[00:39] <CtrlAlt> can a icon of the main menu change depending on the theme that is being used?
[00:44] <Chesamo> CtrlAlt: Yes
[00:48] <CtrlAlt> thx,;lookit's icon is always black
[00:49] <Chesamo> CtrlAlt: Typo?
[00:50] <CtrlAlt> only the comma :P
[00:51] <CtrlAlt> https://launchpad.net/lookit
[00:52] <Chesamo> CtrlAlt: Not everything changes. Usually things like GEdit, Synaptic, etc. change. Rarely do additional packages have extra icon sets.
[00:54] <CtrlAlt> so I should let it be?
[00:55] <CtrlAlt> i always had the "take screenshot" icon on the panel, and this is waaay better :)
[00:55] <Chesamo> CtrlAlt: Yes, unless you want to create your own icon. You can manually edit each Launcher and override its settings.
[00:56] <CtrlAlt> yeah i've already done that
[00:56] <CtrlAlt> it's ok :)
[00:57] <CtrlAlt> it has a bright ico which is used on the panel with dark themes, so i just changed it on the menu
[00:57] <CtrlAlt> *icon
[02:21] <paultag> hey duanedesign
[02:21] <paultag> duanedesign, sorry, let's take this to team
[05:58] <Chinta> Hi everyone, problem: I connect to internet via a router but for some reason I can only connect to the router with a wired connection, wireless fails to connect. I just moved to a different apartment, in the old one the wireless connection to the same router worked fine but using a different modem. Can anyone help me? I have no idea where to start from.
[05:59] <ddecator> so it sees the network i'm guessing?
[06:01] <Chinta> Ahmm... I can see the router's name, and it tries to connect (green balls spinning), but it just fails, if thats what you ask
[06:01] <PureEvil> hi
[06:02] <ddecator> Chinta: strange. is there a password for the network?
[06:04] <Chinta> I reset the router in case it was a router's password's issue. There shouldnt be any.
[06:04] <PureEvil> any here know how to fix some problems I'm having running dual monitors on a ATI graphic gard?
[06:04] <PureEvil> Card*
[06:04] <ddecator> PureEvil: sorry, not something i'm familiar with, hopefully someone else can help you out
[06:05] <PureEvil> yeah nobody seems to have a answer lol
[06:05] <PureEvil> ATI dont even have drivers that work on 10.04
[06:06] <ddecator> Chinta: try right-clicking the network manager applet, select edit connections, and if you see yours listed in the wireless area selecting it, click edit, then check the box to connect automatically
[06:06] <ddecator> PureEvil: yah, that's the toughest part...
[06:06] <PureEvil> well the only other problem I'm having is with the game uplink lol
[06:08] <PureEvil> for the record the problem I'm having is that the DCI monitor wants to refresh the screen alot, anytime there are high graphic items...Flash, You Tube, Screen Saver, some pics.
[06:10] <Chinta> ddecator: is there a command to try to connect to the router so that I can see what the problem is? (I cant see the wireless networks now that Im wired to the router)
[06:11] <ddecator> Chinta: there isn't really a simple one that i know of
[06:12] <Chinta> Uhmmm, so you think I should disconnect and make sure that the "connect automatically" box is ticked?
[06:15] <ddecator> well you can check that while on a wired connection
[06:15] <Chinta> uhmmm... how?
[06:15] <ddecator> right-click the network manager applet (the arrows if you're using the lucid default) and select "Edit Connections"
[06:15] <PureEvil> my labtop works wireless but not wired lol
[06:16] <PureEvil> I just gave up on that one
[06:16] <ddecator> then find the Wireless sections and see if the network you want to connect to is listed
[06:17] <Chinta> Oh, I see now, thanks. In fact, it is listed several times. Can that be a problem?
[06:18] <PureEvil> do other people near you have wifi routers lol
[06:18] <ddecator> shouldn't be, but you might as well reduce it to one
[06:19] <Chinta> Ok, I will delete all the entries of my router. And yes, there are neighbors around with routers.
[06:20] <PureEvil> I know in my apartment there are like 4 connections that say linksys lol
[06:22] <Chinta> Actually most neighbors have a similar internet connection because high-speed Internet is included in the rent (Finland freaks). Sadly, tech support doesnt support Linux and I refuse to go back to Windows.
[06:24] <Chinta> By the way, is it possible to connect to the same router twice, one using a cable and another one using the wireless?
[06:25] <ddecator> simultaneously, not that i know of
[06:26] <Chinta> Oh, then Im a shameless newbie. I must disconnect the cable and thus from Internet before I can see if I can connect to the router.
[06:27] <Chinta> Ill be back.
[15:06] <mohi2911> hobgoblin: ping
[15:11] <hobgoblin> hi mohi2911 - back in a while
[15:27] <NongA_TongE> greetings.... I'm really hoping that someone can help a little...  LAst night I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 via update manager, and now my wifi is broke.  The information on the forums was sadly inconclusive providing no workable solution that I could find.  Could anyone here point me in the right direction?
[15:28] <NongA_TongE> I should clarify that this upgrade was just an interrim upgrade so that I can then upgrade to 10/04 lts
[15:28] <NongA_TongE> 10.04LTS
[16:23] <NongA_TongE> hello?
[16:24] <hobgoblin> hellp
[16:24] <hobgoblin> and even hello
[16:24] <NongA_TongE> greetings.... I'm really hoping that someone can help a little...  LAst night I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 via update manager, and now my wifi is broke.  The information on the forums was sadly inconclusive providing no workable solution that I could find.  Could anyone here point me in the right direction?
[16:26] <hobgoblin> possibly - some more information will help, what wifi is it? if you are not sure - open a terminal and do lspci - paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com - put a name - enter and give us the new url
[16:27] <NongA_TongE> Broadcom
[16:29] <NongA_TongE> http://paste.ubuntu.com/439941/
[16:35] <hobgoblin> NongA_TongE: have you been here - solved thread with lot's of positives http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309760
[16:35] <hobgoblin> wireless is unfortunately not something I've had much dealing with
[16:40] <NongA_TongE> hobgoblin,  thanks for the help.  I don't know why that thread didn't come up in my initial search.  there are about 5 other threads related to lost wifi with the 9.10 upgrade, and none offers nearly enough help.
[16:40] <hobgoblin> cool - well I hope it helps you
[16:40] <hobgoblin> it was actually my first result I think
[16:42] <hobgoblin> NongA_TongE: if you've not heard of googlbuntu it's not bad as a search engine
[16:45] <Akos> it's googleubuntu :P
[16:45] <Akos> at least http://googleubuntu.com exists (:
[16:49] <hobgoblin> Akos: yea :) always get that wrong - mostly because it was my second choice - my first choice appears to have died :(
[16:49] <Akos> :P
[16:49] <Akos> it's totally okay :P
[16:49] <hobgoblin> oh good :)
[16:50] <mohi2911> hobgoblin: HELP
[16:50] <hobgoblin> perhaps
[16:50] <hobgoblin> what's up mohi2911
[16:51] <mohi2911> i wrongly formatted one of my partitions and i lost everything in it :(
[16:51] <Akos> auch
[16:51] <mohi2911> is there any way to recover em?? :(
[16:51] <Chesamo> mohi2911: sudo unformat --please :P
[16:52] <hobgoblin> mohi2911: stop accessing reboot with a livecd and hope you can get the info back with testdisk
[16:52] <hobgoblin> all the time you are accessing it you can make the situation worse
[16:52] <mohi2911> ok
[16:52] <mohi2911> brb
[16:53] <hobgoblin> measure twice cut once  - works all the time ;)
[17:06] <uRock> You have a voice! Speak now or forever hold your piece!
[17:55] <Mindgamer> hi. i have trouble configuring ubuntu (9.10) to mount my RAID1 at boot correctly so that it is also shared out as a Samba share. somewhy permissions or something gets messed up so that when accessing the share over the network, i don not have adequate persmissions. can someone please point me in the right direction to solve this
[17:59] <holstein> Mindgamer: can you access the windows box from the linux box?
[17:59] <holstein> you want to pastebin your samba config file?
[17:59] <holstein> are you sure the user/pass matches?
[18:00] <Mindgamer> no.. actually i am sitting behing the windows box and remote to the linux box.. working over VNC. I do have physical access to the linux box but it has no keyboard nor screen
[18:01] <holstein> i used a GUI once too
[18:01] <holstein> samba share manager or something like that
[18:01]  * holstein stopped using samba not too long ago
[18:05] <Mindgamer> samba conf i think: http://pastebin.com/jpY8c2xm
[18:05] <Mindgamer> i think there shouldnt be a user/pass mismatch.. i think i disabled guest access.. and if there was a user mismatch i shouldnt have access at all? but i have read access
[18:06] <holstein> cool
[18:06] <holstein> thats something
[18:06] <holstein> is this going to be outside your firewall?
[18:06] <Mindgamer> yes, i have samba share manager or alike installed, but it does not detect my RAID1-LVM ... only the low level partitions
[18:06] <holstein> if its just at your house
[18:06] <Mindgamer> no - inside firewall
[18:06] <holstein> you can try just easing up on the security
[18:07] <holstein> until it works
[18:07] <holstein> and i forget the resart command
[18:07] <Mindgamer> true, but i have to make it work correctly in the end .. i want to make the share also accessible over sftp
[18:07] <holstein> but you want to restart samba after chagnes
[18:07] <Mindgamer> through a tunnel or something
[18:08] <holstein> i dont see anything leaping off the page there in that .conf
[18:08] <Mindgamer> ok, but i dont really know how to lax the security.. just try to enable guest access?
[18:08] <holstein> Mindgamer: you could try that
[18:09] <holstein> temporarily
[18:11] <Mindgamer> holstein: should i use user/share/server authentication mode?
[18:11] <Mindgamer> i do not know the difference
[18:11] <Mindgamer> looking at samba server settings atm
[18:14] <Chesamo> holstein: sftp isn't run through samba
[18:14] <holstein> ??
[18:14] <Chesamo> I mean uh,
[18:14] <Chesamo> Mindgamer
[18:14] <holstein> Chesamo: i didnt mean to imply that
[18:15] <holstein> Chesamo: OH
[18:15] <Chesamo> Sorry, I misread the lines
[18:15] <holstein> gotcha :)
[18:15] <Mindgamer> Chesamo: yeah i know.. in any case i want to expose the box later to the internet, so i would like to get the security right
[18:15] <holstein> Mindgamer: your reading /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html ?
[18:16] <holstein> to be honest, last time i did a samba config, it was for a printer, and there was a burnt sacrifice offered ;)
[18:16] <Chesamo> Mindgamer: I use SFTP usually (much easier to set up than FTP imho) and clients like FileZilla can natively access the server without Samba
[18:17] <Mindgamer> Chesamo: thanks, i will keep that in mind
[18:45] <Mindgamer> i am going nuts here. When i add the share manually through gnome, everything works... after i restart.. the share is available from windows. however - through gnome it is no longer possible to modify share settings... i have no obvious way of stopping sharing files...
[18:47] <holstein> why do you want to stop sharing?
[18:47] <holstein> from the server side?
[18:48] <Mindgamer> i want to rename the share.. and i want to understand how to set the share up so that only i can access it, not everyone in the workgroup...
[18:48] <Mindgamer> and i want to see my current settings for a particular share.. i have no way of seeing them..
[18:50] <Mindgamer> sigh, perhaps i should just be happy it works for now and waith for ubuntu 15.04?
[18:52] <Mindgamer> rebooting both systems to see if i then still have access.. thanks for the support holstein :) later
[22:07] <Darkness_> Is there any way to get rid of the popup that occurs when you press the Sound keys on a keyboard?
[22:09] <holstein> good question
[22:09] <Darkness_> I don't suppose that there's an answer?
[22:09] <holstein> Darkness_: do you want to get rid of only that one nitification?
[22:10] <Darkness_> Yes.
[22:10] <holstein> notification*
[22:10] <holstein> hmmm
[22:13] <Darkness_> I'll be back in a bit.
[22:13] <Darkness_> Tell me if you have an answer.
[22:45] <Zoran_> hallo?
[23:02] <lukjad86> Zoran_ Hi
[23:03] <lukjad86> Zoran_ Can we help you?
[23:04] <Zoran_> oh, hi, yes, maybe
[23:06] <Zoran_> I thought this chat was not working, so Ii have just posted in ubuntu forums
[23:07] <Chesamo> Zoran_: Link to the thread?
[23:07] <lukjad86> Zoran_ Oh, it's just that a lot of us are away from the keyboard for a while
[23:07] <Zoran_> that's ok, I am anyhow just unpationt, not really in a hurry :)
[23:22] <kermiac> hey people :) I was just asked a weird question that hopefully somone knows the answer to. What dows the small keyboard and the human figure at the boot splash mean? -- http://is.gd/cqwqD
[23:22] <Chesamo> The keyboard changes the keyboard layout
[23:23] <Chesamo> and the human is the accessibility options (if you have them installed)
[23:24] <kermiac> ok. that's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure as it was on the bootsplash. Thanks Chesamo :)
[23:24] <Chesamo> You're welcome.
[23:25] <lukjad86> stlsaint !
