[00:00] <jose> my dad was about to throw away my PC yesterday for messing it up with ubuntu
[00:00] <orangeglo> appl6: i guess my question is, how can i execute a command at a file?
[00:00] <nero_> help (rpt) i just did the upgrade and sound is non existent.  i.e. i go to sound and there are no longer any hardware devices for it : /  ... any help would be great
[00:00] <jose> the bad part about ubuntu is that it can read .EXE
[00:00] <jose> nero
[00:00] <jose> i dont think theres a way to fix the SOUND DRIVER
[00:00] <usr13> orangeglo: exactly what are you trying to do?
[00:01] <Appl6> orangeglo: I don't understand your question.  The installation instructions give you a specific command to run; why are you trying to run some other command?
[00:01] <jose> user13
[00:01] <jose> is there a way to use a .EXE in a ubuntu OS
[00:01] <nero_> gahh, i had sound in my 10.04 ... i do a stupid little update and now i don't have it
[00:01] <nero_> grrrr
[00:01] <nero_> jose,  "wine"
[00:01] <orangeglo> Appl6: im just trying to do what the command told me to. it told me to execute the given command to the octoshape file. how do i do that??
[00:01] <Astroe> Anybody here have any experience with installing rockbox from ubuntu?
[00:01] <usr13> orangeglo: Bring up a terminal and do as instructions said:  ./OctoshapeClient -url:octoshape:BROADCASTER.channel
[00:02] <orangeglo> usr13: i have, but it tells me that the file doesnt exist
[00:02] <jose> i used to like ubuntu
[00:02] <jose> i used to use ubuntu ever since 8.0
[00:02] <Appl6> orangeglo: You have to give us specific error messages.
[00:02] <usr13> orangeglo: ./OctoshapeClient -url:octoshape:BROADCASTER.channel #Where -url:octoshape:BROADCASTER.channel is the actual URL.
[00:03] <Briar_Rose> OMG! There are like 1000 people on here!
[00:03] <Zikel> 1477 :P
[00:03] <usr13> orangeglo: Did you cd to the directory where OctoshapeClient actually resides?
[00:03] <orangeglo> usr13:bash: ./OctoshapeClient: No such file or directory
[00:03] <bmack> i just installed restricted drivers and now the plymoth boot logo is really huge, how do i change the resolution of the boot logo?
[00:03] <orangeglo> usr13: yes, i am currently in my downloads file
[00:03] <usr13> orangeglo: ls  #Will give you a list of files in the current directory
[00:04] <Briar_Rose> If I have a virus, can anybody help me?
[00:04] <jose> does anyone know how to get a clearcase for a HP pavilion?
[00:04] <Briar_Rose> Nope. Sorry.
[00:04] <edbian> Briar_Rose, Yeah I bet we can.  What makes you think you have one?
[00:04] <orangeglo> usr13: the file is in my downloads folder, i just ls'd but when i enter the command it says no such file or directory
[00:04] <jose> Briar_Rose:Ubuntu has only like 2 viruses
[00:04] <edbian> Briar_Rose, Did you just answer your own question?
[00:05] <Appl6> orangeglo: Please "ls -l" and use http://paste.ubuntu.com for the output.
[00:05] <Briar_Rose> Oh no, I was just making sure there were some helpful people here.
[00:05] <edbian> jose, only 2?  Where do you get that from?
[00:05] <usr13> orangeglo: Bring up a terminal and do as instructions said:  ./OctoshapeClient -url:octoshape:BROADCASTER.channel #Where OctoshapeClient is the actual name of the executable / bin file and where octoshape:BROADCASTER.channel is the correct target URL.
[00:05] <Zikel> Briar, there's like 1468 people here, I bet one of them could :P
[00:06] <usr13> orangeglo: ls  #And then look at the list.
[00:06] <jose> edbian,Thats just what i think
[00:06] <Briar_Rose> Wow! I thought there was already 2000 people here!
[00:06] <orangeglo> appl6: http://paste.ubuntu.com/444838/
[00:06] <usr13> orangeglo: pastebin the output of   ls
[00:07] <edbian> jose, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware
[00:07] <orangeglo> usr13: ive tried that. i entered the EXACT file name, but it still says no such file or directory
[00:07] <edbian> Briar_Rose, Do you have a question about Ubuntu?
[00:07] <jose> edbian is there any way i can contact you while im recovering my windows 7
[00:07] <Appl6> orangeglo: The file isn't in that directory.  Try "cd octoshape" and "ls -l" again.
[00:08] <Briar_Rose> edbian: A friend told me that there was almost 1000 people here.
[00:08] <edbian> jose, I don't think I can help with windows 7.  I've never even used it before!  I'm more of a linux guy.  Debian to be specific.
[00:08] <edbian> Briar_Rose, There are 1464 people in here
[00:08] <usr13> What is in the directory octoshape/
[00:08] <edbian> Briar_Rose, Do you have a question about Ubuntu?
[00:08] <jose> edbian you should try wnidows 7
[00:08] <jose> its great
[00:08] <edbian> jose, Eh, it costs money
[00:08] <jose> do you have a 64bit Computer?
[00:09] <orangeglo> Appl6: http://paste.ubuntu.com/444839/
[00:09] <dassouki> would a laptop consume less or more battery if it was runnign the os from an sdkey
[00:09] <edbian> jose, No.  But if I did I would use 64 bit Debian.  Please PM me if you want to stay off topic.  I'd be happy to talk but not in the channel if it's not about support for Ubuntu.
[00:09] <ohir> !ot | jose
[00:09] <Appl6> orangeglo: OK.  Now try the command you were trying to run before.
[00:09] <orangeglo> Appl6: i just did, and there was no input
[00:09] <usr13> orangeglo: Did you run ./octosetup-linux_i386.bin and follow the installation instructions?
[00:09] <orangeglo> Appl6: sorry output
[00:10] <Appl6> orangeglo: Be specific.  Was there an error?  What did it say?  What did you expect to happen?  What command did you enter?
[00:10] <jose> whats the chat to recover windows 7 and partition the hard disk to a NTFS?
[00:10] <bastid_raZor> orangeglo: what are you expecting that command to do?
[00:10] <bastid_raZor> jose: ##windows
[00:10] <orangeglo> Appl6: i typed in the exact directions, but there was nothing. no output.
[00:10] <jose> thank you
[00:11] <usr13> Hold on everone....
[00:11] <jose> ##windows
[00:11] <usr13> orangeglo: Did you run ./octosetup-linux_i386.bin and follow the installation instructions?
[00:11] <orangeglo> bastid_razor: i dont know exactly what it was supposed to do, it just told me to do it
[00:11] <bastid_raZor> jose: /join ##windows
[00:11] <jose> oh wait
[00:11] <bastid_raZor> orangeglo: no output doesn't mean something bad.. it normally means it did what it was suppose to do.
[00:11] <Appl6> usr13: He's on step 2.
[00:11] <pfifo> what is the point in having packages that end in *-dev?
[00:12] <Briar_Rose> What do you people think about Google Chrome?
[00:12] <Briar_Rose> weird
[00:12] <orangeglo> got it working
[00:12] <orangeglo> thanks guys :)
[00:12] <Briar_Rose> oh'

[00:16] <BitEncrypt> yes
[00:16] <JLDahmer> How can I uninstall Ubuntu on a Windows 7 dual-boot setup without using Windows restore (Which I do not have) to restore the master boot record?
[00:17] <CaptainTrek> JLDahmer:  a Windows boot CD
[00:17] <pfifo> BitEncrypt, i remeber i had a nice one that worked with jack, but i cannot remember the name off the top of my head. look into all the cool apps for jack and see if you cant find one (there are several)
[00:17] <usr13> JLDahmer: You don't have to restore the MBR.  YOu can continue to let GRUB boot MS Windows.
[00:17] <JLDahmer> The last time I just deleted the ubuntu partition and a grub error would prevent my computer from booting up.
[00:17] <usr13> JLDahmer: Just set MS Windows as the only option.
[00:18] <natjo> Question: I have the 10.04 Ubuntu Netbook Remix and I'd like to install it on a 16GB thumbdrive i have but i can't find nothing but Live installs to let me look at it but I want to install on the thumdrive
[00:18] <acerimmer> JLDahmer: wubi or actuall dual boot?
[00:18] <acerimmer> natjo: Startup disk creator
[00:18] <JLDahmer> Actual dual boot
[00:19] <BitEncrypt> @pfifo i thought jack only worked with external media
[00:19] <acerimmer> JLDahmer: borrow a windows dvd so you rewrite your mbr after ubuntu is gon
[00:19] <natjo> i don't want to dual boot i want to have this thumbdrive because my HDD is being replaced and i want a backup just in case
[00:20] <lewq> Hey. I'm having real trouble with a 10.04 server I've installed on /dev/sdb, with a data drive on /dev/sda. I told the installer to install grub2 on /dev/sdb and the BIOS to boot straight off that disk. Grub booted the first time, I installed some updates (possibly a new kernel / grub loader, not sure) and upon reboot, I get "error: out of disk"
[00:20] <usr13> JLDahmer: You can probably still do   fdisk /mbr
[00:20] <usr13> JLDahmer: Try it and see.
[00:20] <lewq> following http://superuser.com/questions/89307/grub2-error-out-of-disk gives me "error: out of disk" when I try and do step 5, ls /boot/
[00:20] <lewq> Any ideas? It's gone midnight and I'm in the data centre tearing my hair out!
[00:20] <jessonchan> hi
[00:21] <pfifo> BitEncrypt, no, jack is more like also or oss
[00:21] <jessonchan> what a u talking
[00:21] <pfifo> alsa*
[00:21] <BitEncrypt> ok
[00:22] <Scunizi> lewq: also ask in #ubuntu-server
[00:22] <solid_liq> anyone know why there's been kernel updates two days in a row for 10.04?
[00:22] <Scunizi> solid_liq: security patches?
[00:22] <pfifo> solid_liq, because the third time's a charm?
[00:22] <Appl6> lewq: Possibly https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477430 ?  It's the alternative option to the first solution given on your superuser link.
[00:22] <aj_____> Hi I am currently having a problem with creating a new user in ubuntu server 10.04, when ever I create a new user their terminal will open and then immediately close.
[00:22] <solid_liq> anyone know without guessing?  ;)
[00:23] <FlameTai1> Can anyone help me get the visual effects working? When ever I try to enable them it flashes a few times and says Desktop effects could not be enabled, I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 using a NVidia GeForce 8400 GS PCI 512MB DDR2, can anyone help me please...?
[00:23] <alkemann> so im a newb. just installed wubi. I have only my user, i verified that it is the administrator. typing 'su' and giving the password gives a authentication failure
[00:23] <Beyecixramd> do you guys know the name of the tiny distro that permits you to boot DSL, or TinyCore, or the Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora netinstallers?
[00:23] <pfifo> FlameTai1, possibly manually downgrade your nvidia drivers
[00:23] <acerimmer> Beyecixramd: damn small linux
[00:23] <edbian> FlameTai1, I can hang on a second
[00:24] <usr13> lewq: What part of the instructions did not work?
[00:24] <Beyecixramd> acerimmer: no... there's a specific distro that presents you some famous distros in a GRUB menu
[00:24] <edbian> alkemann, You can't su to root in ubuntu.  It's set up to use sudo instead.
[00:24] <Beyecixramd> aaah, there it is http://www.netboot.me/
[00:24] <FlameTai1> Alrighty hangin on edbian lol.
[00:24] <edbian> FlameTai1, Try this script.  It's very helpful for your sort of problem! :) http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check
[00:24] <jessonchan> hey anyone knows longene?
[00:25] <alkemann> edbian: what does that mean? trying to follow this guide http://tinyurl.com/r22tz . what do i do instead of "su" ?
[00:25] <pfifo> dose mingw32 not get along with amd64 or something? Im having soooo much trouble building this cross compiler
[00:25] <FlameTai1> edbian: I don't dare run it, I dun want it to tell me it's incompatable T-T lol xD *Runs the script*
[00:26] <Pici> alkemann: Why would you use xampp? There is a lamp stack in Ubuntu.
[00:26] <acerimmer> pfifo: that's entirely possible....
[00:26] <Pici> !lamp > alkemann
[00:26] <alkemann> Pici: because i am somewhat familiar with xampp from my windows machine
[00:26] <BedMan> MMmmmmMMmm lamp
[00:26] <dassouki> umm is there a way i can reinstall ubuntu from a live cd without going through the partition manager ?
[00:26] <Appl6> alkemann: It's encouraged to use sudo, which elevates your permissions for the next command only.  If you need a root shell, use sudo -i.
[00:27] <FlameTai1> edbian: It says  More than one graphics chip detected -- sorry, the script can not handle that.
[00:27] <FlameTai1>  Aborting.
[00:27] <wildbat> dassouki, y you want to do it ?
[00:27] <FlameTai1> Good sign or bad? lol.
[00:28] <alkemann> Appl6: but with only me using this machine. can't I tell it to just do whatever I say?
[00:28] <dassouki> wildbat: well for some reason, ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook drops to busybox saying /dev/hda1 is missing .. i don't have /dev/hda1, i just have /dev/sda1 ... i'm not sure how to fix that, so i'm thinking of reinstailling
[00:28] <MarcWeber> How is /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pygtk.py generated? dpkg can't find a package owning it
[00:28] <Appl6> alkemann: I don't understand what you mean.  You can type "sudo trash_my_system" to execute that command with root privileges.  What's missing?
[00:29] <acerimmer> dassouki: keep the same parts, make sure you don't format and install over the top of the existing system.  or so I'm told
[00:29] <evon> I have searched the repositories and the net and I can't seem to find the QT toolkit.  Can someone help me please?
[00:29] <alkemann> Appl6: missing was the instruction to prefix commands with sudo :)
[00:30] <dassouki> acerimmer: i've screwed it up before; i've got a fobia
[00:30] <dassouki> phobi
[00:30] <FlameTai1> Anyone able to help me? =|
[00:30] <wildbat> dassouki, hmmm ~ you could have maually mount the root back but anyway you can have selected Manual when picking partition and Don't click format where assigning /, /boot, etc~
[00:30] <acerimmer> dassouki: well, you could back up your /home, reinstall normally and then reinstall your /home...
[00:31] <FlameTai1> I ran the script edbian gave me and it said "More than one graphics chip detected -- sorry, the script can not handle that.
[00:31] <FlameTai1>  Aborting.
[00:31] <FlameTai1> "
[00:31] <alkemann> ok trying with sudo and lamp instead
[00:31] <Boko> Can Please
[00:31] <Boko> Some One
[00:31] <Boko> Help me
[00:31] <Coggeshall> I've gotten ubuntu to install, but now it is requesting a password. On my windows side that account has no password. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?
[00:31] <Boko> Install an
[00:31] <Boko> server
[00:31] <FloodBot4> Boko: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:31] <pfifo> dose anyone know if ubuntu has a pre built cross-compiler that has both SDL and Lua libs built in. Like in a unofficial repo. (im starting to feel lazy)
[00:31] <evon> I have searched the repositories and the net and I can't seem to find the QT toolkit.  Can someone help me please?
[00:31] <alkemann> problem with ubuntu isnt that it is difficult, just doesnt follow expectations of a long time windows user
[00:31] <dassouki> acerimmer: currently, the data sits on a windows partition ... and i'm not sure there is even a / root anymore. I see 4 ntfs drives, an ext4 and a linux-swap .. no /
[00:32] <acerimmer> dassouki: is this a wubi install
[00:33] <evon> I have searched the repositories and the net and I can't seem to find the QT toolkit.  Can someone help me please?
[00:33] <bastid_raZor> dassouki: ext4 is probably / .. / is only a mountpoint not the fs type
[00:33] <dassouki> acerimmer: no it's not .... live usb .. netboook remix ..
[00:33] <FlameTai1> Appearently no one can help me eh?
[00:33] <dassouki> bastid_raZor: so i should specify the ext4 as root ?
[00:33] <Coggeshall> I've gotten ubuntu to install, but now it is requesting a password. On my windows side that account has no password. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?
[00:34] <bastid_raZor> dassouki: no idea, i haven't been following your issues.
[00:34] <dassouki> Coggeshall: did you enter a password while installation ? ubuntu always asks for ap assword
[00:34] <evon> flametail: what was your question?
[00:34] <chilicui1> why the package firefox-3.5 install ff 3.6.4?, is there a way I can install the real ff 3.5 in ubuntu 10.04?
[00:34] <alkemann> so i did "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" and it seemed to install ok. but what now?
[00:35] <dassouki> alkemann: read the manual or at least skim through it
[00:35] <dassouki> alkemann: i didn't mean it in rude way
[00:35] <bastid_raZor> dassouki: yes, use the ext4 partition as your / and linux-swap as /swap
[00:35] <Coggeshall> dassouki: Not that I'm aware of. I ran the wubi installer and it was running through. I left it and came back and my windows side was running. I didnt actually input anything. Is there a default?
[00:35] <pfifo> Chiliblue, i believe mozilla keeps previous releases of firefox in both source and .deb form on their site
[00:35] <FlameTai1> evon: Can anyone help me get the visual effects working? When ever I try to enable them it flashes a few times and says Desktop effects could not be enabled, I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 using a NVidia GeForce 8400 GS PCI 512MB DDR2, can anyone help me please...?
[00:35] <bastid_raZor> dassouki: format both, unless i'm missing something in your previous posts
[00:36] <dassouki> bastid_raZor: thanks ....
[00:36] <FlameTai1> evon: Then edbian gave me this script to run "FlameTai1, Try this script.  It's very helpful for your sort of problem! :) http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check"
[00:36] <alkemann> dassouki: no offence taken. im just so lost.
[00:36] <subsume> I keep losing a variable defiled in my .profile =( What am I doing wrong? I have to source it every time I open a screen window and its annoying.
[00:36] <FlameTai1> evon: Then when ran it gives me this "It says  More than one graphics chip detected -- sorry, the script can not handle that.
  Aborting."
[00:37] <evon> flametail: are you running sli?
[00:37] <Coggeshall> dassouki: Not that I'm aware of. I ran the wubi installer and it was running through. I left it and came back and my windows side was running. I didnt actually input anything. Is there a default?
[00:37] <FlameTai1> evon: I'm on Ubuntu 10.04, and IDK what sli is xD
[00:37] <alkemann> for one. the file structure is really making me confused. how do I figure out where it installed [in this case lamp-server] ?
[00:38] <dassouki> Coggeshall: interesting, have you tried entering no password ?
[00:38] <jasper_> Ok, so i'v managed to finish everything else, and i was wondering if somone could help me find my video drivers..
[00:38] <bastid_raZor> !filesystem > alkemann .. read this it will help you understand
[00:38] <Coggeshall> dassouki: yeah. it says 'authenication failure' or something like that. are you at all familiar with windows XP?
[00:38] <jose> how can i open a iso file
[00:38] <FlameTai1> evon: What would sli be? o=
[00:38] <bastid_raZor> !mount | jose
[00:39] <bastid_raZor> !iso | jose .. rather
[00:39] <alkemann> bastid_raZor: thanks
[00:39] <wildbat> jose, just double click it
[00:39] <evon> flametail: it's when you have 2 video cards installed on your computer.  anyway have you tried envy?
[00:39] <jose> umm how about a simple way to mount it from ONE person
[00:39] <evon> flametail: it that will install the drivers automatically for you
[00:39] <dassouki> Coggeshall: i'm not sure it copies the password over
[00:39] <dassouki> Coggeshall: try logging in as root
[00:40] <FlameTai1> evon: Not that I know of, and I have a PCI video card and the other is an intergated motherboard one
[00:40] <evon> flametail: it should be in the repos
[00:40] <bastid_raZor> jose: do what ubottu said.. and replace ISO-filename with the iso and replace mountpoint with an empty directory
[00:40] <Klojum> jasper_:  which videocard?
[00:40] <Coggeshall> dassouki: how do I go about logging in 'as root'?
[00:40] <FlameTai1> evon:  K I'll check.
[00:40] <evon> I have searched the repositories and the net and I can't seem to find the QT toolkit.  Can someone help me please?
[00:40] <MrDudle> Coggeshall, sudo?
[00:41] <Coggeshall> MrDurdle: I'm sorry?
[00:41] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: Login name: same one you created during installation:  Password: same as you created during installation
[00:42] <VCoolio> Coggeshall: there is no root account in ubuntu; try to reset your password by booting in recovery mode; find a howto somewhere
[00:42] <jose> what does he mean by monut point
[00:42] <Coggeshall> acerimmer: Thats the thing. I ran the wubi installer and left it alone. When I came back I was on my windows partion for whatever reason. I never input any information.
[00:43] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: have you rebooted
[00:43] <Coggeshall> acerimmer: multiple times
[00:43] <bastid_raZor> jose: an empty directory.. create a directory .. for example ~/iso   then use ~/iso as your mountpoint
[00:43] <FlameTai1> evon: "Envy is no longer supported starting from Ubuntu 10.04. Please use Jockey instead.
[00:43] <FlameTai1> "
[00:44] <jose> i wanta simple easy way im new to ubuntu
[00:44] <Appl6> evon: I have a hard time believing that you searched the net and didn't find anything on installing qt libraries on Ubuntu.  What exactly are you trying to do?
[00:44] <jose> all i want to do is switch back to windows >_<
[00:44] <jose> can you open a remote connection?
[00:44] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: when you boot wubi, the first screen is the windows bootloader.  You choose an OS (windows or ubuntu) .  Do you get the bootloader?
[00:44] <bastid_raZor> jose:  put in the windows cd and install.. that is simple enough.
[00:44] <jose> i cant
[00:44] <FlameTai1> jose: Why would you want to do such a thing?
[00:44] <jose> the hard disk needs to be NTFS
[00:45] <evon> appl6: maybe i'm searching for the wrong thing. I've been typing qt toolkit. I'm trying to install ophcrack
[00:45] <jose> i find ubuntu extremley confusing
[00:45] <alkemann> is it an ubuntu setting or convetion that the area where the mouse pointer turns to a window resize is half a pixel?
[00:45] <evon> jose: what do you need help with?
[00:45] <br0ken85> i need some help. i recently upgraded from 9.04 to 10.04 and i was updating all of my repositories to refelect the upgrade but now i get the following error:
[00:45] <br0ken85> E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/ppa could not be found.
[00:45] <jose> can anyone open a Remote Desktop Viewer and open this iso file for me please
[00:45] <Appl6> evon: ophcrack is in the repos.  Did you run into a problem installing it?
[00:46] <dassouki> would it be more power efficient to run ubuntu off a live cd or of hdd ?
[00:46] <br0ken85> anyone have an idea what this might be? haven't been able to find much after googling it
[00:46] <Coggeshall> acerimmer: yeah. I choose ubuntu
[00:46] <evon> appl6: actually i just saw that it was in the repos.  I already installed it.  Thanks. but for future reference, what should i search for with regards to installing the qt toolkit
[00:47] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: then you get the grub menu.  right?
[00:47] <BitEncrypt> anybody have a computer cooled by flourinert??
[00:47] <bastid_raZor> jose: you need to create liveCD with that iso then format the partition/drive and leave it blank/unformatted .. then boot into the windows CD and off you go
[00:47] <jose> can anyone tell me the easiest way to unpack a iso file
[00:47] <evon> br0ken85: i don't know what that means and i would personally just do a fresh install
[00:47] <jose> but how do i make it a live cd
[00:47] <jose> oh my god im sooo confused
[00:47] <jose> thank god today is friday
[00:47] <acerimmer> jose: learning curve
[00:47] <bastid_raZor> jose: use brasero to burn it to a cd
[00:47] <bob__> Trying to get Netgear Poserline USB Adapter runing on karmic.  How do I connect?
[00:48] <evon> jose: use a burning program to burn and image
[00:48] <chilicui1> why the package firefox-3.5 install ff 3.6.4?, is there a way I can install the real ff 3.5 in ubuntu 10.04?
[00:48] <jose> how do i get brasero
[00:48] <Appl6> evon: I used Google and typed in "install qt toolkit ubuntu" and the second hit was perfectly relevant.
[00:48] <BitEncrypt> ISO image
[00:48] <evon> jose: make sure you choose the 'image' option then choose the .iso file
[00:48] <evon> jose: then boot the computer with that CD
[00:48] <jose> oh found brasero
[00:48] <Coggeshall> acerimmer: by grub I assume you mean the BIOS looking screen where it asks Win XP or Ubuntu. From there it asks me if I want to boot Ubuntu, Ubuntu (recovery), etc...
[00:48] <jose> evon i boot with the livecd or windows cd
[00:48] <evon> appl6: i didn't try that. I will check it out. thanks
[00:48] <judget> just installed fresh Ubuntu studio 10.04 replacing my 9.10 with a fresh install NOT upgrade. No wifi what did i miss?
[00:49] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: right/  boot (recovery)
[00:49] <Coggeshall> acerimmer: yeah. I tried that. It still asks for login account and password
[00:49] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: good
[00:49] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: and that account is the one you created during the install process
[00:50] <jose> evon
[00:50] <bastid_raZor> jose: process what i've just told you. if you follow the directions you will be back installing windows in 15 minutes
[00:50] <Coggeshall> acerimmer: again, I never created an account
[00:50] <jose> can you tell me the instructions again bastid
[00:50] <Coggeshall> acerimmer: it said it was installing and I left around 80%. When I came back it was on my windows desktop
[00:50] <evon> jose: what is your ultimate goal
[00:50] <natjo> okay i'm using ubuntu netbook remix but it's still a live install nothing gets saved like apps i've added or anything i'm using a 16GB thumbdrive and would like to do this any ideas?
[00:50] <jose> to get windows 7 up and running again
[00:51] <aish> :o
[00:51] <evon> appl6: thanks i didn't get any of those links when i searched. I guess the way you typed it worked better then what i typed "download qt toolkit .deb"
[00:51] <evon> jose: then just pop in the windows CD and boot from it
[00:51] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: for some reason you appear to have rebooted with installation incomplete.  I suspect a screen saver interrupt of just plain old funky windows,  Anyway, go into windows, delete ubuntu, then reinstall it.
[00:52] <jose> i cant
[00:52] <jose> wither a NTFS error or it just wont let me boot
[00:52] <Klojum> jose: why not download the rescue-cd of Windows7 and use that to get Win7 going?
[00:52] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: and give serious thought to dual booting - much less heartache
[00:52] <judget> dont have the wifi picker on my task bar after the fresh install opf 10.04 any ideas what did i miss
[00:52] <bastid_raZor> jose: burn the ubuntu iso to a disk using brasero. boot to the liveCD you just created. format the partition/drive and leave it blank or to NTFS ... boot the windows cd and install
[00:52] <evon> jose i don't understand what you mean
[00:53] <jose> so i make the live cd partition to NTFS and install win7?
[00:53] <Coggeshall> acerimmer: 1) how do I uninstall ubuntu
[00:53] <Coggeshall> 2) what do you mean by dual boot
[00:53] <evon> and please type my name before you say something to me so i know when you're talking to me
[00:53] <Appl6> bastid_raZor: Why not tell the Windows CD to use the entire disk for the install?
[00:53] <bastid_raZor> Appl6: windows can not see the ext* partition/disk and therefore can not partition it
[00:53] <acerimmer> Coggeshall: start windows.  go into add/delete programs.  delete ubuntu.
[00:53] <evon> jose: win7 will do that all for you when you boot from the C
[00:54] <hopeless8009> hay does any one know how to ID an IBM mobo
[00:54] <evon> Jose: CD
[00:54] <hopeless8009> i need and audio driver bad
[00:54] <Evanzo> Are there any plans to ship Ubuntu with BCI enabled and the sub-pixel rendering patches applied? My understanding is that some of the relevant patents are now out of date and others would be unlikely to stand up to legal scrutiny. It would make the out of box experience so much better, as right now the default font rendering is terible
[00:54] <jose> i tried to partition it to NTFS it didnt let me
[00:54] <evon> jose what didn't let you?
[00:54] <Appl6> bastid_raZor: It just has to overwrite the partition table; it's not like it has to read from the ext filesystem or interpret the filesystem codes in the partition table.
[00:54] <Coggeshall> acerimmer: and what do you mean by dual boot?
[00:54] <FlameTai1> Can anyone help me get the visual effects working? When ever I try to enable them it flashes a few times and says Desktop effects could not be enabled, I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 using a NVidia GeForce 8400 GS PCI 512MB DDR2, can anyone help me please...?
[00:55] <jose> the cd instsllation
[00:55] <bastid_raZor> Appl6: windows = fail  ..
[00:55] <acerimmer> !dual boot|coggeshall
[00:55] <jose> ok im burning the image
[00:55] <FlameTai1> ...Anyone?
[00:56] <jose> how do i boto from the live cd?
[00:56] <jose> boot*
[00:56] <pfifo> FlameTai1, purchase a new video card
[00:56] <acerimmer> !brainstorm|evanzo
[00:56] <bastid_raZor> jose: once you get into the liveCD install gparted .. use gparted to format the drive
[00:56] <db_loco> has anyone exprienced the following. When logging out and trying to log back in all i get is a blank purple screen. it has happened many times now, ramdomly.  Is this normal or am I  missing some updates?
[00:56] <jose> but isnt the live cd a .EXE?
[00:56] <acerimmer> FlameTai1: see pfifo. you just might have to lay out some $ for eyecandy
[00:57] <evon> jose: make sure that your computer is set to check the CDrom for boot media before it boots from the HD, then turn on your computer making sure that the CD you want to boot from is already in the drive
[00:57] <FlameTai1> acerimmer: $ is one thing I don't have
[00:57] <FlameTai1> xD
[00:57] <jose> so i boot from hte live cd i used gparted then partition it
[00:57] <jose> then install the win 7
[00:58] <jose> ok im done burning it
[00:58] <jose> what now?
[00:58] <evon> bastid_razor: why would jose have to format the drive before he installs windows 7 when windows 7 will do that for him? am i missing something?
[00:59] <jose> evon
[00:59] <evon> jose: what did you just burn and do you already have the windows 7 cd?
[00:59] <bastid_raZor> evon: windows install disk will not see any drive available if it is partition ext3/4 .
[00:59] <jose> i just burned the live cd
[01:00] <evon> bastid_razor: ok i was unaware of that
[01:00] <evon> jose: put the CD in the drive and restart your computer
[01:00] <jose> the live cd?
[01:00] <Notch-1> hi, i've noticed that the networkmanager issue that i'm having is wellknown, there is any workaround for that? it just wont work after the update from karmic to lucid...
[01:00] <evon> jose: yes, which live CD did you burn? was it an ubuntu live cd?
[01:00] <jose> yes
[01:00] <jose> the 10.04
[01:00] <bastid_raZor> jose: be sure to install gparted while booted to the liveCD
[01:01] <pfifo> bastid_raZor, live cd comes with gparted
[01:01] <evon> jose: ok so put the CD in the drive and restart your computer. then open a terminal and type gparted
[01:01] <jose> how do i install gparted?
[01:01] <masteris> ;]
[01:01] <jose> just type in gparted?
[01:01] <evon> jose: gparted is already on the liveCD
[01:01] <CaptainTrek> jose: sudo apt-get install gparted
[01:02] <evon> jose: gparted is already comes with ubuntu. don't worry about installing it
[01:02] <bastid_raZor> pfifo: last liveCD i used was 8.10 and it didn't. good to know it has changed
[01:02] <evon> does anyone know if xchat or any other irc programs are pre-installed in ubuntu liveCD so Jose can rejoin the chat?
[01:02] <jose> so what do i do when i partition it?
[01:03] <evon> he will need instructions on how to use gparted
[01:03] <jose> evon
[01:03] <abuayyoub> Anyone here know anything about usenet / hellanzb?
[01:03] <jose> the live cd wont have xfire
[01:03] <pfifo> bastid_raZor, yes its a welcome change, specially for older memory constrained systems
[01:03] <Notch-1> evon: empaty maybe?
[01:03] <jose> evon
[01:03] <wildbat> evon lubuntu do but no gparted
[01:03] <jose> just tell me the instructions now so i right it down
[01:04] <evon> jose: then restart the computer with the win7 CD in
[01:04] <jose> ok
[01:04] <jose> thats all?
[01:05] <Appl6> evon: Yeah, Notch-1 is right, Empathy is there.
[01:05] <evon> appl6: ok thanks
[01:05] <Notch-1> Appl6: don't know about the irc support anyway...
[01:05] <ajk91> IRC
[01:05] <jose> evon: is that all i do from there?
[01:05] <evon> jose: use empathy to rejoin this channel so i can walk you through the rest
[01:05] <alkemann> whats the command for printing the contents of a small text file in the terminal?
[01:06] <evon> jose: yes that is all if you figure out to reformat the drive to ntfs
[01:06] <jose> empathy is preinstalled?
[01:06] <evon> jose: yes
[01:06] <Appl6> alkemann: Use "cat" if you want to dump all of it; use "less" if you want to be able to scroll up and down with arrow keys.
[01:06] <jose> but how will i join the chat with it
[01:06] <jose> its just a IM client
[01:06] <alkemann> Appl6: thanks
[01:07] <evon> jose. i honestly don't know. i dont use it
[01:07] <Appl6> jose: evon: Notch-1: Empathy is also an IRC client.
[01:07] <jose> ill use xfire if i dont figure it out
[01:07] <jose> ow do i boot from live cd
[01:07] <evon> jose ok ttyl
[01:08] <Notch-1> anybody know how to fix networkmanager or the networking in general in lucid? after the update it's all nonfunctioning... i've tried anything...please

[01:10] <BluesKaj> err boot sequence
[01:10] <jannono> I copied the "Music" folder on my computer running OS X to an external usb drive, formatted the drive--long story--and now i'm running ubuntu and it tells me i don't have the permissions necessary to view the folder. it also says the drive is read-only. what do i do now?
[01:10] <aSSogueroZen_SX> guys, getdeb repo/site got broken?
[01:10] <Notch-1> jannono: partition type?
[01:11] <jannono> Notch-1: sorry, don't know how to check that (you mean of the drive, right?)
[01:11] <BluesKaj> jannono, right click on folder choose prperties/permissions , make executable
[01:11] <Notch-1> use gparted, it's preinstalled i think
[01:12] <caty> Heya, I've been having some problems with getting my graphics tablet to work on ubuntu OS. I found this website online and was wondering if I should follow these instructions or not http://frankgroeneveld.nl/2010/04/11/get-wacom-bamboo-fun-pen-working-in-ubuntu-lucid/ . Many thanks :).
[01:12] <Notch-1> or just type "mount" in a terminal with the drive mounted in wathever way
[01:12] <pfifo> jose, I was tricked into deleting my system32 folder and then tricked into putting my windows CD into the toaster to burn it. How to fix?
[01:12] <blalb> hello
[01:13] <BluesKaj> joschi,
[01:13] <BluesKaj> oops
[01:13] <simple_mind> hi. I've just installed gnome-shell. how do I enable it?
[01:13] <blalb> so when i log into ubuntu it complains that my cpu has security features disabled and tells me to check-bios-nx --verbose
[01:14] <blalb> when i do that it tells me that i can enable nx protection in my bios, but this is not true
[01:15] <musante> is there a channel for ubuntu netbook remix?
[01:15] <blalb> i found out that "nx
[01:15] <sebsebseb> musante: yes this one
[01:15] <home> hi.  I justinstallaed qcad but i can't find it under applications.  Where could it be?
[01:15] <Bisu[Shield]> on ubuntu where would i find the php error logs?
[01:15] <blalb> i found out that "nx protection" is the same thing as "xd protection", but my bios doesnt mention that either. the only settings it has involve boot order and passwords
[01:16] <jannono> in response to my earlier issue, it says i can't edit the permissions because i'm not the owner
[01:16] <pfifo> home, sometimes you need to restart gnome in order for it to show up, you can always just open a terminal and type qcad though
[01:16] <blalb> is there a way you know i can enable this anyway? also, does it really matter?
[01:16] <home> pfifo: ok i'll re startmy pc. thanks
[01:16] <jannono> it says the owner is "99 -user # 99" but i don't know what that means
[01:16] <abuayyoub> hi, is there someone here who can help me with hellanzb/lottanzb
[01:16] <mikubuntu> my volume icon that was usually over in the right side of the top panel has distappeared, and i can't find it anywhere.  also, only my headphones work now, not my speakers on acer laptop
[01:17] <abuayyoub> or anyone know anything about usenet
[01:18] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, right click on the panel, click Add to panel, add the volume plugin back in, and then use it's menu to access the sound preferences, in there unmute the audio output for your speakers.
[01:18] <netbooklvr> im using easypeasy, is there a way to make the desktop not "steal focus" whenever i switch alt tab betweek applications
[01:19] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, its not in the list thats what i don't get
[01:19] <VCoolio> x
[01:19] <VCoolio> x
[01:19] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, its like it was abducted
[01:20] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, did you uninstall anything related to alsa or pulse audio?
[01:20] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, i'm not sure :(
[01:21] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, i think the volume control disappeared, and then i (re)installed pulseaudio, thinking it might be there
[01:21] <NoCode> How can I repair my Ubuntu partition with a LiveCD?
[01:21] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, but that was couple days now, and i'm fuzzy about it
[01:22] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, give me a sec, i'll track down the package name
[01:22] <codebrainz> NoCode, repair?  what's wrong with it?
[01:23] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, thx, i'm losing it
[01:25] <NoCode> codebrainz, Tried the xorg-edgers in Lucid and now xorg isn't working
[01:26] <NoCode> xorg-edgers ppa
[01:26] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, try using the old volume applet, press Alt+F2 and then run the program "gnome-volume-control-applet"
[01:26] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, the new volume icon is part of something called "indicator applet" btw
[01:27] <codebrainz> NoCode, can you not select the "recovery" option in grub when your computer boots?
[01:27] <NoCode> I don't want to do that just yet.
[01:28] <codebrainz> NoCode, it just drops you to a root shell at an early runlevel, won't hurt anything.  then you can uninstall the offending package, reinstall the proper xorg package and remove the ppa from apt sources list
[01:28] <codebrainz> the reboot of course :)
[01:28] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[01:28] <NoCode> Can I, "mkdir /media/chroot" "sudo mount /dev/sda3/ /media/chroot"
[01:29] <charles_> try
[01:29] <codebrainz> NoCode, why?
[01:29] <jose__> hi
[01:29] <jose__> im bacl
[01:29] <jose__> back*
[01:29] <NoCode> Why?
[01:29] <Jorgee> wb
[01:29] <homebrewcider> hey there, is there a way to write directly to the sd card in my canon printer
[01:30] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, the gnome volume control works but only for the headphones
[01:30] <codebrainz> NoCode, you just need to uninstall the bad package and reinstall the right one from the repos.
[01:30] <Guest91237> waht's this
[01:30] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, go to "Sound Prefences" by right clicking, and check the configuration, I'll bet something is muted in there
[01:30] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, what's that indicator applet you speak of
[01:31] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, right clik where?
[01:31] <jose__> can anyoone help me
[01:31] <zoidfarb> hey, I've been having a miserable time getting wifi working on 10.04, I finally got it sort of working by following the steps  here: http://www.ctbarker.info/2010/05/ubuntu-1004-wireless-chipsets-and-wpa.html   and it kinda works, but most of the time it will not get an IP address correctly (even though it associates with the AP). Where should I start troubleshooting a problem with DHCP?
[01:31] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, on the gnome-volume-control-applet icon.  indicator applet is the one that you have running that used to show the volume icon but stopped for unknown reasons
[01:32] <abuayyoub> hi, is there someone here who can help me with hellanzb/lottanzb
[01:32] <^Pete> its a left click on mine - by the way --- on the speaker icon ?
[01:32] <codebrainz> ^Pete, right click here, and yes
[01:32] <NoCode> Says it's not a block device
[01:32] <sebsebseb> jose__: What are you trying to do?
[01:33] <jose__> how can i partition my hard disk?
[01:33] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[01:33] <jose__> i want it to be a NTFS to recover windows 7
[01:33] <codebrainz> NoCode, it sounds like you're making your life hard
[01:33] <codebrainz> jose__, use the program called gparted, it's in the repos and maybe already installed
[01:33] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, i don't have an applet icon
[01:33] <NoCode> Well, I want to chroot from the LiveCD so I can fix my problem while looking at a webpage.
[01:34] <jose__> i dont have it installed one second
[01:34] <NoCode> i don't want to do it in a tty
[01:34] <wildbat> NoCode, you can do it in terminals
[01:34] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, yes, if you run 'gnome-volume-control-applet' like i said, you will have a volume icon appear in the panel
[01:34] <^Pete> mikubuntu - try system > preferences > sound
[01:34] <NoCode> Well, it's not what I want to do.
[01:34] <jannono> how do i make my usb drive not read-only
[01:34] <NoCode> !chroot
[01:35] <Typos_King> jannono:    do, nothing :)
[01:35] <alkemann> been reading up on that help.ubuntu.com site. kudos. it is very very good.
[01:35] <homebrewcider> hey there, is there a way to write directly to the sd card in my canon printer
[01:35] <jose__> i finished installing gparted how do i open it
[01:35] <codebrainz> NoCode, do you not just want to get your X server back?  it's like two or three commands from the terminal.
[01:35] <Guest91237> god can't figure out of these\
[01:35] <jannono> Typos_King, what?
[01:35] <dk> Is there a FUSE module for squashfs?
[01:35] <codebrainz> jose__, type gparted at the shell or in the Alt+F2 run box
[01:35] <Typos_King> jannono:    do, nothing :), easy no?
[01:36] <jose__> it says i need root privileges
[01:36] <Notch-1> anyway, it's still networkmanager the default network manager in lucid?
[01:36] <wildbat> jose__, or System > Admin. > Gparted
[01:36] <wildbat> jose__, gksu gparted
[01:36] <codebrainz> jose__, so type sudo gparted from the shell or gksudo gparted from the Alt+F2 dialog, or find it in the menu
[01:36] <jannono> Typos_King, I don't know what you're saying. I have a portable drive and i need to chmod a folder in it but i can't because it's read-only
[01:37] <wildbat> !gksu | codebrainz
[01:37] <jose__> i have gparted open now what
[01:37] <codebrainz> wildbat, bullshit
[01:37] <NoCode> alright, I think I did it
[01:37] <wildbat> codebrainz, lol
[01:38] <codebrainz> wildbat, in this case anyway :)
[01:38] <br0ken85> i have a question about 10.04. the close, maximize, and minimize buttons on windows is now on the left side instead of the right. i have found where to change the order of these buttons but i cannot find how to move them back to the top right side of the window. anyone know how to do this?
[01:38] <dev2> I'm installing ubuntu server.  I'm in the apt screen and there doesn't seem to be any way to get to the next step.
[01:38] <Typos_King> jannono:    you can't make a usb non-readonly, that'd be like asking how to make a duck meow, is a duck, it doesn't meow, you're assuming that's the case, why not just give us details instead of assuming, I gather your issue is a U3 partition one
[01:38] <codebrainz> br0ken85, in gconf-editor
[01:38] <wildbat> jose__, do what you wanna do ?
[01:38] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, and pete, i have the sound prefs box, but nothing shows as muted
[01:38] <dev2> I can open the package trees and install items  but I can't "proceed"
[01:38] <^Pete> set a new theme in preferences, br0ken85
[01:38] <webroasters> hey guys, need help bigtime! I'm trying to cancel a file operation and all I get is a greyed out box!
[01:39] <jose__> i want to transform /dev/sda1 to a NTFS
[01:39] <wildbat> !controls | br0ken85
[01:39] <webroasters> I'm doing an ftp file operation and i wanted to cancel it
[01:39] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, check the other settings, i'm betting it's something in there :)
[01:39] <br0ken85> codebrainz, i saw how to change the order of the buttons in gconf-editor but now their position on the window
[01:39] <Typos_King> webroasters: ctrl-c :) maybe
[01:39] <webroasters> what do you mean
[01:39] <webroasters> that's copy
[01:39] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, i went under every tab in the dialogue box
[01:39] <CaptainTrek> webroasters:  not in terminal
[01:39] <wildbat> jose__, you need to backup the data from sda1 frist then format it to ntfs in gparted
[01:40] <webroasters> oh ok 1 sec
[01:40] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, not sure then, ask again maybe someone else can help
[01:40] <jose__> i didnt install anythnig or need anything
[01:40] <^Pete> system > preferences > appearance > theme - br0ken85
[01:40] <webroasters> so im supposed to do ctrl + c in terminal
[01:40] <webroasters> to cancel the file operation??
[01:40] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, how can i get the volume control to stay up in the panel?
[01:40] <jose__> so what do i do
[01:40] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, Alt+F2 and then type it in there, it will last for your session
[01:40] <wildbat> jose__, i hope your linux isn't installed in sda1 thou
[01:41] <jose__> it is :(
[01:41] <wildbat> jose__, ubuntu can't run on ntfs ~
[01:41] <mikubuntu> codebrainz, not a perm solution, but it helps
[01:41] <br0ken85> so ^Pete, after changing to a new theme there, the buttons will be on the other side?
[01:41] <jose__> i know
[01:41] <jose__> i want to take off ubuntu
[01:41] <jose__> and run wnidows with NTFS
[01:42] <br0ken85> put in windows install disc and reboot
[01:42] <mikubuntu> jose, why?
[01:42] <codebrainz> mikubuntu, yeah, i'm not sure what's up with the new indicator applet, but it's been annoying thus far.  looks nice though :)
[01:42] <br0ken85> install it after clearing partitions and formatting them NTFS
[01:42] <wildbat> jose__, you just run Windows Setup CD and repartition from there
[01:42] <jose__> ubuntu is to confusing
[01:42] <jose__> it wont let me
[01:42] <Notch-1> does anybody experienced the networkmanager explosion after the upgrade to lucid, like i am?
[01:42] <mikubuntu> jose__, why
[01:42] <Radio> how do I go about moving where notifications appear
[01:42] <vitamin-carrot> explosion?
[01:42] <jose__> it doesnt let me partition
[01:42] <br0ken85> what do you mean explosion Notch-1?
[01:42] <br0ken85> sure it does
[01:43] <codebrainz> jose__, gparted will do anything commercial partitioners will do and then some
[01:43] <Typos_King> jose__:   got a cd burner?
[01:43] <br0ken85> jose, it will show you partitions and you can delete what is there then create an NTFS partition with the newly freed space
[01:43] <mikubuntu> jose__, partition for what
[01:43] <Notch-1> there is no way to get the network working, i've tried anything, several machines and several times
[01:43] <wildbat> jose__, that's windows issue ~ .... you can do gparted in liveCD thou ~
[01:43] <jose__> i tried to boot with out installing
[01:43] <evon> jose: i'm back. what's the update
[01:43] <jose__> wasnt working
[01:43] <jose__> evon can boot from livecd
[01:44] <jose__> tried quite a few tmies
[01:44] <jose__> times*
[01:44] <br0ken85> i know someone having issues with networking manager after upgrading Notch-1, but i don't know their exact issue or how/if they fixed it
[01:44] <Notch-1> it just wont work, it gaved me this strange message during the update, and now it only tell network disabled or networkmanager not running...
[01:44] <jose__> either im screwed or i need to fix something
[01:44] <br0ken85> maybe your HDD is booting before you cd drive and you need to change boot order
[01:44] <toolbear> hello.  i see some "hotkeys" that are labeled <Alt>Button3 (or 4,5,6, etc...).  my question is, what button is Button#?
[01:44] <evon> jose: well that sucks. try downloading "system rescue cd" and burning and booting from that
[01:44] <evon> jose: it has gparted on it too
[01:44] <jose__> how
[01:44] <wildbat> jose__, you need to umount the partition be4 you can gparted
[01:44] <Notch-1> br0ken85: do you have some way to track them down?
[01:44] <Notch-1> i'm desperate
[01:45] <Notch-1> i really need to update, i'm stuck in karmic
[01:45] <br0ken85> Notch-1, possibly, i'll text him now and see what he did
[01:45] <evon> wildbat: isn't he saying that he can't even boot from the live cd?
[01:45] <jose__> wild: if i unmount SDA1 wont it affect it on installing win7?
[01:45] <Notch-1> i can only connect by typing dhclient eth0, every times, and always with lan off course
[01:45] <Notch-1> br0ken85: thank you so much!
[01:45] <br0ken85> jose__, is your cd drive booting before you hard drive? you can change that in the bios if not. it sounds like a possible easy fix to your issue (if this is even what the problem is lol)
[01:45] <abuayyoub> hi, is there someone here who can help me with hellanzb/lottanzb
[01:46] <codebrainz> Notch-1, did you muck around in /etc/network/interfaces?
[01:46] <wildbat> jose__, one thing you can try thou ~ BUT it will wipe your disk, do you have other data in the disc/ partition?
[01:46] <Notch-1> no, it is the same as it was in karmic...
[01:46] <john725> hey guys could anyone recommend the best theme/package to make ubuntu (10.04) look like mac os X? is mac4lin the best? Also, what do you recommend, docky do or AWN (avant window manager)? Thanks
[01:46] <mikubuntu> jose__, what are you trying to do, install ubuntu?  or you already installed?
[01:46] <codebrainz> Notch-1, did you try rebooting to let network-manager restart?
[01:46] <jose__> wild i have a livecd and the win7 installation cd
[01:46] <Notch-1> codebrainz: yes, and also restarted it in any ways
[01:46] <jose__> so unmounting it will be a alternative partition way?
[01:47] <Typos_King> jose__:   got a cd burner?
[01:47] <br0ken85> mikubuntu, he's trying to remove ubuntu and reinstall windows
[01:47] <jose__> yes
[01:47] <Notch-1> codebrainz: even purged and reinstalled
[01:47] <br0ken85> but can't format his hdd to NTFS via the windows install CD
[01:47] <mikubuntu> jose__, have you lost your mind? :)
[01:47] <BluesKaj> Notch-1, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:47] <abuayyoub> john725, there are many themes out there that can make your desktop look just like OSX, docky is probibly the best as far as docks go. CairoDock is really fancy if you like that kinda thing
[01:47] <codebrainz> Notch-1, just in case, check in the file /etc/network/interfaces and make sure eth0 or your interface(s) aren't defined in there
[01:47] <jose__> maybe lol
[01:47] <br0ken85> lol i feel the same way mikubuntu
[01:47] <wildbat> jose__, one thing you can try thou ~ BUT it will wipe your disk, do you have other data you wanna keep in the disc/ partition?
[01:47] <Typos_King> jose__:   http://www.hirensbootcd.net/   <-- burn it, boot it, it has a  bunch of win32 tools, along with a bootable live-win32 as well
[01:48] <abuayyoub> john725,  however, I think there are many gnome themes that put osx to shame.
[01:48] <jose__> i have iwn7 64bit
[01:48] <jose__> win*
[01:48] <br0ken85> Notch-1, my friend replied that he hasn't been able to get it fixed himself yet either.. sorry i was no help :(
[01:48] <mikubuntu> jose__, stay with ubuntu and work your problems out one at a time
[01:48] <jose__> nah
[01:48] <br0ken85> jose__, if you don't mind me asking, why is ubuntu too confusing?
[01:48] <abuayyoub> john725, if I were you I would check out www.gnomelook.com and check out some of the themes there and why copy apple if you can make something that is alot more awesome
[01:49] <jose__> trashbin,programs,taskbar,switching desktops,finding programs,installing programs,how to use the .exe files
[01:49] <john725> abuayyoub, thanks. could you please explain what you mean about cairodock being fancy? Also, I would love it if you could recommend some themes (which one is your fave)?
[01:49] <zorz> Is there a way to run the grub 2 script again, that Ubuntu runs during install.  It seems I reinstalled windows and the UUID changed,
[01:49] <Notch-1> codebrainz: nono, in interface there are just 2 lines: "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback", as always
[01:49] <br0ken85> there are no .exe files.
[01:49] <br0ken85> it just takes time to learn is all.
[01:49] <mckaycr> hey all, I installed ubuntu 10.04, and I no longer can find the 3D window option in my Compiz Manager
[01:49] <br0ken85> and trust me, it could be MUCH more confusing (for example, at work we use gentoo)
[01:49] <LordStanley> questions...so I'm trying to watch the live stream of MLG, and i've got the octoshape part down and still need to install sun-java6-bin...however when i try to do it, it says it couldn't find the package
[01:49] <mikubuntu> jose__, and those arent even problems
[01:49] <Notch-1> br0ken85: it's all i can find on the net, everybody gaved up and reinstalled from scratch, even no bug filed...
[01:49] <colen> gjc;
[01:50] <jose__> i know mik
[01:50] <jose__> i just dont like ubuntu
[01:50] <wildbat> jose__, Do : sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4096 count=1024;     this will wipe your disk first 4M , clear the mbr and partition table
[01:50] <Notch-1> br0ken85: anyway thank you, let me know if something changes
[01:50] <mckaycr> I love ubuntu
[01:50] <mikubuntu> jose__, those are challenges that we have all learned from each other one process at a time
[01:50] <zorz> Is there a way to run the grub2 script again, that Ubuntu runs during install.  It seems I reinstalled windows and the UUID changed,
[01:50] <br0ken85> Notch-1, that sucks. i hate when the only option available is a fresh install :-/
[01:50] <jose__> wild so that will partition it and make it NTFS or jut partition
[01:50] <jose__> i need it NTFS also
[01:50] <Notch-1> br0ken85: yeah, it's a shame, all that work...
[01:51] <abuayyoub> john725,  Cairodock ( or XGL dock i think its called now ) it has all kinda nifty compiz features, the icons spin and burst into flame and jump all over the place if you into that kinda thing CairoDock is what you want. If you want just a simple dock that looks good and is stable go with Docky. I love Docky but it is stil buggy, they are all buggy actually AWN never really did anything for me. I actually find myself using DockbarX which is a windows 7
[01:51] <abuayyoub> inspired dock bar which is amazing
[01:51] <LordStanley> can someone help me install sun-java6-bin or point me instructions
[01:51] <codebrainz> Notch-1, it's not a fix per se, but you could try uninstalling network-manager alltogether and use 'wicd' http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
[01:51] <wildbat> jose__, windows setup will make it~ it looks the drives as if it is new
[01:51] <br0ken85> i love ubuntu. even though ubuntu is usually considered a ubuntu distro for newer users, i work in IT and maintain 5 or more linux servers so i'm fairly experienced and i still prefer ubuntu personally
[01:51] <hiexpo> evening all
[01:51] <codebrainz> Notch-1, it's debatably better anyway
[01:51] <Notch-1> codebrainz: really?
[01:51] <abuayyoub> john725, basically, cairo dock has a whole hell of a lot of features. you can spend hours configuring it
[01:52] <BluesKaj> when wicd is installed ,it disables nm by default
[01:52] <hiexpo> BluesKaj, yes
[01:52] <br0ken85> now that people are talking here, maybe someone can help me out. how can i move the exit, maximize, and minimize buttons to the top right corner of the window? after upgrading to 10.04, these buttons are on the left and it's driving me wild
[01:52] <jose__> but wild the cid for installiton is a upgrade cd
[01:52] <codebrainz> Notch-1, yep, or alternatively, you can just configure your network within the /etc/network/interfaces file and ditch the gui's altogether
[01:52] <abuayyoub> hi, is there someone here who can help me with hellanzb/lottanzb
[01:52] <jose__> will it still work?
[01:52] <Notch-1> codebrainz: i never really tried but the new networkmanager let me connet with my nokia in 2 clicks, i'm afraid to change right now
[01:52] <codebrainz> br0ken85, someone answered you up there ^^
[01:52] <wildbat> jose__,  nope then ~
[01:53] <codebrainz> Notch-1, wicd is user-friendly
[01:53] <john725> abuayyoub, mmm thanks. ill look into. yeah, i saw the dockbarx on the gnome-look site and it looks real good. Another quick question, hopefully you can help me out. if i want to customize my desktop environment so that i can have multiple desktops and use a 3d cube or soemthing, do i need compiz fusion or is there something better?
[01:53] <wildbat> jose__, you need a OLD windows, in order to upgrade !
[01:53] <Notch-1> codebrainz: nono, i have  a live system, it's on a usb pen that i attache everywere, i can't reconfigure the network anytime, i need an automatic system...
[01:53] <br0ken85> hmm i saw someone give me a URL that said that bug was a nonfix and i don't believe it can't be changed
[01:53] <BluesKaj> codebrainz, /etc/network/interfasces is easier to configure with eth0 than wlan0
[01:53] <jose__> so im stuk with a ubuntu?
[01:53] <jannono> Okay, I tried to do some research but Typos_King, I don't understand what you're saying whatsoever. How is a USB connected drive not writable? USB connected drives have always been both readable and writable in my experiences except when specifically set not to be. I have no idea what you're saying.
[01:53] <hiexpo> br0ken85, right click on them unclick lock to panel than right click again and move
[01:53] <Notch-1> codebrainz: i'm sure tring it, thanks
[01:53] <codebrainz> BluesKaj, agreed
[01:54] <br0ken85> codebrainz, can you show me what someone said? i can't find anything but that URL
[01:54] <br0ken85> hiexpo, not exactly what i was talking about but thank you lol
[01:54] <Notch-1> but still, i'd like to get networkmanager back...
[01:54] <bastid_raZor> !gparted | jose__ get a gparted liveCD to format your drive
[01:54] <hiexpo> br0ken85, ok
[01:54] <viper6> looking for advice on firefox video since latest upgrade
[01:54] <BluesKaj> codebrainz, ,I've tried and it's too arcane for my wifi abilities
[01:54] <codebrainz> br0ken85, out of my scrollback, hang on a sec
[01:54] <hiexpo> !firefox | viper
[01:54] <br0ken85> k
[01:55] <hiexpo> oops
[01:55] <hiexpo> !firefox | viper6
[01:55] <wildbat> jose__, get a non-upgrade version of windows ~ http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/7126-The-Official-Windows-7-Repository and ask in #windows
[01:55] <viper6> since upgrade, lots of green screen in firefox, suspect java
[01:55] <br0ken85> codebrainz, it really shocked me when i logged into 10.04 for the first time and those buttons were on the other opposite side haha
[01:55] <mckaycr> all, I can't find 3D Windows in my CompizConfig Manager after moving from 9.10 to 10.04.
[01:55] <rodriesp> hello to all this community
[01:55] <mewshi> my right-click isn't working anymore.  can someone please help me fix it?
[01:55] <jose__> ubott and bastid i have aupgrade cd of windows 7
[01:55] <wildbat> jose__, we are getting offtopic ~ pm me if need ~
[01:56] <hiexpo> mckaycr,  make sure simple ccsm is installed
[01:56] <codebrainz> br0ken85, yeah, not too many people like them, but it's not a democracy unfortunately.
[01:56] <rodriesp> i wonder if you could help me with some problem I'm having with Xubuntu 10.03
[01:56] <padhu> I am having problem in empathy for yahoo messenger
[01:56] <rodriesp> 10.04
[01:56] <abuayyoub> john725, for all the cool effects like the cube and such all you have to do is download CCSM (compiz config settings manager ) you can get it from the software center just search for it. It lets you enable all the cool little effects.
[01:56] <padhu> anybody help me to rectify it
[01:56] <lenoxOH> hello, i am trying to install ubuntu netbook for the first time and am hoping someone can help
[01:56] <br0ken85> codebrainz, well it's linux so it should be changeable lol
[01:56] <wildbat> !restristed | viper6
[01:56] <abuayyoub> Anyone here know anything about usenet / hellanzb? help me with a big problem I have
[01:56] <hiexpo> padhu,  switch to pidgin better in my aspect
[01:56] <mckaycr> hiexpo: I have advanced CCSM...
[01:56] <codebrainz> br0ken85, under gconf-editor, apps->metacity->general->button layout, i have 'menu:minimize,maximize,close'
[01:57] <rodriesp> when i press ctrl-alt-f1 it doesn't go to console
[01:57] <wildbat> !restricted | viper6
[01:57] <koshari> lenoxOH: whats the prob
[01:57] <br0ken85> yea codebrainz, that controls what order they show up on the window
[01:57] <br0ken85> unfortunately, not which side
[01:57] <viper6> thank you
[01:57] <rodriesp> when i press ctrl-alt-f1 it doesn't go to console
[01:57] <hiexpo> mckaycr, never heard of that one maybe new to ubuntu 10.04
[01:57] <codebrainz> br0ken85, and i believe the colon in there control the side, mine are on the right
[01:57] <br0ken85> ah ok
[01:57] <br0ken85> let me double check then
[01:57] <jannono> I have a WD Passport that I've always been able to write to from OS X but right now, via Ubuntu, it is "read-only" and I don't know why. I don't know what other information is relevant.
[01:58] <padhu> hiexpo: Pidgin in Ubuntu 8.10 also gives trouble
[01:58] <mckaycr> hiexpo: sorry, Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm)
[01:58] <codebrainz> jannono, pastbin the output of the command 'mount' or just paste the relevant line here
[01:58] <mckaycr> hiexpo: I will install simple ccsm
[01:58] <pfifo> rodriesp, you need to goto #xubunt as you will only get help regarding gnome here
[01:59] <lenoxOH> i used Universal-USB-Installer as directed and put the Netbook Edition ISO on it as directed
[01:59] <hiexpo> padhu, i have been using pidgin for years and never had any probwith it at all useing it on 9.10 right now
[01:59] <rodriesp> ohh thanks
[01:59] <Typos_King> jannono:   exactly my point, they're always by far R/W, but there are very few proprietary exceptions when they aren't, but you started asking as if it was the norm, reason why I though you are dealing with some proprietary read-only stuff like U3
[01:59] <toolbear> is there any central location for "default settings" stored on ubuntu?  for example, when you create a new user, their account is endowed with a set of default settings
[01:59] <lenoxOH> i cannot for the life of me get the netbook to boot to the USB drive
[01:59] <br0ken85> haha that did it codebrainz. i had edited that same exact line 4-5 times. mine is how i want it now but before button_layout was "minimize,maximize,close:"
[01:59] <mikubuntu> jose__, i wonder if you just din't get enough support from the start .. i know when i first came over to the Force i wanted everything now, now, now .. but the help channels don't really work that way
[01:59] <Logicwrath> anyone know where i can get a LogAnalyzer 3.0 package from?
[01:59] <acerimmer_> toolbear: there config is usually in the /home
[01:59] <john725> abuayyoub, thanks so much for all the help. it's nice to be back #ubuntu , people here are so much nicer and more helpful (not to mention smarter) than the generally d1cks over at #mac
[01:59] <padhu> hiexpo:  tell me your configuration setting
[01:59] <padhu> please
[01:59] <codebrainz> br0ken85, yeah, i think the menu: means the menu, then the title, then the rest on the right
[01:59] <koshari> lenoxOH try a usb pendrive and unetbootin
[01:59] <mikubuntu> you have to do/learn things sort of one at a time
[02:00] <br0ken85> codebrainz, i changed it to what yours said, but left the ":" at the end and they switched side, just with no ecit button. i removed the ":" and they were all there
[02:00] <jannono> it says mount failed because it's already mounted, according to "mtab"
[02:00] <hiexpo> padhu, to use yahoo
[02:00] <hiexpo> padhu, with pidgin
[02:00] <pfifo> lenoxOH, can you boot the stick in a different computer? if so check you laptops bios settings and/or press the hotkey at boot time that brings up the boot menu
[02:00] <br0ken85> thank you very much for the help codebrainz, that really was bothering me lol
[02:00] <padhu> hiexpo: yes., yes
[02:00] <codebrainz> jannono, just the output of the command 'mount' with no options
[02:00] <Typos_King> jannono:   so is mounted then :)
[02:00] <codebrainz> br0ken85, no worries, it bothered me as well
[02:00] <lenoxOH> koshari, i did use pendrive to create the USB, but i have no idea what unetbootin is
[02:00] <jannono> oh, sorry. yes, it's mounted
[02:00] <hiexpo> podhuone sec let me see you need a package
[02:01] <codebrainz> jannono, pastebin the output of that command, i want to see the mount options used
[02:01] <toolbear> acerimmer_: yes, but that's only AFTER the user gets created.  these settings have to come from somewhere, I just want to know if there's one (or a few) central location(s) for them, or if it is just program-specific?
[02:01] <acerimmer_> toolbear: understood.  IDK
[02:01] <koshari> lenoxOH: its a util that does the same as the usbcreator but give choice of isos, so you have a bootable usb pendrive? try it in another machine to prove it if you can
[02:01] <toolbear> acerimmer_: thanks anyways
[02:01] <mikubuntu> but i have often thought that the channel should offer some set times to start clean installation sessions, and set new users up with as complete a starter system as possible, based on their wants and needs, and what their hardware will allow
[02:02] <lenoxOH> pfifo, it seems there is a step missing in ubuntu's instruction page.  is there some point where an installation should occur, or does it just work by booting to the usb?
[02:02] <jannono> http://pastebin.org/307756
[02:02] <koshari> lenoxOH: you dont need to use unetbootin if you have used the ubuntu boot tool instead
[02:02] <codebrainz> toolbear, the default user profile comes from /etc/skel afair
[02:02] <abuayyoub> john725,  It used to be that linux was behind in the game but with this new release of Lucid and the upcoming releases of Gnome and Gnome_shell, windows & Mac are gonna be playing catch-up linux is the future man seriously.
[02:02] <mckaycr> hiexpo: now I have CCSM and simple CCSM.  Still can't find the 3D option.  in 9.10 I only needed CCSM
[02:02] <koshari> lenoxOH: you may need to enable f12 bootmanu or something similar in the bios
[02:03] <linux_is_my_hero> my sound on my computer doesn't work.
[02:03] <mikubuntu> maybe even a separate 'installation' channel to start group installation sessions at appointed times each day
[02:03] <codebrainz> jannono, it's mounted R/W.  what is the error you get again?  (Specifc text of the error)
[02:03] <acerimmer_> mikubuntu: #ubuntu-beginners
[02:03] <pfifo> lenoxOH an installation of what? Im assuming you mean installing the live system to a usb stick, but you could also mean installing ubuntu to the hard drive
[02:03] <mikubuntu> and of course, i'm just talking to myself
[02:03] <linux_is_my_hero> in my panel, i have a hollow speaker with dotted lines instead of the regular speaker with sound waves
[02:03] <toolbear> codebrainz: ok, thanks!
[02:04] <jannono> chmod: changing permissions of `Music': Read-only file system
[02:04] <john725> abuayyoub, yeah, id been using ubuntu for like 2 years, but then I bought a macbook pro for college (for the resale value) and havent really run ubuntu natively on it since over at #mac an apple tech tells me he fixes fried/over heated boards allegedly caused by natively running OSes other than mac os x...
[02:04] <lenoxOH> no, it's ubuntu's own instructions for "trial" found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
[02:04] <hiexpo> mckaycr, ok now go to system\apperance\visual effects and select custom
[02:04] <lenoxOH> i am attempting the stick in another laptop
[02:04] <codebrainz> jannono, and you get this on the /media/Password mount?
[02:04] <mikubuntu> ooops, somebody heard me ... well, i've been coming to #ubuntu for three years, and thats the first i hear of ubuntu-beginners .. hahaha
[02:05] <clayg> anyone willing to give me there sources.lst?
[02:05] <acerimmer_> mikubuntu: I'd say install that as one of the default urls in firefox
[02:05] <jannono> codebrainz, the error when i mount is that it's already mounted, the error when i try to do anything is that it's read-only
[02:05] <abuayyoub> john725,  he's a fanboiii
[02:05] <mckaycr> hiexpo: already checked that out after install. none of the tabs give me the 3D option
[02:05] <codebrainz> jannono, on the HFS filesystem right?
[02:06] <mckaycr> hiexpo: CCSM actually has a lot more options available then simple CCSM
[02:06] <padhu> hiexpo: are you there?
[02:06] <hiexpo> ok did u install the [propitory video drivers
[02:06] <pfifo> lenoxOH, is the stick known to boot corectly?
[02:06] <hiexpo> padhu, yes still looking sorry
[02:06] <mckaycr> hiexpo: duh.... my bad let me go do that now
[02:06] <codebrainz> jannono, could be your problem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/hfsplus
[02:06] <boing> trying to install adobe-flashplugin err adobe-flashplugin is virtual
[02:07] <lenoxOH> koshari, i finally did figure out how to get into the bios and i even set it to boot from nothing other "than removable device".  It does not find any with the stick in any of the three USB ports
[02:07] <abuayyoub> john725,  I started using linux off and on for the last 10 years, went to a windows machine then a mac then back to a windows machine, starting using ubuntu from Daper Drake and fell in love. Lucid tho is amazing I lvoe this distro man friggin fantastic
[02:07] <lenoxOH> pfifo, i am trying it in another laptop now
[02:07] <Typos_King> clayg:   http://paste2.org/p/865014
[02:07] <padhu>  hiexpo: see my private message
[02:07] <jannono> codebrainz: thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed.
[02:08] <john725> abuayyoub, lucid seems nice, just installed it today on my desktop, going to try and sell my mbp
[02:08] <koshari> lenoxOH can you enable the f12 boot menu in the bios, my notbook is fickle boting from the usb unless i tell it in the f12 screen
[02:08] <kzman> which is the mono package to execute clr binaries (.NET framework)?
[02:08] <clayg> Typos_King, thanks how do i remove the numbers from the left side?
[02:08] <codebrainz> jannono, no prob
[02:08] <boing> trying to install adobe-flashplugin error adobe-flashplugin is virtual
[02:08] <lenoxOH> on the other laptop, i get "missing operating system"
[02:08] <zetheroo> I am wondering if it's at all possible to only accept updates of certain packages from a certain source and not from the default source?
[02:09] <clayg> Typos_King, oh nm it worked, thanks alot
[02:09] <lenoxOH> i am positive now that ubuntu's instructions are incomplete
[02:09] <Typos_King> hehe
[02:09] <mikubuntu> acerimmer, i'm gonna lurk in ubuntu-beginners and see how they work ... i'm not a codewonkie like a lot of these hotshots here in ubuntu, but i have helped a lot of friends switch to ubuntu, and NONE have ever gone back ..
[02:09] <hiexpo> padhu, did you click add new that select yahoo add user name and password
[02:09] <zetheroo> lenoxOH: which instrauctions?
[02:09] <zetheroo> lenoxOH: instructions*
[02:10] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, these instructions: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download
[02:10] <Ls2> can somebody help me install octoshape if they know how
[02:10] <Ls2> i've got most of it done...but i don't know what else i'm doing wrong
[02:10] <abuayyoub> john725,  noone can argue that apple has the sickest hardware, osx is good too dont get me wrong I do like it.  but Linux just gives you freedom ( for better or worse ) that you just dont have on osx and windows.  OsX is a good OS IMO and Windows 7 ( shoot me for saying it ) is actually ALMOST decent, but really nothing beats ubuntu these days for people who really love computers.
[02:10] <codebrainz> does anyone know how to get the textbox back for the address bar in nautilus, instead of these buttons?
[02:10] <zetheroo> lenoxOH: what part?
[02:11] <padhu> hiexpo: already working one. But it troubles from 2 month bfore
[02:11] <zetheroo> I am wondering if it's at all possible to only accept updates of certain packages from a certain source and not from the default source?
[02:11] <Typos_King> lenoxOH    IIRC, to boot a live-usb you will  need to include Grub in the stick, -> sudo grub-install /dev/USBDEVICEHERE;  and you also need to have the boot sequence in the machine BIOS to  usb before any other device
[02:11] <edbian> codebrainz, I'd also like to know...
[02:11] <abuayyoub> john725,  Ubuntu on a MBP = Win in my opinion
[02:11] <pfifo> lenoxOH, it seems that the stick setup didnt work, google unetbootin and try that method instead
[02:11] <ac1dburnz> join
[02:11] <lenoxOH> zetheroo: i accomplished steps one and two, but then three makes it sound like it "just works"
[02:12] <acerimmer_> abuayyoub: why?  *hackintosh cough cough*
[02:12] <hiexpo> padhu, ok u need libpurple and a microblogging agent that is only available through getdeb which is down
[02:12] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, i have a feeling there's an installation program i haven't run or something
[02:12] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: and I gather it doesn't for you
[02:12] <ubuntu2> hello all
[02:12] <ubuntu2> when i put my usb in my gsm
[02:12] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: you are set to boot from USB in your BIOS, yes?
[02:12] <ubuntu2> and not found partition of memory card
[02:12] <ubuntu2> ?
[02:12] <codebrainz> edbian, press Ctrl+L and the breadcrumbs buttons turn into a text box.  woohoo!
[02:12] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, neither computer i tried sees the USB stick as having an OP system on it
[02:12] <Chaosmos> Yeah?
[02:13] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, yes
[02:13] <edbian> codebrainz, There are a couple other shortcuts
[02:13] <edbian> http://linux.about.com/library/gnome/blgnome6n3c.htm
[02:13] <abuayyoub> acerimmer_, Best hardware, best software = win
[02:13] <john725> abuayyoub, yeah the would be amazing, in my opinion no other manufacture makes laptops as sexy as macbook pros, but their specs arent that great and i think there is a lot of truth behind what the main guy (branes) over at #mac says, there problem has something to do with this apple propertary  power management thing i forget what its called
[02:13] <codebrainz> edbian, oh, but it doesn't stay a textbox!?
[02:13] <edbian> codebrainz, It doesn't stay
[02:13] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: did you create the bootable USB from Windows, Mac or Linux?
[02:13] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, windows
[02:13] <edbian> codebrainz, I'd love to change the default.  I don't particularly care for the buttons although I do see their advantage
[02:14] <hiexpo> !pm | padhu
[02:14] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: and you have inspected the USB and made certain that there are indeed the files present ...
[02:14] <twomashi> Hi.. Im trying to install haskell-network but its not showing up in an aptitude search
[02:14] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, windows... using the Universal USB Installer found at the site
[02:14] <twomashi> though it seems to exist: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haskell-network/2.2.1.4-1
[02:15] <codebrainz> edbian, in thunar file manager in xfce, it's just under the view menu, to toggle views, where it logically makes sense to have it
[02:15] <edbian> codebrainz, Tell me about it!  I love gnome and I hate gnome :P
[02:16] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, yes, there are several directories and files including autorun, usb-creator, and wubi
[02:16] <ecc> in vlc, for option "adjust vlc priority", is a negative offset or positive offset give higher priority to it?
[02:16] <mckaycr> I can't find the restricted drivers for my Dell D630
[02:16] <Don9307> Is the next version of Ubuntu Linux going to be known as Maverick McCain?
[02:16] <abuayyoub> john725, not sure. OSX is based on Unix and it uses intel chips so I dont see how there could be a problem. But Thats a question for someone alot smarter than me lol
[02:16] <acerimmer_> Don9307: DOH
[02:16] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: ok ... and when you created the bootable USB did you tick the box to format the drive?
[02:17] <edbian> Don9307, ha ha haha
[02:17] <edbian> Don9307, That would be great.
[02:17] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, yes
[02:17] <acerimmer_> mckaycr: what driver's do u need
[02:17] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, do i need to run autorun IN windows first, then go back and boot from the stick?
[02:17] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: believe me when I say that I know how frustrating it is when things are written as if they should "just work" and they just don't
[02:17] <mckaycr> acerimmer_: video... I'm trying to enable 3D windows.. I thought I had it working in 9.10 but it might have been a D620 then
[02:18] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: no, it should be working on it's own 100%
[02:18] <stevecam> mckaycr, what graphics card have you got?
[02:18] <acerimmer_> mckaycr: ubunut-restricted-extras installed??
[02:18] <lenoxOH> zetheroon, yeah it's just that i have spent most of this evening getting this set up, and now I cannot even see if i like it on my netbook
[02:18] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: I have done this only twice in the past ... and once it was an absolute hassle ... and the other time it was a breeze ...
[02:18] <pfifo> 10.10 is Merry Moo Moo Cow
[02:18] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, i KNOW i don't like XP on there
[02:18] <mckaycr> acerimmer_: if its not stock, probably not.  Checking now
[02:19] <ac1dburnz> mckaycr,  check System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[02:19] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: I am going to give this a shot here and see what happens - ok?
[02:19] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, much appreciated!
[02:19] <mckaycr> ac1dburnz: already checked... only thing showing there is wireless dirvers
[02:19] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: do you have any Ubuntu systems there?
[02:20] <dabaR> l
[02:20] <stevecam> have you got compizconfig-settings-manager installed?
[02:20] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, nope this is my first shot
[02:20] <nagi> Hi
[02:20] <mckaycr> stevecam: yup
[02:20] <edbian> nagi, Hello
[02:20] <lenoxOH> i tried jolicloud and liked it, but there's not tethering option
[02:20] <zetheroo>  lenoxOH: oof, not going to well they ay ... ;)
[02:20] <nagi> I'm Japanese
[02:20] <Don9307> Anyone know how to get your favorite programs to startup at boot time in Ubuntu like you can do in the other OS (Win)?
[02:21] <lenoxOH> *not=no
[02:21] <acerimmer_> !jp|nagi
[02:21] <jrib> !startup | Don9307
[02:21] <hiexpo> mckaycr, what exactly are you trying to use in compiz?
[02:21] <edbian> Don9307, System -> Preferences -> Start-Up (or maybe it's called sessions)
[02:21] <Don9307> ubottu:  Thanks.
[02:21] <ecc> in vlc, for option "adjust vlc priority", is a negative offset or positive offset give higher priority to it?
[02:21] <edbian> Don9307, Damn bot.  Beat me to it!
[02:21] <stevecam> mckaycr, that's all i can think of, what GPU did you have again?
[02:21] <abuayyoub> Anyone here use HellaNZB or other usenet binary program?\
[02:21] <padhu>  hiexpo: what will be choice to get it?
[02:22] <mckaycr> hiexpo: when I rotate the cude desktop, my windows don't float over the cube anymore like in 9.10.  It's trivial I know, but I really liked it
[02:22] <Chaosmos> I use NZB.
[02:23] <hiexpo> padhu, your trying to make it more complicated that it really is all u need ro do is click add click yahoo add username than password routind address etc not needed
[02:23] <zetheroo> lenoxOH: an you did this from Windows XP or 7?
[02:23] <Don9307> edbian:  In 10.04 it's System | Preferences | Startup Applications
[02:23] <Euthanatos> whatever happened to menu.1st?
[02:23] <hiexpo> mckaycr, did u make sure rotate cube was still checked ?
[02:24] <edbian> Don9307, There ya go.  Thanks.  Having any trouble using it?
[02:24] <mckaycr> hiexpo: of course
[02:24] <acerimmer_> Euthanatos: grub2 - menu.lst - menu.cfg
[02:24] <hiexpo> mckaycr, ok u'd be amazed lol
[02:24] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, i ran the Universal USB Installer in W7, but it is for a netbook currently running XP
[02:24] <mckaycr> hiexpo: it rotates just fine, the windows just don't have that hover effect
[02:24] <padhu> hiexpo: ok, I will try it one more time :-)
[02:25] <edbian> mckaycr, You can get that back in ccsm
[02:25] <mckaycr> hiexpo: totally understand, I work in a service desk
[02:25] <Euthanatos> no menu.cfg either
[02:25] <koshari> 4
[02:25] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, some confusing heap of shell scripts that's hard to edit
[02:25] <mckaycr> edbian: the option isn't in CCSM anymore since I moved from 9.10 to 10.04
[02:25] <padhu> hiexpo: thanks for your ideas
[02:25] <edbian> mckaycr, You're kidding!
[02:26] <wildbat> !grub2 | Euthanatos
[02:26] <FyreFoX> when I add a disk to ubuntu and set it up with luks, when it comes time to reboot will ubuntu luksClose and umount the device or is that something I need to configure manually
[02:26] <mckaycr> edbian: I can't find it, even in the advanced manager
[02:26] <Euthanatos> thanks
[02:26] <edbian> mckaycr, Man Ubuntu is really taking things into a less customizable state.  You can't customize that or your log in splash anymore either!
[02:26] <well_laid_lawn> ecc: there is #videolan if noone here knows
[02:26] <Euthanatos> i've been out of the loop since hardy =P
[02:26] <hiexpo> mckaycr, make sure you have animations checked and go into simple ccsm and check settings it's weird sometimes they conflict each other but have to have them both to work
[02:26] <edbian> mckaycr, I guess we both should just switch to gentoo ;)
[02:26] <mckaycr> edbian: i don't think its ubuntu, I think I just don't have my restricted drivers installed
[02:27] <davem__> on lucid i only boot up on a black screen and a blinking cursor on the top left afterwards comes de GDM log in, is this normal?
[02:27] <acerimmer_> edbian: of COURSE you can customize login!  http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[02:27] <mckaycr> hiexpo:  I have played with that option already... still no go
[02:27] <knoppies> edbian Im still on 9.04 so that I can customize GDM, I dont know if 10.04 allows you to yet.
[02:27] <zetheroo> lenoxOH: ok no worries .. just going to load my Windows 7 VM then
[02:27] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, you have to edit/add shell scripts under /etc/grub.d now
[02:27] <anand_> Hi people. Im trying to install the Linux Version of Descent Freespace. and am getting the following. /home/anand/.setup2973: symbol lookup error: /home/anand/.setup2973: undefined symbol: GTK_TYPE_SPIN_BUTTON_UPDATE_POLICY
[02:27] <edbian> mckaycr, Doubtful.  You missing / having different drivers is not going to edit what code was compiled into the CCSM package :)
[02:27] <edbian> acerimmer_, I love the spirit of linux
[02:27] <lenoxOH> zetheroo, okay... in the meantime i am going to launch the autorun that's on the stick (on the netbook) and see what damage i can do
[02:28] <anand_> Hi people. Im trying to install the Linux Version of Descent Freespace. and am getting the following. /home/anand/.setup2973: symbol lookup error: /home/anand/.setup2973: undefined symbol: GTK_TYPE_SPIN_BUTTON_UPDATE_POLICY
[02:28] <rycar> I'm on 10.04, and have a workstation setup with samba and lighttpd.  I can connect to it just fine from my mac, but when I try connecting from my windows machine it just sort of sits there and the connection doesn't seem to go anywhere.  Any suggestions?
[02:28] <codebrainz> anand_, try installing the gtk2 dev packages, look on package search
[02:28] <anand_> codebrainz: thanks
[02:28] <knoppies> thanks acerimmer_
[02:28] <mckaycr> edbian: very disappointing then, I really liked that feature
[02:28] <Don9307> Maybe the next version of Ubuntu will be called Mischievous Mer-cat
[02:28] <boing> need help setting p for dual monitors
[02:28] <edbian> mckaycr, Like I said.  Switch to gentoo! ha ha :)
[02:28] <clgy15> So what happens if you just compile the kernel and nothing else? All you have on the hardrive is the kernel
[02:29] <mckaycr> Ubuntu forever!!
[02:29] <hiexpo> edbian,  bad lol
[02:29] <davem__> does lucid the graphical boot is called plymonth?
[02:29] <edbian> hiexpo, XD
[02:29] <mckaycr> lol, never played with Gentoo, have to check it out sometime
[02:29] <acerimmer_> davem__: yes
[02:30] <hiexpo> edbian,  - or maybe pentoo
[02:30] <acerimmer_> "plymouth"
[02:30] <edbian> mckaycr, Customizability : Unparalleled
[02:30] <cardamon> Having trouble getting a video playing when my EeePC is splitting display across it's screen and an external monitor (in this case, a HD television via the VGA out)
[02:30] <anand_> codebrainz: Hi, they already seem to be installed
[02:30] <cardamon> It plays fine without the TV hookup, but apparently they don't want to play video together.
[02:30] <clgy15> So what happens if you just compile the kernel and nothing else? All you have on the hardrive is the kernel
[02:31] <Euthanatos> offhand why might my grub menu fail to load up given I've not messed with grub yet at all since installing.  All I changed was popping another IDe HDD and a PCIe1 wifi card into the box I can't for the life of me figure out why it would cause the grub menu to fail to appear and also adjust my display resolution so my monitor fails.  Now my monitor is broken and i can't boot in failsafex
[02:31] <koshari> i dont like raid or lvm, limits recovery options
[02:31] <codebrainz> anand_, then it pretty much sounds like a bug in the s/w or you're missing something else
[02:31] <oblu> koshari: lol lame
[02:31] <hiexpo> edbian,  - ubuntu is easiest for the green
[02:31] <edbian> hiexpo, Definitely
[02:31] <boing> how can i up set up for dual monitors
[02:31] <oblu> boing: google it
[02:31] <anand_> codebrainz: ok. Ill try to catch icculus
[02:31] <edbian> hiexpo, I learned on ubuntu then I switched to Debian
[02:31] <anand_> codebrainz: thanks
[02:31] <Euthanatos> and this new grub stuff is definately not idiot friendly
[02:31] <well_laid_lawn> clgy15: there's no initrd to get it booting and no grub to select it
[02:31] <acerimmer_> Euthanatos: different hdd would do it.  the device has a unique ID number that grub seeks out.  Change the device and ...
[02:31] <boing> oblu, then why is this channel here
[02:31] <mckaycr> hiexpo: I'm pretty green, only been playing with ubuntu for 4 years
[02:32] <mckaycr> linux for that matter
[02:32] <Euthanatos> acerimmer_, all i did was add an IDE HDD the system boots off a SATA drive
[02:32] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, maybe try 'update-grub' ?
[02:32] <edbian> mckaycr, You're not green ;)  Some people on here don't even know what compiz is.
[02:32] <oblu> boing: google it
[02:32] <hiexpo> edbian,  - ubuntu more green friendly lol almost crash proof
[02:32] <well_laid_lawn> Euthanatos: it is the same as the old grub just the ## options are moved to files
[02:32] <unknown> ircnode.pl
[02:32] <edbian> hiexpo, "ubuntu more green friendly lol ALMOST crash proof
[02:32] <boing> oblu dont waste the bandwith with ur lame comments
[02:32] <clgy15> okay so if you include initrd and grub what happens? what commands does it run after the kernel moves to its protected space? Is there a way to tell it to run a home made graphical manager
[02:33] <Euthanatos> codebrainz, yeah i see that but can i run that from a liveCD
[02:33] <oblu> boing: love you too
[02:33] <hiexpo> hahah
[02:33] <cardamon> Clarification: Video is not visible when EeePC and external monitor are working in extended desktop.  Works fine on one, the other, or cloned.
[02:33] <well_laid_lawn> clgy15: what are you trying to do? - sounds like you need linux from scratch
[02:34] <ne0futur> hi all, i m trying ubuntu 10.04 and I cant have my external monitor working
[02:34] <knoppies> cardamon, sounds very similar to what happens with windows media player on some laptops with winXP. Im not sure how to solve the issue, but I thought it might be hardware related (ie. the vid card does not support it)
[02:34] <ne0futur> it was ok with previous ubuntu versions, I m speaking of the console mode
[02:34] <codebrainz> clgy15, if you look under arch/x86/boot you will see the code that is the boot protocol directly after the bootloader
[02:34] <hiexpo> edbian,  - i don't think he'd make in gentoo
[02:35] <ne0futur> i could have the external display for xorg, but not for the console mode
[02:35] <clgy15> Well kinda sorta lfs. I have my own graphical interface made completly made from the gtk+ libraries and the standard C libraries. So all I want to do is to have nothing that isnt required to run the UI
[02:35] <ne0futur> ctrl+alt+f2 display
[02:35] <knoppies> cardamon, for your sake I hope it can be fixed, and that its not too difficult either.

[02:35] <edbian> hiexpo, I wouldn't know.  I've never actually tried gentoo :)
[02:35] <well_laid_lawn> oops
[02:35] <ne0futur> could it be related to a newer kenrnel not supporting very old external monitors (  800x600 )
[02:35] <codebrainz> clgy15, find a small distro with gtk and skip Xorg and use the framebuffer interface
[02:35] <hiexpo> edbian,  - thats like sending him to pentoo or backtrack
[02:36] <cardamon> I have. I like Gentoo, but it's not really worth it for the casual user.
[02:36] <codebrainz> clgy15, you can compile gtk2 with framebuffer support iirc
[02:36] <well_laid_lawn> !minimal | clgy15
[02:36] <codebrainz> clgy15, then just remove cruft until you have the kernel, your deps and your stuff.
[02:36] <cardamon> It requires a lot of cycles and effort to build EVERYTHING from source, and even past that point administrating it is heavily involved.
[02:37] <edbian> cardamon, Yeah I've heard those horror stories.
[02:37] <codebrainz> clgy15, also see the buildroot system, i think it has gtk2 packages
[02:37] <hiexpo> gentoo is not green frciendly   :)
[02:37] <cardamon> Unless you have a specfic reason for it, Ubuntu and other package based systems are best.
[02:37] <clgy15> sorry I meant LFS.. Hmmm okay okay so is buildroot its own distro?
[02:37] <cardamon> hiexpo: Now I wouldn't say that.
[02:38] <codebrainz> clgy15, buildroot will give the absolute minimal system for your needs
[02:38] <clgy15> Perfect... I feel kinda stupid that I made my own UI and Im having a hard time running it with the lowest possible number of packages
[02:39] <codebrainz> clgy15, been there
[02:39] <codebrainz> clgy15, use gtk2 and the framebuffer, it'll be tiny, like under 25MB i bet
[02:39] <roadfish> if a filename began with "---\nxyz" how could I use "mv" to rename it to "xyz"
[02:40] <codebrainz> roadfish, did you try single quotes '    '
[02:40] <clgy15> Perfect because I have a Tegra 2 processor and 256 mb of hardrive storage and a screen! Hope this works
[02:40] <codebrainz> clgy15, easy
[02:40] <knoppies> clgy15, I hope that is just for fun, and your not using that machine because its the best you have.
[02:40] <judget> I just installed Ubuntu Studio 10.4 fresh install but have no wifi working It was working before when I had Ubuntu Studion 9.10 any suggestions would be appreaciated
[02:41] <Unisla> hey guys, i'm trying to recover my grub bootloader after installing windows, but i'm coming across a small issue...
[02:41] <clgy15> So talk to me about the framebuffer codebrainz and yes its just for fun. If it works maybe itll be the next itouch
[02:41] <karamorf> the motherboard i was using broke so I put a spare in. Now the sound doesn't work (checked volume/mute settings...), what do i need to do to figure out what its not doing?
[02:41] <root__> Hello
[02:41] <Fudge> hi, having problems getting pine to recieve imap.gmail.com mail
[02:41] <Unisla> unfortunately, my /media/<disk name> has a space in it, and my grub-install command won't take it whatever i do
[02:41] <Medquin> Trying to add a cd drive.  It shows up in Computer:///, but when I insert a cd it disappears and doesn't mount.  Any help ideas?
[02:41] <acerimmer_> judget: you have a broadcom wifi?
[02:41] <root__> BACKTRACK<3
[02:41] <codebrainz> clgy15, it just makes gtk/gdk use the framebuffer interface instead of xlib calls, so you don't need xorg at all
[02:42] <codebrainz> clgy15, you enable it by passing some options to the kernel in the bootloader
[02:42] <Unisla> I've tried quotes, i've tried the escape character, and it seems that the install command is copying different instances of the name to different commands
[02:43] <roadfish> codebrainz:I keep getting ... mv: unrecognized option `---
[02:43] <clgy15> Ahhhh yeah then thats the way I really want to go! so what kind of commands should I be looking for to pass to the kernel to run my personal UI
[02:43] <roadfish> xyz'
[02:43] <Unisla> for instance, when i use quotes it gets pretty far in the process, but if i use the escape character it just stops at makedir... and when i use both, the error actually returns two escape characters!
[02:43] <roadfish> codebrainz: however, I have found a workaround ... use KDE dolphin to rename the file ... now I'm just in curiosity mode
[02:43] <judget> acerimmer - not sure i will do a lshdwr
[02:43] <Unisla> so, i guess i must rename my disc name in /media. does anyone know how to do this correctly?
[02:44] <codebrainz> Unisla, what about  "my\ name\ with\ spaces"
[02:44] <alisneaky> yey first login into an IRC chat ever....can you tell im a newb
[02:44] <edlik> I am using a live cd to try to move my home file to a usb storage device, it tells me I dont have permission, is there a simple way to get this done? I need to save my home in order to do a reinstall ubuntu and yes I will be creating a seperate home partition this time:)
[02:44] <acerimmer_> !hi|alisneaky
[02:44] <wildbat> Unisla, just mount it in easier name then?
[02:44] <Unisla> codebrainz: it returns an error citing "my\\ name\\ with\\ spaces" oddly enough
[02:44] <judget> I have an Atheros AR9285 wifi
[02:45] <Unisla> wildbat: that's what i'm thinking... how do we go about doing this correctly?
[02:45] <acerimmer_> judget: yup.
[02:45] <codebrainz> Unisla, or "my\x40name\x40with\x40spaces"
[02:45] <arleslie> I'm getting a lot of packages reporting "Cannot be authenticated!" any ideas why?
[02:45] <alisneaky> ubottu: well thanx for the warm welcome and would love to help anyone if i can...i do have a question though...
[02:45] <judget> acerimmer it is an ATheros AR9285 wifi
[02:46] <acerimmer_> judget: HOWEVER you got that puppy working before, you need to repeat.  pretty sure it wasn't working out of the box
[02:46] <acerimmer_> !ask|alisneaky
[02:46] <judget> it just worked on the last install
[02:46] <alisneaky> my background: i'm 25, just started using ubuntu for the first time about a couple of weeks ago..running 10.04 desktop on my little netbook and loving it...i've been a windows person all my life and never saw anything in linux to attract me to it until i found ubuntu and tried it...
[02:47] <clgy15> codebrainz So I can pass to the kernel through the bootloader what programs to run after the kernel loads? Is that really what the bootloader does?
[02:47] <alisneaky> its AMAZINGly fast and attractive...
[02:47] <Unisla> codebrainz: mkdir complains, saying cannot create directory `/media/Ubuntux40System/boot'
[02:47] <clgy15> Unisla sudo?
[02:47] <codebrainz> clgy15, no i mean you can enable the kernel frame buffer with bootloader options
[02:47] <alisneaky> how do i add a channel?
[02:47] <Unisla> codebrainz: and if i use quotes, it puts two \\ in there
[02:47] <acerimmer_> judget: suprising.  ok googlfu and see if you can find a linux driver for it - preferabbly  a .deb package
[02:47] <methods> my sound is allot lower in the new ubuntu... anyway to make it louder ?
[02:47] <wildbat> Unisla, umount the drive, and make dir ~ and mount the drive with mount /dev/sdX1 /dev/newDirX
[02:47] <browserice> can anyone tell me if 10.04 has a problem with ATI cards ?  I tried both ubuntu/xubuntu live cd and my monitor blacks on on the trial !
[02:47] <Unisla> cldy15: yup, sudo'd
[02:47] <codebrainz> clgy15, use some initialization system to load your stuff
[02:47] <acerimmer_> alisneaky: /join #ubunttu-beginners
[02:47] <codebrainz> clgy15, buildroot has packages for init systems
[02:47] <arleslie> alisneaky, what do you mean by "channel"?
[02:48] <acerimmer_> alisneaky: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[02:48] <clgy15> Hmmm okay so is frame buffer inside the kernel or its a lightweight xorg?
[02:48] <Unisla> wildbat: and would installing grub with this mount reference work... correctly?
[02:48] <codebrainz> clgy15, it's part of the kernel
[02:49] <codebrainz> clgy15, either a module or built-in i believe
[02:49] <clgy15> Nice this just gets better and better
[02:50] <Medquin> Any thoughts on my cd drive issue?
[02:50] <clgy15> codebrainz so tell me what you think a good mobile media device like the itouch should be? Opensource is a given
[02:50] <alisneaky> im trying apply themes on my ubuntu but anything that i've tried doesnt affect my panels on the top and the bottom: i already know i can change the background colour of them by properties
[02:50] <wildbat> Unisla, it should
[02:51] <browserice> can anyone tell me if 10.04 has a problem with ATI cards ?  I tried both ubuntu/xubuntu live cd and my monitor blacks on on the trial !
[02:51] <Unisla> wildbat: trying it out... :)
[02:51] <codebrainz> clgy15, some of them are using matchbox.  it's pretty sweet
[02:51] <arleslie> alisneaky, System > Preferences > Apperance
[02:51] <codebrainz> Medquin, when you click the cd-rom icon what happens?
[02:51] <clgy15> So what does matchbox do?
[02:52] <Medquin> codebrainz: It goes to an empty directory.
[02:52] <codebrainz> clgy15, it's a windows manager and a desktop manager and some other stuff, that's super lightweight, and i think it'll run on the framebuffer as well, maybe not
[02:53] <Euthanatos> Isn't there a file I can edit on my installtion from a LiveCD to change the default resolution
[02:53] <codebrainz> Medquin, can you try the cd in another computer?
[02:53] <Medquin> The cd is fine.  It works in the other drives.
[02:53] <well_laid_lawn> !xrandr | Euthanatos
[02:53] <clgy15> It says it uses x window system so no but I see the source code. Its interesting how they use applications
[02:53] <well_laid_lawn> Euthanatos: it's not just for dual screens
[02:53] <browserice> can anyone tell me if 10.04 has a problem with ATI cards ?  I tried both ubuntu/xubuntu live cd and my monitor blacks on on the trial !
[02:54] <clgy15> ATI graphics card driver is required!
[02:54] <browserice> LIVE CD
[02:54] <codebrainz> clgy15, i bet it'll build against directfb
[02:54] <browserice> I am trying out the live cd 10.04, so they should be already installed
[02:55] <browserice> cannot even see desktop, monitor blacks out after clicking TRIAL
[02:55] <clgy15> Your probably right, though it might need some dependency fixes.... Hmmmm well Im comparing my source code to these ones, I have a LOOOOONG way to go
[02:56] <Euthanatos> well_laid_lawn, i see that but it's less than clear how to change the res on my installation from a LiveCD session
[02:56] <rafaelsoaresbr> is it possible to upgrade to lucid using local repositories?
[02:56] <codebrainz> browserice, on the bootloader menu, see if there is a safe graphics mode option somewhere, under advanced options or something
[02:56] <arleslie> My updates are unable to authenticate and I'm pretty sure I'm using non-third party sources except for google.
[02:56] <browserice> but does 10.04 installed works with ATI ?
[02:56] <well_laid_lawn> Euthanatos: in terminal   xrandr -s 1280x1024   or similar
[02:57] <Euthanatos> well_laid_lawn, that won't fix my system
[02:57] <jose___> hi
[02:57] <Euthanatos> i'm talking about chaning the res on my installation because grub fails and i can't use failsafex
[02:57] <clgy15> codebraiz Your probably right, though it might need some dependency fixes.... Hmmmm well Im comparing my source code to these ones, I have a LOOOOONG way to go
[02:57] <jose___> need help
[02:57] <dassouki> does a fresh install of ubuntu recognize ntfs
[02:57] <Euthanatos> because ubuntu just boots up and flakes out
[02:57] <arleslie> !ask jose___
[02:58] <arleslie> !ask | jose___
[02:58] <codebrainz> clgy15, what language are you using?
[02:58] <jose___> how can i partition my hard drive?
[02:58] <codebrainz> jose___, gparted
[02:58] <clgy15> Im only using the C standard library and the GTK+ libraries. Its in C. All my own functions
[02:59] <browserice> can I get one on one discussion for my problem ?  This chat is a pain when it comes to get answers
[02:59] <jose___> how do i used gparted
[02:59] <dassouki> jose___: if you are gonna ask how to use gparted, then don't
[02:59] <dassouki> use it
[02:59] <jose___> ...
[02:59] <well_laid_lawn> Euthanatos: i answered - "Euthanatos> Isn't there a file I can edit on my installtion from a LiveCD to change the default resolution" - there is no file to edit
[02:59] <jose___> i need to partition my hardrive to a NTFS
[02:59] <jose___> how do i do it
[02:59] <Euthanatos> so i'm screwed
[03:00] <Euthanatos> and ubuntu will randomly flake out on me for no reason
[03:00] <xangua> jose___: with gparted thru que ubuntu live cd or gparted live cd
[03:00] <acerimmer_> Euthanatos: you running wubi?
[03:00] <Euthanatos> no windoze tyvm
[03:00] <codebrainz> clgy15, you're all set then :)  check out the directfb lib too while you're at it
[03:00] <jose___> my live cd doesnt work
[03:00] <yjcsuper> h i every one
[03:00] <Euthanatos> i'll just go back to slack
[03:00] <jose___> is there anyway to do it with terminal?
[03:00] <g-unot> hi
[03:00] <yjcsuper> :-[
[03:01] <browserice> can I get one on one discussion for my problem ?  This chat is a pain when it comes to get answers
[03:01] <acerimmer_> !hi|yjcsuper
[03:01] <Euthanatos> once you go slack you never go back rofl
[03:01] <arleslie> !gparted | jose___
[03:01] <alisneaky> i've tried that but i dunno what type of file or package im looking for to pick..anything i pick doesnt seem to be accepted
[03:01] <clgy15> hmmmm what does that include? Oh and if I install the Nvidia driver how do I increase graphic capabilities?
[03:01] <codebrainz> jose___, use another live cd like the gparted livecd
[03:01] <Euthanatos> can't say i don't miss ubuntu's wonderful repo though.
[03:01] <john275> Hey guys. Im running ubuntu 10.04 (great so far), and would like to know if there is any way to play back HD video (.m2ts, .mkv, etc) or flash video with hardware acceleration. I have an ATI card (radeon 4650) btw. Thanks
[03:01] <codebrainz> clgy15, do you need fancy 3d stuff?
[03:02] <jose___> isnt there a way to do it with the terminal?
[03:02] <hiexpo> hmm
[03:02] <arleslie> jose___, sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:02] <jose___> i have it already
[03:02] <clgy15> Well no not with the code I have now. But you know how it goes, once it works it needs to be improved until it breaks!
[03:02] <arleslie> jose___, then type "sudo gparted"
[03:03] <Euthanatos> So there's no way to fix my installation which is *ONLY* screwed up because somehow the default res got screwed up (no clue how ubuntu could screw this up because I didn't)
[03:03] <jose___> now what?
[03:03] <Euthanatos> grub fails, no way to edit installation from a live CD
[03:03] <xangua> !gksu | arleslie jose___
[03:03] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, why not?
[03:03] <arleslie> jose___, gparted should be open
[03:03] <Euthanatos> idk i'm trying to find out
[03:03] <jose___> it is
[03:04] <g-unot> man em
[03:04] <Euthanatos> and everyone is saying i've got no recourse beyond a reinstallation which i've already done
[03:04] <jose___> what do i do when it open
[03:04] <g-unot> excuse me
[03:04] <g-unot> i have question
[03:04] <MrDudle> ask away
[03:04] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, do you see the bootloader at all?
[03:04] <jose___> brb
[03:04] <Euthanatos> no i don't
[03:04] <browserice> can someone help me with my problem ?  10.04 Live CDs are OK, md5 checksums are OK, all previous versions work ok on my monitor but not 10.04 live cd
[03:04] <Euthanatos> which is frustrating and confusing
[03:04] <g-unot> sometimes my netbook doesnt boot up. and sometimes it does when i choose ubuntu from menu
[03:04] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, and the live cd won't boot?
[03:04] <g-unot> any ideas how to fix this?
[03:04] <clgy15> codebrainz Well no not with the code I have now. But you know how it goes, once it works it needs to be improved until it breaks
[03:04] <Euthanatos> livecd boots fine i'm on the same computer in luvid liveCD session
[03:04] <Euthanatos> lucid*
[03:04] <arleslie> browserice, does your monitor have an "auto" button?
[03:05] <codebrainz> clgy15, worry about it later then :)
[03:05] <Maletor> Hey guys. I've come to the decision to put Ubuntu on my MacBook. I've backed up my data a read the wiki for my MacBook 5,1. Anything else I should know before I go through with it?
[03:05] <hiexpo> g-unot,  yah 9.10
[03:05] <clgy15> yeah okay,  well thanks alot codebrainz!!
[03:05] <arleslie> browserice, or do you get an error while using the CD?
[03:05] <Euthanatos> Trying to figure out if I have a way from here to edit the files on my installation
[03:05] <g-unot> LOL hiexpo u dont like 10.4?
[03:05] <browserice> arlesli, why ?  It works ok with all previous versions of Ubuntu
[03:05] <jose___> how do i partition it
[03:05] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, absolutely
[03:05] <browserice> arlesli, no CD error, md5 checksum OK
[03:05] <dmlinux> i have delete the top panel how do i get it back on lucid lynx
[03:05] <jose___> how do i partition with GParted
[03:05] <Euthanatos> or some other way to fix either grub to boot in failsafex or fix the default resolution on my installation
[03:06] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, if you're in the live cd does your installation drive not show up in the places?
[03:06] <arleslie> browserice, when some live cds boot it messes with the screen, try booting the cd and hitting the auto button and see if it'll bring the screen back
[03:06] <Euthanatos> but apparently everything has been upgraded beyond usefulness
[03:06] <jose___> well
[03:06] <Euthanatos> codebrainz, it boots fine and access all my drives perfectly I'm trying to figure out which files to edit
[03:06] <browserice> arlesi, what if that doesn't work ?
[03:06] <jose___> how do i partition my hard drive and make it NTFS with GParted
[03:06] <dcamp25> what is the ubuntu 10.04 wireless help

[03:09] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, haha, lovely.  i can probably help you, but it involves a series of command line stuff, if you want
[03:09] <Euthanatos> i have a 2TB drive divided into 4 partitions (swap, root, home, and another i mount as /home/data for extra media)
[03:09] <Euthanatos> codebrainz, i'm coming back from slackwarte, command line doesn't intimidate me
[03:10] <codebrainz> Euthanatos, pm me
[03:10] <NateW> to add a command at startup, i put it in /etc/rc.local ???
[03:11] <jose___> how can i partition my hard drive and make it a NTFS?
[03:11] <dmlinux> thanks mr ubottu
[03:11] <arleslie> xangua, reloaded and it didn't say I was missing any
[03:11] <well_laid_lawn> NateW: if the command doesn't need X then yes
[03:11] <Ameth> BIOS RAID or OS RAID? What is more secure?
[03:11] <marik> how can i tell ubuntu to automatically mount a partition at startup? is there a GUI thing that does this?
[03:11] <jose___> why wont anyone help me?
[03:11] <john275> Hey guys. Im running ubuntu 10.04 (great so far), and would like to know if there is any way to play back HD video (.m2ts, .mkv, etc) or flash video with hardware acceleration. I have an ATI card (radeon 4650) btw. Thanks

[03:12] <astrocub> my usb drive is mounted, but i can't remove anything from it. i'm told read-only file system in the command line
[03:12] <astrocub> i've tried mounting with -w but no luck
[03:13] <dcamp25> need help with Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g ?
[03:13] <Ameth> marik, then bios offloads raid onto the os after startup?
[03:13] <well_laid_lawn> astrocub: what filesystem is the usb?
[03:13] <NateW> astrocub: you would have to run nautilus as root, did you have this as a live usb drive?
[03:13] <marik> Ameth, yes. in linux it will show up as a virtual drive in the /dev/mapper/ folder, but it's the same thing as OS raid
[03:13] <NateW> ive had it where i made a bootable usb drive and the filesystem became read only
[03:14] <arleslie> 90% of all of updates are reporting "unable to authenticate" any ideas? All repositiories are there
[03:14] <astrocub> NateW: it was a live usb drive
[03:14] <marik> arleslie, are you running behind a proxy?
[03:14] <astrocub> well_laid_lawn: i believe it's vfat
[03:14] <arleslie> marik, no
[03:14] <NateW> astrocub: did you reformat it after you used it?
[03:14] <marik> TheMozart, probably. i haven't done it personally, but dvd::rip and such exist
[03:14] <well_laid_lawn> astrocub: you could try   sudo chmod +rw /path/to/usb/mount
[03:15] <TheMozart> can I rip my DVD to a small AVI file using Ubuntu only?.. anyne know pls?
[03:15] <well_laid_lawn> astrocub: you could try   sudo chmod -Rv +rw /path/to/usb/mount

[03:16] <astrocub> well_laid_lawn: still told that i can't remove the contents and that it's a read only file system
[03:16] <Ameth> marik, would it be a bad idea to use os raid in windows 7 and dual boot linux, or should it be ok?
[03:16] <NateW> astrocub: ive always just reformatted using System -> Administration -> Disc Utility.. so try doing that
[03:16] <arleslie> jose___, you use gparted
[03:16] <marik> jose___, mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdaX
[03:16] <xangua> sumoduno: have you tried to reset the panel¿¿
[03:16] <NateW> astrocub: that should fix it
[03:16] <xangua> !panels
[03:16] <Ameth> jose___, use the live cd partitioner for ubuntu.
[03:16] <jose___> im on gparted but i cant figure out how
[03:16] <jose___> i tried live cd didnt work
[03:16] <timbalero> .
[03:16] <Fudge> how can you make an iso form a cd?
[03:16] <jasper> marik, and i can take some from my drive and move it to my unallocated?
[03:16] <sumoduno> xangua: reset panel?
[03:16] <marik> Ameth, i know very very little about Windows 7 except that I don't like it
[03:16] <astrocub> NateW: if i had gnome...i er, removed it
[03:16] <well_laid_lawn> marik: no gui way that I know
[03:16] <xangua> !panels | sumoduno
[03:16] <marik> well_laid_lawn, =(
[03:16] <Ameth> you cant partition until you unmout a filesystem
[03:17] <jose___> how
[03:17] <astrocub> oh, there's an idea
[03:17] <Ameth> thats why the live cd
[03:17] <astrocub> umount and run fdisk on it
[03:17] <jose___> fdisk?
[03:17] <well_laid_lawn> astrocub: the -Rv option should have given some info as to why
[03:17] <marik> Fudge, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=backup.iso
[03:17] <astrocub> rm: cannot remove `syslinux.cfg': Read-only file system
[03:17] <jose___> i just want to partition my hard disk
[03:17] <jose___> how dod i do it
[03:17] <Ameth> Thanks marik!
[03:17] <jose___> do*
[03:17] <marik> Ameth, sure thing
[03:18] <astrocub> also
[03:18] <astrocub> chmod: changing permissions of `/mnt/usb/syslinux.cfg': Read-only file system
[03:18] <astrocub> failed to change mode of `/mnt/usb/syslinux.cfg' to 0644 (rw-r--r--)
[03:18] <timbalero> [_]P
[03:18] <astrocub> that's all -v gave us
[03:18] <sumoduno> xangua: cool it worked, but my volume contorl is missing
[03:18] <well_laid_lawn> astrocub: use   ls -l   on the usb - who owns it?
[03:18] <astrocub> i'm going to try fdisk
[03:18] <Fudge> thnk
[03:18] <marik> well_laid_lawn, the "Disk Utility" in system -> administration *almost* does that.. but not quit
[03:18] <marik> quite*
[03:18] <astrocub> well_laid_lawn: it doesn't specify an owner
[03:19] <astrocub> just 399 399
[03:19] <marik> 399 is the uid of the owner
[03:19] <timbalero> amarok doesn't sound after install, what should I do?
[03:19] <marik> if you don't have the same uid, then it won't let you, and you have to escalate your priviledge level
[03:19] <astrocub> i'm root
[03:19] <alisneaky> random question...has Login Window changed names to Login Screen on 10.04?
[03:19] <marik> timbalero, open up System -> Preferences -> Sound
 and?
[03:20] <astrocub> k, going to use the fdisk method of clearing it
[03:20] <marik> timbalero, make sure the mute box isn't checked
[03:20] <alisneaky> coz i can see login screen but no login window...by the way..im trying to change my login window theme...
 ok thanks, but, others  programs sound perfect, that "mute box" is only for amarok?
[03:22] <iwatkins> anyone here have expirence w/ setting up TwinView (nVidia)?  The nv driver seems to have no problem running both monitors, but the nvidia driver only runs 1 monitor @ 640x480
[03:22] <marik> timbalero, go to the "Applications" tab and make sure amarok isn't muted
[03:22] <willwill100> im running proprietary drivers fine
 ok
[03:23] <willwill100> twin view has been working fine with nvidia
[03:23] <Line> hello! is there a virtual server for ubuntu in the repositories?
[03:24] <marik> Line, what/
[03:24] <iwatkins> well, i've tried pretty much everything, with the nvidia driver.  i've downgraded drivers, i've tried swapping monitors, different cables, etc.
[03:24] <huhuhu> Install Windows: problems solved
[03:25] <chalk> hi, i can't seem to listen to music from rhythmbox, it keeps on crashing
[03:25] <Line> marik: I'm looking for a vnc server that I can run and administrate through a web, are there any such services in the repositories? I am on a headless ubuntu 9.04 server
[03:25] <willwill100> im using the most up to date drivers; used nvidias own app to apply settings, worked first time
[03:25] <huhuhu> Install Windows: problems solved
[03:25] <willwill100> they are a bit buggy tho
[03:25] <huhuhu> Install Windows: problems solved
[03:25] <qm7> I've been having programs freeze randomly for about 30 seconds, this happens every 10-20 minutes or so, randomly. I checked /var/log/messages and it says something about the "Ubuntu Network Kernel" and "Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed". Could anyone please help me with this?
[03:25] <huhuhu> Install Windows: problems solved

[03:26] <chalk> i'm using ubuntu 10
[03:26] <qm7> I've been having programs freeze randomly for about 30 seconds, this happens every 10-20 minutes or so, randomly. I checked /var/log/messages and it says something about the "Ubuntu Network Kernel" and "Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed". Could anyone please help me with this?
[03:26] <marik> Line, it's not particularly easy to set up from what I remember though
[03:27] <Line> oh no i want to set up virtual machines on my server
[03:27] <marik> Line, virtualbox then?
[03:27] <Line> does it have a web interface that lets me administrate the machines?
[03:28] <qm7> can anyone at least troubleshoot with me?
 ok still the same, I better check on the web site thansk aniway
[03:28] <ZachK_> qm7: what's up bud
[03:28] <marik> Line, i don't know. i've never bothered with virtual machines
[03:28] <Line> marik: i set up vmware server 2 in ubuntu server before but that was a pain i was hoping there was something open source and convenient
[03:28] <Line> marik: alrighty
[03:28] <qm7> ZachK_: I've been having programs freeze randomly for about 30 seconds, this happens every 10-20 minutes or so, randomly. I checked /var/log/messages and it says something about the "Ubuntu Network Kernel" and "Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed". Could anyone please help me with this?
[03:29] <ZachK_> qm7: ubuntu version/release

[03:29] <AndrewX192> How can I toggle the capslock light at the command line?
[03:29] <ZachK_> qm7: desktop notebook remix server
[03:29] <timbalero> ok bye
[03:29] <qm7> desktop ZachK_
[03:30] <ZachK_> qm7: ok and did you do an upgrade or a full install
[03:30] <qm7> ZachK_: on a notebook
[03:30] <qm7> ZachK_: upgraded but this problem didn't appear until some time later
[03:31] <Architeuthis> i have opened port 5353 what do?
[03:31] <ZachK_> qm7: ok..gimme a sec and i'll see what i can find ok?
[03:31] <qm7> ok
[03:31] <imthenachoman> is there anything i can install in linux that will let me mount linux drives in xp through SSH without having to install anything in xp?
[03:31] <qm7> thanks
[03:32] <Architeuthis> give me exploit for port 5353
[03:32] <Architeuthis> thoughts?
[03:32] <jrib> imthenachoman: I don't think windows knows anything about ssh by default...  Why do you want to use ssh?
[03:32] <edbian> imthenachoman, For a windows computer to ssh at all you need putty.  I'm not aware of any other way...
[03:32] <imthenachoman> jrib: well anyway i suppose
[03:32] <imthenachoman> i just want to be able to edit my files in notepad on xp
[03:32] <imthenachoman> dont ask why....
[03:33] <jrib> imthenachoman: you want to mount drives on another machine in your network?
[03:33] <chalk> hi, i can't seem to listen to music from rhythmbox, it keeps on crashing
[03:33] <imthenachoman> jrib: yes, mount linux drives on xp
[03:33] <edbian> imthenachoman, You can set up a samba file server (I'm not sure you can do that on the internet)
[03:33] <jrib> imthenachoman: use samba
[03:33] <edbian> imthenachoman, samba is windows native so you don't have to install anything on a stock windows install
[03:33] <imthenachoman> ah
[03:33] <imthenachoman> let me see
[03:33] <Architeuthis> exploit DC.store? mac
[03:34] <edbian> imthenachoman, I'm sure if you opened that up to the internet though it would be a security flaw
[03:34] <jrib> imthenachoman: you can just right click -> properties -> share (that's samba)
[03:34] <imthenachoman> jrib: this is server ubuntu, no x
[03:34] <imthenachoman> edbian: humm
[03:34] <imthenachoman> edbian: i can set up ssh tunnel
[03:34] <imthenachoman> and then samba
[03:34] <edbian> imthenachoman, sudo apt-get install samba
[03:34] <jrib> imthenachoman: you said on your network though so presumably that's not an issue?
[03:34] <Architeuthis> does any one know the answer to my FUCKING question
[03:34] <edbian> imthenachoman, Yep.  But then you need to install putty on your windows clients
[03:35] <jrib> Architeuthis: that gets you ignored, not help faster...
[03:35] <Architeuthis> word brutha
[03:35] <imthenachoman> Architeuthis: what is your f***ing question.....i'm no expert but no girls ever complained....
[03:35] <ac1dburnz> Architeuthis,  be patienst
[03:35] <jrib> Architeuthis: and it's not even an ubuntu question... you're in the wrong channel
[03:35] <edbian> imthenachoman, :P
[03:35] <imthenachoman> edbian: already have tectia installed
[03:35] <acerimmer_> :~
[03:35] <maco> imthenachoman: watch your language
[03:35] <dcamp25> wireless help
[03:35] <ZachK_> qm7: you know how to use the terminal?
[03:35] <edbian> imthenachoman, tectia.... ?
[03:35] <Architeuthis> o sry, i just want tho know...lolz
[03:35] <ZachK_> dcamp25: wireless eh?
[03:35] <maco> imthenachoman: obfuscated swearing is still swearing, and watch your attitude too
[03:35] <qm7> ZachK_: yes
[03:35] <jrib> Architeuthis: ask elsewhere, this channel is only for ubuntu support
[03:36] <maco> Architeuthis: watch your language as well
[03:36] <john275> Hey guys. Im running ubuntu 10.04 (great so far), and would like to know if there is any way to play back HD video (.m2ts, .mkv, etc) or flash video with hardware acceleration. I have an ATI card (radeon 4650) btw. Thanks
[03:36] <ZachK_> qm7: ok open it up and type in the following without quotes "lspci"
[03:36] <imthenachoman> maco: ......i star it out and he says it for real and i'm scolded? and attitude? i was just joking with him
[03:36] <dcamp25> Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01) ubuntu 10.04 64 bit
[03:36] <imthenachoman> maco: wont happen again
[03:36] <maco> imthenachoman: i told him not to swear too
[03:36] <dcamp25> shows up as eth1
[03:36] <ZachK_> !pastebin | qm7 put the output here
[03:36] <dcamp25> not wlan0
[03:36] <xangua> john275: with hardware acceleration you will neet to wait to the next version of vlc, 1.2 i believe
[03:37] <qm7> ZachK_: I have to go.
[03:38] <imthenachoman> edbian: like putty
[03:38] <ZachK_> qm7: oh..ok
[03:38] <dotblank> john275, Also I know you have an ati card but HW playback works with nvidia cards using vdpau
[03:38] <imthenachoman> edbian: but not open source
[03:38] <edbian> imthenachoman, oic.  That'll do it then.
[03:38] <john275> dotblank, thanks, yeah, id heard about vdpau, too bad i have ati
[03:38] <john275> xangua, thanks, hopefully theres another way to get hardware acceleration
[03:39] <edbian> imthenachoman, I suggested samba because you didn't need to install anything on the windows client.  If you already have a ssh client installed than you can file transfer over that.  If it's only one file it's not terrible
[03:39] <dotblank> If I owned an ATI card I might know more about it
[03:39] <imthenachoman> edbian: im trying to figure out a way to edit the files in an editor on xp remotely
[03:40] <dotblank> imthenachoman, you can install cygwin and run x forwarding
[03:40] <edbian> imthenachoman, ssh into the server, navigate to the file, use nano, or vi, or another cli based text editor
[03:40] <imthenachoman> edbian: ....lol. was looking for a more robust editor
[03:40] <imthenachoman> edbian: i've been using vi for now
[03:40] <edbian> imthenachoman, emacs
[03:40] <jrib> more robust than vim or emacs? is there such a thing?
[03:40] <edbian> imthenachoman, emacs is about as robust as you can get, some people joke that it's an operating system
[03:41] <OhioEric1> lol
[03:41] <dotblank> imthenachoman, http://www.cs.caltech.edu/courses/cs11/misc/xwindows.html
[03:41] <qm7> ZachK_: you still there?
[03:41] <edbian> imthenachoman, Sorry we've gone in circles a bit.  I think we're at a very good solution though.
[03:41] <imthenachoman> edbian: can't install anything else on this work laptop...
[03:41] <qm7> ZachK_: is there a way to do this without me making public all of the personal details about my pc?
[03:41] <imthenachoman> edbian: but i think samba willw ork
[03:42] <mac9416> Hello, Lucid is not recognizing my Verizon mobile broadband. Any ideas?
[03:42] <edbian> imthenachoman, ?Then you need to install samba server....
[03:42] <imthenachoman> edbian: i can instlal on my linux server, just not on my xp laptop
[03:42] <ZachK_> qm7: do what
[03:42] <qm7> ZachK_: is there a way to do this without me making public all of the personal details about my pc?
[03:42] <ZachK_> qm7: is there a way to do "What"
[03:42] <edbian> imthenachoman, You have an ssh client.  That's all you need.  vi or emacs or vim or whatever is on the server.
[03:42] <ZachK_> the what is the question
[03:43] <hiexpo> mac9416, probally need a usb swap
[03:43] <qm7> ZachK_: fix my problem
[03:43] <imthenachoman> edbian: i know, but i want to use komodo edit as it will make things a lot easier with cut and paste and what not
[03:43] <ZachK_> qm7: ok did you do the lspci command
[03:43] <qm7> ZachK_: yes
[03:43] <dshbusiness> Why I cannot visit a website with 8080 port under ubuntu? I can do this under windows?
[03:43] <ZachK_> !pastebin | qm7
[03:43] <mac9416> hiexpo, speak noob, friend. What's usb swap?
[03:43] <hiexpo> ls usb
[03:43] <jrib> dshbusiness: you can
[03:43] <ZachK_> qm7: paste the output there and give me the url
[03:43] <edbian> imthenachoman, komodo installed on the windows xp client?
[03:44] <qm7> ZachK_: i dont want to  make all my details public
[03:44] <mac9416> dshbusiness, go to website.com:8080
[03:44] <imthenachoman> edbian: ea
[03:44] <imthenachoman> edbian: yeah
[03:44] <ZachK_> qm7: its not public my friend
[03:44] <ZachK_> qm7: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[03:44] <ZachK_> qm7: paste the output there and give me the URL
[03:44] <qm7> ZachK_: can you just tell me what to look for?
[03:44] <edbian> imthenachoman, seems like a round-about way to do it but should work.  ssh tunnel to a samba file server...  I think it can be done.
[03:45] <dshbusiness> jrib: well, I must visit this site: http://cbt.etest.net.cn:8080. It was said the connection was reset. However, when I visit it under windows, it works
[03:45] <edbian> imthenachoman, No offense but it seems like emacs or vim is much much easier.  That's just me though.
[03:45] <ZachK_> qm7: honestly no i cannot as i need the info from that command to get an idea of what could be wrong...
[03:45] <ZachK_> qm7: i'm not trying to steal your data or something
[03:45] <jrib> edbian, imthenachoman: I'm not sure why ssh is coming in, didn't imthenachoman say they machines were on the same network?
[03:45] <edbian> imthenachoman, You know you can copy / paste text into / out of your ssh client windows
[03:45] <edbian> imthenachoman, If that's true you don't need ssh at all.  I only suggested it to gain security if you planned on connecting over the internet.
[03:45] <dshbusiness> I use firefox and chrome under ubuntu. Both do not work. But chrome under windows works
[03:46] <ZachK_> dshbusiness: what do you mean chrome doesn't work on linux
[03:46] <edbian> dshbusiness, Then you don't really use them do you>
[03:46] <imthenachoman> jrib: no they are not sir
[03:47]  * jrib agrees with edbian
[03:47] <jrib> imthenachoman: ok (that's not what you said earlier)
[03:47] <imthenachoman> edbian: i know emacs, and i do like it, but it wont work for my purposes
[03:47] <dshbusiness> ZachK_: I mean, when I visit the connection under ubuntu, both chrome and firefox said the connection was reset.
[03:47] <edbian> imthenachoman, ok
[03:47] <simple_mind> hi. anyone knows how to enable gnome-shell?
[03:47] <codebrainz> dshbusiness, that site shows up here, but i can't understand what it says
[03:48] <dshbusiness> ZachK_: But when I use chrome under windows, I can visit it straightforward.
[03:48] <codebrainz> dshbusiness, do you have internet in ubuntu?
[03:48] <dshbusiness> yes
[03:48] <dshbusiness> codebrainz: yes
[03:48] <marik> AndrewX192, echo -e "\033[3q"
[03:49] <AndrewX192> marik, that does nothing
[03:49] <marik> AndrewX192, *iff* the terminal supports that escape sequence.  man console_codes for more info
[03:49] <marik> AndrewX192, are you using gnome-terminal?
[03:49] <AndrewX192> yes
[03:49] <marik> it doesn't support that sequence
[03:49] <AndrewX192> konsole maybe?
[03:50] <GhostFreeman_> How do I add a beep to run when ubuntu starts up?
[03:50] <marik> i'd try xterm
[03:50] <codebrainz> dshbusiness, and you can visit other sites?
[03:50] <chalk> how come on ubuntu 10 my internet connection is so slow
[03:50] <thansom> hey, how can I sync video and music to my ipod touch?
[03:50] <AndrewX192> marik, doesnt work either ._.
[03:50] <marik> GhostFreeman_, in the preferences -> startup applications, tell it to run: echo -e "\007"
[03:50] <chalk> thansom: try gtkpod?
[03:50] <GhostFreeman_> ok
[03:51] <thansom> gtkpod doesnt seem to support video?
[03:51] <xangua> thansom: maybe woth banshee then
[03:51] <codebrainz> in canada, gtkpod is soon to be illegal
[03:51] <dshbusiness> codebrainz: yes. But this site http://cbt.etest.net.cn:8080, I can't visit under ubuntu.
[03:51] <qm7> ZachK_: get that?
[03:51] <chalk> hmm, i was able to do so
[03:52] <codebrainz> dshbusiness, well, firefox has never failed me.  no idea what's going on
[03:52] <codebrainz> dshbusiness, unless it's blocked in your /etc/hosts or something
[03:52] <codebrainz> not a networking guru
[03:53] <dshbusiness> codebrainz: Yes, perhaps it was my configuration's problem. I will check it. Thanks, codebrainz.
[03:53] <pegler> hi all
[03:54] <pegler> I have a quick question
[03:54] <hiexpo> !hi  pegler
[03:54] <pegler> run you run a process, it will terminate when you logout.  is there any way to let the process keep running?
[03:54] <qm7> ZachK_: HELLO
[03:54] <pegler> speciafically, I am looking to run long jobs via ssh and not have them die when I close the connection
[03:54] <hiexpo> !hi | pegler
[03:54] <jrib> !screen | pegler
[03:55] <acerimmer_> codebrainz: wth?? rly?
[03:56]  * qm7 splashes ZachK_ with bucket of ice cold water
[03:56] <codebrainz> acerimmer_, yeah, totally.  it's not like me, but some things i need a hard copy
[03:56] <edbian> Who asked about gnome-shell?
[03:57] <simple_mind> i asked :)
[03:57] <codebrainz> acerimmer_, whoah, wrong channel, sorry
[03:57] <ZachK_> qm7: excuse me but i'm doing fifty different things at once...managing a team for one and editing the wiki for another...please be patient
[03:57] <edbian> simple_mind, Did you install the package?
[03:57] <pegler3> sorry, safari reloaded on me.  just wanted to say thanks
[03:58] <simple_mind> gnome-shell? yes edbian
[03:58] <edbian> simple_mind, Did you run it yet?
[03:59] <alexandre> Someone from brazil?
[03:59] <simple_mind> edbian, yes. but didnt work. but i think I found the reason on internet. I need do disable compiz before running gnome-shell
[03:59] <edbian> simple_mind, gnome-shell is a window manager, it conflicts with compiz
[03:59] <hiexpo> !compiz
[04:00] <edbian> simple_mind, try this: gnome-shell --replace
[04:00] <simple_mind> ok. thanks edbian
[04:00] <edbian> simple_mind, That's how I got it running.  I didn't have to touch compiz (the system manually stopped it for me)
[04:00] <imthenachoman> pegler3: nohup
[04:00] <hiexpo> ouch
[04:02]  * imthenachoman gives hiexpo a band aid
[04:02] <imthenachoman> why did nobody recommend nohp? screen works but un-necessary
[04:03] <sumoduno> hi, my volume controller is not showing in the applet indicator, i tried restarting it,but it didnt work
[04:03] <jrib> imthenachoman: you mean nohup?  That's fine too.  Or you could just disown the job before logging out
[04:03] <edbian> sumoduno, What is "the applet indicator?"
[04:04] <sumoduno> edbian its in the panel
[04:04] <larry_> w how to use wpg2odg from the command line?
[04:04] <edbian> sumoduno, The volume applet is not part of the notification area
[04:04] <jrib> larry_: no idea what that is but try passing it --help, or calling « man wpg2odg » or reading the documentation in /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE
[04:05] <sumoduno> edbian well it was part of the indicator applet
[04:05] <edbian> sumoduno, Pardon me, it's not part of the indicator applet it's part of the notification area applet
[04:05] <larry_> it's a converter package for converting wordperfect graphics files to openoffice draw
[04:05] <sumoduno> edbian oh i see. how do i bring it back, i just turned on my computer and it just disappeared!
[04:06] <edbian> sumoduno, Add the notification applet to your panel
[04:06] <edbian> sumoduno, I don't know why it left :P
[04:06] <sumoduno> edbian hmmmmm i did that, its not showing
[04:06] <edbian> sumoduno, mmm, odd, does the actual sound work?
[04:07] <uzer> what irc client(s) you are using??? which is best???
[04:07] <edbian> uzer, I like xchat
[04:07] <jrib> !best | uzer
[04:07] <Shodan__> Does 10.04 desktop have an activated firewall by default on a fresh install?
[04:07] <edbian> uzer, But that's a bit off topic :P
[04:07] <acerimmer_> Shodan__: no.
[04:07] <edbian> Shodan__, No
[04:07] <sumoduno> edbian actually it does. if it helps when i turned on my comp, it says that ICEauthority is mising
[04:07] <acerimmer_> uzer: chatzilla addon to ffox
[04:07] <Shodan__> thanks
[04:08] <edbian> sumoduno, I'm not sure.  I don't think I can help!  Sorry :(
[04:08] <codebrainz> Shodan__, yes, ufw
[04:08] <sumoduno> edbian ahh its ok.
[04:08] <Shodan__> Codebrainz: ufw?
[04:08] <edbian> Shodan__, no prob.  Is this machine at your home?  Do you have a router?
[04:08] <codebrainz> Shodan__, uncomplicated firewall, at least on my install
[04:08] <edbian> Shodan__, ufw is easily installed but it is not installed and running by default
[04:08] <codebrainz> Shodan__, man ufw
[04:08] <uzer> oops bot didn't like that question
[04:09] <Shodan__> yea i'm at home, trying to get ssh up and running. Ubuntu 10.04 is installed in a VM
[04:09] <codebrainz> edbian, it was on mine!?
[04:09] <codebrainz> Shodan__, ufw allow ssh
[04:09] <edbian> codeabit, tuchet, it is installed, just not running
[04:10] <edbian> codebrainz, it is installed by default, just not running
[04:10] <codebrainz> edbian, i c
[04:10] <uzer> !hello | #ubuntu-bots
[04:10] <Shodan__> thanks
[04:10] <edbian> Shodan__, ufw shouldn't be running unless you told it to.
[04:10] <Shodan__> k
[04:10] <jrib> ubottu: #ubuntu-bots is a channel that you can visit and see which irc clients people like and use
[04:10] <edbian> Shodan__, If you have a router that protects your LAN from the internet than that is acting as a firewall already.  Default behavior: all ports closed.
[04:11]  * jrib thinks it's time to go to sleep...
[04:11] <jrib> uzer: #ubuntu-bots is a channel that you can visit and see which irc clients people like and use
[04:11] <edbian> Shodan__, I don't recommend setting up firewalls on every machine in your house
[04:11] <edbian> Shodan__, Especially not on the linux ones.
[04:11] <dotblank> edbian, just because your running linux does not give an excuse to not run firewalls
[04:11] <IdeAleSs_> anyone here use a wifi tether on android 2.1 with ubuntu 10.04?  I need some help
[04:11] <codebrainz> edbian, i think he's trying to connect to a vm on his pc.
[04:11] <uzer>  join #ubuntu-bots
[04:12] <uzer> join #ubuntu-bots
[04:12] <codebrainz> Shodan__, try another network setting like Bridged or NAT (i'm not an net guy)
[04:12] <Shodan__> I got it, I was using NAT for the VM which was causing the problem
[04:13] <Shodan__> thanks for the help
[04:13] <edbian> Shodan__, awesome!
[04:13] <jimtuv> Got a quick question. What is the Maximum password length in Ubuntu 10.04?
[04:13] <edbian> jimtuv, I don't think there is one...
[04:13] <codebrainz> jimtuv, probably 256 or greater, why?
[04:14] <jimtuv> Just want a killer strong password for my admin I had an attempted intrusion
[04:15] <codebrainz> jimtuv, i think you'll be safe typing 255 characters each time :)
[04:15] <jimtuv> lol I was thinking more like 25
[04:15] <edbian> jimtuv, Use the password generator.  It generates very strong passwords.  Double it up if you're still skeptical
[04:15] <edbian> jimtuv, 25 is sooo long :)
[04:15] <codebrainz> agreed
[04:15] <codebrainz> well_laid_lawn, the first part
[04:16] <mturner> jimtuv: if possible limit the IP scope
[04:16] <edbian> jimtuv, Did they attempt to break in via ssh?
[04:16] <jimtuv> I have done that and added a 64 character passphrase to the wireless
[04:17] <edbian> jimtuv, Nice.
[04:17] <codebrainz> jimtuv, describe the incident, i'm interested
[04:17] <edbian> jimtuv, Hide the essid as well.
[04:17] <qm7> ZachK_: are you there?
[04:17] <jimtuv> all the sudden my printer printed out without any input.
[04:17] <codebrainz> jimtuv, is that it?
[04:17] <edbian> jimtuv, Some hacker with style! :)
[04:18] <mturner> hiding the essid doesnt always protect it ..that is more suceptible to different types of attacks
[04:18] <jimtuv> so I checked the router and it said a DOS attack was underway
[04:18] <kop> jimtuv, it was only ascii Pr0n ... D'Oh
[04:18] <jimtuv> I shut it down
[04:18] <dotblank> jimtuv, yikes
[04:18] <edbian> mturner, How does it make the network MORE susceptible ?
[04:18] <codebrainz> mturner, more?  i would say as succeptible, no?
[04:18] <mturner> yes agreed
[04:19] <jimtuv> Then I changed the passphrase and just for safeness all the passwords
[04:19] <codebrainz> jimtuv, my router shows non stop DOS attacks
[04:19] <jimtuv> but does your printer print out pictures of sunglasses
[04:19] <dotblank> I think its becauses some statistical reporting software counts pings as an attempted attack
[04:19] <edbian> jimtuv, Did you find out anything about them?  Did they have a dhcp address?  Did you get a hostname or an IP or anything?
[04:19] <codebrainz> jimtuv, heh, sometimes?
[04:20] <dotblank> jimtuv, That is awesome
[04:20] <kop> did the sunglasses have ... nipples ?
[04:20] <jimtuv> yes it was an aol account is sent them a abuse report
[04:20] <yshavit> has anyone here had difficulty with the clock applet? Mine was broken for a couple weeks... finally figured it out, and I don't know if it's common enough that I should report it somewhere
[04:20] <un214> does anything break if I disable sudo?
[04:20] <iWolf> un214
[04:20] <iWolf> yes
[04:20] <dotblank> un214, um yes
[04:20] <kop> jimmy51_, aol ? abuse online ?
[04:20] <edbian> un214, Youre ability to sudo...
[04:21] <un214> don't need it
[04:21] <edbian> jimtuv, Good call
[04:21] <iWolf> un214
[04:21] <iWolf> You shouldn't
[04:21] <edbian> un214, Do you have a different way to be root?
[04:21] <un214> root password
[04:21] <dotblank> un214, really its a bad idea
[04:21] <edbian> un214, Then you can safely remove it.
[04:21] <acerimmer_> un214: I wouldn't do this if I were you...
[04:21] <jimtuv> Bad bad idea un214
[04:22] <jrib> un214: most of the things in your administrator menu will break for starters...
[04:22] <cpatrick2008_> who has tried ubuntu 10.10 alpha 1 yet
[04:22] <edbian> un214, It's not a bad idea.  Lots of distros use su root  instead of sudo.  Red Hat / Fedora does for example
[04:22] <jimtuv> I set up a admin account and it has the only sudo rights everyone else cant sudo
[04:22] <un214> you know the rule about sudo in its own manual: "secure the sudoer's account like you would the root account"
[04:22] <codebrainz> yshavit, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/bugtrackers/gnome-bugs probably
[04:22] <edbian> un214, Oooo, good point jrib The menus may phreak
[04:22] <yshavit> codeabit: alright, thanks
[04:22] <un214> huh I've never used them
[04:23] <edbian> un214, Is this a server?  Do you not have a gui ?
[04:23] <un214> yeah but I believe in using console for admin
[04:23] <edbian> un214, nice, hardcore!  Then I think you're safe.
[04:23] <jrib> un214: sudo is used in a console :/
[04:23] <edbian> un214, Obviously though, I've never done it so good luck!
[04:23] <edbian> jrib, but in the term su root can do anything sudo can do.
[04:23] <un214> you see if anybody wanted to attack sudo they'd patch bash in ram to launch the wrong sudo
[04:24] <jrib> edbian: no it can't
[04:24] <un214> but Ctrl+Alt+F1 provides a secure console
[04:24] <edbian> jrib, What can su root not do?
[04:24] <dotblank> some scripts make use of sudo so you may break them
[04:24] <jrib> edbian: sudo allows for more refined privileges for starters
[04:25] <un214> the only thing I saw that didn't like running as root was fakeroot
[04:25] <prince> hey
[04:25] <un214> (and freeciv but who cares)
[04:25] <dotblank> un214, fakeroot?
[04:25] <jrib> edbian: the converse is certainly true though.  Anything you want to do as root can be done with a sudo user with full privileges
[04:25] <edbian> jrib, more refined privileges?  I don't think that file permissions are effected at all by sudo or su root
[04:25] <jrib> edbian: you can restrict what user's can sudo
[04:26] <jrib> erm, delete the '
[04:26] <un214> fakeroot is used to fool certain scripts to thinking they have root when they don't -- e.g. the script that packages up java
[04:26] <codebrainz> dotblank, fakeroot allows a regular user do stuff only root can, iirc
[04:26] <codebrainz> or what un214 said
[04:26] <edbian> jrib, Now that's true.
[04:26] <jrib> un214: it's your system, do whatever you want.  Running all the time as root is certainly not recommended though
[04:27] <dotblank> codebrainz, un214 right but why use fakeroot when your already root
[04:27] <un214> I don't run as root all the time
[04:27] <prince> anyone having problems with the new java update?
[04:27] <edbian> un214, jrib whoa whoa.  Nobody said it's a good idea to be root all the time!
[04:27] <edbian> un214, That is a bad idea.
[04:27] <un214> I know
[04:27] <edbian> un214, k
[04:27] <kop> root root root root !
[04:27] <jrib> "the only thing I saw that didn't like running as root ..."
[04:27] <un214> jrib: you could postfix that with "that I tried"
[04:28] <jimtuv> you cant su fakeroot it only give an error Unknown id: fakeroot
[04:28] <kop> "the only thing I saw that didn't like running as root ..." was my gf's myspace account
[04:28] <edbian> fakeroot is not an account it's a shell command
[04:28] <codebrainz> heh
[04:28] <IdleOne> !ot | kop
[04:28] <edbian> kop, :D
[04:29] <un214> the only time I wish they gave you root automatically was the rescue cd
[04:29] <caty> Heya, I've been having some problems with getting my graphics tablet to work on ubuntu OS. I found this website online and was wondering if I should follow these instructions or not http://frankgroeneveld.nl/2010/04/11/get-wacom-bamboo-fun-pen-working-in-ubuntu-lucid/ . Many thanks :).
[04:29] <dotblank> un214, um they don't?
[04:29] <un214> in that particular case, requiring prefixing root commands with sudo is pointless
[04:29] <codebrainz> un214, the live cd does
[04:29] <edbian> un214, sudo is just ubuntu's way of doing it.  If they took it out than they would have inconsistency.
[04:29] <codebrainz> caty, i'm surprised it didn't work out of the box
[04:30] <edbian> un214, Like codebrainz said, you can get to a root shell in the live CD can't you?
[04:30] <dotblank> sudo isn't "just" ubuntu
[04:30] <jrib> un214: you know you can just issue « sudo -i », if typing "sudo" repeatedly is what bothers you?
[04:30] <uzer>  where do i get ruby.h, i have installed ruby-dev | jrib
[04:30] <uzer> where do i get ruby.h, i have installed ruby-dev
[04:30] <un214> jrib: no, that's not it
[04:30] <caty> codebrainz, yes i am too, as my older version of the tablet did.
[04:30] <dotblank> uzer, looks like your trying to compile from source
[04:30] <un214> jrib: I believe sudo is less secure than logging in to a secure console
[04:30] <codebrainz> caty, does wacom by chance offer a linux driver?
[04:30] <codebrainz> i never tried
[04:30] <uzer> you are right
[04:31] <jrib> un214: that's the right package
[04:31] <edbian> un214, I have seen lengthy articles about how it is not.
[04:31] <jrib> uzer: erm, why?
[04:31] <dotblank> uzer, What are you trying to compile
[04:31] <edbian> un214, That's all I'll say.
[04:31] <caty> codebrainz, no, i don't think they do
[04:31] <jrib> un214: erm, why?
[04:31] <uzer> weechat
[04:31] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all.  Any thoughts on which version of ubuntu my wife should be installing?  She's got an ASUS 1201hab (11in laptop).  Its running the atom proc.
[04:31] <jrib> uzer: weechat is in the repositories, don't compile it
[04:31] <un214> jrib: trojan can easily patch bash in ram to run its own sudo, grab the password, and have a heyday
[04:31] <un214> sure it's detectable but do you check every time?
[04:31] <codebrainz> caty, what was the model again?
[04:32] <sheerz> Sean:  There is a Ubuntu Netbook remix I believe.
[04:32] <jrib> un214: if I can easily patch X, I think you have more pressing issues....
[04:32] <un214> jrib: patch bash, not X
[04:32] <jrib> un214: oh, it's only easy to patch bash?
[04:32] <sumoduno> i have problems with the ICEauthority. when i turn on my computer, it says its missing
[04:32] <jrib> un214: I meant X as a variable
[04:32] <un214> jrib: ah
[04:33]  * jrib tries to remember that is a bad choice when dealing with linux
[04:33] <caty> codebrainz, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wacom-Bamboo-Pen-Graphics-Tablet/dp/B002Q4U4AE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275708758&sr=8-1 here's the version
[04:33] <prince> Sean I put ubuntu regular on that one .... works great
[04:33] <un214> jrib: I've patched programs in RAM to do other things then the author intended before
[04:33] <SeanInSeattle> @prince seriously?  She's having issues with it crashing.
[04:33] <dotblank> uzer, if you still want to compile it from source run sudo apt-get build-dep weechat
[04:33] <SpazStatic> Hey, could someone give me a hand fixing my resolution? I can't get it to go above 640x480 which makes it hard to do anything.
[04:34] <jrib> un214: but if you patch bash and when you login with root you use a bash shell...
[04:34] <un214> jrib: you see, patching software on disk requires admin but patching the running image can be done by attaching as a debugger
[04:34] <prince> Sean ... it has to be a newer version .... 9.10 or 10.04
[04:34] <dotblank> Sure SpazStatic. can you give me some more information like how long it has been like that.. did you make a change and it broke or was it never above that resolution
[04:34] <codebrainz> caty, if it's a new model, it might be worth straying from the xorg drivers in the repo and compiling the newest ones
[04:34] <SeanInSeattle> @prince Yep, she installed the latest, 10.04.
[04:35] <edbian> un214, Is that true?  Is it difficult?
[04:35] <jrib> un214: I don't think this is a good reason to remove sudo in favor of logging in as root.  Just keep sudo installed.  If you prefer to login as root for some tasks, that's fine
[04:35] <prince> if it is intel 8xx chipset it won't work
[04:35] <uzer> wasn't really good idea 0.5G bild deps!
[04:35] <connor> hey everybody
[04:35] <caty> codebrainz, ah okay then, thanks
[04:35] <prince> Sean if it is intel 8xx chipset it won't work
[04:35] <un214> edbian: true it's difficult but I've done it before so I can do it again. Sooner or later somebody else is going to figure it out.
[04:35] <sheerz> Sean: Just try the netbook remix.  There is a compatibility page so you can check on the support for your lappy. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks
[04:35] <jimtuv> There really is no good reason to log in as root. It is way dangerous.
[04:35] <dotblank> uzer, lots of deps,,, sure you still wan't to compile from source?
[04:35] <jrib> uzer: install weechat directly from the repositories
[04:36] <SpazStatic> dotblank : I changed monitors. I've seen this monitor at higher resolutions on other computers, so I know it can go to something more reasonable.
[04:36] <connor> since when is root dangerous?
[04:36] <edbian> un214, What kind of debugger are you using that lets you edit your programs while they're running?
[04:36] <edbian> un214, Are these programs compiled c code?
[04:37] <dotblank> ok SpazStatic can you pastebin the output of "xrandr"
[04:37] <dotblank> !pastebin
[04:37] <connor> could anybody help me with python?
[04:37] <un214> edbian: I wrote my own patching program that patched them as if they were assembly code
[04:37] <jrib> connor: it's dangerous in the sense it has the power to do dangerous things...  Why are you asking?
[04:37] <shauno> and how does altering the user's bash instance reflect on sudo at all?
[04:37] <edbian> jimtuv, Anytime you sudo something you're effectively root for that command.  Sudo is no less dangerous than the root account
[04:37] <codebrainz> connor, i could, but there's #python for that
[04:37] <edbian> jimtuv, It is dangerous to be root all the time
[04:37] <jrib> connor: if it's about programming in python, #python is a better place.  Otherwise just ask your question
[04:37] <un214> shauno: easy, sudo root-command now runs ~/.trojan/sudo
[04:37] <jordy82> question to anyone who will be interested in my idea i wanna create an theme for kde/gnome for karamba and it should be created for an netbook.. easy to read mail, chat, music adn so one all on your desktop who will work with me ?
[04:38] <edbian> un214, c programs are not compiled (or running) as assembly code.  They're binary files.
[04:38] <edbian> un214, Again, what language was the program you "patched" ?
[04:38] <sheerz> Sean: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Asus Eee 1201HA
[04:38] <un214> edbian: I don't know the language that I patched. I saw it as binary code
[04:38] <edbian> un214, Does "patch" mean edit the code of the program?
[04:38] <SeanInSeattle> Sheerz:  the compat page that you linked to, is that a list of reviews where ubuntu normal / desktop was installed, or the netbook remix?
[04:38] <edbian> un214, So you changed the binary code of a program as it was running?
[04:38] <un214> edbian: yes
[04:39] <sheerz> Both.
[04:39] <edbian> un214, yes to which question?
[04:39] <codebrainz> what?
[04:39] <un214> edbian: I changed the binary code while it was running
[04:39] <SeanInSeattle> sheerz:  thx.  thats a really great link.  I appreciate it.
[04:40] <edbian> un214, So you used a debugger to gain access to the portions of the memory (ram) that you needed to edit.
[04:40] <un214> edbian: yes
[04:40] <SpazStatic> dotblank: Actually, I need to go. I'll be back later.
[04:40] <edbian> un214, What program did you use to convert your commands to binary code?
[04:40] <un214> edbian: nasm
[04:41] <dotblank> Ugh
[04:41] <codebrainz> un214, can you describe your issue again, i'm interested
[04:42] <un214> codebrainz: I was asking if anything would break if I turned off sudo. I see it as unsafe to sudo from my primary account to root in comparision to logging in as root.
[04:42] <edbian> un214, He says he can use a debugger, attach it to a running instance of sudo or bash (or any program) and live on the fly edit the binary code while the program is running.  Therefore sudo is insecure
[04:42] <edbian> un214, If you can do something like that then the entire system is insecure
[04:43] <edbian> un214, Did I get all that right?
[04:43] <un214> edbian: it's impossible to do it to processes that aren't running as you
[04:43] <codebrainz> un214, you can remove yourself from /etc/sudoers
[04:43] <edbian> un214, Unless you're running the debugger as root...
[04:43] <un214> so I modify bash to spawn a fake sudo that captures the password
[04:44] <Jordan_U> edbian: No, strace and similar programs do not work with setuid binaries. He would only be able to do that if the debugger were already running as root, in which case what's the point?
[04:44] <un214> Jordan_U: easy. trick user to providing password to trojan then trojan uses it to sudo and have fun
[04:45] <Jordan_U> edbian: NVM, I see you were making that point yourself :)
[04:45] <tau> hi, i am using ubuntu + kubunt-desktop, when i initialize the gnome the screen resolution works perfectly but when i run the kubuntu it set back to the old configuration, i looked for Xorg.conf at /etc/X11 but no there is such file. what can I do to fix it ?
[04:45] <edbian> Jordan_U, :)
[04:45] <edbian> un214, I defy you to trick me into giving you my root password.
[04:45] <manish> un214: It is an interesting topic. I am a newbie, but its really interesting.
[04:45] <edbian> un214, I welcome the challange
[04:45] <prince> updated my adobe flash and now my camera won't work online ..... anyone else????
[04:46] <codebrainz> un214, the whole system is designed to stop what you said
[04:46] <un214> If I gave you such a trojan (I don't have most of the pieces on hand) and somehow got you to run it you would have to decontaminate your account
[04:46] <codebrainz> un214, ok, so maybe access to $HOME
[04:46] <un214> codebrainz: anyway you can simulate it by creating a ~/.trojan/sudo and placing ~/.trojan in your path
[04:46] <edbian> un214, Yeah, if I was an idiot and ran code that some stranger gave me.
[04:47] <jimtuv> un214 I don't even know my root password. I wrote it down locked it in a safe and have no clue what it is so asking wouldn't do any good ;P
[04:47] <Jordan_U> un214: True, and what's your alternative to sudo? su has the same problem. The only possible way around a trojan like that is to use alt+sysrq+k before ever logging in.
[04:47] <dewman> decontaminate? wow, that sounds like a windows issue... lol
[04:47] <un214> Jordan_U: my alternative is Ctrl+Alt+F1 yielding a console that has not been logged into
[04:48] <codebrainz> un214, tty1 is for kernel messages i think :)
[04:48] <manish> Jordan_U: can you please elaborate on alt+sysrq+k??
[04:48] <Jordan_U> un214: How do you know it hasn't been logged into? It's just as easy to mimick login as it is sudo.
[04:48] <un214> codebrainz: yeah but there's a getty ghere
[04:48] <un214> Jordan_U only if you already have root
[04:49] <un214> Jordan_U if you can walk up to my computer you can compromize it by booting CD anyway
[04:49] <edbian> un214, So your method of attaching a debugger comprimises the system how?  Really the comprise comes from the trojan...
[04:49] <codebrainz> un214, if you can get a user to "become root" the world is your oyster. so?
[04:49] <edbian> un214, If you have physical access you can set the computer on fire.
[04:49] <speiros> I am having trouble with OBM.  It seems to not work on my computer, and is stopping me from downloading other stuff.  Can someone help me to get my computer to download properly again?  Thanks.
[04:50] <un214> codebrainz: I'm willing to wait until the user wants to become root the next time around
[04:50] <kmyst> anybody know why creating an ad-hoc wireless network fails on intrepid? it used to work on gutsy...i don't use it often but need it to work now
[04:50] <codebrainz> un214, ok, so it's kinda pointless, all systems everywhere in the world on every pc will let you f it up if you have root access/physical access.  where's the challenge?
[04:50] <manish> un214: I am really interested in your code.
[04:51] <jimtuv> un214 I have use Ubuntu now for 3 years and still haven't every logged in as root. You may have a long time to wait
[04:51] <Jordan_U> un214: It kills any program running on the current tty and starts login, going through the kernel directly. Anything else can be spoofed.
[04:51] <un214> jimtuv: when's the last time you used sudo?
[04:51] <edbian> jimtuv, sudo is not a whole lot different ;)
[04:51] <jimtuv> I cant sudo from my account
[04:51] <edbian> jimtuv, How do you update your software?
[04:51] <well_laid_lawn> shouldn't this hacking accounts stuff be in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[04:52] <un214> Jordan_U: I know about alt-sysrq-k. I also know that nobody I don't trust has access to the console thanks to a locked door
[04:52] <codebrainz> well_laid_lawn, if other questions were going unanswered, yes
[04:52] <jimtuv> I have to log into the admin and let him do the update. That is why I have the 25 character login
[04:52] <well_laid_lawn> I didn't think it mattered what else was happening...
[04:53] <un214> jimtuv: then I think you're safe
[04:53] <edbian> jimtuv, Then you're logging in as root :)  It's very secure though with that password
[04:53] <codebrainz> well_laid_lawn, maybe
[04:53] <Inconis>  !
[04:53] <jimtuv> but only for a few minuets every week or so
[04:53] <well_laid_lawn> codebrainz: seen the channel topic?
[04:53] <shauno> It's an interesting theory.  I believe selinux can prohibit processes from attaching like a debugger, if you're genuinely that paranoid
[04:53] <kazagistar> I am building an application that outputs MIDI to a channel... is there some other application I can use to GET the control signals and, dunno, play sounds?
[04:54] <codebrainz> well_laid_lawn, just messin around.  seems pointless to enforce o/t when nothings happening
[04:54] <well_laid_lawn> k
[04:54] <Jordan_U> un214: Even though I've taken your invalid argument having root login enabled and given you a valid one, the decrease in security from logging in as root (the human factors of it) far outway this one benefit. And without alt+sysrq+k even that advantage is gone.
[04:54] <edbian> The debugger can only attach to processes that are owned by you so no matter what code you inject you can only do things you could do normally
[04:54] <well_laid_lawn> codebrainz: just it was a boring conversation there
[04:54] <codebrainz> well_laid_lawn, agreed
[04:55] <calibre> how come some days my memory says different numbers, like some days it will say 256 of mem used and now it says 500
[04:55] <codebrainz> calibre, did you spill wine in your cpu?
[04:55] <Euthanatos> i can't help but think they shoudl have stuck with more reliable versions of integral software with an LTS
[04:56] <calibre> no
[04:56] <prince> calibre: alzhimers
[04:56] <well_laid_lawn> calibre: bad mem stick or mobo socket maybe
[04:56] <calibre> well the numbers jump
[04:56] <codebrainz> calibre, push the ram in harder, then drink the wine
[04:56] <calibre> a lot
[04:56] <calibre> .
[04:56] <un214> Jordan_U: Anyone who can reach the console can interact with the bootloader. I didn't use EFS so it's game over at that point.
[04:56] <shauno> calibre: Is it the total that's changing? Or the amount used / free
[04:56] <well_laid_lawn> calibre: or maybe the mem stick just needs reseating
[04:57] <calibre> Its like
[04:57] <calibre> the MiB is like 200 and now it just jumped to 600.
[04:57] <calibre> Mem and swap history
[04:57] <codebrainz> calibre, are you watching the 'free' command?
[04:57] <well_laid_lawn> calibre: where are you seeing that pls
[04:58] <calibre> System monitor
[04:58] <calibre> under resources
[04:58] <codebrainz> calibre, the kernel is smarter than us, she knows when to use resources better than we do.
[04:58] <calibre> i see
[04:59] <codebrainz> calibre, if you're not using it, the kernel's gonna use it
[04:59] <calibre> ah
[04:59] <calibre> so I shouldn't worry about it?
[04:59] <calibre> The numbers jump when i listen to music and stuff
[04:59] <calibre> or have multiple windows open in firefox
[04:59] <Binary0010> that is normal
[05:00] <sumoduno> how do you remove something installed by a script?
[05:00] <codebrainz> calibre, probably not, that is what happens, that's why those programs let you watch it
[05:00] <well_laid_lawn> !checkinstall | sumoduno
[05:00] <shauno> calibre: the amount used will vary depending on what you're doing.   and what you've done recently enough to be cached.  and what housekeeping is happening behind the scenes, etc
[05:00] <well_laid_lawn> sumoduno: you do it one file at a time
[05:01] <calibre> ok
[05:01] <calibre> thx
[05:01] <sumoduno> well_laid_lawn well the problem is my friend did it and it's causing problems on my computer. he used app runner to install it. the program is called vettle
[05:02] <Jordan_U> un214: There ways to exploit vulnerabilities to print to tty's you aren't on without root access. And you are making the common mistake of only thinking about security in the technological sense. Most attacks exploit wetware. By logging in as root you are making youself more vulnerable to human error, which is what you should be most concerned about.
[05:02] <pegler> hello all again
[05:02] <acerimmer_> sumoduno: two words: "Guest Session"
[05:02] <well_laid_lawn> sumoduno: I don't know that prog - you might find all the files if you can locate them with the   find   command
[05:03] <WXZ> the tomboy drop-down, it's not a launcher
[05:03] <sumoduno> well_laid_lawn i did, but nothing shows up
[05:03] <WXZ> so what is it?
[05:03] <sumoduno> well_laid_lawn i think its an add on for firefox but it doesnt show there
[05:03] <WXZ> and how do I create something similar to it
[05:03] <pegler> I am setting up a software raid using mdadm, and I keep trying to create a raid5 array with 6 2TB drives.  but in /proc/mdstat it says UUUUU_, which means one of the drives isn't being added to the array.  or does that mean one of the drives is bad?
[05:04] <codebrainz> WXZ elaborate.  which drop down, where?
[05:04] <well_laid_lawn> sumoduno: I don't know it so since it isn't a package from ubuntu and was installed by a script...
[05:04] <WXZ> on the panel which shows you all your notes
[05:04] <sumoduno> well_laid_lawn so to uninstall it i have to find the files and delete it?
[05:05] <kazagistar> does anyone know any application at all that plays "live" midi data directly from an input, as opposed to from a file?
[05:05] <well_laid_lawn> sumoduno: yep - i would start in /usr/bin
[05:05] <Binary0010> sumoduno: if it is a script you should be able to parse through and trace exactly what was done
[05:05] <codebrainz> WXZ, you want to have your program show up in the panel, with a menu?
[05:06] <WXZ> well actually I want to change the tomboy menu
[05:06] <pegler> and 1 spare
[05:06] <WXZ> but first I have to understand it to change it
[05:06] <WXZ> and in general, that's not a bad thing to know if I ever want to write an app
[05:06] <pegler> I just checked mdadm --detail md0 and it lists 5 active, 6 working, and 1 spare.  is that just because it is not entirely built yet?
[05:07] <codebrainz> WXZ, other than the configuration provided by the program, you'd have to check out the source and hack on it a bit.  It's written in C# i think, which is nice.
[05:07] <WXZ> yeah, I understand I'll need to hack the code a bit
[05:07] <brez> wow, takes longer to transfer this distro onto a USB then it did to download ;|
[05:07] <WXZ> but I don't understand, is the menu like another program or something
[05:07] <WXZ> from which you can open the tomboy interface
[05:07] <well_laid_lawn> WXZ: you can do   apt-get source application-name   to get the source if your os is set up for it
[05:07] <SwedeMike> pegler: cat /proc/mdstat instead, there you'll see what is going on.
[05:08] <WXZ> well_laid_lawn: I have the source already
[05:08] <codebrainz> WXZ, it's a gtk program that uses the notifyicon to put an icon and menu in your tray
[05:08] <WXZ> alright, so it is a seperate app
[05:09] <codebrainz> WXZ, it's likely using Gtk#
[05:09] <WXZ> so tomboy = 2 apps, the actual tomboy interface + the menu
[05:09] <codebrainz> so get monodevelop and explore the source
[05:09] <well_laid_lawn> WXZ: so you are asking how to read the programming language the source is written in?
[05:09] <Sumit> I have attached LCD tv to my laptop. But dont know how to get display on the TV.
[05:09] <WXZ> no well_laid_lawn
[05:09] <Sumit> any idea
[05:09] <WXZ> codebrainz answered it pretty much
[05:10] <WXZ> I understand what a launcher is, and what an app is.. didn't know into which category the tomboy menu fell into
[05:10] <sumoduno> well_laid_lawn i found it. thanks!
[05:10] <well_laid_lawn> !xrandr | Sumit
[05:10] <auser-user> how can I upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 without using the live cd? I tried update-manager -d but no updates/upgrades offered
[05:10] <well_laid_lawn> sumoduno: np :]
[05:11] <bastid_raZor> auser-user: ask in #ubuntu+1
[05:11] <Sumit> thanks will check the details
[05:11] <auser-user> k
[05:11] <well_laid_lawn> auser-user: tried in #ubuntu+1?
[05:12] <aruntomar> i'm trying to install lucid by using the localnet+pxe method, but it gives a debootstrap error, has anyone else faced the same issue, i'm using the dvd dump+http for access it
[05:13] <Parabola> would it be safe to assume that ubuntu has an HFS driver builtin ?
[05:13] <codebrainz> aruntomar, what is the specific error?
[05:13] <codebrainz> Parabola, yes, but it may or may not be r/w
[05:13] <rww> !hfs
[05:14] <Parabola> i just need read
[05:14] <codebrainz> Parabola, you're gold then
[05:14] <Parabola> maybe not
[05:14] <Parabola> its an external that has my iphoto backup on it
[05:14] <Parabola> and my mac got wiped for win7 for a dev project :(
[05:14] <Parabola> and i cant find a backup on my freenas box
[05:14] <Parabola> years of pictures gone :(
[05:15] <codebrainz> Parabola, unless you dd the drive, the data is never gone!
[05:15] <Parabola> dd ?
[05:15] <Parabola> !dd
[05:15] <Parabola> i crashed the bot
[05:15] <codebrainz> Parabola, unless you wiped the disk, the data is still there
[05:15] <Parabola> ah yeah
[05:15] <well_laid_lawn> !info dd
[05:15] <Jordan_U> Parabola: Linux can mount hfsplus just fine. What problem are you having specifically?
[05:15] <Parabola> motor is dead i think
[05:15] <Parabola> Jordan_U,  me being a dumbass
[05:15] <Parabola> and not using my NAS
[05:16] <Parabola> and then the cheap HDD my mac used for time machines died :)
[05:16] <Parabola> i have it in the freezer now
[05:16] <aruntomar> codebrainz, Debootstrap Error  couldn't retrive package dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages. This may be due to a network problem or a bad CD, depending on your installation method.
[05:16] <Parabola> i've actually had that work temp.
[05:16] <codebrainz> Parabola, linux will read your HFS disk if the motor will spin
[05:16] <Parabola> can you just spin it fast for me plz?
[05:16] <Parabola> try to get it around 7200 ;)
[05:16] <Jordan_U> Parabola: I recommend that you use ddrescue to get as much off the disk as possible, before you do more damage.
[05:17] <codebrainz> aruntomar, do you have a solid internet connection?
[05:17] <Parabola> jordan: what is that, and how will that help with a bad motor
[05:17] <punkmexic> hi anybody knows about the more secure firewall or the more secure way to avoid someone try to hack me if im using ubuntu_?
[05:17] <Jordan_U> Parabola: i.e. Don't do anything with the drive except use ddrescue (gnu ddrescue specifically, as there are two different utilities with the same name)
[05:17] <Sumit> installed XrandR, but its not listing my LCD tv
[05:18] <Parabola> !info ddrescue
[05:18] <naiad2> if I have 2 drives in my lvm, both on the same group, but only systems files on one drive.  if I remove the non system drive will it 'cause issues?
[05:18] <Jordan_U> !gddrescue | Parabola
[05:18] <bastid_raZor> punkmexic: fail2ban is nice for those ssh'ers who don't belong
[05:18] <codebrainz> Parabola, i agree totally with Jordan_U
[05:18] <aruntomar> codebrainz, i've mounted the dvd iso image and created a symlink to /var/www/ubuntu , so that i can access it via http
[05:19] <Parabola> alright
[05:19] <Parabola> i'll install it
[05:19] <Jordan_U> !info gddrescue | Parabola
[05:19] <Jordan_U> Parabola: Use the gddrescue package.
[05:19] <aruntomar> codebrainz, it boots the system, even partitions the disk properly, but in the installation of base components, it throws this error
[05:20] <codebrainz> aruntomar, it sounds like a network issue
[05:20] <jordy82> does anyone here own a asrock ion 330 ??
[05:20] <pegler> does someone have experience with mdadm?
[05:21] <Parabola> jordan please tell me it has a gui
[05:21] <Parabola> i dont know where the file i need is, i want to get it quickly
[05:21] <Parabola> itll be faster with the file names to browse in gui
[05:21] <Jordan_U> Parabola: It will first try to read the entire drive / partition without retrying (which the kernel would normally do if you mounted the partition, and which risks causing more damage). If it hits an error it logs where the error was and tries to recover that after everything else that is read without errors is recovered.
[05:22] <codebrainz> Parabola, http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gddrescue
[05:22] <jordy82> or does anybody here have an remote controll for linux i am wonder if it it possible when you update your system the remote wont work again
[05:22] <Parabola> i dont want the whole drive recovered
[05:22] <Parabola> just one bit of data
[05:23] <Jordan_U> Parabola: I recommend that you read the man page completely if this data is important to you, as it explains well the concepts of data recovery.
[05:23] <ablyss> jordy82: like a tv remote?
[05:23] <Parabola> will do :)
[05:23] <Tonisius> How can I debug my preseed/kickstart system, the append paramter is not being used:   append auto preseed/url=http://192.168.1.250/lucid_x86_kickseed.cfg initrd=ubuntu/lucid/amd64/initrd.gz -- quiet
[05:23] <jordy82> ablyss yes
[05:23] <shauno> jordy82: as a rule, configuration shouldn't be touched unless absolutely necessary when updating.  so it "shouldn't" happen (unless it really has to)
[05:24] <Jordan_U> Parabola: What percentage of the data on the drive is data that you need?
[05:24] <Tonisius> but the PXE client is booting from the correct kernel, and i can cat /proc/cmdline and it shows what is appended to the kernel command, but the installer is still asking me questions....
[05:24] <codebrainz> jordy82, the program/package is lirc, google for how to configure it, might help
[05:24] <Tonisius> I am doing a tail -f on my apache log for that server, the installer never tries to download it, any ideas?
[05:24] <Parabola> jordan: less than 10
[05:24] <Parabola> its like, 700mb of photos, maybe
[05:24] <Parabola> on a 160gb drive with 100gb of data
[05:25] <Euthanatos> okay so the xrandr wiki proved to be totally useless and I'm unsure where to go next to manually set up a second display that isn't being detected or otherwise configure xorg to support my 1080p monitor
[05:25] <codebrainz> Parabola, just recover the whole disk.  you can use photorec in the testdisk package
[05:25] <aruntomar> Tonisius, use the key combination ctrl+shift+f4
[05:25] <jordy82> shauno when i update the kernel i also should reinstall my nvidia drivers so i am wondering if that can happend also to the remote
[05:25] <Tonisius> aruntomar: and what do I need to look for?
[05:25] <Tonisius> aruntomar: I don't see any errors, and its not letting me scroll up
[05:25] <ablyss> jordy82: what type of remote? hauppauge ?
[05:26] <jordy82> asrock
[05:26] <Jordan_U> Parabola: If it's not much (like 1 GIG of a 1TB drive) then you are better off trying to mount it and just grab those files, if it's a signifigant amount then your best bet is to just try to get it all with ddrescue and grab individual files out later from the image ddrescue creates (which you can mount and browse through the GUI)
[05:26] <codebrainz> jordy82, what does linux detect it as?
[05:26] <codebrainz> maybe check dmesg after re-plugging it in
[05:26] <aruntomar> Tonisius, yes, it won't let u scroll
[05:26] <jordy82> i downloaded the driver from the asrock website
[05:26] <aruntomar> Tonisius, what is the problem u r facing for which u would like to debug
[05:26] <Tonisius> aruntomar: but what could I be looking for, I see DEBUG stuff, but no ERROR or ALERT's there
[05:27] <shauno> jordy82: drivers are very tied to the kernel.  *very*.  that'll happen.  lirc isn't a driver tho.  (the driver in that case would be between the receiver and the kernel, and lirc sits between the kernel and the application.  it's on a much more stable interface)
[05:27] <jordy82> my remote works but i am just wondering if it can give trouble when i update ubuntu
[05:27] <aruntomar> Tonisius, if there r no errors, then ur setup is working fine :)
[05:28] <codebrainz> jordy82, just backup the lirc config files
[05:28] <Tonisius> but it's asking me questions, when the config I have should solve all that, the cfg file is never downloaded
[05:28] <phoenix__> where can i find the aac settings
[05:28] <jordy82> can you tell me how ?
[05:28] <brez> I downloaded ubuntu 10.4 iso from my ISP's FTP so it would be unmetered, how do I install the .iso from within 9.04
[05:28] <phoenix__> or faac settings
[05:28] <Tonisius> aruntomar: the whole point of a preseed and using the auto kernel option is that it shouldn't be asking me any questions
[05:28] <Tonisius> brez: mount it to your CDrom, and use the cdrom location as an apt-get source
[05:29] <Tonisius> and do an update, then upgrade
[05:29] <brez> ah ok
[05:29] <aruntomar> Tonisius, ok, so basically ur kickstart file is not getting used or accessed for installation
[05:29] <codebrainz> jordy82, if you haven't tweaked em, don't worry.  otherwise, a google search will reveal the location(s) of lirc config file(s)
[05:29] <Tonisius> aruntomar: correct
[05:29] <jordy82> oke thanks for your help
[05:30] <Tonisius> aruntomar: it's not getting accessed at all, I'm watching all logs that pertain to the webserver hosting it
[05:30] <Tonisius> aruntomar: I can continue the installation, and when installing packages it will obtain them from my webserver, so I know i'm watching the right place
[05:31] <Jordan_U> brez: Tonisius: You can only upgrade with the alternate CD, and only from one release to immediate next one (you can't skip directly from 9.04 to 10.04)
[05:31] <aruntomar> Tonisius, u need to insert a different line, rather than the preseed stuff, just a min, i'll tell u that
[05:31] <Tonisius> Jordan_U: oh, I missed that... sorry
[05:32] <Tonisius> i like my unmetered network connection :D
[05:32] <Jordan_U> brez: If your ISP provides unmetered isos they probably also provide unmetered repositories that you can use to upgrade (and when just normally installing packages)
[05:33] <Euthanatos> is there nowhere I can go to figure out how to support my new monitor?  Or am I just just screwed because hardware is a gamble with linux?
[05:34] <ablyss> Euthanatos: often I find out its a simple setting in the bios
[05:34] <john275> Hey guys, what's the best itunes replacement for ubuntu?
[05:34] <SwedeMike> john275: what aspect of itunes?
[05:34] <Euthanatos> bios settings for monitor support?
[05:35] <Euthanatos> it's not an IGP
[05:35] <john275> SwedeMike, well, i want podcast support. and if it looks like itunes thats  a plus
[05:35] <jordy82> john275 i use vlc
[05:35] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: have you even mentioned what gfx card you're running?
[05:35] <SwedeMike> john275: what does "podcast" support imply?
[05:35] <Euthanatos> ATI3450HD
[05:36] <brez> Tonisius: It's saying "failed to mount cdrom"
[05:36] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: then you should start looking in that area, "how do I get multiple monitor support on my ATI card".
[05:36] <brez> first time i type the command not using sudo, and it found the CD then gave me permission denied ;x
[05:36] <aruntomar> Tonisius, in ur text.cfg file append install=url_to_ur_kickstart_file
[05:36] <brez> tried again using sudo; no dice.
[05:36] <john275> SwedeMike, being able to subscribe to podcast feeds, hopefully support for password protected rss feeds
[05:37] <Tonisius> aruntomar: I'll try that
[05:37] <Jordan_U> john275: Rhythmbox (which is the default for Ubuntu) is pretty good. "best" is subjective.
[05:37] <Euthanatos> SwedeMike, i'm not looking for multiple mointor support i only have one 1080p monitor that i want to use i was trying to get it working as a second monitor from using my old 19" 3:4 as a failsafe because ubuntu flaked on me
[05:37] <Euthanatos> since then i just switched the VGA output and it works fine but it still can't detect this monitor to save it's life
[05:38] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: sorry, no experience with ATI for me.
[05:38] <aruntomar> Tonisius, i'm getting debootstrap error when it tries to install the base component, r u facing anything like that
[05:38] <Euthanatos> SwedeMike, i'm pretty sure it's not an ATI issue but okay
[05:38] <Tonisius> aruntomar: no, nothing like that, and it still ignores the append options
[05:38] <Euthanatos> imm try bios settings maybe i did miss something
[05:38] <Euthanatos> bbl count on it
[05:39] <Tonisius> and I' know the kernel is getting them, because the cat /proc/cmdline shows the options for install=  and url=
[05:40] <Tonisius> oooh, I'll try saying which netcfg interface to use
[05:42] <Tonisius> aruntomar: I got the problem, and I know what it is now
[05:43] <Tonisius> I have to specify the language settings at the boot time too
[05:43] <jenue> guys, what package that can burn iso image file in ubuntu?
[05:43] <plutonium45> hi guys , does ubuntu has zenity installed by default ?
[05:46] <jimtuv> Brasero Disc Burner will burn an iso
[05:47] <vitamin-carrot> right click on your ISO file and click wright to disk if i rmeember correctly
[05:48] <john275> Hey guys, what's the best (in your opinion) itunes replacement for ubuntu?
[05:48] <Jordan_U> john275: Rhythmbox (which is the default for Ubuntu) is pretty good. "best" is subjective.
[05:48] <mobius2> greetings ubuntu channel
[05:49] <Euthanatos> i can't stand music managers personally.  but if you need ipod support john275 gtkpod doesn't support the new 5's
[05:50] <Euthanatos> so no music manager will support your ipod for a while until gtkpod catches up to apples hate
[05:50] <mobius2> can someone explain to me please how to patch an executeable file which resides inside of a crossover bottle? I can easilly browse a standard wine file system but rosetta stone won't install under wine standard......
[05:50] <ZenMasta> i ran aptitude safe-upgrade about a half hour ago and it seems to be stuck on this phase: Unpacking replacement linux-headers-2.6.32-22 ...   what should I do?
[05:51] <mobius2> I cannot seem to be able to find the file browser for each bottle instance
[05:51] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all.  I'm having issues installing xmms.  I tried using "sudo apt-get install xmms" but that can't find the pkg that I'm requesting.  :(  I've also tried downloading the tarbal, except that when I run the .configure cmd it barks about glib, which I just installed.
[05:51] <mobius2> SeanInSeattle,  I had luck manually compiling it
[05:51] <mobius2> but my hardware is old
[05:51] <Euthanatos> ZenMasta, kernel headers can be big and compression high so if your computer is old it might just take a while
[05:51] <mobius2> I think i have the installer here somewhere
[05:51] <mobius2> link i mean
[05:52] <ZenMasta> Euthanatos modern dual core cpu 3ghz with 2gb ram... so just be patient?
[05:52] <Euthanatos> ZenMasta, no something is wrong, that shouldn't take oyu more than 10 or 15 minutes tops
[05:52] <mobius2> does anyone in here run crossover for any reason?
[05:52] <ZenMasta> maybe reboot and try again?
[05:52] <Euthanatos> personally i always avoid upgrades because they fail every time
[05:53] <Euthanatos> back up and reinstall imho
[05:53] <tau> hey, how can I do to remove completely the kubuntu ? i tried apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop but it still exists in here.
[05:53] <mobius2> SeanInSeattle,  why not just use vlc or another crispy native player
[05:53] <ZenMasta> its a fresh install of 10.04 but i was just followinga guide online
[05:53] <mobius2> or are you installing 2.0?
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> !puregnome | tau
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. what is that pure gnome factoid..
[05:53] <SeanInSeattle> @mobius I'm used to running winamp on windows, and I saw how xmms was modeled after it.
[05:53] <vagothcpp_> Hey, i just installed ubuntu on an lvm, anyway, i go to mount my directorys, and /dev/lvm0-vg/ubuntu-root does not exist, the names are however correct
[05:53] <Euthanatos> ZenMasta, why not use the standard update manager?
[05:53] <tau> Dr_Willis:  hum
[05:54] <mobius2> SeanInSeattle,  me too ;]   a long time ago
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> tau:  theres a bot factoid on  that topic. but i cant rember the package you need to remove
[05:54] <jimtuv> I have done 3 upgrades now and none have had trouble. I made sure and read the release notes first
[05:54] <tau> Dr_Willis:  ;~
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> !pure-gnome
[05:54] <Euthanatos> ZenMasta, you don't want to upgrade because you don't want 10.10 (Right?)
[05:54] <vagothcpp_> anyone got an idea as to why?
[05:54] <brez> hrm not having an easy time upgrading ubuntu1
[05:54] <SeanInSeattle> @mobius so what's another "crispy native player" that would work well for my needs?  I'll need to be able to listen to shoutcast radio, play mp3s, etc...
[05:54] <brez> i should of copped the usage from my isp ;x
[05:54] <mobius2> does anyone happen to have a stylus for an m-275 gateway laying around..... I think ive lost this one for the last time
[05:54] <ZenMasta> Euthanatos just following an online guide to the letter that's all. i dont necessarily care if I upgrade or not.
[05:55] <Euthanatos> ZenMasta, what guide?
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> SeanInSeattle: mosta ll the players can handle those jobs just fine
[05:55] <ZenMasta> http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx-ispconfig-2-p3
[05:55] <mobius2> Dr_Willis,  it's a nostalgia thing  ^_^
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> !media
[05:55] <Flare-Laptop> !dualhead
[05:55] <jimtuv> sunbird is kinda cool
[05:55] <vagothcpp_> i'll just add in there, i had to reboot into livecd again before i chroot'd but after the install
[05:55] <mobius2> and xmms was pretty kewl
[05:56] <mobius2> the new one blows the original out of the water
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> xmms was cool but always had odd quirks :)
[05:56] <mobius2> check out their new dev page
[05:56] <mobius2> if your hardware can take it
[05:56] <mobius2> Dr_Willis,  indeed
[05:57] <vagothcpp_> is there a way for me to let the livecd see the lvm volume group? and i have installed lvm2 already
[05:57] <thune3> SeanInSeattle: xmms2 is available in universe repo, but i don't know if it is the same as xmms
[05:57] <mobius2> the really weird thing is,  I used to be able to run the real winamp  in wine with only a little shakiness when  re positioning the app  gui.... but after  some updates the program cannot play music anymore :p  not worth trying
[05:57] <SeanInSeattle> @thune3 thx.
[05:57] <brez> can someone help, I have the ISO for ubuntu, I want to upgrade my 9.04 -> Lucid, I didn't download through update-manager as I'm limited by speed, so I used the free alternative on their site.
[05:58] <Euthanatos> ZenMasta, sorry man that's above my tech level, has it been sitting on unpacking the kernbel for an hour and a half or you started the upgrades an hour and a half ago? you might just let it sit for a while
[05:58] <ZenMasta> Euthanatos thanks anyway but it seems the server may have crashed or somethign because I tried opening a new session and couldn't connect... guess I have to wait till I get back to the office on Monday
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> brez:  is it the Desktop cd? or the alternative cd iso file?
[05:58] <brez> desktop
[05:58] <mek8630> can anyone help me figure out why when I try to install Xubuntu it wants to play the disc live instead of install, I am trying to install on a AMD k6-3D 500mhz 192MB ram
[05:58] <Jordan_U> brez: Have you checked if they offer uncapped repositories as well?
[05:58] <jimtuv> you have to upgrade to 9.10 then 10.04
[05:58] <ZenMasta> Euthanatos it has been sitting on unpacking for about a half hour
[05:58] <Dr_Willis> brez:  well if it was the alternative cd - i THINK you could mount the iso file and upgrade from that.. but not sure about the  desktop iso
[05:58] <slide> Is there a way to make any and all files added to a directory automatically a certain UID/PID?
[05:58] <brez> Jordan_U: I work for them, they don't :P
[05:58] <vagothcpp_> Does anyone know what the problem is?
[05:59] <tau> does it work if do 'apt-get remove --purge `dpkg -l 'k*' | gawk '{ print $2 }' ` to remove all packages of kubuntu ?
[05:59] <Euthanatos> ZenMasta, yeah sounds like your server crashed or restarted after it finsihed updating the kernel
[05:59] <brez> I've tried apt-cdrom add
[05:59] <brez> but I keep getting e: "failed to mount cdrom"
[05:59] <Dr_Willis> tau:  i recall there being a much simpiler command/pacage to remove then that.
[05:59] <ZenMasta> yep. okay well thanks anyway
[05:59] <vagothcpp_> brez: apt-cdrom add or sudo apt-cdrom add?
[05:59] <tau> Dr_Willis:  yes, but i looked at google i didn't find.
[06:00] <brez> doesn't work :|
[06:00] <mobius2> media check?
[06:00] <brez> i keep getting an error.
[06:00] <thune3> tau: remove everything that starts with k? sounds drastic
[06:00] <mobius2> memory test?
[06:00] <Euthanatos> okay, i'm reinstalling....again....if that fails then it's back to slack....dependancy management be damned
[06:00] <mobius2> :D
[06:00] <wowoto> hi all    i cant extract ISO file in ubuntu , and this is the error report :  This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system  that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification.
[06:00] <vagothcpp_> tau: Hope you don't have any packages that start with 'k' that you need =P
[06:01] <tau> vagothcpp_:  lol
[06:01] <vagothcpp_> wowoto: define extract
[06:01] <tau> vagothcpp_:  yeah, it was what i thought.
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> tau:  the bot has a factoid on it.. someone will rember what it is if you ask.
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> !purekde
[06:01] <wowoto> vagothcpp_:  sorry , whats define extract
[06:01] <vagothcpp_> tau: You don't have any idea what is bugging me do you?
[06:01] <tau> Dr_Willis:  sure, i hope.
[06:01] <jimtuv> you have to burn the iso to cd then mount it
[06:01] <vagothcpp_> wowoto: I want you to define how you are extracting it
[06:01] <brez> once the .iso is mounted to disk, how can I upgrade the distro?
[06:02] <brez> I seem to have mounted it with gmount-iso.
[06:02] <mobius2> wowoto,  what are you trying to do?
[06:02] <wowoto> vagothcpp_: cilck it , choose the "extract it here"
[06:02] <vagothcpp_> wowoto: using ...
[06:02] <gtalker> hi
[06:02] <wowoto> mobius2: trying to extract the ISO
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> tau:  or just fire up the package manager searc for 'kde' and strt removing stuff.
[06:02] <mobius2> :/
[06:02] <wowoto> vagothcpp_: using what ?
[06:03] <mobius2> =P
[06:03] <vagothcpp_> this guy is hopeless
[06:03] <vagothcpp_> wtf are you using to extract it
[06:03] <wowoto> vagothcpp_: :(
[06:03] <tau> Dr_Willis:  sure, i will try it, but they will not remove all packages i guess.
[06:03] <mobius2> I think i might actually be of some help ...* maybe *
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> tau:  thats part of the limitations of the package manager system and their use of the meta-packages to install whole desktops like that.
[06:03] <FlameTai1> Anyone know of a file crypting software for Ubuntu?
[06:03] <tau> Dr_Willis:  yeah
[06:03] <FlameTai1> With a nice GUI
[06:04] <mobius2> wowoto,  how many .iso images does the program you are trying to install consist of?   or are you wanting to extract a data archive which is in an iso format?
[06:04] <Jordan_U> brez: You will need at least two alternate CD isos and some bandwidth for software not in the default install
[06:04] <wowoto> mobius2: i want to extract the windows7.ISO
[06:04] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  try true crypt
[06:04] <mobius2> melt your ram port closed :)
[06:05] <stond> Hi am new to Ubuntu and just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my PS3 and I was wondering what is a good toorent app easy to use
[06:05] <stond> I meant torrent app
[06:05] <FlameTai1> mobius2: Will try right now =]
[06:05] <Dr_Willis> wowoto:  mount the cd via the loop option. copy files from teh mounted dir to whever you want..     is one way
[06:05] <Dr_Willis> !torrents | stond
[06:05] <mek8630> stond: transmission
[06:05] <nisstyre65> stond: transmission, or rtorrent + rtorrent frontends
[06:05] <mobius2> was only joking about the RAM port thing..... reference to the cold boot attack vulnerability
[06:05] <mobius2> but damn good algo's
[06:06] <brez> F IT! I will just use update-manager!
[06:06] <Dr_Willis> stond:  there was a review of a lot of them at the webupd8 web site.  basically any of them do the basics of the job. its all about the extras you may want
[06:06] <vagothcpp_> Is there a way to 'rescan' (don't flame my terminology =P) disks so that my LVM gets recognized and i can mount it's partitions? I have LVM2 installed already
[06:06] <stond> thanks misstyres65
[06:06] <Dr_Willis> brez:  proberly a better choice. :)  Or a reinstall clean.
[06:06] <stond> which one is better transmission or rtorrent
[06:06] <Dr_Willis> stond:  depends on your needs.
[06:07] <vagothcpp_> stond: tias
[06:07] <nisstyre65> rtorrent is command line only but there are GUI frontends for it
[06:07] <bazhang> stond, rtorrent is command line
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> stond:  try them both and see. rtorrent will proberly take some learning.

[06:07] <Parabola> Jordan_U, you here
[06:08] <Parabola> or codebrainz
[06:08] <Parabola> so hooked into my macbook it spins up fine, on my desktops, it does not
[06:08] <stond> well I think I will go with transmission since I not that familar with command line apps yet
[06:08] <Parabola> i'm assuming power
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> mek8630:  you mean from within windows - you are installing xubuntu via the WUBI install method?
[06:08] <Parabola> so im copying data off now
[06:08] <Docteh_> vagothcpp_: try running lvs, otherwise you might have to take a look at vgscan
[06:08] <rdunnion> i am having trouble getting my canon pixma mx860 to work on Lucid x64. The printer is seen but I get the error that pstocanonij failed
[06:08] <shrz> slide: isolate your directory on one filesystem. add a mount option to ext3 that makes it just stomp on the uid/gid of new files.
[06:09] <zver> quit
[06:09] <brez> I hope the update-manager doesn't screw me!
[06:09] <rdunnion> when I try to print test page
[06:09] <brez> because it's a headless box, and I don't feel like walking a monitor down stairs.
[06:09] <mek8630> Dr_Willis: no I am installing on a amd k6-3d 500mhz and 192mb ram and I have installed xubuntu on another computer no problem, well with this 500mhz computer everytime I hit install from boot it wants to run the cd live
[06:09] <slide> shrz, thats what i thought
[06:09] <mobius2> I swear to god I have the most vocal cat in the world....
[06:09] <nisstyre65> brez: forward X to your local computer
[06:09] <vagothcpp_> mount /dev/lvm0-vg/ubuntu-export /target/export gives me mount: special device /dev/lvm0-vg/ubuntu-export does not exist
[06:09] <brez> nisstyre65: ??
[06:10] <brez> I'm still connected via VNC
[06:10] <nisstyre65> brez: your problem is you can't use GUI programs because it's headless right?
[06:10] <vagothcpp_> mobius2: Does it understand you?
[06:10] <nisstyre65> oh VNC
[06:10] <nisstyre65> I thought you were on ssh
[06:10] <nisstyre65> nevermind then
[06:10] <shrz> slide: "add" meaning write a kernel mod. good luck :)
[06:10] <brez> I am, but I can still vnc to it ;o
[06:10] <Docteh_> vagothcpp_: did you punch in lvs?
[06:10] <brez> made sure that was set prior to leaving it in the garage.
[06:10] <vagothcpp_> yeh
[06:10] <mobius2> vagothcpp_,  if he see's ANY emptiness in the dish ... he wails... I have to act like im adding some  but i really just stir it around
[06:10] <mobius2> =P
[06:11] <FlameTai1> mobius2: I don't see it in the Software center, I found a GUI for TrueCrypt though
[06:11] <vagothcpp_> mobius2: Tried telling him to shut up? =P
[06:11] <vagothcpp_> doesn't work for me though
[06:11] <subsume> What role will the ubuntu foundation play in the gulf oil clean-up given that tarballs are now regularly washing up on shore? They haven't released a statement and as a gulf coast resident I am outraged.
[06:11] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  one moment
[06:11] <rdunnion> mobius2 next time put in dog food, he'll stop
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> mek8630:   if you mean its booting the cd instead of the hard drive. it could be the bootloader never got installed to the HD. or the bios boot order is  wrong.

[06:12] <Dr_Willis> mek8630:  check that the cd can boot on other machines, double check the bios boot order.   is about all i can suggest.

[06:15] <stond> what is handbrake
[06:15] <vagothcpp_> It finds the lg fine, pvscan finds the pv fine, lvscan finds the lv's fine

[06:17] <uzer> no i'm testing irssi vs weechat-curses

[06:17] <Jordan_U> mek8630: When you boot from the CD? Then yes, I know what you are taling about.
[06:18] <mek8630> Jordan_U: well if you pick the first option it will do what I am talking about and just run the op system without installing it, if you hit install then it will install the op system, which is what I am wanting to do but itstead its just running it.
[06:18] <vagothcpp_> hmm, it shows the lv as ../../mapper/lvm0--vg-ubuntu--export
[06:18] <FlameTai1> mHm mobius2
[06:18] <FlameTai1> Already did that
[06:18] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  the  True Crypt gui launcher should appear by way of your apps drop down after that
[06:18] <mobius2> under accessories
[06:19] <mobius2> i drive it manually
[06:19] <vishnu> HI
[06:19] <mobius2> but its easy with the gui
[06:19] <mobius2> really it is
[06:19] <Jordan_U> mek8630: There is very little difference between the two options from a technical perspective, and in 10.04 you are by default given the choice after X (the GUI) has started.
[06:19] <Docteh_> vagothcpp_: the /dev/vg0/logicalvolume style names is an option, maybe its accidentally off
[06:19] <mobius2> it mounts a pre defined area of hard drive space as a new drive letter
[06:19] <mobius2> a very powerful piece of software
[06:19] <mobius2> worth learning
[06:20] <vagothcpp_> Docteh_: Know how to enable it without rebooting?
[06:20] <vishnu> I am an sbolute beginner of thge linux ubuntu. how do i enable the app center ? because it says "authentication" error.. it cant be resolved by me. i  want to install stellarium but it can[t .  also for other apps in app center. itt says the  same
[06:20] <Docteh_> vagothcpp_: no idea, You could just work around it and use /dev/mapper/stuff-here
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> vishnu:  you are logged in as your initial user? the one you made during the install proces?
[06:20] <uzzr> use apt-get |
[06:20] <vagothcpp_> Docteh_: That did not seem to work for me when i first tried
[06:20] <FlameTai1> mobius2: I have the GUI installed
[06:21] <mek8630> Jordan_U: yes I know what you are talking about. Being able to install once your desktop comes up. When I try to do it that way since it won't work the other way it crashes on me.
[06:21] <uzzr> use apt-get install stellarium
[06:21] <Jordan_U> mek8630: You can get the screen as you would see it in previous versions by pressing a key during early boot, but there isn't much of a reason to do that.
[06:21] <vagothcpp_> but i have ran 100's of commands so i'll try again
[06:21] <katriel> kinks: Are you using Network Manger? If so, try setting up your wired connection though that
[06:21] <FlameTai1> mobius2: I can't get the actual True Crypt itself to install
[06:21] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  now you wanna create a new volume
[06:21] <vishnu> Dr_Willis: yes.
[06:21] <mobius2> did you sudo?
[06:21] <mobius2> at install?
[06:21] <kinks> katriel: no, I am not using network manager.
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> vishnu:  as a test try from a terminal 'sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME'
[06:21] <Jordan_U> mek8630: Then it will almost certainly crash with the install option also.
[06:21] <vishnu> Dr_Willis:  by computer's ubuntu has only one user and that is me.
[06:21] <FlameTai1> I never did a sudo command mobius2
[06:22] <kinks> or perhaps it's installed and I don't even realize it.
[06:22] <vagothcpp_> you know why it wasnt working and i spent 1hour smashing my keyboard
[06:22] <kinks> so I'll make sure it's not..
[06:22] <vagothcpp_> i spel ubuntu as ubuntu
[06:22] <vagothcpp_> unbuntu*
[06:22] <oblu> dont you just love this ?
[06:22] <oblu> haha!
[06:22] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  you see a true crypt icon in your accessories list?  what happens when you clik it?
[06:22] <mobius2> or is there no icon there?
[06:22] <mek8630> Jordan_U: I don't understand why its crashing. I mean well its not really crashing its generating errors and semi crashing.
[06:22] <Jordan_U> mek8630: But if you want to try it then just press any key during early boot (when you see just the accessability icon at the bottom of the screen)
[06:23] <mobius2> crash spectacularly or not at all i always say :D
[06:23] <FlameTai1> mobius2: There is no "True Crypt" Icon it's just "Easy Crypt"
[06:23] <mobius2> ahh isee
[06:23] <artistxMike> Hey sorry to interrupt, is it possible to get some help setting up my firewire audio interface?
[06:23] <Docteh_> vagothcpp_: ouch, just keep in mind to look in /dev/disk/* in the future
[06:23] <Chak82> hello everyone
[06:23] <artistxMike> I don't need drivers for mac, will I have to somehow install them on my live cd?
[06:23] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  which package did you download?
[06:23] <mobius2> back at the truecrypt site?
[06:24] <artistxMike> 0.8
[06:24] <mek8630> Jordan_U: I think it has something to do with the fact its such an old computer
[06:24] <vagothcpp_> Docteh_: I was not aware of that feature, i'll keep it in mind for i waste more of my, and others time
[06:24] <look> where is grub in ubuntu 10.04?
[06:24] <vagothcpp_> Docteh_: Thanks for the help
[06:24] <Docteh_> vagothcpp_: yw
[06:24] <Chak82> how can i change the login window in ubuntu 10.04?
[06:24] <FlameTai1> mobius2: Linux Standard 32 bit (x86)
[06:24] <kinks> katriel: well, network-manager was indeed installed (and no longer is); hopefully that fixes the issue, thanks.
[06:24] <mobius2> k
[06:24] <look> where is grub in ubuntu 10.04?
[06:24] <katriel> kinks: n/p
[06:24] <Chak82> how can i change the login window in ubuntu 10.04?
[06:24] <Jordan_U> mek8630: If you have integrated graphics then you just barely don't have enough ram for the liveCD installer. Try the alternate (text based) install CD
[06:25] <bazhang> !grub2 | look check here
[06:25] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  making sure that is in fact the one you downloaded,  open a terminal and sudo up,    then start nautilus
[06:25] <vishnu> Dr_Willis: for some reason that i dont know, the app center stated that error yesterday. but it doesnt show that error today. also terminal installing works. thank for reply.
[06:25] <Jordan_U> !alternate | mek8630
[06:25] <FlameTai1> nautilus?
[06:25] <Chak82> how can i change the login window in ubuntu 10.04?
[06:25] <mobius2> find the archive you downloaded from the truecrypt site and extract it again,  REPLACE the existing one
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> vishnu:   i never use the ap center, synaptic or apt-get is what i do 90% of the time
[06:25] <Chak82> how can i change the login window in ubuntu 10.04?
[06:25] <WolfyCRO> Heloo..... I cant make login on 10.04
[06:25] <nisstyre65> Chak82: google gdm themes
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  depends on what you want to change about it.  Theres a few gdm tweak tools
[06:26] <phoenix__> any advanced users here
[06:26] <vagothcpp_> woohoo, now that i have chroot'd into my installed ubuntu, it cant resolve anything =D
[06:26] <vishnu> Dr_Willis: I am an absolute beginer.  i will use advanced tools now. where is synaptic
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  10.04 uses gdm2 - so the old gdm themed dont work
[06:26] <mek8630> Jordan_U, ubottu: I can't use this cd to switch to that one you are talking about some how?
[06:26] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  open a terminal and type sudo,  then enter your password,    then  after that  type    nautilus
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> vishnu:  in the system -> admin menus somewhere
[06:26] <Jordan_U> mek8630: No.
[06:26] <vishnu> Dr_Willis: thank. Bye, Happy day
[06:26] <g-unot> sudo rm -rf *
[06:26] <hikari> System > Administration > synaptic
[06:26] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  a file system browser named......nautilus  will appear
[06:26] <mobius2> :D
[06:26] <Chak82> actually, before version 9.10, ubuntu was become with a module (login window) in the preferences menu
[06:26] <mobius2> its awesome aint it
[06:26] <FlameTai1> Yup
[06:27] <FlameTai1> I see o-o
[06:27] <mek8630> Jordan_U: oh man figures....Alright well thanks for your help]
[06:27] <vagothcpp_> curious, even though i chroot into my target, does it still not use my livecd network connection?
[06:27] <mobius2> hehehe
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  that was the old GDM.. its now using GDM2 and has been radically redone.
[06:27] <Jordan_U> mek8630: You're welcome.
[06:27] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  re extract the archive as root  then install
[06:27] <artistxMike> Anyone think they can help me set up my Presonus Firepod firewire interface with Ardour? I think I need drivers (I didn't need them with my mac), is it even possible to install drivers onto this live cd?
[06:27] <mobius2> double click the extraced file then read everything
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  its not as themeable/tweakable as it used to be
[06:27] <TomG> Does anyone know if it's possible to backup a list of installed packages and run that list in a new install?
[06:27] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: so, how can i change the login window in gdm2?
[06:27] <mek8630> ubottu: thanks for your help
[06:27] <sebersole> i just finished upgrading to 10.04 (laptop) and now my external monitor is all "fuzzy".  Worked fine before ugrade.  Anyone have ideas?
[06:28] <hikari> TomG
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  i asked earlier what Sort of changes do you want to do?
[06:28] <hikari> yeah
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  theres a few 3rd party tools that let you do some tweaking.
[06:28] <vagothcpp_> Would i be correct in my assumption?
[06:28] <mek8630> holy crap I just said thanks to a bot
[06:28] <Jordan_U> Chak82: https://edge.launchpad.net/gdm2setup
[06:28] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: i want to change the usplash and login window
[06:28] <hikari> TomG  :  sudo dpkg --get-selections > installedsoftware
[06:28] <mek8630> nobody say that right
[06:28] <mek8630> haha
[06:28]  * mobius2 is attempting to install Rosetta Stone German 1-5  under Crossover Pro
[06:28] <ac1dburnz> sebersole,  check the drivers System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  usplash is not used any more. its 'plymouth' now. thats not part of gdm.
[06:28] <vishaltelangre> TomG, apt-get install aptoncd
[06:29] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: i will probe this package
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  and what parts of the login window do you want to change?
[06:29] <mobius2> But I cannot seem to figure out how to  get to the  bottle instance file browser
[06:29] <sebersole> ac1dburnz: it only showed wireless driver
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  the wallpaper is easy to change. other bits are a little harder.
[06:29] <TomG> two different answers, I think hikari is closer
[06:29] <TomG> hikari: How would I run that against apt?
[06:29] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: yeah, i want to change ONLY the wallpaper
[06:29] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: how can i change it?
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  find the default wallpaper, edit it/copy somethintg else over it.. is one way. or use that gdm2setup tool mentioned earlier
[06:30] <hikari> this command will make a file with ALL of your installed packages
[06:30] <vishaltelangre> TomG, Apt on CD allows you to make CD/DVDs of installed packages on your machine to use them on non-internet-connected machine
[06:30] <ei06094> disconnect
[06:30] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: ok, let me work with this option
[06:30] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: please wait
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  its in /usr/share/backgrounds/
[06:30] <FlameTai1> mobius2: It's still giving me the error T-T
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> Chak82:  i just copy some other image i perfer over that Ugly purple slotchy image.
[06:31] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  could you chmod your extraction folder 0777?
[06:31] <TomG> I am looking into not just knowing what packages I previously had, but to run that list all in a single command with little to no hassle
[06:31] <tau> lol
[06:31] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  lemme know if you dont follow
[06:31] <tau> Dr_Willis:  i guess i commited a mistake.
[06:31] <TomG> I suppose with apt on CD, I could create it and remove all other repositories
[06:32] <FlameTai1> mobius2:  I way don't follow xD
[06:32] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: python-gdm2setup?
[06:32] <sebersole> i have this realy nice big monitor, sure would be nice to be able to use it
[06:32] <Xcalibar> greetings all , who here is an expert with dual boot ? i have a macbook pro booting windows and mac os x , but i intend to format windows partition and have it replaced with ext4 ubuntu operating system , ive got rEIFT installed , im not sure if i have bootcamp i hope im not complicated
[06:32] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  no problem, we are going to make sure the permissions are correct for the program to be able to install
[06:32] <tau> Dr_Willis:  i looked for the dependences and recommendeds packages with dpkg -s kubuntu-desktop, later i did a script to remove all dependeces and recommendeds packages which are descrited there.
[06:32] <CppIsWeird> how do i install zlib headers?
[06:32] <mobius2> FlameTai1,  open a terminal
[06:32] <hikari> TomG to run the file just type: sudo dpkg --set-selections < installedsoftware
[06:32] <mobius2> muhahahah
[06:32] <tau> described*
[06:32] <vagothcpp_> Does apt-get download a dpkg of what i want and install it or...?
[06:33] <TomG> hikari: Thanks.  That's what I needed.
[06:33] <hikari> and will install all the packages of the file
[06:33] <FlameTai1> mobius2:  can we go into a pm? lol this text is bugging me xD
[06:33] <TomG> hikari: I appreciate it, both of you
[06:33] <mobius2> certainly
[06:33] <hikari> but u need an internet connection
[06:33] <mobius2> hit me up
[06:33] <Jordan_U> !clone | TomG
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> tau:  did you ask in #kubuntu ? they proberly rember a better way to do it.
[06:34] <vishaltelangre> TomG, you can use the CD made by Apt on CD on other machines as a offline repository, you don't need any internet connection neither to download and install packages again!
[06:35] <tau> Dr_Willis:  it doesn't need anymore, i guess my system is death.
[06:35] <TomG> I think I got it all now, thanks again for the help
[06:35] <mondragon> anyone know why 10.04 won't let me set the MTU on my ethernet interface where 9.10 did?
[06:35] <hikari> but in apt on CD what if you clean the system downloads?
[06:35] <tau> dead*
[06:35] <hikari> you can select them if they are already installed but not the .deb in the downloaded packages?
[06:36] <Xcalibar> could any1 help me with mactel?
[06:36] <mondragon> SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument :-/
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> tau:  boot to console, install  some desktop/window manager.. rebuild it better, faster, stronger
[06:36] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: it works !!!
[06:36] <Chak82> Dr_Willis: thank u so much !!!
[06:36] <tau> Dr_Willis:  yes, i will.
[06:36] <vishaltelangre> hikari, yeah... It only backups installed ones via aptitude
[06:37] <tau> thank u Dr_Willis
[06:37] <akav> I'm getting screen glitches like crazy in Lucid whenever I use vim. Anyone have an idea what might cause that?
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> akav:  using vim on the console? or in a gnome-terminal?
[06:38] <akav> Dr_Willis: Actually gvim.
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> akav:  ive not noticed any issues with using vim under 10.04
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> ahh - never use gvim. so cant say
[06:38] <CppIsWeird> im trying to install zlib lib and zlib headers. i downloaded zlib and configured and installed it. the program i was trying to compile no longer asks for the lib but still cant find the zlib headers. any help please?
[06:38] <akav> oh, just got it here. Maybe not connected directly to gvim.
[06:38] <Xcalibar> kind attention to the fellow experts in ubuntu who knows or owns a mac , i really need a quick help , i havent been here since the feisty release
[06:38] <akav> just mostly see it when I'm using that.
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> CppIsWeird:  why did you not use the versions in the package manager?
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> !find zlib
[06:39] <CppIsWeird> cuz none of the packages available sounded like they would work
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> CppIsWeird:  and what are you trying to compile?
[06:41] <CppIsWeird> xen-hyperviser
[06:41] <viatech> anyone know how to enable network devices in Ubuntu Studio? I  lshw -C network and it shows both adapters as disabled?
[06:41] <silv3r_m00n> I have xp and ubuntu together , and a virus comes on xp , is there any risk that it will do anything to ubuntu ?
[06:41] <CppIsWeird> also from source
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> CppIsWeird:  you can use the apt system to 'install' the needed building dependenciues automatically
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> CppIsWeird:  since the (older?) version is in the repos. that makes it easier to get all the dev packages installed thatway
[06:42] <CppIsWeird> yeah well for whatever reason nothing could find xen_tools
[06:42] <CppIsWeird> and since no one would help me there, ive gone running head first down another path
[06:42] <CppIsWeird> so...
[06:42] <CppIsWeird> zlib headers
[06:42] <CppIsWeird> how do i get them?
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> libzlcore-dev - ZLibrary cross-platform development library (development files)
[06:43] <Xcalibar> Dr_Willis have you got experience with mactel?
[06:43] <viatech> silv3r_m00n: As long as you're not emulating ubuntu inside of xp they should be seperate and it's also unlikely that your windows based virus will have any effect on Ubuntu even if it does find your files.
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> assuming zlib = ZLibrary
[06:43] <CppIsWeird> from what i can tell in the output of the make install on the zlib source, it put zlib.h in the /usr/local/include
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> !find zlib.h
[06:44] <vagothcpp_> oh how helpful, AFTER ALL THIS TROBULE, it doesnt work
[06:44] <CppIsWeird> vagothcpp_, welcome to linux.
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> vagothcpp_:  assume we have the attention span of a newt... we dont know what you are talking about.
[06:45] <vagothcpp_> Dr_Willis: Installed LVM to Livecd, made PV's, VG, LV's, installed ubuntu on it, livecd crashed, rebooted, rebooted livecd, installed lvm again, mounted lvm, chroot'd into it, installed lvm to that
[06:45] <vagothcpp_> and it doesnt work
[06:45] <RudyValencia> I think there's a bug in b43.
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> I am reminded of why i dont use LVM's and such things :)
[06:46] <gewt> i wish my wifi cards driver didn't suck so much
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> RudyValencia:  i was thinking theres some alternative drivers now to the b43 . One of my old laptops used that one. I think it canuse the 'sta' driver now
[06:46] <vagothcpp_> This is why i was a CentOS users, built-in support for LVM so i didnt have to do all the effin around
[06:46] <gewt> it joined a network
[06:46] <gewt> pulled an ip
[06:46] <gewt> but nothing worked
[06:46] <gewt> couldn't even ping the router
[06:46] <RudyValencia> Dr_Willis: I had to use ndiswrapper to get it up.
[06:47] <Xcalibar> silv3r_m00n as for your question , i think its better to always backup ur important files in an external harddisk and save ur repository   list so you can load them for installation in ur next format if things go wrong , as for your added  repository ,  you can locate them somewere in ur ubuntu and copy that file so later on you will have your system as it was whenever you have ubuntu in a...
[06:47] <Xcalibar> ...fresh install you can load your system previous settings at its exact , for your settings in GUI theyrs a way to save your work , ask along the experts ;)
[06:47] <Logicwrath> is anyone using phplogcon and snare agents with rsyslog
[06:47] <vagothcpp_> im gonna crawl up in a hole now, goodnite
[06:47] <CppIsWeird> Dr_Willis, the apt-get install that dev package seems to have worked, however, since half of this is installed from source and the other half from package, i would still like to know how I would manually get the zlib headers in the future.
[06:48] <CppIsWeird> actually, i spoke too soon. it failed again.
[06:48] <viatech> why is "System>Preferences>Hardware Information" missing in Ubuntu Studio? I've installed it and feel like it's completely different than normal Ubuntu.
[06:48] <RudyValencia> brb
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> CppIsWeird:  In theory the following would Pullin all the needed files -->   sudo apt-get build-dep xen-hypervisor
[06:49] <RudyValencia> CppIsWeird: sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
[06:51] <zver_> which one is the best DE?
[06:51] <zver_> which is better gnome or kde???
[06:52] <Xcalibar> zver: depends on choice :D how old are you ;)
[06:52] <Xcalibar> zver_
[06:52] <soreau> ! best
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> zver_:  try them both. decide for yoruself
[06:53] <viatech> where is the "gnome-device-manager"?
[06:54] <viatech> or is that not installed by default?
[06:54] <vishnu> hello.. i m a absolute begginner. ijus have doubt, y ubuntu is not prone to viruses even when the source codes are avialable..
[06:54] <vishaltelangre> !find gnome-device-manager | viatech
[06:54] <sebsebseb> !virus | vishnu
[06:54] <goddard> I installed a new video card and I want to make sure I have the right drivers installed....It appears as if everything is working great..my old card was Nvidia and my new card is Nvidia and I was using the propritary drivers...thanks
[06:54] <RudyValencia> Dr_Willis: so you suggest I try Broadcom's STA driver?
[06:55] <vishaltelangre> viatech, install it w/ aptitude
[06:55] <vishnu> sebsebseb: thank u
[06:55] <sebsebseb> vishnu: Oh that factoid has changed since I last used it.
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> !info hardinfo
[06:55] <Xcalibar> zver_ , an operating system is an operatinggggg way of operating a system depending on your confidence , i tried all kinds , im in love with Gnome because of flexibility , the rest are flexible but the way Gnome gives flexbility is just simple to my brain analogy , i only use 1 panel with some cool gadgets and a dock that appears as a screenlet whenever i click F4 , so whenever im on a...
[06:55] <Xcalibar> ...fullscreen app and i want to see my favirote applications i click F4 , or mouse gesture mousebutton 3.
[06:55] <viatech> vishaltelangre: what if my network devices are disabled?
[06:55] <kiamo> how do I repair bad sectors on my hard drive?
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> RudyValencia:  try it and see. I just used whatever the Hardware Drivers tool suggested. I recall it having STA and some BM### entry for me. Sta worked.
[06:55] <vishnu> sebsebseb: what is it now?
[06:55] <sebsebseb> vishnu: the message the bot showed you
[06:56] <wildbat> kiamo, you don't repair them ~ to mark them and prevent system form using it
[06:56] <vishnu> sebsebseb: fine
[06:56] <goddard> anyone?
[06:56] <RudyValencia> ah
[06:56] <wildbat> kiamo, man fsck or badblocks
[06:56] <vishnu> sebsebseb:bye
[06:56] <RudyValencia> I seem to have better luck with ndiswrappwe
[06:57] <RudyValencia> * ndiswrapper
[06:57] <nomad77> RudyValencia: try this if you know how to compile an app. works fine on my bcm94311 rev 02 b43 does not
[06:57] <sebsebseb> vishnu: ok bye
[06:57] <vishaltelangre> viatech, no idea! :(
[06:57] <nomad77> RudyValencia: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
[06:57] <RudyValencia> I do know how to compile things
[06:57] <TomG> kiamo: I believe hdparm has an option to repair bad sectors, although they suggest not using it haha
[06:57] <gewt> realtek chipsets are absolutely great.

[06:57] <RudyValencia> but I think I will use ndiswrapper until b43 stops panicking.
[06:57] <kiamo> The smart data thing picks up on them and reallocates them.  Is that good enough?  Or should I still try fsck or badblocks as you say?
[06:58] <vishnu> sebsebseb: i compiled a program in g++.. no errors.. how to viw the output.. plz tell
[06:58] <gewt> wait.
[06:58] <nomad77> RudyValencia: if your kernel updates a major version,will need to rebuild the module
[06:58] <gewt> the windows driver works properly
[06:58] <gewt> maybe ndiswrapper would work.
[06:58] <goddard> I installed a new video card and I want to make sure I have the right drivers installed....It appears as if everything is working great..my old card was Nvidia and my new card is Nvidia and I was using the propritary drivers...thanks
[06:59] <sebsebseb> vishnu: uh you said your new, and already doing stuff like that
[06:59] <sebsebseb> ?
[06:59] <vishnu> sebsebseb,  how to view the output in gcc?
[06:59] <RPG-Master> OK, why when I create a business card for my Avery paper in OpenOffice, there is allot of space on the left but none on the right? My cards end up being cut off.
[06:59] <gewt> goddard: why thank us, we did nothing!
[06:59] <vishnu> sebsebseb,  jus seein how linux rocks...
[06:59] <Xcalibar> RPG-Master you want to reset to defaults in openoffice?
[07:00] <vishnu> sebsebseb,  mind answering it , dude?
[07:00] <Xcalibar> RPG-Master i would check openoffice wiki
[07:00] <RPG-Master> Xcalibar: It can't be the settings, I've tried it both on my laptop and my other computer which I have barely touched
[07:00] <sebsebseb> vishnu: programming help isn't really Ubuntu support.  or do you mean your compiling a program from source?
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> could be wrong default settings...
[07:01] <goddard> gewt its a proactive thanks
[07:01] <gewt> lol
[07:01] <vishnu> sebsebseb, no buddy, how could i all do that when i m a begginner? jus an ordinary beginner program.. anyway thanks.
[07:02] <well_laid_lawn> vishnu: man gcc gives the options for it
[07:02] <vishnu> well_laid_lawn, thank u very much
[07:02] <Sa[i]nT> Is there a program for LED circuit layout for ubuntu?
[07:02] <RudyValencia> ndiswrapper works finr.
[07:02] <RudyValencia> *fine.
[07:02] <goddard> gewt hahahaha
[07:03] <RudyValencia> I'll use it until/unless they fix b43
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> Sa[i]nT:  ages ago there was 'spice' i recall.. but not sure how a LED circuit differes from  electrical circuit
[07:03] <RudyValencia> I wonder if providing kern.log data will help
[07:03] <Sa[i]nT> Dr_Willis: Is there one for elec circuits?
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> RudyValencia:  im not sure theres much work on B43 any more. I thought it got all shifted to the STA driver
[07:03] <RudyValencia> ah
[07:03] <RudyValencia> I
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> Sa[i]nT:  fire up package manager and search. There should be some
[07:04] <RudyValencia> I've blacklisted b43 anyway
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> !info spice
[07:04] <Sa[i]nT> Dr_Willis: I am.
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. perhaps the name is different now.. been years ago
[07:04] <RudyValencia> pspice?
[07:04] <zhobbs___> anyone know what package provides the "kdb" xorg module?
[07:06] <RudyValencia> ah, I'm wrong
[07:06] <RudyValencia> it's called ngspice
[07:06] <RudyValencia> https://electronics.wiki.usu.edu/ngspice_Install <- install guide
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> !info ngspice
[07:06] <RudyValencia> Oops
[07:06] <RudyValencia> rather, https://electronics.wiki.usu.edu/ngspice%20Install
[07:06] <RudyValencia> Oh...
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> RudyValencia:  install -> sudo apt-get install ngspice       :) who needs a guide.
[07:06] <RudyValencia> There we go.
[07:07] <RudyValencia> I didn't know
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> Now actually USING it.. that may need a guide
[07:07] <kiamo> hmm, so is it a bad idea to fsck my root filesystem?
[07:07] <RudyValencia> Why doesn't Ubuntu have Blackjack anymore?
[07:07] <RudyValencia> :(
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  ive often booted a live cd. and fscked my fileystems befor  (when they get badly trashed)
[07:08] <viatech> !network | viatech
[07:09] <Sprunge> Hello all.
[07:10] <kiamo> Dr_Willis, Do filesystems often get trashed?  Iv been trying ubuntu periodicly for the last year and every time my fs gets trashed somehow.  Gets remounted as read only, and I have never successfully repaired it.  :(
[07:10] <kiamo> its rather discouraging :\  but I DO want to use linux instead of windows lol
[07:10] <gewt> man
[07:10] <gewt> ridiculous hacker rap is weird
[07:10] <RudyValencia> btw, I wasn't offered the Broadcom STA driver for my BCM4306 card
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  ive rarely had it happen.
[07:11] <kiamo> Dr_Willis, could it be these bad blocks that are causing it?
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  power outages while doing things is about the only time i have the issue. Or harddrive faulure
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  possibaly
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> Hard drives are the weakest link these days it seems
[07:11] <remanifest> Does anyone know where the default Xubuntu background is located, or what it's called?  I can't find it
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> and they are rather easy to change. :)
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> remanifest:  perhaps  in /usr/share/backgrounds or /usr/share/wallpapers
[07:12] <kiamo> power outages aren't an issue for me, hasn't happened and im on a laptop anyway.  Yea I've wondered about the integrity of my hdd, however it runs perfectly fine in windows.  I don't quite believe windows is doing something better than linux... is that possible? lol
[07:12] <RudyValencia> darn gnome-games programmers removed blackjack from their package
[07:12] <RudyValencia> :(
[07:12] <RudyValencia> I want blackjack, darn it!
[07:12] <remanifest> Dr_Willis: nevermind... found it right after I sent the message
[07:12] <remanifest> thank you
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:   if the hd is partitioned into space for wundoiws and linux. its possiuble the bad part of the HD is  allocated to the linux half.
[07:13] <Sprunge> So I screwed up installing GRUB2 during my Lucid update. Guess I should have just done a fresh install.
[07:13] <kiamo> it is
[07:13] <mobius2> I have blackjack
[07:13] <RudyValencia> oh?
[07:13] <mobius2> i think it comes installed?
[07:13] <RudyValencia> in lucid?
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  one of the best upgrades i did for my laptop was upgrading its HD to a faster/bigger one.. well worth the effort.
[07:13] <remanifest> Xubuntu's running great on my nb205
[07:13] <mobius2> ahhhh im just getting back in here
[07:13] <mobius2> sorry
[07:13] <RudyValencia> gnome-games doesn't install blackjack
[07:13] <RudyValencia> they removed it.
[07:13] <kiamo> however, i was using the current linux partition in windows fine too.  Although it wasn't a root partition
[07:14] <RudyValencia> I want to find a blackjack game and I don't want to play on a site like bodog
[07:14] <wildbat> kiamo, you can do a full rw scan of your hd with badblocks thou if you want.
[07:14] <mobius2> has anyone gotten one of those infra red metal webcams to work in linux?
[07:14] <mobius2> has six little IR sensors on em
[07:14] <mobius2> fine little cam
[07:14] <kiamo> the badblocks man page suggest not running badblocks, and instead running fsck though...?
[07:14] <mobius2> ill prolly have to install frikkin vmware to get it working
[07:14] <RudyValencia> oh I found something
[07:15] <RudyValencia> http://sourceforge.net/projects/ultimate-21/
[07:15] <mobius2> wewt
[07:15] <mobius2> there ya go
[07:15] <mobius2> i like my little blackjack game
[07:15] <mobius2> I think i finally got out of debt
[07:15] <wildbat> kiamo, also update the hd firmware if it have one ~ manufacture doing lousy job on firmware nowadays that can crash systems and even data lost
[07:15] <mobius2> i was down BAD
[07:15] <mobius2> for the longest
[07:16] <mobius2> then one night i got drunk nad started making crazy bets
[07:16] <Sprunge> On boot I have a single entry for Win7 that starts a different GRUB2 install which has all the normal options, yet its Win7 simply references itself apparently. So I can only boot into Ubuntu, and only by going through two GRUB2 installs. Anyone care to touch this one? Heheheh
[07:16] <mobius2> now i have almost a half a mil
[07:16] <kiamo> wildbat,  ooo good call.  Didn't think of that
[07:16] <mobius2> well its midnight fifteen in colorado
[07:16] <mobius2> good night people
[07:16] <mobius2> good luck
[07:16] <RudyValencia> mobius2: hey
[07:16] <RudyValencia> you're in CO too?
[07:16] <RudyValencia> :D
[07:16] <mobius2> indeed
[07:17] <RudyValencia> cool
[07:17] <mobius2> Fort Collins
[07:17] <RudyValencia> I'm in greeley
[07:17] <mobius2> oh wow
[07:17] <RudyValencia> close by!
[07:17] <mobius2> what are the fucking odds of that
[07:17] <dan14> is there any good reason to move from heron to lynx?
[07:17] <Jordan_U> Sprunge: Can you pastebin the output from this script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ ?
[07:17] <mobius2> woops
[07:17] <RudyValencia> mobius2: one in a million?
[07:17] <mobius2> well thats my night :D
[07:17] <RudyValencia> pm me real quick
[07:17] <mobius2> kk
[07:17] <sebsebseb> I found a guy once from here, that lived near me
[07:18] <karmst> Hello
[07:18] <karmst> Anyone around?
[07:18] <sebsebseb> karmst: yes
[07:18] <wildbat> karmst,  nope ~ ^^
[07:18] <karmst> So I have a question hopefull someone can help me with
[07:19] <karmst> What is the fastest file system to use for Karmic?
[07:19] <Jordan_U> Sprunge: And also the output of "debconf-show grub-pc".
[07:19] <SwedeMike> karmst: fastest for what?
[07:19] <FyreFoX> anyone familiar with luks?
[07:19] <goddard> whats the easiest way to monitor system temp
[07:19] <karmst> in reads and writes
[07:19] <SwedeMike> FyreFoX: yes.
[07:19] <rww> !lmsensors
[07:19] <FyreFoX> SwedeMike: if I don cryptsetup luksClose a device and the machine gets powered off uncleanly...
[07:20] <SwedeMike> karmst: duh, that's like answering "what is the best car?" -"for what" -"for rolling forward with"
[07:20] <karmst> basically to build a NFS server with
[07:21] <karmst> to store backupexec disk backups
[07:21] <SwedeMike> FyreFoX: was that a question?
[07:21] <SwedeMike> karmst: I personally prefer xfs for such usage.
[07:22] <FyreFoX> SwedeMike: Ok I have a luks setup using cryptsetup on a second disk right, I am wondering what the ramifications of not issuing a cryptsetup luksClose device and having the power go out, what state is that device in when I power back on ?
[07:22] <SwedeMike> FyreFoX: I've never had any problems, luksClose is as far as I know only to free the device from the OS point of view, it doesn't really write anything to the luks header.
[07:22] <FyreFoX> SwedeMike: is it locked or unlocked? potential corruption? loss of data?
[07:22] <goddard> is 31 C good for cpu?
[07:23] <dartt> there is sudden visual tearing of my display....nyone know wats hppenig...i got intel 965 series
[07:23] <SwedeMike> FyreFoX: from luks point of view, there shouldn't be any problems.
[07:23] <FyreFoX> SwedeMike: Ok, I suspected as much
[07:23] <Sprunge> Jordan_U: Here's the debconf output: http://pastebin.com/zSXU0UA0
[07:23] <SwedeMike> goddard: good for what? it's low and nice for normal operating temperature.
[07:23] <FyreFoX> SwedeMike: thanks
[07:23] <karmst> so xfs is faster the ext4
[07:23] <karmst> ?
[07:23] <karmst> than*
[07:24] <SwedeMike> karmst: again, you have to quantify what you need it for. there is no such thing as a "fs best at everything"
[07:24] <Docteh_> karmst: that probably depends on whats on the filesystem
[07:24] <karmst> well for backup and restore
[07:24] <SwedeMike> karmst: for nfs server reads and writes of large files, there isn't really any difference afaik
[07:24] <Docteh_> karmst: ext4 would be better for large files
[07:24] <FyreFoX> karmst: depends what you need it for.. ie type of setup raid, type of files big small etc etc
[07:24] <karmst> I want something that for DR will require the least amount of time for restore
[07:24] <goddard> SwedeMike I just cleaned my system of all the dust that was in it and put some new thermal paste on the CPU wanna make sure everything is working correctly
[07:24] <goddard> Also installed a new fan
[07:25] <SwedeMike> goddard: your cpu can go to 50-60 C before you really have to worry, 31C is excellent for running system.
[07:25] <Docteh_> karmst: fastest to restore one file or all files?
[07:25] <karmst> all files
[07:26] <SwedeMike> karmst: you need a few hundred megabits/s right, then all fs should work properly.
[07:26] <dartt> there is sudden visual tearing of my display....nyone know wats hppening...i got intel 965 series
[07:26] <Jordan_U> Sprunge: You should install grub to the mbr, and never to a partition. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to get that setting correct.
[07:26] <SwedeMike> dartt: don't repeat your question without adding more information, in the last 3 minutes there really won't be anyone new who knows anything, so most likely you're not providing enough information.
[07:27] <SwedeMike> Jordan_U: there are times where you want grub on a partition, so please don't use "never" in that context.
[07:27] <Jordan_U> Sprunge: You will be asked other questions, leave them at their defaults (some will be blank, that's OK).
[07:27] <Docteh_> karmst: if you're using slow disks for backups, compressed tarballs on ext4
[07:27] <Jordan_U> SwedeMike: Very rarely is it ever the best solution.
[07:27] <Docteh_> i'd recommend trying a few ideas out though
[07:28] <SwedeMike> Jordan_U: "best" is subjective. it's not common to do it, but there are prefectly valid scenarios to do it.
[07:28] <Sprunge> Ok, yeah the message box during the Lucid update had me clueless. I recommended installing grub to every partition if I wasn't sure what I needed. So I just chose What I thought was the MBR. *shrug*
[07:29] <zver_> how do i ssh to windows machine?
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> zver_:  install a ssh server on the windows machine...
[07:29] <Jordan_U> SwedeMike: It's unreliable to install a bootloader to a partition because it requires blocklists, and I can only think of one good use case for installing grub to a partition.
[07:30] <foxmulder> zver_: putty is all you need.
[07:30] <SwedeMike> Jordan_U: chain loading is perfectly good use case.
[07:30] <j0rd> i'm connecting to internet via WiFi on my laptop, can i share my internet to other computers via WiFi as well with just one wireless card?
[07:30] <kiamo> During startup, ubuntu doesn't ask me which OS to boot.  How do I enable that and add my windows partition to the list?
[07:30] <j0rd> or am i full of crazy
[07:30] <SwedeMike> j0rd: you can share it via another wifi card, yes.
[07:30] <zver_> thanks | Dr_Willis
[07:30] <Jordan_U> SwedeMike: What is the use case for chainloading grub from a partition?
[07:30] <j0rd> SwedeMike: can i share it using the same wifi card?
[07:31] <foxmulder> zver_: I run WinSSHD on my Windows server and use putty to connect/manage from Linux.
[07:31] <Sprunge> Jordan_U: Hmm, the very first step asks me to verify a command line extracted from /etc/default/grub but it's just blank.
[07:31] <SwedeMike> j0rd: not easily.
[07:31] <zver_> what about telnet | Dr_Willis
[07:31] <j0rd> SwedeMike: that sounds like yes :) I assume i can createa a virtual interface or something?
[07:31] <SwedeMike> Jordan_U: to havle multiple installs completely separated from each other, so you load install2's grub from install1's grub.
[07:31] <Jordan_U> Sprunge: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector to get windows booting again.
[07:32] <SwedeMike> j0rd: I'm not touching that with a 100 foot pole. yes it can be done, no, I'm not going to help you.
[07:32] <Sprunge> Awesome, thanks.
[07:32] <Jordan_U> Sprunge: That is normal.
[07:32] <j0rd> SwedeMike: if you have any howtos I'll take a read. or some useful keywords for me to search on google it would be appreciated
[07:32] <j0rd> SwedeMike: ok thx
[07:32] <Sam_Fisher> Why does Grub suck so bad when it breaks?
[07:32] <Sam_Fisher> Howdy Ya'll!
[07:32] <SwedeMike> j0rd: look for masquerading, that's the term used in linux for NAT.
[07:32] <Jordan_U> SwedeMike: A more reliable way to load grub2 in that case is to use "multiboot /boot/grub/core.img"
[07:32] <Docteh_> Sam_Fisher: mbr's are tiny is why
[07:32] <zver_> i tryed telnet it says `Connection refused` who refused? | Dr_Willis
[07:32] <j0rd> SwedeMike: ok
[07:33] <Docteh_> zver_: the other computer
[07:33] <Sam_Fisher> Docteh_: the area for memory?
[07:33] <foxmulder> zver_: Don't use telnet.
[07:33] <Jordan_U> SwedeMike: Or rather, since you are talking about loading from grub legacy "kernel /boot/grub/core.img"
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> zver_:  You installed what ssh server to the  wineows machine?
[07:33] <aditsu_> hi, how can I install adobe flash 64bit in firefox in ubuntu?
[07:33] <SwedeMike> Jordan_U: oki, I don't remember grub having that, so if grub2 has a better way, then that use case might be gone.
[07:33] <SwedeMike> Jordan_U: I'm from the lilo days of mid 90ties :P
[07:33] <kiamo> aditsu_, install the ubuntu restricted extras
[07:33] <kiamo> I think.  that's what I am doing at the moment
[07:33] <kiamo> :D
[07:34] <aditsu_> kiamo: how do I do that?
[07:34] <loopool> When i run 'sudo apt-get update' in the terminal, it does everything normally and 'hits' everything, but at the end it says 'W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5'
[07:34] <kiamo> search for "restricted" in the ubuntu software center.  It should come up among some other stuff
[07:34] <Jordan_U> SwedeMike: Correct, grub legacy can't be loaded via multiboot, so it does sometimes make sense to install grub legacy to a partition.
[07:34] <loopool> how do i fix this?
[07:34] <Docteh_> Sam_Fisher: first stage is ~400 bytes, which is enough to point somewhere but not enough to go looking for it if it moves
[07:35] <kiamo> it installs support for various video codecs, mp3, flash, java and other stuff
[07:35] <uchigo46373> i need help!!!
[07:35] <SwedeMike> loopool: try googling for the error message, I'm sure you'll find hints on how to solve it.
[07:35] <SwedeMike> !ask | uchigo46373
[07:35] <uchigo46373> i need a driver for a sony bd player
[07:35] <zver_> no have't, i cant access it | Dr_Willis
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> loopool:  you dident install a 'key' for some repo you have. thats just a warning i recall. not critical
[07:35] <uchigo46373> on my laptop
[07:36] <uchigo46373> for verson 10.4 desktop
[07:36] <aditsu_> kiamo: that seems to pull in zillions of things
[07:36] <insaneNess> Hi, I want to partition my hard drive so I can install Ubuntu side-by-side with Windows 7, and I have 150GB of free secondary memory. If I'm going to use Ubuntu for light use (creating documents, not media manipulation), how much should I give the Ubuntu partition?
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> zver_:  then you are out of luck I guess. unless you can go physically to the windiows box or some how remote in to install some services
[07:36] <SwedeMike> uchigo46373: what part of "in one line" was hard to understand?
[07:36] <Sprunge> Jordan_U: So /dev/sda rather than /dev/sda# will install it to the MBR, correct?
[07:36] <foxmulder> zver_: You'll have to setup a ssh daemon/server on the windows system before you'll be able to connect to it.
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> insaneNess:  10-20gb is Plenty for many people i find.
[07:36] <Jordan_U> Sprunge: Yes.
[07:36] <uchigo46373> sory
[07:36] <kiamo> aditsu_, it does, but on my screen ubuntu restricted extras is 4rth down the list
[07:36] <foxmulder> zver_: What about rdp?
[07:37] <mariya> !package gnome
[07:37] <insaneNess> Dr_Willis: ok, thank you so much
[07:37] <Sam_Fisher> insaneNess: 149gb
[07:37] <Sam_Fisher> insaneNess: ok maybe a little less. I use 25gb and have room to spare.
[07:38] <Sam_Fisher> insaneNess: I don't use a swap file area eaither cause I rool like that!
[07:38] <mariya> what is a command to reinstall a gnome desktop?
[07:38] <uchigo46373> what i need is drivers for a sony optiarc bd rom 5500s
[07:38] <Sam_Fisher> opps misspelling roll is not kool
[07:39] <ZonkieNut> insaneNess: Normal Ubuntu installation only took up about 3.4G on my system
[07:39] <zver_> ok, i got it first i need sneak some remote control app into winbox | Dr_Willis
[07:39] <Sam_Fisher> Docteh_: any experience with CDLinux? They say they can't build a reliable partition installer!
[07:39] <insaneNess> Sam_Fisher: I'm not comfortable with much anyway, I'm not very good with manipulating things
[07:40] <loopool> i fixed it, i just needed to download the keys from the error :)
[07:40] <foxmulder> uchigo46373: Perhaps you'll have better luck on the UbuntuForums.org instead of trolling in here. <rolls eyes>
[07:40] <insaneNess> ZonkieNut: Ok, thanks
[07:40] <mneptok> insaneNess: is this a desktop or laptop?
[07:40] <Docteh_> Sam_Fisher: first i've heard about "cdlinux"
[07:40] <insaneNess> mneptok: laptop
[07:40] <sebsebseb> mariya: Don't think there is one, whats the problem?
[07:40] <loopool> my other problem is i cant connect to my wireless network. My wireless driver is working fine; it can pick the signal up okay, it just won't let me connect. Is there a way I can manually do this in the terminal? I get no error message, it just fails.
[07:40] <uchigo46373> thanks dick
[07:40] <mneptok> insaneNess: do you want to be able to suspend or hibernate?
[07:40] <Sam_Fisher> mariya: hello friend how are things?
[07:40] <Docteh_> Sam_Fisher: extlinux might be hardier than grub
[07:41] <insaneNess> mneptok: Yes
[07:41] <mneptok> insaneNess: then you should create a swap partition of 2x the physical RAM
[07:41] <foxmulder> uchigo46373: You're welcome.
[07:41] <Blue1> i use 1.5
[07:41] <Sam_Fisher> mariya: What did you do to your desktop?
[07:42] <sebsebseb> foxmulder: already left
[07:42] <Blue1> but then otoh if it's gotta swap 2 g of ram, you're in trouble anyway
[07:42] <Docteh_> loopool: if you're using wpa the wpa supplicant handles associations and encryption, otherwise fiddle with iwconfig
[07:42] <mariya> sebsebseb, gnome does not start normally, all I see is an empty background without pannels, here is a xsession-errors file http://pastebin.com/fzf3HWuF
[07:42] <mneptok> Blue1: not when suspending or hibernating.
[07:42] <foxmulder> sebsebseb: Great. It worked.
[07:42] <mneptok> Blue1: during those time everything in physical memory is dumpoed to swap
[07:42] <Blue1> mneptok: i never do that.
[07:43] <insaneNess> mneptok: I'm not sure how to do that, would it be ok to leave out suspending/hibernating?
[07:43] <Docteh_> I have zero swap :-/
[07:43] <mneptok> insaneNess: sure.
[07:43] <loopool> Docteh_: im using WEP
[07:43] <Sam_Fisher> Zero swap rules!
[07:43] <mneptok> insaneNess: 15GB as a primary Linux system partition is probably enough for light work.
[07:43] <Blue1> Sam_Fisher: indeed
[07:43] <mneptok> Sam_Fisher: not on laptops it doesn't.
[07:43] <sebsebseb> mariya: That doesn't mean much to me.  Which version of Ubuntu?  Clean install or upgrade
[07:44] <Blue1> mneptok: my netbook has 2 g and zero swap
[07:44] <SwedeMike> I'm only using 5 gigs on my laptop, 15 gigs for / should be plenty.
[07:44] <Docteh_> loopool: disable networkmanager or wicd before you start fiddling with iwconfig. I have a cheapo access point that needs to get reset occasionally
[07:44] <Sam_Fisher> I have a 2 TB drive so what do I care? I used to partition 150GB X 4
[07:45] <SteveThing> can someone help me with mediatomb?
[07:45] <insaneNess> mneptok: Thanks, how might I create a swap partition?
[07:45] <mariya> sebsebseb, clean install, 10.04
[07:45] <loopool> Docteh_: i have no idea what iwconfig is - is that where I should be to fix the connection problem? It was working fine on Jaunty
[07:46] <mneptok> insaneNess: it's aprt of the installation procedure. create a partition, choose to use it as swap space.
[07:46] <Blue1> insaneNess: gparted
[07:46] <mariya> sebsebseb, what is the output of your: ls -l /home by the way?
[07:46] <wildbat> !swap
[07:46] <Docteh_> loopool: iwconfig is the cli tool that changes wireless settings, like the essid it should connect to/ the mode / wep key
[07:46] <Blue1> swap on/swap off reminds me of the clapper
[07:46] <Inzi1985> hello everyone
[07:47] <sebsebseb> mariya: on this computer,  I only have Ubuntu in vm, since another distro
[07:47] <Docteh_> loopool: so you could manually give the wireless card settings and see if that helps :-/
[07:47] <insaneNess> mneptok,Blue1: Thanks, would I have to create two partitions then, or will it do this in the installer?
[07:47] <Sam_Fisher> Blue1: lol
[07:47] <sebsebseb> mariya: anyway so the panels never showed properly?
[07:47] <Inzi1985> does anyone know if ubuntu supports the intel x3100 graphic card natively
[07:47] <Docteh_> mariya: network install or from the livecd
[07:47] <Sam_Fisher> Inzi1985: no we don't
[07:47] <Inzi1985> or are there proprietary drivers that need to be installed
[07:47] <SwedeMike> Inzi1985: define "natively" ?
[07:47] <Blue1> insaneNess: if you are installing linux from say the live cd there should be an option to do that - but honestly don't remember
[07:48] <kmyst> anyone use nm-applet to create an ad-hoc wireless network?  mine keeps failing...used to work back it gutsy which is when i used/needed it last
[07:48] <Sam_Fisher> Inzi1985: have you tried it yet?
[07:48] <Inzi1985> Swedemike : i belive the vga on my laptop is over heating, i have a compaq 610
[07:48] <SteveThing> i'm having some trouble getting mediatomb to start on login, can someone help me out?
[07:48] <Blue1> kmyst: what do yo mean by adhoc wireless?
[07:49] <mariya> Docteh_, why does this matter, from a livecd
[07:49] <SwedeMike> Inzi1985: what does that have to do with whether ubuntu supports it "natively" or not?
[07:49] <Sam_Fisher> Docteh_: In CDlinux they have a nice wifi program oh I mean APP that is very visual and I want it on my 10.04 what is the best wifi tool?
[07:49] <hikari> Inzi1985, have you tried the laptop-mode-tools ?
[07:49] <sebsebseb> mariya: remove the GNome .folders from home,  when in something else such as KDE,  then re install Gnome, that might work
[07:49] <Inzi1985> Sam_fisher : yes i did install ubuntu on my compaq 610, i had no problem with cpu overheating issues, coz that was the general complain, instead the area under my left wrist seem to heat up alot, and on windows 7, its ice cold
[07:49] <sebsebseb> !purekde | mariya
[07:49] <Sam_Fisher> SteveThing: dump MT
[07:49] <kmyst> Blue1: adhoc wireless is two wireless devices (i.e. laptops) in a sort of peer to peer mode
[07:49] <Inzi1985> hikari : how do i work with the laptop-mode-tools
[07:49] <mariya> sebsebseb, no, it was working well, since I have restarted after an update two day ago
[07:50] <kmyst> Blue1: no wireless router needed...if that makes sense
[07:50] <Sam_Fisher> SteveThing: Get PS3Mediaserver and don't look back!
[07:50] <insaneNess> Blue1: ok, cool - I'll see how I go installing Ubuntu, then...thanks, everyone!
[07:50] <sebsebseb> mariya: ok so the panels won't show is that the only issue or?
[07:50] <SwedeMike> Inzi1985: could be that it's running the cpu at full speed, not lowering the clock when cpu is idle?
[07:50] <mariya> !puregnome
[07:50] <Blue1> kmyst okay I don't have anything like that
[07:50] <Blue1> mariya: there's no place, like gnome!
[07:50] <jimmyz80> Heya, having a problem. just installed Gentoo alongside Ubuntu, and after i run update-grub, it seems ok, but gentoo is not present in the grub list of OS's when I reboot http://pastebin.com/052whtB0 Anyone have any suggestions?
[07:50] <SteveThing> Sam_Fisher: any particular reason?
[07:51] <Inzi1985> SwedeMike: but the fan isn't running all the time,.. cpu idles at 43 degrees, wheni run sensors
[07:51] <hikari> Inzi1985, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Laptop-mode-tools
[07:51] <kmyst> Blue1: well it is occasionally useful...just left click nm-applet and create wireless network....well that used to work, seems broken now
[07:51] <codeabit> my gnome just crashed.  I re-logged back in.  can anyone tell me the best way to gather information so I can report a bug?
[07:51] <SwedeMike> Inzi1985: then I have no idea.
[07:51] <Docteh_> 43 at the cpu isn't too bad
[07:52] <Blue1> kmyst: I have a wireless router -- i am running dd-wrt
[07:52] <mariya> sebsebseb, all I see a clean background, and nothing more, that is the issue
[07:52] <Inzi1985> Docteh_ : i know.. my cpu is fine, but the region left of the touchpad heats up alot,.. but on win7 it is cold
[07:53] <Inzi1985> SwedeMike : thanks dude
[07:53] <sebsebseb> mariya: well I guess do what I suggested before try and install something else, and then remove gnome .folders from home and that.
[07:53] <sebsebseb> mariya: or just clean install?
[07:53] <Inzi1985> hikari : thanks, i shall check it out soon
[07:53] <kmyst> Blue1: same here...but i was in a situation where no router was present and wanted to wireless network with another computer which is what adhoc is...used to work once upon a time :)
[07:54] <Docteh_> SwedeMike: set the cpu scheduler to uh, take a look what it has and try conservative maybe
[07:54] <sebsebseb> mariya: does the log in screen show?
[07:54] <Blue1> not fam with that
[07:54] <Docteh_> ....
[07:54] <Docteh_> i did that wrong
[07:54] <mariya> sebsebseb, I use autologin
[07:54] <sebsebseb> mariya: ah
[07:55] <sebsebseb> mariya: and you can't even get to the terminal and such anyway?
[07:55] <Inzi1985> Swedemike : do u think i should try and older version of ubuntu
[07:55] <Sprunge> Jordan_U: Ok, I'm in testdisk attempting to fix the Win7 boot sector now and that page says to select "BackupBS", but the closest option to that is "Rebuild BS". The other options are "Quit", "List", "Repair MFT", and "Dump". Should I rebuild it?
[07:55] <geekyogi> am using Ubuntu 10.04 on Intel i7 860 processor.. I wanna monitor the temperature of the cpu and disks..  lm-sensor doesn't detect the sensors.. any idea which kernel module or package will help me...
[07:55] <SwedeMike> Inzi1985: if you decide to, don't try older than 9.10 anyway, because then you'll run out of support soon, and you should also report it as a problem in case 9.10 works better.
[07:55] <sebsebseb> mariya: why not clean install,  obviously something has gone pretty wrong
[07:56] <sebsebseb> mariya: if you got data on there, you can access it using the Live CD, and then back up and such
[07:56] <Inzi1985> Swedemike : intel x3100 is actually this Intel GL960/GM965, do i need to install any drivers?
[07:56] <SwedeMike> geekyogi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto perhaps?
[07:56] <SwedeMike> Inzi1985: I don't know, didn't have to do anthing special with my intel 4500.
[07:57] <sebsebseb> SwedeMike: Inzi1985  well 8.04 has untill the end of April next year on the desktop
[07:57] <geekyogi> swedemike: will try
[07:57] <Docteh_> Inzi1985: see if glmatrix screen saver works is easiest test i think
[07:57] <mariya> sebsebseb, it's too complicated, and there is no guaranty, that this will not happen again, so what is the point of doing so?
[07:57] <Inzi1985> Docteh_ : it works.. no problems.. its just the heat issue i'm worried about
[07:58] <purvesh> i want to resize my image exact Pixels any Software for that in Ubuntu ?
[07:58] <sebsebseb> mariya: right, but my other idea that I am thinking at the moment, may not work either
[07:58] <bazhang> purvesh, clone?
[07:58] <Sprunge> Jordan_U: Ah, I think I found it. *crosses fingers*
[07:58] <shadyabhi> I have an NTFS partition... When I run "df" (disk free coammand), its hows as space occupied.. But. the directory which had the ost contents is empty.. Its like directory entry is deleted.. There is a "GetDataBack for NTFS" software for windows, whats the quiivalent for linux?
[07:58] <SwedeMike> purvesh: gimp is a good image editor.
[07:58] <Inzi1985> SwedeMike: i shall try and 9.10, and 8.04.. if they work properly.... i'll lodgein a complain to ubuntu
[07:59] <sebsebseb> mariya: the point is so you have a system that probably works
[07:59] <purvesh> SwedeMike, hey but it will not resize exact pixels
[07:59] <sebsebseb> mariya: updates don't normally do that kind of thing though
[07:59] <Inzi1985> SwedeMike ; Now i have to go look for my cd..
[07:59] <sebsebseb> mariya: so something else probably caused it
[07:59] <jacob_> Does anyone know of any better music players than Rhythmbox for Linux, or does anyone know of a way to actually be able to customize Rhythmbox, e.g. be able to move the status bar to the top?
[07:59] <SwedeMike> purvesh: no? It resizes by pixel count when I last tried anyway.
[07:59] <Inzi1985> SwedeMike :  i'm not a very technical person.. ahah.. so i'm quite a newbie with ubuntu
[08:00] <sebsebseb> mariya: maybe you installed a graphics card driver quite recently for example,  and something went wrong with that
[08:00] <SwedeMike> jacob_: I use audacious for playing mp3:s
[08:00] <purvesh> SwedeMike, u can try now i had tried
[08:00] <SteveThing> can someone help me with mediatomb?
[08:00] <Sereph> I don't havge the little speaker icon anymore in the top right, how can I get it back?
[08:00] <SwedeMike> purvesh: I tried yesterday and it could resize by pixel count then anyway. It could do that all the times I tried the past 5 years as well.
[08:00] <musexu> what is it
[08:01] <celeritas> Sereph, try running alsamixer in your terminal
[08:01] <mariya> sebsebseb, no, I can get a working gnome manually, by running from a tty DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-panel, nautilus and so on...
[08:01] <Inzi1985> Thanks guys for all ur help.. im gonna go install and try it out now..
[08:01] <Inzi1985> catch u soon..
[08:01] <musexu> it's my first time enter the software
[08:01] <Inzi1985> cheers
[08:01] <bazhang> !hi | musexu
[08:01] <sebsebseb> musexu: you can  use tty for some commands,  or recovery mode from the boot loader
[08:01] <purvesh> SwedeMike, i had said it resize by pixel but i want exact pixel like 192 x 192 that it cant......! :)
[08:02] <musexu> are all your guys Chinese?
[08:02] <celeritas> Sereph, it won't give you the icon back but if alsamixer fails, then there may be a problem with your drivers rather than your interface
[08:02] <sebsebseb> mariya: silly auto complete, see above :)
[08:02] <Sereph> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[08:02] <purvesh> bazhang, hey clone can resize image exactly like 192 x 192 Pixels ?
[08:02] <bazhang> !cn | musexu
[08:02] <mariya> sebsebseb, sorry?
[08:02] <SwedeMike> purvesh: I don't see why not, or you don't actually mean "resize" and mean something else.
[08:02] <sebsebseb> mariya: I just messaged wrong person
[08:02] <bazhang> musexu, /join #ubuntu-cn
[08:03] <celeritas> Sereph, try sudo alsamixer
[08:03] <Sereph> no luck
[08:03] <musexu> how to join ubuntu-cn?
[08:03] <Guest56720> wht is it ?
[08:03] <purvesh> SwedeMike, its k bro......! but i had used word exact ... anyways .. Thanx bro for info. i ll take care of my words
[08:04] <bazhang> musexu, /join #ubuntu-cn    <----type that
[08:04] <celeritas> Sereph, its failing because you don't have access to the file
[08:04] <Sprunge> Hmm, os-prober outputs "/dev/sda1:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain". Should ":chain" be there?
[08:04] <Sereph> celeritas: I used sudo
[08:04] <celeritas> Sereph, are you a member of the audio group?
[08:04] <musexu> how to join ubuntu-cn?
[08:04] <bazhang> musexu, I just told you
[08:04] <winston84> hello
[08:04] <bazhang> musexu, /join #ubuntu-cn
[08:04] <purvesh> winston84, hi
[08:05] <purvesh> bazhang, hey clone can resize image exactly like 192 x 192 Pixels ?
[08:05] <bazhang> purvesh, you are using GIMP? something other? what have you tried?
[08:06] <sebsebseb> mariya: delete the Gome programs and  .folders in home for Gnome, and then re install and it may work.  Can't do that whilst Gnome is running in your install though,  so would have to use another desktop environment such as KDE if that will work without the same problem,  or  a Live CD.  Or recovery mode.  Probably easier and better to clean install.
[08:06] <SwedeMike> purvesh: I just scaled an image to 192x192 pixels in gimp.
[08:06] <celeritas> Sereph, take a look at your /etc/group and make sure you are a member of the audio group
[08:06] <Sereph> celeritas: how would that make a difference if i use sudo
[08:06] <purvesh> bazhang, i had used gThumb and Gwenview
[08:07] <mariya> sebsebseb, omg, are you crazy !?! I do not want to break my system? have you ever tried something like this?
[08:07] <purvesh> SwedeMike, k .... but what is the Procedure can u tell me .....!
[08:07] <SwedeMike> purvesh: imagemagick can do it from the command line.
[08:07] <celeritas> Sereph, did sudo give you the same error? snd_ctl_open failed?
[08:07] <sebsebseb> mariya: uh your system is already broken by the sounds of it
[08:07] <sebsebseb> mariya: and yes if I remember correctly I have tried something like this in the past myself
[08:08] <SwedeMike> purvesh: you go to image->scale image, then you enter the amount of pixels you want there, and press scale (undo the "chain" if you dont want to keep aspect ratio)
[08:08] <purvesh> SwedeMike, so for installing imagemagick i have to type any cmd..
[08:09] <sebsebseb> mariya: or I got another idea
[08:09] <Sereph> celeritas: yes...
[08:09] <sebsebseb> mariya: make a new user in recovery mode or   something, and try and log in to that
[08:09] <FullFlannelJacke> Trying to open Openoffice Word and am getting an error that "/home/username/%F does not exist."  Is this some problem with Gconf?  how do i fix it?
[08:09] <Sprunge> Ok, time to reboot. Here goes nothing....
[08:09] <celeritas> try sudo chmod 666 /dev/snd
[08:09] <cjae> does anyone else notice adobe flash is quite mem and cpu intensive in ff as of 10.04?
[08:09] <Sereph> celeritas: dont have a /dev/snd
[08:10] <SwedeMike> cjae: it's always mem and cpu intensive.
[08:10] <aditsu_> kiamo: I installed the restricted extras; still no adobe flash
[08:10] <owenll> purvesh: sudo apt-get install imagemagick
[08:10] <cjae> SwedeMike: is there a good replacement yet?
[08:10] <cjae> gnash
[08:10] <SwedeMike> cjae: not that I know of, last I tried gnash it didn't work well.
[08:11] <purvesh> SwedeMike, Hey Thanx for that Chain.. lol .. Finally done .
[08:13] <SwedeMike> purvesh: just a tip for you, you really should work on your "asking questions" skill, if it was the aspect ratio you didn't succeed in not keeping, saying so would have cut this conversation down by a lot.
[08:13] <cjae> SwedeMike: I am running an old p4 machine with a 1gb of ram, and since 10.04 I can barely watch youtube and download ubuntu at same time
[08:13] <SwedeMike> purvesh: saying "it won't resize to 192x192 but instead I can only choose one figure and it calculates the other" would also have worked.
[08:13] <cjae> via torrent
[08:13] <cjae> using kde though
[08:14] <cjae> :(
[08:15] <purvesh> SwedeMike, see m bit noob may be .... but every one Starts from there so shortly i ll reach at some level
[08:15] <atroy1994> Hello everybody..  for installing ubuntu, ineed atleast 256 mb ram, but i hav only 246. so, i want to do swapping. how will i do?
[08:16] <jacob_> SwedeMike, how do I get rid of the numbering on the far left?
[08:16] <jacob_> Not the track numbering, but the # for each song..
[08:16] <jacob_> I don't want that there
[08:16] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok yeah swap
[08:17] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: have you tried desktop cd on there?
[08:17] <martez89> hey all, how can I backup my home folder from a 10.04 live cd  to an external hdd?
[08:17] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: for Ubuntu
[08:17] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: which one u call the dekstop cd?
[08:18] <SwedeMike> jacob_: I have absolutely no idea. read the manual?
[08:18] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: are you sure you have a bit under the amount of RAM it says you should have?
[08:18] <jellow> martez89: mount the external hd , and move the files from $HOME to the hd ?
[08:18] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: the Desktop Live CD
[08:18] <martez89> jellow: ive tried that, but i need permissions
[08:19] <atroy1994> atroy1994: yes, iam sure about ram.
[08:19] <celeritas> Sereph, does lspci show your card?
[08:19] <martez89> but i don't know the right sudo commands for that
[08:19] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok messaged yourself
[08:19] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: i hav the liv cd
[08:19] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: have you downloaded an Ubuntu ISO yet? no?
[08:19] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok have you treid booting the Live CD?
[08:19] <Sereph> celeritas: its an oss problem apparantly, i tried oss and it blacklisted alsa
[08:19] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: oh, sorry.  that was a mistake :-)
[08:20] <atroy1994> what is ubuntu ISO? i hav just ordered the ubuntu10.04 cd and got it
[08:20] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok
[08:20] <jellow> martez89: you need to use chmod -R 777 "Director You want Permission on"
[08:21] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ISO is  what you download when you make your own,  the contents of a CD in a file, then burn contents to CD,  (ideally check its a good download ISO first as well)
[08:21] <celeritas> Sereph, have you tried running the snddevices script
[08:21] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: have you tried to boot from the CD  you ordered?
[08:21] <Sereph> celeritas: nope
[08:21] <jellow> martez89: sudo chmod -R 777 "Some dir"
[08:21] <atroy1994> How ill i boot fom cd? sebsebseb
[08:22] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: you were asking about RAM,  so  I thought that maybe you had tried from the CD,  and  things  were really slow to boot up or somethign
[08:22] <Jordan_U> atroy1994: Usually you just reboot with the CD in your CDROM drive.
[08:22] <martez89> jellow: ill try that
[08:23] <celeritas> Sereph, the script builds the device list in /dev/snd. its inside alsa-drivers
[08:23] <atroy1994> do u mean, just starting computer, inserting cd, and again restarting?
[08:23] <jellow> martez89: You can get to irc from the live cd so ask for help as you're doing it
[08:23] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: yes
[08:23] <Haagimus> ping
[08:23] <martez89> jellow: i'm on another laptop currently
[08:23] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: might have to go into bios  and make it boot from CD first though.
[08:24] <ZonkieNut> atroy1994: if "boot from cd" is enabled in bios
[08:24] <Sprunge> Jordan_U: Hey thanks for all the help. Everything seems to be exactly as it should now. I'm on Win7 right now as a matter of fact. :-)
[08:24] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: the next time i restart what will happen?
[08:24] <anodesni> I cant install ubuntu. I have 80gb space between windows and archlinux partitions left, however, the arch partitions are not an extended partition and I cant make one in the 80gb space. Can I convert the arch partitions into an extended partition??
[08:24] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: lets go back to that
[08:24] <sebsebseb> anodesni: why were you asking about RAM?
[08:24] <Jordan_U> Sprunge: You're welcome.
[08:24] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: what is bios?
[08:25] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: i think its not enabled.....how will i check it?
[08:25] <rww> anodesni: no
[08:25] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: You know what RAM and SWAP is, but not a BIOS hrm
[08:25] <anodesni> rww, maybe displace partitions?
[08:26] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: if the CD boots, it will let you try Ubuntu from CD, and even let you install it,  but  have any data backed up and such first
[08:26] <martez89> jellow: it says no such file or directory
[08:26] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: the CD boots up into RAM
[08:26] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: if you do not have enough RAM, things will be really slow, or not work properly at all
[08:27] <martez89> I use this command: sudo chmod -r 777 media/blabla/home/bart
[08:27] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: when i restart the pc, no change is there.   ?
[08:27] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: with the CD in the drive?
[08:27] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: yes
[08:27] <sebsebseb> atroy1994:  desktop or lap top?
[08:27] <jungli> kaushal chutiya
[08:28] <jellow> martez89: can you run "mount" from terminal and paste the results?
[08:28] <atroy1994> dekstop
[08:28] <bazhang> jungli, english here
[08:28] <MyWay> hello, after i upgraded my acer 5520 to kernel 2.6.32-22 (using lucid x64) i don't have audio anymore, somebody can help?
[08:28] <martez89> jellow: pasting the results will be kinda hard because im working on 2 laptops
[08:29] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: ok you will have to change the boot order in the BIOS, make CD the first boot device or it won't load
[08:29] <martez89> but can you tell me where to look?
[08:29] <ac1dburnz> MyWay,  what sound driver you have ?  desktop or laptop ?
[08:29] <MyWay> laptop, acer 5520, how to check what driver it is?
[08:29] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: how will i check whether "boot from cd" is enabled or not
[08:29] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: or maybe you should actsually try Ubuntu using Wubi to begin with
[08:30] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: except the requrements for Wubi is 256MB RAM, and apparantly you have a bit under
[08:30] <ac1dburnz> MyWay, use this command on terminal lspci, see if youre driver recognized
[08:30] <MyWay> Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1
[08:30] <jellow> martez89: Sounds like there is a problem with your path to the external hd, You sure you have the riigth path?
[08:30] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: by going into your computers BIOS, it will say how to do that when it loads up,  then be careful in there,  only change the boot order, nothing else, and save it, and the BIOS will tell you how to change stuff in it
[08:30] <ac1dburnz> MyWay,  please use lspci on terminal, and send me the report
[08:31] <MyWay> ok
[08:31] <ac1dburnz> pastebin
[08:31] <jellow> martez89: usually /media/somefolder ?
[08:31] <MyWay> ac1dburnz: http://pastebin.org/308275
[08:31] <wo_os> !! is it proper to pronounce XFCE as "X-force"?
[08:31] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: how will i change the boot order?
[08:31] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: that depends on your BIOS, we don't all have the same BIOS
[08:32] <martez89> jellow: i copied the path from the mounted hard drive
[08:32] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: from where bios will open?
[08:32] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: maybe you should find out what a BIOS is by  doing a Google search or maybe asking in ##hardware before going in there
[08:32] <well_laid_lawn> wo_os: it is just x f c e

[08:34] <ac1dburnz> MyWay,  hmm nhold on a sec
[08:34] <Jordan_U> atroy1994: When you boot there should be a message saying something like "Press F8 for a boot menu" (it may go by fairly quickly). Press whatever button it says to press to get a boot menu and choose to boot from the CDROM drive.

[08:42] <alpha_> sometimes I cannot boot ubuntu and get Gentoo up. It is stuck with an emergency shell because the date & time seems off, so I'll have to run fsck in these cases (and this fixes the problem). I have a laptop. What is the problem?
[08:43] <BPower> Hey, how would I mount an additional .disk file (ext4) to my Lucid machine so I can access the files?

[09:09] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: works with one
[09:09] <jellow> uzver: you would end up in dependency hell
[09:10] <bazhang> uzver, no
[09:10] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra,  lol
[09:10] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: :(
[09:11] <TommyH> Is there a way to change the Grub bootloader to always automatically boot into Ubuntu (i have a multi-os with Windows 7)
[09:11] <bazhang> piyushmishra, you have tried in #compiz , correct?
[09:11] <Damascene> ops, it's not open source. is there any alternative to wink?
[09:11] <piyushmishra> bazhang : no lol is there a channel for that!!!
[09:11] <ac1dburnz> piyushmishra, yes there is /join #compiz
[09:11] <bazhang> piyushmishra, sure, /join #compiz
[09:12] <xxg> 没人说中文
[09:12] <piyushmishra> ac1dburnz: cool
[09:12] <bazhang> !cn | xxg
[09:12] <piyushmishra> bazhang ty ty
[09:12] <xxg> ＃ubuntu -cn

[09:13] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | TommyH (see the part about GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT)
[09:13] <piyushmishra> the zoom is cool :P
[09:14] <jacekowski> hi
[09:15] <Jordan_U> TommyH: Though it should auto boot into windows after a timeout by default, if it isn't then that's a different problem.

[09:17] <Pirate_Hunter> I need a simple if not basic spreadsheet app that works in cli, I need to just note a few elements and wont be doing any extensive calculations can anyone tell me the name of such app?
[09:18] <well_laid_lawn> jacekowski: strace?
[09:18] <foxmulder> mariya: Reinstall from scratch.

[09:19] <foxiness> hi how can i know what kind of kernel i installed on my server 32 or 64 ? " arch : is this for my CPU , uname -a that what i know for now"
[09:19] <foxmulder> mariya: Why exactly do you want to reinstall all packages?
[09:19] <foxmulder> foxiness: That's it "uname -a"
[09:20] <jacekowski> Linux jacekowski.org 2.6.32.2-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 29 14:41:12 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[09:20] <rww> foxmulder: run "uname -a" in a terminal. If you see "i686" near the end, it's 32-bit. If you see "x86_64", it's 64-bit
[09:20] <rww> foxiness: run "uname -a" in a terminal. If you see "i686" near the end, it's 32-bit. If you see "x86_64", it's 64-bit
[09:20] <rww> foxmulder: sorry, mistab
[09:20] <rww> soo many foxes :(
[09:20] <foxmulder> rww: It's all good!

[09:20] <C-Otto> hi there
[09:20] <C-Otto> oh, this is a large channel
[09:21] <ac1dburnz> k
[09:21] <foxmulder> C-Otto: And a busy channel at that.
[09:21] <jacekowski> well_laid_lawn: no
[09:21] <well_laid_lawn> k
[09:21] <jacekowski> well_laid_lawn: strace can only trace system calls
[09:21] <C-Otto> I'm administrating one of the mirrors for ubuntu and wonder about the traffic. Is it correct that users first need to update their sources.list manually or download a new release where our mirror is selectable in the installer?
[09:22] <foxiness> foxmulder,rww  thanks :D
[09:22] <foxmulder> foxiness: No worries.
[09:22] <C-Otto> stated differently: what do you as an ubuntu user need to do to use a new mirror?
[09:23] <sravanje>   how can i execute java servlets and jsp programs in ubuntu using apache-tomcat server manager
[09:23] <C-Otto> with opensuse, mozilla, vlc, eclipse the answer is: nothing :)
[09:23] <gkasinath> hello everyone!
[09:24] <Circs> Could updates be handled by bitorrent in the future to reduce server load?
[09:24] <arand> C-Otto: Edit sources.list, or if you are an official mirror go to souftware sources and choose the mirror from the extended list there..
[09:24] <gkasinath> question - DVICO Fusion HDTV on 10.04 me-tv no tuner error. How to solve?
[09:24] <C-Otto> Circs: maybe try a different server? what about http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de :)
[09:24] <foxmulder> Circs: No.
[09:24] <inzi1985> installed ubuntu 9.10
[09:24] <C-Otto> arand: okay, thanks - I guess there's not much need to do these steps as long as everything works
[09:24] <Circs> C-Otto, I'm not having problems it was more of a technical question to further my understanding
[09:25] <inzi1985> hopefully this doesn't overheat too
[09:25] <Circs> foxmulder, Why not?
[09:25] <neuralsim> anyone want a free psychic reading? i'm in a rare mood
[09:25] <bazhang> neuralsim, wrong channel
[09:25] <arand> Circs: yes, there are already, but not heavily in use though
[09:25] <C-Otto> Circs: ubuntu CD releases are spread using bittorrent, I remember uploading with close to 2 GBit/sec using bittorrent a while ago
[09:25] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985, its not the operating system if youre laptop is overheated, sometimes its caused of the fail HDD
[09:25] <inzi1985> anyone here haveing problems with ubuntu overheating ur laptop
[09:25] <foxmulder> Circs: Because it's not what torrents are for. And that would require implenting a torrent client/server model into the update manager would isn't really the "correct" thing to do.
[09:25] <thune3> jacekowski: gcore maybe
[09:26] <Circs> arand, Anything for me to be able to find more info as to educate myself?
[09:26] <rww> Circs: There are various projects that tried to implement bittorrent in apt. None of them really took off :\
[09:26] <foxmulder> Circs: As mentioned, try a different server.
[09:26] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic windows runs super cool on mine.. and its not the hdd thats heating up, its the left side... my hdd is on the right
[09:26] <rww> Circs: "apt-torrent" would be one example. There's another that I forget the name of.
[09:27] <Circs> foxmulder, Not having any problems on my end I'm just trying to learn and my google-fu was too weak to provide me with much info.
[09:27] <Circs> rww, Thanks
[09:27] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985, try updating youre BIOS
[09:27] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: I had those problems wiht my laptop.
[09:27] <ter10> hjklhlh
[09:27] <ter10> check
[09:27] <inzi1985> HaakonKL : how did u solve?
[09:27] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: Basically, my problem was dust in the machine itself.
[09:27] <arand> !info apt-transport-debtorrent | Circs look at this for example
[09:27] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic, i cant seem to find the updated bios for my compaq 610
[09:28] <ter10> check server
[09:28] <Circs> arand, Ty :)
[09:28] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: Thus, I had to blow some compressed air over it. If you know what you're doing, you might want to open up the machine and see for yourself, but this is overkill and should not be done unless you know what you're doing.
[09:28] <C-Otto> ok, thanks, bye
[09:28] <C-Otto> (kthxbye)
[09:28] <gkasinath> question - DVICO Fusion HDTV on 10.04 help?!
[09:28] <shrz> jacekowski: memfetch
[09:28] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: I just went for the fans and blew them with compressed air, and now my laptop loves me again.
[09:29] <arand> Circs: There are apt-torrent servers available for debian at least I think, I don't know about ubuntu, and if they are in use much...
[09:29] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: what's the problem?
[09:29] <foxmulder> I can't imagine you'd get very good speeds d/loading updates from torrents even if they were available. Even on a slow mirror, it'd still be faster than torrents.
[09:29] <pLr> foxmulder: u underestimate a torrents top speed but ur still right
[09:29] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985, i think its caused of the modules on ubuntu
[09:29] <Circs> foxmulder, Probably, it was more curiosity an the desire to understand that drove me than attempt to fix something. Provocative maintenance if you will.
[09:29] <arand> foxmulder: If everyone would use torrents, they would be much faster, but of course, if no one does, they're not
[09:29] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - I've never had it working. And am wondering how to. Followed most instructions on ubuntuforums in vain
[09:30] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: what graphics card are you using, which drivers do you use, and how do you connect to the tv?
[09:30] <acidspoon> hi
[09:30] <root> hi
[09:30] <acidspoon> kann mir jemand bei der konfiguration von slim helfen bitte
[09:30] <inzi1985> HaakonKL, its not the processor thats over heating.. its the region near my left wrist... processor is fine, idles at 43
[09:30] <Jordan_U> !de | acidspoon
[09:31] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985, try Edit /etc/modules and add powernow-k7 on a seperate line and reboot.
[09:31] <simple_x> hi. i just installed cairo-dock but i dont know how to enable it each time ubuntu boots
[09:31] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: Yeah, but the fans would cool the entire laptop, no?
[09:31] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - Latest error is me-tv starting up with No tuners. But /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 exists. Nvidia card, DVB card was recognized at startup automagically by the kernel.
[09:31] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic : i shall try tat..
[09:31] <arand> Circs: One major problems with debtorrents I guess is that many ISPs do traffic shaping...
[09:31] <inzi1985> HaakonKL : i thought the fan was only for the processor.. coz thats where it is located
[09:32] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: so you're using a media center software thingie? I'm unfortunately not good with that sort of thing... :(
[09:32] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  System-Preferences-Sessions-Startup Programs-add. enter "cairo-dock" in the command box.
[09:32] <zer0t0xic> az_s_za is offline   	Reply With Quote
[09:32] <Circs> arand, Yeah, I am fortunate enough to not be impacted directly by that. AT&T however is evil.
[09:32] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: Nah... I've had my computer shut down on me for many things. nVidia mobile cards can get quite warm.
[09:32] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  System-Preferences-Sessions-Startup Programs-add. enter "cairo-dock" in the command box
[09:33] <HaakonKL> inzi1985: but you really should clean it out with compressed air anyway, as it is part of laptop maintenance. ;)
[09:33] <Finnish> What's the solution to play blu-ray movies in ubuntu?
[09:33] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: r u there?
[09:33] <inzi1985> HaakonKL : mine is a intel X3100, GE965 series
[09:33] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: yes
[09:33] <Circs> God I hate kernel upgrades, they make me super nervous and lag out the system so hard.
[09:33] <inzi1985> HaakonKL: impossible for that o ver heat
[09:33] <zer0t0xic> HaakonKL,  he says it runs pretty cool on windows, im sure its the modules on ubuntu is the problem to shutdown the laptop
[09:33] <atroy1994> i used ubuntu but its very slow. sebsebseb
[09:34] <HaakonKL> zer0t0xic: Okay, I didn't catch that reply. Sorry.
[09:34] <zer0t0xic> HaakonKL, dont be lol
[09:34] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: well yes
[09:34] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: why was it so? due to ram?
[09:34] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985,  did you try adding powernow-k7 on the /etc/modules ?
[09:34] <dartt> is there a performance difference between installing inside windows and a seperate dual boot?
[09:34] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: 1.  it will be a bit slow from Live CD.  2.  with a bit less RAM than 256MB RAM,  it may be a bit slower from the CD
[09:35] <drygrain> oh herro
[09:35] <miski> hello guys, the first time i installed ubuntu on my laptop, it detected the bluetooth device automatically, i just formatted my HD but this time it didn't recognize the device...any ideas ??
[09:35] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - No media center mate. Just the card and read somewhere to use me-tv, a smallish player to watch TV.
[09:35] <inzi1985> i'm adding it now
[09:35] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  did that fix youre problem ?
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> dartt:  i wouls say there has to be one. It maybe  slight. but there proberly is some differance.
[09:35] <drygrain> i believe something is wacky with my interwebs connection
[09:35] <atroy1994> sebsebseb: how will i shut down in ubuntu?
[09:35] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic : i'mm adding it now..
[09:35] <greezmunkey> dartt: wubi vs. partition install == huge differance.
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> dartt:  i suggest doing a normal install.
[09:35] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: and it's the me-tv part that's the problem?
[09:35] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: when its installed, and you got 512MB SWAP,  things will be faster
[09:35] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - I m open to other suggestions! :)
[09:35] <chris____> hi, my install of 10.4 (i386) version on my laptop seems to have gone a little funny. I now only have access to the command line, no gui. Is there any way to install that from the command  line?
[09:35] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic: how do i add it? open it up in gedit?
[09:36] <simple_x> zer0t0xic, i'm going to try now
[09:36] <miski> hello guys, the first time i installed ubuntu on my laptop, it detected the bluetooth device automatically, i just formatted my HD but this time it didn't recognize the device...any ideas ??
[09:36] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: It's just that I don't know anything about those things, so I can't help you. I thought that the problem was getting video to the TV.
[09:36] <Dr_Willis> !bluetooth
[09:36] <sebsebseb> atroy1994: plus can use Lubuntu for even more speed, if  the default Gnome is to slow
[09:36] <gkasinath> miski - USB bluetooth or built in?
[09:36] <miski> built in
[09:36] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985,  sudo gedit /etc/modules
[09:36] <Jordan_U> miski: Stupid question, but does your laptop have a switch for disabling bluetooth / wireless?
[09:37] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - ah.. nah.. step one aint working here :)
[09:37] <TommyH> is there a way to hide drives in the ubuntu File Browser (I have a windows partition that I want to make sure i never edit delete or modify in any way so i want to hide it in the file browser completely)
[09:37] <dartt> actually my friend tried installing inside windows n he got a swap of only 256mb tat cannot be changed..does swap matter?
[09:37] <miski> jordan_u yes it does have a switch
[09:37] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: So you can't get video out?
[09:37] <zer0t0xic> inzi1985,  add it on separte line
[09:37] <Jordan_U> miski: It it in the on position?
[09:37] <C-Otto> hi again, another thing
[09:37] <miski> jordan_u hehehe yes man of course
[09:37] <inzi1985> zer0t0xic : thanks.. i just added. it.. i'm setting up my wireless now.. will restart as soon as it can get it working k
[09:37] <zer0t0xic> miski,  try use wubi to install ubuntu
[09:37] <gkasinath> HaakonKL - Cuz I cant see if the card is indeed working on Ubuntu or not. How do I scan for channels without a player?
[09:38] <C-Otto> could you please check whether ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de appears as an official mirror in the list of mirrors that is available inside ubuntu configuration stuff?
[09:38] <HaakonKL> gkasinath: I have no idea, sorry. :(
[09:38] <miski> zer0t0xic- if i install using wubi, i need to install windows first ?
[09:38] <simple_x> yes it works :) thanks a lot
[09:38] <inzi1985> gkasinath : setting up a dvbcard is such a headache.. i tried so many times with mine.. and i finally gave up
[09:38] <Jordan_U> miski: Was it when you booted? Some drivers have bugs when trying to recover after bluetooth being disabled.
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> miski:  wubi installs in windowes.. so yes.
[09:38] <gkasinath> miski - I dont bluetooth at all. But can you check dmesg and see if something comes up indicating what the problem is?
[09:38] <zer0t0xic> miski, yes
[09:38] <inzi1985> miski : dont u have windows already installed??
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> miski:  i dont reccomend WUBI at all. i see to many problems with it in here every week
[09:38] <miski> nop
[09:39] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  no rpoblem
[09:39] <Dr_Willis> miski:  You may as well set up a Dual boot system if you have NO os installed right now
[09:39] <Notch-1> hi, can someone please paste me the content of /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager* file(s) ?
[09:39] <gkasinath> inzi1985 - I m with you mate! Especially the DVICo I think. I m stuck with Windows (had to PAY for 7!!) just so I can watch TV!!
[09:39] <inzi1985> Dr_willis : do u have any idea, as to wat is usally under the left wrist, on a laptop
[09:39] <inzi1985> gkasinath : yah dude.. its terrible..
[09:39] <miski> is there anything like a device manager in ubuntu ?
[09:40] <dartt> there is hardinfo
[09:40] <simple_x> cairo-dock is much like mac os x dock :) very nice
[09:40] <zer0t0xic> simple_x,  yes
[09:40] <inzi1985> gksanith : where are u from?
[09:40] <gkasinath> miski - yes there are.. lspci -v should tell you what pci devices you've got.
[09:40] <arand> C-Otto: It does not in Lucid.
[09:40] <C-Otto> arand: hm, thanks
[09:40] <miski> thanks gkasinath
[09:41] <C-Otto> it is listed as official, though
[09:41] <inzi1985> Dr_Willis : r u there?>
[09:41] <C-Otto> arand: the name is "RWTH Aachen University", maybe hidden in that?
[09:41] <gkasinath> inzi1985 - Perth, WA
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> inzi1985:  hmm?
[09:41] <[Screamo]> does Transmission support RSS feeds?
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> [Screamo]:  its a rather basic torrent client. It myght have the feature.  Check its docs
[09:42] <arand> C-Otto: There is vest.informatik.rwth-aachen.de, but not the one you specified.
[09:42] <inzi1985> Dr_willis  i have a compaq610,  only with ubuntu , the region under my left wrist heats up a lot, but on win 7 not so much
[09:42] <C-Otto> arand: k, thanks. do you know if that list is updated automatically?
[09:42] <chris____> I'm also getting a "startx: command not found" error message too.
[09:42] <inzi1985> anyhardware guys out there could help , i'd appreciate it alot
[09:42] <sebsebseb> inzi1985: ##hardware
[09:43] <inzi1985> sebsebseb wat do u mean?
[09:43] <chris____> is there anyway to get it fixed besides reinstalling?
[09:43] <sebsebseb> inzi1985: theres a channel for hardware issues
[09:43] <inzi1985> oh
[09:43] <inzi1985> og
[09:44] <inzi1985> sebsebseb : hardware issues on ubuntu?
[09:44] <Damascene> there is too many updates for the kernel
[09:44] <arand> C-Otto: I would guess that it may be defined by a package, by which case it is likely froozen as of the release of an ubuntu version (possibly updated later on if need be, but far from automatically... my guess)
[09:44] <sebsebseb> inzi1985: for any OS/hardware
[09:44] <C-Otto> arand: okay, so we need to wait for N* N*...
[09:44] <inzi1985> sebsebseb : i just tried.. i cant join there.. it says i need to be invited.. lol
[09:45] <C-Otto> (when is that going to be released?)
[09:45] <gent> hi
[09:45] <arand> C-Otto: Why not Maverick?
[09:45] <sebsebseb> inzi1985: maye you need to be registred on Freenode to join if your not
[09:45] <dartt> guys there was a gpg key error yesterday for lucid release...its had gone now...but i hv stopped getting security updates
[09:45] <C-Otto> arand: i think we got official (again) after the release of maverick
[09:45] <inzi1985> sebsebseb, i dun think im registerd.. i shall do so soon
[09:46] <sebsebseb> !register | inzi1985
[09:46] <khelvan> Hello, I am trying to add gconf-editor to my menu - I have right-clicked on applications and chosen Edit Menus, and I see the option for System Tools, but it won't allow me to check it for display. Can anyone tell me why?
[09:46] <arand> C-Otto: Maverick is not released yet and is still undergoing heavy changes, so I would assume if you are official it is highly likely that you might get in there
[09:46] <lunik> Pessoal, alguém aqui sabe algum software no estilo fruity loops pro linux? (mixagem de audio)
[09:46] <zer0t0xic> khelvan, i think you need to be root
[09:46] <lunik> oh shit
[09:47] <lunik> wrong channel
[09:47] <C-Otto> arand: oh, i see. like squeeze? :)
[09:47] <arand> Damascene: Not really, there are security updates, which I doubt people would want to miss.
[09:48] <khelvan> zer0t0xic, thanks - is there an easy way to do that through the GUI? or do I need to use the terminal?
[09:48] <arand> C-Otto: Kind-of, Maverick is somewhat of a rolling release at the moment, but in time for 2010-10 it will get "frozen" and released.
[09:48] <C-Otto> cool.
[09:48] <C-Otto> we'll see
[09:48] <C-Otto> i expect a lot of traffic from ubuntu
[09:48] <C-Otto> bye :)
[09:48] <zer0t0xic> khelvan, try clickin on the application category and youll be able to check what programs you want to show on the menu
[09:49] <zer0t0xic> khelvan,  let me know is that fixed youre problem

[09:52] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: so how far does the monitor work in the bootup process?
[09:52] <jungli> hello how can i see in which drive i installl the linux
[09:52] <Euthanatos> it boots.  I'm in 1440x900 on the monitor now
[09:53] <oCean_> jungli: if you use the command "df -h" you can see current partitions. Use "sudo fdisk -l" to list all partitions on all of your drives
[09:53] <Euthanatos> I tried reinstalling to no avail same issue.  idk wtf i did to get it working in the first place tbh
[09:53] <zer0t0xic> khelvan,you gotta check on the category first, such Accessories, then add the program you want to add
[09:53] <khelvan> zer0t0xic, Oh! If I don't have an item checked, the menu won't show up. Sorry, I'm an idiot. :P
[09:53] <simple_x> is there a way to change or remove the splash screen?
[09:54] <Euthanatos> i do know part of the problem is that i retained my /home partition which will really piss me off to have to get rid of
[09:54] <Euthanatos> and reinstall...again...because ubuntu fails
[09:54] <zer0t0xic> khelvan,  yes, and no youre not lol :P
[09:54] <gkasinath> jungli - Fire up a terminal and type mount.
[09:54] <smart_> hello every body
[09:54] <TommyH> How do I change my default media player to be VLC Player for everything?
[09:54] <Euthanatos> i mean seriously....this video thing is old as hell
[09:54] <drygrain> hello smart_
[09:54] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: are you sure about that 173Mhz? seems excessive?
[09:55] <gkasinath> jungli - if you see something like /dev/sda on / then you know the ubuntu installation is on /dev/sda
[09:55] <zer0t0xic> TommyH,  right click onthe file and Click Open With Other Application..
[09:55] <Euthanatos> SwedeMike, no i thought that was retarded to but that's what cvt says....furthermore it's NOT 173...it's 60
[09:55] <jungli> gkasinath: i install two destors in my system
[09:56] <jungli> one is fedora and second is ubuntu
[09:56] <jungli> :(
[09:56] <Euthanatos> but shit if any of that makes sense to a layman or i would know how to change that modeline when it's suppose to just work
[09:56] <oCean_> Euthanatos: watch the language
[09:56] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: and this is via vga, not hdmi/dvi ?
[09:56] <Euthanatos> yeah sure
[09:56] <TommyH> zer0t0xic:  i do that, but then when i try to open the file again by double clicking it opens some other media player
[09:56] <Euthanatos> right vga
[09:56] <jungli> ok ok i get it
[09:56] <jungli> :P
[09:56] <jungli> tahnks
[09:56] <dartt> is there a way to manually download updates...i hv stopeed getting security updates
[09:56] <zver> TommyH:check it in gconf-editor
[09:57] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: and you don't have DVI? In my experience EDID usually works on DVI
[09:57] <zer0t0xic> TommyH,  then choose which program to use, and Checked RememberThis Application for..
[09:57] <foxmulder> zver: Do you know the package name? If so, just google it.
[09:57] <Euthanatos> i don't have a DVI->DVI cable
[09:57] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: look here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Modeline_Database and try some of those modelines
[09:57] <zver> TommyH:/desktop/gnome/applications/media
[09:57] <jungli> but i ahve one more question how to label it like ubuntu and fedora
[09:59] <erUSUL> dartt: System>admin...>update manager
[09:59] <Euthanatos> oh right because finding a needle in a haystack where my brand isn't even listed is easier than writing it myself
[09:59] <Euthanatos> assuming there is a needle
[09:59] <TommyH> zver: do i just type in "vlc" as the value ?
[09:59] <OldPete> TommyH: If you install and use Ubuntu Tweak, you can change the default apps for all kinds of media from a single menu.
[09:59] <erUSUL> !gpgerr | dartt
[10:00] <erUSUL> dartt: pleaee keep it in channel; thanks
[10:00] <TommyH> How about hiding partitions/volumes in the File Browser? (i hae a windows partition i want to make sure i never touch)
[10:00] <phandox> Hi, I have a problem with iPod touch and Ubuntu 10.04. Ubuntu doesnt recognise connected iPod. Do you have any solution? Thanks.
[10:00] <Haagimus> is there any way to create my own private room in this IRC
[10:01] <Euthanatos> holy crap.  if i'd have know this was such a pitfa fail pos i wouldn't have wasted $170 for 1080p  lame
[10:01] <Haagimus> i tried to /join #custom room name but that didnt work
[10:01] <well_laid_lawn> Haagimus: try   /j #haagimus
[10:01] <well_laid_lawn>  /j #haagimus
[10:02] <OldPete> TommyH: If you never want to touch it, just don't mount it at boot.
[10:02] <Haagimus> disregard i figured it out
[10:02] <Haagimus> was just lag
[10:03] <TommyH> OldPete:  How do i not mount it at boot?  i just installed ubuntu, and it automounts all my partitions
[10:03] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: spend another 10USD for a DVI cable and you'll get better picture and easier to get it to work.
[10:03] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: my 1920x1200 monitor was detected automatically, no problem at all.
[10:03] <Euthanatos> SwedeMike, no DVI=HDMI
[10:03] <Euthanatos> Hdmi is just w/ aduo
[10:03] <Euthanatos> audio*
[10:04] <Euthanatos> so there won't be anything to be had from DVI over HDMI
[10:04] <OldPete> TommyH: Do you know how to edit fstab from the command line?
[10:04] <BPower> Anyone know of file splitting/joining software that works on both Ubuntu and Windows
[10:04] <BPower> ?
[10:04] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: whatever, DVI, HDMI, whatever connectors work for you.
[10:04] <TommyH> OldPete: no :'(
[10:04] <Euthanatos> none?
[10:04] <Euthanatos> it's not a frikin hardware issue
[10:04] <MikeChelen> BPower: 7zip with .rar or .tar?
[10:04] <dartt> p7zip
[10:04] <dartt> its in synaptic
[10:04] <SwedeMike> Euthanatos: ok then, you seem to know best. Have a nice life.
[10:04] <OldPete> TommyH: You know how to use the command line at all?
[10:05] <TommyH> OldPete: ya, i know how to enter commands haha
[10:05] <BPower> MikeChelen, Oh. Didn't know you could do that with 7zip. I'll try that out. Thanks
[10:05] <Euthanatos> yeah well i'm no guru but i didn't forget to plug it hur dur thanks anyway
[10:05] <damien> Hi all, I'm occasionally getting Plymouth issues when booting. Instead of seeing the nice purple, I get a broken screen well Dell logos spread suspiciously across the top. Which room should I report this in?
[10:05] <MikeChelen> BPower: check which file formats it supports, probably ones allows splitting
[10:06] <Euthanatos> back to slack screw it
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> TommyH:  you could install/run the ntfs-config command - it might let you just 'check box' the drives to ignore.
[10:06] <lindsaymobil22> hey is it advised to run updates on a wubi install?
[10:06] <BPower> MikeChelen, thanks! :) I'm going to try now on the Windows side. brb
[10:06] <OldPete> TommyH: Okay.  I'm not sure what text editor you have installed, so the command I'm going to give will have to be changed for whatever it is.  I use one called pico.
[10:07] <bupsss> hi all
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  I think it can be done. but watch out for  Upgrading to the next release.
[10:07] <OldPete> TommyH: sudo pico /etc/fstab
[10:07] <BoWenLi> hey, guys. have anyone useing Netbeans 6.8 Developer?
[10:07] <bupsss> does anyone knows if it's possible to use kde power manager on gnome?
[10:07] <bupsss> it has great power schemes... that i really need
[10:07] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: i know im not upgrading to 9.10, it sucks, and im not upgrading the kernel of 9.04 either
[10:08] <Propel> sup folks!!!
[10:08] <OldPete> TommyH: Look for a line that will be labeled showing where the windows partition is currently being mounted.  Comment out the line after that with a #.  Then save.
[10:08] <Propel> I finally jumped ship! :D
[10:08] <Propel> about time
[10:08] <Propel> officially a geek :P
[10:08] <AhmedBH> hi all
[10:08] <Pinguis> has anyone here gone from karmic to lucid? I'm thinking about upgrading but I'm not sure
[10:08] <OldPete> Dangit ... Is imagebin.ca down for everyone, or is it just me?
[10:09] <wildbat> Propel, did you passed the geek exam ?;p
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  personally i wouldent use Wubi at all
[10:09] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: in the recommend updates it lists an intel display driver for my laptops card, is ubuntu 9.04 any good at upgrading drivers? does anyone get problems, like BIG problems?
[10:09] <fishcooker> dr_willis: is it true that writing partition on the first always from the outer cyclinder?!
[10:09] <AhmedBH> can anyone tells me why the hell my HDD is so slow whiling copying from ext4 to ext4 when its fine and fast as hell on NTFS on windows7 SAME DRIVE by the way 7200 RPM it pissed me off @_@
[10:09] <Propel> so far, so good wildbat! :P
[10:09] <bupsss> Pinguis i just did.... :D
[10:10] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: wubi was my only option, the os that cant be named wouldnt let me shrink the partition, and i dont like GParted
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  windows couldent shrink its self? odd...  theres alterantives to gparted.. and you could of used virtualbox..
[10:11] <damien> Pinguis - All works fine for me except Netbeans now won't start and an occasional Plymouth issue.
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  i hopd your wubi setup dosent just self destruct some day like i see many people in here have happen.
[10:12] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: nope, just came up saying 0 mb to shrink, yet i have like 110GB of free space
[10:12] <lindsaymobil22> i tried perfectdisk, didnt work
[10:12] <TommyH> OldPete:  There's no windows drives listed there, i guess the issue is not that my drives are being mounted
[10:12] <AhmedBH> anyone wanna help me ? jhhhhhhhh
[10:12] <TommyH> It's that they are even listed in my File Browser
[10:12] <Gryllida> how do I check whether a package is installed? I know its name
[10:12] <TommyH> I want to remove them from all visibility as if they never existed
[10:13] <erUSUL> Gryllida: apt-cache policy packagename
[10:13] <well_laid_lawn> Gryllida: dpkg -l | grep packagename
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  i always defrag/scandisk befor i resize. never seen the issue.
[10:13] <EgyParadox> AhmedBH: at what rate is the copying?
[10:13] <wildbat> AhmedBH, define slow and fast ....
[10:13] <OldPete> TommyH: If it's being mounted, it's listed there somewhere unless you're doing it manuall, which it doesn't sound like you are.
[10:13] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: ive tried everything under the sun, still dosent work
[10:13] <Gryllida> well_laid_lawn, erUSUL, which one should I use?
[10:14] <well_laid_lawn> Gryllida: either :]
[10:14] <phandox> Hi, my Ubuntu 10.04 cannot recognise connected iPod Touch OS 3.1.3. Does somebody know solution?
[10:14] <TommyH> OldPete:  I think i found a post on the ubuntu forums! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=99086&page=2 so i think that will work out exactly what i need
[10:14] <fishcooker1> /dev/sda1 is more outer than /dev/sda2
[10:14] <fishcooker1> ?Q
[10:14] <TommyH> thanks!
[10:14] <erUSUL> Gryllida: both can tell you if it is installed or not
[10:14] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: thats why  switched, i might even dual boot os x and ubuntu on this laptop, ive had enough of windows on laptops,
[10:14] <AhmedBH> EgyParadox:  i copied a ripper dvd it was 700mb and it was at 20 to 22 mbps i was so pissed
[10:15] <OldPete> TommyH: Yeah, that should help you.
[10:15] <EgyParadox> Mbps or MBps?
[10:15] <EgyParadox> and how did you know?
[10:15] <TommyH> thanks all for the help! im going to sleep now!
[10:15] <EgyParadox> it should be MB actually

[10:18] <inzi1985> Dr_willis: just got my wireless fixed.. do u hve any idea  wats near the left wrist region on a laptop
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> tht would be ONE way of course
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> inzi1985:  i dont have X-ray vision so no..
[10:18] <inzi1985> Dr_willis : that area on my laptop is quite hot
[10:18] <mohammad6006> how to uninstall docky?
[10:18] <mohammad6006> im newbie
[10:18] <[Screamo]> inzi1985, you would have to google and look for schematics =/
[10:18] <inzi1985> Dr_Willis : i know that.. just figured u might know. ehhe ..
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> inzi1985:  gpu, cpu, or hd....
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> mohammad6006:  use the package manager tools.
[10:18] <mohammad6006> ok
[10:18] <mohammad6006> tanx
[10:19] <mohammad6006> dr willis
[10:19] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: theres some niggles with 10.04 right now, i started with 9.04, and loved it, that was may 2009
[10:19] <inzi1985> Dr_willils: yah i tried that, but i cant seem to find to the schematics for compaq 610
[10:19] <mohammad6006> where is package manager?
[10:19] <AhmedBH> wildbat:its about 20 to 22
[10:20] <EgyParadox> System-> Administration-> Synaptic Package Manager
[10:20] <inzi1985> mohammed6006 : go to system > Administration > Synaptic package manager
[10:20] <Gryllida> mohammad6006, applications, Synaptic package manager
[10:20] <wildbat> AhmedBH, huh sorry i lost connection?
[10:20] <AhmedBH> oh huh
[10:21] <AhmedBH> welcome back
[10:21] <mohammad6006> tanx
[10:21] <EgyParadox> AhmedBH
[10:21] <AhmedBH> wildbat: so
[10:21] <fishcooker> i lost connection too
[10:21] <AhmedBH> wildbat:  any idea whats so wrong when its fine on NTFS
[10:21] <tkbros> jhjnbjkbjk
[10:21] <wildbat> AhmedBH, what is the rate on NTFS and ext4?
[10:22] <fishcooker> /dev/sda1 is more outer of cylinder disk than /dev/sda2
[10:22] <fishcooker> ?
[10:22] <wildbat> fishcooker, usually but not a must
[10:22] <AhmedBH> wildbat: i gotta check both are same 7200 RMP but i gotta check wait
[10:22] <AhmedBH> but other sda2 has NTFS on it so ? copying from ext4 to NTSF wont really solve anything
[10:22] <AhmedBH> it will have its own spee
[10:23] <AhmedBH> d
[10:23] <BPower> MikeChelen, you're the best :) Thanks for pointing out 7zip for me
[10:25] <jungli> hello how i install launcy ?
[10:25] <kop> BPower, some are actually able to help , I'm just here to laugh at
[10:25] <jungli> !launcy
[10:25] <Gryllida> jungli, sudo apt-get install launcy
[10:25] <BPower> !install
[10:26] <BPower> haha
[10:26] <BPower> oh. poo.
[10:26] <BPower> Would I have any problems if I install Ubuntu to an external hard drive?  The goal is that I could switch between computer systems (like Live USB but more powerful).
[10:26] <jungli> Gryllida: i think i see you in freenode
[10:26] <MikeChelen> BPower: there are tons of good archive programs for linux, 7zip is nice though for being crossplatform :)
[10:26] <jungli> Gryllida: do you remmber ?
[10:26] <Gryllida> jungli, that's right..
[10:26] <BPower> MikeChelen, agreed
[10:26] <kc7zzv> There are some bugs in https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt.  Where should I rebort them or how should I fix them?
[10:27]  * jungli jungli hugs Gryllida 
[10:27]  * kop crawls back under a rock
[10:28] <tkbros> will it harm my computer if i power off it directly from ups instead of shutting down it from ubuntu.
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> tkbros:  always best to properly shutdown
[10:28] <inzi1985> tkbros : yes it would, so best shutdown through ubuntu
[10:28] <kc7zzv> It may harm your OS or data if you just cut the power.  The computer should be fine though.
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> BPower:  a normal install to a usb hd can work. but moveing theat hd from one box to another. can have issues - depending on the video drivers and so forth t hat you install
[10:29] <unop> tkbros, the UPS should signal a shutdown when reaching a minimum threshold
[10:29] <lindsaymobil22> should i run the recommended updates in jaunty?
[10:29] <lindsaymobil22> its just the xorg that has me worried
[10:30] <jungli> cat /proc/partitions but what are the blocks ?
[10:31] <zultell> my friend
[10:31] <zultell> i need help
[10:31] <BPower> Dr_Willis, You think there are ways I can setup conditional drivers? Ex: switch (mac_address_orwhaever) { ... }
[10:31] <BPower> whatever**
[10:31] <lindsaymobil22> should i run the recommended updates in jaunty? its just the xorg that has me worried
[10:32] <zultell> i got problem when i install my friend with win xp got he display driver detect
[10:32] <zultell> but when i install lucid dont have it]
[10:32] <kc7zzv> lindsaymobil22: Any reason you'er worried about the updates?
[10:32] <AhmedBH> wildbat: same speed
[10:32] <AhmedBH> 19 mbps
[10:32] <well_laid_lawn> lindsaymobil22: why wouldn't you?
[10:32] <fishcooker> numbering of cylinder is started from the outer?!
[10:32] <kc7zzv> zultell: What graphics card?
[10:32] <lindsaymobil22> kc7zzv: this is a wubi install and ive heard bad things about upgrading xorg with intel graphics chips
[10:33] <zultell> can anyone help me
[10:33] <zultell> ati radeon 350m
[10:33] <lindsaymobil22> i aint upgrading the kernel, no sirrey
[10:33] <well_laid_lawn> zultell: you need to tell the channel the prob mate
[10:33] <wildbat> !ati | zultell
[10:34] <kc7zzv> lindsaymobil22: In my experence, Intel graphics cards had a lot more bugs in Karmic, but most of the NEW bugs are fixed by now.
[10:34] <AhmedBH> wildbat: hello ?:P
[10:34] <[Screamo]> ewww intel gfx =/
[10:34] <lindsaymobil22> kc7zzv: i hate karmic, im using jaunty,
[10:34] <wildbat> AhmedBH, hmmm ?
[10:35] <AhmedBH> wildbat: its slow as i told you 20 mpbs
[10:35] <lindsaymobil22> screamo: tell me about it, good thing i have a gaming pc with an ati hd4650
[10:35] <thune3> lindsaymobil22: then update everything but xorg stuff if that concerns you
[10:35] <[Screamo]> i cant even run ubuntu on my dell because of the intel card
[10:35] <kc7zzv> lindsaymobil22: I don't think any of those updates ever ended up in Jaunty though.  Also, I haven't had any trouble with Intel graphics cards in Lucid aside from general slowness.
[10:36] <lindsaymobil22> thune3: its just i think i might need a graphics update because online videos stutter in full screen in ubuntu, fine in windows and os x
[10:36] <kc7zzv> [Screamo]: One of the older Dimentions?
[10:36] <wildbat> AhmedBH,  that's about the speed HDD writes
[10:36] <[Screamo]> kc7zzv, yeah, its pretty old =/
[10:36] <AhmedBH> wildbat: Yes but THIS SLOW are you kidding me ?
[10:36] <lindsaymobil22> [screamo] try xubuntu
[10:37] <lindsaymobil22> or pp linux
[10:37] <lindsaymobil22> pp meaning puppy
[10:37] <[Screamo]> Speed isnt an issue, its the gfx card driver
[10:37] <wildbat> AhmedBH, define fast then ?
[10:37] <kc7zzv> [Screamo]: I work on those a lot.  I've found them to not crash, but X is unusably slow in jaunty or above.
[10:38] <[Screamo]> well that machine is back to windows
[10:38] <kc7zzv> [Screamo]: They used to kernal panic a lot in karmic for a month or two after release.
[10:38] <AhmedBH> wildbat: man on ntfs its a way faster and why slow here when it should be at least better on ext4
[10:38] <lindsaymobil22> does wubi 10.04 work very well?
[10:39] <[Screamo]> if i use the proprietary driver for nvidia card, im stuck with like half the resolution =/
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> I dont think ive ever seebn the terms 'Wubi and Works Very Well' Ever used together. :)
[10:40] <[Screamo]> ikr
[10:40] <[Screamo]> arg
[10:40] <[Screamo]> fucking rat bite me :(
[10:41] <phlak_user> !language
[10:41] <[Screamo]> ooops wrong window =/
[10:41] <wildbat> AhmedBH, it depends on fragmentations level and where the data write~ , you may also have disk cache disabled
[10:41] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: not true, wubi 9.04 is as fast as an ext3 install, just because the install drive is ntfs, i have fragmenting issues
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  and i see peopme in here Constantly with their wubi issues...
[10:41] <lindsaymobil22> dr_willis: wow, and im the only one were it works flawless?
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> lindsaymobil22:  yes. i would say you are one of the very very very very few
[10:42] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: i recently installed and uninstalled wubi on someone's laptop and they lost their windoze 7 along with it!!!
[10:42] <kc7zzv> Well, in theory the people who aren't having issues might not come here.
[10:42] <lindsaymobil22> phlak_user: now thats crazy
[10:42] <Abrodmain> hi evrybody, who knows how to repear windows because it doesnt install, it's a tattoed pc (code purple) ?
[10:42] <wildbat> AhmedBH, also you may be running IDE mode ~ check bios setting
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> Id reccomend using Virtualbox over wubi to 'test' out linux. (actually i use vbox + linux  on windows to get work done) :)
[10:43] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: no its true; i can see the windoze entry in grub but cant boot; inside lucid, i can see the partition but totally empty
[10:43] <lindsaymobil22> is wubi 10.04 with vista any good,
[10:43] <lindsaymobil22> phlak_user, since when did grub come up first? for me its the windows bootloader then grub4dos
[10:43] <phlak_user> Abrodmain: whats a tattooed PC?
[10:43] <[Screamo]> wubi isnt good at all
[10:43] <[Screamo]> =/
[10:44] <lindsaymobil22> i love wubi, great inventions, just has some issue
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> I think this channel in General has a very low opinion of wubi's abilities
[10:44] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: i then installed ubuntu natively so grub also came up :)
[10:44] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: which is why i tried to uninstall the wubi installation
[10:44]  * wildbat votes against wubi ~
[10:44] <lindsaymobil22> i vote for wubi
[10:45] <vasez> What is the recommended filesyetm for a media drive with mostly large video files?
[10:45] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: jolliet?
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> vasez:  when in doubt stick with ext3/ext4
[10:45] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: sorry not for you
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> vasez:  unless you have to share with windows.
[10:45] <BAHAR> hello, how can i switch to another languages?
[10:45] <lindsaymobil22> jolliet?
[10:46] <Abrodmain> a tattou is a microsoft protection which doesnt allow you to install any other OS
[10:46] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: nm; the filesystem
[10:46] <kc7zzv> BAHAR: In ubuntu?
[10:46] <Abrodmain> or qomething like that
[10:46] <qm7> I've been having programs freeze randomly for about 30 seconds, this happens every 10-20 minutes or so, randomly. I checked /var/log/messages and it says something about the "Ubuntu Network Kernel" and "Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed". Could anyone please help me with this?
[10:46] <vasez> Dr_Willis: Thanks, of the two which is more stable?
[10:46] <BAHAR> yes
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> Abrodmain:  never heard of it.
[10:46] <Dr_Willis> vasez:  proberly wont matter. ext4 in theory is  better.
[10:46] <phlak_user> Abrodmain: is that legally allowed? i thought they threw that out of the window
[10:47] <lindsaymobil22> has anyone had their keyboard not work in lucid?
[10:47] <phlak_user> qm7: do a memory test at boot
[10:47] <BAHAR> kc7zzv:  i  have engish and persian, how i can switch i mean the keybord layout
[10:47] <alkemann> i installed lamp server with taskel, and now I have the emberrassing problem that I cant find the htdocs.
[10:47] <phlak_user> lindsaymobil22: i had mine freezeup totally; then discovered that i had enabled slow keys by mistake
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> !lamp | alkemann
[10:47] <oCean_> alkemann: htdocs?
[10:47] <phlak_user> alkemann: /var/www
[10:48] <nyuszika7h> Hi!
[10:48] <vasez> Dr_Willis: Thank you, a reading said that fscks are faster on ext4, that wins me over lol
[10:48] <qm7> phlak_user: why? and do you do that?
[10:48] <BAHAR> ubuntu, could you pls help me
[10:48] <phlak_user> qm7: its to check if your RAM is ok
[10:48] <Abrodmain> i don't know but the big computer companies such as windows and HP, Dell, Asus.. made an arrangement
[10:48] <alkemann> phlak_user: thanks.
[10:48] <lindsaymobil22> somebody on youtube had there keyboard not work with a native install, so they had to do there video in vbox
[10:48] <BAHAR> i want switch persian and english keybord layout
[10:48] <phlak_user> Abrodmain: you mean like an OEM version?
[10:48] <kc7zzv> There are some bugs in https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt.  Where should I report it or send my fixes?
[10:49] <phlak_user> BAHAR: system-preferences-keyboard
[10:49] <oCean_> !bug | kc7zzv
[10:49] <qm7> phlak_user: is this symptomatic of a RAM issue?
[10:49] <Abrodmain> yes phlak_user
[10:49] <BAHAR> ubuntu
[10:49] <qm7> phlak_user: how do you do the test?
[10:49] <phlak_user> qm7: sure sounds like it; once you isolate that its not the RAM, we can look at other things
[10:49] <phlak_user> qm7: select the memtest option in grub
[10:49] <BAHAR> ubuntu, pls help me
[10:50] <qm7> phlak_user: how do I get to that?
[10:50] <phlak_user> BAHAR: system-preferences-keyboard
[10:50] <phlak_user> qm7: at boot, you get the grub menu right?
[10:50] <qm7> no
[10:50] <phlak_user> qm7: no??
[10:50] <thune3> qm7: do you have the full line where Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed"
[10:50] <r-c-is-me> i have ubuntu 9.10 aand installed ps3 media server, followed the steps and when i double click PMS.sh and say RUN i don't see anything happening......can someone pls try and help me
[10:51] <alkemann> i have to use sudo to edit files in /var/www ?
[10:51] <Abrodmain> in fact the mbr is deleted and the computer doesn't recognise the version of windows (correct me if i'm wrong)
[10:51] <thune3> qm7: where that appears
[10:51] <qm7> phlak_user: oh do you have to press a key to get that?
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> r-c-is-me:  run it from the terminal, look for error messages, not 'double clicking' on it
[10:51] <qm7> thune3: yes, do you want to see it?
[10:52] <r-c-is-me> Dr_Willis: i'm not too happy working in terminal, where can i look at the steps
[10:52] <thune3> qm7: yes, just the one full line
[10:52] <oCean_> alkemann: default it is owned by root user I think. In that case, you have to sudo moving or editing files there
[10:52] <BAHAR> phlak_user:  tnx alot,
[10:52] <BAHAR> ;)
[10:52] <BAHAR> bye all
[10:53] <qm7> thune3: Jun  2 11:45:01 ubuntu-network kernel: [65446.460760] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed
[10:53] <alkemann> oCean_: ok now that's just annoying. editing a css file on a localhost is hardly a security hole. can I grab ownership of /var/www ?
[10:53] <r-c-is-me> Dr_Willis: all the configs and stuff they mention is by double clicking and i don't see anything happening like i said
[10:53] <phlak_user> alkemann: yes you can; /var/www/ is normally protected by apache
[10:54] <phlak_user> qm7: oh that looks like your hard drive is in trouble (sda)
[10:54] <nyuszika7h> i'm now testing kubuntu
[10:54] <oCean_> alkemann: you can use "sudo -i" to gain shell with sudo privileges
[10:54] <thune3> qm7: to me it looks like your hdd may be developing bad blocks
[10:54] <qm7> phlak_user: it says sd, not sda
[10:54] <phlak_user> qm7: yes it does --->  [sda] Add
[10:54] <QuiltPants> hi all, could someone please help me set up remmina to remote into another machine using dyndns ? :) I'm very confused...
[10:55] <alkemann> why does this have to feel so hard to someone who thought he was computer proficient..
[10:55] <qm7> thune3: what does that mean? hardware damage or software error?
[10:55] <qm7> phlak_user: now i see it
[10:55] <oCean_> phlak_user: alkemann it's not user apache.
[10:56] <phlak_user> alkemann: what user is apache running as?
[10:56] <oCean_> alkemann: it's not all that hard, is it? The different users and userprivileges are very basic in the linux security
[10:56] <oCean_> phlak_user: www-data
[10:56] <oCean_> phlak_user: still, default ownership is root
[10:56] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: I believe this is an issue not related to ubuntu
[10:56] <EgyParadox> remina?
[10:57] <EgyParadox> wait
[10:57] <qm7> thune3: what does that mean? hardware damage or software error?
[10:57] <thune3> qm7: hard drives can develop bad blocks. you could try looking at the smart data (internal hard drive reporting): smartctl -a /dev/sda
[10:57] <EgyParadox> oh remmina I apologize
[10:57] <alkemann> phlak_user: how do i find out?
[10:57] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: no worries :)
[10:58] <{BG}Barbarian> hello, is it possible to install ubuntu from a USB stick?
[10:58] <oCean_> alkemann: it is www-data, the user running the webserver(-processes)
[10:58] <{BG}Barbarian> I have a pc without a disk drive or dvd drive
[10:58] <kiamo> {BG}Barbarian, yes
[10:58] <wildbat> !usb | {BG}Barbarian
[10:58] <kiamo> there are instructions on how on the main ubuntu page
[10:58] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: i tried using the build in remote desktop viewer, but had no luck so i installed remmina instead which seems to work well
[10:58] <oCean_> alkemann: but you do not need to become that user. The /var/www directory is default owned by the root user
[10:58] <phlak_user> alkemann: ps -fe | grep httpd
[10:59] <oCean_> phlak_user: alkemann nope: not grep httpd, it's called apache2 the process
[10:59] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: the remote desktop viewer worked with DynDNS?
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> {BG}Barbarian:  i do that all the time. However the SERVER edition may not work that way. (alternative installer might not also)
[10:59] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: i have it working on my local network, but can't figure how to set it up so that i can access teh machine via DynDns
[10:59] <alkemann> alek      9448  9288  0 11:59 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto httpd
[10:59] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: no i haven't figured that out yet
[11:00] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: Some routers can support DynDNS.
[11:00] <phlak_user> oCean_: yes youre right; it used to be httpd some moons ago
[11:00] <oCean_> phlak_user: on other distro's it still is
[11:00] <alkemann> so anywhy i installed a lamp(hp) server but php isnt working
[11:00] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: you can check your vendor of your router if you need to access it from the internet.
[11:01] <EgyParadox> if can support DynDNS
[11:01] <alkemann> there is a php5 dir in /etc/
[11:01] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: oh yes
[11:01] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: sorry i just realised i've made a slight mistake
[11:01] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: You can also enable port forwarding.
[11:01] <Mojodojo> I swear Ubuntu rocks lol anyways is anyone here able to answer a wine question?
[11:01] <EgyParadox> no worries.
[11:01] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: what i'm trying to do is set up a machine here at home that i plan to set up at my dad's house
[11:02] <oCean_> Mojodojo: there are lots op people here. Just ask your question in the channel, try to keep it in one single line
[11:02] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: so i have tried to set up ddclient on his machine
[11:02] <QuiltPants> as i'm not sure how his router works
[11:02] <oCean_> Mojodojo: however, wine support is in #winehq
[11:02] <phlak_user> alkemann: how do you know that php doesnt work?
[11:02] <Pip> Hello, I want to view the menu.lst file in /boot, where is it ?
[11:02] <alkemann> phlak_user: goging to /localhost/index.php it downloads the php file
[11:02] <Pip> How to edit the grub booting menu ?
[11:03] <oCean_> !grub2 | Pip
[11:03] <Pip> damn
[11:03] <Mojodojo> I'm trying to run Ragnarok and its extreamly slow even with my duel core pc 3gb ram and ati 4650 1gb video card any idea why?
[11:03] <r-c-is-me> is there a ps3 media server support channel somewhere?
[11:03] <phlak_user> pip: it has changed since grub2; now there is a /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d and /boot/grub/grub.cfg that gets generated
[11:04] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: you can enable port forwarding on the router which is connected to the computer you try to connect to.
[11:04] <EgyParadox> you are trying to connect to*
[11:05] <phlak_user> alkemann: have you installed and enabled the php module for apache?
[11:05] <alkemann> phlak_user: i picked the install everything default option. or so I thought.
[11:05] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: sorry EgyParadox, i think i've just realised my mistake
[11:05] <alkemann> phlak_user: the softerware center lists php
[11:05] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: No worries
[11:05] <oCean_> alkemann: be sure php module is loaded (sudo a2enmod php5) and apache is restarted (sudo apache2ctl restart)
[11:05] <qm7> phlak_user: im going to pm you the results
[11:05] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: on the router i have a different dyndns account to that set up using ddclient
[11:05] <phlak_user> qm7: just pastebinit
[11:06] <Pip> phlak_user, then how to edit menu.lst file ?
[11:06] <TecnicoDPC> #linuxjournal
[11:06] <QuiltPants> EgyParadox: thanks for your help
[11:06] <phlak_user> Pip: there is no menu.lst file; edit /etc/default/grub and run update-grub2
[11:06] <{BG}Barbarian> Dr_Willis: how do I know I need server edition?
[11:07] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: you can access it through port forwarding without any DynDNS.
[11:07] <qm7> phlak_user: you get that?
[11:07] <EgyParadox> account
[11:07] <wildbat> {BG}Barbarian, if you don't know then you don't need it
[11:07] <phlak_user> qm7: yes; cant make out anything :)
[11:08] <alkemann> phlak_user: yea ithink this taskel install failed completely. following the instructions on how to include phpmyadmin if i get 404, im told the file doesnt exist
[11:08] <EgyParadox> QuiltPants: np
[11:08] <phlak_user> qm7: though there are errors thrown when DMA read occurs
[11:08] <mechdave> {BG}Barbarian, you only need the server edition if you want to run a mail,database or web server just to mention a few
[11:08] <Mojodojo> Is there a way to disable disconnected/joined channel messages in the chatroom?
[11:08] <alkemann> I love how to the instructions tell you to "use any method" to install the following. that's kinda avoiding the content of the install instructions, imho ;)
[11:09] <thune3> qm7: can i see
[11:09] <mechdave> {BG}Barbarian, there is no GUI with the server edition
[11:09] <oCean_> alkemann: what client are you using? Xchat? then rght click on channel tab > settings
[11:09] <well_laid_lawn> Mojodojo: depends on the chat client you use
[11:09] <phlak_user> alkemann: you could try re-installing with sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
[11:09] <qm7> thune3: just sent it
[11:09] <drygrain> score of 237 in open yahtzee!
[11:10] <drygrain> :)
[11:10] <alkemann> oCean_: no default .. ephinay or something
[11:10] <oCean_> alkemann: ah, don't know about that client.
[11:10] <alkemann> phlak_user: sais it is already installed
[11:11] <oCean_> alkemann: of course it is. Did you see my previous post?
[11:11] <Mojodojo> I'm using empathy for my IRC is there a way to remove joined and left messages from people?
[11:11] <phlak_user> alkemann: check whether enabled and reload apache using oCean_ 's instructions
[11:11] <giuseppe_> join picasa
[11:11] <phlak_user> alkemann: --> (sudo a2enmod php5) and apache is restarted (sudo apache2ctl restart)
[11:11] <qm7> phlak_user: did you see #
[11:11] <giuseppe_> hi all... I have a problem with picasa on xubuntu 9.10
[11:11] <giuseppe_> anyone can helo om?
[11:12] <giuseppe_> help me?
[11:12] <jellyware> I'm having trouble getting a logiteck quickcam cool working with skype in ubuntu 10.04 (black screen when I click test) but it works fine with cheese.  has anyone else experienced this issue?
[11:12] <qm7> phlak_user: did you see the line about "Airflow_Temperature_Cel"?
[11:12] <alkemann> "The Alias directive in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf at line 3 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
[11:12] <alkemann> httpd not running, trying to start"
[11:13] <oCean_> giuseppe_: maybe ask in #xubuntu
[11:13] <alkemann> but yea things seems to be up and running now!
[11:13] <giuseppe_> oCean_, ok... thanks a lot
[11:14] <thune3> qm7: you have 10 pending "bad" sectors
[11:14] <qm7> thune3: what does that mean?
[11:15] <Mojodojo> I have an ATI 4650 anyone else experiencing flickering with black lines with Ubuntu 10.04 this seemed to be a past issue that was fixed with 9.10 but I cant find anything for 10.04
[11:15] <thune3> qm7: it means that 10 separate 512-byte blocks have thrown read errors, but cannot be auto corrected by the drive because they have unreadable data in them.
[11:15] <bovv> hi
[11:15] <qm7> thune3: does that mean physical damage or something else
[11:16] <bovv> I just installed Lucid and my Gnome panel is locked so I cannot move or remove anything.  How can I unlock the panel?
[11:16] <raven> how to use ifconfig for manual config of eth0 (ip, dns, ...)?
[11:16] <bovv> raven: ifconfig eth0 IPADDR
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  is this the netbook editiion?
[11:17] <gooooooonah> Hi, I have problem enabling wifi on Dell M2300
[11:17] <bovv> Dr_Willis: yes.
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> thats why then bovv.
[11:17] <raven> bovv, but it wont be saved until next reboot and there is no dns specified
[11:17] <mechdave> raven, try opening a terminal and type man ifconfig that will give you the documentation for ifconfig
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  only fix ive seen is to basically set up the gnome-desktop to clone the netbook edition layout.
[11:17] <phlak_user> bovv: at login, you can select GNome instead of Netbook as session
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  but thats not much of a fix. If you want to cistomuze the netbook setup - thats how you have to do it
[11:18] <bovv> Dr_Willis: how does one do that?
[11:18] <thune3> qm7: drives as they get older start to develop bad blocks. most people just get a new drive. i've corrected bad-blocks before and put a fan on the drive
[11:18] <sachael> anyone remember the name of a small console utility that can make the taskbar button of the console flash (wanting attention)
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  i saw it discussed at the webupd8.org web site once a few months back.
[11:18] <qm7> thune3: would I be able to succesfully backup the entire drive?
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  or search for 'unlock netbook panel'  there are several similer guides out
[11:20] <phlak_user> Dr_Willis: bovv i have installed the netbook edition on an eeepc and can login into a standard gnome session
[11:20] <mechdave> qm7, you could try doing it with dd
[11:20] <raven> how to use ifconfig for manual config of eth0 (ip, dns, ...)?
[11:20] <qm7> mechdave: whats that?
[11:20] <bovv> Dr_Willis: I'll give it a search.
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> bovv:  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-add-remove-applets-from-gnome.html
[11:21] <phlak_user> raven its all done in /etc/network/interfaces if you are not using the networkmanager
[11:21] <EgyParadox> raven: Manual configuration using networkmanager can work also.
[11:21] <thune3> qm7: people have been recommending ddrescue for trouble files, but only 5KB of your drive is known bad, 99.999% will copy out just fine.
[11:22] <Hans_Henrik> when i compress files with winrar in "default settings", packagemanager has no problem extracting it, however when i choose options "best+solid", package-manager will say "archive type not supported", i guess thats a bug?
[11:22] <qm7> thune3: ok
[11:22] <thune3> qm7: or gddrescue
[11:22] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: could be losing its magic number
[11:22] <Mojodojo> anyone know why the ATI 4650 is causing the screen to flicker during bootup and when I open certain programs?
[11:22] <Hans_Henrik> phlak_user: what?
[11:22] <mechdave> qm7, dd is used to take an image of a partition
[11:22] <qm7> thune3: do i perform ddrescue before or after the backup?
[11:23] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: when you use the "best+solid" option, what does the command $file archive-name give you?
[11:23] <alkemann> how do I find a partition I created in windows? im currently running both with wubi
[11:23] <gooooooonah> alkemann: browse to the filesystem, then look in the host folder
[11:23] <alkemann> ah yea there thanks
[11:24] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: winrar??
[11:24] <qm7> mechdave: do i perform ddrescue before or after the backup?
[11:24] <bovv> Dr_Willis: thanks.... I'm gonna drop off to try this fix.
[11:25] <Pip> how to make gedit in read-only mode via command line ?
[11:25] <thune3> qm7: there are better experts than me on gddrescue, i believe that most people would recommened using it as the tool for backing up a trouble drive though
[11:25] <gooooooonah> still trying to enable wifi on wubi installed 10.04 on Dell M2300...
[11:26] <ikonia> !wifi | gooooooonah
[11:26] <{BG}Barbarian> I will be using my music player as USB drive (1,90 GB), the guide says I need a thumb disk of at least 2 GB, before I format all my music could someone give me an educated guess if this 1,90 GB will also be enough?
[11:26] <ikonia> {BG}Barbarian: should be, but tight
[11:26] <gooooooonah> ubottu: thanks - I'll drop out and read!
[11:27] <mechdave> qm7, ddrescue is an enhancement on dd
[11:27] <mechdave> qm7, have a look here --> http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> {BG}Barbarian:  that may not be  a device that can be 'booted'  from
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> {BG}Barbarian:  plug it in, and reboot, and check the 'boot options' to see if its even seen as a divice you can boot from
[11:29] <mechdave> {BG}Barbarian, I would recommend against using your mp3 player to use as a boot device
[11:30] <Hans_Henrik> phlak_user: dont get what you mean by "$file archive-name", shal i try to execute the archive file with the argument "archive-name"?
[11:30] <ikonia> mechdave: boot devices don't exist in the Linux world like the windows one
[11:31] <mic32> There is no way to restore the default configuration of iptables?
[11:31] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: replace "archive-name" with the name of the archive that you created
[11:31] <ikonia> mic32: default is everything open, so just disable it
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> mic32:  the default would be No rules...
[11:31] <mechdave> ikonia, I realise that, just my terminology sort of "crosses over" sometimes
[11:31] <schlaftier> Hans_Henrik: no, you should execute "file" with the archive file as argument. "File" is a utility that identifies the type of a file
[11:31] <bovv> Dr_Willis: thanks.... it turns out that I just needed to select the GNOME desktop and not the UNR desktop.... that came out from the article you recommended.  Thanks!
[11:31] <mic32> ikonia: how to disable?
[11:31] <{BG}Barbarian> okay
[11:31] <fluvvell> mic32, iptables -F should flush all rules
[11:32] <{BG}Barbarian> I'll see if I can get this plug in card usb stick working instead
[11:32] <phlak_user> bovv: isnt that what i said :)
[11:32] <ikonia> mic32: iptables -FX should do it just fine
[11:32] <Hans_Henrik> phlak_user: compiling.rar: RAR archive data, v1d, flags: Solid, os: Win32
[11:33] <bovv> phlak_user: now that you mention it, you did, didn't you.  Thanks, too. :-)
[11:33] <thune3> qm7: first, i'd just try backing up your critical data using your normal backup scheme
[11:33] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: ok so maybe package manager doesnt recognize the Solid flag; let me check
[11:33] <phlak_user> bovv: yw
[11:33] <mic32> ikonia: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
[11:33] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card?
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> for some rar archives - ive seen where you need the rar-NON free version,
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> In order to extract them
[11:34] <tkbros> is there any equalizer available for rhythm box media player?
[11:34] <phlak_user> Hans_Henrik: you could check with unrar if this happens
[11:34] <ikonia> mic32: drop the x
[11:34] <ikonia> X
[11:34] <vishaltelangre> Dr_Willis, in that situations, I do prefer winrar w/ winehq
[11:35] <naxa> if you had to choose, which is the best currently relatively new laptop for ubuntu? i'm interested in specific models, not "those which come preinstalled" 'couse I cannot really find fast info.
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> vishaltelangre:  done that a few times also.. but i rarely use rar these days.
[11:35] <ikonia> naxa: there is no best option, it's what you like, just keep in mind nvidia/ati/intel graphics support, same for wirless cards
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  theres such a varity its  hard to Tell - I would stick to ones that have nvidia video. and then whatver wirless card you can find that has support.
[11:36] <naxa> ikonia: well I would prefer one with intel video and wireless cards. I also prefer acer, lenovo and dell
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  i would avoide toshiba.
[11:36] <ikonia> naxa: ok - so investigate what you want then and shop around
[11:36] <phlak_user> naxa: this might be a starting point -->www.linux-laptop.net
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  some Intel video chipsets have issues -  so watch out
[11:36] <paulchain> god I avoid intel at all cost when it comes to graphic cards
[11:36] <naxa> Dr_Willis: no toshiba then. nvidia is also ok but I don't want it to overheat. i'm not a gamer...
[11:36] <vishaltelangre> !info unrar-free | Dr_Willis
[11:37] <naxa> paulchain: i see maybe i should stick with nvidia
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> vishaltelangre:  ive seen archives that the unrar-free wont uncompress but the unrar-nonfree does.
[11:37] <naxa> phlak_user: thank you! it is too much to read for me just right now but i'll read it later
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  check out the preintstalled linux machnes. and see what gpu/wireless they normally use. :) thats a start
[11:38] <vishaltelangre> Dr_Willis, then free archive extractors are fake liers, eh...!!! ;)
[11:38] <letrozko> Greetings, my ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 freezes randomly on my laptop. Is there a way to find why is this happening?
[11:38] <mic32> ikonia: after I have done this configuration http://pastebin.com/zNFcwaFc with iptables i couldnt download or pinging from the internet
[11:39] <ikonia> mic32: tr #iptables for rules support
[11:39] <naxa> Dr_Willis: my problem was that I cannot find which ones has preinstalled linux... how can I get a list
[11:39] <naxa> ?
[11:40] <mic32> ikonia: #iptables unable to join channel (invite only) :s
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> naxa:  check google and see what the various linux hardware sites sell
[11:41] <phlak_user> mic32: try ufw to get the iptables commands the way you want them
[11:41] <phlak_user> !ufw | mic32
[11:41] <naxa> Dr_Willis: i actually already had hard time with the too much information... could you provide me some link to a site like this, please? :) i always find *too much* info to handle
[11:41] <letrozko> My ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 freezes randomly on my laptop. Is there a way to find why is this happening?
[11:42] <ikonia> mic32: #netfilter
[11:42] <phlak_user> naxa: heres another one --> http://www.linuxcertified.com/linux_laptops.html
[11:42] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, http://blog.ichinmay.com/2010/05/03/ubuntu-10-04-upgrade-from-9-10-usb-keyboard-mouse-problem/
[11:42] <naxa> phlak_user: thank you very much
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> phlak_user:  now ya gave him too much info! :)
[11:42] <alkemann> if i try to use git in /var/www and using sudo, will it not look in ~/.ssh for my public key? I have it set up, but im getting permission denied
[11:42] <goddard> How do I edit the "connect to server" book marks in ubuntu "Places" menu?
[11:42] <phlak_user> Dr_Willis: this one has only laptops listed :)
[11:42] <letrozko> vishaltelangre, ????????
[11:43] <letrozko> vishaltelangre, I think you got the wrong person.
[11:43] <sebner> Does here anybody know how I can configure Azureus how many parallel downloads I want? There is only maximum downloads and maximum active torrents (But as I have a lot stuff I'm seeding it only downloads 1 at a time, it worked somehow with jaunty though)
[11:43] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, what problems you are facing?
[11:43] <phlak_user> Dr_Willis: this one has only *5 laptops listed :)
[11:43] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  My problem is that my ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 on my laptop freezes randomly.
[11:44] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  The laptop is ok, checked the temperatures, they are normal...is there a way to find out why it freezes randomly?
[11:44] <phlak_user> sebner: doesnt maximum active torrents indicate parallel downloads?
[11:44] <phlak_user> sebner: or uploads
[11:44] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, is your mouse and keyboard and other peripheral devices stucks/freezes when you logged in to your 10.04 machine?
[11:44] <goddard> How do I edit the "connect to server" book marks in ubuntu "Places" menu?
[11:45] <sebner> phlak_user: it's both, but when I have 5 maximum active torrents it seeds 4 and downloads 1 here, I'd rather have it the other way round or something in the middle
[11:45] <phlak_user> letrozko: it would help if you could narrow down to whether this is due to something that you do at that time
[11:45] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card?
[11:45] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  Well let me tell you. I login, everything fine, I browser folders, everything fine, but suddently mouse stucks, sound stucks, everything stucks.
[11:46] <phlak_user> sebner: I dont know; maybe someone at azureus will know
[11:46] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  It freezes randomly, one time I was in firefox listening to some music on youtube, and suddently freezed...
[11:46] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, Yeah right.. My friend also got same problems a few days ago, check the solution on his post, we fixed that: http://blog.ichinmay.com/2010/05/03/ubuntu-10-04-upgrade-from-9-10-usb-keyboard-mouse-problem/
[11:46] <sebner> phlak_user: kk, np
[11:46] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  another time I was organising some folders...:|
[11:46] <phlak_user> letrozko: can you switch to console by pressing ctl-alt-f1 when the freeze occurs?
[11:47] <letrozko> phlak_user,  I can't do nothing, everything is stuck, sound, mouse cursore everything.
[11:47] <phlak_user> letrozko: another way would be to be logged in to the machine via ssh and tail the system log and see if anything crops up during the "freeze"
[11:47] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  Well I do not have problems with my mouse and keyboard, that's what that link is from.
[11:48] <letrozko> phlak_user,  Ok, I will try that. How can I acces the log system via ssh?
[11:49] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, your devices' entries are not written in the *evdev.conf file in  /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d directory...
[11:49] <Etherael> jbd2/sda4-8 <--- this process is intermittently causing strange sounding disk IO, ubuntu 10.04, I think it's a journalling manager, is this a known issue?
[11:49] <phlak_user> letrozko: once you ssh in, type sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
[11:49] <letrozko> phlak_user,  thank you
[11:49] <Etherael> it's like a 3sec long segue of rapid hdd clicks.
[11:49] <Etherael> about once every 10 seconds.
[11:50] <letrozko> I hope I resolve this issue, it is so strange and my system is unstable because of this.
[11:50] <mechdave> Etherael, have you got smart configured in BIOS?
[11:50] <phlak_user> letrozko: all the best!
[11:51] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, your machine stucks might been because of your mouse/keyboard problems...
[11:51] <Etherael> mechdave, Not sure, whatever would be default on a fairly new system, dmesg would tell me right?
[11:51] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, no issues... Have a good time!
[11:51] <FrozenOne> Looking for some help with a 10.04 live install
[11:51] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  well I'm runing ubuntu on a dell inspiron with a touchpad and obviously internal keyboard
[11:51] <taulant>  hello all !
[11:51] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  ubuntu didn't stuck when i was on 9.10 that's strange.
[11:52] <letrozko> phlak_user,  the same!
[11:52] <Etherael> mechdave, http://pastie.org/992887
[11:52] <mechdave> Etherael, just a sec shall refresh my memory on SMART monitoring
[11:53] <kad_> hey all !! i have sony 64-bit process, can i install in it ubuntu 32-bit ?
[11:53] <FrozenOne> How do I get proprietary drivers to save on a live install?
[11:53] <jrib> kad_: no
[11:53] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, Yeah I'm also telling you same thing, on that blog the description about problem is not enough sufficient, but our problem exactly matching w/ your one's..
[11:53] <ikonia> FrozenOne: yse the hardware drivers tool, same as non-live
[11:53] <Dr_Willis> kad_:   clarify what you mnean.. Sony dosent Make CPU's last i checked.
[11:53] <letrozko> vishaltelangre,  ohh ok, I hope we get it fixed.
[11:53] <taulant>  letrozko, Yeah I'm also telling you same thing, on that blog the description about problem is not enough sufficient, but our problem exactly matching w/ your one's..
[11:53] <jrib> kad_: I assumed you meant software made by sony
[11:54] <FrozenOne> I did that, but when I rebooted they were not there
[11:54] <LjL> mechdave, Etherael: there's probably no need to enable SMART in the BIOS; you can install the "smartmontools" package, then run "smartctl -H" and/or "smartctl -A" to check the drive's state, and if it turns out SMART is not enabled, it can be enabvled with "smartctl -s on"
[11:54] <cdoublejj|afk> where can i find themes for ubuntu
[11:54] <kad_> jrib, no
[11:54] <jrib> !themes > cdoublejj|afk
[11:54] <jrib> kad_: then what did you mean?
[11:54] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, If you check that, and not found your these devices were not there, means you have to make manually write their entries there so as they work proper w/ your lappie!
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> cdoublejj|afk:  for GNOME you can install the gnomeart tool and install them. theres also dozens in the repos and various PPA repos
[11:54] <Etherael> LjL, What would SMART have to do with the symptom I'm talking about here? I don't see the connection?
[11:54] <taulant>  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[11:54] <jrib> taulant: please don't
[11:54] <Etherael> it's not the "click of death" noise, so I don't suspect hardware failure.
[11:54] <letrozko> taulant,  do not spam here
[11:54] <mechdave> LjL, Thanks, was looking for that :)
[11:55] <Etherael> also, it didn't happen in 9.10 and it doesn't happen in win7.
[11:55] <Etherael> so this makes me think it's a 10.04 specific issue.
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> anytime i hear hard drives making lots of clicking noises.. i get scared. :)
[11:55] <taulant> who is spamming here (am not xD )
[11:55] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[11:55] <mechdave> Etherael, what LjL said :)
[11:55] <LjL> etherealite: i don't know, i was merely following up on mechdave - but i imagine that mechdave is thinking that a repeated-clicking sound from a drive might be due to the drive retrying reads or writes on some sector, which is often a symptom of a failing drive
[11:55] <kad_> jrib,  i got 64-bit process, and i have setup of ubuntu 32-bit!! what i meant ubuntu 32-bit can install on 64-bit
[11:55] <kad_> jrib, that what i meant
[11:55] <vishaltelangre> letrozko, our problem was, he upgraded to lucid from karmic... but after logging in every time, his computer gets stucked after some times..
[11:55] <Etherael> Dr_Willis, Yeah generally I agree, but this just sounds like a rapid sequential activity sequence in a 3 second span once every 10-20 seconds, and iotop shows that it's always this jbda2 process
[11:56] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card? sorry for reposting just trying to check every 10min or so if anyone new knows how to solve it :)
[11:56] <FrozenOne> Any idea why the hardware manager would not save proprietary drivers on a live install
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> kad_:  your use of the term '64bit process'  is a little confuseing
[11:56] <jrib> kad_: you mean a 64-bit processOR  I assume?
[11:56] <Etherael> LjL, Yeah that's why I don't think it's a failign drive, works in other OS'. This only happens specifically in ubuntu, and it coincides precisely with iotop shooting the jbda2 process right to the top.
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> FrozenOne:  how did you do the 'live install ' ?
[11:56] <Etherael> so I'm wondering if it's something new about the way journalling is configured in 10.04 ?
[11:57] <ackley> FrozenOne: because it's a live install that erases everything when you reboot.
[11:57] <kad_> jrib, yes
[11:57] <jrib> kad_: then yes, you should be able to install 32-bit ubuntu if that's what you want
[11:57] <kad_> jrib, aha thx =)
[11:57] <LjL> etherealite: well, there is ext4 that's new, or that may be new depending on what you used previously, i guess.
[11:57] <FrozenOne> Dr_Willis:  It is on a usb thumb drive.  I need a driver for my wireless card on my laptop
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> FrozenOne:  and i ask again.. HOW did you do this Live-Install? What tools?
[11:58] <kraut> moin
[11:58] <mechdave> Etherael, jbda2 is a fork of ext4 yes?
[11:58] <vishaltelangre> vishaltelangre, then to overcome this problem, we added the entries of missing devices such as mouse.keyboard etc via single user mode (alt+ctrl+F1 for this and alt+ctrl+f7 for GUI before log in window being shown)
[11:58] <FrozenOne> Dr_willis:  I used a program from windows
[11:58] <Etherael> For what it's worth though, here's smartctl -a /dev/sda (disk in question) http://pastie.org/992889
[11:58] <Etherael> mechdave, I'm not entirely sure actually.
[11:58] <bovv> My gnome-volume-control-applet is not auto starting.... any idea how to have it start auto-matically on login?
[11:58] <FrozenOne> dr_willis:  I forgot the name
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> FrozenOne:  IF you used unetbootin. then you need to set up a persistant 'save' file (a casperrw) file to have a peristant save file you can make changes to
[11:58] <Etherael> mechdave, my google fu has vague mentions toward links to journalling kernel management.
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> FrozenOne:  check out Pendrivelinux for other ways to automate the task
[11:59] <vishaltelangre> vishaltelangre, check that w/ your ones, tell what you get then after...!
[11:59] <FrozenOne> Dr_willis:  yea that is what I used
[11:59] <caac> jrib, are you on Gnome?
[11:59] <FrozenOne> dr_willis:  thanks I will check it out
[12:00] <vishaltelangre> ohir, I'm replying to myself instead of replying to letrozko!!! :D
[12:00] <imaginativeone> join #iphone-dev
[12:00] <jrib> caac: I'm never on gnome, just ask though :)
[12:00] <mechdave> Etherael, Maybe if you change it to ext3 or ext4?
[12:00] <caac> ok jrib, I still haven't found how to change that 2nd pass
[12:00] <mechdave> Etherael, how did you get it?
[12:00] <Etherael> mechdave, downloaded amd64, installed from USB key.
[12:00] <jrib> caac: oh.  Describe exactly when you get asked for it and ask the channel, someone may know
[12:00] <Etherael> it's already ext4.
[12:01] <Etherael> I didn't change fs options, it's just the 10.04 default.
[12:01] <svip> Why can't Ubuntu figure out to turn off my speakers when I have my headphones plugged in?
[12:01] <alkemann> using git on ubuntu, is there something special to consider. restart? done everything (created and posted my pub key) but get permission denied
[12:01] <jrib> svip: bug (did you search bugs.ubuntu.com?)
[12:01] <alkemann> trying to access my own repo on github
[12:01] <svip> jrib: I did not.
[12:01] <jrib> svip: that's where I would start
[12:01] <svip> jrib: Is it this stupid pulseaudio again?
[12:01] <imaginativeone> how do I make my running programs visible on the panel?
[12:01] <jrib> svip: I don't know
[12:01] <caac> well jrib, I'm the guy who wanted to make a new account and everything was ok except for the "keyring" it asks me when I'm logged in, I need to type the old pass again
[12:01] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card? sorry for reposting just trying to check every 10min or so if anyone new knows how to solve it :)
[12:01] <svip> jrib: I am going to remove it anyhow.  Pulseaudio is nothing but trouble.
[12:02] <jrib> svip: it has its uses
[12:02] <Rob215> hello
[12:02] <svip> jrib: Too many cons compared to its pros.
[12:02] <mechdave> Etherael, can you pastebin the output from sudo fdisk -l ? (that is a lower case L)
[12:02] <Rob215> I have a question
[12:02] <sjokkis> Rob215: so ask
[12:02] <imaginativeone> heh heh...
[12:02] <imaginativeone> how do I make my running programs visible on the panel?
[12:03] <bazhang> imaginativeone, something like conky, but on the panel?
[12:03] <Rob215> Is Wubi inside the ISO image or a separate download?
[12:03] <Etherael> mechdave, http://pastie.org/992895
[12:03] <imaginativeone> bazhang: don't know what conky is...
[12:04] <BPower> MikeChelen, Okay so I just split the file and was finally able to successfully transfer everything over to my other computer (running Ubuntu).  Now I need to join them again...  I can't find any documentation on how to do this via 7zip's command line....
[12:04] <ManateeLazyCat> Hi, all. I use Ubuntu 10.04 with Flash 10.1 r53, but it's always crash my desktop when i watch movie use browser. Flash crash when screen dark (long-time no input)
[12:04] <Rob215> Is Wubi inside the ISO image or a separate download?
[12:04] <imaginativeone> but I used to be able to see little rectangle icons on the panel
[12:04] <bazhang> imaginativeone, not sure what you mean then
[12:04] <ManateeLazyCat> So anyone have same situation? Or just me?
[12:04] <imaginativeone> which indicated that they were running
[12:04] <Rob215> ManateeLazyCat: Try Flash 10.0
[12:04] <ManateeLazyCat> Even install flashplugin-installer from source is same.
[12:04] <imaginativeone> ManateeLazyCat: I recently had that problem
[12:04] <ManateeLazyCat> Rob215: Same.
[12:05] <sjokkis> Rob215: how do you expect to use wubi to download the iso, of it's inside the iso?
[12:05] <imaginativeone> my hd had bad sectors
[12:05] <dartt> download chrome it is having inbuilt flash player
[12:05] <ManateeLazyCat> Rob215: Flash 10.0 crash, so i try 10.1, but same crash.
[12:05] <imaginativeone> what is conky?
[12:05] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: I use Chromium.
[12:06] <dartt> try chrome it may help u
[12:06] <Rob215> sjokkis: I just want to download the ISO but I want Wubi inside it? Is Wubi inside the 32-bit Ubuntu 10.4 ISO
[12:06] <sjokkis> Rob215: no
[12:06] <alkemann> ah I have to use http when using git on ubuntu?
[12:06] <ackley> It isn't? It was for me.
[12:07] <vishaltelangre> !info conky | imaginativeone
[12:07] <imaginativeone> to sort through my running programs, I have to use ALT+TAB
[12:07] <sjokkis> Rob215: actually, yes. probably
[12:07] <sjokkis> Rob215: there are directions. follow them
[12:07] <sjokkis> anyone know where to find MD5 hashes for the lucid ISOs?
[12:07] <alkemann> they way phpmyadmin is added to the localhost (ie not being in /var/www) can I do the same for my own apps (this is a dev machine, not a pub server)
[12:07] <mechdave> Etherael, what are you doing when this happens?
[12:08] <mechdave> Etherael, noise
[12:08] <Etherael> mechdave, typically the more idle the system is, the better chance of it happening.
[12:08] <Rob215> sjokkis: The website is messed up
[12:08] <Etherael> mechdave, the more active the system is, the lower the chance.
[12:08] <imaginativeone> I just want to see what is running
[12:08] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: I don't think it can help me, It's a problem of Flash, even Chrome, i think Flash is also will crash it.
[12:08] <imaginativeone> without having to ALT+TAB
[12:08] <Etherael> (or perhaps when active, it just doesn't stick out amongst the normal disk noises)
[12:09] <Rob215> Out to Lunch
[12:09] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: The real problem is not crash browser, it's crash gnome make me restart system.
[12:09] <dartt> hmm...try disabling hardware acceleration in flash settings
[12:10] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: It's just crash when i watch flash movie and screen power-off (long-time no maintain).
[12:10] <EgyParadox> !md5
[12:10] <EgyParadox> sjokkis
[12:10] <jrib> caac: you can't right click on "Passwords: login" and select "change password"?
[12:10] <imaginativeone> aaahhh...figured it out
[12:10] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: From my situation, i think Flash maybe have have some bug with Ubuntu 10.04 and not just care browser.
[12:10] <imaginativeone> I wanted to Add a Window List to the panel
[12:11] <caac> jrib, sweet!!!! that works
[12:11] <ManateeLazyCat> imaginativeone: Any luck?
[12:11] <sjokkis> EgyParadox: thanks
[12:11] <Etherael> this guy seems to have the exact same problem as me; http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1489637
[12:11] <imaginativeone> ManateeLazyCat: with what?
[12:11] <vishaltelangre> imaginativeone, right click on panel -> add to pannel -> window list
[12:11] <dartt> go to chromium options, under the hood, content settings, flash settings...a new page wil open in browser....disable hardware acceleration from there....just try it once....if u can't make it..then there gonna be big problem
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> caac:  they sort of hide that setting :)
[12:11] <ManateeLazyCat> imaginativeone: For avoid this problem, i need always typing something avoid screen power-off to crash desktop.
[12:12] <ManateeLazyCat> imaginativeone: Flash crash desktop
[12:12] <imaginativeone> thanks
[12:12] <imaginativeone> vishaltelangre: thanks
[12:12] <caac> Dr_Willis, apparently yeah, I have a pass for my network and 2 for "desktop couch", what are the ones for desktop couch?
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> caac:  no idea
[12:12] <vishaltelangre> imaginativeone you're welcome! :)
[12:13] <caac> ok Dr_Willis
[12:15] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Why do you think it's a problem of "hardware acceleration"? Can you explain it?
[12:16] <dartt> yeah maybe coz when i use 3d interface of une , my laptop crashes but 2d interface works fine
[12:17] <dartt> its bcoz there may be no hardware acceleration
[12:17] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: The strangle thing is flash just crash when screen dark.
[12:17] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: If i always typing keyboard (avoid screen dark), flash won't crash.
[12:18] <nignyttramp> tired of all the spam? join #gnaa on irc.hardchats.com today!
[12:18] <rohan> u/q
[12:18] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: So i think it's a bug of flash somewhere.
[12:18]  * ManateeLazyCat I hope i won't use Flash anymore, use html5 forever....
[12:19] <dartt> hmm...may be...than change ur power settings...n turn off the blank or dark screen
[12:19] <a2mCTF> tired of all the spam? join #gnaa on irc.hardchats.com today!
[12:20] <Tecna> I've just installed 10.04, and now when I boot, the screen shuts off when plymouth starts.  I'm using ye olde nvidia geforce2 mx400
[12:20] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Yes, i was think about it. I have change my power setting that "never off", but i don't know why screen still power-off .
[12:20] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Looks "power-settings"  can't work.
[12:21] <krishna_> I connected to my friend via team viewer and changed the resolution in the team viewer menu. but now, he is not gotting the mouse pointer all. He restarted and tried the recovery mode by booting in low graphics mode and then to reconfigure graphics. please provide me with commands so that i can tell him over phone and make him enter in root terminal that is in recovery menu.
[12:21] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Screen still will dark even i have set it.
[12:21] <fgg> is the screen locked up but does the computer work?
[12:22] <krishna_> fgg,  yes.
[12:22] <krishna_> fgg, only the mouse pointer does not appear. but he can move it with guess and icons highlight ,.. the problem is that the arrow does not appear for him
[12:23] <krishna_> fgg, he can use his terminal and enter commands .
[12:23] <krishna_> fgg, his keyboard works. mouse works. i.e the icons highlight when he tries to move the mouse. he can move it to shutdown menu and anywhere but the arrow is not appearing.. .
[12:23] <Tecna> where's ubottu?
[12:24] <dartt> ManateeLazyCat: in power settings click on make it defualt
[12:24] <Out`Of`Control> What is a good tool to convert audio files?
[12:24] <phlak_user> !hi| Techna
[12:24] <krishna_> Tecna, why do you want a bot ?
[12:24] <fgg> and he has no idea what is causing the mouse to disappear?
[12:24] <krishna_> fgg, i changed the resolution in teamviewer's hovering menu.. his resolution changed.
[12:24] <krishna_> but his pointer vanished
[12:25] <phlak_user> krishna_: can this help --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628028
[12:25] <Tecna> krishna_: because no humans are answering me.
[12:25] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Oh, do you mean "power setting" just update when i click "make it default" ?
[12:25] <fgg> is this a desktop or laptop?
[12:25] <dartt> yeah...try it
[12:25] <krishna_> phlak_user, it's about Gusty. he uses Lucid lynx
[12:25] <Out`Of`Control> any one?
[12:25] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Thanks,
[12:25] <mechdave> Etherael, Interesting...  You don't have any swap configured... I wonder if that is a factor?
 Etherael, I don't know where to go, except maybe install and run the smarttools just to see what pops up, maybe Windows isn't picking it up... That's all I can think of, usually when a hard drive starts to die it will let out a staccato chatter
 Etherael, sound
 Etherael, Another thought, maybe the error is actually on part of the disk that is in the Linux partition therefore windows will not access that part of the drive due to it not seeing the Linux partition
[12:26] <FloodBot2> mechdave: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:26] <krishna_> fgg, ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx desktop edition.
[12:26] <dartt> m not sure...try it though
[12:26] <krishna_> mechdave, please use paste.ubuntu.com
[12:26] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: If this can work, my flash won't crash, even bug still at there.
[12:26] <phlak_user> krishna_: the logic is the same, if its an nvidia card; that link advises you to turn off hardware cursor on he GeoForce 6100 card
[12:26] <dartt> stay idle for few minutes n check it
[12:26] <krishna_> phlak_user, he uses no graphics card.
[12:27] <Rob215> FloodBot2
[12:27] <mechdave> Be alright if I didn't get disconnected!
[12:27] <phlak_user> krishna_: so you might want to start from the beginning
[12:27] <phlak_user> !details
[12:27] <Etherael> mechdave, hmm, I'm more prone to think it's the journalling kernel manager doing frequent buffer flushes to disk.
[12:27] <krishna_> phlak_user, he has a core 2 duo processor.
[12:27] <Etherael> mechdave, iotop is showing all the jbd2 activity as writes.
[12:27] <krishna_> phlak_user, what does "beginning" mean
[12:27] <krishna_> ?
[12:27] <Etherael> mechdave, And no errors are actually being reported.
[12:27] <phlak_user> krishna_: start with providing information on the configuration of his machine
[12:28] <dartt> krishna ur frnd got a laptop or desktop...
[12:28] <fgg> does he have another mouse, sometimes a bad mouse can cause weird problems, or a mouse interacting with a touchpad
[12:28] <mechdave> Etherael, whichever way it surely is not good for your disk to have it hammer like that
[12:28] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: I'm curious why "power setting" don't told me i need update it with administor permission if "make it default" is necessary. It's design is confuse user.
[12:28] <Etherael> mechdave, THat's the other thing, the amount of data being written to the disk per minute is actually ~100k.
[12:28] <Etherael> so although it sounds like it's significant, perhaps it really isn't.
[12:28] <Etherael> the light is not hard-on for example
[12:28] <Etherael> the sound is just really weird.
[12:29] <its-me-again> hi where is the sorce.lst file found
[12:29] <Etherael> not like thrashing solid, but like a regular spaced write / read proc.
[12:29] <ManateeLazyCat> dartt: Thanks for your help, i will stop typing now for test "power settings". :)
[12:29] <fgg> and the pointer doesn't show right away, even before logging in?
[12:29] <dartt> ManateeLazyCat: yeah i dunno abt tat...y it is so...also u can download n intasll ubuntu tweak...it has some tweaks for power settings
[12:30] <Pip> What's the best way to upgrade ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04LTS ?
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  /etc/apt/    check the apt-get manuals/docs befor messing with that file
[12:30] <Pip> Safe, clean and simple
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade | pip
[12:30] <Pip> thanks
[12:30] <krishna_> phlak_user, is it possible to edit the xorg file ??   he will tell me the configuration. please wait
[12:31] <mechdave> Etherael, To be honest, the only time I have heard the hard drive hammer is just before it dies... usually it is just a sound from the stepper motor on the head on the older drives... The newer ones are virtually silent, to hear them I need to have the covers off my tower and have it next to me on the desktop
[12:31] <Etherael> mechdave, This is a notebook harddrive, and the sound is nothing like I've heard a drive make before.
[12:31] <vishaltelangre> All freezes here... dartt, what a magic man!!! :)
[12:31] <Etherael> I'm very familiar with the click of death sound.
[12:31] <Etherael> it's nothing like that.
[12:32] <dartt> its working?
[12:32] <mechdave> Etherael, how is it different?
[12:32] <its-me-again> thanks dr_
[12:32] <its-me-again> thanks Dr_Willis
[12:33] <dartt> vishal wat u mean?
[12:33] <phlak_user> krishna_: yes
[12:34] <Etherael> mechdave, ok, you know when a disk is full thrash on a read or write, the clicks are somewhat random, yes?
[12:34] <Etherael> this is like a frequency of about 10-20 ticks per second with exactly precise spacing between them.
[12:34] <Etherael> for a duration of 3 seconds.
[12:34] <{BG}Barbarian> I wish to upload a support image, is imageshack.us a good host, or is there some recommended paste bin for images?
[12:34] <Etherael> exactly, every time.

[12:36] <user_> I have a asus switch and I want to share internet with another machine, which has Xp. is it possible?
[12:37] <well_laid_lawn> !ics | user_
[12:37] <xylander> kto mi pomoże z tym cholernym xubuntu???
[12:37] <fgg> is its a router/firewall
[12:37] <well_laid_lawn> !pl | xylander
[12:38] <fgg> a normal switch usually won't work unless you get multiple ips
[12:38] <well_laid_lawn> maye it wasn't polish...
[12:38] <Bear10> is there a way to make a terminal open up from the directory your currently viewing?
[12:38] <user_> which means I need multiple network boards....?
[12:38] <well_laid_lawn> *maybe
[12:39] <basy> hi, how to disable staring postgres on reboot, i want to turn it on only when i need, how to do this?
[12:40] <krishna_> phlak_user, can you give me a command to recongigure x ?
[12:40] <krishna_> *configure
[12:40] <Zeu5> hi i have a problem
[12:40] <Zeu5> previously my ubuntu was working just fine
[12:40] <fgg> that would be more complicated, the internet machine has 2 netowkr boards and you plug the second host into the linux machine
[12:40] <Zeu5> after i did a update, my screen went blank
[12:40] <Zeu5> i then logged in with another user account, it was okay
[12:40] <well_laid_lawn> basy: is there a link for it in /etc/rc2.d?
[12:40] <fgg> you make the linux machine a router/firewall. its better to get a router/firewall
[12:41] <Zeu5> but when i change the resolution of that user account to 1024 X768 it went blank like my fiurst admin account
[12:41] <Zeu5> can someone tell me how do i fix this issue?
[12:41] <Zeu5> thank you.
[12:41] <fgg> you might have old configuration files around,
[12:41] <mechdave> Etherael, Can you create a swap partition on your disk roughly the same size as the amount of ram on your system?
[12:41] <fgg> in your home directory
[12:42] <Etherael> mechdave, I could.
[12:42] <fgg> i would renamee your current home directory as root and then log back in and move your files back carefully
[12:43] <basy> well_laid_lawn: yes it is there, i need to delete that file? and than i can simple start postgres with /etc/init.d/posgresql start (stop) ???
[12:43] <krishna_> can anyone give me a command to reconfigure  x ?
[12:43] <mechdave> Etherael, I wonder if because you don't have a swap it is doing something funny
[12:44] <lumen> :)
[12:44] <well_laid_lawn> basy: if you rename that link so it starts with K instead of S it won't start after boot
[12:44] <well_laid_lawn> basy: that's a capital K
[12:45] <{BG}Barbarian> I selected USB-ZIP, USB-FDD and USB-HDD as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd boot device, but it is still booting my old system, and not booting my usb stick :-/
[12:45] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card? sorry for reposting just trying to check every 10min or so if anyone new knows how to solve it :)
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> basy:  you may want tog et in the habbit of useing 'sudo service SERVICENAME start/stop/whatever'  not the /etc/init.d/ type method
[12:45] <krishna_> "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[12:45] <krishna_> this command
[12:45] <krishna_> does not open any window which asks for configuring

[12:55] <MrPicard> ive tried sudo apt-get openssl

[12:55] <MrPicard> but i cant seem to find it
[12:56] <fgg> what do you need openssl for?
[12:56] <jessy90> hello
[12:56] <well_laid_lawn> !find openssl
[12:56] <jessy90> What should take the alternative to firefox? in ubuntu 10.4?
[12:57] <MrPicard> fgg webmin
[12:57] <imglue> hello.
[12:57] <MrPicard> im on the rackspace cloud, its the only contorl pannel they currrently support
[12:57] <MrPicard> tried to run ebox and failed due to there own DNS servers
[12:57] <imglue> anyone can give me a tip regarding manual kernel installation?
[12:57] <MrPicard> i ran this command, apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
[12:58] <fgg> i don't think you need those
[12:58] <MrPicard> i do sadly.
[12:58] <well_laid_lawn> !webmin | MrPicard
[12:58] <MrPicard> http://cloudservers.rackspacecloud.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_-_Webmin_1.470
[12:58] <ikonia> webin is currently not supported
[12:58] <MrPicard> !ebox
[12:58] <ikonia> MrPicard: that package it not supported by this channel or the ubuntu community, contact rackspace for support
[12:58] <{BG}Barbarian> woa, this is amazing, my pc boots ubuntu in less then 2 seconds :-/
[12:59] <chris11_> so is there anyway to repair an install using files from an external hd? I installed 10.4, but part of it failed, so I only have access to the command line, no gui. And I have not had luck burning more cds, I keep getting errors.
[12:59] <MrPicard> shall do
[12:59] <blue_anna> when I boot up, I get paused at the keys:S to skip or M: to check manually -- I booted to live cd anbd ran fsck on all my drives in /etc/fstab and its still happening
[12:59] <{BG}Barbarian> can anyone recommend an irc client for ubuntu? I normally use chatzilla
[12:59] <ikonia> chris11_: how do you know the insall failed ? what error did you get during the install ?
[13:00] <dartt> xcaht
[13:00] <ikonia> {BG}Barbarian: there are many, search the package manager for irc and try some out
[13:00] <dartt> xchat*
[13:00] <dartt> its in synaptic
[13:01] <well_laid_lawn> chris11_: any network?
[13:01] <fgg> chatzilla is still available, xchat works too
[13:01] <chris11_> no errors at startup, I just can't get access to a gui, it boots into the command line. I do get errors when I try to load it
[13:01] <v2sun> quit
[13:01] <chris11_> I tried startx, but that command fails
[13:01] <ikonia> chris11_: ok so first thing first, are you sure you installed the desktop version and not the server version /
[13:01] <chris11_> yes, i386
[13:02] <ikonia> chris11_: secondly what video card do you have ?
[13:02] <sjokkis> after breaking my grub install, i've booted from a flash drive and chrooted to the root partition on my harddrive. i'm trying to run update-grub now, but it tells me "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).". anyone know what's up?
[13:03] <hawkal> If you have a standard ubuntu setup is there a way to boot into command line?
[13:03] <jrib> hawkal: forever?
[13:03] <chris11_> intel gma x3100, i've installed earlier versions of ubuntu before, I just don't currentl have the good live cd
[13:03] <hawkal> yes
[13:03] <hawkal> ie not via terminal
[13:03] <jrib> hawkal: what version of ubuntu?
[13:03] <hawkal> latest
[13:03] <well_laid_lawn> sjokkis: the partitions aren't mounted - use fdisk to check
[13:04] <jrib> hawkal: as in, lucid?
[13:04] <hawkal> yes
[13:04] <ikonia> chris11_: so you've got an ubuntu 10.04 desktop 32 bit install on a hard disk correct ?
[13:04] <jrib> !who | hawkal
[13:04] <chris11_> 64bit, but its a 64bit processor
[13:04] <jrib> hawkal: stop gdm from starting automatically.  You can do this either by renaming /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.conf.disabled or by adding "never" as a condition for it to start in /etc/init/gdm.conf
[13:04] <fgg> !tab
[13:04] <MrPicard> rackspace have given me this statement for the openssl package,  Unfortunately, that is beyond our level of support. Ubuntu has a large user support community with several walkthroughs on installing openssl.
[13:04] <chris11_> edit, no I think its 32bit
[13:04] <fgg> !ubottu
[13:05] <Rob215> ubottu /?
[13:05] <Rob215> !ubottu
[13:05] <hawkal> jrib: thank you
[13:13] <blue_anna> when I boot up, I get paused at the keys:S to skip or M: to check manually -- I booted to live cd anbd ran fsck on all my drives in /etc/fstab and its still happening -- I dont see anything I recognize in my log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/445087/

[13:19] <Zeu5> i am talkin on my laptop and working with the PC at the same time
[13:19] <blue_anna> dartt, :) nps
[13:19] <Zeu5> so wat do i do after puttin in the live CD?
[13:19] <Zeu5> reboot?
[13:19] <ZachK_> Zue5 well i'd do a full install
[13:19] <bnagy> heya, I have a problem with a bridge interface which is flapping on boot
[13:20] <Zeu5> Full install?
[13:20] <Zeu5> u mean a reformat?
[13:20] <bnagy> the slaved interface comes up, the brdge starts forwarding then the if goes down...
[13:20] <ZachK_> Zeu5: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/newtoubuntu/C/index.html
[13:20] <bnagy> it eventually stays up, after a random perid
[13:20] <jrib> Zeu5: what have you done since you installed?
[13:20] <blue_anna> Zeu5, don't reformat your data -- wait
[13:20] <Zeu5> alot..
[13:20] <kiamo> how can I mark or fix bad sectors so they don't get used?
[13:20] <Zeu5> i ve been banging my head trying to get wg311 to work. failed
[13:20] <jrib> Zeu5: like...? (we're trying to help you here)
[13:21] <blue_anna> Zeu5, you're getting a blank screen at boot -- does it go to the point where you'd expect X to start? or does it seem to halt earlier in the process?
[13:21] <vaagoh> how can I restore my panel (with main menu, time, etc.) since I accidentally removed it
[13:21] <jrib> !resetpanel | vaagoh
[13:21] <piyushmishra> anyone here experienced with php/mysql cron?
[13:21] <vaagoh> thanks
[13:21] <jrib> piyushmishra: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[13:21] <Zeu5> installed this Mac theme http://maketecheasier.com/turn-ubuntu-lucid-mac-os-x/2010/06/01
[13:21] <may_null> Hi, my friends want to burn 64 bit ubuntu to usb stick
[13:21] <ZachK_> kiamo: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/hdparm.8.html
[13:22] <may_null> but universal usb installer or something like that
[13:22] <Zeu5> and installed a bunch of programs like chrome
[13:22] <may_null> don't support ubuntu 64 bit
[13:22] <ZachK_> may_null: one sec my friend
[13:22] <may_null> sure
[13:22] <wessel> Does ubuntu come with a "run menu" ?
[13:22] <Zeu5> blue_anna: i get a blank screen after i successfully logged in
[13:22] <jrib> Zeu5: please address the person you are speaking to.  Also, try to keep your responses on a single line
[13:22] <Zeu5> at the login page i can still see
[13:22] <ZachK_> may_null: wait what doesn't support 64-bit
[13:22] <kiamo> thanks ZachK_,
[13:22]  * kiamo starts reading
[13:22] <may_null> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[13:22] <ZachK_> kiamo: it's hopefully what you need
[13:22] <Roderick> wessel, what do you mean?
[13:22] <jrib> wessel: what is a "run menu"?
[13:22] <Zeu5> jrib: sorry . let me try again
[13:22] <may_null> ZachK_: he couldn't find 6 bit ubuntu here
[13:22] <may_null> 64*
[13:23] <Imro456982> Hello, has anyone here any experience with Wifi problems in Ubuntu 9.10?
[13:23] <blue_anna> Zeu5, you get the graphical login from X widows, and once you start logging in it goes blank?
[13:23] <may_null> so how can he burn it to usb stick
[13:23] <ZachK_> Imro456982: not me
[13:23] <blue_anna> Zeu5, it's one of your startup applications
[13:23] <ZachK_> Imro456982: unless you need a proprietary driver
[13:23] <Zeu5> blue_anna: the moment i logged in i cannot see the screen
[13:23] <ZachK_> may_null: one sec
[13:23] <Zeu5> blue_anna: which one?
[13:23] <blue_anna> anyone know how to edit your start up app preferences from the CLI ?
[13:23] <blue_anna> Zeu5, let's figure it out.. just a minute
[13:23] <jrib> Zeu5: create a new user and verify everything works fine for that user
[13:23] <Imro456982> ZachK Id already downloaded a driver.
[13:23]  * jrib hands off to blue_anna to prevent confusion
[13:23] <blue_anna> that's a good idea
[13:23] <ZachK_> may_null: do you have access to an Ubuntu system
[13:23] <wessel> like alt + F2, but then more easy
[13:23] <blue_anna> no no
[13:24] <blue_anna> listen to jrib that was good :)
[13:24] <may_null> ZachK_:  what do you mean ?
[13:24] <Zeu5> jrib: i can say that the new user works perfectly. but the moment i switch the resolution to 1024 x 768 it went blank
[13:24] <vaagoh> it works like a charm, merci jrib
[13:24] <ZachK_> may_null: are you running a pc with ubuntu
[13:24] <vaagoh> worked even :-)
[13:24] <may_null> currently I'm using Pardus Linux
[13:24] <piyushmishra> I am trying to make a scheduled task manager kinda thing for a site. It will be used to run mailing list or db backups and various posts for twitter etc... I have a basic idea I wanted to discuss it with someone to be sure if I am going in the right direction
[13:24] <may_null> ZachK_: ^^
[13:24] <fgg> zeu5, why are you switching resolution?
[13:24] <Zeu5> jrib, blue_anna: previously 1024 x 768 resolution was working. now it isnt
[13:25] <ZachK_> may_null: ok....well it'd be easier if you were using an Ubuntu system as Ubuntu comes with a USB Startup disk creator...which does exactly what you're trying to do
[13:25] <Zeu5> fgg: its because in the new user the display was not aligned properly .. it went to one side. in my original user, i also changed it to 1024 x 768 without any problems
[13:25] <ZachK_> may_null: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[13:25] <jrib> Zeu5: what video driver are you using?
[13:26] <kiamo> ZachK_, hmm, im not sure.  I'm a bit lost with all this fs repair stuff.
[13:26] <Zeu5> jrib: i am not sure. how do you tell?
[13:26] <Zeu5> jrib: i really apologise for not being more versed. tihs is my very first try with iubuntu ever
[13:26] <jrib> piyushmishra: just explain your idea in the channel (on one line; use pastebin if you need to provide more details)
[13:26] <jrib> Zeu5: do you know what video card you have?
[13:27] <Zeu5> jrib: i think i used an onboard one. i cannot recall. the PC was put together > 7 years ago.
[13:27] <ZachK_> jrib have him run lspci
[13:27] <jrib> Zeu5: see ZachK_ .  Also, pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[13:27] <Zeu5> ZachK_: jrib: what is the lspci command to see the video card?
[13:28] <T1750> does ubuntu really make files called .ecryptfsrc
[13:28] <kiamo> oh.  just writing 0s to a bad sector repairs it?  So a slow format would also repair any bad sectors that exist on a disk?
[13:28] <T1750> ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FaYNHAkXI96gmURcMgLr8rHqnvyea7VgjpphL7pyqgOU03tTnMk1iDjgCamEaiASVIFou8l7fKreWVVxg8OvoFLI4Nhp8db4Yq.i80i80bnm-NYFoZmJMnKlmBVkj3oBxnZDPVAf8Kx7sN--
[13:28] <ZachK_> Zeu5: it'll list all the card controllers such as wireless and wired ethernet controllers, graphics
[13:28] <may_null> ZachK_:  which version exactly my friend need to install in netbootin , it shows 10.04_netInstall 10.04_hdmedia 10.04 live daily_live
[13:28] <T1750> these are not good file names
[13:28] <BluesKaj> Zeu5, lspci | grep VGA
[13:28] <blue_anna> I get an "disk mount issue-ish" pause at bootup with this as the last line in my dmesg "windfarm: Drive bay control loop started."
[13:28] <may_null> which one ?
[13:29] <ZachK_> may_null: just 10.04
[13:29] <AnxiousNut> which is lighter? KDE's plasma in Gnome or Screenlets in gnome?
[13:29] <Zeu5> BluesKaj: tks i go try now
[13:29] <may_null> ZachK_:  ok
[13:30]  * ZachK_ must go to bed as he's not had any sleep for 20 hours
[13:30] <fgg> kiamo, low level bad sectors are not repairable, the disk controller will map them out so you can't write to them
[13:30] <Zeu5> ZachK_: jrib: i canot see clearly because as i said the display is nto aligned properly. but from what i can read its VGA controller ATI technolgoies Inc RV350 AQ Radeon 9600
[13:30] <ZachK_> jrib ah what do ya know...lovely ATI
[13:31] <ZachK_> Zue5 you need a digital monitor cable
[13:31] <jrib> ZachK_: right
[13:31] <Rob215> Hello, I typing this from Windows 2000. I got the problem that it won't detect my wireless network card! Ubuntu 9.10 worked but Ubuntu 10.4 doesn't. Both installed from Wubi
[13:31] <jrib> (regarding ati)
[13:31] <Zeu5> ZachK_:  wat is a digital monitor cable?
[13:31] <ZachK_> Rob215: ok do you have access to a Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD
[13:31] <Rob215> yes
[13:31] <ZachK_> Zeu5: don't worry aboutit
[13:32] <kiamo> fgg, oh?  My fs regularly gets remounted as readonly, and then I have to reinstall ubuntu.  I thought maybe the bad sectors were causing the problem.  Could it be something else?
[13:32] <ZachK_> Rob215: ok you know how to do the "try without installing" right?
[13:32] <Rob215> ZachK: Ubuntu 10.04 works fine installed
[13:32] <wessel> can I use the caps key as an extra key so I can bind shortcuts to it?
[13:32] <fgg> kiamo, how do you know its bad sectors?
[13:32] <Rob215> ZachK: It is only the network problem
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  could be the whole HD going bad..
[13:32] <uchigo46373> i am unable to get my bul ray drive to work on my laptop in the 10.4 verson
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> !blueray
[13:33] <kiamo> i don't really know that that is the cause.  but the disk utility SMART data thing says there are 10 bad sectors.
[13:33] <Zeu5> ZachK_: what do you mean dont worry about it? wat do i do now? how do i pastebin /var/log/xorg.0.log?
[13:33] <ZachK_> Rob215: yes I know but if you do the "Try without Installing" option BEFORE installing it will recognize that you need a proprietary drive based on your card....you can then install that driver AND THEN install Ubuntu...it'll work fine
[13:33] <kiamo> Dr_Willis, maybe, but I dont have any spare cash for a new hdd right now :(
[13:33] <ZachK_> !pastebin | Zeu5
[13:33] <kiamo> my windows install works fine.  Never had any problems.  It just seems to be ubuntu. :(
[13:34] <fgg> kiamo, i missed it, whats the problem ?
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  i would be making some backups.
[13:34] <walkkenn> Help, just loaded netbook 10.4 into my acer aspire aoa-150 and when I turn it on it wants username/authentication which I didn't set up.  How do I get around this?
[13:34] <Zeu5> ZachK_:  hwo do i access /var/log/xorg.0.log? from this terminal i am at?
[13:34] <blue_anna> I get an "disk mount issue-ish" pause at bootup with this as the last line in my dmesg "windfarm: Drive bay control loop started." -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/445098/
[13:34] <kiamo> Dr_Willis, yea I have lol.
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  if theres some part of the hd that keeps having issues - you cold make some smaller partitions and not use the one that contains the questionable space.
[13:34] <uchigo46373> any one know where i can find drivers for it?
[13:35] <Rob215> Rob215: Can't do that now, don't have that many time + I want Ubuntu on the NTFS partition.
[13:35] <gimmickless_> Morning, y'all.
[13:35] <blue_anna> I ran fsck on sdb1 from livecd but still get this (it came up clean too)
[13:35] <ZachK_> Zeu5: you would type cd /var/log/xorg.0.log
[13:35] <walkkenn> Help, just loaded netbook 10.4 into my acer aspire aoa-150 and when I turn it on it wants username/authentication which I didn't set up.  How do I get around this?
[13:36] <kiamo> fgg, Over the last year i keep trying ubuntu from time to time, however, every time, after a day or two, my fs turns readonly, and i can boot back into the os.  Any attempts to fix it have failed and I've just reinstalled the os.
[13:36] <ZachK_> walkkenn: you had to have set up something
[13:36] <blue_anna> walkkenn, you had to create 1 username
[13:36] <Zeu5> ZachK_: its not a directory
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> walkkenn:  you installed it to a netbook? if so you gave it a user/password
[13:36] <blue_anna> walkkenn, use that
[13:36] <Tecna> is there a channel in which I may address the Ubuntu developers directly?
[13:36] <ZachK_> Tecna: why?
[13:36] <Rob215> ZachK_:  Can't do that now, don't have that many time + I want Ubuntu on the NTFS partition.
[13:36] <walkkenn> OK, username and password doesn't work
[13:36] <uchigo46373> help i can not get my cd drive to read at all
[13:36] <kiamo> Dr_Willis, that's an idea.  But how do I determine the locations of the bad sectors?
[13:36] <ZachK_> Rob215: ok
[13:36] <BluesKaj> Tecna, #ubuntu+1 might get you there
[13:36] <blue_anna> Christopher Walken was awesome
[13:37] <blue_anna> walkkenn, your name just reminds me of him :)
[13:37] <fgg> kiamo, it could be that the bad sectors are on the disk where ubuntu is
[13:37] <Zeu5> ZachK_: i am scared to use vi. last time i did that i get a blank screen and i did not know how to exit
[13:37] <blue_anna> Zeu5, use gedit instead
[13:37] <blue_anna> Zeu5, right from the commandline
[13:37] <Tecna> ZachK_: I have grievances regarding some claims and practices.
[13:37] <kiamo> fgg, I thought that.  Although, Ive been using that portion of the disk as storage space for my windows partition for months now.
[13:37] <Rob215> ZachK_: Heard something called Ndis... It uses your Windows Driver to access Internet.
[13:38] <blue_anna> oo -- you are in xwindows right?
[13:38] <jrib> Zeu5: install and use the "pastebinit" command
[13:38] <Zeu5> blue_anna: canot open display
[13:38] <walkkenn> mY username and password doesn't work
[13:38] <Zeu5> jrib: okie trying
[13:38] <blue_anna> Zeu5, try pico
[13:38] <blue_anna> Zeu5, it's easy, it behaves like a modern editor would
[13:39] <og01> how do i get pulse to defualt to using alsa plughw:0,1 ?
[13:39] <Zeu5> blue_anna: if pastebin it still doesnt work i will try pico
[13:39] <krishna_> can anyone please give a command to reconfigure the graphics ? i have been asking this same question for 50 minutes
[13:39] <fgg> kiamo, some problems are hard to figure out, i once had a system with lwindows 2000, and the windows 2000 partition kept getting corrupted, it turned out to be a slowly failing motherboard and not the disk drive
[13:40] <walkkenn> Just installed netbook 10.4 on my acer and username and password doesn't work.  How can I fix this?
[13:40] <BluesKaj> krishna_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:40] <tau> hey, my system sound isn't working , it worked when i installed at first time.
[13:40] <krishna_> BluesKaj, that command does not start a wizard ....
[13:41] <Zeu5> blue_anna, ZachK_ , jrib: sorry i forgot whom i needed to show this. so i am showing to you 3. sorry if disturbed anyone
[13:41] <walkkenn> Just installed netbook 10.4 on my acer and username and password doesn't work.  How can I fix this?
[13:41] <Zeu5> blue_anna, ZachK_ , jrib: sorry i forgot whom i needed to show this. http://pastebin.com/rnuzSA86  so i am showing to you 3. sorry if disturbed anyone
[13:41] <kiamo> fgg, ouch.. that sucks!  Hmm, so how can I go about isolating the problem.  I suppose getting another hard drive and seeing if the problem continues is a no brainer.  But I'd like to try and avoid the expense haha.
[13:41] <klaxo> hello, i have a 8gb 4g ipod nano that ubuntu seems to be recognizing and mounting as a Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd D-Wave 2GB MP4 Player / AK1025 MP3/MP4 Player... any way to fix this?
[13:41] <BluesKaj> krishna_, in the konsole
[13:41] <blue_anna> Zeu5, that's great, just do it -- you've got a pretty hard issue
[13:41] <bnagy> so I still have this bridge issue - the br0 interface just flags, the bonded interface comes up, the bridge enters listening mode and then the slave interface goes down
[13:41] <dartt> is thr a channel whr we can give direct suggestions to developers
[13:42] <bnagy> I have been playing with fd and maxwait and I think it makes a difference, I just can't nail setting that work
[13:42] <bnagy> bridge maxwait
[13:42] <krishna_> BluesKaj, in the terminal , it does NOT start a wizard :(
[13:42] <bnagy> woops ww sry
[13:42] <Zeu5> blue_anna: actually i have another issue its with my laptop. i went totally ubuntu overnight.. but this PC display issue is critical
[13:42] <blue_anna> dartt, use ubuntuforums
[13:42] <kiamo> fgg, If I can figure out the location of the bad sectors, I could try Dr_Willis suggestion and partition around them.
[13:42] <dartt> ok
[13:42] <wise_crypt> !sound > kau
[13:42] <jrib> Zeu5: this needs to be after having the blank screen issue.  Is that true?  And just so I understand, the issue:  Everything works fine until you change resolution. Once you do that, the screen goes black AFTER THE LOGIN SCREEN ONLY?  Is this true?
[13:43] <fgg> kiamo, there might be a few places to look, log files might have the problem why the system is mounting read only
[13:43] <BluesKaj> krishna_, are you on lucid ?
[13:43] <wessel> I wish to add an extra shortcut key for the "close window command", what should I type in the command box?
[13:43] <kiamo> yea... except i dont have them right now.  I figured I would try and fix it before the problem occurred again.  haha
[13:43] <og01> pulse is using the wrong audio device for output, how can i change it?
[13:43] <wise_crypt>  /j #ubuntu-beginners
[13:44] <wessel> any way I can see what command is being used?
[13:44] <jrib> wessel: check out wmctrl
[13:44] <Zeu5> jrib: the sequence is like this. Did an update in my original user. screen went BLACK. reboot. login screen okay. logged in. BLACK. REboot. Tried another user account. everything okay. Changed resolution. Black.Reboot. login okay. Then Black.
[13:44] <BluesKaj> krishna_, the xserver no longer uses a wizard on Lucid or Karmic afaik
[13:44] <Vigo> wesel: Have you ever looked at the Main Menu or gconf options?
[13:44] <blue_anna> wessel, you mean besides alt+f4 ?
[13:45] <wessel> yes
[13:45] <blue_anna> wessel, that's already set by default
[13:45] <fgg> kiamo, this is a recent reinstall?
[13:45] <wessel> an alternative to alt+F4
[13:45] <jrib> Zeu5: and what does Hardware Drivers say regarding drivers?
[13:45] <Zeu5> jrib: how do i access Hardware Drivers?
[13:45] <kiamo> fgg, yea, well It's not mounted right now.  Im using a live usb so I could fsck the fs
[13:45] <jrib> Zeu5: system → administration → hardware drivers
[13:46] <Vigo> wessel: Look at Main Menu , is easy GUI there.
[13:46] <Zeu5> jrib: i love to, but everything is now black , so i dunno how to acces system
[13:46] <blue_anna> wessel, where are you setting this, that you can set the command seperately? I'd like to see that myself :) -- It's probably going to be a keyword defined in XkeysymDB in /usr/share/X11 or somesuch
[13:46] <administrator__> hi
[13:46] <Zeu5> jrib: is there a way via terminal?
[13:46] <jrib> Zeu5: you said you could, but with some non-optimal resolution, no?
[13:46] <wessel> In keyboard shortcuts
[13:46] <administrator__> hello to all ubuntu users
[13:47] <Zeu5> jrib: unless i go create yet another new user account
[13:47] <wessel> error while trying to run (wmctrl)
[13:47] <jrib> Zeu5: sure
[13:47] <BluesKaj> krishna_, check this out , it works on lucid as well as karmic, http://ubuntulinux.co.in/blog/ubuntu/ubuntu-9-10/xorg-conf-file-create-on-ubuntu-9-10/
[13:47] <Zeu5> jrib: so u are asking me to create another new user via terminal yes?
[13:47] <Vigo> wessel: and here:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts
[13:47] <jrib> Zeu5: yes
[13:47] <fgg> kiamo, when i had my hard disk problem, i went to the hard disk manufacturere and downloaded a disk utility to scan the hard drive,
[13:47] <administrator__> my dig is buteffule
[13:47] <Zeu5> jrib: sorry to bother u again. wats the terminal command to do that?
[13:47] <jrib> Zeu5: sudo adduser USER
[13:47] <administrator__> dreas
[13:47] <administrator__> dw
[13:47] <administrator__> dwd
[13:47] <administrator__> wdw

[13:47] <administrator__> w
[13:48] <blue_anna> darn admins :P
[13:48] <dartt> abiword is really nice...i like fullscreen editor
[13:48] <fgg> kiamo. the disk test can read over the entire disk and other more invasive tests,
[13:48] <Zeu5> jrib: would that autoput USER under admin group?
[13:48] <kiamo> fgg, ill see what is available.  Good suggestion :)
[13:48] <jrib> Zeu5: no, you'll need to: sudo adduser USER admin
[13:49] <Zeu5> jrib: okay i go try. be back in 5 min
[13:49] <fgg> kiamo, but be careful, some options do a complete read write on the disk
[13:49] <jrib> Zeu5: btw, do you happen to know what packages got updated that started causing this?
[13:49] <klaxo> hello, i have a 8gb 4g ipod nano that ubuntu seems to be recognizing and mounting as a Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd D-Wave 2GB MP4 Player / AK1025 MP3/MP4 Player... any way to fix this?
[13:50] <Zeu5> jrib: i wish i knew. so i can answer u. its some popup screen asking me to update and i just update
[13:50] <fgg> kiamo, i side note fsck bad sectors may be caused from corruption, and are fixable
[13:51] <blue_anna> kiamo, parli italiano?
[13:51] <LjL> !it
[13:51] <blue_anna> kiamo, ciao :)
[13:51] <Mahjongg> hello, can I Gnome login a remote user on the remote machine, I do not want to get the display, just need the remote user to login to their system
[13:51] <kiamo> blue_anna, no i dont, sorry :)
[13:51] <Mahjongg> I can access the user through ssh
[13:51] <blue_anna> kiamo, I'm just learning :) I speak spanish and some portuguese
[13:51] <dancek> klaxo, does it affect functionality or is it just annoying? what does 'lsusb' say when it's plugged in?

[13:53] <wessel> hmm blue_anna this file is not really readable wessel@wegumar7:/usr/share/X11$ vim XKeysymDB
[13:53] <walkkenn> Just installed netbook 10.4 on my acer and username and password doesn't work.  How can I fix this?
[13:53] <kiamo> fgg, hmm, the bad sectors have existed before and after partition formats.  So they must be low level problems right?
[13:53] <prana_> anyone know here problems with installing ubuntu `? I bought new computer and cant install
[13:53] <kiamo> blue_anna, I just speak english hehe
[13:53] <wessel> XF86Close               :1008FF56
[13:53] <blue_anna> wessel, it's text mode -- find the X..blahblah..CloseWin..blahblah and use that :P
[13:53] <walkkenn> Just installed netbook 10.4 on my acer and username and password doesn't work.  How can I fix this?
[13:54] <blue_anna> wessel, the keyword is what you need .. so XF86Close sure
[13:54] <blue_anna> wessel, try that
[13:54] <fgg> kiamo, i don't know that much, but usually bad sectors get mapped out, so only low level disk utilities see them unless the table gets full
[13:54] <blue_anna> wessel, and then tell me where you are editing this so I can play along
[13:54] <BluesKaj> !patience |walkkenn
[13:54] <walkkenn> did that
[13:54] <klaxo> dancek, for my ipod to work in gtkpod, i need the iSerial from lsusb -v... but the value it shows is   iSerial                 3 ???K
[13:55] <kiamo> fgg, sounds like what this is then.  Disk utility picks up on them.  But fsck comes back clean
[13:55] <BluesKaj> walkkenn, reinstall and make sure you enter a username and password when prompted
[13:56] <Zeu5> jrib: i did this sudo adduser newuser admin it says the user `newuser` does not exist
[13:56] <nikunjm> @seek brandon sanderson
[13:56] <Shinydan> hello! Running 10.04; Firefox, Chrome and Epiphany crash before I can do anything with them.
[13:56] <jrib> Zeu5: you have to do: sudo adduser newuser    first
[13:56] <wessel> I'm not editing any files :-/ I'm using default GUI called "Keyboard Shortcuts"
[13:56] <nikunjm> @find brandon sanderson
[13:56] <Vigo> klamo: Have you ran any third party utilities like ddrescue or such?
[13:57] <blue_anna> wessel, it let's you set the action too? not just the key?
[13:57] <dancek> klaxo, are you absolutely certain it's a genuine Apple iPod Nano? just checking
[13:57] <kiamo> nope, not familiar with ddrescue, and I cant find any manufacturer tools.  Seems maybe toshiba dont offer something
[13:57] <fgg> kiamo, do you know the vendor of the disk?
[13:57] <kiamo> fgg, its a toshiba
[13:57] <Zeu5> jrib: okay done. how do i reboot safely from terminal ?
[13:57] <madurax86> did the new ATI 10.5 drivers work out for anyone? i didnt get it to work
[13:57] <wessel> yes
[13:57] <jrib> Zeu5: you should be able to get to gdm now with ctrl-alt-f8
[13:57] <Klojum> Anyone having experience with installing 10.04 on an Asus M3A78-EM in a RAID-setup? Ubuntu is unable to create the partitions on the RAID-disks. Is it possible that there is no default support for RAID on this motherboard?
[13:58] <blue_anna> wessel, oo I see it. wait ti's not gonna want that keysim, it wants a command --
[13:58] <klaxo> dancek, yes i am sure
[13:58] <walkkenn> When I reinstall in my netbook (I have a dual boot) how do I just overwrite the original installation only?
[13:58] <DBAlex> I'm on IRC via telnet.. wohoo!
[13:58] <Zeu5> jrib i press ctrl alt f8 nothing happened
[13:59] <kroson> walkkenn: you replace the new installation over the / of your first installation
[13:59] <kroson> do you have separate /home?
[13:59] <jrib> Zeu5: sudo reboot
[14:00] <wessel> well I figured I could just copy Close Window and add assign it another key bind
[14:00] <dancek> klaxo, that's weird, looking at http://google.com/search?q=ipod+nano+10d6:1101 there seem to be a lot of fakes/clones around with that chipset
[14:00] <Ricardo> Hey guys, can someone help me? I must find out what this image represents: http://www.desafionacional.com.br/dna_em/console/etapas/swf_pistas/pista_tecnologia_em.jpg
[14:01] <dancek> klaxo, also in http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids there are a couple of entries for nano 4G with vendor id 05ac (Apple, Inc.)

[14:02] <krishna_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg this command does not start the wizard in my friend's computer. please help
[14:02] <fgg> kiamo, thats too bad, you might try a 3rd party disk tool, but i don't have any recommendations
[14:02] <Imro456982> Hello, please, how can I delete Ubuntu 9.10 from my disc? I have it installed as the only system, I want to totally uninstall it and then install MS Windows with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS...
[14:02] <sheep73482_ipod> Gfg
[14:02] <kroson> Imro456982: do you have your data that you want to backup?
[14:02] <kiamo> fgg, yea, thanks for all your help though, much appreciated :)
[14:03] <wessel> oh well, I guess I leave this to the pros then, google isn't of much help either
[14:03] <fgg> fgg, your welcome,
[14:03] <jrib> Imro456982: just install windows and tell it to use the whole drive then
[14:03] <Imro456982> No, I installed it only yesterday.
[14:03] <fgg> kiamo, you welcome
[14:03]  * phlak_user is back
[14:03] <kroson> Imro456982: as jrib said, go with windows first, delete all the partitions you have and do a full install there
[14:03] <Imro456982> jrib - when I try to boot from Windows CD, it automatically runs Ubuntu
[14:04] <Gerwin> Imro456982: That's a Bios setting
[14:04] <Gerwin> Most likely
[14:04] <kroson> after installing 7, install ubuntu, and resize the partition of windows, giving the free space you want for ubuntu Xd
[14:04] <Vigo> Imro456982: Lot of manuals on that, first is install Windows, Format Drive MBR stuff, and stuff.
[14:04] <krishna_>  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg this command does not start the wizard in my friend's computer. please help
[14:04] <paulchain> anyone know how to fix the flickering Ubuntu does when you open certain programs or log in with the ATI 4650 video card? sorry for reposting just trying to check every 10min or so if anyone new knows how to solve it :)
[14:04] <blue_anna> wessel, do you want to close the window normally or kill the app? kill {pid of window} would work for the later
[14:05] <Imro456982> mg... How do I install Windows? Again, when I try to boot from Windows CD, it automatically runs Ubuntu.
[14:05] <klaxo> dancek, i bought my ipod nano inside original apple case with all the correct stickers and such, could it still be fake?
[14:05] <blue_anna> wessel, it's not easy! I can't find how what the reserved strings are for keyboard shortcuts so I don't know what you would pass to the command
[14:05] <kroson> Imro456982: you have to change the booting order of your devices in the bios
[14:05] <kiamo> hmm.  Moving onto a new problem.  How do I enable the grub menu?  I dont get a choice to boot into my windows partition :(
[14:05] <phlak_user> Imro456982: set your bios to boot from CD first
[14:05] <kroson> you have to set the BIOS to boot the DVD drive in first place
[14:05] <wessel> yes, I am also looking for the config file used by "keyboard shortcuts"
[14:05] <BluesKaj> walkkenn, you can install over the existing OS, by using the manual partitoning without formatting , all your default apps and settings will be retained , just remember to enter a username and pasword when prompted
[14:05] <kroson> before everything else
[14:05] <dancek> klaxo, yes, it could.
[14:06] <madurax86> Imro456982: you have to set the CD/DVD drive as 1st boot device, goto BIOS setup and change it
[14:06] <klaxo> dancek, how can you tell if it is then?
[14:06] <wessel> how do you know any way? what GUI is using what config file?
[14:06] <Imro456982> kroson, phlak_user: It boots from DVD, when I run boot menu, it asks me from where i want to boot. I choosed DVD RW Drive, and then... Ubuntu started.
[14:06] <dancek> klaxo, I'd definitely contact whomever sold it to you, and possibly you could also e-mail Apple to ask whether they have made ipods with that USB id
[14:06] <kroson> that means your DVD has no bootloader
[14:07] <Imro456982> Anyway, I want to install Win XP, not seven.
[14:07] <wessel> @ pid of window close, sure, let me try
[14:07] <student> hw2 update clamav?
[14:07] <phlak_user> Imro456982: do you have windoze or ubuntu on that DVD ;)
[14:07] <BluesKaj> !address
[14:07] <Vigo> Imro456982: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[14:07] <kroson> Imro456982: so go with XP
[14:07] <Imro456982> phlak_user: :) Funny.
[14:07] <BluesKaj> !nick
[14:08] <BluesKaj> !user
[14:08] <Imro456982> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation ?? I want to uninstall it.
[14:08] <phlak_user> Imro456982: has that windoze xp boot disk ever worked on any other pc/laptop before this?
[14:08] <student> ?
[14:08] <kiamo> XD  computer crashed.  Did I miss any replies?
[14:08] <Imro456982> phlak_user: ofcourse, on my previous notebook.
[14:09] <kroson> Imro456982: so it should work as well in that pc
[14:09] <phlak_user> Imro456982: is the DVD drive ok on this notebook?
[14:09] <Imro456982> Right, thanks, I will try bios... Again, thank you :)
[14:09] <Imro456982> Yes, it is.
[14:09] <Vigo> Imro456982: Yes, that page rather explains it, look at the bottom.
[14:10] <wessel> Vigo, do I really need to install xbindkeys-config ?
[14:10] <kroson> does anybody know how to install the newest 195.36.24 driver from nvidia, using a ppa?
[14:10] <kroson> tks
[14:11] <Vigo> wessel: Possibly, some macros may conflict, that is like a workaround/safe feature.
[14:12] <NightHwk> Does anyone know how to change the motd login screen on 10.04?
[14:12] <phlak_user> NightHwk: on a shell?
[14:12] <NightHwk> Yeah
[14:13] <phlak_user> NightHwk: edit /etc/issue
[14:13] <T1750> find Private -print0 | xargs -0 file >classify
[14:13] <T1750> making me do this is making me nto like you ubuntu
[14:13] <T1750> i should be able to decrypt my filenames
[14:14] <T1750> now i have to scan them all with the file command  to classify and rename them by hand
[14:14] <blue_anna> I get an "disk mount issue-ish" pause at bootup with this as the last line in my dmesg "windfarm: Drive bay control loop started.". I ran fsck on sdb1 from livecd but still get this (it came up clean too) -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/445098/
[14:15] <Zeu5> jrib, blue_anna: okay i am in the hardware drivers part wat do i do?
[14:16] <NightHwk> Phlax_user, I trying to change the motd. On 9.0 it use to be motd.tail
[14:16] <Shinydan> Is anyone else having browser stability problems with Flash 10.1 RC7?
[14:17] <Linfert> rebonjour'
[14:17] <phlak_user> NightHwk: IIRC it still is; man motd.tail tells you it is
[14:18] <pvncad> does anyone know how to reset irc nickserv password ?
[14:18] <Imro456982> Hello, I am back :/ :D
[14:18] <Imro456982> I have set as the first option boot from DVD in BIOS, Windows installation runed, but showed an error, and that I have to scan for viruses. Probably, it detects ubuntu as virus. What now?
[14:18] <jrib> pvncad: #freenode can help you with that
[14:18] <jrib> Zeu5: I must leave soon, but what does  the gui say?
[14:18] <Zeu5> jrib, blue_anna:no proprietary drivers
[14:19] <pvncad> jrib, thanks
[14:19] <phlak_user> Imro456982: its an old Windoze installation bug; you need to enable writing on boot record in the BIOS otherwise it wont work
[14:19] <Zeu5> jrib: who else can help me? Zach_k whoever he is has just left as well.
[14:19] <IdleOne> pvncad: also see /msg nickserv help but #freenode is the place to ask :)
[14:19] <phlak_user> blue_anna: are you on a mac by any chance?
[14:20] <NightHwk> Phlak_user,  So how do I change the contents?
[14:20] <Imro456982> phlak_user I will try :)
[14:20] <jrib> Zeu5: ok.  My advice is to check bugs.ubuntu.com for your issue.  I imagine it's something that has been reported.  As a workaround maybe try downgrading the video driver (you should have a .deb that  you can « dpkg -i » in /var/cache/apt/archives/).  I think the video driver is called radeon?  You'll need to find its package name.  If you do attempt to downgrade make sure it doesn't decide to break a
[14:21] <jrib> dozen other packages (i.e. pay attention to output).  If you need more help, just try again in this channel in a little bit
[14:21] <jrib> Zeu5: good luck, I'll probably be on later too
[14:21] <visvanath> Hi. I am a  ubuntu newbie. how do i drag the "computer" icon in places menu on to the desktop ?
[14:21] <visvanath> am i visible ?
[14:21] <blue_anna> phlak_user, yup
[14:21] <jrib> !icons > visvanath
[14:21] <NightHwk> !help
[14:22] <Guest81546> 有没有说中文 的？
[14:22] <phlak_user> NightHwk: that man page tells you that you need to create a /etc/motd.static which should be a symbolic link to /etc/motd so that its not regenerated at boot.. you could try this; I haent
[14:22] <phlak_user> !jp| Guest81546
[14:22] <bazhang> !cn | Guest81546
[14:22] <tsimpson> NightHwk: create the file if it doesn't exist
[14:22] <bazhang> Guest81546, /join #ubuntu-cn
[14:23] <Guest81546> 呵呵
[14:23] <phlak_user> blue_anna: oh ok; that windfarm message is pretty common
[14:23] <blue_anna> phlak_user, the part that bothers me is that it stops at boot right now at that message --asking me to skip or manually check a mount
[14:23] <visvanath> jrib, that bot message has zero use
[14:23] <phlak_user> blue_anna: i normally get mount waits with a message saying that a particular partition cannot be mounted (esp if it was a removeable disk with an entry in /etc/fstab
[14:24] <visvanath> how do i add "computer" icon to desktop like mycomputer of windows ?
[14:24] <blue_anna> phlak_user, ok -- no idea what causes it?
[14:24] <bazhang> visvanath, left click drag
[14:24] <phlak_user> blue_anna: you can elect to skip and check inside /etc/fstab to see if there is an entry for a disk/partition that shouldnt
[14:24] <_lorin> Is there any difference in 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' and 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade'?
[14:25] <NightHwk> Ok I'll try that
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> _lorin:  bash basics i think.. && -> command 2 wont run if command 1 fails... ; it will run
[14:25] <visvanath> bazhang, that doesnt work.
[14:25] <bazhang> visvanath, sure it does
[14:25] <visvanath> bazhang, ok. i try again
[14:25] <BluesKaj> visvanath, the menu structure is different in ubuntu , than windows
[14:25] <blue_anna> phlak_user, ther are removables that I added there, but I added them because I want to specificy where and how they mount
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> visvanath:  ubuntu-tweak and other tools let you tweak the gnome settings to show./hide those icons on the desktop
[14:26] <bazhang> BluesKaj, drag and drop works with that now
[14:26] <_lorin> And also, why does history -r, log out, log in, still show that you did history -r!!???
[14:26] <phlak_user> blue_anna: you should use pmount for that not /etc/fstab
[14:26] <blue_anna> phlak_user, and they are both noauto
[14:26] <Adamantus10> How do you get more wallpaper slideshows for Ubuntu please? I've been on the gnome-art site but there's only individual pics
[14:26] <blue_anna> phlak_user, pmount?
[14:26] <BluesKaj> bazhang, yeah but my computer on ubuntu ain't the same :)
[14:26] <phlak_user> !info pmount
[14:26] <visvanath> Dr_Willis, thanks. it worked. one click - done
[14:26] <blue_anna> phlak_user, I want to set defaults for where they mount, why shouldnt IU use fstab for that? that was the prupose for fstab so far as I know
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> Adamantus10:  you make a proper xml file to define the slideshow and you can make your own.
[14:27] <wessel> !java
[14:27] <_lorin> And also, why does history -r, log out, log in, still show that you did history -r!!???
[14:27] <bazhang> BluesKaj, kde4?
[14:27] <phlak_user> blue_anna: i know, but ever since I upgraded to Lucid, i started getting this "unable to mount" error so this is the workaround I found :)
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> Adamantus10:  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/easily-create-xml-wallpapers-with-xml.html
[14:28] <visvanath> Dr_Willis, thanks very much.

[14:28] <BluesKaj> bazhang, dunno , I never bothered with trying to emulate windows icons on linux , the menu is fine for my taste
[14:28] <Imro456982> phlak_user: You said that I have to enable "boot record" or what, right? I opened BIOS and there is not any option like that, so I enabled Quick Boot, but the problem repeats.

[14:29] <crash_388> hi
[14:29] <phlak_user> Imro456982: in older BIOSes, there used to be an option to prevent writing to boot sector and Windoze used to complain. I dont know if it is available on yours
[14:29] <_lorin> And also, why does history -r, log out, log in, still show that you did history -r!!???
[14:29] <phlak_user> !repeat

[14:30] <bazhang> !it | crash_388
[14:30] <_lorin> Dr_Willis: so no way to completely remove it?

[14:31] <Dr_Willis> _lorin:  remove what? if you want to disable history then disable history.
[14:31] <phlak_user> Imro456982: sure, just run sudo fdisk /dev/sda and then delete all partition; create a new one, write and exit

[14:34] <phlak_user> Imro456982: nope i didnt; but i dont think theres any problem if you did this
[14:34] <Imro456982> phlak_user: then thank you very much. I will try it from terminal..
[14:35] <Imro456982> BTW, how do I delete partitions? I am really a newbie... Runed sudo fdisk /dev/sda, what now?
[14:35] <eryn_1983> anybody know what this mean on ssh
[14:35] <eryn_1983> debug3: channel 0: status: The following connections are open:
[14:35] <eryn_1983>   #0 client-session (t4 r0 i3/0 o3/0 fd -1/-1 cfd -1)
[14:35] <phlak_user> Imro456982: i finally dug out the article that talks about boot sector protection in BIOS --> http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/virwarn.htm
[14:35] <arand> Imro456982: Would recommend using gparted instead.
[14:35] <eryn_1983> its preventing me from using sftp i can use ssh just fine
[14:36] <phlak_user> Imro456982: if you are a newbie; dont play with fdisk; use parted or gparted
[14:36] <Imro456982> phlak_user: thanks
[14:36] <Imro456982> arand: I tried GParted, but dont know how to delete that partitions. just click on one and "Delete" doesnt work...
[14:37] <arand> Imro456982: If it doesn't there, using fdisk is likely a bad idea... was the parititon mounted?
[14:37] <bdesk> hi i have a 64 bit ubuntu and i want to run a 32 bit app.  it wants libfoo, and when i run ldd app, it is finding its libs in /lib32 and /usr/lib32.  so how should i install this libfoo?  apt-get seems to install the 64 bit version because i am using 64 bit ubuntu.
[14:37] <phlak_user> Imro456982: are you trying to delete the partitions of a running system
[14:38] <Greek-Boy> my gconf says it filed to connect to the configuration server, I get something like Conf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_free: assertion `value != NULL' failed. i googled but can't seem to find a solution for my case. This started happening after distro-upgrade when trying to run mythbackend
[14:38] <Imro456982> arand: i think the partition is mounted.
[14:38] <Imro456982> But look. I have Gparted opened, I see there 3 partitions.  ext4, extended and linux_swap. But cant delete anything... like I have to run it as root or what...
[14:38] <NightHwk> phlak_user: Didn't work
[14:38] <Imro456982> I see there a "Delete", but its not clicable.
[14:38] <Imro456982> clickable*
[14:39] <arand> Imro456982: Why are they mounted, are you using the system they reside on, or are you using a liveCD?
[14:39] <Imro456982> I am not using LiveCD. Its installed.
[14:39] <phlak_user> NightHwk: did writing to /etc/motd.tail work? just tested it
[14:40] <NightHwk> ok
[14:40] <arand> Imro456982: Then of course you can't delete them, since it would delete the installed system you are already running.
[14:40] <phlak_user> Imro456982: you need to boot off a livecd or usb and then run gparted
[14:40] <BluesKaj> Imro456982,  you can't edit the OS/partition you are running
[14:40] <arand> Imro456982: By the way, why exactly do you want to delete them?
[14:41] <Imro456982> Okay, so, I can just run Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD, open GParted and delete them? Thats all? And create a new one? btw I want to delete them because I want to install also MS Windows, and then Ubuntu 10.04.
[14:41] <wessel> !java
[14:42] <Pip> Hello, is there any way to install ubuntu from an ISO image located on hard drive ?
[14:42] <BluesKaj> Imro456982, yes that's the method
[14:42] <bdesk> Hi, how do i install a 32 bit library on a 64 bit ubuntu?
[14:42] <Imro456982> BluesKaj: right, I will try it... thank you for now ;)
[14:42] <arand> Imro456982:  easiest way is to simply let the windows installer take care of wiping the whole disk, which it should be able to do.. Provided you don't want to save anyithing on it of course...
[14:42] <antivirtel> !webcam > attila
[14:43] <antivirtel> !webcam > attila38
[14:43] <Imro456982> arand: the windows installer cant boot. it detects a "virus" - ubuntu and cant continue.
[14:43] <antivirtel> !webcam > antivirtel
[14:43] <NightHwk> phlak_user: Thanks it work :}
[14:43] <wessel> hmm, can someone give me the command to install java? sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre doesn't work, sudo aptitude install java-package installs something else :-/
[14:43] <BluesKaj> Imro456982, actually running a gparted livecd is best, the ubuntu live cd isn't as easy to use as an partition editor
[14:44] <kroson> !java
[14:44] <kroson> or simply install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:44] <bazhang> wessel, activate the partner repo
[14:44] <bazhang> !partner | wessel
[14:44] <derspankster> Upgraded to Lucid and now occasionally my window decoration fails to load at boot correctly. Run Compiz and boot to gtk.
[14:44] <arand> Imro456982: Hmm, since when did the windows installer care about viruses?
[14:44] <Imro456982> BluesKaj: I know, I tried LiveCD today about 5 times, when I was trying to run Wifi... thats why I am uninstalling 9.10 - Wifi doesnt work. Thanks. Ill return if it wont work ;)
[14:45] <BluesKaj> Imro456982, do you have gparted live cd?
[14:45] <Imro456982> arand: I dont know :) I just got a blue screen and "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. ........... etc"
[14:45] <liuxu> hello
[14:45] <Imro456982> BluesKaj: I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live cd. There isnt gparted or what?
[14:46] <liuxu> 你们都是外国人吗？
[14:46] <Pip> :D
[14:46] <bazhang> !cn | liuxu
[14:46] <wessel> the restricted extras worked
[14:46] <Vigo> !gparted
[14:46] <BluesKaj> Imro456982, gparted ia available as a live cd separately , just DL and burn the iso
[14:46] <liuxu> china
[14:46] <liuxu> ？
[14:46] <bazhang> liuxu, /join #ubuntu-cn
[14:46] <BluesKaj> thanks Vigo
[14:46] <Imro456982> BluesKaj: could you give me a download link? Im sure I wont find it myself...
[14:46] <kroson> wessel: it installs java and many other proprietary codecs
[14:47] <BluesKaj> Imro456982, look at Vigo post above
[14:47] <bazhang> Imro456982, check distrowatch.com its 60MB iso
[14:47] <BluesKaj> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php , Imro456982
[14:47] <Imro456982> Ah, yes. Thank you. Downloading.
[14:47] <Imro456982> Wait a minute.
[14:48] <Imro456982> If I run ubuntu 10.04 LTS LiveCD, how do I run gparted live cd? i have only one DVD mechanic.
[14:48] <Imro456982> drive*
[14:48] <Daekdroom> You don't have to run both
[14:48] <bdesk> ok i eventually figured out that you can apt-get install lib32foo instead of libfoo to force it to get the 32 bit version.
[14:48] <Daekdroom> GParted Live CD is an OS itself
[14:49] <Imro456982> Daekdroom I just heard that its not... :D :D Everybody has its own idea..
[14:49] <Imro456982> Right, I am moving to Live CD...
[14:49] <Imro456982> Thanks.
[14:50] <T1750> do any of you use home directory encryption?
[14:50] <kroson> ppl is x-swat a stable repo for nvidia drivers?
[14:50] <kroson> or should i keep with the default version of the proprietary driver in lucid?
[14:50] <BluesKaj> Imro456982, use the gparted live cd firsat to edit your partitions , then when you run the ubuntu install just use the manual partitioning option to install to the partition you formatted for linux , but if you dual boot install windows first then ubuntu
[14:50] <liuxu> how get chinese xchat？
[14:50] <T1750> is there anyone here who has their home directory encrypted with ecryptfs
[14:51] <liuxu> I don't know
[14:51] <T1750> if you do please say yes i do i want to ask of you a question
[14:51] <BluesKaj> !cn | liuxu
[14:51] <liuxu> yes
[14:51] <Greek-Boy> my gconf says it filed to connect to the configuration server, I get something like Conf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_free: assertion `value != NULL' failed. i googled but can't seem to find a solution for my case. This started happening after distro-upgrade when trying to run mythbackend
[14:51] <T1750> liuxu: so you do use it?
[14:52] <BluesKaj> liuxu, they'll know
[14:52] <KurtKraut> I have a small computer network (5 PCs running Ubuntu). How can I unify logins, passwords and home folders?
[14:52] <liuxu> My english
[14:52] <liuxu> bad
[14:52] <bazhang> liuxu, chinese language in #ubuntu-cn
[14:53] <piyushmishra> how can I download all packages I have installed on my ubuntu to keep and Install again offline or how can I make a new installation disk of ubuntu with all settings and softwares it has in its present state?
[14:53] <liuxu> thinks
[14:53] <liuxu> I know
[14:53] <bazhang> !aptoncd | piyushmishra
[14:53] <Pip> liuxu: then why are you here ?
[14:53] <liuxu> china
[14:53] <Pip> liuxu: do you use ubuntu ?
[14:53] <piyushmishra> !offline| piyushmishra
[14:53] <bazhang> liuxu, here is ubuntu support only
[14:53] <liuxu> yes
[14:54] <bazhang> Pip, no need for that
[14:54] <liuxu> haha
[14:54] <bazhang> liuxu, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic  chinese in #ubuntu-cn
[14:54] <nicalvaro> is there a reason why keyserver.ubuntu.com appears to be down to me ?
[14:54] <Pip> bazhang: I thought he is a bot
[14:54] <liuxu> where are you Pip
[14:54] <LjL> nicalvaro: probably becuse it's down!
[14:54] <bazhang> liuxu, this is not a chat channel, as I have told you.
[14:54] <Pip> liuxu: that's offtopic
[14:55] <nicalvaro> Aha!
[14:55] <BluesKaj> piyushmishra, you can reinstall and save your default apps and settings if you install on the existing partition with manual partitioning without formatting
[14:55] <nicalvaro> http://keyserver.ubuntu.com says "It Works!"
[14:56] <BluesKaj> piyushmishra, with the live cd
[14:56] <liuxu> bot? what,s mean?
[14:56] <Pip> Okay, guys, I have this question: right now, I have a computer with a window partition of about 10G, a USB stick of 1G, I want to install ubuntu on that partition, no burning CD
[14:56] <IdleOne> liuxu: bot is a abreviation for robot
[14:57] <bazhang> Pip, try unetbootin
[14:57] <Pip> I don't have 2G USB stick, is that possible ?
[14:57] <IdleOne> Pip: you need a USB of 2gig minimum I think but you can try what bazhang suggested
[14:57] <liuxu> oh , I know
[14:57] <Vigo> !usb | Pip
[14:57] <Pip> So that can't be done unless I have a 2G stick ?
[14:58] <IdleOne> Pip: try and find out
[14:58] <jugglerbry> hi all.  i'm in the process of creating a website for complete newbies to ubuntu, and wondered if i could get some constructive feedback ? either through here, or via contact us form on the site ? would anyone mind if I posted the url here ?
[14:58] <bazhang> seems not if IdleOne is correct, Pip ; I always use much larger ones as 1GB are not sold here
[14:58] <HaakonKL> Anyone here know about which programs can change the update frequency of your monitor?
[14:58] <Vigo> Pip: You can always do a minimal and or Live Install.
[14:58] <bazhang> jugglerbry, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:59] <CT1> Hi. How can I mount this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/yfzH34ej disk at every boot?
[14:59] <jugglerbry> ok thanks for that bazbang, will do.  although tis ubuntu related, hence asking here too :-)
[14:59] <piyushmishra> blueskaj: If I have to install using the same settings and packages I have right now on a diff hard disk? I am actually going to do that once I move back to my hostel
[14:59] <Zeu5> how to go to trash from terminal?
[15:00] <bazhang> !trash | Zeu5
[15:00] <BluesKaj> piyushmishra, not a diff hdd, on the same partition .
[15:01] <Pip> Vigo: minimal installation is exactly what I want :D
[15:01] <piyushmishra> blueskaj: I think aptoncd is good just that I cant keep my updates also that will need a redownload
[15:01] <Vigo> Pip: Right, it seems to fit what you were asking.
[15:01] <mobo5686> CiaU gente di Ubuntu!
[15:01] <LjL> !it | mobo5686
[15:02] <Pip> Vigo: But the next step is to look for the minimal installation ISO
[15:02] <BluesKaj> piyushmishra, sorry, i must have misunderstood
[15:02] <Vigo> Pip: I am fetching the link now...
[15:02]  * arsak Good afternoon.
[15:02] <mobo5686> ahh ok !
[15:02] <Pip> thanks
[15:02] <CT1> Hi. How can I mount an ntfs partition at every boot automatically?
[15:03] <melrokz> I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on i845 h/w : Error is a blank screen with these words written all over : could not write bytes: broken pipe.
[15:03] <piyushmishra> blueskaj: no that info was cool too as that will help me reinstall if I have some error
[15:03] <piyushmishra> CT1 1+
[15:03] <BluesKaj> !fstab | CT1
[15:03] <CT1> BluesKaj: thankyou
[15:03] <melrokz> I've KMS enabled
[15:03] <Vigo> Pip: here is one: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[15:04] <IdleOne> !minimal | Pip
[15:04] <mobo5686> ok so good this channel!
[15:04] <Pip> thanks, let me check it
[15:04] <Pip> great
[15:05] <Vigo> Pip: See section 2?
[15:05] <Pip> Vigo: the USB way ?
[15:05] <mobo5686> ma rispetto e dccmule... è più complesso, che cambia ?
[15:06] <piyushmishra> 13 mb lol
[15:06] <mobo5686> sorry
[15:06] <Vigo> Pip: Yes, I am also looking up the alternate CD,
[15:06] <Pip> Vigo: I think after reading IdleOne 's offer, and apply the USB way is the WAY
[15:06] <Pip> let me check the size of the alternate CD
[15:06] <mobo5686> but is similar or has more difficult??
[15:07] <Pip> Oh, no, alternate is big
[15:07] <piyushmishra> can we use the minimal cd and choose apps and make a cd out of the apps and upgrades?
[15:08] <Pip> I need minimal ISO :D
[15:08] <IdleOne> mobo5686: you are welcome to stay here but you have to speak English in this channel. In #ubuntu-it you can speak in Italian if that is easier for you
[15:08] <IdleOne> !remaster | piyushmishra
[15:08] <wessel> how can I access my windows pc which is in the same network ?
[15:08] <IdleOne> !samba | wessel
[15:09] <mobo5686> i copy but is difficult in english...
[15:09] <Vigo> Pip: I agree with IdleOne on that also,
[15:10] <IdleOne> mobo5686: /join #ubuntu-it e poi parlare in italiano tante que voi
[15:10] <piyushmishra> apart from no GUI whats the diff between a server n normal installation for ubuntu?
[15:10] <Imro45112> Hello. I tried to do what you told me, delete that partitions. But only first partition could be deleted, and now, I cant restore it. Other partitions couldn't be deleted. This is how it looks: http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/149/screenshottk.png ... What I have to do now, please? [previously, I asked how to delete Ubuntu from my disc, how totally formate it and then install MS Windows]
[15:10] <Vigo> Pip: Here is the Alternate Installer, LiveCD and stuff, http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/10.04/:but that USB page rocks it
[15:11] <mobo5686> ok thanks is good this site for start...
[15:11] <nino> le sabbie del tempo
[15:11] <wessel> why doesn't this work be default? :-/
[15:11] <Pip> Vigo: the URL is broken
[15:11] <IdleOne> wessel: what do you mean?
[15:11] <Pip> Anyway, I see lot of minial.iso on that page from IdleOne
[15:11] <Vigo> Pip: http://ubuntu-releases.eecs.wsu.edu/
[15:12] <Vigo> Pip: These are USA mirrors,
[15:12] <mobo5686> Thanks idleOne !!
[15:12] <piyushmishra> Pip: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/10.04/
[15:12] <Pip> Okay
[15:12] <Vigo> Pip: You can select a mirror here: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download
[15:12] <wessel> I would imagine it being possible to access other pc's in the network by default
[15:12] <wessel> but i'm off to install samba now
[15:13] <IdleOne> wessel: sharing other pc's is not default in any OS as far as I know
[15:13] <BluesKaj> piyushmishra, that waterloo repos is as slow as molasses in jan ...i used to use it :)
[15:13] <KristianDK> How do i give apache access to a file, in a users directory without giviing other users access to it?
[15:13] <IdleOne> wessel: that would be a security risk to share your files by default.
[15:14] <wessel> not sharing !
[15:14] <wessel> access
[15:14] <IdleOne> wessel: lol ok even greater risk
[15:14] <wessel> what? :-/
[15:14] <HaakonKL> wessel: Are you slightly insane? If other people could read files then they would have read access.... :S
[15:14] <wessel> the windows pc is sharing files to any pc in my home network
[15:14] <testrun> hello all you good people
[15:15] <wessel> of course it prompts for passwords
[15:15] <frxstrem> is there a way to manually change the program associated with a file type with gconftool?
[15:15] <HaakonKL> javac
[15:15] <IdleOne> wessel: what of someone is able to get on your home network without your knowledge. If they have access by default to all your other computers and the files on the computer that is a security risk
[15:15] <testrun> can libnotify osd be used to rss feed? So that the information bubbles would show rss feed news? any one has any good tips?
[15:15] <wessel> well then they are inside my house
[15:15] <wessel> and they need to know my password
[15:16] <IdleOne> wessel: there is also the fact that windows and linux don't play nice. so samba was created to make them play nice with each other
[15:17] <shabbs> There is something strange going on with our downloads from ubuntu mirrors for apt. Any time we do an apt-get update/upgrade and things start downloading, they will go at about 150K/s for maybe 5-10 seconds, then it drops off to 48K then to 12K and finally to about 5000B/s. It happens to every ubuntu machine on the specific network, it's to the point where updates are almost impossible without stopping/starting the process a million times
[15:18] <shabbs> I'm wondering if this is a mirror issue or a local network issue? I'm thinking the latter, as our other network does not have this problem.
[15:18] <shabbs> Though the strange thing is that on the network where things drop off, I can log on to a website and download a 300 meg file and it'll go full speed the whole time
[15:18] <shabbs> it only appears to be apt that is having this issue
[15:19] <Kottizen> Hi, I'd like to make distro based on Ubuntu. Any tip on how?
[15:21] <visvanath> there are some many options for ubuntu  during boot.. and too many recovery.. how do i remove them and have only one ?
[15:22] <ddrone> hello everybody
[15:22] <visvanath> ddrone, hello.
[15:22] <chris|> visvanath, the will be removed when you remove the old kernels
[15:22] <og01> visvanath: look in /boot/grub/
[15:22] <ddrone> does anyone here uses google chrome?
[15:22] <og01> visvanath: look in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[15:23] <testrun> is there a rss newsreader that gives feeds in the notify bubble of ubuntu?
[15:23] <visvanath> chris|, og01 , lplease talk to me in a way that ubuntu newbie can understand. i have intsalled ubuntu only three days back. all these years i used only windows.. i don't undertand what you are saying
[15:23] <ddrone> i'm asking because i have problem with google chrome in ubuntu
[15:24] <og01> visvanath: i will chat to you in private then
[15:24] <chris|> og01, there is no menu.lst with grub2
[15:24] <chris|> remember that
[15:24] <og01> ahh ok yeah
[15:24] <Zeu5> hi i would like to remove a user account how do i do that while maintaining the programs i have installed?
[15:24] <servus_hi_gruess> so can help me installing unix drivers on ubuntu?
[15:24] <visvanath> chris|, can you tell me if og01 does not know......
[15:24] <visvanath> *help

[15:24] <_lorin> Hi is there a documentation page on adding multiple IP addresses on the same interface using Ubuntu 10.04LTS?
[15:25] <jukhz> is there any voice recognition apps out there in deb packages?
[15:25] <Imro45112> Hey. I am deleting partitions by gparted, all deleted and created one new, but at the down of the program is 4 operations pending. When I close gparted, changes does not save. How do I save them please?
[15:25] <visvanath> chris|, without deleting the karnals or whatever that is . how do i just remove the entry in boot menu ?
[15:25] <HaakonKL> Imro45112: Do you hit the "apply" or button?
[15:25] <kroson> will ooffice 3.2.1 hit lucid?
[15:26] <og01> visvanath: i dont have grub2 but i can help walk you through it
[15:26] <Imro45112> haakonKL: ah, not, I am idiot, thank you >D
[15:26] <evilmercenary> hi, dont know if anyone here can help me: i'm thinking about installing ubuntu in wubi as my main linux installation.....
[15:26] <evilmercenary> is there anything i need to consider before i do it?
[15:26] <chris|> visvanath, take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Where did my Grub2 boot menu go!?!?!
[15:26] <chris|> and replace the XXX with 0
[15:27] <chris|> then ubuntu will start without showing you the menu at all
[15:27] <HaakonKL> evilmercenary: wubi is slightly slower than native install, and you cannot access the windows partitions from wubi.
[15:27] <IdleOne> evilmercenary: wubi is good for testing but if you plan on using it long term as your main OS you may want to consider doing a !dualboot
[15:27] <IdleOne> !dualboot | evilmercenary
[15:28] <evilmercenary> i'm having problems with doing that as, i dont want to lose any data, and i only have one hard drive.....
[15:28] <evilmercenary> and i know that there is some fragmented data at the end of my drive.....
[15:28] <IdleOne> evilmercenary: defrag :)
[15:28] <evilmercenary> it wont unfragment =/
[15:29] <IdleOne> evilmercenary: also make a backup of your data (always a good idea)
[15:29] <jukhz> evilmercenary: chop it off :)
[15:29] <yu> hi everyone
[15:30] <IdleOne> evilmercenary: well you can install wubi, it installs like any other .exe in windows and can be removed from the add/remove application in windows
[15:30] <evilmercenary> i'm using piririform defraggler, and i can tell which files are actually fragmented
[15:30] <_lorin> Hi is there a documentation page on adding multiple IP addresses on the same interface using Ubuntu 10.04LTS?
[15:30] <qm7> hello
[15:30] <evilmercenary> yeah IdleOne ...thats the only reason i'm considering wubi
[15:30] <izik> can i make the wifi work without login into X session?
[15:30] <wessel> /etc/init.d/samba: command not found     hmm, do I need to restart my pc after installing samba?
[15:31] <qm7> _lorin: may I ask you what you need to do that for?
[15:31] <IdleOne> evilmercenary: but like it was said earlier, it will be slower then a native install. still good for getting an idea of how Ubuntu works
[15:31] <_lorin> qm7: I have multiple ips available.. need to set them up?
[15:31] <IdleOne> evilmercenary: depending on your hardware you may not even notice the slowness
[15:31] <evilmercenary> i used to use ubuntu as my main install, so i know how it works though ^^
[15:31] <_lorin> _lorin: only one in /etc/network/interfaces now. but i have a block!
[15:32] <qm7> _lorin: is that like for  a website?
[15:32] <achilles> i want to install ia32-lib in ubuntu without using internet connection is it possible..?
[15:32] <wessel> be right back, restarting
[15:32] <evilmercenary> i used to use ubuntu as my main install, so i know how it works though ^^ IdleOne
[15:32] <qm7> _lorin: you're talking to yourself
[15:32] <jukhz> is there any voice recognition apps out there in deb packages?
[15:32] <qm7> linux has voice recognition?!
[15:32] <_lorin> qm7: i need to setup multiple ips.. is there a document for this?
[15:33] <jugglerbry> hi all.  i'm in the process of creating a website for complete newbies to ubuntu, and wondered if i could get some constructive feedback ? either through here, or via contact us form on the site ? would anyone mind if I posted the url here ?
[15:33] <palki> I need help understanding the following iptables rules: ACCEPT     all  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0
[15:33] <palki> REJECT     tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:51 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
[15:33] <evilmercenary> in fact, i still have my old ubuntu main install.....it's a regualr install done to a USB external HDD (500GB)...it's on the logical partition IdleOne.....but since i got my new PC, despite bios updates i keep getting Grub error 18
[15:33] <palki> What does ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 mean?
[15:33] <Azalis> anyone know how to setup so java works in Konqueror?
[15:33] <qm7> _lorin: may I ask why you need to do that? (By the way I can't really answer your question, I'm just curious)
[15:34] <oCean_> palki: maybe ask in #netfilter
[15:34] <palki> oCean_:thanks
[15:34] <evilmercenary> does anyone here know how to fix that grub error 18? IdleOne ?
[15:35] <Xzil0> evilmercenary are you trying to dual boot with windows?
[15:35] <evilmercenary> i've been able to boot it from various PCs just by selecting to boot from the ext HDD.....
[15:35] <evilmercenary> ...
[15:35] <Azalis> I just installed the newest jdk and now i need to get konqueror to recognize where the jre is, do i just tell it where the java runtime directory would be?
[15:35] <evilmercenary> Xzil0, i'll begin at the beginning:
[15:35] <evilmercenary> erm
[15:36] <evilmercenary> i've used ubuntu as my main install before, but i'm sconsidering installing it again
[15:36] <oCean_> evilmercenary: try to keep description in one single line, please
[15:36] <LjL> jukhz, qm7: for large-vocabulary recognition, there is Sphinx, but it's not really ready for prime time i believe.
[15:36] <evilmercenary> ok oCean_
[15:37] <LjL> !info julius | jukhz you can also try this, i have no experience with it though
[15:39] <jukhz> tanks, LjL
[15:39] <evilmercenary> i tried my old ubuntu 9.04 install, which is on the logical partition of a 500GB external HDD, and i got grub boot error 18 on startup despite being able to boot it on many PCs before.....also, i'd definately do a full install of ubuntu on my main HDD alongside windows, but there are fragmented files at the end of my drive, which will not defragment, no matter what i try to do.
[15:39] <evilmercenary> hopefully thats a bit better as an explanation.
[15:39] <SwedeMike> evilmercenary: the ubuntu installer will offer to shrink your windows partition regardless, it'll move the files.
[15:40] <SwedeMike> evilmercenary: or it's the installer that wont move them (when you say fragmented files wont degrafment)
[15:40] <SwedeMike> defragment
[15:40] <Azalis> Anyone else have trouble getting java applets to run in Konqueror?
[15:41] <evilmercenary> =/ i'm trying to defragment from within windows actaully.... SwedeMike..... didnt think the ubuntu installer would move the files....
[15:41] <ReHsArK> anyone can help me? i can't boot up my ubuntu 10.4 rig! after choosing the kernel in grub the screen goes black and it shows a message saying "Out
[15:41] <evilmercenary> but SwedeMike , wouldnt that mean that the files would be rendered unusable in windows?
[15:42] <ReHsArK> "Out Of Range"... i suspect its trying to use a resolution too high for my system
[15:42] <simon_> hey all
[15:42] <SwedeMike> evilmercenary: no, it's probably that windows are using the files and thus wont move them when it's running, linux wont be running files on the windows partition, thus they can be moved then.
[15:42] <simon_> iam trying to get my mouse to work in ubuntu 9.10
[15:42] <simon_> fresh install
[15:42] <nerdy_kid> i managed to screw up my user account, is there anyway to fix it?  any temp files i can rm besides /tmp/ and /var/tmp/?  ive removed all my hidden files to.
[15:42] <simon_> i have a pointer but it wont move
[15:43] <evilmercenary> what i mean, SwedeMike , is, will the files be still usable by windows after the installation of ubuntu has finished?
[15:43] <T1750> is there anyone here who has their home directory encrypted with ecryptfs
[15:43] <SwedeMike> evilmercenary: yes, they should be.
[15:43] <SwedeMike> !anyone | T1750
[15:43] <oCean_> T1750: better ask your real question. Try to keep description in one single line
[15:44] <nerdy_kid> T1750 i do but have no idea about how it works lol
[15:44] <evilmercenary> SwedeMike: do i need to select any specific options to be able to have the files moved without destroying them?
[15:44] <SwedeMike> evilmercenary: the default is to keep files intact, I've done several installs and it's always "just worked".
[15:44] <T1750> ubottu: OK then, does anyone have a file in their home directory called .encryptfsrc
[15:44] <SwedeMike> evilmercenary: backup is of course recommended before doing this.
[15:44] <simon_> when i do sudo modprobe psmouse nothing happens
[15:45] <evilmercenary> ofcourse....though, i have no disk big enough to carry a whole backup =/ SwedeMike
[15:45] <SwedeMike> T1750: no, I don't. I hvae a .Private dir, though
[15:46] <evilmercenary> SwedeMike: sorry about this, i'm just paranoid about losing data xD
[15:46] <T1750> SwedeMike: can you do a locate on .encryptfsrc
[15:46] <T1750> i can't decrypt my filenames it's driving me nuts
[15:46] <SwedeMike> T1750: no file found.
[15:46] <phong_> sup all
[15:46] <ReHsArK> anyone can help me? i can't boot up my ubuntu 10.4 rig! after choosing the kernel in grub the screen goes black and it shows a message saying "Out of Range" i suspect its trying to use a resolution too high for my system
[15:46] <phong_> why is the upgrade of ubuntu 9 to 10 is so slow
[15:46] <electre> hello, somebody knows how to define shortcut to edit name of file
[15:46] <phong_> can't i just straight install ubuntu 10?
[15:47] <T1750> electre: mv
[15:47] <SwedeMike> phong_: fresh install is always an option.
[15:47] <oCean_> phong_: sure you can. Download image, burn image & install!
[15:47] <frxstrem> does anyone have any recommendations regarding replacements for Windows Live Messenger on Ubuntu?
[15:47] <simon_> amsn
[15:47] <evilmercenary> frxstrem, pidgin
[15:47] <electre> I mean how to define key to edit this
[15:47] <T1750> frxstrem: i think empathy and pidgin are the ims people like now
[15:47] <Xzil0> T1750 you home directory is encrypted. you sellected that when you installed ubuntu. login as user of that home dir and they should be decrypted.
[15:47] <evilmercenary> amsn is better if you can get it to work xD frxstrem
[15:47] <phong_> is it better to do a fresh install?
[15:47] <T1750> Xzil0: my disk is screwed up and that's impossible
[15:48] <phong_> oCean_, but i have multiple HD in my pc
[15:48] <SwedeMike> T1750: lrwxrwxrwx  1 swmike swmike        24 2009-05-01 17:17 .ecryptfs -> /var/lib/ecryptfs/swmike
[15:48] <simon_> any one able to help me with my mouse prob
[15:48] <oCean_> phong_: yeah, so?
[15:48] <Xzil0> T1750 can you login to your ubuntu?
[15:48] <T1750> no i can't
[15:48] <T1750> so i'm trying to rescue the files from another machine running opensuse
[15:48] <electre> T1750: I know but how to define key to edit name of file, just like in windows
[15:48] <Xzil0> T1750 w8 a sec pls
[15:48] <phong_> oCean_, it will right boot in other HD
[15:48] <T1750> it will decrypt the file data just fine but it won't decrypt the filenames
[15:49] <phong_> oCean_,  i want to learn to do a manual boot
[15:49] <oCean_> phong_: change bios settings
[15:49] <phong_> oCean_,  manual installation
[15:49] <oCean_> phong_: edit bios settings so that it will boot from cdrom first, before booting from hdd
[15:49] <frxstrem> evilmercenary, T1750: well, I use Pidgin right now (and I really, really like it), but it and Empathy aren't exactly the best *MSN* clients out there - it's more just a general IM client. I'll try amsn though
[15:49] <phong_> oCean_,  u dont get it....let say HD-1  <--- install ubuntu,, then it write the boot thing to my windows HD-2
[15:49] <phong_> oCean_,  that i knwo man
[15:50] <slops_> i just installed 9.10 on a machine and have no mouse
[15:50] <evilmercenary> frxstrem: i really liked amsn when i did use it, so ohpe you like it
[15:50] <oCean_> phong_: you can perfectly run both os
[15:50] <phong_> oCean_,  god...
[15:50] <slops_> i have a mouse pointer but it does not move
[15:50] <phong_> oCean_,  you still don't get it...jsut tell me how to do a manual partition installation
[15:51] <T1750> there's a really important symmetrically encrypted file on there so currently im running a script trying to decrtypt all the encrypted files with it, oddly it's decrypting lots of files which wern't the right one at all
[15:51] <phong_> i want to install it as it is only one HD in my system
[15:51] <T1750> but file names would be a milllion times better
[15:51] <dsnyders> How do I disable my pc speaker?
[15:51] <phong_> oCean_, boot sector write to same as the ubuntu drive
[15:51] <T1750> dsnyders: bios settings
[15:51] <slops_> can any one here me
[15:51] <oCean_> phong_: I give up
[15:52] <dsnyders> T1750, No such setting in bios.
[15:52] <phong_> oCean_,  i'm going to do a manual installation and search for how to make the grub locate
[15:52] <ReHsArK> anyone can help me? i can't boot up my ubuntu 10.4 rig! after choosing the kernel in grub the screen goes black and it shows a message saying "Out of Range" i suspect its trying to use a resolution too high for my system
[15:52] <T1750> dsnyders: open the case and cut the wire :)
[15:52] <alberto> hi
[15:52] <kevin009> slops_: i'm using text-to-speech, so as a matter of fact, i can!
[15:52] <lexecutable>  irc.epiknet.org
[15:52] <dsnyders> T1750, I was hoping for a less drastic solution.
[15:52] <wessel> I wish to slice screen shots in an easy to use pixel picture editor, and paste them into an open office presentation, what software should I use to edit images?
[15:52] <kevin009> :)
[15:52] <alberto> Have you ever tried installing Ubuntu on a Kno Tablet?
[15:52] <phong_> is kubuntu differ from ubuntu?
[15:52] <T1750> i don't know if pc speakers is a module on linux
[15:53] <alberto> KNO information: http://www.tested.com/news/knos-dual-screen-linux-tablet-is-bigger-than-3-ipads/375/
[15:53] <slops_> kevin009: can you help fix my mouse problem
[15:53] <T1750> but it's not a very drastic solution it will take 5 min to cut the wire and put a bit of electricians tape round it
[15:53] <kevin009> slops_: whats the problem? i might be able to help
[15:53] <achilles> i want to install ia32-lib in ubuntu without using internet connection is it possible..?
[15:53] <kroson> phong_: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde, it is not maintained by canonical i think, so generally ubuntu is better and has the main features
[15:53] <dsnyders> T1750, ... however, if no other solution is available, I suppose I could unplug the wire from the motherboard.
[15:53] <T1750> you might even be lucky and find it's plugged in to the mainboard so just unplug it
[15:53] <Mion> dsnyders: laptop or stationary?
[15:53] <terry_> how can I join here"IRC Server: irc.savethecoratee.org
[15:53] <terry_> Channel Name: #invites "
[15:53] <terry_> Please help
[15:53] <oCean_> terry_: ask in #freenode, not here
[15:54] <slops_> kevin009: i did a fresh install of 9.10 and have a mouse pointer but no mouse it does not work
[15:54] <Daekdroom> kroson, I swear I thought it was mantained by Canonical. The KDE packages in the repo are.
[15:54] <achilles> hello anyone there to help me out
[15:54] <phong_> kroson okay
[15:54] <Mion> terry_: read the manual for your irc client
[15:54] <phong_> kroson,  how about xubuntu
[15:54] <kevin009> is it a usb mouse?
[15:54] <Xzil0> T1750 you can try this http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/03/mounting-your-encrypted-home-from.html
[15:54] <legend2440> i am using lucid and there was a kernel upgrade just now.  since the upgrade i can't get into the grub menu by pressing the Shift key. any ideas?
[15:54] <kevin009> slops_: is it a usb mouse? if it is, try running lsusb in a terminal and seeing if anything about a mouse shows up
[15:54] <kroson> phong_: the same, with xfce
[15:54] <dsnyders> mion, It's an HP desktop.  I ran a program called alsamixer, and was able to mute the PC's speaker, however mplayer unmuted it.
[15:54] <slops_> kevin009: i am using a usb mouse that going through a kvm anc comining out as ps2
[15:54] <phong_> kroson, so stick with ubuntu?
[15:54] <T1750> Xzil0: i have
[15:55] <kroson> id truly recommend you :)
[15:55] <Xzil0> and nothing?
[15:55] <phong_> i love ubuntu better then fuking mac
[15:55] <phong_> i hate mac shlt
[15:55] <slops_> kevin009: the mouse works on my 10.4 desktop and my win 7 box
[15:55] <oCean_> phong_: stop that language
[15:55] <phong_> ;)
[15:55] <ReHsArK> anyone can help me? i can't boot up my ubuntu 10.4 rig! after choosing the kernel in grub the screen goes black and it shows a message saying "Out of Range" i suspect its trying to use a resolution too high for my system
[15:55] <slops_> kevin009: just not on this box
[15:55] <Mion> dsnyders: unload the pcspkr and snd-pcsp modules
[15:55] <phong_> ubuntu is way better then Mac oS x
[15:55] <T1750> Xzil0: i've even learned all the -o options to ecryptfs mounter so i can do it manually they complain about that file i was asking being missinig so i wonder if it's significant
[15:55] <kroson> phong_: so why change? ubuntu is better than its derivatives, at least for me and most
[15:55] <Mion> dsnyders: blacklist them in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[15:55] <KFP> Hi. I upgraded my other computer from 9.04 to 9.10 today, but now whenever I try to start up that computer, the OS hangs about 20-30 seconds after login.
[15:55] <kevin009> slops_: have you tried powering down after connecting it? i don't think ps/2 is hotpluggable and it doesn't work until you restart, which is a pain. i have a usb kvm and it works great
[15:55] <KFP> Does that sound familiar to anyone? What could cause it and how to fix?
[15:55] <Mion> ReHsArK: what gfx card?
[15:56] <kroson> so if you like it, stick with it, you are using a great operating system that matches win or mac
[15:56] <phong_> kroson, can linux get virus or spyware?
[15:56] <Xzil0> T1750 ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase this file is missing ????
[15:56] <kroson> the easy answer is NO
[15:56] <kroson> :)
[15:56] <ReHsArK> Mion: it's a Geforce Fx5200... it's a rather obsolete system
[15:56] <evilmercenary> phong_, all i can say is: pay ridiculous amounts of cash to do little  but office and video on mac, or pay ridiculous amounts to be tormented by genuine advantage on windows....linux is pure win
[15:56] <slops_> kevin009: yes i have rebboted and still the same
[15:56] <T1750> Xzil0: i also tried the method onthe ubuntu community wiki which was the same thing but he did the --fneck think manually unwrapping the password without inserting it
[15:56] <T1750> Xzil0: nope
[15:56] <dsnyders> Mion, What does the blacklisting do?  Prevent reload on reboot?
[15:56] <kroson> well it can, but its very difficult thanks to the kernel structure and admin privileges system
[15:56] <Mion> ReHsArK: try adding the option "nomodeset" to the grub entry you are booting
[15:56] <kroson> so probably not :)
[15:56] <phong_> evilmercenary, cool
[15:56] <evilmercenary> says me running this IRC on windows xD though phong_
[15:57] <Mion> dsnyders: yep
[15:57] <T1750> Xzil0: and I can decrypt the _data_ of the files, but the file names are all nonsense
[15:57] <slops_> kevin009: i think its something on this box
[15:57] <phong_> evilmercenary, using wine?
[15:57] <slops_> kevin009: as the mouse works on others
[15:57] <ReHsArK> Mion: i've tried that, readed before in a forum... with no success
[15:57] <T1750> Xzil0: ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FZYNHAkXI96gmURcMgLr8rHqnvyea7VgjpphzO.g4HSLXY1uujEflmNwdYp65bUMNqQZNbKWw1aF2VWY3YrUNL8UGlJ8phRa1Fb-725qW9RaeM0liFCSKdsgUE--
[15:57] <kevin009> slops_: perhaps someone else can help then. i'm not sure what to do. you may want to try googling "ubuntu ps/2 kvm" and seeing if anything comes up
[15:57] <evilmercenary> phong_, ...nope...i'm on windows 7 ultimate x64
[15:57] <T1750> i tried using the key from Private.sig in the .encryptfs dir
[15:58] <nerdy_kid> how would i repair my user account?
[15:58] <T1750> that moaned about something else being missing
[15:58] <slops_> kevin009: i have
[15:58] <evilmercenary> phong_,  i feel dirty xD
[15:58] <nerdy_kid> or reset my user account
[15:58] <Mion> ReHsArK: add nomodeset and the number 3, and then try to boot
[15:58] <phong_> evilmercenary, i can browse porn website and virus worry free ;)
[15:58] <oCean_> !ot | phong_
[15:59] <Xzil0> T1750 they all say that sudo ecryptfs-add-passphrase --fnek is solving problem with that file missing thing :S
[15:59] <T1750> Xzil0: yup, but not for me unfortunately
[16:00] <T1750> Xzil0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering%20Your%20Data%20Manually
[16:00] <T1750> I only got one line for some reason
[16:00] <T1750> but i think these numbers are the same as the ones in .encryptfs/Private.sig anyhow
[16:01] <phong_> ubuntu is faster then windows for sure
[16:01] <oCean_> phong_: drop this disscussion, please.
[16:01] <GhostFreeman_> How do I configure the grub menu in 10.04
[16:01] <bazhang> phong_, keep it on topic here please; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:02] <T1750> Xzil0: I'm trying to install ubuntu in a VM in the opensuse to see if i can make it work like that
[16:03] <Xzil0> T1750 man i cant help you theres is only one solution going round and round on internet. sorry
[16:03] <Xzil0> maybe any1 know how to help you
[16:04] <T1750> Xzil0: I've spent a long time trying to do this i read all those thanks for trying
[16:04] <T1750> nobdoy knows nothing so far

[16:04] <Avasz> if i want to save deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives.. then how do i find out what are the lib used by files?
[16:04] <Mion> terry: read the documentation for whatever irc client you are using
[16:04] <T1750> if i go digging in the source code for the final _mounter file made by the IBM guy i might work it out
[16:04] <dsnyders> terry, /join channe.
[16:05] <Avasz> for eg. if i want to save vlc's .deb then i need to save its libs too.. how do i know which libs are used by vlc?

[16:10] <scriptwarlock> does anyone here has an idea about legal issues abou tlinux for cyber shops?
[16:10] <chilli0> T1750, http://pastebin.com/wJCkPzRN

[16:11] <scriptwarlock> i mean ubuntu
[16:11] <Mion> the floodbots are flooding!
[16:13] <m_anish> Hi, I'm trying to learn the ropes of ubuntu-packaging ... and have succeeded in creating a deb ... only it doesn't contain any useful files. I'm trying to make a deb out of "http://code.google.com/p/cannon-camp/" following the steps in "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete". I have been able to compile the source code, (debuild executed the Makefile) and run debuild but the resulting deb doesn't contain the binary 'cannon_camp_amd64'. (http:/
[16:13] <m_anish> /dpaste.org/TLb0/).  debuild log @ http://dpaste.org/JG0S/ ... which contains "rm -f bin/cannon_camp_amd64 ", not sure why
[16:14] <KFP> Hi. I upgraded my other computer from 9.04 to 9.10 today, but now whenever I try to start up that computer, the OS hangs after about a minute. Any ideas?
[16:14] <shiftingcontrol> unable to burn dvd using Brasero and gnomeBaker can some help me out??
[16:14] <nerdy_kid> m_anish i always use checkinstall for stuff i compile
[16:14] <scriptwarlock> anyone has an idea of legal issues in ubuntu for cyber cafes?
[16:14] <xynta_> Mion: are you sure? should the CPU be on 25% on idle in ubuntu or do i need drivers?
[16:14] <MyWay> KFP: why don't you upgrade to 10.04?
[16:14] <KFP> MyWay: That was my intention.
[16:14] <m_anish> nerdy_kid, checkinstall?
[16:15] <shiftingcontrol> .
[16:15] <KFP> ...But now, the computer can't be used.
[16:15] <scriptwarlock> anyone?
[16:15] <T1750> chilli0: your thing isn't a card reader it's some kind of video device?
[16:15] <achilles> Mion, u there..?
[16:15] <KFP> If I stay in the login screen, it freezes. If I log in normally, it freezes. If I log in failsafe, it freezes and if I log in xterm, it freezes. :(
[16:15] <Mion> xynta_: run htop to see what's eating your cpu
[16:15] <Mion> achilles: sort of
[16:15] <MyWay> hm

[16:16] <achilles> does anyone here uses 24online client
[16:16] <achilles> for their net connection
[16:16] <chilli0> T1750, lenovo ideapad Y530 if that means anything.
[16:16] <KFP> Mouse cursor doesn't move and the keyboard doesn't work. Only option is to reboot. :(
[16:16] <Mion> shiftingcontrol: in my experience, brasero is buggy, check if you can burn using wodim
[16:17] <xynta_> Mion, it says "root" is consuming 15% CPU, is this normal?
[16:17] <shiftingcontrol> Mion:hw about gnomebaker?
[16:17] <moto_> hi
[16:17] <Mion> xynta_: "root" is a user, not a process
[16:17] <Mion> xynta_: the actuall process name is on the far right
[16:17] <T1750> chilli0: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/
[16:17] <Mion> xynta_: if you press F6, then move to CPU%, then it will sort by cpu usage
[16:18] <T1750> this driver supports you
[16:18] <xynta_> Mion, ok.. it says something /usr/X11R6/bin/X is consuming 15%
[16:18] <xynta_> Mion, and if i just move the window of the terminal it jumps to 35% CPU
[16:18] <chilli0> T1750, It's not a video device..... Its a Mini SD card..
[16:18] <monkey_d_luffy> Is there a way to read/edit (maybe with some disk editor) a particular location of the disk from a inode number?
[16:18] <m_anish> nerdy_kid, the deb produced by checkinstall doesn't contain any binary either
[16:18] <nerdy_kid> m_anish yeah, its in the software channel.  say i wanted to compile a program, after make id just do sudo checkinstall make install and it would make a deb for me.  very easy :)
[16:19] <T1750> 04f2:b105  	Lenovo EasyCamera (Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 notebooks)  	Chicony Electronics
[16:19] <nerdy_kid> m_anish then the compile didnt produce a binary....
[16:19] <MasterZuFu>  how do i install a GUI management for exim4?
[16:19] <chilli0> T1750, My webcam works fine...... I want my SD card to work.

[16:20] <T1750> then pastebin that
[16:20] <xynta_> Mion: Radeon HD 5770, i have installed the ati drivers for my graphic card ...
[16:20] <Mion> T1750: install curlpaste and run lshw | curlpaste
[16:20]  * T1750 wonders if suse has that
[16:21] <T1750> no :(
[16:21] <m_anish> nerdy_kid, it did in the /bin subdirectory
[16:21] <m_anish> nerdy_kid, ah...
[16:21] <Chak_82> Hello Everyone
[16:22] <m_anish> nerdy_kid, i think the problem is that make produces the binary in the local subdirectory ... and make install doesen't copy it to some /usr/share/bin or similar location
[16:22] <chilli0> Mion, How do i install curlpaste?
[16:22] <chilli0> Its not a package.

[16:24] <acicula> nisstyre65, how is a "cisco" vpn special, they use a custom protocol?
[16:24] <nisstyre65> acicula: they don't support the openvpn protocol afaik
[16:24] <Chak_82> acicula: i was do this integrating the network-manager with the package vpnc package
[16:24] <Mion> xynta_: known bug with catalyst
[16:24] <arand> m_anish: #ubuntu-motu has more of a focus on packaging, and might be helpful if not this channel is
[16:24] <acicula> nisstyre65, pptp?
[16:24] <Mion> xynta_: asuming you are using catalyst
[16:24] <xynta_> Mion: yes
[16:24] <nisstyre65> acicula: nope
[16:25] <nisstyre65> that's a different one
[16:25] <Chak_82> acicula: and i was connected, but about 3 / 4 minutes the connection brokes
[16:25] <acicula> Chak_82, actually that looks like a better choice
[16:25] <Mion> xynta_: there is some patches for xorg-server that can help
[16:25] <m_anish> arand, ok thanks .. I'll ask around if fixing the Makefile doesn't help
[16:25] <nerdy_kid> m_anish idk, all i know is that checkinstall just redirects the output of make install into a deb.  so yeah maybe its the makefile, idk
[16:25] <Empty_Net_Goal> Hey everyone. I too have a networking questions. I bought a Linksys E2000 yesterday and my question revolves around why my network card, a Asus PCE N13 doesn'

[16:25] <T1750> curlpaste vs pastebinit, which is best and why
[16:25] <arand> m_anish: Editing the original source is generally not recommended, if you want to do things *properly*
[16:25] <acicula> !best
[16:26] <Chak_82> acicula: so, i was try to install a official vpn cisco client for linux without succesful results
[16:26] <Mion> xynta_: I'm running cataluyst 10.5 with a patched xorg-server 1.8  and it works nicely (as nicely as the horrible catalust drivers can work, anyway)
[16:26] <acicula> Chak_82, well it seems connecting works but you lose connection to the vpn after awhile

[16:27] <wikiik> is it possible to generate static libraries from header files??
[16:27] <wessel> hello, could someone recommend me some software to crop an image ?
[16:27] <m_anish> arand, I'm just experimenting, besides i'm the sole author of the original source :) .. but I am curios to hear of a possible workaround
[16:27] <acicula> wikiik, no
[16:27] <Mion> T1750: the author of curlpaste is a nice dude that actually listens to complaints/suggestions, so that's one reason to use it
[16:27] <Chak_82> nisstyre65: no, i cant install it, the process of installation show me a lot of errors
[16:27] <LjL> Avasz: "apt-cache show packagename" shows it in the Depends line (although those libs might themselves have other dependencies, etc)
[16:27] <acicula> wikiik, different purpose/things altogether
[16:27] <wessel> it needs to be able to zoom it at pixel level to select the correct corner position of the selection
[16:27] <T1750> sold
[16:27] <leandroal> I need to mount a windows share, I tried mount.cifs but this command does not exist for my ubuntu 10 64bits. Any clue?
[16:28] <Avasz> LjL, ok.. thanks.
[16:28] <LjL> Avasz: you can use the site http://apt.alturl.com/ to get an idea of what dependencies you would need on a standard system
[16:28] <nisstyre65> Chak_82: when you do sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc can you paste the errors you get to pastebin.com or a similar site and link it here?
[16:28] <T1750> chilli0: did you pastebin your lshw yet?
[16:28] <chilli0> T1750, I linked you.

[16:29] <shane2> how we can completely remove php,mysql and apache on ubuntu LTS
[16:29] <wikiik> in order to use this library, the c code needs also some header file
[16:29] <acicula> wikiik, thats possible
[16:29] <wikiik> there is no way to pack it all toguether?
[16:29] <Chak_82> nisstyre65: no, the process is with cisco vpn client... the process of installation of vpnc package finish without problems
[16:29] <shane2>  i am trying to reinstall but i cannot do this
[16:29] <wikiik> acicula, how can i do it?
[16:29] <nisstyre65> Chak_82: start the vpn client from the command line, and paste the errors you get from the terminal
[16:29] <Maletor> I have a serious issue. The font size on Chromium for the URL and tabs is *far* too small. I went into the "Under the Hood" settings, but to no avail. Screenshot: http://lookpic.com/d2/i2/3471/hukLQwuX.png
[16:30] <acicula> wikiik, make a header file and a c file, and compile it into a library
[16:30] <Mion> xynta_: might be in ppa
[16:30] <T1750> chilli0: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766892
[16:30] <Mion> xynta_: I don't run ubuntu so that makes it easier for me
[16:30] <shane2> how i can remove php,mysql and apache
[16:30] <shane2> on my ubuntu
[16:30] <shane2> ?
[16:30] <wikiik> acicula, the fact is that the header file is only necessary for the program that is going to use the library
[16:30] <Chak_82> nisstyre65: ok, i will try one more time and paste the errors
[16:31] <shane2> any body can do help me

[16:32] <chilli0> T1750, just went to next line. thanks anyway ill try to reboot.

[16:33] <chilli0> T1750, http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdricohcs/ worked fine.
[16:33] <IdleOne> shane2: man tasksel in terminal for more info
[16:33] <T1750> if you do the reboot before and after you can diff the mod lists and make it get loaded on booot
[16:34] <Zeu5> hi is there some kind of post it notes like program for ubuntu lucid?
[16:34] <T1750> chilli0: solve your own problem then see if i care

[16:34] <Striking7> This is cool. IdleOne.
[16:34] <MasterZuFu> Forget it, this crap is too complicated and no one wants to help anyways, so screw it.

[16:35] <shane2> "apt-get remove"  is it right

[16:36] <shane2> Mion
[16:36] <Mion> yea
[16:36] <acicula> shubbar, none ubuntu supplied ones work?
[16:36] <MasterZuFu> Striking7: I'm trying to setup an email server on my ubuntu 10.04 server. unfortunately when I installed it on linode.com it came completely bare, with NOTHING installed, at all. so i have ot figure out how to do all of this manually from scratch. I got exim4, it's working and all, but I'm trying to get a GUI for it so I cna read emails and whatnot.
[16:36] <wikiik> acicula, then is it possible to include this header file inside the library?
[16:36] <Mion> man apt-get has the extra options you can trow on to make it behave differently
[16:36] <MasterZuFu> Striking7: I can't find any gui stuff for it, so I went looking, and found something called vexim. trying to install it and it's all manual stuff and I have no idea what i'm reading.
[16:36] <shaw1337> hi , i use a dsl connection to connect to internet , but after upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04 , i wasnt able to connect , aftr applyin  sudo pppoeconf , it startd workin !!! nw i need to boot everytime i configure it why ?
[16:37] <shubbar> theirs one for a close model, but it didn't work
[16:37] <doorknob> rehsark, out of range indicates you're driving at too high a resolution or frequency. check xorg.conf
[16:37] <Striking7> MasterZuFu: So you're trying to get a gui on the server, so you can remote desktop in?
[16:37] <Striking7> MasterZuFu: Or are you trying to get a web admin panel installed?
[16:37] <acicula> wikiik, no you cant put the header file inside the library, not in any standard way i should think
[16:37] <Mion> MasterZuFu: I wouldn't run a gui on a server
[16:37] <MasterZuFu> Striking7: web admin
[16:37] <wikiik> ok thanks acicula
[16:37] <IdleOne> !webmin
[16:37] <Zeu5> tks idleone
[16:38] <Striking7> MasterZuFu: unfortunately I never bothered setting up my own e-mail... it's too complex and annoying. I just host my mail on gmail
[16:38] <shubbar> acicula, i ll try the ubuntu supplied model again, may be it can work this time.
[16:38] <acicula> wikiik, you make a lib by tellin the linker to treat the object code slightly different
[16:38] <IdleOne> Zeu5: welcome, hope that is what you were looing for
[16:38] <rehsark> doorknob there is any parameter to use which permits me install ubuntu 10.4 in a safe graphics mode?
[16:38] <MasterZuFu> IdleOne, webmin isn't working, all i get from it is "Error - File not found", i tried asking for help about that for the last two weeks and all i get from help here is "webmin isn't supported anymore"
[16:38] <acicula> shubbar, well maybe you can get libstd5c++ somewhere still, but iirc its getting old
[16:38] <Mion> MasterZuFu: just install a nice cli email client for local use on the server, and eg a webmail too
[16:38] <Striking7> MasterZuFu: if that isn't an option for you bummer, but if it is all you have to do is set your mx records for your DNS to point to google...
[16:38] <IdleOne> MasterZuFu: does that tell you anything? try !ebox
[16:38] <Striking7> MasterZuFu: and then sign up with Google to have them host your mail
[16:38] <Zela> what does linux-generic mean?
[16:39] <doorknob> rehsark, there should be a low-graphics mode offered in the installer. or you could try the alternate disc.
[16:39] <MasterZuFu> Striking7: the problem is google. the mailing list site i'm using for some reason google blocks, so i'm trying to set it up on my own site and it's not working
[16:39] <doorknob> Zela, generic = works on anything, not tuned to a specific cpu.
[16:39] <Zela> ok
[16:39] <MasterZuFu> !ebox
[16:39] <Striking7> MasterZuFu: Bummer... sorry then I wouldn't be much help to you :(

[16:41] <jonathan__> Whenever i put in the ubuntu live cd and then rebbot into windows ubuntu changes the time. is there any way to make it stop doing this?
[16:41] <infid> yesterday and today when i woke up and turned my screensaver off my left monitor keeps doing some weird thing where it kinda pulses on and off but is ba black screen the whole time. yesterday i rebooted and it fixed it though so im not sure if it's my monitor dying or something ubuntu is doing to it. any ideas?
[16:41] <erUSUL> shubbar: all gnome apps can print to file (ps or pdf) now
[16:41] <MasterZuFu> FFS! >_>. I'm trying to install the ebox thing, and yeah, nothing's working with that either. it's say "deb" isn't a correct command.
[16:42] <shubbar> erUSUL, so no need for cups-pdf anymore
[16:42] <doorknob> Ganymede, Use a different background bitmap, perhaps. Or try Xfce.
[16:43] <erUSUL> shubbar: unless you use some odd app that needs it
[16:43] <jonathan__> Whenever i put in the ubuntu live cd and then rebbot into windows ubuntu changes the time. is there any way to make it stop doing this?

[16:51] <Jack666> phlak_user: phlack is boring
[16:51] <evilmercenary> SwedeMike, just a little feedback for you, and some thanks: i'm going to install ubuntu 10.04 x64 doing a full install later tonight or tomorrow. thanks for the help before
[16:51] <phlak_user> wessel: are they all dual core?
[16:51] <phlak_user> Jack666: huh?
[16:51] <Avasz> is there default app. from whihc i can schedule poweroff time?
[16:52] <wessel> no, I think I have i7 quad core
[16:52] <erUSUL> wessel: in some intel CPU --> four cpu cores + HT == 8 logical cpu's
[16:52] <wessel> hmm, okay
[16:52] <nisstyre65> Chak_82: it looks like you're trying to compile a kernel module...
[16:52] <MasterZuFu> phlak_user: *sigh* well, seems like i've instaled the wrong version key. I just copy and pasted without looking. how do i undo it?
[16:52] <MasterZuFu> I ran this: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 342D17AC
[16:52] <Oer> wessel, you do have 4 cores, but HT hyper treading gives 4 more instances, and so your system thinks you have 8 cores, is oke.
[16:53] <Chak_82> nisstyre65: mmm, no... im using some libs of SO to compile the package using make
[16:53] <Chak_82> nisstyre65: but it fails
[16:53] <phlak_user> MasterZuFu: use apt-key del keyid
[16:53] <MasterZuFu> phlak_user: wait, nvm, my mistake, it's the right key
[16:53] <nisstyre65> Chak_82: why can't you install the binary using apt-get?

[17:04] <SwedeMike> xynta_: check what application is running that uses graphics a lot, could be browser (flash), or something else.
[17:04] <HaakonKL> Nailbar: What exactly is consuming the CPU power?`Can you pastebin the output from top?
[17:04] <phlak_user> MasterZuFu: can you remove that ppa and add the ones here --> http://trac.ebox-platform.com/wiki/Document/Announcement/1.5

[17:07] <phlak_user> MasterZuFu: what is the error/
[17:07] <_pg_> sweet jesus thats so complicated.
[17:07] <erUSUL> _pg_: do not see why not...
[17:07] <MasterZuFu> phlak_user: E: Couldn't find package ebox-office
[17:07] <erUSUL> _pg_: try first the graphical way via Network Manager
[17:07] <erUSUL> _pg_: is the first paragraph
[17:07] <xynta_> HaakonKL, how do i do that?
[17:07] <wessel> how can I remove this empaty from my task bar, and have pidgin instead?
[17:07] <liminal> how do i run a chkdsk on an 2nd harddrive?
[17:07] <wessel> http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/1553/removeempath.jpg
[17:08] <edbian> wessel, sudo apt-get install pidgin
[17:08] <wessel> yes
[17:08] <_pg_> erUSUL: ah. didnt see that lol
[17:08] <wessel> its there already
[17:08] <wessel> its both running in the screen shot
[17:08] <HaakonKL> xynta_: open a terminal and type "top" and you'll get a neat report saying which programs use what resources.
[17:08] <erUSUL> _pg_: Ubuntu 9.10 method
[17:08] <xynta_> HaakonKL, it says that Xorg is using 16 % CPU
[17:08] <HaakonKL> xynta_: a pretty good indicator of the offending program will be found that way.
[17:09] <edbian> wessel, I see.  I don't think that pidgin is integrated into the user switcher applet like empathy is.
[17:09] <HaakonKL> xynta_: then your desktop is using a lot of resources somehow. Are you running any special effects or something similar
[17:09] <toolbear> ubottu: tell me what "gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found" means
[17:09] <phlak_user> MasterZuFu: can you follow this thread --> http://forum.ebox-platform.com/index.php?topic=3804.0 They seem to suggest a way
[17:09] <edbian> wessel, One guess: sudo apt-get remove empathy

[17:09] <edbian> wessel, You can set pidgin to show its own icon though

[17:10] <edbian> wessel, Ha ha.  Is it being stubborn?
[17:10] <erUSUL> !undelete | liminal
[17:10] <HaakonKL> xynta_: If you shut all of them down, how's the cpu affected? (IT shouldn't have a huge impact, but you never know... :)
[17:10] <wangxiao> 我
[17:10] <wessel> yes, its not empathetic at all
[17:10] <phlak_user> skeledrew: Lynx??? isnt that an RTOS?

[17:11] <xynta_> HaakonKL, it's still 16 and is still consuming much CPU usage
[17:11] <HaakonKL> xynta_: That's really weird. At least we know that your desktop effects are not to blame.
[17:12] <HaakonKL> xynta_: what do you run on your desktop then? compiz/gnome?
[17:12] <Nailbar> What information is meant to go into the Username, Password, and Network fields when adding a Mobile Broadband connection with NetworkManager?
[17:12] <phlak_user> xynta_: run top in a terminal; the process that's hogging cpu should be the one on the top
[17:12] <xynta_> HaakonKL, compiz and gnome .. is it because of my graphic drivers?
[17:12] <Xzil0> Can i install linux on reiserfs partition???
[17:13] <Zeu5> is tomboy notes sticky?

[17:13] <B-r00t> Xzil0: :)
[17:13] <Zeu5> as in it will stay there even after reboot?
[17:13] <HaakonKL> xynta_: Not very likely. :) Did you recently install them, and then had these problems?
[17:13] <judget> has anyone got a solution for the Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter in 10.04 studio?
[17:13] <phlak_user> Zeu5: only if you add it to startup
[17:13] <erUSUL> judget: System>Admin...>hardware drivers ?
[17:13] <RocketLauncher> My mouse is scrolling pretty slowly. I had to manually fix it for Firefox to scroll at the speed I'd like. Is tehre any way I can just fix it all-around? It's pretty slow.. usable.. but slow.
[17:13] <HaakonKL> xynta_: Do you have an old machine byw?
[17:13] <HaakonKL> *btw
[17:13] <Avasz> how can i schedule poweroff time?
[17:14] <phlak_user> Avasz: crontab
[17:14] <phlak_user> !cron
[17:14] <Zeu5> phlak_user: how do i add to startup
[17:14] <Nailbar> phlak_user: And after adding a connection, how do I get it to show as a left-click option?
[17:14] <edbian> Avasz, You can write a cron job or you can simple use the shutdown command if it's a one time deal.
[17:14] <HaakonKL> Avasz: you should check out the shutdown utility. Look up man shutdown in the terminal. :)
[17:14] <SwedeMike> Avasz: "man shutdown"
[17:14] <xynta_> HaakonKL, No, it's a new machine.. The CPU usage was higher before I installed the drivers ..

[17:17] <GhostFreeman_> How do I add a user so he can access sudo
[17:17] <peter_curry> Hello.  I would like to do a re-installation of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx).  It is that complicated - or do I simply burn it onto one of my DVD-R's off the Ubuntu website - and then run the CD and follow the steps?
[17:17] <phlak_user> mr-woof: awn wont start if you dont run compiz
[17:17] <zver> need help with julius, keeps saying ERROR: m_chkparam: you should  specify at least one LM to run Julius!
[17:17] <liminal> how can i tell if a harddrive is mounted or not?
[17:17] <mr-woof> hmm compiz is running i think

[17:18] <banker247> hey guys, rather new to ubuntu been using it for awhile now pretty familiar with it.. i'm still dual booting it since i have windows vista installed first.. i'm ready to make the full switch. is there any benefit to wiping out windows completely and just boot ubuntu?
[17:18] <HaakonKL> xynta_: Do you by any chance have an intel graphics card?
[17:18] <GhostFreeman_> thanks phlak_user
[17:18] <nanoinusa> Sorry guys but I am starting to HATE ubuntu
[17:18] <banker247> will it make it run more efficiently?
[17:18] <liminal> but when i select it in my computer i get an error about Failed to mount '/dev/sda5
[17:18] <xynta_> HaakonKL, no it's Radeon HD 5770
[17:18] <nanoinusa> I am trying to install
[17:18] <Xzil0> Can i install linux on reiserfs partition????
[17:18] <phlak_user> banker247: nope
[17:18] <Tecna> Somebody please just tell me how to burn a cd using a live cd
[17:18] <judget> havent used winblows for 3 years and i dont miss it at all
[17:18] <liminal> i think my fstab might be messed
[17:18] <phlak_user> banker247: unless you installed it using wubi
[17:18] <nanoinusa> and it starts and asks for user and password instead of asking to create one
[17:18] <rsk> Xzil0: yes.
[17:19] <Xzil0> rsk: kk tnx
[17:19] <banker247> i just installed it with the windows install download from ubuntu

[17:19] <aosys> hello. i am about to install xubuntu 10.04 but first i am trying to figure out the best way to partition my 60gb c:\ into 3 parts: 1 for Xubuntu, 1 for data (/home) & 1 for Linux-Swap RAM. I read I could do this by running Gparted Live off a USB (which I have already created). Is this a good way?
[17:19] <judget> still looking for a solution for  Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285
[17:19] <phlak_user> Tecna: what is the error?
[17:19] <Tecna> phlak_user: I've been posting logs of the errors from that.  Let me get them up and paste again
[17:19] <chalk> how come on ubuntu 10 my internet connection speed is slower?
[17:19] <phlak_user> judget: did you run lspci?
[17:20] <banker247> so dual booting it causes no problems and i probably shouldn't go through all the aggravation of wiping windows and doing a clean install?
[17:20] <peter_curry> banker247: I don't see any need for Windows - unless you feel you still need to use it for some reason (certain functionality or certain application).  Personally, I would just remove it and save the disk space.  That's just my opinion.  However, if you think you are still going to need Windows for whatever reason - then I guess keep it on your system so you don't have to go purchase a CD for it if you want it back on ...
[17:20] <judget> lspci shows 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[17:20] <edbian> banker247, Dual booting is no more difficult than wiping and doing a clean install.
[17:20] <judget> but it does not appear in network manager
[17:20] <erUSUL> judget: if you do « iwconfig » does it show a wlan0 ? iface ?
[17:21] <banker247> edbian when i installed ubuntu i gave it a 15gb install size.. is there a way to increase it then?
[17:21] <pelandrit> hello folks
[17:21] <ianwizard> aosys: There will be an option for that scheme when you install Xubutu.  Also, it gives you the option to manually partition on install.
[17:21] <Tecna> phlak_user: http://pastebin.com/cjGbRzvD http://pastebin.com/Ws2m2TNz

[17:21] <judget> eth0      no wireless extensions.
[17:21] <peter_curry> edbian: How do you wipe and do a clean install.  That's exactly what I want to right now for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[17:21] <edbian> judget, That means that the system recognizes you have a device and that it is a wifi device but it doesn't have a driver (kernel module) loaded for it.
[17:21] <celeritas> gsp2009, check you kernel boot options for vga. you can change to vga=ask and remove splash to see the text

[17:21] <erUSUL> !paste | judget
[17:21] <banker247> peter_curry, you just download the .iso mount it on a cd-rom or usb disk then reboot and you can do it
[17:21] <Zeu5> phlak_user: thanks
[17:21] <judget> sorry
[17:22] <judget> i thought it was short enough
[17:22] <edbian> banker247, There is.  You can resize / edit any partition you're not mounted on using gparted.  You can use a live CD so you're not mounted on any of them.  gparted is installed on a live cd by default.  It might be called "partition editor" it's in system -> admin
[17:22] <zver> how had ever tried julius or sphinx and whant to share some info
[17:22] <edbian> peter_curry, You use the live CD and manually partition using gparted (partition editor)
[17:22] <gsp2009> celeritas: so I am running lucid... that should be grub2 right?
[17:22] <musictoto> hi! is there a way to install ubuntu on an old iBook G4? it's processor is PowerPC architecture
[17:22] <celeritas> right
[17:22] <liminal> im having problems mounting a 2ndry harddrive, fdisk shows it to be on sdb2 however when i try to mount it i receieve errors refering it to sda5
[17:22] <celeritas> look in your menu.lst
[17:22] <edbian> peter_curry, Do you have the system handy?  Can we talk while you work?  I can step you through it.
[17:22] <jakswa> can I bother anyone to help a poor unfortunate soul to brainstorm at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502346
[17:22] <gsp2009> celeritas: ok.. thanks.. brb
[17:23] <judget> I tied this posting http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309072
[17:23] <judget> but it dont work 4 me
[17:23] <peter_curry> banker247: I see.  So I just go onto the Ubuntu website and burn it onto a CD - and then run it?
[17:23] <phlak_user> Tecna: did you follow this instruction --> message = "The system is too slow to write the CD at this speed. Try a lower speed"
[17:23] <aosys> ianwizard: I have tried to install Xubuntu 10.04 before and when I reached step 4 it gave me the 2 choices you stated. The 1st automatic one said that it would wipe out my C:\ drive (the drive that contains XP). I was scared off from installing because of this. So are you saying to just go ahead with it?
[17:23] <banker247> peter_curry yea jsut download the ISO theres instructions on how to mount it on cd or usb, then restart system.. and it'll boot from that cd or usb and go through the install
[17:23] <Tecna> phlak_user: It gives me errors at any speed.
[17:24] <phlak_user> Tecna: 4x is ideal

[17:24] <judget> what module should i be loading for the Atheros wifi does anyone know?
[17:24] <peter_curry> edbian: I don't want to do any partitioning.  I am currently running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.  I don't have any other OS installed or any other partition currently.  How could you walk me through it if I'm on the same system?  I don't have another computer handy ...
[17:24] <musictoto> xangua: thanks!
[17:24] <phlak_user> judget: generally ath9k
[17:24] <gsp2009> celeritas: no menu.lst on my system... hmmmm
[17:25] <peter_curry> banker247: K.  Then it will completely wipe my hard drive install over the current installation, right?
[17:25] <edbian> peter_curry, If you're running ubuntu 10.04 what are you burning / installing?
[17:25] <banker247> peter_curry i believe you'll get an option to format the drive at install
[17:25] <judget> ath9k is the module? can I get that from synaptic?
[17:25] <erUSUL> judget: ath9k iirc
[17:25] <edbian> peter_curry, You can install and use an IRC client on the live CD.
[17:25] <celeritas> should be somewhere in you boot partition
[17:25] <banker247> peter_curry are you just trying to test out ubuntu?
[17:25] <phlak_user> judget: its already included in the kernel
[17:25] <erUSUL> judget: it comes in the kernel package
[17:25] <soreau> judget: Ok, you have an AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) which may be too knew for the kernel driver you're using. Can you show the output of 'lsmod|grep ath'?
[17:26] <soreau> judget: pastebin it
[17:26] <banker247> peter_curry, because what i did was download the windows installer version and just launch it out of windows and it installed everything fine and i just dual boot it
[17:26] <erUSUL> judget: you can also install « linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic »
[17:26] <edbian> banker247, wubi?
[17:26] <soreau> judget: ath9k is a kernel module. It's provided by the linux kernel
[17:26] <peter_curry> edbian: I just want to a fresh install for my own reasons.  I also don't have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS burned to a CD yet.  I started with 9.10 - and then it automatically upgraded me to 10.04 through the Update Manager.
[17:26] <zver> who had ever tried julius or sphinx and whant to share usage info
[17:27] <banker247> edbian, yes wubi i believe
[17:27] <apparle> hi guys, I had a powercut and I am running a desktop without a UPS. So it seems it corrupted my fs somehow, now I get run fsck manually. I cannot go into recovery mode as well. I am running a wubi installtion of lucid. Plz help
[17:27] <celeritas> gsp2009, try /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:27] <banker247> edbian is that a bad choice?
[17:27] <aosys> ianwizard: i should mention that Step 4 of the Xubuntu 10.04 installer is a bit different than Step 4 of the Ubuntu 10.04 installer.
[17:27] <edbian> banker247, no
[17:27] <phlak_user> celeritas: gsp2009 nope, since Karmic, its now grub2 and theres no menu.lst
[17:27] <judget> here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/hXaX5wd9
[17:27] <phlak_user> !grub
[17:27] <soreau> ! who | judget
[17:27] <edbian> banker247, It is just difficult to get support for.  Many people don't like to deal with it because it isn't real and it is very difficult to fix when broken
[17:28] <phlak_user> !grub2
[17:28] <banker247> edbian i guess what i'm trying to ascertain is... is it better/more efficient to do a clean install of ubuntu after you wipe windows.. so its not dual booting
[17:28] <peter_curry> edbian: Now, is this "Live CD" essentially what I will be burning off the Ubuntu website?
[17:28] <edbian> peter_curry, Then yeah just burn the CD and in the installer choose "use entire disk" and ubuntu will erase everything.
[17:28] <soreau> judget: Ah, looks like someone installed madwifi at one point
[17:28] <gsp2009> phlak_user: thanks.
[17:28] <banker247> edbian i'm running lucid version 10 somethin
[17:28] <tshirt> hi everyone. How can I make my account as root. I added to admin group but i didnt work.
[17:28] <acicula> !root
[17:28] <soreau> judget: Try this: sudo rmmod ath_pci && sudo modprobe ath_pci && iwconfig
[17:28] <judget> soreau yues i did
[17:28] <edbian> peter_curry, Yes.  You download from the website an .iso file.  Which is an image of a CD.  Once you burn it to a CD using and .iso burner you have a live CD.
[17:29] <aosys> I remember when I installed Ubuntu 10.04 I had 3 options at Step 4. And the 1st option (the automatic one) did not say my entire drive would get wiped.
[17:29] <edbian> peter_curry, Didn't you do this with 9.10?
[17:29] <phlak_user> tshirt: you need to type sudo before every command to run it as root
[17:29] <Mukomuko> helow
[17:29] <soreau> judget: madwifi is out-pf-date and no longer maintained. You should be using the ath*k kernel modules
[17:29] <banker247> edbian, i thought its just an installer so i'm really using wubi?
[17:29] <soreau> judget: gah, I gave you wrong command sorry
[17:29] <soreau> judget: Try this: sudo rmmod ath_pci && sudo modprobe ath9k && iwconfig
[17:29] <celeritas> gsp2009, its grub.cfg instead of menu.lst
[17:30] <Tecna> tshirt: Ignore ubottu.  There is a root password, but it's scrambled by default because logging in as root poses a serious security risk.
[17:30] <judget> soreau plse see this pastbin http://pastebin.com/Q5bF5SL2
[17:30] <aosys> So that is why I am thinking I should shhrink C:\ from 60gb to 25gb thus creating free space. Maybe that will allow Xubuntu to recongize that it can install it with out wiping the drive
[17:30] <soreau> judget: Try this: sudo rmmod ath_pci; sudo modprobe ath9k && iwconfig
[17:30] <edbian> banker247, Does "ubuntu" show up in your add / remove programs in windows?  Do you have an ext3 or 4 partition?
[17:30] <Digistras> hi all
[17:30] <phlak_user> tshirt: you can do a sudo -i to get a root shell
[17:30] <Digistras> i'm new to ubuntu
[17:30] <banker247> ubuntu is in my add/remove yes
[17:30] <celeritas> gsp2009, nevermind, you are not supposed to edit that file
[17:30] <edbian> banker247, Than you have wubi.
[17:30] <judget> soreau how to remove the mad wifi ?
[17:30] <edbian> Digistras, Welcome! :)
[17:30] <banker247> edbian, how do i check my et3 or 4?
[17:30] <phlak_user> celeritas: gsp2009 you should edit /etc/default/grub
[17:30] <peter_curry> banker247: What you can do is - while you are running the Ubuntu install - it will simply ask you if you want Ubuntu on the entire drive or only on a portion.  If you choose to have it on the entire hard drive, then Windows is automatically erased.
[17:31] <acicula> Tecna, check shadow, there is no root password set
[17:31] <Digistras> i need to know...are major manifactures creating drivers for ubuntu?
[17:31] <soreau> judget: Depends on how you installed it. But for now, let's just make sure ath9k works for you. So run sudo rmmod ath_pci; sudo modprobe ath9k && iwconfig
[17:31] <banker247> edbian i believe i'm using ext4
[17:31] <edbian> banker247, Well no offense but if you don't know if your harddrive is partitioned than it probably isn't.  wubi is a tricky.  It actually installs linux in a big file in your NTFS partition.
[17:31] <peter_curry> edbian: Yes, I did already did this with 9.10.  But I would also like 10.04 LTS as a live CD.
[17:31] <RocketLauncher> My mouse is scrolling pretty slowly. I had to manually fix it for Firefox to scroll at the speed I'd like. Is tehre any way I can just fix it all-around? It's pretty slow.. usable.. but slow.
[17:31] <gsp2009> phlak_user: perfect.. thanks.. .so there should be an option in there to fix my fonts being too small in tty?
[17:31] <edbian> peter_curry, Than download and burn it! :)
[17:31] <Tecna> acicula: Really?  That's weird, because I change my root password all the time.
[17:32] <celeritas> gsp2009, you can edit the command at boot time
[17:32] <edbian> aosys, What?
[17:32] <acicula> Tecna, well if you set it yourself then obviously there will be one, its not set by default however
[17:32] <judget> soreau look at this pls http://pastebin.com/RQt3zxVH
[17:32] <phlak_user> RocketLauncher: there is no known way to do that system-wide; you need to do it application wise; use smoothwheel for firefox etc etc
[17:32] <phlak_user> gsp2009: maybe (havent tried to change font size though)
[17:32] <zver> who had ever tried julius or sphinx and whant to share usage info
[17:32] <gsp2009> celeritas: ok thanks.
[17:32] <banker247> edbian ok so i should prolly just reinstall everything off my .iso i downloaded and wipe windows?
[17:32] <soreau> judget: yay, now you have wlan0. So so should have wifi stuff working (check your $GUI)
[17:33] <gsp2009> phlak_user: cool. thanks.
[17:33] <judget> soreau after that last command my wifi led is now blue as it shoud be
[17:33] <aosys> edbian: do you think I should create free space on my drive by shrinking C:\ partition from 60gb to 25gb so I can install Xubuntu 10.04?
[17:33] <soreau> judget: Now let's get rid of madwifi. How did you install it?
[17:33] <peter_curry> edbian: Yes. Indeed :)  One more quick question.  I will have to re-install this IRC client (Konversation).  Will my username and such be retained - or will I have to set up everything again?
[17:33] <banker247> edbian i still have a recovery drive auto partitioned onmy HD since i have a laptop that i can't get rid of so i think windows is on there for recov
[17:33] <tshirt> the thing is that i dont wanna type SUDO each time or go the terminal sudo gedit /var/www/addclient.php ....
[17:33] <edbian> banker247, Well if you want to get rid of windows.  A proper linux install has it's own partition (does not use wubi) :)
[17:33] <edbian> aosys, Do you need space in linux and do you have extra space in windows?  Then yes.
[17:33] <judget> soreau I followd this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309072

[17:34] <Tecna> acicula: Seriously...  I read about the scrambled password in docs written by ubuntu devs.  Also, if there were no password, you'd be able to login without entering a password.
[17:34] <edbian> peter_curry, I'm unclear on why you're reinstalling the irc client.  Are you re installing your operating system?  I thought you were just gonna burn 10.04 just to have a live CD copy of it.
[17:34] <edbian> banker247, Have a great time! :D
[17:34] <magn3ts> Does anyone know of a torrent client that works well with an encrypted home drive?
[17:34] <peter_curry> edbian: I'm sorry I wasn't clear.  Yes - I am reinstalling 10.04.
[17:34] <tshirt> but sudo -i is temporal isnt it
[17:35] <edbian> tshirt, You can sudo -i and then you don't have to again until you restart the term / session
[17:35] <xangua> tshirt: don't use sudo with a graphic app, use gksu
[17:35] <xangua> !gksu
[17:35] <soreau> judget: ok first open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and make sure ath9k is *not* in the file. If it is, comment out or remove any lines that say ath9k
[17:35] <aosys> edbian: yes i need space for linux data but i would like to have 3 partitions for my Linux install: 1 for Xubuntu 10.04, 1 for data (\home) and 1 for the Linux-Swap RAM.
[17:35] <edbian> peter_curry, You will have to reset everything.  If you clean install you lose EVERYTHING.
[17:35] <tshirt> what is gksu _
[17:35] <banker247> edbian, i'm looking at my mounted iso and it has wubi.exe in it..
[17:35] <celeritas> sudo su would work right. is that the same as sudo -i?
[17:35] <soreau> judget: You can un-blacklist ath5k too if you want (optional)
[17:35] <phlak_user> tshirt: yes; it is generally believed (rightly so) that one needs to carry out tasks as superuser only certain times not always
[17:35] <edbian> peter_curry, It will be like the computer you have now (in every virtual sense) will be gone forever.
[17:36] <RocketLauncher> phlak_user, I thought Ubuntu had mouse settings. This is counter-intuitive.. christ
[17:36] <edbian> banker247, The live CD has the wubi installer built it.  It also has the proper installer.
[17:36] <ht1> hi!!! after quite long time i still can't find a solution to my ubuntu who won't boot http://yfrog.com/fvdscf6958j what can i do?
[17:36] <peter_curry> edbian: OK.  So after installing the IRC client again - what are the steps for getting back into this chat room?
[17:36] <acicula> Tecno, the password by default is set to a value that is never valid, so you cant enter any password that will be valid, until you set one, and authenticate as root.
[17:36] <judget> soreau we now have this result for iwconfig http://pastebin.com/RtH5HMVb
[17:36] <soreau> judget: Next in /etc/modules, open the file and remove ath_pci from this file. This should stop it from trying to load ath_pci
[17:36] <edbian> peter_curry, Well I think it will automatically find it for you because you're using ubuntu.  But /server irc.freenode.net
[17:37] <jakswa> restricting root (or very root-like user) from writing to a partition -- is it possible?
[17:37] <edbian> then /join #ubuntu
[17:37] <aosys> edbian: so my question is: how do i insure that I get these 3 partitions made when I install? do i have to create them manually before installing? or will all 3 be made automatically?
[17:37] <tshirt> in graphic mode i cant create a program. i have to terminal sudo gedit bla bla

[17:38] <edbian> aosys, I'm sorry I don't follow.  What 3 partitions do you want to have after your install and what do the partitions look like now?
[17:38] <phlak_user> jakswa: unless they ran inside a chroot jail, cant see how
[17:38] <soreau> judget: Finally after those two files are edited, from the madwifi-ng directory, run 'sudo make uninstall'
[17:38] <jakswa> phlak_user: thanks
[17:38] <aosys> edbian: I have one 60gb partition right now. XP is on it.
[17:38] <judget> sorea OK i removes the entries fro blacklist
[17:38] <ffelf> Digistras: no. if they create drivers for the linux kernel, those will be picked up by ubuntu and other systems.
[17:38] <aosys> edbian: I want to shrink the C:\ from 6ogb to 25gb.
[17:39] <co_klatss> waduh jumpa org2 yg seiman di sini
[17:39] <aosys> edbain: then I want to use the other 35gb  for my Linux
[17:39] <edbian> aosys, That's only 2 partitions.
[17:39] <zver> sravanje: try icedtea6-plugin
[17:39] <MasterZuFu> phlak_user: i'll have to deal with this tomorrow. it's 2 am here and I have to get up at 6 am to go to work. I'll ask again tomorrow. Thanks for the support.
[17:39] <Digistras> how is ubuntu as compared to fedora?
[17:39] <judget> soreau uninstall is done
[17:39] <rsk> Digistras: pretty much the same
[17:40] <phlak_user> jakswa: this might help (though i havent tried it myself) --> http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/
[17:40] <aosys> edbian: but I want my Linux partition to contain 3 sub-partitions: 1 for Xubuntu, 1 for data and 1 for Linux-Swap
[17:40] <judget> what next?
[17:40] <phlak_user> MasterZuFu: yw
[17:40] <aosys> edbian: that is what is recommended here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes
[17:40] <soreau> judget: Did you remove ath_pci from /etc/modules file?
[17:40] <judget> soreau do I rebpoot or tey to load the module now?
[17:40] <judget> soreau I will check
[17:40] <edbian> aosys, Ok, excellent!  You want to do things the proper way! :)
[17:41] <aosys> edbian: totally! :)
[17:41] <edbian> aosys, Do you have the Live CD running on the machine right now?  Can we talk while you do this?
[17:41] <edbian> aosys, There are a lot of steps involved.
[17:41] <freedom1> heya, my kde has extra LARGE fonts in what file was the config for this
[17:41] <oCean_> jakswa: just read your forum message. You can restrict sudo command options, configuring /etc/sudoers
[17:41] <sravanje> zver: how can i use this plugin to my java jsp&servlet programs
[17:41] <aosys> edbian: i am finishing CHKDSK right now.
[17:41] <edbian> aosys, wow.  Good call.
[17:41] <judget> soreau it is in there 2 times as ath_pci
[17:41] <edbian> aosys, You really do things right the first time huh.
[17:42] <soreau> judget: Get rid of both
[17:42] <aosys> edbian: that is what they recommend at the help section. i dont want to screw it up.
[17:42] <aosys> edbian: will you be on here later?
[17:42] <judget> soreau done got rid of both
[17:42] <edbian> aosys, I should be.
[17:42] <soreau> judget: Now look at the output of 'lsmod'. This lists all currently loaded kernel modules. Since both the ath_pci and ath*k drivers have 'ath' in their name, we can conveniently pipe to grep to see which is loaded. So we use 'lsmod|grep ath' and since you have a wlan0 iface, I assume ath9k is loaded
[17:42] <edbian> aosys, Well, how much later?
[17:43] <aosys> edbian: if not is there a way i could get your email? i will be back in 2.5 hours.
[17:43] <zver> sravanje: how you whant use them?
[17:43] <Mukomuko> hellow
[17:43] <sravanje> to execute the java programs in my system
[17:43] <soreau> judget: At this point you shouldn't even have to reboot, but you're system is setup so that on next reboot, it will load the correct driver for your card with is ath9k. In the future, check the date on the guide you're reading
[17:43] <jakswa> oCean_ thanks, do you know how I'd restrict a command -- say the "mount" command?
[17:43] <edbian> aosys, Probably should've /msg'd that
[17:43] <edbian> aosys, ha ha
[17:44] <soreau> your* and which*
[17:44] <brontoeee> virtualbox, how would i share same settings and machines with multiple users on the system (lucid)
[17:44] <oCean_> jakswa: let me show you
[17:44] <aosys> edbian: yeah man, i was thinking bad idea. maybe you should change your address soon. :)
[17:44] <freedom1> where was that config where u put dpi in ? my fonts are way too laarge
[17:44] <shubbar> printer Canon LBP 3300 and 3360 are almost identical, yet the ubuntu driver for 3360 does not work for 3300
[17:44] <freedom1> (kde=
[17:44] <judget> soreau here is resulkt of lsmod | grep ath --> http://pastebin.com/kx4up7B4
[17:44] <aosys> edbian: so how much longer do you think you will be on for?
[17:44] <edbian> !ops Can I somehow get that bit taken out of the logs?
[17:44] <soreau> judget: So check wicd or whatever wifi thingy in your panel for wifi
[17:45] <edbian> Maybe 2 hours
[17:45] <edbian> Can't say for sure.
[17:45] <xangua> has anyone tried this libpurple plugin with success¿ i can install the prpltwtr protocol but i can't install the gtkprpltwtr plugin http://code.google.com/p/prpltwtr/ and this is what i get from make && sudo make install http://pastebin.com/6Tu66GnL http://pastebin.com/PsqHef1m the plugin should be there, but is not :(
[17:45] <IdleOne> edbian: #ubuntu-ops
[17:45] <judget> no thingy in panel?? soreau
[17:45] <oCean_> jakswa: don't say it is completely watertight, but this is an example you can start with: http://paste.ubuntu.com/445181/
[17:45] <soreau> judget: I thought you said.. hang on
[17:45] <nhandler> edbian: The only people who have access to the logs on irclogs.ubuntu.com are the canonical sysadmins. You would need to file an rt ticket (email rt@ubuntu.com) to do that
[17:45] <edbian> IdleOne, Thanks
[17:45] <aosys> edbian: ok cool. either way i will be in touch.
[17:45] <aosys> edbian: take care
[17:46] <judget> only thing in panel is netywork monitor soreau
[17:46] <edbian> aosys, Thanks
[17:46] <judget> I think my notification area is not showing
[17:46] <jakswa> oCean_: thanks greatly!  I'll check this out.
[17:46] <aosys> edbian: sure thing and thank you
[17:46] <sravanje> zver: plz reply me
[17:46] <soreau> judget: ok well run wicd or whatever
[17:46] <rundmc> temp01--> hi
[17:47] <soreau> judget: You're already ready to go, you can connect through CLI (if ubuntu NetworkManager doesn't interfere)
[17:48] <soreau> judget: You can add a notification area to your panel..
[17:48] <oCean_> jakswa: your welcome. Sudo it pretty powerful, you may have to extend the config to suit your needs.
[17:48] <Pirate_Hunter> !themes > Pirate_Hunter
[17:48] <judget> soreau I added a notification area but it does not shjow anything
[17:49] <Maletor> I don't have any panels - how do I add a panel?
[17:49] <soreau> judget: Do you have nm-applet or wicd running?
[17:49] <tshirt> thanks a lot ubotu, xangua, phlak_user
[17:49] <Xcell> did you delete them ?
[17:49] <bradpitt> aloha.. anybody successfully run android sdk on ubuntu lucid?
[17:50] <Maletor> Xcell: yes
[17:50] <Xcell> ok
[17:50] <Xcell> now you want them back ?
[17:50] <Maletor> I went to superuser to try and restore my notifications and i used gconftool
[17:50] <jazball> anyone used ubuntu music store? I brought some music didn't download to rhythm player just hung. was able to retrieve the music from my Ubuntu one account.
[17:50] <Maletor> then it died. i want them back
[17:50] <AppGuy> i am having problems with ubuntu 10.04 being stretched to far to the left off the monitor screen
[17:50] <judget> solreau i tried CLI to start nm-applet says it is alreaDY RUNNUNG
[17:50] <ouyes> !register
[17:51] <soreau> judget: Well if you can't see it in your panel, not sure what to tell you. Maybe try restarting X or reboot
[17:51] <judget> soreau yes i am gonna reboot now ill be back and thanks
[17:51] <ffelf> Digistras: fedora won't play mp3 files out of the box, because they're somehow not in a position to distribute mp3 decoders.
[17:52] <mosno> cool, 404 on ubuntu.com
[17:52] <edbian> Digistras, Neither is ubuntu or any distro that cares a lot about software freedom
[17:52] <Xcell> Maletor-  try this :  http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html
[17:52] <Maletor> Xcell: resolve http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html
[17:52] <prodigel> Hi all. I have problems usin php mail() function, and I guess it has to do with my machine configuration. I have sendmail installed, but it takes too much time, and probably timeouts. Any idea is appreciated
[17:52] <Maletor> almost beat you :D
[17:52] <Xcell> lol
[17:52] <ffelf> edbian: ?? http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libmad0
[17:53] <zver> sravanje: for running java program you need jre
[17:53] <tshirt> but is there a simple way to create text files (programs) on graphic mode without gksu  by privilegees things ...
[17:54] <badnaam> can someone help me with my wireless please, it stopped working all of a sudden
[17:54] <soreau> badcloud: Which wifi chip is it?
[17:54] <judget> soreau back after reboot for some reason I do not see network manager in notification area
[17:55] <toon_> hey, i use ubuntu and in the software center i noticed
[17:55] <Pici> tshirt: Why would you need to be root to create a text file?
[17:55] <badnaam> not sure, how do I find out?
[17:55] <toon_> grub efi amd64.. should i use that tto improve boot speed?
[17:55] <Pici> tshirt: Where are you trying to create this file?
[17:55] <soreau> judget: Ok well that is a different issue unrelated to your driver. The driver seems to be in working order. If you'd like, I could show you how to use iwconfig and dhclient to connect via cli
[17:55] <soreau> ! who | badcloud
[17:55] <all> hi
[17:55] <soreau> ! who | badnaam
[17:56] <soreau> badnaam: If it's a pci card, use 'lspci'
[17:56] <zver> sravanje: have you install jre?
[17:56] <tshirt> pici. yes i have to go terminal then gedit /var/www/addclient.php otherwise when a try to save i cant
[17:56] <KurtKraut> prodigel, what sendmail logs says?
[17:56] <zver> sravanje: and did you try with icedtea6?
[17:56] <badnaam> ok cool, it's Intel Corporation WiFi Link 100 Series
[17:57] <soreau> ! who | badnaam
[17:57] <badnaam> soreau that was to answer your question
[17:57] <platypus_> Alright, as with every Ubuntu install, trying to get wireless up and running is giving me a headache. I've done some browsing, but it's early, not enough coffee, and lost. Could someone send me a link to a good walkthrough?
[17:57] <tshirt> pici i looking a way to simple open text editor write and save without terminal
[17:57] <soreau> badnaam: Yea please use my nick in what you say because it makes it so much easier for me to help you
[17:58] <Pici> tshirt: you could add your user to the group that owns the file
[17:58] <azlon> for some reason my sound isn't working
[17:58] <prodigel> KurtKraut, I think it's working, but it takes minutes to send the email. I don't know where sendmail logs are stored by default
[17:58] <badnaam> soreau, got it. so it was working just fine and then it stopped, won't get an ip from the router and now it keeps prompting me to password
[17:58] <tshirt> pici i did but i doesnt work
[17:58] <soreau> badnaam: Now, can you explain exactly what is not working about it or what changed since it began to fail?
[17:58] <prodigel> KurtKraut, even restarting sendmail service took a minute or so ..
[17:58] <Guest579> i am having a problems with ubuntu lts latest version, when i boot, the dhcp client seems hang right after reboot, works if i retry, any ideas?
[17:58] <judget> soreau sure
[17:58] <Pici> tshirt: What does ls -al say about that file?
[17:59] <badnaam> soreau I am connected to the same router over ethernet which works fine,
[17:59] <soreau> badnaam: Ah ok, so your driver is probably fine but every time you go to connect, it just goes back to prompting for password
[17:59] <wikiik> hi i've created a header file from a c program
[17:59] <badnaam> soreau that's correct
[18:00] <umislack> if i install ubuntu 64bit, will wine also emulate a 64bit version of windows ?
[18:00] <Daekdroom> umislack, no
[18:00] <soreau> badnaam: have you tried anything to fix it yet like reboot or anything?
[18:00] <KurtKraut> prodigel, I don't know where sendmail logs are stored because I don't use sendmail. But the first step to find what is wrong is reading the logs. I'll have to find where they are and read them.
[18:00] <wikiik> the problem is that when i use function declared in this c file from another file including the header file, it doesn't find the funcion when it links
[18:00] <umislack> Daekdroom, ok, thank you
[18:00] <wikiik> how can i solve the proble?
[18:00] <badnaam> soreau yes i rebooted, disabled wireless and enabled again, entered the passwords multiple times
[18:00] <soreau> judget: Yea I don't know how to make nm-applet appear in your panel though it should be relatively trivial
[18:01] <tshirt> pici i cannot create diretly from gedit.  gedit must have privilegees and that via terminal
[18:01] <prodigel> KurtKraut, K thanks very much. I have to go now
[18:01] <Pici> tshirt: Yes, you'd need to make an intial change via the terminal to be able to make or edit files there
[18:01] <azlon> i checked my sound settings in System > Preferences > Sound, but still no audio (and i did check the volume levels)
[18:02] <soreau> badnaam: What encryption type is it?
[18:02] <badnaam> wep 64 bit
[18:02] <badnaam> soreau wep 64 bit
[18:02] <judget> soreau it seems that my notofocation area is not functioning properly becoz nothing i have open creates an icxon there?
[18:02] <soreau> badnaam: The only thing I can think is that NetworkManager is being weird.. can you trying killing this process as well as nm-applet then try connecting through CLI?
[18:03] <soreau> judget: I know how to do some wifi and graphics driver stuff but ubuntu GUI stuff, their panel on all that notification stuff is beyond me
[18:03] <badnaam> soreau, sure..how do I do that? I don't see a way to kill the process over networking manager ile. if Nm is the applet you see when you click on the taskbar
[18:03] <tshirt> pici. all files are -rw-r--r--
[18:03] <soreau> it either works or it doesn't, seems it's not in your case :P
[18:04] <tshirt> pici on /var/www
[18:04] <Guest579> anybody have any problems with dhcp right after boot?
[18:04] <soreau> badnaam: pastebin the output of 'ps ax|egrep -i "net|nm"
[18:04] <Guest77121> e ai alguem do brasil
[18:04] <soreau> badnaam: pastebin the output of 'ps ax|egrep -i "net|nm"|grep -v grep'
[18:04] <judget> soreau yea it has always just worked for me in the past but it seems to be misbehaving on this new install
[18:04] <judget> do u know how to add network manager to the panel?
[18:04] <soreau> judget: What encryption type do you have?
[18:04] <Pici> tshirt: Then you'd need to let them be writable by anyone in that group: sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/
[18:05] <judget> on my home wifi i have wep
[18:05] <Guest77121> e ai alguém pode me ajudar como eu posso gravar um filme no DVD que eu não estou sabendo pelo ubuntu
[18:05] <soreau> judget: network manager is sort of the backend to nm-applet, which provides the little icon
[18:05] <soreau> judget: In sys>prefs>startup programs, is it starting network manager and nm-applet?
[18:06] <soreau> judget: but you said your notification area is broken because it displays notifications from no program
[18:06] <tshirt> pici BIG THANKS
[18:06] <parejita> jj
[18:06] <Pici> tshirt: np
[18:06] <badnaam> soreau. here it is..http://pastebin.org/310182, an update, I jst deleted the connection and set up another connection and now its connected. but I still wonder why it happened and why wireless is pain in general
[18:06] <gimpy> I have a media center with Ubuntu and sound stopped working out of no where.  PulseAudio is running, all volume is turned up, neither audio jacks give any sound, any ideas?
[18:06] <azlon> i can get audio through my ip phone when i make that the default audio device, but not through the motherboard... how can i configure this?
[18:06] <MaT-dg> Sometimes ubuntu doesn't respond to mouseclicks anymore. I can move the pointer, interact with the keyboard but can't click anywhere.
[18:07] <judget> soreau NM is checked in sys prefs startup
[18:07] <judget> hmmm also have wicd network manager tray
[18:07] <MyWay> gimpy: did you upgrade it?
[18:07] <judget> maybe i should remove wicd
[18:08] <FlaffyBE> hi, can anyone explain me the benefits (if they exist) of Grub-efi-amd64 over grub-pc
[18:08] <soreau> badnaam: No idea, but I suspect the automagic handling they attempt with network manager and gui stuffs. I usually can all of that and connect manually when my ubuntu boots so it always gets connected and doesn't annoyingly ask for keys and passwords all the time
[18:08] <azlon> gimpy: im having the same problem, let me know if you find a fix
[18:08] <gimpy> MyWay: No recent changes, this was originally a clean install of Karmic
[18:08] <kermit> why is my atop.log 200MB?
[18:08] <judget> soreau do I need wicd?
[18:08] <soreau> judget: No
[18:08] <judget> ok i thought not
[18:08] <badnaam> soreau, am I using the coreect network manager?
[18:08] <judget> in the past it just worked in 9.10
[18:09] <soreau> badnaam: The correct one for ubuntu, yes
[18:09] <Guest579> why is update server so slow
[18:09] <MaT-dg> FlaffyBE: are you on a mac by any chance?
[18:09] <soreau> judget: Like I said, it's already working. It's just your panel is screwed up. Have you tried restarting it? (with 'killall gnome-panel')
[18:09] <badnaam> soreau, ok, well I guess thats just the way it is eh? thanks for your help!
[18:09] <gimpy> Guest579: I'm having no problems with the servers.
[18:09] <IdleOne> Guest579: try changing servers in System > Admin > Software Sources
[18:09] <soreau> badnaam: so you just deleted something from the panel and re-added it?
[18:10] <Digistras> so which 1 is more recomended? fedora or ubuntu...read up a few but still can't see the difference?
[18:10] <badnaam> question for the forum in general, how many have upgraded to the latest 10.x version, is it stable enough for a noob to try?
[18:10] <MyWay> gimpy: because i had the same problem today and i solved doing: sudo adduser $USER audio then rebooting
[18:10] <judget> soreau yea did that just now
[18:10] <soreau> badnaam: yea 10.04 should be fine (worksforme)
[18:10] <badnaam> soreau, that's correct, deleted my existing wireless connection and readded the same thing
[18:10] <soreau> badnaam: ok
[18:10] <|dastan|> i hve xp & win7. want to delete win7 & install ubuntu. how to go about it?
[18:10] <gimpy> MyWay: I'll try that
[18:10] <badnaam> soreau, may be an upgrade will fix the nm kinks
[18:10] <judget> soreau i think i will do some search for issues with gnome panel in 10.04
[18:11] <Guest579> gimpy, IdleOne, why is dhcp hanging right after reboot (works fine if i retry)?
[18:11] <gimpy> dastan: XP and 7 in a dual boot on the same machine?
[18:11] <soreau> judget: good idea.
[18:11] <|dastan|> gimpy, yes. it also contains fedora 11
[18:12] <IdleOne> Guest579: no idea
[18:12] <Guest579> gimpy, IdleOne, must have something to do with the quick boot implementation
[18:12] <zver> sravanje: you still need my help?
[18:12] <gimpy> dastan: If you have free space on your hard drive, just run the Ubuntu installer, it will see the other OS and do a multi-boot for you.  But BACK UP FIRST.
[18:12] <judget> becoz there was always a network icon and if i clicked it would show me the wireless net avail
[18:13] <gimpy> dastan: Figurte out which partition Windows 7 is and remove it during the install of Ubuntu and tell ubuntu to use that partition
[18:13] <kermit> how much free space do i need to upgrade to 10.4?
[18:13] <|dastan|> gimpy, what about the mbr of win7 that has overwritten xp's? won't that cause a prob?
[18:14] <bittin> Hello, i was trying to Update my Grand Paretns Kubuntu, system but Kpackagekit failed when it was 22minutes left of installing packages and i rebooted the computer, to see what happend and now i got a broken Kubuntu system, is there anyway to let it continue the update, or check what packages its missing?
[18:14] <XVampireX> Hi I'm using 10.04 can anyone please help me out with optimizing intel graphics?
[18:14] <gimpy> dastan: Ubuntu will over-write that with GRUB
[18:14] <Guest579> gimpy, IdleOne, archive.ubuntu.com is very slow for me, ~10 kb/s :(
[18:14] <parejita> olaaa
[18:14] <acicula> |dastan|, xp and win7 will have boot information on their own partition, so you should be able to safely change the MBR
[18:14] <parejita> alguna parejaa?¿
[18:15] <acicula> (and boot the partitions directly via chainloading, but ubuntu should detect those)
[18:15] <alkemann> i want to shift+ctrl drag and drop a file to create a symlink, but i get permission denied. how do I sudo a drag and drop?
[18:15] <acicula> *that
[18:15] <kermit> will upgrading check to see if i have enough space before starting?
[18:15] <zver> !servanje anyway for running your java applets you can use appletviewer
[18:15] <acicula> alkemann, you could run nautilus as root via gksu, but its not really recommended, what are you trying to symlink?
[18:15] <IdleOne> Guest579: change servers in System > Administration > Software Sources.
[18:16] <Guest579> i did

[18:18] <Guest579> IdleOne, it doesn't give me a list of geographically marked servers
[18:18] <Guest28306> i've tried installing alsa, and nothing seems to work for me
[18:19] <Guest579> IdleOne, never mind, found it
[18:19] <badnaam> soreau, i spoke too soon, it looked like it connected but it actually isn't
[18:19] <azlon> gimpy: were you able to fix your audio?
[18:19] <IdleOne> Guest579: click on the dropdown menu where the server is listed and select other

[18:19] <IdleOne> Guest579: that will bring up a list and then you can navigate to a server that is better for you
[18:19] <gimpy> azlon: Nope, still broken.

[18:20] <tshirt> You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[18:20] <Guest579> IdleOne, now if only i could fix this network issue
[18:20] <FloodBot4> tshirt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:20] <IdleOne> Guest579: also in that window list there is a Select best server button
[18:20] <rosco_y> Does anyone have a recommendation for a favorite cdrom burning software?
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> rosco_y:  to make audio cd? or just data cd? I tend to use k3b mainly
[18:20] <rosco_y> data cd
[18:20] <acicula> tshirt, its a system directory thats not writeable by everyone, which is proably what you want when you are running a php webserver
[18:20] <bazhang> !burners | rosco_y

[18:22] <Mekzholan1> Oh, it was a bit bussy, so I dare to ask again:
[18:22] <Mekzholan1> what's the correct upstart trigger to wait wait for (start on ...) if I need to wait till all networking interfaces are ready, including DHCP?
[18:22] <rosco_y> Guest28306: did you run the alsamixer at the command line?
[18:22] <Guest28306> yeah i did

[18:23] <badnaam> can someone help me with my wireless problem please?
[18:23] <solow> acicula, It's still not doing what I want it to do. I just want to remove everything I've done and start over
[18:24] <gimpy> jdneat: You sure 30 in a RAID5 is a good idea?  Why not a 50 or something?
[18:24] <mondragon> anyone know why when you use dhcp for an interface in /etc/network/interfaces, you can't set any other options?

[18:27] <badnaam> i think I my system acquired a virus!
[18:27] <badnaam> please help!
[18:27] <acicula> solow, hmm guess it doesnt purge the db settings, you'll have to manually reset the mysql root password(its not related to the system root account) then.
[18:27] <rosco_y> badnaam: you are running ubuntu?
[18:28] <rosco_y> badnaam: what makes you think you have a virus?

[18:32] <rosco_y> badnaam: are you in a very populated area?
[18:32] <doner> badnaam try to reboot your computer
[18:32] <badnaam> rosco_y no, this is not normal, I have already rebooted

[18:32] <badnaam> you can tell that theset nwroks are not really real or something else is going on, virus or whatever it is
[18:32] <Pinguxero> buenas
[18:33] <rosco_y> badnaam: maybe you can get by ignoring those weird connections
[18:33] <doner> solow, find in synaptic "php"
[18:33] <rosco_y> maybe it'
[18:33] <rosco_y> maybe it's sunspot activity
[18:33] <badnaam> sure only if I can connect to the one I want to
[18:33] <rosco_y> signals are bouncing farther than they normally do
[18:33] <rosco_y> have you gone into your modem's admin menu?
[18:33] <goddard> Is it possible to use an onboard GPU plus PCI express GPU?
[18:34] <rosco_y> check if everything is ok in there
[18:34] <badnaam> Yep, I have been setting up this connection, everything is set up just fine
[18:34] <rosco_y> badnaam: can you delete your current connection, and create a new one?  (alert: I'm a newbie--don't even know if you can do that in Linux)

[18:36] <goddard> peter_curry did you reboot?
[18:36] <acicula> goddard, yes
[18:36] <goddard> acicula how?
[18:36] <Guest579> man, all mirrors are slow as hell
[18:36] <peter_curry> goddard: that would help?  I'm in the middle of downloading the ISO for Ubuntu 10.04, though ...
[18:37] <BenFrank> hi all.  I was just on my courscompass site doing trig homework, and in the middle of the lesson, buttons such as "pi, square root" quit working.  I know certain areas of the site require correct java and flash config, but that's all I know
[18:37] <dEx_> wich vnc client can manage to connect to a realvnc server?
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> dEx_: any as vncprotocol is standardised
[18:37] <dEx_> vncviewer always dies saying Connection reset by peer (104)
[18:37] <dEx_> after giving him the PW
[18:37] <acicula> goddard, think you have to run a second X server for the second gpu
[18:37] <BenFrank> I usually research way before asking, but im sure the problem is unique
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> dEx_: the server app is moot, as long as its vnc, then vnc is vnc so any client will do
[18:38] <goddard> acicula ahh interesting
[18:38] <acicula> something like switching or hybrid(or hydra) is not supported though
[18:38] <rosco_y> peter_curry: wait until your download finishes, and then reboot
[18:38] <dEx_> so why does vncviewer dies after the pw prompt?
[18:39] <dontknowwhere2lo> hi there..
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> dEx_: launch it from a terminal, what is output? it may give clues
[18:39] <rosco_y> dEx_: I wonder if your password is the same on both ends?
[18:39] <dEx_> it is
[18:39] <dontknowwhere2lo> i'm looking for sis vga drivers for peppermint os
[18:39] <peter_curry> rosco_y: can you explain to me how rebooting helps? what's the issue?  Usually it will just recognize the CD without a problem.  Or am I still thinking like a Windows user?
[18:39] <dontknowwhere2lo> anyone..?
[18:39] <dEx_> it says connected to host <IP>
[18:39] <dEx_> prompt the protocol version
[18:39] <dEx_> and ask for the pw
[18:39] <rosco_y> dEx_: what about your ports, do you need to specify a port?
[18:39] <bazhang> dontknowwhere2lo, then seek peppermint os support; this is Ubuntu
[18:39] <victor_> всем привет
[18:39] <dEx_> then it says read: Connection reset by peer (104=
[18:40] <bazhang> !ru | victor_
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> dontknowwhere2lo: peppermint isnt supported here, this is ubuntu support only
[18:40] <dEx_> i did and its forwarded
[18:40] <BenFrank> any java, flash geniuses in here?

[18:40] <ActionParsnip> BenFrank: i can install the plugins for browsers is as far as i go
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | pip
[18:40] <BluesKaj> hmm, dhclient and /etc/network/interfaces don't seem to be starting at boot up ... any ideas ?
[18:41] <rosco_y> I'm more comfortable recommending a reboot tho--it seems more benign
[18:41] <Pip> ActionParsnip, The existing grub is grub 1
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Pip: grub and grub2 are the same on any Linux as its the same project

[18:56] <kaushal> how do i empty multiple files
[18:56] <ouyes> nick[0], you mean word
[18:56] <rethus> have connected my wm6.5 pda with xubuntu 10.04. and i see eth2 (RNDIS) as conected device. How can i act with it?
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> ouyes: you don't need cat there dude

[18:57] <Azur12> hi
[18:57] <ouyes> nick[0], so they are lines  words and bytes count
[18:57] <ouyes> ActionParsnip, what ?
[18:57] <azlon> ok, so i found out i have 3 audio devices, my graphics card, my motherboard, and my internet phone... how can i force linux to use the motherboard? this is the output of my cat /proc/asound/cards: http://www.pastebin.org/310365
[18:57] <ouyes> ActionParsnip, why I do not need
[18:57] <jrib> tripelb: what did you try exactly?
[18:57] <DeliriumNocturnu> no dice, eh?
[18:57] <mondragon> does ufw remember the applications I've allowed, and where?
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> ouyes: you don't need the cat or `s in the command
[18:57] <ouyes> why
[18:57] <enzo> hi
[18:57] <Azur12> hola hay alguna persona que hable español?
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> tripelb:  one way. make a 2 line 'shell script' that  has the following lines. '#!/bin/bash      gedit /path/to/your/file.txt'   (on 2 lines) then chmod +x the script. and make a launcher that launches the script.
[18:58] <jrib> !es | Azur12
[18:58] <nick[0]> ouyes: yes.  subfolders will be counted as "files"
[18:58] <enzo> I have a PCI wifi card in a server, and sometimes, I'd like to avoid wifi emission (really no wifi at all), do you think a simple ifconfig wlan0 down is enough ?
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> ouyes: you can just use: find ./ -type f | wc   and it will work
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> tripelb:  or make a launcher that runs 'gedit /path./to.your/thing.txt
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> enzo: i'd say so
[18:58] <nick[0]> actionparsnip: ouyes: exactly.  :-)
[18:58] <ouyes> ActionParsnip, nope
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> enzo: you could even rmmod the driver module
[18:59] <ouyes> ActionParsnip, I need to get all the information about the files in the fold
[18:59] <enzo> yes ActionParsnip
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> ouyes: works here.

[19:00] <enzo> and ifconfig wlan0 up, then, even if wifi is misconfigurred, there'll be wifi emission right ?
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> enzo: it will routinely scan as far as i remember
[19:00] <enzo> ok ActionParsnip so wifi emission...
[19:00] <enzo> thanks

[19:04] <enzo> ActionParsnip: I could test is a ifconfig wlan0 down is enough by launching a soft that detect wifi emission, you know a soft to do that ?
[19:04] <Pip> ActionParsnip, there is a grub.cfg file in /boot/grub on ubuntu /boot, and I referenced that file when adding the entry
[19:04] <RaglanRoad> everything is responding slowly
[19:04] <enzo> maybe wifi radar ?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Pip: then it'll need tweaking, i'm not good with grub as I only single boot
[19:04] <Pip> ActionParsnip, Does it have anything to do with encrypted file system ?
[19:05] <BenFrank> ActionParsnip: wow.  i couldn't find this 9 months ago.  it would have made it easier the first time.  thank you very much!

[19:09] <Dragonuv> ActionParsnip: wait, I said I want to restart to windwos from windows

However, I prefer Gnome and would like to have it back. I posted a thread about this here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1500721&page=2  Any suggestions?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> DeliriumNocturnu: then save the file, close gedit and try the web
[19:26] <DeliriumNocturnu> the nameservers i am using should be working
[19:26] <ht1> ActionParsnip, why the bios can't have extra program for installing an os?

[19:26] <DeliriumNocturnu> the actual package name is linux-source?

[19:27] <DeliriumNocturnu> sudo apt-get install linux-source can not find the package
[19:28] <tic^> DeliriumNocturnu: yes, make sure you have "source code" selected in "Software Sources" app.
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> ht1: you can PXE boot the system from the network if your BIOS supports but you will need a PXE server, theres a distro which will boot off a server online but i forgot its name

[19:32] <edbian> Where does banshee store it's album art?

[19:32] <guntbert> !askthebot | MrPicard
[19:32] <konbon> i assume gdm is Gnome Destktop Manager?
[19:32] <konbon> am i right?
[19:32] <soreau> konbon: you can either use ssh -X <app> or get X running then a vnc server so you can use a vnc client to vnc view the desktop
[19:33] <Docteh_> oh from ssh, didn't see that whoops
[19:33] <konbon> Oh, nice, thanks :)
[19:33] <edbian> konbon, if you're ssh ing into the server you need to forward the X session using the -X option when you connect initially.
[19:33] <guntbert> konbon, gnome display manager
[19:33] <konbon> ic
[19:33] <konbon> yeah, its a vpn i rented
[19:33] <Docteh_> konbon: ssh -X and gnome-session if you're hardcore and want everything
[19:33] <soreau> konbon: Does the server have a physical monitor connected to it? if not, gdm/X may not want to start
[19:33] <konbon> thought it was desktop, turns out its ssh + vnc only
[19:34] <RedXIII> http://www.slitaz.org/en/devel/index.html#kiss <- lol. "Keep it simple."

[19:35] <konbon> I'll try some of those triggers when its all done :)
[19:35] <Docteh_> konbon: VPN as in virtual private network, or do you mean like a vm (virtual machine)

[19:35] <[diablo]> soreau, sorry, no graphics
[19:35] <saykou> ActionParsnip, i couldn't install, i runned the script with root and all but no luck, i have the newst version of ubuntu
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> saykou: i ran the script with sudo, hed down enter then copied the .so files in ~/.mozilla/plugins to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/
[19:35] <soreau> [diablo]: You will have to elaborate on what you mean by 'no graphics'
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> saykou: you dont run it as root, run it as your user with sudo
[19:36] <[diablo]> soreau, Xorg does not run
[19:36] <soreau> [diablo]: Is it a clean install or an upgrade?
[19:36] <[diablo]> soreau, should it find the correct ATI driver by default? (And yes, clean install)
[19:36] <saykou> ActionParsnip, i know
[19:36] <soreau> [diablo]: Did X work in the live session?
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> saykou: why are you running it as root?
[19:36] <saykou> ActionParsnip, thats what i deed, thats what i ment by saying as root
[19:36] <[diablo]> soreau, yep on live was OK,
[19:36] <Dr_Willis> florian_:  its possible to have one machine play sound out of the speakers of a different machine on the same lan via pulse audio settings.

[19:37] <[diablo]> soreau, with the radeon.modeset=0
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> saykou: possibly a bad download then

[19:37] <[diablo]> soreau, not right this second... their using it atm (Windows yuk)... will be back later tho
[19:38] <saykou> ActionParsnip, by the way, i dont have an /~mozzilla folder, hum, i have the new ubuntu maybe thats the problem
[19:38] <soreau> [diablo]: well I might not be here later. Better to ask for support when you actually have access to the machine (and time to mess with it)
[19:38] <netech> how do i force my wireless usb nic to use the rt2870 drivers?
[19:38] <jakexks> perhaps you have a ~/.mozilla folder, if not a /~mozzilla one ;)
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> saykou: make sure you either make the folder or launch crappy firefox
[19:39] <[diablo]> soreau, ok thanks

[19:39] <Pip> Is there a way to load ubuntu installed with grub2 from grub ?
[19:39] <saykou> ActionParsnip, gonna try
[19:39] <EntityReborn> Is there any way I can get a copy of the ubuntu repo? I'd mirror it, but my internet is crap slow.
[19:40] <[diablo]> ok thank you soreau
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Pip: sure, if you install grub2 it should detect the OSes afaik
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Pip: could as in #grub
[19:41] <ouyes> ffelf, yes it works in windows
[19:41] <soreau> [diablo]: If you don't get a response here later, pastebin your X log and show the link to #radeon (you must have a registered irc nick to speak there)
[19:41] <[diablo]> ok soreau ciao
[19:42] <Docteh_> Pip: grub just needs to know where the kernel and initrd are, and to get passed a root device, so yes. you can even boot from grub to grub2 if you want
[19:42] <ouyes> ffelf, in windows , the system will recognise my storm a modem and I can get internet by the modem on my cell phone
[19:42] <Pip> ActionParsnip, First of all, I'm not sure if I installed grub on the partition where ubuntu is installed ; secondly I'm not on ubuntu, and I can't get ubuntu booted after installation since there is no loading program that loads ubuntu successfully, there is an existing grub installed on MBR, but I tried to edit the menu.lst file on another Linux dist , but still could not get newly installed ubuntu booted
[19:43] <Pip> Docteh_, that's the problem, I got Error 15: File not found
[19:43] <Pip> Weird
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> Pip: you can boot to the other OSes and install grub2 there, or boot to ubuntu livecd and install grub2 thre
[19:43] <Docteh_> Pip: probe around for the right (hd0,1) etc from the grub prompt
[19:43] <Pip> There are vmlinz and  initrd file there in /boot
[19:43] <Pip> ActionParsnip, why do I need to install grub2 ?
[19:43] <Docteh_> just type "kernel (hd" and hit tab twice
[19:44] <Pip> Since I have a grub on MBR already
[19:44] <PFA> back again -_-
[19:44] <tundrayeti311> from the command line, is there a way to launch a program on a seperate thread? ( if im using the terminology correctly ) e.g. id like to do 'gedit test.txt' and launch gedit and had the command prompt returned
[19:44] <Docteh_> Pip: ubuntu is currently in the push grub2 to everyone phase ;)
[19:44] <Pip> Docteh_, yes, I did that too, at first the root line works fine, but the following kernel line just didn't give me anything
[19:44] <Pip> kernel /boot/ and I got messed characters
[19:45] <strings> dragonuv, check this link http://tiny.cc/078t0. look at the comments. hth

[19:45] <lindsaymobil22> hey, in ubuntu jaunty, fullscreen online videos stutter, its fine in windows, is there anything to fix it?
[19:45] <Pip> Docteh_, tab should work, but I got messed characters
[19:45] <lindsaymobil22> offline videos are fine
[19:45] <Pip> I don't know why
[19:46] <EntityReborn> lindsaymobil22, upgrade your distro
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: do you mean flash video or embedded videos?
[19:46] <HollowPoint> Anyone know why, after installing a LAMP server with Lucid, and then browse to a php file on the server, it downloads the file, instead of displaying the page?
[19:46] <tundrayeti311> HollowPoint: you don't have apache or an equivalent running then afaik
[19:46] <lindsaymobil22> Actionparsnip: i think flash, its only when their in fullscreen, say i wanna watch family guy online, i have to go to windows
[19:47] <Docteh_> Pip: skip the root line and try for like kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-22-generic
[19:47] <HollowPoint> trust me tundrayeti311 apache is running
[19:47] <lindsaymobil22> EntityReborn: No, i like jaunty
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> HollowPoint: run: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
[19:47] <HollowPoint> done ActionParsnip
[19:47] <piyushmishra> i think i have made some upgrade which I shouldnt have made
[19:47] <MrPicard> hi guys, im trying to install shoutcast on a ubuntu box, does anyone have any wiki guides for this?
[19:47] <Pip> Docteh_, let me show you
[19:47] <piyushmishra> my comp hangs n gives read errors on restart
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: can you use: http://pastebin.com   and give the output of:  uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[19:47] <Pip> Docteh_, hd1 ?
[19:48] <Pip> here it should be hd0,4
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> HollowPoint: I got that from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP   which has exactly what you described under troubleshooting
[19:48] <HollowPoint> yeah I know
[19:48] <Pip> Docteh_, ActionParsnip please take a look ---> http://pastebin.com/RuqErpn1
[19:48] <lindsaymobil22> ActionParsnip: are uname -a and things like that to be done in the terminal?
[19:49] <HollowPoint> remember I'm actually an IT engineer mate, but I've had this on three different machines, with three different installs of Lucid now, and it's p****ng me off
[19:49] <tundrayeti311> HollowPoint: is there a config file to specify file formats? need to list '.php' maybe? should be dfault but just brainstorming here
[19:49] <HollowPoint> the fact is, this shouldn't happen at all
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: yes, run it as one command and use the site to give the output, copy the address bar when you click submit
[19:49] <HollowPoint> sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server apache2 should not have this problem following it, Karmic never did.
[19:49] <piyushmishra> can anyone tell me how to revert last 24 hours installations?
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> Pip: i'm not good at grub dude, i've never had to mess wit it as I never dual boot
[19:49] <xnox> i did something horrible...... I've just deleted the partitions map of my main harddrive using gparted. I'm still logged in. is there way to restore?
[19:49] <Pip> Docteh_, ActionParsnip when booting, it chose it to boot from grub menu and I got Error 15, File not found
[19:50] <Pip> ActionParsnip, Okay, thanks all the same
[19:50] <piyushmishra> sudo tasksel then lamp server will be the best
[19:50] <xnox> xnox, it should be gpt
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> Pip: use: sudo blkid   to make sure the UUID is right and that the boot files you specified are correct
[19:50] <xnox> and it's a dualboot with mac os x
[19:50] <bmack> i just installed the restricted drivers for my video card and rebooted now the ubuntu plymoth boot logo is really huge, how do i change the resolution size of the boot logo?
[19:50] <Docteh_> Pip: verify the boot device in the grub command line, the syntax looks good but sometimes linux and grub see things differently
[19:50] <BluesKaj> xnox,  open edit /undo
[19:50] <lindsaymobil22> ActionParsnip: Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

[19:51] <Docteh_> Pip: grub command line as in, at the menu it has, press c before you boot :)

[19:51] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: ok run: sudo apt-get --purge remove  adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[19:51] <xnox> yet
[19:52] <dagny_ta1gart> xnox: sorry, not familiar with gui
[19:52] <Docteh_> Pip: what is hd(0,4)? sda5?
[19:52] <Pip> Docteh_, yep
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: you downloaded the deb from the adobe site, the package you need is on the repo and you don't need to visit the adobe site
[19:53] <xnox> dagny_ta1gart, partition map is removed. I need to somehow recreated from thin air to match what it used to be moments ago =)
[19:53] <BluesKaj> xnox,  is undo greyed out /
[19:53] <lindsaymobil22> ActionParsnip: i ran the command you gave me, its flash player is installed
[19:53] <lindsaymobil22> again
[19:53] <Pip> Docteh_, correct syntax ?
[19:53] <Docteh_> yup
[19:54] <Pip> Docteh_, in kernel line, it says file not found

[19:54] <BluesKaj> xnox,  bummer
[19:55] <infid> how can i access the system > admin > hardware drivers from the command line?
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> infid: gksudo jockey-gtk
[19:56] <xnox> BluesKaj, yeah =) my laptop is plugged in & I hope none of the applications will freeze
[19:57] <lindsaymobil22> Actionparsnip: nope, still got stuttering and lines across fullscreen online video
[19:57] <bmathise> I can only boot into the command line (Lucid). Any way I can get Gnome back? There is more detailed info here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1500721&page=2
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: what is the output of:  lspci | grep -i vga
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> bmathise: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm
[19:58] <lindsaymobil22> ActionParsnip: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[19:58] <bmathise> Thanks ActionParsnip :)
[19:58] <tundrayeti311> from the command line, is there a way to launch a program on a seperate thread? ( if im using the terminology correctly ) e.g. id like to do 'gedit test.txt' and launch gedit and had the command prompt returned
[19:59] <lindsaymobil22> ActionParsnip: my graphics card is an inte gma4500m, as i say it works fine in windows
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: yeah those things aren't great. you may need to form an xorg.conf file to specify better options to make it run nice
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: what windows does is moot
[19:59] <trism> tundrayeti311: gedit test.txt &
[20:00] <tundrayeti311> trism: nice tyvm
[20:00] <wieshka> QUESTION: how secure is to do ubuntu jaunty server update to lucid by just editing sources.list file for apt ?
[20:00] <lindsaymobil22> ActionParsnip: there is an update in the update manager for xorg, but it only specifies for certain intel cards, ive been to hardware devices, only a spare wireless driver. i also tried editing xorg with sudo gedit xorg.conf, it was blank
[20:00] <wieshka> anybody has ever had after problems /
[20:00] <wieshka> ?
[20:01] <wieshka> basicly running apache/postgresql/mysql/zimbra
[20:01] <wieshka> some custom perl scripts also
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: you use gksudo for gedit, not sudo
[20:01] <erUSUL> wieshka: use the recomended method ? do-release-upgrade ?
[20:02] <stond> I need help install a theme for the login screen
[20:02] <erUSUL> !upgrade | wieshka
[20:02] <hypn0> ActionParsnip, is there a command to create an xorg.conf file?
[20:02] <PFA> if i'm going to back up my files and do a clean install of 10.04, do i need anything outside of my home directory?
[20:02] <lindsaymobil22> Actionparsnip: should i try that?
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: lucid doesn't ship with an xorg.conf file, but if one is present it woll be obeyed
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: you will need to hunt online for sample files to use
[20:02] <erUSUL> PFA: maybe something you tweaked in /etc/ ?
[20:02] <lindsaymobil22> ActionParsnip: i use Jaunty
[20:03] <PFA> erUSUL: don't think i've done anything in there...
[20:03] <stond> how do I install a login screen theme in Ubuntu10.04
[20:03] <wieshka> erUSUL: erUSUL from documentation i supouse that at first i have to do update from jaunty to karmic
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> lindsaymobil22: yeah it doesn't have one
[20:03] <wieshka> and than jump to lucid
[20:03] <wieshka> ?
[20:03] <erUSUL> PFA: then should be ok; i guess
[20:03] <erUSUL> wieshka: correct
[20:03] <PFA> thanks
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> hypn0: lindsaymobil22: use: sudo Xorg -configure

[20:14] <james296> hey has anyone here at all noticed issues when trying to add third party ppas in synaptic?
[20:14] <acicula> prodigaldax, you mean pcap?
[20:14] <james296> when I try to add any, it fails after about 3 minutes or so of a frozen synaptic
[20:14] <prodigaldax> acicula, yes
[20:15] <underclock> anyone familiar with "jumperfree mode" on Asus motherboards, thanks.
[20:15] <old-old> got a problem where the nvidia restricted drivers are not detecting monitor right (westinghouse lcd) and so won't go above 640x480.  how can I fix this?
[20:15] <BluesKaj> james296,  pgp key probs maybe
[20:15] <acicula> prodigaldax, you can install pcap and the pcap-dev libraries
[20:15] <jrib> underclock: just ask your ubuntu-related question
[20:15] <james296> for any pgp??
[20:15] <prodigaldax> ok, thanks
[20:15] <acicula> prodigaldax, via apt-get
[20:15] <james296> its not just one
[20:15] <underclock> I am, I am running Ubuntu on the board mentioned
[20:15] <prodigaldax> i thought there was a configure.help setting to allow packet capture
[20:16] <jrib> underclock: ok.  But what is your question?
[20:16] <erUSUL> james296: maybe keyserver.ubuntu.com is down ? (it happens a lot)
[20:16] <james296> but its not I went on that and it said its up
[20:16] <underclock> how do I enable jumperfree mode on my motherboard so I can set my cpu clock properly
[20:16] <acicula> prodigaldax, configure is used to compile a source package, or rather to make it ready for compilation, not sure what you are trying to do really
[20:16] <jrib> underclock: that's not an ubuntu question, try ##hardware maybe
[20:17] <chazco> Hi... Ubuntu keeps logging me out... it's a fresh 9.10 install... no prompts or anything, it just suddenly goes to the login screen... any ideas?
[20:17] <james296> I go there and in big bold letters says the words It Works!
[20:17] <underclock> I don't understand ##hardware
[20:17] <prodigaldax> i'm prepping my netbook for wireshark
[20:17] <acicula> prodigaldax, wireshark is a package also
[20:17] <james296> so whats up with the pgp issues Im getting?
[20:17] <jrib> underclock: asus has support forums, try there
[20:17] <mneptok> underclock: that's a BIOS function, mot an OS function.
[20:18] <acicula> prodigaldax, via apt-get
[20:18] <mneptok> *not
[20:18] <prodigaldax> it says i need to ensure that my netbook will allow packet capture,
[20:18] <prodigaldax> following instructions :/
[20:18] <aretrfre34> I want fake mic input by dumping in it my wav mp3s, how do fake mic, is it possible?
[20:18] <xynta_> Hello, Im running Ubuntu 9.04 and when im watching Youtube with the Epiphany browser, in TOP it says it's using 60% CPU usage -- is this normal? (its a new machine)
[20:18] <james296> I wonder if the issue Im having is related to synaotic itself?
[20:19] <underclock> I understand that, but in bios it tells me to enable jumperfree mode to change clock speed/s, I cannot figure out how to make jumperfree mode
[20:19] <jrib> xynta_: yes, flash sucks
[20:19] <edbian> xynta_, flash on linux is not very efficient.  It takes a lot of cpu
[20:19] <underclock> thanks
[20:19] <erUSUL> underclock: probably it uses a windows only app to tweak things ... we  can not help with that here sorry
[20:19] <aretrfre34> xynta_: what machine you are running on?
[20:19] <underclock> no problem
[20:20] <BluesKaj> james296,  normally the pgp key is added by the cli not the package manager
[20:20] <bid> what do i need to install on the server in order to use sz from my ssh client?
[20:20] <xynta_> aretrfre34, AMD Phenom II (multicore), 4 gb memory, Radeon HD 5570
[20:20] <jrib> bid: "sz"?
[20:20] <prodigaldax> acicula: I have more questions about wireshark configurations relating to ubuntu and my wlan card settings, are you ok with tips on this?
[20:20] <james296> well I dont want to have to add it from command...
[20:20] <lindsaymobil22> ActionParsnip: did you see my pastebin? http://pastebin.com/RQ8pdFW1
[20:21] <james296> and I did that before and it timed out
[20:21] <bid> it let you copy files from your local machine to the remote
[20:21] <jrib> bid: you mean scp?
[20:21] <bid> similler
[20:21] <james296> anyway, I have to get to bed as I work tonight bye
[20:21] <acicula> prodigaldax, what do you need wireshark for exactly?
[20:21] <bid> let me google it for a sec
[20:22] <jrib> bid: sz seems to be in the zssh package
[20:22] <prodigaldax> acicula: i'm experimenting with packet capture and network security, it seems to be the easiest app to learn on
[20:22] <aretrfre34> xynta_: what plugin you are using to play flash?
[20:23] <erUSUL> !find sz
[20:23] <xynta_> aretrfre34, adobe flash

[20:25] <deco> EntityReborn: read the apache docs
[20:25] <PFA> scunizi: i believe so
[20:25] <MrPicard> hi guys, how do you switch off iptables?
[20:25] <esus> !salve
[20:25] <esus> !list
[20:25] <scunizi> PFA: then that is the issue.. you had/have a file that is larger than 4 gigs.. fat32 can't handle that..
[20:25] <PFA> FML :)
[20:25] <PFA> thanks.
[20:26] <aretrfre34> xynta_: nevermind
[20:26] <acicula> EntityReborn, i'd assume you can define those in hosts too(and separately in the apache virtual host definitions)

[20:29] <Warlord> Why? I don't wanna lose the 3d effect. :/
[20:30] <randomhelper> Warlord: sudo killall compiz
[20:30] <xangua> Warlord: if yu are using the open source drivers then try with the propietary drivers
[20:30] <soreau> Warlord: The issue is with the nvidia driver, which compiz exposes. Maybe you can try making sure vsync settings are enabled in ccsm and nvidia-settings, then check ccsm>workarounds sync options there

[20:37] <adilalpman> hi
[20:38] <wieshka> maybe becouse i have specific ets/hosts
[20:38] <iceroot> wieshka: that doesnt matter
[20:38] <randomhelper> hawkal: i have seen this with slow processors playing too high bitrate songs
[20:38] <wieshka> whatever - i have a dump :) now the same with postgresql :)
[20:38] <langslammr> Slow logins...someone have a solution?
[20:38] <wieshka> it will be a huge dump file
[20:38] <iceroot> langslammr: lock at /var/log/syslog and /var/log/auth.log
[20:38] <DeeTah> hi
[20:39] <randomhelper> langslammr: you could research a new graphical manager, such as fluxbox
[20:39] <hawkal> randomhelper: running dual core amd I can't see that being the issue
[20:39] <DeeTah> what's the easiest way to edit a file on UFS2 partition in ubuntu?
[20:39] <johnny_007> hi, is it here where I can get suppost for pidgin Messanger?
[20:39] <malchias> then how about disk subsystem or irq type conflicts (hawkal)
[20:39] <loki1> a
[20:39] <loki1> a
[20:40] <xangua> johnny_007: suppost¿
[20:40] <randomhelper> johnny_007: Chat on IRC: #pidgin on Freenode
[20:40] <adilalpman> hi all
[20:40] <slow-motion> hi
[20:40] <doner> hey adilalpman
[20:40] <erUSUL> DeeTah: mount the partition ? dunno if ufs support is ap to par though
[20:40] <adilalpman> i have use xchat for irc
[20:40] <adilalpman> but i dont like it
[20:40] <doner> ok
[20:41] <adilalpman> can anybody advice me an irc client like mirc
[20:41] <adilalpman> :S
[20:41] <doner> use mIRC
[20:41] <adilalpman> in ubuntu?
[20:41] <DeeTah> erUSUL: can't mount it, the default drivers are read-only. that won't do.
[20:41] <randomhelper> adilalphman: pidgin
[20:41] <adilalpman> ok 1 min
[20:41] <doner> no pidgin no way
[20:41] <malchias> I'm trying to setup wordpress securely on a shared hosting but don't want customers to see each others files or be able to hack because of permissions and the ability to create their own php scripts (by editing wordpress theme).    What permissions should I use, or is there a best practices checklist i can do for configuration?
[20:41] <erUSUL> DeeTah: then you can not edit
[20:41] <doner> use irssi
[20:41] <doner> or bitchx
[20:41] <hawkal> malchias: it could be but I don't see why it would skip it seems like an decoder problem maybe
[20:41] <doner> or someshit
[20:42] <FloodBot2> doner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:42] <doner> malchias RTFM!
[20:43] <DaZ> !rtfm|doner
[20:43] <doner> malchias also.. you can make 777 permisions for some time
[20:43] <DeeTah> erUSUL: thank you very much indeed, that was very helpful of you
[20:44] <langslammr> And what am I to see at var/log/syslog and auth.log?
[20:44] <BluesKaj> hmmm, interesting my /etc/dhclient.conf is empty...no wonder i have run it at boot up
[20:44] <erUSUL> DeeTah: what else can i say. read only filesystem == you can not edit. is like asking how to edit a file in a cd-rom.
[20:45] <doner> Daz, what is jfgi?)
[20:45] <Docteh_> BluesKaj: i dont even have an /etc/dhclient.conf :-/
[20:45] <DeeTah> erUSUL: it's the drivers issue. the partition is editable :p
[20:45] <DaZ> doner: just google it
[20:45] <BluesKaj> Docteh_,  yeah, same thing
[20:45] <langslammr> how do I get a faster login on U 10.04?
[20:46] <wise_crypt> !server > malchias
[20:46] <DaZ> Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis
[20:46] <Docteh_> BluesKaj: /etc/network/interfaces and NetworkManager/wicd would be where to look for dhcp
[20:46] <DaZ> o/
[20:46] <malchias> doner: which would you recommend I read, that's what I'm asking.   And 777 doesn't seem like a good way, at all :)
[20:46] <erUSUL> DeeTah: from linux point of view ufs is read only like ntfs was for a long time until ntfs-3g arrived... the thing is that there is no driver.
[20:46] <malchias> wise_crypt: want me to move that question to server channel?
[20:47] <DeeTah> erUSUL: pretty weird since the filesystem code's BSD
[20:47] <wise_crypt> malchias : try it
[20:47] <langslammr> Login in is extremely slow, any suggestions?
[20:47] <malchias> try a different os, or different channel?
[20:47] <aretrfre34> how to espeak raw file?
[20:47] <BluesKaj> Docteh_, yeah i have /etc/network/interfaces already setup for static IP , and /etc/host.allow for IPs and portmap , but this is the first time the dhclient daemon is nonexistent at startup
[20:47] <wise_crypt> malchias : #ubuntu-server for server related issue
[20:48] <malchias> ok, thank you for the direction
[20:48] <aretrfre34> erUSUL: how to espeak raw file?
[20:48] <doner> malchias try 600
[20:48] <wise_crypt> malchias : no problem
[20:48] <malchias> 600 doesn't let the plugins work
[20:48] <BluesKaj> err /etc/hosts.allow is for ssh mostly tho
[20:49] <erUSUL> DeeTah: no one seems to care enough to fix it... afaik BSD's can not access linux filesystems either
[20:49] <AngryUbuntuUser> i can't understand this shit! i've managed to install ubuntu 10.4 in my rig with the "nomodeset" parameter... but now i can't boot up the system... i got "out of range" messages from my monitor
[20:49] <langslammr> Extremely slow login with new version. What's up with that?
[20:49] <inktri> how can I do "Disable/Enable Wireless" in command line?

[20:51] <adilalpman_> everything looks like ok
[20:51] <adilalpman_> but at the end
[20:51] <langslammr> thune3: I am using 10.4 which I upgraded from 9.x which was a whole lot faster.
[20:51] <hawkal> whats the best channel for general questions (i.e not distro specific)?

[20:52] <aretrfre34> how to espeak raw files not wav?
[20:52] <hawkal> ActionParsnip:Thank you
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> adante: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[20:52] <randomhelper> adilalpman: you can Alt+Ctrl+F1 (then Alt+Ctrl+F7 to return) to get a terminal, login, and sudo apt-get install fluxbox and select that before login
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> fluxbox ftw :)
[20:53] <adilalpman_> i cant understand random :S
[20:53] <langslammr> where can I find solution to slow login with 10.4?
[20:53] <guntbert> AngryUbuntuUser: I understand your frustration - but please don't take it out on us - as a first step try to boot into recovery mode, there you can even reconfigure the X system
[20:53] <adilalpman_>  ineed fluxbox u mean?
[20:53] <AngryUbuntuUser> guntbert: i've tried... just to get an "Out Of Range" right in the face again
[20:53] <randomhelper> adilalpman: no, buts its a solution to a problem, there maybe other solutions that do not involve a secondary window manager
[20:54] <thune3> langslammr: it is slower getting to the login screen? or after?
[20:55] <langslammr> thune3: at login getting to open screen.
[20:55] <adilalpman_> i click
[20:55] <adilalpman_> alt+f1 but i cant see a black screen whole
[20:55] <adilalpman_> i can see only
[20:55] <guntbert> AngryUbuntuUser: I don't know what "nomodeset" does -- who told you to use it?
[20:55] <adilalpman_> a black screen
[20:55] <adilalpman_> nothing on it
[20:55] <thune3> langslammr: so from the time you hit enter on your password, to the desktop showing up is slow?
[20:55] <adilalpman_> :(
[20:55] <randomhelper> adilalpman: its alt+ctrl+f1, then alt+ctrl+f7 to return to here, and it gives you a terminal to login and install apps through apt-get
[20:56] <langslammr> YES...thank you
[20:56] <langslammr> Slower for all accounts.
[20:56] <adilalpman_> cant i try to install it via synaptic?
[20:56] <mneptok> langslammr: is your home directory encrypted?
[20:56] <langslammr> No it is not
[20:56] <doner> adilalpman_ you have black background
[20:56] <AngryUbuntuUser> guntbert one guy here suggested to use this parameter to force a low resolution
[20:56] <adilalpman_> randomhelper
[20:56] <doner> adilalpman_ and you mouse just don't work
[20:56] <adilalpman_> no doner
[20:57] <AngryUbuntuUser> my monitor don't support resolutions higher than 1024x768
[20:57] <adilalpman_> i use
[20:57] <adilalpman_> ubuntus like red desktop
[20:57] <adilalpman_> red and pink
[20:57] <adilalpman_> default desktop
[20:57] <adilalpman_> wallpaper
[20:58] <mneptok> !enter | adilalpman_
[20:58] <randomhelper> adilalpman: my soultions are usually advanced, maybe someone here has a simpler solution, keep asking every so often in here
[20:58] <doner> !thanks | mneptok
[20:58] <adilalpman_> :(
[20:58] <adilalpman_> thnx random
[20:59] <langslammr> thune3: any ideas about slow login?
[21:00] <doner> adilalpman_ are you using gdm?
[21:00] <adilalpman_> yes
[21:00] <pip> Hello, hello which package owns file /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[21:00] <adilalpman_> i think that doner
[21:00] <langslammr> I even tried to shut off some processes that may not be needed....but still horribly slow and much slower than previous version.
[21:00] <adilalpman_> everything is set to default in my system now
[21:00] <doner> adilalpman_ and it's loading normal?
[21:00] <adilalpman_> yes
[21:00] <wieshka> yeah - do-release-upgrade update is so massive, but ~736 mb update downloaded under 1 minute :)
[21:00] <randomhelper> pip: grub-pc
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> langslammr: set your swappiness low if you have more than 1Gb RAM
[21:00] <pip> randomhelper: are you sure ?
[21:01] <Maletor> How can I install mPlayer with VDPAU?
[21:01] <Maletor> Does it come with it already?
[21:01] <doner> adilalpman_ so.. then I idk
[21:01] <guntbert> AngryUbuntuUser: I see ... unfortunately I'm no good with configuring X -- please ask the channel for a method to fix your screen resolution at 1024x768, probably by creating/editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:01] <pip> randomhelper: I have removed that package, but grub.cfg remains
[21:01] <randomhelper> pip: in ubuntu i don't think its grub2, i think they call the package grub-pc, let me double check
[21:01] <adilalpman_> :S
[21:01] <luigihs> hey i have question i trying to connect my ipod to ubuntu, but it doesnt work in my gktpod \
[21:01] <randomhelper> pip: you have to purge the package with sudo dpkg --purge grub-pc to remove config files
[21:01] <randomhelper> pip: but you might need to reinstall in order to run that command
[21:01] <pip> randomhelper: I did : sudo apt-get purge grub-pc
[21:02] <thronion> HELLO
[21:02] <pip> randomhelper: but it remains
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> pip: its generated with: sudo update-grub
[21:02] <randomhelper> pip: that might be a new feature, but i thought purge was only for dpkg and not apt-get, i think apt-get only removes
[21:02] <AngryUbuntuUser> guntbert i read in some foruns that ubuntu lucid lynx don't use xorg.conf, leading the kernel to do the dirty work...
[21:02] <adilalpman_> i have try to install GnomeXP theme but it cant change my login screen, how can i resolve it?
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> randomhelper: dpkg has -P option to purge
[21:03] <guntbert> AngryUbuntuUser: it comes without one - but if there is one it uses it
[21:03] <pip> ActionParsnip: then I can manunally remove it as well as other files located in /boot/grub ?
[21:03] <randomhelper> ActionParsnip: i use the --purge option
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> adilalpman_: i gave a link dude, you can change the login screen as you wish
[21:03] <scottj> command | highlight word <-- what would be the command highlight? grep --color almost works but I want to see lines that don't have matches as well as those that do, just with the word highlighted
[21:03] <siddhion> hi everyone :)
[21:03] <adilalpman_> to what?
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> pip: sure, if you need it again just run: sudo update-grub
[21:03] <randomhelper> !hi | siddhion
[21:03] <adilalpman_> i cant get any link
[21:03] <adilalpman_> can u pls resend it dude
[21:03] <siddhion> randomhelper : ) hey
[21:04] <pip> ActionParsnip: and why are those files in /etc/default/grub/
[21:04] <randomhelper> ActionParsnip: I think he trying to remove it, so he has to reinstall with apt-get and sudo dpkg --purge grub-pc after installing again i think
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> adilalpman_: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[21:04] <randomhelper> pip: you are right, they should be in /boot
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> pip: those files configure grub, the grub.cfg file is generated using those scripts
[21:04] <wise_crypt> !grub2
[21:05] <pip> ActionParsnip: what package owns those files ?
[21:05] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[21:05] <randomhelper> !hello | tetracomm
[21:05] <Tetracomm> Does anyone know of any weather applets or programs which would actually show me a map sort of like what you see on the weather channel of storm systems moving?
[21:05] <pip> Okay, I got it
[21:05] <ZonkieNut> howdy
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> pip: not sure there dude, probably grub2
[21:05] <pip> Must be grub-pc or grub-common
[21:05] <thune3> langslammr: could you put your /var/log/syslog to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give ptr?

[21:06] <ActionParsnip> adilalpman_: I think you need to run the script with gksudo for that
[21:06] <mneptok> adilalpman_: there is absolutely no need for a single inputline that contains only an emoticon. stop.
[21:07] <adilalpman_> but
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> hyperhacker: i use the nvidia vdpau ppa then install nvidia-glx-185
[21:07] <scunizi> hyperhacker: you trying to install the binary from nvidia or the ones that are supplied by ubuntu?
[21:07] <adilalpman_> i used that script when i am root
[21:07] <hyperhacker> I installed nvidia-glx-185 but I have no idea what "ndivia vdpau ppa" means
[21:07] <hyperhacker> in older versions that was enough but I guess not anymore
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> hyperhacker: you may need: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[21:07] <hyperhacker> yes, did that as well
[21:07] <wise_crypt> !nvidia > hyperhacker

[21:10] <siddhion> i am about to install Xubuntu 10.04 on my older laptop. my current laptop is running XP. it has a 60gb hard drive with one C:\ partition. what i seek to do is to shrink the C:\ down to 25gb thus freeing up 35gb. at this point i would like to use that 35gb of free space to install Xubuntu 10.04 onto it. Well it's not that simple. i assume i'd have to create a new 35gb partition, then create 3 sub-partitions: 1 for Xubuntu 10.04, 1 for data (\home)
[21:10] <siddhion> and 1 for Linux-Swap RAM. what is the safest and best way to do this?
[21:10] <langslammr> thune3: can't find swap to adjust.
[21:10] <nolanbostich> exit
[21:10] <randomhelper> siddhion: you can create a swap file or swap partition, the safest way would be to use wubi to install inside of windows xp
[21:10] <adilalpman_> it cant change again too :S
[21:11] <mneptok> siddhion: you do not need a separate partition for /home, but you can use one if you prefer
[21:11] <Tetracomm> randomhelper: I mean an actual program, not websites. Or is there a GoogleMaps program for Ubuntu?
[21:11] <ManDay> I've set a string in /etc/hostname but that hostname does not propagate to the network. In the router I only see my IP!
[21:11] <nelson_> heelo
[21:11] <ManDay> Can anyone help?
[21:12] <siddhion> randomhelper: i would like to do a full install because i hear Wubi does not perform as well as a dual-boot version.
[21:12] <randomhelper> Tetracomm: Google Earth is the program
[21:12] <mneptok> siddhion: and i would not use Wubi if i were you. use an XP partition manager (like partition Magic" to create free space. then use the Xubuntu installer to create partitions inside that free space.
[21:12] <adilalpman_> i cant do it again...
[21:12] <nelson_> why do flash drives stop working on unbuntu
[21:12] <randomhelper> siddhion: you heard correctly, yeah, then leave a parition for xp where it is, one ext2/3 for xubuntu, and a small swap partition (ext 2/3 to read them in windows)
[21:12] <siddhion> mneptokL i would like a seperate partition for /home because if at a later date I want to change the Linux distor I can do so with out backing up all my data.
[21:13] <mneptok> siddhion: OK, just be aware that you are limited to 4 primary partitions
[21:13] <randomhelper> siddhion: then yeah, four primaries using gparted from sourceforge's website
[21:13] <mneptok> randomhelper: there is no need to download GParted from SF
[21:13] <randomhelper> mneptok: he asked for the safest method
[21:14] <langslammr> thune3: Guess I lost you....thanks any way
[21:14] <siddhion> randomhelper: mneptok: i have already created a USB Gparted Live boot drive.
[21:14] <mneptok> randomhelper: and the safest method is to use a Windows partition utility to shrink C:, create free space, and let the installer create partions in the free space.
[21:14] <Tetracomm> randomhelper: Thank you, do you know how to set it up with the NWS kml files?
[21:14] <xylander> #ubuntu.pl
[21:14] <adilalpman_> GnomeXP can change everything but cant change login window :S
[21:15] <scottj> Is there a command I can pipe a bunch of output to and it will highlight a word? (but still display all the output). grep can almost do this but I can't find a way to have it show lines w/o matches.
[21:15] <randomhelper> Tetracomm: try to open these files inside of GoogleEarth with the File Open (or Import), or you can double click them in Ubuntu and open then with googleearth
[21:15] <konbon> guys, how long does Ubuntu Desktop usually take, to install?
[21:15] <hyperhacker> k, I'm looking at the wiki and all I see are instructions for 8.04 and 8.10
[21:15] <Tetracomm> and where do I get the kml files?
[21:15] <konbon> from 10.4 server to Desktop
[21:15] <Tetracomm> Ok.
[21:15] <Tetracomm> Where on the NWS website.
[21:15] <hyperhacker> in 8.10 it was enough to install nvidia-glx-185 and it'd work great
[21:15] <hyperhacker> only as of 10.04 that's not working
[21:15] <thune3> langslammr: see pm
[21:15] <randomhelper> Tetracomm: give me a minute and i'll link you
[21:16] <langslammr> thune3: ok...
[21:16] <wise_crypt> !info gdesklets | Tetracomm
[21:16] <siddhion> randomhelper: mneptok: i heard that using Gparted is a safer way to shrink a pre-existing partition rather than using disk management. additionally one does not have to worry about defragging before hand when using Gparted.
[21:16] <randomhelper> Tetracomm: http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/kmzgenerator.php
[21:16] <Tetracomm> Thank you, randomhelper. *pat* :)
[21:17] <pratik_narain> my bash-completion is acting wierd. it is not auto completing any word after the first command. eg if i do sudo apt-g<tab>, it doesn't work. but it works in apt-g<tab> and gives apt-get
[21:17] <pratik_narain> plz help
[21:18] <mneptok> siddhion: yes, you must defrag. you must turn off Windows automatic backups. and you should use a Windows partition utility to manipulate NTFS partitions. IME, they are far more reliable than is GParted. GParted is great for Free, open filesystem types. not so much with NTFS.
[21:18] <siddhion> mneptok: so are you saying that Xubuntu 10.04 installer will recognize that there is free space to install to? becaiuse when i tried to install previously, it said that it would install onto the partition/device and erase everything.
[21:18] <randomhelper> pratik_narain: another solution would be to use wildcards (*) when using terminal in Ubuntu, maybe someone can explain why your tab isn't autofilling with sudo
[21:18] <mneptok> siddhion: you need to manually create partitions, not tell the installer to choose for you.
[21:19] <randomhelper> siddhion: you can add ideas to ubuntu at https://brainstorm.ubuntu.com (sounds like a good idea)
[21:19] <mneptok> siddhion: you will not get a separate /home partition if you let the installer choose how to create partitions.

[21:20] <mneptok> siddhion: the XP built-in?
[21:21] <randomhelper> siddhion: the ability to let the ubuntu installer find free space on your windows and shrink it and auto-partition
[21:21] <bilkulbekar> triage the bugs.. how do i go about it
[21:21] <mcnellis> dartt: that doesn't work simply like that
[21:21] <PureRumble> Why has display_errors been set to false by default in php 5.3? Is this a special case for ubuntu or in general?
[21:21] <siddhion> mneptok: yes
[21:21] <mneptok> siddhion: yes, that tool is quite good at resizing NTFS
[21:22] <siddhion> randomhelper: oh that is a given. it should be intelligent enough to do this.
[21:22] <mneptok> siddhion: turn off automatic backups and defrag before using it.
[21:22] <pratik_narain> randomhelper: thnx for suggestion. its not just no working after sudo, but its not working for any command/option after the first one. eg not even apt-get i<tab> is working. its not giving me install, but is listing the files of home directory starting with i. may be this explains the problem better.
[21:22] <siddhion> mneptok: i see. also run CHKDSK?
[21:22] <mneptok> siddhion: sure. better safe than sorry.
[21:23] <randomhelper> pratik_narain: did you look around in the gnome-terminal options/preferences?
[21:24] <siddhion> mneptok: ok i understand what i pretty much have to do. im still a little foggy on how to create a new partition and then create 3 partitions with in that one for: Xubuntu 10.04, /home (data) and Linux-Swap. any ideas?
[21:24] <pizzle> Need some help. I have a dual boot machine Ubuntu 10.04 and Win 7. No swap space was created. How would I go about adding swap space?
[21:24] <randomhelper> pratik_narain: i don't see anything in those options, maybe someone else might know, sorry
[21:25] <randomhelper> pizzle: you could reduce your linux partition if you have less than 4 primary partitions and create a new swap partition, or you could create a swap file inside of ubuntu
[21:26] <bilkulbekar> randomhelper: but does creating a swap file really a necessary?
[21:26] <randomhelper> bilkulbekar: its an option, not required
[21:26] <pizzle> randomhelper: I currently have 4 partitions. 1 for win 7 1 for ubuntu, 1 for data accessed from both and the other system partition
[21:27] <mneptok> siddhion: when you run the installer, choose to *MANUALLY* define partitions. do NOT let the installer automatically create them for you.
[21:27] <randomhelper> pizzle: let me link you to some websites that detail making a swap file, its been a while since i've used that
[21:27] <pizzle> well in my case the computer runs slow at times and my load is high
[21:27] <lxlee> When I use ssh where can I find my IP to use in it?
[21:27] <wieshka> PROBLEM: i am doing do-release-upgrade, and it stuck at the Setting up javascript-common (6) ...
[21:27] <dartt> gparted can help in making swap
[21:27] <wieshka> no CPU load
[21:27] <randomhelper> pizzle: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[21:27] <pizzle> randomhelper: thanks
[21:27] <randomhelper> pizzle: welcome
[21:27] <mneptok> siddhion: you probably have a hidden recovery partition. that means you wil exceed the 4 primary partition limit. create an extended partition in the free space, and then your 3 Linux partitions inside that.
[21:28] <siddhion> mneptok: so you are telling me that i can create them in step 4 of the installer. i thought you were telling me to use disk management tool in XP to create these 3 sub-partitions
[21:28] <randomhelper> mneptok: siddhion: or you could use a swap file and not swap partition following the link above or here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[21:29] <zer0t0xic> register
[21:29] <dartt> if u got gud ram like 2 gb then u don need swap
[21:29] <siddhion> mneptok: yes on my XP machine the recovery is hidden, unlike on my Vista machine.
[21:29] <glorious> question: I did something that caused my boot and shutdown splash screens to say Lubuntu in light blue.  How do I return it to say Ubuntu in purple?
[21:29] <mneptok> siddhion: no, use the XP disk manager to shrink NTFS and create free space. use the Xubuntu installer to define new partitions inside that free space.
[21:30] <siddhion> mneptok: ah yes. i see. interesting. i thought i might have to do it this way. pretty interesting.
[21:30] <randomhelper> siddhion: i agree with mneptok that would be the safest way for you, though a little slower
[21:30] <siddhion> randomhelper: thanks for the verification. slow i do not mind.
[21:30] <thatryan> hi guys
[21:31] <randomhelper> !hi | thatryan
[21:31] <con-man> does pms-linux have an irc chan I can visit cause I'd rather not go off topic with questions here
[21:31] <thatryan> I just bought a media temple ve server, just installed 10.04 on it
[21:32] <thatryan> is there an article somewhere how to install FTP?
[21:32] <vect> con-man: #ubuntu-women, jk
[21:32] <vect> heh
[21:32] <randomhelper> !ftp | thatryan
[21:32] <aretrfre34> how to make espeak generate raw files not wav?
[21:32] <randomhelper> !ftp-server | thatryan
[21:32] <bilkulbekar> how do i start contributing to ubuntu?
[21:32] <wieshka> i figured it out - i killed background running apache2
[21:32] <scunizi> thatryan: lots.. google "ubuntu pureftp" but be warned.. you'll loose some hair trying to set it up
[21:32] <thatryan> lol nice
[21:33] <dartt> ubuntuforums
[21:33] <aretrfre34> bilkubekar: answer my question
[21:33] <thatryan> ive never had to set it up before, always has just been there on my old srvers :)
[21:33] <aretrfre34> bilkulbekar: answer my question
[21:34] <randomhelper> bilkulbekar: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved
[21:34] <bilkulbekar> aretrfre34: which one? lolzz.. i meant contribiting in development..
[21:34] <bilkulbekar> aretrfre34: not support
[21:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> what is stdin: error 0
[21:34] <aretrfre34> how to make espeak generate raw files not wav?
[21:34] <glorious> bilkulbekar: or you could answer my question. :-)
[21:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> !stdin error
[21:35] <AngryUbuntuUser> guntbert i managed to start the system and i've installed the nvidia driver (my gpu is a GeForce FX5200) but now i can't choose a resolution higher than 640x480
[21:35] <bilkulbekar> randomhelper: thanks, already gone through it. how do i start triaging bugs
[21:35] <aretrfre34> bilkulbekar: you are on right way
[21:35] <glorious>  question: I did something that caused my boot and shutdown splash screens to say Lubuntu in light blue.  How do I return it to say Ubuntu in purple?
[21:35] <DumberThanHomer> aretrfre34: use sox to convert those wav files to raw
[21:36] <randomhelper> bilkulbekar: #ubuntu-devel is the channel to ask that (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment)
[21:37] <aretrfre34> DumberThanHomer:didn't waste my night
[21:37] <guntbert> AngryUbuntuUser: a) congrats b) sorry to hear that - it seems there is a communications problem between your monitor and your gpu - but I cannot help you there - sorry (my gpu is always *so* low end...)
[21:37] <bilkulbekar> randomhelper: thanks.. wil get to that room
[21:38] <randomhelper> bilkulbekar: thank you for your will to help ubuntu
[21:38] <siddhion> mneptok: so when i choose to manually create partitions at Step 4 in the installation process, i will have to create 1 extended partition & then create 3 new sub-partitions with in that extended partition. is this correct? also, what format should i make those partitions? i ask because i saw quite a few.
[21:38] <DumberThanHomer> aretrfre34: sox -V yourfile.wav -r 44100 -w -c 2 -s yournewfile.raw
[21:39] <siddhion> mneptok: randomhelper mentioned ext2 ext3
[21:39] <kevin_> Okay guys, first off, how are ya? Second off... I have no sound...Running lubuntu btw, if however, I believe I know somewhat about this...
[21:39] <scunizi> siddhion: ext3 or 4.. /swap doesn't get assigned a file system..
[21:39] <randomhelper> siddhion: for the ubuntu partitions (excluding swap), select ext2 or ext3 to read in windows with additional software, or if you don't care about that ext4 for speed
[21:40] <siddhion> scunizi: thanks a bunch
[21:40] <kevin_> I am looking for the driver for me sound card, believe it's an hda_intel driver....
[21:40] <randomhelper> kevin_: since you say you are knowledgable, i would recommend compiling pulseaudio from source, that fixed it for me
[21:40] <tom-ubuntu> hello all
[21:40] <IdleOne> randomhelper: I thought ext4 could read ntfs also
[21:40] <siddhion> randomhelper: thanks for the extra info that ext4 is faster but does not show up on XP
[21:41] <etherealite> Whats the minimal system memory I need for a apache+mysql+php dev server?
[21:41] <kevin_> ahh, good idea, I will check to see if pulseaudio's even install first, thanks randomhelper :)
[21:41] <ilembitov> Is there a way to manually set fsck to be run on my HDD after a reboot (it's a root partition)?
[21:41] <siddhion> randomhelper: what is the difference between ext2 and ext3
[21:41] <randomhelper> IdleOne: in xp, ext4 is not readable yet with additional software like ext2 and ext3 is
[21:41] <IdleOne> randomhelper: ahh ok sorry I missread
[21:41] <etherealite> reizerfs
[21:41] <etherealite> its kills your wife
[21:42] <randomhelper> siddhion: ext3 is journaling (indexes) and ext2 does not, but ext3 is safest for systems that randomly turn off, like killing a laptop
[21:42] <IdleOne> !ot | etherealite
[21:42] <DarkStar1> Evening people. Does anyone here use pidgin?
[21:42] <randomhelper> !pidgin | darkstar1
[21:42] <tyler__> We all know who is the clear winner here: Btrfs.
[21:42] <IdleOne> DarkStar1: yes, now ask the real question you need answered :)
[21:43] <siddhion> randomhelper: is there a benefit to using ext3 over ext4?
[21:43] <randomhelper> siddhion: backwards compatibility to read and write with additional software in windows, ext4 does not have that ability at this time
[21:43] <DarkStar1> :) is there a way to disable some message  types in it? like the join room announcements.
[21:44] <skyrocket> hi
[21:44] <scunizi> DarkStar1: don't use it for IRC.. it's a good IM client but not for IRC.. use xchat or irssi .. xchat is gui, irssi is cli
[21:44] <xangua> DarkStar1: yes, enable join/leave plugin
[21:44] <randomhelper> !hi | skyrocket
[21:45] <DumberThanHomer> !xchat | darkstar1
[21:45] <siddhion> randomhelper: so your saying that with additional software that runs in XP, i will be able to peer into these ext3 partitions and manipulate data? why would anyone really want to do this?
[21:45] <magicianlord> Does anyone know where to edit the startup text when you open LXTerminal? Removing the calendar for example.
[21:45] <xangua> DarkStar1: if is not aviable then install pidgin-plugin-pack and restart pidgin
[21:45] <thatryan> so is pureftp the best to install? and once installed will i be able to use Transmit for ftp?
[21:45] <randomhelper> siddhion: say you have music on your Desktop in Ubuntu you want to play from Windows
[21:45] <DarkStar1> xangua: Thanks
[21:45] <etherealite> Whats the minimal system memory I need for a apache+mysql+php dev server?
[21:45] <siddhion> randomhelper: i understand. thank you so much for all the info.
[21:45] <DarkStar1> DumberThanHomer: why !xchat?
[21:45] <randomhelper> siddhion: my pleasure
[21:46] <scunizi> etherealite: no gui 256
[21:46] <xangua> other useful plugins for irc in pidgin are irc more and irc helper
[21:46] <etherealite> scunizi thanks, that seems pretty steep for a shell and a unloaded web server though.
[21:47] <scunizi> etherealite: check the minimum requirements for an ubuntu server install. that should do it
[21:47] <randomhelper> etherealite: you can use previous versions (which are less secure) for less memory footprints
[21:48] <etherealite> randomhelper what if i strip out app amor of the latest release? will that make any difference?
[21:48] <DumberThanHomer> DarkStar1: IMO XChat is better for irc, but if you prefer Pidgin use it by all means :)
[21:48] <randomhelper> etherealite: sorry, i only know limited information about apache+sql
[21:48] <rhp> Hi all. I had ubuntu 9.04 running as dual boot on my macbook 4.1. After upgrading to 10.04, I could not boot into it anymore. I got some grub error. I tried to burn a live-cd and boot from that, but for some reason also that fails. The 9.04 live-cd still boots, but trying to run grub-install from a chrooted environment also gives me errors. Any idea's on what the best root is to proceed this?
[21:48] <tema_> привет
[21:49] <DarkStar1> DumberThanHomer: It's the only one I've tried and the interface is simple
[21:49] <randomhelper> !ru | tema_
[21:49] <scunizi> rhp: did you go direct from9.04 to 10.04?
[21:49] <rhp> Yes
[21:50] <rhp> scunizi: on second thought it was actually 9.10.
[21:50] <scunizi> rhp: then you did an unusual upgrade.. typical requirements make you go from 9.04 to 9.10 then to 10.04  so you short circuited the process.. try
[21:50] <scunizi> rhp: ah ok..
[21:50] <rhp> I looked at the wrong install CD (since the macbook can do 64bit, I installed the amd64 version)
[21:50] <DarkStar1> rhp: I'll tell you this much. There seems to be issues with the upgrade route. Even I had issues, but when I wiped and re-installed everything worked fine. I know about 5 people that had the same problem
[21:51] <kad_> hey
[21:51] <randomhelper> !hi | kad_
[21:51] <mneptok> siddhion: i would use ext4
[21:51] <rhp> DarkStar1: any idea why the live-cd won't boot?
[21:51] <bilkulbekar> DarkStar1: yes, i had issues upgrading too. wireless stopped working.
[21:51] <scunizi> rhp: I think 9.04 used grub legacy and 10.04 tries to upgrade to grub2 if you give it permission.. you might need to use a 10.04 live cd to chroot and fix grub if that was the case
[21:51] <ferran> hi to all
[21:51] <randomhelper> !hi | ferran
[21:52] <DarkStar1> rhp you tried getting into it from the apple boot manager?
[21:52] <GuTec> Hello all, could someone help me with a networking problem? An Ubuntu/Windows 7 share problem, to be exact.
[21:52] <ferran> anyone cognise an Iphone SDK that works under ubuntu?
[21:52] <kad_> need to ask! i have Windows7 and Ubuntu 32-bit... i download Ubuntu 64-bit coz my processor work on 64-bit, if i install Ubuntu 64-bit, Does the boot loader remove the Windows 7 loader?
[21:52] <rhp> DarkStar1: yes, but then I only get a black screen with the cursor blinking on the left-top side.
[21:52] <xangua> kad_: yes
[21:52] <GuTec> Windows 7 on my media center just blew up, so I figured I'd install 10.04, but it fails to see any of the shares on my Windows 7 server.
[21:52] <FlameTai1> Hey guys I have a question about the Ubuntu 10.04 Switch Desktop function, Is it possible to like basically "Merge" by like Control-Left click on more than one of the desktops and see all the apps running on those ones?
[21:53] <scunizi> GuTec: install samba or sambafs
[21:53] <scunizi> !samba | GuTec
[21:53] <kad_> xangua, how i can then config it on boot choose between Windows and ubuntu ?
[21:53] <GuTec> scunizi: Already installed, no difference.
[21:53] <rhp> Running straight from the CD, I do not get into the usual menu, but it boots directly. However after a while it seems to go idle. Even the CD stops spinning...
[21:53] <DumberThanHomer> !bye | DumberThanHomer
[21:54] <IdleOne> ha! ubottu teaches you French too
[21:54] <scunizi> GuTec: samba requires at least one user to be listed.. that's done with a different process .. check the docs for how to add a user (you) to the samba server

[22:04] <wieshka> gasperz: maybe folks on #linux-wireless can help you out

[22:06] <AkifTariq> can somebody help . I need to install 3c509 module as my old system has 3c509 Etherlink III ISA lan card. When I do "sudo modprobe 3c509" I get error: "FATAL: Module 3c509 not found." How can I install this module?
[22:06] <Slart> zaafouri: real player is available for linux.. from the their site.. not sure if it's called real player or something like helix though
[22:06] <avorntur> hi people, got a system the freezes when gdm is started
[22:06] <acicula> AkifTariq, guess the module is not build?
[22:06] <Arskender> i guess i'll try the complete removal
[22:06] <enzo> 1list
[22:06] <enzo> !list
[22:06] <avorntur> how can I start it and fix the xorg.conf or whatever is causing it without it  freezing?
[22:06] <zaafouri> and ican have a link to download any video like in windows
[22:07] <avorntur> ie: how can I start the system without it starting gdm service
[22:07] <AkifTariq> I do not exactly know what modules are and how to install them ...
[22:07] <dominicdinada> Slart: ok i have 3 images their hmmm
[22:07] <thressdev> ive been having issues with my trackpad, every now and then its stops working, and sometimes my keyboard stops working as well. same issue as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470117 but i havent found a good solution. anyone have any suggestions?
[22:07] <Slart> enzo: do you have a question about ubuntu? since this is the ubuntu support channel and all
[22:07] <sdoherty> what makes me mad is it was working fine no prob but now ..... nothing i have reinstalled ubuntu 10.04 and it still dident do the triclk
[22:07] <Slart> dominicdinada: remove all but the newest.. the one with the highest version number
[22:08] <dominicdinada> Slart: correct but one of the kernals is requestion to remove linux-generic with it ?
[22:08] <Slart> dominicdinada: oops.. better not do that then
[22:08] <AkifTariq> acicula:: I do not exactly know what modules are and how to install them ... Is it preinstalled in Lucid? or I need to compile it and add it to Kernel ... Please guide me
[22:08] <dominicdinada> but that is not the newest
[22:08] <kzman> what does midi driver (or emulator) use ubuntu?
[22:09] <randomhelper> AkifTariq: i see the page you are following, try a "sudo find / -name 3c509" in terminal without the quotes to search your system for the module
[22:09] <acicula> AkifTariq, it would seem you have to build the driver as a module, or perhaps even the kernel to support an ISA bus
[22:09] <dominicdinada> Slart: it is 32.22.23 and 32.22.36 is
[22:09] <zaafouri> i just want a soft ware like internet downlaod manager in windows
[22:09] <Slart> dominicdinada: installed kernels from somewhere else?
[22:09] <Slart> !info linux-image-generic
[22:09] <dominicdinada> no just the update manager
[22:09] <MEGABRAKER> ahla bzaafouri
[22:09] <siddhion> randomhelper: i was writing down all the steps i would need to take to prepare for and do the installation correctly and i still do not have one bit of info. at step 4 of the installation, mneptok said i should create an Extended partition in the 35gb of free space. will i have to specifiy a partition format there (such as ext3 ext4)? or is 'Extended' the format?
[22:09] <MEGABRAKER> ahla b zaafouri
[22:09] <randomhelper> zaafouri: Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center -> search Download Manager
[22:10] <Slart> dominicdinada: 22.23 is the latest official one.. not sure where you got 22.36 from
[22:10] <ne0futur> hi all, what is the command line to access System->Preferences->Display ? I run wmaker so I dont have the gnome or kde menu
[22:10] <con-man> in the synaptic package manager what should I be looking for, to find the mythtv media server
[22:11] <zaafouri> MEGABRAKER w bik hak wild bléd
[22:11] <AkifTariq> acicula:: can you please give me a link which tells me how to compile my own kernel with my own selection of modules added in it ?
[22:11] <Slart> ne0futur: gnome-display-properties on my 10.04 64bit ubuntu
[22:11] <Arskender> help firefox has fallen and can't get up
[22:11] <dominicdinada> Slart: crap that one also wants to remove linux-generic and another file as well maybe just mark for removal not complete
[22:11] <randomhelper> siddhion: Extended is not the format, Extended only lets you have more than 4 partitions, you should only parition the windows, linux, and swap partitions, not the extended
[22:11] <erUSUL> ne0futur: gnome-display-properties ?
[22:11] <acicula> !kernel | AkifTariq this should detail it
[22:11] <avorntur> found it on forums guys, nvm my question
[22:12] <zaafouri> i cant find it
[22:12] <dominicdinada> Slart: oh i know where i might have gotten it from i have the medibuntu repos added :(
[22:12] <randomhelper> siddhion: I'm finding a screenshot on the internet now to better explain
[22:12] <Slart> dominicdinada: not sure if that will help.. you haven't enabled the proposed-repository, have you?
[22:12] <Walex> upgraded kernel to 2.6.32-22 and now I can no longer boot. My root fs is JFS. I have added the 'jfs.ko' to the initrd. I cannot mount the root filesystem or any other from the BusyBox prompt in the initramfs. Suggestions?
[22:12] <sdoherty> thats it im going back to windows
[22:12] <AkifTariq> acicula:: thank you very much for the support ... the page looks good ... I will give it a time ...
[22:12] <zaafouri> pleaz give me the name or a link to downlaod
[22:12] <DarkStar1> whoever mentioned the "Pidgin-plugins" feature... Thanks..
[22:12] <sdoherty> jk
[22:12] <randomhelper> siddhion: http://tavdash.com/my_images/partitions.png and you will see sub partitions where they (each subpartition) has a format, not the extended -> http://tavdash.com/my_images/partitions.png
[22:13] <glorious> question: I did something that caused my boot and shutdown splash screens to say Lubuntu in light blue.  How do I return it to say Ubuntu in purple?
[22:13] <ne0futur> erUSUL: ok I ll try to apt-get install gnome-control-center
[22:13] <michael___> I know i probably am screwed, but ubuntu formatted my windows drive, can i recover it at all?
[22:13] <con-man> in the synaptic package manager what should I be looking for, to find the mythtv media server
[22:13] <Slart> !recover | michael___
[22:13] <ne0futur> i cant access ubuntu config tools without installing gnome ?
[22:13] <dominicdinada> slart no i dont have proposed releases but after a further inspection a repo was added the dl.google.com debain stable was added
[22:14] <erUSUL> ne0futur: maybe better just installing grandr as an alternative with less dependencies
[22:14] <Slart> dominicdinada: oh.. debian stable is probably a very bad idea.. I would remove that
[22:14] <rethus> have try to install a package which need kde (but i won't install it) but now, if i make aptitude update, he show me always kde-packages to install.
[22:14] <erUSUL> !info grandr | ne0futur
[22:14] <rethus> how can i remove this preseection
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> michael___: restore from backup
[22:14] <dominicdinada> Slart: yeah i can remove that repo but it still doesnt help me get rid of that other kernal
[22:15] <rdunnion> hi is libcups2 the updated and therefore equal to libcups?
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> !info libcups2
[22:15] <Slart> dominicdinada: I'm not sure.. but removing it is at least a good start.. it's not like you really really need the linux-image-generic package.. it's just a meta package
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> !info libcups
[22:15] <michael___> Do you think recovering a whole OS from a ext4 format will be at all posible?
[22:15] <FlameTai1> Hey guys is there a manual that comes included with the install of Ubuntu 10.04?
[22:15] <Slart> dominicdinada: you can always reinstall it again when you're done changing stuff
[22:16] <ubuntujenkins> !manual | FlameTai1:
[22:16] <Slart> FlameTai1: there are man-pages.. lots and lots of manuals for all the commands..
[22:16] <dominicdinada> Slart:  let me give it a go if it fails ahwell
[22:16] <FlameTai1> Ty guys
[22:16] <Slart> dominicdinada: well... they say reinstalls are almost painless these days ;)

[22:17] <siddhion> randomhelper: ok i see the Extended partition is 43.95gb and that it has the 3 sub-partitions under it (ext3 /home, ext3 /media/sda5 & the Linux-Swap). These 3 partitions are created in 43.95 gb Extended partition, correct? If yes, doesn't that mean that one would have had to partition the Extended partition?
[22:17] <michael___> Do you think recovering a whole windows OS from a ext4 format will be at all posible?
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> sdoherty: tried gtkpod
[22:18] <jacky> youhou
[22:18] <jacky> coucou
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> michael___: you could use foremost to maybe restore data. You should have a backup if your data is important
[22:18] <dominicdinada> Slart: not with linux the one flaw with it is that so many people build software and dependancies that to remove one application it removes a dependancy for a program or 5 also using it that and then some programs require a depenacy such as 26.32.33 and you have 26.32.34 and 26.32.30 on your machine
[22:18] <corin_> ra21vi, echo "username   ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
[22:18] <hztv> hi! can anyone help me? i can't boot my computer and i get this for few days: http://yfrog.com/fvdscf6958j
[22:18] <niekie> michael___: how did you format it?
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> corin_: will need sudo
[22:18] <ra21vi> dominicdinada: learn more..
[22:19] <DJ_HaMsTa> what else can one do in ubuntu ?
[22:19] <Flannel> corin_, ra21vi: you should never modify sudoers without using visudo.
[22:19] <niekie> michael___: testdisk ( http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk ) might sometimes help.
[22:19] <michael___> ActionParsnip I do have my documents and such on my dropbox. But im trying to decide if i should reinstall windows
[22:19] <Slart> dominicdinada: that's why you're supposed to stick to the repositories of your distro... and if you have to go get something from a weird place just download the deb.. don't add the entire repository
[22:19] <rdunnion> my printer driver requires libcups but lucid has libcups2 could this be the reason my driver is failing?
[22:19] <randomhelper> siddhion: did that help at all?
[22:19] <michael___> niekie I did it from the ubuntu install. I reallly rememver selecting my other parition but i guess not
[22:19] <gaelos> how can i know my catalyst version ? 1.4 1.5 ?
[22:19] <ra21vi> corin_: oh, i want to avoid doint it
[22:19] <michael___> niekie using ext 4
[22:20] <dominicdinada> Slart: the only repo i added was the medibuntu for the codecs where the debain came from no idea i did not add it
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> michael___: may as well, windows likes to be reinstalled from time to time due to OS degradation which happens
[22:20] <corin_> Flannel, why not?
[22:20] <siddhion> randomhelper: ok i see the Extended partition is 43.95gb and that it has the 3 sub-partitions under it (ext3 /home, ext3 /media/sda5 & the Linux-Swap). These 3 partitions are created in 43.95 gb Extended partition, correct? If yes, doesn't that mean that one would have had to partition the Extended partition?
[22:20] <Slart> dominicdinada: but generally speaking I think packagers put the dependencies to high.. does all the gnome stuff require the very latest gnome? from looking at the repos it seems that way
[22:20] <dominicdinada> ra21vi: MIND your own business k thanx
[22:20] <Flannel> corin_: Because visudo does some syntax checks and stuff upon saving, to make sure you don't break sudoers horribly.
[22:20] <ra21vi> dominicdinada: :) gr8 .. carry on
[22:20] <rethus> have try to install a package which need kde (but i won't install it) but now, if i make aptitude update, he show me always kde-packages to install.how can i remove this preselection?
[22:20] <niekie> michael___: hrm. Don't really know if it'll work with what the Ubuntu installer does. All I know is it saved me one time when running mke2fs on the wrong drive :)
[22:20] <hztv> hi! can anyone help me? i can't boot my computer and i get this for few days: http://yfrog.com/fvdscf6958j
[22:20] <maco> Slart: when a library is rebuilt all of the packages depending upon it often have to be rebuilt as well
[22:21] <randomhelper> siddhion: yes, if it appears like the screenshot its good
[22:21] <Flannel> ra21vi: Please be polite and considerate.
[22:21] <corin_> Flannel, assuming that one line doesnt get changed... its syntax is clearly fine
[22:21] <michael___> niekie sounds good, seems to only support ext 3 though.. But does it find entire OSs?
[22:21] <ra21vi> Flannel: :) I am.. sorry if he took that other way
[22:21] <Balduino> Is it possible to create a network game between two computers on the local network using glchess? I can't find a way to create a host.
[22:21] <Flannel> corin_: If you're going to give advice in this channel, give the advice to use visudo.  You don't want to teach someone to pipe stuff into sudoers.
[22:21] <randomhelper> siddhion: or course not exactly, but the screenshot is a template
[22:21] <maco> Slart: if you rebuilt the packages against an old library, sure you could probably use that old library instead
[22:22] <Flannel> corin_: Let alone the fact that that command wouldn't actully work ;)
[22:22] <niekie> michael___: I'm not very sure. It was quite long ago when I used it.
[22:22] <corin_> Flannel, works for me ;O
[22:22] <dominicdinada> slart ummm when i try to mark the latest "assuming it is from the google debain stable it is trying to remove the most current ubuntu kernal as well" should i keep the oldest one and remove the others then just reupdate ?
[22:22] <IdleOne> !WFM
[22:22] <hztv> hi! can anyone help me? i can't boot my computer and i get this for few days: http://yfrog.com/fvdscf6958j
[22:22] <niekie> michael___: As far as I can remember it can.
[22:22] <siddhion> randomhelper: so if it turns out like the screen shot then its good. i understand.
[22:22] <Slart> maco: you're probably correct.. it's probably just my inexperience with packaging that is speaking..thanks
[22:22] <ibqn> I do not follow what is going on, I had a working samba environment, and from now on it is gone not even /etc/init.d/samba file is available....
[22:23] <Slart> !info linux-image
[22:23] <michael___> niekie so i should install this on a ubuntu live cd? and then run it? or does it have its own livecd?
[22:23] <ibqn> !samba
[22:23] <Slart> dominicdinada: I would go with that one.. 2.6.32.22.23   that's the latest one from the ubuntu repos
[22:23] <michael___> niekie or do i slave my drive?
[22:23] <Misantropo> when running apt-mirror i am getting "apt-mirror: can't close intermediate file (index-urls.0) at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 212."
[22:23] <randomhelper> siddhion: brb
[22:23] <Slart> dominicdinada: never mind that it wants to remove the linux-image-generic package..
[22:24] <mneptok> siddhion: 1). disable Windows automatic backups. 2). reboot Windows. 3). defrag and chkdisk 4). use XP disk management to create free space 5). boot off the Xubuntu CD and install 6). Manually define partitions. 7). make all partitions extended.
[22:24] <dominicdinada> Slart: but like i said when i mark that otherone for complete removal it is trying to take out the most current ubuntu one as well :/
[22:24] <siddhion> randomhelper: so to be clear, the first thing I do in Step 4  of the installation process is to install Manually. now once i am at the Manuall Partition window what do i do first?
[22:24] <dominicdinada> ok
[22:24] <FirstSgt> I have a php file that prints out a space-deliminated list of files... I want to mv those files to a dir name failed... how do I do it?
[22:24] <glorious> question: I did something that caused my boot and shutdown splash screens to say Lubuntu in light blue.  How do I return it to say Ubuntu in purple?
[22:24] <niekie> michael___: It should work on Ubuntu or Windows. (whether live or installed). I wouldn't recommend messing around with it too much though. It's quite an "expert" tool.
[22:24] <acerimmer> glorious: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[22:24] <FirstSgt> I am trying: php file.php | xargs mv failed/
[22:24] <Slart> dominicdinada: odd..
[22:25] <dominicdinada> ok i set the most current ubuntu for reinstall and the others for complete removal
[22:25] <siddhion> mnetok ok. so i will manually define 3 partitions then?
[22:26] <Slart> dominicdinada: you've removed those other repositories?
[22:26] <dominicdinada> Yes
[22:26] <mneptok> siddhion: http://i42.tinypic.com/nlehcz.jpg

[22:26] <dominicdinada> well kept the medibuntu :/ but that repo didnt have an kernal update and i will make sure i dont update to that kernal
[22:27] <Slart> dominicdinada: well.. give it a try.. see what happens
[22:27] <dominicdinada> Slart: according to synaptic it is complete :/ ? no reboot ? ha
[22:27] <glorious> thankyou acerimmer!
[22:27] <siddhion> mneptok: ok thank. so i see 1 extended partition and with in that i see 3 ext2 partitions.
[22:28] <siddhion> mneptok: so there is 1 Extended partition, not 3.
[22:28] <mneptok> siddhion: correct. and 3 partitons inside that.

[22:30] <DarkStar1> .wave " ActionParsnip
[22:30] <dominicdinada> this is the cache from my home folder
[22:30] <nickname1238> what is the status of bug #574462?
[22:30] <rethus1> have try to install a package which need kde (but i won't install it) but now, if i make aptitude update, he show me always kde-packages to install.how can i remove this preselection?
[22:30] <mneptok> dominicdinada: cleaning the apt cache has *no* effect on anything in your home
[22:30]  * ActionParsnip waves to DarkStar1
[22:30] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: that's where miniatures of files (and other stuff) are stored
[22:30] <ibqn> Slart, ubuntu's documentation is even wrong https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html, there is no such a init script anymore /etc/init.d/samba
[22:31] <rethus1> have try to install a package which need kde (but i won't install it) but now, if i make aptitude update, he show me always kde-packages to install.how can i remove this preselection?
[22:31] <mneptok> erUSUL: actually, those are stored in ~/.thumbnails
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> rethus1: you can't. the packages are deps of the deb you installed
[22:31] <rethus1> but the installation abort, cause of broken dependeciys
[22:31] <randomhelper> siddhion: back, any knots in the installation?
[22:32] <siddhion> mneptok: so to be clear on the order of operations at Step 4. At Step 4 I will: 1) Make one single  Extended partition. 2) Make 3 sub-partitions (1 ext4 partition for Xubuntu, 1 ext4 partition for data and 1 Linux-Swap parition) with in that single Extended partition.
[22:32] <erUSUL> mneptok: i stand corrected
[22:32] <dominicdinada> mneptok: nevermind your wasting my time and yours i know all this you jumped into an issue 3/4 the way through
[22:33] <mneptok> siddhion: you said you want your home on a separate partition. you have to tell the installer to use that partition as /home
[22:33] <siddhion> randomhelper: mneptok came on and kind of took over. haha. but yeah i am just trying to verify the order of operations at step 4
[22:33] <SeanInSeattle> Hey all.  Is it possible to install tweetdeck (adobe air app) on ubuntu 10.04?
[22:33] <Exilas> try it?:P
[22:33] <blocky> is it possible to run wget on a local html file which contains links to websites
[22:33] <perla24> AaronM hola
[22:33] <SeanInSeattle> I was successful in installing adobe air, but when I try to install tweetdeck it does work by clicking on the link (via chrome).
[22:33] <perla24> que tal
[22:33] <siddhion> mneptok: i know. i am just trying to verify the order of operations. can you verify if my second to last message is accurate?
[22:34]  * perla24 envia saludos a todos
[22:34] <mneptok> siddhion: it is. is this a laptop?
[22:34] <tyler__> SeanInSeattle: I heard there was problems with Adobe Air on 64-bit Linux systems.
[22:34] <siddhion> mneptok: yes it is.
[22:34] <dominicdinada> ok these folders are taking up the most, .cache .wine .thumbnails .config .mozilla is their a safe way to clear the data?
[22:34] <mneptok> siddhion: do you want to be able to suspend and hibernate?
[22:34] <tyler__> SeanInSeattle: But, there was a work around... I would have to find it again though.
[22:34] <SeanInSeattle> @tyler__ I'm not running 64bit.  I'm running 32bit.
[22:34] <siddhion> mneptok: good question. thanks. yes that would be nice.
[22:35] <mneptok> siddhion: then make the swap partition at least 2x physical RAM
[22:35] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: in .wine is where all windows programs are stored so you do not want to touch it ...
[22:35] <tyler__> SeanInSeattle: You can try Googling 'installing Tweetdeck on 32-bit Ubuntu.'
[22:35] <tyler__> That might get you somewhere.
[22:35] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: .cache and thumbnails should be safe to clean up
[22:35] <mneptok> dominicdinada: rm -r ~/.thumbnails/*
[22:35] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: that may be but i dont have 300mb of programs in there i got 2 installed programs :(
[22:36] <mneptok> dominicdinada: and then use gconf-editor to set a size mimity for thumbnails
[22:36] <mneptok> *limit
[22:36] <scunizi> SeanInSeattle: gwibber is kinda like tweetdeck
[22:36] <siddhion> mneptok: thank you for this tip. very good. i was originally going to make the swap partition 1.5 x the size of my RAM which is currently 512mb.
[22:36] <mneptok> siddhion: make at least 1.1GB of swap
[22:36] <masterslakk> hey, anyone know any applications for audio recording.... like cool edit adobe audacity pro tools.... but free in ubuntu
[22:36] <murky> anyone have any idea about installing the games by playonlinux
[22:37] <mneptok> masterslakk: yes. audacity.
[22:37] <mneptok> !info audacity
[22:37] <tyler__> SeanInSeattle: You might have to grab the .air package and install it that way (instead of through the web interface).
[22:37] <GothSpark> hi
[22:37] <GothSpark> murky I know how =3
[22:37] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: mneptok as for the wine ? why would it take up 300mb the programs are really small and only 2 ?
[22:37] <siddhion> mneptok: right on. now is there an order as to which of the 3 sub-partitions I should create first? should i make the Linux-Swap parition 1st? the Xubuntu 10.04 paritition 1st? etc.
[22:38] <SeanInSeattle> @tyler__ I got the .air app, but its not executable, and I'm not sure what the adobe air app is to be able to execute it.
[22:38] <mneptok> dominicdinada: no idea. i don;t use WINE.
[22:38] <masterslakk> mneptok, thanks a lot...
[22:38] <mneptok> siddhion: i'd make / and swap first, and then allocate all remaining space to /home
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> SeanInSeattle: you use the installer in the menus and then point the installer at the file
[22:39] <Arskender> i can't even get seamonkey to run
[22:39] <Guest44907> hello
[22:39] <GothSpark> i tryed to run  the 3d tchat Imvu on wine witch was unsuccesfull due to lag issue , is there are still an equivalent to wineX or Cedeca that is free ?
[22:39] <SeanInSeattle> @actionparsnip the adobe air installer?
[22:39] <Arskender> help?
[22:39] <nrune> can anyone help me with [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/usr/share/gconf/defaults/ln
[22:39] <siddhion> mneptok: ok cool. how much space should i allocate to '/' ?
[22:40] <VCoolio> Arskender: does it say anything useful when you launch it from a terminal?
[22:40] <IdleOne> mneptok: should /swap be at beginning or end of drive?
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> SeanInSeattle: yes if you want to install air apps you install them there
[22:40] <goddard> whats the best video card for 80 bucks?

[22:41] <IdleOne> goddard: Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines and channel topics
[22:42] <IdleOne> goddard: also Please read http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[22:42] <goddard> IdleOne I went to off topic thanks for telling me
[22:42] <VCoolio> goddard: the offtopic channel is the place to ask this; I'd go for nvidia anytime, but opinions differ
[22:42] <goddard> maco its a joke dude
[22:42] <U-b-u-n-t-u> whats the command to move the close min max to the left
[22:42] <maco> goddard: its creepy
[22:42] <U-b-u-n-t-u> right*
[22:42] <mneptok> goddard: it's still inappropriate
[22:43] <MTecknology> blocky: ya.. but you'd need a loop
[22:43] <deusr> hi
[22:43] <deusr> someone help me? - http://pastebin.com/UjsbanHd
[22:43] <siddhion> mneptok: so how much slower is 'ext3' than 'ext4' ?
[22:43] <Arskender> i'd google for help but i can't launch a browser
[22:43] <scunizi> siddhion: you won't really notice
[22:44] <goddard> maco haha really thats even more funny then :D
[22:44] <MTecknology> blocky: while read line; do wget $line; done < yourfile
[22:44] <goddard> mneptok lighten up man you only have one life to live
[22:44] <siddhion> scunizi: hmm. ok.
[22:44] <FelixMargarita> I tried to make a new panel by right clicking on the the bottom bar and choosing "New Panel" but all that happened is that now I have a border (transparent) on the right side of my screen. I can't seem to add any icons to it, and I can't get rid of it now either???
[22:44] <mneptok> siddhion: i don't worry about benchmarks like that.
[22:44] <nrune> I upgraded rhythmbox and there seems to be a error with symlinks. it keeps giving me this error [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/usr/share/gconf/defaults/ln  Any ideas?
[22:45] <U-b-u-n-t-u> anyone know the command to move the |close min max| to the left
[22:45] <mneptok> goddard: last time. it was inappropriate, and donlt do it again.

[22:45] <goddard> mneptok what ever dude get a life
[22:46] <siddhion> goddard: this room is for ubuntu related issues. videocard info is better acquired in another channel. its only logical.
[22:46] <goomba5454> Hey everyone.  I am a an ubuntu newbie.  recently whenever i minimize windows they dont appear on the bottom bar.  what should i do?
[22:46] <techhelp_mike> is say to try a toolbar add-on
[22:46] <erUSUL> goomba5454: maybe you deleted the windows list applet by mistake? add it again
[22:46] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: to flush the logs ?
[22:47] <deusr> hello!
[22:47] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: flush the logs ?
 that command results in :  /usr/share/gconf/defaults/ln: symbolic link in a loop
[22:47] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: my var/logs is 200 mb
[22:47] <siddhion> mneptok: perhaps I am getting over precise but should i create the '/' partition before the 'Linux-Swap' partition or vice-versa or does it not matter?
[22:47] <techhelp_mike> goomba trygoing through the taskbar add- on list
[22:47] <mneptok> siddhion: doesn't matter
[22:47] <scunizi> siddhion: ditto
[22:48] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: i would try to find out what is spamming the logs ...
[22:48] <clao> ello
[22:48] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: normally i wouldnt care but this is a laptop i saved and space is critical on this machine as it has a 10gig drive
[22:48] <clao> hello
[22:48] <siddhion> thanks mneptok and scunizi
[22:48] <alcorn> soooo, Plymouth.... Has anyone actually gotten this to work properly? I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on 3 different computers with 3 different NVidia graphics cards and ALL of them are showing a LOWER resolution boot screen than previous Ubuntu version.
[22:48] <DJ_HaMsTa> the time will not change, any ideas ?
[22:48] <SeanInSeattle> *Hurray*  Tweetdeck is installing!! :)
[22:48] <michael___> hello
[22:48] <michael___> i am a ubunto
[22:49] <Arskender> does anyone have any insight as to why ff3 wont start in 8.04?
[22:49] <alcorn> ?tweetdeck
[22:49] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: check /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog and then you can look into make logratate more agrassively delete/compress logs
[22:49] <DarkStar11> what's a good program for zipping(compressing) files?
[22:49] <clao> i have a laptop with xubuntu lucid on it, but the wifi seems fried, its not beening detected.... is there aney way i can check to see if the wifi modem is ok? the ethenrnet coneection work, but the wifi, wiich i shoiuld be able to turn on  changing the wifi icon blue is not working anymroe
[22:49] <clao> please help me, someone
[22:50] <alcorn> DarkStar11, the one defaultly installed. Right click and select Compress
[22:50] <erUSUL> clao: which wifi chip is?
[22:50] <clao> hmm broadcom
[22:50] <LinuxAdmin> hi guys
[22:50] <DarkStar11> alcorn: Sorry Blod moment :)
[22:50] <erUSUL> clao: sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter
[22:50] <DarkStar11> alcorn: blond*
[22:50] <LinuxAdmin> I'm getting problems with drbd
[22:50] <erUSUL> clao: then reboot
[22:50] <alcorn> DarkStar11, =P
[22:50] <tuxlinux> i have lucid on a netbook "Asus Eee1050HA", using eee-control-daemon fails to connect. The only solution to this is adding acpi_ois=Linux on the kernel line in grub and reboot. Adding that also to your custom file in /etc/grub/ does not work, why do these settings always get lost after each Ubuntu release? Any way to permanently implement this?
[22:50] <clao> erUSUL, o try that right now, thanks
[22:50] <LinuxAdmin> I had it working until  today
[22:51] <tuxlinux> s/acpi_ois/acpi_osi
[22:51] <dominicdinada> LukeL: already done
[22:51] <diogo_79> hi
[22:51] <goomba5454> erUSUL: i added the windows list thing but each application doesnt appear on the bar. now they appear on a popup menu under the window selecter icon
[22:51] <MTecknology> nrune: hrm... my best guess.. delete the file..
[22:51] <dominicdinada> os-prober is spamming the logs
[22:51] <MTecknology> dominicdinada: do you have a dual boot?
[22:51] <LinuxAdmin> just a reboot and everything blow up
[22:51] <erUSUL> goomba5454: !!?? never seen such a thing ...
[22:52] <diogo_79> has anyone install wubi sucessfully in windows xp
[22:52] <dominicdinada> MTecknology: no dual boot
[22:52] <siddhion> its amazing just how bad the Xubuntu/Ubuntu installation tutorials are online. maybe there are some good ones but deeply buried in Google search.
[22:52] <dominicdinada> that and UFW is spamming the logs with the rules i put in place
[22:52] <goomba5454> erUSUL:  ugh just my luck.  do you have any other suggestions?
[22:52] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: well that's normal when there is a kernel update ( wich triggers update-grub and that os-prober)
[22:52] <LinuxAdmin> it seems that ubuntu installed a new version of the kernel and drbd module start getting problems
[22:52] <MTecknology> dominicdinada: you could just drop that app - imo it's just a pain - if no dual boot then it's kinda bloat
[22:52] <techhelp_mike> i only dual boot without the WUBI
[22:52] <siddhion> I got such better info here.
[22:52] <alcorn> tuxlinux, not related to your issue, I love those EEE's but the last one I bought, 1201n, had a TERRIBLE power port design, sooo SOOOO SOOOO very tiny, it broke within a month, very disappointed in Asus' poor design there, after so much good work from them, then they flop that. Just wanted to vent.
[22:52] <wildbat> diogo_79, 9.10 ya ~ but not recommend to use wubi
[22:52] <Lex> Hello gentlemen.
[22:52] <siddhion> thanks
[22:53] <Lex> I come to you with a query.
[22:53] <dominicdinada> MTecknology: even if i use wine
[22:53] <LinuxAdmin> I don't know how to solve this
[22:53] <MTecknology> dominicdinada: those two have nothing to do w/ each other
[22:53] <tyler__> Anyone know how to stop Empathy from auto-scrolling downwards when new messages appear when you're in an IRC channel?
[22:54] <lucid_lynx> does anyone have experience with using Ubuntu on Acer Aspire computers (especially the 8943G model or similar models)?
[22:54] <dominicdinada> apt-get purge os-probe ?
[22:54] <MTecknology> LinuxAdmin: I assume you looked at the logs and considered giving a few more details?
[22:54] <dominicdinada> r
[22:54] <alcorn> LinuxAdmin, drbd, what is that?
[22:54] <sebsebseb> !ask | Lex
[22:54] <erUSUL> tyler__: no; i do not think is possible right now... just use a rwal irc client like Xchat :)
[22:54] <nrune> MTecknology: will try
[22:54] <LinuxAdmin> I mean, it seems that if I install drbd from source
[22:54] <MTecknology> dominicdinada: yup
[22:54] <sebsebseb> Lexi ok what is the question?
[22:54] <MTecknology> !drdb | alcorn
[22:54] <MTecknology> !info drdb | alcorn
[22:54] <tyler__> erUSUL: I usually use Xchat but I thought I would give Empathy a try. Because I'm curious.
[22:55] <Lex> Surely, ubottu. This is a large channel, something I have failed to realize simply in my petty SearchIRC Java application.
[22:55] <KukMan> Can I total hide gnome panel from ubuntu 10.04?
[22:55] <tuxlinux> alcorn: gee, that sounds crappy. There is a problem with the battery not holding nearly all it should be providing. I need to speak to Asus about replacing it. Damn Asus.
[22:55] <MTecknology> alcorn: sorry... It's a way to sync virtual drives across systems
[22:55] <deusr> hello?
[22:55] <LinuxAdmin> it seems that module drbd can not be load
[22:56] <LinuxAdmin> drbd is a shared storage
[22:56] <Lex> I am currently trying to create the file system known as ext4. I am using mkfs.ext4 to create it, however, whenever I d, I get the "No such file or directory" error. I am trying to create the file system from what is currently "unkown".
[22:56] <sebsebseb> Lex: Ubottu is a computer program not a person. What do you want help with?
[22:56] <deusr> Does anyone know compile driver here?
[22:56] <deusr> ?
[22:56] <erUSUL> LinuxAdmin: dmesg should give you some clues as to why that's the case ...
[22:56] <alcorn> tuxlinux, good luck. Asus is know VERY WELL for their utterly terrible technical support and repair... horrible horrible horrible. Read reviews about it if you wana have nightmares.
[22:56] <tyler__> Only thing missing from the IRC capabilities of Empathy is the ability to stop auto-scrolling. :C Oh well, back to XChat. I thought Empathy was sexy too...
[22:56] <lucid_lynx> deusr: isn't it just like compiling any other program?
[22:56] <LinuxAdmin> ok just a minute
[22:56] <Lex> Ah. Lovely. Quite an intelligent bot.
[22:56] <LinuxAdmin> please
[22:56] <MTecknology> !enter > LinuxAdmin
[22:56] <erUSUL> Lex: why ot just use gparted ?
[22:57] <deusr> lucid_lynx, webcam ->>> http://pastebin.com/UjsbanHd
[22:57] <Lex> And, for the record, I tried gparted.
[22:57] <Lex> And I recieved the same answer.
[22:57] <alcorn> anyone having problems with fetching this latest Linux kernel with update manager?
[22:57] <nrune> MTeckonology: okay now I get this "IOError: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/usr/share/gconf/defaults/sudo"

[22:58] <deusr> lucid_lynx, my webcam the use driver pac7302 and ubuntu only got 7311
[22:58] <sllide> how do i use rpm files again?
[22:59] <Lex> Quite the barrage of questions.
[22:59] <erUSUL> !rpm | sllide
[22:59] <dara> anyway to configure graphics drivers on dell mini 10, with UNR?
[22:59] <sllide> right
[22:59] <goomba5454> erUSUL:  oops I accidentally added the wrong applet.  I feel so dumb.  Anyway thanks for the help =)
[22:59] <scunizi> sllide: alien does a conversion but it's not 100% and can lead to problems.. look for a .deb first
[22:59] <T1> Any suggestion.. on my mouse freeze?
[22:59] <dominicdinada> ok i found what was spamming my logs :O
[22:59] <erUSUL> goomba5454: no problem :)
[22:59] <Lex> That would be my query, gentlemen.
[22:59] <LinuxAdmin> as I said after a reboot drbd hasn't started, and it happens because it couldn't load drbd module
[22:59] <alcorn> soooo, Plymouth.... Has anyone actually gotten this to work properly? I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on 3 different computers with 3 different NVidia graphics cards and ALL of them are showing a LOWER resolution boot screen than previous Ubuntu version.

[23:01] <tuxlinux> Hey anyone having webcam problems with Gnome Cheese trying to record video? Webcam is usually pretty good, but once you start recording video with Cheese, it completely freezes and gets choppy. I also tried xwcam, recording video wasn't any better. Ideas?
[23:01] <Lex> We do have other chatters after all who also require assistance. ;)
[23:01] <sllide> kay got everyting
[23:01] <erUSUL> clao: then paste what you get in pastebin
[23:01] <LinuxAdmin> i've been reading about this and it seems like ubuntu updated the kernel and that kernel was build with a different version of gcc
[23:01] <sllide> everything
[23:01] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: ok i found what was spamming the log files but might need a hand ?
[23:01] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: ask away ...
[23:02] <deusr> lucid_lynx, I downloaded the driver with the command... hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
[23:02] <LinuxAdmin> that's why I can't load drbd module
[23:02] <alcorn> LinuxAdmin, according to DRBD
[23:02] <lucid_lynx> deusr: are you sure you're compiling the right drivers? because that seems to be drivers for TV tuner cards, not webcam drivers
[23:02] <spezticle> can somebody tell me what the apt-get install package name for the kde desktop environment is?
[23:02] <wildbat> Lex, just like the error said you don't have that device ~
[23:02] <volve> hey all, I'm trying to install 10.04 server on a usb thumb drive but when it gets to GRUB it fails, I tried LILO too but that fails also. I can't find details on Google that pertain to 10.04 at all. Anyone know the issue? :/
[23:02] <alcorn> LinuxAdmin, according to DRBD's website, it should be included in the kernel already... that's weird.
[23:02] <dominicdinada> apache is spamming the bejesus out of my logs. it does not just diplay an error the SOB logs like 1000 errors for one error
[23:02] <dominicdinada> one file is 166mb
[23:03] <dara> can anyone help me?
[23:03] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: well fix whatever apache is complaining about ... i.e the root cause
[23:03] <MTecknology> nrune: :S
[23:03] <LinuxAdmin> I also get this error from dmesg:

[23:03] <dominicdinada> !ask | dara
[23:03] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: log spamming is only the simptom
[23:03] <MTecknology> nrune: what were you installing?
[23:03] <tuxlinux> volve: I think its best to use UNetbootin to use the .ISO on your USB key
[23:03] <scunizi> volve: might be a bit tough as the server release isn't a live cd environment.. are you using the "Create a USB" tool built into ubuntu?
[23:03] <lucid_lynx> is it possible to remap mouse buttons to keyboard shortcuts, like with the btnx program, on a program-to-program basis?
[23:03] <deusr> lucid_lynx, the driver is here.. http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
[23:03] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: this is a development pc so of course it might encounter errors but i really dont need 1000 lines to tell me about 1 error
[23:03] <dara> does anyone know how to add the videos drivers on UNR on dell mini 10?
[23:03] <Arskender> i got firefox to run but it rage quits every time i try to download something
[23:03] <michael___> what systems do window have? I want a great driver
[23:04] <LinuxAdmin> I think ubuntu updated kernel-headers and drbd module get outdated
[23:04] <nrune> MTecknology upgrade to rhythmbox, I went ahead a deleted the sudo link and the system upgraded normaly.  Problem solved thanks very much!
[23:04] <acicula> que?
[23:04] <lucid_lynx> deusr: I know, but it everything points to it being DVB (TV tuner) drivers, not webcam drivers
[23:04] <IdleOne> !dvd | dara
[23:04] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: well; maybe you can configure apche to be less verbose. but i dunno how...
[23:04] <dara> thanks
[23:04] <MTecknology> nrune: yay- glad it's working for you :)
[23:04] <Arskender> hjelp
[23:04] <alcorn> volve, like tuxlinux said, use Unetbootin, it does great with putting linux on USB... never fails on me.
[23:05] <LinuxAdmin> it seems that if I build everything from source it gets start, but I don't want to make such a thing
[23:05] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: as i said you may (alternativaly) want to tweak logrotate so it is more aggressive deleting old log files
[23:05] <Arskender> the google searchbar doesn't work, the bookmarks are gone and it wont load any of the backups
[23:05] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: actually i am so Effin sick of "lamp" Apache friends is so much better for development BUT when i ran tasksel a few days ago it errors out with code 100 and i dont want to break anything
[23:05] <LinuxAdmin> I want my system updated normally, but this kind of situation is risky
[23:05] <Arskender> hjalp
[23:05] <dominicdinada> and keep my databases
[23:06] <clao> http://pastebin.com/jgaNPw9C
[23:06] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: see /etc/logrotate.conf
[23:06] <LinuxAdmin> this shared storage is where I have my kvm virtual machines installed. Imagine if I had it under production
[23:06] <clao> erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/jgaNPw9C
[23:06] <LinuxAdmin> I'm just testing it at the moment
[23:06] <dominicdinada> so remove the pos lamp and switch to xampp but keep all mysql tables etc... what is the best way to get rid of the tasksel lamp package
[23:07] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: so remove the pos lamp and switch to xampp but keep all mysql tables etc... what is the best way to get rid of the tasksel lamp package??
[23:07] <LinuxAdmin> everything went well, until today
[23:07] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: keep less weeks of logs. rotate every few days (instead once a week) ...
[23:07] <deusr> lucid_lynx, search for 093a:2620 in http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html
[23:07] <alcorn> LinuxAdmin, I am not 100% sure if I am correct on this but this link seems to indicate that 10.04 comes with cluster support built in and does make mention of DRBD in the title. Probably not understanding your needs fully though so forgive me if it does nothing to help you. http://fghaas.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/ubuntu-10-04-with-full-cluster-stack-support/
[23:08] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: umm your missing the point i have had it with on going problems with the LAMP package from tasksel i want to get ride of it and keep the tables... not change log rate
[23:08] <Arskender> if i try to go to anything in the menu it quits
[23:08] <LinuxAdmin> thanks alcorn

[23:08] <Walex> upgraded kernel to 2.6.32-22 and now I can no longer boot. My root fs is JFS. I have added the 'jfs.ko' to the initrd. I cannot mount the root filesystem or any other from the BusyBox prompt in the initramfs. Suggestions?
[23:08] <scunizi> dominicdinada: then uninstall apache
[23:09] <Arskender> it segfaults actually
[23:09] <SeanInSeattle> Does anyone know how to make the icons smaller on the Ubuntu Netbook Remix?  They're HUGE by default... :(
[23:09] <dominicdinada> scunizi: you missed the whole point when i select tasksel to remove lamp it errors out with code 100 and someone warned me about serious bugs with it
[23:09] <erUSUL> clao: sorry you made a mistake you put & instead of && the second time. can you repeat the paste ? « sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 && dmesg | tail -n25 »
[23:09] <LinuxAdmin> I had it working well, I understand how to configure a cluster, but this has got to be with a kernel update that broke consistency between kernel and it's modules
[23:09] <LinuxAdmin> how can this happens?
[23:09] <tuxlinux> SeanInSeattle: Try the appearance settings in the Preferences menu
[23:09] <joobie> hey guys, having a routing issue - hope someone can help. I have a firewall with multiple interfaces, currently setup with a default route to the main interface. A secondary interface I have setup pulls a public ip from an attached modem which is in half-bridge mode. I'm trying to setup a static route on the firewall so that a particular host only routes via that half-bridge interface.. All I see though when I do that is the interfa
[23:09] <joobie> ce saying an "arp who-has <the ip im routing> send to <the half-bridge public ip"
[23:09] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: tasksel can be used to remove tasks
[23:10] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: about xammp i do not know anything
[23:10] <scunizi> dominicdinada: bugs with tasksel? those are meta packages.. lamp installs apache, mysql and php or pearl.. typically php
[23:10] <lucid_lynx> deusr: could you please put than link in a context?
[23:10] <joobie> any ideas? I see that in a tcpdump on the half-bridge.. as if it doesnt know its own gateway??
[23:10] <scunizi> dominicdinada: they can be uninstalled individually
[23:10] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: well removing everything from the repos and ubuntu installers ??? i dont want to kill the system but i want the LAMP package i selected from "tasksel" gone and well like i said it is broken
[23:11] <LinuxAdmin> and the problem seems to be related with a kernel update that were compiled with a different version of gcc
[23:11] <alcorn> LinuxAdmin, not  really sure, that's pretty much past my level of Linux understanding. Pretty sure you know more about Linux than me,  sorry I can't be of help.
[23:11] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: as i said tasksel can be used. "sudo tasksel remove lamp"

[23:13] <alcorn> Anyone get Plymouth working correctly? The only thing it does for me is make my loading screen low resolution.
[23:13] <pathfind3r> i'm trying to make a bootable SD card,  i tried using unetootin and it said ti completed ok, but when i reboot and choose the SD card, it just goes right back to my main drive, what could the problemo be/
[23:14] <clao> erUSUL, nope, only lo and eth0
[23:14] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: http://pastie.org/993350 hmmm so i need to shut things down ?
[23:14] <deusr> lucid_lynx, if you access the link and look for what I sent, you will see that there is a driver for my webcam and it works (OK). in short, I need to just compile and upload the module
[23:14] <peter_curry> I need help with re-installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS using the ISO and other files that I just burned to a CD-R.  Can anyone help me?
[23:14] <daftykins> pathfind3r: check the card with gparted, see if it has the bootable flag set
[23:14] <erUSUL> clao: go to --> system>admin...>hardware drivers ; do the wifi card appear there ?
[23:15] <Odaym> does Lernid channel not exist on this server?
[23:15] <Odaym> :o
[23:15] <alcorn> pathfind3r, you chose SD card? That's not a usb drive. Try looking under your BIOS under your boot order, select your hard drive section if it has the ability to be expanded (has a plus sign) and you should see your usb stick listed in there, put it at the top of that list then back out and save and reboot.
[23:15] <lucid_lynx> deusr: well, where the heck does it stand that you need the v4l-dvb drivers? also, see the link I sent you
[23:15] <Odaym> i saw on LFX mag that its here on freenode
[23:15] <tuxlinux> SeanInSeattle: It might be possible your font size needs to be smaller, maybe in font settings under Preferences.
[23:15] <alcorn> pathfind3r, oh I see I missed that, you are making a bootable SD, my bad.
[23:15] <pathfind3r> alcorn: the boot order is set correctly in the bios, and you can choose it by hitting escape at boot
[23:15] <dominicdinada>  http://pastie.org/993350 hmmm so i need to shut things down ?  also will this kill mysql tables ?
[23:16] <BKTech86> WICD is saying my WEP password is bad but i know it's right, can anyone help?
[23:16] <alcorn> pathfind3r, ya try what daftykins said first.
[23:16] <Tofu> hey guys, i managed to install ubuntu-desktop on ubuntu server 10.4
[23:16] <Jordan_U> peter_curry: What do you mean "ISO and other files that I just burned to a CD-R"? Did you burn the CD using the iso image as a source, or did you burn a CD that contained the iso as a file on the CD?
[23:16] <deusr> lucid_lynx, ok
[23:16] <Tofu> do you know i can get the GUI loaded?
[23:16] <pathfind3r> daftykins: i just checked in gparted, the boot flag is set
[23:16] <Maletor> What distro do I want to download to put on my Macbook 5,1
[23:16] <SeanInSeattle> Does anyone know how to install Safari onto Ubuntu 10.04 without using wine?
[23:16] <erUSUL> dominicdinada: there appear to be problems in your tasksel install ...
[23:16] <lucid_lynx> does Ubuntu support writing to ISO files when they are mounted (by using the 'rw' flag when mounting them)?
[23:17] <Maletor> SeanInSeattle: safari = webkit
[23:17] <Maletor> google chrome = chromium
[23:17] <pathfind3r> alcorn: gparted says the boot flag is set
[23:17] <Jordan_U> lucid_lynx: No.
[23:17] <scunizi> erUSUL: can he sudo tasksel -f install like apt-get?
[23:17] <dominicdinada> erUSUL: that is what i was saying before :( error code 100 when i just run tasksel and get the interface
[23:17] <daftykins> pathfind3r: weird, i'm out of ideas if it really gives the option to boot that.
[23:17] <peter_curry> Jordan_U: I simply downloaded the ISO from the website.  Then I opened that file.  It brought up an image burning window.  I then burned the 460.5 MB to my CD-R.  What is the next step?
[23:17] <alcorn> pathfind3r, when you attempt to boot from it by F8 selection, does it seem to pause like it is trying to then default back to the HDD?
[23:17] <pathfind3r> daftykins: all modern notebooks i've seen let you choose sd cards at boot
[23:18] <peter_curry> Jordan_U: I got the ISO straight from the Ubuntu website.
[23:18] <erUSUL> scunizi: http://pastie.org/993350
[23:18] <Jordan_U> lucid_lynx: Closest I've seen to "writing" to an iso is using isomaster.
[23:18] <BKTech86> can anyone help me connect my wireless on my laptop? using WICD and it's saying my password is bad
[23:18] <lucid_lynx> Jordan_U: okay, thanks
[23:18] <daftykins> pathfind3r: ok, hadn't seen that myself and don't own any SD cards :>
[23:18] <SeanInSeattle> @Maletor what does that mean exactly?  Just because safari is webkit based?
[23:18] <clao> erUSUL, i think not, im using xubuntu, so not sre if om looking int he righ plce
[23:19] <Maletor> SeanInSeattle: safari is webkit with apple branding. that's it
[23:19] <pathfind3r> alcorn: its so fast i cant see if it says anything, its instant.. i choose the sd drive, then the regular drive bootloader comes up
[23:19] <erUSUL> clao: try « gksudo jockey-gtk » in a terminal
[23:19] <thatryan> so I just used Transmit and SFTP'd into my server with user root.  Uploaded my site files but nothing shows  up...
[23:19] <Jordan_U> peter_curry: Reboot with the CD in the drive and hopefully the LiveCD will boot (which wi.ll let you try Ubuntu from the CD and install it to your hard drive if you want to)
[23:19] <SeanInSeattle> @Maletor  Ok.  So are you saying that installing it is pointless?  If so, then why?
[23:19] <alcorn> pathfind3r, try to put SD at the top of your boot priority in bios and disable boot from HDD then reboot and see if it it says not OS found.
[23:19] <erUSUL> scunizi: no perl-fu here ... :(
[23:19] <pathfind3r> alcorn: it is set like that already
[23:19] <peter_curry> Jordan_U: Thank you.  That is what I thought ...
[23:20] <pathfind3r> alcorn: ah ok i didnt disable the hard drive
[23:20] <Jordan_U> lucid_lynx: You're welcome.
[23:20] <pathfind3r> alcorn: brb
[23:20] <Maletor> SeanInSeattle: yes install is painless sudo apt-get install webkitkde

[23:23] <Tofu> i just installed ubuntu-desktop and now i want to swicth to the gui. Do you know how?
[23:23] <BKTech86> please someone help me get my wireless internet to work
[23:23] <scunizi> Tofu: are you on the machine with desktop installed or ssh'd into it?
[23:24] <zer0t0xic> BKTech86,  check if youre drivers is compatible
[23:24] <Tofu> im on remote to the machine
[23:24] <Tofu> its a vpn
[23:24] <Tofu> ssh'd into it, yeah
[23:24] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, if i can see the router in network scanning does that mean its compatible?
[23:24] <peter_curry> Jordan_U: I just tried rebooting with the Live CD in the drive.  It gave me an I/O reading error.  So did the CD not burn correctly?
[23:24] <erUSUL> clao: ok now can you try « sudo rfkill list » and paste the output ?
[23:24] <zer0t0xic> BKTech86, System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers
[23:24] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, i did that, and i activated the driver, it says it should be working
[23:24] <clao> erUSUL, sure, one sec
[23:24] <scunizi> Tofu: k.. you won't see the desktop via ssh but you can start it.  it's either sudo service gdm start or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> Tofu: you can run: nautilus   and you will see the desktop (i believe)

[23:26] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, ok, now what?
[23:26] <zer0t0xic> BKTech86, and pastebin the result
[23:26] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, i can't its on another computer
[23:26] <clao> erUSUL, no, only the etehrnet card and the nvidia stuff
[23:26] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, the laptop has no internet
[23:26] <zer0t0xic> BKTech86, oh okay, which version of ubuntu you using ?
[23:26] <Tofu> i have vnc installed, but it takes me to some terminal like log in
[23:26] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, the latest luci
[23:26] <Tofu> no desktop
[23:27] <clao> erUSUL, but i see nothing about the wireless card
[23:27] <peter_curry> Can anyone else help me with this?  I just tried re-installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS using a Live CD that I burned using the ISO straight from the Ubuntu website.  Upon boot up with this newly created CD in the drive, it gave me an I/O reading error - with the only option to reboot - which then takes you back to the same error.  Should I burn the CD again - or simpy re-install Ubuntu 9.10, which I had on here originally?
[23:27] <scunizi> Tofu: so it's displaying locally to the machine but not remote.. the link dancek gave you through ubottu is valid if you want to run the full desktop local to you
[23:27] <liam_> I have a laptop with switchable graphics running 10.04. When I change the graphics to discrete and try to play a game the game won't load. Any ideas as to why this would happen?

[23:27] <clao> erUSUL, it used to work wirth 8.*
[23:28] <hztv> hi
[23:28] <erUSUL> clao: :/ no wonder the driver doesn't see it either... maybe it is disabled in bios somehow? or with a switch in the laptop ?
[23:28] <scunizi> Tofu: are you vpn'd into the machine? or ssh'd
[23:28] <hztv> i need help to restore the content of tomboay and ff bookmarks and evulution contacts. can you tell me how?
[23:28] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, what should i do?
[23:28] <zer0t0xic> BKTech86,  run this in terminal iwconfig
[23:28] <Tofu> scunizi: its a ssh's using remote desktop viewer
[23:28] <BKTech86> ok
[23:28] <Tofu> ssh*
[23:28] <BKTech86> then?
[23:28] <clao> erUSUL, but i see nothing about the wireless card
[23:28] <alcorn> DarkStar11, try VLC, download from their website. Handles almost ALL codecs.
[23:28] <zer0t0xic> BKTech86, sudo iwconfig
[23:29] <clao> erUSUL, it does have a switch, but its not working, it acutally has never worked with xubuntu before, it just turned on by it self
[23:29] <scunizi> Tofu: you have to have the vnc server running on the main machine for the client to connect to it
[23:29] <Tofu> im using ubuntu desktop 10.4 to ssh into the vpn
[23:29] <Tofu> i can log into vnc just fine
[23:29] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, ok done
[23:29] <Tofu> the problem is, its a terminal style look
[23:29] <Tofu> i wanted GUI
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> Tofu: make sure yo uvnc through an ssh tunnel
[23:29] <CppIsWeird> i installed xen-hypervisor on ubuntu desktop 10.04, now it stops booting just after it loads the login screens background image.
[23:30] <erUSUL> clao: sorry but i'm out of ideas now... mybe someone else can help you further.., :/
[23:30] <Tofu> ActionParsnip: i have no clue what that mean :(
[23:30] <scunizi> Tofu: you might be able to connect with ssh -X <ipaddress> and then run x programs from there.. with that you can run the vnc server and set it up to accept connections from outside.. with or without password
[23:30] <Tofu> nice
[23:30] <Tofu> I'll try that now
[23:30] <Tofu> do i need to config X after i installed ubuntu-desktop?
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> Tofu: vnc is not encrypted in any way so all keypresses and stuff are sent in clear text
[23:31] <clao> erUSUL, thanj anyway
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | Tofu
[23:31] <Tofu> here come the links again, lol
[23:31] <scunizi> Tofu: nope  you need to configure the vnc server running on the desktop.. it does not run by default
[23:31] <Tofu> ic ic
[23:31] <Tofu> ok, i'll config it now
[23:31] <Tofu> Thanks :)
[23:31] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, still there?
[23:32] <CppIsWeird> i installed xen-hypervisor on ubuntu desktop 10.04, now it stops booting just after it loads the login screens background image.

[23:33] <scunizi> peter_curry: you have to ask a more specific question.. there's lots of knowledge in this channel.. fresh installs aren't that hard so many will be willing to guide you
[23:33] <acorn> pathfind3r, you there?

[23:37] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, i figured out the solution
[23:37] <scunizi> uLinux: you need 2 nic cards to share.. probably either can be wireless.. by wireless do you mean evdo or some cellular connection?
[23:37] <dominicdinada> efff BS now my laptop is stuck in the memory test WTF

[23:37] <hztv> hi

[23:37] <BKTech86> zer0t0xic, uninstalled network-manager, restarted WICD, selected the correct WEP key type, and it works

[23:42] <CppIsWeird> fsck the keys, i think i broke my finger. >_<
[23:42] <well_laid_lawn> CppIsWeird: hold the right shift key at boot
[23:42] <acerimmer> !hi|jpstari
[23:43] <IdleOne> CppIsWeird: right shift key! well_laid_lawn :)
[23:43] <CppIsWeird> well_laid_lawn, that worked
[23:43] <paddymelon> iptorrents.com
[23:43] <well_laid_lawn> :]
[23:43] <CppIsWeird> ty. :)
[23:43] <IdleOne> paddymelon: don't spam links please
[23:44] <paddymelon> IdleOne, sorry, trying to go to their IRC and X-Chat put me automatically in this channel so it came here... at least I wasn't identifying :P (happened before)
[23:46] <sudotux> Something happened and now ubuntu wont boot it is stuck just booting into the memtest screen how do i fix
[23:47] <hztv> can anyone tell me how do i unmout a disk and then mount it again for prartition change?
[23:47] <hztv> can anyone tell me how do i unmout a disk and then mount it again for prartition change?
[23:48] <hztv> highliighted
[23:48] <matthew123> Can i create a launcher that launches a program as root without entering a password?
[23:48] <scunizi> hztv: sudo umount /dev/<diskname>  .. then sudo mount -a
[23:48] <sudotux> Something happened and now ubuntu wont boot it is stuck just booting into the memtest screen how do i fix
[23:48] <uLinux> how do i kill network manager
[23:48] <uLinux> how do i kill network manager
[23:48] <mneptok> !repeat
[23:48] <scunizi> uLinux: you have to uninstall it....
[23:49] <thune3> sudotux: if you hold shift and go into the grub2 menu, do you have a kernel listed at all?
[23:49] <hztv> scunizi, what is under disk name?
[23:49] <sudotux> let me check on that pc
[23:50] <scunizi> hztv: you have to know where the disk is mounted.. all disks have a reference in /dev/<something> and/or /media/<something>
[23:50] <sudotux> thune3, wtf no i dont
[23:50] <hztv> scunizi, so how do i know it?
[23:51] <plecosotmus> Hello friends. I am wondering how I can find out if the most recent kernel released through system update includes TRIM support :)
[23:51] <plecosotmus> Is there a changelog or something that's published somewhere?
[23:51] <igoryonya_> Are there any file downloader that supports redownloading only the corrupted portion of the downloaded file?
[23:51] <scunizi> hztv: you could sudo fdisk -l to get a list of your partitions.. identify the one you want
[23:51] <thune3> sudotux: hmmm, were you cleaning out old kernels or something before this happened?
[23:51] <jrib> igoryonya_: how does it know it's corrupted?
[23:52] <Oer> TRIM support > 2.6.33 ?
[23:52] <sudotux> thune3,  yes i followed a person advice to remove old kernals :/
[23:52] <compengi> usr_, using a kvm switch?
[23:52] <sudotux> !recovery
[23:53] <plecosotmus> Oer: I'm running 2.6.32-22 on Lucid
[23:53] <Oer> me to, no trim support yet
[23:53] <thune3> sudotux: sounds like the plan
[23:54] <igoryonya_> jrib: For example, I've downloaded a file, but dew to a computer freeze, the download got corrupted in the place of the file which it was downloading when the computer froze. When you open the file with an archiver, it knows where it got corrupted, so the downloader would also use an archive lib to determine the corruption point and download some bytes, kilobytes from that byte, where it...
[23:54] <igoryonya_> ...detected the corruption, by using the archiving lib.
[23:54] <hztv> scunizi, unmount /dev/sda1
[23:54] <AndrewX192> Ubuntu network-manager is getting confused about the state of my wireless card, how can I fix this?
[23:54] <hztv>  didn't worked
[23:54] <sudotux> thune3 if i can find my 10.04 dvd in all these dvds
[23:54] <matthew123> I can only launch a program by typing sudo -h...is there a way to include that in a launcher?
[23:54] <igoryonya_> jrib: instead of redownloading an entire file again
[23:54] <KF07> OK so I just started using ubuntu and there's this little thing that's bugging me. When I right-click somewhere, then I right-click somewhere else it just cancels the first context menu, so I then have to right-click again. If that makes sense.
[23:54] <AndrewX192> It works about 1/16th of the time
[23:54] <AndrewX192> which requires a ton of reboots to get it to work
[23:54] <jrib> igoryonya_: you probably want wget -c
[23:54] <acicula> plecosotmus, i think he means to say you need a .33 kernel for trim support
[23:54] <plecosotmus> Oer: I heard somewhere that 2.6.32.22 originally had TRIM support but Ubuntu removed it. It's expected to be re-added to 2.6.32.22... Does that sound right?
[23:55] <Daekdroom> plecosotmus, doesn't look like ubuntu to remove and add things like that after the development cycle is completed.
[23:55] <hztv> scunizi, unmount /dev/sda1 didn't worked
[23:55] <FlameTai1> Ummm guys I'm having a problem o-o
[23:56] <plecosotmus> ok, so i probably have to wait for 10.10?
[23:56] <acerimmer> FlameTai1: ask
[23:56] <FlameTai1> I'm trying to go to google.com right?
[23:56] <krysis> If anyone needs help PM me, i'll be here for a bit
[23:56] <FlameTai1> And like
[23:56] <Daekdroom> plecosotmus, that or compile/get a kernel that has TRIM support
[23:56] <Oer> no, rumours that is, i'm waiting also for the new kernel or next 2.6.34 ..
[23:56] <FlameTai1> I keep getting this, I'll PM it to you acerimmer
[23:56] <IdleOne> !enter | FlameTai1
[23:56] <igoryonya_> jrib: wget -c is what I use, and it doesn't detect corruption, although, there might be some other option from all of those endless options in it.
[23:57] <scunizi> hztv: it's sudo umount /dev/sda1
[23:57] <jrib> igoryonya_: tell it to start earlier?
[23:57] <scunizi> gotta run..
[23:57] <IdleOne> krysis: we encourage everybody to keep the support questions/answers in the channel.
[23:57] <jrib> igoryonya_: what you are asking is impossible, but you can certainly use wget -c to /continue/ a download from some spot
[23:58] <hztv> scunizi, ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo umount /dev/sda1
[23:58] <hztv> umount: /dev/sda1: not mounted
[23:58] <krysis> IdleOne, alright sorry, i figured it could be a bit of a relief on the chat
[23:58] <hztv> is it ok?
[23:58] <Oer> plecosotmus, look at https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa , then you want to wait for maverick :-) or test the alpha1
[23:59] <igoryonya_> jrib: Nothing is impossible, but -c keeps the corruption, as I said, do you know the option, that allows to start earlier?
