[00:00] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: welcome back!
[00:01] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: now, if you want to try to install that again, i recommend you make a new backup of the status file. maybe like this --> sudo cp -v  var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status-05-24-2010.good
[00:01] <Loshki> nerdy_kid: dd is not a good way to clone an hd to a larger hd. dd works best when the two hds are the same size and geometry. Use cp -a, or rsync, or dump/restore, or tar or cpio instead. Is it a bootable disk?
[00:01] <Coded1> has anyone been talking about issues where boxes are not coming back from sleep lately?
[00:01] <blue_anna> yea mine does that too
[00:02] <nerdy_kid> Loshki its an entire windows XP installation
[00:02] <blue_anna> I swear I have every possible ubuntu bug right now
[00:02] <Coded1> blue_anna, did this just happen recently?
[00:02] <Loshki> Coded1: I see complaints about hibernations failures fairly frequently on this channel...
[00:02] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok so if things go wrong, I just have to switch back that file and remove the packages files
[00:03] <blue_anna> Coded1: you mean the too much anesthesia to come back from sleep problem? no, its never worked
[00:03] <Loshki> nerdy_kid: might wanna ask on #windows?
[00:03] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: if things go south, all you'd probably really need to do is just copy the good backup you made over the status file
[00:03] <nerdy_kid> Loshki oh tsk its a hard drive question, not a windows one ;)
[00:03] <Coded1> Loshki, ty, everything was going great until about a week or two ago when I updated 9.10 the box would be lost after sleep then I started geting kernel panics on reboot
[00:04] <Loshki> Coded1: um, dunno, consider downgrading again?
[00:05] <Coded1> Loshki, it happened before I went from 9.10 to 10.04 just upgraded the packages (not a dist upgrade) but might as well give it a shot
[00:05] <Loshki> nerdy_kid: it's not as simple as that. My understanding is that you can't just clone windows systems the way you can with linux. Some anti-piracy thing I gather....
[00:06] <Coded1> nerdy_kid, I think there might be some issues doing that with NTFS as well, there are tools to do that with linux filesystems but not sure about ntfs
[00:06] <nerdy_kid> Loshki ahh...im not moving the system from the orignal pc though, just changing the drive...
[00:06] <ElTimo> why can't empathy do file transfer?
[00:06] <Loshki> nerdy_kid: outside my expertise, sorry...
[00:06] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok well thank very much for your help !
[00:06] <blue_anna> that's telempathy, not just plain empathy :P
[00:06] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: you're welcome. enjoy! :-)
[00:07] <nerdy_kid> Loshki ok :) well i suppose that time will tell if i can do it lol
[00:07] <Loshki> onetinsoldier: good job...
[00:07] <nos4a2> I have a ??? when I try to run the Nvidia X Server Settings I get a message "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." How do I restart it?
[00:07] <onetinsoldier> Loshki: thanks
[00:07] <blue_anna> ElTimo: which netowkr are you connecting to? file transfers work on google talk
[00:07] <Loshki> nerdy_kid: might wanna google a bit first...
[00:07] <Coded1> nos4a2, CTRL + ALT + BKSPACE
[00:07] <ElTimo> not on aim, which works with every other instant messenger
[00:07] <nerdy_kid> Loshki yeah thanks :)
[00:07] <nos4a2> k
[00:07] <gotsanity> How do I turn off mouse emulation for my logitech dual action joystick?
[00:08] <orangeglo> blue_anna: hey so i think i fixed my admin rights
[00:08] <blue_anna> orangeglo: nice :)
[00:08] <CyL> Would someone please give me advice on installing the broadcom drivers? I've already gone through what is explained in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx withou much success...
[00:08] <Browdux> i used unetbootin to install the i386 desktop version of ubuntu on my flash drive, but my bios isn't recognizing my usb drive. is there a way to fix this?
[00:09] <ElTimo> blue_anna, i don't want to have to install pidgin, because empathy is the default and i don't feel like making it fit in like empathy does
[00:09] <nos4a2> where do I do it?
[00:09] <orangeglo> blue_anna: uid=1000(cody) gid=1000(cody) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),105(lpadmin),119(admin),122(sambashare),1000(cody)
[00:09] <orangeglo> blue_anna: does that look better?
[00:09] <progre55> hi guys. I've got a core 2 duo, and my second CPU has been showing "0% usage" for a while now.. I'm kinda concerned.. any suggestions, please?
[00:09] <Coded1> nos4a2, restart the X session?  Just do it ;)
[00:09] <dancek> nerdy_kid, i think 'dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY bs=8M' (where sdX is old and sdY new HD) would copy your disk just fine, though you might be unhappy when you can't use the extra space in the new disk -- and i'm not completely sure
[00:09] <ElTimo> progre55, why would you be concerned? that's great!
[00:10] <ElTimo> have you been doing things with it?
[00:10] <blue_anna> ElTimo: pdgin is a darn good alternative to have as a fallback though, if you find functionality lacking in empathy (like audio / video in msn, or apparently file transfers in aim)
[00:10] <blue_anna> orangeglo: yup, do sudo echo "hi mom!"
[00:10] <nerdy_kid> dancek yeah thats what i need to fix, i heard somewhere that there is a way to fix it
[00:10] <progre55> ElTimo: well, both of them used to show at least some load.. but now the second one is silent..
[00:10] <orangeglo> blue_anna: event not found
[00:10] <liquidmeson> nerdy_kid:http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5269738/Hiren_s_Boot_CD_10.1
[00:10] <blue_anna> event?
[00:10] <ElTimo> i know, i like pidgin a thousand times more than empathy, and i hate shuttleworth and company for giving it the axe
[00:11] <blue_anna> I dont even know what that is :P
[00:11] <orangeglo> blue_anna: thats what it says :\
[00:11] <maco> ElTimo: its still in the repos
[00:11] <dancek> nerdy_kid, if you copy just one partition to another that's *exactly* the same size, that could work and then you could make the other partitions whatever
[00:11] <ElTimo> i mean, i know it's still developed, but it's not default, so it's not going to get the kind of integration with the rest of ubuntu
[00:11] <maco> ElTimo: empathy was chosen for its gnome integration. non-gnome apps are pretty much only included when there is no good gnome app
[00:11] <nos4a2> sorry I don't get it
[00:12] <nerdy_kid> dancek hmm ok, yeah i could then resize the partition using windows apps
[00:12] <maco> ElTimo: pidgin didnt have integration with ubuntu to begin with. its cross platform. a bit hard for it to work the same on windows and linux *and* be integrated into gnome
[00:12] <dancek> nerdy_kid, seriously, do you plan to use the whole *new* HD for windows?
[00:12] <blue_anna> orangeglo: oo my bad man! oo wow -- it's the exclamation point
[00:12] <blue_anna> orangeglo: do sudo echo 'hi mom!' instead
[00:13] <nerdy_kid> dancek yeah, its for a friend of mine, if it was mine windows wouldnt even be on it LOL
[00:13] <hmw> Remote Viewer in Lucid can use less colors (like 64). How can I install it in Karmic?
[00:13] <CyL> Anyone would please help mi installing my broadcom wireless card?
[00:13] <liquidmeson> nerdy_kid: that disk should have some pretty easy to use apps for cloning and resizing
[00:13] <orangeglo> blue_anna: it asked for my password. i tyed it in and it said , Sorry, try again...
[00:13] <blue_anna> get your password right
[00:13] <nerdy_kid> liquidmeson thanks :)  ill have to check it out tomorrow, LOST on hulu here :)  thanks also to dancek :)
[00:13] <orangeglo> blue_anna: my password is right! how else would i be on right now??
[00:13] <dancek> nerdy_kid, a word of advice, tell your friends that you don't know any windows stuff anymore... that has saved me a lot of trouble :P
[00:14] <nerdy_kid> dancek lol yeah im gettin paid though :P
[00:14] <blue_anna> orangeglo: you're sure you didnt fudge the password? :P that's gotta work now, you're in the right group
[00:14] <dancek> nerdy_kid, oh ok then :) well good luck
[00:14] <MPX_> Hey, I know this isn't for Kubuntu, but that channel is dead. Does anybody know how to remove the line marker on Quassel IRC client? Searched the options and views...found nothing, That red line sure irritates me :S
[00:14] <Slasher`> where's everyone elses share for helping you nerdy_kid :P
[00:14] <blue_anna> !sudo
[00:14] <nerdy_kid> dancek thanks :)
[00:14] <Coded1> nerdy_kid, if you gotta do it then I would grab a copy of ghost of tpb or somewhere and use that
[00:14] <orangeglo> blue_anna: i know its the right password. its the same pass ive used for the past 10 years
[00:14] <afroman> hello. I'm trying to make my laptop as a wifi hotspot. this is the website I found http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/share-you-internet-wirelessly-on-ubuntu/
[00:14] <afroman> the question is, am I missing something? this method doesn't work
[00:14] <nerdy_kid> Slasher` um....
[00:15] <Coded1> nerdy_kid, linux and windows dont mix well
[00:15] <nos4a2> smft... next ? Ubuntu Software Center is not in the menu... can I get it there? Ubuntu Studio 10.04
[00:15] <CyL> !nvidia
[00:15] <gotsanity> how do i stop my joystick from acting linke a mouse?
[00:15] <nerdy_kid> Coded1 thanks :)
[00:15] <Coded1> np
[00:15] <orangeglo> blue_anna: when it asks me for my pass it doesnt let me type it in the line that it asked for. i have to hit enter and type it below. could this mess things up?
[00:15] <Coded1> gotsanity, pull its tail!
[00:15] <apn> Coded1: sure they do.
[00:15] <nerdy_kid> off to LOST -- bye all!
[00:16] <blue_anna> orangeglo: when you first enter the sudo command, it gives you a new prompt, for to enter it the password. does the name there match your current username?
[00:16] <gotsanity> Coded1, joysticks have tails?
[00:16] <Pirate_Hunter> is it possible to make a group and chown a folder to that group?
[00:16] <afroman> can anybody here help me create a wifi hotspot?
[00:16] <orangeglo> blue_anna: ya it is the right name
[00:16] <Coded1> gotsanity, does it have a flexible thing coming from the back of it off your desk?
[00:16] <blue_anna> sorry, tired .. my english is hurting
[00:16] <Coded1> :)
[00:17] <blue_anna> mm
[00:17] <progre55> so, is it fine that my second CPU is not showing any load? like, 0% usage..
[00:17] <liquidmeson> nos4a2, sudo apt-get install software-center
[00:17] <nos4a2> ah thanks
[00:17] <orangeglo> blue_anna: okkkkk omg. i had no idea that it wouldnt show up when i typed it.
[00:17] <orangeglo> blue_anna: it echoed, " hi mom"
[00:17] <Coded1> apn; for things like resizing ntfs its kinda wacky unless you know of a better way other than ghost?
[00:17] <blue_anna> orangeglo: ooo good :)
[00:17] <orangeglo> blue_anna; hah yay!
[00:18] <afroman> anyone?
[00:18] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: i don't see why not. you might want to use the 'chgrp' commnad. but chown could be used
[00:18] <orangeglo> blue_anna: so where to go from here? did you have this issue with 10.4 as well?
[00:18] <blue_anna> orangeglo: did you save that link for the isntructions we found earlier? cause I've had to reboot since then
[00:18] <apn> Coded1: gparted is just fine for ntfs.
[00:18] <liquidmeson> afroman, click the wifi icon, >create new wifi network
[00:18] <orangeglo> blue_anna: >.<
[00:18] <blue_anna> orangeglo: once we walk through it together with you, I'm doing the same thing to mine :)
[00:18] <Daekdroom> Where are the program icons stored?
[00:19] <orangeglo> blue_anna: i didnt save it :\
[00:19] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier, hmm just tried chown but it outputs that the user doesn't exist that is why I asked I dont wish to create a user but add the group to that folder will look at chgrp
[00:19] <blue_anna> orangeglo: just a sec, I'll scan my history
[00:19] <Coded1> apn; never used it myself if nerdy_kid comes back I will let him know
[00:19] <orangeglo> blue_anna: ok cool :)
[00:19] <Coded1> apn, never used it for ntfs parts
[00:19] <gotsanity> does anyone know how do i stop my joystick from acting like a mouse?
[00:19] <fatum> How could I check if a package is installed, then do something, else do something else?
[00:20] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: roger. if using chown, i think you'd do it like this... chown .grp_name <file>
[00:20] <afroman> liquidmeson: like on this website?  http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/share-you-internet-wirelessly-on-ubuntu/
[00:20] <fatum> basically if (package) { // do this } else { // or this }
[00:20] <fatum> in shell
[00:20] <apn> Coded1: it works fine. There is a separate distro called gparted as well, whose sole purpose is to edit partition. In ubuntu it will do fine with ntfs-progs package.
[00:20] <dancek> gotsanity, by modifying xorg configuration (sorry, i can't tell more exaclty)
[00:20] <MPX_> Hey, I know this isn't for Kubuntu, but that channel is dead. Does anybody know how to remove the line marker on Quassel IRC client? Searched the options and views...found nothing, That red line sure irritates me :S
[00:21] <Coded1> apn; now I know, and knowing is half the battle ;)
[00:21] <gotsanity> dancek, thanks for the response, however the joystick isnt even listed under xorg.conf
[00:21] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier, will try
[00:22] <afroman> anybody?
[00:22] <blue_anna> orangeglo: how is your spanish? I only saved a different page in spanish language because I didnt think I'd be doing this with you still
[00:22] <dancek> gotsanity, any recent xorg does some autoconfiguration on top of or instead of xorg.conf et al
[00:22] <Coded1> apn; its not that I don't trust the linux utils I just don't trust MS at all
[00:22] <blue_anna> orangeglo: I mean I can translate it, but you'd probably want the reference
[00:22] <jove> hello, does anyone know how to install "ISO" direct to the system without burning to DVD/CD ?
[00:22] <blue_anna> weird its not in my history
[00:22] <uli3> So guys, first I installed ubuntu, second i installed windows, then i went through the process of restoring ubuntu grub. But, it just now boots straight into ubuntu, it doesn't give me a list with grub or anything.
[00:22] <orangeglo> blue_anna: my spanish isnt good enough to understand what its saying :\
[00:23] <Coded1> jove, google linux loopback device
[00:23] <blue_anna> oo I found it! http://www.ubunturoot.com/2010/05/how-to-change-mouse-cursor-in-ubuntu.html
[00:23] <jove> coded1: how to run it ? can you give a tip?
[00:23] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: roger. you can use chown to change both a user and group ownership all in one show. for example, if i have a file that is owned by root and is group root and i want to change both to my user, then i do...  chown onetinsoldier.onetinsoldier <file>  ..to change just the group, i would do...  chown .onetinsoldier <file>
[00:23] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier, chgrp did the trick thanks I also learnt a new command
[00:23] <Coded1> jove, wait you want to install linux from an iso to your computer?
[00:24] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: cool :-)
[00:24] <apn> jove: "sudo mount -o loop name.iso /where/to/mount"
[00:24] <jove> yes Coded1
[00:24] <blue_anna> anyone know how I can get the sessions menu back on the login screen if it just decided to go on strike for some reason?
[00:24] <uli3> anyone know how to have grub display the list on boot?
[00:24] <Coded1> jove to the same drive?
[00:24] <uli3> it just loads straight into ubuntu
[00:24] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier, that is what I was missing the dot/fullstop before the name and it was picking it up as user
[00:24] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: you're welcome
[00:24] <acerimmer> uli3: u have to have more than 1 OS to get a list
[00:25] <microlith> is there a slightly more technical Ubuntu forum, or might anyone know why a call to glibc backtrace() works fine on 9.10 but segfaults on 9.04?
[00:25] <blue_anna> microlith: #ubuntu-devel
[00:25] <uli3> acerimmer: i do, i added one as well
[00:25] <acerimmer> uli3: sudo update-grub
[00:25] <acerimmer> to update the list
[00:25] <orangeglo> blue_anna: i guess just read me the terminal commands? thats all that it really was right?
[00:25] <uli3> acerimmer: yeah i did that
[00:25] <blue_anna> microlith: or that might be ##gnome
[00:26] <microlith> blue_anna: they're about ubuntu development, and glibc != glib
[00:26] <uli3> acerimmer: it added windows
[00:26] <nos4a2> could someone tell me how to restart the nvidia x-server?
[00:26] <acerimmer> uli3: then the only thing i can think is that your default timeout is too short.  google for the fix
[00:26] <uli3> acerimmer: actually, i should get rid of that, it found xp itself
[00:26] <Coded1> jove; not entirely sure what you want to do but I think you might want to run the installer for a linux distro from inside a running linux desktop?
[00:27] <CyL> the ubuntu provided drivers for broadcom wireless cards are not working for me... would someone please offer any advice?
[00:27] <dancek> microlith, 9.04 has glibc 2.9 whereas 9.10 has 2.10.1, so it's probably something that was fixed in between those versions
[00:27] <Coded1> cyl; worst case senario is ndiswrapper
[00:27] <bukayoo> uli3: comment out /etc/default/grub/GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[00:27] <uli3> acerimmer: rebooting
[00:27] <uli3> hrm
[00:28] <apn> Coded1: jove: or install from usb. alternatively, through nfs share.
[00:28] <blue_anna> orangeglo: you already did step one. step two translates as "(cd /usr/share/icons && sudo tar -zxvf /full/path/to/icons_pack)"
[00:28] <CyL> Coded1: I see, but my card is listed as working.. and a friend of mine who has the same hardware said it worked for him
[00:28] <bukayoo> uli3: then update-grub
[00:28] <uli3> bukayoo: alright, rebooting
[00:28] <Coded1> cyl; what chipset is it?
[00:29] <apn> CyL: you will have to list your card (chipset, exact) and driver you are using. Try with command "lspci -vv" and pastebin its output
[00:29] <Coded1> CyL, you can check to see if the driver is loaded using "lsmod"
[00:29] <blue_anna> orangeglo: step three is "sudo vi /usr/share/icons/default" and step 4 .. well you can see that pretty clearly in the documentation .. you know the name of the theme right?
[00:29] <CyL> apn, Coded1: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
[00:29] <orangeglo> blue_anna: hrmm says no such file or directory
[00:30] <blue_anna> orangeglo: step 3 ?
[00:30] <gabe__> testing 1 2 3
[00:30] <orangeglo> blue_anna: step 2
[00:30] <blue_anna> orangeglo:  I should have said "sudo vi /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme"
[00:30] <apn> CyL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1368699
[00:30] <blue_anna> orangeglo: then you got your path wrong :)
[00:31] <blue_anna> orangeglo: where is the file, in the directory you're in right now ?
[00:31] <orangeglo> blue_anna: meaning i typed it wrong?
[00:31] <CyL> apn: I'll cheack, thanks
[00:32] <Coded1> CyL, I think I found the same thread as apn, but if not give it a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309760
[00:32] <orangeglo> blue_anna: is this to get your mic working? or to change pointer style? im sorry :|
[00:32] <blue_anna> orangeglo: pointers :) I thought that was the objective
[00:32] <orangeglo> blue_anna: no it is! hahah. i just remember throwing out two questions into the channel
[00:33] <orangeglo> blue_anna: haha lemme find that packet
[00:33] <blue_anna> orangeglo: oo. so where's the icon pack you downloaded?
[00:33] <blue_anna> :=)
[00:33] <Coded1> si there an easy way to disable all power saving entirely?
[00:33] <Coded1> *is
[00:34] <blue_anna> Coded1: system-Zpref-Zpower management .. set everything on both first two tabs to "never"
[00:34] <orangeglo> blue_anna: its in my downloads folder
[00:34] <blue_anna> Coded1: oop ->prefs->power management
[00:35] <Coded1> blue_anna, ty but it still doesnt seem to help, it was set up like that last night and this morning it was dead as a door nail
[00:36] <blue_anna> orangeglo: cd into that folder to make this easier
[00:36] <blue_anna> orangeglo: then do
[00:36] <blue_anna> orangeglo: (cd /usr/share/icons && sudo tar -zxvf `rube -e "puts File.expath_path('that_filename')"`)
[00:36] <blue_anna> ** ruby
[00:36] <orangeglo> blue_anna: what does cd mean? i feel dumb for asking this
[00:37] <blue_anna> ooh man :)
[00:37] <blue_anna> change directory
[00:37] <aeon-ltd> is sudo an acronym?
[00:37] <acerimmer> Super User Do Over?
[00:38] <SteamInc> Does anybody know were i can get hands on 10.10 beta or alpha
[00:38] <blue_anna> orangeglo: cd ~/Downloads && (cd /usr/share/icons && sudo tar -zxvf `rube -e "puts File.expath_path('that_filename')"`)
[00:38] <blue_anna> aeon-ltd: I think it's like "do as su" .. su is the command to switch user to a different account
[00:39] <blue_anna> orangeglo: again ruby, not rube :P dammit
[00:39] <blue_anna> man
[00:39] <SteamInc> Does anybody know were i can get hands on Ubuntu 10.10 beta or alpha?
[00:40] <blue_anna> tough to write this up in a failsafe way :)
[00:40] <sidney> I installed synaptic from command line but cant start it. Same for Chromium
[00:40] <aeon-ltd> SteamInc: try google
[00:40] <SteamInc> Aeon i am trying
[00:40] <SteamInc> their is no solid download site
[00:40] <Drakeson> I don't seem to be able to change the cursor-theme. is that normal in lucid?
[00:40] <rizlah> Is there a system administration tool for ubuntu similar to yast on SuSE?
[00:40] <vlt> aeon-ltd: So it's actually "switch user and do" ;-)
[00:40] <acerimmer> Drakeson: no it's not normal.
[00:40] <kr3w> How do i exit x server?
[00:41] <acerimmer> Drakeson: make your changes, log out and back in
[00:41] <blue_anna> kr3w: you mean stop it completely? change to runlevel 3 on the console
[00:41] <kr3w> how do i do that exactly?
[00:42] <h00k> SteamInc: You can talk about 10.10 in #ubuntu+1
[00:42] <aeon-ltd> SteamInc: i don't think they've released the isos, not sure how phoronix has one though
[00:42] <h00k> !maverick | SteamInc
[00:42] <SteamInc> Ive noticed that many people have it on youtube.
[00:43] <orangeglo> blue_anna: ok i typed in step 2 and it said that it put it there
[00:43] <orangeglo> blue_anna: what did it say after you typed in that last command
[00:43] <orangeglo> blue_anna: and was that step 2?
[00:43] <Drakeson> acerimmer: did so, even after reboot the "normal cursor" is still unchanged. other cursor modes (e.g. when it changes for window resizing) actually change, though
[00:44] <blue_anna> kr3w: ctl+alt+f1 (through f6, your choose), and then log in .. then do it .. I think it's init 3 or runlevel 3 or something, look up runlevel in ma to get a feel for that
[00:44] <blue_anna> *man
[00:44] <aeon-ltd> meh
[00:44] <blue_anna> orangeglo: step two was the long command we just did.. step three is
[00:44] <maco> blue_anna, kr3w: runlevel 3 is meaningless on ubuntu
[00:44] <blue_anna> orangeglo:  "sudo vi /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme"
[00:44] <acerimmer> Drakeson: try changing themes to see if cursor alters.  Other than that i don't know what to try.
[00:44] <SteamInc> Yo guys Alpha is coming out June 3
[00:45] <maco> blue_anna, kr3w: runlevels 2-5 are all "run a desktop manager if it exists" in the debian world
[00:45] <blue_anna> maco: is that true?
[00:45] <sidney> fail to execute child process "synaptic" ( no such file or directory) do i just try sudo aptitude install again?
[00:45] <h00k> SteamInc: Please discuss 10.10 in #ubuntu+1 :)
[00:45] <maco> blue_anna: yes
[00:45] <orangeglo> blue_anna: what happened for you after step 3?
[00:45] <SteamInc> Just telling u guys if u wanted to know
[00:45] <blue_anna> maco: so ubuntu server installs and runs on runlevel 1 by default?
[00:45] <maco> blue_anna: no it runs at runlevel 2
[00:46] <maco> blue_anna: theres no desktop manager installed on server, so obviously one can't run ;-)
[00:46] <blue_anna> orangeglo: after step 3 is the fourth step exactly as it says in the instructions
[00:46] <maco> blue_anna: ubuntu /always/ runs at runlevel 2 unless you screw with it
[00:46] <kr3w> okay so the answer to my question is?
[00:46] <progre55> how can I kill a zombie process?
[00:47] <h00k> progre55: kill processidgoeshere
[00:47] <h00k> !kill | progre55
[00:47] <h00k> hrm. that wasn't as useful as I hoped
[00:47] <progre55> h00k: aha, and I'm even trying "sudo kill -9 <id>", doesnt help
[00:47] <blue_anna> maco: so what are you supposed to do to turn off x? there's an rc2.d script for that?
[00:47] <progre55> h00k: as it's a zombie process..
[00:47] <maco> blue_anna: aye
[00:48] <h00k> progre55: kill -9 should do it as well
[00:48] <maco> blue_anna: though like i said, ubuntu server doesnt include X to start with
[00:48] <Drakeson> acerimmer: thanks
[00:48] <acerimmer> Drakeson: result?
[00:48] <blue_anna> maco: why are there rc5 scripts that aren't in rc2 if it defaults to rc2? sorry just that, that's fascinating to me
[00:48] <progre55> h00k: but it's not doing it :)
[00:49] <maco> blue_anna: not sure. could be weirdness in a few packages. they *should* all match by default
[00:49] <grendal_grime> hey wtf ..how do i mount a cdrom or iso...
[00:49] <progre55> h00k: as I'm saying, it's a "zombie" process, so I cant kill it..
[00:49] <progre55> is the only way to restart??
[00:49] <h00k> grendal_grime: please watch the langauge, acronyms count as well.
[00:49] <blue_anna> I'm looking at it, I was wrong .. they are the same -- I just saw it as different because I'm so used to thinking about it as different
[00:49] <blue_anna> :P
[00:49] <orangeglo> blue_anna: did you get yours to work?
[00:49] <h00k> ubottu: iso | grendal_grime
[00:49] <grendal_grime> mount /dev/cdrom no work..or mount ...
[00:49] <SteamInc> Later Guys
[00:49] <bukayoo> progre55: google kill zombie
[00:49] <blue_anna> orangeglo: still waiting on you
[00:50] <progre55> bukayoo: thanks
[00:50] <h00k> !google | bukayoo
[00:50] <blue_anna> orangeglo: you set the name ?
[00:50] <progre55> I'll try that)
[00:50] <perikal> hola
[00:50] <orangeglo> blue_anna: well i typed in steps 2,3. i'm still not sure as to what step 4 is.
[00:50] <blue_anna> orangeglo: oo I just realized, I told you to use vi -- probably a bad idea
[00:50] <grendal_grime> well ...no i have a cd in the drive  i cant mount it.
[00:50] <orangeglo> blue_anna: hahah okk
[00:50] <hanlin> you have to kill the parent processes to kill the zombie
[00:50] <blue_anna> perikal: hola :) q tal? -- va a #ubuntu-es
[00:50] <foxmulder_> grendal_grime: I usually use the -t iso9660 or whatever to mount optical media
[00:50] <hanlin> in system monitor, choose view->dependencies
[00:50] <foxmulder_> .
[00:50] <orangeglo> blue_anna: im using an x11 file. is that the type your using as well?
[00:51] <blue_anna> orangeglo: tell me where it comes from and I'll use that one
[00:51] <grendal_grime> i use to just ..mount /dev/cdrom
[00:51] <vectra> quit
[00:51] <grendal_grime> but ummm that is obviously not going to work
[00:51] <blue_anna> :P later I'm using mac pointer icons
[00:51] <Ganymede> hmm...anyone knows what happens when my inode numbers are all used i'm? i'm dealing with millions of files here...it's only a matter of time before it becomes billions
[00:51] <orangeglo> gnome-look.org
[00:51] <foxmulder_> grendal_grime: Why not. It works for me.
[00:51] <vectra> exit
[00:51] <h00k> !iso | grendal_grime
[00:52] <AaronM> ubuntu gets to live, thank you guys for putting a dpkg in the recovery menu :/
[00:52] <foxmulder_> grendal_grime: Sorry, I thought you were mounting a physical cd and not an actual iso image. My bad.
[00:52]  * AaronM notes to enable anti-hibernate thing while doing a dist-upgrade next time
[00:53] <h00k> AaronM: Good call :)
[00:53] <_blackwater_> ****
[00:53] <hmw> i ssh'ed into another box, then killed the resulting process -9 on that other box, ending with a frozen terminal on the first box. How can I get out of that "broken" ssh without killing the ssh process? Is there some shortcut or other trick, to get back to the shell?
[00:53] <grendal_grime> well its in a vm enviro..it looks like a regular cd to the envir
[00:53] <blue_anna> perikal, vente a #ubuntu-es, somos llenos allá también
[00:54] <foxmulder_> grendal_grime: Yeah but is it a disc in your drive?
[00:54] <neuro_damage> is the add-apt-repository in lucid, part of a particular packaged?
[00:55] <Pirate_Hunter> I have a directory that only the root | .foobar (group which I belong to) is allowed to access, the permission is 770 yet when running an application that requires to read one of the folders in that directory I have permission denied I have to change permissions to 777 to be able to fix the problem however wouldn't that mean any user is able to access that directory now?
[00:55] <TannerF> a lot of Ubuntu's GUI is python, right?
[00:55] <greenfish> is there a package for lucid providing vmlinux? i may be overlooking the correct source. i'd like to avoid building it if possible...
[00:55] <blue_anna> Pirate_Hunter: chmod o+x
[00:55] <maco> TannerF: the ubuntu-specific parts, yes
[00:55] <maco> TannerF: the gnome upstream parts are mostly C though
[00:55] <blue_anna> Pirate_Hunter: on directories or they cant be traversed
[00:55] <TannerF> ahh
[00:57] <Jordan_U> Ganymede: When you run out of inodes you can no longer add new files (with ext2/3/4). You'd have to mkfs with more reserved inodes (no way to increase the number in an already created FS).
[00:57] <blue_anna> how could I add the session menu back to the login screen, if it's decided to take a vacation without my leave :P
[00:57] <Pirate_Hunter> blue_anna, didn't get what you meant by "on directories or [i]they cant be traversed[/i]", can you explain?
[00:57] <grendal_grime> foxmulder_, well the way this has always worked in the past.  I point the virtual box to connect the dvd drive to the iso.  Vbox guest additions basically.  Then i mount the cdrom drive..and install the guest additions.
[00:57] <Jordan_U> Ganymede: Well, I guess if you don't mind the bleading edge you could convert in place to btrfs which allocates inodes dynamically.
[00:57] <widardd> hey
[00:58] <pavel_> hello everyone
[00:58] <foxmulder_> grendal_grime: I guess my lack of vm use and skills halts me here.\
[00:58] <blue_anna> Pirate_Hunter: like, if the directory that you can't traverse with your app is /path/to/foo , then do "chmod o+x /path/to/foo"
[00:58] <widardd> how is that possible, i remove my user-pw through "passwd -d", but still need a password to login?
[00:58] <bukayoo> progre55: try this
[00:58] <bukayoo> progre55: ps aux | awk ‘{ print $8 ” ” $2 }’ | grep ‘Z’ |awk ‘{print $2}’ |xargs kill -9
[00:59] <grendal_grime> grrr grunt...
[00:59] <pavel_> what do you disscus?
[00:59] <blue_anna> Pirate_Hunter: 774, not 770
[00:59] <kr3w> figured it all out by the way :/
[00:59] <blue_anna> or .. whichever it is for execute :)
[00:59] <MPX_> Hey, I know this isn't for Kubuntu, but that channel is dead. Does anybody know how to remove the line marker on Quassel IRC client? Searched the options and views...found nothing, That red line sure irritates me :S
[00:59] <Jayd3e> how is the security number calculated? like how does it become 777 or 770?
[01:00] <undecim> Jayd3e: Do you know how to convert a number from octal to binary?
[01:00] <AaronM> how do i get 10.04 to stop making my gnome-terminal opaque D:
[01:00] <Jordan_U> !permissions | Jayd3e
[01:00] <greenfish> its binary, 4 three digit binary numbers
[01:00] <Jayd3e> thanks
[01:00] <mutk> It is a bit mask in fact :)
[01:01] <Jordan_U> MPX_: /join #quassel
[01:01] <orangeglo> does anyone here use cairo-panel?
[01:01] <MPX_> Hey Jordan! Thanks!
[01:01] <Jordan_U> MPX_: You're welcome.
[01:02] <eross> just installed lucid, how do i browse my shared network folders on ubuntu 9.10?
[01:02] <h00k> !anyone | orangeglo
[01:02] <blue_anna> orangeglo: success?
[01:02] <qos> hey guys. i recently upgraded to lucid. my dust theme has a thin gray border on left and right. somebody know whats going on with this?
[01:02] <Pirate_Hunter> blue_anna, thanks for that info 774 is not correct I assume its because I require the execute permission which is needed for accessing the actual folder, I wonder if their isn't a way to bypass that i.e. be able to have apps read config files from the directory without letting anyone else be able to read it or even access it?
[01:02] <eross> just installed is equivalent to when it was released
[01:03] <atlantik-pc> problemi con plug-in flash su ubuntu ultima release , a chi posso chiedere
[01:03] <greenfish> Pirate_Hunter: read != execute
[01:03] <orangeglo> blue_anna: no :( i guess im just a bit confused as to know if im doing the right thing
[01:03] <orangeglo> blue_anna: after i type in those commands how do i know i typed it in right?
[01:03] <orangeglo> blue_anna: or if it did what it was supposed to do
[01:03] <Jayd3e> are the exit/minimize/maximize buttons located on the top right of a window by default in Lucid or is that just my theme? it is super weird if they changed tht to the default
[01:03] <blue_anna> Pirate_Hunter: revert it with "o-rw o+x" -- that should be exactly what you want. they can't read in the directory, but they can traverse it ..
[01:04] <blue_anna> that's what I was triyng to tell you the first time
[01:04] <greenfish> what package/source provides vmlinux in 10.04? or am i required to make it?
[01:04] <h00k> Jayd3e: It is theme controlled, by default, the theme uses them on the left
[01:04] <Jayd3e> ic, is that standard for linux?
[01:04] <wad> What's the name of that nice .PDF reader from adobe? I can't find it on 10.04 anymore....
[01:05] <Jayd3e> h00k: ic, is that standard for linux?
[01:05] <Daekdroom> wad, Adobe Reader?
[01:05] <wad> Daekdroom, yeah, that one! What happened to the package? Synaptic package manager can't find it anymore.
[01:05] <Pirate_Hunter> blue_anna, Sorry I didn't get it the first time, that makes sense now thanks
[01:05] <doom777> !dropbox
[01:06] <Daekdroom> wad, add the partner repo
[01:06] <marco69> TEEN FOR ME?
[01:06] <h00k> Jayd3e: I'm not sure what you mean. Gnome 2.30 included in Lucid allows themes to control where the buttons are
[01:06] <blue_anna> orangeglo: that's kinda a good point. Let me tell you another way to execute commands on the filesystem as root. do "sudo nautilus" .. that will open a file browser with root privledges. then you should be able to uncompress the package in the download directory and move the unpacked part (only) to that directory from earlier .. then double click on the index-theme file and edit it with gedit .. and it'll be gui and natural
[01:06] <blue_anna> to you
[01:06] <maco> marco69: what?
[01:06] <h00k> !ot | marco69
[01:06] <h00k> !support | marco69
[01:06] <blue_anna> orangeglo: after you're don with it, make sure to close that nautilus window, you could acceptentally do damage to your system with taht thing
[01:07] <h00k> ubottu: controls | Jayd3e
[01:08] <blue_anna> orangeglo: people use the prompt normally because its faster -- but it kinda loses its luster when you dont know the prompt very well yet :)
[01:08] <orangeglo> blue_anna: where am i ultimately trying to get this file to? that would help me understand alot more
[01:08] <uLinux> hello How do I reset windows size.. ie Emesene
[01:08] <abdouxx> salut
[01:08] <uLinux> salut
[01:08] <abdouxx> a tous
[01:08] <Jayd3e> h00k: thanks.  Btw, where can I find all of the available commands that Ubotto accepts
[01:08] <uLinux> !fr | abdouxx
[01:09] <greenfish> Jayd3e: use man. man -k <keyword>
[01:09] <abdouxx> desole
[01:09] <h00k> !bot | Jayd3e
[01:09] <Jayd3e> lol
[01:09] <blue_anna> orangeglo: did you read the instructions from that web page? it's really, really short -- like 30 words short
[01:09] <qos> i recently upgraded to lucid. every window has a thin gray border on left and right. somebody know whats going on with this?
[01:09] <Jayd3e> I'm digging ubuntu
[01:09] <greenfish> Jayd3e: or look at the standard gnu binaries, or hit <tab><tab> on an empty prompt in bash
[01:09] <h00k> greenfish: he was referring to ubottu, the bot :)
[01:09] <greenfish> ahh ;)
[01:10] <foxmulder_> qos: What theme are you using?
[01:10] <orangeglo> well i did. but i would need to look at it again. and since you only gave me terminal prompts i didnt really understand it outside of the commands
[01:10] <blue_anna> orangeglo: you want the unpackaged stuff from that file, but not the file itself, in /usr/share/icons
[01:10] <qos> foxbuntu, Dust
[01:11] <orangeglo> blue_anna: where usr= my user name?
[01:11] <foxmulder_> qos: Try changing your theme. Are you sure it's not just part of it? I use Human personally so I don't know.
[01:11] <greenfish> blah. ubuntu is irritating me right now ;) ubottu: where do i get vmlinux? i don't want to build it on this slow hardware
[01:11] <blue_anna> orangeglo: no that's the actual /usr folder on the filesystem
[01:11] <abdouxx> I am a new user for ubuntu
[01:11] <qos> foxbuntu, Other themes are not affected. But Dust was ok before... just want it back :)
[01:11] <h00k> abdouxx: I welcome you to #ubuntu-beginners
[01:12] <orangeglo> blue_anna: am i able to access that usr file by navigating through nautilus?
[01:12] <foxmulder_> qos: Probably part of the updated version of that theme. Perhaps?
[01:12] <abdouxx> I loved it and has a lot of first use
[01:13] <qos> foxmulder_, no. it just broke. even tried the newest version of it. stilll no success :(
[01:14] <blue_anna> orangeglo: normally no. but if you go to a terminal  type "sudo nautilus", that gives you a root nautilus window that you can literally do anything to the filesystem -- just be careful not to accidentally mess anything up :P
[01:14] <cody> blue_anna:
[01:14] <eross> do I need to install samba on lucid to browse my 9.10 machine?
[01:15] <blue_anna> eross: I dont know samba, sorry
[01:15] <foxmulder_> qos: Try reinstalling that theme maybe.
[01:15] <blue_anna> eross: you can always start remote desktop on the 9x machine . but .. I dont know taht either
[01:15] <greenfish> eross: connect over ssh to another linux machine instead
[01:16] <cody> blue_anna: do i need to extract through nautilus in order for it to bypass root?
[01:16] <blue_anna> cody: what? sorry, I seem to have gotten involved in too many threads :P
[01:16] <cody> blue_anna: hahaha its ok. so im in nautilus right now
[01:16] <greenfish> eross: places->connect to server. choose ssh as the protocol. it will use sftp and be quite nice
[01:17] <blue_anna> cody: I was talking to orangeglo about using nautilus
[01:17] <eross> thanks
[01:17] <gotsanity> does anyone know how do i stop my joystick from acting like a mouse?
[01:17] <cody> blue_anna: oh sorry. this is me
[01:17] <cody> blue_anna: it used my log in name i guess
[01:17] <cody> blue_anna: that must have been confusing! hahah
[01:17] <blue_anna> cody: :)
[01:18] <Arphetic> Any KQLives players here?
[01:18] <blue_anna> umm, so now, you're not bypassing root -- anything you launch or do through nautilus now, is done as root -- you *are* root now
[01:18] <cody> blue_anna: so im in nautilus. now do i need to access my downloads folder through nautilus in order to extract it to the icons folder?
[01:18] <Ganymede> Jordan_U, thanks for the answers
[01:18] <cody> blue_anna: because i tried doing it by hitting system, places, download. and extracting it to icons that way. but it said that i didnt have permission
[01:18] <blue_anna> cody extract it in place, then drag the results to the other directory like you would normally
[01:19] <cody> ok
[01:19] <qos> foxmulder_, workaround is to use a similar theme without borders ... lol ...
[01:19] <Jordan_U> Ganymede: You're welcome.
[01:19] <Samual> I've been having a lot of issues with samba right now

[01:20] <jzacsh> time*
[01:20] <blue_anna> I've lost the sessions menu on the login screen, although the files are still in /usr/share/X11 - how do I recover the sessions menu at login?
[01:20] <jzacsh> cp -rpv was what i tried (as root user) -- but still got errors that i'm not permitted to move some stuff in /etc
[01:20] <Super-Man> ! backup | jzacsh
[01:21] <[GL]Kaiser> hi
[01:21] <cody> blue_anna: ok so i dragged in the folders, and i see them in my icons folder. now what do i do?
[01:22] <blue_anna> codywow man, I expected you to know what you're doing now that it's a graphical user interface ..
[01:22] <cody> blue_anna: well its in their and i went to system/preferences/appearance and now i dont see what i dragged in -_-
[01:22] <blue_anna> edit the index.theme file like it says .. but do taht by double-clicking the file in nautilus, or better yet, right click and select edit
[01:22] <tech1> anyone want to try something?
[01:22] <Jayd3e> jzacsh:  do a ls -l on the /etc directory
[01:23] <hmw> tech1: i am already. ;-)
[01:23] <jzacsh> Jayd3e: and then what?
[01:23] <jzacsh> Jayd3e: specifically, what do you want me to look at in /etc
[01:23] <Jayd3e> jzacsh:  find out who owns it, I meant to say ls -l on root dir
[01:23] <foxmulder_> qos: So it is just part of the theme itself?
[01:23] <jzacsh> Jayd3e: root owns it
[01:23] <mindoverflow> hi
[01:23] <jzacsh> Jayd3e: but that shouldn't matter, because i was running as root user
[01:24] <gotsanity> does anyone know how do i stop my joystick from acting like a mouse?
[01:24] <Jayd3e> jzacsh: idk, just a thought
[01:24] <jzacsh> any thoughts why cp -rpv wouldn't work to move a directory as root ?
[01:24] <mindoverflow> I'm new to ubuntu, I need to copy some sgi efs cd contents on ubuntu
[01:24] <qos> foxbuntu: no, a bug makes the normal theme ugly. as a workaround they are offering a version without borders (the part with is affected by the bug)
[01:25] <mindoverflow> as far as i know efs is not supported
[01:25] <mindoverflow> any idea ???
[01:25] <jzacsh> mindoverflow: use a windows install (even i without a key) -- just to unencrypt the files, and copy them over.
[01:26] <mindoverflow> i'm talking about sgi efs not windows
[01:26] <jzacsh> mindoverflow: idk anything about efs. but i just found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412055
[01:26] <mindoverflow> efs= extent file sys
[01:27] <mindoverflow> jzacsh> do you see what i mean???
[01:27] <krabador> how can i install a .deb package from terminal?
[01:27] <jzacsh> mindoverflow: the following link shows that ext4 might help you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extent_%28file_systems%29
[01:28] <undecim> krabador: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[01:28] <Cuervo> Is projecteuler.net down?

[01:31] <aganice_> hey, could someone point me to a tutorial on how to troubleshoot general system instability?
[01:31] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> i dont even no where to start on this
[01:32] <aganice_> i'm not seeing anything that looks relevant in /var/log/syslog
[01:32] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> i can no longer boot winxpp after installin ubuntu 10.04 lucid
[01:32] <Maletor> it's not .rar...... clicking the first one plays something.....
[01:32] <Maletor> ablebit choppy as heck
[01:32] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> i chose ext3 part cuz i read that ext4 cud render xp unbootable
[01:32] <aganice_> and i'm getting daily crashes on a new install of lucid
[01:32] <jzacsh> aganice_: that's a very very vague thing to try to trouble shoot
[01:32] <compaq> blue_anna, hey guess what the problem was, remember the startup bash script, all I had to do was put and ampersand at the end of the command and it worked
[01:32] <arand> vic20gmr_[lucid]: What happens when you try to boot XP, does ubuntu work?
[01:32] <blue_anna> compaq: enlightenment?
[01:33] <jzacsh> aganice_: you're better off trying to decide what you notice that constitutes "instablility" on this particular system, and then trouble shooting those characteristics
[01:33] <aganice_> jzacsh, yeah, i'd love to narrow it down, but just a way of escalating system logging or something might get me enough clues to ask a better q
[01:33] <blue_anna> compaq: o my god :) grats
[01:33] <jzacsh> aganice_: i don't follow
[01:33] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> wen i choose xp fom grub menu, i get a blinking underscore, and thatas it
[01:33] <jzacsh> aganice_: what do you mean "escalate" system logging?
[01:33] <aganice_> jzacsh, all i mean is i get total freezes about twice daily. and i can't think of any common elements
[01:33] <Jayd3e> jzasch:  does ubuntu have a safe mode where it turns off all processes unrelated to the OS
[01:33] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> arandwen i choose xp fom grub menu, i get a blinking underscore, and thatas it
[01:33] <compaq> blue_anna, yeah, but I dont even need it anymore, cause so many other things don't work in e16 so I switched to e17
[01:33] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> arand: wen i choose xp fom grub menu, i get a blinking underscore, and thatas it
[01:34] <blue_anna> compaq: jou got it :)
[01:34] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> arand: im on the machine i want to b able to bbot my xp part fropm
[01:34] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]:  If you can boot Ubuntu, download and run the boot info script from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[01:34] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> im in lucid as we type
[01:34] <aganice_> jzacsh, so help on where to look or how to start generating an equivalent of debug output on ubuntu
[01:35] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: ok, wut duz it do?
[01:35] <Zolomon> what does "rm -rf /" ?
[01:35] <aganice_> would be awesome
[01:35] <Zolomon> delete everything?
[01:35] <blue_anna> Zolomon: hackers, hackers do that
[01:35] <blue_anna> Zolomon: yeas
[01:35] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: It looks at boot configurations, MBRs, etc to diagnose boot problems (like what you're having)
[01:35] <Zolomon> ah :D
[01:35] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> do i run from term?
[01:35] <blue_anna> Zolomon: actually no, it will hose your system so much that it starts erroring out long before it completes the rm
[01:35] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: yes
[01:36] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: If you download and run it, then post a pastebin with the output, it will tell me all I need to find the problem
[01:36] <Jon--> How do I ensure xbindkeys is running on startup? [only after running xbindkeys-config and hitting apply & exit do they work, yet xbindkeys-config lists the proper binds when opened]
[01:36] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: ok, i always get pastebin wrong
[01:36] <blue_anna> I've lost the sessions menu on the login screen, although the files are still in /usr/share/X11 - how do I recover the sessions menu at login?
[01:36] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> how do i?

[01:37] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> ok
[01:39] <acerimmer> "Guest Login" missing from lucid Indicator Applet Session.  Fix?
[01:39] <liquidmeson> acerimmer, update?
[01:39] <Super-Man> blue_anna : try moving your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.BACKUP and reboot and see if it helps
[01:40] <orangeglo> blue_anna: i just wanted to thank you for the help so far. im sorry that its been such a struggle
[01:40] <acerimmer> liquidmeson: all updates in place.
[01:40] <liquidmeson> acerimmer, :p sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:40] <acerimmer> i USED to have "Guest" but lost it somewhere along the way
[01:40] <mun_> hi
[01:40] <mun_> does anyone know how to upgrade to lucid via command line?
[01:40] <acerimmer> liquidmeson: i'll try. TY
[01:41] <blue_anna> orangeglo: :) sorry I couldnt get it working for you
[01:41] <arand> mun_: do-release-upgrade
[01:41] <liquidmeson> mun_, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[01:41] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: i opened term, type in <filename>.sh
[01:42] <orangeglo> blue_anna: i feel that im close though. i extracted the folder. and i moved it into the icons folder under nautiuls. is this what im supposed to do? it would seem like it is at least...
[01:42] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> it says can not find it
[01:42] <blue_anna> Super-Man: I don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[01:42] <mun_> ok thanks
[01:42] <arand> vic20gmr_[lucid]: bash filename.sh
[01:42] <liquidmeson> vic20gmr_, you might have to sudo chmod +x filename.sh
[01:42] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: Whata arand said. He beat me to it.
[01:42] <blue_anna> orangeglo: that, plus you have to tell your system to use that pointer pack now, like it said in steps 3 and 4
[01:43] <orangeglo> ok
[01:43] <blue_anna> Super-Man: you meant for lucid ?
[01:43] <orangeglo> blue_anna: ok. thanks
[01:43] <linxeh> hmm, on 10.04 alt seems to have stopped working for me in irssi - ie I cant press alt+num to get to a window. any ideas ?
[01:43] <paul__> what does it mean if I try to run something and it says I have to run it in a top level directory?
[01:43] <liquidmeson> linxeh, try the other alt?
[01:43] <Super-Man> blue_anna : Question Again! gone high up in the clouds

[01:44] <Jon--> How do I ensure xbindkeys is running on startup? [only after running xbindkeys-config and hitting apply & exit do they work, yet xbindkeys-config lists the proper binds when opened]
[01:44] <austin987> where do I adjust fontconfig settings for lucid? wine recently started using fontconfig for font displays, so my fonts all look horrible
[01:44]  * blue_anna thinks taht k0rn might wait a month or two more
[01:44] <linxeh> liquidmeson: nope, nothing
[01:44]  * k0rn thinks he should have
[01:44] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: wut u make of my paste?
[01:44] <Super-Man> blue_anna : Yes ! Lucid
[01:45] <linxeh> k0rn: I'm pleased with lucid; what are you regretting ?
[01:45] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: you forgot the .sh
[01:45] <blue_anna> Super-Man: I don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file .. did you suggest moving that to backup as a solution for ubuntu lucid for my missing sessions menu/options?
[01:45] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> if u dreamed of ubuntu 10.04, itd b a "lucid" dream
[01:45] <k0rn> the machine does not suspend properly any more for starters
[01:45] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> hehe
[01:45] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> ok
[01:45] <k0rn> not to mention the redick boot time
[01:45] <Risawa97> hi i need help getting eternal lands working on ubuntu
[01:45] <paul__> q
[01:45] <blue_anna> Super-Man: that might be the problem -- do you know what package owns that file?
[01:45] <Unholy1> Yeah, Suspend and Hibernate are broken for me too
[01:45] <blue_anna> weird that that file just disappeared .. I did some xkb stuff rewcently but it should still be there
[01:46] <SolarisBoy> eternal lands = internal lan?
[01:46] <Jayd3e> is anyone here an actual developer for ubuntu?
[01:46] <Unholy1> Not having Suspend is a hassel
[01:46] <acerimmer> "Guest Login" missing from lucid Indicator Applet Session.  All updates installed.  Used to have "Guest" but lost it somewhere along the way.  "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" no fix

[01:46] <paul__> paul@netbook:~/compat-wireless-2010-05-20$ ./scripts/driver-select ath9k
[01:46] <paul__> Must run ./scripts/driver-select from the compat-wireless top level directory
[01:47] <Risawa97> the guide im reading for eternal lands say to chmod the 64 bit bin to 775 but i dont know what chmod is
[01:47] <acerimmer> Jayd3e: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList  developer channels included
[01:47] <h00k> Risawa97: chmod changes permissions on a file

[01:52] <gorlak_> question - i have a ubuntu headless server. how do i get a desktop session to start, even if no monitor is attached. so i can login via vnc to display :0 , i can start a vnc server and have it start on display :1 but how can i do it via display :0 ?
[01:53] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: hav u seen the script output?
[01:53] <ghone> Does anyone here know how to play the BOS Wars game?  I don't understand how to get rid of the trees.
[01:53] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: No, sorry. Did you post it?
[01:53] <AndrewX192> gorlak_, why not use FreeNX?
[01:53] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> http://paste.ubuntu.com/439124/
[01:54] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> i think i forgot to put link here :\ sry! :)
[01:54] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: http://paste.ubuntu.com/439124/
[01:54] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: i think i forgot to put link here :\ sry! :)
[01:54] <gorlak_> AndrewX192, must have passed that one by, does it work for display : 0 ?
[01:55] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: Okay, somehow, grub got installed to sda1, where your Windows boot code should be.
[01:56] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> well i was running 9.10 and chose xp from grub on that
[01:56] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: well i was running 9.10 and chose xp from grub on that
[01:57] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: will i be able hav  a way of not losing my current xp install, but still b able to boot lucid OR xp?
[01:57] <fatius> I set my gtk_key_theme to emacs. Is there a way to override a specific keybinding in there? (not the general "keyboard shortcuts" from the system menu)
[01:58] <nexo> ubuntu-es
[01:58] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: Yes, you just need to fix your XP boot sector. I'm pretty sure there is a way to fix it without messing up grub, but I'm going to double-check myself first.
[01:58] <orangeglo> blue_anna: do you have a link to that site. i wanna bookmark it
[01:58] <acerimmer> vic20gmr_[lucid]: you're installs are safe but u do need to config grub for access.  u should NOT be reinstalling.  I've got a guid partition for OSX and mbr parts for win7 and ubuntu - on ONE hdd.  GPTSYNC saved my bacon
[01:58] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: i was loking ovr output, and i think i now kno how it works
[01:58] <blue_anna> orangeglo: good idea http://www.ubunturoot.com/2010/05/how-to-change-mouse-cursor-in-ubuntu.html
[01:58] <AndrewX192> gorlak_, It doesn't require a display or anything
[01:58] <eross> another silly question - for multiple virtual desktops, is it possible to restrict the desktop icons to a certain single desktop?
[01:58] <AndrewX192> gorlak_, its like RDP for windows
[01:58] <AndrewX192> much faster than VNC
[01:59] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: i shud download a pkg called GPTSYNC?
[01:59] <nexo> alguien habla espaoñl por aki?
[01:59] <blue_anna> eross: not sure but check under apps-nautilus in gconf-editor
[01:59] <gorlak_> AndrewX192, thats half my problem i need persistant desktop. I run a few applications on the server that require a desktop to function, at least for simplicity
[01:59] <nexo> ubuntu spanish?
[01:59] <acerimmer> !es|nexo
[01:59] <AndrewX192> gorlak_, it lets you detatch your connection
[01:59] <blue_anna> nexo:
[01:59] <blue_anna> nexo: sí, eso
[01:59] <blue_anna> :)
[02:00] <nexo> #ubuntu-es
[02:00] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: no

[02:00] <AndrewX192> gorlak_, huh?
[02:01] <blue_anna> eross: doesnt look like it
[02:01] <CyL> hi all, iḿ having a really hard time getting 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) to work on my computer, any help would be appreciated...
[02:01] <linxeh> does lucid still have a keystore / keyring thing? or do I need to install it ?
[02:01] <acerimmer> linxeh: keyrings are installed by default in lucid
[02:01] <linxeh> acerimmer: how do I get to the gui for it ?
[02:02] <linxeh> oh ignore me
[02:02] <linxeh> its got a "cuddly" name
[02:02] <cybrocop> Hi all. How can I easily find out the package update release history for Ubuntu. I want to know when Ubuntu decided to release versionX of packageY (Note, i don't want the apt-get log.) Is there a website that catalogs this somewhere/
[02:02] <duckwars> what do I keep getting this error about running the script from a top level directory?
[02:02] <acerimmer> *ignoring*
[02:02] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: Well, it looks like you will have to wipe grub (temporarily) to fix this...
[02:02] <linxeh> acerimmer: :) thanks
[02:03] <acerimmer> cybrocop: if u know the package name, there's a wiki or source site which details all info
[02:03] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: wut about this:
[02:03] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9161171
[02:03] <linxeh> and is there a tool for managing SSL certificates (ie adding new CA/root certs) or shall I just do it manually ?
[02:03] <cybrocop> acerimer: yes, I know the package name.
[02:03] <acerimmer> cybrocop: google the package name + ubuntu or +lucid
[02:04] <orangeglo> blue_anna: i dont mean to bother you. but i just have one more question. on step 4 it says, change the line inheris to name of my icon. how am i able to edit that text?
[02:04] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: Yes, that is what you need to do. That is what I was searching for
[02:04] <Nick07> hi
[02:05] <acerimmer> Nick07: greetings
[02:05] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: the "fixboot" command from Windows. Do you have a XP recovery cd?
[02:05] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> ahh ok, ill try it, and tell u how it went
[02:05] <Nick07> i cant seem to get rid odd cfs no mater what i try please help
[02:06] <acerimmer> Nick07: "cfs"??
[02:06] <blue_anna> orangeglo: doubleclick it from the root nautilus window you created with "sudo mautilus" :) the gedit that laucnhes will run as root too
[02:06]  * wildbat greets the channel ^^/ 
[02:06] <Nick07> something cryptography
[02:06] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: Just don't use the "fixmbr". That will wipe grub. fixboot should fix your problem without wiping grub.
[02:06] <blue_anna> orangeglo: when you're done with that window, close hte terminal or hit control-c in the terminal to end the gdm session it starts for root
[02:06] <Dj_FlyBy> anyone else having an issue with UNR & Flash? I am trying to watch a video stream (many different ones) and it keeps telling me that I need to install missing plugins (Flash). When I go and check/try to install it tells me I already have it installed. Any suggestions please
[02:06] <orangeglo> blue_anna: when i double click it says that it isnt a folder. i tried right clicking to see what options would come up, but i didnt see any edit function
[02:07] <Sasquatch7> What does everyone think of Linux Mint?
[02:07] <undecim> Dj_FlyBy: You have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[02:07] <blue_anna> orangeglo: you're clicking on the index.theme file in the folder -- there's a line break in that instructions that confused me too
[02:07] <wildbat> !flash | Dj_FlyBy
[02:07] <Nick07> get exit status 2
[02:07] <onetinsoldier> not really on topic for this channel Sasquatch7. ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:07] <Dj_FlyBy> undecim: yes restricted is installed and so is adobe flash
[02:08] <Sasquatch7> onetinsoldier: My apologies.
[02:08] <onetinsoldier> Sasquatch7: no problem
[02:08] <Nick07> any  advice?
[02:08] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: is lilo a boot mangr?
[02:08] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> am i risking no bootability?
[02:08] <orangeglo> blue_anna: do you mean the instructions on the site??
[02:08] <wildbat> Dj_FlyBy,  try reinstall it then
[02:09] <blue_anna> orangeglo: were there any others? yeah
[02:09] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim:  u said use "fixboot", is that something i type into terminal?
[02:09] <Nick07> cfs removal
[02:09] <Nick07> ?
[02:09] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: You need to type "fixboot" into the recovery console from a windows XP CD.
[02:09] <orangeglo> blue_anna: it just says to edit the text. how else do i access it without double clicking? im confused
[02:09] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> ahh
[02:09] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> ok
[02:10] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> brb [hopefully]
[02:11] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: are you in need of learning a command line text editor?
[02:11] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: ya probably. if thats what i need in order to edit the command line... i feel so dumb for asking these seemingly elementary questions .__.
[02:11] <Random832> orangeglo: what are you trying to do
[02:11] <Random832> also, a link to the instructions you are trying to follow would be useful as well
[02:12] <orangeglo> http://www.ubunturoot.com/2010/05/how-to-change-mouse-cursor-in-ubuntu.html
[02:12] <orangeglo> im trying to edit my cursor
[02:12] <orangeglo> i'm on step 4
[02:12] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: no worries. i could teach you real quick how to use 'vim' for simple text editing. i know just enough to be dangerous with it myself. all i know is simple editing with it. nothing more
[02:13] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: i would love any help that you would offer
[02:13] <Dj_FlyBy> wildbat: thanks, that actually worked perfectly. I wonder if maybe when I did the upgrade from UNR 9.04 to 10 if maybe it borked the flash install?
[02:13] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: sure. one moment
[02:13] <jar349> orangeglo, vim is pretty powerful, but you could pick up nano in 10 seconds
[02:13] <wildbat> Dj_FlyBy, it could have get the default alternative flash file reset
[02:13] <jar349> just nano <file>  and then Ctrl-O to save and Ctrl-X to quit
[02:13] <jar349> done
[02:14] <orangeglo> jar349: onetinesoldier has offered to teach me some vim
[02:14] <jar349> orangeglo, now you know nano
[02:14] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: what does 'dpkg -l vim' show?
[02:14] <hmw> orangeglo: don't worry about asking beginner's questions, we all started at zero. It might be wise to think 2 more times before a) pressing return b) asking a question. I wish you much fun with hacking your "command line" *grins*
[02:14] <Dj_FlyBy> wildbat: well it is working now; thanks.
[02:14] <wildbat> Dj_FlyBy, you are welcome
[02:14] <orangeglo> hmw: haha thank you
[02:15] <Random832> wow there are instructions to fix the compiz cursor thing?
[02:15] <Random832> does it also fix qt apps?
[02:15] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: typing in 'dkpg -l vim' says command not found
[02:15] <Random832> i've been using metacity for weeks
[02:15] <Random832> orangeglo: dpkg not dkpg
[02:16] <orangeglo> oh whoops

[02:19] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: yes. you did say you have it installed, right?
[02:20] <Jondlar> i like when mass unban is done
[02:20] <acyles> yes
[02:20] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: ok cool. im downloading Vim right now
[02:20] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: ok, roger that
[02:20] <Jondlar> how can i install gcc on ubuntu 10.04 ?
[02:20] <Random832> does anyone know how to set the size with that? i got DMZ-Black to work, but it's in the small size
[02:21] <Jondlar> i want to program in c objective
[02:21] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: you were saying something about being "dangerous" can this app be exploited pretty heavily?
[02:21] <guiniol> i have a bit of a problem related to gdm or/nad nvidia drivers
[02:21] <guiniol> is this the right channel?
[02:21] <wildbat> !make| Jondlar
[02:21] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: no, it's a little joke. i know just enough to be dangerous with something. i know just enough about a hammer to be dangerous with it ;-)
[02:22] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: haha okk. cuz someone else said, "have fun with your hacking"
[02:22] <Jondlar> !packages gcc
[02:22] <Random832> what's the gnome preferences option to turn on compiz?
[02:23] <Random832> just doing compiz --replace breaks things for me
[02:23] <Jondlar> oh i got sudo command :)
[02:23] <jar349> orangeglo, http://kroeker.net/published/hackers_do_not_break.htm
[02:23] <onetinsoldier> Jondlar: try --> sudo aptitude install gcc gobjc
[02:24] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: now go to the line you want to edit. if you need to search for a term in the file to find the line, press  /  and enter search term
[02:24] <Random832> why doesn't compiz have the ambiance theme anymore? it's using some other theme?
[02:24] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: that was assuming you have the file open in vim
[02:24] <a16BitSoft> Been using Ubuntu 10.04 since release - best OS ever made
[02:24] <onetinsoldier> long live lucid :-)
[02:24] <Jondlar> thanks onetinsoldier :) it is working
[02:25] <onetinsoldier> Jondlar: cheers :)
[02:25] <Jondlar> by the way, what is difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[02:26] <Random832> i just enabled compiz after following those instructions, and it's not giving me the ambiance theme
[02:26] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: ok so i have a terminal filled with ~'s now. it says /path/to [new directory]
[02:26] <onetinsoldier> Jondlar: that's not a short explanation. for now, let's just say, not really a whole lot unless you use the aptitude ncurses interface with simply the command --> aptitude
[02:26] <Random832> the window ecorations stay the same no matter what i do
[02:27] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: i'm not sure what you looking at.. can you pastebin it?
[02:27] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: you didn't get a file opened in vim yet?
[02:28] <jon123> hello
[02:28] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: it works now! thx for the help
[02:28] <jon123> i have a question, I just installed UNR and it seems to be running pretty slow
[02:28] <schultza> whats the name of the partitioner in the livecd?
[02:28] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: i typed in vim <WiiCursorTheme> and it is saying syntax error near unexpected token
[02:28] <jon123> anyhelp?
[02:28] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: no problem
[02:29] <undecim> schultza: GParted
[02:29] <Random832> no-one's listening to me
[02:29] <Random832> compiz isn't respecting my window decoration settings
[02:29] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> undecim: as i only have tor working in xp, im gonna switch to that, gotta watch dr who! :D
[02:29] <schultza> undecim, thanks.
[02:29] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: ok, press :    ...then press q and press enter key
[02:29] <Random832> and those instructions don't cover how to get a large cursor theme
[02:29] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> bb in ubuntu land after that
[02:29] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: tell me if that got you out of vim
[02:29] <undecim> vic20gmr_[lucid]: You can get tor working in Ubuntu, too. You have to add the repositories.
[02:29] <jar349> Random832, Compiz is known to have problems in vanilla 10.04
[02:29] <Jondlar> oh thanks onetinsoldier  :) although it seems above my level :P
[02:30] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> i tried using instr on tor site
[02:30] <Random832> jar349: but it had the proper window decorations _before_ i gave up on it due to the cursor issue
[02:30] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: all it said was command not fount
[02:30] <Random832> that was on beta2
[02:30] <jar349> Random832, at least, the last time I checked, it crashes when you select a theme
[02:30] <onetinsoldier> Jondlar: :-) it's great if you learn it. i love using it
[02:30] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: found*
[02:30] <Random832> it's just IGNORING my theme
[02:30] <jon123> anybody else having problems with UNR
[02:30] <hiexpo> evening all
[02:30] <Random832> well, it uses the colors - but they match like crap with ambiance
[02:30] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> but im gonna watch the olde doctor, and that scotish hotty he runs around with
[02:31] <Random832> and does nyone know how to get a large cursor theme with the workaround orangeglo is trying ot use?
[02:31] <duckwars> can anyone tell me why I keep getting this "Must run scriptx from the top level directory?
[02:31] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> ill bb here after, perhaps ill try the tor thing again then, and if need be, ask for help here
[02:31] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> ltrz
[02:31] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: ok, never mind that then. vim never started for you.   do this...    vim file   ..replace 'file' with the name of your file of course
[02:31] <duckwars> paul@netbook:/compat-wireless-2010-05-20/scripts$ ./driver-select ath9k

[02:35] <BooVeMan> hi there - I try to install ubuntu via wubi in my legacy notebook and face some grub woes - on booting it gives me a "Error: cannot allocate real mode pages" - google isn't my friend today - so I'm asking here
[02:35] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: im getting this line of ~'s though. is this where im supposed to be? at the bottom it says my file name and then [New File]
[02:36] <guiniol> with the nvidia drivers, when I boot i get in low graphics mode, but if i go to the console and start gdm everything is fine
[02:36] <guiniol> is there a way to get around that?
[02:36] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: the ~ are normal if the text file is very short in length

[02:37] <charless40> ayuda con backtrack
[02:37] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: however, it sounds like you did not open the file.. you are creating a new file
[02:37] <afterdark> guiniol: I had the same problem, i had to remove the nvidia drivers and reinstall them
[02:37] <guiniol> afterdark: it works the first time i reboot, but then it doesn't
[02:38] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: vim file  -or-  vim /path/to/file

[02:38] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: you need to exit out of it first.. sorry
[02:38] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: ok that might have been it
[02:38] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: press :    ...then press q and press enter key  to exit out of vim

[02:39] <afterdark> guiniol: strange, thats what did it for me, are you not saving the nvidia created xorg.conf file?
[02:39] <guiniol> afterdark: it took me a while to figure out that i just needed to start gdm

[02:40] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: ok. so all that im entering into terminal is ":" and "q"
[02:40] <guiniol> afterdark: i tried with the old xorg.conf (9.10) and the one generated from nvidia-xconfig
[02:40] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: but yes... :q  ..then press enter  are you entering this into vim?
[02:40] <BooVeMan> MrBigHam: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[02:41] <guiniol> afterdark: it only works on the first boot, that is what I find really strange
[02:41] <jonatan> do you can configure pam auth bluetooh on xubuntu 10.04?
[02:41] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: no, ive just been entering it into the terminal. i'm not sure that ive been in vim
[02:41] <MrBigHam> BooVeMan: I got the message "Failed to Fetch" for everything
[02:42] <MrBigHam> BooVeMan: and the update is only 31mb

[02:42] <afterdark> guiniol: when you get the low graphics mode error?
[02:43] <Pici> !es | jar349
[02:43] <jonatan> thanks!
[02:43] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: ok, i keep assuming that vim opened for you. because you saw a bunch of ~ chars
[02:43] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: so, you are at the command prompt?
[02:43] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: yes i am
[02:43] <jar349> no problem =)

[02:44] <guiniol> afterdark: Failed to initialize kernel module
[02:44] <Jahnkeanater> how do i set up auto mount without losing write privlage
[02:44] <dtcrshr> or any browser-based sound with jack?
[02:44] <guiniol> afterdark: but the module is properly loaded and if I restart x maually (switch to console and type 'sudo start gdm') it works
[02:45] <BooVeMan> MrBigHam: diff between beta and release arn't always big
[02:45] <guiniol> afterdark: that's all I need to do
[02:45] <edbian> When I open a new tab in firefox it is blank.  Can I change that?
[02:45] <BooVeMan> MrBigHam: check your sources.list - should point to archives.ubuntu.com and read lucid
[02:46] <afterdark> quiniol: strange, sorry i cant be of more help.. i would try to complete remove all of the drivers, reboot and see if ubuntu trys to reinstall them
[02:47] <greenfish> is a kernel-image-debug package available for 2.6.32 in lucid?
[02:47] <BooVeMan> MrBigHam: http://pastebin.com/FJmN2Z3n
[02:48] <Jahnkeanater> do i have to regester irc
[02:48] <Jahnkeanater> register
[02:50] <jimbro> No just use it
[02:52] <un214> is there a better way than removing the module after every upgrade to get rid of a module that won't respect blacklist?
[02:52] <un214> the module came in its own package but trying apt-get remove to get rid of it said it would have to remove e2fsprogs
[02:53] <MrBigHam> BooVeMan: Thanks a lot. May I ask where do I add all of the sources?
[02:53] <Ari_Lazarus> Hi guys. I'm trying to reconfigure imwheel to use my left and right mouse wheel button clicks to navigate forward and back. Does anyone have experience using it?
[02:53] <Random832> Ari_Lazarus: they don't already do that?
[02:54] <Ari_Lazarus> Not for Firefox - it horizontal scrolls instead :/
[02:54] <Adola> Hi!  How can I install the opensource drivers for ATI cards? (I want to see if 2d rendering is faster with opensoruce vs fglrx)
[02:56] <BooVeMan> MrBigHam: That would be the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:57] <Sasquatch7> anyone got some good recommendations for running ubuntu in windows? a virtual box i think?
[02:58] <BooVeMan> Sasquatch7: parallel or alternatively?
[02:58] <srini> how to disable usb port in Linux?
[02:58] <Sasquatch7> BooVeMan: parallel if possible.
[02:58] <BooVeMan> virtualbox or vmware
[02:58] <Sasquatch7> BooVeMan: I know wubi does alternatively.
[02:58] <Sasquatch7> BooVeMan: ok cheers.
[02:58] <gogeta> Sasquatch7: vitrulbox is pretty snappy and free
[02:58] <Sasquatch7> BooVeMan: what would you recommend?
[02:58] <gogeta> !best
[02:58] <Sasquatch7> gogeta: oh ok, thanks.
[02:59] <BooVeMan> virtualbox as its free software - but if you cant life without USB in the virtual box that would be vmware
[02:59] <gogeta> BooVeMan: virtulbox can do usb
[02:59] <Adola> Hi!  How can I install the opensource drivers for ATI cards? (I want to see if 2d rendering is faster with opensoruce vs fglrx)
[03:00] <BooVeMan> never tried virtual pc from MS (y work the other way around - windows within ubuntu
[03:00] <BooVeMan> gogeta: nope - not the open source version
[03:01] <gogeta> BooVeMan: 8i download the deb from sun it does usb
[03:01] <gogeta> BooVeMan: in his case the exe
[03:01] <BooVeMan> thats not the open source edition wichis in the ubunut repros
[03:01] <kyle_> could anyone tell me what to mount my partition at? I am installing over an old distro and have another  os on here already. I want to over write sda1 (ext2) I chose use as Ext2 file system and think the mount point should be "/" but am unsure
[03:01] <gogeta> BooVeMan: oh
[03:02] <gogeta> BooVeMan: never use them being there never up2date with suns versions
[03:02] <kyle_> anyone know the mount point i should use?
[03:02] <gogeta> kyle_: anywhere you whant it to be
[03:04] <kyle_> well i want it to completly erase the other partition without harming the other os. what is the difference between "/" and "/boot"
[03:05] <gogeta> kyle_: oh your talking gparted
[03:05] <gdiz> hello everyone, I am trying to set the mask on the smb.conf so that when I create a directory in the samba share, only the owner can delete or alter contents.  I thought that was the sticky bit.  would the mask be directory mask and what would be the octal?
[03:05] <Gib> If you're installing the entire OS to a single partition then mount it to /
[03:05] <kyle_> yeah the install wizard type thing that comes on the live cd
[03:05] <gogeta> kyle_: / is your root partation your only need that and swap but its a good idea tomake a /home for personal data
[03:06] <hiexpo> does anyone know the pastebin server code for using webboard there
[03:06] <gogeta> kyle_: so your mount point would be /
[03:06] <Sasquatch7> kyle_: can't you choose to install both side by side? (moving the slider)
[03:06] <kyle_> ok thanks. what does the /boot mean? and i have swap space from a prevous install. how does that home space differ from the home folder that is created with the install? i have heard of backing up the home folder but didn't really understand how
[03:07] <c0l2e> which is better in performance KVM or Virtualbox??
[03:07] <skimat> should I go for nvidia-common , nouveau , or .bin & .... from nvidia.com ?
[03:07] <gogeta> kyle_: /boot is used to store the kernel its relly unnedded
[03:07] <kyle_> ahh ok. thanks for the help!! I will see if this works ^_^
[03:07] <skimat> on a geforce 3 ti not recognized on Preferences/Hardware Drivers  after installing all modaliasses
[03:08] <ElTimo> WHY would those idiots choose empathy over pidgin? Pidgin works a thousand times better than empathy. what the fuck.
[03:08] <ElTimo> pardon my language but empathy is just so terrible and i can't understand the logic
[03:08] <Lithium_Rain> Hi, I'm getting this error trying to open an encrypted file: "There is no application installed for PGP/MIME-encrypted message header files"
[03:09] <skimat> xchat should have ctrl + tab to switch chanels
[03:09] <gogeta> kyle_: everything can be stored on / but as i said if you ever do fresh installs etc and done wanna losr personal data its a good idea to make a /home as well
[03:09] <ElTimo> i'm going back to windows
[03:10] <skimat> shopping ?
[03:10] <gogeta> ElTimo: na na good byw
[03:10] <Flannel> ElTimo: You're welcome to remove empathy and reinstall pidgin.
[03:10] <kyle_> windows has its purpose but linux is optimal
[03:10] <skimat> someone with nvdia xp ?
[03:11] <Tim_> how can i modify a file with: -rwxrwxrwx@
[03:11] <Lithium_Rain> sudo chmod
[03:11] <Flannel> !chmod | Tim_
[03:11] <Fah> Tim_: is that a symbolic link?
[03:11] <c0l2e> which is better KVM or VirtualBox ???
[03:11] <gogeta> !vest
[03:11] <gogeta> !best
[03:12] <Tim_> Fah: not sure -- don't think it is symlinks always display as foo -> /mydir/foo
[03:12] <ElTimo> Flannel, yeah i know, but i just don't like how unintegrated it is. the whole thing with the indicator applet still showing "chat" long after removing empathy just pisses me off
[03:12] <edbian> c0l2e, KVM is more robust but does not have a gui component.
[03:12] <ElTimo> lol gogeta
[03:12] <SamuelPeterson> I ran "sudo ifconfig eth2 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:10" on a computer to spoof it's mac address, but it returned "siocsifhwaddr: too many open files in system." I had eth2 down before doing this. I ran ifconfig and the mac did change, but I can not connect to any networks.
[03:12] <Tim_> Flannel: i've worked with permissions for awhile, haven't ever seen -rwxrwxrwx@
[03:12] <Fah> Tim_: ok, cool. The @ threw me off. Chmod is your friend for regular files
[03:12] <c0l2e> edbian it does using libvirt right?
[03:12] <Flannel> Tim_: oh, the @ wasn't a typo?
[03:12] <edbian> c0l2e, No idea
[03:13] <Tim_> Flannel: nope
[03:13] <Tim_> Fah: i chmod to 777
[03:13] <Tim_> still can't modify -- can open in emacs, but can't save
[03:13] <gogeta> yea i always used 777
[03:13] <cody_> onetinsoldier: ;__;
[03:13] <srini> How to disable pendrive in linux?
[03:14] <Fah> that... shouldn't be. 777 is generally not what you want. Assuming you own it, chmod u+w is all you should need
[03:14] <gogeta> unmount it
[03:14] <gogeta> lol
[03:14] <Fah> is the filesystem mounted read only?
[03:14] <onetinsoldier> cody_: ??
[03:14] <cody_> onetinsoldier: it didnt seem to work
[03:14] <Fah> that's about the only thing I can think that would cause that
[03:14] <Tim_> Fah: true enough -- but i am trying here --
[03:14] <onetinsoldier> cody_: i know why
[03:14] <Tim_> Fah: let me try and touch a file on that directory
[03:15] <Mrpeepers310> Is anyone here having trouble enabling the nvidia driver?
[03:15] <skimat> ME
[03:15] <Tim_> Fah: nope -- i could touch a new file in that directory
[03:15] <ElTimo> Mrpeepers310, you have to run nvidia-xconfig
[03:15] <un214> I had more trouble disabling it than enabling it
[03:15] <Fah> Tim_: Can you rename the file?
[03:16] <Fah> just curious
[03:16] <Mrpeepers310> ElTimo: did that after installing them and activating the current one using jockey
[03:16] <Tim_> perilous, but i'll try
[03:16] <Mrpeepers310> ElTimo: still didn't work
[03:16] <TheMozart> hello
[03:16] <Fah> any chance you have an acl set for the file?
[03:16] <TheMozart> Mrpeepers310: what?
[03:16] <Tim_> Fah: just renamed it
[03:16] <ElTimo> Mrpeepers310, did you try logging out and back in?
[03:16] <Mrpeepers310> ya
[03:17] <ElTimo> huh
[03:17] <Mrpeepers310> ElTimo: ya i did
[03:17] <ElTimo> did you use jockey? or did you do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185?
[03:17] <Flannel> Tim_: That means it has "extended attributes" apparently
[03:17] <Fah> Tim_: what are you using to edit it? This is pretty weird behavior  for a file. You obviously can edit it
[03:17] <cjdevlin> Tim_: what is the output of ls -l <filename>
[03:17] <Flannel> Tim_: If it were a + that'd be extended security info
[03:17] <Fah> er, can manipulate it
[03:17] <Mrpeepers310> ElTimo: jockey
[03:17] <Yadda> Need some serious help. Trying to install 10.04, and... Let's just say I'm ready to throw either my hard drive, or my motherboard, out the window.
[03:18] <Tim_> Flannel: Fah : sudo emacs . . . (opening is fine, when i save i get: Opening output file: permission denied, /Volumes/Volume_1/smb_2.conf)
[03:18] <ElTimo> Mrpeepers310, that's why. jockey is a raging piece of shit. do it manually
[03:18] <h00k> !language | ElTimo
[03:18] <Flannel> ElTimo: Please mind your language
[03:18] <Fah> in addition to ls, check getfacl
[03:18] <Mrpeepers310> ElTimo: ok good to know. so is version 195 not working?
[03:18] <fluvvell> is there any way of disabling the keyring, i have a remote pc I want to run with firefox connecting to a site
[03:18] <Fah> Is this an nfs file system?
[03:18] <needhelp1> im having issues watching a dvd on ubuntu 10.04, its saying i need libdvdcss.so.2 ... i have libdvdread4 installed. am i doing something wrong? how can i install the missing file? I've tried vlc, and the default video player
[03:18] <Fah> nfs can quash root
[03:19] <ElTimo> Mrpeepers310, i think for compatibility they kept the package name as -185, but it installs 195 afaik
[03:19] <Tim_> cjdevlin: -rwxrwxrwx@ 1 Tim  staff  1247 May 24 21:30 smb.conf

[03:19] <Mrpeepers310> ElTimo: ok thank you for your help
[03:19] <Fah> if you own it, you shouldn't need sudo. Try it as you.
[03:19] <Tim_> Fah: i did, didn't work either
[03:19] <ElTimo> don't thank me until it works :P
[03:19] <Tim_> and why wouldn't sudo work
[03:20] <Oxford> hi... i am new to using xchar
[03:20] <Fah> sudo should work, unless it's nfs
[03:20] <needhelp1> ive installed the ubuntu restricted pack also :(
[03:20] <Oxford> can anyone tell me how to join the channels?
[03:20] <Yadda> I tried the liveCD... Half the time it dies installing GRUB, the other half it looks like it installed... but then something goes horribly wrong when I try to boot up. Used ext3 with an 8GB swap partition. when I used the alt installer (text-based), the only way it can see my hard drive is if I boot in repair mode, else it says no drive and presents me with a long list of drivers to pick from. I have an EVGA 780i SLI motherboard, and a WD Cav
[03:20] <Yadda> Blue hard drive (WD3200KSRTL)
[03:20] <un214> Oxford it seems you already did
[03:21] <IdleOne> Oxford: the command to join channels is /join #channel
[03:21] <cjdevlin> Tim_: do you have access to the gui or cl only?
[03:21] <IdleOne> un214: Ubuntu xchat is set to autojoin #ubuntu :)
[03:21] <needhelp1> any other ideas
[03:21] <Tim_> this is wierd -- now i have smb.conf~ with the @ sign at the end of the permissions
[03:21] <Yadda> if I use disk manager on the liveCD... either it makes my hard drive disappear, or it changes from sda to sdb
[03:21] <un214> ah
[03:21] <Tim_> so i can modify the file
[03:21] <xangua> needhelp1: you can obtain libdvdcss2 from medibuntu
[03:21] <xangua> !medibuntu
[03:21] <IdleOne> Oxford: xchat.org has a very good FAQ you may want to look at
[03:21] <SidVicious> I've installed a game trough wine, but when I run it the gnome panels don't disappear, anybody knows how to solve this?
[03:22] <Oxford> Idleone: thanks
[03:22] <Fah> Tim_: yah, the twiddle file is how emacs makes a temporary working copy
[03:22] <Tim_> Fah: no, no, the @sign is at the end -- the "extra file attributes" deal
[03:23] <Fah> oh, interesting. What if you make a copy, then copy the edited copy over top the original file?
[03:23] <Oxford> IdleOne, How to register myself with any channel?
[03:23] <Fah> Have you checked for acl restrictions?
[03:23] <skimat> ran NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.16-pkg1.run -> "you appear to be running an Xserv..." (run it from ? mode ||  compile nvidia-xconfig-1.0) ?
[03:23] <IdleOne> !register > Oxford
[03:23] <cjdevlin> Tim_: try: gksu gedit smb.conf
[03:23] <Tim_> o.k. thanks
[03:24] <Yadda> ...skimat, was that directed towards me, and if so... what?
[03:24] <skimat> I ran
[03:24] <Fah> If you can't copy it, then rename the file and replace it with the modified copy.
[03:25] <Fah> Whatever the extended attributes are on the file... that's pretty strange for smb.conf
[03:25] <c0l2e> how can I transfer VM guest from one machine to another in KVM??
[03:25] <Fah> on all my systems, smb.conf is just a plain old text file
[03:25] <Fah> and is generally 644 (permissions)
[03:25] <Yadda> ...I guess I'm going to have to sit here and watch as my computer falls on its face installing ubuntu then instead of someone trying to help me out? :P

[03:27] <francesca> hi all
[03:27] <francesca> is it possible to reset the ubuntu's runlevels?
[03:27] <skimat> Yadda for partitions installation I go for : dling gparted & making an empty space then on installer : install on largest empty space
[03:28] <skimat> Yadda also if you suspect your harddrive : in console : badblocks dev/tadada
[03:29] <cjdevlin> Tim_: i am also pretty sure smb.conf is designed to be edited w/ the swat program: swat smb.conf
[03:29] <SidVicious> I've installed a game trough wine, but when I run it the gnome panels don't disappear, anybody knows how to solve this?
[03:29] <undecim> would "dpkg-reconfigre grub-pc" revert /etc/grub/* files to their default?

[03:30] <needhelp1> xangua, got a second?
[03:31] <SidVicious> nice
[03:31] <xangua> what's up needhelp1¿
[03:31] <Fah> cjdevlin: you can use any text editor to edit smb.conf
[03:31] <Fah> it's supposed to be a plain text file
[03:31] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: no luck
[03:32] <francesca> is it possible to reset the ubuntu's runlevels?
[03:32] <Fah> swat is just a convenience
[03:32] <Fah> granted, it's a nice convenience
[03:33] <cjdevlin> Fah: correct, but i am wondering why the user owns the file and not samba
[03:33] <jgenus> I have some weird stuff going on, netstat -taupe shows listeners like this  www.sexinyourcity any experience with this?
[03:33] <jgenus> How can I get rid of this stuff
[03:33] <Fah> cjdevlin: oh, I think he changed ownerships while trying to edit it
[03:34] <Fah> As long as smb can read it, runtime shouldn't be affected adversely
[03:34] <cjdevlin> Fah: and for someone that's having troubles, when all else fails rtm

[03:39] <francesca> i have another problem, my wireless only works with wicd and not with network-manager
[03:39] <francesca> why?
[03:39] <WindPower> Same here
[03:39] <braintorch> Hello. I got pretty strange problem here: when I log in to another computer via ssh, sudo gives me "incorrect password". But if I passing password through stdout to sudo, it runs ok (i.e. "echo 'password' | sudo -S command" works fine). Does anybody know how to fix that?
[03:40] <WindPower> It bothers me a bit because wicd is a gtk app and it just looks like crap in kde
[03:40] <Mrpeepers310> has anyone had trouble installing/ enabling the nvidia driver and getting compiz to start?

[03:45] <Mrpeepers310> has anyone had trouble installing/ enabling the nvidia driver and getting compiz to start?
[03:45] <skimat> Mrpeepers310 which nvidia drivers are you trying to install ?
[03:45] <Mrpeepers310> skimat: current
[03:45] <skimat> from nvidia.com ?
[03:46] <skimat> or repo ?
[03:46] <Mrpeepers310> skimat: from repo
[03:46] <bastidrazor> skimat: sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled  .. then restart and you will boot to a command prompt

[03:50] <Mrpeepers310> skimat: any ideas?
[03:50] <skimat> Mrpeepers310 maybe you could try getting those drivers from nvidia.com & first step : what bastidrazor just said ;  read somewhere that installing all modaliases from repo was usefull in some cases
[03:50] <zac_> hey guys I have over 100 cds I need to rip to my hdd, is there some software that can rip simultaneously from both of my cd roms quickly, fetch id3 tags cover art etc. and do it the instant i insert a cd?
[03:51] <Mrpeepers310> skimat: i need to install all the modaliases?
[03:51] <zac_> hey guys I have over 100 cds I need to rip to my hdd, is there some software that can rip simultaneously from both of my cd roms quickly, fetch id3 tags cover art etc. and do it the instant i insert a cd?
[03:51] <skimat> you can , from what I got it is like for detecting cards
[03:51] <bastidrazor> skimat: what i said is NOT the proper step for installing a video driver.
[03:52] <zac_> Because everything is labeled Track 1 Track 2 and so on
[03:52] <Mrpeepers310> bastidrazor: so what do i need to do to get my graphics card working again?
[03:52] <skimat> nope first step : second would be chmod +x driver.run && ./driver.run then i have to find out yet
[03:52] <sunshinepants> has anyone got a solution for keeping empathy logged into irc channels whether or not the window is kept open
[03:53] <bastidrazor> Mrpeepers310: you can stop X by sudo service gdm stop   .. and installing the driver from a TTY
[03:53] <sunshinepants> i like that about pidgin's implementation
[03:53] <zac_> Hi guys is there software that can rip from two cd roms at the same time?
[03:54] <hiexpo> zac_, i dont think so
[03:54] <zac_> hiexpo, Why not exactly?
[03:54] <sunshinepants> zac_:  not unless the software is written to allow multiple instances.  you can just use another user on your system and give them access to your X display..
[03:54] <minjoo> how to write this form? http://211.109.94.201/screenshot/2010-05-25-11-48-31.png
[03:55] <sunshinepants> zac_: using that method you can rip as many as you want until you're bottlenecked
[03:55] <zac_> sunshinepants, That sounds like it might take awhile to set up
[03:55] <skimat> what that be : $~ sudo service gdm stop
[03:56] <sunshinepants> zac_: you can do it with three or four lines in a terminal
[03:56] <skimat> so see you some time gone in tty
[03:56] <FluxD> Hi, can someone tell me the default image used by desktop cube for the top of the cube

[03:57] <bastidrazor> skimat: you're using gnome/Ubuntu?
[03:57] <skimat> should i go for the ./etc version *
[03:57] <skimat> lxde
[03:57] <Kull> FluxD: you didn't answer the question.  Which one?  Please be very specific and use full sentences.

[03:58] <FluxD> Kull, the location of the default image
[03:58] <Kull> bsbrom: I dont believe they are.
[03:58] <Xcell> maybe try ctl+aly+f4 ?

[03:58] <toolbear> hello.  i'm running two ubuntu (lucid, and in many ways identical) systems on the same computer.  on one of them, the nvidia graphics driver works.  on the other, it doesn't.  how could i begin to figure out the cause of this difference?
[03:59] <Kull> FluxD: I don't know, but I could seek the compiz folders in /usr/shar/ and /etc/
[03:59] <zac_> Also, why is it not possible for software to rip from two cd roms?
[03:59] <schultza> is Gnomenu in the repositories?
[03:59] <Kull> schultza: search them and find out?
[04:00] <Kull> schultza: apt-cache search gnomenu
[04:00] <schultza> Kull, thanks. it's not.
[04:00] <zac_> Also is there software than can try to find a songs name by listening to it if it is unknown?
[04:00] <hiexpo> bsbrom, i made my daughters work but i don't remember what ap i used i think it was gtkipod or something it was a pain but got it working great
[04:01] <skimat> bati : went for sudo service --status-all
[04:01] <bsbrom> Yeahhh... I have a video ipod now and it works great with ubuntu (and rockbox), but its basically dead
[04:02] <FluxD> Kull, okay
[04:02] <bastidrazor> skimat: you can tab complete my name.. it'll make it easier.. instead of gdm is lxde ? i don't know.

[04:12] <jimmyz80> You know, just an observation, I started using ubuntu because it seemed to make a lot of things "just work" on my laptop, but compared to other distros i've used for years, it seems, REALLY buggy
[04:13] <spinningcompass> jimmyz80: I concur, but it might be because the user base is growing in size. With that increase, comes an increase in the breadth of hardware to which Ubuntu is exposed on a large scale.
[04:13] <ikonia> jimmyz80: use whatever distro you feel meets your needs best
[04:13] <spinningcompass> jimmyz80: So, Ubuntu is a victim of its own success. More users = more hardware varieties = more bugs expose themselves.

[04:16] <Error404NotFound> bastidrazor, yup, bitten once and for last time...
[04:16] <spinningcompass> jimmyz80: Although I don't know your needs, I put it to you that you're better off w/ Ubuntu (for now) because it has one of the largest user bases, is one of the most user-friendly distros, and therefore will attract loads of newbies. Newcomers are painfully adept at discovering bugs.

[04:26] <spinningcompass> sweb:
[04:27] <spinningcompass> sweb: For example, to archive directory 'foo' but exclude 'foo/bar', you would use 'tar -c foo --exclude foo/bar > resulting-tarball.tar', I think.
[04:28] <spinningcompass> I urge you to consider using afio instead of tar, if you are permitted by circumstances.

[04:32] <scottplyr777> what is afio?
[04:32] <Yadda> nice one. XD
[04:33] <spinningcompass> scottplyr777: afio is a superior archiver. It's better than tar for technical reasons.
[04:33] <Toaday> I have 5 2TB drives setup in a RAID 6 using the latest stable version of MDADM. I would like to have 1 ~4TB and 1 ~2TB partition, but I am really having trouble figuring out how to partition this array. Can anyone help me?
[04:33] <scottplyr777> im new at this what would i do with it?
[04:33] <ikonia> Toaday: what's hard to understand ?
[04:33] <spinningcompass> scottplyr777: You can feed file lists straight from find to afio. Afio handles FIFOs & other non-standard filesystem entries much more elegantly and reliably than tar. Afio can also handle extended attributes more readily than tar.
[04:34] <scottplyr777> will it fix my vlc though?
[04:34] <spinningcompass> scottplyr777: Are you asking me about afio because you thought I was talking to you when I told Sweb to try afio? :)
[04:34] <jimmyz80> lol
[04:34] <Toaday> ikonia, It doesn't show up in Gparted, and when I try to use parted on the cl, it gives me warnings about resizing filesystems
[04:34] <scottplyr777> i guess
[04:34] <AchaBacha> Hi, can i only run ubuntu on my macbook I want to remove OSX from my macbook.
[04:34] <ikonia> Toaday: are any of the meta devices in use alread ?
[04:34] <Panda_Oli> $ ubuntuone-launch
[04:34] <Panda_Oli> ** Message: secret service operation failed: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files
[04:34] <Panda_Oli> anyone know what this means?
[04:34] <spinningcompass> AchaBacha: Ugh. Why would you do that? Mac OS X is... so beautiful... and shiny....
[04:35] <Toaday> I guess I just don't know enough to make it work. ikonia. I should add, I have valuable data on it currently
[04:35] <Toaday> ikonia, meta devices?
[04:35] <AchaBacha> Spinningcompass: I don't like it
[04:35] <ikonia> Toaday: yes, using mdadm creates a meta device (virtual disk)
[04:35] <spinningcompass> AchaBacha: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20live%20CD
[04:36] <sweb> spinningcompass, it's work :                tar --no-same-permissions --exclude "lib/*"  -cvzf my.tgz *
[04:36] <spinningcompass> sweb: Nice one.
[04:36] <Toaday> I'm not sure what you mean, ikonia. Is /dev/md0 a meta device?
[04:36] <ikonia> Toaday: correct
[04:36] <Yadda> okay, made the partitions with a gparted disk... booted into the liveCD and attempted to install... same problem. says it can't install GRUB to /dev/sda
[04:36] <Yadda> should I try /dev/sda1, or proceed without installing a bootloader and then do that in another live session
[04:36] <sweb> spinningcompass, thank for helping @}'-
[04:36] <spinningcompass> y/w :)
[04:36] <ikonia> Yadda: no
[04:36] <Yadda> ...no WHAT. :P
[04:36] <ikonia> Yadda: are you trying to install grub1 or grub2 ?
[04:37] <ikonia> Yadda: no don't install grub to /dev/sda1
[04:37] <Toaday> ikonia, I see that you're busy, but I think you've pointed me in the right direction. Thanks!
[04:37] <Yadda> the one that ubuntu lucid's liveCD defaults to.
[04:37] <ikonia> !grub2 | Yadda
[04:37] <ikonia> Yadda: that link has exact details of how to re-install grub
[04:38]  * spinningcompass grumbles
[04:38] <AchaBacha> spinningcompass: I have OSX tiger, which doesn't have bootcamp and the disk utility in OS tiger won't let me partition my hard disk for some reason. I like to install Linux mint on my mac.
[04:38] <netbook> Hi, I can connect to a samba share in my domain, but not over the wider internet
[04:39] <xangua> !mint | AchaBacha
[04:39] <AchaBacha> spinningcompass: My main question was that once i install linux on my mac. Will i be able to remove OSX from the macbook?
[04:39] <AchaBacha> alright lets say ubuntu .
[04:40] <ikonia> AchaBacha: no - let not
[04:40] <ikonia> AchaBacha: use the mint support resources
[04:40] <Yadda> so I just install w/o bootloader then, and install grub2 after.
[04:40] <ElTimo> is anyone having an issue where rhythmbox and/or banshee logs duplicates and sometimes triplicates of only SOME songs?
[04:40] <Sasquatch7> I'm trying to setup an alias in .bashrc, i want to alias this entire line 'gcc -Wall -std=c99', but i can't seem to do it. Any help?
[04:40] <skimat> bastidrazor: sudo service --status-all made me find that graphic managers was lxdm ; found after , during installation that my gcc version was not same as the one used to compile kernel or something like that, i went for nvidia-96 from synaptic ; will try that out ; thx 4 the service ::o
[04:40] <ikonia> Yadda: that link tells you how to install the boot loader, exactly
[04:40] <Yadda> right?
[04:40] <Yadda> .okay then
[04:40] <ikonia> skimat: what alias command are you using
[04:41] <Sasquatch7> alias blah blah = 'compile'
[04:41] <skimat> what was that ?  i don't get it
[04:41] <ikonia> skimat: wrong way around
[04:41] <ikonia> oops
[04:41] <ikonia> Sasquatch7: wrong way around
[04:41] <magn3ts> sigh, did any other MBP users have their audio break over the last few days?
[04:41] <ikonia> Sasquatch7: alias compile ='gcc blah blah'
[04:42] <ikonia> Sasquatch7: compile='gcc blah blah'
[04:42] <Sasquatch7> ikonia: oh duh!

[04:42] <Tac_Home> anyone have tips, or a link, on better battery life for netbook remix?  Using linux over windows is lowering my available battery by almost half...
[04:42] <ikonia> skimat: why are you doing that ?
[04:43] <kjbbb> hi does anyone know what is up with the transmission-daemon package?
[04:43] <voss749> tac, what netbook are you using?
[04:44] <magn3ts> Has anyone experienced this bug coming back all of the suddne? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/437150
[04:44] <Yadda> well, I clicked install w/o a bootloader, and it said the installer has encountered an unrecoverable error
[04:44] <skimat> ikonia: i didn't know which driver to choose nvidia-common || nouveau || nvidia-current so went on nvidia.com
[04:44] <Yadda> I'm starting to get tired of this.
[04:44] <ikonia> skimat: do not do that
[04:44] <skimat> ikonia: do what
[04:45] <ikonia> skimat: use the driver offered in the hardware drivers gui
[04:45] <Rodensky> short one: ubuntu 9.04: what is the command for the bluetooth file sharing?
[04:45] <ikonia> skimat: use the drivers from nvidia.com
[04:45] <voss749> skimat, which nvidia do you have?
[04:45] <ikonia> Rodensky: there is no one command for that - it has to be setup
[04:45] <skimat> ikonia: geforce 3 ti 200
[04:45] <ikonia> skimat: use the drivers offered in the hardware drivers gui
[04:45] <Tac_Home> voss749, aspire one
[04:46] <magn3ts> what is a package mean if it ends in -preempt?
[04:46] <magn3ts> Does anyone know why my headphone jack would stop working all of the sudden?
[04:46] <Rodensky> ikonia - i installed it via add/remove. before i formatted my laptop, "bluetooth file sharing" appeared on my accessories menu and i could start it. now it's gone. so what's the command?
[04:46] <skimat> ikonia: there were none in there (on Lubuntu ) so added one from synaptic (going from nvidia.com failed for me) then it appeared in hardware drivers
[04:46] <ikonia> Rodensky: there is a command, it needs to be setup
[04:47] <voss749> skimat, go to synaptic and get the 96 drivers
[04:47] <Rodensky> ikonia - before i fomatted i could start it with a command, it is an app
[04:47] <ElTimo> anyone?
[04:47] <onlygaryd> yadda....try it...can't hurt
[04:47] <ikonia> Rodensky: yes, but the right packages (and therefore environment) has to be installed
[04:48] <ikonia> Rodensky: look at the blue-utilz package
[04:48] <Poseidon_99> hey every body ..
[04:48] <mtx_init> Does anybody know why kdevelop is not in the repos?
[04:48] <Rodensky> ikonia - it is installed - i just need the command
[04:48] <Poseidon_99> how to find if my ram is corrupt
[04:48] <magn3ts> also, why can I install linux-backports-modules-asla-2.6.32-22 and -21 at the same time?
[04:48] <voss749> skimat, the nvidia-96 package
[04:48] <onlygaryd> sorry...was stuck way up there ^
[04:48] <skimat> voss749: yep done that it's fine have to try it with some flash or ...   (is there only one flash plugin ?)
[04:48] <ikonia> Rodensky: it should be on the menu if the right packages are installed
[04:48] <voss749> skimat, adobe-flashplugin
[04:49] <Rodensky> ikonia - its not on the accessories menu, i don't know why, but it is installed
[04:49] <onlygaryd> yadda...you still here?
[04:49]  * magn3ts cries to himself
[04:49] <ikonia> Rodensky: then the right packages are not installed
[04:49] <skimat> is there a non-adobe-flashplugin by guess ?
[04:49] <ikonia> skimat: gnash, but it's poor
[04:49] <magn3ts> what is a package mean if it ends in -preempt?
[04:50] <Rodensky> ikonia - for some reason not all installed programs appeared on the main manu although they were installed.
[04:50] <ikonia> magn3ts: pre-emption
[04:50] <Rodensky> it is installed, i just need the command
[04:50] <skimat> Yadda: in terminal : $~ badblocks /dev/sdyourdisk
[04:50] <ikonia> Rodensky: how do you know you have the right package installed
[04:50] <magn3ts> ikonia, do I want it?
[04:50] <Poseidon_99> i ve got new 2gb ram stick and 1gb old one ! and my computer stucks after sometime and i believe that this is ram problem .. so how would i find which one is giving problem ?
[04:50] <ikonia> magn3ts: what is the package
[04:50] <Rodensky> ikonia - i checked in synaptic
[04:50] <magn3ts> any of them? the kernel... I'm fighting with alsa right now. my headphone out just stopped working
[04:50] <interrupt> how do i enable apache webserver?
[04:51] <ikonia> Rodensky: how do you know the command is in that package
[04:51] <interrupt> sorry for such a lame question
[04:51] <voss749> poseidon, pull the 1gb one, if the computer doesnt freeze up then youre good
[04:51] <magn3ts> Also, why can I install two versions of the same backport kernel modules?
[04:51] <skimat> synaptic could show alternatives to packages
[04:51] <ikonia> magn3ts: I doubt you'd need a pre-emptive kernel
[04:51] <magn3ts> ikonia, ok
[04:51] <Poseidon_99> voss749: i ve done that. i m running on my old 1gb ram and its workin fine
[04:52] <voss749> poseidon what type of motherboard?
[04:52] <Rodensky> listen, ppl, i know for fact that it is installed along side with many other programs that i installed, all of which did not appear in the main menu untill i put them there, so please just give me the command....
[04:52] <Poseidon_99> but how to know that the 2gb is corrupt or not
[04:52] <skimat> Yadda: what is the output of this cmd ?
[04:52] <interrupt> in 9.10 is apache webserver enabled by default?
[04:52] <sweb> in bash '    Name=$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S) + '.dat';        echo $Name;    '  not work
[04:52] <skimat> voss749, ikonia : thx
[04:53] <Flannel> interrupt: If you install apache2, then you'll have apache2, but no, it's not installed by default.
[04:53] <mtx_init> Does anybody know why kdevelop is not in the repos?
[04:53] <interrupt> ahhh
[04:53] <interrupt> thanks Flannel

[05:05] <magn3ts_> Loshki, lucid

[05:06] <magn3ts_> I have not installed anything besides updates
[05:06] <MACscr> ok, im having weird issues with videos. In the default media player for ubuntu, things are being running in some sort of 2x type speed, maybe faster. There is also no volume. In VLC, the speeds seem ok, but their is still no volume. I have no volume issues with youtube though
[05:06] <magn3ts_> I had to patch alsa in karmic, was told it was fixed in lucid, then bam
[05:06] <abstrakt> when i go to export a movie in openshot i get error not found libmp3lame and libx264
[05:06] <abstrakt> but both are installed so says synaptic
[05:07] <Poseidon_99> how to know my ram ??
[05:07] <magn3ts_> Loshki, I'm going to try something but I'm on IRC on my phone while I reboot.
[05:07] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[05:07] <Loshki> magn3ts_: not sure I can help. Most audio problems are day one issues. I had good luck with 10.04 sound by following the 'nosound' link in this article: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/937-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-1004-lts-lucid-lynx (see 'nosound' in the 2nd paragraph)
[05:07] <soreau> ! hi | raddy
[05:07] <abstrakt> also, when i select flv as the "format" the only option i have for "codec" is h263 not h264
[05:07] <abstrakt> what's up with that?
[05:07] <raddy> How to configure empathy to open new chat window instead of showing notifications in the system tray.
[05:08] <raddy> the notifications are very simple and difficult to notice if buddy list is not open.

[05:09] <magn3ts> Empathy is a piece of trash raddy, I recommend pidgin
[05:09] <magn3ts> Gnomes own design docs encourage aginst the terrible ux choices that empathy developers have made
[05:09] <Loshki> abstrakt: I'd never even heard of openshot. Have you tried their forums?
[05:09] <schultza> I'm having problems with conky. This is what I get just short of installing it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/439181/
[05:09] <toffee> Empathy is still developing
[05:10] <raddy> magn3ts : is very very usable.
[05:11] <raddy> magn3ts: I like the conversation styles too is very nice.
[05:11] <magn3ts> What is? Pidgin, it is. Empathy is awful and it being under development is just another reason it doesn't belong in an LTE release.
[05:12] <raddy> magn3ts: please tell me couple of reasons for your displeasure.
[05:12] <ikonia> no
[05:12] <greezmunkey> *Question* I am experimenting with setting up a pppoe server, and have compiled and installed rp-pppoe. Here is a quote from the pppoe-server(componant) man page: pppoe-server is a user-space server for PPPoE. My question is...what does "user-space" really mean?
[05:12] <ikonia> this is ubuntu support, take the empathy discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:12] <abuayyoub> Hello, I was hoping someone could help me. I need a simple volume control applet. Where can I find one or how can I make one?
[05:13] <schultza> !conky
[05:13] <dfcnvt1> I think user-space just means running on user's server. Not on official server somewhere else.
[05:13] <ikonia> no it doesn't
[05:14] <ikonia> userspace means in memory resources allocated to the user, rather than the overall gobal system resources
[05:14] <Jordan_U> AKA, kernelspace
[05:14] <actionParsnip> yo yo yo
[05:15] <dfcnvt1> oh, I guess kernelspace is alot of sense.
[05:15] <IdeAlEss> I am trying to upgrade to 10.4 from lynx and it is telling me that gnome-desktop is blacklisted?  How do I resolve this?
[05:15] <schultza> How do I fix conky or whatever else that is broken? http://paste.ubuntu.com/439181/
[05:15] <greezmunkey> ikonia: I googled user space, user-space and it seems to be a ubicuous term, and therefore is not defined clearly, but that definition actually makes sense.
[05:15] <IdeAlEss> sorry from karmic
[05:15] <IdeAlEss> I am trying to upgrade to 10.4 from karmic and it is telling me that gnome-desktop is blacklisted?  How do I resolve this?
[05:16] <sathya_> any body having problem with gwibber on lucid ?? am not able to see the place where i am supposed to type of my tweets in the ui
[05:16] <bastidrazor> schultza: you need to tell conky what config file to use. normally you would make one.
[05:16] <schultza> IdeAlEss: you might want to backup your data and install 10.04 from scratch.
[05:17] <schultza> ah, ok
[05:17] <greezmunkey> ikonia: so the next question naturally is, what is there to keep such a program from being employed at a "global" layer as you've described?
[05:17] <IdeAlEss> schultza, please don't say that.  I switched to Ubuntu so things would get easier.
[05:17] <abuayyoub> Hello, I was hoping someone could help me. I need a simple volume control applet. Where can I find one or how can I make one?
[05:17] <ikonia> greezmunkey: programs are designed to run in a specific space, or the user execution defines it's palce
[05:18] <xangua> abuayyoub: add the indicator applet to the panel
[05:18] <undecim> abuayyoub: Like a tray applet or a window?
[05:18] <schultza> bastidrazor: still getting the same message.
[05:18] <schultza> IdeAlEss: have you tried running another sudo apt-get update ?
[05:18] <abuayyoub> Xangua, Udecim The idea is I want to get rid of the indicator applet and just have a single volume applet.
[05:19] <xangua> sathya_: just grab the text box
[05:19] <schultza> IdeAlEss: then trying the system upgrade procedure again
[05:19] <undecim> abuayyoub: gnome-volume-control-applet
[05:19] <bastidrazor> schultza: then your config file is borked. you called it by 'conky -c /path/to/file.conkyrc' right?
[05:19] <IdeAlEss> schultza, yes, I just did an update of the critical items.  I didn't do a full update because I didn't want to take the time to download the kernel and java.
[05:19] <greezmunkey> ikonia: so, if I understand you, since what I really want is a pppoe service/daemon then what I have now will not work?
[05:19] <schultza> conky -c ~/.conkyrc
[05:19] <IdeAlEss> schultza, I did.  same error.  The upgrade karmic update ran fine though
[05:20] <schultza> I've had an empty file and with something in it.
[05:20] <ikonia> greezmunkey: depends, if that process is to be shared by multiple people, no, if that process is to be launched by multiple people, yes
[05:20] <bastidrazor> schultza: that is not a valid file.
[05:20] <ikonia> greezmunkey: (at a very high level)
[05:20] <greezmunkey> ikonia: ok, I get it. What I am really searching for is a pppoe server *daemon*
[05:21] <ikonia> greezmunkey: probably a better description
[05:21] <greezmunkey> ikonia: thank you for clarifying that for me :)
[05:21] <schultza> bastidrazor: this is the current file now. http://paste.ubuntu.com/439185/
[05:22] <bastidrazor> schultza: no, you need a TEXT section and things under TEXT telling conky what to display
[05:22] <greezmunkey> ikonia: I just realized, if "user-space" is user space, what is the rest of the "space" called!?!
[05:22] <Yadda> ugh... gotta go to bed. I'll get back to trying to get this to work tomorrow, and if I'm still having problems, well, yeah. seeya in a day, I guess.
[05:23] <schultza> bastidrazor: ok, i will continue looking.
[05:23] <bastidrazor> schultza: http://pastebin.com/cXZq3JFS   this is my current conkyrc file
[05:23] <schultza> bastidrazor: i will try it.
[05:24] <coldboot|home> How do you get your volume control back in Ubuntu 10.04? I added the indicator applet, but it just has a stupid envelope icon with no way to configure it. I'm using Alsa.
[05:24] <MyWay> hello, how can i sync a folder which isn't in documents, with ubuntu one? (i'm using 10.04)
[05:24] <schultza> bastidrazor: thanks. it worked.
[05:24] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: gnome-volume something, try typing that into an alt+f2 box, see if it completes
[05:25] <coldboot|home> actionParsnip: Yeah, so how do you get that on Gnome Panel?
[05:25] <greezmunkey> ikonia: hey! check this out: The -F option causes pppoe-server not to fork and become a daemon. The default is to fork and become a daemon.
[05:25] <bastidrazor> schultza: http://conky.sourceforge.net/documentation.html  and view the variables and config file settings pages to tweak it to your needs.
[05:25] <schultza> bastidrazor, thanks. ill take a look
[05:26] <undecim> coldboot|home: The only way I've found to change volume in 10.04 without pulse is to use alsamixer from the terminal
[05:26] <greezmunkey> ikonia: forking pppoe server...
[05:26] <schultza> IdeAlEss, what is the exact error you are getting. Please use http://paste.ubuntu.com
[05:26] <coldboot|home> Someone is gravely retarded for regressing volume control in Ubuntu.
[05:26] <egaudet> How do I disable the annoying bass sound when backspacing too far in xterm/xchat
[05:26] <bastidrazor> schultza: i spent an hour or so setting things the way i wanted. it can be fun.
[05:26] <undecim> coldboot|home: You could set up some hotkeys to change the volume maybe, or install a package from debian, though I haven't looked into it much
[05:26] <coldboot|home> I've been using Linux for 10 years and nobody's ever fixed this stupidity.
[05:27] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: when you run it, it should run in the ntification area afaik
[05:27] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: you may have to manually make a startup item to run it
[05:27] <abuayyoub> undecim, this is great, how can I get this to stay as default on my panel? I tried adding as a custom application lanucher but it dosent work like it hsould.
[05:28] <coldboot|home> actionParsnip: Doesn't work, probably a problem with Alsa as my volume control and volume settings didn't work before, either.
[05:28] <undecim> abuayyoub: Add it to your startup applications

[05:28] <Gods-WilL> Hello?

[05:29] <undecim> coldboot|home: If you have AWN, you can add the volume applet there.
[05:29] <coldboot|home> I always uninstall Pulse because it's broken. It makes my speakers pop constantly, I have no idea why they keep force installing it every now and then.
[05:29] <coldboot|home> undecim: I don't use whatever AWN is.
[05:29] <greezmunkey> well anyway ikonia, thanks for your help :)
[05:29] <Gods-WilL> Can I get help :o
[05:29] <coldboot|home> Pulse didn't even used to work at all.

[05:31] <bastidrazor> schultza: speed?
[05:31] <actionParsnip> undecim: i see, ive never had a sound issue in all my years of linux so this is all alien to me, the default sound system in each distro has always worked perfectly as I use super compatible cards and especially avoid crappy creative things
[05:31] <Gods-WilL> Sorry ubottu >.>
[05:31] <schultza> bastidrazor, yes. under wifi.
[05:31] <googol> I click the add panel tool bar on one of my tool bars, and now I have a invisible panel on one side that I can not click and remove and can not add anything to, it is just preventing my windows from maximizing
[05:31] <coldboot|home> actionParsnip: Thanks! Holy shit why isn't this just in there by default?
[05:31] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: AWN is a mac like dock for launching and managing running apps
[05:32] <undecim> Gods-WilL: What exactly do you need help with?
[05:32] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: why isn't what there?
[05:32] <coldboot|home> actionParsnip: Ah, I don't need another one of those.
[05:32] <jzacsh> impossilble?.. i just ran a back up.. had plenty of space on disk. back up destination was /media/brijump (a terrabyte drive) -- i come back to find the backup process is defunct and ubuntu is telling me i'm out of disk space. there's no back up in the destination directory -- but / is 100% capacity

[05:32] <schultza> IdeAlEss, what does "cat /etc/issue" say?
[05:32] <coldboot|home> actionParsnip: If the stupid indicator applet thing isn't going to automatically populate a volume control, they should stick with gnome-volume-control-applet.
[05:32] <bastidrazor> schultza: oh, it is how fast your connected.. 54MB/s .. you'll need to tweak it to make it work for you. the variables page has a list of things you can choose from.
[05:32] <coldboot|home> IdleOne: I'll try to save the children.
[05:33] <undecim> coldboot|home: Wait, gnome-volume-control-applet worked for you with Alsa?
[05:33] <IdleOne> coldboot|home: thank you
[05:33] <actionParsnip> coldboot|home: i guess, i've never had it vanish personally but i dont mess with my sound subsystems at all

[05:37] <IdleOne> abuayyoub: yes the channel is correct. how much it is used I don't know
[05:38] <schultza> IdeAlEss, Did you remove all third parties from your sources.list?
[05:38] <googol> Can someone help me get rit of some panels that I can't get to go away
[05:38] <mixxit> hey all trying to install ubuntu from windows here and i have unetbootin on my grub list but am unsure how to create an ext2/3 partition from windows
[05:38] <abuayyoub> abstrakt, I dont nee it someone else was here looking to ask a question in Arabic but seems like that room is completely empty
[05:38] <schultza> IdeAlEss, main.log is the main file i'm concerned about
[05:38] <abstrakt> abuayyoub, bummer for that dude then

[05:39] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Can you explain what you mean by "i have unetbootin on my grub list" ?
[05:39] <mixxit> unetbootin setup grub on my windows bootloader
[05:40] <mixxit> and it goes to instlal but cant find an ext partition to use
[05:40] <mixxit> so wondered how i could make from within win32?
[05:40] <abuayyoub> IdleOne, abstrakt, lol I will try but My arabic isn't good enough to help him with some deep technical questions any other place I can send him?
[05:40] <Claudiomf1> Alguem pode ajudar?
[05:41] <undecim> mixxit: As far as I've tried, I've been unsuccessful in installing Ubuntu from windows without some piece of external media
[05:41] <Claudiomf1> oi
[05:41] <mixxit> that's a prob there is no cd drive or usb boot from bios!
[05:41] <xangua> !pt | Claudiomf1
[05:41] <undecim> mixxit: Unless you have two hard drives, because the installer refuses to install to the same disk it's running from.
[05:41] <actionParsnip> mixxit: you can get floppy images to boot usb devices on pendrivelinux
[05:42] <mixxit> i have no floppy disks!
[05:42] <actionParsnip> grab some then
[05:42] <mixxit> it's a laptop and i have no small lappies hard disk either
[05:42] <mixxit> that's impossible for me
[05:42] <Claudiomf1> ok..
[05:42] <undecim> mixxit: Do you have any kind of external media you can boot? Maybe a network boot, if you have a server you can use
[05:42] <mixxit> can i make a partition from grub?
[05:43] <undecim> mixxit: no, grub won't do that AFAIK
[05:43] <schultza> IdeAlEss, DEBUG metapkg 'ubuntu-desktop' installed but markedDelete. Sounds like you uninstalled ubuntu and installed xubuntu... is this correct?
[05:43] <abuayyoub> IdleOne,  I would like to help him, Arab countries have something like 99,95% Windows usage so it's nice to help them
[05:43] <coldboot|home> gnome-volume-control-applet does not work with Alsa alone...
[05:43] <undecim> mixxit: Do you have another computer that you can put your hard drive in?
[05:43] <skimat> how do i explore computers on the lan
[05:43] <coldboot|home> So I reinstalled pulse, maybe it won't be crap some day.
[05:43] <mixxit> that is a very good point undecim
[05:43] <ejv> skimat: nmap
[05:43] <mixxit> i have another lappy i could probably boot from usb on!
[05:44] <mixxit> thanks!
[05:44] <IdeAlEss> schultza, I installed xubuntu a while back, but have since switched back to ubuntu.  I check the gnome-desktop file in the package-manager and it is not marked for deletion there.
[05:44] <abuayyoub> Anyone here have any ideas about  Suspend/Hibernate problems with laptops??
[05:44] <schultza> IdeAlEss, have you done a normal update right before the dist-update?
[05:44] <julian_> I'm so psyched.  I installed ubuntu successfully on my mac!  I'm unable to install nethack though.
[05:44] <actionParsnip> mixxit: you could take out the drive, put it in another PC, install  to it then transfer the install back to the original system
[05:45] <ejv> my ubuntu laptop crashes from time to time, awesome QA ubuntu devs!
[05:45] <ejv> </3
[05:45] <IdeAlEss> schultza, I am finishing it right now.  But yes, I have done many normal updates over the last week.  I use FF nightlies.
[05:46] <actionParsnip> ejv: whats QA?
[05:46] <tripelb> Here's my problem: computer keeps freezing. Then, the horror, it did it while booted to the livecd. I ran memtest. Came back 5 hours later to find it frozen again. Results: 2 errors, walltime under an hour. I copied down everything on the screen. Can anyone help me? Is this computer for the trashheap?
[05:47] <schultza> how are you doing the dist-update?
[05:47] <onetinsoldier> hello all. not long ago i had something very bad happen that caused me to have to reinstall Ubuntu. though it might have been something i did wrong. wel, now, i've done it again, but this time i know how to reproduce the problem. seems like a serious bug to me. atm, i'm looking at having to reinstall. it'll take a bit to explain
[05:47] <onetinsoldier> though = thought*
[05:47] <ejv> actionParsnip: quality assurance
[05:47] <schultza> IdeAlEss, how are you doing the dist-update?
[05:48] <actionParsnip> ejv: i suggest you read your EULA
[05:48] <mint> hello can someone help me install clearlooks theme... i have downloaded it but it doesnt seem to install correctly
[05:48] <IdeAlEss> schultza, through the update manager.
[05:48] <ejv> who has time for that actionParsnip ?
[05:48] <ejv> -_-
[05:48] <actionParsnip> ejv: it will make what you are saying be clearly moot
[05:49] <actionParsnip> ejv: and if you don't like it, don't use it
[05:49] <ejv> im just grumpy, i was working on something, then ZAP! crash... *facepalm*
[05:49] <ejv> oh i like it, but if this is LTS stability... then... *cringe*
[05:49] <schultza> IdeAlEss, after the update. I want you to go back through Software Sources. Click Other Software and disable all those. then try the following command in terminal. > gksudo "update-manager -c"
[05:49] <bluelf> is there a virtual keyboard on ubuntu
[05:50] <actionParsnip> ejv: if karmic was ok then use that, its supported well into next year
[05:50] <onetinsoldier> this is not easy for me to explain. i had to reinstall the other day. thought it might have been something i did wrong, but i believe i just reproduced the bug and don't feel it was my fault. i can't log into gdm, just like the other day. i will attempt to explain
[05:50] <Gump> anyone having problems with fglrx after the update to 10.04?
[05:50] <abuayyoub> Anyone here have any ideas about  Suspend/Hibernate problems with laptops??
[05:50] <schultza> IdeAlEss, when i mean disable, i mean uncheck.
[05:50] <ejv> dont do it abuayyoub ;)
[05:50] <actionParsnip> bluelf: sure, theres one as part of the default install. try: dpkg -l | grep keyboard
[05:50] <undecim> abuayyoub: What is your problem?
[05:51] <IdeAlEss> schultza, I have already disable the other software sources.  I also just used the package manager to "reinstall" gnome-desktop.  As I was typing this the update calculation just completed
[05:51] <IdeAlEss> schultza, it looks like the mare for re-installation and applying it solved whatever bit had gotten flipped.
[05:52] <abuayyoub> undecim, whenever I try to use suspend of hibernate the compute never wakes up. Sometimes it works but it takes a good 10 minutes to recover. Othertimes It just locks up and I have to hard reboot.
[05:52] <schultza> IdeAlEss, hang on. I just found an old bug with both ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop installed at the same time causing this. You said you were no longer using xubuntu-desktop. If no one else on that computer is using xubuntu-desktop. Uninstall that first and then try again.
[05:52] <Gump> ever since i updated to 10.04LTS, my graphics card driver stopped working. it won't install and it won't install. seems to be a problem with dpkg
[05:52] <IdeAlEss> schultza, will do.  That was next on my list.  Thanks for the help!!!
[05:52] <Gump> is there any way i can completely reinstall dpkg?
[05:52] <undecim> abuayyoub: Did you take a look at the system logs to see if there is anything of interest?
[05:52] <schultza> IdeAlEss, good luck with the update... but keep in mind to uninstall xubuntu-desktop next time around
[05:52] <mixxit> sigh
[05:53] <mixxit> a thousand screws later and the disk is sata
[05:53] <mixxit> not ide
[05:53] <IdeAlEss> schultza, I will.  thanks!
[05:53] <mixxit> so this wont work!
[05:53] <Jordan_U> tripelb: If it's always getting errors in the same spots, and not getting worse, you can tell the kernel not to use those blocks of memory with badram
[05:53] <schultza> IdeAlEss, you're welcome.
[05:53] <abuayyoub> undecim, no, i didn't. How would I go about doing that?
[05:53] <Salvad1> Hello. Do all deb packages installs/uninstalls get logged?
[05:53] <onetinsoldier> I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch
[05:53] <onetinsoldier> even after rebooting
[05:53] <Gump> trying to install fglrx, i get this error: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1"
[05:54] <bluelf> actionParsnip, where do i find it??
[05:54] <undecim> abuayyoub: run "tail -n 15 /var/log/syslog.1" after suspend/hibernate.
[05:54] <onetinsoldier> the error messages are logged in my /var/log/syslog file
[05:54] <actionParsnip> bluelf: run the command and you will get a package name, run that in an alt+f2 dialogue and it will run
[05:54] <bluelf> actionParsnip, tried it not working
[05:55] <undecim> mixxit: well, if memory serves me well, laptop sata drives and desktop sata drives have the same connectors. If you have a desktop with sata, that might work
[05:55] <BooVeMan> mixxit: wubi ?
[05:55] <mixxit> it's the other way around
[05:55] <mixxit> im installing to an ide
[05:55] <mixxit> its an old laptop
[05:55] <Gump> if i go into the diversions file and delete all entries related to fglrx, and then try to install it, it returns error exit status 2
[05:55] <tripelb> Jordan_U: so I should do the memtest again then? It got 2 errors in different spots. I heard the memtest should run for hours.
[05:55] <mixxit> tried wubi but not enough memory to do the intall boove
[05:56] <mixxit> need to create an ext partition from windows or grub somehow
[05:56] <BooVeMan> mixxit: have you tried using wubi ?
[05:56] <mixxit> or tell grub to boot from a fat partition
[05:56] <actionParsnip> !info onboard | bluelf
[05:56] <mixxit> i have :)
[05:56] <IdleOne> Salvad1: in /var/log/dpkg.log I believe is the right file
[05:56] <Gump> ...has no one else had a problem with their ATI graphics cards after the update to 10.04??
[05:56] <undecim> mixxit: Wait, you said you had grub installed on this thing?
[05:56] <mixxit> sure do
[05:56] <BooVeMan> mixxit: sohow much memory has it in the first place?
[05:56] <undecim> mixxit: can you make a bootable USB on another computer?
[05:56] <mixxit> 128!
[05:56] <Salvad1> Thank You.
[05:56] <Loshki> tripelb: I like to run memtest overnight. If you bought the ram separately, it often comes with a lifetime warranty...
[05:57] <IdleOne> Gump: I am sure someone else has. ask your next question, the one you really need answered :)
[05:57] <abuayyoub> undecim, http://paste.ubuntu.com/439202/
[05:57] <mutk> Loshki, I always wonder who's lifetime they are talking about there..
[05:57] <Loshki> mutk: no kidding :-)
[05:57] <bluelf> actionParsnip, hey i got it but it doesnot has a scroll lock which is why i require a virtual keyboard as my keyboard doesnot have a scroll lock and i need it for a appllication
[05:58] <BooVeMan> mixxit: when you have a grub there - is that a grub or a grub2?
[05:58] <Gump> IdleOne: i already have. today, yesterday, the day before that. no one seems to know
[05:58] <mixxit> i have no clue i think its grub
[05:58] <undecim> abuayyoub: That was a successful resume, assume?
[05:58] <actionParsnip> !info boa | bluelf
[05:58] <mutk> Loshki, Like 'Soorry my dog died last week so we cannot honour that warranty'
[05:58] <Gump> well...no one answers anyway
[05:58] <actionParsnip> oops
[05:58] <mutk> Loshki, Anyway, back on topic..
[05:58] <IdleOne> Gump: ok. ask it again. be patient and you can search the ubuntu forums also while you wait
[05:59] <actionParsnip> !info gok | bluelf
[05:59] <abuayyoub> undecim, yes. an unsuccessful one I couldn;t get a report for because I have to hard reboot
[05:59] <Gump> i have been, but ok, thanks
[05:59] <BooVeMan> mixxit: you are aware that you may mount a iso disk image using grub - so the gparted live disk may be mountable
[05:59] <mixxit> an iso disk on a fat drive?
[05:59] <mixxit> partition*
[05:59] <undecim> abuayyoub: Run that command after a hard reboot. The .1 should be one boot behind
[06:00] <undecim> BooVeMan: mixxit: Grub can mount isos, but not boot them.
[06:00] <undecim> mixxit: If you have grub on the disk, you can just make a bootable usb and chainload it from grub.
[06:00] <maelaian> Towel Day in 2 hours!
[06:00] <mixxit> i have a bootable usb right here
[06:00] <hter> me oo
[06:00] <mixxit> lemme fire it up
[06:01] <BooVeMan> undecim: that depends if its some version of grub4dos it can at least chainload the mounted disk
[06:01] <Problem> Well, the ICEauthority error only occurs on this computer. If I take my flash drive to my netbook, there is no error and I can run this OS perfectly.
[06:01] <undecim> BooVeMan: True, but even then, the iso has to be unfragmented on disk.
[06:01] <mixxit> ok usb disk is in and im in grub console
[06:02] <Gump> fglrx-amdcccle is showing up in my package manager as a broken package. when i try to uninstall/reinstall/update it, i get this message: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1". any suggestions on what to try next?
[06:02] <undecim> mixxit: Do you know which version of grub this is? how did it get installed?
[06:03] <mixxit> grub verison 0.95
[06:03] <mixxit> i used the win grub gui tool
[06:03] <mixxit> it installed it to boot.ini
[06:03] <undecim> mixxit: okay, was the USB in when you first turned on the computer? if not, reboot.
[06:04] <Gump> also, unrelated issue as no one seems to know about the other. ever since i updated to ubuntu 10.04, my windows vista install on a different partition on the same disk will no longer boot. it just goes from GRUB to a black screen with a blinking white cursor and stays there
[06:04] <mixxit> ok booted again usb was in from the start
[06:04] <tucemiux> Gump, update grub
[06:04] <Gump> tucemiux: how?
[06:05] <tucemiux> Gump, sudo update-grub
[06:05] <Gump> thanks! i will try it
[06:05] <undecim> mixxit: Alight... been a while since I used Grub 0, but I think "ls" will list drives
[06:05] <Loshki> Gump: sounds like you should consider downgrading....
[06:05] <mixxit> unrecognised command
[06:05] <undecim> mixxit: brb, google
[06:05] <onetinsoldier> even after rebooting
[06:06] <Gump> Loshki: downgrading back to the old version of ubuntu?
[06:06] <undecim> mixxit: Does pressing tab twice do anything?
[06:06] <Loshki> Gump: yup, the one that worked for you...
[06:06] <mixxit> when i press it once i get a list of commands
[06:06] <mixxit> same twice
[06:06] <bluelf> actionParsnip,thanks,   installing gok
[06:06] <Gump> i might do that. how would i go about downgrading?
[06:06] <onetinsoldier> I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch

[06:07] <onetinsoldier> Preparing pcm playback
[06:07] <mixxit> returned (hd0,0)
[06:07] <mixxit> not listing my usb i see
[06:07] <Loshki> Gump: if you didn't make a backup before your upgrade, then the best you can do is install an earlier version from scratch...
[06:07] <undecim> mixxit: try find /syslinux
[06:07] <actionParsnip> bluelf: try: apt-cache search board | grep screen      should give a few options
[06:07] <Loshki> mixxit: that would be a (the) problem...
[06:07] <mixxit> file not found
[06:07] <WXZ> is there a way to change the tomboy icon on the panel
[06:07] <undecim> mixxit: Or any file you know is on the thumb drive.
[06:07] <WXZ> there's no "properties" option for it
[06:08] <Gump> Loshki: ok, thanks. i'm gonna try and salvage this first, but i guess i mgiht have to do that

[06:08] <onetinsoldier> hmmm, not used to irssi here
[06:08] <mixxit> file not found
[06:08] <Loshki> mixxit: are you sure your mobo supports boot from usb?
[06:08] <mixxit> no it definately doesnt
[06:09] <undecim> Loshki: mixxit: using grub to chainload should work around that. But now I don't think that the mobo supports reading from USB with the capabilities that grub has
[06:09] <mixxit> could i do something with the one on hd0,0?
[06:09] <undecim> mixxit: Just try "rootnoverify (hd1,0)" and see if that works

[06:09] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  - need your help
[06:09] <mixxit> boot?
[06:10] <undecim> mixxit: no, not yet
[06:10] <undecim> mixxit: now "chainloader +1" then "makeactive" then "boot"
[06:10] <undecim> mixxit: And you should start booting the USB. Make sure to choose the install option, not the try, because you probably don't have enough ram without a swap partition
[06:11] <IdleOne> hiexpo: with?
[06:11] <mixxit> my screen just went black
[06:11] <mixxit> eek
[06:11] <undecim> mixxit: Doh... I think I just gave you bad instructions... that rootnoverify line should have been (hd1), not (hd1,0).
[06:12] <undecim> reboot and try again
[06:12] <tripelb> Jordan_U: Thanks I'll do it again. How long should it run?
[06:12] <mixxit> its booting but the screen is black
[06:12] <mixxit> oh there we go
[06:12] <undecim> mixxit: If it seems to be loading Ubuntu, then it worked.
[06:12] <undecim> (hd1) is the MBR which I should have said, but (hd1,0) might boot as well
[06:12] <mixxit> when i do chainloader +1 it says the selected disk does not exist
[06:13] <onetinsoldier> I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch
[06:13] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  - awhile back i got suspended from unumtu forumsfor posting a fix for youtube-dl when it was broken and i never understood why because its in the repos so didn't make anysence no i cant log into to some things i need to do there  can you help me fix that or is that outta your league ?
[06:13] <undecim> mixxit: Well, try each of those commands again after running rootnoverify (hd1) and try again.
[06:13] <mixxit> i did it with hd1 this time yep
[06:13] <undecim> mixxit: If that doesn't work, then grub can't read USB on your mobo
[06:13] <mixxit> thats what gave me he messsage
[06:13] <onetinsoldier> ctxfi: Preparing pcm playback failed!!! PLL initilization failed!!!  that's in my syslog, alot of times, a lot. it was on the vt like several times
[06:14] <mixxit> ok can i do something with the one on hd0,0?
[06:14] <mixxit> maybe overwrite the kern/init with something else that will let me create an ext partition?
[06:14] <undecim> mixxit: What's on the first partition of the drive right now?
[06:14] <IdleOne> hiexpo: #ubuntu-forum would be the best place to ask
[06:14] <mixxit> its ubn
[06:14] <mixxit> but when i boot it it comes up with a kernel panic
[06:14] <hiexpo> ok thanks
[06:14] <IdleOne> hiexpo: sorry #ubuntuforums
[06:14] <MeatCurtains> Any of you guys here familiar with Atheros cards?
[06:15] <mixxit> message is
[06:15] <actionParsnip> MeatCurtains: a little, whats your question
[06:15] <undecim> mixxit: Are there any other partitions on the drive?
[06:15] <mixxit> no files system could mount root, tried ext3, ext2, ext4, fuseblk
[06:15] <dipu> hi .. i m planning to install fedora on my machine to dual boot with ubuntu .. any precautions ? hope i can use the same swap space ..
[06:15] <mixxit> kernel panic not syncing: fvs:unable to mount root fos on unknownblock(8,1)
[06:15] <mixxit> no there is space for it though
[06:15] <mixxit> i just need to get to cfdisk or something! :)
[06:16] <brianlions> i want to config the boot menu, but there is no menu.lst in /boot/grub, where is it? i'm on ubuntu 10.04
[06:16] <MeatCurtains> I'm having massive issues holding a wifi connection. It works fine in windows, but as soon as I boot Ubuntu it wont hold the connection but a few minutes and when I connect its less than 1.4kbps
[06:16] <actionParsnip> dipu: nope, just remember to not partition 100% space to leave some space for ubuntu, use custom partitioning on the second install to use the same swap space
[06:16] <IdleOne> !grub2 | brianlions
[06:16] <undecim> so the only partition is one with ubuntu from unetbootin?
[06:16] <mixxit> yeah
[06:16] <mixxit> that is a win32 drive
[06:16] <mixxit> unetbootin installed it to c: for me
[06:17] <mixxit> its ntfs i believe
[06:17] <undecim> Can you still boot to Windows?
[06:17] <mixxit> sure
[06:17] <dipu> actionParsnip, sure .. thanks .. one more question .. what if my ubuntu home is mounted on a separate partition ..can i use the same home for fedora ??
[06:17] <onetinsoldier> dipu: you should be able to use the same swap partition between the two
[06:18] <undecim> mixxit: If you can make another partition, (fat32) install ubuntu on that with unetbootin, I think I can help you.
[06:18] <onetinsoldier> dipu: they should not need separate sawp partitions
[06:18] <onetinsoldier> swap*
[06:18] <mixxit> creating the partition now and will reboot
[06:18] <MeatCurtains> any idea actionParsnip?
[06:18] <dipu> onetinsoldier, ok thanks .. what about home partion
[06:19] <dipu> onetinsoldier,  i mean what about the partition mounted as /home in ubuntu .. is it safe to use it for fedora also ?
[06:19] <onetinsoldier> dipu: i wouldn't try that. however. if fedora has anything like ubuntu where it asks you if you want to import a user found on the Ubuntu OS, you could try it
[06:20] <onetinsoldier> dipu: try at your own risk :D
[06:20] <dipu> onetinsoldier, :) .. i will just have a root and swap for fedora
[06:21] <mixxit> alright i have a tiny 500mb fat32 partition (hd0,1)
[06:21] <mixxit> im booting unetbootin now
[06:21] <mixxit> no filesystem could mount root
[06:21] <kuilena> apasih
[06:21] <mixxit> kernel panic again
[06:21] <actionParsnip> dipu: i'd imagine o, i've never done a shared home like that personally but it'd be interesting to try
[06:22] <xs2ubuntu> hello
[06:22] <xs2ubuntu> hye
[06:22] <kuilena> priwe
[06:22] <undecim> mixxit: The fat32 needs to be big enough to install ubuntu with unetbootin
[06:22] <undecim> mixxit: You need to install ubuntu to the fat32 partition and boot it.
[06:22] <mixxit> how can i install ununtu to it
[06:22] <MeatCurtains> Are Atheros cards natively supported under Ubuntu?
[06:22] <mixxit> thats my problem in the first place!
[06:23] <actionParsnip> MeatCurtains: depends which model
[06:23] <dipu> actionParsnip,  its probably risky ...because lot of applications store personal data in ~
[06:23] <undecim> mixxit: With unetbootin
[06:23] <actionParsnip> MeatCurtains: well, which atheros chip
[06:23] <xs2ubuntu> im try to setting my desktop under KDE login but when i click to get  new wallpaper the msg come out is http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed
[06:23] <thunda> I'm looking for some help with Xorg. I recently compiled my own kernel with KernelCheck and am now having display issues. Occasionally, X will crash and I'll have to reboot to get my display back. Also, I can't get my computer to suspend when I close the lid. I have checked LaunchPad and have come across some similar issues but nothing have a fix that works.
[06:23] <xs2ubuntu> somebody here can help me nt??
[06:23] <mixxit> but unetbootin wants an ext3 partition
[06:23] <mixxit> thats what is kernel panicing
[06:24] <actionParsnip> dipu: but technically they are the same app, but slight differences in the way they are compiled may cause breaks / settings corruptions. I'd try it though, it may pay off and save having to have 2 homes ;)
[06:24] <actionParsnip> xs2ubuntu: wassu[p?
[06:24] <undecim> mixxit: No, unetbootin couldn't read the NTFS, and so couldn't find the files that contained the Ubuntu filesystem
[06:24] <MeatCurtains> actionParsnip: Thanks, I'll look in a bit here and see if it needs a driver.
[06:24] <actionParsnip> !hcl | MeatCurtains
[06:24] <mixxit> ohh i see
[06:24] <mixxit> you mean install the installer
[06:24] <mixxit> gotcha im on it
[06:24] <undecim> mixxit: Installing unetbootin to a separate fat32 should let it boot
[06:24] <undecim> mixxit: yes.
[06:24] <actionParsnip> MeatCurtains: theres always ndisgtk if all else fails
[06:25] <anthony> Hi. can anybody say why i don't get headphone output from my new ubuntu 10.4 install?
[06:25] <onetinsoldier> I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch
[06:25] <MeatCurtains> Yeah, I'm just having a bs time. My ethernet port is jacked and all I've got is wifi on it. So I'm going to have to download it all on windows and compile it

[06:37] <mixxit> there's a problem buddy

[06:38] <mixxit> gotcha
[06:38] <mixxit> rebooting now
[06:39] <mixxit> hmm
[06:39] <mixxit> didnt add to my boot menu
[06:39] <linux> can any one help me i have corrupted my ntfs boot sector i am using testdisk now
[06:39] <undecim> mixxit: You should be able to chainboot it like you tried before with the USB drive
[06:39] <linux> some one guide me
[06:40] <mixxit> hd0,1?
[06:40] <onetinsoldier> I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch

[06:40] <onetinsoldier> any idea on my problem anyone? it's reproducible. first time it happened i didn't know what had caused it, now i know
[06:40] <mixxit> what comes after chainloader +1?
[06:40] <mixxit> boot?
[06:40] <undecim> mixxit: makeactive
[06:40] <undecim> mixxit: then boot
[06:40] <mixxit> says remove disk or other media press any key to restart
[06:41] <linux> plz help me
[06:41] <undecim> mixxit: that's.... odd
[06:42] <linux> any one is familiar with testdisk
[06:42] <mixxit> no mbr on the second partition?
[06:42] <mixxit> erm
[06:42] <mixxit> what am i saying

[06:42] <linux> on mbr
[06:43] <undecim> mixxit: That's the message Ubuntu gives when you shut down the live cd.
[06:44] <linux> after ubunti i install windows which might have over-right mbr
[06:44] <mixxit> its looping round the same message
[06:44] <onetinsoldier> !grub | linux
[06:45] <onetinsoldier> !grub2
[06:45] <mixxit> something to do with the usb drives option?
[06:46] <linux> ubuttu i fallowed the tutorial but nothing happen
[06:47] <undecim> mixxit: no. I think it may be unetbootin's fault
[06:48] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  - well i tried in chat and email guess there not gonna give it back  to me so i am still unable to read or post forums // which no posting is ok but i can not even read any so i am going to swich distros i guess kinda a bummer
[06:49] <grevista_br> I'd like to make a statement => see http://current.com/groups/on-current-tv/88952525_gagged-in-brazil.htm
[06:49] <grevista_br> LoL
[06:49] <undecim> mixxit: Did you ever get to the unetbootin boot screen?
[06:49] <mixxit> yeah before
[06:49] <mixxit> when it was on c:
[06:50] <undecim> When you chainloaded (hd0,1)
[06:50] <mixxit> it added it for me
[06:50] <mixxit> to the windows boot.ini
[06:50] <undecim> mixxit: When you chainloaded (hd0,1) you didn't get to a unetbootin screen?
[06:50] <Flannel> grevista_br: Please stay ontopic.  Thanks
[06:51] <mixxit> no that just gave me that message
[06:51] <Remmaze> ive downloaded compiz on my x100e, i cant seem to find the applications on my system-preferences, izzit hidden sumwhere?
[06:51] <actionParsnip> Remmaze: you need to install compizconfig-settings-manager
[06:51] <undecim> mixxit: Okay, time to mess with grub again, I guess.
[06:51] <P2E> am I insane to want to force low graphics mode? I'd really like to be able to use my laptop =]
[06:51] <Remmaze> will do
[06:52] <mixxit> its just looping round saying cant find disk
[06:52] <Remmaze> wats the command line for it?
[06:52] <actionParsnip> P2E: yuo can specify the vesa driver in xorg.conf and it will be used
[06:52] <onetinsoldier> I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch
[06:52] <actionParsnip> Remmaze: new to ubuntu eh. the command is: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[06:52] <P2E> actionParsnip: is vesa what is used to display the dialog that tells me I'm in low graphics mode?

[06:52] <wildbat> !who mixxit
[06:52] <P2E> actionParsnip: or is that just what it uses once I say "yes, stay in low graphics mode"?
[06:52] <mixxit> because of makeactive i think there's no bootloader there?
[06:53] <actionParsnip> P2E: yeah, vesa can run on any hardware

[06:53] <mixxit> ubottu: okies
[06:53] <Remmaze> very new...
[06:53] <Remmaze> hahaha
[06:53] <Remmaze> thanks
[06:53] <undecim> mixxit: You can try without makeactive.
[06:53] <P2E> actionParsnip: I have this problem: http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs569.snc3/31076_397781056389_501456389_4001539_6280458_n.jpg

[06:54] <undecim> mixxit: And each one seems to have multitudes of problems behind it, lol
[06:55] <maelaian> Is there a decent c++ ide for linux that supports something like intellisense and basic refactoring?
[06:55] <onetinsoldier> any idea on my problem anyone? it's reproducible. first time it happened i didn't know what had caused it, now i know
[06:55] <actionParsnip> !ide | maelaian
[06:55] <mixxit> undecim: lol no worries appreciate any help i can get :-)
[06:56] <mixxit> undecim: same message without the makeactive
[06:57] <undecim> mixxit: What happens when you run "root (hd0,1)"?
[06:57] <mixxit> undecim: filesystem is fat, partition type xb
[06:57] <mixxit> undecim: type 0xb rather
[06:58] <mixxit> undecim: if i type boot it says kernel must be loaded before booting
[06:58] <mixxit> undecim: want me to do a find?
[06:58] <undecim> mixxit: yeah, do a find
[06:58] <bobthemilkman> I'm running Cygwin in Windows in VirtualBox in Ubuntu. I want to be able to have cygwin applications connect to the Ubuntu X server.
[06:58] <mixxit> undecim: file not found for /ubnekrn, /syslinux etc
[06:59] <undecim> mixxit: try typeing "kernel (hd0,1)/" and pressing tab
[06:59] <undecim> mixxit: don't press enter on that line
[06:59] <bobthemilkman> I tried "DISPLAY=10.0.2.2:0.0 xterm" in the cygwin on the guest, and set "xhost +10.0.2.15" on the host machine, but I get "cannot connect to X server" error.
[06:59] <mixxit> undecim: error 16 file not found
[07:00] <bobthemilkman> I can ping 10.0.2.2 from 10.0.2.15, but not vice versa.
[07:00] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: if you use xming and putty its a bit simpler
[07:00]  * undecim has an epiphany
[07:00] <bobthemilkman> actionParsnip: That's not what I want.
[07:00] <undecim> mixxit: I just remembered... this is an old mobo...
[07:00] <mixxit> undecim: very :)
[07:01] <undecim> mixxit: it can't read far into the drive at this point...
[07:01] <bryan__> hello
[07:01] <undecim> *sigh* the plot thickens... *dun*dun*dun*
[07:01] <maelaian> Does anyone know where to obtain the code::blocks nightly build deb's? I only see them offering windows releases.
[07:01] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: so you dont want to pull the x apps from the ubuntu host into the windows guest?
[07:01] <mixxit> lol! :)
[07:01] <webPragmatist> if you guys were trying to create a ha web cluster what would you do/
[07:01] <onetinsoldier> bobthemilkman: do you know if 10.0.2.2 is running a firewall? that firewall might be blocking ICMP packets. otherwise, i don't know
[07:01] <webPragmatist> right now we are looking at two dedicated boxes
[07:01] <undecim> mixxit: Alright, I have to look a few things up...
[07:01] <bobthemilkman> actionParsnip: No. I want to run x apps on the windows guest and show up on the ubuntu host.
[07:02] <lasty> !
[07:02] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: oh like seamles virtualbox them?
[07:02] <actionParsnip> *seamless
[07:02] <mixxit> undecim: since it gets the furthest booting from c: unetboot/ubuntu maybe we could do something with that?
[07:02] <onetinsoldier> bobthemilkman: i suggest you install 'iptraf' and run it on both machines and watch it, while doing the pings of course
[07:02] <bobthemilkman> The idea is that I need to test windows capability through cygwin, and it seems silly to use multiple X servers on the same machine.
[07:02] <mixxit> undecim: some sort of rescue kern/init?
[07:04] <bobthemilkman> Well he just left before I could ask any more questions. :(
[07:04] <BooVeMan> maxxist: you may look into plop bootmanager to get your usb key to boot http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[07:04] <undecim> mixxit: You were never able to boot the unetbootin from boot.ini, correct? What error did you get?
[07:04] <mixxit> kernel panic about missing ext3/ etc i guessed it was looking for somewhere to install to
[07:04] <P2E> root: irc'ing as root is a bad idea...do it as a user if you can
[07:05] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: windows doesn't have X by the way, but i know what you mean. If you press host + L (or use the menu item) it will go seamless and the windows taskbar will appear next to your gnome bars and the box will run without being constrained to a virtual windowed desktop
[07:06] <mixxit> undecim: ok i just booted from boot.ini with unetbootin testing it with one of the debian images and it says: 'filesystem type is ntfs partition type 0x7' 'kernel /unetbtin/ubnkern' 'error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format'
[07:06] <mixxit> undecim: i installed this to c:
[07:07] <bobthemilkman> actionParsnip: Did you miss the step where I said I'm using cygwin?
[07:07] <mixxit> undecim: trying another image now
[07:07] <bobthemilkman> I think this might just be a problem relating to the networking of virtualbox.
[07:07] <bluelf> how can i configure conky
[07:08] <actionParsnip> bobthemilkman: probably
[07:09] <mixxit> undecim: damn small linux on c: gives me 'bootnig unetbootin' 'find --set-root /unetbtin/ubnkern' 'error 15; file not found'
[07:09] <bluelf> i installed conky using ubuntu software center now how can i configure it
[07:11] <bluelf> i cant find .conky in home folder
[07:11] <crocket> What command line irc clients do you guys recommend to me?
[07:11] <actionParsnip> bluelf: you need to make one, or find one online
[07:11] <undecim> mixxit: Okay, here's what you have to do...
[07:11] <crocket> bitchX is not included in ubuntu repository.
[07:11] <mixxit> undecim: in windows with unetbootin window up and waiting ! :)
[07:11] <Gnea> crocket: irssi
[07:11] <crocket> It's either ircii, epic, or irssi
[07:12] <undecim> mixxit: You will need a separate partition to hold the kernel and initrd.
[07:12] <lint> irssi is awesome.
[07:12] <undecim> mixxit: This partition needs to be at the beginning of the drive.
[07:12] <mixxit> undecim: i can only create windows ones
[07:12] <mixxit> undecim: ah :-)
[07:12] <hiexpo> busy night
[07:12] <undecim> mixxit: And it has to be a very small fat32
[07:12] <crocket> Gnea, What's the reason irssi is preferred to ircii, epic, or bitchx?
[07:12] <mixxit> undecim: so i need to reinstall windows?
[07:13] <undecim> mixxit: You shouldn't have to.
[07:13] <undecim> mixxit: What version of Windows do you have?
[07:13] <mixxit> undecim: its xp
[07:13] <Gnea> crocket: it's currently maintained, has less bugs, works better with modern irc servers and is more secure
[07:13] <Stranger-2> how to add submenu to the application menu
[07:13] <crocket> Gnea, It's well maintained.
[07:13] <Gnea> crocket: and *currently*.
[07:14] <Gnea> ircii hasn't had a release since 2008
[07:14] <undecim> mixxit: See if you can resize your XP partition from XP... If not, you will need something like Partition Wizard
[07:14] <mixxit> undef: does it run in windows?
[07:14] <undecim> mixxit: Partition wizard will let you make the partition in windows
[07:14] <crocket> Gnea, So is epic5
[07:15] <Stranger-2> how to add submenu to the application menu
[07:15] <undecim> mixxit: It will let you resize the Windows partition without external media
[07:15] <Stranger-2> anybody knows ?
[07:15] <mixxit> undecim: even though its the system partition?
[07:15] <hiexpo> hmm
[07:15] <undecim> mixxit: Yup
[07:15] <actionParsnip> Stranger-2: use alacarte
[07:16] <Gnea> crocket: irsii just plain works and has a lot of scripting built-in, you hardly have to rely on any external script anymore
[07:16] <Stranger-2> actionParsnip, command line config files please
[07:16] <linux> mixxit, what is ur problem exactly i thing i know something about it
[07:16] <crocket> Gnea, I narrowed my options to between irssi and epic
[07:16] <mixxit> i want to install linux on an old pc with no usb boot or cd and only windows to work from
[07:16] <actionParsnip> Stranger-2: not sure, sorry Yuo could create the folder then analyse the system after then create commands to create that end
[07:17] <mixxit> i used unetbootn and it got so far but it needed an ext2/3 partition and none could be created from windows
[07:17] <Stranger-2> sure
[07:17] <Gnea> crocket: epic works, but many of its themes have been abandoned. many servers, like the freenode servers, have had code upgrades that have been known to confuse epic. irssi handles it.
[07:17] <Gnea> crocket: I would say, try both and see which one you like best
[07:18] <crocket> Gnea, what are themes?
[07:18] <linux> ok
[07:18] <Gnea> crocket: they change the way the client looks, like instead of having a solid blue-bar, it could be a different color, along with other color changes
[07:18] <Gnea> crocket: some add various functionality extensions
[07:19] <crocket> Gnea, I didn't think I ever had themes in CL irc clients.
[07:19] <P2E> actionParsnip: I can't seem to force vesa video. it does it once but fails on try two
[07:20] <mixxit> undecim: how small?
[07:20] <undecim> mixxit: I'm trying to find that out right now...
[07:21] <undecim> mixxit: All I know is that old mobos can only read so far into the drive until they're at a certain mode.
[07:21] <mixxit> undecim: wait a minute..... this can create ext3!
[07:21] <Gnea> crocket: o.O oh wow, well they made them for ircii and epic (the epic themes were pretty nice) and they've made some for irssi, but like I said, they're pretty useless for irssi
[07:21] <undecim> mixxit: No, it has to be fat32 for unetbootin
[07:21] <mixxit> undecim: but the kernel panic message said ext3
[07:21] <Gods-WilL> Yea, I made taht mistake with the FAT32 XD
[07:22] <crocket> Gnea, do you mean irssi people don't have their own themes?
[07:22] <BooVeMan> mixxit: 1 question - do you want to keep windows?
[07:22] <undecim> It's looking for the ext3 that is on a file within the fat32 that unetbootin installs to
[07:22] <mixxit> not really but if i lose it we are screwed
[07:22] <mixxit> we/i
[07:22] <Gnea> crocket: they do, and you can use them, but irssi is more about feasibility and functionality
[07:22] <undecim> mixxit: unetbootin will only read fat32, but it puts an ext3 in there in a file that Ubuntu can read
[07:22] <crocket> Gnea, what are differences between irssi and epic4 and 5?
[07:23] <BooVeMan> maxxist: I thought so as well - I'm in the exact same position - but IF you have a floppy drive - you are all set
[07:23] <Gnea> crocket: can't say for sure, haven't used epic in years
[07:23] <mixxit> undecim: so it wants the c: drive to be fat32?
[07:23] <Gnea> crocket: but in those days, if I wanted things like autologin to services and such, I needed a script to do it. irssi has that sort of stuff built-in.
[07:23] <crocket> ok
[07:24] <undecim> mixxit: The first partition on the drive won't necessarily be the C: drive. It has to be the first partition on the drive, must be fat32, and lets make it 16 MB
[07:24] <undecim> mixxit: I'm not sure how far the mobo can read early on in the boot process,but 16 I think should work
[07:25] <mixxit> undecim: ok making now
[07:25] <BooVeMan> mixxit: what I did is - grab an old floppy - but the plop boot manager onit and made this thing boot my flash - worked like a charm - now its installing aa netboot kubuntu :-)
[07:25] <undecim> mixxit: Ahh... I just found a number. It should be able to read up to 512 MB... 16 is fine, it will hold the kernel and initrd.
[07:26] <mixxit> undecim: minimum size is 33
[07:27] <mixxit> BooVeMan: i wish i had a floppy :P
[07:27] <undecim> brb
[07:27] <BooVeMan> mixxit: so you have a floppy drive but no floppy?
[07:27] <mixxit> undecim: wont let me move it to the front of the drive
[07:28] <BooVeMan> mixxit: HA you don't need a floppy: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#noinstall
[07:29] <BooVeMan> this should you enable to boot form your flash and repartition/reinstall you disk
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[07:30] <Ileden> Hi!
[07:31] <Kine> Hello guys, I got an Nvidia 8800 GTS card and the driver version i use is (195.36.15) Nvidia released a new version (256.25, in 21 may) What is the easiest way to upgrade? my hardware driver does not detect the new version
[07:31] <Ileden> My computer is having weird slowdown issues after upgrading to lucid. Can someone help me troubleshoot the issue?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Kine: you may get it with the nvidia vdpau ppa. They keep up pretty well
[07:32] <Kine> ActionParsnip: could you please help me set this up?
[07:32] <undecim> mixxit: You will need to move the XP partition first, then create the partition at the beginning.
[07:32] <lasty> :-D
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Kine: there are guides all over the web dude. I have even advised it on the ubuntu questions forum
[07:33] <mixxit> undecim: move it before i create the mini?
[07:33] <undecim> mixxit: yes
[07:33] <Ileden> The problem might have something to do with the display adapter (Radeon 9200), Ive tried both the "radeon" and "ati" drivers, and while "radeon" seems to work a bit better, the problem persists...
[07:33] <mixxit> undecim: k
[07:33] <Kine> ActionParsnip, im sorry to bother, thanks anyway ill look it up :)
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: if you use proprietary drivers you may want to uninstall then reinstall them with a reboot in between
[07:34] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: not using proprietary drivers. i think. At least I haven't installed them from administration->hardware drivers.
[07:34] <mixxit> undecim: it's doing the move now, going to grab a coffee :)
[07:34] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: I switched only between "radeon" and "ati" by editing xorg.conf
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> Kine: normally I would but getting that sort of stuff whilst ircing on my phone will take longer than you can find a guide
[07:34] <undecim> mixxit: k
[07:35] <karrot> is there some easy way to make a new $PATH directory?
[07:35] <Kine> ActionParsnip, I understand
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: hmm, they are the open drivers so should be ok. You could try reinstalling the package they come from
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: i'd also check for bugs relating to the ati chip you are using
[07:36] <undecim> karrot: If you only need it while in the command line, you can add it to .bashrc
[07:36] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: ok, how do I do a reinstall without losing my video in between? :)
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: you can get the name using: dpkg -l | grep ati | grep server
[07:37] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: I've tried looking at the bugs, might be affected by 568988... however, using the provided PPA to fix didn't help, so maybe not.
[07:37] <karrot> undecim: what exactly do I put in there?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: you may benefit from: sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:37] <undecim> karrot: I have my ~/.bin folder added to my path by putting this line at the end of .bashrc: PATH="$PATH:~/.bin"
[07:38] <crocket> Gnea, I think irssi is more user friendly than epic5. epic5 doesn't have help file.
[07:38] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: ok, it's "xserver-xorg-video-ati" i gather. Should i try reinstall before the reconfigure of xserver-xorg?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: yeah reinstall it then run the command. Might make things nice
[07:39] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: oh, btw, i should mention the slowdown appears only after I've used the system for a while, which is weird. tried looking at memory consumption of applications to find a mem leak, but seems ok to me, lots of free memory.
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Crocket: irssi + guake = win
[07:40] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: I'll try doing those, thanks!
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> Ileden: as soon as the slow down happens, run; dmesg | tail -n 20 ,see if you get any clues
[07:40] <gustygoo> Hi, I have a problem of the monitor turning off during use on 10.04
[07:40] <mixxit> ok thats setup
[07:41] <mixxit> undecim: install to E:?
[07:41] <Ileden> ActionParsnip: ok.
[07:41] <undecim> mixxit: no
[07:41] <gustygoo> I've turned off monitor sleep and screensaver to not effect. Any help would be appreciated
[07:41] <undecim> mixxit: Copy the kernel and initrd to the new partition
[07:41] <mixxit> undecim: okies
[07:42] <undecim> mixxit: 1 sec, let me look at the syslinux config on my drive that has unetbootin on it...
[07:42] <Stranger-2> 1 sec is over
[07:42] <sathyaphoenix> any one configured dual monitor with nvidia-glx ... the monitors are with diff resolution and i have problem .. #lucid
[07:43] <mixxit> undecim: okies ubninit and ubnkern are waiting on e:
[07:43] <undecim> errr... crud...
[07:44] <eveningsky> how do I make totem not try to stay on top of everything?
[07:44] <undecim> mixxit: Alright, load the grub command line again.
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Eveninsky: if you read the manpage, is there an option for it to start minimised?
[07:45] <undecim> mixxit: Which Ubuntu version is this?
[07:45] <mixxit> 10.4
[07:45] <undecim> mixxit: Which edition I mean? Desktop, server, mini, or alternate
[07:45] <undecim> mixxit: or netbook
[07:45] <mixxit> netinst
[07:46] <mixxit> is the name in unet anyhoo
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: you could even go as far as to use alltray to keep it out of the way
[07:47] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip. No I mean that when there is a video playing it wants to be always on top. If I click another window, the other window becomes active, but totem stays in front of it so I can't see anything. I want it to keep playing but move to the background like any other window would.
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: oh I see
[07:47] <undecim> mixxit: k, let me grab that iso and look at the syslinux config then
[07:47] <crocket> ActionParsnip, how can I switch between joined channels in irssi?
[07:48] <mixxit> i dont see a syslinux for it
[07:48] <gustygoo> so does anyone have pointers on how to debug my lcd on my laptop, losing signal during use? I've looked at the powersave and suspend logs, which seem normal
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: there may be an option / pref in totem to always be on top (which is also what SHE said)
[07:48] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, it's probably in the manpage too, but I haven't found it yet.
[07:48] <mixxit> just ubnldr.exe and ubnldr.mbr
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: let me dig
[07:48] <undecim> mixxit: hmmm... maybe it's just kernel and initrd... I'll see.
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: seems its a plugin enabled by default
[07:49] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, I could have sworn I saw it in the preferences a couple of installs of Ubuntu Studio ago, but I don't see it there now.
[07:49] <mixxit> undecim: want me to try grub while you do that?
[07:49] <undecim> sure
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596846
[07:50] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, sweet. I found it in plugins.
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: cha-ching!
[07:50] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, That's why I thought I saw it, because I was messing with plugins.
[07:50] <duytruong> hello
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> Np man, glad you got the gold
[07:51] <duytruong> hi
[07:51] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, :)
[07:52] <ActionParsnip> !hi | duytruong
[07:52] <mixxit> well it found it in find this time!
[07:52] <duytruong> I spent Jolicloud's XChat, but you ?
[07:52] <mixxit> undecim: well it found it in find this time! but message: 'invalid or unsupported executbale format' when i kernel=/
[07:53] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, That's one of the problems with running a geek operating systems. In a commercial OS, once the plugin was installed it would almost certainly appear in the obvious location of preferences.
[07:53] <eveningsky> thanks for pointing it out
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: its not a geek OS. Its just different to what you have used for so many years before
[07:53] <undecim> mixxit: Okay, this will be easy...
[07:54] <undecim> mixxit: In grub, you need to type "root (hd0,0)"
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: for me its obvious but I've used linux a while now
[07:54] <mixxit> undecim: did that already!
[07:54] <undecim> mixxit: then "kernel /ubnkern"
[07:54] <duytruong> Funny, seeing me coming from Vietnam, is very pleased to know
[07:54] <undecim> mixxit: then "initrd /ubninit"
[07:54] <undecim> mixxit: then boot
[07:55] <mixxit> undecim: can't get past the kernel and wont let me init without the kernel
[07:55] <undecim> mixxit: what's it say on the kernel?
[07:55] <mixxit> undecim: 'invalid or unsupported executbale format'
[07:56] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, no it's a geek OS. I finally made the switch about 3 months ago, and if I wasn't a geek I would have given up on it after 2 weeks. The cool thing is you get to tweak everything. The problem is you MUST tweak nearly EVERYTHING.
[07:56] <duytruong> I want to ask, every time updates are not on the Ubuntu machine (specifically Ubuntu 9.10) ?
[07:56] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, It's not geek on par with some other linux versions, but you still gotta be a geek to really love it.
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: my 80 year old grandad uses 100% stock settings and uses ethernet for web access and reuires no tweaking
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: it just depends on how tweaky you are
[07:57] <undecim> mixxit: okay, well I didn't realize before that you were using such a small iso... You should be able to use unetbootin on E:
[07:58] <mixxit> undecim: use the installer yeah?
[07:59] <undecim> mixxit:
[07:59] <undecim> mixxit: yeah
[07:59] <mixxit> okies
[07:59] <Docteh> eveningsky: with the exception of me disabling ureadahead i haven't had to fiddle with ubuntu on my desktop after i installed it
[07:59] <Lazy^> Hello, how i can force mplayer to use VDPAU
[07:59] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, Well cool! That's pretty amazing, but notice he's gotta use ethernet to be able to use stock settings, already a tweak in the making. My grandmother is running on Win98 with a wireless card. Older, crappier system, but at least the wireless just works.
[07:59] <undecim> mixxit: Hmm... from the net install, it loads the kernel and initrd and isn't mounting a drive...
[07:59] <Docteh> Lazy^: it isn't doing it automagically?
[08:00] <undecim> mixxit: Well I'll be damned, mixxit, you've just given me a way to do something I've been trying at for days.
[08:00] <KruyKaze> what tool should i use to create a live usb with autologin?
[08:00] <mixxit> undecim: woo!
[08:00] <Lazy^> Docteh: noup
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: then you are on. About hardware support which is the fault of the hardware companies not making drivers. Not ubuntu's fault at all
[08:01] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, I'm not here to lay blame. I agree.
[08:01] <moetunes> Lazy^: tried   mplayer -vo VDPAU   ?
[08:01] <lasty> guyz anyone could make a sugestion of a motherbord that is compatible with opensource?
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: he uses ethernet because where the modem is and where the pc is are stupidly close so using wifi for the sake of 30cm is ludicrous, plus wired is faster
[08:02] <adnc> hello, one of my accounts at empathy does not work, it gives a network error with msn protokoll. this does not happen to other msn-accounts. deleting and adding the same again doesnt help. has someone got this failure before?
[08:02] <Lazy^> moetunes: if i startup mplayer -vo VDPAU file.mkv i get this error: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: if the hardware manufacturers made the drivers like they did with windows with a handy installer then linux would soar but they won't as they don't get the return in money as yet
[08:03] <mixxit> oh crap
[08:03] <mixxit> hal.dll is missing
[08:03] <moetunes> Lazy^: prob your vid card doesn't support it then?
[08:03] <Lazy^> moetunes: it does support vdpau =)
[08:03] <Lazy^> ion 330
[08:03] <undecim> O.O
[08:03] <mixxit> argh!
[08:04] <Lazy^> moetunes: Karmic 9.10 did work, but now with 10.04 i have problems
[08:04] <mixxit> windows cannot boot because the following file is missing or corrupt
[08:04] <mixxit> drives have switched round maybe?
[08:04] <mixxit> 0,0 become 0,1?
[08:04] <undecim> mixxit: That may have something to do with it
[08:05] <moetunes> Lazy^: maybe the driver for the vid card? - are you using the same driver?
[08:05] <undecim> But it booted fine before, didn't it?
[08:05] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, It's not just hardware though. Microsoft spends millions on market testing to see what kind of interface people want and still screw up a LOT. Gnome has to figure out what people want just from the feedback of those few of us nuts enough to use an operating system with crappy driver support.
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: works flawlessly here but I only buy from companies supporting linux
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: I show my appreciation and hatred with where my wallet lands
[08:07] <mixxit> all i have left is grub!
[08:07] <lasty> it isnt only that companies suprt linux is in fact that some times some parts dont fit together(confilct)
[08:07] <boss_> hi, i'm having a problem changing the display language to english in 9.10 , can anyone help?
[08:08] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, Flawlessly? If you open nautilus with list view, then change the width of the Name field, does it remember the new width the next time you open nautilus?
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: and as for "those few" I suggest you read this: http://www.aaxnet.com/design/linux2.html
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: I don't use nautilus
[08:09] <undecim> while true; do mv forehead wall/; mv wall/forehead ./; done
[08:09] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, See, that's another tweak.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: the US army use linux, as do google
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: what, using terminal to perform file actions rather than using a mouse. Not a tweak at all
[08:10] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, Do you expect your grandfather to use the terminal for everything?
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: he can and does but does use mouse. I can't vouch for his activities though
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: if you want nautilus to remember the widths if it isn't then log a bug
[08:12] <Ultali> hi, whenever I restart Ubuntu (9.10) I have to manually restart GDM to get my mouse to work in, the problem was there since 8.10 and I hoped it might have bee fixed
[08:12] <Ultali> any ideas?
[08:12] <mixxit> undecim: i think i'm screwed
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> Ultali: is the 9.10 an upgrade or a clean install?
[08:13] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: an upgrade
[08:13] <undecim> mixxit: try something....
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: take out the drive, put it in another pc with cd boot and install to it then move the drive back
[08:13] <naveen519> Hii Guys
[08:13] <undecim> mixxit: in grub, run these commands...
[08:13] <MACscr> hmm, whenever i try to open a zip file, im getting an error saying: "End-of-central-directory signature not found. .......... unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of template.zip or template.zip.zip, and cannot find template.zip.ZIP, period." Even gives that same error when i simply try to open it through the file manager. The error doesnt make to much sense because the filename doesnt include two extensions like its implying no
[08:13] <mixxit> ActionParsnip: it's a laptop small ide one my only other notebook is sata only
[08:14] <undecim> mixxit: "root (hd0,0)"
[08:14] <mixxit> undecim: filesystem is fat, partition type 0xb
[08:14] <undecim> mixxit: "chainloader (hd0,2)+1"
[08:14] <mixxit> undecim: carriage return
[08:14] <undecim> mixxit: makeactive
[08:14] <undecim> mixxit: boot
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: all drives are ide, you mean pata ;). You can get adapters for pence and use the pata controller in a desktop
[08:15] <mixxit> undecim: kernel must be loaded before booting
[08:15] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, This should  probably be offtopic, no?
[08:15] <undecim> mixxit:  you did the chainloader line?
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: true but I'm here to help :)
[08:15] <mixxit> undecim: sure did chainloader(hd0,2)+1
[08:16] <mixxit> undecim: sure did chainloader(hd0,1 <-- should it be 1?
[08:16] <undecim> mixxit: no
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: is there a bios upgrade, it may give usb boot ability
[08:16] <mixxit> ActionParsnip: can i run the upgrade from grub? :P
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Ultali: do you have an xorg.conf file?
[08:17] <danielsh> is it possible to flush the DNS cache without having root/sudo access?
[08:17] <Docteh> mixxit: usually the bios updaters are dos/windows apps
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: you can use a floppy based utility
[08:17] <danielsh> everything I read says sudo nscd restart
[08:17] <mixxit> ActionParsnip: no floppies and no windows atm
[08:17] <Docteh> danielsh: is nscd actually running?
[08:18] <danielsh> Docteh: yes
[08:18] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, Thank you. The help has been recieved. If you want to continue to argue if Ubuntu is a geeky OS, type my name into offtopic.
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> Mixxit: it may make life easier to borrow one or buy a pack.
[08:18] <Kine> ActionParsnip: I have successfully added ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa to my system but all i get is some HD wallpapers and video codecs ( no driver )
[08:18] <Docteh> could try killing it ;)
[08:18] <danielsh> without having root?
[08:18] <danielsh> it runs as root
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: I'll be here then bed. Just got off a 12 hour shift
[08:18] <Docteh> huh i dont have nscd running on either of my computers
[08:19] <Docteh> danielsh: if you kill it dead you only need to get root access once
[08:19] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: yeah, I am just checking if there is a ServerLayout section since there is a bug report about a similar problem
[08:19] <eveningsky> ActionParsnip, too long.
[08:19] <danielsh> Docteh: if I had root I could kill it three different ways.  I do not have root on the machine I'm at right now.
[08:19] <illuminatus> hi, how can I install the spanish spelling review for firefox, in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Kine: hmm try: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 ,always works here. The codecs are great :)
[08:19] <Docteh> ah
[08:19] <danielsh> i.e., thanks for the ideas, but they're not applicable to my situation :-(
[08:20] <Docteh> so rebooting and adding init=/bin/bash is probably a nonstarter?
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Eveningsky: yeah another tomorrow then 4 days off though :)
[08:20] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: its looking pretty sparse
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Ultali: does it have any mousey stuff defined?
[08:20] <danielsh> Docteh: it's easier to just talk to my sysadmin
[08:21] <Docteh> danielsh: you might be able to disable the usage of nscd at a user level somehow, i have no idea how it works though
[08:21] <Kine> ActionParsnip: I need the 256  version and it seems only karmic has this in the ppa i use lucid 64 bit do i just have to wait?
[08:21] <undecim> mixxit: I'm firing up virtualbox right now to have a look at the grub version unetbootin installs and see what options you have.
[08:21] <eveningsky> Any ecryptfs experts in here? I got an encrypted home partition from using Linux Mint that I still can't get into.
[08:21]  * danielsh nods
[08:21] <melrokz> how do i find the libgtkembedmoz library needed by Adobe reader?
[08:21] <illuminatus> re
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> Kine: I guess. Is your performance really bad?
[08:21] <illuminatus> sorry
[08:21] <mixxit> sweet!
[08:22] <illuminatus> hi, how can I install the spanish spelling review for firefox, in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[08:22] <danielsh> Docteh: thanks again
[08:22] <mixxit> need to get around that message about the format
[08:22] <undecim> eveningsky: I'm pretty descent with it.
[08:22] <Docteh> yw
[08:22] <Kine> ActionParsnip: no my performance is great :D its just that the 256 has a VNC fix for the "no screen update bug with gnome"
[08:22] <eveningsky> undecim, cool. I usually just get silence on that one.
[08:22] <Kine> i mean compiz
[08:22] <undecim> eveningsky: If you have the utils installed and have the same password as you did in Mint, you should be able to access it easy
[08:22] <Docteh> melrokz: packages.ubuntu.com sometimes helps for those sort of problems
[08:22] <ubuntunewbie> hi I need help on mounting , is there anyway to change back the name of mount drive?
[08:22] <Docteh> need a full file name though
[08:23] <undecim> mixxit: well, this may take longer than I thought...
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Kine: I see. Then log a bug and state the new driver fixes it and it may get included faster :)
[08:23] <undecim> mixxit: Apparantly, my XP virtualbox is messed up...
[08:23] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: nope there isnt
[08:23] <maelaian> FFS I spend 3 days getting ubuntu on my old box. Middle of a make -j5 processor shuts down because it overheats. I cant win.
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: do you mean the mount point?
[08:24] <Ultali> there isnt any keyboard config either so I'll give that a try
[08:24] <eveningsky> undecim, I have ecryptfs, and whatever installed as a dependency. I'm using the same password. I'm not running Mint anymore.
[08:24] <Kine> ActionParsnip, I think i need more time with linux first I got noe clue over here x)
[08:24] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : hi , everytime I mount a drive it always show UUID name a long 20 number name
[08:24] <Docteh> maelaian: 5 jobs at once?
[08:24] <maelaian> Docteh: for each core.
[08:24] <undecim> eveningsky: do you have a .ecryptfs directory in /home/?
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> Ultali: find some sample xorg.conf files and copy their mouse sections. It may help
[08:25] <Docteh> 5 cores? sounds interesting
[08:25] <maelaian> Docteh: Recommended is cores + 1
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: you mount partitions, not drives
[08:25] <Docteh> oh
[08:25] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : it came with UUID *80e8aead-249d-415f-8527-5d70f585c46. Previously using ubuntu 8.04 , it shows only just (local disk) name
[08:25] <undecim> eveningsky: I take it that you have a separate home partition that is left over from mint?
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> !rename | ubuntunewbie
[08:25] <eveningsky> undecim, No.
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> !label | ubuntunewbie
[08:26] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : USB ?
[08:26] <undecim> You don't have .ecryptfs?
[08:26] <eveningsky> undecim, yes. left over. My current home is not encrypted.
[08:26] <danielsh> ... so, I'd like to flush the DNS cache, but I don't have root/sudo access.  How can I do that?
[08:26] <Stranger-2> !custom | ubuntunewbie
[08:26] <eveningsky> no don't have .ecryptfs folder
[08:26] <undecim> in /home/, not /home/username
[08:26] <Stranger-2> !list| ubuntunewbie
[08:27] <eveningsky> undecim, just checked both.
[08:27] <Ultali> ActionParsnip: the Ubuntu docs say that in 9.10 the xorg conf is ignored and instead hal configs are used and I have a logitech marble mouse specific config set in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi
[08:27] <Ultali> which I guess is why everything works at all
[08:27] <undecim> eveningsky: You know from a file browser you need to press ctrl+h to see files begninng with ., right?
[08:28] <eveningsky> undecim, yes, I see hidden files, but not .ecryptfs
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: the drive has a single partition occupying the whole drive. You are still mounting the partition. If you run: mount you will see /dev/sdb1 mounted. /dev/sdb1 is the first partition on /dev/sdb which is the disk. You cannot mount /dev/sdb
[08:29] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : oh , now I am mounting a partition .just that the name is so long to remember UUID name.
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: doesn't matter if its scsi or a flash memory stick or a cf card, the partition will be the thing mounted not the disk
[08:29] <undecim> eveningsky: There should be a .ecryptfs folder somewhere in your home directory. That contains your wrapped passphrase that's needed to unlock the files from your login password.
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: that's fine, label will help ;)
[08:29] <eveningsky> undecim, I will clarify, what I installed on the current system is ecryptfs-utils and whatever dependecies it asked for in synaptic. But I haven't used it for anything but failed attempts to recover this partition
[08:30] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : now I am find those packages ,
[08:30] <squiddy> there is new kernel for lucid http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/. why the new kernel doesnt show up on update manager?
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image
[08:31] <undecim> eveningsky: can you do a search for "wrapped-passphrase" in your home partition?
[08:31] <eveningsky> undecim, It was not installed with the OS. As I said, I did not encrypt my home partition this time because the last one got trapped in encryption
[08:31] <rubydiamond> how much time it takes to upgrade ubuntu to lucid
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Squiddy 2.6.32.22.23 is the layest official ubuntu kernel. You can use that kernel at your own risk but its not supported here
[08:31] <Docteh> !info ubuntu-standard
[08:31] <nope> that depends on a lot of things
[08:31] <undecim> eveningsky: But your encrypted files are still there, no?
[08:32] <squiddy> ActionParsnip: got it. thanks.
[08:32] <Docteh> rubydiamond: that depends on internet speeds, amount of stuff installed etc etc
[08:32] <eveningsky> undecim, Encrypted files are in a partition that is not part of the current system and only mounts if I mount it manually in the terminal.
[08:32] <undecim> eveningsky: Okay, look in that partition for .ecryptfs
[08:33] <undecim> eveningsky: There should be a .ecryptfs/username/.ecryptfs/ folder on that partition
[08:34] <rubydiamond> Docteh: okay..
[08:35] <naveen519> firefox is is consuming more processing power
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Naveen519: it does that
[08:35] <naveen519> firefox-3.5.3
[08:35] <Kine> How do I install the latest version from here http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/198801
[08:35] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : will those label affect the other operating system ? let say if I had window xp on other partition , will it also rename the drive ?
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: should be fine as far as I know
[08:36] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : window XP boot as C: , so if I rename at ubuntu as (XP ) will it also rename the C: to (XP) when I boot to window ?
[08:36] <naveen519> ActionParsnip: what is the solution do you suggest ? my system is hanging
[08:36] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : so all the partition get mess up ?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Kine: i'd remove the vdpau ppa and add the xswat ppa: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/27
[08:37] <Gnea> Kine: you don't, ubuntuupdates.org just shows you WHAT'S updated, there's nothing that you can install from there.
[08:38] <Kine> ActionParsnip: i did add x swap but the 256 driver is not there
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntunewbie: it only changes the label. The data is untouched. The system may think its a new drive but will still act the same
[08:38] <Gnea> !upgrade
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Kine: read the top few lines of the link you gave
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Kine: you need to install the nvidia-graphics-drivers package once you add it
[08:41] <eveningsky> Sorry if this is a double post, I just lost my connection: undecim, the only thing that shows up in the partition is lost+found, my-username-> [Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop, README.txt]
[08:41] <undecim> eveningsky: look in that partition for .ecryptfs
[08:41] <eveningsky> undecim, I just described everything that is visible in the partition.
[08:41] <undecim> eveningsky: There has to be a "wrapped-passphrase" file on that partition to convert your login password to your encryption key
[08:42] <eveningsky> undecim, no wait. I just realized. I forgot how to ls hidden files.
[08:43] <eveningsky> there is a .ecryptfs in there.
[08:43] <alexbobp> What package can I install for the hardware drivers manager?
[08:43] <kobelev> http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//Fedora-13-i686-Live.torrent
[08:43] <alexbobp> I'm trying to get wifi working
[08:43] <undecim> eveningsky: Okay, do you want to recover these files and put them in your home directory unencrypted, or do you want to restore your home directory to where it was with mint?
[08:43] <eveningsky> I found it through nautilus. How do I see hideen files in the terminal?
[08:43] <kobelev> http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-13-i386-DVD.torrent
[08:43] <alexbobp> eveningsky: ls -a
[08:44] <eveningsky> undecim, I just want to put them in a folder somewhere so I can dig through them at my leisure.
[08:44] <Docteh> whats the daemon that lets me use my mouse in the text console?
[08:44] <eveningsky> alexbobp, thanks.
[08:44] <rabidweezle> Docteh, gpm
[08:44] <alexbobp> eveningsky: no prob
[08:45] <eveningsky> undecim, and free up all that partitioned space.
[08:45] <Docteh> thx
[08:45] <alexbobp> Does anybody know the name of the program that finds hardware drivers, like wifi and graphics cards?
[08:45] <Docteh> start with lspci
[08:45] <undecim> eveningsky: alright then... in .ecryptfs there is your username. Inside that folder there is .ecryptfs and .private.
[08:45] <paul__> does anyone know how I can add a custom button for my desktop on netbook remix?
[08:45] <CbIP> Hi all! Does anybody know, I changed my display manager from gdm to xdm and now it fails to start. Just says "starting x-display-manager" and nothing happens...
[08:45] <Docteh> might be something more complex but lspci works really well
[08:45] <undecim> eveningsky: move both of those to your home folder
[08:46] <undecim> eveningsky: and then make a folder in your home directory called "Private"
[08:46]  * Ultali gives up
[08:46] <eveningsky> undecim. move those 2 folders directly into my current active home folder?
[08:46] <undecim> eveningsky: yes, Assuming you have the space
[08:46] <Ileden> Hi! I was asked by ActionParsnip to run "sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg" but it reports "dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure". What's wrong?
[08:47] <eveningsky> undecim, as in /home not /home/username ?
[08:47] <Docteh> Ileden: dpkg-reconfigure blahblah
[08:47] <undecim> undecim: no, move them to YOUR home folder /home/username
[08:47] <SandGorgon> anyone having trouble with chromium on ubuntu 64-bit - it stops working after the 3'rd or 4'th tab with this http://pastebin.com/EveZbCrY
[08:47] <Ileden> Docteh: ok, thanks!
[08:47] <undecim> eveningsky: no, move them to YOUR home folder /home/username
[08:48] <rabidweezle> SandGorgon, nope
[08:48] <CbIP> I've changed my display manager from "gdm" to "xdm" and now it fails to start. Just says "starting x-display-manager" and nothing happens... Does anybody know, how to fix it?
[08:48] <rabidweezle> SandGorgon, ppa?
[08:48] <alexbobp> oh, turns out I had madwifi all along XD
[08:48] <alexbobp> just wasn't using it.
[08:48] <MACscr> how do i find the full path for rhythmbox? i want it to be my default app for .pls
[08:48] <undecim> eveningsky: We will mount the ecryptfs to the Private folder I told you to make
[08:48] <Docteh> CbIP: you're going to have to dig deeper and get a more informative error
[08:48] <SandGorgon> rabidweezle, chromium-daily
[08:48] <Docteh> can you run xdm manually?
[08:49] <undecim> eveningsky: After you have moved those files, you need to edit .ecryptfs/Private.mnt and change the path in that file to /home/username/Private
[08:49] <rabidweezle> SandGorgon, I suggest just switching to stable in the lucid repo
[08:49] <LuckySMack> should this entry in my fstab not mount the partitions on boot with me as the owner? they are still owned by root with perms of 777. http://pastebin.com/uMFMPKS6
[08:50] <CbIP> Docteh: THe problem is that I can load Ubuntu only with gdm, not xdm... So how do I collect more information?
[08:50] <undecim> eveningsky: After the .ecryptfs folder is there, you can go ahead and edit that file while the rest of the files are moving
[08:50] <eveningsky> undecim, is there a way to do this without moving them? It's reporting about 2.5 hours to copy all the files.
[08:50] <Docteh> CbIP: stop it from starting either, log in at text mode and sudo xdm
[08:50] <SandGorgon> undecim, quick side question - anythoughts about Truecrypt vs ecryptfs ?
[08:50] <undecim> eveningsky: You could just make a symlink to the folders.
[08:50] <Docteh> LuckySMack: i dont see anything that mentions a user in that paste
[08:51] <undecim> SandGorgon: Never used truecrypt
[08:51] <Docteh> defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8
[08:51] <CbIP> Docteh: OK, I'll try. Also, please tell me how to remove it from autorun. I'm a newbie in Linux-systems...
[08:51] <undecim> SandGorgon: though from what I've read, Truecrypt is more secure. I've used dm-crypt with LUKS before, which is good for encrypted root partitions, but no so much for encrypted home
[08:52] <LuckySMack> Docteh, ah i got it from a forum post the other day that mentioned it would be owned by the main user
[08:52] <ubuntunewbie> ActionParsnip : I still dont get it how to label
[08:52] <LuckySMack> maybe i read it out of context.
[08:52] <Docteh> rename /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.conf.disabled
[08:52] <CbIP> Docteh: OK. Thanks. I'm going to try...
[08:52] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Are you still trying to install Ubuntu from windows?
[08:52] <undecim> mixxit: Almost done reinstalling XP in virtualbox...
[08:53] <Docteh> LuckySMack: uid=1000 would make it owned by the first user account, you can look up user ids in /etc/passwd if it doesn't like eg user=LuckySMack
[08:53] <Docteh> I think ntfs-3g supports both methods though
[08:53] <LuckySMack> Docteh, cool thanks.
[08:53] <undecim> Jordan_U: Actually, we've managed to bork windows, so now we're trying to install Ubuntu from Grub4dos
[08:53] <dodo> someone can help me, how to install 3d compiz fusion in ubuntu 9.10???
[08:54] <SandGorgon> rabidweezle, what ppa do you use for chromium ?
[08:54] <visitor1> , i installed xsane form the ubuntu package manager, but when i start xsane it says no devices avaiable but the scanner is connected and i can print with it
[08:54] <rabidweezle> SandGorgon, lucid has it in the main repo, so none
[08:54] <visitor1> hi people, need help to get a canon mp640 under xubuntu 10.04 working,i downloaded the latest sane from the sane webpage and i did ./configure, make,make install
[08:55] <visitor1> , i installed xsane form the ubuntu package manager, but when i start xsane it says no devices avaiable but the scanner is connected and i can print with it
[08:55] <Docteh> is there an app for managing ppa's?
[08:55] <LuckySMack> Docteh, ok does this look more right then? my uid is 1000. http://pastebin.com/nXGgxwq2
[08:55] <undecim> Docteh: Ubuntu tweak
[08:56] <Jordan_U> undecim: Is there any way to edit files on the hard drive, or on any drive that the BIOS can read?
[08:56] <dodo> friend???? i need help???? how to install 3d compiz fusion in ubuntu carmic koala????
[08:56] <Docteh> LuckySMack: space goes out
[08:56] <undecim> Jordan_U: Well, the bios is pretty limited as to what it can read.
[08:56] <Docteh> uid=1000,defaults,....
[08:56] <geirha> LuckySMack: You need to separate the options with commas  defaults,uid=1000,...
[08:56] <LuckySMack> ahox, cool
[08:56] <LuckySMack> i see
[08:56] <undecim> Jordan_U: Currently, grub4dos doesn't seem to be able to boot a Linux kernel
[08:57] <LuckySMack> thanks.
[08:57] <dodo> hallo
[08:57] <Docteh> i thought grub4dos just ran grub from dos
[08:58] <undecim> Docteh: No, it's like a different version of grub
[08:58] <eveningsky> undecim, OK. I symlinked .Private and copied .ecryptfs and Private.mnt now reads /home/username/Private
[08:58] <MosDef> I need help
[08:59] <undecim> eveningsky: No run ecryptfs-mount-private in a terminal
[08:59] <undecim> now*
[09:00] <MosDef> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[09:00] <eveningsky> undecim, no apparent errors. says Inserted auth token......
[09:01] <undecim> eveningsky: Check Private
[09:02] <undecim> mixxit: You there?
[09:02] <eveningsky> undecim, Ok. It's in Private? so do I need to copy that stuff somewhere else now? that's like mounting right? temporary?
[09:02] <eveningsky> YAY!!!!
[09:02] <undecim> eveningsky: Yes, your encrypted files that were on the old partition are mounted to Private
[09:03] <MosDef> hello Unde?
[09:04] <undecim> Right now it's temporary. With the settings in .ecryptfs, Ubuntu will try to mount each time, but you have to mount the partition itself manually. If you give the partition a permanent mount point from /etc/fstab, then it will become a permanent mount
[09:04] <Jordan_U> undecim: This is starting to get somewhat convoluted, but you should be able to use grub4dos to load a super grub2 disk image, and it's easy to boot from an iso from there as there is an option to automatically detect loop bootable iso files. (if mixxit is still available that is).
[09:04] <undecim> Jordan_U: There is no way to get the grub2 super disk to a place where grub4dos can access it.
[09:04] <undecim> Jordan_U: I think the only option left is to get a floppy disk...
[09:04] <mixxit> right
[09:04] <mixxit> good news
[09:04] <Jordan_U> undecim: You can't put it on a flash drive?
[09:05] <undecim> Jordan_U: Old mobo... It doesn't work with flash drives
[09:05] <mixxit> i found a dusty cdrw at the bottom of a pile of cds
[09:05] <eveningsky> undecim, Hah hah! What a joke. That 100G partition that was going to take 2 hours to copy only had 1.6G of actual data in it. Thank god for symlinks
[09:05] <mixxit> its slightly scratched but it has suse on it!
[09:05] <mixxit> i am just booting it now
[09:05] <undecim> eveningsky: symlinks are quite useful.
[09:05] <mixxit> (rescue)
[09:05] <Docteh> undecim: what are you trying to do?
[09:05] <undecim> mixxit: Very nice.
[09:06] <Jordan_U> undecim: Isn't that the whole point of unetbootin using grub4dos though (that it has native USB drivers)?
[09:06] <mixxit> undecim: i have left the usb stick in
[09:06] <undecim> Docteh: Boot Ubuntu on a very very old laptop
[09:06] <eveningsky> undecim, hmm. 1.6 gigs is too small for what I had on there. there should have been at least about 30.
[09:06] <Docteh> o, like a livecd or to install?
[09:06] <undecim> Jordan_U: Well, as far as we've tried, we can't access it.
[09:06] <mixxit> no cds and no boot from usb
[09:06] <undecim> eveningsky: where do you see 1.6 GB?
[09:06] <Docteh> live-noncd then
[09:08] <Docteh> undecim: are you shooting for an install or like what the livecd does
[09:08] <undecim> eveningsky: Are you sure you made symlinks and aren't just using what you had already transferred?
[09:08] <CbIP> Docteh: I've renamed /etc/init/gdm.conf, and run sudo xdm (at tty1). It started normally I think, 'cause there were no errors or any messages at all. Also I did't find xorg.conf in my system
[09:08] <undecim> Docteh: Install. Previously we were trying to get net-install on the hard drive, since we didn't have any external media
[09:08] <Docteh> oh did that work?
[09:09] <eveningsky> undecim, I opened Private, highlighted everything and copied it to another folder the copying dialog showed 1.6G. I just showed hidden files, but that only raised it to about 2 gigs.
[09:09] <Docteh> I'd boot gpxe off of a floppy myself
[09:09] <undecim> eveningsky: Make sure that the .private folder is indeed a symlink.
[09:09] <eveningsky> the rest of that mostly is ubuntu specific preferences and stuff
[09:09] <CbIP> Docteh: And after renaming gdm.conf  GDM (not XDM) stared normally...
[09:10] <Docteh> CbIP: so all is well in the land?
[09:10] <CbIP> Docteh: No, I got gdm instead of xdm...
[09:11] <Docteh> oh
[09:11] <undecim> eveningsky: "stat .private" should tell you if it is
[09:12] <isolat3dsh33p> hello guys, I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i have problem with my touchpad. I doesn't work. How do I solve this problem?
[09:12] <Lazy^> How i can get mplayer to use VDPAU ?
[09:12] <eveningsky> undecim, maybe not.
[09:12] <undecim> eveningsky: And make sure you got capitalization right...
[09:12] <eveningsky> I wonder how I got another .Private folder
[09:13] <eveningsky> undecim, must be leftovers from failed attempts at recovery.
[09:14] <undecim> eveningsky: You can have a .private and a .Private in the same directory because of cases sensitivity.
[09:14] <undecim> eveningsky: Make sure that .Private (capitalized) is the symlink
[09:14] <Jordan_U> mixxit: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html should let you install Ubuntu from your suse disk.
[09:14] <mixxit> its not a full rescue system
[09:14] <mixxit> unfortunately :/
[09:14] <mixxit> but at least im in a shell
[09:15] <undecim> mixxit: If you can get your windows fixed, you can go back to putting unetbootin on E:.
[09:15] <undecim> mixxit: Assuming you want to keep windows, that kills two birds with one stone
[09:15] <MosDef> Please how can i disable b43-PCI-BRIDGE
[09:15] <eveningsky> undecim, I only used .Private throughout because that's what I saw in the partition. The symlink command did not complain, but it also didn't complain about .ecryptfs, which appeared in my home directory as a file instead of a directory.
[09:16] <mixxit> worth a shot
[09:16] <eveningsky> that's why I copied .ecryptfs
[09:16] <antonio_> hi, what happen if i install yum?
[09:17] <Wipster> hey all, my graphics seem to initalise wrongly, when I boot sometimes I get the wrong resolution some times I get no login screen at all just a background. I have been looking around and I think its to do with the speeded up boot and my intel driver (latitude notebook) also worth noting when I get into the desktop the screen extends off to the right off my screen, when I go to prefs monitors the screen re initalises and is right without me ch
[09:17] <Wipster> anging anything.
[09:17] <undecim> eveningsky: mixxit: I hate to leave you guys in the middle of fixing problems, but I really need to get to sleep.
[09:18] <mixxit> undecim: no problem buddy! thank you so much for sitting here with me
[09:18] <mixxit> undecim: we can do this!
[09:19] <undecim> mixxit: No problem. Thanks for letting me figure out about the net install. I can write that guide about installing without external media now.
[09:19] <mixxit> nice! send me a link
[09:19] <undecim> mixxit: And it got a lot simpler to do, as well.
[09:19] <undecim> nite guys
[09:19] <UbuntuLily_> I have installed the DEV version of WINE from the Software Center but its older than the DEV available at winhq.  is there a reason for this?

[09:23] <Galerien> kevin__: english
[09:24] <Galerien> sreeju: what do you mean?
[09:24] <sreeju> i have installed a theme in ubuntu10.4 but it looks good only if windows are transparent ...how can i change transparency of windows
[09:24] <Ganymede> dysfunctional chat moment!
[09:24] <mixxit> Jordan_U there is no netinstall iso
[09:24] <Galerien> sreeju:  you need to install compiz
[09:24] <Jordan_U> mixxit: What kernel where you trying to load?
[09:25] <sreeju> how?
[09:25] <mixxit> ubnkern
[09:25] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Which is?
[09:25] <Galerien> sreeju: and do you have a graphic card, if yes witch one?
[09:25] <Galerien> sreeju: application ==> ubuntu software center
[09:25] <sreeju> sorry no
[09:25] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Or rather, which is supposed to be used to boot what?
[09:26] <mixxit> Jordan_U: it was in unet 10.4 netinst
[09:26] <mixxit> Jordan_U: it put some files in to the c: drive and then modified the boot.ini
[09:26] <kevin__> any Chinese?
[09:26] <sreeju> then i have another problem, my gwibber is not working
[09:26] <Jordan_U> !cn | kevin__
[09:26] <kevin__> thank you
[09:27] <m4tic> good morning
[09:27] <Jordan_U> kevin__: You're welcome
[09:27] <mixxit> Jordan_U: here's what i have to work with - a blank drive and a very basic shell
[09:27] <sreeju> i have added my twitter account to it but nothing comes
[09:27] <sreeju> what to do?
[09:27] <mixxit> Jordan_U: but it does have tcp
[09:27] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Can you download this: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso and copy it to your hard drive?
[09:27] <mixxit> Jordan_U: and curl
[09:27] <sreeju> and i cannot even add my facebook account to it
[09:28] <mixxit> Jordan_U: no partitions atm what can i use? i tried looking for fdisk and cfdisk but its not on this cd
[09:28] <Galerien> sreeju: my gwibber works but has HUGE memory problems
[09:28] <Galerien> sreeju: use Twitux of some other that you can find in the software center
[09:29] <Galerien> sreeju: facebook that's weird...
[09:29] <sreeju> oh thanks
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> Hello, I'm trying to connect to my laptop thorugh ssh on a remote server.
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> I have dyndns installed
[09:29] <Jordan_U> mixxit: No partitions? Where is grub4dos installed?
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> and all my router configurations are setup
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> But it says connection refused
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> apparently I need to icnrease the amount of allowed connections
[09:29] <mehgahbleh> how do I do that?
[09:29] <sreeju> ok bye
[09:29] <mixxit> Jordan_U: its trashed now im on a suse install cd in f9
[09:30] <mehgahbleh> Thanks in advance.
[09:30] <mehgahbleh> I will also shower you with money for your help
[09:30] <m4tic> facebook does not work in kapote
[09:30] <Jordan_U> mixxit: :( That makes things harder, though not impossible.
[09:30] <mixxit> Jordan_U: yay!
[09:30] <Jordan_U> mixxit: How did you trash it though?
[09:31] <Galerien> mehgahbleh: yeah well... Are you sure that your laptop accept remote connection?
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> How can I be sure?
[09:31] <Galerien> I'm no expert, but I had turned that off last time :s
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> I'm doing ssh localhost
[09:31] <mixxit> Jordan_U: something happened with windows and it couldnt find hal.dll anymore
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> and that's respondning fine
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> debug1: identity file /home/hasan/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
[09:31] <mehgahbleh> debug1: identity file /home/hasan/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1

[09:31] <FloodBot4> mehgahbleh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:31] <m4tic> can anyone use mxit in kapote and empathy?
[09:31] <mixxit> Jordan_U: i think it was when we swapped the partitions around
[09:32] <Galerien> m4tic: I use pidgin + empathy
[09:32] <Jordan_U> mixxit: grub4dos should still work even without windows being bootable.
[09:32] <mixxit> Jordan_U: windows is not setactive atm so it just says insert disk etc..
[09:33] <mixxit> Jordan_U: not sure if this cd has grub or lilo ill check
[09:33] <mehgahbleh> Galerien:  http://pastebin.com/xwsSYdB1
[09:33] <mehgahbleh> ideas?
[09:33] <Jordan_U> mixxit: And you don't have any floppies? That would make things much simpler.
[09:33] <isolat3dsh33p> hello guys, I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i have problem with my touchpad. I doesn't work. How do I solve this problem?
[09:33] <mixxit> Jordan_U: no external media
[09:34] <Galerien> mehgahbleh: wait
[09:34] <mehgahbleh> Thanks.
[09:34] <delight> is suspend to ram mode also available via shell command ?
[09:34] <mixxit> Jordan_U: what can we do from this suse shell?
[09:34] <Galerien> delight: what do you mean?
[09:34] <Galerien> mehgahbleh: nop :s Sorry, as I said, not an expert
[09:34] <m4tic> galerien, are you able to use facebook in either of them
[09:35] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Ok, I have a crazy idea as a start, but it will destroy the partition table on your hard drive.
[09:35] <delight> Galerien: well i can suspend to ram on my ubuntu via guy … but i was wondering if this is also possible via a command on shell
[09:35] <Galerien> m4tic: in empathy
[09:35] <mixxit> Jordan_U: ok thats not a problem
[09:35] <mehgahbleh> Well, anyone know how to increase amount of allowed connections?
[09:35] <Galerien> delight: you mean killing processus ?
[09:35] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Download this image and dd it to your hard drive: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso
[09:35] <m4tic> galerien do you enter facebook.com/username? or just username? to date none of these methods work
[09:35] <delight> Galerien: no calling standby …
[09:35] <mixxit> Jordan_U: dd?
[09:36] <mixxit> Jordan_U: i dont have a partition to download it to
[09:36] <Galerien> delight: well, that's ctrl + Z if I remember well...
[09:36] <Galerien> but I don't really know
[09:37] <Galerien> that's something you should be able to find on google...
[09:37] <mixxit> Jordan_U: some memory space?
[09:37] <Galerien> m4tic: username
[09:37] <Galerien> that's all
[09:37] <Jordan_U> mixxit: "dd if=/path/to/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso of=/dev/sda" (but be *very* carefull, if /dev/sda is your flash drive rather than your hard drive then it will destroy the partition table (and some data) on the flash drive)
[09:37] <m4tic> galerien it does not work, but for some reason in mandriva it works
[09:37] <delight> Galerien: well not really … i don't want to stop a process … but i wanted to put a remote box to sleep … via ssh
[09:38] <Galerien> m4tic: sorry, can't help you :D
[09:39] <Galerien> delight: yeah well, my remote connection telnet/ssh are far behind me, so sorry :D
[09:39] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Just put it in /tmp, that should store it in RAM.
[09:39] <al_> how would I "pipe" the output of a find result list in such a way that I can browse the jpgs in the result list? would I need to copy to another location the view in the gui?
[09:39] <mixxit> Jordan_U: dd command not found
[09:39] <kanzie> I get ntpd[22259]: can't open /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift.TEMP: Permission denied  in my syslog, how can I fix this?
[09:39] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Oh no, you're just at an initramfs shell :(
[09:39] <mixxit> Jordan_U: managed to curl it down
[09:40] <eveningsky> can one of the bots here take messages for offline users?
[09:40] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Well, I guess cat is just as good for our purposes, "cat /path/to/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso > /dev/sda"
[09:41] <mixxit> is it sda or hda?
[09:41] <mixxit> Jordan_U: done it to both, reboot?
[09:42] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Yes.
[09:42] <MACscr> i know many of you use docky, but how do you work with workspaces then?
[09:42] <Anubi> hi all
[09:42] <mixxit> Jordan_U: boot failure
[09:43] <Jordan_U> mixxit: From the hard drive?
[09:43] <noblock_aplicabl> file not found?
[09:43] <Anubi> i have some problem with synce in lucid, i cannot sync my htc with evolution, but in karmic i had no problem. some solution?
[09:43] <mixxit> Jordan_U: yeah it tried all devices
[09:44] <mixxit> Jordan_U: back into suse?
[09:44] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Yes.
[09:44] <delight> Galerien: it works by calling /etc/acpi/sleep.sh sleep
[09:44] <mixxit> Jordan_U: might be able to get a full rescue system up just asking the guys in suse a sec
[09:44] <Galerien> delight: oO well, thanks for the heads up!!
[09:44] <abuayyoub> hi, anyone here use Gnome-shell?
[09:45] <Jordan_U> mixxit: The cat command gave you no errors? Did you have the external drive connected?
[09:46] <noblock_aplicabl> haz anyone try slitaz dist?
[09:46] <ChaosR> hello, with compiz turned on I can't play h.264 (720p) videos nicely, it seems like either the frame rate is too low, or vblank isnt correctly synced (though I enabled it). When I used ubuntu a year ago this didnt happen (I used kubuntu in the mean time, but now I switched back). any way to solve it?
[09:46] <mixxit> Jordan_U: no external and no errors
[09:46] <ubulucid> Hi!
[09:47] <Galerien> ChaosR: what is you graphic card?
[09:47] <ChaosR> Galerien: nVidia 8600GT
[09:47] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Ok, are you at the Suse shell again?
[09:47] <mixxit> almost, one sec
[09:47] <Galerien> ChaosR: did you install the proprietary driver?
[09:47] <ChaosR> Galerien: yes
[09:47] <ChaosR> Galerien: and, vdpau seems to make it worse
[09:48] <Jordan_U> mixxit: I see you're getting a lot of great help in #suse ;)
[09:48] <ubulucid> I am using ubuntu 10.04 desktop, i would like to have KDE session as well. How can i have KDE session not kubuntu?
[09:48] <Galerien> ChaosR: ok... I've always used ATI, so, sorry but I don't really know what tot tell you :s
[09:48] <k1> Hi, where is .mozilla/plugin ? i need to put something there but i can't find the dir
[09:48] <Galerien> do you have direct rendering ?
[09:48] <mixxit> Jordan_U: lol yeah.. crayz!
[09:48] <ChaosR> Galerien: both direct rendering and vdpau seem to have the "stutter"
[09:49] <ubulucid> kl: press Ctrl+H to view hidden files in your home
[09:49] <ChaosR> Galerien: to explain it a bit better, it seems as if the screen updates in 2 separate parts
[09:49] <Jordan_U> mixxit: I may need to leave soon.
[09:49] <Tangor> Help me please =)) I have downloaded an iso image ubuntu-server 10.04 lst, but I can't install it, installation passes with errors (corrupted packages and files) The md5sums of the downloaded image and image on a server coincide
[09:49] <Tangor> There are  2 hdd on the computer, there is ubuntu-desktop 10.04 sistem on one of them. Somebody faced such problem? P.S.:Excuse me for my awful English ;-)
[09:49] <ubulucid> kl: files starting with . or / are hidden files
[09:49] <Galerien> ChaosR: Lucid ?
[09:49] <ChaosR> Galerien: yes, lucid
[09:50] <Galerien> Clean install ?
[09:50] <Galerien> or upgrade?
[09:50] <ubulucid> k1: press Ctrl+H to view hidden files in your home
[09:50] <ChaosR> Galerien: clean install, made yesterday
[09:50] <ubulucid> I am using ubuntu 10.04 desktop, i would like to have KDE session as well. How can i have KDE session not kubuntu?
[09:50] <mixxit> Jordan_U: me too in about 30-40 minutes or so but thanks incase you shoot off
[09:50] <Galerien> Ok... well, I don't know what to tell you then
[09:50] <k1> ubulucid, i know, but this dir doesnt exist
[09:50] <ChaosR> heh
[09:50] <StevenR> Hi. How do I make the terminal beep (like echo -ne "\a"). I'm trying to use things like audible ping, but I don't get any sound
[09:50] <rww> k1: create it
[09:51] <Galerien> ChaosR:  because with upgrade there are a lots of problems with drivers, but that's the first clean install problem I saw...
[09:51] <ubulucid> k1: right, create it as rww says for plugins
[09:51] <abuayyoub> hi does anyone in here use Gnome-shell?
[09:51] <ubuntunewbie> hi I install the Ati driver but the it doesn't have the short cut CCC for me to configurate
[09:51] <k1> rww, ubulucid ok thanks
[09:51] <ubuntunewbie> what's the shurt cut for ATi catalyst ?
[09:51] <rww> k1: it's plugins, not plugin, btw.
[09:51] <ubulucid> k1: Welcome
[09:51] <ubulucid> I am using ubuntu 10.04 desktop, i would like to have KDE session as well. How can i have KDE session not kubuntu?
[09:51] <ubuntunewbie> using ubuntu 10.04
[09:51] <ubuntunewbie> thank you
[09:52] <abuayyoub> !gnome-shell
[09:52] <MACscr> shouldnt i be able to drag windows from one workspace to the other?
[09:52] <Galerien> ubuntunewbie: System ==> preference
[09:52] <k1> rww, oh,,,thanks
[09:52] <ubuntunewbie> it doesn't show at preference
[09:52] <Galerien> and you should see it
[09:52] <Galerien> oO
[09:52] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Is the error you got booting different since you ran the cat command?
[09:52] <ubuntunewbie> that's why I feel funny
[09:52] <ubulucid> Anyone uses KDE here???
[09:52] <ChaosR> Galerien: yeh, it probably isnt syncing right for some reason, happens in every movie player. I had this bug on KDE too, but never with compiz
[09:52] <ubuntunewbie> I can enable compiz means i installed already
[09:52] <Tangor> Help me please =)) I have downloaded an iso image ubuntu-server 10.04 lst, but I can't install it, installation passes with errors (corrupted packages and files) The md5sums of the downloaded image and image on a server coincide
[09:52] <Tangor> There are  2 hdd on the computer, there is ubuntu-desktop 10.04 sistem on one of them. Somebody faced such problem?
[09:52] <rww> ubulucid: sudo apt-get install kde-standard
[09:52] <Galerien> ubuntunewbie: aticonfig then
[09:53] <Galerien> aticonfig --initial
[09:53] <mixxit> Jordan_U: im not sure i think so
[09:53] <mixxit> Jordan_U: the web install of rescue froze so im heading to the init shell
[09:53] <ubulucid> rww: will it bring kubuntu?
[09:53] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Are you sure you wrote to /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1 ?
[09:53] <rww> ubulucid: no, hence the name.
[09:53] <rww> ubulucid: what is it in Kubuntu you object to?
[09:53] <mixxit> Jordan_U: sda and hda
[09:54] <noblock_aplicabl> :)
[09:54] <ubuntunewbie> Galerien : Found fglrx primary device section     Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf     Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-0     aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor.
[09:54] <ubulucid> rww: Not much, i am new  to it..Whats the difference b/w kde-base, kde-standars and kubuntu-desktop?
[09:54] <mixxit> Jordan_U: would you like me to try it again?
[09:54] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Sure.
[09:55] <mixxit> Jordan_U: okies
[09:55] <ubulucid> rww: (edit)Not much, i am new  to it..Whats the difference b/w kde-base, kde-standard and kubuntu-plasma-desktop?
[09:55] <Galerien> ubuntunewbie: glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
[09:55] <Galerien> glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
[09:55] <mixxit> Jordan_U: cat test.iso > /dev/sda ?
[09:55] <thopiekar> hi
[09:56] <rww> ubulucid: kdebase* packages are the base of the KDE system, kde-standard is a metapackage that installs a standard KDE desktop, kubuntu-desktop installs KDE plus modifications by the Kubuntu team, kubuntu-plasma-desktop doesn't exist.
[09:56] <thopiekar> is killerkiwi here?
[09:56] <ubuntunewbie> Galerien : The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
[09:56] <ubuntunewbie> Galerien : should I install ?
[09:56] <mixxit> Jordan_U: ok done, should i try to mount sda or something?
[09:56] <StevenR> How do I make the terminal beep (like echo -ne "\a"). I'm trying to use things like audible ping, but I don't get any sound from the terminal :S
[09:56] <Galerien> ubuntunewbie: dont
[09:57] <adel> hey guyz... i want to edit the /etc/grub/grub file but its read only.... how can i edit it?

[09:57] <Tangor> hi! =)) I have downloaded an iso image ubuntu-server 10.04 lst, but I can't install it, installation passes with errors (corrupted packages and files) The md5sums of the downloaded image and image on a server coincide
[09:57] <Tangor> There are  2 hdd on the computer, there is ubuntu-desktop 10.04 sistem on one of them.
[09:57] <ubuntunewbie> Galerien : maybe I need to restart the pc , will be back in min
[09:57] <rww> Tangor: you probably need tcl-dev
[09:57] <Galerien> ubuntunewbie: and don't take this the wrong way, but I think you are screwed...
[09:57] <rww> Tangor: sorry, mistab
[09:58] <rww> h00ked: you probably need tcl-dev
[09:58] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Yes, "mount /dev/sda /mnt" (normally you'd mount a partititon like sda but this is a special case)
[09:58] <h00ked> rww: thx, I try it ;)
[09:58] <Galerien> UbuntuLily_: try the second option on this post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9218816
[09:58] <Galerien> UbuntuLily_: that's a clean install or an upgrade?
[09:59] <h00ked> rww: yep, it's working, thanks a lot :)
[09:59] <mixxit> jordan_u hmm needs a filesystem type
[09:59] <ubulucid> rww: i mean kubuntu-desktop (Kubuntu plasma desktop system). I dont want kubuntu blue screen to come, it should remain to ubuntu boot screen only, so which one i should install? I am learning to work on KDE.......
[10:00] <adel> rww: i tried using sudo nano but it gave me an empty box
[10:00] <rww> adel: /etc/grub/grub probably isn't the file you're looking for. /etc/default/grub, perhaps?
[10:00] <rww> ubulucid: Not sure. The #kubuntu channel might know better.
[10:01] <Yahweh> I get a segfault using rhythmbox in the function _nss_wins_gethostbyname_r()
[10:01] <Tangor> ok.. i will try to install 9.10server and upgrade it =(
[10:01] <Yahweh> any clues on how to fix this?
[10:01] <ubulucid> rww: Thanks for your time and help
[10:01] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Then it probably didn't work, you can try iso9660 but it probably won't work.
[10:01] <mixxit> -t iso9660 ?
[10:01] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Yes
[10:02] <mixxit> Jordan_U: wrong fs type
[10:02] <wahby> hi
[10:02] <Jordan_U> mixxit: The image wasn't written correctly, did you check the md5sum of the image?

[10:13] <Oer> ubuntunewbie, boot lucid with left SHIFT pressed, so you can enter grub, choose recovery, and remove repository ppa:k0ekk0ek/ppa
[10:13] <rww> minjoo: the button to remove a PPA in Launchpad just removes the external repository, not the internal references in Launchpad. See the bug report linked from that FAQ, especially comment #34.
[10:13] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Ok, if you get super grub2 disk dd'd to the hard drive you have two possabilies. 1: If you are really lucky and the option "Enable GRUB2's USB support *experimental*" doesn't just freeze your computer, then you can just stick an Ubuntu iso in /boot-isos/ on your flash drive and choose "Detect loop bootable isos (in /boot-isos or /boot/boot-isos)". Then just bask in your amazing luck while Ubuntu boots and you install as

[10:16] <vbman-w> hi i have a question how do i change my boot splash on kubuntu?
[10:17] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Option 2: Create a new partition on the hard drive (don't change anything with the first partition, while you can't mount it it's where super grub disk is stored) and put the iso in /boot-isos/ on this new partition. Super grub2 disk will almost certainl let you boot from this iso but I'm not sure if you'll be able to install from it since a partition on the hard drive will not be able to be unmounted since that's where

[10:30] <stevecam> am i the only one having problems with transmission?
[10:31] <polo> Galerien thanks i appreciate it
[10:31] <e-frame> i mean, that we don't have to hold the initiate button to view the cube deformation. or maybe there is a toggle for it.
[10:32] <stevecam> why is transmission included with ubuntu if it is broken?
[10:32] <Jordan_U> mixxit: What drives are listed by "ls /dev/sd* /dev/hd*" ?

[10:33] <mixxit> no such file for sd*
[10:34] <mixxit> same for hd
[10:34] <mixxit> but the crazy thing is it says /dev/sda no such file but i typed sd (notice the a missing)

[10:35] <Pirate_Hunter> lucid is not running .php files any more instead it outputs the context of the files in browser. I believe it has something to do with lighttpd which I currently edited for another package, however I do not know how to go about fixing this problem can any help?
[10:35] <Jordan_U> mixxit: It's probably a broken symlink. I just realized that the reason the cat seemed to work is that it just created a new regular file in /dev/ that just happened to be named /dev/hda.
[10:35] <adoul90> nibbier: i have open office, is the the best applicaiton?
[10:35] <b0n1> how can i change that back  nibbier  ?
[10:35] <mixxit> how come its still there are a restart?
[10:35] <ubuntunewbie> how to remove from repository ?

[10:36] <Oer> ubuntunewbie, sudo ppa-purge ppa:k0ekk0ek/ppa
[10:36] <nibbier> adoul90, its one of the better ones

[10:36] <ubuntunewbie> Oer: after that ?
[10:36] <adoul90> ok thx
[10:36] <sr_rules> b0n1 : To move them on the left use :-    gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
[10:36] <Jordan_U> mixxit: "ls -l /dev/sda", is it a symlink?
[10:36] <b0n1> and to move them on the right?
[10:36] <mixxit> no such file or directory
[10:36] <hal> does anyone know why this command does not work please?  wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
[10:36] <ubuntunewbie> Oer: I had a dual boot for 8.04 and lucid , so just type sudo ppa-purge ppa:k0ekk0ek/ppa will do ?
[10:36] <Name141> nibbier: xargs?

[10:37] <ubuntunewbie>  reboot again
[10:37] <sr_rules> for left  : gconftool-2 --unset /apps/metacity/general/button_layout
[10:37] <Name141> nibbier: Is shred really worth using ? How does it compare to DoD 7, etc?
[10:37] <Jordan_U> rushvision: Why?
[10:38] <rushvision> It's such a complex bootloader..
[10:38] <nibbier> Name141, no idea, its about overwriting bytes, isnt it?
[10:38] <rushvision> compared to it's dad
[10:38] <Name141> nibbier: I suppose
[10:38] <b0n1> sr_rules,  i ran that command, but nothing happens
[10:38] <adoul90> does ubuntu 10.04 come with a pdf editor?

[10:39] <Guest88056> Has anyone used kdenlive in ubuntu 10.04 with it fully working?
[10:39] <sr_rules> b0n1 : use the first one :- gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
[10:39] <rushvision> well, I dual booted xp no problem
[10:39] <sr_rules> to move to right
[10:39] <rushvision> used update-grub2
[10:39] <rushvision> worked like the site said it would
[10:39] <rushvision> then I started having issues when I tried to boot to it
[10:39] <adoul90> guyz, does 10.04 come with a pdf editor?
[10:39] <Jordan_U> mixxit: Then I unfortunately need to leave, you may want to write down my instructions in case you can get access to your hard drive to dd the image.
[10:39] <rushvision> then it didn't even show the list of entries

If it works then put an Ubunntu iso (standard "Desktop" CD is best) in /boot-iso/ on the flash drive and use "Detect loop bootable isos (in /boot-isos or /boot/boot-isos)" to boot from the iso. If enabling USB does not work then create a *new* partitioin (leaving

[11:04] <DJones> !ipod | karl Have you had a look at the guides that ubottu suggests
[11:04] <Guest88056> perlmonkey 0.7.7.1
[11:04] <perlmonkey> rocket16 yes several
[11:04] <karl> yes karmic
[11:04] <Omar87> rocket16, Thanks for asking that question, I'm looking for a decent one too.
[11:04] <rocket16> perlmonkey: Ah, thanks. But is there an open-source one?
[11:05] <rocket16> Omar87: No problem, :)
[11:05] <perlmonkey> rocket16 i remember using one but i cannot remember for the life of me now what it was called, it allowed you to alter the voice a lot
[11:05] <Linuxrevolution> hello
[11:05] <Linuxrevolution> Can I install any software from Ubuntu Live CD ?
[11:05] <jaapvisser> hi does anybody know a decent 'QR-code' generator (offline) program for Ubuntu?
[11:05] <Guest88056> seems may people have used a basic install for kdenlive with no problem but evertime i install it i have problems
[11:05] <perlmonkey> Guest88056 I'm about to upgrade to that version as I'm running 0.7.5 which is VERY buggy
[11:06] <Omar87> Can someone please help me with my nautilus elementary problem?
[11:06] <Remmaze> i just installed Clamav, but i seem to find it on my system, where does ubuntu store it?
[11:06] <perlmonkey> Guest88056 what kind of problems? it does have a lot of dependencies
[11:06] <Linuxrevolution> Can I install any software from Ubuntu Live CD ?
[11:06] <Guest88056> perlmonkey: i install it but get a blank "clip monitor" screen
[11:06] <ikonia> Linuxrevolution: you can, but when you reboot it will be gone
[11:07] <Linuxrevolution> ikonia: eh! why?
[11:07] <Guest88056> installed fine, with everything there but dont know why that does show
[11:07] <ikonia> Linuxrevolution: because the livecd runs in ram, and when you reboot it goes
[11:07] <perlmonkey> rocket16 how about eSpeak? I think that is what I used
[11:07] <ikonia> Linuxrevolution: sorry - just realised you said "from" the cd
[11:07] <Guest88056> without that kdenlive is a but useless
[11:07] <ikonia> Linuxrevolution: yes, you can, sorry, I miss-read that
[11:07] <rocket16> perlmonkey: Oh, thanks, :)
[11:08] <mochacocha> anyone here use an ipod w/ ubuntu?
[11:08] <perlmonkey> Guest88056 sounds like you have other packages missing
[11:08] <Linuxrevolution> ikonia: hey mate look! my friend has uninstalled openoffice
[11:08] <Linuxrevolution> ikonia: now he wanna install it from ubuntu live cd 10.04
[11:08] <perlmonkey> Guest88056 did you install from Synaptic?
[11:08] <Guest88056> perlmonkey: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[11:08] <Linuxrevolution> ikonia: can u please tell me how??
[11:08] <Remmaze> i just installed Clamav, but i cant seem to find it on my system, where does ubuntu store it?
[11:08] <geirha> Linuxrevolution: Not possible. The liveCD doesn't have openoffice packages.
[11:09] <Guest88056> from ubuntu software center
[11:09] <perlmonkey> Guest88056 9.10 (karmic) but I'm just in the process of upgrading to 10.04 (lucid) to get a newer kdenlive version
[11:09] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: but when u install ubuntu u have open office
[11:09] <ikonia> Linuxrevolution: oen the software sources tool, and click "cd" as a software source, it's that easy
[11:09] <geirha> Linuxrevolution: Yes, it copies the files directly from the live session. There's no room for both packages and the live system.
[11:10] <Linuxrevolution> ikonia: and it will add Live cd az a source?
[11:10] <mixxit> Jordan_U: no dd
[11:10] <Guest88056> perlmonkey: ok yeah, well i had the same issue with 9.10 so
[11:10] <geirha> Linuxrevolution: The alternate cd has packages
[11:10] <ikonia> Linuxrevolution: correct
[11:10] <Guest88056> think you should be ok with the upgrade if it is working already
[11:10] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: yes it has but is there any way to extract LIVE CD ?
[11:10] <DJones> ikonia: I could be wrong with this, I didn't think you could use the livecd as a software source, only the alternate install cd
[11:10] <Linuxrevolution> ikonia: geirha says it can not be as a source
[11:11] <meatbun> how to tell the network manager not to jump on 2nd wifi automatically, when 1st wifi dies
[11:11] <geirha> Linuxrevolution: It's doable, but waay too much work if you ask me. Better to just download the packages ...
[11:11] <mochacocha> ungodly lag, woah
[11:11] <Omar87> Hello?
[11:11] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: he can't download it
[11:11] <ikonia> DJones: sure you can
[11:11] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: because of his slow connection
[11:12] <Guest88056> perlmonkey: did you have most of it working at the moment?
[11:13] <geirha> !offline | Linuxrevolution
[11:13] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: mate! he has not an internet connection
[11:14] <perlmonkey> Guest88056 yes, everything works fine..but the only problem is the program is highly unstable, it crashes frequently
[11:14] <geirha> Linuxrevolution: So download the packages elsewhere and put them on a CD/memory stick
[11:14] <ubuntunewbie> Oer: it finall boot thanks , but I am having problem with some icon
[11:14] <ubuntunewbie> Oer: and constant lag
[11:14] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: ya this is the only way that he has
[11:15] <Oer> ubuntunewbie, icon problems, maybe a reset of panel will help
[11:15] <Oer> !resetpanels
[11:15] <geirha> Linuxrevolution: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript
[11:15] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: but in software source / ubuntu software Tab
[11:15] <ubuntunewbie> Oer: and one thing i experience , quite often sometimes i cant select the panel , it's like no response
[11:15] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: there is a source as: CDRom with ubuntu.... what's that?
[11:16] <h00ked> ok, I've a next problem with eggdrop, if I type make there is a lot of warnings, here is output: http://pastebin.com/RHA4RCF6
[11:16] <Guest88056> perlmonkey: do you know the packages that are needed for kdenlive to work fully?
[11:16] <geirha> Linuxrevolution: The liveCD contains some packages, mostly hardware driver packages, but no openoffice packages.
[11:16] <ubuntunewbie> 0er: click at show desktop doesn't response , I need to wait for like 5 min for it to response ,
[11:16] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: aha got it
[11:16] <h00ked> If I type make install DEST=/home/h00ked/eggdrop it fail.. :/
[11:16] <ubuntunewbie> 0er: even without compiz enable it is still like this
[11:17] <Linuxrevolution> geirha: thanks a lot :)
[11:17] <ubuntunewbie> 0er: what's the short cut for minimize window ?
[11:17] <geirha> Linuxrevolution: You're welcome :)
[11:17] <ubuntunewbie> 0er: i can't click this xchat irc client minimize , maximize or any thing
[11:17] <Linuxrevolution> ikonia: thank you mate
[11:18] <perlmonkey> Guest88056 http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Kdenlive/Getting_and_installing I think there's a list here
[11:18] <sverre> Hi, I have a problem with VPN (openvpn) on Network manager after upgrade to 10.04
[11:18] <Guest88056> thanks
[11:18] <DJones> ikonia: Cheers, I realised I was thinking of not being able to use the livecd to upgrade and only the alternate cd, sorry, my mistake

[11:21] <gaetano> list!
[11:22] <DeadPanda> Is there any way to deliberately fragment an EXT4 drive? (for an experiment)
[11:24] <b0n1> hi where can i ask questions about mutt and procmail ?
[11:25] <jetienne> q. where can i disable the lock screen when im idle ?
[11:26] <hal> how can I determine which version of ubuntu I'm using, please?
[11:26] <obscurant1st> i cannot resume from sleep, is there any solution for this?
[11:26] <obscurant1st> :o
[11:26] <DJones> !version | hal
[11:26] <hal> I'm either on 9.04 or 9.10 - I don't know which
[11:26] <perlmonkey> hal: lsb_release -a
[11:27] <perlmonkey> jetienne: settings -> screensaver
[11:27] <hal> cool, thanks DJones and perlmonkey
[11:27] <Wipster> jetienne, system -> prefs -> screensaver, untick lock screen
[11:27] <jetienne> perlmonkey: Wipster: thanks
[11:27] <obscurant1st> when i resume from sleep, all i get is a blank screen
[11:27] <obscurant1st> :(
[11:28] <perlmonkey> laptop?
[11:28] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, yep
[11:28] <perlmonkey> some resumes don't work too good, I have same problem with Toshiba Portege laptop
[11:28] <perlmonkey> there may be some tools to fix it
[11:28] <perlmonkey> depends on your laptop make and model
[11:29] <obscurant1st> oh, actually i used to close the lid when the battery becomes too low. then after the power comes when i open the lid it will giveme a blankl screen.
[11:29] <perlmonkey> yes I get the same
[11:29] <obscurant1st> my model is sony vaio vgn cr353
[11:29] <perlmonkey> I found no solution
[11:29] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, oh, :(, thats bad.
[11:30] <hellola> can you ctrl alt F1
[11:30] <obscurant1st> hellola, yes
[11:30] <obscurant1st> i can do that.
[11:30] <obscurant1st> now
[11:31] <Pirate_Hunter> I keep getting 404 error every time I try to connect to localhost through lightpd on  port 8080. lighttpd restarts without a problem so I cannot understand why I can't connect through its port can anyone suggest something
[11:31] <obscurant1st> but when i resume from sleep, nothin will work
[11:31]  * perlmonkey is upgrading to 10.04 and hope I don't get more bugs than I'm seeking to fix
[11:31] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, i am on 10.04 right now!
[11:31] <perlmonkey> how is it?
[11:31] <Gimpexe> DrGrain , ok it seems like it is possible
[11:31] <obscurant1st> its good, less boot time n all. but this resume problem is still there!
[11:32] <perlmonkey> ah
[11:32] <Gimpexe> DrGrain, read about running multiple X sessions in different physical terminals here: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/multiple-x.html
[11:32] <perlmonkey> I think the resume problem must come down to different hardware variations
[11:32] <hal> the google repo returns a not found error.  http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/apt.html  is this because I am accessing it via a standard browser?
[11:32] <perlmonkey> there doesn't seem to be "one solution" for all laptops
[11:32] <Gimpexe> DrGrain, in each of these X sessions, run a different WM
[11:32] <obscurant1st> another thing is, hen i was using karmic, i think sometime this resume thing used to work. now in lucid, tttttttttttttttttttttttttttill now it never worked.
[11:32] <obscurant1st> :(
[11:32] <hellola> obscurant1st, maybe x is just not starting? ps aux | grep Xorg
[11:33] <obscurant1st> sorry for the ttt, i am suing synergy! :(
[11:33] <perlmonkey> obscurantlst my experience was same, some versions in the past just "worked" and then upgrades broke it
[11:33] <Gimpexe> DryGrain*
[11:33] <perlmonkey> its annoying
[11:33] <obscurant1st> hellola, when i am supposed to type this, now?
[11:33] <obscurant1st> :o
[11:33] <obscurant1st> or after trying that resuming once again?
[11:33] <oni_> The headphones do not work on my laptop with ubuntu
[11:33] <perlmonkey> obscurant1st all you can do is file a bug for your hardware and hope they can fix it again
[11:33] <oni_> I have a Dell Studio 1747
[11:34] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, how can i file a bug, i never done that before!
[11:34] <DryGrain> Gimpexe,
[11:34] <obscurant1st> hellola, 1000      3165  0.0  0.0   3124   800 pts/0    S+   16:04   0:00 grep --color=auto Xorg
[11:34] <hellola> obscurant1st, when it's black after resume go to tty1 (ctrl alt F1) login and then see if there's an X running
[11:34] <obscurant1st> this is the answer
[11:35] <obscurant1st> no ctrl_alt f* fill not work!
[11:35] <obscurant1st> will*
[11:35] <perlmonkey> there is a website for bug reports?
[11:35] <rocket16> oni_: Does the entire set cease to work? Or only the Microphone?
[11:35] <Gimpexe> DryGrain, it is possible, we can run multiple X sessions in different physical terminals
[11:36] <oni_> rocket16 I havn't tried the microphone
[11:36] <oni_> Speakers work
[11:36] <Gimpexe> DryGrain, and in each X session run a different WM
[11:36] <perlmonkey> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs
[11:36] <oni_> Only the headphones dont
[11:36] <DryGrain> yes!
[11:36] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, ok.
[11:36] <perlmonkey> first search the bug report archive to see if the bug is known
[11:36] <Gimpexe> DryGrain,http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/multiple-x.html
[11:36] <oni_> I just need a driver I think
[11:36] <perlmonkey> there may even be solutions for temporary fix
[11:36] <DryGrain> exactly Gimpexe
[11:36] <hellola> obscurant1st,  ah if you can't ctrl alt F* then i'm not sure, outside my experience
[11:37] <Gimpexe> DryGrain, awesome, thanks for your help
[11:37] <rocket16> oni_: No problem, click the Sound icon, select Sound Preferences, go to Output Tab, and see if everything is all right or not.
[11:37] <perlmonkey> our OS has many bugs
[11:37] <DryGrain> Gimpexe, cool, I'm glad that worked out :)\
[11:37] <perlmonkey> but its better than Windows still
[11:37] <obscurant1st> hellola, ok, thx for trying though!
[11:37] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, i hate win*
[11:37] <obscurant1st> mac is better than windows!
[11:38] <Docolero> obscurant1st, perlmonkey the suspend-problem is filed under 568711
[11:38] <perlmonkey> the hardware will run better in Windows because most is designed for windows
[11:38] <oni_> rocket16, may I pm you so I can send screenshots?
[11:38] <sverre> Hi, I have a problem with VPN (openvpn) on Network manager after upgrade to 10.04 it turns deadly slow (7sec delay on ssh), anyone have a clue?
[11:38] <perlmonkey> but Linux is superior OS
[11:38] <rocket16> oni_: Sure
[11:38] <rocket16> perlmonkey: Yes, Linux is the best!
[11:38] <perlmonkey> I can do many things in Linux I cannot do in Windows
[11:38] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, i hv installed mac in my Laptop, only problm is my Wifi wont work, everything else works awesome!
[11:39] <perlmonkey> wifi is a common problem on laptops
[11:39] <perlmonkey> maybe you can fix it
[11:39] <obscurant1st> windows is for gaming!
[11:39] <obscurant1st> and now with wine, we can game in linux also!
[11:39] <rocket16> obscurant1st: Yes!
[11:39] <obscurant1st> so i removed windows completely!! :)
[11:39] <perlmonkey> I have a new problem on my laptop the wifi disconnects every few minutes and reconnects
[11:39] <DryGrain> wine is for gaming
[11:40] <DryGrain> ;)
[11:40] <Angel_Tears> erm i have a simple question -i think-
[11:40] <DryGrain> 'and now'?
[11:40] <obscurant1st> Docolero, so i dont hvae to file abug right?
[11:40] <obscurant1st> since its already there?
[11:40] <sverre> Hi there, does anyone here know anything about openvpn on network-manager?
[11:40] <Docolero> obscurant1st, right
[11:40] <perlmonkey> no need to file it again, but you can comment and say its a problem for you also if you like
[11:40] <obscurant1st> ok, thnx
[11:40] <Angel_Tears> any1 wanna answer a simple question about ubuntu 9.1 ?
[11:41] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, yeah i had that problm once, at that time i switched to wicd.
[11:41] <perlmonkey> the more people who comment and confirm the bug, the more likely the developers will be to fix it priority
[11:41] <meatbun> how to tell the network manager not to jump on 2nd wifi automatically, when 1st wifi dies
[11:41] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, yeah, i am gonna comment for sure!
[11:41] <obscurant1st> :)
[11:41] <DryGrain> !ask | Angel_Tears
[11:42] <Angel_Tears> lolz ubottu ok i wanna change the computer username thats all.
[11:42] <sverre> ubottu so if no one answer should one repeat, or go buy a mac?
[11:42] <sverre> he he good one
[11:42] <Angel_Tears> lol
[11:43] <danielsh> (asking again) is it possible to flush the nscd DNS cache without root access?
[11:43] <perlmonkey> Angel_Tears http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-change-rename-user-name-id/
[11:43] <DryGrain> Angel_Tears, you want to adduser
[11:43] <DryGrain> listen to perlmonkey not me, never mind
[11:44] <DryGrain> :)
[11:44] <Svr_Sakura> is there a way to make it so that midori doesn't switch to the new tab when you open on1?
[11:44] <Angel_Tears> DryGrain no just simply change my username just like the website perlmonkey gave me
[11:44] <DryGrain> Right, i misread your question
[11:44] <perlmonkey> maybe it's possible in the frontend Settings -> Users and Groups?
[11:45] <Angel_Tears> np
[11:45] <Angel_Tears> no perlmonkey i can only change my name there
[11:45] <perlmonkey> ok
[11:46] <Angel_Tears> i tried what it says in the website and what i come up with is " user [********] does not exist
[11:46] <DryGrain> what do you want to change? your login name?
[11:46] <Angel_Tears> yes
[11:46] <perlmonkey> 1hr 26min until upgrade install is completed :-/
[11:47] <Angel_Tears> sudo usermod -l [old username] [new username ] <<< did not work it says the user does not exist
[11:47] <rocket16> Is there a Virtual Surround Sound setting for Ubuntu? (I wish to get richer Sound experience using my new Headphone)
[11:48] <perlmonkey> strange
[11:48] <Angel_Tears> should i write the old username as *******@ubuntu ?
[11:49] <perlmonkey> Angel_Tears I think you did it the wrong way around
[11:49] <sverre> I have to write my password twice each time I log in, or run su or such.. very annoying, any trix how to fix this?
[11:49] <perlmonkey> new-name comes first, old-name second
[11:49] <DryGrain> it is case sensitive Angel_Tears
[11:49] <DryGrain> no
[11:49] <perlmonkey> yes case sensitive
[11:49] <Angel_Tears> i know i know and yes DryGrain its new name first and old name second
[11:49] <Angel_Tears> sorry about that line i replaced them
[11:50] <DryGrain> hmm
[11:50] <theadmin> I can't add a user! adduser: /home/guest already exists, rm: /home/guest not found
[11:50] <DryGrain> sverre, having to enter the root password before certain actions is a security measure
[11:51] <DryGrain> guest is a default user and group i believe
[11:51] <sverre> DryGrain thanks I know that,,.. but why do I have to enter it twice (2 times) each time
[11:51] <theadmin> DryGrain: No
[11:51] <doktoreas> hello everybody While building a package, I recive this error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxslt Am I missing something?
[11:51] <sverre> in fact in login, I kan just press enter on the first one, and my password on the second one and I can log in.
[11:52] <DryGrain> that is odd
[11:52] <perlmonkey> my laptop has a fingerprint scanner instead of login, but it's not supported in Linux
[11:52] <Svr_Sakura> fprintd doesn't work?
[11:52] <perlmonkey> wow Linux has it?
[11:52] <perlmonkey> I never knew
[11:52] <theadmin> ubottu: who
[11:53] <DryGrain> that is neat perlmonkey
[11:53] <DryGrain> write a driver for it
[11:53] <DryGrain> :)
[11:53] <perlmonkey> :D
[11:53] <DryGrain> !who
[11:53] <perlmonkey> sorry
[11:53] <DryGrain> D:
[11:54] <DryGrain> i am failing at support lol
[11:54] <perlmonkey> I am failing at life :P
[11:54] <DryGrain> s'ok
[11:54] <DryGrain> i'll get over it
[11:54] <Angel_Tears> i am failing at changing my username
[11:54] <DryGrain> someone will have an easy question soon
[11:54] <DryGrain> :)
[11:54] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: That's simple.
[11:54] <Angel_Tears> DryGrain: i do!
[11:54] <DryGrain> me too
[11:54] <Angel_Tears> theadmin: then tell me how
[11:54] <DryGrain> but hey at least you know perl
[11:55] <DryGrain> youve got that going for you
[11:55] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: sudo usermod -l newname oldname
[11:55]  * perlmonkey loves perl
[11:55] <DryGrain> I thought you did too Angel_Tears
[11:55] <Angel_Tears> theadmin: didnt work
[11:55] <Angel_Tears> DryGrain: :|
[11:55] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: Supposed to... hm... Your nickname looks somewhat familiar o_O
[11:55] <Angel_Tears> theadmin: o.O
[11:56] <Angel_Tears> so the sudo usermod -l newname oldname didnt work
[11:56] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: Okay, just how it doesn't work?
[11:56] <Angel_Tears> now what
[11:56] <Angel_Tears> theadmin: it says the user does not exist
[11:56] <Angel_Tears> the old username
[11:57] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: Note: You can't modify a user while logged in as it
[11:57] <Angel_Tears> theadmin: :|
[11:57] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: Are you sure you type it properly? Try this: sudo usermod -l newname $USER
[11:57] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: Assuming that logged in as that user though
[11:57] <Angel_Tears> so i should create a new user in order to change this 1?
[11:57] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: You'll have to re-login if you change current user
[11:58] <Angel_Tears> but it says error user does not exist
[11:58] <Angel_Tears> or it doesnt matter?
[11:58] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: Well. Basically, it may or may not work, I dunno... deluser doesn't work with current user :P
[11:58] <Angel_Tears> theadmin: lol
[11:58] <Angel_Tears> ok thx for the tip
[11:58] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: usermod should though. Allright, once again, try "sudo usermod newname $USER"
[11:58] <Angel_Tears> will try with a new user when am done
[11:59] <zcat[1]> I'd have used (as root) sed -i s/oldname/newname/ /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow; mv /home/oldname /home/newname
[11:59] <Angel_Tears> kk
[11:59] <theadmin> zcat[1]: Woah
[11:59] <theadmin> zcat[1]: That's quite a strange way to do it :P
[11:59] <zcat[1]> Yeah
[11:59] <zcat[1]> and if anything else happens to match the username, it would really mess things up ;)
[11:59] <Angel_Tears> theadmin: *usermod: no flags given*
[12:00] <theadmin> Angel_Tears: What? o_O
[12:00] <rocket16> My friend has a 320 GB Harddisk (External), and he has 250 GB data stored in that (can not be backed up). And, he installed Ubuntu in 2 partitions, in one he entered the /boot and in the other, he installed the System. Now, when he starts, it shows "grub puts not found". What is the way out, other than reinstalling Sstem?
[12:00] <Angel_Tears> theadmin: same feeling here
[12:00] <obscurant1st> how do i knw whether my processor is 64 bit?
[12:00] <obscurant1st> :o

[12:08] <ubulucid> Hi! How to set theme in kde session?
[12:09] <ubulucid> sorry for that
[12:09] <perlmonkey> obscurantlst that's to tell if the kernel and OS is 64bit, if you want to check hardware grep the dmesg | grep 64bit I'm sure there is a better way also.
[12:09] <dentoo> anyone  knows how do i get Helvetica font to my system?
[12:10] <Soyo> !font
[12:10] <perlmonkey> obscurant1st: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[12:10] <Angel_Tears> ok i tried a new user and it said that the user is not in the sudoers folder and it will be reported or something o.O

[12:12] <obscurant1st> my currently installed os is 32 bit!
[12:13] <Soyo> !changethemes
[12:13] <perlmonkey> obscurant1st try cat /proc/cpuinfo to see if it's a 64-bit CPU
[12:13] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, that command gv me clflush size	: 64
[12:13] <obscurant1st> does that mean its 64 bit.
[12:13] <obscurant1st> there are lots of info in that, i dont know which one to check.
[12:14] <perlmonkey> obscurant1st: uname -m will show you
[12:14] <Angel_Tears> perlmonkey i tried from a new user and it didnt work
[12:14] <perlmonkey> if it says X86_64 it's 64-bit
[12:15] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, it says i686, but its for the kernel info right? my installation is 32 bit!
[12:15] <obscurant1st>  Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T8100  @ 2.10GHz
[12:15] <perlmonkey> Angel_Tears: I see. I don't think you can change the username if you're logged in as that user already. you have to create a new user
[12:15] <Angel_Tears> perlmonkey: i already made a new user and tried from there
[12:16] <alekto> Do anybody have a invite for the norwegian private torrent site norbits.net?

[12:17] <perlmonkey> Angel_Tears oops
[12:17] <daubers> win close
[12:18] <perlmonkey> obscurant1st it's a 64-bit CPU you got there, you could install 64-bit OS
[12:19] <perlmonkey> I'm running AMD dual core 64-bit
[12:19] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, how u said that?? just by the name of my processor?
[12:19] <obscurant1st> :o
[12:19] <perlmonkey> yes
[12:19] <Angel_Tears> brb
[12:20] <obscurant1st> oh,ok. so all core2duo is 64 bit only?
[12:20] <perlmonkey> no but the model T8100 is 64-bit
[12:20] <obscurant1st> oh. ok, thx
[12:20] <obscurant1st> perlmonkey, so just wondering, whether intel is making any 32 bit processor nowadays?
[12:20] <perlmonkey> sure

[12:34] <chouchou> I am facing permission errors whenever I am getting to connect to my UBUntu PC
[12:34] <chouchou> via ftp
[12:35] <chouchou> soI want to grant access to everyone....
[12:35] <hitah> chmod the files

[12:35] <Soyo> chouchou how do you have the permissions set now?
[12:36] <g_> hitah, what language do you use in the desktop?
[12:36] <hitah> chouchou: chmod -r a+r
[12:36] <chouchou> well I am using nautilus to set the permission and I noticed only pat of the group has account set others do not have
[12:36] <hitah> g_: english, maybe you didnt understand my question?
[12:36] <hitah> the menu bars Crashed
[12:36] <g_> hitah, ah menu bars
[12:37] <Venker> hi there
[12:37] <chouchou> hitah: ah, should I use the posted command ?
[12:37] <hitah> Ive come to this problem many times.
[12:37] <g_> hitah, have you tried to restart gnome-panel?
[12:37] <hitah> chouchou: second
[12:37] <Venker> could someone tell me which amsn version is newer? 0.98.3-0ubuntu1 (Ubuntu Lucid) or 0.98.3-0~llamsn1?    I've got this line in my sources.list:     deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/amsn-daily/ppa/ubuntu lucid main  (I dist-upgraded to Lucid yesterday)

[12:38] <hitah> chouchou: cd /path/to/folder && chmod -R a+r
[12:38] <hueblur> Good morning.  I am on my laptop with an additional external monitor.  KMS makes the external default when it is to the left of my lappy, and my lappy is default when /it/ is on the left.  I want to set the lappy to be default when it is on the right but xorg settings confuse me.  Where can I look for more information?
[12:38] <chouchou> ok,
[12:38] <hitah> g_: yes
[12:39] <Venker> Oer, but maybe they are slightly different... could be?
[12:39] <Oer> Venker, i don't think so, why ?
[12:39] <g_> hitah, ok, lets see main menu?
[12:39] <Venker> Oer, revision numbers I think
[12:40] <chouchou> hitah: so meaning this applies to all contents of www files or www folder
[12:40] <g_> hitah, rightclick the panel and select add to panel then search for main menu
[12:40] <chouchou> ?
[12:40] <Venker> because amsn is not working very good since the dist-upgrade
[12:40] <chouchou> I want to chmod www folder
[12:40] <hitah> g_: gnome-panel has crashed, i cant recover it
[12:40] <hitah> this is the problem, actually
[12:40] <chouchou> location :var/www
[12:40] <Venker> it does not display the amsn icon in the task bar
[12:41] <g_> hitah, ok and you did "pkill -9 gnome-panel ; gnome-panel &"
[12:41] <chouchou> hitah: any suggestion ?
[12:41] <Venker> it does not display which contacts did delete mine
[12:41] <chouchou> I can see hitah is busy, anyone has an idea pls ?
[12:41] <hitah> chouchou: cd /var/www && chmod -R a+r
[12:41] <hitah> 4th time i said it duh

[12:43] <hitah> gnome-screensaver?
[12:43] <Jimi_Neutral> Hi Guys, I want to use WOL. It is on according to the mobo but when I turn off my laptop I see no activity lights on the ethernet port. Anyone know what I can do to resolve this?
[12:43] <g_> hitah, try this, ctrl-alt f1 then log in then do "sudo service gdm restart"
[12:43] <chouchou> hitah: I had this error
[12:43] <chouchou> chmod: missing operand after `a+r'
[12:43] <hitah> did you do -R?
[12:43] <hitah> chmod -R a+r
[12:43] <hitah> oh
[12:43] <chouchou> root@ubuntu:/# cd /var/www && chmod -R a+r
[12:43] <hitah> try          chmod -R a+r ./
[12:44] <Lint01> any lubuntu users here?
[12:45] <chouchou> ok done let me check
[12:45] <Gyro54> Hi! I have upgraded  my visual effects to "Extra" and have lost my volume control and the keyboard volume control buttons don't work? Any ideas?
[12:46] <Lint01> Gyro54, I don;t believe it's related
[12:46] <kc-net> gfhsdgtht
[12:46] <chouchou> it doen't work stil when using my end user account
[12:46] <chouchou> what od i do pls ?
[12:47] <g_> chouchou, you must give it the a+rw not a+r
[12:47] <Gyro54> Lint01: How can I add a volume control? The add to panel doesnt have one?
[12:47] <g_> a means everyone group and user, r means read, w means write

[12:48] <hittt> the last session had ALOT of issues, gnome-panel was dead, i couldnt switch to tty's and all
[12:49] <hittt> It works, but the problem is 'how to solve it without a restart'
[12:49] <hittt> s/is/was/
[12:49] <Lint01> Gyro54, sorry, I don't use Gnome
[12:49] <Gyro54> Thanks
[12:50] <dft> hi
[12:50] <dft> when it says in a bug report "Declined  for Lucid  by Bryce Harrington", does that mean that the bug will not be fixed in lucid?
[12:51] <jesperv> Hi, i'm looking for a new computer but can't decide on a new graphics card. How are the open-source drivers for nvidia and amd cards at the moment?
[12:51] <maco> dft: another eveloper could overrule that, but likely wont
[12:51] <dft> oh godd
[12:51] <dft> *good
[12:51] <g_> hittt, did you try the command I gave you "pkill -9 gnome-panel ; gnome-panel &"
[12:52] <maco> dft: we fix things in the development version (maverick right now) and rather rarely in stable releases like lucid
[12:52] <g_> it should restart gnome-panel
[12:52] <hittt> g_ i used `killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel` yesterday
[12:52] <hittt> it didnt seem to work either
[12:52] <hittt> and actually i need to kill it lots of times,
[12:52] <dft> so i'll have to wait till october to have a sane multi-monitor support?
[12:52] <maco> dft: major problems or problems for which the patch is very small and non-invasive are the ones that get fixed in stable releases
[12:53] <dft> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/563100
[12:53] <dft> it's this one
[12:53] <g_> hittt, maby killall don't kill it good enough :)
[12:53] <MindSpark> hi, how do I install apt-get and aptitude ?
[12:53] <dft> the fix is changing a variable declaration vom unsigned to signed, appearently
[12:53] <dft> and this won't happen?!
[12:53] <hittt> g_: it did, since it said "no such process blah blah"
[12:53] <[4-tea-2]> Howdy. I want to run the 10.4 live cd on a Samsung notebook with a weird Nvidia chipset. When I try, the display goes black after booting the kernel and stays black. Is there a boot option to force Ubuntu to stick with VGA or something like that?
[12:53] <geirha> MindSpark: apt-get install apt-get
[12:54] <geirha> MindSpark: Hehe, I'm kidding of course. They should be pre-installed
[12:54] <MindSpark> geirha, what if they're not ?
[12:54] <MindSpark> it's a dedicated server
[12:54] <naveen519> Hii Nitesh
[12:54] <geirha> MindSpark: Then it's not Ubuntu ...
[12:54] <nitesh> naveen519, hi
[12:55] <maco> dft: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/563100/comments/6  bryce explained this
[12:55] <b0n1> hi how can i get nbsmtp ?
[12:55] <g_> gnome-panel crashes not just the main menu?
[12:55] <[4-tea-2]> Bueller?
[12:55] <b0n1> sudo apt-get install nbsmtp doesnt work and also with synaptic its not working
[12:55] <[4-tea-2]> Anybody?
[12:55] <MindSpark> geirha, how do I find out if it's ubuntu or not ?
[12:55] <maco> dft: or was the int/uint thing found after he said that? if so, i'll poke him to have another look
[12:55] <b0n1> is it outdated?
[12:55] <dft> found after that
[12:56] <geirha> MindSpark: lsb_release -a
[12:56] <dft> at least due to the comments
[12:56] <g_> hittt,  gnome-panel crashes not just the main menu?
[12:56] <dft> it seems to be a problem with xorg(xerver?)
[12:56] <MindSpark> geirha, dammit ! it's centos, thanks !
[12:56] <nitesh> naveen519:hi
[12:56] <geirha> MindSpark: Hehe, then it's probably yast instead of apt-get
[12:57] <geirha> MindSpark: or yum
[12:57] <MindSpark> there's rpm
[12:57] <dft> they can't handle negative mouse coordinates, so you can't place a screen left of or under screen0
[12:57] <MindSpark> I think centos is rh based
[12:57] <maco> dft: though bob freemer's wrong. nouveau isnt advertised as having 3d support, but it does for certain cards ;-)  (the ones the developers have physical access to)
[12:57] <geirha> MindSpark: It is. So it uses rpm instead of dpkg, and yum instead of apt-get I think.
[12:57] <dft> so a three monitor setup is unpractical
[12:57] <naveen519> yeah nitesh, how are you doing ?
[12:58] <geirha> MindSpark: Though there's probably a #centos channel that knows more about that than me :)
[12:58] <maco> dft: alright, i'll ask bryce to give it another look
[12:59] <kaseano> hi, is there a way to set it up so I dont have to run export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib every reboot?
[12:59] <[4-tea-2]> Well, I'll try the Alternate installer then. Thanks for your advice, everybody.
[12:59] <MindSpark> geirha, I am not even going to go there. looks like a mistake by the provider, thanks again
[13:00] <dft> cool, thanks maco
[13:00] <[4-tea-2]> kaseano: /etc/ld.so.conf ?
[13:01] <kaseano> I'll try that thx [4-tea-2]
[13:02] <cheater99> hi
[13:03] <Axz> Guys how to activate browse mode in Nautilus
[13:03] <cheater99> how can i specifically download all updates for my packages without installing them?
[13:03] <[4-tea-2]> cheater99: "aptitude --download-only update" or something like that... check the man page for aptitude.
[13:04] <cheater99> OK
[13:04] <cheater99> is there a gui tool that does that too?
[13:04] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[13:04] <EvaLuaTe> I'm using ubuntu with wicd and wireless connections take very long to connect after login. Is this a knowkn problem?
[13:05] <coz_> cheater99,  you could set that in synaptic I believe... let me check if its still there
[13:05] <cheater99> coz_, i don't know how to download updates in synaptic
[13:05]  * cheater99 googles for it
[13:05] <[4-tea-2]> cheater99: the correct command line would be "sudo aptitude --download-only upgrade" (or dist-upgrade or safe-upgrade, depending on your version of Ubuntu)
[13:06] <cheater99> it's 9.10
[13:06] <coz_> cheater99,  well once you open synaptic...hit  Mark all upgrades   then after clicking "Apply"  a dialog opens to show which updates will be downloaded and on that dialog is a tick box for "Download package files only"
[13:06] <[4-tea-2]> There you go.
[13:06] <cheater99> coz_, but that marks all packages from the repository, no?
[13:07] <strange> !controls
[13:07] <coz_> cheater99,  not sure what you mean?
[13:07] <coz_> cheater99,  it will only mark the updates available at that moment
[13:07] <b0n1> hi how can i install a programm from the source univese?
[13:07] <b0n1> apt-get install ... right?
[13:07] <cheater99> oh
[13:07] <cheater99> i thought it would mark all the items on the list in the right panel
[13:08] <cheater99> but that's not what it does, right?

[13:19] <dheym> any general sulotions?
[13:20] <geirha> b0n1: Could be. Try switching to main server in Software Sources, and see if that changes anything.
[13:20] <Toaday> dheym, At what point does it freeze?
[13:20] <b0n1> allright
[13:20] <dheym> toaday, at login, the keyring displays first and it doesnt cpmpletley freezez but goes in circles and isnt usable
[13:21] <dheym> automatic login is enabled
[13:22] <Toaday> dheym, Ah. I had an issue with the keyring and automatic login too when I first went to 10.04
[13:22] <Toaday> dheym, my solution is to remove the password from the keyring
[13:23] <dheym> from console then?
[13:23] <Toaday> Yeah, but I'm not sure how to do that
[13:23] <dheym> can i close x/gnome in anyway so it doesnt run in background and the computer gets slow?
[13:24] <Toaday> Have you tried Ctrl-Alt-Backspace?

[13:27] <ni1s> Human-Bean, lsusb
[13:27] <b0n1> geirha,  shall i install it with make ?
[13:27] <Toaday> jesperv, My understanding is that Nvidia cards have much more support in Linux
[13:28] <geirha> b0n1: That'll probably take longer than debugging why apt isn't working.
[13:28] <Human-Bean> ni1s: that give me something but I need /dev/. . ..
[13:28] <Robert_Zenz> Does somebody know how to rotate the input of a TouchPack touchscreen?

[14:02] <linux> plz help some one
[14:02] <chilli0> linux, What is wrong?
[14:02] <Pazy> Slart: No window appears for alacarte just what looks like errors, the first line has the word "Traceback" and the last line "expat.ExpatError: No element found".
[14:03] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : what do you mean login logout?

[14:03] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, Just log out? Then log back in? ( of ubuntu, this user what ever)
[14:04] <Slart> Pazy: hmm.. that doesn't sound very good
[14:04] <chilli0> linux, So its a windows problem, bug them about it.
[14:04] <progre55>  how can I format an ext4 formatted hard into fat32? gparted does not allow it as it used to be an old hard-drive with karmic on it from my old laptop..
[14:05] <linux> chilli0, it all happen after installing ubuntu
[14:05] <Pazy> Slart: If it helps I pasted the output here: http://pastebin.com/Vi2kgxKz
[14:05] <anonymouse> progre55, did you run gparted as root
[14:05] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : thanks !! :-) it works
[14:05] <chilli0> linux, This has nothing to do with ubunut, if you cant boot a xp cd it has nothing to do with us.
[14:05] <Slart> progre55: I don't think gparted cares if the harddrive is old or what you had on it before.. formatting to fat32 should work regardless
[14:05] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, No problems =]
[14:05] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : any fix on the icon part ?
[14:05] <Galerien> linux: sorry for the delay
[14:05] <progre55> anonymouse: I did
[14:05] <scunizi> If I "startx -- :1" for a new x session.. how do I switch back and forth between the two?
[14:05] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, It looks like its the same for everyone...
[14:06] <Galerien> linux: well, I have no idea how to fix your problem... sorry about that :s
[14:06] <progre55> Slart: but the "format to", "delete", etc buttons are disabled
[14:06] <sunmao> hi
[14:06] <sunmao> Please somebody help me.. i have got an url and I wouldl liek to download the source code of this page (its and xml page) with wget but It downloads only the url name here is the url: http://tv.animare.hu/rssfeed.aspx?tartalom=aktualistvmusor&tvcsatorna=5 and what needs to me rss_feed.xml
[14:06] <Slart> Pazy: just to get this out of the way.. you have tried rebooting?
[14:06] <Slart> progre55: is the drive mounted?
[14:06] <linux> Galerien, no problem thnx
[14:06] <progre55> Slart, yeah, should I unmount it first?
[14:06] <wise_crypt> linux: check your cd and your bios configuration is it allow you to boot from cd you might also visit this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub and write some impartant part
[14:06] <Pazy> Slart: A few times, ive had the problem for about a day and a half.
[14:06] <Slart> progre55: yes
[14:07] <progre55> oh okay
[14:07] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : now second problem icon part
[14:07] <progre55> sec
[14:07] <chilli0> Galerien, He hasn't properly said what his problem is. But i think he just doesn't know how to set his boot devices.
[14:07] <Pazy> Slart: Potentially I could just reinstall the entire operating system but learning seems like a better option.
[14:07] <scunizi> linux: it's always recommended to install windows first then ubuntu.. if your cd won't boot now remember you have to do it from a power off state.. or on a restart
[14:07] <cretsiah> and if tis a dell good luck :)
[14:07] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, The icon's are the same for me also. I'm guessing that everyone has those icons missing.
[14:07] <Slart> Pazy: anything special happen before these problems started? disk problems? installed anything?
[14:08] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : it get missing even on firefox too
[14:08] <Pazy> Slart: I dont remember doing any special, I think I was editing a document in openoffice for a few hours.
[14:08] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, O= so its quite a lot of things?
[14:08] <linux> scunizi, is it option of bios
[14:08] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : not sure yours , but try and havea  look at file tools view and etc
[14:08] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : i had even another problem , 3rd one .
[14:09] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, Yeh , so is it missing icons from programs that you have installed? or just some of the ones that came default?
[14:09] <Slart> Pazy: would getting the standard menus back help you? or you've installed lots and lots of software?
[14:09] <chilli0> And I have no clue how to fix the last one =s
[14:09] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : when you keep on tabbing right click and left click on desktop.It'll get hang
[14:09] <marccc^_> hi all
[14:09] <marccc^_> i'm trying to do a install with kickstart
[14:10] <marccc^_> but it looks like the cdrom is not mounting
[14:10] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : program icon shows well
[14:10] <Pazy> Slart: The only thing important, personally, I installed was Pidgin and Opera. I could live with manually putting them the menu's/
[14:10] <marccc^_> i'm using ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg option
[14:10] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : i mean the firefox
[14:10] <marccc^_> but is complaning at boot time that it can find ks.cfg
[14:10] <scunizi> linux: with the cd as the first boot option..?  yes..
[14:10] <marccc^_> while its in the root of the cd
[14:10] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, ok. Ill see if I can find where it should be located.
[14:10] <linux> scunizi, is it possible to delete all partition from ubuntu livecd and make unallocated
[14:10] <Galerien> linux: yes
[14:11] <linux> scunizi, how plz tell me
[14:11] <linux> Galerien, how
[14:11] <Galerien> linux: you have tu umount the partitions you want to touch, and then use gparted
[14:11] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : for firefox http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/773/ffic.png
[14:11] <chilli0> Galerien,  There is a much easyer way to do it.
[14:11] <Galerien> linux: alt + f2 ==> gksu gparted
[14:12] <Galerien> chilli0: maybe :D
[14:12] <Galerien> enlight me
[14:12] <linux> how can i unmount filesystem where ubuntu is install
[14:12] <marccc^_> any every used kickstart of install?
[14:12] <wise_crypt> !linux : try to read this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man8/fdisk.8.html
[14:12] <Galerien> linux: sudo umount -a
[14:12] <wise_crypt> linux : try to read this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man8/fdisk.8.html
[14:12] <Slart> Pazy: try this.. open a terminal and run     sudo debconf gnome-panel
[14:12] <linux> i wanna delete all partition including ubuntu
[14:13] <chilli0> Galerien, Well , find out how he is trying to run the xp cd. I'm guessing its not going to that and going to grub ( witch means that he just needs to boot from cd not first hard drive)
[14:13] <anonymouse> marccc^_, nope sorry
[14:13] <chilli0> then he can remove all partions from the live cd
[14:13] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, Whats wrong there?
[14:13] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : you compare yours ,
[14:13] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : sure there are some small icon there
[14:14] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, None on mine =O
[14:14] <Core|School> holey shit

[14:14] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : you too missing ?
[14:14] <Core|School> Umm how many people are in here
[14:14] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, I'm guessing they have added the spaces to make it look more orognised?
[14:14] <Pazy> Slart: That totally brought it back, everything including the non-standard items. Though the terminal shows an error about not connecting to session manager and getting the owner of "org.gnome.SessionManager". Does it seem important? Im content to ignore it.
[14:14] <linux> wise_crypt, no on hdd
[14:14] <progre55> hmm.. now that I have formatted my drive into fat32, I cannot copy/paste files into it, and there are no read/write permissions for the group and others, just for the user.. suggestions?
[14:15] <Slart> Core|School: 1586 last time I checked
[14:15] <faryshta> Hi, I downloaded videos with ending .avi.0 and .avi.1 how can I see them?
[14:15] <chilli0> Yeh i have missing also. But i never really used ff so idk how it was in 9.04
[14:15] <Slart> Pazy: nah.. I think you'll be ok regardless of that error
[14:15] <chilli0> faryshta, Should just open ubuntu doesnt really care with extentions.
[14:15] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : there much be icon overthere
[14:15] <wise_crypt> linux: ok do you have the livecd ?
[14:15] <Pazy> Slart: Then thanks very much for your help, I can now get back to using my my O/S with confidence.
[14:15] <keebod> Hello guys...
[14:15] <linux> yes
[14:16] <Slart> Pazy: you're welcome
[14:16] <faryshta> chilli0, well it could read the first one but the second one trows an error. Those are supposed to be two halves of the same video.
[14:16] <linux> wise_crypt, yes
[14:16] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : example http://images.howtoforge.com/images/newbie_friendly_post_installation_ubuntu_usability_setup_guide/035-firefox_file_quit.png
[14:16] <chilli0> faryshta, I'm guessing there is something wrong with the file then ? tryed it in another program or os?
[14:16] <chilli0> could be corrupt
[14:16] <progre55> Slart: any suggestions on the read/write permissions, please?
[14:17] <progre55> Slart: now that I have formatted my drive into fat32, I cannot copy/paste files into it, and there are no read/write permissions for the group and others, just for the user..
[14:17] <wise_crypt> linux: to format the disk pls boot from the live cd and read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=267869
[14:17] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, Oh i see. Well I'm guessing that's just someting that has changed fro everyone?
[14:17] <faryshta> chilli0, well the place where I downloaded mentioned about "joining the files with Hacha".
[14:17] <sebastian> wie kann man die auflösung des ubuntu ändern in einer virtuellen maschine ?

[14:17] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : how about yours ?
[14:17] <keebod> I think i've messed up my ubuntu installation by tryin to install kubuntu-desktop package. so, should i download kubuntu cd image and go for a new installation? or is there any way to bring back my ubuntu installation like as if it just got installed? like windows system restore?
[14:17] <chilli0> faryshta, Oh i see. I'm guessing you will have to try that under wine or something?
[14:17] <chilli0> ubuntunewbie, Mine have no icons also.
[14:17] <linux> wise_crypt, will i be able to install xp then after
[14:17] <Slart> progre55: mm, fat is a bit limited like that.. I think you'll have to change how that drive is mounted.. ie when it mounts it you tell it that it belongs to your user.. not root
[14:18] <progre55> Slart: but it automounts it..
[14:18] <ubuntunewbie> chilli0 : :S , I had ubuntu 8.04 install it had icon on it . there's no way icon went missing like this
[14:18] <Slart> progre55: I'm not sure exactly how to do this though
[14:18] <Core|School> AAAAHHHHH
[14:18] <chilli0> linux,  You haven't explained what your issue is with installing xp yet.
[14:18] <where> HOLY CRAP

[14:55] <Guest94575> this is the latest vmware for MAC...
[14:56] <bugs_bugger> well, the problem is that ubuntu halts on boot and says one or more mounts listed in.....cannot yet be mounted. /home waiting for UUID=.....

[14:59] <slavik> Guest94575: no ... it's no good in that it's a basic VGA card. you'd need vmware to tell ubuntu that it has an advanced card with 3d.
[14:59] <Guest94575> ok
[14:59] <slavik> Guest94575: you may also want to ask vmware support if 3d accelaration is supported for Linux

[15:27] <bugs_bugger> i hope that solves the problem
[15:28] <onetinsoldier> corpse: i am wrong. please disregard that
[15:28] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: :)
[15:28] <corpse> onetinsoldier: lol disregarded
[15:29] <onetinsoldier> corpse: do you have a problem if you do it without the '*' on the end. does it work if you just do... mv -v * /usr/share/folder
[15:29] <bugs_bugger> uhm, its allrite to execute on live-cd?
[15:29] <rc123> Does Ubuntu 10.04 TLS desktop still contain HALD ? I had run 10.04 LTS server, and hald was not present, I was amazed how fast it loaded.  My desktop version does not load much faster than my previous build.
[15:29] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: no live cd
[15:30] <bugs_bugger> damn...
[15:30] <corpse> onetinsoldier: yeah i still get folder not empty
[15:30] <bugs_bugger> ok
[15:30] <jatt> rc123: yes still it has it:
[15:30] <jatt> 107       1762  0.0  0.1  16932  2524 ?        Ssl  15:06   0:00 /usr/sbin/hald
[15:30] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: use your usual ubuntu
[15:30] <rc123> jatt: ok thank you.
[15:30] <bugs_bugger> i gotta reboot and go to recover shell than
[15:30] <bugs_bugger> since ubuntu wont boot proberly
[15:30] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: yup
[15:30] <bugs_bugger> properly...
[15:30] <timyeung> So I have this external hard drive I thought had had it. I have been trying to format it through gparted for a couple days now. This morning I popped it in and was like "grumble whatever might work. Right click>format to> ext 2." 20 minutes later success. Now lets try to put something on it. "Permission denied" Same problem as before!!! Any suggestions?
[15:30] <bugs_bugger> ok. lets see if it helps
[15:31] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: ok
[15:31] <bugs_bugger> cya later
[15:31] <onetinsoldier> corpse: are you inside of the folder where you all these files that you want to move reside? are there 'subfolders' in there?
[15:32] <onetinsoldier> corpse: are there subfolders inside this folder you are trying to move files from?
[15:32] <corpse> onetinsoldier:  yeah, i was kinnda hoping they would all get added to the apporpriate sub folders
[15:32] <onetinsoldier> corpse: you want to move the subfolder as well, correct?
[15:33] <corpse> onetinsoldier:  yes
[15:33] <timyeung> I really need it to work because I was updating my desktop when the power cut off. Now in order to save the 150 gigs of files, I need to back it up using ubuntu's live disk. very frustrating
[15:33] <shahar> hi, i am trying to save a gedit file to /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe. i get an error saying i don't have the permissions. I went to system->user settings and made myself an admin, this didn't help. how do i get the permission to save this file?
[15:34] <NightlyUser> save it as sudo
[15:34] <xukun> how can I see where my current grub is installed?. The upgrade process is asking me to choose "Grub install devices"
[15:34] <timyeung> shahar, use the terminal and sign in to root. sudo
[15:34] <onetinsoldier> corpse: ok, i believe you are getting that message because of the subfolders. i'm tyring to think of what syntax you need. don't know why i can't think of it right off
[15:35] <wise_crypt> !sudo | sahar
[15:35] <corpse> onetinsoldier:  i have one folder that i have in my documents folder. it is  /share  it has subfolders; backgrounds, themes, icons, emerald. i need to move the files from those sub folders to the same folders in /usr/share
[15:35] <timyeung> So I have this external hard drive I thought had had it. I have been trying to format it through gparted for a couple days now. This morning I popped it in and was like "grumble whatever might work. Right click>format to> ext 2." 20 minutes later success. Now lets try to put something on it. "Permission denied" Same problem as before!!! Any suggestions?
[15:35] <shahar> i did that... but i'm saving the file in the window portion
[15:35] <corpse> onetinsoldier: is there a way to go root in the gui windows? so i can just drag and drop
[15:35] <onetinsoldier> corpse: i am wondering if you have permission to move the subfolders (we really call them directories in linux)
[15:35] <shahar> i tried going to terminal, typing in sudo and then my pword

[15:36] <ubuntunewbie> what does it mean ?
[15:36] <shahar> do i need to use command line to actually save the file too?
[15:36] <onetinsoldier> corpse: you'll have to start a new nautilus as root user... command is --> gksu naultilus &

[15:38] <jatt> hi, I want to remove plymouth, but apt-get wants to delete the following packages with it: http://codepad.org/yggsfDfF
[15:38] <xukun> is it possible to see device is my grub device or which of my two disks is grub installed?
[15:38] <jatt> why is plymouth so important? The description says it's just a "boot animation"
[15:39] <BigThetan> Can anyone help figure out how to test my rsyslog server
[15:39] <xukun> sorry. is it possible to see which device is my grub device or which of my two disks is grub installed?
[15:39] <onetinsoldier> corpse: hmmm, i must admit, not sure what's happenening there with trying it on command line, although i feel i should know. there is no -R option (recursive) for the mv command. it should move everything. but i'm sure i'm missing something. you can be sure there's a reason
[15:39] <onetinsoldier> corpse: sorry i wasn't of better help
[15:40] <onetinsoldier> I cannot log into GDM. when i log out, if i wait a bit, there is a drum roll sound at the gdm login screen. well, i switched to a VT before the drum roll sound and at the VT there were errors repeated several time, in my syslog, a lot of times... ctxfi: Preparing pcm playback failed!!! - ctxfi: PLL initialization failed!!! Now, when i try to login, the gdm password dialog box dissapears after trying to enter in a few chars. this 
[15:40] <onetinsoldier> the first time this happened to me, i didn't know what had caused it. but now, i am like 99% sure i can reproduce it
[15:40] <corpse> onetinsoldier: ok ill work with it, when i run the naultilus command you gave me i get a return of [1] 14038 but i still dont get permission to move the folders
[15:41] <timyeung> So I have this external hard drive I thought had had it. I have been trying to format it through gparted for a couple days now.

[15:42] <Yggdrasil> can somone help me set my montior 1 to be the desktop (place where all new icons go) right now they go over to the monitor 0 wich is smaller and the icons get hidden off the top. gconftool-2 -t int -s /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/monitor 1 moves the panels over to the correct monitor
[15:42] <onetinsoldier> corpse: yeah. i think something's going on there that i can't see from here and don't know what to think right offhand
[15:43] <corpse> onetinsoldier: lol ok, thanks for the help man

[15:45] <Lydia`> is there a way I can tell The Gnome Desktop to sort the icons from the right hand side - like a Mac? I am stumped on this one.
[15:46] <drmagoo> anyone who has been succesful in running 3 monitors on 2 nvidia-graphicscards and not having to run seperate xscreens for each monitor ? I cant get twinview to work...
[15:46] <wise_crypt> !control | Lydia`

[15:47] <Pici> wise_crypt: I don't think that is what Lydia` was looking for. Right?

[15:48] <Lydia`> wise_crypt, not a problem
[15:48] <Apple> axisys: they usually dont make a after market skype client becasue you would lose the video chat capibility
[15:49] <wise_crypt> Lydia: gconf-editor
[15:49] <RyanP> We have a job opening coming up and need someone with pretty good Linux skills. My boss wants some sort of test where they're put in front of a computer that's been broken in some way and told to fix it. Anyone have suggestions?
[15:49] <StaRetji> Hello all :) How can I install a program, without installing bunch of other stuff like gnome, or kde. I'm asking because I'm using fluxbox and I don't need gnome for firefox or something. THX!
[15:50] <rabby> although i use rw for my davfs mountpoint, it's loosing all data from cache whenever unmounting :-(
[15:50] <Lydia`> wise_crypt, yes but what key am I to edit?
[15:50] <Galerien> RyanP: for the test?... delete some library config files, have him use tty1
[15:50] <rabby> mount with the gnome/gui tool, all works properly, mounting, writing, unmounting (no loss of data).
[15:50] <timyeung> So I have this external hard drive I thought had had it. I have been trying to format it through gparted for a couple days now.

"Permission denied" Same problem as before!!! Any suggestions?
[15:50] <onetinsoldier> RyanP: location is gong to have a lot to do with that. you should say where this job is. and, this channel is for support questions. job advertising is probably considered offtopic here. just an fyi. but hey, it piqued my interest ;-)
[15:51] <rabby> but with the /etc/fstab and common (un)mount procedure, the davfs is loosing any changes!
[15:51] <Apple> timyeung: right click open as administraitor
[15:51] <chegney> if I download the skype 2.1 client from skype that says it's for 8.10, will that work on 10?
[15:51] <onetinsoldier> RyanP: if the job is in my town, i can come down now ;-)
[15:51] <RyanP> onetinsoldier: I'll try -offtopic thanks. It's for a school district.
[15:51] <onetinsoldier> RyanP: roger, good luck
[15:52] <Apple> chegney: yes it will
[15:52] <RyanP> Galerien: I like it. Thanks.

[15:52] <chegney> Apple: is the command aptitude install <deb file name> ??
[15:53] <Galerien> RyanP: ask him to compile some files with a broken gcc

[15:56] <NightlyUser> StaRetji: what program are you trying to install?
[15:56] <maco> StaRetji: are you worried about libraries that are dependencies for certain programs? because the only way around that would be to compile the programs yourself, specifically disabling those libraries from being included (since ubuntu packages are already built with support for certain things which may require those libraries)

[15:57] <essial_> on my 64-bit at home, it holds ftp mounts for hours and hours
[15:57] <StaRetji> maco, my trouble is that I run ubuntu on USB stick, so no disk space
[15:57] <essial_> but on my 32-bit laptop it drops them after 5 minutes of inactivity
[15:57] <Roderick> corpse, type gksudo nautilus into a terminal

[15:59] <NightlyUser> corpse: what happens after that?
[15:59] <corpse> NightlyUser: and i get [1] 1405
[16:00] <chegney> apt-get install ./skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_i386.deb
[16:00] <Luke> what's the IRC channel for package building?
[16:00] <chegney> that didn't work
[16:00] <corpse> NightlyUser: then thats it
[16:00] <Pici> Luke: #ubuntu-packaging
[16:00] <Luke> Pici: thanks
[16:00] <maco> chegney: thats not how you install a locally downloaded deb
[16:00] <StaRetji> maco, thx dude, I made a mistake, I meant kaffeine
[16:00] <acicula> Guest99599, GNU is a foundation, do you mean you want the source for some gnu packages?
[16:00] <maco> chegney: sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[16:00] <onetinsoldier> Luke: i think it's #ubuntu-packaging
[16:00] <orangeglo> im using 10.4 and i am unable  to get my microphone working. has anyone else had this problem? and if so, could you please share with me how you fixed the problem? :)
[16:00] <Guest99599> acicula, yes
[16:00] <maco> StaRetji: ah, kaffeine is a KDE program. no way you're avoiding kde libs with a kde program
[16:00] <NightlyUser> corpse: is that all the output of the terminal
[16:00] <piyushmishra> hi how do i enable mod_rewrite on apache2 ?
[16:00] <Luke> onetinsoldier: thanks

[16:01] <NightlyUser> corpse: sorry, i'm stumped
[16:01] <onetinsoldier> Luke: you're welcome, but i see that i was too slow ;-)
[16:01] <_pg_> also, are there any themes like lucid default only transparent and glassy and sexy?
[16:01] <chegney> maco: thanks, when I asked before, some guy just did !apt instead of giving me real information
[16:01] <piyushmishra> i tried the apache.conf file
[16:01] <acicula> Guest94575, either apt-get source <package> to fetch the package source as used in ubuntu, or go to gnu.org to browse the gnu programs
[16:01] <maco> chegney: probably didnt realise you had a locally downloaded deb is all
[16:01] <StaRetji> maco, understood, so, I will give up on it. I need to set dvb-t card to work with some player, I'm stuck with xine then :) Cheers and thx for help!
[16:01] <Pici> piyushmishra: sudo a2enmod rewrite
[16:01] <Luke> does anyone know if there's a way to have multiple versions of the same package in one repo? the package channel seems dead
[16:01] <Guest24361> perlmonkey, thanks for the tips earlier with kdenlive
[16:01] <maco> StaRetji: xine-ui is a player...
[16:02] <corpse> NightlyUser: well right now i get [2]+ exit 1                            gksu nautilus
[16:02] <piyushmishra> Pici: after tht restart apache?
[16:02] <Pici> piyushmishra: yes.
[16:02] <acicula> Luke yes thats possible, though not installable at the same time
[16:02] <Guest24361> its well worth doing the upgrade to the latest kdenlive
[16:02] <onetinsoldier> Luke: i believe it is possible, yes
[16:02] <chegney> maco: probably
[16:02] <Luke> acicula: sure that makes sense. do you know what that's called or have a link to some docs?
[16:02] <acicula>  apt-cache policy gcc will show you what revisions are available
[16:02] <wise_crypt> BigThetan: check out at #ubuntu-server read this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-linux-apache2-virtual-hosts-syslog-server.html
[16:02] <maco> StaRetji: "apt-cache depends <package>" is a good command to know if you want to check for gnome & kde library dependencies. not much way around gtk or qt dependencies on gui apps, but you can at least avoid the larger gnome/kde ones
[16:02] <acicula> Luke nothing specific, but start at the packaging howto?
[16:02] <onetinsoldier> Luke: don't hold me to it though
[16:03] <piyushmishra> Pici: still not workin
[16:03] <Luke> hmm yeah that doesn't say
[16:03] <NightlyUser> corpse: could you pastebin a screenshot of your terminal?
[16:03] <NightlyUser> !pastebin
[16:03] <corpse> NightlyUser: yep
[16:03] <acicula> Luke, whats more commenly done is to differentiate packages based on major revisions, and just update minor revisions
[16:03] <quietone> I'm on lucid and need to use a previous version of php5. how do I install the karmic version?
[16:04] <Luke> acicula: yeah that'd be fine. how do you set up a repo to support that?
[16:04] <Pici> piyushmishra: What makes you think that it doesn't work?
[16:04] <piyushmishra> I have wordpress

[16:05] <whiter> i know theres a setting i just cant remember where
[16:05] <wise_crypt> !ask | piyushmishra
[16:05] <Pici> piyushmishra: Are you using the apache2 install from the repos?
[16:05] <acicula> Luke, idont know what you are trying to achieve exactly, but start with the repository howto?
[16:06] <onetinsoldier> I cannot log into GDM. when i log out, if i wait a bit, there is a drum roll sound at the gdm login screen. well, i switched to a VT before the drum roll sound and at the VT there were errors repeated several time, in my syslog, a lot of times... ctxfi: Preparing pcm playback failed!!! - ctxfi: PLL initialization failed!!!

[16:06] <onetinsoldier> the first time this happened to me, i didn't know what had caused it. but now, i am like 99% sure i can reproduce it. i already tried to uninstall the kernel i was using and using a different one to see if that would fix it, to no avail

[16:09] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: hello. as you can see, i've encountered a very serious bug. first time i've ever really had this kind of a problem with a stable version of linux. i'm in deep here. need a reinstall unless someone has an idea. anyway, how are you doing today?
[16:09] <An_Ony_Moose> _pg_, I don't see a binding to activate it, only "unfold", "Next slide" and "Previous slide"
[16:09] <piyushmishra> Pici: this shouldnt come up as I tried this after enabling mod_rewrite. I guess I should try restarting my system
[16:10] <_pg_> An_Ony_Moose, its called activate i think
[16:11] <_pg_> An_Ony_Moose, rotate cube->bindings->rotate cube
[16:11] <kaje> I have a back up USB disk that is formatted with ext4 and seems to be write protected. The normal unix permissions look fine and the mount parameters are "defaults". I'm not sure where to check next... Suggestions?
[16:12] <NightlyUser> !mount
[16:12] <timyeung> Apple, I don't have that option. I right clicked on it and now trying to format it again. Hope for the best... it has been 10 minutes already. Starting to doubt it will work
[16:12] <An_Ony_Moose> _pg_, OOOOH, rotate cube!
[16:12] <_pg_> An_Ony_Moose, thats it
[16:12] <An_Ony_Moose> got it! thanks :)
[16:12] <_pg_> An_Ony_Moose, ;)
[16:12] <kaje> NightlyUser: was that for me?
[16:12] <NightlyUser> kaje: yes
[16:13] <kaje> NightlyUser: I don't think it is a mount issue
[16:13] <NightlyUser> kaje: it should tell you how to mount it rw
[16:13] <NightlyUser> !fstab
[16:13] <orangeglo> anyone here know how to get a mic working in 10.4?
[16:14] <kaje> NightlyUser: are you saying that if it is using "defaults" that it is not RW?
[16:14] <CruX|> hi all on ubuntu 10.04 how I can install kdevelop ?
[16:14] <acicula> orangeglo, its typically a case of just unmuting the microphone
[16:14] <arooni-mobile___> hey team;  tried to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 on my desktop.  everything looked good but when i woke up this morning there was no video out coming from my computer.   so i thought "ok install must be done, i'll restart the computer".  well now a screen that says "Ubuntu 10.04" with 4 dots that indicate loading.  been doing that for 10 minutes or so.  what to do?
[16:14] <NightlyUser> kaje: i think that is the case, yes
[16:14] <CruX|> kdevelop is not in repository
[16:14] <acicula> sound icon -> preferences ->input
[16:14] <_pg_> arooni-mobile, wait it out
[16:14] <orangeglo> acicula: ive tried that, and in my alsamixer it says 00 under headphones
[16:14] <Pici> CruX|: It is in backports.
[16:14] <StaRetji> maco, thx for all the tips, highly appreciated ;)
[16:15] <arooni-mobile> _pg_, ok how long does it usually take?
[16:15] <kaje> According to the page you just linked: defaults = rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async
[16:15] <_pg_> arooni-mobile, wait, did you just shut it off cause the screen was asleep?
[16:15] <_pg_> arooni-mobile, like did you push a button to power it down?
[16:15] <Njh> anyone know how to keep older versions of packages using reprepro
[16:15] <maco> StaRetji: np
[16:15] <arooni-mobile___> _pg_, yes.   but the screen wasnt just asleep i was getting no video out from the machine.
[16:15] <NightlyUser> kaje: you're trying to access it as a user yes?
[16:15] <arooni-mobile___> _pg_, held down power button
[16:16] <wise_crypt> kaje : gksudo nautilus
[16:16] <kaje> NightlyUser: Yep and the user and group I'm using owns it.
[16:16] <An_Ony_Moose> How can I share the mouse cursor between two ubuntu computers connected via ethernet?
[16:16] <Krishnandu> Hey guys can i assign an image to my user name...??
[16:16] <_pg_> arooni-mobile, eek. scary. youre sure the display wasnt just asleep? lol
[16:16] <wise_crypt> kaje : gksudo nautilus > open the file now u can do anything with the file
[16:16] <craigbass1976> I'm getting ready to update java.  Previously, I've done it manually, but not sure how to undo it.  Do I just install the new version over the old?  I ./jdk-...bin in /usr/local usually to install.  Just remove the directory?
[16:16] <K3rl0u4rn> hi people, is it possible to use "boot disk creator" to create a light persistent / live USB ? I would e.g. want to install ubuntu-minimal and then only the software I needs, not the complete ubuntu-desktop
[16:16] <NightlyUser> kaje: you showed what the default says: nouser
[16:16] <Krishnandu> Hey guys can i assign an image to my user name...??
[16:17] <_pg_> arooni-mobile, id wait a few more minutes and if nothing changes reboot and hope for the best! my upgrades needed input after I left them over night. :/
[16:17] <IdleOne> Krishnandu: yes, click on your user name (top right) and in the drop down window click on it a second time
[16:17] <arooni-mobile> _pg_, um yes.  i blame the upgrade; if it would have worked my screen would have worked .  my monitors gave me "no video out"
[16:17] <arooni-mobile> _pg_, sounds like i'll need to re install from the cd huh
[16:17] <arooni-mobile> good thing i have /home on a different partition and backups
[16:17] <arooni-mobile> ugh
[16:17] <NightlyUser> kaje: so the defaults make it rw for root
[16:17] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, Ya I did that already......But I want that image to show in login screen
[16:17] <bambam_> I need some help regarding pidgin messenger
[16:17] <_pg_> arooni-mobile, well if the computer went to sleep couldnt that have given "no video out"?
[16:17] <NightlyUser> kaje: you need to add your guid to it
[16:18] <arooni-mobile> _pg_, it has never gone to sleep ever.  plus i tapped the power button which should have awoken it up  .. nothing happened
[16:18] <bambam_> it is about old problem of getting booted out of the room in yahoo chat rooms using pidgin.
[16:18] <wise_crypt> bambam: /j 3pidgin instead
[16:18] <bambam_> how can I prevent it
[16:18] <wise_crypt> bambam: /j #pidgin instead
[16:18] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, Ya I did that already......But I want that image to show in login screen
[16:18] <_pg_> arooni-mobile, ok. is it doing anything yet? are the dots moving?
[16:19] <Krishnandu> Guys how can I use an image to my username so that I can see it in login screen
[16:19] <IdleOne> Krishnandu: hmm it should use the picture in the login screen, I am not sure though as I don't spend much time there :)
[16:19] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: did you try to /msg me? pm? if so, i'm not familiar with irssi and don't know how to switch to that pm. i'm stuck in VT only. no x-windows here, so i'm in irssi in a virtual terminal
[16:19] <natschil> Hello... Is there an application somewhere which manages different sound outputs (i.e. differentiates between laptop speakers and headphones)
[16:19] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, Ya...It's not showing up there
[16:19] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, I tried from User And Groups
[16:19] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, No option for adding image :(
[16:19] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: ya i was just saying hi haha. did you have any luck lat night?
[16:19] <arooni-mobile> _pg_, dots are moving.  listen i can login via control shift + f1.  i.e. command prompt.  can i fix it here?
[16:20] <acicula> natschil, under sound preferences -> output you should be able to choose
[16:21] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: no. i have the problem i have now from playing around with it. remeber restarting X? well, i have a serious issue due to trying to restart X
[16:21] <onetinsoldier> I cannot log into GDM. when i log out, if i wait a bit, there is a drum roll sound at the gdm login screen. well, i switched to a VT before the drum roll sound and at the VT there were errors repeated several time, in my syslog, a lot of times... ctxfi: Preparing pcm playback failed!!! - ctxfi: PLL initialization failed!!! Now, when i try to login, the gdm password dialog box dissapears after trying to enter in a few chars. this 
[16:21] <onetinsoldier> the first time this happened to me, i didn't know what had caused it. but now, i am like 99% sure i can reproduce it. i already tried to uninstall the kernel i was using and using a different one to see if that would fix it, to no avail
[16:21] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: uh oh >.< thats not good
[16:21] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, Hey dude.....it's working fine now :)
[16:22] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, Yupiee...!! :D
[16:22] <sc30317> hey all, I am trying to compile something, and I am getting the following error;

[16:22] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: nope, not good :-(
[16:22] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, Nothing....I just did it again what I did earlier
[16:22] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, I mean the same step you said...!! :)
[16:22] <_pg_> arooni-mobile, beats me. like i said id wait it out lol
[16:22] <IdleOne> Krishnandu: glad it worked
[16:23] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: i wish i could help!
[16:23] <sc30317> hey all, I am trying to compile something, and I am getting the following error-> http://paste.ubuntu.com/439402/
[16:23] <Krishnandu> IdleOne, Thank you :)
[16:23] <Todd> Quick SSHD question on Ubuntu 9.10. Trying to set 'PermitRootLogin no' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config then I restart ssh by /etc/init.d/ssh restart, but it's still allowing me to login as root. Any help?
[16:23] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: thanks :)
[16:23] <NightlyUser> !sshd
[16:23] <Krishnandu> !ssh
[16:24] <Todd> Thank you. I did read the tutorials. It says to set 'PermitRootLogin no' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but that is not working.
[16:24] <acicula> Todd, is the line uncommented too?
[16:24] <Todd> Yes. I had to write it.
[16:24] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: first time i've ever really had this kind of a problem with a stable version of linux. i'm in deep here. need a reinstall unless someone has an idea.
[16:24] <acicula> try stopping sshd first and make sure its not running before starting it again, how are you testing root login still works?
[16:24] <Raedism> soldier whats your issue?
[16:24] <An_Ony_Moose> ARGH. In compizconfig settings manager, I can't disable the "Initiate Window Resize" shortcut (Resize Window plugin), whenever I set it to disabled it sets itself back to <Alt>Button2 automatically. I've also tried setting it to a different shortcut, but that doesn't work either. Can anyone help?
[16:24] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: would you lose alot in a reinstall?
[16:25] <Todd> acicula: Testing via 'ssh root@localhost' is there something that will always allow from localhost?
[16:25] <DSpair> OK, gotta give props on 10.04! Dual-head on my laptop finally works without serious work!!
[16:25] <acicula> Todd, not sure tbh
[16:25] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: no... np for me really. just takes time to set up and configure everything again. but no, no big deal and nothing will be lost, except a little time
[16:26] <Sasquatch7> Hello, I was wondering about opening applications in the terminal. Sometimes when I open a program the terminal will be halted until that program is closed and other times it will go to next line and wait for another command. Is possible to change the way this behavior occurs?
[16:26] <Todd> acicula: Thanks. I'll dink with it some more.
[16:26] <Kangarooo> anyone knows package name of programm called 3d acceleration witch is located in aplications->settings ? i cant even get its name since it doesnt open after i changed videocard
[16:26] <Pici> Todd: Are you restarting ssh after making the changes? Also, you shouldn't be able to login as root at all in an Ubuntu install, as we lock the root account.
[16:26] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: well at least you have a good backup plan. i feel kinda bad though :\ your in this situation cuz of me :|
[16:26] <frostburn> is their an rss reader that pops up new items via libnotify?
[16:26] <wise_crypt> !bg
[16:26] <Todd> Pici: This is a VPS and it was enabled by default because root is the only account in the beginning. Now I'm trying to secure it up.
[16:27] <blue_anna> !what-provides
[16:27] <Pici> Todd: If you're trying to get it back to the way that Ubuntu starts out as, you may want to lock the root account yourself and make sure that sudoers is setup properly so that your user can use it.
[16:28] <Todd> Pici: Ok. I'm not sure what you mean by lock the account. You mean lock it the way that Ubuntu ships? Would I need to dpkg-reconfigure something to do get that done?
[16:28] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: hehe. no worries. not your fault at all. and, if you read the description of my problem, this is actually the second time i've had this happen. it's just that, the first time it happened i didn't know what had caused it. now, when i reinstall, i will know how to avoid it because i know what caused it
[16:28] <blue_anna> I just found a great utility that gives "what-provides" support to ubuntu packages
[16:28] <blue_anna> apt-file search /path/to/foobar will show you the packages you ahve installed that provided changes to that file
[16:29] <z3r0-c001> Can I change my computers name after install
[16:29] <phillyj> i wanted to run this program in the bacckground; is this the right way to use the ampersands? "-log run.log >& run.err &"
[16:29] <_pg_> how do i install theme engines?
[16:29] <DSpair> z3r0-c001: Yup
[16:29] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: well  i guess thats good
[16:29] <Pici> Todd: If your user is able to use sudo, you can issue: sudo passwd -l root    (thats an L)
[16:29] <z3r0-c001> How
[16:29] <_pg_> im so confused I want to use emerald with compiz but i dont know how to install theme engines
[16:29] <Pici> !hostname | z3r0-c001
[16:29] <NightlyUser> phillyj: best ask at #bash
[16:29] <Sasquatch7> Is it possible to change the way the terminal behaves after launching an application via the terminal?
[16:30] <Todd> Pici: hmm.. nice I didn't know you could lock passwords that way. Thanks a bunch.
[16:30] <phillyj> ok
[16:30] <blue_anna> phillyj: some_app -log run.log > run.err & I think
[16:30] <_pg_> what version of gtk do I have
[16:30] <z3r0-c001> Pici can you put that in English
[16:30] <wise_crypt> phillyj: "-log run.log > run.err &" j #bash for more (whitespaces)
[16:30] <the-dude> when while Ubuntu sync packages from Debian Unstable?
[16:30] <_pg_> people who are smart enough to use themes dont care about themes. lol
[16:31] <phillyj> blue_anna: theres not "&" at the end?
[16:31] <blue_anna> phillyj: there is
[16:31] <Pici> z3r0-c001: Which part didn't you understand?
[16:31] <blue_anna> phillyj: "some_app -log run.log > run.err &" I think
[16:31] <Gnea> z3r0-c001: you have to start by opening a terminal...
[16:31] <Oer> _pg_,  true
[16:31] <z3r0-c001> Ok
[16:31] <phillyj> blue_anna: sry, i meant after the ">"
[16:31] <blue_anna> phillyj: not needed after the capture for STDOUT
[16:31] <blue_anna> phillyj: you're trying to cap out STDOUT or STDERR ?
[16:32] <Njh> anyone know how to setup a multiple version repository
[16:32] <wise_crypt> phillyj: please joint #bash
[16:32] <blue_anna> phillyj: I think you actually need "some_app -log run.log 2> err.log &"
[16:32] <blue_anna> sure
[16:32] <demoniak> ola alguien sabe jugar a freedink?
[16:32] <_pg_> Oer, thanks? lol
[16:32] <wad> Okay, here's a good question for you guys. Unplugged from my other monitor, and now I can't get to the app that was showing on that part of the desktop. Is it possible to drag the window to this one?
[16:32] <Pici> !es | demoniak
[16:33] <demoniak> thx

[16:34] <bastidrazor> Njh: using repsitories from different releases of Ubuntu will break things.
[16:34] <MaJic_NinJa>  /join ubuntu-es
[16:35] <airtonix> wad, 1) alt + tab till you think have the app focused 2) alt + space to get the window menu 3) press m to begin moving 4) press arrows to move window
[16:35] <blue_anna> wise_crypt: there is
[16:35] <Sasquatch7> Anyone know if it's possible to change the behavior of the terminal when a program is launched?
[16:35] <NightlyUser> !terminal
[16:36] <wad> airtonix, thanks! I managed to do it by alt-clicking and dragging.
[16:37] <Sasquatch7> NightlyUser: What do you mean by that? Sorry been awhile since using linux.
[16:38] <blue_anna> wise_crypt: this from my bash history demonstrates the pipes http://pastebin.org/279461
[16:38] <blue_anna> you'd have to cntrl+c after fg %1
[16:38] <NightlyUser> Sasquatch7: right-click this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[16:38] <NightlyUser> Sasquatch7: and open in a browser
[16:38] <Sasquatch7> NightlyUser: Ok, yea i'm there now searching around.
[16:38] <ThisguyBB> I was just wondering if anyone has installed the new 10.04 and is having problems with proftpd?
[16:39] <blue_anna> what package would give me the i2c core module?
[16:39] <wise_crypt> blue_anna: i'm following at #bash no need to copy here :)
[16:39] <Cybo> running 10.4:  what is the log.conf file, it is NOT /etc/syslog.conf
[16:39] <xnox> I remember there was a cool app which showed graphs & statistics about laptop battery charge levels. But I can't find it again. Do you know what's it's called?
[16:40] <blue_anna> :)
[16:40] <phillyj> thx
[16:40] <airtonix> xnox, it's part of the power-manager applet icon in your notification tray
[16:40] <phillyj> blue_anna: still gotta work out some kinks
[16:40] <NightlyUser> Cybo: /var/log/syslog.log
[16:41] <blue_anna> phillyj: oo, I'll go back on bash then
[16:41] <airtonix> xnox, run it with : gnome-power-statistics

[16:42] <iuri> hi there
[16:42] <Cybo> NightlyUser, that is close, I mean what controls the logging levels and such
[16:42] <iuri> i have troubles creating new users on ubuntu
[16:43] <iuri> the environment is totally weird
[16:43] <blue_anna> iuri you're doing "sudo adduser" or System->Administration->Users and Grupos?
[16:43] <Pici> iuri: Sounds like you used useradd instead of adduser.
[16:43] <iuri> first of all the comman line looks like this
[16:43] <iuri> $  instead of root@desktop:~#
[16:44] <NightlyUser> Cybo: not sure sorry
[16:44] <kk_hacker> hello, its 72 hours now and I am really broken.  I have a lenovo s10 with broadcom wifi card built-in it works fine when I access my office wifi but can't connect to my home wifi which is ad hoc.  can any one figure this out?
[16:45] <iuri> Pici, you are correct
[16:45] <Drakeson> how can I add something to XDG_DATA_DIRS?  putting "export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:$HOME/share" in .gnomerc does not work.
[16:45] <iuri> i will fix and let you know
[16:45] <blue_anna> iuri PS1="\u@\h: \W# "
[16:45] <Cybo> NightlyUser, thanks anyway.  I am having a hard time finding that info.
[16:46] <NightlyUser> !syslog
[16:46] <NightlyUser> oh well, worth a try
[16:46] <Cybo> there is no /etc/syslog.conf
[16:46] <Cybo> it was :)
[16:47] <kk_hacker> ah and for those who are trying to help me, I am using ubuntu 10.04
[16:47] <Pici> blue_anna: Thats not going to fix it permanently, using useradd instead of adduser skips many of the initial setup that most people consider normal for auser account, like copying /etc/skel/ and making the user part of some initial groups.
[16:47] <blue_anna> Pici: PS1 is just the bash prompt -- I wasnt trying to fix his adduser problem :)
[16:47] <Pici> blue_anna: Oh, okay. :)

[16:49] <TheGrammarFreak> The banshee IRc is very quite, so I want to know if anyone here can help? I and using banshee on lucid, but all my video come up with %20 whenever there should be a space. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[16:49] <NightlyUser> wise_crypt: thanks, duely noted
[16:49] <BKTech86> timyeung, did you try using sudo?
[16:49] <BKTech86> timyeung, try adding yourself to the usergroup "disk" or "disc"
[16:49] <orangeglo> why does steam lag on ubuntu? am i missing a plug in?
[16:49] <maco> TheGrammarFreak: %20 means space in hex
[16:49] <BKTech86> timyeung, try using sudo first
[16:49] <maco> TheGrammarFreak: because a space is character 32 in ascii
[16:49] <wise_crypt> TheGrammarFreak: gksudo

[16:50] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: do you use cairo-dock?

[16:51] <oxidizer> hey
[16:51] <orangeglo> when i open cairo-dock it is encased in a large black rectangle. is there anyway to have just the icons showing?
[16:51] <Linuxandall> http://linuxandall.wordpress.com          Could someone tell me what they think
[16:51] <kk_hacker> oh, so i think people are lucky that no one faces a broadcom problem as strange like mine
[16:52] <maco> orangeglo: turn on desktop effects
[16:52] <TheGrammarFreak> maco, yeah. It'st still a pain. I still get email notifications from a bug I filed in KDE months ago
[16:52] <BKTech86> anyone know how to open the full audio controls panel?
[16:52] <orangeglo> maco: is that in the cairo menu?
[16:52] <maco> orangeglo: system -> preferences -> appearance
[16:52] <An_Ony_Moose> maco, how do I use it?
[16:53] <crocket> I deleted date/time applet from the top panel, and I can't add it again. How can I do it?
[16:53] <maco> orangeglo: you dont have compositing enabled in your window manager, so cairo cant have a blank background, so it gets filled in black
[16:53] <maco> An_Ony_Moose: dunno. just know thats what people use to do that
[16:53] <orangeglo> maco: ah ok. thank you :)
[16:53] <An_Ony_Moose> ok, I'll have a look, thanks maco :)
[16:53] <crocket> The popup window that appears when I click "Add to panel" doesn't contain data/time applet.
[16:53] <crocket> What the hell?
[16:53] <maco> TheGrammarFreak: yeah me too. i have over 700 unread bugmails. ...dont tell my fellow developers ;-)  i suggest setting up filters in your email to deal with it and prioritise what you need to see.
[16:54] <itsHenson> is there any reason not to set my keyring pass the same as my user's pass?
[16:54] <oxidizer> BKt: If  you  use 9.10 right click if 10.04 leftclick
[16:54] <kk_hacker> for those who just entered the room, my problems is that i have a lenovo s10 idea pad with broadcom wifi card and i can access regular wifi in my office but with 10.04 lusic i can't access my ad hoc home wifi
[16:54] <maco> crocket: its called clock, i think
[16:54] <maco> crocket: or maybe calendar...
[16:54] <crocket> macro, wow it's called clock.
[16:54] <maco> itsHenson: paranoia?
[16:54] <orangeglo> maco: when i tried to enable the driver it said, "system error: failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock-"
[16:54] <NightlyUser> kk_hacker: have you tried looking at the wifiguide?
[16:54] <itsHenson> maco: That's what I thought :)  Thanks
[16:55] <maco> orangeglo: you already have a synaptic or update manager or software center or apt-get process running then. close whatever app it is or wait for it to finish if its in the middle of installing something then close it... and then try again
[16:55] <crocket> maco, thanks
[16:55] <orangeglo> maco: oh ok. thanks
[16:56] <piyushmishra> how to uninstall lamp completely?
[16:56] <piyushmishra> I found the client I used earlier xampp
[16:56] <timyeung> BKTech86, i unmounted the drive so it is no longer in /media. I know it is usually under /dev right?
[16:56] <piyushmishra> I will install that perhaps
[16:56] <timyeung> BKTech86, I can't seem to find it
[16:57] <timyeung> BKTech86, I could right click and mount it, but I won't have superuser
[16:57] <NightlyUser> !mount | timyeung
[16:58] <Sasquatch7> NightlyUser: I've searched that website and searched through /.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Any other suggestions?
[16:58] <tdn> How do I remove the menu bar for gnome terminal? So that it is hidden by default?
[16:58] <NightlyUser> Sasquatch7: what exactly are you trying to do with the terminal?
[16:59] <sanjay> r after the installation of windows 7.but after installing ubuntu.. my windows 7  loader is not working.. please help me
[16:59] <BKTech86> timyeung, if its an external hard drive, like USB, it should just load automatically under the /media directory you shouldn't have to mount it
[16:59] <Sasquatch7> NightlyUser: I want it to go to a next line and wait for more commands after running an application, if that is possible.
[16:59] <Sasquatch7> Sasquatch7: As of now, when a program is launched it will pause until that program is exited.
[16:59] <sanjay> I installed ubuntu in different partiotion  after the installation of windows 7.but after installing ubuntu.. my windows 7  loader is not working.. please help me
[16:59] <NightlyUser> Sasquatch7: i'm not sure it is, you could ask at #gnome
[17:00] <GeekSquid> Sasquatch7: nohup command
[17:00] <Sasquatch7> NightlyUser: Ok, thanks for the direction!
[17:00] <NightlyUser> np
[17:00] <Sasquatch7> GeekSquid: Thanks, will look into it.
[17:00] <_blackwater_> tdn profiles default preferences, uncheck 'show menubar by default in new terminals'
[17:01] <GeekSquid> NightlyUser: if you don't know, don't send them somewhere else
[17:01] <_blackwater_> tdn right click on screen and uncheck show menubar
[17:02] <NightlyUser> GeekSquid: sorry, i thought it might be better it is a gnome terminal, and if anyone would know it would be there
[17:03] <An_Ony_Moose> maco, it works great, thanks for pointing me to it :D
[17:03] <GeekSquid> NightlyUser: it is also a common question here
[17:03] <maco> An_Ony_Moose: yay :)
[17:03] <tdn> _blackwater_, thanks.

[17:14] <samuel02> NightlyUser, but they recommended to install with gems?
[17:14] <NightlyUser> samuel02: gems?
[17:15] <samuel02> NightlyUser, and apt can´t find that package
[17:15] <fiukafiuka> my dhcp configuration failed during install UBUNTU STUDIO, and what networking should I now set up manually, static or dhcp? im constantly moving with my laptop, so dhcp would be better, but can dhcp find wireless and proxy settings/data? what networking should i use, and how can i set it up manually?
[17:15] <barberan> Hello. By which means I am able to transform PDF file to DOC file format ??

[17:16] <Orfeous> anyone know ddclient? D
[17:16] <Orfeous> :D
[17:16] <NightlyUser> samuel02: then you need to install rubygems
[17:17] <samuel02> NightlyUser, installed already
[17:17] <fiukafiuka> my dhcp configuration failed during install UBUNTU STUDIO, and what networking should I now set up manually, static or dhcp? im constantly moving with my laptop, so dhcp would be better, but can dhcp find wireless and proxy settings/data? what networking should i use, and how can i set it up manually?
[17:17] <samuel02> I use it for rails

[17:18] <NightlyUser> samuel02: according to your pastebin you haven't run sudo gem install redcar
[17:19] <Roasted> Does anybody have any wireless issues in Ubuntu 10.04? I had zero problems with 9.10, but it seems as if 10.04 has brought some problems to the table. Example - I'm here with three identical laptops, all fully updated. XP on 1, 9.10 on 2, 10.04 on 3. XP and 9.10 work on this WPA network, 10.04 does not. What the????
[17:19] <salvador> hola
[17:19] <lubuntu> que onda?
[17:19] <salvador> que onda
[17:19] <_blackwater_> Roasted which wirless chip/hardware are you using.
[17:19] <Roasted> _blackwater_, broadcom 4322
[17:19] <Travis-42> On Ubuntu 10.04, when I try to sync music from rhythmbox to my iphone, it shows the syncing message, and then just stops. any idea how to get it working?
[17:20] <lubuntu> primera vez que me meto a esto
[17:20] <_blackwater_> Roasted hardwire your lan connection, then apt-get the bwcutter software.
[17:20] <Roasted> _blackwater_, worked fine in 810, 904, 910, but 10.04 presents some issues, not to mention random disconnects even tho Im sitting within a few feet of an access point with perfect signal.
[17:20] <Roasted> _blackwater_, been there, done that, already got that software.
[17:21] <Roasted> _blackwater_, once installed, was I to do anything with it?
[17:21] <Guest2590> hello.  I have just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and I can not get sound.  I have checked mute
[17:21] <samuel02> NightlyUser, i did earlier and got successful result, http://paste.ubuntu.com/439425/
[17:21] <_blackwater_> Roasted if you get the wireless seeing access points, no then there's nothing else to do.
[17:21] <mixxit> how can i boot off an iso from console
[17:21] <theadmin> Unetbootin has a support channel?
[17:21] <mixxit> like how does teh init system boot into an installer?
[17:21] <mixxit> chroot?
[17:21] <_blackwater_> Roasted you can t/shoot to some extent with tail -F /var/log/syslog while associating to access points.
[17:21] <airtonix> Guest2590, have you tried restarting the computer ?
[17:21] <Roasted> _blackwater_, i can see the access points fine, it just gives me a headache when trying to connect. I could do all of this PRIOR to even installing that package.
[17:21] <Roasted> _blackwater_, already did that too, and even posted it on a bug on launchpad. *sigh*
[17:21] <Guest2590> yes many times
[17:22] <fiukafiuka> my dhcp configuration failed during install UBUNTU STUDIO, and what networking should I now set up manually, static or dhcp? im constantly moving with my laptop, so dhcp would be better, but can dhcp find wireless and proxy settings/data? what networking should i use, and how can i set it up manually?
[17:22] <Roasted> so much for an LTS being more stable...
[17:22] <timyeung> i am trying to use the mv command as superuser and am getting the the following error: cannot create directory 'blah blah' : input/output error. What am I missing?
[17:22] <helo> Roasted: it will be :)
[17:22] <airtonix> Guest2590, did you check the ouput and connection options in  the sound-preferences ?
[17:22] <_blackwater_> Roasted it is entirely possible coincidence that another radio is on the same channel.
[17:22] <Roasted> helo, so far, it isnt
[17:22] <Roasted> _blackwater_, nope, I used wifi radar - I can see all APs are on different channels.
[17:22] <_blackwater_> Roasted apt-get the wifi-radar package to evaluate your environment.
[17:22] <helo> Roasted: generally, a new release is less stable than its predecessor
[17:22] <Guest2590> yes
[17:22] <Guest2590> seems to be ok
[17:23] <publico_> plis in spanish
[17:23] <caac> hi, is there a way to remove the arrow from the Ubuntu menu?
[17:23] <airtonix> Guest2590, did you try all combinations of them ?
[17:23] <lubuntu> Is there any command for me to detect the wireless?
[17:23] <helo> publico_: #ubuntu-espanol
[17:23] <Roasted> helo, Ive always had good luck with new releases, even when running their beta or RC... just uscks that 10.04 works SO great on my desktop and other systems, but this laptop it enrages me beyond belief.
[17:23] <NightlyUser> samuel02: perhaps you need to cd to a certain directory?
[17:23] <airtonix> Guest2590, make sure connection is not set to analog-headphone
[17:23] <fetale> hello there
[17:23] <_blackwater_> Roasted then I would presume a non-wireless problem is to blame.
[17:23] <samuel02> NightlyUser, could try that..
[17:24] <Roasted> _blackwater_, Ill just have to put 9.10 back in. it'd be one thing if it were a personal laptop, but its a work laptop. I kinda need... to... work. :(
[17:24] <NightlyUser> samuel02: sorry i couldn't be more help
[17:24] <Guest2590> no. any particular ones I should try?
[17:24] <Roasted> helo, in your opinion when would you (on average) consider a new version "stable" to upgrade to
[17:24] <samuel02> NightlyUser, np, thanks anyways
[17:24] <NightlyUser> np
[17:24] <xomp> ok, I managed to "chmod 640 /" and now nobody but root can login to SSH, anyway to undo this? :(
[17:24] <airtonix> Guest2590, wait screenshot incoming
[17:24] <Guest2590> ok
[17:25] <fetale> hi there, I have an install that I'm rear projecting in my living room, and was hoping to create a new session or init level that would reverse the monitor output
[17:25] <NightlyUser> !chmod | xomp
[17:25] <_blackwater_> Roasted you may also try a USB or otherwise attached w/lan adapter if it's available.
[17:25] <Roasted> _blackwater_, meh. I'd rather just use something stable. After all, I have more issues than just wireless. Fore xample, I closed my laptop lid, opened it back up, and the resolution was out of whack. I'm sorry, but WTF??
[17:25] <xomp> NightlyUser, thanks but I managed to get it sorted with chmod 777 /, do you know how I can lock a user to their home folder by chance?
[17:25] <helo> Roasted: when i upgrade and it works well ;)
[17:26] <GeekSquid> fetale: your projector should have an option to reverse the screen
[17:26] <Roasted> helo, right, but have you found theres an average time you tend to wait before getting the next version?
[17:26] <caac> is there a way to change the position of notifications?
[17:26] <fetale> GeekSquip: it's a pico projector that doesn't :(
[17:26] <fetale> GeekSquid: it's a pico projector that doesn't :(
[17:27] <NightlyUser> xomp: sorry, not sure
[17:27] <duffydack> xomp, well to lock them out of other users homes just chmod 700 /home/user
[17:27] <helo> Roasted: i think most major problems that will be fixed will be within the first few months of a new release... *hands a huge grain of salt*
[17:28] <GeekSquid> fetale: you'll have to do some searching, I know, X can do it, just don't know the conf... ask in #xorg
[17:28] <Roasted> helo, yeah, after all when 904 landed, people hated it. when 910 landed, people hated it. but theyre pretty dang solid now.
[17:28] <helo> most problems that prevent me from upgrading never get fixed :/
[17:28] <Roasted> sigh...
[17:28] <JoeSomebody> i wonder if the person who told me about that real cool dark theme is around today? any suggestions appreciated
[17:28] <Roasted> helo, what problems have you had in the past that you didnt ever upgrade for?
[17:28] <xomp> duffydack, I just tried and I'm able to cd / and ls all the files there :/
[17:28] <joey-z> OK. It's my second day on ubuntu.
[17:28] <JoeSomebody> googling a while now , cant find that theme :)
[17:29] <helo> Roasted: each ubuntu after 8.10 failed to work well with my netbook... i think it was wireless related ;)
[17:29] <fetale> GeekSquid: thanks, just joined that room.
[17:29] <dyllan> Is there IRC support for the Ubuntu Shop?
[17:29] <Roasted> wow, and IMO if anything 8.10 was one of the least stable since 8.04 :P
[17:29] <duffydack> xomp, yes, you chmod 777 /  !
[17:29] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: it's a server and these are test servers
[17:29] <helo> maybe it was 8.04... been a while :)
[17:29] <xomp> duffydack, I did that earlier yes
[17:29] <JoeSomebody> http://gnome-look.org is a good place to start,  right?
[17:29] <Roasted> helo, are you currently running ubuntu on that netbook?
[17:29] <blue_anna> anyone have experience with af9015 module? (would take a miracle)
[17:30] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: I went offline, drbd??
[17:30] <duffydack> xomp, yes, I know, i`m just saying you have enabled read, write and execute on /    you shouldnt have done that.
[17:30] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: ha .. v
[17:30] <webPragmatist> http://www.drbd.org/
[17:30] <xomp> duffydack, yeah :/ I have no idea what the perms were before
[17:31] <timyeung> i am getting an Input/output error while trying to use the mv command. What am I missing?
[17:31] <duffydack> http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20080220110039  Ive tried it but I get broken pipe when trying to connect
[17:31] <helo> Roasted: running unstable debian... highly unrecommended, but it has been working well for me :)
[17:31] <Roasted> helo, have you tried all of the latest ubuntus?
[17:32] <oxidizer> hey
[17:33] <duffydack> It might work with another folder other than ~ though..  try it
[17:33] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: I learn something new every day,
[17:33] <fiukafiuka> hi, can you help me with ubuntu networking?
[17:33] <andrei_> всем привет
[17:33] <airtonix> Guest2590, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/180039/screenshots/ubuntu/Screenshot-Sound%20Preferences-Output.png
[17:33] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: hang out too much in the desktop crowd :P
[17:33] <maco> !ru | andrei_
[17:33] <xomp> I guess my only option is to completely reinstall ubuntu to fix my chmod 777 / bit of joy huh?
[17:33] <airtonix> Guest2590, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/180039/screenshots/ubuntu/Screenshot-Sound%20Preferences-Hardware.png
[17:33] <maco> xomp: yeah
[17:33] <blue_anna> anyone got a 10.10 screenshot?
[17:33] <xomp> yippie lol
[17:33] <airtonix> Guest2590, hardware tab > profile tab, & Output Tab > Connector
[17:34] <JoeSomebody> is there a channel for gnome?
[17:34] <airtonix> profile combo*
[17:34] <helo> i'm pretty sure i skipped 9.10... i don't recall if i've tried lucid on it... surely i have, but maybe i was too lazy to remove the (working) debian unstable install
[17:34] <fiukafiuka> hi, can you halp me with ubuntu networking?
[17:34] <blue_anna> JoeSomebody: ##gnome
[17:34] <blue_anna> JoeSomebody: also on irc.gnome.org
[17:34] <andrei_> потскажите как почему обновление не идет
[17:34] <ring0> could anybody explain to me, why by standard the apparmor profile of firefox is disabled?
[17:34] <blue_anna> but its pretty quiet there
[17:34] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: actually have servers, but I do mostly interface support, and catalysm for the channel
[17:34] <airtonix> Guest2590, have music playing, & try all combinations of those two dropdown menus
[17:35] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: there is #ubuntu-server
[17:35] <xomp> to make someone reinstall when they mistakenly chmod / to 777 is a bit ridiculous no? should be a way to default the perms out..
[17:35] <Guest2590> ok i am using hdmi connection through a onkyo amp.
[17:35] <maco> andrei_: anglaisiy, pojalsta
[17:35] <antonio_> how can i execute a a.out file?
[17:35] <Pici> xomp: No. If they recursively chmod / to 777 then they're pretty much out of luck.
[17:35] <fetale> what's the system path for xorg.conf on lucid lynx?
[17:36] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: can you repaste the link
[17:36] <airtonix> xomp, let it be a lesson in observance.
[17:36] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: for partitions
[17:36] <maco> andrei_: pycckij ve #ubuntu-ru
[17:36] <xomp> Pici, I did "chmod 777 /" don't know if that's recursive
[17:36] <NightlyUser> !xorg | fetale
[17:36] <GeekSquid> !partitions > webPragmatist
[17:36] <maco> xomp: wait, no -R?
[17:36] <xomp> maco, no -R at all
[17:36] <blue_anna> xomp: chmod -R is recursive
[17:36] <maco> xomp: in that case, you should be fine
[17:36] <JoeSomebody> blue_anna, thx
[17:36] <webPragmatist> thanks
[17:36] <xomp> oh lmao
[17:36] <maco> xomp: ls -l on /etc/passwd to check
[17:36] <Pici> xomp: If you didn't use the -r switch, then you should be able to just use sudo chmod / 755
[17:37] <kassah> my Xen mouse doesn't move when I have VNC up. Ubuntu Lucid as guest, mouse clicks work, keyboard works, but mouse refuses to move... cat /dev/input/mouse1 has output when mouse is moved. Any ideas?
[17:37] <Guest2590> ok will try
[17:37] <blue_anna> xomp: and by the way, chmod -R is recursive, too
[17:37] <blue_anna> :P
[17:37] <timyeung> i am getting an Input/output error while trying to use the mv command. What am I missing?
[17:37] <xomp> maco, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 977 May 25 16:23 /etc/passwd
[17:37] <maco> xomp: oh your system's fine :)
[17:37] <blue_anna> timyeung: you're moving from one mount point to another?
[17:37] <xomp> maco, best news I've heard haha thanks
[17:37] <GeekSquid> timyeung: we need to see your syntax.. to debug
[17:38] <xomp> I'll never try to lock a guest user to their home directory again
[17:38] <JoeSomebody> from default lucid, do i need to install stuff prior to trying out themes?
[17:38] <blue_anna> JoeSomebody: no
[17:38] <blue_anna> JoeSomebody: you mean appearance themes?
[17:38] <timyeung> blue_anna, yes that is correct. I am using a live disk to move files from my hard drive to an external hard drive
[17:38] <JoeSomebody> blue_anna, yes
[17:38] <tomys> hey everyone
[17:38] <tomys> i have a problem
[17:39] <hcb> hş everyone
[17:39] <GeekSquid> !ask | tomys
[17:39] <Pici> xomp: / itself should be set to 755 though, not 777.
[17:39] <blue_anna> timyeung: you can't "mv" across filesystems. there's other ways instead
[17:39] <hcb> i don't know if it is the right place
[17:39] <hcb> i have a problem with cups
[17:39] <xomp> Pici, thanks so much, I just did that :)
[17:39] <timyeung> GeekSquid, ok here is comes: sudo mv /media/f24- ect....  /mnt
[17:39] <Pici> xomp: great :)
[17:40] <NightlyUser> !cups | hcb
[17:40] <xomp> Pici, you seem to know a bit about permissions, do you know how I can keep a specific user from traversing outside their home folder?
[17:40] <xomp> Pici, or atleast make the other files not owned by them seeable?
[17:40] <timyeung> blue_anna, please indulge me
[17:40] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: i don't get how this helps… should there be another partition for grub/
[17:40] <blue_anna> timyeung: I'm forgetting it :P the way I used to do it was with a pair of tar commands piped together.. lookng for that online
[17:41] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: this is like a hard disk overview, and btw, theres some stuff called partitions
[17:41] <hcb> cups message is failed to connect to server
[17:41] <hcb> when i try to connect
[17:41] <timyeung> blue_anna, I would really appreciate it!!! I have been working on this for weeks now
[17:42] <Pici> xomp: Do you plan on letting them actually use ssh, or just scp/sftp?
[17:42] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: no, grub lives in the MBR
[17:42] <maco> xomp: regular unix permissions... youd have to chgrp everything except their home to some group that doesnt include them then chang permissions to be no-read on group on everything, and thats yucky. however, policykit may give you the finer-grained control you want
[17:42] <Guest2590> I have tried the various setting and no good.  However on the output tab I do not have the choice of choosing Connectors
[17:42] <xomp> Pici, scp/sftp actually
[17:42] <NightlyUser> !gparted | webPragmatist
[17:42] <pdg11> I'm trying to mount a windows NTFS drive from a live CD and it's giving me an error
[17:42] <tomys> My wifi connection is not detected and I cannot use it to connect to the internet. when starting up "hardware devices" it tells me that some packages were not found and most hardware will not be detected. the list is blank. when i click on the connection sign, it says i have a wired connection that is disconnected. however i have a wireless network at home and it is not using it. how can i solve this problem?
[17:42] <blue_anna> timyeung: here it is: (cd FROMDIR tar -clpSf - . | (cd TODIR ; tar -xpSf - ))
[17:42] <webPragmatist> NightlyUser: this is Server thanks
[17:42] <maco> xomp: i thought there was an sftp setting for that
[17:42] <Guest2590> Maybe because using HDMI
[17:42] <webPragmatist> dont have gprted
[17:42] <NightlyUser> ok
[17:42] <webPragmatist> gparted seems to be the crutch of partitioning in here though lool
[17:42] <Pici> xomp: Then you probably can install rssh and set that user's login shell to that.
[17:42] <helo> blue_anna: typo
[17:43] <webPragmatist> i'm actually in the installer
[17:43] <webPragmatist> so it's just a matter of figuring out the schema
[17:43] <Pici> xomp: The package is in the repos, but heres their website as well for more info: http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/
[17:43] <timyeung> blue_anna is there a web site?
[17:43] <NightlyUser> it uses parted as the backed i think
[17:43] <webPragmatist> right
[17:43] <NightlyUser> backend
[17:43] <xomp> Pici, thanks \o
[17:43] <webPragmatist> should the Linux OS have the bootable flag
[17:43] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: yes
[17:43] <timyeung> blue_anna, I would like to know what those commands mean
[17:44] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: should i be specifying mount points other than /
[17:44] <tomys> My wifi connection is not detected and I cannot use it to connect to the internet. when starting up "hardware devices" it tells me that some packages were not found and most hardware will not be detected. the list is blank. when i click on the connection sign, it says i have a wired connection that is disconnected. however i have a wireless network at home and it is not using it. how can i solve this problem?
[17:44] <webPragmatist> in order to separate the os and drbd (/var /etc /home)
[17:44] <xomp> Pici, any reason I can't login via SSH with the other account I have now?
[17:44] <xomp> Pici, after chmod 755 to /
[17:45] <pdg11> it's telling something about about how it's getting an error saying it's already in use
[17:45] <blue_anna> helo, timyeung the website was at http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-390@vm.marist.edu/msg33698.html
[17:45] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: your drbd can be /drbd and / as your root OS
[17:45] <hcb> could anyone help me about cups problem
[17:45] <NightlyUser> !wireless | tomys
[17:45] <blue_anna> there was a typo ? let me debug it on my terminal -- just a sec :)
[17:45] <helo> add semicolon to middle of first ()
[17:45] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: how am i mapping the /etc /var /home ?
[17:45] <Pici> xomp: What error are you getting?
[17:45] <blue_anna> I'll write me a "ditto" script and add it to my ~/bin so I don't have to remember that monster
[17:45] <timyeung> tomys,  I have had the problem too. connect your computer via ethernet cable and install the hard ware drivers
[17:45] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: 1 hard drive?
[17:46] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: yes
[17:46] <tomys> hardware drivers?
[17:46] <xomp> Pici, SSH shows the login screen and after I verify password it just closes the SSH window, no error. In WinSCP it says "Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended)."
[17:46] <duffydack> xomp, well thats apparently how to chroot ssh the users. http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=229     when you fix your perms:)
[17:46] <blue_anna> oo yea  heloo, thanks -- that's it -- actually replace the semicolons with &&'s so you get a failsafe version in case you screw up in the FROM or TO dirs
[17:46] <abhishek> hello
[17:46] <blue_anna> (cd FROMDIR && tar -clpSf - . | (cd TODIR && tar -xpSf - ))
[17:47] <abhishek> i cant set my destop resolution to my monitors native resolution
[17:47] <abhishek> help
[17:47] <ohir> xomp: update winscp. If its freshest and still gives such message, report it to winscp authors
[17:47] <NightlyUser> !xorg | abhishek
[17:47] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: /var /home /etc will be in / by default... /home might want to be on its own, depending on userspace needs, usually not for servers
[17:47] <abhishek> i updated all the ubuntu from update manager and updated the driver for my nvidia 9600gt
[17:47] <timyeung> blue_anna, ok here goes
[17:48] <xomp> ohir, I don't think it's a WinSCP issue since I literally fubar'd my permissions but a few moments ago lol
[17:48] <xomp> not sure how it's a WinSCP issue
[17:48] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: its in /home on server
[17:48] <Pici> xomp: Hrm.  I'm not sure I've seen that before.  Unforuntately, I need to run to a meeting now -__- , so I can't really help you troubleshoot further. Maybe someone else here can.
[17:48] <ohir> xomp do ssh -v you@thathost and pastebin log
[17:49] <oxidizer> hey any one installed hydra on ubuntu 10.04
[17:49] <tomys> where do i install what hardware drivers??
[17:49] <blue_anna> timyeung: what it does is -- bracketing it in a parenthesis does it in a subshell so you end up without changes -- try this to see what I mean CCC="BBB" ; (CCC="DDD" ; echo $CCC); echo $CCC
[17:49] <T3CHKOMMIE> hey guys, is it possible to server active directory from ubuntu server?
[17:49] <oxidizer> hey any one installed hydra on ubuntu 10.04
[17:49] <xomp> ohir, http://pastebin.com/E8VzZycB
[17:50] <ohir> xomp: yes. It might be result of screwed up permissions too. Do sudo chmod -R go-rwx /home/xomp
[17:50] <Lokiheero> how to ssh to a computer online
[17:50] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: /home only needs its own partition if you plan to fill it
[17:50] <blue_anna> timyeung: the outer parenthesis goes into the fromdir and the adds all of it to a tar file, which it writes to standardout .. tthen it pipes to the inner parens which cd to the output dir and unpacks the tarfile, restoring the directory structure in place
[17:50] <timyeung> blue_anna, I did not use bracketing! I thought that was you telling me the command
[17:51] <timyeung> blue_anna, it has not responded yet
[17:51] <blue_anna> timyeung: the outer brackets werent necessary
[17:51] <blue_anna> timyeung: the inner ones were though
[17:51] <ohir> xomp: do then sudo chmod 0755 /bin/*
[17:51] <xomp> ohir, sudo chmod -R go-rwx /home/xomp did not seem to help, I'm still unable to login heh
[17:51] <oxidizer> hey any one installed hydra on ubuntu 10.04
[17:51] <Njh> is there anyway to keep older versions of debian packages in a repo
[17:51] <timyeung> ok I know | separates commands
[17:51] <blue_anna> timyeung: if you don't add the outer brackets, you'll end up in the directory you wanted to move -- if you keep the brackets, it won't change your directory just to back up files
[17:52] <theadmin> Can I prevent /dev/sdb3 automounting on me?
[17:52] <timyeung> blue_anna, still no response
[17:52] <NightlyUser> !fstab | theadmin
[17:52] <napsy> Hello. Can I somehow add my own wpa_supplicant options to a networkmanager connection?
[17:52] <idlecool> theadmin: on you??
[17:52] <timyeung> it is an 80 gig file system so i figure it might take a minute
[17:52] <theadmin> NightlyUser: I'd wish... it's a removable device
[17:53] <NightlyUser> theadmin: there should be a settings dialog for that then
[17:53] <abhishek> umm..my screen max resolution is 1680 x 1050 and i cant find it on the list, i updated every thing, and display driver also
[17:53] <Gump> ever since updating to ubuntu 10.04, my windows vista install on another partition will not boot from GRUB. supposedly a number of other people have had this issue, but i have not found a solution yet?
[17:53] <abhishek> help
[17:53] <fellipe_brasil> Hi friends.. I'm getting trouble with ATI RADEON 4200 (onboard) in ubuntu 8.04. I can only set as maximum resolution, 800x600. Can anyone help?
[17:54] <ohir> xomp you likely will need to get your binaries perms right. There is a bunch of suid binaries in bin you then manually have to correct
[17:54] <theadmin> NightlyUser: Point is that the partition is bootable and accessing it from a working system is, well, pointless :P
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: what video card?
[17:54] <abhishek> 9600gt nvidia
[17:54] <theadmin> NightlyUser: And it sits there in Places menu taking up my screen space
[17:54] <Gump> fellipe_brasil: is your card running at all? ever since updating to ubuntu 10.04 my ATI RADEON card has not been able to run at all
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: ok this is simple enough
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings
[17:54] <abhishek> #ActionParsnip ok
[17:55] <timyeung> blue_anna, was that possibly a fatal mistake?
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: set the resolution to something (not auto) and click save to X config file
[17:55] <abhishek> is that one command or two lines
[17:55] <idlecool> Gump: the easiest way is reinstall grub, it will take care of configurations :)
[17:55] <theadmin> abhishek: semicolon for bash separates commands
[17:55] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: hrmm… well…
[17:55] <Gump> idlecool, awesome. i can't figure out how to reinstall grub though...
[17:55] <NightlyUser> theadmin: so you just want it to apply to that particular drive?
[17:55] <theadmin> abhishek: So same thing :P
[17:55] <abhishek> just a sec
[17:55] <theadmin> NightlyUser: Well, more or less yes.
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    find the res you just set and change it to what you wish, save the new file, close gedit, then reboot. done
[17:55] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: I'd rather have it distributed in the event i store random junk in it on my user account
[17:56] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist: good plan
[17:56] <blue_anna> timyeung: control-c out of it and give me a sec .. I'm writing a little ruby script to handle it
[17:56] <ohir> xomp: you need at least: cd /bin && chmod 04755 fusermount mount ping ping6 umount
[17:56] <blue_anna> timyeung: do you have ruby ?
[17:56] <fellipe_brasil> Gump: Sorry, I didn't understand.
[17:56] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: sorry if you mentioned it above i missed it… do i need a separate partition for each of these directories?
[17:56] <idlecool> Gump: apt-get remove grub2; apt-get install grub2 ;)
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: i give the exact commands so you can copy / paste
[17:56] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: /etc /var /home
[17:56] <abhishek> im getting an error
[17:56] <theadmin> idlecool: Weird way
[17:56] <LordNeo> hello all and thanks before hand. I'm making a local mirror of the ubuntu repositories on an external drive. I want to know : If i want to use it on another computer do i need to install apache and set the stuff to read it or can i use the directory directly?
[17:56] <abhishek> vaidation error
[17:56] <theadmin> idlecool: sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc
[17:57] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist:  just /home
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: can you pastebin the text please
[17:57] <timyeung> blue_anna, I am using a live disk to do this
[17:57] <abhishek> but it opened the penguin nvidia x server settings
[17:57] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: why? i'm confused
[17:57] <timyeung> blue_anna, I am using Ubuntu 10.04 live disk
[17:57] <blue_anna> timyeung: do "ruby -v" on a terminal
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: cool follow the instructions
[17:57] <abhishek> umm. sorry
[17:57] <NightlyUser> theadmin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=864390 not sure if that helps
[17:57] <theadmin> LordNeo: To /etc/apt/sources.list: deb file://media/yourdisk/yourfolder lucid main
[17:57] <Gump> fellipe_brasil: is the ATI driver installed at all? ever since i updated to ubuntu 10.04, fglrx has been broken
[17:58] <timyeung> blue_anna, not installed
[17:58] <idlecool> theadmin: ohh --reinstall flag, never bothered of :o
[17:58] <GeekSquid> webPragmatist:  /home is where you store user files, everything else is the OS,
[17:58] <timyeung> i can apt-get it wait, no internet currently
[17:58] <LordNeo> thanks theadmin
[17:58] <tomys> I do not know how to solve my connection problem. I am a newbie and so please be more elaborate when helping me. Where do I install what hardware drivers and how do I install them? I use a broadcom device and i am running ubuntu on a macbook.
[17:58] <blue_anna> timyeung: ok yea you'll have to get it right then :P
[17:58] <webPragmatist> GeekSquid: but i also want to keep /etc and /var off the os drive

[17:59] <blue_anna> timyeung: do it this way -- you'll see output telling you which files are being copied (cd FROMDIR && tar -cvlpSf - . | (cd /absolute_path/TODIR && tar -xpSf - ))
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> tomys: connect using a wired connection, the driver will more than likely be offered to you
[17:59] <blue_anna> timyeung: so you dont have to guess if it is working
[17:59] <tomys> Thank you.
[17:59] <tomys> :)
[17:59] <Gump> idlecool: i ran what you gave me and got this "Package grub2 is not installed, so not removed"

[18:03] <xs2ubuntu> blue_anna : ok nvm tq
[18:03] <blue_anna> timyeung: are you creating a new dir for the destination ?
[18:03] <blue_anna> timyeung: create that first
[18:03] <timyeung> blue_anna, or does it have to be an existing dir
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> lengend: run: top -n 1   what is output (use pastebin)
[18:04] <lengend> zenlunatic, apparently gnome-system-monitor takes like 56% and Java was taking 106% :S
[18:04] <blue_anna> timyeung: yes
[18:04] <timyeung> blue_anna, i don't need to
[18:04] <timyeung> blue_anna, i was just curious
[18:04] <NightlyUser> xs2ubuntu: perhaph #kubuntu could help better, kopete is a kde app
[18:04] <blue_anna> timyeung: you do, the destination must exist because you'll be cd'ing into it
[18:04] <zenlunatic> lengend, yeah. java and flash will do that
[18:04] <blue_anna> timyeung: and the path can either be absolute, like starting at root "/" ,, or it can be relative to the FROMDIR

[18:07] <lengend> zenlunatic, that command doesn't work and ActionParsnip what can i do to make it better?
[18:07] <abhishek> ??
[18:07] <abhishek> i dont understand?
[18:08] <timyeung> blue_anna, thank you for your help so far this is the farthest I have gotten with this
[18:08] <Gump_> just re-installed GRUB, tried to boot windows, and it still goes to a blank screen with a blinking white cursor
[18:08] <Gump_> it has been doing this ever since i installed ubuntu 10.04
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: you pastebinned the xorg.conf file, you now need to copy the address bar in the browser and paste it here
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> lengend: are you using 64bit ubuntu?
[18:08] <timyeung> blue_anna, I am also getting cannot mkdir: Input/output error on some files
[18:08] <blue_anna> timyeung: oo, use sudo
[18:08] <NightlyUser> !pastebin | abhishek
[18:09] <Gump_> i have noticed though that while it appears to be doing nothing when it goes to the screen with the blinking white cursor, the CPU heats up and appears to be doing something intensive
[18:09] <blue_anna> timyeung: please do df -k and paste output on pastebin.ws
[18:09] <idlecool> gump_: did you tried startup repair for windows?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: or if thats too hard: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    what is outout?
[18:09] <timyeung> blue_anna, I am, I typed in sudo -i before typing the tar ect command
[18:09] <Gump_> idlecool: i don't have a windows disk and i can't even get it to load windows far enough to get to startup repair from my disk
[18:10] <abhishek> umm its reading some databases
[18:10] <blue_anna> timyeung: add a sudo before each tar command in the commandline I gave you too, but you should not get errors for the output unless there is a disk space issue
[18:10] <helo> abhishek: war eagle
[18:10] <undecim> mixxit: Got anywhere with the old laptop?
[18:10] <blue_anna> timyeung: ok, so does df-k have anything at or near 100%
[18:10] <Gump_> so. no. i guess i'll try and download startup repair and put it on a cd?
[18:10] <wweasel> Could someone knowledgeable give me a hand: What is the most efficient protocol for a remote filesystem? Presumably between SMB, SSHFS and FTP, unless there's another better one.
[18:10] <abhishek> should i copy paste the entire out put?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: its installing pastebinit via cli, you most likely use software-centre
[18:10] <blue_anna> timyeung: besides the cd :P
[18:10] <idlecool> gump_:  startup repair can be done from DISK only
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> wweasel: define efficient
[18:10] <aaroncampbell> I have a bunch of images that I need to resize, each needs to have a max width or height of 1600px and keep the aspect ratio.  Is there a program that can do that on Ubuntu?  I usually used IrfanView on Windows.
[18:10] <michelle_> how can i find out if i have ubuntu 10.04 lts or netbook edition?
[18:11] <abhishek> last line is a link "pastebin"
[18:11] <timyeung> blue_anna, I will once it is finished. I have an 80gig and a 100 gig HDD to transfer
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> wweasel: ftp is highly inefficient and uses 2 ports for data transfers
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: yes copy that and paste it here
[18:11] <wweasel> ActionParsnip, fastest data throughput
[18:11] <blue_anna> timyeung: ok but its not a good backup if you're getting errors ..I mean I guess you know what you're doing :)
[18:11] <abhishek> http://pastebin.com
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> wweasel: smb or ftp then, fastest != efficient
[18:11] <blue_anna> timyeung: you can open another terminal while that is running and do the df -k now
[18:11] <NightlyUser> lol
[18:11] <idlecool> gump_: once you do startup repair and you succeed in that! then you need to reconfigure grub! which is a very easy task! :)
[18:11] <wweasel> ActionParsnip, what do you mean by efficient then?
[18:12] <abhishek> i think thats not what u meant?
[18:12] <Gump_> idlecool: before the install of ubuntu 10.04, windows vista had some problems after i partitioned the disk, so it automatically ran startup repair and fixed itself. now it won't even show the windows loading screen, so yeah
[18:12] <abhishek> right?
[18:12] <SensiblesEstamos> Hi all
[18:12] <wweasel> ActionParsnip, I'm trying to determine which is best for streaming video from my server to my HTPC.
[18:12] <michelle_> if i have 10.04 lts on a laptop should i change it to the netbook version? if i am having trouble geting my wifi to work?
[18:12] <michelle_> and can i use a cd instead of usb flash
[18:12] <LordNeo> is "theadmin" around?
[18:12] <wweasel> ActionParsnip, I presume not SSHFS, becaues that unnecessarily involves an encrypted stream.
[18:12] <NightlyUser> !wireless | michelle_
[18:12] <undecim> michelle_: The netbook version won't give you any better wifi
[18:12] <timyeung> blue_anna, i just formated the drive, it has 250 gigs available.
[18:13] <idlecool> Gump_: it is ok! boot the vista disk to do startup repair
[18:13] <Njh> when creating a personal debian package, do you have to explicitly say where you want it installed?
[18:13] <blue_anna> timyeung: ooh, hmm. where they /dev files you were getting errors on ?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> wweasel: its massively dependant on the situation the protocol is being used, the out of band control in ftp is highly advantageous and may be necesssary some situations which would make ftp efficient, if you are concerned for port use then it isnt. there is no one blanket answer to a choice between technologies like that
[18:13] <abhishek> ActionParsnip: i did not encounter this resolution problem the last few times i installed ubuntu, why is this hhappenin now. i dint change any thing
[18:13] <michelle_> nightlyuser what is the difference in 10.04 lts and netbook edition?
[18:13] <Gump_> idlecool: you mean the cd that came with my computer? there isn't one, just a second hard disk with all the windows install files on it
[18:14] <NightlyUser> michelle_: absolutly nothing when it comes to wireless drivers
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: thats how i've always defined oddball resolutions
[18:14] <michelle_> ok
[18:14] <Gump_> i have ubuntu and vista duel booting from the same hd
[18:14] <undecim> michelle_: The only difference is the graphical interface. The netbook edition is meant to work well with small screens
[18:14] <michelle_> o
[18:14] <blue_anna> timyeung: are you backing up an entire disk? or restoring one? if its the second, you almost certainly want to use dd instead
[18:15] <wweasel> ActionParsnip, hrm, well then, moving past the vague and imprecise word "efficient" that I used originally... Which would you use for streaming videos from a server to an HTPC on the same network?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: if you run:    pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    you will get a link like this: http://pastebin.com/59YiJyra what does your outout
[18:15] <idlecool> oh! :o i cant help out with that! :( well! if you be able to repair the startup reinstall your grub, here is the link http://casquid.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/grub-reinstallation/
[18:15] <undecim> michelle_: They both have the same stuff under the hood, so you will still have the same wireless software.
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> wweasel: samba
[18:15] <timyeung> blue_anna, I think I need to explain somethings to you real quik like
[18:15] <abhishek> is there no other way , like a monitor driver update or somin, which recognises my samsung 2243lnx and its default resoulution
[18:15] <undecim> michelle_: Do you know what model wireless card you have?
[18:15] <wweasel> ActionParsnip, and why?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> wweasel: if you define and constrain the situation rather than you using a vague and imprecise question you will get better answers
[18:15] <randy_> Hi, how does one rip a complete DVD fully automatically with GUI on Linux? A freind tries K9copy + dvd:rip but both require you to make individual settings for the encoding of each track you rip. selecting this globally does not seem possible.
[18:15] <idlecool> gump_: btw! google for some alternative.
[18:16] <wweasel> ActionParsnip, (i ask why not because I doubt that it's the best answer, but because I'd like to understand too)
[18:16] <randy_> said linux is actually ubuntu lucid
 its just plain "http://pastebin.com"
[18:16] <undecim> randy_: dvdshrink rill run in Wine
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> wweasel: samba can be accessed by nearly anything and will allow access from a larger amount of systems, the security in sshfs is unneeded as it is only for LAN streaming and samba shares are by far the easiest to setup
[18:17] <Gump_> idlecool: done, i think i found something. thanks
[18:17] <InvaderZim> randy_: you can use dvdshrink with wine
[18:17] <NightlyUser> abhishek: he wants you to upload your xorg.conf to pastebin and give him the link to that
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: ok what is output when you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[18:17] <abhishek> ActionParsnip: is there no other way , like a monitor driver update or somin, which recognises my samsung 2243lnx and its default resoulution
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> randy_: acidrip maybe
[18:17] <caac> hello everyone, is it possible to move the notification-bubbles?
[18:17] <wweasel> ActionParsnip, I am running XBMC on a Ubuntu 10.04 HTPC, and it will be streaming videos, mostly SD but some HD, over a wired network (100, not gigabit).  The server is Debian stable.
[18:17] <LordNeo> sorry to ask again, i'm doing a localmirror on an external harddrive, but i don't want to configure apache on each computer to use the mirror (locally) theadmin told me that i can use the line "deb file:/media/ExternalDrive/ubuntu-repo" or something like that to do it, but i don't know if i have to add something at the end like "deb file:/media/ExpansionDrive/ubuntu-repo/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main lucid" or similar
[18:17] <idlecool> Gump_: welcome :)
[18:17] <randy_> undecim, InvaderZim: thanks for your help. but that's a bit sad of an answer, I was hoping for a native solution.
[18:18] <wweasel> ActionParsnip, streaming videos from the server.
[18:18] <InvaderZim> randy_: k9copy works just fine
[18:18] <Guest30182> Reagent  me a gui program for  make programs in each lng
[18:18] <abhishek> ohh!! thax nightlyuser
[18:18] <abhishek> i understand now
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> abhishek: if you have 3d accel then the driver is doing its thing. You could remove the current driver, add the nvidia-vdpau ppa and install nvidia-glx-185 which will give the 195 driver, works here on my 6150
[18:18] <randy_> InvaderZim: FullFlannelJacke automatically without a need to select tracks and their encoding? it didn't look like it.
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> wweasel: samba is fine
[18:18] <randy_> InvaderZim: fully automatically without a need to select tracks and their encoding? it didn't look like it.
[18:19] <Guest30182> Reagent  me a gui program for  make programs in each lng
[18:19] <randy_> FullFlannelJacke: sorry, ignore me
[18:19] <InvaderZim> randy_: I neved had to do that
[18:19] <michelle_> undecim http://paste.ubuntu.com/439451/
[18:20] <randy_> InvaderZim: doesn't this seem like a logical approach? you have one DVD and you want a complete copy of it...
[18:20] <abhishek> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/WxPTzCh2
[18:20] <michelle_> undecim i am just teaching myself ubuntu
[18:20] <InvaderZim> randy_: yes, I just click on copy
[18:20] <humbolt> ffmpeg does not have x264 encoding profiles in lucid!
[18:20] <wad> Wow! Empathy ROCKS!!
[18:20] <humbolt> where did they go?
[18:20] <InvaderZim> randy_: I don't select tracks and enconding
[18:20] <randy_> InvaderZim: so it just copies but doesn't transcode then?
[18:21] <InvaderZim> randy_: its configured to a dvd size of 4400MB
[18:21] <abhishek> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/tjNVhR03
[18:21] <InvaderZim> randy_: it will reencode to shrink
[18:21] <NightlyUser> abhishek: sorry he's gone
[18:21] <InvaderZim> randy_: you can change that in settings
[18:21] <abhishek> omg i actually learnt what pastebin was and he left
[18:21] <abhishek> *sigh
[18:22] <abhishek> any body else can help me?
[18:22] <LordNeo> sorry to ask again, i'm doing a localmirror on an external harddrive, but i don't want to configure apache on each computer to use the mirror (locally) theadmin told me that i can use the line "deb file:/media/ExternalDrive/ubuntu-repo" or something like that to do it, but i don't know if i have to add something at the end like "deb file:/media/ExpansionDrive/ubuntu-repo/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main lucid" or similar
[18:22] <abhishek> its a simple resolution problem , i think
[18:22] <NightlyUser> abhishek: i'll try
[18:22] <NightlyUser> abhishek: can you upload your xorg.conf file?
[18:22] <abhishek> i cant get my ubuntu to display my monitors max resolution
[18:22] <undecim> michelle_: Are you able to connect at all with wireless?
[18:23] <abhishek> umm what code should i paste in  terminal for that output :) ?
[18:23] <michelle_> undecim no it has been troubling me  for the past week
[18:23] <rampageoberon> hi, i'm having some trouble with samba and symlinks - i get access denied for any symlinks. pls help
[18:23] <LordNeo> abhishek, get the file, it's on the folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:23] <michelle_> undecim since i installed ubuntu
[18:23] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: check the rights on the symlinks target
[18:23] <NightlyUser> abhishek: copy the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to pastebin and give me the link
[18:24] <gottto> abhishek: in terminal   xrandr   lists the available resolutions
[18:24] <undecim> michelle_: Run "iwconfig" in a terminal
[18:25] <LordNeo> someone can throw me some light on my issue please?
[18:25] <rampageoberon> ||arifaX: root owns the files, but 777 permissions

[18:25] <mickep> Hi, With 10.04 I have problems with my usb speakers. The sound is very low until a certain level (see http://home.imf.au.dk/mickep/volume.png ). If I raise it just a little bit over that level, it gets terribly high. Any ideas?
[18:25] <LordNeo> abhishek: open the folder on nautilus, then copy the file to your desktop and then to pastebin
[18:26] <abhishek> nautilus?
[18:26] <NightlyUser> abhishek: use the file manager to find /etc/X11/xorg.conf open it with a text editor and copy it to pastebin, then give me the link
[18:26] <rampageoberon> ||arifaX: even setting "follow symlinks" and "wide links" to yes doesn't work
[18:26] <LordNeo> the default file explorer
[18:26] <michelle_> undecim what next
[18:26] <randy_> thanks InvaderZim
[18:26] <LordNeo> just go to "Places->Computer"
[18:26] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, I am rescuing a windows install from linux. Is it possible to use the chntpw tool to search a windows registry for keys with a certain value? I can only browse it and modify the registry, but not search. Or is there any other tool to access a windows registry from inside linux?
[18:26] <undecim> michelle_: What was the output of iwconfig?
[18:26] <undecim> michelle_: put it in a pastebin
[18:26] <abhishek> jus a sec im trying to find it
[18:26] <askhader> SmokeyD: What do you want to modify the registry for?
[18:27] <LordNeo> Please help me with this, i'm doing a localmirror on an external harddrive, but i don't want to configure apache on each computer to use the mirror (locally) theadmin told me that i can use the line "deb file:/media/ExternalDrive/ubuntu-repo" or something like that to do it, but i don't know if i have to add something at the end like "deb file:/media/ExpansionDrive/ubuntu-repo/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main lucid" or similar
[18:27] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: check this out first http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-set-permissions-to-samba-shares.html
[18:27] <helo> askhader: to circumvent an access control mechanism, no doubt
[18:27] <askhader> helo: Bah stupid Winbl0wz
[18:27] <SmokeyD> askhader:takes too much time to explain. Just suppose I want to, how would I search it. I can edit it, just not search it from within ubuntu I think....
[18:27] <michelle_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/439453/
[18:27] <LordNeo> do i have to add "main lucid" or something like that to work or can i use only the path to the pool folder?

[18:28] <datacrusher> hello everyone! i updated my notebook from 9.10 to 10.04, and i used to have an option menu when i clicked with the right mouse button over an image, and let me "convert" the image to some smaller formats. now I dont got it, how do i get it back?
[18:28] <lengend> ActionParsnip, using 32bit
[18:28] <askhader> datacrusher: Do you know hwo to use Gimp?
[18:28] <askhader> datacrusher: Or fspot?
[18:28] <undecim> michelle_: Do you see your network and cannot connect, or do you not see your network at all?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Lengend: what video card?
[18:28] <idlecool> datacrusher: that might be a nautilus script
[18:29] <randy_> bye bye
[18:29] <datacrusher> askhader, i got both here, bit i need that fast tool
[18:29] <datacrusher> very useful
[18:29] <datacrusher> to batch convert many images
[18:29] <datacrusher> when i open fspot it keeps thinking forever
[18:29] <askhader> datacrusher: Hmm, it was probably something that Ubuntu decided to remove with the upgrade. I cannot think of what it is off the top of my head
[18:29] <datacrusher> only works with small folders
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Lengend: lspci | grep -i vga ,will tell you
[18:29] <michelle_> i havn't been able to find or connect to networks

[18:30] <abhishek> wow i figured it out
[18:30] <michelle_> undecim ^^^with this laptop
 did u get the link?
[18:30] <abhishek> is that what u wanted?
[18:30] <lengend> ActionParsnip, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce Go 7600] (rev a1)
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> Datacrusher: if its for batch manipulation then you can use the imagemagick toolset in bash scripts
[18:30] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: also on the target, where the symlink points to?
[18:30] <rampageoberon> ||arifaX: yes thats correct
[18:30] <abhishek> ActionParsnip:http://pastebin.com/rE1hY5sk
[18:31] <abhishek> is that what u asked for earlier?
[18:31] <undecim> michelle_: Do you have an ethernet connection you can use to connect this laptop to the internet?
[18:31] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: are you connecting with a linux or windows machine?
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> Lengend: you could try the 10.1 flash plugin. Uninstall all flash packages. Grab the linux tar.gz file and extract it. Copy the .so file to your browsers plugin directory
[18:31] <idlecool> datacrusher: downlaod nautilus scripts from gnome-look.org/
[18:31] <rampageoberon> ||arifaX: Windows machine
[18:31] <datacrusher> for imagemagik?

[18:32] <undecim> michelle_: alright (thought you might be on another computer, lol). Everything seems to be fine hardware-wise, I think the problem might be the network manager...
[18:32] <undecim> michelle_: Try installing "wicd" which is an alternate network manager
 yes thats my monitors max resolution but im at somin diffeternt
[18:33] <michelle_> undecim :

[18:34] <jr-minnaar> Hi! I'm  a total noob in both IRC and Ubuntu... can someone help via private chat please?
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Abhishek: in the subsection in the screen section, under the depth 24 line: Modes "1024x768_60"
[18:34] <resno> jr-minnaar: whats your problem?
[18:34] <jr-minnaar> Jut installed 10.04 and got some problems
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Abhishek: obv change 1024x768 to your usual res
[18:34] <undecim> michelle_: After installing, you will need to run "sudo service network-manager stop" and "sudo service wicd restart" in the terminal to give wicd control of the card
[18:35] <jr-minnaar> My usb ports are extremely slow
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Abhishek: save the file and reboot. If it doesn't fly try changing the underscore to an @
[18:35] <NightlyUser> abhishek: looking at that file, it should default to max res
[18:35] <michelle_> undecim http://paste.ubuntu.com/439457/
[18:35] <resno> jr-minnaar: what makes you think they are slower then usual?
[18:35] <abhishek> sorry i dint get u, subsection where?
[18:35] <abhishek> in that text of xconfig?
[18:36] <rampageoberon> ||arifaX: wow, think i got it sorted - adding "unix extensions = no" to global config seems to have fixed it
[18:36] <abhishek> in that text of the file i gave you , should i modify that?
[18:36] <NightlyUser> abhishek: yes xorg.conf
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Abhishek: in the screen section of xorg.conf there is a subsection named display. Add it there
[18:36] <jr-minnaar> I plugged in my usual flashdisk and tried to copy something from it. It took very long. Also my usb mouse is sluggish and responds with a delay
[18:36] <undecim> michelle_: Are you able to view web pages?
[18:36] <NightlyUser> abhishek: make sure you edit it as root
[18:36] <||arifaX> km
[18:37] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: kay
[18:37] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: I would read http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html and search for "windows". check out if one of the settings might help you
[18:37] <LordNeo> can someone help me with a local mirror question?
[18:37] <michelle_> undecim yes
[18:37] <resno> jr-minnaar: when responding could you place use my name? is your machine completing any tasks? try opening terminal and typing top
[18:37] <undecim> michelle_: Try agian. I think that error is a fluke
[18:37] <rampageoberon> thanks for the help ||arifaX, appreciate it
[18:37] <michelle_> undecim tho i have trouble getting almost every apt i want
[18:37] <NightlyUser> !ask | LordNeo
[18:37] <Psycho_Mario> nc (netcat) no longer has a -e option; what happened to this and how can i regain this functionality?
[18:38] <LordNeo> i already posted my question but noone answered :P
[18:38] <michelle_> undecim could i have a repository problem
[18:38] <LordNeo> here it goes again, i'm doing a local mirror, and i want to know how is the line i need to add to sources.list
[18:38] <michelle_> undecim tried twice same thing
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Psycho_mario: what did the -e switch achieve?
 umm which line the "twin " or the "metamodes" and how do i edit it as root?"
[18:38] <undecim> michelle_: Try going to system -> Administration -> Software sources and change "Download from" from United States to Main Server
[18:38] <LordNeo> someone told me it has to be something like "deb file:/path/to/pool/"
Like this? no only the usual processes are listed
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> Abhishek: under the Depth 24 line
[18:39] <undecim> michelle_: Then try again
[18:39] <LordNeo> but i don't know if i need to add something like "main" "lucid" or something like that
[18:39] <LordNeo> or can i use only the path
[18:39] <Psycho_Mario> ActionParsnip; it enabled you to have basically a bash shell waiting at the other end, so you could execute commands. massive security flaw i know, but it was useful
 u mean default depth?
[18:39] <resno> jr-minnaar: yes. in the top menu. what is your load avg? top right of the window
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> Abhishek_: to edit as root run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,you ran the command earlier
[18:40] <undecim> LordNeo: I think that it needs to work the same way as http. So add those like you would add an http mirror
 and how do i knw if im editing it as root?
[18:40] <LordNeo> undecim, well, i don't know exactly wich ones should i use :S
[18:40] <NightlyUser> abishek: what ActionParsnip said
[18:40] <undecim> LordNeo: "lucid main" on the end, for example
[18:40] <LordNeo> i just installed apt-mirror and modified the destinations directories xD
[18:41] <scottj> In gnome when you press the display key (fn + f4 on my laptop) what command does it run to cycle through different display configurations (for projectors/ext monitors etc)
[18:41] <abhishek> k
My load average is 0.15, 0.75, 0.9
[18:41] <juanca> ubuntu doesn't recognize my monitor, it's a flatron LG capable of resolutions greater than 800x600...  transparency in AWN doesn't render either. I've tried a couple of tutorials but nothing works
[18:42] <undecim> juanca: Have you make sure that you've enabled any video drivers available in system -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers?
[18:42] <LordNeo> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/b9geYVcS this is my mirror.list
[18:42] <resno> jr-minnaar: is may be a usb driver problem. someone else will need to help
[18:42] <LordNeo> do i have to add a line per each line on this?
Thanks
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Lordneo: if nobody replys, ask in #bash ,they have mad skills
[18:43] <undecim> LordNeo: Just replace http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu with the path yo your local mirror
[18:43] <LordNeo> so then i do have to add a line per each
[18:43] <jr-minnaar> It seems i've got a USB driver problem after a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04? Any help out there?
[18:43] <undecim> LordNeo: yup
[18:43] <LordNeo> thanks undecim, i will keep the ActionParsnip suggestion
[18:43] <juanca> undecim: with that I only get a window that says I'm not using propietary controllers
[18:44] <LordNeo> to see if i can reduce it to only one line
[18:44] <undecim> juanca: Open a terminal and run "lspci | grep VGA" and post the output
[18:44] <resno> jr-minnaar: maybe this can help you. http://ocaoimh.ie/ubuntu-linux-slow-external-usb-drive/
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Lordneo: if you only want one line, rename the current file and make a new one with the one line which works
[18:45] <jr-minnaar> Resno: again thank you very much. I'll try that!

[18:45] <chegney> is there a way to nfs mount my google docs?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Chgney: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread253207.html
[18:47] <artisan> ok, I got a serious speed problem with lucid now. it is a box with a nvidia card. 3d rendering seems ok, even 2d, but the menus and the content of windows take hjust 10 seconds to appear. e.g. start a terminal, window is there in no time, but the content (the actual terminal) takes 10 secs or so. using nvidia-current ..
[18:47] <artisan> I have been reading launchpad all day, but nothing helped.
[18:47] <artisan> any experts on that problem here?
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Artisan: does it happen with all users?
[18:48] <abhishek> umm , it dint work
[18:48] <stianhj> Flash on my 64-bit 10.04 install is a horrible experience. And I guess I'm not the only one. Anyone have any solutions to this?
[18:48] <undecim> chegney: Check this out: http://code.google.com/p/google-docs-fs/
[18:48] <abhishek> i rebooted and its still the same
[18:48] <BluesKaj> artisan, which nvidia card?
[18:48] <lvh> Hello!
[18:48] <abhishek> im pretty sure i did it in the root mode and all
[18:48] <NightlyUser> abhishek: can you paste the new xorg.conf?
[18:48] <artisan> BluesKaj: GForce 8600 GT
[18:48] <artisan> ActionParsnip: I just try, good point!
[18:48] <stianhj> artisan: doesn't sound like an nvidia problem to me..
[18:48] <lvh> I'm trying to change my default WM in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to stumpwm. I have successfully compiled stumpwm and put it on my PATH (I know this because if I open up a terminal and type stumpwm, it runs).
[18:49] <stianhj> artisan: have you checked top/htop/System Monitor?
[18:49] <lvh> I put the PATH-mangling bits in .profile, where AFAIK Gnome ought to see them. However, Gnome starts no WM at all.
[18:49] <Dmstrdj> sounds like slow disc read
[18:49] <abhishek> yup just a sec
[18:49] <stianhj> lvh: put the path in /etc/environment maybe?
[18:49] <lvh> gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager # returns stumpwm as expected.
[18:49] <Reemo> Hey guys, is there a mirror keyserver for keyserver.ubuntu.com? Seems like its down atm
[18:49] <lvh> stianhj: Wait, why would I need to change a system PATH for one user?
[18:50] <undecim> lvh: Do like stianhj said and put it in /etc/environment
[18:50] <lvh> stianhj: It's installed in ~/, not /.
[18:50] <stianhj> lvh: because you need ubuntu to find stumpwm before you log in as a user to have it as an option?
[18:50] <undecim> lvh: Maybe put it in /usr/local?
[18:50] <stianhj> lvh: are you using gdm?
[18:50] <lvh> stianhj: Isn't that gnome-session's job?
[18:50] <BluesKaj> artisan, nvidia-current is the right driver for your 8600gt , gotta be some other app hogging your cpu and graphics memory
[18:50] <lvh> Yes.
[18:51] <artisan> stianhj: stianhj, htop and iotop don't give anything useful, system is calm, memory low usage. I suspect nvidia because of no other trace .. but otoh compiz --replace changes nothing as well as metacity --replace :/
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Reemo: pgp.mit.edu is one
[18:51] <undecim> lvh: You can also use an absolute path with the gconf setting
[18:51] <artisan> BluesKaj: nope, all calm, cpu and memory nearly unused .. thats the strange thing
[18:51] <lvh> Since gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager returns stumpwm, I would expect the thing that's responsible for running stumpwm to be running as my user already.
[18:51] <Dmstrdj> artisan; is your hard drive got any bad spots on disc check
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> artisan: could try the driver on the xswat ppa
http://pastebin.com/VBY7iVzz
[18:51] <StevenR> How do I make the terminal beep/make a noise (like echo -ne "\a"). I'm trying to use things like audible ping, but I don't get any sound from the terminal :S
[18:52] <lvh> Since the WM is running as my user, and not the user gdm is running as.
[18:52] <stianhj> lvh: but that's just a string
[18:52] <BluesKaj> artisan, are you running a network server or vnc ?
[18:52] <stianhj> lvh: the gconftool thing
[18:52] <artisan> Dmstrdj: hm, I doubt that. System monitor would show alot of IO if the HD would be faulty.
[18:52] <abhishek> NightlyUser: did u get it
[18:52] <abhishek> NightlyUser: i tried both @ and _
[18:52] <lvh> stianhj: Isn't that what you're supposed to do? http://mikael.jansson.be/log/trying-out-stumpwm
[18:53] <artisan> Actionparship .. gone
[18:53] <NightlyUser> abhishek: i see it
[18:53] <xomp> guys, how to bzip a directory?
[18:53] <artisan> xswat ppa, I try that, tried xorg-edgers, but no change
[18:53] <TurekPolski> Hi everybody! Any ideas on what is the best beat-making software out there for Linux?
[18:53] <lvh> xomp: tar it first
[18:53] <stianhj> lvh: if you're just trying stumpwm out, u can apt-get install stumpwm, and select it from the login screen
[18:53] <lvh> xomp: tar turns directories into files, bz2 compresses them.
[18:54] <mkjackson> hey folks, I'm looking to compress an AVI file (a video I made) from 1.5 GB to any file under 500MB, any suggestions?
[18:54] <artisan> BluesKaj: no vnc server. network is not hogged at all :/
[18:54] <NightlyUser> !xorg
[18:54] <dajhorn> StevenR: In your terminal profile, check that "Terminal bell" is enabled, and that the main audio control is not muted.  If you're in an X11 environment, the beep usually goes to the audio system and not the system speaker.
[18:54] <xomp> lvh, ok, how do I do that? lol
[18:54] <stianhj> lvh: the problem you're having, as far as i can see, is that you expect gnome to find a PATH variable for a spesific user before you log in as that user
[18:54] <abhishek> NightlyUser: so is it like solvable?
[18:54] <mkjackson> just want to put it on vimeo
[18:54] <lvh> stianhj: Lucid' stump is pretty broken, there's a reason I'm running it from git master.
[18:54] <_stas_> Hello! Has anyone experienced any problems installing Ubuntu 10.04 ? I am starting installation -> BLACK SCREEN -> REBOOT
[18:54] <lvh> stianhj: I don't understand why it can't just run ~/.xsession.
[18:54] <stianhj> mkjackson: apt-get install winff or handbrake
[18:54] <NightlyUser> abhishek: bare with me...
[18:54] <artisan> BluesKaj: what else do you mean by 'network server' ? (couple of services running on that box though)
[18:54] <valentino_tuga> hi. each time i try to enable an emerald theme the theme manager shuts down and nothing happens. is anyone aware of this situation?
[18:54] <abhishek> NightlyUser:sorry im just a bit anxious...  :)
[18:54] <StevenR> dajhorn: yeah, I've checked those, doesn't work. I'm using ubuntu 10.04, gnome, and gnome-terminal or xfce4-terminal.
[18:55] <StevenR> dajhorn: I don't actually mind if I get a pcspkr beep or a cutesy wav file beep, just a noise of some sort :)
[18:55] <NightlyUser> abhishek: take a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting resolution changes in xorg.conf
[18:55] <stianhj> lvh: because gdm doesn't use .xsession?
[18:55] <lvh> stianhj: Yes, I'm wondering why it can't.
[18:55] <StevenR> dajhorn: sound works from rhythmbox, totem and rhythmbox
[18:56] <lvh> stianhj: It can use system-wide xsessions, apparently.
[18:56] <abhishek> NightlyUser: ----> im taking a look.. what exactly am i suppposed to look @?
[18:56] <xomp> lvh, I take the hint lol thanks
[18:56] <xomp> I'll see what google says
[18:56] <michelle_> what is medibuntu?
[18:57] <dajhorn> StevenR: Check  System -> Preferences -> Sound and try the default sounds.  A theme can override the beep.
[18:57] <abhishek> NightlyUser: it looks like  the stuff u just said, as in the same codes
[18:57] <lvh> Maybe I should rephrase the question. How can I use window managers that aren't installed system-wide with gdm?
[18:57] <BluesKaj> artisan, well I experienced a similar problem with vnc on my network using my box as a server for other home-networked pcs
[18:57] <artisan> anyone has a pointer where the xswat ppa is?
[18:57] <abhishek> like "modes " and the " resolutions"
[18:57] <stianhj> lvh; just create gdm sessions instead
[18:57] <NightlyUser> abhishek: see the section called screen? there is a subsection called display.. your xorg.conf should look like that with your resolution
[18:57] <_stas_> Hello! Has anyone experienced any problems installing Ubuntu 10.04 ? I am starting installation -> BLACK SCREEN -> REBOOT
[18:58] <stianhj> lvh: they are in /usr/share/xsession
[18:58] <stianhj> lvh; i think
[18:58] <artisan> BluesKaj: okay, but did you have high load on the network? like in system monitor seeing the whole bandwidth congested? (because here i have around zero network usage/load)
[18:58] <artisan> !xswat
[18:58] <lvh> stianhj: So, there's no way to get gdm to run something different than what the system thinks I should be running, as my user, without elevating privileges?
[18:58] <StevenR> dajhorn: yup, the default "ubuntu" theme is selected. Alert volume is turned up, and if I click a sound in the list, it plays. Just doesn't play in the terminal
[18:58] <ccmonster> how do I scp a file on a remote box to my local /home folder?
[18:59] <ccmonster> I am logged into the remote box.
[18:59] <BluesKaj> artisan, yes vnc hogged cpu and bandwidth both
[18:59] <Mousey> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, go!
[18:59] <NightlyUser> abhishek: make sure modes has "1680x1050"
[18:59] <leejongwook> I can't find trash can in my Desktop ( Ubuntu-10.04 )
[18:59] <artisan> BluesKaj: hm thanks for suggestion, but I seem to have a different issue here
[18:59] <abhishek> umm .. it is thats u just saw it in pastebin
[18:59] <NightlyUser> abhishek: it's important that it's indented properly too
[19:00] <abhishek> umm indednted?
[19:00] <MGC_> was able to open a file in terminal one day and now I can't?????
[19:00] <abhishek> i mean indented?
[19:00] <artisan> anyone knows what ActionParship meant with the xswat ppa? I only find xorg-edgers .. o.O
[19:00] <leejongwook> [Q] Ubuntu-10.04 has no trash can ?
[19:00] <stianhj> lvh: I'm not sure.. but getting a stumpwm you've compiled yourself to work with gdm is no problem at all..
[19:00] <NightlyUser> abhishek: see the word modes lines up with the word depth underneath it
[19:01] <artisan> leejongwook: why it shouldn't?
[19:01] <stianhj> lvh: with elevated privileges
[19:01] <artisan> leejongwook: at least here it has
[19:01] <lvh> stianhj: Right. I just don't understand why it needs elevated privileges.
[19:01] <sebsebseb> Hi
[19:01] <abhishek> oh!!
[19:01] <abhishek> ok
[19:01] <leejongwook> artisan, I see, Thanks ;) I didn't wipe out all the things I had before I install new Ubuntu :P
[19:01] <lvh> stianhj: xdm, for example, just sources .xsession. startx uses .xinitrc. No elevated privileges.
[19:01] <ohir> lvh: man su, man sudoers
[19:01] <artisan> udo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[19:02] <artisan> ^^ that for the record: x-swat ppa
[19:02] <michelle_> can someone tell me what this means   http://paste.ubuntu.com/439475/
[19:02] <lvh> ohir: Yes, that's elevating privilege.
[19:02] <valentino_tuga> I just enabled the emerald window decorator with 'emerald --replace' but i would like to go back to metacity. how do I do it?
[19:02] <lvh> ohir: My point is that there's no technical reason why. Since existing software *does* it.
[19:02] <tecurik_> Anyone know how to get the kernel module ATL1C? Could compile it from source, but the machine it's for doesn't have linux, so I need to compile it on another machine with a different kernel version? Trying to install ubuntu server, but the module to the ethernet driver isn't there, hence no internet connection.
[19:02] <lvh> (In fact, I think gdm's default configuration under Debian does it, too.)
[19:03] <MGC_> Can anyone answer my question?
[19:03] <bastidrazor> valentino_tuga: metacity --replace
[19:03] <stianhj> lvh: I don't know, but why is this a problem? and why not use xdm them? or slim?
[19:03] <kull>  I installed a minimalist Karmic using the alternative cd, and did an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, then apt-get dist-upgrade.  Now rkhunter is giving a LOT of warnings, and it wasnt before the upgrade.  Also, when I tried to run irssi it made it so my keyboard would lag.  I needed to hold down the key for at least 1 second or tap the key twice for a character to appear.  After two reboots, the irssi problem appears to have fixed itself.
[19:03] <artisan> btw, another one for the record: I remember now, that the solution to a similar issue was to install an xserver package with 'no-backfill' ...
[19:03] <ohir> lvh: if you want to know why - read docs/forums/code of given package. If you do think it should work w/o elevated priviledges - discuss it with package authors
[19:03] <valentino_tuga> thanks bastidrazor
[19:03] <pure_hate> MGC_, Whats your question
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[19:04] <ohir> lvh: if they did it because its easier - then do not use ;)
[19:04] <bastidrazor> ccmonster: scp /path/to/file user@host:~/    ..you'll need openssh-server running on your home box
[19:04] <lvh> ohir: I'm not sure gdm devs care (nor should they) when Ubuntu's gdm doesn't and Debian's does.
[19:04] <lvh> ohir: How is this easier for anyone?
[19:04] <MGC_> I was able to open a file yesterday in terminal, but it wont open today.
[19:04] <kull> MGC_: use sudo?
[19:04] <lvh> ohir: It's pretty simple. If .xsession exists, it's an option. If it doesn't, obviously it's not.
[19:04] <MGC_> yes
 i edited now im gonna reboot
[19:04] <pure_hate> Did you chec the permisions? If you opened it as root yesterday maybe you user doent have perms now
[19:04] <kull> MGC_: are you usre the file exists?
[19:05] <abhishek> may god help me
[19:05] <constirhhea> hi follks, how do i get the latest software updates on 10.04 now?
[19:05] <ohir> lvh: display manager do run their core as root, they need to login users
[19:05] <constirhhea> what command do i run?
[19:05] <kull> constirhhea: apt-get update
[19:05] <MGC_> yes, file should be there.
[19:05] <ohir> lvh: managers*
[19:05] <cheater99> hi guys
[19:05] <NightlyUser> ok
[19:05] <lvh> ohir: Yes, I understand that.
 if u are free and this dosnt work , after i rebbot , can u help me
[19:05] <kull> MGC_: what file type is it?
[19:05] <stianhj> lvh: yeah, it's the design of gdm. you can't edit xdm conf itself without elevated priv.
[19:05] <cheater99> i have 9.10, how can i downlod the packages for the upgrade to 10.4 without installing them? is it possible via synaptic?
[19:05] <constirhhea> kull: and downloading of the updates?...
[19:06] <lvh> ohir: So? Eventually they run something as a user. In fact, they run an entirely similar file as a user.
[19:06] <MGC_> im a new user though. my son installed it and opened the file before he left.
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Abhishek: sure til half past when I have work
[19:06] <kull> constirhhea: sudo apt-get update will download the updates.
[19:06] <lvh> ohir: The difference is if the file lives in /usr/share/xsessions or ~/.xsession.
[19:06] <sebsebseb> cheater99: uhmm no, but
[19:06] <sebsebseb> cheater99: well maybe, but
[19:06] <sebsebseb> !offline | cheater99
[19:06] <ohir> lvh: similar != same
[19:06] <kull> MGC_: what kind of file is it?  I cant help unless I know that.
[19:06] <MGC_> celtx
[19:06] <constirhhea> kul, um... i mean...  more than that
[19:06] <ohir> lvh: there are things that root might but user should not do
[19:06] <constirhhea> not sure how to explain it
[19:06] <michelle_> how do i find out what  brand wifi hardware i have
[19:07] <sebsebseb> !wireless | michelle_
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Cheater99: use the alternate iso and you will be ok (remember to md5 test)
[19:07] <bastidrazor> michelle_: lspci    in a terminal
[19:07] <yesorno> =]
[19:07] <constirhhea> ... kull, but you know how sometimes you get the screen saying that there are X number of updates, with a button you can click to install them all.
[19:07] <sebsebseb> !md5sum | cheater99
[19:07] <bastidrazor> michelle_: or if you're using a usb dongle .. lsusb
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Michelle_: sudo lshw -C network
[19:07] <ohir> lvh: the difference is that first file is global settings for all users and second is for particular user
[19:07] <cheater99> i want the packages for this machine
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Michelle_: the brand is moot, you need to know the chip
[19:07] <lvh> ohir: Yes, I understand that.
[19:07] <cheater99> i just don't want to oversee the upgrade right now
[19:08] <abhishek> ActionParsnip: help plzz same prob still hasnt gone
[19:08] <lvh> ohir: gdm runs gnome-session as my user, because /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop wants it to.
[19:08] <StevenR> dajhorn: any ideas on how to make my terminal beep?
[19:08] <NightlyUser> abhishek: paste you new xorg.conf
[19:08] <sebsebseb> cheater99: uhmm 9.10 is fine untill the end of October.   also 10.10 will come out early on Sunday  the 10th of October instead of Thursday the 28th
[19:08] <lvh> ohir: I want it to run a different thing as a user. Why is that so bad?
[19:08] <sebsebseb> cheater99: uh fine untill next year I mean
[19:08] <abhishek> k
[19:08] <cheater99> why is it fine until end of october?
[19:08] <sebsebseb> cheater99: April next year
[19:08] <stianhj> lvh: Then it's the design of GDM. And this is way off topic for this channel now..
[19:08] <cheater99> what does that mean? :)
[19:08] <sebsebseb> cheater99: still supported until  the end of April next year with security updates
[19:08] <lvh> ohir: It's not a security hole. It just runs a different program, but *both* are ran as my user. There is no elevation of privilege.
[19:08] <dgx> Hey guys, I want to ask how can I learn the basics of linux, ubuntu in general. I am beginner, but have you used Ubuntu a few times. I don't know much though, but I want to learn more about it. I know some sort of A-Z tutorials, can you reccomend some resources?
[19:08] <lvh> stianhj: Fine.
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Abhishek: find some sample xorg.conf files and try parts of their contents in yours. My web access on this phone is painful if I want the battery to last so I can't help in searches
[19:09] <abhishek> http://pastebin.com/EbTRdnDD
[19:09] <sebsebseb> cheater99: Newer is not always better!  If your using a supported version, its ok to still use that untill it goes end of life.

[19:10] <abhishek> ActionParsnip: ok i understand
[19:10] <cheater99> sebsebseb, ok, makes sense, thank you
[19:10] <ohir> lvh: read about xorg initialization flow then think where you want to put your stuff to start with your session

[19:10] <bastidrazor> dgx: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html  is a decent bit of information
[19:10] <kull> constirhhea: Just open Celtix by typing it's name into the terminal, then open the file from within the program.
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Eja: remove the gdm thing from the bootup. You will then get console based logon
[19:10] <NightlyUser> abhishek: is that a space or a tab between the word modes and the res?
[19:10] <kull>  I installed a minimalist Karmic using the alternative cd, and did an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, then apt-get dist-upgrade.  Now rkhunter is giving a LOT of warnings, and it wasnt before the upgrade.  Also, when I tried to run irssi it made it so my keyboard would lag.  I needed to hold down the key for at least 1 second or tap the key twice for a character to appear.  After two reboots, the irssi problem appears to have fixed itself.
[19:10] <jerrommino> hello

[19:10] <kk_hacker> hello all, hope that my 3rd visit to this channel will help me.  i have a lenovo s10 idea pad and it runs ubuntu 10.04.  broadcom wifi card can access my wifi network at office but i am not able to access ad hoc home network on that same laptop.
[19:11] <eja> thanks stianhj
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Tecurik: could use ndiswrapper
[19:11] <sebsebseb> cheater99: np
[19:11] <abhishek> NightlyUser: jus a sec , even i dont knw
[19:11] <NightlyUser> abhishek: it looks like a space, but it should be a tab
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Tecurik: or boot to a live cd on the same pc and build it there and then copy to the internal pertitions

[19:12] <abhishek> its a space

[19:13] <NightlyUser> abhishek: it should be a tab, looks like you gotta change it and restart again
[19:13] <abhishek> NightlyUser: ok i removed the space and put a tab instead
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> !away > ohir
[19:13] <abhishek> see ya fter the restatr
[19:14] <kull> kk_hacker: not an answer to you problem, but a small suggestion: if you cant figure this out then perhaps an IRC name change is something to consider ;)  I hope somone knows how to help you with your wifi problem.  I'd try ##linux if #ubuntu cant help.  #hardware might be a good place to ask, too.
[19:14] <eja> which runlevel is console only?  i changed it from 2 to 3 but still get gdm loading

[19:15] <Loshki> !upstart
[19:15] <anodesni> but when I change it to video1,2,3,4 etc tvtime doesnt recognize the stick
[19:15] <kk_hacker> kull: this has been frustrating me for last 3 days
[19:15] <kull> eja: can you just sudo apt-get remove gdm   then  apt-get autoremove?
[19:15] <unop> vika23,   rename -n 's/png$/jpg/' *.png
[19:15] <abhishek> u knw what i quit im having a bad fever , and i think im gonna faint, i rally wanted this to work. but may be better luck next time
[19:15] <vika23> unop: thanks i will try it
[19:15] <NightlyUser> abhishek: you've been very patient
[19:15] <Snarkster> anyone got any suggestion on how to convert 1800 html docs to pdf?
[19:16] <unop> vika23, the -n causes it to do a dry-run i.e. it doesn't actually do the rename just shows you what it will do, if you're happy with that, take the -n off to do the actual rename
[19:16] <ersoy> !install tor
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Unop: or use convert / mogrify
[19:16] <abhishek> well, i aint the type to quit, or give up, but now i am definitely gonna faint
[19:16] <unop> ActionParsnip, that's a bit unnecessary
[19:16] <dann> Is anyone familiar with Kuki linux?
[19:16] <kk_hacker> kull: the funny part is that my wifi network is visible to the top panel network icon but it keeps asking me for authentication and I checked all forums and every where possible.
[19:17] <ikonia> dann: this channel is for ubuntu linux only
[19:17] <vika23> unop: thanks it works :) bye
[19:17] <dann> i think its ubuntu based? or i dunno.  sorry ill check elsewhere
[19:17] <discozohan> can anyone say, should i install sun-java6-jdk or open-jdk ?
[19:17] <NightlyUser> abhishek: sorry i couldn't help more
[19:17] <kull> kk_hacker: did you enter your encryption key to access the network?  You probably have a 128bit WEP passkey or something.
[19:17] <orangeglo> what does linux mint run off of?
[19:18] <ikonia> dann: ubuntu based isn't ubuntu, so it's not supported here
[19:18] <tecurik_> Anyone know how to get the kernel module ATL1C? Could compile it from source, but the machine it's for doesn't have linux, so I need to compile it on another machine with a different kernel version? Trying to install ubuntu server, but the module to the ethernet driver isn't there, hence no internet connection.
[19:18] <kk_hacker> kul yes i did and it is correct
[19:18] <kull> orangeglo: Ubuntu, but they are not supported here
[19:18] <ikonia> orangeglo: linux minut is it's only distro
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Orangegio: its ubuntu based but is not ubuntu so is not supported here
[19:18] <orangeglo> what are some other big distros?
[19:18] <orangeglo> i'd like to give some other ones a shot
[19:18] <ikonia> orangeglo: that's offtopic here - look on distrowatch.com
[19:18] <michelle_> can someone tell me what the problem is here
[19:18] <abhishek> NightlyUser: see ya later , hope there is a solution by that time.... and just so u knw this kinda problem popped up in my windows 7 and i got it to work only by installing the specific samsung monitor driver, so hope our approach want totally off the track, if there is such a thing in linux then please consier it also instead od the xconfig file
[19:18] <kull> orangeglo: Fedora, Mandriva, Red Hat, Gentoo, Arch, Mint, CrunchBang
[19:18] <orangeglo> sorry
[19:19] <kk_hacker> kull: it is wep 128 bit and the key is 123456789
[19:19] <michelle_> can someone tell me what the problem is here>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/439483/
[19:19] <eja> removing gdm just makes it prompt me for what i'd like to do (low graphics mode, console login)
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Orangeglo: puppy, debian, suse, mandriva, dsl, xpud, gentoo
[19:19] <kull> kk_hacker: never tell anyone the key -_-
[19:19] <NightlyUser> abhishek: samsung monitor?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Orangeglo: there are tonnes. Hit up the distrowatch site
[19:19] <kk_hacker> kull: well it is the key i entered and now the wifi network is off
[19:19] <abhishek> yes i use a samsung monitor
[19:20] <Jasraj> hello everyone, I am new to ubuntu
[19:20] <BlessJah> what is obex-data-server and why anything i try to install this is in depends???
[19:20] <kull> kk_hacker: also, 12345678 doesnt seem like 128bit encryption hash.  It shoudl be looong and have a varity of numbers and letters.
[19:20] <kk_hacker> kull: any ways the key was all right but my lenovo s10 is refused the connection.
[19:20] <Jasraj> facing problems with my display drivers
[19:20] <kyle_> Hi, I've got a quick question about the directory structure for a local net-install.

[19:20] <kk_hacker> kull:  ic.  so what should be the key like for example
[19:20] <gottto> michelle_: seems the wireless is disabled in the bios perhaps
[19:20] <eja> what's the upstart method of booting from console since the old style doesn't work in ubuntu 10?
[19:20] <kyle_> I've copied the CD into the root of my http server, but apparently I need more than that.
[19:21] <Jasraj> have installed a 64bit version
[19:21] <kull> kk_hacker: something that looks like bas8dubas769d7b9a8s7db98as7dbvasdisahdlksad89asd

[19:21] <kyle_> Anyone able to tell me what's missing?
[19:21] <abhishek> tired
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Blessjah: its part of bluetooth stuff for mobile devices to push and pull data
[19:21] <Sageb> hi
[19:21] <Jasraj> cannot set the resolution to 1024X768
[19:21] <abhishek> well i ll see ya guys later
[19:21] <michelle_> gottto how can i change that
[19:21] <kk_hacker> kull: is there any limitation for the number of numbers and characters?
[19:21] <Jasraj> anyone to help me
[19:21] <BlessJah> ActionParsnip: i dont need bluetooth, i need firefox or gdebi or [a lot of stuff having obex in depends]
[19:21] <NightlyUser> abhishek: i'm certain it can work with the right settings in xorg
[19:21] <soreau> Jasraj: Which graphics driver are you using?
[19:22] <kleanchap> How do I convert pdf files to text in ubuntu?
[19:22] <gottto> michelle_: at boot time you access the bios and change it's status
[19:22] <kyle_> OK, better question, is there a channel for ubuntu-net installs?
[19:22] <abhishek> well there is another guy hope the technique works for him (points to jasraj)  ----->jasraj
[19:22] <Jasraj> thanks soreau - right now - have not installed any driver
[19:22] <NightlyUser> abhishek: try looking through the ubuntu forums for others with your specific monitor
[19:22] <dajhorn> eja: If the recovery menu option doesn't work, then try appending init=/bin/bash to the grub line.
[19:22] <kull> kk_hacker: it is generated by your router when you enable the WEP encryption on your router.  At least, on my network taht's how it works.  If you dont have that long-ass'd passkey, you are not getting onto my network without hacing it.
[19:22] <Jasraj> its the system default one with 800X600
[19:22] <kull> hacking*
[19:22] <soreau> Jasraj: What card is it as reported by lspci|grep VGA ?/
[19:23] <pratik_narain> can anyone help me configure a wifi network in lucid
[19:23] <Sageb> is it possible to build a server that hosts files on this machine with out a router like from eth1 on this machine to eth0 on the machine that hosts the files that way eth0 on this machine isn't buged down with a bad router
[19:23] <kk_hacker> kull: by the way my card is bcm430
[19:23] <resno> Sageb: sure
[19:23] <Sageb> how
[19:23] <Jasraj> I need to check that.. i am using linux/ubuntu for the first time so plz pardon me
[19:23] <Sageb> I really confused
[19:23] <abhishek> NightlyUser: i never had this prob berfore when i installed 9.10(like 4 times) updated the display diver and nothig else
[19:23] <kk_hacker> kul: it perfectly connects to my office wifi network
[19:23] <resno> Sageb: youll need two nics. and you need to set up samba
[19:24] <eja> dajhorn: the recovery menu option works i'd just prefer it to go straight to a console login as it did before xubuntu-desktop was installed.
[19:24] <kk_hacker> my office network has a wpa2 incription and kul: the key is just 4 digits
[19:24] <resno> Sageb: and if you are using more then one computer youll need a switch.
[19:24] <kull> kk_hacker: it sounds like your not using encryption at work, which is why you can access it without inputing an excryption key.  Log into your router via your browser and access the WEP key.
[19:24] <Sageb> is there a tutorial for this
[19:24] <NightlyUser> abhishek: same graphics card aswell?
[19:24] <ZenMasta> if I boot from a live cd (10.0.4) what is the password for the ubuntu user?
[19:24] <abhishek> yup
[19:24] <pratik_narain> I'm trying to connect to a wifi network which is being detected by ubuntu and is showing full signal strength in nm-applet menu. but i'm not able to connect. plz i need urgent help
[19:24] <Sageb> resno,  no switch
[19:24] <kk_hacker> kull:  we have wpa2 incription in office
[19:24] <abhishek> nothings changed
[19:24] <kull> kk_hacker: password and passkey are not teh same
[19:24] <Sageb> resno,  from computer a to computer b only
[19:25] <resno> Sageb: search setting up samba
[19:25] <abhishek> ah!! i installed this from usb stick(ubuntu 9.10)
[19:25] <NightlyUser> abhishek: that is odd, mind you the nvidia drivers are closed source
[19:25] <kk_hacker> kull: here is what I did to setup my ad hoc connection
[19:25] <Sageb> ok
[19:25] <stianhj> Flash on my 64-bit 10.04 install is a horrible experience. And I guess I'm not the only one. Anyone have any solutions to this?

[19:25] <danutz> hello all ,I have a question..I have a vps and a domain...I created the name server at the domain registers ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com that goes to the vps ip and then set the domain to these nameservers the problem is that is not resolving..what do I have to do next?
[19:25] <dajhorn> eja: On a regular Ubuntu computer, look at the /etc/init/gdm.conf file and disable that upstart service.  On Ubuntu variants, the display manager could be something like /etc/init/xdm.conf, /etc/init/kdm.conf, or somesuch.
[19:25] <kk_hacker> i entered it and then try connecting my idea pad
[19:25] <obstd> kleanchap: pdftotext
[19:26] <Njh> does anyone know how to use reprepro?
[19:26] <resno> danutz: youd have better luck asking in #ubuntu-server
[19:26] <kk_hacker> kull: i gave what was asked that's it.
[19:26] <kleanchap> obstd, Thnx
[19:26] <danutz> ok

[19:26] <abuayyoub> Hi, I was hoping someone could help me. I am having a problem with Resume and Suspend on my laptop. Whenever I use ether of them they never wake up. or if they do occasionally do wake up it takes more than 10 or 15 minutes. where a cold boot takes about 45 seconds.
[19:26] <kleanchap> Is there CLI tool to convert word document to text?
[19:26] <abhishek> NightlyUser: cause my dvd drive died
[19:26] <kk_hacker> pratik_narain: hey join the gang same problem here
[19:27] <pratik_narain> kk_hacker: yeah fine
[19:27] <kyle_> Can anyone here help with creating a local-only mirror for installing?  Preferably using the files from the CD (slow connection).
[19:27] <NightlyUser> abishek: i can't forsee that affecting your screen resolution or graphics drivers though
[19:27] <sebsebseb> kk_hacker: word documents eww.  however  you could just copy in the text and save as text,  or maybe save as text in Open Office or Abiword or KOffice?  or convert to PDF :)
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Stianhj: try the 64bit native flash. There is a method on adding a ppa and installing a package. Remove the flash packages you have installed now
[19:27] <eja> dajhorn: i already modified "start on runlevel [xxx]" to include runlevel 2 in /etc/init/gdm.conf but then i boot to a black screen.  still no console login
[19:27] <mguy> kyle_: for like a network install? Why not just use the CD/USB
[19:27] <dajhorn> danutz: In the TLR, ns1 and ns2 must have different addresses.  Many registers won't properly publish your domain if you try to do that.
[19:27] <stianhj> ActionParsnip: I currently have the native 64-bit plugin
[19:27] <eja> dajhorn: "stop on runlevel" rather
[19:27] <kk_hacker> pratik_narain: kul is trying to help me though and I think my problem might be solved
[19:28] <stianhj> ActionParsnip: I've tried the 32-bit flashplugin-installer as well
[19:28] <kull> kk_hacker: the passphrase is the WEP key, which isnt only 12345678 becaus ethat doesnt make sense to me, considering a 128bit key needs more characters than that.  Log into yoru router.  in a browser go to 192.168.1.1 and go to the wireless section.  In teh security part there should be at least one WEP key there.  Thats what you need.  What kind of router do you have?  The password to loginto your router should be admin or Admin if it's li
[19:28] <kyle_> mguy, Because I've got several labs full of machines, some of which have been abused long enough that burned CDs barely read.
[19:28] <danutz> the domain can function with just one nameserver?
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Stianhj: cool. Hopefully 10.1 will be 64bit soon and will run better on decent video cards
[19:28] <obstd> kleanchap: antiword
[19:28] <sebsebseb> kleanchap: see above,  messed up auto complete
[19:28] <dajhorn> eja: If you don't entirely disable the display manager, then your console could be on VT7.   Try pushing CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+ALT+F2.
[19:28] <kyle_> danutz: if you only have one box, you can cheat, by giving it two ip addresses.  It's a dirty trick, but pretty common.
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Stianhj: try a different browser maybe
[19:28] <kk_hacker> kull: I am not using a rooter.  I am using my laptop to share an ad hoc connection
[19:28] <mguy> kyle_: Do those workstations support pxe boot
[19:28] <kyle_> danutz: I've had to do that more than once to register DNS servers.
[19:29] <eja> dajhorn: how do i entirely disable it?
[19:29] <abhishek> NightlyUser: ubuntu was a dream to work on, fast light, eye candy... this is the first time im actually having trouble with this (my first experince with linux(open suse) was horible, then came ubuntu a dream)
[19:29] <kyle_> mguy: they all do.  But I've got one line out, and it's slow.
[19:29] <kk_hacker> kull: and it just tells me to put a pass phrase for 128 bit key
[19:29] <dajhorn> eja: Also check that that you have getty processing running on tty1, tty2, or however many you want.
[19:29] <kyle_> mguy: A net install off the the US ubuntu mirror takes over an hour.
[19:29] <kk_hacker> kull: did you get the problem now?
[19:29] <sebsebseb> kleanchap: ok i'll do the message again: word documents eww.  however  you could just copy in the text and save as text,  or maybe save as text in Open Office or Abiword or KOffice?  or convert to PDF :)
[19:29] <kk_hacker> kull: in my office we have a proper access poing
[19:29] <kull> kk_hacker: well, you're on yoru own then.  I have no idea how to fix that without a router.  You need to get router access to access that 128bit pass.
[19:30] <dajhorn> eja: Easy way -- Just move the file out of /etc/init.
[19:30] <stianhj> kk_hacker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[19:30] <kk_hacker> kull: thanks but your hint might help me though
[19:30] <jr-minnaar> Hi! How do i edit a read only file from terminal? The file is /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

[19:31] <artisan> ok, problem persists even with x-swat nvidia packages. even using nv .. decription again: extreme lags in menu and click reactions all over the place in X. cpu is calm, memory enough spare, nvidia x-swat (256.xx.x) running, problem exists with or without compiz, no vnc or other network hogging service running. hd-io is calm as well. any hints?
[19:31] <dajhorn> eja: Notice that many other services in /etc/init have dependencies on gdm (and things that do the same thing as gdm).
[19:31] <sebsebseb> kleanchap: np
[19:31] <kyle_> I should say, _well_ over an hour.  That was almost 30 minutes to get to the part where you select which type of ubuntu to install.
[19:31] <michelle_> excuse me i need to know the product id of my wifi hardware but dont know how
[19:31] <mguy> kyle_: If you have a server to put the files on, setup dhcp and a tffp server
[19:31] <JoeSomebody> hi, i have a new install of lucid, and 2gb ram, 1gb swap. if i temporarily reduce my ram in this one (new ram next week - upgrading my boxes), can i run on 512 mb if i just run xchat and ubuntu ?
[19:31] <stianhj> michelle_: open a terminal, sudo lshw -C network
[19:31] <pratik_narain> kull: may i ask you as i'm having prolem connecting to my wifi router and i'm having wpa &wpa2 personal security not wep
[19:32] <dajhorn> JoeSomebody: Yes.
[19:32] <kyle_> mguy: Did that.  And I can net-boot them all into the ubuntu server.  It's the local-mirror part I'm having trouble with.
[19:32] <sebsebseb> JoeSomebody: Ubuntu can be run on 512MB RAM yeah
[19:32] <kyle_> s/ubuntu server/ubuntu installer/g
[19:32] <mguy> kyle_: oh the apt mirror?
[19:32] <JoeSomebody> cool, i hate to rob the ram from my system but i gotta temporarily
[19:32] <eja> dajhorn: is there a utility that is supposed to faciliate modifying /etc/init like update-rc.d does for sysV?
[19:32] <lungan> I did ran purge pulseuaido to get my spotify working, but now my sound on youtube etc doesn't work, how do I fix that?
[19:32] <kyle_> mguy: yup. But because of the slow line I wanted to just copy the files off of CD.  That and the fact tha the server is scientific-linux (RHEL clone with reasonable defaults).
[19:33] <stianhj> michelle_: do you know how to open/use the terminal?
[19:33] <xangua> lungan: or you could not have uninstalled anything and tell wine to use pulseaudio
[19:33] <mguy> kyle_: When you say you're booting in to the server what does that mean
[19:33] <abuayyoub>  I was hoping someone could help me. I am having a problem with Resume and Suspend on my laptop. Whenever I use ether of them they never wake up. or if they do occasionally do wake up it takes more than 10 or 15 minutes. where a cold boot takes about 45 seconds.
[19:33] <michelle_> stianhj yes novice
[19:33] <lungan> xangua, I did only have "OSS" in the menu, but do you know how to get back the sound on youtube etc?=
[19:34] <kyle_> mguy: the clients PXE boot the ubuntu net-installer off of the server.
[19:34] <stianhj> michelle_: then type the command you were given earlier
[19:34] <kull> pratik_narain: you shoudl read the Ubuntu documentation on teh subject. Im sure the answer is in their wiki.
[19:34] <stianhj> michelle_: sudo lshw -C network
[19:34] <stianhj> michelle_: and then your password
[19:34] <dajhorn> eja: Dunno.  My guess is no.
[19:34] <sabator2> Does anyone uses Promise RAID card with Ubuntu ?
[19:34] <kyle_> mguy: saying ubuntu-server was a typo on my part.
[19:34] <churl> Hello!  with all sources commented out (sources.list) apt-get  update still returns failure to download some deluge binary
[19:34] <owenll> abuayyoub: what version of Ubuntu?
[19:34] <pratik_narain> kull: thnx i'll try nd then return here
[19:34] <mguy> kyle_: I get what you're saying, it runs the installer from the network but wants to get the packages from the internet when you install
[19:34] <abuayyoub> ownell, lucid
[19:34] <kyle_> mguy: Right.  And that's slow for me :)
[19:35] <xangua> lungan: try with flashplugin-nonfree.extrasound for OSS support
[19:35] <michelle_> stianhj can u look at this two links and possibly help me make since of this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/439489/ and http://linux-wless.passys.nl/
[19:35] <mguy> kyle_: Have you tried apt-mirror
[19:36] <kyle_> mguy: 1) my server runs scientific linux, 2) doesn't that download everything, not just what's necessary to install?
[19:36] <ionut> why my backspace button is not working in mozila (go to the previsious page using backspace) . i tried do configure it (about:config in mozila and in the browser.backspace_action tab i set it up to 1 ). is still no working
[19:36] <b3n4dd1> how can i make the command line (the path where i am) in the console shorter?
[19:36] <abuayyoub> owenll, I have lucid
[19:36] <stianhj> michelle_: what are you trying to achieve?
[19:36] <mguy> kyle_l: Oh, why are you in #ubuntu then ;)
[19:37] <owenll> abuayyoub: seems to be a common problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475694
[19:37] <michelle_> stianhj working wireless
[19:37] <kyle_> mguy: ;) ubuntu on desktops, SL on servers.  It makes me happy.
[19:37] <gottto> ionut: have you restarted the browser?
[19:37] <stianhj> owenll: problems with swap re hibernation?
[19:37] <ionut> yes , i restarted it
[19:37] <stianhj> abuayyoub: problems with swap re hibernation?
[19:37] <ionut> gottto: yes
[19:37] <gottto> k
[19:37] <mguy> I would think you might still be able to get apt-mirror or apt-cache to run
[19:38] <stianhj> michelle_: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[19:38] <abuayyoub> owenll, seems strange noone can seem to fix this. I been having the same problem since Daper, Drake
[19:38] <michelle_> 10.04
[19:38] <tktiddle> hi does anyone know what package to install to get zope working on ubuntu?  Im used to using zopectl command but it dosn't seem to work on ubuntu even though i have python-zope installed
[19:38] <axy_david> heloooo
[19:39] <axy_david> is anybody here?
[19:39] <tktiddle> hi
[19:39] <kyle_> axy_david: Nope.
[19:39]  * jungli hugs jungli 
[19:39] <Owner> nobody is here.
[19:39]  * jungli hugs jungli 
[19:39] <axy_david> hey is anybody who knows ppc?
[19:39] <kyle_> axy_david: Haven't used a PPC box under linux in ages.  But yes, I've used them.
[19:39] <tktiddle> who?
[19:39] <mneptok> !anyone | axy_david
[19:40] <kyle_> ppc==PowerPC, yes?
[19:40] <axy_david> ok
[19:40] <axy_david> yeah
[19:40] <jungli> y0 agian
[19:40] <axy_david> i cant boot 10.04
[19:40] <axy_david> i can boot 6.04
[19:40] <axy_david> but i cant install it
[19:40] <xangua> !ppc
[19:40] <sebsebseb> michelle_: not been following your issue as such, but if you can't get the wireless working natively, you may have to use Ndiswrapper and get it working with a Windows driver.
[19:40] <soreau> hi michelle_, still at it?
[19:40] <axy_david> mine is snow version
[19:40] <kyle_> ubottu: Don't forget IBM servers and workstations.
[19:40] <jungli> what is iptables ?
[19:41] <kyle_> Ahh.
[19:41] <axy_david> ?!?!?!?!?!?!
[19:41] <Betawurst> Betawurst
[19:41] <kyle_> axy_david: Sounds like you need to choose a different kernel.
[19:41] <Betawurst> list
[19:41] <stianhj> sebsebseb: she has a Atheros card.. shouldn't that pretty much work by itself? madwifi?
[19:41] <soreau> michelle_: I agree with sebsebseb. Have you explored the option of ndiswrapper that can use a wireless driver designed for windows?
[19:41] <mguy> kyle_: Could you just setup a squid cache to capture all the apt files?
[19:41] <iceroot> jungli: most powerfull firewall
[19:41] <axy_david> how the hell i do that?
[19:41] <stianhj> axy_david: no, ubuntu 10.04 doesn't support PPC as xangua said
[19:41] <axy_david> ok
[19:41] <axy_david> W00T?
[19:42] <soreau> stianhj: It uses ath5k driver, and it's loaded by default but there is some problem. The interface wont function (obvious driver issue)
[19:42] <axy_david> but i did dl the ppc version
[19:42] <sebsebseb> stianhj: Ubuntu  I guess not,  other distros I guess so :D
[19:42] <iceroot> stianhj: 10.04 is supporting ppc
[19:42] <kyle_> axy_david: You can run through the install on your PPC box, but not boot it afterwards.  Either it's not configuring the bootloader properly, or it's handing you a kernel you can't use.
[19:42] <michelle_> soreau lol yes
[19:42] <xangua> stianhj: when did i say it does¿
[19:42] <mneptok> axy_david: when you say 10.04, what did you download that you are trying to boot? what is the file name?
[19:42] <michelle_> sebsebseb  how do i do that
[19:42] <axy_david> the ppc version
[19:42] <axy_david> ok
[19:42] <axy_david> but
[19:42] <kyle_> axy_david: Either way, first step, boot with the CD, and tell it to boot the OS on the HD.
[19:42] <stianhj> xangua: sorry, i misread something there
[19:42] <michelle_> soreau no
[19:42] <xangua> iceroot: i believed the ppc suppport was droped, was not¿
[19:42] <axy_david> my 6.04 did booot
[19:42] <sebsebseb> michelle_: What Ndiswrapper?
[19:42] <soreau> ! ndiswrapper | michelle_
[19:42] <mneptok> axy_david: 6.06?
[19:43] <kyle_> axy_david: If that works, it's the bootloader.  If it doesn't, it's proabably the kernel.
[19:43] <axy_david> yeah
[19:43] <axy_david> nooo
[19:43] <axy_david> 6.04
[19:43] <mneptok> axy_david: there was no Ubuntu 6.04.
[19:43] <axy_david> it was v6
[19:43] <wng-> is it valid to combine lines in sources.list, so instead of one for universe and one line for main, i can just add universe to the end of the line that ends in 'lucid main restricted'?
[19:43] <kyle_> mguy: I supose I could use squid.... seems like a bit of a hack for it, doesn't it?
[19:43] <mneptok> axy_david: 6.06 or 6.10?
[19:43] <wweasel> How do I change which sound card is being used from the command line (Ubuntu server 10.04)?
[19:44] <michelle_> sebsebseb yes
[19:44] <iceroot> xangua: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/lucid/release/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc.iso
[19:44] <axy_david> ummm no idea
[19:44] <axy_david> i think is  6.06
[19:44] <mneptok> axy_david: does the 10.04 LiveCD work?
[19:45] <xangua> axy_david: like iceroot said
[19:45] <hjk> hello,I'm on squeeze.my wireless connection keeps be dieing after working only for few seconds...what's wrong?
[19:45] <soreau> michelle_: Since ndiswrapper will try to use the windows driver to drive the card, you will want to make sure ath5k is unloaded
[19:45] <iceroot> hjk: #debian
[19:45] <axy_david> ummm
[19:45] <axy_david> no
[19:45] <mneptok> hjk: we do not support Debian here
[19:45] <axy_david> i have the net
[19:45] <axy_david> i didnt  try the desktop
[19:45] <michelle_> soreau ok can u step me through?
[19:45] <owenll> soreau: being new to IRC can anyone explain what soreau did here and what it means, or refer to a guide?   ! ndiswrapper | michelle_
[19:45] <axy_david> but 10.04 desktop does not work
[19:46] <hjk> oh,the same result on ubuntu 9
[19:46] <iceroot> owenll: !string is calling the bot and telling to | nickname
[19:46] <iceroot> !bot | owenll
[19:46] <wweasel> How do I change which sound card is being used, from the command line (Ubuntu server 10.04)?
[19:46] <jungli> thanks iceroot
[19:46] <owenll> iceroot: thanks
[19:46] <soreau> owenll: That invokes ubottu to show a factoid
[19:46] <mneptok> axy_david: there is no netbook-remix port for PPC
[19:46] <andrzej> kigen
[19:46] <soreau> ! ubottu | owenll
[19:47] <ZenMasta> I was about to restore an image using the dd command and I accidentally hit enter before I could finish the statement. what happened if I only typed sudo dd if=/mybacukp/image
[19:47] <owenll> soreau: thanks
[19:47] <Owner> do you ppl get paid 4 helping out?
[19:47] <mneptok> axy_david: please ask before PMing me.
[19:47] <soreau> michelle_: I haven't used ndiswrapper in so long.. just google up a guide. Basically, you get the windows driver for your card then use ndiswrapper to load it
[19:47] <iceroot> ZenMasta: imo its written to stdout, nothing dangerous
[19:47] <axy_david> ok?
[19:47] <wad> ZenMasta, You're in trouble..
[19:47] <rocket16> Owner: How dare you? We all are volunteers here!
[19:47] <kyle_> Owner: yes, but it's hard to find someplace to exchange karma for $$.
[19:47] <InvaderZim> ZenMasta: nothing, it needs the of= value
[19:47] <etale> hi all -- how can i take a ubuntu iso and make it a bootable img file?  I would like to dd that .img onto a USB and boot from it
[19:47] <mneptok> axy_david: and no, you may not. :) if you want help, please ask in the channel.
[19:47] <drmagoo> I need help to get twinview working on 3 monitors on 2 nvidia cards. Twinview on the 2 monitors on the gts250 card works fine when the 3rd monitor is disabled. But when i enable it, the 2 monitors is handled as on large one. this mean that any windows that gets maximized takes up the space of two monitors. I would like it to use just one. pastebin> http://pastebin.com/vDYx4f44
[19:47] <rocket16> People, Owner insulted us all, friends!
[19:48] <axy_david> no i have an problem
[19:48] <ZenMasta> iceroot okay thanks, I was freakin out for a sec cause the terminal start spewing out all kinds of funky characters. :)
[19:48] <xangua> rocket16: please stop that
[19:48] <bugs_bugger_> my /home is not mountable any more. tried to manually mount it in the recovery shell. checked fstab but UUID's are correct. mtab as well. when i try to mount by UUID ubuntu says partition doesnt exist. same with swap
[19:48] <Jordan_U> etale: Easiest way is to just use unetbootin.
[19:48] <kyle_> rocket16: I preferred my response.
[19:48] <iceroot> ZenMasta: yes, the default is stdout so its just a lot of spam on the shell
[19:48] <mneptok> axy_david: there is no netbook-remix port for PPC
[19:48] <rocket16> xangua: What? I am doing the right thing, he said that we are paid for helping all!
[19:48] <sebsebseb> michelle_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[19:48] <axy_david> um i ment alternative
[19:48] <mneptok> axy_david: you need to download the 10.04 desktop .iso
[19:48] <ZenMasta> @InvaderZim - awesome cartoon imo
[19:48] <axy_david> i did
[19:49] <axy_david> but it didnt worked
[19:49] <InvaderZim> ZenMasta: too bad its gone...
[19:49] <ionut> why my backspace button is not working in mozila (go to the previsious page using backspace) . i tried do configure it (about:config in mozila and in the browser.backspace_action tab i set it up to 1 ). is still no working
[19:49] <xangua> axy_david: do you donwloaded the ppc version¿
[19:49] <mneptok> axy_david: get the -desktop ISO and run a Live session to see if it boots.
[19:49] <ZenMasta> InvaderZim I know, best buy had the series on dvd last blackfriday for 9 bucks
[19:49] <axy_david> yeah
[19:49] <axy_david> i cant boot
[19:49] <axy_david> from the desktop
[19:49] <Owner> insult? u ppl must be very bored then.  :)
[19:49] <axy_david> i dont know why
[19:49] <iceroot> !enter | axy_david
[19:49] <lxsys> Owner: we enjoy helping out
[19:49] <axy_david> i hold
[19:49] <rocket16> Facts related to payment are insulting to all! Anyway, the fact might be offtopic.
[19:50] <axy_david> what?
[19:50] <axy_david> aaa ok
[19:50] <iceroot> axy_david: dont spam the channel, write it in one line and name the nick from the person you are talking to
[19:50] <wise_crypt> hi all is puppy-linux supported here ?
[19:50] <axy_david> iceroot ok
[19:50] <blue_anna> where should I look to see errors taht caused a reboot? /var/log/syslog right?
[19:50] <bugs_bugger_> ionut: for navigation (history back and forward) you can also use ALT + LEFT/RIGHTARROW. but i guess its mostly about deleting text, huh?
[19:50] <chelogui> i have a problem with my totem... my totem don't play videos of the youtube, there is a error with libgdata
[19:50] <iceroot> blue_anna: yes

[19:51] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: how is it ?
[19:51] <iceroot> wise_crypt: no
[19:51] <blue_anna> iceroot: and if there's nothing there? you think that means a power outage or -- would there be something for that too?
[19:51] <rocket16> Owner: Sir, I don't know wherefrom you got that idea that we are paid. We are all volunteers, and we like sharing knowledge here! I hope you understood! Sorry for being rude, but that word fired up my mind.
[19:51] <bugs_bugger_> oh. hi wise_crypt. didnt see you were online
[19:51] <ionut> bugs_bugger_: now, is anoying to use 2 buttons when you can use just one, is faster.
[19:51] <xangua> chelogui: maybe youtube changed something
[19:51] <blue_anna> actually my UPS battery is at 100%

[19:52] <sebsebseb> berklib: ok what  do you want to do?
[19:52] <bugs_bugger_> non im aware of
[19:52] <axy_david> 6.06 had an error in the middle of installation
[19:52] <berklib> hey everyone , I have an unused partition I want to combine with my linux partition
[19:53] <xbonton> ubuntu crashes randomly showin black and white lines pls help
[19:53] <sebsebseb> berklib: right so, make it into a Linux partition and use it, I guess
[19:53] <blue_anna> iceroot: there is .. seems shutdown was requested while I was at lunch
[19:53] <rocket16> berklib: Well, use Disk Utility, and erase that partition. Now, increase the size of the Linux partition.
[19:53] <sebsebseb> berklib: Linux distros can use Windows partitions as well
[19:53] <iceroot> blue_anna: ah ok
[19:53] <blue_anna> oo no, that was was this morning
[19:53] <berklib> rocket16 , once I erase it , what do I do ?
[19:53] <Owner> i was just asking rocket16 :) im glad there are ppl as helpful as you guys, doing that for no money! :)
[19:53] <blue_anna> there's nothing in my logs :S
[19:54] <sebsebseb> berklib: to resize Ubuntu partition you would need to be on Live CD,  also have data backedup, in case something goes wrong, but thats unlikely to happen
[19:54] <Crnobog> Hello, my laptop is not suspending/resuming properly - can someone point me at the right logs to start finding out what's wrong?
[19:54] <whodat> panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet".
[19:54] <rocket16> berklib: You need to erase that partition, then the extra space is to be added to your existing Linux-Partition, by resizing it.
[19:54] <whodat> Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?
[19:55] <rocket16> Owner: I understand, :) My apologies, that word related to "paid" fired up my mind. Sorry again.
[19:55] <berklib> rocket16 , how do I resize? I also have another partition housing windows xp
[19:55] <whodat> does this every boot
[19:55] <blue_anna> what's the easiest way to see just a list of bootup times recently?
[19:55] <bugs_bugger_> wise_crypt: i tried fdisk /dev/sda. according to the wordpress site it should know the parameter f (fix). but it doesnt. and partprobe failed, something was busy. i dont think that order thing is the real problem.
[19:55] <whodat> 10.04
[19:55] <axy_david> hello?
[19:56] <blue_anna> !ask | axy_david
[19:56] <xangua> whodat: have you tried to restore the default panel configuration¿
[19:56] <xangua> !panels
[19:56] <rocket16> berklib: AS sebsebseb told, you need a Live CD to do that. Boot from it in Live Mode, and then use Disk Utility from there to resize the Linux partition, and back up any data (in case something goes wrong there).
[19:56] <whodat> how to do that?
[19:56] <xbonton> ubuntu crashes randomly showing black and white lines pls help

[19:59] <derick_> have u went to the hardware drivers section?
[19:59] <angus> i'm trying to install a program on my laptop and it requests libmath when running ./configure
[19:59] <jr-minnaar> jungli: interrupt request table
[19:59] <angus> but when i search that on synaptic many many are listed
[19:59] <gottto> axy_david: there is #ubuntu-powerpc for that
[19:59] <DogoDave> derick_ yes I have
[19:59] <jungli> jr-minnaar: what is use of that ?
[19:59] <axy_david> no one in there
[19:59] <soreau> hmw: Have you tried disabling compiz to see if this is part of the problem?
[20:00] <derick_> is it connected to a wired connection?
[20:00] <gottto> axy_david: there's 17 ppl in there - you need to be patient
[20:00] <Crnobog> My laptop is not suspending/resuming properly - can someone point me at the right logs to find out what's wrong?
[20:00] <DogoDave> derick it is at the moment but I have disconnected and reboot to see of network manager would notice is but is does not

[20:01] <chandler243> Hi! I am having issues with Webmin, I just restarted my computer and now I can only access the local (127.0.0.1:10000) interface, not the remote interface
[20:01] <derick_> DogoDave: have u looked on the ubuntu forums?
[20:01] <jr-minnaar> jungli: its when u plug in a removeble device it gets an interrupt number which gets stored in this table. Or something like that
[20:01] <soreau> gottto: Oh I thought you meant here :)
[20:01] <hmw> soreau: I have so many windows open, I don't want them to mix in one workspace right now... I extended my web search and found a forum entry; It seems to be compiz.
[20:01] <gottto> soreau: was talking about #ubuntu-powerpc
[20:01] <hmw> soreau: thanks!
[20:01] <derick_> does anyone know how to get .wma files to play on ubuntu?
[20:02] <xangua> derick_: have you installed restricted-extras¿
[20:02] <chandler243> Derick: Meet Rhythmbox
[20:02] <axy_david> gotta: no there is only me in there
[20:02] <theoros_> my computer loses power spontaneously. this is a problem i've had with previous ubuntu installations on this machine and i do not get this problem running windows. how can i debug this problem? is there a log file which would get written to if it's a hardware issue?
[20:02] <derick_> xangua: where do i get that? i used rythembox and it won't play it
[20:02] <jr-minnaar> derick: Just open it in movieplayer or rythmbox and it will automatically download the needed codecs
[20:02] <DogoDave> derick yes i followed the instruction posted by a blaze something or other but it did not work for me.... I have installed ndiswrapper from the live cd and have the .inf file from my linksys driver
[20:02] <axy_david> gotta: tell me the rooms name
[20:02] <xangua> derick_: install restricted extras in softwr center
[20:03] <derick_> it can't find them
[20:03] <gottto> axy_david: then you have the wrong channel - try   /j #ubuntu-powerpc
[20:03] <soreau> axy_david: /j #ubuntu-powerpc
[20:03] <obstd> theoros: try disabling acpi
[20:03] <jungli> tthanks jr-minnaar
[20:03] <soreau> axy_david: You must have typoed the channel name
[20:03]  * jungli hugs jr-minnaar 
[20:04] <axy_david> JUST TELL ME THE NAME
[20:04] <theoros> obstd: what will that achieve?
[20:04] <obstd> theoros: it may or may not make your system more stable
[20:04] <chandler243> I am having issues with webmin, After reboot, I can now only access the local interface (127.0.0.1:10000) not the remote (External) interface
[20:04] <jr-minnaar> jungli: no problem, though i think my definition is a bit rusted....
[20:04] <derick_> shouldn't vlc play it? cause in windows vlc plays everything
[20:04] <blue_anna> can anyone here verify that ubuntu-tweak's own repository is a safe repository?

[20:05] <obstd> theoros: yes! it's a kernel option: acpi=off

[20:14] <LloydUK> I'm sure it's a very simple problem bt I couldn't figure it out, I played with System Tester but no luck

[20:15] <sebsebseb> eipi-1: If you put Ubuntu 10.04 on,  and use either the black default theme or the grey one.  Ambiance Radience whatever their  called.  The buttons will be on the left in a slightly odd order.  If use another theme they will be on the right like Windows.  So I would suggest having them like Windows, since that is what people will be used to.
[20:15] <sebsebseb> !controls | eipi-1
[20:16] <soreau> LloydUK: Ok, open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) then type 'lspci' and press enter
[20:16] <bezdomni> LloydUK: lspci (not lscpi) is a command you can type in your terminal (Accessories -> Terminal)
[20:16] <resno> LloydUK: open up termianl. applications > assecoties > terminal

[20:16] <LloydUK> Soreau/Bezdomni - don't be angry but I've had to come back into Windows 7 just to get online to find out what's wrong I'm afraid.
[20:16] <bezdomni> LloydUK: Something helpful in addition to what these other guys are telling you is that you can use this command "man lspci" to learn more about any command.
[20:16] <cheater99> i remember it used to work before i upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10

[20:17] <LloydUK> Ah thanks Bezdomni - a bit like the ? in DOS
[20:17] <cheater99> wise_crypt, i remember there was one when i first installed but not anymore
[20:17] <eipi-1> sebsebseb, good point

[20:17] <cheater99> alright... i'll check the links..
[20:18] <alex_641> hi everyone
[20:18] <blue_anna> join #af9015
[20:18] <bezdomni> LloydUK: It is like DOS prompt only in that it is a command line interface to your computer. The Unix terminal (or "shell", in most Unices it is the "bash shell" - Bourne Again shell) is a powerful programming language :)
[20:18] <blue_anna> oop
[20:18] <wise_crypt> !hi alex_641
[20:18] <pratik_narain> NightlyUser: i tried the community docs already
[20:18] <the-matrix> what command to use?
[20:18] <alex_641> i'm buying a new dell laptop, just want to know if there's someone so nice to tell me, more or less, if it will run ubuntu or not
[20:19] <Beyecixramd> is PDF an open format like .odt?
[20:19] <bezdomni> LloydUK: Try typing "man man" and then type "q" when you are finished scrolling through it. (without the quote marks, obviously)
[20:19] <Beyecixramd> open, and not encumbered by patents
[20:19] <alex_641> it's a dell, so i'm quite sure it will work fine, but i have 2-3 otpions
[20:19] <Metrop021> ey my grub's giving me file not found errors, kinda makes it hard to boot. whats the best way to reinstall grub using the live cd, i've tried some methods i've found from google but they don't seem to install to mbr
[20:19] <bezdomni> You can learn a lot about your new system by reading the manual. Unlike Windows - there is nothing hidden from you and everything is open for you to read and learn about.
[20:19] <wise_crypt> !grub2 | Metrop021
[20:20] <cheater99> great, i solved it, thanks
[20:20] <LloydUK> Bezdomni - Ah great info thank you. I can't get at it without booting back to Ubuntu and losing you. Do you think there are some drivers I should download to a USB stick to take back with me?
[20:20] <derick_> ok i installed the restricted extra's and still can't play the wma files
[20:20] <wise_crypt> cheater99: no problem thank to ubottu
[20:20] <Metrop021> aight ill give that one a shot rq
[20:20] <cheater99> wise_crypt, next problem if i may. my laptop's touchpad doesn't work (it's a ps/2 based one i believe)
[20:20] <Beyecixramd> is the Portable Document Format a FLOSS patent like Open Document Format?
[20:20] <bezdomni> LloydUK: I am not sure exactly what your problem is. What drivers are malfunctioning?
[20:20] <wise_crypt> cheater99:  :)
[20:20] <alex_641> mmm anybody? just look at a webpage with the details..
[20:20] <bugs_bugger_> wise_crypt: so i have to create swap on sda6 and then swapon -a

[20:21] <alex_641> the second one..http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-inspiron-17?c=it&l=it&s=dhs
[20:21] <imthenachoman> anyone used webmin?
[20:21] <bezdomni> I just started looking at the conversation
[20:21] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: do you have a swap disk ?
[20:21] <derick_> how can i play these .wma files?
[20:21]  * cheater99 has been trying to fix this stuff for some time now and decided to sit down and finally fix ubuntu's all problems
[20:21] <LloydUK> Bezdomni - I am sure you have met many like me who have had enough of Windows going downhill. I've been with MS since DOS 6.22 but they peaked at XP and now I've had enough of them. I shall go back and run those commands and come back here shortly - sound good?
[20:21] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: do you have a swap disk on your fstab ?
[20:22] <bezdomni> Is this a wifi issue you're having?
[20:22] <bezdomni> You have this card -  RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/Mini-PCI (rev01)
[20:22] <LloydUK> Bezdoni - that's right
[20:22] <bugs_bugger_> wise_crypt: yes, its sda6
[20:22] <LloydUK> *Bezdomni
[20:22] <derick_> anyone?
[20:22] <ruiserra> ola
[20:23] <bezdomni> LloydUK, one moment - let me look something up for you so you're not just running off to type commands that you have no idea what they do. ;)
[20:23] <NightlyUser> !codec | derick_
[20:23] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: always remember to sudo cp /the/important/file /the/important/file.old
[20:23] <owenll> !webmin | imthenachoman
[20:23] <yves____> s
[20:23] <yves____> d
[20:23] <xangua> ruiserra: hi, looking for ubuntu support¿
[20:23] <bezdomni> LloydUK: One more thing - what version of ubuntu are you using? 10.04 is the newest.
[20:23] <derick_> i've already installed the restricted thing
[20:23] <LloydUK> Ha thanks Bezdomni - I'll have to take a photo of the screen on my phone so I remember the commands back in Ubuntu. It is 10.04 - downloaded and installed today.
[20:24] <bugs_bugger_> wise_crypt: kay. i'll backup fstab and co with the on live cd
[20:24] <imthenachoman> owenll: oh..ty
[20:24] <elfo> hi, im having some trouble browsing de web and entering on amsn...web pages are taking a long time to open and the same for amsn...if i open IE using my virtualbox on XP it works just fine...anyone knows what that might be??
[20:24] <bezdomni> Haha - what commands exactly are you going to use? lspci will mostly tell you things you can find in Windows and already seem to know.
[20:24] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: dont do it
[20:24] <NightlyUser> derick_: if you've installed the codecs the .wmv file should play just fine
[20:24] <bugs_bugger_> wise_crypt: ok, why?
[20:24] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: its not your fstab but the livecd fstab
[20:24] <derick_> its a .wma files, audio not video
[20:24] <bezdomni> The commands I told you are solely for you to use to learn about Linux commands and find your way around the terminal (use the "man" command - short for manual when you want to learn about another command)
[20:25] <LloydUK> Bezdomni No idea! I don't get why it worked with version 9 on a Live CD but not on version 10.04 with a LiveCD and install.
[20:25] <bezdomni> They won't help ya with your wireless problem....Ubuntu has gotten pretty good with supporting wifi cards out of the box.
[20:25] <NightlyUser> derick_: same thing applies
[20:25] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: your using the live cd as OS and your box just a mounted device in live cd
[20:25] <derick_> it won't play it, no program will, not even VLC. but VLC is calling them .WMAL files
[20:25] <NightlyUser> derick_: do you have gstreamer10-plugins-bad installed?
[20:26] <imthenachoman> !ebox
[20:26] <LloydUK> Bezdomni - one minute it was supporting, one minute it wasn't. Maybe I should install the old version 9 again and then use the internal Updates Manager to bring myself up?
[20:26] <kyle_> Has anyone else had extreme slowness issues with the remote-desktop viewer in 10?
[20:26] <NightlyUser> derick_: or ffmpeg
[20:26] <bezdomni> LloydUK: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=853942 have you seen this forum thread? Does this pertain to your problem (note that it is for an older version of Ubuntu, but it seems like there are steps you can take on this)
[20:27] <bugs_bugger_> wise_crypt: yeah, i know that. but i can acces the /etc/fstab on the original root partition
[20:27] <LloydUK> Bezdomni - taking a look now.
[20:27] <derick_> ffmpg is installed, cant find the gstreamer bad
[20:27] <bezdomni> LloydUK: It should work out of the box with 10.04 if it worked in previous versions, unless someone screwed up big packaging ubuntu :)
[20:28] <NightlyUser> derick_: it's just a case of installing the right codecs
[20:29] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: use sudo gedit /media/yourdevicename/etc/fstab
[20:29] <LloydUK> Bezdomni - I can only assume someone screwed up, I don't know enough to break it! On version 9 it booted up and I just put my wireless password in and was online, on 10.04 the wireless icon at the top left just says there are no available networks. I'm on desktop so it's not like I've moved around the house to a blindspot
[20:29] <derick_> ok what do i need to install, cause i have 129gb of wma files i would like to play, converting would blow this laptop up
[20:29] <LloydUK> Bezdomni - these first steps away from MS are scary!
[20:29] <NightlyUser> !wma
[20:29] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: dont do this "cp /etc/fstab /media/devicename/etc/fstab"
[20:30] <bezdomni> LloydUK: It all gets easier once you can connect your linux box to the internet
[20:30] <bezdomni> Is there any way you could get a wired connection?
[20:30] <wise_crypt> !who | NightlyUser
[20:30] <rocket16> Where is the Chrome Cache stored in Ubuntu?
[20:30] <bugs_bugger_> wise_crypt: can't i just copy it and rename it to *.old?  i am NOT copying the live-cd fstab but the fstab on my root partition (can be accessed from places)
[20:31] <imthenachoman> so does ebox have support for apache?
[20:31] <LloydUK> Bezdomni - unfortunately not - miles away from the phone line and I've leant my old Linksys WRT54G out or I'd use that to bridge
[20:31] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: yes
[20:31] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: gksudo nautilus

[20:35] <mneptok> Gouda: that's not directly related to support. such questions belong in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:35] <wise_crypt> Gouda: try to read the release note
[20:35] <Chuck27> edit>preferences
[20:36] <Gouda> I did, I was asking for PERSONAL experience with the operating system
[20:36] <wise_crypt> Gouda: but its really off topic btw
[20:36] <bezdomni> LloydUK: All hope isn't lost. I will PM you with some things to download. If they don't work and get you connected to the internet, come back here and get my attention and we'll figure out where to go from here.
[20:36] <judgen> How do i change the icon theme to any of my other installed ones in gnome through an terminal?
[20:36] <Yashy> Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an Acer Aspire one, wireless NIC just stopped working, no longer listed in ifconfig. # rfkill list # now shows it as Hard blocked. modprobe -r -f ath5k && modprobe ath5k did not resolve. Any ideas?
[20:36] <Gouda> Im sorry but I disagree with you
[20:36] <mneptok> Gouda: that's not a support question.
[20:36] <Gouda> I am getting support on a decision for Ubuntu
[20:36] <wise_crypt> Gouda: this is a "support" chanel
[20:36] <mneptok> Gouda: you are welcome to disagree. but you will still move such questions to #ubuntu-offtopic. thanks.
[20:36] <jungli> how can enableipv6 in ubuntu ?
[20:36] <LloydUK> Bezdomni - thank you so much for your help.
[20:37] <wise_crypt> !poll ! Gouda
[20:37] <mneptok> wise_crypt: please let me handle this. too many cooks ...
[20:37] <NightlyUser> !ipv6 | jungli
[20:37] <Gouda> lol
[20:37] <bezdomni> LloydUK: There seems to be an issue with support for some wireless cards breaking on the upgrade to 10.04, but it should be hopefully resolved very soon. There are a lot of people hard at work to resolve these issues, and I don't imagine this will be a tough one for them to fix.
[20:37] <wise_crypt> mneptok: ok

[20:44] <etale> hi all... I've been trying to install ubuntu on an acer aspire and keep getting "input/output" error... I tried installing 10.04 by CD, by bootable USB, then 9.10 by bootable USB... none of the methods works, install begins but gets interrupted with this error message every time... any ideas?
[20:44] <j03> Does anyone have any idea;s?
[20:44] <the-matrix> how to broadcast messages on ubuntu?
[20:44] <xomp> could someone please tell me how to tar/bzip a directory? I would like to do this to my /home/xomp directory but it's not working correctly and google/ubuntu forums is giving me some 20+ different commands it's very confusing.
[20:44] <guntbert> !md5sum | etale did you check the iso?
[20:44] <vithos> i have 10.04 on a pentium-II 450MHz box and the mouse cursor leaves copies of its image everywhere, moves very slow, and there are huge repainting issues with just about everything else too. but it has none of these problems in SLAX 6.2.1 live. any ideas?
[20:44] <xomp> I slightly recall doing this before with $HOME or something but dunno
[20:45] <Gump> trying to do a factory reset on my computer. my computer does not have a restore disk or anything of that nature, just a disk partition with windows vista install files on it. obviously i can't make that happen from within ubuntu, and it appears that GRUB is interfering with the restore menu
[20:45] <kyle_> xomp: Lookup some basic unix tutorials.  They will get you going.  For now, lets cover tar.
[20:45] <Gump> i completely uninstalled grub and restarted, and grub STILL works. wtf?
[20:45] <kyle_> xomp: tar -cf archive.tar /path/to/stuff/
[20:45] <xomp> kyle_, I would love too but I'm pressed for time right now as this is my game server that's offline right now
[20:45] <wise_crypt> the-matrix: man wall
[20:45] <kyle_> xomp: That will create a tarball of whatever is in /path/to/stuff.
[20:45] <Slart> Gump: I'm not sure if uninstalling grub actually removes it from mbr and such
[20:46] <datacrusher> askhader, its the package nautilus-image-converter
[20:46] <kyle_> xomp: after that, type bzip2 archice.tar (or whatever you name it).
[20:46] <xomp> kyle_, thanks I'll give it a try :)
[20:46] <datacrusher> its already on synaptic, btw
[20:46] <kyle_> xomp: yes, you can do both at once, but until you've read up on it, tha twill be better.
[20:46] <kyle_> xomp: OK.
[20:46] <Gump> Slart: if i went in and manually deleted the files, would that remove grub and make the computer boot directly to windows?
[20:46] <Slart> Gump: you might have to replace it with something else.. lilo or some other boot loader
[20:46] <the-matrix> i want the message to show on the desktop
[20:46] <vithos> gOS, slax run fine. ubuntu, mint have the same terrible graphical slowness
[20:46] <blue_anna> kyle_: sudo the tar command, there are often a few root permission configuration files in the home directory -- at least on lucid with xorg
[20:47] <Slart> Gump: nope.. you'll probably have to boot windows into some kind of recovery mode and run a command to fix the mbr.. I'm sure the ##windows channel can help you with the specifics
[20:47] <awb> Hello, is this the place to ask questions about ubuntu server or is there another IRC for that?
[20:47] <blue_anna> xomp: I meant you -- sudo the tar command
[20:47] <Gump> Slart: vista is destroyed beyond booting, i'm not trying to get it to boot. all i want is to be able to access the reset function on my computer
[20:47] <blue_anna> can anyone help me get my system to recognize my usb tv tuner? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9359048&postcount=108
[20:47] <Gump> but i will go ask them, thanks
[20:47] <Slart> Gump: I have no idea how that "reset" function does its thing.. sorry

[20:51] <Gump> duffydack: i can't boot into repair, that's the problem
[20:51] <Gump> if i could, then i could do the restore
[20:51] <duffydack> Gump, with the install disc?
[20:52] <axy_david> hahahahahaha
[20:52] <Slart> VirusTB_: search in synaptic for EXIF, all that data is called EXIF data. I don't know of any specific software
[20:52] <rocket16> bobbyyu: That is UCK (Ubuntu Customization Kit). Another good one is Remastersys.

[21:00] <duffydack> Gump, Not sure then..  Is there some chance that burning the install data will it boot from it?  could use a liveusb stick then to boot ubuntu and burn.

[21:01] <xxx_> is there any reason why citserver should be running?
[21:01] <xxx_> oops
[21:01] <PDG1> coz_, or do you mean alt+F2

[21:02] <axy_david> iceroot:what is an troll?
[21:02] <PDG1> coz_, alt + f2 then enter gnome-terminal if you're using gnome
[21:02] <iceroot> axy_david: this is ubuntu-support if you have a question ask it, if you want to help, then help but dont troll here please
[21:03] <xxx_> axy_david, why?
[21:03] <wise_crypt> !language | axy_david
[21:03] <PDG1> coz_, but you could also use a keyboard shortcut like super+T or something to open a terminal
[21:03] <etale> guntbert i skipped the file and its progressing now but the same error comes up again at 46%
[21:03] <coz_> PDG1,  no the alt+F2 is disabled here  need the actual  command to open the run command dialog
[21:03] <l1f3> coz_: run gnome-panel
[21:03] <axy_david> !languaage:wise_crypt
[21:04] <axy_david> !languaage:wise_crypt
[21:04] <etale> guntbert : now i get "[errno 5] Input/output error" and the same remarks from the pastebin i linked

[21:04] <iceroot> !ops | axy_david
[21:04] <axy_david> !language:wise_crypt
[21:04] <coz_> l1f3,  i already have gnome panel running
[21:04] <guntbert> etale: *seems* clear enough (although you told us what you tried already) - one thing you could still test : in the CD menu there is a choice "check CD for errors", you can do that with an usb stick too,
[21:04] <P4nd4_jr> #vivaolinux
[21:04] <Blade-Runner> axy_david : Take a Break ; have a kit-kat
[21:04] <coz_> l1f3,  and alt+F2 is disabled in keyboard shortcuts  so I just want the terminal command to open the run dialog
[21:04] <obiwan_> hey guys, it's 10.04 now here :) lucid lynx time :P
[21:04] <etale> guntbert : what's the CD menu? where do you mean?
[21:05] <l1f3> coz_: check keyboard shortcuts in Preferences
[21:05] <guntbert> etale: do you use the live CD/ubuntu desktop?
[21:05] <coz_> l1f3,  its not there because I removed it
[21:05] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: it didnt work. device or resorce busy when i type sudo mkswap /dev/sda6
[21:05] <artisan> what it the suggested way to start / stop pulseaudio? when I kill it it respawns, when I kill it alot, I cant restart it and system (X) hangs/lags alot. why all that? pulse doesnt show my secondary soundcard which  i want to use as primary .. so :/

[21:06] <l1f3> coz_: pretty much screwed tbh ^^. can you open a shell?
[21:06] <etale> guntbert i booted into a live environment via usb, the file was the 9.10-desktop.i386 version
[21:06] <coz_> l1f3,  yes of course
[21:06] <coz_> l1f3,  but there has to be a terminal command to open the gnome-run dialog :)
[21:06] <artisan> coz_: Alt-F2 ?
[21:07] <IsmAvatar> Installing Ubuntu 10.04, when it gets to partition, it doesn't list anything in the table and all the buttons are grayed out except Quit, Back, and Forward

[21:07] <IsmAvatar> idunno
[21:07] <coz_> soreau,  probably    looking for terminal command though :)
[21:07] <acerimmer> IsmAvatar: single HDD install or wubi?
[21:08] <IsmAvatar> iceroot: single HDD (sata) install
[21:08] <l1f3> coz_: cuz it come with with gnome-panel . i stucked there for sometime when i disable gnome-panel (killall gnome-panel) and cant do Alt+F2
[21:08] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: wierd
[21:08] <IsmAvatar> er
[21:08] <IsmAvatar> acerimmer: *
[21:08] <PDG1> coz_, what's wrong with running things from terminal?
[21:08] <blindmind> Hi guys, is there a way to have like a live ubuntu USB edition, but have my own apps installed on the USB drive and keep some files too? Thanks
[21:08] <jrib> soreau: there doesn't exist one.  In the past, there was some small program that would do it though (not in the repos)
[21:08] <jrib> coz_: there doesn't exist one.  In the past, there was some small program that would do it though (not in the repos)

[21:09] <iceroot> axy_david: noone will help you, that is the problem because of your language before
[21:09] <acerimmer> IsmAvatar: private.  click on my nickname
[21:09] <maco> !patience | axy_david
[21:09] <maco> axy_david: check your attitude please, or i may be forced to remove you from the channel
[21:09] <coz_> jrib,  I want to use easystrroke to run the run dialog but I need a command for it
[21:10] <IsmAvatar> acerimmer: not sure how to do that with my client. Private me instead, lol
[21:10] <PDG1> coz_, maybe irrelevant to your problem... but try out gnome-do.
[21:10] <axy_david> maco:then help meeeeeeeeee
[21:10] <jrib> coz_: ah, I see.  Well you probably want to find that program I mentioned or some up-to-date equivalent of it then
[21:10] <wise_crypt> axy_david: what is wrong with it any way?
[21:10] <maco> axy_david: i don't know anything about powerpc, but i do know the channel rules and have the power to remove those who do not follow them
[21:10] <coz_> jrib,  yeah I  have found a few that replace the gnome run dialog but none quite as nice  but thanks
[21:10] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: http://pastebin.com/VGQBCK21
[21:11] <jrib> coz_: no, the program does not replace it, it just calls the same function alt-f2 does
[21:11] <l1f3> coz_, jrib . im looking for the samething. let's me know if find it
[21:11] <NightlyUser> !ppc | axy_david
[21:11] <acerimmer> IsmAvatar: private doesn't seem to work.  stay here.  Suggest u live boot, go to Disk Utilities and delete all partitions.  THEN start install.
[21:11] <axy_david> wise_crypt: boot
[21:11] <oem_> hi, when i am about to start the live CD when a graphical display is about to come i get a distorted image.. only showing two colors, 2 black bars in the middle and a gray cloud on the bottom :S, even if i select compatibility mode i cannot get to see nothing, any tip?
[21:11] <Blade-Runner> axy_david : In-fact you could come later in the session ; there some one might know | instead of wasting time.
[21:11] <alienkid10> on step 8(?) summery I am installing to a external HDD I have to put GRUB on the External HDD right? Then can GRUB4DOS chainload it to boot to the external? (yes complicated set up but the parents problem)
[21:11] <coz_> and I really dont want to use gnome-do  I dont like it at all   but if it calls the run dialog then there is a command that also calls it yes?
[21:12] <etale> guntbert ok I'll have a look
[21:12] <axy_david> blade-runner:what do u mean?
[21:12] <jrib> l1f3, coz_ : forums are pointing me to a binary called gnome-panel-control that is part of openbox.  You could try that: gnome-panel-control --run-dialog
[21:12] <uniscript> I've made a luks encrypted disk and added the /dev/mapper to my fstab mounting it to /mnt/backup. Now how do I clear out the /dev/mapper entry when I want to umount it? Oh the filesystem is btrfs.
[21:12] <thevor> Hi i currently am dual booting ubuntu with a windows installation, and I am wondering if it is possible to remove my windows installation without fulling formatting and starting from scratch. I know this isn't ubuntu specific question but I was just hoping someone might know
[21:12] <acerimmer> IsmAvatar: btw, presuming you're using the ubuntu desktop graphical .Iso and that u checksumed and checked the cd for defects
[21:12] <coz_> jrib,  yeah I saw that myself  but no thats not the solution I am looking for  but thanks guys I will find the command :)
[21:12] <axy_david> powerpc expert?
[21:13] <jrib> coz_: in what way is it not the solution you want?  (so we can find the right one)
[21:13] <IsmAvatar> acerimmer: yes, I'm using the same CD I used to install on another computer successfully
[21:13] <acerimmer> thevor: yes.  you'd have to delete the win7 part and then you'd have to fix grub, i.e. sudo update grub
[21:13] <xangua>  /j #ubuntu-powerpc
[21:13] <thevor> It's vista, does tha tmakea  difference?
[21:13] <uniscript> thevor: can you wipe the windows partition and add it to the lvm collection and so make it available to your linux root space?
[21:13] <acerimmer> IsmAvatar: noted
[21:13] <ubuntu-netbook1> hi people!
[21:13] <axy_david> hi
[21:13] <thevor> @uniscript Kind of unsure what a lot of that means.
[21:13] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger:  http://pastebin.com/tB6F34h6
[21:14] <acerimmer> thevor: not really.  deleting win will trash the mbr.  grub update will restore your ubuntu boot functionality
[21:14] <guntbert> etale: its the third choice in that menu (after the language)
[21:14] <DarkAvenger> can someone with 10.04 upload their /etc/fonts/fonts.conf on pastebin (yes i deleted it)
[21:14] <thevor> @uniscript I just want to get rid of windows, but don't want to fully wipe my machine and re-install ubuntu
[21:14] <uniscript> @thevor you can just wipe your windows partition. Install gparted
[21:14] <uniscript> and use that to wipe the partition or reformat it to something else
[21:14] <WakkaWakka> or dual boot.
[21:14] <alienkid10> if i am directly installing to USB disk I put the MBR (GRUB) in the USB right?
[21:15] <thevor> @uniscipt ok cool thanks a lot
[21:15] <axy_david> heeeeelp powerpc
[21:15] <maco> axy_david: there is a #ubuntu-powerpc channel
[21:15] <PDG1> eitherway... if i put a line in my fstab to mount a smb share and that share doesn't require a password or usenname... do i still need to include it?
[21:15] <thevor> @uniscript &others, this channel is always incredibly fast and helpful. Thanks a lot.
[21:15] <axy_david> maco:then go there an tell me how many are  there
[21:15] <wise_crypt> axy_david: what is wrong with the boot
[21:15] <uniscript> for you maybe :) Anyone know anything about automounted encrypted drives?
[21:16] <axy_david> wise_crypt: 10.04 live does not boot
[21:16] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: what did you change. just the mount point flag to swap?
[21:16] <axy_david> wise_crypt: 6.06 does install partially
[21:16] <wise_crypt> axy_david: what is wrong with the boot prosses is there any error code etc
[21:16] <ubuntu-netbook1> I am trying to install vmware player 3.0.1 on LL but it requires gcc-4.4.3 and LL have gcc-4.4, (appears a message that couldn't build a kernel modulo to fit) any advice to install it?
[21:16] <jrib> coz_: it's easy enough to just compile gnome-panel-control without installing openbox if that's the isuse
[21:16] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger:  yup
[21:16] <maco> axy_david: 10-20 people. you shouldnt expect answers right away. not everyone who knows $topic is on 24/7.  ask your question and hang around a while waiting for an answer. and "your question" does not mean "does anyone know about powerpc?" it mans "i am having issues with <specific thing> on ubuntu <version> with powerpc"
[21:17] <axy_david> wise_crypp: no errors it  just won't boot
[21:17] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: ok. lets see if it does the trick
[21:17] <lvh> Hey, remember that gdm thing people said was impossible? ~/.local/share/applications, add a .desktop file, it works fine
[21:17] <axy_david> maco: can u tell me the channels name?
[21:17] <maco> axy_david: i have done so twice. #ubuntu-powerpc
[21:17] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger:  ok
[21:17] <lvh> Second option: WINDOW_MANAGER="/home/lvh/.local/bin/stumpwm"; export WINDOW_MANAGER, the default gnome-wm script executes WINDOW_MANAGER just fine.
[21:18] <wise_crypt> axy_david: did the grub loader loaded ?
[21:18] <PDG1> exit
[21:19] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: do i have to enter any further commands in the recover shell or is the fstab alteration sufficient?
[21:19] <IsmAvatar> acerimmer: deleted the partitions and it seems to have gotten the HD to show up for install. Thank you (so far)
[21:19] <DarkAvenger> can someone with 10.04 upload their /etc/fonts/fonts.conf on pastebin (yes i deleted it)
[21:19] <acerimmer> IsmAvatar: no prob
[21:19] <ubuntu-netbook1> Hi people!  I am trying to install vmware player 3.0.1 on LL but it requires gcc-4.4.3 and LL have gcc-4.4, (appears a message that couldn't build a kernel modulo to fit) any advice to install it? or how can I upgrade to gcc-4.4.3?
[21:19] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger:  not following
[21:20] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger:  try to boot normal
[21:20] <jrib> ubuntu-netbook1: not exactly the answer to your question, but why not use something like virtualbox that is available in the repositories?
[21:20] <bugs_bugger> ok.
[21:20] <Blade-Runner> !paste | Blade-Runner
[21:20] <DogoDave> Okay, I just got my wireless driver working however I can't connect when I use any security on my browser (no security it connects and give me internet - tested ok) I ran a command  sudo iwlist wlan0 auth and it shows that I have encryption capabilities but that they are disable.
[21:20] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: see ya in a few mins, hopefully
[21:20] <NimbleRabit> If I'm running 2 commands, the first which outputs to "-" (std out), the second which reads from "-" (std in), is there a way I can run the first command on one computer, and the second on a second computer?  Basically how do I take the stdout from the first command, and transfer it to stdin on a second machine for the other command?
[21:20] <DogoDave> Does someone know how to enable the encryption ?
[21:21] <hugli> How can I mount ext3 volume so that I can change UIDs & GIDs on it?
[21:21] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger:  :)
[21:22] <rocket16> The Show Visualisations option is unavailable under view menu in Exaile, what to do now?
[21:22] <wise_crypt> NimbleRabit: somebody at #bash may help you better with that
[21:23] <axy_david> ppc help
[21:23] <NimbleRabit> wise_crypt, thanks
[21:23] <obstd> NimbleRabit: no, ssh is the tool you'd want to use
[21:23] <wise_crypt> NimbleRabit: no problem
[21:23] <ubuntu-netbook1> hi jrib, the netbook isn't of me, is of my boss, i suggested him that (use VBox instead of VMW) , but he wants vmware player :s

[21:24] <jeremyn> anyone know if it's possible to separate the gnome clock applet time from system time, so i can keep my system on UTC but the applet displaying local time?
[21:24] <acerimmer> jeremyn: u can add a 2nd clock applet
[21:24] <axy_david> hello iam curently an bot so please watch your language
[21:25] <axy_david> hello am curently an bot so please watch your language
[21:25] <guntbert> axy_david: stop that nonsense please
[21:25] <jeremyn> acerimmer: how would that be any different?
[21:25] <acerimmer> axy_david: grow up
[21:25] <acerimmer> jeremyn: u can set teh 2nd clock to whatever zone u wish
[21:25] <l1f3> jrib, coz_ : found it, bashrun http://bashrun.sourceforge.net/
[21:26] <guntbert> !u | acerimmer
[21:26] <axy_david> ur
[21:26] <acerimmer> guntbert: :)  OK
[21:26] <Sonsee> hi all, have eventually installed kubuntu 10.04 from CD. Everything works fine except one - in rekonq (wich I like much) flash does not work. Why is this? just empty spaces instead of flash`es.
[21:26] <Sonsee> *other browsers work.
[21:27] <wise_crypt> jeremyn,: system > administration > date & time > choose Network Time Protocol tab > chek Enable Net.....
[21:27] <jeremyn> acerimmer: doesn't work, turns out adding a second clock and changing the time causes both clock applets to crash. that was unexpected
[21:27] <Sonsee> and yea
[21:27] <Sonsee> youtube work too
[21:27] <Sonsee> !
[21:27] <acerimmer> jeremyn: sorry, i tried
[21:27] <jeremyn> acerimmer: no worries
[21:27] <guntbert> jeremyn: what is your purpose to keep UTC as system time?
[21:28] <martijn_> alright
[21:28] <zee> does anyone have an idea how to activate 2 finger scrolling...
[21:28] <zee> the option is greyed out on my dell mini 10v
[21:29] <hugli> how to mount ext3 volume so that I can change user and group ownership for files/directories on it later?
[21:29] <Bigshot> what's the "replacement" for this path? /usr/X11R6/include
[21:29] <jeremyn> wise_crypt: i don't want to use NTP, i want it all to be local
[21:29] <ruiserra> hi, im having some trouble browsing de web and entering on amsn...web pages are taking a long time to open and the same for amsn...if i open IE using my virtualbox on XP it works just fine...anyone knows what that might be??
[21:29] <Blade-Runner> !mouse | zee
[21:29] <nooneelse> is Empathy with some problem with the MSN plugin ??
[21:29] <jeremyn> guntbert: i want to keep the system time of my local system sync'd with a server on UTC, but the gnome applet on local time
[21:29] <Beyecixramd> zee: the Dell Mini 10v doesn't support multitouch (i own one, what a great machine, btw)
[21:29] <wise_crypt> jeremyn,: what for if i may ask ?
[21:29] <axy_david> I KILL ALL OF U U CAN SUCK MY FUCKING DICK I DON'T CARE GO 2 HELL AND FUCK YA MAMMA U FUCKING GAYS
[21:29] <Bigshot> what's the "replacement" for this path? /usr/X11R6/include <<-- in ubuntu?
[21:29] <obstd> hugli: just mount. only root can change ownerships anyhow.
[21:30] <xangua> !ops | axy_david
[21:30] <zee> no i had multitouch on windows 7 and kubuntu
[21:30] <nooneelse> is Empathy with some problem with the MSN plugin ??
[21:30] <nooneelse> it connects but doenst shows the online users
[21:30] <zee> beyecixramd : im sure it supports multitouch
[21:30] <guntbert> jeremyn: yes, you said that, but you didn't say why
[21:30] <jpds> xangua: Some people.
[21:31] <zee> at least 2 finger scrolling
[21:31] <Sauc1eR> I am just installing 10.04 alternate with encrypted LVM, during the process i was asked if i wanted to encrypt my home directory. I chose "no", it should be encrypted nonetheless since i created /home on the encrypted volume, right?
[21:31] <wise_crypt> axy_david: did the grub loader loaded ? <<< u havent answered this
[21:31] <DarkAvenger> can someone running 10.04 upload their /etc/fonts/fonts.conf on pastebin (yes i deleted it)
[21:31] <jpds> wise_crypt: He left.
[21:31] <hugli> I can't change UID or GIDs, not even via sudo  chown ...
[21:31] <uniscript> @Sauc1eR: yes
[21:31] <Bigshot> what's the "replacement" for this path? /usr/X11R6/include <<-- in ubuntu?
[21:31] <DogoDave> what was that is the channel getting hack or axy-david's nick stolen,  I just got a bunch of swear on my screan
[21:31] <Beyecixramd> zee: from what i know, the Dell Mini 10v tocuhpad doesn't support it. But the Dell Mini 10 does. The differencie is that the Dell Mini 10v has the buttons built into the touchpad, much like Apple notebooks. Are you sure it's a Mini 10v and not a 10?
[21:31] <hmw> We are trying to figure out, how to extract music from a flv video. There are many tutorials, most say it's: "ffmpeg -i computerworld.flv -acodec copy o.mp3" which does not do it, although I already activated Medibuntu. mencoder doesnt work, and I cant mave VLC doit, either (on the friend's pc it works, i do _exactly_ as he does, same Ubuntu version, but my VLC keeps playing, i want command line anyways) I think, I don't have the medibuntu 
[21:31] <wise_crypt> jpds: :))
[21:31] <jeremyn> guntbert: not sure how the reason can help get the gnome applet sorted out, please clarify
[21:31] <Sauc1eR> thx

[21:34] <hmw> acerimmer: thanks for the idea, but it's loosing quality this way, it's time consuming and won't work in batch. Ubuntu should be able to just _copy_ the audio layer, which already is MP3

[21:36] <Slart> hmw: do you have a link to the flv? some youtube movie?

[21:37] <kv102t_> What do I do to mount \\server01\shared on ubuntu at startup.
[21:38] <faissal> hi there
[21:38] <uniscript> @kv102t_ add it to your /etc/fstab
[21:38] <acicula> kv102t_, add it as a share in the users people and places?
[21:38] <dj_segfault> Software update is saying the following: "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa-name/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found"  How can I fix that?

[21:38] <hugli> obstd:I thought login for root root is disabled by default. What I'm trying to do is to mount Audio/Video volume, home volume & usr volume from another disc. I don't care for ownerships on the first one, but I'd like to see my /home and /usr being able to support this.
[21:38] <MaMoUs> Is there a way to restore grub to default values in Ubuntu 10.04
[21:38] <faissal> anyone knows how i can change the day the week starts in ubuntu10.04 please ??
[21:39] <acicula> dj_segfault, seems that ppa is not maintained anymore ?
[21:39] <dj_segfault> acicula: OK, what do I do about it?
[21:39] <acerimmer> MaMoUs: "default"?  grub reads what's on your hdd and configures so you can boot
[21:39] <acerimmer> MaMoUs: what are you trying to achieve
[21:39] <hmw> kv102t_: you could put the command for mounting into your autostarts in System / Preferences / Startup Applications. You should really check out, if the command works, before doing the autostart, of course: mount //server/share /path/to/mount/point
[21:39] <acicula> dj_segfault, remove it from your sources
[21:39] <MaMoUs> My pc Freeze when trying to Shutdown
[21:40] <acerimmer> MaMoUs: more details please, but it doesn't sound like a grub issue.
[21:40] <jrib> faissal: well that's determined by your locale I suppose
[21:40] <MaMoUs> oh oky ^^
[21:40] <acicula> hmw, that may actually not work very well because those are started with the same privs as the user that is loging in
[21:41] <hmw> acicula: that was my idea :)
[21:41] <MaMoUs> but my problem is , when i shutdown my ubuntu it freeze in the splash screen
[21:41] <Blade-Runner>  faissal  : System...Administration..time & date
[21:41] <faissal> well im on english us settings and the week starts sunday. i tried other locales too, but not working jrib
[21:41] <acerimmer> MaMoUs: are u dual booting with windows, wubi booting or what?
[21:41] <hmw> kv102t_: i dont like automounting smb stuff, its not so reliable and might become annying, when it doesnt work someday... perhaps you should use the bookmarks instead (open the share by clicking your way to it and use the menu of Nautlius Bookmarks / Add Bookmark) - this way you can reestablish the mount relatively easily
[21:41] <KaiForce> Anyone know if this is still true:  Warning: installing mod_mono may uninstall the PHP Apache module. Apparently they cannot co-exist.
[21:41] <MaMoUs> no
[21:42] <MaMoUs> nothing just ubuntu
[21:42] <faissal> Blade-Runner, i tried that but no... not there
[21:42] <jrib> faissal: if you really want to get into this, you can read more about locales (for example « man 5 locale » tells me how LC_TIME is structured and talks about the first day of the week
[21:42] <faissal> alright jrib
[21:42] <jrib> faissal: there may exist an easier way of course
[21:43] <Blade-Runner>  faissal  : What about Right Hand conner of the Screen
[21:43] <faissal> jrib,  thats what im trying to figure out cause i could just edit my locale conf but i dont wanna go that way

[21:43] <MaMoUs> i did nothing work

[21:45] <StevenR> how do I make the terminal beep/sound when I use audible ping?
[21:45] <faissal> Blade-Runner, its a fresh install
[21:45] <acerimmer> MaMoUs: if reboot, on the grub menu, you should find "recovery" mode as an option
[21:45] <bugs_bugger> yeah. it says: one or more one or more of the mounts listed in /ect/fstab cannot yet be mounted /home: waiting for UUID=0ce24204-7147-4008-b4c1-896fecc24ac7

[21:46] <acerimmer> MaMoUs: boot the live cd.  youi should fnd a repair option
[21:46] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: swapon: device or resource busy
[21:47] <MaMoUs> oky i will now thx man
[21:47] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: sorry, thats the result of mkswap. swapon -a doesnt give any result
[21:47] <StevenR> NightlyUser: that page doesn't help me. I'm extemely familiar with bash. But the terminal application on 10.04 simply won't make a sound.
[21:48] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: swap failed the earlier error code u pastebin it i mean
[21:48] <StevenR> NightlyUser: I can run ping -a bbc.co.uk  but no sound occurs.
[21:48] <NightlyUser> StevenR: sorry i can't help more
[21:49] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: oh. yeah. guess so. i did not enter CRL+D in recovery shell, just tried mkswap & swapon -a
[21:49] <uniscript> @StevenR you trying to enable the system beep on your terminal? There are a number of sound settings in the profile
[21:49] <mofei> hi
[21:49] <uniscript> you have to enable the terminal bell
[21:49] <acerimmer> !hi|mofei
[21:49] <StevenR> uniscript: yup. enabled. Doesn't work
[21:49] <vin> !hai
[21:49] <uniscript> did you enable system beep in your system sound settings?
[21:49] <testrun21> Hey, I'm running Ubuntu off my 1gb USB with little problem. But the sound didn't config properly. Any suggestions? i386 dell install.
[21:50] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: just change the /etc/fstab that i gave you dont do anything after this and reboot normally

[21:50] <DrDamnit> how well does multiple monitors work in 10.04?
[21:50] <StevenR> uniscript: you mean under prefs -> sound ?
[21:50] <AryehGregor> When upgrading a server from 8.10 to 10.04, does it make any sense to do all three upgrades consecutively without rebooting, or will it probably break things if I don't reboot in between?  I don't want to have to go on-site three times in case the machine doesn't come back up after reboot.
[21:50] <uniscript> @StevenR yes
[21:50] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: not in recovery just normal boot
[21:50] <hmw> !hi > kv102t_
[21:50] <vin> Who here is not running ubuntu
[21:50] <badcloud> StevenR: also, alsamixer -c0, make sure your pc speaker isn't muted
[21:50] <StevenR> uniscript: yup, enabled. can play the test sounds if I click them, but it doesn't work
[21:51] <uniscript> and alert volume isn't muted?
[21:51] <Blade-Runner> vin : Every body does ; why?
[21:51] <StevenR> uniscript: that only lists "master" and "pcm"
[21:51] <hmw> Slart: are you still on it?
[21:51] <vin> just wondering
[21:51] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: i did reboot normally. but ubuntu halts, says "one or more of the mounts listed in......" and gives me the option to enter recovery shell with ESC or to retry mountall. dead end...
[21:51] <uniscript> @StevenR which ubuntu?
[21:51] <Blade-Runner> !ask | vin
[21:51] <Slart> hmw: yup.. I extracted the audio as aac.. since that was it was in the movie.. but ffmpeg don't want to encode to mp3 so now I'm seeing if I can make it somehow
[21:51] <vin> wtf does that have to do with anything?
[21:52] <StevenR> uniscript: 10.04 gnome
[21:52] <Slart> hmw: the aac audio plays fine in vlc.. it's just the conversion to mp3 that is left
[21:52] <DrGrov> My fiancee is asking if she can install Ubuntu 10.04 on her Nokia Booklet 3G and get the internal web camera working for Skype. Anyone had this tested out?
[21:52] <DrGrov> How is Ubuntu otherwise working out on the Nokia Booklet 3G?
[21:52] <publicity> Hi, I burned a disk with a lot of back-up information while on Vista, and I just recently switched to Ubuntu. But, now, I can not mount the cd. I get "block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected.."
[21:52] <uniscript> @StevenR: in my preferences/sound under the sound effects tab the first thing is the alert volume. Do you have that?
[21:52] <hmw> Slart: i read, that ffmpec is crippled in ubuntu due to restriced stuff... i should use the medibuntu version, but I was either too stupid for getting this version, or that one is crippled, too...

[21:53] <bastidrazor> Vindy: godo thing you didn't write the book.
[21:53] <Slart> hmw: hmm.. too bad.. apart from that it was pretty easy to use ffmpeg
[21:53] <bastidrazor> s/godo/good
[21:54] <sebsebseb> bastidrazor: to late vin already left
[21:54] <DrDamnit> how well does multiple monitors work in 10.04?
[21:54] <badcloud> StevenR: did you check in alsamixer -c0 that your pc speaker isn't muted?
[21:54] <StevenR> badcloud: no pc speaker listed
[21:54] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: did you follow the link to fix the list and change your parameter to the one i gave you?
[21:54] <bastidrazor> sebsebseb: dang it. my only chance at being a smart alec before i leave for work.
[21:54] <hmw> Slart: i used to do it with    ffmpeg -i in.flv out.mp3    in jaunty or earlier
[21:54] <wise_crypt> bugs_bugger: did you follow the link to fix the list and change your *fstab parameter to the one i gave you?
[21:55] <sebsebseb> bastidrazor: pluss you had his name wrong, so highlight woudnt' have worked
[21:55] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: yeah, i did. changed it from none to swap

[21:55] <bastidrazor> sebsebseb: i guess having irssi ignore joins/parts/quits has some minor disadvantages.

[21:55] <Carutsu__> hello, can anyone help to install the Linksys wireless wmp300n card?… I followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3284373 but that didn't help, any ideas?
[21:55] <StevenR> badcloud: the only controls are "master" and "pcm".. alsamixer reports the chip as an HDA Intel/Conexant ID 5067
[21:55] <publicity> Hi, I burned a disk with a lot of back-up information while on Vista, and I just recently switched to Ubuntu. But, now, I can not mount the cd. I get "block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected.."

[21:56] <uniscript> @publicity, well that's true, a burned dvd (I assume) *is* read only

[22:04] <ciphergoth_> btw, WOW Lucid is pretty!
[22:04] <DogoDave> wise_crypt that method did work and now when I run the command sudo iwlist wlan0 auth it shows that the current WPA version is WPA2 so thanks for getting me this far but for some reason it still won't connect to my wireless router(but remember it does connect fine without security)

[22:23] <therealpxc> Hi. Is there any way to add a repository for manual installations only? (ie. all new versions from said repository are considered "held" by default)
[22:23] <webPragmatist> on mothboards
[22:23] <dirtydevil> acerimmer: running downloading
[22:23] <LinuxGuy2009> I read here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes that I can switch this PC to VESA by copying and pasting to /etc/X11/xorg.conf I just looked for that file and it doesn't exist in that folder. Does this mean I need to create it?
[22:23] <Freddy2> so.. no way to put update-manager in background? :/
[22:23] <dirtydevil> acerimmer: i tried to install some packages of mysql-cluster-client but it flashes some error
[22:24] <acerimmer> dirtydevil: ah.  well, my solution specifically was to avoid this via offline backup.
[22:24] <dirtydevil> ok
[22:24] <acerimmer> dirtydevil: the errors i see appear to be dpkg errors.  theere's a fix command - lemme look
[22:24] <Loshki> Slart: I can't tell from the man page. ffmpeg seems to use the extension of the output file name to determine the output format, and uses -i to specify the input ('-' might work there though). You could maybe use fifos to fake it...
[22:24] <dirtydevil> no i want to fix it.. can you help further?
[22:24] <dirtydevil> ok
[22:25] <Slart> Loshki: hmm.. thanks for the hints
[22:25] <dirtydevil> acerimmer: i tried sudo apt-get install -f but it didnt work
[22:25] <acerimmer> dirtydevil: sudo dpkg --configure -a [try to fix broken packages]
[22:26] <Oxford_> thans
[22:26] <Oxford_> thanks
[22:26] <dirtydevil> acerimmer: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[22:26] <acerimmer> dirtydevil: sudo apt-get -f install [try to fix broken packages]
[22:27] <dirtydevil> acerimmer: i tried but didn't worked
[22:27] <acerimmer> dirtydevil: shut down update/synaptic
[22:27] <acerimmer> then run fix commands
[22:27] <CkhiKuzad> do ubuntu 10.04 programs (like gwibber, empathy, etc) work on ubuntu 9.04?
[22:27] <Loshki> Slart: what are you trying to do? Maybe there's another way?
[22:28] <BluesKaj> dirtydevil, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[22:28] <Slart> Loshki: extracting audio from an flv file (aac audio) and converting it to an mp3-file
[22:28] <Loshki> CkhiKuzad: in general, no. But some will...
[22:28] <Docteh> CkhiKuzad: that gets messy really quick, what does 9.04 have over 10.04?
[22:28] <acerimmer> dirtydevil: http://files.fosswire.com/2008/04/ubunturef.pdf  save for reference
[22:28] <CkhiKuzad> i dont mean like dpkg-ing them. i mean like downloading them from the add/remove
[22:29] <Loshki> Slart: I use handbrake for flv files, as I find other programs often have trouble with them...
[22:29] <fiver22> Has anyone experienced items disappearing from the Notification Area (Sys Tray) in 10.04? Specifically, Transmission will often disappear, but continues to run. Thanks.
[22:29] <fluvvell> how do i actually add songs to my new iphone 3gs using linux ? I can create a playlist on it with rhythmbox but cant figure how to get the songs on. Duh!
[22:29] <dirtydevil> acerimmer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/439549/
[22:29] <trism> CkhiKuzad: they are both in the repo on 9.04 if that is what you mean
[22:29] <CkhiKuzad> and Docteh, nothing. i just cant get it installed. i cant configure grub2 to boot this usb, and my cd drive is broke
[22:29] <samc> folks .. having trouble mounting nfs shares - it seems rpc.statd doesn't start on boot.  I can't mount nfs shares unless I start it by hand -- any suggestions as to how I can make it start automagically?
[22:29] <Docteh> ah
[22:29] <samc> I've got NEED_STATD set to 'yes' in /etc/default/nfs-common
[22:30] <samc> However it doesn't seem to do the trick
[22:30] <rcmaehl> according to my calculators #ubuntu is no longer the most joined/parted channel in joins+parts\min
[22:30] <Loshki> CkhiKuzad: what about unetbootin's cd-less (frugal) install method?
[22:31] <acerimmer> dirtydevil: dependcies are incomplete.  you need the packages that are not installed.  either synaptic or terminal line "sudo apt-get install packagenamehere"
[22:31] <rcmaehl> #pokerth-lobby is
[22:31] <Docteh> samc: i guess throwing the mount command into /root/rc.local is a bit kludgey?
[22:31] <CkhiKuzad> Loshki: grub2 doesnt seem to support unetbootin
[22:31] <epinky> samc: what about /etc/fstab ?
[22:31] <Beyecixramd> rcmaehl: that could count as advertising :)
[22:31] <Docteh> CkhiKuzad: see if boot.kernel.org has the lucid installer
[22:31] <owenll> fluvvell: with Rhythmbox open and your iphone plugged in do you see your iphone's name in the left panel? If so you can grab songs and drag them
[22:31] <samc> Docteh, epinky: Sorry .. should have mentioned.  I don't want the shares to mount on boot, because I need to bring up the vpn first.  I've got the shares defined in fstab with 'noauto' set though
[22:31] <CkhiKuzad> ok, Docteh.
[22:31] <Loshki> rcmaehl: off-topic, and incredibly boring too...
[22:31] <rcmaehl> Beyecixramd: So could a lot of things
[22:32] <samc> But yeah .. it's not that the shares don't mount on boot, it's that rpc.statd doesn't start on boot
[22:32] <Docteh> oh
[22:32] <Docteh> can you run rpc.statd by itself?
[22:32] <dirtydevil> acerimmer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/439552/
[22:32]  * rcmaehl loves sudo apt-get moo
[22:32] <samc> Docteh: yeah, I can run rpc.statd from the command line, and after that the shares mount fine
[22:33] <samc> nothing in /etc/init.d/ refers to statd
[22:33] <Docteh> samc: so add rpc.statd to /etc/rc.local
[22:33] <dirtydevil> it is asking to run that command but which is also not working :(
[22:33] <blackratdog> how do you test a sha1 checksum?
[22:33] <samc> Docteh: yeah, getting to that point .. it feels like a dirty hack though
[22:33] <MatBoy> is there a way to download the packages for a dist-upgrade to /home instead of /tmp D?
[22:33] <samc> especially given that /etc/default/nfs-common seems to have an option to start statd
[22:33] <samc> I was hoping there was a "right" way to do it :D
[22:33] <fluvvell> owenll, drag the songs onto the iphone? nothing happens!
[22:34] <Docteh> true, you could do that and then file a bug, worse case the bug guys are all NOOB to you, but they'll still tell you the right way to do it
[22:34] <samc> Docteh: True that.  might head that way :)
[22:34] <samc> cheers
[22:34] <CkhiKuzad> Docteh, BKO doesnt have 10.04
[22:34] <Slart> hmw: ah.. it worked with mencoder
[22:34] <Docteh> dang
[22:34] <acerimmer> dirtydevil: ouch.  yeah, i've got the "will not be installed" error once or twice and i don't remember how I got around it.  Howzaboutthis; sudo apt-get purge mysql-cluster-client to remove all pieces.  Then use synaptic to reinstall.  If that doesn't work, don't know what else to try.  sorry.
[22:35] <exs> hi
[22:35] <hmw> Slart: are you going to elaborate on how? *smirks*
[22:35] <owenll> fluvvell: no progress in the bar on the bottom of rhythmbox - transferring songs? It can take time. What Ubuntu version - 10.04?
[22:35] <Slart> hmw: mencoder -vc null computerworld.flv -ovc copy -of rawaudio -oac mp3lame -o test.mp3     was the command line I used.. you can probably remove some of the stuff there but it's a start
[22:35] <acerimmer> !hi|exs
[22:35] <exs> i try to typeing :D
[22:35] <hmw> Slart: very cool, i will try at once
[22:35] <exs> i have a question.c can someone explain why my öäü are displayed wrong in centerim-utf8 on rxvt-unicode?
[22:36] <fluvvell> owenll, yes I've just upgraded directly from 8.04 - particularly to get iphone support.
[22:36] <dirtydevil> acerimmer: thats not a problem dude, i 'll try
[22:36] <BluesKaj> dirtydevil, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[22:36] <Slart> hmw: although it says that it's a mpeg adts.. whatever that is supposed to mean.. perhaps you can change that with some kind of switch
[22:37] <Docteh> CkhiKuzad: I'm going to try something and I'll get back to you in a min if it works or not
[22:37] <MatBoy> mhh upgrading ubuntu on a eeepc is difficult it seems
[22:38] <dirtydevil> BluesKaj: i tried it
[22:38] <BluesKaj> dirtydevil, what errors ?
[22:38] <dirtydevil> BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/439556/
[22:38] <epinky> MatBoy: netbook edition?
[22:39] <_blackwater_> Sky#
[22:39] <owenll> fluvvell: so it's listed under devices in rhythmbox? Can you browse your iphone by clicking on the icon on your desktop?
[22:40] <MatBoy> epinky: no normal 9.10... issue is that my 4GB ssd is full, so I need to download to my 8GB one for the upgrade, but how ?
[22:40] <fluvvell> ownell, no transferring songs indicator, nothing. Yes I can browse it: afc://fee91d{more hex chars}
[22:40] <BluesKaj> dirtydevil, open synaptic /edit/fix broken packages/apply
[22:41] <fluvvell> owenll, photos transfer off ok.
[22:41] <shane2peru> what is the npviewer.bin thing all about, it seems like every time I run top, npviewer.bin is running, or loaded, I kill it, and apparently no consequences???  npviewer???
[22:41] <mahe> bye
[22:42] <hmw> slart: i dont see the string "adts" in my output... what were you talking about?
[22:43] <Slart> hmw: if you run "file test.mp3"
[22:43] <fluvvell> owenll, some kind of write protect? or the music database too new?
[22:43] <exs> is there a solution for my charset problem?

[22:54] <DogoDave> Looking for help connecting to secured wireless networks, ndiswrapper appears to be working properly I have gone through the all variants trouble shooting thread at ubuntuforums.com,  I can connect to my router when I remove security on my router but if I add any type of security... network manager just times out and then prompts me for the password again.
[22:54] <webPragmatist> !hi | epinky
[22:54] <Slart> hmw: oh.. then it might not be a problem..
[22:55] <|corpse|> Docteh:  yeah the OS loads. right after you do the keyboard selection it runs a quick progress bar that says detecting pc devices then it just sits at a blue screen. then when i restart i get a menu that only alows me to do cd-rom detection options

[23:01] <TheGag96> I have a question.
[23:01] <TheGag96> I'm trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10
[23:02] <Docteh> |corpse|: installing server should JustWork(tm) :-/
[23:02] <rmorgan> im trying to chmod a file 777 but it fails saying operation not permitted (requested 0777: actual 0755 )
[23:02] <rmorgan> whats that about?
[23:02] <dan> badnaam: do you have a Fn key combo on yours to disable touchpad?
[23:02] <geller> try with sudo
[23:02] <rmorgan> geller i am as root
[23:02] <acerimmer> TheGag96: more info
[23:02] <geller> hows that then
[23:02] <|corpse|> Docteh: yep. right now i am actualy stuck on that progress bar. it says Detecting hardware to find CD-ROM drives. 0%
[23:02] <TheGag96> and I got it to work, except when I tried to also triple boot iDeneb (Hackintosh), I had to restore my bootloader, and so it's gone
[23:02] <badnaam> well thats another problem, my fn key combos on the laptop or on my wireless keyboard don't work
[23:03] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: nothing is working....when i run fsck, it warns me about severe filesystem damages that can be caused running on a mounted partition. neither swap nor home can be found. blkid shows swap(sda6) but not home(sda8)
[23:03] <TheGag96> I tried easyBCD, but it won't load
[23:03] <TheGag96> I tried uninstalling it,
[23:03] <dan> ah, sorry, don't know then
[23:03] <acerimmer> TheGag96: wait one i'll post a tutorial.
[23:03] <TheGag96> but It said it couldn't find a certain file.
[23:03] <TheGag96> I had used the Wubi installer
[23:03] <geller> my system just overheats and powers down previously had to add noapic and nolapic to grub
[23:04] <bugs_bugger> wise_crypt: sda7, my usual root partition is mounted successfully thus jsut typing fsck tries to check sda7
[23:04] <TheGag96> acerimmer, this isn't too general
[23:04] <TheGag96> It's a bit more specific
[23:04] <badnaam> is there supposed to be a function key to do that?
[23:04] <acerimmer> TheGag96: I know.  my tutuorial shows how I did it, but I didn't wubi install.
[23:04] <TheGag96> okay.

[23:08] <cybrocop> Hi all, how can I modify grub2 on lucid. I just need a kernel option and I'm at a loss. I've read a variety of documentation but I guess I need more confirmation.
[23:08] <badnaam> folks, any ideas? Please help. this is driving me nuts
[23:08] <dan> geller: is this a laptop overheating?
[23:08] <cybrocop> I want to add the option   apparmor=0 to the kernel... which file should I edit
[23:08] <geller> yes
[23:08] <dan> have you cleaned the dust out of it?
[23:08] <geller> nope,but never needed it
[23:09] <luap> I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help me with an issue installing RAID with a clean install, but the system does not boot properly
[23:09] <rmorgan> dont know what happened there
[23:09] <|corpse|> Docteh: thanks man, ill try it out
[23:09] <geller> i used 9.04 till today
[23:09] <CaptainTrek> geller: start by cleanin the dust
[23:09] <rmorgan> im trying to chmod a file 777 but it fails saying operation not permitted (requested 0777: actual 0755 )
[23:09] <CaptainTrek> geller: my system runs hot on 10.04 too
[23:09] <rmorgan> also when i ll -lsh filename >> textdoc it says file does not exist
[23:09] <geller> it overheats instantly if i dont add noapic
[23:09] <CaptainTrek> geller: use CPU scaling to scale back CPU speeds, it will help your heat issue
[23:09] <dan> you might this time - get a can of compressed air, blow in the air outlet, usually in the back - dust will come out by the fan on bottom
[23:10] <CaptainTrek> darn, i'm running at 75C now xD
[23:10] <rmorgan> as root
[23:10] <TheGag96> acerimmer: What can I do here?
[23:10] <TheGag96> Should I try the disk
[23:10] <geller> thanks
[23:10] <michelle_> sebsebseb
[23:10] <dan> might also take vacuum cleaner hose to fan inlet
[23:10] <geller> but it is a kernel problem
[23:10] <jefferai> Does anyone know how you can add multiple dummy network interfaces? Loading the dummy module provides a dummy0, but I know that (supposedly) you can have e.g. dummy1, dummy2, etc.
[23:10] <dan> well, might be both kernel and dust
[23:11] <dan> you'd be amazed how much they collect
[23:11] <dan> looks like  a layer of felt
[23:11] <geller> ok , i did it with previous machines
[23:12] <michelle_> can some one help me with mandriva one
[23:12] <michelle_> ?
[23:12] <dan> I use a piece of one of those laundry dryer sheets, masking tape it around the fan inlet to filter air, change maybe every couple months
[23:12] <dan> works extremely well
[23:12] <luap> anyone who might be able to assist with installing RAID on 10.04 during a clean install -- the system does not boot after install

[23:14] <badnaam> where is the touchpad button?
[23:15] <geller> blue button with the picture of the touchpad and a finger
[23:15] <dan> well, most machines you need to disassemble, which can get messy - some Dells have an access panel to the heat sink on bottom - I'd probably recommend you don't try unless you're very comfortable disassembling laptops
[23:15] <geller> on mine f7 plus fn combo
[23:15] <badnaam> i don't think I have it on my hp60-533cl notebook
[23:16] <dan> and you'd need a tube of thermal compound, Arctic Silver 5 is my favorite
[23:16] <geller> you shoulda
[23:16] <geller> i dont think that i can afford one
[23:16] <hanlin> does anyone here use an onscreen keyboard?
[23:16] <geller> and it worked till yesterday
[23:17] <RyanP> Is there a way to have Ubuntu (Lucid) mute the speakers when I plug headphones in? I have an onboard NVidia sound card.
[23:17] <codyzapp> when i load something in firefox now, the screen turns grey in the middle of being on the net, i remember there was a fix to this but i forget what... any help would be appreciated!
[23:17] <dan> weird, hope you figure it out, geller
[23:17] <geller> i just dont understand why 2.6.31 and 32 is so different
[23:18] <geller> thank you dan ill try to clean it
[23:18] <dan> only way to know whether it's a kernel problem or weird coincidence would be to go back to the old, not sure how that's done, though
[23:18] <luap> looking for help with installing RAID 1 via a clean install -- computer won't boot properly after finishing install
[23:19] <badnaam> geller: found it, its actually a dedicated button turned it off, doesn't do anything
[23:19] <geller> there is a daemon then
[23:19] <geller> i am not sure its name
[23:19] <badnaam> I am a nood, silly question, what does turning touchpad off do? it doesn't stop the mouse from moving does it?
[23:19] <geller> it does
[23:20] <acerimmer_> badnaam: yes it does
[23:20] <bezdomni> You're a nood? Put some clothes on! :P
[23:20] <badnaam> :)..noob i meant
[23:20] <badnaam> well so I turned it off as the manual suggests, but I can still use the mouse
[23:20] <badnaam> so it's not getting turned off is it?
[23:20] <geller> its not
[23:20] <badnaam> what I want is for it to not be active when I am typing, so that my mouse cursor doesn't fly all over the place
[23:20] <geller> it has to be some combo
[23:21] <badnaam> well the manual says it's the key just above the touchpad
[23:21] <acerimmer_> badnaam: you can reset the sensitivity of your pad
[23:21] <bezdomni> badnaam: There should be a setting for that under preferences -> mouse or preferences -> touchpad
[23:21] <bezdomni> one of the two
[23:21] <ym> hi all! is there any way i can increase the speed of switching my KVM to Ubuntu? In 9.10 it was faster, but in 10.04 it takes about 10 seconds until the USB keyboard/mouse are recognized
[23:21] <acerimmer_> System>Preferences>Mouse>Touchpad
[23:21] <dan> badnaam:  looked at HP site, shows a spot on upper left of touchpad  - supposed to be an on/off button
[23:22] <bezdomni> there we go! acerimmer knows where it's at badnaam! :)
[23:22] <ym> maybe some kind of setting involving how often usb ports are scanned for new devices?
[23:22] <acerimmer_> ;)
[23:22] <badnaam> no sensitivity setting, it only has turn touchpad off while typing (on) and enable mouseclick with touchpad(on), scrolling (disabled)
[23:23] <badnaam> dan: yes, that's the button that is turned off, but that doesn't seem to work, touchpad is still on and I can move the mouse
[23:23] <dan> ah, ok - I think it uses Windows Synaptics drivers then, might be a way to install those in Ubuntu, not sure
[23:24] <dan> I'm a linux noober
[23:24] <hanlin> has anyone gotten onboard (on-screen keyboard program) to work?
[23:25] <badnaam> how can i check what synaptics drivers do I have
[23:25] <dan> not sure Ubuntu uses any
[23:25] <calibre> How do you run the task manager?
[23:26] <geller> sytem admin
[23:26] <geller> task manager
[23:26] <epinky> hanlin: like Universal Access Preferences at login time?
[23:26] <dan> google showed lots of Synaptics/Ubuntu threads, I'd start there
[23:27] <hanlin> epinky: i have a tablet, and need to use the onscreen keyboard sometimes
[23:27] <badnaam> ok, I will. Thanks for your help!
[23:27] <hanlin> but onboard steals focus away and prevents entering letters into the text field
[23:27] <dan> sure, good luck!
[23:28] <dan> anyone familiar with "instant suspend/standby" problem when booting up 10.04?
[23:28] <dan> goes straight into standby when desktop appears
[23:29] <Docolero_> dan, did you try to deactivate standby settings in power management and test?
[23:30] <ogen> I have a POS computer (amd 9.10) and I have a 10.04 image on a flash drive. Is it good? I just bunted a livecd from it. booted: got a litle man and a piece of film image at the bottom of the screen, then a black screen with a flashing horiz cursor. (Can I assume bad disk? How can I check flash-image or disk image?)
[23:30] <dan> yep, tried that - no help
[23:30] <eddy> helo
[23:30] <acerimmer_> !checksum|ogen
[23:30] <ogen> I am NOT IN WINDOWS.
[23:31] <eddy> im linux
[23:31] <fluvvell> ownell, that wasn't actually a solution as theres no link to SID
[23:31] <ogen> checking link
[23:31] <epinky> hanlin: well, I know one has to enable etart on-screen keyboard at log in
[23:31] <epinky> start*
[23:31] <riz0n> Hi, I have an Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS, and am wondering if its possible to upgrade to the new LTS without having to format and start over fresh??
[23:32] <f0g> Question: When I boot up my new Ubuntu 10 LTS install, it frequently drops to initrd complaining about not being able to find the root device /dev/sda1... but then I can mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt.
[23:32] <f0g> Any ideas?
[23:32] <acerimmer_> riz0n: yes.  LTS to LTS is direct upgradeable
[23:32] <f0g> I get the feeling that it's just taking a long time for the device to settle, or something....
[23:32] <riz0n> acerimmer_: What would be the best way to get the server to take the upgrade?
[23:32] <hiexpo> type in terminal md5sum "filename.iso"
[23:33] <Vadro> ahhh
[23:33] <f0g> Does that seem reasonable? If so, is there a way to get grub to wait longer before switching to initrd?
[23:33] <acerimmer_> riz0n: i'm on desktop.  Ask the board for help with specifics
[23:33] <fx> anyway fancy helping me figuring out why samba writes at ~60MB/s but reads at 400kB/s ?
[23:33] <fx> anyone *
[23:34] <Docolero_> dan, did you check the pm.logs via the System Log Viewer?
[23:34] <f0g> fx: Asynchronous probably.
[23:35] <ogen> acerimmer_, "First open a terminal and go to the correct directory to check a downloaded iso file:     cd download_directory    " ----> OK terminal says     No such file or directory"   (I tried it with a leading slash too.)
[23:35] <f0g> Are you seeing it at 60MB/s at the receiving end, or just at the sending end?
[23:35] <fx> f0g, mount is on the same machine as the server. Are you hinting at a configuration option?
[23:35] <CaptainTrek> ogen: it means where you downloaded to
[23:35] <CaptainTrek> not the folder named "download_directory"
[23:35] <exarkun> virt-manager is confusing.  It lists several vms that I don't think actually exist.  And if I try to start them, they won't start.  But I can't figure out how to get rid of them, or where their configuration is stored.
[23:35] <f0g> fx: Wait, you're transferring files within the same server using SMB?
[23:35] <acerimmer_> ogen: search for *.iso in your /home
[23:35] <acerimmer_> riz0n: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[23:36] <fx> f0g, the i mounted a share on the same server that has smbd yes
[23:36] <exarkun> So my question is something like "how do I figure out how to use virt-manager?"
[23:36] <fx> and read from this share is slow, but write to it is fast (capped by capability of the disk), f0g
[23:36] <Docteh> exarkun: whats virt manager for? xen?
[23:37] <epinky> exarkun: maybe reading a Xen Book?
[23:37] <exarkun> No, nothing to do with xen.
[23:37] <MaMoUs> when i close pidgin (to minimize it to try) it quit
[23:37] <exarkun> I happen to be using the qemu/kvm driver
[23:37] <ogen> acer (OK).  Opps, was searching for download_directory in /
[23:37] <f0g> fx: Why are you using smb within the same computer?
[23:37] <exarkun> But part of virt-manager's job is to abstract the actual virtualization system away from you
[23:37] <exarkun> It has all of its own configuration and such
[23:37] <fx> exarkun, you should check out virsh
[23:37] <fx> f0g, yes
[23:37] <f0g> That's a major performance hit, and I can't think of any valid reason for doing it.
[23:37] <acerimmer_> ogen: Places>Search for files>Name Contains *.iso>Look in folder /your home folder
[23:37] <exarkun> fx: I've been trying to use virsh, yea, but I can't get it to do what I want.
[23:38] <visof> hello
[23:38] <ogen> acerimmer_,  I found the bittorrent seed file only
[23:38] <Rolcol> hi
[23:38] <kklimonda> ok, what can I do about "couchdb.client.ServerError: (400, '')" error when launching gwibber other than restarting computer?
[23:38] <acerimmer_> !hi|visof
[23:38] <Docteh> !gdm-theme
[23:38] <exarkun> Like I try 'create' and it spews an xml error at me, even though I just pointed it at once of the existing xml config files I have.
[23:38] <IBeSomeone> Hey, for anyone who can: My screen decided to bug out, and now all of the panel applets are not in their correct places. I tried rebooting, and it didn't do anything. I cannot change the locations of the applets, as middle clicking and alt-clicking do not move them, and right clicking does not yield any option such as "lock applet" or "move applet" or anything of the sort, only "about" and "help". Does anyone know how to fi
[23:38] <IBeSomeone> x this? Thank you in advance
[23:38] <fx> f0g, i need to see the max speed that the smb will throughput, of course i wont leave it like that, My goal is to share the share to virtual machines on the same network
[23:38] <acerimmer_> ogen: then you have not downloaded the iso yet
[23:38] <exarkun> I'd like a user manual for libvirt/virt-manager, but I haven't been able to find one.
[23:39] <f0g> fx: All linux machines?
[23:39] <fx> f0g, all linux machines yes.
[23:39] <visof>  i installed rxvt-unicode and i can't find the program icon anywhere , so i try to create a launcher then move it in the above bar , after reboot it's disappeared , how can i fix that ?
[23:39] <owner> hi all
[23:39] <exarkun> It seems largely undocumented, which is sad, because it's a cool idea.  But I was hoping I had overlooked something that someone knew about.
[23:39] <f0g> I'd recommend trying nfs rather than smb.
[23:39] <ogen> acerimmer_, yes I have. The torrent didnt work so I directly downloaded it. But isnt the md5 porgram in 9,10 as well or only in 10.04 ?
[23:40] <fx> f0g, i was fearing that you would say that... tried NFS, in fact have been using it. But as soon as i copy large amount of data it locks up the client. like seriously, reboot required
[23:40] <acerimmer_> ogen: md5 is for any *iso.  But if your search can't find the iso, where is it?
[23:40] <f0g> But even so, depending on the way that the server is written, performance within the same server will not be representative of real-world situations with network congestion, different disk speeds, etc.
[23:40] <ogen> acerimmer_, the iso is not in home. I thought I was looking for the md5sum on linux to run that program
[23:40] <f0g> Even if you prefer samba - which is a little bit more complicated but not the end of the world - you're going to need a second machine to performance test it properly.
[23:41] <ogen> acerimmer_, I know where the iso is. as I should have said, it is on the flash drive
[23:41] <acerimmer_> ogen: *NOW he tells me* :)
[23:41] <affert> \quit
[23:41] <ogen> I have a POS computer (amd 9.10) and I have a 10.04 image on a flash drive. Is it good? I just bunted a livecd from it. booted: got a litle man and a piece of film image at the bottom of the screen, then a black screen with a flashing horiz cursor. (Can I assume bad disk? How can I check flash-image or disk image?)
[23:41] <acerimmer_> ogen: ok, insert usb, then use the md5checksum thingie i sent you
[23:41] <ogen> sorry
[23:42] <fx> f0g, i would like to try improve samba this time. I have a second machine, in fact i have about 5 virtualised, which is where i want faster network performance. on network attached machines i get about 1.5MB/s which is fine for me
[23:42] <Atreus> I've just tried to dualboot 10.04 with fedora 13.  i reinstalled grub 2 (as usung legacy grub was decidedly not working) and ran update-grub.  now, does that automatically add fedora to grub2?
[23:42] <Cyber-Dogg> what would you guys recommend to do partitioning in ubuntu with GPT?
[23:42] <f0g> fx: So, I'm sorry... what?
[23:42] <fx> f0g, i know samba has thouse god-awful options that you can tweek it with. Like voodoo magic, but im willing to have a go, since at least it wont lock up anything
[23:42] <fluvvell> What is the SID repository, is it someones launchpad user ?
[23:42] <acerimmer_> Cyber-Dogg: gptsync
[23:43] <arooni-mobile> uh oh.  just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and am getting a screen that syas "the disk drive for /vol is not ready yet or not present.  continue to wait or press s to skp mounting or m for manual recovery
[23:43] <acerimmer_> Cyber-Dogg: for hackintosh??
[23:43] <ogen> you sent me a webpage acerimmer_  and I was trying to follow the instructions on the webpage to FIND the md5sum program to run. ((I have done all of these things before in windows, in which the webpage links me to a place to download the md5sum program. So I know the steps, just have to find the LINUX md5sum program to run. Right?)
[23:43] <Cyber-Dogg> no...
[23:43] <Cyber-Dogg> I guess it doesn't have to be GPT really
[23:43] <f0g> Oh. Well, check with the samba channel. If you're looking for samba specific fixes, they probably know better than us. :)
[23:43] <acerimmer_> ogen: wait 1
[23:43] <Cyber-Dogg> I have a 500GB drive I need to partition
[23:44] <fx> f0g, sorry, its been a long day. Do you think you could help me please with the slow read problem?
[23:44] <f0g> I'm not much of a smb expert.  Check with #samba - they are. :)
[23:44] <Cyber-Dogg> but I think I'd like more than 4 parts
[23:44] <fx> f0g, thanks
[23:44] <acerimmer_> ogen: private - click on my name
[23:44] <f0g> Question: When I boot up my new Ubuntu 10 LTS install, it frequently drops to initrd complaining about not being able to find the root device /dev/sda1... but then I can mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt a moment later from the busybox shell.  Any ideas?
[23:47] <Scunizi> f0g: could be a bad uuid identification in fstab or might be if you have more than 1 drive and what's know logically as sda1 is physically plugged into the motherboard in what might be considered sdb1
[23:48] <f0g> Scunizi: I turned off uuid identification in grub. That was my first thought.
[23:48] <f0g> Scunizi: How would I find out if the latter is the case?
[23:49] <blue_anna> I gave up on my af9015 card, I've started a second time on a tv card that uses the em28xx drivers -- both drivers have built, but neither attach to their card when it is installed
[23:49] <SumthingDarkside> Hey, the panel object popup menu on my computer will only show "help" and "about", but nothing else, no matter what I click. Any idea how to fix this?
[23:49] <Scunizi> f0g: that may be part of it.. fstab is setup on install to use uuid.. as for the latter.. you'd have to physically look at your drives in the machine and identify them and what location they are plugged into.. personally I'd reenable uuid in grub.. it help avoid these types of problems.
[23:50] <Heffe> I smell UBUNTU
[23:52] <t3chkommie> hey guys need some help getting my server to connect with wifi
[23:52] <t3chkommie> anyone know of a good tutorial?
[23:52] <ubukou> hello everyone!
[23:53] <AdotB> hi
[23:53] <ubukou> Im having a problem gaining permanent premision to an external hard drive..
[23:53] <ubukou> any ideas?
[23:53] <Scunizi> t3chkommie: servers don't typically connect that way so they are not setup just after install to do it.. there is an extra package in the repo's that mirrors your kernel version that has "wireless" in the name.. get that and install.. hopefully you have a compatable wireless chipset
[23:53] <mneptok> ubukou: where is the drive mounted?
[23:53] <f0g> Scunizi: And then check fstab to see if there's something screwed up?
[23:54] <ubukou> e-sata
[23:54] <mneptok> ubukou: not how. where.
[23:54] <ubukou> ahh
[23:54] <Scunizi> f0g: yep..  sudo blkid will help verify the uuid's that are in there.
[23:54] <mneptok> ubukou: df -h will tell you
[23:54] <t3chkommie> Scunizi, thanks for the info do you know the name of the package?
[23:54] <ubukou> not sure what you mean
[23:54] <mneptok> ubukou: and what is the format of the partition you are trying to access?
[23:54] <ubukou> sdc
[23:54] <t3chkommie> Scunizi, my server is too loud, and i dont have a cable that will stretch far enought :S
[23:54] <ubukou> if that what you mean
[23:54] <mneptok> ubukou: sdc1? sdc2?
[23:55] <Scunizi> t3chkommie: nope.. look at the different kernel images.. the name will be almost the same but with "wireless" in it as well.
[23:55] <blue_anna> and I have the latest hardware -- but there's scant little, virutally no results for em28xx support. these are both dvb drivers
[23:55] <f0g> Scunizi: Thanks. Will return in a minute or two either joyful or crying and despairing. ;)
[23:55] <t3chkommie> ok
[23:55] <ubukou> just sdc
[23:55] <Scunizi> t3chkommie: move the server temporarily to get the package :)
[23:55] <mneptok> ubukou: sdc is a device, not a partition
[23:55] <ubukou> it is a fat32 partition
[23:55] <|green|> i have sound problems with jaunty
[23:55] <mneptok> ubukou: type "df -h" (no quotes) in a terminal and tell me the mount point of the drive. should be something in /media
[23:56] <|green|> even htough i have downloaded all extentions
[23:56] <Scunizi> |green|: jaunty isn't supported anymore
[23:56] <t3chkommie> Scunizi, ya its ready to go, i just dont know how to get my usb dongle working from CLU

[23:56] <|green|> there is no sound
[23:56] <SumthingDarkside> Any help would be appreciated, please and thank you

[23:57] <ubukou> repeat is not alowed.. just noticed
[23:57] <mneptok> ubukou: what is your Ubuntu user name?
[23:57] <ubukou> go figure.
[23:57] <acerimmer_> Cyber-Dogg
[23:57] <ubukou> without the .
[23:57] <mneptok> ubukou: user names cannot have spaces
[23:57] <Mot> How many mensans do we have here?
[23:58] <mneptok> ubukou: type "whoami" (no quotes) in a terminal
[23:58] <dan> g'day to all, gonna try upgrade through update mgr - wish me luck
[23:58] <ubukou> i know my username man
[23:58] <Atreus> might as well ask another question: sor some odd reason, every time i boot into 10.04 i have to run "sudo dhclient eth0" for my interenet connection to work.  is there any way to fix this?  alternatively, is there any way to automatically do this at startup?
[23:58] <mneptok> ubukou: so, what is it?
[23:58] <ubukou> question is wheather you want to help.
[23:58] <dj_segfault> badnaam: what I do is "rmmod psmouse"  but your touchpad may be a different module
[23:59] <f0g> Scunizi: I got it to come up, but it is screaming about not being enable to enumerate USB devices on port one.
[23:59] <mneptok> ubukou: i was helping. now i'm not. good luck with your attitude, and your permissions problem. bye.
[23:59] <ubukou> i dont like to be asked what is my username like that
[23:59] <Alex009> Guys i got a problem with a Qmail server, someone knows anything about this?
[23:59] <blue_anna> I gave up on my af9015 card, I've started a second time on a tv card that uses the em28xx drivers -- both drivers have built, but neither attach to their card when it is installed
[23:59] <blue_anna> and I have the latest hardware -- but there's scant little, virutally no results for em28xx support. these are both dvb drivers
[23:59] <ubukou> im not that good with linux
[23:59] <f0g> Aaaaaand now it's back down.
[23:59] <f0g> Lovely.
[23:59] <ubukou> just worried.
[23:59] <Scunizi> f0g: this is a usb drive?
