[00:00] <Oer> Tempus_Fugit, re-install gnome keyring, you need it to store wireless keys and more.
[00:00] <qwiksilver711> I am currently running a dual boot with win7 and ubuntu 10.4 on a 500g hard drive, and I have a 1TB hd i want to move ubuntu to. is it possible to remove ubuntu from this hd without doing a complete reformat of the windows partition? would it hurt anything if i just used a partition program to expand the windows partition to the full drive?\
[00:00] <Tempus_Fugit> Oer: which package ...seahorse???
[00:00] <DCat--> qwiksilver711, it shouldnt
[00:01] <DCat--> backup just incase tho :)
[00:01] <jamesanelay> Hi, how would one completely remove sendmail from their system?
[00:01] <Tempus_Fugit> Oer: or just apt-get install gnome-keyring??
[00:01] <rezzy> 63% installed
[00:02] <qwiksilver711> in theory couldn't i use something to image the windows partition, and then put that on the 1tb hd as a backup, and if something went wrong when i expanded the windows partition i should be able to just throw that image on the 500g hd right?
[00:02] <Oer> Tempus_Fugit, i'm not sure,  i think, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring
[00:03] <jamesanelay> Hi, how would one completely remove sendmail from their system?
[00:03] <DCat--> qwiksilver711, thats the long way
[00:03] <Tempus_Fugit> ok this might help how do I create a root acct in Lucid ...chroot?
[00:03] <qwiksilver711> DCat-- whats the short way?
[00:03] <Chr1831> How come putting @hourly /path/to/python/app.py in my local crontab (via contab -e) isn't being executed?
[00:03] <DCat--> qwiksilver711, but you could if you wanted.. just .img the win7 partition and keep it aside BEFORE you do anything that can cause uh-ohs...
[00:03] <edbian> Tempus_Fugit, There already is a root account.  To access it ubuntu uses sudo
[00:03] <bastid_raZor> Tempus_Fugit: you add a user to the admin group if you need root privledges
[00:04] <Oer> Tempus_Fugit, leaving keyring without pass solves the keyring-question-issue
[00:04] <ThePCKid> He means something in the means of "su root" I think...
[00:04] <rezzy> eMyller: still there?
[00:04] <bastid_raZor> ThePCKid: that is a bad idea and unsupported in this channel
[00:04] <eMyller> rezzy: yes
[00:04] <god__> how can i use my speaker output as a mic
[00:04] <someguy> i installed the repo and the key for google but i only still have the googleearth-package package in my repos
[00:04] <rezzy> good good dont want to loose u, not long now nearly installed :D
[00:04] <qwiksilver711> any reccomendations on programs to use to image the windows partition?
[00:04] <edbian> quit
[00:04] <bastid_raZor> ThePCKid: for a root session in bash use 'sudo -i'
[00:04] <SmokeyBacon> I have a TV surround sound system with the two sterio RCA plugs, is there a way to get surround sound from the computer to play through this?
[00:05] <god__> so people can hear what i hear
[00:05] <Tempus_Fugit> edbian: but in term if I type in "su" it asks for a pw that I dont know?
[00:05] <god__> no mic
[00:05] <jamesanelay> I'm fairly sure ive removed the bulk of sendmail, but it still attempts to start on boot and I get an error saying Not Configured Not started, anybody know how I can fix this?
[00:05] <eMyller> someguy: did you apt-get update'd?
[00:05] <gnoob> Tempus_Fugit  type sudo su and the password you know ;)
[00:05] <Tempus_Fugit> Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done ubuntu-keyring is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[00:05] <DCat--> bastid_raZor, thanks for that.. i didnt know either.
[00:05] <someguy> yes eMyller
[00:05] <Sylphid> qwiksilver711, though i have not tried it i have heard ping is not ghost (ping) is good
[00:05] <someguy> eMyller, i even added the non-free repo as well
[00:05] <eMyller> someguy: you should have googleearth, then
[00:05] <Tempus_Fugit> hmm ok
[00:06] <Tempus_Fugit> gnoob: ty
[00:06] <bastid_raZor> DCat--: glad to help.
[00:06] <MaddTechWF> Can anyone help me with my Samba problem?
[00:06] <DCat--> !ask MaddTechWF
[00:06] <eMyller> someguy: weird. do you have medibuntu added as well?
[00:06] <gnoob> then when root write "passwd"  and set the new root password...  :)  next time "su" will work fine..  (but be careful using root!!!!!)
[00:06] <Pirolocito> MaddTechWF, maybe
[00:06] <someguy> no eMyller
[00:06] <someguy> i dont have medibuntu
[00:07] <eMyller> someguy: i just checked it, googleearth comes from medibuntu here.
[00:07] <ThePCKid> gnoob, it's "passwd root"
[00:07] <eMyller> maybe it changed or i just mixed it up.
[00:07] <someguy> heh ok
[00:07] <MaddTechWF> I installed Samba and configured it to the specs of a video I watched.  When I go to my Windows XP machine, I can see the share folder but not its contents.  My PS3 won't even see it either.
[00:08] <abbronzato> hello i need to reinstall from zero a win xp partition, on a ubuntu hd, any tips for recovery grub easily after that? thanks in advance
[00:08] <gnoob> the default root password?? hmm have no idea.. ubuntu let root be disabled by default for security reasons.  But can be enabled by sudo su and write passwd to set new root password...   (correct me if Im wrong anybody)
[00:09] <rezzy> 95 %
[00:09] <Dr_Willis> gnoob:  ammoung other ways.. but its niot  reccomended
[00:10] <slidinghorn> !root
[00:10] <eMyller> abbronzato: it's very easily found on google; there's a wiki page about that with a high rank. i don't remember its url now.
[00:10] <Zelozelos> oh that one is awsome, kinda like "there is no spoon neo" rofl
[00:10] <Guest50063> is there a front end to growisofs that will allow me to burn multiple dvds simultaneously?
[00:10] <MaddTechWF> DCat--, Pirolocito :  I installed Samba and configured it to the specs of a video I watched.  When I go to my Windows XP machine, I can see the share folder but not its contents.  My PS3 won't even see it either.
[00:10] <ThePCKid> @gnoob
[00:10] <ThePCKid> By default, the root password is scrambled and locked (I think)
[00:10] <ThePCKid> Try "passwd root" to change the password to a known value. Then try "su root" and type in root's pass
[00:10] <DCat--> Zelozelos, exactly. :)
[00:10] <abbronzato> eMyller, yes the prob is that all is related to the old grub
[00:10] <ThePCKid> !root | ThePCKid
[00:10] <abbronzato> not his one
[00:11] <Tempus_Fugit> so pretty much any root privledges I need can be handled using "sudo"
[00:11] <Dr_Willis> Guest50063:  once you ahve the iso made. you could do the actuall burning to seeral drives at once. depending on the speeds of the disks
[00:11] <Yashy> I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu ("X Window System error"), any ideas on how to resolve? http://pastebin.com/BM2T22p0
[00:11] <DCat--> Tempus_Fugit, yes
[00:11] <slidinghorn> Tempus_Fugit, that is correct
[00:11] <Tempus_Fugit> k ty
[00:12] <TheSkeward> Hi.  I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 under the XFCE desktop environment, attempting to use Altec BX1220 speakers, and when I plug them in, they light up and give feedback, but no sound comes from them.  Can someone help me?
[00:12] <Tempus_Fugit> atm I need to figure out to get my gnome login screen working
[00:12] <Dr_Willis> how did you break it Tempus_Fugit ?
[00:12] <ThePCKid> @TheSkeward:
[00:12] <ThePCKid> Is there an icon that looks like a speaker?
[00:12] <Tempus_Fugit> good question
[00:12] <Guest50063> Dr_Willis: so created the ISO files and then burn them using growisofs?
[00:12] <Guest50063> sounds like a good idea
[00:13] <eMyller> abbronzato: i found one about 2.0 once
[00:13] <TheSkeward> ThePCKid: up in the top right?  yeah.  it says "Output: 100% | 0.00 dB | Internal Audio Analog Stereo" when I mouse over it
[00:13] <Dr_Willis> Guest50063:  or other burner tools.
[00:13] <someguy> i ran the medibuntu command as shown on the ubuntu help documentation but for me i get the error that signatures couldnt be verified because the public key is not available
[00:13] <kaostic> hie all
[00:13] <lor> I've installed the nvidia drivers, but it says "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" and it doesn't load X
[00:13] <someguy> i thought the command automatically fetched the key
[00:13] <ThePCKid> @TheSweward:
[00:13] <ThePCKid> Is there an option that lets you change the dB?
[00:14] <Guest50063> Dr_Willis: k3b and gnomebaker won't burn to more than one drive at a time which is ridiculous.
[00:14] <eMyller> abbronzato: google 'grub 2 recover'
[00:14] <Tempus_Fugit> Dr_Willis: All I know is I was trying to disable the wireless keyring and rm'ed the wrong keyring now it dont work no more I kinda doubt its an isolated incident but I could be wrong
[00:14] <someguy> Err http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid/free medibuntu-keyring 2008.04.20
[00:14] <someguy>   404  Not Found
[00:14] <frank__> wei
[00:14] <TheSkeward> ThePCKid: I'm in Sound Preferences.  I'm not entirely sure what the dB is.
[00:14] <frank__> 有人讲中文麼？
[00:14] <Dr_Willis> Tempus_Fugit:  You did try making a new user and seeing if that new user can login?
[00:14] <hiexpo> question is the proper way of installing a sh file is    sudo ./filename.sh username
[00:15] <Daekdroom> !english | frank__
[00:15] <slidinghorn> !jp > frank__
[00:15] <kaostic> Who have internet here
[00:15] <kaostic> ?
[00:15] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  for the m ost part - yes.
[00:15] <someguy> anyone else get a missing public key error with medibuntu repo?
[00:15] <jamesanelay> how do I stop sendmail running on startup??
[00:15] <Dr_Willis> hiexpo:  'chmod +x foo.bin' 'sudo ./foo.bin'
[00:15] <eigen_fatty> i have internets
[00:15] <ThePCKid> I think frank__ was Chinese...
[00:15] <slidinghorn> !cn | frank -- sorr
[00:15] <slidinghorn> ThePCKid, caought that, lol
[00:15] <rezzy> right
[00:16] <Daekdroom> That's why I tend to use !english instead o.o
[00:16] <hiexpo> Dr_Willis,  ok thanx
[00:16] <rezzy> eMyller: ubuntu is installed so what do i do now to install the 3g modem
[00:16] <Tempus_Fugit> Dr_Willis:  well now that I am in ubuntu I can try that ....before I was in my windows partition and was trying to retain everything I was being told but it didnt all sink in
[00:16] <kaostic> thx for the answer  i can now resolve my problem THX
[00:16] <ThePCKid> I saw "??" in there so that's why I thought the language he was speaking is Chinese
[00:16] <Tempus_Fugit> Dr_Willis:  ok so I have a shell open ...what is cmd to make new user
[00:16] <eMyller> rezzy: plug it and see if it works out of the box.
[00:16] <Dr_Willis> Tempus_Fugit:  you are on wired of wireless in  ubuntu?
[00:17] <Dr_Willis> Tempus_Fugit:  'sudo adduser billgates'
[00:17] <eMyller> rezzy: i suggest you to restart the pc with the dongle connected at first
[00:17] <rezzy> oki have done
[00:17] <makaveli0129> got a weird one for you guys every now and then when i restart my computer my wireless disappears like the icon isn't in the upper right but the driver is installed and everything the only thing that happened was i restarted the computer any ideas on how to get the wireless card to work again?
[00:17] <Tempus_Fugit> I got in thru recovery shell and logged in then as phillinux said did startx ...so yes now I am in this partition
[00:17] <Nimphious> Is there any way to access a network share on the desktop through SSH?
[00:17] <strangeseraph> I am having a bad time with rhythmbox
[00:18] <makaveli0129> nimphious: just navigate to the folder
[00:18] <kaostic> f/name
[00:18] <strangeseraph> it keeps messing up me tags. I worked so hard to clean up and do all my tags, I open rhythmbox and suddenly half my tags have changed, and if I open my tag program again all the files I tagged have been screwed up
[00:19] <eMyller> rezzy: you will be notified if it works. otherwise, let me know.
[00:19] <Dr_Willis> Nimphious:  for linux to linux. you can access a ssh machine  with  sshfs or the gnome connect to server. feature as if it was a local dir
[00:19] <makaveli0129> straneseraph: use songbird works great
[00:19] <rezzy> eMyller: will do
[00:19] <strangeseraph> does Songbird work with iPod Touch?
[00:19] <bastid_raZor> makaveli0129: songbird is no longer being developed for Linux
[00:19] <Nimphious> The contents of /home/user/Desktop/ is two files, both .desktop files.
[00:19] <makaveli0129> strangeseraph: should yea and you can even import your entire itunes library
[00:20] <Daekdroom> strangeseraph, even before it was descontinued for linux, it didn't support iPods
[00:20] <Nimphious> And yet on the desktop the share is there.
[00:20] <rezzy> eMyller: keeps turning off :/
[00:20] <strangeseraph> oh
[00:20] <Tempus_Fugit> Dr_Willis: Ok brb let me try to login with that new name brb
[00:20] <Nimphious> Is there an alternate way to set up a share so I can specify where it is mounted manually?
[00:20] <makaveli0129> bastid_raZor: that's weird considering i'm using it right now on my ubuntu
[00:20] <Dr_Willis> Nimphious:  thats because its a 'special' thing. not a real directory on teh desktop
[00:20] <Dr_Willis> Nimphious:  it may be in ~/.gvfs
[00:20] <Daekdroom> makaveli0129, that doesn't mean it was never released for linux.
[00:20] <bastid_raZor> makaveli0129: i didn't say there aren't debs out there. just the continued development.. future updates etc. are not going to happen.
[00:20] <Daekdroom> makaveli0129, it's just that new versions don't get released for linux
[00:20] <eMyller> rezzy: doesn't it work? what do you mean with 'keeps turning off'?
[00:21] <Daekdroom> makaveli0129, there's a fork for linux called nightingale. Not sure how it's going on.
[00:21] <Nimphious> It's there.
[00:21] <Nimphious> Thanks Dr_Willis.
[00:21] <rezzy> eMyller: well it will get to the log in screen, and then turn off ... whilst the dongle is in
[00:21] <jamesanelay> how do I stop sendmail running on startup??
[00:21] <abbronzato> eMyller, thanks i'll see it just now, in true i'm looking for something that can backup then restore the actually fully working config (obv after the grub2 reinstall)
[00:21] <makaveli0129> bastid_raZor: yea i know it's not part of the "officially" supported things but I got the deb file and it's been working great for me
[00:21] <sanduz2> anyone know the right way to setup fstab for an ntfs-3g partition?
[00:22] <eMyller> rezzy: the pc turns off? Oo
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> sanduz2:  the ntfs-3g homepage/faq has example entries.. or the ntfs-config tool can make them (in some cases)
[00:22] <rezzy> eMyller: yes, i will try it without the dongle now
[00:22] <sanduz2> i looked but they dont work, ill try to look again
[00:22] <bastid_raZor> makaveli0129: the links on this page will give better detailed information on songbirds end ::  http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/remove-songbird2
[00:23] <makaveli0129> nimpious: should be in fstab

[00:23] <TheSkeward> Hi.  I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 under the XFCE desktop environment, attempting to use Altec BX1220 speakers, and when I plug them in, they light up and give feedback, but no sound comes from them.  The speaker icon says "100% | 0.00 dB | Internal Audio Digital Stereo (IEC958)" when I mouse over it.  Can anyone help me?
[00:23] <slidinghorn> got *that* one right
[00:23] <rezzy> Emyller: seems like linux just keeps turning off
[00:24] <rezzy> Emyller: soon as i log in it turns off :/
[00:24] <makaveli0129> bastid_raZor: yea the new versions arent going to be released for linux but you can still get 1.4 which is what i have and it works fine LOL
[00:24] <eMyller> rezzy: bizarre. that happened to me once, that was because i hadn't a graphic card.
[00:24] <bastid_raZor> makaveli0129: do you have any memory leaks? last time i used it leaked fairly bad.
[00:25] <makaveli0129> bastid_raZor: i wouldn't even know how to check that LOL i know a little but not enough it's one of those so so things LOL
[00:25] <rezzy> eMyller: it has a graphics card built in, not the best just a standard one
[00:25] <eMyller> rezzy: i just installed one and it worked. i still don't know another workaround for that. but i'm really not sure if that's your case too.
[00:25] <eMyller> rezzy: sad it didn't work. :\
[00:25] <rezzy> seems to be working atm
[00:25] <rezzy> right
[00:25] <makaveli0129> bastid_raZor: the main reason i wanted it was to get my playlists from itunes imported into it so that i can export them into a format that works with rythmbox
[00:26] <bastid_raZor> makaveli0129: one way to tell is in top or htop sonbird uses more and more RAM
[00:26] <rezzy> eMyller: maybe the power cord to the laptop was faulty for a minute
[00:26] <eMyller> rezzy: then someone else may help you on that. i don't understand well about that kind of issues. sorry. :(
[00:26] <rezzy> eMyller: it has reconised the brand provider
[00:27] <rezzy> eMyller: but it does not connect what do i do from then?
[00:28] <eMyller> rezzy: did it recognize the modem and you just created a connection config by following the wizard?
[00:28] <makaveli0129> got a weird one for you guys every now and then when i restart my computer my wireless disappears like the icon isn't in the upper right but the driver is installed and everything the only thing that happened was i restarted the computer any ideas on how to get the wireless card to work again?
[00:28] <slidinghorn> makaveli0129, you using gnome?
[00:28] <Bridge|A> happended to me
[00:28] <rezzy> eMyller: no wizzard came up, however, the provider 3 came up on the text top, when i click it goes into liek a folder , when i click on one it fails
[00:29] <Bridge|A> is it usb adapter?
[00:29] <makaveli0129> slidinghorn: yea
[00:29] <cilly> Hello everyone!  I am having a problem getting the printer to work.  I have ubuntu 10.04 installed on a powermac G3.  I have installed the Z600 driver thru the help of the forums.  I am getting the error:  Idle-Filter "usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoz600" for printer "Lexmark-Lexmark-Z25-Z35" not owned by root.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[00:29] <eMyller> rezzy: look for an option to create a connection through a wizard
[00:29] <abbronzato> i'll try to backyp the 2 most preciuso grub2 files, then recopy they after the grub2 reinstall
[00:29] <Bridge|A> tupac: is it usb wireless adapteer
[00:29] <Bridge|A> ?
[00:30] <eMyller> rezzy: actually i don't use ubuntu (i use kubuntu instead), so i don't know exactly how ubuntu mobile broadband interface looks/works
[00:30] <makaveli0129> Bridge|A: no it's internal
[00:30] <eMyller> rezzy: but i'm sure it's easy to find out :)
[00:30] <abbronzato> th t all bye
[00:30] <Bridge|> hmm i was having that problem with wireless usb
[00:30] <rezzy> eMyller: ohhhh ;(
[00:30] <rezzy> eMyller: though u had to download the modem thing
[00:30] <Bridge|> i had to plug it in to slot first used and something unplugg/plugg in adapter
[00:31] <Bridge|> numerours times
[00:31] <Sylphid> makaveli0129,  sudo lshw -C network
[00:31] <Bridge|> not sure problem if its internal though
[00:31] <Sylphid> makaveli0129, what driver is listed?
[00:31] <eMyller> rezzy: for one model only
[00:31] <Bridge|> yea lshw/lspci/lsusb sometimes made it pop up also
[00:31] <makaveli0129> slidinghorn: the weird this is the wireless shows as installed and everything just i have no way to open the graphical part and connect to the wireless network it's weird as hell
[00:31] <rezzy> eMyller: its the huawei e122
[00:31] <eMyller> rezzy: most models work out of the box.
[00:31] <Tempus_> Dr_Willis: ok the new user did not work either??
[00:32] <rezzy> eMyller: but u said u have to download this thing for it if it dont work
[00:32] <eMyller> rezzy: i don't know this one.. but should work as well
[00:32] <makaveli0129> Sylphid: shows this: Sylphid:
[00:32] <eMyller> rezzy: can you post a screenshot of the system?
[00:32] <makaveli0129> Sylphid:  2 module=wl multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bgn
[00:32] <makaveli0129>   *-network DISABLED
[00:32] <rezzy> eMyller: ok one minute
[00:33] <rezzy> how would i go about posting the screenshot in this
[00:33] <Tempus_> ugh...ok I need to get back to work ....retreat now to fight another day ...lol bbl all
[00:33] <Sylphid> makaveli0129, is the ethernet interface disabled or the wireless?
[00:34] <rezzy> eMyller: how do i post the screenshot in this
[00:34] <eMyller> imagebin.com
[00:34] <makaveli0129> the wl is the wireless i'm using the ethernet right now since i can't get the wireless to work
[00:35] <eMyller> rezzy: imagebin.com
[00:35] <Sylphid> makaveli0129,  right but the line *-network DISABLED ... what is in the description under it ethernet or wireless
[00:36] <strangeseraph> this is ridiculous, why are my files suddenly changing back after I work so hard to CHANGE the tags? :( ARGH
[00:36] <Bridge|> makaveli:
[00:36] <Bridge|> 1. In a command window, type dmesg and see if you can see any messages relating to the specific hardware.
[00:36] <Bridge|> 2. Alternatively and also in a command window, type tail -f /var/log/syslog. Then, insert the hardware, like the wireless card and see what messages come up. This should give you an indication of whether the hardware is being detected or not.
[00:36] <makaveli0129> sylphid: that was for the wireless sorry it logged me out LOL
[00:36] <FloodBot2> Bridge|: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:36] <Bridge|> sorry :(
[00:37] <rezzy> eMyller: its basically the providers shortcut on the desktop
[00:37] <Yashy> I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu ("X Window System error"), any ideas on how to resolve? http://pastebin.com/BM2T22p0
[00:37] <Sylphid> makaveli0129,  what interface is listed by iwconfig
[00:38] <BlaDe^> guys if I want to skip the first 4gb using dd do I just do skip=4194304     (1024*1024*4)    ?
[00:38] <strangeseraph> what do I do? Use a different program maybe? I like rhythmbox though. :(
[00:38] <makaveli0129> sylphid: i get eth2 is the wireless one

I'm not all that tech savvy, but I was using Koala (I think that was what it was called) and when I let it do the upgrade to the new version today, my laptop rebooted and went to a black screen. Now I can't get past that black screen. I tried using a live CD in text mode like I saw on a tutorial, but I may have done it w

[01:21] <ross_> ok let's try ti out
[01:21] <YzN> hey
[01:21] <YzN> whats wrong with ubuntu download?
[01:21] <YzN> whenever i download via the terminal
[01:21] <Sylphid> makaveli0129, sorry wrong quotes
[01:21] <Sylphid> makaveli0129, sudo bash -c 'echo -e "blacklist b43\nblacklist ssb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf'
[01:21] <rezzy> pradeep: ive burnt like 2 windows discs, but when i run it through boot they dont come up.... plus in bios ive set cd key to be first priority
[01:21] <YzN> it takes the whole internet speed
[01:21] <Yashy> I'm having an issue with f-spot on ubuntu ("X Window System error"), any ideas on how to resolve? http://pastebin.com/BM2T22p0
[01:22] <YzN> i cant browse anymore or connect to irc even
[01:22] <MACscr> is there an easy way to convert a video iso to xvid? Trying to find a good way to archive my dvd's, but use smaller space than 4.4gb
[01:22] <makaveli0129> sylphid, that went through just fine
[01:22] <YzN> so, i said let me try downloading via browser, it stops at some percentage and doesnt move anymore
[01:22] <Sylphid> makaveli0129, also sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-modules
[01:22] <gewt> somebody say b43
[01:22] <YzN> but it still says its downloading at a certain speed
[01:22] <AndrewGearhart> good evening folks. I'm looking for some answers that I know won't be one liners. I know I have LOTS of research to do, but i'm looking for tips to get started in the right area of securing an ubuntu system within a virtualbox virtual machine. The system will be installed on thousands of desktops and I need to ensure that every possible attempt at securing the system is made. The system will be run to only allow external access
[01:22] <AndrewGearhart>  through httpd and ssh. Where do I go next?
[01:23] <Sylphid> makaveli0129, make sure wl is enabled in hardware drivers
[01:23] <trism> imaginativeone: find some_directory -type f -exec stat -c '%s %n' {} \; | sort -n;
[01:23] <Sylphid> makaveli0129, then reboot
[01:24] <rezzy> so no one at all can help me with a 3g dongle
[01:24] <trism> imaginativeone: that's just for files, if you wanted directories by usage either use baobab or du some_dir | sort -n;
[01:25] <pradeep> rezzy which
[01:25] <YzN_> wow
[01:25] <pradeep> 3g dongle
[01:25] <YzN_> the lagg im havin
[01:25] <zac> If I have a problem with installing ubuntu server do I come here?
[01:26] <rezzy> its a UK 3 3g dongle pradeep:
[01:26] <YzN_> Hey guys, I would really aprreciated if someone may download Skype using ubuntu the latest version and tell me if it stops at 14%.
[01:26] <enmand> Guest28494, what's your problem?
[01:26] <pradeep> does it show on ur network manger
[01:27] <infinitux> hi. i'm running a linux livecd on my laptop and my running applications are recieving an Uninteruptable Kill Signal and then closing. Why is this happening?
[01:27] <Guest28494> Emmand I need to connect to my wireless access point but it seems to only allow wired connections
[01:27] <rezzy> pradeep: its a UK 3 3g dongle pradeep:
[01:28] <pradeep> rezzy, yes
[01:28] <rezzy> anyhelp ?
[01:28] <Guest28494> Or am I screwed?
[01:28] <pradeep> rezzy, i mean does it show on your network manager when you connect it to your computer if not try using wvdial
[01:28] <pradeep> download it
[01:29] <ross_> ok it shoudl b good
[01:29] <rezzy> pradeep: it shows on my desktop but does not work from there, no does not show on my network manager either
[01:29] <ross_> jordan_u now i will try to reboot in a few minutes...
[01:29] <enmand> Guest28494, weird. Do you have a GUI on the server? How are you connecting to your wireless AP?
[01:30] <pradeep> rezzy, sudo apt-get wvdial
[01:30] <pradeep> try using that
[01:30] <YzN> Hey i would really aprreciate if someone would help me out on something.
[01:31] <Guest28494> Enmand I'm not connected and its a command line based gui
[01:31] <Guest28494> I'm on the ubuntu live cd
[01:31] <TDKPS> jarly, are you alive
[01:31] <rezzy> pradeep: says invalid operation
[01:31] <thune3> infinitux: not sure. programs sometimes get killed automaticallly when memory runs out.
[01:31] <deexannihilate> What program can I use to Burn an ISO image to USB?
[01:31] <marco___> how change the color and the position of colored tab in byobu?
[01:32] <infinitux> thune3, yes. i'm sure that's what's happening.
[01:32] <infinitux> the livecd only has a small amount of memory available to it.
[01:32] <ross_> jordan_u ok that worked very well thank you very much - man i will never mess with the partition stuff again in my life
[01:32] <pradeep> rezzy, sorry i meant  sudo apt-get install wvdial
[01:32] <Jordan_U> ross_: You're welcome.
[01:33] <rezzy> pradeep: now its saying cant find package wvdial :/
[01:33] <codebrainz> deexannihilate, you want the files from your ISO copied onto a USB hard/flash drive? or you want to burn an ISO image on a USB CD writer?
[01:34] <pradeep> rezzy, then sudo apt-get update
[01:34] <deexannihilate> codebrainz: I want the files from my ISO copied onto a USB
[01:34] <mdgeorge1> hello
[01:34] <pradeep> then run the initial command
[01:34] <mdgeorge1> I was wondering if anyone could help me configure X properly to use my tablet
[01:34] <thune3> infinitux: you should have all your physical memory available. livecd will also use any swap partition it finds on fixed disks. If all the physical memory is really available, the only solution is to kill memory hogging applications before you run out of memory.
[01:34] <rezzy> pradeep: done that what now?
[01:34] <pradeep> deexannihilate, use unetbootin
[01:35] <mdgeorge1> it seems to be detecting it when I plug it in, but it's not working
[01:35] <codebrainz> deexannihilate, what kind of ISO?  is it bootable?  does the USB drive need to be bootable?
[01:35] <pradeep> rezzy, sudo apt-get install wvdial
[01:35] <mdgeorge1> and the input subsystems seem to have changed a lot recently, so I don't know what howto's to trust
[01:35] <Guest28494> Enmand I'm not connected and its a command line based gui
[01:36] <mdgeorge1> it works when I reboot, but not when I hotplug
[01:36] <hiexpo> codebrainz,  it will make it bootable
[01:36] <deexannihilate> codebrainz: Yes, the USB needs to be bootable. It's or Super grub. I don't have a CD/DVD drive on my netbook and need it to fix my other computer
[01:36] <codebrainz> deexannihilate, then what pradeep said
[01:36] <marco___> exit
[01:36] <rezzy> pradeep: done that
[01:36] <deexannihilate> codebrainz: thanks
[01:36] <deexannihilate> pradeep: thank you
[01:37] <pradeep> deexannihilate, sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[01:37] <hiexpo> codebrainz,  hit alt > f10 ,11 ,12 and put usb on top for boot
[01:37] <pradeep> deexannihilate, anytime man
[01:37] <deexannihilate> pradeep: lady :)
[01:37] <codebrainz> hiexpo, me?
[01:38] <rezzy> pradeep: done that mate what now ?
[01:38] <martian> Shell question... can you pipe the output of ls to copy or rm? Like pipe the results of "ls -d xyz*/" to cp along with a destination somehow?
[01:38] <Guest28494> I find this rather stupid and a huge pitfall for ubuntu, but is it really impossible for one to connect to a wireless access point on the ubuntu server edition?
[01:38] <codebrainz> martian, xargs
[01:38] <pradeep> deexannihilate, oops mybad :)
[01:38] <hiexpo> codebrainz,  was u tring to gonna boot frome usb?
[01:38] <codebrainz> hiexpo, nope
[01:38] <otocus> hi all, does somebody here kwnos a lot about alsa behavior? i have a system admin especific question...
[01:38] <Guest28494> I mean do they really think everyone installs from a wired connection?
[01:38] <hiexpo> codebrainz,  oops wrong person sorry
[01:38] <martian> codebrainz: hmm ok... so, go read up on xargs eh? :)
[01:39] <rezzy> looks like ill have to go back to windows anyone know the best way to make a clean simple windows boot disc via ubuntu
[01:39] <otocus> and its not about alsa, its about ubuntu... on ubuntu 9.x it worked perfectly.. on 10x it doesnt :(
[01:39] <lor> can I remove empathy?
[01:39] <otocus> rezzy, i dont, but if you only want to boot... there are a lot of boot disk mini isos on net
[01:39] <thune3> martian: for xargs you should probably use the "-1" option to ls as well.
[01:39] <otocus> ah... the.. one... is... bartpe
[01:40] <hiexpo> otocus,  - 9.10 is better
[01:40] <otocus> hiexpo,  i agree totally
[01:40] <pradeep> rezzy, you done
[01:40] <rezzy> otocus: ive got a downloaded windows on this, just seems to not load up when i boot from menu
[01:40] <Guest28494> Please can someone aqnswer?
[01:40] <rezzy> pradeep: yup but i dont know what to do from that
[01:40] <martian> thune3: but of course =D
[01:41] <pradeep> rezzy, on your terminal
[01:41] <kassah> I have an UPS Thermal Printer... I was wondering how I'd find a driver for it?
[01:41] <hiexpo> otocus,  - i never switched i believe if it's not broke don't fix it
[01:41] <otocus> rezzy, maybe you should try to experiment on some vmm like  vmware (player is free) or the one from sun (something..box i cant recall)
[01:41] <kassah> or unload it fully so vbox can pass through the usb
[01:41] <martian> Guest28494: a server on a wireless connection... yeah not common.
[01:41] <rezzy> pradeep: im on terminal
[01:41] <otocus> virtualbox
[01:41] <pradeep> rezzy, sudo gedit /etc/wvdialconf
[01:41] <otocus> yea
[01:41] <sb750sux> dmraid -s -vv gives me "ERROR: pdc: zero sectors on /dev/sda ERROR: pdc: setting up RAID device /dev/sda
[01:41] <Guest28494> Martian, really?
[01:41] <pradeep> rezzy, insert the informations from ur isp
[01:41] <rezzy> isp?
[01:42] <Guest28494> Martian I'm willing to bet many home servers are wireless
[01:42] <rezzy> internet service provider
[01:42] <nebbin> hey. can i use an external HD to load Ubuntu to my computer. The Universal installer for putting the ISO onto a USB does not recognize the HD as a removable storage device.??
[01:42] <hiexpo> otocus,  - go back to 9.10 i think you'll be better off
[01:42] <otocus> so.. my input devices work ok if i use them as sound devices (like if i talk on the mic, i hear mi voice at the same instant) but if i try to rec from them... there is always a delay... any hints?
[01:42] <rezzy> where do i find that information
[01:42] <martian> Guest28494: are you really asking me if I'm being serious in regards to a server being on a wireless network or are you asking rhetorical questions?
[01:42] <josedose> can anybody help i cant get to ubuntu synaptic package manager i get a error emalformed line55 in source list/etc/apt/source list luri parse.     the list of source could not be read
[01:42] <codebrainz> kassah, what's the make/model number?
[01:43] <pradeep> is the dongle a plug n play device
[01:43] <rezzy> pradeep: i'm reinstalling for a friend , how do i find out the isp ?
[01:43] <Vigo_> Guest28494: Yes, did you try a Netisnatall?
[01:43] <pradeep> cos every dongle has a work around
[01:43] <daddysmurf> what's the advantage of using a 32-bit system over a 64-bit system?
[01:43] <Guest28494> Martian, I am asking are you serious, why wouldn't they think about that? Or even letting you install everything onto a dvd so you don't have this
[01:43] <martian> josedose: paste the contents of yours to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link it here
[01:43] <zsoc> is there no tinyXml package in the ubuntuu repos?
[01:43] <codebrainz> daddysmurf, reuse of old hardware :)
[01:43] <rezzy> pradeep: its usb i have no idea if its plug and play
[01:44] <kassah> codebrainz, Zebra LP2844 (Labels itself UPS Thermal 2844 to the computer)
[01:44] <daddysmurf> codebrainz: sorry, I was unclear... that's on 64-bit hardware
[01:44] <rezzy> pradeep: all i know is that on windows u put it in and pressed connect
[01:44] <hiexpo> netinstall / upgrade = Train Wreck  \\\ Guaranteed
[01:44] <Vigo_> Guest28494: Here is the page...a page> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations
[01:44] <kassah> daddysmurf, for me? support for 8GB of ram without using tricks
[01:45] <martian> Guest28494: because as I initially asserted, I doubt it happens very often. I've never heard of anyone running a server wirelessly. I would suspect that most people jam their server in the same corner as their router.
[01:45] <pradeep> rezzy, when you connect it on ubuntu click ont the network manager you should see it there
[01:45] <daddysmurf> kassah: that's the driving reason for me to use 64-bit ubuntu... but the site suggests 32-bit
[01:45] <codebrainz> daddysmurf, no advantage really, unless you have some weird software that doesn't support 64-bit
[01:45] <deexannihilate> Can someone walk me through using Super Grub to fix my booting
[01:45] <daddysmurf> codebrainz: ty, 64 it is
[01:45] <hiexpo> daddysmurf,  use 32 bit it's better
[01:45] <daddysmurf> hiexpo: why?
[01:45] <kassah> daddysmurf, software compatability (especially proprietary programs such as flash) is slightly better on 32bit
[01:46] <jakexks> apart from proprietary programs, there's no reason to use 32 bit
[01:46] <Guest28494> Martian, some people merely can't due to circumstances and I don't think it'd be so hard of them to add wireless-tools
[01:46] <rezzy> pradeep: ove got network connections and network proxy, i have no idea where network manager is
[01:46] <martian> Guest28494: What is it preventing you from connecting to a wireless network on the server anyway?
[01:46] <nebbin> Can someone give me some advise about installing Ubuntu from a flash drive?
[01:46] <kassah> daddysmurf, I imagine flash is 99% of the reason for that recommendation.
[01:46] <hiexpo> daddysmurf,  because 64 bit becomes boggy and hangs
[01:46] <daddysmurf> I'm planning to run a vm with windows to over-come the 64-bit software limitations, as well as the no-photoshop-on-linux concept
[01:47] <jakexks> If you need flash, you're doing it wrong anyhow ;)
[01:47] <daddysmurf> I think I should be fine
[01:47] <kassah> codebrainz, it's not exactly a common printer except amoung places like pharmacies and shipping docks
[01:47] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Have you been able to boot Super GRUB2 Disk?
[01:47] <pradeep> rezzy, on the right top corner of your desktop
[01:47] <daddysmurf> jakexks: html5 ftw
[01:47] <codebrainz> kassah, i'll google around for a minute
[01:47] <kassah> codebrainz, they cost over $600... and print on a very small label... their industrial =)
[01:47] <rezzy> pradeep: where the wifi and that is ? where do i go on from there?
[01:47] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: I don't know how. :( I'm a failure at computers
[01:47] <codebrainz> kassah, is it serial or parallel or usb?
[01:47] <jbean> where can i get the testing/experimental/developmental kernels for ubuntu 10.04?
[01:47] <pradeep> rezzy, yes
[01:47] <rugabug> I have 10.04 and I can't find how to allow external VNC sessions
[01:47] <Guest28494> Martian, I can't move it to my server because of cable interference and I can't move the server because if it was moved it would be in the middle of a room
[01:48] <rezzy> pradeep: what do i go on now ?
[01:48] <daddysmurf> rugabug: check iptables
[01:48] <Guest28494> And I don't have room in the room and the server is very loud
[01:48] <kassah> codebrainz, USB
[01:48] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Are you trying to burn it to a CD or do you want to make a bootable flash drive?
[01:48] <mdgeorge1> hello
[01:48] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: I used unetbootin and have burned it to a flash drive.
[01:48] <xubuntu> Hi guys I'm testing for the first time Xubuntu.
[01:48] <rugabug> smurf I'm new to this and don't know what that is
[01:48] <mdgeorge1> what's the easiest way to find out what version of ubuntu you're running?
[01:48] <Vigo_> Guest28494: Did you see the link I posted?
[01:49] <slim1> UCD?
[01:49] <mdgeorge1> I'm used to "cat /etc/redhat_release"
[01:49] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: I doubt that unetbootin will work with Super GRUB2 Disk.
[01:49] <codebrainz> kassah, have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9319169
[01:49] <edbian> mdgeorge1, cat /etc/ubuntu_version   I believe
[01:49] <deexannihilate>  Jordan_U: what else shall I do? Is there a way to verify if it did work correctly?
[01:49] <Guest28494> Vigo, I can't if I can't connect wirelessly
[01:49] <hiexpo> daddysmurf,  OK good luck   /// biyacondios  amigo  don't say i did not 'tell ya
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> lsb_release -a
[01:49] <trism> mdgeorge1: lsb_release -a
[01:50] <mdgeorge1> thanks
[01:50] <philsf> hi. everytime I boot my netbook, the bluetooth applet is on. how do I make it remember to stay off, when I turn it off?
[01:50] <mdgeorge1> edbian: there's no ubuntu_version
[01:50] <kassah> codebrainz, I suspect there is a module attached to it even though it's not fully installed preventing VirtualBox from being able to make use of it. so a way to look determine which modules were using a usb device would also work
[01:50] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Do you have a Linux machine that you can use to make the bootable flash drive? Is it OK if the current contents of the flash drive are wiped?
[01:50] <the_file> why does my ati card work on older versions of ubuntu like 9.10 but **NOT** the new 10.04
[01:50] <the_file> ??
[01:51] <Bad_Command> Hey I'm having trouble getting a new ubuntu install running on my new netbook.  It looks like the initrd is jamming up.  Setup works fine.  I've also updated using a rescue disk in the hopes that it woudl fix it.
[01:51] <edbian> mdgeorge1, /etc/issue
[01:51] <codebrainz> kassah, your vbox host is linux and the vbox guest is linux?
[01:51] <edbian> mdgeorge1, Every distro has their own method.  That's annoying I think.
[01:51] <deexannihilate>  Jordan_U: Yes and Yes.
[01:51] <mdgeorge1> ah.  lsb_release -a worked for me
[01:51] <pradeep> tried install vmware workstation
[01:51] <kassah> codebrainz, guest is windows... working on a work project that requires me to program an app that prints to it...
[01:51] <pradeep> but i get these error
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> lsb => linux standards base (i think)
[01:51] <pradeep> Building module with command: /usr/bin/make -C /tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmmon-only auto-build SUPPORT_SMP=1 HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc GREP=/usr/bin/make IS_GCC_3=no VMCCVER=4.4.3
[01:51] <Guest28494> Martian, is there a way to once install ubuntu desktop uninstall all unneccsary stuff and install all neccesary packages?
[01:51] <the_file> bad_command: try running puppy linux with gparted, delete ALL the partitions
[01:51] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, then you need to use a utility called "dd" to put the SG2D image onto the flash drive.
[01:52] <kassah> codebrainz, if it's supported in linux... I can just share it to the windows box... if it's pass-thru-able... that works even better
[01:52] <rezzy> where from there?!?!?!?!
[01:52] <the_file> bad_command: then install ubuntu from from usb
[01:52] <rezzy> im on the network manager, damn its so complicated 8-)
[01:52] <Dr_Willis> Guest28494:  write a script removing what you think is unneeded and installing what you want
[01:52] <josedose> so i did now what
[01:52] <hiexpo> philisf  preferances > startup apps
[01:52] <codebrainz> kassah, good point, i forgot about a net share
[01:52] <Bad_Command> the_file: heh no thanks, I'm not going to delete all partitions.  This is a weird issue with the init root disk.
[01:52] <kassah> codebrainz, sadly, I havn't managed to convince the warehouse to switch to linux yet lol
[01:52] <Vigo_> Guest28494: That does not make any sense, you are in IRC, you are connected somehow, here is the link:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations
[01:52] <deexannihilate>  Jordan_U: Can I get it in it Synaptic?
[01:52] <josedose> martian u there
[01:53] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: First, find out what the device name for your flash drive is. It's important that you are sure about this as you don't want to whipe the wrong drive.
[01:53] <Guest28494> Vigo_ that would be because I'm on my phone
[01:53] <the_file> kassah: just spread a virus over their network
[01:53] <rezzy> anyone..............
[01:53] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: It comes with Ubuntu by default, it's a terminal based utility.
[01:53] <deexannihilate>  Jordan_U: how do I find the name for the flash drive?
[01:53] <Vigo_> Guest28494: Ah, ok, Thank you, I was very confused with that...
[01:53] <codebrainz> kassah, i'm not useful with printers, i don't have one, but i know the older-style serial/parallel ones are super easy to interface with even without drivers
[01:54] <rezzy> nvm ill go back to windows
[01:54] <Guest28494> Vigo_ no problem
[01:54] <thinkpaduser> where is here?
[01:54] <Bad_Command> the_file: I'm going to dissect the initrd image to see if I can figure it out, was hoping someone would know if this is a current issue
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> rezzy:  ive not even see n you ask a question...
[01:54] <kassah> codebrainz, thanks for looking =)
[01:54] <codebrainz> yo
[01:54] <the_file> bad_command: maybe ubuntu is not a good idea
[01:54] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Open System > Administration > Disk utility and select your flash drive from the list on the left.
[01:54] <thinkpaduser> oh,my god!
[01:54] <rezzy> Dr_Willis: im trying to sort out a 3g dongle
[01:54] <the_file> bad_command: there are other distors
[01:54] <rezzy> but its not working
[01:54] <kassah> codebrainz, yeah... all of mine are network printers... this whole usb thing is foreign to me lol
[01:55] <manuel__> alguien tiene el link de ubuntu-es?
[01:55] <thinkpaduser> Who can talk with me?
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> rezzy:  you have checked tghe forums for your specific dongle?
[01:55] <Guest28494> Is there a way to run ubuntu desktop and then kill X?
[01:55] <kassah> thinkpaduser, I can... but will I?
[01:55] <Guest28494> So you have a command line
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> Guest28494:  'sudo service gdm stop'
[01:55] <Bad_Command> the_file: ubuntu makes me happy.  good ideas make me happy.  therefore ubuntu is a good idea.  ;)
[01:55] <Guest28494> Dr_willis thanks
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> Guest28494:  or just alt-cttrl-f1 to get to console
[01:55] <deexannihilate>  Jordan_U: I don't have anything called disk utility
[01:55] <the_file> bad_command: its nothing special, really
[01:55] <rezzy> Dr_Willis: yup but its to complicated so im going to install windows on it, only problem when i burn a iso on ubuntu, the windows disc wont load up from start up
[01:55] <thinkpaduser> kassah, I come here first time!
[01:55] <kassah> thinkpaduser, diddn't see any questions from you... did you ask one?
[01:56] <kassah> thinkpaduser, welcome! =)
[01:56] <Guest28494> Dr_Willis well I don't want x running if I won't be using it that'll just eat up my resources
[01:56] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: What version of Ubuntu / what distro are you using?
[01:56] <michaelxq> Where can i find my Onscreen Keyboard?
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> Guest28494:  you got a box so old that it will matter? scary.
[01:56] <deexannihilate>  Jordan_U: Eeebuntu
[01:56] <thinkpaduser> Yes,I have no questions
[01:56] <MACCOLLINS> hi
[01:56] <crunchbang> hey
[01:56] <exe> buf
[01:56] <codebrainz> Bad_Command, where/how does it jam up?  any errors/messages?
[01:56] <exe> hola
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> Guest28494:  you can disable the gdm servuice if you want it never to start
[01:57] <rezzy> anyways im out
[01:57] <thinkpaduser> Kassah,how long do you here?
[01:57] <kassah> thinkpaduser, awsome =) you should hang out and answer the questions you can... and just have a good time =) what makes these places so great is that everyone is willing to help everyone else out =)
[01:57] <putlipoti> hello
[01:57] <putlipoti> anyone know the latest or best way for creating livecds
[01:57] <Guest28494> Dr_willis edit the daemon file right?
[01:57] <kassah> thinkpaduser, I'm not here a whole lot... mostly because the traffic is a bit high for me... I come when I have questions.. =)
[01:57] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, then run "sudo blkid" in a terminal. It will output information on all of your drives / partitions (hopefully you will be able to tell from this infomation which is your flash drive)
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> Guest28494:  just rename it.  /etc/init/gdm.conf  to gdm.DONTSTART
[01:58] <kassah> thinkpaduser, also... if I stayed in here all day... I'd never leave.. because I'd try to answer everyones questions =)
[01:58] <codebrainz> putlipoti, does best == simplest?
[01:58] <kassah> thinkpaduser, but I do hang out in a lot of other channels that a little lower traffic to help out people there =)
[01:58] <Vigo_> Watoosh: How is that running for you?
[01:58] <thinkpaduser> well,but I just fresh man,
[01:58] <michaelxq> Where can i find my Onscreen Keyboard?
[01:58] <Watoosh> im prob not the best to answer questions but i dont suck thats for sure

[01:58] <philsf> hi. everytime I boot my netbook, the bluetooth applet is on. how do I make it remember to stay off, when I turn it off?
[01:58] <Bad_Command> codebrainz:  non-rescue boot only shows blinking cursor, recovery mode last printout is a kernel ata/SATA printout
[01:59] <thinkpaduser> Kassah,I just use linux first time!
[01:59] <kassah> thinkpaduser, we all started there =) it's a fun place to be... when everything is new... =)
[01:59] <codebrainz> Bad_Command, about not being able to mount the root filesystem?
[01:59] <putlipoti> codebrainz: hey hows it going
[01:59] <Vigo_> michaelxq: Have you installed it?
[01:59] <codebrainz> good nuff
[01:59] <ross_> how would you get to the task manager screen on ubuntu so you can close out programs/running applets
[02:00] <Watoosh> i finaly figured out how to use VB shared folders with crunch bang
[02:00] <michaelxq> Vigo_, yes and i can't find it
[02:00] <Watoosh> happy day
[02:00] <kassah> thinkpaduser, now if there is something I can't figure out... I get frustrated... because I've been using linux for over 10 years now... but I've had freshmen help me with my problems that I couldn't solve...
[02:00] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: (please use pastebin next time). It looks like you have two flash drives, is the Lexar one the one you want to use for SG2D?
[02:00] <Vigo_> michaelxq: Running a GUI like Gnome?
[02:00] <putlipoti> codebrainz: now check this, I want to make an edubutu clone, but I dont like thier themes, installed apps...I want something similar but tweaked, now if I wanted to create a distro like this im guessing start with base ubuntu and just isntall apps and then make a distro/package
[02:00] <gverig> I feel like a retard... Can anybody please explain to me why nvidia-current has no references (direct dependency or recommended install or wahtever) on the current kernel headers and why does installation succeed without them?! I sort of understand why it might be a hard problem (it does not need the latest, it does not need some specific version but it does need to have headers for whatever is current) hiding "oh... I wasn't able to build the module...
[02:00] <Bad_Command> codebrainz: no, no complaints like that.  caps lock key does not toggle when pressed.  When I've booted using the livecd, there were no logs in /var/log
[02:01] <Odd-rationale> ross_: system -> admin -> system monitor
[02:01] <michaelxq> Vigo_, gnome
[02:01] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: and it is the Lexar and sorry I didn't know what pastebin was!
[02:01] <edbian> ross_, system -> admin -> system monitor
[02:01] <edbian> ross_, Or, in a term: ps -e
[02:01] <Watoosh> that guy was right this # is really high trafic
[02:01] <Watoosh> lol
[02:01] <thinkpaduser> Kassah,thanks
[02:01] <codebrainz> putlipoti, there's a tutorial (google Live CD From Scratch) that pretty much explains the process, sounds like you have the basic idea, that tutorial will fill in the blanks
[02:02] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, run "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" to be sure that the flash drive isn't mounted.
[02:02] <Vigo_> michaelxq: Did you restart after installing it?
[02:02] <codebrainz> putlipoti, there's also programs that automate the whole process to an extent, but I've never used them
[02:02] <putlipoti> thanks codebrainz

[02:02] <michaelxq> Vigo_ , in general i can't find my assistive technologies
[02:02] <ross_> ps -e? let's try it

[02:03] <pradeep> or windows
[02:03] <thinkpaduser> if I want have a talk with you alone?How can I do?
[02:03] <rezzy> pradeep: also i burnt it with braseo , onl owest speed, but its still not booting from bios
[02:04] <Vigo_> michaelxq: That is one place for it, depends on that pkg. it should have just installed, but some Utilities and Assistive Utilities require a restart to load properly.
[02:04] <ubuntu_red> hello, finally achieved it was the driver TL-WN422G wifi adapter, with the kernel and putting this firmware 02.06.1935 ar9271.fw in / lib / firmware, apart from this newer kernel that firmware 0.35 was needed to make it function
[02:04] <ubuntu_red> install wicd, but only does well when the network is open when you authenticate with wpa2 but not doing well is very slow, so slow that it does not load anything and the local pings also has a 90% packet loss and very few ms high because is it?
[02:04] <pradeep> rezzy, did you set your boot option to boot from cd
[02:04] <rezzy> pradeep: how do you do tht in braseo
[02:04] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Tell me when you're done with running umount.
[02:05] <edbian> rezzy, You set the boot device in the bios.
[02:05] <pradeep> rezzy,  I MEAN FROM BIOS
[02:05] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: sorry, I meant I was done
[02:05] <rezzy> pradeep: yes i put cd rom first
[02:05] <michaelxq> Vigo_ , i'll try and let you know

[02:06] <pradeep> rezzy, hmm
[02:07] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, now run "sudo dd if=Downloads/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso of=/dev/sdb". That command assumes that the SG2D image is in your downloads folder, be sure that you type it exactly as again you don't want to wipe the wrong drive.
[02:07] <pradeep> rezzy, you sure that iso is bootable iso
[02:07] <edbian> rezzy, pradeep If you set the bios correctly you should get it to say something like "disc is not bootable" or similar

[02:09] <yoshie> Jordan_U , are you reffering to me?
[02:09] <rezzy> when u set up a 3g dongle, do u have to go into mobile broadband ext and type in the username and password?
[02:10] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: done
[02:10] <Jordan_U> yoshie: No.
[02:10] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, the flsh drive should be bootable now.
[02:11] <rezzy> anyone? when u set up a 3g dongle do u hae to type in the username and password?
[02:12] <ubuntu_red> hello, finally achieved it was the driver TL-WN422G wifi adapter, with the kernel and putting this firmware 2.6.35 ar9271.fw in / lib / firmware, apart from this newer kernel that firmware .35 was needed to make it function install wicd, but only does well when the network is open when you authenticate with wpa2 but not doing well is very slow, so slow that it does not load anything and the local pings also has a 90% packet loss and very few ms high becau

[02:13] <rezzy> hello?
[02:14] <philsf> everytime I boot my netbook, the bluetooth applet is on. how do I make it remember to stay off, when I turn it off?
[02:14] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Boot from it, since I don't remember your original problem I can't really tell you more than that :)
[02:14] <yoshie> Did i ask the wrong question in here?
[02:14] <rezzy> all i want to know is do u have to enter your username and password into the dongle then im sorted
[02:14] <codebrainz> lor, i think it's called 'indicator-me', so apt-get remove that thing i said
[02:15] <rezzy> :@:@:@
[02:15] <fjl> rezzy: you need to enter your PIN
[02:15] <Jordan_U> imaginativeone: Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer
[02:15] <rezzy> wheres the pin?
[02:15] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: Is there something you can link me to that can help me? I really don't know how to do it. I'm just trying to boot the computer. I had a DVD driver attached and I switched back to the orginal CD drive and linux is trying to book from that drive instead of the OS.
[02:15] <imaginativeone> Jordan_U: thanks!
[02:15] <Jordan_U> imaginativeone: You're welcome.
[02:15] <codebrainz> imaginativeone,what Jordan_U said is the Ubuntu name for Baobab iirc
[02:15] <rezzy> fjl: wheres the pin
[02:16] <raki_> hi
[02:16] <codebrainz> such a nice program too
[02:16] <fjl> rezzy: you should have received a PIN with your contract
[02:16] <rezzy> soon as i get the pin i can connect ?
[02:16] <rezzy> thats all i want to know
[02:17] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: I thought this was a netbook without a CD drive?
[02:17] <fjl> rezzy: if you don't have a PIN it should work without any configuration
[02:17] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: Yes. The computer I am using now is a netbook with no cd drive. But I'm trying to fix my desktop.
[02:18] <rezzy> fjl: its plugged in, ive set it up via mobile broadband how do i get it to connect?
[02:18] <ThePCKid-> ...and now I'm back from evil #ubuntu-offtopic :P
[02:18] <coz_> :)
[02:18] <jake_> hi i have a question about mysql for ubuntu is anyone here able to help me?
[02:18] <deexannihilate> Jordan_u: I figured out how to load it.. but what do I select from the menu?
[02:18] <fjl> rezzy: hit connect?
[02:18] <scoprion> haiiiillllllllllllllllllll
[02:18] <josedose> how do i go to my repository dialog?anybody
[02:18] <rugabug> I need somebody to walk me through being able to vnc to my linux box externally
[02:18] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, and when you try to boot the desktop it boots from the CD drive instead of the hard drive? I still don't quite understand what is happening.
[02:18] <rezzy> fjl: theres no connect button.......
[02:19] <scoprion> how is the sky since yesterday
[02:19] <jake_> anyone?
[02:19] <johan_joe> hi
[02:19] <cmwslw> does anyone have an idea why this init script (http://pastie.org/1045015) does not create a .pid file?
[02:19] <fjl> rezzy: right click on the network manager icon
[02:19] <Pici> !ot | scoprion
[02:19] <rezzy> fjl: the provider is on the desktop but that wont load, so i went into network manager, entered the mobile broadband provder
[02:19] <cmwslw> since it has no .pid file it can't stop
[02:19] <scoprion> its an ubuntu topix
[02:19] <scoprion> its an ubuntu topic
[02:20] <josedose> anybody knows how to go to ur reposiyory dialog
[02:20] <rezzy> fjl: i have right clicked it
[02:20] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: The "Detect any GRUB2 configuration file (grub.cfg)" should allow you to boot into Ubuntu. (still not quite sure what your situation is though)
[02:20] <josedose> repository dialog
[02:20] <rugabug> Can somebody help me with VNC?
[02:20] <johan_joe> my firefox cannot preview my fb's picture
[02:20] <fjl> rezzy: you should see a menu
[02:21] <rezzy> fjl: i see 3 internet 1... last used never.... add .... edit and delete
[02:21] <jake_> can someone help me with mysql?
[02:21] <DSSA> Any advice as to why I can't see my Ubuntu 10.04 computer and its files on my windows network, but can access the windows machines from the Ubuntu machine?
[02:21] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: That's what you told me last time. So, I had installed a DVD drive last year but it wouldn't work with the CD drive plugged in. I needed to use the CD drive, so I plugged it in and when I restarted it, the computer loaded upto the OS selection page, but offered no selections. I think we determined that it was trying to boot from one of those drives.
[02:21] <jeffgreenca> jake_: what about it?
[02:21] <fjl> rezzy: i meant the notification bar icon
[02:22] <SuffoKate> does anyone know how i can enter #Zdaemon?
[02:22] <scoprion> ELISA SYNDROM AS BOT pleaaaaaaaaaaase
[02:22] <rezzy> fjl: theres  emable netoworking, wireless and notifacation plus edit connections
[02:22] <IdleOne> SuffoKate: you probably need to complete registration of your nick and then /msg nickserv identify password
[02:23] <SuffoKate> IdleOne :TY
[02:23] <fjl> rezzy: and if you left click iter ?
[02:23] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, does the "List devices/partitions" option list anything other than the flash drive itself?
[02:23] <egmachado> Can anybody here help me to configure my microphone? Since the 8.10 version of Ubuntu that I can't record anything. My sound card is 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[02:23] <rezzy> fjl: just comes up with all the wifi available, vpn connecions
[02:23] <SuffoKate> Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services <--- thats wat im getting
[02:24] <rezzy> connections*
[02:24] <IdleOne> SuffoKate: then yes, check your email to complete nick registration
[02:24] <zespri> Hello all, When I run: 'sudo -u myuser -i ls' I get '/bin/ls: /bin/ls: cannot execute binary file'. If I just run 'sudo -u myuser -i' and then ls, it works. This problem happening on one installation only and it works fine on all other machines. What could be the issue?
[02:25] <egmachado> And the funny thing is that the microphone works perfectly when I run the system in Livecd, but after the installation on HD, it stops working...
[02:25] <IdleOne> SuffoKate: after that is done you will need to identify with /msg nickserv identify password
[02:25] <rugabug> will somebody help me with vnc?
[02:25] <egmachado> I've tried to do everything, but nothing works... And I need to use my mic!
[02:26] <SuffoKate> IdleOne: ty once again :D
[02:26] <un214> Is there a good way to install directly to /dev/hda (to make mounting images from the host easier)?
[02:26] <fjl> rezzy: i don't know then. i am able to select mobile broadband as a connection in the menu and it works
[02:26] <scoprion> ThePCKid-, YOU SEEN NOT LIKE ELISA SYNDROM so fuck away kid
[02:26] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: it has UUID 2010-05-16-23-41-07-00 in Partition hd0, 1: unknown filesystem and Device hd1: Partition hd1,1: filesystem type ntfs, uuis e2a019ca01d786d

[02:27] <fjl> rezzy: no
[02:27] <zultell> hello
[02:27] <bobby111> well my name hasd changed!!
[02:27] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: it also says Device fd0: unknown filesystemm
[02:27] <zultell> can anyone he;p me
[02:27] <ThePCKid-> !language | scoprion
[02:27] <zultell> help*
[02:28] <zultell> i wanna ask something
[02:28] <fjl> un214: that's a bad idea
[02:28] <Pici> !ask
[02:28] <egmachado> Please, anybody, how can I set my sound card up?
[02:28] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, do you have Ubuntu installed on your desktop or just windows?
[02:28] <deexannihilate> zultell: ask and if someone can help, they will
[02:28] <un214> fjl: it's a disk in an image file (qemu)
[02:28] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: they were both installed and both worked before I switched the drives
[02:28] <un214> kind of hard to mount an option within an image file
[02:29] <un214> s/option/partition
[02:29] <zultell> its any other software can use like alkohol 120%
[02:29] <zultell> in ubuntu
[02:29] <rezzy> fjl: any reason why it aint showing up or is there any other way where i can find the connection?
[02:29] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Try the "Detect Any OS" option. Did you install Ubuntu inside Windows?
[02:30] <deexannihilate> Jordan_u: I believe I did install it inside windows as a dual boot
[02:30] <Jordan_U> un214: You can do it by specifying an offset to losetup.
[02:30] <un214> duh
[02:30] <deexannihilate> Jordan_u: it says windows nt/2000/xp loader
[02:31] <rezzy> why aint there no connect button :(
[02:31] <zultell> any other software can use like alkohol 120% i mean to mount iso or mds file
[02:31] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, then that explains why there is only the ntfs partition. Selecting "windows nt/2000/xp loader" should bring you to another menu where you can choose to boot either windows or Ubuntu.
[02:31] <eMyller> rezzy: did you get it working? sorry, i lost my connection some minutes ago.

[02:31] <rezzy> eMyller: ive got into the mobile broadband settings but seems to be no connect button
[02:31] <heg> rezzy: is your device is reconized by the system?
[02:32] <zultell> not for burn but for install the game
[02:32] <rezzy> heg: well it seems like the brand of the device is showing on the desktop
[02:32] <eMyller> rezzy: so it was rcognized as a usb stick
[02:32] <eMyller> rezzy: install usb-modeswitch
[02:32] <heg> rezzy: how you connect the device? usb?
[02:32] <rezzy> eMyller: i think so , yes usb
[02:32] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: I need to leave fairly soon.
[02:32] <heg> rezzy: lsusb
[02:33] <eMyller> rezzy: go to terminal, sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
[02:33] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: it never loads
[02:33] <Daijoubu> How to allow BOINC in Firestarter ?
[02:33] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: that's fine. it can wait for another day
[02:34] <rezzy> i hope this works x]
[02:34] <zultell> i try furius but is cant because after read cd1 install need cd2 ,i mount using furius not detect that cd
[02:34] <rezzy> eMyller: installed that what now ?
[02:34] <eMyller> rezzy: restart with your modem connected
[02:35] <rezzy> eMyller: ok x)
[02:35] <deexannihilate> Jordan_u: quick question. if I just order a new cd, can I just wipe the entire system and start over. there isn't anything important on the computer as far as programs or documents. would it correct the problem?
[02:35] <dlbike76> hello.  Is there a way to make the brightness keys on my laptop adjust the brightness levels in power management?
[02:36] <ThePCKid> @dlbike76: I don't know...
[02:36] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Most likely, yes.
[02:36] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: ok. thank you soo much for your help
[02:37] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: is there a way to just uninstall ubuntu without uninstalling windows/
[02:38] <pradeep> deexannihilate, are you dual booting
[02:38] <pradeep> or wubi install
[02:38] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ubuntu is likely the only thing that will boot at all currently, uninstalling it would leave you with pretty much nothing that you could boot.
[02:38] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: gah. alright. thanks!
[02:38] <ThePCKid> @deexannihilate: Yes. Go into the remove programs thing and uninstall Ubuntu
[02:39] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: If you ask later I can walk you through getting Ubuntu to boot again.
[02:39] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: I'll check with you tomorrow if you are available. thanks again
[02:41] <rezzy> eMyller: u there
[02:41] <Bad_Command> codebrainz: I think it is the splash screen that is causing problems.  the thing boots fine with nosplash on the command line

[02:42] <rezzy> eMyller: ????????
[02:42] <eMyller> rezzy: yeah

[02:43] <rezzy> eMyller: thankyou so much mate, if i could pay you i would but i hae no money :L
[02:43] <eMyller> rezzy: see? you just needed to install usb-modeswitch, like i said hours ago. :)
[02:43] <DSSA> I'm trying to share folders from my ubuntu computer to the XP computers.  I'm to the point where this tutorial is stating to go to SYSTEM|ADMINISTRATION|SHARED FOLDERS but that's not in ADMINISTRATION on my computer.  The other option it gives is to type in "shares-admin" in the terminal but it doesn't work either and says: "No command 'share-admin' found, did you mean:
[02:43] <DSSA>  Command 'shares-admin' from package 'gnome-system-tools' (main)
[02:43] <DSSA> share-admin: command not found
[02:43] <DSSA> "
[02:43] <FloodBot2> DSSA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:44] <eMyller> rezzy: haha. yw :)
[02:44] <rezzy> eMyller: i should of listened alcohol was a bad choice :P
[02:44] <DSSA> whoops, sorry
[02:44] <Bad_Command> codebrainz: not sure, whatever it would autodetect.  This is a netbook, native resolution is something like 1200x700 or something
[02:44] <rezzy> eMyller: but seriosuly very helpful wheres linux admins recomend u i should xD
[02:45] <pradeep> rezzy, is it working now
[02:45] <rezzy> pradeep : it is mate and thanks for the help too
[02:45] <codebrainz> Bad_Command, maybe look into specifying it manually to the kernel.  it used to be the vga=XXX option, i think it's called video=STUFF now with the newer framebuffer drivers
[02:45] <CAPcap> i want to install a different distro to a flash drive. Where should I start?
[02:46] <DSSA> Can anyone help with setting up the Shared Folders on Ubuntu with my XP computers?
[02:46] <sebsebseb> CAPcap: unetbootin can do other distros as well I think
[02:46] <zus> after deleteing  .winetrickscache and winetricks and .wine i should be left with a clean wine correct?
[02:47] <DSSA> the online tutorials won't work.  Xbuntu doesn't have it in the menu, and the script they tell me to enter doesn't work in terminal
[02:47] <aby> irc have video audio support?
[02:47] <rezzy> eMyller: so everytime i plug it in now it should work :D ?
[02:47] <Bad_Command> codebrainz: Ahh, ok.  I think I'll just put nosplash in my grub config for now.  Should I report this bug elsewhere?  This would be brutal for a new user
[02:47] <aby> empathy
[02:47] <EgyParadox> aby:IRC is old technology

[02:48] <pradeep> rezzy, what did you do
[02:48] <Pici> aby: no
[02:48] <pradeep> eMyller, what is usb-modeswitch
[02:48] <aby> ohk
[02:48] <rezzy> pradeep: usb-modeswitcg
[02:49] <hylian> hello a while back i was getting an error at boot saying press s because it couldnt mount my ntfs partition. is this a ntfs-config error? i have searched the net, sometimes i can fix this problem for a session or two by fixing fstab, but it looks like something is undoing my work or something..??
[02:49] <Aiya> I want to update my ubuntu but its showing this error W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc-bin_2.10.1-0ubuntu16_i386.deb Could not resolve 'proxy.uthm.edu.my' ..
[02:49] <Aiya> Im not using any proxy longer how do i configure it not to use proxy server.
[02:50] <Adola> Is there anyway to determine which applications are using my soundcard?
[02:50] <realubot> Is there any security issues downgrading gdm to 2.20 in Ubuntu 10.04?
[02:51] <zus> aby in synaptic packagemanager there is  "telapathy-sofiasip" for empathy to handle video from gtalk i believe
[02:51] <codebrainz> Bad_Command, not sure where the issue is, either vesafb/uvesafb or xsplash (think this is what ubuntu uses now) i would suspect.  you could remove xsplash and see if the issue persists, then you'd know which project to raise the issue with
[02:51] <aby> thx zus
[02:51] <zus> aby welcome
[02:51] <eMyller> pradeep: is a program (that is in ubuntu repos) that has a nice set of workarounds for usb deviced do what they're really intended to
[02:51] <zus> aby i have yet to try it though. :)
[02:52] <aby> hehe
[02:52] <eMyller> pradeep: google may give you a better description
[02:52] <pradeep> eMyller, ok thanks
[02:52] <Bad_Command> codebrainz: ok sounds good, thanks

[02:57] <slimjimflim> hiya, i got 'the update information is outdated.  this may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available.  please update manually by clicking on this icon and then selecting 'check for updates' and check if some of the listed repositories fail.' but i don't get any errors when i click
[02:57] <hylian> for some reason ubuntu changes the drive path from sda1 to sdb1. so i get mounting errors. why is it doing this?
[02:58] <enzotib> hylian: use UUID, that don't change
[02:58] <hylian> enzotil how do i find the uuid? top?
[02:58] <enzotib> hylian: sudo blkid
[02:59] <hylian> ok cool, so then just call the uuid in fstab, and that should fix it?
[02:59] <enzotib> hylian: in fstab, instead of, say, /dev/sda1 you put UUID="aasdf87a9s8f7a98"
[02:59] <enzotib> something like that
[03:00] <hylian> enzotib thanx man, ima go try that right now!
[03:00] <danz_d_man> Hey, could someone help me get a laptop online?
[03:01] <danz_d_man> When I plug in ethernet, it doesn't register, and when I connect wirelessly it's connected but there is no internet capability. It's Ubuntu 10.04.
[03:02] <rezzy> eMyller: sall good mate thank god i dont hve to put windows on anyway its 3 am im of peace xD
[03:03] <eMyller> rezzy: :)
[03:06] <iamchris> is there a suitable version of Ubuntu for laptops, thats not the netbook version, preferably one I can boot from a CDR
[03:06] <hylian> enzotib thanx again, worked like a dream.
[03:06] <danz_d_man> chris, I'm running the desktop version of ubuntu on my laptop right now
[03:06] <iamchris> is there a way to monitor the battery and wireless?
[03:06] <YankDownUnder> Desktop versions will fit on a normal CD
[03:07] <aby> im now in a netbook acerone atom inside
[03:07] <YankDownUnder> ...or a USB, for that matter
[03:07] <danz_d_man> Hey everyone, when I try to get online on a new laptop I bought, It connects to my wireless internet, but no internet is available. When I try to connect via ethernet, nothing happens. Can anyone help? I'm using my old laptop right now. (I already posted this, but I don't know if it went through.
[03:07] <aby> with desktop version
[03:08] <iamchris> awesome
[03:08] <iamchris> thank you all
[03:08] <danz_d_man> No problem. You're not iamchris4life right?
[03:08] <realubot> Will gdm 2.20 be more unsecure than newer versions?
[03:09] <DK__2> hello all! Im running Ubuntu Lucid, fully updated kernel, but theres a lag that ive had that i cant get rid of. the powerdown dialog lags 15 seconds, at startup the toolbars lag 30 seconds before theyre visable. any ideas?
[03:09] <YankDownUnder> realubot, Each progressive version of gdm is progressively less secure than the previous version. Eventually, there will be no security at all. (That's a joke, mate)
[03:10] <DK__2> heh yank
[03:10] <sudoman> is there a way to disallow easy viewing of passwords in the passwords and encryption keys program?, i.e. by requiring a password to see them?
[03:11] <judgen> anyone got experience with using wallpapers in AmiWM?
[03:11] <DK__2> anyone deal with late toolbars at startup?
[03:11] <YankDownUnder> DK__2, I've had that issue for a few boots, but it eventually went away. As well, I've re-tuned my system after the full update...which may have been the deciding factor.
[03:11] <Aiya> how do i reset the proxy server in connection.
[03:12] <DK__2> YankDownUnder: its really odd, ive tried a few things like killing compiz or starting a different kernel, no luck though
[03:12] <YankDownUnder> judgen, If I'm not mistaken, you have to use "xsetroot" or similar.
[03:13] <DK__2> YankDownUnder: i expected an update to fix this, but no luck so far
[03:13] <YankDownUnder> DK__2, 1.) Clear out everything in the /tmp and /var/tmp, run "ldconfig", don't bother with using a different kernel
[03:14] <danz_d_man> Anyone know how to get ethernet to work? I think the controller's showing up, but nothing happens when I plug the CAT5 cable in.
[03:14] <sec-r1z> the link which is here http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/maverick/alpha1 to download ubuntu 10.10 is broken
[03:14] <YankDownUnder> DK__2, Just for the record, I disabled my "changed plymouth theme" and went back to the standard...also double-checked my power settings
[03:15] <judgen> YankDownUnder, i thought it was just to put it in with some arg in .amiwmrc ...but maybe i was wrong.
[03:16] <YankDownUnder> danz_d_man, In a terminal, type: ifconfig eth0 => see what it says
[03:16] <YankDownUnder> judgen, Years ago, YEARS ago, when I played with AmiWM, I could tell you in a heartbeat...however, that was years ago mate...
[03:17] <DK__2> YankDownUnder:  thanks for helping, im gonna give your suggestions a try
[03:17] <DK__2> till bbl
[03:17] <sec-r1z> guys what is the latest ubuntu version
[03:17] <sec-r1z> 10.10 alpha 2 or alpha 3 ?
[03:17] <Aiya> Anyone has idea how to install vlc player in ubuntu?
[03:17] <sec-r1z> Aiya, apt-get install vlc
[03:18] <danz_d_man> Yank, I get "error fetching interface information: Device not found"
[03:18] <YankDownUnder> Aiya, apt-get install vlc
[03:19] <Aiya> apt-get install vlc
[03:19] <YankDownUnder> danz_d_man, You might want to find out if the ethernet card is disabled in the /etc/modules.d/blacklist.conf => put a hash in front of it if it's being blacklisted, reboot, try again
[03:19] <Aiya> apt-get install vlc
[03:19] <Aiya> how do i make it not to connect to proxy server?
[03:20] <YankDownUnder> Aiya, You'll have to be a bit more specific mate
[03:20] <YankDownUnder> judgen, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man1/amiwm.1.html
[03:20] <Roasted> sometimes when I boot up my laptop, it just goes to a black screen with a cursor. I cant do anything but force off a reboot. ITs currently sitting like this now - is there anything I can do while I have a 2nd pc in IRC to ask?
[03:20] <p1l0t> I swear I have this one server that changing the interfaces file does NOTHING I can set the address manually but changing the interfaces file has no effect. Everytime it reconnects it goes back to some other settings!
[03:20] <p1l0t> It can't be the syntax because this syntax works in every other ubuntu machine I have
[03:20] <A7med__> Aiya, you don't have
[03:21] <Roasted> alt f2 does nothing, f3 doesnt bring up terminal (thats my shortcut) I guess I have no choice...
[03:21] <YankDownUnder> Roasted, Double check the graphics driver you're using
[03:21] <Roasted> YankDownUnder, its an intel, embedded in kernel.
[03:21] <A7med__> Roasted, lspci |grep VGA
[03:21] <Flomaster> anyone know anything about XBMC and SVNS  ??????
[03:21] <A7med__> dats me sec-r1z :D
[03:21] <Krezkey> how do I re-enable Network Manager, it stopped working after updates and going into suspend to ram.
[03:21] <danz_d_man> Yank, I'm not understanding you. What do I do to find if it's blacklisted? (Sorry, I'm a complete Ubuntu newbie. I tried typing what you said in a terminal, it just said no file or directory)
[03:21] <Aiya> Last time i was using university connection so i have to use proxy setting in network proxy but now im longer using university connection so im not able to update coz its says cant connect to proxy server ...How do
[03:21] <Roasted> A7med_, sec, rebooting. cannot do anything (even that) when it wigs out
[03:22] <Aiya> how do I remove the proxy configuration
[03:22] <A7med__> danz_d_man, /etc/init.d/networking start
[03:22] <A7med__> /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:22] <YankDownUnder> Roasted, if anything, you can TRY putting "i915.modeline=1" in your kernel boot line
[03:23] <Roasted> A7med_, Intel Corp Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphcis Controller - Rev 07
[03:23] <YankDownUnder> Aiya, Edit the network connection, remove any proxy information.
[03:23] <Roasted> YankDownUnder, you think its a plymouth issue? I know fedora 12 wouldnt even boot thi sthing cause of the graphcis card ( plymouth related)
[03:23] <Aiya> YankDownUnder: under what I must edit it?
[03:23] <A7med__> Roasted, did u check your md5 ?
[03:23] <YankDownUnder> Roasted, I'd try modifying the kernel boot line like I said...worked on a laptop here today...same issue.
[03:24] <Flomaster> when running this command sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
[03:24] <Roasted> A7med_, md5 of what - the download?
[03:24] <danz_d_man> I'm getting "ifdown: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied" "if up: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied
[03:24] <Roasted> YankDownUnder, a dell latitude by chance?
[03:24] <YankDownUnder> Aiya, Right-click your network manager icon, choose EDIT CONNECTIONS, find your connection. Edit it.
[03:24] <Flomaster> I get this output: Reading package lists... Done

[03:33] <Krezkey> what command or process do I need to edit system files with admin priv's. Network manager stopped working and can'yt access the files.
[03:33] <CAPcap> im going to make a live usb just to play around with. im looking at dreamlinux and arch linux. any recommendations for which i should do?
[03:33] <ForestBear> hey guys I need to set a simple server so that when someone types my local ip (like 192.168.0.111 or whatever) it will redirect to something like 192.168.0.111/BLAH
[03:34] <sb750sux> CAPcap,  in the ubuntu channel... I'd say ubuntu
[03:34] <p1l0t> Ubuntu = WIN
[03:34] <TruXter> lol
[03:34] <CAPcap> well i already have that installed on my computer, i guess i'll ask in off-topic
[03:34] <sb750sux> ForestBear, sounds like iptables
[03:35] <TruXter> ok all. I have a question.
[03:35] <skumara> compiz in my ubuntu just stop responding. where do i find log files for my Nvidia display drivers?
[03:35] <p1l0t> !ask TruXter
[03:35] <p1l0t> !ask | TruXter
[03:35] <thune3> p1l0t: looks ok. have you rebooted, or restarted NetworkManager/nm-applet? i'm wondering of nm doesn't know about your changes and is clobbering. An entry in interfaces is supposed to be honored by nm.
[03:36] <TruXter> I have Xubuntu on a usb stick and want xubuntu to be fully installed on the usb. not just LIVE. I need it to save my settings each time i boot. What do i do ?
[03:36] <p1l0t> thune3: this is on my ubuntu server no network manager
[03:36] <ForestBear> sb750sux, doesn't iptables only redirect ports
[03:36] <TruXter> didn't ask to ask. told to hold you here while i typed.
[03:36] <danz_d_man> Hello again everyone, when I connect my laptop to wireless, it gets on the connection, but I don't have internet. Could anyone help?
[03:37] <p1l0t> TruXter: What do you mean fully installed?
[03:37] <CAPcap> p1l0t, he wants his settings to persist
[03:37] <p1l0t> Oh but from the USB
[03:38] <TruXter> well with KUbuntu i had it on a thumb like it was installed there. My bookmarks were saved always. and my open office documents were there  and i didn't have to re-copy them everytime I boot.
[03:38] <TruXter> yes cap ccap.
[03:38] <TruXter> capcap*
[03:38] <thune3> p1l0t: there should be info in /var/log/messages or dmesg output about how the interface is being setup. I'd look at logs for clues then. Sounds like some dhcp client is setting up interface when it shouldn't be.
[03:38] <p1l0t> thune3: thanks I'll check that
[03:39] <skumara> where does ubuntu store its log files and boot log files?
[03:39] <TruXter> oh, so capcap when I burned to the thumb i should have selected "persistant" ?
[03:39] <YankDownUnder> danz_d_man, Just another note on connections => change the MTU to 1500 and not "Automatic" => check that all the IPv4 settings are set for your network properly, and that IPv6 is setup for "Ignore" => that the settings are also for "All Users" and "Connect Automatically" => that should put you right.
[03:39] <CAPcap> TruXter, yeah probably
[03:39] <sb750sux> ForestBear,  nah  you can take one port to another
[03:39] <TruXter> dang.
[03:39] <TruXter> :-(
[03:40] <profxavier> is there a virus removal tool available ?
[03:40] <sb750sux> ForestBear,  -d port blah and stuff.. I have only used it to forward internet connections and havent delved into the NAT stuff
[03:40] <profxavier> i pulled an XP drive from another system, and would like to repair it
[03:40] <ForestBear> sb750sux, could you give an example on how I could do such a redirection rule then?
[03:40] <sb750sux> besides MASQUERADE
[03:40] <YankDownUnder> profxavier, use fprot or clamav
[03:40] <sb750sux> ForestBear,  is the incoming for a webpage?
[03:40] <profxavier> i think i have heard of clamav
[03:40] <TruXter> yes profxavier lol. unfortunately there is.. it's to install to  a thumb usb and not select "persistent" lol
[03:41] <profxavier> TruXter, sure
[03:41] <rsouthard> how can i setup syslog.conf to write logging message to their respected logs but also to one aggregated log?
[03:41] <p1l0t> thune3: Yeah I see some /usr/lib/NetworkrManager/nm.dhcp-client.action
[03:41] <TruXter> sorry, my issue would have completely prevented your issue lol. sorry i had to laugh at the irony and timing.
[03:41] <p1l0t> but I don't have NetworkManager installed
[03:42] <sb750sux> ForestBear,  iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 5580
[03:42] <ForestBear> sb750sux, but I'm trying to redirect to a directory
[03:42] <danz_d_man> Yank, when I set the MTU to 1500, it wouldn't connect anymore.
[03:42] <sb750sux> ForestBear,  so its a share?
[03:43] <sb750sux> ForestBear,  ohhh! let me think
[03:44] <sb750sux> ForestBear,  if its a web page, wouldnt a simple redirect from the main page be easier?
[03:44] <ForestBear> sb750sux, yeah I was just wondering if there's another way as I would need to set up a simple server but I got it, thanks :)
[03:45] <TruXter> "however, due to the additional write cycles that occur on a full blown install, the life of your flash drive may be reduced:  <--- = :(
[03:45] <skumara> when i start ubuntu it says kernal configuration invalid. and the error is caused by Nvidia. Nvidia driver did not load after that. how to solve this?
[03:45] <TruXter> well that answers the read write question.
[03:47] <profxavier> can I get some help with mounting a drive
[03:48] <Flomaster> profxavier: you want to mount on startup?
[03:48] <profxavier> its an IDE HD, connected via USB (IDE2USB, I am running Ubuntu in VMware and I am trying to add it as a shared drive
[03:48] <bebo_> hi to all
[03:48] <bebo_> any one know how make a share from my ubuntu to windows xp or any windows
[03:49] <p1l0t> !samba | bebo_
[03:49] <profxavier> Flomaster, just a once off deal
 ok i'll read it
[03:50] <profxavier> so just using mount should be fine, if that will work
[03:50] <rsouthard> cifs
[03:50] <danz_d_man> Yank_Down_Under, still no luck, no connection at 1500, connection but no internet at automatic.
  and thanks u
[03:50] <p1l0t> !mount | profxavier
[03:51] <profxavier> p1l0t, this is an unusual case
[03:51] <profxavier> i am familiar with the -mount- command
[03:51] <profxavier> and, also, the man pages
[03:51] <p1l0t> oh - what's the error?
[03:52] <Flomaster> profxavier: go to System>admin>disk utilities
[03:52] <abhi_nav> hello
[03:52] <p1l0t> !hi | abhi_nav
[03:53] <abhi_nav> :D
[03:54] <profxavier> Black|Dong, under VMWare though ?
[03:54] <rsouthard> ubottu: hello
[03:54] <rsouthard> trigger ubottu
[03:54] <Black|Dong> profxavier: I have no experience with VMWare sorry
[03:54] <profxavier> Black|Dong, np
[03:55] <p1l0t> !bot
[03:55] <electrofreak> profxavier: what are you asking about vmware?
[03:55] <profxavier> electrofreak: I am trying to connect a USB [IDE] drive to my Ubuntu running under VMware
[03:56] <electrofreak> what product and version of VMware are you using?
[03:57] <profxavier> workstation 7
[03:57] <electrofreak> profxavier: once you plug it into the physical box, you should see it listed under VM -> Removable Devices ->
[03:58] <electrofreak> you just select it to connect it.
[03:58] <profxavier> "A USB device is about to be unplugged from the host and connected to this virtual machine. It will first be stopped to enable safe removal. With some devices, the host may display the message "The device can now safely be removed.""
[03:58] <electrofreak> then do with it what you want in ubuntu (mount it, fdisk it, whatever...)
[03:58] <skumara> how to make oldconfig
[03:58] <profxavier> this appears, when I connect it, then attempt to add it under Removable Devices
[03:58] <profxavier> then I get an error
[03:59] <electrofreak> profxavier: right. what happens is it "disconnects" it from your windows host and connects it to a fake connection that routes it to the VM guest
[03:59] <profxavier> should I -not- remove it, from my Windows host ?
[03:59] <electrofreak> profxavier: right, don't disconnect it from the host.
[03:59] <electrofreak> that message that came up was just telling you to disregard the message that windows was giving you
[03:59] <porus> how much space is required for git clone of linux-image
[03:59] <profxavier> ok, mounted :D
[04:00] <profxavier> time to get clamav
[04:00] <sb750sux> any ideas about dmraid ? http://pastebin.org/397116
[04:00] <electrofreak> porus: could vary... I'd probably leave at least 1 GB
[04:00] <Bynw> quick question on ubuntu guest session for version 10.04 ... can you get to the guest session at login when the computer first boots up or when the current user session is locked at all? thanks
[04:01] <profxavier> thanks electrofreak
[04:01] <electrofreak> profxavier: no problem. let me know if you need any more help with vmware
[04:02] <porus> electrofreak, thanks, I thought of getting source of vyatta and it includes linux-image. 800+MB is downloaded for linux-image and it is still going :)
[04:02] <electrofreak> porus: yea, it can be pretty large. I don't know the exact size tho...
[04:03] <residentgrey> vmware > virtualbox? I tried the latter for a couple os's and they all failed to load
[04:04] <porus> I assumed whole vyatta source to be around 100MB, but it is big. and they do not give source tar file
[04:04] <electrofreak> residentgrey: I've been playing a lot with virtual box lately... I'm actually really liking it. Earlier versions were not quite up-to-par... but these days it's probably as good or better than VMWare
[04:04] <residentgrey> ok
[04:04] <residentgrey> any os's have any difficulty for you? i tried reactos and minix
[04:05] <electrofreak> residentgrey: in general, all the various virtualization products out there are starting to merge on some standards on how things are done...
[04:05] <porus> residentgrey, make sure you have latest os patches and use latest virtualbox
[04:05] <residentgrey> that's what I did, or at least the latest version available off synaptic
[04:05] <profxavier> i can do a directed scan of a mount using clamav, correct ?
[04:05] <residentgrey> im still runnning xubuntu 9.10
[04:06] <electrofreak> yea, the OSE doesn't have USB and some of the headless crap didn't work...
[04:06] <residentgrey> ok
[04:06] <electrofreak> so, I went with the other one... 'apt-get install virtualbox-3.2'
[04:07] <realubot> YankDownUnder: Well, I was thinking about the multiseat configuration that replaces the gdm by the less secure XDMCP.
[04:08] <realubot> YankDownUnder: I'm a litte bit worried that I conpromise the security using multiseat.
[04:09] <residentgrey> wow I couldn't use apt-get...weird
[04:09] <rozwell> does anyone have any tips on recovering files from an image of a disk with an ext4 partition and a bad partitions table?
[04:14] <bullgard4> rozwell: First fix your partition table. Only then turn to recovering files on your partitions.
[04:14] <rozwell> bullgard4: i've been unable to fix the partition table
[04:17] <ubuntu> hi
[04:17] <thune3> rozwell: is the beginning of the ext4 partition in the correct spot? do you get some error about partition size being smaller than ext4 filesystem when trying to mount?
[04:18] <maginot> hey fellows
[04:19] <Topy44> does anyone here know if there is any launcher/taskbar/panel/whatever except gnome-panel with the window picker applet that allows for a single-icon tabbed interface similar to the gnome-panek/window-picker-applet one?
[04:19] <Topy44> gnome-panel is getting on my nerves, but i cant seem to find ANY replacement
[04:19] <maginot> Topy44, like WindowMaker ?
[04:19] <rozwell> thune3: i get an error about the partition size being larger than the physical size
[04:20] <profxavier> can someone help me, I am attempting to use clamav, on a pulled drive [from a non-working XP system]
[04:20] <maginot> profxavier, you want to scan a window box ?
[04:20] <profxavier> i have ran clamscan, but does it also do removal, as well as detection?
[04:20] <profxavier> maginot, drive, not box
[04:21] <rsouthard> pofxavier: you'll need to mount the drive first, then scan it.
[04:21] <rsouthard> ubottu mount
[04:21] <profxavier> rsouthard, done and done
[04:21] <Topy44> maginot: no... its kinda hard to explain. what i want is one icon per window, with the rest of the free space used for the titlebar (window title and close button), and no window decorations for maximized programs (maximus does that nicely)
[04:21] <profxavier> but does it do removals as well ?
[04:21] <Topy44> imho, maximus and the window-picket-applet are an absolutely BRILLIANT combination
[04:21] <thune3> rozwell: did you write anything into the space after the resized ext4 partition?
[04:21] <profxavier> or repairs...
[04:21] <rsouthard> can you see the drive with df-h?
[04:21] <maginot> Topy44, just make it smaller and select the group option
[04:22] <profxavier> rsouthard, yes
[04:22] <profxavier> ofcourse
[04:22] <profxavier> i wouldn't be scanning it currently
[04:22] <profxavier> if it wasn't there...
[04:22] <rozwell> thune3: i'm not sure what you mean, but i'm not sure of the sequence of events that led to its being in this state
[04:22] <Topy44> maginot: window maker doesnt allow for a panel as such at all afaik, and no titlebar replacement thingy
[04:23] <maginot> profxavier, see this is of any help http://maketecheasier.com/remove-windows-viruses-with-linux/2010/02/02
[04:23] <rozwell> thune3: but i do know that every tool i've tried to run on it to try and rebuild the partitions table has failed miserably
[04:23] <profxavier> rozwell, site is down
[04:23] <lor> do you have any fonts by default in .fonts ?
[04:23] <lor> I think I deleted that folder :(
[04:24] <maginot> Topy44, I don't understand you... you want a panel, why not use a doc like avant-window-manager or cairo dock ?
[04:27]  * profxavier waits... patiently :D
[04:27] <Topy44> yeah its really hard to explain... look at this: http://tunginobi.spheredev.org/images/window_picker_applet_ss_01.png
[04:28] <Topy44> the icons on the top left, right of the seperator, are the open windows, beside it is the title of the currently active window with a close button, essentially serving as a titlebar
[04:29] <Topy44> another screenshot using it: http://i34.tinypic.com/24lsy38.jpg
[04:30] <maginot> Topslack, I like this http://lifehacker.com/359571/use-an-os-x+style-global-menu-in-ubuntu
[04:30] <Random832> Topy44: aren't you supposed to use that with Maximus?
[04:30] <maginot> and use a dock, so it works like mac os x, kind of what you have =P
[04:30] <residentgrey> what editor is that btw?
[04:30] <Topy44> Random832: i do (but you can still have non-maximized windows)
[04:31] <Random832> i thought non-maximized windows don't show up in it though
[04:32] <Topy44> (note that those are not my screenshots, they are randomly pulled off the web)
[04:33] <Topy44> Random832: it works nicely without maximus, you can even remove window decorations entirely, though you need to use a patch for the window picker applet to work correctly with non-maximized windows
[04:33] <Topy44> maginot: yes, what i want is SIMILAR to the mac concept, but instead of the menubar i have the titlebar in the panel
[04:34] <Topy44> so... icon, title and close button (and i can doubleclick it to maximize or just click the icon to minimize)
[04:34] <Topy44> let me make a screenshot of my netbook (which is where i use it, it saves a lot of screenspace on its tiny 800x480 screen)
[04:38] <Topy44> http://www.t44.org/Screenshot.png
[04:38] <Topy44> essentially, i want to duplicate exactly that, but with a more powerful panel, as gnome-panel is buggy and limited, and doesnt have some applets i'd like
[04:42] <theadmin> Allright, back to the problem... 2 broken packages (vlc and vlc-nox) can someone help?
[04:42] <residentgrey> isn't it one or the other for that?
[04:44] <rallias> is there a program that I can install to locally load an imap server?
[04:44] <Izinucs> rallias: is the imap server local or remote..
[04:45] <rallias> izimucs: the imap server i want to cache is googles.
[04:45] <abhi_nav> !tab | rallias
[04:45] <Izinucs> rallias: you using ubuntu or kubuntu? and which version? 10.04?
[04:45] <RobertSaganek_> hello all i need some help with my firefox
[04:46] <brotard> whats the problem robert
[04:46] <theadmin> RobertSaganek_: With what exactly?
[04:46] <rallias> Izimucs: I am using ubuntu, 10.04 with software sources of 10.10
[04:47] <theadmin> rallias: ...that's a generally bad idea
[04:47] <RobertSaganek_> my adobe flash keeps dying
[04:47] <theadmin> RobertSaganek_: Um, how exactly?
[04:47] <rallias> theadmin: i know but i feel i am enough of a geek that i thought it was necessary for me
[04:47] <rallias> and didn't have a spare cd
[04:47] <Izinucs> rallias: Evolution will connect via imap to google..
[04:47] <RobertSaganek_> adobe flash plug in... when i'm on any site and try to go full screen it dies
[04:48] <Izinucs> rallias: you can also load up thunderbird or kmail
[04:48] <theadmin> rallias: You could have ran "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" to get updated to Maverick from Lucid
[04:48] <rallias> Izimucs: I want to be able to load it on a local machine and load it through a local network and download stuff
[04:49] <rallias> theadmin: i tried to find that out, and now i suppose i probibilly know
[04:49] <Izinucs> rallias: you mean have one machine connect to the imap server and then use other machines in the LAN to pull the same data?
[04:49] <rallias> izinucs: yes
[04:49] <rallias> izinucs: i only have 10 gb of data transfer left
[04:50] <Izinucs> rallias: that's one of the beauties of imap.. you don't need a central location to pull data.. you can set each machine to connect to the same imap server without interfearing with each other.
[04:50] <Izinucs> rallias: ah..
[04:51] <rallias> izinucs: between porn and linux, i use up my 250 gb a month pretty easily
[04:51] <Izinucs> rallias: perhaps what you want is to actually pop the server instead of imap (with one machine) then get access to the same data from other machines...
[04:52] <rallias> izinucs: i know what i want to do i want as many of the necessary network services to be localnet as possible
[04:52] <AntonioX> Hola
[04:52] <Izinucs> rallias: ok.. sorry I don't have a solution for you.. maybe someone else will.
[04:52] <theadmin> AntonioX: English please. Espanol - #ubuntu-es
[04:53] <AntonioX> is this the place where I can get some help?
[04:53] <rallias> Izinucs: what is the standard imap server for ubuntu?
[04:53] <theadmin> AntonioX: If it's related with Ubuntu, then yes.
[04:53] <AntonioX> YES!!!
[04:53] <AntonioX> I am in the right place
[04:54] <AntonioX> Well, I have a little problem
[04:54] <Topy44> hm... turns out there ARE replacements for the window-picker-applet - unfortunately, they are also for the gnome panel :(
[04:54] <abhi_nav> !ask | AntonioX
[04:54] <theadmin> AntonioX: Please ask everything in one message - it gets messed up otherwise
[04:55] <rallias> does anyone know a good guide to the commands that are in the IMAP standard?
[04:55] <AntonioX> I have an USB CD/DVD Burner that when I conect to my machine Ubuntu detects it and everything looks fine
[04:55] <theadmin> AntonioX: Well and?
[04:55] <AntonioX> but When I insert a blank CD it disapears
[04:55] <theadmin> AntonioX: That's about right
[04:56] <AntonioX> Right?
[04:56] <AntonioX> how?
[04:56] <theadmin> AntonioX: Run "CD/DVD Burner" from Applications -> Sound and Video ("Multimedia" as translated in some languages, e.g. russian) and use that to burn the disc
[04:56] <AntonioX> I do not have it as an option in Brasero
[04:58] <AntonioX> Brasero only wants to do cd images
[04:58] <theadmin> AntonioX: Oh... Then this is actually weird
[04:59] <AntonioX> Yep Nero gives me Other Weird messages
[04:59] <theadmin> AntonioX: Normally it dissapears because it doesn't recognize the filesystem on the disc - for there is none - so it can't mount it... Nero? Isn't that for Windows?
[05:00] <AntonioX> yes  but there are 2 versions for linux
[05:00] <AntonioX> Nero 3 and 4 (lastest)
[05:01] <tumenjargal> connect #symfony
[05:01] <tonysan> which command can i test the tune in grub 2 play tune?
[05:02] <tumenjargal> #symfony
[05:02] <theadmin> Gah, sorry, I have a lame connection and it ping-time-outed me
[05:02] <kassah> someone familiar with udev... can you help me overriding a specific udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/70-printers.rules so that it doesn't pick up a certain usb id and do anything with it?
[05:03] <AntonioX> This is what I get when I use Nero 4 nero:3962): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_set_valist: construct property "type" for object `NeroSplashScreen' can't be set after construction
[05:03] <AntonioX> (nero:3962): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_label_set_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LABEL (label)' failed
[05:04] <Clinteger> Where can I get the human icon theme?
[05:04] <Clinteger> like whats the package name :p
[05:08] <realubot> Is it possible to use kdm to log in to Gnome session? I'm planning to set up a multiseat but the the new gdm doesn't seem to support multisessions but kdm does. The problem is that I don't want to use KDE as desktop environment. I qant the default Gnom desktop.
[05:08] <Clinteger> realubot, yeah there should be a dropdown menu somewhere on there
[05:08] <Clinteger> I originally installed kubuntu and then ubuntu-desktop for gnome, and I was able to get into gnome :)
[05:09] <rallias> whats the default password for user cyrus for the cyrus server?
[05:10] <theadmin> realubot: Yes, KDM can log in to GNOME, KDE and (with a bit of bugs) XFCE
[05:10] <hjst> I have a problem formatting a USB flash drive - when I plug the drive in it shows under "My Computer" (or whatever it's called in gnome), and I can see the device in Disk Utility but it shows as having no volumes. When I try to format the device (with any partition scheme) I get the same error message: "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdb: No medium found" - I've tried on a windows machine as well with no success
[05:10] <hjst>  - is the USB flash drive dead?
[05:10] <theadmin> (it displays the "Xfce4" menu option twice)
[05:11] <realubot> Clinteger: Ok, nice to know. Thanks.
[05:11] <isolat3dsh33p> testing
[05:12] <realubot> theadmin: Will there be any problem (due to bugs ir something) to use KDM as login window for Gnome?
[05:12] <Topy44> btw, any ideas why slim wont work on my netbook? i tried it on a vm and it works perfectly. but my netbook just hangs at "Starting X display manager: slim"
[05:12] <theadmin> realubot: Nope, worked before and it worked very well
[05:12] <realubot> theadmin: Will it somehow affect the "stability" of Gnome?
[05:12] <theadmin> realubot: Nah.
[05:13] <rallias> whats the command line command that changes a users password?
[05:13] <Topy44> realubot: afaik, you cant shut down the computer from gnome directly anymore, you have to log out and choose shutdown from kdm. at least it used to be that way.
[05:13] <hjst> rallias: passwd
[05:13] <theadmin> rallias: sudo passwd USERNAME
[05:13] <KB1JWQ> rallias: passwd
[05:13] <realubot> theadmin: Ok, this is very good news because I plan to use kdm to start multisession X on my multiseat configuration. It won't work using the new gdm, I think.
[05:13] <rallias> thanks
[05:13] <theadmin> Topy44: Huh. Well, it worked fine on Jaunty
[05:13] <Topy44> oh ok.. i havent used it that way in many years
[05:14] <theadmin> realubot: It wouldn't work with old GDM either... gdm never supported multisessions :/
[05:14] <realubot> theadmin: Ok, but if that is the only problem then I can learn to live with that.
[05:14] <Topy44> ah, indeed, it was implemented in 2007 :) i am somewhat out of date
[05:15] <Topy44> realubot: ignore what i said :)
[05:15] <realubot> theadmin: Ok, but I have found som patches for getting it to work using gdm 2.20.
[05:15] <Fudge> what does this mean, [drm:radeon_ib_schedule] *ERROR* radeon: couldn't schedule IB(14).
[05:15] <realubot> theadmin: Originally I planned to use XDMCP but there seem to be some security issues due to using that Display Manger.
[05:15] <Topy44> another problem: when booting my netbook, it hangs for a long time (about a minute) at "getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)"
[05:16] <Topy44> i have no idea what that means
[05:16] <realubot> Topy44: Ok, I will. :)
[05:16] <Topy44> and internet searches were... inconclusive.
[05:16] <theadmin> realubot: I'm unsure what is the GDM version Ubuntu uses actually, and applying patches means recompiling from source
[05:16] <thune3> kassah: i think you need to put a rule at the top of the file that matches your device, and have the action be to goto a label at the end of the file. Beginning something like: SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="041e", ATTR{idProduct}=="4130",GOTO="end_printer_config"  and then have line at the end: LABEL="end_printer_config"
[05:16] <theadmin> Topy44: It means that it can't get "pwuid_r" whatever that is for user "root"
[05:16] <AntonioX> I cannot Burn CD                                                                                      Brazero program I can Only do Image Files, the cdrom with a blan CD its not shown.
[05:16] <AntonioX> With Nero I get the following error
[05:16] <AntonioX> from command I type:
[05:16] <AntonioX> root@uSER-netbook:/home/USERNAME# sudo nero
[05:16] <AntonioX> (nero:3962): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_set_valist: construct property "type" for object `NeroSplashScreen' can't be set after construction
[05:16] <FloodBot2> AntonioX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:16] <AntonioX> (nero:3962): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_label_set_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LABEL (label)' failed
[05:17] <AntonioX> sorry
[05:17] <theadmin> AntonioX: And why on earth do you run nero as root? Don't do zat.
[05:17] <kassah> thune3, thanks... will give that a try... brb
[05:17] <realubot> theadmin: Ok, well, I will stick to kdm. That was what the multiseat tutorial suggested: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX
[05:18]  * Clinteger is removing all of kubuntu-desktop
[05:18] <realubot> What are the big difference between kdm and gdm really?
[05:18] <Topy44> http://duanguangjie.com/phpman/index.php/man/pwuid/0 <== aha! now i know... nothing. :)
[05:18] <theadmin> realubot: ...everything
[05:18] <realubot> theadmin: Ok, it looks almost the same to me. :)
[05:18] <AntonioX> Could you please explain...
[05:18] <Topy44> realubot: its really just that: gdm uses a basic gnome for the login screen, kdm a basic kde
[05:18] <nicxvan> how do I set key bindings for alternate buttons on my mouse?
[05:18] <realubot> I mean, you can choose user and login to your account. :S
[05:18] <AntonioX> ZAP? Root (admin)?
[05:19] <AntonioX> what is ZAP?
[05:19] <theadmin> Topy44: Okay... I guess it's claiming it can't find the password entry for root... Run this: "sudo usermod -p '!' root"
[05:19] <AntonioX> Sorry I am new with Ubuntu
[05:19] <nicxvan> nevermind i think i found it
[05:19] <Topy44> theadmin: indeed i didnt set a root pw
[05:19] <airtonix> is it possible to have "Thunderbird Shredder" access a "Standard Unix mbox spool" mail account such as the one each user has in their home folder ?
[05:20] <theadmin> AntonioX: Zapping is killing X and restarting it. Can be done by hitting Alt+PrtSc+K or (in some desktops) Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[05:20] <realubot> Well, thanks guys (and girls). This is exciting. I hope that I get this multisession working.
[05:21] <realubot> By the way, why isn't Gnome having the multisession option? Is there any special reason to avoid it or hasn't the gdm been developed that much yet?
[05:22] <theadmin> AntonioX: root user is the superuser, the admin, whatever - it's allowed to do everything. However under no circumstances should you log in as root directly, use "sudo COMMAND" to run commands as admin (Or "gksu COMMAND" to run graphical applications as admin)
[05:22] <Topy44> theadmin: interesting... i still get the error, but it no longer hangs - in fact, it just accelerated boot time by about 60 seconds, which is amazing :)
[05:22] <AntonioX> Ok let me see it I get it, I do ZAP, and I do not run Nero as a root....  Right?
[05:22] <Topy44> (though i just installed a different kernel, MIGHT be related to that too)
[05:22] <theadmin> Topy44: Weird.
[05:22] <SuspectZero> hey quick question, im using testdisk and i was wondering if there is a way to figure out the size of a folder that im trying to recover?
[05:22] <realubot> Do I have to removw gdm before I install kdm to get my system use kdm instead of gdm?
[05:22] <realubot> *purge gdm
[05:22] <Topy44> my 600mhz netbook now boots in about 20 seconds :)
[05:23] <s_andy> hi, im getting an error when i try to log into  any non root sesion on my xubuntu box, it says i have some problem with the power manager and that i should contact my system admin. What should  I do?
[05:23] <Topy44> uh wait... a "fatal error" blinks for a moment during boot.
[05:23] <Topy44> let me try to hit pause
[05:24] <VanessaE> I'm sure this question has been answered more than once, but my Google-fu has failed me tonight... Is there a straightforward way to get one machine to connect to another (both running Lucid) such that the first plays over its speakers that which the second is also playing?  like an audio repeater?
[05:24] <theadmin> realubot: Once KDM is installed, the system shall ask you which one do you want to use
[05:24] <kudu> hello
[05:24] <quintanar> Hola
[05:24] <quintanar> alguien de México? :)
[05:25] <theadmin> !es | quintanar
[05:25] <realubot> theadmin: Ok, thanks.
[05:25] <AntonioX> Ok I get it, I just did what I found in one of the Forums,  Sorry!!
[05:26] <theadmin> realubot: However if you don't need gdm you'll probably be better off removing it, will free up some disc space
[05:26] <Alazair> if im switching from gnome to kde "ubuntu" actually mint but if im switching would the terminal command be to remove gnome sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop
[05:26] <theadmin> realubot: But make sure you'll install kdm first
[05:26] <VanessaE> (something that lets me listen to the music without my husband having to crank up the volume, bascially)
[05:26] <theadmin> !purekde | Alazair
[05:27] <Clinteger> omg wtf
[05:28] <theadmin> Clinteger: Huh?
[05:28] <Clinteger> Um
[05:28] <Clinteger> I have a problem with my cursor themes
[05:28] <Clinteger> I installed kubuntu and then ubuntu-desktop [just removed all of the kubuntu packages] but my cursors are still weird
[05:28] <theadmin> Bleh, I hate it how gnome keeps having "cdrom0" under places when there is actually no such device anymore, since I disconnected it
[05:28] <Clinteger> before I'd have to set the same theme in the gnome appearance preferences and kde's system settings
[05:28] <Clinteger> but now there's no kde settings to change it in
[05:29] <VanessaE> did anyone see my question?  (from my end, it looks like it may have gotten buried)
[05:29] <s_andy> hi, im getting an error when i try to log into  any non root sesion on my xubuntu box, it says i have some problem with the power manager and that i should contact my system admin. What should  I do?
[05:29] <Clinteger> !puregnome
[05:29] <Frank__> hello
[05:29] <Clinteger> o.O
[05:29] <Frank__> hello
[05:29] <violinappren> VanessaE: just repeat it
[05:30] <VanessaE> Oh ok.
[05:30] <theadmin> !removekde | Clinteger
[05:30] <Clinteger> theadmin, but I also installed xubuntu-desktop too before gnome XD
[05:30] <theadmin> wtf... this used to give a command to remove kde
[05:30] <sb750sux> VanessaE, thers pulse audio
[05:30] <VanessaE> I'm sure this question has been answered more than once, but my Google-fu has failed me tonight... Is there a straightforward way to get one machine to connect to another (both running Lucid) such that the first plays over its speakers that which the second is also playing?  like the audio equivalent of a repeater?
[05:30] <nicxvan> how do i give myself permission to save a file, I edited imwheelrc to map some buttons in firefox, but I don't have permission to save
[05:31] <maco> nicxvan: are you trying to save a file outside of your home directory?
[05:31] <theadmin> nicxvan: Either be root or chmod/chown the file so that you're allowed to access it
[05:31] <nicxvan> yes it's in the etc
[05:31] <theadmin> nicxvan: You'd need to be root then
[05:31] <maco> nicxvan: you'll need to make the edits as root, if so.  to do that, run "sudo" before the editor command you use, or use "gksudo" if you use a graphical text editor
[05:32] <nicxvan> theadmin i don't know what that means this is my first day using non windows
[05:32] <theadmin> nicxvan: Run either "gksu gedit /etc/yourfile" or "sudo $EDITOR /etc/yourfile"
[05:32] <maco> nicxvan: so gksudo gedit /etc/... or sudo nano /etc/....
[05:32] <VanessaE> nicxvan, save the file somewhere else like in your home directory, then 'sudo mv' it.
[05:32] <nicxvan> ok
[05:32] <nicxvan> thanks
[05:32] <nicxvan> i'll try
[05:32] <tranchinh> tranchinh
[05:32] <violinappren> VanessaE: check music player daemon or the remote functionality of pulseaudio in client.conf
[05:32] <VanessaE> (sorry, force of habit to assume you're at a terminal or console)
[05:32] <its-me-again> hi i am looking for how to uturn off auto config in grub 2
[05:33] <VanessaE> violinappren, I don't understand any of this pulseaudio stuff at all
[05:33] <AAA> nicxvan  as long as it aska for a pw you should be good to edit in any editor
[05:33]  * VanessaE looks
[05:33] <theadmin> nicxvan: a good and simple CLI editor is nano for instance. So here's an example command I would use "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list"
[05:33] <nicxvan> it didn't ask for pw
[05:33] <nicxvan> ok
[05:33] <nicxvan> let me attempt this
[05:33] <VanessaE> (everything I found that mentioned pulse looked so complicated as to suggest too much risk of breaking one system or the other)
[05:34] <violinappren> VanessaE:  mpd is easier to setup
[05:34] <theadmin> Gotta learn to use vim someday -_-
[05:34] <theadmin> [/offtopic]
[05:34] <VanessaE> theadmin, nano ftw :)
[05:35] <MokoN00b> wow, 10.04 doesnt even include pidgin-otr in the repos?
[05:35] <MokoN00b> what is the deal with that?
[05:35] <nicxvan> I got it thanks
[05:35] <theadmin> MokoN00b: The "OTR Messaging" plugin is now a part of "pidgin-plugin-pack" package
[05:35] <MokoN00b> let me check that
[05:36] <nicxvan> well my edit didn't work, but i was able to save the file, now i jsut have to figure out how to make it accept the extra buttons on my mouse
[05:36] <VanessaE> hm, mpd is out.  This has to be transparent to the PC that's playing the music (and no, I'm not trying to snoop :-)  )
[05:36] <MokoN00b> that would be nice if that package existed
[05:36] <VanessaE> how does one do this via pulse?  does it work like a shoutcast stream?
[05:37] <theadmin> Hm, me's wondering how to make X transparent :D would be like in movies bout hackers, console under desktop etc
[05:37] <Topy44> okay... the error message says: "FATAL: Error inserting ramzswap (/lib/modules/2.6.34-60-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/ramzswap/ramzswap.ko): Unkown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)"
[05:37] <violinappren> VanessaE:  I use pulseaudio for this and it's rather simple. You use paprefs to enable networking functionality in the machine with speakers, copy ~/.pulse-cookie from the remote machine to the local one, edit client.conf in the local machine and set the server-name to the remote machine
[05:37] <MokoN00b> there are several pidgin packages, but "pidgin-plugin-pack" is not one of them
[05:37] <Topy44> okay... the error message says: "FATAL: Error inserting ramzswap (/lib/modules/2.6.34-60-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/ramzswap/ramzswap.ko): Unkown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)"
[05:37] <theadmin> Topy44: That seems like a kernel bug... Run "ubuntu-bug whatever-kernel-package-you-are-using" to report
[05:37] <elric> hey,can anyone help me with gnomenu?
[05:38] <abhi_nav> !ask | elric
[05:38] <theadmin> MokoN00b: It's here for me... Hm... Maybe it's in Pidgin PPA.
[05:38] <MokoN00b> is there a way to get those ugly black and white systray icons to be replaced by the former color ones?
[05:38] <nicxvan> theadmin now that i'm done how do I exit root powers, just by closing the editor?
[05:38] <theadmin> nicxvan: Yeah lol
[05:39] <MokoN00b> well, the pidgin-plugin-pack is not in the ubuntu repos
[05:39] <nicxvan> i didn't know if there was a way to continue viewing the file w/o being able to edit it
[05:39] <theadmin> nicxvan: I usually explain sudo as something like UAC to Windows users... they understand it better this way
[05:39] <MokoN00b> im running off of the install disk
[05:39] <elric> well,when its not running in awn,so when i try to run GnoMenu.py run-in-window
[05:39] <Topy44> MokoN00b: if you find an answer... i was wondering about that too :)
[05:39] <elric> it gives an a long traceback
[05:39] <violinappren> violinappren: by "remote machine" i mean the one with speakers (that will act as a server.) if you're running a firewall on the remote machine, it has to allow conntections on port tcp/4713
[05:39] <Topy44> though my current desktop is rather monochrome
[05:39] <nicxvan> thanks
[05:39] <violinappren> VanessaE: ^
[05:40] <nicxvan> this is kinda fun
[05:40] <theadmin> btw (i know the dangers) would this be a correct line for sudoers file? "%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD ALL" (not sure where do i stick the "NOPASSWD" bit)
[05:40] <MokoN00b> okay
[05:40] <VanessaE> violinappren, ok, and when this is done I basically have two machines playing the same audio?
[05:40] <MokoN00b> they removed the keyboard switcher applet
[05:41] <VanessaE> (just making sure I understand what I'm about to do)
[05:41] <MokoN00b> i expected that
[05:41] <MokoN00b> because ibus is supposed to supercede that
[05:41] <theadmin> MokoN00b: It appears in the notification area now when you have multiple layouts
[05:41] <realubot> theadmin: Ok, but I have 500GB of disc space, will gdm really need several GB?
[05:41] <violinappren> VanessaE: you'll have the local machine (say a laptop) forwarding all it's audio to the remote machine (with intended speakers) merged with its own audio
[05:41] <MokoN00b> but it doesnt seem to have alternate layouts for, say, spanish
[05:41] <MokoN00b> i was expecting that
[05:42] <theadmin> realubot: I dunno how much does it take. Hey, you can't have too much disk space, unless you're Google
[05:42] <VanessaE> violinappren, ah..  that's not what I wanted to do. :)
[05:42] <MokoN00b> but it only has languages that require special IMs
[05:42] <VanessaE> instead, here's the idea:
[05:42] <realubot> theadmin: Well... I'm... google.
[05:42] <realubot> theadmin: NOT.
[05:42] <its-me-again> hi i am looking for how to turn off auto config in grub 2
[05:42] <theadmin> realubot: :D
[05:42] <xfact> Hello folks
[05:43] <its-me-again> so i can edit the grub entries
[05:43] <xfact> Would you please tell me where I can have the installation folder of Google Chrome :)
[05:43] <realubot> theadmin: Well, the most important thing is that this setup will work using kdm as dm to my multiseat configuration.
[05:43] <abhi_nav> !grub2 | its-me-again
[05:43] <VanessaE> I have one user in the other room sitting at his PC playing music the usual way.  I'm in the front room on my laptop (as it so happens), and I want said laptop to connect to his PC and "tap into" that audio he's listening to so I can hear it in my laptop's (puny) speakers.
[05:43] <MokoN00b> so, if it is supposed to replace the functionality of the keymap switching applet, where are the options for other key mappings?
[05:44] <VanessaE> but only on demand, e.g. if I point my music player at some URL or another
[05:44] <MokoN00b> and  for chinese, where is support for the chewing input method?
[05:44] <theadmin> Hrm... now that the system is configured to use Google's DNS servers, it goes a lot faster with torrents. Interesting
[05:44] <abhi_nav> !ibus | MokoN00b
[05:44] <MokoN00b> yeah, well, i just expected ibus to support all of the scim modules
[05:45] <MokoN00b> why shouldnt it?
[05:45] <violinappren> VanessaE: i think this can be achieved using a combination of pacat/parecord and ssh tunneling
[05:45] <realubot> theadmin: If you have time to, do you think this tutorial will work having a HDMI -> TV  and a DVI -> computer display connected using mobo integrated graphics? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX
[05:45] <MokoN00b> its just a more generic version of SCIM that is supposed to include keyboard mapping switching as well
[05:45] <VanessaE> ahhh
[05:45] <theadmin> realubot: Uh... No idea on how to do that, sorry
[05:46] <theadmin> realubot: I'm pretty noob myself, just 2 years or so
[05:46] <MokoN00b> it was, according to the ibus page, supposed to simplify things
[05:46] <realubot> theadmin: Ok, ok, I'll have to try it out myself then,
[05:46] <realubot> Thanks anyway.
[05:46] <MokoN00b> not make me go looking somewhere else for things
[05:47] <xfact> Where is the installation directory of Chrome can be found?
[05:47] <airtonix> xfact, locate chromium
[05:47] <abhi_nav> MokoN00b, whats your issue?
[05:47] <theadmin> xfact: Linux apps don't install to a single directory you know :D
[05:47] <theadmin> airtonix: Chrome != Chromium
[05:47] <MokoN00b> well, there is an ibus-chewing package
[05:48] <MokoN00b> i should have checked that first
[05:48] <abhi_nav> !enter | MokoN00b
[05:48] <MokoN00b> sorry

[05:59] <violinappren> radomirus: ubottu is a bot not a human. Use english only in this channel.

[05:59] <abhi_nav> its-me-again, you want that link again?
[06:00] <its-me-again> abhi_nav: what i want to do is to turn off the auto detect feature of grub 2 so i cn edit grub.config
[06:00] <its-me-again> manually

[06:01] <bouma> hello ive heard that its possible to set up, eg, mplayer to run at nice -20, when i right click on it .. how?? i once tried changing sudo off suid and then couldnt change it back without a boot cd w/ubuntu
[06:01] <abhi_nav> its-me-again, i dont get it? if you want to edit grub then you can still do that ? I dont get its relatino to auto detect? just go to admin and edit?

[06:03] <xfact> Almost most people here running Ubuntu :)
[06:03] <bouma> so i understand some of the nice lvls and 7455 etc, binary addition of single bit fields into octal, but how do run a right-click mplayer niced, i think it will help mplayer from occasionally start skipping when there is no input, this could ultimately be a kernel issue, but i'm not just yet going to compile my own kernel. although who thinks that is agood idea?
[06:03] <alexander_> That's pretty goofy that I have to use a program for turning the pad off instead of native prefs.... cest la vi

[06:05] <AntonioX> So many people irritated in Here
[06:05] <bouma> i suppose nobody knows if i should be using gksudo or something to let mplayer be niced on right click from nautilus
[06:05] <xfact> AntonioX: Well, when you are entering the audio cd then a pop us should appear with Rthythmbox enlisted for playing the disk
[06:06] <roky> AntonioX: People here are volunteers, you get pushy, no one answers.
[06:06] <Clinteger> bah. this mouse cursor bug is just so weird
[06:06] <alexander_> what's the offtopic channel? ;)
[06:06] <bouma> one thing that makes me hesitate with my own idea is that gksudo is part of kde right, surely such a basic task should be a solid part of gnome, like the 'visual sudo thing in windows/vista/7'
[06:06] <xfact> #ubuntu-offtopic alexander_
[06:06] <Clinteger> everything is correct except the regular pointer

[06:25] <BryanWB_> hey guys, anybody know an ubuntu client that I can use to access a windows machine by remote desktop?
[06:25] <ultraz> After upgrading to 10.04, when booting I have not splash/boot screen, and very often it gets frozen when. It just say "Starting up....." for some time and then goes directly to login window (unless it freezes trying to start X). Any ides ?
[06:26] <roky> BryanWB_: rdesktop
[06:26] <vbox> @bryan: rdesktop
[06:26] <BryanWB_> roky, vbox  tks, can i only login remotely or can I actually monitor someone else's user session?
[06:26] <BryanWB_> i want to help my mother-in-law w/ her many computer problems
[06:26] <vbox> @Bryan: the software center should have GUIs for rdesktop
[06:27] <BryanWB_> vbox, tks
[06:27] <vbox> np
[06:27] <putaas> at gdm, only root is able to login, normal users can't, they get back to gdm... sometime when i reboot i get a little cnace to login wiht a norma user but with the session without a panel or something like that. , but anohter reboot and the back to the same problem.
[06:27] <ultraz> BryanWB_: teamviewer is great.
[06:27] <putaas> please hel
[06:27] <putaas> p
[06:27] <roky> BryanWB_: You could technically monitor it. If you want too, I recommend teamviewer
[06:27] <EvilTrek> where are sshd configs stored?
[06:27] <BryanWB_> roky, tks
[06:27] <vbox> teamview is nice for troubleshooting help
[06:28] <jhaluska> Guys I'm a bit sleep deprived, but I upgraded my brother's ubuntu box's motherboard.  The network isn't working.  ANybody got a how to or something how to fix it?  I think he's running 9.04.
[06:28] <bouma> antonio2: hmm Antonix left? darn, i had a solution i tihnk for his prob, mount cd as wav files using cdfs or cdemu
[06:28] <ultraz> EvilTrek: /etc/ssh
[06:28] <bouma> Does anyone have any suggestions re sudo mplayer on rightclick in nautilus ??
[06:28] <ultraz> jhaluska: can you pastebin lspci -k
[06:28] <_genuser_> bouma: trying to get nautilus to remember to play using mplayer?
[06:29] <jhaluska> ultraz, unlikely since I'm on a seperate computer and I can't get online with the other one, but let me go run it.
[06:29] <wage> Can someone please tell me the path to the ubuntu one client, my icon is missing?
[06:29] <bouma> _genuser_: i can do that, its doing it niced to -20
[06:29] <violinappren> bouma: you can make a shell script in ~/bin that launches mplayer and renices it
[06:29] <ultraz> jhaluska: doble check if kernel module/driver is loaded for your network card.
[06:29] <bouma> violinappren: what flags would i put on the script ? 7455 ?
[06:30] <violinappren> bouma: flags ? do you mean permissions? just chmod +x it
[06:30] <_genuser_> bouma: wait you can force nautilus to launch a media player that's not totem?
[06:30] <abhi_nav> wage, you may get better help in #ubuntuone
[06:30] <bouma> violinappren: and what do i used to transfer the argument external to the script (the fn) into the 1st arg of mplayer inside the script (sorry dont know much bash)
[06:30] <wage> abhi_nav:  thanks
[06:31] <vbox> join #ubuntuone
[06:31] <abhi_nav> wage, :)
[06:31] <ultraz> _genuser_: mine is set to launch mplayer when opening media/video files.
[06:31] <abhi_nav> vbox, type /j #ubuntuone
[06:31] <_genuser_> ultraz: and how did you actually accomplish that?
[06:31] <bouma> violinappren: but when the sudo requires me to type the password it wont receive the pw and will hang/timeout
[06:31] <bouma> violinappren: silent timeout
[06:31] <violinappren> bouma: then use gksu
[06:31] <jhaluska> ultraz: It mentions the nvidia MCP61 ethernet and seems to load forcedeth
[06:32] <ultraz> _genuser_: right click on video file, and go to open with tab.
[06:32] <ultraz> _genuser_: put there which app you want to open those type of files.
[06:32] <bouma> violinappren: hrm, ok. i accept this is more secure, but can i do it in a reasonably secure but automatic way that doesnt require the root pw every right click on a movie ??
[06:32] <bouma> violinappren: likea suid script that cant be edited by userac?
[06:33] <_genuser_> bouma: in the script $1 refers to the first argument passed to script. You can pass that to mplayer.
[06:33] <bouma> violinappren: well i guess i'll google suid scripts then. thanks
[06:33] <ultraz> jhaluska: what is forcedeth?
[06:33] <bouma> _genuser_: cheers
[06:33] <Blue1> ultraz: die now dammit i mean it kill -9
[06:33] <_genuser_> ultraz: that never works on any of hte gnome installation I have used. Right click video file, select mplayer or say use custom command, check box so it will remember it. and next double click file, it launches with totem again.
[06:34] <jhaluska> ultraz: It mentions it under that ethernet line about kernel module and driveer.
[06:34] <jhaluska> I'm really wishing the other computer was closer. lol
[06:34] <violinappren> bouma: i don't think suid can help you since it will run everything as root, including mplayer
[06:34] <|jonathan|> help me
[06:34] <_genuser_> jhaluska: if you have wifi adapter usb one, just plug it in, then ssh to it.
[06:34] <ultraz> _genuser_: I have successfuly used that method to launch vlc for long time, and in the past few months with mplayer.
[06:35] <jhaluska> _genuser_: I might have one floating around, let me check.
[06:35] <_genuser_> ultraz: that's weird. I have never gotten it to work. I have ended up doing ln -sf to link mplayer under totem name to fool it
[06:35] <bouma> violinappren: hrm, thats a shame, but .. darn. have there ever been bufferoverruns exploited in mplayer w/root
[06:35] <violinappren> bouma: you could use pkexec instead of gksu and thus the password will be cached for a while
[06:35] <zus> might i get some  help in here? the wine people are just not answering ! i tottaly dont get why wine  is not working for me.
[06:35] <fulldarkness> qustion: http://pastebin.com/CSBznJ7j
[06:35] <Loshki> |jonathan|: ask a question...
[06:35] <ultraz> _genuser_: odd indeed.
[06:35] <_genuser_> ultraz: oh well. at least it works with the hack.
[06:36] <BryanWB_> sorry to ask a dumb win question but which is the least insecure version of windows? i have only used fedora and ubuntu for last 5 yrs so i have no idea
[06:36] <jhaluska> I have a random PCI ethernet card I can try putting in from another computer, should I try that first?
[06:36] <bouma> violinappren: in policykit-1
[06:36] <ultraz> _genuser_: yeah that will do it.
[06:36] <VanessaE> maybe write a script that you run as root to launch mplayer as a normal user with su, pause a second, then renice it as root
[06:36] <BryanWB_> i need the least hassle for my mother-in-laws machine
[06:36] <_genuser_> BryanWB_: win7.
[06:36] <jhaluska> brb
[06:36] <ultraz> jhaluska: you could do that. It wont hurt.
[06:36] <horkhorkhork> ?
[06:36] <|jonathan|> Loshki dude i wanna use a usb edge modem with wvdial and i configured but when i type wvdial in terminal it says Modem is not responding.. that mean i cannot connect to internet
[06:37] <BryanWB_> _genuser_, tks,  if i lived in the same town i would install ubuntu but i live far far away
[06:37] <_genuser_> BryanWB_: xp is pretty cool also. keep in mind to follow same security rules as linux. create user with user only permission for daily use
[06:37] <BryanWB_> _genuser_, yeah, i will definitely lock down her user acct
[06:37] <bouma> VanessaE: VanessaE, does the pause have to transfer out of the 1st script so as not to be running as root, and so run nice aswell as mplayer as root?
[06:37] <roky> BryanWB_: If you do a bit of configuring so everything is working, ex: flash, java...etc. Ubuntu would be just as good of a choice. As long as they don't have admin rights to mess with the FS.
[06:37] <rollman> i will soon have an e-book reader and was wondering if there is software compatible with ubuntu i don't have the reader yet it's on order?
[06:38] <Loshki> |jonathan|: I dunno much about usb modems. Does wvdial have a verbose mode where you can see it issue comnands to the modem?
[06:38] <_genuser_> teach them the sudo equivalent for when installing stuff. Right-click, run as admin and then create them a separate user with admin priv. XP will be better in that. Vista has issues where exes can install themselves in user's appdata folder on c:\ drive and run.
[06:38] <VanessaE> bouma, I was thinking you could try to put it all in one script, use su within to drop root privileges just long enough to launch mplayer
[06:38] <|jonathan|> Loshki what is verbose mode?
[06:38] <YankDownUnder> wvdial, when run from a term, will show what's being sent to the modem
[06:38] <VanessaE> been a while since I did that
[06:38] <BryanWB_> _genuser_, but she is 68 and _struggling_ to learn XP
[06:38] <ultraz> USB modems are pain in the ars.
[06:39] <_genuser_> BryanWB_: perfect time to just teach her another thing. It can be hard for the generation that didn't start off with technology
[06:39] <BryanWB_> _genuser_, tks for your help, I am off
[06:39] <brijithmac> Hi All, Can I use my old home directory as Home directory When I install a fresh installation ??
[06:39] <_genuser_> BryanWB_: have fun.
[06:40] <Loshki> |jonathan|: never mind. Do you know for a fact the modem is supported?
[06:40] <|jonathan|> Loshki i dont know wheter it is supported or not
[06:40] <|jonathan|> becoz the modem is not responding
[06:41] <VanessaE> bouma, so the script might contain something to the effect of:  #!/bin/bash ; su username -c mplayer & pid=$!; sleep 1; renice 19 $pid
[06:41] <VanessaE> and you'd run that as root (or use gksu[do])
[06:41] <jhaluska> The PCI network card fixed the internet for now (so at least now he won't kill me)
[06:41] <YankDownUnder> what kinda modem is the USB modem - is it a 3g modem?
[06:41] <Slix`> When I boot Ubuntu from my USB drive, it doesn't work. It either stays at the loading screen for an extremely long time or goes to some weird console screen and doesn't let me input anything.
[06:41] <Slix`> I verified all md5sums.
[06:41] <Slix`> Even the files on the usb.
[06:41] <jhaluska> I'll fix the other integrated card when I'm not exhausted.
[06:41] <jhaluska> Just need to fix sound real quick I hope.
[06:41] <VanessaE> of course with my luck, that won't work. :)
[06:42] <Loshki> |jonathan|: do you know the model number of the modem. Maybe we can google it?
[06:42] <|jonathan|> Loshki yeah i do
[06:42] <Loshki> |jonathan|: tell us...
[06:42] <rollman> according to what i read the e-book reader uses Montavista OS and says it's not compatible with linux and i have to find 3rd party software
[06:42] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Is this a USB 3g modem?
[06:42] <VanessaE> do bear in mind that if you set mplayer's priority too high it could easily overshadow X and everything else enough to lock you out if it crashes or hangs
[06:42] <vikas> hi
[06:42] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder no usb edge modem
[06:43] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, If you have a term open, and you run "wvdialconf" => does it find or configure the modem?

[06:45] <its-me-again> is there a simple way to edit grub 2. the default setup that is generates is rong and i cant edit grub.cfg according to what i read. i just need some basic pointers in the right direction
[06:46] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Remove the modem, delete the /etc/wvdial.conf that was created => check the /etc/modules.d/blacklist.conf to see if the module for that USB modem is being "blacklisted" -> you can also plug it in, then wait a tick, click System => Administration => Hardware Drivers => see if that picks up the modem/driver/module...
[06:46] <its-me-again> brijithmac: yes bt you need to first rename teh /home folder
[06:46] <xochantz> I need help in math !
[06:46] <Spyzer> anyone
[06:47] <Spyzer> first i did a guest access
[06:47] <Blue1> i am having a problem with anonymous ftp server -- (vsftp) everyone OUTSIDE the lan can access it fine, but if a LAN ip accesses it, it asks for userid/pass, and it doesn't work.  What should I check/set?
[06:47] <Spyzer> and without it i am trying to enter my username and password of login
[06:47] <Spyzer> but to no avail
[06:47] <zus> i noticed with x chat i have like 8 tabs open when im on the left 4 the ticks of the tabs are low and as i click though tabs left to right they get louder,....

[06:48] <Spyzer> but what to do with it
[06:48] <Loshki> |jonathan|: I don't see any decent hits when searching for 'ubuntu vodafone MD950 II usb card'. That's a bad sign...
[06:48] <greezmunkey> Spyzer: are you trying to access the ntfs partition on your ubuntu box from a winbox?
[06:48] <|jonathan|> Loshki yeah
[06:48] <its-me-again> brijithmac: you can but i would not
[06:49] <nitstorm> anybody got any good ideas for podcasting sites? want something free and something where i can podcast once every week
[06:49] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Is that the actual model of the modem? You sure it's not like a Huwei or similar?
[06:49] <its-me-again> is there a simple way to edit grub 2. the default setup that is generates is rong and i cant edit grub.cfg according to what i read
[06:49] <Spyzer> greezmunkey: yes
[06:49] <Ex-Opesa> nitstorm: jusintv.com?
[06:49] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder yah its the actual modem
[06:49] <Spyzer> greezmunkey: may u help me in that
[06:50] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder my problem is my modem is not responding ..what might be the reason for this...
[06:50] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Found one...from 2007...
[06:50] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder my modem is working in xp now im chatting with u
[06:50] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder show me
[06:50] <rollman> xochantz: have tried galculator it's scientic probably not the kind of math answer you were looking for i tried :(
[06:50] <Loshki> nitstorm: I see hits in google for 'free podcast sites'. I've never used one though, sorry...

[06:51] <greezmunkey> Spyzer: are you running samba server? If so, you can run sudo smbpasswd to add a new samba user to your system. There are other things you can do in smb.conf, but try smbpasswd for now.
[06:51] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder my modem is a usb modem and its a plug and play device
[06:51] <Spyzer> greezmunkey: Could not connect to machine 127.0.0.1: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[06:52] <Blue1> |jonathan|: in windows it's called:  prug and pray
[06:52] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Yes. This is understood. Ahem. Meanwhile, did you download/install usb-modeswitch and run that yet?
[06:52] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder no whats that
[06:52] <|jonathan|> Blue1 ohh i see :D
[06:52] <|jonathan|> Blue1 this ubuntu making me praying all the time
[06:52] <|jonathan|> :D
[06:53] <Blue1> |jonathan|: unfortunately I have no experience with usb modems - sorry
[06:53] <radIT> hi all
[06:53] <greezmunkey> Spyzer: why are you trying to access 127.0.0.1 ?
[06:53] <Loshki> its-me-again: you can edit it, but the changes will get overwritten whenever there is a kernel change. If you can put up with that inconvenience, it's fine to edit grub.cfg. As for simple ways to edit grub 2 config, not really, it can vary from a simple edit to needing to be really good at bash scripting to figure out...
[06:53] <Spyzer> no no i got it
[06:53] <Spyzer> now
[06:53] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Install usb-modeswitch. Firstly. After that is installed, try using lsusb to make sure the modem is showing up. After that, re-try using wvdialconf to generate a dialing configuration for this modem.
[06:53] <|jonathan|> Blue1 i know.. thats why im having the problem lol
[06:54] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder how can i install usb-modeswithch .. i dont hav internet in ubuntu u know
[06:54] <Blue1> |jonathan|: some times you wonder if the S in usb really means screwed
[06:54] <radIT> how to remove proxy in synaptic packet manager
[06:55] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Download it on the machine that you're on. Transfer it then to the machine you want to run it on. Easy.
[06:55] <|jonathan|> Blue1 yah but only for Ubuntu its sexy for windows :P
[06:55] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder allright gimme the link where can i download it from and tell me how to install it

[06:58] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder which one should i download .gz

[06:59] <Spyzer> see first i added the username abhishek and i tried to login, everything went on f9
[06:59] <Spyzer> just now i deleted abhishek

[07:02] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Is there no other means by which to connect the machine that you're using the USB modem with to the net?
[07:02] <violinappren> vikas: do you mean software sources?
[07:03] <violinappren> !patience | vikes
[07:03] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Well, then you'll be downloading the i386 version matey
[07:03] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder no other way :(
[07:03] <radIT> Blue1:how to remove the proxy that was in synaptic packet manager
[07:03] <Blue1> radIT: I wasn't aware there was a proxy let me look
[07:04] <vikas> uhen i update fallowing error comes Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429)/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
[07:04] <vikas> violinappren,
[07:04] <|jonathan|> hey YankDownUnder when i use lusb in my terminal something shows me that philips but my modem is vodafone
[07:04] <violinappren> vikas: open "software sources" and deselect the cdrom
[07:04] <Blue1> radIT: sorry I don't see a proxy in synaptic - are you trying to remove one that you installed?
[07:05] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Vodafone does not make modems - they're a telco mate. They BUY them from the makers...like Philips and Huwei and the likes...
[07:05] <Loshki> vikas: or edit /etc/apt/sources.list by hand and comment out any line that mentions cdrom...
[07:05] <KruyKaze> hi my usb speaker stopped working all of a sudden, can someone help?
[07:05] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder so my modem is philips?
[07:05] <VanessaE> violinappren, well it would seem that the version of pulseaudio that comes with Lucid is broken - the "combine" module crashes pulse :-/
[07:05] <vikas> there is no option coming to deselect
[07:05] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, bingo mate.

[07:07] <Blue1> radIT: sorry
[07:07] <Loshki> |jonathan|: some progress then: what model philips modem?
[07:07] <radIT> blue1:ow... no problem....
[07:07] <YankDownUnder> Loshki, MD950
[07:07] <|jonathan|> Loshki actually in my cover its writeen that MD950 usb card
[07:08] <|jonathan|> im confused its brand is vodafone and its philips in lsusb
[07:08] <|jonathan|> totally confused
[07:08] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Nothing to be confused about. Just get the usb-modeswitch .DEB, copy it to the other machine, install it, then re-run the wvdialconf program.
[07:08] <violinappren> VanessaE: hmm you could compile one.. but I remember before using pulseaudio i achieved something like that using merely alsa (to record sound and pipe it on ssh to aplay) but the sound quality was bad
[07:09] <brijithmac> hi all, can I reuse Home directory from my old installation when I install a fresh installation?
[07:09] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder can u gimme a link where i click and it will start downloading plz
[07:09] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder otherwise i dont undersand anything
[07:09] <xenogia> xenogia
[07:10] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Um...serious?
[07:10] <Loshki> |jonathan|: still no decent hits for md950....
[07:10] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder yeah
[07:10] <|jonathan|> Loshki lol man !
[07:10] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder got that
[07:10] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/usb-modeswitch/usb-modeswitch_1.1.0-2_i386.deb
[07:11] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder downloaded mate what should i do now
[07:11] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Copy it to the machine you need it on. Then install it. Then, as root (or use sudo), run it.
[07:11] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder tell me how to install it :P
[07:12] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, double-click it.
[07:12] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder dowble click will install it? then what to do after installation
[07:13] <brijithmac> hi all, can I reuse Home directory from my old installation when I install a fresh installation?
[07:13] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, As I said, install it. In a terminal, then run (as root or with sudo) usb-modeswitch and after that, you run wvdialconf again to re-generate the /etc/wvdial.conf => see if that wakes the modem up and makes wvdial access it properly.
[07:14] <abhi_nav> brijithmac reuse means?
[07:14] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder how to install it in terminal :P
[07:14] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder what should i type in terminal to install it
[07:15] <brijithmac> abhi_nav: I want use the same old home folder in the new installation
[07:15] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, dpkg -i PACKAGENAME.deb
[07:15] <|jonathan|> okk
[07:15] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, if /home is in different partition then yes you can
[07:16] <brijithmac> abhi_nav:yes its separate partition
[07:16] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, and tell be both your os old and the new you want to install?
[07:16] <violinappren> VanessaE: http://www.earth.li/~noodles/blog/2009/02/recording-application-sound-ou.html   but instead of a file name you could use - (stdout) and piple over ssh to aplay
[07:17] <violinappren> s/piple/pipe
[07:17] <brijithmac> abhi_nav: I just want to install 10.04, I am now using 9.10
[07:17] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, yes you can do it.
[07:17] <MokoN00b> is there some reason that the ibus-xkbc package doesnt exist for ubuntu?
[07:17] <brijithmac> abhi_nav: But I have adoubt ?
[07:18] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, yes?
[07:18] <brijithmac>  abhi_nav:In the home folder there will be many hidden configuration files
[07:18] <brijithmac>  abhi_nav:right ??
[07:18] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, yes they may cause conflict - 'may'
[07:19] <brijithmac>  abhi_nav:So when I install new there is a chance of conflicting ...
[07:19] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, 'may' be
[07:19] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, one e.g. firefox ./mozilla files also note that i never tried this. and note the use work 'may' :D
[07:20] <Ileden> Hi! I'm doing a fresh install of my ubuntu - what's the best way to transfer my mysql databases? Just mysqldump, or is there a better way (copying the database storage files directly, or such)?
[07:20] <HashCheck> ubuntu 10.04 is fantastic
[07:20] <HashCheck> great work
[07:20] <|jonathan|> HashCheck yeah works great with usb modems :D
[07:20] <|jonathan|> super work
[07:21] <YankDownUnder> HashCheck, Thanks - I worked hard on putting it together. :)
[07:21] <brijithmac>  abhi_nav:ok What if I remove all the folders and file which starts with (DOT)
[07:21] <brijithmac>  abhi_nav:can I avoid conflicts by this way ?
[07:21] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder im gonna do that wait
[07:21] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder dont go offline
[07:21] <|jonathan|> i have to disconnect this modem
[07:21] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, It's early. I'm not going anywhere yet.
[07:21] <vikas> i am getting this error any solution (gedit:1376): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: “ubuntulooks”
[07:21] <rollman> anyone know if you can install ubuntu on a sony e-book reader that uses Montavista linux OS and if so which version of ubuntu?
[07:22] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, try that. it is obviousl that apls will not conflict after that. but as I said I never tried it.
[07:22] <brijithmac> abhi_nav:ok Thanks
[07:22] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, welcome :)
[07:22] <Ileden> Also, are there other relevant diretories or files I should copy over to a fresh install, other than /home/user and /var/www ?
[07:22] <brijithmac> abhi_nav:ur name ?
[07:22] <abhi_nav> brijithmac, abhi_nav :P
[07:23] <YankDownUnder> vikas, apt-get install gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks
[07:24] <Alonea> I have a question? Why do I have to manually set my audio to microphone? why doesn't it detect this and automatically turn my speakers off and put sound through the headphones?
[07:25] <abhi_nav_> hello i was disconnected
[07:25] <abhi_nav_> brijithmac, I am Abhijit.
[07:25] <ManDay> Can I safely make /var/log -> /tmp ?
[07:25] <ManDay> so all logs get deleted on startup?
[07:25] <brijithmac> abhi_nav_: ok
[07:26]  * YankDownUnder has been disconnected since 1962 - but that doesn't seem to matter
[07:26] <abhi_nav_> YankDownUnder, disconnected from whome?
[07:26] <YankDownUnder> abhi_nav, Everything, everyone, everywhere, everything
[07:26] <abhi_nav_> YankDownUnder, :(
[07:28] <ManDay> How can I prevent Xorg from hotplugging all sorts of devices? I got inputdevices such as  12: "PATEN USB HID Device        "	[XExtensionPointer]
[07:28] <ManDay> 13: "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"	[XExtensionKeyboard]
[07:28] <ManDay> 14: "Macintosh mouse button emulation"	[XExtensionPointer]
[07:28] <ManDay> none of them i want
[07:29] <vikas> Package gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[07:29] <vikas> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[07:29] <vikas> is only available from another source
[07:29] <vikas> However the following packages replace it:
[07:29] <vikas>   human-theme
[07:29] <vikas> E: Package gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks has no installation candidate
[07:29] <FloodBot2> vikas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:29] <YankDownUnder> ManDay, Um...you'll have to be slightly more specific about your question mate.
[07:29] <ManDay> YankDownUnder, simply put i dont want these input devices
[07:30] <YankDownUnder> ManDay, Right. Are they getting in your way? Are they causing your existing mouse or keyboard to not function? Are they causing your screen to not display? I'm lost on the question.
[07:32] <ManDay> YankDownUnder, they are there without me asking for it - reason enough for me to get rid of them
[07:32] <YankDownUnder> ManDay, Um...is this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[07:34] <ManDay> YankDownUnder, no, its autoconfigured by X
[07:34] <YankDownUnder> ManDay, Ah. I'm still not sure if I fully comprehend the idea behind what you're saying...
[07:36] <Alonea> I have a question? Why do I have to manually set my audio to microphone? why doesn't it detect this and automatically turn my speakers off and put sound through the headphones?
[07:37] <abhi_nav> !sound | Alonea
[07:38] <Alonea> abhi_nav: i have to go to hardware, output and change it to headphones or speakers manually. is there a way for it to be automatic?
[07:38] <abhi_nav> Alonea, dunno look at that links.
[07:39] <Alonea> abhi_nav: oh, I thought you knew or was sending me to pages cause the answer was on one of them.
[07:39] <abhi_nav> Alonea, you may get answer in one of them
[07:40] <its-me-again> #grub
[07:41] <Alonea> abhi_nav: most of it seems to talk about not having audio, but I will look...
[07:41] <abhi_nav> Alonea, hmm
[07:42] <Alonea> abhi_nav: and I have sound, I just have to manually change the output device if I ever plug headphones in and if I unplug them, then have to change it back to speakers.
[07:44] <philips> Where can I find the repo for ubuntu-bug?
[07:44] <philips> Googling ubuntu-bug is obviously not terribly useful...
[07:45] <mrono> Interesting problem i've got
[07:46] <mrono> Trying to install winxp on a system that has no cd drive and can't boot from usb
[07:46] <mrono> however I have ubuntu installed
[07:46] <mrono> Is it possible to install Winxp from ubuntu?
[07:46] <its-me-again> able to help me here
[07:46] <its-me-again> i hve grub 2 problems and the ppl i tak to leave so i get confused
[07:47] <thune3> philips: ubuntu-bug is part of package apport, i'm not sure what you are looking for exactly.
[07:47] <Alonea> don't think so mrono. an OS generally has to boot itself from something other from the harddrive as it has to partition it
[07:47] <Alonea> mrono: if you had another computer could you do a network install???
[07:48] <mrono> Alonea: you have any ideas on how to install it on a system with no cd drive?
[07:48] <Alonea> mrono: have no idea how to do that though
[07:48] <mrono> Alonea: i do have another one, but I don't know how to do a network install
[07:48] <mrono> Alonea: can you point me in the right place?
[07:49] <Alonea> mrono: as I have never done it before, I really can't. maybe try googling it. best bet would be to buy a cheap internal or external drive
[07:50] <mrono> Alonea: any idea on how to do an OEM install
[07:50] <mrono> Alonea: say install it on another computer then change the hard drive?
[07:51] <Alonea> mrono: you could try that. install it on the hdd with another computer and swap
[07:52] <mrono> Alonea: I did it before, installed it and swapped and it worked fine, then i wiped it for some reason
[07:52] <mrono> Alonea: tried to reinstall it but it BSOD's when i try to boot
[07:53] <mrono> Alonea: and it works fine in the other one.
[07:53] <Alonea> mrono: hmm, are you able to do a windows repair or something? or you may have an incorrect bios setting
[07:54] <Alonea> mrono: this thread might help you do a network install though:http://www.netstumbler.org/f48/how-install-windows-2k-xp-over-network-12469/
[07:54] <mrono> Alonea: only problem is that I have to boot from something to get into repair
[07:55] <Alonea> mrono: yeah, see if you can do a network install. otherwise, you can get a cdrom for cheap (Especially internal). if you need external I haven't looked at prices in ages
[07:56] <JackStoner> !sleep
[07:56] <mrono> http://www.netstumbler.org/f48/how-install-windows-2k-xp-over-network-12469/
[07:56] <mrono> oops
[07:57] <ManDay> How can I prevent Xorg from hotplugging all sorts of devices? I got inputdevices such as  12: "PATEN USB HID Device        "	[XExtensionPointer]
[07:57] <ManDay> and so forth...
[07:58] <Alonea> mrono: i mean, you can get an internal for 25 bucks on newegg. just a plain dvdrom, can probably find cheaper elsewhere if you look
[07:58] <mrono> Alonea: laptop >.< http://www.smartcomputing.com/images/smartcomputing/fullsize/00515550.jpg
[07:59] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder
[07:59] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder hey the main problem is when i type wvdialconf it says that my modem is not detected
[07:59] <|jonathan|> what can i do now
[08:00] <Alonea> mrono: yeah, usb externals are 40-50
[08:01] <|jonathan|> where did YankDownUnder go
[08:01] <thune3> |jonathan|: if the modem is usb, do you have "cdrom" device that mounts when you plug it in?
[08:01] <|jonathan|> thune3 the modem is usb and i its plug and play device in windows and it doesnt run in ubuntu
[08:02] <Alonea> mrono: ya know, there might be someone in #hardware that might be able to explain network installs or in ##windows
[08:02] <|jonathan|> i hav cdrom device but the software doesnot support ubuntu
[08:02] <mrono> Alonea: I think I figured it out, just gotta make a small partition bootable into dos so I can get into the second partition that has winxp on it
[08:02] <Alonea> mrono: alright. good luck!
[08:02] <mrono> Alonea: rather, second partition that has the xp cd install files on it
[08:02] <mrono> Alonea: Thanks, helps to have someone to bounce ideas off of
[08:02] <thune3> |jonathan|: what I mean is: when you plug in the device, does what looks like a drive mount and show up on your desktop?
[08:03] <Alonea> mrono: np. I try to help
[08:03] <|jonathan|> thune3 no it doesnto show anything on my desktop
[08:04] <thune3> can you plug it in and then pastebin the output of "dmesg | tail -30"
[08:04] <|jonathan|> thune3 can u tell me how can i detect my modem in ubuntu
[08:05] <ice799> Hi there. If i set a reasonable limit in /etc/security/limits.conf, who exactly is producing the core dump when a process segfaults?
[08:06] <|jonathan|> "dmesg | tail -30" okk allright can i use another modem rather than this one? thune3
[08:06] <ice799> I mean, some one somewhere is requesting the core file size from PAM (I think?) and then causing a core dump after reading the core file format
[08:07] <Ileden> Hi! I started using dd to make a complete backup copy of an USB hd to another USB hd, but overnight my transfer performance has dropped to a grind, and I don't think it'll ever finish. What's wrong, how to fix this?
[08:07] <thune3> |jonathan|: you have no temporary connectivity on the device you are trying to get the modem working with?
[08:07] <|jonathan|> thune3 no
[08:07] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Wassup...
[08:08] <mrono> Anyone got any pointers for installing dos from USB
[08:08] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder f..uped
[08:08] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder its says that my modem is not detected when i type wvdialconf in terminal
[08:08] <happosade> I need to get IP  83.150.92.135 to eht0, whit netmask 255.255.255.0 and gw 83.150.92.254. DNS could be google's or so. So what should I command?
[08:08] <thune3> |jonathan|: is the device getting mapped to a tty, that's all I want to know. Did the os detect it as a modem and map it. [you might be able to tell by looking at dmesg output yourself]
[08:08] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder so what we have to do is how to detect the modem in ubuntu
[08:09] <|jonathan|> thune3 yeah tty and ttyS0
[08:10] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Did you follow the steps that I already gave you, or are you going to make me type them again?
[08:10] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder i double clicket the .deb
[08:10] <|jonathan|> :
[08:10] <|jonathan|> installed
[08:10] <|jonathan|> but it doesnt come under internet
[08:11] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, You've lost me on the last statement.
[08:11] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder :| sorry dude :(
[08:12] <|jonathan|> :(
[08:15] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, If nothing is working, next step is to download and install this: https://forge.betavine.net/frs/?group_id=12
[08:15] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder whats this
[08:15] <rocket16> !fcm
[08:16] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, It's a project called "Vodafone Mobile Connect" - it's a standalone GUI for dealing with USB modems - and for troublesome ones, at that.
[08:16] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder which one should i download
[08:17] <YankDownUnder> You're obviously going to have to install one that is ubuntu/Debian...
[08:17] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder yah from the lsusb i knew that my modem is philips
[08:18] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Just don't think about that right now, please. You're thinking off track.
[08:18] <|jonathan|> allright
[08:18] <annaimkonki> hi! whats a good app to record screencasts in avi or other formats? tuts... thanks!
[08:18] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Download https://forge.betavine.net/frs/download.php/626/vodafone-mobile-connect_2.25.01-1_all.deb
[08:19] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, I'm going to get coffee. It's freezing here.
[08:19] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder allright
[08:19] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder ill install it in ubuntu then what should i do
[08:20] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Um...what do you think you'd do after you install it...hmm?? Possibly run it? See what it does? See if it recognises your modem ?? :)
[08:20] <its-me-again> anyone here able to help me out with grub 2
[08:20] <|jonathan|> :D allright YankDownUnder have a nice coffee
[08:20] <annaimkonki> just ask
[08:21] <annaimkonki> its-me-again:
[08:21] <its-me-again> annaimkonki: can we pm then

[08:25] <annaimkonki> try that... its-me-again
[08:26] <thune3> horkhorkhork: ubuntu crashes? really? is this  specific to that mp3 file or all mp3 files?
[08:26] <horkhorkhork> havent tried any other files
[08:27] <thune3> horkhorkhork: and by crash you mean what? what are the symptoms? lights flashing on keyboard?
[08:28] <horkhorkhork> black screen with flashing underscore in top left, then is shuts off
[08:28] <horkhorkhork> it*
[08:30] <YankDownUnder> horkhorkhork, You're saying an MP3 file crashes yer box?
[08:30] <horkhorkhork> yeah..
[08:30] <horkhorkhork> makes no sense...
[08:30] <YankDownUnder> horkhorkhork, Convert it to an OGG and see if it does the same thing.
[08:30] <thune3> horkhorkhork: for some reason i suspect it is a graphics issue somehow related to the "goom" visual effects in totem that runs.
[08:31] <horkhorkhork> its not in totem, its a link online
[08:31] <YankDownUnder> horkhorkhork, Convert it to an OGG - that will strip out the external crap.
[08:31] <horkhorkhork> ok
[08:31] <annaimkonki> i ran the file horkhorkhork.. seems to work for me..
[08:31] <horkhorkhork> hmmm...
[08:32] <annaimkonki> but then again i have all restricted crapware
[08:32] <horkhorkhork> i added the restricted stuffs too.
[08:33] <horkhorkhork> would having to use i915.modeset=1 affect anything media related?
[08:33] <thune3> horkhorkhork:  /usr/lib/totem/totem-plugin-viewer handles mp3 in firefox by default, and it runs goom visual effects.
[08:33] <YankDownUnder> horkhorkhork, Shouldn't - however, if it's got graphics attached to it, possibly.
[08:33] <YankDownUnder> horkhorkhork, Try using a different player - like vlc or something...or audacious perhaps...
[08:34] <horkhorkhork> i was gonna get vlc soon too...
[08:34] <thune3> horkhorkhork: you could be in 8xx video hell, which some people experience. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[08:35] <its-me-again> annaimkonki: that does not look like what i need to do
[08:36] <horkhorkhork> a potential solution was found?
[08:36] <horkhorkhork> thats awesome
[08:36] <annaimkonki> sorry i couldn't help but thats what i did after updating/removing kernels..
[08:37] <horkhorkhork> so updating the driver might get rid of the problem?
[08:37] <thune3> horkhorkhork: apparently that is only for that particular chipset, the 855gm
[08:37] <annaimkonki> its-me-again: what is your specific problem?
[08:38] <Vin73> hi, how to uninstall an application previously installed from a .deb file on lucid?
[08:38] <MaRk-I> Vin73: synaptic package manager
[08:39] <its-me-again> annaimkonki: the automatic entres in grub 2 are rong in grub.cfg <- i cant edit grub.cfg like the ole grub menu.list. so it frustraighting
[08:39] <its-me-again> grub 2 makes it hard
[08:39] <Vin73> MaRk-I: thanks
[08:39] <thune3> Vin73: it is probably listed in Status view, Installed (local or obsolete) in synaptic
[08:39] <zus> i tried to create a folder and i got a message saying remaneing .... how can i undo a change like that? i hope i didnt rename a folder over creating one
[08:39] <MaRk-I> Vin73: or you can do in terminal: sudo apt-get remove package_name
[08:39] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub and put your manual entries in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[08:40] <Vin73> thune3: thanks...how do I get the status view?
[08:40] <thune3> Vin: lower left corner, there are buttons
[08:40] <Vin73> MaRk-I: how I can I find the package name?
[08:41] <MaRk-I> Vin73: hhmm stick to synaptic then just do "quick search" if you're not sure of the name
[08:41] <cherva> Can someone give me an idea why when I have 2 PC-s with exactly the same network config (same ip,same gateway, same DNS, same MAC) when I plug the cable into the first one there is internet and when I plug it into the second I can't ping even the gateway ?
[08:41] <Vin73> thune3: do you mean the lower left corner of synaptec?
[08:41] <Jordan_U> cherva: One likely needs a crossover cable while the other can switch automatically.
[08:41] <annaimkonki> its-me-again: be specific on what you want to do.. do you want to change its appearence? looks? default OS? etc.
[08:42] <Alonea> I have a question? Why do I have to manually set my audio to microphone? why doesn't it detect this and automatically turn my speakers off and put sound through the headphones? i have to go to sound pref, output, and choose connector
[08:42] <thune3> Vin73: yes "sections" "STATUS" "origin" in synaptic
[08:42] <Vin73> thune3: thanks
[08:42] <cherva> Jordan_U, the cable worked until I restarted the machine today ... so the cable is not a problem
[08:42] <its-me-again> annaimkonki: ok entries that osprober gets rong
[08:43] <its-me-again> the generic names that are not corect
[08:44] <Jordan_U> cherva: Can you pastebin the output of "ifconfig" on the machine that isn't working?
[08:45] <its-me-again> annaimkonki: ubuntu grub 2 uses os-prober. i remember grub 1 ws easy to set up adn use properly
[08:47] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: I've given you the answer twice already...
[08:48] <its-me-again> ok thanks Jordan_U thats a start
[08:49] <cherva> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.org/397299
[08:50] <Jordan_U> cherva: Did you limit it to just one interface or is that the complete output?
[08:51] <cherva> Jordan_U, I limited it
[08:51] <fz> #ubuntuusers
[08:51] <rufuscure> Hello
[08:52] <fz> Hello
[08:52] <Emry> Does anyone here experience random freezes and lockups when using evolution with gmail?
[08:52] <kraut> moin
[08:52] <hacked_kernel> is there a program that is equivalent  to wget??
[08:53] <Gm4n> hacked_kernel: curl?
[08:53] <hacked_kernel> Gm4n, yeah thanks
[08:53] <Jordan_U> cherva: It's possible that the enumeration of your ethernet devices is not stable, so what was previously "eth3" is now something else. In gernal, if you modify output that someone asks for in any way you should note that you have done so to avoid confusion.
[08:53] <Jordan_U> hacked_kernel: What's wrong with wget?
[08:53] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder
[08:53] <|jonathan|> installed that but
[08:54] <Gm4n> is there anything wrong with installing the libjson-glib-1.0-0 intrepid package on hardy?
[08:54] <|jonathan|> why do i install those soft i cannot use them
[08:54] <|jonathan|> :|
[08:54] <hacked_kernel> Jordan_U, i'm downloading a live stream from an ip camera and saving that to a file but sometimes the recorded movie is great and sometimes the frames are corrupted
[08:54] <balancecode> hello
[08:54] <cherva> Jordan_U, eth3 is where the cable is pluged this is the only port that has a lan cable in and dhcpd gives me an ip just on this interface
[08:54] <Mr_Sonoma> anyone know of a good CAD program that can view .DWG files? or a converter to convert .DWG to .DXF?
[08:55] <Mr_Sonoma> I've got QCAD but it doesn't seem to support .DWG
[08:55] <its-me-again> Jordan_U: ok where do i begin first wil adding entries in 40_custom remove everthign autoconfigured in grub.cfg
[08:55] <Jordan_U> cherva: Interesting that you're getting DHCP but can't ping the router. Can you do an arp request for the router's ip?
[08:55] <tn> does anybody know where the kernel and grub is installed I need the paths to repair my system
[08:55] <mike-from-canmor> can someone help me with a crashing issue I have had
[08:56] <Gm4n> tn: check /boot
[08:56] <Mr_Sonoma> !ask > mike-from-canmor
[08:56] <mike-from-canmor> it has been occurring since I started using ubuntu around 7.10
[08:56] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: No, setting GRUB_DISABLE_OS=true will disable the automatic entries for other OSs.
[08:56] <cherva> Jordan_U, how to make that request ?
[08:57] <Jordan_U> cherva: arp <ip>
[08:57] <|jonathan|> damni cannot fixup dial up internet in my ubuntu
[08:57] <cherva> Jordan_U, just a sec ...

[08:58] <mike-from-canmor> damni
[08:59] <mike-from-canmor> I have set up dial up many times before
[08:59] <mike-from-canmor> you need help pm me
[09:00] <mike-from-canmor> I recommend if you can to get an external dial up modem
[09:00] <mike-from-canmor> I might have a link to one that will work
[09:00] <mike-from-canmor> if you want
[09:00] <mike-from-canmor> it costs like 50 bucks but works great
[09:00] <mike-from-canmor> ?
[09:01] <mike-from-canmor> can someone help me?

[09:02] <YromrakS> is there any way to partition my primary hard drive once i'm on it?
[09:02] <tn> Gm4n: thanks
[09:02] <its-me-again> Jordan_U: how can I remove the grub.cfg entryes there adn use just whats in 40_custom then
[09:02] <YromrakS> i'm running karmic and i really like the settings i have so far but i'd like to install windows 7 atm
[09:03] <Gm4n> no problem
[09:03] <YromrakS> is there any way to partition my primary hard drive once i'm on it?
[09:03] <Gm4n> YromrakS: I'd recomend a gparted live cd
[09:03] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: Do you also want to remove the Ubuntu entries?
[09:03] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: Do you also want to remove the Ubuntu entries?
[09:03] <Gm4n> s/recomend/recommend/
[09:04] <YromrakS> gm4n thanks
[09:04] <dsearle> YromrakS, +1 on the gparted live cd
[09:04] <|jonathan|> Gm4n can u fix usb modem undetection problem?
[09:05] <its-me-again> Jordan_U: i want everthing in one place like 40_custom
[09:05] <mike-from-canmor> no ok
[09:05] <its-me-again> Jordan_U: also i dint know what to put to get thngs to boot i need a smple t edit that works
[09:06] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: Ok, then "sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/* && sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/40_custom"
[09:06] <mike-from-canmor> Jordin_U can you help me with something?
[09:06] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: But then you'll have to manually add new kernel entries when you upgrade your kernel, which doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to want.
[09:06] <Gm4n> |jonathan|: I can't say I've ever used a USB modem in ANY operating system, so probably not :P
[09:06] <|jonathan|> :D allright
[09:07] <Gm4n> how is it supposed to be detected? and what does it (not) do?
[09:07] <|jonathan|> Gm4n it says that my modem is not detected
[09:08] <|jonathan|> with the serial port
[09:08] <mike-from-canmor> My computer just crashed how can I get the log file
[09:08] <mike-from-canmor> so I can post it on the forums
[09:09] <dsearle> mike-from-canmor, Try looking in the directory /var/log/
[09:09] <|jonathan|> mike-from-canmor does ubuntu crash !?
[09:09] <mike-from-canmor> yes
[09:10] <its-me-again> Jordan_U: i want an easy setup mre like grub 1 (legacy) simple and easy to underatand
[09:10] <|jonathan|> lol.
[09:10] <mike-from-canmor> it has been a reoccuring problem
[09:10] <mike-from-canmor> I want to fix it
[09:10] <Deist> Hi, I'm having a major problem!
[09:10] <|jonathan|> omg i though it never crashes
[09:10] <mike-from-canmor> mine does
[09:10] <|jonathan|> im having the most major problem
[09:10] <Deist> Something is eating up my hd. I found a file just keep growing.
[09:10] <its-me-again> Jordan_U: sorry for all the questions. i need to understand things
[09:10] <Deist> No, you don't. Almost sure.
[09:10] <Deist> My CP is about to go kapputt.
[09:11] <mike-from-canmor> can anyone help me with this crashing problem
[09:11] <mike-from-canmor> It has been happening since I started using ubuntu 7.10
[09:11] <mike-from-canmor> and up
[09:12] <Gryllida> Hello! I suddenly found Applications -> Accessories -> Search for files... menuitem. Seeing it for the first time, can I know whether it is included into Ubuntu by default, was included after a recent update, or it's just me having payed not enough attention to that menu previously?
[09:12] <mike-from-canmor> what file would help me diagnose this crashing problem?
[09:12] <Clinteger> hi everyone
[09:12] <Gryllida> hi
[09:12] <Gryllida> !hi
[09:12] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: Just set GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub, write your manual entries for your other OSs in /etc/grub.d/40_custom and if that doesn't get you what you want the use grub legacy. I don't consider grub legacy simpler, and you won't get support from me or #grub, but you'll have what you want.
[09:12] <egtux> hi i have problem with open office and ubuntu 10.04, it is always crash
[09:12] <Clinteger> I made an entry in my user crontab and want to know why it isn't running
[09:12] <Deist> I really could use some help...
[09:12] <Deist> its quite urgent.
[09:12] <Jordan_U> its-me-again: Sorry, it's late. I meant set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
[09:12] <lrfeng> how to join the gnome-shell channel  , it seems an empty channel
[09:12] <Gryllida> hi
[09:12] <Gryllida> hi egtux
[09:13] <Gryllida> egtux, does open office or ubuntu crash, is it reproducible, what versions, when exactly does it happen?
[09:13] <zus> does anyone have rom in a wineprefix? can ya help me get it working  the wine channel is  dead aint no one  helping and its really REALLY  gorram aggravating.  i dont know what im doing and im pretty sure it got left hangging!
[09:13] <SwedeMike> !details | Clinteger
[09:13] <mike-from-canmor> :( no one ever helps me with my crashing problem on here
[09:14] <Clinteger> SwedeMike, okay I put "* * * * * /home/clint/wallpaper.pl" after typing "crontab -e" to edit it and it doesn't run
[09:14] <Gryllida> mike-from-canmor, what crashes? when? what versions? what did it start happening after?
[09:14] <Clinteger> manually calling wallpaper.pl works fine
[09:14] <zus> after WINEPREFIX=~/some.directory wine <whatever.exe>' the installer  opens then crashes a difficiency in wine.
[09:14] <trijntje> I need some help with ICS. I tried the "GUI method" from the link ubottu gives but this leaves me unable to connect to the internet
[09:14] <lrfeng> how to join the gnome-shell channel , it seems an empty channel, who can tell me
[09:14] <mike-from-canmor> Ubuntu the newest version it hard crashs
[09:14] <trijntje> Deist, what kind of file?
[09:14] <elguin> lol ubuntusux lol GENTOO 4 LIFE
[09:14] <insider> i use Ubuntu 9.10 with splash screen off and when i boot i see this message "udevd [1815] CONFIG_SYSF_DEPRECATED option udev ..."
[09:14] <mike-from-canmor> when I'm listening to music
[09:14] <Deist> trijntje, x-session errors
[09:14] <mike-from-canmor> When I
[09:14] <elguin> im stroking my dick
[09:14] <Deist> i removed it but no space was liberated.
[09:15] <Jordan_U> !ops | elguin
[09:15] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Is it working yet?
[09:15] <Rogasch> Hi, i have a question about CouchDB, i tried to save severel Contacts via Evolution. Well i didnt work at all because my CouchDB has no Tables. Do i have to create them by my self?
[09:15] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder proudly not :D
[09:15] <trijntje> Deist, its in your trash
[09:15] <Gryllida> mike-from-canmor, try to ask your question in one line, use Enter key less, I'm having difficulty to catch your question
[09:15] <egtux> Hi Gryllida, open office and it is version is 3.2 and after few mins in using it , it was crash and give me option to recover last file
[09:15] <MaRk-I> mike-from-canmor: disable the goom visual effects
[09:15] <Deist> no it's not. I emtyd it.
[09:15] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder my serial port is not detecting the usb modem
[09:15] <Deist> trijntje.
[09:15] <Gryllida> egtux, are you able to reproduce the crash?
[09:15] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Read the following page CAREFULLY. http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/
[09:15] <SwedeMike> Clinteger: try using perl -e or whatever it is to run it... that might work better.
[09:16] <Clinteger> ooh ok.
[09:16] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Serial ports do not detect USB's mate. They're two different animals.
[09:16] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder
[09:16] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder then why my modem is not detected by my ubuntu..
[09:16] <egtux> Gryllida , yes i can
[09:16] <trijntje> Deist, if its filling up your HD see what program is throwing all those errors
[09:16] <|jonathan|> it seems if someone want to use ubuntu he has to be a scientist
[09:16] <Gryllida> egtux: what are the steps to reproduce the crash
[09:16] <Gryllida> ?
[09:17] <mike-from-canmor> Ok here is the problem I will just be using ubuntu 9.10 and all of a sudden it will freeze up nothing will respond and music or sound will keep repeating over and over in the background, I have to power the system off to fix this problem. It has been happening to me since I started using ubuntu and would like to fix it. So How do I fix this problem, and it also just occured this is it powered up after the crash so how can I
[09:17] <mike-from-canmor>  get a log to diagnose the problem?
[09:17] <Gryllida> mike-from-canmor: hmm, very specific, did it work in earlier versions of Ubuntu?
[09:17] <mike-from-canmor> sorry for the run on sentence.
[09:17] <Rogasch> sorry to repeat , i have a question about CouchDB, i tried to save severel Contacts via Evolution. Well i didnt work at all because my CouchDB has no Tables. Do i have to create them by my self?
[09:17] <Deist> trijntje, I can't really find what file causing the fillup anymore. The new x-session-errors is like 17 kb...
[09:17] <Gryllida> mike-from-canmor: it is OK :D
[09:17] <egtux> Gryllida , just click recover file it take a few few seconeds to complete then open it
[09:17] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, There are several reasons why it might NOT be detected - bad design of the hardware is one...
[09:18] <SwedeMike> mike-from-canmor: that sounds like a hard freeze, most likely there will be no logs (if the caps lock key doesn't flip the caps lock indicator for instance). You might be helped by upgrade to a later ubuntu (10.04) where the kernel doesn't have your problem, but it might also be a hw problem.
[09:18] <dropson> How do I automaticly accept host key when connecting to a server with SSH for the first time?
[09:18] <mike-from-canmor> Yes this occured in all versions I have had installed on this computer from 7.10 up to 9.10
[09:18] <trijntje> I need some help with Internet Connection Sharing. I tried the "GUI method" from the link ubottu gives but this leaves me unable to connect to the internet. Am I doing something wrong?
[09:18] <dropson> without adding: StrictHostKeyChecking=no to the conf
[09:18] <mike-from-canmor> It is frustrating and is probably slowely killing my harddrive
[09:18] <Gryllida> egtux, ok you click "recover" what happens then?
[09:18] <insider> can anybody help me with udev [1815] error at boot?
[09:18] <mike-from-canmor> insider reinstall ubuntu
[09:18] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | mike-from-canmor
[09:18] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Poblem very mus poblem
[09:19] <Jordan_U> mike-from-canmor: Have you filed a bug report?
[09:19] <trijntje> Deist, if its one file, you should be able to find it with applications -> assecoires -> disk usage
[09:19] <insider> mike-from-canmor Ubuntu works fine but this error slows booting time
[09:19] <mike-from-canmor> no
[09:19] <mike-from-canmor> o
[09:19] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Try this as well: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/probleme-mit-umts-stick-xs-stick-w14/
[09:19] <egtux> Gryllida, it is recover last saved version of the file then i can open and edit it again
[09:19] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder okk dude
[09:19] <Clinteger> SwedeMike, still doesn't run :\
[09:19] <mike-from-canmor> well I recommend just reinstalling if it bothers you it will save more time then trying to diagnose it
[09:20] <Gryllida> egtux: it recovers the file, you can edit it. Are you able to make it crash again? How exactly?
[09:20] <its-me-again> hi in computer i cant find the right partition. they are not labled sda1, sda2 etc so i dont know what they are
[09:20] <mike-from-canmor> No I have not filed a bug report due to the fact that I have no idea where the log file is
[09:20] <Jordan_U> mike-from-canmor: Upgrade to 10.04 and if the problem persists then file a bug report and it may get fixed (bugs are more likely to be fixed in 10.04 since it's the most recent release and also a long term support release).
[09:20] <mike-from-canmor> I don't think that will make a difference
[09:20] <Deist> trijntje, the biggest file i can find there is around 5 gb. My hd is around 130.
[09:20] <insider> had anybody issue with udev errors?
[09:20] <egtux> Gryllida, what do u want to know exactly
[09:20] <mike-from-canmor> it has occured in all versions of ubuntu I have used
[09:20] <mike-from-canmor> I'm pretty sure I'm using 10.04
[09:21] <mike-from-canmor> never mind I'm using 10.04
[09:21] <mike-from-canmor> sorry
[09:21] <Jordan_U> mike-from-canmor: If magic sysrq doesn't work the next time this happens, then whatever else may be happening there is a serious kernel bug.
[09:21] <mike-from-canmor> How can I find the problem?
[09:21] <SwedeMike> Clinteger: you might be missing something from your environment variables, try outputting stderr etc to a file and run it from cron and see what comes out at that file... like add "> /tmp/cronout.txt 2>&1" to the cron line and then take a look at that file
[09:21] <mike-from-canmor> it happens to me relatively often
[09:21] <mike-from-canmor> It just occured to so I have log files
[09:21] <Clinteger> hm okay, thanks :D
[09:22] <Jordan_U> mike-from-canmor: So if sysrq magic fails next time run "ubuntu-bug linux" to submit a bug report. Submitting a bug report is a way to get support from the developers of the software itself :)
[09:22] <mike-from-canmor> Yeah but don'
[09:22] <mike-from-canmor> yeah but don't they need a log file of some sort?
[09:22] <Clinteger> now I wait.
[09:22] <sburjan> hello. where can I find my history file ?
[09:22] <Gryllida> sburjan, history of what?
[09:23] <sburjan> history from the terminal.. sorry
[09:23] <Jordan_U> mike-from-canmor: If ubuntu-bug linux doesn't give them the info they need, then they will likely tell you procedures that will.
[09:23] <egtux> Gryllida, ??
[09:23] <sburjan> history lists a lot .. but whan I am searching for .. is too old to be shown
[09:23] <Clinteger> SwedeMike, okay the output file was empty..but it still didn't work :|
[09:23] <Jordan_U> sburjan: ~/.bash_history
[09:23] <Gryllida> sburjan, ~/.bash_history .. oops I'm slow at typing
[09:23] <mike-from-canmor> could I run it right now
[09:23] <sburjan> thanks
[09:24] <sburjan> i was searching for .history :P
[09:24] <Gryllida> sburjan: yay
[09:24] <SwedeMike> Clinteger: add the flag to perl that does debug output and see how far it gets
[09:24] <p-dawg> Hey guys, I have an ntfs volume I mounted with umask=027,gid=100. Permissions are "drwxr-x---" for directories and "-rwxr-x---" for files.
[09:24] <p-dawg> I can edit existing files and write the changes but I can't create or delete anything as root.
[09:24] <its-me-again> anyone have a generic ubuntu entry for grub 40_custom file please
[09:25] <SwedeMike> Clinteger: if the file is still empty, then it might be that it can't find the perl executable due to PATH being wrong. Try adding the full path to perl when starting it.
[09:25] <Clinteger> yeah, im currently using the full path
[09:25] <Gryllida> Applications -> Accessories -> Search for files... menuitem. Seeing it for the first time, can I  know whether it is included into Ubuntu by default
[09:25] <Gryllida> ?
[09:25] <Jordan_U> Clinteger: What is the exact command that you use to run the script normally, and can you pastebin the script?
[09:26] <qwiksilver711> if i have a dual boot on a 500g hd, with 100g dedicated to ubuntu, and want to remove ubuntu, so i can give the machine to someone else, is there a way to do it without messing up windows? like can i use a partition manager in windows and just expand the partition, and it will boot fine?
[09:26] <p-dawg> qwiksilver711 - I think partition magic could work, but it's not free afaik
[09:26] <erUSUL> qwiksilver711: you will have to restore windows mbr.
[09:27] <p-dawg> And that too, about the mbr
[09:27] <qwiksilver711> how would i restore the boot record?
[09:27] <p-dawg> You can use windows repair console
[09:27] <dsearle> qwiksilver711, You can use the gparted livecd to modify the partitions. (free and oss)
[09:27] <p-dawg> command fixmbr if I recall correctly
[09:27] <mike-from-canmor> Can someone tell me what exactly I should do to fix my problem or report my problem?
[09:27] <qwiksilver711> would i need the windows disc for that?
[09:27] <zus> after WINEPREFIX=~/ the installer  opens then crashes a difficiency in wine.
[09:28] <e01__> hello
[09:28] <p-dawg> qwiksilver711: if you use gparted, you will need to download it and burn it to a CD, then boot from that
[09:28] <zus> can some one  explain how to get this working?
[09:28] <biomekanika> qwiksilver711: why not keep the partition and spread the ubuntu love. :)
[09:28] <p-dawg> for the windows recovery console you do need the XP CD
[09:28] <e01__> how can i connect internet over bluetooth of my gsm
[09:28] <e01__> i am reading here http://news.softpedia.com/news/Connect-to-the-Internet-from-Anywhere-Using-a-GPRS-Connection-50670.shtml
[09:28] <qwiksilver711> its win 7 p-dawg
[09:28] <e01__> but something wrong and i can`t connect
[09:29] <p-dawg> qwiksilver711: okay, then you'll need the windows 7 cd :D.
[09:29] <Jordan_U> mike-from-canmor: Let it happen again, try sysrq magic to reboot. If sysrq magic fails then you'll know there's been a kernel panic and you can report the bug via "ubuntu-bug linux"
[09:29] <e01__> i am with ubuntu netbook edition 10.4
[09:29] <qwiksilver711> and biomekanika, my wife can hardly handle windows... ubuntu would give her a stroke
[09:29] <trijntje> Deist, you might want to remove that file, if its in your home dir and you dont need it
[09:29] <qwiksilver711> ok p-dawg, so use the cd, and the repair console, command fixmbr... partition magic has a fix mbr command, would that work?
[09:29] <tophyr> top shows me as having 2441mb ram used, but the processes it lists only account for 509mb. how can i find what's eating up the other 1.9gb of ram?
[09:30] <Clinteger> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/0RSzWUcd
[09:30] <p-dawg> qwiksilver711: I've only used partition magic to resize windows partitions, I'm not sure about its fixmbr command
[09:30] <jigp> hello good afternoon. i tried to follow this ftp tutorial.https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html...i created a user with ftp privilege.but i cannot connect when i test it...wrong tutorial?port forwarding is working on ssh.but not in ftp..
[09:30] <mikeos> hi, update-grub is not called automatically when new kernel is installed via apt.. What package or script is responsible of this auto update?
[09:30] <erUSUL> qwiksilver711: http://robert.penz.name/221/mini-howto-restore-windows-mbrbootloader-with-linux/
[09:31] <trijntje> I need some help with Internet Connection Sharing. I tried the "GUI method" from the link ubottu gives but this leaves me unable to connect to the internet. Am I doing something wrong?
[09:31] <erUSUL> !ram | tophyr
[09:31] <Clinteger> lol, linux ate my ram
[09:31] <jigp> how to install ftp?so that my friend can access my files?thanks
[09:31] <|jonathan|> Clinteger how
[09:32] <|jonathan|> Clinteger how did it eat
[09:32] <Clinteger> |jonathan|, I was laughing at the URL :p
[09:32] <erUSUL> mikeos: the kernel package should trigger thwe update ... maybe you have both grub1 and grub2 installed ?
[09:32] <jigp> !ftp
[09:32] <YankDownUnder> Linux eats RAM. News at 11
[09:32] <|jonathan|> ohh lol
[09:32] <|jonathan|> linux made my exam bad
[09:32] <|jonathan|> real bad
[09:32] <p-dawg> Bump: I have an ntfs volume I mounted with umask=027,gid=100. Permissions are "drwxr-x---" for directories and "-rwxr-x---" for files. I can edit existing files and write the changes but I can't create or delete anything as root. Sorry for repeating ;b
[09:32] <jigp> hello how to insall ftp server?so that my friend can connect to me.thanks
[09:32] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Linux kicked my kitten
[09:32] <iceroot> |jonathan|: you have a support-question? and please remove the | from your nick, its "hard" to type that nick
[09:33] <jigp> i followed this tutorial but it didnt work https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[09:33] <|jonathan|> YankDownUnder lol so ur still with linux
[09:33] <|jonathan|> lmao
[09:33] <mikeos> erUSUL: i thought so, but it does not.. I have grub2.   FYI  my ubuntu installation CD failed to install Grub2 so i chosen to install Lilo. When the install completed I removed lilo and installed grub2 by hand. Booting works, everything works except from the auto update of grub menu list with newly apted kernels..
[09:33] <YankDownUnder> |jonathan|, Um...actually, yes I am. Since 1992 and still going.
[09:33] <Misterio> Anyone knows where is torrc in ubuntu 10.04?
[09:34] <|jonathan|> iceroot did i asky u anything for?
[09:34] <erUSUL> mikeos: what package you used to install gurb2? is grub-pc installed ?
[09:34] <dsearle> Misterio, /etc/tor/ ?
[09:34] <figure002> jigp: did you try to connect locally first?
[09:34] <iceroot> |jonathan|: no but i asked you
[09:34] <Misterio> dsearle: Let me check
[09:34] <Clinteger> Jordan_U, yt?
[09:34] <jigp> figure002 : how to connect local? i tried in remote...
[09:34] <Archive555> Okay, I've installed ubuntu, and after backing up the contents of one of my partitions, I delted it, and am now ready to format it with a filesystem that both Ubuntu and my Windows 7 dual-boot can access, after looking around, it seems Fat32 is the standard, but this partition is going to be 870GB, and I read that it becomes inneficient after that.
[09:35] <Archive555> Wondering what filesystem to use, thanks in advance
[09:35] <mikeos> erUSUL: for grub the following is installaed: grub-common, grub-pc, grub2
[09:35] <Misterio> dsearle: It is there, thank you
[09:35] <its-me-again> hi is this entry for 40_custom corect to boot vista http://www.pastebin.org/397319
[09:35] <|jonathan|> iceroot i hate the kids of hitler ! understand and zip ur mouth
[09:35] <dsearle> Misterio, No problem :)
[09:35] <figure002> jigp: with locally i mean, try to connect to the ftp server from the same machine, so with the command: ftp localhost
[09:35] <jigp> figure002 i followed this tutorial and do some port forward in my router.i can ssh but not ftp. https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[09:35] <iceroot> !ops | |jonathan|
[09:35] <erUSUL> mikeos: so when a kernel is installed you do not see the tipical « sudo upfdate-grub » output? or you see it but the config file is not updated ?
[09:36]  * YankDownUnder ponders
[09:36] <qwiksilver711> erusul, do i do both solutions, or just one of them?
[09:36] <erUSUL> qwiksilver711: use the one that uses install-mbr
[09:36] <figure002> jigp: i see.. try locally first, to see if the settings are alright
[09:36] <qwiksilver711> oh
[09:36] <qwiksilver711> ok
[09:36] <erUSUL> qwiksilver711: easiest of the two imho
[09:36] <mikeos> erUSUL:  I don't see the output, the new kernel package does not call the update-grub script, that made me think there's something else that is invoked
[09:37] <jigp> http://pastebin.ca/1900917 figure002
[09:37] <zoran119> where is menu.lst in 10.4?
[09:37] <erUSUL> !grub2 | zoran119
[09:37] <erUSUL> mikeos: very weird... the post install scripts of the kernel packages should call it afaik
[09:38] <Jordan_U> Clinteger: And how are you normally running the script?
[09:38] <Archive555> Would anyone be as kind as to help with my newbish filesystem problem?
[09:38] <Clinteger> Jordan_U, turns out gconftool doesn't work in cron :(
[09:38] <mikeos> erUSUL: thanks for this hint, I'll try to grep through the postinst scripts in the dpkg cache  for update-grup
[09:38] <figure002> jigp: i see you're trying to login with a username, did you create accounts for your ftp server?
[09:39] <jigp> figure002 this is my ftp configuration http://pastebin.ca/1900919
[09:39] <zoran119> how do i get rid of the bootup splash screen?
[09:40] <jigp> figure002 when creating a user, i just go to System>Administration>user and groups>and add user there and Main Group>ftp
[09:40] <Clinteger> thanks though.
[09:40] <Clinteger> nn
[09:40] <Tracert> d
[09:40] <YankDownUnder> zoran119, Remove the "quite splash" from the grub boot line
[09:41] <Archive555> 870GB partition that must be accessible from both Ubuntu and Windows 7, what filesystem should I use?
[09:41] <llutz> Archive555: ntfs
[09:41] <erUSUL> zoran119: edit /etc/default/grub
[09:41] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: What does the character '#' effect in the construct ... | sed 's#: .*$##g' ?
[09:41] <jigp> figure002 : i even restarted ftp and reboot too
[09:42] <Archive555> llutz: Sorry for newbishness, but I thought linux couldn't read that?
[09:42] <mikeos> erUSUL:  you were correct that grub-pc.postinst  contains calls to update-grub;  do you know whether these postinst scripts are logged?
[09:42] <nasa> hi all
[09:42] <llutz> Archive555: it can
[09:42] <iceroot> Archive555: is an on running on that partition or just used for transfering files?
[09:42] <llutz> !ntfs > Archive555
[09:42] <mikeos> erUSUL: oops.. should have been in the kernel package
[09:42] <erUSUL> bullgard4: sed can use any delimiter char. the most common one is / but you can use # if you want
[09:42] <erUSUL> mikeos: really dunno sorry
[09:42] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: It serves the same purpose as '/' normally would, except since you're not using '/' you don't have to escape paths in the pattern. Any character can be used as a delimiter.
[09:42] <Archive555> It's for file storage on both Ubuntu and 7
[09:43] <zoran119> erUSUL: do i need to run someting for grub to pick up these changes to this file?
[09:43] <Archive555> Music, movies, documents, etc.
[09:43] <figure002> jigp: i see, i never really tried it that way.. could you try and connect anonymously? chance this setting first to: anonymous_enable=YES
[09:43] <bullgard4> erUSUL, Jordan_U Thank you for explaining.
[09:43] <iceroot> Archive555: i would use ntfs because windows can read it by default
[09:43] <erUSUL> zoran119: sudo update-grub
[09:43] <iceroot> Archive555: like ubuntu
[09:44] <Archive555> Iceroot: thanks, the main reason was that somewhere I read that linux couldn't read/write to it.
[09:44] <iceroot> Archive555: ntfs is working fine since some years with ntfs
[09:44] <iceroot> Archive555: linux is working fine...
[09:44] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: You're welcome. Did you ever get your situation worked out? (it seems we're mostly timezone incompatible as it's 2:00 AM for me again:)
[09:44] <Archive555> Okay, cool, thanks again for the help.
[09:45] <jigp> figure002 : you mean i will set YES? and put back the "#" ?
[09:45] <dsearle> Archive555, IIRC previously you could only read ntfs, but that was a while ago:)
[09:46] <figure002> jigp: nevermind, i just read that it's ON by default when commented. So just try to login without a username and password.
[09:46] <mikeos> erUSUL:  interesting finding:  i tried "rgrep -i update-grub ./" under /var/lib/dpkg/info  on a different machine where auto update works, and just memtest86+ and grub is matched
[09:46] <nill> hi
[09:46] <mikeos> erUSUL: that would mean that kernels do not call the update-grub shell script or if they do then indirectly
[09:47] <figure002> jigp: or maybe with the username "anonymous", i'm not sure..
[09:47] <jigp> figure002 : i can login without login/pass.but im in the Command: LIST and then i get Error: Connection Timedout Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing
[09:47] <Alazare> anyone know if there is an exploit for kde to let you run seperate xscreen in 4.0+ kde?
[09:47] <nill> Any way to backup an image of my ubuntu os?
[09:47] <pommesky> Hello, how can i navigate into my network computers by the console ?
[09:47] <nill> for future restor
[09:47] <nill> restore
[09:47] <zoran119> and how do i stop x server from starting (i want to boot to a login shell)?
[09:48] <erUSUL> pommesky: define "navigate" ? ssh access? file server? ftp ?
[09:48] <Jordan_U> mikeos: Try asking in #grub, while it's an Ubuntu specific question the maintainer of grub in Ubuntu is often there.
[09:48] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: I do not know what the word "ever" exactly means in the phrase "ever get your sitution worked out". I managed to have this computer operational now. But most files in the /usr/bin directory still have the owner root/src instead of root/root.
[09:48] <mikeos> Jordan_U: thx for the tip
[09:48] <Daijoubu> How to get the MD5 hack from a burned CD and compared with ISO image?I burned two iso images on 4 CDs and now i can't remember which ones are which :)
[09:49] <Daijoubu> *hash
[09:49] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: It's a short hand for "Did you ever".
[09:49] <Jordan_U> mikeos: You're welcome.
[09:49] <pommesky> erUSUL : like a simple cd in the console
[09:49] <figure002> jigp: i think maybe it looks for the user's home directory; does that user have a home directory set?
[09:49] <Alazare> anyone know if there is an exploit for kde to let you run seperate xscreen in 4.0+ kde?
[09:50] <figure002> figure002: hmm, no wait.. you're anonymous...
[09:50] <jigp> figure002 : yup
[09:50] <erUSUL> pommesky: so you have  a share mounted and you want to go to there via console?
[09:50] <john38> Can somebody help
[09:50] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Did all of the packages re-install? Did you include /usr/bin in the list of directories in the command I gave?
[09:50] <figure002> jigp: is there a user ftp?
[09:51] <Daijoubu> How to get the MD5 Hash from a burned disk people? o-o
[09:51] <john38> Can you connect external speakers to an Imac
[09:51] <Daijoubu> K3B ?!
[09:51] <dsearle> Daijobubu, You may be able to use md5sum on the device, md5sum /dev/cdrom ?
[09:51] <Jordan_U> mikeos: Ahh, I thought that you were using grub2. #grub only supports grub2 (and with grub2 you likely won't have this problem).
[09:52] <MaRk-I> Daijoubu: md5sum bla.iso
[09:52] <erkan^> Do someone know which blog-software can I write a blogger to www.blogger.com ?
[09:52] <Daijoubu> MaRk-I on a burned disk
[09:52] <mikeos> Jordan_U: i am using grub2, what makes you think I'm using the legacy one?
[09:52] <erUSUL> pommesky: shares for the user are in ~/.gvfs/ so " cd ~/.gvfs/ "  but still not sure what you are actually asking
[09:52] <figure002> jigp: if so, you could check if that user has a home directory; i think maybe it's trying to LIST that directory, but can't find/read it.
[09:52] <Jordan_U> mikeos: You mentioned menu.lst in #grub, which is from grub legacy.
[09:53] <mikeos> Jordan_U: oops
[09:53] <jigp> figure002 : i tried my account.my account is root.still cant connect
[09:53] <john38> Can you connect external speakers to an Imac
[09:53] <nill> BloGTK WEB CLient
[09:53] <Getrix> hello! can anybody help my with my server problem? :) i'm first time here
[09:53] <p-dawg> Ok, I fixed my issue: I didn't have ntfs-3g and was mounting stuff with regular ntfs DOH
[09:53] <pommesky> erUSUL : Yes, i have a folder in my desktop which pointed to "smb://media-center-des/media1/" and i want access this folder by console
[09:53] <MaRk-I> Daijoubu: md5sum /dev/cdrom
[09:53] <Daijoubu> MaRk-I thanks ^^
[09:53] <erUSUL> pommesky: then go where i told you...
[09:53] <mrono> grr
[09:53] <MaRk-I> Daijoubu: yw
[09:54] <mrono> putting dos on a partition and making it bootable is a freaking pain in the ass
[09:54] <Hasanibrahim> hello all, i have installed ubuntu on windows. But now i'm going to format windows so will i lose GRUB and so ubuntu ?
[09:54] <pommesky> erUSUL : Ok it's work thank you a lot
[09:55] <MaRk-I> Daijoubu: and yes k3b should give you a md5sum if you look for it :P
[09:55] <figure002> jigp: hmm, to be hones i'm out of ideas; i know another vsftp tutorial that does work, but it uses a separate passwd file for the users+passwords.
[09:55] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: Not all packages did re-install. But I found reasons why certain packages did not re-install. So this is no problem for me any more and I can tackle it later myself. --  After you went to bed I repeated the command you gave using as a prefix the command 'directories="usr/bin". But this did not strip off the 'src' group ownership of all files in the /usr/bin directory.
[09:55] <Getrix> so, i have "init ureadahaed-other main process terminated with status 4". i read that problem inside fstab and my external usb HDD's connected. When i disconnect them I recieve this message. When they are connected I have blank screen with blinking line. what can I do?
[09:55] <Daijoubu> MaRk-I tried but can't find it :/
[09:55] <Getrix> Sorry for my terrible english :)
[09:55] <MaRk-I> Daijoubu: well the other method should work
[09:55] <mrono> Hasanibrahim: backup the ubuntu img and just reinstall grub and such when you reinstall windows and replace the new img with the old one
[09:55] <jigp> figure002 : link please :)
[09:56] <john38> Can you connect external speakers to an Imac
[09:56] <figure002> jigp: http://www.ubuntututorials.net/installing-vsftpd-using-text-file-for-virtual-users/
[09:56] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Was the "usr/bin" not including a leading '/' a typo in your comment or was the '/' missing from the command you ran?
[09:57] <jigp> figure002: thanks :)
[09:58] <figure002> jigp: you're welcome
[09:58] <cavetv> hi guys
[09:58] <eskofd> After searching for the answer for one hour and finding no solution I was wondering if here anyone knew whether there's an easy way of installing ProjectM pulseaudio visualizer to ubuntu _without_ compiling? :)
[09:59] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: According to my bash's history the command was: '~$ directories="/usr/bin /usr/sbin/"'
[09:59] <atude> Hi, how can I change the size of particular fonts (different language) in gnome-terminal?
[09:59] <cavetv> can anyone tell me how to automount a drive on startup, its my media tv computer and i have movies installed on another partition which i want to automount
[10:00] <hjst> atude: Edit > Profile Preferences
[10:00] <red> Having problems with Firefox 4 beta update, it worked fine for few days on my Ubuntu 10.04, but yesterday during aptitude safe-upgrade I got this: http://paste2.org/p/915339 (no replies on #firefox so asking here generally)
[10:00] <atude> hjst: that is for one font, and that would be the font gnome-terminal would use
[10:00] <jigp> figure002 : do need to uninstall vftp that i installed?
[10:00] <foureight84> how do you get irssi to display the user list on the right side of the window?
[10:01] <atude> hjst: so example, I can set my font to Terminus but chinese font would use some kind of default. I have no idea how to set that
[10:01] <llutz> cavetv: add it to /etc/fstab
[10:01] <hjst> atude: ah, now I get you
[10:01] <figure002> jigp: that tutorial also uses vsftp, so there's no need to uninstall it.
[10:01] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: That's correct then at least.
[10:02] <hjst> atude: I just use wenquanyi hei mono for everything
[10:02] <hjst> atude: not sure if what you're after is possible
[10:02] <foureight84> how do you get irssi to display the user list on the right side of the window?
[10:02] <cavetv> llutz, so i edit fstab and put my directory in there?
[10:03] <cavetv> llutz, with gedit?
[10:03] <abhi_nav> hello
[10:03] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: So the only solution to the dilemma I had was to re-install every single package using Synaptic. I started yesterday with the letters A and B.
[10:03] <edakiri> Where is the easiest way to find the change log of a 'proposed' package without installing it?
[10:03] <llutz> cavetv: sudo nano /etc/fstab, then add a line like "UUID=1234-54321 /media/stuff  ext4  defaults 0 0"
[10:04] <bullgard4> edakiri: packages.ubuntu.com
[10:04] <llutz> cavetv: replace uuid mountpoint etc.pp to your needs
[10:04] <hjst> foureight84: the nicklist script does that
[10:04] <foureight84> thanks hjst
[10:04] <cavetv> ok how do i find the uuid of the drive the rest im ok
[10:04] <cavetv> with
[10:04] <hjst> foureight84: no problem, should be on scripts.irssi.org
[10:04] <llutz> cavetv: sudo blkid
[10:04] <Andorin> What is the most user-friendly and safe way to manage fan speed? I need mine to go faster than it does.
[10:04] <erUSUL> !uuid
[10:05] <cavetv> llutz, thx
[10:05] <Andorin> And the user-friendly bit is because a noob friend of mine needs the same thing.
[10:05] <tdn> I have some DVDs as .iso files and I know how to create a loop back device and play them, but most regular users on the system does not know how to do that. How do you suggest a regular user would be able to play these .iso files?
[10:06] <foureight84> exit
[10:06] <erUSUL> tdn: most players can open iso files directly
[10:06] <llutz> tdn: mplayer --dvd-device=file.iso dvdnav://
[10:06] <bullgard4> Andorin: There is no user-friendly and safe way at the same time. You need to rely on Ubuntu's settings.
[10:06] <erUSUL> tdn: i.e. « vlc file.iso » should just work
[10:10] <tdn> erUSUL, llutz: Ok. I was not aware. But I think using the terminal to start a video is too difficult for many users. Can this be done using GUI?
[10:10] <edakiri> bullgard4: nice idea, but it seems not to have the lucid-proposed repository information.  Only lucid and maybe lucid-updates.
[10:10] <erUSUL> tdn: try it and see ?
[10:10] <llutz> tdn: most players should have a setting for that in the gui too.
[10:10] <tdn> erUSUL, I will. I am not on the system right now.
[10:10] <tdn> llutz, ok.
[10:10] <tdn> erUSUL, llutz: thanks for input.
[10:10] <cavetv> llutz, this is the line I used does it look ok to you? UUID=b4abfb7b-3957-4cae-b40e-3c1c918e5514 /media/Movies ext2 defaults 0 0
[10:10] <llutz> cavetv: yep
[10:14] <zoran119> anyone know how to boot to console (no x server) with 10.4?
[10:14] <trijntje> zoran119, google "runlevel"
[10:17] <iceroot> trijntje: we dont suggest google here, also ubuntu is not using runlevels like you think
[10:18] <trijntje> iceroot, In my defence, I was using it as a verb. But ill use 'search' in the future
[10:18] <foureight84> thanks hjst this works out perfectly
[10:18] <jigp> llutz : same thing :( same error
[10:19] <jigp> llutz : same thing :( same error
[10:19] <Gryllida> rage2, why do you want to change the /etc/resolv.conf  ?
[10:19] <rage2> Gryllida: because it keeps putting in my router's IP, and that causes pages to not load
[10:19] <dignan> join ##mslinux the only distro for power users.
[10:19] <mikeos> I solved the problem: /etc/kernel-img.conf  was missing lines postinst_hook and postrm_hook
[10:19] <iceroot> trijntje: this is not a channel to tell others to search
[10:19] <iceroot> trijntje: if you know how to do it, give him the solutions, if you dont know how to do it, just leave the question
[10:19] <YankDownUnder> Hmm...
[10:19] <llutz> rage2: change dhclient.conf if you need own dns-settings

[10:21] <zoran119> all the forums talk about removing gdm from startup links using update-rc.d but that doesn't work
[10:21] <rage2> Gryllida: I know my ISP's DNS servers.. I'm putting them in manually to avoid the connection problems created by having my router's address in there

[10:23] <rage2> erUSUL: I did put them in there actualy, but my /etc/resolv.conf file still gets overwritten
[10:23] <xover> I have connecting to my desktop using 'vino' I have compiz running, the keyboard and mouse events are not updating, is there a fix?
[10:23] <rage2> with an IP that I don't have in the connections DNS area
[10:23] <YankDownUnder> zoran119, What I've done in the past is to "chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm" => that works fine for me here.
[10:23] <erUSUL> rage2: then check what llutz said
[10:24] <jigp> figure002 llutz : ill manually create a folder then in /var/www/?
[10:24] <zoran119> YankDownUnder: cool... trying it now
[10:24] <figure002> jigp: try: sudo mkdir -p /var/www/mixtapegod

[10:29] <YankDownUnder> zoran119, ...hang on a tick...
[10:29] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: The reason for the second sed command is because we want only a list of package names, and the output of dpkg -S also includes the file that matched at the end of the list of matching packages.
[10:29] <llutz> zoran119: ubuntu uses upstart now, the startscripts are at /etc/init. update-rc.d won't work anymore as expected

[10:30] <figure002> jigp: did you start from the default vsftp settings? you should revert the settings from the previous tutorial first.
[10:31] <figure002> jigp: it might also be necessary to reboot, i too had to reboot before it finally worked.

WHAT? Can you link me to something about it? Isn't Ubuntu's philosophy being open-source?
[10:36] <ace> i don't remmeber how
[10:37] <iceroot> Gryllida: ubuntu is open-source
[10:37] <ManDay> If xinput says that I press button 4 on a pointer device should that necessarily translate to scrolling?
[10:37] <iceroot> Gryllida: but of course you can install non-free software likle oracle db, skype and so on, so what is the problem?
[10:37] <Gryllida> iceroot: but why would paid applications be included into the repo?
[10:37] <iceroot> Gryllida: not in the main repo
[10:38] <Gryllida> iceroot: not proprietary, 'PAID'
[10:38] <iceroot> Gryllida: and the problem is?`for oracle db you pay money

[10:54] <nanoguy> i did the same thing Alazare
[10:54] <YankDownUnder> MetalGeek_N00b, Coolbeans...now you do - HOWEVER, bear in mind that sometimes folks try to use theme packages that are either outdated, or just not properly put together...
[10:54] <nanoguy> i never fully got rid of KDE
[10:54] <nanoguy> ugh
[10:55] <trijntje> Hi all, trying to share internet connection via the ethernet port. However, when I plug in a cable no program can connect to the internet, while I still have wireless. Whats going on?
[10:55] <nanoguy> i ended up reinstalling
[10:55] <Alazare> i dont mind having kde still installed
[10:55] <Alazare> 90 percent of the apps i use are kde anyways
[10:55] <nanoguy> ok good
[10:55] <MaRk-I> !ics > trijntje
[10:55] <erUSUL> trijntje: the routing table gets messed up ? what error do you get from « ping somewebpagehere »
[10:55] <Alazare> i just like the gnome enviorment because of the fact that it supports seperate xscreen
[10:55] <Alazare> once kde supports that
[10:55] <Alazare> and my keyboard doesnt go all crazy
[10:55] <Alazare> ill be happy
[10:56] <sara__> ubottu please don't speak to speak... :)

[10:56] <ikonia> sorry for the slow respnse
[10:57] <erUSUL> trijntje: what is the cable connected to ?
[10:57] <MetalGeek_N00b> YankDownUnder, so you think i should download the hole list that i get from searching theme-engine
[10:57] <trijntje> erUSUL, windows PC that I want to share the connection with
[10:58] <erUSUL> trijntje: well can you compare the « ip route » output before and after you plug the cable ?
[10:58] <YankDownUnder> MetalGeek_N00b, The ones you probably want are aurora, murrine and that's about it, really...that should do the trick - however, if you're going to muck around with your themes, get 'em all.
[10:58] <AciD``> hi
[10:58] <MaRk-I> MetalGeek_N00b: I think the default theme is "ambiance" or "radiance"
[10:58] <dr3mro> please help me fix those errors http://pastebin.com/i5PQmyEX i have a slow boot and my ubuntu sometimes stall while booting and i have to reboot
[10:59] <YankDownUnder> Theme ENGINE, not the theme itself...slight difference there...
[10:59] <trijntje> erUSUL, trying that now, Ill probably go offline because I loose connection, brb
[10:59] <AciD``> I use kde apps in ubuntu, but somehow there is no icons in kde apps menu when i'm under gnome. Those icons are shown when under kde. Is there something special to do to see icons in kde apps under gnome ?

[11:03] <MetalGeek_N00b> YankDownUnder, Is there no way to tell what my theme needs as to download all is over 500 mb
[11:03] <YankDownUnder> MetalGeek_N00b, Um...did you just pick the engines, or did you pick like everything mate?
[11:04] <MetalGeek_N00b> everything in the list that comes up when i type "theme-engine"
[11:04] <YankDownUnder> MetalGeek_N00b, Um...mate...just pick the bits that say "theme-engine" - not all the rest...all you want is the engine for the themes...

[11:09] <MetalGeek_N00b> gotcha, sorry slow

[11:10] <erUSUL> !ics | An_Ony_Moose

[11:10] <YankDownUnder> MetalGeek_N00b, Good on ya - been there done that twice already...so my skin's a bit tougher on that note... :)
[11:11] <dr3mro> ok tell me how to fix this http://pastebin.com/i5PQmyEX

[11:11] <xover> I am getting extremely slow refresh rate with remote desktop, something like 0.1 frames per second
[11:12] <An_Ony_Moose> erUSUL, I used the "GUI Method Using Network Manager". It says nothing about forwarding ports :/
[11:12] <YankDownUnder> MetalGeek_N00b, Blessings mate
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> xover:  using what 'remote desktop' tool? what is your connection? what windowmanager are you using?
[11:14] <MetalGeek_N00b> still getting same prob with theme
[11:14] <MetalGeek_N00b> its called bluespace II
[11:14] <xover> Dr_Willis: from real vnc viewer winxp to ubuntu 10.04 vino
[11:14] <xover> using the lowest settings
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> I just tend to Mixx and Match the various theme parts till i get a combo i line.
[11:15] <YankDownUnder> MetalGeek_N00b, Can't say's I've seen that theme on gnome-look.org before....
[11:15] <caac> how come or how can I fix it when I open a chromium desktop app, it makes 2 taskbar entries?
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> xover:  FreeNX will give better speeds - but it will be a little harder to setup. Ive not had any issues using vino on my local lan. But i also am sure to disable compiz, and other effects.
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> xover:  i tend however to use very minimal desktops with vnc. like icewm, or somthiong thats just a window manager, for best speeds.
[11:16] <red2kic> Dr_Willis: Why? :O
[11:16] <vlaf> to get a working development environnement with maverick, what virtualisation software (kvm, virtualbox, ?) would you recommend? I've been browsing the ubuntu dev documentation but did not get a clear answer
[11:17] <trijntje> erUSUL, its not dns, going to a site with only its IP doesnt work in FF, while it does work now (without ethernet plugged in)
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> red2kic:  why to which of the 3 statements i made?
[11:17] <red2kic> Dr_Willis: Heh. I just got on the computer and the first thing I read was your last statement. You have an old hardware or something or you're just a minimalist freak?
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> red2kic:  vnc is easialy slowed down by a full gnome or kde desktop.  Thats what we were talking about 'slow vnc'  switching to kuist a window manager helps vnc out greatly
[11:19] <xover> Dr_Willis: I can connect to windows no issue with vnc, so why so slow in inux?
[11:19] <cherva> can someone explain to me how a ubuntu machine can ping another (I can see the ICMP request and respond in wireshark) but in the terminal I get 100 % packet lost ? Same with the DNS requests and internet at all .... this machine is sharing it's internet connection and machines behind it have no problem with the internet..... I tried to flush the iptables -  same result ....
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> xover:  could be the desktop is more 'complex' so slowing things down.  I tend to run vnc in its own 'hidden' desktop also. Not showing the 'current/local' desktop - that also helps to speed it up.
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> VNC is a very flexiable tool with much more.. err.. flexibility under linux, then it has under windiows.
[11:20] <xover> Dr_Willis: which version of vnc server do you run?
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> xover:  lately ive been using tightvnc. or vnc4server. I did learn abouit one called 'tigervnc' the other day. but havent tried it yet. I finally DID get freenx working. and fouind freenx a LOT LOT faster then vnc
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> xover:  on windows i tend to use 'ultravnc' but not used that in ages
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> http://tigervnc.org/
[11:23] <linc>               who knows how to set ipv6 ?
[11:23] <YankDownUnder> We're using IPv6 now? Far out! Cool! :)
[11:24] <jpds> YankDownUnder: No, it's real and people are using it.
[11:24] <YankDownUnder> I'll have to play with that then....(have to find out if the ISP's in Australia have grown up enough)
[11:25] <jpds> YankDownUnder: Internode is one.
[11:25] <trijntje> erUSUL, it's not DNS, could it be that ubuntu prefers ethernet over ppp0?
[11:25] <YankDownUnder> jpds, I'm stuck on Telstra mate...
[11:25] <selator> hi
[11:25] <abhinav_singh> hey how to undo the effect of rm command... accidentally i typed rm command and it deleted all the files in my home directory..how to recover them again please tell me
[11:26] <zn> hellooooo
[11:26] <blain> abhi_nav you can't
[11:26] <abhi_nav> ????????
[11:26] <abhi_nav> blain, :D
[11:26] <blain> only when using the GUI you can revert them from the trash
[11:26] <MetalGeek_N00b> How can i unpack an archive in terminal
[11:27] <selator> what's the best method for reporting a missing man page (namely, for open64)? somewhere it suggested i shouldn't use the general bug tracker
[11:27] <erUSUL> trijntje: well that's what i wnated to check with the route. but in both cases prefered ( default gataway gw is via ppp0 ) but i could be mistaken ... maybe in #networking can help further ?

[11:28] <erUSUL> trijntje: no problem
[11:28] <YankDownUnder> linc, Wassup mate?
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> snoop:  perhaps it was the gnome devs that did it.. You could also just use the cups web interface.
[11:28] <erUSUL> selator: depends... what is open64 ? ( the compiler? ) i do not see it in the repos ... a system/libc function ?
[11:29] <snoop> Dr_Willis, thx i know this tools, but i want understand the buntu/debian philosophy
[11:29]  * Dr_Willis has to wonder who 'the software source standard' is.. but i imagine this will get Offtopic soon.
[11:29] <selator> erUSUL: it's a libc function, similar to open(), but can open large files (e.g. more than 4 gigs of size)
[11:30] <linc> it tried ipv6 install "  then do what ?
[11:30] <erUSUL> selator: then make a bug report in launchpad/debian BTS  against manpages-dev ?
[11:30] <selator> erUSUL: ok, thanks, i'll do that
[11:30] <YankDownUnder> linc, I'm honestly not sure mate...I've not mucked with IPv6 as of yet - have you checked the forums?
[11:30] <abhinav_singh> abhi_nav no bro
[11:31] <abhi_nav> abhinav_singh, no? you mean all those msgs for me?

[11:36] <MaRk-I> linc: is your ISP ipv6 or you have an ipv6 broker?
[11:37] <abhi_triplet> abhinav_singh: That is why nautilus offer Trash. To undo the mistake. As for the terminal, you'll have to do with guides and some lucks.
[11:37] <linc> abhi_triplet,Yes I'm trying to install ipv6 ,but important dont know how to ?
[11:37] <abhi_nav> hey its not registered tiplet change it

[11:42] <Dr_Willis> experiMENTAL:  when you boot the PC. You hit some keys to get to the pc's 'bios' settings.. what you are describing sounds like a Hardware issue. Not a ubuntu/software issue
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> MetalGeek_N00b:  for the GDM login screen. i suggest just setting the wallpaper as you like. and leave the rest alone.

[11:49] <experiMENTAL> dr_willis: i dont remember any bios problems. ill check bios again, and if any problems appear, ill leave screen shot in my thread.
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> xover:  15% packet loss on a local lan?  that would point to some bad network  issues.

[11:54] <slow-motion> hi
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> MetalGeek_N00b:  the comments for that thing mention that many otehr people have issues with it not working.  Youmay want to experiment with somthing else.

[11:57] <Dr_Willis> civixier:  well user id 0 - is normally the root user. But what are you doing exactly? ive frogotten.
[11:57] <odb|fidel> ionut: is that supposed to be a question or just a statement? ;)
[11:57] <ionut> odb|fidel: question
[11:57] <odb|fidel> ionut: asking in äpidgin might help too
[11:57] <io> odb|fidel: A question mark usually marks a question.
[11:58] <odb|fidel> ionut: well - so you are asking if it doenst work anymore - confusing ;)
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> civixier:  i normally make a usb-live setup usiong the ubuntu usb-creator tool. or grub2. could be a bad file or somthing else that will be very hard to trak down
[11:58] <io> ionut: Over what protocol?
[11:58] <civixier> Dr_Willis: Can you do it persistent from there?

[12:02] <io> ionut: I am not sure - file transfer is working for me. Did you try in #pidgin yet?
[12:02] <ionut> io: yes, nobody answers
[12:03] <ionut> io: how can i reset pidgin?
[12:03] <MrPlopsy> pull the plug
[12:03] <ionut> io: or maybe cancel everything about his existence on my system and reinstall it
[12:03] <MetalGeek_N00b> Dr_Willis, I downloaded a load of theme engines earlier today so where should i go to get themes and mods that do work then?
[12:03] <thedoor> anyone can help me? my mouse scroll is not scrolling the page, it's changing the volume =/
[12:04] <blain> thedoor check in system settings
[12:04] <io> ionut: Open up Terminal (Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type "sudo apt-get purge pidgin" then "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade --show upgraded && sudo apt-get install pidgin".
[12:04] <thedoor> blain, where is system settings? i searched in there but it's don't work :(
[12:04] <io> ionut: That will remove Pidgin (and all its configuration data) and re-install it.
[12:04] <thedoor> ops, but i can't find it
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> MetalGeek_N00b:  use a tool like gnome-art or gnome-art-ng, and  gstyler, and epidermis  they automate it.
[12:04] <ionut> io: ok, i'll try, thanks
[12:04]  * thedoor don't speak english very well
[12:05] <MetalGeek_N00b> can i get from software center
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> MetalGeek_N00b:  theres a lot of very badly done theme and theme parts and other things on those gnome art sites. always check the comments.
[12:05] <erUSUL> thedoor: maybe you prefer to ask in your language's channel ?
[12:05] <blain> !mouse

[12:06] <blain> AdvoWork it is
[12:07] <experiMENTAL> bios looks OK
[12:07] <AdvoWork> blain, can you make it so it appears like you're on site here?
[12:07] <blain> you want to remote connect?
[12:07] <blain> use krdc
[12:07] <linxeh> AdvoWork: you cant run an RDP server on linux ?
[12:08] <jigp> figure002: thanks ill study the ftp :)
[12:08] <linxeh> AdvoWork: if you want to access linux desktop apps remotely, have a look at freenx
[12:08] <linxeh> AdvoWork: if you want to access windows servers remotely, look at rdp
[12:08] <erUSUL> AdvoWork: rdp only works with windows servers ( i.e there are linux clients but not linux servers)
[12:09] <AdvoWork> ahh ok. basically i just need users from site B to be able to connect to a pc/virtual server maybe here at Site A, and use web/email etc
[12:09] <kasun> Hello, today I encountered a strange problem today. That is, i get following error when I do any file operations: mkdir test
[12:09] <kasun> mkdir: cannot create directory `test': No space left on device
[12:09] <AdvoWork> and was wondering if its quiter doing that, than using the web to remote get data from site b to site a
[12:09] <linxeh> kasun: you may have run out of inodes or something, do you have lots of small files ?
[12:10] <kasun> linxeh, yes, i have lot of files of source files from repositories
[12:11] <kasun> linxeh, Is this the problem? So, what can I do for this?
[12:11] <kasun> linxeh, Is this the problem? So, what can I do for this?
[12:11] <linxeh> kasun: try df -i
[12:11] <linxeh> kasun: and df -h
[12:11] <linxeh> it should let you see whether you've run out of inodes, or run out of space
[12:11] <trijntje> Hi all, trying to set up ICS like ubottu told me, but I cant get it to work. Worse, i dont know how to find out where its going wrong. Does anyone have some advice for me?
[12:13] <kasun> linxeh, I have enough space and inodes as well: /dev/sda2            10623916 1999440 8624476   19% /media/DATA
[12:13] <kasun> linxeh, this is for df -h: /dev/sda2             179G  171G  8.2G  96% /media/DATA
[12:13] <linxeh> heh ok, so you dont have space
[12:13] <rocket16> Hello all,
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> 5% is reserved.. is that part of the 96% or not.. :) im not sure
[12:14] <abhi_nav> flootdboots are flooding :D
[12:14] <kasun> linxeh, well, 96% is not enough??
[12:14] <linxeh> kasun: linux filesystems typically maintain a reserve that only root can use
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> kasun:  this is just a data drive? or your /home/ ?
[12:14] <linxeh> 171G is a lot of source code ;-)
[12:15] <kasun> Dr_Willis, it's a DataDrive and is ntfs
[12:15] <linxeh> oh
[12:15] <linxeh> then ignore what I said
[12:15] <kasun> linxeh, ok,
[12:15] <geirha> kasun: Are you sure you're in the right dir? what does ''df -h ./'' say?
[12:16] <kasun> Dr_Willis, linxeh, I can create files in my home folder.
[12:16] <linxeh> the only time I use NTFS from linux is if someone begs me to help them
[12:16] <kasun> linxeh, its the same
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> I have to wonder why did it say 19% for /media/DATA then 96% for /dev/Data ? did i miss somthing?
[12:16] <Rishab_> hello evey one
[12:17] <geirha> Dr_Willis: inodes vs free space
[12:17] <rocket16> I have a minimalistic system, with GNOME (Openbox in place of metacity, PCmanfm in place of Nautilus) and all visual effects are disabled, with minimal look. I made almost all possible tweaks to boost the speed of my system, and it was running quite nicely uptill yesterday. But from yesterday, certain errors are displayed whenever I try to install/remove an app, like "unknown media type in all/all" and so. And my System is extremely slow. I disabled all unnece
[12:17] <kasun> Dr_Willis, sorry for not being clear: 19% is for INodes i.e. for df -i
[12:17] <kasun> Dr_Willis, and other is for df -h
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> do inodes even apply to NTFS ?
[12:17] <fungo_> hi,there. where is the mount point when I access net shared folders through samba?
[12:17] <Rishab_> getting error while mounting DVD. it says "Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount the volume 'UDF' Volume ".. Any clues ?
[12:17] <geirha> kasun: I don't know then. I'd boot windows and have the filesystem checked. Just to rule out corrupt fs.
[12:17] <zamba> where do i specify which locales to generate?
[12:18] <io> !locales | zamba
[12:18] <linxeh> kasun: whats the same ?
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> fungo_:  if the user mounted them they may be in .gvfs
[12:19] <fungo_> Dr_Willis, I'll check to see
[12:19] <rocket16> Any help?
[12:19] <kasun> linxeh, i meant "df -h ./" command gives the same answer  gave to you
[12:19] <Rishab_> hello, getting error while mounting DVD. it says "Cannot mount volume. Unable to mount the volume 'UDF' Volume ".. Any clues ?
[12:19] <linxeh> ah
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> rocket16:  try to install/remove an app how exactly?
[12:19] <linxeh> kasun: try the disk again on a Windows machine and run chkdsk or whatever it is these days
[12:20] <rocket16> Dr_Willis: Like "sudo apt-get install pidgin" in Terminal, then it displays messages like "unknown media type in all/all" and others looking alike.
[12:20] <fungo_> Dr_Willis, yeah,They are there.I thought it's /media/*.  Thank you very much!
[12:20] <blinkiz> Hi. Am looking for a way to include the interface in a ufw oneliner. Is this possible?
[12:21] <kasun> linxeh, geirha I didn't used windows for several months now. I couldnt partition it to ext4 as there was some data on it
[12:21] <kasun> does fsck.ntfs would help?
[12:21] <comag> hi. if i insert an usb stick i get a dialog "not authorized". thats uncool. what should i do?
[12:21] <erUSUL> rocket16: paste the whole error message please ...
[12:21] <erUSUL> !paste | rocket16
[12:21] <rocket16> erUSUL: Sure,
[12:22] <kasun> linxeh, it looks there's no command called fsck.ntfs.
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> !find fsck.ntfs
[12:22] <trijntje> Hi all, trying to set up ICS like ubottu told me, but I cant get it to work. Worse, i dont know how to find out where its going wrong. Does anyone have some advice for me?
[12:22] <Rishab_> any help ??
[12:23] <linxeh> kasun: there might be ntfsfix
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> Rishab_:  this is a movie dvd? or what exactaly?
[12:23] <Rishab_> Dr_Willis yes its a movie DVD
[12:24] <linxeh> kasun: but ideally, find a way to move all that stuff from the ntfs drive onto an ext4 drive
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> Rishab_:  I normally just start up VLC or GMplayer and they handle it. I dont have to mount them beforhand
[12:24] <Rishab_> Dr_Willis i installed libudf0 and udftools package but its not working
[12:24] <nisstyre65> Can I ask a question? Why do so many people think ipv6 causes slow DNS requests? it's one of the first suggestions on google, and there's threads full of people doing it on ubuntu's forums. Yet there's absolutely NO proof it does ANYTHING, or solves the real issues people are having with their network.
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> Rishab_:  ive never had to install any of that stuff in the past. I can access dvd video disks  as if they were data disks just fine. What are you wanting to do with the disk? Playit? if so try vlc and see if vlc mounts it poperly
[12:25] <kasun> linxeh, i would love to. But about 96% filled HardDrive and no portable drive in hand, I have no option
[12:25] <Rishab_> Dr_Willis and how to do that ?
[12:26] <kasun> but to stick with ntfs drive
[12:26] <geirha> kasun: No, linux can't do filesystem checks on ntfs. You must have windows for that.
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> Rishab_:  Install the vlc player.. start vlc.. tell it to play the dvd...
[12:26] <erUSUL> nisstyre65: quote « I can think of several rational explanations for the poor user experience. If the DNS query for a web site first returns a AAAA record and you do not have IPv6 running smoothly, the browser will first time out before trying the IPv4 address. »
[12:26] <rocket16> erUSUL: I removed youtube-dl installed on Laptop, through Terminal, and strangely, no error occured this time. But, I only have Firefox and Pidgin running now, and that "sudo apt-get remove youtube-dl" took nearly 4 minutes to complete and it took 100% of Processor of CPU, so I couldn't even move the mouse then, :(
[12:27] <Rishab_> okay let me try that thx... Dr_Willis
[12:27] <n00b_> wher can i get nubuntu
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> people cant install vlc and hang in irc at the same time? :)
[12:27] <erUSUL> rocket16: have you checked for clues in the logs ? what is consuming the cpu ? ( use top  to see )
[12:27] <kasun> linxeh, Dr_Willis geirha okay. i'm going to boot in to windows and I'll try to do a file system checkup
[12:28] <nisstyre65> erUSUL: why would the browser make a DNS request for an ipv6 address if you don't have a public ipv6 address?
[12:28] <kasun> linxeh, Dr_Willis geirha thanks for all the help
[12:28] <n00b_> kill
[12:28] <erUSUL> nisstyre65: becouse you usually get one by defaultif you have ipv6 enabled ( see the problem ? )
[12:29] <nisstyre65> erUSUL: but that's a bug in the browser then correct? and not the ipv6 module.
[12:30] <erUSUL> nisstyre65: i'm sure the standars mandate that behavior if you get a AAAA record then query through ipv6 and only do ipv4 when that timeouts
[12:30] <erUSUL> nisstyre65: the problem is that most people « ... do not have IPv6 running smoothly, ... »
[12:31] <erUSUL> nisstyre65: including me; mind you
[12:32] <rocket16> Is there a way to repair the current Ubuntu installation from the Ubuntu CD, without removing the files? (To make it like a new, fresh system)?
[12:32] <nisstyre65> rocket16: why would you want that?
[12:33] <linxeh> kasun: can you not borrow a drive temporarily from a friend / family ?
[12:33] <nisstyre65> I don't think there is any program on the ubuntu live cd that can do that anyway
[12:33] <rocket16> nisstyre65: Because my System is too slow now, and I wish to keep my files (without backing up) where they are.
[12:33] <nisstyre65> rocket16: you could back up your /home directory to keep all of your personal files and configurations
[12:33] <nisstyre65> and your /etc directory
[12:33] <its-me-again> hi I have turned off os-prober. 40_custom entries will not come up in bootloader now. what do i do??
[12:34] <its-me-again> because os-prober is turned off can i now add entries to grub.cfg.
[12:34] <trijntje> Hi all, trying to set up ICS like ubottu told me, but I cant get it to work. Worse, i dont know how to find out where its going wrong. Does anyone have some advice for me?
[12:34] <rocket16> nisstyre65: My Home directory is too large, about 70 GB, and I have a a 4GB Pen-Drive, so backing it up to my main Computer will be troublesome. Also, I don't have any external HD.
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> its-me-again:  how did you turn off os_prober?
[12:35] <its-me-again> Dr_Willis: i added entry in /etc/default/grub
[12:35] <nisstyre65> rocket16: what files are you wanting to keep?
[12:35] <administrator__> 我？
[12:36] <administrator__> 这是什么东西？
[12:36] <its-me-again> Dr_Willis: should i now run update grub
[12:36] <jpds> !en | administrator__
[12:36] <MaRk-I> !cn | administrator__
[12:36] <COOD> ？？？？？？？
[12:37] <its-me-again> Dr_Willis: i added this line "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true"
[12:37] <kasun> linxeh, yeah... I'll try to get a portable drive from someone. Im going to boot in to windows now.
[12:37] <kasun> bye
[12:38] <nisstyre65> rocket16: the only thing I can think of is to make a new partition with your /home directory...in fact I don't know why ubuntu doesn't do this by default
[12:39] <ne2k__> how can I install sun java on Ubuntu 10.04?
[12:39] <nisstyre65> rocket16: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[12:39] <rocket16> nisstyre65: Thanks, :)
[12:39] <its-me-again> how do i update grub now then
[12:40] <nisstyre65> make sure to backup your /etc directory as well rocket16 if you want to keep your settings
[12:40] <linxeh> ne2k__: any reason you dont want to use openjdk ?
[12:40] <MaRk-I> !java | ne2k__
[12:40] <nicofs> Does anyone know how long kompiling a custom kernel takes? it's been working now for about 2 hours... is there any way to see how far along the process is?
[12:41] <ne2k__> MaRk-I: how can I enable a repository from command line?
[12:41] <rocket16> nisstyre65: ok, thank you. :)
[12:41] <MaRk-I> !partner
[12:41] <linxeh> MaRk-I: those links go to pages that are awfully out of data (particularly the "JavaInstallation" one)
[12:41] <ne2k__> MaRk-I: thanks
[12:42] <linxeh> MaRk-I: why do you need the sun java as opposed to openjdk btw (I'm a java developer, I'm curious)
[12:42] <MaRk-I> linxeh: I didnt make them
[12:42] <MaRk-I> linxeh: I didnt ask for java
[12:42] <linxeh> sorry
[12:42] <linxeh> ne2k__: why do you need the sun java as opposed to openjdk btw (I'm a java developer, I'm curious)
[12:43] <ne2k__> linxeh: I have a third party app that runs fine on sun java. I've had problems using it on any other jre before. I'm now upgrading to 10.04 and I don't want the pain of trying out a different jre, when I know that sun works.
[12:43] <linxeh> MaRk-I: my bad; and I realise you didnt write them - I was just pointing out they arent great resources (eg the JavaInstallation page only talks about 8.04)
[12:43] <james1111111> Hi, I justin install squirrel mail on my ubuntu server and I cannot send or recive e-mails through it, allthough I can send mail though a script on my website, I get this error - "ERROR: Message not sent. Server replied:" there was no error code and no message the server replied with so Im rather stuck any ideas/
[12:43] <james1111111> ?
[12:43] <ne2k__> what is that ($lsb_release -sc) ?
[12:43] <ne2k__> $(lsb_release -sc) even
[12:43] <ne2k__> is that an alternative to `` ?
[12:44] <linxeh> ne2k__: ok. openjdk is the same source as sun java largely - I havent found any issues yet (but like you, I have had issues with other Java's in the past, eg IBM, and obviously GCJ)
[12:44] <rocket16> Does compiling a kernel in Ubuntu 10.04 increase the speed?
[12:44] <linxeh> ne2k__: that just assigns the name of the release (lucid) to a variable
[12:44] <linxeh> well, kinda
[12:45] <linxeh> captures the output of it
[12:45] <nisstyre65> rocket16: you could theoretically remove some unneeded aspects from the kernel, but the advantage is optimizing it for your cpu
[12:45] <nisstyre65> but, there's no real reason unless you have an old computer
[12:45] <djbeenie> anyone know of a streaming client for ubuntu, I used vlc for shoutcast, but it looks like they removed the support which stinks..anything else out there?
[12:46] <rocket16> nisstyre65: Thanks again friend, :)
[12:46] <anubis> Hello , Would someone be able to help me with a Peerguardian (mobloquer) problem
[12:47] <anubis> Ok well can anyone help me enabeling some modules in my Kernel ?
[12:48] <MaRk-I> djbeenie: you want to listen to shoutcast streams?
[12:48] <judgen> Sorry for a wier question but should not gtk-icon-theme-name="/usr/share/icons/Ken'sIcons" in gtkrc-2.0 work? or have i typed it wrongly?
[12:48] <judgen> i only get tango as default no matter what i do.
[12:48] <djbeenie> MaRk-I, sure or anything really..
[12:48] <nicofs> Does anyone know how long compiling a custom kernel takes? it's been working now for about 2 hours... is there any way to see how far along the process is?
[12:49] <MaRk-I> djbeenie: rhythmbox does, but you have to add the stations manually
[12:49] <djbeenie> MaRk-I, oh ok didnt know that, that is fine I only listen to a few anyways, thanks!
[12:49] <karthee> Hi .. how do I veryify if  processor is lacking hardware virtualization in my ubuntu 10.04 ?
[12:50] <Jordan_U> karthee: Run "kvm-ok"
[12:50] <nisstyre65> nicofs: it's probably going to take a LONG time, it took me 6 hours to compile xorg on a machine with 512 mb of memory

[13:36] <Industrial> I want to start a second X session with a different window manager while keeping the first not to lose my windows, processes and basically my work desktop. This so that I can mess around with other window managers :)
[13:36] <Industrial> How would I do that?
[13:37] <Industrial> like screen for X
[13:37] <Industrial> :P
[13:37] <p1l0t> I wonder what happens if you use screen under x... I guess to works withing the terminal window
[13:37] <p1l0t> within*
[13:37] <Misterio> p1l0t: Most of GUI applications don't work with screen
[13:38] <nicofs> MaRk-I: apparently it worked. Thanks for that.

[13:42] <theadmin> Now back to second question: How (with command line) to see what domain names are assigned to the IP specified?
[13:42] <theadmin> ...huh. Wait, let me reconnect, stuff is being weird :/
[13:42] <feindbild> anybody having an idea what that exactly means?
[13:42] <p1l0t> I went onto my netbook and typed screen tomboy - lol it stopped the window from popping up, but the menu icon on the top bar still worked
[13:43] <io> feindbild: Don't you want 'install' rather than 'build-dep'?
[13:43] <experiMENTAL> problem not solved, plz. black screen with white flashing stripes up to half of the screen preceded by a message "checking battery state... [OK]": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531543

[13:57] <feindbild> io: I was told ubuntu. but then I didn't install it
[13:57] <josip_> I tried plugging in /dev/sda6 instead of the hash, but the error pertains
[13:57] <feindbild> but all entries in sources.list point to ubuntu, so I guess it is ubuntu

[14:05] <arand> feindbild: To be honest I don't know. Do you have any non-standard software sources? (check in admin -> software sources)
[14:07] <feindbild> arand: there was a dotdeb, but I removed it since it screwed up php, everything else looks ok to me: http://pastebin.com/G1Uk2kUC
[14:07] <BoulderDave> I am starting to configure a stripped down ubuntu web server, and my root user has all the bash profile settings (such as mouse up history, etc)... when im creating new users... how can i copy this to each new user?
[14:08] <zus> i've noticed when i use the gwibber its not posting to facebook.. any idea why?
[14:09] <busfahrer> Excuse me, is it possible to set a master password in Evolution?
[14:09] <llutz> BoulderDave: copy it to /etc/skel
[14:09] <band> HI
[14:10] <BoulderDave> llutz, 'it'  are you meaning the .profile file?
[14:10] <llutz> BoulderDave: .profile/.bashrc whatever files you changed for your setup
[14:11] <Industrial> How do I completely remove everything xubuntu from my ubuntu install? I removed xubuntu-desktop with synaptic (and in fact anything matching xubuntu that i had installed) but that leaves all the apps.
[14:12] <its-me-again> lol i finally managed to edit grug2 in ubuntu after all the headache things where, with to many ppl trying to advise me, i did it.
[14:12] <arand> feindbild: Also /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* is of interest here, if there's any repos defined there.
[14:12] <feindbild> arand: nothing there
[14:12] <its-me-again> Industrial: how did you install xubuntu in first place
[14:12] <band> HELLO
[14:12] <gaussfrank> install
[14:12] <band> ANY ONE FOR PARTNER CHAT
[14:13] <gaussfrank> install xubuntu: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[14:13] <arand> !ot | band
[14:13] <its-me-again> band: do you mean pm(private message)
[14:13] <gaussfrank> uninstall
[14:13] <its-me-again> band this is not a general chat room
[14:13] <gaussfrank> sudo apt-get --purge remove libxfcegui4
[14:14] <its-me-again> Industrial: hello
[14:15] <tuxrocks> hey hi...actually i cant see the network manager panel icon...i removed ...how do i add back
[14:15] <tuxrocks> using lucid
[14:16] <tuxrocks> i dont see n/w manager in add to panel
[14:16] <tuxrocks> how do i reset the panel
[14:16] <Unknown0BC> Hello, trying to compile a program it tells me that: configure: error: Qt library not found. Maybe QTDIR isn't properly set or wrong --with-Qt-dir parameter.
[14:16] <Unknown0BC> When I run configure.
[14:16] <its-me-again> tuxrocks: right click on panel and ad to panel its there somewhere
[14:16] <its-me-again> tuxrocks: you need to readd what you removed cantreset to default that easily
[14:16] <Unknown0BC> i've tried to run it ./configure --with-Qt-dir using various directories I see qt libraries in.
[14:16] <tuxrocks> its-me-again: add wat
[14:17] <Industrial> its-me-again: with synaptic
[14:17] <Unknown0BC> No go.
[14:17] <Industrial> its-me-again: i installed xubuntu-desktop
[14:17] <arand> feindbild: Right, .2 is from -proposed, so the downgrade there should probably not matter. Likely there might be items installed from dotdeb that lingers and thus is messing with your package system. Try starting synaptic (Or aptitude ncurses, might do likewise) and checking out what's under "local/obsolete packages" And see if you can downgrade the relevant packages there to the proper ubuntu version. Take care if that wants to remov
[14:17] <Unknown0BC> I always get stuck compiling stuff.
[14:17] <Unknown0BC> :\
[14:17] <its-me-again> Industrial: then uninstall again in synaptic easy as
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: what are you compiling?
[14:18] <Industrial> its-me-again: like i said i removed all xubuntu-* packages but the apops (eg thunar and xfce-*) are still there
[14:18] <arand> feindbild: One you've marked all relevant downgrades (marked changes is a good filter to check status there.)
[14:18] <Unknown0BC> ActionParsnip, midingsolo-0.1.3
[14:18] <Unknown0BC> :)
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: looked for a ppa?
[14:18] <Unknown0BC> ActionParsnip, mmmm ?
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: its a 3rd party repo, i just searched launchpad and there isnt one listed there
[14:20] <freakynl> hi, i'm running 10.04 server with a java based webserver that is used to upload lot's of data (online backup). The clients uploading regularly loose their connection for up to 5 minutes and then log a network error, after the 5 mins they happily continue. ufw is enabled and 80/443 is open in there (http(s) is used to upload). I think it's some kind of rate limiter in ufw or something can it be removed (and perferably only for the 80/443)?
[14:20] <Unknown0BC> ActionParsnip, Well. If I can just figure out why the ./configure is not seeing my libraries.
[14:20] <its-me-again> Industrial: in terminal try this "sudo apt-get purge xfce4 && sudo apt-get remove xfce4" if that does not work then find each application adn remove them in synaptic ok
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: do you have the qt lib dev package installed?
[14:21] <Unknown0BC> I see stuff in various directories like: /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/imageformats/libqtiff.so
[14:21] <feindbild> arand: thanks
[14:21] <Unknown0BC> and /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
[14:21] <BoulderDave> llutz, copied the root user .bashrc and .profile into the /etc/skel but still not working (such as tabbed completion) for the new user
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: as you are compilig, you need the dev package, not just the binary
[14:22] <its-me-again> Industrial: reboot and let us know if that works
[14:22] <Unknown0BC> I've gone nuts installing everything qt to try resolve the problem.
[14:22] <Industrial> reboot o_O?
[14:22] <Unknown0BC> ActionParsnip, yeah i know.
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> Unknown0BC: i'd ask in #qt
[14:22] <its-me-again> Industrial: after you run that command reboot, restart computer ok
[14:22] <dsf> is it possible for screen or tmux to survive after a reboot
[14:22] <its-me-again> Industrial: reboot - restart computer
[14:24] <kishon> how to enable usbfs in ubuntu 10.04
[14:24] <llutz> BoulderDave: if you create new users, files from /etc/skel will be copied into the new-users $HOME. for users already existing you have to copy those files manually and source them to make changes active
[14:25] <BoulderDave> llutz, ah great, thank you :)
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> BoulderDave: as well as chown to the same username
[14:27] <band> arand HI HOW ARE U
[14:28] <tofufish> Noob question: Whats the easiest way to tell what video card is being used to output video using the live cd?
[14:28] <tofufish> I have 'hybrid graphics' and want to find out which GPU is being used
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> tofufish: sudo lshw -C display
[14:29] <VCoolio> tofufish: try this: lspci | grep -i vga
[14:29] <kishon> has anyone enabled usbfs in ubuntu
[14:29] <eduardo> hello, i'm here
[14:29] <BlueLotus> hi
[14:29] <p1l0t> !hi
[14:29] <kliwon> hi BlueLotus
[14:29] <freakynl> anyone on ufw? somehow i find iptables directly much less complicated, which kinda voids the name of ufw...
[14:29] <its-me-again>  tofufish ^ bith thoes suggestions wil work for you try both they do give slightly different ivfo but both give you what ou need
[14:30] <its-me-again> * both
[14:30] <eduardo> alguien habla spanish
[14:30] <p1l0t> !es | eduardo
[14:31] <figure002> !nl | figure002
[14:31] <BoulderDave> ActionParsnip, what do you mean 'as well as chown to the same username'
[14:31] <its-me-again> !nl | its-me-again
[14:31] <BoulderDave> llutz, hmm.. i created a new user, and still no luck :(
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> BoulderDave: if you copy the file over the file may not be owned by the right user, you will need to chown the file so that its owned by the right user name rather than root
[14:32] <BoulderDave> ActionParsnip, ahh thank you :)
[14:32] <tofufish> Grr they dont really help, both those commands report both video cards
[14:32] <p1l0t> !chown | BoulderDave
[14:33] <kishon1> is usbfs supported by default in ubuntu 10.04
[14:33] <BoulderDave> ubottu, p1l0t i know chown  , i was asking more about what file he was needing me to change
[14:33] <BoulderDave> ubottu i know chown  , i was asking more about what file he was needing me to change
[14:33] <BoulderDave> p1l0t,  i know chown  , i was asking more about what file he was needing me to change
[14:33] <tofufish> ActionParsnip: VCoolio: Is there a way to see which one is enabled?
[14:34] <tofufish> Rather then which ones are available
[14:34] <p1l0t> BoulderDave: It's alright the answer was kind of fail anyway I might suggest a new one for the bot
[14:34] <BoulderDave> p1l0t, lol  :)
[14:35] <arand> tofufish: Lookin at the xserver/gdm log might show it /var/log/*  or ~/.xserver   I think
[14:36] <tofufish> arand: No easy way? :P
[14:37] <feindbild> I guess there is no official php-5.2.13 for ubuntu?
[14:37] <BoulderDave> ActionParsnip, the .bashrc and .profile file was copied into the new user folder properly when i created the user... however i still don't have the same command line options (such as tab completion) that the root user has (of which i copipes its .bashrc and .profile files from).   am I going the right diretion with this?
[14:38] <linxeh> feindbild: isnt the standard version 5.3.2 now ?
[14:38] <arand> tofufish: Meh, you want butoons and flashing text? :p   There probably is, but I don't know them. Maybe in properties -> display...
[14:38] <lvh> hey
[14:38] <BoulderDave> (they came from the /etc/skel directory, and are owned by the new users, looks right)
[14:38] <feindbild> linxeh: yes, but some proprietary module needs 5.2
[14:38] <feindbild> and 5.2.13 is the current 5.2 release
[14:38] <lvh> Can I do an alternative install (onto a RAID array) from the Live media?
[14:38] <happyface> how do I open emacs in non-x11 mode (from ssh)?
[14:38] <VCoolio> tofufish: maybe something like 'grep -i display /var/log/Xorg.0.log' but I never used multiple video things so I'm not too sure, it does show what I have enabled
[14:39] <feindbild> linxeh: *cough*ZendOptimizer*cough*
[14:39] <lvh> I know the Live media supports starting the installer, but I'm guessing it starts the default desktop install, not the alternative
[14:39] <tofufish> Thanks arand and VCoolio
[14:40] <tofufish> VCoolio: Output is ' (II) Intel(0) : ....... '
[14:40] <tofufish> Do you know what the (0) is?
[14:40] <BoulderDave> ActionParsnip, should i be changing the /etc/.bashrc instead?
[14:40] <its-me-again> IRCAnswersBot
[14:40] <linxeh> feindbild: what about on dotdeb ?
[14:41] <VCoolio> tofufish: no, but I have that too, only with Nvidia
[14:41] <tofufish> VCoolio: Bugger, i was hoping it meant it was using my onboard inter rather then my nvidia
[14:42] <VCoolio> tofufish: if that's in xorg log, it is using the intel thing, or is there also a nvidia entry for you?
[14:42] <arand> feindbild: http://2bits.com/drupal-planet/various-ways-running-php-52-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx.html
[14:43] <arand> feindbild: Might be useful.
[14:43] <tofufish> VCoolio: Using lshw -C Display and lspci | grep -i vga there are intel and nvidia entries
[14:43] <tofufish> but using your command, there is only the inter(0)
[14:43] <tofufish> intel*
[14:43] <feindbild> arand: thank you
[14:43] <tofufish> Why do i keep mistyping that.
[14:43] <D347H-C0D3> Hi gys... I just used debootrap for ubuntu 8.04 on my ubuntu 9.04(hosted on virtual box). When i tried installing xfce desktop on ubuntu 8.04 the folowing error came: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464024/
[14:44] <VCoolio> tofufish: so, you have both cards listed in hardware info, which is right; you have intel in the logs, to that's the one that is enabled I'd say
[14:44] <tofufish> Excellent, Is it assumed the other one is not being powered?
[14:44] <feindbild> *cough* debian is too complicated for me
[14:46] <VCoolio> tofufish: if it is recognized in the hardware list I'd say it is, only not used at the moment
[14:47] <tofufish> VCoolio: Is it possibly to disable it somehow?
[14:47] <tofufish> I dont have an option in the BIOS
[14:48] <VCoolio> tofufish: I don't know that, also isn't really ubuntu/linux related so maybe there is a better place to ask
[14:48] <tofufish> VCoolio: Alright, thanks for your help though
[14:49] <VCoolio> tofufish: the bios is the place to look however, I disabled onboard sound there
[14:52] <Vigo_> I was trying for a vanilla Ubuntu, I do not need Bluetooth, Printers, and other packages,I downloaded the Minimal with hopes of doing a custom or personal install ofg packages as I needed or required that uses minimum resources and is not such a monolithic kernel of packages I never use, I did the Minimal Install, but ended up with tti only, what or where did I foul up at?
[14:54] <n00b__> i want to dispaly all my dpkg --get selections | less during my startup , what should i do???
[14:54] <DrMax__> I have a macbookpro, I want the "gauge" key (F4, without function) to be remapped to show battery information. What's the best way of doing so ?
[14:54] <abhijit> hello abhinav_singh
[14:55] <abhinav_singh> hello abhijit
[14:55] <n00b__> i want to dispaly all my dpkg --get selections | less during my startup , what should i do???
[14:55] <jimlovell777> Vigo_: I've never tried a minimal install only the alternate install but perhaps you didn't foul up, maybe that's just what it is. I would do a full install and de-select everything you don't need use. Synaptic will generate a script to copy that action should you need to re-install at a later date,
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> Vigo_: install lubuntu-desktop   for a minimal distro
[14:55] <theadmin> n00b__: You wouldn't pipe it to less, or else your boot'd be stuck
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> you can remove cups and bluetooth stuff after the install but it will be very small and incredibly fast
[14:55] <n00b__> y so ??? wil the EOF wont work
[14:56] <jimlovell777> DrMax__: System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts should do it I think,
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> n00b__: less is interactive
[14:56] <theadmin> n00b__: Just DON'T pipe it to less and that's all?
[14:56] <DrMax__> jimlovell777 : no, there's no "show battery status" in there
[14:56] <Vigo_> jimlovell777, ActionParsnip: Thank you very much.
[14:57] <DrMax__> I've also looked in gconf-editor for a setting that had no interface element attached to it, to no avail
[14:57] <n00b__> so what if i want to print all these with a diff of .25 seconds or less
[14:57] <n00b__> but still how to do it
[14:57] <n00b__> ???
[14:57] <jimlovell777> DrMax__: You would add the "Show Battery Status" command and map the key to it. I'd have to google the "Show battery Status" command though.
[14:57] <DrMax__> n00b__ : maybe with watch?
[14:57] <Vigo_> ActionParsnip: I think that is the ticket, I do not have a printer and knew I was forgetting something.
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> n00b__: make a script to do it then launch it at startup with an ampersand to put it in the background
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Vigo_: just pull out cups and you'll be ok
[14:58] <n00b__> can you please elaborate i am very new to linux
[14:58] <coz_> Vigo_,  I found that Edubuntu-desktop  has both kde and gnome applications but is far faster than if you installed both of those DE's onto ubuntu
[14:58] <theadmin> coz_: Somehow that is true
[14:58] <DrMax__> jimlovell777 : yes, I thought of that, but after quite a lot of googleing I haven't found an acceptable lynx-èsque way to do this. All I found was complicated scripts to parse ACPI information
[14:58] <Vigo_> ActionParsnip: I was going to use that auto script on the forums, looks painless enough....
[14:58] <DrMax__> which are susceptible to break at next update...
[14:58] <coz_> Vigo_,  and if you install that with minimal install  where it gives you the choice  you will be please  I just installed it this morning via mini cd
[14:59] <zet> #ubuntu ua
[14:59] <jimlovell777> DrMax__: The status bar top right shows it at a click, there's gotta to be a way to invoke it with a keypress. I/we'd have to find that command though, I think that's the most favorable solution.
[14:59] <n00b__> please?
[14:59] <theadmin> Hm... Say, if I'm torrenting something onto a NTFS device, will it be in any way slower (?) than on ext4?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> n00b__: ampersand puts commands in the background so other apps can run, you can use a script to do whatever you wish. I recommend you output the output of your commands to files and you can read the files
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> n00b__: be patient, i'm not that bloody fast
[15:00] <jimlovell777> theadmin: I don't *know* but I'd say not.
[15:00] <Vigo_> coz_: Yes, I  am happy with the TLI, I also want to test some eye-candy out to see performance stats.
[15:00] <knightstalker> Hello,Any reasons all Persian subtitles I download are changed to some weird characters?
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> n00b__: less is not appropriate here as the whole bootup will hang while you read the screen
[15:00] <zet> hi
[15:00] <coz_> Vigo_,  then compiz would be one approach
[15:00] <theadmin> knightstalker: Encoding. Do you know what encoding they are in?
[15:00] <n00b__> please?
[15:00] <knightstalker> theadmin,UTF-8
[15:00] <DrMax__> jimlovell777 : that's the solution I was exploring. There aught to be a way, since on my other laptop, the xf86Battery key works well
[15:00] <coz_> Vigo_,  which is the hardware configuration of your machine?
[15:01] <theadmin> knightstalker: That's unlikely since then they would display properly :/
[15:01] <coz_> Vigo_,  rather "what" is it
[15:01] <zet> people you see what i write?
[15:01] <jimlovell777> DrMax__: I'll do some googleing... That might be a feature I want on my laptop too.
[15:01] <knightstalker> theadmin -.-
[15:01] <theadmin> zet: Yah.
[15:01] <Vigo_> coz_: Older CPU, 1.7g RAM.
[15:01] <knightstalker> theadmin,well,I just opened them in gedit and it failed,let me also try in Media Player
[15:01] <coz_> Vigo_,  that shouldnt be a problem...how much ram and which video card?
[15:01] <theadmin> Vigo_: 1.7 gig? That's damn fast to run GNOME... (which runs perfectly well on even 512mb)
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Vigo_: for compiz we only need your video chip, the rest is moot
[15:02] <n00b_> please help
[15:02] <przemek_> I have some problem, I tried to compile QMYSQL driver on Ubuntu in this way:  qmake "INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/mysql" "LIBS+=-L/usr/local/lib -lmysqlclient_r" mysql.pro && make. In result: ../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient_r  Is it problem with qt? ubuntu? mysql?
[15:02] <DrMax__> On my dell mini, there's a key with an battery icon; emits xf86battery, and it causes the OSD to display "battery, x hours y minutes left" or something
[15:02] <coz_> Vigo_,  in terminal    lspci | grep -i vga
[15:02] <Vigo_> coz_: 256mb or so, it is a Radeon 650 series, also ancient in computer terms.
[15:02] <coz_> Vigo_,  mm let me check for ati hold on
[15:02] <DrMax__> but on the macbookpro, there's a gauge key that is used for nothing, I would like to remap it to xf86battery, or at least cause the OSD to display battery status
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> n00b_: what are you trying to achieve exactly?
[15:02] <darksider>  ##php
[15:02] <coz_> Vigo_,     Compiz requires at least a Radeon 7000 (or M6). For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver.
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Vigo_: better than most of my systems here
[15:03] <theadmin> Vigo_: I have a Radeon Xpress and it does run Compiz here
[15:03] <coz_> Vigo_,  did the video driver install by default on that system?
[15:03] <DrMax__> I've tried to remap it to 244 (xf86battery) but while xev reports xf86battery as pressed, the OSD is not brought up
[15:03] <theadmin> Vigo_: Unsure whether that's "better" or "worse" than what you have :D
[15:03] <n00b_> i just want to print all my installed softwares during my startup with a certain time interval
[15:04] <mrad> Hi
[15:04] <Vigo_> theadmin: Yeah, I am testing stuff for donated laptops on a home box, this is a test, only a test, but backups are still made vigorously.
[15:04] <DrMax__> n00b_ : man watch
[15:04] <coz_> Vigo_,  if you are really concerned about resource useage and you are the cli   you can just sudo apt-get install lxde  I believe
[15:04] <DrMax__> watch runs a command periodically
[15:04] <coz_> or  lubuntu-desktop
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> n00b_: why during startup? It's not going to change between then and login....
[15:04] <mrad> Hi
[15:04] <DrMax__> something like watch -n 5  command will execute command every 5 seconds
[15:05] <n00b_>  no
[15:05] <mrad> how to install intel driver
[15:05] <zet> I have problems with my scanner scanjet 3770 10.04 system. Ubuntu dont see my scanner.Plz help!
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Vigo_: lubuntu-desktop will also install some super lightweight apps instead of the usual heavy stuff which comes with ubuntu
[15:05] <n00b_> i want it when it check battery states and all
[15:05] <theadmin> Now... Any easy CLI disk burner? Wanna finally figure how does one do it from CLI
[15:05] <Vigo_> coz_: Yes I already tried and tested LXDE, !#Crunch seemed to be a bit spiffier,
[15:05] <DrMax__> n00b_ : try watch -n 2 date
[15:05] <DrMax__> it will update time/date every 2s
[15:05] <coz_> Vigo_,  yeah crunchbang  is a bit spiffier but didnt they move away from ubuntu based?
[15:06] <n00b_> where should i write this
[15:06] <DrMax__> in a bash script
[15:06] <DrMax__> or in system->preference->startup applications
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> n00b_: sure but between the battery state and login it won't change, so running a command every 2 seconds or whatever will have zero difference
[15:06] <Vigo_> ActionParsnip: Yes, you are getting the idea of what I am testing and the parameters that I wish to stay in or under.
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> n00b_: if you put the script where DrMax__ says then it will run at logon
[15:07] <theadmin> coz_: Crunchbang is, currently, based on Jaunty which will be EOL very, VERY soon. (Altough that may be old info - I'm not watching it that often)
[15:07] <DrMax__> ActionParsnip : I think he wants to monitor programs loading or something
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> Vigo_: yes as I use the same, i find ubuntu disgustingly bloated
[15:07] <feindbild> ok, I give up. where do I get the add-apt-repository?
[15:07] <coz_> theadmin,  ah I was sure I read they are moving away from ubuntu b ut i could be wrong :)
[15:07] <theadmin> feindbild: ??? It's a built-in command since Karmic
[15:07] <VCoolio> theadmin: you could try the script here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99568
[15:07] <zet> who can help me?
[15:07] <mrad> ok, what is the extra package  that when you installed i can define my card
[15:08] <feindbild> theadmin: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:txwikinger/php5.2 sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
[15:08] <mrad> any help !
[15:08] <Vigo_> coz_: Is like Openbox or Flux, sorta, these Derivatives are made better or worser by the Community of users, and that is the freedom I choose in GNU/Linux.
[15:08] <theadmin> feindbild: What is your Ubuntu version?
[15:08] <coz_> Vigo_,  yes for sure
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> zet: run: lsusb    then websearch for the 8 character hex id for guides
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> Vigo_: lxde uses openbox by default
[15:08] <n00b_> Sorrsorry couldnt understand
[15:09] <WolfpupL> is there a way to configure xchat to automaticaly verify my nic?
[15:09] <VCoolio> feindbild: isn't it apt-add-repository?
[15:09] <bazhang> WolfpupL, auto sign in?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> n00b_: i'll give you a script, gimme a sec
[15:10] <WolfpupL> and how would i set that up
[15:10] <Vigo_> ActionParsnip, coz_, theadmin and others: Thank you kindly, guess I will keep testing and making backups. Puters are fun.
[15:10] <n00b_> thank you sir

[15:11] <coz_> Vigo_,   good idea    I would consider Edubuntu from the mini cd install.... I am quite surprised at the speed and pleased I dont have to bother with many libraries for either kde or gnome applications :)
[15:11] <the_file> is it hard to install graphic card drivers for ati cards?.
[15:11] <the_file> is it as easy as executing the package?.
[15:12] <Vigo_> coz_: I am using the method described here:> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1155961

[15:15] <iceroot> Mias: you mean how to integrate compiz in kde?
[15:15] <feindbild> lol, I'm a slackware user since 10 years. Currently I'm wondering how complicated someone can make it to build a silly package from source xD
[15:15] <coz_> Vigo_,  reregister with just   Vigo   although I have gottne use to my tail :)
[15:15] <iceroot> feindbild: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
[15:15] <iceroot> feindbild: thats all to build a source-package
[15:15] <BoulderDave> i have a user in the 'admin' group, however, it still says 'user not in sudoers file'.
[15:15] <Vigo_> weeeee
[15:15] <Mias> iceroot: so to say, yes
[15:15] <mrad> i can't remember the command it is some thing apt-get install extra
[15:16] <coz_> Vigo_,  also try    /nick Vigo
[15:16] <iceroot> Mias: ubuntu-restricted-extras you mean
[15:16] <feindbild> iceroot: yes, but I was planning on just exchanging the source tarball and changing the version and build the stupid thing.
[15:16] <iceroot> mrad: ubuntu-restricted-extras you mean
[15:16] <feindbild> iceroot: from the official source package
[15:16] <iceroot> Mias: sorry wrong nick
[15:16] <Mias> np
[15:17] <iceroot> feindbild: you can use rfakeroot for a quickbuild or pbuilder for a clean (chroot) build
[15:17] <mrad> iceroot, thank u very much
[15:17] <iceroot> feindbild: if you know what to do its not very hard.
[15:17] <iceroot> feindbild: just change the versionnumber with  debchange -i and rebuild the package
[15:17] <anubis> does lucid have a firewall wich runs automatically?
[15:17] <Vigo_> coz_: Tried that, I registered 5 or 6 years ago, that email system is long gone, after I do this minimal thing  I will attend to /nick <ghost> <password>
[15:17] <n00b_> Sir can you also guide to how to learn bash and Linux more efficiently
[15:17] <iceroot> anubis: no
[15:17] <n00b_> Sir can you also guide to how to learn bash and Linux more efficiently

[15:18] <iceroot> anubis: firewall (ufw) is disabled by default
[15:18] <Mias> iceroot: I want to login with compiz as sassiontype in kdm
[15:18] <anubis> iceroot you ever used moblock?
[15:18] <iceroot> n00b_: for bash see #bash  they have a good tutorial and wiki
[15:18] <iceroot> anubis: just iptables
[15:18] <Mias> already made an /usr/share..../kdm/compiz.desktop
[15:18] <iceroot> Mias: ah ok you want to choose in the session-screen to use compiz, sorry i dont know how to do that
[15:19] <BluesKaj> !builddeb
[15:19] <theadmin> BluesKaj: To build a debian package, use "sudo checkinstall" after compiling with !make
[15:20] <ManDay> Is there an "X-related" support forum somewhere?
[15:20] <anubis> iceroot in iptables , could u take a guess at what the cause of the error: "iptables: Chain already exsists"
[15:20] <Mias> earlier this worked automagically
[15:20] <iceroot> anubis: you are using a chain already, have a look with ipdatbles -l
[15:20] <feindbild> iceroot: yes, but lucid carries php-5.3.2, I need 5.2.13. And that won't work cause of all the useles patches that do nothing but mess up the fs layout. And I can't even find where the configure flags are hidden. So I give up. Thanks for your help ^^
[15:20] <database> !say lame
[15:21] <anubis> iceroot ipdatbles? not a command
[15:21] <iceroot> anubis: iptables
[15:21] <BluesKaj> theadmin, was trying to bring up the factoid for feinbild ,but he left
[15:22] <theadmin> BluesKaj: Seems there is no such factoid at all :P The one you want is !checkinstall

[15:22] <Vigo_> BluesKaj: Dontcha just hate it when that happens....
[15:22] <anubis> iceroot says "iptables -l " requires an argument
[15:23] <Vigo_> !firewall
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> nelson8874: with a blank dvd media in, if you run: sudo lshw -C disk     does it say the drive is ready or empty or anything?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip>   
[15:24] <fruitbag> Hey
[15:24] <BluesKaj> yeah , and checkinstall relates to build deb , but why not just base the factoid on a words ppl will actaully recognize :)

[15:44] <aaa_> hi how can  i make  port forward?
[15:44] <aaa_> on ubuntu
[15:44] <Jordan_U> VCoolio: fsck, be sure to backup all your important data though.
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> VCoolio: are there any files open in the folder, or is the pwd of any terminals in the folder?
[15:44] <Vigo_> ravma: What is the function of the USB?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> aaa_: is the system the only system on your connection or do you use a router?

[15:45] <VCoolio> ActionParsnip: no, just the file manager, it's an external disk, it complained about same file it cannot 'stat' before
[15:45] <Vigo_> ravma: Data storage is or is there data on it?
[15:45] <VCoolio> Jordan_U: will try that, thanks
[15:45] <ravma> yes
[15:45] <Jordan_U> VCoolio: You're welcome.
[15:46] <aaa_> i use a router conecteted to  another router
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> aaa_: then the port forwarding will be done in the router(s)

[15:47] <aaa_> but how exactly
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> aaa_: it varys wildly between routers, you will have to consult your manual
[15:47] <Vigo_> ravma: It is usually lspci , that URL explains it a bit better.

[15:53] <ActionParsnip> garym: oh dear, ive seen my team have a TONNE of headaches with DNS superceding DHCP
[15:53] <aravind_> can someone tell me how i can copy a file from another partition? i can access it but i cant copy it,it asks for root auth,is there a way to permenantly give root auth for it?
[15:53] <vikas> i did that Misterio
[15:53] <mrcan> hello
[15:53] <Misterio> vikas: And, did it work?

[15:54] <eein> question about package management.  If I select a package lets say dia-gnome it has two dependencies dia-libs and dia-common which it will mark for install, is there a way to remove these dependencies when dia-gnome is removed?  currently when I remove dia-gnome it tells me which packages were dependent on it but i have to select those manually
[15:54] <ddavids_> pls is there a way to set presence for particular contacts and appear as invisible to others in empathy?
[15:54] <vikas> no
[15:54] <Beyecixramd> VCoolio: okay, thanks, it worked perfectly :)
[15:54] <garym> ActionParsnip, thanks, I'll be more emphatic ;)
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> cheesepie: you can read their .bash_history and the hidden config files for the apps (e.g. firefox you can make a new profile useing the guest profiles .mozilla folder
[15:54] <Vigo_> aravind: That is a very dangerous concept.
[15:54] <karthee> hi .. does webcam work in flash player in ubuntu 10.04 ??? It works otherwise but not in flash .. Any ideas ???
[15:55] <aravind_> Vigo_: oh..what else would you suggest?
[15:55] <Misterio> ddavids_: Blocking an user? That's not empathy's function, is service's function
[15:55] <cheesepie> ActionParsnip: i think the fellar was playing some dvd movies in vlc.. Can i know what movies, he was playing
[15:55] <Beyecixramd> VCoolio: aaah.. but it doesn't read window decorations... it reads the content only... how can i make it read Metacity/Compiz?

[15:56] <vikas> after that i used many forms for solution but non worked
[15:56] <ddavids_> Misterio, not blocking a user - setting my presence from contacts...like setting my status as invisible to most of my contact and as visible to just a few of my contacts...
[15:56] <Beyecixramd> VCoolio: nevermind, i measured the window decorations and done
[15:57] <aravind_> mrcan: ctrl+h
[15:57] <mrcan> aravind_: dont work...
[15:57] <Vigo_> aravind: You could chmod it, or append it to an admin/sudo class, I understand the question, I think you understand the potential security flaws, in concept.
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> cheesepie: you can find their config in ~/.config/vlc   if you replace yours with theirs you may be able to see their recently used list which may include the disk. i dont use vlc much at all so can't say what it does or doesnt do
[15:57] <MaRk-I> karthee: you right click the flash window and select webcam "allow"
[15:57] <Beyecixramd> karthee: yes... over XMPP
[15:57] <Misterio> ddavids_: I doubt that can be possible

[15:58] <MaRk-I> Beyecixramd: fine, works for me
[15:58] <etotheipi> how would I go about making a disk image of a hard disk with a nonstandard filesystem and nonstandard partition table? fdisk stalls retrieving information about the disk, and dd stalls after copying 16KiB >_>
[15:58] <Beyecixramd> MaRk-I: lucky you then
[15:58] <etotheipi> all I want is a bit-level copy to a file
[15:58] <aravind_> Vigo_: yea i do understand..but i dont really get the solution you've suggested...can you please elaborate?
[15:58] <ddavids_> Misterio: ok thanks for your time
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> etotheipi: you can use dd_rescue
[15:58] <karthee> Beyecixramd:  Need it to work on flash .. Just wanted to show that drivers are properly installed.. ubuntu s detected my webcam .. but flash is not showing up anything ..
[15:59] <Beyecixramd> karthee: search google "flash player control center" or something like that
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> etotheipi: just restore from your backups after repartitioning, much simpler
[15:59] <Jordan_U> etotheipi: dd shouldn't care about the filesystem or the partition map.
[15:59] <Beyecixramd> karthee: and allow the URLs you want, on the webcam tab
[15:59] <karthee> Beyecixramd: sure ..
[15:59] <Beyecixramd> what, karthee?
[15:59] <etotheipi> Jordan_U: that's what I find strange. I did a simple dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/asdf/hdd.img, and it always stalls
[16:00] <karthee> yes Beyecixramd ..
[16:00] <papcy> how can i export evolution mail to outlook?
[16:00] <mrcan> Anybody have experiences about Qt cross compiling?
[16:00] <etotheipi> ActionParsnip: what do you mean?
[16:00] <ddavids_> pls, which would you advise, ubuntu, kubuntu or both?
[16:00] <Beyecixramd> karthee: :|
[16:00] <etotheipi> I'm actually making a backup of a HDD used in a PS2, via my laptop, so I have to use an IDE enclosure, connecting it via USB
[16:00] <Vigo_> aravind_: Like a Samba Share, sorta thing, (no advert for Samba) just an example, share the folder but use some SEL or security in or on the share.
[16:01] <karthee> Beyecixramd : did i miss any of your chats/questions ?
[16:01] <etotheipi> I'll try dd_rescue.
[16:01] <aravind_> Vigo_: okay! i'll do that...thanks!
[16:01] <vikas> is there any solution for blank sereen problem, i did ctrl+alt+f7 then then booting stopes at chacking battry status, this occure 5 times then ask for login
[16:01] <Beyecixramd> karthee: , no you just said "sure" and i asked why you said that, and you replied "yes Beyecixramd" so i'm feeling a bit lost now
[16:01] <papcy> somebody help me
[16:02] <Jordan_U> etotheipi: I second ActionParsnip's ddrescue advice, though I'd recommend GNU ddrescue (from the gddrescue package).
[16:02] <ddavids_> pls, which would you advise, ubuntu, kubuntu or both?
[16:02] <Beyecixramd> vikas: first of all... please improve your english... it hurts :(
[16:02] <Vigo_> aravind_: You are quite welcome, happy coding.
[16:02] <papcy> i need to export evolution files to outlook
[16:02] <ddavids_> pls, which would you advise on a netbook, ubuntu, kubuntu or both?
[16:02] <aravind_> Vigo_: :)
[16:02] <bazhang> ddavids_, try them both
[16:02] <Beyecixramd> papcy: that doesn't sound like possible due to Outlook closed source nature
[16:02] <blain> kubuntu
[16:02] <andre_> Hey. The last time I've used Ubuntu was@6.06 or so, so I'm not really up to date with PulseAudio or anything. How would I go about changing up my sound device's max volume now on 10.04?
[16:02] <vikas> sorry for that my english is very bad
[16:02] <VCoolio> ddavids_: not both, choose one, install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu or other way round, you can choose at login
[16:02] <papcy> wow
[16:03] <bazhang> ddavids_, and ubuntu and kubuntu netbook remixes as well
[16:03] <solotim> hello. my prime partition is shortage of space, so I moved my /home to another partition and created a symbolic links pointed to that. I wonder if I can do the same thing to other root directories. Any suggestions?
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> etotheipi: repartition the disk so the partitions are healthy, then restore your data
[16:03] <Beyecixramd> vikas: okay, nevermind... you might want to chat in your native language at the ubuntu forums. Oh! and i have no idea about your problem, sorry
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> papcy: wow what?
[16:03] <blain> solotim you should have used lvm if you predicted you would need more space
[16:03] <Beyecixramd> andre_: just click the speaker icon
[16:04] <blain> that's not a pretty workaround
[16:04] <ddavids_> bazhang: try them one after the other or all at once?
[16:04] <etotheipi> ActionParsnip: but the partitions *are* healthy -- the HDD works perfectly in the PS2. I just want to transfer the data to a larger disk. also, I don't know of any software able to manipulate the PS2 partition structure
[16:04] <Vigo_> Thank you one and all, have a great moment.
[16:04] <bazhang> ddavids_, up to you; you can install the various metapackages and switch between them at the login window
[16:04] <papcy> <ActionParsnip: might loose all my files
[16:04] <ddavids_> but im also not sure if i shld go for the netbook editions or the desktop editions.
[16:04] <vikas> ok no problen
[16:04] <hybridvigour> greetings
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> papcy: why dont you have a backup?
[16:05] <blain> he probably can afford to lose that
[16:05] <bazhang> ddavids_, then check out some screenshots online, and see which you like more.
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> etotheipi: then i'd use dd_rescue, you can then fsck the image and then use foremost
[16:05] <papcy> <ActionParsnip: just need to export the evolution files to outlook
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> papcy: you can extract them from evolution to use in evolution with: http://email.about.com/cs/evolutiontips/qt/et110103.htm
[16:06] <etotheipi> I'll go try that now; thanks.
[16:06] <hybridvigour> hi there everyone, could anyone council me as to whether or not i can install edubuntu 10
[16:06] <Beyecixramd> hybridvigour: why not?
[16:07] <hybridvigour> sorry i hit enter too fast
[16:07] <karthee> Anybody's got webcam working on flash in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[16:07] <hybridvigour> i want to know if i can install edubuntu 10.04 over ubuntu 9.04?
[16:07] <Beyecixramd> hybridvigour: it should be possible
[16:07] <bazhang> hybridvigour, sure you can; edubuntu-desktop package
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> papcy: you need to find a plugin or menu item to export to pst
[16:07] <Beyecixramd> hybridvigour: upgrade, then install edubuntu-desktop
[16:08] <Beyecixramd> hybridvigour: either that, or save yor /home/ and then do a clean install
[16:08] <MaRk-I> karbo: , Beyecixramd gave you another option on how to do it
[16:08] <Beyecixramd> hybridvigour: after which you can restore your /home/
[16:08] <gaussfrank> You can download by axel at higher speed
[16:08] <MaRk-I> karbo: oops sorry wrong nick
[16:08] <econdudeawesome> Is the appropriate place to ask how to set up emacs to work as an IDE for python? I'm not sure if its automatic through Ubuntu's repos or not

[16:11] <hybridvigour> Beyecixramd: thank you
[16:11] <bellman> in fullscreen VLC, my mouse cursor flickers instead of going away. in fullscreen totem, the bottom bar never hides.  could this be because of xinerama?
[16:11] <hybridvigour> bazhang: thanks to you
[16:11] <econdudeawesome> ActionParsnip no, I set up auctex just fine. Are you being snarky? :-)
[16:11] <bazhang> hybridvigour, welcome
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> econdudeawesome: not at all :) #latex is specific for latex so they may be able to identify what you need
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> bellman: you could try not using it and testing
[16:12] <econdudeawesome> ActionParsnip okay. I was actually asking about setting up emacs as a python ide

[16:13] <sreeju> what is problem
[16:13] <mrcan> pLr i ll pm
[16:13] <sreeju> please help me
[16:14] <VCoolio> sreeju: do you have compositing enabled?
[16:14] <Beyecixramd> what is that?!
[16:14] <coz_> netsplit
[16:14] <theadmin> I noticed a weird issue, NetworkManager keeps claiming that all connections have been last used "Never"
[16:14] <Beyecixramd> god...
[16:14] <coz_> !netsplit
[16:14] <econdudeawesome> coz_ I used to see those in the 90's--IRC still hasn't fixed the netsplit problem?
[16:14] <mrcan> i compiled it and transfered to board. when try execute it (./helloworld) it says helloworld: no found
[16:14] <sreeju> sorry what is compositing?
[16:14] <coz_> econdudeawesome,  apparenlty not :)
[16:14] <theadmin> sreeju: Visual effects
[16:14] <fruitbag> Are USB memory sticks LBA-addresable?
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> econdudeawesome: irc and tcp are still pretty much as they were
[16:15] <sreeju> how to enable it?
[16:15] <Beyecixramd> sreeju: Compiz, transparent title bars, and effects
[16:15] <theadmin> mrcan: Is the file executable? Are you in same folder as file? Is the file there?
[16:15] <tsimpson> coz_, econdudeawesome: it's technically not a netsplit, one of the ircd servers has been shut down
[16:15] <Beyecixramd> sreeju: right click on the desktop, change wallpaper
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> sreeju: it will be enabled automagically when you get 3D accelleration enabled
[16:15] <Beyecixramd> sreeju: then head to the effects tab, and click "normal" or "extra", as you like
[16:15] <econdudeawesome> ActionParsnip interesting. I would imagine some kind of redundancy would be built in, which dual connections
[16:15] <coz_> tsimpson,  ah  understood...but  nearly the same result :)
[16:15] <VCoolio> sreeju: it's what enabled transparency and stuff; you need it for glx dock; either enable visual effects in the appearance settings, or try if metacity's compositing option is enough (launch gconf-editor, search apps>metacity then the composite option)
[16:16] <Beyecixramd> ActionParsnip: not in my rig, after installing the official nVidia drivers, tho...
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> econdudeawesome: put it to the guys in #freenode
[16:16] <jxajro_> Alo bom dia a todos!
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> Beyecixramd: then you need to dig around as to why the driver isnt being enabled. You can look i /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:17] <etotheipi> hmmm. I tried using ddrescue (via gddrescue package), but it induces exactly the same behaviour in the hard disk that dd does: it whirrs intensely every few seconds, preventing any ctrl+c interrupts from reaching the program
[16:17] <karthee> hi is it possible to install flash 10 on ubuntu 10.04 ..64 bit processor ? has anybody done that ??
[16:17] <Beyecixramd> ActionParsnip: , no, no, don't worry, i enabled it manually
[16:17] <Tizemt> scriptwarlock:
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> Beyecixramd: good enough :)
[16:17] <Beyecixramd> karthee: you need to wrap the 32 bit version
[16:17] <jxajro_> Por favor, como posso alterar uma linha estranha que está num arquivo etc apt sources.list?
[16:17] <coz_> karthee,  did you look in synaptic for ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[16:17] <Beyecixramd> jxajro_: english only channel, thanks
[16:17] <jxajro_> ops....sorry
[16:17] <Beyecixramd> !ubuntu-it
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> etotheipi: then i'd grab the ultimate boot cd and test the drive with the manufacturers tool, make sure all is well with te drive mechanically
[16:18] <jxajro_> sorry..sorry
[16:18] <coz_> Beyecixramd,  I believe that is spanish
[16:18] <karthee> Beyecixramd: wrap the 32 bit version  .. how do I do that please ?
[16:18] <MaRk-I> !pt | jxajro_
[16:18] <pLr> karthee: yes it is possible
[16:18] <Beyecixramd> !italian

[16:18] <ACameron> Can somebody give me a hand with a simple sed expression? I'm trying to filter out only the PID from a line output from ps.
[16:18] <Daekdroom> That is portuguese
[16:18] <coz_> Beyecixramd,   i am italian and a few words look very spanish :)
[16:18] <pLr> ACameron: ok
[16:18] <coz_> no biggie either way
[16:18] <karthee> pLr: ubuntu software center says that its not there for 64 bit ... is it so ?
[16:19] <Beyecixramd> portugese then xD
[16:19] <coz_> Beyecixramd,   ah  didnt think of that :)
[16:19] <ACameron> pLr: Currently I'm doing "$ ps -e | grep processname | sed 's/^ \([0-9]+\).*/\1/'"
[16:19] <karthee> Beyecixramd: How do i wrap the 32 bit version  Flash  ?
[16:19] <Beyecixramd> !portuguese
[16:19] <Beyecixramd> karthee: oh sorry, wait a second please
[16:19] <ACameron> pLr: Problem is, that spits out the same thing as if I hadn't included the sed command.  It doesn't seem to be performing the replacement, assuming I have my regex correct.
[16:19] <karthee> Beyecixramd: sure no problem ..
[16:19] <pLr> karthee: search google for ubuntu 64bit flash there are many how-to guides or maybe someone else has time to help u
[16:19] <Beyecixramd> karthee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1329337
[16:20] <pLr> ACameron: paste it

[16:20] <bellman> by default, in my 2monitor setup, there are the usual top & bottom gnome panels on screen1  and no panels on screen2.  can i add a 3rd gnomepanel  for the 2nd screen?

[16:21] <sreeju> but in my system i cant enable visual effects
[16:21] <Tizemt> has somebody saw mr "scriptwarlock" ?
[16:21] <Beyecixramd> sreeju: why exactly?
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> ACameron: yeah, try not to reinvent the wheel, slows you down
[16:21] <karthee> Beyecixramd: okay .. I ll use that ..
[16:21] <Beyecixramd> sreeju: does it give an error or something?
[16:22] <Danny2010> hello ;)
[16:22] <Beyecixramd> karthee: gnash is the FLOSS counterpart to flash... i don't recommend it unless you REALLY love open source, it's a bit buggy sometimes
[16:22] <ACameron> ActionParsnip: Hm, pidof doesn't actually find the process, possibly because it only shows up in ps if I use -e

[16:23] <karthee> Beyecixramd: thanks for sharing that ..
[16:23] <MaRk-I> theadmin: yes or md5sum /dev/cdromX
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: CDs are dog slow so it'll take a while
[16:23] <sreeju> when i try to enable ,it checks for drivers but then says cannot load visual effects to desktop
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> sreeju: what video chip?
[16:24]  * Tizemt is away: I'm busy, be right back
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> !away > Tizemt
[16:25] <BluesKaj> karthee, gnsh used to be the alternative to buggy flash installs til flashplugin-nonfree was developed IIRC
[16:25]  * Tizemt is back (gone 00:00:46)
[16:25] <sreeju> sorry that i dont know
[16:25] <BluesKaj> err gnash

[16:25] <Danny2010> Hello, I'm looking for a distro that has all the security of Linux, which has no hardware problems and if possible, to disable 'gnome' and start the programs with the console, which is light is really what I seek
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: md5sum doesn't
[16:25] <Beyecixramd> Danny2010: sounds like RHEL
[16:26] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Well when I md5sum a file it usually is quick
[16:26] <Beyecixramd> Danny2010: CentOS in the free (no money) version
[16:26] <Beyecixramd> Danny2010: or Debian
[16:26] <theadmin> I assume there is no need to verify an ISO downloaded trough a torrent, right? (that is... Since it usually does that itself.
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: yes because its on your HDD which is WAYYY faster than slow CDs. Ever installed an OS from a drive rather than a CD, makes it waaay faster
[16:26] <Flats> Hello, Fairly new at Linux. When I go into printing|add|printer then choose network, I put it the IP of my network printer, it finds the port 9100 but then it asks for a username and password. Any idea why?
[16:26] <karthee> BluesKaj: is gnash is still available ?
[16:26] <daddysmurf> Danny2010, Beyecixramd: I've used centos, ubuntu, and a few others for servers, and ubuntu server is my fav
[16:26] <Flats> sorry Ubuntu 10.04
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> Danny2010: lubuntu   all linux based OSes will have the same hardware woes as they are the same OS, Linux. You could try BSD
[16:27] <sreeju> where to run it
[16:27] <Beyecixramd> karthee: yes, and still being developed
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> sreeju: in a terminal
[16:27] <Beyecixramd> daddysmurf: that's the good about Linux, plenty of choices, to each his own ^^
[16:27] <daddysmurf> Beyecixramd: yes, definately

[16:29] <Danny2010> thank you to all :D
[16:29] <BluesKaj> karthee, yes it is
[16:29] <sreeju> oh, thanks for your answer

[16:30] <schproodle> Attempt to add ide hd:  MB has one ide cable (channels #1 and #2) and two sata connections. System / is on sata mounted as /dev/sda1 and the second sata is mounted as /dev/sdb1.  When I added an ide drive, the sata  / system was then called /dev/sdb1 and the other sata got bumped up to sdc1, which was not mounted since it was not in /etc/fstab..  Rebooting put me into manual rescue mode as I had fdisk'ed the additional ide and had not
[16:30] <schproodle>  yet put a file system on it -- system could not check the new "/dev/sda1". Yikes!  I halted the system and disabled the ide hdd.  I have added drives to systems before but this MB setup makes this tricky.  I want to have an auxillary ide drive and a cdrom on the ide connection and the two sata drives -- / system and auxillary.

[16:30] <rocket16> Neither the Pidgin music tracker plugin works for Exaile, not does the Exaile current song plugin. How to set current song as status in Pidgin, when playing in exaile?
[16:31] <rocket16> It works nicely in Rhythmbox, but I prefer Exaile.
[16:31] <hotfloppy> schproodle: try mount thru their uuid..
[16:32] <karthee> BluesKaj: Okay .. I ll try to install that .. thanks for that info .. I never knew that ..
[16:33] <BluesKaj> karthee, it can be buggy, I never had much luck with it.
[16:33] <Thijs> Hi. Question.. Ubuntu doesn't let me connect from the internet, however if i connect from a server within the network it works properly. The server however hosts a website which is properly functional.. =/ Any tips on how to fix this? I don't know where to start tackeling this problem, i've tried editing the /etc/hosts file, but no effect...
[16:33] <schproodle> hotfloppy: Then I must convert /etc/fstab to UUID eh?  I read up a little on UUID but I don't see how it fixes the problem yet.
[16:33] <karthee> BluesKaj:  anywez .. its not going to ruin anything .. ll be a good experience with something new for me :-) ..
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Thijs: change your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf   to 8.8.8.8    and 8.8.4.4    does it work ok then?
[16:34] <karthee> BluesKaj:  is it better to remove the existing flash and install the gnash ? or just installing gnash will do ??
[16:35] <Flats> Hello, Fairly new at Linux. When I go into printing|add|printer then choose network, I put it the IP of my network printer, it finds the port 9100 but then it asks for a username and password. Any idea why?
[16:35] <racethesunlive> schproodle: would having the ide in slave mode instead of master have any effect?
[16:35] <hotfloppy> schproodle: afaik, those uuid is fixed.. so, no matter how many drives you add in the future, theres no more issue with '/dev/sda' change to '/dev/sdb'
[16:35] <Thijs> ActionParsnip: Te nameserver is some kind of IP adress, I think it is from the colocator..
[16:35] <hotfloppy> schproodle: to check your drives uuid, issue 'sudo blkid'
[16:35] <Thijs> ActionParsnip: I dare not to change that, you think i should?
[16:35] <BluesKaj> dunno karthee , it's not something I recommend ...I was merely commenting about gnash , not telling you to install it.
[16:35] <bourke> hi, could someone help me, compiz is putting shadows on my menu bars in xfce  (when I mouse over them it disappears) anyone know what plugin might be  causing this?
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> Thijs: the file is generated at boot by network manager so if you reboot it will go back to how it was
[16:36] <karthee> BluesKaj:  its not going to burst my laptop right ?
[16:36] <BluesKaj> karthee, dunno, never used it on mine
[16:36] <hv> how can I change X11 cursor theme completely?  I tried changing it through System > Preferences > Appearance > Theme > Customize > Pointer, but it does not get changed for all applications and places. Do I need to reboot a machine to get the pointer changed?
[16:37] <schproodle> hotfloppy, OK. So , I must convert /etc/fstab with UUID lables.  Is that correct?
[16:37] <karthee> BluesKaj:  com'on ..  okay just pray for me that my laptop shouldnt get blown if I install gnash ..
[16:37] <Thijs> ActionParsnip: ah, all right, so just change it to 8.8.8.8 ?
[16:37] <dholbach> Day 4 of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloper Week starts in 23 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom
[16:37] <BluesKaj> karthee, don't blame me if it does :)
[16:37] <hotfloppy> schproodle: yeap.. just change the '/dev/sdN' in your fstab to their correspond uuid..
[16:38] <red2kic> dholbach: The link? "This page does not exist yet"
[16:38] <schproodle> racethesunlive, I don't think that would help.  The BIOS is showing the ide channe and two satas as 1,2,3,4 respectively.
[16:38] <hv> For instance, could you try chaning the cursor theme, resize a window, and see if the new cursor theme is used for the "resize" action?
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> Thijs: yes, then save the file, close the editor then close all browsers and retry the web

[16:38] <m7stic> i have been searching google, but i think my search terms suck on this. how do you recursively delete files that are appended with a string such as *($).$$$ ? obviously this wont work with rm in bash.
[16:39] <karthee> BluesKaj: Noooooo ....  you are going to be responsible ..  :-D
[16:39] <BluesKaj> karthee, if you are having probs with flash , it's probly due to not having flashplugin-nonfree
[16:39] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, No I haven't. I have IRC, and a spam-filter filtering out messages like yours. ;-)
[16:39] <schproodle> hotfloppy: Thanks I will try that.  What danger is there to screwing up the system?  And what about grub and such?
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> mr_lou: its all over the place, its a massive deal and there are hoe to's galore
[16:40] <mr_lou> My shrink keep telling me to get a social life, but everytime I try to chat people yell at me and send me to google.....   nobody likes me.

[16:40] <schproodle> hotfloppy, You believe the UUID persists no matter what the BIOS assignments.  Is that right?
[16:40] <jpds> mr_lou: #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:40] <hotfloppy> schproodle: no danger at all, IMHO.. changing /dev/sdN to their UUID will not interfere with grub and such, also IMHO..

[16:41] <hotfloppy> schproodle: afaik, yeap.. thats why they called it unique id..
[16:41] <karthee> BluesKaj:  you ran that command to make ubottu answer me ??
[16:41] <schproodle> hotfloppy, This is all about /etc/fstab exclusively then.

[16:41] <BluesKaj> karthee, yes
[16:42] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, It's done already.
[16:42] <karthee> BluesKaj:  wow ..
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> mr_lou: see how many hits you get, its a lot isnt it, if you'd search youd have found them
[16:42] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, Whoever made the decision of moving them to the left must have wanted chaos.
[16:42] <mobal> hi
[16:42] <schproodle> hotfloppy, That is what I thought it meant too.  I am reassured then, thanks to you.
[16:42] <vikas> Dr_Willis, can u help me
[16:42] <hotfloppy> schproodle: IMHO, yes it is.
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> mr_lou: why, both sides are equally valid
[16:43] <mr_lou> I'm not discussing that.
[16:43] <BluesKaj> karthee, anyone can run factoids if they're in the database
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> mr_lou: you can even have it on both sides

[16:44] <daddysmurf> I seriously hate the gui installer for ubuntu 10.04...
[16:44] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, Can you also tell me how to get S-AMR codec support in Kdenlive then? :-P I finally got it in Movie Player but upgrading from Karmic to Lucid. But I need it in Kdenlive too. This time I googled first, and have been reading a thread, but I can't believe it's that difficult.
[16:44] <tsolox> why does ubuntu10.04 boot sooo much slower than the previous versions like 9.04...?
[16:44] <tsolox> i meant, the liveCD
[16:44] <knightstalker> Spasysheep,I looked in language support,everything about Persian except Translations are installed,I just logged out and logged in,do I also need to restart?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> mr_lou: have you install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:45] <kk9822> hi
[16:45] <vikas> meant, the liveCD
 Spasysheep,I looked in language sup
[16:45] <lucenut_> What do I have to do to get my broadcom wireless to work on my HP ZD7000 notebook with 10.0.4?
[16:45] <daddysmurf> tsolox: if you were in windows, I'd tell you to check what's starting at boot time
[16:45] <Spasysheep> knightstalker: i don't think you should have to, but try it
[16:45] <daddysmurf> tsolox: so check what's starting at boot time
[16:45] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, Well, before the upgrade. Dunno if it's been removed during upgrade. But I think I have, since it works in Movie Player. I installed the medibuntu packages as well.
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> mr_lou: also: sudo apt-get install amrnb
[16:45] <knightstalker> vikas?
[16:45] <vikas> sorry
[16:45] <lucenut_> I have it plugged into a cabled network connection now.
[16:45] <knightstalker> lol
[16:45] <vikas> ubuntu boot in and it stop at checking battry and then retry 5 times and tell me to login go in command line mode and not starting gdm HELP
[16:46] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, amrnb is already the newest version
[16:46] <alextest> hi
[16:46] <schproodle> hotfloppy, Like learning a new language.  IMHO, if you were off-base someone would probably have jumped on it by now -- from my past experience.  I think it is a good Idea to add that "IMHO" -- free advice and all eh? :)
[16:46] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, It's a tricky area. No worries. I'
[16:46] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, I'll figure it out later.
[16:46] <knightstalker> okay,going for Restart =(
[16:46] <was> Does anyone know when the Kernel update will be coming out?
[16:46] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, But it's definitely a challenge, if you miss those. :-P
[16:46] <laieman> Hi. I'm thinking of either use NTFS or ext3 on spare disk - but is there some big disavantages by using ntfs rather than ext3? (I mainly want to use NTFS so I can read it from my dualboot Windows)
[16:47] <theadmin> gah great. Disc burning failed (md5sum wrong) and it was my last empty cd.
[16:47] <kk9822> can any one give me how to activate ulitmate edition from ubuntu 10.04
[16:47] <Spasysheep> will setting a partition that has data in it as the encrypted home partition during install destroy the data?
[16:47] <theadmin> kk9822: Activate?
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> mr_lou: get them every day :)
[16:47] <kk9822> how
[16:47] <daddysmurf> was: today if you get it from the git repo
[16:47] <Spasysheep> kk9822: if you're talking about activating windows from linux, you can't

[16:47] <was> daddysmurf, which one is coming today?
[16:48] <kk9822> no i want to install ue which is toooo good
[16:48] <BluesKaj> theadmin, yeah i ran a md5 on my last live cd, but i took a chance and it installed just fine.
[16:48] <Spasysheep> kk9822: what's ue?
[16:48] <daddysmurf> was: they get new stuff daily in the source repo, you should be able to goto kernel.org and download your own copy
[16:48] <kk9822> ultimate edition
[16:48] <luca__> quit
[16:49] <theadmin> no, kk9822 is talking about Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, which I call "bloatbuntu"
[16:49] <was> daddysmurf, the problem is I don't know how to install
[16:49] <kk9822> why
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> !ultimate | kk9822
[16:49] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, Yea, I could also convert the files on the girlfriends windoze pc... but then she'd just mock me.
[16:49] <kk9822> is it really bloating
[16:49] <daddysmurf> was: probably ought to stay away from it then... it will make your box go bye bye for a long time
[16:49] <blueysak> Can anyone help me with a graphics card problem?
[16:49] <theadmin> kk9822: This will give you something alike with Ultimate: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop
[16:49] <daddysmurf> was: short of that, you got me beat :)
[16:49] <laieman> Hi. I'm thinking of either use NTFS or ext3 on spare disk - but is there some big disavantages by using ntfs rather than ext3? (I mainly want to use NTFS so I can read it from my dualboot Windows)
[16:50] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, We have at least 1 friendly fight about windows vs linux every day. ;-)
[16:50] <Spasysheep> theadmin: I assume that's ubuntu with a lot of pointless shiny stuff added?
[16:50] <theadmin> Spasysheep: 3 desktops :/
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> mr_lou: just tell them "every OS sucks"
[16:50] <was> daddysmurf, are they gonna send a new kernel with the regular updates anytime soon?
[16:50] <blueysak> http://webchat.freenode.net/
[16:50] <Spasysheep> theadmin: gnome, kde, xfce? all on one system? why?
[16:50] <kk9822> no it has lot of stuff inside
[16:50] <daddysmurf> was: no idea, I only update once a millenium anyway
[16:50] <mr_lou> ActionParsnip, Well I don't think so. Never been so happy with a OS since I switched to Ubuntu. Been on Windows for years, and then Arch Linux for a while.
[16:51] <theadmin> Spasysheep: I didn't make it - so I know not.
[16:51] <daddysmurf> Spasysheep: extremist redundancy
[16:51] <kk9822> ok thanks
[16:51] <kk9822> bye
[16:51] <frxstrem> is it possible to take a screenshot through the command line?
[16:51] <was> daddysmurf, thank you anyways :)
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> mr_lou: both have advantages and disadvantages, hence they are all awesome and all suck
[16:51] <was> Does anyone else know if they are gonna send a new kernel with the regular updates anytime soon?
[16:52] <VCoolio> laieman: I had some high cpu issues while writing to ntfs, maybe it's ok for you though; if you want it accessible from windows ntfs is the way to go
[16:52] <nicofs> Can anyone help me fix my 3g modem? it's there and recognized as such, i can create a connection. when i try to connect the first time - it shows the connecting-icon for a few seconds and then goes to "Disconnected". If i retry after that it goes to "Disconnected" right away. If i try to connect via wvdial i get "invalid dial command". The SIM has no PIN, i have reception and the problem persists with various providers. I was able to con
[16:52] <laieman> VCoolio: Ok, thanks.
[16:53] <Gintulis> why my ubuntu is faster then windows 7?
[16:53] <BluesKaj> laieman, I like your logic ...accessing ntfs with linux is easier than the reverse , so I must admit if you need windows access to the drive , ntfs would be easier all around , except for securuity from viruses etc.
[16:53] <daddysmurf> Gintulis: less bloat?
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Gintulis: its lighter
[16:53] <VCoolio> frxstrem: yes, imagemagick can do it
[16:53] <red2kic> Gintulis: It is awesome.
[16:53] <v0v04ka> all:
[16:53] <Oer> Gintulis maybe because you need no antivirus
[16:54] <daddysmurf> I wish ubuntu would use the conf.d concept from gentoo...
[16:54] <frxstrem> VCoolio: okay, thx :P
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> Gintulis: run: df -h    see how much space is used compared to your crappy windows install
[16:55] <aeon-ltd> daddysmurf: i wish documentation of new stuff wouldn't take so long, i mean arch and other semi bleeding edge distros are at least 4-5 versions ahead of ubuntu
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> Gintulis: remember ubuntu comes with a full office suite and burning app (and optional codecs) by default, Windows cannot play DVDs and other stuff without paying out for software'
[16:56] <daddysmurf> aeon-ltd: have you ever done documentation? it sucks...
[16:56] <kochii> hi all, i have a lenovo SL400. I wanted to install ubuntu but I couldn't find some of the lenovo products for ubuntu (power manager etc)
[16:56] <VCoolio> frxstrem: install imagemagick, then 'man import'
[16:56] <astrojp> I need some help. I just purchased a new monitor 'View Sonic VG2330wm'. It's only giving me 1024x768. I know it'll give me a much higher resolution than that. How do I fix this?
[16:56] <frxstrem> VCoolio: okay :)
[16:56] <daddysmurf> ActionParsnip: not true, xp, and wmp11 will play dvd's just fine
[16:56] <aeon-ltd> daddysmurf: no but support isn't much better considering most people who are new to ubuntu complain on the forums before even consulting man pages or the specifically written ubuntu wiki
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> daddysmurf: my XP didnt, had to slam in WinDVD for it to read them or it complained about missing codecs
[16:57] <daddysmurf> ActionParsnip: additionally, it has a fine set of office tools, such as notepad and calculator
[16:57] <hotfloppy> ActionParsnip: yeah.. ubuntu rox !
[16:57] <daddysmurf> ActionParsnip: you did something wrong :)
[16:57] <Spasysheep> will setting a partition that has data in it as the encrypted home partition during install destroy the data?
[16:57] <daddysmurf> I've never had dvd playing software
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> daddysmurf: notepad is slightly lacking compared to openoffice or even abiword
[16:58] <fumanchu182>  hmm how do you type an umlaut in gnome?

[18:00] <crab234> Nis2k: eek, have no idea what that means :p

[18:00] <Nis2k> h00k it says to run fsck manually but still doesnt work
[18:01] <DJJeff> ucode5.fw missing error - ubuntu 10.04
[18:01] <Nis2k> crab234 do u know any other command?
[18:01] <DJJeff> Live CD during boot
[18:02] <totaam> dr3mro: looks like firewire to me
[18:03] <crab234> Nis2k: not really... sorry. What happens when you run fsck?
[18:03] <dr3mro> totaam, no i don't have firewire .. its old laptop but whay i loss 17 sec in my boot waiting to create the swap ???
[18:03] <Nis2k> crab234 gives me an error
[18:03] <webPragmatist> under /etc/default/rsync what's yalls default RSYNC_ENABLE
[18:03] <crab234> Nis2k: what is the error?
[18:04] <dr3mro> totaam, sometimes the udev line comes first before the swap
[18:04] <webPragmatist> is it FALSE or TRUE ?
[18:04] <Nis2k> crab234 then i tried to run fsck from a live cd but it only tells me the version of ubuntu
[18:04] <pLr> Nis2k: what partition is your hd?
[18:04] <bastid_raZor> webPragmatist: mine is false.
[18:04] <N0way> Is there a way to replace network-manager ?
[18:04] <webPragmatist> bastid_raZor: thanks
[18:05] <Spaztic_One> OK, so I have been having issues with my status/notification icons being junked up, screen shot here: http://tinyurl.com/panelerror The icons are locked in place, and things still shift in front of each other. What can I do to remedy this?
[18:05] <pLr> Nis2k: partition type*
[18:05] <Nis2k> plr what do u mean what partition? like what sda?
[18:05] <bastid_raZor> N0way: you could install wicd
[18:05] <experiMENTAL> problem not solved, plz. black screen with white flashing stripes up to half of the screen preceded by a message "checking battery state... [OK]": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531543
[18:05] <totaam> dr3mro: looks like it's struggling to enumerate disks and find your swap and partitions
[18:05] <Nis2k> pLr ext3
[18:05] <N0way> Is it possible to have wicd and network-manager in the same time (installed not used) ?
[18:05] <pLr> Nis2k: then you need to use fsck on your device.. what is the output?
[18:05] <Nis2k> pLr error
[18:05] <pLr> Nis2k: paste
[18:06] <dr3mro> totaam, i can assure you that my disks are ok and are partitioned during ubuntu install ... and checked for error every while and performance is good but the boot takes alot of time up to one minute and in 9.10 it was only 26 seconds
[18:06] <Nis2k> pLr cant paste i can only see that while booting and i cant use irssi on the terminal im on windows atm,
[18:07] <Nis2k> pLr ill write it down and then come back here..
[18:07] <Nis2k> pLr it will only take me 5 mins can u wait for me?
[18:07] <Prasoon> what is the command to update ubuntu from terminal
[18:08] <pLr> Nis2k: ok do that but you should have a 2nd machine to do this
[18:08] <erUSUL> Prasoon: do-release-upgrade ?
[18:08] <pLr> Nis2k: or a live environment to chat and check the disk
[18:08] <bastid_raZor> Prasoon: update as in the packages or distrobution version?
[18:08] <racethesunlive> Prasoon: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:08] <totaam> dr3mro: I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with your paritionning, just that "system struggling to enumerate disks" this is generally the cause near that location in the boot sequence
[18:08] <Nis2k> pLr yeah i hope i had 2 or more but i dont :(
[18:08] <Nis2k> pLr brb
[18:08] <pLr> Nis2k: wait..
[18:08] <Prasoon> yeah sudo apt-get update is what i wanted ...thanks
[18:09] <pLr> lol
[18:09] <racethesunlive> Prasoon: that will upgrade all packages that have possible updates
[18:09] <dr3mro> totaam, so what to do ?
[18:09] <bastid_raZor> Prasoon: that just updates the package list.. sudo apt-get upgrade will do the actual updating
[18:10] <totaam> dr3mo: not sure, maybe boot off usb stick or cdrom and try to see how quickly those systems mount your disks
[18:10] <lucenut_> Does ubuntu have a remote help type feature?

[18:17] <P-Nuts> Hello.  Is there a way to make Ubuntu ignore a hard disk on bootup?  The built in SSD on my Eee has died, and there's no way to disable it in the BIOS.  Consequently, several pages of errors scroll past when I start the machine.  Some sort of options to add to the GRUB perhaps?

[18:20] <P-Nuts> Kahlua: no, the broken partition isn't in fstab
[18:20] <Kahlua> P-Nuts: What was the file system of that SSD before it dide?
[18:20] <P-Nuts> erUSUL: the working SSD is SATA, I think the broken onboard one is IDE
[18:20] <Kahlua> *died
[18:21] <P-Nuts> Kahlua: ext3 I think
[18:21] <erUSUL> P-Nuts: anyway you may be able to tell libata to ignore the specific sata port

[18:25] <coz_> NicholasExpositi,  did you reboot and try again?
[18:25] <NicholasExpositi> Several times
[18:25] <coz_> NicholasExpositi,  so what state is it in now?
[18:25] <P-Nuts> Kahlua: the onboard one originally came up in Ubuntu as /dev/sda, and then there was a secondary removable SSD that came up as /dev/sdb.  When the onboard one failed, I discarded the secondary one (which was too slow to use as a main partition, and bought a faster SATA SSD.  Because the Eee thinks SATA > IDE, now the fast SATA replacement comes up as /dev/sda, and the broken one as /dev/sdb
[18:26] <kjele> yaaar: check in /var/lib/dpkg/status

[19:01] <darkdragon> user **
[19:01] <ircipimp> hi
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> !adduser
[19:02] <darkdragon> ActionParsnip I know how to add user, but in Ubuntu server it tells me that it only allows two users
[19:02] <darkdragon> I have a user account already I am trying to add another one.
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> darkdragon: you can have as many as you wish
[19:03] <erUSUL> darkdragon: what is the exact error message when you use adduser?
[19:03] <darkdragon> why is it telling me that I can only add two then..
[19:03] <darkdragon> while in root.
[19:04] <erUSUL> darkdragon: show us the exact error message when you do, « sudo adduser newusername »
[19:04] <darthganesh_> what the error "failed to open pty" means?
[19:04] <tyrosine> it can't open pty
[19:04] <darthganesh_> tyrosine: what is pty
[19:05] <darkdragon> nvm, I see it now.. I am use to when you type in adduser the prompt comes up. I had to type the name after.. My fault.
[19:05] <erUSUL> darkdragon: exactly that unable to open /dev/pts/*
[19:05] <darkdragon> Thanks again.
[19:05] <erUSUL> darkdragon: no problem; each distro has its own adduser programs some are interactive. debian's/ubuntu's is not

[19:10] <_jesse_> hi all, I turned on my netbook this morning and now it says that my "Networking is disabled"  and my wlan0 is missing from ifconfig -a; any idea where I should start looking?
[19:10] <lvh> I'm an ex debian user so I know about  Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.2:3142/";
[19:10] <guntbert> nox
[19:10] <lvh> I was just wondering if that's the right thing to do or if there's some fancy gui tool i ought to be using
[19:10] <jpds> lvh: Pop it into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ ?
[19:11] <lvh> jpds: Yeah.
[19:11] <lvh> Is that okay?
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> lvh: i think theres one in preferences, I always use the export
[19:11] <jpds> Not sure what Synaptic does.
[19:12] <lvh> apparently I can't use ipv6 addresses in synaptic
[19:12] <erUSUL> _jesse_: paste « sudo rfkill list »
[19:13] <darthganesh_> What is pty? What are the possible reasons for error "failed to open pty"?
[19:13] <ManDay> after i installed a package with GDEBI - can I also uninstall it (with GDEBI) ?
[19:14] <_jesse_> erUSUL: well I can't really paste it since I don't have internet on that computer, but it just has blutooth listed as not soft nor hard blocked
[19:14] <erUSUL> darthganesh_: is at boot time ?
[19:14] <erUSUL> _jesse_: only bluetooth? maybe wifi is disabled in bios? via some button/switch in the laptop ?
[19:15] <jshriver42> hi
[19:15] <darthganesh_> erUSUL: No I am trying run application named sis from its binary file.
[19:15] <jshriver42> Anyone know if the 64bit version will work with the Intel i3?  when i went to download it, it said AMD
[19:15] <trism> ManDay: I believe gdebi is install only, just remove it with apt as usual
[19:16] <ManDay> thanks trism
[19:16] <_jesse_> erUSUL: there is a button for it, but nothing happens when I hit it (i.e. no change to ifconfig)
[19:16] <_jesse_> erUSUL: I'll check the BIOS, but I hadn't touched that
[19:17] <ubuntu_> So if ntfs-3g is not recognizing my NTFS, what shall I do?
[19:17] <NightKhaos|iOS4> jshriver42: legacy version nameing. x86_64 is called amd64 as amd were the first to release an x86 process with 64bit extensions
[19:17] <_jesse_> erUSUL: wlan is listed as enabled in the bios
[19:17] <erUSUL> _jesse_: maybe the wifi is a pciexpress card and it got loose in the slot? just shooting in the dark
[19:18] <jshriver42> so thats a yes? hehe overall do you recommend using it over 32bit ? this is my furst 64bit machine and plan to write 64bit code for it
[19:18] <TNSe> hmm
[19:18] <TNSe> So if ntfs-3g is not recognizing my NTFS, what shall I do?
[19:18] <_jesse_> erUSUL: it's a netbook, do you think that might still be an issue?
[19:18] <k1ng> can anyone tell me where to get this theme? http://djabytown.deviantart.com/art/ThaImpact-VS-119907314?offset=40#comments
[19:18] <nipas> Hello! I have some flac music files 24bit-96khz. Can ubuntu play them at full quality?
[19:18] <LoRez> k1ng: can you try not spamming?
[19:19] <nicofs> pradeep: still with me, or shall i ask again?
[19:19] <pradeep> yes
[19:19] <pradeep> nicofs, am here
[19:19] <pradeep> i ask a question
[19:19] <erUSUL> _jesse_: not sure. does the wifi card appear in « lspci  » ?
[19:20] <alien_ness> k1ng: look at gnome-look.org
[19:20] <_jesse_> erUSUL: hold on, I booted up windows to see if it sees the card, it does and connects fine, I'll boot back into ubuntu
[19:21] <nipas> I didn't manage to configure such thing...
[19:21] <nipas> So?
[19:21] <nicofs> pradeep: huawei EM770W, and it worked before...
[19:22] <nipas> Anyone to help me please? :D
[19:22] <_jesse_> erUSUL: yeah it's listed, RaLink RT2860
[19:22] <almoxarifado> ALQUEM ABLAS PORTUGUES
[19:22] <oCean_> !pt | almoxarifado
[19:23] <nipas> Does ubuntu natively play audio files at 24 bits by default?
[19:23] <erUSUL> _jesse_: « lsmod | grep rt2 » shows output ?
[19:24] <lvh> nipas: depends on the audio file
[19:24] <_jesse_> erUSUL: wait... no wlan0 is showing up in ifconfig, but it still says networking is disabled
[19:24] <nipas> Its flac
[19:24] <_jesse_> erUSUL: I'll try lsmod
[19:25] <nipas> Ivh: Its flac 24bit - 96KHZ
[19:25] <sysRPL> hello
[19:25] <Buttons840> when i do "export PYTHONPATH=/usr/shared/pyshared/" and then type $PYTHONPATH bash presents an error saying "/usr/shared/pyshared/: is a directory"
[19:25] <sysRPL> does anyone here use imdb.com? it seems their latest website change forgot a key feature ... NO MORE SEARCHING -> http://imdb.com
[19:25] <Pondera> !welcome SysRPL
[19:26] <_jesse_> erUSUL: has two lines: rt2860sta          488190        1     and    crc_ccitt            1343     1     rt2860sta
[19:26] <Pondera> !hello sysrpl
[19:26] <erUSUL> _jesse_: so the driver is loaded ...
[19:26] <oCean_> Buttons840: yes, you should try echo $whatevervariable
[19:26] <_jesse_> erUSUL: appears so
[19:26] <oCean_> Buttons840: so: echo $PYTHONPATH
[19:26] <nipas> Ivh: It plays de pending the file quality?
[19:27] <erUSUL> _jesse_: do « sudo modprobe -r rt2860sta && sudo modprobe rt2860sta » then do « dmesg | tail -n25 » see if any errors stand out
[19:27] <oCean_> Buttons840: otherwise you're just trying to execute whatever is inside $thisvariable
[19:27] <nipas> Sorry for my English:D . It only depends on the audio file quality?
[19:27] <Buttons840> oCean_: ok, i was confused becase simply typing $PATH shows the path properly
[19:27] <nipas> Or Do I have to configure ubuntu?
[19:28] <nipas> I just wanna know if audio files play in maximum quality that the file offers
[19:28] <hypn0> nipas, audio and ubuntu r different
[19:28] <oCean_> Buttons840: I guess that is a bash builtin? Not sure..
[19:28] <darthganesh_> erUSUL: No I am trying run application named sis from its binary file.
[19:28] <erUSUL> nipas: if your hardware supports it ...
[19:28] <nipas> yes
[19:28] <nipas> it supports
[19:28] <nipas> it
[19:29] <nipas> but the audio driver?
[19:29] <erUSUL> darthganesh_: yes; i read it. unfortunetly i do not know that specific app
[19:29] <erUSUL> nipas: it should
[19:29] <nipas> Is it configured to play at max quality depending on the file ?
[19:29] <mj8741> sysRPL: the search tool is at the bottom of the page
[19:29] <sysRPL> i was trying to compare the next Thor movie -> http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2010/07/14/thor-portrait-studio.jpg ... to this -> http://languages.oberlin.edu/courses/2010/spring/cine270/mwillems/files/2010/02/batman-and-robin-6.jpg
[19:29] <Buttons840> how does set differ from export?
[19:30] <pdg1> has anyone had success with setting up fluxtorrent-b4rt?
[19:30] <erUSUL> Buttons840: ask in #bash
[19:30] <orangey> hello all!
[19:30] <_jesse_> erUSUL: well it says the module is from the staging directory so the quality is unknown, but nothering other than that; I remember having to fiddle around with it when I initially upgraded to 10.04 I probably put that other driver there
[19:30] <orangey> is there any way to move video output across computers?
[19:30] <_jesse_> *nothing
[19:31] <orangey> i.e., I want to move to a different room, but still watch my comedy central or whatever
[19:31] <mj8741> sysRPL: http://www.imdb.com/find - try this
[19:31] <hypn0> nipas, i think u need to search online for your sound chipset and see what it support
[19:31] <nipas> The chipset supports it for sure
[19:31] <erUSUL> _jesse_: very weird... there are no error messages or anything that can clarify what is wrong ...
[19:32] <erUSUL> nipas: ask in #alsa
[19:32] <nipas> ok thx so much
[19:32] <erUSUL> _jesse_: you can try installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic
[19:33] <ForestBear> hey guys how do I set up a LAN server
[19:33] <abhijit> stanley_robertso, whats up?
[19:33] <erUSUL> ForestBear: what type of server?
[19:33] <_jesse_> erUSUL: nothing that stands out, alright, I'll try to find a flash drive and download that deb on this computer; it's a windows machine though, where can I might I get that package online?
[19:33] <abhijit> ForestBear, ask in #ubuntu-server
[19:33] <ForestBear> ok
[19:33] <erUSUL> _jesse_: packages.ubuntu.com
[19:34] <_jesse_> erUSUL: alright, thanks for your help, I'll give that a shot
[19:34] <erUSUL> no problem
[19:34] <macanud0> good day
[19:37] <deego> Hello, (I have purged ufw.) I am able to ssh into my ubuntu box (static IP) from other IP's in the LAN, but not from outside. IT assures me that the external IP they gave me maps to the internal IP, and they triple checked.
[19:37] <deego> I always get "Connection timed out."
[19:38] <Grayhane> I want to copy several home directories on my sys to a second drive to reload the system, how do I keep all the permissions as they are now ?
[19:38] <deego> cp -a
[19:39] <Buttons840> where should the .pam_environment file be located?  and what format does it take?
[19:40] <Grayhane> deegee,  tu
[19:40] <Roasted_> Question - When you're on Windows and you go start - run - \\server, I can see folders + printers. When I go the same thing in Nautilus by smb://server, I only see folders. Is there a way to see printers listed there too??
[19:41] <^peanut^> !smb
[19:42] <arooni> how can i induce a visual 'flash' on the screen from the command line?
[19:44] <blink_> I want to make gnome-volume-control-applet step volume by 1 instead of by 5 using the mouse wheel.  I've set it like this `gconftool-2 --set --type int  /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/volume_step 1` but the wheel doesn't observe that value. any ideas?
[19:44] <_jesse_> erUSUL: it appears that that is just a dummy package that includes the others so I'll just wait til I get home and can (hopefully) connect via ethernet rather than trying to grab all of the dependencies; thanks again though
[19:45] <_jesse_> erUSUL: as a side note, do  you know if there is a difference between linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic and linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic-pae ?
[19:45] <trism> Buttons840: $HOME/.pam_environment according to: man pam_env; and the format is VARIABLE [DEFAULT=[value]] [OVERRIDE=[value]] according to: man pam_env.conf
[19:45] <Buttons840> trism: so i would say MYENVVAR MYVALUE    ?
[19:45] <MaRk-I> _jesse_: pae is for systems with more than 4GB of ram
[19:46] <_jesse_> MaRk-I: ah physical address extension; wasn't even thinking about that :)
[19:46] <blink_> 32 bit systems w/ more than 4GB that is ;)
[19:48] <trism> Buttons840: no, it would appear to be: MYENVVAR DEFAULT=MYVALUE
[19:48] <DexterP17> Can some one help me with my Gwibber application?
[19:48] <trism> Buttons840: there is more info on the format if you read /etc/security/pam_env.conf
[19:48] <Buttons840> trism: is there a way to update the variables without logging in again?
[19:49] <karamorf> having some problems with mdadm in ubuntu, apparently the array wasn't saved to the config file (at least thats what I think this output means: http://friendpaste.com/5KQnn9zkIOWwrHYesEDJge) ... so I need to tell it to forget about it and recreate the array? Manually put stuff in the mdadm.conf file?

[19:52] <DexterP17> The Facebook loginin will not work
[19:52] <osmodivs> I do not want anything weird like Sabayon or CentOS, or redhat
[19:53] <trism> Buttons840: not sure
[19:53] <pLr> osmodivs: you should get familiar with the server edition for your project, but the desktop edition is more user-friendly
[19:53] <Buttons840> trism: i logged in again and its working, thanks for the help
[19:53] <osmodivs> Hm, just the name SERVER sounds not so friendly
[19:53] <pLr> osmodivs: the server version is the same just no desktop
[19:54] <pLr> osmodivs: but u can always install 1
[19:54] <osmodivs> does the Desktop edition has the same features as the Server edition?
[19:54] <osmodivs> I mean, whats the diference?
[19:55] <osmodivs> does the Server edition has the same eyecandy?
[19:55] <^peanut^> osmodivs: there is alot. please check out http://ubuntu.com and read about the 2 OS's.
[19:55] <osmodivs> I'll do that peanut
[19:55] <erUSUL> osmodivs: server has no gui

[20:02] <sekhmet> Hey all - Just making sure I'm reading this correctly: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-crypto&searchon=names&suite=lucid&section=all would imply that python-crypto is available in lucid, but not in any earlier release of Ubuntu?
[20:02] <patholio> right, i have finally given up on amarok2, is there some alternative music player thats worth a try?
[20:02] <amanthakur> hello everyone, i just wnted to ask is their any thing available like "boot: linux vnc askmethod" in ubuntu?? I use that in RHEL for remote installation....
[20:03] <nicofs> Can someone help me troubleshoot my 3g modem? it stopped working (i can't connect anymore)

[20:05] <rkhshm> I have a bunch of some 50 new pkgs that i want to build with a my own modifications...
[20:05] <rkhshm>  i want to automate this process as individually building them will be a pain
[20:05] <rkhshm>  if i put the logic into a script "dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc' .. if any of the debhelper scripts cause erros also.. it will the entire buildpkg cmd will give me $? == 0 ..is there anyway i can check if anyof the dh_* scripts fail during the buildpkg and exit that pkg build completely>?
[20:05] <FloodBot4> rkhshm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:05] <rkhshm> anyone with ideas on my issue guys?

[20:17] <smtx> pLr: i dont have that installed. in which package is it?
[20:19] <pLr> smtx: dpkg-dev
[20:19] <racethesunlive> robotgunslinger: you can try the command 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate auto'
[20:20] <smtx> pLr: weird thats what i thought too. that package is installed allready
[20:21] <preecher> in ubuntu how do i check an see about my video -type and memory?
[20:21] <pLr> smtx: oops hold on i might be timewarped
[20:22] <robotgunslinger> racethesunlive: thanks! just tried it. no difference though :/ speed dropped to 9 M/s lol
[20:22] <nicofs> Can someone help me troubleshoot my 3g modem? it stopped working (i can't connect anymore)
[20:22] <ZykoticK9> preecher, "lspci | grep -i vga", unless you have nvidia i have no idea how to check video memory (with nvidia just open nvidia-settings i believe)
[20:22] <e10byagrue> was traceroute removed from ubuntu by default for a reason?
[20:22] <e10byagrue> i had to install it
[20:22] <racethesunlive> robotgunslinger: you can always replace the 'auto' with a speed, aka 55MB etc
[20:22] <Oer> video > lspci | grep -i VGA
[20:23] <waldir> Hi there. The multimedia keys in my Toshiba laptop stopped working after I installed 10.04. What can I do to get them back?
[20:23] <ZykoticK9> Oer, the "-i" is to be case non-sensitive "lspci | grep VGA" would work fine - as it's VGA that is actually there
[20:23] <Oer> memory > free
[20:23] <preecher> ZykoticK9 im pretty sure its an ati chip but i dont kno how check in ubunyu
[20:24] <ZykoticK9> preecher, "lspci | grep -i vga" will tell you for sure
[20:24] <preecher> ZykoticK0 thx
[20:25] <Oer> vga or VGA, same answer
[20:25] <wizard_> hello all seems when I click on a flash file to play it wont play the file any ideas thanks
[20:25] <ZykoticK9> Oer, with the -i yes
[20:25] <razer_> whats the console comand to make all programs relese the soundcard?
[20:25] <ddose2> wat i did is took out adobe and went to the video and on top of the window it said install missing adobe i did and bam it works now
[20:26] <Oer> ah i see, ZykoticK9 , you're right :-)
[20:26] <toto__> guys guys guys hi guys :)
[20:26] <toto__> and girls too :)
[20:26] <ddose2> thanks 4 yal help i had to do it my self do

[20:27] <wizard_> hello all seems when I click on a flash file to play it wont play the file any ideas thanks
[20:27] <ddose2> yup thanks
[20:27] <ZykoticK9> wizard_, what Ubuntu and are you using 64bit?
[20:27] <wizard_> yes
[20:27] <ZykoticK9> wizard_, you too might want to check http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working
[20:27] <wizard_> ZykoticK9, yes 10.4 64 bit
[20:27] <toto__> i have a question about mythbuntu: the CD is working out of the box? I mean: do I need to set up a db and a server, or is this all handled by the CD that loads the db?
[20:28] <ZykoticK9> wizard_, um on 10.04 I'm not sure it applies, good luck.
[20:28] <thune3> razer_: there may be a better way but "sudo alsa force-reload" might accomplish that. "sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*" will show you what programs are hooked into sound.
[20:28] <waldir> hey ZykoticK9 do you think you can help me regarding multimedia keys not working?
[20:28] <wizard_> ZykoticK9, thanks it was working just stopped
[20:28] <Guest13171> i am lookin 4 a script. i got a link. it is a text page. how do i proceed?
[20:28] <ZykoticK9> waldir, not really my speciality i'm affraid.  good luck man.
[20:28] <razer_> thune3, tx
[20:29] <waldir> ZykoticK9: given the responses I had (none), it seems to be noone's specialty around here :(

[20:32] <Guest13171> save as wot?
[20:32] <robotgunslinger> racethesunlive: doesn't let me connect to the router if I manually change the rate. any value over 11M doesn't let me connect. I just logged into my Thompson router and under Wlan it says next to my computername that the type of connection is 11g
[20:33] <waldir> hey Pici, you're the one who last changed the channel topic, do you know whether editing the tagline has ever been suggested?

[20:40] <falconic> hey guys.. I am trying to setup a Ubuntu virtual machine based dev environment for ruby
[20:41] <falconic> on my laptop.. I have given 2 GB RAM ..
[20:41] <falconic> and I am on an i5 processor
[20:41] <falconic> but the vm seems a little sluggish for development.. are there some optimizations which I can do to increase the performance ?
[20:42] <ZykoticK9> falconic, what virtualization software are you using?
[20:42] <falconic> ZykoticK9: Vmware 7.1 on Windows 7 Machine
[20:42] <falconic> I have also tried on a Mac 10.6.4
[20:42] <falconic> but again the Vm seems a little sluggish.
[20:43] <belkinsa> Open or closed source?
[20:43] <ZykoticK9> falconic, ummm, sorry i have no experience with VMWare - best of luck.  I believe VirtualBox is typically faster.
[20:43] <belkinsa> Oh, sorry, nevermind.
[20:43] <falconic> ZykoticK9: I can try with that also.
[20:43] <TheHaplo> How could i take my pidgin msn chat records for backup???
[20:43] <thune3> falconic: turn of compiz (visual-effects) ?
[20:43] <Spanglish_7776> falconic: I use VirtualBox, it works well.
[20:43] <TheHaplo> How could i take my pidgin msn chat records for backup???
[20:43] <ZykoticK9> falconic, VMWare doesn't allow benchmarks to be published - i believe because it is SO slow.
[20:44] <falconic> thune3: already done that
[20:44] <Oer> TheHaplo, pidgin does have a Log option, with timestamp
[20:44] <falconic> ZykoticK9: but the windows machine runs fine.
[20:44] <falconic> I have 512 MB ram for it.
[20:44] <ManDay> Is there a way to properly install a program from source and have it replace one from the reps and have aptitude account for it - namely make it know that the "old" version can safely be removed?
[20:44] <bogdomania> falconic, add more RAM
[20:44] <falconic> and it seems to work fine.. atleast for the basic work..
[20:44] <robotgunslinger> Wlan Problem: Can't set the wlan0 rate above 11M, Connection Info shows Driver rtl8187, actual chip in the stick is rtl8187b. could this be the problem?
[20:44] <ZykoticK9> TheHaplo, check in ~/.purple i believe and see if chat logs are in there.  sorry Pidgin isn't installed on my machine right now.
[20:44] <bogdomania> and check your motherboard FSB
[20:44] <ikonia> ManDay: thats a big topic
[20:44] <falconic> bogdomania: 2 GB out of 4GB ... is that less ?
[20:44] <bj0ng0> anyone using GPSD with ubuntu 10.4  ?
[20:44] <ikonia> ManDay: what do you want to replace
[20:45] <bogdomania> i have 4g ~600 Mhz and is sluggish
[20:45] <TheHaplo> thank you i will try
[20:45] <bogdomania> when i compile
[20:45] <ManDay> ikonia, dont want, have to. xorg macros for m4 (if thats what you call it)
[20:45] <falconic> its a DDR3 ram.
[20:45] <ManDay> i already did ikonia - now i want to make it kinda look proper
[20:45] <falconic> latest Acer 5475G laptop
[20:45] <bogdomania> falconic, what are you developing?
[20:45] <Oer> ManDay, you can replace the pre-compiled packages with own-build, but with a kernel-update, you have to compile again.
[20:45] <ikonia> ManDay: did you remove the package from ubuntu, before installing the compiled one ?
[20:45] <bogdomania> c,c++java?
[20:45] <Guest13171> and how is a bin bash script saved?
[20:46] <Guest13171> .sh???
[20:46] <Guest13171> or .ssh???
[20:46] <bogdomania> or .bin or .run
[20:46] <ikonia> Oer: that's not true, you don't have to recompile with a kernel update
[20:46] <Spanglish_7776> .sh
[20:46] <thune3> robotgunslinger: are you sure your access point allows 802.11g connections?
[20:46] <ManDay> ikonia, no, i didnt, i only backed up the main directory
[20:46] <Spanglish_7776> filename.sh
[20:46] <^peanut^> bash = .sh, perl .pl, etc. etc.
[20:46] <falconic> bogdomania: Ruby
[20:46] <Guest13171> and can i use the script from any loaction???
[20:46] <falconic> in various flavors.. Ruby, REE, Jruby etc
[20:46] <ikonia> ManDay: ok, my hint is removing the ubuntu packages before dropping new ones in, as that keeps the package manager in check. Also if possible view the ubuntu configure script for that package to get the locations at build time the same
[20:46] <^peanut^> if it's in your $PATH
[20:46] <ManDay> ikonia, was that a bad idea?
[20:46] <ikonia> ManDay: it's not great, but it's not the end of the world either
[20:47] <robotgunslinger> thune3: thompson wlan router shows me connected as 11g
[20:47] <ZykoticK9> Guest13171, use the entire path when calling the command or copy the script to somewhere in your path
[20:47] <Spanglish_7776> Guest13171 if you make a directory in your home called bin and dump it in there you should be able to call it from where ever
[20:47] <bogdomania> falconic, on ruby you can`t do very large projects whatsoever, therefore, with 2gb  ram and an intel i5 should work just fine..
[20:47] <ManDay> ikonia, ok, thanks. simply force apt-get to remove the package with ignoring deps, right?
[20:47] <ikonia> ManDay: that's how I'd do it
[20:47] <bogdomania> that`s if you didn`t messed up some config/kernel modules!?
[20:47] <blink_> anybody know the command to enumarate what package in apt provides a specific binary
[20:47] <ManDay> ok ikonia thank you :)
[20:47] <falconic> bogdomania: I use netbeans and post gres for development
[20:47] <MrPingouin> hello world
[20:47] <falconic> is that causing the issue?
[20:48] <racethesunlive> hello MrPingouin
[20:48] <falconic> bogdomania: btw.. what makes u feel ruby cant handle big projects ?
[20:48] <MrPingouin> anyone has ever installed a SSD ?
[20:48] <blink_> dselect or dpkg?
[20:48] <bogdomania> 0_o :)) ruby vs c/c++ ? be serious
[20:48] <MrPingouin> I just bought a crucial c300 and it seems its performances aren't as dreamy as expected
[20:48] <falconic> bogdomania: no comparing the too :)
[20:48] <falconic> wrong comparions
[20:48] <robotgunslinger> thune3: iwlist wlan0 scan shows bit rates from 1 Mb/s to 54 Mb/s says IEEE802.11i/WPA 2 Version 1
[20:48] <bogdomania> when i say large, i mean LArge
[20:48] <falconic> I do a lot of wed development..
[20:49] <falconic> web*
[20:49] <falconic> so for that it works well.
[20:49] <robotgunslinger> @thune3  iwlist wlan0 scan shows bit rates from 1 Mb/s to 54 Mb/s says IEEE802.11i/WPA 2 Version 1
[20:49] <falconic> bogdomania: any suggested optimizations for a vm machine ?
[20:49] <bogdomania> look, i`m not against ruby, all i was saying is that ruby is not that mem hungry, in order to slow down your machine..
[20:49] <^peanut^> falconic: fast disk, lots of ram =)
[20:50] <falconic> well 2 GB shd be fine.
[20:50] <^peanut^> yeah
[20:50] <bogdomania> so i would check the tail -f /var/log/messages, and #top .. check for some memory hungry apps
[20:50] <falconic> hard disk .. its a hitachi hard disk..
[20:50] <^peanut^> I use 4g on my servers...just incase =)
[20:50] <falconic> okie
[20:50] <Bernardo> 4g what?
[20:50] <neezer> Can I get some help with a VPN issue? I am running open VPN on the client side with ubuntu, and I have downloaded a config file from my server along with the key and such. I'm not sure how to get things going from there.
[20:50] <bogdomania> ^peanut^, i have 4gb on my desktop,and i want more :))
[20:50] <^peanut^> memory Bernardo
[20:50] <Bernardo> ah
[20:50] <Bernardo> we use a lot more
[20:50] <falconic> hmmm
[20:51] <falconic> but then how does an equivalent sized windows machine perform better
[20:51] <Bernardo> and RAID1 hardware
[20:51] <falconic> atleast in general working
[20:51] <Spanglish_7776> neezer how are you configuring the OpenVPN Client conf, gui?
[20:51] <falconic> and loading of stuff
[20:51] <^peanut^> Bernardo: I only have 8 xen images running atm via para-virt. so 4 is more than enough.
[20:51] <thune3> robotgunslinger: driver is supposed to autoshift based on signal quality. You can try setting it higher and see what happens 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M', or some higher one 22M maybe, but you may need to set it back to auto if it doesn't work well.
[20:51] <bogdomania> falconic, depends on how well optimized is the SO && apps
[20:51] <Bernardo> i see
[20:52] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, I am using the gui I think....but I downloaded a config file from the server I think?
[20:52] <falconic> does ubuntu have some specicialed kernel or layer for running as virtual guest ?
[20:52] <bogdomania> for instance, i run quake wars enemy territory on linux,multithreaded with ~= 130 Fps, on win7 with 90
[20:52] <Yeti_69> !fr
[20:52] <ikonia> falconic: no
[20:52] <^peanut^> Bernardo: tho, we just ordered 50K worth of gear for the new Xen system I'm putting together...so I might just add more ram to the heavy hit machines
[20:52] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, I also am wondering if it is even possible because the vpn server is behind a router...but it is in the DMZ.
[20:53] <bogdomania> falconic, btw, compile you own kernel,from source,clean
[20:53] <bogdomania> :)
[20:53] <bogdomania> should help a bit
[20:53] <falconic> do u have any suggestions on what I can do ?
[20:53] <^peanut^> yea, roll your own's are much better =)
[20:53] <Bernardo> ^peanut^ in servers or storage also?
[20:53] <ikonia> no it won't
[20:53] <ikonia> if anything it will cause issues
[20:53] <falconic> or which distro I can use ?
[20:53] <ikonia> that is utter nonsense
[20:53] <Bernardo> actually, our servers boot from the storage there are no local harddisks anymore
[20:54] <falconic> :( I would love too..but a little short on time right now
[20:54] <Spanglish_7776> neezer should be ok if the dmz allows the default port (1194 I believe) have you tried to see if you can sniff the port to see if it's being forwarded by the router?
[20:54] <^peanut^> Bernardo: both. I'll have a 32TB storage to dice up
[20:54] <Guest13171> i saved a few scripts as ****.sh
[20:54] <bogdomania> or(who dares) check out and fix drivers on opensolaris :))
[20:54] <Guest13171> and how do i run these?
[20:54] <robotgunslinger> thune3: if i try to set the rate manually higher than 11M the wlan stick just doesn't connect to the network. Also tryed changing the channel on the router
[20:54] <Bernardo> ok
[20:54] <Spanglish_7776> where did you save them Guest13171
[20:54] <Spanglish_7776> ?
[20:54] <Guest13171> in a folder in home folder
[20:54] <bogdomania> Guest13171, change the perm for them, +x and run them in the shell
[20:54] <^peanut^> Guest: where you placed your scripts if you are in the same location, just use ./scriptname
[20:55] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, I'm not familliar with sniffing a port...might take a lot of google? or is there a quick explaination?
[20:55] <Guest13171> i changed the perm in GUI
[20:55] <Guest13171> wats +x?
[20:55] <bogdomania> good enough
[20:55] <Bernardo> chmod +x script
[20:55] <blink_> how do I recover /dev/null
[20:55] <Cityscape> h
[20:55] <ikonia> blink_: what happened to it ?
[20:55] <TNSe> So if Ubuntu doesn't recognize my NTFS partitions, what can I do to help it?
[20:55] <bogdomania> TNSe, it should by default
[20:55] <Bernardo> it will
[20:55] <Spanglish_7776> neezer are you behind the router the server is behind?
[20:55] <Guest13171> chmodding and changin perm in nautilus is the SAME right???
[20:55] <bogdomania> ntfs-3g and (v)fat
[20:56] <^peanut^> Guest: +x adds the excute bit flag to the file so you can run it
[20:56] <bogdomania> Guest13171, yes
[20:56] <TNSe> bogdomania: yeah, that was what I was expecting too, but it gives me a yellow !
[20:56] <experiMENTAL> problem not solved, plz. black screen with white flashing stripes up to half of the screen preceded by a message "checking battery state... [OK]": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531543

[20:57] <racethesunlive> robotgunslinger: your sure its not reporting the modulation of 11g?

[21:01] <bogdomania> same for the other one
[21:01] <m7stic> hello
[21:02] <belkinsa> Hello there.
[21:02] <neezer> belkinsa, looking for abc.com i think.
[21:02] <bogdomania> the one with ntfs on it
[21:02] <^peanut^> perlsyntax: check out http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html
[21:02] <Spanglish_7776> Guest13171 paste the script on pastebin
[21:02] <Spanglish_7776> !pastebin
[21:02] <m7stic> how recursive is rm -r ?
[21:02] <ikonia> m7stic: until end
[21:02] <bogdomania> :))
[21:02] <bogdomania> rm -rf /
[21:02] <bogdomania> and you`ll see
[21:02] <TNSe> /dev/sda1   *           1       38912   312560608+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[21:02] <Spanglish_7776> bad!
[21:02] <ikonia> bogdomania: please don't paste that
[21:02] <ZykoticK9> !danger
[21:02] <^peanut^> m7stic: if you run it as none root. it will remove all the files u own.
[21:02] <m7stic> one would think as much
[21:02] <ikonia> bogdomania: don't do that again
[21:02] <robotgunslinger> racethesunlive: hm, I am new to ubunto, but I am pretty sure the speed is really 11M/sec at least that's what ubuntu is telling me if i right click on the wlan symbol under connection info.
[21:03] <TNSe> /dev/sdb1               1       38913   312568641    7  HPFS/NTFS
[21:03] <bogdomania> ok ok.. good god
[21:03] <Bernardo> !danger
[21:03] <bogdomania> was a joke
[21:03] <ikonia> bogdomania: thanks
[21:03] <Bernardo> !achtung
[21:03] <ikonia> bogdomania: I know but it can cause issues in rare situations.
[21:03] <bogdomania> tell me about it..
[21:03] <Ken_Novo> bgdomania: we know. Some jokes are inappropriate in some places.
[21:03] <guntbert> bogdomania: there is nothing like a joke in a support channel
[21:03] <bogdomania> 7 years ago.. it did for me
[21:03] <ikonia> ok, he knows, lets move on
[21:03] <racethesunlive> robotgunslinger: you may very well be right as I dont have a laptop here in front of me, only a desktop
[21:04] <TNSe> bogdomania: I only pasted teh last line with the NTFS info in :P
[21:04] <bogdomania> right..
[21:04] <bogdomania> sorry :)
[21:04] <TNSe> it just doesn't see to want to recognize sda/sdb as valid NTFS partitions
[21:04] <m7stic> it's strange that i'm running: rm -rf ./*\(?\).* and while it deletes the files in the immediate pwd, it fails to delete files in the subsequent dirs. any ideas?
[21:05] <ikonia> TNSe: sda and sdb are not partitions
[21:05] <Spanglish_7776> neezer you're using ubuntu to connect to the openvpn server?/
[21:05] <ikonia> m7stic: why not just rm -rf .
[21:05] <TNSe> ikonia: Tried sda1/sdb1 too
[21:05] <ikonia> TNSe: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l " in a pastebin
[21:05] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, yes, my client is an ubuntu machine.
[21:05] <m7stic> ikonia,  bc i'm attempting to preserve some of the files
[21:05] <robotgunslinger> racethesunlive: could this actually be a usb problem? maybe only using the transfer rate of usb 1?
[21:05] <bogdomania> TNSe, it looks like(as i suspected) it`s a kernel problem.. posted on several forums
[21:05] <TNSe> !pastebin
[21:06] <TNSe> bogdomania: damn >_<
[21:06] <m7stic> i'm trying to delete some of the duplicate files i have in my music collection
[21:06] <^peanut^> m7stic: how about running. rm -r *."whatever"
[21:06] <kuuh> hey. Do I have to do something apart from installing it to use compiz?
[21:06] <Ken_Novo> n7stic: shel doesn't accept regular expressions
[21:06] <TNSe> bogdomania: any way to try a fix?
[21:06] <m7stic> Ken_Novo, ok
[21:07] <bogdomania> working on it.. btw.. if you use the live cd, the disk is mounted?
[21:07] <^peanut^> unless use use "find" and "regex" then you could do your rm -r with that
[21:07] <TNSe> bogdomania: I am using Ubuntu on a USB memory pin :P
[21:07] <Spanglish_7776> neezer: open a terminal cd to where the config file is (make sure the keys are where they are specified on the config file) type openvpn config.file
[21:07] <blendmaster1024> how do I set a package to manually installed, so things that depend on it can install? I installed it from source
[21:07] <Ken_Novo> m7stic: what exactly were you trying to accomplish?
[21:07] <m7stic> i'm attempting to keep 01_foo.ogg, but get rid of 01_foo (1).ogg and 01_foo (2).ogg
[21:07] <m7stic> in multiple directories
[21:07] <eremita> hellooooo, pleassee, shoutcast don't work into Streamtuner, please, helpppp¡¡¡¡¡
[21:08] <racethesunlive> m7stic: what about rm ./*(*?
[21:08] <gidna> Hi
[21:09] <racethesunlive> m7stic: unless some non duplicates have () in them
[21:09] <belkinsa> Hello there.
[21:09] <kuuh> what do i have to do to get compiz running? I've installed but it deosn'T seem to be work although 3D acceleration is working
[21:09] <m7stic> racethesunlive, then i lose 02_foo_(feat joe).ogg
[21:09] <gNewPower> Hi!  How do I get the "cube of desktops" of compiz to move back and rotate?
[21:09] <eremita> shoutcast is kaput into Streamtuner, don't run
[21:09] <gidna> I want a chess program that allows me to take pieces out the board and reach a certain position , Are there any?
[21:09] <racethesunlive> m7stic: what about ./*(?)*
[21:09] <eremita> is it streamtuner an obsolete aplication now?
[21:09] <Soul_Sample> i keep getting the error WARNING: Failed to parse default value `[????????? ???????;gnome-appearance-properties.desktop,????????? ???????????? ???????????;gnome-default-applications.desktop,?????????? ??????????;system-config-printer.desktop] ' for schema (/schemas/apps/control-center/cc_actions_list)
[21:09] <kuuh> gNewPower, ctrl + alt + left mouse should do
[21:09] <Soul_Sample>  when updating. is it serious? I can't determine what's wrong :S
[21:09] <gNewPower> gidna, the best chess program for Ubuntu is scid
[21:09] <trism> m7stic: use find instead of rm, the bash shell expansions will only apply to the current directory, so it won't work recursively
[21:10] <alzamabar> I'm editing /etc/resolv.conf but after a while it gets resetted. How do I specify the DNS servers once and for all?
[21:10] <m7stic> trism, ok
[21:10] <belkinsa> Doesn't the basic chess one that come with Ubuntu dothat?
[21:10] <gNewPower> kuuh, does not work :-(
[21:10] <belkinsa> do that*
[21:10] <m7stic> trism, so i would pipe my find output to rm?
[21:10] <Spanglish_7776> alzamabar do you get your IP via DHCP?
[21:10] <^peanut^> m7stic: try using this. rm -r *."(2)"*
[21:10] <kuuh> gNewPower, does your cube work at all?
[21:10] <alzamabar> Yes
[21:10] <przemek_> pz
[21:10] <gNewPower> kuuh, yes
[21:10] <alzamabar> Spanglish_7776 yes
[21:10] <Spanglish_7776> neezer did you give that a go?
[21:10] <gNewPower> kuuh, it rotates fine
[21:10] <trism> m7stic: find has a delete option
[21:10] <glickinator> hey is anyone running lucid on a netbook?
[21:10] <Ken_Novo> m7stic: most general and portable way to do this would be: find . -name '*\([0-9]\).*' -exec rm '{}' \;
[21:10] <gidna> gNewPower It's a database or a program?
[21:10] <kuuh> gNewPower, damn mine doesn't and i can't figure out why
[21:11] <glickinator> the full version or the remix version?
[21:11] <erUSUL> m7stic: bash4 can do expansion recursively with ** maybe rm -rf **/*\(?\).*
[21:11] <e10byagrue> glickinator: i am
[21:11] <gNewPower> and super+e works fine
[21:11] <eremita> peanut, i dont undertand u
[21:11] <Ken_Novo> m7stic: not sure whether the brackets need to be escaped, though.
[21:11] <glickinator> e10byagrue, which version?
[21:11] <glickinator> remix?
[21:11] <eremita> rm what
[21:11] <e10byagrue> glickinator: full
[21:11] <bogdomania> TNSe, Bios -> set the Sata to compatibility mode
[21:11] <gNewPower> gidna, is a full chess program
[21:11] <e10byagrue> glickinator: my roomate is running nbr
[21:11] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, I'm working on it...I forgot where I put them, and I don't have an /etc/VPN folder or a .VPN in my /home/name directory...trying to remember where I put them.
[21:11] <gNewPower> gidna, check out the website. google 'scid chess'
[21:11] <TNSe> bogdomania: ouch, gotta reboot then, and since I'm on a memory chip that means I'll lose everything here XD
[21:11] <m7stic> erUSUL, Ken_Novo Trism i will try those in order of simplicity =D
[21:11] <TNSe> but thanks for tip, I'll try that soon
[21:12] <glickinator> how is it e10byagrue ? is it much better then jaunty?
[21:12] <gNewPower> gidna, its the best chess software out there, better thant the commercial ones
[21:12] <gidna> gNewPower I'm installing it now..
[21:12] <ikonia> gidna: what ?
[21:12] <bogdomania> save your work
[21:12] <Eventyret> Is there a way to fix the issue with bootdelay due to nforce drivers ? for sm_bus ?
[21:12] <bogdomania> and reboot
[21:12] <e10byagrue> glickinator: which version?
[21:12] <gNewPower> gidna, its awesome, you will see
[21:12] <ikonia> oops
[21:12] <Spanglish_7776> neezer do you remember what they are called?
[21:12] <ikonia> glickinator: what ?
[21:12] <glickinator> e10byagrue, the full version
[21:12] <Spanglish_7776> neezer the file
[21:12] <erUSUL> m7stic: well; be carefull when using rm -rf ; try first with echo
[21:12] <gNewPower> gidna, make sure to install all the chess engines like stochfish and toga2
[21:12] <acovrig> in ls -a, what are the different columns?, 'chmod ? chown ? size last-modified-date last-modified-time filename'?
[21:12] <CrayonOfDoom> What could cause input lag in a terminal?
[21:12] <m7stic> erUSUL, thank you for the reminder
[21:12] <neezer> yeah. I have them in my downloads folder still, but I moved them somewhere else too.
[21:13] <gidna> gNewPower I have gnu chess
[21:13] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, above ^^^
[21:13] <acovrig> CrayonOfDoom: ssh, cmd not found?
[21:13] <glickinator> or even nbr, i want to use my netbook for some drupal dev
[21:13] <Spanglish_7776> neezer do sudo updatedb and then do locate filename of config
[21:13] <gNewPower> gidna, gnu chess does not come near Stockfish or Toga2 or Glaurung
[21:13] <CrayonOfDoom> i'm in through SSH, would that just be network latency?
[21:13] <gNewPower> gidna, good luck!!
[21:13] <glickinator> i wish ubuntu had an easy way to manage services
[21:13] <glickinator> like it used to have
[21:13] <blink_> alright, I need to rebuild gnome-volume-control-applet from source because the volume step by mouse wheel is hard coded instead of referencing the value in gconf. where I can I find the build settings that were used in creating the package in apt so I can replicate it on my own machine (with the change in source to fix this)
[21:13] <glickinator> and like suse has
[21:13] <acovrig> Spanglish_7776: why?
[21:13] <e10byagrue> glickinator: it runs pretty well. I have no complaints besides my aircrack-ng
[21:14] <guntbert> acovrig: are you asking about columns or colors?
[21:14] <belkinsa> Ubuntu Brainstorm allows you give ideas for that, Glickinator.
[21:14] <gidna> gNewPower I don't see toga2 in che ubuntu software center
[21:14] <^peanut^> blink_: you might want to try #ubuntu-dev
[21:14] <acovrig> guntbert: columns, not colors, I have no colors (ssh connection)
[21:14] <Ken_Novo> m7stic: OK, the brackets do not need to be escaped so it's find . -name '*([0-9]).*' -exec rm '{}' \;
[21:14] <belkinsa> Gidna: check repos.
[21:15] <CrayonOfDoom> Anyone know where I can find detailed information about the "d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string" in a preseed?
[21:15] <Spanglish_7776> acovrig neezer forgot where he moved a file to I was showing him how to search for it, command line. (at least the way I do it)
[21:15] <glickinator> belkinsa, it used to have it, under system->administration->services
[21:15] <guntbert> acovrig: I asked because ls -a has no columns by default, that would be ls -l
[21:15] <glickinator> then they took it out for some reason
[21:15] <belkinsa> Then ask for it!
[21:15] <blink_> alrighty
[21:15] <Ken_Novo> m7stic and to test beforehand whether you're removing the right files it's simply find . -name '*([0-9]).*'
[21:15] <Beyecixramd> best gnome-compliant FTP client?
[21:15] <Jibmo> are there any ubuntu distributions that already have everything in it? compiz, etc
[21:15] <belkinsa> Maybe people will agree.
[21:15] <acovrig> Spanglish_7776: lol, I thought you meant never, not neezer, ok
[21:15] <acovrig> guntbert: then yes, idk why I said -a instead of -l
[21:16] <Beyecixramd> Jibmo: Ubuntu has Compiz in it
[21:16] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, I may have made a mistake, I went to / and did "grep -r ca-cert.pem" this could take a LONG time couldn't it.
[21:16] <Spanglish_7776> acovrig. ;)
[21:16] <m7stic> Ken_Novo, thank you
[21:16] <Beyecixramd> Jibmo: for a great out-of-the-box experience, i recommend SUSE or Sabayon
[21:16] <Spanglish_7776> neezer cntrl + C
[21:16] <Jibmo> kool
[21:16] <Spanglish_7776> neezer should stop the process
[21:16] <gidna> belkinsa What should I do?
[21:16] <sigmonsays> Plymouth segfaults under KVM when booting; I am not sure why and it can't be uninstalled since it depends on too much of the core system components (who the hell knows why). How do I disable it?
[21:16] <Jibmo> i got everything working well, but didnt put it onto its own partition
[21:16] <erUSUL> Beyecixramd: Places>connect to Server
[21:16] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, that worked, is there a faster way to search than grep?
[21:16] <guntbert> acovrig: its permissions, link count, owner, group, size, time stamp, name
[21:17] <Beyecixramd> erUSUL: oh... Nautilus does that?
[21:17] <Beyecixramd> :D
[21:17] <Beyecixramd> thanks erUSUL
[21:17] <Spanglish_7776> locate
[21:17] <erUSUL> Beyecixramd: no problem
[21:17] <figure002> Beyecixramd: isn't Ubuntu a great out-of-the-box experience?
[21:17] <acovrig> guntbert: thanks, that's quite handy lol
[21:17] <Spanglish_7776> but you'll want to do a updatedb (with sudo
[21:17] <undecim> Anyone know of an app to test reaction time? (preferably one in the repos)
[21:17] <Spanglish_7776> neezer ^^
[21:17] <guntbert> acovrig: for details please see:  man ls
[21:17] <Beyecixramd> figure002: yeah, but it lacks private codecs and private drivers...
[21:18] <Jibmo> sabayon looks purdyy
[21:18] <neezer> got it! was /etc/openvpn, not /etc/vpn
[21:18] <figure002> Beyecixramd: yeah, that's true
[21:18] <belkinsa> Figure: Install Restricted Extras.
[21:18] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, ^^^ one second I have to go back and see what I'm supposed to do.
[21:18] <Spanglish_7776> neezer: ok
[21:19] <Jibmo> so sabayon is gonna have my ati drivers and schtuff
[21:19] <belkinsa> Ginda: Did you get my PM?
[21:19] <bogdomania> Jibmo, not even windows has *everything* in it,after a fresh install
[21:19] <bogdomania> you can customize your installation after
[21:19] <Jibmo> yep
[21:19] <figure002> belkinsa: yep, i already have. thanks though.
[21:20] <lvh> hey
[21:20] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, what is pastebin again? I have some error output.
[21:20] <Spanglish_7776> !pastebin
[21:20] <lvh> is there some way I can convince evolution to understand message threads (like gmail does)?
[21:21] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, http://paste.ubuntu.com/464210/
[21:21] <MetalGeek_N00b> Hello all, Is the app gparted any good? I'm considering it to help with moving my /home, to its own partiotion
[21:22] <alzamabar> Spanglish_7776, the solution to my problem can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StaticDnsWithDhcp
[21:22] <kuuh> you don't need gparted for that
[21:22] <bastid_raZor> !seperatehome | MetalGeek_N00b
[21:22] <buddha_> hey guys iam new at ubuntu and i have a little problem
[21:22] <ManDay> Is there an installer Image for ubuntu which provides *both*: Full offline installation AND minimal installation (meaning select what you want and you get only that) ?
[21:22] <bastid_raZor> oops
[21:22] <bastid_raZor> !home | MetalGeek_N00b
[21:22] <kuuh> but apart from that, it's pretty good
[21:23] <buddha_> could anyone help me by a little problem?
[21:23] <Spanglish_7776> neezer do you know how to see if you have a group "nobody" on your system?
[21:23] <thatryan> what is your problem
[21:23] <ManDay> !ask | buddha_
[21:23] <eremita> sorry  mes amis,  hellooooo, pleassee, shoutcast don't run into Streamtuner, please, helpppp¡¡¡¡¡
[21:23] <MetalGeek_N00b> I get what /home is, My question is if i should gparted or not to help with my aims
[21:24] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, I went to the GUI users and Groups and the clicked manage groups. I have a nogroup, but not a nobody
[21:24] <kuuh> MetalGeek_N00b,  just take a look at the link I guess everything is explained there
[21:24] <Spanglish_7776> neezer open the config file and put nogroup instead of nobody and try again
[21:25] <buddha_> ok my problem: i downloaded the teamspeak 3 client and run the .run file, so i get a folder with much files and other folders......with a start-script and so on.....could i create a desktop icon or somethink or must i start the script everytime?
[21:25] <markben> When playing video (in Movie Player, VLC, Banshee, etc.) I can hear the audio but the area where the video should appear is black.  Can't find anything similair on the internet.  Any suggestions what to do next?
[21:25] <seanh_> Hey, anyone know about running Ubuntu on an IBM ThinkCentre A58? According to the certification thing on ubuntu.com this model is "Ready", but it doesn't say what ready means!
[21:25] <MetalGeek_N00b> Iv'e got the link, its up in front of me, My question is about gparted!!!
[21:25] <neezer> could it be partly because the owner fo the config file is root, and not nathan?
[21:25] <MetalGeek_N00b> from apt-get
[21:26] <belkinsa> sudo apt-get install gpardted?
[21:26] <buddha_> anyone can help me by my problem?
[21:26] <Oer> seanh_, ready ? i asume they tested the model and find no problem installing Ubuntu.
[21:26] <markben> @buddha: Are you asking how to run the script for a launcher on your desktop?
[21:26] <belkinsa> graprted*
[21:26] <kuuh> belkinsa, ?!
[21:26] <Spanglish_7776> neezer: nah that shouldn't make a difference unless you need to edit it maybe
[21:26] <kuuh> markben, he is
[21:27] <Oer> seanh_, try it yourself with live-cd
[21:27] <ManDay> buddha_, right click your desktop and click add launcher
[21:27] <Spanglish_7776> neezer but there is no nobody group and it doesn't like that
[21:27] <buddha_> i dont want to have the folder on my desktop i only want a icon to start teamspeak 3
[21:27] <figure002> buddha_: it seems that teamspeak is in the Ubuntu repository. There's no need to manually download it from a website. Just start up your package manager, and search "teamspeak", then install it.
[21:27] <MetalGeek_N00b> belkinsa, Its from instructions i got here http://www.go2linux.org/how-to-move-home-directory-to-another-partition
[21:27] <buddha_> lol nice
[21:27] <seanh_> Oer I don't have the machine yet, thinking about buying if (I'm sourcing a new desktop for a local charity)
[21:27] <buddha_> i love ubuntu
[21:27] <fat00> Hi can anyone help me. I have a data partition which I use for data and I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 lite and somehow the partion is now showing lost+found folder which I think has my data in it. But I cant access it as it says I do not have permission
[21:27] <figure002> buddha_: Your package manager should automatically create a shortcut in the Main Menu.
[21:27] <buddha_> and the community is awesome
[21:27] <belkinsa> Metal: Then what's the problem?
[21:28] <markben> @buddha: Me too! :)
[21:28] <eremita>  hellooooo, pleassee, shoutcast don't work into Streamtuner, please, helpppp¡¡¡¡¡
[21:28] <buddha_> so anyone german?
[21:28] <Oer> oke seanh_ good start to look your model up, maybe you can try the live cd in the store.
[21:28] <Dr_Willis> fat00:  lost+found is where fsck puits things if it finds filesystem errors and recovers files. access it as the root user and see whats in there.
[21:28] <og420josh> im french
[21:28] <belkinsa> Buddha_: Neezer is
[21:28] <MetalGeek_N00b> belkinsa, I want to know if its any good/stable (gparted)
[21:28] <markben> Can anyone help me out with a blank screen when playing back video in Movie Player?  I'm trying to watch a jquery tutorial and being unable to see the typing is very annoying! :P
[21:29] <kuuh> but now.. i need someone to help me.. COmpiz is not running and i cannot figure out why. does anyone have an idea why... I'm using the Nvidia drivers and they are up an running... any ideas?
[21:29] <bogdomania> eremita,  see here http://badan.wordpress.com/2008/10/17/how-to-make-shoutcast-work-in-streamtuner/

[21:29] <kuuh> fat00, sudo su -
[21:29] <belkinsa> Metal: Ask a better question than that fragment that I saw.
[21:29] <neezer> well, i changed it and now I'm getting a connection refused. I've checked the server firewall, and it has the port open. i also changed the user to nathan in the file bacause it was nouser. anyways, here is the error from the connection being refused. http://paste.ubuntu.com/464216/
[21:29] <buddha_> in my pachage manager is only the teamspeak 2
[21:29] <Dr_Willis> fat00:  via the terminal is one way. 'sudo -s' then cd to /media/whatever/lost+found
[21:29] <buddha_> thats a big problem
[21:29] <belkinsa> Metal: Okay, sorry , nevermind.
[21:29] <MetalGeek_N00b> markben, Have you installed codecs?
[21:29] <neezer> belkinsa, buddah, i am nowhere near close to being german. just living in germany.
[21:29] <eremita> (bogdomania) ty
[21:29] <fat00> ok thx ill try now
[21:29] <bogdomania> np
[21:30] <MetalGeek_N00b> No worries, cheers anyway bel
[21:30] <markben> @MetalGeek: I have installed everything it's asked.  I can't even play the ogv video included in the Examples folder with 10.04 though.
[21:30] <markben> @MetalGeek: I did notice if I take a screenshot by pressing CTRL+s while in movie player I can see the video image.
[21:30] <figure002> buddha_: hmm, yes.. in that case, if you want the newest version, you do have to manually download it from a website ;)
[21:30] <Spanglish_7776> neezer is the server using udp or tcp protocol? on the config it looks like it's using udp it has to be the same on the server.
[21:31] <acovrig> I have a folder that I want user1,user2 to be able to read,write; does `chown -R user1:group dir` allow that given user1,user2 are both in that group?
[21:31] <markben> @MetalGeek: It's really weird!
[21:31] <MetalGeek_N00b> markben, did you install Ubuntu restricted extras?
[21:31] <MetalGeek_N00b> am noob so only an idea but i hope it can help
[21:32] <markben> @MetalGeek: I did install VLC from the software centre recently.  Would that of installed them?  I'll look in Synaptic and see if their installed...
[21:32] <piov> hi...cannot edit rp_filter...fsync error...any advice?
[21:33] <markben> @MetalGeek: Yes, I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:33] <belkinsa> Metal: Ditto.
[21:33] <MetalGeek_N00b> markben, You get them from the apt-get repository.  sudo apt-get install Ubuntu-restricted-extra
[21:33] <haro> I'm using 2.6.2 on an ubuntu 9.04 box, the optparse module doesn't appear to be avail. python.org said its part of the python stdlib
[21:33] <MetalGeek_N00b> sorry extras
[21:33] <haro> python 2.6.2*
[21:33] <MetalGeek_N00b> sorry, thats me outta ideas then, what type of video was it again
[21:34] <effowe> Hi: I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04 and am trying to learn more about /etc/rc*.d, runtimes, and startup processes. running sysv-rc-conf still shows packages that are no longer installed, can someone point me to a comprehensive guide / tutorial to removing unused startup processes from their runtime directories so that they no longer show up in sysv-rc-conf?
[21:34] <markben> @MetalGeek: No worries, I'm stumped too.  I've tried playing back .ogv, .mov, and .flc videos.
[21:34] <buddha_> how i install teamspeak 3?
[21:34] <markben> @MetalGeek: They seem to play the audio but it's like the compositing system isn't outputing the video onto the screen.
[21:34] <piov> any helpers for iptables multihomed routing?
[21:34] <belkinsa> Markben: Is just a movie file not a stream>
[21:35] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, I'm not too sure. The server isn't ubuntu....it is clearOS...it just has buttons to download the proper config and keys and certificates.
[21:35] <Spanglish_7776> buddha open a terminal and type apt-get install teamspeak
[21:35] <erUSUL> piov: define " multihomed routing "
[21:35] <piov> doing port based routing over two wan links
[21:35] <figure002> buddha_: just run the .run file like you said.
[21:35] <MetalGeek_N00b> i did fresh install just two days ago, Ubuntu 10.04, downloaded restricted extras and all is well, .mov definatly play, i think you need someone eith more linux experience
[21:35] <belkinsa> Or use Symthpaic Package Manger.
[21:35] <markben> @belkinsa: Correct.  I'm using /usr/share/example-content/Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase/UbuntuIsHumanity.ogv as my test file since it ships with Ubuntu 10.04
[21:36] <thatryan> anyone have recommendations for good editors to use in terminal? I use textmate everywhere locally, but for ssh i cant stand vi
[21:36] <trism> haro: it is, it is included with python by default, and is part of the python2.6-minimal package
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> effowe:  ubuntu is movuing to using upstart the use of rc* and  sysv is slowly getting phased out
[21:36] <haro> trism, exactly my problem :|
[21:36] <markben> @MetalGeek: Yeah, I can't figure out what's changed recently.  I swear this was working recently but I haven't watched any videos in a few weeks.
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> effowe:  many services are started from /etc/init  now
[21:36] <figure002> Spanglish_7776: he wants teamspeak 3, the repo has version 2
[21:36] <Spanglish_7776> neezer ah, hmmm.. I have a similar setup also, I use ebox and it has the option to download a zip with the config and keys, etc. hmmm..
[21:36] <racethesunlive> thatryan: nano is a lightweight fav of mine
[21:36] <effowe> dr_willis: any sort of guide I can read about this stuff?
[21:36] <Spanglish_7776> figure002 gotcha
[21:37] <trism> haro: does /usr/lib/python2.6/optparse.py exist?
[21:37] <markben> MetalGeek: Thank-you for the thoughts though.  I appreciate the help!
[21:37] <piov> erUSUL: may i pm....channel moving too quickly?
[21:37] <Spanglish_7776> buddha make sure the run file is marked as executable and run it.
[21:37] <thatryan> racethesunlive: thank you ill check it out
[21:37] <haro> trism, yes
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> effowe:  check the ubuntu wiki and forums for upstat guides.. short info.. all started from /etc/init, theres not really any runlevles. :) rename a /etc/init/whatever.conf to whatever.DONTRUN to disable a service
[21:37] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, I'm looking in the config file on my server, and I don't see anything about udp in there or tcp for that matter.
[21:37] <effowe> dr_willis: Thanks for the help :) am heading there now
[21:37] <alloosh> hi, I can access phppgadmin using localhost/phppgadmin but not using 192.168.1.30/phppgadmin any solution?
[21:38] <erUSUL> piov: well i think that "doing port based routing over two wan links" goes over my capavilities sorry
[21:38] <piov> erUSUL: Thanks
[21:38] <MetalGeek_N00b> markben, You said that you tried VLC and mplayer
[21:38] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, nvm, it says proto udp on the second line...right after port 1194
[21:38] <erUSUL> piov: maybe in #networkng ?
[21:38] <erUSUL> piov: or #ubuntu-server
[21:38] <trism> haro: in a python shell, import sys, "/usr/lib/python2.6" in sys.path should return true
[21:38] <Spanglish_7776> neezer I'm wondering if your router is not configured right
[21:38] <haro> trism, i found the problem
[21:39] <neezer> the server is in the dmz.
[21:39] <trism> haro: although, if it is not, then you have bigger problems, and python likely wouldn't work correctly
[21:39] <trism> haro: what was the problem?
[21:39] <haro> trism, thanks. had a bad character in the file
[21:39] <markben> MetalGeek: I tried VLC and totem.   Also tried out Banshee
[21:39] <haro> wasnt even being imported..
[21:39] <haro> :|
[21:39] <neezer> could the isp be blocking the port? i know they block any incomming on port 80...i have to run my website on 443 as an https site.
[21:39] <Spanglish_7776> neezer, I would assume anything not being forwarded would go to the dmz, there isn't a rule for forwarding port 1194 right?
[21:39] <neezer> nope.
[21:40] <neezer> there are no forwarding rules at all on the router. just the server on the dmz.
[21:40] <Spanglish_7776> neezer, change the port on the server conf and restart it and then change it on the client conf and try again
[21:40] <neezer> figured it would be easier than only forwarding specific ports.
[21:40] <MetalGeek_N00b> So dose anyone know it gparted is any good or would you suggest that i use the crerate a seperate home web page instructions
[21:41] <Dr_Willis> MetalGeek_N00b:  i always make a seperate /home/ parittion.. and gparted works very well..
[21:41] <Spanglish_7776> neezer that would answer the question if the port is being blocked.
[21:41] <MetalGeek_N00b> me stupid, live cd uses gparted dos'nt it? duh!!
[21:41] <ForestBear> hey guys what's the right channel to ask about security in?
[21:41] <MetalGeek_N00b> same thing sorry
[21:41] <ForestBear> security/penetration testing
[21:41] <lor> hi! I've noticed that ubuntu *alone* takes about 350MB of RAM. is this normal?
[21:42] <erUSUL> !ram | lor
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> MetalGeek_N00b:  never noticed.. the installer has its own partitioning tool. You can use any of them you want
[21:42] <torpedo> an/quit
[21:42] <racethesunlive> MetalGeek_N00b: gparted has worked fine for me in the past
[21:42] <MetalGeek_N00b> markben, Could be worth a try. I find Dr Willis in the main ubuntu room very helpfull also.
[21:42] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, any particular port that might be good? I'm trying 2223 cause I know that 2222 for my ssh is good.
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> lor:  what 'ubuntu alone' ? ubuntu is an operating system.. so that dosent make much sence ..
[21:42] <lor> Dr_Willis, a clean ubuntu setup
[21:42] <Spanglish_7776> neezer any port that is open (free) should be ok.
[21:43] <karshh> sup
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> lor:  so the operating system is using ram.... is that supriseing?
[21:43] <guntbert> ForestBear: try ##security
[21:43] <lor> Dr_Willis, just Gnome running, no firefox, anything. 350MB is too much
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> lor:  no its not.
[21:43] <belkinsa> Lor: Is it using to much?
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> lor:  see the 'linux ate my ram ' web site to learn how linux handles ram.
[21:43] <erUSUL> lor: what do you want your ram for? to sit there empty? free ram == wasted ram
[21:44] <lor> it's not cached ram
[21:44] <lor> it's used
[21:44] <belkinsa> lor: I have 310 MB of RAM use.d
[21:44] <belkinsa> It's normal.
[21:44] <Dr_Willis> and its been decided that  300+ is too much beause?
[21:45] <Misantropo>  is it possible to use my ubuntu desktop as a hands-free adapter for my BlackBerry?
[21:45] <Dr_Willis> Misantropo:  you mean as a speaker/mic ?
[21:45] <bogdomania> lor,  try sudo cat /proc/meminfo
[21:45] <lor> Dr_Willis, well I just have 768MB of ram on my PC
[21:45] <Misantropo> Dr_Willis, yes
[21:46] <Dr_Willis> Misantropo:  never heard of it being done. I would be suprised if it was doable.
[21:46] <TNSe> Thanks for help earlier.
[21:46] <Dr_Willis> lor:  there is xubuntu, and lubuntu for lower  end machines.
[21:47] <llutz> Misantropo: http://nohands.sourceforge.net/
[21:47] <markben> Dr_Willis: Any thoughts on why my video my playback but only render black where the video is supposed to be?  I've got the codecs installed, and am running on nvidia graphics drivers.
[21:47] <buddha_> hey
[21:47] <Misantropo> llutz, thanks, checking it out
[21:47]  * TNSe släps a trout around a bit with a large bogdomania!
[21:47] <laeg> once pulseaudio has been removed how does one bring up the alsa volume controls please? there's no longer any sound or volume option in prefs or admin. i think it's a terminal command, alsa-x, x being the unknown?
[21:47] <bogdomania> TNSe,  yes?
[21:47] <seidos> sometimes when I wake up from hibernate, my wireless doesn't work, and I have to restart.  I tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, sudo ifconfig wmaster0 down/up, and sudo rmmod ath5k and sudo modprobe ath5k but none of it keeps me from having to reboot.
[21:47] <TNSe> bogdomania, I didn't get it to work, but I solved my original problem. Just wanted to thank for help anyway1
[21:48] <belkinsa> Right click and enable Networking.
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> markben:  does it seem to be actually playing the video? making noise? run the video player from terminal, and look for error messages yet?
[21:48] <seidos> belkinsa, talking to me?
[21:48] <bogdomania> ok :)
[21:48] <belkinsa> Yes, Seidos.
[21:48] <bogdomania> you`re welcome
[21:48] <TNSe> Now I gotta buy a new harddisk tho
[21:48] <edward_92> speak italiy
[21:48] <TNSe> since S.M.A.R.T. claims its failing
[21:48] <oCean_> !it | edward_92
[21:48] <belkinsa> Sedios: If you have your icon on your panel.
[21:48] <bortreb> What is the accepted, portable way to include interpreter options in the shebang line, ie. how can I do something like (#!/usr/bin/env python -c) and get it to be parsed correctly?  Right now ubuntu seems to just glom the whole thing together.
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> TNSe:  ive noticed the smart warnings often.. well.. a little over senesitive.. however  it does pay to have backups. :)
[21:49] <seidos> belkinsa, tried that, doesn't work.  Also, when I do the command sudo ifconfig up I get this error:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/464224/
[21:49] <markben> Dr_Willis: It does seem to be playing yes.  I can hear audio and jump through the video.  I'll try looking for error messages on the console right now...
[21:49] <Spanglish_7776> neezer: I have to get going, good luck.
[21:49] <TNSe> Dr_Willis, yes. Todays mishap was due to double power outtage
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> markben:  last i saw somthing similer to that it was some sorrt of 'direct rendering' issue.
[21:49] <TNSe> power outtage during repair
[21:49] <TNSe> made it worse
[21:50] <ZykoticK9> markben, try changing your output x11/xv/gl and see if that changes anything
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> TNSe:  :() thunderstorms?
[21:50] <TNSe> yes
[21:50] <belkinsa> Seidos: Then I don't know what to do, sorr.
[21:50] <neezer> Spanglish_7776, it still isn't working...I think i might have an idea....the address in my config file looks wrong...it says server.neezer.poweredbyclear.com and i think that isn't getting my request to the server. when I change it to my proper domain, I get a different error message. Thanks Spanglish_7776. I have to get to bed now too anyways....
[21:50] <laeg> once pulseaudio has been removed how does one bring up the alsa volume controls please? there's no longer any sound or volume option in prefs or admin. i think it's a terminal command, alsa-x, x being the unknown? ubuntu 10.04
[21:50] <TNSe> But I finally got it fixed so now I can ... go sleep instead of doing what I was supposed to do 8 hours ago
[21:50] <ZykoticK9> laeg, "alsamixer"
[21:51] <markben> ZykoticK9: Can you elaborate a bit on that.  How do I change my output?  It does seem like a rendering problem as I'm able to see a screenshot of the current frame if I take a screenshot in totem.
[21:51] <TNSe> *sigh* >_<
[21:51] <TNSe> Anyway, thanks for the help here, beats the crap out of nearly anything else I've tried to get help on online :D
[21:51] <belkinsa> Markben: DO you know how to run the debug" command?
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> markben:  in the mplayer and vlc configs theres a 'video out' option. or use  (in mplauyer i think) the -vo XXXX option
[21:51] <ZykoticK9> markben, don't think it is possible with Totem - try mplayer or VLC for better results
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> markben:  i always use mplayer or vlc. i rarely bother with totem
[21:52] <markben> Dr_Willis, Zykotic: Trying in vlc right now.
[21:52] <TNSe> Now we just gotta get blizzard to make games native for linux and I can swap perma :P
[21:52] <laeg> ZykoticK9: ty, was trying alsa-mixer.
[21:53] <lovzan> hi evb
[21:53] <belkinsa> TNSe: Agree.
[21:53] <belkinsa> Agreed*
[21:54] <jiffe> anyone else running into issues with quotas becoming desynced from du ?
[21:54] <TNSe> D3 on a dedicated gaming machine with ubuntu would be niec.
[21:54] <jiffe> if I run quotacheck it fixes it, but I've had to do this a couple times now
[21:56] <brack10> Hi
[21:56] <buddha_> hi
[21:57] <brack10> I'm trying to setup a syslog server on Ubundu for my Cisco devices.  I've installed syslogd, and in syslogd.conf I've added "local7.*                        /var/log/cisco.log".  I enabled logging on my cisco device and when I tcpdump I see local7 packets coming through on my eth0 interface OK.  However they're not showing up in cisco.log
[21:57] <brack10> Anyone know why?
[21:57] <brack10> or how I can begin to troubleshoot?
[21:58] <Misantropo> llutz, thanks, i have to restart for my blue tooth adapter to work, but thanks, the app seems to be what i want
[21:58] <Theaxiom> how do I find out which is the current video driver loaded?
[21:58] <Theaxiom> anyone?
[21:59] <Theaxiom> I need to know which display driver is currently loaded
[21:59] <guntbert> jiffe: if I remember correctly you have to run quotacheck via cron regularly (but that was long ago for me, so I might err)
[21:59] <bogdomania> check the xorg.conf file
[21:59] <bogdomania> see wich one is loaded
[21:59] <ZykoticK9> Theaxiom, "lspci -vnvn" and find the VGA section then the line "Kernel driver in use:"
[21:59] <Theaxiom> bogdomania, there is not one
[21:59] <oCean_> brack10: might sound silly, but after changing syslog, you restarted syslogd, right?
[21:59] <markben> Dr_Willis, Zykotic: The video plays back when I choose X11, or OpenGL video.  Default and GNU/Linux framebuffer just display black.
[22:00] <jiffe> guntbert: I was talking with someone who runs slackware who doesn't have to do this though
[22:00] <brack10> oCean_: Yeah I did
[22:00] <jiffe> guntbert: so I'm not sure whats different and why I would need to
[22:00] <ZykoticK9> markben, just use OpenGL
[22:00] <markben> Dr_Willis, Zykotic: Is there a setting I can change so this affects the whole system?
[22:00] <jiffe> guntbert: it seems like a major hack to have to run quotacheck, there's no reason for that in a working system
[22:00] <brack10> I basically followed this tutorial http://www.aboutdebian.com/syslog.htm
[22:00] <markben> Zykotic: OK, I've set VLC of OpenGL
[22:00] <oCean_> brack10: ok, and syslogd is enabled to listen -r ?
[22:00] <brack10> except I did local7.*
[22:01] <brack10> oCean_: Yeah
[22:01] <ZykoticK9> !tab > markben
[22:01] <brack10> SYSLOGD="-r -m0"
[22:01] <bogdomania> ZykoticK9, try with lsmod
[22:01] <jalexbrown> Has anyone noticed a bug where your Empathy contact list stops updating after you're logged in for so long?
[22:02] <bogdomania> it should be listed
[22:02] <guntbert> jiffe: as I said, that was several years ago on a suse system - so just take it as a starting point
[22:02] <Kream> anyone here use Munin?
[22:02] <oCean_> brack10: ok. Using 'logger' you could do some testing. Like "logger -p local7.info this is a test"
[22:02] <guntbert> !anyone | Kream
[22:02] <ZykoticK9> bogdomania, wrong person i think.
[22:03] <jiffe> I guess I'm looking for pointers as to what I might be doing wrong that would cause the quota count to become desynced and what I might do to fix it
[22:03] <bogdomania> sry , that was for Theaxiom
[22:03] <jiffe> besides running quotacheck
[22:04] <Eventyret> is anyone know a fix for a nforce smbus error at boot ?
[22:04] <brack10> oCean_: That worked...
[22:04] <karamorf> in terminal, how can I pass the function keys (F1-F12) through?
[22:04] <oCean_> brack10: hmm.. but not from the cisco equipment? That's strange
[22:04] <brack10> oCean_: Yeah.  I see the packets hitting clear as day
[22:05] <jalexbrown> Is there a way to log out and log back in but save all the windows that were opne?
[22:05] <jalexbrown> *open?
[22:05] <brack10> 14:04:05.283701 IP X.X.X.X.58021 > myserver.syslog: SYSLOG local7.notice, length: 102
[22:05] <Eventyret> jalexbrown: you mean in terminal sorry to ask ?
[22:06] <jalexbrown> Eventyret: It doesn't matter if it's terminal or not.
[22:06] <oCean_> brack10: thinking here... how to trace where those packets end up :s
[22:06] <brack10> oCean_: I can dump the whole packet and load it up in wireshark I guess
[22:07] <Eventyret> jalexbrown: oh well im using irssi so :) then i can just use /set but then again i dunno on normal linux :P
[22:07] <Eventyret> oh uhm jalexbrown
[22:07] <jalexbrown> oCean_: I haven't been reading all the posts, but would traceroute work?
[22:08] <oCean_> brack10: Indeed. Also, could you test from a non-cisco client? e.g. an ubuntu box, you could try the logger tool there
[22:08] <oCean_> jalexbrown: nope, it's about remote syslogd
[22:08] <jalexbrown> Oh, okay...nevermind then...carry on.  :P
[22:09] <brack10> oCean_: alright I'll try
[22:10] <markben> I've got video playback working in VLC now by selecting the OpenGL output.  Does anyone know how to change the video output for the entire desktop to default to OpenGL so that totem and other video players will also work?
[22:11] <mmestnik> Hello, I have a system that will only run in text modes and I'd like to set it up as an XDMCP server using gdm.  However gdm seams to want to also install the xserver.  What can I do?
[22:11] <BadElvis> hi, how can i make these overlays on the screen appear when i adust brightness or volume of my notebook?
[22:11] <bogdomania> markben, what graphic card are you using? nvidia by any chance?
[22:11] <mmestnik> Is there a gdm-nox11server?
[22:11] <jalexbrown> Okay, does anyone know what the 10.04 equivalent of System -> Preferences -> Session would be?
[22:12] <Monty> BadElvis, libnotify-osd, i use them for phone call and other notifications on my htpc when watching tv...could give you my script
[22:12] <mmestnik> jalexbrown: I think the UI for that was removed when the backend was changed and the tool just never got ported over.
[22:13] <jalexbrown> I found what I was looking for.
[22:13] <jalexbrown> I was looking for session saving.
[22:13] <brack10> oCean_: How do you use logger to send to another host?
[22:13] <BadElvis> Monty: thanks, if i only use it for standard overlays is there also need for scripting?
[22:14] <Monty> BadElvis,  no, it's just a cli call
[22:14] <rocket161> How to integrate Project M visualization with Alsaplayer or Totem? I have installed XBMC, and it works nicely there.
[22:14] <oCean_> brack10: you would have to change the /etc/syslog.conf on that client. Where /var/log/messages is, you have to write @hostname
[22:15] <BadElvis> Monty: i will take a look at it. strange, some older version of ubuntu had this already installed, i think. maybe it was dropped.
[22:16] <spaniardg> where can I find a good walkthrough on creating a multiple boot usb drive with different linux distros
[22:16] <Monty> BadElvis, I wrote a script some time ago, because there were some session-problems with dbus... i'll pastebin it...mom
[22:16] <Glaucous> Do anyone know a way to underclock an ATI graphics card as much as you want? Ubuntu 10.04
[22:17] <markben> Thx for all the help everyone.  Ubuntu is a great community. :)
[22:18] <rocket161> How to view Project M visualisation for sound without using XBMC?
[22:19] <belkinsa> Markben: It's and I am glad you are a part of it.
[22:19] <BadElvis> Monty: ah, i seem to have libnotify1 and notify-osd. so maybe i have it already installed and only need to make it start automatically
[22:19] <masen> the best way to use projectM is to compile it yourself and then use the projectM-pulseaudio app
[22:19] <jalex_brown> Are there any scripting/programming gurus in here?
[22:19] <masen> rocket161: this helped me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=749793
[22:20] <guntbert> jalex_brown: this is not a programming channel
[22:20] <belkinsa> !anyone jalex_brown
[22:20] <Ddorda> can anyone recommend me a  good tool to remind me for meetings?
[22:20] <rocket161> masen: Thanks a lot friend, :) I am checking it oit.
[22:20] <rocket161> * out
[22:21] <YromrakS> ok i have a live-cd of gparted
[22:21] <jalex_brown> Ddorda: Doesn't 10.04 feature that in the built-in calendar?
[22:21] <YromrakS> do i need to format my usb into ntfs before it will work?
[22:21] <_Richie_>  /msg NickServ identify rasrichi
[22:21] <Layt> heya. i was runnin karmic for a while, just upgraded to lucid from the package manager, and after the restart everything is borked
[22:22] <Ddorda> jalex_brown: i believe it does but never tried it. are you talking about evolution? or tomboy?
[22:22] <oCean_> _Richie_: oops!
[22:22] <Layt> everything. where do i go from here?
[22:22] <Monty> BadElvis, http://pastebin.com/qUe481bt
[22:22] <oCean_> _Richie_: better change passwords
[22:23] <jalex_brown> Ddorda: I was talking about if you just click on the date/time in your toolbar.
[22:23] <YromrakS> i formatted my usb to ntfs, then deleted it then formated to fat32, now it doesn't want to let me format to ntfs..  i allready unmounted it :X
[22:23] <jalex_brown> Which apparently links to Evolution.
[22:23] <AnxiousNut> What dows this mean? E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list (dist parse)
[22:23] <Ddorda> jalex_brown: i don't use the panels so i don't have that tool
[22:24] <jalex_brown> Do you have Evolution?
[22:24] <masen> AnxiousNut: what does line one of that file say?
[22:24] <YromrakS> Gm4n i need help with gparted
[22:24] <masen> it could be referring to a different distro than your current one
[22:24] <Ddorda> jalex_brown: i have but i don't use it
[22:25] <Gm4n> YromrakS: I'm no huge expert, but I can try and help. what's up?
[22:25] <Monty> BadElvis, for use with icons I call it: notify.sh -i totem-tv "message". The DBUS stuff may only be needed when using it outside the current x-session. i  guess  you then have to set the diisplay in term
[22:25] <YromrakS> gm4n i had a fat32 usb that i turned into a ntfs, then i deleted it, and formated it into fat32
[22:26] <brack10> oCean_: So I did local7.*                                @X.X.X.X for the IP of the syslogd computer, but they're not showing up in tcpdump.  Did I do that right?
[22:26] <AnxiousNut> masen: im actually not sure, im helping a guy who doesnt know english on a forum, i just need to know what it means, and what "dist parse" mean
[22:26] <YromrakS> gm4n i unmounted it and it doesn't want to let me turn it into a ntfs again
[22:26] <Gm4n> YromrakS: you shouldn't need to use gparted for that, you're just trying to reformat a single partition
[22:26] <jalex_brown> Ddorda: Try RedNotebook.  I've not used it myself, but it looks good from screenshots.  Might be what you want.
[22:27] <Ddorda> jalex_brown: thanks, i will :)
[22:27] <mIKEjONES> is it normal for the taskbar to disappear forever after I change the resolution?
[22:27] <YromrakS> gm4n i'm noob, where would i reformat a single partition
[22:27] <masen> AnxiousNut: i believe it referres to the distribution that you're trying to get code for. Each line in an APT src file has: deb uri distribution var1 var2
[22:28] <ozzloy> how do i tell what video driver i'm using?
[22:28] <YromrakS> gm4n i think i found it
[22:28] <Gm4n> YromrakS: I'm not really much of an ubuntu user, and I don't run my linux systems with GUIs. So I can only tell you how to do things from a commandline
[22:28] <Alonea> I have a question? Why do I have to manually set my audio to microphone? why doesn't it detect this and automatically turn my speakers off and put sound through the headphones? i have to go to sound pref, output, and choose connector
[22:28] <YromrakS> k
[22:28] <oCean_> brack10: don't think so. I tried the same: on the client in /etc/syslog.conf, around line 39 or 40 there is /var/log/messages ("Some catch-all logfiles"). I changed /var/log/messages to @mysysloghost, restarted syslog, and my testmessages shows up in tcpdump *and* in the file specified for local7.*
[22:28] <Gm4n> do you understand the difference between a partition and a filesystem?
[22:28] <masen> if the file has distribution as lucid, but the system is running karmic it wont work
[22:28] <BadElvis> Monty: thanks for the script
[22:29] <Alonea> ack, headpones, not microphone
[22:29] <AnxiousNut> masen, but ir should work if it was on lucid but written of karmic, right?
[22:30] <maco> Alonea: because that's a driver bug which you should file by running "ubuntu-bug -s audio"
[22:30] <webPragmatist> anyone have experience with creating startup scripts
[22:30] <brack10> oCean_: oh ok I'm doing it too lwo
[22:30] <brack10> low*
[22:31] <webPragmatist> i'm trying to retrofit http://www.server-world.info/en/CentOS_5/lsync/1.html
[22:31] <webPragmatist> to ubuntu
[22:32] <Alonea> maco: ok, which of the 4 options should I choose? will there be a box to describe whats wrong?
[22:32] <Monty_> BadElvis, did it help you? the sudo call was just to make sure that the currently in x  logged user is used
[22:32] <preecher> when i go to gnome-look to get some ubuntu themes i dont see any all i see is in the list gtk1 gtks metacity and etc--will any of these work with ubuntu?
[22:32] <maco> Alonea: what are the options it gives? and yes itll eventually take you to a web browser to type an explanation. the options determine what hardware info it sends to the bug tracker
[22:33] <npx> hey guys, how can I get to the grub boot menu? I accidentally removed my user from sudoers
[22:33] <npx> and 10.04 boots insanely fast hahah
[22:33] <melfy> npx: su root, and put in your root pw
[22:33] <melfy> :P
[22:33] <npx> i haven't set one
[22:33] <melfy> then try blank?
[22:34] <npx> no, the root account isn't enable
[22:34] <bogdomania> :)
[22:34] <npx> i need to do "init 1" or boot into single user
[22:34] <melfy> :/
[22:34] <npx> i need to get to the grub menu
[22:34] <Monty_> npx: use a live cd and put you back into sudoers
[22:34] <Alonea> maco: Playback does not work, or is cracking, Surround playback problem, recording does not work properly, sound problem with one or a few applications only
[22:34] <guntbert> !noroot | melfy
[22:35] <melfy> maybe i should disable mine =x
[22:35] <maco> Alonea: go for the first one
[22:35] <bogdomania> Alonea, try building your own audio driver with module-assistant
[22:35] <mIKEjONES> my taskbar moved onto a non-existant monitor
[22:35] <mIKEjONES> how can I get it back?
[22:35] <npx> will a 9.04 boot CD read an ext4 fs?
[22:35] <uRock> npx, yes
[22:35] <npx> okay cool
[22:36] <bogdomania> mIKEjONES, what?
[22:36] <npx> and I add myself to the sudoers group?
[22:36] <npx> rather than editing the sudoers file directly...?
[22:36] <sebsebseb> npx: no
[22:36] <mIKEjONES> bogdomania: I have a laptop monitor configuration
[22:36] <uRock> not sure about that
[22:36] <VCoolio> preecher: go for gtk2, metacity is window borders but a lot of gtk2 include them
[22:36] <sebsebseb> npx: actsually probably just about since Ext4 was optional with 9.04
[22:36] <bogdomania> ok..
[22:36] <mIKEjONES> where ubuntu has made the other monitor port the primary display
[22:36] <guntbert> npx: see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[22:36] <sebsebseb> npx: ,but not properly stable since kernel and such
[22:37] <Alonea> bogdomania: is there a page with info on that?
[22:37] <mIKEjONES> I have nothing hooked up to it so I can't really do much to fix my monitor
[22:37] <bogdomania> Alonea, yes
[22:37] <bogdomania> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticModuleAssistant
[22:37] <Monty_> npx: it depends on your sudoers file, if the group sudo is configured there, then it could help to add youu to the group sudo, otherwise add your user to the sudoers file
[22:37] <preecher> VCoolio-thx
[22:38] <mIKEjONES> ok nvm xrandr fixed it
[22:38] <VCoolio> preecher: if you get metacity or gtk2 without borders you need to hit customize in the appearance window to find and select them
[22:38] <bogdomania> mIKEjONES, ok, be more specific
[22:39] <preecher> VCoolio oh ok
[22:39] <Alonea> bogdomania: thanks, I will take a look at that after I finish the bug report
[22:40] <EvilTrek> i'm getting an error with "locale", and things not being found.  where is this information stored for it?
[22:41] <mIKEjONES> bogdomania: 2 monitors, 1 is a real monitor, 1 is just a port, ubuntu made the port without a real monitor hooked up to it the primary display
[22:41] <bogdomania> ok..just a sec
[22:41] <mIKEjONES> bogdomania: I fixed it though
[22:41] <mIKEjONES> used xrandr to turn off the other display
[22:42] <jalex_brown> Does anyone know of a way that I can automatically log out and log back in at a set time like say 4am?
[22:42] <BadElvis> monty_: hm, i dont know what to do with it. i dont need notification for calls only for volume and broghtness and stuff
[22:42] <sebsebseb> jalex_brown: not sure about the auto log back in, but you can auto log out
[22:42] <sebsebseb> !info gshutdown
[22:42] <bogdomania> mIKEjONES, gnome , kde? what version?
[22:42] <mIKEjONES> 10.04 gnome
[22:42] <maco> jalex_brown: you could have a cron script to restart gdm at 4am, and setup autologin for your user
[22:42] <YromrakS> so to format my primary hard drive i need a live cd of gparted on a fat32 usb..  let's hope this works...
[22:43] <bogdomania> are you sure,you didn`t deleted the panel?
[22:43] <thune3> jalex_brown: is there another issue which you are trying to solve with logout/login as a workaround?
[22:44] <mIKEjONES> bogdomania: yes, re read what I've said. the problem's been fixed
[22:44] <mIKEjONES> it was an issue with primary / secondary display settings
[22:44] <jalex_brown> thune3: Well I've just noticed there seem to be several bugs when I go too long without logging out.
[22:44] <YromrakS> good luck to me :X
[22:44] <bogdomania> i did, but it sounds strange what you said
[22:44] <jalex_brown> thune3: My Empathy contact list will freeze up for one thing.  For another after a while, if I log out and log back in, the screen will be blank.
[22:45] <Monty_> BadElvis, ah..k...is the "notify-osd" daemon installed and running?
[22:45] <jalex_brown> thune3: Well, the screen thing could have been a one-time fluke, because it's only happened once.
[22:45] <anthon> hello and good evening. can any one tell me the adress of danish ubuntu irc chat?
[22:45] <mIKEjONES> is there a way to change gdm's resolution?
[22:46] <mIKEjONES> dpkg-reconfigure doesn't output anything
[22:46] <guntbert> !dk | anthon
[22:46] <belkinsa> Anthon: Try #ubuntu-de
[22:46] <belkinsa> Okay, I guess it was dk.
[22:46] <BadElvis> monty_ no
[22:46] <guntbert> belkinsa: wrong
[22:46] <guntbert> belkinsa: :)
[22:47] <anthon> thank you every body:)
[22:47] <appleseed> Oh dear me, in Ubuntu Maverick I can't get my wireless router (dhcp server) to successfully complete a DHCP transaction. I've disabled IPv6, but still I get "No DHCPOFFERS received", and my wlan0 works perfectly on Kubuntu Lucid and W7. My config files are exactly the same between the working Kubuntu Lucid and the Ubuntu Maverick, why am I having the DHCP issues?
[22:47] <mIKEjONES> is it true that only niggers are allowed to develop ubuntu?
[22:47] <rsk> oh wow
[22:47] <sebsebseb> !meverick | appleseed
[22:47] <thune3> jalex_brown: if you just kill/close empathy and restart it, does that not solve the problem?
[22:47] <Jordan_U> !ops | mIKEjONES
[22:47] <oCean_> mIKEjONES: stop immediately
[22:47] <sebsebseb> !10.10 | appleseed
[22:48] <maco> !maverick | appleseed
[22:48] <jalex_brown> thune3: No, I tried that and it didn't fix it.
[22:48] <jalex_brown> thune3: When I killed it and re-launched it, the contact list was still the same as before.  When I log out and log back in, it will then be right.
[22:48] <CakeProphet> Hello. I noticed when I switched upgraded to lucid that the volume control was removed from the panel. Is this intentional? How can I get it back?
[22:48] <thune3> jalex_brown: you close it from the applet?
[22:49] <jalex_brown> thune3: No, I killed it from the System Monitor.
[22:49] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: uh what, what did they do?
[22:49] <appleseed> lol, I'd thought they must've made networking stable by now; I'll go install Ubuntu Lucid then, and God forbid I get the same issues there, then I'm coming back to rant! thx
[22:49] <guntbert> sebsebseb:
[22:49] <guntbert> sorry
[22:50] <nicofs> can anyone help me with my 3g modem? i can't connect anymore. i'm trying sakis 3g atm, but it doesn't work... neither does wvdial ("invalid dial command"). I need help. i need that connection to work 2morrow...
[22:50] <jalex_brown> nicofs: What modem is it?
[22:50] <Alonea> question, this module assistant thing? can I use this so it will automatically rebuild my wireless drivers each kernel update? I have to compile drivers from http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 for my wireless to work correctly
[22:51] <nicofs> jalex_brown: Huawei EM770 - and it is recognized as such...
[22:51] <brack10> ok I figured out my syslogd problem.  Sort of.  I foolishly installed syslog-ng and then removed it, but it looks like it's still running.  I've done apt-get purge and apt-get autoclean.   Do I have to start manually removing stuff?
[22:51] <Monty_> BadElvis, did you try to reinstall the package notify-osd?
[22:51] <jalex_brown> nicofs: What version of Ubuntu?
[22:52] <nicofs> jalex_brown: latest with updates and all
[22:52] <jalex_brown> nicofs: Latest stable (10.04) or latest unstable (10.10)?
[22:52] <nicofs> jalex_brown: stable
[22:53] <jalex_brown> nicofs: Did you check to see if there were any newer drivers available?
[22:54] <nicofs> jalex_brown: how can i do that apart from google?
[22:54] <Zenith881> if lucid lynx does not show grub menu and does not boot after installing a new kernel, how can I get into grub menu to select the old kernel?
[22:54] <test34> nicofs, bing?
[22:54] <nicofs> test34 bing?
[22:54] <BadElvis> monty_ i will, just a sec
[22:54] <test34> nicofs, they will even give you 3$ for charity
[22:55] <Jordan_U> Zenith881: Hold shift during boot.
[22:55] <Zenith881> @Jordan: tried that, same thing - black screen, some crunching of HDD and silence
[22:56] <jalex_brown> nicofs: Is the modem built into a laptop?
[22:56] <nicofs> jalex_brown: yes
[22:57] <Jordan_U> Zenith881: Though the menu is supposed to show automatically after a failed boot. (i.e. if grub loads the kernel but init doesn't get to a certain point to clear a failure flag, the next boot the menu is supposed to show and not time out so you can select a different kernel/options)
[22:57] <jalex_brown> nicofs: What is the manufacturer/model of the laptop>?
[22:57] <Zenith881> tried many times, still same result
[22:58] <nicofs> jalex_brown: Acer Aspire One 532h, Atom N270 1,66GHz
[22:59] <thune3> jalex_brown: it look like empathy opens an instance of evolution-data-server to deal with contact list. Your problem might be evolution related.
[23:00] <jalex_brown> nicofs: Scroll down to huawei081126.sh.zip on this site...
[23:00] <jalex_brown> http://www.acer.com/aspireone/support/files/connect.html
[23:01] <jalex_brown> thune3: So maybe killing the evolution-data-server along with Empathy would fix it?
[23:04] <Monty_> BadElvis, I have to go now...
[23:07] <BadElvis> monty_hall:  thanks fpr thehelp
[23:07] <notamea> Hello new to this how does this work
[23:07] <Layt> the 10.04 upgrade borked my whole system. x doesnt even start. where should i start my troubleshooting?
[23:07] <rsk> with a seriel console
[23:08] <mari_> hello
[23:08] <valbaca> Notema its a chat. Ask for help
[23:08] <bastid_raZor> Layt: .xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:08] <mari_> im new
[23:08] <Alonea> Layt: with a stiff drink as well
[23:08] <nicofs> jalex_brown: ok, i installed the script and rebooted - no change...
[23:08] <notamea> Thank you
[23:08] <Layt> bastid_raZor, ty
[23:09] <cpu> im having some problems getting 10.04 to connect to a pptp vpn thats running on 10.04 server
[23:09] <cpu> no matter what i do, the connection fails
[23:09] <Zenith88> Jordan_U: Could it be that grub menu does not show because it's in graphics and my video card Radeon 9200 is not supported?
[23:09] <notamea> I need help I instaled Ubuntu 10.04 and I cant find my droid phone please help
[23:10] <Layt> notemea, after you accept the mount from the phone, it should show up mounted in /media
[23:10] <jalex_brown> nicofs: Hm...
[23:10] <Layt> that is, have to say 'make available' from the phone after you plug it in, then mount
[23:10] <jalex_brown> nicofs: I'm not sure then.  I've done some Google searches, but can't find any good explanation or solution..
[23:10] <Jordan_U> Zenith88: No.
[23:11] <notamea> It goes stright to media not my computer
[23:11] <nicofs> jalex_brown: what's really weird is, is that wvdial returns "invalid dial command"...
[23:11] <ChogyDan> what is the latest kernel version?
[23:11] <nicofs> Is anyone here familiar with Sakis3G?
[23:12] <luka_> !list
[23:12] <luka_> list!
[23:12] <Oer> my current kernel 64 bit is 2.6.32-23 ChogyDan
[23:12] <ChogyDan> Oer: yeah, I thought -23 was the latest, but I've seen a few references to -24
[23:13] <ChogyDan> thanks
[23:13] <notamea> Thank you
[23:13] <Zenith88> Jordan_U: then I guess the only way is to boot from a distro dvd and edit out the new kernel menu. is there a live DVD for lucid? I don't have any CD-R media.
[23:13] <nerdy_kid> i am looking for a terminal emulator that will allow having 4 terminals split side by side -- preferably for kde. thanks :)
[23:13] <VCoolio> nerdy_kid: terminator or any other using tmux
[23:14] <mneptok> nerdy_kid: terminator
[23:14] <adjurata> hello
[23:15] <adjurata> does anyone know how i can generate an xorg.conf?
[23:16] <nerdy_kid> mneptok thats gtk and requires 28 mb of space to install :-|
[23:16] <adjurata> i have to change my gdm login screen resolution?
[23:16] <adjurata> is that still possible under Ubuntu?
[23:17] <ZykoticK9> adjurata, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file
[23:17] <scrooloose> lol @ terminator, best name ever?
[23:18] <VCoolio> nerdy_kid: use what terminal you like and run tmux in it, sort of a window manager for terminal, you can split horizontally and vertically any way you see fit
[23:18] <mneptok> nerdy_kid: so why not ask in #kubuntu?
[23:18] <nicofs> please... anyone... there must be some way to get my 3g modem going...
[23:19] <adjurata> the X -configure config file does not work
[23:19] <Bonkers> anybody know how a user can find his Xauthority file in ubuntu lucid? I know it's in /var/run/gdm/auth-for-<user>*/database, but I can't seem to figure out how to fetch that exact path being only a user and not root, my user has permission to read the database file, but not find its location
[23:20] <trism> Bonkers: echo $XAUTHORITY;
[23:20] <Bonkers> trism: so I hear, but if I'm just sshing in, that environment variable is not set
[23:21] <Bonkers> I've thought about putting "echo $XAUTHORITY > ~/.xauth-location" in my .xprofile but that seems a bit roundabout
[23:21] <trism> Bonkers: you shouldn't need to access it directly then, but you can do: xauth extract $HOME/.Xauthority $DISPLAY; although you will need to figure out the correct display, since it won't be set either
[23:22] <trism> Bonkers: you should only need to set DISPLAY in lucid, I haven't had the xauth issues that I had with karmic over ssh
[23:23] <lulzim> Anyone can tell me how can i resume AIGLX?
[23:23] <Bonkers> trism: I'm trying to start up x11vnc for my user, it was easy enough in karmic since my user at +rX on /var/run/gdm
[23:24] <Bonkers> xauth extract can't find display ':0', hrm
[23:24] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: are you available to continue helping me today?
[23:24] <judget>  why does Ubuntu 10.04 create a small extended partition is that for grub?
[23:25] <iromli> hi guys, can i have cron task for my account (not sudo user) ?

[23:25] <Bonkers> nor can it find :0.0
[23:25] <Flare183> dekushrub: please pastebin the exact message
[23:25] <iromli> Flare183: i have crontab -e and wrote something there. ... is there any next steps?
[23:25] <Bonkers> I don't know why I put myself through the pain of upgrading
[23:25] <adjurata> I'm already root
[23:26] <Flare183> iromli: What editor are you using, and if you don't know what I
[23:26] <lulzim> Guys Can Anyone Tell me How to Resume AIGLX ??
[23:26] <Flare183> iromli: I'm talking about, then screenshot it
[23:26] <lulzim> does anyne know?
[23:26] <iromli> Flare183: it's nano

[23:27] <Hasanibrahim> what's the best way installing windows on ubuntu without a live cd ?
[23:27] <iromli> Flare183: yes, i did that .. just wanna know is there any next step?
[23:27] <Flare183> iromli: nope, cron will do the rest
[23:27] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: so, I've done nothing to it since last night. I have the boot disc. Is there anything else you need me to get?
[23:27] <Bonkers> man, now I can't type shift-<anything> over vnc, it's just lowercase
[23:27] <iromli> Flare183: ok, thanks
[23:27] <Hasanibrahim> what's the best way installing windows on ubuntu without a live cd ? i have installed ubuntu on windows but now windows has some problems (as always) so i need to reinstall windows so what do you advice me to do it ?
[23:28] <Flare183> Hasanibrahim: install windows, then ubuntu, and don't use wubi
[23:28] <Flare183> iromli: no problem
[23:28] <gogeta> Hasanibrahim: oh without killing grub thats a good one
[23:28] <Hasanibrahim> Flare183: i don't want to reinstall ubuntu
[23:28] <lulzim> Does anyone know how can i resume AIGLX ??
[23:28] <gogeta> Hasanibrahim: your gonna need some sort of a live cd
[23:28] <Flare183> Hasanibrahim: if you partitioned it correctly then you won't have to
[23:29] <gogeta> Flare183: he still wold need to restore grub
[23:29] <Flare183> gogeta: not if he installs winblows first
[23:29] <gogeta> Hasanibrahim: then you missed what he said
[23:29] <Hasanibrahim> is not there anyway restoring grub on windows?
[23:29] <gogeta> Flare183: then you missed what he said
[23:29] <Flare183> !grub | Hasanibrahim
[23:30] <gogeta> Flare183: he has ubuntu installed
[23:30] <gogeta> Flare183: he whats to install windows without losing data
[23:30] <Flare183> gogeta: Well if he partitioned it right, then we won't loose anything
[23:30] <adjurata> is it possible to change gdm's resolution?
[23:30] <dekushrub> Flare183, do you know anything about that error?
[23:30] <gogeta> Flare183: grub still would need to be restord
[23:31] <Flare183> dekushrub: if you sudo mkdir the folders one buy one then it should work
[23:31] <gogeta> Flare183: if you do ubuntu then windows windows overwrites grub
[23:31] <Flare183> gogeta: I know that >.<
[23:31] <Flare183> ugh
[23:31] <Bonkers> anyone know why every time I type shift-<something> over x11vnc, I get a KeyRelease for shift right before <something> and a KeyPress for shift right after <something> effectively making it impossible to type special characters or uppercase?
[23:31] <Hasanibrahim> gogeta: is there any way to restore grub on windows ?
[23:31] <nicofs> Can anyone help me troubleshoot my 3g modem? how can i find out, what network manager is doing durin dial-up and why it aborts?
[23:32] <dekushrub> Flare183, I just tried that, when I type sudo nautilus, nothing happens
[23:32] <Flare183> dekushrub: Your not doing it right then
[23:32] <gogeta> Hasanibrahim: yes grub4dos but the live cd would work best thers a supergrub live cd that does it guided
[23:32] <dekushrub> Flare183, what do you want me to do? I've never had this problem with ubuntu before
[23:32] <Flare183> dekushrub: sudo mkdir /root && sudo mkdir /root/.config && sudo mkdir /root/.config/nautilus/
[23:33] <webPragmatist> how can i make a init.d script start at boot
[23:33] <dekushrub> Flare183, that's exactly what I did. Nautilus no longer gives me the error but it just won't open as root
[23:33] <gogeta> Hasanibrahim: oh yea and the grub4win gui
[23:33] <seidos> webPragmatist, I think you need to put a link in /etc/rc*
[23:33] <webPragmatist> seidos: which rc* though?
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  this is a script you made?
[23:33] <Flare183> dekushrub: hmmm sounds like some permissions are messed up
[23:33] <Hasanibrahim> thankyou gogeta and Flare183.i  have found a documant "Recovery  using Microsoft Windows and Its Bootloader"
[23:33] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  runlevel 2 is the default
[23:33] <seidos> webPragmatist, I'm not sure.  Maybe it doesn't matter?
[23:33] <webPragmatist> Dr_Willis: yea
[23:33] <gogeta> Hasanibrahim: but you will have to manuly add thelines
[23:34] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  you may want to learn to do things the upstart way then.
[23:34] <dekushrub> Flare183, yeah, but I don't know how. I clean installed this like a week ago
[23:34] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  or just start the script from /etc/rc.local
[23:34] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  see /etc/init for upstart init scripts
[23:34] <dekushrub> Flare183, I also can't do su for some reason
[23:34] <Flare183> dekushrub: you must have done something wrong massively then
[23:34] <gogeta> dekushrub: cant su?
[23:34] <webPragmatist> Dr_Willis: what do you mean upstart way? … i just followed http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-/etc/init.d for the most part and was able to use the start-stop-daemon thingy ant it worked :)
[23:34] <Flare183> dekushrub: you don't use su on ubuntu, you use sudo -i
[23:34] <Flare183> because of this reason:
[23:35] <Flare183> !root
[23:35] <gogeta> LOL
[23:35] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  ubuntu is slowly getting away from usign the sysv init system. and is using 'upstart' now.
[23:35] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  so that guide is proberly a bit out of date for ubnuntu.
[23:35] <dekushrub> Flare183, thanks for that tip
[23:35] <Flare183> dekushrub: No problem
[23:35] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  with each release fewer and fewer services use the sysv methods.
[23:35] <webPragmatist> Dr_Willis: well do you have something else i can read? or an example?
[23:35] <dekushrub> Flare183, nautilus still doesn't work there. I have no idea why. every other program works fine
[23:35] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  look at the scripts in /etc/init
[23:36] <Dr_Willis> webPragmatist:  and check the ubuntu forums/wiki pages for upstart docs. I only dable with it a little.
[23:36] <Dr_Willis> !upstart
[23:36] <Jordan_U> Does anyone know what path wubi uses for its root.disk image file?
[23:36] <Phun5tar> Every time I start my Kubuntu desktop, I get three terminals and Chrome upon startup
[23:36] <Flare183> dekushrub: I don't know, the only thing I can think of is that you've messed with something really badly
[23:37] <gogeta> Phun5tar: did you shutdown like that
[23:37] <Phun5tar> no
[23:37] <dekushrub> Flare183, alright thanks. I know I didn't mess with anything though. I guess I'll just reinstall
[23:37] <Flare183> mm
[23:37] <Flare183> hmm*
[23:37] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Once I figure out the path to the disk image file wubi uses I can give you instructions for getting wubi booting again.
[23:37] <Phun5tar> it's been occurring since my kernel update
[23:37] <Phun5tar> however, I had a similar problem before that
[23:37] <gogeta> Phun5tar: maybe its loading a saved session like that
[23:37] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: ok. thank you.
[23:37] <Phun5tar> that's what I was thinking, but I don't recall ever having three terminals and Chrome up
[23:38] <Phun5tar> even so, how would I change/revert this?
[23:38] <webPragmatist> Dr_Willis: oh i see so each rc* would be a certain point at which it starts...
[23:38] <nobarking> what's a good vnc client for Kubuntu KDE4 friendly, Qt4 based preferably?
[23:39] <sebsebseb> !vnc > nobarking
[23:39] <sebsebseb> nobarking: by the way theres a #kubuntu channel
[23:39] <gogeta> Phun5tar: Control Centre > KDE Components > Session Manager
[23:40] <iromli> hey, where can i see the list of those irc commands on this channel?
[23:40] <nicofs> Can anyone help me troubleshoot my 3g modem? how can i find out, what network manager is doing durin dial-up and why it aborts?
[23:40] <sebsebseb> iromli: for the bot you mean?
[23:40] <meoblast001> hi, i'm having trouble finding a Bullet Physics package for in the Ubuntu repos.. are they there?
[23:40] <iromli> sebsebseb: yap
[23:40] <sebsebseb> !bot | iromli
[23:40] <Phun5tar> okay, I do see the "restore previous session", but I shut down a clean desktop each time (or a different configuration)
[23:40] <webPragmatist> Dr_Willis: have you built init.d scripts before?
[23:40] <iromli> sebsebseb: thanks
[23:40] <Phun5tar> my startup session is different than my startup
[23:40] <sebsebseb> iromli: Your welcome
[23:40] <Phun5tar> er...sorry
[23:40] <gogeta> Phun5tar: you should be able to delete any saved ones
[23:41] <Phun5tar> startup session is different than shutdown
[23:41] <Phun5tar> oh
[23:41] <gogeta> Phun5tar: setting it back to factory
[23:41] <Phun5tar> would merely starting an empty session fix it?
[23:41] <tony__> hi
[23:42] <gogeta> Phun5tar: it should reinvoke the settings wizord
[23:42] <iromli> !codecs > iromli
[23:42] <gogeta> Phun5tar: so it should
[23:42] <iromli> ahh ... i'm so noob
[23:42] <tonytraductor> I'm on here using irssi on an everex cloudbook with xubuntu 9.10
[23:42] <Phun5tar> good
[23:42] <Phun5tar> we'll see
[23:42] <Phun5tar> thanks
[23:43] <tonytraductor> I installed netbook-remix, but wiped the nbr stuff and added xubuntu-desktop
[23:43] <tonytraductor> pretty co0l
[23:43] <tonytraductor> no questions, just on gloating over this nifty little machine
[23:44] <thune3> nicofs: /var/log/syslog or more compactly /var/log/daemon.log should have a log of networkmanager's actions during the connection attempt.
[23:44] <gogeta> tonytraductor: kinda a long way around to get the launcher in xbuntu
[23:44] <tonytraductor> I wish mocp were in the repos, though
[23:44] <gogeta> tonytraductor: you coulda just installed netbook-luancher in xbuntu
[23:44] <tonytraductor> oh, I turned off the netbook-launcher crap
[23:44] <tonytraductor> that was nauseating
[23:44] <tonytraductor> bloated, clunky, not fast at all
[23:44] <gogeta> tonytraductor: there is a switch buttion to turn it ogg lol
[23:44] <gogeta> off
[23:45] <tonytraductor> yeah, I just took it out of startup apps
[23:45] <experiMENTAL> problem not solved, plz. black screen with white flashing stripes up to half of the screen preceded by a message "checking battery state... [OK]": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531543
[23:45] <tonytraductor> I installed the netbook-remix t try since I had it on a usbkey, but decided xubuntu is better
[23:46] <adjurata> a black friend of mine was telling me that ubuntu only employs niggers to help write code
[23:46] <tonytraductor> experiMENTAL. sounds like X config issues
[23:46] <gogeta> tonytraductor: yea i prefer the new gnome desktop to the launcher on my own netbook
[23:46] <apsoto> hey there, anyone know if there is something similar to /etc/aliases if you don't have a mail server locally so root email gets sent somewhere else?
[23:46] <nicofs> thune3: there's something about "SIM failure" in there...
[23:47] <tonytraductor> well, canonical IS based in Africa, but I don' think they discriminate based on skin color, and I don't think you should call ppl "niggers" on here. You're likely to get booted
[23:47] <gogeta> adjurata: lol conserding the entire communty makes linux code i have no clue where he got that and niggers lol that might start a war
[23:47] <tonytraductor> soy latino...gonna call me a spic?
[23:47] <VxJasonxV> Is there an md5/sha hash for 10.04 LTS somewhere?
[23:47] <VxJasonxV> for the 10.04LTS iso*
[23:47] <Mahjongg> what utility gives this output on console login? 0 packages can be updated.
[23:47] <Mahjongg> 0 updates are security updates.
[23:47] <experiMENTAL> tonytraductor: i tried dpkg-reconfiture xserver-xorg, but its not working.
[23:47] <YankDownUnder> Language gentlemen
[23:47] <bithen> Sup dawgs.
[23:48] <tonytraductor> what kind of machine are we talking about?
[23:48] <sebsebseb> !ops | adjurata
[23:48] <gogeta> lol
[23:48] <sebsebseb> gogeta: or was it you
[23:48] <gogeta> not me
[23:49]  * jpds watches maco take evasive manoveures.
[23:49] <topobot> hello
[23:49] <topobot> can i ask something please?
[23:49] <Flare183> !ask | topobot
[23:49] <VCoolio> Mahjongg: update-manager probably, it's some python script it runs from /usr/lib/update-manager I believe, I modified it once
[23:49] <maco> jpds: irc client lacking aliases :(
[23:49] <thune3> nicofs: this guy http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-163385.html got a similar error in wvdial because the sim was inserted incorrectly. then he got some other error....
[23:49] <topobot> ok thanks
[23:49] <sebsebseb> gogeta: yeah it was adjurata  using that silly word
[23:50] <Phun5tar> got my session deal figured out
[23:50] <Mahjongg> VCoolio, how can I get my application to run next to that output?
[23:50] <Phun5tar> but now I have a less critical question about vlc and KDEinit
[23:50] <sebsebseb> !language | adjurata
[23:50] <Phun5tar> I always get an error when using VLC, but VLC works just fine
[23:50] <topobot> look, i use macosx mainly but i got a freelance job, i live in berlin now, but i need to have full access to a machine in italy, which operating system do you recommend to install in the computer in italy?
[23:50] <gogeta> Phun5tar: take it that cleard your apps from starting up
[23:51] <gogeta> :)
[23:51] <topobot> for having full remote access ?
[23:51] <Phun5tar> yes, yes it did
[23:51] <Phun5tar> thanks!
[23:51] <meoblast001> hi... Bullet physics doesn't appear to be in the repos as far as i can tell.. any reason?
[23:51] <topobot> which are the differences between windows xp and ubuntu in terms of remote accesss?
[23:51] <sebsebseb> topobot: differnet clients
[23:51] <sebsebseb> topobot: and such
[23:52] <topobot> what do you mean  sebsebseb?
[23:52] <sebsebseb> !vnc > topobot
[23:52] <Phun5tar> anyone know why this pops up after I close VLC?
[23:52] <Phun5tar> KDEInit could not launch 'vlc'.
[23:52] <sebsebseb> topobot: differnet programs for doing it with
[23:52] <YankDownUnder> Under any form of unix/linux/bsd, you can have many different types of remote access. Under MS Windows, only two, basically.
[23:52] <nicofs> thunar3: how can a SIM card be inserted incorrectly? it's asymetric... bot those are not the error messages i get...
[23:52] <gogeta> Phun5tar: should like it was trying to start it again
[23:52] <sebsebseb> topobot: however also SSH isn't a Windows thing, which can be used to make the connection secure, see what bot sent you
[23:53] <Phun5tar> that's what it looks like, but I'm closing it
[23:53] <Phun5tar> at least, that's when the error pops up
[23:53] <_Richie_> quiero hacer un ruteo statico permanente route -add 172.16.33.116 255.255.255.192 gw 172.16.214.65
[23:53] <topobot> ok ,but which is bbetter for doing this? windows or ubuntu?
[23:53] <gogeta> Phun5tar: dounds like a bug with vlc and kdes init system
[23:53] <_Richie_> que mas le tengo que agregar par aque al reiniciar no se borre
[23:53] <gogeta> sounds
[23:53] <sebsebseb> topobot: depends
[23:53] <topobot> on what?
[23:53] <Phun5tar> ah
[23:53] <thune3> nicofs: i don't know. you might try re-seating the SIM just in case it somehow lost contact.
[23:53] <VCoolio> Mahjongg: it's a file 'apt_check.py', run that like 'python /path/to/apt_check.py --help' to get the options
[23:54] <Flare183> topobot: Ubuntu does it all, windows cannot. but that's my opinion
[23:54] <nicofs> thune3: i have that issue with various SIM cards...
[23:54] <Flare183> !english | _Richie_
[23:54] <sebsebseb> topobot: Linux to Linux pretty easy, and securely.  Linux to Windows not as easy securely.  I mean if your doing your own connection, not using an already make service for it.
[23:54] <topobot> Flare183:  what cannot do windows?
[23:54] <gogeta> Flare183: lol if he speaking a diffrent language saying english probly isnt gonna help
[23:55] <YankDownUnder> What type of connectivity do you want? Shell? Remote-control? Remote X? Telnet? FTP?
[23:55] <Flare183> gogeta: yeah well, Idk the language they're speaking so yeah
[23:55] <topobot> sebsebseb: im talking about which computer should i connect in the computer in italy, here in my house i have macosx that is prrety the same as linux
[23:55] <sebsebseb> topobot: For that, there probably isn't really a best OS,  since differnet things that can be used, for differnet OS's for it.
[23:55] <Rabbitbu1ny> Why does java want to run constantly and eat 100mb of ram?
[23:55] <gogeta> Flare183: looked like spannish
[23:55] <Rabbitbu1ny> Seriously, it's a bog.
[23:55] <Visualante> aloha #ubuntu, i've accidentally deleted the network manager icon from the task bar and can't work out how to get it back. my internet connection is gone from Ubuntu so i can't do any tests atm
[23:55] <Flare183> gogeta: I can never be sure so yeah
[23:55] <VCoolio> Mahjongg: it's part of update-notifier, by default in startup applications
[23:55] <topobot> sebsebseb: im talking about which operating system should i install in the computer in italy, here in my house i have macosx that is prrety the same as linux
[23:55] <tonytraductor> ¿donde?  estaba fuera por un minuto
[23:55] <sebsebseb> topobot:  Windows, Linux distrubtions, or Mac OS X, they can all remote connect to each other
[23:55] <Flare183> topobot: Mac OS I based off a linux kernel so yeah
[23:55] <gogeta> tonytraductor: funny
[23:55] <Visualante> how can i get back online?
[23:56] <sebsebseb> topobot: Flare183  well they say that Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD which is a Unix distribution not Linux
[23:56] <topobot> but why people say that windows is not so good for making this kind of thing?
[23:56] <halnaweb> ola
[23:56] <Dr_Willis> Visualante:  run 'nm-applet' i think
[23:56] <gogeta> topobot: kind of what
[23:56] <tonytraductor> uh...Visualante...you MUST be online, since you're on IRCA
[23:56] <tonytraductor> irc
[23:56] <VCoolio> Mahjongg: python /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt_check.py --help
[23:56] <tonytraductor> chucha la wea
[23:56] <Flare183> sebsebseb: oh, excuse me. I'm sorry
[23:56] <YankDownUnder> topobot, Security, function and usability.
[23:56] <tonytraductor> tiny keyboard = many typos
[23:56] <sweetpi> Flare183: Mac OS is no way based on the linux kernel
[23:56] <sebsebseb> topobot: Windows shoudn't really be connected to the Internet :D  since security reasons
[23:56] <topobot> gogeta:  remote connection
[23:56] <Visualante> Dr_Willis thanks, any other suggestions before i reboot? tony yes yes very amusing. I'm using my reliable Windows partition
[23:56] <Flare183> sweetpi: haha uname -a :P
[23:57] <topobot> ah ok
[23:57] <gogeta> topobot: windows can remote connection easly
[23:57] <tonytraductor> ha, now that IS funny...reliable+windows in the same sentence. ROFLMAO
[23:57] <YankDownUnder> That's an oxymoron
[23:57] <tonytraductor> hold on. I'll be back
[23:57] <Visualante> yes so funny, at least windows supports 1680x1050 and doesn't crash when i send ubuntu to sleep. Ubuntu runs like crap on my machines
[23:57] <gogeta> topobot: any os can remote into another os
[23:58] <nicofs> sebsebseb: well, windows might not be safe if connected to the internet - but you can connect it to the internet, which can't be said for my netbook running xubuntu...
[23:58] <sebsebseb> nicofs: uhmm ok sounds like a wireless issue
[23:58] <wolter> what scripts are run when i close my laptop lid for suspension?
[23:58] <YankDownUnder> topobot, If you want to have real and full capabilities with several different means by which to connect or control the machine, use unix/linux/bsd. Install Ubuntu
[23:58] <gogeta> nicofs: any os is safe on the net if you set it right
[23:58] <Mahjongg> VCoolio, sorry, I couldn't make myself clear, I'd like to my app to the autorun script that is run everytime a console sheel is opened just like the apt-check.py applicaiton. But I do not know which autostart script file that might be
[23:58] <topobot> if i connect remotely to a windows computer can i have access to all the computer, in the same way id be in front of the computer?
[23:58] <sebsebseb> nicofs: can probably configure Xubuntu so that works, or use some other distro instead
[23:58] <gogeta> nicofs: not using ie having a good anti vires
[23:59]  * YankDownUnder needs more coffee to make sense of it all
[23:59] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  with 'vnc' or freenx   - yes.
[23:59] <gogeta> topobot: yes
[23:59] <sebsebseb> nicofs: ndiswrapper allows the WIndows driver to work for wireless
[23:59] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  or that rdp stuff
[23:59] <sebsebseb> topobot: VNC is not secure by default,  it should be tunnelded over SSH or a VPN to make secure, when using over the Internet, if just connecting over a LAN then its ok
[23:59] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, I've found what path wubi uses for root.disk. Can you boot from SG2D and press "c" to get to the grub shell?
[23:59] <sebsebseb> topobot: as for RDP not sure about that one, but probably similar
