[00:00] <kbar> randal, get the files that you need and then follow the instructions. ITs for another boot sequence but you do the same things basically
[00:00] <dawiisss> xD
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> dawiisss: glad you got the gold though :)
[00:00] <s3a> trism: o sorry it's hard to see in chatzilla. ok so in previous version it was flashplugin-nonfree like debian, right?
[00:00] <dawiisss> You know before I msged here I was trying to fix it for 2 hours
[00:00] <onetinsoldier> hehe
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> dawiisss: its a massive weakness in package based systems
[00:01] <dawiisss> ye
[00:01] <kbar> dawiisss, what was the problem?
[00:02] <dawiisss> I couldn't remove flashplugin-nonfree package
[00:02] <randal> kbar thanks ive been looking everywhere for this and eventrully gave up
[00:02] <kbar> randal, do you ahve the files for the boot sequence?
[00:02] <dawiisss> Thanks a lot to all of you I need to go bye
[00:02] <trism> s3a: exactly, they renamed it in jaunty to flashplugin-installer
[00:03] <randal> kbar but if i can use any i would rather go to gnomelook and find a custom one
[00:03] <kbar> right randal. Good luck!
[00:04] <venom> i need to change read/write permissions to a file but it says im not the owner..
[00:04] <kbar> venom
[00:04] <kbar> open terminal
[00:04] <kbar> venom open terminal and cd to the directory. and then type chmod a+x filename
[00:04] <drake> Is ken1 in here? (from 2 nights ago or so)
[00:04] <venom> k
[00:04] <Guest20334> anyone has experience with electric sheep?
[00:04] <s3a> trism: k, thanks :)
[00:04] <kbar> oh god electric sheep. you might want to uninstall right now Guest20334
[00:05] <mundr> does anyone know how to change the style of the menu bars in gnome programs? my nautilus and xchat use the same style in the menu bars for some reason.
[00:05] <Guest20334> kbar, is it that bad?
[00:05] <Guest20334> kbar what other cool graphical programs do you recommend
[00:05] <kbar> yes Guest20334 its a known bug for chrome
[00:05] <dzup1> Guest mine :p
[00:06] <f00bar80> is there anybody knows of a good guide on how to setup a pptp vpn server in ubuntu ? i've tried some of the available online guides but non working correctly, i'm on 10.04 TLS
[00:06] <Guest20334> kbar: so what do you recommend to make it look cool?
[00:06] <kbar> Guest20334, I recommend not install bullcrapware and using the regular chrome settings.
[00:07] <erichammond> trism: Thanks for the tip earlier.  Handbrake made it easy to rip a DVD and convert the video to a format which I can stream to an iPad.  Now I have to figure out how to save the mp4 on the iPad for offline viewing which has nothing to do with Ubuntu.
[00:07] <Guest20334> kbar: can you run me through ti?
[00:07] <randal> guest20334` i recomend to stay away from crome and use firefox XD
[00:08] <kbar> randal, chrome is better
[00:08] <trism> erichammond: excellent, glad it worked for you
[00:08] <randal> kbar, why is it beter
[00:08] <kbar> randal, oh lets see, support for html5, faster.  need I say more?
[00:08] <randal> kbar,  i dont even know what html5 is :)
[00:09] <luca> prova
[00:09] <kbar> randal, go use internet explorer
[00:09] <drake> kbar can you log into yahoo mail with chrome on linux?
[00:09] <randal> kbar, why would i use internet explorer
[00:09] <kbar> drake, why are you using yahoo?  also you may need ubuntu-restricted-extras if yahoo mail uses flash, whcih I wouldn't be surprised if it does
[00:10] <rmatte> ever since i upgraded to 10.04 I've been getting the following errors: "nfs: RPC call returned error 88" & "/mspfiles: RPC call returned error 88" (mspfiles being the nfs share).  This happens on both of the systems that I upgraded to 10.04 but never used to happen.  When it happens it's impossible to login to the server via ldap for about a minute, then it's fine afterwards.  Is there a bug with nfs in 10.04?
[00:10] <venom> that file a+x file didnt work :\
[00:10] <drake> kbar why isn't really an issue, I used chrome for a while on linux mint (I only use ubuntu for servers) and it didn't work.  I wondered if it ever got fixed.
[00:10] <rabidweezle> alsa sound in wine will play for a split second and die, anyone else get this?
[00:10] <kbar> drake, why are you using linux mint?
[00:11] <drake> kbar I prefer taking guess work out of everything when it comes to my laptop.  :)
[00:11] <kbar> you mean you prefer using stuff that the man hands you
[00:11] <Craig_Dem> Har har
[00:11] <drake> kbar It was downloaded but sure.
[00:12] <rmatte> my flamewar sense is tingling
[00:12] <rmatte> :P
[00:12] <Craig_Dem> And ubuntu does not man handle you?
[00:12] <Craig_Dem> Go try Arch.
[00:12] <kbar> i know right
[00:12] <kbar> arch is awesome
[00:12] <f00bar80> any comment ?
[00:13] <acerimmer_> !ot
[00:13] <kbar> pft
[00:13] <drake> My question was a geniune curiosity as to weather or not chrom fixed the bugs that it used to have or not.  Not a flame that he uses chrome.  I rather enjoy chrome and firefox.
[00:14] <genewitch> anyone here able to help with 10.04 PPC? I have no display, computer boots, I can log into tterminals (ctrl-alt-F2) but gnome displays a black screen
[00:15] <rajkohaxor> i keep getting a hang on this
[00:15] <rajkohaxor> gpg: requesting key 8D0DC64F from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
[00:16] <Craig_Dem> I couldn't get the current build to install, never mind boot.
[00:16] <genewitch> Craig_Dem: of what
[00:17] <phil_> hi, i just wanted to update to lucid using alternate cd, after a stopped netupdate. the thing is, the updater keeps complaining about not having exclusive access
[00:17] <phil_> what can i do?
[00:17] <rabidweezle> if I logout and back in to kde, will pulseaudio be running?
[00:17] <phil_> there is no apt, kpackagemanager or whatever running in the background, i even double checked ps -aux for processes
[00:18] <Craig_Dem> Of 10.10
[00:18] <CaptainTrek> Craig_Dem:  that's barely worth building right now, they recently released 10.04 xD
[00:18] <Craig_Dem> I got a bit excited after watching the keynote at UDS
[00:18] <Craig_Dem> I have a box to spare and test it.
[00:18] <CaptainTrek> Craig_Dem:  my statement still stands
[00:19] <Craig_Dem> I can report bugs and stuff.
[00:19] <drake> Hello CaptainTrek, didn't see you in here.  :)
[00:19] <genewitch> welll not being able to boot it is a bug
[00:19] <Craig_Dem> Yes
[00:19] <alberto> ciao
[00:19] <Craig_Dem> But I need to burn another disk to confirm it
[00:20] <genewitch> I'm thinking I need to troubleshoot the X conf file on this 10.04 to get gnome to boot. I'm running an apt-get update && upgrade right now though. Anyone here available to walk me through with pastebin to find the problems?
[00:20] <xx> test

[00:27] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is there a post install tweaking guideline for ubuntu.  Repository setup, codec installation,  stuff like that?
[00:28] <iAgree> Can someone help me?
[00:28] <dsnyders> iAgree, nobody can help you unless you ask a question
[00:28] <ruben23> MrWise: how should i do that any idea ot steps or how to for that..?
[00:28] <genewitch> where are the x/gnome startup logs? so I can see what the errors are?
[00:28] <iAgree> sorry, i need help on finding out how to uninstall ubuntu.
[00:29] <Arimil> This is really screwed up. "dmesg"..."I/O error, dev sdb, sector ###". I get this error a load of times. So I figure... my hard drive is dieing. "sudo badblocks -v -s /dev/sda1" finds no bad blocks???
[00:29] <dsnyders> !install
[00:29] <david_> ubuntu is a lot better than microsoft
[00:29] <iAgree> i know
[00:29] <f00bar80> what's ‘Lucid Lynx’
[00:29] <Craig_Dem> An operating system.
[00:29] <CaptainTrek> !lucid
[00:29] <iAgree> i just need to uninstall then re install
[00:29] <acerimmer_> f00bar80: ubuntu 10.04 = lucid lynx
[00:29] <julianc> genewitch: check /var/log/Xorg.*
[00:30] <iAgree> but dsnyders
[00:30] <iAgree> How is that going to help?
[00:30] <iAgree> thats telling me how to install?
[00:30] <acerimmer_> iAgree: Why uninstall?  Just install over the previous setup
[00:30] <genewitch> julianc: thanks.
[00:31] <genewitch> "FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO : Invalid reason" happens a lot while it's trying to find a resolution.
[00:31] <dsnyders> iAgree, Sorry.  I didn't see the un in front of install.
[00:31] <austin987> Arimil, could be bad ram
[00:31] <rmatte> Hmmm, this is the exact issue I'm seeing: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557760#c10 --- guess it's a general problem with the new kernel
[00:31] <iAgree> Oh it's okay dsnyders
[00:31] <rmatte> wonder if anyone is ever going to fix it
[00:31] <genewitch> vrefrehs out of range, unknown reason, hsync out of range, errors
[00:31] <iAgree> i just need help uninstalling
[00:31] <Arimil> austin: hmm good call let me check that thanks

[00:32] <julianc> Custom xorg.conf file?
[00:32] <iAgree> ummm pretty much removing it from my computer
[00:32] <phoebus> why is there no equalizer or teble/bass control in the sound settings? (Ubuntu 10) - alternatively, what should I use to control system-wide sound settings?
[00:32] <acerimmer_> iAgree: because you don't want to use it at all anymore
[00:32] <iAgree> the whole system
[00:32] <iAgree> no
[00:32] <genewitch> julianc: no, fresh install
[00:32] <iAgree> acerimmer: im putting it on another computer
[00:33] <nlion> hey, can anyone help me troubleshoot audio-out problems on a macbook?
[00:33] <iAgree> acerimmer: but need to uninstall it off this comp

[00:35] <iAgree> Dsnyders i dont under stand how to do that
[00:35] <iAgree> acerimmr: uyes
[00:35] <iAgree> accerimmer: yes
[00:35] <genewitc1> Ok i am on irssi on the ubuntu machine so i can copy and paste
[00:36] <chipmank> well it took me 10 min to copy that can anybody tell me what is problem with clonezilla?
[00:36] <acerimmer_> iAgree: do you have your windows CD?
[00:36] <iAgree> acerimmer: no why?
[00:37] <ociredeF> hey there
[00:37] <ociredeF> anyone can help me?
[00:37] <dsnyders> iAgree, boot into windows, go to a command prompt and type diskmgmt.msc.  This will allow you to delete the linux partitions.  You can use fdisk /mbr to change grub.
[00:37] <dsnyders> !uninstall
[00:37] <ociredeF> for some reason when I plug my usb hard drive....it's not mounted
[00:37] <julianc> FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO usually has to do with available resolutions/refresh rates not working with the display device.
[00:37] <ociredeF> it doesn't even appear on gparted
[00:37] <acerimmer_> iAgree: what dsnyders said.
[00:37] <iAgree> K thanks ill try that
[00:37] <chipmank> i have a clonezilla problem
[00:37] <genewitch> julianc: Alright, what file do I edit to set that up manually?
[00:37] <dsnyders> iAgree, or just leave linux on it.
[00:38] <acerimmer_> dsnyders: that will restore windows only boot?
[00:38] <chipmank> i would like to have some help with my clonezilla problem
[00:39] <ruben23> does UNE is disributed thorugh USB..?
[00:39] <iAgree> wait dsnyders: how do i know which partition it is?
[00:39] <dsnyders> acerimmer_, I think it will.  I've never needed to try it.  Best to google for the real answer.
[00:40] <dsnyders> iAgree, anything that is not FAT, FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS is not windows.  The diskmgmt.msc program will show these as unrecognized partitions.
[00:40] <acerimmer_> iAgree: what version of windows?
[00:40] <iAgree> Windows 7
[00:40] <iAgree> and i can just delete them?
[00:40] <ociredeF> anyone any idea on what might be the problem?
[00:40] <ociredeF> I cannot mount my usb hard drive
[00:41] <cbone> chipmank, whats wrong with clonezilla?
[00:41] <fraser> Is there anyone who can help me with getting a Trident Cyberblade video card to work properly under 10.04?
[00:41] <chipmank> it crashes when trying to make image backup
[00:41] <iAgree> acerimmer: Windows 7.
[00:42] <julianc> genewitch: With the more recent versions of Ubuntu, it's not necessary to have the </etc/X11/xorg.conf> file. Are the video adapter and/or display device somewhat recent?
[00:42] <cbone> chipmank, where are you trying to create the backup image?
[00:42] <chipmank> looks like a disk problem on a freshly formatted and installed ubuntu
[00:42] <chipmank> on usb harddrive computer booted from
[00:42] <cbone> i have had success backing up across a network with clonezilla
[00:42] <ruben23> does UNE is disributed through USB..
[00:42] <genewitch> julianc: Rage128 is the driver it is using I believe. so no
[00:43] <chipmank> cbone did you see the message i got flood warned about?
[00:43] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is there a website with post install tweaking guideline for ubuntu.  Repository setup, codec installation,  stuff like that?
[00:44] <acerimmer_> dsnyders: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[00:44] <tux_> hi
[00:44] <acerimmer_> dsnyders: also see Ubuntu Tweak add on
[00:44] <acerimmer_> !hi > tux
[00:44] <cbone> chipmank, no i missed it
[00:44] <acerimmer_> !hi|tux
[00:44] <austin987> having trouble mounting a game dvd, it's only visible for root: http://paste.ubuntu.com/441979/
[00:45] <dsnyders> Thanks, acerimmer_.  I'll take a look at those.
[00:45] <genewitch> austin987: the directory it's mounted to is root only then
[00:45] <tux_> my wireless drives not working and it give me a msg "  /var/log/jockey.log " how i resolve this?
[00:46] <genewitch> austin987: sudo chmod 777 cdrom0
[00:46] <austin987> genewitc1, right, but it seems udev is setting that. when the dvd is umounted, /media/cdrom0 is readable by world
[00:46] <ChogyDan> austin987: if that doesn't work, can you pastebin your fstab?
[00:46] <chipmank> did you get that cbone?
[00:46] <genewitch> austin987: so use /media/cdrom instead
[00:47] <genewitch> Oh, nevermind I misread
[00:47] <tux_> my wireless drives not working and it give me a msg "  /var/log/jockey.log " how i resolve this? plz i need ur help frndz
[00:47] <austin987> genewitch / ChogyDan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/441980/
[00:48] <julianc> genewitch: I haven't installed a recent Ubuntu on a computer with that ATI video (have done it with newer, though). It might not be as friendly with automatically detecting settings.
[00:49] <genewitch> austin987: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1107165.html halfway down the page it tells you how to fix it in gnome
[00:49] <genewitch> julianc: I don't mind setting it up manually. It's a laptop so I imagine that's why the hsync and refresh aren't getting autodetected
[00:50] <Guest66482> On the first day possible I upgraded to 10.04 from 9.04. Now Update Manager keeps on asking me to do a partial upgrade. Any ideas on fixing this?
[00:50] <ChogyDan> Guest66482: did you do the partial upgrade?
[00:50] <genewitch> julianc: It also says "Video BIOS not found!" right after "Failed to read PCI ROM"
[00:51] <Guest66482> no. I read in ubuntu forums that this was a bad idea.
[00:51] <austin987> genewitch, thanks, but for me on lucid, that key is empty by default

[00:52] <julianc> I'd start with having X try to detect settings, and put them into a config file. Shut down gdm, and log into a virtual console. Run "sudo Xorg -configure" to create the file <xorg.conf.new>.

[01:00] <genewitch> julianc: Yeah, TiBook
[01:01] <wieshka_> hey question - why my wireless interface - wlan0 brings also down if i bring down eth0 interface with comamnd ifdown eth0 ?
[01:01] <JoeSomebody> well i am clicking everything on unless someone advises me not to ...
[01:02] <wieshka_> this is how my /etc/network/interfaces looks like
[01:02] <wieshka_> http://pastebin.com/UmjJtVWb
[01:02] <Dougdoug4> I need help. I have flashplugin-installer installed, but I still can't like, use Flash Player. I can watch and see YouTube videos, I just can't like, control them. I can't pause them, or mess around with the length/position. What do I do?
[01:02] <genewitch> julianc: it will load in low graphics mode, but I can't read anything, the text is unreadable.
[01:03] <bricky> hey guys if you install ubuntu with wubi and delete windows what happens?
[01:03] <kbar> you delete ubuntu
[01:03] <bricky> No way...
[01:04] <bricky> even if its on the other partition?.. :(
[01:04] <kbar> well you delete the boot instructions for ubuntu
[01:04] <kbar> you don't delete ubuntu
[01:04] <kbar> if you install grub it might work
[01:04] <kbar> i dont know wubi that well tho
[01:04] <rmatte> Dougdoug4: do you have flashplugin-nonfree installed?
[01:04] <bricky> hmm yeah it didnt let me install grub
[01:04] <wieshka> i supouse nobody can help me
[01:04] <uLinux_> hm
[01:04] <nanomachine> how can I turn .ape flac and cue files into individual lossless audio files, one for each song?
[01:04] <bricky> well it did, but hmm
[01:04] <bricky> i dunno, ill get back to you guys later on this
[01:04] <ZeuZ> where can I find the option to change double click on tittlebar to minimize instead of roll? (compiz-fusion)
[01:05] <Daekdroom> bricky, You should install Ubuntu without Wubi if you wish to delete Windows.
[01:05] <Typos_King> wieshka:   I see no good reason why that should happen, nor have I stumbled upon it
[01:05] <bricky> I know.
[01:05] <bricky> Deakdroom, I cant..
[01:05] <Daekdroom> How so?
[01:05] <bricky> heat issues
[01:05] <wieshka> Typos_King: thats the problem i also see no good reason for that
[01:05] <bricky> cd spins up, and computer shuts off
[01:05] <kbar> fail
[01:05] <julianc> genewitch: There's a PowerPC port of Xubuntu Lucid available. Is that what you're trying to get to work?
[01:05] <kbar> clean out your computer bricky
[01:06] <bricky> kbar: Its a laptop I am buying some canned air tonight
[01:06] <bricky> hehe, ubuntu is pretty sick though
[01:06] <wieshka> the problem is - u have assigned 192.168.1.101 to my eht0 and 192.168.1.102 to my wifi - i connect over ssh to *.102 - wifi and do ifdown eth0
[01:06] <wieshka> also wifi drops
[01:06] <Typos_King> wieshka:   well heheh, thus far what we know is that your usage of 'ifdown' process is triggering something to affect wlan0, I don't think is a direct-intervention per se, as you seem to suspect
[01:06] <genewitch> julianc: ubuntu-10.04-alternate-powerpc
[01:06] <ociredeF> hey everyone... I am having way too many problems with ubuntu lately.
[01:06] <david_> how do i get to the boot menu before ubuntu boots up
[01:06] <ociredeF> is there a chance anyone might be willing to give me some help?
[01:07] <bricky> one question any way to search up file types like mp3?
[01:07] <wieshka> wlano and eth0 are two different physical interfaces
[01:07] <bricky> from my C: drive,
[01:07] <kbar> wlan0 is wireless, eth0 is wired
[01:07] <genewitch> julianc: xubuntu 9.04 powerpc also didn't work, same issue (black screen or unreadable in low graphics mode)
[01:07] <ChogyDan> ociredeF: just post your questions one at a time
[01:07] <wieshka> kbar: i know that :)
[01:07] <wieshka> maybe i should give a try to ifconfig <interface >
[01:07] <wieshka> >
[01:07] <wieshka> down
[01:07] <wieshka> not ifdown
[01:08] <wieshka> but i supouse they are the same
[01:08] <wieshka> commans
[01:08] <wieshka> commands
[01:08] <kbar> ipconfig
[01:08] <kbar> i though
[01:08] <genewitch> wieshka:they're not the same thing
[01:08] <ociredeF>  ChogyDan do you knopw how to mount a usb drive'
[01:08] <canolucas> does anybody know a funny chat robot for linux? (both console or gui programs are ok)
[01:08] <wieshka> genewitch: what generally is the difference ?
[01:08] <ChogyDan> ociredeF: personally, I just plug it in
[01:09] <ociredeF>  ChogyDan: ubuntu isn't doiong it that way
[01:09] <wieshka> ifdown brings interface physicaly down ?
[01:09] <wieshka> and ifconfig just drops conf ?
[01:09] <genewitch> wieshka: ifconfig <nic> down doesn't run a script, ifdown requires a config file to be set up (usually automatically). I only know how to edit it in gentoo, not ubuntu
[01:09] <wieshka> genewitch: i have used gentoo
[01:10] <wieshka> genewitch: give me a hint maybe i will figure out
[01:10] <ChogyDan> ociredeF: is this a new install?
[01:10] <ociredeF> ChogyDan: yes it is
[01:10] <ociredeF> I just came back from 10.04 cause I was having all kind of trobles with that
[01:10] <ChogyDan> ociredeF: what version?
[01:10] <wieshka> basicly ifdown runs if-down.d scripts
[01:10] <ociredeF> ChogyDan: 9.10
[01:10] <wieshka> allocated to that process
[01:11] <wieshka> for example also on ppp connection
[01:11] <ChogyDan> ociredeF: why didn't you install 10.04?
[01:11] <genewitch> wieshka: it's chapter 3 of the gentoo handbook
[01:11] <ociredeF> ChogyDan: I upgraded to 10.04 but incredibly crazy things were happening on my pc with that
[01:11] <ociredeF> so I went back to karmic cause I had no problems with that
[01:11] <ChogyDan> ociredeF: like what?
[01:12] <Guest63445> Anyone familar with udev? I'm on a livecd right now, and /dev isn't listing my partitions
[01:12] <onetinsoldier> ociredeF: did you try a clean install of 10.04 and still have problems?
[01:12] <ociredeF> ChogyDan: like my sound interface disappearing as I am listening to some mp3
[01:12] <drblarts> Hey, I have a clean install of 10.04LTS but when I boot up X doesn't autostart and when I run startx myself it doesn't start the network manager
[01:13] <wieshka> genewitch: no new info about networking on linux in that chapter for me
[01:13] <ociredeF> ChogyDan: or the network manager never bnooting
[01:13] <austin987> genewitch / ChogyDan: seems related to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980629&highlight=only+root+can+read+dvd
[01:13] <austin987> mounting with unhide and uid=1000 (my uid) seems to have fixed it
[01:14] <onetinsoldier> drblarts: i recommend you try starting X with --> sudo service gdm start  ..and see what happens
[01:15] <julianc> genewitch: I can't seem to find an answer specific to the PowerPC port of Xubuntu Jaunty. I recommend trying the PowerPC port of regular Ubuntu Hardy (8.04.1).
[01:15] <Jaspe1> so anyone wanna tell me why ubuntu 10.04 hates me?
[01:15] <wieshka> heh - i have figured out - written a bash script what connects to any wireless network if just ssid and key specified, but now my wireless interface also goes down if i shut down ethernet interface
[01:15] <Jaspe1> :(
[01:15] <ChogyDan> ociredeF: well, I don't know.  I would check the media, and stick with 10.04.  Try to deal with those bugs if you can.  But that's just me.
[01:15] <genewitch> austin987: sorry I am out of my element here :-(
[01:16] <austin987> no problem, figured I'd let you know in case someone else asked
[01:16] <genewitch> julianc: I will try going back to 8.04 then
[01:16] <drblarts> onetinsoldier: When I ran that a popup came up saying ubuntu was running in low-graphjics mode and I couldn't click on the ok button because there was no cursor.
[01:16] <ChogyDan> ociredeF: I also have a separate partition to test on, just to make sure I don't upgrade prematurely
[01:16] <austin987> I'm assuming there may have been an update that changed the udev rules, but I don't feel like checking, have work to do
[01:16] <Guest63445> 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' lists 3 partitions, but 'ls /dev | grep sda' yields only '/dev/sda'. Any ideas of what might be wrong?
[01:16] <ociredeF> ChogyDan: oh
[01:17] <greezmunkey> Guest63445: because you only searched for sda!
[01:17] <onetinsoldier> Jaspe1: there's people coming and going from this channel all the time. i, for just one, haven't seen a description of you problem. you should keep putitng in your problem description about every 10-15 minutes, rather than just 'can anyone tell me why ubuntu hate me' ;-)
[01:17] <onetinsoldier> putting*
[01:17] <Guest63445> Yes. Those partitions should be named '/dev/sda1', '/dev/sda2', and '/dev/sda3'.
[01:18] <onetinsoldier> drblarts: roger. what kind of video card do you have?
[01:19] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: hates me...hehe
[01:19] <bricky> haha
[01:19] <bricky> I love linux
[01:19] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: hi! lol
[01:19] <onetinsoldier> i make typos all the time
[01:19] <onetinsoldier> Typos_King has the nick i should have ;-)
[01:19] <drblarts> Oh snap, lemme check.
[01:20] <JoeSomebody> properties for a ntfs drive in nautilis are saying i am not the owner, but i am , wtf?
[01:20] <onetinsoldier> drblarts: ok, try --> sudo lshw -C Video
[01:20] <Typos_King> heh
[01:20] <onetinsoldier> Typos_King: :-)
[01:21] <JoeSomebody> there is only one user, that i set up anyway, how can i not be the owner?
[01:21] <bricky> a simple commands or two throws out windows boot loader and  puts grub in
[01:21] <Guest63445> JoeSomebody: There are other implicit users. The ntfs drive is probably mounted as root. Try 'gksudo nautilus', and using that to browse the drive.
[01:22] <bricky> I got a link to do it, but its kind of above my skill level, hah
[01:22] <billybigrigger> is there a secure way of accessing my nfs share over the internet? not via LAN?
[01:22] <billybigrigger> or am i better off using scp
[01:22] <JoeSomebody> ok thx
[01:23] <drblarts> I have an ATI Radeon X1300/1550 and some integrated nVidia GeForce 6150 LE
[01:23] <drblarts> I shall google these.
[01:24] <onetinsoldier> drblarts: roger. not sure what to think with all those video cards in there. might need to disable one in the BIOS, or perhaps specify the driver and specific vid card in a custom made /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[01:25] <Guest63445> billybigrigger: There are some decent solutions, but scp is the easiest to set up. You could also set up a secure FTP server.
[01:25] <karma_police> what is a good antivirus for linux? i use ubuntu on a live usb and would like a good antivirus to scan windows partitions. i use the live usb as a troubleshooter for windoze computers'
[01:25] <ChogyDan> karma_police: I like the kasperky online scanner
[01:25] <julianc> ClamAV, perhaps?
[01:25] <billybigrigger> Guest63445, its all good, i set it up so i can ssh into one of machines from outside the lan, and i can access nfs over ssh or scp whatever i need to do
[01:25] <drblarts> I didn't know there was anything other than clamav that you could install
[01:26] <billybigrigger> just hope my ip doesn't change while i'm awaay :)
[01:26] <DIL> what files would i install if i wanted to alternatively log into a KDE session
[01:26] <a3ist> billybigrigger, use dyndns.org and an automatic updating daemon
[01:27] <drblarts> For normal windows installs I normally use Avira (or panda [which is behavioral] when the computer has the resources)
[01:27] <karma_police> i was looking at clamav but have read it is junk compared to the other options
[01:27] <matmat> billybigrigger: homeip.net
[01:27] <kbar> how do i close a port?
[01:27] <drblarts> karma_police: It is.
[01:27] <a3ist> !ufw | kbar
[01:27] <ChogyDan> karma_police: that's why I use kaspersky
[01:27] <Guest63445> So, fdisk lists several partitions on my hard drive, but only the primary device (/dev/sda) is listed in /dev, and none of its partitions. Any ideas?
[01:27] <JoeSomebody> xp system is asking for a password, but should not be, is there someplace i must specify a user name and pass?
[01:27] <karma_police> is it fairly easy to install avg or avira in ubuntu? i'[m a noob
[01:28] <kbar> why
[01:28] <kbar> dont use them
[01:28] <Typos_King> JoeSomebody:    it shouldn't be?
[01:28] <JoeSomebody> i am the same user on both , like i was in karmic, but it aint working like that this time
[01:28] <Typos_King> !av | karma_police
[01:28] <drblarts> Typos_King: He's trying to scan partitions.
[01:28] <JoeSomebody> windows didnt ask me for as user and pass before, how to fix that?
[01:29] <kbar> what about one that RPM's?
[01:29] <Typos_King> JoeSomebody:    come again?
[01:29] <karma_police> i am not worried about my linux getting infected.. i want something that i can use to fix windows partitions..
[01:29] <JoeSomebody> i set up my share, and now i set up my permissions
[01:29] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: post your smb.conf file please
[01:29] <drblarts> JoeSomebody: #windows there's more ways to do that then there are holes in swiss cheese in a colander cap
[01:30] <JoeSomebody> talking about terminal and nautilis
[01:30] <Typos_King> karma_police:    use a live-win32 cd to boot with, as far as Avira, they have a portable version you can run off a usb, also kapersky has a portable one too, which you can run in a live-cd session
[01:30] <kbar> nautilus?
[01:30] <drblarts> OOOOHHHHH!!!!!!
[01:30] <DJ_HaMsTa> wat u talkin bout
[01:31] <kbar> wat joo sayin
[01:31] <kbar> wat u say willis
[01:31] <drblarts> Like what happens with nm-appletD
[01:31] <kbar> nm-applet? what about that drblarts
[01:31] <Typos_King> karma_police:    http://www.hirensbootcd.net/   <--- it has a live-win2 option
[01:31] <drblarts> !keyrings
[01:31] <Ekathos> hi fellows,  how can i give execution permission (chmod 1 wathever)   for any executable in  a dvd  or cd?
[01:32] <DJ_HaMsTa> what is the best samba tutorial for ubuntu out there ?
[01:32] <drblarts> !best
[01:32] <Typos_King> Ekathos:    sudo chmod a+x FILENAME;
[01:32] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, i have only added 1 thing - usershare owner only = false
[01:32] <DJ_HaMsTa> drblarts, there are tutorials that are 30 years old and ones that get updated constantly, quit being a douche
[01:33] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, i take it i need to add more than that?
[01:33] <fk_007> i can't believe that the OtherOS is gone on the new PS3
[01:33] <Typos_King> Ekathos:    add -R to make it recursive
[01:33] <Ekathos> Typos_King  lol  you cannont write  over a cd or dvd
[01:33] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: are you gettin gthe pword prompt in windows accessing ubuntu or the other way round?
[01:34] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, prompt in windows accessing ubuntu
[01:34] <Typos_King> Ekathos:    sooo, why are you asking to begin with? yes I thought about that too, then again, I thought you meant stuff you were going to burn
[01:35] <Ekathos> well  the files laready be  in a dvd or cd
[01:35] <johntramp> hey i have just instlled lubuntu-desktop and i can't work out how to get rid of the sounds when i click anything. it's pretty annoying
[01:35] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: do you have this line in your share section? valid users = user1 user2 {replace username as necessary}
[01:35] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, no prob accessing win machines from network in menu
[01:35] <Typos_King> Ekathos:    reburning them with such permissions then
[01:35] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, no
[01:35] <johntramp> in gnome-conf-pref the sounds is greyed out
[01:35] <JoeSomebody> what section?
[01:36] <Guest63445> Ekathos: Or copying the files to local disk, and changing the permissions there
[01:36] <Ekathos> well you konw  less  than  me
[01:36] <Ekathos> ty
[01:36] <Ekathos> see you
[01:36] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: it would be easier if you posted your smb.conf, otherwise stick it in global and restart smbd
[01:37] <JoeSomebody> posting
[01:37] <Guest63445> Ekathos: Mount with -o exec
[01:37] <JoeSomebody> http://pastebin.com/tXhxgTPG
[01:38] <Guest63445> My /dev directory isn't listing the partitions on my primary drive... any ideas?
[01:39] <Typos_King> Guest63445:    and -> sudo fdisk -l;   doesn't either?
[01:39] <bricky> but yeah can someone confirm something if its possible to (which im sure it is) this is linux afterall, to overwrite the windows boot and use grub
[01:39] <Guest63445> Typos_King: No, 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' lists 3 partitions.
[01:39] <bricky> since thats the only thing I can do to salvage whats left of my computer lol
[01:40] <Zelda> Does samba create shares over the WAN?
[01:40] <Typos_King> Guest63445:    and that's wrong?
[01:40] <stond> does anyone out there have Ubuntu running on a Playstation 3
[01:41] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: pretty stock, did you upgrade recently?
[01:41] <Guest63445> Typos_King: No, that's right. But my /dev directory only has an entry for '/dev/sda', not '/dev/sda1', 2, 3, so I can't mount them, etc.
[01:42] <JoeSomebody> clean install of new one
[01:42] <stond> Does any one have Ubuntu Running on a Playstation3
[01:43] <Guest63445> stond: How recently have you done a PS3 update?
[01:43] <Zelda> stond give it time.
[01:43] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: did you run smbpasswd -a for the username that you are logged into windows as?
[01:43] <Guest81309> can someone help me with md raid.. I had a 3 disk array, 1 drive failed, i now have a replacement drive and its refusing to let me add the new drive to the array
[01:43] <ubuntu_> #reprap
[01:43] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, no, i'm pretty green :)
[01:43] <stond> hey guest63445 are you talking to me
[01:44] <merxedes> hi
[01:44] <drblarts> Holy mackarel, it's mr ubuntu himslef!
[01:44] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: man smbpassword - you want to make the user the same as your xp login, password too.
[01:44] <Guest63445> Yes, that's why I prepended my message with "stond:".
[01:44] <greezmunkey> man smbpasswd, sorry :)
[01:44] <JoeSomebody> just type smbpasswd -a ?
[01:45] <stond> Oh I did not see that anyway I have firmware 3.15 on my PS3 and refuse to update because I dont want to loose Other OS option
[01:45] <NMFTM> @stond: same
[01:45] <Northwoods> How much disk space should i leave for ubuntu desktop version ?
[01:45] <Guest81309> then you cant play the latest games online
[01:46] <greezmunkey> stond: I read that they are going to reverse their decision to remove otheros, but can't say for sure.
[01:46] <Zelda> anyone verse with SAmba?
[01:46] <Zelda> er Samba?
[01:46] <JoeSomebody> apparently not
[01:46] <stond> I dont really care about playing the latest games online because I play mostly RPGs
[01:46] <NMFTM> @greezmunkey: My tech teacher said that Sony was removing the other-os option because they could be held liable if someone bought a PS3 and used it to sniff network packets or something.
[01:46] <James3> yes Zelda, but i have bigger probs of my own atm
[01:46] <Northwoods> what i mean is ,  i'm going to install ubuntu desktop version on my laptop , and there is about 100 GB i have unpartitioned , i dont know how much to allocate or leave for ubuntu
[01:47] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, what is the syntax?
[01:47] <Zelda> James3: Do you know if you can create shares that are accessible over the WAN?
[01:47] <NMFTM> because it's a small self contained unit and could be easily used for that. I'm skeptical though. If that were the case, people would use nettops. They're smaller and cheaper than PS3's.
[01:47] <Northwoods> guys any help ?
[01:47] <greezmunkey> NMFTM: yeah, who knows - the net is full of rumors
[01:47] <Guest63445> Northwoods: Do you have something else you want to use the rest of the 100g for?
[01:48] <James3> in short yes, but why would you want to put a samba share on the internet?
[01:48] <Northwoods> Guest63445: I have to use it for windows
[01:48] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, got it and it works now THANK YOU
[01:48] <Northwoods> to keep dumps
[01:48] <Northwoods> i have windows vista already installed
[01:48] <NMFTM> why install Ubuntu on your PS3? Isn't Yellow Dog the way to go? It is optimised for Power architecture after all.
[01:48] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: man(ual) is pretty handy, huh :)
[01:48] <mood7> Northwoods, how much would you need for Windows?
[01:48] <stond> @NMFTM the real reason Sony removed it is that they are scared that the PS3 is going to be hacked through the Other OS side
[01:48] <Guest63445> Northwoods: It really depends on what you're doing on each OS then. If you're storing lots of vids, etc. on one, leave most of it for that partition.
[01:49] <adnan> hey
[01:49] <Guest63445> Northwoods: I would allocate at least 20GB for the smaller of the two, though.
[01:49] <NMFTM> @stond: if someone hacked the PS3 and used it to play pirated games. if anything taht'd probably help the PS3 lol, because nobody is buying it to play games on.
[01:49] <Northwoods> Guest63445: Only one partition is required for ubuntu , right , and i can create drives out of it ?
[01:49] <stond> I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on my PS3 right now
[01:49] <adnan> i am trying to do a shared partition between my Ubuntu and WinXP.. would NTFS be a suitable file system? i am also trying to put my /home directory in it
[01:49] <NMFTM> that's probably why the Dreamcast lasted as long as it did.
[01:49] <stond> and it is great
[01:49] <Zelda> James3: True, thats why I was asking. Should I just create an SFTP server? Wouldnt that be easier?
[01:50] <greezmunkey> Zelda: what do you want to be able to do?
[01:50] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, got a link to the manual? i am currently on gettting started pdf
[01:50] <adnan> anybody got a clue?
[01:50] <JoeSomebody> and i got impatient :)
[01:50] <Guest63445> Northwoods: You also need a swap partition, but this can be relatively small (1GB or so is plenty, usually). You can partition your drive with a LiveCD.
[01:50] <Northwoods> Guest63445: So if i leave say 80 GB for  ubuntu  , that would be enough ?
[01:51] <Zelda> Create a server that people need user accounts to back up files/share over the WAN
[01:51] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: what manual? Samba?
[01:51] <NMFTM> I thought Sony only allowed you to allocate about 10GB to "other os"?
[01:51] <cbone> adnan, that works for me this a dual booted system right?
[01:51] <Zelda> So like an OpenSSH or SFTP server.
[01:51] <Guest63445> Northwoods: Plenty, probably. The operating system itself uses up only a few gigabytes.
[01:51] <Northwoods> Guest63445:  rest of it i can use for partitions in ubuntu
[01:51] <stond> NMFTM: that is true and really that is all you need
[01:51] <greezmunkey> JoeSomebody: here's a couple of decent links: http://www.prash-babu.com/2008/05/how-to-setup-samba-in-linux.html http://linux.bihlman.com/tag/samba/
[01:51] <adnan> cbone, yeah
[01:51] <JoeSomebody> greezmunkey, ubuntu and samba manual i guess
[01:51] <dan2> hey guys, the startup disk application is hung on my machine, and I'm not sure hwo to close it
[01:51] <cbone> adnan, I just have ubuntu mount the NTFS whenever i login
[01:52] <adnan> my /home will be in the NTFS shared partition
[01:52] <Saik> hello everyone. Does anyone know EXACTLY what depedencies frostwire has?
[01:52] <Northwoods> Guest63445: what is liveCD , i'm downloading .iso desktop from website, then will write it on a CD
[01:52] <adnan> cbone, what does mounting do exactly?
[01:52] <Zelda> Saik: No, what are you trying to do? Why dont you just install it?
[01:52] <adnan> because when i loook in my file browser, i see the partition as another hard drive
[01:52] <Zelda> adnan: allows you to access it
[01:52] <adnan> that i can access
[01:52] <cbone> yep
[01:52] <adnan> so i guess its alreayd mounted then?
[01:52] <Zelda> to be able to read and write to it
[01:53] <freezway> Today I built my own kernel, but after building and before rebooting i went to uninstall my nvidia driver but it stopped 2/3 of the way though and said "Install Archives failed" I reboot and when I try to reinstall it it give the same message. I am stuck at 1024x768
[01:53] <adnan> oh ok
[01:53] <Guest63445> Northwoods: That is the LiveCD. It runs a small version of Ubuntu that allows you to test out the system, partition your drive, install ubuntu, etc.
[01:53] <Saik> Zelda: I have installed ot, 4 times.. it doesn't want to pop up and rn, which makes me assume it's som dependency not bein met
[01:53] <cbone> probably already mounted ubuntu does a good job mounting drives as soon as you try to use them
[01:53] <adnan> when i right-click it, i have the unmount option, so .. lol
[01:53] <freezway> and rebooting to the old kernel doesn
[01:53] <freezway> t work
[01:53] <Zelda> Saik: Try rebooting.
[01:53] <Northwoods> Guest63445: Gotcha , thankyou
[01:53] <Saik> Zelda: it also gives some error about Java, but java is installed
[01:53] <adnan> alright im gonna go see how i can move my /home dir
[01:53] <adnan> thakn you cbone  and Zelda
[01:53] <Zelda> Saik: What version of Java? Open?
[01:53] <NMFTM> @saik: is Java installed or the IcedTea java thing?
[01:54] <Saik> Zelda: I have done that too, it has been installed for at least 48 hours, and been rebooted multiple times
[01:54] <NMFTM> I think you either need the official Java or would need to modify some things to get it to work with the open source java that is in the Ubuntu repos.
[01:54] <Zelda> Saik: then remove frostwire, and reinstall
[01:54] <NMFTM> Because I went to install Frostwire a little while ago and it said I needed the official Java.
[01:54] <Saik> Zelda 1.5 and 1.6 I believe    NMFTM: the sun-java*-bin (jre) packages
[01:55] <Zelda> Saik: you use from the terminal sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre?
[01:55] <Saik> Zelda: apt-get remove, or apt-get purge?
[01:55] <Zelda> Saik: rm
[01:55] <Saik> Zelda: rm on what?
[01:55] <NMFTM> I don't think Sun Java is in the Ubuntu repos anymore, I didn't see it. I just DL's it from the website.
[01:55] <Zelda> frostwire
[01:56] <Saik> or you mean remove and didn't want to type it out?
[01:56] <Veralix> ooooohkay, I'll try this.  I'm trying to get my xbox to connect to the internet through my laptop which is running kubuntu.  I've tried brige utils and modifying the interfaces file: [http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.5.html]
[01:56] <Zelda> NMFTM: it is. sun-java6-jre
[01:56] <Guest63445> Zelda, Saik: Use openjdk-6-jre instead
[01:56] <Zelda> Guest63445:negative, thats horrible.
[01:56] <Veralix> but it didn't work, maybe I configured it improperly.  But firestarter hasn't been working either.
[01:56] <Veralix> anybody have any clue how to go about this? >_>
[01:56] <Guest63445> Zelda: How so?
[01:57] <Zelda> guest63445: Why?
[01:57] <stond> any on got XBMC working on there PS3
[01:57] <Therstrium> Anyone recommend a DVD mirroring package for  Ubuntu besides dvdcopy and k9copy?  dvdcopy can't handle any protection, and I don't want to re-encode or compress, just strip encryption and add to media server as-is.
[01:57] <Saik> Zelda: it's a ~600 mhz processor with 128 ram, I doubt they'll be using anything having to do with java other than frostwire
[01:57] <Zelda> Why use opensdk when you can use the normal one?
[01:57] <NMFTM> @Zelda: I have all the repos enabled and I see no "sun-java6" package or anything like it.
[01:57] <freezway> Today I built my own kernel, but after building and before rebooting i went to uninstall my nvidia driver but it stopped 2/3 of the way though and said "Install Archives failed" I reboot and when I try to reinstall it it give the same message. I am stuck at 1024x768. Rebboting into an older kernel doesn't work
[01:57] <Guest63445> Zelda: Because sun has stopped all development on their implementation and are supporting openjdk as the official implemantation.
[01:57] <Zelda> NMFTM: Run that from the terminal
[01:58] <Zelda> Guest63445: Oh, i did not know that
[01:58] <simona> ciao, problema wireless
[01:58] <NMFTM> oh, so OpenJDK is the official Java now?
[01:58] <stond> has anyone got XBMC working on a PLaystation3
[01:59] <onetinsoldier> !it | simona
[01:59] <Zelda> NMFTM: if you run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre it will install
[01:59] <Saik> simona: portueguese?
[01:59] <Guest63445> NMFTM: Basically, although the official switch doesn't happen until java7
[01:59] <dan2> usb startup disk creator keeps hanging on my machine at 100%
[01:59] <dan2> is there some sort of udpate for it or something?
[01:59] <Saik> dan2: give it a few minutes
[02:00] <dan2> Saik, the whole window pane is grayed out when I minimized and brought it back up
[02:00] <NMFTM> @Zelda: "Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:00] <NMFTM> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[02:00] <NMFTM> is only available from another source"
[02:00] <Saik> Zelda: so I need openjdk-java6-bin?
[02:00] <onetinsoldier> !partner | NMFTM
[02:00] <stond> dan2 I suggest you use usb-imagewriter instead it is 100% better
[02:00] <Zelda> NMFTM: That means you dont have the backports Unsupported sources not checked
[02:00] <muyox> I recently installed 10.04 and when I booted I installed the ATI drivers (from a popup). How can I find out which version of the ATI catalyst drivers I have installed?

[02:01] <Guest63445> magik: What problem are you having?
[02:01] <Zelda> why did you install 5?
[02:02] <Saik> Zelda: that's what it was asking for

[02:16] <dan2> stond, yes
[02:16] <dan2> stond, so is this in effect going to dd the iso to the drive?
[02:16] <stond> dan2 now remove all other USB devices such as SDcards Memory stick and USB flash drives
[02:16] <Saik> Zelda: can I run through a few things with you in pm a moment?

[02:17] <ctmjr> magik,  np
[02:17] <stond> now plug in the USB flashdrive you want to use and format it to FAT32 ( just a plain old format )
[02:17] <Saik> Semperfi40: sounds like your farewall might be acting up
[02:18] <GSF1200S> Semperfi40, maybe not. What vid card you have?
[02:18] <godricbrutus> hi all. i can't seem to get ubuntu to boot via easybcd. i tried doing sudo grub-intstall --force /dev/sda5, but it doesnt seem to be taking. http://pastebin.com/MB2kCHAT
[02:18] <dan2> stond, can you give me like 5 instructions at a time so I can get done with this today
[02:19] <Saik> Zelda: can I run through a few things with you in pm a moment?
[02:19] <stond> dan 2 you are almost done duid you format it ywt
[02:19] <magik> I can't find anything how to install themes there.
[02:19] <dan2> stond, formatted
[02:19] <histo> magik: system > preferences > appeareance
[02:19] <magik> ?
[02:19] <stond> now start usb-imagewriter
[02:19] <histo> magik: to install themes
[02:20] <dan2> stond, you understand that last step was absolutely pointless right?
[02:20] <magik> histo there is no perferences in my system...
[02:20] <magik> im on xubuntu
[02:20] <Saik> magik: settings then
[02:20] <histo> magik: ahh
[02:20] <stond> it should be in your Apllication Menu under Accessories
[02:20] <magik> theres no perferences in settings either...
[02:20] <histo> magik: maybe the people in #xubuntu can help more
[02:20] <Saik> magik: it's either preferences or settings, it's one of the top few ext to accessories
[02:21] <malach_> hi all!, how can we access physical drive in kbuntu using vmware
[02:21] <Saik> histo: I'm using X as well
[02:21] <Semperfi30> "And the router is downstairs, I have intermitent disconnections sometimes, when I repair it on windows it says it's the "Fixed Gateway" "
[02:21] <stond> formating just makes it easier for usb-imagewriter to di it job
[02:21] <dan2> stond, if you wanted me to dd the image to the drive you could have told me that when we started, that's one step task
[02:21] <Saik> Zelda, you there?
[02:21] <malach_> my virtual os is kbuntu and host is xp
[02:21] <godricbrutus> i can't seem to get ubuntu to boot via easybcd. i tried doing sudo grub-intstall --force /dev/sda5, but it doesnt seem to be taking. http://pastebin.com/MB2kCHAT
[02:21] <stond> did you start the app yet
[02:22] <Zelda> Saik: yes sorry busy reading stuff
[02:22] <Zelda> whats up?
[02:22] <Saik> Zelda: can I run through a few things with you in pm a moment?
[02:22] <magik> There's nothing about perferences or appearance in system or settings...
[02:22] <Semperfi30> GSF1200S, once again I'm back >.>
[02:22] <Semperfi30> Lol
[02:22] <GSF1200S> Semperfi30, you might want to reboot your router if possible
[02:23] <Zelda> saik: Im not a pro at ubuntu, I have said everything I know.. its still not working?
[02:23] <GSF1200S> Semperfi30, I was asking what video card you have
[02:23] <stond> dan2 did you figure out how to use usb-imagewriter
[02:23] <Zelda> saik: well everythin that I can think of to help you
[02:23] <Saik> Zelda: I haven't moved anything yet, I was just going to run through a few things I have done, and make sure I meet dependencies and such. using the other PC is not fun lol
[02:23] <LedHed> is there a way in gnome to disable workspace switching (or set the number of workspaces to 1)?
[02:24] <Zelda> Saik: well sure I can try to help you as best I can
[02:24] <christos`> anyone have an xbox  360 and when you login on ubuntu with google chrome on the website is says something like security issue
[02:24] <Saik> Zelda, ok, I just assume as not flud the channel with possibly meaningless things
[02:24] <Zelda> Saik: im busy reading on trying to create a server and stuff
[02:24] <stond> are you there dan2
[02:25] <dan2> stond, ok dude, that didn't work, probably because the partition table on the drive got wiped out by this stupid usb image writer
[02:25] <Saik> Zelda: sounds like fun lol
[02:25] <Zelda> Saik: Im excited, but im learning still
[02:25] <julianc> LedHed: right-click on the Workspace Switcher applet on the panel, and go to Properties. It should let you choose the number of workspaces from there.
[02:25] <stond> wait a minute id didnt I promise did it finish doing the writeing
[02:26] <LedHed> julianc, ok thanks.  I didnt think to try that because I removed the applet.
[02:26] <julianc> LedHed: Then, if you want, remove the Workspace Switcher applet from the panel.
[02:26] <Saik> Zela: it's above my head to do stuff  like that
[02:26] <Saik> Zelda: it's above my head to do stuff  like that
[02:26] <Zela> Saik, what?
[02:26] <Semperfi30> I think I fixed my internet now..........
[02:26] <Zela> oh lol :D

[02:28] <Zela> lol
[02:28] <LinuxGuy2009> I'm wondering how to use the package called Conduit to syn folders between two machines on a local network. How do I do that? I think thats one of the features on the description.
[02:28] <dan2> stond, I'm going to try my approach this time, thank you, which involves a bootable partition on the partition table, a vfat partition that takes up the disk, and copying the contents of the iso to said partition
[02:28] <julianc> HHX: I recommend starting with the Ubuntu Server Guide <https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/>.

[02:40] <edbian> noel_, Correct me if I'm wrong channel but I don't think you do anything differently because it's windows 7 and not vista or xp.

[02:48] <julianc> magik: Xubuntu uses GTK for its themes (for the most part), so the setup is somewhat similar.

[03:05] <moes> LeNs^, K3B would be better
[03:05] <LinuxGuy2009> koshari: I could. Its just that this app is supposed to be able to sync lots more than just files. Like app settings and lots more.
[03:05] <LeNs^> Ivis, using k3b on gnome?
[03:06] <koshari> LinuxGuy2009: app settings are files
[03:06] <koshari> Ivis why not?

[03:17] <pure_hate> xomp, tar -cf - junk > junk.gz
[03:17] <stond> ok just a sec

[03:17] <xomp> pure_hate, thanks but does that do maximum compression on the directory?
[03:18] <godricbrutus> acerimmer_: os x can't see it easy
[03:18] <godricbrutus> acerimmer_: i mean either*
[03:18] <pure_hate> xomp, you should look at rar, it compresses more than tar
[03:18] <timothy> Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I've been having: my cd drive worked last week, but now, mysteriously, it has stopped working.  Have you guys ever heard of this?
[03:18] <acerimmer_> godricbrutus: so win7/osx/ubuntu then?
[03:18] <godricbrutus> acerimmer_: yes
[03:18] <xomp> pure_hate, what about bzip?
[03:19] <acerimmer_> godricbrutus: so you win7; does it also have a recovery partition (Dell does)
[03:19] <unop> xomp,  tar cf - dir/ | bzip2 -9 > archive.tbz
[03:19] <godricbrutus> acerimmer_: i can boot into windows and os x fine via easybscd, but the ubuntu part of it wont take. i can boot into ubuntu using 'super grub boot'
[03:19] <godricbrutus> acerimmer_: no it doesnt have one. it's a custom oc
[03:19] <xomp> unop, cheers :)
[03:19] <pure_hate> xomp, Just do both
[03:20] <unop> pure_hate, tar doesn't compress (by default) actually - unless you use a filter like gzip or bzip
[03:20] <godricbrutus> acerimmer_: i deleted the 'system reserved' partition for 7
[03:20] <acerimmer_> godricbrutus: got it.  I'll share the tutorial i posted on setting mine up.  that said, my grub SHOWS osx but won't boot it.
[03:20] <pure_hate> unop, I am aware of that
[03:20] <godricbrutus> acerimmer_: ok, ill give it a try
[03:21] <pure_hate> rar is still better compression
[03:21] <stond> magik are you there
[03:21] <unop> pure_hate, well, the command you gave him didn't apply any filter.
[03:22] <acerimmer_> godricbrutus: ok here tis.  FWIW, it's still running strong.  no crashes on any of the OS.   http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=212837
[03:22] <pure_hate> unop, your right I forgot the second part
[03:22] <stond> are you there magik
[03:22] <xomp> unop, is it possible to upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04?
[03:22] <godricbrutus> acerimmer_: thanks. i'll try it.brb
[03:22] <Tarnoss> !list
[03:22] <stond> xomp I now how to upgrade
[03:22] <noel_> whats a good program for ubuntu for recording online tv streming? thanks
[03:23] <superjoe> when I connect to a network, ubuntu puts a domain and search line in my /etc/resolv.conf which slows down my dns resolving by a lot
[03:23] <superjoe> how do I prevent this?
[03:23] <Flannel> xomp: Yes, but not directly.  You need to go 8.10 > 9.04 > 9.10 > 10.04
[03:23] <mouka> How do I extend a command on more than one line?
[03:23] <onetinsoldier> mouka: \

[03:23] <onetinsoldier> you're welcome

[03:23] <stond> I didnt
[03:23] <xomp> Flannel, ouch, I'm thinking of upgrading my Ubuntu VPS to the latest but I have so many websites running off of it that if the upgrade should have problems it would mean months of work for me :/
[03:23] <Flannel> stond: 8.04 can be upgraded directly to 10.04, but 8.10 isn't supported
[03:24] <julianc> superjoe: depends on how the DHCP server on your network is set up.
[03:24] <stond> I went to 8.10 staight to 10.04
[03:24] <greezmunkey> superjoe: what line?
[03:24] <stond> thats what I meant sorry
[03:24] <Flannel> xomp: You should stick to the LTS releases (8.04, and now 10.04), since you can upgrade every ~2 years (and they're supported for 3 or 5)
[03:24] <superjoe> all I know is that if I comment out everything except the "nameserver" lines, my dns resolving is much faster
[03:24] <w83> When I start the system, ubuntu 10.04, with external monitor plugged in everything runs smooth, but when I plug it while the system is already running I can't make it display anything :( any fix for that ?
[03:24] <xomp> Flannel, is there a way to find out what version I have? I know it's 8 something but am not sure
[03:24] <stond> I was using 8.04 then went to 10.04
[03:24] <Flannel> xomp: lsb_release -a
[03:25] <stond> xomd there is a easier way
[03:25] <unop> stond, that kind of direct upgrade is not supported

[03:25] <xomp> yay I have LTS :)
[03:25] <stond> unop yes it is
[03:25] <greezmunkey> superjoe: in resolv.conf - what kind of lines are being added? Do you have an example.
[03:25] <superjoe> oh yeah I do

[03:26] <magik> yo
[03:26] <jasper> is there a way to go from 7.10 to 10.04 in one upgrade?
[03:26] <IdleOne> jasper: no
[03:26] <stond> whats up magik
[03:26] <Flannel> jasper: Upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, and then 8.04 to 10.04
[03:26] <acerimmer_> stond: exactly.  LTS to LTS releases are directly upgradeable.
[03:26] <julianc> I think that takes two upgrades.
[03:26] <jasper> that takes forever T.T
[03:26] <jasper> lol
[03:26] <Flannel> jasper: If two takes forever, one takes half-forever :)
[03:27] <xomp> IdleOne, after I have a backup, how would I initiate the upgrade to 10.04?
[03:27] <jrib> jasper: just do a fresh install then, it's faster anyway
[03:27] <iAgree> acerimmer: i

[03:27] <stond> I was tring to tell someone that because they are both LTS releases
[03:27] <superjoe> greezmunkey, so obviously I just want my router to be my dns server
[03:27] <acerimmer_> iAgree: that's what SHE... nevermind.  what's up.
[03:27] <iAgree> what was that thing that you said about grub????
[03:27] <superjoe> because it will talk to cox if it doesn't know already

[03:33] <greezmunkey> superjoe: edit your connection profile, and enter your dns servers manually, it should allow you to do that. Also, enter a second server 8.8.8.8, and a third 4.2.2.2
[03:33] <greezmunkey> superjoe: obviously the access points ip would be first.

[03:34] <IdleOne> stond: just because something works does not mean it is the correct and recommended way
[03:34] <Guest20334> how can I go about installing a vm on my computer
[03:34] <tonsofpcs> using a vm system
[03:34] <tonsofpcs> like #vmware
[03:34] <julianc> Or VirtualBox, from Oracle.
[03:34] <dylan-m> actually, this is mailing list material. Carry on :)
[03:34] <tonsofpcs> or qemu or ........
[03:35] <greezmunkey> superjoe: in network manager, select DHCP addresses only option to allow for entering manual dns.
[03:35] <IdleOne> stond: please keep in mind that you are giving advice to a user who stated he has client websites running off the machine he needs to upgrade. Please make sure that when you give advice it is the recommended way of doing things in Ubuntu. Even though we are volunteers we still have to be careful :)
[03:36] <stond> Idoleone typing updatemanger -d opens the upgrade manger then you should be able to upgrade the distro
[03:36] <stond> I meant typing updatemanager -d
[03:36] <superjoe> greezmunkey, hey cool, this is nice. your 8.8.8.8 etc ip numbers were just examples right
[03:36] <greezmunkey> superjoe: I never lie.

[03:45] <Guest97835> i would like to ask again whats the best program for recording online tv streaming for ubuntu thanks
[03:45] <pipegeek> Running lucid here.  It seems that, post-upgrade, X applications are wrong about the location of the border between my two monitors
[03:45] <danLe> cuz i have netbook
[03:45] <greezmunkey> superjoe: you should try to use the closest one to you that you can find, with google, level3, etc as backups.
[03:45] <Flannel> xomp: right, you need to use update-manager-core.  Please read this first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended)
[03:45] <bastidrazor> stond: glx-dock == cairo-dock ,it is in the repositories
[03:45] <danLe> and it loads main menu
[03:45] <danLe> but freezes on loading screen
[03:45] <pipegeek> and are drawing it a pixel to the right.  What determines this, and how can it be fixed?
[03:45] <danLe> becuase of kernil panic
[03:45] <xomp> Flannel, ah ok, I see that for server upgrades sorry
[03:45] <stond> xomp I am sorry try this update-manger -d
[03:45] <superjoe> greezmunkey, ok thanks for the tip
[03:45] <magik> Hey guys, i really need someone to help me. I often have two terminals open on my desktop most of the time. One for ubuntu irc and one for another irc. But it's annoying when i keep having to start up the terminals and write all the stuff. Is there any way i can make two terminals open and connect to the ircs of my choice on startup? Thanks in advance!
[03:46] <Flannel> xomp: No need to be sorry, but there's other info on that page that's important for you to know before upgrading :)
[03:46] <greezmunkey> superjoe: np, rock on :)
[03:46] <Guest97835> hello! i would like to ask again whats the best program for recording online tv streaming for ubuntu thanks
[03:46] <onetinsoldier> Guest97835: don't know really. maybe mythtv?
[03:46] <ChogyDan> magik: why not make a script/hotkey?
[03:46] <onetinsoldier> !mythtv
[03:46] <magik> How would i do that chogydan?
[03:47] <ChogyDan> magik: I don't know specifics, but what is the command you use to start the irc?
[03:47] <onetinsoldier> !mythbuntu | Guest97835
[03:47] <magik> i use two
[03:47] <danLe> acerimmer_ : any clue?
[03:48] <magik> one is /connect irc.ubuntu.com then i have to do /join #ubuntu to join the channel
[03:48] <ChogyDan> magik: how do you start irc though?
[03:48] <magik> i open a terminal
[03:48] <acerimmer_> danLe: some thoughts.  what is your computer?  32 or 64 bit?  AMD or intel chipset
[03:48] <magik> and type those commands
[03:48] <stond> xomp are you there
[03:48] <ChogyDan> magik: a gnome-terminal?
[03:49] <magik> yeah
[03:49] <ChogyDan> magik: Ive no idea.  I didn't know gnome-terminal could do irc.  It certianly doesn't seem to be working here
[03:49] <danLe> 32 bit intel
[03:50] <Guest97835> how about when i open a tv streaming in firefox then i want to record it like audacity does for radio straming is thre any program to directly record the streaming? sory for my english
[03:50] <magik> ChogyDan, I can't remember exactly what i did. Google it. Try to look along the lines of irssi << that's what the package was called.
[03:50] <magik> brb testing
[03:50] <acerimmer_> danLe: and you're using teh desktop installation?
[03:50] <venky_> hi

[03:52] <danLe> acerimmer_ i think i might have found a solution
[03:52] <jsilva> any help?
[03:52] <Stormx2> Guest97835: If it's flash based then you're probably out of luck, though some players dump video data to /tmp

[03:53] <acerimmer_> danLe: good luck then.  enjou linux
[03:53] <Stormx2> danLe: Right click desktop > Change Desktop Background. Add an image file with "add", then select it. Voila
[03:53] <ChogyDan> magik: irssi is the irc client.  I think you just want to configure that

[03:53] <Ivis> how to set up noveau driver?
[03:53] <AndroUser> Ahoy-hoy
[03:53] <greezmunkey> ChogyDan: i donno, it was like irssi...or something.
[03:53] <magik> I still don't understand guys.
[03:54] <magik> How would i get it to stat up?
[03:54] <AndroUser> Installing Xplane.  Asks for libOpenAL.
[03:54] <venky_> It worked the first time. When I tried changing the key "computer_icon_name" it throws the error
[03:54] <ChogyDan> magik: I can't help further, as I use pidgin
[03:54] <magik> I see
[03:54] <magik> ChogyDan, what's the irc details for irssi?
[03:55] <jsilva> is there a configuration file where could be disabled the wallpaper image option?
[03:55] <bastidrazor> magik: go to the link i gave you. it will help you understand a few things about irssi
[03:55] <AndroUser> Installed Openal.so1.  I run a LDD but it says its not installed!

[03:55] <venky_> hi, I have a problem with gconf-editor and keys for Desktop.
[03:55] <Stormx2> AndroUser: Try ldconfig to rebuild your libraries cache.
[03:55] <bastidrazor> magik: press Pg Up
[03:55] <greezmunkey> magik: use the page up/down keys
[03:56] <AndroUser> So whats with that? I think i have to make a virtual link  but im not sure to where
[03:56] <magik> oh cool thanks
[03:56] <magik> cheers
[03:56] <dan2> man this sucks
[03:57] <greezmunkey> magik: docs are on your system, should be around here, if your irssi version is differant, then the directory will be too, but this should get you close: /usr/share/doc/irssi-0.8.13/manual.txt
[03:57] <dan2> turbo boost doesn't work for me on my ubuntu laptop i7
[03:57] <magik> thanks a lot
[03:57] <AndroUser> Stormx2 thanks, but it didnt seem to do anything
[03:57] <Guest97835> any guide for recording online tv streaming for firfox. thanks
[03:58] <Stormx2> AndroUser, what are you trying to do which requires this library, btw?
[03:58] <greezmunkey> magik: the docs for nearly all packages on your system can be found in /use/share/doc! A lot of people overlook that resource.
[03:58] <magik> yeah
[03:58] <magik> thanks
[03:58] <magik> do you think what i need will be in there?
[03:58] <AndroUser> Install Xplane
[03:58] <magik> i doubt it...
[03:59] <greezmunkey> magik: what are you looking for
[03:59] <magik> Well
[03:59] <Stormx2> AndroUser, http://wiki.x-plane.com/Linux_Installation_Walkthrough
[03:59] <supercom32> When you use the command "SSH" it connects you to a shell. How do you use SSH to do VNC for instance instead?
[04:00] <AndroUser> Stormx2, im up to the point of checking for installed dependancies.  It doesnt see openal for some reason with LDD
[04:00] <magik> Greezmunkey. I always when I boot up my xubuntu i always open two terminals and join my two favorite IRC servers. But I'm a pretty lazy guy and i was wondering. How could i make it so it automatically joins the servers or atleasts opens the irsii on startup?
[04:00] <greezmunkey> supercom32: look here: http://bobpeers.com/linux/vnc_ssh.php
[04:00] <greezmunkey> supercom32: there are other guides on the net as well :)
[04:01] <Stormx2> supercom32, there are a few guides for VNC over SSH on t'internet. Have you tried there?
[04:01] <Guest97835> online tv streaming recorder for ubuntu anyone. thanks
[04:01] <supercom32> stormx2: I've seen some vauge postings on doing it, but nothing very concrete. Perhaps I'm not using the right search terms :/
[04:01] <Guest41577> Im new to this IRC thing
[04:01] <edbian> Guest41577, How do you like it?
[04:01] <IMTheNachoMan> I have BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes but im still not getting any boot up logs...any ideas?
[04:02] <Guest41577> Its pretty kool
[04:02] <Guest41577> I've been using linux for a toal of 3 months, I'm dual booting
[04:02] <Stormx2> IMTheNachoMan: You should get boot logs by default. Try `dmesg` or have a look in /var/log/messages
[04:02] <greezmunkey> magik: opening the irc on start would be a function of irssi, and can easily be done. Ubuntu Gnome can be "instructed" to open programs when gdm starts. I don't know about xubuntu, but it can probably do it as well.
[04:02] <stond> xomp please tell me didi you try what i suggested
[04:02] <IMTheNachoMan> Stormx2: i want the startup logs, the things that show services starting and what not

[04:06] <onetinsoldier> lol
[04:06] <xomp> stond,  [21:44] <xomp> Flannel, correct, ssh access only
[04:06] <xomp> I mentioned it you just didn't see it :/
[04:06] <greezmunkey> magik: regarding opening an irc channel on starting irssi, that would be in the config script ~/.irssi/config - and possibly would require a script in !/.irssi/scripts
[04:06] <stond> oh ok I am sorry then
[04:07] <stond> did you figure it out
[04:07] <xomp> yeah, I got it going

[04:08] <Stormx2> jsilva, how did you do that?
[04:08] <edbian> jsilva, Did you manually "disable" them or are they simply not working?
[04:08] <jsilva> well, It started with the bug  #424511

[04:08] <Fandekasp> hi
[04:09] <Stormx2> IMTheNachoMan, time server (according to first google result)
[04:09] <venky_> Hi would someone tell me what is the type for the variable computer_icon_name for the key  /aps/nautilus/desktop
[04:09] <jsilva> edbian: My Ubuntu has the bug 424511, I solved (temporarly) but, then, I haven't any image working
[04:09] <Fandekasp> how can I copy a file into an inexistant directory (so I would like to create the directory while copying the file into it) ?
[04:09] <godricbrutus> still cant get it to work
[04:09] <IMTheNachoMan> Stormx2: ah, ty
[04:10] <edbian> Fandekasp, Are you scripting or something?  I think you have to create the folder first :(  rsync but sort of wrap it up all neat and clean in one stop.  Not sure though.
[04:10] <godricbrutus> easybcd can't boot into ubuntu. i tried sudo grub-install --force /dev/sda5, but it still doesnt boot into ubuntu.
[04:11] <Stormx2> venky_: It's empty on my system, but I'd assume it's a string if you wanted to set it
[04:12] <stond> xomp did you figure it out
[04:12] <Fandekasp> edbian, yes, it's for a challenge. It should be possible, an attribute that I don't know
[04:12] <godricbrutus> Stormx2: haha, havent seen you here in a while
[04:12] <Stormx2> godricbrutus: I can't remember ever having seen you!
[04:12] <venky_> thanks Stormx2... However, it is displayed as integer here on my PC when using gconf-editor
[04:12] <godricbrutus> Stormx2: just sent you an IM
[04:12] <edbian> Fandekasp, I don't think it is...  I ran into the same problem for a little program I wrote a couple months ago.  I had to create the folders first.  If you find another way please let me know!
[04:12] <venky_> but gconfd expects it as a string and throws an exception.
[04:13] <xomp> stond, can you please stop highlighting my name? I have it figured out man.. it's upgrading as we speak. A bit annoying with all the name highlights... :/
[04:13] <greezmunkey> Fandekasp: uucp can do that, but it has been *years* since I used it last.
[04:13] <Stormx2> godricbrutus, my smoking buddy is asleep. I want to watch the new Fullmetal Alchemist but he'd kill me if I didn't watch it with him. So I'm killing time until he wakes up.
[04:13] <stond> soory xomp I was just trying to help
[04:13] <Fandekasp> greezmunkey, ok thank you I read the doc :)
[04:13] <DJ_HaMsTa> im connected to an ubuntu machine via VNC and i can see the screen but i dont get any updates, the mouse moves but any action that i take does not display on the client side
[04:13] <godricbrutus> Stormx2: i see. thought you were him
[04:13] <xomp> stond, I know and I appreciate it :)
[04:14] <greezmunkey> Fandekasp: it has a very cryptic command structure, I hope you are good with regular expressions!
[04:14] <blocky> how can I start the wireless network manager?
[04:15] <blocky> rather, how can I access it; it's already running
[04:15] <Stormx2> venky_: it's an integer for me too, but I suspect that's just because it's empty by default.
[04:15] <stond> I am signing off people talk tomorrow
[04:15] <usuario-master> g
[04:17] <blocky> anybody know how to access the wifi  manager?
[04:17] <blocky> I can't get to the systray icon cause my systray is garbled
[04:17] <blocky> or is there a way to access the wifi manager from terminal
[04:18] <Fandekasp> greezmunkey, oh ok .. I just tried http://paste.pocoo.org/show/220225/ , and it failed, normal.
[04:18] <xangua> blocky: system>preferences>conections
[04:18] <edbian> blocky, There are tools to use wifi via the terminal.
[04:18] <xangua> or network conecctions¿¿
[04:19] <edbian> blocky, sudo iwlist scan
[04:19] <Anvoid> is there an interval timer for ubuntu that plays different songs at different time and randomize it? such as an audio player that let's you set songs to play at interval then randomize the play time at certain points in the song, and does shuffle tracks too?
[04:19] <edbian> Anvoid, That is something you would have to write yourself but players like banshee have simply programming languages that make that easier.  Like boo.
[04:20] <greezmunkey> Fandekasp: I didn't say it was going to be easy, and that it has been years since I used it last. Please read into the manual, or find another method. Good luck. :)
[04:20] <Anvoid> edbian: alright, thank you! i'll try to extend w/ python thru plugin
[04:21] <edbian> Anvoid, Good luck!  Sounds like fun! :)

[04:25] <shesaidohyea> hello mf2
[04:26] <mf2> II am currently part of a group that are reinstalling the digital signage at my University
[04:26] <mf2> we are having a small issue regarding the Ubuntu OS
[04:26] <shesaidohyea> mf2: ok
[04:26] <mf2> we need to stop it blanking the screen, we have disabled the power services, set the settings in the perfecns and it still seems to blank the screens out for some reason.
[04:26] <mf2> any ideas?
[04:27] <wise_crypt> !enter
[04:27] <shesaidohyea> mf2: this may sound dumb but did you disable the screensaver
[04:27] <mf2> yep
[04:27] <mf2> sorry ubottu :)
[04:27] <IMTheNachoMan> how do i turn extglob on by default
[04:28] <greezmunkey> mf2: you say screens...like monitors?
[04:28] <mf2> yeah
[04:28] <shesaidohyea> mf2: when you type 'ps ax|grep gnome-screensaver' in a terminal it doesn't yield anything?
[04:29] <mf2> The only problem is we can only make changes on campus, and they block IRC Ports, I know for a fact we have disabled all the screen savers, the power management services. The thing I suspect that could be doing it is the Open Source ATI Driver for it.
[04:29] <greezmunkey> mf2: take a look through this, see if it helps any: http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html
[04:29] <greezmunkey> mf2: or X...
[04:29] <WarCthulhu> mf2: Maybe its the screens themselves :?
[04:30] <mf2> definitely not the screens, we have checked the logs and it is the Machine blanking them.
[04:30] <Stormx2> WarCthulhu, the screens should only turn off if the machine asks them to
[04:30] <shesaidohyea> what logs?
[04:30] <crdlb> mf2: perhaps it's DPMS? http://www.randombugs.com/linux/disable-monitor-standby-xorg-xserver.html
[04:31] <Nick_Meister> hey guys whats the name of the network statistics applet
[04:31] <mf2> that is the logs it appears under the xorg logs
[04:31] <NeoRanger_> wenas!!!
[04:32] <mf2> many thanks for the help, we have a temporary fix in place with an app moving the mouse from time to time to prevent it.
[04:32] <greezmunkey> mf2: did you check the links that were posted?
[04:32] <xomp> Flannel, sorry to bother you again but I lost network connection to my server while it was forever grinding on Calculating the changes
[04:33] <xomp> Flannel, I'm back in again but sitting at the prompt and not sure how to conjure up that screen to see if it's progressed or what have you
[04:33] <Flannel> xomp: You should run it in screen ;)
[04:33] <xomp> ah yeah :/
[04:33] <mf2> Yeah, the problem is we wont be able to try it until we are on campus on Tuesday, we have had to work with the IT Department at the University and one of their rules is no External VPN. Thus the fact we did not install Hamachi to get at them whenever we need access.
[04:33] <Flannel> xomp: do `ps aux | grep upgrade` and see if it's running
[04:33] <Flannel> xomp: I don't believe it would be
[04:34] <xomp> ps aux | grep upgrade
[04:34] <xomp> root     26398  0.0  0.1   1692   496 pts/0    S+   07:33   0:00 grep upgrade
[04:34] <deokanon> hello guys, complete buntu noob here, i need help with fixing an issue i have with desktop cube. when i try initiating the effect the whole screen turns dark... ??? is there a way to tweak ccsm to show the normal desktop cube.... it's also the same thing with expo
[04:34] <xomp> I should install screens and do it again heh
[04:34] <Flannel> xomp: yeah, I would.
[04:34] <xwl> hi~i have some question about gcc....i use the (ubuntu 9.04)gcc4.1 build my project, it can work....since i upgrade my ubuntu to 9.10...the gcc4.4 can't build, it has error....i can't figure out the error how to generate
[04:34] <xomp> Flannel, hehe ok thanks!
[04:35] <mf2> We are going to be reinstalling with a completely open source solution we found the other week. Even allows for an iPhone App. Going to be launching under a brand doing Digital Signage for Student Unions. Proudly supporting open source. Once we start making money, we will donate money to the program makers :)
[04:36] <greezmunkey> mf2: what application?
[04:37] <M3nt0r> Olá

[04:39] <godricbrutus> i can't seem to get ubuntu to boot via easybcd. i tried doing sudo grub-intstall --force /dev/sda5, but it doesnt seem to be taking. http://pastebin.com/MB2kCHAT i tried everything i saw in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 , but still no luck
[04:39] <greezmunkey> mf2: cool, I'll check it out - maybe it would work for call center notifications, which is something I can use. Thanks for the tip, good luck :)
[04:39] <mf2> many thanks.
[04:40] <wildbat> godricbrutus, you don't install grub in sda5 ~ but sda
[04:41] <godricbrutus> wildbat, wont that get rid of my windows boot?
[04:41] <adelie42> depends on what you want, but typically not
[04:41] <wildbat> godricbrutus, yes it will but you can have grub2 boot windows
[04:42] <mf2> its been hell getting the screens in to working order for a short time we have 16-18 of them running at the moment 99% of them on Windows 2000
[04:43] <Toaday> I am having Samba performance issues with Ubuntu 10.04 as the server and XP/Vista/7 as clients.
[04:43] <deokanon> hi everyone... i need big help... anybody knows how to fix a desktop cube issue... when the effect is initiated the screen turns black? what can i do?
[04:43] <Toaday> turn it off
[04:44] <deokanon> @toaday... were you talking to me :D
[04:44] <Toaday> deokanon, yeah, was joking
[04:44] <deokanon> LOL
[04:44] <deokanon> fun
[04:44] <Gnimsh> Can someon eplease help me find a good irc client for ubuntu?
[04:44] <Toaday> Do you have the restricted drivers indtalled?
[04:45] <deokanon> konversation
[04:45] <Gnimsh> I've used kvirc and konversation and they both eat up my ram like crazy
[04:45] <Toaday> Gnimsh, xchat roolz imho tbqh
[04:45] <Gnimsh> konversation is running the akonadi server, which it never did before.
[04:45] <IMTheNachoMan> is there a way to get ubuntu to use gmail for sending mail?
[04:45] <Gnimsh> akonadi is the reason my ram is being used up and sowing down the system.
[04:45] <phoebus> Gnimsh, I like xchat.
[04:45] <DJ_HaMsTa> What default client does ubuntu use for its VNC settions ?
[04:45] <deokanon> @toaday hmm, that should have been the first thing to check
[04:45] <Gnimsh> Toaday, I'm in xchat right now. It's currently not accept DCC attempts
[04:45] <CARAM> so I modified my xorg.conf
[04:45] <deokanon> @toaday, thanks for the suggestion
[04:46] <Toaday> no prob
[04:46] <Toaday> good luck with it
[04:46] <CARAM> and added the mode option
[04:46] <Exodus1> how do i make it so when i update it sticks only with lucid?
[04:46] <deokanon> @toaday, i'm so used to installing ubuntu without having to worry about driver and stuff
[04:46] <Toaday> Have any experience with Samba issues?
[04:46] <CARAM> at the resolution I wanted to use, but it didn't change anything
[04:46] <crdlb> DJ_HaMsTa: vinagre is the default client, vino is the default server
[04:46] <Exodus1> i plan on staying with lucid for the "Long term"
[04:46] <Tidus> Gnimsh: i prefer irssi
[04:46] <Gnimsh> IMTheNachoMan, check this out: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/set-gmail-as-default-mail-client-in-ubuntu/
[04:46] <deokanon> @toaday, i know how to install it and create shared folders... that's about it
[04:47] <Gnimsh> I don't wanna go that far, Tidus
[04:47] <Tidus> that is, if you dont mind doing your irc from terminal
[04:47] <Toaday> I'm having speed issues
[04:47] <IMTheNachoMan> Gnimsh: ubuntu server, no X
[04:47] <Tidus> after that i'd say konversation
[04:48] <deokanon> oh well i'm out
[04:48] <randal_> How do you enable a emerald theme i have the theme but how do you turn it on
[04:48] <Roasted> Does anybody use shotwell? I'm curious if I can add my own folders on the left navigational side instead of the pre-defined date folders?
[04:48] <chalcedony> does anyone know if anything on linux will search inside open office word docs?
[04:48] <xangua> randal_: try emerald --replace
[04:49] <Toaday> I am having Samba performance issues with Ubuntu 10.04 as the server and XP/Vista/7 as clients.
[04:49] <bricky> hey guys
[04:49] <Gnimsh> oops
[04:49] <Gnimsh> laptop came unplugged
[04:49] <randal_> xangua, how do i make it pernament
[04:49] <chalcedony> hi bricky
[04:50] <bricky> hi.. is there any ubuntu utility that monitors your cpu temp? :
[04:50] <ottertastic> hi there
[04:50] <chalcedony>  does anyone know if anything on linux will search inside open office word docs?
[04:50] <xangua> randal_: do you hace compiz setting manager installed'¿
[04:50] <greezmunkey> bricky: lm-sensors, if your cpu supports it.
[04:50] <GSF1200S> bricky: lm_sensors, conky
[04:50] <CARAM> bricky, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=monitor+temps+in+ubuntu
[04:50] <bricky> greezmunkey, GSF12005 Thank you
[04:51] <GSF1200S> conky is just a display for system stats, lm_sensors actually detects the temps if supported
[04:51] <chalcedony> :)
[04:51] <bricky> CAPAM: sweet, thanks dude
[04:51] <xangua> chalcedony: openoffice, aboword, koofice¿¿
[04:51] <randal_> xangua, ya]
[04:51] <xangua> abiword*
[04:51] <Toaday> I am having Samba performance issues with Ubuntu 10.04 as the server and XP/Vista/7 as clients.
[04:51] <GSF1200S> bricky, np
[04:51] <Toaday> I've tried googling my issue, haven't turned anything up
[04:51] <Gnimsh> For those who use konversation, I'd like to know if you have any troubles with akonadi server?
[04:51] <chalcedony> xand, those are word processors.. how to find text i lost someplace?
[04:51] <Gnimsh> Ideally i'd like to shut it off entirely
[04:51] <ottertastic> hey, i have index.php in /var/www for apache, does not open in firefox when i do http://localhost
[04:51] <julio> i'm unable to switch icon themes 80% of them show the base gnome grey icons, ideas?
[04:51] <ottertastic> and i have php installed as well
[04:52] <xangua> randal_: open it and enter to the 'window decoration' plugin, then twere it says 'command' you replace it with 'emerald --replace'
[04:52] <xangua> http://img188.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tmpafpgnv.png
[04:53] <Toaday> I am having Samba performance issues with Ubuntu 10.04 as the server and XP/Vista/7 as clients.
[04:53] <onetinsoldier> julio: what icon theme gives you this problem?
[04:53] <chalcedony> Toaday, there's a whole channel for samba
[04:53] <Toaday> Good to know!
[04:53] <Toaday> What channel is it, chalcedony?
[04:54] <Exodus1> #samba?
[04:54] <chalcedony> there's one for open office too.. but doggone it i hang out there and nobody ever heard of a way to search it for text you lost.
[04:54] <chalcedony> Toaday, #samba
[04:54] <Toaday> Thanks
[04:55] <Gost> i was wondering if anyone knows any thing about taking four computers, just the towers, and linking them together to make a little server
[04:55] <Stormx2> xangua: What theme/iconset are you using?
[04:55] <chalcedony> linux is slightly a stepchild for the open office people.. searching in open office docs isn't something they do
[04:56] <chalcedony> Gost, got a hub?
[04:56] <merma> is grub hidden when booting ubuntu? I have windows 7 installed and I just installed ubuntu 10.04, it boot straight into ubuntu no trace of win7, do I need to edit grub2?
[04:56] <xangua> Stormx2: gnome colors icon theme(is in the repositories) http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/ and the theme is from http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/
[04:56] <Gost> no, my girl friends dad has these old computers kickin around that i want to take and put to some use, so i have nothing more than the towers... he just told me today i could have them
[04:57] <chalcedony> Gost, nice nice.. what kinds of drives are in them?
[04:57] <xangua> merma: are you sure you didn't deleted windows when installing ubuntu¿
[04:57] <julio> onetinsoldier, blankon, dropline neu, dropline nuovo, gperfection2, humility, suede... they change some icons, but not folder icons...
[04:57] <Gost> i havent gotten a chance to look at them yet, hes droppin them off tues after the holiday and he comes into town for work
[04:57] <Stormx2> xangua, do you know the name, per chance?
[04:57] <Gost> i just want to know if im wasting my time putting in the effort or not
[04:57] <merma> xangua, i deleted the recovery partition of 200mb , the windows partition is intact
[04:58] <BenefitX> i forgot my passowrd
[04:58] <Gost> and i got another emachine today for 100 bucks that i want to use to manage all of them
[04:58] <b0nn> how do I stop a service from starting at boot time?
[04:58] <wildbat> merma, run update-grub then
[04:58] <b0nn> eg service network-manager stop
[04:59] <xangua> Stormx2: pucko lucid http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2ndu87
[04:59] <davidov009> Does anyone know how to create a two-stage launcher with sudo capabilities? I want to create one, but I haven't gotten it to work yet. Here is what I want:
[04:59] <davidov009> # sync
[04:59] <merma> wildbat, done already
[04:59] <davidov009> # echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[04:59] <davidov009> executed in that order.
[04:59] <FloodBot3> davidov009: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:59] <temporarytao_> b0nn, menu > system > preferences > startup applications
[04:59] <wildbat> merma,  hmmm can you mount your win7 partition in ubuntu then ?
[04:59] <Guest48179> gud am is there any program for online tv straming recorder for firefox
[04:59] <merma> wildbat, yes
[05:00] <bastidrazor> b0nn: sudo mv /etc/init/network-manager.conf /etc/init/network-manager.conf-disabled
[05:00] <wildbat> merma, and ubuntu failed to dectect it ? Oo...... well you may need to manually add it then
[05:01] <merma> wildbat, what file do I edit ?
[05:01] <b0nn> bastidrazor: that's easier, thanks
[05:01] <chalcedony> Gost, sure you can do lots of stuff, get your hands on them and see what's inside
[05:01] <onetinsoldier> julio: roger. i'm really not to sure. have you considered renaming your ~/.icons and ~/.themes directories and trying again?
[05:01] <Gost> sweet deal
[05:02] <Gost> i just went on unemployment too so ill have lots of time to mess with them
[05:02] <onetinsoldier> julio: since they do seem to work to some degree, i take it that if you do the following command --> dpkg -L gnome-humility-icon-theme | grep index   ...that you get the following output --> /usr/share/icons/Humility/index.theme  ..but thought maybe i should check anyway
[05:04] <wildbat> merma, in terminal do :  sudo pico /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[05:04] <julio> onetinsoldier, indeed thats the output... is that right?
[05:04] <davidov009> Anybody know how to create launchers that will execute terminal programs in sequential order?
[05:05] <temporarytao_> davidov009, i think you can make a script to do that for you and link to that script
[05:05] <merma> wildbat, done
[05:05] <onetinsoldier> julio: yes.. that's correct
[05:06] <edbian> davidov009, You can only write a launcher that can run one command.  Make a script that runs all the commands for you and then a launcher to run the script.
[05:06] <davidov009> temporarytao_ How can I do that? I am brand new in Ubuntu, and have only been using it for say 2 weeks.
[05:06] <Angel-SL> Hi, is it possible to have ubuntu disallow the mounting of a partition?
[05:06] <edbian> davidov009, Need help?
[05:06] <chalcedony>  i KNOW i typed a bunch of stuff last night before i went to bed. this evening i went to work on it and its not there in the docs i was working on. i'm on ubuntu 9.04 .. is it possible to search for text inside open office (other than on the page you have open)?
[05:06] <onetinsoldier> julio: have you installed any icon sets or themes from source? as in a .tar.gz file?
[05:06] <edbian> Angel-SL, Yes, by creating an /etc/fstab entry for that partition.
[05:06] <wildbat> merma, now press ctrl + shift + T to open a new tab ~ and run this : sudo blkid
[05:07] <Angel-SL> edbian: as in disallow mounting but still allow r/w to the block device?
[05:07] <Dizkonnekted> hi room - can anyone help me solve a problem with xorg (and no desktop effects enabled) randomly pushing up my CPU usage (intel dual core 3.4Ghz)
[05:07] <julio> onetinsoldier, nope... all from repos
[05:07] <wildbat> merma, can you locate your win7 partition UUID in there?
[05:07] <davidov009> Just need help writing the script. Will probably be able to link the script to the launcher just fine.
[05:07] <Gnimsh> !kraemder Massaquoi, Hans - Neger, Neger (german).pdf
[05:08] <Gnimsh> oops sorry
[05:08] <edbian> Angel-SL, You can make it so only root can mount it or anyone can mount it.  The permissions on the drive are completely unrelated to who can / can't mount it.
[05:08] <merma> wildbat, yep
[05:08] <edbian> Angel-SL, In short, yes.
[05:08] <supercom32> If I install an Ubuntu ARM build, are all the packages in the repos compatable, or am I given a special ARM repo?
[05:09] <edbian> davidov009, All you have to do to write a script is create a normal text file, start is with #!/bin/sh and mark it executable.  Any more questions?
[05:09] <steven> How do I disable my touchpad in Ubuntu?
[05:09] <wildbat> merma, copy that ~ and now goto http://pastebin.com/YfwLPWVc
[05:09] <edbian> steven, You could remove the module.
[05:09] <xangua> steven: system>peferences>mouse
[05:09] <onetinsoldier> julio: roger. i don't know really. strange. i just tried the 'Nuvola' theme here. worked fine, icons and all
[05:10] <wildbat> merma, copy and paste that in the END of the 40_custom with the correct UUID
[05:10] <merma> wildbat, done
[05:10] <wildbat> merma, save &exit then update grub ~
[05:10] <Angel-SL> ugh, sorry
[05:10] <steven> mousepad opens up a blank textfile
[05:10] <steven> I am on Xubuntu
[05:10] <steven> Xubuntu channel NEVER talks.  I must ask here lol
[05:10] <Doyle> Heres a Q: Compiz installed, Emerald installed, but when selecting themes from Emerald, they do not take effect. I figure I have to select it as the primary theme manager or some such thing, does anyone have the command?
[05:11] <onetinsoldier> julio: have you looked in your ~/.icons and ~/.themes directories? you probably don't have anything in there if you haven't installed any .tar.gz themes/icon sets
[05:11] <xangua> Doyle: emerald --replace
[05:11] <randal_> xangua,  how do you make an emerald theme transparent
[05:11] <julio> onetinsoldier, this weird behaviour started in karmic, i've updated a few days ago and decided to check... and stillhappends :s
[05:11] <Doyle> xangua: thansk, it's just hanging. Does it take long normally?
[05:11] <kpoman> hey guys do you know which one is the main kernel of 9.10 ? because i am upgrading from an eeebuntu distro and now I got an older kernel (2.6.27) which I want to upgrade too
[05:12] <xangua> randal_: i don't use emerald
[05:12] <merma> wildbat, done, it didn't appear in the output as Found though
[05:12] <onetinsoldier> julio: so, you running on an upgrade ?
[05:12] <julio> onetinsoldier, yup 9.04 --> 9.10 --> 10.04 :-P
[05:12] <randal_> Does anyone know how to make emearld theme transparent
[05:12] <wildbat> merma,  it won't ~ we just hardcoded it in the grub.cfg
[05:13] <onetinsoldier> julio: roger that
[05:13] <kpoman> is it linux-generic ? or linux-headers-2.6.31-21-generic ?? or which one ?
[05:13] <Doyle> randal_: you need the gtk2 rgba module, but you better double check.
[05:13] <julio> onetinsoldier, icons folder doesn't have anything but themes has a few subfolders
[05:13] <kpoman> sorry not the headers
[05:13] <wildbat> merma, try to reboot see if you can go to win7
[05:13] <fishcooker> have anyone tried trisquel
[05:13] <kpoman> the image I meant
[05:13] <merma> wildbat, ok i'm going to try
[05:13] <onetinsoldier> julio: roger. consider renaming that directory, then choosing a new theme
[05:13] <Dizkonnekted> hi room - can anyone help me solve a problem with xorg (and no desktop effects enabled) randomly pushing up my CPU usage (intel dual core 3.4Ghz)
[05:13] <randal_> Doyle, i installed that but i cant get it to turn on
[05:13] <greezmunkey> wildbat: nice :)
[05:14] <xangua> Doyle: rgba is only for murrine themes, randal_ you can get emerald themes in http://gnome-look.org/
[05:14] <steven> How do I disable my touchpad in Xubuntu?
[05:14] <wildbat> greezmunkey, hmm @@?
[05:14] <randal_> xangua, i have emearld theme but how do i make it transparent
[05:14] <Dr_Willis> steven:  most laptops have a special key combo that turns off the touchpad.
[05:14] <greezmunkey> steven: is this a laptop?
[05:14] <Doyle> randal_: This is the site I was about to follow. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/RgbaGtkWithPPA/
[05:14] <steven> Yes, Dell XPS M1530
[05:14] <Dr_Willis> randal_:  emerald's theme manager tool can also tweak various features of the themes.
[05:14] <emamma> I love everyone
[05:15] <greezmunkey> steven: you can disable it in the bios
[05:15] <Doyle> thanks xangua
[05:15] <steven> Alright.  Thanks.  I will try that
[05:15] <merma> wildbat, the grub menu doesn't appear at boot
[05:15] <kpoman> do anyone know how I can defort from an eeebuntu to ubuntu mainline ?
[05:15] <merma> wildbat, it goes straight into ubuntu
[05:15] <kpoman> defork
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> steven:  look at the keyboard - theres proberly a FN key and some other keys with special icons on them in the same color as the 'fn' key letters.
[05:16] <xangua> kpoman: install ubuntu on top of eeebuntu
[05:16] <wildbat> merma, hold shift while boot?
[05:16] <merma> wildbat, ok brb
[05:16] <steven> Yes, I see them
[05:16] <kpoman> xangua: I dont have pendrives nor anything right now
[05:16] <klunka_> klunka
[05:16] <Dr_Willis> kpoman:  install 'ubuntu-desktop' package . and it should then install the normal ubuntu
[05:16] <kpoman> xangua: my system is almost fully funcional, however I prefer to keep into ubutnu and not eeebuntu
[05:16] <alex5454> Hi everyone.  I am a complete ubuntu newbie.  Can someone tell me how to create an icon of the applications menu on the bottom pannel?
[05:16] <steven> I am not sure what to hit
[05:17] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: my distro was firstly a eeebuntu, now I have a buggy old kernel ... is there a way to tell ubuntu to go mainline ?
[05:17] <xangua> alex5454: right clic in the panel> add> menu
[05:17] <kpoman> oh
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> alex5454:  right click on panel, add to panel -> some item in that list is the menu (theres like 2 or 3 different menus you can try)
[05:17] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: ok I understood :)
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> kpoman:  i would suggest you do a clean reinstall..
[05:17] <kpoman> it is some kind of virtual
[05:17] <merma> wildbat, nope
[05:17] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: I am in a lack of time to do that :( also dont have pendrive
[05:18] <Dr_Willis> kpoman:  you can try installing ubuntu-desktop but who knows what all is differen tin eebuntu that may mess things up
[05:18] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: right now I am installing linux-generic
[05:18] <alex5454> hey thanks a bunch =)
[05:18] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: and also, is there a way to update to 10.04 from the command line ?
[05:18] <meowbuntu> hi whats the terminal command for  check5sum a iso
[05:19] <wildbat> merma, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[05:19] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: because I killed my X :D also killed the touchpad, but whatever
[05:19] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: but I do have a perfect ssh env
[05:19] <kpoman> :D
[05:19] <Gnimsh> ah much better
[05:19] <Gnimsh> I googled and found I was able to remove the akonadi server without harming konversation
[05:20] <steven> My resolution on the new Ubuntu only works at 1300 something.  Previous resolution was 1400x900 and now that option is no longer available.  Nothing has changed other than the version of Ubuntu

[05:20] <Stormx2> Uhg. All my metacity themes are putting the window controls (maximise etc) on the left hand side. How can I move them to the right?
[05:20] <bazhang> !controls > Stormx2
[05:20] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade | kpoman
[05:21] <onetinsoldier> !controls | Stormx2
[05:21] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: does it cover upgrade from command line ?
[05:21] <onetinsoldier> Stormx2: you can also try some themes other than the default theme
[05:21] <Dizkonnekted> can anyone help me solve a problem with xorg (and no desktop effects enabled) randomly pushing up my CPU usage (intel dual core 3.4Ghz)
[05:21] <meowbuntu> hi whats the terminal command for  check5sum a iso
[05:21] <Dr_Willis> kpoman:  i belive so.. the gui tools just call the proper cli commands.
[05:21] <Dr_Willis> !md5sum | meowbuntu
[05:22] <Stevethepirate> Trying to get my sound card working in linux. The actual sound card has no detailed information (even from Device manager in windows (where it PnP's)), nor does dmesg (that I can see). Any ideas?
[05:22] <Dr_Willis> meowbuntu:  md5sum is the command i recall.
[05:22] <randal_> Is there any way to make a emerald theme transparent
[05:22] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: try --> lshw -C Sound
[05:22] <Dr_Willis> randal_:   the emerald theme manager lets you do all sorts of things. You can tweak existing themes, and even make new ones.
[05:23] <Stevethepirate> Only shows the onboard @ onetinsoldier
[05:23] <wildbat> merma, hmmm the cfg looks fine
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> randal_:  emerald is basically a dead project.
[05:23] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: roger. don't know then. if lshw doesn't show it, then it doesn't exist :P
[05:23] <bnitsua> !xdcc list
[05:23] <Dizkonnekted> meowbuntu,  in terminal navigate tot he directory with the .iso file then  type md5sum nameoffile.iso
[05:24] <meowbuntu> thanks all
[05:24] <Stevethepirate> onetinsoldier: Doesn't lshw just parse data from /proc/ ? So if there is no driver loaded for some hardware, it won't detect at all?
[05:24] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: do you think those are the correct options ? : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades#The%20Debian%20way%20of%20upgrading
[05:25] <wildbat> merma, you boot the PC with the SHIFT hold hold down right? and it run all the way to ubuntu w/o menu?
[05:25] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: you can try... 'sudo lshw | less' and have a look through everything. see if there's anything you didn't see before. in x-windows, you can also use 'gksu lshw-gtk' (but you might need to install lshw-gtk first)
[05:25] <Dr_Willis> kpoman:  no idea. i always do a clean install.
[05:26] <kpoman> Dr_Willis: ok, no problem ... I think I will try that one
[05:26] <merma> wildbat, i pressed shift during the bios loading process, and waited a bit
[05:26] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: you might know more about how it works than i do
[05:27] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: i suppose 'hardinfo' works the same way, or i'd recommend try it i suppose
[05:27] <Stevethepirate> Nothing detected that isn't accounted for.
[05:27] <julio> onetinsoldier, renamed both, no effect :O
[05:27] <wildbat> merma, keep it hold down until a menu or it start loading ubuntu
[05:27] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: this sound card shows up in MS Windows though eh? interesting
[05:27] <merma> wildbat, ill try again
[05:28] <onetinsoldier> julio: roger. you could go to drastic measures short of reinstalling
[05:28] <greezmunkey> wildbat: so hold the space bar from power up, is that supposed to get you into the grub menu?
[05:29] <Stevethepirate> "Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC" listed under Keyboards. ^_^
[05:29] <kpoman> apparently do-release-upgrade does the job
[05:29] <wildbat> greezmunkey, i think is shift never tried spacebar thou
[05:30] <zaerath> Hey guys - I did something with my installation that makes windows 7's bootloader say bootmgr is missing - what can I do? :/
[05:30] <term_oldcomp1> any1 know how one might be able to slipstream a lubuntu install into ubuntu from command line?
[05:30] <bazhang> term_oldcomp1, install lubuntu-desktop
[05:31] <yo_> wildbat, i tried holding shift, i tried both shifts but still nothing
[05:31] <Rioprofano> hola alguien que hable español me puede ayudar??
[05:31] <term_oldcomp1> bazhang: ty
[05:31] <greezmunkey> wildbat: reason I ask is because I tried (both shift, and space actually) on a machine Fraiday and got nothing - but there may be deeper issues with it. Thanks, I'll leave you be.
[05:31] <bazhang> Rioprofano, /join #ubuntu-es
[05:31] <binare_> help
[05:31] <wildbat> greezmunkey, you have a solution yet? yo_  seem to be the case now
[05:32] <onetinsoldier> julio: you could go to drastic measures short of reinstalling fresh and clean, which to me, would be.. to exit out of X-Windows.. at virtual terminal do the following --> rm -rf .cache .config .gconf .gconfd .gnome2* .icons .local .nautilus .themes  ...or something of that nature. you probably get the idea
[05:32] <bastidrazor> julio: or create a new user.
[05:32] <Dizkonnekted> yo_, if your trying to get the boot menu to show, directly after the bios screen displays, press the spacebar or the esc key (10.04) and it will display the menu (if it doesnt hang)
[05:33] <yo_> going to try hat
[05:33] <yo_> that
[05:33] <onetinsoldier> julio: yeah... what bastidrazor said.. test out a new user. see if your theme icons work ok for newly created user
[05:33] <greezmunkey> wildbat: well, that's a machine I installed server on last Friday. It wouldn't boot without the install cd, so I think the grub install failed. I didn't have time to mess with it, and will get inot it on Tuesday.
[05:34] <greezmunkey> s/inot/into
[05:35] <wildbat> greezmunkey, oh ~ yo_'s one do boot but won't have a menu show for him to boot to win7
[05:35] <wildbat> greezmunkey, you can reinstall grub then in that case
[05:35] <saik> Zelda: you still here?
[05:35] <jasper> Anyone know the ubuntu -help channel name?
[05:35] <greezmunkey> wildbat: yeah, I plan to...thanks :)
[05:36] <jasper> Not just "ubuntu"
[05:36] <Dizkonnekted> jasper,  your in it
[05:36] <wise_crypt> jasper: that will be here
[05:36] <jasper> Not hardly, i was in a room earlier, that was ubuntu -new- help or something
[05:36] <jasper> Was a bit different than here lol
[05:37] <jasper> But maybe someone can tell me what the command to pull up my update manager and allow me to update to 10.04
[05:37] <jasper> It currently wont allow me to.
[05:37] <onetinsoldier> jasper: xubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu-offtopic, ubuntu-packaging, ubuntu-devel?
[05:37] <greezmunkey> wildbat: perhaps a console graphics issue from grub? I remember someone here posting a fix where you passed an arguement that killed graphics or something...
[05:38] <onetinsoldier> jasper: well, this is the right channel for that question. what version of ubuntu are you currently running?
[05:38] <bricky> so somebody want to help me out for a while, I need to do some system modifications , if boredom is killing ya i can entertain you with stupid questions.
[05:38] <jasper> 8.04 lts

[05:39] <jimmyz80> Heya, what exactly does Ubuntu One do
[05:39] <Stevethepirate> onetinsoldier: Found an old reference to it, managed to juke it up ^_^ ty.
[05:39] <iantlopp> Is there any software available to take a non-standard HID device and map the keys it uses to keyboard keys?
[05:39] <bricky> like, is there an app which keeps track of recently installed librarys, programs, ?
[05:39] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: oh!?!? so what is it? what did you do?
[05:40] <jasper> i hit alt f2 and typed update-manager --proposed and ran that :) worked like a charm :D
[05:40] <Dizkonnekted> jimmyz80,  ubuntu one is 2GB's of free online storage
[05:40] <jasper> now lets just hope that i can install it, and get flash player to work on 10. . wouldnt work on the others
[05:40] <Stevethepirate> onetinsoldier: It was loading some weird module during modprobe. Just blacklisted the module and it works fine.
[05:40] <bricky> jasper: was that for me?
[05:40] <jimmyz80> Oh, ty
[05:40] <onetinsoldier> bricky: yes.. try looking in the following file --> /var/log/dpkg.log
[05:41] <bricky> onetinsoldier: okay,
[05:41] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: cool! nice work :)
[05:41] <cobra-the-joker> hey guys ... is there is a flavour of ubuntu running enlightenment ?
[05:41] <Spyzer> hi, when i am trying to install   ubuntu10.04-dektop-amd64    it just shows me the usplash screen and doesn't proceed forwards. On Pressing alt+ctrl+F1 "Authntication Failure" is written in many lines repeatedly????
[05:41] <saik> cn someone tell me how to fix this?: http://pastebin.org/295169
[05:42] <onetinsoldier> bricky: if you want to see the actual files that are installed by a package, for command line it's  dpkg -L <package_name>
[05:42] <onetinsoldier> bricky: you can also see them in the Synaptic graphical package manager
[05:42] <Stevethepirate> On a side note, can anyone recommend a decent cli music player? Sick of mplayer ~/Music/Beatles/*
[05:42] <hyatt> hi, i have an ubuntu machine and configured my ethernet interface static with an ip in /etc/network/interfaces. i have a dhcp server running for other machines. on the static machine network manager is not running. after some time it requests an ip-address (checked this with wireshark) even though its ethernet was set to static. any other dhcp stuff maybe running in backround, any idea?
[05:43] <hyatt> ah i also deinstalled all that avahi zeroconf stuff, had problems with that be4 too
[05:43] <bricky> onethinsoldier: Synaptic graphical package manager, and I will write that information down
[05:44] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: mpg123 has been around for years. there's also mpg321
[05:44] <Alucard_> hi

[05:44] <wifinot> !hi | Alucard
[05:44] <Stevethepirate> onetinsoldier: Not really any decent playlisting/search.
[05:45] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: ahh, i see
[05:45] <canonical> olo
[05:45] <Stevethepirate> I essentially want foobar in cli, there must be some sort of ncurses jol that will be fine :/
[05:45] <canonical> lol
[05:45] <greezmunkey> hyatt: can you post kern.log and syslog
[05:45] <canonical> que chat feio
[05:45] <canonical> ops

[05:45] <bricky> also, is there an app which displays thumbnails around your highlighted taskbar programs?
[05:45] <wifinot> anyone know why my laptop's w200 wifi card is not showing up in the lshw, it last worked in windows before installing ubuntu 10.04?
[05:45] <meowbuntu> !kjfb
[05:45] <Stevethepirate> There is a compiz-fusion feature which allows that bricky.
[05:46] <bricky> Stevethepirate: Thanks the last time I used linux, it was on a virtual machine hopefully I can get it up and running  :)
[05:46] <Dizkonnekted> can anyone help me solve a problem with xorg (and no desktop effects enabled) randomly pushing up my CPU usage (intel dual core 3.4Ghz)
[05:46] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: i'm just trying to come up with something for you, but i've never tried these. anyway, another suggestion of mine would be.. xmms2-client-cli
[05:47] <Laserbeak43> Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package sun-java6-jdk has no installation candidate
[05:47] <Laserbeak43> how do i fix this?

[05:48] <aitaix> rhythmbox is great but no playlist support :(

[05:49] <wifinot> anyone know why my laptop's compaq w200 orinoco wifi card is not showing up in the lshw, it last worked in windows before installing ubuntu 10.04? iwconfig shows no wifi extensions
[05:49] <onetinsoldier> not so sure that command from that bot factoid should be used in Lucid
[05:50] <greezmunkey> wifinot: orinoco pcmcia ?
[05:50] <greezmunkey> wifinot: I'm sure.
[05:50] <Laserbeak43> onetinsoldier, wise_crypt my problem is probably im lookng in the karmic repo...
[05:50] <Spyzer> ubuntu 10.04 desktop amd64 intallation problems??
[05:50] <wifinot> greezmunkey: its built in the computer, lspci doesn't show it either
[05:51] <greezmunkey> wifinot: wow, how old is that lappy?
[05:51] <wise_crypt> Laserbeak43: than do the command
[05:51] <wifinot> greezmunkey: ~2002-2003
[05:51] <Laserbeak43> on it thanks
[05:52] <Gost> how difficult (or worth it) is it to have a desktop output to my laptop screen?
[05:52] <hyatt> greezmonkey: checked the two logs, kern.log had no entries but syslog has an entry of dhclient requesting an ip. can i safely remove dhclient, or is there a way to stop it?
[05:52] <bricky> there a way to make the window buttons be more like windows? no offence im just used to it that way =p linux is better but it takes alot of work to customize
[05:53] <hyatt> greezmonkey: it does the requesting right after openvpn starts,.....
[05:53] <Laserbeak43> Gost: can u ask the question again?
[05:53] <wifinot> greezmunkey: compaq evo n610c lappy
[05:54] <Gost> how difficult is it to have a desktop tower out put to my laptop screen?
[05:54] <Gost> or worth it at all?
[05:54] <onetinsoldier> bricky: do you mean move the controls from the left side back over to the right-hand side?
[05:54] <wifinot> Gost: I would pull programs through ssh, its much easier
[05:54] <bricky> onetinsoldier: yes those
[05:54] <brand0n-> ataix
[05:54] <greezmunkey> wifinot: anything orinoco is a pain, you can start here, but you may plan on getting an external usb nic :http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/wifi-w-compaq-w200-wireless-card-and-xubuntu-7-10-a-598244/
[05:55] <iantlopp> is there a way to capture the input from an non-standard HID device and simulate keystrokes with it?
[05:55] <Saik> stupid power outage..
[05:55] <Gost> well, i got the tower tonight and i really wanted to mess with it tonight and install linux, but i wont get the monitor till tomorrow
[05:55] <wifinot> greezmunkey: one question before i begin, if its not showing in lshw, does that mean the hardware is shot?
[05:55] <bricky> onetinsoldier: that would be more familiar for me and anyone else who uses the comp
[05:55] <Gost> ill just have to be patient till tomorrow
[05:55] <Saik> Can someone tell me how to fix this?: http://pastebin.org/295169
[05:55] <onetinsoldier> bricky: try changin themes is the easiest way... to change them for all themes then use this bot factoid
[05:55] <brand0n-> does anyone know how t sync pictures/videos onto an ipod touch in ubuntu? rhythmbox handles music syncing perfectly but i cant find any apps that do pics/videos
[05:55] <onetinsoldier> !controls | bricky
[05:55] <greezmunkey> wifinot: if it worked in windows before you installed *nix, then probably not.
[05:56] <KF07> For 64-bit why does it say "Not recommended for daily desktop usage?"
[05:56] <greezmunkey> wifinot: try lsusb - see what that gives you...
[05:56] <wifinot> greezmunkey: its not in lsusb either
[05:56] <bricky> onetinsoldier: wow, thank you I will get on it
[05:56] <onetinsoldier> bricky: there's quite a few themes available in the repositories you can install. try --> apt-cache search theme | sort
[05:57] <onetinsoldier> bricky: you're welcome. cheers
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> KF07:  its a bit of misswording and being 'over cautious' - If you want to use it on a desktop machine go ahead. Many of us in here have been using it on the desktop for years
[05:57] <joe_c> Hi all!  What is the best Logitech webcam that will work proficiently in Xubuntu 10.04?
[05:57] <greezmunkey> wifinot: good luck with that one. Is there a switch, or button that you can turn the wifi on or off with, on the lappy?
[05:57] <blocky> bricky!
[05:58] <bricky> blocky!
[05:58] <KF07> ok i figured it was just to avoid newbies installing on 32-bit machine or something, just making sure
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> KF07:  if you have 4+GB of ram - you want to use 64bit. If you do lots of video encoding./other cpu intensive tasks. You may want to use 64bit also
[05:58] <bazhang> !webcam | check here joe_c
[05:58] <blocky> oh my god
[05:58] <blocky> is it really you?
[05:58] <wifinot> greezmunkey: Fn+F2, but it doesn't do anything (neither do any of the Fn hotkeys), no setting for wifi in the BIOS
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> KF07:  you cant install 64bit on a 32bit machine. :) You can do the reverse however.
[05:58] <joe_c> thanks Baz!
[05:58] <blocky> lmao
[05:58] <KF07> well yea
[05:58] <Saik_> can someone tell me how to fix this: http://pastebin.org/295169
[05:58] <bazhang> blocky, did you have a support question?
[05:59] <wifinot> !java | Saik_
[05:59] <Saik_> wifinot: I've done that
[05:59] <wifinot> Saik_: you need to upgrade your java as seen above before getting Frostwire, which uses java, to run
[05:59] <greezmunkey> wifinot: I hope you like pain ;) mental anguish :0 and an all 'round bad time :)
[05:59] <blakkheim> does the kernel in 10.04 support TRIM for SSDs? it was introduced in 2.6.33 :/
[05:59] <wifinot> Saik_: how about another g2 client, such as phex?
[05:59] <Squarism> in ubuntu there is a rename command that takes a "perl expression".. on redhat "rename" seems completely different
[05:59] <bricky> blocky: lol small world
[06:00] <Squarism> ..anyone know if the ubuntu "rename" is named something else under red hat / debian?`
[06:00] <greezmunkey> ren
[06:00] <Squarism> greezmunkey: Thanx
[06:00] <greezmunkey> Squarism: I ment to put this after that "?"
[06:01] <greezmunkey> Squarism: it is rename
[06:01] <hyatt> greezmunkey: thanks, i pinned the problem down to openvpn requesting ip-addresses even though it is configured to do point2point connections with static ips. syslog revealed it.
[06:01] <gl0wurm3wE> Hi i installed UNR and removed the remix menu, what program enables regular desktop? also want to have right click working. THANKS in advance.
[06:02] <Saik_> wifinot: http://pastebin.org/295209
[06:02] <greezmunkey> hyatt: at least I pointed you in ther right direction :) Nice job!
[06:02] <Gost> is it possible to search from the command line to search for/install firefox plugins from the repositories?
[06:02] <wifinot> Saik_: try the openjava, that might work
[06:03] <Gost> 'no-script' to be specific
[06:03] <onetinsoldier> Squarism: not sure, but perhaps you're looking for  /usr/bin/rename.ul
[06:03] <Saik_> wifinot: openjava6-*?
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> Gost:  a few are in the repos I belive. but not many
[06:03] <onetinsoldier> Squarism: bah, that's probably not it
[06:04] <Squarism> onetinsoldier: ok.. ill try it it
[06:04] <Saik_> wifinot: I have them
[06:04] <greezmunkey> Squarism: Usage: rename [-v] [-n] [-f] perlexpr [filenames]
[06:04] <onetinsoldier> Squarism: yeah, worth a look i guess
[06:04] <wifinot> Saik_: openjdk-6-jre
[06:04] <Guest62782> ??
[06:05] <joe_c> !time
[06:05] <Squarism> openjdk spells trouble
[06:05] <wifinot> Squarism: its worked for me where the closed source has failed
[06:05] <MangueBoy> how to disable vsync on ubuntu 10.4?
[06:05] <Saik_> wifinot: openjdk-6-jre is already the newest version.
[06:05] <Squarism> wifinot: aha.. for me its been the other way around
[06:05] <aitaix> !
[06:06] <Squarism> wifinot: Only tried the open one once i have to admit
[06:06] <onetinsoldier> i will say this about /usr/bin/rename -   dpkg -S /usr/bin/rename   ..returns --> dpkg: /usr/bin/rename not found.
[06:06] <tony_mahoon> hey guys for some reason my host next to my name is the shell is showing up as tom@192 instead of tom@mediaserver. when i do an echo $HOSTNAME it shows mediaserver. anyone know how i did this/if it's a problem?
[06:06] <greezmunkey> I read today that openjdk will be the default on the next release!
[06:06] <wifinot> Saik_: usually i would recommend compiling the source, but frostwire is a pain to do that with
[06:06] <bricky> onetinsoldier: oh my god!
[06:06] <Squarism> onetinsoldier: What does it mean?
[06:06] <TyanColte> emergency
[06:07] <bricky> you rock, followed the guide  you gave me, typed it in as fast as possible thought 100% i did it wrong,
[06:07] <onetinsoldier> Squarism: means that /usr/bin/rename was installed by some script that came in package is my guess, and not by an actual package
[06:07] <Saik_> wifinot: not to mention this pc barely runs xubuntu, compiling would take hours
[06:07] <wifinot> TyanColte: whats wrong?
[06:07] <onetinsoldier> Squarism: and of course, i would guess it would be a perl script
[06:08] <CARAM> is there anyway I don't have to run xrandr stuff
[06:08] <CARAM> every time I login?
[06:08] <wifinot> Saik_: what about http://www.phex.org/ its similar to frostwire in capabilities
[06:08] <CARAM> I added them to my .xinitrc but it has done nothing
[06:08] <Saik_> wifinot: but is it similar in how it works/looks?
[06:08] <onetinsoldier> Squarism: i let out *not*
[06:08] <Saik_> this isn't my C, I'm fixing it for someone
[06:08] <onetinsoldier> Squarism: means that /usr/bin/rename was *not* installed by some script that came in package is my guess, and not by an actual package
[06:08] <Saik_> pc*
[06:09] <wifinot> Saik_: it should be the same in how it works, it supports themes and its options are more advanced
[06:09] <TyanColte> i have a friend that just installed ubuntu on a separate drive and has a raid0 (striped) array on his with his windows partition, he set grub to use his main drive and it won't recognize his windows partition due to the raid setup.
[06:09] <onetinsoldier> Squarism: nvm, i had it right the first time. i think it's bedtime for me, lol
[06:09] <Guest22275> hey everyone.  is there anyway to get the default theme thats used in xubuntu?  its not in the firefox theme section
[06:09] <brand0n-> does anyone know how t sync pictures/videos onto an ipod touch in ubuntu? rhythmbox handles music syncing perfectly but i cant find any apps that do pics/videos
[06:09] <wifinot> Saik_: both programs connect to the g2 p2p network and both support encryption
[06:10] <Saik_> what about that gnu-gnutella one or w/e it's called?
[06:10] <Gost> can compilers for perl/java/etc... be d/l from the repositories?
[06:11] <wifinot> Saik_ gnu-gnutella is g2, g1 has been pretty dead for a while
[06:11] <theadmin> Question: When installing from a LiveCd, is there a way to prevent certain packages being installed?
[06:11] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: you don't have rename on your system?
[06:11] <MangueBoy> how to disable vsync on ubuntu 10.4?
[06:11] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: yes. however, it was not installed by a package!
[06:11] <MangueBoy> anyone knows?
[06:11] <wifinot> !pin | theadmin
[06:11] <theadmin> wifinot: Sorry, I don't really understand that one and how can it help
[06:12] <Saik_> wifinot: it's java based? (phrex)
[06:12] <greezmunkey> theadmin: doesn't the alternate install cd allow you to pick and chooes what you want installed?
[06:12] <Dr_Willis> MangueBoy:  nvidia control center has a check box   for that
[06:12] <wifinot> Saik_: yes, so it should be VERY similar, its more cleanly programmed so it should work with your java
[06:12] <onetinsoldier> Squarism greezmunkey: ls -l /usr/bin/rename  -->  /usr/bin/rename -> /etc/alternatives/rename
[06:12] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: do you have apt-file installed?
[06:12] <wifinot> Saik_: and it supports Java 1.5<
[06:12] <theadmin> greezmunkey: I preffer the Live install (so I can test it before I put it on my machine, so nothing goes wrong)
[06:12] <luckymurali> Hi all
[06:12] <Spunkym3nkey> in boot os I got ubuntu and did upgrade and now it doesnt boot into my windows
[06:12] <Spunkym3nkey> I got partition
[06:13] <theadmin> onetinsoldier: what on earth is rename? :/ Don't you just use "mv file1 file1-renamed"?
[06:13] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: yes, and i've been using to search for this
[06:13] <Saik_> wifiot: java wouldn't be the smartest thing with this pc
[06:13] <onetinsoldier> Squarism greezmunkey: ls -l /etc/alternatives/rename -> /usr/bin/prename
[06:13] <Saik_> I know that gutnella from ages ago worked fine, but I can't remember what it was called
[06:13] <Dr_Willis> rename is often NOT the command that people are thinkng they want to use. :)
[06:13] <MangueBoy> Dr_Willis, don't use nvidia
[06:14] <nnn_office> anyone know how to change the resolution of the boot splash screen?
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> MangueBoy:  this is when it pays to give more details in your wuestion.
[06:14] <Saik_> wifinot: I know that gutnella from ages ago worked fine, but I can't remember what it was called  (sorry, i keep forgetting..)
[06:14] <wifinot> Saik_: gtk-gnutella also should work and thats not java
[06:15] <onetinsoldier> theadmin: yes, i do. but Squarism is wondering why the rename command in ubuntu is a perl script as opposed to the one in red hat, which behaves differently
[06:15] <MangueBoy> Dr_Willis, humpf
[06:15] <Saik_> wifinot: I'll give it a shot
[06:15] <MangueBoy> haha
[06:15] <TyanColte> any way to make grub see a windows raid 0 array drive?
[06:15] <wifinot> Saik_: ok, sorry i couldn't be more helpful in fixing the java problem with frostwire
[06:15] <luckymurali> I have a server with two network interface card,I want my internet should be controlled by the server ie I will connect my internet directly from eth0 and the output of eth1 to be the router and need to control the internet ie as a gateway server
[06:15] <TyanColte> while installing ubuntu 10.04
[06:15] <luckymurali> please let me know how to do ti??
[06:15] <wifinot> Saik_: also checkout iplist from sourceforge if using p2p on g2
[06:15] <Saik_> wifinot: no worries
[06:16] <TyanColte> wifinot: any way to make grub see a windows raid 0 array drive while installing 10.04?
[06:16] <wifinot> luckymurali: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing for internet sharing
[06:16] <luckymurali> wifinot, thanks I take  alook on that
[06:16] <wifinot> TyanColte: sorry, i have never messed with raid, but i saw google stuff on it today
[06:17] <wifinot> TyanColte: with regards to grub2
[06:17] <TyanColte> wifinot: mind linking me if you remember the location?
[06:17] <wifinot> TyanColte: sure, let me give a look around
[06:17] <TyanColte> wifinot: thanks i really appreciate it
[06:17] <Saik_> wifinot: what iplist?
[06:19] <wifinot> TyanColte: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287151 but you will probably have to enter it manually into the config as per the link
[06:19] <joe_c> !iplist | Saik_
[06:19] <theadmin> Is JDK somewhere in the repos?
[06:19] <wifinot> Saik_: yes, it filters media giants from your ip traffic, like RIAA
[06:19] <brand0n-> does anyone know how to sync pictures/videos onto an ipod touch in ubuntu? rhythmbox handles music syncing perfectly but i cant find any apps that do pics/videos
[06:19] <joe_c> !iplist
[06:20] <ff88> hi I'm wondering why my privoxy installation (from repository) randomly causes problems loading webpages
[06:20] <psycho-> Anyone know why I can connect to a wireless network but the internet won't work yet it works fine on a Windows installation? On Ubuntu 10.04
[06:20] <wifinot> theadmin: you can search by apt-cache search java jdk in terminal
[06:20] <wifinot> psycho: can you go to applications -> accessories -> terminal and type in ping google.com to see if it will ping?
[06:21] <theadmin> wifinot: found it
[06:21] <wifinot> theadmin: awesome
[06:21] <theadmin> wifinot: 20MB... on Sun's site, 157MB. ?!
[06:21] <wifinot> theadmin: probably libraries and such associated with it
[06:21] <Saik2> stupid crashes...
[06:21] <psycho-> wifinot, i'm not on in right now, but I have tied this
[06:21] <psycho-> it couldn't connect
[06:22] <theadmin> ubottu: partner
[06:22] <wifinot> psycho: i would check "ifconfig" in terminal to see if you have an IP, you can also, in terminal, run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" to restart networking, and ping google.com to see if you have DNS support
[06:23] <hyatt> is there a possibility to configure dhcp-server to only answer dhcp requests on a certain interface (ex: if my machine has interfaces eth1/eth2/eth3 i want to configure the server to only answer requests from eth2 and ignore requests coming in on eth1 and eth3; is that possible?)

[06:27] <bricky> Stevethepirate*
[06:27] <curt_> im looking to make a myth tv pc out of an old computer anyone done anyhting liek that before?
[06:27] <curt_>  obviously ill need to buy a tv tuner and a large hard drive
[06:27] <thinkpad> are you usa?
[06:27] <jai_mani> I have tried changing the apperence but it does not help
[06:28] <clint-> who
[06:28] <thinkpad> you ?
[06:28] <clint-> I'm in space =)
[06:28]  * Wysie_ hello
[06:28] <bricky> everything went fine up until libcompizconfig-backend-gconf is not available, but is referred to by a other pkg
[06:28] <joe_c> ...speaking of tv tuners, what would be the best working one for 10.04!?
[06:28] <bazhang> !ot | clint- thinkpad
[06:29] <nmvictor> I have booted my machine in an area with wireless but their are no wireless networks according to network manager gnome, what am I supposed to do?
[06:29] <thinkpad> oh,it is very terror
[06:29] <bricky> im going to try from the beginning running the commands to install compiz fusion
[06:29] <bricky> although I already did apt get and added the repo
[06:29] <curt_> has anyone installed KDE allong with theri usual GNOME and now have trouble getting rid of it?
[06:29] <wifinot> nmvictor: you could go to applications -> accessories -> terminal, and type iwconfig to see if ubuntu is registering your wireless card (then lshw -C network if it is not)
[06:29] <bazhang> !puregnome > curt_
[06:29]  * clint- leaves
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> curt_:  clarify what you mean.
[06:30] <jai_mani> Hi, people Im using ubuntu 10.04 (amd ) after yesterdays updates the apperence of my desktop is reverted to the old gnome look, I have tried changing the apperence but it does not help
[06:30] <gost> i have an unsed digital tv box, but no cable service other than the basic channels. is there anything cool i can do with the box?
[06:30] <theadmin> hm. Netbeans provides a about 47 mb installer with a .sh extension. That means it's a shellscript, how can that be so big?
[06:30] <bazhang> gost, try in ##hardware
[06:30] <TyanColte> never mind i just solved my own problem
[06:30] <curt_> hey dr willis, someone has already helped me but i want to get rid of everyhting that got installed when i installed KDE ( for instance ic an no longer change my mouse pointer)
[06:30] <jai_mani> did some one install the latest ubuntu lucid updates
[06:30] <thinkpad> what do you think about ubuntu
[06:30] <gost> kk
[06:31] <theadmin> thinkpad: It's awesome, and that's why we're all here
[06:31] <bazhang> thinkpad, this is not the chat channel. try #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:31] <lost> i have a problem with firefox closing all open windows whats wrong with it
[06:31] <TyanColte> all i have to do is to install grub to the same drive that ubuntu is installed on (the one without the raid0) and then set an option in the windows bootloader to load grub when selected
[06:31] <theadmin> ubottu: puregnome | curt_
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> curt_:  the mouse pointer not changeing is a gnome bug i recall.  I normally have to change it and logout/back in - even on a total gnome system
[06:31] <TyanColte> genius
[06:31] <thinkpad> oh my god
[06:31] <saik3> wfinot: it says it's ancient, but then it won't update either?
[06:32] <shawncm217> When I close Gwibber to the system tray/messaging menu, it regularly does not restore when I click on it (Broadcast). I have to kill the process and restart Gwibber.
[06:32] <saik3> wifinot: it says it's ancient, but then it won't update either?
[06:32] <wifinot> saik3: are you referring to gtk-gnutella?
[06:32] <saik3> wifinot: yes
[06:33] <thinkpad> who can speak chinese
[06:33] <theadmin> Hmnh. The !puregnome factoid is misleading, the command given does not just remove KDE (altough stated to do so)
[06:33] <wifinot> saik3: thats an okay error, but if you want the most recent version, you have to download it from their website as the ubuntu package is not the most current
[06:33] <bp0> where does archive mounter mount iso?
[06:33] <bazhang> !cn | thinkpad
[06:33] <saik3> wifinot: (any name i use will start with saik, figure I got booted)
[06:33] <theadmin> bazhang: You beat me to it :D
[06:33] <wifinot> !chinese | thinkpad
[06:33] <bazhang> thinkpad, /join #ubuntu-cn
[06:33] <thinkpad> thank you
[06:34] <saik3> wifinot: where would that iplist thing be?
[06:34] <gost> bazhang: i tired to join that channel, it gave me an error saying i need to register and #hardware requires an invitation
[06:34] <wifinot> saik3: its on sourceforge.net, they haven't ported it to a repo yet
[06:34] <mugginz>  /join #ubuntu-cn
[06:34] <thinkpad> bye everyboby
[06:34] <saik3> wifinot: cause yea.. I hae a terminal and FF open and I'm STILL laggng :@
[06:34] <supercom32> Is there any software for ubuntu which allows you to run a telnet BBS?
[06:34] <bazhang> gost, register, also you can join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:34] <bazhang> !register > gost
[06:34] <saik3> wifinot: just look for iplist? or on the gut page?
[06:34] <wifinot> saik3: you might want to try dillo or elinks browsers
[06:34] <curt_> man im amazed at this channels existance the linux community continues to impress me almost daily after a year
[06:35] <lost> again firefox closes at me
[06:35] <wifinot> saik3: you can search iplist and ipblock in sourceforge, its similiar to peerguardian2 in windows
[06:35] <theadmin> curt_: Heh. The more you're here, the more you learn ^_^
[06:35] <jai_mani> Why do i have to give authentication to emphathy everytime it starts ?
[06:36] <bricky> brb
[06:37] <curt_> my empathy remembers my authentication im pretty sure its jsut a tick box you need to hit
[06:37] <magn3ts> anyone have raid cards they could recommend?
[06:37] <joe_c> G'night/morning all!  Have fun troubleshooting! :^)
[06:37] <jai_mani> curt_ : btw did you install yesterdays updates
[06:38] <curt_> hey i dont know how to respond directly to you, i dont think i installed any updates recently
[06:38] <magn3ts> !raid
[06:38] <curt_> that bot is smart as hell
[06:38] <supercom32> Is there any modern telnet BBS software avaliable for Ubuntu?
[06:38] <onetinsoldier> !botsnack
[06:39] <orangeglo> i just downloaded a .pkg.zip and im not exactly sure how to install the file
[06:39] <theadmin> hrm. Does Netbeans require the JDK or no?
[06:39] <ionix> !raid on two disks in a kickstart/preseed
[06:39] <ionix> !redhat does it
[06:39] <orangeglo> can anyone tell me how?? does the default archive manager handle .zips?
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> supercom32:  proberly are. You did check the package managers search feature?
[06:39] <shawncm217> When I close Gwibber to the system tray/messaging menu, it regularly does not restore when I click on it (Broadcast). I have to kill the process and restart Gwibber. Is this a known issue or is there a known fix?
[06:39] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: yes. if you've installed the zip and unzip packages
[06:39] <jai_mani> curt_ : well i got some updates last night around 110 mb and after installing them im stuck with the old gnome look
[06:40] <flreey> hi, i use ubuntu10.04 now.when i type ifconfig eth0, there's no ip shows,  how can i find my ip?
[06:40] <wifinot> orangeglo: i believe it defaults to deflate decompression
[06:40] <theadmin> flreey: www.whatismyip.org
[06:40] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: what are some good apps that can unzip files?
[06:40] <onetinsoldier> flreey: try --> ip addr
[06:40] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: file-roller
[06:41] <flreey> thanks, but is there any command to show my ip?
[06:41] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: file-roller or ark
[06:41] <Doyle> theadmin: Yes, netbeans needs the jdk. Theres a download right from sun that includes both.
[06:41] <onetinsoldier> flreey: try --> ip addr
[06:41] <theadmin> Doyle: Um, and if I download it from netbeans.org?
[06:42] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: i tried downloading ark but it said that it was coming from an unsecure address
[06:42] <supercom32> Dr_Willis: Yes, I did, but I only see one for qterm. No other alternatives?
[06:42] <flreey> thanks
[06:42] <nmvictor> wifinot: I think it is registering the card, infact I have been using it except today,
[06:43] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: strange. you might want to have someone look at your /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:43] <onetinsoldier> file
[06:43] <g0st> bazhang: ty
[06:43] <Doyle> theadmin: from netbeans, last tim eI did it, the java package came with the download
[06:43] <theadmin> Doyle: Great ^_^
[06:43] <wifinot> nmvictor: you tried restarting the computer already?
[06:44] <wifinot> nmvictor: you should go to alt+f2 to terminal and type ifconfig to see if you have gotten an IP
[06:44] <wifinot> nmvictor: you can alt+f2 and sudo dhclient to renew your IP address if its a 169.x.x.x
[06:45] <bricky> can you run compiz through wubi? some ppl say yes..
[06:45] <theadmin> bricky: Of course you can
[06:45] <Stevethepirate> @ onetinsoldier , xmms2-client-cli is fail.
[06:45] <bricky> theadmin: sweet.. I followed this guide you think I screwed myself?
[06:45] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: did you get everything back to normal?
[06:45] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: bah! how come?
[06:45] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: yes :-)
[06:45] <theadmin> bricky: a wubi install is identical to a normal install except for it's slower and can't hibernate
[06:46] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: what was up with it?
[06:46] <bricky> theadmin: cool :D
[06:46] <jai_mani> im stuck with the old gnome look after some updates can someone please help ?
[06:46] <corpse> im having a problem with pure-ftpd. my root folder for a user account is /home/userftp/username. i have all my harddrives mounted to the same directory. when i log into my server it does not show any of the drives, and when i create a directory  from a remote computer to the ftp i cant see it on the server
[06:46] <Stevethepirate> onetinsoldier: I dislike it. :/ Sorry. .
[06:46] <bricky> is that link correct? or should I maybe not have done that,
[06:47] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: i have a few of those x-cursor-themes that i has successfully installed for other folks so i know i can get them to work. but i haven't installed any of them since my fresh reinstall and therefore, i have tired that Wii cursor theme yet. but i probably will soon ;-)
[06:47] <Omen_20> anyone know how to get the amazonmp3 downloader on 10.04?
[06:47] <onetinsoldier> tried*
[06:48] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: let me know how that goes ;) id love to get that theme working haha
[06:48] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: roger. no worries. i've never tried it. just thought it might worth a try for you
[06:48] <c0l2e> anyone using lxc now in lucid??
[06:48] <erajastra> andi
[06:48] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: roger. if i'm around tomorrow or the next day and you're here remind me and i'll go for it
[06:48] <wifinot> ndisgtk just freezes when i open it, do i have to restart after installing it? its a blank dialog box (empty rather) looking like its prepared to load (but neer does)
[06:49] <c0l2e> can I run container with older kernel in lxc ??
[06:50] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: what i'll do is install one that i know i got working fine, then try following the exact same procedure for that Wii x-cursor-theme. if that doesn't work, then it's something wrong with the theme itself
[06:50] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: cool stuff. hey so i got that .zip unloaded and it turned into a .pkg. how can  i get it to work?
[06:50] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: oh ok. that makes sense
[06:50] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: the file inside was a .pkg file?
[06:51] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: yes
[06:51] <wifinot> orangeglo: i believe .pkg are for slackware distributions, ubuntu is a debian based distribution, you can always from to execute it in terminal with chmod +x *.pkg && ./*.pkg
[06:51] <c0l2e> anyone knows about LXC??
[06:51] <flreey> i install virtualbox, my virtual box can connect to the Internet now, how can i find the virtualbox's ip?i want to ping to my virtualbox.i use --> ip addr, it shows :vboxnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000    link/ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[06:52] <psych> So I deleted my home partition accidentally using gparted but I haven't rebooted yet.
[06:52] <psych> Anyway I can save myself?
[06:52] <wifinot> psych: search apt-cache search recover data
[06:53] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: try what wifinot said. i've never had one of those types of files before. i have had some .package files though. wonder if their different.
[06:53] <wifinot> psych: if you have hit apply its gone, but there might be programs to recover it by searching that
[06:53] <wifinot> ndisgtk just freezes when i open it, do i have to restart after installing it? its a blank dialog box (empty rather) looking like its prepared to load (but never does)
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> flreey:  check the vbox manual on how it does its ip address. it can be on its own internal 'network' so it only has a private ip# thats accessable by the serving machine only. OR you can configfure it where it has an external ip.
[06:53] <psych> Aye this could be a long, long, night
[06:53] <orangeglo> wifinot: hmm i tried opening it in terminal and it said that the file didnt exist, even though i read it right out of my downloads folder :\
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> orangeglo:  be sure you got the name right? Case Is InporAntAnT.
[06:54] <wifinot> orangeglo: in terminal, cd Downloads, then try those commands
[06:54] <flreey> thanks, i will try.
[06:54] <Doyle> orangeglo: Just a tip, in terminal, you can use the TAB button to autocomplete to help ensure you have the filename correct.
[06:55] <Anakhoresis> Okay, after experimenting and going through guides, I give up doing it alone. Can someone help me get my sound running? Just installed Ubuntu 10.04, I know speakers work because they worked in Kubuntu and Windows before this, but now not in Ubuntu.
[06:56] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: Pulse or ALSA?
[06:56] <wifinot> Anakhoresis: i hope someone has a better solution than the one i used, but i downloaded the sourcecode to pulseaudio and compiled it myself, type !compiling for more information and !pulseaudio
[06:56] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: I honestly have no idea what those two are, but the guide I was going through was for ALSA and while according to the guide, I should have everything working fine, it's still not working.
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> Anakhoresis:  You did check the simple things first? like the alsa-mixer tool to make sure the sounds are not just muted/turned down low.
[06:57] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: This may be a shock, but guides online don't work 100% most of the time... not without some giggering
[06:57] <wifinot> Doyle: i believe pulseaudio comes default with ubuntu 10.04?
[06:57] <DonScott> if you just installed ubuntu 10.04 it's pulse audio most likely
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> Pulse Audio has been in ubuntu for some time now.
[06:58] <Anakhoresis> Dr_Willis: Yep, alsamixer is reading everything at 100%.
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> Pulse Audio uses alsa. :) alsa is the actial 'drivers' i guess you can say
[06:58] <Stevethepirate> onetinsoldier: yeah, np just looking for someone who has tried out a few :)
[06:58] <Doyle> wifinot: Pulseaudio is my choice, ALSA gives me soggy brains
[06:58] <onetinsoldier> Stevethepirate: roger that. keep asking!
[06:59] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: But yes, Basics first. Check sound control: Volume. Check Hardware: Cables, power and Volume knob.
[06:59] <wifinot> im out ya'll, off to bed
[06:59] <ff88> hi, privoxy is dramatically slowing down my internet browsing
[07:00] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: heh, did you find the source of rename?
[07:00] <ff88> is it normal to have a 50% loading speed loss
[07:00] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: Volume controls are all at 100%. It's an EeePC laptop, so not much I can do about those parts, but I installed Ubuntu, when sound didn't work, reinstalled Kubuntu just to check, everything worked, and now back to Ubuntu and it doesn't work again.
[07:01] <orangeglo> is synaptic an app that has a GUI?
[07:01] <theadmin> orangeglo: yes
[07:01] <wifinot> ff88: im about to leave, but in the /etc/privoxy folder, the config file can be editted to allow data to pass without check, speeding the browsing experience, change the /etc/privoxy/config area from its default
[07:01] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: not exactly. perhaps i could try harder though!
[07:01] <orangeglo> theadmin: i cant seem to find it under my applications tho :\
[07:01] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: Anakhoresis good work. We're going to install a mixer now. From the terminal type: 'sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer' without the quotes.
[07:01] <Guest16970> how to record online tv streaming on firefox
[07:01] <theadmin> orangeglo: System - Admininstration - Synaptic
[07:02] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: ok, found it... perl
[07:02] <orangeglo> theadmin: are you able to select packages that are already on your computer?
[07:02] <magn3ts> (whats a good channell for general computing questions?)
[07:02] <theadmin> orangeglo: Yes
[07:02] <orangeglo> theadmin: ok cool. thanks :)
[07:03] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: /usr/bin/rename -> /etc/alternatives/rename -> /user/bin/prename !! It's linked twice :D
[07:03] <curt_> can anyone tell me a good way to make the display properly sized when i port to a tv with HDMI
[07:03] <wifinot> magn3ts: #linux
[07:03] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: If you want to use the Synaptic Package Manger, I believe the package name is alsamixergui...
[07:03] <c0l2e> anyone here knows lxc??
[07:03] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: I used the terminal, it finished installing.
[07:03] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: yep. it's the same with a lot of stuff in /etc/alternatives
[07:03] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: crazy complicated
[07:03] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: anyway, it's installed by 'perl'
[07:04] <electrohouse> hi. i am relative new to ubuntu. installed ubuntu as a internet gateway at my school, for the whole network. but there are machines which keep sending spam emails and viruses, especially of students that plug in their laptops, or bring their own usb data sticks. are there some tools to find these errant machines when they join the network?
[07:04] <supercom32> Whats the most powerful/best FTP software for ubuntu?
[07:04] <electrohouse> ncftp and filezilla
[07:04] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: yeah, found that: RCSfile: rename,v   Revision: 4.1   Date: 92/08/07
[07:04] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: yeah. you should see what i've gone though to get some x-cursor-themes installed for people in Lucid. had to jump through a number of hoops as x-cursor-themes uses the /etc/alternatives
[07:04] <switchgirl> !wma
[07:05] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: yikes!
[07:05] <crash2108> Hello , the LDD command doesn't recognize I have a library installed that I know i do have installed.  I think I may have to create a virtual link somewhere but I'm not sure from where to where.  I don't know where the library's .so file is.  Where does LDD look for?  Can I just add the library to LDD's cache?

[07:06] <Guest16970> how to record online tv streaming on firefox
[07:07] <BasisBit> Is there a command I could set to run in correlation with the Alarm Clock program in Ubuntu to randomly select a song from my music folder? To clarify, I can set a command to run at a set time and I want it to play a random song.
[07:07] <switchgirl> anyone know how / where i can get a Windows Media Audio 8 decoder for radio (down) streaming from?
[07:07] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: sorry, door.
[07:07] <orangeglo> i dont really get how to work Synaptic.  I went to file/add downloaded packages/opened my pkg and now what do i do??
[07:07] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: from the terminal type 'alsamixergui' and the mixer should launch
[07:08] <theadmin> orangeglo: .pkg is not an Ubuntu package. .deb is.
[07:08] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: wow, what you need is a box that is purpose built to do that, like the ebox: can be problematic through: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/884-ebox-manage-your-linux-server-froma-web-page-
[07:08] <orangeglo> theadmin: i thought you could open a .pkg with Synaptic though...
[07:08] <electrohouse> switchgirl: try gstreamer.. and all its plugins. it works fine with wma codecs
[07:09] <switchgirl> i tried that
[07:09] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: what does this command show? file <file.pkg>
[07:09] <Windows__Killer> Hello everyone
[07:09] <onetinsoldier> hi!
[07:09] <curt_> bonjour
[07:09] <vikas> hi
[07:09] <Windows__Killer> i have a problem in ubuntu
[07:09] <J11> I'm trying to run blkid in jaunty, but it says that it isn't installed and that i have to install e2fsprogs, but that is already the newest version. I already installed libblkid1 and the -dev too. Is there a way to install it or another way to get the uuid's for my partitions?(so i can use it in fstab)
[07:09] <Stevethepirate> BasisBit: You could choose a filename quite easily using a shuffle and then head -n 1 or something. Bash-foo will help you do it.
[07:09] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: let me check.. the gateway is set to block all traffic like smtp etc, cept for http, and https, but there's a lot of random network activity which i would like to cut out
[07:09] <switchgirl> where can i get the plugins from and why on earth are they not there from the beginning?
[07:09] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: command not found
[07:09] <vikas> acpi is not working
[07:09] <Doyle> Anakhoresis:
[07:09] <Guest16970> how to record online tv streaming on firefox
[07:10] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: you don't have the 'file' command?
[07:10] <isolat3dsh33p> hey guys, I have problem with my touchpad. It does not function after I login to desktop. How to solve this?
[07:10] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: says ERROR cannot open (no such file)
[07:10] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: Alright, it's up. It hadn't installed the first time, oddly, had to reinstall it.
[07:10] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: sorry i didnt see file >.<
[07:10] <Windows__Killer> my display monitor doesn't work with ubunut
[07:10] <Windows__Killer> it is lenonovo
[07:10] <vikas> Guest16970, get some plugin
[07:10] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: how's it look? sliders make sound come out of magic box?
[07:10] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: ok, what i mean is..   file /path/to/<filename.pkg>
[07:10] <electrohouse> switchgirl: the plugins arent there, because of licensing issues. i found out a bunch of them from from a ubuntu website..
[07:10] <electrohouse> not sure where i found them though
[07:10] <Windows__Killer> the problem is with HDMI cable
[07:11] <BasisBit> Stevethepirate: thanks a lot!
[07:11] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: It's got two sliders, Master and Capture, both are at 100%. No sound.
[07:11] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: ERROR cannot open. no such file
[07:11] <electrohouse> let me check it, greezmunkey
[07:11] <curt_> how do you make the red font come up is there a certian thing you have to do or just have a specific persons name in your response?
[07:11] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: go into the directory where you download the .pkg file
[07:11] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: then run the 'file' command on it
[07:12] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: if you are going to allow machines within your private network to establish connections to the general internet, then you can't really do that - not without a proxy server with a ruleset that you control allowing access to some sites, and dissallowing to others...
[07:12] <Guest16970> what program i will use to record?
[07:12] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: how do i run a command to it? you mean just type in the file name? im not exactly sure how to do this :\
[07:12] <Windows__Killer> Any body knows how configure HDMI in ubuntu
[07:12] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: i dont want sites to be blocked. i want malware content to be filtered. and identify which are the infected machines on the network
[07:12] <vikas> acpi is now working any other suggestion for system check
[07:13] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: with ubuntu and squid installed,it takes care of incoming traffic, but i am looking at intranet traffic analysis to find patterns
[07:13] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: yes.. just type in   file   followed by the name of the .pkg file
[07:13] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: ok, from the Synaptic package manager, search for ffmpeg
[07:13] <electrohouse> switchgirl: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:13] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: if it's not installed, install it
[07:13] <meshug> any hot girls here?
[07:14] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: sooo weird. im looking right at it, and it still says no such file or directory
[07:14] <Flannel> meshug: This isn't an appropriate channel for that
[07:14] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: what do you get from?  ls -l <filename.pkg>
[07:14] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: the gateway setup is working perfect. what i need is a logger/ and network traffic analysis software
[07:14] <meshug> lol
[07:15] <meshuggah> xD
[07:15] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: no such file or directory
[07:15] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: Okay, getting it now.
[07:15] <Doyle> sound?
[07:15] <Guest16970> what program i will use to record?
[07:16] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: Okay, I have ffmpeg now.
[07:16] <Doyle> electrohouse: Wireshark is what the network guys at my place use
[07:16] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: i don't know. you'd have to show me the name of the file, and then the exact command you tried.
[07:16] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: any sound yet?
[07:16] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: if you are using ethernet switches then all you will see is broadcast traffic, unless you can rig up a monitor port (read port mirror) that somehow will let you "see" what's going on. What you are looking for is along the lines of rmon, or such. I doubt you can do that short of installing a sniffer utility of some sort on every machine on your network.
[07:16] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: its ok. its nothing too important
[07:17] <GuyCanada> nickname change command is fairly intuitive ahah
[07:17] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: Still nothing.
[07:17] <onetinsoldier> electrohouse: you might check out 'iptraf'
[07:17] <onetinsoldier> !info iptraf
[07:17] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: ok
[07:17] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: OK, time to get serious... Stealing this command from someone else. 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
[07:18] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: im gonna head to bed. see you around soldier
[07:18] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: he want's to monitor internal LAN traffic that may or may not be connecting to or through his gateway box.
[07:18] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: then test it
[07:18] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: ok, take care! g'night
[07:18] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: then do a 'sudo apt-get update
[07:18] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: perhaps 'mrtg' then?
[07:18] <electrohouse> onetinsoldier: can i install iptraf on a machine and it can take care of traffic through 2 gateways? the school has 1 linux gateway, and 1 hardware based router/gateway for backup
[07:18] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: like he wants to be an uber-sniffer :)
[07:18] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: then 'sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)
[07:19] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: hehe :)
[07:19] <electrohouse> i dont want to be uber-sniffer!
[07:19] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: replace uname with your  user name
[07:19] <electrohouse> i just want it to tell me which machines are infected
[07:19] <electrohouse> if i get the IP addresses of the machines, that is good enough
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> Doyle:  'uname' in that example is a command... not the users name
[07:19] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: mrtg - single point reporting, try again.
[07:19] <onetinsoldier> iptraf is what i use and i think it's great
[07:20] <isolat3dsh33p> hey guys, I have problem with my touchpad. It does not function after I login to desktop. How to solve this?
[07:20] <isolat3dsh33p> btw, i'm using 10.04
[07:20] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: you didn't clarify that you only were concerned with traffic flowing through your gateway.
[07:20] <onetinsoldier> but yeah, single point. don't know
[07:20] <Doyle> electrohouse: Dr_Willis good catch, I use uname in my documentation so its automatic for me to say "use your own user name". Anakhoresis , see this?
[07:20] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: that's easier by far :)
[07:20] <tarnap> mhh... i have 10.04 installed
[07:20] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: Yep, working on it now
[07:21] <tarnap> but no "add-apt-repository" command :/
[07:21] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: supercool
[07:21] <tarnap> does "add-apt-repository" in 10.04 lts server exist?
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> Doyle:  the $(command) syntax is similer to `command` (backticks) but its easier to read.
[07:21] <onetinsoldier> tarnap: does that command exist in 10.04? yes...
[07:21] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: well, ideally, i was looking not to touch the gateway, cos it is working perfect. was thinking to add another machine to analyze traffic on the lan, and throw up suspect IPs. that i would have set it to email me
[07:21] <Flannel> tarnap: I believe it's apt-add-repository
[07:22] <Flannel> tarnap: Oh, it seems that it's both.
[07:22] <onetinsoldier> tarnap: what Flannel said.. it's apt-add-repository
[07:22] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: now we are back to what I was going on about.
[07:22] <Doyle> Dr_Willis: BASH has made me loath backticks. Thanks for the tip
[07:22] <tarnap> onetinsoldier, Flannel: none of them work on my shell :/
[07:22] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: but, if you are able to tell me some light software that runs on the gateway, then i'll go with that
[07:22] <onetinsoldier> tarnap: one moment
[07:22] <electrohouse> hehe, as long as it doesnt take me a lot of time to configure
[07:22] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: iptraf! as others mentioned :)
[07:23] <tarnap> i see... i have to install "python-software-properties" first :/
[07:23] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: but iptraf just gives me the traffic,. does it analyze it too? like for malware signatures?
[07:23] <onetinsoldier> tarnap: try --> sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
[07:23] <Flannel> tarnap: do you have python-software-properties installed? (apt-cache policy python-software-properties)
[07:23] <tarnap> haha... onetinsoldier, Flannel i was faster ;)
[07:24] <Razion> I'm having uber audio issues here. First I couldn't play audio from more than one app at a time, then I could, now I can't again...
[07:24] <Razion> Anyone know how to fix?
[07:24] <Razion> Using 10.04.
[07:24] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: Okay, it's finished. No sound, or do I need to restart
[07:24] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: *restart?
[07:25] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: yar, I'll be here when you get back
[07:25] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: no, no analysis. THat would be a anti-virus application, anti-spam application - there may be something like that available, but I don't know of one that's freeware GNU.
[07:25] <onetinsoldier> tarnap: yeah.. i'll have to beat him one of these days :-)
[07:25] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: ok.
[07:26] <joljam> My Dell Inspiron 700 m with ubuntu karmic is not reading the SDCARD which I insert into the integrated SD Card reader
[07:26] <J11> i got the uuid by ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ instead
[07:26] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: check out ebox though, if you can get one running well it may help with some of that.
[07:26] <onetinsoldier> !info clamv
[07:26] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: currently, the gateway has a decent traffic analysus thing though. using ntop
[07:26] <Stevethepirate> joljam: my inspiron 1720 doesn't read it either. I spent a few hours trying to fix it and then I gave up.
[07:26] <onetinsoldier> !info clamav
[07:26] <electrohouse> greezmunkey: so if i get ebox running, i'll have to use that machine as the gateway, right?
[07:26] <greezmunkey> electrohouse: ntop is ok. ebox, yeah
[07:27] <Krishnandu> Guys how to install J2EE and configure it??
[07:27] <Krishnandu> Or should I install Netbeans?? I heard that it includes j2ee sdk
[07:27] <Razion> Anyone have experience dealing with the whole ASLA/Pulse not wanting to let multiple apps use sound issue?
[07:27] <J11> i moved my home folder to another partition so i have space to upgrade to karmic to upgrade to lucid
[07:28] <electrohouse> what is j2ee? the java jdk?
[07:28] <joljam> which is the file in which I can comment out the line referring to the cdrom and usb....
[07:28] <Krishnandu> electrohouse, jdk is the j2se
[07:28] <Krishnandu> electrohouse, I want sdk for j2ee
[07:28] <Anakhoresis> Doyle: Hurrah! Sound! The log in sound is not quite what I expected, I must say... Thank you very much for your assistance!
[07:28] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: perhaps electrohouse should have a look at 'clamav'
[07:29] <Flakeparadigm> I'm trying to compile an old program and it's wanting the x11 include stuff. Where would I find that in lucid?
[07:29] <Razion> Anakhoresis: Were you completely lacking sound, or just having conflicts between apps?
[07:29] <Anakhoresis> Razion: Completely lacking sound.
[07:29] <Razion> Anakhoresis: Ah. Damn.
[07:29] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: probably, I'm not up to speed on that one. I've heard some good things though.
[07:29] <Razion> Anyone have experience dealing with the whole ASLA/Pulse not wanting to let multiple apps use sound issue?
[07:29] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: roger
[07:29] <GuyCanada> whats a good irc client for ubuntu? im using konversation right now shich is nice but obviosuyl it doesnt fit well with the theme of my non KDE desktop, a lot of the other clients i saw looked unpolished
[07:30] <Razion> GuyCanada: XChat.
[07:30] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: SWEETNESS
[07:30] <electrohouse> xchat and lopster
[07:30] <tripelb> solved
[07:30] <Doyle> Anakhoresis: any time
[07:30] <Razion> Doyle: Fix my audio now? xD
[07:30] <onetinsoldier> Flakeparadigm: might not be available in Lucid, or at least in regualr Lucid repository. can you give one of the filenames?

[07:30] <Doyle> Razion: I only support hardware, no humans
[07:30] <electrohouse> iptables howto
[07:30] <Krishnandu> should I install gufw for that??
[07:30] <Razion> Doyle: Touche. :P
[07:30] <onetinsoldier> !gufw | Krishnandu
[07:31] <onetinsoldier> !ufw | Krishnandu
[07:31] <Doyle> enjoy Anakhoresis , you earned it
[07:31] <Krishnandu> diff b/w iptables and ufw??
[07:31] <onetinsoldier> Krishnandu: yeah, i use gufw
[07:31] <Razion> You'd think 10.04 would come with the ability to handle more than one program using sound...
[07:31] <Krishnandu> onetinsoldier, then what is iptables??
[07:31] <onetinsoldier> Krishnandu: it's a frontend for iptables
[07:32] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: now I know why I heard of it - looks like it's mainly for scanning email - one of my customers uses it.
[07:32] <Krishnandu> onetinsoldier, okies u mean ufw is front-end for iptables
[07:32] <onetinsoldier> Krishnandu: yes
[07:32] <Krishnandu> onetinsoldier, and gufw is the graphical interface for ufw
[07:32] <onetinsoldier> Krishnandu: you got it, exactly
[07:32] <Krishnandu> onetinsoldier, okies
[07:32] <Krishnandu> :)
[07:32] <Krishnandu> Thank you
[07:32] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: ahh, roger ;-)
[07:33] <onetinsoldier> Krishnandu: you're welcome
[07:33] <joljam> is editing fstab helpful for detecting SDCARD
[07:33] <Flakeparadigm> onetinsoldier, what do you mean "one of the filenames"?
[07:33] <Krishnandu> onetinsoldier, can u guide me how to install j2ee??
[07:33] <Razion> Anyone have experience dealing with the whole ASLA/Pulse not wanting to let multiple apps use sound issue?
[07:33] <SkEmO> Can I turn of the scroll thing on the trackpad thing on a laptop in ubuntu?
[07:33] <Razion> *ALSA, even.
[07:33] <Krishnandu> onetinsoldier, or should I just get netbeans?? I heard that it comes bundled with j2ee sdk
[07:33] <Krishnandu> onetinsoldier, so just a jdk will do
[07:34] <SkEmO> is there a way to do it?
[07:34] <WarCthulhu> How do I tell if my Ubuntu 10.04 is a 32 bit OS?
[07:34] <onetinsoldier> Krishnandu: can't help with that at the moment, sorry
[07:34] <Krishnandu> onetinsoldier, okies np :)
[07:34] <onetinsoldier> Flakeparadigm: you're trying to compile something, correct?
[07:34] <GuyCanada> i was pretty sure i had registered my nicname but freenode is saying please register my nicname, is that jsut something it says to everyone?
[07:34] <boodroscotch> Hi guys
[07:34] <Flakeparadigm> onetinsoldier, yes
[07:35] <boodroscotch> I have a pretty a pretty critical problem
[07:35] <electrohouse> if you give it your password, it will be happy, GuyCanada
[07:35] <arand> WarCthulhu: uname -m
[07:35] <saymoo> hello folks
[07:35] <GuyCanada> thats the thing i didnt need to enter my password when i logged in, perhaps i failed to register correctly?
[07:35] <GuyCanada> im new to irc
[07:35] <boodroscotch> I can't install a piece of software due to it being 32-bit
[07:35] <boodroscotch> And I'm running 64-bit
[07:35] <saymoo> i
[07:36] <boodroscotch> it can't access a shared library called libqt3-mt.so.3
[07:36] <boodroscotch> even though it is there
[07:36] <onetinsoldier> Flakeparadigm: ok, when you are compiling, you've probably noticed some message(s) along the lines of....  /usr/X11/include/Xaw.h no such file or directory
[07:36] <electrohouse> GuyCanada: maybe. you can do /nickserv register password email to register your nickname again. if it is already registered, then you cant, or it will register. it sends an email, before the nick is registered tho8gh
[07:36] <GuyCanada> ok thanks
[07:36] <boodroscotch> oh, and it's not a DEB operation, it's a bash script installation
[07:36] <boodroscotch> so it doesn't bother to check for dependencies
[07:37] <onetinsoldier> Flakeparadigm: seen anything like that during the compile?
[07:37] <Flakeparadigm> onetinsoldier, "Checking for X... Configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!"
[07:37] <Flakeparadigm> that's where ./configure quits
[07:37] <boodroscotch> so basically; is there any way to make a 32-bit applicaion aware of a 64-bit shared library?
[07:38] <onetinsoldier> Flakeparadigm: roger. hang on a moment. don't know that i'll be able to figure this out either. but looking....
[07:38] <boodroscotch> maybe chroot it?
[07:38] <saymoo> i've upgraded from koala, to lucid, without errors shown, after reboot it 1) doesn't show grub menu 2) hangs on "checking battery state [ok]"  (it's a PC!! and no, i have a nvidia gpu, but not installed the proprietary drivers). What's wrong?
[07:38] <Flakeparadigm> onetinsoldier, good luck
[07:38] <GuyCanada> ahh ive figured it out, i jsut needed to identify myself, strange it let me use the nicname wihout identifying first tho no?
[07:38] <Patric4> What could cause drag & drop to fail within GNOME ?  Each time I try to (i) Move a file into a folder, (ii) Move the icon of a file/folder or (iii) Drag a link into a gnome-terminal etc, I get a animation of the file/folder "returning" back to where I first clicked and dragged.  I'm using Gnome packaged with lucid.
[07:38] <Krishnandu> what is the diff b/w apt-get and aptitude??
[07:39] <greezmunkey> Patric4: do you own the file, and both locations - have permissions to do that?
[07:39] <Krishnandu> what is the diff b/w apt-get and aptitude??
[07:39] <Flakeparadigm> onetinsoldier, if this helps, here are the locations the ./configure script searches : http://pastebin.ca/1874713
[07:40] <Stevethepirate> Krishnandu: If you man apt-get and man aptitude, you see that apt-get is a low level frontend to package management, whereas aptitude is highend.
[07:40] <Stevethepirate> Although a lot of users use them interchangably.
[07:40] <Krishnandu> Stevethepirate, hmm
[07:40] <Krishnandu> Stevethepirate, okies..!! Thnx :)
[07:40]  * greezmunkey has no aptitude for Aptitude
[07:40] <Patric4> greezmunkey: Yeah - it's system-wide too (i.e. it affects other users on the box)
[07:40] <saymoo> i've upgraded from koala, to lucid, without errors shown, after reboot it 1) doesn't show grub menu 2) hangs on "checking battery state [ok]"  (it's a PC!! and no, i have a nvidia gpu, but not installed the proprietary drivers). What's wrong?
[07:41] <supercom32> Whats the best GUI based ubuntu FTP server around?
[07:41] <greezmunkey> Patric4: can you move a file from one of your home directories to another - try it.
[07:41] <onetinsoldier> Flakeparadigm: do you have this package installed? xorg-dev
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> supercom32:  totally depends on your needs.
[07:41] <greezmunkey> Patric4: directories within your home, sorry.
[07:41] <supercom32> Dr_Willis: I need something which can do byte/ratio for users
[07:42] <Patric4> greezmunkey: Not using the GUI but can via the command line
[07:42] <supercom32> Dr_Willis: However, I'd like something with a GUI admin because it's simpler for me.
[07:42] <boodroscotch> any help?
[07:42] <electrohouse> supercom32: vsftpd is a good ftp server. check for web-based consoles for administration
[07:42] <Patric4> greezmunkey: If it helps, the "hand" doesn't change when you hover over the target icon (like I think it should)
[07:43] <Flakeparadigm> onetinsoldier, no I did not. I didn't see that when I was looking for -dev packages. Installing it now (I totally overlooked xorg and just searched x11)
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> supercom32:  A ftp server normally wont have a 'gui' - there are numerous gui front ends to differnt servers out there. I dont use any. I perfer to use ssh/scp
[07:43] <onetinsoldier> Flakeparadigm: roger. you might want to also install 'xutils-dev'
[07:43] <greezmunkey> Patric4: hmmm, try it this way once- in a terminal type gksu nautilus & - and hit enter. Try the same operation within your home directory again.
[07:43] <Flakeparadigm> onetinsoldier, alright. I will install them and tell you how it goes
[07:44] <Patric4> greezmunkey: Hmmm... same problem when nautilus is run as root...
[07:44] <Flakeparadigm> onetinsoldier, alright, that worked. thanks a ton!
[07:45] <onetinsoldier> Flakeparadigm: cool! you're welcome
[07:45] <Patric4> The target folder doesn't change at all (e.g. highlight etc) when you hover over it.
[07:45] <greezmunkey> Patric4: I am at a loss - it could be permissions within gdm, but I don't know, sorry.
[07:45] <Patric4> greezmunkey: Yeah - it's a weird one
[07:45] <joljam> any answers on my SDCARD problem
[07:47] <saymoo> i've upgraded from koala, to lucid, without errors shown, after reboot it 1) doesn't show grub menu 2) hangs on "checking battery state [ok]"  (it's a PC!! and no, i have a nvidia gpu, but not installed the proprietary drivers). What's wrong?
[07:47] <greezmunkey> Patric4: when did this start? What happened before this became a problem?
[07:48] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[07:48] <onetinsoldier> !hi | EvaLuaTe
[07:48] <greezmunkey> joljam: see if this helps: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-to-mount-sd-card-on-ubuntu-536646/
[07:49] <EvaLuaTe> does anyone else experience this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/587429 ? I would really like to install usplash because it seems that without it my boot and shutdown splashs are borked. Any help please?
[07:49] <davidov009> How can I find out my computer's name? For example: <LOCAL MACHINE> <KITCHEN COMPUTER> etc, etc....
[07:50] <Patric4> greezmunkey: I was messing around with fonts and ran a dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config (Not sure how this would result in this symptom though).  It's a pity nautils doesn't take a debug level - I was hoping to get something interesting on stdout
[07:50] <EvaLuaTe> davidov009: cat /etc/hostname
[07:50] <greezmunkey> davidov009: you mean as far as windows is concerned?
[07:50] <boodroscotch> Hi guys, I get this shared library error whenever I try to open a certain program, any help? the error message is: ./ZMC: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open object file; no such file or directory
[07:50] <davidov009> In ubuntu.
[07:50] <greezmunkey> Patric4: no doubt.
[07:50] <boodroscotch> even though I have it
[07:50] <davidov009> Thank you EvaLuaTe.
[07:51] <davidov009> That worked.
[07:51] <greezmunkey> EvaLuaTe: try just hostname
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> boodroscotch:  you recently installed that lib? If so you may need to run 'sudo ldconfig'
[07:51] <EvaLuaTe> greezmunkey: with that command he now also knows where he can edit it :)
[07:52] <chelz> anyone know of a good way or plugin to get autosaving features enabled in Kate?
[07:52] <boodroscotch> Dr_Willis: nope, didn't work :(
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> boodroscotch:  and where is this lib located at? It could be its not in the default lib paths
[07:53] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: seems like i've heard bad things about 'usplash' in Lucid 10.04. think the replacement is 'plymouth'. i could be mistaken
[07:53] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: anyway, i use plymouth
[07:53] <boodroscotch> Dr_Willis: it's in /usr/share/qt3/lib/
[07:53] <untmdsprt> onetinsoldier, I've never been able to get usplash to install
[07:53] <greezmunkey> EvaLuaTe: yeah, or hostname mynewhostname works too :)
[07:54] <onetinsoldier> untmdsprt: in Lucid 10.04? i don't doubt it
[07:54] <untmdsprt> onetinsoldier, yes
[07:54] <onetinsoldier> rgr
[07:54] <boodroscotch> Dr_Willis: could the problem arise from this application possibly being 32-bit only? it wasn't a DEB operation that installed it.
[07:54] <rubin110> I'm gahy.
[07:54] <EvaLuaTe> onetinsoldier: well, plymouth doesn't seem to work for me (I just get random pixels at shutdown and boot instead of a proper splash). Any idea what could be wrong?
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> boodroscotch:  you may need to add that path to  one of the /etc/ld.so.conf or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ files
[07:55] <rubin110> i love tah cock.
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> boodroscotch:  32bit libs I thought went in a spefcific location on a 64bit system
[07:55] <greezmunkey> omy
[07:55] <rubin110> lol
[07:55] <rubin110> Debian roxz ur cawk
[07:55] <rubin110> lulz
[07:55] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: what does this command show? ls -l /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth
[07:56] <rubin110> look man. SIX MONTH RELEASE CYCLES ARE FOR DOUCHE BAGS
[07:56] <onetinsoldier> !ops | rubin110 please
[07:56] <boodroscotch> Dr_Willis: okay, so it's include /usr/share/qt3/lib? as the added line?
[07:56] <EvaLuaTe> onetinsoldier:  /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth -> /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
[07:56] <Flannel> rubin110: Please stop.
[07:56] <rubin110> FAWK
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> boodroscotch:  i dont see the that /usr/share/qt3/lib dir mentioned in the  paths in ld.so.conf or its sub files.
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> boodroscotch:  looks about right to me.
[07:57] <rubin110> duchebagbuntu install party an noisebrudge
[07:57] <rubin110> bridge
[07:57] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: roger. what video card do you have and what driver are you using?
[07:57] <untmdsprt> is Xchat the only IRC client for Ubuntu? Is there better ones?
[07:57] <greezmunkey> EvaLuaTe: did you upgrade to 10.04, or install clean
[07:57] <Stevethepirate> irssi, pidgin?
[07:57] <onetinsoldier> bet he upgraded ;-)
[07:57] <Stevethepirate> untmdsprt: !irc
[07:58] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: me too, I had the same issue - went away after installing clean.
[07:58] <EvaLuaTe> onetinsoldier: it's a ATI HD 5650, the driver is fglrx afaik. greezmunkey: it's a fresh install of ubuntu (I always prefer to freshly install).
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> untmdsprt:  theres dozens of irc clients out there for linux.
[07:58] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: roger that. probably a way to fix it without reinstalling. but i must say, i'm not certain what it is
[07:59] <onetinsoldier> well, i would have lost the bet then
[07:59]  * wiretapped apologizes for rubin110 being an ass
[07:59] <boodroscotch> Dr_Willis: hmmm...didn't work....
[07:59] <untmdsprt> Dr_Willis, such as?
[07:59] <greezmunkey> EvaLuaTe: wow, maybe a graphics mode being passed by grub that your card doesn't like - would be my guess.
[07:59] <wiretapped> (we're in a bar)
[08:00] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: random pixels eh? hmmm. do you have the following file?  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:00] <boodroscotch> Dr_Willis: is it because the folder is full of symlinks?
[08:00] <onetinsoldier> Flannel: thank you for getting rid of mr. rubin
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> untmdsprt:  fire up the package mnager search for irc. It all depends on your needs. Xchat works great for most people. I use WeeChat
[08:01] <EvaLuaTe> greezmunkey: I checked grub but it looks fine. Also, I installed usplash with dpkg -if and after that I got a proper splash at both shutdown and boot, but I couldn't upgrade anymore (because of usplash) so I was forced to remove it.
[08:01] <EvaLuaTe> onetinsoldier: yes I do.
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> boodroscotch:  what folder?  Normally one adds a new path to the ld.so.conf file and reruns 'sudo ldconfig' (you did rerun ldconfig?)
[08:02] <greezmunkey> EvaLuaTe: other than that your system works fine?
[08:02] <EvaLuaTe> greezmunkey: yes.
[08:03] <Rick_James> I've got a Ubuntu question if anyone is available
[08:03] <EvaLuaTe> greezmunkey, onetinsoldier: also, I forgot to mention that this wasn't like this from the start. The splash screen is only borked since I installed splashy'
[08:03] <Doyle> untmdsprt: If you like the terminal and want irc open 24/7, try Guake Terminal and run the Terminal irc client irssi.
[08:03] <greezmunkey> EvaLuaTe: now you mention it XD
[08:03] <EvaLuaTe> I removed it and also remade the initrd image, but it still doesn't work
[08:04] <boodroscotch> Dr_Willis: yep, I reran it.
[08:04] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: roger. i'm not certain. it's a little beyond me. i was thinking this might help, although i kind of doubt it. it solved the big ugly plymouth boot logo for me after installing the 'fglrx' driver, and gave me a nice large resolution in my VT's. but i never had random pixel problem

[08:05] <artypig78> hey
[08:05] <Rick_James> I just barely installed Ubuntu on my other partition, and the display seems to be choppy.  Can anyone help me?
[08:05] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: but yeah.. usplash has caused your current problem
[08:05] <artypig78> just as a general question, what do u think the size of wikipedia is?
[08:05] <artypig78> all of its articles
[08:06] <Flannel> artypig78: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to ask that
[08:06] <vishal> Ubuntu 9.04 accesses wifi right after installation but Ubuntu 10.04 does not. Why?
[08:06] <EvaLuaTe> onetinsoldier: ok, I'll try that. Thank you very much :)
[08:07] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: i wouldn't really try it until you've fixed the usplash problem
[08:07] <EvaLuaTe> onetinsoldier: what usplash problem do you mean?
[08:07] <godricbrutus> every time i boot into ubuntu after i have been on windows, the mouse wheel scrolling is messed up (too fast) on ubuntu. i found an 'article', but if i'm understanding correctly, they are saying it is 'solved' because 'all you have to do' is un-plug and re-plug the usb connector. this doesn't sound like it solved to me. is that what they are saying? un-plug, then re-plug the connector every time we start ubuntu? https://answers.launchp

[08:08] <EvaLuaTe> onetinsoldier: yes, i get: /etc/init.d/plymouth-splash
[08:08] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: you said you didn't have a problem with plymouth until you installed usplash, correct?
[08:08] <onetinsoldier> EvaLuaTe: ok... that file could be a problem

[08:09] <saik> wifinot: you there?
[08:09] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[08:09] <EvaLuaTe> onetinsoldier: no, it wasn't usplash, it was splashy. But, like I said, I removed that package and remade the initrd image, so I guess that shouldn't have left anymore marks behind...

[08:20] <untmdsprt> you have 1Ghz, I don't
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> jozefk:  you dont have to if you dont want to.   'support' for most people is also a vague term :)
[08:20] <saik> anyone know how to add networks to GTK-Gnutella?
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> !lts
[08:20] <jasper> speaking of lucid
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> jozefk:  lts is suported for 3 years..

[08:21] <untmdsprt> Doyle, I'm also running xfce, but something is causing the system to be slow
[08:21] <jasper> Im installing it right now, and i just got a bad message and need some advice
[08:21] <Doyle> untmdsprt: system manager have anything to say about it? Which process is spiking?
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> jozefk:  in thory you can stick to the LTS and just do LTS->LTS upgrades if you wanted.
[08:21] <rubydiamond> btw how to add key for this http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/ia32libs/ubuntu
[08:21] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: what does that really mean, supported? Like if I call Cannonical?
[08:21] <jasper> The system user "messagebus" already exists. Exiting.
[08:21] <jasper> anyone know anything about that?
[08:21] <untmdsprt> Doyle, something called xorg
[08:21] <lun4tic> anyone here who can help me with some gsteamer/webcam issue in "emesene"?
[08:21] <lun4tic>  i get the following message:

[08:21] <lun4tic>  the webcam entry shows in the preferences but i get no pictures. in other programms like "cheese" it works
[08:21] <FloodBot3> lun4tic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  No idwa what the term actually means. :) Im my own support.
[08:22] <forkup> untmdsprt: use top from a terminal to see what's doing it
[08:22] <godricbrutus> saik, i can't spell for crap, but that's just one of the typos that bothers me for some reason. i also hate when people say 'dis(this)'
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  Security updated are released is one thing it does...
[08:22] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: me too, with a little help from mt friends :)
[08:22] <godricbrutus> every time i boot into ubuntu after i have been on windows, the mouse wheel scrolling is messed up (too fast) on ubuntu. i found an 'article', but if i'm understanding correctly, they are saying it is 'solved' because 'all you have to do' is un-plug and re-plug the usb connector. this doesn't sound like it solved to me. is that what they are saying? un-plug, then re-plug the connector every time we start ubuntu? https://answers.launchp
[08:22] <godricbrutus> ad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200
[08:22] <jozefk> I see. 10.04 will be supported till april 2013. in the meantime there will be 6 regular releases! :) does that makes sense? most probably yes, otherwise they would not do so but I just not getting the point
[08:22] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: i think it means, that if bug reports are filed on packages, dev's will look into it
[08:22] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis: Ah, there is that...
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> jozefk:  yes it does mane sence.
[08:22] <untmdsprt> forkup, do you have a command I can type in in the terminal?
[08:22] <jasper> anyone?
[08:22] <vishal> Dr_Willis: sorry for the connection problems here
[08:22] <forkup> untmdsprt: yea type in top
[08:22] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: make sense...
[08:22] <Dr_Willis> jozefk:  you want to try out  stuff befor you do BIG changes...
[08:23] <jasper> How do i find other rooms ?
[08:23] <forkup> type /list
[08:23] <saik> godricbrutus: I only say "dis" with friends when I'm joking around with them. also didn't notice the typo cause my keyboard is bad
[08:23] <untmdsprt> forkup, that's it?
[08:23] <Dr_Willis> !channels | jasper
[08:23] <untmdsprt> hahaha
[08:23] <forkup> yup
[08:23] <forkup> see what's burning up the most cpu/ram
[08:23] <jozefk> yeah. if you go from LTS > LTS each 3 years that is a big change. it's fresh install
[08:23] <forkup> then kill it
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> 3 years is a LONG time in computer terms.. but ive missed the actual issue. :)
[08:24] <untmdsprt> xorg
[08:24] <vishal> Dr_Willis: Somebody told me to install the broadcom kernel, but it is not seen in the Synaptic Package Manager
[08:24] <jozefk> but upgrading each 6 months not works so well also
[08:24] <untmdsprt> then xchat, and chromium
[08:24] <forkup> restart it
[08:24] <_tydeas_> if i want a home dir to be created i must add to the  /etc/login.defs the line CREATE_DIR=1?
[08:24] <jasper> i cant really use firefox right now
[08:24] <jasper> lol
[08:24] <Flannel> Dr_Willis, jozefk: It's only two years, acutally, until the next LTS comes out.
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> vishal:  ive never heard of a broadcom kernel. there are broadcom DRIVERS and packages
[08:24] <forkup> is it using a lot of cpu?
[08:24] <jasper> so im tring to search for a channel
[08:24] <untmdsprt> forkup, restart x?
[08:24] <jozefk> Flannel, ? how come?
[08:24] <lun4tic> damn had enter characters in my post, sry
[08:24] <bluelf> Ivis, thank you again
[08:25] <forkup> i would if it seems to be using a lot of cpu, you can hit control + alt + backspace to drop to a terminal to restart it
[08:25] <greezmunkey> it's late...have a good one y'all.
[08:25] <Flannel> jozefk: It's supported for three years, but the next one is released in two years.  (Just like non-LTS releases are supported for 18 months, but released every six months)
[08:25] <forkup> or possibly
[08:25] <jozefk> by the way for me there is no big difference if you go for LTS > LTS or upgrade each 6 months because both will not work good if you just upgrade. you need to do fresh install most probably
[08:25] <forkup> or possibly gets it pid number and use kill pidnumber -HUP
[08:25] <forkup> to rehash it
[08:26] <airbrush> what is LTS?
[08:26]  * Dr_Willis finds its often the extra things users do that break the upgrade process
[08:26] <Xpistos> Hello
[08:26] <ubuntu__> airbrush, Long Term Supported
[08:26] <airbrush> oh
[08:26] <Xpistos> I am getting ready to do a fresh install of 10.04 but I am not sure what all I should backup. I have my home folder backed up as well as my fstab and sources.list.d. Is there anything that I am missing?
[08:26] <jozefk> Flannel, OK I see
[08:26] <godricbrutus> every time i boot into ubuntu after i have been on windows, the mouse wheel scrolling is messed up (too fast) on ubuntu. i found an 'article', but if i'm understanding correctly, they are saying it is 'solved' because 'all you have to do' is un-plug and re-plug the usb connector. this doesn't sound like it solved to me. is that what they are saying? un-plug, then re-plug the connector every time we start ubuntu? https://answers.launchp

[08:27] <forkup> godricbrutus: try it and see
[08:27] <forkup> lol
[08:27] <dnielsen> rubydiamond, you can use seahorse
[08:27] <jasper> !channels
[08:27] <jasper> that didnt work
[08:27] <jozefk> Dr_Willis, nobody will use ubuntu as it is after fresh install coz in that case there would not be need for installation. Live CD would do.
[08:27] <jasper> lmao
[08:27] <forkup> i backup all of /etc
[08:27] <untmdsprt> forkup, I understand what you're saying just don't know all the commands
[08:27] <rubydiamond> I am not able to install software from http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/ia32libs/ubuntu
[08:27] <onetinsoldier> jozefk: part of Ubuntu's philosophy is that everyone should have access to recent software releases. i think they part of this comes from a feeling that debian's 2 year release cycle is looong time to wait between stable releases
[08:27] <rubydiamond> dnielsen: I did not get you
[08:27] <godricbrutus> forkup, try what? i did unplug and replug. it works, but i dont want to do that every re-boot
[08:27] <untmdsprt> forkup, how do I restart it first?
[08:27] <rubydiamond> what is seahorse
[08:28] <forkup> untmdsprt: find xorgs pid number in a ps aux then try kill pidnumber -HUP
[08:28] <dnielsen> rubydiamond, it's an application, it manages keyrings, passwords, ssh keys and gpg keys
[08:28] <jasper> ok so here ill just ask, I was updating to 10.04 from 8.04 and i downloaded all the files and it was installing, when i got this Messagebus problem
[08:28] <Xpistos> Dr_Willis: Thanks for the help!
[08:28] <jasper> So i need to know if i should just hard shut down, because i'v been waiting for over an hour for it to load
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> jasper:  downloaded all what files? and installing them how? You dident use the update/package manager upgrade tool?
[08:29] <FailPowah> maybe stupid question, but has linux/ubuntu a file extention that *always is* a text-file so i can just double click it to open it in gedit or something? (nautilius warns on .txt files for example)
[08:29] <jozefk> onetinsoldier, yes. good. some other distros are rolling becuase of the same reason. and ubuntu is not debian. it's just based on debian. and yes, debian releases are tooo looong. debian is more for servers than for desktop
[08:29] <onetinsoldier> past my bedtime here. g'night and good luck to all! cheers
[08:29] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  make sure they are not 'executable' and i dont think it will warn any more
[08:29] <vishal> Dr_Willis: Yes, the kernel is the part of the full name of some package required
[08:29] <forkup> FailPowah: you need to associate the file extention to gedit
[08:29] <Night_Elf> cheers  onetinsoldier
[08:29] <forkup> extension even
[08:29] <FailPowah> Dr_Willis: i coped the txt from my ntfs disk, and iirc its not set +x
[08:29] <onetinsoldier> Night_Elf: thanks :-)
[08:29] <untmdsprt> thanks, I'll see what I can do
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  double check
[08:30] <FailPowah> forkup: only whats needed to get rid of that "nag"?
[08:30] <vishal> Dr_Willis: Apart from that, what could be the actual problem here?
[08:30] <FailPowah> Dr_Willis: wierd, why would it (linux?) set a .txt as +x`
[08:30] <untmdsprt> forkup, but the xfce is the way to go?
[08:30] <rubydiamond> dnielsen: I just opened it "seahorse http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/ia32libs/ubuntu"
[08:30] <theadmin> damn. is LVPM in the repos? Can't find the damn thing
[08:30] <forkup> associate teh file extension
[08:30] <rubydiamond> dnielsen: how to add key
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  it dident..  the fact it was on a windows drive made it appear as a executable.. it just copied the origianl permissions/modes
[08:31] <dnielsen> rubydiamond, oh.. you want to add a ppa and the key, why didn't you say
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  same as it would do for any other filesystem
[08:31] <FailPowah> Dr_Willis: oohkay, wierd from my POV ;P
[08:31] <FailPowah> Dr_Willis: forkup: thanks both
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  thats how you have to do things with ntfs/vfat
[08:31] <rubydiamond> dnielsen: yea :p
[08:31] <Night_Elf> FailPowah: To what I know, when you access from linux a ntfs filesystem, usaully all the files have the execute permition set
[08:31] <rubydiamond> dnielsen: how to add keys... ? help
[08:32] <Night_Elf> FailPowah: linux permissions don't have an exact counterpart in ntfs
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  theres other options to mount them differently for ntfs/vfat - but it can be quirky.
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  a directory has to be 'executable' for you to 'enter' it and access its contents
[08:33] <dnielsen> rubydiamond, sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <key id>  -- also you may want to practice the word please
[08:33] <FailPowah> Dr_Willis: and it copies the directories flags to the files when i copy it?
[08:33] <godricbrutus> every time i boot into ubuntu after i have been on windows, the mouse wheel scrolling on my Microsoft Arc™ Mouse is messed up (too fast) on ubuntu. i found an 'article', but if i'm understanding correctly, they are saying it is 'solved' because 'all you have to do' is un-plug and re-plug the usb connector. this doesn't sound like it solved to me. is that what they are saying? un-plug, then re-plug the connector every time we start ub
[08:33] <godricbrutus> untu? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 . also, i can't set my mouse speed within ubuntu.
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  it copies over the permissions/modes/ownership - yes
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  look on the ntfs drive.. its likely that EVERY file and EVERY dir. is 'executable'
[08:34] <FailPowah> Dr_Willis: ok
[08:34] <FyreFoX> is there a list of printers that work with lucid 64bit ?
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  theres  fmask/dmask options one can use to tweak it via the mount options.
[08:34] <rubydiamond> dnielsen: what is key id
[08:34] <Docteh> FyreFoX: buy something that supports PCL
[08:34] <dnielsen> rubydiamond, for the xorg-edgers ppa e.g. (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa) thkey id is 8844C542 - replace for your ppa of choice. And again politeness will get you everywhere
[08:34] <FailPowah> Dr_Willis: i "just use" the places menu to access either my harddrive (in computer) or my share from my win server.
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> FailPowah:  so its setting defaults that let you access everything
[08:35] <rubydiamond> dnielsen: thanks for the help :D
[08:35] <FyreFoX> Docteh: what about drivers? Canon, brother, epson ?
[08:35] <vishal> UBUNTU 10.04 not connecting to WiFi, Pl Help
[08:36] <Docteh> FyreFoX: you can run 32bit software in 64bit kernel, just need the libraries, shouldn't have any problems vs running 32bit
[08:36] <dnielsen> rubydiamond, in the future please add ppas and gpg keys at the same time via e.g. synaptic or the add-apt-repository command. It will save you a lot of trouble
[08:36] <FailPowah> Dr_Willis: oki, thanks again
[08:36] <FyreFoX> Docteh: ah ok. thanks

[08:40] <FyreFoX> Dr_Willis: thats kind of the impression im getting from googling, would you suggest another make?
[08:40] <godricbrutus> forkup, no. how do i do that?
[08:40] <airbrush> epson have printer drivers, so do hp iirc
[08:40] <dnielsen> rubydiamond, you are adding a ppa specifically compiled for working around premature inclusion of Client-side Decorations and RGBA support in Maverick. It has no application in Lucid what so ever. You don't need it
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> FyreFoX:  HP and Brother -  but it depends on your needs. Check the reviews befor you buy
[08:40] <jozefk> HP should work
[08:40] <forkup> sec

[08:42] <dnielsen> oh gadget sale.. must resist adding more junk to my collection

[08:42] <forkup> godricbrutus: use ps aux | grep mouse to get the process id number (it's pid) then use kill pidnumber -HUP replacing pidnumber with the actual process id
[08:43] <dnielsen> airbrush, I have 3 mp3 players, 2 smartphones and a disturbing amount of storage devices.. enough must be enough
[08:43] <dnielsen> granted the first smartphone was an HTC Hero which sucked so royally it hardly counts

[08:48] <tham_> Dr_Willis: If so, how can I disable them?

[08:49] <godricbrutus> airbrush, no idea what that means, but i imagine it's quite funny
[08:49] <dnielsen> tham_, go to the look and feel application (System->setting->Look and feel) then set the effects tab setting to none
[08:49] <airbrush> dnielsen, yep, I tire of trying to draw with a mouse
[08:49] <tham_> Dr_Willis: ah okay, thanx

[08:49] <tham_> dnielsen: There's no option called Look n feel, do you mean Display?
[08:50] <Revodution> oh my. He's showering
[08:50] <airbrush> godricbrutus: the cntrl-alt-F3 chord will put you into a virtual terminal, use cntrl-alt-F6 to get back, ... may be F5 on some

[08:51] <Revodution> dnielsen what kind of "design documents"? UML?
[08:51] <dnielsen> tham_, sorry, in english it's called Appearance (I use Danish locale normally)
[08:51] <tham_> dnielsen: ah okay, thx :)
[08:51] <godricbrutus> airbrush, what is ratpoison?
[08:51] <godricbrutus> i just googled it
[08:51] <airbrush> a window manager that runs from the key-board
[08:51] <airbrush> no mouse needed
[08:52] <airbrush> kills the mouse ... get it?
[08:52] <dnielsen> Revodution, text.. I will turn them into a specification and UML over time but at the moment I have spent the most of my time thinking about how things should work

[08:53] <Cygnus_boy> Hai
[08:54] <rocket16> tham_: Yes, notifications, alerts, alarms, reminders of Evolution etc. Also, the Evolution Clock Task-Appointment Integration won't work,
[08:54] <rocket16> tham_: But the workouts are there,
[08:54] <Revodution> dnielsen I see. What exactly is a "desktop concept project"?
[08:55] <tham_> rocket16: I see. Btw, will wobbly windows work with LXDE?
[08:55] <airtonix> tham_, no

[08:55] <CodenameStrike> I need to know something about checkinstall: can I use the .deb package from its output on another computer, provided that its the same architecture as the machine I used it on? As in, amd64-based .deb on another amd64 machine?
[08:56] <needz> Just testing out irc on empathy, and guys, I'm loving it. Recently switched to ubuntu and I'm have a blast. Keep up the hard work. Gnight
[08:56] <tham_> airtonix: Hmm, too bad.
[08:56] <Revodution> needz thanks
[08:56] <cyberkids> alooooo
[08:56] <cyberkids> trime\
[08:56] <needz> :]
[08:56] <rocket16> tham_: No, desktop effects aren't there in LXDE.
[08:56] <needz> Im so happy
[08:56] <cyberkids> aloooooo
[08:57] <cyberkids> ajwak95
[08:57] <airtonix> tham_, you can use xcompmgr instead to provide basic compositing (so that programs that require it still work)
[08:57] <saik> dnielsen: http://gcachescan.jonatkins.com/ but I see no ips    how can I add those?
[08:57] <dnielsen> Revodution, think about it as an evolutionary approach to making to the desktop more structured. It's hard to explain hence when I publish the documents I would love mockups to go with some of the ideas as well as screencasts of what I have been using here for a couple of months
[08:58] <tham_> airtonix: ah okay, thx for the tip :)
[08:58] <airtonix> tham_, this is for openbox window manager, but the concept should work exactly the same : http://crunchbang.org/archives/2008/03/02/openbox-xcompmgr-transset-and-conky/
[08:58] <Revodution> dnielsen ok, sounds interesting, keep us informed
[08:58] <xukun> how do I know which grub version I'm using?
[08:59] <dnielsen> Revodution, I try to, I was supposed to publish months ago, but high flying ideas and real life got in the way
[08:59] <dnielsen> screw you real life.. always messing up my productive online work
[08:59] <Revodution> I hate that real life. It's like those job things
[08:59] <Revodution> always get in the way
[08:59]  * dnielsen kicks gvfs-smb why oh why are you 10 times slower than nfs.. 
[08:59] <tham_> airtonix: is openbox something like LXDE?
[09:00]  * dnielsen kicks nfs why oh why are you so utterly unstable
[09:00] <CodenameStrike> Uh, nevermind about my checkinstall question, looks like I just answered my own question by looking it up :/
[09:00] <airtonix> tham_, yes but leaner
[09:00] <godricbrutus> every time i boot into ubuntu after i have been on windows, the mouse wheel scrolling on my Microsoft Arc™ Mouse is messed up (too fast) on ubuntu. i found an 'article', but if i'm understanding correctly, they are saying it is 'solved' because 'all you have to do' is un-plug and re-plug the usb connector. this doesn't sound like it solved to me. is that what they are saying? un-plug, then re-plug the connector every time we start ub
[09:00] <godricbrutus> untu? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 . also, i can't set my mouse speed within ubuntu.
[09:00] <untmdsprt> well, I'm going to have to say that the lxde screen manager is better for my computer
[09:01] <Revodution> CodenameStrike what an absurd notion! Looking it up yourself?? Are you crazy???
[09:01] <tham_> airtonix: ah i see
[09:01] <Revodution> CodenameStrike next you'll start using man pages

[09:02] <Revodution> CaptainTrek thank you so much. From all the other OT conversation I hadn't realized it was strictly enforced here. Consider me totally on topic from now on
[09:02] <danpandrea> I've unmounted my CD-ROM. How do I mount it back?
[09:02] <Revodution> bazhang oh, of course, of course
[09:02] <wrapster> i mean just with quotes?
[09:03] <FrozenInferno> So is there a reason sun-java6 packages aren't showing up in Synaptic?
[09:03] <needz> Actually I just ran into a snag so I'm back.
[09:04] <ericm|ubuntu> anyone knows how to restart a gnome applet?
[09:04] <airbrush> needz, whatch out, them snags'll snag ya
[09:04] <needz> If I load flash on a page, switch tabs, the flash embed becomes gray and stops working.
[09:04] <Eubolist> danpandrea: open and close again
[09:04] <danpandrea> eubolist: open and close what?
[09:04] <Eubolist> or in a terminal type sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
[09:05] <Eubolist> open and close your cdrom drive
[09:05] <airbrush> There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

[09:06] <Illuminatus> do you know if notepad allows make Macros ?
[09:07] <Illuminatus> sorry gedit, not notepad :p
[09:07] <KurtKraut> What is the proper way to propose (not just request) a feature for next Ubuntu release?
[09:07] <CaptainTrek> Illuminatus:  define "Macros"
[09:07] <bricky> is there a shortcut key to hide all windows?
[09:07] <needz> Anyone helping me with my flash problem?
[09:07] <CaptainTrek> needz: explain your problem to me plz
[09:07] <tv-freak> How ro run multiple commands (gedit && shutdown) consecutively on gnome-schedule? The second command is executed only when gedit is closed. Other ideas on how to notify users about shutdown?
[09:08] <needz> I'll open up a new tab, load youtube video, switch to first tab, and youtube stops working
[09:08] <needz> the flash embed just cuts off
[09:08] <Kien> Hi all
[09:08] <geekyogi> how to enable root login on Ubuntu 10.04.?
[09:09] <Flannel> geekyogi: You don't need to enable the root login, use sudo instead.
[09:09] <CaptainTrek> geekyogi:  we won't tell you here, if yo ugoogle it there might be instructions
[09:09] <Illuminatus> CaptainTrek: I mean, I want to be able to put automaticly certain tags in my html code
[09:09] <geekyogi> Flannel: sudo su works fine.. but i need direct su root login
[09:09] <Flannel> geekyogi: What for?
[09:10] <Illuminatus> for example when I do alt+n put the sentence in bold (html)
[09:10] <Illuminatus> do you understand me
[09:10] <zamba> geekyogi: set a password for the root user
[09:10] <CaptainTrek> Illuminatus:  no, i dont think gedit can do that
[09:10] <CaptainTrek> Illuminatus:  yes i understood you xD
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> its better to use 'sudo -s'   as needed. not sudo su
[09:10] <geekyogi> Flannel: just am getting uncomfortable with sudo su
[09:10] <Flannel> or sudo -i
[09:10] <Kien> Anybody ever used utangle with ubuntu? Ty
[09:10] <Flannel> geekyogi: Why's that?
[09:10] <needz> su su sudio
[09:10] <geekyogi> zamba: where's the option.?
[09:11] <zamba> geekyogi: 'sudo passwd'
[09:11] <geekyogi> Flannel: coz all other distros allow su
[09:11] <zamba> geekyogi: but - as the others in here have pointed out - you should have some good reasons for wanting that
[09:11] <Flannel> geekyogi: There's really no reason you'd need to enable the root account.  And you should be more uncomfortable enabling the root login than using sudo.
[09:11] <Flannel> geekyogi: "because they do it" isn't a very good reason.  Ubuntu chooses to use sudo instead of a root account because it's more secure, and provides you with more flexibility
[09:12] <zamba> Flannel: the only reason i've found to enable the root user is if you want to do remote backups with rdiff-backup -to- the box
[09:12] <Illuminatus> CaptainTrek: my english is not really good sorry :p Do you know a program similar notepad++
[09:12] <Illuminatus> in ubuntu of course
[09:12] <zamba> Illuminatus: gedit
[09:12] <xukun> my ubuntu 10.04 still uses grub. How can I upgrade to grub2?
[09:12] <CaptainTrek> Illuminatus:  nope.
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> Illuminatus:  i perfer geany for a text editor
[09:12] <llutz> zamba: you can use ssh-keys, no need for a root-account
[09:12] <zamba> llutz: i'm using ssh keys
[09:13] <zamba> llutz: but i still need to be able to log in as root
[09:13] <geekyogi> Flannel: Zamba: Hmm.. Its secure.. But just for the sake of tweaking ubuntu.. is it possible?
[09:13] <zamba> geekyogi: sure
[09:13] <llutz> zamba: forced-commands-only  works without an enabled account
[09:13] <Flannel> geekyogi: Of course it is.  But if you ask me, "because I can" isn't a good reason to make a box less secure ;)
[09:14] <Flannel> geekyogi: You can read all about this, including a few pros and cons here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:14] <zamba> llutz: that's interesting.. thanks :)
[09:14] <geekyogi> zamba: Flannel: alright. :)
[09:14] <FrozenInferno> Can anyone tell me why my Synaptic doesn't list any Sun Java packages even though I enabled the multiverse repo?
[09:14] <zamba> llutz: didn't know about the force-commands-only option
[09:14] <Illuminatus> Dr_Willis: can you create macros with geany ?
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> FrozenInferno:  its in the 'partners' repo now
[09:15] <Dr_Willis> Illuminatus:  Never noticed.. proberly can.     You may want to spend the time learning VI. it can do most everything :)
[09:15] <Merwin> hello
[09:15] <kami> hi
[09:15] <Onlooker> hello
[09:16] <Kien> What the different between editor vi and nano?
[09:16] <Illuminatus> Dr_Willis: puff I don't want vi :p
[09:16] <FrozenInferno> Dr_Willis: Thanks, I had enabled every repo to try to find it, but I had just forgotten to reload. Lol, thanks again.
[09:16] <Onlooker> nano is slightly less confusing
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> Kien:  like the differance btween a unicycle and the space shuttle.
[09:16] <Revodution> !ot | Dr_Willis
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> Illuminatus:  i guess you look int eh package manager and try out the varios editors
[09:16] <Onlooker> nano is much better to use
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> nano so limited - its almost useless for my needs
[09:17] <Flannel> Revodution: Please don't use nonsensical factoids, thanks.
[09:17] <Onlooker> i can write anything with it, esp scripts, cpp, py
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> Onlooker:  you could use 'dd'  or 'edit' also.. that dosent make it better for the job.
[09:18] <eman1> Hi
[09:18] <Revodution> Flannel I'm afraid an answer like "like the differance btween a unicycle and the space shuttle." helps no one. I will reserve my right to protect the integrity of the channel from  such non-answers. Thanks you.
[09:18] <Dr_Willis> so much for analogys :)
[09:18] <Onlooker> it does when you gotta 12-year-old laptop
[09:18] <Merwin> I would like to "pause" ubuntu boot until an USB key is unplugged: ls /dev/sd*; sleep 1 until there is no usb key. The problem is that I want to show a message to the user, but with Ubuntu lucid I don't know how to do that, there is no console message.
[09:18] <Illuminatus> Dr_Willis: CaptainTrek thanks
[09:18] <Flannel> Revodution: It was an accurate statement, actually.  There's no need to be facetious.
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> Geany is one of the most full features text editors ive used over the years. 'fte' is also very handy. but  a bit weird.  The only editors ive seen with more features would have tobe Emacs and Vi/Variants of the 2
[09:19] <Revodution> Flannel perhaps we could either drop this conversation or continue it in another venue. It is very OT. Thank you for your input though.
[09:19] <Flannel> Revodution: Feel free to join me in #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-ops
[09:20] <Revodution> Flannel thank you
[09:20] <Onlooker> never tried geany.....text mode?
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> !info geany
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> its a gtk2 app Onlooker  - also ported to windows
[09:21] <Onlooker> definitely  would have some use....unfortunately I'm stuck with laptop...k6 with 128 ram
[09:21] <Onlooker> which is why i use ubuntu serv
[09:21] <Onlooker> no gui
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> Onlooker:  check out fte/efte then - for a fancy console based etiror.
[09:22] <Onlooker> will do, ty
[09:23] <Kien> Hi all which usb adapter works best with ubuntu intrepid?ty
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> Onlooker:  i noticed theres like 2 variants of fte now.  i think efte is the new fork.

[09:51] <Galerien> Dougdoug4: long time suport
[09:51] <Flannel> christmas11: Reboot, and choose "recovery console" at GRUB
[09:51] <psypher246> hi all, what do u do when kill -9 does NOT killa  process, cannot reboot
[09:51] <Dougdoug4> So 10.04 will be supported for a longer period of time?
[09:51] <j0rd> Galerien: wtf is wave64 decoder?
[09:51] <Flannel> Galerien, Dougdoug4: Long Term Support.  It's supported for 3 years (on the desktop) instead of the usual 18 months.
[09:51] <Galerien> Dougdoug4: means that it's supported until 2013 ( or 14?)
[09:52] <j0rd> Galerien: i would assume it can already play waves
[09:52] <phcoder> how do you set gfxpayload=keep in grub 1.96?
[09:52] <christmas11> Flannel: there is no grub timeout, and I can't change /ect/default/grub without sudo access
[09:52]  * airbrush watches the FloodBot wars

[09:54] <alejandro_> i uninstalled nessus from synaptic, but now i cannot find it in list. How can i get it back?
[09:54] <Galerien> airbrush: ok well, maybe :s
[09:55] <airbrush> BluesKaj, yep, awsome thunder!
[09:55] <hostergaard> ok, i bougth this pc. It had windows xp and ubuntu installed (it was privatly assembled) I used XP even tougth it was quite unstable when playing certain games. I tougth this was due to an bad graphic driver and installed a new one. this made my PC go completly haywire and now pretty much default to blue screen of dead. So I finaly decided to try the Ubuntu instalation since i had been thinking about trying it for a long time.
[09:55] <alejandro_> i think i removed it from synaptic
[09:55] <Doyle> psypher246: If it's your own process, you can logout and login again.
[09:55] <psypher246> and if thats not an option?
[09:55] <wise_crypt> christmas11 : http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[09:55] <killermask>  <slowz> this file is not there init.d
[09:56] <slowz> exp: sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop
[09:56] <Doyle> psypher246: you loose the killall processname    type killall firefo(PRESS TAB) for example
[09:56] <alejandro_> i removed an item from synaptic how can i get it back?
[09:56] <hostergaard> when i bought it the pc the XP didnt need a password. I cant get in tuch with the guy i bugth the pc from and i dont know what username he used for his ubuntu install...
[09:58] <christmas11> wise_crypt: I love you
[09:59] <hostergaard> So, I need to know how to figure out the username and if  there is a a password, a way to get into ubuntu
[09:59] <Munce> hostergaard: you can use the live CD
 ????
[09:59] <Galerien> are bots fighting ?
[10:00] <Munce> hostergaard: here's a guide http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-ubuntu-password-easily-from-the-live-cd/
[10:00] <slowz> killermask: the error says dnsmasq is running on eth1 i would try to stop that proccess and run your app again
[10:00] <hostergaard> Munce: thanks! :-) but if i dont have a live cd?
[10:00] <Munce> it's for an older version of ubuntu, but it should work the same way
[10:00] <Munce> you'll need to get one, unfortunately

[10:01] <Dr_Willis> hostergaard:  you can boot a live cd, and chroot into a system and change/explore/fix most of that.
[10:01] <hostergaard> I live in denmark. whats the easiest way? thanks by the way.
[10:01] <wise_crypt> !unetbootin
[10:01] <slowz> im not sure but i think dnsmasq is just a local dns cache

[10:01] <Dr_Willis> hostergaard:  live cd + a little bit of knowledge
[10:01] <rubydiamond> help
[10:01] <Munce> hostergaard: you can either torrent it or download it. you can request one sent to you, but it takes a long time
[10:02] <hostergaard> *ah, whats the easiest way to get a live cd?
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> hostergaard:  go download  the iso
[10:02] <Munce> hostergaard: just in case you don't know, a live CD is just your basic install CD
[10:02] <KayAteChef> what is a good program to make webdesign easy?
[10:02] <KayAteChef> I know very little about web publishing
[10:02] <avg_guy> this is going to sound kinda stupid but here it goes. I am trying to take a bunch of folders and archive them all at once in to there own foldername.compresed is there a way to do this with out having to compress the main folder?
[10:02] <CARAM> KayAteChef, how little?
[10:02] <Munce> hostergaard: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[10:02] <KayAteChef> I do not know html
[10:03] <CARAM> then you're screwed
[10:03] <CARAM> learn html
[10:03] <hostergaard> rigth, now that i think about it, i migth ahve a very old ubuntu cd laying around that i got from a friend. will that work?
[10:03] <Doyle> KayAteChef: start with learning html. Search 'html tutorial' or something, and go from there. In linux i use bluefish to program
[10:03] <rautamiekka> KayAteChef: Try Kompozer or NVU
[10:03] <Munce> KayAteChef: you should learn that first. you can use gedit (the text editor) and it will highlight the right things. here's a good tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
[10:04] <KayAteChef> ok... I shall learn html
[10:04] <iamm> hi my network manager status was disconnected but i was able to surf the internet, anyone could help me?

[10:04] <CARAM> avg_guy,
[10:04] <CARAM> you just want to tar a directory?
[10:04] <CARAM> I'm confused
[10:04] <gl0wurm3wE> is there a way I can spin my own ubuntu dvd with my current packages and pref?

[10:06] <Ness123> hey
[10:06] <Munce> KayAyeChef: HTML is kind of the core of webdesign. and it's perhaps the easiest bit. css and php can be far more complicated
[10:06] <slowz> neodemi: there is netbook iso's
[10:06] <Ness123> i need help
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> neodemi:  there used to be a 'not supported by this channel' variant known as eeebuntu   (never tried it)
[10:06] <CARAM> even CSS
[10:06] <CARAM> is very basic
[10:06] <Ness123> i am try
[10:06] <neodemi> eeebuntu is what i was running, but i hosed the install somehow
[10:07] <CARAM> I mean, without any HTML or CSS you have no business trying to create a website

[10:07] <iamm> hi my network manager status was disconnected but i was able to surf the internet, anyone could help me?
[10:07] <KayAteChef> Munce I am starting the tutorial
[10:07] <CARAM> hagus
[10:07] <KayAteChef> perhaps it is for the best
[10:08] <Hagus> yes CARAM :)
[10:08] <CARAM> umm
[10:08] <CARAM> I'm trying to think what it is for ubuntu
[10:08] <CARAM> do you have an /etc/rc.conf?
[10:08] <Galerien> Ness123: ... please don't troll...
[10:08] <Hagus> Do not seem to, CARAM
[10:09] <Munce> KayAteChef: be patient, and you'll learn eventually. there's also a good plugin for firefox, called "firebug" which lets you see the code of any website you're on (and change it). a good way to learn
[10:09] <KayAteChef> ok I'll install it and see what happens
[10:09] <zeer> I want to shutdown the PC with a normal user. I have put this line into visudo 'zeer        ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown -h now', but he says only root can do that or if I place sudo before, he wants the root pw.
[10:09] <Hagus> cd /etc/rc.conf -> bash: cd: /etc/rc.conf: No such file or directory
[10:09] <Ness123> windows is better than the linux ubunt shit
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> zeer:  sudo normally wants the users password.
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> zeer:  as a cheap/dirty way to get  where any user can 'shutdown' you can set the 'suid' bit on the shutdown binary. (a very bad security practice) :)
[10:10] <airbrush> Ness123 you having trouble with ubuntu?
[10:10] <CARAM> hagus can you
[10:10] <CARAM> wgetpaste your /etc/init.d file

[10:13] <Flannel> Ness123: Please mind your language.

[10:15] <CARAM> paste rc.local please?
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> killermask:  most updates are for security issues.

[10:15] <airbrush> killermask, most people don't

[10:16] <slowz> J11: chown your home dir.
[10:16] <godricbrutus> Dr_Willis, i would at least like to know if there is somehow to enable modifying my mouse speed
[10:16] <tham_> What do eth0, eth1, etc mean?
[10:16] <gl0wurm3wE> dose the alternate install include a minimal install? or is there a net install disk like debian?
[10:17] <CARAM> tham_,  they are your network interfaces
[10:17] <slowz> seems a weird way to move your home dir, never seen it done like that
[10:17] <Hagus> CARAM: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PjZG5Tdt
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> godricbrutus:  no idea on that. the mouse speed adjustment tool works here for me. My mouse als has its own +/- speed buttons.
[10:17] <tham_> CARAM thx
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> godricbrutus:  under mouse perferances. thers speed/accel sliders
[10:18] <gl0wurm3wE> oh i found it google is my friend
[10:18] <godricbrutus> Dr_Willis, i tried that, and it is unresponsive
[10:18] <unspin> hmmm, it seems that i can't use gnome-art to install gdm themes in ubuntu 10.04
[10:18] <gl0wurm3wE> omg only 13 mb https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> unspin:  you dont .. :)
[10:19] <unspin> oh
[10:19] <unspin> lol
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> unspin:  gdm is radically changed now.
[10:19] <unspin> so, like, its not radical anymore?
[10:19] <CARAM> Hagus, did you install it via synaptic?
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> ITs a work in progress unspin
[10:20] <CARAM> if so, just go to System -> System Administration
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> unspin:  ubuntu has been using 'gdm2' last 2 releses (i think), so the old gdm themes dont work
[10:20] <Hagus> Yes, using the update
[10:20] <CARAM> then services
[10:20] <unspin> oh!
[10:20] <unspin> crap
[10:20] <unspin> okay :P
[10:20] <Hagus> Where do I find services?
[10:20] <unspin> thats how it goes i suppose
[10:20] <unspin> at least i can change the background with ubuntu-tweak
[10:20] <CARAM> you don't see the button?
[10:21] <CARAM> under system administration that says services?
[10:21] <Hagus> nope
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> unspin:  theres other tools out also to tweak gdm some more
[10:21] <Hagus> no
[10:21] <Hagus> lemme look at my menu edit
[10:22] <Hagus> no - not listed in menu editor either
[10:22] <unspin> Dr_Willis, do you remember what they are called offhand?

[10:27] <J11> slowz: thx, chowning my homedir worked
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> unspin:  gdm2setup comes to mind. Check OMGubuntu and webupd8 web sites for others
[10:28] <CARAM> then Hagus do sudo update-rc.d apache2 remove I think
[10:28] <Hagus> That was the response to my sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults
[10:28] <CARAM> and then sudo update-rc.d apache defaults
[10:28] <Hagus> ah ta
[10:29] <unspin> Dr_Willis, thanks!

[10:34] <CARAM> No problem
[10:34] <jake__> anybody here using lucid?
[10:34] <Dr_Willis> jake__:  a large # of us are
[10:35] <jake__> i have a machine running an amd sempron! any specific bugs or otherwise that i need to be aware of Dr_Willis. i have intrepid right now and i want to update :)
[10:35] <sarthorks2> Dr_Willis, well i just want to try it. Could you suggest a solution to "server not found" for lyrics search plugin in rhythmbox
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> jake__:  no idea.   check the forums for issues perhaps. I doubt if the cpu will be much of a problem.
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> sarthorks2:  check the forums/bug reports for  newer bug reports and possible fixs -
[10:36] <Galerien> jake__: I don't think you will have any problem, I have another pc on celeron and no problem
[10:37] <jake__> Dr_Willis: ok but is stable otherwise?
[10:37] <sarthorks2> Dr_Willis, ok
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> jake__:  why wouldent it be. :)
[10:37] <Galerien> jake__: If it's a cleen install, you shouldn't have any problem, but some of us had problem with update... (just "some", as : not often)
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> Lucid is running fine on my 4+ machines.
[10:37] <jake__> ahh great Galerien, so is there anything i should know before i update? i am planning to do a fresh install. will google that. and also what is the best way to enable my wireless driver right after install?
[10:38] <Night_Elf> jake__: the machine you are in is a server? If not, why not see how it goes with the live-cd ? Or install it on a removable usb disk (like I did on my 1TB puppy :D  )
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> jake__:  depends on the wireless card.  on one laptop. i had to plug in a wired cable for a few min. to download the latest wirelewss drivers for the wirelesscard
[10:38] <jake__> Dr_Willis: read about a lot of bugs issues a while back and i'm not too fond of fixing problems on ubuntu :p
[10:38] <Galerien> jake__: I had no problem with my wireless card...
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> jake__:  if you look for bugs for anything.. you will alwyas find lots of bugs and issues.
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> jake__:  try it and see for yourself.
[10:38] <Night_Elf> jake__: what chipset do you have in your wifi card ?
[10:39] <jake__> Night_Elf: i ran the livecd, didn't do much with it but checked out the interface, really liked it and now want to install. during that much i didnt feel any poblems :p
[10:39] <gl0wurm3wE> when ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 1 comes out what kernel will it have?
[10:39] <jake__> hmmmmmm!
[10:39] <CARAM> jake__,
[10:39] <iceroot> gl0wurm3wE: #ubuntu+1
[10:39] <CARAM> when you ran the livecd did your wireless drivers work?
[10:39] <Night_Elf> jake__: some people with nvidia graphics have had some issues with 10.04.
[10:39] <Galerien> jake__: livecd is a good way to find out about the wireless
[10:40] <Galerien> Night_Elf: jake__ : And ATI graphics too (living example :D)
[10:40] <jake__> CARAM: no it was disabled and i didnt try anything and i remember when i installed itrepid i had to do some file manipulation and all that . bwcutter or somethig
[10:40] <Jo3e> hey guys i want to buy an external hard disk and well i was wondering should i go for the ssd or the normal one's and i know that this is'nt related to ubuntu but i just want to get a general opinion
[10:40] <jake__> i have an ati200m
[10:40] <jake__> what kind of problems Galerien
[10:40] <iceroot> Jo3e: #hardware
[10:41] <Galerien> jake__: It wasn't related to the driver, just the update, If you do a clean install, you should be good
[10:41] <Night_Elf> lol Galerien. then for some reason, 10.04 has graphical issues. Myself have an nvidia in my laptop. I do have small weird things which are more a nuisance than a problem
[10:42] <Galerien> Night_Elf: I have "no direct rendering and no opengl" kind of problem :D
[10:42] <Jo3e> apparently #hardware is an invite only channel
[10:42] <CARAM> Jo3e, try ##hardware
[10:42] <Night_Elf> Galerien: oh wow. You're happily stuck with basic functionality ehh. ^^
[10:43] <CARAM> I don't bother using the nvidia drivers
[10:43] <enriq> hello. I don't see the network manager applet, how do i enable it?
[10:43] <Galerien> Night_Elf: yep... I will clean that up when my work is finish, until then...
[10:43] <CARAM> I use the open source nv ones as they work better for me
[10:43] <Night_Elf> Galerien: but on the other hand I have always had the feel that ATI sucks when it comes to support linux
[10:43] <CARAM> proprietary ones detected my LCD as a CRT
[10:43] <CARAM> >:|
[10:43] <Hagus> CARAM: I have rebooted and the server reloaded fine.
[10:43] <CARAM> yay
[10:43] <CARAM> now if you add anything else
[10:43] <CARAM> like mysql
[10:43] <CARAM> just do the same thing
[10:43] <Hagus> However, the Services is not to be seen on menu.
[10:43] <Galerien> Night_Elf: It did for a while, but now we have some good suport
[10:43] <jake__> damn it! i just realised i have no space to take a backup!
[10:44] <Night_Elf> CARAM: I know what you mean. But that darn compiz is way too cool to ignore :(
[10:44] <Hagus> ty CARAM.
[10:44] <Galerien> CARAM: I don't know about nvidia, but with ATI if you want to get opengl, you don't have any choice
[10:44] <CARAM> Hagus, no idea what you can do about that
[10:44] <Night_Elf> jake__: no external usb drive ?
[10:45] <jake__> Night_Elf: just some TINY ones :D
[10:45] <Galerien> jake__: or burn a DVD... ?
[10:45] <Hagus> Ever since I upgraded to 10.10, my cursor keeps defaulting to an x.  I think it is some sort of thematic issue or driver issue.
[10:45] <brijithmac> hi all, I need graphically represent subversion please help
[10:45] <jake__> dont have a dvd burner Galerien
[10:45] <mc__> for nvidia there is a project calle noveau which procieds open source drivers with hardware acceleration,  does not support a cards though
[10:45] <Hagus> I have to keep selecting Appearance and normal to get it to go away.
[10:45] <CARAM> yeah nouveau and nv
[10:45] <ericm|ubuntu> anyone know who's maintaining package libusb?
[10:45] <Galerien> Hagus: 10.10? Feeling lucky ?? :D
[10:46] <mc__> damm I just installed the 2.6.34 kernel - it gives a VERY noticeable speed boost, amazing
[10:46] <CARAM> mc__, did you compile it yourself?
[10:46] <keck> \join isf
[10:46] <Hagus> Do you think that I should have stuck with 10.04?
[10:46] <CARAM> Otherwise, I doubt it was the kernel that did it.
[10:47] <Galerien> mc__: Nvidia is calling his driver "nouveau" That's a French word :D
[10:47] <Night_Elf> Hagus: I have some small nuisances with the mouse too. I always get the default while one, while I have selected and want the black one. The change works only when I disable desktop effects (compiz). I use nvidia drivers
[10:47] <mc__> CARAM, I did
[10:47] <CARAM> well that's probably what did it then
[10:47] <CARAM> not the update
[10:47] <Hagus> me too, Night_Elf.
[10:47] <Hagus> I like the wobbly screens though :)
[10:47] <CARAM> lol
[10:47] <mc__> well 2.6.34 brought some speed improvements, but probably it's mostly though to the optimization yeah
[10:48] <CARAM> I lost a weeks worth of productivity
[10:48] <CARAM> when I got compiz
[10:48] <CARAM> WHEE FIRE
[10:48] <FloodBot1> CARAM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:48] <Night_Elf> Hagus: hehe. But after 3 days I disable the wobbling. It just messes too much with my eyes :p
[10:48] <CARAM> WIGGLY SCREENS, I LOVE WATER
[10:48] <mc__> compiz is the easiest way to turn people into ubuntu evangelists
[10:48] <jake__> Galerien: once i do a clean install, which will be a dual boot, do i need to do anything to the grub for my windows xp to show up?
[10:49] <Night_Elf> CARAM: Hagus: what I find useful is the SUPER+A  and SUPER+TAB combinations while in compiz
[10:49] <llutz> mc__: only people who never want/have to work with a computer
[10:49] <CARAM> the zoom out ones?
[10:49] <CARAM> I can't remember what they did
[10:49] <Hagus> Not sure that I hve tried these, Night_Elf?
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> wife likes the zoom features.
[10:49] <Galerien> jake__: I don't think that grup add a windows partition just like that...
[10:49] <mc__> llutz, not all compiz features are annoying
[10:49] <Night_Elf> CARAM: Hagus: The one that zooms the windows and places them all on the desktop to click-select what you want
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> mc__:  just most of the ones people go all goo-goo for. ;)
[10:50] <llutz> Dr_Willis:thats the only usefull feature i know
[10:50] <Night_Elf> and the one that rotates them around
[10:50] <Hagus> I have just tried it, ty :)
[10:50] <mc__> Dr_Willis, indeed :)
[10:50] <Hagus> ty - I shall be making use of that too :)
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> llutz:  that one that dims the other windows so she stays focused on the current one is handy. and thers a feature that puts ROOT: in the title of any app running as root
[10:51] <ventti> HIya guys - I am using 64 bit 9.04 at the moment - of course each time I update I am presented with the option to update everything to V 10. Question: is the update straight forward - apart from backing up personal data, is there anything else I should be mindful of?
[10:51] <jake__> Galerien: so there is something that i would need to do! sorry, i am a complete n00b :)
[10:51] <Night_Elf> Dr_Willis: yea that focus/dim is cool too
[10:51] <Galerien> ventti: What is you graphic card?
[10:51] <genctelefon> slm
[10:51] <Galerien> jake__: hold on a sec
[10:51] <ventti> ati hd mobility 4650
[10:52] <Galerien> jake__: RTFM ==> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto ;)
[10:52] <ventti> machine is hp dv6 1130rx
[10:52] <ventti> 1130 tx *
[10:52] <Galerien> ventti: What is you graphic card???
[10:52] <jake__> thanks Galerien
[10:52] <ventti> see above :)
[10:52] <ventti> [19:51] <ventti> ati hd mobility 4650
[10:52] <Galerien> ho, sorry
[10:52] <ventti> radeon
[10:52] <ventti> :)
[10:52] <CARAM> just do it
[10:52] <CARAM> ^_^
[10:53] <CARAM> if it doesn't work out it's not like you can't get your data off via livecd
[10:53] <jake__> Galerien: it says these notes do not apply to a clean install of karmic or later :)
[10:53] <Galerien> ventti: well, I have some problem with my HDM3650
[10:53] <Galerien> jake__: then you are safe I guess :D
[10:53] <enriq> Network manager applet is not shown. Running lucid. how do i enable it?
[10:53] <Guest69408> EN
[10:53] <ventti> ok , thanks Galerian :)
[10:53] <ventti> wll give it a go in the next day or so
[10:53] <jake__> Galerien: sounds good :D
[10:53] <Night_Elf> enriq: if you run  "nm-applet" ?
[10:54] <anodesni> enriq, press Alt+F2 to run the command
[10:54] <Galerien> jake__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[10:54] <CARAM> jake__, make sure you do not remove the windows bootloader
[10:54] <CARAM> MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT REMOVE THE WINDOWS BOOTLOADER
[10:54] <CARAM> that's my only advice
[10:55] <enriq> Night_Elf, anodesni it complais that nm-applet is already running. However I don't see an icon in the notification area
[10:55] <Night_Elf> jake__: yea, after you finish reading stuff about grub/grub2 and booting process in general, then read it again!
[10:55] <anodesni> enriq, it's a bug, try 'killall -9 nm-applet' in terminal and then start it again
[10:56] <Galerien> ventti: I can't use it because I did something wrong with my install (don't know what) so I would say clean install is safer
[10:56] <zeer> Hello, I want to shutdown the pc as a normal user. I put this line into visudo: 'xeer ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown'. Then I restart the computer. But the next time I executed 'shutdown -h now' the answer was 'shutdown: Need to be root'
[10:56] <mc___> Is there a way to get echo cancellation with skype on linux? My audio chipset is intel_hda
[10:56] <kv102t> anyone know how to edit image tags in ubuntu?
[10:57] <jake__> Night_Elf: hahaha honestly i couldn't even read it once. Way too hard for me to understand. CARAM: i have never been this confused in my life :p
[10:57] <enriq> anodesni, still nothing shown. nm-applet prints 2 debug messages "old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0" and won't return to prompt
[10:58] <zeer> Or antoher question: The Gnome menu offers a nromal user the shutdown. Which command does it execute? I want to shutdown the pc without any anoying questions.
[10:58] <anodesni> enriq, then I don't know anymore...
[10:58] <enriq> anodesni, thanks anyway
[10:59] <enriq> how do I start a network defined in NetworkManager (from command line)
[10:59] <anodesni> enriq, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup
[10:59] <jake__> Night_Elf: it says that grub2 automatically adds all the os' to the list. so there isn't anything i need to do i believe
[11:00] <Galerien> jake__: if they say so, then I don't think you do
[11:00] <erUSUL> zeer: sudo shutdown -h now
[11:00] <anneo> wewe
[11:00] <Galerien> jake__: and If something goes wrong, we are here :D
[11:00] <siriusnova> hey guys i want to install an app in ubuntu that lets me check my laptop's temperatures and fan speeds
[11:00] <Night_Elf> jake__: well if you do have problems, normally that means that that "automatic" thing didn't work right. In that case, you better read the docs ^^  or you will never know what is happning to your system,s
[11:00] <Night_Elf> system*
[11:00] <zeer> erUSUL: But he says I need root rightsto do that.
[11:01] <Galerien> !conky | siriusnova
[11:01] <Galerien> arf...
[11:01] <Galerien> siriusnova: just look for conky on google
[11:01] <erUSUL> zeer: you used sudo ?
[11:01] <anodesni> siriusnova, type in 'sensors' at the terminal
[11:01] <gh0st> hello, is there an offtopic ubuntu channel?
[11:01] <jake__> Night_Elf: if i do have problems, i will ask you guys because the documentation seems to technical for me to understand :p
[11:01] <llutz> !ot | gh0st
[11:01] <anodesni> !offtopic | gh0st
[11:01] <Galerien> jake__: ok
[11:02] <uLinux> !ot | gh0st
[11:02] <jake__> thank you for the help Galerien, Night_Elf and CARAM :) see you in a while. going to install now
[11:02] <Galerien> jake__: wait
[11:02] <Galerien> jake__: wait a sec
[11:03] <siriusnova> ok
[11:03] <jake__> sure
[11:03] <Galerien> jake__: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate
[11:03] <twister23> hi guys...
[11:03] <VladisMSX1> Hi
[11:04] <Galerien> that's something the bot can say (don't know how), you might find that helpfull
[11:04] <twister23> im using ubuntu 10.04... but facing issues in configuring and connecting via the PPTP vpn to my client
[11:04] <twister23> I have the exact same setup as in windows
[11:06] <aprilus> why sometimes my mouse does't work? the problem appears from ubuntu 9.10
[11:07] <twister23> please advise if this can be solved... im unable to vpn to the custemer network via ubunut.. but can via windows
[11:07] <Poseidon_99> how to change my default runlevel
[11:07] <slawek> uoclan
[11:07] <jrib> Poseidon_99: why?
[11:07] <Poseidon_99> i want to use text for now on
[11:07] <llutz> Poseidon_99: thanks to upstart,  runlevels aren't  used anymore
[11:08] <jrib> Poseidon_99: stop gdm from starting then... what version of ubuntu?
[11:08] <llutz> Poseidon_99: check the scripts in /etc/init/
[11:08] <Poseidon_99> jrib: 10.04
[11:09] <jrib> Poseidon_99: add "never" as a condition for gdm to start in /etc/init/gdm.conf
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> Poseidon_99:  theres also a 'text' option I think you can add to the kernel boot lines in /etc/default/grub to make tit system boot to text mode and not start gdm
[11:10] <Poseidon_99> Dr_Willis: but how to do that ?
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> edit the /etc/default/grub file
[11:10] <zeer> erUSUL: 'sudo shutdown' worked, Thanks a lot :)
[11:11] <erUSUL> zeer: no problem
[11:11] <Dr_Willis>  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"
[11:11] <Poseidon_99> there is not "grub" in /etc/defaut
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> "/etc/default/grub"
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> If you dont have one.. then you are not using grub2 i guess
[11:12] <enriq> I configure my wlan0 as ad-hoc with a certain essid. After a while (5 seconds) the essid changes to garbage
[11:13] <Poseidon_99> Dr_wills yes i m sure i m using grub2
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> Poseidon_99:  then i suggest looking again.  /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d are the main location for all the config files
[11:14] <Linux_Lover> I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed with Windows XP, when I select windows XP to boot it says "NTLDR not installed. Press Ctl+Alt+Del to restart" boot into. Please help me to fix the problem
[11:14] <TommyH> Is it better to use the 64bit version of Ubuntu if my system supports it?
[11:14] <Poseidon_99> Dr_wills cause just two days before i run a command to make my system work " sudo update-grub2
[11:14] <Poseidon_99> k i m looking it
[11:14] <jrib> TommyH: yeah, probably
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> TommyH:  if you got 4+gb ram.. defaintaly.. if you do lots of cpu intensve tasks.. yes.  -   Theres not many reasons to NOT use 64bit these days
[11:15] <Poseidon_99> there is grub.d
[11:15] <TommyH> cool, thanks for the response!
[11:16] <Linux_Lover> I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed with Windows XP, when I select windows XP to boot it says "NTLDR not installed. Press Ctl+Alt+Del to restart". Please help me to fix the problem
[11:16] <Poseidon_99> Dr_Willis: now i found grub.d what next ?
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> Poseidon_99:  you edit the file /etc/default/grub
[11:17] <Dr_Willis>  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" In  The file /etc/default/grub
[11:17] <jrib> Linux_Lover: did it ever work?
[11:17] <iKb> hi all
[11:17] <Linux_Lover> Jrib: Yes it was working fine few weeks back
[11:18] <iKb> i have a problem installing ubuntu with the altenate cd
[11:18] <iKb> alternate*
[11:18] <jrib> Linux_Lover: that's pretty weird.  Did you do anything grub-related?
[11:18] <aks_> ikb, wats the prob?
[11:18] <iKb> the image start to flicker after i select to install
[11:19] <iKb> i have a SIS
[11:19] <aks_> ikb, did you downloaded it completely?
[11:19] <Linux_Lover> Jrib: I just removed the extra entries made by Ubuntu.
[11:19] <Poseidon_99> Dr_Willis: just one question why i should edit the grub ? i mean i want to login in my ubuntu with no X... or m i missing something ? sorry i m little dumb at this lol
[11:19] <final_hacker> QUERY
[11:19] <rocket16> Hello again, respected members,
[11:19] <bricky> is there any app that scans and categorizes your file system or files ( so you know where you used up alot of space) ?>
[11:19] <iKb> i am tring to find a solution adding some boot parameter
[11:19] <iKb> but seem not working
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> Poseidon_99:  the TEXT option to grub tells the system to boot to text mode. You could disable gdm if you wanted also.
[11:19] <aks_> ikb,what is your system architectire
[11:20] <aks_> ikb,please specify what parameter
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> Text mode also disables some other of the eyecandy from what i saw when i used it.
[11:20] <jrib> Linux_Lover: see if ##windows is familiar with the problem.  I was going to suggest you do fixmbr from the windows disk and then reinstall grub, taking care not to install it to the windows partition.  But that was assuming you hah somehow installed grub to the windows partition
[11:20] <iKb> i have tested
[11:20] <iKb> intelfb.blacklist=1
[11:20] <iKb> blacklist=vga16fb
[11:20] <Poseidon_99> Dr_Willis: oh !! and whats with the other option ? i want to know it too. ( just for knowledge )
[11:20] <aks_> ok
[11:20] <iKb> vga=771
[11:20] <rocket16> iKb: To know the System Architechture, use this command in terminal: uname -a
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> Poseidon_99:  disable the grub service in /etc/init
[11:21] <aks_> i rocket
[11:21] <bricky> Linux_Lover what are you doing?
[11:21] <aks_> hi rocket
[11:21] <aks_> whos is this rocket
[11:21] <aks_> ?
[11:21] <rocket16> Hello aks_,
[11:21] <LjL> bricky: it used to be called 'baobab' but i think that's no longer the name in Lucid... but it should be installed by default, it makes a fancy graph like thing of your disk.
[11:21] <aks_> do you know me?
[11:21] <LjL> !enter
[11:22] <iKb> i have the same problem using the livecd, the monitor start to flick than at the end i have a normal grafical installer
[11:22] <Linux_Lover> bricky: I have ubuntu 10.04 and windows XP installed. when I try to boot into Win XP it says " NTLDR not found" Press Ctl+Alt+Del to restart
[11:22] <bricky> LjL yes I seen that, unfortunately its not as specific as i hoped, =[
[11:23] <iKb> i think is is a known problem with the sis driver
[11:23] <iKb> but i can't find a solution for the alternate cd install
[11:23] <bricky> Linux_Lover, hmm do you get into any menus, at all, or are you helpless
[11:24] <iKb> a Plymouth problem
[11:24] <bricky> Ive been there before, do you have another partition you could install windows on ?
[11:24] <Linux_Lover> bricky: I can only booth into Ubuntu 10.04. I can not boot into Windows.
[11:24] <bricky> hmm
[11:25] <Poseidon_99> Dr_Willis: what should i do in gdm.conf ? i mean any script i have to add or anything like that ?
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> Poseidon_99:  rename it to gdm.DONTRUN
[11:25] <LjL> bricky: what do you mean specific?
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> Poseidon_99:  but upstart and some other things may still run. so its not quite the same as the TEXT option to grub
[11:25] <Poseidon_99> Dr_wills oh thanks ! i got it
[11:26] <bricky> Linux_Lover dont know how helpfull this is someone else may be able to tell you : http://calamari.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/fixing-a-broken-wubi-grub-after-ubuntu-updates/
[11:26] <Poseidon_99> Dr_Willis: i m going with text option in grub ! and thanxs
[11:26] <Linux_Lover> Thank you very much bricky
[11:26] <Smurfie> How do you retrieve the admin pass without going through recovery mode?
[11:26] <enriq> Why in one machine NetworkManager has Auto eth0 and in the othere not? I never defined anything...
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> Smurfie:  boot a live cd, chroot in, set a new password - is one way
[11:27] <bricky> LjL: I would like to have a list of at of what type of files, AVI, ISO, how big they are and where
[11:28] <bricky> if possible,
[11:28] <Smurfie> Ok. Hm.. is there a way to do it through terminal?
[11:28] <alex88> i'm on ubuntu 10.04, when i open the ubuntu one preferences it says "Syncronizing" but it remains there.. and no files are added to the ubuntu one folder..i've 5mb shared so i think it doesn't take so much time
[11:28] <iKb> is the order of the boot options importatant
[11:29] <iKb> i mean if i set an option at the beginning of the line or at the end is the same?
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> Smurfie:  you mean you have a working system. that you somehow lost the admin password? and want to change/restore it - without any special booting of live cd, ore recovery mode?
[11:29] <Jaspe1> Can anyone help me with an emergency
[11:29] <x1m> русские естЬ?
[11:29] <LjL> !ru | x1m
[11:29] <bricky> Linux_Lover: its worth a read I think, I wanted to reformat my windows partition and use it for linux, but cant since im on WUBI
[11:29] <Jaspe1> we tried to install ubuntu on an exteran drive, and now he cant load vista :(:(
[11:30] <Smurfie> Pretty much, Dr_Willis. Its been a while since I've used my laptop.. and I accidentally forgot what it is.
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> Smurfie:  revovery mode or live cd.. thats your options
[11:30] <bricky> Jaspel:
[11:30] <blackthor> hello. i have a software raid (in mirror), which has a faulty drive. the system hung. i have identified the bad drive, when booting from the good one it appears i lost 2 days of data. is software raid that unreliable ?
[11:30] <Jaspe1> i understand, i have the live cd in his computer
[11:30] <Smurfie> Ahk. I best be writing down the steps as to not forget how to do it then.
[11:30] <bricky> Go into Bios, and check if your hard drive boot order is set up to boot windows
[11:31] <Jaspe1> It is, but its giving a grub error
[11:31] <Jaspe1> meaning it wont read the ntfs format past 4 gigs
[11:31] <Smurfie> Thank you Dr_Willis  :]
[11:32] <alex88> i'm on ubuntu 10.04, when i open the ubuntu one preferences it says "Syncronizing" but it remains there.. and no files are added to the ubuntu one folder..i've 5mb shared so i think it doesn't take so much time
[11:32]  * Dr_Willis wonders how people forget their passwords like that. :)
[11:32] <bricky> Jaspel: u did what to have that and did it crash installing grub
[11:32] <Galerien> Dr_Willis: yep well... yep
[11:32] <bricky> have that happen*
[11:33] <Jaspe1> so nobody knows :(
[11:33] <bricky> Jaspel can you get into your linux?
[11:33] <bricky> Jaspel put in your live CD
[11:33] <Jaspe1> that's the next problem, we installed it on an external hard drive, and it wont boot off the EHD from any computer.
[11:34] <Jaspe1> The live CD is in
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> Jaspe1:  when you installed to the external usb hd. on the LAST dialog theres an 'advanced/extra' button where you tell it where to install grub to. You did tell it to install the bootloader to the usb hard drie and not the internal hard drive?
[11:34] <bricky> Jaspel: go in to your terminal.
[11:34] <Jaspe1> No i didnt
[11:34] <Jaspe1> :(
[11:34] <Jaspe1> what do i do in the terminal
[11:34] <Jaspe1> its up
[11:34] <FloodBot2> Jaspe1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:35] <Jaspe1> bricky** the terminal is up
[11:36] <bricky> Jaspel: whos computer are you on now
[11:36] <Jaspe1> Im on my laptop on a 7.10 live disk, haha. He's on a 10.04 live disk
[11:36] <bricky> I dont know if this is the exact cause of your issue, but I had the same problem a while back
[11:36] <Jaspe1> ok
[11:36] <bricky> maybe someone could correct me if im wrong here
[11:37] <bricky> http://calamari.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/fixing-a-broken-wubi-grub-after-ubuntu-updates/

[11:39] <Ose> can anyone tell me why my old XP laptop is refusing to boot (10.04 netbook) from both USB and CD?
[11:39] <Jaspe1> the first command say's your verson of the kernal and the windows one.

[11:41] <bricky> jaspel so is the live CD what your on now it should say when you start up
[11:41] <rocket16> hamzaatova2: Pick a live cd, and try a live test drive
[11:41] <Jaspe1> Yes, its fired up on the Live CD, the computer is reading the hard drive and the external drive
[11:41] <rocket16> hamzaatova2: If the live mode works, it is supported. I believe, because of open source driver-modules, it is supported
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> hamzaatova2:  most netbooks are well supported by ubuntu.
[11:42] <bricky> jaspel, im not tryin to sabatage your desktop for one I dont even know how to

[11:43] <wise_crypt> Ose: check your bios setting
[11:43] <bricky> jaspel your problem is different than theirs Im gonna point that out
[11:44] <bricky> so the first two lines are the most inportant
[11:44] <Ose> wise_crypt: i've put CD first on the boot list. is there anything else I can do?
[11:44] <xro> Dr_Willis, yes
[11:44] <bricky> but there could be other stuff you need to place in there, im guessing if it doesnt work it wont boot

[11:55] <Rurd2di> rocket16, u knw answer to above question of mine mate?
[11:55] <Rurd2di> umm, im guna have a heap of drives in my ubuntu, all ntfs, just wonderin if after reboots mount points will stay the same
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> Rurd2di:   they 'should' mount back to the same /media/XXXXX location
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> Rurd2di:  but they can change.
[11:55] <blackthor> are the mount points put in some kind of  mount config ?
[11:55] <blackthor> e.g.  autofs  ?
[11:55] <rocket16> Rurd2di Hello, they will remain the same as Dr_Willis said.
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> Rurd2di:  If you want a set mountpoint fr them you can edit the /etc/fstab to set that up
[11:55] <slow-motion> hi
[11:56] <rocket16> Hello slow-motion

[11:56] <alex88> hi, i'm on ubuntu and i've installed fastcgi trough package libapache2-mod-fcgid, how can set the number of php processes running? i've followed this tut http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038416
[11:56] <Rurd2di> and obviously ntfs is supported
[11:57] <wise_crypt> !server | alex88
[11:57] <aprilus> does anybody know how to know my notebook's fn key in ubuntu 10.04? does it depends on the manufactor?
[11:57] <slow-motion> hi rocket16
[11:57] <Rurd2di> and obviously ntfs is supported
[11:57] <alex88> wise_crypt: you're right..sorry :)
[11:57] <rocket16> Rurd2di: Yes, it is.
[11:58] <Rurd2di> wicked, read and write?
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> aprilus:  My netobooks fn keys always have icons on them that show what their function is.. what are you asking exactly?
[11:58] <Rurd2di> rocket16: read & write?
[11:58] <rocket16> Rurd2di: Yes,
[11:58] <xro> blackthor, how can read a bsp file? did you read one?
[11:59] <rocket16> Rurd2di: You can install ntfs-3g for read-write on ntfs
[11:59] <aprilus> Dr_Willis: i want to know the detail function of fn key on my notebook..bear for my poor english..
[11:59] <MasterZuFu> is there a method to test the email server without having to actually send an email?
[11:59] <blackthor> xro: sorry i don't have a clue what bsp files are
[12:00] <xro> blackthor, it is a picture file descriptor used by games for exemple
[12:01] <bricky> brb
[12:01] <blackthor> xro: you should refer to the  SDK used to create the bsp files then... no?
[12:01] <aprilus> is notebook's fn keys in ubuntu 10.04 common? or it can be difference in different notebook?
[12:01] <wise_crypt> MasterZufu: may be #ubuntu-server can give you more hint about that
[12:02] <MasterZuFu> ah, thanks
[12:02] <wise_crypt> MasterZufu: no problem
[12:03] <erUSUL> aprilus: they depend on the laptop afaik ( bios/acpi )
[12:03] <blackthor> nobody ever had some problems with raid 1 ?
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> aprilus:   check the laptops manuals to see what the keys do/icons show.
[12:07] <theadmin> "configure: error: You must have the relevant OpenGL development libraries & headers installed to compile with OpenGL support" - how to resolve this?
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> Install the     'relevant OpenGL development libraries & headers'
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  what are you trying to compile?
[12:08] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: prboom
[12:08] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: http://prboom.sourceforge.net/linux.html#debian following this but... no luck -_-
[12:08] <Craig_Dem> The fix is in the error.
[12:09] <aprilus> erUSUL: thanks
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  if its avail in the repos you can install teh dev packages it needs with ' sudo apt-get build-dep prboom
[12:09] <aprilus> erUSUL: thanks
[12:09] <erUSUL> aprilus: no problem
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  that makes  compiling new versions from source a LOT easier If its allready in the repos :)
[12:09] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: Hey now that's a great idea ^_^ thanks, totally forget about the build-dep thing :/
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  yep :) its handy
[12:10] <Jaspe1> Does anybody use linux on a dual boot with vista?
[12:10] <gl0wurm3wE> why?
[12:10] <theadmin> Jaspe1: I use it with XP but still Windows. What's the problem?
[12:11] <marienz> Jaspe1: I did once, but not currently. It seemed to work the same way it did with previous windowses (just chainload windows from grub)
[12:11] <wise_crypt> !netsplit
[12:11] <Jaspe1> Ok, thank god i really need you're help haha.
[12:11] <Jaspe1> We got my new external hard drive and installed Ubuntu 10.04 on it
[12:12] <Jaspe1> from the BIOS chose that as the master boot, and installed ubuntu on that, then when it finished tried to change back to the basic hard drive and it gave us a grub> t
[12:12] <Sp4> join #ubuntu-beginners
[12:12] <bricky> anybody got Docky? just found it such a good app :D
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> Jaspe1:  you did tell grub to install to the exteranl usb as the last item/button in the install dialogs?
[12:13] <Jaspe1> no
[12:13] <Jaspe1> should i try to reinstall it and do that?
[12:15] <Jaspe1> Dr_Willis -- Does that sound like a bad idea or is there another way
[12:15] <gl0wurm3wE> should have unplugged your hd in your computer first just to be safe
[12:16] <Jaspe1> It's not my computer or i would have lol
[12:16] <Jaspe1> When we are in the Live CD i can see all his window's files, everything is still there, i just need it to choose to boot windows>Linux
[12:16] <_Anthony> poop
[12:18] <Jaspe1> Seems like this is an epic fail :(
[12:18] <cousin_mario> hello
[12:18] <cousin_mario> know of a repo where to find mplayerplug-in ?
[12:18] <gl0wurm3wE> the master boot record was probly written over
[12:19] <Jaspe1> and how do we fix that :x
[12:19] <gl0wurm3wE> put your windows vista disk in and install a windows boot record
[12:20] <switchgirl> anyone know how / where i can get a Windows Media Audio 8 decoder for radio (down) streaming from? i tried restricted extras and ALL available plugins for gstreamer aswell as medibuntu
[12:20] <wise_crypt> !multimedia
[12:20] <Jaspe1> We dont have a windows vista disk, never came with one
[12:20] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: what about a recovery partition then?
[12:21] <Jaspe1> elaborate?
[12:21] <switchgirl> wise_crypt,  i have done all those its for radio one via http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r1.asx
[12:21] <gl0wurm3wE> tap f5 repeatedly on boot, backup your data
[12:21] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: windows machines shipped without installation disk usually have a disk image stored in a tiny fat partition
[12:21] <cousin_mario> but that's #windows material
[12:21] <duffydack> What is it with Empathy and the lack of sounds...
[12:21] <Jaspe1> Its both right now, windows and ubuntu, because neither will load
[12:22] <Jaspe1> cousin_mario ...please go on to how i access/fix this haha.
[12:22] <n8w> how do i set s2disk as a defualt hibernation mode ?
[12:22] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: what happened again?
[12:22] <mateusz> ello
[12:22] <n8w> i remember that when i had 9.10 i had to change one parameter in one of the cfg files
[12:22] <wise_crypt> switchgirl,: http://james.cridland.net/blog/listening-to-bbc-radio-using-ubuntu/
[12:22] <Jaspe1> ok long story short
[12:22] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: mbr or the whole partition table deleted?
[12:23] <Jaspe1> new external hard drive, booted linux onto that. installed it. Restarted. Now vista wont load, it gives a grub> error
[12:23] <Jaspe1> neither will load for that matter
[12:23] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: nice
[12:24] <magik> Hey guys, how can i install conky on my xubuntu?
[12:24] <switchgirl> wise_crypt,  i want to have it in rhythmbox or am i being awkward to ask for a media player that works
[12:24] <Jaspe1> Any idea Cousin_mario?
[12:24] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: that's the problem with multistage bootloaders and removable disks
[12:24] <Jaspe1> So is there a way to get it to boot vista?
[12:24] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: you can try installing gag (http://gag.sourceforge.net)
[12:25] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: it'll put up a horrible 1995-style menu but it will boot vista
[12:25] <wise_crypt> switchgirl: have you tried the solution on the link earlier ?
[12:25] <switchgirl> i dont like real player
[12:25] <Jaspe1> there has to be a way to boot one of them.
[12:25] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: see above
[12:25] <cousin_mario> install that bootloader and you should be fine
[12:26] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: after that I recommend you move grub fully to the linux partition
[12:26] <Jaspe1> Ill be takign that hard drive, so he'll have to deal with this forever just because i wanted ubuntu?
[12:26] <KayAteChef> I am trying to set up a printer but cups is not working. Troubleshoot wizard says CUPS print spooler isn't running and that I should go to System > Administration > Services and then look for cups. However there is no Services menu in Administration
[12:26] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: no, it's just because you don't have a vista installation disk
[12:26] <switchgirl> wise_crypt,  i hate real player
[12:27] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: I'm telling you how to have the windows OS start, then he'll have time to think about how to fix it for good
[12:27] <gl0wurm3wE> blame microsoft not ubuntu
[12:27] <Jaspe1> haha, ok ill try this
[12:27] <wise_crypt> switchgirl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=388528
[12:28] <Jaspe1> now can i just download it on the live disk and save it somewhere, or do i have to find a way to put it on a CD
[12:28] <Jaspe1> and if so, do i put it on his HDD?
[12:28] <dzan> hi, can someone here tell me if it's possible and if it is how to launch ubuntu with the same options the live cd safemode uses but from Grub2 ?
[12:28] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: you have to create a disk with that iso and then boot from it
[12:29] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: but if it uses AHCI don't bother
[12:29] <Jaspe1> ahci?
[12:29] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: how old is the computer'
[12:29] <cousin_mario> ?
[12:29] <Jaspe1> less than a year
[12:29] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: then you're screwed, I fear
[12:29] <Jaspe1> Its got a quad core and the full nine yards
[12:29] <Jaspe1> Why's that?
[12:30] <iKb> hi all again
[12:30] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: gag doesn't support AHCI and all new devices have it
[12:30] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: you can always try it anyway
[12:30] <visof> hello, i have problem with my laptop mic , i can hear what someone say and that one can't hear me ?
[12:30] <Jaspe1> hrm
[12:30] <visof> what should i do ?
[12:30] <iKb> i still can't install ubuntu 10.04 using alternate cd on my notebook wuth sis video card, the screen start to fick after i select "Install Ubuntu"
[12:31] <iKb> i know it is a SIS problem but how can i fix it?
[12:31] <gl0wurm3wE> cousin_mario: you'll probly find that package in the supplied ubuntu repos like restricted, or adding a third party repo isen't hard
[12:31] <Jaspe1> So you're all saying i cant get vista back, without the vista disk?
[12:32] <gl0wurm3wE> you can't legally own a copy of windows without the install disks
[12:32] <Jaspe1> yes, you can, if it doesnt come with them.
[12:32] <Jaspe1> lol
[12:32] <gl0wurm3wE> yes all OEM copies of windows come with disks
[12:33] <cousin_mario> gl0wurm3wE: I couldn't find it in any, mplayer is instaleld though
[12:33] <|ns|nR8> you can download vista oem
[12:33] <|ns|nR8> gl0wurm3wE, most people dont get the install disc
[12:33] <cousin_mario> gl0wurm3wE: many producers don't supply the disk anymore, they just put a recovery partition
[12:33] <Jaspe1> Ok, he bought this Computer shorty ago and it did not come with any disk.
[12:33] <Jaspe1> Its in a recovery partition
[12:33] <badcloud> has anyone implimented youtube-dl into a script that would work for firefox (for example)? a script like http://myvs.sourceforge.net/, but would first copy the youtube url into terminal, run the youtube-dl script and play with mplayer
[12:34] <badcloud> it would save a lot of cpu when watching youtube
[12:34] <Twain_32> hello everyone! :) where i can download Free Driver Scanner for Ubuntu ? :)
[12:35] <cousin_mario> Jaspe1: a cursory google search suggests you follow this http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+from+the+DVD or the supergrub disk
[12:35] <gl0wurm3wE> |ns|nR8 know what to do then go to microsofts site with your CD key or whatever vendor you bout the comp from and burn the ISO to the DISK
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> Twain_32:  ive never really seen such a thing for ubuntu. Not much of a need for one
[12:35] <cousin_mario> gl0wurm3wE: what iso?
[12:35] <gl0wurm3wE> from the site
[12:35] <Twain_32> Dr_Willis so how can i see my installed drivers list?
[12:35] <cousin_mario> gl0wurm3wE: care to supply the link for such a service?
[12:36] <koshari> Twain_32 lsmod
[12:36] <|ns|nR8> gl0wurm3wE, you need to be msdn member to download iso's that costs couple grand a year

[12:42] <aggelos> hi everybody... i have a problem with the new ubuntu 10.04
[12:42] <aggelos> anybody can help me ?
[12:42] <gl0wurm3wE> visof is your microphone unmuted, turned on, turned up and plugged in?
[12:42] <koshari> you need to state what video hardware you have first
[12:43] <Twain_32> koshari 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8500 GT] (rev a1)
[12:43] <gl0wurm3wE> aggelos: !question
[12:43] <wise_crypt> visof, : or http://linux.dipin.info/2009/11/mic-not-working-with-skype-on-ubuntu.html
[12:43] <Twain_32> koshari i saw that in list
[12:43] <visof> gl0wurm3wE how can i know that ?
[12:43] <koshari> Twain_32 ok use the restricted drivers manager to install the nvidia restricted drivers.
[12:43] <aggelos> well i installed ubuntu with wubi on windows 7.. all went well but when i chose to enter grub from the boot menu i can not see ubuntu only windows
[12:43] <Twain_32> koshari where i can find restricted drivers manager
[12:44] <gl0wurm3wE> visof: in the volume manager pref?
[12:44] <arieru> Hello guys, I need to connect to a bonjour shared printer in mac... Can I do that from ubuntu? or I have to share the printer with samba on mac ?
[12:44] <Ose> is it possible to boot from a USB on an older computer? the only options I get are floppy, CD and hard drive
[12:45] <gl0wurm3wE> aggelos: if your boot record is virus protected i doubt wubi would change anything
[12:45] <koshari> Twain_32 system > admin > hardware drivers
[12:45] <SwedeMike> Ose: it depends.
[12:45] <aeon-ltd> arieru: no you can do that fine with avahi
[12:45] <coony> hello
[12:45] <aeon-ltd> Ose: you can create a floppy disk that can subsequently boot from usb
[12:46] <arieru> aeon-ltd: thanks a lot.
[12:46] <Ose> aeon-ltd: there is no floppy port :P
[12:46] <|ns|nR8> replace floppy with cd
[12:46] <aeon-ltd> Ose: no, if you have a floppy disk, you can load usb from a floppu live enivron.
[12:46] <wise_crypt> !netboot | ose

[12:57] <fierman> aka
[12:58] <fierman> where are my xorg settings stored now ?
[12:58] <aeon-ltd> coony: the settings manager won't change anything, removing the compiz compositing component it self will

[12:58] <aeon-ltd> firemonkey_: soz wrong person

[12:59] <fierman> aeon-ltd: and what if i somehow want to manually edit my outputs ?
[12:59] <aeon-ltd> fierman: plug and play is now good enough to work without a xorg.conf to be read at boot, however you can use one
[12:59] <aeon-ltd> fierman: you can generate one to be read
[12:59] <fierman> ok, thanks

[13:17] <Boxici>  !backtrack

[13:18] <db_loco> anodesni, my mate formatted for me. and it worked fine in his pc.  and yes it is usb
[13:18] <Ose> I can't seem to get my XP machine to boot from a live CD. the CD works on another computer, and the CD drive works on the target computer. on the BIOS boot screen I get the options hard drive, CD and floppy (even though the coputer doesn't have a floppy drive), but even when I select CD it boots XP
[13:18] <jairlonlucia> pode me dar uma ajuda cara
[13:18] <Ose> anything else I can try?
[13:18] <dren> hi
[13:18] <db_loco> blue_anna.  I can't open it so can't add or delete files..  is it possible to open using terminal?
[13:19] <anodesni> db_loco, just open a terminal, go to 'cd /media'
[13:19] <Boxici> is there someone here that can help me configure my wlan0?
[13:19] <jairlonlucia> hein
[13:19] <anodesni> db_loco, there it should be listed
[13:19] <blue_anna> db_loco: where are you seeing a list of the files on taht drive?
[13:19] <David-T> Ose: how are you creating the live cd?

[13:20] <David-T> Ose: just a normal ISO? if you're not doing it properly it won't create a bootable ISO
[13:20] <Ose> (as I said, I tested it on another computer and was able to use the OS testing functionality)
[13:20] <dren> does anyone know how to change the fact that ubuntu(10.4 2.6.32-22) now shows the password length while booting and decrypting disks
[13:20] <Galerien> blue_anna: yes, Brazil = Portuguese, not Spanish ^^
[13:20] <db_loco> blue_anna. in the open option in movie player. btw, i haven't loaded any programs yet (still brand pc) do i need to load wine or play on linux?
[13:20] <David-T> Ose: ah, missed that sorry.
[13:20] <blue_anna> I speak spanish, english, and portuguese
[13:20] <anodesni> db_loco, you should type in 'cd /media' then 'ls' you see directories, there should be a folder which corresponds to the hard drive, then try 'cd nameofdrive' and again 'ls' to see if you can read the files
[13:21] <Ose> it's a rather old machine, but I was hoping to be able to use it with the netbook remix
[13:21] <cinnabarisland12> hey can anyone tell me how I get ubuntu to play encrypted DVD's?
[13:21] <Galerien> blue_anna: french,  english and spanish
[13:21] <blue_anna> db_loco: mplayer can see tyhe files but nautilus can't? that's not a good sign
[13:22] <db_loco> anodesni, it only shows my other external hard drive, which is working fine
[13:22] <anodesni> db_loco, then the problem is that it doesn't get mounted
[13:22] <db_loco> blue_anna, nautilus???
[13:22] <term_oldcomp1> what's the best way to automatically share a folder?  it's /media/320g-1/BigDaddy I want to share without interaction

[13:26] <db_loco> blue_anna. When I type lsusb, i can see it listed

[13:28] <mcl0vin> but anyways , i am trying (instead of copy&paste) to append the content of a webpage to a file lirc.conf , how to do this from cli
[13:28] <Galerien> ders21: Si tu veux pauser une question en français, tu peu faire un /query Galerien
[13:28] <OpenSys> the kernel scheduling bug of "app blocked for more than 120 seconds"  was fixed in 2.6.32-22 ?

[13:30] <chiiiiiz> since I upgraded to Lucid (no fresh install, only upgrade), I do not see any icon on the desktop, (my desktop folder is not empty)
[13:30] <blue_anna> Galerien: there's such a wide divide between proper written french and common written french :)
[13:30] <db_loco> blue_anna, done. its listed
[13:30] <jrib> mcl0vin: I did, it makes no sense.
[13:30] <jrib> mcl0vin: "echo and webpage"?
[13:30] <blue_anna> db_loco: you see your usb drive in that file?
[13:30] <chiiiiiz> I usually paste the temporary documents on my desktop, but this is not possible any longer since the upgrade...
[13:30] <chiiiiiz> any clue??
[13:30] <mcl0vin> jrib: did you visit the link
[13:30] <jrib> mcl0vin: I came in after that...
[13:30] <db_loco> yup, its name is followed by vfat
[13:30] <Galerien> blue_anna: yeah, French is a bitch of a language, but still, I couldn't understand what you tried to say :s
[13:31] <mcl0vin> jrib: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput
[13:31] <db_loco> blue_anna, yes. the line says /dev/sdbl /media/'name' vfat

[13:32] <mcl0vin> jrib: how single than this it can be
[13:32] <jrib> mcl0vin: wget -O - >> file
[13:32] <jrib> mcl0vin: wget -O - URL >> file
[13:32] <blue_anna> db_loco: it says name like that? or is that your own anonimous substitution?
[13:32] <llutz> mcl0vin: use wget or curl

[13:33] <jrib> mcl0vin: the last way you stated it was fine
[13:34] <mcl0vin> jrib: NEXT time go scroll up and read and think twice before you try to look "cool" and sh*t
[13:34] <blue_anna> db_loco: close the gedit and in the terminal type cd /media/name

[13:36] <blue_anna> db_loco: ls -la ~/.gvfs please?
[13:36] <Galerien> wise_crypt: dame, you are fast ;)
[13:37] <blue_anna> db_loco: looks like it
[13:38] <exorzizt> hi *
[13:38] <fierman> frxstrem: arecord
[13:38] <jrib> the_holstar: you try not to.  What are you trying to install?
[13:38] <db_loco> blue_anna, i teied running the ls script, but I think i missed typed and it opened a new line, so i closed it. do i need to run it in the drive or just under a new terminal?
[13:39] <mcl0vin> llutz: i am getting this error "bash: /etc/lirc/lircd.conf: Permission denied" when i do "sudo wget -O http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput > /etc/lirc/lircd.conf "
[13:39] <blue_anna> db_loco: no .. wait, copy and paste this into your terminal exactly .. there is no ls script :) -- ls -la ~/.gvfs
[13:39] <llutz> mcl0vin: needs sudo
[13:39] <blue_anna> db_loco: just tell me that it is there and owned by you
[13:39] <db_loco> blue_anna, ok so i ran it under a new terminal and I got: total 4
[13:39] <mcl0vin> llutz: look at my command i did used sudo
[13:40] <jrib> mcl0vin: you know that command overwrites your lircd.conf?  Is that what you want?  Earlier you asked to *append*
[13:40] <blue_anna> there's a line that ends in a period
[13:40] <exorzizt> got a problem. when i stop compiz / desktop effects (because of the video stuttering) the movement of windows begins to stutter
[13:40] <llutz> mcl0vin: you cannot redirect (>) using sudo, use tee
[13:40] <mcl0vin> jrib: yes, thats want i want to do
[13:40] <frxstrem> fierman: isn't that a program? I am looking for the device file, not a program
[13:40] <blue_anna> db_loco: do you see a line like this? dr-x------  2 roberto roberto    0 2010-05-30 19:06 .
[13:40] <mcl0vin> llutz: not familiar with tee
[13:40] <db_loco> blue_anna, i can only see dr-x and drwxr-xr-x
[13:40] <fierman> frxstrem: you wanted to record from device, right ?
[13:40] <mcl0vin> !tee
[13:40] <llutz> mcl0vin: "man tee"
[13:40] <db_loco> blue_anna, yes, and it says my name
[13:41] <jrib> mcl0vin: if you want to overwrite, just use sudo wget -O FILE URL
[13:41] <frxstrem> fierman: no...I want to have the device file for experimenting with stuff
[13:41] <the_holstar1> how to install rpm?
[13:41] <blue_anna> db_loco: ok ... not sure why yuor system is not aouto recognizing the usb drive, I'm sorry. at least you have that bandaid though -- can always go to the drive from the terminal and manually cause the drive to show up
[13:41] <mcl0vin> jrib: thanks
[13:41] <Galerien> !alien | the_holstar1
[13:41] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[13:41] <blue_anna> db_loco: it's just gnome that is having issue
[13:42] <exorzizt> HELP! Got a problem. when i stop compiz / desktop effects (because of the video stuttering) the movement of windows begins to stutter. ive got a ati hd 38xx
[13:42] <jrib> mcl0vin: or maybe wget does the backup thing, so that may not work.  In that case, either look for a flag for wget to overwrite or use tee
[13:42] <mcl0vin> BluesKaj: morning
[13:42] <the_holstar1> oh
[13:42] <the_holstar1> okay
[13:42] <the_holstar1> how do i restart services?
[13:42] <the_holstar1> like service network restart
[13:42] <Galerien> service <name> restart
[13:42] <frxstrem> fierman: nevermind, I found it...
[13:42] <db_loco> blue_anna, i c. so the only thing i need to do is go to terminal and type cd /media/"name", correct?
[13:42] <Galerien> the_holstar1: or something close to that
[13:42] <the_holstar1> it's not working
[13:42] <the_holstar1> :S
[13:43] <fierman> frxstrem: what ?
[13:43] <blue_anna> db_loco: I think it was the gedit /media/name/testfile that did it
[13:43] <the_holstar1> How do i install gcc compiler?
[13:43] <jrib> the_holstar1: why?
[13:43] <HideMe> anyone know how to change the 'close, minimize, maximize" from the default left to a right on a window?
[13:43] <jrib> !controls | HideMe
[13:43] <iceroot> !controls | HideMe
[13:43] <the_holstar1> my os is ubuntu.9.04
[13:43] <the_holstar1> i want to upgrade it
[13:43] <JPSman> so im having problems installing/using vloopback.  Im using 10.04.  The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source.  Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what?
[13:44] <the_holstar1> how do i do that?
[13:44] <fierman>  /etc/init.d/networking restart
[13:44] <jrib> !upgrade > the_holstar1
[13:44] <iceroot> the_holstar1: sudo apt-get install gcc
[13:44] <fierman> or any other service
[13:44] <the_holstar1> sudo apt-get install gcc
[13:44] <xteejx> Using Lucid, how do I cd to an iso mounted with the Archive Mounter option?
[13:44] <nmvictor> How do I remove extra virtual consoles in ubuntu, in some distributions, they are placed in /etc/event.d/ so to remove them, one would simply do: sudo mv /etc/event.d/tty1 /etc/event.d/tty.bak  , anyone know how to do this in ubuntu?
[13:45] <llutz> nmvictor: aren't they in /etc/init now?
[13:45] <db_loco> blue_anna, i c. I will record this and restart the pc to see if it wil work again or if its working normally now.  Thanks very much for your help. really appreciate it!
[13:45] <jrib> nmvictor: /etc/init
[13:45] <nmvictor> fierman: although in karmic+, one can simply do `restart networking`
[13:46] <comag> df -h shows 224GB / 231GB = 100% usage. whats wrong there?
[13:46] <jrib> comag: some space is reserved for root
[13:46] <loic> hello. I'm trying to get an old computer to boot in 1024x768 instead of 1600x1200 (unsupported by the monitor despite what xorg logs say). what am I doing wrong in my xorg.conf ? http://pastebin.com/VqTt244p
[13:46] <fierman> tune2fs
[13:46] <comag> k
[13:46] <xteejx> How can I execute the autorun in wine if it's on CD and I keep getting the "executable bit" error? I can't chmod it
[13:46] <jrib> comag: you can change the amount with tune2fs, it's definitely too much
[13:46] <nmvictor> llutz: jrib : I just see tty.conf, are they the ones? seem to me like config files
[13:47] <jrib> nmvictor: there should be tty[1-6].conf
[13:47] <comag> jrib: thanks jrib
[13:47] <godhax> hello, I have two hard disks(NOT two partitions). I have ubuntu at the first one, windows xp at the second one. it only boots windows. is there any way I can install grub so I can boot both ubuntu and win?
[13:48] <nmvictor> jrib: yea, their are. My question was arent those config files to the consoles or the real consoles? just a query
[13:48] <Galerien> godhax: yes, you just have to tell grub you have windows on the second hard drive
[13:49] <jrib> nmvictor: well those are files for upstart jobs, they should be the same as just the tty1 files you referred to earlier
[13:49] <godhax> @Galerien, I think grub's not installed
[13:49] <nmvictor> jrib: thanks
[13:49] <wise_crypt> xteejx : copy the cdrom to your HD
[13:49] <jrib> nmvictor: files without the .conf extension are ignored, so you can just rename the files if you want
[13:49] <Kalle__> Everyone keeps dissing Webmin - "buggy, crappy, poopy" (I've heard it all) - but where are the good alternatives?? That doesn't cost anything, to boot
[13:49] <godhax> I'm now running from live cd
[13:50] <xteejx> wise_crypt: Will try that, thought there may be another option
[13:50] <blue_anna> how do I build libtool against two different versions of gcc ?
[13:50] <blue_anna> at the same time
[13:50] <the_holstar1> I want to install all libraries of open ssl
[13:50] <jrib> !webmin | Kalle__
[13:50] <wise_crypt> !ebot | kalle
[13:50] <the_holstar1> how do i do that?
[13:50] <the_holstar1> :S
[13:50] <wise_crypt> !ebox | kalle_
[13:50] <blue_anna> the_holstar1: man apt-get
[13:50] <Ose> what happens if I switch the primary and secondary master in BIOS?
[13:50] <Kalle__> wise_crypt: thanks, I'll check that out
[13:51] <aerokid240> webmin still works fine
[13:51] <wise_crypt> Ose: the first will boot the OS
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> 'might work'
[13:51] <godhax> can I install grub while I'm on live cd?
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> godhax:   You can chroot into an installed system and reinstall grub yes.
[13:52] <blue_anna> the_holstar1: basically always search for the file with a command like "apt-cache search openssl" and then install with "sudo apt-get install " the result from the cache that you want
[13:52] <Climbing_Freak> I have two boot loaders and need to get rid of one,this what it looks like
[13:52] <Climbing_Freak> Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
[13:52] <Climbing_Freak> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
[13:52] <Climbing_Freak> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[13:52] <Climbing_Freak> Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
[13:52] <Climbing_Freak> I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

[13:52] <Climbing_Freak> Disk identifier: 0x92e4538c
[13:52] <aerokid240> dr_willis: the answer is yes
[13:52] <the_holstar1> also
[13:53] <the_holstar1> Where is the grub.conf file located?
[13:53] <wise_crypt> godhax: use supergrub http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[13:53] <nmvictor> I think  I like what Lucid did to networking, one hardly needs to fiddle with proxy settings, I am usually on university proxy network, right now I just plugged in my GSM modem so I could chat with you guys since most IRC clients dont support proxy, and unlike in karmic--, i dont have to tell Lucid to ignore proxy, it automatically does that.Good job ubuntu network developers
[13:53] <blue_anna> the_holstar1: and for "what-provides?" like functionailty you can get apt-file and then "apt-file search /path/foobar"
[13:53] <godhax> thanks guys I'll check it out
[13:54] <the_holstar1> blue_anna: hmm
[13:54] <nmvictor> is their a way to add color to bootup messages like i see in some distributions like SystemRescueCD?
[13:54] <wise_crypt> the_holstar1: here http://ubuntuguide.net/manually-addingremoving-entries-to-grub-2-menu
[13:54] <Don9307> the_holstar1:  from terminal, type:  whereis grub.conf
[13:54] <JPSman> so im having problems installing/using vloopback.  Im using 10.04.  The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source.  Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what?
[13:55] <loic> hey guys im sure my problem is pretty simple but I've been on it for a while please help me ! my xorg.conf : http://pastebin.com/VqTt244p . Why does it boot in 1200x1600 instead of 1024x768 ?
[13:55] <blue_anna> loic: 1200x1600? :D auch
[13:55] <wise_crypt> !xorg > loic
[13:55] <happyaron> where is FloodBot's source code?
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> !bots
[13:56] <nmvictor> is their a way to play around with kernel parameters/modules so I could have a colorfull boot messages like i see in some distributions like SystemRescueCD?
[13:56] <Night_Elf> !xorg
[13:56] <LjL> happyaron: it's not available
[13:56] <happyaron> LjL: oh
[13:56] <loic> blue_anna : hehe i meant 1600x1200 ofc
[13:56] <jaek> Galerien, hello :)
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> nmvictor:  never seen any options to enable that. So proberly not.
[13:56] <jaek> i finally have lucid up and running :D
[13:56] <LjL> happyaron: i'm in #ubuntu-bots if you have any questions about it, though.
[13:57] <Twain_32> How can i go to the folder downloads with TERMINAL ?
[13:57] <loic> wise_crypt : thanks but i've been there already and can't find what Im doing wrong that's why im here :(
[13:57] <nmvictor> Dr_Willis: too bad, i'll try google still. In open source world, you could have anything. thanks anyway
[13:57] <nmvictor> Dr_Willis: and hey, are you really a doctor?
[13:57] <Twain_32> How can i go to the folder downloads with TERMINAL ?
[13:58] <jrib> Twain_32: cd ~/Downloads    ?
[13:58] <nmvictor> Twain_32: cd ~/Downloads/
[13:58] <Twain_32> thanks
[13:58] <llutz> Twain_32: cd /dir/you/want/to/enter
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> !terminal | Twain_32
[13:58] <blue_anna> loic: what's your monitor section say?
[13:58] <Twain_32> !terminal
[13:58] <the_holstar1> What's the required package and libraried for openssl?
[13:58] <Night_Elf> nmvictor: there are ways, it's just that personally I haven't care enough. You need to search google for terms like:  splashscreen, linux boot, framebuffer, etc
[13:58] <the_holstar1> *libraries
[13:59] <Ose> okay, so I have the same problem as the original poster and want to try this solution: http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=225598&messageID=2272476&tag=content;leftCol the problem is that I can't find these options. can anyone tell me how to (I know this is #ubuntu but #bios doesn't exists, so...)
[13:59] <llutz> the_holstar1: openssl       most likely
[13:59] <nmvictor> Night_Elf: thats encoraging
[13:59] <nmvictor> Night_Elf: encouraging
[13:59] <loic> blue_anna : mmmmmmmmm I don't have one. Is that my problem ? thing is, I don't want to force anything else than the resolution. Other things are detected just fine
[13:59] <Ose> or is this on hardware level?
[14:00] <blue_anna> loic: not sure, I would guess so ... are you working from a guide anywhere?
[14:00] <the_holstar1> I am trying to install unrealircd
[14:00] <the_holstar1> and i enabled openssl
[14:00] <db_loco> blue_anna. sorry to bother you again. i didn't restart my pc, but i decided to copy one of the videos to my desktop and its transferring at 43KB/sec.  Something must be really wrong
[14:00] <loic> blue_anna : im working form previous experience and from the french ubuntu wiki
[14:00] <blue_anna> db_loco: yes
[14:00] <the_holstar1> the server gave me
[14:00] <the_holstar1> this message
[14:00] <the_holstar1> Apparently you do not have both the openssl binary and openssl development libraries installed
[14:00] <nmvictor> Has anybody managed to install Truecrypt in ubuntu powerpc arch?
[14:01] <Don9307> the_holstar1:  Have you tried from terminal:  sudo apt-get install unrealircd ?
[14:01] <blue_anna> db_loco: I'm having hard drive issues myself right now, only getting 20MiB/s from my 45MiB/s harddrive. I *wish* I could help you with taht
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> the_holstar1:  look for some openssl-dev packages in the repos
[14:01] <llutz> the_holstar1: sudo aptitude install openssl openssl-dev
[14:01] <killermask> hay
[14:01] <blue_anna> loic:  pass me the link?
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> I have to wonder why a program would need the openssl-dev package.. that seems weird.
[14:01] <nmvictor> the_holstar1: `apt-cache search openssl | grep dev might` help
[14:02] <db_loco> blue_anna, thats cool. thanks much anyways. if i find a solution i'll let u know ;). Enjoy!
[14:02] <nmvictor> the_holstar1: `apt-cache search openssl | grep dev
[14:02] <Night_Elf> nmvictor: well, you could start with understanding how and where the current splash image for Ubuntu is. Then see to replace that with your own
[14:02] <loic> blue_anna : of the french wiki ? http://doc.ubuntu-fr.com/xorg
[14:02] <nmvictor> Dr_Willis: compiling some programs need dev packages of other programs, that seems real
[14:03] <loic> blue_anna : .org instead of .com sorry
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> nmvictor:  yea. but i thought he said he was just enabling ssl on a package he allready had installed...
[14:03] <garo> I wanted to be able to login as root so i replaced the '!' in the root-line in /etc/shadow by the passwordhash of my regular user. I can now login as root with the password of my normal user but i want to change the root password
[14:03] <blue_anna> loic: oo, un momnt
[14:03] <garo> 'passwd root' tells me 'passwd: Authentication token manipulation error'
[14:03] <Night_Elf> the_holstar1: one of the packages you might need is:   libssl-dev
[14:03] <wise_crypt> !root | garo
[14:04] <the_holstar1> hmm
[14:04] <the_holstar1> thanks
[14:04] <blue_anna> loic: they have a monitor section
[14:04] <the_holstar1> i will be downloading them
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> garo:  there was (not sure now that you have tweaked things) easier ways to just set a root password. but I dont bother any more. I just do the sudo mantra
[14:04] <mc__> I want to install an windows application from an iso which I have mounted. But ubuntu tells me that the exe is not executable. can I somehow ignore this security restriction?
[14:04] <nmvictor> Night_Elf: does it have to go that far, i have "no splash" somewhere in my /etc/yaboot.conf, meaning I am not using bootsplash, just boot messages, So I wonder how I have to play around with it, or am I confused
[14:05] <Don9307> mc_:  Why are you messing with Windows anyway?
[14:05] <mc__> Don9307, I want to play warcraft III under linux
[14:05] <Don9307> mc_:  Have you installed Wine?
[14:05] <garo> wise_crypt: well that seems to be not true, cause i am able to set a root password, i'm just no able to change it
[14:06] <JigSaw-2> Hi all...
[14:06] <mc__> Don9307, yes
[14:06] <JigSaw-2> how to do automatic login to ubuntu-9.04
[14:06] <loic> blue_anna : ok Im trying to add one without specifying anything else than an identifier, and added a "monitor" line to the "screen" section does that sound good ?
[14:06] <blue_anna> loic: is there a reason you're doing it differently? am I missing something?
[14:06] <mc__> and when i try to run the exe file using wine ubuntu tells me that i cannot execute files which do not have the executable bit set
[14:06] <wise_crypt> garo: thats a bad thing to do, no comment on that
[14:06] <loic> blue_anna : well I don't want to force any settings EXCEPT for the screen resolution
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> mc__:   use wine from the command line.. 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' dont just double click on the exe
[14:06] <JigSaw-2> does anyone knows ?
[14:07] <sipior> garo: you would need to prefix your command with sudo. or else be root already.
[14:07] <Night_Elf> nmvictor: there are two types of splash images. One is the grub splash image. The other is the startup which hides the text messages during the system start (these ones I personally love, they tell me a lot how the start is going and are good for debuging when something goes wrong()
[14:07] <mc__> but I cant chmod the the exe file in the mounted iso cause its readone
[14:07] <Don9307> mc_:  You have an iso file verses an executable?
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> mc__:  dont bother chmoding it.. use the command line.
[14:07] <mc__> Dr_Willis, that does not change anything
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> mc__:  you should be able to do wine /media/cdrom/whateverinstaller.exe    just fine.
[14:07] <blue_anna> loic try adding a monitor line with nothing but the identifier, and using that in your screen section for the monitor line
[14:07] <loic> blue_anna : because everything works fine except I have to alt+F2 and run "xrandr -s 1024x768" to be able to use my computer :)
[14:08] <blue_anna> loic: ie, just add a dummy monitor section and go :) -- might work
[14:08] <JigSaw-2> does anyone knows ?
[14:08] <JigSaw-2> does anyone knows ?
[14:08] <JigSaw-2> how to do automatic login to ubuntu-9.04
[14:08] <FloodBot2> JigSaw-2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:08] <FloodBot1> JigSaw-2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:08] <garo> sipior: i already tried a 'sudo passwd root' and a 'sudo su -' followed by a 'passwd root' when i was root
[14:08] <JigSaw-2> how to do automatic login to ubuntu-9.04
[14:08] <loic> blue_anna : thanks I'll try reboot now. thanks again for your time
[14:08] <blue_anna> loic: g/l
[14:08] <wise_crypt> garo: sudo -s will get you to # but thats all i can give you sorry
[14:08] <rocket16> !empathy
[14:08] <blue_anna> is that right?
[14:09] <JigSaw-2> !no one answers
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> JigSaw-2:  actually most have you on ignore for all the flooding i imagine
[14:09] <mcl0vin> when i ls -la /etc/lir* i get "-rw-r--r--   1 root root 50849 2010-05-31 06:01 lircd.conf" and when i do 'rm /etc/lircd.conf' i get "rm: cannot remove `/etc/lircd.conf': No such file or directory"
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> JigSaw-2:  you did look in the system -> admin Menu in the login settings icon?
[14:09] <JigSaw-2> Dr_Willis, that did not work as I check
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> JigSaw-2:  it should work. ive enabled it that way in the past.
[14:10] <blue_anna> mcl0vin: you shouldn't, since you have read access -- did you sudo the rm ?
[14:10] <Night_Elf> mcl0vin: and when you do:  ls -l /etc/lircd.conf    ?
[14:10] <mc__> Dr_Willis, oh, yeah you are right. That does not give me the executable bit error, but interestingly enoguh it does not do anything, not even display an error
[14:10] <JigSaw-2> Dr_Willis, will it work for remote-login ? or for different ttys ?
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> JigSaw-2:  theres also the 3rd party tool 'gdm2setup' and some other gdm tweaker tools like ubuntu-tweak that may be to enable it
[14:11] <nmvictor> Now, look at this. I set the system time in my iBook loaded with Lucid, it correctly sets but after reboot, its behind by one hour. Each reboot takes me one hour back in the past. At some point i COULD NOT be able to log into my system for a whole week until i disabled boot splash and then spoted the message[paraphrased]"/dev/hda3[/home] last mount time is in future", so  with OpenFirmware, I was able to reset the time which led to a succesfull login. H
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> JigSaw-2:  no idea on remote. tty's ? gdm can autologin to X/Desktop. If you want a CONSOLE to auto login you do it a different way
[14:11] <garo> I know how to get root, that's not to the problem, how else would i have changed /etc/shadow without being root. The only problem is that i can only let root have no password or let him have the same password as my regular user
[14:11] <mcl0vin> blue_anna: yeah even when i use sudo
[14:11] <JigSaw-2> Dr_Willis, how ?
[14:11] <sipior> aro: does it give the error before or after you specify a password?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> JigSaw-2:  be a bit more verbose in yoru statements..  how to what part?
[14:12] <llutz> garo: "ls -l /etc/shadow"
[14:12] <erUSUL> !sudo | garo
[14:12] <JigSaw-2> Dr_Willis, how to autologin to CONSOLE ?
[14:12] <mcl0vin> Night_Elf: when i do the ls -l i get the same result no file/dir found
[14:12] <garo> i know what sudo is, how did you thing i became root ?
[14:12] <llutz> garo: there was no need to mess with /etc/shadow to get root enabled
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> JigSaw-2:  on 10.04 i would alter the proper /etc/init/ttyS#.conf file to run the proper command. Not sure about older releases
[14:13] <Night_Elf> mcl0vin: then there really is no such file
[14:13] <remoteCTRL> where the heck has the keyboard indicator applet gone??
[14:13] <Twain_32> guys :) how can i extract an zip files ???
[14:13] <mcl0vin> Night_Elf: aight then
[14:13] <geirha> Twain_32: Right-click -> extract
[14:13] <loic> loic_anna : not working :(
[14:13] <Night_Elf> mcl0vin: you see what gives this:    sudo updatedb ; locate lircd.conf
[14:13] <loic> oop I meant blue_anna
[14:13] <nmvictor> garo: I think given it location, you can only edit /etc/shadow as root, I am not sure if bootin to a live CD and mounting the /root/ of you installed system then editing it from the live CD is possible, it might be but I WOULD'NT ADVICE
[14:14] <JigSaw-2> Dr_Willis, WHICH package installed it ?
[14:14] <garo> llutz: i tought that i if you had a ! or a * in after the first : in /etc/shadow the login was disabled
[14:14] <blue_anna> loic: same error, or you get no valid device this time?
[14:14] <llutz> garo: "ls -l /etc/shadow"
[14:14] <llutz> garo: sudo -i    followed by "passwd" would have been all to do
[14:14] <garo> -rw-r----- ofcourse
[14:14] <mcl0vin> Night_Elf: /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
[14:14] <loic> blue_anna : no error at all in log "I mean no (EE) line" but there's this strange line : Panel size is not selected from config file
[14:14] <Night_Elf> mcl0vin: then that's where your file is
[14:15] <mcl0vin> ok
[14:15] <llutz> garo: owner/group?
[14:15] <remoteCTRL> how do i switch the keyboard layout in lucid?
[14:15] <mcl0vin> thanks
[14:15] <garo> nmvictor: i can edit /etc/shadow , no problem there
[14:15] <garo> llutz: root:shadow
[14:15] <Twain_32> when im trying to extract files i got this !
[14:15] <Twain_32> You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///etc/apache2/sites-available"
[14:16] <nmvictor> Why cant ubuntu maintain correct date and time settings between reboots?
[14:16] <geirha> garo: Read the RootSudo page
[14:16] <garo> llutz: the only thing i changed in /etc/shadow is change the ! to a password hash
[14:16] <blue_anna> loic: I guess you have to manually specify the device too
[14:16] <remoteCTRL> somehow things keep disappearing substitutelessly here in ubuntu and i am really starting to get annoyed by this! rrrrrrrrrrrrr
[14:16] <nmvictor> Why cant ubuntu maintain correct date and time settings between reboots?
[14:16] <Twain_32> when im trying to extract files i got this !
[14:16] <Twain_32> You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///etc/apache2/sites-available"
[14:17] <sipior> remoteCTRL: substitutelessly?
[14:17] <geirha> Twain_32: Normally only root has write access there.
[14:17] <striatedpattern> Need wifi help. Connection is cutting off immediately in Ubuntu. XP connection is rock solid. Replaced Network Manager with Wicd. It worked for a couple months. Now Wicd is cutting off immediately after connecting.
[14:17] <Twain_32> so how can i extract zip files from terminal ?
[14:17] <erUSUL> nmvictor: do you dual boot with windows ?
[14:17] <nmvictor> Whats the next version of ubuntu by name
[14:17] <remoteCTRL> nmvictor: probably because your bios time is wrong, have a try with network time protokoll daemon; sudo apt-get install ntpd
[14:17] <Night_Elf> nmvictor: It does. You have to see what settings you have for timezone and daylight settings. And also check whether your bios does have something similar as well. If it does, most probably your bios and your system can't find a common language when they negotiate about that
[14:17] <erUSUL> Twain_32: unzip file.zip
[14:17] <geirha> Twain_32: sudo unzip the_zipfile.zip
[14:17] <Twain_32> thanks
[14:18] <Night_Elf> Twain_32: you want to extract to /etc/apache2/sites-available/   ??
[14:18] <nmvictor> erUSUL: No, its a 10 GB ibook thus ubuntu-exclusive
[14:18] <geirha> Twain_32: Though it will overwrite without asking, so make sure you know what it contains.
[14:18] <garo> geirha: i know what sudo is, but i want a root password, setting the root pass worked, but i can only set it to the same value as that of my regular user
[14:18] <loic> blue_anna : there's a "panelsize" parameter that I can set in the device section... looks good
[14:18] <geirha> garo: Yes and that page explains how
[14:18] <erUSUL> nmvictor: your bios is acting funny... maybe the mobo battery is waring off ?
[14:18] <remoteCTRL> sipior: where the hell has the keyboard indicator applet gone? where the hell have the entries for cdrom drives in autofs gone? where have the filetype associatins gone that open f. ex. gnomebaker if you enter an ampty cdrom, etc...?
[14:19] <remoteCTRL> can somebody PLEASE tell me how to switch the freakin keyboard layout in lucid??
[14:19] <Night_Elf> garo: if possible, don't mess with the root user and the root password, unless there's no other way to do what you're trying to do and you do know exactly what you are doing and what is going on. I doubt this, otherwise you wouldn't be here :)
[14:20] <geirha> !language | remoteCTRL
[14:20] <sipior> geirha: ?
[14:20] <garo> geirha: doesn't work, same error:
[14:20] <dsnyders> !sound
[14:20] <garo> passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[14:20] <garo> passwd: password unchanged
[14:20] <Twain_32> guys when im going to downloads folders i got error!!
[14:20] <Twain_32> twain_32@Twain:~$ cd ~/downloads/
[14:20] <Twain_32> bash: cd: /home/twain_32/downloads/: No such file or directory
[14:20] <remoteCTRL> geirha: first of all this IS family freindly, second PLEASE mind your own business;)
[14:21] <garo> and before anyone asks 'whoami' tells me 'root'
[14:21] <slowz> ~/Downloads
[14:21] <wise_crypt> garo: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security#recoveryrisk
[14:21] <nmvictor> erUSUL: Night_Elf remoteCTRL : Actually their isnt BIOS in an iBook, an OpenFirmware is to an Ibook what Bios is to an intel PC, does that change your suggestions?
[14:21] <jXP3> hey. How to prevent sound from muting when changing xserver or tty with ctrl+alt+Fx?
[14:21] <Twain_32> slowz same error
[14:21] <Twain_32> twain_32@Twain:~$ cd ~/downloads/
[14:21] <Twain_32> bash: cd: /home/twain_32/downloads/: No such file or directory
[14:21] <Twain_32> help please
[14:22] <frxstrem> does anyone know how to communicate with an FM radio through /dev/radio0?
[14:22] <linux> hi all
[14:22] <ForkByte> who knows how to install spawn command in ubuntu lucid?
[14:22] <Twain_32> help please
[14:22] <Twain_32> bash: cd: /home/twain_32/downloads/: No such file or directory
[14:22] <remoteCTRL> nmvictor: in case you can set your system time there i frankly spoken dont care how you nae that;) further do install ntpd, that one synchronizes your system time with the internet
[14:22] <Twain_32> twain_32@Twain:~$ cd ~/downloads/
[14:22] <Halitech> Twain_32, is the folder called downloads or Downloads?
[14:22] <mcl0vin> wget -O - http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput  | sudo tee -a /etc/lirc/lircd.conf works fine except that i want to over ride not append
[14:22] <Twain_32> bash: cd: /home/twain_32/downloads/: No such file or directory
[14:22] <geirha> garo: You've likely corrupted /etc/shadow
[14:22] <bastidrazor> jXP3: it only pauses until you login the TTY. once you get it you can then switch back and forth with no pausing
[14:22] <Twain_32> its important ???? "d" or "D" ???
[14:22] <sipior> garo: what happens if you remove the password entry entirely (between the two colons), and then set it again? (make sure you already have a root terminal open)
[14:23] <Twain_32> Halitech its important ???? "d" or "D" ???
[14:23] <linux> i an not been able to use system file as root also error-permition denied
[14:23] <erUSUL> nmvictor: well; not really. not mine anyway, if the mobo can not keep saved the date an time. ubuntu will boot up wi5th incorrect one. if you enable ntp (preferences in the clock) the time will be corrected
[14:23] <wise_crypt> Twain_32, its Downloads
[14:23] <garo> geirha: that would suprise me because at the moment i can get to root with both su and sudo
[14:23] <llutz> mcl0vin: tee without -a (-a append)
[14:23] <Halitech> Twain_32, yes it is, linux is case sensative
[14:23] <remoteCTRL> ok for all of you who wonder where the keybeard indicator went; ITS IN YOUR NOTIFICATION AREA -.-
[14:24] <erUSUL> nmvictor: also check what does « grep UTC /etc/default/rcS » says
[14:24] <Pixar> Question, should a 1 tb hdd upgrade work on my 2007 hp laptop model that has internal 160 gb? i can't access their chat because they don't support linux browsers, bastards, and i was wondering if anyone here ever tried that.
[14:24] <Climbing_Freak> I've been trawling through web pages for 2 weeks. How do I get rid of my extra boot loader? Anybody
[14:24] <Twain_32> Halitech,Wise_crypt thanks ;)
[14:24] <Halitech> Pixar, do you know if its a sata drive? assuming it is based on the size
[14:24] <nmvictor> remoteCTRL: E: Couldn't find package ntpd
[14:24] <Night_Elf> nmvictor: I's still recomend the same. this OpenFirmware thing has to be checked what does it say/have in relating to timezones and daylight savings settings.
[14:24] <linux> i an not been able to use system file as root also error-permission denied
[14:24] <Climbing_Freak> How do I tell
[14:25] <Pixar> yes sata, that's not a problem Halitech, i'm only afraid if they limited the motherboard features/bios
[14:25] <ChogyDan> linux: what are you trying to do?
[14:25] <wise_crypt> !sudo > linux
[14:25] <Halitech> Pixar, what kind of laptop?
[14:25] <erUSUL> Climbing_Freak: what extra boot loader? can you give more details/context ?
[14:25] <linux> ChogyDan, to change splash image
[14:25] <Climbing_Freak> eeepc
[14:25] <jXP3> bastidrazor, the problem is that I have second x server for games, and when I switch to it, music pauses.
[14:25] <Pixar> Halitech, hp pavilion DV6645EN
[14:25] <Climbing_Freak> hang on
[14:25] <nmvictor> erUSUL: UTC=yes
[14:26] <garo> sipior: strange, when i remove the passwordhash, login as a regular user and run 'su -' i become root without having to enter a password
[14:26] <BluesKaj> Pixar,  whose chat ?
[14:26] <geirha> garo: try pwck(8) to be sure
[14:26] <cinnabarisland12> does anyone know how I can get Ubuntu to play encrypted dvds?
[14:26] <sipior> garo: that's not strange :-)
[14:26] <Pixar> BlueEagle,  hp.com
[14:26] <bastidrazor> jXP3: i've never toyed with two X's running on seperate TTY
[14:26] <Pixar> they have a support chat
[14:26] <bastidrazor> jXP3: 's..
[14:26] <wise_crypt> !dvd > cinnabarisland12
[14:26] <erUSUL> nmvictor: if the machine is linux only it is better to have UTC=no
[14:26] <erUSUL> nmvictor: maybe that's the cause of the issue
[14:27] <BluesKaj> Pixar, is it irc or a java/forum ?
[14:27] <Pixar> java
[14:27] <linux> ChogyDan, u know
[14:27] <Pixar> i tried emulating in a kde browser, but not working
[14:27] <nmvictor> Night_Elf: I just know I can set the time using OpenFirmware, sort of command line thing
[14:27] <ChogyDan> no

[14:27] <garo> oh i think i found the problem
[14:28] <dad> where can i find the vlc log
[14:28] <garo> i never, ever use ldap and related stuff except on one system and that's this system, forgot all about it
[14:28] <Night_Elf> grep UTC /etc/default/rcS
[14:28] <Night_Elf> nmvictor: and for the record, im my installation I have:  UTC=no
[14:28] <dsnyders> Hi All!  I have sound coming out the wazoo... well actually out of both the pc speakers and the external speakers.  How do I disable the pc speakers?  There is no option for it in System>Preferences>Sound.
[14:28] <wise_crypt> cinnabarisland12 : might help http://www.ubuntugeek.com/playing-encrypted-dvds-in-ubuntu.html
[14:28] <rileyp> where can i find the vlc log
[14:28] <Twain_32> guys when im trying to paste web files to /var/www/  it says acces denied, not a right permission!
[14:28] <erUSUL> rileyp: i do not think vlc mantains a log
[14:29] <Twain_32> how can i copy and paste the files from terminal
[14:29] <garo> that's probably causing it, i think i can find it on my own now, thanks !
[14:29] <erUSUL> Twain_32: sudo cp file /var/www/
[14:29] <geirha> Twain_32: « sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/www »  After that you will have write access to it.
[14:29] <nmvictor> erUSUL: I actually set it to yes during the installation, i bet i dint know why. I'll try to set that to No. However, I like what you had started on the battery issue, Some Apple forum claimed that the battery has alot to do with system time, could you expound on that please?
[14:29] <BluesKaj> Pixar, I'm using chromium-browser and i have no probs with hp.com/support/chat
[14:29] <Pixar> also tried that
[14:29] <rileyp> can vlc play mp3's
[14:30] <Pixar> hmmm
[14:30] <wise_crypt> Twain_32: gksudo nautilus
[14:30] <Night_Elf> Twain_32: because you are a a (mere, mortal) user. While the files at /var/www/  need administrator permition to be manipulated
[14:30] <nmvictor> remoteCTRL: so how do I install ntpd package?
[14:30] <coz_> rileyp,  it should be able to
[14:30] <loic> blue_anna : still not working. here's an interesting log http://pastebin.com/u5J5JHJF I can't understand what's wrong. Check out lines 16 and 34 to 36 I think the answer is there but can't figure it out
[14:30] <erUSUL> nmvictor: if the battery has no energy the mobo can not keep the memory that keeps the time on and the memory loos its contents everytime you power off the machine
[14:31] <Pixar> BluesKaj, maybe because you haven't selected the model yet
[14:31] <Night_Elf> Twain_32: use what wise_crypt said with caution. You can delete all sorts of things with that if you make a mistake and it's a good way to mess your system spectacularly
[14:31] <rileyp> thats what i thougght it does in windows
[14:31] <BluesKaj> Pixar, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[14:31] <loic> blue_anna : I may just "xrandr -s 1024x768" in a startup script, but I believe the xorg.conf method is "cleaner"
[14:32] <rileyp> Im having trouble with xbmc and every other player playing some auso tracks
[14:32] <Pixar> BluesKaj, nope, what;s that
[14:32] <christopher_> I'm having trouble with pasting between programs: Does anyone have any tips, if when I copy from a OpenOffice doc into InDesign of WINE I get a whole lot of this: {\rtf1\ansi\deff0\adeflang1025
[14:32] <christopher_> {\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fprq2\fcharset128 Times New Roman;}{\f1\froman\fprq2\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f2\fnil\fprq2\fcharset128 DejaVu Sans;}}
[14:32] <christopher_> ??
[14:32] <geirha> Twain_32: Giving yourself ownership of /var/www is safer than running around as root
[14:32] <erUSUL> nmvictor: UTC=yes only makes sense when dualbooting with windows becouse windows saves the date in bios in current timezone instead of in utc (like everybody else's do; its the only sane thing to do)
[14:32] <sque> hi
[14:32] <loic> blue_anna's not here anymore apparently :(
[14:32] <loic> is someone else willing to help me ?
[14:32] <sque> what?
[14:32] <rileyp> but moives play fine with audio
[14:32] <sque> to help
[14:32] <BluesKaj> !ubuntu-restricted-extras | Pixar
[14:32] <erUSUL> nmvictor: so UTC=yes is a hack to workaraund a windows braindamage (like many other things)
[14:33] <Twain_32> geirha so im copying "web" folder from home doing this  cp files /var/www/ and i got this cp: omitting directory `web
[14:33] <rileyp> and some audio tracks play fine
[14:33] <Pixar> BluesKaj, thanks, installing now
[14:33] <geirha> Twain_32: « sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/www »  After that you will have write access to it so you can drag and drop files into it.
[14:33] <sque> if anybody have a problem with ubuntu , call me , i am professional , specially with its kernel
[14:33] <nmvictor> erUSUL:The forum further talked of resetting the battery SOMETHING, sorry i have forgotten which meant ressteing system time to 00:00:00 <SOME YEAR>
[14:33] <erUSUL> Twain_32: for directoies is "cp -r"
[14:33] <Pixar> BluesKaj, hehe last version installed :/
[14:33] <dsnyders> rileyp, Put your question on one big line.  It's difficult to read when it's all broken up by other peoples posts.
[14:33] <oppp> hi
[14:34] <Twain_32> geirha what that means ??? $USER:$USER
[14:34] <lubuntu_user> Does anyone know whether intel i845 problems have been fixed into the Maverick Meerkat pre-alpha cdimage build?
[14:34] <erUSUL> nmvictor: anyway even if it was the battery; it is an old laptop. you can not replace it or do anything about it
[14:34] <Twain_32> geirha but i wan't to work with terminal :(
[14:34] <geirha> Twain_32: Which user and group that should have ownersip of the folder.
[14:34] <sipior> lubuntu_user: bit early to be talking about a pre-alpha release, isn't it?
[14:34] <erUSUL> nmvictor: yes do « UTC=yes » and configure the system to update time via internet.
[14:34] <geirha> Twain_32: No, it's a one time thing.
[14:34] <Twain_32> ok ;)
[14:35] <oppp> fuck you
[14:35] <BluesKaj> Pixar, your java chat should work now
[14:35] <nexify> how do i remove some of these x window things.. like fluxbox etc.?
[14:35] <Pixar> no i mean it was already installed
[14:35] <lubuntu_user> sipior - it is available into the cdimage.ubuntu.com daily builds
[14:35] <rileyp> none of my mp3's wil play in vlc yet movies with audio work fine. myth and audio work fibne, xbmc can play some of my mp3's but only a few.
[14:35] <sipior> lubuntu_user: i don't doubt it.
[14:35] <nmvictor> Why would my iBook screen go off some minutes after the AC is unplugged, then on plugging back the AC, it comes back on but with a servere graphics malformed look.
[14:35] <dsnyders> geirha, Is there not a group that has read/write permissions to the /var/www/ folder?
[14:35] <coz_> rileyp,  have you installed the  ubuntu-restricted-extras  ??
[14:35] <Pixar> but thanks for the help anyway BluesKaj
[14:36] <Pixar> :(
[14:36] <BluesKaj> Pixar, also install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:36] <loic> okay I'll try to sum up my problem again sorry but I really do need help, I checked wikis, google... and I've been on the same issue for hours now. I just want my laptop to boot up in a correct resolution "1024x768" instead of "1600x1200". Here's my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/as3JvpMM and the interestings parts of xorg logs (lines 16 and 34 to 36 in particular). What am I doing wrong ? help me please
[14:36] <geirha> dsnyders: By default? I don't think so.
[14:36] <rileyp> I folloed the ubuntu guid eofr audi and installed verything but did audi clean out i think when i reinstalled myth o.23
[14:36] <shiftingcontrol> i am unable to use gui of 9.04 ,when ever i start my pc(only 9.04 is installed) only tty login session is availbale???
[14:37] <rileyp> as it installed pulse and i dithed pulse and went back to alsa
[14:37] <rileyp> so i perhaps so go back throughthe guide
[14:37] <loic> shiftingcontrol : do you any space left on the / partition ?
[14:37] <naples_guy> when i boot my 9.04 system, there is no wireless.  lshw -C network shows networking:DISABLED.  I go into Hardware Drivers and my broadcom driver is activated, but not in use.  Deactivated, then Reactivated and it works.  How can I set this to work automatically?
[14:37] <shiftingcontrol> @loic yes i have
[14:37] <coz_> loic,  out of curiosity  which video card...    lspci | grep -i vga
[14:37] <rileyp> <shiftingcontro
[14:37] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: "ls -ld /tmp"
[14:38] <nmvictor> erUSUL: Should i set it to no? I dont have a dual boot. My machine cant afford that. and to configure the system to update time via the internet, that requires this ntpd package which according to my apt-get, it cannot be found
[14:38] <rileyp> shiftingcontrol,  type startx
[14:38] <erUSUL> nmvictor: yes; set it to no
[14:38] <loic> coz_ : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M800/K8N800/K8N800A [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01)

[14:39] <shiftingcontrol> @ llutz and @ rileyp2 mins
[14:39] <coz_> loic,  ooo   unichrome.... ah I know very little about unichrome chips... or the drivers  hold on let me check
[14:39] <loic> coz_ : once it has booted I have to do alt F2 then type "xrandr -s 1024x768" and then it's perfect... Im sure there's a way I can tell xorg.conf to do that automatically
[14:39] <coz_> loic,  well did you find a driver for that ?
[14:40] <loic> coz_ : openchrome ?
[14:40] <coz_> loic,   I would assume
[14:40] <nexify> anyone here know about how i can get my theme in fit with a 12" screen?
[14:40] <dsnyders> geirha, Hmm... Oversight, I guess.   Otherwise you could just add the user to the apache group or webadmin group or whatever.  Wouldn't that be the "proper" way of doing it?
[14:40] <loic> coz_ : without xorg.conf everything works fine except I have to manually change the resolution at startup
[14:40] <BluesKaj> Pixar, make sure you close your browser , then restart...sometimes a reboot or relogin is in order
[14:40] <lubuntu_user> loic - i have similar problems in my laptop and the same via card. I guess it os not the video card, but the monitor, so i made a little xrandr script into my gdm - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution .
[14:40] <coz_> loic,  mmm... I assume you saw this page?   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome
[14:41] <uLinux_> hello i enable "open folder with root privileged" on Ubuntu Tweak.. so now how can I use it?
[14:41] <Pixar> BluesKaj, thanks i'll reboot ...
[14:41] <uLinux_> enabled
[14:41] <Dizkonnekted> can anyone help me solve a problem with xorg (and no desktop effects enabled) randomly pushing up my CPU usage (intel dual core 3.4Ghz)
[14:41] <LjL> uLinux_: why do you need to change root folders?
[14:42] <coz_> Dizkonnekted,  which video card?  lspci | grep -i vga
[14:42] <Dizkonnekted> uLinux_,  right click the folder you want to open and choose the menu item "open as administrator"
[14:42] <shiftingcontrol> @llutz o/p drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 feb 10 18.55 /tmp
[14:42] <lubuntu_user> loic - But now I have different problems - no 3d (i guess it will not be fixed for the time being) and no Xv (X11 is the only option, but it is so slow, that i cannot watch any video)
[14:42] <loic> coz_ : can it be related to this weird (II) CHROME(0): ViaPanelGetNativeModeFromOption in xorg.log ? the link you gave is outdated...
[14:42] <geirha> dsnyders: Nah, it really just depends on the needs. In a multiuser system you'd typically create one or more groups, and give different groups access to different directories under /var/www etc. If there's only one user, you might as well just give it full access to it
[14:42] <shiftingcontrol> @rileyp o/p is an error stating"it is rad only file system"
[14:42] <leetsweden> I just bought a IBM Thinkpad T60 :D
[14:42] <Dizkonnekted> coz_, its an ATI Radeon 9200 (pci, rv280)
[14:43] <coz_> loic,  yeah I know the link is outdated..unfortunately... I am going to assume that the driver needs to be installed properly.... at least in order to fix the resolution issue
[14:43] <uLinux_> LjL, sometimes I want to use Nautilus as root without using gksudo nautilus
[14:43] <uLinux_> Dizkonnekted, I doesn't show that option
[14:43] <LjL> uLinux_: perhaps you need to restart X before it's shown?
[14:43] <uLinux_> yeah
[14:43] <uLinux_> :P
[14:43] <Twain_32> mm how can add web files to my webserver ?
[14:43] <uLinux_> LjL, logout and login?
[14:43] <Dizkonnekted> LjL, agreed
[14:43] <coz_> Dizkonnekted,  crap... I know next to nothing about intel video...  is this gnome or kde  and are you using compiz  or kdes "kompiz" :)
[14:44] <LjL> uLinux_: yeah
[14:44] <uLinux_> ty
[14:44] <Twain_32> where exactly web files must be ??
[14:44] <lubuntu_user> loic - try https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/drivers-only if you thing the fault is into the the driver. For it wasn't.
[14:44] <loic> coz_ : can it be not properly installed and works this good ? the only problem is the default autodetected resolution is wrong...
[14:44] <llutz> Twain_32: wherever you defined "documentroot"
[14:44] <shiftingcontrol> @llutz,@rileyp  i cannot use mkdir() it throws it is a read only file system
[14:44] <llutz> Twain_32: /j #httpd
[14:45] <coz_> loic,  ok  I am going to suggest going to the ##linux channel...they have a braoder base of knowledge there and might be able to straighten this out for you
[14:45] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: "sudo mount -o remount,rw /"
[14:45] <nmvictor> remoteCTR:  http://pastebin.com/jJXxhDiu
[14:45] <Dizkonnekted> coz_, its an ATI not intel and its gnome, with no effects enabled xorg randomly pushed my cpu usage up
[14:45] <loic> coz_ : I think the startup script with xrandr sounds an easier solution than compiling latest drivers and stuff for such a small issue ...
[14:45] <nmvictor> remoteCTR:  http://pastebin.com/jJXxhDiu. have a look at that funny output
[14:45] <uLinux_> it did the trick
[14:45] <LjL> shiftingcontrol, how did this happen? i ask because linux makes your filesystem read-only if it detects serious problems with your hard drive
[14:46] <K|nG> Hello, I use Ubuntu 10.04 and I have configure a PPPOE user but after I reboot NetworkManager is not shown to show that I need to do this... > Login terminal do this <>>> cd /etc/network > rm -rf interfaces > ps x | grep Net* >> kill -9 NR | then the network manager is shown and rady to work :PP anyy one can help me to fix this problem !!!!!!!!
[14:46] <shiftingcontrol> @llutz now i can make files
[14:46] <coz_> loic,  ok
[14:46] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: "sudo touch /forcefsck" and reboot
[14:46] <itheos> hey
[14:47] <shiftingcontrol> @ljl few days back i opened my cabinet and removed RAM and cleaned the dust
[14:47] <itheos> any way i can copy the softwares which ubuntu has downloaded and then later it installed? i think they are stored somewhere?
[14:47] <coz_> Dizkonnekted,  mmm   not sure... when xorg ramps the cpu my first thought is poor video drivers .... or installed improperly... and for ati  the only person I trust...or know well enough to trust with ati  is soreau
[14:47] <coz_> be right back  ...nature call :)
[14:47] <K|nG> Hello, I use Ubuntu 10.04 and I have configure a PPPOE user but after I reboot NetworkManager is not shown to show that I need to do this... > Login terminal do this <>>> cd /etc/network > rm -rf interfaces > ps x | grep Net* >> kill -9 NR | then the network manager is shown and rady to work :PP anyy one can help me to fix this problem !!!!!!!!
[14:47] <shiftingcontrol> @llutz ssytem is rebooting
[14:48] <wise_crypt> !info ntp > nmvictor
[14:48] <slestak_> itheos: all the dl's are stored in /var somewhere
[14:48] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: that will force a filesystemcheck
[14:48] <loic> coz_ : I didn't send the link to my xorg logs properly : http://pastebin.com/u5J5JHJF can you tell me what you think of lines 16 and 34-36 ?
[14:48] <LjL> itheos: the packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archive
[14:48] <itheos> slestak_, thanks and what is the exact path?
[14:48] <dsnyders> Hi All!  How do I disable the pc speakers?  There is no option for it in System>Preferences>Sound.
[14:48] <LjL> itheos: the packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[14:48] <itheos> ok thanks LjL
[14:49] <Lcawte> is it possible to have a directory automaticly cloning another?
[14:49] <naples_guy> when i boot my 9.04 system, there is no wireless.  lshw -C network shows networking:DISABLED.  I go into Hardware Drivers and my broadcom driver is activated, but not in use.  Deactivated, then Reactivated and it works.  How can I set this to work automatically?
[14:49] <shiftingcontrol> @llutz an error occured while loading pr saving config info
[14:49] <llutz> Lcawte: lsyncd
[14:49] <dsnyders> Lcawte, You could create links, or use rsync
[14:49] <loic> lubuntu_user : how did you get the xrandr script to launch at startup but only after Xorg has started ?
[14:49] <nmvictor> wise_crypt: thanks
[14:50] <Lcawte> dsnyders: page on it?
[14:50] <wise_crypt> nmvictor: no problem
[14:50] <rileyp> shifting control you have to run fsck
[14:50] <Dizkonnekted> coz_, thats ok, i have looked into a lot myself, enabling KMS worked for a while, but then suddenly it stopped working, it was from that point on my problem surfaced, i have a couple of very good links if you would like them, they seem to work most every other older ATI card(s)
[14:50] <shiftingcontrol> @rileyp how to do tad?u mean filesystem check?
[14:51] <rileyp> ther is a command that wil run fsck on a reboor
[14:51] <slestak_> i want to do a dist-upgrade on a machine from 9.10 to 10.04.  i do not hav e enough freee space in / to hold all the packages.  Can i specify an alternative dl location just for this upgrade in /?
[14:51] <shiftingcontrol> @llutz now i can only see a balck screen and my white cursor
[14:51] <AnxiousNut-out> im trying to ssh (tunneling), but it's giving me "ssh: connect to host my.pc.ip.add port 22: Connection timed out"! im using port 22, default but not working! help
[14:51] <rileyp> shiftingcontrol,  ther is a simple command to run fsck on all file system on reboot
[14:51] <dsnyders> Lcawte, I don't have a page, sorry.  You'd have to google for linux hard link  or rsync.
[14:51] <rileyp> this wil fix you up
[14:51] <llutz> rileyp: that what he did
[14:52] <dsnyders> Lcawte, what are you trying to accomplish?
[14:52] <shiftingcontrol> @rileyp i gave reboot command and i can see only balck screen
[14:52] <wise_crypt> !ssh > AnxiousNut-out
[14:52] <Lcawte> dsnyders: I have a svn project that I want to commit to 2 repos
[14:52] <loic> coz_ : im the only one talking in ##linux ... :(
[14:52] <Oprtz> just install compiz extra, but cant find Fire effect :( i m using ubuntu 10.04
[14:52] <vega> slestak_: i did that once by symlinking /var/cache/apt/archives to another partition ..
[14:52] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: you havent used the "touch /forcefsck" before rebooting?
[14:52] <mpchester> When i tried to install 10.04 with the desktop instillation, it boots the cd, shows a purple screen and then loses connection with the monitor.  I installed with the alternative disk and it worked up until the normal boot through grub.  I then tried the Safe Mode boot and it did the same thing as the other modes, it loses connection with the monitor.  Any advice?
[14:53] <shiftingcontrol> @llutz i used after that only i gave reboot
[14:53] <slestak_> vega: hmmm, thvm
[14:53] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: boot from live-cd and perform a fsck then
[14:53] <rileyp> shifting control http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/
[14:54] <nmvictor> anyone know why my monitor would just go off unexpectedly after i have unplugged the AC?
[14:54] <coz_> nmvictor,  ah... "after " you unplugged the AC??
[14:54] <J4k3r> !help
[14:54] <rileyp> shifting control you cannot run fsck on a loaded fs it stuffs it
[14:55] <rileyp> fsck has to be run prior to the fs loading
[14:55] <shiftingcontrol> rileyp:i gave fsck in terminal as a root
[14:55] <progre55> hi guys! how do I update my ATI driver to the latest version? (10.5)
[14:56] <shiftingcontrol> rileyp it show some illegal blocks
[14:56] <happyface> what's a good font to use for putty (windows) to openssh (ubuntu)? The default ones don't have lots of unicode chars
[14:56] <nmvictor> coz_: i sometime think its a battery issue, i dont know actually
[14:56] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:it show /dev/sda1 contains illegal file system
[14:57] <two-ten> Hi, question, I'm trying to run a program in Ubuntu 9.04 and it won't run because it's expecting GlibC 2.11. According to Synaptic I have GlibC 2.6 and I can't upgrade it because that's for newer distros. I can't upgrade my distro due to hardware issues. However, I really want to run this program. I've tried tricking it into thinking GlibC 2.11 was there via symlinks, but that doesn't work. Any ideas?
[14:57] <coz_> nmvictor,  ah this is a laptop... I see... well that sounds like a battery issue for sure...at least that would be my first thing to check
[14:57] <imperfect-> So yeaj, anyonek now why I'd keep getting "The composite extension is unavailable" on a system with Nvidia GTX280?
[14:57] <coz_> nmvictor,  its pretty unlikely  to be the operating system
[14:57] <sipior> two-ten: don't suppose you have the source code available?
[14:58] <dsnyders> Lcawte, Okay... way out of my depth.  rsync might be the way to go.  It synchronizes folders between two remote computers (or two folders on the same computer).  It is frequently used in backup scripts.  You'd have to find a howto for details though.  I've only gotten my toes wet with it.
[14:58] <two-ten> sipior, I should, but I don't. It's a SecondLife viewer, but I couldn't find the source-code on her site anywhere.
[14:58] <nmvictor> coz_: so what would you suggest
[14:59] <coz_> nmvictor,  well  everything works with AC  correct?   the only thing it seems to be would be battery    ... do you have another battery to test it with?
[14:59] <two-ten> sipior, I realise that the easiest way to do it would be to recompile the program for my system, with my GLibC, that was pretty much my first thought.
[14:59] <two-ten> (not that I know anything about compiling, so YAY)
[14:59] <rileyp> shiftingcontrol,  your not suppsed to run fsck from terminal as the fs is already running
[14:59] <K|nG> Hello, I use Ubuntu 10.04 and I have configure a PPPOE user but after I reboot NetworkManager is not shown to show that I need to do this... > Login terminal do this <>>> cd /etc/network > rm -rf interfaces > ps x | grep Net* >> kill -9 NR | then the network manager is shown and rady to work :PP anyy one can help me to fix this problem !!!!!!!

[14:59] <FloodBot4> K|nG: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:00] <rethus> ! ubuntu-desktop
[15:00] <rileyp> this can damege your fs
[15:00] <K|nG> No bady answer to my question damn
[15:00] <rethus> ! remove ubuntu desktop
[15:00] <itheos> LjL, any other thing i can recover from my old installation? if you have any idea?
[15:00] <shiftingcontrol> rileyp, so i should run from liveCD oly
[15:00] <BluesKaj> two-ten, did you try edit/fix broken pkges in synaptic ...gotta ask the obvious
[15:00] <Krukas> !beer
[15:00] <KurtKraut> two-ten, I belive the developer of this software did a very bad and tricky thing to refuse newer versions of a library. AFAIK, this shouldn't be done. And I belive a workaround is quite impossible.
[15:01] <bastidrazor> !purekde | rethus .. follow the link for how to do so. you don't need the kde stuff unless you want it.
[15:01] <rileyp> shiftingcontrol,  the idea is to tell your system to run fsck on the next reboot
[15:01] <KurtKraut> two-ten, the only solution I can see is using a full linux distribution version that has precisely glibc 2.11.
[15:01] <rileyp> shiftingcontrol,  that way you dont need a live cd reapir cd etc
[15:01] <two-ten> KurtKraut, I agree but I can't do that due to hardware issues.
[15:01] <imperfect-> so no ideas on the composite drivers?
[15:01] <rethus> bastidrazor: i have xubuntu and have tryed ubuntu.. but still not need ubuntu and need to keep xfce.
[15:01] <two-ten> BluesKaj, actually, I didn't, let me do that now.
[15:02] <rileyp> but if it bo longer boots to a sceen that you can type in that will be your only choice
[15:02] <KurtKraut> two-ten, so there is no solution for your problem. I hope someone can come up with something, but I personally belive this is not possible.
[15:02] <rileyp> shifhtingthe guide i linked to tell how to do this on nect reboot
[15:02] <BluesKaj> K|nG, why did you remove network/ interfaces/  ?
[15:02] <two-ten> BluesKaj, That did nothing.
[15:02] <llutz> rileyp: i asked shiftingcontrol to do "sudo touch /forcefsck"   and reboot. but that seem to have failed
[15:03] <Fudge> can i ask about mail alpine in here?
[15:03] <rileyp> llutz he ran fsck direct from a terminbal screen as root
[15:03] <two-ten> KurtKraut, the only way I see it is to recompile the source code for the program on my system.
[15:03] <rethus> how can i remove only the ubuntu-deskop (gui) ? but still keep xubuntu?
[15:03] <rileyp> on the mounted fs
[15:03] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:i did wot you had said  it shows an error -dialog box
[15:03] <rileyp> eeeek!
[15:03] <uLinux_> hm
[15:03] <nmvictor> coz_: no, no extra battery.
[15:03] <KurtKraut> two-ten, but SecondLife stuff are proprietary and closed-source software, right?
[15:03] <two-ten> KurtKraut, no, the viewers are opensource, else there couldn't be 3rd-party viewers.
[15:04] <KurtKraut> rethus, ubuntu-desktop is just a virtual package. Removing it won't make harm nor truly remove something.
[15:04] <coz_> nmvictor,  then sorry .. I dont have any other solution for you... I dont use laptops  so not much experience with them... even my clients dont have laptops
[15:04] <sipior> two-ten: you could always build the relevant version of glibc on your system.
[15:04] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: so it hasn't run fsck yet? can you continue booting, by pressing ctrl-c?
[15:04] <rileyp> shifting control does it say bad superblock
[15:04] <dsnyders> Hi All!  I have sound coming out the wazoo... well actually out of both the pc speakers and the external speakers.  How do I disable the pc speakers?  There is no option for it in System>Preferences>Sound.
[15:04] <two-ten> sipior, that would undoubtedly break my system, else the update/upgrades would have told me to upgrade my glibc to 2.11 already.
[15:05] <Fudge> dsnyders  can you lower the pc speaker volume?
[15:05] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:sorry i restarted the system to follow the tutorial in cyberciti.biz to run fsck
[15:05] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: never use fsck on mounted filesystems
[15:05] <sipior> two-ten: you can install the library in your home directory, and modify the rpath of the binary that you already have.
[15:06] <dsnyders> Fudge, I don't seem to have any independent control of the PC speaker relative to the external speakers.
[15:06] <rethus> ! remove ubuntu-desktop
[15:06] <KurtKraut> rethus, could you explain further your scenario?
[15:06] <two-ten> sipior, wut?
[15:06] <rileyp> shiftingcontrol,  you said tou ran as root from terminl fsck if you did this its bad
[15:06] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:so wot should i do now plz repeat!
[15:06] <bastidrazor> rethus: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[15:06] <sipior> two-ten: never mind, then :-)
[15:07] <two-ten> sipior, you mean the symlink from the lib folder point to the correct lib in my home folder?
[15:07] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: use a live-cd to run fsck from it
[15:07] <vishal> How to change brightness of desktop in Ubuntu 9.04
[15:07] <rethus> i have installed a normaly xubuntu... after that, i'd have a look at ubuntu-desktop... but thats not what i need... so i'd like to remove the "gnome" ubuntu-desktop and keep xfce ubuntu-desktop
[15:07] <sipior> two-ten: no, i do not.
[15:07] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:i am doing tad,i m booting 9.04 from live CD and trying fsck  command now am i ryt?
[15:07] <naples_guy> when i boot my 9.04 system, there is no wireless.  lshw -C network shows networking:DISABLED.  I go into Hardware Drivers and my broadcom driver is activated, but not in use.  Deactivated, then Reactivated and it works.  How can I set this to work automatically when booting?
[15:07] <Method_man_> how can u downlod youtube videos on ubuntu
[15:08] <bastidrazor> rethus: follow the link i just gave you.
[15:08] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: yes
[15:08] <Method_man_> any one knows how to downlod youtube videos on ubuntu
[15:08] <two-ten> sipior, yeah, then I don't know what you're referring to.
[15:08] <DrGrov> Gokväll
[15:08] <sipior> two-ten: that's why i said, "never mind" :-)
[15:08] <DrGrov> Sorry, I mean good evening
[15:08] <anodesni> Method_man_, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6584/
[15:09] <rileyp> shiftingcontrol,  try again at  touch /forcefsck and a reboot as per the link i gave you
[15:09] <KurtKraut> rethus, you may try what bastidrazor suggested to you: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[15:09] <two-ten> sipior, kay :D
[15:09] <DrGrov> How about enabling transparency in GNOME with Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[15:09] <Method_man_> and how can i install vlc and realplayer on ubuntu
[15:10] <dsnyders> rileyp, Does he have a liveCD he can fsck from?
[15:10] <rileyp> dsnyders,  IDK
[15:10] <MrWise> I connected to my ubuntu server through ftp, any idea how I find my htdocs dir or whatever my apache is having the root web dir?
[15:10] <rethus> ok, i'll try it
[15:11] <vishal> Ubuntu 10.04 not connecting to WiFi:)
[15:11] <anodesni> Method_man_, come on man, stop being lazy and at least read the manual https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual
[15:11] <bastidrazor> MrWise: /var/www/
[15:11] <MrWise> cool, thanks
[15:11] <rileyp> dsnyders,  i suppose so as he says thats what he is going to do
[15:11] <an0n> how can I figure out what version restricted driver I have?
[15:11] <anodesni> Method_man_, read page 111
[15:12] <an0n> I used the gui in 8.10
[15:12] <rileyp> shifting control to run from live cd you would

[15:12] <vishal> Ubuntu 10.04 not connecting to WiFi:), pl help
[15:12] <MrWise> is there any way to close the desktop environment for ubuntu so I'm just in terminal with my server stuff running?
[15:12] <rileyp> if sda1 is your o/s

[15:13] <marco__2> hola
[15:13] <two-ten> Aha! Found the source for the SecondLife viewer I think. Who wants to help me figure out how to compile this beast?
[15:14] <rileyp> shiftingcontrol, if you want to run fsck on your hdd from a live cd you must find out what partition your ubuntu or whaterver fs your using is located on then run fsck /dev/sdaX
[15:14] <vishal> Ubuntu 10.04 not connecting to WiFi:), pl help
[15:14] <KurtKraut> MrWise, I'm not sure but try: sudo gdm-stop
[15:14] <an0n> i have not been able to find one on the internet and 8.10 is not supported anymore, I need to find out where the hell ubuntu found it because it only finds it for 8.10

[15:15] <IMTheNachoMan> anyone know of any good docs for getting postfix to work with gmail in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[15:16] <IMTheNachoMan> everything i am finding is real old
[15:16] <anodesni> two-ten, good luck then
[15:16] <KurtKraut> two-ten, if it wasn't a 3D application, you could make a virtual machine with the scenario this crappy software need.
[15:16] <asmarin> hi
[15:16] <vishal> Nobody seems to know about Ubuntu 10.04
[15:16] <anodesni> !hi | asmarin
[15:16] <JPSman> so im having problems installing/using vloopback.  Im using 10.04.  The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source.  Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what?
 MrWise, KurtKraut : sudo stop gdm >> this doesnt make me end up in a terminal
[15:17] <MrWise> it just shows some text, and lets me free-type
[15:17] <asmarin> i have a "little" problem with a production srver since upgrade to lucid 10.04
[15:17] <an0n> AJenbo: the thing is ubuntu 8.10 will right now go and find the driver, where is it?
[15:17] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:terminal takes too long to open wen i use live CD
[15:17] <AJenbo> an0n, there old driver dosn't work with the X server in 9.04 and up.
[15:17] <asmarin> since i upgrade from hardy mysql service doesnt respond to service mysql start/stop order
[15:17] <an0n> what about bt4?
[15:17] <sipior> IMTheNachoMan: depending on how old, i should think the documentation you found should be fine. postfix configuration has changed very little for a good long while.
[15:17] <an0n> AJenbo what about bt4?
[15:17] <asmarin> so i need to control it manually with mysqld_safe and mysqladmin shutdown
[15:17] <an0n> AJenbo based in it
[15:17] <asmarin> i use my test server upgrade and goes on
[15:18] <KurtKraut> MrWise, didn't 'sudo stop gdm' let you wil a terminal, asking for your login?
[15:18] <asmarin> any help?
[15:18] <IMTheNachoMan> sipior: but i've come across 5 different ones all with different procdures, some say ca cert, some dont
[15:18] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:fsck command returned fsck 1.41.4 (27-jan-2009)
[15:18] <Halitech> MrWise, sudo service gdm stop I think
[15:18] <sipior> IMTheNachoMan: then try it out and see which one works.
[15:18] <AJenbo> an0n, what does BT4 stand for, i thought you where having issues with a ATI grafic card, sorry if i was wrong.
[15:18] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: fsck /dev/sdXY     where sdXY is your /-partition
[15:18] <Halitech> MrWise, but I think you need to be in a virtual terminal to have it work
[15:18] <MrWise> KurtKraut; I did 'sudo stop gdm', it shows some text "starting common unix printing system" "starting web server" et.c.- but it just leads me to a free-type mode, nothing I type makes any difference
[15:19] <an0n> AJenbo Backtrack-Linux 4 final
[15:19] <MrWise> it just adds lines of what I've typed
[15:19] <an0n> AJenbo it is based on 8.10
[15:19] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:sorry how to find partion
[15:19] <KurtKraut> MrWise, try pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 on that 'free-type mode'
[15:19] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: sudo fdisk -l
[15:20] <AJenbo> an0n, what was the model of your card?

[15:21] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:it shows three partions /dev/sd1,2,5 on boot * is displayed on sda1 so fsck /dev/sd1 ?
[15:21] <AJenbo> an0n, doing a bit of digging, hold on
[15:21] <creat0r> i couldnt install this packages libssh2-1-dev libssh2-php there is any way to install them ?
[15:21] <KurtKraut> dsnyders, setting the volume to zero doesn't make the effect you want?
[15:21] <an0n> AJenbo; thanks,
[15:22] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: just check sda1 and sda5 (sda2 is extended, not to be checked)
[15:22] <an0n> AJenbo; me too

[15:33] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, I have a "new" HP xw4300 workstation on which I've installed Ubuntu 9.10.  It has an internal speaker.  I've plugged in a pair of external speakers.  When I play a sound (say a music file or a movie) the sound comes out of both the PC's internal speaker and the external speakers.  The only output in the sound preferences is 'Internal Audio Analog Stereo'/

[15:35] <bvq> nm figured it out.  As per Google, had to add /usr/sbin/nologin to /etc/shells
[15:36] <KurtKraut> dsnyders, Oh, I see. Ubuntu seems to belive there is only one speaker because it is how the audio card behaving. This is an unusual situation. I recommend you trying to ask for help at ubuntuforums.org

[15:38] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: if you want to copy a folder-structure, yes
[15:38] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, That's a good clue.  Thanks.  I'll check the HP website to see if there are specific audio drivers.
[15:38] <wise_crypt> _MAV: /j #bash might help
[15:38] <jasper> Quick question about accessing certain areas of my hard drive for anyone
[15:39] <KurtKraut> dsnyders, I'm quite sure they don't provide drivers for Linux. Have you googled about it? There is probably someone that is facing the same issue you are facing.
[15:39] <overclocker> regen: i've a problem with ubuntuone, it shows a couchdb problem, ideas?

[15:41] <jasper> So everytime i try to save something to my HDD it say's i cant. . .because im not the owner. Im pretty sure i just bought it. . .
[15:42] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, I chose this machine specifically because linux was available on it from the manufacturer, so presumably they have drivers.  As for google, I haven't found anything yet.
[15:42] <KurtKraut> dsnyders, And what about ubuntuforums.org?
[15:43] <mickster04> visof: you dont need to add a file, just add the contents to i think it was 50_** or 40_*** other os's

[15:46] <J4k3r> how to open vpn at vps server ?
[15:47] <KurtKraut> dsnyders, if you find nothing that points to a solution on ubuntuforums.org, I suggest you to create a thread explaining your problem and asking for help.
[15:47] <visof> mickster04,  nothing too
[15:47] <Dr_Willis>  Hmm.. I print some things fine to my new printer.. then some times it seems to  be the system processes the print job for 20-60 min and never finishes..  Where to even start to trouble shoot that.  Its a network enabled printer. So i Think the issue is with cups on this machine.
[15:47] <KurtKraut> J4k3r, why OpenVPN at a VPS would differ from OpenVPN in a real server?
[15:47] <mickster04> visof: wll then what you've added may be wrong:/ i dunno
[15:48] <kv102t> how do I remove the secondlife?

[15:49] <kv102t> package from website.
[15:49] <Ose> I need to repair ubuntu. I have a live 10.04 CD in the tray, and i'm able to get to the terminal (but not to the login screen). can I do it from there?
[15:50] <naples_guy> i have messed up.  I tried to add a user through 'sudo adduser username'  followed by
[15:50] <naples_guy> 'sudo passwd pw'
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  what Kind of 'package' if it was a .deb - then use the ubuntu package manager to uninstall it
[15:50] <naples_guy> log out, then log in, and it says my home directory does not sseem to exist
[15:51] <Night_Elf> was it only me, or others experienced some dcc attempts with a backdoor file or something ?
[15:51] <J4k3r> KurtKraut im sure its work ;)
[15:51] <naples_guy> Your home directory is listed as '     ' but it does not appear to exist. Do you want to log in with the/root directory as your home directory? it is unlikely anything will work unless you use a failsafe session
[15:51] <kv102t> umm
[15:51] <wildman> hello there
[15:51] <kv102t> was "SecondLife-i686-2.0.1.203797.tar.bz2"
[15:52] <Raydiation> hi im experiencing a strange bug with audio: after i didnt turn on my speakers and left alone my pc for some hours the current kernel (22-generic) wont recognize my soundcard any more
[15:52] <Ose> can I repair an ubuntu partition by booting a live CD?
[15:52] <Raydiation> it works fine when booting 21-generic
[15:52] <sipior> naples_guy: have you tried creating the directory manually, and populating it with the files in /etc/skel?
[15:52] <Raydiation> is that a known issue?
[15:52] <j0rd_> rayd - i get that, in the end i reboot.
[15:52] <Raydiation> i use intel-hda audio
[15:52] <sipior> naples_guy: also, ensure that the directory owner and permissions match what you want

[15:52] <wildman> ...ideas? Thanks in advance
[15:53] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: was SecondLife-i686-2.0.1.203797.tar.bz2
[15:53] <j0rd_> rayd - i got soundblaster
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  if you extracted it to some directory ., and ran the game from that dir.. then you just delete the directory. Unless you ran some sort of Installer.
[15:53] <j0rd_> weird
[15:53] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, The HP website has alsa drivers for Fedora 3. Off to ubuntuforums...
[15:53] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: There was an installer. I have an icon in the applications menu.
[15:53] <Raydiation> btw, is there a way to blacklist a package?
[15:53] <Raydiation> i want to uninstall 22-generic and keep 21-generic
[15:54] <Raydiation> only if a newer version than 22-generic is released i want to upgrade
[15:54] <j0rd_> synaptic
[15:54] <wildbat> wildman reinstall it?
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  then perhaps the installer also works as an Uninstaller. Check the second life docs  perhaps.
[15:54] <j0rd_> sooner or later there will be another kernel update
[15:55] <wildman> wildbat: I did "reinstall" chatzilla (it's not actually 'installed', I'm using the trick to run it with xulrunner, so it's independent of Firefox)
[15:55] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: Where would something like this be installed?
[15:55] <KurtKraut> dsnyders, if it is availuable for Fedora, it is possible if is already working in your Ubuntu install.
[15:55] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: ubuntu noob here
[15:55] <wildman> wildbat: the pb seems to be with a change to goto-url-external, maybe it's gone in 10.04's gnome?
[15:55] <j0rd_> if you updated kernel in software update you can downgrade in synaptic. off the top of my head search your local/installed
[15:56] <j0rd_> mark for removal then find 21 and mark for install
[15:56] <xae8koo> Can I synch my Nokia N97 with Ubuntu?

[15:56] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, Well, the sound is "working", I just can't turn off the PC speakers by themselves.
[15:56] <j0rd_> xea - search synaptic
[15:56] <j0rd_> there are apps for that
[15:57] <gtafa> i have installed it
[15:57] <gtafa> but still doesn't work
[15:57] <qdb> hello. how wubi image works? does ubuntu installed in wubi image use special file system driver?
[15:57] <j0rd_> oups
[15:57] <j0rd_> sorry xfa
[15:57] <j0rd_> wrong person. my bad
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  no idea. re-extract the archive and rerun the installer you ran. or check the secondlife docs./homepage./forums to see how they say to uninstall it. You could  look at the icons and  see where its running from. to learn where it installed to. There Might be some uninstaller in the same dir it installed to.
[15:58] <j0rd_> oh wait was you
[15:58] <j0rd_> ye, search synaptic. theres stacks of fone synch stuff there
[15:58] <dsnyders> qdb, a wubi image is basically a linux partition stuffed into a file on the windows machine.
[15:58] <JPSman> so im having problems installing/using vloopback.  Im using 10.04.  The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source.  Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what?
[15:58] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: I'll have a look now, Thanks so far..
[15:58] <Dahmer66> Mornin
[15:59] <KurtKraut> dsnyders, there are some manufacturers that release drivers for Linux but crappy ones, without working properly. Another thing to consider is that Ubuntu changed to PulseAudio. This may lead to some regressions (stuff that worked in previous versions will stop working)
[15:59] <wildman_> anyone knows which is 10.04's equivalent to 9.1's (and previous ones too) 'goto-url-external' gnome command? (sorry got disconnected)
[15:59] <jasper> Can anyone tell me how to change the ownership of my  hard drive so i can actually save stuff to it T.T
[15:59] <j0rd_> dahmer, evenin
[15:59] <KurtKraut> dsnyders, the best thing you can do at the moment is request for help at Ubuntuforums.org
[15:59] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, Working on that even as we speak.
[15:59] <qdb> dsnyders, is it unfragmented file? why then it said in site that it works slower? why?

[16:01] <jasper> i have ext4 and swap

[16:03] <dsnyders> qdb, I really don't know too much about it.  I only tried it once.   However, if the wubi file is fragmented I can see how it could slow down linux running within it.
[16:03] <j0rd_> gparted dont play nice w/ ntfs
[16:03] <JPSman> so im having problems installing/using vloopback.  Im using 10.04.  The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source.  Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what?
[16:03] <llutz> jasper: 2 x swap? why?
[16:03] <jasper> says missing operand
[16:03] <llutz> jasper: man chmod, man chown
[16:03] <pk__> Volme size is bigger than device size.. Now i am unable touse partition help
[16:03] <Jimmymaniac> Dahmer66: if i'm not mistaken, there's ways to make Win7 recover/regenerate the MBR. In old times the command "fdisk /MBR" on a dos commandline was enough, dunno now.
[16:04] <jasper> oh big menu now haha.
[16:04] <pk__> I tried to shrink my extendd ntfs partition usin gparted..but error occured:
[16:04] <BluesKaj> Dahmer66, reformat the reased ubuntu partition
[16:04] <BluesKaj> erased
[16:04] <j0rd_> you just said that pk
[16:04] <pk__> Sory my client
[16:04] <j0rd_> my bad
[16:05] <visof> i added menuentry of freebsd to 40_* at /etc/grub.d/ and then update-grub with no referring to there is something add for freebsd
[16:05] <visof> is there something i lose ?
[16:05] <jatt> hi, the clock applet freezes in lucid. Is this a known issue?
[16:05] <visof> something should i add ?
[16:05] <ellayo> hola?
[16:05] <pk__> I need help repairing that
[16:05] <uLinux> hello
[16:05] <kv102t> If i just delete the files, how can I delete the application icon in the menu?
[16:05] <j0rd_> menu editor
[16:05] <ellayo> hola uLinux
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  totally depends on how/where it isntalled to. if it installed to some place in your HOME dir. you can just delte the stuff
[16:05] <jatt> it's 17:05 now but the clock applet says it's 11:54
[16:06] <scunizi> kv102t: right mouse click "delete"
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  you can use 'alacarte' to edit yoyur menus
[16:06] <ellayo> alguien habla español?
[16:06] <j0rd_> then kill clock app and readd it
[16:06] <jatt> !es
[16:06] <JPSman> so im having problems installing/using vloopback.  Im using 10.04.  The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source.  Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what?
[16:06] <j0rd_> if that dont work, keeps freezin then check bug tracker
[16:06] <qdb> dsnyders, so, even it can be fragmented, i also read about that, so it is not just a partition in windows partition, it needs some driver. .... now i think i know how to find about that, that technolgy name is said in wubi site.
[16:06] <j0rd_> if its not there report it
[16:06] <jasper> llutz, i found the commands here, but im kinda of new to how i would go about the actual drive changing
[16:06] <ellayo> gracias ubottu
[16:06] <visof> isn't there anyone here can help me please ?
[16:06] <wildman> ellayo: sí, pero ya te contestaron ;)
[16:06] <jatt> j0rd_: yes I can do that, but this is a strange behaviour, it didn't happen with older versions
[16:06] <llutz> jasper: where is the drive mounted to?
[16:06] <ellayo> gracias a ti tb, wildman
[16:06] <under> HI i've to listen this radio http://www.elleradio.it/ascolta.php?op=wmp but i cant see the streaming player.. why?
[16:07] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: /home/kyle/.secondlife-install is the location of all the files. and the installer said thats where it was going to install
[16:07] <jasper> checking
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> under:  well with the op=wmp - i would guess the site is targeting windows media player
[16:07] <Boohemian> how do i accept a file through skype on linux?? i have ubuntu 10.4
[16:07] <wildman> ellayo: de nada, good luck!
[16:07] <j0rd_> jatt if it only happens once, its deep magik. repeatedly its a bug, in which case you need to check if its bin reported. my buntu neetbook has had no issues w/ uptim ov bout month
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  delete it then.  the installer might also have an uninstall option.
[16:07] <jasper> honestly no idea, its all usb.
[16:07] <ellayo> ;) wildman
[16:07] <under> Dr_Willis, yes but my friend can listen it with ubuntu
[16:08] <jatt> j0rd_: it happens repeadetly on two different laptops I have. Will check the bug database
[16:08] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: i have opened the script, it has no code that looks like an uninstall
[16:08] <j0rd_> !jatt, thats strange
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> under:  he must have some extra plugins enabled on his system
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  delete the dir then and be done with it
[16:08] <jatt> j0rd_: indeed
[16:08] <jasper> is there anyway to just "unlock it" so anyone can save on it man?
[16:08] <jasper> lol
[16:08] <dsnyders> qdb, any file system can get fragmented, whether it is a partition directly on the hard drive, or an image of a partition on a filesystem.
[16:08] <jatt> clock
[16:09] <j0rd_> jatt how do you target msg @ user. i forgot and its frigin noyin
[16:09] <qdb> mm you mean that
[16:09] <two-ten> Why am I getting a "permission denied" when I'm trying to run an install.py file?
[16:09] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: OK, and use the other app to remove the icon.
[16:09] <jatt>  /msg
[16:09] <qdb> i cannot find yet about that technology
[16:09] <qdb> dsnyders, ^^
[16:09] <j0rd_> two-ten
[16:09] <ellayo> byeee
[16:09] <j0rd_> go as sudo
[16:09] <two-ten> j0rd, okay.
[16:09] <Boohemian> how do i accept a file through skype on linux?? i have ubuntu 10.4
[16:09] <wildman> two-ten: because that installer is trying to write in a folder you don't have access to
[16:09] <j0rd_> you just asked that
[16:10] <HowardTheDuck> hey
[16:10] <Ose> what's the terminal command to see the name of the partition ubuntu is on?
[16:10] <qdb> i want to know whether image file can be fragmented, dsnyders
[16:10] <qdb> not contents of it
[16:10] <j0rd_> any file can frag
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> Ose: try 'mount'  to see partitions
[16:10] <j0rd_> end of
[16:10] <llutz> Ose: df /
[16:10] <HowardTheDuck> which is better a p4 dual core or amd sempron?
[16:10] <ravimaddula> hi i installed a ubuntu netmix in my compaq mini  it works well but problem with my sip protocol
[16:10] <pepsi> neither
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> qdb:  i would say - yes it can. a image of a hard drive parittion couldbe fragmented
[16:10] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: umm, terminal command for delete DIR ? lol
[16:10] <HowardTheDuck> pepsi: ?
[16:11] <under> Dr_Willis, he uses ubuntu, I'm using lubuntu
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  you could use the file manager if you wanted
[16:11] <dsnyders> qdb, like I said, any file or filesystem can become fragmented.
[16:11] <two-ten> wildman, it's a folder I made myself with non-root made files in it.
[16:11] <j0rd_> rm -rf/path-to-file
[16:11] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: but folder is hidden from view
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> under:  shouldent matter. you just need to install the proper codec pack/browser plugin that hes using
[16:11] <j0rd_> *rm -rf /path-to-file
[16:11] <qdb> dsnyders, may be, image file somehow be denied to be fragmented
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> !manual | kv102t
[16:11] <wildman> two-ten: but the installer may be trying to write on other folders too...
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  time tolearn to use the file manager. and the 'show hidden files menu item'
[16:11] <under> Dr_Willis, tell me, can you see the player?
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> under:  what was the url again?
[16:12] <wildman> two-ten: or to modify some config file, or... you get the idea ;) usually one install things as root, with sudo command_to_install
[16:12] <ravimaddula> i cant access my voip through sip
[16:12] <Onlooker-2> help
[16:12] <under> Dr_Willis, http://www.elleradio.it/ascolta.php?op=wmp
[16:12] <qdb> dsnyders, so windows do not allow to fragment it, and it is not installed ad all if there is not enough continuous unfragmented space
[16:12] <qdb> i meant that
[16:12] <dsnyders> qdb, that's a windows question.  Again, I've only tried wubi once.  I have now idea about tuning it.
[16:12] <visof> please anyone help me
[16:12] <[WHACKOS5]kingha> llutz:system out SQUASHFS error
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> under:  it works here
[16:12] <visof> i added menuentry of freebsd to 40_* at /etc/grub.d/ and then update-grub with no referring to there is something add for freebsd
[16:12] <under> Dr_Willis, wich player?
[16:13] <two-ten> wildman, maybe you can help me out, I'm following this, and it's not working: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SNOW-505
[16:13] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: OH Yeh
[16:14] <scunizi> dsnyders: don't even attempt to tune wubi.. if you need more performance then run ubuntu in virtualbox inside your current OS or setup a dual boot
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> under:  its playing in the default totem player
[16:14] <qdb> dsnyders, i think it is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device
[16:14] <under> Dr_Willis, can I install it?
[16:14] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, I ran a program called alsamixer.  It gave me a textUI, which had a separate control for the PC speaker.  I've now got it muted without muting the externals.
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> who needs a browser --->   totem  mmsh://65.19.129.26/nuovaspazioradio?MSWMExt=.asf
[16:14] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:SQUASHFS error
[16:15] <jatt> hm this clock applet is crazy
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> under:  its in the package manager.. so .. YES you Could install totem.. and  all sorts of other stuff.
[16:15] <Guest86401> hi, I cannot send email to Gmail via thunderbird 3.0.4
[16:15] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, P.S.  I found the solution on ubuntuforums.org, as you suggested.
[16:15] <jatt> Now I activated the option to show seconds and is jumping 2 seconds
[16:15] <jatt> and sometimes 1 second
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> under:  vlc mmsh://65.19.129.26/nuovaspazioradio?MSWMExt=.asf
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> under:  also works here
[16:15] <jatt> 5:15:40->5:15:42
[16:15] <ravimaddula> ca anyone tell me how to configure sip in empany
[16:15] <KurtKraut> dsnyders, is there someone already saying this works on this thread? If there isn't, it is important to you to add a comment stating the procedure works.
[16:16] <jasper> ok so i'v come to conclude this is impossible
[16:16] <under> Dr_Willis, nice, thanks.
[16:16] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, The thread is two years old.
[16:16] <scunizi> ravimaddula: are you connecting to a true sip server like an IP-PBX or a sip trunk?
[16:16] <under> where do you find that url? Dr_Willis
[16:16] <drdozer> I'm about to do some hardware hacking on a keyboard
[16:16] <qdb> thank you
[16:17] <ravimaddula> just sip protocoll
[16:17] <drdozer> is there a utility that will print out key codes when I press keys?
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> under:   i told it 'copy' the url in the browser/icon/player had a menu item.
[16:17] <llutz> Dr_Willis: xev
[16:17] <ravimaddula> want to setup an acct in sip
[16:17] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: Thank you, I seem to be all sorted.  Thank YOU !!
[16:17] <llutz> drdozer: ^ sry
[16:17] <two-ten> Damn, I'm totally stuck on this coroutine boost stuff...
[16:17] <ravimaddula> for freecall
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> under:  thats.. an err.. annoying radio station. :) of course i cant understand what they are saying.
[16:17] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: And i now have the manual, Hope it helps me just as much as you did.
[16:17] <under> Dr_Willis, is italian :D
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> under:  and its LOUD talking italian :)
[16:18] <scunizi> ravimaddula: choose Chat accounts.. Add.. then sip
[16:18] <ravimaddula> i have a freecall acct and i want it in my empathy as a whole
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> under:  check out the 'adobe air' appication called 'antenna' if you like radio :)
[16:18] <under> ok thanks.
[16:18] <dsnyders> KurtKraut, There are various posts up until yesterday.  Some say it works.  Some say it doesn't.
[16:18] <ravimaddula> yes i tried but not connecting
[16:18] <wildman> two-ten: not that expert... what are you basically trying to do?
[16:19] <ravimaddula> also i installed tlepathy sofia
[16:19] <Dr_Willis> under:  http://bcdef.org/antenna/
[16:19] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, w32codec should work with windows media streams , right ?
[16:19] <ravimaddula> nothing happened
[16:19] <Dr_Willis> BluesKaj:  i always have it installed. :) so  it should.. but it was using totem as a player. so im not sure what all extra packages that uses.
[16:19] <two-ten> wildman, I am trying to compile a sourcecode that needs nonfree libs, in this case the coroutine-boost library. And I'm trying to follow the instructions from that webpage, but I just get stuck at not being able to start the install.py thing.
[16:20] <BluesKaj> ok Dr_Willis , thanks
[16:20] <wildman> two-ten: I didn't read the whole thing in the page, no time for that, sorry...
[16:20] <two-ten> wildman, no worries :>
[16:20] <SuperLag> back
[16:20] <wildman> two-ten: and again, 'install' operations are usually to be done as root, with sudo
[16:20] <two-ten> Yeah, doesn't work.
[16:21] <wildman> ouch, then the pb is somewhere else :)
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> under:  so far every player ive tried.. has worked with that url. from teh command line.. mplayer, vlc, totem -->   mplayer  mplayer  mmsh://65.19.129.26/nuovaspazioradio?MSWMExt=.asf
[16:21] <jasper> So anyone that has a minute or two to help me figure this out pm me?
[16:22] <under> i'm using vlc
[16:22] <two-ten> j0rd, even when I'm logged in as su and do "scripts/install.py boost" it says "permission denied".
[16:22] <two-ten> I have read write perms on it all.
[16:22] <kevin009> how can i downgrade nvidia drivers in lucid? the 195.xx drivers cause a game to crash on launch, and the 173 drivers are buggy
[16:23] <kevin009> the 173 drivers do run the game though. so i want something like 190 or 185
[16:23] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  there was no need to run that installer for that game. :) it can run without installing from the directory you extracted the archive to.
[16:24] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: Is it always wise to try and run an app before going through the install
[16:25] <tobiasz> how do I disable screen blanking?
[16:25] <eric_> ?
[16:26] <eric_> how is ubuntu?
[16:26] <llutz> tobiasz: xset -dpms
[16:26] <ravimaddula> cant able to receive calls in gtalk (jabber)
[16:26] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  it dosent NEED to install. it can run from the dir you put it in. all the install did basically was copy it to  that .whatever dir then made an icon.
[16:27] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: I understand that. I mean other apps. In the name of keeping things clean, do most appz work without install.
[16:27] <overclocker> i've got this triying to use ubuntuone "RuntimeError: Couchdb PID16711 exited.  Permissions? " any ideas?
[16:27] <vect> Couchdb?
[16:28] <tobiasz> llutz just this command in terminal?
[16:28] <tobiasz> llutz without sudo?
[16:28] <kevin009> nevermind. problem solved
[16:28] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  ttotally depends on the app
[16:29] <IMTheNachoMan> why would the following packages be kept back? "linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae"
[16:29] <charles_work> since switching to lucid, i've been getting seemingly random "input/output" errors. what log file should i check to narrow down the cause? i've already scanned my memory and it's clean
[16:30] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: As with windows, everything gets messy. Quick..  is ubuntu better t not causing this issue.
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  depends oon what you do,  There was no need for you to download that tar.gz either. It seems that second life is also avail in  some unofficial repositories. That would of been a cleaner way to install it.
[16:31] <happyface> what font does gnome-terminal use by default?
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  i rarely find that i need to use 'tar.gz' binary pakcages for things. Most everythigbn  has been packaged by someone to a proper repository
[16:32] <coz_> happosade,  monospace 12
[16:32] <dewente> i have dual OS installed, I want my michine start straight from the Windows partion, how can i do that?
[16:32] <coz_> happosade,  sorry
[16:33] <coz_> happyface,   monospace 12
[16:33] <happyface> thanks coz_
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> dewente:  clarify. Youmean you want to 'boot' straight to windows by default from the grub menu?
[16:33] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: is there a list of good repositorys to add?
[16:33] <dewente> yes Dr_Willis
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  it all depends on whatyou need. dont add them just to be adding things.
[16:33] <greezmunkey> charles_work: where do you see these errors?
[16:33] <arunkumar413> i need a package to upload my images to picassa and get the url of the image
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> dewente:  the 'startupmanager' program gives you a gui to select the default grub item. Or theres other ways to select the default
[16:34] <dewente> i want to do it throgut the Terminal
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  other then medibuntu, theres proberly not many you should be using.
[16:35] <dewente> I know I have to edit a file, but I don't remember which
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> dewente:  check out the grub2 docs/factoids/wiki page and forum posts i recall seeing it covered there.. but i just use the gui tool
[16:35] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: at the moment it's all still new. i'll take it slow and learn some stuff about ubuntu first
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  #1 thing to do is read that ubuntu manual.
[16:36] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: I managed to add that one last night when I was looking at backuping up DVD's to AVI.  got stuck (handbrake no longer does AVI) and i can't find any other software as good.
[16:36] <charles_work> greezmunkey, they show up when i try to execute a command. eg: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[16:36] <charles_work> [sudo] password for charles:
[16:36] <charles_work> sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/aptitude: Input/output error
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  i dont see any need to do 'avi' any more. :)
[16:36] <dewente> /etc/grub.conf
[16:36] <dewente> that's all
[16:36] <charles_work> currently running processes, don't seem to die, but i can't start new ones
[16:36] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: PS3
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  avi is just a container.  so the term dosent mean a lot.  I use handbrake to backup things - it works rather well.
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  its all about the codec of the data in the container.
[16:38] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: I see. But the format of MKV does not work on PS3 and whats good about the other format on HB?
[16:38] <ninjai> does anyone know how to update clamav from the command line?
[16:38] <coolguy4> Hello, I'm trying to setup ubuntu to receive syslog messages from my router. I have setup my router with the IP address of my ubuntu machine. I have modified /etc/default/syslogd to use the -r flag. After restarting syslog though, I try netstat -an |grep 514 and I see no listing
[16:39] <greezmunkey> charles_work: try this: dpkg --clean-avail - and then apt-get update (both as sudo, of course)
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  mkv is also a container i recall. not a codec.  You perhaps could of just renamed ot to be whatever.avi IF the codec was proper for the ps3
[16:39] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: and M4V ??
[16:39] <Phillip_> yo
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  its all about the 'codecs' not just the file extension
[16:39] <magik_> m00se: are you still here?
[16:40] <charles_work> greezmunkey, it gives the i/o error again:  sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/dpkg: Input/output error
[16:40] <dforthman> hi. could someone answer a question for me?
[16:41] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: but they all have filesize and Quality changes..
[16:41] <greezmunkey> charles_work: try reversing the order of those.
[16:41] <geirha> charles_work: What about dmesg?
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  'codecs' have   diffrent pros/cons  yes
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  once you start reading about all the differnt video codecs and how the interrelate.. it gets... interesting
[16:42] <dforthman> I just installed Ubuntu 10 and it's not recognizing my iMicro 150M wireless adapter. There's no linux drivers on the iMicro website. Is there any way to make it work?
[16:42] <charles_work> greezmunkey, it happens with just about any command. happened in reverse order as well
[16:42] <charles_work> geirha, ill pm you, if that's okay. i can't get to pastebin, as chrome crashes on loading new pages
[16:42] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: Think I might have to read up on that as well.  You know of any good reading on the subject?
[16:42] <ravimaddula> hi iam unable to handel video calls frm my empathy im
[16:42] <charles_work> there are i/o errors showing in dmesg
[16:43] <geirha> charles_work: sure :)
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> kv102t:  start with the wikipedia pages on video codecs
[16:43] <mike233yo718> hello
[16:43] <nsintux> dforthman, try ndiswrapper with the windows driver
[16:43] <mohmed> tanfoust1973
[16:43] <dforthman> ok i'll give that a try.
[16:43] <mohmed> cle ub
[16:44] <ravimaddula> video call is not working in empathy
[16:44] <kv102t> Dr_Willis: Well thank you DR Willis...
[16:44] <HeTaL> My laptop automatically suspends when I unplug it. When I edited the /etc/acpi/power.sh and commented out the last line, the "on battery" script stops to execute, and it stops suspending, but it also stops running other stuff. That means that the power script is doing this. Ideas on how to make it work?
[16:44] <mike233yo718> i have an ubuntu 10 installation, on a intel p4 2.6GHz, 512 ram (it's an older hp desktop computer), and it's working incredibly slow. for any operation i want to do, it uses my cpu up to maximum, and my hdd is working very much
[16:44] <mike233yo718> what could be the problem?
[16:44] <dforthman> nsintus, should I use the XP or Vista driver? or does it matter?
[16:45] <mike233yo718> i had an old p3 1.0GHz, 512 sdram (the hp has ddr) and it worked far better with sidux
[16:45] <HardDisk> !ask
[16:45] <coolguy4> is it possible to send some data to a port just to check that that port is open and sending messages to syslog? Alternatively, can I listen to the raw data coming through on a particular port, to confirm that the router is sending data to that port?
[16:45] <HeTaL> mike233yo718: run top
[16:45] <llutz> coolguy4: use netcat
[16:45] <HeTaL> and check what is consuming your CPU
[16:45] <scunizi> mike233yo718: you could open a terminal and type "top" or if you already have the system monitor appelate on one of the deskbars then click that and you'll get a list of processes that are eating your cpu
[16:46] <mike233yo718> i'm watching the system monitor, but cannot understand what's really happening
[16:46] <mohmed> drissa
[16:46] <scunizi> mike233yo718: click it and it will open a new window with tabs at the top..
[16:46] <mike233yo718> i use the same programs i did on sidux (geany, firefox, meld), nothing unusual really
[16:46] <ravimaddula> i had a small doubt regarding intel atom nz7 processor its running slow with my minipc
[16:47] <ninjai> Does anyone know how to update ClamAV manually from the command line?
[16:47] <xfact> Hello everyone
[16:47] <xfact> I want to know: Is there any good alternative of Adobe Flash player in Ubuntu?
[16:48] <xfact> Please suggest :)
[16:48] <happyface> anyone know how to fix UTF8 ssh viewing from ubuntu to putty?
[16:48] <coolguy4> llutz: thanks. I did sudo nc -lu p 514 and I saw nothing. So this should mean that the router is not actually sending data
[16:49] <xfact> Is there any good alternative of Adobe Flash exists in Ubuntu
[16:49] <xfact> ?
[16:49] <dezza_k> hi, having a little trouble installing ubuntu. I'm installing off the network. It all goes fine and downloads the installer from the server, then gets to configuring the network and it says that no network interfaces were found. Any ideas?
[16:49] <ninjai> there are alternatives
[16:49] <llutz> happyface: set "translation" to utf8 in putty
[16:49] <ravimaddula> icant handel video calls in my netmix ubuntu

[16:49] <HeTaL> Is it kosher to repeat my question if no one answered it in moderation? o.o
[16:49] <happyface> llutz: I still see lots of jibberish characters, I've even tried a few fonts
[16:50] <ravimaddula> as i suppose to use gtalk frequently
[16:50] <ravimaddula> does any one tell me how to configure google talk
[16:50] <mike233yo718> this is really unexplainable. i'm watching the processes bar, while refreshing a local php webpage. as it takes almost 20 seconds, locking my mouse killink my hdd, the most used process is system monitor, no more tha 29% cpu,
[16:50] <Faithful> My 10.04 has corrupted / partition, I need a lightweight rescue disk that supports sata disk I can boot from a USB stick to run fsck
[16:50] <scunizi> HeTaL: every 5 minutes or so....
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> Faithful:  most can do that.. tinycore linux is only 10mb :) its handy

[16:51] <HeTaL> Well, here goes nothing.

When I edited the /etc/acpi/power.sh and commented out the last line, the "on battery" script stops to execute, and it stops suspending, but it also stops running other stuff. That means that the power script is doing this. Ideas on how to make it work?
[16:51] <mike233yo718> but if i switch to the resources panel, sometimes the cpu graph goes to 100%. But i have 2.6GHz intel CPU. what could be wrong?
[16:51] <Faithful> I tried damn small linux but no sata support
[16:52] <liminal> how do i check if a mysql database is running from the command line?

[16:52] <Arimil> so... really fucked up problem i'm having

[16:52] <mickster04> ravimaddula: patienve, you've only just asked a question
[16:52] <scunizi> mike233yo718:  when looking at the list of processes.. click the "view" menu button and see if it's showing only your processes or everything or the system only.. change it to "all"
[16:52] <Arimil> dmesg = a million I/O errors
[16:52] <mickster04> !ohmy | Arimil
[16:53] <xomp_> umm.. php.ini used to be in /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini in ubuntu 8, I'm now using ubuntu 10 and I can't seem to find php.ini anywhere after installing PHP5.. any ideas?

[16:56] <xomp_> umm -bash: locate: command not found
[16:56] <coolguy4> llutz: I did netcat again and I saw some data going through. So this means my router is doing its job. Does this also prove that my firewall i allowing the data through?
[16:56] <HeTaL> Faithful: I think puppylinux supports SATA

[16:57] <Ose> blargh
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> Faithful:  id be suprised that there are any that dont support sata. of course 'DSL' is not being updated like it used to.

[17:02] <sprung> xomp_, now do a sudo updatedb so the contents of your filesystem are indexed.
[17:02] <badp> That is, http://code.google.com/webfonts does not display a different font per row
[17:02] <sprung> xomp_, you need to do that the first time you install it
[17:02] <bastidrazor> !crunchbang | doodledoo

[17:09] <sprung> wise_crypt, is there a list of these !commands
[17:09] <Jordan_U> UT8F: It really depends on the bug (how easy it is to fix, which developers are available to look into it, how many people are affected, whether the change is so major that it needs to wait for the next Ubuntu release).
[17:09] <Phillip> !commands
[17:10] <dsnyders> kv102t, you have to set up an ssh server on your ubuntu machine.  I don't know the details, though.
[17:10] <HandyGandy> queso: They should never be used at all since you should be u8sing zsh.

[17:13] <eeeris> sprung..im sorry
[17:13] <sprung> Bigshot, That's because you didn't ask about your TV Tuner card. You only asked why are some options missing. You can't be helped if you don't say what you want. hang on a moment

[17:37] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:it says error loading upate-notiicer

[17:40] <Anarhist> Lcawte|SHaR, check that nothing is muted, it happens on laptops when you boot on battery power for example
[17:40] <ashael> philw: already did, no avail
[17:40] <Lcawte|SHaR> Anarhist: nothing muted..
[17:40] <shiftingcontrol> ashael:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto i think this can help u out
[17:41] <philw> ashael: tried "sudo aptitude update" from command line?
[17:42] <tar-> philw: is there a difference between sudo aptitude and sudo apt-get?
[17:42] <ashael> philw: will now
[17:42] <colorlessprism> i have to manually run the update manager, it does not auto-notify of new updates
[17:42] <Anarhist> Lcawte|SHaR, try this in your terminal: "sudo cat /dev/mem > /dev/audio" you should hear screeching sound (Press Ctrl+C to make it stop) let me know if you hear nothing
[17:42] <wifinotworking> my wireless card (compaq w200) worked fine in windows xp, and now won't even be recognized in lshw, how do i let it see the wireless card (i even tried installing the windows driver for it in linux and it says its not there). i tried fn+f2 to on and off it and there were no bios options to turn it on?
[17:42] <shikhark> is it possible to do a fresh install of ubuntu, without having to back up data on a seperate volume?
[17:43] <philw> tar-: not a huge one, I believe
[17:43] <Halitech> tar-, just different front ends to dpkg ( I think)
[17:43] <Night_Elf> tar-: not much. Aptitude is recomended as it's newer and has some auto-clean features. Use aptitude if you're in doubt.
[17:43] <dzan> hi, i've got a minimal ubuntu 10.04 install ( with minimal iso ) so there is no windowmanager or X ( there is an x server now but without it it made no difference ) and I can only boot with the "nomodeset" option due to my Geforece 6800ultra anyone knows howcome? ( i booted and downloaded&installed the nvidia drivers and ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that didn't solve it )
[17:43] <bullgard> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=sagemath&mode=exactfilename&suite=lucid&arch=any: "You have searched for files named sagemath in suite lucid, all sections, and all architectures.

[17:44] <avi_> Anyone reccomend a good nice looking RSS reader?
[17:44] <shikhark> wifinotworking, yeah, but i dont want to move to another partition either
[17:44] <Lcawte|SHaR> Anarhist: I get a device is too busy error
[17:44] <shikhark> Anarhist, sure?
[17:44] <ohir> CAPcap: either using . scriptname
[17:44] <Night_Elf> CAPcap: You make that file executable by  chmod u+x filename.here
[17:44] <Halitech> shikhark, back up anyway, better safe then sorry
[17:44] <Anarhist> CAPcap, in terminal do "chmod +x file.sh" where file.sh is what you want to execute
[17:44] <shiftingcontrol> CAPcap:you should probably use shell comands.sh
[17:44] <Anarhist> shikhark, i'm not 100% sure
[17:44] <Anarhist> shikhark, *not*
[17:45] <llutz> CAPcap: "chmod +x file && ./file" or just "sh file"
[17:45] <tar-> philw, Night_Elf, Halitech: thx guys :)
[17:45] <erUSUL> CAPcap: put #!/bin/bash as the first line and make it executable
[17:45] <colorlessprism> my update manager does not notify me of new updates, i have to open the manager to know if i have new updates
[17:45] <shikhark> Halitech, you're right, but I want to know if its possible
[17:45] <shikhark> Anarhist, no problem :)
[17:45] <ohir> CAPcap: or calling /bin/bash scriptname
[17:45] <onetinsoldier> erUSUL: ahh, you beat me
[17:45] <Night_Elf> CAPcap: also, you have to remember that the first line in these files    HAS TO BE:    #!/bin/bash

[17:45] <Halitech> shikhark, yes its possible, I believe you have to do a manual partitioning and uncheck where it says format the /home partition
[17:45] <shuki> Hello. maybe someone knows how to install and configure vino to a remote server through ssh?

[17:46] <peturi_> Hi! For some reason my GNOME bookmarks were all transfered into "Places->Bookmarks->*" ... how can i revert the changes? (I would like them to appear at the top of the list once i click Places)
[17:46] <itheos> hi
[17:46] <ohir> CAPcap: later examples of running script needs executable permission
[17:46] <Halitech> shikhark, you don't
[17:46] <Anarhist> Lcawte, i'd probably just try a reboot, something is probably using your audio, but has crashed
[17:46] <llutz> shiftingcontrol: pleasee don't suggest chmod 777 if it isn't needed
[17:46] <Anarhist> Lcawte, unless you can track it down and kill -9 it
[17:46] <Lcawte> ah k
[17:46] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:ok
[17:46] <Phillip> hey
[17:46] <shikhark> Halitech, ahhh...mainly that was what i wanted, i'm okay with backing up data, but not reinstalling all packages
[17:46] <CAPcap> thanks all of you. it also contains a command that has to be run as root, obviously it prompts me for my password. is there a way to make it automatically enter it/bypass the need?
[17:47] <onetinsoldier> shikhark: do you mean the package list? or you mean the actual .deb files?
[17:47] <Night_Elf> yea. mode 777 is "A bad thing (TM)"
[17:47] <wifinotworking> Ose: download a live gparted from sourceforge.net
[17:47] <shiftingcontrol> j4k3r:u der?
[17:47] <ohir> Night_Elf: no. shebang line is not always needed.
[17:47] <Lcawte> Ose: tried GParted?
[17:47] <shikhark> onetinsoldier, i want the packages installed in the fresh ubuntu install
[17:47] <Anarhist> can somebody help me with my problem please, I've added another command to 'Open with' menu of an extension, however it's displayed only by its command name, i would like to change it to what it's really called, how do i do that?
[17:47] <Phillip> Hey, I am wondering how i can install Backtrack linux dual boot from windows. Is there some sort of installer like there is from ubuntu?
[17:47] <erUSUL> !backtrack | Phillip
[17:47] <itheos> i copied the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives to my new installation, as i was told here. the problem is apt isnt using those packages to install :( how to tell it to pick up those packages?
[17:48] <onetinsoldier> shikhark: are you wanting to save the actual .deb files? perhaps aptoncd is what you want
[17:48] <Phillip> Does anyone know the backtrack irc!?!?!
[17:48] <ohir> CAPcap: I advise you do not run script that ask for root permissions if you cannot know what it will do to your system
[17:48] <wifinotworking> Phillip: i believe you can download grub2 and install that as a boot manager (or lilo)
[17:48] <Halitech> shikhark, I believe in synaptic you can mark all installed packages as a text file and then use that to reinstall
[17:48] <colorlessprism> shikhark, look into "remastersys"
[17:48] <dzan> hi, i've got a minimal ubuntu 10.04 install ( with minimal iso ) so there is no windowmanager or X ( there is an x server now but without it it made no difference ) and I can only boot with the "nomodeset" option due to my Geforece 6800ultra anyone knows howcome? ( i booted and downloaded&installed the nvidia drivers and ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that didn't solve it )
[17:48] <llutz> Phillip: you just were told, see ubottu
[17:48] <shikhark> onetinsoldier, Halitech, thanks!
[17:48] <ohir> CAPcap: use only your distro or reputable vendors packages
[17:48] <CAPcap> all im doing is activating my wacom bamboo
[17:49] <wifinotworking> my wireless card (compaq w200) worked fine in windows xp, and now won't even be recognized in lshw, how do i let it see the wireless card (i even tried installing the windows driver for it in linux and it says its not there). i tried fn+f2 to on and off it and there were no bios options to turn it on?
[17:49] <shiftingcontrol> Philip:download the .iso file and open the iso file and click on install.sh file and you will get a systematic step similar to ubuntu installation before that go to backtaract site and check how to "dual boot"
[17:49] <onetinsoldier> shikhark: ok, roger. i'll still have ubottu show you the factoid
[17:49] <dforthman> Hi. Still having the problem with the wireless adapter. It's installed with ndiswrapper and shows up in ndiswrapper -l, but there's no "Wireless Networks" in the networking drop down
[17:49] <onetinsoldier> !aptoncd > shikhark
[17:49] <CAPcap> it needs to be reactivated every time i reboot and the only way i can make it find it (that i have found) is sudo modprobe wacom
[17:49] <ohir> CAPcap: if script is fromm wacom it fulfills 'reputable vendor' rule :)
[17:49] <ahmed> hi
[17:49] <llutz> CAPcap: add "wacom" to /etc/modules
[17:49] <Guest91567> anyone can tell me how can i get this package
[17:49] <shikhark> onetinsoldier, nice! thanks again :)

[17:50] <llutz> CAPcap: sudo nano /etc/modules

[17:50] <ohir> CAPcap: add wacom to your /etc/modules
[17:50] <llutz> CAPcap: just enter one line: wacom

[17:50] <Guest91567> XFree86-Mesa-libGL and XFree86-libs
[17:50] <onetinsoldier> shikhark: you're welcome. you can also save the package list with an aptitude command usually used for cloning
[17:50] <onetinsoldier> !clone
[17:50] <ohir> CAPcap: sudo echo wacom >> /etc/modules
[17:50] <llutz> ohir: won't work
[17:50] <lxlv01> hello, i have set up a jabber account at jabber.org and created it in empathy but can i add a couple of msn contacts to it?anyone knows how this is done?
[17:51] <zhouboy> my god .all englisn,,i don't know
[17:51] <ohir> llutz: why?
[17:51] <llutz> ohir: redirection + sudo cannot work, use tee
[17:51] <toughengineer> hey
[17:51] <fcomtois> I just dont understand why Empathy is acting so weird with msn
[17:51] <wifinotworking> !cn | zhouboy
[17:51] <toughengineer> how can i get these packages XFree86-Mesa-libGL and XFree86-libs
[17:51] <toughengineer> ?
[17:51] <CAPcap> llutz: how do i save it? i dont see a command for that
[17:51] <llutz> CAPcap: ctrl-x    i guess
[17:51] <itheos> onetinsoldier, i have the same problem as shikhark i suppose. i have the packages list and i have the packages too. how to install those offline stored packages with the packages list without using internet?
[17:52] <toughengineer> hello
[17:52] <llutz> ohir: basically the "sudo" issued with your command ends at ">" and won't afffect the part after it
[17:52] <toughengineer> anyone
[17:52] <wifinotworking> !ask | toughengineer
[17:52] <CAPcap> thanks llutz, im going to reboot and see if it works
[17:52] <ohir> llutz: we certainly use very different unices then
[17:52] <zhouboy> OK
[17:52] <starghost> Hey - I'm using the latest Ubuntu on a virtual box and everything is working great - I'm trying to access my Ubuntu One preferences to turn Sync on. I click where it says my name on top and then Ubuntu One... go to my account, but there's no option to sync. I followed all the directions in the Ubuntu FAQ. What should I do to enable the Ubuntu One Syncing?
[17:53] <toughengineer> how can i get these packages or the reposites of it XFree86-Mesa-libGL and XFree86-libs ?????/
[17:53] <wise_crypt> onetinsoldier:  where can i get ubuntu-ultimate edition for lucid
[17:53] <ohir> llutz: do excersise :)
[17:53] <JoeSomebody> See also !automate?
[17:53] <JoeSomebody> where at?
[17:53] <shiftingcontrol> llutz:i feel like copy entire hard disk content and reinstalling the os!is there any other alternative ?
[17:53] <itheos> any help?
[17:53] <onetinsoldier> itheos: good question. i've never done that. i've always just used the cloning method used above and have it download again of the net. i think you could when you install, perhaps you could tell apt where to find the packages you want to use to install by editing this file --> /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:53] <mek8630> Does anybody know why the program "DeVeDe" won't convert the entire movie for me so I can burn it?
[17:53] <wifinotworking> toughengineer: in terminal, you can apt-cache search <packages> and then install with sudo apt-get install <packages>
[17:54] <itheos> onetinsoldier, ok thanks :)
[17:54] <itheos> let me try
[17:54] <Halitech> mek8630, what do you mean? do you get an error message at some point?
[17:54] <toughengineer> i will
[17:54] <sprung> mek8630, that app works great for me, do you have all your restricted stuff configured?
[17:54] <onetinsoldier> wise_crypt: don't know. and i thought i saw someone say that the ultimate edition is not a Canonical release, but is a 'derivative' of Ubuntu and not supported here?
[17:54] <HeTaL> So
[17:54]  * ohir did excersise
[17:55] <mek8630> Halitech: No it just only converts about 2 min. of the movie but also when I watch the movie it says I need to download some other video player to watch it. It doesn't make any sense.
[17:55] <sipior> ohir: ?
[17:55] <wise_crypt> onetinsoldier:  hmm
[17:55] <ohir> llutz: you're right
[17:55] <maco> onetinsoldier: thats correct
[17:55] <HeTaL> Apparently my laptop thinks the lid got closed when I turn remove the AC cord. ;_;
[17:55] <llutz> ohir: :D
[17:55] <onetinsoldier> itheos: you're welcome. someone else besides me could probably help better with that
[17:55] <MACscr> anyone using the colorzilla plugin for firefox 3.6.3 and cant get the eyedropper tool to work in ubuntu 10.4 64bit?
[17:55] <sprung> mek8630, let's start with making sure you did everything here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[17:55] <mek8630> sprung: I am not sure what you mean by restricted stuff
[17:55] <tertl3> formula 1 racing is awesome
[17:55] <onetinsoldier> maco: roger. thanks for confirmation :-) didn't know for certain
[17:55] <MACscr> or more, does it work for anyone?
[17:55] <toughengineer> i got nothing from that search
[17:55] <itheos> onetinsoldier, i am waiting for that better angel :D you helped too :)
[17:55] <Halitech> mek8630, sounds like you didn't install all the extras that sprung just linked to
[17:55] <dforthman> Hi. Still having the problem with the wireless adapter. It's installed with ndiswrapper and shows up in ndiswrapper -l, but there's no "Wireless Networks" in the networking drop down. do i need to do anything else to get ubuntu 10.04 to turn it on? there's no blinking light on the adapter, but it works on my winxp machine.
[17:55] <sprung> mek8630, lots of video problems get solved by going through that list
[17:55] <JoeSomebody> !automate
[17:56] <wifinotworking> my wireless card (compaq w200) worked fine in windows xp, and now won't even be recognized in lshw, how do i let it see the wireless card (i even tried installing the windows driver for it in linux and it says its not there). i tried fn+f2 to on and off it and there were no bios options to turn it on? any ideas?
[17:56] <sprung> mek8630, you're "supposed" to do those instructions anyway. it unlocks everything that because of legal purposes could not be released with ubuntu as a bundle
[17:56] <onetinsoldier> itheos: i would gues that the manual for 'aptoncd' might tell how to do it ;-)
[17:56] <ohir> CAPcap: sudo /bin/sh -c 'echo wacom >> /etc/modules'
[17:56] <llutz> ohir: so our unices are not sooo different ;)
[17:56] <itheos> onetinsoldier, ok thanks let me try that too :)
[17:56] <toughengineer> i have problems with my VGA accelerator and i need these packages and i didn't find it in cache search , any other ideas ?!
[17:57] <ohir> llutz: not that much :)
[17:57] <mek8630> Halitech, sprung: thank you hope I can get it figured out. I wish Ubuntu and other Linux op. systems were as easy to figure stuff out as it is for Windows but everything else stayed the same.
[17:57] <fcomtois> hey guys quick question, is it possible to make a boot iso from Ubuntu?
[17:57] <onetinsoldier> itheos: cheers. good luck :)
[17:57] <starghost> I think this ubuntu one might be more trouble than it's worth.
[17:57] <fcomtois> I mean to write an iso on a Usb stick
[17:57] <Halitech> mek8630, its not harder, just different :)
[17:57] <wifinotworking> toughengineer: you can search packages.ubuntu.com for the packages and install the *.deb files manually (double click to install after download)
[17:57] <shiftingcontrol> fcomtois:would explain a bit?
[17:57] <mek8630> Halitech: I know I feel like I am lost all the time haha
[17:57] <toughengineer> i think they are RPM packages
[17:57] <Flux7856> channel
[17:58] <Halitech> mek8630, welcome to the club, we all felt that way when we started
[17:58] <toughengineer> not deb
[17:58] <mek8630> Halitech: everything I go to use something it needs 3 or 4 other programs or something to go with it
[17:58] <fcomtois> shiftingcontrol: I want to make a make a usb stick bootable from an Iso file, like I would do under Winxp
[17:58] <wifinotworking> !compile | toughengineer
[17:58] <peppo> I've lost the upper right menu which contains log in/log out/switch user/suspend and IM statuses... which panel app is that?
[17:58] <Halitech> mek8630, if you are installing things with synaptic it should pull all the dependencies with it
[17:58] <CAPcap> llutz: it worked perfectly thats exactly what i wanted. i was just going to run the script i wrote at startup but this is better. thanks muchly
[17:58] <yotta911> How i can access a smb share by dosbox?
[17:59] <starghost> Should I ask my question again hoping one of the newer people can answer or is once enough?
[17:59] <ikonia> toughengineer: if you seacrh the repo's you'll find those packages,
[17:59] <mek8630> Halitech: is the the Ubuntu software center?
[17:59] <ikonia> toughengineer: keep in mind that xorg is modular so the package names may be slightly different depending on the distro, however the contents are the same
[17:59] <peppo> its header was my username.... gone missing and can't find it again
[17:59] <yotta911> Like This: I have a win2008 server whith a smb share with old apps...
[17:59] <wifinotworking> yotta911: i don't believe dosbox supports SMB, maybe you can use wine to map it to a driver letter?
[17:59] <CAPcap> starghost that depends on how long its been since you asked
[17:59] <sipior> starghost: asking every ten minutes or so is pretty reasonable, i think.
[17:59] <mc__> starghost, never ask to ask - it is no problem to resend your question from time to time just not every 5 minutes.
[17:59] <bullgard> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=sagemath&mode=exactfilename&suite=lucid&arch=any: "You have searched for files named sagemath in suite lucid, all sections, and all architectures. Sorry, your search gave no results." This differs from Karmic. What is the reason?
[17:59] <yotta911> and i would like to access with dosbox
[17:59] <Halitech> mek8630, Ubuntu software center is another front end but it should work the same, just not list all the individual packages
[17:59] <shiftingcontrol> fcomlois:yea it is possible make the desired file in.iso format and change the boot sequence in the BIOS u wnt how to make iso file in ubuntu ?
[18:00] <fcomtois> shiftingcontrol:  no no
[18:00] <toughengineer> i don't find them in synaptic , and i think they don't have any repo in my source.list
[18:00] <fcomtois> shiftingcontrol: I mean I want to make a crunchpad linux iso onto a usb
[18:00] <mek8630> Halitech: where do I find synaptics
[18:00] <ikonia> !info sagemath
[18:00] <ikonia> bullgard: because that package doesn't exist in lucid
[18:00] <peppo> what's the name of the applet that is a menu and contains my username and IM status and log out/restart etc.
[18:00] <wifinotworking> toughengineer: sounds like i would try packages.ubuntu.com, but other than that you would have to compile by source; i have tried compiling those packages by source and they are a real pain
[18:01] <maco> bullgard: doesnt work with python 2.6
[18:01] <yotta911> I'm mounted the share in a folder
[18:01] <trism> peppo: indicator applet session
[18:01] <maco> bullgard: if i remember right
[18:01] <yotta911> >	but when i try access, dosbox said "folder no exists"
[18:01] <ikonia> maco: superb insite
[18:01] <ikonia> insight even
[18:01] <shiftingcontrol> fcomlois:yea it is possible make the desired file in.iso format and change the boot sequence in the BIOS u wnt how to make iso file in ubuntu ?
[18:01] <peppo> trism, how to add it?
[18:01] <squiddy_> anyone able to play flash on this site? http://speedtest.net/. it tells me that my flash plugin is out of date. i use v.10.xx.xx
[18:01] <toughengineer> how could i compile the source ?
[18:01] <ikonia> toughengineer: you don't need to
[18:01] <bullgard> maco: Ah! Thank you for explaining.
[18:01] <Halitech> mek8630, not totally sure but under the admin menu I believe
[18:01] <ikonia> toughengineer: they should be in the repo
[18:01] <trism> peppo: right click the panel, add to panel, indicator applet session
[18:01] <lxlv01> hello, i have set up a jabber account at jabber.org and created it in empathy but can i add a couple of msn contacts to it?anyone knows how this is done?
[18:01] <shiftingcontrol> fcomtois:sorry haven't heard!
[18:01] <wifinotworking> shiftcontrol: grub2 does not support booting from an iso file yet
[18:01] <onetinsoldier> toughengineer: if you want to go into #ubuntu-offtopic i'll help with that
[18:02] <peppo> trism, that's not it. at least, I added it again and it added another couple of icons, but not the one with my username etc
[18:02] <starghost> Hey - I'm using the latest Ubuntu on a virtual box and everything is working great - I'm trying to access my Ubuntu One preferences to turn Sync on.

[18:02] <shiftingcontrol> wifinotworking: sure so then how does liveCD works?
[18:02] <wifinotworking> shiftingcontrol: live cds have extracted iso's on them, not the iso file
[18:02] <peppo> trism, oh sorry there it was. thanks!
[18:02] <maco> starghost: i think you just set which folders sync and they do it automatically when anything changes
[18:03] <mek8630> Halitech: thank you I found it, so should I just start installing my programs/apps with this synaptics?
[18:03] <wifinotworking> shiftcontrol: you can go to #grub2 or #grub to confirm this
[18:03] <theos> onetinsoldier, ok wow its working. i think i couldnt recover all the packages :( its ok i will do it now onwards :) thanks
[18:03] <starghost> maco: ok, the thing is in my device list tab there are no computers listed because in ubuntu login website they never asked me to sync a computer
[18:03] <shiftingcontrol> wifinotworking:ok . . .
[18:04] <toughengineer> this is the result of my search in ubuntu packages " Sorry, your search gave no results "
[18:04] <Halitech> mek8630, there or the software center, both are good
[18:04] <dforthman> Hi. Still having the problem with the wireless adapter. It's installed with ndiswrapper and shows up in ndiswrapper -l, but there's no "Wireless Networks" in the networking drop down. do i need to do anything else to get ubuntu 10.04 to turn it on? there's no blinking light on the adapter, but it works on my winxp machine.
[18:04] <wifinotworking> toughengineer: i think someone offered to help you in #ubuntu-offtopic, i forgot who it was though
[18:04] <onetinsoldier> itheos: roger that. good to hear it's working :)
[18:05] <itheos> onetinsoldier, the cloning isnt working:((
[18:05] <toughengineer> i am there
[18:05] <toughengineer> no response till now
[18:05] <wifinotworking> dforthman: try a lspci and lshw -C networking to see if its displaying there
[18:05] <maco> toughengineer: Xfree86? we use X11 in ubuntu
[18:05]  * itheos gives itheos a baseball bat
[18:05] <itheos> onetinsoldier, for example it gives this "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "libprotobuf3""
[18:05] <itheos> it says for everything
[18:05] <mek8630> Halitech: oh wow I don't know if I could ever get this synaptic figured out, sometimes I feel like giving up and going back to the crap os windows just because at least I know what I am doing.
[18:06] <dforthman> wifinotworking, it's listed in lsusb with the same device id as what's listed in ndiswrapper -l
[18:06] <maco> toughengineer: er, X.org's X11... as opposed to XFree86's X11 implementation
[18:06] <toughengineer> my VGA card require it for installation maco
[18:06] <toughengineer> and i don't find my xorg.conf
[18:06] <starghost> Got it guys, with much trial and error I finally got the computer setup box to come up
[18:06] <onetinsoldier> itheos: don't worry about those untill it's all done. make note of the package names though
[18:06] <Halitech> mek8630, I use the search function alot but the software center is just as good
[18:06] <wifinotworking> toughengineer: /etc/xorg/xorg.conf
[18:06] <maco> toughengineer: it oesnt exist by default because mostly things are autoconfigured
[18:06] <maco> toughengineer: you can just *make* an /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:07] <winterweaver> I'm trying to open desktopcouch with this command: xdg-open .local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html ... problem is that it tries to open the page with Chrome (which I dont have installed). Where can I change the preferred browser for this xdg-open utility?
[18:07] <Halitech> wifinotworking, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:07] <wifinotworking> Halitech: thanks, that right
[18:07] <itheos> onetinsoldier, ok:)
[18:07] <toughengineer> and when i make it .. what should i write in it ?
[18:07] <Halitech> wifinotworking, not that its usually there unless you make it manually
[18:07] <onetinsoldier> itheos: is it installing most all of the packages though? i hope it is
[18:07] <itheos> nops
[18:07] <ikonia> toughengineer: you don't need to make it
[18:07] <itheos> its not installing anything onetinsoldier
[18:07] <ikonia> toughengineer: it's in the ubuntu repos - pre-compiled and waiting for you to use
[18:07] <maco> ikonia: sometimes you do need to make it
[18:07] <maco> ikonia: huh?
[18:08] <ikonia> the software package ?
[18:08] <maco> ikonia: toughengineer is asking what to type into xorg.conf
[18:08] <a3ist> anyone know what class to use in ccsm to get guake to use true transparency?
[18:08] <ikonia> maco: ahh, sorry I thought he was still asking about the mesa libs package
[18:08] <davidov009> Anyone have some knowledge about the network-manager? I accidentally uninstalled the gui in the toolbar at the top of the desktop. Need to re-install it.
[18:08] <mek8630> Halitech, sprung: thank you for your help I am checking out that link now that you sent me sprung.
[18:08] <_Yang_> my website : Www.xtremehacking.com

[18:08] <wifinotworking> my wireless card (compaq w200) worked fine in windows xp, and now won't even be recognized in lshw, how do i let it see the wireless card (i even tried installing the windows driver for it in linux and it says its not there). i tried fn+f2 to on and off it and there were no bios options to turn it on? any ideas?

[18:10] <Lcawte> Anarhist: seem'd to fix it with a few tweeks to the hardware..
[18:10] <benlieb> anyone know how to recover password with nickserv?
[18:10] <dforthman> wifinotworking, no, i mean mine lol
[18:10] <davidov009> halitech, ok. I've done that. What program do I pick?
[18:10] <ikonia> benlieb: ask in #freenode
[18:10] <dforthman> should it be in both?

[18:11] <a3ist> err somewhere
[18:11] <Jordan_U> wifinotworking: shiftingcontrol: It is impossible, with any bootloader, to boot from an iso not specifically designed to be loop bootable. However, Ubuntu live isos and many other live Distributions are loop bootable and can be booted from an iso using grub2.
[18:11] <kaioken> what would be the difference b/w a library lib*.a and lib*.so?
[18:11] <remoteCTRL3> gawd
[18:11] <Anarhist> benlieb, do /msg nickserv help
[18:11] <progre55> onetinsoldier: thanks man, I'll have a look
[18:11] <davidov009> halitech, thank you. That worked great.
[18:11] <gabriel__> can I back up all my installed packages for later use? if so, how can I reinstall them?
[18:11] <onetinsoldier> progre55: roger. it's the method and guide i used, and i just recently updated mine to 10.5's
[18:12] <Halitech> davidov009, glad to help out, took me a while to figure it out
[18:12] <benste> hi, does some know when https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-servers/+bug/571548 will be available - I've just purchased some music but can't download it
[18:12] <toughengineer> my desktop effects stopped from that and my accelerator too and when i type aticonfig it tells me that there is no driver detected .. although i can see it in VGA grep and i got my support installation .run from AMD but i still can't find my xorg.conf ... so tell me please what to do in steps
[18:12] <wifinotworking> Jordan_U: last i spoke with the grub2 programmers 6 months ago they said iso formats were not supported by grub2
[18:12] <progre55> onetinsoldier: cool! hope this helps to fix my bootsplash and also my brightness controll in my vaio
[18:12] <davidov009> Anyone know if there is a version of itunes for ubuntu 10.04? Or do I have to run some kind of virtual machine or w/e?
[18:13] <lllama> Hello all. Can anyone help with a dual boot problem? Trying to get a everything encrypted (truecrypt and luks) and bumping up against my grub2 limits.
[18:13] <Halitech> !itunes
[18:13] <onetinsoldier> progre55: what's wrong with your bootsplash? are you using 'plymouth'?
[18:13] <progre55> onetinsoldier: yeah.. still havent been able to fix it..
[18:13] <Jordan_U> wifinotworking: No, they didn't. grub2 has supported the iso filesystem and loopback devices for a few years now. I think you misunderstood what they were saying (for instance they may have said that you can't "chainload" an iso file, which is true)
[18:13] <progre55> onetinsoldier: all those nvidia fixes didnt really work.. or I kept losing my tty
[18:14] <davidov009> ubottu, should I go through "sudo apt-get install banshee" to do that?
[18:14] <onetinsoldier> progre55: roger. your the fellow that was on here last night under a different nick?
[18:14] <wifinotworking> Jordan_U: i probably misunderstood; wanted to boot from iso in grub bootup list, which probably is chainload? thanks.
[18:14] <toughengineer> hello
[18:14] <Lantizia> Hey does anyone know about the MultiarchSpec ?
[18:14] <Halitech> davidov009, yes or look at other players
[18:14] <ikonia> Lantizia: in what respect
[18:14] <progre55> onetinsoldier: hmm.. not really.. I mean, I was here, but I always use the same nick
[18:14] <Isam_> what's the best php ide for ubuntu users? (i just switched from windows)
[18:14] <ripper> hello
[18:15] <davidov009> Alright. Banshee will work for an ipod touch, right?
[18:15] <wifinotworking> toughengineer: you might also want to ask your question on the ubuntu forums or try in this room later if no one gave u a satifactory answer to solve your problem
[18:15] <onetinsoldier> progre55: ok, roger. are you running on an upgrade from earlier version of ubuntu? or is this on a fresh install?
[18:15] <Lantizia> ikonia: In the respect of if it is actually finished and a part of 1.04?
[18:15] <Lantizia> *10.04
[18:15] <Halitech> davidov009, banshee should if they are mentioning it in the faq
[18:15] <progre55> onetinsoldier: fresh
[18:16] <toughengineer> i wrote it in the forum long time ago .. but these is no response although many ppl have the same proplem
[18:16] <Jordan_U> wifinotworking: You have a menu entry for booting an iso file, but that iso file must specifically support being loop booted. Here is a good guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604
[18:16] <xangua> davidov009: banshee or rhythmbox
[18:16] <ikonia> Lantizia: it's a work in progress, the "finished" item you speak of has not been implimented fully yet
[18:16] <Lantizia> ikonia: The Wiki page claims it has been in 9.10
[18:17] <ikonia> Lantizia: fully ?
[18:17] <Lantizia> ikonia:Doesn't say fully or not fully - just says ... "Ubuntu 9.10 introduces support for installing packages from multiple architectures on a single system. This makes a wider array of 32-bit applications available to users of 64-bit Ubuntu. "
[18:18] <ikonia> Lantizia: I think that's a fair statement, introduces
[18:18] <Lantizia> ikonia: Yeah but it doesn't tell you how, it may as well say Santa is real
[18:18] <ikonia> Lantizia: what do you mean it doesn't tell you how ?
[18:18] <Lantizia> ikonia: I mean it exactly as I just said it
[18:19] <ikonia> Lantizia: as in how it introduces multilib ?
[18:19] <onetinsoldier> progre55: roger. not sure what's wrong. what does the boot screen look like with this issue. random pixels? strange looking as if corrupt? plymouth boot screen should work ok on fresh install really
[18:19] <Lantizia> ikonia: it claims it "introduces support for installing packages from multiple architectures"... how?
[18:19] <j0rd_> l8tr dayz every1
[18:19] <shuki> Hello. maybe someone knows how to install and configure vino to a remote server through ssh?
[18:19] <ikonia> Lantizia: by using dynamic linking and following the FHS stadnard for 32/64bit naming
[18:20] <Lantizia> ikonia: So the packages are still complete seperate then?
[18:20] <ikonia> Lantizia: yes, totally seperate packages, look at the arch tag on them
[18:20] <dforthman> one second and i'll have a pastebin of lsusb, ndiswrapper -l, and ifconfig -a
[18:20] <hemza> hi
[18:20] <dforthman> the wired ports on my router are going out so i need this wireless card to work
[18:20] <Lantizia> ikonia: OK so the full spec I'm guessing won't be until Debian decide how to do it in squeeze?
[18:20] <hemza> i do not like in ubuntu internet temporary files
[18:21] <Isam_> i have english and french keyboards... how can i switch between the two using the keyboard?
[18:21] <hellz_bellz> where can i go to seek helpful advice on why i should not harm myself and find worthwhile conversation in the search for a reason to appreciate life?
[18:21] <Night_Elf> ikonia: this multiarch scheme, I wonder is it in Debian too? The packages don't have a respective naming convention there to what I know
[18:21] <hellz_bellz> the reason i ask
[18:21] <hellz_bellz> is because i have seen and recieved
[18:21] <hemza> it save all things you do it in net .... i do not like this
[18:21] <hellz_bellz> alot of help here before
[18:21] <Isam_> i have english and french keyboards... how can i switch between the two using the keyboard in windows i press alt+shift
[18:21] <kyubutsu> ia32 libraries is how 64bit systems deal with it, Lantizia ... the support is for 64bit systems to utilize 32bit programs not the other way around..
[18:21] <squid3k> hi everyone!
[18:21] <ikonia> Night_Elf: it's not a tool
[18:21] <progre55> onetinsoldier: well, first off, it's just a black screen, and right before I get to the logon screen, I can see the splashscreen for about 2 seconds. However, I can of course make the splash screen apprear for longer (but it's better to keep the black screen, as the splash screen looks ugly)
[18:21] <hemza> is there a software to cleam after me
[18:21] <squid3k> can someone help me figure out something please -i've changed the owner of /var/www to "www-data", have added my username to that group and still i can't create anything inside that directory. any clues? :)
[18:21] <ikonia> Lantizia: I'd make that assumption also
[18:21] <Halitech> hellz_bellz, unavoidable, you can set firefox to clear it after every time you close firefox
[18:22] <hellz_bellz> what?
[18:22] <wifinotworking> hemza: about temporary internet files, you should recommend ideas.ubuntu.com a /tmp on the ram for temp files, including temp internet files
[18:22] <hellz_bellz> halitech you make no sense to my question
[18:22] <Halitech> hemza, unavoidable, you can set firefox to clear it after every time you close firefox
[18:22] <Halitech> hellz_bellz, sorry, hit tab too many times
[18:22] <progre55> onetinsoldier: as for the splashscreen, it's not random pixels, but really poor quality. and it as this shadowish white stuff around the "ubuntu" word, and also around each progressing dot.
[18:22] <llutz> squid3k: you have to change the group not the owner of /var/www
[18:22] <nerdy_kid> i just got amarok 2.3.1 in my updates, but the coverbling applet is not there!  did they remove it?
[18:23] <hellz_bellz> there are also alot of irc chatters here which adds to the pool of knowledge
[18:23] <onetinsoldier> progre55: roger. i have my doubts this guide will help solve you problem, but take a look if you want --> http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml
[18:23] <hemza> ok ... but i need a software like CCLEANER in windows
[18:23] <ikonia> hemza: what do you want to achieve ?
[18:23] <hellz_bellz> i need a place in irc where i can find helpful advice on why i should not harm myself and find worthwhile conversation in the search for a reason to appreciate life?
[18:23] <Halitech> hemza, why?

[18:25] <hellz_bellz> fine, if i survive my aattemp ill incriminate you as the reason i tried to hurt myself
[18:25] <onetinsoldier> hemza: just use synaptic...  System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager
[18:25] <greezmunkey> haven't seen that in here until now...
[18:25] <BluesKaj> shomon, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:25] <matyd> I need help reporting a bug
[18:26] <shomon> also, where has the sound icon gone in ubuntu 10?
[18:26] <progre55> onetinsoldier: how can I find out what version is my current driver?
[18:26] <shomon> thanks BluesKaj
[18:26] <llutz> squid3k: nope, you did it right. just add "sudo chmod g+w /var/www" to make it writeable for the group
[18:26] <xangua> shomon: add the indicator applet to the panel
[18:26] <kyubutsu> matyd: ubuntu-bug <program name>  in terminal
[18:26] <a3ist> is guake.org down for anyone else?
[18:26] <onetinsoldier> progre55: you say you have an nvidia video card?
[18:26] <matyd> its not a specific program though.... thats where i'm confused
[18:26] <shomon> thanks xangua !
[18:27] <progre55> onetinsoldier: nope, ati mobility
[18:27] <matyd> it has to do with audio output via hdmi.... it work via amarok but the audio doesn't work via vlc or dragon player
[18:27] <feisar> Hi, I need some information on how Evolution on Ubuntu interacts with an LDAP server, could someone point me in the right direction?
[18:27] <onetinsoldier> progre55: roger. try --> dpkg -l '*fglrx*' | grep ^ii
[18:28] <shomon> another wierd thing. my display is looking fine, but when I move the mouse past the bottom or right end of the screen, there's all this extra black space!
[18:28] <matyd> anybody know how I would go about reporting that????
[18:28] <shomon> BluesKaj: I'm getting "ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version"
[18:28] <progre55> onetinsoldier: I dont get it.. it's not even 10.4? http://pastie.org/985983
[18:29] <shomon> also I already installed the flash version ubuntu wanted... and I had an error with "flashplugin-nonfree" when installing so I removed it and reinstalled.
[18:29] <BluesKaj> shomon, ok try flashplugin-nonfree as well, probly redundant but it can't hurt
[18:29] <shomon> ok
[18:29] <onetinsoldier> progre55: yeah, they don't number it in linux by the 'Catalyst' version number. but those are 10.4's
[18:30] <liminal> im trying to install mythtv on ubuntu lynx, it requires upnp to talk to the sql database
[18:30] <liminal> but it doesnt detect it
[18:30] <shomon> cool it's removing the adobe one... hope it-s okay.
[18:30] <squid3k> llutz: thanks! :D
[18:30] <greezmunkey> how can I flush dns cache locally
[18:30] <progre55> onetinsoldier: oh okay, thanks )

[18:31] <onetinsoldier> progre55: you're welcome

[18:34] <monra> Hello. I have a pdf file(2 pages) which are 3MB in size.. Is there a way to distorte somehow the pdf files but let them be readable so to reduce their total size? Is there a program in ubuntu to do that? Thank you
[18:35] <mkanyicy> monra, try printing it to a pdf file
[18:35] <acovrig> can someone help me with aumix?
[18:35] <mkanyicy> acovrig, whats happening?
[18:35] <mawst> a3ist, above my head
[18:35] <mawst> hehe
[18:35] <mawst> :P
[18:36] <acovrig> mkanyicy, http://pastebin.com/XtMNK4eM
[18:36] <xXRyuXx> >.>
[18:36] <onetinsoldier> progre55: yeah, it's how i recently installed the newer version drivers, by following that guide
[18:36] <monra> mkanyicy: what do you mean? How can i print it to a pdf file? Thank you
[18:36] <a3ist> mawst, you learning chinese?  mandarin or cantonese?
[18:37] <xXRyuXx> damn, i shoulda started with Ubuntu. lol
[18:37] <xXRyuXx> Damn BT4.
[18:37] <ankush> hi
[18:37] <mawst> a3ist, I really don't know anything else really
[18:37] <magik> Hey all
[18:37] <wifinotworking> my wireless card (compaq w200) worked fine in windows xp, and now won't even be recognized in lshw, how do i let it see the wireless card (i even tried installing the windows driver for it in linux and it says its not there). i tried fn+f2 to on and off it and there were no bios options to turn it on? any ideas?
[18:37] <mawst> hehe
[18:37] <a3ist> oh heh
[18:38] <xXRyuXx> Ohiyo
[18:38] <mawst> I plan to learn mandarin at some point.
[18:38] <mawst> Studying others though currently
[18:38] <mkanyicy> monra, open if and print it, instead of printing to the printer, print to the file (this has 2 options, a. ps format and b. pdf format)
[18:38] <a3ist> wo putonghua shi hao, bu shi tai hao le :)   (translation:  My mandarin is good but not great)
[18:38] <xXRyuXx> lol
[18:38] <mkanyicy> acovrig, i dont have an idea what that aumix is
[18:38] <shomon> hmm... seems not to have fixed the flash problem BluesKaj: chrome still says "missing plugin" ( I copied it to /plugins manually!) and ff still has no sound
[18:38] <progre55> onetinsoldier: btw, lspci -v shows "Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci" is it the same as fglrx?
[18:38] <mkanyicy> acovrig, rather ask a question big brother
[18:38] <jure64> can rhythmbox display the song it's playing as a notification?
[18:39] <shomon> iplayer is even worse... It wants me to upgrade to a mystery version...
[18:39] <ankush> i need to recover my linux partition via alterate disk.. is it possible?
[18:39] <mkanyicy> jure64, yes
[18:39] <jure64> mkanyicy, how
[18:39] <progre55> onetinsoldier: but it says "Kernel modules: fglrx, radeon"
[18:39] <magik> Hey, does anyone know how i can hide window borders in ubuntu 10.4?
[18:39] <acovrig> mkanyicy, i kinda did, why isn't it working? - i did `strace aumix`>http://pastebin.com/XtMNK4eM - when I just do `aumix` i get 'aumix:  error opening mixer: Success'
[18:39] <mkanyicy> ankush, yes it is possible
[18:39] <onetinsoldier> progre55: yes
[18:40] <a3ist> magik, you using compiz?
[18:40] <mkanyicy> jure64, i think by default
[18:40] <onetinsoldier> progre55: so does mine
[18:40] <jure64> mkanyicy, then i must have switched it off somehow?
[18:40] <shomon> is there a trick to getting iplayer running on ubuntu?
[18:40] <monra> mkanyicy: sorry, Ok ... but in what program can I find such an option. At xpdf ?  Thank you for your time :)
[18:40] <mkanyicy> jure64, enable the Status Icon plugin
[18:40] <magik> a3ist:  I knew that's what i needed. Thanks a lot.
[18:40] <progre55> onetinsoldier: awesome. now let me try to reboot.. with me luck :) I've installed the new driver but just downloading it, and changing mode to +x and just executing it.. hope it works..
[18:41] <jure64> mkanyicy, it's enabled
[18:41] <myrk> hi
[18:41] <onetinsoldier> progre55: ok, good luck :-) i do have my doubts this will fix your boot splash issue though
how? ive booted the cd via usb.. and i am able to reach the shell..thn after that? there is no setup or grub-install command!!!
[18:41] <mkanyicy> monra, any program
[18:41] <wifinotworking> my wireless card (compaq w200) worked fine in windows xp, and now won't even be recognized in lshw, how do i let it see the wireless card (i even tried installing the windows driver for it in linux and it says its not there). i tried fn+f2 to on and off it and there were no bios options to turn it on? any ideas?
[18:41] <a3ist> magik:  There are different ways to remove menu bars depending on which window manager and any compositers, but if you already have compiz its pretty quick and easy
[18:42] <ahmed_> hello
[18:42] <ahmed_> aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
[18:42] <ahmed_>  any ideas ?
[18:42] <mkanyicy> monra, just do a CTRL+P to print and then dont choose a printer but the 'Print to File' option
[18:43] <xXRyuXx> Ohiyo
[18:43] <ankush> mkanyicy : how? ive booted the cd via usb.. and i am able to reach the shell..thn after that? there is no setup or grub-install command!!!
[18:44] <karma_police> how do you enable commercial dvd playback in ubuntu? i've tried several google attempts with no luck
[18:44] <karma_police> 64bit
[18:44] <progre55> onetinsoldier: well, it's worth a try )
[18:44] <magik> a3ist: How can i remove the window borders with compiz? I only want to do it on one certain window...
[18:44] <soreau> magik: ccsm>Window Decoration. Create an inverted match for the window you want no decorations
[18:45] <greezmunkey> karma_police: read this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-ubuntu-linux-playback-dvd/
[18:45] <a3ist> magik:  Effects->Window Decorations and in the "decoration windows" box you can do (!<identifier>), like the name or class of the window
[18:45] <mkanyicy> ankush, what do you exactly want to do, what happened?
[18:45] <ankush> help recover my partition via alternate disk in ubuntu 10.04
[18:45] <magik> ok
[18:45] <alket> How to adjust Brightness (Im at full at my monitor specs, gnome applet doesn't work, im not using lap top ) ?
[18:45] <progre55> onetinsoldier: arright man, brb. Gone for a reboot ) appreciate all the help
[18:45] <Gorlist> good evening, just wondered if anyone here ad figured out a solution to the poor Skype audio quality in 10.04?
[18:45] <Gorlist> specifically mic input
[18:46] <karma_police> tried that.. did not work
[18:46] <a3ist> magik:  Example:  !(state=maxvert | maxhorz) is what an applet of mine uses to disable them for maximized windows
[18:46] <monra> mkanyicy: I printed it in another pdf file and from 5MB size it has gone to 39MB!!
[18:46] <karma_police> greezmunkey> that did not work for me.
[18:47] <magik> a3ist:  Hmmmm but in xubuntu i could just go in my terminal and click view>Hide window border
[18:47] <a3ist> that's why I mentioned that its different for other window managers
[18:47] <mkanyicy> monra, then thats it
[18:47] <magik> s3 so how would i get rid of the border on one specific terminal?
[18:47] <mkanyicy> monra, i guess you cannot go further then
[18:48] <xXRyuXx> ok, so i just reinstalled Ubuntu onto a Live-usb(8gb [7.5gb]) with a 3.4gb partition, but i cant seem to find the partition. any ideas?
[18:48] <mkanyicy> magical, use terminator
[18:48] <mkanyicy> magik, use terminator
[18:48] <mkanyicy> magical, sorry
[18:49] <ankush> mkanyicy : i installed windows.as a result linux partition(ubuntu 10.04) was gone..but i later realised that i have only alternate disk..  i thn tried Grub4Dos , i did something wrong and now the windows partition is lost too..
[18:49] <a3ist> magik:  I'm not all that familiar with the XFCE window manager, but if you're using compiz you can create a profile for undecorated terminals, and then in compiz use the reference "!(class='profileName')" in window decorations->decoration windows
[18:49] <magik> whas terminator?
[18:49] <monra> mkanyicy: well... I need to decrease the size of the .pdf file, the print has increase it to 39MB
[18:50] <mkanyicy> monra, i am saying that maybe your size is already compressed to its best and you are asking too much
[18:50] <xXRyuXx> ok, so i just reinstalled Ubuntu onto a Live-usb(8gb [7.5gb]) with a 3.4gb partition, but i cant seem to find the partition. any know where it is?
[18:51] <ikonia> xXRyuXx: if you've booted it - you're in it
[18:51] <mkanyicy> ankush, so are you logged on now?
[18:51] <magik> mkanyicy: whats terminator?
[18:51] <monra> mkanyicy: ok. thank you :)
[18:51] <onetinsoldier> !info terminator
[18:51] <xXRyuXx> but i expect all setting and applications to be saved in that partition
[18:51] <xXRyuXx> and when i reboot, all setting are normally deleted.
[18:52] <kurome> shift key does not work since updating to 10.04....help

[18:56] <seedymac> How do you magnify the whole screen on Ubuntu? WIndows does not have this, Mac has something by pressing control-Mouse Wheel you can zoom in and out. Thanks for any info on this.
[18:57] <mkanyicy> ankush, the first thing we need to establish after installing are disks and partitions using 'sudo fdisk -l'
[18:57] <onetinsoldier> seedymac: use the 'Super' key + mousewheel
[18:57] <magik> mkanyicy: So how do i hide the window border in terminator?
[18:57] <neo> alguien habla español?
[18:57] <mcl0vin> ikonia: because there is no solution to it and i thought maybe a gentleman like you might have used it and fix it
[18:57] <erUSUL> !es | neo
[18:58] <ikonia> mcl0vin: if there was a fix, it would be in the bug reporrt

[18:59] <mcl0vin> ikonia: and i am sure you are not the only person in #ubuntu that will say this..i don't know if you have notice that there is some guys here they actually care and provide assistance
[18:59] <mkanyicy> magik, -b means borderless
[18:59] <mkanyicy> magik, -m means maximized
[18:59] <magik> mkanyicy:  thanks a lot
[19:00] <magik> mkanyicy:  but now i can move it =[

[19:00] <ankush> mkanyicy: ok..ill try rewrting the usb..do u know any easy way to make usb bootable for alternate diska?
[19:00] <ikonia> mcl0vin: I provide a solid level of support, however if there is a bug with a software package, and the bug reports no fix yet, you can rest easy that the fix has not yet been identified/released
[19:00] <mkanyicy> magik, I was expecting that, I dont know
[19:00] <magik> mkanyicy:  =[

[19:01] <a3ist> !ask | kaushal
[19:01] <mkanyicy> magik, its not the same at all
[19:01] <ikonia> mcl0vin: the date has nothing to do with it, there are much older bugs

[19:01] <magik> mgolisch: Aww this sucks =[
[19:02] <a3ist> kaushal, did you try the #ubuntu-server channel?
[19:02] <ikonia> mcl0vin: one of ubuntu's release schedule issues, is the lack of fixes in the current releases, and a trend to fix in the next release as a solution
[19:02] <magik> mkanyicy: I had a lot of problems when i put fluxbox into ubuntu yesterday
[19:02] <mahasti> hello from iran
[19:02] <mkanyicy> magik, you can press Ctrl+Shift+E or Ctrl+Shift+O and see whats gonna happen
[19:02] <kaushal> a3ist, yes
[19:02] <mietkins> hello
[19:02] <mkanyicy> magik, on terminator of course
[19:02] <magik> mkanyicy: haha i can just press ALT and drag the window dur
[19:02] <mcl0vin> ikonia: what do you mean please
[19:03] <mkanyicy> magik, you are the genious!
[19:03] <magik> mkanyicy: Lies. Tell me you didn't know that!!!
[19:03] <ikonia> mcl0vin: ubuntu has a tendency to not fix issues in the release they are reported in, but put the fix into the next release (n+1)
[19:03] <colk> I am having hard lockups on Ubuntu server with a Poweredge R710 it seems to be when the box gets a lot of ethernet traffic
[19:03] <mkanyicy> magik, nope! I've been using terminator for years without knowing!
[19:03] <magik> mkanyicy: Haha, but how can i stretch it?
[19:04] <mkanyicy> !yay| magik
[19:04] <mkanyicy> magik, dont know either

[19:07] <Dantix> hi all, I'm having problems to connect my just installed netbook to a wifi AP using WPA, if I configure the AP to use WEP the netbook connects flawlessly. What could I doing wrong? Here my messages.. http://pastebin.com/NfWHBEyi
[19:07] <magik> jonathan__: My terminator is borderless and i was wondering how i can make it wider?
[19:08] <timyeung> hey, I have had this problem before but don't remember how to fix it off the top of my head. My printer (Brother MFC-240C) is recieving data but not printing any thing. Where do I go on the web. I know there is a walkthrough out there somewhere
[19:08] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: hello. if you don't mind and have a moment perhaps you could help me with a bug. i encountered what seems to be a serious bug to me. it caused me to have to reinstall from scratch. but i wouldn't exactly know what package to report it against
[19:08] <mietkins> /help
[19:08] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: can you explain the bug a little, lets see if we can work it out
[19:08] <jonathan__> magik, you might be able to use wmctrl (after installing it) to alter it's size via command line, though I'm not sure.
[19:08] <onetinsoldier> mcl0vin: i don't think it's sad, with Ubuntu's six month release schedule
[19:08] <Zela> Hello My sound won't work when I use Youtube or something, it will stop working and I have to reboot my whole computer is there any solution for this? anyone?
[19:08] <magik> jonathan__: How do i get it?
[19:09] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: sure.. i need a few minutes. thanks
[19:09] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: no rush, just make sur eyou hilight me so I see you talking again
[19:09] <jonathan__> magik, it should just be "sudo apt-get install wmctrl"
[19:10] <magik> jonathan__: Ok i got it now what?
[19:10] <simar> hey i'm not able to increase or decrease the brightness of my laptop .

[19:12] <pcgeek32147> how do i install the real firefox 3.6 on ubuntu 10.04
[19:13] <knxville> The sound icon is also gone
[19:13] <mickster04> pcgeek32147: what do u mean?
[19:13] <mickster04> pcgeek32147: real firefox?
[19:14] <magik_> jonathan__: Whats viewport? Is that the size/
[19:14] <magik_> ?
[19:14] <Maletor> I'm getting an error on boot. init: ureadahead exit with status 5. Google and Ubuntu forums did not prove very resourceful...
[19:14] <oCean_> simar: i remember i had similar problem, not using nvidia though. But I remember fn-keys not working, but -strangely- it worked using the brightness applet (on panel)
[19:14] <Cinderella> The HP Officejet 5610 has "fast draft" print setting in Windows but I don't see it in Ubuntu.  Can I print with a "fast draft" setting or equivalent on Ubuntu 10.04?
[19:14] <knxville> Do anyone know why both "sound" and the "mail" icons is missing in the top right corner?
[19:14] <magn3ts> Why do computer cases have 5.25" external holes still?
[19:15] <a3ist> what do you mean external holes
[19:15] <jonathan__> magik, I think viewport there is referring to the user of multiple desktops.. I don't think that's what you want.
[19:15] <jonathan__> use*
[19:15] <rocket16> knxville: Reset the panels, those applets might not be loaded.
[19:15] <Dizkonnekted> knxville, have you accidentally, or otherwise removed the notification area from there?
[19:15] <llutz> magn3ts: 3.5" dvd-drives are rare
[19:15] <magik_> jonathan__: This has me completley confused =[
[19:15] <rocket16> !resetpanel | knxville
[19:15] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: ok, here goes. i cannot be absolutely 100% positive about this. but let me say, the first time it happened, i didn't know what had caused. second time it happened though, i'm pretty sure i can reproduce it. what happened is, I logged all the way out back to the gdm logon dialog screen. if i wait a bit, there is a nice little drum roll sound. well, i didn't wait before switching to a VT and on the vt i switched to, there
[19:15] <onetinsoldier>  were error message regarding sound. something like... ctxfi: Preparing pcm audio , failed! - ctxfi: Preparing PLL output, failed! ...repeated several times. and a lot in my syslog. although i don't think it was looping continually in the syslog. anyway, what happened after a reboot, was i could no longer log into gdm. i could only type in a few chars of my password before the dialog window where i enter the password would diss
[19:15] <onetinsoldier> appear
[19:15] <FloodBot3> onetinsoldier: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:16] <magn3ts> llutz, so they are drive bays... that makes sense. lol then why do all the cases seem to always have "two 3.5" external" as well? dual floppy drives? lol
[19:16] <Onlooker> quit
[19:16] <rocket16> onetinsoldier: I think better to use pastebin or codepad for multiple-lines, :D
[19:16] <knxville> Thanks alot guys!

[19:16] <blue_anna> what's the hack to install rubygems 1.8 on lucid?
[19:16] <Maletor> I'm getting an error on boot. init: ureadahead exit with status 5
[19:16] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: that's a tough one to look at as from your initial comment that looks like a hardware error,
[19:16] <rocket16> knxville: You are most welcome, :)
[19:16] <simar> oCean_, hey what is brightness applet (on panel )???
[19:16] <magn3ts> llutz, you mind if I PM, I don't know any decent channels to ask random q's?
[19:17] <llutz> !pm > magn3ts
[19:17] <Gerwin> magn3ts: #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:17] <pcgeek32147> right now i have namroka firefox i just want firefox
[19:17] <oCean_> simar: (when using gnome) > right-click panel, choose 'add to panel', choose 'brightness applet'
[19:17] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: roger. don't think there's anything wrong with my hadware at all though. eveything works beautifully ever since i put this system together
[19:17] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: except now
[19:18] <rocket16> pcgeek32147: Namoka is the codename for Firefox 3.6
[19:18] <mickster04> pcgeek32147: is it out for ubunt yet?
[19:18] <simar> oCean_, mine is uneffected even in brightness applet ??? what to do
[19:18] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: but i hear what you're saying with regards to being tough to figure out. but really, i don't think anything's wrong with my hardware
[19:19] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: why don't you think there is anything wrong with your hardware ?
[19:19] <pcgeek32147> no its not
[19:19] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: not saying there is anything wrong, just trying to understand your reasoning
[19:19] <Maletor> 'm getting an error on boot. init: ureadahead exit with status 5
[19:19] <jonathan__> magik_, do you know what you want the new size of the window to be?
[19:19] <simar> oCean_, i think we have to find out some script that runs what we press the function keys  ...!!
[19:19] <magik> jonathan__: not really but i could experiment
[19:20] <mickster04> pcgeek32147: until its relesaed officially, you are gonna only get the code named version...to make sure your firefox just works fine
[19:20] <jonathan__> magik, alright.  Try this command in a terminal:  "wmctrl -r :SELECT: -e 0,0,0,300,300"
[19:20] <Entelin> i have a ext2 drive which I share between windows and linux. when booting into linux it runs a fsck on it every time, how can I prevent this?
[19:20] <oCean_> simar: don't really know.. I know, in /etc/acpi/events there's an asus-brightness-up (and -down) for me (I'm on asus atm)
[19:20] <BluesKaj> Maletor,but you can still boot , right ?
[19:20] <Maletor> BluesKaj: you are right
[19:20] <Cinderella> Is this the right channel for getting help with printer options in Ubuntu 10.04?
[19:20] <simar> Does anyone know which script runs what we press function keys like inc / dec brightness ????
[19:21] <simar> oCean_, thanks for that .
[19:21] <jonathan__> magik, once you run that, your cursor will change.  Click on the window you want to resize and it should be resized.
[19:21] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: roger. i am willing to run whatever benchmark or tests. i have run some before in the past, all chack out fine. i can run demanding game all day if i want, ect. no problems
[19:21] <rocket16> Cinderella: Surely is
[19:21] <knxville> Can you add Tomboy notes to Compiz Widget Layer?
[19:21] <simar> oCean_,  now i think u don;t know the command that inc dec bright ness in nvidia x server???
[19:21] <BluesKaj> yeah Maletor , I saw that error for a while too , but it didn't seem to affect anything.
[19:21] <Maletor> BluesKaj: what did you do?
[19:21] <baraka> hi how can i connect with ssh different port?
[19:21] <oCean_> simar: sorry, nope
[19:22] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: running demanding games doesn't prove anything, but I understand what you're saying, the fact that ubuntu complained about a hardware problem with sound, then won't allow you to put input in does not look software related as sound and input are two totally seperate subsystems
[19:22] <llutz> baraka: ssh -p 2335 host
[19:22] <BluesKaj> nothing, Maletor .
[19:22] <blue_anna> sudo apt-get install rubygems1.8 gives: update-alternatives: error: alternative gem can't be master: it is a slave of ruby
[19:22] <simar> oCean_, ok no problem /...
[19:22] <Maletor> BluesKaj: what should i do?
[19:22] <blue_anna> even in a freesh install -- how do I install it?
[19:22] <jonathan__> magik, you can change what you want the window size to be by switching the last two numbers around as you wish.  the 300's at the end are the width and height, respectively.
[19:22] <simar> oCean_, hey whats acpi though ...
[19:23] <twomonkies> I did a darn big fail... Just uninstalled wrong dhcp-pkg and now i cant get an IP from my ISP, or DL that pkg agan. How do i solve this?
[19:23] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: just to let you know, i now make sure to wait for that little drum roll sound before switching to a VT. i only need to do that if i log all the way out. but if i wait just a couple seconds and let the drum roll sound play before switching to a vt, then no problem, everything's fine
[19:23] <oCean_> simar: "adv config and power interface" handles all those kind of events
[19:23] <mickster04> simar what are you trying to do with the acpi?
[19:24] <mickster04> twomonkies: i think u can install it from cd....
[19:24] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: why are you switcing to a VT ?
[19:24] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: are you switching to a vt because you can't login via gdm ?
[19:24] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: call me anal, but i prefer to close everything out, and log out, before using a vt, to restart X
[19:24] <BluesKaj> baraka, you need to change the port setting in /etc/sshd_config
[19:24] <twomonkies> mickster04: oh... never thought of that. Will dl and test, tnx
[19:24] <Dantix> hi all, I'm having problems to connect my just installed netbook to a wifi AP using WPA, if I configure the AP to use WEP the netbook connects flawlessly. What could I doing wrong? Here my messages.. http://pastebin.com/NfWHBEyi
[19:24] <magik> jonathan__: cheers =] thats great exactly what i wanted thanks a lot!
[19:24] <Maletor> BluesKaj: this is exit status 5 not 4
[19:25] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: how do you know it's an X issue (again just trying to sound out the problem properly)
[19:25] <mickster04> twomonkies: wellif you can downlaod the iso, downlaod the deb file you removed?
[19:25] <simar> mickster04, my brightness control from function keys is not working ... its a great prob for me ... cos i'm only bale to control brightness using nvidia x server ...    dialog box appers but brightness does't changes ???
[19:25] <jonathan__> magik, no problem.  I also noticed that the command I sent you resets the window to the (0,0) position on the screen.. that can also be fixed by changing the second and third 0's in the command to whatever you wish. :)
[19:26] <Method_man_> how to recode my dekstop screen on ubuntu
[19:26] <Method_man_> any one know?
[19:26] <oCean_> simar: have you searched https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu for "nvidia brightness control" ? Might render some helpful info... (and in best case a patch)
[19:26] <magik> jonathan__: Yeah i noticed that also, thanks a lot man I really appreciate it =]
[19:26] <BluesKaj> Maletor, is the error causing an apparent problem , or are you just worried ?
[19:26] <rocket16> Method_man_: Do you mean Record? If so, use Istanbul Desktop Session Recorder (install it from Software Centre)
[19:27] <Maletor> BluesKaj: the latter
[19:27] <jonathan__> magik, not a problem.  I'm glad you were able to find what you needed. :)
[19:27] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: i have restarted X at times for a few reasons, due to giving tech support in here. for instance. in Lucid, some peeps have not been able to get an x-cursor-theme installed from a .tar.gz from gnome-look.org. well, i worked at it for quite a while one day, and eventually figured out how to get them fully and properly installed. but to see and/or test the results, you have to restart X
[19:27] <simar> oCean_, thats sounds useful .. wait i'm trying
[19:27] <magik> jonathan__: I've been using ubuntu and xubuntu for about a month now and I'm just getting used to it. I love it much more than windows.
[19:27] <oCean_> simar: have to run, but good luck with that!
[19:28] <TheGrammarFreak> Yo, I would like to install the amazon mp3 downloader, but I get this error: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libboost-filesystem1.34.1" Does anyone know a work-around?
[19:28] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: sorry, not what I meant. I meant why are you restarting X or switching to VT's to login / out ?
[19:28] <mawst> Dude I really wish someone could tell me what recent updates fixed that made machine not sluggish anymore.
[19:28] <rocket16> magik: Glad to see you using Ubuntu, :) Thanks, :) I personally like more and more people to use Ubuntu-Linux
[19:28] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: well, i think i just explained one reason why i restarted X
[19:29] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: not in relation to the problem you're having
[19:29] <magik> rocket16: =] Why are you saying thanks?
[19:29] <jonathan__> magik, that's great! :)
[19:30] <kop> I think it's great too , what were we talking about ?
[19:30] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: no, it's just that i encountered the bug when doing so. there are symptoms, and causes. i don't know the cause, only the symptom
[19:30] <rocket16> TheGrammarFreak: You need to install that package, to do so, use this command in terminal: sudo apt-get install libboost-filesystem1.40.0
[19:31] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: ok, I see
[19:31] <rocket16> magik: I thanked, since you made your way to Ubuntu. So, we now have +1 Ubuntu user, :) And thus grows our Communtiy
[19:31] <rocket16> * community
[19:31] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: or maybe i didn't say that quite right. but anyway, i only wanted to restart X. i know i probably didn't need to log all the way, then go to a VT... but, i did
[19:31] <TheGrammarFreak> rocket16, I thought GDebi pulled in dependencies
[19:31] <magik> rocket16: Ahhh i see =] Cool :)
[19:32] <magik> rocket16: My #ubuntu terminal is 100% always open (Unless my computer is off :P)
[19:32] <rocket16> TheGrammarFreak: Sometimes it might not, so try that command. Does it work? :)
[19:32] <rocket16> magik: Great! :D
[19:32] <magik> =]
[19:32] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: not a big deal to me. this is the only thing that i've encountered that i have to watch out for. and now that i know, it's ok. just thought perhaps i should mention it, and perhaps report it as a bug... that's all
[19:32] <TheGrammarFreak> rocket16, I dunno, I just found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478214 And I'm not sure which to do now :D
[19:33] <Spyzer> is there any tool which generates a pictorial representation of include files in a code base???
[19:34] <Spyzer> or any tool which can help me visualizing any codebase ??
[19:34] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: certainly worth noting a bug, the question is where
[19:34] <BluesKaj> Maletor, exit status 5 appears to be failure of a script trying to start in runlevel 5 , probly related to a graphics problem according to google-linux , but it wasn't absolute
[19:34] <rocket16> TheGrammarFreak: No problem, just try that command in terminal first: sudo apt-get install libboost-filesystem1.40.0 and then, type: sudo dpkg -i *.deb and the others, :)
[19:34] <TheGrammarFreak> rocket16, I get the same error after installing that package, I'll try the stuff in that forum post
[19:34] <TheGrammarFreak> But thanks anyway rocket16
[19:34] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: exactly! and i understand what you said at first, hard to know where to put this one
[19:34] <onetinsoldier> :-)
[19:35] <rocket16> TheGrammarFreak: My pleasure, :)
[19:35] <Maletor> BluesKaj: what should i do?
[19:35] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: from your description it does sound hardware related (the input is key there) you may want to try cutting down the history and just logging it as a straight bug in gdm not accepting input
[19:35] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: might ba an issue with Alsa X-Fi driver
[19:35] <onetinsoldier> be*
[19:36] <rocket16> TheGrammarFreak: One thing, go to Synaptic once, and search for libboost-filesystem and see, which version is installed. Uninstall it, and then, try installing the latest version, i.e 1.40.0
[19:36] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: that wouldn't effect input
[19:36] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: ahh, roger. i understand what you're saying. but boy, does this go beyond gdm i think, hehe
[19:37] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: I would agree, but you have to start somewhere
[19:37] <wise_crypt> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2xfwQGm1tY << tauchpad
[19:37] <Zela> Hey whats the channel for anope?
[19:38] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: i think i should let you. after this happens, i get no sound whatsoever anymore. when i'd boot, i wouldn't get the little drum roll sound when gdm came up anymore. sound was kaput. the second time this happened, i though, rather than reinstall, i'd try different kernel to see if that would clear it out. no dice
[19:38] <TheGrammarFreak> rocket16, I have it working now, apparently both versions, 1.4 and 1.34 can co-exist fine. :D
[19:38] <opelig> 'ubuntu de
[19:38] <opelig> #ubuntu de
[19:38] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: i thought*
[19:38] <Bytehway> question re: hadoop support
[19:38] <llutz> opelig: /j #ubuntu-de
[19:39] <Bytehway> currently the ColumnFamilyInputFormat does not support using a key range (see: http://www.mail-archive.com/user@cassandra.apache.org/msg01999.html)
[19:39] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: I'd keep this as a gdm bug - then progress from there, as gdm is what plays the sound (well using gnome it does)
[19:39] <onetinsoldier> ikonia: roger. thanks for the help and for listening. i appreciate it
[19:39] <Spyzer> ..........
[19:39] <ikonia> onetinsoldier: any time
[19:40] <ikonia> Spyzer: what ?
[19:40] <jeff__> hello
[19:40] <Bytehway> in the "Hadoop, BigData and Cassandra with Johnathan Ellis" podcast on "All Things Hadoop" he says that 0.7 will support a mapreduce input format with key range support
[19:40] <kop> ikonia, kidding aside I have ran into a few version mismatches but as of yet nothing on my weird hardware to do w/ gdm other than one will restart w/ "service" and the other requires /etc/init.d/ ~
[19:40] <cornflake> hey
[19:40] <xXRyuXx> Hey, I plan to install BT4 onto my usb stick. But Can i do this when i am currently using it as a Live-Usb?
[19:40] <Spyzer> is there any tool which generates a pictorial representation of include files in a code base???
[19:40] <kop> Uninstall libtorrent-rasterbar and qbittorrent, then
[19:40] <kop> reinstall qbittorrent. was one such issue
[19:40] <Spyzer>  any tool which can help me visualizing any codebase ??
[19:40] <Bytehway> I'm looking at the 0.7 roadmap (http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@cassandra.apache.org/msg00404.html) and i dont see it on there, and i dont see a ticket for it in the apache jira either
[19:40] <ikonia> kop: version miss-matches, what do you mean ?
[19:40] <Bytehway> so, is it reallly coming, or not?
[19:41] <Docteh> huh
[19:41] <xXRyuXx> Hey, I plan to install BT4 onto my usb stick. But Can i do this when i am currently using it as a Live-Usb?
[19:41] <llutz> !backtrack | xXRyuXx

[19:43] <BluesKaj> Maletor, is your graphics card working ok, do you have the resolution that your monitor is capable of , 3D and DIR etc or any audio problems ?
[19:43] <kop> ikona it was just a simple case of remove reinstall
[19:44] <xXRyuXx> errr.... I cant seem to talk in the #backtrack-linux channel, it just says that it my messages cant be sent >.>
[19:44] <ikonia> xXRyuXx: talk to their channel operators or ask for help in #freenode
[19:44] <rocket16> n8w: Lol, :) Anything to say to me, friend?
[19:44] <xXRyuXx> alright, ill try.
[19:44] <kyubutsu> maybe you need to register your nick too, xXRyuXx
[19:44] <kop> why one instance of gdm  will restart w/ "service" and the other requires /etc/init.d/ ~

[19:47] <caac> !wine

[19:50] <blue_anna> how do you skip the update alternatives section of a package?
[19:50] <kop> Error: I am only a bot, please don't think you are  intelligent :)
[19:51] <timyeung> My brother MFC-240c printer is receiving data but no pages are printing. I have CUPS and the LPR packages installed from the brother website. any suggestions?
[19:51] <og01> hi whats that music app that comes with ubuntu?
[19:52] <timyeung> og01, that would be rhytmbox
[19:52] <og01> thanks
[19:52] <Guest20334> how do you check the uptime ? what's the command?
[19:52] <og01> uptime
[19:52] <og01> :)
[19:52] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: what do you mean by 'update alternatives'?
[19:52] <llutz> Guest20334: uptime
[19:53] <Guest20334> llutz lol ok i didn't know it was that simple!!!
[19:53] <dbreddy> msg chanserv invite #python
[19:53] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: the update alternatives section of the install script for rubygems1.8 is broken, and cannot be --forced-yes to get past -- in the post-installation part of the install
[19:53] <timyeung> Guest20334, you will be surprised at how simple so many things are with ubuntu
[19:53] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: there's like 100 or so apps that maintain alternatives in /etc/alternatives, rather than just using a standard redirection routine
[19:54] <BluesKaj> onetinsoldier, that's a cli method of choosing an app as default , from several candidates , like a browser
[19:54] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: roger. hmm, wonder if it's been reported as a bug. anyway, i'm not sure how you'd get past that other than to edit the postinst script
[19:54] <rocket16> og01: It is Rhythmbox Player
[19:55] <og01> rocket16: thanks
[19:55] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: you want to edit the file?
[19:55] <poincare101> holy ... crap. There's a lot of people here.
[19:55] <purerumble> hi all.
[19:55] <rocket16> og01: No problem. You can also use other free and open-source players, like Exaile, Banshee, Amarok and many more, which you can get at Software-Centre
[19:55] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: I installed this with a commandline flag before, just can't remember it this time
[19:55] <purerumble> having lucid, what packages do i need for nvidia card?
[19:55] <onetinsoldier> BluesKaj: roger. apparently  blue_anna was referring to something else though ;-)
[19:55] <BluesKaj> poincare101, but only about 10% actaully involve themselves
[19:56] <kop> poincare101, if by people you mean intelligent human beings , ummm , not so many
[19:56] <rocket16> Hello purerumble, :)
[19:56] <poincare101> lol.
[19:56] <og01> rocket16: yeah, was tryign to remember it for another distro  i use
[19:56] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: ok, i could look at the man page, or you could just try.. --force-all
[19:56] <purerumble> rocket16: why hello :D
[19:56] <BluesKaj> onetinsoldier, yeah, that became quite obvious very quickly :)
[19:56] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: oo thanks
[19:56] <og01> rocket16: anything you would recomend that'll likely support my sony mp3 player?
[19:56] <ser_ji> hello people! there are people speaking in Russian?
[19:56] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: maybe that was it
[19:56] <onetinsoldier> BluesKaj: :-)
[19:56] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: roger, it might have been
[19:56] <og01> rocket16: possibly re-encode files to supported formats for the device?
[19:57] <BluesKaj> !ru |ser_ji
[19:57] <nmvictor> is their commandline download application in ubuntu that would bypass my univeristy proxy  download restrictions on certain sites, a stand alone alternative to web based services like vimuto, ninjaproxy and such
[19:57] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: --force-all is not understood
[19:57] <kop> ser_ji, no actually they are just talking gibberish to themselves
[19:57] <rocket16> og01: Sure, Amarok is the best for that purpose, but as it is for KDE, you can use Rhythmbox too. Mostly all of them support such devices, while extended by plugins.
[19:57] <ser_ji> thanks
[19:57] <kop> wlcome
[19:58] <rocket16> purerumble: I said hello, as you said "hi all" earlier, :)
[19:58] <shiftingcontrol> anybody know ebdevelopment IRC channel?
[19:58] <og01> rocket16: thanks i'll compair features of Amarok and Rythmbox
[19:58] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: let's see the command you are trying to use
[19:58]  * BluesKaj has to unlearn gibberish
[19:58] <purerumble> rocket16, "why hello" is a classic way to say "hello", mostly used in england in the old days :)
[19:58] <blue_anna> (LANG=C && sudo apt-get --force-all install rubygems1.8)
[19:58] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: because, --forece-all should be valid according to the man page
[19:58] <Guest20334> what are some games you can download and and play for free in ubuntu? (FPSes)
[19:59] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: I didnt see taht in my man page -- I'm on lucid, maybe it's different?
[19:59] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: it's in there, it's one of the first things under the --force options
[19:59] <purerumble> I had some trouble with my nvidia driver and removed some packages. what packages are installed in lucid for nvidia drivers per default?
[19:59] <og01> Guest20334: http://sauerbraten.org/
[19:59] <rocket16> Guest20334: See this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427205 to get a list of excellent games for Ubuntu
[20:00] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: there's only one force option in my man page: --force-yes
[20:00] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: i am also on Lucid. --force-all has been around for years, and it's still in the man page. are you reading  man dpkg ?
[20:00] <rocket16> purerumble: Ah, nice. I am from India actually, :) So could not get that at first, :) Well, thanks most dearly, for wishing "hello", :)
[20:00] <Guest20334> og01 cool i'm going to try that one out
[20:01] <og01> Guest20334: there are many others
[20:01] <BluesKaj> purerumble, depends on your nvidia card , most will have a kernel source driver available when the install read hardware
[20:01] <Guest20334> og01 you got one like halo?
[20:01] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: no, I'm using apt-get so I did man apt-get
[20:01] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: ahh! ah-ha!
[20:01] <og01> Guest20334: you looking for single or multiplayer - and no not really :(
[20:02] <og01> Guest20334: though wine might run it i guess
[20:02] <simar> hey what is hal???
[20:02] <BluesKaj> BBL ...errands

[20:03] <og01> Guest20334: I've played a few in my time - but it's been a while
[20:03] <rocket16> Guest20334: Also, games like Nexuiz, Cube, Wesnoth, Extreme-Tux-Racer, Tuxcart, Tileracer, Supertux, Glest etc. are free and great on Linux. Also, Warzone is a nice new game for Linux.
[20:03] <asraniel> hi, i have VERY frequent crashes with skype. anybody ever seen this error message? (there is a segfault directly afterwards) skype: ../../../src/control/hcontrol.c:326: _snd_hctl_find_elem: Assertion `hctl && id' failed.

[20:04] <onetinsoldier> n8w: :-)
[20:04] <n8w> vallhalla:  ye i like nano too
[20:04] <rocket16> n8w: Actually, for programming, the best is Geany, which is an editor
[20:04] <simar> another question ... what does m etc folder contain and what does /usr lib contain  eventually /usr/lib/hal
[20:04] <xomp_> hey folks, I have an .sh file that I would like to have ran every night @ midnight via a cronjob, however I know nothing about cronjobs and was hoping someone can tell me what I should put in my crontab to have this script run each night @ midnight?
[20:04] <og01> Guest20334: theres a team based one where you play as either aliens or human and you can purchance weapons and build bases n stuff
[20:04] <n8w> what about jedit?
[20:04] <duffydack> Anyone else noticed after installing cryptsetup the boot time is doubled and sometimes the wireless module doesnt get loaded.. ?
[20:04] <rocket16> n8w: I mean, editor + ide. Also, for general purposes, Gedit is nice.
[20:04] <og01> Guest20334: just cant remember what its called right now
[20:04] <n8w> rocket16:  just readin about it;)
[20:04] <blue_anna> onetinsoldier: same error, no success
[20:04] <rocket16> n8w: Jedit is nice, but for being made in Java, it is a bit slow. (As Java is interpreted_
[20:04] <kop> n8w, if a "real" choice then acme from the plan9 repos
[20:05] <Guest20334> og01 starcraft?
[20:05] <n8w> rocket16:  ye thats why im kinda afraid of it...
[20:05] <tic^> !ot
[20:05] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: ok, my first thought was, the postinst script would need to be edited. one moment
[20:05] <og01> Guest20334: thats rts, im talking fps
[20:05] <xomp_> or actually, anyone know where cronjobs are stored in a backup so I can restore it?
[20:05] <vallhalla> og01: alian arena
[20:05] <Guest20334> og01 avp?
[20:05] <og01> Guest20334: Tremulous
[20:05] <vallhalla> og or openarena
[20:06] <jack_> how could I run the 3D visual effect of Ubuntu in vmware machine
[20:06] <og01> Guest20334: its pretty cool - but its aging slightly
[20:06] <rocket16> n8w: No problem. If you take my view, use Geany for Programming + Editing, and Gedit for general editing. Also, Kate is a bit slow in GNOME, for Klibs are to be loaded.

[20:17] <alise> So, how bad is removing ubuntu-desktop exactly? Does it actually break updates?
[20:17] <rocket16> magik: You are most welcome, my friend, :) Glad to know you liked
[20:17] <onetinsoldier> alise: i don't think so, no
[20:17] <Flannel> alise: It won't affect you until you upgrade from a version to the next (10.04 to 10.10, for instance) and if you use update-manager to do that upgrade, it'll take care of it.
[20:17] <trism> dubbe: easiest would be to uninstall evolution, you could also delete /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution instead. it is supposed to be possible to copy that file to ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist/ but I haven't been able to get that to work consistently
[20:18] <alise> Flannel: Right then, I'll just go ahead and purge the vital system package known as ALSA.
[20:18] <alise> Flannel: It's a good thing I know what I'm doing, or this would arguably be insanely stupid.
[20:18] <alise> onetinsoldier: Flannel: Thanks for the help.
[20:18] <onetinsoldier> alise: it just a package that points to a lot of other dependencies. it doesn't actually provide anything in and of itself i don't hink
[20:18] <dubbe> trism: uninstall should be the best solution, thank you very much...
[20:18] <trism> dubbe: that is, copy it and then the indicator applet should ignore it (may or may not work though)
[20:18] <onetinsoldier> think*
[20:18] <onetinsoldier> alise: you're welcome
[20:19] <jpsurfling> can't solve a problem with my SD/MMC card reader in lucid
[20:19] <MaximLevitsky> jpsurfling: what vendor?
[20:19] <dan2> hey guys
[20:19] <rocket16> Hello Dan2
[20:20] <jpsurfling> TI
[20:20] <jpsurfling> texas instruments
[20:20] <dan2> I compiled my kernel with make-kpkg --initrd, and it doesn't seem to be generating the initrd on install
[20:20] <Guest20334> og01 sauerbraten hey i just downloaded it now how do i install it?
[20:20] <minimec> jpsurfling: the cardreader is not working in the Compaq nc6000 and nc8000 series...
[20:20] <jpsurfling> already tried a lot of solutions
[20:20] <jpsurfling> oh
[20:20] <MaximLevitsky> jpsurfling: ok, don't know that one
[20:20] <jpsurfling> is that right?
[20:20] <MaximLevitsky> jpsurfling: only can give general advice
[20:20] <slacker_nl> does anyone know a good financial application for linux?
[20:21] <slacker_nl> bookkeeping app :)
[20:21] <Guest20334> og01 hey i just downloaded sauerbraten now how do i install it?
[20:21] <Flannel> slacker_nl: Have you tried gnucash?
[20:21] <minimec> jpsurfling: No chance for the card reader. I have a nc8000. The cardreader is not working with linux... (no compatible driver)
[20:21] <rocket16> slacker_nl: Use GnuCash, KMyMoney and much more, :)
[20:21] <jpsurfling> fact: card is inserted and lucid see that it's there but doesn't mount anything
[20:21] <onetinsoldier> slacker_nl: you might have a look at wxbanker too
[20:21] <MaximLevitsky> jpsurfling: what card you use (SD/MMC/XD/MEMSTICK)?
[20:21] <jpsurfling> SD
[20:21] <purerumble> the link valhalla provided didnt help. So currently I have NO nvidia drivers installed. What packages should i install to obtain nvidia drivers for my nvidia geforce gt 220m?
[20:22] <magik> Can anyone help me download conky and run a script?
[20:22] <MaximLevitsky> jpsurfling: you insert the card and...
[20:22] <slacker_nl> Flannel: gnucash can be used for professional use? (advanced enough)?
[20:22] <jpsurfling> and nothing happens
[20:22] <slacker_nl> onetinsoldier: kthnx
[20:22] <MaximLevitsky> jpsurfling: ok
[20:22] <Flannel> slacker_nl: Yep.  I've never done it personally, but there are sections in the manual on that stuff.
[20:22] <slacker_nl> Flannel: k, will give it a shot
[20:22] <Guest20334> hey i just downloaded sauerbraten now how do i install it?
[20:23] <MaximLevitsky> jpsurfling: look at dmesg, especially at last lines after you insert the card
[20:23] <jpsurfling> there's a command that i can't remember right now where we can see that there are something inserted
[20:23] <jpsurfling> that's it "dmesg"
[20:23] <rocket16> slacker_nl: I think for professional use, KMyMoney is better. Also, Eqonomize is a great application for professionals. Qalculate downloads the exchange rates, so it is a good financial calculator.
[20:23] <soreau> magik: Is there some specific problem you're having?
[20:24] <magik> soreau: No just last time i tried on xubuntu it wouldnt work.
[20:24] <jpsurfling> dmesg tells me that card is inserted
[20:24] <slacker_nl> rocket16: i don't need exchange rates, but why is kmymoney better for pro use?
[20:24] <inconsiderable> Good day all , is it better to upgarde from 9.04 to 10.04 or redownload image of 10.04 ?
[20:24] <jpsurfling> but when i remove it it continues do say "card present"
[20:25] <mirat> hi i installed ubuntu via wubi, than now i deleted c:\ubuntu\ folder from my windows, did i delete my ubuntu now? its not opening :S
[20:25] <soreau> magik: 'doesnt work' doesn't help
[20:25] <slacker_nl> inconsiderable: download the alternate for 9.10 and 10.04 and do the upgrade :)
[20:25] <soreau> ! work | magik
[20:25] <MaximLevitsky> jpsurfling: could you pastebin the dmesg
[20:25] <dubbe> mirat: I think you did... yes...
[20:25] <jpsurfling> i'll be back in a sec
[20:25] <jpsurfling> i'm in a Windows machine
[20:25] <onetinsoldier> blue_anna: any luck?
[20:25] <rocket16> slacker_nl: Because it has additional options like Inteenet Credit cards, Account balancing, and updates your bank accounts, helps to make online payments and so.
[20:25] <jpsurfling> must chance to my linux notebook
[20:25] <alabd> slacker_nl:  alternate ?
[20:26] <mirat> :S dubbe i thought that it created it's own partition. was it my c:\ ? damn there was important files :S
[20:26] <simar> hey i know the commands to control the brightness of my lapatop $ nvidia-settings --assign GreenBrightness=0.5   but don't know how to integrage it to function keys .. i mean which are the scripts and all .. could anyon eplease help me out ?????
[20:26] <aganice> hey, can anyone help me figure out how to determine why my lucid install freezes up once every day or two?
[20:26] <magik> soreau: IDK It worked the first time but it was just a black box with stuff in. Then i restarted and tried to open in terminal and ALT+F2 then it wouldn't work. I just need someone to guide me through it.
[20:26] <slacker_nl> rocket16: k
[20:26] <slacker_nl> alabd: alternate CD :)
[20:27] <rocket16> aganice: Does it get hanged everyday during start? Or simply craches at bootup?
[20:27] <dubbe> mirat: i havn't played with wubi myself, but i think the whole point is that it installs alongside with windows without creating a separate partition
[20:27] <soreau> magik: What are you running in the terminal and alt+f2? this is conky? does it give any interesting output?
[20:27] <minimec> jpsurfling: found something.... http://bb.cactii.net/archives/000174.php --> SD/MMC cardreader  Detected, needs a small tweak to work  Use "setpci -s 02:06.2 4c.b=02" to get it working
[20:27] <magik> soreau: I don't understand what you mean.
[20:27] <purerumble> i'm running lucid lynx. what packages do i need to install to obtain nvidia drivers? my card is geforce gt 220m
[20:27] <aganice> rocket16, the screen freezes and becomes unresponsive during normal use, not at bootup or shutdown or any other pattern i can see
[20:27] <minimec> jpsurfling: the nc8000 has definitly a different chip... as your nc6400
[20:28] <soreau> magik: You said you are running something from your terminal that doesn't work. What are you running?
[20:28] <rocket16> dubbe:  mirat: Yes, it creates a Virtual Disk within drives of Windows, and makes an entry in bootmenu of Windows. But disk performance is reduced slightly,
[20:28] <jpsurfling> thanks i'll try to apply that tweak
[20:28] <aganice> rocket16, ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't restart the session either
[20:28] <tamp4x> hello, I would like o find out what /dev device my usb drive is, how would i go about doing this?  I tried ls /dev >a; ls /dev >b; diff a b  but no luck
[20:28] <onetinsoldier> purerumble: have you tried?   System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers
[20:28] <mirat> rocket16, ok than my ubuntu is still there or i deleted it ?
[20:28] <magik> soreau: Well someone told me to start conky i had to go in the terminal and type conky.
[20:28] <kahen> I just noticed what appears a rendering issue with firefox. lower case 'a' in the Helvetica font drops far below baseline.  http://wowriot.gameriot.com/blogs/World-of-Ming/Picking-up-a-Sponsor-TR-Has-Begun-Fall-of-the-Wizards (first page i saw it on).
[20:28] <overclocker> i couldn't use ubuntuone because i have a problem with couchdb, anyone could help me please
[20:29] <rocket16> purerumble: Go to System-Administration-Hardware Drivers, and see what are suggested there. If any extra is needed, it will be shown there.
[20:29] <mirat> rocket16, i hope i deleted mbr or something, ubuntu is still there
[20:29] <Guest38832> I have a pretty uncommon question, is there any awesome people in here?
[20:29] <soreau> magik: Ok, now you say it doesnt work. Does that mean it is not displaying or it returns quickly in the terminal? Does it give any interesting output?
[20:29] <Guest38832> I mean, really awesome ones?
[20:30] <rocket16> aganice: During crash, press Ctrl+Alt+F2, and login there. Then, enter this command: killall -user username (username is your username there actually)
[20:30] <guntbert> !ot | Guest38832
[20:30] <magik> soreau: It does not display
[20:30] <alabd> slacker_nl:  in that case is not it better to download  10.04 directly ?
[20:30] <jackhe22> Hi all

[20:36] <kim27> so I'm kinda stumped. I have install ubuntu 10.04 and I am trying to get dual screen to work with a Radeo 9200 SE. (Earlier I installed the nvidia drivers because I was using a nvidia card) Now when I try and use duel screen on my ATI card, it seems to configure everything correctly, as I my mouse can go outside of the first monitor, but the second monitor is simply a clone of the first monitor. I used xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto
[20:36] <kim27>  --right-of VGA-0. I'm not sure where to go from here....
[20:38] <onetinsoldier> kim27: i don't know, but i have my doubts that, that old of an ati card suuports what you're trying to do. i mean, that is an old video card isn't it?
[20:39]  * onetinsoldier goes to see what kind of video card his Sinclair Spectrum ZX has for comparison :P
[20:39] <kim27> onetinsoldier, yes it is an older video card. I find it hard that to believe that it would only support cloning. However, ...I suppose I could check
[20:39] <onetinsoldier> kim27: yeah, i'd check on it
[20:40] <kirsteI> quick question: in lucid lynx, where would I check for logs to see whats causing random shutdowns?
[20:40] <jpsurfling_> ok i've done what you asked but returned :pcilib: Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:06.2/config

[20:45] <jpsurfling_> i've done this "setpci -s 02:06.2 4c.b=02" and my system returned "pcilib: Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:06.2/config"
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Thegrammarfreak: http://www.granneman.com/techinfo/linux/installation/dualheadhowto.htm
[20:46] <alabd> what is the difference between alternate and desktop editions ?
[20:46] <ikonia> the installer routine only
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Alabd: alternate install in text mode and has no livecd option
[20:46] <ikonia> one is a gui based installer the other is based ncurses
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> Alabd: you can also use the alternate to upgrade to the next release offline which you can't do with the desktop iso
[20:47] <Guest1337> U
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> Alabd: the installer gets going faster with alternate as you don't have to load a full x server and de
[20:48] <jpsurfling_> i have a HP Compaq nc6400 and my SD/MMC card doesn't work... done this: "setpci -s 02:06.2 4c.b=02" and returned this "pcilib: Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:06.2/config"
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> TheGrammarFreak: you can use that as a base and tweak more precidely to your needs, should be ok
[20:49] <TheGrammarFreak> ActionParsnip, Hmm... I'll see what I can do with it, but what does "DPMS" mean?
[20:49] <alabd> ActionParsnip:  it can upgrade offline how ?with CDs ?
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> Thegrammarfreak: I think its power management stuff for monitors
[20:50] <Doyle> Q: tray notifications appear an inch or so below the tray, where can the location be adjusted?
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> Alabd: there is a method to get the next realease if you use the alternate iso/ cd of the next release
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> Alabd: there's the method on the upgrade documentation online
[20:51] <alabd> for example to upgarde from 9.04 to 10.04 with it any CDS and packages how it will ?
[20:52] <xangua> alabd: you can't upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04
[20:52] <guntbert> !upgrade | alabd

Old ATI cards: Use Xrander (same as INtel) Newer ATI cards. (the whole HDxx series): You can decide between the opensource or the property driver. If you use the property driver, then use the GUI of the property driver to configure dual screen. Normally you don't have

[20:56] <TheGrammarFreak> minimec, what you just said. The GUI config stuff *doesn't work*
[20:57] <randerzander> Can anyone help me with an Ubuntu 2.6.34 kernel image install problem? Some scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d fail to execute - namely symlink-hook.. is this important?

[20:57] <TheGrammarFreak> minimec, nVidia G102M, the config stuff that's with that
[20:57] <elux> is it all in /etc/init.d ?
[20:58] <happyface> you can always upgrade incrementally from one version to the next, I don't see the problem here, boys

[20:58] <guntbert> randerzander: what version of ubuntu?
[20:58] <jpsurfling> what kind of release should i install in a 384 MB RAM machine?
[20:58] <randerzander> 10.04
[20:58] <minimec> TheGrammarFreak: Did you compilöe the driver of the website?? You didn't try the ubuntu solution <hardware <drivers?
[20:59] <onetinsoldier> matyd: or perhaps...  dpkg -l kdelib*|grep ^ii

[21:03] <infid> owen1: wlan is wireless
[21:03] <trism> private_meta: do you have universe enabled?
[21:03] <elux> is there a program to help me manipulate what scripts start up on boot?
[21:03] <elux> sysvinit or osmething?
[21:03] <elux> rc-conf ..
[21:03] <acerimmer_> liminal: so did you run chkdsk /f?
[21:03] <bricky> what's the best disk manager for ubuntu to see where most of your space is used up?
[21:03] <owen1> infid: thanks. why wicd-client can't find any networks?
[21:03] <phoenix__> elux: it is, but i dont remember the name
[21:03] <private_meta> trism: in my sources.list, there's a line "deb http..... universe ...", so i assume it's enabled
[21:03] <f00bar80> Is there any good guide on how to setup pptp vpn server in ubuntu 10.04 ??
[21:03] <onetinsoldier> private_meta: might be a problem with your /etc/apt/sources.list file. don't know. want me to see if i can install it? apt-cache shows it as available
[21:03] <Daekdroom> private_meta, it's not enabled if there's a # before it
[21:04] <infid> owen1: who knows
[21:04] <owen1> infid: i have BCM4312
[21:04] <phoenix__> i manipulete this scripts by hands
[21:04] <private_meta> Daekdroom: that I know, it's not commented out
[21:04] <minimec> TheGrammarFreak: Well... That's another story,. Could be that your card only supports a maximal resolution of the two screens (like one 1600x1050 only allows a second 1024x768).
[21:04] <TheGrammarFreak> minimec, Windows does this fine
[21:05] <TheGrammarFreak> minimec, Linux should too
[21:05] <minimec> TheGrammarFreak: Ok. So that shouldn't be the problem.
[21:05] <minimec> TheGrammarFreak: I agree.
[21:05] <gusl> hello all, I'm trying to upgrade my Ubuntu from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS, but the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Desktops%20(Recommended) aren't working. No message appears informing me about the availability of the new release.
[21:05] <bricky> anybody know the run command for Graphical Disk Map,?
[21:06] <onetinsoldier> gusl: what happens when you try? --> sudo do-release-upgrade ?
[21:06] <acerimmer_> gusl: what message does update manger give?
[21:06] <jpsurfling> what kind of release should i install in a 384 MB RAM machine?
[21:06] <guntbert> bricky: applications/accessories/graphical diskmap
[21:06] <elux> hey guys
[21:06] <elux> how can i install a newer kernel version?
[21:06] <acerimmer_> jpsurfling: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
[21:06] <gusl> when I do 'sudo do-release-upgrade', I get: Checking for a new ubuntu release
[21:06] <onetinsoldier> howdy
[21:06] <gusl> No new release found
[21:06] <gusl>  
[21:07] <jpsurfling> thanks:D
[21:07] <onetinsoldier> gusl: roger :-/
[21:07] <elux> im running 2.6.32-22-generic (64bit) .. i want to upgrade to 2.6.33
[21:07] <guntbert> bricky: or gdmap in CLI
[21:07] <gusl> onetinsoldier: roger?
[21:07] <onetinsoldier> gusl: it juast means, 'acknowledged'
[21:07] <onetinsoldier> just*
[21:07] <gusl> ok
[21:08] <gusl> acerimmer_: the update manager didn't give any noteworthy message
[21:09] <bricky> gunbert: thank you I just found it online
[21:09] <gusl> acerimmer_: it upgraded packages successfully
[21:09] <acerimmer_> onetinsoldier: repos?  cuz I can't think of anything that would kill an distro updgrade on gusl's box
[21:09] <onetinsoldier> gusl: i don't know for certain, but i think your /etc/apt/sources.list file plays a role in searching for new versions. you might need to paste on a pastebin and give url so people here can look it over. again, i'm not certain
[21:10] <skulski> I have the install CD up and running, but the networkmanager shows only some wireless connections but not mine. iwlist wlan0 scan shows the same thing. does anyone know what this would be indicative of?
[21:10] <elux> i gotta tell you guys
[21:10] <onetinsoldier> acerimmer_: yeah, i'm not sure
[21:10] <elux> ubuntu sucks :S
[21:10] <elux> for server anyways
[21:10] <purerumble> Ok... I installed every nvidia package and... surprise... it solved my problem!
[21:10] <elux> for desktops it amazing..
[21:10] <FloodBot3> elux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:10] <skulski> my network is unencrpted btw
[21:10] <elux> for servers it creates a lot of bloat
[21:10] <elux> im just frusterated
[21:10] <purerumble> Now I wanna know what freaking package it was that solved my problem so I can uninstall the rest.
[21:11] <liminal> acerimmer chkdsk /f = command not found
[21:11] <acerimmer_> gusl: maybe you could download the iso and install on top of present partitions.  only thing is 10.04 uses ext4 and 8.04 did not
[21:11] <Eit_> hi all
[21:11] <guntbert> gusl: you might have to wait a bit : I was told that the suggestion to upgrade an LTS is witheld until the "1. point release" due in june (or so)
[21:11] <brontosaurusrexw> elux: ubuntu server edition or what?
[21:12] <minimec> purerumble: hmm... open a terminal and do sudo apt-get autoremove ... That should do...
[21:12] <bricky> gunbert: are there any other cool apps for ubuntu?
[21:12] <Eit_> is there a simple way to make a startup disk of a non ubuntu distro using ubuntu ?
[21:12] <bricky> or very useful  apps
[21:12] <Eit_> I mean a usb one
[21:12] <elux> brontosaurusrexw: yes. i installed it on new hardware and im getting kernel errors for whatever reason. i think the kernel is too old for my nehalem system
[21:12] <onetinsoldier> guntbert: i read it was going to be early july
[21:12] <elux> brontosaurusrexw: which is pretty brutal. im going to install archlinux
[21:12] <guntbert> !tab | bricky
[21:12] <acerimmer_> Eit_: unetbootin google
[21:12] <Eit_> thanks
[21:13] <guntbert> onetinsoldier: you memory might be better than mine - so make it july :-)
[21:13] <bricky> I like the zoom feature myself, compiz fusion doesnt 'fully work' it works somewhat,
[21:13] <onetinsoldier> guntbert: cheers
[21:13] <orangeglo> when you do a sudo apt-get install command, where does that file go directly to??
[21:13] <gusl> onetinsoldier: pasted at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/URrwM7fj
[21:13] <guntbert> bricky: open software center and see for yourself
[21:13] <purerumble> minimec, autoremove removes packages that are not necessary. I installed all those nvidia packages manually. so autoremove wont do
[21:14] <bricky> I cant get the cube or the fire, but I can zoom in, have my windows wobble,
[21:14] <bricky> gunbert: that reminds me, that is repo based huh?
[21:14] <rdz> hi all. is there a CLI based utility to send files to devices over bluetooth? something like gnome's bluetooth-sendto, but without requiring graphic display ?
[21:14] <skulski> I have the install CD up and running, but the networkmanager shows only some wireless connections but not mine. iwlist wlan0 scan shows the same thing. does anyone know what this would be indicative of? I don't think networkmanager can see unencrypted networks?
[21:14] <Dizkonnekted> bricky, you using an Ati radeon card?
[21:15] <soreau> bricky: What doesn't 'fully work' about it?
[21:15] <onetinsoldier> gusl: well, hmmm....  ping -c 2 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com  -  ping: unknown host http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[21:15] <onetinsoldier> oops.. my bad
[21:15] <rdz> skulski, probably your access point is using a channel, that is not supported by your wireless card...
[21:15] <orangeglo> when you do a sudo apt-get install command where does it install that file?
[21:16] <bricky> Dizkonnekted: Yes
[21:16] <minimec> purerumble: That may be true but and somehow maybe not, if we talk about a lib* package with no dependancies... MAybe you find something in the history of synaptic.
[21:16] <skulski> rdz:: it connects fine in windows. could this be a linux driver thing?
[21:16] <onetinsoldier> gusl: ok, that host responded ok. not sure. maybe what guntbert said. wait until service point 1 release? i wouldn't think you'd have to wait though
[21:16] <bricky> soreau: I type compiz in run, screen refreshes, can have some effects but I dont have the fire or the 'ctrl alt' cube
[21:16] <Dizkonnekted> bricky, send me a pm, i have a couple of links you might find useful
[21:16] <rdz> skulski, yeah, but i am not an expert.. i won't be of any help, i guess
[21:17] <gash05> anyone know how to install the intel 2200BG driver?
[21:17] <bricky> Dizkonnekted: ty
[21:17] <onetinsoldier> gusl: maybe we need to see if that host is indeed hosting 'Lucid 10.04'
[21:17] <bp0> why is launchpad so slow
[21:17] <DiEgoR> Anybody here today with grub2 troubleshooting experience?
[21:17] <purerumble> I have the following packages, and wanna know which of them i should remove: nvidia-173, nvidia-current, nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-current-modaliases, nvidia-180-libvdpau, nvidia-glx-173, nvidia-180-modaliases, nvidia-glx-180, nvidia-185-libvdpau, nvidia-glx-185, nvidia-185-modaliases, nvidia-glx-96, nvidia-96, nvidia-kernel-common, nvidia-96-modaliases, nvidia-settings, nvidia-common
[21:18] <purerumble> sorry for the long msg, but really this is bugging me
[21:18] <gusl> onetinsoldier: maybe I could change to a more standard host?
[21:18] <minimec> gash05: Why install it? HArdware problems?
[21:18] <skrite99> if i am in a directory, how can i search the files in that directory for a string of text ? i think grep can, just cant figgure out the args
[21:18] <rdz> skulski, you might try to identify your card and check some forums for support of your card
[21:18] <purerumble> minimec, well I ran autoremove and it gave nothing properl
[21:18] <guntbert> skrite99: grep "search string" *
[21:18] <skrite99> cool, thanks guntbert
[21:19] <rdz> skulski, lspci might help you identify your card
[21:19] <gash05> minimec, yeah my wireless isn't working on my Dell Latitude X300 with ubuntu 9.10
[21:19] <guntbert> skrite99: no problem
[21:19] <skulski> rdz:: thanks. i know my card. i dont think my wireless access point is using a non standard channel
[21:19] <gusl> onetinsoldier: maybe get rid of the ".ca", in case Canada is lagging
[21:19] <onetinsoldier> gusl: at first glance it looks as if it's hosting Lucid, but you could try another. i should probably look the sources.list file over more carefully
[21:19] <rdz> skulski, what is it then? probably i know that it is supposed to work
[21:20] <orangeglo> when you apt-get install a file where does that file go??
[21:20] <minimec> gash05: What do you mean with not working? That module is in the kernel for years...
[21:20] <onetinsoldier> gusl: i'd try it, but i have my doubts you'd see any change
[21:20] <skulski> rdz:: it is a Realtek 8192
[21:20] <skulski> pci
[21:20] <orangeglo> onetinsoldier: whats up man
[21:20] <rdz> skulski, ok.. never had that myself, can't tell how well it is supposed to work in ubuntu
[21:21] <machine> i am currently on a ubuntu system nd trying to dual boot
[21:21] <skulski> rdz:: it's somewhat well supported. i've had realteks for a while and they've had pretty mature drivers
[21:21] <skulski> rdz:: thanks for you help
[21:21] <owen1> i want to replace the nm-applet with wicd. how to make sure nm-applet will not run on boot?
[21:21] <onetinsoldier> orangeglo: hi! just trying to help gusl upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS :-)

[21:25] <squarepeg> it doesn't work because that doesn't exist

[21:28] <the_student> Any tips on using ubuntu as a firewall/local dns/dhcp?
[21:28] <rdz> skulski, someone suggest to switch the router from "wpa2 & wpa" to just "wpa".. don't know if that applies to you as well since this solution is probably also router model dependent
[21:28] <onetinsoldier> gusl: you trying that?
[21:28] <skulski> rdz:: i believe that is a different problem. their interface isn't up.
[21:28] <skulski> rdz:: my access point is unencrypted
[21:28] <gusl> onetinsoldier: trying what?
[21:28] <star314> Today, I replaced on my desktop the old Gentoo setup with a trail installation of Ubuntu 10.04. Compiz seems to work fine except (for me) one annoying thing: If I switch from one workspace to the next (e.g., to the right), the whole desktop moves to the right (i.e., also the icons and the wallpaper). On my previous setup, just the windows moved while the icons and the wallpaper where fixed. Is there an option to replace the previous behavior?
[21:28] <onetinsoldier> gusl: removing the .ca
[21:28] <minimec> gash05: ok. what is the output of lspci for the wifi card? Just the line for the wifi card.
[21:29] <romanrish> ivis: I am a complete noob please help I have a belkin wireless n usb dongle drivers are only compatible w/ windows I am running dual boot of ubuntu 10.04.  first time I have ever run ubuntu before

[21:29] <gusl> I tried to start emacs with 'sudo emacs', but that doesn't do anything
[21:30] <rdz> skulski, i see.

[21:31] <romanrish> ivis: belkin f5d8053
[21:31] <romanrish> thats the adapter

[21:32] <cody_> does no one really know where sudo apt-get files go??
[21:32] <onetinsoldier> gusl: ok. well, i don't want you to break in and mess up anything, but i use 'sudo -i' when i need to. and if it were me, i'd use a 'sed' command as root to edit it
[21:32] <guntbert> mizipzor: not sure if that will be of use, but look at http://www.gnome.org/i18n/
[21:32] <gash05> minimec, there was no wifi output
[21:32] <jrib> cody_: what do you mean?  What are you trying to accomplish?
[21:33] <minimec> gash05: That is the wifi output... ;)
[21:33] <cody_> jrib: well i just did sudo apt-get install ruby, and now im trying to open the recently downloaded file
[21:34] <jrib> cody_: why?  What file is it that you want to open?  You just installed ruby, do you just want to use it?
[21:34] <residentgrey> usr/bin prossibly
[21:34] <mizipzor> guntbert, thanks for the link! but it seems to focus more on changing the language of the environment, which i dont want, i prefer english. what i want to do is modify the existing dvorak layout
[21:34] <cody_> jrib: yes. id like to use it
[21:34] <miked595> Man Which
[21:34] <domino> Hey, my video card has started over heating. Now that it's time for a replacement, I wanted to see if anyone has any empirical experience with ATI cards on linux. A few years ago, both the OSS and closed drivers were flakey. Still the case?
[21:34] <jrib> cody_: #ruby can help you with that.  Or try the ruby website for beginner documentation
[21:34] <gash05> minimec, i see. so what now?
[21:35] <residentgrey> jrib what about checking usr/bin
[21:35] <minimec> gash05: Just tell me why do you want to install an intel 2200BG driver (which is already installed), if you don't even need one?
[21:35] <jrib> residentgrey: he can run irb if he wants, but if he's asking this question, I assume it would be best to just read some documentation
[21:35] <Dizkonnekted> domino, its getting better, send me a pm and ill send you 2 links you might find useful
[21:35] <residentgrey> irb?

[21:36] <residentgrey> im not familiar with ruby at all
[21:36] <gash05> minimec, because my wireless isn't working - or do i need a different driver?

[21:48] <arid> my audieo dose not seem to be working what command must i put the the termnial to install the driver?
[21:48] <mc__> the_student, just do it and ask if you have problems
[21:48] <onetinsoldier> gusl: what's the second line of output from --> head -n 2 /etc/hosts
[21:49] <xomp> umm, how to install crontab from terminal?
[21:49] <gusl> onetinsoldier: it is 127.0.1.1	gusl-laptop
[21:49] <gusl>  
[21:49] <DraZoro> the_student, You can also use iptables for firewall part.
[21:49] <xomp> I tried apt-get install crontab but it didn't work
[21:49] <badcloud> anyone know how to change default volume for gecko mediaplayer plugin?
[21:49] <DraZoro> the_student, google some online tutorials
[21:49] <onetinsoldier> gusl: looks correct. and head /etc/hostname just has this? --> gusl-laptop
[21:50] <Jimmymaniac> Hi. Question: I upgraded to lucid today. Before, i was running firefox 3.0. Now in lucid the file associations are broken. On the firefox preferences, the only associations shown are for plugins, but none from the system are shown or used
[21:50] <magik> Hey guys, I am halfway through coding my own conky config and i am wondering. Would it be possible to interpratate some sort of irc or terminal into the actual conky thing???
[21:50] <Jimmymaniac> apt:// links fail too
[21:50] <Jimmymaniac> i already apt-get purged it all, and deleted /etc/firefox*
[21:50] <gusl> onetinsoldier: exactly
[21:51] <kv102t_> why should I install ubuntu 64bit instead of 32bit. (My pc is 64bit) ??
 It is a stupid idea to update, i musted reinstall my comp for that, tri staing on Carmic koala
[21:51] <Jimmymaniac> ideas on where to look? i already deleted mimeTypes.rdf and let it regenerate, but the problem continued
[21:51] <skulski> kv102t_:: how much ram
[21:52] <kv102t_> 2GB
[21:52] <minimec> magik: Maybe, but it wouldn't make sense, as you would have to connect to a chat session...
[21:52] <onetinsoldier> gusl: i don't know. you'll have to sort that out i think. describe your 'sudo' problem to the channel and see if anyone has an idea of where to start looking
[21:52] <Daekdroom> kv102t_, you don't need a 64bits system.
[21:52] <Daekdroom> kv102t_, it spends a lot more of RAM..
[21:52] <magik> minimec: What about just a terminal? That would be usefull.
[21:52] <minimec> magik: ... which would run in a terminal... (like irssi)
[21:52] <kv102t_> why do it then..
 i had the same problem, tri to reinstall on Carmic koala
[21:52] <acerimmer_> kv102t_: go with 32 bit.  you don't have enough ram to justify 64
[21:52] <gusl> thanks onetinsoldier. I'm heading out for now.
[21:52] <kv102t_> all apps seem to be 32bit
[21:53] <magik> minimec: No i mean, forget about the irc. What about just putting a terminal into my conky?
[21:53] <arid> i don't know if it recognizes my sound card
[21:53] <Daekdroom> kv102t_, some people need 64bits compiled software for high performance, or more RAM.
[21:53] <kv102t_> what would be good for 64-bit (RAM)
[21:53] <onetinsoldier> gusl: ok. take care and good luck
[21:53] <minimec> magik: So use the Terminal. Install the xfce4-terminal and configure it whitout borders and stuff and transparent...
[21:53] <Daekdroom> 4GB+
[21:53] <magik> minimec: I already have that, i was just wondering if i could actually embed it into my conky?
[21:54] <minimec> magik: You would'nt have the possibility to do any input...
[21:54] <magik> minimec: Really? That sucks =[
[21:54] <skulski> kv102t_:: 64bit can run 32bit apts (for the most part). its useful to address > 3G of ram
[21:55] <Nikolai_D> guys, can someone help me please, ive got a reaally simple question i think, but i cant figure out something. Im trying to install kvm guest virtual machine. But, when i have to select a storage to store my virtual machine image file, i dont want to select my root partition, i want to select my external usb hard drive, but i cant :( any suggestions?
[21:55] <magik> minimec: Well i need to fill a lot of space in my cony setup. Any ideas what i can add? I already have all the things like os, drives, ram etc...
[21:55] <minimec> magik: Conky is a script that checks values in a certain intervall and displays it...
[21:55] <Bausparfuchs> hello, I noticed that there appears a second clock in my panel for some days. It seems to be connected with the notification applet. does anyone know how to get rid of that?
[21:55] <brontosaurusrex> magik: the conky nirvana seems to be some sort of weather report
[21:56] <minimec> magik: I don't need and use conky...
[21:56] <bsmith093> does parted support ext 4 yet
[21:57] <skulski> silly question, how do I tell if i am on a 64 or 32 bit install?
 i think yes
[21:57] <ZykoticK9> skulski, uname -m
[21:57] <skulski> ZykoticK9:: i686 is 32, eh?
[21:57] <ZykoticK9> skulski, yes
[21:57] <skulski> ZykoticK9:: thanks
[21:58] <bsmith093> thanks found a channel #parted
[21:58] <badcloud> nm, figured it out myself
[21:59] <acerimmer_> Bausparfuchs: right click on the clock and remove it from the panel
[22:00] <Bausparfuchs> acerimmer_, it is integrated in the indicator applet. It is not possible to remove the clock without the complete indicator applet
[22:00] <FlamingLinux> hello
[22:00] <acerimmer_> Bausparfuchs: check the clock setting for a second location.  failing that, delete and reinstall the applet
[22:01] <acerimmer_> !hi|flaminlinux

[22:05] <FlamingLinux> (please dont attack me for this) but is there a way to work yum in ubuntu? at all?
[22:05] <christopher> hi
[22:05] <bsmith093> this is not intended to be a stupid quesion, but what is the difference between a filesystem and a pratition?
[22:05] <christopher> anyone able to lend a first time user some time?
[22:05] <Ken8521> FlamingLinux, not to attack, but why would you want to?.. apt-get is more or less the same thing
[22:06] <acerimmer_> FlamingLinux: *heretic!*  seriously you can use Yum packages with the "alien" command line
[22:06] <freezway> FlamingLinux, ... no... Yum is fedora stuff... apt-get is what you want
[22:06] <FlamingLinux> Ken8521, just because i want to try out yum
[22:06] <freezway> Yesterday I tried to compile my kernel. To make a long story short, my graphics drivers got messed up. So I did a reinstall, completely wiping the drive, and I STILL can't get my native resolution. (1920x1080) and am stuck at 1360x768... HELP. I am using the 195 nvidia driver. Before this all happened I had the native resolution.
[22:06] <acerimmer_> christopher: what's the issue
[22:06] <jpds> FlamingLinux: Erm, then install Fedora or something?
[22:06] <bsmith093> christopherL whats the questuion?
[22:06] <Ken8521> FlamingLinux, then install a redhat distro, or boot a Fedora Live CD.. it's more or less the same as apt-get
[22:06] <christopher> anyone have any ideas where the xorg.conf is in xubutnu 10.4
[22:07] <christopher> its not in etc /x11
[22:07] <jpds> christopher: It's gone.,
[22:07] <Jimmymaniac> onetinsoldier: thanks, testing...

[22:07] <acerimmer_> FlamingLinux: you're going to do what you will.  think bout this; install virtual box and put fedora on that
[22:07] <howlymowly> hi poeple..  so i just installed google chrome browser on my systemm..  but there is one thing I am missing:  the gecko media plugin does not work..  i have isntalled it already and in firefow it works without a flaw.. so any idea, what could be the problem? i googled around and it seems that under "normal" circumstances it should work automatically..  why not on my system (I use ubuntu 10.04)
[22:07] <Jimmymaniac> nope, didn't work, same problem, must be some bug

[22:16] <Daniel> If I am to dualboot XP and ubuntu, is it true that I need 3 partitions, one with XP, one with grub(?) and one for Ubuntu itself?
[22:16] <Ken8521> Daniel, no
[22:16] <acerimmer_> daniel: absolutely NO
[22:17] <kop> mrAZ, dhclient eth0 ? AND is it possible that the lease it's asking for from cache is being used elsewhere
[22:17] <howlymowly> brontosaurusrex: it says "missing plugin" in my chrome browser on the page I just gave you..
[22:17] <Ken8521> Daniel, the installer will walk you through partitioning.. a normal installer, is 1. for XP, 1 for swap(about 2gigs usually) and htne your main ubuntu partition
[22:17] <Daniel> Where do the grub-thingy go?
[22:17] <greezmunkey> mrAZ: sift through kern.log and or syslog to see if there is a reason for it???
[22:17] <Ken8521> Daniel, it gets installed to the master boot record of the drive.
[22:18] <acerimmer_> Ken8521: grub goes to the MBR
[22:18] <arand> Daniel: On the same partition as ubuntu and to the mbr
[22:18] <Ken8521> acerimmer_, that's what i said.
[22:18] <Daniel> Is it at all possible to do through VPN?
[22:18] <kop> Daniel, despite the warning it goes on the mbr
[22:18] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: hello. how are you today? btw, who won the game?
[22:18] <christopher> hyi
[22:18] <brontosaurusrex> howlymowly: yeah, same here

[22:19] <christopher> how do you create an xorg.conf in xubuntu 10.4?
[22:19] <arand> christopher: Unless you want manuall settings, yes
[22:19] <freezway> YES YES I KNOW.... i had the wrong thing highlighted when i middleclicked
[22:19] <christopher> yes I do want manual settibgs
[22:19] <christopher> how do you bring it back ?

[22:20] <Daniel> Ken > Is there any way to pre-configure the ubuntu install, so it runs "silent", predefined IP aso?
[22:20] <christopher> its a standard intel card
[22:20] <kop> christopher, I've had to annotate or even create xorg.conf several times to get native res
[22:20] <Ken8521> Chris___, well, you can copy it over from a 9.10 install if you had one backed up from there.

[22:23] <bricky> whever I alt tab or win+tab, after I select a window, all of them pop up anyway ;)
[22:24] <magik> Anyone know any humor IRC chats with a lot of people in? Sorry that it's off topic.

[22:24] <howlymowly> brontosaurusrex: btw:  i just found the place where chrome lists its "recognized" plugins:   its "chrome://plugins"  when you put that into the adress bar
[22:24] <christopher> hi
[22:24] <LjL> bsmith093: uh, can't you just use md5sum filename and then compare visually?
[22:24] <christopher> where will the xorg.conf.new file be created by default?
[22:24] <greezmunkey> christopher: your home directory
[22:25] <christopher> thanks
[22:25] <bsmith093> well yeah but id rather have a check

[22:25] <onetinsoldier> bsmith093: not sure what your looking for there... are you wanting to check on a file installed by a package?
[22:25] <howlymowly> brontosaurusrex:  I removed my mozplugger plugin
[22:25] <howlymowly> and now everything works...
[22:26] <Slart> robin___: there's a wine channel you can try if you don't get any answers here.. #winehq
[22:26] <robin___> I installed Winetricks but it didn't do anything.
[22:26] <robin___> Ah. Thanks.

[22:31] <christopher> any ideas?
[22:31] <Slart> magik: tried gnome-look.org ?
[22:31] <LiraNuna> how can I set $TERM to be 'xterm-color' instead of 'xterm' in gnome-terminal?
[22:31] <Dizkonnekted> bricky, if you are asking me its Control and Super key to initiate, you adjust all of these from CCSM (compizconfig setting manager)
[22:31] <jpds> LiraNuna: TERM=xterm-color
[22:31] <christopher> greezmunky?
[22:31] <kop> sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:31] <gogeta> LiraNuna: xterm uses colors if the app has them
[22:32] <LiraNuna> jpds, no, that will be for the current session and is not terminal emulator wise
[22:32] <greezmunkey> christopher: try this: ls -l /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new
[22:32] <kop> or sudo mkdir /etc/X11/
[22:32] <bricky> Dizkonnekted: Thanks Im looking through that :
[22:32] <kop> or , drink beer
[22:32] <LiraNuna> gogeta, .bashrc distinguishes between xterm and xterm-color
[22:32] <jesperv> Hi, I'm looking for at tool so i can see which wireless channels that are in use in my area. Are there any tools like that for ubuntu?
[22:32] <bricky> I cant find where it says how to use them lol
[22:32] <christopher> ls: cannot access /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new: No such file or directory
[22:32] <christopher> ?
[22:33] <christopher> It exists because I can see the file
[22:33] <edbian> jesperv, sudo iwlist scan
[22:33] <edbian> jesperv, Or you can use the little network manager applet
[22:33] <Dizkonnekted> bricky, if you explore the ccsm window you will find all of the effects listed in there
[22:34] <aTypical> Howdy, all.  Does anyone have a good lightscribe label I can have?  I need to burn some discs and want to make them look good.
[22:34] <s1uck3y> I can't read DVDs/CDs
[22:34] <s1uck3y>  I get output in dmesg like: http://paste.debian.net/75610/
[22:34] <duffydack> aTypical, ubuntu have some I believe...
[22:34] <gogeta> aTypical: google is your frend there
[22:34] <christopher> ?
[22:34] <greezmunkey> christopher: I don't know then - something wierd on your system, I guess. If the file exists, you should be able to move it - especially with sudo, unless you've borked something completely.
[22:34] <duffydack> aTypical, I mean the site..
[22:35] <christopher> lol
[22:35] <greezmunkey> christopher: you are on ubuntu right??
[22:35] <christopher> xubuntu
[22:35] <pure_hate> christopher, sudo ls -lah /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new
[22:35] <ubuntu_> Okay, so. I install Ubuntu, ver 10.04, and update it. I walk downstairs to get a drink while it restarts, and when I get back, I get a "kernel panic" error, with "attempted to kill init" as the reason for the panic.
[22:35] <greezmunkey> christopher: this is not a xubuntu support channel, sorry.
[22:35] <ubuntu_> I am sad face. :(
[22:35] <boss_mc> christopher: greezmunkey ls -l /path/to/file will treat file as a directory hence the failure
[22:36] <christopher> sudo ls -lah /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new
[22:36] <gogeta> pure_hate: i think thers a easy way to genrate thew xorg.conf
[22:36] <boss_mc> christopher: try ls -l /home/christopher/xorg.*
[22:36] <pure_hate> gogeta, He only said he coludt ls a file
[22:36] <Slart> greezmunkey: I think this channel supports all variants of ubuntu.. even though there are separate channels.. or?
[22:36] <pure_hate> *couldnt
[22:36] <pure_hate> Xorg -configure to generate a new Xorg
[22:36] <christopher> wNo command 'try' found, did you mean:
[22:36] <christopher>  Command 'tty' from package 'coreutils' (main)
[22:36] <christopher>  Command 'tr' from package 'coreutils' (main)
[22:36] <christopher>  Command 'trn' from package 'trn' (multiverse)
[22:36] <christopher>  Command 'trn' from package 'trn4' (multiverse)
[22:36] <FloodBot3> christopher: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:36] <christopher>  Command 'trs' from package 'konwert' (main)
[22:36] <pure_hate> o.0
[22:37] <greezmunkey> boss_mc: I disagree
[22:37] <boss_mc> greezmunkey: how so?
[22:37] <christopher> ok
[22:37] <christopher> a xorg.conf file has appeared in x11
[22:37] <christopher> but its empty
[22:37] <greezmunkey> path to file work just fine, try it on your system.
[22:37] <pure_hate> Im pretty sure xorg is not used any more in ubuntu
[22:37] <christopher> I have the exact code for this laptop from the forums
[22:38] <onetinsoldier> s1uck3y: not sure this is what you need, but you can try it if you want --> sudo ./usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[22:38] <christopher> how can I sudo edit it?
[22:38] <Wabi> hi
[22:38] <gogeta> pure_hate: i beleve thers a way for it to genrate one totaly rdy using the auto detect then you can edit it
[22:38] <Wabi> my programs dont have tray icons anymore
[22:38] <christopher> yeah it isnt
[22:38] <meco> !screenshot
[22:38] <greezmunkey> christopher: did you run the command that you were given earlier - touch etc etc etc?
[22:38] <christopher> yes
[22:38] <runix__> heyas. I'm almost sure that apt-get used to download files in parallel when different hosts where available; in my install, I have 4 different deb sources (ar,br,de,fr.archive.ubuntu.com) but apt downloads only from one of those sources
[22:38] <christopher> then it appeared
[22:38] <boss_mc> greezmunkey: tru dat, I've been using CentOS at work and assumed ubuntu did the same thing
[22:39] <Purpley> Hey guys, is there a really easy to use gui for pvm or any other parallel computing program?
[22:39] <onetinsoldier> s1uck3y: you might need to install  libdvdread4  and  ubuntu-restricted-extras  ..first
[22:39] <Dizkonnekted> Wabi, maybe you removed the notification area or the windowlist from the panel?
[22:39] <greezmunkey> christopher: I was going to ask that guy why he would give you a command that would only create an empty file on your system, but didn't have time.
[22:39] <christopher> well
[22:39] <s1uck3y> libdvdread4 is already installed
[22:39] <christopher> it has helped
[22:39] <christopher> as if i can edit the file
[22:39] <onetinsoldier> s1uck3y: ok, good
[22:39] <christopher> then as far as I know my problems solved
[22:40] <imperfect-> Anyone know of a better xosview?
[22:40] <onetinsoldier> imperfect-: gkrellm
[22:40] <jesperv> edbian: Thanks, I used sudo iwlist scan | grep Channel
[22:40] <imperfect-> onetinsoldier: also dated.
[22:40] <edbian> jesperv, Cool!
[22:40] <imperfect-> onetinsoldier: alas
[22:40] <edbian> jesperv, Glad I could help!
[22:40] <imperfect-> maybe I shold just submit to conky
[22:41] <meco> I have "lost" the menus in the system bar. See http://imagebin.org/99274 . What should I do?
[22:41] <onetinsoldier> imperfect-: don't know then. i still think gkrellm is really nice, and there's a lot of nice themes you can get for it too
[22:42] <imperfect-> onetinsoldier: Nod, i've got a tgz where I wget'd the all of them
[22:42] <onetinsoldier> imperfect-: ahh, roger that :-)
[22:42] <christopher> when I try and save the xorg.conf
[22:42] <duffydack> meco, I think you just wanted to show us your tat and pointy nipple.
[22:42] <christopher> I get the error cannot open file to write?
[22:42] <Wabi> my programs dont have tray icons anymore
[22:43] <duffydack> meco, right click add to panel, menu
[22:43] <christopher> any ideas?
[22:44] <meco> duffydack: No, someone has been messing with this PC and also added that image...
[22:44] <imthenachoman> how do i make it so a user can issue shutdown -h 0 without sudo?
[22:44] <wilber> y need help
[22:45] <wilber> for ubuntu 10.04
[22:45]  * onetinsoldier suddenly President Nixon comes to mind
[22:45] <avg_guy> was wondering if I have a folder full of other folders is there a way to compresses them all in to there own archives at one time?
[22:45] <magik> Whats the conky code to show ip?
[22:45] <beartato> does anyone know how I can verify whether my home directory is encrypted in 10.04? I remember some folders from 9.10 (such as ~/private, ~/.private and and ecryptfs folder or something) which are not present in 10.04 even though I am sure I selected that option during install
[22:45] <Ken8521> avg_guy, you should be able to use archive manager to put them all in a tar file
[22:46] <wilber> spanish
[22:46] <wilber> alguem fala portuges?
[22:46] <avg_guy> Ken8521,  yeah i just dont want to compresses the main folder thou
[22:46] <An_Ony_Moose> For upgrading to 10.04, can I set a different folder for the temporary downloads? I'd only have enough disk space if I deleted the entire /usr folder because the hard drive is so small.
[22:46] <onetinsoldier> !pt | wilber
[22:47] <Ken8521> avg_guy, you don't have to... create a new tar file, and simply add each individual folder that you want in there
[22:47] <An_Ony_Moose> or will I have to boot off a live USB? (this computer has no CD drive)
[22:47] <wilber> #ubuntu-br
[22:48] <pure_hate> avg_guy, A shell script should do it; like: for i in /home/foo do tar -cf blah blah
[22:48] <wilber> #ubuntu-pt
[22:48] <onetinsoldier> wilber:  /join #ubuntu-br
[22:48] <onetinsoldier> wilber:  /join #ubuntu-pt
[22:48] <Squideshi> I'm trying to get a batchbuffer dump to diagnose an X freeze, but I'm unclear about the following instructions. Does this mean that I need to first install a different kernel; and if so, I can't see how to add the PPA they have listed. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze/#How%20to%20Get%20a%20Batchbuffer%20Dump%20%28-intel%20only%29
[22:48] <christopher> hi
[22:49] <pure_hate> for a in `ls -1 *.*`; do gzip -dc $a | tar cf -; done
[22:49] <pure_hate> some thing like that
[22:49] <christopher> could someone explain why I would be getting a cant open file to write error when im running as sudo?
[22:49] <christopher> ?
[22:50] <ross_> I have been having some problems with youtube, everytime i tried to go full screen, it crashes on me, help please
[22:50] <christopher> ross I heard there is a bug in flash with ubuntu
[22:50] <christopher> im pretty sure it hasnt been fixed yet
[22:50] <imperfect-> Anyone know why my Nvidia GTX280 doesn't let me do compositing saying the extension is unavailable when I know it is?
[22:50] <SwedeMike> My sound in 10.04 is working perfectly for everything but in mplayer, I have sound when using flash, skype etc, but in mplayer when using pulseaudio, I get no sound. -ao alsa works. Any suggestions on what to do next? It worked until a few days ago (machine upgraded from 9.04->9.10->10.04)
[22:51] <beartato> does anyone know how I can verify whether my home directory is encrypted in 10.04? I remember some folders from 9.10 (such as ~/private, ~/.private and ecryptfs folder or something) which are not present in 10.04 even though I am sure I selected that option during install
[22:51] <christopher> anyone able to help me?
[22:51] <onetinsoldier> christopher: what's the name of this file?
[22:51] <christopher> xorg.conf
[22:52] <onetinsoldier> christopher: paste the output of --> ls -l xorg.conf
[22:52] <christopher> ok
[22:52] <mc__> christopher, try sudo -s and the opening the file, though xorg.conf should not be a problem normally
[22:52] <GuyCanada> changing my boot order doesnt help, for some reason it doesnt want to boot from cd. i have 2 cd slots so im not sure which one is the right one because it only shows one in the boot order
[22:53] <funcqshun> hello, how to turn on terminal command line memory? so that when i press pageup the last remembered similar command shows up?
[22:53] <imperfect-> Anyone, anyone at all?
[22:53] <Purpley> Hey guys, is there a really easy to use gui for pvm or any other parallel computing program?
[22:53] <arimmer> funcqshun: it's already on.  it's arrow up not page up
[22:53] <funcqshun> arimmer i dont mean that, i know that
[22:53] <Ken8521> funcqshun, the "up" arrow should do that w/o you doing anything
[22:53] <ross_> I have been having some problems with youtube, everytime i tried to go full screen, it crashes on me, help please
[22:54] <pure_hate> funcqshun, that should be on by default
[22:54] <pure_hate> unless you are using a vm
[22:54] <christopher> onetinsoldier I pmd you it
[22:54] <christopher> so not to flood
[22:54] <funcqshun> arimmer and others: aroow gives only the last typed in command, it doesnt match similar command
[22:54] <Ken8521> pure_hate, not sure, but i think it even does it w/ a vm.
[22:54] <onetinsoldier> christopher: ok, it should have just been one line of output though
[22:54] <christopher> ok
[22:54] <christopher> it was
[22:54] <pure_hate> Ken8521, It should but there was a vmare bug in vmware 7
[22:54] <Ken8521> funcqshun, so you're not looking for previous commands.. you're looking for like auto complete?
[22:54] <jzacsh> hi, does startup-disk-creator have issues with amd64 iso's??
[22:54] <beartato> ross_, I dunno but that sounds like a browser or flash issue. have you tried upgrading flash or using a different browser?
[22:55] <christopher> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2561 2010-05-31 22:11 xorg.conf
[22:55] <onetinsoldier> hi its:-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2561 2010-05-31 22:11 xorg.conf

[22:55] <funcqshun> for example, i ssh'd in to my server a while back, and now i want to type the first few characters of ssh'ing in again and have it autocomplete it for me with pageup
[22:55] <pure_hate> funcqshun, ahh
[22:55] <ross_> beartato i will try using opera let me check

[22:55] <jzacsh> !64
[22:55] <onetinsoldier> christopher: ok, paste in the output of --> lsattr xorg.conf

[22:56] <christopher> -----------------e- xorg.conf
[22:56] <Ken8521> funcqshun, but it does have auto complete...
[22:57] <onetinsoldier> christopher: i don't know what wrong. looks all good to me. you should be able to edit as sudo as far as i can tell
[22:57] <christopher> ok
[22:57] <netech> hmm
[22:57] <christopher> It even says at the top of the file warning you are using the root account
[22:58] <ross_> beartato yeah full screen doesn't work

[22:58] <jzacsh> no suggestions? can someone be awesome and download the 64 bit of ubuntu and see if start-up-disk-creator takes it?
[22:58] <christopher> normal gui login
[22:58] <onetinsoldier> christopher: and what editor are you using?

[22:59] <Maletor> I can't get the apple wireless bluetooth keyboard to work with Ubuntu 10.4. I have set it up to the point where I enter the 6 digit code and press enter and it says it is successful but then it won't type anything. I have a logitech keyboard and mouse that I am using in the mean time, and I have even tried unplugging that to see if it conflicted but it won't work. Please I need some help here!
[22:59] <ross_> beartato how do you upgrade the driver for the graphic card
[22:59] <onetinsoldier> christopher: perhaps try --> gksu gedit xorg.conf &   ...don't know though really
[22:59] <Maletor> Holy shit it's wokring.
[23:00] <Maletor> Thanks all.
[23:00] <magik> Hey guys. I noticed there is a ping function in the terminal. It currently sends 64 bytes each ping. Is there any way to increase how much bytes it sends?
[23:00] <jzacsh> anybody? a hand with ubuntu 64
[23:00] <gagzilla> I'm getting a bizarre graphics card problem- works ok from live CD but if I install it- it is blank right after grub
[23:00] <Slart> magik: man ping    will tell you.. there's a switch for it.. don't remember the name now
[23:00] <wieger> i have a question about setting up a IRC server in ubuntu server 10.4. As far as i get is that on older versions of ubuntu there where problems with IRC server. Are they still in 10.4 or can i just install a irc server without problems
[23:00] <ross_> how do you upgrade the driver for the graphic card
[23:00] <magik> Slart: Wuts man ping?
[23:00] <Slart> magik: man <command>    works for almost all commands in linux/ubuntu
[23:01] <magik> Slart: I ok
[23:01] <Slart> magik: you write it in the terminal.. it shows you the man-page for "ping".. like a short manual
[23:01] <soyo> brb
[23:01] <wieger> it opens a manual about a command
[23:01] <imperfect-> Anyone at all got an idea how I can get compositing enabled on my rig?
[23:01] <EmilySC> I just installed Lucid on a Asus G72GX laptop and I want to use my speakers with it.  They work, however the internal speaker still is on.  How do I turn it off?
[23:01] <magik> I see it
[23:01] <pure_hate> magik, ping -s packetsize
[23:01] <avg_guy> Ken8521,  when I use archive manager  it would like to make a new archive with all the folder i add to it i wiould like to make one archive per folder all at one time . is this possible ?
[23:02] <magik> pure_hate: Just saw it in the manual. Thanks pure_hate and Slart =]
[23:02] <pure_hate> avg_guy, I told you how to do it
[23:02] <Slart> magik: you're welcome
[23:02] <Ken8521> avg_guy, that question really doesn't make sense.
[23:02] <imperfect-> Are you trying to test path mtu?
[23:02] <magik> Also guys.
[23:02] <avg_guy> oh ok will scroll up
[23:02] <gagzilla> EmilySC, try alsamixer
[23:03] <wieger> i have a question about setting up a IRC server in ubuntu server 10.4. As far as i get is that on older versions of ubuntu there where problems with IRC server. Are they still in 10.4 or can i just install a irc server without problems?
[23:03] <magik> I'm sick of having to open and close the terminal when the $ doesn't show up. Is there something else i can do?
[23:03] <Slart> avg_guy: I don't think file does that.. you could do it with a bash script of some kind though
[23:03] <EmilySC> gagzilla, okie, I'll look for it now :)
[23:03] <Flannel> magik: What do you mean it doesn't show up?
[23:03] <Slart> avg_guy: oops.. "I don't think file roller does that"
[23:03] <magik> well
[23:03] <magik> when i do
[23:03] <magik> man ping i have to close and re open the terminal to enter another command
[23:03] <Renn> Hey - I have a intel x4500HD that got semi-constant screen flicker towards the bottom in 10.04, I don't think the bugs been fixed yet. I think I found the fix but don't know how to apply it
[23:04] <Slart> wieger: I think there are many different irc servers to install.. I seriously doubt there's a general problem that makes irc servers not work in ubuntu
[23:04] <avg_guy> ok thanks all
[23:04] <greezmunkey> magik: hit "q" to close the manual :)
[23:04] <Slart> magik: tried pressing q?
[23:04] <pure_hate> magik, use a better terminal
[23:04] <Slart> magik: "man man" will tell you more about the man command
[23:04] <magik> Ok but what about for ping?
[23:04] <christopher> hi
[23:04] <greezmunkey> man
[23:04] <magik> How do i stop pinging?
[23:04] <wieger> well i tried ircii and i had to install it everytime i shutted down the server
[23:04] <Flannel> magik: ping runs until you stop it, with ctrl-c
[23:04] <Slart> magik: ctrl+c
[23:04] <edbian> magik, ctrl + c
[23:04] <pure_hate> magik, control -c
[23:04] <magik> Cheers
[23:05] <magik> =]
[23:05] <christopher> when I run this command : gksu gedit xorg.conf . It says starting administrative task in the taskbar then nothing happens
[23:05] <christopher> any ideas anyone?
[23:05] <gagzilla> I'm getting the blank display on another machine too! :-/
[23:05] <pure_hate> christopher, use a editor in the terminal like vi or nano
[23:05] <christopher> ok
[23:05] <mistii> ubuntu is way to confusing for me. im gonna uninstall
[23:05] <pure_hate> haha
[23:05] <christopher> how do you save in nano?
[23:05] <edbian> christopher, Is your terminal in /etc/X11 ???
[23:05] <christopher> no
[23:06] <ikonia> mistii: ok
[23:06] <Ken8521> christopher, did you create a xorg?
[23:06] <pure_hate> christopher, f2
[23:06] <christopher> yes
[23:06] <pure_hate> or f3
[23:06] <christopher> but its 0 bytes big
[23:06] <Slart> mistii: there are lots of operating systems out there.. find something you're comfortable with
[23:06] <pure_hate> f2 is exit but will ask you to save
[23:06] <Ken8521> christopher, also, your path is wrong, as someone else noted
[23:06] <mistii> i hate windows. and i wont use apple's os. so i dunno.
[23:06] <greezmunkey> someone told christopher to use touch to create the file!!!
[23:06] <Renn> anyone?
[23:07] <duongthaiha> Hi all I having a problem with the windows in GNOME. Normally, I double click on the header bar and the windows will maximize to full screen. Now it does not work any more. When i double click into it do nothing Also it does not show any error message. I have to click  the max button on the side to maximize it.
[23:07] <Ken8521> mistii, how in the world do you consider ubuntu to hard? what is the problem
[23:07] <mistii> its just so confusing. and this version im using is seriously ugly
[23:07] <ikonia> Renn: what maks you think they found a fix ?
[23:07] <gagzilla> anyone else experiencing blank displays on installing 10.04?
[23:07] <ikonia> mistii: use what you like
[23:07] <mistii> it is hard.
[23:07] <Ken8521> mistii, well... .. "what's.. hard.."
[23:07] <ikonia> mistii: if you don't like ubuntu - don't use it ?
[23:07] <mistii> codes. dont know how to do anything with it.
[23:07] <christopher> ok
[23:07] <fabio333> duongthaiha, System -Preferences -> windows
[23:07] <Ken8521> mistii, well, you ahve to learn.
[23:07] <Slart> mistii: there are other linux distros as well.. google for distrowatch.. try to top 5 or so.. or browser around and see if you find something you like
[23:07] <Renn> ikonia: can I post a url to the bug report here?
[23:07] <christopher> finally it saved to xorg
[23:08] <magik> duongthaiha: Try right clicking on the bar at the top and What version of ubuntu are you on?
[23:08] <ikonia> Renn: sure
[23:08] <Renn> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/linux/+bug/549989
[23:08] <christopher> so if I restart x it should work?
[23:08] <Dizkonnekted> gagzilla, yeah i have, ive had amazing problems and tried 3 different downloads of 10.04 including the alternate cd
[23:08] <gagzilla> Dizkonnekted, how did you solve it?
[23:08] <Renn> towards the bottom "powersave=0 looks like it did the trick"
[23:08] <gagzilla> Dizkonnekted, I'm facing that on 2 out of 3 machines
[23:08] <magik> Guys, what is the ping command usefull for???
[23:08] <Ken8521> mistii, honestly, the way ubuntu is set up, you rarely have to use a terminal.. unless you just want to.
[23:08] <VirginiaSteaks> hey folks, i somehow managed it to crash my CTRL+L on any gnome terminal: normally this "hotkey" would clear the terminal - but instead i now always get "^L" just written on the terminal. what could i have done wrong?
[23:09] <jpds> magik: Seeing if a machine is alive?
[23:09] <blue_anna> magik: checking to see if a computer is on the net
[23:09] <duongthaiha> fabio333: Thanks a lot it work. I dont know how it been disable to none :D
[23:09] <EmilySC> gagzilla, alsamixer didn't help any :(
[23:09] <magik> That's a bit boring :P
[23:09] <greezmunkey> magik: first line tcp/ip connectivity test.
[23:09] <jpds> magik: Well, useful though.
[23:09] <magik> What if
[23:09] <jpds> magik: If you want shiny, use mtr.
[23:09] <ikonia> Renn: that is a kernel boot parameter, you add it to your grub kernel boot line
[23:09] <gagzilla> EmilySC, you don't see the speaker in alsamixer?
[23:09] <Slart> VirginiaSteaks: in gnome terminal you can disable shortcut keys in the Edit, Keyboard shortcuts option
[23:10] <mistii> apparently i have not got the latest version. although i got it today, do i have to reinstall? im okay with this one. im just not used to using linux opensource. so no need to fly daggers at me people :(
[23:10] <Renn> ikonia: thanks, but I have no idea how to do that  :D
[23:10] <Dizkonnekted> gagzilla,  i didnt sorry, i went back and even tried updating throught the manager, best thing i can suggest is you burn at a slow speed and check the iso with md5sum to be sure its good
[23:10] <Ken8521> mistii, well what version do you have?
[23:10] <Slart> VirginiaSteaks: you might want to check that they are enabled and that Ctrl+L is still defined
[23:10] <magik> Say a computer is on a 10mbs connection and I am running my 120mbs connection. I ping the ip of that computer sending lets say about 50k bytes every few seconds. What would that do to the other computer on a lower speed connection than me?
[23:10] <gagzilla> Dizkonnekted, but it was fixed eventually?
[23:10] <ikonia> Renn: look at the grub config files in /etc/grub.d
[23:10] <mistii> not sure actually. its a pretty simplified looking one. maybe 8.5 ive got no clue.
[23:10] <jpds> magik: Not much...
[23:10] <Dizkonnekted> gagzilla,  not for me, after 5 attempts i gave up
[23:10] <gagzilla> Dizkonnekted, oh
[23:11] <magik> It would flood their connection with to many packets?
[23:11] <jpds> magik: No, they're very small.
[23:11] <magik> What if i set the size to like 500000?
[23:11] <samrose> how to change the default disk that ubuntu installs packages to?
[23:11] <pure_hate> magik, Ping is a poor way to send a DOS
[23:12] <magik> Dos?
[23:12] <TommyH> Can someone help me get audio to work in Ubuntu, i'm running the live version right now
[23:12] <EmilySC> gagzilla, I see master (which did what its supposed to do), headphone which don't effect either speakers, speaker which has no bar and stays at 00, PCM, Front, Surround all do nothing
[23:12] <jpds> magik: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_maximum_size_of_an_ICMP_packet
[23:12] <Dizkonnekted> magik, nobody here is going to help you try a DOS attack on another computer lol
[23:12] <magik> I'm not
[23:12] <Ken8521> mistii, well, in all truthfullness, if your'e using 8.04, it sucked
[23:12] <magik> I was just thinking
[23:12] <onetinsoldier> magik: DOS = Denial-of-Service attack
[23:12] <hendrixfire> hi everybody
[23:13] <magik> I already know how to ddos.
[23:13] <onetinsoldier> !hi | hendrixfire
[23:13] <ninfis> heey ppls
[23:13] <ninfis> lol
[23:13] <magik> I just saw that i could change the packet size and it got me thinking.
[23:13] <hendrixfire> could anyone help me with a problem using xfce?
[23:13] <jpds> magik: See the link.
[23:13] <Slart> !lol > ninfis
[23:13] <gagzilla> EmilySC, that seems correct- have you tried looking at the sound preferences on the speaker icon in the panel?
[23:13] <magik> cba
[23:14] <Renn> okay I found the 10_linux file in ect/grub.d but I'm not sure were it is I'm suppose to add this line
[23:14] <mistii> yeah. its pretty ugly ken
[23:14] <hendrixfire> i installed it by sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktop
[23:14] <Dizkonnekted> magik, if you understand Ddos then you should understand dos and networking in general, unless your using some scripts you managed to download or something
[23:14] <EmilySC> gagzilla, yep, I don't see any way to change which speakers do what.
[23:14] <gagzilla> EmilySC, check the Output panel and verify that the Connector is what you want it to be
[23:14] <hendrixfire> but now that i'm using it i can't find my other hard disk in the PLACES menu..
[23:14] <Ken8521> mistii, wel, none of the ubuntu versions are all that pretty out of the box.
[23:15] <EmilySC> gagzilla, Says Internal Audio Analog Stereo.  Shouldn't it be something external?
[23:15] <exodus_ms> tryn to upgrade to latest distro using sudo do-release-upgrade -d and I get this: The upgrade is now aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 4286M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 1302M of disk space on '
[23:15] <Jimmymaniac> Did Lucid remove the services manager? if so, what's it's replacement?
[23:15] <Dizkonnekted> Ken8521, neither are any versions of windows ;)
[23:15] <magik> Dizkonnekted: I do understand it. I'm just not very strong in the ICMP section.
[23:15] <EmilySC> gagzilla, Thats the only option btw
[23:15] <gagzilla> EmilySC, probably- try some of the other ones and see if that fixes it
[23:15] <Ken8521> Dizkonnekted, :) no argument there
[23:15] <gagzilla> EmilySC, oh... well then. Sorry dont know the solution
[23:15] <hendrixfire> do you know what can i do?
[23:15] <VirginiaSteaks> Slart: thanks, but that wasn't the mistake: i accidently put vi command mode behaviour of the bash itself into .bashrc. this was my mistake. but thanks anyway :)
[23:16] <mistii> i wanted those types of icons at the bottom of the screen. i heard i can get it from gnome-look but can it work on this build ken?
[23:16] <Slart> Jimmymaniac: preferences, startup applications? or? I'm not actually sure what the service manager did?
[23:16] <Slart> VirginiaSteaks: ah.. well. you're welcome
[23:16] <gagzilla> EmilySC, one other thing to try is see if lsmod has pcspkr in it
[23:16] <EmilySC> gagzilla, Thanks for your efforts anyway :)  I'm going to keep at it
[23:16] <Ken8521> mistii, you've yet to put together a question that makes any sense at all, let alone answer a simple question that's been asked of you... so no, i can't help you
[23:16] <gagzilla> EmilySC, if it does- remove it and see if that addresses your problem
[23:16] <EmilySC> gagzilla, Okie.  What is LSmod?
[23:16] <Jimmymaniac> Slart: No, actual services, the "daemons" to use the correct term, stuff like Apache, MySQL and the like
[23:17] <gagzilla> EmilySC, lsmod = list modules
[23:17] <Jimmymaniac> i suspect i need to fine-tune that
[23:17] <Slart> Jimmymaniac: ahh.. yes.. now I remember.. nope.. haven't seen anything like that in lucid
[23:17] <mistii> --_-- why are people so rude to me. im new to this.
[23:17] <Sp0tter> Can you run Xen in a domu under Xen ?
[23:17] <Ken8521> mistii, i'm not rude, you're just whining, and not asking a question, nor providing simple answers when asked a question.
[23:17] <onetinsoldier> Jimmymaniac: i know of a couple of command line tools, but, it would be very nice if there were a gui one
[23:17] <magik> Does anyone happen to know the code to show ip in conky?
[23:18] <Jimmymaniac> why did they remove the services manager if there was no replacement? that was a very bad choice
[23:18] <mistii> im not whining. something was advertised to me. as a ubuntu os. with icons at the bottom of the screen. yet i dont have any on this. there at the top. and its extremely simplified.
[23:18] <EmilySC> gagzilla, nope :(
[23:18]  * Jimmymaniac looks for an alternative
[23:18] <Renn> how do I add "i915.powersave=0" to my kernel boot line?
[23:18] <Ken8521> mistii, you likely saw a desktop that had a fair amount of GUI tweaking done to it.
[23:19] <Ken8521> mistii, as i told you a few minutes ago, the GUI out of the box is fairly simplified
[23:19] <ross_> how do you upgrade the driver for the graphic card
[23:19] <Renn> magik: do you want both the public and private IP shown?
[23:19] <Ken8521> ross_, that depends on the graphic card...
[23:19] <Piccolo48> wow, there sure are a lot of people here
[23:19] <Jimmymaniac> as a first look i see "BootUp Manager", or "bum" in apt, as an alternative
[23:20] <mistii> very, not to my taste but i want to use this, i just need help in using this thing.
[23:20] <Piccolo48> Anyway, I just installed ubuntu, but for some reason my wireless internet wont detect or set up manually
[23:20] <Dizkonnekted> mistii, might i suggest youtube and searching the channel name gotbletu for some tutorials
[23:20] <Ken8521> mistii, then you need to be able to ask a question, which you've yet to do.
[23:20] <Piccolo48> Everything must be working fine physically, because I have windows installed as well and it works well on windows
[23:21] <mistii> i really need to rummage up a picture to show you what i mean.
[23:21] <Slart> mistii: it sounds like you want one of the docks.. cairo-dock or awn dock are two popular docks.. if you're looking for something more specific a screenshot would help a lot (google is wonderful for finding screenshots)
[23:21] <Ken8521> mistii, do you have yahoo/msn/aim?
[23:21] <Jimmymaniac> "bum" is not perfect, but it'll do for now
[23:21] <EmilySC> When I plug my headphones into my laptop, the sound doesn't mute on the laptop speakers.  Any ideas?
[23:22] <arand> !imagebin | mistii
[23:22] <Ken8521> that's weird... EmilySC does sound come through your headphones?
[23:22] <chalcedny> i'm feeling a bit desperate. can someone remind me of the keys to press to get to a command prompt and back out of it? i'm in the middle of a project, due tomorrow, and my mouse pointer just disappeared!
[23:22] <EmilySC> Yep!
[23:22] <Ken8521> hmm
[23:22] <mistii> i do want a dock, i believe it is a dock, slart where can i get them, you sound like music to my ears :D
[23:22] <EmilySC> Usually I have issues with NO sound...  Now its too much sound xD
[23:23] <Slart> EmilySC: I think it's a feature that's missing on a lot of laptops.. I'm not sure if it's a audio driver thing or a motherboard driver thing.. sometimes you'll have to lower the volume yourself using the alsamixer
[23:23] <Piccolo48> Arlight, there are too many people here, when is the best time to join?
[23:23] <xorwhy> Piccolo48: When there are less people here
[23:23] <Daekdroom> Piccolo48, I don't recall seeing this channel quieter than this.
[23:23] <EmilySC> Slart, I tried using alsamixer but couldn't find an option that effected the laptop speakers
[23:23] <magik> Anyone know the wmctrl command to resize a selected window???????????????
[23:23] <Daekdroom> Piccolo48, and I hang out here a lot.
[23:23] <Slart> mistii: they are available from the repositories.. if you open up system, administration, synaptic you can search for "awn" or "cairo-dock" and install them.. then they'll end up in the regular applications menu
[23:23] <Piccolo48> oh, damn
[23:23] <Dizkonnekted> Piccolo48, the more people here the more likely you will find an answer to your question ;)
[23:24] <Piccolo48> oh, so many people here is a good thing, ok
[23:24] <jamesd2> i hear that #win3.1 is a bit quieter...
[23:24] <xorwhy> haha
[23:24] <chalcedny> Piccolo48, there are many specialized ubuntu affiliated channels try /msg alis list *ubuntu* - some of them will not be so intimidating
[23:24] <xorwhy> Except on dangerous dave friday, it's packed
[23:24] <chalcedny> i'm feeling a bit desperate. can someone remind me of the keys to press to get to a command prompt and back out of it? i'm in the middle of a project, due tomorrow, and my mouse pointer just disappeared!
[23:25] <Slart> EmilySC: well.. you could just ignore it for now and see if future versions of alsa will bring better support.. or see if there is some kind of fix/work around.. searching the forums for your laptop model number might work
[23:25] <Piccolo48> Meh, I guess I'll follow the overcomplicated help guides.  Setting up wireless on ubuntu is ridiculously difficult in my particular case
[23:25] <chalcedny> i'm on ubuntu 9.04 if that matters
[23:25] <xorwhy> Ok so is there absolutely no way to customize the "Places" menu?
[23:25] <Slart> chalcedny: alt+f2, type   gnome-terminal and press enter
[23:25] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, what's your wireless device?
[23:25] <iWaldo> Hey guys, when I try to boot I get a grub "out of range pointer" error and can't boot. I tried reinstalling Ubuntu (and, presumably, grub), but I still have the same problem
[23:25] <chalcedny> Piccolo48, it can be challenging.. but it does work, works very well too
[23:26] <iWaldo> Anyone know what's up with that?
[23:26] <Piccolo48> I dont know.  But it works perfectly fine on windows (I have both on same computer)
[23:26] <xorwhy> That places menu would be so nice if I could add my places to it, but since I use none of the default directories for Music, Pictures, etc., it isn't very useful
[23:26] <greezmunkey> chalcedny: Ctrl+Alt+F(2-6) for a console {ctrl+alt+F2 for example)
[23:26] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, well that's pretty much irrelevant, of course it works fine on windows... is it a usb or internal?
[23:26] <Piccolo48> internal
[23:26] <UltraParadigm> Hi People!!!
[23:26] <xorwhy> I found it relevant.
[23:26] <greezmunkey> chalcedny: ctrl+alt+f7 to return to gui
[23:27] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, open up a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter, it'll list your pci devices, find your wireless device
[23:27] <Dizkonnekted> chalcedny, you might also just need to restart x by logging out and back in again
[23:27] <chalcedny> greezmunkey, thanks
[23:27] <Piccolo48> windows has terminal?
[23:27] <Ken8521> xorwhy, found what relevant?
[23:27] <EmilySC> Slart, I think I might have found something about it, albiet on a different type of laptop.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/477226
[23:27] <Slart> xorwhy: mm.. places feels like a weird hardcoded structure that probably has "TODO: Fix this.. just entered default directories manually, must improve later" as a comment in the source code.. =)
[23:27] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, are you on windows or Linux right now?
[23:27] <chalcedny> Dizkonnekted, if i do that i lose all my work
[23:28] <Piccolo48> windows, because it wont connect on linux
[23:28] <xorwhy> Ken8521: The works on windows comment, it eliminates hardware failure.
[23:28] <chalcedny> i'll try to kill things that are using ram first.. see if that helps
[23:28] <Slart> EmilySC: it's not an uncommon problem.. we get someone asking about it almost every day in here.. different laptops though but the same problem
[23:28] <Ken8521> xorwhy, well i'm assuming if it didn't work in windows, he wouldn't be dense enough to come here for help
[23:28] <Dizkonnekted> chalcedny, you can also use the keyboard to naviagte windows on screen to save your work
[23:28] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, then boot linux and run the command i gave you, and write down what it says about yoru wireless device
[23:28] <xorwhy> Slart: lol you know it, especially since the help file specifically states "You can customize the Applications and System menu"
[23:28] <chalcedny> Dizkonnekted, er how?
[23:28] <Slart> EmilySC: I think the problem is that there are a gazillion ways of doing this.. and a gazillion different sound solutions out there.. it's hard to keep up with them all
[23:29] <xorwhy> Ken8521: Density is primarily a function of windows use
[23:29] <samphippen> so I've just tried to upgade my system to 10.04 and during reboot it got as far as trying to find the bootloader, and has now said "error: the symbol `grub_puts_' not found. the prompt says "grub rescue" typing ls brings up a list of hard drives, I think my linux is on (hd1,1) how do I boot it?
[23:29] <Piccolo48> yipe, this is what I feared, having to go back and forth with terminal all day long.  But hey, thanks for having even more patience with this than I do.  Ok brb
[23:29] <Slart> xorwhy: =)
[23:29] <chalcedny> Slart, hehe *hus*
[23:29] <chalcedny> er
[23:30] <chalcedny> *hugs*
[23:30] <EmilySC> Slart, okie, heres hoping I can find one of those solutions ;)
[23:30] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, any way you can hook up cat6 cable?.. usually linux will recognize wired connections
[23:30] <Piccolo48> no
[23:30] <Dizkonnekted> chalcedny, ALT and TAB move focus to different apps and windows, within a specific window TAB moves the selection around, holding down the ALT key in a window and pressing the underlined letter in a menu activates that menu etc
[23:30] <chalcedny> Piccolo48, that makes it more entertaining
[23:30] <Slart> EmilySC: the forums is your best bet if you ask me.. that and lots of patience
[23:30] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, well.. first you need to figure out the chipset on the device, which that command will tell you, then we can go about trying to help you
[23:31] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, just write down everything it says about your wireless device
[23:31] <Piccolo48> Alright, brb, thanks
[23:31] <chalcedny> Dizkonnekted, thank you very much :)
[23:31] <Dizkonnekted> chalcedny, your welcome
[23:31] <EmilySC> Slart, thanks for your help either way ;D
[23:31] <steven> Hi everyone. I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu. I got tired of Windows and completely scrapped it. However I may have done it prematurely because I am having huge issues with hardware and drivers. And I have no clue how to fix some of these things. Can anyone help me?
[23:31] <xorwhy> Is there an attribute to commands that lanch X windows to specify their height and width regardless of whether or not the program contains such a function?
[23:31] <rzilla> i have a simple question, hopefully someone will be able to help me
[23:31] <Slart> EmilySC: you're welcome
[23:32] <NE_Home> ok. For unknown reasons to me I lost the volume icon and slider at the top pannel, right side. Right clicking and trying an "add to pannel" brings up a list where there is no Volume applet. I'm running 10.04.  What is going on?
[23:32] <KiiK> hi. how to check what network card I have installed
[23:32] <Slart> xorwhy: try devilspie
[23:32] <Ken8521> steven, wellt hat wasn't very smart... ask a question regarding specific hardware, rather than a general one
[23:32] <ikonia> xorwhy: some have -x-orginate and -y-ordinates, do --help on them but they are normally X11 native apps, soch as xclock and xterm
[23:32] <Slart> xorwhy: it can do all kinds of things to windows.. it has to be able to do that
[23:32] <rzilla> I've got windows 7 and ubuntu on my laptop - if I format the linux-related partitions into ntfs, will my laptop go back to using the windows bootloader? will there be anything linux-related left on my laptop?
[23:32] <klappi> KiiK: you can try lspci
[23:32] <tripelb> what's the right place to discuss Vuze please? (I get command to update.... tells me I already have that version. Every time I open it.)
[23:32] <tripelb> will someone KICK floodbots what's up?
[23:32] <Slart> tripelb: I think they disabled the updates in the version from the repos
[23:32] <Ken8521> rzilla, you'll probably also hav to clear the mbr, or you'll get boot errors
[23:33] <Slart> tripelb: or you installed it directly from their site? what version are you running?
[23:33] <tripelb> Slart, is there an advantage to it over transmission?
[23:33] <rzilla> I see. Is that easy to do?
[23:34] <steven> Okay I have an Asus g50v gaming laptop and I just installed 10.04. I'm a noob. I can't get flash to work properly and I have sound but the headphone and mic jack will not work. Any ideas?
[23:34] <Ken8521> rzilla, it can be.
[23:34] <Slart> tripelb: well, vuze has more features.. plugings, lots of settings and so on.. it's also slower, uses more memory and so on.. you'll have to decide what features you want
[23:34] <Ken8521> steven, flash, like adobe flash for youtube?
[23:34] <rzilla> ken8521: i'm looking around google, if I can't figure out how to do it I'll come back in a few mins and ask :)
[23:35] <Ken8521> rzilla, good luck.. i've removed grub before, but you need a boot disk to do it to my knowledge
[23:35] <m0tek> i have 'typing break' enabled and appreciate it for the most part
[23:35] <NE_Home> For unknown reasons to me I lost the volume icon and slider at the top pannel, right side. Right clicking and trying an "add to pannel" brings up a list where there is no Volume applet. I'm running 10.04. What could be happening?
[23:35] <christopher> hi again everyone
[23:35] <rzilla> thanks ken9521
[23:35] <rzilla> *ken8521
[23:35] <christopher> onetinsoldier: are you still here
[23:35] <chalcedny> ok .. firefox killed and i still have NO mouse.. is there a way to restart the mouse drivers without restarting everything? and how to change tabs in gnome terminal with no mouse?
[23:35] <m0tek> but sometimes it pops up at the worst possible times (during a demo, during some real time experiment, whatever) and I really need an override. does it exist?
[23:35] <Ken8521> NE_Home, i think it's in notification area
[23:35] <xorwhy> Slart: 32kb of solved, thank you!
[23:35] <steven> I had adobe working. However its glitchy. It was working fine now I cant go to full screen and most sites with flash won't show video content.
[23:35] <simar> sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness  can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ...
[23:35] <iWaldo> Fuck, grub is really screwed on my PC
[23:36] <steven> youtube does work though just no fullscreen.
[23:36] <tripelb> What's KEYSTROKES for Show Desktop (aka hide all windows) ??
[23:36] <Ken8521> NE_Home, it's either notification area, or indicator applet, not sure which
[23:36] <mistii> i think im gonna love you ubuntu/linux guys :) so helpful
[23:36] <onetinsoldier> christopher: hello. yes
[23:36] <Slart> NE_Home: I don't think that's an applet.. it's probably a task try icon you're seeing
[23:36] <NE_Home> Ken8521: i will search that, thanks. I do have the notification area though
[23:36] <iWaldo> Can't use the fix I found online, reinstalling didn't work
[23:36] <Ken8521> NE_Home, yeah, it might be indicator applet.. i can't remember, i know it changed on 10.04
[23:36] <happyface> how do I "take over" a byobu screen (in ssh) so that it resizes to MY terminal window?
[23:36] <chalcedny> mistii irc and open source were made for each other :)
[23:37] <iWaldo> I'm running out of options other than totally wiping the HD
[23:37] <simar> tripelb, use  Compiz config to change whatever you want to set ...
[23:37] <mistii> :D hehehehe, i love all of you. thanks for your help
[23:37] <Slart> xorwhy: you're welcome
[23:37] <mistii> this is gonna be my favourite chat.
[23:37] <Ken8521> steven, it's working fine in full screen here.
[23:37] <christopher> onetinsoldier: Thank you for all your help, I finally got it working, in the end I had to login at command line as root and write out the entire xorg.conf in nano. Lol dont want to ever do that again
[23:38] <simar> sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness  can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ...
[23:38] <tkj> ?
[23:38] <simar> plz help
[23:38] <chalcedny> christopher, wow congratulations!
[23:38] <onetinsoldier> christopher: lol, roger that. well, i'm glad you got it figured out! :-)
[23:38] <xorwhy> whats the command to list a specified environment variable?
[23:38] <christopher> yeah so am I
[23:38] <magik> Hey guys, i have a few things. One is that i need to know the command for changing a window size using wmctrl and another is i need to ask why my Terminator doesn't have a transparent background when i have that selected.
[23:38] <christopher> anyway thanks guys
[23:38] <mistii> now im going to get some nice looking things for the desktop.
[23:38] <Halitech> christopher, ouch, done that myself and its not fun
[23:38] <onetinsoldier> christopher: so your x-windows is configured like you want it now then?
[23:38] <christopher> yep
[23:38] <steven> actually i think its a browser issue. It works in firefox but not chrome. I really wish I could find a way to get me headphone jack to work on my sound card.
[23:38] <gagzilla> xorwhy, env
[23:38] <christopher> 1024x768
[23:39] <gagzilla> xorwhy, or echo $FOO
[23:39] <Slart> xorwhy: echo $somevariable    should work
[23:39] <Ken8521> steven, i just tested full screen in chrome, and it's fine there also.
[23:39] <tripelb> simar, I dont use comfiz. It's prolly too many resources right now. I wanted to know if anything is built in.
[23:39] <onetinsoldier> christopher: good. take care and enjoy :-)
[23:39] <NE_Home> Ken8521: Slart: wtf. I added an "indicator applet" (something that indicates there is need for attention) and there appeared the Volume thing. What has been going on the minds of Ubuntu devels as of late? I almost feel like going back to 8.04  :(
[23:39] <christopher> you too
[23:39] <indivi> hola
[23:39] <magik> Anyone know the command to resize windows???????????????/
[23:40] <tripelb> simar, Alt-tab doesnt have "desktop" built into it.                     ------------------------------------- I wanted to know if anything is built in.
[23:40] <Slart> NE_Home: the indicator applet should be there by default.. perhaps you somehow removed it by accident?
[23:40] <simar> tripelb, yes ofcourse its there in etc scripts but don't know exactly ... sorry
[23:40] <Ken8521> NE_Home, i'm not sure why they changed that... but there's been significant changes tot he notification area/panel applets since 8.04
[23:40] <tripelb> Is there a magic command to make 2 windows share the screen, horiz or vert
[23:40] <tripelb> thanks simar, NP
[23:40] <ujjain> Getting Windows Shares working in Ubuntu is hard.
[23:40] <simar> sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness  can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ..
[23:40] <simar> help!!!!
[23:40] <mistii> i have to restart apparently :). thanks everybody
[23:40] <simar> sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness  can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ..
[23:41] <onetinsoldier> indivi: hola. espanol? spanish?
[23:41] <Slart> simar: echo means print.. so it prints 3.. but it doesn't print it just to screen.. it prints it to a file
[23:41] <tripelb> OK last question now. HOW TO REMOVE VUZE?  (also wine)
[23:41] <samijam> i switched from using kde/kdm back to gnome/gdm but gdm isn't starting at boot. I'm stuck at the flash screen and I have to start gdm manually.  How can i get it to start automatically again?
[23:42] <Piccolo48> Ok, there was a lot to right down, but I think the most common thing said was "Intel corp core processor" or something
[23:42] <Slart> simar: linux uses files for all kinds of things.. not just the regular documents and such.. there are files that you can write things to and things change.. hardware, settings and such
[23:42] <Halitech> tripelb, is vuze installed in wine?
[23:42] <NE_Home> Slart: no man I didn't. All I did was restore my old homedir back.  Ken8521: I see it yea. There are more things apart from the notification area that are changed.  If it weren't for the incorporated ath5k driver that this 10.04 has, I'd be with my 8.04 (manually compiling madwifi_hal driver)
[23:42] <FatsDT> xfce requires hal?   Yuck.
[23:42] <Piccolo48> I ddi see USB a couple times, however, said "USB controller enhanced host controller intel"
[23:42] <tripelb> no, wine is just something else I am not using and is prolly in a new version anyway.
[23:43] <steven> does anyone know much about sound cards. I have sound on mine but the headphone and microphone inputs will not work at all. I don't really know where to start to resolve this issues since i'm new to linux.
[23:43] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, you didn't see anything there about your wireless device?
[23:43] <Halitech> tripelb, sudo aptitude remove vuze wine
[23:43] <Slart> simar: the /sys folder is one of these folders with lots of weird files connected to all kinds of hardware.. so that line writes a "3" to a file that probably controls the brightness of the screen.. it might be that you can write numbers from 1 to 10 or 1 to 100.. where 10 or 100 is max brightness and 1 is almost completely dark
[23:43] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, a processor, is not a wireless device.
[23:43] <rzilla> @Ken8521 will the windows cmd command fdisk /mbr fix my problem?
[23:43] <LoganSkytower> Hi, I just upgraded my 9.04 to 9.10 (I'll probably do a 10.04 upgrade tomorrow) buuuuut, after some hassling I have my sound working, my video playing in correct colors and my desktop scrolling again... now I just want one thing. I have the Applications menu in my gnome bar and there's an unruly large icon next to it, and that wasn't there before.
[23:43] <simar> Slart, ya i know that but how we do without using editor ... with these commands ... the meaing of this compound statement .. dats i wanna know
[23:43] <Piccolo48> I mean, I guess I saw "signal process controller intel"
[23:43] <Ken8521> rzilla, it might.... i'm not gonna say ys or no.
[23:43] <LoganSkytower> steven; do you know how to open up a terminal?
[23:43] <tripelb> HALLTECH thanks a lot
[23:44] <steven> yes I do
[23:44] <Slart> simar: ok..  do you understand something like this      echo "some text" > somefile.txt    ?
[23:44] <Piccolo48> Or something like CI express test internet controller
[23:44] <simar> echo prints so how does it write???
[23:44] <simar> ya exactly
[23:44] <rzilla> Ken8521, is it safe to do?
[23:44] <LoganSkytower> steven: okay, open a terminal and type in "alsamixer" and tell me what that does.
[23:44] <Slart> simar: it writes the text "some text" to a file called somefile.txt
[23:44] <steven> alsamixer
[23:44] <Halitech> tripelb, I'm guessing on the names but if those are the right names what should do it
[23:44] <steven> ok
[23:44] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, you're asking for specific help, and giving very very generic "maybe" answers... i told you you needed to write down everything about your wireless device
[23:45] <LoganSkytower> steven: and it might be useful to highlight me, by typing the first few letters of my name so I can see you're replying to me.
[23:45] <Slart> simar: the > is called a pipe.. it sends the output from the previous command somewhere.. it could send it to a file.. or as input to another command
[23:45] <steven> brings up an area to change sound settings
[23:45] <Random833> Slart: no, > isn't a pipe - a pipe is |
[23:45] <simar> Slart, what is tee and echo "some text" | tee some file?????
[23:45] <Slart> simar: you can use   >  <  or |
[23:45] <Random833> which is what sends it to another program
[23:45] <simar> Slart, ok
[23:45] <Random833> simar: tee sends it both on its output and to the other file
[23:45] <Slart> simar: yes.. Random is right..   | is a pipe > would be called.. redirection, I think
[23:45] <LoganSkytower> steven, good. Hit tab, you'll see it jump to "recording" at the top.
[23:45] <Random833> it's like, well, a T style fitting in actual pipes
[23:45] <Slart> Random833: yes.. my bad
[23:45] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, one of the lines in that output, should ahv elooked osmething like this..  6:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[23:46] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, obviousoly you have a different device, but that's basically what it looks like
[23:46] <LoganSkytower> steven, you can navigate with the arrow keys. Just tell me what your microphone volume is set to.
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[23:46] <xorwhy> Wow devilspie is awesome
[23:46]  * thb|Ou7 buscar um filme ali!
[23:46] <Slart> simar: ok.. here comes the tricky stuff... say you want to write some text to a file that is owned by root... as most important files are
[23:46] <magik> Hey guys. After restarting my computer i opened up my Terminator terminal and now I can't set the background to be transparent! =[
[23:46] <simar> Slart,  i 'm getting please keep going
[23:47] <Piccolo48> I think ethernet is the key word.  I think I thought I wrote that down and skipped it, brb
[23:47] <NE_Home> Slart: add a sudo at front of that echo earlier ?
[23:47] <Slart> simar: you would probably think you could write something like     sudo echo "some text" > somefile.txt   .. but no.. that command only runs echo "some text" as root.. then the > somefile.txt is run as your regular user'
[23:47] <bricky> hey where can I get the so called Genie plug for compizz or ccsm
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> magik: press alt+f2, type: compiz --replace   press enter
[23:47] <Slart> simar: so you'll end up with some kind of permission denied error
[23:47] <steven> the microphone was all the way down. there isnt an option to turn up the headphones though
[23:48] <LoganSkytower> Are the headphones USB or jack, steven?
[23:48] <magik> ActionParsnip: Ok i did that
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> bricky: try installing compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[23:48] <steven> jack
[23:48] <simar> so we have to use sudo some file right??
[23:48] <magik> ActionParsnip: Yay it worked TYVM!!!
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> magik: add the command in your startup items
[23:48] <LoganSkytower> steven, hit tab again, and again, you'll be back at the regular sound settings "Playback" and check there.
[23:48] <bricky> ActionParsnip : Thanks ill try
[23:49] <Slart> simar: here's where the "tee" command comes in.. it simply redirects the output to a file  but you can run it as root if you want to send something to a file as root
[23:49] <magik> ActionParsnip: Yeah doing so now
[23:49] <foo_fighter> i have a problem with chromium browser....could anyone help me?
[23:49] <chalcedny> ActionParsnip, you remember i have ubuntu 9.04, my mouse just *quit* working.. (i'm on the vista laptop, talking to you) what can i do to restart my mouse?
[23:49] <fabio333> try chrome
[23:50] <foo_fighter> fabio333:  i can't hear radio stations
[23:50] <Slart> simar: so instead of     sudo echo "some text" > somefile.txt    we could write something like   echo "some text" | sudo tee somefile.txt
[23:50] <LoganSkytower> To clarify, what is happening to my taskbar's Application menu is this: http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/140/010610.png That very large down pointing arrow has made the lower taskbar really, really broad, and I want it to go away. In 9.04 that arrow wasn't there. Any suggestions? A link to a small iconset would be fun too, as long as it works :D
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: try adding: i8024.reset    to your boot options in /etc/default/grub
[23:51] <Slart> simar: personally I've never really gotten used to using tee.. I usually use some other way around it.. but that's one of the reasons that it's there
[23:51] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, clever placing of your irc window
[23:51] <ovnicraft> hi folks, what is the name of gnome theme in 10.4?
[23:51] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, I do my best ;)
[23:51] <Ken8521> lol
[23:51] <magik> Anyone here any good with conky?
[23:51] <Slart> ovnicraft: ambience, I think
[23:52] <ovnicraft> Slart, thx
[23:52] <Halitech> magik, what is the question you have about conky?
[23:52] <Slart> ovnicraft: there's also Radiance.. a lighter version of the same theme
[23:52] <chalcedny> ActionParsnip, umm not sure how to do that, is there a way to restart the mouse so i can finish working on my project?
[23:52] <magik> Halitech: Just wondering what the code is to show the ip address of your machine.
[23:52] <kamil_> jacyś polacy ?
[23:52] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, I take it you however have no idea how to solve my issue though?
[23:52] <Slart> !pl | kamil_
[23:52] <Halitech> magik, give me a second
[23:52] <kamil_> ok ok
[23:53] <magik> Halitech: Ok, Thanks =]
[23:53] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, i missed the question actualy, lemme scroll up
[23:53] <kamil_> I have problem with my xubuntu
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[23:53] <CheckMate> when I boot the computer, I am seeing the following types of messages...what does this mean and how do I fix it? "16.764599] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0"
[23:53] <magik> kamil_: What's the problem?
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: you can run thet by pressing ALT+F2 (no mouse needed)
[23:53] <kamil_> cpu usage is 100%
[23:53] <kamil_> when I install or whatever
[23:53] <magik> kamil_: Thats rather strange. How long has this been happening for?
[23:54] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, what happens when you click the arrow?
[23:54] <Halitech> magik, here is what I use ${color orange}NETWORK (${addr eth1}) ${hr 2}$color
[23:54] <LoganSkytower> It opens the Applications menu
[23:54] <magik> kamil_: What proccessor do you have?
[23:54] <kamil_> I have linux from 2 weeks
[23:54] <magik> thanks Halitech
[23:54] <simar> Slart, whats for | then
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: find this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"  and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.reset'
[23:54] <octavio> Hello :), I'm having problems with the screen resolution, using radeon 9200. It works perfectly in 9.04 and 9.10 but now just give me 3 res. options. I don't know if I can get the xorg.conf from the others ubuntu versions.
[23:54]  * iWaldo prepares to uninstall ubuntu :(
[23:54] <Slart> simar: that sends the output from    echo "3"  to the   tee   command
[23:54] <kamil_> i have ubuntu 10.04 studio lucid, debian and xubuntu (alredy)
[23:55] <kamil_> my cpu is PIII
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: save the new file, and close gedit. Press ALT+F2 again and launch a terminal, then run: sudo update-grub; sudo reboot    should be ok
[23:55] <LoganSkytower> Sorry, Ken8521, that was directed at you, when I click the arrow, it opens the "applications" menu.
[23:55] <Slart> simar: tee then takes that input and sends it to the file
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> Slart: could just use: sudo -i    before ;)
[23:55] <kamil_> it's old notebook
[23:55] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, hmm. you could try arranging yoru panel a little better, that might make it go away.. it's their because there's to much in that panel i do believe
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> kamil_: if you run: top   in a terminal, what is chewing the cpu?
[23:56] <kamil_> 128mb ram, noemagic graphic
[23:56] <kamil_> xorg
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> kamil_: i'd recommend LXDE, its a bit lighter
[23:56] <Slart> ActionParsnip: yes.. scroll up.. simar had some one-liner for setting brightness which involved tee.. it's hard to explain =)
[23:56] <kamil_> i now
[23:56] <chalcedny> ActionParsnip, ok trying that (i won't lose my work on all the stuff i have open?)
[23:56] <simar> Slart,  then why don't we use echo 3 file to diretly send opuput from echo to file
[23:57] <magik> Halitech: That code doesn't work for me. No ip displays =[
[23:57] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, I've made it so it automatically adjusts it's size when new stuff is added... so that can't be it. I can't make it smaller using the taskbar size... the Arrow is what's usually the standard Ubuntu Icon, but the Iconset I use has an arrow. And changing to the Ubuntu icons wouldn't be a problem, I don't care that much about the looks, but, it doesn't fix it, it remains overly large.
[23:57] <kamil_> but on lxde i have this same problem
[23:57] <NE_Home> iWaldo: what is it? Tough luck ?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> chalcedny: not until you reboot, so just don't reboot til its convenient
[23:57] <Slart> simar: in this canse.. no idea.. since tee isn't run with sudo we might as well just go with     echo "3" > somefile
[23:57] <magik> It just says (Noi address)
[23:57] <kamil_> now i use xfce, but lxde i installed few minutes ago
[23:57] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, i have no idea...
[23:57] <iWaldo> NE_Home: Grub is fried, and nothing I've tried gets my computer to boot
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> kamil_: you may need to form an xorg.conf file to get a nice performance. If you run: lspci | grep -i vga     you can wesearch for the output to find guides
[23:57] <Halitech> magik, you may need to change eth1 to eth0 or whatever number you use
[23:57] <chalcedny> ActionParsnip, that's what i wanted! thanks so much!!!
[23:58] <Slart> simar: but people do things the way they've always done them.. it doesn't always make sense.. or there might be something clever about it that I just don't know
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> chalcedny: np, the kernel options are only applied when the kernel is loaded
[23:58] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, Yeah, you and me both :>
[23:58] <iWaldo> Ubuntu does not play nicely with this computer
[23:58] <magik> Halitech: That only seems to be getting my internal ip. Is there a way to get my external?
[23:58] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, unless you remove "window list" and add "Window selector" (which is more like a menu)
[23:58] <NE_Home> iWaldo: so i guess you have tried some tricks already, starting with reinstalling grub
[23:58] <linxeh> magik: www.whatismyip.com   www.whatsmyip.com
[23:58] <Slart> simar: but from what I understand.. it only makes sense to use tee when you write to a file that is owned by root.. so the regular > doesn't work
[23:58] <kamil_> form your commend : " 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2230 [MagicGraph 256AV+] (rev 30)
[23:58] <iWaldo> NE_Home: I reinstalled Ubuntu, which I'm pretty sure should reinstall grub too
[23:59] <magik> linxeh: No, I'm trying to add it to conky. Thus needing the conky code!
[23:59] <Halitech> magik, you didn't mention you had a router :) I think you need a script that can output to a text file but I'm not totally sure how or what to write
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> kamil_: let me dig
[23:59] <simar> Slart,  ok i got some out of it ... well thanks a lot for your patience and help .... now i'm equiped enough to google it ... have a gd day
[23:59] <blind> how can I see what my playstation controller is on my computer as far as /dev/ ..it's apparently NOT /dev/js0 , but it is detected in some programs.
[23:59] <linxeh> magik: ah, sorry
[23:59] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, Yeah, that does fix it. But I like my "applications, places, system" menu :<
[23:59] <Slart> simar: you're welcome
[23:59] <magik> linxeh: Haha it's fine.
[23:59] <simar> Slart, thanks
[23:59] <NE_Home> iWaldo: id think the same. But it's odd what you say. What happens when rebooting?
[23:59] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, Blegh, screw it. I'll just use that.
[23:59] <kamil_> I'm sorry, dont understand :( i'm from pl and my eng is not god
[23:59] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, no.. all it does is take all of your windows(xchat, etc..) and make them selectable from a single button window, rather than having a button for each window, spread across the menu
