[00:00] <icehawk78> I've got a session of screen running on my ubuntu server that I always connect to whenever I ssh in (screen -x). Is there any way to 'back up' that session of screen or something similar?

[00:01] <WesTCB> its still typing the same way
[00:01] <WesTCB> do i have to reboot for efects
[00:02] <mechdave> NewWave, sometimes it takes a little while, the other way to do it is Places-->connect to server and enter the ip address of the other machine in it and connect using samba
[00:02] <spezticle> if i install gnome to make network settings, but then disable gnomes auto start up will the connections stay or does gnome need to run to actuate the settings?
[00:03] <NewWave> mechdave: note: the folder is really shared. Appears an network ipictureabove the icon folder
[00:04] <mechdave> NewWave, there should be 2 little arrows above the folder
[00:04] <WesTCB> a got it
[00:04] <sebsebseb> !java | drdozer1

[00:14] <cletus> Dear ubuntu irc, i seek help. I want to install ubuntu on an old harddrive. It is the slave of my windows install right now. If I install will i have windows boot manager come up and automatically select xp after 10 seconds or whatever?(i want this)
[00:14] <ikonia> cletus: no you won't
[00:14] <drizzt_> cletus, you will have to do it manually
[00:14] <ikonia> cletus: you'll get grub
[00:15] <cletus> I want to use wbm, Ive heard there can be problems with grub
[00:15] <ikonia> cletus: you heard wrong
[00:15] <ikonia> cletus: you can't use windows boot manager
[00:15] <mechdave> cletus, you can configure it to boot windows by default with grub
[00:15] <cletus> Well Can I have grub boot into windows automaitically after a while like i said?
[00:15] <ikonia> cletus: yes
[00:15] <cletus> nvm
[00:15] <mechdave> cletus, I know of no problems with grub
[00:16] <cletus> @mechadave mustve been some retard on the forums then
[00:16] <drizzt_> ikonia, i cannot? it worked with Grub 1
[00:16] <ikonia> cletus: drop with the name calling - you're asking the questions,
[00:16] <cletus> Alright, So after my new install on the slave will my computer boot into ubuntu automatically?
[00:16] <cletus> lol
[00:16] <ikonia> drizzt_: you cannot what ?
[00:16] <ikonia> cletus: it will boot into grub, you can configure grub to auto boot windows or linux
[00:16] <drizzt_> use windows boot loader to start grub2
[00:17] <cletus> So grub will already be installed?
[00:17] <ikonia> drizzt_: you are not meant to do that
[00:17] <mechdave> cletus, lol, there may be a development version with problems at some stage, maybe someone didn't understand properly as well :)
[00:17] <cletus> herm :/
[00:17] <ikonia> cletus: grub will be installed onto the primary disk's mbr as part of the ubuntu install
[00:17] <mechdave> drizzt_, I do not recommend that...
[00:18] <cletus> well.
[00:19] <cletus> Will anything be messed up should I decide to get rid of ubuntu?
[00:19] <mechdave> cletus, basically go ahead and install your ubuntu on the second drive, being careful not to overwrite your windows install, grub will automatically install itself on the MBR and you can then select windows on reboot.
[00:19] <Docteh> since theres lucid lucid-updates and lucid-security does that mean if I apt-mirror the "lucid" repo i don't have to worry about it changing?
[00:19] <ikonia> cletus: the only thing you'll need to do is re-apply(install) the windows mbr
[00:19] <cletus> Is that hard?
[00:19] <mechdave> cletus, if you want to get rid of ubuntu all you do is boot into windows and run mbrfix
[00:19] <ikonia> cletus: no, boot from windows cd, one repair command, its well documented
[00:20] <cletus> ehhh
[00:20] <cletus> I dont know if I know where my cd's at lol
[00:20] <ikonia> cletus: then find them
[00:20] <giiker> ikonia: I aliased a program command, which needs to be run a sudo, now Iḿ getting permission deniedwhen running the aliased command
[00:20] <cletus> noooooo
[00:20] <ikonia> giiker: what is the alias
[00:21] <Docteh> uh cant you fix the mbr from linux as well?
[00:21] <FrozenFire> Is there a panel widget which shows a text entry, which take the text entered in that entry, and uses it as the parameter to a command?
[00:21] <ikonia> Docteh: you have to take a manual backup of the mbr using dd first
[00:21] <mechdave> cletus, download another --> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[00:21] <cletus> Not if im uninstalling it lol
[00:21] <Docteh> the default mbr is kind of simple
[00:21] <ikonia> mechdave: windows cd is what he's missing
[00:21] <cletus> right
[00:21] <mechdave> ikonia, oops :)
[00:21] <giiker> ikonia: in my alias file it is like this: subsonic='/home/notyou/programs/subsonic-3.7-standalone/subsonic.sh'
[00:21] <mechdave> cletus, can you still boot into windows?
[00:22] <cletus> Yes?
[00:22] <ikonia> giiker: so alias it to sudo /home/notyou/blah
[00:22] <userone> got it...renameusbdrive..
[00:22] <mechdave> cletus, AND YOU WANT TO REMOVE UBUNTU?
[00:22] <giiker> ikonia: let me see
[00:22] <mechdave> Oops caps... sorry
[00:22] <cletus> No, I havnt installed it yet
[00:22] <cletus> But ive dabbled with wubi on the same hd as my windows install
[00:22] <bsmith093> i just did a tone of partition editing to expand my windows install alsong side my lucid install
[00:22] <King_of_Metal> Hi, I'm trying to get my wifi working through the command line, but I'm not having success. I generated the wpa_supplicant.conf with wpa_passphrase and I'm running `wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf`. I only receive as a clue "Disconnect event - remove keys" and I get associated. What can I do?
[00:22] <mechdave> cletus, you can boot into windows and repair the MBR through the command line without the cdrom
[00:23] <bsmith093> now ive booted into grub rescue HELP what do i do
[00:23] <cletus> @mechdave: Alright, awesome.
[00:23] <cletus> Basically id just be getting rid of the option for ubuntu then?
[00:24] <cletus> LIke, it wouldnt actually cause many problems if I didnt repair it?
[00:24] <Docteh> i should rewrite apt-cacher to have an ondisk layout closer to apt-mirror
[00:24] <g0st> i am trying to install linux from a cd on to an emachine, however when i boot up the emachine it freezes at verifying dmi pool data. i tried to switch the bios to boot from the cd drive but im still hitting a wall, anybody have any thoughts?
[00:24] <mechdave> cletus, yes, if you re write the MBR you will still have ubuntu on the second drive, just remove the partition on the second drive to get rid of ubuntu
[00:25] <Docteh> g0st: try a different cd, or try booting off of usb
[00:25] <cletus> okkkk, thanks you all have been VERY helpful
[00:25] <mechdave> cletus, no, windows and linux will happily co exist on different drives :)
[00:25] <Berxwedan> guys i downloaded "Stockfish"
[00:25] <Berxwedan> there's one Makefile in the src folder
[00:25] <cletus> Im a happy script kiddy :]
[00:25] <Berxwedan> how do i compile it?
[00:25] <Spenc0r> Does anyone know why after waking the computer up from Standby, the ath5k wireless stops working, untill i restart.
[00:25] <ikonia> Berxwedan: read the file called README or INSTALL
[00:26] <Berxwedan> no configure or install
[00:26] <kzman> where is the appearence directory?
[00:26] <ikonia> Berxwedan: there should be a README and INSTALL file
[00:26] <giiker> ikonia: it worked, I knew it would be something like this, but forgot it. thanks, do you know why after using my sudo passwd my shell still remembers it after opening another one?
[00:26] <mechdave> cletus, go and install if you want, we will be here to help you along the way :)
[00:26] <mojito> does anyone knows why the canon Rebel XT driver for Lucyd Lynx 64 bits dont work properly?
[00:26] <ikonia> giiker: 15 minute time out
[00:26] <g0st> i dont have a flash drive, and the cd came with the ubuntu book i bought, any thoughts on how to work around/fix the freeze at the "verifying dmi pool data" screen?
[00:26] <giiker> ikonia: thnx alot!!
[00:26] <ikonia> welcome
[00:26] <bobfcincinnati> hey guys possibly a dumb question. I have my httpd set to run as apache:apache in my httpd.conf and i did a chown on my web directory to foo:apache and set permission u+wrx,g+r but apache still wont' read them unless I make apache a member of the foo group in /etc/group ... shouldn't I not have to make it a member of the group since i set the group to apache?
[00:27] <giiker> anybody else here uses subsonic?
[00:27] <mario_> hi all
[00:27] <k0d3g3ar> bobfcincinnati, depends where your logs are being written to
[00:27] <foul_owl> anyone here use an alternative to facebook?
[00:27] <Berxwedan> ikonia: there's only a Makefile file, rest are .cpp and .h files
[00:27] <ikonia> bobfcincinnati: check if apache is actually a mamber of the apache group
[00:28] <k0d3g3ar> foul_owl, yeh, don't use facebook.  there's an alternative
[00:28] <mechdave> mojito, is there a driver for that camera?
[00:28] <Berxwedan> readme tells me to use makefile
[00:28] <ikonia> Berxwedan: make -c $makefile
[00:28] <giiker> foul_owl: there is one, but I forgot the name, google: facebook alternative
[00:28] <Berxwedan> ahh that's all? thank you :)
[00:28] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia: apache:x:48:apache
[00:28] <cletus> I want to download the latest ubuntu from a torrent
[00:28] <ikonia> bobfcincinnati: did you do chown -R on the direcotry
[00:28] <cletus> which one do i want? http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download
[00:28] <bobfcincinnati> k0d3g3ar: /home/foo/logs live directory /home/foo/public
[00:28] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia, yes
[00:29] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia, the direcotries are acutally 755
[00:29] <ikonia> bobfcincinnati: that should work fine (works fine for me here)
[00:29] <foul_owl> i have googled them, i want to know your personal experiences with various ones
[00:29] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia: wihout apache being a member of the foo group?
[00:29] <k0d3g3ar> bobfcincinnati, what does your error logs say?
[00:29] <bobfcincinnati> k0d3g3ar: sec .. i have it set back to what works
[00:29] <happyface> how do I increase the timeout where gnome locks me out?
[00:29] <mechdave> cletus, what kind of machine do you have?
[00:29] <ikonia> bobfcincinnati: foo is the owner user, the foo group has no relevence
[00:30] <cletus> desktop
[00:30] <mechdave> cletus, Ok, 32 bit or 64 bit processor?
[00:30] <giiker> foul_owl: I usually create fake accounts to test any app/service/webservice etc. better from your own!
[00:30] <cletus> I dunno D: 2.4 ghz single core i believe
[00:30] <alesan> hi! I have a program (evtest) that I wish to understand to which package it is contained
[00:30] <alesan> given a file, how do I find its package?
[00:31] <mechdave> cletus, if you are unsure download the 32 bit desktop version... I think that is best for a beginner :)
[00:31] <alesan> should I use the "apt-get" thing?
[00:31] <bobfcincinnati> ikonia: k0d3g3ar: I'm stupid haha did the -R on one site but not the other
[00:31] <bobfcincinnati> cheers for the help!
[00:31] <cletus> @mechdave the i386?
[00:31] <trism> alesan: dpkg -S path
[00:32] <trism> alesan: assuming it is installed, you can use apt-file if it isn't
[00:32] <giiker> anybody else here uses subsonic?
[00:32] <mechdave> cletus, yeah, unless you have a 64 bit processor...
[00:32] <cletus> I wouldnt know lol, isnt there a start run command to know
[00:32] <mechdave> cletus, although the 32 bit would still work on a 64 bit machine
[00:32] <Spenc0r> Does anyone know why after waking the computer up from Standby, the ath5k wireless stops working untill i restart?
[00:33] <Berxwedan> ikonia: it just showed the usage of the make command
[00:33] <ikonia> Berxwedan: make -C
[00:33] <Berxwedan> yeah
[00:33] <ZykoticK9> cletus, if you open a terminal and type "cat /proc/cpuinfo" you could find the CPU name and find out if it's 32 or 64 bit
[00:33] <mechdave> cletus, download the 32 bit i386 from here --> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[00:33] <ikonia> Berxwedan: make -F
[00:34] <cletus> im in windows but i believe i have 64 bit?
[00:34] <bastidrazor> Spenc0r: this isn't a solution but a workaround.. unload the module then reload it. sudo modprode -r ath5k && sudo modprobe ath5k
[00:34] <cletus> "amd athlon 64 processor"
[00:34] <Spenc0r> okay thanks bastidrazor
[00:34] <mechdave> cletus, get the 64 bit version then :)
[00:34] <ZykoticK9> cletus, so you could use 64 or 32 bit - 32bit is typically a little easier, but if you have more the 4G RAM go 64bit
[00:34] <Berxwedan> actually it was -f ikonia :D
[00:34] <mechdave> cletus, same location, just select the 64 bit radio button :)
[00:35] <cletus> Well atm I only have 1 gig xD   so id want 32?
[00:35] <Berxwedan> thank you ikonia
[00:36] <giiker> anybody else here uses subsonic?
[00:36] <Spenc0r> ah there we go hid joins/parts
[00:36] <cletus> well shit, i think i am 32 bit. This is very confusing
[00:37] <ikonia> cletus: control your language
[00:37] <lep2> fresh install of 10.04 LTS from alternate cd .... and I'm getting the message 'Error: failed to connect to NBD server.' when trying to boot an ltsp client
[00:37] <ZykoticK9> Spenc0r, depends on client - for xchat right click the channel on left / settings "hide join/parts..."
[00:37] <Spenc0r> yea i done it,
[00:37] <lep2> the client boots and shows the ubuntu boot splash...then bails out to a busybox prompt
[00:37] <ZykoticK9> Spenc0r, oh sorry my bad
[00:37] <Spenc0r> Lol its cool.
[00:38] <jchristensen> anyone know how to stop my touchpad from going bezerk on my dell studio 1555
[00:38] <mechdave> cletus, when you boot the computer what does BIOS report your processor as?
[00:38] <happyface> how do I increase the timeout where gnome locks me out?
[00:38] <Spenc0r> also i have anyother uh "issue" as it was over the recent "months" of using ubuntu the start up has got very slow am i missing something, to speed it up again. i remove non used packages] already.
[00:39] <cletus> @mechdave I dunno
[00:39] <Spenc0r> removed*
[00:39] <PigeonCluster> happosade, system->preferences->screensaver and change the time till screensaver start
[00:39] <mechdave> cletus, are you going to install on the machine you are using now?
[00:39] <happyface> thanks PigeonCluster
[00:39] <PigeonCluster> happosade, sorry, i meant happyface
[00:39] <cletus> under winmsd.exe it says x86 for processor which i suppose means 32, and yes on this machine
[00:39] <schoppenhauer> hello. i just read that there was a colinux-based ubuntu named "andlinux". since afaik colinux doesnt support 64 bit windows yet, does this support the PAE-Extension ("bigmem"), since I am thinking of buying additional RAM soon, and wiould then have 4 gig
[00:39] <schoppenhauer> and need either bigmem or 64 bit to use it
[00:39] <paraintj> what was the name of the channel that does the linux application voting?
[00:40] <PigeonCluster> paraintj, hold on, waiting on ubottu
[00:40] <jdeloach> Could someone help me get a new SATA card setup? On Newegg reviewers said it worked with no drivers for them on previous versions of Ubuntu, however I cannot find it on lshw or lspci.
[00:40] <mechdave> cletus, yeah, grab the 32 bit version... even if your machine turns out to be 64 bit the 32 bit version will still run, but the 64 bit version will not run on a 32 bit machine :)
[00:41] <alesan> trism, how do I download the "source" of a given package?
[00:41] <PigeonCluster> jdeloach, if it doesn't even show up, check the connections and bios three times
[00:41] <Berxwedan> guys do you know a cool GUI for stockfish chess engine?
[00:41] <alesan> I want "evtest package sources for example
[00:41] <alesan> I want "evtest" package sources for example
[00:41] <cletus> @mechdave: cool, cool. downloading now, biting the bullet
[00:41] <keystone> jjeloach:if tou have anothe machine try install in that
[00:41] <jdeloach> PidgeonCluster: This is an OLD computer (10+) the connections look good. It doesn't mention anything about it in the BIOS.
[00:41] <mechdave> cletus,  go for it :)
[00:42] <jdeloach> keystone: As a last option, okay.
[00:42] <PigeonCluster> !tab >jdeloach
[00:42] <PigeonCluster> !repeat > alesan
[00:42] <ZykoticK9> alesan, "sudo apt-get source evtest" might work
[00:42] <alesan> PigeonCluster, don't you see I corrected a typo?
[00:42] <PigeonCluster> paraintj, sorry, ubottu seems to be ignoring me when i ask about channels
[00:42] <mechdave> cletus, are you installing on the machine you are on now or different machine?
[00:42] <PigeonCluster> alesan, yes i do. please don;t.
[00:43] <Spenc0r> er, what helps to speed up the boot of ubuntu after it slows down? >_>
[00:43] <cletus> @mechdave this one
[00:43] <paraintj> PigeonCluster: np thanks anyway
[00:43] <alesan> PigeonCluster, the message you have sent me is highly irrelevant
[00:43] <cletus> @mechdave why
[00:43] <mechdave> cletus, righto, when you get to the partition editor on the install be careful not to accidently install over windows :)
[00:44] <cletus> ballz
[00:44] <PigeonCluster> alesan, sorry 'bout that, there isn't a factoid for everything, but it should give you a general idea of why any repeating is bad.
[00:44] <cletus> @mechdave it will show how big each is right?
[00:44] <keystone> whats the diff between gksudo and sudo?
[00:44] <alesan> PigeonCluster, so should I leave a quote open and make my message not understandable?
[00:44] <nUboon2Age> question: if you have a driver that comes as source code zipped in .bz2 can any of the package managers build it for you, or do you have to do it manually?
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> !gksudo > keystone
[00:44] <jdeloach> PidgeonCluster, the thing you had ubottu send me... it didn't send me anything.
[00:44] <PigeonCluster> alesan, it looked understandable to me.
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> keystone, one if for command line and one is for GUI programs
[00:45] <PigeonCluster> !tab > jdeloach
[00:45] <mechdave> cletus, yes, I recommend you put ubuntu on the second drive with a swap file
[00:45] <Kamilion> !rbeq
[00:45] <rdancer> hi I'm looking for a tool that captures a video of a single window, and I want to upload the resulting video on YouTube -- is there a program or toolchain that allows me to do that, on Ubuntu?
[00:45] <PigeonCluster> !msgthebot > Kamilion
[00:45] <Spenc0r> how fast Generally should ubuntu take to load up from boot? cus mine takes about 4/5 mins sometimes.
[00:45] <Kamilion> rdancer: gtkrecordmydesktop should work for that, IIRC
[00:45] <jdeloach> PigeonCluster, still not getting it. I have no idea why.
[00:46] <keystone> so thats why when you use like gksudo ,gedit, it doesnt work unless you use ' marks
[00:46] <cletus> @mechdave swapfile? What?
[00:46] <keystone> weird
[00:46] <mechdave> cletus, this is for 7.04 but it is still worth reading --> https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/apcs03.html
[00:46] <ZykoticK9> keystone, "gksu gedit" or "gksudo gedit" should work without any ' marks
[00:46] <Danili> does anyone in here know a vSphere Client alternative for ubuntu??
[00:46] <cletus> mechdave i have 2 drives?
[00:47] <rdancer> Kamilion: it produces an Ogg video that youtube won't accept
[00:47] <keystone> didnt for me only worked with marks
[00:47] <nUboon2Age> mechdave:  question: if you have a driver that comes as source code zipped in .bz2 can any of the package managers build it for you, or do you have to do it manually?
[00:47] <rdancer> Kamilion: and VLC nor handbrake would convert to MP4
[00:47] <Kamilion> rdancer: I'd use handbrake to convert it
[00:47] <Edgan> How do I disable autoremove for aptitude? I have tried   APT::Get::AutomaticRemove "0";   APT::Get::HideAutoRemove "1";   Debug::pkgAutoRemove "0";, but see no change
[00:47] <mechdave> cletus, a swap file partition is used just in case you fill up RAM and then data is written to swap file
[00:47] <keystone> for fstab
[00:47] <rdancer> Kamilion: see, I was ahead of you there :-/
[00:47] <cletus> uhuh...
[00:48] <cletus> mechdave thats confusing
[00:48] <mechdave> nUboon2Age, you have to compile it yourself... Need to carefully read the README and INSTALL files :)
[00:48] <Kamilion> rdancer: heh, yeah. Honestly though, something must be wrong, because I've used gtkrecordmydesktop and run it's output through handbrake before.
[00:48] <rdancer> Kamilion: handbrake actually chops off the first ~1 minute of the video when converting
[00:48] <mechdave> cletus, it is very different to installing windows
[00:48] <rdancer> Kamilion: that's good news
[00:48] <cletus> ;_;
[00:49] <mechdave> cletus, hang on shall find you a install guide for 10.04
[00:49] <cletus> okkkkk
[00:49] <Kamilion> rdancer: double check you've got all the proper libs and such, and try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras for some codecs.
[00:49] <sebsebseb> cletus:  mechdave  theres a basic install guide in the manual
[00:49] <sebsebseb> !manual | cletus
[00:49] <rdancer> Kamilion: what's wrong is that somebody thought that using Ogg video was good idea for output before asking the videolan and mplayer guys if their input codecs were ok with it
[00:49] <cletus> The only confusing thing is the swapfile
[00:49] <sebsebseb> cletus: Ubuntu is easier to install than Windows really :)
[00:50] <britany_okla> Hi I upgraded to the 10.04 now i am having problems with flash any ideas
[00:50] <drizzt_> cletus, i wouldn't trust basic install guides
[00:50] <sebsebseb> cletus: if you do the guided install, it will take care of it all for you
[00:50] <rdancer> Kamilion: I'll just install windows I guess
[00:50] <cletus> Yeah just dont mess around with console?
[00:50] <nUboon2Age> mechdave: does just running make have a chance of working?
[00:50] <manlymatt83> I have an old T42 with 1 GB RAM.  I'm running 9.04 right now without problems.  Is it recommended to upgrade to 10.04, and if so, will that work ok?
[00:50] <sebsebseb> cletus: its when you do manual install that you can set up your own swap, and  a seperate /home and so on,  but as a new user, easier to go with the guided install
[00:50] <cletus> @drizzt why no install guidesss
[00:50] <Kamilion> rdancer: Um, actually, AFAIK, Theora's the only choice they have -- you need a MPEG4 patent license to generate commercial content using h264 -- usually google/youtube will take care of that for you.
[00:50] <mechdave> cletus, have a read of this guide --> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/index.html
[00:50] <rdancer> Kamilion: not in EU
[00:51] <sebsebseb> manlymatt83: you could upgrade, but you would have to upgrade through 9.10,  and upgrade to 9.10 might go wrong on you
[00:51] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> how can i get 7zip/7z-rar to ignore crc error in rar file?
[00:51] <rdancer> Kamilion: plus youtube accepts Ogg video (or so they say)
[00:51] <manlymatt83> sebsebseb: I was thinking of just installing 10.04 from ISO
[00:51] <joshac1> hello can somebody help me with backtrack4
[00:51] <manlymatt83> I'm just wondering if 10.04 will be slower than 9.04 on my old laptop
[00:51] <cletus> hnnngggg
[00:51] <cletus> *grabs heart*
[00:51] <sebsebseb> mechdave: 9.04 is a lovely release, still supported untill the end of October :)  and 10.10 comes out on the 10th October, so if going to do a clean install, may as well wait untill that
[00:51] <rdancer> Kamilion: fair point though
[00:51] <ZykoticK9> !backtrack | joshac1
[00:51] <mechdave> nUboon2Age, sometimes, you really need to read the README and INSTALL files that are in the package... they will tell you what you need :)
[00:52] <drizzt_> vic20gmr_[lucid], use unrar
[00:52] <sebsebseb> mechdave: also you got 1GB RAM, thats enough RAM to  virtual machine try 10.04 :)
[00:52] <Kamilion> rdancer: which is what makes me thing something's wrong with your system, as I've both uploaded .OGM files with mp3/Theora and handbrake/x264'd content. I know they use ffmpeg to convert, so you can try your content with that.
[00:52] <drizzt_> drizzt_, then add 'leave corrupted files on disk' option
[00:52] <userone> i want to change permissions of an external usb hdd, is this right for the command line? /dev/sdc1 /media/freecom_120gb ext4 defaults,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000 0 0
[00:52] <britany_okla> I am running lucid on an old laptop not having anyproblems other than flash
[00:52] <joshac1> i just want to install a theme i get but i cant i tried to turn on the desktop effects but dosnt work tried also install desktop effects but sais command not found
[00:53] <manlymatt83> sebsebseb: will 10.04/10.10 run slower than 9.04 on my T42?
[00:53] <mechdave> sebsebseb, I have him trying 10.04, just showing him docs for partitioning from 7.04 so he can get an idea of what is going on
[00:53] <joshac1> any ideas
[00:53] <drizzt_> manlymatt83, definitely
[00:53] <cletus> Guided install refers to the pictures eh?
[00:53] <Spenc0r> ;x
[00:53] <sebsebseb> manlymatt83: 10.04 boots faster, but thats about the only proper advantage it has over 9.04 really
[00:53] <manlymatt83> drizzt_: so time to get a new laptop? :)
[00:53] <mechdave> sebsebseb, I have also shown him the install guide for 10.04
[00:53] <manlymatt83> got it...
[00:53] <joshac1> i just want to install a theme i get but i cant i tried to turn on the desktop effects but dosnt work tried also install desktop effects but sais command not found
[00:53] <Spenc0r> lol 10.04 boots slower for me x.x
[00:53] <manlymatt83> so you guys wouldn't recommend a 10.04 upgrade on a T42?
[00:53] <drizzt_> cletus, no, guided install will remove all partitions and create / and swap ones
[00:54] <cletus> hmm
[00:54] <britany_okla> Spenc0e doesnt seem to be slower for me
[00:54] <manlymatt83> I need a new laptop.  I'm a big fan of the T42 but it's quite heavy.  Any recommendations? :) Any IBM/Lenovo laptop fans here?
[00:54] <nUboon2Age> mechdave: thanks!  I went to the ralink site to get rt3070 drivers and all I could find was source.  Any ideas where I could find prebuilt driver?
[00:54] <sebsebseb> manlymatt83: how old is the computer? and you said you got 1GB RAM, actsaul old computers come with  much less then that
[00:54] <Kamilion> manlymatt83: Had a T42; just swapped out the CPU to a newer C2D chip till I got rid of it for my new dell latitude e6520.
[00:54] <sebsebseb> britany_okla: ah right yeah Flash
[00:54] <ZykoticK9> joshac1, ask in the #backtrack-linux support channel
[00:54] <drizzt_> cletus, that's default option anyway
[00:54] <sebsebseb> britany_okla: ok what is the problem exactly with Flash?
[00:54] <rottenrec> is the "shutdown" button in Gnome suppose to shutdown the computer or just take you to the login screen?
[00:54] <Spenc0r> 4/5 mins and on a bad day it took 7 mins although i guess i need a new laptop Lol but is there a way of speeding it up ?
[00:54] <vic20gmr_[lucid]> drizzt_: it will allow me to tell it to ignor crc err?
[00:54] <manlymatt83> sebsebseb: it's at least 6 years old I think
[00:54] <mechdave> cletus, make sure you select the second partition for a guided install otherwise windows will dissapear :(
[00:54] <blue_anna> how can I get around dependency issues from having too recent of a version of a package (off of launchpad)
[00:54] <blue_anna>   libxmu-dev: Depends: libxmu-headers (= 2:1.0.5-1) but 2:1.0.5+git20100604.af962b3b-0ubuntu0sarvatt~lucid is to be installed
[00:55] <mechdave> nUboon2Age, the RALINK drivers need to be compiled as far as I'm aware
[00:55] <cletus> @mechdave the hard drive im installing on is old and ive backed up everything I need. So I can write over that copy of windows since my master holds the copy i use now, correct?
[00:55] <userone> anyone know how to change permissions of an ext4 external usb hdd?
[00:55] <Kamilion> blue_anna: I think there's an ignore-deps flag or something you might be able to use to force the package to install after you manually satisfy the dependancies.
[00:55] <sebsebseb> manlymatt83: 9.04 will even get a proper upgrade to Firefox soon, but also 8.04, and 9.10, so yeah not much of a reason to upgrade in your case I think, when still supported
[00:55] <blue_anna> -m doesn't work :S
[00:55] <britany_okla> sebsebseb doesn't seem to want to work with my facebook apps currently in process of reinstalling it
[00:55] <drizzt_> vic20gmr_[lucid], it should with -kb switch; doesn't work for solid archives!
[00:55] <ZykoticK9> userone, typically you'd change the permissions on the mount point not the drive
[00:56] <drizzt_> vic20gmr_[lucid], actually it does, but everything after corrupted part will  be lost
[00:56] <manlymatt83> ok, thanks!
[00:56] <Kamilion> sebsebseb: Didn't I read not too long ago that they'll be releasing 3.6.3 for 8.X+ from security.ubuntu.com?
[00:56] <mechdave> cletus, I am always paranoid about overwriting something that I don't want overwritten
[00:56] <cletus> true...
[00:56] <keystone> what ubuntu disro is best for older laptops 9.10 eats bateries 10.04 even worse i was wondering if maybee 7 or 8 would extend batery life
[00:56] <nUboon2Age> mechdave: Thanks.  Not the answer i want, but appreciated.  :)
[00:56] <Spenc0r> oop that reminds me sometimes gnome crashes then trys to restart x or something but just flashes then fails
[00:57] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2010-June/000719.html
[00:57] <cletus> So I need to squash down the harddrive in partition just in case
[00:57] <Docteh> keystone: try a lighter desktop environment, also are you throttling down the cpu?
[00:57] <Kamilion> keystone: 7 or 8 have much poorer power management code; you might try xubuntu or one of the lxde derived ones.
[00:57] <sebsebseb> keystone: sadly 8.10 is no longer supported, but 8.04 is still supported untill the end of April next year on the desktop
[00:57] <userone> ZykoticK9: I just reformatted the hdd to ext4, then changed the volume label to freecom_120gb. when I plugged the hdd back in, it was automatically mounted,  I can read but not write to it. do i need to change the mount point infstab?
[00:58] <blue_anna> or how can I tell which source is providing the offending edge library?:  libxmu-dev: Depends: libxmu-headers (= 2:1.0.5-1) but 2:1.0.5+git20100604.af962b3b-0ubuntu0sarvatt~lucid is to be installed
[00:58] <Kamilion> keystone: You might give Mint a shot; sometimes it runs a bit better.
[00:58] <keystone> IM USEING POWERTOP to no avail
[00:58] <sebsebseb> keystone: also maybe you just simpally need something more lite waight, for stuff to work better such as LXDE/Lubuntu
[00:58] <Docteh> keystone: changing the cpufreq governor to conservative did wonders to my eeepc
[00:58] <sebsebseb> !lubuntu | keystone
[00:58] <ZykoticK9> userone, you can just change the permission on the mount point to "sudo ugo+rw /where/it's/mounted" and it 'should' work
[00:58] <mechdave> nUboon2Age, no worries, they work ok tho!!
[00:59] <Docteh> keystone: does powertop even check cpufreq?
[00:59] <keystone> i also have hypertheding turned off
[00:59] <wombatman> Anyone know what "better" solution they plan to add to amarok2 for the features that were previously provided by musicbrainz?
[00:59] <sebsebseb> britany_okla: ok  got Flash re installed now?
[00:59] <Spenc0r> >.>
[00:59] <keystone> cstat
[00:59] <Kamilion> keystone: How old is the laptop?
[00:59] <britany_okla> nope still waiting on it sebsebseb
[01:00] <keystone> it was new in 04 i think
[01:00] <Kamilion> keystone: Lithium ion batteries only have a life of about 2 years if they're ran warm.
[01:00] <sebsebseb> britany_okla: actsauly remove Flash and then re install, yeah
[01:00] <keystone> i have new battery
[01:00] <wombatman> I finally got over my love of libvisual and decided to move on to amarok 2 but they still need to bring back some of my old favorite features
[01:00] <Spenc0r> is there an program or, command to make ubuntu boot up faster or do i just have to put up with it?
[01:00] <Kamilion> keystone: Ah, okay then.
[01:01] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: which version?
[01:01] <Kamilion> Spenc0r: There are many; But it depends on your existing configuration.
[01:01] <britany_okla> sebsebseb trying to it seems stuck at 82% remove
[01:01] <Spenc0r> 10.04 its only recently got slow
[01:01] <Spenc0r> like 4/5 mins
[01:01] <keystone> im lucky to get 1 1/2 hour normal use web surf , email
[01:01] <britany_okla> not sure why sebsebseb
[01:01] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: yeah Plymouth issue I guess or something
[01:01] <Kamilion> Spenc0r: For example; I had mysql starting up; once I shut it off my boot time was much quicker.
[01:01] <blue_anna> how can I figure out which sources provide which versions of a package?
[01:01] <Spenc0r> hmm
[01:01] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: yeah see the graphical boot up yeah?
[01:01] <keystone> no dvds
[01:01] <sebsebseb> you not yeah above
[01:01] <Spenc0r> yea
[01:01] <Kamilion> blue_anna: synaptic has a nice "by origin" filter.
[01:01] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: ok thats a bit I guess its a bit buggy really in 10.04
[01:02] <Spenc0r> ah
[01:02] <blue_anna> Kamilion, thanks
[01:02] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: a theme might even crash and that kind of thing
[01:02] <keystone> when new i it was more like 3 or 4 hours
[01:02] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: doesn't work properly with propritary Nivdia graphics card driver and so on
[01:02] <Spenc0r> ah is there like just a console boot? or is it just graphic boot.
[01:02] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: yes easy to set up a text boot
[01:02] <Kamilion> Spenc0r: remove "splash" from your kernel line.
[01:02] <Spenc0r> ah
[01:03] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: uh i'll give him the proper thing
[01:03] <Kamilion> heh, yeah, listen to sebsebseb.
[01:03] <Spenc0r> Also gnome crashes trys to boot back up then,
[01:03] <drizzt_> is it possible to remove gtk engines that come with desktop?
[01:03] <Spenc0r> il remove splash in a bit
[01:03] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: Gnome isn't meant to crash
[01:03] <keystone> probly just old i think the cooling system seems to run alot more
[01:03] <Spenc0r> er,
[01:03] <Kamilion> "The easiest way to get correct information on the internet is to post incorrect information and wait for someone to correct you"
[01:03] <Spenc0r> x or something
[01:03] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: maybe user account has gone wrong a bit
[01:03] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: ok  uhmm that would explain stuff then
[01:04] <keystone> fans alwase kicking in juicing the batery
[01:04] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: if you got xorg crashing, then things aren't going to work proeprly
[01:04] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: since it controls all the graphical stuff
[01:04] <Spenc0r> sorry yea, i have a quite a few things going wrong. and oh i see.
[01:04] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: well Gnome and such
[01:04] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: plymouth is seperate, but doing a text boot for that, could also help to speed things up a bit
[01:05] <Kamilion> Oh, you mean switching to the plymouth text theme?
[01:05] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: clean install? upgrade?
[01:05] <Spenc0r> Fatal server error:
[01:05] <Spenc0r> Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error
[01:05] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: no
[01:05] <Spenc0r> i might do
[01:05] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: I mean actsaully disabling Plymouth and having a text boot
[01:05] <Spenc0r> but i think it maybe my laptop is useless.
[01:05] <Kamilion> ah.
[01:05] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: well Plymouth itself has to stay since bundled into ubuntu-desktop, but you'll see what I mean in a bit, like Spenc0r will
[01:07] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: Spenc0r  so if this is a done there won't be a boot up theme, and there will be a text boot instead. remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub
[01:07] <Kamilion> sebsebseb: Aye, good thing I've got channel logging on and my google notebook open and ready to C&P notes
[01:07] <sebsebseb> !logs | Kamilion
[01:07] <Spenc0r> okay, brb
[01:07] <sebsebseb> Kamilion: Google sell notebooks ?
[01:08] <sebsebseb> remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub
[01:08] <nerdy_kid> how would i go about encypting my home folder so that there is a .Private folder that gets mounted when i login (with my home contents inside the .Private folder)
[01:08] <Kamilion> sebsebseb: Nice web-based note system; but they stopped development and no signups are allowed anymore :(
[01:08] <boxbeatsy> hi guys, i'm having trouble adding a new user with admin privileges ot my EC2 instance.  AFter I do adduser <username>, I log out and try to log back in via ssh, but I get : "Permission denied (publickey)
[01:08] <keystone> sebsebseb:linux netbooks are good deal!
[01:08] <Spenc0r> oh here is the x error thing
[01:08] <Spenc0r> Fatal server error:
[01:08] <Spenc0r> Failed to submit batchbuffer: Input/output error
[01:08] <sebsebseb> nerdy_kid: uhmm don't do that, unless you have a proper reason to,  encrypted Ubuntu homes, really can go wrong on people at times
[01:08] <sebsebseb> nerdy_kid: like when they are re installing Ubuntu, or upgrading or something
[01:08] <boxbeatsy> anybody have an idea of what i'm doing wrong.  this is my first sysadmin experience
[01:08] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I can help with that
[01:09] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: xorg is not fun to play around with trying to fix issues
[01:09] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: well I guess for some people it is
[01:09] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy:  just to check, you are doing all this over ssh on a remote box?
[01:09] <sebsebseb> !xorg | Spenc0r
[01:09] <boxbeatsy> yup
[01:09] <nerdy_kid> sebsebseb ah yeah your prob right...alright :)  ill stick with with a .Private folder that doesnt have my home contents in it if i need it :)
[01:09] <userone> ZykoticK9: done..thanks
[01:09] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_:  awesome :].  i first used ssh -i blah.pem root@xx.xxx.xxx.xx.com, which worked
[01:09] <keystone> xorg is simple just back it up firs
[01:09] <Spenc0r> one thing i can say
[01:09] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: then i did adduser <username>, logged out, and then retired by replacing root with <username>
[01:09] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: you should not allow root to ssh in
[01:10] <Spenc0r> since i moved to ubuntu
[01:10] <carl-m_> but that is a separate issue
[01:10] <Spenc0r> i have managed to use my computer for more than an hour a time.
[01:10] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: clean install or upgrade for 10.04?  maybe should just clean install,  unless keystone or someone like that has better ideas etc
[01:10] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: OK. log back in as root, however you did it
[01:10] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: i see ok, done
[01:10] <carl-m_> now "su <username>" to become that user
[01:10] <carl-m_> we need to set up an ssh key
[01:11] <Spenc0r> yea i think i will just mooch a new laptop and install it on that, but thanks guys.
[01:11] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: ok done
[01:11] <carl-m_> although I am not used to setting up .pem keys, only rsa keys
[01:11] <Spenc0r> i know what to do if it annoys me or gets me in trouble at uni again.
[01:11] <paraintj> Anyone good at installing sound drivers for weird sound card companies that don't release the source like they should... for us they're loyal customers?
[01:11] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: do i need to grant my username sudo privileges?
[01:11] <carl-m_> aeventually, but we can get to that
[01:11] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: "the installation instructison say to add it to admin group, but it says there's no such group"
[01:11] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: uh getting a new lap top?
[01:11] <carl-m_> that will not help with your inability to log in
[01:12] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: mmk
[01:12] <knightly> Hey question for someone... Anyone know how I can find/get my current drivers for the current working wifi card attached? I have NDISWRAPPER but no drivers installed however the wifi card "just works". I need to find "how/why" it works so I can copy the files to another version of ubuntu where it doesn't work. Thanks for any answers.
[01:12] <Spenc0r> im going to try to get a grant or something or just uh, sweet talk my parents
[01:12] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: uhmm lap tops are useualy the ones that get issues
[01:12] <Spenc0r> ah
[01:12] <keystone> spenc0r :copy and past xorg from live disk to it knopix has a very good xorg file
[01:12] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: so  good idea to make sure your buying supported hardware
[01:12] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: otherwise may get wireless or sound issues for example
[01:12] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I want to double-check something. on the box you are SSHing _from_, run ssh again with the -v option
[01:12] <sebsebseb> !hardware | Spenc0r
[01:13] <Spenc0r> ah i see yea thats one thing 10.04 has fixed for me the sound its perfect.  but thanks guys, is there a list or a shop or something that sells ubuntu laptops, already installed?
[01:13] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: also there are companies that sell pre installed Ubuntu lap tops even, in fact Dell is one of them
[01:13] <Spenc0r> OH,
[01:13] <Spenc0r> snap.
[01:13] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: I get OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19
[01:13] <jasilman> can anyone tell me how to restore the volume control on the top panel... I somehow lost it
[01:13] <NeoCicak> hi all.... i'm trying to install lucid on a new pc with RAID 0 (mirroring).... but the installation failed, saying something along "creation of ext4 partition failed .....(mirror)"... any idea on how to fix this?
[01:13] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: in other words shock?
[01:13] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I mean the whole command, along with -v, so you get debugging output
[01:13] <knightly> anyone know what folder your wifi drivers are stored?
[01:14] <Spenc0r> yea, fast answer plus im not good with english, but yea!
[01:14] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: oh your  typing the asking, whilst I am already typing the reply :D
[01:14] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: ok where you from?
[01:14] <Spenc0r> oh im living in the uk but im not from here
[01:14] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: ok done
[01:15] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: ok
[01:15] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: hrm
[01:15] <carl-m_> do you see something near the end like 'debug1: Trying private key ...'
[01:15] <Spenc0r> but im only talking english typing  :) lol. im french but i kinda want to just talk english. weird?
[01:15] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: yup
[01:15] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: Trying private key: typhoonae.pem
[01:15] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: system76 is out, since thats USA and Canada,  zareason (http://www.zareason.com ) I think got to buy on the maindland of Europe or something silly like that.   Dell is probably still in.
[01:16] <carl-m_> OK, good> I wanted to make sure it was getting that far
[01:16] <sebsebseb> Spenc0r: http://www.dell.com/ubuntu
[01:16] <Spenc0r> hm i will have a look see, thank you.
[01:16] <sebsebseb> or maybe dell.co.uk/ubuntu
[01:16] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: so on the remote machine, as the user you want to ssh to, you need to first "mkdir .ssh"
[01:17] <carl-m_> then you need to edit .ssh/authorized_keys
[01:17] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: so, in the end, what i need is a user with root privileges so that i can install this server package.  i dont necessarily need to ssh in.  i could ssh in as root and then su <username>.  ijust had no idea i could do su<username> heh
[01:17] <AntraxCol> hi does any one know what kind of softphone works correctly into ubuntu hardy?
[01:17] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: am i misleading you by saying i need ssh access?
[01:17] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: i guess if im not supposed to ssh in as root this is necessary too?
[01:18] <cheche> Hi, I have a problem with autologon on a standard system.  /etc/gdm/custom.conf Looks fine. It has been working on 8.04 with no problems
[01:18] <drizzt_> how to edit filetype associations?
[01:18] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: if you can ssh in as root, you have a user with root privleges, namely "root" himself
[01:18] <Kamilion> Hey, should I be using sudo -s?
[01:18] <cletus> TIMMAH
[01:18] <___a> hello
[01:18] <Kamilion> er, I mean
[01:18] <neezer> I have Lucid and an SSD drive that supports trim. what do I need to do to get trim working? I've read that I need to update my kernel in order to get trim going. I have no idea how to do this.
[01:18] <Kamilion> should I be using sudo -s or su - ?
[01:18] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: the thing is when i install the server, i am getting error messages like "can't run as root without the -u switch"
[01:18] <cheche> Kamilion: sudo
[01:19] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, It is not recommended to have a machine that allows root ssh... Massive security hole!!
[01:19] <topdownjimmy> drizzt_ : right click on a file of the type whose association you want to change, click "Properties," then choose the "Open With" tab
[01:19] <Kamilion> cheche: Good, that's what I have been using for a while now.
[01:19] <RelievedSimpleto> hey, how can i install ubuntu server to a hard drive on a via 6421 based sata card?
[01:19] <Kamilion> cheche: Thanks!
[01:19] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: mechdave i guess right now i just want to get this working to see if it will work first
[01:19] <topdownjimmy> Is there documentation somewhere for the rationale behind the switch from F-Spot to Shotwell?
[01:19] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I see. this is probably because the software doesn't _want_ to run as root. try running it after you su to your new non-root username and see if that fixes things
[01:19] <drizzt_> and more precisely? because a certain app set itself to open All unknown documents
[01:20] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: im trying atm, but it wont even let me cd or ls when im in the new username :(
[01:20] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: should i just sudo everything?
[01:20] <spartan_work> my work pc is running win7. How can I connect to my work pc from home with ubuntu?
[01:20] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: yea i cant sudo cd for some reason "cd: comand not found"
[01:20] <Benkinooby> hi, how can i checkt if my graphic driver/xorg server is seet up correctly? the point is, that i can play openarena and other 3D apps without problems (at low res) but sometimes, fluxbox fails to run fluently. (eg. pdf-viewer window follows my mouse when moving it with a 1 second delay)
[01:20] <carl-m_> that's very strange. but if you are root already you do not need to use sudo
[01:21] <boxbeatsy> o i'm not.  i did su <username> so i'm currently username
[01:21] <Black_Phantom> Benkinooby, try glxgears
[01:21] <Black_Phantom> Benkinooby, terminal > glxgears
[01:21] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: I have no idea how the "cd" command could not be found
[01:21] <Kamilion> boxbeatsy: try "su - <username>" to spawn a full login shell
[01:21] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, you can actually sudo to root terminal if you are careful, note: this can destroy your system if you do the wrong thing... sudo su will give you a root terminal
[01:22] <AntraxCol> x-lite doesn't work in my ubuntu hardy, what can i do?
[01:22] <carl-m_> mechdave: he is already root, I think
[01:22] <boxbeatsy> ok i just went to the application folder in root and then did su <username> and it looks like im ok.  let me try running it now
[01:22] <Gryllida> How do I turn font smoothing in Firefox? I turned it off in the OS and rebooted but it still isn't gone in Firefox..
[01:22] <wildbat> mechdave,boxbeatsy, use sudo -i or -s
[01:23] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, so you ssh in as root and then su to non privileged user?
[01:23] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: you may run into problems if folders are not owned by the non-root user. you can do a 'chown -R <username> <folder>' to change the ownership if you need to
[01:24] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, you may need to ssh in as non privileged user then sudo to root
[01:24] <jasilman> I have lost the volume control icon on top panel near clock... how can I restore it? ubuntu 10.04
[01:24] <carl-m_> that's the way things are supposed to be - usually the ssh server explicitly forbids sshing as root
[01:25] <outer_space> how do you find out what compile options were used if you want to recompile something from source?
[01:25] <carl-m_> outer_space: if it's a ubuntu package, you can look at the source package
[01:25] <biff_> outer_space: ./configure --help
[01:25] <Gryllida> hello?
[01:26] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: hi
[01:26] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: How do I turn font smoothing in Firefox? I turned it off in the OS and rebooted but it still isn't gone in Firefox..
[01:26] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: not sure what you mean
[01:26] <Gryllida> turn off*
[01:26] <outer_space> i know, but how did ubuntu use ./configure when it installed first
[01:26] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: source packages may not work with that
[01:26] <outer_space> it must be compiled with the same options
[01:26] <Charliehorse> major help --- i have a grub error 15 problem
[01:27] <carl-m_> outer_space: you can ust "apt-get source <package>" and then examine the file debian/rules to see how the package is built
[01:27] <carl-m_> but it is not a simple matter, it takes some experience
[01:27] <Charliehorse> i have a 10.04 live cd booted now, but i cant seem to get the grub to be repaired
[01:27] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: i'm confused :( it's saying it cant find modules when im logged in as the new user and running the commands)
[01:27] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: http://picasaweb.google.com/Gryllida/UntitledAlbum#5480527077050062530 -- the top one is in Firefox
[01:27] <boxbeatsy> boxbeatsy: but when i run the comands as root it's fine
[01:27] <outer_space> ok I'll look for debian/rules
[01:28] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: should i jsut reinsatll the entire package under my new user?
[01:28] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: I want to have font smoothing off and hinting on, this setting took effect for the OS but not for Firefox
[01:28] <olskolirc> how do I install a tarball when "make" gives me "make stop" and "make install" gives me make stop or stop please?
[01:28] <carl-m_> that may fix it. not knowing what package it is, or any other details, I can't help so much. I _can_ get you logged in as a non-root user, but that's about the limit of it
[01:28] <Callum__> Charliehorse: you sure the boot order in the BIOS is correct?
[01:29] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, what are you trying to install?
[01:29] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: ok lemme try.  thank YOu for the help
[01:29] <carl-m_> olskolirc: I'm sure it depends on the exact package and how the makefile is written
[01:29] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: carl-m_ i'mt trying to install a proejct called TyphoonAE
[01:29] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: carl-m_ it's to port GAE applications over to EC2
[01:29] <spartan_work> anyone know of a way to connect to a windblows pc with ubuntu?
[01:29] <Gryllida> spartan_work: places > network
[01:29] <carl-m_> spartan_work: connect in what way? ping?
[01:29] <outer_space> how do you apply a debian/rules to compile?
[01:29] <IdleOne> !samba | spartan_work and it is spelled Windows
[01:29] <nixiepixel> Hello, I am trying to follow the instructions in the comprehensive multimedia guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 But I am getting the error "Couldn't find package ia32-sun-java6-bin" even though I have multiverse and universe in my sources.list
[01:30] <olskolirc> there is no makefile carl-m_ just Makefile.am Makefile.in Makefile.mingw
[01:30] <biff_> spartan_work: tcp or windows share?
[01:30] <carl-m_> outer_space: in the top directory, run "./debian/rules build"
[01:30] <IdleOne> spartan_work: sorry that samba info was incorrect
[01:30] <carl-m_> outer_space: run ./configure
[01:30] <olskolirc> purple-plugin_pack-2.6.3 won't make
[01:30] <spartan_work> somehting like gotomypc
[01:30] <spartan_work> but for linux
[01:30] <spartan_work> I wouldnt even mind a commanline but it would be over the net
[01:31] <biff_> i don't know what is gotomypc
[01:31] <Gryllida> !info gotomypc
[01:31] <Gryllida> umm
[01:31] <IdleOne> !vnc | spartan_work
[01:31] <dum> i'm trying to get best server as my software source, but i get a 'No suitable download server was found'
[01:31] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: any suggestions?
[01:31] <keystone> what is typhoona.pem
[01:31] <pebcac> @jasilman: to add the sound icon back to the panel, click on System -> Preferneces then right-click on Sound and choose "Add to panel"
[01:31] <Charliehorse> Callum_: I think so, I haven't changed it since it worked. Just installed 10.04 (upgrade from 9.10), was working fine for a while before it randomly stopped
[01:31] <dum> any idea why this could be?
[01:31] <spartan_work> ok, thanks!!
[01:32] <jasilman> ah thank you pebcac
[01:32] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, this is Google web apps server?
[01:32] <dum> by the way.. i have an active internet connection
[01:32] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: Google App Engine
[01:32] <Charliehorse> Callum_: i removed a hard drive (not my main one) while it was running but I accidentally pulled out the power cord to my main linux HD. (Yikes!) now it wont boot
[01:32] <Charliehorse> the funny thing is
[01:32] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: carl-m_ doh, everything is much simpler when i'm in my user's home directoyr.  from before iw as working in /root
[01:32] <pebcac> @jasilman: np
[01:33] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: thats a screenshot of Abiword or something
[01:33] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, Ok you need to install this as super user from your home dir
[01:33] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: yeah of Abiword
[01:33] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: the top one is how it looks in Firefox
[01:33] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: I don't want the smoothing
[01:33] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: it looks ok in abiword
[01:33] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: ok, is my new user a super user if i added them in /etc/sudoers along with root?
[01:33] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: I don't know what you mean even etc, so can't help
[01:33] <dum> i'm trying to get best server as my software source, but i get a 'No suitable download server was found'. But I have an active internet connection
[01:33] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: uh
[01:34] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, so ssh in as normal user, unpack your sources and then use sudo in front of all commands to install
[01:34] <jasilman> well it's there but it isn't the same as it was before
[01:34] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: oops, i've started insatlling without using sudo in front, but its still letting me.  is that gonna be aproblem?
[01:34] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, see this page for install --> http://code.google.com/p/typhoonae/wiki/GettingStarted?tm=6
[01:35] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: ya i followed those pages and got it insatlled under root, but im getting an error because the server doesnt want to run as root
[01:35] <judgen> How do i enable the x-chat systray icon?
[01:35] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, just means it may only be accessable to your user that you built it as or maybe it may even fail in install
[01:35] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: so now im redoing it as a new user that i granted ALL privileges in /etc/sudoers.  does that sound right?
[01:35] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, yeah
[01:35] <mechdave> boxbeatsy, give it a go
[01:35] <boxbeatsy> mechdave: ok thanks!
[01:36] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: thank you
[01:36] <outer_space> it doesnt let you use debian/rules even as root, you have to use apt-get --compile source
[01:36] <carl-m_> outer_space: I see. may depend on the package
[01:36] <outer_space> apt-get does everything easily
[01:38] <biff_> outer_space: no, you just need type debian/rules configure
[01:39] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: http://imagebin.ca/img/GcBESuME.png
[01:40] <dum> i'm using ubuntu 9.10 and will like to upgrade to 10.04 but update manager does not show it as available
[01:41] <ubuntu> i want to let you know that the decision not to inform the user of how much of a specific operation is done per gparted is very annoying and i expect better from my linux applications.
[01:41] <guillermo__> hello i am in ubuntu 9.10 i made the modifications so LMMS could use the ALSA driver and it sounds now but now the volume applet doesn't work at all
[01:41] <guillermo__> and my volume is somewhere in the middle value
[01:43] <ubuntu> it would be very nice when resizing  a partition to know when i will be done with such a operation rather than be forced to sit here not knowing how long i am stuck
[01:43] <ubuntu> here
[01:44] <guillermo__> installed aumix
[01:44] <guillermo__> and it can change the volume well
[01:44] <ubuntu> as far i could infer from the current output from gparted, it could have just frozen, this is a very dangerous (for someones data) aspect of the user interface and it should be fixed
[01:45] <ubuntu> so i would i tell that gparted is still doing what i asked
[01:45] <ubuntu> the user interface is telling me nothing new. no progress meter, nothing (how dumb is that)
[01:48] <biff_> I need X mp3/ogg player which don't need half of gnome
[01:48] <carl-m_> mplayer?
[01:49] <biff_> X
[01:49] <pebcac> @dum: try this link, they walk you through the upgrade: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala-to-10.04-lucid-lynx-desktop-and-server
[01:50] <carl-m_> biff_: I read a quote once that X windows was desigend to run three programs: xterm, xlogo, and one more that I have forgotten. certainly mplayer will work in xterm
[01:50] <opnet> hey guys, I found a wifi nic in my other laptop, and so I stuck it into my netbook hoping to have two wifi nic's (just for fun) but it's not recognized
[01:51] <biff_> carl-m_: I need nice X player with GUI
[01:51] <drizzt_> ubuntu, multitheading is linux' weak spot
[01:51] <carl-m_> have you tried xmms or a clone like audacious ?
[01:52] <dum> @pebcac: my update manager does not show that new release is available
[01:52] <FatsDT> How do I tell x to use the vesa driver instead of the intel driver?
[01:53] <biff_> FatsDT: X --configure, next copy xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, change driver to vesa
[01:53] <biff_> no, X -configure
[01:53] <carl-m_> biff_: this is the article I was referring to : http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/unix-haters/x-windows/disaster.html
[01:53] <ubuntu> so this puts me a interesting position, if i try and and quit the application i corrupt my data but know the application has not crashed. how do i get a idea if gparted is still working?????? since i have NO PROGRESS METER
[01:54] <drizzt_> ubuntu, submit a bug
[01:54] <pebcac> @dum: on that same page, down 3/4 of the way, they have the command line guide on how to do the same thing. My quess is that you're missing the 'update-manager-core'. Try doing the steps using the command line steps
[01:54] <M4rotku> hey guys.  i'm installing ubuntu and gentoo alongside one another.  would it be a good idea to share a home directory between the two of them?  if my user name is the same on both, will they use the same config files?  and which system should I let handle the grub configuration?  thank you for any answers/help
[01:54] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: did you get the image? http://imagebin.ca/img/GcBESuME.png I want to disable font smoothing in firefox
[01:54] <biff_> carl-m_: funny
[01:54] <opnet> hey guys, I found a wifi nic in my other laptop, and so I stuck it into my netbook hoping to have two wifi nic's (just for fun) but it's not recognized
[01:55] <fqhuy> Hi, I'm using Evolution
[01:55] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: I don't know what you mean by font smoothing, maybe you want to instal Windows fonts I don't know
[01:55] <sebsebseb> !fonts | Gryllida
[01:55] <Gryllida> no
[01:55] <fqhuy> I want to make a calendar for my classes
[01:55] <ubuntu> this is the kind of annoying crap i expect from microsoft software, this behavior needs to change,  otherwise there is no incentive to use linux if the applications are just as dumb as their windows counterparts
[01:55] <fqhuy> which type of info should I choose
[01:55] <fqhuy> Appointment, event, task ?
[01:56] <drizzt_> ubuntu, microsoft software wouldn't behave like this, because windows was multithreaded from the beginning
[01:56] <k0d3g3ar> ubuntu, are you confusing Ubuntu with one application running on it?
[01:56] <carl-m_> ubuntu: (1) many traditional UNIX programs give no output unless there is an error (2) the Ubuntu distribution seems to go out of its way to reduce "confusing" messages, like telling me what files are downloaded by the package manager. between the two, you are chasing windmills
[01:57] <drizzt_> ubuntu, installer just spawns child process and wait for it to end
[01:57] <mechdave_> drizzt_, so is linux software multithreaded
[01:57] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: system > preferences > appearance > fonts > details : I've turned hinting on and smoothing off, but Firefox still renders everything with smoothing (even after a reboot)
[01:57] <drizzt_> mechdave_, only selected apps
[01:58] <Serpentinex> When I write a terminal app. How do I replicate system."pause" and system."cls"
[01:58] <k0d3g3ar> Serpentinex, cls = clear
[01:58] <Serpentinex> system doesnt work when I write for terminal
[01:58] <drizzt_> Serpentinex, take that string from terminal strings
[01:59] <carl-m_> Serpentinex: what language are you writing in? by pause do you mean the pause key?
[01:59] <Serpentinex> c++
[01:59] <drizzt_> there's a string which clears the screen
[01:59] <boxbeatsy> hey guys, how do i add full root control to a user?  so far i've aded <username ALl=(ALL) ALL in /etc/sudoers but im still not granted full access
[01:59] <carl-m_> system("clear"); works fine in C and C++
[01:59] <k0d3g3ar> Serpentinex, oh, I thought you were talking shell scripting
[01:59] <Serpentinex> no terminal
[01:59] <carl-m_> you can use a terminal library but it's overkill if that's all you need to do
[01:59] <drizzt_> OMG you should not fork a process to clear the screen!
[01:59] <biff_> boxbeatsy: @ default account you just need type "sudo bash"
[02:00] <drizzt_> *spawn
[02:00] <dayrot> Can someone tell me why I can't mount smb shares?
[02:00] <boxbeatsy> biff_: i actuallyneed to be using the new user account to install the files
[02:00] <rsr> hello
[02:00] <Gryllida> hi
[02:00] <dum> pebcac: do-release-upgrade Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found
[02:00] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, yes
[02:00]  * ubuntu is informing the gparted developers how stupid their user interface is 
[02:00] <carl-m_> ubuntu: what makes you think any of them is here?
[02:01] <drizzt_> ubuntu, file a bug in ubiquity
[02:01] <rsr> My icons switched to those old gnome icons and now no matter what Icon set I choose the icons stay the same. Has anyone else had this issue?
[02:01] <boxbeatsy> mechdave_: is there nething i need to do besides adding the username to etc/sudoers?
[02:01] <carl-m_> dayrot: what problem do you get?
[02:01] <drizzt_> there;s a chance someone fix it in 2020 or so
[02:02] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, All I would do is add the new user, make sure they can sudo (add them to /etc/sudoers) and then compile and install your server
[02:02] <M4rotku> hey guys.  i'm installing ubuntu and gentoo alongside one another.  would it be a good idea to share a home directory between the two of them?  if my user name is the same on both, will they use the same config files?  and which system should I let handle the grub configuration?  thank you for any answers/help
[02:02] <boxbeatsy> mechdave_: mmk, i dont need to add sudo before every ocmmmand once i add them to sudoers right?
[02:02] <pebcac> @dum: just to confirm, you're on version 9.10 and want to go to version 10.04. You've tried following both the gui and cli steps at http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-9.10-karmic-koala-to-10.04-lucid-lynx-desktop-and-server and neither methods work. Is all of that correct so far?
[02:02] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: you still need to
[02:02] <drizzt_> *OT* is a Hardy DVD for $8 a good buy? (USD ones)
[02:03] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: crap >_<
[02:03] <carl-m_> M4rotku: whould be fine as long as you have the same numeric userid on both
[02:03] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, I use sudo b4 every command
[02:03] <carl-m_> boxbeatsy: only when you want to run things as root
[02:03] <Serpentinex> i dont have a volume thing anymore
[02:03] <Serpentinex> how do i add it?
[02:03] <dum> yep.. either shows that there is an available new release
[02:03] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: o wait, but i want to insatll the server as my current user
[02:03] <boxbeatsy> carl-m_: so i woudlnt want to use sudo right?
[02:03] <dayrot> carl-m_ Well, for some shares it works, but most it says a vague "Unable to mount location. Failed to mount windows share"
[02:03] <boxbeatsy> or does sudo just give root provileges and install as current user
[02:04] <dum> pedcac: yep.. either shows that there is an available new release
[02:04] <drizzt_> boxbeatsy, sudo is emulating user's environment for root user
[02:04] <M4rotku> carl-m, is that an intuitive/easy thing to set.  will i be able to figure it out easily enough when installing.  if i remember correctly, then they should be the same by default since it's the first user on each system, right?
[02:04] <dum> @pebcac: yep.. either shows that there is an available new release
[02:04] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, the other thing I just thought of is maybe just install the server as a non priv user so there is less of a security issue, and just allow it to use the port that is required. Then there is less chance of it being cracked
[02:04] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: I've already asked firefox live chat support, they said it's not a firefox issue
[02:04] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: not sure what your on about, but
[02:04] <sebsebseb> Gryllida: with the default theme in 10.04, Firefox does look ugly really
[02:05] <pebcac> @dum: when you did 'vi /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades' what value did you get for the line that listed 'Prompt'?
[02:05] <drizzt_> boxbeatsy, and all servers should run as separate users with limited privileges
[02:05] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: ask if you don't understand! I've disabled font smoothing everywhere but Firefox ignores it.. this is the problem
[02:05] <carl-m_> M4rotku: first user will probably be 1000 on both systems
[02:05] <boxbeatsy> hmmm ok
[02:06] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: it happens with any firefox theme, this is font issue
[02:06] <mechdave_> boxbeatsy, maybe just build the thing without sudo and run it from the users home directory
[02:06] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: and with any OS theme too
[02:06] <carl-m_> dayrot: do you have "keyutils" installed?
[02:06] <M4rotku> carl-m, thanks
[02:06] <boxbeatsy> mechdave_: that's what im doing now, but im gonna start up another instance and try your previous suggesiotn
[02:06] <dayrot> checking
[02:06] <Gryllida> sebsebseb: I'm out of ideas why it could happen, even rebooted several times
[02:07] <drizzt_> M4rotku, use 'ls -ln /home' to fing out which user you should to create
[02:07] <carl-m_> dayrot: that's my only suggestion - I have had problems when that was not installed
[02:07] <con-man> how do I force a remove and reinstall of hardware device like you would from the device manager?
[02:07] <cxo> I'm on 10.04 and my system keeps freezing every few minutes for about 30s at a time. Its really annoying. Nothing happening in dmesg. I'm installation is on RAID + LVM + EXT4
[02:07] <racerd> anyone use ssh?
[02:07] <Gryllida> !ssh | racerd
[02:07] <Tyril> I am a super non technical user. My Music Box stopped downloading album art. I know it's a stupid problem. Any ideas?
[02:07] <dcamp25> ssh yes
[02:07] <Gryllida> Tyril, does a reboot fix it?
[02:08] <drizzt_> Tyril, maybe site layout had changed?
[02:08] <racerd> thanks for no answering my question while
[02:08] <Gryllida> Tyril, or a restart of the app?
[02:08] <Tyril> I have rebooted. I just went from 9 -> 10 and it stopped.
[02:08] <dayrot> no it wasn't, trying it now
[02:08] <a3ist> hey folks having a brain fart...what's the x bin for checking what signals an input device is bound to?
[02:08] <Tyril> it worked fine in the old version before 10.04
[02:08] <racerd> i am looking for a client to transfer files
[02:08] <dum> @pebcac: prompt=normal
[02:08] <Gryllida> Tyril: check for whether you have the newest version of the app now
[02:08] <carl-m_> dayrot: apart from that, all I can suggest is using the debug options to smbbrowse to try to figure it out. but I am not very knowledgable about smb
[02:08] <Gryllida> Tyril: system > administration > upd manager
[02:08] <racerd> i just need an easy client
[02:08] <carl-m_> racerd: for what OS? most people use "ssh"
[02:08] <dayrot> ok, thanks for your help :)
[02:09] <Gryllida> racerd: transfer files? from where to where?
[02:09] <racerd> ......
[02:09] <racerd> Ubuntu
[02:09] <Tyril> Gryllida: I'm checking it, thank you.
[02:09] <Gryllida> racerd: "man ssh"
[02:09] <racerd> from my iphone
[02:09] <carl-m_> the ssh program to copy files is "scp"
[02:09] <Tyril> The only update I have pending is for Cinelerra.
[02:09] <con-man> how do I force a remove and reinstall of hardware device like you would from the device manager?
[02:09] <Dargon> after i install kubuntu-desktop will it load on boot or will i have to start it
[02:09] <racerd> scp?
[02:10] <carl-m_> !scp
[02:10] <racerd> ok
[02:10] <a3ist> con-man:  ...remove the hardware?  If you mean drivers, that'd be "rmmod <firmware name>"
[02:10] <racerd> soooo how do i get a scp lol
[02:10] <racerd> just the software center?
[02:10] <carl-m_> if you are running ubuntu, it should already be installed
[02:10] <JoseBravo> I did a resize using gparted and then I reboot the machine. Now I do df -h and I get the same size, fdisk show the old start-end, but parted show the correct info. http://pastebin.com/WWJMDRW1 Any idea?
[02:10] <racerd> what is it called?
[02:10] <Serpentinex> volume control application is nowhere to be found I need help
[02:11] <Serpentinex> I just want to turn up and down the volume
[02:11] <a3ist> Can someone remind me which x server binary shows the bindings for an input device?  IE press a key or button and it shows you the resulting signal
[02:12] <carl-m_> a3ist: xev
[02:12] <a3ist> carl-m thanks, had a brain fart
[02:12] <ubuntu> how the hell do i tell if gparted is frozen, it wont tell me how far it is in my resizing operation.
[02:12] <raj> great i tried to update using update manager .. and now it gives me i have 10 broken packages.. openoffice refuses to update any ideas?

[02:23] <buppa_> My Firefox is consuming 25% CPU usage, anyone knows whats the problem is? (flash is not installed)
[02:23] <biff_> buppa_: slow CPU?
[02:23] <buppa_> biff_, no its new
[02:23] <slinkeey> Hello...  Is it ok to ask questions related to Netbook Edition?
[02:23] <Gryllida> buppa_: did it previously work?
[02:24] <Gryllida> slinkeey: yes it is I think
[02:24] <buppa_> Gryllida, yes. but in Windows XP the cpu usage is 1-3%, but in ubuntu its 25%
[02:24] <slinkeey> Ok
[02:24] <biff_> buppa_: do you install graphic driver?
[02:25] <buppa_> biff_, yes, propertary driver for ATI Radeon HD 5770... the cpu consumption is not only high in firefox, but also when i move around window in Ubuntu
[02:26] <Gryllida> buppa_: did it previously work on Linux?
[02:26] <Gryllida> buppa_: I mean did it work fast there previously?
[02:26] <biff_> buppa_: are you sure that your ati drivers works? type glxinfo|grep DRI
[02:27] <buppa_> biff_, nothing happens i i type that in terminal
[02:27] <buppa_> Gryllida, no
[02:27] <cmg> how to i run a .bin file?
[02:27] <slinkeey> When I manually select Suspend or Hibernate, my Acer Aspire One works as expected...  When closing the lid and having the power settings set to suspend or hibernate it acts weird..  The system stays up but the screen goes dark...  When you lift the screen open again the fan spins up and the bottom of the netbook gets very hot.
[02:27] <jasmuz> buppa_: glxinfo | grep dro
[02:27] <biff_> buppa_: type glxinfo and find if mesa or properiety drviers ati work

[02:28] <lint> hi can someone tell me why im getting this message when i login? "The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer."
[02:28] <lint> and how to fix it?
[02:28] <cmg> okay it says i need to install a java Vm first, where do I get that?
[02:28] <Frigga_Frag> Just a quick question, I wanna change my login sound, but where on earth do I download .ogg files?
[02:28] <buppa_> jasmuz, nothing happens
[02:28] <Jordan_U> !java | cmg
[02:28] <Frigga_Frag> Or am I going about this all wrong somehow...
[02:28] <jasmuz> buppa_: weird*
[02:29] <cmg> i install the java6 package earlier but no luck
[02:29] <Frigga_Frag> :/
[02:29] <cmg> and before we start with the java issue, i accidently changed my repositories, how do i get them back to default?

[02:30] <lint> hi can someone tell me why im getting this message when i login? "The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer."
[02:30] <biff_> buppa_: so you have properly installed ATI drivers, I don't have idea what is wrong
[02:30] <Gryllida> buppa_: um. which versions were these?
[02:31] <buppa_> Gryllida, ati-driver-installer-10-5-x86.x86_64.run
[02:31] <jasmuz> lint: the why is easy.. you have to check your gnome keyring, because you aren't being granted access to it.
[02:31] <Gryllida> buppa_: whatwhat? ati???
[02:31] <drizzt_> can anyone recomment a mail client like thunderbird but without XUL stuff?
[02:31] <buppa_> Gryllida, yes?
[02:31] <drizzt_> drizzt_, pure gtk etc
[02:31] <lint> jasmuz: how do i access it?
[02:31] <Gryllida> buppa_: I thought you were just installing Firefox.
[02:31] <jasmuz> drizzt_: Claws
[02:31] <biff_> drizzt_: evolution
[02:32] <Gryllida> buppa_: did Firefox start freezing after you installed that driver?
[02:32] <cmg> jordan_Uubottu : how do i get the default repositories back?
[02:32] <buppa_> Gryllida, when im using firefox, the cpu usage is 25% and also when i move around windows in Ubuntu ..
[02:32] <buppa_> Gryllida, no, never. just the cpu usage is very high :/
[02:32] <jasmuz> lint: in the preferences menu
[02:32] <Gryllida> buppa_: what is the relation of the ati driver here?
[02:32] <Frigga_Frag> Where can I download .ogg files?
[02:32] <buppa_> Gryllida, very high cpu usage in xorg
[02:33] <Frigga_Frag> I'm not entirely sure if what I'm planning to do will work, but I still wanna try.

[02:34] <_Christian> Hi? i need some help, i trying to run fear dedicated server, but when i try ./start.sh says "./fearserver.bin" it isnt in the directory but that not truth is in the directory:S
[02:34] <Frigga_Frag> Oh, jeez. I was searching with the wrong keywords. Thanks. >.<
[02:35] <Jordan_U> _Christian: Are using 64 bit Ubuntu?
[02:35] <_Christian> Yes
[02:35] <Tyril> I just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and I noticed that RhythmBox Album art didn't work. Then I found out it was a plugin. So I removed the plugin which removed the music store plugin as well. Both packages had the red canonical logo next to them in Synaptic. Then I tried to reinstall and I got rhythmbox-plugins:
[02:35] <Tyril>   Depends: rhythmbox (=0.12.8-0ubuntu3) but 0.12.8-0ubuntu5 is to be installed I can't get the music store back either because it depends on the plugins package.
[02:35] <Jordan_U> _Christian: Are you using the 64 bit fear server?
[02:35] <buppa_> Anyone know how to reduce the CPU usage in Ubuntu? Its very high (i have installed the propertary drivers)
[02:36] <jasmuz> buppa_: are you running compiz?
[02:36] <_Christian> Mm Jordan_U, i think is for the bot 64 and 32
[02:36] <cynik_b> buppa_: you can check if radeonhd have support for your graphics
[02:36] <th0r> buppa_: use top to see the top cpu load
[02:36] <buppa_> jasmuz, yes
[02:36] <psycho> trying to play a game but says texture compression may be disabled.....how do i fix it?
[02:37] <drizzt_> open-source radeon drivers do not support 3d acceleration
[02:37] <Jordan_U> _Christian: You can check which arch it's for with "file fearserver.bin"
[02:37] <jasmuz> buppa_: try shutting compiz off and measure it again.
[02:37] <buppa_> th0r, Xorg 29%, Firefox 15%
[02:37] <th0r> buppa_: if you kill firefox what happens to xorg?
[02:38] <psycho> trying to play a game but says texture compression may be disabled.....how do i fix it?
[02:38] <slinkeey> When I manually select Suspend or Hibernate, my Acer Aspire One works as expected...  When closing the lid and having the power settings set to suspend or hibernate it acts weird..  The system stays up but the screen goes dark...  When you lift the screen open again the fan spins up and the bottom of the netbook gets very hot.
[02:38] <_Christian> Wait Jordan_U
[02:38] <biff_> drizzt_: you mean radeonhd don't have 3d support?
[02:38] <cletus> Greetings
[02:38] <buppa_> th0r, still very high, when i open/close windows and move around, it lags
[02:38] <drizzt_> yes
[02:38] <Tyril> I guess the question really is how do I get the 0.12.8-0ubuntu5 version of rhythmbox-plugins and rhythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store or how do I downgrade rhythmbox to 0.12.8-0ubuntu3?
[02:39] <drizzt_> it pretends to have dri, but it soes not work IRL
[02:39] <th0r> buppa_: then I would try backing up to the old video drivers and see if that helps
[02:40] <Berxwedan> guys can you recommend me a C ide?
[02:40] <carl-m|away> emacs
[02:40] <Gryllida> !ide
[02:40] <biff_> buppa_: visual studio ;)
[02:40] <biff_> f
[02:40] <Gryllida> ??
[02:40] <_Christian> [Jordan_U] i dont understand much waht are u saying, can be more especific, sorry for my bad english
[02:40] <biff_> Berxwedan: vusual studio
[02:40] <Berxwedan> microsoft visual studio?
[02:40] <Berxwedan> yeah of course :)
[02:41] <Berxwedan> will try emacs thanks
[02:41] <biff_> Berxwedan: vim is better ;)
[02:41] <buppa_> th0r, but is it because Ubuntu is decoding in the CPU instead of GPU?
[02:41] <Jordan_U> _Christian: In the directory that contains fearserver.bin run "file ./fearserver.bin" and pastebin the output.
[02:41] <_Christian> A okay

[02:42] <WizardEmpty> Does anyone know how to re-brand Ubuntu? I attempted to make a remix by stripping everything then putting xmonad on, I've customized it loads and to save time, I remastered it so I don't have to re-customize it on each install. A few of my friends like the look and speed of it and want to use it too, the same for some people I know on IRC, I'd like to keep customizing what I have and hopefully make my own ubuntu spin, but I'd like to replace the Ubu
[02:42] <WizardEmpty> ntu branding with my own, any help?
[02:42] <biff_> buppa_: ati drivers sucks, i have 3 radeons and have always problem with ati drivers
[02:42] <IdleOne> !ru | fraiz
[02:42] <fraiz> hello guys
[02:42] <fraiz> tfx
[02:42] <buppa_> biff_, how much is firefox / xorg consuming for you?
[02:42] <mary_> hey guys
[02:43] <biff_> buppa_: wait
[02:43] <psycho> trying to play a game but says texture compression may be disabled.....how do i fix it?
[02:43] <IdleOne> !hi | mary_
[02:43] <pvl1> psycho, what game? and do u have video drivers isntaleld
[02:43] <Berxwedan> !hi | IdleOne
[02:43] <_Christian> [Jordan_U] here is : http://pastebin.com/jX9xWsF8
[02:44] <Gryllida> biff_: vusual studio isn't supported on linux, is it?
[02:44] <IdleOne> Berxwedan: Hello
[02:44] <sef> hi I've modified my grub config to remove "quiet" and "splash", I now see the kernel boot up text, then things become black, then I see the graphical login prompt
[02:44] <biff_> buppa_: sorry, firefox is now compiling, I try user netbsd, and don't have ati, I sell my radeonhd 4850
[02:44] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, do u mean the ubuntu logo
[02:44] <mary_> say I just installed Lucid for a friend that has an ati rage pci card on a desktop running a LCD and X isn't detecting the correct resolution and I thought running  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  would help and it didn't, how can I get the card and resolution setup?
[02:44] <sef> what can I do not to see that "black" portion? I have a specific script running that I'm not seeing during that part
[02:44] <cletus> Hey everyone, Im on a livecd right now and it seems like the brightness was somehow turned down. Could this be due to my video card not having drivers installed yet?
[02:44] <buppa_> biff_, is ATI always bad with linux?
[02:44] <Jordan_U> _Christian: That is a 32 bit executable, if there is a 64 bit version available then you should use that instead
[02:45] <psycho> pvl1: left for dead and got radeon 9950
[02:45] <avi_> Hey all. Any way of having ubuntu wake up from suspend/sleep for the purposes of using it as an alarm clock? This is a desktop.
[02:45] <Berxwedan> no cletus
[02:45] <biff_> mary_: X -configure, copy xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg,conf, edit it and change what you want
[02:45] <psycho> pvl1: 9550
[02:45] <mwen> how can i see witch programs is running on my computer if i connect to it at distance?
[02:45] <biff_> buppa_: ati is ok with open source drivers but opengl is slow
[02:45] <cletus> berxwedan: know why?
[02:45] <buppa_> biff_, so where can i find the open source drivers?
[02:46] <_Christian> [Jordan_U] so it nevel will run :(?
[02:46] <thune3> cletus: maybe you had software pushed brightness on your other OS, and now it is back to default.
[02:46] <dewman> mwen, just type top at a $ prompt
[02:46] <im63KG> help msg
[02:46] <pvl1> psycho, and ur trying to run it thru wine? did u configure it in winecfg?
[02:46] <im63KG> help /msg
[02:46] <biff_> buppa_: search for radeonhd but I don't know if it have support for you card, check ubuntu repository for it or web
[02:46] <Jordan_U> _Christian: You can either try to find a native 64 bit version (recommended) or install 32 bit compatability libraries
[02:46] <mwen> ok. thanks. can i kill it?
[02:47] <no-name> What can I use to mount a floppy image (format = .img) in ubuntu? I tried Furious ISO mount but it just read it as an empty folder. (It is a Windows 3.11 Install Disk 1)
[02:47] <mary_> biff_, Lucid doesn't have xorg.conf
[02:47] <psycho> pvl1: no....how i do it?
[02:47] <dewman> mwen, kill what? top?
[02:47] <mary_> biff_, I thought running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would create one

[02:48] <mwen> kill like firefox if it running.
[02:48] <biff_> mary_: wait, I will boot my desktop and check ;)

[02:48] <KittyBoots> Hello everyone, I have Ubuntu 10.4 installed and I am trying to interface with a canon lide 600f scanner with no success.  I believe that there is no driver support for this piece of equipment.  How can I resolve this issue?
[02:48] <Jordan_U> _Christian: No danger, but have you looked for a native 64 bit version?
[02:48] <pvl1> psycho, well you are running it in wine right?
[02:48] <_Christian> Yeah, doesn't exist:/
[02:49] <biff_> mary_: wait

[02:50] <pvl1> psycho, run winecfg in a terminal, but theres things u need to know to edit. gimme a minute
[02:50] <thune3> cletus: if you are on laptop, you could add brighness applet to a panel to facilitate adjustment
[02:50] <mary_> biff_, I think I found what you use:
[02:50] <mary_> Instead of editing xorg.conf, in Ubuntu 10.04 you edit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-wacom.conf
[02:50]  * mary_ looks
[02:50] <psycho> pvl1: k
[02:50] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: Not just that, I've done all the easy stuff, like GDM, Splash, Wallpapers, it's the boot-up thats causing me head-aches.
[02:50] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, oohh, the actuall splash. gimme a minute
[02:50] <_Christian> [Jordan_U] well, how i can install that libraries?
[02:51] <mwen> dewman: if firefox is running can i kill it at distance?
[02:51] <pvl1> psycho, hm no, the wine website says that it should all run withut confiug
[02:51] <Jordan_U> _Christian: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790

[02:52] <dewman> just find the pid and kill it using top
[02:52] <WizardEmpty> pv1, Thanks!
[02:52] <dewman> mwen, in top k is for kill

[02:53] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, u mean something like this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Crunchy+Branch+-+Plymouth+%26+Usplash?content=102489
[02:53] <luka1> how can i make the window border thicker in ubuntu netbook?

[02:54] <mary_> yeah you have to go out of X
[02:54] <mary_> run it in like runlevel 1 or something
[02:54] <pvl1> mary_, in that case, switch to a different tty, know how to do that
[02:54] <pvl1> !tty
[02:54] <mary_> yeah
[02:54] <pvl1> mary_, im pretty sure u gotta log into tty and do i tfrom there
[02:55] <glick> hi

[02:55] <glick> i just bought a netgear one but it doesnt work
[02:55] <biff_> mary_: LOL, ubuntu can use xorg.conf if you generate it with X -configure
[02:55] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: I'd like to modify that
[02:56] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, when you log in but before x? so you go past grub, choose a boot, and itll take you through text to a terminal. do you mean the terminal or right befor it?
[02:56] <Jordan_U> martian: Before trying Xorg -configure, have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?

[03:04] <chetnick> I have a bunch of file ending with .html? What is the best way to truncate .html from the end? Thanks.
[03:04] <pvl1> thebruce, can you use it in bios
[03:04] <thebruce> i am using  the logitech bluetooth usb dongle with the mx5500
[03:04] <thebruce> pvl1, yes
[03:04] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: That's great, it's a start! Where can I find ofinitrd?
[03:04] <thebruce> it's strange
[03:05] <Jordan_U> _Christian: Yes
[03:05] <pvl1> thebruce, im willing to bet that theres an option in your bios for plug n play. try turning it off
[03:05] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: I'm not on an ubuntu set up so I can't check, sorry.
[03:05] <thebruce> pvl1, ahh yes indeed there is
[03:05] <thebruce> would that have unwanted effects?
[03:05] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, hm, lemme see. i personally havent looked into it
[03:05] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: Okay
[03:06] <blocky> is beagle the best desktop search?
[03:06] <hiexpo> !best
[03:06] <blocky> *sigh*
[03:07] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, are you using debian? find cant find ofinitrd
[03:07] <blocky> hiexpo, do you use an addon desktop search>?
[03:07] <WizardEmpty> pvl1: No, sorry I'm on Sabayon
[03:08] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, thats fine. im just trying to clarify
[03:08] <hiexpo> blocky, i just use the one that it came with
[03:09] <hiexpo> blocky, but i was just rweading about beagle and it looks pretty good for searching logs etc
[03:10] <pvl1> WizardEmpty, i used ubuntu's startup process. you should find sabayon's boot process, maybe theres is different
[03:11] <hiexpo> blocky, because i really don'tneed a search engine i am the search engine i know where everything is at and i control the computer and don't just let things scatter i put them where i want them
[03:12] <JoeSomebody> how do you check a ntfs drive for errors with a live cd?
[03:12] <pvl1> JoeSomebody, load gparted, right click the partition and select check disk for errosr
[03:12] <pvl1> JoeSomebody, or do you want a terminal command
[03:13] <JoeSomebody> either
[03:13] <drizzt_> blocky, i'm afraid it's only working solution for Linux
[03:13] <Alael> hi
[03:13] <drizzt_> blocky, but then again, it's tainted with Mono, really sad
[03:13] <Appl6> JoeSomebody: You have to use a Windows CD.  Linux NTFS tools are not advanced enough to do full repairs.
[03:13] <hiexpo> blocky,  so i do not just click n go here like most have become use to in windows click n go and oh *** where is it andnowthings do not work right i investigate it thourly
[03:14] <hiexpo> thouroughly*
[03:14] <JoeSomebody> ok
[03:15] <Appl6> JoeSomebody: Linux has ntfsfix, which does some basic error checking and recovery, but using chkdsk from a Windows CD is the better option.
[03:15] <JoeSomebody> ok
[03:15] <sef> yeah, I think the frame buffer driver in 10.04 does not like the Chrome9 HC3 video card in my Lenovo S12, any attempt to Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6] gets me a screen full of a solid color
[03:15] <JoeSomebody> thanks
[03:15] <sef> how can I disable framebuffer usage for console?
[03:16] <hiexpo> sef, killall

[03:17] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: yes I understand that it failed
[03:17] <hiexpo> aaaoooaaa,  what is the error it will tell you

[03:17] <hiexpo> killall framebuffer
[03:18] <hiexpo> why do u want to kill it
[03:18] <Alael> what is the error message
[03:19] <hiexpo> aaaoooaaa,  thats right winrar is windows
[03:19] <aaaoooaaa> hiexpo: uhuh... so what are my options now?
[03:20] <hiexpo> aaaoooaaa,  unrar free

[03:20] <Jon--> Occasionally, when I boot Ubuntu, my windows have no title. It's like this now. How can I 1) fix this now and 2) prevent this in the future? [lucid]
[03:20] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: how do you come to that conclusion?
[03:20] <hiexpo> right click on it extract here  if it has a problem it will tell u why
[03:20] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: start making educated guesses for a start
[03:21] <vieira> pvlv1: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH#Speed_up_SSH
[03:21] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: you'd have to be educated first guess
[03:21] <pvl1> thnx vieira
[03:21] <Appl6> pvl1: Try arcfour compression.  Its security isn't established, but it's much faster.
[03:21] <Im63KgWeight> aaaoooaaa: 7zip can work for u as well
[03:21] <Jon--> Occasionally, when I boot Ubuntu, my windows have no title. It's like this now. How can I 1) fix this now and 2) prevent this in the future? [lucid]
[03:21] <hiexpo> drizzt_,  - oh is that what he's doing
[03:21] <Gryllida> How do I turn off font smoothing in firefox?
[03:21] <pvl1> Appl6, i think im suing arcfour and blowfish
[03:21] <fr1sco> 7zip is the best
[03:21] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: ok thanks ill check that out
[03:21] <drizzt_> aaaoooaaa, what is the archive size, btw?
[03:22] <vieira> pvl1: Is this a lan connection or over internet?
[03:22] <hiexpo> drizzt_,  - whats an archive lol watch
[03:22] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: what difference would it make?
[03:22] <pvl1> vieira, both, but even over lan, it occasionally gets choppy. the application in question is eclipse. i have a feeling it might just be eclipse
[03:22] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: is there a limit on unrar by file size?
[03:23] <vieira> pvl1: eclipse gets choppy even when running locally xD
[03:23] <hiexpo> aaaoooaaa,  maybe the rar is corrupt
[03:23] <drizzt_> aaaoooaaa, ext4 filesystem can corrupt files >512 MB
[03:23] <thune3> Jon--: you can disable compiz: http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479711&page=2 or try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478301
[03:23] <pvl1> vieira, figured as such. but im still going to permenantly enable the things the sites recommends
[03:24] <aaaoooaaa> drizzt_: im not on ext4
[03:24] <vieira> pvl1: It's a little faster with that things enabled but it's not a huge difference.
[03:24] <pvl1> vieira, every little bit will help in this case
[03:25] <vieira> pvl1: :)
[03:25] <gimble> i cant install firefox 3.5 on my warty

[03:27] <gimble> grub2 as of lucid is awesome!
[03:27] <gimble> grub2 as of karmic was terrible!
[03:27] <Gryllida> ...?
[03:27] <dcamp25> Broadcom BC4312 shows up as eth1
[03:28] <njbair> where's a good chan to ask about the psnup utility?
[03:28] <Gryllida> apologies, I installed 10.4, looks like I had grub 1.98 after that, is it ok?
[03:28] <Dargon> hey guys, after i install kubuntu-desktop, how do i get it to run?
[03:28] <gimble> Gryllida, i believe so
[03:28] <luka1> how can i move the close/minimize/maximize buttons from top left corner to top right corner of windows? ubuntu netbook
[03:28] <hiexpo> dcamp25, whats wrong with that
[03:29] <dcamp25> trying to run aircrack and it should be wlan0
[03:29] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: man 7z | grep -n "rar" does not yield anything so I dont think it supports rar
[03:29] <Appl6> Dargon: You should be able to select it at the login screen.
[03:29] <hiexpo> dcamp25,  - wlan0 is just used as a referance no two cards are the same
[03:30] <Dargon> appl6, so if i reboot the machine ill get the option?
[03:30] <Appl6> luka1: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13535/move-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-10.04/
[03:30] <Im63KgWeight> aaaoooaaa: i don't think so, rar is supported. use 7za x *rar
[03:30] <Dargon> Appl6: its ubuntu server
[03:30] <Appl6> Dargon: You should be able to get it by logging out.
[03:30] <Dargon> k
[03:30] <Dargon> sec
[03:30] <luka1> thanks Appl6
[03:31] <dcamp25> hiexpo, understand, still will not enter monitor mode,  can i change the name somehow  ?

[03:31] <Dargon> dayrot: chmod

[03:32] <Ivis> ?
[03:32] <dayrot> thanks
[03:32] <hiexpo> dcamp25,  - sudo airomon-ng
[03:32] <hiexpo> dcamp25,  - see if you card shows up
[03:33] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: yeah it says it supports unpacking
[03:33] <dcamp25> hiexpo, already got that,  still same issue interface will not enter monitor mode.  some how 10.04 does not identify the card correctly
[03:33] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: so whats the diff between 7z,7za &7zr?
[03:33] <Appl6> Dargon: So you start in runlevel 3?  Why not just startkde then?
[03:33] <aaaoooaaa> Im63KgWeight: the man pages seem similar
[03:34] <dcamp25> hiexpo, card shows up as unknown
[03:34] <hiexpo> dcamp25,  - what does it show up as when you type sudo airmon-ng ?
[03:34] <hiexpo> oopsoh
[03:34] <Im63KgWeight> aaaoooaaa: i quit don't know about the differents between them,sometimes i simply use 7z to uncompress archieves and sometime use 7za instead.:/
[03:34] <dayrot> any idea why a mounted hard drive shows up under media/4884D41D84D40EF6? And is it possible to make it something easy, it is an internal sata drive. Would be nice if it was automatically mounted all the time too.

[03:35] <Ivis> ok mybe someone can answer ?
[03:36] <Bleach> how to install safari 5 in ubuntu 9.10
[03:36] <Ivis> :)
[03:36] <Jordan_U> Bleach: Why?
[03:36] <PDG1> Bleach, why?...
[03:36] <sebsebseb> Bleach: no Safari for Linux distros,  and plenty of other better browsers to choose from :)
[03:36] <musturd> Safari = the devil
[03:36] <PDG1> lolz @ Jordan_U for thinking the same thing
[03:36] <Pip> what does a "dummy transitional package" mean ?
[03:36] <Bleach> its fastest  thats why
[03:36] <Unholy> any one here familiar with stinbd's kitchen?
[03:37] <sebsebseb> Bleach: also the rendering engine which Safari and Chrome and Chromium use Webkit, is based on KHTML what Konqueror uses, and now thats a pretty nice browser to have in a Linux distro :)
[03:37] <Bleach> i had try to install it through wine but
[03:37] <sebsebseb> Bleach: if you don't want to use Firefox I mean
[03:37] <xxpor> Bleach: thats debatable
[03:37] <Unholy> ups wrong channel
[03:37] <PDG1> Bleach, ... that is the wrong way to go :p
[03:37] <sebsebseb> !browsers | Bleach
[03:37] <xxpor> Bleach: try Chrome, they are similar
[03:37] <Bleach> sebsebseb: how can i.. becoz im using gnome.. not kde
[03:37] <musturd> I use Chrome
[03:37] <musturd> and like it
[03:37] <Keith> Was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to install with wubi, system appears to load but halfway through it kicks me back to the grub screen asking to rerun program, try diagnostic, or run Windows 7. When I boot from CD this is the first time it was successful, any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[03:38] <musturd> I use chrome in Gnome
[03:38] <Jordan_U> Pip: A good example is what happened when the application "gaim" changed its name to "pidgin". The package name had to change, but users using gaim had to be upgraded to pidgin automatically.
[03:38] <musturd> sudo apt-get install google-chrome
[03:38] <musturd> done
[03:38] <PDG1> musturd, chrome is webkit 2, isn't it?
[03:38] <sebsebseb> Bleach: if you do a browser in Wine, and don't change the user agent,   website statistics will be told that your using Windows
[03:38] <PDG1> webkit aswell*
[03:38] <Bleach> xxpror: i try chrome.. while compare with safari nope.. it s no use
[03:38] <sebsebseb> Bleach: you can  run most KDE apps inside Gnome as well
[03:38] <musturd> yes I'm pretty sure it is
[03:38] <Jordan_U> Pip: So a dummy package was created called "gaim" that did nothing but depend on (and therefore install) "pidgin"
[03:38] <musturd> It is webkit I mean
[03:38] <sebsebseb> musturd: Chrome uh
[03:39] <sebsebseb> musturd: see above
[03:39] <sebsebseb> Chromium  maybe,  Chrome no,   FIrefox :)   Konqueror :)  Opera uhmm yeah ok, yes closed source, but ok :)
[03:39] <Im63KgWeight> musturd: i prefer opera, the ICO 'O' look much beautiful then chrome. do u think so? :-)
[03:39] <Bleach> sebsebseb: so do u give me a linux deb file link for that kde browser
[03:40] <PDG1> I'm having a weird problem with my display when i try to watch video. if i go full screen it shows some black blocks and such
[03:40] <Seven_Six_Two> I don't have a "me menu". How do I add one to my panel?
[03:40] <sebsebseb> musturd: and webkit woudn't even exist, if it wasn't for Konqueror with its KHTML that Apple deicded to fork making webkit
[03:40] <Bleach> sebsebseb: so that i might use
[03:40] <arnor> Or, for that matter, where do I set stuff that used to belong in /boot/grub/menu.lst, as of Lucid?
[03:40] <musturd> I got hooked on Chrome before I moved to Ubuntu, so I just installed it as soon as I came to Ubuntu
[03:40] <sebsebseb> Bleach: uhmm the good browsers for Ubuntu are already in the repo
[03:40] <Pip> Jordan_U, sounds like a meaningful reinstall, right ?
[03:40] <OldPete> Yes, Chrome is WebKit.  There's another one out there in sort of permanent Beta called Midori that is also WebKit.
[03:40] <sebsebseb> Bleach: uh not just Ubuntu, other Linux distros as well
[03:40] <musturd> So I should try Opera?
[03:40] <sebsebseb> musturd: if you want
[03:40] <sebsebseb> musturd: however Konqueror is :)
[03:41] <hiexpo> opera is nice and light weight
[03:41] <sebsebseb> musturd: Konqueror is my favourite browser after  Firefox
[03:41] <n2diy> my test box is afu. Last night it reported a restart was required, which was a surprise, as I hadn't done any updates. did the restart, and fsck failed. I was told I needed to run fsck manually, in maintance mode, and mount the system read only. Further down, it said I was in maintance mode, read only, so I ran fsck. Had a bunch of errors, but managed to get to the X log in screen. But no joy there, as it wouldn't take my password. So,
[03:41] <n2diy>  I booted into recovery mode, and tried changing my password there, no joy, I wasn't known to the authentication module.So I tried adding user vic, and he didn't get a password, because he isn't known to the auth. module either. Whats going on?
[03:41] <musturd> sebsebseb: You would suggest Konqueror even with Gnome?
[03:41] <sebsebseb> musturd: yes
[03:41] <sebsebseb> musturd: just like I would suggest Konversation for IRC, even if going to run it in Gnome
[03:41] <User01> ubuntu0 supports auto detect hardware on boot right
[03:41] <User01> ubuntu
[03:42] <Bleach> sebsebseb: i had tryout that midori.. but its a waste of time..
[03:42] <sebsebseb> musturd: and I would suggest K3B as a good alternative to brasero, and KDM as a good alternative to GDM for the log in screen
[03:42] <sebsebseb> Bleach: yeah midori is new not tried it yet actsaully
[03:42] <PDG1> sebsebseb, why not just use Kubuntu tjem?
[03:42] <PDG1> then*
[03:42] <User01> what's the most reliable distro to auto detect hardware on boot
[03:42] <Bleach> sebsebseb:so i try khtml
[03:42] <Jordan_U> Bleach: Try Google Chrome, being fast and light is its main advantage over other browsers.
[03:42] <musturd> Sounds good sebsebseb, I'll give them a try
[03:43]  * sebsebseb been mixing Gnome  and KDE apps here and there, since 2004/5
[03:43] <sebsebseb> Bleach: KHTML is the rendering engine that Konqueror uses to display webpages
[03:43] <OldPete> Midori is fast but lacking features.  'Course the lacking features is one reason it is so fast.
[03:43] <arnor> Anyone? What is the new location for things that used to go in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[03:43] <Bleach> jordon u: but how can i block flash files in chrome.
[03:43] <sebsebseb> Bleach: Apple decided to fork it and make their own version and so made Webkit, which  Safari, Chrome, Chromium, and some other browsers use
[03:44] <Jordan_U> Bleach: http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/flashblock/
[03:44] <skreet>  easy/preferred way to assign hotkeys to apps in GNOME?
[03:44] <Bleach> sebsebseb: the new html5 concept while apple said abt.. will e supported..
[03:44] <sebsebseb> oh yeah Arora is also nice
[03:44] <Appl6> arnor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[03:44] <Bleach> jordon u: thk dude.. i ll try
[03:44] <Ivis> Hi, can i upgrade from beta2 10.04 to stable ?
[03:45] <sebsebseb> Bleach: musturd  Windows is pretty sucky really when it comes to browser choice, much more choice in a Linux distro
[03:45] <sebsebseb> Bleach: musturd even text only browsers, which can be fun to play around with a bit
[03:45] <itilious> how can i delete a directory that was made from Ubuntu linux but in a windows environment?
[03:45] <hiexpo> sebsebseb,  why use all those kde apps with gnome if that is the case why not just run kde desktop
[03:46] <itilious> it appears ubuntu made the file name/location invalid for windows to do anything, could some one help me out on how to delete such directories?
[03:46] <sebsebseb> hiexpo: I will again sometimes now that KDE 4.3 is useable for me, without just going back to Gnome
[03:46] <ubuntitude> hey, guys. Every type of media i attempt to play on Lucid has an annoying error where the volume slider on whatever app I'm using refuses to stay on any setting other than max; if i set it lower, it just steadily climbs back to maximum volume. any way to remedy this?
[03:46] <arnor> Appl6: Thanks, my google fu is failing today
[03:46] <sebsebseb> hiexpo: since more KDE 3 like
[03:46] <Jordan_U> Bleach: Youtube is pushing to go html5, Google owns Youtube. Chrome supports HTML5 video better than Safari IMHO (it supports Free codecs as well rather than just Apple's pet h.264)
[03:46] <musturd> sebsebseb: I like lynx :)
[03:46] <sebsebseb> hiexpo: why mix apps, since  sometimes the other DE has a better app for a task
[03:46] <skreet> sebsebseb:  I can't think of many browsers for Linux that aren't available for Windows.
[03:47] <sebsebseb> skreet: well some are available for Windows that weren't say a few years ago, but  they will still be better on Linux
[03:47] <skreet> sebsebseb: Are you referring to Konqueror?  Can't think of much else that is recent..
[03:47] <skreet> Dillo comes to mind, is that still around?
[03:47] <sebsebseb> skreet: dillo is still around yeah
[03:47] <sebsebseb> skreet: and Galeon and Epiphany
[03:48] <sebsebseb> skreet: don't think those three have a Windows version
[03:48] <skreet> sebsebseb: Never heard of Galeon -- Isn't Epiphany really a firefox rebuild (sorry if it's not, I've never used it)
[03:48] <TheAngel> how come my "minimize/maximize/close" menu is gone?
[03:49] <sebsebseb> skreet: Galeon used to be the default browser for the Gnome Desktop Environment,  most Gnome distros will use FIrefox instead :).    However Galeon is nice,  but  not developed that much anymore if at all really.  Epiphany is the new default for Gnome,  used to use Gecko now uses Webkit.
[03:49] <skreet> sebsebseb: Was just reading wikipedia on Epiphany - I really thought it was like 'Iceweasel', with more GNOME tweaking -- I stand corrected.
[03:49] <sebsebseb> TheAngel:  Gone or just on the left?
[03:50] <ubuntitude> does anyone know of a fix for the volume slider on mplayer, movie player, rhythmbox, etc. constantly sliding to max volume regardless of the intended setting?
[03:50] <hiexpo> TheAngel,  did u change your theme or something
[03:50] <nUboon2Age> Q: does Ubuntu 64bit work fairly well or is it known to be glitchy?  My girlfriend is thinking of a machine w/ quadcore 64 bit capability.  Is it a better bet to run it w/ 32 bit or 64 bit?
[03:50] <TheAngel> hiexpo, no all i did was use ubuntu tweak, to get that menu to the right.
[03:50] <sebsebseb> ubuntitude: 64bit Ubuntu works quite well
[03:50] <skreet> nUboon2Age: Using 64-bit now.  Should be okay, might run into issues with things like wine.
[03:50] <TheAngel> it was working fine for a few days.
[03:50] <sebsebseb> TheAngel: ok really the menu should be on the right :)
[03:50] <dayrot> OK, so I have manually changed the permissions of a folder I am trying to share over the network using chmod to allow read and execute to "others", but when I right click on the folder and look at the properties it is set as none...
[03:50] <TheAngel> no, its gone.
[03:50] <TheAngel> not on the left or right.
[03:50] <Bleach> Jordon_U:
[03:50] <sebsebseb> TheAngel: oh
[03:51] <hiexpo> nUboon2Age,  32 bit
[03:51] <skreet> hiexpo: Curious, why?
[03:51] <ubuntitude> sebsebseb: i think you were trying to get in contact with nUboon2Age, not me :P
[03:51] <sebsebseb> TheAngel: maybe use Ubuntu tweak to  get it back
[03:51] <dayrot> If I try to change it from the GUI it doesn't let me, and instantly reverts back to none...
[03:51] <TheAngel> and if i use ubuntu tweak again it says the menu should still be at the right. Switching it back to the left didnt seem to change it back.
[03:51] <sebsebseb> ubuntitude: uh what?
[03:51] <dayrot> Anyone have any idea why this might be?
[03:51] <hiexpo> skreet, seems to run better uses less resources
[03:51] <nUboon2Age> hiexpo: please elaborate
[03:51] <Bleach> Jordon_U: the flash blocker is good.. and html5 which google plan to move is good too
[03:51] <acerimmer> TheAngel: same thing happened to me when I used utweak and had visual effects enabled.  Turn off visual effects.  Run the panels script to follow and then reset your panels.
[03:51] <ubuntitude> sebsebseb: you told me ubuntu 64bit works quite well; that doesn't seem to have any relevance to my question :P
[03:52] <acerimmer> !panels>theangel
[03:52] <acerimmer> !panels|theangel
[03:52] <sebsebseb> ubuntitude: oh I see a wrong person message again
[03:52] <sebsebseb> nUboon2Age: Ubuntu 64bit works quite well
[03:52] <skreet> hiexpo: Definately will use less resources, but *can* address more memory natively.  I guess I prefer 64-bit because it's all headed in that direction.
[03:52] <skreet> Looks like the official stance of the Ubuntu chat room is:  "either"
[03:52] <cynical> nUboon2Age: I've been using 64-bit for a few releases now, everything works well
[03:52] <dsnyders> Is there a way to list the folders that contain a particular type of file?  just the folders, not the files themselves?
[03:52] <ubuntitude> sebsebseb: hehe, nice save
[03:53] <hiexpo> lol
[03:53] <skreet> Anyone else tried using Empathy for IRC?  So far I'm not a fan -- maybe there are tricks (besides 'install something else' -- I like checking out the defaults with each release)
[03:53] <PDG1> skreet, xchat ftw
[03:53] <nUboon2Age> sebsebseb: skreet: ubuntitude: cynical: thanks for your feedback!
[03:54] <hiexpo> xchat works great
[03:54] <scoates> hello.
[03:54] <skreet> PDG1: hiexpo:  v.v
[03:54] <dayrot> Anyone?
[03:54] <ubuntitude> nUboon2Age: wait, i provided feedback? That's news to me!
[03:54] <skreet> I know Xchat works great! :]
[03:54] <scoates> I've somehow managed to kill my bind, and /etc/init.d/bind9 start fails (rndc can't connect). What do I need to start so rndc can connect to the bind service?
[03:54] <jasmuz> skreet: Pidgin does it all
[03:54] <PDG1> skreet, then why are you using anything else :P
[03:54] <skreet> PDG1: Trying to test out the defaults, get a feel for the direction of Ubuntu =)
[03:55] <nUboon2Age> ubuntitude: oops, well thanks for being u. :)
[03:55] <ubuntitude> nUboon2Age: i try, i try ;)
[03:55] <hiexpo> pidgin is good also but i just use it for my messangers and xchat for irc
[03:55] <skreet> I like the way Empathy integrates with the panel in 10.04.  Can you do that with Pidgin, too?
[03:56] <ubuntitude> well, i guess nobody has ever encountered this volume slider glitch before. great.
[03:56] <PDG1> skreet, ooohhhh
[03:57] <Appl6> skreet: Pidgin has a buggy libnotify-plugin that handles some of the panel interactions.  I tried Empathy and it was fine for AIM, MSN, and IRC (for me, anyway), but I dropped it because it didn't show whether some AIM contacts were using a mobile phone.
[03:57] <skreet> Appl6: Good to know, thanks for the info.
[03:57] <antonio_> hey everyone...
[03:57] <scoates> nm.. config error. my fault.
[03:57] <antonio_> is there any program on Ubuntu to record webcam video, as well as record audio from a separate source (microphone)?
[03:58] <Brian---> Question / big problem.  dist-upgrade via graphical (synaptic) stalled at "setting up grub-pc..." "18 minutes remaining".  What should I do? (karmic->lucid)
[03:58] <jasmuz> Appl6: Empathy still has a long way to go before replacing my trusty Pidgin
[03:58] <hiexpo> antonio_, cheese
[03:58] <antonio_> hiexpo: can I record audio with Cheese?  My webcam does't have a mic
[03:59] <hiexpo> antonio_, not absolutely sure but i think so investigate it
[03:59] <User01> ubuntu autodetects hardware on boot?
[03:59] <skreet> User01:  The linux kernel detects hardware at boot-time, yes.
[03:59] <acerimmer> User01: we hope...
[03:59] <User01> hahaha ;)
[04:00] <acerimmer> antonio_: explain.  you mean overlay a soundtrack on video??
[04:00] <User01> different video card types are harder to detect
[04:00] <dayrot> anyone know why i cant change permissions on a folder?
[04:00] <hiexpo> !cheese | antonio_
[04:00] <OldPete> antonio_: I've used recordMyDesktop do that.  Requires some messing around with audio settings in your mixer.  Struggled with it before I figured it out.  http://linuxappfinder.com/package/recordmydesktop
[04:01] <ubuntitude> dayrot: are you using sudo or logging in as root?
[04:01] <dayrot> no, but it acts like it does it
[04:01] <skreet> User01:  What kind of video card do you have.  Generally the linux kernel doesn't care too much and Xorg will need the proper driver.  Ubuntu handles a lot of this seemlessly.
[04:01] <dayrot> trying it with sudo now
[04:01] <dukz> hi guys, i'm having problem with booting into ubuntu after a fresh install in my server
[04:01] <antonio_> oldpete: not messing with that junk program anymore
[04:01] <dukz> it just stays blank after the BIOS POST
[04:01] <dukz> anybody experience this?
[04:01] <dsnyders> Is there a way to list the folders that contain a particular type of file (say *.mp3)?  just the folders, not the files themselves?
[04:02] <dukz> I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server Edition
[04:02] <User01> skreet: an ati xpress2 00
[04:02] <OldPete> antonio_: Alrighty then.
[04:02] <skreet> dukz:  Does it say anything about GRUB, or "Loading stage 1.5..."?
[04:02] <dayrot> ok, sudo did not help
[04:02] <ubuntitude> dsnyders: not that i know of; your best bet would be to search for the type of file you're looking for and then jump up a level
[04:03] <User01> skreet: if the native install is on a nvidia system it still detects ati cards eh
[04:03] <skreet> User01:  ATI's support for Linux is (last time I played with it) not great.  I've been buying nVidia for years because of this.  Maybe someone can shed some more recent light on it.  That being said, you can certainly use the standard display drivers without issue, just no 3d acceleration.
[04:03] <dukz> skreet: Nope. didnt even load the grub
[04:03] <ubuntitude> User01: if my dinosaur Latitude D610 can run Lucid, anything can :P
[04:03] <User01> skreet okay I'm holding my breath :) ty
[04:03] <antonio_> good chese works
[04:03] <antonio_> thanks all
[04:03] <felix_> Got a little problem with Gnome main menu, it's not really technical just an annoyance. The application icons all got smaller, I'm used to the icons being the default being using it like that for a long time, just to see if anybody knows how to solve it/
[04:03] <dsnyders> ubuntitude, Shucks!  I was hoping for some magic incantation of the find command
[04:04] <User01> ubuntitude: heheehe ya
[04:04] <rezolute> [23:01] <dukz> it just stays blank after the BIOS POST
[04:04] <rezolute> [23:01] <dukz> anybody experience this?
[04:04] <dukz> i installed it twice, and it's the same thing
[04:04] <Jordan_U> dukz: Do you have more than one hard drive?
[04:04] <rezolute> you have a video card with 2 dvi ports
[04:04] <skreet> User01:  Not sure what you mean by it detects ATI with nvidia card.  I have no issue here with nvidia cards.
[04:04] <rezolute> switch it to the other one
[04:04] <dukz> Jordan_U: Yeah, it's using a hardware RAID controller
[04:04] <dukz> I installed 9.04 on a similar server a month ago and it didnt have this problem
[04:04] <skreet> dukz: Is said RAID contoller configured as a bootable device in the BIOS boot order?
[04:05] <dukz> skreet: It should be, i didnt touch the RAID controller on the previous OS that was running in it.
[04:05] <dukz> i didnt change the settings of the RAID controller after i formatted it
[04:05] <Jordan_U> dukz: Real hardware RAID or fakeraid? (which is the scam that you get with "raid" controllers on consumer machines)
[04:05] <Roky> alright guys I am having a problem. Everytime I try and boot the installer it hangs on kernel_thread_helper+0x7 0x10
[04:06] <dukz> Jordan_U: Real Hardware raid... HP Smart Array Controller
[04:06] <skreet> Odd question, do you have anything connected via USB such as a thumbdrive or external hard drive.  Also, is it a Dell?
[04:06] <skreet> Disregard Dell question.
[04:06] <skreet> :)
[04:06] <dukz> :)
[04:06] <igoryonya_> hello, I've decided to print to CUPS/PDF from a program that doesn't have a PDF export/save option. I thought, that when it starts printing to CUPS/PDF, it will ask me about the file name/location, but the printer icon just appeared, as if it was printing in the system tray, and disappeared, when finished, where did the PDF file go? I have Ubuntu 9.04.
[04:06] <skreet> You did the install via CD right?
[04:06] <ubuntitude> i love how my D610 can run Ubuntu with all the fancy extra graphical add-ons whereas it could barely even run barebones XP
[04:06] <dukz> already removed the usb stick
[04:06] <skreet> No weird ILO virtual DVD
[04:06] <dukz> i installed it using a usb drive
[04:06] <skreet> Ah
[04:06] <dukz> nope
[04:06] <dukz> nothing
[04:06] <skreet> Does it have a CD?
[04:06] <skreet> If so, check out SuperGrubDisk
[04:07] <ubuntitude> dukz: i'd say to try to burn it onto a CD if possible; sometimes installing from a USB can get funky
[04:07] <dukz> i downloaded an ISO, and created a startup disk with the tool inside ubuntu desktop
[04:07] <skreet> I guess you could use USB for that, too.  Basically will boot grub from CD then start up your Linux on your system -- gives you a way to look at what's going on better.
[04:07] <dukz> hmmm
[04:07] <skreet> My instinct here is the GRUB step somehow got missed or errored out.
[04:07] <skreet> So you have no MBR executable.
[04:07] <skreet> i.e. no boot.
[04:08] <Jordan_U> skreet: dukz: Super GRUB2 Disk can be dd'd to a flash drive as well
[04:08] <dukz> ok, wait leme check that out.
[04:08] <ubuntitude> 404 ISO boot: Image not found :S
[04:08] <DarkDigitalDream> I upgraded my OS from 9.04 to 10.04 on my laptop via the package manager upgrade tool. Since then I've noticed issues with screen artifacts, sound drivers failing randomly, conky not drawing to desktop, and firefox crashing more than usual. This can be generally described as frustrating.
[04:08] <dukz> dang... i only have 1 key right now.hehe
[04:08] <igoryonya_> where does the PDF file goes when you print to CUPS/PDF?
[04:08] <skreet> ooh, SuperGRUB2?  Neato.
[04:09] <skreet> DarkDigitalDream: Sounds awful.  What kind of video card is in the laptop?
[04:09] <hiexpo> igoryonya_, in home folder pdf
[04:09] <dukz> is SuperGrub2Disk different from SuperGrubDisk?
[04:09] <skreet> dukz: The former is probably GRUB v2.
[04:09] <skreet> which is what 10.04 uses by default (I think??)
[04:09] <Roky> alright guys I am having a problem. Everytime I try and boot the installer it hangs on kernel_thread_helper+0x7 0x10. Anyone have any ideas I could try out.
[04:10] <DarkDigitalDream> skreet: intel mobile 4 integrated chipset, according to lspci. Inspiron 1540 laptop, and all stock hardware. Nothing fancy, thats for sure.
[04:10] <dukz> ok, will register and get the download
[04:10] <drizzt_> DarkDigitalDream, so reevrt to 9.04
[04:10] <dukz> will get back to you guys
[04:10] <Jordan_U> dukz: There is Super Grub Disk based on Grub legacy, and Super Grub2 Disk based on Grub2. You want Super Grub2 Disk since Ubuntu 10.04 uses Grub2
[04:11] <dukz> Jordan_U: thanks. trying it out
[04:11] <Jordan_U> dukz: You're welcome.
[04:11] <DarkDigitalDream> drizzt_: not a bad idea. Is there a way to revert without reinstalling everything or needing a CD? (my cd drive is busted, otherwise I would have just started from scratch by now)
[04:11] <skreet> DarkDigitalDream: Unfortunately drizzt_ is probably right.  The newer kernel/Xorg and your hardware aren't getting along.  If you're feeling brave and can stick it out a bit I'd write a bug report on launchpad.
[04:14] <dayrot> OK, so sudo chmod appeared to work, but when I look at the properties of the folder they are the same...? what gives?
[04:14] <DarkDigitalDream> I'm not against moving back if it means stability. This old laptop can't handle any of the eye candy the new OS offers anyway.
[04:14] <skreet> dayrot: Can you post the terminal contents to a pastebin?
[04:15] <skreet> DarkDigitalDream: eye candy brings up an idea, did you try disabling visual effects?
[04:15] <DarkDigitalDream> skreet: yes.
[04:15] <skreet> DarkDigitalDream: bummer.
[04:15] <skreet> Sounded good, right?
[04:15] <dayrot> it just says [mode of 'Music' changed to 0705 (rwx---r-x)]
[04:16] <dayrot> i was trying to change "other" to allow read and execute
[04:16] <skreet> So, what was your chmod command, exactly?
[04:17] <dayrot> sudo chmod -v o+rX Music
[04:17] <DarkDigitalDream> yeah, it was the first thing I tried when I started thinking seriously about fixing things. The screen glitches worry me the most. The other bugs only effect their respective programs, but if Xorg decides to kick the bucket, I could lose a lot of code.
[04:17] <haardz> Hello all! What you think about this post? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/many-hands-make-light-work-few-make-it.html
[04:17] <skreet> dayrot: Can you tell me what "ls -ld Music" says?
[04:17] <dayrot> sure one sec
[04:17] <vishaltelangre> dayrot, sudo chmod +x Music
[04:18] <dayrot> drwx------ 1 blah blah blah
[04:18] <dayrot> so, not the correct permissions
[04:18] <Maletor> How do I make the text expand when I resize the terminal?
[04:18] <aliendude5300> This probably doesn't matter at all to any of you, but it _really_ irritates me that in Ubuntu Lucid not all the icons in the menus on the panel at the top of the screen are there any more... how do I get those back? I really miss my bookmarks icon, and the icons in the system menu. In Karmic, at least there was an option to show the menu icons, but now, that option isn't there any more -- who's stupid decision was that? I don
[04:19] <skreet> dayrot: o+rX should work, though.  Out of curiousity try sudo chmod 705 Music
[04:19] <dayrot> ok
[04:19] <dayrot> I did that, and then did ls -ld and it's the same
[04:19] <vishaltelangre> aliendude5300, which icons?
[04:19] <Jordan_U> dayrot: sudo chmod 755 Music
[04:20] <aplund> dayrot: It is a read/write filesystem?
[04:20] <Arsin> Anyone fold with their GPU here?
[04:20] <skreet> aplund: You'd think it would fail :/
[04:20] <dayrot> Should be, just an ntfs drive from a windows box
[04:20] <skreet> dayrot: AH
[04:20] <Jordan_U> dayrot: There is not much point in group having less permissions than world
[04:20] <aplund> dayrot: not always
[04:20] <skreet> dayrot: You cannot change permissions of an ntfs volume.
[04:20] <dayrot> oh, well shit
[04:20] <skreet> dayrot: Since they are not unix permissions, what you want to do it change how you mount it.
[04:21] <dayrot> ok
[04:21] <skreet> dayrot: Show me the command you used to mount it.
[04:21] <dayrot> I just clicked the drive under places
[04:21] <skreet> Ah
[04:21] <skreet> Must default to root-only, then.
[04:21] <skreet> Which is odd.
[04:21] <collectek> collectek:test
[04:22] <skreet> dayrot: I happen to have an NTFS volume from another system, let me take a peek.
[04:22] <dayrot> awesome, thank you :)
[04:22] <skreet> dayrot: Can you show me (via pastebin) the output of 'mount' in a terminal?
[04:22] <skreet> dayrot: Mine defaulted to using ntfs-3g with 'allow_other' option
[04:22] <dayrot> ok, I'm not sure the command i should use to mount it
[04:22] <skreet> dayrot: No problem, just type 'mount' to get a snapshot of what is currently mounted.
[04:23] <dayrot> ok
[04:23] <skreet> dayrot: Really just the line with Music (or whatever) is fine.
[04:23] <igoryonya_> hiexpo: didn't find anything in home folder, even searched for pdf
[04:23] <vishaltelangre> !ntfs | dayrot
[04:24] <User01> skreet: by that I meant if it's installed on a nvidia setup will it have a problem detecting ati cards
[04:24] <User01> (on another system)
[04:24] <aplund> dayrot: there is info about this in Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt
[04:24] <dayrot> http://pastebin.org/320375
[04:24] <aplund> dayrot: in the umask= option
[04:24] <hiexpo> igoryonya_, have you printed a pdf yet
[04:25] <vishaltelangre> !nvidia | User01
[04:25] <skreet> dayrot: So basically, because it's using fuse/ntfs-3g the filesystem permissions you see are just for compatability.
[04:25] <skreet> dayrot: For example, I am able to read/write to my ntfs volume as my user, even though they all show rwx------ in ls -l.
[04:25] <skreet> dayrot: You should be as well?
[04:26] <aplund> dayrot: you probably want dmask=705
[04:26] <dayrot> I can on this computer, the problem I am having is I can't seem to share this folder on the network.
[04:26] <dayrot> I was thinking maybe it was a problem with permissions
[04:27] <aliendude5300> vishaltelangre: the ones in the menus...
[04:27] <skreet> dayrot:  There are so many layers of abstractions here, you're trying to mount an NTFS volume and share it via Samba? (to Windows systems)
[04:27] <dayrot> no both are running ubuntu
[04:27] <igoryonya_> hiexpo: I used File -> Print -> In print dialog, chose CUPS/PDF -> clicked print, a printer icon in the system try appeared for a few seconds and disappeared.
[04:27] <vahid> hi, ubuntu has become unbootable on my other computer.  Icons disappeared, text was replaced with squares, and applications stopped loading.  So I restarted and system wouldn't boot.  How do I diagnose this?
[04:27] <vishaltelangre> dayrot, then the folder (or ntfs drive?) mounting for you but you're not able to read/write the content of that, right?
[04:27] <skreet> dayrot: So, how are you trying to share it.  Right click > 'Sharing Options'?
[04:27] <dayrot> yes
[04:28] <dayrot> and it says it needs to add permissions, do it automatically? and i said yes
[04:28] <dayrot> but it didn't work
[04:28] <Jordan_U> vahid: It sounds like you lost your hard drive (possibly hardware problem). What happens when you try to boot?
[04:28] <dayrot> which is why i thought permission problem
[04:28] <aliendude5300> vishaltelangre: I managed to find a solution -- running gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons true
[04:28] <aliendude5300> ... and gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true
[04:28] <vishaltelangre> aliendude5300, just right click on Applications tab on top panel, and select Edit Munus
[04:28] <vahid> Jordan_U, it leaves me at a grub command prompt rescue thing
[04:29] <vahid> i have booted from a live usb and i can mount and read the drive fine
[04:29] <aplund> dayrot: perhaps just setting yourself as the default uid will be enough.  You'll need to add uid=blah in fstab
[04:29] <aliendude5300> vishaltelangre: That's not what I meant, but it's fixed now. :)
[04:29] <aliendude5300> vishaltelangre: Thanks anyways! :)
[04:29] <vishaltelangre> aliendude5300, Okay!
[04:29] <hiexpo> igoryonya_, print another page and see if a window pops up and showsprogress as itprints
[04:29] <vahid> however... ls -al tells me most things arent writable
[04:29] <skreet> aplund:  There is probably no fstab line, it's gnomegvfs
[04:29] <Jordan_U> vahid: Did you run any commands unvolving "rm" recently? Or any commands that you didn't understand?
[04:29] <vahid> Jordan_U, nope
[04:30] <aplund> skreet: gnomegvfs doesn't allow mount options?
[04:30] <dayrot> I want someone without an account to be able to have access though..
[04:30] <skreet> aplund:  I'm sure it does, but it's not in fstab =)
[04:30] <vahid> Jordan_U, I was just in the process of troubleshooting an app that wouldn't run in wine
[04:30] <aplund> dayrot: then you'll probably need to set the umask= mount option as well
[04:30] <Jordan_U> vahid: What did you do between booting the working system and seeing squares?
[04:31] <dayrot> hmm, ok i'll go look at fstab, this was working before I installed the latest version of ubuntu... weird
[04:31] <vishaltelangre> dayrot, to allow access to assign execute permissions to owner, group and others also, use chmod +x file_name
[04:31] <vahid> Jordan_U, ummm, quite a lot, it had been over a day the system was on.
[04:31] <aplund> vishaltelangre: This is an NTFS fs, that won't work (see above)
[04:32] <Jordan_U> vahid: The symptoms you are explaining are exacly those that you would get if you started deleting every file in your Ubuntu install, which is concerning to say the least.
[04:32] <vishaltelangre> aplund, oh, okay..
[04:32] <vahid> in / the only folders that are writable are vmlinuz, vmlinuz.old, lib, and tmp
[04:33] <vahid> Jordan_U, is there some way to repair ubuntu?  or is a clean install necessary?
[04:33] <igoryonya> now it just silently closes the program as soon as I try to print.
[04:33] <vishaltelangre> vahid, you need to been have root privileges to write/execute others too...
[04:33] <vahid> ah ok
[04:34] <shiba_> Ubuntu light would be perfect if i could hide the menu's and actually see my background
[04:34] <makk> I'm trying to write random bytes to a file. What's a good way to do this? The file only needs to be ~4kb
[04:34] <vahid> vishaltelangre, aaaah yes, the root user part of the privelages IS writable.  I see.
[04:34] <Jordan_U> vahid: Did you mean readable? If those are the only files that you see then you have indeed deleted pretty close to all of Ubuntu. You may be able to recover some important documents but it may all be lost
[04:34] <forkup> what partition types will both ubuntu and windows "see"?
[04:34] <mawst> Anyone know how I can have wireless inet AND wired lan enabled and still use my internet? See diagram: http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/131/networksetup.jpg
[04:35] <vishaltelangre> vahid, now check if you're logged in as root, ls -ld
[04:35] <vahid> Jordan_U, nah I meant writable, and I can see the others.  Everything seems to still exist
[04:36] <vahid> vishaltelangre, that cmd just lists directory "."  root root
[04:36] <vahid> is that right?
[04:36] <britany_okla> hey I am usuing 10.04 I uninsalled flash cause it  wasn't working now it stalls at 82 percent any ideas
[04:36] <flaco> hi all... I download glib from source.. how can upgrade glib without reinstall the program that depends of glib?
[04:36] <makk> britany_okla, What stalls? The uninstall?
[04:37] <aplund> flaco: you can try installing to /usr/local
[04:37] <britany_okla> installing flash plugin makk
[04:37] <vishaltelangre> forkup, windows mount and allow to write/execute fat/ntfs...
[04:37] <aplund> flaco: but I'd only suggest trying that if you know what you are doing
[04:37] <Jordan_U> vahid: Ok. You can fix grub from the liveCD via: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide , but first you should check your disk's SMART diagnostics from System > Administration > Disk Utility
[04:37] <britany_okla> makk the installation
[04:37] <makk> britany_okla, Installing from the Software Center?
[04:37] <britany_okla> yes makk
[04:38] <vishaltelangre> vahid, ls -l
[04:38] <flaco> aplund, I installed the new version... but I'm trying to compiling some program but is claiming that there is 2 version of glib... I need to "remove" the old one...
[04:38] <vahid> Jordan_U, disk has 10 bad sectors :(
[04:38] <makk> britany_okla, I was having some installation percent issues earlier this week, but the installation went through. Are you familiar with the command line?
[04:38] <makk> terminal*
[04:38] <britany_okla> yes
[04:38] <Jordan_U> vahid: Back up anything important from the drive before doing anything else
[04:38] <britany_okla> i think i am ok let makk now let me try it
[04:38] <vahid> vishaltelangre, what am i looking for in the ls output?
[04:39] <vishaltelangre> vahid, disk checking? execute fsck
[04:39] <vahid> Jordan_U, I already have more or less.  It is a relatively fresh install, just a few days old.  Main loss is all the updates and compiz config I have done
[04:39] <vishaltelangre> !fsck | vahid
[04:39] <aplund> flaco: strange.  You really won't be able to remove the system glib.
[04:40] <aplund> flaco: installing to /usr/local usually overrides the system packages for all intents and purposes
[04:41] <vishaltelangre> vahid, are in your home directory with root privileges while executing that ls command? You'll see the file/directory permissions by that command...
[04:41] <vahid> i should fix the boot problem before fscking right?
[04:42] <vahid> vishaltelangre, i am in the directory that the hdd is mounted too
[04:42] <flaco> aplund, I'm getting this http://dpaste.com/204980/
[04:42] <stephans> Dows anyone know how I get out of a Gnome Terminal Server Client Full screen session without disconnecting or logging out?
[04:42] <skulski> i launched a proram that is crashing and taking over x. I am in the console and i want to kill it it, but its not showing up in ps aux
[04:43] <vishaltelangre> vahid, are you getting problem with bootloader or booting your ubuntu from bootloader (grub or other)
[04:43] <jmdc> hi. With desktop effects turned on, there is a delay when alt-tabbing, and in a few other things in the window manager. I get good 3d performance otherwise. Using flgrx driver on a radeon hd3400
[04:43] <dayrot> skreet, so I'm looking at fstab and trying to figure this out, but you were saying something about it being mounted with fuse something? I looked that up and found it's some virtual filesystem, but honestly that stuff is a bit over my head at the moment. Do you think I just need to mount the drive in a different way to get it to work properly?
[04:43] <vahid> vishaltelangre, yea, i just get the grub rescue thing.  Im currently on a live usb
[04:43] <britany_okla> makk still isn't working right not sure why
[04:43] <aplund> flaco: It's not saying remove the old verison... it's saying point to the new package information.
[04:44] <aplund> flaco: Did you install to /usr/local?
[04:44] <britany_okla> makk it won't let me upload pictures on facebook
[04:44] <aplund> flaco: or did you install to /usr?
[04:44] <makk> britany_okla, Did the install work?
[04:44] <britany_okla> makk yes
[04:45] <makk> britany_okla, What did you install?
[04:45] <flaco> aplund, I'm installing again in /usr/local
[04:45] <vishaltelangre> vahid, by using ubuntu's live cd, you can fix problems resembling your grub... can I help you how you should fix the problem of grub (if you are not seeing it on the computer startup)?
[04:45] <britany_okla> adobe flash plugin for firefox
[04:45] <britany_okla> makk adobe flash plugin for firefox
[04:45] <aplund> flaco: Setting --prefix=/usr/local in configure or autogen.sh should be enough
[04:46] <ubuntubama> Enter text here...
[04:46] <vishaltelangre> britany_okla, hey you need that plugin or anything else you want to know about that?
[04:46] <britany_okla> vishaltelangre yes
[04:46] <vahid> vishaltelangre, Jordan_U provided a helpful link I am reading through now.  http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[04:48] <britany_okla> the flash plugin is working now makk vishalangre but i still can't upload pics on facebook vishaltelangre
[04:48] <ubuntubama> user profile updated"=from
[04:48] <vishaltelangre> britany_okla, hey friend just a minute, I'll tell you the package name, just install that...
[04:49] <makk> britany_okla, But flash is working? Does the Facebook upload use Flash or Java?
[04:49] <britany_okla> not sure now makk it says it has an error running script
[04:49] <vahid> vishaltelangre, just finished mounting all the appropriate folders to chroot into.  However when I type "sudo chroot /mnt" i get "cannont run command /bin/bash : Exec format error"  What does it mean?
[04:49] <britany_okla> but doesn't tell me what script makk
[04:49] <makk> britany_okla, Last time I checked, it was java. Let me check
[04:49] <mad_dog> facebook uses java
[04:50] <jmdc> any ideas for speeding up desktop effects?
[04:50] <makk> britany_okla, Yeah, it uses Java
[04:51] <makk> britany_okla, search for icedtea java plugin
[04:51] <britany_okla> thanks makk
[04:51] <dorian>  /whois tony
[04:52] <makk> britany_okla, you might need to install openjdk java 6 runtime too, but i think it'll do it for you
[04:52] <makk> dorian, he's my neighbor
[04:52] <britany_okla> makk it says i have icetea java
[04:52] <vishaltelangre> britany_okla, oh that's it... I'm having shockwave flash plugin as well icedtea java plugin too
[04:52] <dorian> lol sorrry, typed in the wrong window
[04:52] <britany_okla> makk i will check openjdk
[04:52] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Hello - I have a few issues I was wondering if I could get some help with.  First of all, Firestarter - when I try starting it up, it tells me that it failed to start the firewall because "The device "eth0" is not ready.  Please check your network device and make sure your Internet connection is active."  Well - my wireless is working just fine - so what's the problem?
[04:53] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, eth0 sounds like a wired connection
[04:53] <britany_okla> makk it says i have it
[04:53] <flaco> aplund, I'm getting the same result
[04:53] <britany_okla> makk do i uninstall it and reinstall it
[04:53] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: OK.  So how do I switch the target from "eth0" to the appropriate one?
[04:53] <dorian> eth0 is your ethernet link
[04:53] <dorian> not wireless
[04:53] <aplund> flaco, try: "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local"
[04:53] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, not sure, don't use firestarter
[04:53] <aplund> then try it
[04:53] <dorian> hmm
[04:54] <makk> britany_okla, one second
[04:54] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: Why not?
[04:54] <britany_okla> makk i am sorry makk u guys have been awesome
[04:54] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, don't need to, i guess.
[04:54] <vahid> "sudo chroot /mnt" returns "cannot run command : /bin/bash Exec format error"   what is the problem?
[04:54] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, doesn't ubuntu close ports automatically?
[04:55] <makk> britany_okla, type about:plugins into the firefox address bar
[04:55] <flaco> aplund, the same...
[04:55] <enav> hi
[04:55] <Jordan_U> vahid: Are you using the 64 bit LiveCD?
[04:55] <vahid> aaaah no
[04:55] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: Really !?  I didn't know that.  I'm still kind of new to Linux, so ...  I got it to work now.  But even when I run it - I don't see any activity.  So it's probably just useless anyway ...
[04:55] <aplund> flaco: hmm... that's very odd.. how about adding: "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib", not that it should already be the case
[04:55] <enav> how do i know why my computer is freezing up some times...there is some log to view the reason?????
[04:55] <vahid> its a 64bit installation, so should I be?
[04:56] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, It's not useless...hold on, let me find the right info on it.
[04:56] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, But if you have no reason to open ports, you should be fine
[04:56] <Jordan_U> vahid: It's not strictly necessary, if the LiveCD has grub2.
[04:56] <flaco> aplund, how can I remove a library from pkg?
[04:57] <britany_okla> makk laptop is getting hot
[04:57] <vishaltelangre> !firestarter | rr6937-aafxfhe
[04:57] <aplund> flaco: from pkg-config?
[04:57] <britany_okla> i got to shut down makk but thanks for help
[04:57] <flaco> aplund, yes
[04:57] <makk> britany_okla, Okay.
[04:57] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security#firewallantivirus
[04:57] <vahid> Jordan_U, how do I determine if it does?
[04:58] <vahid> Jordan_U, and whether it does or not, wouldnt the issue be with chroot?
[04:58] <aplund> flaco: strange question.  But I guess removing the apropriate files from (prefix)/lib/pkgconfig
[04:58] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk:  I see.  Yeah - I guess if you don't do any like downloading of music or anything like that - there would be no need to open any more ports ...
[04:58] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Correct. So you should be all right
[04:59] <Jordan_U> vahid: "grub-install --version" If you are using 10.04 on the installed system and that command reports "1.98" for the version, then you are fine using the LiveCD's grub install rather than the grub-install from your installed system (which is what chroot allows you to use)
[05:00] <vahid> Jordan_U, "the program grub is currently not installed
[05:00] <Jordan_U> vahid: grub-install is one word, not spaces
[05:00] <bnagy> hey I am searching for a file called liblvm2clusterlock.so -- it should be installed as part of lvm2, but it's not on my system
[05:00] <bnagy> I have tried apt-file search with no luck :S
[05:00] <ubuntu> Testing lubuntu
[05:00] <rr6937-aafxfhe> ubottu: Thanks for information.  I guess the reason why I wanted to find out more (or use) a firewall - is because I'm not pleased with Firefox's performance so far.  A couple times already - clamtk has detected viruses.  You shouldn't have to download and run all these extensions to be protected.  Which Linux web browser would be best for security and to prevent adware/spyware and viruses?  I know there are a few.  I
[05:00] <rr6937-aafxfhe> know I don't need to really worry about viruses - but it's still REALLY annoying ...
[05:00] <vahid> oh yea, version 1.98
[05:01] <ubuntu> :D
[05:01] <vahid> Jordan_U, so i'll need to prepare the 64 bit ubuntu on my stick right?
[05:02] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk:

[05:02] <doleyb> After I upgraded to lucid my CLI started to get some weird boldface on keywords, how can I turn that off?
[05:02] <Jordan_U> vahid: You can do that, or you can use the grub-install on the liveCD with "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda" (that is assuming that you still have your Ubuntu partition mounted to /mnt, and that Ubuntu is installed to the drive sda)
[05:03] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Whao, whoa, whoa. You don't need to download extensions and stuff to be protected...
[05:03] <paraintj> Where's a good path to install applications to on Ubuntu?
[05:03] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, ubottu is just a bot, don't chat w/ it...!! ;)
[05:03] <Jordan_U> paraintj: What are you installing?
[05:04] <paraintj> I'm installing teamspeak3
[05:04] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: Are you sure that what clamtk said was a virus really was a virus?  Heuristics are sometimes wrong.  And if you download viruses, well, Firefox can't help you that much.  Chrome is probably your best bet for security.
[05:04] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, First, If you have a virus, it (probably) won't run on Ubuntu. Windows viruses won't work on Linux*
[05:04] <enav> how do i can diagnose the reason of my computer crash????????
[05:04] <paraintj> I was thinking of putting it in /tmp or maybe /opt not sure where people put there applications or where the default path to applications is that apt-get puts them and the synaptic package manager puts them
[05:05] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, If you're really worried, try Chrome or Chromium. They're faster anyway. But Firefox should be secure enough
[05:05] <vishaltelangre> paraintj, /usr/local/share
[05:05] <Appl6> paraintj: Most applications go in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin.
[05:05] <vahid> Jordan_U, should I specify /dev/sda6 at the end of that command as that is the partition, or is sda fine?
[05:05] <Jordan_U> paraintj: teamspeak is available via apt, and if you need a newer version than that a package is probably available
[05:05] <paraintj> ok thanks guys
[05:05] <Jordan_U> vahid: You want to install to the drive's mbr, so just sda
[05:05] <vahid> ok thanks
[05:05] <paraintj> ohh thanks jordan_U I need to find the package for the new teamspeak3 then that would be very nice
[05:06] <Appl6> paraintj: If you do "echo $PATH" then you'll see where Ubuntu looks for applications to run.
[05:06] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, For the most part, though, you shouldn't have to worry about your Ubuntu box getting viruses. That doesn't mean you should do something stupid and open hot_pony_sex.exe just because you don't think it'll work though
[05:06] <paraintj> I did sudo apt-get install teamspeak-clicent but unfortunately it was the old version teamspeak2
[05:06] <Maarten> question.... Which RDP client would one recommend for ubuntu to connect to a Windows Server 20008 R2 Farm that uses Network Level Authentication?
[05:06] <paraintj> oh nice thanks apple
[05:06] <vahid> unrecognised option --root
[05:06] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: OK - I don't see either Chrome or Chromium in my Ubuntu Software Center.  What would be the terminal commands to use in order to acquire and install it?
[05:06] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Chromium should be in there...hm.
[05:07] <vahid> oh, --root-directory... is one option
[05:07] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, It is, actually
[05:07] <vishaltelangre> makk, chrome sucks... I was installed crossover chromium... First time I was used that and within a moment was uninstalled! Firefox is great ever, no challenge to firefox!
[05:08] <makk> vishaltelangre, Nonsense! Chromium is FAR SUPERIOR! (they're both great)
[05:08] <rik__> firefox is getting abit bloated in my opinion
[05:08] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Still don't see it? Have you refreshed your package list?
[05:08] <rik__> why use chrome with crossover when there is a linux version?
[05:09] <makk> Yeah, that's probably why it sucked
[05:09] <vahid> Jordan_U, ok, thats done.  successfuly.  should I reboot now?
[05:09] <Jordan_U> vahid: Yes
[05:09] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: You can do "sudo aptitude install <name>" where <name> is one of: google-chrome-stable, google-chrome-beta, google-chrome-unstable
[05:10] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Appl6: OK - and I probably want "google-chrome-stable", right?
[05:10] <vishaltelangre> makk, how could you say that? Firefox has the superior security than chrome and safari 8 as well support my regional languages as well... Chrome is very bore... And also I use FTP uploading to my site on FF, chrome does it?
[05:10] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: That's the one I use.  I'd recommend it, unless you find yourself needing something special and new.
[05:10] <vahid> Jordan_U, yaaay it works again :D  thanks :)
[05:11] <Jordan_U> vahid: You're welcome :)
[05:11] <Appl6> vishaltelangre: The chances that an argument over browser superiority ends with anything other than a flamewar is virtually nil.
[05:11] <makk> vishaltelangre, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ftp+chrome+extension
[05:11] <makk> But Appl6 is right
[05:12] <makk> Don't get me wrong, I love Fx. I'm actually using it right now because I'm doing some Web Development and I love the Web Developer Toolbar
[05:14] <paraintj> I'm building a custom menu item for the first time to start a application by starting a .sh file. What do I put in for the command? I believe it has to mv to correct directory then run ./example.sh
[05:14] <makk> paraintj, Start it with #!/binsh
[05:14] <paraintj> I'm guessing:  mv /usr/local/bin/Teamspeak3 | ./runscript.sh
[05:14] <vishaltelangre> makk, and what about regional language support, it shows me boxes, when I go to Marathi, regional language of India (.mr utf-8 supported) though I've installed all necesaary languge packs and blah blah... Does chrome synchronizes my bookmarks, history and other things with add-on like Firefox sync or with Ubuntu One?
[05:14] <paraintj> thanks makk
[05:15] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Appl6: OK - that terminal command didn't work - because I don't have the package.  How do I get the package for google-chrome-stable?
[05:15] <makk> paraintj, No, not mv /usr/blah, but cd /usr/blah
[05:15] <Jordan_U> paraintj: Odd, I couldn't find teamspeak 3 packaged anywhere. I guess /opt with a manual install then
[05:15] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, check wheather it been available in lenny
[05:15] <Appl6> paraintj: I think you meant "cd to correct directory".  If you place your application in one of the directories listed in "echo $PATH", then you do not have to cd to the correct directory.
[05:15] <makk> paraintj, mv will move files/folders, cd means change directory
[05:16] <paraintj> Yea thanks for looking Jordan that's real cool of you yea I got it running manuel setting up a custom menu button for the .sh now
[05:16] <makk> Yeah, what he said
[05:16] <rr6937-aafxfhe> vishaltelangre: lenny? what is that?
[05:16] <paraintj> oh shoot your right cd
[05:16] <paraintj> : cd /usr/local/bin/Teamspeak3 | ./runscript.sh
[05:16] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: Lenny is the name of a Debian release.
[05:16] <paraintj> I'm just guessing about that pipe let me research that /binsh
[05:16] <makk> vishaltelangre, Oh dear. I'm not sure about the language support (I think so), but I'm definitely sure that it does the last one
[05:17] <kzona1600> hello
[05:17] <luis_> hola
[05:17] <vishaltelangre> makk, hey btw thanks! cheers...! ;)
[05:17] <kzona1600> pillz here
[05:17] <Appl6> paraintj: You would want to use ';' instead of '|'.  I don't know if you can do that in a custom menu item.  It would be best if you put whatever script you want to run in one of the paths listed in "echo $PATH".
[05:17] <vishaltelangre> makk, love ff too!
[05:18] <makk> vishaltelangre, http://blog.chromium.org/2009/08/bookmarks-here-bookmarks-there.html (but it's default now)
[05:18] <cer> 2
[05:18] <cer> off
[05:18] <cer> quit
[05:19] <xTheGoat121x> My friend's computer... the CD-ROM drive exists on the system but isn't mounting any CDs properly
[05:19] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Apple6: I'm not seeing Lenny either.  I've downloaded all my updates so far too - so I odn't understand.  Is there a URL I can go to in order to obtain Chrome?
[05:19] <luis_> como funciona esto
[05:19] <paraintj> Appl6: ok thanks Appl let me research that echo command and see if I can figure out how to use it
[05:19] <mastaofdisasta> hey guys, I'm new to ubuntu/debian systems... coming from redhat. if I want to boot the OS without X11 I just change the inittab to level 3...
[05:19] <Michael_> Hello
[05:19] <kzona1600> hai
[05:19] <Michael_> Has anyone had success installing ubuntu 10.04 desktop in vmware player?
[05:20] <luis_> hola
[05:20] <mastaofdisasta> would it be a valid and safe way to start ubuntu without X by running "sudo update-rc.d gdm disable 2"
[05:20] <Jordan_U> !boot | mastaofdisasta
[05:20] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, lenny - http://packages.debian.org/stable/
[05:20] <Michael_> Every time I try it just hangs.
[05:21] <thune3> rr6937-aafxfhe: http://www.google.com/chrome
[05:21] <kzona1600> chrome ftw
[05:21] <mrapple> hi, how does one change a folder's group?
[05:21] <rr6937-aafxfhe> thune3: Yeah - I found it.  Thanks!
[05:21] <dsnyders> xTheGoat121x, Does the drive actually spin the CD?  Place a disk in the tray oriented a particular way.  Close the tray, wait, then open it and see if the CD spins.
[05:21] <Appl6> paraintj: "echo" outputs what follows it to stdout (which is displayed in the terminal).  echo $PATH means to display the contents of the PATH variable, which is where Ubuntu looks for applications.
[05:21] <rr6937-aafxfhe> vishaltelangre: Would there be any difference or anything better about the Debian release (Lenny vs. Chrome)?
[05:21] <mrapple> so for example, i want all users in foo_bar to have permissions to /foo/bar
[05:22] <xTheGoat121x> dsnyders, yes, it does.
[05:22] <rr6937-aafxfhe> vishaltelangre: What is "Debian" anyway?
[05:22] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: Lenny is an old release of Debian (the Linux distribution that Ubuntu is based off of).  Lenny has nothing to do with Chrome whatsoever.
[05:22] <paraintj> Appl6: ok thanks so for example - echo $/usr/local/bin/teamspeak3/ ; ./runscript.sh
[05:23] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, nah.. Btw, debian not provide packages for chrome yet...
[05:23] <juan__> can anyone explain to me what the wireless keyring is for?
[05:23] <dsnyders> xTheGoat121x, Have you double checked the connections?
[05:23] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: Sorry, Lenny is not an old release.  It is most recent stable release.  But it still has nothing to do with Chrome.
[05:24] <thune3> rr6937-aafxfhe: google's chrome will setup repo (and a cron job?!?!??!) and provides updates regularly through your normal package management procedure.
[05:24] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, yeah but if you want chrome, try crossover chromium, it's a beta debian package (note: but not from debian)
[05:25] <Appl6> paraintj: No.  Look at the output of "echo $PATH".  It should be a list of absolute paths separated by colons.  Place your runscript.sh in one of those directories, e.g. /usr/local/bin.
[05:25] <vishaltelangre> Appl6, :/ (it's recent brother, I've installed many packages from there)
[05:25] <Appl6> vishaltelangre: You're right, I corrected myself a bit ago.
[05:25] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Uh, or you could just download it from the official Ubuntu repositories and skip the hassle
[05:26] <rr6937-aafxfhe> vishaltelangre: OK - what is the difference between Debian and Ubuntu?  Are they two separate OS's?
[05:26] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, ubuntu is based on debian
[05:26] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Sort of. Think of Ubuntu as a flavor of Debian, only made easier for users
[05:26] <dsnyders> rr6937-aafxfhe, Same OS, different set of add-ons.
[05:26] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: I'm just going to get it straight off the Google Chrome website.  Will this suffice according to what everyone is talking about?
[05:26] <vishaltelangre> !debian | rr6937-aafxfhe
[05:26] <savid> Hi, I'm trying to load the pulseaudio module-bluetooth-discover,  but I get the error "Module initalization failed".  Nothing in /var/log/messages.  How can I debug this further?  Are there any other logs I can look at?
[05:26] <makk> vishaltelangre, http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/9932/wellthen.png
[05:26] <juan__> can anyone explain to me what the wireless keyring is for?
[05:27] <makk> juan__ storing your wireless passwords
[05:27] <philo> hi
[05:27] <philo> looking for the permanent way to set env variable
[05:27] <philo> on 10.4
[05:27] <juan__> makk, and what is the point of a wireless password?
[05:27] <paraintj> Appl6: oh mybad you meant that command literally I thought Path meant the path I needed to type in to work with. Your right I got the paths separated by colons. And I did put the directory that holds the application and the .sh script in one of those paths /usr/local/bin
[05:27] <makk> juan__ When you connect to wireless networks that are password protected
[05:27] <Michael_> can't get live ubuntu or install to work in vmware player.  Any ideas?
[05:28] <kevin> Hi. My wireless card is showing a poor signal and occasionally dropping so I installed linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic (I'm not sure if it helped or not.) -- this has now caused a problem with nvidia drivers. I get "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" -- anyone have any ideas?
[05:28] <makk> juan__ if your wireless is open or you don't use wireless, you should need one
[05:28] <paraintj> App6:  you probably know this but I got /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[05:28] <ubuntubama> bbaak
[05:28] <Appl6> paraintj: OK, so now your custom menu item can simply use the command "runscript.sh".
[05:28] <juan__> makk. what if it is to use my own network?
[05:28] <vishaltelangre> makk, hey good... that's not looking crossover chromium... What's the package you're using?
[05:29] <makk> juan__, Is it password protected? If yes, do you want to type in your password everytime? If no, then use the wireless keyring.
[05:29] <makk> vishaltelangre, The Chromium in the repositories. (Actually, the latest dev version, but the one in the repositories can do it, too, I believe.)
[05:30] <juan__> makk, oh so what ur saying is that ubuntu 10.4 doesn't store the router password anymore?
[05:30] <philo> anyone ?
[05:30] <makk> vishaltelangre, I'm not sure what this crossover chromium mess you're talking about is, but it seems to have given you a bad impression of Chrome/ium
[05:30] <makk> juan__, No, it does. That's what the wireless keyring is
[05:30] <juan__> makk. got it
[05:30] <Appl6> philo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[05:30] <skreet> makk: Crossover Chromium was a wine-and-Chrome package available before Linux builds were possible.
[05:31] <juan__> makk. since i got u here. do u have 10.4 installed?
[05:31] <makk> juan__, If I recall correctly, the wireless keyring is just a subset of the gnome-keyring. The gnome-keyring requires one password, and manages all of your other passwords
[05:31] <makk> juan__, Yup
[05:31] <nsh> i just edited /etc/hosts, and restarted nscd, but it still won't accept it
[05:31] <makk> skreet: Ah. So they're obsolete?
[05:31] <philo> Appl6:  i tried that but it isnt permanent
[05:31] <juan__> makk. how long does it take u to boot up?
[05:31] <nsh> how else can you flush the name cache?
[05:31] <skreet> makk: God, I hope so.
[05:31] <paraintj> Appl6: Appl6 does the .sh file itself have to be in the path /usr/local/bin or will it work in /usr/local/bin/teamspeak3/ ?
[05:31] <skreet> It was pretty not good.
[05:32] <paraintj> Appl6: I get a error at this point with it in ~/teamspeak3/
[05:32] <skreet> Pretty much useful as a 'What is coming for us soon?' preview.  Could not use for daily browsing.
[05:32] <makariolewis> juan__, Longer than I believe it should, to be honest. But it's fast on my other lappy
[05:32] <Appl6> philo: Then I guess you didn't try "that", since it clearly describes how to permanently set an environment variable.
[05:32] <juan__> makariolewis. i have read it suppose to be 10sec but mines like 1 minute long. would u know why?
[05:32] <philo> Appl6:  ??
[05:32] <Appl6> paraintj: If you're trying to run the script (and it sounds like you are), then you need to move the script to /usr/local/bin.
[05:32] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, Listen to skreet: Chromium's probably much better than what you dealt with
[05:32] <nsh> hmm
[05:33] <vishaltelangre> makk, oh... Could you give me exact package-name so as Install it with apt:package_name from firefox?
[05:33] <makariolewis> juan__, Mine takes about a minute as well. What's your hardware?
[05:33] <philo> Appl6:  it is the first page google return ... i tried all the method before coming here
[05:33] <makariolewis> juan__, And is it a new install, or an upgrade?
[05:33] <Appl6> philo: Read the page I gave you the link to.  It tells you how to do it.
[05:33] <bonez2046> how can I resolve this > GPG error: http://download.virtualbox.org lucid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 54422A4B98AB5139
[05:33] <juan__> makariolewis. upgrade. but i did an install also and it didn't make a difference.
[05:33] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, skreet, makk, yeah sure guys... "ll try it... Btw thanks you all!
[05:34] <HektoR> hello guys... is it possible to run 32bit applcation on 64bit ubuntu ?
[05:34] <juan__> makariolewis. maybe it's because it's an hp pavilion dv4
[05:34] <Appl6> philo: If you tried a particular method, and it didn't work, then tell us which method you tried.
[05:34] <philo> Appl6:  are you reading what i am saying ?
[05:34] <skreet> bonez2046: You probably can't, I bet it's an issue with the repo you're trying to download from.  Can you give me the URL?
[05:34] <juan__> makariolewis. that i've got it on.
[05:34] <paraintj> Appl6: ok thanks Appl I'll give it a shot
[05:34] <rcsheets> i'm reading in a grub-related launchpad bug that i need to set the bios_grub flag on a partition using parted. but parted says "invalid token: bios_grub" ... help?
[05:34] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, Don't feel obliged to, but just wanted your [somewhat blind] Chrome hate to dissolve.
[05:35] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: What is the exact command you are running?
[05:35] <makariolewis> juan__, Hm. Let's see. Does it take a minute to boot to the login screen, or from the login screen to the desktop?
[05:35] <bonez2046> skreet it's for the latest version of virtualbox. after I added the repository. I get this error..
[05:35] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: "parted /dev/sda", then within parted, "toggle 1 bios_grub"
[05:36] <juan__> makariolewis. i've got it so i don't have to put the password in.
[05:36] <philo> the pam thing
[05:36] <makariolewis> juan__ Do you have a floppy drive?
[05:36] <philo> my home dont have the require file
[05:36] <HektoR> can anyone help ?
[05:36] <juan__> makariolewis. no
[05:36] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Try "sudo parted /dev/sda set 1 bios_grub on"
[05:36] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: ok, trying ...
[05:36] <skreet> HektoR: Yes.
[05:36] <philo> the pam_environment to be presice
[05:37] <HektoR> skreet: how can i ?
[05:37] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: though i will omit the sudo, since i am running as root.
[05:37] <skreet> HektoR: I don't believe you need any special packages.
[05:37] <skreet> But I could be wrong.
[05:37] <lake> I'm experiencing a slightly annoying problem. I have a panel with a launcher for terminal. When the launcher is clicked, terminal opens. However, terminal does not have focus, meaning when I type, text does not show up in terminal. I'm using xubuntu, btw. This happens with the firefox launcher as well.
[05:37] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Also, do you understand that any data on /dev/sda1 will be lost?
[05:37] <Appl6> philo: Pastebin your pam_environment file.
[05:37] <philo> Appl6:  any idea ?
[05:37] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: yes. it is a 1MB partition (which is apparently way too big!) i created specifically to house grub's embedded bits.
[05:38] <makariolewis> juan__ What happens when you type 'mount /media/floppy 0' into a terminal?
[05:39] <danskubr> hi, im trying to make a bash to make a .XML file from files in a dir, can anyone help with the error here: http://pastebin.com/MaiixXkY ? Thanks
[05:39] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: your suggested command gave me the same error. parted seems only to recognize the following flags: boot/hidden/raid/lvm/lba/palo/prep
[05:39] <makariolewis> juan__, I'm asking because there's a bug where Lucid checks for that floppy drive and it slows down boottime
[05:39] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: What version of parted are you using?
[05:39] <xTheGoat121x> What has 10.04 replaced gnome-volume-manager with?
[05:39] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: 2.2
[05:40] <skreet> xTheGoat121x: gvfs, I think..?
[05:40] <skreet> But that was before 10.04...
[05:40] <juan__> makariolewis, u know what i think i've got that option for boot process on. would it make a difference if i took it off?
[05:40] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, skreet, makk, reinstalled that crossover chromium to show how it is, chack this screenshot: http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3580/screenshotsfz.png
[05:41] <makariolewis> juan__, That's the way to resolve the problem, actually. Try that
[05:41] <skreet> vishaltelangre:  yay built-in wine without fonts.
[05:41] <juan__> makariolewis. ok i will thanks. later
[05:41] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, So thaaaaaaaat's why you think it sucks
[05:42] <skreet> crossover chromium *does* suck.
[05:42] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Do you have a GUID partition table?
[05:42] <skreet> just install linux chrome.
[05:42] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, Say no to crossover chromium!
[05:42] <skreet> http://www.google.com/chrome/
[05:42] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: I think so, but I'm not entirely sure. How can I tell?
[05:42] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, and also takes my memory and CPU to process itself... Hence I was hate that...
[05:43] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: This bios_grub stuff I'm doing is based on the premise that I am using GPT.
[05:43] <bnagy> so, for some reason my lvm2 package doesn't contain a cluster locking library, although googling suggests it should - can anyone help?
[05:43] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, tell me the original package for latest chrome package in ubuntu's repository so as I install it with aptitude...
[05:43] <zamarax> hello, just recently I tried switching my pylmouth themes which worked fine, since then though the GDM login screen is this very basic and ugly design, even when switching back to the original, anyone know how to get it back to how it was when I first installed unbuntu?
[05:44] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, chromium-browser
[05:44] <skreet> alternatively, you can get the official google chrome from chrome.google.com.
[05:44] <vishaltelangre> skreet, But the installation file of that is with .deb extension... Btw, installing newer chrome, Thanks you too!
[05:44] <skreet> vishaltelangre: .deb files are what Ubuntu uses.
[05:45] <skreet> should launch GDebi Installer
[05:45] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: sudo gdisk /dev/sda
[05:45] <Appl6> skreet: I think he meant that he wanted it from the repos so updates would be handled automatically.
[05:45] <skreet> Appl6: Ah.
[05:45] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: i do not seem to have gdisk.
[05:45] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: You'll probably need to apt-get install gdisk first
[05:46] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: righto :)
[05:46] <philo> does chrome use gtk or qt ?
[05:46] <Jordan_U> philo: gtk
[05:46] <vishaltelangre> skreet, yeah I know, but i think[...], agree with Appl6!
[05:46] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: is there any trickery needed to apt-get something from the installer environment, aside from chrooting to /target first?
[05:47] <thune3> chrome from google.com/chrome installs a repository for updates automatically
[05:47] <skreet> thune3: does it?
[05:47] <skreet> sweet.
[05:47] <thune3> yes it does
[05:47] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: You don't even need to chroot to /target, modifications to the files (like when installing packages) are kept in RAM so / looks like a normal writable filesystem, untill you shut down :)
[05:48] <thune3> it alsow installs a cron job ?!?!?! to make sure the repo is correct, even if you upgrade ubuntu!
[05:48] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: oh, didn't know that. i am chrooted to /target, fwiw, and apt-get seemed slightly unhappy about openpty() not working, but gdisk is now installed.
[05:48] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, skreet, makk, Appl6 Thanks friends... 'll install and try chromium-browser as well | and also uninstalled the crossover chromium and deleted it's debian package file too! Cheers!
[05:48] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, No problem.
[05:49] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: the first thing gdisk printed was a partition table scan. "MBR: MBR only" followed by BSD, APM, and GPT all "not present"
[05:49] <philo> Jordan_U:  wondering why they didnt use Qt... i thought google was invested in Qt
[05:50] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: Then "Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format." etc etc, potentially destructive, etc.
[05:50] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Well, you don't have GPT :)
[05:50] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: What is the problem you are having with grub?
[05:51] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: i had thought that i was affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/580851
[05:51] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: after an apparently successful install using the alternate CD, and setting up software raid1, I am getting a BusyBox prompt upon first reboot.

[05:52] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: If you're getting to busybox then grub has done it's job (load the kernel) and is long gone
[05:53] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: well, sorry to bring you along on part of my wild goose chase then :|

[05:54] <skreet> In compizconfig I can't seem to change the Alt<Mouse3> binding for Window Menu.  No m atter what I do it revers.
[05:54] <skreet> reverts*
[05:54] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: the only solid facts i know are that this is 100% reproducible for me with the pair of 500GB disks i am using, and that it did not happen when i followed the same steps using a pair of 40GB SSDs.
[05:54] <phawx> When i test my webcam in Skype, it work fine, but I'm unable to make a video call.  Anyone else have the same problem?
[05:55] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: that led me to suspect the "big disks get GPT" problem referenced in the launchpad bug i was looking at.
[05:55] <Poizon> hello guys, i have a problem... the users on my server can't do passwd... i've look for permissions
[05:55] <Poizon> but i see them right
[05:55] <rcsheets> Poizon: do they get an error message?
[05:55] <Poizon> yes
[05:55] <rcsheets> Poizon: ... what does it say?
[05:56] <Poizon> rchsheets let me paste it on internet
[05:56] <rcsheets> yes, please not in the channel.
[05:56] <Poizon> http://pastebin.com/9ALGMjd3
[05:56] <rcsheets> at least if it's longer than a line
[05:57] <rcsheets> Poizon: can you reproduce this with users whose usernames are not entirely made up of numbers?
[05:57] <Poizon> yes
[05:57] <Adman65> Hey, I've installed monit. After doing /etc/init.d/monit start, I can't find any monit processes running via `ps aux.` what gives?
[05:57] <rcsheets> Poizon: have you customized your PAM configuration in some way?
[05:58] <Poizon> http://pastebin.com/Kz4DceHu
[05:58] <Poizon> rcsheets no
[05:58] <Poizon> i can do it as root
[05:58] <Poizon> i mean change their passwords
[05:58] <rcsheets> what are the permissions on /usr/bin/passwd ?
[05:59] <Poizon> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37140 Jun  3 08:55 /usr/bin/passwd
[05:59] <rcsheets> that's the problem
[05:59] <aplund> needs suid
[05:59] <Poizon> rcsheets ? why?
[06:00] <Piccolo48> Ok, I want to delete my ubuntu 32 so I can replace it with ubuntu 64.  Is deleting ubuntu 32 easy?
[06:00] <rcsheets> Poizon: sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/passwd
[06:00] <rcsheets> Poizon: passwd must run as root to do its job
[06:00] <Piccolo48> I keep reading sites that say I should delete my ubuntu without my windows disc, which I do not have
[06:00] <glick> Piccolo48, theres little point to use ubuntu 64 unless you need a crap load of ram
[06:00] <Piccolo48> *shouldnt
[06:00] <makariolewis> All right, I'm out guys.
[06:01] <Piccolo48> Well, my ubuntu is having connection issues so I am seeing that if ubuntu 64 in any way helps
[06:01] <glick> Piccolo48, it wont
[06:01] <glick> what kind of connection issues?
[06:01] <Poizon> rcsheets you saved my life dude
[06:01] <Poizon> thanks a lot
[06:01] <Poizon> =)
[06:01] <rcsheets> Poizon: well i guess you have to be my servant now. :)
[06:01] <Piccolo48> Alright, so your just saying dont bother it wont help in any way with internet wifi issues
[06:01] <rcsheets> Poizon: also you're welcome
[06:02] <Piccolo48> Oh, I thought it was because of a broadcom modem, downloading the appropriate packages didnt help with it though
[06:02] <justin__> if i upgrade to 10.04 from 9.1 will it wipe my drive?
[06:02] <bnagy> so can anyone help me track down this file?
[06:02] <glick> Piccolo48, most likely not, its just a setting or config issue most likely, or your using a piece of hardware not supported under linux
[06:02] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: did you happen to look at my screenshot?
[06:02] <bnagy> I am looking for liblvm2clusterlock.so which is supposed to be part of lvm2
[06:02] <Piccolo48> Ok, I think I read NDISwrapper could help
[06:02] <drizzt_> justin__, no
[06:02] <justin__> thanks
[06:03] <glick> Piccolo48, did you look online to see if the chipset is supported?
[06:03] <Piccolo48> NDISwrapper basically uses my windows driver to connect for me, correct?
[06:04] <Piccolo48> I think I asked for help on this issue, and they gave me a bcm43xx page to solve it. But I did everything there and it didnt help
[06:04] <dave33> !flash
[06:04] <progesterone> Question: Window tab highlighte/blink when pidgin get new messsage. The blink is not that obvious and doesn't attact my attention. How can I customise Ubuntu window blinking?
[06:04] <phawx> Ive got a video0 installed,  but i cant seem to do any video calls with friends.  Anyone able to assist or have an idea
[06:04] <glick> Piccolo48, what is it a wireless card?
[06:04] <Piccolo48> yes
[06:05] <drizzt_> progesterone, it's not ubuntu, it's your window manager
[06:05] <Piccolo48> it is wireless
[06:05] <glick> did you just buy it?
[06:05] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Yes, but I don't have any ideas to help :(
[06:05] <glick> i just bought one too
[06:05] <glick> and it works perfectly just plugged it in and it worked
[06:05] <Piccolo48> The wireless already works well in windows.  Hence why I am inquiring about if an NDISwrapper could help
[06:05] <darkangel> is anyone having problems with downloading the open office update on lucid lynx???? how can i download the updates through my terminal??? t.y. for the help
[06:05] <glick> possibly Piccolo48 but i hate using ndiswrapper
[06:05] <aplund> Piccolo48: it may, but the better option is to use a native driver
[06:05] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: ok, thanks anyway. i'll keep trying. perhaps these specific disks are a problem. i'll try other ones.
[06:06] <glick> id rather get hardware thats supported natively
[06:06] <drizzt_> glick, you don/t look for hardware for your OS
[06:06] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: do you know if a /boot is generally needed when / is on softraid?
[06:06] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Not with grub2
[06:06] <glick> drizzt_, ?
[06:07] <glick> what do you mean drizzt_ ?
[06:07] <darkangel> how do i d/l system updates through terminal??
[06:07] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: so i should theoretically be able to have two partitions per physical disk, each used for raid, and do raid1 volumes using each, and have one be / and the other be swap, and boot successfully?
[06:07] <drizzt_> you choose OS which support the hardware, not vice versa
[06:07] <aplund> darkangel: apt-get update
[06:07] <Piccolo48> I dont think I am the only one who had this issue.  I've read sites that went as far as to claim it was a bug, but I dont know if there are any patches or anything I should download.  I have absolutely no option that isnt just taking shots in the dark, but the NDISwrapper which may be complicated but seems more guaranteed to work
[06:07] <glick> drizzt_, when i  buy new hardware i research that it is supported in linux
[06:08] <phawx> gah!
[06:08] <phawx> heh
[06:08] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Yes
[06:08] <darkangel> thank you, im having a problem d/l the open office files in the system udpate on lucid lynx
[06:08] <achilles> where does the deb files go when i install a package using sudo apt-get install
[06:08] <achilles> ..?
[06:08] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: ok, thanks. that at least reduces the number of steps i have to perform in this install i keep repeating :)
[06:08] <drizzt_> achilles, outdated mirror?
[06:08] <Piccolo48> I think I had issues attempting to use the ndiswrapper at sourcefourge.  Do you have any reccomendations for a good ndiswrapper to download?
[06:09] <achilles> drizzt_, i didn't get it..?
[06:09] <glick> unfortunatly im not too familier with NDISwrapper because i make sure i get hardware that works natively
[06:09] <aplund> achilles: /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:09] <drizzt_> achilles, you may use 3rd party mirroooooor which is not updated
[06:09] <Adman65> is there some program I can use to read my mail locally ?
[06:09] <Shamael> ola ikonia bruder
[06:10] <drizzt_> achilles, which error do you get?
[06:10] <h0rnman> Piccolo48, if you are using a broadcom adapter, then I wish you the best of luck and advise you try to get it working with NDISWrapper (apt-get install ndiswrapper and ndisgtk)
[06:11] <achilles> aplund, thanks

[06:12] <litropy> does anyone have an eeepc?
[06:12] <glick> i do litropy
[06:12] <Piccolo48> uh, I cant install it off of terminal online if I cant connnect it online...could you give my a link Mr. HornMAN?
[06:13] <nanotube> Piccolo48: what's your chipset?
[06:13] <g0st> help
[06:13] <nanotube> Piccolo48: version?
[06:14] <Piccolo48> 4312?
[06:14] <litropy> glick, what model? I have a question about the charger for a 1005ha. not sure if you have the same charger. But the blue light goes out every day or so. Then, after I unplug it, wait ~10 mins, then plug it back in, the blue light, and the charger, is back for another day or so. Any ideas? this has happened with 2 chargers. #eeepc is almost silent at this time of night.
[06:14] <slyrus_> I'm trying to get bluetooth up and running and I see some references to hidd, on the one hand, and the fact that this seems to be deprecated, on the other. any suggestions on where to go?
[06:15] <glick> litropy, yeah i think when the eeepc overheats it shuts off
[06:15] <nanotube> Piccolo48: and ubuntu version? and have you tried installing the sta driver?
[06:15] <glick> oh you mean the blue light on the charger?
[06:15] <jetienne> q. i got nepomukservices using my cpu/disk all the time, how to get rid of it ?
[06:15] <nUboon2Age> Piccolo48: According to Synaptic I'm using ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 and ndiswrapper-common v1.54-2ubuntu1, and I just got it from the standard repositories afaik
[06:15] <wildbat> jetienne, kill it
[06:16] <progesterone> drizzt_ Hi are you still there?
[06:16] <jetienne> wildbat: i want to uninstall it
[06:16] <drizzt_> ?
[06:17] <litropy> glick, this happens when it's not connected to the eeepc.
[06:17] <philo> i am getting /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so

[06:17] <wildbat> jetienne, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1052816
[06:17] <nUboon2Age> Piccolo48: I also second the recommendation to use ndisgtk -- the gui wrapper.  Works well and takes care of the details effectively
[06:17] <jetienne> wildbat: looking
[06:17] <drizzt_> philo, 64 driver on 32-bit system>?
[06:17] <glick> litropy, im not sure never seen that
[06:17] <rcsheets> how worried should i be if Disk Utility shows my disk's SMART Status as (with a green dot) "Disk has a few bad sectors" ?
[06:18] <philo> drizzt_:  more the oposite ...  64 bits system but trying to lauch a 32 bit program
[06:18] <rcsheets> also is SMART over USB even reliable?
[06:18] <jetienne> wildbat: "go into system settings then click on the advanced tab" where is that ?

[06:18] <litropy> glick, thx for your help. Have a good night.
[06:19] <Gryllida> hello?
[06:19] <rcsheets> hello.
[06:19] <nanotube> Gryllida: o/
[06:19] <Gryllida> how do I turn font smoothing off in Firefox?
[06:19] <drizzt_> philo, all packages have 312-birt version
[06:20] <drizzt_> Gryllida, short ansssswer: you dddon't
[06:20] <Gryllida> drizzt_: but it's uncomfortable to read, I turned it off elsewhere
[06:20] <glick> sorry couldnt help more litropy
[06:20] <philo> drizzt_: i cant find the said lib using the packetmanager
[06:20] <nUboon2Age> Piccolo48: can you connect by ethernet?  Its very tough to take all the steps if you're unable to get on-line, because to get drivers, synaptic, etc.  Possible, but not easy.
[06:20] <nanotube> Gryllida: just firefox, or everything? there's system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts...
[06:20] <progesterone> drizzt_ How can I customise my window manager to get window blinking more obvious? I use kde.
[06:21] <litropy> glick, no worries. that you even responded means something :)
[06:21] <Gryllida> nanotube: I turned it off in the place you're saying about but Firefox ignored my wish to turn it off despite several reboots
[06:21] <litropy> seeya peeps.
[06:21] <drizzt_> progesterone, just dig in settings, in KDE it just should be somewhere
[06:21] <progesterone> drizzt_ sorry. I use gnome.
[06:21] <phawx> anyone?
[06:21] <drizzt_> firefox use sit's own antialiasing for pages and whole UI
[06:22] <Gryllida> phawx: yes?
[06:22] <phawx> When i try to open camorama i get an error that says could not connect to video device (/dev/video0).  from what i can tell,  /dev/video0 does exist.  anyone got any suggestions
[06:22] <drizzt_> progesterone, then try gconf-editor, it may be hidden there
[06:22] <Gryllida> drizzt_: agreed but their live chat support said it is "According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531996 , it's an issue with Cairo and/or gnome " thus they can't tell me how to fix
[06:23] <Piccolo48> Alright, thanks hornman and nuboon and nano, I installed the stuff and now I will experiment
[06:23] <progesterone> drizzt_ Thanks
[06:23] <h0rnman> good luck, Piccolo48  :)
[06:24] <nanotube> Gryllida: hrm... no idea sorry. maybe you can try stock firefox off mozilla.com and see if that behaves any different?
[06:24]  * h0rnman just loves wireless issues
[06:24] <phawx> Gryllida,  you got any advice?
[06:27] <Gryllida> phawx: nanotube: this is clear install, I even tried firefox from mozilla website aalong with the one that came with the OS
[06:28] <phawx> Gryllida,  what? :P
[06:28] <Gryllida> ?
[06:28] <phawx> you said myname and nanotube 's name in the same line
[06:29] <Gryllida> phawx: ah you were asking about your issue
[06:29] <Gryllida> phawx: install camorama in applications > software centre
[06:29] <nanotube> Gryllida: well... in that case... you may be kinda sol...
[06:29] <phawx> yeah, i did install camorama
[06:30] <Gryllida> phawx: latest?
[06:30] <phawx> yeah
[06:30] <nanotube> phawx: what are the permissions on the /dev/video0 device?
[06:30] <Gryllida> >.^
[06:30] <philo> can any one help find the 32 bit version of usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
[06:31] <phawx> crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2010-06-08 20:18 video0
[06:31] <nanotube> phawx: are you a member of the video group?
[06:31] <nanotube> phawx: (run 'groups' command from terminal to find out)
[06:32] <phawx> nope, dont see video in the list
[06:32] <nanotube> phawx: well... add yourself to the video group
[06:32] <nanotube> phawx: or... chmod the video0 device to o+rw
[06:33] <Gryllida> nanotube: how do I fix smoothing issue?
[06:33] <vishaltelangre> nanotube, check System > Administration > users and groups > manage groups > video > check a tick for you
[06:33] <nanotube> Gryllida: no idea, sorry...
[06:33] <Gryllida> phawx ^
[06:33] <Gryllida> nanotube: hmm
[06:34] <nanotube> vishaltelangre: that's not for me. :P
[06:34] <phawx> it says im already a group
[06:34] <Gryllida> nanotube: very uncomfortable, actually.
[06:34] <Gryllida> nanotube: do you have font smoothing in your firefox now?
[06:34] <phawx> oh wait
[06:34] <nanotube> Gryllida: probably... i have my fonts setting set to "subpixel smoothing"...
[06:35] <vishaltelangre> nanotube, Oh sorry... I'm going for sleep now! O_o
[06:35] <nanotube> vishaltelangre: :)
[06:35] <chandru_in> I tried the instructions given here http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8914023&postcount=4 to configure my Tata Photon+ connection.  However, it does not connect.  Is there any photon+ users here who can help?
[06:35] <phawx> ok, im added to the group
[06:35] <nanotube> phawx: well... try it again i guess.
[06:35] <nUboon2Age> h0rnman: imo Jockey needs to be fixed so it 'just works'.  That way we wouldn't have so many wireless issues.  do you agree?
[06:35] <phawx> smae thing
[06:36] <nanotube> phawx: if you open a terminal and run 'groups' does video show up?
[06:36] <phawx> no.
[06:36] <nanotube> phawx: well then... i guess you need to logout and relogin for the setting to take effect, or something.
[06:37] <phawx> ok.  brb
[06:37] <nanotube> phawx: that is,... assuming you correctly added yourself to the video group
[06:37] <skar_> hi my screen (AOC LM720) does not detect xrandr suppplies max res of 1024x768 but my screen supports up to 1280x1024, additionally i am using GeForce2 MX 220 Integrated under 10.04, must i create a xorg.conf for me to set my monitor's propper res?
[06:37] <slyrus_> Ok, get the mouse up and running... now what about this darn keyboard?
[06:37] <Gryllida> nanotube: please try to set hinting to yes and smoothing to none and to observe whether firefox ignores your preference
[06:38] <phawx> nanotube, i just logged out and logged back in,  still doesnt owrk :(
[06:38] <nanotube> phawx: and does 'groups' show video as one of your groups?
[06:38] <Gryllida> phawx: reboot
[06:39] <phawx> yeah,  video is listed in 'groups'
[06:39] <vishaltelangre> skar_, To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[06:40] <nanotube> phawx: well... then try rebooting as gryllida says... though i'm not sure if that'll do anything. :) actually... before you reboot, try 'sudo chmod o+rw /dev/video0'. then see if that makes it work.
[06:40] <phawx> brb
[06:41] <phawx> oh, did i mention that it works in the skype options to test the video?
[06:41] <Gryllida> nanotube: can you try to set it to no smoothing and restart Firefox, will it change anything? as for me, it just ignores my preference
[06:41] <phawx> brb
[06:41] <featherofmaat> possibly a stupid question: does anyone know of any problems running UNR Lucid on a fullsize laptop other than potential issues with Maximus?
[06:41] <rajeev_> how can you open two file browsers in the same window, there is a shortcut key I forgot?
[06:42] <vishaltelangre> rajeev_, in nautilus ctrl+t
[06:42] <zamarax> or VIEW - EXTRA PANE
[06:42] <vishaltelangre> rajeev_, it'll open a new tab as like you open new tabs in your firefox!
[06:42] <nanotube> Gryllida: tried... firefox ignores the settings.
[06:42] <rajeev_> not a tab, but a window both are visible
[06:43] <Gryllida> nanotube: so? what do I do? It is difficult for me to read smoothed fonts.
[06:43] <nanotube> Gryllida: hrm... try following some/any of the suggestions referenced in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1200992
[06:43] <rajeev_> vishaltelangre_, you can see file on both at the same time
[06:44] <nanotube> Gryllida: though most of the people there seem to be trying to get smoothing /working/ rather than /off/... the idea of creating a .fonts.conf with the requisite settings could be your ticket
[06:44] <phawx> nothin :(
[06:44] <Coded1> how do i find out each file contained in a particular package?  i installed libtorrent-dev and am looking for the headder file but cant find it in /usr/src/include if i can query the pkg then i might be able to track it down
[06:44] <nanotube> phawx: did you try the chmod?
[06:44] <phawx> yeah, did that before reboot
[06:44] <nanotube> Coded1: dpkg -L packagename
[06:45] <chandru_in> It is a Huawei EC1260 USB modem if that helps and I'm running Ubuntu 10.04
[06:45] <phawx> the weird thing is,  if i go into the skype options > video settings > test video, it works
[06:45] <nanotube> phawx: well... i am stumped, then. try googling :)
[06:45] <phawx> ive been looking
[06:45] <skar_> my other computer with freshly installed 10.04 did not have ssh client, when it tried to install openssh-client it wants to remove all kinds of things like ethtool, firefox-3.5-gnome-support hal linux-header libbind9 mesa-utils and the list goes on...
[06:45] <rajeev_> how can you open two file browsers in the same window, there is a shortcut key I forgot? you can see file on both at the same time, unlike ctrl+t
[06:45] <vishaltelangre> rajeev_, extra pane (F3)
[06:46] <Coded1> nanotube thanks worked like a charm
[06:46] <rajeev_> thanks Vishal
[06:46] <red2kic> Anybody know a nice command that'll do a batch rmdir on empty directories found in a specified path?
[06:46] <nanotube> Coded1: np :)
[06:46] <vishaltelangre> rajeev_ :) Indian?
[06:48] <chandru_in> Does 10.04 have any known issues with mobile broadbands?
[06:48] <rajeev_> yup
[06:49] <nanotube> red2kic: something like "find ./yourtargetdir -type d -exec rmdir {}" probably. (man find for details... and be sure to try this on a temporary test directory first)
[06:49] <red2kic> nanotube: Mkay. Will give it a whirl on the testDirectory/
[06:50] <nanotube> red2kic: gl :)

[06:50] <xarvh> question: I have a BCM4311 wireless, it has just installed the drivers and it can find the most powerful available networks, but can't connect. Is it a problem of antenna power? Under windows XP it works
[06:50] <Sam_Fisher> Any Aussies here? Need Australian advice on Ubuntu
[06:51] <red2kic> nanotube: What's the command for current directory? (ie find . ) ?
[06:51] <Gryllida> nanotube: ok but that file only contains hinting settings while I want to turn SMOOTHING off
[06:51] <Sam_Fisher> xarvh, could be they are protected
[06:51] <nanotube> find . would work, to find stuff within current dir.

[06:51] <xarvh> Sam_Fisher: no, it's my own wifi network! ^^
[06:51] <red2kic> john__: That only print the working directory. :3
[06:52] <Sam_Fisher> xarvh, ahh you blocked yourself! LOL
[06:52] <theadmin> ...Ubottu is not replying to me, what on earth is going on? Could someone give me the "resetpanels" factoid please?
[06:53] <theadmin> I'm trying to msg her and she's silent
[06:53] <Sam_Fisher> Any Australians here?

[06:53] <theadmin> red2kic: Thanks
[06:53] <coolmadmax> Sam_Fisher join computerbank
[06:53] <red2kic> theadmin: Np.
[06:53] <Sam_Fisher> coolmadmax, is it on freenode?
[06:53] <red2kic> nanotube: "find . -type d -exec rmdir {}" does not work? o.o
[06:54] <coolmadmax> yes
[06:54] <keiichi_dono> Quick question. Canonical made a development tool, what is it caled?
[06:54] <keiichi_dono> It uses Python and GTK.
[06:54] <Sam_Fisher> xarvh, I am having wicked network troubles today also. Now the wired connection is dead.
[06:54] <theadmin> red2kic: Obviously it does not :P
[06:54] <theadmin> red2kic: You have to hard-quote teh {} thingy
[06:54] <red2kic> theadmin: Why not? I'm not familiar with find. :(
[06:55] <theadmin> nanotube: find . -type d -exec rmdir '{}' \;
[06:55] <Gryllida> nanotube: ok but that file only contains hinting settings while I want to turn SMOOTHING off ------- are you sure that this is the full solution?
[06:55] <red2kic> theadmin: What is the \; for?
[06:56] <theadmin> red2kic: the ending bang (ends the -exec parameter)
[06:56] <phawx> i wonder something
[06:57] <Sam_Fisher> phawx just ask don't wonder
[06:57] <red2kic> theadmin: Awesome. It worked. So I want to add that to aliases. Will \; be need too?
[06:57] <keiichi_dono> Anyone have an answer to my question?
[06:57] <theadmin> red2kic: Very well then, something like this will work: alias rmempty='find . -type d -exec rmdir \'{}\' \;'
[06:57] <Sam_Fisher> xarvh, here still?
[06:58] <nanotube> theadmin: ah thanks. :) been a while since i did anything with find's args backsubstitution :)
[06:58] <theadmin> ...meh this doesnt
[06:58] <vishaltelangre> keiichi_dono, you know about it, then why not you search and tell us too?
[06:58] <nanotube> Gryllida: well, apparently not. i'm just throwing out some ideas for you. i personally have no clue "what the solution is"...
[06:58] <theadmin> red2kic: alias rmempty="find . -type d -exec rmdir '{}' \;'"
[06:58] <red2kic> theadmin: It's funny how I tried to find this on Intertubes and I get bunch of Windows GUI software doing the same thing what I know linux are capable of in a single command. :)
[06:58] <keiichi_dono> I know about it but I don't know the name. Can't find anything without the name. vishaltelangre
[06:59] <theadmin> red2kic: You can put ANYTHING in a single command, thanks to && and ;
[06:59] <inspiron> how do i check what gcc glib libc etc versions are needed by a module which I want to compile against some kernel headers?
[06:59] <nanotube> keiichi_dono: development of what?
[06:59] <red2kic> theadmin: Running a test on alias.
[06:59] <xarvh> Sam_Fisher: yes =(
[06:59] <Zeu5> hi how do i read the history log of this channel? i need to search for a previus answer i got
[06:59] <theadmin> Zeu5: You can search http://irclogs.ubuntu.com
[06:59] <vishaltelangre> keiichi_dono, had you checked on canonical's website for that?
[06:59] <Zeu5> tks theadmin
[07:00] <keiichi_dono> Yes, but I find nothing.
[07:00] <Sam_Fisher> wow all the way back to 2004
[07:00] <keiichi_dono> If no one knows then that's fine...
[07:00] <Sam_Fisher> Better be careful what I admit to....
[07:00] <theadmin> Sam_Fisher: :P
[07:01] <inspiron> anyone?
[07:01] <red2kic> theadmin: Great. Everything went smooth. Thanks. +1 ;)
[07:01] <nanotube> Zeu5: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC
[07:01] <Sam_Fisher> keiichi_dono, sORRY LOOKS LIKE NO ONE DOES
[07:01] <vishaltelangre> keiichi_dono, :) Try to google it out! Don't get nervous! ;)
[07:01] <nanotube> Zeu5: more directly... http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[07:01] <theadmin> red2kic: No problem
[07:01] <theadmin> Sam_Fisher: capslock :/
[07:01] <Sam_Fisher> keiichi_dono, maybe you can think of one more bit of info?
[07:02] <keiichi_dono> It is for "quick and easy" development.
[07:04] <inspiron> how do i check what gcc glib libc etc versions are needed by a module which I want to compile against some kernel headers?
[07:07] <qm7> Hello. Is there a way to copy my entire harddrive to an external hard drive, WHILE im using the harddrive?
[07:07] <wildbat> !backup | qm7
[07:08] <didi> Is there a way to take the keyboard indicator off?
[07:08] <wildbat> !clone | qm7

[07:09] <phawx> thats mine and it's got a green check next to it
[07:10] <qm7> wildbat: I need to do more then replicate my packages. I need ALL files and settings copied. Is this possible?
[07:10] <_Christian> Hi, how i can view, my ram, my cpu, etc. on console (shell)
[07:10] <_Christian> ?
[07:11] <Gnea> _Christian: free (for ram), cat /proc/cpuinfo (for cpu)
[07:11] <didi> _Christian: cat /proc/cpinfo is a start
[07:11] <wildbat> qm7, rsync, or tar and untar~ which got links in the !backup
[07:11] <phawx> hmm
[07:11] <phawx> tryin to figure this shite out
[07:14] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Can someone help me with something?  I just ran clamtk - and it found 4 possible infections in the Cache of my browser again ...
[07:15] <duke_> = =
[07:15] <randerzander> is there a way to enable terminal window transparency without enabling desktop effects/compiz?
[07:15] <rr6937-aafxfhe> I want to know if these are really viruses or not - as clamtk calls them "possible infections".
[07:15] <duke_> = = 好久没上了...
[07:15] <steven89> What is the best rdbms for Ubuntu?
[07:15] <_Christian> Tanks alot
[07:15] <rr6937-aafxfhe> It's weird - because this is the same thing that was happening when I was using Firefox.  That is why I switched to using Google Chrome - because I thought I would no longer have this problem by doing so ...
[07:16] <steven89> !rdbms
[07:16] <crdlb> randerzander: there's no way to get real transparency without a compositing manager
[07:16] <nerve> Hello Everyone..Strange as it seems when I set my visual effects to Normal or any other except "None" they revert back to "None" on a reboot"
[07:16] <phawx> pidgen or empathy?
[07:16] <theadmin> nerve: Append "compiz --replace" to your profile, I guess.
[07:16] <randerzander> crdlb, thanks
[07:16] <crdlb> randerzander: you can get fake transparency (just showing the background image), or you could enable metacity's compositing manager
[07:18] <rr6937-aafxfhe> The file names in the cache are f_00018 (Status = PUA.Script.Packed-1), f_00023 (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2), f_00001d (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2), f_00024 (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2).  Can anyone give any insight into this situation?
[07:18] <Zwei> Hi, I'm a new linux user. I've read that linux does not require antivirus software but some do exist. I'd just like someone's opinion on the matter...
[07:18] <nerve> @theadmin : Its done. Thank You..!!
[07:18] <Zwei> Or there an article I should read?
[07:19] <nerve> @ theadmin Thank You
[07:19] <Zwei> s/Or /Or is /
[07:19] <rr6937-aafxfhe> does anyone know if these are really viruses?
[07:20] <red2kic> !antivirus | Zwei
[07:20] <theadmin> Zwei: Most antivirus software for Linux is designed against Windows viruses so you don't infect other machines
[07:20] <red2kic> Zwei: If you're concerned for weeping users on Windows, then yeah, you could install and scan your files when you download them. Windows viruses have NO EFFECTS on linux machines. :)
[07:20] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: There are 9 known viruses for Linux, 4 of them are broken by now, other 5 need root priveleges to work :P
[07:20] <rr6937-aafxfhe> anyone?
[07:21] <Zwei> red2kic, theadmin: thanks :)
[07:21] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: so what is that all about - when clamtk detects "viruses" in my browser cache?  Are these really viruses?  And what do the 9 viruses for Linux do exactly?
[07:22] <chandru_in> I also find that when I connect my WLAN dongle it gets detected as a storage device and the modem never connects.
[07:22] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: I don't know many details, but mainly they are your good old rimm-riffers. And clamav scans against Windows viruses AFAIK
[07:23] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, which are they, any article on them?
[07:23] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: I read somewhere, and forgot where
[07:24] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: what do you mean by "rimm-riffers"?  The file names in the cache are f_00018 (Status = PUA.Script.Packed-1), f_00023 (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2), f_00001d (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2), f_00024 (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2).  Can anyone give any insight into this situation? Are these really viruses?
[07:24] <prymal> how so I set a custom port in /etc/hosts ie. the mahchine I'm trying to sshh to uses port 2222 not 22
[07:24] <red2kic> prymal: ssh -p 2222 ?
[07:24] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: I can get rid of them easily by simply emptying my browser cache, but ...
[07:24] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Might be browser exploits judging by names. rimm-riffer is something that deletes a lot of stuff (mainly by running a disguised "rm -rf /*" command or "rm -rf ~/*")
[07:25] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, skreet, makk, One question friends, "ll chrome-browser support HTML5 and CSS3?
[07:25] <prymal> red2kic: in host file so I can just type "ssh xxx" to get in to the mahchine, currently it's ip hostname but with custom port that doens't work.
[07:26] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: Chrome is the only one known to support HTML5.
[07:26] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: OK - what do you mean by browser exploits?  Are they going to be destructive to my system?  What browser can I use besides Firefox and Chrome - where I am not going to have this problem?  Which browser besides these would you recommend - among the choices in the Ubuntu Software Center?
[07:26] <shawncm217> What is the appropriate channel for Ubuntu One Music Store support? I would like to know how to bypass the mp3 plug-in prompt.
[07:26] <linux> junauza.com/2008/12/5-known-linux-anti-virus-software-for.ht  this list 5 i think
[07:26] <thune3> rr6937-aafxfhe: i would suggest determining what site you are going to that has these questionable payloads, and take care to avoid it. You are likely not at risk, but perfectly safe browsing through minefields does not exist.
[07:26] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, no problem, I'll google for that... Thanks for info that there are 9 known viruses...
[07:26] <chandru_in> Is there anyway to disable zerocd feature in ubuntu 10.04 without installing additional packages?
[07:27] <red2kic> prymal: And what happen if the internal IP change?  You'll change that manually too? Afaik hosts are just for hosts, not ports.
[07:27] <holmser_> I was gifted an older dual xenon server, and I have been trying to install 10.04 server on it without any success.  It won't boot from a known good CD.
[07:27] <holmser_> anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot?
[07:27] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Firefox is my favorite... browser exploits... most they can do on Linux is make your browser window jump around like crazy, also please install the WOT addon to ensure the safety of webpages (available for Firefox, IE (yuck) and Google-Chrome): www.mywot.org
[07:28] <red2kic> theadmin: Don't utter that Browser-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named word here. Thanks. :P
[07:28] <theadmin> red2kic: It's not the full name :D
[07:28] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, Firefox also supports, I checked a HTML5 video, palying w/o any flash plugin and start buffering from anywhere as you want!
[07:28] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: OK - they won't cause any problems if I logged on to my e-mail (i.e. make any of that information vulnerable), will they?
[07:28] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: o_O Really? Didn't know that
[07:28] <prymal> red2kic: they're live ip's (live to the world) for machines that have verious DB funcitons for me.  I'm just trying to make the login process easier with ssh-keygen for no passwords, and hosts so I can just ssh hostname
[07:28] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Highly unlikely, that'd require a system-wide daemon of a kinds
[07:29] <red2kic> prymal: I see. Use aliases, maybe?
[07:29] <wildbat> is there a similar tools for ubuntu as Autoit in Windows?
[07:30] <theadmin> wildbat: What it does?
[07:30] <prymal> red2kic: never done it... google time - cheers for the help
[07:30] <red2kic> !aliases | prymal
[07:30] <red2kic> !alias | prymal
[07:30] <theadmin> ...ubottu seems to be dead today
[07:30] <red2kic> prymal: Yeah. Use your preferred search engine. :'(
[07:30] <prymal> red2kic: np, many thanks!
[07:31] <red2kic> theadmin: No. ubottu responded back in private window for me.
[07:31] <wildbat> theadmin, automation scripts ~ like keystroke and mouse move/click.
[07:31] <chandru_in> how can I know whether usb-mode switch needs to be installed on my system or not?  NM detects my device just fine even without the package.  Do I still have to install it?
[07:31] <theadmin> wildbat: Hm, I saw something somewhere, I believe it had "Ghost" among the name
[07:31] <bazhang> wildbat, seems to work under wine, check the appdb and /join #winehq
[07:31] <red2kic> wildbat: Why don't you try and tell us what you're trying to accomplish? Surely, (the main goal) can be done with a script.
[07:31] <bazhang> !appdb | wildbat
[07:32] <wildbat> red2kic, just looking for tools that can to mouse click automation
[07:33] <theadmin> wildbat: Those are called hands, no? :P
[07:33] <wildbat> bazhang, hmmm i will try but i doubt if it will work with the gnome programs
[07:34] <bazhang> wildbat, or try xdotool from the repos
[07:34] <red2kic> I wonder if it is possible to invoke mouse clicks on keyboard? something like "xclick 50,235" o.O
[07:34] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: OK - good to know.  It's weird - because I just reinstalled 9.10 after having this problem.  The only sites I really visited were Google, my e-mail, and certain forums that were results in Google ...
[07:34] <bazhang> !info xdotool | wildbat
[07:34] <nUboon2Age> I think maybe the tool keiichi_dono was asking about is called 'Quickly':  http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/08/quickly-new-rails-like-rapid-development-tools-for-ubuntu.ars
[07:34] <wildbat> bazhang, thanks will try that
[07:35] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: I mean - it's not like I'm visiting off-the-beaten path sites or anything ...
[07:35] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Still, I recommend getting WOT installed - who knows?
[07:35] <red2kic> theadmin: I'll install WOT.
[07:36] <vishaltelangre> red2kic, I already having WOT on my FF
[07:37] <mandi> i'm trying to access a folder in the var/lib section, but the terminal is saying permission denied and the GUI says i'm not the owner and can't access the folder - any suggestions?
[07:37] <phawx> hey...so guvcview allows me to see my camera nad everything just fine, but i still cant talk on skype
[07:37] <vishaltelangre> mandi, sudo cd /var/lib
[07:37] <mintux> when I run zynaddsubfx another sound disabled like vlc or anything what shall I do for have multi sound ?
[07:38] <mandi> vishaltelangre: i did that, but when i try to access the specific file i'm looking for, it says permission denied
[07:38] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: "cd" is a part of bash and ain't gonna work with sudo
[07:38] <theadmin> mandi: do "sudo -i" to get a root shell
[07:38] <greezmunkey> theadmin: I lagged out and missed what you were saying about ??rimm-riffers?? what exactly are they, google reference?
[07:39] <red2kic> greezmunkey: <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Might be browser exploits judging by names. rimm-riffer is something that deletes a lot of stuff (mainly by running a disguised "rm -rf /*" command or "rm -rf ~/*")
[07:39] <vishaltelangre> mandi, sudo -i or su root (for su you need UNIX passwd)
[07:39] <mandi> got it! thx!
[07:40] <greezmunkey> red2kic: like a perl script, or the like...php code, etc?
[07:40] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, oh yeah, sudo -i or su works
[07:40] <theadmin> greezmunkey: Well, perl, php, python, can be on freakin anything
[07:40] <linux> the virus protection is the virus installer just install under root lol
[07:41] <greezmunkey> theadmin: interesting, sbut that would have to be root unless it attacked your home folder
[07:41] <theadmin> greezmunkey: How'd ya like this: python -c 'import os;  os.system("".join([chr(ord(i)-1) for i in "sn!.sg!+"]))' (DO NOT RUN ANYONE!)
[07:41] <red2kic> !danger
[07:41] <assad> how to run/install usb modem on 9.10 ?

[07:42] <assad> connection is BSNL if it helps.
[07:42] <phawx> prob shouldnt be asking this...but i've got an iphone.....itunes doesnt work in ubuntu right
[07:42] <greezmunkey> theadmin: I'll admit ignorance of what that does.
[07:43] <theadmin> greezmunkey: Removes CWD basically
[07:43] <red2kic> !iphone | phawx
[07:43] <vishaltelangre> assad, just plug it in and configure it from network connections , no need of extra drivers and blah blah...
[07:44] <red2kic> I wonder if we ought to update iPad in that factoid. :O
[07:44] <phawx> was gonna say,  my phone is jailbroken :P
[07:44] <red2kic> !ops | _bt #fix-your-connection
[07:44] <greezmunkey> theadmin: CWD? change working directory??
[07:45] <theadmin> greezmunkey: s/change/current/
[07:45] <Flannel> red2kic: You could just come to #ubuntu-ops and tell us next time, since it's not really an emergency
[07:45] <red2kic> Flannel: Roger.
[07:45] <greezmunkey> theadmin: uggh, not good!
[07:45] <vishaltelangre> phawx, http://maketecheasier.com/sync-iphone-with-rhythmbox/2010/02/13
[07:46] <theadmin> greezmunkey: So as you can see, the possible variations of just one command are endless
[07:46] <greezmunkey> theadmin: I do see, thanks for the heads up.

[07:50] <khelvan> Hi, I switched my windows buttons back to the right from the left side in Lucid Lynx, and it worked, but now when I maximize applications, I lose the top bar that has the windows buttons, and I have no way of un-maximizing the window. Can someone help?
[07:50] <Flannel> hmm
[07:51] <itai> vishaltelangre, thanks, thats the default in karmic? do i need to convert it before burning or anthing ?
[07:51] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, I gave that just for show that firefox also supports HTML5, but has doubt about chromium-broser
[07:51] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: No idea bout chromium, but Chrome does
[07:51] <vishaltelangre> itai, which format you have of that video?
[07:51] <mek8630> so no one in here uses mediatomb?
[07:51] <red2kic> itai: No, those are native DVD filesystem. You should only need to burn. No need for converting or re-encoding.
[07:52] <itai> vishaltelangre, vob
[07:52] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, okay! :)
[07:52] <itai> red2kic, ok thanks
[07:52] <vishaltelangre> itai, I think it'll work out for you, it's a cd/dvd default video extension... no need to convert the video!

[07:57] <red2kic> mek8630: Probably because your settings are sitting in /home/mek/
[07:57] <padi999> I would like to make a feature request to empathy SIP client: I need a dialpad also AFTER I have dialed a number if I call service lines that direct you through issues by having you press numbers on the dialpad accordingly.
[07:57] <red2kic> mek8630: Gnome Display Manager -- Or as you say it, login.
[07:58] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: locate torrc, or .torrc ??
[07:58] <Yosi> hi all
[07:58] <Yosi> Question:   Can I have Ubuntu Server 10.04, at 4am each morning (i'm guessing using cron), reboot the server, enter Clonzilla (available in my GRUB menu), bootup the Clonezilla, execute a backup image of my main RAID to a large drive (I know I can do this part by manually command line and it works) then when complete, reboot the system again and run Ubuntu Server (from GRUB)?  Can all these reboots etc and selection 
[07:58] <mek8630> red2kic: ok I will check into that thank you. Is that the only thing you can think of?
[07:58] <KungFuBear> greezmunkey: .torrc I believe. I need to edit it so that I can use tor in irssi to connect to freenode
[07:58] <vishaltelangre> !info tor | KungFuBear
[07:59] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: no, use the locate command :)
[07:59] <red2kic> mek8630: Well -- Why can't you log in? Check for settings in mediatomb -- It's probably under your name and if you're not in, then it'll be not be running.
[07:59] <vishaltelangre> KungFuBear, but the package is not in repos, how you've installed it w/ aptitude?
[07:59] <bluecheese> is ebox the best thing to use with ubuntu servers?
[07:59] <alabd> Good day all , would someone name briefly steps are required to make ubuntu a cloud server  ????
[07:59] <KungFuBear> greezmunkey: omg! you are a savior, I've been wondering how to do that forever now! Unfortunately, the only thing it finds is a .gz man file
[07:59] <mek8630> red2kic: I can't log in because I never set up a user name. It never required one.
[07:59] <KungFuBear> vishaltelangre: I had to add a dependancy
[08:00] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: that's about all I can do for you from here, sorry.
[08:00] <KungFuBear> greezmunkey: thanks anyway, I learned something SUPER helpful!
[08:00] <Jordan_U> Yosi: Yes, using grub-reboot and adding startup scripts to clonezilla.
[08:00] <red2kic> mek8630: Have you seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MediaTomb
[08:01] <mek8630> red2kic: when I first install it mediatomb didn't require a user name and password, so I just reinstalled it but there isn't a place to even set one up. I haven't tried what you were talking about yet though.
[08:01] <mek8630> red2kic: no I haven't see that link yet I will check it out also.
[08:02] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: here's an even better tip:  http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[08:02] <KungFuBear> heh
[08:02] <KungFuBear> thnx
[08:03] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: bookmark it, I use it a lot.
[08:03] <EgyParadox> isn't the topic bit old?
[08:03] <KungFuBear> greezmunkey: I just downloaded it ;)
[08:04] <Jordan_U> Yosi: Basically, add a script to /etc/rc.local that will do the backup and reboot. Then on the Ubuntu side of things set GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub" (this is required for grub-reboot to work) and create a cron job that runs (as root): grub-reboot "Title of Clonezilla's grub menu entry here"
[08:04] <khelvan> Hello, I have lost my application title bars & window buttons...I have no window borders. Can someone help me get them back? I am running on lucid lynx.
[08:05] <Jordan_U> Yosi: That's /etc/rc.local in clonezilla
[08:07] <Yosi> thanks jordan, much appreciated...   i will test this out
[08:08] <Jordan_U> Yosi: You're welcome.
[08:12] <_patton> how to find out what resolution my screen is set to Ubuntu 10.04 please?
[08:13] <theadmin> _patton: xrandr|grep '+'
[08:14] <_patton> theadmin: thanks
[08:18] <greezmunkey> hmm
[08:19] <theadmin> khelvan: Did you by any chance kill the window manager?
[08:19] <Mrokii> khelvan:  You may check if you have "Visual Effects" disabled in the "Appearance"-preferences. I had the same effect on 9.10 and the reason was that the effects were disabled.
[08:20] <rashd7_> lastday i upgraded debian from lenny to sid
[08:20] <rashd7_> in lenny my network card is working
[08:20] <rashd7_> bit after upgrade i lost my network card driver
[08:20] <rashd7_> on the top taskbar it shows  `no network devices found``
[08:20] <rashd7_> i tried all non-free firmware but issue is not solved
[08:20] <rashd7_> in dmesg after doing modprobe tg3
[08:20] <rashd7_> it show my  network card bcm5784m on eth0 in dmesg
[08:20] <FloodBot1> rashd7_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:20] <theadmin> rashd7_: Debian? take that to their channels
[08:20] <khelvan> theadmin, Mrokii, I don't believe I killed the window manager...if I did, I didn't mean to. I have even rebooted, with no luck. I checked Appearance preferences, and I can't select any options. It is all greyed out.
[08:21] <help111> hey i just instaled ubuntu
[08:21] <help111> bt the sound drivers r missing.
[08:22] <help111> realtek sound drivers..
[08:22] <khelvan> theadmin, Mrokii - I should note that this is a netbook remix version of Lucid Lynx that I told, in the Login Window dialogue, to boot to normal Gnome since I hate the UNR interface
[08:23] <greezmunkey> "The problem with filtering firewalls are they inhibit the access to your network from the Internet." From _Linux The Complete Reference, 1996 edition.
[08:23] <greezmunkey> heh
[08:23] <anthony> hi to all of you guy's
[08:23] <stonehinge> hey
[08:24] <Mrokii> khelvan:  I see. Then I don't know what to do, I've never tried out the netboox-edition.
[08:25] <help111> Could anyone help me?
[08:25] <Sam_Fisher> how can I reinstall all network files?
[08:26] <ms2204> help111: hit me
[08:27] <help111> ms2204: thanks :) so here i m on ubuntu  lucid.. bt all my sound drivers are missing .. cant find anything appropriate in synaptic
[08:27] <aaditya> My chromium fonts are screwed since the last recent update. Anyone hear me?
[08:27] <theadmin> help111: Anythin' in System -> Administration -> Sound Drivers?
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[08:27] <aaditya> howdy ActionParsnip
[08:28] <ms2204> help111: whatz yr sc name?
[08:28] <help111> theadmin: theres nthing as sch sound drivers
[08:28] <help111> ms2204: realtek
[08:29] <ms2204> help111: can you go to:system-preference-sound?
[08:29] <help111> ms2204: also i need 2 disable the password asking thing everywhere.. help me with that too
[08:29] <stonehinge> what comes up in lspci?
[08:29] <help111> ms2204: ya m there ;
[08:29] <aaditya> help111: that's not a good idea
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Help111: the asking for password will occur quite a bit til you get setup
[08:30] <help111> aaditya: ActionParsnip okay
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Help111: then it only happens with updates
[08:30] <ms2204> help111:choose: Hardware tab, & try change each Profile
[08:30] <help111> ActionParsnip: okay lets hope it wnt matter me mch later .
[08:31] <help111> ms2204: k doing that..
[08:31] <aaditya> Apparently no one here knows what CROWmium browser is.
[08:31] <help111> ms2204: okay done thanks :)
[08:31] <thune3> help111: wrks?
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Help111: linux uses decent user models rather than dumb windows with everyone as admin. You are a member of a special group which by using your password can get you single shot admin power. It makes the OS more secure
[08:31] <help111> thune3: yup :)
[08:32] <ms2204> help111: Can U hear sound?
[08:32] <help111> ms2204: ya ya :)
[08:32] <help111> ActionParsnip: hmm.. sounds good bt every update at setup it asks for password though..
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Aaditya: is it from guwgle? ;)
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Help111: yes, that's because you user is a user
[08:33] <help111> ms2204: one thing more, i got nvidia card here.. and i been getting udpate as in recommended driver udpate everytime i chck hardware drivers..
[08:33] <help111> ActionParsnip: as in?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Help111: users can only use the system. You can use gksudo and sudo to get admin type access
[08:34] <rr6937-aafxfhe> I would like to avoid any crap from hitting my computer, although I know Linux is pretty resitant to infection.  It's just personal preference.  Therefore, I will no longer use Firefox or Chrome.  Which one of these browsers in Ubuntu Software Center is the most tried, true, safe, and reliable: Epiphany, Seamonkey, Galeon, Midori, Arora, Kazehakase, NetSurf, Conkeror, Dooble
[08:34] <rr6937-aafxfhe> ???
[08:34] <help111> rr6937-aafxfhe: why nt firefox?
[08:34] <rr6937-aafxfhe> And I already know about WTO.  Still ...
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: you will get a billion different answers to that so asking is fairly pointless
[08:35] <rr6937-aafxfhe> help111: Firefox is the first one I had problems with ...
[08:35] <kbrosnan> ubottu: !best
[08:35] <mintux> when I run zynaddsubfx another sound player doesn't work and I don't have no sound how can I have multi sound . it used /dev/dsp
[08:36] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  What about Opera?
[08:36] <thune3> rr6937-aafxfhe: why don't you do your own assesment and get back to us with your recommendation
[08:36] <ms2204> help111:update its fine, :-)
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: i'd shoot for arora and chromium personally. Others will hail opera. Try a few, see which you like
[08:37] <ms2204> help111: for auto login clicking on System -> Administration -> Login Screen Settings
[08:37] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Opera is kinda quirky.
[08:37] <mintux> give me some idea
[08:37] <help111> ms2204: bt everytime i chck it suggests me a different recommended driver, this is the 3rd time nw..
[08:37] <red2kic> rr6937-aafxfhe: You'll get hits regardless of what browsers you're using. IMO.
[08:37] <help111> ms2204: nt the login scree, i have kept it automatic..
[08:37] <karthik_> hi .. In youtube .. when I click on the progress bar/maximize, its not working ...  i removed all flash and reinstalled using sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree .. Still having the same problem.. in Ubuntu 10.04 .. Any solutions for this ?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: so what if we all said opera, would you change your opinion?
[08:37] <help111> ms2204: anyways if duirng the setup n update only it asks for password, m fine .
[08:38] <help111> karthik_: same issue here..
[08:38] <rr6937-aafxfhe> ActionParsnip: Arora, huh?  Have you used it?  Already tried Opera - didn't like it.
[08:38] <help111> ms2204: chck in wat karthik_ is saying. i got same issue
[08:38] <mintux> no soultion ?
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: arora is fine
[08:38] <help111> ms2204: i need 2 drag it a play myself. the button doesnt wrk .
[08:38] <ms2204> help111: and choose your automatic login
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: I use it myself. I'm trying to show you why asking what browser to use is a pointless excercidse
[08:39] <paolo88> hi
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: if we all said opera in unisson but you think its weird, would you switch opinion. Most likely not
[08:40] <mintux> nobody helps
[08:40] <paolo88> what's the log file where I can see the access to ssh at a pc?
[08:40] <rr6937-aafxfhe> red2kic: IMO?  Not familiar.  What does that mean.  So what is the best way to avoid crap from hitting my computer - if it doesn't matter what browser I use.  Apparently - browser exploits get through the in-built firewall ...
[08:40] <ojii> hi everyone
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: all browsers are web facing so are all vulnerable. You can't avoid it
[08:41] <red2kic> rr6937-aafxfhe: IMO = In my opinion. People use port scanners all times in attempt of finding open ports and whatnot.
[08:41] <ojii> a few days back I added the US keyboard layout as a second layout to my system for a friend, now I can't get rid of it and it always defaults to it, despite me more than once removing it from the layouts in "Keyboard" and 'applying systemwide', how can I make it remember that there should only be one layout?
[08:41] <FullFlannelJacke> Anyone know how to get boinc to use a GPU?  Im on Lucid with a GTS 250
[08:43] <help111> karthik_: got any solution for that ?
[08:43] <rr6937-aafxfhe> red2kic: I thought Linux closes ports automatically.  So you can close all ports with the port scanners?  But you still need at least one open for Internet access, right?
[08:44] <red2kic> !firewall | rr6937-aafxfhe
[08:44] <red2kic> rr6937-aafxfhe: Yeah. How do you know you're getting hits in first place anyway?
[08:45] <red2kic> rr6937-aafxfhe: sudo ufw enable -- that'll help. Also, you will have to allow ports like ssh if you want to be able to ssh into your machine.
[08:46] <fillayy> I am running 10.04 on a laptop. My mouse keeps malfunctioning, the cursor moves and all, but the buttons wont let me click sometimes. At the moment only the left click works, not right, and it screws up.
[08:48] <fillayy> I am running 10.04 on a laptop. My mouse keeps malfunctioning, the cursor moves and all, but the buttons wont let me click sometimes. At the moment only the left click works, not right, and it screws up.
[08:49] <thune3> mintux: set zynaddsubfx to use jack, setup jack to run through pulseaudio? maybe i'm not an expert with jack.
[08:49] <mintux> hmm
[08:49] <mintux> im installing oos4
[08:49] <mintux> oss4
[08:49] <greezmunkey> ojii: did you check you xorg.conf file for keyboard layout(s)?
[08:50] <ojii> greezmunkey, so i can't do it with GUI? I don't really like editing xorg.conf by hand
[08:51] <thune3> thune3: does zynaddsubfx offer to run through pulseaudio? have you tried it?
[08:51] <thune3> mintux: sorry see ^
[08:51] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I don't know if it is the "best way". But I do use Firefox with extensions like FlashBlock, plus a host-file downloaded from the net that blocks a lot of spamming/spying-urls. Other than that, I try not to get too paranoid about the issue and use a bit of common sense.
[08:52] <greezmunkey> ojii: well, there is always this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xkb-data - please research that before you run it though.
[08:53] <ojii> greezmunkey, i'll edit xorg.conf then
[08:53] <vishaltelangre> Mrokii, WOT, adblockplus also great add-ons too!
[08:53] <ojii> also: is it a known issue or just me that the newest kernel (-22) leads to a kernel panic on boot?
[08:53] <Mrokii> vishaltelangre:  Yep, that too.
[08:53] <mintux> thune3: what should I set in output to use pulse audio ? it set on /dev/dsp
[08:54] <Mrokii> vishaltelangre:  I just didn't want to mention *all* the extensions that could possibly be helpful. Mainly because I am not even sure how many I have installed over time, heh.
[08:54] <vagothcpp_> Hey, i just installed a new nic (same type as existing), but ubuntu server doesn't recognize it don't believe
[08:54] <vishaltelangre> Mrokii, :P
[08:54] <thune3> mintux: if it is set on /dev/dsp it will hog the output device, and nothing else can use it. i *think* this is your problem.

[08:56] <loopidity> my shutdown button messes up, and also the networking button
[08:56] <spenguin[work]> iceroot: well ive got the usb adaptor to show up as a /dev/fb0

[08:57] <assad> vishaltelangre, how to configure it from network connection ? i am using a gprs connection currently. but i want to use my usb modem on linux/ubuntu 9.10.
[08:57] <jordan> Having a problem with TTY and bootsplash display on Lucid, anyone got a minute?
[08:57] <kuato-Ar> Schmidts rules !
[08:58] <vishaltelangre> assad, okay, as I know, you does not need anything else than just plugging your modem, just need to configure your ISP settings!
[08:58] <vishaltelangre> assad, preferences > network connections
[08:58] <assad> vishaltelangre, how do i do that?
[08:58] <anoopkumar> i am using 9.04 on my laptop its front speaker not produce sound
[08:58] <jordan> kuato-Ar, I believe there's a remember password option in the window where you add accounts
[08:58] <rr6937-aafxfhe> anyone?  What is a host-file?
[08:58] <kuato-Ar> yes, but not that passwords, empathy is asking for a password when i wish to use it
[08:59] <kuato-Ar> not the accounts
[08:59] <kuato-Ar> but to use the program itself
[08:59] <assad> vishaltelangre, which one do i ichose? wired, woreless, wireless modem?
[08:59] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  Actually "hosts" (in "/etc/hosts"). It can be used to block certain urls/IPs for every application.
[08:59] <jordan> kuato-Ar, Ah, nevermind then. I'm not sure about that one
[08:59] <jordan> Having a problem with TTY and bootsplash display on Lucid, anyone got a minute?
[08:59] <greezmunkey> ojii: I've had no kernel panics with it, I checked kern.log, and found nothing to worry about.
[09:00] <kuato-Ar> @_@ , thansk anyway :D
[09:00] <ojii> greezmunkey, well i do and apparently some on the forums do too, trying to see if they found a solution but doesn't look like it so far

[09:00] <vishaltelangre> assad, I just don't have any idea, b'cause I'm connected via mobile broadband (Aircel) from my mobile! :(
[09:01] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Huh.  OK - and it's software you have to download?  Apparently it's been pretty effective for you.  I guess maybe I should just give Firefox another shot - and just make sure I have appropriate extensions installed ...
[09:01] <red2kic> anoopkumar: Upgrade to 10.04 then floodbot this channel if the problem still exist.
[09:01] <ojii> I can't fsck a mounted partition right?
[09:01] <red2kic> ojii: Right.
[09:02] <assad> vishaltelangre, me too!! i am using gprs from aircel
[09:02] <assad> but it is too slow
[09:02] <jordan> Having a problem with TTY and bootsplash display on Lucid, anyone got a minute?
[09:02] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  There are a few "pre-made" files available on the net. I couldn't say right now, from where I downloaded it. But it contains several thousand entries for all kinds of urls that are blocked which are known spammers or companies that track your paths. And it's easy to edit the hosts-file on your own.
[09:02] <assad> vishaltelangre, hence i though i move over too usb modem
[09:03] <karthik_> help111: sorry .. i didnt see your chat ... No I didnt get any solution ..
[09:04] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  All in all, when it comes to functions and usability, I prefer Firefox and Opera on Ubuntu. For me, they seem to be the best combination of reliability and robustness.
[09:05] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii:  I'm going to have to agree with you on that, I guess.  What is your opinion of Google Chrome?
[09:05] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I do not trust Google, so I have never and most probably will never use that.
[09:05] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Does anyone know about the host-file that Mrokii is talking about - and where I can download it from?
[09:05] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I will check were I downloaded the hosts-file, one moment...
[09:06] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: I can understand why you don't trust Google.  They have not proven to be trustworthy.  Thanks for looking, I'll wait ...

[09:06] <vahid> earlier today my system became unbootable and I repaired it by reinstalling grub from a live usb.  Now that I am back in the system, i notice that a lot of my software is no longer installed.  I'm not sure why...  Where can I look to see what might have happened to it?
[09:07] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Yeah - and if I were to use any other browser, it just wouldn't be that developed in terms of functionality and security than a browser like Firefox or Opera.
[09:07] <vagothcpp_> I just ran lspci and found my ethernet controller, but i still cannot use it, ifconfig only shows the loopback interface, any ideas?
[09:07] <kbrosnan> help111: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=892 looks like that is not a program that works under wine
[09:08] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  That's what I think, too. I think that both of them are the most advanced and actively developed. Most other browsers I tried so far lack too many functions I miss.
[09:08] <assad> plz help me configure my USB modem for ubuntu 9.10?
[09:08] <vishaltelangre> !modem > assad

[09:09] <kbrosnan> oh never messed around with the Windows bianarys for wine
[09:09] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  Here is an explanation of the hosts-file and how to use it, as a starter: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
[09:10] <vagothcpp_> Is there a way to list all devices active on my machine?
[09:10] <jordan> Having a problem with TTY and bootsplash display on Lucid, anyone got a minute?
[09:10] <wise_crypt> help111: use winetrick to download it
[09:10] <dum> how do i check if firewall is blocking an application?
[09:10] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: And that site itself is safe, right?  Sometimes some of these self-help sites can posers, as I'm sure you well know ...
[09:11] <dum> and how do i turn off firewall for udp  port
[09:11] <dum> having issues with quick synergy
[09:11] <zingbats> I've stuck ubuntu 10.04 (desktop for now) with an old SCSI tape drive. I've installed bacula but it appears to not have the drivers even though ubuntu detects the drive. Are there any better tape backup programs available, google was mostly directing to bacula.
[09:12] <asela> ha haa
[09:12] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I don't think there is much to fear. The host-file is basically just a list of URLs and IPs that are being blocked, so no application on your system can access them.
[09:12] <rocket16> Friends, my friend made a mistake, by failing to install Ubuntu. But he formatted his E: Drive to Ext4, and although I am helping him, but he is absolutely novice, and can not use Live Mode or DiskUtility to reformat the partition from LiveMode. Is there a way to set E: drive back to NTFS from inside Windows? (E: Drive is invisible now in Windows, as Ext4 can't be read by Windows)
[09:13] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: No, I know.  I'm just new to Linux I guess.  So I'm just gettin' into my groove with it still.  Still searching for the source for the host-file?
[09:13] <wise_crypt> !partition > rocket16
[09:14] <scunizi> rocket16: that's really a windows question.. #windows
[09:14] <rocket16> Thanks scunizi and wise_crypt
[09:14] <jordan> How would I go about changing the default resolution during boot?
[09:14] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I am just checking the url I have my bookmarks (and download the latest version of the hosts-file).
[09:14] <alabd> Good day all
[09:15] <alabd> UEC is for setting cloud server or client ?
[09:15] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: OK - thanks!  I really appreciate it.  I'll just re-install 9.10 tomorrow to get a fresh start - and then implement these practices ...
[09:16] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I downloaded the file from here: http://hostsfile.mine.nu/downloads/ (one of the first two entries (127.0.0.1-format). They're the same, only that one is archived and the other is not...
[09:16] <Jordan_U> alabd: Server. For help with UEC you're probably better off asking in #ubuntu-server
[09:16] <pip> Hello, how to make sure the ubuntu system I'm on is i386 32bit version or the x86_64 64bit version ?
[09:17] <alabd> Jordan_U:  thanks
[09:17] <Jordan_U> alabd: You're welcome.
[09:17] <scunizi> pip: in a terminal type uname -a
[09:18] <pip> scunizi, and ?
[09:18] <Gryllida> How do I insrease scrollbar size? This is absent in system - preferences - appearance
[09:18] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  What I do with it when I first used it was to check the contents of my the file "/etc/hosts". There should be maybe 6 to 10 entries in there as a standard. So I just "merged" my own hosts-file with the one I downloaded and put it into the "/etc"-folder...
[09:18] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: It's so great that Ubuntu does not take that long to install.  It's just the updates that take a while - but that's OK.
[09:18] <scunizi> pip: hit enter.. the resulting output will let you know.. i686 is 32bit and anything mentioning 64 is 64 bit
[09:18] <vagothcpp_> Alright, a problem I am having is, i just booted up Ubuntu Server 10.04LTS after installing, the installer used the network card fine, but after booting it, ifconfig only shows the lo device, lspci & dmesg show that my card is recognized, dmesg also shows that udev renamed eth0 to eth1, anyway, added entries to the interfaces list for eth0 & eth1, rebooted network service and got: No such device for eth0, and ignoring unknown device eth1, any ideas?
[09:19] <alabd> Jordan_U:  and with UEC we can make a cloud server on ubuntu yes ?
[09:19] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: OK.  So how do you merge them?  Is this just a text file?  Or do you have run certain commands to make that happen?
[09:19] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe: To test it afterwards just have a look at the hosts-file and try to access one of the urls mentioned there via any browser. It should give you an error-message that the url can't be accessed.h I don't think so).
[09:19] <alabd> what is UEC a pack of softwares ?
[09:19] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  It's a simple textfile
[09:19] <alabd> and how about on client nothing required ?
[09:20] <Jordan_U> alabd: http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud
[09:20] <vishaltelangre> pip, yeah that's it! |cc scunizi
[09:20] <alabd> Jordan_U:  saw there before
[09:20] <kraut> moin
[09:20] <pip> scunizi, for a x86_64 machine, it's better to install the 64bit ubuntu ?
[09:20] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: And you've tested both of those sites you are telling me about - and they themselves are safe?
[09:20] <vagothcpp_> Did my last post get sent? (the really long one)
[09:21] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: What does ".nu" in the URL mean?  Do you know?
[09:21] <vishaltelangre> vagothcpp_, yeah, your prev update is viewable here! :)
[09:21] <alabd> Jordan_U:  would exaplain this ? Amazon EC2 fits perfectly with Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud's modularity, virtualisation capabilities, range of applications and optimised performance.
[09:21] <vagothcpp_> vishaltelangre: Sweet, any idea's though?
[09:22] <scunizi> pip: not neccessarily.. 64 runs fine .. but is really only necessary if you have more than 4 gig of ram.. that being said I run 64 bit kubuntu on my desktop and 32bit Ubuntu on my laptop
[09:22] <scunizi> pip: both are dual core machines.. and neither has more than 4 gigs of ram
[09:22] <vishaltelangre> vagothcpp_, sorry I'm a dial-up user! :(
[09:23] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  Nope, I don't know. But as I said, I don't see why there should be anything to fear. The hosts-file is pretty simple. It contains numerous linkes in the format "127.0.0.1   url", which just means that any app that tries to access the url.
[09:23] <Jordan_U> alabd: Marketing speak for UEC is designed to work well with Amazon EC2 (pre made images available, I think Amazon even offers then so there's no extra setup)
[09:24] <vagothcpp_> hmm, got it to work
[09:24] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe: An extract from the url I posted above: "Example - the following entry 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net blocks all files supplied by that DoubleClick Server to the web page you are viewing...."
[09:24] <vagothcpp_> thanks for the therapy =P
[09:24] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  ".. This also prevents the server from tracking your movements. Why? ... because in certain cases "Ad Servers" like Doubleclick (and many others) will try silently to open a separate connection on the webpage you are viewing, record your movements then yes ... follow you to additional sites you may visit.""
[09:24] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: OK - well I'm sure there is more than one source - and I can just make sure the one I use is safe with something like WTO.
[09:25] <Mrokii> WTO?
[09:25] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Yes - I'm sure it's great.
[09:25] <Jordan_U> alabd: There are also other nice integration things, like byobu (addon profiles for the screen utility basically) showing you how much a server instance is costing you in real time.
[09:26] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  There are a few sites available I think. Generally I tend to "the more the better" in that case. Plus, if there should be a site you can't access anymore, you just add a "#" in front of the line for that url (in the hosts-file) and effectively make a comment out of it, so it is accessible again.
[09:26] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  And certainly you can add your own entries manually as well if you want.
[09:26] <alabd> Jordan_U: thanks can not get if EC2 is an image or is a software or is a concept
[09:27] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  btw, the hosts-file on the site I mentioned contains more than 90.0000 entries, heh. That should block a good amount of tracking-services :)
[09:28] <Jordan_U> alabd: It's an image, which is a minimal Ubuntu install + packages for EC2 / eucalyptus integration.
[09:28] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: I see.  That definitely helps.  Maybe I meant WOT.  It's this extension that tells you how safe and reliable the site you are on - actually is.
[09:29] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  Ah yes, I know that and use it myself.
[09:29] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Anyway - it's late.  I need to go.  Thanks for your help!  Linux is always a learning experience, for sure :)
[09:29] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  It definitely is. Goodnight.
[09:30] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Goodnight.  All the best with Linux :)

[09:32] <OlegSmall> hello
[09:32] <OlegSmall> please help to configure video card nVidia GeForce Go 6100 on Ubuntu 4.10.
[09:32] <OlegSmall> Installed Nvidia driver version 173, it works well, but with a nasty bug:
[09:32] <OlegSmall> to operate 3D acceleration after booting the system need to run NVIDIA X Server Settings, go to the tab X Server Display Configuration
[09:32] <OlegSmall> change any parameter (eg refresh rate), and click Apply.
[09:32] <FloodBot1> OlegSmall: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:32] <OlegSmall> After that, everything works well. And so it should be done after each boot.

[09:55] <krow_> Can someone plz tell me how the boot screen resolution can be fixed on 10.04 with nvidia drivers?
[09:56] <indus> krow_, i have this problem too and with ATI , no idea how to fix
[09:56] <jenda> My CPU sometimes jumps up to 100% IOwait. I'm trying to figure out what's causing the problem with iotop, but it says "CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT not enabled in kernel, cannot determine SWAPIN and IO %". I think IO % could show the culprit, although I'm not sure. What can I do to fix this?

[09:59] <Zeu5> hi i ve tried googling, but maybe i misread the articles from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/lucid/sshmenu i still do not understand where to find this menu. i have already run sudo apt-get install sshmenu and sshmenu-gnome
[09:59] <Mrokii> krow_:  Maybe solution no. 6 on this page is something for you? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/known-ubuntu-10-04lucid-lynx-issuesbugs-with-workarounds.html
[10:00] <krow_> Mrokii i'll try it, ty
[10:02] <Mrokii> Zeu5:  It sounds as if it should be a panel-menu. Is it found somewhere in the top right-corner? Or maybe you have to enable it first (by right-clicking on the panel and adding it via the appropriate menu-item?
[10:05] <Zeu5> Mrokii: i found the applet. i now trying it out. thanks!

[10:12] <Zeu5> Mrokii: i have installed it but apparently, i am stuck as to how to use it. can you or anyone help me with transferring my public key? it has already been generated . i can see it in ~/.ssh however, i cannot run this command ssh-copy-id ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@example.com . all i want is to make it such that i dont have to retype my ssh password all the time
[10:13] <fatsopi1> :'(
[10:13] <edy> joint
[10:13] <sikun> fatsopi1: i can attempt and help you, what are you trying to mount?
[10:14] <llutz> Zeu5: "ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine"   "-i" missing?
[10:14] <fatsopi1> sikun: my internal partition
[10:14] <Mrokii> Zeu5:  Sorry, I know next to nothing about SSH (how to actually configure it).
[10:14] <fatsopi1> sikun: can I pm you?
[10:14] <sikun> fatsopi1, sure
[10:14] <Zeu5> Mrokii: its okay. i just wanted to try my luck
[10:14] <arand> Bear10: In fact, you can just install the package "nautilus-open-terminal" with apt.
[10:14] <Zeu5> llutz: let me go try now
[10:15] <red2kic> Zeu5: "man ssh-copy-id" -- You should be able to use "ssh-copy-id user@host" straightforward.
[10:15] <Bear10> arand, thank you
[10:15] <Bear10> will check it out now
[10:18] <noperta> #jakarta
[10:18] <Zeu5> red2kic: llutz: i think it was a successful copy. but i dont understand why everytime i was prompted for the password?
[10:20] <llutz> Zeu5: ssh requires a password unless you generate a key without passphrase
[10:20] <Zeu5> llutz: i am quite sure i generated a key without passphrase
[10:21] <Zeu5> llutz: i went to applications > accessories > passwords and encrypted keys > and created a key
[10:21] <llutz> Zeu5: but to copy that key  it needs the password. after key is copied, it shouldn't ask anymore
[10:21] <Zeu5> llutz: so in conclusion, i may not have copied the key successfully yes?
[10:21] <Oyster> hi, after i complete first tutorial in nexuiz my screen turns black and no shortcuts(alt+f9 alt+tab alt+f4 ctrl+alt+f1) are working. Is there a way to solve the problem?
[10:21] <llutz> Zeu5: "ssh user@host" again, it shouldn't ask if the key was copied
[10:24] <Zeu5> llutz: it prompts me for my password again

I was told I needed to run fsck manually, in maintance mode, and mount the system read only. Further down, it said I was in maintance mode, read only, so I ran fsck. Had a bunch of errors, but managed to get to the X log in screen. But no joy there, as it wouldn't take my password. So,
[10:28] <n2diy>  I booted into recovery mode, and tried changing my password there, no joy, I wasn't known to the authentication module.So I tried adding user vic, and he didn't get a password, because he isn't known to the auth. module either. Whats going on?

[10:32] <llutz> Zeu5: you need to create a key using DSA

[10:42] <llutz> Zeu5: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html
[10:42] <Zeu5> llutz: and also is it useful to have sshmenu? i downloaded it after reading a tutorial, but it just left me confused. its the same tutorial that gave me the errorneous ssh-copy-id command which u corrected
[10:42] <llutz> Zeu5: sorry, i don't know sshmenu
[10:42] <n2diy> my test box is afu. Last night it reported a restart was required, which was a surprise, as I hadn't done any updates. did the restart, and fsck failed. I was told I needed to run fsck manually, in maintance mode, and mount the system read only. Further down, it said I was in maintance mode, read only, so I ran fsck. Had a bunch of errors, but managed to get to the X log in screen. But no joy there, as it wouldn't take my password. So,
[10:42] <n2diy>  I booted into recovery mode, and tried changing my password there, no joy, I wasn't known to the authentication module.So I tried adding user vic, and he didn't get a password, because he isn't known to the auth. module either. Whats going on?
[10:42] <Zeu5> llutz: np. by the way the link yousent me wat is that for?
[10:43] <DUEDAHL> can somebody help me with iptables? /q
[10:43] <llutz> Zeu5: old tutorial about ssh with dsa keys
[10:43] <llutz> Zeu5: just use"ssh-keygen -t dsa"
[10:43] <Zeu5> llutz: okay understood. i ctrl + F it
[10:43] <babu> n2diy boot in sigle user mode. use passwd to change password
[10:44] <KarlsBerg87> hello everybody

[10:45] <OlegSmall> hello, please help to configure video card nVidia GeForce Go 6100 on Ubuntu 4.10. Installed Nvidia driver version 173, it works well, but with a nasty bug: to operate 3D acceleration after booting the system need to run NVIDIA X Server Settings, go to the tab X Server Display Configuration change any parameter (eg refresh rate), and click Apply. After that, everything works well. And so it should be done after each boot. I read this https://hel
[10:45] <Zeu5> llutz: its still requesting me for password :(
[10:45] <Zeu5> llutz: now running the -vvv option
[10:46] <sikun> fatsopi1, not a problem
[10:46] <llutz> Zeu5: ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa user@host

[10:47] <n2diy> OlegSmall: roger that.
[10:47] <KarlsBerg87> thanks
[10:48] <KarlsBerg87> to 20
[10:48] <azlon> what do i need to do to setup a peer-to-peer network from one Ubuntu machine to another? I have a crossover cable plugged in and samba installed on both. i also have static IPs assigned to each machine
[10:48] <KarlsBerg87> to 20 seconds
[10:48] <Zeu5> llutz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/447121/ really appreciate your help all this time
[10:49] <n2diy> babu: ok, I forget how to do that, not having to do it much. When I boot the cd, I hit esc at the grub prompt, and all I see are regular, and recovery kernels, what am I missing?
[10:50] <babu> n2diy reboot and e to edit line . use the arrows to go to kernel line, press e to edit again ..add single in last and reboot useing this option ..now use passwd to change password
[10:50] <Zeu5> llutz: i am trying to learn. but it says that no such identity: /home/kei/.ssh/identity i went cd ~/.ssh i dont see anything called identity. so the problem lies with this?
[10:50] <llutz> Zeu5: paste please "ls -la ~/.ssh/authorized*" from  server
[10:51] <Zeu5> llutz: okie. on myway
[10:51] <hnsz2002> hi, can anybody help me in pacemaker and o2cb? the dlm is up and running. but the o2cb cannot start

[10:52] <Zeu5> llutz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/447126/
[10:53] <n2diy> babu: ok, thanks, but it is to late now, the drive has been reformatted, and reinstalled, with no joy. I swapped out the hard drive, and the new one is acting the same way. When I try to re-install, format etc... I keep failing at the loading base system part. I've tried many versions of Ubuntu, and Xubunu, and the only one that worked was 5.10!?
[10:53] <llutz> Zeu5:  "chown username:username ~/.ssh/authorized*" on  server
[10:53] <llutz> Zeu5:  "chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized*" on  server
[10:54] <Zeu5> llutz: but the server does not belong to me. is tat wise?
[10:54] <babu> n2diy its realy late :D
[10:54] <llutz> Zeu5: its your useraccount?
[10:54] <malv> why do firefox and chromium not respect the gnome settings?
[10:54] <malv> how do I fix it?
[10:54] <kbrosnan> malv: what settings?
[10:54] <Zeu5> llutz: true
[10:54] <malv> there was a chromium update which made the fonts suck again
[10:55] <llutz> Zeu5: those 2 commands just make you owner of that file and permit only the owner to access it. it doesn't change anything else serverside
[10:55] <n2diy> babu: yes, I know, the box is cooking with memtest86 now, I'm not playing with it any more tonight, just fishing for ideas.
[10:55] <Zeu5> llutz: invalid group: `username:username'
[10:56] <llutz> Zeu5: replace with your "username"
[10:56] <znupii> Does anyone know if Pidgin makes use of system services for file transfer?
[10:56] <znupii> I can not send files to friends
[10:56] <llutz> Zeu5: i guess "kei"
[10:56] <Zeu5> llutz: done
[10:57] <llutz> Zeu5: ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa user@host               try again please
[10:57] <Zeu5> llutz: whoa hold on a sec. kei is the useraccount i use on my laptop
[10:57] <Zeu5> llutz: but there is a different username for the server
[10:57] <llutz> Zeu5: it has to be the server username
[10:57] <Zeu5> llutz: in tat case, its okay :)
[10:58] <Zeu5> llutz: still prompting me for password :(
[10:58] <Zeu5> llutz: i go -vvv again
[10:59] <llutz> Zeu5: maybe i'm too tired this morning but i'm out of ideas then :(
[10:59] <Zeu5> llutz: hey man

[11:05] <ExpertOrBust> It worked! Thanks again!
[11:06] <Mrokii> xinux3r:  If it doesn't appear in the "Applications/Programming"-menu, I think you could add it manually by editiing the menu and adding the entry yourself.
[11:06] <capiscuas> any virtual sound card for ubuntu?
[11:06] <gunther44> Gryllida: nope, reads the package info after taking admin password, then goes back to main screen with them all ticked

[11:14] <Gryllida> !ubottu
[11:14] <Mrokii> heh, was about to reply to gunther that I had problems with updating OpenOffice a day or two ago as well. I just updated another day and it worked, so I guess it may only be a problem of their servers.
[11:17] <karthik1890> how to install gtk+ easily?

[11:18] <mintux> how can I send jack sound outpur to pulse audio ? the problem is  when I open jack-control the vlc and another play also pulseaudio has not sound . or when I open rosegarden . I want to listen music also play piano on roegarden or virtual keyboard
[11:19] <mintux> it's very bad problem in linux that didn't solve it . conflict between sound output of music player and music creator
[11:20] <karthik1890> what are the GUI building tools available in lucid?
[11:20] <mintux> if music player work the rosegarden has no sound and if rosegarden open the music player doesn't has sound
[11:22] <pozic> How does one move one contact in Thunderbird to another list?
[11:23] <pozic> It seems there is a way to remove a contact, to create a new one, but not to actually move one.
[11:23] <azlon> what is a good ftp program for beginners? i need something with a gui config.
[11:23] <iceroot> azlon: filezilla
[11:23] <mintux>  azlon: gftp
[11:23] <azlon> iceroot, sorry, ftp server
[11:24] <iceroot> azlon: proftpd (no need a gui for a server) or openssh-server (sftp)
[11:25] <theadmin> Excuse me, where on Ubuntu CD are initrd.gz and vmlinuz located?
[11:26] <Gryllida> theadmin: honestly no idea, open nautilus and do a search
[11:26] <theadmin> Gryllida: I found initrd.lz, but what's that? o_O
[11:26] <sinistrad> azlon, proftpd and pureftpd have gui as additional packages
[11:26] <Gryllida> theadmin: no idea, I'm on my third linux day
[11:26] <pozic> Is there a standard for managing addressbooks on the server instead of in the client?
[11:27] <Gryllida> theadmin: read it and where it is located,etc
[11:27] <Gryllida> pozic: Firefox?
[11:27] <sinistrad> initrd and vmlinuz are likely in the /boot dir
[11:27] <pozic> Gryllida: uh, what?
[11:27] <pozic> Gryllida: Firefox is a webbrowser.
[11:27] <Gryllida> pozic: interaction with server, right
[11:28] <Gryllida> pozic: Firefox never keps addressbooks locally afaik
[11:28] <pozic> Gryllida: ...
[11:28] <theadmin> sinistrad: bash: cd: boot: No such file or directory
[11:28] <pozic> Gryllida: when did I say Firefox?
[11:28] <Gryllida> pozic: you said 'manage address books not locally'
[11:28] <mintux>  there is no way to listen music and play music together in ubuntu ?????????. that's funny
[11:29] <theadmin> mintux: ?
[11:29] <pozic> Gryllida: yes, and how will help Firefox with that?
[11:29] <sinistrad> theadmin, cd /boot
[11:29] <pozic> Gryllida: the problem is that AFAIK, there is no protocol to do so, so there is also no standard application.
[11:29] <pozic> Gryllida: and certainly not Firefox.
[11:29] <theadmin> sinistrad: Um. I'm looking for those on the CD, not on a installed system
[11:29] <DUEDAHL> iptables question: http://paste.ubuntu.com/447119/ - LAN users cannot connect to my ftp server in the DMZ-zone using the public dns servers... users connecting from internet connect just fine..
[11:30] <mintux> theadmin: when I open rosegarden or jack control - or zynaddsubfx another sound disabled and when a player be open those softwares doesn't have any sound
[11:30] <Gryllida> pozic: I'm sorry, maybe this isn't right, but I just use webmail interface to interact with address book.
[11:30] <mintux> theadmin: I would like have listen music and play for example piano
[11:30] <xinux3r> !info freepascal
[11:31] <sinistrad> theadmin, Ahh, I don't have one of those handy, so I don't know. I'm not sure if they are even using cloop for packing all that on the disc.
[11:32] <sinistrad> theadmin, look in /casper
[11:33] <n2diy> can you do a low level format on a hard drive with Ubuntu?
[11:33] <Lunar_Lamp> n2diy: yes.
[11:33] <Lunar_Lamp> The method will depend upon what your goals are.
[11:34] <Lunar_Lamp> e.g. do you want to wipe a disk? Or put a new filesystem upon it?
[11:34] <akem> Hi, i tried the last ubuntu on my HP DV5 but i can't get the wifi to work(broadcom) an error when setting the key 'SetEncode' or something not working, anyone got this wifi card to work?
[11:34] <theadmin> Okay, does this look like a proper GRUB2 entry? http://pastebin.com/qqLng5gC
[11:34] <eipi-1> hey, i try to mount a filesystem so that changes are only temporary. i used to use aufs for that but i have trouble finding the package to install under lucid. Do you have any suggestions?
[11:35] <theadmin> err
[11:35] <n2diy> Lunar_Lamp: how, with what? In the old days, I had a DOS Debug routine that would write all zeros on a drive. I've tried that with a linux assembler, but it didn't work, I suspect it was syntax errors?
[11:35] <theadmin> http://pastebin.com/G00KVD4b
[11:35] <sinistrad> akem, I did. It was long ago, but I basically had to blacklist broadcom and use ndiswrapper to get it working. I believe I haven't had to do that with lucid
[11:35] <theadmin> Sorry, nano messing around :D
[11:36] <Random832> n2diy: you on't need assembler to access the drive on linux - just dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[whatever drive]
[11:36] <akem> sinistrad, ha ok, y ea i read about ndiswrapper...ok thanks for the info
[11:36] <sinistrad> akem np
[11:36] <Gryllida> theadmin: very weird, what are you trying to do?
[11:36] <Random832> n2diy: but why do you _want_ to write all zeros to a drive?
[11:36] <Random832> it seems like an odd thing to need to do - and i think the term "low-level format" doesn't mean what you think it does
[11:36] <theadmin> Gryllida: Boot an ISO
[11:37] <Lunar_Lamp> n2diy: you can do that with a simple command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=256k [obviously, put the correct device in there!]
[11:37] <Gryllida> theadmin: hmm.... what? you're trying to add it to grub? what partition would it reside in?
[11:37] <Lunar_Lamp> (the block size is up to you - I tend to use 1024, but hey, that's just me)
[11:37] <theadmin> Gryllida: /dev/sda1
[11:38] <theadmin> Gryllida: or (hd0,0)
[11:38] <n2diy> Random832: just to see if I can do it, before I trash the drive.
[11:38] <n2diy> Lunar_Lamp: roger that.
[11:38] <theadmin> Or is it (1,1) by now? I forget about grub2 naming scheme :/
[11:38] <Gryllida> theadmin: I'd umount the iso to there and then reboot, for the bios to find this new partition
[11:38] <theadmin> Gryllida: Uhm.
[11:39] <theadmin> Gryllida: I don't think you understand what you say or what I need.
[11:39] <llutz> theadmin: grub2: /dev/sda1 = (hd0,1)
[11:39] <theadmin> llutz: Confusing.
[11:39] <llutz> theadmin: plain stupid, drives starting still with 0, partitions with 1
[11:39] <Gryllida> theadmin: I understand what you need, but does it need to edit a conf to just run an iso on linux?
[11:39] <sinistrad> theadmin, make sure vga=791 will work on the target system. I'm assuming you already know it will if it is your local system.
[11:39] <Kane_Hart> for personal use something easy to use nice free controll panel to add and remove images / vps blah blah whats better openvz or zen
[11:40] <alkemann> is it possible to increase the size of the area where the mouse pointer turns to window resizer, half a pixel is too small for a 1900 wide desktop :)
[11:40] <gharz> guys, i'm looking at apple.com... how do i view their videos? it's searching for quicktime video player
[11:41] <Random832> alkemann: what DE are you using?
[11:41] <Random832> [and i'm certain it's not "half a pixel"
[11:41] <sinistrad> lol
[11:42] <alkemann> Random832: ok, it's probably one, but it feels like less. what is a DE?
[11:42] <Random832> alkemann: anyway - you can probably use the alt button and - it's either middle- or right-click on the window and drag to resize, or select 'Resize' from the menu
[11:42] <Random832> alkemann: desktop environment - like gnome, kde
[11:42] <red2kic> Zeu5: When you generate a SSH key, did you type in passphrase?
[11:42] <red2kic> Zeu5: Nevermind. That was old. You got it resolved.
[11:42] <Zeu5> hi red2kic yes i did
[11:43] <theadmin> Gryllida: I'm trying to make GRUB _boot_ an ISO
[11:43] <alkemann> Random832: gnome i think, i ust installed ubuntu through wubi
[11:43] <red2kic> Zeu5: That was it. Leave it blank. *I mean, You got it resolved?*
[11:43] <Zeu5> red2kic: unfortunately i still cannot get to the point where i do not need to type in the ssh password everytime
[11:43] <n2diy> alkemann: look around for accesiblity options, I saw something like that the other day, when I wasn't looking for it.
[11:43] <llutz> theadmin: examples here http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB
[11:44] <gharz> anyone?
[11:44] <Gryllida> theadmin: as for me, it would be 1) place the iso onto a separate partition 2) reboot so that bios finds it and 3) I don't really know why all this would need manual file editing
[11:44] <Random832> alkemann: in the default theme, the resize border is pretty thick IMO - but it's only on the bottom
[11:44] <gharz> !quicktime
[11:44] <Zeu5> red2kic: i understand. by they way, would you be able to help with my issue of not being able to correctly get the authorized_keys to identify my private key?
[11:44] <Random832> but anyway, try the menu
[11:44] <bazhang> gharz, wget them
[11:44] <red2kic> Zeu5: I'll bite for little. I'm tired already. ;o
[11:44] <Random832> you can alt-right-click on the window to pop up the menu without moving to the corner
[11:44] <theadmin> Gryllida: BIOS can't boot ISO images, I don't need partit... Damn, whatever the heck! I'll just burn it onto a CD and be it!
[11:44] <red2kic> Zeu5: Generate new SSH key with no passphrase (blank). ssh-copy-id user@host to the new machine.
[11:45] <Gryllida> theadmin: ok
[11:45] <red2kic> Zeu5: Then you go in. Check authorized_keys for any possible duplicates.
[11:45] <alkemann> Random832: sure, corner isnt so small, but also like using other sides
[11:46] <Zeu5> red2kic: i appreciate your suggestion. and your help despite your fatigue
[11:46] <Zeu5> red2kic: gng in to try now

[12:25] <levene_> I have emacs 23.1.1 on ubuntu 10.04. The default font is gorgeous :-) Emacs thinks it's DejaVu Sans Mono Book 12 according to the font selection dialog that appears when I select S-M1 Change buffer font. But this font looks quite different in other applications (such as the gnome terminal, or the font selection dialog box itself). How can I get the nice emacs rendering in other applications?
[12:25] <Gryllida> I'm looking for a multlingual dictionary. What can you suggest? Hello?
[12:25] <levene_> screenshot here: http://imagebin.ca/view/tuLKwB.html

[12:29] <iceroot> Kane_Hart: e.g. if you ask if you can install mac osx on xen, why should you ask in #ubuntu?
[12:29] <wildman> hello #ubuntu
[12:29] <Gryllida> Hi
[12:29] <Kane_Hart> because I could
[12:29] <Kane_Hart> and can
[12:29] <Kane_Hart> and did
[12:29] <tzanger> I build kernels all the time (I'm an old slackware user) but this is something specific in the deb-pkg target, which is what I am assuming I use to make an ubunutu kernel package

[12:30] <wildman> where did the gnome-open-url (or something like that) default URL handler go in 10.04?
[12:30] <evilsherpa> Kane_Hart never hurts to ask
[12:31]  * Gryllida diesn't know, maybe it's #gnome
[12:31] <Gryllida> -o+o
[12:31] <Gryllida> doesn't*
[12:37] <imaginativeone> anyone use umbrello for their software dev designs?
[12:37] <wildman> imaginativeone: I've moved away from that long ago... and started coding ;)
[12:38] <Gryllida> !anyone
[12:38] <imaginativeone> wildman: :-)
[12:38] <Gryllida> imaginativeone: just ask, if someone does, they'll reply
[12:38] <wildman> imaginativeone: UML is nice... for others to do ;)
[12:39] <wildman> Gryllida: your '#gnome' was as an answer to my Q?
[12:39] <zylogz80> Is there a gui tool to configure which kernel I boot into? I don't want to have to remember to select the proper kernel from grub on boot every time
[12:39] <Gryllida> wildman: not that an answer, but it might be it
[12:39] <wildman> Gryllida: ok, I'll try, thx
[12:39] <imaginativeone> how do I connect an activity to a note in umbrello?
[12:41] <Sereph> I manually added my hard drives to fstab but now ubuntu doesnt notice them unless I navigate to the mount point manually :| anyone know a fix?
[12:42] <Gryllida> HOW do I play MP3 here?
[12:42] <wildman> Gryllida: mplayer, vlc...
[12:43] <wildman> Gryllida: you may need to install the 'ugly' ffmpeg libs or some other 'ugly' (restricted codecs) libs
[12:43] <llutz> !paste |Sereph: paste your fstab at pastebin please
[12:43] <Gryllida> wildman: install these two? I need to know what exactly to install -if possible
[12:43] <coz_> Gryllida,  also be sure you have already install ubunt-restricted-extras    ffmpeg   then see if that works   they should play within rythmbox
[12:43] <wildman> Gryllida: one of 'em
[12:43] <Gryllida> wildman: mplayer? ok
[12:43] <wildman> Gryllida: or coz_ suggestion
[12:44] <Gryllida> wildman: coz_: please just give me the list of what to install
[12:44]  * Gryllida is lost
[12:44] <wildman> Gryllida: you actually need just the restricted libs (slowly waking up, 8:43 AM here... sorry)
[12:44] <Sereph> llutz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/447159/
[12:44] <Gryllida> wildman: which ones?
[12:44] <coz_> Gryllida,    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras   ffmpeg
[12:44] <wildman> Gryllida: please read what coz_ said, sorry zzzzz.z.zzzzz.z..zzzzz
[12:44] <Gryllida> wildman: Morning :)
[12:44]  * wildman will try to be more awake before speaking next time :P
[12:45] <Gryllida> OKok :D
[12:45]  * Sereph hands wildman a cafinated beverage
[12:45] <n2diy> please, no sleeping at the keyboard here, that is a Windoze thing.
[12:45] <wildman> Sereph: thanks, already had my caffeine morning shot... but it's not working... yet :)
[12:46] <thune3> zylogz80: what do you have to do "every time"?
[12:46] <llutz> Sereph: what do you mean with " ubuntu doesnt notice them "?
[12:46] <Sereph> wow the Disk usage analyzer says i have a 935gb mnt and that my / is full which it is not...
[12:47] <Sereph> llutz: for one that, two.. they dont show up in places or in computer
[12:47] <n2diy> Sereph: how do you know it is not?
[12:48] <Sereph> because this is a fairly new install thats why
[12:48] <zylogz80> thune3, I installed karmic and then installed the ubuntu studio packages. in order to use jack with the lowest latency I run the realtime kernel. I need to select the real time kernel on boot to boot into it. if this was grub 1 I'd edit the config file but grub2 is unfamiliar to me. I need a graphical tool to configure it.
[12:48] <Sereph> n2diy: it is seeing the mount points and following them
[12:48] <llutz> Sereph: nautilus-issue, no idea. they should be mounted at boottime
[12:49] <llutz> Sereph: "df -h /"
[12:49] <n2diy> Sereph: and that proves what? What does df tell you?
[12:49] <Sereph> llutz: /dev/sda1             1.4T   55G  1.3T   5% /
[12:49] <Sereph> very much not full
[12:49] <llutz> 1.4T for /  ? rofl
[12:49] <Sereph> its a whole disk...
[12:50] <wildbat> question, my laptop's screen won't off while lid close, it seem it only off (it blinks) at the moment of the lid button push  and release... anyhelp?
[12:50] <Gryllida> coz_: I see long output in Terminal, "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/verdan32.exe" mantioned, WTF? Do .exes run on Linux?
[12:50] <n2diy> Sereph: 5% of disk space is reserved during a normal install, your maxed out.
[12:50] <llutz> Sereph: ext3? have fun at next fs-check
[12:50] <Sereph> n2diy: huh?
[12:50] <UnoDos> [B[B/exit
[12:50] <coz_> Gryllida,  mmm  did you run that command?
[12:50] <zylogz80> found one, it is called startup manager.
[12:51] <Gryllida> coz_: yes I did
[12:51] <coz_> Gryllida,  and did it install?
[12:51] <Gryllida> coz_: and that line is what attracted my attention in the huge output that I got
[12:51] <coz_> Gryllida, ok  ..generally I go into synaptic package manager and install these things
[12:51] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[12:51] <Gryllida> coz_: no idea, it said lots of things, then Processing triggers for libc-bin ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[12:51] <Gryllida> user@computername:~$
[12:51] <stanley_robertso> I am new to this ubuntu .. going through ubuntu wiki page
[12:51] <coz_> Gryllida,   but if it installed  then try out the mp3 files and see if they work now
[12:52] <stanley_robertso> want to contribute as a developer
[12:52] <stanley_robertso> any inputs/pointers would be of great help
[12:52] <Gryllida> !contribute
[12:52] <coz_> stanley_robertso,  ah  you may want to visit  the #ubuntu-devel   channel
[12:52] <thune3> zylogz80: the main file for grub config is /etc/default/grub . You can set the 'default' kernel to boot using the "GRUB_DEFAULT" variable.
[12:52] <n2diy> Sereph: I just attemted to revive a hard drive, and one of the options was reserve disk space, and the default was 5%
[12:52] <stanley_robertso> join #ubuntu-devel
[12:53] <stanley_robertso> Thanks coz_
[12:53] <coz_> stanley_robertso,   almost   type   /join #ubuntu-devel
[12:53] <Sereph> n2diy: that is irrelivent... the 55gb is mostly my home, 49.5gb
[12:53] <stanley_robertso> :) ya.. igot it
[12:53] <coz_> stanley_robertso,  no problem    good luck :)
[12:53] <phong_> sup ddude
[12:54] <lapion> hmm anyone tried to compare ext3 fsck to ext4 ?
[12:54] <n2diy> Sereph: and what is / using?
[12:55] <Sereph> n2diy: ~5.5gb
[12:55] <phong_> didn't i said what's sup?
[12:55] <sinistrad> lapion, I read a little on it, and ext4 is faster for fsck from what I remember.
[12:55] <llutz> Sereph: tbh, your partitioning is not very usefull. you should have created at least 2 partitions. / and /home ,with /  about 10-20GB and the rest for /home
[12:55] <lapion> I have recently converted a ext3 to ext4 by moving data back and forth on different partitions
[12:55] <Gryllida> coz_: Thanks so much! mp3 plays now. I'm also looking for a multlingual dictionary. Can you suggest anything?
[12:55] <Sereph> llutz: i assume its too late now
[12:56] <phong_> is ahci mode better then Ide mode?
[12:56] <lapion> ext4 is approximately 10X faster in fsck
[12:56] <llutz> Sereph: there are tools to resize partitions, but i couldn't recommend it
[12:56] <n2diy> Sereph:, so 1.5t is free?
[12:56] <beli> Sereph: gparted
[12:56] <phong_> wow, youre' not talking
[12:57] <coz_> Gryllida,  mm  let me check
[12:57] <sinistrad> lapion, Nice. I stuck with ext3, and hope I rarely need fsck again
[12:57] <lapion> awell actually 50x faster, if you compare natively created fs compared to tune2fs converted filesystems
[12:57] <Sereph> !patience | phong_
[12:57] <llutz> n2diy: "  1.4T   55G  1.3T   5% /" means : "size - used - free - percentage used - mountpoint"
[12:57] <lapion> I am talking about filesystems with many huge video files...
[12:57] <beli> lapion: use xfs
[12:58] <coz_> Gryllida,  maybe   stardic    not sure
[12:58] <lapion> ext4 seems to work fine..
[12:58] <sinistrad> lapion, yes, it has to do with the amount of inodes too, but I'm not very well versed in the particulars.
[12:58] <viz> is there a reason why a java app would crash my comp? every single time i watch something with java, i have to restart
[12:58] <beli> lapion: xfs is best for really big files
[12:58] <beli> lapion: like video/audio data
[12:58] <coz_> Gryllida,   you could try  sudo apt-get install  stardic-gtk
[12:59] <lapion> will think about it..
[12:59] <n2diy> llutz: ok, don't have the sequence in memory, thougt the 5% was the unused.
[12:59] <coz_> Gryllida,   or better still... open  system/administration/synaptic package manager and  hit the Search button and type  in   stardic     you will see  a bunch of possible additions
[13:00] <coz_> Gryllida,   if you are unsure as to which packages to install...google    ubuntu stardic  or just   stardic  and read up on its possibilities
[13:00] <Gryllida> coz_: ok I'll try stardic
[13:01] <coz_> Gryllida,  also
[13:01] <coz_> Gryllida,  you could google    ubuntu mulitlingual dictionaries
[13:01] <Gryllida> coz_: it does not take its articles from online, does it? (I hate cloud computing)
[13:01] <coz_> Gryllida,  I am not sure I have never used stardic
[13:01] <n2diy> how do I see bogomips?
[13:01] <pozic> n2diy: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[13:02] <llutz> n2diy: grep bogo /proc/cpuinfo
[13:02] <tobylane> is there somewhere i can learn about making/running a repository
[13:02] <n2diy> thanks
[13:02] <pozic> tobylane: of what?
[13:02] <tobylane> software
[13:02] <pozic> tobylane: there are probably about 10 such systems.
[13:03] <pozic> tobylane: and it all depends on your exact needs.
[13:03] <tobylane> do you make it in the same program like svn
[13:03] <pozic> tobylane: IMHO, svn is a piece of shit.
[13:03] <llutz> tobylane: http://mediakey.dk/~cc/howto-create-your-own-debian-or-ubuntu-package-repository/
[13:03] <tobylane> ty
[13:03] <pozic> tobylane: mercurial seems to be fairly solid.
[13:04] <pozic> tobylane: git is also quite solid, and used by the Linux kernel.
[13:04] <tobylane> i was meaning in the svn up/svnserve and apt-get/what way
[13:04] <pozic> tobylane: just run Synaptic and search?
[13:04] <pozic> tobylane: and read documentation, done.
[13:04] <tobylane> imo i dont see the point in these two layer systems
[13:04] <tobylane> anyway, got hte answer, ty, bye
[13:04] <albinati> wireless
[13:05] <pozic> tobylane: that has been done a million times already.
[13:07] <data> hi. i had the problem that my system would not start anymore after the update to 10.04. It checked both partitions, and then it just stopped
[13:07] <data> now i reinstalled from scratch. but after installing all applications, whcih I had before, it just stopped again at the same spot
[13:07] <serengeti> hi. I've installed lucid on a rather old PC (Athlon XP 1.7, Radeon 8500, VIA KT333 chipset) and the performance is absymal. Any serious hard drive activity causes mouse pointer to jump around the screen instead of moving smoothly, dragging windows is also very choppy... Any ideas? Fedora 13 works fine on the same system.
[13:07] <data> adding --debug to the init-line did not really help either, because I can not scroll back far enough
[13:07] <lapion> the tiem it took to do a fsck on a e3 could be as long as 5 minutes compared to a e4fs 0,15 secs
[13:08] <wildman> bye ppl, enjoy !
[13:09] <serengeti> I've tried disabling KMS and switching to XAA, but it gets even worse.
[13:09] <thune3> data: did you try chrooting into your encrytped /, veryifying your crypttab, and rebuilding the initrd?
[13:09] <theoziran> When I am using a  ~ in terminal, I going to /, I'd change to go to /home/<user>
[13:12] <thune3> data: or are you unencrypted now?
[13:14] <erUSUL> serengeti: graphic card ?
[13:14] <eniac> Hi. I have a htpc which is running on Gentoo. I wish to switch to ubuntu. But I don't want to loose my /home partition. Is it possible to install ubuntu on this htpc and let it use the current /home partition without modifying it ?
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> eniac:  yes.  But you may need to fix the ownership/permissions of the files on /home to match the new user.
[13:14] <erUSUL> eniac: do not see why not... just choose a different login name ? and make sure it is not formatted during install
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> eniac:  I would just leave  the gentoo home alone during the install. then alter the fstab to point to the gentoo home after you get the system going
[13:15] <eniac> Can this all be selected from the Graphical install interface ?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> eniac:  tyhe gui installer has custom partioning feature
[13:15] <eniac> thanks I'll get it work then!
[13:16] <Balgan>  serengeti which graphics card u using? try lowering the visual effects!
[13:18] <lapion> serengeti, have you recently cleaned the system, removing all dust from all cooling systems
[13:18] <lapion> serengeti,  and of course do a cold start with memtest allowing it to run for 2 runs or something
[13:19] <data> thune3: yes, i am
[13:19] <serengeti> Balgan, it's a Radeon 8500 with 64 MB of memory - should be enough for compiz, as I said it works well in Fedora 13 so I thought it might be a configuration issue.
[13:20] <lapion> serengeti, remove all plugs from the system as well and make sure all parts ( including the processor) are well seated, and apply a slight amount of pressure to reassure they are all well seated
[13:20] <serengeti> lapion, the system is clean because I've just put it together :) but I'll try the memory test
[13:20] <lapion> too bad there is no memtest for vga..
[13:21] <serengeti> yeah...
[13:21] <serengeti> I'll try running some more tests..
[13:23] <Gryllida> Hi! How do I enable tree view of dirs in nautilus?
[13:23] <Gryllida> hierarchical
[13:23] <Gryllida> in sidebar
[13:25] <christ__> do anyone have any ideas on how do i access my router ip
[13:25] <christ__> i mean how do i find my router ip
[13:25] <Gryllida> christ__: try 10.1.1.0
[13:25] <ciphersson1> i want the buttons back on the right!
[13:26] <bazhang> ciphersson1, /msg ubottu controls
[13:26] <christ__> Gryllida: hey is it the default ip or something
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> ciphersson1:  so move them over.
[13:27] <ciphersson1> is there an easy way to do it?
[13:27] <serengeti> christ__, right click on the NetworkManager icon on the top panel and select Connection Information from the menu
[13:27] <bazhang> !controls | ciphersson1
[13:27] <kiamo> when I install wine, should winetricks be installed alongside?
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> ciphersson1:  yes.  read the bots directions. Or install ubuntu-tweak or  some of the other tools that let you do it with a gui
[13:27] <kiamo> or do I have to specifically install it afterwards?
[13:27] <serengeti> christ__, then try the IP described as "Default Route"
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  winetricks is not included.
[13:28] <kiamo> thanks
[13:28] <jbwiv_> Guys, every morning when I come into work my machine's screens are dark and it's locked up hard. Won't respond to pings. Hard reset is only way to get it back. I set up a hardware script and it usually freezes sometime before 2 am the night before. I've replaced ALL hardware except harddrives and CPUs now...yet still, the lockups. Could bad CPU or harddrive cause full system lockups?!?
[13:28] <jbwiv_> er...hardware heartbeat script, that is
[13:28] <christ__> serengeti: so should  i not be able to acccess my router settings doing http://default route ip
[13:28] <BMT22033> Linux n00b here...using a Dell PowerEdge T710 and Ubuntu 10.04 desktop.  The PowerEdge uses a Matrox G200eW GPU and I'm trying to get X running at my monitor's native res (1680x1050) with no luck.  If I cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I see that the DDC gathered ModeLines include one for 1680x1050 but further down in the log it says "Not using default mode '1680x1050' (width too large for virtual size)".  Anyone have an idea what the pro
[13:29] <ciphersson1> Thank you.
[13:30] <wilson> alguem sabe informar se da pra instalar o adminpak no ubuntu?
[13:30] <Pici> !br | wilson
[13:30] <wilson> ok
[13:30] <christ__> serengeti: hey i am getting my localhost'
[13:30] <wieshka> looks like i have problems with plymouth - my self maded tempalte is not working
[13:30] <wieshka> basicly i need just a splash image with no progress bar
[13:30] <serengeti> christ__, what's the ip?
[13:30] <Beyecixramd> wieshka: oh, another nooby plymouth themer? :)
[13:31] <Beyecixramd> wieshka: welcome to the team
[13:31] <christ__> 192.168.1.24
[13:31] <christ__> serengeti: : 192.168.1.24
[13:31] <wieshka> Beyecixramd: i prefered usplash, now i have make my theme on plymouth :)
[13:31] <christ__> serengeti: that is my ip when i do ifconfig
[13:31] <wieshka> hate that java scripting for .script file :)
[13:32] <serengeti> christ__, try 192.168.1.1
[13:32] <Beyecixramd> wieshka: Plymouth is way more beautiful and flexible
[13:32] <Beyecixramd> wieshka: a bit harder, only a bit. But it's worth it
[13:32] <wieshka> basicly the problem is that i have setted as default my tempalte, but it stills loads ubuntu default :)
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> Plymouth basically dosent work on  like 4 of my 5 machines. :()
[13:32] <wieshka> Beyecixramd: yea - i see, thats the reasons why i want to make theme on plymouth, not switching to usplash on first problem :)
[13:32] <christ__> serengeti: hey thanks for that
[13:33] <serengeti> christ__: np
[13:33] <wieshka> does plymouth has option to see how does splash will look like without reboot ?
[13:33] <wieshka> tried --show-splash option :)
[13:34] <wieshka> but i supouse that is for boot
[13:34] <wieshka> option
[13:34] <lefantomedlopera> hello
[13:34] <lefantomedlopera> is there a way to put the startup sound in lxdx?
[13:34] <wieshka> on what distro plymouth was default for a while ?
[13:34] <wieshka> maybe they can help out
[13:34] <wieshka> suse ?
[13:34] <Balgan> fedora
[13:34] <Balgan> i think
[13:35] <Skellz> Does anyone here use XFire for any reason?
[13:35] <g3oM1> i have install gmameui
[13:35] <g3oM1> but when i m going to run a rom
[13:36] <g3oM1> it throws me that something is missing
[13:36] <kiamo> is ubuntu x64 more unstable that x32?
[13:36] <Vroomfondle> kiamo: no
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> g3oM1:  with mame you have to have the roms and other related mame files in a set location, or make the config file/settings point to the proper place.
[13:36] <Vroomfondle> not these days
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> kiamo:  i find 64bit very useable
[13:37] <wieshka> kiamo:  i prefer 64 bit only for server, not desktop
[13:37] <wieshka> but that is my choise :)
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> I can onlu think of 1 app that i use. tjhat is 32bit only.. thats 'zsnes' :)
[13:38] <dwj> ...
[13:38] <MaMoUs> what is the best Desktop recorder for Ubuntu ?
[13:38] <wieshka> Beyecixramd: does this works for you ?
[13:38] <wieshka> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-tipplymouth-themes-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[13:38] <sanousy> looking for a good resource in vala can anyone tell me a good channel?
[13:38] <g3oM1> Dr_Willis how i do that ?
[13:38] <natalie> Hi, I am running Lucid and am very happy on a hp nx6125 laptop,I have 1 problem, when I put in a sd card from my camera it gives me "Unable to mount KODAK" not authorized message, is there a solution anyone knows about, I did google already
[13:39] <sanousy> I mean source of examples!!
[13:39] <Beyecixramd> wieshka: looks like it should do the trick
[13:39] <kiamo> wieshka, any particular reason for that?
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> g3oM1:   I keep all my mame roms and stuff in my users /home/username/.mame directory and the dirs are  all the ones the  mame docs say to use.   theres like 4 different dirs for the core stuff, roms, sound samples, artwork, and a few others.
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> !mame
[13:39] <Beyecixramd> MaMoUs: gtk-recordmydesktop
[13:39] <Beyecixramd> MaMoUs: something like that it's called
[13:40] <wieshka> kiamo: thats my choise - on my laptop i had problems with 64 bit - thats all - basicly for normaly supported platforms it should work better than 32 bit
[13:40] <MaMoUs> Beyecixramd: thx man i will download it now ^^
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> g3oM1:  http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions
[13:41] <kiamo> wieshka, yea I've been struggling a bit with x64 on my laptop.  Although I don't quite believe that's it, maybe I should give 32bit a try just in case
[13:41] <wieshka> kiamo: what is the problem ?
[13:42] <jbwiv_> Guys, every morning when I come into work my machine's screens are dark and it's locked up hard. Won't respond to pings. Hard reset is only way to get it back. I set up a hardware script and it usually freezes sometime before 2 am the night before. I've replaced ALL hardware except harddrives and CPUs now...yet still, the lockups. Could bad CPU or harddrive cause full system lockups?!?
[13:42] <nascentmind> hi. I am trying to setup a small package in my local repository. I have set my sources.list file as -> deb http://localhost mypackage/ . When I do a apt-get install mypackage i get failed to fetch http://localhost/./mypackage 404 not found. How can i fix this?
[13:42] <jbwiv_> er...hardware heartbeat script, that is
[13:42] <wieshka> lol - now my tempalte loads just blank (black) - no image :)
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  could be some auto-running task thats doing it. not hardware.
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_: but that would be weird.
[13:43] <jbwiv_> Dr_Willis, what task could completely freeze a machine?
[13:43] <jbwiv_> Dr_Willis, I mean, I would understand slowing a machine down under load, but freezing it?
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  be an interesting test to determine exactly how long/when/what time its doing it. You could ssh in and mointor the conection to see when its doing it.
[13:43] <wieshka> jbwiv_: unsuccesfull ppp connection with low reconnect time for example can compleatly freaze :)
[13:44] <kiamo> well I have a questionably stable hard drive.  Although it works fine when windows is using the partitions.  The fs keeps getting messed up, and then this morning I lost a bunch of data, including grub, which I reinstalled earlier from a live cd.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  could be  a powersaver type feature causing issues.. or some gfx driver thats sucking down memory with a lean.
[13:44] <jbwiv_> For what it's worth, before replacing the power supply it would lock up while I was using it....it would just completely freeze
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  This is a 'desktop' machine? or a Server not running X?
[13:44] <jbwiv_> however, since the power supply replacement, it only freezes at night when I'm not using it
[13:44] <jbwiv_> Dr_Willis, it's a desktop machine. Installed fresh from Lucid alternate
[13:44] <jbwiv_> using LVM+Raid1
[13:44] <jbwiv_> software raid
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  Hmm.. That could be somthing going weird on the MB then.    Or have you repalced that also?
[13:45] <jbwiv_> Dr_Willis, yes, replaced it
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> I dobnt touch raid stuff...
[13:45] <jbwiv_> Dr_Willis, I've replaced *everything* except harddrive and CPU now
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  as a test you could turn off X, and let it run  and see if it does it.
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  so you now have 2 machines.. :) (well almost)
[13:45] <kiamo> wieshka, today's problem was distinctly different than the usual fs error.  Usually the fs just remounts as read only due to an error of some kind, and then when I fsck it, i end up needing to reinstall
[13:45] <jbwiv_> Does anyone know if Ubuntu commercial support handles this sort of problem?
[13:46] <jbwiv_> I'm willing to pay $200 to solve ;-)
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  for $200 you can buy a little desktop machine. :)
[13:46] <jbwiv_> Dr_Willis, yes, but this is a $1700 machine. I'd prefer to fix it ;)
[13:46] <jbwiv_> dual quad core xeons with 12gb ram
[13:47] <wieshka> jbwiv_: it is for desktop or server ? :)
[13:47] <jbwiv_> wieshka, desktop
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_: if its a desktop.. why not just turn it off every night. :)
[13:47] <wieshka> kiamo: strange case, maybe try 32 bit :)
[13:47] <Beyecixramd> Dr_Willis: maybe he downloads stuff at night. I do that
[13:47] <a_m_y> hi, wanted to know if ubuntu will not be supporting Xen as like in Red Hat? tnx in advance
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> It could be the cleaning lady plugging in her vacume cleaner in the same circuit causing it to get a power surge.
[13:47] <Beyecixramd> Dr_Willis: my machine is usually rebooted every 2 weeks or so
[13:48] <jbwiv_> Dr_Willis, because that's a productivity hit. I'm often working on many things and shutting them down each night would make me lose my spots. Plus, that's just hiding a problem
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  that would also be a interesting test.  what IS it doing as its sitting there idleing?
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> jbwiv_:  it could be trying to auto-hibernate/suspend
[13:48] <kiamo> wieshka, yea, I think I will.  I'll use it for a week before trusting in it though.  I'm really eager to place my trust in ubuntu lol.  Really don't want to end up back on windows... lol
[13:48] <lachouffe> when trying to automount a fat hdd at start via fstab, i get a double entry of that partition in nautilus
[13:48] <jbwiv_> Dr_Willis, good question. my monitor checks the temps and they all look good, but I'm not sure the load average. I'll add that to the check
[13:48] <lachouffe> here is my  fstab entry: UUID=4A34-B6C1 /media/DATA vfat user,uid=nach,gid=nach 0 0
[13:49] <MaMoUs> i cant run any song and youtube to play together
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> lachouffe:  uid and gid are numbers.. not  the users name
[13:49] <wieshka> MaMoUs: what is CPU load, when you use youtube/flash ?
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> Unless that feature got added  sand i missed it..
[13:49] <MaMoUs> wieshka: how to know that ?
[13:50] <debuggerboy> hello
[13:50] <suji> i installed centos 5.5 then i install ubuntu 9.10, now the centos is not come in the list when i reboot the system
[13:50] <debuggerboy> I am not getting sound to work on ubuntu 10.04
[13:50] <lachouffe> Dr_Willis, ok i'lll try with it
[13:51] <MaMoUs> wieshka: ??
[13:51] <wieshka> MaMoUs: use top or htop via terminal
[13:51] <MaMoUs> wieshka: and i'm sorry i'm n000b :P
[13:52] <MaMoUs> wieshka: what to do then ?
[13:52] <wieshka> !cli | MaMoUs
[13:53] <MaMoUs> wieshka: no man i did it i write top in terminal then what u need from me
[13:53] <wieshka> what is the CPU usage ?
[13:54] <varela> uystoy en el chat e
[13:54] <varela> quiene quiere ser amigo mio
[13:55] <kermit> whats a better way to watch youtube videos?   i hate their player.
[13:55] <MaMoUs> wieshka: oky i did top then ?? what u want from me ?
[13:55] <kiamo> isn't there a new playing that makes use of the new html5?
[13:56] <Balgan> kermit, change to HTML5
[13:56] <Balgan> its much better
[13:56] <dwj> ...................................
[13:58] <MaMoUs> ubuntu 10.04 sound don't won't work on youtube and rythembox at the same time
[13:59] <Beyecixramd> where does VBox mount the guest additions in the guest?
[13:59] <wieshka> there is no logical reason for that MaMoUs - youtube uses flash, rhytmbox is software
[13:59] <wieshka> ]
[14:00] <wieshka> the problems can be with your CPU usage
[14:00] <sipior> wieshka: there is a very logical reason: his software mixer is broken :-)
[14:00] <wieshka> or sound output for rhytmbox is different as for system
[14:00] <wieshka> MaMoUs: install alsa-mixer and check your sound levels
[14:00] <wieshka> for sound interfaces
[14:01] <emmex>  /query elmex
[14:01] <wieshka> sipior: the problem is not for youtube & rhytm
[14:01] <wieshka> but for flash & rhytm
[14:01] <wieshka> flash uses default
[14:01] <wieshka> rhytm has configured on some other interface sound
[14:01] <emmex> sorry ^^
[14:02] <sipior> wieshka: none of what you just wrote made any sense at all.
[14:02] <wieshka> for example i have HDMI sound output and analog sound output
[14:02] <MaMoUs> wieshka: i cant find alsa-mixer in synaptic
[14:02] <Oer> alsamixer is allready installed
[14:03] <Oer> terminal> alsamixer
[14:03] <kiamo> how do I install something via wine on the command line?
[14:03] <kiamo> I have the exe in my Downloads folder
[14:04] <sipior> kiamo: "wine foo.exe" should just work, as i recall.
[14:04] <wieshka> kiamo wine your.exe will launch it
[14:04] <wieshka> if it is a setup - it will launch setup
[14:04] <kiamo> it doesn't says its not in my system32 directory
[14:05] <wieshka> you need to install all software and .dll's what your exe depends on windows
[14:05] <MaMoUs> i cant find any thing in it
[14:05] <MaMoUs> all of them are full sound
[14:05] <aar> I have no intention to start a flmae war, but I have recently upgraded to kde4 from kde3 (after updating my sistem from hardy to lucid) and it feels a bit sluggish. Is this a kde4 issue or would gnome be pretty much the same?
[14:06] <kiamo> actually wine doesn't seem to be working properly at all
[14:06] <kiamo> I cant bring up the wine config gui screen
[14:06] <lyhana8> hello I got a problem with aptitude, I fail to update the repositories list
[14:06] <sipior> kiamo: it rarely works properly, truth be told :-)
[14:06] <MaMoUs> wieshka: i ran alsamixer but nothing is wrong there,
[14:06] <lyhana8> I got this: Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:8118
[14:06] <lyhana8> I think that related to privoxy/tor
[14:06] <kiamo> sipior, yea that's my experience lol
[14:06] <kiamo> It usually works better than this though haha
[14:06] <edilma> any people from rio de janeiro
[14:07] <MaMoUs> sipior: man soo if my alsamixer is broken how to fix it ?

[14:13] <aar> I have no intention to start a flame war, but I have recently upgraded to kde4 from kde3 (after updating my system from hardy to lucid) and it feels a bit sluggish. Is this a kde4 issue or would gnome be pretty much the same?
[14:13] <sipior> MaMoUs: you get sound from flash when it's the only audio source, right?
[14:13] <Balgan> its not a flame war issue aar

[14:15] <koblitz> lachouffe: What icons do you want to see or replace?
[14:15] <aar> I guess I'll just have to download the gnome version of the installation disk and give it a ride
[14:16] <lachouffe> koblitz, I lost my music icon and want to restore it
[14:16] <sipior> MaMoUs: also, what version of flash are you currently running?
[14:16] <indus> aar i think kde works better than gnome
[14:16] <indus> even though its all nice and slick , uses memory better is what i hear
[14:16] <aar> indus, in what way?
[14:16] <sipior> MaMoUs: check here, under "Known Issues": https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio

[14:17] <TyanColte> indus: any way to fix?
[14:17] <indus> TyanColte, a bug i believe with plymouth , the splash manager
[14:17] <aar> indus, i see. maybe what i really need is a fresh install. maybe all those upgrades are taking their toll.
[14:17] <koblitz> lachouffe: right click on the music folder and use the /usr/share/icons folder
[14:17] <TyanColte> reinstall plymouth?
[14:17] <Franz_> noob question: what directory should i install software like eclipse to in general, if i download the all-in-one package?
[14:17] <indus> TyanColte, using a proprietary driver ?
[14:18] <TyanColte> yep

[14:19] <lachouffe> koblitz, yes i know how to change them, but what i'm looking it the file that link it
[14:19] <TyanColte> maybe in compiz or somewhere else
[14:19] <lachouffe> I mean the file that link a filder name to an icon
[14:19] <koblitz> /usr/share/icons
[14:19] <indus> well, all these new changes they made to boot process does affect

[14:21] <TyanColte> indus: you went quiet
[14:21] <tzanger> do I have to modify the binary-custom.d/ config for a particular flavor to include my specific config changes?
[14:22] <MaMoUs> sipior: not working
[14:22] <tzanger> I don't want to build all flavors, just my own damn config
[14:22] <sipior> MaMoUs: ?
[14:22] <indus> TyanColte, ohhhhhhhhhayyyyyyyyy  how is that
[14:22] <MaMoUs> sipior: the known issu

[14:23] <sipior> MaMoUs: you're not paying by the word; care to be more specific? what exactly did you try? how did it fail?

[14:24] <ZykoticK9> Gregory, lol sorry ;)
[14:24] <busyfingers> hi , this might seem a silly queston but i am considering upgrading from copper wire internet connection( broadband) to fibre optic, is this likely to cause issues with ubuntu, assuing an ethernet conection from the computer to the router?
[14:24] <om26er> ZykoticK9, quit gwibber and then start gwibber-service -d -o  and pastebin the results
[14:24] <TyanColte> indus: like i said before, i think i accidentially disabled it in like compiz or something else, but i don't remember where i was playing around before it dissappeared
[14:24] <ntz_prg> hi there
[14:24] <indus> TyanColte, disabled what
[14:25] <om26er> ZykoticK9, it is preferred that you disable your other accounts
[14:25] <TyanColte> the ubuntu splash screen
[14:25] <ntz_prg> anyone here for epic insulting fight with real solaris/bsd evangelist?
[14:25] <TyanColte> it didn't go away until after i did something probably stupid
[14:25] <ntz_prg> heh :)
[14:25] <TyanColte> it worked before even with the propriety drivers
[14:25] <TyanColte> proprietary**
[14:25] <sergi> im running a compaq nx6110 with Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML graphics, but it seems xserver doesn't recognize the driver and so i'm stuck with 1024x768 resolution right now. should i change the xorg.conf to add the resolution manually or is there a way of getting a proprietary driver or so?
[14:25] <juan__> can anyone help me with vitual box?
[14:26] <TyanColte> indus: ... did you get any of that?
[14:26] <indus> TyanColte, ok

[14:27] <masu3701> i sale computers ...is there any database type software i can use organize my inventory and track my stuff..am tired of using excel
[14:27] <ZykoticK9> om26er, i didn't disable other accounts i'm afraid but you can certainly see problems with facebook http://paste.ubuntu.com/447199/
[14:28] <Mahmoud> gays

[14:28] <maco> Mahmoud: ?
[14:28] <sipior> Mahmoud: i think it might be freudian
[14:28] <maco> Mahmoud: "gays"?

[14:29] <Mahmoud> sorry maco

[14:29] <Promethes> anyone experienced lucid slowness when scrolling large list (in rhythmbox or synaptic for example )?
[14:30] <indus> TyanColte, no idea
[14:30] <indus> TyanColte, probably somewhere in grub
[14:30] <sergi> im running a compaq nx6110 with Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML graphics, but it seems xserver doesn't recognize the driver and so i'm stuck with 1024x768 resolution right now. should i change the xorg.conf to add the resolution manually or is there a way of getting a proprietary driver or so?
[14:30] <indus> TyanColte, /etc/default/grub
[14:30] <Mahmoud> can any one help ??
[14:30] <maco> Mahmoud: what do you mean win7 themes? i didnt think those would work with linux...
[14:31] <Mahmoud> no it works fine
[14:31] <indus> Mahmoud,how did you install win 7 themes on ubuntu?
[14:31] <Mahmoud> its sh installation file
[14:31] <jbwiv_> is there an official canonical channel where you can ask questions about commercial ubuntu support?
[14:31] <Dargon> anyone here good with eggdrop, the guys in #eggdrop arent to active atm
[14:31] <mbeierl> How can I stop the indicator applet from taking over the Super-M keystroke?
[14:31] <indus> Mahmoud, ok
[14:31] <busyfingers> Mahmoud:  I wold also be interested in trying that one
[14:31] <Mahmoud> i download it and i install it by terminal
[14:31] <maco> jbwiv_: not that im aware of. you'd probably have to phone
[14:31] <indus> jbwiv_, no you have to contact them directly
[14:32] <sergi> maybe i should have said gays too first to get some more attention
[14:32] <indus> jbwiv_, depending on whether they have commercial support in your country
[14:32] <jbwiv_> indus, ok, ok. I'm in the US
[14:32] <Mahmoud> so i need to un install it
[14:32] <indus> jbwiv_, then great
[14:32] <indus> jbwiv_, no issues, phone them, or drop in here for free support
[14:32] <jbwiv_> indus, can't seem to find their number, but I'll look again
[14:33] <maco> sergi: there are no proprietary drivers for intel. intel makes their driverse all open source
[14:33] <indus> jbwiv_, just visit canonical.com not ubuntu
[14:33] <jbwiv_> trying to understand the difference between personal support and advantage
[14:33] <jbwiv_> indus, ok
[14:33] <Mahmoud> ??
[14:33] <indus> jbwiv_, good lucks
[14:33] <maco> sergi: if your screen's native resolution is not being detected, try http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution (if that doesnt work, swap Resolution and Config)
[14:33] <indus> Mahmoud, so what do you want
[14:34] <maco> Mahmoud: can you link to the .sh file? we cant possibly have any idea what it did
[14:34] <Mahmoud> i need to uninstall it
[14:34] <jbwiv_> indus, thx
[14:34] <indus> Mahmoud, if there is some problem with the theme, you need to uninstall it
[14:34] <Mahmoud> yes
[14:34] <maco> indus: Mahmoud cant figure out how to uninstall it
[14:34] <Mahmoud> i need to uninstall it
[14:34] <indus> jbwiv_, there is a support link on that site which is probably of use to you
[14:34] <indus> maco, oh oops
[14:34] <Mahmoud> that is right maco
[14:34] <maco> Mahmoud: you need to link us to the .sh file, because we're not psychic
[14:34] <indus> maco, thanks
[14:34] <ncfi1013> how do i get the menu bar back in ktorrent?
[14:35] <indus> jbwiv_, http://www.canonical.com/consumer-services/support
[14:35] <Mahmoud> what u mean by link us to the sh file ?
[14:35] <jbwiv_> indus, thx
[14:35] <sergi> can anybody help me with the graphic problems?
[14:35] <maco> Mahmoud: the .sh file you used to install the theme. give us the link for where you downloaded it
[14:35] <sergi> ...or not
[14:35] <maco> sergi: i already gave you an answer
[14:35] <sergi> maco, really?
[14:35] <Mahmoud> ok
[14:35] <Mahmoud> i will
[14:36] <Mahmoud> waait for me
 sergi: if your screen's native resolution is not being detected, try http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution (if that doesnt work, swap Resolution and Config)
[14:36] <sergi> maco, my xchat was supposed to tell me
[14:36] <ZykoticK9> om26er, i am able to sign in to web site just fine.  Tried re-connecting then re-creating the FB account in Gwibber, no change.
 sergi: there are no proprietary drivers for intel. intel makes their driverse all open source
[14:36] <indus> Mahmoud, check in that file you downloaded for a readme file to uninstall and probably you can run an existing uninstall script
[14:37] <maco> indus: if its just a sh not a tarball its not going to have another readme attached to it...
[14:37] <sergi> maco so there should be a driver listed in Hardware Drivers anyway, but isn't
[14:37] <maco> indus: it probably has a wget inside the sh
[14:37] <indus> maco, true that
[14:37] <om26er> ZykoticK9, in gwibber when you are asked to put in your facebook email there put you facebook ID (not email)
[14:37] <maco> sergi: no there shouldnt
[14:37] <sergi> maco, just the default driver?
[14:37] <maco> sergi: that program is ONLY for getting proprietary drivers
[14:37] <ZykoticK9> om26er, ahhh let me try that!
[14:37] <sergi> maco, oh alright
[14:37] <indus> maco, so what are his options
[14:37] <maco> sergi: yes. intel ONLY has open source drivers, because they are a good open source citizen
[14:37] <maco> indus: read the .sh file and see what it did, then undo that
[14:37] <Mahmoud> only install.sh and apply theme.sh
[14:38] <Mahmoud> and the change log file
[14:38] <Mahmoud> nothing more
[14:38] <sergi> maco, then i'll just add a line to xorg.conf
[14:38] <ncfi1013> how do i get the menu bar back in ktorrent?
[14:38] <indus> maco, you mean open as text file
[14:38] <maco> sergi: why? why not use xrandr like the wiki page i linked you to explains?
[14:38] <Mahmoud> i will try to get u the download link
[14:38] <maco> sergi: if you want to add a line to xorg.conf youre going to have to create an xorg.conf from scratch to start with
[14:38] <ZykoticK9> om26er, when i recreate the FB account in Gwibber, it is "asking" for my email, i'll try putting the FB ID instead
[14:38] <maco> indus: yes
[14:38] <indus> you can use vi to open sh files i think
[14:38] <indus> or gedit
[14:39] <sergi> maco i'm running 9.04
[14:39] <indus> maco, wow so that means he has to manually remove whatever the script did
[14:39] <maco> indus: i know... but i dont have the file yet. he didnt post a link to it
[14:39] <maco> indus: yes
[14:39] <indus> ok go to smoke
[14:39] <indus> :)
[14:39] <maco> sergi: yeah and that didnt have an xorg.conf by default. neither did 8.10. or even 8.04
[14:39] <indus> Mahmoud, give the file link
[14:39] <maco> sergi: that file's been gone for at least 2 years
[14:40] <sergi> sergi i must have been living in a cave
[14:40] <sergi> i mean maco
[14:40] <Mahmoud> can i send u the sh file from here ?
[14:40] <sergi> maco, anyways, thanks a lot
[14:40] <vagothcpp_> Hey, i am attempting to install vmware-tools, but i get a message saying: The script you are attempting to run has been converted into an Upstart job, but lsb-header is not supported for Upstart jobs, is there a way to not convert it into an upstart job, i belive it's a perl script or something of the sort ./vmware-tools-config.pl
[14:40] <smooth_penguin> have anyone here used a display link/ usb to vga adaptor
[14:41] <ZykoticK9> om26er, no change with the User ID vs Email.  Thanks very much for the help, i'm gonna ignore it for now.  Most likely it will start working again in a couple of days, if the trend continues.

[15:01] <Mahmoud> first i will visit the link
[15:01] <robin0800> levene_: not as far as I know
[15:01] <maco> Mahmoud: thats just on a quick google. there are lots of other tools for doing backups, but that i guess is meant to be easy
[15:01] <Pici> !backup
[15:02] <Mahmoud> ooh i see
[15:02] <simps> how does ubuntu fund itself?
[15:02] <maco> simps: canonical (the company behind ubuntu) gets money from selling training and support contracts and from being contracted by hardware manufacturers to make drivers for their hardware
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> simps:  by the canonical company   http://www.canonical.com/
[15:03] <simps> ahh
[15:03] <simps> interesting
[15:03] <simps> i assume that's alot, then
[15:03] <forceflow> plus, shuttleworth is a billionaire.
[15:03] <simps> to provide all of this
[15:03] <maco> simps: the majority of ubuntu developers are unpaid volunteers
[15:03] <bvq> keitherz: yes but then that A) locks the screen on remote desktop and B) if I unlock in remote, it unlocks the local screen.  Thats a security issue.  Sounds like the remote desktop is more of a desktop sharing than a remote desktop
[15:03] <maco> simps: however, launchpad.net is mostly paid canonical employees
[15:04] <simps> launchpad is pretty legit
[15:04] <simps> i wish i were a billionaire
[15:04]  * maco would be worried if lp was illegitimate
[15:04] <simps> lol
[15:04] <Montblanc> pretty please, have a look at this bug, thanks! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/591532
[15:04] <mrbigg> hi all...  looking for help with NIS
[15:05] <keitherz> bvq, it is a desktop sharing. but you can log in to a different account and the other account is still locked
[15:05] <maco> Montblanc: i get that in dmesg too. hasnt actually affected anything though
[15:05] <simps> so i messed up my hard drive while partitioning it for dual boot. and now i'm reinstalling it. fun stuff, isnt it?
[15:05] <wiola> chej
[15:06] <mrbigg> anyone with NIS experience can help me out??   problem is with user management on clients
[15:07]  * d3vil can any help me ?
[15:07] <Pici> !ask | d3vil
[15:07] <simps> !help
[15:08] <simps> stupid ubottu
[15:08] <ZachK_> simps: what do you need
[15:08] <simps> nothing ;D
[15:08] <simps> i just wanted to play around with ubottu commands
[15:08] <ZachK_> simps: So you're going to play with the bot for no reason? That's not what it's there for...
[15:08] <mrbigg> I have NIS server setup properly, NIS client is working, is there a way to manage NIS domain users with GUI?
[15:08] <bvq> keitherz: so out of the box theres no option for just remote and no sharing.
[15:09] <simps> well "play around" was loose terminology for find out what they are and put them to good use
[15:09] <ZachK_> simps: ok...
[15:09] <solow> hey. someone in here once helped me fix my wireless issue. I have a acer extensa 5200 and a broadcom 802.11g network adapter. I cant quite remember how I got my wireless working back then, I could really use some help after a lot of googling.
[15:10] <Montblanc> maco, thanks for answering! do you have an ali chipset?
[15:10] <keitherz> bvq, i think theres a config somewhere that you can make it create a new session on the server... i just dont know
[15:10] <aeon-ltd> solow: was it with ndiswrapper?
[15:10] <Mahmoud> maco : when i try to execute this in terminal : sudo dpkg -P --force-dependencies <those packages> it gives me syntax error
[15:10] <solow> aeon-ltd, i think so, yeah. sounds familiar
[15:10] <maco> Montblanc: no, intel
[15:10] <maco> Mahmoud: *headdesk*
[15:10] <mikelifeguard> On the CLI, how can I see how big a directory and it's contents are (all the down)?
[15:10] <maco> Mahmoud: replace the text "<those packages>" with the list of packages
[15:10] <aeon-ltd> solow: did you have to download the windows driver for it to work?
[15:11] <llutz> mikelifeguard: du
[15:11] <Mahmoud> hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[15:11] <solow> aeon-ltd, I can't remember, sorry.
[15:11] <Mahmoud> sorry man
[15:11] <Montblanc> maco, ok, so it's not a pata_ali issue, at least! but i wonder what do those messages mean
[15:11] <mrbigg> I have NIS server setup properly, NIS client is working, is there a way to manage NIS domain users with GUI?
[15:11] <aeon-ltd> solow: do you know what sepcific model it is?
[15:11] <Mahmoud> all the packages name ?
[15:11] <Mahmoud> or one of them
[15:11] <Mahmoud> ?
[15:11] <solow> aeon-ltd, broadcom 802.11g
[15:11] <maco> Mahmoud: all the theme ones that showed up when you ran "dpkg -l *theme | grep ^ii"
[15:11] <aeon-ltd> solow: no the model number
[15:11] <mrbigg> I have NIS server setup properly, NIS client is working, is there a way to manage NIS domain users with GUI?   Can I add nid users to local groups?
[15:12] <Mahmoud> ok
[15:12] <aeon-ltd> solow: do you know how to use command line?
[15:13] <solow> aeon-ltd, the assembly version? 4.167.75.21
[15:13] <Montblanc> sorry, quassel crashed -.-
[15:13] <mikelifeguard> llutz: thanks :)
[15:14] <aeon-ltd> solow: no, in a terminal type lsusb or lspci tell me what model number it is
[15:14] <vagothcpp_> Anyone know of a good guide to installing vmware-tools on Ubuntu Server 10.04LTS?
[15:14] <solow> aeon-ltd, yeah, I still have windows on it. I dont want to install ubuntu before making sure it'll work.
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> !vmware

[15:21] <Pici> Mahmoud: do not include the angle brackets around that argument.
[15:22] <civixier> Hi! I just put in a network card in my computer. I have used it under linux before without any problems, but now it wont show up in ifconfig. What to do?
[15:23] <Mahmoud> after removing the angles : dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove ,humanity-icon-theme which isn't installed
[15:23] <erUSUL> civixier: does it appear in lspci ? show us the line
[15:23] <maco> Mahmoud: where'd the comma come from?
[15:23] <An_Ony_Moose> where did the volume icon in the notification area go in 10.04?
[15:24] <tiger506> why i can't login the QQ server
[15:24] <maco> An_Ony_Moose: check that pulseaudio is running
[15:24] <erUSUL> An_Ony_Moose: to the indicator area.... you need indicator-sound installed
[15:24] <Mahmoud> its between themes names
[15:24] <Mahmoud> its alot of name
[15:24] <maco> Mahmoud: no commas. just spaces
[15:24] <Mahmoud> ok
[15:25] <An_Ony_Moose> maco, yes it is

[15:26] <erUSUL> An_Ony_Moose: worked for me... the sound icon appeared with the other ones...
[15:26] <Mahmoud> it just started
[15:26] <solow> I think my problem is a lil bit more complex. See I wish to install as small as possible, linux on my 4GB flash drive. And I'd wish to install my wireless, and xbmc-linux, to use on my thin client... :p
[15:26] <corespeedxxx> I'm looking for an synergy/X11 mashup application. Imagine dragging a window from one linux box, to another linux box. Next to each other, on the same desk.
[15:26] <erUSUL> civixier: is this one Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) ?
[15:26] <hasibullah> Sallam Dear all of you
[15:27] <civixier> erUSUL that is the other card, integrated in the motherboard =/
[15:27] <hasibullah> how to access restricted web sites with my web browser i heared of something tunnel making web sites is that true
[15:27] <erUSUL> civixier: then it is not correctly plugged (or the pci slot is busted or whatever) it should show up in lspci...
[15:28] <civixier> erUSUL, okay, thanks! Im gonna go ahead and try another slot and hope that it isnt the card. :)
[15:28] <An_Ony_Moose> erUSUL, it's probably not running... any idea how I can start it?
[15:29] <erUSUL> An_Ony_Moose: do not think they are separated binaries now ...
[15:30] <erUSUL> An_Ony_Moose: maybe you need to add the indicator area to one of your panels ¿?
[15:30] <An_Ony_Moose> oh RIIIIIIGHT
[15:30] <mrbigg> I have NIS server setup properly, NIS client is working, is there a way to manage NIS domain users with GUI?   Can I add nis users to local groups?
[15:30] <An_Ony_Moose> I have only the notification area... why were indicator area and notification area separated?
[15:30] <An_Ony_Moose> :|
[15:31] <p1l0t> Is there an open office channel on freenode besides #openoffice (1 user)
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> corespeedxxx:  seen that sort of done ages ago..  not very well. :)
[15:31] <erUSUL> An_Ony_Moose: they call it innovation ... is where the me-menu and other "cool" stuff resides :)
[15:32] <ylmfos> hello
[15:33] <addle> Hi
[15:33] <civixier> erUSUL I put it in another pci port, and now it works :D Dont know if I didnt put it in correctly before or if the PCI port is busted, but it works now anyways. Thanks :)
[15:34] <erUSUL> civixier: no problem
[15:34] <p1l0t> p1l0t: #openoffice.org
[15:35] <mikelifeguard> How can I a list of HD partitions and how large they are? fdisk seems to give only # of sectors...
[15:35] <erUSUL> mikelifeguard: if they are mounted « df -h »
[15:36] <mikelifeguard> hm, skipped a word there :P
[15:36] <mikelifeguard> aha, yay :)
[15:36] <Dr_Willis> fdisk -l mentopmns the drive size  in the header part of the listing for each hd i thouight
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> but youi want partitions I guess. :)

[15:40] <erUSUL> mikelifeguard: this works well too --> sudo aprted /dev/sdx print
[15:40] <mikelifeguard> Dr_Willis: yes, partition sizes

[15:44] <An_Ony_Moose> wompy_dompy, ask your question here
[15:44] <An_Ony_Moose> not sure if there is an evolution channel, but you'll probably get an answer here
[15:45] <iflema> wompy_dompy #evolution on irc.gimp.org
[15:45] <solow> gimp=fail
[15:45] <gizmobay> Will the Flash beta 10.1 work on 64 bit?
[15:46] <wompy_dompy> @solow what do you mean?
[15:46] <wompy_dompy> wrong server?
[15:46] <Mahmoud> maco : u still here ?
[15:46] <solow> gimp, the software, it's terrible, i hate it :p

[15:46] <wompy_dompy> not my problem, i want evolution to work ;)
[15:46] <An_Ony_Moose> why  did you even say it?
[15:46] <maco> Mahmoud: yep
[15:46] <Mahmoud> after finishing all of this
[15:47] <solow> wompy_dompy, evolution as in, the mail client?
[15:47] <danutz> hello all ..I have a dns server and I want to set a domain to my name server..I will configure only apache for the servname etc or apache and set the domain in bind too ?

[15:47] <Mahmoud> i mean any thing stop working ?
[15:47] <solow> wompy_dompy, what seems to be the problem?
[15:47] <maco> Mahmoud: did you reinstall all of the theme packages after you finished the purging?
[15:48] <Mahmoud> yes
[15:48] <solow> omg i love ubuntu!!!! it installed my wireless drivers with fwcutter FOR me i didnt have to do shit this time ;D
[15:48] <Mahmoud> sudo apt-get install themename
[15:49] <wompy_dompy> i had an pop-account and switched over to imap. now i want to "merge" my different folders. the imap inbox should be the "main" local inbox, but i dont know how to solve it
[15:49] <kokozedman> using Twinview in Lucid with drive 195: how can i maximize window properly? right now, it is maximizing and it goes under the panel... i mean, the Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons are hidden under the top panel that contains the Ubuntu menu
[15:50] <solidturtle> hello i would like to know what is the advised indexing tool today?
[15:50] <maco> solow: watch your language please
[15:50] <jon_high9000> is there any way to keep my monitor screen from powering down every few minutes?
[15:51] <An_Ony_Moose> is there a way to bind multiple key combinations to the same action?
[15:51] <maco> jon_high9000: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/turn-off-x-org-power-management-419538/
[15:52] <solow> maco, what?
[15:52] <maco> jon_high9000: though i think that should be force on...
[15:52] <maco> solow: no swearing
[15:52] <solow> I just said shit
[15:52] <wompy_dompy> @jon_high9000 there is a good panel-plug-in for blocking the energy-save-modus
[15:52] <maco> solow: yes, i see you've gone and done it again
[15:53] <solow> maco, yes, I said shit again. what's the big problem. Even kids learn the word nowadays. Relax a bit :)
 thanks. :)
[15:54] <arand> jon_high9000: And it's not simply the screensaver kicking in?
[15:55] <Mrokii> solow:  This is the age of political correctness and hypocrisy, when it comes to "bad" words. *That's* the big problem.
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> kokozedman:  odd. I dont have thazt issue with twinview here. You did use the nvidia settings tool. turn on twinview. saved to the xorg.conf then restarted the X server?
[15:56] <geirha> Mrokii: solow got kicked.
[15:56] <kokozedman> Dr_Willis: i have not yet restarted X... i'm still installing some packages... i guess i'll see afterwards if it is going to be good
[15:56] <solow> Mrokii, Well... I think you're a bit of a hypocrite. Kids out there are using words worse than the one i just used, and you're forcing adults not to use words as sh*t. I think that's the wrong politics.
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> kokozedman:  yep. with twinview. I have to restart X, or else programs can get a little confused if you just enable and 'apply' it
[15:56] <kokozedman> Dr_Willis: do you mind telling me your setup? i tried to put a smaller monitor on the middle, but it doesn't work properly
[15:57] <geirha> Oh, right, I've disabled joins ^^
[15:57] <Mrokii> solow:  I think you talk to the wrong person. I have no problem with so-called "bad words.
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> kibble:  i got 2 widescreen lcd's   or i can use one monuitor + the tv out.
[15:57] <kokozedman> i guess i need to wait for the X restart then ...
[15:58] <An_Ony_Moose> solow, it happens to be a channel rule.
[15:58] <solow> Mrokii, Sorry :p I just get a little bit angry when people get snobby. So I guess I took you for the wrong person. I'm sorry for that.
[15:58] <frederik__> hi there
[15:58] <Mrokii> solow:  I guess I will survive that as well.
[15:58] <maco> solow: obfuscated swearing is still swearing and thus against channel rules. so that little "*" you added? not helping
[15:58] <An_Ony_Moose> I didn't make them either and I don't *really* mind that kind of language either
[15:59] <frederik__> can anybody help me out? I want to join a channel, but its the first time i use IRC
[15:59] <An_Ony_Moose> frederik__, type join
[15:59] <An_Ony_Moose> err
[15:59] <An_Ony_Moose>  /j #channelname
[15:59] <solow> An_Ony_Moose, I think it's a lame rule. I've never seen anyone feel insulted by the word sh*t. sorry.
 no. it has been doing this since i started using ubuntu back in gutsy gibbon.
[15:59] <frederik__> join /#polskie IRCnet
[15:59] <frederik__> hm
[15:59] <An_Ony_Moose> solow, well I have. Whatever.
[15:59] <frederik__> ok
[15:59] <frederik__> got it
[15:59] <solow> An_Ony_Moose, Seriously?
[15:59] <An_Ony_Moose> solow, I rest my case :|
[16:00] <solow> maco, Whatever, I will keep it clean for the babies in here. I don't wish to hurt your feelings.
[16:00] <maco> solow: do you need another removal?
[16:00] <solow> maco, stop threatening me would yah. it's not helping./
[16:00]  * Dr_Willis waits for an actual support related question
[16:00] <solidturtle> I would like to know if it is a good to use tracker for indexation I see it is supported by Canonical
 I am currently using 9.10.
[16:00] <Niek> Hi
[16:01] <nimrod10> can anyone point me to a webpage containing the kickstart package groups ? There's not a lot of info on these :(
[16:01] <maco> jon_high9000: try the applet that someone else suggested. its the inhibitor applet
[16:01] <nsahoo> I can't seem to customize the mouse operations for window resizing. now it's alt+btn2, I want it to be alt+btn3. I installed compizconfig-settings-manager, but, some how it does not store the changes I make to compiz configuration
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> Im still trying to figure out what would cause the whole pc to hang for a few seconds  while playing a video. (but audio continues)  Cant even fullscree/move windows or even select a window.
[16:01] <wessel> I wish to remove serveral options from the spelling check > language dialogue (Firefox)
[16:01] <maco> nimrod10: i think package groups are a yum thing...not an apt thing
[16:01] <wessel> it now has English / United Kingdom, English / United States, English / Canada, English / Etc, Dutch
[16:02] <wessel> I only need US and Dutch
[16:02] <Niek> I have 2 disks in my computer, both 1TB. I haven't formatted them yet, because I want to "join them together", and act like one large disk of 2TB. I know this can be done with LVM, but I couldn't find a clear tutorial. Could someone giveme a link to a nice tutorial I can use to achieve this?:)
[16:02] <nimrod10> maco they are a kickstart thing
[16:02] <wessel> Will these remove if I uninstall some languages on ubuntu?
[16:02] <Mrokii> wessel:  I think firefox has its own settings (in Addons/Languages)
[16:02] <nimrod10> maco,  I was expecting to work on ubuntu since kickstart works on ubuntu :(
[16:02] <maco> nimrod10: then i dunno. ive only ever used kickstart with red hat
 just added it.
[16:03] <nsahoo> any help? how do I customize the mouse keys for initiating windows resizing?
[16:03] <Comprec> hey folks i've got pxe to netboot the alternate 10.04 disk, but I need to install oem which it apparently doesnt have. any ideas?
[16:03] <wessel> Mrokii, there it only says: english-GB
[16:03] <Mrokii> wessel:  Then I don't know. I guess it's set in the Ubuntu-language-setting then
[16:03] <einar> how can I check whether a client has installed all updated packages from repositories defined in sources.list - from the command line? likewise, whether an apt-get update has been run recently?
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> einar:  i noticed if i log into the Console. it actually gives that info as part of the login messaghes.. not sure where that info is comming from
[16:05] <wessel> how do I start the GUI package manager ?
[16:05] <nimrod10> maco, thanks anyway
[16:05] <subone> Can someone recommend an application that allows easy navigation of video media from across the room (with remote) and keeps track of which videos you have watched so you know just what to watch next?
[16:05] <einar> dr_willis: hm, something writes that information to /etc/motd, it seems
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> einar:  yea. I noticed the other day it was wrong. :) but  its still sort of a nice idea
[16:05] <edbian> subone, mythTV
[16:06] <edbian> wessel, gksudo synaptic
[16:06] <Mrokii> wessel:  Administration/Synaptic Package Manager? But if you talk about languages I think "Administration/Language Support" might be the proper place.
[16:06] <einar> I'm trying to meet a "trusted" policy to allow usage of ubuntu PCs in a large enterprise, checking whether an os installation is updated is part of it ;)
[16:06] <subone> edbian, is that all? i dont actually have a "tv" connection
[16:07] <edbian> subone, That's just what it's called.  There are a couple of neat little media center things.  elisa, mythTV  (there is an entire mythBuntu designed for myth TV and ubuntu).  I've never set them up though.  I've just seen demos on the internet (you tube and such)
[16:07] <wessel> everywhere I look, I can only install all english support completely
[16:07] <wessel> I can not remove only english/UK english/Canada etc
[16:08] <RunnerGeek> compiz doesn't seem to have all the animation effects it normally does
[16:08] <RunnerGeek> or rather did in pervious ubuntu version
[16:08] <subone> edbian, ty
[16:08] <RunnerGeek> previous*
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> RunnerGeek:  theres some extra compiz packages in the repos
[16:08] <RunnerGeek> ah
[16:08] <edbian> subone, Good luck!  Have fun :)
[16:08] <unop> einar, apt-show-versions -u  # shows packages that have updates to be installed
[16:09] <AdvoWork> may be a silly question but how do install a font ive just downloaded?
[16:09] <unop> einar, as for when apt was last updated. check the mtime for the *.packages files in /var/lib/apt/lists/ perhaps.
[16:09] <wessel> Mrokii, I went to system > administration > language support
[16:09] <unop> !fonts | AdvoWork
[16:10] <wessel> it told me it was not completely installed, so I installed it
[16:10] <wessel> now I can no longer select a language :-/ for spelling checking
[16:10] <Mrokii> wessel:  Huh, strange. Never heard of that.
[16:10] <eurythmia> I'm trying to use/install vmplayer 3.0.0, but I am having trouble getting vmplayer to run ... it seems to not be finding the modules it needs to load, and when it tries to compile them, it fails trying to stop the vmware "blocking filesystem" service. I have pasted the output and contents of a logfile here "http://www.pastebin.ca/1879792" I am using ubuntu lucid, with kernel 2.6.32-22-generic ... any help would be appreciated.
[16:11] <wessel> oh wait sorry, I'm now in Xchat not in firefox
[16:11] <Mrokii> lol
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  for a single user. i copuy them to my users .fonts dir
[16:11] <Mrokii> hard to mix up, indeed ;-)
[16:11] <AdvoWork> Dr_Willis, wheres that located>?
[16:11] <wessel> :(
[16:11] <einar> unop: great! that should work
[16:11] <wessel> ill try a reboot
[16:12] <wessel> is there some epic keyboard combination to reboot?
[16:12] <MaMoUs> sipior: it did not work
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  .fonts  -> see the . ? it would be in the users home dir.. makd the dir
[16:12] <sipior> MaMoUs: sorry to hear that.
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> wessel:  alt-ctrl-sysreq-k to kill X alt-ctrl-del to reboot. (normally)
[16:12] <MaMoUs> sipior: idk what to do
[16:13] <oerb> hi all
[16:13] <wessel> ah, that works, thanks
[16:13] <AdvoWork> Dr_Willis, so all i do is mkdir .fonts in my home dir, put the .ttf in there and jobs a goodun?
[16:13] <sipior> MaMoUs: keep asking around the channel; that's what it's for.
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  thats teh basics of it
[16:13] <oerb> do someone know capisuite in Ubuntu Server?
[16:13] <MaMoUs> sipior: how should i ask the qustion
[16:14] <zulu> hello, yesterday my ubuntu is frozen and i must make a cold start. now ubuntu not start. its shows grub 5.1 on the top of the screen and the nothing happend. what is the problem?
[16:14] <sipior> MaMoUs: just repeat what you asked before, giving as many details as possible.
[16:14] <MaMoUs> watch it online
[16:15] <MaMoUs> I cant play sound from firefox and other application at the same time
[16:15] <DJ_HaMsTa> yay
[16:16] <connor> Hello everybody I am updating my computer and a window called "debconf" has popped up saying i need to override the local changes to "/etc/pam.d/common-*" do i need to do this?
[16:16] <vagothcpp_> Is it possible to remove a package from aptitude that has a dependency i want to keep?
[16:16] <Guest45231> how to uninstall evolution (the whole package)
[16:17] <oerb> could send fax in capisuite but do not receive
[16:17] <BluesKaj> vagothcpp_, no,but you could try apt , it might leave it behind
[16:17] <vagothcpp_> BluesKaj: What do you mean?
[16:18] <neo_> hey guys
[16:18] <neo_> how to configre usb in 10.4
[16:18] <BluesKaj> aptitude tracks dependencieds better thsn apt does , vagothcpp_
[16:18] <wessel> man, even when I go to addons > languages > English-GB and disable it, it still shows 7 English options in my spelling checker: select language menu   :-/
[16:19] <vagothcpp_> BluesKaj: aptitude != apt? (new to systems that use apt/aptitude)
[16:19] <eurythmia> BlueEagle, that is a false assertion. dpkg tracks dependencies, and it is the backend for both apt and aptitude.
[16:20] <eurythmia> BluesKaj, sorry, that was directed to you.
[16:20] <Mrokii> Guest45231:  You can use the synaptic package manager to remove evolution. Though I can't say if it will remove *all* packages. But if you filter the list using "evolution" you probably should find most files. Just make sure that nothing is removed that you may need.
[16:20] <unop> eurythmia, actually, the dependency resolution engines is different for the different front-ends .. and aptitude does do it differently.
[16:20] <vagothcpp_> BluesKaj: Practically I want to remove the dhcp client on Ubuntu Server because i have absolutly no need for it. none
[16:21] <vagothcpp_> but ubuntu-standard package 'depends' on it *metapackage*
[16:21] <eurythmia> unop, dependency tracking and dependency resolution are two completely different things though :)
[16:22] <Mrokii> Guest45231:  Though I think removing Evolution doesn't remove the Email-files in your home-folder, if you have used Evolution.
[16:22] <vagothcpp_> to answer one of my question, apt != aptitude?
[16:22] <eurythmia> vagothcpp_, that is true ... apt != aptitude
[16:22] <wessel_> is there some ubuntu compatible program to do chess game analysis ?
[16:22] <llutz> vagothcpp_: aptitude is just a  frontend to apt, like apt-get is
[16:22] <eurythmia> vagothcpp_, although, you can safely use them interchangably.
[16:23] <vagothcpp_> ah
[16:23] <Guest45231> Mrokii didn't used evolution yet,
[16:23] <Niek> anyone with a good tutorial for LVM in my question before ?
[16:23] <vagothcpp_> So, how would i go about removing dhcp3, dhcp3-common from my system, since a metapackage depends on it?
[16:24] <eurythmia> vagothcpp_, you can remove them and the metapackage will be removed, but the rest of the packages installed with the metapackage will stay.
[16:24] <rad4Christ> Anyone know how to install nVidia restricted drivers on a server, so thin clients with nvidia card will use them?
[16:24] <trijntje> Hi all, nethogs shows a program with PID 0 making network connections, but ps -ef shows no such program. What could be going on?
[16:24] <vagothcpp_> eurythmia: Ahk, is it okay to do it that way?
[16:25] <eurythmia> vagothcpp_, to completely remove a metapackage, you need to remove all the packages *in* the metapackage, which is a little less trivial than just removing packages :)
[16:25] <Mrokii> Guest45231:  Well, then the Synaptic Package Manager (found in the System/Administration-menu) should do the job.
[16:25] <eurythmia> vagothcpp_, if I had a nickle for every time I'd removed soemthing from ubuntu-desktop and kept a gnome desktop ... ;)
[16:25] <vagothcpp_> So the metapackage is just an 'install-only' feature?
[16:25] <eurythmia> vagothcpp_, yes; I am certain that it is safe.
[16:25] <eurythmia> vagothcpp_, yes.
[16:26] <vagothcpp_> sweet, there are many packages i have absolutly no use for that is installed by default
[16:26] <eurythmia> vagothcpp_, metapackages are just an easy way of installing a bunch of things that fit coherently together (in most cases)
[16:26] <eurythmia> vagothcpp_, which is why I uninstall a lot of them too.
[16:27] <vagothcpp_> dhcp client for a server is pointless to me, all my servers require a static ip, absolutly require, im switching from gentoo as a server to ubuntu
[16:28] <gharz> guys, can ubuntu server run like an "active directory" wherein a user can log in to several ubuntu clients with only 1 username and password?
[16:28] <maco> gharz: i think you need LDAP
[16:28] <Tata-tom> Hey!
[16:28] <gharz> and can an ubuntu client be a member of a domain in an ubuntu server?
[16:29] <maco> gharz: or kerberos...
[16:29] <BluesKaj> vagothcpp_, there is a method to setup static IP with /etc/network/interfaces but it still uses dhclient to connect
[16:30] <maco> gharz: kerberos is what you want. its how Active Directory works
[16:30] <gharz> maco: i'm not sure if i explain well... for example i have 1 ubuntu server... 2 ubuntu desktop clients... can i create a user in ubuntu server and use that same user (username and password) when i log in to either of the 2 ubuntu desktop clients?
[16:30] <vagothcpp_> BluesKaj: And why would i want that?
[16:30] <BluesKaj> vagothcpp_, I just removed network-manager
[16:30] <maco> gharz: if you set things up with kerberos, yes
[16:30] <maco> gharz: active directory, on newer versions of windows, actually *uses* kerberos
[16:30] <BluesKaj> vagothcpp_, static IP ?
[16:30] <vagothcpp_> BluesKaj: uhm?
[16:31] <RyanP> gharz: I can tell you for sure that LDAP does what you want.
[16:31] <vagothcpp_> so your telling me, even though i have a static ip, i need dhclient?
[16:31] <BluesKaj> ok vagothcpp_ nevermind , was merely a suggestion
[16:31] <guntbert> vagothcpp_: did you read the server guide?
[16:31] <vagothcpp_> guntbert: no, link?
[16:32] <guntbert> !serverguide | vagothcpp_
[16:32] <gharz> Ryan and Maco: thanks... i'll check that one out
[16:33] <RyanP> gharz: kerbos probably does it too, but I've never used it
[16:33] <ZenMasta> Anyone know a resolve for when you get Segmentation faulty tree, when using aptitude/apt-get ?
[16:33] <wessel_2> is Ubuntu one bad for my privacy?
[16:34] <guntbert> vagothcpp_: and there is #ubuntu-server too
[16:34] <vagothcpp_> im learning something new every minute =D
[16:34] <gharz> RyanP: have you used LDAP?
[16:35] <sfro> Hi, new guy here...  i've been googling my brains out.  I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop using the cd/dvd drive.  In Ubuntu it does not recognize the cd/dvd drive.  when i put something in, it spins but nothing ever comes up...
[16:35] <bushy> hey
[16:35] <RyanP> gharz: Yes.
[16:35] <pvl1> sfro, go to places, computer. see whats there
[16:35] <sfro> nothing but computer and file systme
[16:35] <bushy> is it possible to install windows after ubuntu and dual boot?
[16:36] <MaMoUs> I have a problem with sound in firefox. It works on sites like youtube  or google video if I launch firefox with no other sound apps open.  However, if I then open amaroK, or another media app, sound will not  function in videos.
[16:36] <bushy> hey
[16:36] <bushy> can someone answer me?
[16:36] <DJones> bushy: It is possible, but not straightforward
[16:37] <llutz> bushy: it is, you'll have to restore grub after installing win
[16:37] <bushy> is there a link someplace?
[16:37] <BluesKaj> !dual boot |bushy
[16:37] <bushy> cool i check it out
[16:37] <Mahmoud> i delete some files and i try to restore it back from the trash
[16:37] <Mahmoud> but the trash is empty
[16:38] <ubuntudrowning> can't get ubuntu to boot with out cd.  dual boot system.
[16:39] <wessel> could someone help me compile the crafty chess engine which can be downloaded here? http://www.craftychess.com/crafty-23.2.zip  its a small file and contains about 60 .c files. When I type gcc ./* I get all kinds of errors :-/
[16:39] <BluesKaj> ubuntudrowning, did you install windows after installing ubuntu?
[16:40] <pvl1> !mount
[16:40] <Riviera> wessel: aptitude install crafty does not suffice? :)
[16:40] <pvl1> !mount | sfro
[16:40] <Amaterasu80> Um ^^ Hi there, I'm reletively new to Ubuntu and i've been trying to get my tablet working with it, now. . .so far I have full tablet support when I remove the "~/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-evdev.conf" file and neither my keyboard nor mouse work. But while it's there my tablet just hangs in the top left corner. . . any ideas? (I already have WizardPen installed)
[16:40] <wessel> Riviera, I do not know.
[16:40] <ubuntudrowning> BluesKaj: installed windows first, then 9. ubuntu, then upgraded to 10.04, then could not boot windows, went to windows terminal boot fix, now cant get to ubuntu
[16:40] <wessel> Will this compile it to make full use of my resources?
[16:41] <Riviera> wessel: for compiling it try "make linux"
[16:41] <wessel> I have 16GB ram, and a i7 quad core.
[16:41] <sfro> ty, i'll have a look
[16:41] <MaMoUs> I have a problem with sound in firefox. It works on sites like youtube  or google video if I launch firefox with no other sound apps open.  However, if I then open amaroK, or another media app, sound will not  function in videos
[16:41] <dasunsrule32> Hi, I am having trouble with likewise-open5 and ubuntu server 10.04, I have installed the latest version from the likewise-open ppa and the default repo version with the same issues. I have problems with dcerpcd, lsassd, lwiod, and lwregd not starting on boot. Also, I have set the default_realm=mydomain.local and it is still requiring that I type domain\user to login via ssh. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you!

[16:42] <Riviera> wessel: so, do you have a crafty executable now?
[16:42] <RyanP> wessel: It's probably better to use the repository. However to compile it, you want "make" try "make linux"
[16:42] <BluesKaj> ubuntudrowning, so you don't have a grub menu ?
[16:42] <wessel> http://paste.ubuntu.com/447260/
[16:42] <wessel> yes, I think it worked :-/
[16:43] <wessel> but arn't all these warnings bad?
[16:43] <bushy> okay so i need to make a partition for windows right/
[16:43] <ubuntudrowning> bluesKaj, no grub menu.  and command line install doesn't change anything
[16:43] <RyanP> wessel: It's ok..
[16:44] <dcamp25_> in 10.04 is there a way to turn off the boot splash so I can see the boot as it happens.  and what log is the boot log in ?
[16:44] <mmarc__> Hi! During upgrade from karmic to lucid I was acked what to do about the grub config. I checked partitions that were used in grub previously, e.g. /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3. Is that correct?
[16:45] <BluesKaj> ubuntudrowning, cli , sudo update-grub
[16:45] <savid> Hi, I'm trying to load module-bluetooth-discover,  but I get the error "Module initalization failed".  Nothing in /var/log/messages.  How can I debug this further?
[16:45] <HyperNewbie> hey, I've been having a problem... I have xp on partition 0 and ubuntu on partition 1, I go gtparted and set partition 1 active (which loads grub), which works all fine
[16:46] <HyperNewbie> except when i choose the "windows xp" option from the grub, then windows xp boots, and next time i restart computer, boot partition is somehow set back to 0
[16:46] <HyperNewbie> which means it boots straight into xp and skips the grub menu
[16:46] <Galerien> Hey guys, I had to update my google chrome like 5 times this week.. is that normal?
[16:46] <HyperNewbie> anyone has any idea?
[16:46] <Maletor> there has got to be a way to make the window resize area bigger. i have to be pixel perfect every time i want to expand the size of a window. what can i do?
[16:47] <ubuntudrowning> BluesKaj: have tried that: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub
[16:47] <ubuntudrowning> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

[16:48] <loopidity> WDmydigitalpass not working on ubuntu :(
[16:48] <loopidity> lsusb gives Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1058:070a Western Digital Technologies, Inc.
[16:49] <loopidity> and a cdrom is loaded
[16:49] <ubuntudrowning> floodbot1:  sorry.  I'm new to this and have no idea what you said means.
[16:49] <loopidity> but not the disk
[16:49] <dcamp25_> loopidity, I am pretty sure it is a bug with WD
[16:49] <sfro> okay i read up on "mount", in my /dev there is nothing i see that can be the cd/dvd drive to mount.  there is no hdc or anything with cd or dvd in it.
[16:49] <dr3mro> hi there I am using the Ubuntu 10.04 and it has some bugs but most are solved via updates ???? I have a Question about ubuntu 10.10 will it be as stable as ubuntu 10.04 after 6 months of its release as feb 2011 or it will be less stable ???? and if I need to get the latest version of gnome in ubuntu 10.04 what i will need to so ????
[16:49] <loopidity> could be, but could be that it needs a little tweaking to work with ubutnu
[16:49] <bin1010> any good automatic build, scheduled builds with dashboard available?
[16:49] <Galerien> ubuntudrowning: you are talking to a bot, a software... to something ;) don't expect it to answer ^^
[16:50] <BluesKaj> HyperNewbie, open /etc/default/grub/ in the run command (alt+f2) , put a # in front of the line, GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[16:50] <Pyrokinetics> Galerien, its better that he talks with a bot than to himself ^^
[16:51] <paraintj> hey friends can someone please point me to the documentation for configuring ubuntu's default firewall application?
[16:51] <BluesKaj> HyperNewbie, gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub/

[16:51] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj>: on it, trying, thank you
[16:53] <Galerien> Hey guys, I had to update my google chrome like 5 times this week.. is that normal?
[16:53] <BluesKaj> !firewall | paraintj
[16:53] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj>: I don't think it is the timeout
[16:53] <paraintj> BluesKaj: thanks man
[16:53] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj>: because when i re-boot into a live cd and use gtparted, I can see that the boot partition has been changed to partition 0
[16:53] <BluesKaj> HyperNewbie, the hidden timeout
[16:54] <lelamal> hi, why can't I find Skype from Maverick repositories? after upgrading, I needed to reinstall it

[16:55] <MPX> Hello! I have a HDD mounted as /home/ that is failing. I have another HDD (same size) that I would like to use as home instead. Problem is, the HDD already contain files on it (although the partition is EXT4). My question is, how can I transition my home folder on my one hdd to the other without losing any files?
[16:55] <Keell> Hello, my monitor is 'unknown' and i only can put 800x600. How can i fix it? My driver is SiS671.
[16:55] <lelamal> Galerien: you mean it's not among the partners anymore?
[16:56] <BluesKaj> HyperNewbie, did you use the partition editor to assign / to your ubuntu install
[16:56] <ldlework> Is there a way to install system packages to custom locations? IE I install weechat after compiling to /usr/local and Ubuntu wants to install the plugins into /usr
[16:56] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj> Yes, of course
[16:56] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj> Ubuntu install works absolutely fine
[16:57] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj> Just as soon as i hit the "windows" option in grub, the boot partition flag gets set to partition 0, instead of partition 1
[16:59] <llutz> HyperNewbie: remove "makeactive" if you don't want that
[16:59] <ldlework> Does anyone know?
[16:59] <lostintime> Hi, is it possible to colorize apt-get or aptitude output?

[17:00] <ldlework> Lol, my question is just skipped over =(

[17:01] <lostintime> Hi, does anyone know of a general tool that can be piped to and rules can be defined for to color input?  I see packages like colordiff, colorgcc, colormake, and colortail in the repositories.  I will peruse their source shortly
[17:02] <trism> lostintime: highlight works pretty well, you'd probably have to write your own syntax file for apt though
[17:02] <mariya> gconf-editor tells me for the keys /desktop/gnome/background "This key has no scheme" what is going on?
[17:02] <lostintime> trism: cool, thank you

[17:05] <elvira> video call
[17:05] <Damascene> edbian, gufw
[17:05] <edbian> Damascene, sudo killall gufw
[17:05] <mattwynne> I have a problem with "cannot resolve hostname"
[17:05] <MPX> Hello! ubutom_ would I need to edit the fstab even if I just replace the HDD?
[17:05] <edbian> Damascene, Or you can look up it's processes number using ps -e
[17:06] <edbian> mattwynne, What DNS are you using?
[17:06] <Damascene> edbian, gufw: no process found
[17:06] <ubutom_> MPX, yeah, think so, because of that IDs in fstab
[17:06] <mattwynne> edbian: DNS from my router's config
[17:06] <Damascene> it's running in front of me
[17:06] <mattwynne> edbian: this is the hostname of localhost
[17:06] <edbian> Damascene, Then it isn't running or it has a different name.
[17:06] <edbian> Damascene, Look up the PID using ps -e  (and the name)
[17:06] <MPX> How do I figure out the id of the new disk ubutom_
[17:06] <cjmaynar> hello...i've got ubuntu 10.4 running on my laptop with auto login enabled, but am still getting that prompt that the keyring was not unlocked on login so it can't access the wireless password. i've found some ways around that, but they're all for older versions - is there a solution for 10 yet?
[17:06] <mattwynne> the error only appears when I do sudo commands
[17:06] <ubutom_> MPX, but shouldn't be much work
[17:07] <ubutom_> !UUID
[17:07] <mattwynne> the name of the machine *is* in /etc/hosts already
[17:07] <techass> Hello
[17:07] <ubutom_> there you go :)
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> cjmaynar:  you can just set a empty password for the keyring
[17:07] <edbian> mattwynne, Is the file world read-able?  Just a guess
[17:07] <techass> I have some questions regarding Ubuntu 10.4 Networkmanager
[17:07] <MPX> ubutom_, thanks! And where is fstab located? /etc=
[17:07] <MPX> ?
[17:07] <ubutom_> MPX, yeah, /etc/fstab
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> !fstab | MPX

[17:08] <MPX> awesome...Okay thanks! Time to boot into the live cd
[17:08] <cjmaynar> Dr_Willis: where do i go about that? i'm looking ath the Passwords and Encryption Keys window right now, thres no keyring password there, just the login...i guess set that as empty?
[17:08] <edbian> mattwynne, Mmm, mine is the same.
[17:08] <mattwynne> edbian: I recently upgraded from 9.x to 10.x if that's anything to do with it
[17:08] <edbian> mattwynne, What if you sudo hostname <yourHostNameHere>
[17:08] <mattwynne> also sudo cat /etc/hosts works
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> cjmaynar:  check the right mouse menus over one of the items in the  'list' theres a change password menu item. its sort of hidden
[17:08] <mariya> gconf-editor tells me for the keys /desktop/gnome/background "This key has no scheme" what is going on?
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> cjmaynar:  rclick on login, change password
[17:08] <mattwynne> edbian: same error
[17:09] <elvira> solved
[17:09] <edbian> mattwynne, What about /etc/hostname?
[17:09] <cjmaynar> Dr_Willis: gotcha.
[17:09] <edbian> mattwynne, What's the error?
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> cjmaynar:  just hit enter for the password.  it will then ask if you want to use Unsafe assword
[17:09] <edbian> mattwynne, Is that correct?  (I have the same permissions as you do on /etc/hosts on /etc/hostname)

[17:11] <techass> Hello
[17:11] <duongthaiha> hi
[17:11] <edbian> mattwynne, Oh, well there's your problem! :)  127.0.0.1 localhost  is correct.  The next line should be 127.0.1.1 Hubba
[17:11] <edbian> mattwynne, Make sense?
[17:11] <techass> hi duong
[17:12] <mattwynne> edbian: actually, no. and I thought this had been working for some time.
[17:12] <duongthaiha> Hi I currently having python 2.6 and 3.1 the default one is 2.6 which is the best way to change the default to 3.1 plz. Thanks a lot
[17:12] <mattwynne> edbian: can you explain why the named line should be 127.0.*1*.1?
[17:12] <edbian> mattwynne, I have no idea!  ha ah. That's how mine is along with every linux machine I've ever used.
[17:13] <edbian> mattwynne, so... "It just is"
[17:13] <mattwynne> ok
[17:13] <mattwynne> edbian: how do I pick up the changes?
[17:13] <mattwynne> anything less violent I can do than reboot?
[17:13] <padfoot_> #blankon
[17:14] <edbian> mattwynne, It should happen immediately.
[17:14] <edbian> mattwynne, you might try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[17:14] <mattwynne> edbian: hmm. it didn't
[17:14] <mattwynne> edbian: I have a feeling that wasn't the problem
[17:14] <edbian> mattwynne, Or maybe in the new ubuntu it's service networking restart
[17:14] <duongthaiha> Hi I currently having python 2.6 and 3.1 the default one is 2.6 which is the best way to change the default to 3.1 plz? Any one plz help.
[17:14] <techass> Hello i have question to ubuntu gururs
[17:15] <mattwynne> I have another clue. You know in the Remote Desktop preference panel is says "to connect to this computer, use the address Hubba.local or 192.168.1.100"
[17:15] <edbian> mattwynne, sure...
[17:15] <mattwynne> edbian: well it doesn't mention the named address anymore, only the IP
[17:15] <edbian> mattwynne, Odd...
[17:15] <mattwynne> so it's like it can't read it's hostname somehow
[17:15] <mattwynne> from some places
[17:15] <edbian> mattwynne, Explain to me your problem from the start again.
[17:15] <mariya> gconf-editor tells me for the keys /desktop/gnome/background "This key has no scheme" what is going on?
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> mattwynne:  unless you do some other work other machines on the lan wont know each other by 'hostname'
[17:16] <Keell> My monitor is 'unkown', how can i fix it? here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/N5SBVejY
[17:16] <mattwynne> there are various things not working, and in /var/log/syslog I can see entries about "unable to resolve host Hubba"
[17:16] <mattwynne> also I see the same message when I run sudo commands
[17:16] <edbian> mattwynne, What's in /etc/hostname  ?
[17:16] <mattwynne> I'm actually trying to set up avahi daemon so that our OS X laptops will play nice with it
[17:17] <MaMoUs> no sound control in ubuntu 10.04
[17:17] <edbian> mattwynne, I had the same problem once and I fixed it.  Now I just have to remember exactly what I did.
[17:17] <mattwynne> edbian: Hubba
[17:17] <ubutom_> !ask > techass
[17:18] <edbian> mattwynne, what happens if you run the command "hostname"
[17:18] <dasunsrule32> Hi, I am having trouble with likewise-open5 and ubuntu server 10.04, I have installed the latest version from the likewise-open ppa and the default repo version with the same issues. I have problems with dcerpcd, lsassd, lwiod, and lwregd not starting on boot. Also, I have set the default_realm=mydomain.local and it is still requiring that I type domain\user to login via ssh. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you!
[17:18] <mattwynne> edbian: it feels like sudo isn't readying /etc/hosts
[17:18] <edbian> mattwynne, I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname or both...
[17:19] <edbian> mattwynne, Is rebooting out of the question?
[17:19] <edbian> mattwynne, did you sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ??
[17:19] <oerb> MaMoUs test gnome alsa-mixer
[17:19] <mattwynne> rebooting is fine, I've done it about fifteen times already this afternoon :)
[17:19] <edbian> mattwynne, Ok
[17:19] <mattwynne> edbian: actually I hadn't restarted networking d. doing that now.
[17:20] <edbian> mattwynne, and What does the command "hostname" return?
[17:20] <MaMoUs> oerb: i install it but how to run it or from where ?
[17:20] <mattwynne> edbian: hostname also returns "Hubba"
[17:20] <edbian> mattwynne, It's all correct, no typos or spaces or silly things like that?
[17:20] <mattwynne> also sudo hostname does the same (though ironically it prints that error first)
[17:20] <edbian> mattwynne, ha ha
[17:20] <shazzr> I succesfully connected my Ubuntu-machine at work to my employers Novell-shared disk. Pretty happy!

[17:26] <mattwynne> edbian: the thing about that forum post is, it's saying to update your hosts file, but as far as I can see mine is correct
[17:26] <edbian> mattwynne, Well I think what it's saying is unable to resolve "on the network" hostname bla
[17:27] <edbian> mattwynne, I know, odd.  Can I see it again?  With the change we did?  Also I'm assuming you rebooted and it didn't help.
[17:27] <mattwynne> edbian: aha. So this has stopped working because avahi is broken, perhaps?
[17:27] <edbian> mattwynne, Possible?  What makes you say that?  Is avahi broken?  In what way?
[17:28] <mattwynne> edbian: don't know yet

[17:28] <mattwynne> edbian: I still don't understand why it isn't looking in the hosts file
[17:28] <edbian> mattwynne, I'm surprised the update manager didn't do that for you.  What was left over?
[17:28] <Scunizi> mattwynne: I just jumped in here so I"ve missed some.  does your host file have a line that says "<IP Address> Hubba" ?
[17:28] <edbian> mattwynne, Can I see your /etc/hosts again?
[17:29] <llutz> mattwynne: change the 2nd line of your /etc/hosts to "127.0.1.1 Hubba"
[17:29] <techass> just click wifi connector and there u go online with evdo
[17:29] <mattwynne> Scunizi: edbian: my hosts file: http://gist.github.com/431713
[17:29] <mattwynne> llutz: see http://gist.github.com/431713
[17:29] <edbian> Scunizi, He's got 127.0.1.1 Hubba   and 127.0.0.1 localhost What else does he need?  All I can think of is typos
[17:29] <techass> i mean mobile broadband connector
[17:29] <llutz> mattwynne: change the 2nd line of your /etc/hosts to "127.0.1.1 Hubba"
[17:29] <edbian> mattwynne, It changed again.
[17:29] <edbian> mattwynne, Isn't that strange?
[17:29] <mattwynne> sorry guys, that's old
[17:29] <theadmin> Hm. If someone connects to my computer remotely, can he/she use the magic sysrq key?
[17:30] <mattwynne> I'm a dickhead
[17:30] <edbian> mattwynne, ha ha
[17:30] <edbian> mattwynne, No worries.
[17:30] <chavez> Hi all, hopefully someone may hint me how to fix this - iwconfig or ifconfig gives the following: "Command 'iwconfig' is available in '/sbin/iwconfig' The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable. This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative priviledges associated with your user account.", with sudo all goes ok
[17:30] <mattwynne> http://gist.github.com/431713
[17:30] <Scunizi> mattwynne: edbian is Hubba an Apache server?
[17:30] <mattwynne> Scunizi: yeah apache2 is running on there, or supposed to be
[17:30] <ubutom_> techass, specify your question. so you have it working, but want to connect to it through wifi?
[17:31] <mattwynne> Scunizi: haven't checked if it's working since I upgraded
[17:31] <Scunizi> mattwynne: edbian and typing "localhost" get's you to Apache?
[17:31] <edbian> mattwynne, localhost in a browser
[17:31] <Scunizi> k
[17:31] <edbian> Scunizi, clever :)
[17:31] <techass> ok my question is how to make it work under network manager as mobile broadband
[17:31] <mattwynne> yep, I can see apache
[17:32] <mattwynne> Scunizi: why do you ask?
[17:32] <theadmin> chavez: add /sbin to your PATH, but basically you need root priveleges (sudo) for them to work anyway
[17:32] <Scunizi> mattwynne: edbian do you have another machine in the house you can list Hubba in and test? using the internal IP address of the Apache server?
[17:32] <mattwynne> Scunizi: edbian: curl localhost shows the apache root page
[17:32] <anna-karin> How do I change the close/minimize/maximize buttons back to the right side?
[17:32] <mattwynne> Scunizi: I can hit it fine from my laptop on the IP address
[17:32] <Scunizi> mattwynne: if localhost works and Hubba doesn't then perhaps networking needs to be restarted to "catch" the file change
[17:32] <mattwynne> Scunizi: I'm using ssh into it now
[17:32] <techass> network manager can see it but when try to connect icon animation started ut after few sec  notification appeared saying
[17:33] <acu> I want to run two usb webcam at the same time - I can make each work fine - but only as one by one - can anyone help hint to something

[17:33] <techass> disconnected offline
[17:33] <edbian> Scunizi, I'm not there
[17:33] <padfoot_> acu : install v4l
[17:33] <Scunizi> mattwynne: if you're on a remote machine trying to access Hubba and the host file in Hubba has been modified as you say then the remote machine won't know unless you change the host file in the remote machine too.
[17:34] <techass> it only works in 9.10 ubuntu live cd
[17:34] <techass> like this
[17:34] <acu> I have v4l2 padfoot - you think that v4l (older version is better) ?
[17:34] <mattwynne> Scunizi: sure. I'm doing all these checks from hubba, but I'm ssh'd into it
[17:34] <chavez> ok, theadmin, how to "add /sbin to path exactly"? i think it happened also for other commands, not only these, just i was reluctant to do anything before it got too annoying
[17:34] <mattwynne> Scunizi: the key problem on hubba is this: http://gist.github.com/431710
[17:35] <theadmin> chavez: Temporary: "export PATH=$PATH:/sbin", for it to be permanent add it to ~/.bashrc
[17:35] <Scunizi> mattwynne: of course there's a difference between Hubba and hubba ..

[17:35] <theadmin> boing: Run "killall firefox"
[17:35] <mattwynne> Scunizi: yes, I'm pretty sure I'm using the capital letter everywhere
[17:35] <k-rad> and a decent screen size, for those tiny things
[17:36] <MikeChelen> is there any way to shut down ubuntu one besides killing the process?
[17:36] <kbrosnan> boing: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
[17:36] <Scunizi> mattwynne: try replacing the 127.xxx.xxx.xxx with the actual IP of the machine and see what happens.
[17:36] <mattwynne> Scunizi: you would expect I can do (from hubba) "ping Hubba" and see it trying to ping 127.0.1.1, right?
[17:37] <Scunizi> mattwynne: you'd think
[17:37] <anna-karin> Nvm found it
[17:37] <mattwynne> so my conclusion is that something is stopping the machine from reading the hosts file
[17:37] <boing> theadmin, tried no luck but i read on to the link kbrosnan gave me
[17:37] <Guest45231> like to install those little thing for monetering temp, volumes and so on, only i forgot the name of it, anyone can help
[17:37] <mattwynne> Scunizi: it does understand how to resolve localhost though
[17:37] <boing> lol cannot open link i guess i have to reboot
[17:37] <theadmin> boing: try "killall firefox-bin" as well
[17:38] <boing> theadmin, great work
[17:38] <Scunizi> mattgyver: I'm thinking that maybe it can't resolve two different names to the same IP address.. or perhaps it needs to read on one line like .. 127.0.0.1 localhost Hubba .. or 127.0.0.1 localhost, Hubba ..
[17:39] <siddhion> hello : )

[17:39] <Andrew129> to*
[17:40] <chadi> Andrew129++
[17:40] <Scunizi> mattgyver: another idea.. Isn't localhost hard coded to port 80 unless you add a different port to the end of the IP address?  so the system doesn't know where to send Hubba because there's no port reference.. perhaps 127.0.0.1:80 Hubba
[17:40] <siddhion> I was wondering if some one could help me trouble shoot my super slow browsing issue in Firefox and Chrome using Xubuntu 10.04. I have detailed my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1505056
[17:40] <mattwynne> Scunizi: here's another oddity: If I put a line like "127.0.0.1 www.google.com" in the hosts file, and ping that name, it's still hitting the real IP rather than 127.
[17:40] <mattwynne> I'm convinced the machine is not reading the hosts file, but why not?
[17:40] <Guest45231> like to install those little thing for monetering temp, volumes and so on, only i forgot the name of it, anyone can help
[17:41] <Scunizi> mattgyver: reverse them.. www.google.com 127.0.0.1
[17:41] <G_A_C> I'm having a little trouble with smartmontools; I have some USB Seagate drives which used to work with smartctl using "-d sat,12" however now they keep saying that SMART is disabled.
[17:41] <G_A_C> even when I do "-s on" they show SMART Enabled followed immediately by SMART Disables on a new line
[17:42] <mattwynne> Scunizi: same deal. Also I'm pretty sure you're meant to put them in <IP> <name> in the hosts file, no?
[17:42] <chavez> siddhion, have you tried disabling ip6?
[17:42] <mattwynne> Scunizi: I'm tempted to chmod 777 /etc/hosts to see what happens
[17:42] <Pici> mattwynne: Yes, you're correct.

[17:43] <Pici> Scunizi: You're not replying to the right person, and the syntax is <ip> <hostname(s)>
[17:43] <mattwynne> edbian: it's not reading my hosts file
[17:43] <theadmin> Andrew129: Happens... Not in Linux :D But maybe in Ubuntu, that is, for Fedora everything goes smooth
[17:43] <edbian> siddhion, no worries
[17:44] <siddhion> chavez: yes i did that whole tutorial.
[17:44] <Scunizi> Pici: ah.. thanks for pointing that out.. about the nick.. as for the syntax I wasn't sure if it would work or not.. now I know :)
[17:44] <Andrew129> theadmin: i heard that not only ubuntu suffers from it
[17:44] <siddhion> edbian: cool
[17:44] <Scunizi> mattwynne: sorry I've been answering to the wrong nick.. glad you caught most of that.
[17:45] <rad4Christ> Hey guys, I am running an LTSP5 test server, and Firefox/flash is running locally, however, the Firefox window itself looks horrible, like a Windows95 interface. The theme doesn't seem to be applied. any ideas?
[17:45] <edbian> mattwynne, Can you ping anything?
[17:45] <Dr_Willis> Hibernate/suspend can depend on so many things..  its amazing it works  at all :)
[17:45] <mattwynne> Scunizi: np
[17:45] <mattwynne> edbian: ping localhost works
[17:45] <mattwynne> ping www.google.com works
[17:45] <edbian> mattwynne, add a line like "127.4.4.4. fake"  to /etc/hosts
[17:46] <edbian> mattwynne, Then try and "ping fake
[17:46] <mattwynne> edbian: and interstingly, if I put an entry into hosts mapping www.google.com to somewhere else, it continues to ping the right IP
[17:46] <mattwynne> edbian: will do
[17:46] <edbian> mattwynne, Or did you already do that.  Just to make sure it looks at the file
[17:46] <edbian> mattwynne, It might have cached www.google.com
[17:47] <siddhion> I have a great wired connection on with all other software.  It is just Chrome and Firefox that are moving super slow.
[17:47] <Scunizi> mattwynne: I'm not sure if the capital letter in Hubba would cause an issue or not.. I know when creating a user the login name *can't* begin with a capital
[17:47] <samijam> if i go to System-Administration-Users and Groups and then click on Advanced Settings it's not doing anything. Shouldn't it prompt me for a password and allow me to make changes?
[17:47] <mattwynne> Scunizi: this has been working for weeks now
[17:47] <siddhion> edbian: by the way I decided to install Xubuntu 10.04 over Windows XP.
[17:47] <edbian> mattwynne, Try that.  I've never had a hostname with a capital in it before so IDK
[17:47] <mattwynne> Scunizi: only broke when I upgrade 9.x -> 10.x
[17:47] <edbian> siddhion, Excellent!  Linux > Win XP
[17:48] <Scunizi> mattwynne: ah ok.. figures.. I had some breakage on upgrade too.  Does the server have the desktop installed as well or is it cli only?
[17:48] <tflgen2> thumbs up to all who worked on 10.04 :) huge diff from it and 6.10 :P
[17:48] <siddhion> edbian: i think so except for the fact that Chrome and Firefox are slow to the point of being unusable
[17:48] <mattwynne> Scunizi: desktop is installed but it's basically a headless box
[17:49] <mattwynne> I can cram a monitor / keyboard into the cupboard when I need to fix something
[17:49] <siddhion> edbian: i am one of the unfortunate few that got screwed with this issue.
[17:49] <edbian> siddhion, That is so odd.  There isn't a proxy or anything right?
[17:49] <Scunizi> mattwynne: when the desktop is installed is network manager also installed? and if so is it still active?
[17:49] <benkevan> my latest screenshot http://www.picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_Adapt.1276102265.png
[17:49] <siddhion> edbian: not sure what you mean  by proxy? like are Firefox and Chrom running through a proxy?
[17:49] <bakingsoda> If you think ubuntu sucks than give me a HELL YEAH!
[17:49] <bakingsoda> HELL YEAH
[17:49] <FloodBot1> bakingsoda: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:50] <edbian> siddhion, Yeah.
[17:50] <Pici> bakingsoda: This is a support channel, not somewhere to complain about Ubuntu.
[17:50] <edbian> mattwynne, Did you add a fake entry to /etc/hosts?
[17:50] <siddhion> edbian: i have no idea. how would i find out if they were?
[17:50] <mattwynne> edbian: just finished trying that (I was trying chmod 777) "unknown host fake"
[17:50] <edbian> siddhion, system -> preferences -> network proxy
[17:51] <Scunizi> mattwynne: I'm now thinking that NM got installed with the desktop.. I hate NM.. it tends to takeover even if you hand set the interfaces and resolv.conf files.
[17:51] <edbian> mattwynne, So it def is not reading the file
[17:51] <siddhion> edbian: ok i will see in a moment. restarting
[17:51] <edbian> mattwynne, Can You pastebin the updated one ok?
[17:51] <edbian> siddhion, k
[17:51] <Scunizi> Pici: when "Desktop" is installed on a server install does it pull in Network-manager?
[17:52] <Guest60858> hi
[17:52] <Pici> Scunizi: yes, its part of the ubuntu-desktop task
[17:52] <samijam> anybody have an idea why I can't enter the advanced settings for users and groups?
[17:52] <CaptainTrek> !hi | Guest60858
[17:52] <Guest60858> RealPlayer
[17:52] <Scunizi> Pici: and also pulls in the desktop kernel?
[17:52] <Guest60858> pleeez
[17:52] <mattwynne> edbian: yes, one sec
[17:53] <ubutom_> wow
[17:53] <mattwynne> Scunizi: what are you suggesting I do about NM?
[17:53] <CaptainTrek> Guest60858:  what exactly do you need?
[17:53] <ubutom_> Guest60858, try sentences ;)
[17:53] <Guest60858> :(
[17:53] <CaptainTrek> ubutom_ lol
[17:54] <mattwynne> edbian: http://gist.github.com/431790
[17:54] <Pici> Scunizi: er, yes, but I'm not sure if it sets that as the default.
[17:54] <casa> hi i can't read 2 sd what's going on'can i fix them? they're damaged
[17:54] <boing> what is the command for cleaning the metadata
[17:54] <Scunizi> mattwynne: I just confirmed with Pici that when you install ubuntu-desktop on a server install it pulls in Network-manager.. and most probably the desktop kernel.. check to see if NM is installed if so uninstall and hand set /etc/network/interfaces & /etc/resolv.conf
[17:54] <MaMoUs> installing pulse audio miss my sound
[17:54] <Pici> Scunizi: It shouldn't affect how /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname behaves.
[17:55] <casa> pici what can i do to fix an sd card
[17:55] <vishaltelangre> MaMoUs, apt-get install pulseaudio
[17:55] <Pici> casa: I don't know.
[17:55] <MaMoUs> vishaltelangre: when i did that every thing is missd up now
[17:55] <edbian> mattwynne, That's the entire file?
[17:56] <UbLost> Anyone know how to recover a dual boot Ubuntu that has lost its Grub?
[17:56] <Scunizi> Pici: but it does effect interfaces.. just thinking that there's some other magic that NM is doing with hosts etc.
[17:56] <mattwynne> edbian: yeah for the time being
[17:57] <vishaltelangre> MaMoUs, why not you back up your packages regularly so as when you messed up w/ such a situations you can restore them back?
[17:57] <mattwynne> edbian: ping fake doesn't even work. WTF?
[17:57] <edbian> mattwynne, yeah, that's odd...
[17:57] <spezticle> what is the purpose of this /etc/network/interfaces file entry: up route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 216.10.119.225 eth1
[17:57] <Scunizi> spezticle: you got vmware or vbox installed?
[17:58] <Pici> mattwynne: That hosts file is very weird looking.  This is mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/447294/
[17:58] <Pici> mattwynne: Where nullcortex is my hostname and nullcortex.com is my domain name.
[17:58] <mattwynne> Pici: I know, I've moved my real one out of the way for a minute
[17:58] <spezticle> Scunizi: no, i'm reading a page teaching about network configuration.
[17:58] <samijam> I can't edit Users and Groups. When I click on Advanced Settings nothing happens
[17:58] <Pici> mattwynne: Okay
[17:58] <mattwynne> Pici: I'm just trying to test whether the machine is readying the file
[17:59] <mattwynne> Pici: and it doesn't seem to be
[17:59] <Scunizi> mattwynne: AH.. look at Pici 's file.. see he has 127.0.0.1 localhost nullcortex on one line
[17:59] <mattwynne> Scunizi: that's just another way of saying the same thing
[17:59] <mattwynne> I'm convinced this is a permissions issue
[17:59] <edbian> mattwynne, Scunizi I think mattwynne Is right.  The file isn't even being looked up.  hence 127.4.4.4. fake didn't even work.
[18:00] <edbian> mattwynne, What are the permissions on the file?
[18:00] <mattwynne> here's another clue: when I reboot, and I open Remote Desktop, I get a prompt asking me for the keyring password
[18:00] <mattwynne> every time
[18:00] <mattwynne> it didn't do that before the dist-upgrade
[18:01] <Scunizi> mattwynne: edbian shouldn't the permissions be 644?  mine appears to be
[18:01] <siddhion> edbian: hey i do not have "preferences" as an option under system.
[18:01] <edbian> siddhion, KDE ?
[18:01] <edbian> Scunizi, That's what mine is too
[18:01] <mattwynne> edbian: I have tried it with 777 just for fun, doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference
[18:01] <[Lloyd]> Hello - I'm not sure if I'm in the right room. I'm looking for advice on which GMail thing to install? I used the Ubuntu SOftware Centre but it doesn't seem to show reviews or popularity?
[18:01] <edbian> mattwynne, odd
[18:01] <siddhion> im in Xubuntu 10.04 Xfce
[18:02] <siddhion> edbian: Xfce
[18:02] <mariya> I can not select a background image, instead of it, a solid color appears
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> [Lloyd]:  gmail thing to do what?  I use the gmail-notifier applet just to show that i have mail
[18:03] <acerimmer> [Lloyd]: do you mean setting up gmail with evolution?
[18:03] <[Lloyd]> Dr_Willis: That sounds like what I'm after. Is it an official Google one?
[18:03] <[Lloyd]> acerimmer: ah no but thank you
[18:03] <T3CHKOMMIE> help, i tried installing apache, did a sudo taskel and installed LAMP, lost my desktop. cant seem to get it back does anyone know how to recover this without doing a clean install?
[18:03] <abstrakt> anyone know offhand a good ExpressCard wireless card that works "otb" with Ubuntu and doesn't need restricted drivers? preferably one i can purchase at best buy?
[18:04] <bbq^> !ssh
[18:05] <paraintj> hey ubuntu friends, is there a way to configure ubuntu to automatically update like a auto yum update?
[18:05] <edbian> siddhion, Who cares.  I'd rather you checked firefox's edit -> preferences -> advanced  -> Network -> Settings (button)
[18:05] <T3CHKOMMIE> can anyone hep me recover my desktop?
[18:06] <siddhion> edbian: ok
[18:06] <paraintj> Nevermind I googled and found it in the update manager I was just using the wrong key words.
[18:07] <edbian> mattwynne, What does /etc/host.conf  look like?
[18:07] <siddhion> edbian: i click Settings and I see Connection Settings pop up. The radial button is set to "Use System Proxy Settings"
[18:07] <edbian> siddhion, Turn that off.  Use no proxy
[18:07] <jcrigby> anyone here know why my left mouse button stops working in lucid?  Seems like focus is stuck in one window.  Scroll wheel still works but left button does not.  I can ctrl-alt-F1 out to a vt and mouse works fine there.  This is on a dell laptop.
[18:07] <edbian> siddhion, I think we might have just fixed it.
[18:07] <mattwynne> edbian: order hosts,bind
[18:08] <edbian> mattwynne, also, what about /etc/nsswitch.conf
[18:08] <edbian> mattwynne, that one looks fine.
[18:08] <mattwynne> edbian: aha. No such file or directory
[18:08] <mattwynne> what's nsswitch.conf?
[18:08] <mattwynne> where can I find a default?
[18:08] <edbian> mattwynne, /etc/nsswitch.conf
[18:08] <Scunizi> mattwynne: my host.conf file also has "multi on" on the second line
[18:08] <edbian> no typos
[18:09] <edbian> mattwynne, That is huge if it is missing.  You like, NEED that :)
[18:09] <mattwynne> edbian: no typos the file is gone
[18:09] <mattwynne> edbian: care to show me yours?
[18:09] <siddhion> edbian: the problem still persists. remember that I am having this same problem with Chrome :(
[18:09] <edbian> http://pastebin.com/46nKCntT
[18:09] <edbian> it's short
[18:10] <edbian> now I'm on debian lenny but I'm pretty sure the file will be identical
[18:10] <edbian> siddhion, Odd.
[18:10] <siddhion> edbian: i can not even load Engadget or Twitter or Ubuntu Forums
[18:10] <edbian> siddhion, I honestly don't know
[18:10] <siddhion> edbian: ok
[18:10] <bastidrazor>  mattwynne http://pastebin.com/04QY7vTd    this is from a ubuntu machien
[18:11] <Scunizi> mattwynne: and mine on a 10.04 box http://pastebin.com/mn1E861N
[18:12] <Scunizi> They look the same to me
[18:12] <snaxsy> anyone know a good channel for shell scripting?
[18:12] <mattwynne> thanks guys
[18:12] <mattwynne> OK were reading the hosts file! double-yay!
[18:12] <Scunizi> mattwynne: what did you change?
[18:13] <mattwynne> it's like a normal computer again
[18:13] <mattwynne> Scunizi: I created the /etc/nsswitch.conf file which had mysteriously disappeared
[18:13] <slyrus_> are the update-manager packages broken in maverick or am I doing something wrong?
[18:13] <mariya> after I log in into gnome my touch pad mouse stops working, any idea?
[18:13] <edbian> mattwynne, ha ha ha?  It disappeared?
[18:13] <mattwynne> edbian: yay totally working
[18:13] <Scunizi> mattwynne: I never would have thought of that.. didn't even know nsswitch.conf existed until edbian mentioned it..
[18:14] <mattwynne> thanks peeps
[18:14] <Scunizi> rock on
[18:14] <edbian> mattwynne, Fixed it then!  Awesome! :)
[18:14] <edbian> mattwynne, Glad I could help!
[18:14] <papertigers> anyone using mdadm here?
[18:14] <oerb> yes
[18:14] <ThisOtherGuy> hi all - can anyone help me reinstall my nvidia drivers? I completely hosed my system
[18:14] <Scunizi> mattwynne: installing pastebinit on the server will make pasting via cli much easier if you've never used it before
[18:14] <papertigers> oerb: is there a way to force a restripe
[18:15] <papertigers> i worry about the write hole
[18:15] <siddhion> edbian: are browsers treated differently than other Internet dependent programs?
[18:15] <edbian> siddhion, Shouldn't be.  Except they are one of the only things that run on port 80.  Check this out https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/417757
[18:16] <siddhion> edbian: ok i think that is the main issue then, something with port 80
[18:16] <vishaltelangre> !pastebinit
[18:16] <edbian> siddhion, Maybe.
[18:17] <oerb> papertiger mdadm --assemble /dev/mdX /dev/sdaX /dev/sdbX --force
[18:17] <Serraphyn> Anyone here know if they too Screem out of repo?
[18:17] <Serraphyn> er took even
[18:17] <papertigers> oerb: how does that work
[18:18] <slimjimflim> hi, anybody know where vlc saves snapshots in lucid?
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> slimjimflim:  its setable in the preferances. I beluive its .config/vlc or .vlc/
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> slimjimflim:  or some other .DIR/vlc
[18:20] <oerb> papertigers reasambles two media of 3 media after a contorler brake in a Raid 5
[18:20] <iksik> hello
[18:20] <iksik> ;]
[18:20] <slimjimflim> Dr_Willis: k thanks
[18:20] <iksik> anyone is playing in CounterStrike 1.6 over wine under ubuntu?
[18:20] <MVinzor> no
[18:20] <siddhion> edbian: thanks. talk to you later.
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> slimjimflim:  perhaps .appdata also.. i always change it to save them to Documents/vlc :)
[18:21] <h00k> !wine | iksik
[18:21] <edbian> siddhion, Good luck1
[18:21] <siddhion> :)
[18:21] <iksik> h00k, ok, but i think this isnt an answer ;P
[18:21] <KindOne> iksik: they are porting Steam to linux
[18:22] <iksik> KindOne, is there any beta? :D
[18:22] <h00k> iksik: It has information to direct you to the !appdb, also #winehq for the wine people :)
[18:22] <oerb> :-)
[18:22] <oerb> STEAM Beta hehe nice
[18:22] <iksik> oerb, whats funny in that? :>
[18:22] <KindOne> ikonia: nope.... have to wait on the offical release
[18:22] <iksik> uhm
[18:23] <GdAwGz> whats going on
[18:23] <GdAwGz> what?
[18:24] <Pici> !hi | GdAwGz
[18:24] <oerb> iksik give mi zulu time an I will test too
[18:24] <iksik> h00k, ok, but im not sure is that a wine related question
[18:24] <iksik> i'm playing in CounterStrike 1.6 using wine, but.... to handle switching back into my desktop while playing a game, i'm using separate display for CS, but, there is no sound in game... is there any way to fix it?
[18:24] <GdAwGz> backtrack 4 brought me here
[18:25] <GdAwGz> wow i'''m new to linux and loviin every min
[18:25] <iksik> h00k i think it is mostly linux related
[18:25] <iksik> GdAwGz, good for You :D
[18:25] <a3ist> this may not be explicitly an ubuntu question, but does anyone know of a bookmark extension for chrome (that's *nix compatible of course) that allows grouping and previews/thumbnails?
[18:25] <Pici> GdAwGz: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? Or are you looking for backtrack's support channel?
[18:26] <loopidity> why is it that every time I boot up ubuntu, a different particular letter gets unvisible(a solid square appears)
[18:26] <loopidity> now all the # have become a small rectangle
[18:26] <GdAwGz> oh i was just looking around,,,
[18:26] <a3ist> loopidity, try changing font and see if that fixes it
[18:26] <a3ist> loopidity, if it does, reinstall the font that's wonky
[18:27] <loopidity> where is the font settings exactly, if u remember off the top of ur head
[18:27] <Pupeno> To restore evolution from a backup, do I need anything else than to copy the ~/.evolution directory?
[18:27] <a3ist> loopidity, Appearance control panel
[18:28] <paraintj> Anyone using google chrome yet on ubuntu?
[18:28] <loopidity> a3ist you were right, the Sans fonts was having trouble
[18:28] <paraintj> ohhhh I found it :p sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[18:29] <Bushido> not chromium
[18:29] <Bushido> get it from google. search for chrome linux
[18:29] <paraintj> ok thanks bushido
[18:29] <Bushido> chromium is different
[18:29] <paraintj> ohh
[18:29] <Bushido> chrome was based on chromium though, if it makes you feel better
[18:29] <a3ist> loopidity, also check the different font options to see if theres a better one for your monitor type, like LCD smoothing
[18:29] <bastidrazor> paraintj: i got it from google. google chrome does well for me. lacks in plugins but is very fast and snappy
[18:30] <Exavion> the extensions work well in lucid on the chrome stable beta
[18:30] <Exavion> plugins need to be manually worked in, like some java ones etc
[18:30] <Exavion> which is simply linking a library
[18:30] <paraintj> very cool guys they did a nice .deb installer too!
[18:30] <paraintj> Thanks for the tips
[18:31] <mattwynne> folks I have another missing file: /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
[18:31] <mattwynne> any idea how I can regenerate it?
[18:31] <mattwynne> I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the apt package avahu
[18:31] <mattwynne> sorry avahi
[18:31] <ThisOtherGuy> Can anyone help me with an nvidia driver issue?
[18:32] <casa> mattwynne:  what can i do to fix an sd card
[18:32] <asane_> I get the following error when trying to run a program. Could anyone tell me what it means or how to fix it?
[18:32] <asane_> :~$ truecrypt
[18:32] <asane_> truecrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[18:32] <Brunellus> d00t
[18:32] <jovaro> I am having some problems with the languages in Gnome, the language selector at the login-screen only controls the language of non-gnome programs. The gnome language is controlled elsewhere. Is that a known bug?
[18:32] <casa> oerb:  how
[18:32] <bastidrazor> mattwynne: avahi-daemon is the package the pulls that. use dpkg -S filename to find out what package provides it
[18:33] <a3ist> ThisOtherGuy, a good tip for getting support in #ubuntu is to write your question up with specific details in a note or text editor so you can copy paste it here.  The more specifics the better.
[18:33] <longbi> hi all
[18:33] <a3ist> asane_, run this and pastebin the output:   "dpkg -l | grep fuse"
[18:33] <clueless_newbie> I'm bran new to linux so I have no idea what "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: menu" means
[18:33] <ThisOtherGuy> a3ist: thanks - will post pastebin
[18:34] <longbi> can anyone help me with mouse gesture not working
[18:34] <mattwynne> bastidrazor: how can I get the package installer to re-install that file?
[18:34] <clueless_newbie> can somebody help me please
[18:34] <clueless_newbie> im trying to install graphical user interface for ufw
[18:34] <mattwynne> I've tried unintalling and re-installing the avahi-daemon package but it's still not there
[18:34] <jovaro> Also it seems to be impossible to change the language with the gnome-language-selector for only 1 user. It can only change things systemwide, is that the same for anyone but me?
[18:34] <a3ist> mattwynne, did you try "sudo service avahid start"
[18:34] <a3ist> installing a daemon won't start it automatically
[18:35] <asane_> a3ist: http://pastebin.org/321784
[18:35] <Jordan_U> clueless_newbie: How are you trying to install it?
[18:35] <Brunellus> sigh. update to Lucid just hosed my box
[18:35] <Brunellus> won't even start or give me a root shell or anything.
[18:35] <clueless_newbie> by clicking the deb i downloaded from http://gufw.tuxfamily.org/
[18:35] <mattwynne> a3ist: it does seem to have started by itself actually. What I'm trying to do is recover the config file
[18:35] <Brunellus> something to do with the fact that /proc isn't there?

[18:57] <MPX> Hello! I moved my home partition to another drive using "rsying -avP". Thing is, I had to do SUDO rsync -avP from the live cd as some premissions were denied. Everything works, but I'm afraid some permissions we're changed and that might give me future troubles. After I did this, my ubuntu would not boot, so I booted into terminal and did a "sudo chmod -R 777" to the home dir, to change EVERYTHING to my USER. So now, everything works, but then again, I'm
[18:57] <MPX> afraid I might have changed some locked settings to user. Is there a way to change the default files in the home dir that comes with the ubuntu install to their default permissions? Sorry for the long Q :) In fact, do I have anything to worry about? I just had to reinstall my FGLRX.
[18:58] <profxavier> good luck deadhead :D

[19:00] <master1> yes, in C drive, two OS are installed as dual boot, winXP and ubuntu 10.4 in same C drive so thats why i used that word

[19:01] <clueless_newbie> Decent question for once- Im using Ubuntu on a flash-drive with persistent state. Is there a way to switch between persistent state and non persistent state inside Ubuntu.  If I start a session of Ubuntu and decide that I want nothing I've done in that session to be written to the flash drive and only stay in the system ram and for that session to be cleared leaving no trace whatsoever. Is...
[19:01] <clueless_newbie> ...this even possible?

[19:02] <master1> yes files are accessable
[19:02] <master1> but when i use winXP through vmware, data get corrupted
[19:02] <Pici> Sorrell: I suggest picking a better password and doing the command in a window where you wouldn't accidentally send it to 1500 people.
[19:02] <greg_B> this is not the behavior i get on another machine with the same software
[19:02] <charithm> hello
[19:02] <erUSUL> MPX: if you are the only user in the machine it may not be a pressing issue... anywaythe some programs will complain about permission in some config files. keep that in mind

[19:02] <greg_B> ideas?
[19:03] <BGL-[s]> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon
[19:03] <erUSUL> MPX: there is no automated way of fixing this that i know of
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> master1: if you are using vmware i'd ask in #vmware ,the guest OS is accessing the data. If there is corruption it sounds like a vmware issue
[19:03] <Pici> BGL-[s]: Yes?
[19:03] <charithm> can i aske back track
[19:03] <Pici> BGL-[s]: Please don't post random links here.
[19:03] <master1> ok i move to there, thank you for answering me and helping me out.
[19:03] <Pici> charithm: We do not support backtrack here, please use their support channel: #backtrack-linux

[19:04] <guntbert> clueless_newbie: no
[19:04] <greg_B> i am sorry, i had an interruption.  any ideas about the strange dvd behavior?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Clueless_newbie: its for anyone running backtack expecting support here
[19:05] <erUSUL> MPX: as i said. any program that stores paswords or things like that will like more restrictive permissions and may complain about it.
[19:05] <charithm> can i change my user name and pass in backtrack
[19:05] <pdg1> Actionparsnip... do I sound like the kind of Person to md5 :p I actually burnt Ubuntu and then xubuntu so I assumed that chances were good I wouldn't have issues with both files
[19:05] <MPX> erUSUL, but are those programs stored in your home dir? I didn't know that root passwords and whatnot was stored there
[19:06] <clueless_newbie> well is ubuntu even capable of doing what I was asking?
[19:06] <greg_B> in other programs i get messages like "nav packet not found" and such
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: I assume nothing in here
[19:06] <erUSUL> MPX: no; root passwords are not. but mail; ssh keys; gpg ; firefox etc...
[19:06] <h00k> charithm: you need to head to #backtrack-linux for Backtrack support
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: statistically you could download an infinite number of files and never get a good one.
[19:06] <h00k> charithm: this isn't quite the place for that :)
[19:06] <MPX> erUSUL, Synaptic and aMSN started fine...if these two works then I'm good :)
[19:07] <joesin> what channel should I goto for usb device and driver info?
[19:07] <bmunger> How do I add another user to the system with an encrypted home directory for that person?
[19:07] <pdg1> Actionparsnip
[19:07] <MPX> Chrome does not complain either about stored passwords
[19:07] <erUSUL> MPX: fair enough :)
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> greg_B: trie d a different player
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | pdg1
[19:07] <charithm> so where i get support for back track
[19:07] <h00k> charithm: you need to head to #backtrack-linux for Backtrack support
[19:07] <h00k> charithm: /join #backtrack-linux
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: bad iso will make a bad install.
[19:07] <greg_B> yes, vlc, gxine, totem-xine mplayer
[19:07] <MPX> erUSUL, Thanks for the help :)
[19:07] <sajro> Hey all, I just installed UNR on a Gateway LT2023U, trying to dual-boot with Win 7. Windows boots fine, but Ubuntu hangs after GRUB. The recovery kernel option hangs as well. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: tried a few disks?
[19:07] <joesin> has anyone been able to get mimo usb monitors to work with ubuntu?
[19:07] <erUSUL> MPX: no problem
[19:08] <charithm> ok thanx have a nice day
[19:08] <greg_B> yes, all with similar behavior
[19:08] <pdg1> Actionparsnip. So how should I go about checking my downloads?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Sajro: boot to live cd and reinstall grub
[19:08] <greg_B> as i say, it works in desktop
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: ubottu gave you a link on how
[19:08] <iromli> how do i fix broken packages when installing vlc on lucid lynx ??
[19:08] <greg_B> i can open the dvd disks and view the files, so i don't think it's the drive
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Iromli: sudo apt-get -f install
[19:09] <joesin> so no dive with mimo?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: you don't have to open the disk, just select file -> play disk
[19:09] <pdg1> Actionparsnip. Sorry, I'm actually on irc on my Android phone :p missing a lot of stuff while o type
[19:09] <iromli> ActionParsnip: will try it now
[19:09] <bmunger> How do I add another user to the system with an encrypted home directory for that person?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | pdg1
[19:09] <clueless_newbie> does anybody know if there is a way of turning persistence on and off for Linux installed on a flash drive?
[19:09] <Jordan_U> clueless_newbie: Yes, you can change the kernel parameters at boot to not include persistence.
[19:10] <greg_B> yes, i would do that to play; i did this only to see if perhaps the drive could not see the disc
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: I'm on android phone too. Using andchat?
[19:10] <sajro> ActionParsnip: I reinstalled GRUB when I installed UNR again (I thought my initial issue was not formatting the / partition, but it happened even after doing that during UNR install).
[19:10] <greg_B> btw, i try to use open source formats as often as possible, but for dvds, i have no choice.
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: i'd uninstall the dvd packagesadvised by the guide then reinstall them
[19:10] <pdg1> Actionparsnip. Yeah, HTC hero :p
[19:10] <joesin> can anyone suggest a channel to go to regarding usb video drivers?
[19:11] <ciphergoth> Having trouble recording video with Cheese.  The live preview of the video looks fine, but when I start recording, I get a frame every few seconds :-(
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: g1 here
[19:11] <greg_B> likewise with mp3; car radio won't play oggs
[19:11] <MKM> ubotu : hi
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:11] <greg_B> ActionParsnip:  thanks.  I will try.  should i uninstall in a cetain order?
[19:11] <Pici> MKM: ubottu is a bot, it won't converse with you.
[19:11] <greg_B> yes, i have that, and medibuntu, and the libdvdread4
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: not really the deps will be handled for you
[19:12] <bmunger> How do I add another user to the system with an encrypted home directory for that person?
[19:12] <pdg1> Actionparsnip. At least you've got a full keyboard
[19:12] <joesin> Pici: seems like not many others are chiming up either though... ;)
[19:12] <Pici> joesin: :P
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: totally :)
[19:12] <greg_B> bmunger:  what do you mean encrypted?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Sajro: I'm not so conversant with grub as I only single boot on all my systems
[19:13] <greg_B> is synaptic the best way to remove them all?
[19:13] <Firstgear> can anybody recommend a good local dictionary for ubuntu other than stardict
[19:13] <sajro> ah ok thanks anyway
[19:13] <laomao> hi... i'm building a very very lightweight desktop environment, so am using openbox as a window manager; I'd like something that allows me to launch programs by name without needing menus or icons - any suggestions?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Sajro: maybe someone else can chime in
[19:13] <bmunger> greg_B: it allows me to encrypt the home directory using ecryptfs during installation for the one user, i want to add another user with encrypted home directory
[19:14] <guntbert> laomao: you do that from a regular shell anyway
[19:15] <laomao> guntbert: yes - but if i launch emacs-snapshot-gtk from a shell, i see a bunch of stderr in the terminal - i dont want that
[19:15] <laomao> i'd like something more like quicksilver on a mac
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> laomao: most use alt+f2 to bring up a run dialogue. You may be able to use a shortcut key app to interpret shotcut combinations. Fluxbox is good at that too. You may get a package or 2 to make it fly in openbox if it doesn't have it
[19:15] <greg_B> ActionParsnip:  is synaptic the best way to remove them?  I think i would remove all the programs and start over--but not the medibuntu repositories
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: its one way. There is no best
[19:16] <mattgyver> Anyone know how to get nautilus to autoplay media files on mouseover, it suddenly stopped working for me a few days back
[19:16] <laomao> ActionParsnip: alt+f2 doesn't do anyhting yet...
[19:16] <greg_B> one more thing:  i had totem-gstreamer and totem-xine but could not run totem-xine from command line
[19:17] <greg_B> ext
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Laomao: I use lxde which comes with openbox by default and it has the alt+f2 thing
[19:17] <ryan_> my grub.cfg is empty and i want to edit the order can anyone assist me?
[19:17] <rewati> hi my system is running slow will recompiling the kernel will help what all reason can be there which makes the system slow where can i find article for tweaks for speed
[19:17] <pdg1> Laomao, try gnome-do
[19:17] <laomao> ActionParsnip: let me read baout lxde
[19:17] <greg_B> Thank you all for your ideas.  Have a lovely day.
[19:17] <laomao> pdg1: thanks - will read abotut hat too
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_: run: sudo update-grub ,to generate the file
[19:18] <enigma1919> hello world!
[19:18] <ZachK_> enigma1919: ok...
[19:18] <ryan_> actionparsnip thanks!
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_: you don't edit that file as it is generated. You edit the grub2 config files then run update-grub to apply the settings
[19:18] <pdg1> Loamoa, nevermind if your doing a lightweight system :p
[19:19] <ryan_> actionparsnip what do i run in terminal to edit the grub2?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Loamoa: yeah gnomedo looks like quicksilver (just looked at some screenies). I believe that needs compiz etc
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | ryan_
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_: its a bit more involved
[19:20] <laomao> pdg1: yes, gnome-do is exactly what I want
[19:20] <ryan_> the command isn't working
[19:20] <longbi> hi everyone, i need help on mouse accessibility?
[19:20] <laomao> what's the best way to get gnome-do running within my openbox session when i log in?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Laomao: gnomedo reuires sompositing as far as I know
[19:20] <ryan_> actionparsip, the command isnt working
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_: what command?
[19:21] <ryan_> to edit grub2
[19:21] <sitdox> hi for all
[19:21] <ryan_> !grub2?
[19:21] <nucc1> anyone able to get colour printing from hp laserjet 2600n on ubuntu?
[19:21] <ciphergoth> Is there a way to change the default video output format?
[19:21] <ciphergoth> seems like I don't have enough CPU for ogv
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_; me typing !grub2 makes ubottu give you a link to a guide, !grub2 is NOT a command
[19:21] <ryan_> oh haha
[19:21] <rewati> hi my system is running slow will recompiling the kernel will help what all reason can be there which makes the system slow where can i find article for tweaks for speed
[19:21] <ryan_> actionparsnip im a retard
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Nucc1: grab the latest hplip and install it. May help
[19:22] <longbi> my mouse accessibility not working. can anyone help?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | ryan_
[19:22] <oldsmoky2> hi, folks... I'm a pretty inexperienced 10.04 user having an issue with the panel on top of the desktop screen. For the second time since I installed 10.04 last week, it opened without the logout option or the internet connections indicator. Any ideas?
[19:22] <sajro> ActionParsnip: i think i found my problem; i installed ubuntu on an extended partition. that's probably a stupid way to do it.
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Rewati: could set vm.swappiness to a low value if you have more than 1Gb RAm
[19:23] <longbi> hi dinya
[19:23] <guntbert> rewati: its highly unlikely the you will get more "speed" that way - define "slow" please
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Sajro: didn't think it mattered but if you found it and its an issue then i'd go with it
[19:23] <sajro> can't hurt to try
[19:23] <rewati> @actionparsnip i have 2 gb
[19:24] <guntbert> oldsmoky2: that happens now and then here too - just log out an in again
[19:24] <nucc1> ActionParsnip, i'm using lucid. it doesn't have the latest?
[19:24] <dinya> hello longbi
[19:24] <rewati> @guntbert my window is taking long time to minimize maximize application are taking long hr to open
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Rewati: vm swappiness at low values keeps apps in ram more, rather than using swap. Can make things smoother but won't really speed up compiles as they involve lots of access to slow physical disks
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Nucc1: not sure but its good to get the one on the site imho
[19:25] <longbi> dinya: can you help me with my mouse accesibility. its not working... please
[19:25] <Jordan_U> sajro: There's no problem with installing to an extended partition. Do you get any error message when you try to boot
[19:25] <oldsmoky2> thanks, guntbert... Is there an easy way to restart since I don't have the button up there in the top right?
[19:25] <laomao> ActionParsnip: works without compositing, but themes require it
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Nucc1: sometimes the one on the site says it will give extra features
[19:26] <rewati> @actionparsnip ok creating custom kernel is good or bad specially when every now and then there is new kernel update release
[19:26] <laomao> brb restarting x
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Laomao: I see. Cool
[19:26] <jaime> hi, fresh 10.4, sending thunderbird mail with attachment freezes the whole machine in mid progress, not even magic sysrq works. no problems without attachment, no problem receiving mail+attachment, no problem displaying/saving those. reinstalled TB, started off fresh profile, to no avail. any ideas
[19:26] <kalki> hello room
[19:26] <Zwei> If I'm MOVING a large file but accidentally cancelled, is the original copy still okay? - This is through the gui, not terminal.
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Rewati: nature of the beast dude.
[19:26] <nucc1> ActionParsnip, i'm going there now. see if it isn't too complicated to set up
[19:26] <kalki> irs 11:56 PM here
[19:26] <sajro> Jordan_U: oh there's not? ok well i get no error message (because the default boot is not verbose?) but it just sits there after selecting linux on grub. no indicator lights flash either.
[19:27] <guntbert> oldsmoky2: let me check -- I didn't see the "logout button" part
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Nucc1: download script, mark as executable. Run it as user (not sudo) in terminal
[19:27] <kalki> yeah zwei, it should be
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Peace out kids. Time to make some money
[19:27] <Zwei> kalki: Thanks :)
[19:27] <Jordan_U> sajro: Does it stay at the grub screen, or does the screen blank?
[19:28] <nucc1> ActionParsnip, ok.
[19:28] <kalki> zwei: it first gets copied and then the original is deleted
[19:28] <rewati> @actionparsnip sorry i didnt get u :(
[19:28] <sajro> Jordan_U: grub disappears, screen blanks save for a lone underscore (cursor? text input doesn't affect it) at the top left of the screen
[19:29] <Zwei> kalki: Ah, that's reassuring to know. Usually I do that manually, copy things, then ensure the copied version is okay, then delete the original.
[19:29] <Jordan_U> sajro: What graphics card?
[19:30] <ankush> hi :)
[19:30] <guntbert> oldsmoky2: right click on the panel, add to panel, select "log out"
[19:31] <sajro> Jordan_U: in addition, browsing the drive from the LiveUSB shows everything in apparent order. graphics card is Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
[19:31] <kalki> zwei:i see
[19:31] <webdevbyjoss> hi
[19:31] <Zenith77> Hello, I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an Asus laptop (core i5, nvidia 360m, etc)
[19:31] <kalki> zwei: was checking some settings. dats y delayed reply
[19:31] <oldsmoky2> ok, thanks... looks like that will do it
[19:32]  * laomao returns
[19:32] <Zenith77> However, closing the lid and opening it doesn't exactly work (laptop never goes to sleep/hibernate and then when opened won't display anything)
[19:32] <Jordan_U> sajro: Try adding the kernel parameter "modeset=0", and if that doesn't help try "modeset=1"
[19:32] <Zenith77> Do i need to mess with some settings or is this out of scope for ubuntu and up to Asus to handle?
[19:32] <kalki> zenith: u've probably checked the power management
[19:33] <laomao> so... is compiz the thing that does nifty effects like zooming out to show all the open things at once?
[19:33] <sajro> Jordan_U: sorry for my ignorance, but where do i add this? menu.lst?
[19:33]  * laomao is so 1990s
[19:33] <nucc1> laomao, yeap.
[19:33] <Jordan_U> sajro: Press 'e' at boot to edit the menu entry temporarily
[19:33] <Jork> helo wich nvidia driver uses latest ubuntu 195...?
[19:33] <laomao> i've just got a new computer - with 2 monitors, and a decent graphics card, and 8G of RAM
[19:33] <laomao> so it's all new!
[19:33] <kalki> and rotating desktop too laomao
[19:34] <laomao> ok so do I just apt-get install compiz?
[19:34] <kalki> that's some memory
[19:34] <rewati> @actionparsnip sorry i didnt get u :(
[19:34] <Mrokii> Jork:  195.36.15
[19:34] <laomao> oh compiz is lready installed
[19:34] <kalki> nope, goto Synaptics and then do it laomao
[19:34] <nucc1> laomao, lol. just go to System > Preferences > Appearance
[19:34] <ankush> ive upgraded to lucid from 9.10, im unable to see the network manager on the panel.
[19:35] <kalki> its gone ankush
[19:35] <Mrokii> Jork:  That's what got installed when I let Ubuntu look for hardware-drivers.
[19:35] <laomao> nucc1: i'm using openbox! but i want some of that compositing love!
[19:35] <ankush> kalki: gone? live cd shows it...
[19:35] <nucc1> ankush, tough cookie to crack. run 'nm-applet' from a terminal and see what it says.
[19:35] <krish_i> hi everyone...
[19:35] <mgamerz> #ubuntu-server pointed me here
[19:35] <krish_i> can anyone help me with wireless setup..
[19:35] <nucc1> laomao, you can't use both openbox and compiz. they are both window managers.
[19:35] <ankush> nucc1: right on
[19:36] <guntbert> !wireless | krish_i
[19:36] <krish_i> everytime i enable wirelesss, my laptop freezes in a couple of minutes..
[19:36] <laomao> nucc1: oh!
[19:36] <kalki> nm-applet: An instance of nm-applet is already running.
[19:36] <kalki> ** (nm-applet:13249): WARNING **: <WARN>  constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager.
[19:36] <krish_i> is this a bug.?
[19:36] <sajro> Jordan_U: i added modeset=0, nothing different, but i'm not sure i added it correctly. i pressed 'e' on the grub entry and put it at the bottom of the editing window. did i do this wrong or should i just try 1 now?
[19:36] <nucc1> ankush, in that case, close the terminal, then use ALT + F2 and then run nm-applet from there.
[19:36] <laomao> ok so compiz replaces metacity in the gnome environment
[19:36] <nucc1> laomao, yeap.
[19:37] <Mrokii> laomao:  you probably should install Compizconfig Settings manager.
[19:37] <mgamerz> I am installing proprietary NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu Server (Im going to record TV with this)
[19:37] <mgamerz> and i need the hardware acceleration part
[19:37] <nucc1> laomao, IMHO, compiz is what metacity should've been from the get go.
[19:37] <buppa_> Anyone else having problems with properitary drivers for ATI Radeon HD 5770? My CPU usage is very high.
[19:37] <Juanca> hi... somebody unplugged my computer and now I can't enter ubuntu, it seems to be starting and the login screen appears, but after that it loads the background image and freezes. I've tried to enter in error proof mode but it ends with an underscore blinking
[19:37] <istevenmon> hi guys, is there any way to recover an NTFS FS after mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 ?
[19:37] <mgamerz> but the kernel will not rebuild
[19:37] <Jordan_U> sajro: It needs to go at the end of the line that begins with "linux" (which may wrap around since it doesn't all fit on one line)
[19:37] <Jork> Mrokii: thnx that's are latest drivers
[19:37] <Mrokii> laomao:  I am not sure if that is installed by default, but it let's you change all kinds of compiz-things.
[19:38] <Jordan_U> istevenmon: Probably not, but you may be able to recover some files with photorec
[19:38] <laomao> basically i want a work environment with no gnome menus or applets - just some terminals, emacs, a brower and some virtual machines; so openbox is perfect, with gnome-do to launch stuff and the ability to see all the open apps in one shot
[19:38] <kalki> gnome should suffice ur needs laomao
[19:39] <sajro> Jordan_U: that line ends in "ro quiet splash", are you saying to make that "ro quiet splash modeset=0"?
[19:39] <Mgamerz> eh
[19:39] <Mgamerz> what is the lucid name for the 'HardWare Drivers' application?
[19:39] <JoshDreamland> error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory
[19:39] <Mgamerz> I'm running Server (they won't help me) and it's not installed when I install X
[19:39] <nucc1> laomao, then why do you still need compiz?
[19:39] <nucc1> laomao, ah, he he. you can only get zoom from compiz.
[19:39] <ankush> nucc1: nthng happend
[19:39] <kalki> jockey-gtk
[19:39] <JoshDreamland> That file was included by another file under /usr/include. Meaning there's something wrong with my /usr/ folder.
[19:39] <laomao> nucc1: I understand
[19:39] <nucc1> ankush, "nothing happened" as a result of which action?
[19:39] <Mgamerz> thanks
[19:40] <JoshDreamland> How can I repair it?
[19:40] <ankush> nucc1: alt+f2 nm-applet
[19:40] <nucc1> ankush, when you press alt+f2, a window should pop up, where you type 'nm-applet' inside.
[19:41] <ankush> nucc1: done that..
[19:41] <Jordan_U> sajro: Yes, and you probably also want to remove the "quiet" and "splash"
[19:41] <ankush> nucc1: nothing happens after that
[19:41] <nucc1> ankush, when you ran it from the terminal, did the applet show up?
[19:41] <sipior> JoshDreamland: ensure that the package "libc6-dev-i386" is installed.
[19:42] <ankush> nucc1: no, the error that kalki showed... came up
[19:42] <kalki> nuccl, it seems ankush needs front-end not the cli one
[19:42] <JoshDreamland> sipior: hero status
[19:42] <JoshDreamland> for the next ten minutes at very least
[19:42] <nucc1> ankush, or did it give you an error message?
[19:42] <zanberdo> is there a way to select options when booting 10.04 live as one could with previous versions? specifically the nodmraid option? I don't see anything on the initial boot screen
[19:42] <sipior> i'll try to enjoy it...
[19:42] <sajro> Jordan_U: oh, verbosity! :D ok modeset=0 it still hangs, last line printed is "[    2.304639] ata4: DUMMY". i'll try with modeset=1.
[19:43] <Mgamerz> this channel is SOOO hard to read in irssi
[19:43] <ankush> nucci : exactly same as kalki gave above, except nm-applet:2149
[19:44] <Jordan_U> Mgamerz: Actually I find it easier with irssi than with most, in large part due to "/lastlog" and "/scrollback"
[19:44] <launch> Mgamerz, put JOIN QUIT and PART into another window
[19:44] <Pici> !quietirssi
[19:44] <launch> Pici nice tips
[19:44] <Mgamerz> hopefully that works :P
[19:44] <nucc1> ankush, ah, ok, try 'killall nm-applet'
[19:44] <nucc1> ankush,  in the terminal
[19:44] <Mgamerz> My tablet is being stupid so i am just using irssi instead of xchat
[19:44] <nucc1> ankush, that's why i said it is a tough cookie.
[19:45] <nucc1> :)
[19:45] <sajro> Jordan_U: and now it hangs at something one after the "ata: DUMMY" message; this says "[   2.298199] b43-pci-bridge 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16", which i assume has something to do with wireless. still no indicator lights.
[19:45] <nucc1> anyone know where i can manually download the hplip plugin? the ubuntu method keeps telling me no internet connection detected
[19:46] <ankush> nucc1: did it using sudo.. tried running nm-applet again
[19:46] <MPX> I managed to change every file and folder within my $HOME to my user, including every hidden file. Is that a very, very, very bad thing? What's the worst that could happen? Every program that requires a password works
[19:46] <nucc1> ankush, you don't need sudo.
[19:46] <nucc1> ankush, what did killall nm-applet say?
[19:46] <buppa_> Anyone else having problems with properitary drivers for ATI Radeon HD 5770? My CPU usage is very high. I need help! Is open source drivers supported for Radeon HD 5770?
[19:47] <Jordan_U> Mgamerz: Knowing your entire situation, I'd say that the easiest solution is to just install Ubuntu desktop. If you have SG2D still on your SD card then you can just create a directory, /boot-isos/, put the Ubuntu Desktop CD in that directory, and boot the iso with SG2D (rather than using unetbootin, which will clobber SG2D)
[19:47] <Mgamerz> grr
[19:47] <Mgamerz> forgot to install gnome
[19:47] <laomao> what's the default jabber client called?
[19:47] <Mgamerz> all it gave me was xterm and it just totally locked up
[19:47] <ankush> nucc1:nothing..
[19:47] <ubutom_> MPX, did a chmod -R 777 once to all files in my /home/ folder, didn't do anything bad for me :)
[19:48] <iceroot> ubutom_: never do that!!!!
[19:48] <nucc1> ankush, then do 'nm-applet' again,
[19:48] <ubutom_> MPX, was because I copied it from another location and was too lazy  and didn't know better
[19:48] <MPX> ubutom_, Awesome! :D
[19:48] <MPX> Same here ubutom_
[19:48] <Mgamerz> i'm already running server
[19:48] <Mgamerz> i reinstalled it
[19:48] <Mgamerz> so everything is good
[19:48] <nucc1> ankush, basically, we need to terminate the current copy of nm-applet, and run a new one.
[19:48] <ankush> nucc1: it shows the same error again...applet is already running
[19:48] <Mgamerz> i went through all of this on the first server install i had
[19:48] <Barrett> ?
[19:48] <iceroot> ubutom_: now the wholeworld can see your private ssh-key and so on
[19:48] <nucc1> ankush, with number: 2149?
[19:49] <MPX> ubutom_ One of my hdd was dying (the one with the $HOME) and I copied home to another. Now, I didnt want to repartition it and just mirror the partition as I had 600 gb worth of files on it
[19:49] <MPX>  :P
[19:49] <ubutom_> iceroot, no, was a previous install
[19:49] <ubutom_> wow 600gb :D
[19:49] <ankush> nucc1: no, this time 2273
[19:49] <nucc1> then try 'kill 2149'
[19:49] <MPX> iceroot, is there a way to change this?
[19:49] <Jordan_U> Mgamerz: jocky is the name of the "restricted drivers" app, you can use "jocky-text" without X, or the normal "jockey-gtk"
[19:49] <psyhitus> hello, i have a problem, my notebook ASUS k50IN can't restart ubuntu 10.04, but can shutdown... How to repair it?((
[19:49] <laomao> hometime! thanks for all the help!
[19:50]  * laomao curtsies.
[19:50] <nucc1> ankush, i see. i've encountered this problem before. requires a bit of fiddling. try stopping the network manager service. 'sudo service network-manager stop'
[19:50] <iceroot> MPX: to undo the 777 thing? no not without a backup
[19:50] <MPX> damn :S
[19:50] <iceroot> MPX: so never ever use 777
[19:51] <nucc1> gedit
[19:51] <nucc1> oops.
[19:51] <jdizzle> anyone here play with virtual box?
[19:51] <MPX> iceroot, I had to do something, My HDD was dying pretty fast
[19:51] <ankush> nucc1: did that
[19:51] <Sasquatch7> is it possible to view the code of applications?
[19:51] <jdizzle> and have problems with slow clocks?
[19:51] <ubutom_> iceroot, MPX, maybe he could just change the security-critical ones?
[19:51] <nucc1> ankush, when you stop the nm-service, run 'nm-applet' . you don't need sudo when running nm-applet.
[19:51] <iceroot> MPX: cp, rsync, dd? no need for 777
[19:52] <MPX> iceroot, I had to do sudo rsync from livecd as rsync just didnt cut it
[19:52] <ankush> nucc1:same error with different number
[19:52] <MPX> That changed alot of permissions, mostly all, to root
[19:52] <ubutom_> or better yet, how about deleting all hidden folders, except mail and other stuff and just generating new ssh keys and so on?
[19:52] <Sasquatch7> Is it possible to find the code for applications and if so is it possible to view the code?
[19:52] <Mrokii> Sasquatch7:  Depends on the kind of "application" I would say. If it's a compiled one then I think no, if it's just an executable script (like a python-app) then yes.
[19:52] <kalki> nuccl: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=501045&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=501044&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=54
[19:53] <nucc1> ankush, try 'kill number' where number is the number given to you by the nm-applet commant.
[19:53] <kalki> nuccl: typo...sorry
[19:53] <sadiudsa> coto
[19:53] <nucc1> ankush, by the way, when you did the sudo service network-manager stop, what did it say?
[19:53] <Sasquatch7> Mrokii: Ok, I was thinking lets say gedit or terminal or anything of that nature, so for those it would be a no?
[19:53] <ubuntu> hola
[19:53] <ubutom_> iceroot, MPX or maybe creating another user and moving the needed stuff back, by that way the folders will have the right permissions for the new user, the content maybe not :(
[19:53] <erUSUL> !es | ubuntu
[19:54] <Mrokii> Sasquatch7:  Well, as these are open source, I am sure you can download the source *somewhere*. Though I wouldn't know where, heh.
[19:54] <sadiudsa> porque
[19:54] <MPX> ubutom_, that would be a good idea! Will it work?
[19:54] <Sasquatch7> Mrokii: ok, cheers, that was my thinking.
[19:54] <xylander> #ubuntu.pl
[19:54] <buppa_> Anyone else having problems with properitary drivers for ATI Radeon HD 5770? My CPU usage is very high. I need help! Is open source drivers supported for Radeon HD 5770?
[19:54] <ubutom_> MPX, don't know... just a guess on my part
[19:54] <Mrokii> sash_:  That's the beauty of Open Source :) Somewhere on the net you will find the source to it, heh.
[19:54] <Mrokii> oops
[19:54] <erUSUL> Sasquatch7: you can enable the source repositories and do « sudo apt-get source packagename » or go directly "upstream" i.e. the project website
[19:55] <Mrokii> Sasquatch7: That's the beauty of Open Source :) Somewhere on the net you will find the source to it, heh.
[19:55] <MPX> ubutom_, iceroot can't I just change my user to "desktop user" under users?
[19:55]  * arianit is away: I'm busy
[19:55] <erUSUL> !away > arianit
[19:55] <Sasquatch7> erUSUL: Thanks!
[19:55] <ankush> nucc1: it said  network manager stop/waiting
[19:57] <iceroot> MPX: for what?
[19:57] <Zenith77> if ubuntu isn't properly hibernating/sleeping when I close my laptop lid, is there anything I can do or should I contact Asus and see what they say?
[19:57] <ubutom_> MPX, was I read it, you changed the permissions back to your user, so I don't think you will be running in much trouble
[19:57] <nucc1> ankush, run gnome-session-properties
[19:57] <ubuntu> hola
[19:57] <ankush> nucc1: i ran the command ps -All | grep nm .. it gave a ps with pid 2217 2133 . ps name is nm-applet.
[19:57] <MPX> iceroot, I'm just tossing out questions and Ideas to things I have no clue about. That's what. I thought perhaps you'd have more clue then me
[19:57] <MPX> The reason being you being quiet
[19:58] <iceroot> MPX: the reason is that you cant repair 777 if you dont have a backup of the acls
[19:58] <nucc1> ankush, open gnome-session-properties, uncheck network-manager from there. go to the options tab, save the current session, then log out, log back in, and run nm-applet from terminal.
[19:59] <MPX> iceroot, would creating a new user and move the user folders (like videos, pictures and whatnot) to that dir work?
[19:59] <iceroot> MPX: maybe you can use getfacl on an exisiting user, to get reh chmod-modes and apply it on your files (change username)
[19:59] <ubutom_> MPX, you did do what erUSUL adn Action Parsnip said, yes? The part with chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser/ ?
[20:00] <MPX> ubutom_, no I did a chmod. :( This was before they said to use Chown
[20:00] <iceroot> MPX: the problems are not videos pictures or something like that, the problems are ssh-keys, keyring and so on
[20:00] <MPX> iceroot, but can I just create a new user?
[20:00] <ubutom_> MPX, iceroot, or is that not possible afterwards?
[20:00] <iceroot> MPX: of your
[20:00] <MPX> and delete the old?
[20:00] <buppa_> Anyone else having problems with properitary drivers for ATI Radeon HD 5770? My CPU usage is very high. I need help! Is open source drivers supported for Radeon HD 5770?
[20:01] <edbian> buppa_, The best way to find an easy solution is to search synaptic for Radeon 5770.
[20:01] <MPX> If I could just create ANOTHER user and move some dirs to that, that would be FINE :)
[20:01] <MPX> But I need to know if this would fix it
[20:01] <edbian> buppa_, If there is a package that has that in the description it's usually a driver for your card.  (Also, yes, I think there is an open source driver.  A better question is if it's better?)
[20:01] <Zenith77> if ubuntu isn't properly hibernating/sleeping when I close my laptop lid, is there anything I can do or should I contact Asus and see what they say?
[20:01] <ankush> nucc1, its showing some errors , but the icon is back
[20:01] <nucc1> MPX, you can always chown your files to the new user.
[20:02] <buppa_> edbian, when i installed the drivers from hardware drivers section that ubuntu recommended it said with and AMD logo "unsupported hardware"
[20:02] <iceroot> MPX: if you are only interested in pictures and so on the 777 is not that bad, i am talking about important things like keywords and so on
[20:02] <Clouse> Hi there all, sorry if this is a bit off topic but how to I register myself and my nick with channelserve? I vaguely remember typing a command years ago with my user nick and creating a password but have forgotten it all. Anyone care to tell me what to do?
[20:02] <buppa_> edbian, but when i downloaded the ati driver and isntalled from the website it said it worked but CPU usage is very high
[20:02] <ubutom_> iceroot, will sudo chown -r MPX:MPX /home/MPX for example reset the permissions to something healthier or will it stay 777?
[20:02] <nucc1> ankush, that's a start. what are the errors. you can send it in a private message.
[20:02] <ankush> nucc1, it shows network manager is not running
[20:02] <MPX> iceroot, I know. But will it fix it if I create a new user and log into that? Will that new user have that fixed permissions yes/no?
[20:02] <ankush> nucc1, ok
[20:02] <iceroot> ubutom_: chown is chaging the owner, not the permission
[20:03] <iceroot> MPX: yes
[20:03] <nucc1> ankush, recall you 'stopped' network-manager?
[20:03] <nucc1> ankush, just do in a terminal 'sudo service network-manager start'
[20:03] <MPX> Excellent. Then I'll do that. :)
[20:03] <DeliriumTremens> What does it mean if I'm in the terminal and suddenly I get the message "The system is going down for halt NOW!"
[20:03] <DeliriumTremens> I didn't even do anything
[20:03] <parent> I tried the ati drivers on 9.10 & Lucid and got them damn watermark logos
[20:04] <pingya> my thinkpad seems to run really hot without increasing fan speed --is there someway to check the fan options?
[20:04] <ubutom_> iceroot, MPX hhm, but when you move configuration stuff from the old user over to the new, it will still have the wrong permissions, no?
[20:04] <drmagoo> I've got a problem since upgrading to the 2.6.32-22 kernel, I've got no sound anymore. Have tried to reload the drivers but it doesnt hwlp...Anyone got any idea on what to try?
[20:05] <pvl1> how can i get the python2.4-dbus library in lucid
[20:05] <pvl1> drmagoo, try alsamixer?
[20:05] <iceroot> ubutom_: yes, still 777
[20:06] <drmagoo> pv11 > "cannot open mixer: no such file or directory"
[20:06] <DeliriumTremens> ok then
[20:06] <MPX> I'll just make a backup of all personal files on the hdd, boot from livecd, remove home dir, make a new homedir with a new system
[20:06] <pyghassen> hi there
[20:06] <ubutom_> iceroot, ok, but it could be possible to set the permissions to something saner like 644 or something
[20:06] <pyghassen> any one knows a good uml creator tool in ubuntu
[20:06] <iceroot> ubutom_: you have to know for every file the correct permission
[20:06] <parent> how do I get rid of the Testing use only & Unsupported hardware watermark
[20:06] <QuiltPants1> hi all, is it just me or is it confusing to find the stable release of the wine package in the software centre? Could someone please help me locate it?
[20:06] <iceroot> with 644 you have still the problem that others can read everything
[20:07] <iceroot> ubutom_:
[20:07] <ubutom_> iceroot, okay, but by doing something like that one could at least fix the security issues :)
[20:07] <Mgamerz> DeliriumTremens
[20:07] <Sonderblade> how do you stop pulseaudio from restarting when you kill it?
[20:07] <Mgamerz> I beleive it is when it just shuts down
[20:07] <ubutom_> well, thanks iceroot and MPX, another thing learned :)
[20:07] <pyghassen> any one knows a good uml creator tool in ubuntu?
[20:08] <iceroot> ubutom_: sure, as i said you have to know all permissions or a getfacl backup
[20:08] <adilalpman> hi all
[20:08] <MPX> Thanks yourself :)
[20:08] <pyghassen> any one knows a good uml creator tool in ubuntu ?
[20:09] <iceroot> pyghassen: jude (its now know with another name but the old name was jude)

[20:12] <neophoenix> :vlt use truecrypt the best :D
[20:12] <iceroot> ubutom_: look at setfacl
[20:13] <adilalpman> i installed ubuntu 10.04 before but i think that i havent got this problem in that time... :(
[20:13] <ubutom_> Ag, very nuce, thanks iceroot
[20:13] <ubutom_> *nice
[20:13] <neophoenix> vlt: use truecrypt
[20:14] <vlt> neophoenix: Thanks, but in this case I don't want dm or truecrypt but ecryptfs

[20:14] <adilalpman> can anybody help me how can i resolve my sound problem?
[20:15] <BasketCase> has anyone setup 10.04 to network boot with NFS root (a real install not the CD)?
[20:15] <Sorrell> anyone know where I can buy ebooks that will interface with calibre?
[20:16] <monokrome> Why does the Ubuntu website show how to burn Ubuntu in Windows, but not in Ubuntu? :D
[20:16] <Sorrell> because it's easy in Ubuntu :P
[20:16] <monokrome> Good point! :D
[20:16] <iceroot> monokrome: because you normally dont burn a ubuntu-cd using ubuntu
[20:17] <Sorrell> disc for a friend?
[20:17] <adilalpman> cany anybody help me?
[20:17] <Zenith77> ask your question first
[20:17] <monokrome> iridian: Ubuntu Server
[20:17] <Sorrell> adilalpman:  depends
[20:17] <BasketCase> monokrome: it does
[20:17] <adilalpman> i have already asked it :S
[20:17] <iceroot> Sorrell: that is not the common case but if you like to burn a cd, use brasero or k3b and choose disc image (iso)
[20:17] <urlwallace> Im having 10.5 freezing for 5 secs at a time when running flash in any browser
[20:17] <Alphanaut> anyone here familiar with KVpnc?

[20:18] <iceroot> Sorrell: ah ok :)
[20:18] <alabd> Good day all does ubuntu have commercial edition ?
[20:18] <Sorrell> adilalpman:  did you try setting the sound output device in pulse?
[20:19] <King_of_Metal> hi, how do I prevent /sbin/wpa_supplicant from respawning everytime I kill it? I want to run my own wpa_supplicant
[20:19] <iceroot> alabd: they have commercial support

[20:20] <anodesni> How can I install flash 10.1?
[20:20] <adilalpman> its name was control center in kde as u knoıw
[20:20] <iceroot> alabd: as i told you, no, but commercial support
[20:20] <BasketCase> alabd: what is it you want from a commercial version?
[20:20] <Sorrell> you should be able to right click on the sound icon and go from there.
[20:20] <alabd> iceroot: thanks
[20:21] <iceroot> adilalpman: gnome-control-center
[20:21] <ubutom_> not kontrol kenter? scnr adilalpman :)
[20:21] <iromli> mplayer is broken in lucid? how do i install mplayer?
[20:21] <Sorrell> adilalpman:  I would say that there are some known issues with sound blaster cards.
[20:21] <adilalpman> :(
[20:21] <trism> anodesni: if you download the beta from adobe, you can extract the file to ~/.mozilla/plugins if you just want to install it for your current user
[20:21] <adilalpman> but it worked when i install ubuntu 10.04 before :(
[20:21] <spezticle> how do i disable gnome's network manager completely so i can use ifup instead?
[20:21] <Sam_Fisher> Howdy Ya'll
[20:21] <anodesni> trism, firefox does not detect it
[20:21] <ubutom_> adilalpman, did you also install kde with 10.04?
[20:22] <trism> anodesni: do you have another flash already installed?
[20:22] <adilalpman> no
[20:22] <anodesni> trism, no
[20:22] <Sam_Fisher> If i had a nickle for ever time someone said "it worked before 10.04"
[20:22] <adilalpman> only gnome
[20:22] <completenewbie> Ubuntu will not allow me to edit my polipo config file even though I switched to an administer accountant with full rights that I just cread
[20:22] <completenewbie>   
[20:22] <trism> anodesni: you need to exit firefox and restart it before it will detect it
[20:22] <completenewbie> any ideas why not?
[20:22] <adilalpman> i didnt install kubuntu-desktop package
[20:22] <^Alita> how can i made wicd stop to ask me the password at the logon
[20:22] <^Alita> ?
[20:22] <anodesni> trism, let me try
[20:23] <ubutom_> hm, adilalpman, maybe in system stuff, dunno, am right now on lubuntu, it's a bit different than gnome
[20:23] <spezticle> and is there a search command to look for 'string' INSIDE of files through a directory structure?
[20:23] <iceroot> spezticle: grep -ir searchstring *  (inside the dir you want to search)
[20:23] <Sam_Fisher> I have dual monitors and each is separate. Nvidia driver. How do I make one the master?
[20:23] <adilalpman> where is
[20:23] <iceroot> spezticle: or replace * with the dir
[20:24] <spezticle> iceroot: will it do it recursively or do i add --recursive or something like that?
[20:24] <adilalpman> gnome-control-center in menus :(
[20:24] <Sam_Fisher> Where does Pidgin hide it's sound files? Not in .purple
[20:24] <iceroot> spezticle: grep -ir(ecursive)
[20:24] <iceroot> spezticle: its already in mein command
[20:24] <spezticle> iceroot: thanks :) i was jsut noticing that
[20:24] <Sam_Fisher> mein menu is chinese?
[20:24] <ubutom_> adilalpman, you could try to start it with alt F2 and then type gnome-control-center to start it
[20:25] <completenewbie> So any ideas why I cant edit a config file in an administrator account  with full accesses?
[20:25] <iceroot> completenewbie: medium is mounted as rw?
[20:26] <alabd> iceroot: but here http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu is written :Ubuntu is different from the commercial Linux offerings that preceded it because it doesn't divide its efforts between a high-quality commercial version and a free,
[20:26] <iceroot> alabd: yes, and the question is?
[20:26] <spezticle> i'm having a problem with ifup getting an IP with DHCP. it seems my router is offering a wrong ip address :DHCPOFFER of 193.170.1.102 from 192.168.1.1
[20:26] <completenewbie> I'm using it on a flash drive with a rw volume
[20:26] <iceroot> alabd: commercial offerings are sles, red hat, ucs
[20:26] <spezticle> it should be offering 192.x.x.x not 193?
[20:27] <adilalpman> i try speaker-test -c6 command but i cant hear any sound :(
[20:27] <alabd> iceroot:  does ubuntu have commercial version ?
[20:27] <completenewbie> and polipo did not come with the iso and was downloaded through the application center
[20:27] <iceroot> alabd: again, no!!
[20:27] <erUSUL> alabd: you can get commenrcial support
[20:27] <iceroot> alabd: but commercial support
[20:27] <erUSUL> !support | alabd
[20:27] <alabd> thanks

[20:28] <Costanza> anyone that runs firefox from the daily ppa
[20:28] <Costanza> hello
[20:28] <adilalpman> i really tired try to use my soundcard on linux with different distros till nearly 1 month :( :'(
[20:28]  * erUSUL hands iceroot a cup of tea
[20:28] <Sam_Fisher> Where does Pidgin hide it's sound files? Not in .purple
[20:28] <Costanza> i downloaded firefox 3.7 from it and it crash when i try to start it :/
[20:28] <no-name_> "Do you want to run * or display its conents?" - "* is an executable text file". How do I make it display in gedit on double click without this dialogue box by default?
[20:28] <iceroot> !canonical
[20:29] <Sam_Fisher> Costanza, How far does it get?
[20:29] <completenewbie> nobody has any ideas?
[20:29] <iceroot> he is gone :(
[20:29] <Sam_Fisher> completenewbie, how much experience do you have with Ubuntu?
[20:29] <Costanza> it gets nowhere.. i start it i see firefox in the bar down on the screen and after few seconds it is gone.. it does not start at all
[20:30] <completenewbie> just got it today
[20:30] <nucc1_> no-name_, remove the "execute" permissions from it.
[20:30] <Ublost_> can you mount all dev at once in ubuntu or do you have to do them one at a time?
[20:30] <completenewbie> but I know about administrator accountants
[20:30] <Costanza> the app does not show up
[20:30] <Sam_Fisher> completenewbie, just joking with you!
[20:30] <submain> Ublos_: mount -a
[20:30] <no-name_> thank you nucc1_
[20:30] <Sam_Fisher> completenewbie, hope you stick it out! It's worth it.
[20:31] <Sam_Fisher> Costanza, well it is starting but not finding some files. Did you install it from a Deb?
[20:31] <Costanza> i install it from ubuntu software center.. and there i added the daily firefox ppa
[20:31] <nucc1_> OMG! downloading 21MB at 3.09KB/s. :( I hate Gprs.
[20:32] <Costanza> "PPA for ubuntu mozilla daily build team"
[20:32] <ubutom_> nucc1_, I think he meant the dialog, not the file :)
[20:32] <no-name_> nucc1_, would that be chmod -x 'file' ?
[20:32] <Sam_Fisher> Costanza, I would ask someone here how to use terminal to uninstal FF and then reinstall
[20:32] <Costanza> i can uninstall firefox from software center..
[20:32] <Sam_Fisher> nucc1_,  stop bragging about your FIOS jerk
[20:32] <ubutom_> Costanza, do you have e firefox profile with bookmarks, etc?
[20:33] <nucc1_> no-name_, chmod a-x 'file' i guess. it's easiest to right-click, select properties, and uncheck "execute"
[20:33] <Sam_Fisher> nucc1_, just kidding
[20:33] <nucc1_> Sam_Fisher, i wish it was fios
[20:33] <etrask> Hello, I am having a problem with the Gnome terminal, and vi in particular. It seems the keymap is not what it should be, becasue vi is doing some funny things. The right arrow key inserts a capital C and a newline, backspace simply moves the cursor left, etc
[20:33] <no-name_> ok
[20:33] <ubutom_> Costanza, could be something in the profile thats bugging firefax
[20:33] <completenewbie> IS there a but that could prevent me from gaining full administrator rights?
[20:33] <h00k> Costanza: If you're having problems with the PPA, I'd check with Firefox people, it's not really something that's supported
[20:34] <completenewbie> because it seems like even though I created a full administrator account I still cant do things like edit files
[20:34] <nucc1_> Sam_Fisher, trying to download hplip. need to print a coloured document. i wish ubuntu would just include this stuff by default.
[20:34] <h00k> !ppa | Costanza
[20:34] <Sam_Fisher> ubutom_, I didn't think of that it's his Profile I bet
[20:34] <ubutom_> Costanza, would make a backup of your .Mozilla or .Firefox folder and try using a blank one
[20:34] <cipher42> is anyone else having problems with ddclient since 10.04?
[20:34] <nucc1_> completenewbie, where is the file located?
[20:34] <Costanza_> sorry .. firefox namoroka crashed
[20:34] <edbian> completenewbie, The "full administrator" is root.  You can log in as root by typing su root
[20:34] <etrask> nucc1_ I'm about 99% certain I saw "Preparing hplip..." on the install screen of 10.04 :P
[20:34] <Sam_Fisher> nucc1_, hell ya but Windows is terrified of us! I like that.
[20:34] <ubutom_> Sam_Fisher, yeah, could be, especially extensions
[20:35] <nucc1_> completenewbie, you can only edit files that were created by you. and NO. Do not log in as root, especially if you are a newbie.
[20:35] <Zenith77> completenewbie: that's because it doesn't work like you think it does :). Try doing sudo <whatever command>
[20:35] <Zenith77> like sudo nano myfile.txt
[20:35] <edbian> completenewbie, Part your not supposed to log in as root unless you have to.  This is one of the principals of linux security
[20:35] <Sam_Fisher> ubutom_, He should backup the profile and let it create a new one
[20:35] <Sam_Fisher> Where does Pidgin hide it's sound files? Not in .purple
[20:35] <I-I> proven.
[20:35] <I-I> defeated.
[20:35] <Guest75069> Can anyone tell me what could be going on, when I ping google.com its a unkown host but when I ping the ip I got a 96% packet loss after sending 57 packets
[20:35] <Zenith77> completenewbie: also, if you created the file while you had elevated privelages, you can't edit it with out those privelages again
[20:36] <Sam_Fisher> I need the sweet melodies of pidgin playing in my Xchat!!!!!!!!!!
[20:36] <etrask> Hello, I am having a problem with the Gnome terminal, and vi in particular. It seems the keymap is not what it should be, becasue vi is doing some funny things. The right arrow key inserts a capital C and a newline, backspace simply moves the cursor left, etc
[20:36] <h00k> !punctuation | Sam_Fisher
[20:36] <Guest75069> I also can't access local ips or ping my router
[20:36] <Sam_Fisher> Guest75069, how is your web browsing?
[20:36] <h00k> etrask: you can 'sudo apt-get install vim' to correct that :)
[20:36] <completenewbie> I installed polipo under the default account. I could not edit the file so I figured I should create an administrator account
[20:36] <Guest75069> Sam fisher can't go on any website and I don't think it'd the dns
[20:36] <etrask> h00k thank you! I cant work without vi of course
[20:37] <Costanza__> something is wrong with namoroka.. it freezes all the time
[20:37] <edbian> Guest75069, Well if you get unknown host then you need to fix your DNS.  I don't know why you're losing so many packets.
[20:37] <h00k> etrask: no problem :)
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee> salam
[20:37] <Zenith77> completenewbie: where is the file located
[20:37] <Sam_Fisher> Where does Pidgin hide it's sound files? Not in .purple
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee> linux62
[20:37] <Guest75069> Network manager also says I'm disconnected after 15 or so minutes
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee> help
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee>  for
[20:37] <h00k> !ask | nathalieeeeee
[20:37] <completenewbie> etc/polipo/config
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee>  linux62
[20:37] <ubutom_> lol Costanza_ just had to google namoroka :)
[20:38] <nathalieeeeee> hoo
[20:38] <Zenith77> completenewbie: yea you need root access or "elevated privelages" to edit files in there, I'm pretty sure
[20:38] <Zenith77> so open up terminal and do
[20:38] <completenewbie> Okay thankyou
[20:38] <Zenith77> sudo nano /etc/polipo/config
[20:38] <Pici> !enter
[20:38] <Zenith77> completenewbie: try the above
[20:38] <nathalieeeeee> ricardo
[20:38] <edbian> Zenith77, completenewbie That's right
[20:38] <completenewbie> sorry I knew about administrator rights in linux but dindt know about root so sorry about being dumb
[20:39] <edbian> completenewbie, No worries
[20:39] <Zenith77> completenewbie: it's fine. that's what everyone is here for :)
[20:39] <Costanza__> i cant use the menu in namoroka, it freezes so i cant check out profiles /
[20:39] <h00k> nathalieeeeee: Please keep comments on topic.
[20:39] <Guest75069> I'm using a ralink 2570 and using a thing specifically designed for ralink chipsets, and windows can connect just fine
[20:39] <ubutom_> Costanza__, the profile is stored in your home folder
[20:39] <h00k> Costanza__: the PPA version of firefox isn't something supported here
[20:40] <completenewbie> Just type that commant into command line right?
[20:40] <Guest75069> Should I try ndiswrapper?
[20:40] <ubutom_> Costanza__, either under Mozilla or Firefox with a . in front of the folder name, check show hidden files in gui or use ls -al to see it
[20:41] <danutz> hello I have a dns server and I set my domain to go to my nameservers... I want to know how do I do to add other domain (like an addon domain) for other website ?
[20:41] <ubutom_> Costanza__, You should make a backup copy of your profile folder and use an empty profile folder or delete it, so that firefox creates a new profile, though you will have to copy your bookmarks and stuff back
[20:42] <ubutom_> but please do a backup, before you lose your bookmarks and all other stuff Costanza__  :)
[20:42] <Costanza__> i dont have any bookmarks.. just the default firefox bookmakrs..
[20:43] <ubutom_> Costanza__, then it's okay, just delete the folder and it will create a new one, if it's the profile that prevents it from starting, this should do the trick
[20:43] <etrask> worked out perfectly for me, h00k. Thaks a bunch!
[20:43] <happyface> anyone here use finch?
[20:44] <Hubert_> czesc
[20:44] <totonka> suggestion on a com prg for webcam hp101
[20:44] <Costanza__> i dont see the folder :/
[20:45] <Hubert_> hey
[20:45] <Costanza__> wait i see a folder mozilla
[20:45] <Guest75069> This is a little offtopic but can I use mineral spirits to cool electronics if I submerge them?
[20:45] <h00k> Guest75069: you may want to consult ##hardware
[20:45] <Guest75069> Alright
[20:45] <Costanza__> i will try now.. thanks.. brb
[20:45] <coz_> Guest75069,  I wouldnt try it
[20:47] <no-name_> I can't change the permissions for these files on my usb drive. I can change them if i copy them to my hard drive but when i copy them back they go back to "Allow executing this file as a program"
[20:47] <vlt> Hello. How to enable ecryptfs for a user I added later (after installing)?
[20:47] <no-name_> I can't remember if its FAT or NTFS
[20:48] <kjele> no-name_: what fs you use on the usb drive?
[20:48] <edbian> no-name_, look using sudo fdisk -l
[20:48] <no-name_> ok
[20:49] <no-name_> FAT16
[20:49] <kjele> no-name_: FAT does not have permissions. Writing to NTFS is a bit more complicated.
[20:49] <Sam_Fisher> where does Pidgin store it's sound files?
[20:50] <haavard> hello
[20:50] <no-name_> kjele,  what do you mean by more complicated?
[20:50] <happyface> Sam_Fisher: ~/.purple
[20:50] <Pupeno> !flash
[20:50] <happyface> Sam_Fisher: it's not pidgin - but liburple which pidgin is based on
[20:50] <Nucleus> ..
[20:51] <RobH> Does anyone happen to know the irc channel best for getting help with running UEC?
[20:51] <Pici> RobH: #ubuntu-server
[20:51] <RobH> Pici: much thanks
[20:51] <kjele> no-name_: The fs is not open and MS has a lot of hidden api.
[20:51] <leandroal> when I plug usb devices I get "device descriptor read/64, error -71, device not accepting address XX, error -71". Can this be a hardware problem? if not, what is causing it?
[20:52] <leandroal> part of my dmesg is here: http://pastebin.com/VRv4ivPb
[20:52] <leandroal> lspci: http://pastebin.com/fnYG7V2f
[20:53] <leandroal> dmesg and usb stuff: dmesg and usb hubs: http://pastebin.com/phvUiWh0
[20:53] <leandroal> any clue?
[20:53] <the_real_dave> Anyone know the location of the Xorg.conf thats autocreated in Ubuntu 9.10?
[20:53] <Sam_Fisher> the_real_dave, yes
[20:53] <no-name_> kjele, Application Programming Interface?
[20:53] <the_real_dave> @Sam_Fisher Mind sharing?
[20:54] <haavard> you are blue
[20:54] <kjele> no-name_: yes.
[20:54] <Sam_Fisher> OK you people. I help 1000's of people every day and you can't tell me one simple thing? Where are the sound files hiding in Pidgin?
[20:54] <no-name_> kjele, so does NTFS allow permissions?
[20:54] <h00k> !patience | Sam_Fisher
[20:54] <edbian> Sam_Fisher, Don't get upset.  I don't know!
[20:55] <kjele> no-name_: It does
[20:55] <xangua> Sam_Fisher: /usr/share/purple maybe
[20:55] <edbian> Sam_Fisher, Google says this: http://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2007-June/001409.html
[20:55] <no-name_> cool. i would just make it ext2 but i use linux and windows
[20:55] <no-name_> thanks kjele
[20:55] <Sam_Fisher> the_real_dave, Oh sure. Go to your FILE SYSTEM folder then ETC folder then X11
[20:56] <kjele> no-name_: Best to keep it as fat and then chmod if you need to
[20:56] <Sam_Fisher> edbian, I think you do! I think this a conspiracy to keep me from hearing those soft sounds chirping in my head. I have Tinitus so cut me some slack man!
[20:56] <the_real_dave> @Sam_Fisher Where from there? There's no Xorg.conf in 9.10. It's autocreated at each boot. But I want to see what the autocreated one looks like
[20:56] <siddhion> how do i make port 80 unblocked so my browsers have access to a healthy connection?
[20:57] <no-name_> kjele: how do i remove executable with chmod?
[20:57] <no-name_> its just the arguement i don't know
[20:57] <sgs1990> no-name,, put the file you want afther that
[20:57] <siddhion> currently in Xubuntu 10.04 all my browsers are running extremely slow. all browsers, not jsut Firefox.
[20:57] <Sam_Fisher> the_real_dave, Well then I would sudo gedit xorg-config
[20:57] <no-name_> there needs to be something in between chmod and 'file'
[20:58] <kjele> !chmod | no-name_
[20:58] <Sam_Fisher> the_real_dave, that should open it up in an editor
[20:58] <sgs1990> no-name,, not if you put the file in your personal file
[20:58] <no-name_> :)
[20:58] <siddhion> i heard that port 80 is where all the browsers go through, so I figure I should focus on that issue.
[20:58] <sgs1990> if you got it indownloads, you put download/ in between
[20:58] <siddhion> i am wondering if it is just a bug i might have in Xubuntu 10.04
[20:59] <Xcell> clear
[20:59] <Xcell> exit
[20:59] <kjele> no-name_: Even if you remove executable you can still execute the file.
[20:59] <DeliriumTremens> What does it mean if I'm in the terminal and suddenly I get the message "The system is going down for halt NOW!"
[20:59] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, I think you need to reset network settings. In Windows I use a bat file that does it for me. Someone here should know how to do it.
[20:59] <DeliriumTremens> When I haven't done anything
[21:00] <Brian_H> I'm trying to find a way using a kickstart file to encrypt the / volume, I've searched and haven't had any luck, can someone tell me how I would specify encrypted / with a password in a kickstart file?
[21:00] <maco> DeliriumTremens: means its shutting down...
[21:00] <Sam_Fisher> DeliriumTremens, DT's hahaha
[21:00] <h00k> DeliriumTremens: that means someone on the machine decided to shut down or restart the server
[21:00] <maco> DeliriumTremens: someone else logged in and ran "sudo halt" or "sudo shutdown -h now"
[21:00] <Sam_Fisher> the_real_dave, so how did i do?
[21:00] <DeliriumTremens> i was the only one on there
[21:00] <the_real_dave> @Sam_Fisher found those sounds /usr/share/sounds/purple
[21:00] <Alphanaut> anyone here have any experience with kvpnc?  connecting to an openvpn server with an ubuntu client?
[21:00] <siddhion> Sam_Fisher: so are you saying my Network Settings were screwed up to begin with? because I just installed Xubuntu 10.04 2 days ago.
[21:00] <Sam_Fisher> DeliriumTremens, How long has it sat there unsued?
[21:00] <DeliriumTremens> less than a day
[21:01] <siddhion> Sam_Fisher: I have dealt with this issue since the beginning
[21:01] <Sam_Fisher> the_real_dave, no way thanks! I appreciate your help
[21:01] <DeliriumTremens> actually, about 20 minutes before hand I attemted to sudo apt-get update
[21:01] <DeliriumTremens> and it didn't end up updating, kicking me back to terminal
[21:02] <the_real_dave> @Sam_Fisher anytime
[21:02] <DeliriumTremens> then it shut down
[21:02] <cjarrett> I'm trying to prevent the nouveau module from loading automatically, I've tried adding to blacklist.conf, but still auto starts
[21:02] <cjarrett> does anyone have any other idea on a way to prevent nouveau from auto loading?
[21:02] <Sam_Fisher> the_real_dave, did it open your xorg file?
[21:02] <ubutom_> iceroot, just did a successful test with getfacl and setfacl, nice to know! :)
[21:03] <the_real_dave> @Sam_Fisher nope, a blank file
[21:03] <ubutom_> iceroot, created a folder and subfolders and a textfile in the folder, saved permissions and restored them, neat
[21:03] <the_real_dave> @Sam_Fisher I havn't written a xorg.conf, I'm just trying to find the location of the autocreated one
[21:03] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, have you unplugged router and other stuff for 30 seconds and restarted Ubuntu while unplugged?
[21:04] <ubutom_> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:04] <[zaf]-Coral> Thanks FloodBot :P
[21:04] <Costanza> it did not work.. i restarted pc after deleting the mozilla folder.. and firefox 3.8 created new folder with profiles but it wont start
[21:05] <[zaf]-Coral> Howzit guys
[21:05] <guntbert> the_real_dave: to my knowledge there isn't one on disk
[21:05] <ubutom_> hm, Costanza , any reason you are using a beta version?
[21:05] <siddhion> Sam_Fisher: well I restarted Xubuntu today a few times. what difference does it make if i unplug the Ethernet cable and turn off the router?
[21:05] <Sam_Fisher> [zaf]-Coral, We fine thanks
[21:05] <Costanza> i want webm / vp8 support
[21:05] <pmy> join #linuxjournal
[21:05] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, are you kidding?
[21:05] <Alphanaut> anyone here have any experience with kvpnc?  connecting to an openvpn server with an ubuntu client?
[21:05] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, have you heard of night?
[21:05] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion,  have you heard of day?
[21:06] <Juanca> hi... somebody unplugged my computer and now I can't enter ubuntu, it seems to be starting and the login screen appears, but after that it loads the background image and freezes. I've tried to enter in error proof mode but it ends with an underscore blinking
[21:06] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, seriously do that and you will be fine
[21:06] <ubutom_> Costanza, might be unstable yet *shrug*
[21:06] <Sam_Fisher> Juanca, when loading hit the shift key
[21:06] <[zaf]-Coral> Wondering sumthing, I understand that php 4 4.2 is not supported any more, however I have no other choice due to the way sessions were made back then, so I was wondering if anybody could direct me to a repo with it :?
[21:06] <Costanza> in windows it works fine..
[21:07] <ubutom_> Costanza, yeah, but that's another platform
[21:07] <Sam_Fisher> Costanza, why you want to be bleeding edge?
[21:07] <dartt> what is the best font for ubuntu...the defualt font is kinda too big
[21:07] <the_real_dave> @guntbert No, it's not permanant by default, but it's gotta be there somewhere >.<
[21:08] <thfechter> 9 points
[21:08] <guntbert> the_real_dave: maybe in memory?
[21:08] <siddhion> Sam_Fisher: but listen, all my other Internet connection dependent apps like Xchat, Transmission and Update Manager run at a healthy connection speed. It is just my browsers that are slow as sin.  Does this fact change my problem in your  eyes? Do you still think unplugging and shutting router down for 30 s is gonna help?
[21:08] <the_real_dave> @guntbert yes, but where? :(
[21:08] <SDuensin> In the new 10.04 series, how can I change the color of the toolbar to NOT match the window's title bar?
[21:08] <Costanza> i need webm support thats why i need it.. i would not use if i could make it out with the stable firefox
[21:09] <dartt> can nyone suggest a gud desktop font for ubuntu 10.04
[21:09] <Costanza> it seems the whole system is buggy.. for some reason.. it hangs all the time
[21:09] <ubutom_> siddhion, maybe something in your router is slowing down http traffic
[21:10] <hspaans> Costanza: webm was added to gstreamer after ubuntu 10.04 was released
[21:10] <the_real_dave> @dartt Have a look at the Screenshots thread on Ubuntu Forums for ideas
[21:10] <guntbert> the_real_dave: nowhere in the file system as far as I can see
[21:10] <hspaans> dartt: first turn on hinting for fonts
[21:10] <dartt> how to do that?
[21:10] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, when I want to check if any internet exists I run Pidgin or the like. It's so small a load that it will run when nothign else will. So you would have to type faster then a Ninja on crack to load Xchat.
[21:11] <siddhion> ubutom_ what do you mean? like a physical hardware issue?
[21:11] <dennis> hi everybody, i'm writing you from xchat, i just want to know how can i do to see the list of the people in the irc's chatroom, 'cause i ain't see anything except for the list of the channel connected in the left of xchat, so, how can i do that?? thaaanks
[21:11] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, I believe the fix is a forced reset
[21:11] <edbian> dennis, view -> user list
[21:11] <wappissima> irc.irc-hispano.org
[21:11] <Colloguy> on a filesystem that supports creation dates, is there a shell command to display them?
[21:11] <dartt> hspaans: how to do that
[21:12] <hspaans> dartt: see the appearance window
[21:12] <siddhion> Sam_Fisher: should I download Pidgin? and test that out?
[21:12] <ubutom_> siddhion, well, some routers have a range of ips for example that are allowed to use certain services, taking a look could be worthwhile
[21:12] <abysimo> Hello need some help with virtualbox , the letters inside vb turned into symbols
[21:12] <the_real_dave> @guntbert Hmmm, cheers. I'll keep looking :)
[21:12] <dennis> edbian, that option is already flagged, but nothing appear even if i push ctrl +7
[21:12] <ubutom_> siddhion, I can block or restrict web access in mine for example, or set a time when what service can be used and so on
[21:12] <Juanca> hi... somebody unplugged my computer and now I can't enter ubuntu, it seems to be starting and the login screen appears, but after that it loads the background image and freezes. I've tried to enter in error proof mode but it ends with an underscore blinking
[21:12] <dartt> hspaans: should i turn it on to full? what is hinting?
[21:13] <guntbert> the_real_dave: you can try sudo find / -iname "xorg*"  (don't omit the ")
[21:13] <dartt> hspaans: currently it is marked: slight
[21:13] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, No I was just saying that chat programs have no load on network compared to web browsers. Pictures and videos versus text.
[21:13] <the_real_dave> @guntbert will do
[21:13] <edbian> dennis, Not sure what control 7 is supposed to do.  All the way at the right.  Is there a thing you can click and drag to the left (not a scroll bar, not resizing the window, a third grey bar that is probably blended in with the scroll bar) ?
[21:13] <Sam_Fisher> Juanca, asked and answered!
[21:14] <dartt> can nyone explain what is font hinting?
[21:14] <hspaans> dartt: font hinting is subpixel rendering
[21:14] <nadn> lucid... very nice... however ati driver installation problem.  resolved part now left when i do aticonfig --initial "  Unable to find any supported Screen sections"
[21:14] <Sam_Fisher> dartt, I'll give you a hint. It has to do with spacing
[21:14] <Sam_Fisher> dartt, hahaha
[21:14] <siddhion> Sam_Fisher: good point. I should also mention that Google and Gmail load fine in Firefox and Chrome. But other sites like blogs and Twitter will not load at all
[21:14] <Chemo> hi@all, i have a little question about XChat-IRC-Client. is it possible to let xcaht beep or something like that, when message in special channels are sent
[21:14] <dartt> hspaans: should i turn it on to full? it is currently marked slight
[21:14] <Chemo> ?
[21:15] <jhfoidshfs> hi
[21:15] <Chemo> XChat is just so quiet - no signal, when highlighted word appear
[21:15] <guntbert> dartt: have a look at system/preferences/appearance  fonts tab, the last choice under rendering
[21:15] <hspaans> dartt: just try
[21:15] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, do you ave Java installed? Are you loaded down with plugins? I have about 12!
[21:15] <siddhion> Sam_Fisher: I just do not know why Google, Gmail and other basic text sites will load, but high traffic blogs and other web apps will not load.
[21:15] <Chemo> no sgnals when someohne answers me aso.
[21:15] <dartt> hspaans: ok
[21:15] <ljyanes> hi all
[21:15] <guntbert> Sam_Fisher: when helping stay helpful please
[21:15] <mneptok> siddhion: how do your dual-boot installation go?
[21:16] <mneptok> *did
[21:16] <Sam_Fisher> guntbert, so no humor allowed?
[21:16] <siddhion> Sam_Fisher: Twitter does not depend on Java so that is probably a non issue, wouldnt you agree?
[21:16] <ljyanes> guys im trying to make my ubuntu load faster... on the dmesg i can see its taking about 20s on this steps [    7.457756] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk [   24.852003] udev: starting version 151
[21:16] <Sam_Fisher> siddhion, I was just asking because java problems seem to hanf FF
[21:16] <siddhion> mneptok: I actually did a install over XP...I ran into more issues and just decided to hell with it. I do not really need XP anyways.
[21:16] <ljyanes> what can I do to remove that from my booting time?
[21:17] <guntbert> Sam_Fisher: not everybody gets your kind of humor - so please don't
[21:17] <olejo> .
[21:17] <mneptok> siddhion: :)
[21:17] <vlt> Hello. How to enable ecryptfs for a user I added after installing?
[21:17] <siddhion> mneptok: now I am faced with Browser problems, sloow speeds
[21:17] <Sam_Fisher> so there you have it. No humor allowed only nerd talk.
[21:17] <mneptok> siddhion: if you're using 10.04, it should include Gwibber for Twitter
[21:17] <dartt> hspaans: the font gets thinner when i click on full hinting
[21:17] <mneptok> siddhion: what browser?
[21:17] <siddhion> Sam_Fisher: just to be safe, how would I check to see if I have Java installed?
[21:17] <dennis> edbian, sorry the default command was ctrl + f7, i've forgot an F... thanks, you really make me feel an idiot! The window was maximized so i was unable to see the list!! Now i can see that! Thanks you're really great proportionally to my idiocy... :)
[21:17] <hspaans> dartt: that is correct
[21:18] <siddhion> mneptok: both Chrome and Firefox...extermely slow for high traffic blogs and sites like Twitter. Google and Gmail load fine.
[21:18] <ne7work> !flash
[21:18] <ljyanes> siddhion, could it be by making a java --version on the shell?
[21:18] <edbian> dennis, Ha.  Glad I could help! :)
[21:18] <mneptok> siddhion: it could be that the sites themslves are slow.
[21:18] <dartt> hspaans: ok i wil keep it to slight
[21:18] <coolmadmax> Chemo Settings - Preferences
[21:19] <ljyanes> siddhion, It could be your connection also
[21:19] <mneptok> siddhion: if the problem manifests itself on multiple browsers, it's unlikely (though possible) that an issue local to your machine is to blame.
[21:19] <hspaans> dartt: then you will be missing subpixel rendering, but that is your choice
[21:19] <siddhion> mneptok: no, I know this because my other laptop laods Twitter very fast.
[21:19] <Alphanaut> anyone here have any experience with kvpnc?  connecting to an openvpn server with an ubuntu client?
[21:19] <ljyanes> siddhion, its a problem with your internet configuration maybe?
[21:20] <dartt> hspaans: so the best chice would be fuul according to u?
[21:20] <siddhion> ljyanes: both my Vista computer and my Xubuntu 10.04 are connected to the same router.
[21:20] <dartt> hspaans: *full
[21:20] <N-JOY> hi
[21:20] <jinny> i can't convert html to pdf.
[21:20] <coolmadmax> Chemo Settings - Preferences-Chatting- Alerts
[21:20] <siddhion> ljyanes: in Xubuntu?
[21:20] <ljyanes> siddhion, but are they configured to connect the same way?
[21:20] <hspaans> dartt: the reason it is not turned on by default are patents from Apple. but it is wise to go for full
[21:21] <dartt> ok
[21:21] <QuantumDragon> I recently set up a Ubuntu 10.04 server and installed the GUI using "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" when I meant to use "sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop" Is there quick easy way i can remove all those extra packages, or should i just reinstall?
[21:21] <siddhion> ljyanes: well I assume so, because they both behave the same way.
[21:21] <ljyanes> siddhion, maybe u have some wierd configuration files or proxy/firewall that's slowing you down on the Xubuntu
[21:21] <mneptok> siddhion: ye gods. the param= for the Twitter cookie is unbelievable.
[21:21] <N-JOY> hi
[21:22] <siddhion> ljyanes: that is what I am thinking...today I found out that all browsers use port 80 to connect to the net. maybe something with port 80 is causing the problem
[21:22] <Lucenut> I'm a newb to Ubuntu. Trying to get accustomed to things.
[21:22] <mneptok> ljyanes: i find that unlikely, if other sites do not have issues
[21:22] <N-JOY> got a problem with pulseaudio and skype
[21:22] <ljyanes> mneptok, true
[21:22] <Lucenut> Running Ubuntu in Virtualbox on Windows7 Ultimate x64.
[21:22] <N-JOY> any idea?
[21:22] <pmy> wipe windows, youll thank me later
[21:22] <resno> i cant get my pcspkr to stay on. i do modprobe and it returns but then shortly afterwards it disappears
[21:22] <guntbert> vlt: http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7568/1.html has a complete tutorial on ecryptfs
[21:22] <dartt> hspaans: thnx xD....is there anything else i can do to fonts?
[21:23] <hspaans> dartt: is most cases people settle with the Sans fontset, but it is what you like
[21:23] <N-JOY> buuntu 10 x64
[21:23] <Lucenut> I don't know where to start in connecting to the windows file system from the Virtualbox Ubuntu.
[21:23] <mneptok> siddhion: open a terminal and use w3m to load Twitter. look at the massive number of cookie params that have to be loaded for that site.
[21:23] <ljyanes> mneptok, yet he has the same problem on both Windows and Linux... so that makes me thing about something between his PC and the sites in question}
[21:23] <Juanca>  hi... somebody unplugged my computer and now I can't enter ubuntu, it seems to be starting and the login screen appears, but after that it loads the background image and freezes. I've tried to enter in error proof mode but it ends with an underscore blinking
[21:23] <guntbert> !enter | Lucenut
[21:23] <dartt> hspaans: i dwnloaded maverick font which is a beta...the font in ubuntu's logo
[21:23] <siddhion> ljyanes: no, my Vista machine is loading Twitter fast. normal speed.
[21:23] <Lucenut> !enter
[21:24] <Lucenut> What does that mean?
[21:24] <guntbert> Lucenut: please ask in #vbox - you need to install the guest additions and then enable "shared folders"
[21:24] <hspaans> dartt: you can select another font is the appearance window
[21:24] <ubutom_> siddhion, using dhcp?
[21:24] <siddhion> mneptok: blogs are also loading very slow
[21:24] <dartt> hspaans: k i try
[21:24] <siddhion> ubutom_ i do not know. how to i find out?
[21:24] <sp3zticle> where do i set wlan0's auto connect informationo (configuration static not dhcp)
[21:24] <ubutom_> siddhion, have you set your ip or did the pc acquire it?
[21:24] <Konstantin> in ubuntu 10.04 what do i use to manage which packages startup at boot?  I used to use chkconfig in 8.04.....
[21:25] <siddhion> ubutom_ ithe PC acquired it
[21:25] <Alphanaut> hmm does ubuntu have an active firewall that i cant find?
[21:25] <edbian> Alphanaut, ufw
[21:25] <Alphanaut> i'm not able to connect to my uvnc server on my lan
[21:25] <Alphanaut> from ubuntu, but i can from windows
[21:25] <ubutom_> siddhion, try setting it manually and using the nameserver of your isp instead of the router
[21:25] <Alphanaut> same ip, same port #
[21:25] <edbian> Alphanaut, But it's not on by default
[21:25] <nadan> so.  my old installation is encrypted.  i mount it in my new one.  how do i decrypt that folder?
[21:25] <Alphanaut> rr
[21:25] <hspaans> Alphanaut: search for UFW
[21:25] <ljyanes> hi guys how can i make my ubuntu load faster?
[21:25] <Alphanaut> er, rgr
[21:26] <edbian> Alphanaut, can you ping it?
[21:26] <guntbert> Konstantin: look at system/preferences/startup applications
[21:26] <vlt> guntbert: Thank you.
[21:26] <edbian> Alphanaut, Fron linux?
[21:26] <Alphanaut> hmm good question 1 sec
[21:26] <ljyanes> i can see its taking a lot of time when loading SCSI drives...
[21:26] <ljyanes> what can I do about it?
[21:26] <Konstantin> guntbert: how about from commandline?
[21:26] <Alphanaut> ok that's odd, cant ping it
[21:26] <Alphanaut> but i can browse the shares on it
[21:26] <guntbert> vlt: you're welcome :-)
[21:26] <edbian> Alphanaut, Not that it really matters but what is a uvnc server?
[21:26] <siddhion> ubutom_ since I am new to this, how would i go about doing that?
[21:26] <Alphanaut> remote desktop software, ultravnc
[21:26] <ubutom_> siddhion, can be done via network manager
[21:26] <Alphanaut> why cant i ping it if i can browse it
[21:26] <Alphanaut> odd
[21:27] <guntbert> Konstantin: no idea, but maybe the server guide has an answer for you
[21:27] <Alphanaut> i mean i'm connected to my lan rigth now
[21:27] <Alphanaut> er, right
[21:27] <guntbert> !serverguide | Konstantin
[21:27] <edbian> Alphanaut, There's the first problem.  What is your IP address, what is the server's IP?
[21:27] <Konstantin> guntbert: thanks!
[21:27] <guntbert> Konstantin: Good luck :-)
[21:27] <siddhion> ubutom_ i can not find Network Manager. all i see VPN Connections in the top right bar
[21:28] <Alphanaut> mine 192.168.1.3, server 192.168.1.101
[21:28] <ubutom_> to find out your current ip use ifconfig and set the settings according to that output manually, except that you use the dns server your isp offers, this should be viewable in your router's settings
[21:28] <Alphanaut> same netmask
[21:28] <ubutom_> oh,ok, sorry siddhion , forgot that you use xubuntu
[21:28] <edbian> Alphanaut, Is the server unresponsive?
[21:28] <Alphanaut> hmm
[21:28] <siddhion> ubutom_ yes Xubuntu
[21:29] <edbian> Alphanaut, I don't really understand how uvnc works.  Do you have client software or is it web based or something?  How do you connecT?
[21:29] <Alphanaut> not web based, server softare on sever, client software on client
[21:29] <dartt> hspaans: thnx i selected android sans wid full hinting
[21:29] <Alphanaut> remote desktop viewer which is in my ubuntu by default is able to connect via vnc
[21:29] <monokrome> Anyone know how I can get Ubuntu Server from a specific mirror?
[21:29] <hspaans> dartt: ack
[21:29] <Alphanaut> i dont get how i can browse the server shares but not ping the IP
[21:29] <Alphanaut> i dont get how i can browse the server shares but not ping the IP
[21:29] <monokrome> I am getting insanely slow download speeds from the default.
[21:30] <ubutom_> siddhion, am myelf not that fit anymore with the config files for manual inet-setup, but might be worth a try
[21:30] <ubutom_> !ifconfig
[21:30] <Alphanaut> and i can ping my NAS no problem
[21:30] <Alphanaut> and my print server
[21:30] <edbian> Alphanaut, I don't get how that has a central server?  The way I've always seen it is that you vnc from a client (using client software) into a server (which has the server software) and you can only VNC to vnc servers.  What does a primary server do?
[21:30] <siddhion> ubutom_ not sure what you are trying to say
[21:31] <ubutom_> someone here please guide siddhion in configuring his network manually :)
[21:31] <monokrome> Never mind. I went directly to my preferred mirror's website.
[21:31] <edbian> Alphanaut, Well, the problem is clear.  Can another computer ping that server?
[21:31] <siddhion> ubutom_ i got to a window that says "Network Connections"
[21:31] <ubutom_> good siddhion
[21:32] <siddhion> ubutom_ maybe this is the place. I see WIRED, WIRELESS MOBILEBROADBAND VPN DSL
[21:32] <ubutom_> siddhion, do an ifconfig to see your current ip setting
[21:32] <ubutom_> yeah, must be wired then siddhion
[21:32] <siddhion> ubutom_ should i open up Terminal and type in "ifconfig"?     yes i am wired (Ethernet)
[21:32] <ubutom_> there should soewhere stand auto or dhcp
[21:33] <Alphanaut> if i owned a 3rd computer i guess i could check :)
[21:33] <ubutom_> yes siddhion, so you can find out your current ip address, and the other things you need to put in manually afterwards
[21:33] <Alphanaut> sorry, my computer at home, my "server", is running the uvnc service
[21:33] <Alphanaut> so it's a uvnc server
[21:34] <ubutom_> if it doesn't work, you can always revert it back to dhcp
[21:34] <edbian> Alphanaut, so it can or can't ping the server?
[21:35] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok so all I am able to do is edit "Auto eth0" which is the only item located under the Wired section.
[21:35] <ubutom_> siddhion, yep, do that
[21:36] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok so I am in the "Editting Auto eth0" window. Connect Automatically is checked off. below there are 4 tabs: WIRED, 802.1x Security, IPv4 Settings and IPv6 Settings. What shall I do now?
[21:36] <ubutom_> siddhion, search for the official dns server of your isp, or take it from your router and then add the isp dns-server to the ip of your router which is probably set now as your only dns-server
[21:37] <ary> Is it possible to use tcp_outgoin_address with a dstdomain ACL in squid?
[21:37] <ubutom_> siddhion, go to ipv6 settings
[21:37] <cjarrett> can someone help me disable the nouveau module from loading automatically? I've added it to my blacklist.conf, but it still loads
[21:37] <kjele> ubutom_: he use ipv6?
[21:38] <siddhion> ubutom_ yes i am there. I see: Method: Ignore (is selected) .... everything else is grayed out
[21:38] <ubutom_> kjele, i think it's the default now
[21:38] <ubutom_> oh, okayyy...
[21:38] <Alphanaut> nope, i cant ping the server from ubuntu on the same lan
[21:38] <kjele> ubutom_: many still use ipv4
[21:38] <Alphanaut> but i can browse the shares on it
[21:38] <ubutom_> then go to ipv4 siddhion
[21:38] <Alphanaut> what format does an installer that i import into the synaptic package manager need to be in?
[21:38] <ubutom_> yeah kjele that's right
[21:39] <ubutom_> most router's dont support it yet, no need in a lan anyway
[21:39] <antivirtel> hello all, I think chromium ist too good for me, but, what is the repo for google-chrome-dev ? who knows ?
[21:40] <ubutom_> siddhion, do you see several fields for ip, subnetmask and so on?
[21:40] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok I am there. 1st item is: Method: Automatic (DCHP) os selected
[21:40] <ubutom_> siddhion, have you got your internal ip from ifconfig yet?
[21:40] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok I am there. 1st item is: Method: Automatic (DCHP) is selected. I see a text field to enter DCHP client ID and a Routes button below.
[21:41] <ubutom_> ah,ok, maybe you need to go to the wired tab then, either way, you can disable dhcp for now
[21:41] <siddhion> ubutom_ I see a few items grayed out.
[21:42] <ubutom_> siddhion, and they are?
[21:42] <kjele> siddhion: on ipv4 tap under method change to manual
[21:43] <ubutom_> siddhion, kjele got it right, just fired up the network wizard myself, seems to be similar in lubuntu
[21:43] <ljyanes> is there anyway i can make udev go faster?
[21:43] <ljyanes> its causing me a slow boot
[21:44] <siddhion> ubutom_ kjele I have changed it to Manual and now the grayed out items are active. they are: Addresses. I see "Add" and "delete" buttons. I see an empty tablw with "Address" , "Netmask" and "Gateway". Below the tabel I see "DNS servers" with a text field next to it and "Search Domains" with a text field next to it.
[21:45] <ubutom_> siddhion, fine, now click add and type in the address ifconfig gave you
[21:45] <Matterco> I need a little help with a OS X 10.6 to Ubuntu 10.04 Samba share. I can connect to the share from my OS X machine successfully. I can even create a new folder on the share (/var/www) but when I try to drag and drop a file from my desktop to the share I get a insufficient permission error.
[21:45] <stuck1> hi, when I boot up my system, I keep getting a repeating glib error and cannot boot into my login screen,also my keyboard isn't responsive. any suggestions? thanks.
[21:45] <ubutom_> siddhion, e.g. 192.168.0.8
[21:45] <ronnie_vd_c> i have a problem with slow starting gnome-panel, when logging in with my yubikey. But the panel starts quickly when logging in with normal password
[21:45] <ubutom_> then the according netmask, which is usually 255.255.255.0
[21:45] <YoJack> what is the svn room ?
[21:46] <ronnie_vd_c> someone got an idea what is the relation between the panel and yubiauth?
[21:46] <ubutom_> and as gateway the ip of your router
[21:46] <siddhion> ubutom_ sorry but I still am not clear on how to ascertain the address from ifconfig
[21:46] <greg16504> should I be able to copy all the files from a DVD (commercial movie) to a folder on my desktop?
[21:46] <greg16504> If it fails to read, does that mean the drive is bad?
[21:46] <ubutom_> siddhion, you got a text there with eth0
[21:47] <ubutom_> there you see your current ip, which is the inet address
[21:47] <Ritchie_1> hello
[21:47] <siddhion> ubutom_ what do you mean?
[21:47] <thebruce> anyone having issues with gtalk in pidgin?
[21:47] <kjele> greg16504: look into dd
[21:47] <greg16504> Kjele: ?
[21:47] <ubutom_> siddhion, did you type ifconfig in a terminal and read it's output?
[21:47] <kjele> !dd | greg16504
[21:48] <Ritchie_1> could somebody help me with driver problems? I have a wifi card, which worked fine with older kernels, but with the newer ones, it won't get recognised..
[21:48] <greg16504> I don't udnerstand "dd"
[21:48] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok thanks.
[21:48] <ubutom_> siddhion, that stuff is needed in the graphical frontend

[21:50] <AWOHengst> Hey folks, I'm pretty new to Ubuntu/Linux. Can someone tell me how to make smb LAN connections to windows shares "permanent"? Something like "booting my Ubuntu and my share "n" on my windows box is already connected...thanx!
[21:50] <kjele> greg16504: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) might be more friendlier
[21:50] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok I see a few numbers "inet addr" , "Bcast" and "Mask"
[21:51] <greg16504> thank you!  and I am running a test with a different system.  I think I have a bad dvd drive.  It seems to work ok for CDs but fails to read the entirety of DVDs
[21:51] <kjele> !pastebin | siddhion
[21:52] <ubutom_> siddhion, you can put the inet addr in the address field
[21:52] <ubutom_> siddhion, mask in netmask field
[21:52] <greg16504> I don't even know how to read the channel topic.
[21:53] <siddhion> kjele: i did not want to paste it all because isnt that sensative information?
[21:53] <greg16504> but learning as much and as often as I can
[21:53] <ubutom_> siddhion, and as gateway your router's ip
[21:53] <greg16504> thank you all.
[21:53] <kjele> siddhion: a whois command to you do reveal too
[21:53] <cprxmm7> Is there more than one xorg.conf file by default? I am trying to force 1680x1050 but the added option does not show up in Ubuntu's settings
[21:54] <xxpor> has there been issues with nforce 4 and usb hubs on the mobo crashing
[21:55] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok which one is my router's IP?
[21:55] <siddhion> kjele: really?
[21:55] <ubutom_> siddhion, in dns server field use your routers ip and the external dns-server of your isp, if the router fails maybe the other dns will work
[21:55] <cannonball> Hi all, I'm having trouble finding the package for 10.04 that has mimencode in it.  In prior versions it has been the 'metamail' package.  Could I get a pointer as to the best way(s) to search for it?  Google has been little help so far other than getting me a man page from the manpages.ubuntu.com site.

[21:57] <siddhion> kjele: is that safe ???
[21:57] <ubutom_> the dns entry there should be your router
[21:57] <siddhion> ubutom_ so I just type that into terminal?
[21:57] <cprxmm7> I have plugged a 21" LCD into my laptop. How can I access 1680x1050 in my settings?
[21:57] <ubutom_> yeah siddhion
[21:57] <papertigers> hey does anyone know how to check for a write hole in mdadm for raid 5/6 , also I heard ext4 prevents the write hole, but not sure if thats true
[21:57] <shadows090> I have a wireless access point that supposedly defaults to an IP address of 192.168.10.100. I am unable to ping it in either xp or ubuntu, and I believe it's something to do with the subnet. Does anybody know how I can ping it?
[21:57] <ubutom_> will give you the address of your router
[21:58] <kjele> siddhion: nothing is safe it is all about trust
[21:58] <ubutom_> or the isps address
[21:58] <hspaans> papertigers: that hole is inherent to raid5/6
[21:58] <Konstantin> how do i change the baud rate on a ttyS0 or any tty??
[21:58] <siddhion> ubutom: ok so i have to type "sudo" before right? because it said "No such file or directory"
[21:58] <ubutom_> siddhion, in my case my router got the ip 192.168.2.1
[21:59] <mastercactapus> how would one daemonize a script at startup (goes through and endless loop for monitoring/logging things)?
[22:00] <papertigers> hspaans: anyway to check for it
[22:00] <ubutom_> siddhion, what did it give you?
[22:00] <ubutom_> nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[22:00] <shadows090> If i'm on an internal ip address of 192.168.1.x, is it possible to ping something that's on 192.168.10.x?
[22:01] <hspaans> papertigers: search for bonnie, but it is a design issue. go for a solution based on COW like ZFS or Btrfs
[22:01] <eniac> I've removed gdm. And wanted to login from a tty and then use startx. This fails when adding any wm but gnome-session. Giving me a ddxsiggiveup error. Any clues?
[22:02] <siddhion> ubutom_ it gave me "bash: cat/etc/resolve.conf: No such file or directory"
[22:02] <ubutom_> dunno shadows090 , my wlan-machines use 192.168.2.x
[22:02] <papertigers> hspaans: i am using zfs now but I want to try and stick to linux and btrfs isnt ready and lacks raid 5
[22:02] <kjele> siddhion: space
[22:02] <Merkwerdichliebe> Hi
[22:03] <ubutom_> shadows090, but it is connected with the lan interface with my other router that uses 192.168.0.x, i can ping everything in my lan
[22:03] <Merkwerdichliebe> I have a query regarding installing Ubuntu.
[22:03] <acerimmer_> !ask|merkwerdichliebe
[22:03] <Merkwerdichliebe> Can I just shout here or do I need to go somewhere specific?
[22:03] <ubutom_> siddhion, cat /etc/resolv.conf
[22:03] <Merkwerdichliebe> Ok
[22:03] <Ritchie_1> nobody familiar with driver issues?
[22:03] <ubutom_> siddhion, with the space between cat and /
[22:03] <shadows090> thanks ubutom
[22:04] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok great. thanks
[22:04] <ubutom_> shadows090, I gave my wireless router an address in the other subnet on it's lan interface
[22:04] <Merkwerdichliebe> Here's the case: I have a laptop which doesn't boot from USB neither has a working CD drive, so I plugged the laptop HDD in an old P3 computer and boot the alternative Ubuntu CD there and install it to the laptop drive, after that I put back the HDD in the laptop but all I got was a blinking underscore..
[22:04] <hspaans> papertigers: like I said, bonnie. But you will have a write hole due to the design and implementation
[22:04] <Merkwerdichliebe> Question is, is this method possible? If so what am I doing wrong? am I forgetting something?
[22:05] <Merkwerdichliebe> Thanks for your time..
[22:05] <shadows090> thanks. I bought a wireless ap and it supposedly defaults to 192.168.10.100, i can't find a way to connect to it through a browser or ping. any ideas?
[22:05] <ubutom_> siddhion, so what does it say?
[22:05] <shadows090> i'm on 192.168.1.x
[22:05] <siddhion> ubutom_ i got it and put it into the Gateway section
[22:05] <acerimmer_> Merkwerdichliebe: nice try, but that's not how it works.  different equipment, different configurations and NOT hotswapable.
[22:05] <kjele> Merkwerdichliebe: you forgot to install grub to that drive
[22:06] <Merkwerdichliebe> Kjele I did install grub to that drive, it even asked for it..
[22:06] <siddhion> ubutom_ its the same as my "inet addr"
[22:06] <ubutom_> shadows090, you could give it an address like 192.168.1.5 and use the other subnet on the wireless side
[22:06] <ubutom_> siddhion, really? that's odd
[22:07] <papertigers> hspaans: isnt bonnie just for benchmarks?
[22:07] <Merkwerdichliebe> Acerimmer are you sure? I find it very weird as the same live CD would boot on both systems.. Is there no way to install like a 'universal install'  or something?
[22:07] <shadows090> ubutum_ so far I'm unable to access the wireless ap at all, connected via eth0, i'm unable to access through the browser (how it's normally configed), and I'm unable to ping. any ideas on how i can change its ip address?
[22:07] <acerimmer_> Merkwerdichliebe: may i suggest you install ubuntu to a usb and just boot your lappie off of that.
[22:07] <siddhion> ubutom_ no sorry. my mistake , it is very similar
[22:08] <acerimmer_> Merkwerdichliebe: of course it will BOOT, but setting up a persistent install requires configurations and settings.  and ps3 does not equal laptop.
[22:08] <Merkwerdichliebe> Acerimmer, as I mentioned earlier, the laptop doesn't support boot-from-usb (I also tried plugging the USB in and checking the bios but it just doesn't show up).. It doesn't support booting from USB
[22:08] <Merkwerdichliebe> P3
[22:08] <BaseBallBoy> I need help compiling a 32-bit app that needs libz on a 64-bit system, what to do?
[22:08] <ubutom_> shadows090, you need to onnect to it via a crossover cable or use dhcp with it so that your interface is configured properly, did that with mine too
[22:08] <acerimmer_> Merkwerdichliebe: sorry missed that
[22:08] <Merkwerdichliebe> pentium 3, sorry.
[22:08] <kjele> Merkwerdichliebe: did you only have one hdd on the p3?
[22:08]  * clrg wishes everyone a pleasant evening. Bye
[22:08] <Merkwerdichliebe> I have an old one laying around somewhere
[22:08] <acerimmer_> Merkwerdichliebe: hdd's are cheap???
[22:08] <Daekdroom> Merkwerdichliebe, It won't work because the P3 will set other drivers for use..
[22:08] <KenBW22> how would i get the xrandr command to try a resolution not shown in the Monitors configuration program
[22:08] <ubutom_> shadows090, then you can change the ip settings
[22:08] <wildbat> Merkwerdichliebe, try install grub2 again ~ if not work you may have to fallback to grub1
[22:08] <siddhion> ubutom_ so I have imputed my 3 numbers....what now?
[22:08] <shadows090> ubutom_ my mistake, it is through a crossover cable. when set up with dhcp it does not acquire an ip address
[22:08] <ubutom_> ok siddhion, what does it say?
[22:08] <histo> shadows090: try 192.168.1.1
[22:09] <ubutom_> shadows090, try sudo dhclient
[22:09] <cprxmm7> xorg.conf does not seem to affect the resolutions available to me on Ubuntu. Is there something wrong with my configuration? - http://pastebin.com/uE6SmHU9
[22:09] <shadows090> histo: i cannot connect to 192.168.1.1 (that is my gateway), i have no access to my gateway
[22:09] <ubutom_> siddhion, can you find out your isps dns-servers?
[22:09] <Merkwerdichliebe> Wildbat I can't remember having a 'choice'  which grub I wanted to install with the alternate ubuntu install CD.. Am I missing something or do I have to use something else to install Grub1?
[22:09] <siddhion> ubutom_ should I say it in here publically?
[22:10] <siddhion> ubutom_ id rather not say it
[22:10] <ubutom_> siddhion, as it is ony used internally, it won't do harm
[22:10] <histo> shadows090: if you are plugged in tot he router try runningh sudo dhclient  in a terminal  should get you an ip
[22:10] <rafaelsoaresbr> is there any hardware information utility other than hwinfo for ubuntu?
[22:10] <ubutom_> siddhion, this addresses only apply to your lan
[22:10] <KenBW22> cprxmm7: we're in similar boats. i think xorg.conf was deprecated
[22:10] <siddhion> ubutom_ 192.168.1.1
[22:10] <MikeChelen> what is the proper way to install & run tor now?
[22:10] <acerimmer_> Merkwerdichliebe: don't know but wonder if you can't create a live HDD?  ask around.  Believe  that's the only way you can make this fly, but I'm perfectly willing to be proven wrong.  :)
[22:10] <ubutom_> siddhion, that was the dns entry?
[22:10] <cprxmm7> KenBW22: any leads on what has superseded it?
[22:10] <histo> !tor | MikeChelen
[22:10] <siddhion> ubutom_ now I should enter the DNS server field. but what do i put in there?
[22:10] <shadows090> histo: yes that will get me an ip, but I am still unable to connect to the wireless access point. is there any way you can think to connect to the access point? it has a default ip of 192.168.10.100, and i'm still unable to ping or connect to the AP
[22:10] <KenBW22> cprxmm7: System > Prefs > Monitors afaik
[22:11] <histo> MikeChelen: ughh there are directioss on tor's site.
[22:11] <histo> MikeChelen: can't find the ubottu trigger at the moment
[22:11] <siddhion> ubutom_ that was the 'nameserver'
[22:11] <wildbat> Merkwerdichliebe, the default is grub2 ~ try installing that one more time , make sure you install on the right drive
[22:11] <ubutom_> siddhion, yeah, domain name server, dns
[22:11] <wildbat> !grub2 | Merkwerdichliebe
[22:11] <wildbat> !grub | Merkwerdichliebe
[22:11] <histo> shadows090: you need to get to the routers admin page and make sure that its enabled to allow wireless admin etc...
[22:11] <siddhion> ubutom_ so I put that number in the DNS server field?
[22:11] <Merkwerdichliebe> Wildbat I'm doing that as of yet - I'll hope for the best
[22:11] <ubutom_> siddhion, my suggestion now is to add an external dns server of your isp
[22:12] <MikeChelen> histo, ah that is ok, found the tor ubuntu repo on their site
[22:12] <ubutom_> yes siddhion
[22:12] <histo> shadows090: you probably should search for your type of router this isn't really a ubuntu question.
[22:12] <Merkwerdichliebe> acerimmer, that's also my thought right now.. if this retry doesn't work I'll probably install ubuntu on an other separate HD and from there prepare the laptop HD with a live partition or something and try again.
[22:12] <siddhion> ubutom_ how do I ascertain that number?
[22:12] <wildbat> acerimmer_, you can ~ ppl inst to usb hdd and carry the "machine" with them
[22:12] <ubutom_> siddhion, and after that address you put a , and then the dns server of your isp
[22:12] <ubutom_> siddhion, you know your internet service provider?
[22:12] <shadows090> histo: yeah thanks, i have everything set up on the router page, i just figured I would try here. i've tried getting it up on xp and ubuntu. thanks though
[22:12] <siddhion> ubutom_ I just put 192.168.1.1 as my DNS server
[22:12] <acerimmer_> wildbat: :( that "woosh" was the sound of completely over my head.  Can you plz advise Merk.?
[22:12] <ubutom_> like fore example at&t or something siddhion
[22:13] <shadows090> siddhion: try 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 as a dns server
[22:13] <siddhion> ubutom_ i am in Poland
[22:13] <ubutom_> siddhion, yeah, that's ok, but we need to set a second to test if it will change anything
[22:13] <Ublost> cant get boot_info_script to run on liveCD on ubuntu 10.04.  Any one have any ideas?
[22:13] <face> I've been having some trouble with my wireless adaptor.  Can anyone help me?
[22:13] <siddhion> ubutom_ I go with a local ISP
[22:14] <shadows090> face: what's the problem?
[22:14] <face> Ah, well
[22:14] <wildbat> Merkwerdichliebe, btw, boot the laptop with "shift" key hold down, see if it give you boot menu
[22:14] <ubutom_> siddhion, then check out their website
[22:14] <BaseBallBoy> again, I need help compiling a 32-bit app that needs libz on a 64-bit system, what to do?
[22:14] <siddhion> ubutom_ how do I find out the DNS server of my ISP
[22:14] <ubutom_> siddhion, they should have that information there
[22:14] <face> I got a Wireless WN311B Wireless adapter
[22:14] <chalk> hi, whenever i try to choose an option from the power menu on the top right, it only logs me out
[22:14] <kjele> BaseBallBoy: chech libc6-i386
[22:14] <face> It's Netgear brand.
[22:14] <ubutom_> siddhion, or try googling it
[22:14] <Merkwerdichliebe> wildbat will try, the second instll just finished, going to swap the HD now
[22:14] <shadows090> siddhion: it should set up your dns server automatically. if you'd like you can use 8.8.8.8 as primary and 8.8.4.4 as alternate. that's google's ip
[22:14] <face> The problem is, this specific type of adapter doesn't contain the
[22:15] <BaseBallBoy> kjele: already have it
[22:15] <face> drivers within
[22:15] <shadows090> siddhion: google's dns server**
[22:15] <kjele> BaseBallBoy: then use -m32 flag
[22:15] <blocky> Hi, is there a way to have my monitor blank after 5 minutes but not lock the screen for, say, 30?
[22:15] <face> I was told to open the .exe file, and extract from there the .sys and .inf files.
[22:15] <shadows090> blocky: you can change the screensaver settings.
[22:15] <face> Problem is, I did this, and it doesn't seem to work.
[22:15] <shadows090> face: exe files don't work in ubuntu. i'm confused on what the issue is
[22:16] <face> Okay.
[22:16] <kjele> BaseBallBoy: like gcc -m32
[22:16] <face> I bought the router, but I can't find the drivers.
[22:16] <blocky> shadows090, can you elaborate? there is only one time out in the screen saver settings accessible from the preferences menu
[22:16] <face>  Nobody has them online - that I can find - and the CD that came with
[22:16] <face> only has a .exe file inside.
[22:16] <wildbat> face, router don't need a driver to run
[22:16] <ubutom_> siddhion, ok, do what shadows090 said, add 8.8.8.8 with a , to your dns entry, should look like this then: 192.168.1.1,8.8.8.8,
[22:17] <donaldkelly> Hi there. I've been using Ubuntu off and on since 8.04, I just installed 10.04LTS via a DVD, however I'm not able to get online, as I don't have the drivers for my MacBook Pro, It has a Broadcom chip, I've looked over LinuxWireless.org but I can't seem to find any source to download them.
[22:17] <face> I opened this on my windows computer, and located the .inf/.sys files
[22:17] <eniac> Is it possible to use ubuntu with another wm without gdm. In short changing most of it ?
[22:17] <face> and I meant "adapter," sorry.
[22:17] <face> I misspoke.
[22:17] <chalk> i can't turn off this computer
[22:17] <acerimmer_> donaldkelly: http://i.imgur.com/5cPMh.jpg
[22:18] <shadows090> face: i don't mean to sound rude, but I'm not sure what the issue is. if you bought a router then you should just be able to connect a computer to it and configure the router
[22:18] <wildbat> face you trying to install NIC windows driver to linux? that's not going to work
[22:18] <face> Also, this is probably the best time for me to mention that I'm using the latest stable release of CrunchBang, which is a ubuntu based distro.
[22:18] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok i did it
[22:18] <face> It's a adapter, as I said, I misspoke.  No router.
[22:18] <doeke> Heya, can anyone tell me how to find out what process is causing 100% iowait? thanks
[22:19] <face> I've been told that I can use windows drivers with ndisgtk
[22:19] <Merkwerdichliebe> Wildbat , still no luck.. I'm going to try it the other way, booting a live cd from a partition and install on the same drive.. (is it even possible!?)
[22:19] <wildbat> face, adapter as network adapter?
[22:19] <ubutom_> siddhion, and if all that didn't help you can always reset that settings by setting the connection back to automatic in ipv4 settings. good, siddhion, now you could try to restart the network, /etc/init.d/network restart  I think
[22:19] <shadows090> wildbat: i think he means a usb wireless adapter. is that right face?
[22:19] <Flakeparadigm> How would I go about converting a GUID disk to MBR in ubuntu?
[22:19] <cprxmm7> KenBW22: the xrandr command was helpful to me
[22:19] <face> Yes.
[22:19] <face> Wireless Network adaptor.
[22:19] <ubutom_> siddhion, erm sudo /etc/init.d/network restart and be sure to save your changes
[22:19] <face> Attached to my computer via PCI carad.
[22:19] <face> *card.
[22:20] <face> oh shi-
[22:20] <face> attached by PCI.
[22:20] <kjele> ubutom_: should be Network-manager
[22:20] <yaaar> howdy
[22:20] <face> God, I'm even stuttery on the internet.
[22:20] <wildbat> Merkwerdichliebe, yes but make sure you partition it frist, i still do think you have problem with grub2.
[22:20] <ubutom_> oh, ok kjele, what's the command again for network restart? :)
[22:20] <majnoon> how setup xdcmp ??
[22:20] <Alphanaut> anyone suggest a good openvpn gui for ubuntu?
[22:20] <cprxmm7> KenBW22: perhaps for you as well
[22:20] <inspiron_> does anyone know how to find the version of gcc which was used to compile the precompiled kernels which come from the ubuntu repositories?
[22:21] <face> Shadows090: it's PCI.
[22:21] <Merkwerdichliebe> Wildbat thanks for the heads up. I'll give the grub1 route one more shot
[22:21] <siddhion> ubutom_ it says "command not found"
[22:21] <kjele> ubutom_: same as yours but the filename is different
[22:21] <BaseBallBoy> kjele: so since the program uses make just add it to the Makefile?
[22:21] <face> Also, I'm a bit of a noob.  I've read some basic stuff, and I can sort of navigate terminal, but all in all, I'm a noob.
[22:21] <wildbat> face, open a terminal and type "iwconfig" see what it list
[22:21] <kjele> BaseBallBoy: yes
[22:21] <BaseBallBoy> kjele: Alright, thanks :)
[22:22] <face> Ah, this is actually for a different computer, but I can tell you that it doesn't even register wlan0.
[22:22] <ubutom_> siddhion, never mind, try sudo ifdown eth0  and then sudo ifup eth0
[22:22] <ubutom_> should use the new settings then siddhion
[22:22] <inspiron_> does anyone know how to find the version of gcc which was used to compile the precompiled kernels which come from the ubuntu repositories?
[22:23] <inspiron_> ooops too soon
[22:23] <kanja> I don't know anything about iptables, but I'm starting to mess with them. There's a ton of options for making my life easier - rope, shorewall.. Does anyone have any opinions about which one to learn?
[22:23] <siddhion> ubutom_ after typing "sudo ifdown eth0" it says "ifdown: interface eth0 not configured"
[22:24] <ubutom_> siddhion, did you save the changes in network manager dialog thing?
[22:24] <face> @wildbat my compy's upstairs.  If you want, I can run and get it.
[22:24] <unop> inspiron_, look in /proc/version perhaps. not sure how you'd do it without having booted up with a particular kernel first.
[22:24] <Sagewere> I need some help. I have a Broadcom wireless adapter, built into my laptop. It seems to work, however, I cannot connect to my router, despite entering the correct password
[22:25] <ubutom_> siddhion, apply-button in the window
[22:25] <siddhion> ubutom_  yes, just opened it again and all the changes are there
[22:25] <kjele> siddhion: sudo service network-manager restart is to restart the service
[22:25] <wildbat> face, sure, btw what is the brand and model no. of your card
[22:26] <siddhion> ubutom_  Method: manual .... Address, Netmask & Gateway have their numbers ..... DNS server has its 2 numbers
[22:26] <kanja> I'm going to user shorewall
[22:26] <kanja> anyone have any objections? :)
[22:26] <face> It's a Netgear WN311B.  This guy: http://www.netgear.com/Products/Adapters/RangeMaxWirelessNAdapters/WN311B.aspx
[22:26] <ubutom_> siddhion, i dont know atm the command to restart the whole network, you might as well reboot, or anyone tell us please :)
[22:27] <face> wildbat, brb
[22:27] <ubutom_> siddhion, got it
[22:28] <siddhion> kjele ubutom_ ok I typed in "sudo service network-manager restart" and it said "network-manager start/running, process 2193" and then "Auto eth0" got reconnected
[22:28] <ubutom_> siddhion sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[22:28] <evilsherpa> morning all, i am sporadicly getting my ipod to mount with write privs, and sometimes, not, today is a not, any idea how to have ubuntu mount it as writeable so that i can use exaile to manage it
[22:29] <kjele> siddhion: What does ifconfig say now?
[22:29] <ubutom_> siddhion, cjeck if the changes are gone now
[22:29] <ubutom_> *check
[22:29] <siddhion> kjele ubutom_ but now all the items on the right side of the top menu bar in Xubuntu has shifted over to the right side....appearing right after the "?" button!!
[22:29] <wildbat> !bc| face
[22:29] <bsmith093> my applications menu absolutely WILL NOT UPDATE no matter what i do! I've tried update-menus sudo update-menus manually adding things, nothing. Help?
[22:30] <wildbat> !broadcom | face
[22:30] <siddhion> ubutom_ do you want me to paste all the text I got from "ifconfig"into a pastie ?
[22:30] <evilsherpa> !ipod
[22:31] <ubutom_> siddhion, cat /etc/resolv.conf would be more interesting now
[22:31] <ubutom_> if you do that, is the second dns server now present siddhion ?
[22:31] <Farkie> Hey :) Is there a way to monitor what users do? (real time, not .bash_history)
[22:31] <Hybodus> I work for a charity which recycles items been dumped, mainly white goods such as cookers, washing machines etc, but we also recycle pcs, atm the charity has a contract with MS for serial keys to put XP on the recycled pcs, I'd like to put Ubuntu on some pcs, do I need a special agreement/contract to do this.... we do sell the pcs to do charity work so I need to know if I installed ubuntu on a recycled pc and sold it cheaply wo
[22:32] <face> ubottu I was not the guy who had a problem with a Broadcom, that was Sagewere.
[22:32] <Farkie> Hybodus: No
[22:32] <siddhion> ubutom_  ok it tells me I have 2 nameservers now.... the 192.168.1.1 and the 8.8.8.8
[22:32] <Ritchie_1> could somebody help me with driver problems? I have a wifi card, which worked fine with older kernels, but with the newer ones, it won't get recognised..
[22:32] <kjele> Hybodus: no, Ubuntu is free
[22:32] <ubutom_> that's fine siddhion now try browsers
[22:33] <siddhion> ubutom_ twitter still is not loading
[22:33] <ubutom_> siddhion, try clearing the cache
[22:33] <siddhion> ubutom_  imdb is not loading either
[22:33] <evilsherpa> does anyone have any experience with using an iPod classic in 10.04? mine seems to sporadically mount with privs, but sometimes not
[22:33] <Sagewere> ubottu: BROADCOM BCM4312
[22:33] <ubutom_> theres some option in preferences of browser I think
[22:33] <siddhion> ubutom_ how do i clean the cache?
[22:34] <Hybodus> ty Farkie, kjele for your answers, so I take it I can install ubuntu with no problem then :))) that would help the charity a lot :)
[22:34] <face> Wildbat, it tells me that there are no connections.
[22:34] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, reinstall your driver
[22:34] <ubutom_> siddhion, or surf to a site you normally don't isit
[22:34] <Sagewere> gah, I expected too much from the bot.
[22:34] <wildbat> !broadcom | face
[22:34] <ubutom_> *visit
[22:34] <schlaftier> evilsherpa: what filesystem do you have on it? If it's HFS+ you should have journalling turned off
[22:34] <kjele> !gpl | Hybodus
[22:35] <evilsherpa> SchneeSchwarz, its vfat
[22:35] <siddhion> ubutom_ yeah i went to IMDB.com a site I have not tried yet
[22:35] <evilsherpa> SchneeSchwarz, fat32
[22:35] <Hybodus> thank you for your help, I did think I was ok legally but wanted to check :)))
[22:35] <face> wildbat, I am not dealing with a Broadcom router.
[22:35] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok Twitter just loaded for the first time yet on Xubuntu in Chrome....but it toook like 3 to 5 minutes
[22:35] <ubutom_> hm siddhion didn't work then
[22:36] <Brian_H>  I'd like to use kickstart to pre-seed installations, however I need to be able to have an encrypted / partition.  I've tried the options listed on the fedora page for kickstart, but they are not working.  anyone know how to encrypt / via the kickstart file?
[22:36] <rww> Sagewere: You need help with a BCM4312?
[22:36] <siddhion> ubutom_ and still the load spinner is still spinning althought it loks like all the content is there
[22:36] <wildbat> face, it should be the chip inside your network card
[22:36] <evilsherpa> SchneeSchwarz, the random thing is that ubuntu sees it as "Evil's oPod" which is what it is labeled as, when it mounts, it mounts as that, but also creates a usb0 - i cant unmount/eject it unless i log out of ubuntu and back in
[22:36] <ubutom_> siddhion, try closing and restarting the browsers as last attempt
[22:36] <bsmith093> face connect to a wired network use hardware drivers in the system menu
[22:37] <Farkie> couldn't open file '/var/log/wtmp': No such file or directory
[22:37] <Farkie> =[
[22:37] <kjele> evilsherpa: Even with sudo you can't umount it?
[22:37] <ubutom_> siddhion, if that doesn't work too, you can revert the config in network manager under ipv4 back to auto and if the second nameserver still is in /etc/resolv.conf the second entry
[22:38] <face> None of the Current Ubuntu releases have the drivers for the WN311B preinstalled, bsmith093.
[22:38] <bsmith093> doesnt hardware drivers look online for the drivers?
[22:38] <ubutom_> siddhion, if that doesn't work too, you can revert the config in network manager under ipv4 back to auto and if the second nameserver still is in /etc/resolv.conf *remove* the second entry
[22:38] <bsmith093> and is it a router u r having problems with, or a network card?
[22:39] <siddhion> ubutom_ yeah, its still unreasonably slow
[22:39] <evilsherpa> kjele, its not that it doesnt mount, its the write privs that are the issue
[22:39] <frallzor> lo guyys, trying to get hardy heron running a touchscreen for a LG monitor according to this guide:  http://www.rantakokko.net/tapani/blog/2009/04/29/lg-l1730sf-touch-screen-display-in-ubuntu-linux-804-hardy-heron/
[22:39] <kjele> evilsherpa: can't you mount it manually with rw?
[22:39] <ubutom_> siddhion, can you access the web configuration of your router?
[22:39] <frallzor> but it just wont stop using default driver
[22:39] <evilsherpa> like its mounted now, but read only, and its not visible in exaile device manager
[22:39] <frallzor> any ideas?
[22:39] <FloodBot1> frallzor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:40] <siddhion> ubutom_ should i revert to "Automatic (DCHP)" or  "Automatic (DCHP) addresses only"?
[22:40] <Lucenut> OK, I got connected to the windows file system. :-)
[22:40] <ubutom_> siddhion, I think it was the first one
[22:40] <bsmith093> my applications menu wont update to clear old entries or add new ones, even when i try to clear them manually
[22:41] <ubutom_> siddhion, am not quite sure what the second means
[22:41] <Lucenut> Quick question. In the "File Browser" how do I get the setting to stick for "List View"?
[22:41] <siddhion> ubutom_ right, it was....ok I just did that and applied the changes
[22:41] <evilsherpa> kjele, i just created "UUID=3141-5926      /media/ipod     vfat    noauto,users,umask=0007,uid=1000         0       0" entry in fstab, but no love
[22:41] <Sagewere> ok, Does Ubuntu have an issue with Dlink routers?
[22:41] <siddhion> ubutom_ so now I what should i do?
[22:41] <ubutom_> siddhion, now do a sudo dhclient
[22:41] <h00k> Sagewere: negative
[22:41] <jpng81> boas
[22:41] <frallzor> noone up for my "challenge"? :)
[22:42] <Salah> I get this question "Activate Serial ATA RAID devices?". If I answer YES, my disk comes as a raid drive, if no the disks that are on my RAID0 partition comes as several disks. But if I answer YES the system fails to install. There is no error message. What to do?
[22:42] <bsmith093> fralzor what challenge
[22:42] <frallzor> bsmith093 my little problem a few rows up
[22:42] <bsmith093> frallzor: oh that sorry no idea
[22:42] <kjele> evilsherpa: Mount it with its block device witht the mount command
[22:42] <NeanT> i have a pdf file with (selectable) text and the same image background on every page.. is there a way i could remove the background from printing?
[22:42] <Sagewere> h00k: I can't connect to mine, no matter what I try to do. Reinstalled my drivers for my wireless card, I can pick up the signal, and the neighboors, but I can't connect to mine. NOTE: using wpa personal
[22:43] <ne7work> how can I update my wine on ubuntu 9.04 ?
[22:43] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok did that what now?
[22:43] <frallzor> Im pretty novice but still I understand the problem at least but not how to solve it
[22:43] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: sorry, I had to leave for some minutes.. how do I reinstall driver on ubuntu?
[22:43] <h00k> Sagewere: the WPA and your driver might have problems, depending on your card and things :(
[22:43] <bsmith093> ne7work: sudo apt-get update wine?
[22:44] <ubutom_> siddhion, well, now everythings back the way it was before
[22:44] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, just did what you did in 9.10
[22:44] <ne7work> bsmith093: how to add repository for wine mannualy?
[22:44] <evilsherpa> kjele /dev/sdc1               1       30019   156093788    b  W95 FAT32
[22:44] <Sagewere> h00k: really? which security would you recomend then?
[22:44] <ubutom_> try if anything changed, but i doubt it siddhion
[22:44] <evilsherpa> kjele which is the block device?
[22:44] <ne7work> bsmith093: E: The update command takes no arguments
[22:44] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: and what was that? resintalling the whole system? last time worked, but I wouldn't try it no
[22:44] <kjele> evilsherpa: /dev/sdc1
[22:44] <Ritchie_1> now
[22:44] <h00k> ne7work: for Wine issues, you can head to #winehq, they can help you quite well
[22:44] <ubutom_> siddhion, you gotthe other pcs on as well atm?
[22:44] <h00k> Sagewere: what wireless card do you have?
[22:45] <bsmith093> ne7work:  oh ok then here sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
[22:45] <bsmith093> add that to the terminal
[22:45] <siddhion> ubutom_ i have my vista machine on right now
[22:45] <bsmith093> then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:45] <Sagewere> h00k Broadcom BCM4312
[22:45] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, no just the driver
[22:45] <Ritchie_1> but how?
[22:45] <siddhion> ubutom_ i am chatting from that machine
[22:45] <ubutom_> siddhion, and if you only have the ubuntu box on was there any change?
[22:45] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, what kind of wireless card you have?
[22:45] <bsmith093> Sagewere: i have that exact network card whats the issue?
[22:46] <h00k> Sagewere: I'm not extremely familiar with how Broadcom support is, but I bet someone in here can help, just let the channel know you're having problems with WPA
[22:46] <evilsherpa> kjele, problem is that the sdc changes depending on what usb devices are plugged in
[22:46] <N-JOY> hi
[22:46] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: it is an edimax ew-7104PC, PCMCA wifi card B type
[22:46] <h00k> Sagewere: and your broadcom :)
[22:46] <Sagewere> bsmith093: I cannot log into my network, using WPA Personal
[22:46] <Sagewere> h00k: thank you!
[22:46] <kjele> evilsherpa: Does it work is the question
[22:46] <h00k> Sagewere: good luck :)
[22:47] <siddhion> ubutom_ i can check but i doubt it will change it...i will check it right now...be back in 3 minutes
[22:47] <ne7work> bsmith093: sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
[22:47] <bsmith093> ne7work:  what versio are u running
[22:47] <ne7work> ubuntu 9.04
[22:47] <ne7work> x64
[22:47] <evilsherpa> kjele, fstab is trying to mount it by its UUID, isnt that the best way? - Il try it with its dsc1 though
[22:48] <kjele> evilsherpa: One thing at a time. Does the manually mount it works?
[22:48] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, try plugin a wire and wait a bit see if it found any driver for you
[22:49] <bsmith093> ne7work: Open the Software Sources menu by going to  System->Administration->Software Sources.  Then select the Third   Party Software tab and click Add. enter ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
[22:49] <russianzilla> Hey, I'm having trouble with Ubuntu temporarily switching to a tty terminal at boot, and then freezing on the login screen until I hit the power button of my computer. Can anyone help?
[22:49] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: well, I have already tried it, but nothing... not even 20 minutes later... it worked fine with  ubuntu 8.04 and some kernels later, but then nothing
[22:50] <russianzilla> I'm almost positive it has something to do with mouse drivers, if that helps.
[22:50] <wildbat> how you get it work back then?
[22:51] <jdeloach> Anyone know why my BIOS is showing 4 gigs of ram, but ubuntu only recognizes 2.7 of it?
[22:51] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: I don't know.. first I installed ubuntu 8.04, it didn't work.. then a year later I installed it again, it worked for a while.. then I started updating the distros, and nothing..
[22:51] <Farkie> jdeloach -> 32Bit OS?
[22:51] <Ritchie_1> (not I am using a machine with windows :D)
[22:51] <Ritchie_1> now
[22:51] <jdeloach> Farkie yes, but isn't that for things ABOVE 4 gigs?
[22:51] <Ritchie_1> it works fine, but I hate it
[22:52] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, no
[22:52] <Farkie> nope
[22:52] <Farkie> 3
[22:52] <Farkie> 2.7 :P
[22:52] <jdeloach> Farkie Oh, okay. What do I need to do?
[22:52] <t3st1ng> bitches
[22:52] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, install 64 bit
[22:52] <Farkie> install 64bit
[22:52] <Farkie> lol
[22:52] <Farkie> total system reinstall
[22:52] <jdeloach> Farkie: I read I could just update my Kernel
[22:52] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, Farkie, wait
[22:52] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, i can't find any useful info in google ~ may you can try Ndiswrapper
[22:52] <R3cur51v3> you can try PAE
[22:52] <R3cur51v3> IDK, YMMV
[22:53] <russianzilla> Is there any way to pull up a log of the messages that are output during boot? As in the ones that show when you disable quiet splash?
[22:53] <jdeloach> R3cur51v3 does PAE work just as well?
[22:53] <R3cur51v3> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE
[22:53] <jdeloach> R3cur51v3 thanks
[22:53] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, I think so. It's just sorta an ugly solution.
[22:54] <wildbat> !Ndiswrapper | Ritchie_1
[22:54] <siddhion> hi
[22:54] <a3ist> anyone know how I can restrict a mouse to only move the cursor when a specific key is being held down?
[22:54] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, "In general, a proper 64 bit system is recommended if you have 4 Gb or more memory and/or want to get the full benefit of the 64 bit architecture (see 32bit_and_64bit), but in some cases making a complete switch to 64 bit is not desirable, and using PAE can be a viable compromise."
[22:54] <evilsherpa> kjele, im sorry, in terminal?
[22:55] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: so there is no emulation? because the machine is a 750Mhz pentium 3 one
[22:55] <kjele> evilsherpa: If it works then use "blkid /dev/sdc1" to check if the UUID is correct. If there is no UUID you can set one with tune2fs command. Yes mount it in the terminal.
[22:55] <siddhion> ubutom_ well it might be a bit faster...not sure
[22:55] <jdeloach> R3cur51v3 with just 4 GB would you recomend just PAE?
[22:55] <evilsherpa> kjele, yeh i got the UUID with blkid
[22:55] <evilsherpa> kjele,  in terminal do i type sudo mount /dev/dsc1
[22:55] <iceroot> jdeloach: PAE can just handle 1.8GB for a single process
[22:56] <iceroot> jdeloach: if you have processes using more ram, pae is not the right way
[22:56] <ubutom_> siddhion, well.. don't know anything else to try, maybe someone else knows what could be causing this
[22:56] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, hmm? what do that have to do with the issue? try lspci see if it can locate the chipset of the wireless
[22:56] <jdeloach> iceroot but I shall be able to utilize all 4 GB though right? ( 2x1.8 gb process? )
[22:56] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, yeah
[22:56] <iceroot> jdeloach: yes
[22:56] <evilsherpa> kjele,  i mean how do i app the write permissions to the term manual mount?
[22:56] <kjele> evilsherpa: "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/ipod" If it complains you need to set some options
[22:56] <bsmith093> sudo aptitude install linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae
[22:56] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, I would personally go 64 bit, but that's just me. There's really no reason not to.
[22:56] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: I have written it in connection with ndiswrapper
[22:57] <84XAAGJVC> has anybody install Livezilla as server in ubuntu?
[22:57] <iceroot> !anyone | 84XAAGJVC
[22:57] <evilsherpa> kjele,  evilsherpa@evilsherpa-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/ipod
[22:57] <evilsherpa> mount: mount point /media/ipod does not exist
[22:57] <ubutom_> siddhion, I encountered that problem only when I was loading torrent and forgot to set a limit for up/download, so my router couldn't handle all the requests and browsing got nearly impossible
[22:57] <jdeloach> R3cur51v3 If one is too lazy to reinstall, there is a reason not to upgrade ;)
[22:57] <a3ist> anyone know how to tweak an input device (wiimote being used as a mouse) to only move the cursor if a certain button is being held?
[22:57] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, there are a few compatibility and speed-related hiccups, but for the most part 64 bit works as well or better than 32 bit.
[22:57] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, yeah
[22:57] <jdeloach> evilsherpa: mkdir /media/ipod
[22:57] <Farkie> yes 84XAAGJVC, easy
[22:57] <R3cur51v3> jdeloach, the choice is yours
[22:57] <kjele> evilsherpa: sudo mkdir -p /media/ipod
[22:57] <Farkie> it's a php app
[22:57] <Ritchie_1> ubuntu freezed :D
[22:58] <Farkie> rgotten, just use the window app to install it on your server
[22:58] <rgotten> Farkie: how can i do that with livezilla
[22:58] <siddhion> ubutom_ ok...yeah i should point out that I am loading Twitter and assortment of other websites and System Monitor says I am downloading under 1kbps
[22:58] <ubutom_> siddhion, if you can you should try another router or check the cable or idk....
[22:58] <Farkie> are you on a windows os?
[22:58] <ne7work> bsmith093: i can't click add source i can click only cansel :(
[22:58] <kjele> evilsherpa: That you need a folder for the fstab version to work too.
[22:58] <rgotten> ys
[22:58] <Farkie> go to the website, download it.. it asks you to setup a server
[22:59] <Farkie> follow the instructions
[22:59] <Farkie> gogog
[22:59] <bsmith093> ne7work: what exactly does it say
[22:59] <ubutom_> siddhion, you should also take a look in the router's configuration, maybe there is the problem
[22:59] <siddhion> ubutom_ but the router must be fine because Chrome and Vista on my Vista machine are accessing sites fast
[22:59] <FrozenInferno> i recently changed my hostname, and now everytime i use sudo, i get a hostname error
[22:59] <rgotten> Farkie...i saw the instruction to download an install on windows..so were is the part of Ubuntu..i have being googling and cannot dfind something for a newby like me
[23:00] <ne7work> bsmith093: yes
[23:00] <Farkie> lol rgotten
[23:00] <Farkie> the windows app ftp's to your server
[23:00] <h00k> !hostname | FrozenInferno
[23:00] <siddhion> ubutom_  edbian told me that all browsers use port 80 to get to the internet so wouldnt it make sense that port 80 is to blame?
[23:00] <ubutom_> siddhion, try using a live-cd and see if the problem is also with that
[23:00] <Farkie> wrong siddhion
[23:00] <h00k> siddhion: also, port 81 for https
[23:00] <Farkie> httpd's use port 80
[23:01] <Farkie> browsers usually use > 30000 ports
[23:01] <Farkie> :)
[23:01] <rgotten> Farkie: so what do i need to install on ubuntu?
[23:01] <Farkie> ftp?
[23:01] <Farkie> d
[23:01] <abstrakt> anyone know a good wireless card that i can pick up at bestbuy?
[23:01] <abstrakt> expresscard for my Dell laptop
[23:01] <siddhion> Farkie so are you right or h00k right>?
[23:01] <abstrakt> the built in dell wifi uses the restricted drivers and they're not compatible with RT
[23:01] <Farkie> are you talking about client or server side
[23:02] <h00k> siddhion: Port 80 is for http data, 81 is for https data
[23:02] <abstrakt> i know orinoco supposedly makes good cards
[23:02] <R3cur51v3> abstrakt, I'm sure there's a way to get your card working
[23:02] <abstrakt> just want to be able to waltz down to BB and pick one up
[23:02] <abstrakt> R3cur51v3: believe me, i've tried
[23:02] <R3cur51v3> abstrakt, Google the name of your card + Ubuntu
[23:02] <rgotten> Farkie: sorry if i consfuse ..i am new...i am assuming server, and clients will be on windows computer
[23:02] <R3cur51v3> abstrakt, have you tried ndiswrapper?
[23:02] <abstrakt> R3cur51v3: i didn't say "one that works"
[23:02] <abstrakt> R3cur51v3: or rather that's not what i meant
[23:02] <Farkie> 81?
[23:02] <ubutom_> abstrakt, we don't know the sortiment of bestbuy
[23:02] <Farkie> 442..
[23:02] <Farkie> 3
[23:03] <Farkie> 443
[23:03] <FloodBot1> Farkie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:03] <Farkie> fu
[23:03] <ubutom_> abstrakt, why don't you order one on the internet ? :)
[23:03] <Farkie> lol
[23:03] <abstrakt> R3cur51v3: i said exactly what i mean: my wireless driver doesn't work with RT
[23:03] <siddhion> h00k and http and https is what all browsers use...so that means something must be messed up with Port 80 and 81, right??
[23:03] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: so i typed the magic words for the chipset type, what should I start looking for? here I see only: Host bridge, PCI bridge, CardBus bridge
[23:03] <Farkie> what's the actual problem siddhion
[23:03] <abstrakt> ubutom_: cuz that takes time, i want to be able to just walk into best buy in like 10 minutes when i leave work and just get one
[23:03] <h00k> Farkie, siddhion: I'm sorry, Farkie is correct, 443 is for https.
[23:03] <abstrakt> i don't want to wait a week or pay $40 for overnight
[23:04] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, hmm just pastebinit
[23:04] <abstrakt> the other option is just to buy a router so that i can plug in to the hard line
[23:04] <h00k> siddhion: if it's a server you're working on, you can also get support in #ubuntu-server
[23:04] <happyface> how can I specify which tty I want gnome-terminal to open?
[23:04] <abstrakt> which would be fine
[23:04] <iceroot> abstrakt: you have a ubuntu-support question?
[23:04] <jpng81> é possivel esta situação? ter um dns a apontar para o meu server em casa, mas a situação do server de mail estar a ser tratado por uma empresa?
[23:04] <Farkie> rgotten. It's easy
[23:04] <h00k> !es | jpng81
[23:04] <abstrakt> iceroot: yeah, does anyone know, offhand, any wireless cards available at best buy that don't require restricted drivers
[23:05] <Ubuntu> Hello i am here because i have no sound
[23:05] <Farkie> Install the livezilla application on your pc
[23:05] <ubutom_> well, abstrakt , as i said, how should we know what cards they sell? you could drop by there, and look them up at home and then drop by another time
[23:05] <siddhion> h00k no i am not on a server...just an old laptop
[23:05] <Farkie> then it will ask you to connect to the webserver
[23:05] <h00k> siddhion: okay.
[23:05] <Ritchie_1> wildbat? you mean paste here?
[23:05] <abstrakt> ubutom_: yeah i know, that takes time :)
[23:05] <iceroot> abstrakt: every from asus, they come with open-source drivers
[23:05] <h00k> !pastebin | Ritchie_1
[23:05] <abstrakt> figured i'd ask here and see if anyone knew off the top
[23:05] <ubutom_> well, really, it takes time, gosh
[23:05] <iceroot> abstrakt: also the ones build in eeepcs (google what chipset)
[23:05] <abstrakt> iceroot: oh, nice, k thanks i'll go see what they've got for asus drivers
[23:05] <wildbat> !pb | Ritchie_1,
[23:06] <abstrakt> iceroot: built in eeepcs? not sure what "build in eeepcs" means
[23:06] <ubutom_> abstrakt, everyone needs time to buy things and if you want to make sure it works, you have to invest that time
[23:06] <abstrakt> ubutom_: yeah or i could ask to see if anyone else has invested that time and reap the benefits of their time
[23:06] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: sorry for it, I cannot really understand the slag you are using here
[23:06] <iceroot> abstrakt: 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[23:06] <abstrakt> but looks like i get to do it myself, which is fine, just wanted to find out first
[23:06] <iceroot> abstrakt: that chipset dont need restricted drivers
[23:06] <ubutom_> abstrakt, and i you do it long enough you'll have wasted more time than you would have just seeing for yourself
[23:07] <abstrakt> ubutom_: no, the issue is transportation time, so this could potentially save me hours of time
[23:07] <rgotten> Farkie: and for the webserver what do i need to install on my ubuntu server?
[23:07] <abstrakt> but A) you're preaching to the choir and B) i can go do it myself

[23:09] <evilsherpa> kjele, sorry had to assist someone, do i then sudo mount -a

[23:10] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, then copy and paste here
[23:10] <iceroot> thompa: pidgin is in the repos

[23:12] <jellow> What does this error mean on demsg http://pastebin.com/qg8nMTUA
[23:12] <iceroot> rgotten: but you need a ftp-server,dont know if the lamp packages comes with ftp-server
[23:12] <An_Ony_Moose> are tarbombs still dangerous nowadays?
[23:12] <thompa> iceroot: yea thanks i know. was trying to see if improved way. support page http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community says look for pidgin or gaim ,

[23:13] <antonio2> hi there, I have a question: let's suppose that I have a package that is present in Debian and it's present in ubuntu (distro: lucid lynx),is there any reason why the same package is *not* present in the latest ubuntu distro? (maverick)
[23:13] <kjele> evilsherpa: yes
[23:13] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, do this : sudo apt-get install pastebinit && lspci | pastebinit
[23:13] <iceroot> rgotten: its listening on your ip but you have to add the users to the ftp-group, so that they can access the system
[23:13] <evilsherpa> cool, from my brain, haha, is sudo required?
[23:13] <thompa> iceroot: getting on irc more difficult cause i dont knoew the new jargon.
[23:13] <iceroot> antonio2: #ubuntu+1

[23:16] <evilsherpa> kjele, umount /media/ipod returns nothing, im giving it some time
[23:16] <antonio2> An_Ony_Moose: yes but I'm wondering if certain packages are '''blocked''' or need to be approved before going from debian to the newest ubuntu distro, anyway I've just asked on #ubuntu+1
[23:16] <evilsherpa> kjele, ok, its completed
[23:17] <thompa> me acer u50 i3, ubuntu 64

[23:18] <kjele> evilsherpa: go to /media/ipod
[23:18] <armenb_> hello....how do i upgrade ubuntu from intrepid to jaunty on the command line?
[23:18] <evilsherpa> kjele, although on ipod there is a mount option
[23:18] <armenb_> update-manager -d wants to run in X.
[23:18] <thompa> stepstools: if u referring to me asus i3 , ubuntu 64
[23:18] <evilsherpa> kjele, i cant open it
[23:18] <dartt> bastidrazor: how...coz it also installes kubuntu...i.e. kde interface
[23:18] <evilsherpa> kjele, i think its because its mounted to /media/evils ipod, - it says its busy
[23:18] <bastidrazor> !upgrade | armenb_ follow the server directions for upgrading .. sudo do-release-upgrade
[23:19] <kjele> evilsherpa: Did you mount it with "mount /dev/sdc1 /media/ipod" ?
[23:19] <wildbat> Ritchie_1, nope just wanna know what the card was read in linux. just do ndiswrapper it should work
[23:19] <bastidrazor> dartt: it will install kde libraries but i don't think the full desktop will be installed
[23:19] <radi> which virtualbox version is best to use on ubuntu, because currently with OSE i cant make direct3d to work ?
[23:19] <thompa> dartt: i did , works great
[23:19] <evilsherpa> kjele,  i have now
[23:19] <Ritchie_1> wildbat: ok, thank you, I will try it right now..
[23:20] <dartt> thompar: how...coz it also installes kubuntu...i.e. kde interface
[23:20] <kjele> evilsherpa: And you still have the write problems?
[23:20] <gonzalo_> hi, how can I change the single click behavior of kde apps installed in gnome?
[23:20] <thompa> dartt: only thing is you may have kwallet password to deal with
[23:20] <evilsherpa> kjele,  hmm, random,. when i dbl click on /media/ipod, i get mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /media/ipod busy
[23:20] <evilsherpa> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/ipod
[23:20] <evilsherpa> kjele,  yeh it seems that the icon that its meant to be mounted to, is advising that its mounted to a mount point with the same name
[23:20] <dartt> isnt there a gnome version?
[23:21] <bastidrazor> dartt: no.
[23:21] <dartt> oh
[23:21] <spazic> i have a windows HDD (ntfs) how do i add it to my fstab so it will mount to a folder and give my user full access????
[23:21] <thompa> dartt: hmm not here. it will install some libraries and stuff
[23:21] <radi> anyone ?
[23:21] <bastidrazor> !ntfs | spazic follow the instructions
[23:21] <kjele> evilsherpa: bah you are not listening. Can you "touch /media/ipod/test" ?
[23:22] <evilsherpa> kjele, sorry, learning here, touch: cannot touch `/media/ipod/test': Permission denied
[23:22] <thompa> dartt: i run and prefer amarok on gnome, because i dont have the duplicate file problem like with rhytm,,
[23:23] <kjele> evilsherpa: Even with sudo?
[23:23] <Sagewere> Still having Wifi issues
[23:23] <dartt> are you sure it wont install kde??
[23:23] <dominicus> ls -l
[23:23] <dominicus> ls- l
[23:23] <dominicus> ls -l
[23:23] <evilsherpa> kjele, with sudo it doesnt return anything, so i guess i can
[23:24] <thompa> dartt: you wont get full kde just some files, if you dont like it you can always purge it. only small thing is kwallet if you use a password
[23:24] <bastidrazor> dartt: it will pull a bunch of kde libraries.. but not the full desktop
[23:24] <sgravn> morning
[23:24] <abstrakt> excellent advice
[23:24] <abstrakt> "go do research"
[23:24] <sgravn> anyone ever install dotclear
[23:24] <abstrakt> http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/adapters/linksys-wec600n-wirelesscard_stcVVproductId53934598VVcatId552009VVviewprod.htm#

[23:24] <dartt> ok thnx guys....installing it right now
[23:24] <evilsherpa> kjele, with "sudo touch /media/ipod/test" it doesnt return anything, so i guess i can
[23:24] <abstrakt> how the hell am i supposed to know what card to buy!
[23:24]  * abstrakt whines and cries
[23:24] <kjele> evilsherpa: just remove the file with "sudo rm /media/ipod/test" .
[23:24] <thompa> amarok is great. i cant for the life of me figure out why i got triplicates in rhtmbox
[23:24] <armenb_> bastidrazor: thanks!!
[23:24] <kjele> evilsherpa: It looks like the device has no problem at least
[23:24] <sgravn> abstrakt: trial, error, and hugh heffner's budget
[23:25] <bastidrazor> armenb_: glad i could help. best of luck
[23:25] <sgravn> thompa...because rhythmbox is weak
[23:25] <evilsherpa> kjele, is it an automount issue?
[23:25] <abstrakt> sgravn: apparently so :(
[23:25] <sgravn> but back to me, anybody ever install dotclear?
[23:25] <armenb_> bastidrazor: anything I should look out for, or is this a pretty seamless process?
[23:25] <armenb_> I'm thinking of do-release-upgrade'ing my way to the current LTS version of ubuntu
[23:25] <thompa> dartt: no but you can change theme
[23:25] <evilsherpa> kjele, i have no applications using it, that i can tell, but i cant unmount or eject it..
[23:26] <ubutom_> abstrakt, may wanna check this out, seems to be supported, and it's best buy, but no guarantee they have it in their showcase :) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/D-Link+-+Extreme-N+ExpressCard+for+Most+PC+Laptops/9809841.p?id=1218177168066&skuId=9809841&st=wireless%20card&cp=1&lp=15
[23:26] <Sagewere> Cannot connect to router using WPA, using a broadcom chipset.
[23:26] <bastidrazor> armenb_: upgrades are fickle.. some work great some do not.
[23:26] <selisium> armenb_: 10.04 is genious! I love it!
[23:26] <dominicus> Does anyone know what I have to install to mail "failsafe" work as a desktop environment? A relative bought a whole brand new computer, because they accidentally change the Default Desktop environment for their user from KDE to failsafe.
[23:26] <dartt> wat u mean thompa?? change theme?
[23:26] <thompa> dartt: rythmbox is default ..it suks imho
[23:26] <armenb_> bastidrazor: nod, ok. thanks!
[23:26] <ubutom_> abstrakt, it'S a d-link dwa 643
[23:26] <dartt> ya imho too
[23:26] <kjele> evilsherpa: strange is that you need sudo to write the file. Since FAT does not have permissions it means that you did not mount it correcly. Can you see any file there?
[23:27] <kjele> evilsherpa: ls -la /media/ipod
[23:27] <thompa> dartt: amarok made to fit in with kde desktop. it just looks different colorwise
[23:27] <sgravn> bonjour
[23:27] <abstrakt> ubutom_: how do you know it's supported? where did you find the data on that?
[23:27] <bastidrazor> dominicus: explain to them how to change it back to KDE in the login screen.
[23:27] <dartt> oh i c
[23:27] <abstrakt> i just wanna see it/double check for myself
[23:27] <ubutom_> abstrakt, google it
[23:27] <abstrakt> lol ok fine
[23:27] <ubutom_> abstrakt, itÄs listed as compatible on madwifi site
[23:28] <sgravn> okay so my problem is that the dotclear netinstall automagick keeps giving me the following error
[23:28] <thompa> dartt: just try it , no big deal, try playinh around with appearance, the only issue is that kde wallet password thing but you can just use blank
[23:28] <sgravn> for which only a handful of unhelpful forum threads in french come up on google searches
[23:28] <Lucenut> How can I verify in ubuntu if it is 32 or 64 bit?
[23:28] <kjele> evilsherpa: So use "mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/ipod" You do not see any files
[23:28] <dominicus> bastidrazor: I did. But, they hadn't used their desktop coputer in over 5 months. But, if I can either remove the failsafe option, or make the failsafe option not crash back to KDM, I would have been able to tell them what the problem was 5 months ago.
[23:28] <sgravn> "PHP Mysql functions are not available"
[23:28] <evilsherpa> kjele, yeh a whole bunch of files
[23:28] <mneptok> abstrakt: do you not have an internal PCI-E slot?
[23:28] <sgravn> or "PHP PostgreSQL functions are not available"
[23:28] <abstrakt> mneptok: ... um... laptop...
[23:28] <bastidrazor> Lucenut: in termainl type uname -m
[23:28] <thompa> Lucenut: you can check /lib
[23:28] <evilsherpa> kjele, if i use ls -la /media/ipod it shows a massive bunch of files
[23:29] <sgravn> and i don't know what else i have to do to...well make sql functions available to php
[23:29] <squaregoldfish> Lucenut: uname -a
[23:29] <thompa> Lucenut: or tht easier yeah
[23:29] <abstrakt> mneptok: i dunno, do laptops have empty pci-x slots?
[23:29] <kjele> evilsherpa: Are they related to ipod?
[23:29] <mneptok> abstrakt: yes, and i have a half-height mini-PCIE slot in my Dell
[23:29] <mary_> X is not detecting my lcd and setting the correct rez, so in xorg.conf under the Monitor section I have: 'Modeline "1024x768_60.00"   63.50  1024 1072 1176 1328  768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync' and under the Screen section under Depth 24 I have 'Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"' but when I restart I can't change to 1024x768, I don't understand why the rez won't change, anyone?

[23:30] <radi> lmao, no one here uses vbox ?
[23:30] <bastidrazor> siddhion: right click and unlock them then move them around
[23:30] <rottenrecords> is there a help channel specifically for ubuntu server?
[23:30] <nativeridge> I do
[23:30] <mneptok> abstrakt: before continuing, please see if your laptop has an internal slot
[23:30] <Lucenut> How do I "Check /lib"?
[23:30] <abstrakt> rottenrecords: probably #ubuntuserver
[23:30] <bastidrazor> rottenrecords: here and also #ubuntu-server
[23:31] <rottenrecords> thanks guys
[23:31] <thompa> lucent`only sure way for me ..check for /lib64
[23:31] <a3ist> hey folks I'm using a wiimote that's synced as an input device like a mouse, and I'm trying to figure out how to configure it (something in xmodmap?) so that it only moves the cursor when a specific button is held down.  Anyone know where to look?
[23:31] <nativeridge> but no 3D working :(
[23:31] <radi> hm
[23:31] <Lucenut> I do have a /lib a /lib32 and a /lib64 in my filesystem.
[23:31] <thompa> Lucenut: see if stuff is in there
[23:31] <radi> ill take that as no then
[23:31] <radi> because 3d do work with vbox
[23:31] <mneptok> abstrakt: does the laptop have built-in wifi?
[23:31] <abstrakt> mneptok: yes it does but it doesn't work unless i install restricted drivers
[23:31] <bastidrazor> Lucenut: why don't you ask the real question?
[23:31] <nativeridge> doesn't recognize my card
[23:31] <abstrakt> mneptok: and i need internet access to do that :(
[23:31] <mneptok> abstrakt: so it may be a card. please check.

[23:32] <thompa> Lucenut: check contents of /lib64 .. should be stuff
[23:32] <radi> NativeAngels, i presume you dont know what to do
[23:32] <Lucenut> What is the real question?
[23:32] <radi> anyway ...
[23:32] <mouse> Can I move the /home directory to another internal harddrive and if so what's the best way?
[23:32] <BrixSat> abstrakt:  how do i install?
[23:32] <bastidrazor> BrixSat: yes, installing ubuntu-restricted-extras normally works for most
[23:32] <abstrakt> BrixSat: it may be better to run the 32 bit firefox+flash instead, but yes they do have 64 bit
[23:32] <abstrakt> !flash @ BrixSat
[23:32] <Lucenut> I'm trying to decide which eclipse version to install.
[23:32] <kjele> mouse: Check out dd
[23:32] <suislide> who wants to help me figure out my Gyachi problem?
[23:32] <Lucenut> But I'm in a VM.
[23:32] <mneptok> BrixSat: there is a PPA with the 64bit beta Flash plugin
[23:32] <radi> !BirtualBox
[23:33] <radi> !VirtualBox
[23:33] <Lucenut> My windows OS is 64 bit we are running in.
[23:33] <evilsherpa> kjele, evilsherpa@evilsherpa-desktop:~$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/ipod  i see no files
[23:33] <BrixSat> i cant use the 32bits is does not install
[23:33] <mary_> can someone please help me with my resolution Lucid won't let me change it
[23:33] <kjele> evilsherpa: Can you write anything?
[23:33] <kjele> evilsherpa: witht the touch command
[23:33] <mouse> kjele, What's dd?
[23:33] <ubutom_> abstrakt, don't know, but you could buy it and try it, if it doesn't work out of the box you can always bring it back and settle for another card
[23:33] <edbian> mary_, What kind of video card do you have?
[23:33] <kjele> mouse: A command
[23:33] <abstrakt> ubutom_: yeah i guess so... it's not that expensive, so i guess it's worth a shot
[23:33] <Lucenut> So I have contents in my /lib32 and in my /lib64. Does that tell me if the install is 32 or 64 bit?
[23:34] <xangua> BrixSat: https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/%2Barchive/flash ppa for flash 64
[23:34] <mouse> kjele, k
[23:34] <mneptok> abstrakt: if you'll look and see if you have mini-PCIE in that Vostro, i can give you a guaranteed working solution.
[23:34] <mary_> edbian, ati rage and I ran xorg -configure so I have a working xorg.conf with the card added in it
[23:34] <p1oooop> wow, lotta people :)
[23:34] <abstrakt> mneptok: aight hold on one sec
[23:34] <abstrakt> p1oooop: yes welcome to #ubuntu
[23:34] <Sagewere> Ok, cannot connect to wifi. WIFI using WPA
[23:34] <evilsherpa> kjele, touch test threw back no errors
[23:34] <edbian> mary_, What does xrandr --current say about your screen resolution?
[23:34] <p1oooop> would anyone know a good, 2.6.20 compatable version of udev?
[23:34] <p1oooop> just wondering
[23:34] <kjele> evilsherpa: can you see the file there?
[23:35] <abstrakt> mneptok: you mean like this: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1520/en/sm/minicard.htm#wp1180289
[23:35] <abstrakt> mneptok: ?
[23:35] <mneptok> abstrakt: they look like this. http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/media/sonnet_aria_extreme_n_mini-pcie_card.jpg on my Inspiron it's behind a panel on the bottom
[23:35] <evilsherpa> kjele, indeed i can
[23:35] <siddhion> bastidrazor I can not select the individual icons to move them..i can only unlock the whole bar
[23:35] <mary_> edbian, here's my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/FqCXh6zb
[23:35] <kjele> evilsherpa: And what does "df" or "mount" say whether it is mounted?
[23:35] <mneptok> abstrakt: Dell page is still loading ....
[23:35] <mary_> edbian, ok let me check
[23:35] <abstrakt> mneptok: yeah, liek this panel? http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1520/en/sm/minicard.htm#wp1180289
[23:36] <abstrakt> mneptok: oh ok, well then it sounds about like the same thing

[23:36] <abstrakt> my dell wireless A) doesn't work without restricted (non-free) drivers, and it's not Wireless-N compatible
[23:36] <abstrakt> so if i can just buy a mini-card that *will* work then hell yeah

[23:36] <mary_> edbian, http://pastebin.com/jteMPSFg
[23:36] <kjele> evilsherpa: the command df
[23:37] <edbian> mary_, BRB
[23:37] <edbian> hold that thought!
[23:37] <mary_> edbian, ok
[23:37] <Exxon> hi
[23:37] <a3ist> anyone know a good tutorial or reference guide for modifying xmodmap (besides the man pages)?  Trying to make a mouse-like input device (wiimote) only move the pointer when a specific key is held.
[23:37] <evilsherpa> kjele, df /dev/sdc1 or df /media/ipod?
[23:37] <kjele> evilsherpa: just df
[23:38] <mneptok> abstrakt: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-4965AG-Wireless-miniPCI-Express/dp/B002L3P4T6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1276123050&sr=8-2  <---- that's what you want
[23:38] <vinic> i just used the pendrivelinux.com usb installer to put 10.04 on a usb stick. when i boot up it brings me to the installer boot menu fine. when i select either to run from the stick of install ubuntu to a hard disk it will quickly scroll through some loading text and then the screen goes black and never comes back up
[23:38] <Exxon> can some one help! regarding configuration of tor.
[23:38]  * mneptok wonders about that URLs contents
[23:38] <mneptok> "musical-instruments?"
[23:39] <histo> vinic: just use the ubuntu version to create a usb stick
[23:39] <evilsherpa> kjele, http://www.pastebin.org/322201
[23:39] <histo> vinic: system > admin > startup disk creator
[23:39] <Lucenut> When I type "uname -m" it says x86_64. That means I'm 64 bit?
[23:39] <abstrakt> mneptok: grrr, best buy doesn't seem to have any miniPCI-cards
[23:39] <vinic> the problem is i'm running fedora
[23:40] <mneptok> abstrakt: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Wireless-WiFi-Link-4965AGN/dp/B000RFPBQQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1276123158&sr=8-6  <--- if you want draft-N
[23:40] <abstrakt> mneptok: so, thank you very much for the idea, i'll probably go with this, only one last question: any idea how to find a store in NYC that i can just walk into and buy one?
[23:40] <abstrakt> mneptok: ahh, indeed i do want N
[23:40] <monokrome> Hey. I have installed Ubuntu Server 3 times now, and it fails every time installing grub
[23:40] <monokrome> failed command: READ DMA EXT
[23:41] <mneptok> abstrakt: no idea. Chinatown electronics stores?
[23:41] <abstrakt> mneptok: ahhh, chinatown
[23:41] <abstrakt> yeah good idea
[23:41] <mneptok> abstrakt: be aware, i specifically gave you Intel-chipset cards. it avoids the issue you have now.
[23:41] <abstrakt> mneptok: you mean needing restricted drivers?
[23:41] <mneptok> abstrakt: make sure you know you're getting an Intel 4965A/G/N
[23:41] <evilsherpa> kjele, is it meant to be mounted twice?
[23:41] <abstrakt> mneptok: i mean i don't care what the chipset is as long as i don't need restricted drivers
[23:42] <mneptok> abstrakt: and you will not with Intel
[23:42] <brandon> join ##hardawre
[23:42] <brandon> oops
[23:42] <abstrakt> mneptok: ok then
[23:42] <abstrakt> such a decision, i need this to happen like by tomorrow
[23:42] <abstrakt> so i can have it for the weekend
[23:42] <abstrakt> ideally have it by friday
[23:42] <abstrakt> which is why i need to be able to just walk into a store and they have it
[23:42] <mneptok> abstrakt: Intel 4965 A/G/N. take your existing mini-PCIE with you so you know the correct form factor.
[23:42] <abstrakt> k
[23:42] <edbian_> mary_, I'm back
[23:43] <mneptok> abstrakt: Amazon does overnight shipping ....
[23:43] <lucenut_> How do I install a program like Eclipse in ubuntu?
[23:43] <edbian_> mary_, Now what did xrandr --current  say?
[23:43] <mary_> I can't believe with an ati rage card and a run of the mill LCD Lucid won't detect the correct rez
[23:43] <mary_> edbian_, wb
[23:43] <abstrakt> mneptok: hell i'll just bring my laptop with me :)
[23:43] <mary_> edbian, http://pastebin.com/jteMPSFg
[23:43] <Exxon> some one please help! http://pastebin.com/JXAr9VGr
[23:43] <mneptok> abstrakt: most stores will not help you open it.
[23:43] <edbian_> mary_, :)  thanks
[23:43] <lucenut_> I downloaded a tar.gz then extracted it to the desktop.
[23:44] <mneptok> abstrakt: "We'd be liable for any damage. We do not permit that in our store."
[23:44] <lucenut_> What the heck do I do with it now?
[23:44] <tertl3> lucent, what is it?
[23:44] <evilsherpa> kjele, ok, is it meant to have 2 mount points?
[23:44] <mneptok> !info eclipse
[23:44] <abstrakt> yeah i don't care
[23:44] <bastidrazor> lucenut_: where did you download it from?
[23:44] <abstrakt> i just want to be able to try plugging it in
[23:44] <craig_> quit
[23:44] <abstrakt> and see if it works before i buy it
[23:44] <bastidrazor> lucenut_: or install the package
[23:44] <abstrakt> my warranty is already void
[23:44] <lucenut_> From eclipse.org
[23:44] <siddhion> how does one pin certain icons in the panel to the right side? all of mine have gotten pinned to the left side. moving them does not work. they all just stay on the left side in a long row.
[23:44] <monokrome> Is there a way to boot into the newly installed system with the install CD?
[23:44] <mneptok> lucenut_: use the repos.
[23:44] <edbian_> mary_, According to xrandr the driver is limiting you to 800x600
[23:44] <tertl3> lucenut_: the IDE?
[23:45] <lucenut_> Correct.
[23:45] <tertl3> ganymede?
[23:45] <mary_> edbian_, yes I know hehe
[23:45] <kad__> how i can ripped my Windows cd to an iso on ubuntu? i need it to install virtual pc's thx
[23:45] <Exxon> hey guys ! i need some help http://pastebin.com/JXAr9VGr
[23:45] <lucenut_> I just don't know how to install a program on ubuntu. (newb)
[23:45] <mary_> edbian_, what the heck why won't an ati rage work better, I thought X support it well
[23:45] <edbian_> mary_, Have you tried other drivers?
[23:45]  * mneptok tootles off
[23:45] <tertl3> lucenut_: package manager
[23:45] <lucenut_> No just Eclipse classic.
[23:45] <bastidrazor> !synaptic | lucenut_
[23:45] <tertl3> lucenut_: are you gonna write some code?
[23:46] <mary_> edbian_, no not sure what the rage uses other then  Driver      "r128"
[23:46] <edbian_> mary_, It does.  Cut the system some slack.  It found an open source driver that makes the card work at all.  Now we just need to tell it about one that's better.  Windows or Mac wouldn't have even found this driver
[23:46] <edbian_> mary_, Good point, try searching synaptic for "rage <whateverNumberYouHave."
[23:46] <mary_> edbian_, ok
[23:46] <edbian_> s/./>
[23:46] <edbian_> mary_, I'll google it
[23:46] <edbian_> mary_, What's the name of the card?
[23:46] <mary_> ati rage
[23:47] <tomi05> dbdg
[23:47] <edbian_> mary_, There's no number?
[23:47] <Fish-Face> Hi, I have tried turning off Mouse Keys, but when I press a key on my number pad (which is actuall Fn+Something else on this laptop) the cursor moves, rather than printing the number
[23:47] <lucenut_> tertl3, I do write code in Eclipse.
[23:47] <lucenut_> I have just always done it on windows.
[23:47] <Exxon> :(
[23:47] <edbian_> mary_, ati rage 128 ?
[23:47] <bastidrazor> Fish-Face: ctrl+alt+shift+num lock  should stop that behavior
[23:48] <mary_> edbian_, ATI Rage 128 Pro 32mb pci card
[23:48] <radi> NativeAngels, ive just enabled direct3d
[23:48] <radi> now im gonna go for opengl :P
[23:49] <Fish-Face> basti2, that goes some of the way, but I don't get the number printed if I do Fn+Key without the numlock on... Still an improvement though - what's going on there?
[23:49] <Fish-Face> bastidrazor, *
[23:49] <edbian_> mary_, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
[23:49] <edbian_> mary_, What does it say??
[23:49] <mary_> edbian_, what does what say?
[23:49] <bastidrazor> Fish-Face: no idea, i notice it on my 9.04 box. i'm hoping  an upgrad to 10.04 will fix. just haven't had the time to upgrade
[23:49] <Fish-Face> I'm on 10.04 :/
[23:49] <edbian_> mary_, Provides the "ati" driver.  I'm curious if it's already installed.
[23:50] <bastidrazor> Fish-Face: :\
[23:50] <lucenut_> Crap, I don't understand this package manager.
[23:50] <edbian_> mary_, What does what say? > I'm curious if apt-get says that that package is already installed.
[23:50] <edbian_> lucenut_, What's the problem?
[23:50] <lucenut_> Is the eclipse I downloaded supposed to be in the list here?
[23:50] <ne7work> how time i need to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 ?
[23:50] <mary_> edbian_, I think Ubuntu installs the ati x driver by default, that's why I didn't consider it, let me look
[23:50] <edbian_> lucenut_, In what list?  How did you download eclipse?
[23:51] <edbian_> mary_, Well you said it's using r128 right?  Have you tried the ati driver?
[23:51] <lucenut_> I downloaded a .tar.gz and extracted it to the desktop.
[23:51] <edbian_> mary_, Hopefully one of these two work.  I doubt there is a third.
[23:51] <histo> lucenut_: well thats not using the package manager
[23:51] <IdleOne> edbian_: you pinged me a couple times?
[23:51] <lucenut_> I went to the eclipse.org website and clicked on the link for x64 linux.
[23:51] <histo> lucenut_: why not use the one in the repo?
[23:51] <edbian_> lucenut_, Then the package manager won't know about it.  That's called downloading compiling and installing from source.  The package manager won't know about it.
[23:51] <lucenut_> OK, now I have the package managedr open like someone said to...
[23:51] <edbian_> IdleOne, I did?
[23:51] <histo> lucenut_: search for eclipse
[23:52] <edbian_> IdleOne, If I did it was an accident.  Maybe my client did it?
[23:52] <mary_> edbian_, yes it's installed
[23:52] <histo> lucenut_: and click install
[23:52] <histo> !software | lucenut_
[23:52] <IdleOne> edbian_: may I msg you?
[23:52] <edbian_> IdleOne, yes
[23:52] <ne7work> how time i need to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 ?
[23:52] <mary_> edbian_, yeah it's using r128, let me try ati and see how that works
[23:53] <bastidrazor> ne7work: that depends on your internet speed. probably 30minutes with a decent bandwidth
[23:53] <ratonn> someone can help me in a Algol58 code?
[23:53] <edbian_> mary_, sudo modprobe ati
[23:53] <edbian_> mary_, Although I've been told you need to modprobe it and restart because video drivers are so low level.
[23:53] <Daekdroom> Where can I activate Crtl + Alt + Backspace as a key combination to restart X?
[23:53] <mary_> edbian_, Module ati not found.
[23:53] <bastidrazor> !dontzap | Daekdroom
[23:53] <edbian_> mary_, what?
[23:54] <edbian_> mary_, Try this: sudo modprobe radeon
[23:54] <mary_> k
[23:54] <ryannn> Hii, I need some help - Java won't work, I've tried installing it from several places and java things such as games still won't work. I'm using chromium and running in Lucid.
[23:54] <mary_> edbian_, ok
[23:54] <bastidrazor> Daekdroom: alt sysreq k do that same thing
[23:54] <edbian_> mary_, I just read some more about that package.  Turns out "ati" is just a wrapper for one of the these: "radeon, r128, or mach64"
[23:54] <edbian_> mary_, :/
[23:54] <mary_> ahhh
[23:54] <ratonn> ryannn go for firefox!
[23:55] <ryannn> ratonn, doesn't work in firefox, either.
[23:55] <mary_> yeah no such thing as ati I remember seeing radeon gets listed
[23:55] <mary_> so what the heck why won't r128 work?
[23:55] <edbian_> mary_, yeah, I've seen ati on other distros
[23:55] <edbian_> mary_, modprobe r128 doesn't work?
[23:55] <edbian_> mary_, what happened with modprobe radeon ?
[23:56] <mary_> modprobe radeon worked
[23:56] <tomi05> uyyuuu
[23:56] <mary_> modprobe r128 works
[23:56] <edbian_> mary_, worked as in: it loaded the module, or worked as in: it solved your problem completely
[23:56] <mary_> loaded it ran the cmd
[23:57] <edbian_> mary_, There is also the fglrx module, which is the proprietary from the ati people.  Not sure how to get it.  Just try modprobe fglrx, I'm not even sure it works with your card
[23:57] <mary_> let me log out
[23:57] <mary_> edbian_, brb
[23:57] <edbian_> mary_, As tedious as it is remember you have to modprobe each module and reboot for it to totally take effect.  Modprobe basically says to the system "next time, use this module"
[23:57] <edbian_> damn
[23:58] <vinic> histo: i used startup disk creator on my netbook installation. on boot it displays a nice purple background with some icons in the lower third, then the screen goes back and never comes back. i used the "Discarded on shutdown, unless you save them elsewhere" option during creation
[23:59] <Piranah> Any updates on the random freezing with Ubuntu 10.04 ? Im still trying to figure out if this is kernal related vs network related vs filesystem relates as are many on the forums
