connermcdKalEl: Here is a website with information on editing your fstab - http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html00:00
KrisDouglasSylbot, there is a chance if you had a third party driver installed, it will need recompiling after an update00:00
deventio7ubutom: it has a 100% connection apparently, and when connected to an external network adapter the ping is much better00:00
sylbotBrianE, what?00:00
sylbothow do i tell00:00
soadkombuchaJordan_U: I still cannot connect. I'm going to reboot into windows for now, and then I'll try to figure this out later. Thank you VERY much for all the help you've been giving me00:00
Jordan_Usoadkombucha: The dialog that comes up should have the correct encryption type for the network selected by default00:00
KrisDouglasSylbot, do you have an Nvidia, intel or ATI card?00:00
deventio7ubutom: it's probably a problem with the hardware then, right?00:00
connermcdFlomaster: What do you mean?00:00
sylbotKrisDouglas, yes00:01
soadkombuchaJordan_U: It didn't pull any networks.00:01
BrianEsylbot: You'd probably notice if it was; items on the screen would look unusually large00:01
KrisDouglaswhich one00:01
sylbotKrisDouglas, Nvida GTX 26000:01
bithuntersylbot, did you install dkms or updated the kernel without it?00:01
Jordan_Usoadkombucha: You're welcome.00:01
KalElconnermcd, thanks... strange - my fstab only has two entries although i have numerous partitions, all available on Places00:01
soadkombuchaJordan_U: That's my problem. I'll just try again later. Thank you for all the help, hopefully when I go over to my friend's later he can help me with this.00:01
sylbotbithunter, i don't know00:01
ubutomdeventio7, could be many things, have you tried what happens if the ipod touchs wireless is off?00:01
sylbotBrianE, no nothing is large00:01
KrisDouglasok, sylbot, most likely you need to go download the latest linux driver, and follow the instructions given to install it, it's quite simple00:01
KalElconnermcd, ntfs partitions are not there in fstab00:01
KrisDouglassylbot, http://download.nvidia.com00:01
sylbotKrisDouglas, I have the latest driver00:01
BrianEsylbot: There's not much I can do to help you, to be honest... If all else fails, I presume you also have an onboard graphics card? You could try checking your BIOS settings to make sure your GTX260 is set as the primary card...00:02
KrisDouglasok00:02
=== administrator is now known as Guest51711
BrianEsylbot: Because that output suggests that the GTX260 isn't being used :-\00:02
sylbotBrianE, I don't have one00:02
sylbotThe system can "see" it00:02
sylbotthe GTX00:02
KrisDouglasbut you are not getting acceleration?00:02
connermcdKalEl: In synaptic, or by apt-get you can install a little tool written in python, called "Pysdm"00:03
connermcd(Python Storage Device Manager).00:03
Flomasterconnermcd:  when downloading large files from megaupload they are often broken into several pieces say 40 200mb pieces I need to take all 40 URLs and drop them into a download manager so it downloads one after another00:03
bithuntersylbot, please pastebin the output of lsmod also00:03
BrianEDo you see 'NVIDIA X Server Settings' under System -> Administration, sylbot?00:03
connermcdKalEl: Then "System->Administration->Storage Device Manager"00:03
KrisDouglasGuys, is it possible to turn off the "has joined" and "has quit" messages?00:03
sylbotBrianE, no00:03
KalElconnermcd, sounds good, will try out00:03
BrianEStrange, it was installed when I activated my NVIDIA driver... Could be relevant00:04
KrisDouglasSylbot - driver isn't installed00:04
ubutomKrisDouglas, in xchat right click the channel tab and select hide join/part messages, in other clients there are commands for that00:04
sylbothttp://pastebin.com/86PUEUA300:04
KrisDouglasi'm using Smuxi00:04
genoskillwheres a irc tutorial or guide00:04
BrianEsylbot: The driver isn't installed00:04
kostkonFlomaster, install Tucan00:05
_schism_hey guys can you watch netflix on ubuntu? looking through google now and I am a bit confused00:05
BrianEsylbot: Go back into Hardware Drivers, make sure it's activated, and that you have definitely restarted (the restart isn't optional, the driver -will not- be active without restarting)00:05
connermcdFlomaster: Don't know anything off hand... will look around for you00:05
tic^KrisDouglas: read the help file?00:05
Flomastersudo apt-get install tucan  ?????????00:05
sylbotOne sec, uploading screenie00:05
bithuntersylbot, no nvidia prop driver is running.. you run on nouveau drivers00:05
Keith-BlindUserI was curious what the Dmesg output in Ubuntu means when it mentions "booting paravirtualized kernel on bair hardware?"00:05

BrianEGuys / sylbot: This isn't to advertise it, but could you use something like http://www.burn-blue.com for images/pastes? Some of the services you're all using are dire, especially that yfrog sylbot just used =-\00:08
Psi-JackI understand that OpenVZ support has been long since removed from Ubuntu since after Ubuntu 8.04, but word around says it was being replaced with LXC. Does Ubuntu 10.04 have LXC support to run LXC containers?00:08

KalElthis is quite strange - fstab has no mention of the mount points offered at Places menu. is fstab obsolete now? how do i ensure other users do not read/write to these partitions?00:12
genoskillFlannel: ok00:12
IamReckuh oh, partitioning.00:12
Keith-BlindUserI'm curous if #Ubuntu frequently gets spammers? I once got a random DCC request when someone attempted to send something to port 0 when I logged in with mIRC on Windows once.00:12
KrisDouglasi have come to the conclusion that Smuxi irc client is not very good00:12
* KrisDouglas is switching to Xchat00:12
Keith-BlindUserChrisDouglas: Try the pidgon program.00:12
Keith-BlindUserIt has a nice IRC interface.00:13
acperkinsKrisDouglas: ironically, I have just done the opposite00:13
Keith-BlindUserand multi protocol support00:13
yahshuacan someone tell me an easy user friendly firwall program for ubuntu 10.0400:13
Keith-BlindUserTry Ufw00:13
BrianEKrisDouglas: Use 'xchat', not 'xchat-gnome' - It's much cleaner IMO00:13
Jordan_Uyahshua: gufw is pretty good00:13
xorwhyxchat-gnome is contaminated i concur00:13
BrianEyahshua: I liked Firestarter00:13
sylbothow do i restart the x server00:13
KrisDouglasacperkins I find the lack of features, which I use regularly annoying00:13
KrisDouglasand thanks briane, i am installing the full xchat00:14
yahshuajordan_u  briane i am completly novice to this00:14
yahshuawhich one00:14
yahshuaand can u step me through00:14
bithunteryahshua, firestarter is pretty easy to use00:14
KalEltrue, don't see the point of xchat-gnome - even the documentation says that though all configs are present in the file, they have been removed from ui to create xchat-gnome!00:14
BrianEFirestarter is nice, simple and clean :)00:14
gelacacineKeith-BlindUser: I get WARNING: /dev/sda1 is block device, but you are not root and ntfsmount is not set-uid-root, so using 'blkdev' option is not possible. This is not recommended.00:14
gelacacineAccess is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.00:14
gelacacineThe volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which00:14
gelacacinecould be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.00:14
gelacacineYou can use force option to avoid this check, but this is not recommended00:14

Keith-BlindUserI think that firewalls are a subjective disscussion. What works for one might not work for another, etc.00:14
acperkinsKrisDouglas: which features did you find were missing? today is my first using it so I would be interested in what you felt was lacking.00:14
KrisDouglasacperkins, hiding the join/quit messages, file xfer00:15
yahshuabithunter how do i get and install firestarter00:15
BrianEKeith-BlindUser: Are you really blind? And using IRC? Kudos if you are00:15
Keith-BlindUserYep.00:15
Keith-BlindUserBlind as a bat.00:15
Keith-BlindUserNo trouble using iRC>00:15
BrianEKeith-BlindUser: Screenreader?00:15
connermcdBrail translator USB connection00:15
Keith-BlindUserI'm a pretty good touch-typest, actually. It doesn't mean that I"m perfect, but I do know how ot type despite not having vision. I've ever got Ubuntu talking with Orca.00:15
Keith-BlindUserWoops.. :) I meant to. :D00:16
BrianEKeith-BlindUser: Much respect, that's rather... admirable, in an odd way00:16
Keith-BlindUserOn a windows machine presently, but yes I'm still able to use Linux. The only problem with Ubuntu apps and  the Orca screen reader/magnifyer, is that the applications must be written in GTK.00:16
bithunteryahshua, sudo apt-get install firestarter00:16
IamReckWohoo flash crashed X!00:17
sylbotHow do I restart the X server00:17
collectekweird ... I am running streamtuner and use shoutcast .... now it is not loading any streams.....what could have changed/can fix this .... hmm00:17
IamReckCtrl Alt Backspace sylbot00:17
Keith-BlindUserSo if firestarter for isntance, or SKype, or other QT3 apps come into play with Orca, QT3 is badly inaccessible to the blind.00:17
Flomasterkostkon: I have it installed, but where I input my megaupload info i have my user name, my password, and an enable spot all need to be filled out i am not sure what to type in the enable spot00:17
BrianEIamReck: That was disabled by default in Ubuntu 10.0400:17
KrisDouglasRighto, transfer complete, back to familiar ground :)00:17
BrianEIamReck / sylbot: Don't use CTRL+ALT+Backspace, use ALT+PrintScr+k00:17
IamReckBrianE, really?  Coincidently I'm upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 tonight.00:17
connermcdKalEl: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20586200:17
KrisDouglasBrianE- what's the difference?00:17
IamReckBrianE, does that work on 9.10 also?00:17
BrianEIamReck: Mm, there's some package that re-enables it, but it's disabled by default00:18
BrianEThere is no difference, IIRC, both restart X00:18
KrisDouglasoh00:18
IamReckAnyone out there using a Dell XPS m1330 with 10.04 and Windows 7 Dual Booting?00:18
kostkonFlomaster, view → prefs → service configuration, select the megaupload plugin and then press the info button00:18
Keith-BlindUserI'm curious how you sighted folks hear in #Ubuntu manage to keep up with the trafic on IRC? TO me it's loads of speech messages. Somebuddy has quit IRC, this person has joineed #Ubuntu, etc.00:18
KrisDouglasiamreck, I am single booting a 153000:18

mewayHello whats a command to remove .example extention from all files in one folder?00:19
IamReckKrisDouglas, more worried about Dual Booting it, heard murmurs of some issues.00:19
bazhangKeith-BlindUser, which client? you can shut that off00:19
BrianEKeith-BlindUser: You quickly adapt to filtering through the text for what's relevant / important, it's not as difficult as you'd imagine :)00:19
IamReckrm *.example00:19
KrisDouglasIamReck, when i was dualbooting, it was flawless00:19
IamReckThanks, KrisDouglas00:19
BrianEKeith-BlindUser: Have you always been blind?00:19
Keith-BlindUserYep00:19
Flomasterman I searched all over google looking for suck a program and didn't see any links pointing to Tucan00:19
Keith-BlindUserActually00:20
BrianEThat sucks :-\00:20
KrisDouglasthe only reason I am not dualing is because 10.04 is perfect for me, dont need windows now00:20
yahshuabithunter can u tell me an anti-spyware00:20
KalElthanks connermcd. i remember it was not like that with the previous version of ubuntu. i will try to create the fstab on my own and see if it's working. i don't quite like the idea of mount points magically working for a normal user with no mention at fstab...00:20
Psi-JackSuck a program, eh? ;)00:20
kostkonFlomaster, :)00:20
Keith-BlindUserThe most accesible client I have found for the Orca screen reading program under Ubuntu is the Pidgon client. I'm using a accessible modified Ubuntu Lucid project called VInux. Have you folks heard of that project?00:20
IamReckKrisDouglas, I'm considering single booting, but occasionally i need Windows 7 for things I can't do in a VM.00:20
BrianEyahshua: I don't really like to say this, but Ubuntu isn't like Windows -- You won't need an "anti-Spyware" application, nor an antivirus, nor a firewall for the usage you're thinking of00:20
KrisDouglasIamReck, yeah i was the same :)00:20
* Flomaster gives kostkon a ice cold beer 00:20
connermcdKalEl: I agree, but I suppose it makes sense... If someone has physical access to your machine they can get to the partitions one way or anothers (live USB)00:20

kostkonFlomaster, thanx!00:21
Psi-Jackhiexpo: Hey, he said it! :)00:21
Keith-BlindUserVinux, google for it. You'll like it. It's intended to make Ubuntu a bit more accessible to people with visual impairments. :)00:21
yahshuawell why do some linux platforms come with anti spyware installed like pclinux os00:21
Keith-BlindUserAnd specific tweeks not available in Ubuntu by default such as Orca automatically coming up, where as the user must make it do so in Ubuntu, etc.00:21
SlidingHornyahshua: as it stands, you really don't need an AV program, but if you want to protect your windows-using friends that are not necessarily as bright as they should be when it comes to opening files, you can...just to make sure you dont send them anything bad00:22
IamReckKrisDouglas, Thanks! Just debating whether or not to do the upgrade tonight, and whether or not to reformat my /home directory and bring it up to shiny new ext4 in stead of ext200:22
Keith-BlindUserWait..00:22
Psi-JackErr, well, Flomaster did anyway. heh00:22
Keith-BlindUserYour using ext2! Isn't that a slow file system?00:22
BrianEIamReck: You're still using Ext2?! Format it with Ext4, it's shiny and has cookies :-P00:22
Keith-BlindUserALl I have to say about that is Youch.00:22
yahshuaand if i accidentaly give permission to a prgram to run it could be spyware00:22
KrisDouglasIn the early days I was having EXT4 issues, but now, it is working more than perfectly. All my NAS's at work work perfectly too00:22
connermcdKalEl: NTFS partitions can have a password ON THE PARTITION, but externally there's not a lot of purpose in forbidding users access00:22
KrisDouglashighly, highly recommend ext400:22
FlomasterPsi-Jack: say what?00:22
CaptainTrekIamReck:  definitely bring it up to Ext4, it might not really work with Ext2 and 10.04. at least not well00:23

KalElconnermcd, BrianE, i think based on the link that connermcd sent - probably if i create the fstab entries myself, and don't grant everyone permission, then nautilus will not auto mount them. i will have to experiment this once i wake up... it's 5am - i will hit the bed00:32

hiexpolucid bug hmmmmmmmmmm never ever heaed of that00:38
kr3wubutom: system volume information can also be found on win drives which don't have an OS install00:38
rascal999but, we've determined it's a nautilus issue because ls is relatively instant00:38
ubutomkr3w, that'S what I said, an empty partition or drive00:39
gelacacineubutom, yes, rather, i only have 3 partitions, (that one was /dev/sda1 which was my large windows partition), /dev/sda2 is too small to be the partition, and sda3 is linux (according to f-disk)00:39
durtrascal999, if there's a large number of small files in it then yes it will take a long time, are you running anything writing a large numer of files to that dir?00:39
ubutomgelacacine, your windows partition should be /dev/sda1/00:39
kr3wubutom: if there is data but no OS, you treat that as empty?00:39
hiexpomaybe i am safe on karmic    :)00:39
Gneakr3w: in looking at the manpage for growisofs, there is a section that explains where to look for such answers. Have you looked at the source code?00:39
rascal999durt: looks like it's the thumbs for the avi's in my home that's causing the slow down00:40
kr3wGnea: no because i wouldn't understand it00:40
ubutomkr3w, if you consider system volume information as data...00:40
Gneakr3w: right, because comments written in english explain nothing...00:40
durtrascal999, thats a rational reason then.00:40
gelacacinekr3w, does that mean my windows partition no longer has windows installed?00:40

kmullinsHey, I just did a clean install of v10.04 and am only able to get the installer and the live CD to run using the noapic and acpi=off options. However, GRUB 2 didn't save those options. I tried to manually edit <hard drive>/etc/default/grub and added those options but it didn't seem to affect anything. I'm not sure how to run the "update-grub" from the Live CD to affect my installed partition01:26

ubutomsabqat9, you can'T use 64 bit if the processor doesn't support it01:28

ZelozelosDmstrdj, you will need some advanced partition settings then, but im not knowledgeable enough to help w that, do you have plenty of free space within both partitions, if so try and srink one of thme, grow the other, then split the enlarged one for ubuntu...good luck w that all OH and dont forget to defrag n everything 1st01:35
CaptainTrek_2: then i dont know what's going on, sorry.01:35
hoontekeDmstrdj: it's my guess that Vista didn't clean up after itself on a boot or to.  You may be able to boot to Vista, schedule a disk check of some kind, reboot *again*, then shut down after it's done it's business01:35
_2CaptainTrek i think i know.   gksu/do uses user name "root" doesn't it ?01:36

ubutomoren, hm, does it let you choose some?01:37
orenubutom: no01:37
hoontekeoren: and did it find any drivers to automatically install?  If not, it's my guess that jockey-gtk doesn't know how to do it.  If that's the case, you may have to go download the linux driver direct from nvidia's website01:37
Dmstrdjand trying gparted now but stil locked01:37
wildbatDmstrdj, so it freeze up?01:38

rwwhufx: dean_ is no longer in the channel01:59
ubutomsiddhion, and have you entered that key you mentioned?01:59
goplexianI'm having a problem with a zip file not unzipping, I know the archive is valid since it matches the md5sum value01:59
JackWaughgoplexian, are you using the archive manager with gnome?02:00
goplexianbut when I do `unzip file.zip` I get End-of-central-directory signature not found.02:00
JackWaughgoplexian, hmm, maybe you have a hosed-up zip file.02:00
goplexianJackWaugh, I'm using unzip, when I use file-roller it hangs for like 3 minutes then comes back and tells me it cant extract. The file in question is about 9gb in size02:01
hoontekedoes anyone know how to use chromium-browser with --user-data-dir (i.e. profiles), and register an instance with the desktop so that when I click a hyperlink in other appliciations (e.g. thunderbird, pidgin) it opens a new tab instead of trying to open the default chromium profile?02:01
siddhionubutom so I noticed that at the get go I am disconnected. so I click the Network Wireless Icon and a pop up window appears saying "Unlock Keyring" at first I thought I had to enter that 20 bit hex key... but eventually I realized that this window jsut wanted my Ubuntu password that I created during installation. After I entered that password I start up Firefox02:01
goplexianJackWaugh, I've downloaded it twice, and both times it matches the md5sum so I do not think it is a problem with the file, as I said it is a 9 gig file02:01
ubutomsiddhion, and did it work?02:01
ubutomsiddhion, not sure about that keyring thing, I don't use it02:02
DaSkreechHello02:02
hoontekegoplexian: are you sure that the version of unzip you have can handle a file that size?02:02
dean_hi02:02
DaSkreechTrying to find out how I can find out if someone has run a script with sudo02:02
JackWaughgoplexian, maybe whoever published the file made a bad zip, then took the checksum, and published that as well.  So that would mean you're getting a good download of a bad file that someone published that way.02:03
DaSkreechFrom inside of the script02:03
dean_I need to to no how to make dosbox window larger02:03
goplexianhoonteke, no I'm not sure about that02:03
milesdquick one: i deleted my swap partition and made a new one, now i need to know if i can just change one line in fstab or if i need to do more than that - anyone?02:03
dean_Or even full screen that would work02:03
unopgoplexian, does unzip give you an error?02:03
usr13hoonteke: rww Ok, thanks, guys... Well, Just as I suspected, I've done a kernel update but hastily opted for the default of keeping current menu.lst and so I'm not running the latest updated kernel.02:03

tim__can anyone tell me how to create a launcher that will start up the xfce4-terminal and automatically change directories?02:04
hoontekemilesd: yes, a single line in fstab should do it02:04
Flanneldean_: Please stop02:04
dean_Or virus's for that matte02:04
hoontekemilesd: though note that it wont' take effect until you reboot02:04
siddhionubutom I turned off offline mode thinking that it would work but nothing...then i clicked the "Problem Loading Page " button and a pop-up came up saying "Wireless Network Authentication Required". This is the window that shows  my ""Wireless Security: WPA & WPA2 Personal"" and below that it shows ""Password:  (here i enter that 20bit hex key)""02:04
dean_Its a really good OS02:04
hoontekeunless you work some shell magic02:04
hoontekemilesd: which I could run you through, but I'd rather you just rebooted02:04

evilsherpadean, to change chat channels, type "/join #channel_name"02:06
goplexianBasically it says that unzip thinks it is part of a multi-disk archive, but that it can't find the rest of the disks, but its not, its just a single file.02:06
hufxdean_: only rook kilers02:06
ubutomsiddhion, it does it for some seconds and then connects02:06
evilsherpaFlannel, im a bit slow on the uiptake there02:06
Psi-Jackdean_: That's not exactly the /REASON/ it can't. Linux has had viruses in the past, but none of them are effective anymore02:06
Flannelevilsherpa: No worries02:06
hoontekemilesd: then just the /dev/sda2 is fine.  the UUID is meant for administrators and power users who have to do this stuff via scripts.  For one off jobs, /dev/sda2 (or whatever your partition is) is just fine.02:07
dean_So whats the topic ?02:07

distaticaHey folks, I'm trying to set a cron that runs every 5 minutes, I add the following to /etc/crontab and restart cron service: */5 * * * * python /var/www/fnnation_server_monitor/manage.py checkserver however after 5 minutes+ the email that should be sent isn't. When I run the same command from the command line, no problems.02:07
milesdhoonteke: i know you can can run swapon or so, i'll just reboot. I'm just not sure if I need to put that long string of id number in the fstab swap line, or if i can just put sda2, which is my swap partition02:07
distaticaany other steps I need?02:07
siddhionubutom ok because mine never stops that animation...makes sense since i can not connect...constantly it tries to connect02:07
evilsherpajust pulled an awesome double of Kenyan "aa" i need to try to get this hdd cranking02:07
milesdhoonteke: oops, sry, missed your last02:07
evilsherpai appear to have an additional hdd that isnt showing up in system02:07
ubutomsiddhion, try restarting your wireless router, might work02:08
hoontekeevilsherpa: that may be if you have a hardware raid controller02:08
milesdthanks i get it now - sort of :) but i'll be OK02:08
siddhionubutom so when i run System Monitor ...Network History is a dead flat line...no activity there02:08
goplexianI've downloaded this file in the past, and it has worked, and now I've downloaded it twice and it doesn't work, I'm getting frustrated with this. Anyone have some unzip magic for me? Or are there alternative unzip back-ends that I could try?02:08
orenhoonteke: i see 6200 on this list -02:08
klandwehrsiddhion I assumed you entered your wireless network password02:08

ubutomsiddhion, if its not connected thats no wonder02:08
evilsherpahoonteke, i think i do, but i havent enabled it, this happened after i swapped out some hdds and did a clean install02:08
orenhoonteke: do u think i can install this?02:08
Fongyhoonteke - thank you for your help mate02:09
hoontekeoren: yes.02:09
siddhionklandwehr you mean the 20 bit password?02:09
Fongyi will keep doing some research02:09
orenhoonteke: ok.02:09
hoontekeFongy: np.  sounds good02:09
siddhionubutom right02:09
Fongycya all!02:09
hoontekeyou'll soon be the expert for others, Fongy02:09
Fongyi hope so :P02:09
ubutomsiddhion, go to netwrok connections in system - settings and make the connection available for every user, so you won't need to enter a key for keyring anymore02:09
hoontekeevilsherpa: hmm, well, without being an expert in this area, I usually have to individually figure out what's going on02:09
unoptim__, my guess is you could try adjusting  $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/Terminal/terminalrc  - the rc file for xfce4-terminal to get it to cd to the dir you want02:09
kurtisCan someone take a look at this page (it's small) and tell me what it means by "update Linux kernel from lucid-updates" for 10.04?02:09

pepePluguys any regexp tester? but gui not command line02:11

ubutomsiddhion, as a matter of fact, yeah, I have, just 2 days ago with my laptop which had this usb-stick to connect ;)02:16
siddhionubutom so would say that my wireless card is healthy? i figure it is since it is seeing my wireless network02:16
unoppepePlu,  have a search yourself with.    apt-cache search "regular expression"    or  even  apt-cache search regular | grep -i expression02:16

Zoffix_How do I bring up that window where I can select ALSA, Pulse, etc for the sound?02:18
LinuxWayi have a alsa question to:)02:18
ubutomsiddhion, could be, but there is also the chance it is because of the key, you might want to try to set up yourself another one02:18
LinuxWaythis one i don know02:18
LinuxWay't02:19
siddhionubutom interesting idea....how would i go about doing that? is there a guide online?02:19
LinuxWaybut i like to know to:)02:19
ubutomsiddhion, I also experienced some problems when I just used a really, really long key consisting of characters and numbers, it just didn't work with that, so I used a short sentence and didn'T have that much problems then02:19
LinuxWaywhere are the alsa specialist?02:20
Zoffix_LinuxWay, just ask your question, man.02:20
LinuxWayok02:20
LinuxWayi have a 1212m02:20
LinuxWayinstalked alsa drivers02:20
LinuxWaybut now i don;t see my headset and mic anymore02:21
ubutomsiddhion, I'm sure there are several guides out there, however, maybe you can also ask the people who sold you the hardware, sicne they have set it up02:21
LinuxWaywhen i instaled ubuntu it was the other way around02:21
ubutomsiddhion, I think there are also some password-generators in the web02:21
LinuxWayso how do i make/get my headset back?02:22
LinuxWayanyone?:P)02:24
LinuxWay:)02:24
Zoffix_Maaan.. I wanna watch a movie...  >_< I can't believe I'm having a Windows-like problem on a Linux box :(*02:24
ubutomsiddhion, I'm not sure if the password was just wrong that I picked, or if it was too ling and the router couldn't handle it because of that :)02:24
bastid_raZor!medibuntu > Zoffix_ this fixes things for most02:24
ubottuZoffix_, please see my private message02:24
ubutom*ling = long02:24
Zoffix_bastid_raZor, I doubt that is it. I have all the packages installed and my system worked fine until an hour ago. Now all of a sudden the sound is gone :S02:25
norm_Zoffix: I just reboot when I lose my audio like that02:26
Zoffix_norm_, I rebooted once already hoping it would fix it :)02:26
siddhionubutom  so it could be the password i have is not being processed? that is so bizarre02:26
Zoffix_Hmr..I think I'll try another reboot...02:27
ubutomsiddhion, well, some hardware isn't what it claims to be...02:27
siddhionubutom and you are talking about my router?02:27
ubutomsiddhion, no, in general, just because hardware has a feature on paper doesn't mean it always can really perform it.02:28
anigmahow come ubuntu doesn't come with a root password by default?02:29
ubutomanigma, sudo is used for that02:29
hufxanigma: the root pw is your user pw02:29
ubutomanigma, and you can also always set one02:29
siddhionubutom  so i basically the simplest way to resolve this would be to contact my ISP and have them come and change the HEX key?02:29
unopanigma, it's a design decision.02:30
IdleOne!root | anigma02:30
ubottuanigma: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo02:30
JackWaughanigma, there isn't very often a need to actually log in as root.02:30
unophufx, that's not correct.02:30
pepePluunop kiki is the best that i found so far02:30
unoppepePlu, nice02:30
banker247i permaroot02:30
hufxunop: please explain!02:30
siddhionubutom i would really rather take this issue on by myself since i can not communicate with them since they speak different language than me.02:30
JackWaughubottu, sounds like Zen.02:30
ubottuError: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)02:30
mgolischhufx: ubuntu has the root account disabled so the root pw cant be your user password02:31
ubutomsiddhion, I don't know, could cost something, do you have a password for your routers web configuration?02:31
=== SailorReality is now known as dfada
ZoffixDidn't help.... Also, if I openup ``gstreamer-properties'' and select Alsa for output and hit "Test" the app freezes. What could it mean?02:31
wildbatanyone have idea, how to fix the system alert sound with compiz ? it seem if i am using compiz, it made some of the sound disappear(e.g. backspace while the inputbox is empty), but metacity work prefect with the sound theme.02:31
hufxunop: well ok but from a user point of view its the same02:31
mgolischhufx: its more like that in ubuntus default config users of the admn group can run stuff using sudo by providing their user passwords02:31
unophufx, the root account is locked by default, it can be unlocked and given a password - but that's not recommended. when you use sudo, it asks for _your_ password not root's password and elevates you up to superuser.02:31
siddhionubutom i do not know what you mean by "routers web configuration".02:31
ubutomsiddhion, can you maybe set another key with some windows-dial-in software or where that hex key is stored?02:32
unophufx, why should it be? and it isn't.02:32
ubutomsiddhion, most routers can be accessed through an ip in your lan, via browser, there you can change passwords, security settings, turn firewall on and off and so on02:33

siddhionubutom i understand what you mean....polish. i am in poland.02:34

JackWaughsiddhion, you're living in Poland and you don't speak Polsky?02:35
siddhionubutom so the only way to access my router's web configuration would be to have them come then. right? or is there a way out of this?02:35
siddhionubutom yeah, i never took to the language... though i should have forced myself to learn it....02:35

connermcdsiddhion right click on your connection icon then click connection information and find the IP of default route02:36
ubutomsiddhion, you could need a password to enter the web-configuration02:36
ubutomsiddhion, did they not give you any manuals?02:36
connermcdsiddhion the put that IP into a browser, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 depends what it is02:36
siddhionubutom cant i just call them up and they can give it to me?02:37
connermcdsiddhion default un/pw is usually admin/admin depending on router type... you can google the type of router to find the default pass for the model02:37
connermcdal7bar what do you need?02:37

connermcdsiddhion ubutom is right... many routers have a reset button on the bottom or side that you can press and hold down with a pen or needle to reset the device to its factory defaults02:40
ubutomsiddhion, yeah, there is on most routers a switch you need a sharp thing to press, a pen or a needle or anything else that fits in and press it a fey seconds02:40

linux_is_my_heroyup reading now :-)02:47
unophufx, if you're asking how it is sudo elevates a user to root (and other users). it's because /usr/bin/sudo is owned by root and is setuid root - meaning that this utility always runs a process under the root account and therefore is able to spawn other process under root (or other users).02:47

linux_is_my_heroconnermcd: "an error occurred.  cannot read from resource"02:48
siddhionconnermcd ubutom they never gave me a manual or CD for the router...02:49
linux_is_my_heroconnermcd: thats what it says when i try to play my dvd02:49
connermcdsiddhion have you tried admin for the username and admin for the pass?02:49
connermcdlinux_is_my_hero did you download and install the libdvdcss2 package?02:49
ubutomsiddhion, and what about the details about your line? no number and password to use for ppp?02:49
ubutomsiddhion, and please don't write it in the channel ;D02:50
siddhionconnermcd admin/admin did not work....i honestly do not know what i have ....i know it is not DSL because its not coming in through a phone line...an ethernet cable plugs into the router....it travels up to the roof of our building and connects to a little white antenna02:51
connermcdsiddhion then it should be fine to reset the device02:51
connermcdsiddhion then you can use admin/admin and it should work02:51
linux_is_my_heroconnermcd: it says its already installed02:52
siddhionubutom what line? my connection? i dont know what ppp is.02:52
connermcdsiddhion afterwhich you will be able to go through a setup wizard and make a new username and password02:52
ubutomsiddhion, so you have Wireless LAN Bridge maybe?02:52
linux_is_my_heroit can read things on the disc (the autorun, the folders, etc....)02:52
hufxunop: whats the diff between  owned by root and  setuid root (if its not too OT)02:52
siddhionconnermcd but when i reset the device how do i get back online?02:52
ubutomsiddhion, point to point protocol I think, it's how people connect with their Digital Subscriber Line, but sionce you have a roof-antenna...02:53
connermcdsiddhion you will go to that IP(192.168.1.1) then go through the setup wizard... it will automatically figure stuff out02:53
connermcdsiddhion be advised02:53
siddhionconnermcd i see. is there any risk that i will not get back online?02:53
ubutomconnermcd, siddhion but the configuration the isp did will vanish and if siddhion doesn't know it he can't set it back02:53
connermcdsiddhion you must be connected to the router with an ethernet cable02:53
whiskishould be able to do a hardware reset if you f* things up02:53
unophufx, well, something is said to be "setuid root" if it is owned by root and has the setuid ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid ) bit set i.e. with say  chmod u+s02:54
rwwhufx: setuid means that if you're a normal user and run it, it'll run with root privileges anyway02:54
connermcdsiddhion and ubutom is right... there is a risk that the ISP has specific settings... but generally not the case02:54
unophufx, setuid ensures that the process runs under the account that owns the file - so if you change the owner to say "nobody" - the executable runs under nobody02:54
unoprww, errm, not really - but yea, practically that's almost always the case.02:55
siddhionconnermcd so the safer way would be to conntact the ISP and just get the username and password ...correct?02:55
connermcdlinux_is_my_hero a reboot may be necessary after installing the libdvdcss2 package02:55
rwwunop: yes, I missed the word "root" in there.02:55
connermcdsiddhion yes, that is the safest thing to do02:55
ubutomconnermcd, siddhion, well, if they don't use encryption nothing will happen, but if they do the configuration will be gone and so the onternet02:55

siddhionconnermcd ubutom  so once i get the username and password i should use 192.168.1.1 to access the router and then what?02:58

siddhionconnermcd well i am trying to get online with my Ubuntu 10.04 fresh install02:59
hufxunop: hence my questions02:59
D3RGPS31Any recent blogs about setting up a bootable/installable 10.04 on a usb stick?02:59
unophufx, indeed - it's a double-edged sword. it's dangerous and exploits can take advantage of it - but it's also necessary - like with allowing sudo to do it's job -- sudo actually complains if it is not setuid root.02:59
ubutomsiddhion, then you should be able to set your own WPA2 key and try if it works then, you also have to set the new key then in windows02:59
siddhionconnermcd the Network Icon is in constant animation mode...attempting to connect but it can never do it02:59
connermcdsiddhion oh... well I dunno who was pointing you to your router... I came into this conversation late... are you connecting wired or wirelessly?02:59
siddhionconnermcd wirelessly02:59
ubutomsiddhion, but maybe it will be easier to get some assistence on the wpa-key setting in ubuntu03:00
connermcdlinux_is_my_hero so you downloaded the package from that page, ran the script, and rebooted your machine?03:00
siddhionubutom ok03:00
linux_is_my_heroi didnt reboot, ill try that.03:00
siddhionubutom you mean by openning "Netwoirk Connections"03:00
connermcdsiddhion what ubutom said... now I see why he was pointing you to the router03:00
ubutomconnermcd, problem is the wpa2 key doesn't work when entered in ubuntu so we are not sure if it is the right one03:00
ubutomsiddhion, they have to have some kind of admin who can guide you trhough the setup03:01
connermcdsiddhion if you're using a computer that's working wirelessly and is running vista or 7 I believe there is a way to view the working passcode03:01
siddhionubutom well i jsut downlaoded a program called wirelesskeyview-x64 and reacquired the key and compared it to the one i had written a few months ago...it is the same one03:01

siddhionubutom ok i will consider03:04
unophufx, setuid is not a property given to a user. it's a property given to an executable file on the file system. Any user who invokes a "setuid root" executable actually invokes a process running as root (and therefore able to do anything on the system) -- which is why safeguards (like the sudoers file) are needed.03:04

connermcdsiddhion Only thing I can think is reboot and make sure you're typing the password correctly... wouldn't hurt to try that again03:08
siddhionconnermcd so since my wireless card is healthy then it must be my router that is ill , right?03:08

HermanDEenav, Yep...  First really big question....  Do you want local systems or store everything on the server?04:10
enavwell i guess local and remote04:11
HermanDEenav, Local System....  Each client has all applications installed...  And management means going to each system and updating/configuring....04:11
HermanDEenav, Remote Client....  Everything is on the server....  Make a change on the server...  And it immediately affects all users......04:12

luceroALL04:17
luceroHI04:17
enavthat means that LDAP can apply administrative templates and policies to user just like M$ ActiveDirectory does?04:17
HermanDEenav, One is directly hooked into the Windows system.  The other does not know the proper API for Windows.....04:17
rafaelsoaresbrhello, doesn't ubuntu have g77 anymore? to work with netbeans04:18
HermanDEenav, That is simply strange.....  LDAP does not contain templates....  That is a Microsoft API thing.....04:18

HermanDEtycel, I've started a love affair with DNSMASQ....04:43
HermanDEtycel, Are you running a public DNS?04:43
Gneane7work_: ^^^04:43
datzhi, I can access my network share of my ubuntu install on my windows box, but not on my other ubuntu box, do I need to configure something. I get "unable to mount location"04:43
ne7work_Gnea, I uninstall mine network-manager with sudo apt-get remove network-manager04:43
tycelI'm not sure whatcha mean?:)04:43
ne7work_this is the problem?04:43
HermanDEtycel, Is your DNS server within your local lan....  Only accessable to you...  Or is it publicly accessable?04:44
tycelpublic is my guess04:44
ne7work_i'm with real static ip with pppoe04:44
tycelconsidering im running it off a VPS04:45
HermanDEtycel, Good choice...  DNSMASQ is more for local DNSs...04:45
Gneane7work_: yes, that is the problem. you should be able to use wicd or networkmanager to handle a static ip with pppoe. personally, I prefer wicd.04:45

mdg2need to determine what driver it needs since ndiswrapper didn't work04:57
edjfcefcjfI don't care if it won't work, I just want it to be recognizable04:58
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, Google for rt2570....04:58
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, That looks like the proper driver....04:58
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, without NDIS wrappers....04:59
edjfcefcjf....herman I said I don't care if it won't work, drivers won't work if I can't find it04:59
edjfcefcjfI've tried that doesn't work anyway04:59

Kane_Hartok must be my dmz then thanks05:04
mdg2edjfcefcjf: look at this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=137711205:04
HermanDEmdg2, That would do it....  :)05:05
bastid_raZortoolbear: like in gnome-terminal i press ctrl T and have another terminal window.. also i have an alias al = source ~/.bashrc  .. i don't think there is an automatic way05:05
edjfcefcjfHerman nope and what?05:05
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, Plug your usb device in.....05:05
edjfcefcjfSigh05:05
edjfcefcjfIT IS05:05
mdg2HermanDE: you have same adapter as edjfcefcjf ?05:05
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, do an lsmod.....  Look for "rt2500usb"05:05
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, lsmod | grep "rt2500usb"05:06
edjfcefcjfYes look up rutilt and maybe we could move on05:06
edjfcefcjfIf it can't detect a wireless adapter I doubt the same driver from another source would05:06
toolbearbastid_raZor: well, no, that doesn't seem to source .bashrc.  that's my problem05:06
toolbearbastid_raZor: er, that's what i meant by "automatic"05:07
mdg2edjfcefcjf: you are clearly frustrated - I feel your pain05:07
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, It looks like it *may* be selecting the wrong driver....05:07
mdg2edjfcefcjf: you need the rt2570sta driver - we were trying to verify that rt2500usb is loading or not05:07
edjfcefcjfHerman nothing but ndiswrapper is somehow running05:07
edjfcefcjfMdg2 I can't download anything05:08
Nick_Meisterso i looked it up my mobo has SIS 648fx chipset and i googled it but i am not getting anywhere cause nothing seems to be about sound05:08
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, It is looking for a windows driver.....  Kill the ndiswrapper....05:08
mdg2edjfcefcjf: again, I feel you pain.  But at this point you should have everything you need - just need to make sure which driver you setup is trying to use05:08
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=137711205:09
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, That is a possible solution.... care of mdg205:09
edjfcefcjfMdg2 I want ubuntus driver no ralink05:09
edjfcefcjfHerman how does one kill it?05:09
mdg2rt2570 is in ubuntu05:09
mdg2rt2570/rt2570sta05:10
edjfcefcjfOkay, I just want it to recognize my card then05:10
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, killall ndiswrapper  (as root)05:10
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, I've never run ndiswrapper so the spelling might be off...05:10
mdg2edjfcefcjf: when you say card - you mean usb wifi adapter or something else?05:10
edjfcefcjfHerman no process05:10
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, ps aux | grep "ndis"05:10
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper stop05:11
thune3toolbear: are you sure .bashrc isn't getting sourced. add like something like ' echo "BASHRC SOURCED" ' to your bashrc file05:11
mdg2HermanDE: he should just uninstall ndiswrapper - ya think?05:11
HermanDEmdg2, Sure......05:11
HermanDEmdg2, I'm all about command line....  So he might be trying to run in the GUI....05:12
bastid_raZortoolbear: do you have a .bash_profile or .profile ?05:12

edjfcefcjfnow how do I make ifconfig detect it?05:14
mdg2edjfcefcjf: if you can use syantpic, uninstall ndiswrapper05:14
edjfcefcjfMdg2 its been completely removed before I even connected here05:14
mdg2edjfcefcjf: ifconfig needs the correct driver installed first05:14
mdg2edjfcefcjf: ndiswrapper?  I thought you just killed it?05:15
HermanDEsamantha-c, That looks cool....  Might be a specialized xen......05:15

HermanDEedjfcefcjf, What is still there?05:25
mdg2edjfcefcjf: you need the windows .inf file for ndiswrapper to work05:25
mdg2not the linux driver05:25
HermanDEmdg2, As well as the binaries....05:25
edjfcefcjfNdiswrapper and I have the windows one05:26
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, I'll bet that ndis wrappers is still installed.....05:26
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, And took over the device....05:26
mdg2edjfcefcjf: you have the windows .inf file for your wifi adapter?05:26
mdg2edjfcefcjf: then you need to blacklist all Rt2xxx drivers again05:26
HermanDEmdg2, Just the rt2500usb05:27
edjfcefcjfWHAT? Why would I do that05:27
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, Just blacklist the rt2500usb05:27
edjfcefcjfApparently you guys didn't hear the part about me just wanting ifconfig to see wlan005:27
mdg2edjfcefcjf: ndiswrapper used the windows driver = *.inf file - that's what ndiswrapper means05:27
edjfcefcjfYes I don't want ndiswrapper05:28
mdg2rt2570sta is a linux driver05:28
edjfcefcjfSeriously guys I didn't think it was this hard05:28
mdg2edjfcefcjf: its actually not that hard ...:)05:28
edjfcefcjfApparently it is mdg205:28
edjfcefcjfI mean why would you blacklist a driver that's not even installed05:29
mdg2edjfcefcjf: so you either want to use the windows driver *inf file with ndiswrapper or you want the linux driver without ndiswrapper05:29
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, To keep it from attempting to install/prior to the proper driver.....05:29
edjfcefcjfI don't have ndiswrapper I don't have ndiswrapper-utils and I don't have ndiswrapper-common05:29

RandBrittain...but now I add it again and it works. I don't know why.05:31
mdg2edjfcefcjf: to rule out the possibility it would try to control your adapter05:32
HermanDEedjfcefcjf, sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 --purge05:32
edjfcefcjfDUDE I SAID I DON'T WANT NDISWRAPPER05:32
RandBrittainOh, well. Second question. Windows 7 made some kind of 100MB partition that seems to be full of boot things. Now that I'm using Ubuntu's bootloader can I remove that partition for simplicity?05:32
mdg2edjfcefcjf: that's unstalling ndiswrapper so it can't be used05:32

mdg2edjfcefcjf: no, I never went there :)05:57
bastid_raZoredjfcefcjf: your != you are05:57
edjfcefcjfOk well I have a feeling ill have better luck looking through my drivers05:57
mdg2edjfcefcjf: thing is, the rt2xxx series wifi adapters have at least two different chips they use05:57
edjfcefcjfBastid I'm on a phone I know my grammar05:58
mdg2edjfcefcjf: that's why its best to check the id # of the adapter,which you can get from lsusb05:58
mdg2edjfcefcjf: from that number you determine the driver needed and then can modprobe or blacklist whatever is needed06:00
edjfcefcjfWhen I look in my drivers I see kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt25007!+:*906:01
edjfcefcjf2500usb.ko sorry06:01
edjfcefcjfShould I have that mdg2?06:01
mdg2edjfcefcjf: rt2x00 is part of rt2500, plus there are other drivers in the rt2x00 series06:02
edjfcefcjfWait hold on I might have figured it out06:03

HammertonJohn. In synaptics did you do a refresh so it redownloads all the packages?06:37
mdg2John__: did you let the updates run?  Like 130 or so to download06:37
lintits not a bug though06:37
Jordan_Usalil: Yes, it shouldn't be in a place like your home directory because even if the file itself is owned by root, since the directory it's in is not (and the sticky bit is not set), someone without root prieleges could gain them by rming it and writing their own in its place06:38
John__mdg2: no06:38
darttHowDoI, ah...but i hv seen ppl using complete transparent panels in screenshots....06:38
FireCrotchI'm having a weird problem with Firefox.  When trying to choose a file for upload on any website, when I select a file and click OK, it sticks a completely different file (from the same directory) into the upload box06:38
mdg2John__: you should let it update first before adding06:38
salilJordan_U: Thanks06:38
=== Guest9621 is now known as stonehinge
Jordan_Usalil: You're welcome.06:38
HowDoIdartt, also, it seems that by default, Ubuntu forces you to do things their way, and if you want to do things like making panels transparent, you have to edit things the hard way06:38
anthonyhey guy's what is the content of the recovery disk of the ubuntu 10.04.06:39
John__bastid_raZor: http://pastebin.com/sYWRCQUX06:39
darttHowDoI, hmmm...so there is no apparent solution for this?06:39
mdg2John__: then click the "search" icon on the right side of the synaptic window to search for things you want to add, not the Quick Search box06:39
lintdartt: make sure your colo0rs match06:39
John__mdg2: k06:39
darttlint, colors match?06:39
HowDoIdartt, yes there is.  The default Ubuntu theme apparently does not support transparent panels.  File a bug report.  In the mean time, find a new theme you like on say, www.gnome-look.org, or edit the theme yourself06:40

doormat81I've been trying to find a solution for this for at least a year and my question is usually ignored.  Nothing I've found on Google has worked: how do I adjust the speed of my mouse's scroll wheel??  In Firefox especially it is WAY too fast.  One click of the wheel and a page and a half flies by!  I've tried changing the settings in about:config to no avail.  It's the same issue in every other Gnome program too.06:43

HowDoIdartt, the problem is that different parts of the panel are themed individually.  The theme-writers for those themes have made images for the background of the indicator applet, clock, etc. and themed them each.  The panel background preferences where you set transparency only themes the very farthest back background.  The icons, etc get color still06:47

doormat81codebrainz, I don't have a Synaptics device (assuming that's the manufacturer's name).06:48
salilJordan_U: How do you make that "[OK]" and "[fail]" show up when you do a /etc/init.d/<script> start  or stop?06:48
no-name-ok :)06:48
HowDoIdartt, if none of the included  themes are doing what you want, you have to find another theme online, or create/modify one yourself.  That's how the people did it in the screenshots you've seen06:48
darttHowDoI,ok...buddy thnx alot...i hv decided tat i wil not use transparency :)06:49
codebrainzdoormat81, prolly work anyway.  also under about:config there is mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines06:49
codebrainzdoormat81, set it to false and specify the num of lines you want06:49
HowDoIdartt, also you'll probably be bummed to find out that even then the panel isn't truly transparent.  If you move a window behind it, it will not show up.  Only the background is blended with the "transparent" panel.06:49
darttHowDoI,O.O nice observation06:50
doormat81codebrainz, I tried that in Firefox but it didn't change anything.  As far as gsynaptics goes, there is no entry in my xorg.conf file for "InputDevice"06:50

rwwjsquared: it's more stable than 9.10 was for me :\07:56
jsquaredProbably just my computer being lame. Ubuntu is awesome in general.07:56
codebrainzjsquared, i haven't used it as thoroughly as the last version, but haven't had any issues, everything "just worked" with this version07:56
codebrainzexcept for the UI changes that are lame07:56
Sam_Fisherjsquared, I did have to reinstall from scratch on a uograde in place on the laptop but that was likely my fault from constant tweaking07:56
jsquaredcodebrainz: I've tweaked the hell out of gnome so it just grabbed all my settings and I don't really see the UI changes.07:57
jsquaredcodebrainz: I assume you're talking about things like the window buttons being on the left, etc.07:57

jsquaredSam_Fisher: I had similar problems, dist-upgrade was angry at me :P Also, had to install a much newer update of nvidia-glx than I had before, and that made things very cranky until I updated my xconfig to make it play nice07:59

grindcheers codebrainz08:16
Sam_Fishercodebrainz, I don't see any benefit to it either but from reading it is better cleaner programing08:16
jsquaredSlart: "*" means "match zero or more characters of this kind", so that will always work08:16
jsquaredSlart: (because it can just match zero characters twice)08:16
codebrainzSam_Fisher, it's "better" but the way it's configured now is more for programmers than users. .. imho08:17
jsquaredSlart: "+" means "match this character at least once"08:17

Dr_WillisRegular expressions Fundamentals. :) well ok not fundamentals.. but its somthign  that a Lot of people forget about the + and * differances08:17

Sam_Fishercodebrainz, I agree! I can't wait for it to be easier to understand by mortals. And when it breaks holy shit what a mess! I spent hours here with Grub victims!08:18
jsquaredThat's surprising. It's not like "+" is a particularly advanced/powerful feature08:18
jsquaredin fact it's a subset of "*", which is already there08:18
codebrainzSam_Fisher, what it needs is a GUI to configure it, i think08:18
wise_crypt!language Sam_Fisher08:19
Slartjsquared: this works nicely, can't think of anything it doesn't handle.. except upper case/lower case stuff     echo "abla bla blaa blaa bla blo blo" | grep '\<\([a-z]*\) \1\>'08:19
jsquarederr08:20
jsquaredwhat's the <> for?08:20
Slartjsquared: it's a word ending symbol.. it matches spaces, beginning/end of string, newline and such08:20
codebrainzSam_Fisher, I'm starting to think extlinux (syslinux) should be the default.  much easier to configure/understand08:20
jsquaredWTF, really? I've never heard of that as a regex matching symbol.08:21

Dr_Willisanirvana:  you need to determine your exact wirless chipset. and what files you will need.  the hardware-manager tool might help in that area08:31

codebrainzakaustav, you probably hosed your partition table/filesystem.  I'd re-partition the whole disk and restore data from the backups I'm sure you made.  Please ask the channel again though, i could be wrong08:35
Dr_Willisthedestructor__:  you can spend days and weeks playing with conky configs. when in doubt look at and dissect the examples out there08:35
Sammael_XQuick question: Ubuntu partitioner isnt picking up my HD for installation, yet Gparted, when run from the same liveCD, picks it up - ideas? Using 9.10 live cd.08:36
codebrainzkrashed, you could try just using vesa drivers or something,or use the open source drivers, or get a different card08:37
akaustavOk codebrainz. Can any one help me figure out why I am getting 'invalid file system' error along with 'grub restore >' at the bootup?08:37
codebrainzakaustav, cuz you foobar'd your partition table and or filesystem likely, so grub is like wtf!?08:37
Dr_Willisgrub cant find any files it needs. :)08:38
akaustavcodebrainz: So, I understand I have to tell grub to rescan my file system again.08:38
codebrainzakaustav, try booting from a livecd and fixing grub08:39
codebrainzakaustav, see Internet for documentation on this08:39
akaustavcodebrainz: Ok.08:39
codebrainzI can't ethically say "google" something because it implies I support google and I do not.08:39
Sammael_XAnyone have any idea why the installer doesn't pick up my sata drives in 9.10, yet gparted sees them just fine?08:40
binarymeSammaul_X: does the drive have windows on it?08:41
Sammael_Xnope, all free space08:41
binarymepartionsed?08:41
Sammael_XJust wiped it with gparted off the same livecd that refuses to see it08:41
codebrainzSammael_X, what if you boot the live cd and click Install icon on desktop?08:42
Sammael_Xwithin the same session08:42
codebrainzah08:42
Sammael_Xcodebrainz: Thats where I am08:42
Sammael_XIn the installer, which doesnt see it, yet gparted does08:42
Sammael_Xweird08:42
codebrainzSammael_X, and you tried rebooting?08:42
Sammael_XHm, will give that a shot - just seems kinda odd08:43
Sammael_X<- no stranger to linux in general, just though the installer might have been fubared08:43
blahl08:43
codebrainzSammael_X, might have to do with it not having a partition table in the mbr or something?08:43
Sammael_XThought it strange that gparted sees it inside the same session08:43
manuel_Is there any way I can save the settings on EasyStroke and Invest panel so I can load them when I reformat instead of inputting all the commands back in all over again?08:43
Dr_WillisSammael_X:  ive seen others in here with similer issues. Nto sure what causes it. but theres proberly some forum posts on the topic08:43
Sammael_Xcodebrainz: In other Ubuntu installs I have done, the installer picks it up regardless of whether the disk has OSes, or just partitions, or nothing at all on it08:44
Sammael_XWhich is why I am stumped08:44
binarymeSammaul_X: sometimes the installed refuses to see blank drives.  put a ext4 partition on it and then retry08:44
airtonixmanuel_, copy the conf files from your home folder? also next install make a separate partition for your home folder so you dont have to do this every time you want to reinstall08:44
Sammael_Xbinaryme: That will be the next step, should the reboot fail08:45
Dr_WillisSammael_X:  ive seen cases where after repartitioning a HD you need to reboot for the new partition layout to be seen properly.08:45
binarymeSammaul_X: I have seen this a few times, generally adding a fresh partion helps.08:45
Sammael_XDr_Willis: I can understand that, but one would think it would have seen it in its original config as well, before I removed the partitions08:46

unopRickRaven, let's keep the conversation here -- so other people can contribute...10:14

brickyhow would I back up my xorg.conf and restore it easily?10:15
unopRickRaven, SECURE_PATH ensures that PATH is reset to the default (as per /etc/profile) before sudo tries to run the command you give it --- this is to stop someone/malware from loading a bad directory in your PATH and possibly doing something disastrous.10:15

Dr_Willisbricky:  copy it somewhere, copy it back to restore10:17
zougunop, so if we change the PATH it wont make that change happen when we sudo something?10:17
unopRickRaven, example. people like doing this often ''sudo bash'' ... but if i created some malware (let's call it bash too) and placed it in your homedirectory, I can get it to affect PATH like this.  PATH="~/:$PATH" .. so the next time you go to run ''sudo bash'',   ~/bash is invoked and all your credit cards are mine...10:18

wootbut, what11:13
wootuarks11:13
binarymeok, then they will need to be on different subnets, or you will need some kind of load ballancing setup, like a dedicate dual WAN router11:14

airtonixMixxit, i've no idea how to make it continue from the interupted position.11:22
steffanbricky: what is the problem?11:22
nmvictorMixxit: why, is that you only option?11:22
binarymewoot, ok, if each card works ok, then it's probably a conflict because you are try to use two IPs on one subnet....  this won't work without special config or hardware11:22
brickysteffan i'm having a hard time with my wireless driver, ill send a screenshot11:22
Mixxitbecause to start again would be another 200mb11:22
brickyrather, ill post11:23
airtonixMixxit, i dont think you can continue on from interupted point... i would just wait and get the proper install cd iso when you have a real internet connection.11:23
wootbinaryme: okay, so i gotta try this out, the driver issue shall i fix it and when yes will there be trouble? i know my luck ;/11:23
Mixxitthanks anyway11:23
nmvictorMixxit: but i thought the installer is placing the dowloaded files somewhere on your system, i doubt if it will have to download again11:24

gothenburg:p11:39
ShapeShifter499I have a ton of questions, but I'll start with this, I have this old computer, a Dell Inspiron 2500 with 128 mb ram, 10 gb hard drive, and a Pentium III processor that I saved from e-waste and I plan to turn it into a file, print, and maybe an web server.... I am currently trying to get the printer to work....but I think no matter the OS it still requires BOTH a b/w cartridge and color...11:39
ShapeShifter499...cartridge before it will print....I can't tell11:39
MoopzI have a question. Is it possible to get the gnome version for netbooks on a regular ubuntu install?11:39
Pirate_Hunteris there a way when sending files (scp) on the lan to cap the bandwidth on the system11:39
ShapeShifter499The printer in question is an Canon Pixma iP260011:40
thune3ShapeShifter499: do you have an empty you can plug in? maybe this will suppress the error condition?11:41
icerootis there a default shortcut for mouse-button three? (paste what is selected)11:41
ShapeShifter499thune3: thats the problem.11:41

echosystmhi guys11:45
echosystmwhen i installed ubuntu, it said it couldnt find a network controller11:45
echosystmwhen i made it autodetect, it found it11:46
echosystmand it installed fine11:46
ShapeShifter499thune3: I do know that on a windows comp I have it kept giving an color cartridge error.....saying it wasn't plugged in OR was defective, and the only options were to cancel printing or get more info on what cartridges to buy11:46
echosystmnow that ive rebooted, it cant find the card again11:46
echosystmwhat can i do to make it autodetect the card again?11:46
anonymouse_echosystm, what card is it?11:46
echosystmi dont know11:47
echosystmsome mitsubishi thing11:47
anonymouse_echosystm, try lspci11:47
anonymouse_echosystm, to find out that card you have11:47
silnerI couldn't find any instructions just now Moopz but I's be surprised if it can't be done11:47
echosystm"diamond voice 56 combo"11:47
echosystmit has a 56k modem and ethernet card in one11:48
ShapeShifter499thune3: how long do you think I've got before the current b/w cartridge I have drys up?11:48
thune3ShapeShifter499: no way to guess how long11:48
Moopzsilner, I was unable to find any as well. I'm checking out whether they're on the official theme packs11:48
echosystmanonymouse_, when i lspci, the winmodem comes up11:48
echosystmbut thats all i can see11:48
ShapeShifter499thune3: I'm afraid that it wont last a month11:48
echosystmi know this definitely works, because it was downloading some stuff during installation11:49
echosystmand the apt cache has been updated et.c11:49
thune3ShapeShifter499: can you launch xfprint or xfprint411:49
ShapeShifter499thune3: xfprint?11:49
ShapeShifter499thune3: I don't think they are installed11:50
thune3ShapeShifter499: you are on xfce if i remember, and i think this is the printing config utility, but i could be wrong11:50
anonymouse_echosystm, yeah I don't think it has anything to do with the NIC itself, it sounds like a bug11:50
Moopzsilner: Doesn't seem like it.11:50
ShapeShifter499thune3: oh one sec, I should be able to start it through alt-f2 OR terminal right?11:50
silnerI notice there is a meta package called ubuntu-netbook in the repo Moopz?11:50
echosystmhow do i do the autodetect thing like it does during the installation?11:50
thune3ShapeShifter499: i'm not xfce guy, but i want to know if you can configure default to "grayscale"11:51
Moopzsilner: I'm new to ubuntu, so all I know is what I can see in the cache search. How do I locate that one?11:51
Dr_WillisMoopz:  insstall ubuntu-netbook package. select netbook  interface at teh GDM login screen11:51
Dr_WillisMoopz:  use the synaptic package manager search for netbook11:51
MoopzDr_Willis: Thanks, will try.11:52
ubuntuselurhow can i trick apt-get into believing that a dependency is met?11:52
silnerI just used Aptitude search on the command line Moopz but I'll look in Synaptic now11:52
Dr_Willisubuntu-netbook - The Ubuntu Netbook system11:52
ShapeShifter499thune3: there is an app called system-config-printer......11:53

SirMooHa. Sorry. Nothing.11:54
echosystmdoes anyone know how to simulate the network autodetection step in the ubuntu installer?11:54
thune3ShapeShifter499: does it allow you to set printer options11:54
echosystmthsi found my card, now ive restarted and the system cannot see it11:54
ShapeShifter499thune3: checking that now one sec11:55
thune3ShapeShifter499: sounds like the same app in gnome ubuntu11:55
unopbmnpavel, pick up a book about linux or more specifically ubuntu, practice and play -- hang about in here answering questions, and on the forums, etc11:56
thune3ShapeShifter499: Printer options "tab" "Printout mode:" selector11:56
ShapeShifter499thune3: might be idk, this set up is just the default one I got off the ubuntu-alternative disk, with xbuntu packages installed later11:56
thune3ShapeShifter499: it shows printer? you can right click and select properties?11:57
ShapeShifter499thune3: ok I got to my printer properties and under Properties>Printer Options>General, there is an option for color model, but the only option there is RGB11:58
thune3ShapeShifter499: there is no "Printout mode:" option12:00
Flannelubuntuselur: You'll have to create a dummy package that "satisfies" the dependency.  http://eric.lubow.org/2010/system-administration/creating-dummy-packages-on-debian/12:00

kad__hey i'm using Mail Evolution, does anyone know what the IMAP server for hotmail?12:10
thune3ShapeShifter499: if an empty cartridge is there, and you print just b/w it is supposed to work, though12:10

kad__red2kic, is izymail trusted?12:13
ShapeShifter499thune3: ya I know, its odd though that a printer would need any cartridge if the print job is not going to use it12:13

KalEldoes anyone know if there is a way to turn off the non essential updates? i would be willing to fix the security flaws, but i think it's a bit too much updating big packages like openoffix and the like every now and then12:13

echosystmnikolam, i think you will find "LTS" loosely translates to "we have 3 years to make this stable" ;D12:54
airtonixJuniksz, try in term : sudo umount /media/name-of-your-mount12:54
echosystmif you dont like it, dont use ubuntu12:54
airtonixJuniksz, i assume you understand how to find out the mount folder name of the external drive ?12:54
nikolamoCean_, yes dpkg-split is duying on every SINGLE package install while updating12:54

JPPnikolam, just backup all your data and install from a 10.04 CD. If you start clean, you're sure to fix any problem the system may have12:57
anonymouse_Swian, when printing under Firefox, Click File > Print, and near the bottom of the Print window, is the button next to "All Pages" selected?12:57
nikolamTesssa, i am right now in unusable state. my only option is to boot live cd, backup data and do clean install. And to "thank" unusable LTS update process and dpkg-split package12:57
nikolamJPP, yes, burning DVD right now.12:58
nikolamOnly thing that actually dies is my believe that LTS is upgradable to next LTS12:58
nikolamits NOT12:58
Swiananonymouse, yes, I'm not asking here first, tried all options and googled a bit12:58
JPPnikolam, could have been a bad sector on your HDD or some other random unpredictable problem. Coputers are NOT perfect ;)12:59

Dr_Willismulti_io:  it really dosent work that way.  theres the 'rescue/recovery' option in the grub menus thats the closest thing12:59
Tesssaup to you but the way i eventually did it was the way i just told it nikolam13:00
Dr_Willisresqul:  pipe the output through tr, or echo -n  perhaps13:00
nikolamTesssa, thats becouse not even a terminal can open now on that system. I am writing this from othem (non linux) machine13:00

LjLresqul: right, but that's not stdin, you're specifying the filename *in the command line* there. in the other one, you're sending it into stdin.13:26

nehyxcalum: Yes15:09
term_oldcomp1calum:  yes15:09

deckerdutilhttp://www.dokuwiki.org/pinoyskull:My15:11
erUSULClouse: use tracker in Aplications>Accesories ( there an applet too for the panel)15:11
pinoyskullcalum, then dont install your debian in /dev/sda115:12
aeon-ltdsave it for grub15:12
pinoyskullcalum, that way your ubuntu install will not be overwritten15:12
term_oldcomp1jgonza9600:  not sure from command line but you can see and edit permissions from the graphical file explorer itself if you right click.  I know you can use chown under commandline to change but not how to view the permissions15:13
ClouseerUSUL: Thanks again to the reply but I don15:13
calumpinoyskull:So I should unmount the partition and create a new one for Debian by shrinking /sda1?15:13
deckerdutilhttp://www.dokuwiki.org/pinoyskull:So15:13
n8whow should a swap partition b defined in fstab? like this: UUID=f3c84cbe-4f72-4921-a73c-1b7b7a7e330d or like dev/sda?15:13
term_oldcomp1jgonza9600:   plus you have not just the file and folder level permissions but user and then group level15:13
nehyxdeckerdutil: Please stop that15:13

pinoyskullcalum, ah you don't have any available free space so  you want to resize /dev/sda115:17
erUSULjgonza9600: yes; but suport is not classroom. we have #ubuntu-classroom15:17
pinoyskullcalum, yes, you should unmount /dev/sda1 before you can resize it or boot a livecd and do it there15:17
calumpinoyskull:It wont let me unmount /sda115:17
deckerdutilhttp://www.dokuwiki.org/pinoyskull:It15:17
jgonza9600I'm assuming #ubuntu-classroom is a channel?15:17
ClouseerUSUL: Ok, tried that from the terminal but it reports that, that program is not installed. Is this something that is meant to be installed from the default iso from the ubuntu web site? I am on 10.04 by the way.15:18

c4lum4yooSrejecet, solved your minimize and lost panel prob?17:55

krazykrivdaluka1: get VLC player17:55
Dr_Willisluka1:  totally depends on the codec the wmv is using17:55
Zoffixkrazykrivda, not sure about Win7, but Vista does wipe it. Grab a Ubuntu install CD and it would tell you when partitionind the drive17:55

c4lum4yoodo you still have some other panels left?17:55
c4lum4yooor you have closed them all?17:56
Zoffixkrazykrivda, then you might need to go into BIOS and make sure the CD is the primary boot device17:56
edbiankrazykrivda, Then you have to get into your bios and tell the system to boot from the CD17:56
luka1  p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }  No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.17:56

krazykrivdahow do I do that.. (I'm in ubuntu now)17:56
airtonixluka1, are you reading whats being said ?17:56
SRejectc4lum4yoo,  yes. it was an item on my panel, accidently removed it, and can't figure out how to put it back on my panel or even get to the window itself17:56
edbiankrazykrivda, What?  I thought you said you lost grub and you thought you erased Ubuntu?17:56
krazykrivdai ran the "extract files to help boot" option from the CD when i was in win 7 Zoffix  and edbian17:56

xanguap1und3r: there is no ubuntu tweak in default ubuntu repository18:25
john__do i use that18:25
connermcdlostinspace_46 company logo would be called the BIOS screen, then boot options would be GRUB? BURG? depends what bootloader you're using18:25
ubutomlostinspace_46, the company logo screen is the bootup screen of your pc, doesn't have much to do with ubuntu. then the boot option screen is grub, what you see after grub is the splas screen18:25
p1und3rxangua: ahh rly/18:25
john__i cant find anything in the router page for printer18:25
ubutom*splash18:25
mfpocketsJohn__,  sorry im not familiar with what you are asking about.  In your router do you see the IP of the computers in your home network?18:26
lostinspace_46Thanks guys, that helps.18:26
p1und3rlostinspace_46: u may have to add a repository to get ubuntu tweak, just install that and you can customize alot easily18:26
john__just the local ip address18:26

connermcdshadow4295 sudo rm -rf ~/.mozilla/firefox18:45
p1und3rshadow4295: go to Home folder, and View > Show Hidden Files > goto the folder ".mozilla" and rename it temporarily to ".mozilla1" and see if it works18:46
DasEilapion: it supports ntfs by default, so you can just mount it18:46
p1und3rshadow4295: or what connermcd removes it permenantly18:46
connermcdshadow4295 or what p1und3r said18:46

shadow4295p1und3r: Page*18:47
DasEilapion : then only the drive limits the throughput18:47
lapionDasEi, mounts the ntfs filesystem using ntfs-fuse...18:48
p1und3rshadow4295: is this different message or some one you've been getting?18:48
shadow4295p1und3r: I've been getting it ever since I tried the first time.18:48
DasEilapion: what is slow on it ?18:48
matanyap1und3r:do u have the package "gtk2-engines-pixbuf"?:18:48
chrisboomso if i make a new init.d file, with  "/var/lock/blah/script i want to run" as the only text, will that load on system boot?18:48

JackStonerchmac, i dont use synaptic package manager (GUI), but doesnt that do that for you??19:09

DasEi1M4d3L: you can use 32, but  I'd choose 64 for it, else use server-kernel and see :19:10
DasEi1!pae19:10
ubottuTo use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info19:10
darko3dmatanya: yeah, is there an alternative19:10
chmacJackStoner: Using synaptic I could manually plot each dependency and follow the trail, but it's quite laborious.19:10

chmacM4d3L: I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking why Ubuntu still releases 32 bit versions?19:13
JackStonerchmac, looks interesting...confuses the hell out of me though.lol. Hope its what u wanted :)19:13

demifurorhi guys, whats the best option for setting up a ps3 media server on lucid?19:17
gharzxangua: yes i did19:17
chmacM4d3L: I think support for older hardware is a big part of Ubuntu (personal, unresearched opinion). I also think that many virutal servers are still 32bit.19:17
xanguagharz: and restarted the browser¿ :S19:17
gharzxangua: ys19:17
gharzxangua: yes19:17
connermcdHelloer You boot into wubi. Wubi installs the ISO as an application using a virtual partition on your C:\ drive19:17
matanyadark: other video sites work?19:18
Anvoidi have 2 lcd. how do i get top panel, task panel, and workspace to show on my 2nd monitor? is there a default way to do this in ubuntu or do i need a program?19:18
connermcdHelloer then once you've booted into Ubuntu using Wubi you can mount the C:\ drive and move the ISO file over... and install Ubuntu to your physical partition from there19:18
chmacM4d3L: I'm pretty confident there must still be 32 bit computers on the market, it would seem unwise to exclude those machines from using Ubuntu.19:18
chmacM4d3L: Also, in much of the non-first-world, there is a lot of older hardware still in use.19:18
connermcdHelloer then you can use GParted to delete the windows partition and expand the ext319:18
darko3dmatanya: havent checked, thanks19:18
connermcdHelloer well actually I don't think you can expand without a pendrive19:19
M4d3Lchmac: but that stop evolution of Ubuntu19:19
connermcdHelloer your best option is to buy a 1GB pendrive... or borrow someone elses... just copy their files somewhere while you use it19:19

onesandzeroshello all.  I'm using the kubuntu 10.04 alternate installer (cd, not dvd).  I have been trying to install on a LVM on a software raid 1.  So, in the installer, I create partitions on the two physical drives.  I assemble that into a raid 1.  I then try to create a LVM volume in that (md0).  But then I can't assign anything to be /.  Where am I going wrong?20:11
ActionParsnipErgo^: you don't have the right packages installed. This will fix you up: sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin ; sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree20:11

slimjimflimoh21:01
slimjimflimya his is better21:01
un214slimjimflim just might understand. I'll bet that's a better way of installing specific noncurrent version than seting /etc/apt/sources.list to old version, apt-get update, apt-get install package, dpkg hold package, set /etc/apt/sources.list back and apt-get update again21:01

ubottumushy1:: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto21:12
FlannelKane_Hart: There's a method to work around that limitation (which is a limitation on 32bit architectures).  One important thing to also note is that you need to be sure your motherboard supports more than 4GB of RAM as well21:12
Ubuntu-1000xis it possible to have Ubuntu on mobile devices?21:12

jrtrobertsthanks again21:18
mushy1ActionParsnip, --replace closes what it uses?21:19
mushy1ActionParsnip, is this the WM:  Netbook Launcher  A Clutter-based desktop launcher   or if i run a different WM this will still open? in startup apps i do not see the current WM21:20
ActionParsnipmushy1: the WM will simply run alongside the NBR. You need to choose the gnome desktop instead of the netbook launcher just before login. Click your username then look at the bottom of the screen21:21
mushy1ActionParsnip, do i need to logoff and close all my open apps to go back and select a different WM on the login screen?21:22

nUboon2Ageolskolirc: I don't think the danger would be anything near as w/ Windows.  I don't see much discussion of it on Linux web sites, but probably just using the latest update from Adobe would be adequate.21:23

guntbertHald: just use the open source drivers22:03

mushy1guys i ran 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' for xfce WM and its stuffs, how long should this take? is it a lot of packages?22:04

mushy1Also I change the .dmrc to Session=xfce right?22:04
chmacpurpley: ALT-F2 gnome-system-monitor, lets me see each core as a separate cpu under the Resources tab22:04

RandBrittainCan anyone explain how to permanently give myself write and read permission on an internal ext4 drive?22:05
Haldguntbert: well. I have tryed to get the performance better but the opensource drivers don't work so good for me. Starting blender 3d, google earth or any other "3D" application screws the fps big time22:05
ActionParsnipRandBrittain: gksudo nautilus22:05
bahaapurpley: so you can try what chmac and the bot said, there are some wedgets22:05
lucascastrokermit: there is sound effects over there.22:05
RandBrittainWouldn't I have to do that every time in order to keep reading to it?22:05
dfgasActionParsnip, lol, i love this thing. freakin fast, but i would rather watch my =3 in linux than reboot to windows22:05
ActionParsnipRandBrittain: will be a temp fix, you can play with mount options etc in /etc/fstab to mount it better22:05

RandBrittainIs there a guide somewhere to editing fstab?22:06
purpleyOh wait cpu3 is 100%22:06
bahaaguys can any body help with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150733922:06
ubutompurpley, chmac sytemmonitor can also be added to the top taskbar, have both, two applets for processor speed and a systemmonitor which i can click if necessary22:06
lucascastrokermit: what is the version are you usin'?22:06
geirhaRandBrittain: gksudo nautilus, that should allow you to set ownership to yourself, giving you read and write access.22:06
kermitlucascastro: lucid22:06
purpleyHow do I make all 4 proccessors use john and not just my 3rd core22:06
guntbertHald: I only can say about google earth on my x1300, no complaints  - but no 3D here  -- keep in mind that you will have to stick with any old driver though, because there will be no updates22:06
lucascastromine, it is disable.22:07
ActionParsnipmushy1: my .dmrc doesn't have that in dude, you usually set the desktop when you log in22:07

guntbertsiddhion: how should I know? why do you ping it?22:09
Haldguntbert: Do you know how I can do it (downgrade xorg) I might give it a try22:09
ActionParsnipmushy1: well, its free to try. You can always re-edit the file22:09
guntbertHald: sorry, no22:09
purpleyubutom: John the ripper22:09
geirhaRandBrittain: And in nautilus run as you (without gksudo)?22:09
RandBrittainOh, I see, I needed to hit "apply to enclosed folders."22:10
guntbertsiddhion: its an ubuntu server22:10
ubutompurpley, I'd say it depends on how the ripper is programmed22:10
RandBrittainNow I have delicious access. I need to get all these files moved around so that I can repartition that drive as NTFS and have access to it from both my boot systems.22:10

siddhionguntbert, i am following a little troubleshooting tutorial. it said to check your DNS trying pinging the address 82.211.81.158 ....and then it says to type "ping www.ubuntu.com"22:11
duffydackHald, something like in synaptic "Package, Force version"22:11
wimpoghow do I recover a bunch of deleted files (rm -rf)?22:11
almienbahaa: nslookup somedomain.org, then add whatever ip address is found to /etc/hosts as somedomain.com.  Only works if they never change IP though22:11
RandBrittainThanks for the assistance.22:11
wimpogPlease, help22:11
Haldduffydack: Thanks. I take a look at that.22:11
Jordan_U!undelete | wimpog22:11
ubottuwimpog: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel22:11
guntbertsiddhion: ah I see -- pinging www.ubuntu.com only makes sense when the first one worked - it seems you have network troubles :)22:12
siddhionguntbert so when one pings an address and a stream of lines keep appearing, does that mean the DNS is healthy?22:12
geirhawimpog: You restore them from backup.22:12
wimpoggeirha: no backup22:12
siddhionguntbert yes i do, i can not get my browsers connected in Ubuntu Lucid22:12
wimpogjust got the files and accidentally deleted thm22:12
ubutomhey siddhion any luck yet with that wireless setup?22:13
wimpoganybody has any experience in a situation I'm in?22:13

Euthanatosand xrandr is a *****23:53
brandyEuthanatos: get-edid | parse-edid only shows 1280x800 just like the monitors tool.. so i'm guessing this won't fix it either23:53
brandyfun times.23:54
lololpineugh this firmware isn'tg going to upgrade itself but i can't do anything about it23:54
Euthanatosbrandy, otoh windows may have been running your monitor at an unsupported resolution23:54
brandyEuthanatos: I'd be satisfied in doing that ;)23:54
Euthanatosbrandy i would be satisfied telling my monitor to bend over and take whatever res i want to throw at it but apparently that's not kosher anymore.23:55
tpjmiamihi, does anyone have experience with not getting an external mic detected on device chooser?23:55
Euthanatosor i justy don't know how to do it yet23:55
lun4tichi does someone know how to get a sis onboard chipset with shared memory running on ubutnu?23:55
stucki_bnUboon2Age: oops, sorry .. (login says 10.4 LTS)  // seeminly not, seems to be a company names Qone and the first mini netbook named a10023:55
Euthanatosif you figure it out let me know I'd LOVE to tell xrandr to shove it =P LOL23:56
stucki_bARGH , sorry bad typist - Company named 'One' , Model 'A100', Graphics "VIA Chrome9 HC3 (166 MHz, 64 MB Shared-Memory)"23:56
nUboon2Agestucki_b: is it this one: http://news.idealo.de/news/18599-one-a100-serie-konkurrenz-asus-eee-pc/23:58
nUboon2Agestucki_b: I guess since most people won't be familiar w/ that make/model it will be more useful to refer to the actual graphics chipset23:59
