[00:00] <topobot> why do you say if i want full capabilities i should use ubuntu? what cant be done in windows? can you give me a concrete example?
[00:00] <sebsebseb> topobot: RDP is the way you would normally do it Windows to Windows, but RDP can also be used with other OS's.  VNC is more of a Linux/Unix thing, but can also be used with Windows,  and same thing for SSH.
[00:00] <VCoolio> Mahjongg: you mean you want it when you open a terminal? Add the command to ~/.bashrc then
[00:00] <bj0ng0> ok wtf, i reboot, bluetooth stopped working (until i press the wifi/bt button on my laptop twice) and i cant use shutdown/restart, it just logs out
[00:00] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: done
[00:00] <Mahjongg> VCoolio, but it should run for any user
[00:00] <nicofs> sebsebseb: if it were only wireless... it's a 3G modem - ant i've been trying to fix that for 4-5 weeks now. and if it's not working by tomorrow morning the harddrive will change from ext3 to NTFS forever...
[00:00] <bj0ng0> i have too sudo reboot now...all of a sudden
[00:00] <sebsebseb> nicofs: uhmm
[00:01] <Mahjongg> just like apt_check.py
[00:01] <gogeta> nicofs: oh 3g modems are still a pain
[00:01] <YankDownUnder> topobot, 1.) This is a linux based forum/channel 2.) I get paid to support Windows and I support linux for free 3.) Any MS OS is inherently insecure and incomplete. Why do I want to discuss connecting Windows machines in a linux channel? Hmmm...have to ponder that.
[00:01] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, run "ls -l" and find out which device, (hdx,y), uses ntfs.
[00:01] <ispiked> any idea why apt-get update woudl be ignoring a source?
[00:01] <Dr_Willis> bj0ng0:  you are using gdm to get to gnome? Ive noticed if i mixx kdm/gdm with Gnome/KDE sometimes the shutdown/whatever optiosn are not always there
[00:01] <gogeta> nicof | !3g
[00:01] <gogeta> guess the bot has knothing
[00:01] <Dr_Willis> !3g
[00:02] <VCoolio> Mahjongg: you can put unverisal startup scripts in /etc/xdg/autostart
[00:02] <topobot> ok thanks
[00:02] <bj0ng0> Dr_Willis,  the options/button are there, but when i click em, it just logs out :|
[00:02] <gogeta> nicofs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G
[00:02] <VCoolio> Mahjongg: automatically run after login that is, in .desktop format
[00:02] <bj0ng0> weird and annoying!"#"
[00:02] <sebsebseb> topobot: also there are websites you can use, so you don't have to set up your own connection
[00:02] <Dr_Willis> bj0ng0:  i so rarely reboot. :) i rarely notice.
[00:02] <bj0ng0> :)
[00:02] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: I don't see hdx,y but it says ntfs is device hd1: partition hd1
[00:03] <gogeta> nicofs: what cards work etc
[00:03] <Dr_Willis> Only got 22 hrs uptime  right now. :()
[00:03] <thune3> ispiked: ign just means that there is no new change to download, that source is up-to-date
[00:03] <Isonyx> Anyone else think the new Ubuntu Close Minimize and Resize buttons being on a different side fucks doorknobs?
[00:03] <Mahjongg> VCoolio, is apt_check.py run that way too?
[00:03] <Dr_Willis> if you ran 'sudo apt-get update' twice in a row. the 2nd time most all of them shoudl be 'ign'ored
[00:03] <sebsebseb> !controls | Isonyx
[00:03] <Flare183> !language | Isonyx
[00:04] <ispiked> thune3: hmm... apt-get install fails to install a package I know should be there...
[00:04] <YankDownUnder> It's more ergonomic.
[00:04] <sebsebseb> ispiked: and yeah language, and yes it sucks really
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> ispiked:  its trivial to change them
[00:04] <ispiked> thune3: I've added https://edge.launchpad.net/~docky-core/+archive/ppa and am doing sudo apt-get install gio-sharp
[00:04] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, run "loopback loop (hd1,1)/ubuntu/disks/root.disk"
[00:04] <Flare183> ispiked: Did you add it correctly?
[00:04] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: hd1,1
[00:05] <gogeta> nicofs: my buddy also made a pyton program for a at@t 3g modem to auto set it up
[00:05] <ispiked> Flare183: I think so
[00:05] <ispiked> Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/docky-core/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US
[00:05] <ispiked> that's the line from apt-get update
[00:05] <Flare183> nope
[00:05] <YankDownUnder> Micsrosoft ended up keeping buttons on the other side of an open window so as to not step on Apple's fingers back in the 90's - they were going to move them to the other side when they broke away from IBM, but were warned against the move.
[00:05] <Flare183> that's not right
[00:05] <Buttons840> microsoft likes me on the other side, it's true
[00:05] <Flare183> sudo add-apt-repository <insert ppa here>
[00:06] <sebsebseb> YankDownUnder: and  Mac OS's interface is based on Xerrox (or whatever its called)
[00:06] <ispiked> Flare183: that's how I did it... I'll try again
[00:06] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: done
[00:06] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Now run "set root=(loop)"
[00:06] <VCoolio> Mahjongg: you can create a .desktop file that does that, put the command on the Exec= line and use a notification bubble or something: notify-send "Updates" "$(python ../../apt_check.py --human-readable)"
[00:06] <Flare183> ispiked: once you do that, then run sudo apt-get update
[00:06] <sebsebseb> ispiked: its only for the two new Canonical themes that it is like that
[00:06] <liam__> Does anyone know how to get my splash screens back at startup and shutdown ?
[00:07] <ispiked> sebsebseb: I didn't ask about that
[00:07] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: done
[00:07] <ispiked> sebsebseb: you got the wrong guy
[00:07] <ispiked> Flare183: done
[00:07] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Now run "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and hopefully your Ubuntu menu will come up.
[00:07] <Mahjongg> VCoolio, I think /etc/xdg/autostart is only run when a gdm session is open
[00:07] <YankDownUnder> liam__, A bit more specific?
[00:07] <ispiked> Flare183: still can't find gio-sharp
[00:07] <Mahjongg> VCoolio, that would not help me
[00:07] <Dr_Willis> ispiked:  ive noticed those lines also.. nothing is broken because of it.. but not sure how/where they are comming from
[00:07] <Mahjongg> VCoolio, thanks anyways for your help
[00:07] <deexannihilate> configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg: it cleared the screen and not it says Grub
[00:07] <nicofs> gogeta: mine is not in the list... but almost all huawei devices work...
[00:08] <ispiked> Dr_Willis: I'll try adding it to sources.lst...
[00:08] <sebsebseb> ispiked: You asked about it,  I was going to explain the reason why, but well,  its YankDownUnder who was saying about it
[00:08] <VCoolio> Mahjongg: ok
[00:08] <ispiked> sebsebseb: :S
[00:08] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, try pressing escape and see if you can see the Ubuntu menu then.
[00:08] <liam__> Running 10.04. The ubuntu splash which has a purple background with 5/6 dots ? ... it doesn't appear anymor ei just get text
[00:08] <ispiked> sebsebseb: I didn't ask about themes/buttons at all... read scrollback
[00:08] <YankDownUnder> :|
[00:08] <Dr_Willis> ispiked:  i think there may be some sort of typos going on in some of the ppa stuff.. but ive not really had time to debug it
[00:08] <sebsebseb> ispiked: oh now I see, my auto complete messed up
[00:08] <sebsebseb> or something
[00:08] <Garnasha> hmm
[00:08] <Garnasha> hey everybody
[00:08] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: it brought me back to the original GNU GRUB menu
[00:08] <gogeta> liam__: strange mines black ornge with white dots
[00:08] <YankDownUnder> liam__, Have you installed a new graphics driver or installed any Plymouth themes?
[00:09] <Garnasha> I have a couple of issues
[00:09] <Garnasha> but I'll start with the easiest
[00:09] <Dr_Willis> ispiked:  i got one from the 'getdeb' listing --> Ign http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ lucid-getdeb/games Translation-en_US
[00:09] <bj0ng0> Dr_Willis,  even weirder, lighttpd has to be restarted to work, not even rebooting helps
[00:09] <liam__> YankDownUnder I haven't installed anything, the only thing i have been doing is editing grub 2
[00:09] <gogeta> liam__: but my ssd is so quick half the time i never see it just at login screen lol
[00:10] <liam__> lol gogeta
[00:10] <Garnasha> my wlan keeps disconnecting, and restarting my laptop is such a crude way to solve it
[00:10] <Dr_Willis> ispiked:  actually Now i see.. i get one for EVERY source i have in m y sources.list     totally baffled about where its comming from now
[00:10] <YankDownUnder> liam__, Ok...so what have you changed in grub => what has changed since it last worked properly?
[00:10] <ispiked> Dr_Willis: see above
[00:11] <gogeta> liam__: not a joke bios screen grub cruser login screen
[00:11] <ispiked> Dr_Willis: if there are no changes, it ignores it
[00:11] <thune3> ispiked: what error are you getting when you 'install'?
[00:11] <Garnasha> and I once saw someone fix it by entering a command in the terminal, but all I can remember is that is was in the /etc directory, and from there I figured it'd be in /etc/network
[00:11] <Garnasha> but now I'm stuck
[00:11] <Garnasha> so, could someone point me to the command to reset the wlan?
[00:11] <gogeta> liam__: every once and a wile ill see the boot splash for a second
[00:11] <Garnasha> *restart
[00:12] <YankDownUnder> Garnasha, Um.../etc/init.d/networking restart
[00:12] <liam__> I've changed a lot ... could the /etc/grub.d/ executables have anything to do with the ubuntu splash though ?
[00:12] <ispiked> thune3: E: Couldn't find package gio-sharp
[00:12] <Oer> ispiked after adding a ppa, use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, then install
[00:12] <YankDownUnder> liam__, Yes - could be - it's touchy ya know...
[00:12] <Garnasha> YankDownUnder, ah, thank you :D
[00:12] <gogeta> liam__: as long as you didnt remove the splash line
[00:13] <YankDownUnder> liam__, Just as a thought, did you change anything to do with screen resolution in the grub conf files?
[00:13] <ispiked> Oer: mmm... haven't upgraded yet. let me try...
[00:13] <meoblast001> what channel should i go to to ask about packages? #ubuntu-motu?
[00:13] <Gambino> New Ubuntu user here. I am running from an 8gig flash drive before installing. Just to test. Is there a better irc client than xchat?
[00:14] <sebsebseb> Gambino: indeed :)
[00:14] <ispiked> Gambino: haha... depends who you ask. I prefer irssi
[00:14] <YankDownUnder> Gambino, Some folks like coffee, some folks like tea. It's a matter of preference.
[00:14] <sebsebseb> Gambino: I am quite the Konversation fan,  KDE app, but  as long as your partition isn't stupidtly sized that will be alright, I mean ti will want to put KDE stuff on
[00:14] <sebsebseb> !irc | Gambino
[00:14] <gogeta> Gambino: yea its kinda up to you what you like i just use pidgins intergrated one
[00:14] <topobot> which is better ubuntu or xubuntu?
[00:14] <liam__> I have disabled 10_linux and 30_os-prober but the problem was happening before then... i am just using 00_header, 05_debian and 40_custom now
[00:15] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Can you run "ls /boot/grub/grub.cfg"?
[00:15] <sebsebseb> Gambino: nice graphical client that one, also for the terminal irssi is rather popular, theres also weechat
[00:15] <YankDownUnder> topobot, Um....that's a question better answered by yourself mate.
[00:15] <Gambino> I am used to mIRC. I actually miss the scripting... Never thought I'd say that.
[00:15] <alloosh> HI, MY COMPUTER STARTED TYPING EVERYTHING IN CAPS. CAPS LOCK WORKS IN REVERSE ORDER NOW, IS THAT A BUG, OR DID i HIT THE WRONG KEYS?
[00:15] <liam__> YankDownUnder: i may of edited something in etc/default/grub :-s
[00:15] <sebsebseb> Gambino: and this isn't Windows, you can install loads of apps without problems :)
[00:15] <topobot> which one do you recommend me to install?
[00:15] <Garnasha> Gambino, something wrong with XChat?
[00:15] <YankDownUnder> liam__, check in 05_debian to see if you've mucked with the graphics setting
[00:15] <gogeta> Gambino: funny enough mrixcc runs in wine but xcat is able to do scripts
[00:15] <Gambino> Garn, Scripting and basic setup and design.
[00:15] <gogeta> mirc
[00:15] <Gambino> ... Like nick complete.
[00:16] <deexannihilate> jordan_u:  it says grub.cfg
[00:16] <[manas]> im looking for keylogger and help to install it????
[00:16] <bolle> hello there
[00:16] <YankDownUnder> XChat kicks puppies and sneezes on kittens.
[00:16] <liam__> YankDownUnder will do :)
[00:16] <Gambino> xchat scripts are Perl, correct?
[00:16] <Garnasha> YankDownUnder, I'd be more offended if he kicked kittens :P
[00:16] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Are you sure that you typed the path correctly when you ran "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg"?
[00:16] <topobot> last question , why 64 it ubuntu is not recommended to dayly users?
[00:17] <bolle> everytime i try to do a minimal install of ubuntu, i get a blinking cursor.. why is this?
[00:17] <YankDownUnder> liam__, As well, if you want a list of proper graphics FB modes, install hwinfo and run : hwinfo --framebuffer => that will give you the modes for your card.
[00:17] <gogeta> Gambino: beleve so
[00:17] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  the web site is a bit out of date.. use 64 if you want to
[00:17] <Garnasha> anyway, who should I file bug reports with?
[00:17] <[manas]> im looking for keylogger for my ubuntu machine and help to install it????
[00:17] <Gambino> :( I write my own scripts in mIRC. I don't know Perl.
[00:17] <liam__> YankDownUnder : Thanks i will check that out
[00:17] <YankDownUnder> XChat can use perl, tcl or regular shell scripts...
[00:17] <topobot> whats the differences between 64 and 32 ?
[00:17] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  64-32=32 :)
[00:18] <YankDownUnder> keylogger implies backdoors/trojans - and more.
[00:18] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: I wrote 'ls /boot/grub/grub.cfg' the first time and "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" takes me back to the main menu
[00:18] <bolle> why is it when i install ubuntu minimal i just get a blinking cursor after the install?
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  if you have a 64bit cpu. you should consider using 64bit OS.. if you got 64bit cpu + 4 or more gb of ram. defaintaly use 64bit os
[00:18] <YankDownUnder> bolle, cuz it's minimal.
[00:18] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Try "source /boot/grub/grub.cfg".
[00:18] <topobot> how can i know if my cpu is 64 bits?
[00:18] <bolle> but i mean, i get absolutely nothing
[00:18] <bolle> i just want a command line
[00:19] <econtomawesome> I am looking for opinions of a light-weight 64-bit version or variant of Ubuntu. Lunbuntu and #! are out (too beta and too variant, respectively). Any advice?
[00:19] <mneptok> Dr_Willis: there is no "a" in "definitely" ;)
[00:19] <YankDownUnder> bolle, Is it booting to a console login?
[00:19]  * Dr_Willis pokes mneptok  in the 'i'
[00:19] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Oh, I think I know what's happening. What is the output of "echo $root"?
[00:19] <mneptok> Dr_Willis: de + finite (Latin for "from the finite"
[00:19] <mneptok> )
[00:19] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: it started grub> line
[00:19] <bolle> no yankdown, its just a blinking cursor
[00:19] <econtomawesome> mneptok are you being snarky again? ;-)
[00:19] <topobot> how can i know if my computer is 64 bits?
[00:20] <[manas]> im looking for keylogger for my ubuntu machine and help to install it????
[00:20] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  whats its cpu?
[00:20] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: hd0
[00:20] <phaedra> econtomawesome, try xubuntu. check in the #xubuntu channel.
[00:20] <Garnasha> mneptok, don't throw latin at the poor guy :P
[00:20] <econtomawesome> phaedra Have any others? I haven't been impressed with xubuntu
[00:20] <topobot> i dont know
[00:20] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: You need to run "set root=(loop)" before the configfile command.
[00:20] <mneptok> econtomawesome: if you consider "snarky" synonymous with "educated past middle school," then yes. :P
[00:20] <topobot> i dont have it know
[00:20] <Garnasha> [manas], why would you want a keylogger?
[00:20] <YankDownUnder> bolle, You might want to check that when the machine is booting - in order to fully find out what's going on - remove the "quiet splash" from the kernel options -> see what happens. This machine ain't, perhaps, an Intel graphics card, is it?
[00:20] <topobot> where should i see to look if its 64 bits?
[00:20] <econtomawesome> mneptok Could be there are people here without any formal education at all, let alone in English! :-)
[00:21] <phaedra> econtomawesome, not if you want to remain 100% with ubuntu
[00:21] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  people asking 'how can i tell if my pc is 64bit' is one of the reasons i think that web site still 'suggests' 32bit version of the OS. :)   Eliminating potential confusion at the start.
[00:21] <Oer> topbot, bios screen
[00:21] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Or just run "configfile (loop)/boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[00:21] <ispiked> Oer: still doesn't work after an upgrade :(
[00:21] <bolle> yankdownunder, i dont even get to my grub screen..
[00:21] <econtomawesome> phaedra hence my willingness to discuss variants
[00:21] <Vig0> bolle: The Minimal is usually a TLI. I had a link that addresses that, it is on the Forums.
[00:21] <realopty> how come i cant play 2 sounds at once lol?
[00:21] <jigp> hello how to tune ubuntu lucid into low resources?i have 1gb ram only.i feel logging and slowness...
[00:21] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  no stickers on the case?  whast OS are you running right now>
[00:21] <mneptok> econtomawesome: and i'm not charging them anything for my free lessons.
[00:21] <YankDownUnder> bolle, Are you sure the installation completed properly? Can you boot to a liveCD?
[00:21] <[manas]> Garnasha, for my little ones
[00:21] <Oer> ispiked, dit you manually add the ppa + key, or the shortcut > ppa:docky-core/ppa
[00:21] <realopty> like firefox cant play music while something else is using the audio :\
[00:21] <topobot> now im on macosx, but i have a computer in italy, im going to travel to installa a new operating system
[00:21] <ispiked> Oer: I've tried both
[00:22] <topobot> i need to know how to check if its 64 bits
[00:22] <ispiked> Oer: currently using shortcut method
[00:22] <bolle> i can boot to a livecd, i just recently installed jolicloud and linux mint so i know everything is working fine with my computer
[00:22] <econtomawesome> mneptok You're a saint, or a politician looking for a photoop ;-)
[00:22] <topobot> if the computer is 64 bits and i install 32 bits what happens?
[00:22] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: it does the same thing. clears the screen and displays grub>
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  grab both a 64 and 32bit disrto/cd for it.
[00:22] <YankDownUnder> topobot, Um...do you know the CPU of the machine?
[00:22] <Garnasha> econtomawesome, mneptok, even if you've had an education, not everyone's been through grammar school and picked latin
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  if its 32bit then the 64bit disk wont install. :)
[00:22] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Press escape and see if the menu has changed
[00:22] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: nope
[00:22] <mac9416> tophyr, 6-bit machines will run 32-bit Ubuntu just fine.
[00:22] <mac9416> Er, topobot
[00:22] <econtomawesome> topobot you lose out on the functionality of the 64-bit--ram past 4GB won't pick up
[00:22] <YankDownUnder> 6 bit machines? Wow!
[00:23] <topobot> if its 64 bits and i install 32 bits what happens?
[00:23] <Vig0> bolle: Did you want a GUI with the Minimal?
[00:23] <Garnasha> [manas], don't trust them?
[00:23] <mac9416> YankDownUnder, bad 4 key.  :-P
[00:23] <topobot> so you mean it became slower?
[00:23] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, try "source (loop)/boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[00:23] <bolle> no vig, i just want a command line in order to install lxde
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> topobot: dependsd on  how much ram you got..  if 4+GB.. you wont see/access all the ram.. if less then 4gb.. not much noticeable will happen.
[00:23] <[manas]> Garnasha, nope, so can u help me or not|?
[00:23] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: grub> in response
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> topobot:  You are just not as fast as you could be. (perhaps a 5-10% slowdiwn in some tasks)
[00:23] <YankDownUnder> bolle, Does this machine have an intel graphics card?
[00:23] <mac9416> topobot, I've run both 32-bit and 64-bit on my 64-bit machine. I can't tell the difference. It may be there, but I can't tell it.
[00:24] <jigp> hello how to tune ubuntu lucid into low resources?i have 1gb ram only.i feel logging and slowness...
[00:24] <Garnasha> [manas], not sure, I'm pretty new at this as well, let me take a look through the program list
[00:24] <bolle> I have no idea :( im sorry. Im on an hp mini 210
[00:24] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: And still no change in the menu when you press escape?
[00:24] <iceroot> jigp: use lubuntu-desktop instead of ubuntu-desktop
[00:24] <YankDownUnder> bolle, hang on...let me check something...
[00:24] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: no change
[00:24] <Flare183> iceroot, jigp: or use xubuntu
[00:24] <xavierm> jigp, run xfce
[00:24] <jigp> iceroot: how to set lubuntu?
[00:24] <iceroot> Flare183: xubuntu is taking the same as ubuntu
[00:24] <Gambino> ./list doesn't work for me. What chan can I go to for installation questions?
[00:24] <Garnasha> [manas], also, what are you afraid they'll do? maybe a keylogger isn't the best solution
[00:24] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: actually it now says detect any os twice instead of once
[00:25] <nimbiotics> hello everybody. i guess i removed it from my main panle, but this is not showing the options to shutdown, restart et all. What can I do? TIA!
[00:25] <iceroot> jigp: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop  then choose it at login-screen
[00:25] <econtomawesome> iceroot I agreet--how to set lubuntu (lxde)?
[00:25] <topobot> ok

[00:25] <Flare183> nimbiotics: Add the notification bar to the top panel
[00:25] <iceroot> jigp: lubuntu-desktop
[00:26] <nobarking> sebsebseb: thanks a lot!
[00:26] <[manas]> Garnasha, just to mke sure and for me better to sleep, i found one LKL but it doesnt look eassy for me
[00:26] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: That suggests that it's reading the SG2D grub.cfg instead of the one from wubi, thouh I'm not sure why as (loop) should clearly be wubi
[00:26] <jigp> iceroot xavierm lubuntu,xfce or xubuntu?
[00:26] <Vig0> boile: And here:> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7210414#post7210414
[00:26] <bolle> thanks vig, but i know how to get lxde and stuff, but i just cant get to the command line in the first place
[00:26] <nimbiotics> Dr_Willis, ubottu & Flare183: Thanks a bunch!
[00:26] <iceroot> jigp: i already told you three times to use lubuntu is you want low usage of cpu and ram
[00:26] <YankDownUnder> bolle, If you can boot with a liveUSB or liveCD, add: " i915.modeline=1" to the kernel startup params.
[00:26] <Flare183> !thanks | nimbiotics
[00:27] <Dr_Willis> Ubuntu runs very well here on my 1gb system
[00:27] <bolle> how would i do that?
[00:27] <xavierm> jigp, lubuntu uses lxde which runs with very low requirements
[00:27] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Does "ls -l" list (loop) as being "ext2"?
[00:27] <xavierm> jigp, xubuntu is the same as xfce
[00:27] <jigp> Dr_Willis lucid? iceroot ok
[00:27] <xavierm> jigp, i mean, xubuntu uses xfce
[00:27] <nimbiotics> Dr_Willis, ubottu & Flare183: lol
[00:27] <Vig0> bolle: Hold N at boot? I think
[00:27] <jigp> xavierm ok
[00:27] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu lucid runs fine on my 1gb netbook
[00:27] <iceroot> jigp: i am also running ubuntu (gnome) on 630mhz, 1gb ram with lucid
[00:28] <topobot> if my computer is 64 bits and i have installed 64 bits operating system , should i compile my software in 64 bits? can i run 32 software too?
[00:28] <bolle> Vig0: Ill try it.. So like while booting into my live usb of linux mint hold N?
[00:28] <Garnasha> [manas], that's an evasive answer. Anyway, if you're afraid of sites "inappropriate for children" you might want to look into blocker software instead
[00:28] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: it doesn't list loop at all
[00:28] <Flare183> iceroot: D: you REALLY Need to upgrade that CPU
[00:28] <iceroot> jigp: ram is not the problem but the cpu is (flash)
[00:28] <iceroot> Flare183: no
[00:28] <Flare183> iceroot: that's slower than my Pentium 3 processor
[00:28] <iceroot> Flare183: its ok if not using flash
[00:28] <Flare183> that's running my dell server
[00:28] <jigp> iceroot Dr_Willis> xavierm and why is it soooooo logging and hanging and freezing sometimes when i open like 8 tabs of ffirefox plus 1 terminal?
[00:28] <Vig0> bolle: That key combo works in most Gnome...
[00:29] <jigp> iceroot Dr_Willis> xavierm : i use gnome
[00:29] <Garnasha> [manas], a first quick check doesn't yield any packages even mentioning keyloggers
[00:29] <iceroot> jigp: just install lubuntu-desktop and see if it is working better
[00:29] <bolle> but guys, the thing is thge first time i tried a minimal install everything went right, and i just got a command line
[00:29] <bolle> and now when i try and recreate it, it doesnt work..
[00:29] <[manas]> Garnasha, mate i want to havekeylogger
[00:30] <Garnasha> [manas], and I'm telling you, I'm not through the list yet but it doesn't look like there's one out there
[00:30] <jigp> iceroot xavierm everyday i always press the power button 10 seconds in order to shutdown coz i cannot shut it down using manual shutdown.its freezing all the time
[00:30] <sebsebseb> nimbiotics: Your welcome
[00:30] <xavierm> jigp, check if firefox is taking too many resources
[00:30] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[00:30] <YankDownUnder> [manas], If you want a keylogger, I suggest a different channel - perhaps #hacking ?
[00:30] <sebsebseb> nobarking: Your welcome
[00:30] <sebsebseb> nimbiotics: wrong one
[00:30] <Flare183> bolle: yeah that's what a minimal install isCoolio (~coolio@ipd50a4079.speed.planet.nl) has left channel #ubuntu:

[00:30] <xavierm> jigp, That's not normal, I don't think it's a gnome problem
[00:31] <xavierm> jigp, unless there is a process that is hanging your computer
[00:31] <bolle> Flare183: I know, i want a command line minimal install, but now i cant get the command line

[00:31] <topobot> can i run 32 bit software in 64 bits computer?
[00:31] <iceroot> topobot: yes
[00:31] <topobot> ok
[00:31] <firefly2442> How do I unzip a file via the commandline that is password protected?
[00:31] <mattwj2002> what could I print on a silicone wristband and sell on ebay related to linux
[00:31] <mattwj2002> ?
[00:31] <Flare183> topobot: yes, with the right libraries
[00:31] <Garnasha> !irc
[00:31] <Blue1> topobot: yes but it's not exactly straightforward
[00:31] <Gambino> Can I partition an external HDD and run a full version of Ubuntu from it?
[00:31] <iceroot> firefly2442: unzip filename.zip
[00:31] <ispiked> Oer: thanks for the help... what's $LANG set to in your term?
[00:31] <Oer> nederlands - dutch :-)
[00:31] <iceroot> Gambino: yes
[00:32] <canthus13> Gambino: If you can boot from USB, sure.
[00:32] <ispiked> Oer: let me try synaptic. been doing this on the command line
[00:32] <xavierm> Gambino, as long as your computer can boot from usb
[00:32] <pouria> hiiiiiii
[00:32] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: ok. started a new line
[00:32] <Flare183> !hi | pouria
[00:32] <jigp> iceroot xavierm ok after my breakfast ill install lubuntu.xavierm just firefox and terminal and it freeze.sometimes 7 terminal it freeze also.i always update packages too.see yah need to cook breakfast.ill msg you when done installing it :) thank you
[00:32] <pouria> hiiii
[00:32] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Is (loop) listed in "ls -l" now?
[00:32] <mattwj2002> would "Linux rocks" be a copyright issue?
[00:32] <jigp> pouria hello breakfast time
[00:32] <Gambino> Currently, I am on Ubuntu from an 8gig flash drive on my keychain lol. No idea what happens if I need my keys asap.
[00:32] <firefly2442> iceroot: tried that, didn't work, says end of central directory signature not found
[00:32] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: yes
[00:32] <YankDownUnder> Yes. Time for breakfasts sure enough.
[00:32] <ispiked> Oer: oh wow
[00:32] <ispiked> Oer: I feel dumb
[00:33] <iceroot> firefly2442: archive broken, check with md5 if it is correct
[00:33] <canthus13> Gambino: YOu yank the keys out and screw up your install, most likely.
[00:33] <xavierm> Gambino, lol :P Go ahead and install on your external HD
[00:33] <Gambino> But none of my settings are saved from last night. Firefox passwords, xchat needed reinstalling, etc...
[00:33] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: it lists it as ext2
[00:33] <froschi> mattwj2002: try 'rinux locks'
[00:33] <ispiked> Oer: the package name is 'libgio...' not 'gio-sharp'
[00:33] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Great. Now run "configfile (loop)/boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[00:33] <mattwj2002> lol
[00:33] <Warrigal> mattwj2002: if anything, it would be a trademark issue; copyright doesn't cover words and short phrases like "Linux rocks".
[00:33] <ispiked> Oer: I was trying to install 'gio-sharlp' this whole time
[00:33] <mattwj2002> is Linux trademarked?
[00:33] <Flare183> mattwj2002: no lol
[00:33] <Oer> ispiked nice solved, have fun :-)
[00:33] <canthus13> mattwj2002: Yes. The linux Foundation owns the trademark.
[00:33] <iceroot> mattwj2002: the name, yes
[00:33] <mattwj2002> :(
[00:33] <ispiked> Oer: thanks!
[00:34] <mattwj2002> there goes that idea!
[00:34] <Flare183> mattwj2002: you can't own Linux, but you can spread the word of it
[00:34] <Warrigal> mattwj2002: yes, Linux is a trademark, but you're not in trouble unless a person could look at the wristband, see "Linux rocks!", and concludes that the wristband is a Linux product.
[00:34] <canthus13> mattwj2002: http://www.linuxmark.org/
[00:34] <Garnasha> Anyway, is this the place to come with a bug report regarding tkinter and/or IDLE, the python IDE?
[00:34] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: ok. it cleared the screen and grub>. press esc?
[00:34] <iceroot> mattwj2002: you have a ubuntu support question?
[00:34] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Yes
[00:34] <canthus13> mattwj2002: They're usually fairly liberal with the trademark.
[00:34] <Warrigal> mattwj2002: since your wristband is not software, and it has the word "rocks" after it, you're probably safe.
[00:34] <[manas]> thanks
[00:34] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: same screen with the same addition of "Detect any OS"
[00:34] <mattwj2002> no I don't iceroot
[00:35] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, try the "Detect any GRUB2 configuration file (grub.cfg)" option in the menu.
[00:35] <firefly2442> iceroot: Is unzip able to identify AES password protected zip files and prompt for a password, or do I need to specify more options via parameters when calling it?
[00:35] <Warrigal> Listening to music under Ubuntu on my MacBook, I find that the treble is unusually quiet.  I've tried multiple programs and multiple codecs; they all seem to have the problem.
[00:35] <ploks> Hi, im new to ubuntu/linux, im installing ubuntu on my notebook using virtualbox and right know im using wireless, it is going to be a problem or i need to configure something if i want to access internet not wireless but with cable conencted?
[00:35] <Gambino> External HDD, sda1 (ntfs), sda2 (fat32), and sda3 (ntfs). Which should be partitioned? I also have the choice of 'New Partition Table'.
[00:35] <Warrigal> It sounds muffled, in other words.  Any idea what could cause this?
[00:35] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: could not find any grub.cfg files.
[00:36] <mneptok> Warrigal: you're holding it wrong.
[00:36] <Warrigal> :P
[00:36] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[00:36] <ZykoticK9> ploks, Ubuntu in the VM won't even know about the wireless, it will get it's network info from VirtualBox
[00:36] <bolle> okay so to the people helping me
[00:36] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: I honestly don't remember. It has been on here for 3 years.
[00:36] <bolle> where do i add that one line?
[00:37] <Warrigal> Never mind, I've fixed it.  Apparently, two of the speakers were muted or something.
[00:37] <Garnasha> bolle, you might want to use highlights :P
[00:37] <ploks> ZykoticK9 - > thanks, what aboout if i install it on a normal computer?
[00:37] <bolle> how ! :P
[00:37] <ZykoticK9> ploks, that depends on many factors ;)
[00:37] <ploks> ??
[00:37] <Garnasha> bolle, prefixing your messages with the name of the intended recipient, like I've done now
[00:38] <bolle> Garnasha, like that?
[00:38] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, I was expecting a 9.10 or 10.04 install, which woulr have a grub.cfg. It seems this is an older install the doesn't. Try the "Detect any OS" option.
[00:38] <Garnasha> bolle, yea. Anywhere in the message works for most clients I think
[00:39] <Garnasha> bolle, just to be sure though, put it at the front
[00:39] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: windows nt/2000/xp loader
[00:39] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, are any kernels listed if you run "ls (loop)/boot" ?

[00:40] <pouria> are!
[00:40] <pouria> :))
[00:41] <phaedra> !farsi
[00:41] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ok, unforunately I don't know how wubi worked in 9.04.
[00:41] <IdleOne> phaedra: thank you
[00:41] <phaedra> IdleOne, np
[00:41] <bolle>  Vig0, are you still there?
[00:41] <liam__> could someone send me the code from /etc/default/grub ... i didn't back my original up :(
[00:42] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: If I make a live CD tomorrow, do I just run it the same with start up and follow the directions? (it's been a while since I've loaded it) I'll give that a try.
[00:42] <rww> liam__: Here's mine from 10.04: http://rww.name/dump/grub.txt
[00:42] <Garnasha> people, my IDLE(python IDE using tkinter (tk)) is doing something weird. Whenever a tooltip(like an argument list) closes(like when typing a closing parenthesis), the cursor freezes and I have to move the mouse cursor out of and into the window to unfreeze it. This started in version 9.10. Any ideas what's causing this or workarounds?
[00:42] <liam__> thanks :)
[00:42] <canthus13> Wow. that arabic breaks my screen splits.
[00:43] <topobot> last question
[00:43] <bolle> why is it when i install ubuntu minimal i just get a blinking cursor after the install?
[00:43] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Yes.
[00:43] <topobot> how can i connect  remotely from macosx to a ubuntu computer ?
[00:43] <ZykoticK9> canthus13, split screen in what?  you should probably report a bug against the package anyway ;)
[00:43] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: alright. thanks for trying. :(
[00:43] <malandrao> hey
[00:44] <canthus13> ZykoticK9: Split screen in screen.
[00:44] <h00k> topobot: you could vnc, which Ubuntu has in System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
[00:44] <malandrao> help-me
[00:44] <rww> canthus13: Do you have everything set to work with Unicode? I generally have problems with that if I don't.
[00:44] <malandrao> how about xss???
[00:44] <malandrao> my server is vulnerable
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> canthus13, lol - report against screen then "ubuntu-bug screen"
[00:44] <Garnasha> canthus13, I think he means, what client?
[00:44] <canthus13> rww: You know, you're prolly right. It's probably got somethign to do with PuTTY not implementing UTF-8 properly.
[00:44] <Garnasha> !bug
[00:45] <malandrao> hey!
[00:45] <rww> canthus13: yeah, it's not UTF-8 compatible by default. I think there are settings you can tweak, though I haven't done it in a while.
[00:45] <malandrao> about xss
[00:45] <Gambino> http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/2682/screenshottz.png Which one should I partition, or should I make new table?
[00:46] <canthus13> rww: I've tweaked it to partial compatibility. Still get lotsa squares, tho> :(
[00:46] <topobot> ok thanks
[00:47] <rww> canthus13: I think I ended up installing the Deja Vu fontpack and pointing it at that to get it to work 100%
[00:47] <Garnasha> ubuntu-bug idle3
[00:47] <Garnasha> oh
[00:47] <Garnasha> right
[00:47] <rww> I imagine Windows has some fully-Unicode-capable font by default /somewhere/, though.
[00:47] <Garnasha> terminal command -.-
[00:47] <canthus13> rww: That's a nice idea, but this a portable version. I can't go installing fonts on every machine I run it on. :P
[00:48] <Garnasha> canthus13, so, install it on our portable version :D
[00:48] <Garnasha> canthus13, *your
[00:48] <canthus13> Garnasha: Fonts? In windows? I don't think you can do that... I think they have to be installed on the machine.
[00:49] <Garnasha> canthus13, wai... Windows is portable nowadays?
[00:49] <canthus13> Garnasha: No. but my USB drive is.
[00:49] <Garnasha> canthus13, uhm... portable IRC client?

[00:52] <Garnasha> canthus13, too many, even
[00:53] <canthus13> Garnasha: Well, if you have any questions about screen/irssi, lemme know.

[00:56] <cpu> glick why do you need to become the mysql user?
[00:56] <glick> cpu reset the database root password
[00:56] <ZykoticK9> glick, "using password: NO" means your not entering a password!  if one is already set - you will fail.
[00:56] <cpu> glick there is another way to do that

[01:05] <Gambino>  http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/2682/screenshottz.png I think sda is my external. If I highlight it, I have the option to make new table. Is that the proper way of partitioning it?
[01:05] <VxJasonxV> Is there an MD5/SHA hash of 10.04 LTS somewhere?
[01:06] <ZykoticK9> VxJasonxV, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[01:06] <kuyanatan> can someone help me? i have a computer that freezes when waking on sleep and doesn't respond, causing me to do a hard reset. this only happens when i close the lid of the laptop and not when i click suspend from the power menu. if it helps, when i hibernate (clicking from power menu) it freezes, but not until i can log back on
[01:06] <VxJasonxV> Thanks ZykoticK9
[01:07] <VxJasonxV> I can't even figure out where that's linked from
[01:07] <dogmeat> folks, i have solved my issue
[01:07] <cpu> this vpn issue sucks
[01:07] <ZykoticK9> VxJasonxV, "ubuntu 10.04 md5" was my google search criteria
[01:08] <silentguardian> what's your VPN issue?
[01:08] <Oer> clarnist, tibia.com provides only 32 bit client
[01:08] <cpu> my ubuntu 10.04 laptop wont connect to my ubuntu 10.04 server running pptpd
[01:08] <ZykoticK9> clangor, wrong elf class typically is a wrong architecture error
[01:08] <silentguardian> any particular error?
[01:08] <silentguardian> and what medium between client and host?
[01:09] <ZykoticK9> !who | silentguardian cpu
[01:09] <VxJasonxV> ZykoticK9, yeah, well I was on Ubuntu's site :P.
[01:10] <silentguardian> cpu: sorry, I've gotta brb, if it's a network issue I might be able to help you troubleshoot
[01:10] <cpu> its not a network issue
[01:10] <cpu> all the M$ machines here connect
[01:10] <brokenbynubs> Hi there, I could use some help
[01:10] <silentguardian> cpu: what versions of windows?
[01:10] <cpu> xp , 7
[01:10] <ZykoticK9> !ask | brokenbynubs
[01:11] <silentguardian> cpu: sorry, brb that one moment
[01:12] <Oer> clarnist, open the folder Tibia, and use 'Tibia' withe the square icon, works here
[01:12] <brokenbynubs> I'm trying to install Mass Effect 2 through wine.  I know that the wineapp db says it installs, and i can get through the first install CD just fine.  Once it gets to the 2nd CD, it opens my drive and tells me to put it in... I do and it keeps re-opening the drive and repeating the message.
[01:13] <cpu> silentguardian the only error i really get is LCP timeout sending config files
[01:14] <ZykoticK9> brokenbynubs, if you don't get an answer here you might also want to try #winehq good luck.
[01:15] <Topy> hi again. question, how can i see which repository a package would be installed from?
[01:15] <Topy> (using apt)
[01:16] <CakeProphet> Is this the appropriate channel to ask about specific applications on Ubuntu? Specifically, I was wondering how to make Rhythmbox open a window instead of creating an icon in the notication area by default
[01:17] <thune3> kuyanatan: so hibernate is not working? can you set the lid-close action in Prefs->Power Management to suspend as a workaround?
[01:17] <ZykoticK9> Topy, "apt-cache policy nautilus" and check where the package is downloaded from at the bottom - is one way
[01:17] <Oer> Topy apt-cach show <package>
[01:17] <ZykoticK9> Topy, Oer "show" is much better ;)  thanks Oer
[01:17] <Topy> that worked, thanks
[01:17] <Oer> error apt-cache show
[01:18] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: which distro do you recommend me using?
[01:18] <CakeProphet> Another question: why did volume control disappear from my panel when I upgraded to Lucid? How do I put it back?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Ubuntu 10.04
[01:18] <kuyanatan> thune3: sorry was looking at something
[01:18] <kuyanatan> ok
[01:19] <thedangler> Hello i installed gnome 3 and it didn' change to it. when i tried gnome-shell --replace it switched but everything froze. so i had to restart and now im back to where i was.
[01:19] <ZykoticK9> CakeProphet, Add to Panel - Indicator Applet, i think
[01:19] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: can I use unetbootin to get it?
[01:19] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Yes.
[01:19] <thune3> Oer: how do you tell which is installed from apt-cache show ?
[01:20] <kuyanatan> thune3: it is set to suspend, should i set it to hibernate or blank screen?
[01:20] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: it only goes up to 8.10.
[01:20] <cpu> silentguardian any ideas?
[01:20] <ZykoticK9> thune3, i use "dpkg -l | grep WHATIMLOOKINGFOR" is how i establish if something is installed or not.  one way.
[01:20] <booi> anyone elses gwibber stop working today?
[01:21] <CakeProphet> ZykoticK9:  ah yes, that did it. Too bad it comes with other things I don't really care about. :(
[01:21] <ZykoticK9> booi, if you mean Facebook mine stops for days all the time :(
[01:21] <thune3> ZykoticK9: thx, i'm ok determining which is installed, i'm just wondering how it's possible to determine that from Oer's recommendation: apt-cache show
[01:21] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: (on my unetbootin) i think I downloaded it yesterday
[01:21] <booi> seems like facebook and twitter
[01:21] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: I see 10.04 as an option here.
[01:21] <booi> :(
[01:21] <gafir> hello, what editor/ide or application would you recommend to work on C++ code?
[01:22] <booi> gafir: eclipse
[01:22] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: could my unetbootin just be an old version?
[01:22] <gafir> booi: isn't eclipse primarily dedicated to the development of java applications?
[01:22] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Maybe.
[01:22] <CakeProphet> gafir:  I personally use gedit, but it's a bit sparse as far as IDEs go. It does have useful plugins though.
[01:23] <booi> gafir: it's meant to work for anything but eclipse itself was written in java (and hence it's initial use)
[01:23] <thune3> kuyanatan: i was wondering if hibernate was the problem alone, but it appears not. What laptop model do you have?
[01:23] <Gambino> Installing on ext HDD and I get this error.
[01:23] <Gambino> Input/output error during read on dev/sdc
[01:23] <Gambino>  Ignore/ cancel/ retry. Retry doesn't work.
[01:23] <booi> gafir: we use it for PHP dev
[01:23] <kuyanatan> acer aspire one (actually a cousin's computer)
[01:23] <gafir> booi: for php you should try netbeans really cool :-)
[01:23] <gafir> booi: do you need a plugin to work on C++ on Eclipse? For syntax highlighting and hinting maybe?
[01:24] <thedangler> so is there another way to get the gnome-shell working other then gnome-shell --replace?
[01:24] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: is the latest version 304-1?\
[01:24] <Oer> thune3, me too, actually, it harly telling the repository, only filename can give a hint
[01:24] <CakeProphet> gafir:  if you just want something to get the job done (syntax highlighting, basic auto-tabbing) then gedit is fine.
[01:24] <Topy> does anyone have an idea why slim (display manager) doesnt work on my netbook? it just hangs at "Starting X display manager: slim"
[01:24] <booi> gafir: yes, there's a plugin management system so it should be pretty simple.
[01:24] <Topy> same thing for xdm, only one that seems to work is gdm (havent tried kdm or qingy)
[01:24] <gafir> CakeProphet: I'll try to use gedit too -- this means that you manually go into the terminal and compile your program with gcc right?
[01:24] <booi> gafir: although if you're on windows, visual studio blows everything out of the water. even the free version.
[01:24] <Topy> i would prefer to use slim
[01:24] <gafir> booi: thanks, I'll check it out
[01:24] <booi> gafir: if you're on mac, xcode is better too.
[01:25] <gafir> booi:I'm on Ubuntu
[01:25] <kuyanatan> thune3: if it helps i looked in /var/log/messages and acpi error AE_ALREADY_EXISTS and i have an acer aspire one
[01:25] <kuyanatan> oops already said that
[01:25] <booi> gafir: eclipse is probably your best bet at fully featured dev
[01:25] <booi> gafir: http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
[01:25] <gafir> thanks
[01:25] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Looks like the latest version is 485
[01:26] <CakeProphet> gafir:  yes. There's also a terminal plugin for gedit as well, but that's also manually compiling. It's what "real programmers" do as well as programming native machine code with hex editors, magnets, etc.
[01:26] <cpu> anyone have any luck connecting to another linux box hosting pptp vpn on ubuntu 10.04?
[01:26] <gafir> CakeProphet: cool, so you use gedit for any kind of coding?
[01:26] <deexannihilate> jordan_u: gah. my synaptic shows 304-1. I'm just DL it from the site. can I then use unetbootin to print it to USB?
[01:26] <daniskami> gafir: You might also give Geany a try if you want an IDE more powerful than Gedit but not as bloated as Eclipse
[01:26] <daniskami> But for me, Gedit is more than enough for every programming and editing task
[01:27] <booi> daniskami: i solved the eclipse bloat
[01:27] <booi> by getting 8gb of ram
[01:27] <gafir> daniskami: geany sounds good, been using it before, didn't think about it for C++
[01:27] <CakeProphet> gafir:  more or less I use gedit for everything, but only because I haven't found a more comprehensive IDE that I like (Eclipse and friends) or have the patience to learn (EMACs and friends)
[01:27] <Topy> CakeProphet: there is nothing like coding with a puncher and a stack of old postcards!
[01:27] <daniskami> booi: lol
[01:27] <daniskami> booi: soon, the Eclipse guys will have coped with your 8 gigs :-P
[01:27] <olegteror> пездец русские вымерли?
[01:27] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[01:27] <Oer> Topy, sudo dpkg-reconfigure slim >> http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Minimal-Ubuntu-Linux
[01:27] <Jordan_U> !ru | olegteror
[01:28] <Topy> Oer: done that (several times)
[01:28] <gafir> daniskami: do you need any geany plugin to work on c++ ?
[01:28] <booi> daniskami: 16 then? hey, if you're a programmer by trade, gotta have the best tools.
[01:28] <kevin_> how can I install python 3? I am using a book that I have to learn python, and I want to install it. Last time I tinkered with python 3 and "installed" it, i couldn't boot up into ubuntu. how can I get it to work?
[01:28] <deexannihilate> Jordan_u: i'm using eeebuntu
[01:28] <gafir> daniskami: anything that would enhance the experience?
[01:28] <Topy> Oer: and on my VM, it works perfectly, but it wont run on the eee pc for some reason
[01:28] <olegteror>  /join #ubuntu-ru
[01:28] <Oer> Tpy, logout, change the GDM at login ?
[01:29] <CakeProphet> kevin_:  hmmm, there doesn't seem to be a package for it. You may need to compile from source, but I'm not certain.
[01:29] <daniskami> gafir: It's been a while, so I can't help you with that, sorry
[01:29] <gafir> daniskami: ok thanks
[01:31] <seidos> kevin_, I heard that upgrading to python can break python programs.  But I don't remember where I heard it from, and I'm not sure how true it is.
[01:31] <daniskami> booi: I still have only 1 GB :'(
[01:31] <TiK> question: why is th slider to chose the filesize of the save greyed out whe i try to run startup disk creator on a 64 bit ubuntu install (32 bit ubuntu iso)? i did it ayway to test it and itdoesnt save files.. Ineed it for te 32 bit computes at school
[01:31] <booi> seidos: it's almost guaranteed to break your OS
[01:31] <thune3> kuyanatan: been looking around, do you know *which* aspire one? which model number?
[01:32] <booi> seidos: a lot of system scripts and linked programs use python
[01:32] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Do you have another flash drive?
[01:32] <TiK> hmm
[01:32] <seidos> booi, is this true for debian as well as ubuntu?
[01:33] <was> Hi! i disabled KMS and the splash screen has the wrong resolution. Any ideas on how to fix that?
[01:33] <pfifo> hi guise
[01:33] <kuyanatan> thune3: i think zg5 thanks for al your help
[01:33] <CakeProphet> kevin_:  also Python 3 is fairly new. Does your book specifically want you to use Python 3? Most books are written for Python 2.*
[01:33] <kuyanatan> all
[01:33] <kevin__> CakeProphet, sorry, internet went down. So yeah, i dont know how to do that
[01:33] <booi> seidos: that's probably true for most big distributions
[01:33] <kevin__> yes CakeProphet , thats why :/
[01:34] <seidos> booi, thank you
[01:34] <booi> seidos: usually if you want to play with python 3 it's installed into  a different directory and the binary is called python30 or something to avoid issues with system scripts
[01:34] <trashguy> hello
[01:34] <trism> kevin__: there should be no problems installing the python3 package, as long as you don't set it as the default python
[01:34] <booi> trism: exactly
[01:34] <trashguy> anyoen load any Intel 10gig ixbge drivers in ubuntu?
[01:34] <CakeProphet> kevin__:  hmmm, okay. compiling from source isn't as painful as it sounds. It'll probably be useful knowledge later on, since you're learning how to program.
[01:34] <kevin__> in the Software Center, there is this one that says "Python (v3.1) Interpreter. is that it?
[01:34] <CakeProphet> kevin__:  ah, but apparently there is a python3 package. I searched for the wrong thing. :P
[01:35] <kevin__> I think what I did last time was make it default, as trism suggested I do not do
[01:35] <CakeProphet> kevin__:  on command line: sudo apt-get install python3
[01:36] <CakeProphet> I was looking for a package named python-3.0, as that's the usual convention.
[01:36] <Jordan_U> deexannihilate: Do you have another flash drive?
[01:36] <Daekdroom> !info python3
[01:36] <kevin__> ok so it finished..
[01:36] <booi> python won't be called python-3.0 because it'll upgrade the python-2.6 already on there.
[01:36] <booi> so it's a completely different package
[01:36] <CakeProphet> kevin__:  type "python" on a command line and see what version it says.
[01:37] <kevin__> 2.6.5 :D
[01:37] <kevin__> so it didnt change the default
[01:37] <CakeProphet> kevin__:  correct
[01:37] <CakeProphet> kevin__:  I assume the command "python3" is now Python 3.0
[01:37] <kevin__> is IDLE already probably installed with it?
[01:37] <thune3> kuyanatan: i don't know if i can help, still trying to find info. what is output of "cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name"
[01:37] <trism> kevin__: no by default
[01:37] <kuyanatan> thine3: have no idea if related but checking /var/log/messages can find various instances of acpi errors near times i tried to hibernate or closed the lid.
[01:38] <CAPcap> I want to make a persistent usb of dreamlinux, without having to make a live cd or do i full install of it elsewhere first, are there programs that can do a persistent usb? unetbootin cant
[01:38] <Prasoon> how to download torrent in ubuntu?
[01:38] <trism> kevin__: install idle-python3.1
[01:38] <CakeProphet> kevin__:  package idle-python3.1
[01:38] <kuyanatan> thine3: AOA110
[01:38] <kuyanatan> sorry
[01:38] <kuyanatan> thune3: AOA110
[01:39] <kuyanatan> thune3: sorry if i gave you the wrong one before. looked on back of laptop. thanks for all your help so far!
[01:39] <CAPcap> Prasoon, Applications> Internet> Transmission BitTorrent Client
[01:39] <kevin__> I got it! Thank you guys very very much!
[01:39] <Prasoon> I don't have transmission BitTorrent Client
[01:39] <Oer> have fun all
[01:39] <CAPcap> Prasoon, well then it should be in Synaptic.
[01:40] <Topy> Oer: slim works if i start it manually (gdm stop followed by sudo slim), but on system start i just get "Starting X display manager: slim" and nothing happens
[01:40] <kevin__> Thanks CakeProphet and trism
[01:40] <Prasoon> CAPcap, isn't there utorrent or vuze for ubuntu?
[01:41] <Gambino> I am trying to create a new table on my HDD using the installer, but it is telling me I will delete all info on the drive. I want to dual boot.
[01:41] <CAPcap> Prasoon, I don't know, type them into the search bar in Synaptic Package Manager.
[01:41] <Prasoon> yep. there is!
[01:42] <thune3> kuyanatan: i'm not finding much, if you pastebin the relevant sections of the log, i'll take a look
[01:42] <kuyanatan> ok
[01:42] <CAPcap> Prasoon, opera web browser can also do torrents
[01:42] <Prasoon> but i don't use it.
[01:42] <CAPcap> I rarely download torrents and since i have transmission and opera i never bothered to look further
[01:42] <falckon> Can you use different outputs with different applications with Ubuntu/pulseaudio?
[01:42] <kuyanatan> thune3: its on another computer, gimme a sec
[01:43] <blain> Gambino new table or new partition?
[01:43] <blain> new table means all old partitions are gone
[01:44] <Gambino> New partition, but I did it earlier with my external and it wasn't mounted, so I am just going to partition my internal. But the onlything I can highlight is /sda and then the 'New Table' button highlights.
[01:44] <hydro> Hi, I have ubuntu 9.10 successfully installed on a machine. Something changed and with a KVM setup I no longer get a login prompt after startup at the console. But I can get in if I boot in single user mode. I think the change may have happened after I installed
[01:44] <hydro> Openssh
[01:45] <hydro> Any suggestions would be appreciated
[01:45] <osmodivs> Who knows how to bypass a swap to a node?
[01:45] <Prasoon> CAPcap, Coul not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (11: Resource temrarily unavailable)
[01:45] <Prasoon> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:45] <geowany> good night!
[01:46] <Gambino> blain, Any thoughts on how to do this?
[01:46] <CAPcap> i dont know, thats over my head, Prasoon
[01:46] <bastid_raZor> Prasoon: you have another apt-get or synaptic or software center open. you can use only one at a time.
[01:46] <Prasoon> how to unlock administration directory?
[01:47] <Prasoon> oh okay
[01:47] <CAPcap> I want to make a persistent usb of dreamlinux, without having to make a live cd or do i full install of it elsewhere first, are there programs that can do a persistent usb? unetbootin cant
[01:47] <Prasoon> oh okay, CAPcap
[01:47] <kuyanatan> prasoon: close synaptic and anything else that you entered your password in and then try the command again
[01:47] <Prasoon> yyeahh..
[01:47] <blain> Gambino are you sure you're picking the right drive? or is it encrypted?
[01:47] <kuyanatan> prasoon: you can only have one instance open at once
[01:47] <Prasoon> umm how to uninstall any softwqare
[01:48] <Prasoon> software**
[01:48] <blain> apt-get remove ?
[01:48] <Prasoon> okay
[01:48] <Gambino> I am sure I am choosing the right drive. I think I need 'add' to be highlighted, but only New Partition Table, highlights.
[01:49] <blain> Prasoon that only applies to software installed using the repositories
[01:49] <blain> Gambino weird
[01:49] <hylian> iamchris the only reason there is a netbook version is because of screen size and battery life. the full version of ubuntu is perfect for a laptop.
[01:49] <Prasoon> blain, ok thanks
[01:50] <laurence> hello anyone good with java?
[01:50] <Lantizia> Anyone used gnoMint in here?
[01:50] <blain> i've programmed java some years ago
[01:50] <laurence> hey blain i ask because i have a hw assignment im working on
[01:50] <laurence> if u want to help that be great
[01:50] <Prasoon> how to search for program installed in the computer. I just installed bittorrent but can't find it on the internet section. where do i open it from.
[01:51] <blain> apt-cache search
[01:51] <bastid_raZor> Prasoon: bittorent is commane line only.
[01:51] <hylian> iamchris under power management you can set whether to see the battery indicator or not, system - preferences -power management
[01:51] <bastid_raZor> Prasoon: command line only.. man bittorrent on how to use it.
[01:51] <Prasoon> bastid_raZor, how to use it
[01:52] <blain> use vuze for torrent download
[01:52] <kuyanatan> thune3: sorry i can't seem to find it again
[01:52] <Prasoon> blain, ^^ for me ?
[01:52] <bastid_raZor> blain: bleh, nice heavy weigth app for simple torrent downloads.. tranmission is installed by default
[01:52] <kuyanatan> thune3: i was at ubuntu-beginners first, they suggested i go to ubuntu-kernel and nobody answered me there
[01:53] <blain> maybe
[01:53] <blain> it's the best bittorrent client
[01:53] <blain> no question about that
[01:53] <kuyanatan> blain: whats the best bittorrent client?
[01:53] <blain> and it's java, so multi-platform
[01:53] <hylian> as for network, you just want to see how strong your strength is, or whether you connected? because under system preference network connections you can check all that, and that should also be available via the menubar's network connection manager
[01:53] <blain> vuze aka azureus
[01:53] <bastid_raZor> blain: if you don't need all the bloat it brings.. it is not the best.
[01:54] <kuyanatan> ah
[01:54] <blain> you don't know you need them until you see them ^^
[01:54] <newbi> hola

[02:02] <Prasoon> bastid_raZor, how can i do that?
[02:03] <Topy> blain: what does that do?
[02:03] <bastid_raZor> Prasoon: right click on the panel > add to panel > force quit
[02:03] <webPragmatist> any ideas why ssh would say connection refused after reboot? I don't have iptables enabled… It's like it doesn't boot all the way possibly
[02:03] <blain> Topy would add slim to init level 3 if the init script has that name
[02:04] <Topy> blain: it did...something. no output. i'll try restarting
[02:04] <liam_> Does anyone have any idea why plymouth isn't loading my boot/shutdown splash ?
[02:05] <blain> Topy
[02:05] <Garnasha> Ok, I filed a bug report. How long should I expect to have to wait before seeing an importance assigned/a workaround suggested/a fix released?
[02:05] <blain> chkconfig --list slim
[02:05] <rahduke> Anyone know about MediaTomb? Setting it up and whatnot???
[02:05] <Topy> blain: no change, it hangs at "Starting X display manager: slim"
[02:05] <eve> it will be your death
[02:06] <Topy> blain: that says: slim 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
[02:06] <blain> then it's starting at boot
[02:07] <Topy> hm, i just realized... i think it only works if i load and stop gdm first
[02:07] <Topy> maybe gdm initializes something slim needs?
[02:07] <blain> what's slim btw
[02:07] <Garnasha> xD
[02:07] <Topy> display manager, like gdm, kdm, ...
[02:07] <Topy> but lightweight and...nice
[02:07] <blain> chkconfig gdm off
[02:07] <Topy> already tried that
[02:08] <blain> sorry never heard of it
[02:08] <Aiya> hello.~I want to ask i cant enable the  cubic effect in my ubuntu-netbook.How do i enable it?
[02:08] <blain> i just use kde
[02:08] <Aiya> How do I use it?
[02:08] <rahduke> so noone is up on media tomb? not a one of ya
[02:08] <Topy> blain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLiM
[02:08] <blain> Aiya systems settings -> desktop effects
[02:08] <hiexpo> i had the weirdest thing happen i compiles an app  and went to run it and everytime no such command but if i cd to the dir where it was installed than run it / it works ?
[02:09] <blain> Topy thanks but im not interested
[02:09] <Topy> blain: just saying :)
[02:09] <blain> my hardware is here to be used
[02:10] <liam_> Does anyone have any idea why plymouth isn't loading my boot/shutdown splash ?
[02:10] <gafir> is C++ still the leading language for programs on Mac/Linux/Windows?
[02:10] <blain> gafir for kde it is
[02:11] <gafir> blain: and gnome?
[02:11] <deexannihilate> jordan_u
[02:11] <Topy> what exactly does "sudo gdm" do? as in, is there a script being run somewhere? i can now confirm that for some reason, slim will only run if gdm was started before
[02:11] <blain> gafir gnome still has a lot of stuff in C
[02:12] <Topy> ah, just found it, /etc/init.d/gdm and /etc/init.d/slim
[02:12] <gafir> blain: ok, I see -- so C++ is definitely better to learn than C?
[02:12] <Mahjongg> gafir, you learn c++
[02:12] <blain> yes
[02:12] <gafir> Mahjongg blain: because anyway if you understand C++ you can understand code in C no?
[02:12] <danb> hi
[02:13] <blain> sorta
[02:13] <Mahjongg> gafir, true but if you understand you'll understand c++ too
[02:13] <Mahjongg> gafir, true but if you understand C you'll understand c++ too
[02:13] <gafir> Mahjongg: but C++ is object oriented while C isn't, so it makes a cleaner start to go with C++ no?
[02:13] <Mahjongg> you can write OO codes in C too
[02:13] <Aiya> I have enable by system > app> visual effect but how do I make like cubic and squere and control it.? Any tutorial?
[02:13] <blain> no
[02:14] <Mahjongg> gafir, OOP is a style
[02:14] <gafir> Mahjongg: didn't know C was also object oriented
[02:14] <hiexpo> why when i type a command i get notfound but if i cd to it and than type the command it runs ?
[02:14] <blain> OO came later
[02:14] <gafir> Mahjongg: it requires to create classes -- so the language has to support classes no?
[02:14] <Mahjongg> gafir, C has structs
[02:14] <Mahjongg> similar to classes
[02:14] <blain> thats not a class
[02:14] <bastid_raZor> hiexpo: the /path/to/file is not in your $PATH
[02:14] <blain> not even close
[02:14] <gafir> blain: so C isn't OO?
[02:14] <blain> nop
[02:15] <gafir> but C++ is
[02:15] <hiexpo> ok check it in nano
[02:15] <blain> y
[02:15] <gafir> Mahjongg blain: thanks for your help
[02:15] <Mahjongg> sigh
[02:15] <blain> java is also
[02:15] <hiexpo> bastid_raZor,  thanks
[02:16] <Aiya> I have enable cube effect by system > app> visual effect but how do I make like cubic and squere and control it.? Any tutorial?
[02:16] <Spanglish_7776> hiexpo if you create a dir in your home dir called bin and place the script there it will run from command line.
[02:16] <blain> ctrl+alt+arrow
[02:16] <Spanglish_7776> hiexpo or program
[02:17] <hiexpo> Spanglish_7776,  ok
[02:17] <Aiya> blain: Notting happens when I ctrl+alt+arrow
[02:17] <Aiya> Why?
[02:18] <dma> can i transfer my hard drive with ubuntu os to a different computer
[02:18] <blain> sure
[02:18] <dma> do i have to re-install ubuntu
[02:18] <blain> as long as the arch is the same
[02:18] <blain> no
[02:18] <thegrasshoper> why is  my firefox randomly close? when watching videos on youtube.. only on some videos though?? :S
[02:19] <dma> if arc is different do i have to re-install ubuntu
[02:19] <thegrasshoper> closing(
[02:19] <blain> crash?
[02:19] <blain> is it version >3.6.6 ?
[02:19] <blain> dma it probably won't work if the architecure changes
[02:19] <blain> cpu i mean
[02:20] <dma> if it is diffrent than do i have to re-install ubuntu
[02:20] <blain> im not sure
[02:20] <blain> try it an see
[02:20] <dma> okay i will try thanks
[02:20] <Cityscape> dma: depends
[02:21] <bastid_raZor> dma: if you have a 64bit OS installed and try to move it to box that has a 32bit only processor then yes. if you have 32bit OS it should work regardless
[02:21] <dma> okay thanks guys
[02:21] <blain> good night
[02:21] <Cityscape> dma: if you switch from a 32 intel arc to a 64 bit intel/amd arc then probably not
[02:21] <Aiya> I set the visual effect at extra but when Check back its back to none.Why its happens?
[02:22] <rahduke> comeon someone help me with this media tomb issue.... I found my server from my other device, but everytime i try to play a video the server spits out "ERROR: no valid handler type in http://192.168.1.100:49152/content/media/object_id/1696/res_id/0/ext/file.avi" .... can someone tell me what that means?
[02:22] <Cityscape> Aiya: something is stopping it from using extra. probably a bad graphics driver or too old graphics card.
[02:23] <Cityscape> Aiya: how old is your computer?
[02:24] <Aiya> Cityscape: How do I figure it out.My laptop is new and using NVIDIA grapic
[02:24] <Cityscape> Aiya: you probably need a better driver.
[02:25] <Spanglish_7776> Aiya you will probably need to install the proprietary drivers for NVIDIA for linux.
[02:25] <Aiya> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/57jV8B8J
[02:25] <un214> When's the last time somebody tried a new ubuntu install in qemu?
[02:25] <Aiya> Can you check this
[02:26] <Aiya> My driver was disable restricted but i enable it
[02:26] <eve> anyone particularly familiar with MDADM and the events it produces? My array seems to say 1200 events since it was built a few days ago. It is degraded sicne 1 drive is dead, and i've gotten a couple of meails about that. but the other events?
[02:26] <Aiya> Spanglish_7776: Cityscape: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/57jV8B8J
[02:27] <Cityscape> Aiya: go to System > Administration > Hardware drivers. does it recommend a driver there?
[02:27] <Aiya> Cityscape: Is says recommand
[02:27] <Aiya> Cityscape: yes
[02:27] <Cityscape> Aiya: I don't know about your link there, doesn't look reliable.
[02:27] <Cityscape> Is it a graphics driver?
[02:28] <CAPcap> I want to make a persistent usb of dreamlinux, without having to make a live cd or do i full install of it elsewhere first, are there programs that can do a persistent usb? unetbootin cant
[02:28] <Aiya> Cityscape: that is the graphic driver in hardware driver when i enable it
[02:29] <Cityscape> Okay Aiya: enable/install the graphics driver you see in Hardware Drivers
[02:29] <Aiya> Cityscape: I have enable it
[02:29] <bastid_raZor> CAPcap: usb-creator-gtk
[02:29] <Aiya> This driver is active
[02:30] <Cityscape> Aiya: Okay if everything looks good then close Hardware Drivers and then try setting it to high effects
[02:30] <xenogia> hi guys.. does anyone know how to stop vertical sync tearing in videos on an nvidia card with compiz turned on.
[02:31] <Daekdroom> Aiya, don't forget to restart the graphical server after activating the driver
[02:31] <lcuk> my god tearing problems are everywhere
[02:31] <Spanglish_7776> Aiya did you reboot or log out and log back in
[02:31] <rahduke> xengoria
[02:31] <rahduke> i do
[02:31] <Cityscape> Aiya: reboot your computer first
[02:32] <rahduke> xenogia: open compiz settings goto general options and set the refresh rate to 60
[02:32] <xenogia> rahduke: i've done that
[02:32] <Aiya> Daekdroom: Spanglish_7776: I have to reboot after choose the extra option in visual effect?
[02:32] <xenogia> still get it unfortanetly
[02:32] <xenogia> no tearing in games, or the desktop
[02:32] <xenogia> just movies
[02:32] <rahduke> xenogia: then open nvida settings then goto xserver and check the sync to vblank box
[02:32] <Daekdroom> Aiya, reboot or closing the session and restarting it
[02:32] <Spanglish_7776> aiya before you do that
[02:32] <rahduke> works for me
[02:32] <Cityscape> Aiya: reboot before
[02:33] <rahduke> i've done it on at least 10 dif computers all media center boxes
[02:33] <xenogia> rahduke: all vsync options are turned in nvidia-settings and compiz.  even added the nvidia-settings -l to my startup applications
[02:33] <xenogia> i don't know why then
[02:33] <rahduke> yup nvidia -l
[02:33] <lcuk> does it tear if you turn off compiz
[02:33] <Aiya> Daekdroom: How do I restart the graphical server after activating the driver?
[02:33] <Cityscape> Aiya: then after your computer restarts enable extra effects
[02:33] <rahduke> was about to tell u that
[02:33] <xenogia> lcuk: if i turn compositing off it doesn't tear
[02:33] <Daekdroom> Aiya, just restart.
[02:33] <Aiya> Cityscape: Spanglish_7776: how do I restart the graphical server after activating the driver?
[02:33] <Cityscape> Aiya: if you reboot it will restart the graphical server.
[02:33] <rahduke> who knows about mediatomb?
[02:33] <rahduke> come on ppl
[02:33] <lcuk> xenogia, what model nvidia and res are you running?
[02:34] <lcuk> are you at the limits of it
[02:34] <Aiya> Ok
[02:34] <Aiya> BRB
[02:34] <rahduke> the Samsung Galaxy S runnin android is sickkkk!
[02:34] <xenogia> lcuk: gtx 275 and two 21" lcds running at 1920x1080
[02:34] <Spanglish_7776> Aiya I think logging out and logging back in will do it but your best bet is just to reboot
[02:34] <xenogia> as stated only happens in videos (tried nv, x11, vdpau and gl)
[02:35] <xenogia> xbmc is the only program it doesn't tear with
[02:35] <lcuk> xenogia, sure, yuv to rgb conversion is hard
[02:35] <lcuk> (for the composited overlay)
[02:35] <xenogia> lcuk: even upgraded compiz to 0.8.6 and turned off undirect fullscreen
[02:35] <deexannihilate> Jordan_U: Yes, I have another USB. I just finished downloading 10.04 from the website and I'm using Unetbootin to print it to another USB right now
[02:36] <xenogia> a really annoying bug
[02:36] <lcuk> xenogia, shame really, on a hunch try lowering the resolution and see what point it stops tearing
[02:36] <lcuk> it could simply be that the drivers are doing all they can
[02:38] <xenogia> lcuk: i did notice the tearing is only at the top of the screen
[02:38] <lcuk> xenogia, just cover that with some duct tape then

[02:39] <Aiya> I have reboot and when I choose the the extra option in visual effectt its still back to its none option
[02:39] <lcuk> xenogia, same res?
[02:39] <xenogia> yeah same res
[02:40] <thegrasshoper> Why is my firefox closing when browsing youtube? just says Illegal instruction in terminal
[02:41] <Carlos_Gong> thegrasshoper: then what were you working on in terminal at that time?
[02:41] <Spanglish_7776> Aiya: is the driver still enabled?
[02:41] <xenogia> lcuk: must rip hair out
[02:41] <thegrasshoper> well i ran it from terminal to see what i got
[02:41] <lor> hi! why don't I see the suspend button in the shutdown menu?
[02:42] <Aiya> Spanglish_7776: the driver is enable
[02:42] <lcuk> xenogia, i dont like video tearing either :) so much so i wrote a little something to whack it on the head ;)
[02:42] <thegrasshoper> some youtube videos play fine? thats what i dont understand
[02:42] <Spanglish_7776> Aiya: which version of ubuntu are you using
[02:43] <Cityscape> Aiya: so it still won't stay on extra?
[02:43] <forrestv> how can i downgrade a package (i believe there's a bug in a recent update to libsdl1.2)? `apt-cache showpkg` only shows the current version, so i'm not sure if there are even multiple versions in the repo
[02:43] <Spanglish_7776> Cityscape: na, still being silly
[02:43] <Aiya> Im using ubuntu netbook 9.04 (new version which i download yesterday)
[02:43] <ksbalaji> I have installed some unique packages like G.chrome, opera, etc and a few more under wine in Hardy 8.04. If I upgrade, will I loose them? If I have to install again, I wish to have a list of all apps I have to reinstall. Would I be warned of this while Upgrading?
[02:43] <Aiya> Cityscape: yes.Its wont stay
[02:43] <DarkStar1> Does the standard Remote desktop that comes with gnome allow other users to log in remotely? into their own shell?
[02:44] <DarkStar1> users created on the system only
[02:44] <Cityscape> Aiya: 9.04 is still 2 versions old. the latest is 10.04
[02:44] <george_> ^X
[02:44] <bastid_raZor> DarkStar1: remote desktop has nothing to do with the ability to ssh in.
[02:44] <Aiya> Cityscape: How do I check the version?
[02:44] <Spanglish_7776> DarkStar1: remote desktop is basically vnc
[02:45] <IMTheNachoMan> anyone know of any hardware test software for linux? live cd based?
[02:45] <Spanglish_7776> DarkStar1 have to be logged in and it uses the active session
[02:45] <ksbalaji> which is the latest LTS after 8.04?
[02:45] <DarkStar1> bastid_raZor: I never said anything about SSH-ing in
[02:45] <Spanglish_7776> ksbalaji 10.04

[02:45] <bastid_raZor> DarkStar1: how else would they get to shell/bash?
[02:46] <squirrelly> What is a good resource/method to practice using the terminal? I'd like to become more proficient in what it does and why I should use it
[02:46] <mneptok> ksbalaji: 10.04

[02:47] <ksbalaji> Spanglish_7776, while upgrading from 8.04, will I get a list of all apps I may have to reinstall?
[02:48] <Spanglish_7776> ksbalaji: I am not sure, I didn't upgrade I just did a fresh install, I'm funny like that.
[02:48] <mneptok> ksbalaji: apps will be updated, too
[02:48] <mneptok> ksbalaji: unless you did not install them from repositories
[02:50] <squirrelly> Thank you
[02:50] <Spanglish_7776> DarkStar1 Remote Desktop is essentially a vnc instance that allows a person to log into an active login session, I doubt it'll do what you are asking.
[02:51] <ksbalaji> mneptok, thanks - but some I think I did not do from repisitories. like Opera G.Chrome,etc. especially, I use good old adept manager for updates even with 8.04. I wish to retain them or reinstall. I do not have a list. How can I get a list between these two versions (one I have and 10.04?)
[02:51] <Cityscape> Aiya: okay that's a good version
[02:53] <ksbalaji> I wish to prepare a list of apps I now have and which are not in 10.4. How to do get that please?
[02:54] <ennui> does anyone know of a way to disable the speaker muting upon headphones being plugged in?
[02:55] <Spanglish_7776> Aiya: I found this on a forum... "Netbook Edition doesn't use compiz, so no extra desktop effects. If you want desktop effects, at login you might have to change the session to regular ubuntu, not ubuntu netbook edition."

[02:58] <Zhenya> hi guys can anyone here help with me a USB mounting problem??
[02:59] <Spanglish_7776> ksbalaji: I tend to back up everything just in case so it makes upgrading OS a bit easier for me. as for the apps I may need loaded for the most part, everything I have I can get again fairly easily.
[02:59] <DarkStar1> what's the default port for RD on Ubuntu?
[02:59] <deexannihilate> Can someone please run me through setting up a Live USB through Unetbootin and running it on my other computer. I've followed the basic steps, but I can't seem to get it to boot from the USB.
[02:59] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: what's up
[02:59] <Spanglish_7776> DarkStar1 5900
[03:00] <Zhenya> Spanglish_7776: thanks for responding! When itry to mount any drive type devices it takes about an hour to recognise it. is there away to force to reread the attached drives?
[03:01] <Spanglish_7776> is it a flashdrive or an external USB drive?
[03:01] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya ^^
[03:01] <Zhenya> flash drive! the external drives seem to mount fine!
[03:01] <Zhenya> (actually one is an android phone, the other is a ipod shuffle thingie)
[03:01] <ksbalaji> Spanglish_7776, speaking of backup, which would you suggest for about 80GB of data?
[03:02] <DarkStar1> Spanglish_7776: Thanks
[03:03] <ksbalaji> I hav a D
[03:03] <Spanglish_7776> ksbalaji: I have a server I store my files on and I back up my important data to DVD's. for 80gbs, probably an external USB drive

[03:05] <Spanglish_7776> ksbajaji: 80gb of DVDs is quite a few DVDs ;) lots of work but it can be done.
[03:05] <ksbalaji> Spanglish_7776, are public servers online ok for storing data?
[03:05] <deexannihilate> Would someone mind walking me through making a live USB and booting from it. I used unetbootin to make it, but I can't boot from it. :(
[03:05] <Loshki> ksbalaji: I would say hard drives. Nothing else gives you 80GB of storage for the price...
[03:05] <Zhenya> Spanglish_7776: any ideas?
[03:05] <saleh> anyone help ?!!!
[03:06] <Spanglish_7776> ksbajali: I use Dropbox, but they only give two gigs free and i'm cheap, I encrypt everything before storing it online. I'm paranoid.
[03:06] <ksbalaji> Loshki, I am wondering if a public server online (internet) would be of help. would it be faast enough?
[03:06] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: hmmm. so USB drives are ok but flashdrives not so much?

[03:09] <Zhenya> saleh: i am a noob too but try pressing alt-f2 and typing in toshiba (that might only work in kde....)
[03:09] <Loshki> ksbalaji: if you look at cost, it's hard to beat a 3.5" sata hard drive for price per gigabyte...
[03:10] <ksbalaji> Spanglish_7776, thanks for Dropbox sugg. I also feel I can use them. May be in a few servers! Loshki -AH! yes. maybe 20 DVDs. But for me, I have no spares. I may have to borrow.
[03:10] <saleh> i am using gnome
[03:11] <lcuk> saleh, since you know about the toshiba utilities, i gather you read a website to find them?  did it not list install instructions?
[03:12] <Spanglish_7776> ksbajaji: no problem. I honestly think getting an external drive for that much data would be quickest. maybe even cheaper in the long run
[03:14] <ksbalaji> Loshki, Spanglish_7776 thanks. I feel I have to get an extern. driv abt 500GB capac . which may be cheap in the long run.
[03:15] <ksbalaji> Loshki, 3.5 sata extern -? sugg.capacity?
[03:15] <Spanglish_7776> ksbajali: sure thing. I would also back up important stuff on DVD's and keep them safe.  but that's me, extra careful/
[03:16] <ksbalaji> Spanglish_7776, how fast is external disk? as fast as your harddrive?
[03:16] <Loshki> ksbalaji: actually, if reliability is an issue, far better to have 2 * 250GB drives than one 500GB, on the assumption that they're much less likely to fail *at the same time*. On a separate machine would be even better, in case of controller failure, power etc. that might wipe everything out at the same time. How much you spend depends on how valuable the data are...
[03:18] <Spanglish_7776> ksbalaji: if you have an eSata port that would probably be fastest you can probably get 7200rpm external eSata drive
[03:18] <Loshki> ksbalaji: btw, this probably belongs on -offtopic, since it's not distro-specific...
[03:18] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: still looking... 1 sec
[03:18] <Zhenya> Spanglish_7776: thanks for remembering about me :D
[03:19] <ksbalaji> Loshki, ok. thanks. It would help people upgrading - i trust.
[03:19] <deexannihilate> Is anyone able to help me partition/format a USB, so that I can create a liveCD?
[03:20] <Aji-Dahaka> I'm going to sound like a nube, but with the newest release of ubuntu, hooking an ipod touch up yields no interplay.  I get a line in dmesg but no prompt for "what would you like to do with this here ipod?"
[03:21] <Loshki> Aji-Dahaka: I've never done it, but have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone ?
[03:21] <Daekdroom> Aji-Dahaka, it should display two pop ups
[03:22] <Daekdroom> Or one, depending on the iPod version.
[03:22] <Daekdroom> One regarding the photos and one regarding music.
[03:23] <jacob__> hey guys, is there a way to use gtalk voice in ubuntu
[03:23] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: is the transfer rate to the usb flash drive slow? or  just take a while to mount?
[03:23] <Loshki> deexannihilate: I've never done it, but this page talks about formatting a usb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[03:23] <sisd02> anyone know a good flash drive recovery program?
[03:23] <Zhenya> takes forever to mount
[03:23] <Zhenya> for example
[03:24] <Aji-Dahaka> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGf4i_kxqRU&feature=player_embedded#! <-- that video implies there should be pop-ups, but I'm getting none
[03:24] <Zhenya> its not even mounting
[03:24] <Loshki> !testdisk | sisd02
[03:24] <Zhenya> its realizing there is something to mount
[03:24] <Aji-Dahaka> any idea how to debug this thinger?
[03:24] <sisd02> thanks loshki
[03:25] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: you know, I had an issue similar to that. I had mounted a drive from /dev/sdb and when i plugged in a flash drive it wouldn't mount.
[03:25] <Loshki> sisd02: see if there's anything here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery   It talks about testdisk...
[03:25] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: I wonder if that is going on with you.
[03:25] <Zhenya> Spanglish_7776: well i hope so, especially if you have a fix :P
[03:25] <deexannihilate> loshki: thanks. I looked at that link but it doesn't show me how to format. I found one that went through the steps, but it isn't working for me.
[03:26] <jacob__> hey guys, is there a way to use gtalk voice in ubuntu?
[03:26] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: was fixed as soon as I removed the fstab entry to mount /dev/sdb
[03:26] <Spanglish_7776> soon as I removed that it mounted them flawlessly.
[03:26] <Zhenya> Spanglish_7776: I would love to know how to do that :D
[03:27] <Loshki> deexannihilate: I've never done it :-). Does gparted see the device?
[03:27] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: do you have a external USB drive you have mounted permanently?
[03:27] <deexannihilate> loshki: it's ok. I've done it a few times before and I'm still failing. I ran df -h and it recognizes the device
[03:27] <shabbu> Need help: Error in installing ubuntu 9.10 server in virtual machine manager (QEMU). I pasted my error here http://paste.ubuntu.com/464317/
[03:28] <Zhenya> Spanglish_7776: nope
[03:28] <wildbat> hmm, question is it possible to route ALL the connections thru SSH tunneling ??
[03:28] <Loshki> deexannihilate: is there an error message?
[03:28] <xenogia> has anyone had any issues with fsck doing weird things at boot up.. like stalling?
[03:28] <deexannihilate> loshki: the next step was to run fdisk /dev/sdb and it says unable to open
[03:28] <Spanglish_7776> wildbat: if you set socks on the system to point to the ssh tunnel then I believe so
[03:29] <wildbat> Spanglish_7776, how to ?
[03:29] <Loshki> wildbat: I suppose, but ssh is usually only used for specific applications that use tcp connections...
[03:30] <Loshki> deexannihilate: try 'sudo fdisk -l' <--- that's a lower case L. Wanna pastebin the output?
[03:30] <ph1l> on hardy gem search -r gemname doesn't list anything
[03:30] <shabbu> Need help. Error in installing ubuntu 9.10 server in virtual machine manager (QEMU). I pasted my error here http://paste.ubuntu.com/464317/
[03:31] <ph1l> woks on all my other machines...
[03:32] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: do you have an external USB drive plugged in when you plug in the flash drive?
[03:32] <Loshki> I wish my machine had its own wok
[03:32] <deexannihilate> loshki: do I just paste it in and submit?

[03:32] <sunzaru> linux/ubuntu noob question "you must restart your session" is that a logoff and on? or a reboot ?
[03:32] <Loshki> deexannihilate: yep, first time's that hardest...
[03:32] <Spanglish_7776> sunzaru: yep
[03:33] <deexannihilate> loshki: I believe I did it correctly
[03:33] <Loshki> deexannihilate: now tell us the url it gave you :-)
[03:33] <sunzaru> err.. there were 2 questions there spanglish.  a reboot OR a logoff.. or come to think of it.. maybe you mean eather one will work..
[03:33] <jimerickson> sunzaru logoff
[03:33] <deexannihilate> loshki: http://pastebin.com/8YNy1MNu ? haha
[03:33] <sunzaru> kk tnx :D
[03:33] <sunzaru> brb
[03:33] <Spanglish_7776> sunzaru: either
[03:34] <Zhenya> Spanglish_7776: nope, dont do that
[03:34] <Loshki> deexannihilate: good, your device is /dev/sdb1. You can try 'sudo fsck /dev/sdb1' but I don't know how much checking you can do on a FAT16 filesystem...
[03:35] <seidos> is it possible to *totally* reinitialize wireless without rebooting?
[03:35] <alazyworkaholic> Is there a QoS app for Ubuntu that would work like tomato router firmware? It's okay if it's only\ for traffic in/out of a single computer rather than a network.
[03:35] <deexannihilate> loshki: what am i supposed to do after i try 'sudo fsck /dev/sdb1'.. as you can tell, I have no idea what i'm doin. :(
[03:36] <Loshki> deexannihilate: well, what happened when you typed 'sudo fsck /dev/sdb1' ?
[03:37] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: hmmm. no idea.. :(
[03:37] <MaRk-I> seidos: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:37] <deexannihilate> loshki: http://pastebin.com/KFgHn93c
[03:38] <seidos> MaRk-I, tried that already.  What does it do?  It doesn't fix my wireless problem.  Does sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart affect the kernel in any way?
[03:38] <Loshki> deexannihilate: see, told you first time was the hardest! That's a perfectly good fsck, since the word 'error' doesn't appear anywhere. Go on to the next step in your instructions. Which web page are you using, btw?
[03:38] <MaRk-I> seidos: no, that just restarts networking wireless/wired
[03:39] <Zhenya> Spanglish_7776: welp :(
[03:39] <omsi> #msg  hola
[03:39] <omsi> hola]
[03:39] <seidos> hmmm, maybe my problem is with the kernel then, or the wireless module
[03:39] <russ> anh  help please ... I downloaded all the most recent updates to my Hardy system and now the flash player in Firefox is not working
[03:39] <seidos> !es | omsi
[03:39] <rafael> KE ONDA
[03:40] <omsi> ke haces we
[03:40] <seidos> !es | rafael
[03:40] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: do you know how to use the terminal
[03:40] <deexannihilate> loshki: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo
[03:40] <Loshki> seidos: a *complete* reinitialization probably requires power cycling the wireless card, because half of it is hardware...
[03:40] <omsi> jaja
[03:41] <Loshki> deexannihilate: a fedora system? Or are you using fedora instructions on Ubuntu :-)
[03:41] <Zhenya> Spanglish_7776: marginally :D but i can get around
[03:41] <omsi> jaja
[03:41] <omsi> y si ami me gusta palticar aqui
[03:41] <omsi> ke pasa
[03:41] <seidos> Loshki, hmmm, you gave me an idea.  I have a switch on the front of my laptop to turn wireless on/off, maybe that will fix it
[03:41] <Spanglish_7776> Zhenya: open a terminal plug in the drive and type dmesg
[03:41] <deexannihilate> loshki: i told you i don't know what i'm doing! the commands seemed to be the same as the one's i used yesterday with the help of someone that does know what they're doing!

[03:43] <slacker-> Hi, I've got an Intel 82G965 onboard video card. After the upgrade to lucid, the console is black
[03:44] <Loshki> seidos: might work...
[03:44] <slacker-> I put vga16fb in the framebuffer blacklist
[03:44] <slacker-> Is there any way I can get the console back without rebooting?
[03:44] <slacker-> the module won't unload because it's in use
[03:44] <slacker-> this is still on grub1
[03:45] <MaRk-I> slacker-: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[03:45] <russ> any  help out there to get the flash player in Firefox working on my Hardy system?
[03:45] <slacker-> MaRk-I: without rebooting?
[03:45] <russ> It's preventing me from watching the Daily Show, which you will all agree constitutes an emergency
[03:46] <MaRk-I> append i915.modeset=1 or i915.modeset=0 to the grub line
[03:46] <russ> seriously, any help appreciated ... stopped working when I updated my system last night
[03:47] <Loshki> deexannihilate: I'm not convinced the instructions are valid for lucid. What about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick instead?
[03:48] <Loshki> russ: um, it's just a guess, but trying reinstalling flash?
[03:49] <russ> Loshi tried it to no avail
[03:49] <deexannihilate> loshki: the only problem is it doesn't show me how to format the USB. I found another link that I'm going to try. I attempted using unetbootin yesterday to make a bootable disk of Super Grub and the computer I was using would not read the disk using just unetbootin, so Jordan_U had me unmount and format it, rerun it and it worked. So that's what I'm attempting to do now.
[03:49] <russ> Loshi I even rebooted my system!
[03:50] <russ> Loshi other audio and video files work
[03:50] <MakX> Are there any other decent ubuntu download mangers out there? I just need it to do multithread, support login/auth for the files and scheduler. Have tried d4x but it's not very friendly. Uget is great but no scheduler.
[03:50] <Loshki> russ: a reboot was a good thing to try, but I think a flash reinstall would give better results...
[03:51] <Loshki> deexannihilate: well, it's already formatted to fat16 according to fdisk, and fsck thinks it's ok. so does unetbootin read it?
[03:51] <danb> i was using open office and it seems inferior in many respects to windows office. can i install microsoft office on ubuntu?
[03:52] <KBentley57> anyone good with LTSP?
[03:52] <Buntfu> hello everyone
[03:52] <russ> Loshi well I guess I can try that again ... this time I will uninstall and then reinstall. do you recommend the flash_nonfree from synaptic pkg manager, or download directly from Adobe?
[03:52] <danb> that and why cant linux even support directx?
[03:52] <ravibn> How do I compile Ubuntu Pl guide me ?
[03:52] <KBentley57> directX = microsoft
[03:53] <danb> opengl = inferior
[03:53] <thetimzinho> hi i need an information
[03:53]  * YankDownUnder needs a drink
[03:53] <KBentley57> what's your point?
[03:53] <ShawnRisk> ubuntu keeps crashing everytime I wakeup the laptop from suspend.  Any ideas how to fix this?
[03:53] <Loshki> danb: some of it can be run under wine, Crossover office is a commercial product which aims to provide microsoft office on Linux....
[03:53] <KBentley57> Shawn, are you running a stock kernel?
[03:53] <rsouthard> Is there a maverick meerkat irc channel Ubottu?
[03:54] <ShawnRisk> KBentley57: how can I tell?
[03:54] <russ> ShawnRisk I recommend disabling suspend mode - it always causes trouble on my system too
[03:54] <thetimzinho> any help here?
[03:54] <deexannihilate> loshi: yes. should I run unetbootin again and try booting from it?
[03:54] <ShawnRisk> russ: what mode should I put this in, when I close the laptop?
[03:54] <KBentley57> what is your prob timzinho?
[03:54] <rww> rsouthard: #ubuntu+1
[03:54] <KBentley57> SLeep would be best shawn
[03:54] <thetimzinho> first of all..
[03:54] <russ> ShawnRisk how about ON mode?
[03:55] <KBentley57> if you have that option
[03:55] <danb> is there andyway to make ubuntu look like windows 7 cuz windows 7 is better? i was just stuck with this ubuntu thing for a week at my job.
[03:55] <thetimzinho> is there any difference betwen driver downloaded from ubuntu and nvdia?
[03:55] <MaRk-I> rsouthard: #ubuntu+1
[03:55] <ShawnRisk> russ:  pardon?
[03:55] <danb> anyway*
[03:55] <Loshki> russ: I recommend flashplugin-nonfree as per http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron-p4
[03:55] <rsouthard> MaRk-I: Thanks.
[03:55] <MaRk-I> yw
[03:55] <rsouthard> =)
[03:56] <deexannihilate> loshki: how do I mark it bootable. or is it?
[03:56] <russ> I have Hardy, not sure your version... but under Preferences->Power Management->When laptop lid is closed I have selected "blank screen".
[03:56] <rsouthard> danb: not the right question to ask her. look is subjective. i doubt anyone will want to help your ubuntu install look like a Mirco$haft product.
[03:57] <Sad> hey, I just installed ubuntu 10.04, but I do not get a grub2 startup menu(where one could choose the kernel)... and I am at the end of my wits...any thoughts?
[03:57] <russ> that still saves about half the power but your CPU will stay on
[03:57] <KBentley57> I like the ubuntu 10.04 theme personally
[03:57] <jordo2323> I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and after I put in the CD it asks me to authenticate.  Is this normal?
[03:57] <n00b_> when i update or install any software in my ubuntu 10.04 through software centre or synaptics the first package gets downloaded recursively and ultimaltely nothing gets installed moreover sometines it says check your internet connections and sometimes package not found
[03:57] <KBentley57> Sad, what is your system like?
[03:57] <russ> Loshki thanks I will read that article too
[03:57] <linoge> mmm, kill -15 pid (this case pid will be the pid of firefox) terminates it as if i was quiting with ctrl-q ?
[03:57] <danb> are you guys stuck with tthis linux thing for your jobs too? i know that times are rough economically but you would think they could afford a license to windows. ohh btw rsouthard, its spelled microsoft, in case you didnt know :D.
[03:57] <ShawnRisk> russ: I don't want the computer still on
[03:58] <Loshki> deexannihilate: please rerun 'sudo fdisk -l' again and repaste...
 just two linux kernels... I need to be able to choose between them at boot though
[03:58] <linoge> danb: wtf are you saying, that linux is bad?
[03:58] <KBentley57> SAD: Yes, I meant hardware wise
[03:58]  * YankDownUnder looks at the channel name to make sure it says Ubuntu, again...
[03:58] <cody> I notice the netbook remix doesn't include the "remote desktop" option.  That makes a lot of sense, but is there a package I can install to get that functionality?
[03:58] <Loshki> russ: I really like the 'perfect desktop' series on howtoforge.com
[03:58] <KBentley57> I would move my business entirely to linux if it werent for quikcbooks
 3-4 cores and a couple gig of ram
[03:59] <rww> cody: Do you want to connect to another computer from the netbook, or to the netbook from another computer?
[03:59] <MaRk-I> Sad: at boot when you see the ubuntu logo press "shift"
[03:59] <jordo2323> Everytime I boot off the installation CD it keeps asking me to put in a username and password even though I am selecting Install Ubuntu. Anyone?
[03:59] <cody> to the netbook from another computer
[03:59] <YankDownUnder> KBentley57, Quickbooks can be run under Crossover Office Professional 9.0
[03:59] <russ> ShawnRisk then I don't have a solution, except that you could just shut it down
[03:59] <danb> well it is really cool you kids can make your own os and everything thing but it doesnt supply thee needs of my everyday job.
[03:59] <rww> jordo2323: try username `ubuntu` and a blank password
[03:59] <KBentley57> Yes, but that costs money
[03:59] <Zaraphrax> cody: just install a vnc package or something
 thanks mark, I don't see the menu but I will try that... brb
[03:59] <russ> Loshki that sounds like good reading
[03:59] <rww> cody: the one that comes with Ubuntu Desktop is in the `vino` package
[03:59] <linoge> windows is less than crap
[03:59] <cody> rww, thank you :-)
[04:00] <n00b_> when i update or install any software in my ubuntu 10.04 through software centre or synaptics the first package gets downloaded recursively and ultimaltely nothing gets installed moreover sometines it says check your internet connections and sometimes package not found
[04:00] <ShawnRisk> russ:  I want to be able to wake up my laptop like my apple laptop which is not working.
[04:00] <rww> cody: there are also various others; the help wiki has a page I'll have ubottu link you to
[04:00] <linoge> actually crap makes windows sound like something which was ever usable
[04:00] <KBentley57> Windows is not less than crap, don't be naieve
[04:00] <linoge> lol
[04:00] <linoge> i hate it
[04:00] <rww> ubottu: tell cody about vnc
[04:00] <YankDownUnder> n00b_, Check your network connection - that seems to be part of the issue mate.
[04:00] <jordo2323> rww, Nope....I have installed Ubuntu 1000 times.....never seen this before
[04:00] <deexannihilate> loshki: http://pastebin.com/Ct3as9dj
[04:00] <KBentley57> linoge, every software has its place
[04:00] <n00b_> my network connection is fine
[04:01] <Guest64892> Okay, so: I installed Ubuntu 10.4 on a second partition today because my computer wasn't showing up on the network, but now that I've installed ubuntu and configured Samba, my computer still doesn't show up on the network.
[04:01] <mike1> can I create a home server cloud, like ubuntu one or drop box on my home server?  what front end would it use?
[04:01] <russ> ShawnRisk I am running 8.04, but maybe later versions are better. It always caused instability on my machine so I disabled suspend or hibernation.
[04:01] <linoge> KBentley57: yep. windows for example goes to the shredder
[04:01] <Guest64892> I'm getting really frustrated with this and I'm not sure what to try next.
[04:01] <sunzaru> <3 ubuntu
[04:01] <Sad> MaRk-I, didn't work
[04:01] <cody> rww, yeah, i'm familar with VNC, i just was impressed with how well integrated it was in Ubuntu Desktop and figured it'd be best to do it the easy way.
[04:01] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: my network is fine
[04:01] <cody> thanks again
[04:02] <KBentley57> KBentley57: yep. windows for example goes to the shredder are you older than 12 by chance?
[04:02] <danb> i am not trying to make hard feelings here, i just was trying to figure out how to make it a little more appropriate for an actual job. because i do IT tech support for dell and they know what their talking about. they say linux is just not quite up to to put it nicely.
[04:02] <jordo2323> rww, Its like it won't boot to the LiveCD or something
[04:02] <ShawnRisk> russ: okay
[04:02] <MaRk-I> Sad: pressing shift doesnt show you the grub list?
[04:02] <jordo2323> rww, brings me straight to a login prompt
[04:02] <russ> ShawnRisk but Linus is free as in freedom, so in principle you can just go look at the code and then fix it. Doesn't that make you feel better?
[04:02] <danb> up to par*
[04:02] <YankDownUnder> n00b_, I didn't say your NETWORK was not fine, I'm saying check your connection settings in the Network Manager - you can also try in a terminal to do: sudo apt-get update => then see what the connectivity is like first hand.
[04:02] <para61> danb, what do you think that Dell is hosting their server network infrastructure on?
[04:02] <Royall> a folder keeps reappearing on my desktop that I deleted like months ago
[04:02] <Royall> it has nothing in it
[04:03] <rww> jordo2323: weird. try verifying the CD, maybe?
[04:03] <ShawnRisk> russ: yes but I am going nuts
[04:03] <Royall> it's like a ghost, it keeps coming back after I delete it
[04:03] <YankDownUnder> Royall, What's the folder called?
[04:03] <jordo2323> rww, weird I agree.  Wanted to build off a fresh system.....never seen it do this before
[04:03] <Royall> renamer
[04:03] <KBentley57> Yank, I checked out my version of QB, but its untested
[04:03] <Royall> (I used it to hold a python script for renaming things)
[04:03] <KBentley57> thanks though
[04:03] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: i ran sudo apt-get update also with parameters --fix-broken and --fix-missing everything went fine
[04:04] <linoge> KBentley57: mmm, yep. lol. i'm 16, ye know. A bit too out of reality, in love with philosophy, comunism, opensource... with ideas of a better society... etc.
[04:04] <danb> para6, wait so where are all those dll files and stuff, i cannot find system32 or anything.
[04:04] <sebsebseb> danb: Desktop Linux would be even better, if Dell  sold it properly to the general public, and advertised it.  Instead  dell.com/ubuntu is quite hidden away really, for people in the know.  However yeah Microsoft woudn't like what I am suggesting.  Also it would be good if Dell offered some other distros as well.
[04:04] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: but ya sometimes it do gie issues
[04:04] <YankDownUnder> KBentley57, Well, I just installed MYOB and Quickbooks under COO v9 and it seems to be working just fine and dandy...
[04:04] <purpley1> Is the emote desktop software rdp or vnc?
[04:04] <russ> ShawnRisk join the crowd
[04:05] <ShawnRisk> russ: I am out, talk to you later, thanks for the advice
[04:05] <danb> nah i love linux just trolling sorry lol
[04:05] <Sad> MaRk-I, I am running dkpg-reconfigure on it... pisses me off though
[04:05] <sebsebseb> danb: right well I hope that, peopel who actsauly do work for Dell, don't troll any open source channels :)
[04:05] <purpley1> And what port is it on? I cant seem to connect to it
[04:05] <YankDownUnder> KBentley57, There are also ways of (not in the legal sense of the matter) copying DLL's and the likes from a working XP installation into the proper directories to achieve what is necessary (when things don't work properly) - however, that is supposedly illegal to do. If you own the license for that copy or not (not that I really care)
[04:06] <Sad> MaRk-I, left shift?
[04:06] <thetimzinho> ?
[04:06] <MaRk-I> Sad: yes
[04:07] <n00b_> YankDownUnder:
[04:07] <KBentley57> what version are you running yank? I have QB premeir 2007
[04:08] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: wat to do???
[04:08] <deexannihilate> loshki: i re-ran unetbootin and now it says boot error on the other computer
[04:09] <YankDownUnder> KBentley57, Latest version was installed for customer on Monday. MYOB was 19.5, Quickbooks was 2010
[04:09] <deexannihilate> loshki: which is more than it did before
[04:09] <YankDownUnder> n00b_, I'd do everything from the terminal if the graphical package manager doesn't cut the mustard - or start troubleshooting your actual network connection - not the network - but the connection.
[04:09] <intmed> how can i use internet (gprs) through bluetooth in my ubuntu 10.04
[04:10] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: how???
[04:10] <YankDownUnder> KBentley57, Another alternative for some folks is to use an emulator - like VirtualBox or VMWare
[04:10] <Loshki> deexannihilate: I'm not qualified to advise you any further. In your place, I'd google the error message and see if anything useful shows up...
[04:10] <deexannihilate> loshki: that's what i'm trying lol. thanks for your help
[04:10] <YankDownUnder> n00b_, HOw...um...what? To update and install packages from the term? Or how to troubleshoot the network connection?
[04:11] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: Troubleshoot network connection
[04:12] <YankDownUnder> n00b_, Edit the connection. Change the settings - or at least make SURE the settings are correct for your network. YOu can always add in an external DNS server for giggles and grins to see if that helps you out - cuz if the package manager cannot resolve a server's name, it's not going to be able to update, right?
[04:12] <KBentley57> I am using VirtualBox atm Yank
[04:13] <DarkStar1> How can I restart the vino server?
[04:13] <YankDownUnder> KBentley57, S'all good with that - it's cheap. Cheaper than VMWare....
[04:13] <purpley1> Is the default remote desktop software rdp or vnc?
[04:13] <purpley1> And what port is it on? I cant seem to connect to it
[04:13] <KBentley57> I'm trying to set it up to where I log into a thin client and it launches a rdp session to my VM
[04:13] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[04:13] <MaRk-I> purpley1: vnc:5900
[04:13] <KBentley57> via LTSP
[04:13] <YankDownUnder> DarkStar1, Check in the /etc/init.d/ directory for the application/service name, then probably something like "/etc/init.d/vinoserver restart"
[04:14] <purpley1> MaRk-I:  So VNC?
[04:14] <MaRk-I> yes
[04:14] <purpley1> MaRk-I: Oh sorry didnt see you say vnc
[04:14] <YankDownUnder> KBentley57, Sounds good.
[04:14] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: i am studying in a college and settingss are default to match up also this is the first of its kind that i have encounterd also the prob persists in command line
[04:15] <nclx> What if any are the downsides to running 64bit ubuntu on a Desktop oriented system these days?  Anything in particular not work well?
[04:15] <YankDownUnder> n00b_, 90% of what you just said doesn't make sense.
[04:15] <arn_> has anyone experienced a problem getting win7 home premium to connect to samba shares?
[04:15] <MaRk-I> purpley1: in remote desktop properties is it setup to accept connections and... if you're behind a firewall/router is it port forwarding to that PC?
[04:15] <KBentley57> Yank, do you know anything about LTSP?
[04:15] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: the prob persists even when i use terminal
[04:16] <YankDownUnder> arn_, You have to turn off the "Homegroup" crap in Win7 (any version) to get it to work properly with SMB shares
[04:16] <purpley1> MaRk-I: I find it bizzare, i cant connect...
[04:16] <marcos_> Hi people
[04:16] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: i am using default settings
[04:16] <marcos_> o/
[04:16] <YankDownUnder> n00b_, Mate, try changing some settings - as I said, add an external DNS server to your network connection and see if that makes a differences. Try 139.130.4.5 for instance.
[04:17] <DarkStar1> has anyone here got an iPad and tried remote desktopping from it?
[04:17] <arn_> YankDownUnder: is there a service i have to disable to shut off homegroups?  i don't have one created at the moment
[04:17] <marcos_> Hi people, how I can change my nickname?
[04:18] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: how to do that
[04:18] <YankDownUnder> arn_, I get paid to support Windows, but I support linux for free. Sorry.
[04:18] <Swian> yeah same here
[04:18] <arn_> haha thanks.  i'll ask google
[04:18] <DarkStar1> marcos_: /nick <new nick>
[04:18] <YankDownUnder> n00b_, Right click network manager icon, choose edit connnections -> yadda yadda yadda
[04:19] <newcomer123> is there anyway to have ubuntu run some commands on start up
[04:19] <fridgerator> anyone ever set up an ampache server? i have a question about fix_filename.inc
[04:19] <newcomer123> i need to have some services auto start up when i restart the server
[04:19] <n00b_> YankDownUnder: then
[04:19] <YankDownUnder> newcomer123, /etc/rc.local => edit and put in what you want to run.
[04:19] <DarkStar1> has anyone here got an iPad and tried remote desktop from it to Ubuntu??
[04:20]  * YankDownUnder checks to see if this is the Apple/Mac channel
[04:20] <fridgerator> ipad... BUWAHAHAa
[04:20] <newcomer123> yank: thanks
[04:20] <DarkStar1> fridgerator: Well it's my friends
[04:21] <KBentley57> will it run VNC viewer?
[04:21] <YankDownUnder> n00b_, Edit the network connection, add 139.130.4.5 to your normal DNS server list - restart the connection, try again doing an update.
[04:22] <DarkStar1> yes.. but the desktop isn't updateing. We've just bought 2 vnc apps and downloaded a lite one
[04:22] <jamil_1> hello,  when I set proxy from the System->Preference->NetWork Proxy does it set some environtment variable in terminal ?
[04:22] <MaRk-I> DarkStar1: try disabling compiz, see if that's the issue
[04:23] <DarkStar1> Mark on my desktop?
[04:23] <MarcosBR> DarkStar1, Could you tell me how I register my nickname?
[04:23] <MaRk-I> DarkStar1: on the machine you're trying to connect to
[04:23] <MaRk-I> yes
[04:23] <DarkStar1> MaRk-I: how can I disable it?
[04:24] <lucas-arg> hello, im having problems with plymouth-theme-fade-in, sometimes it gets stock showing ubuntu logo and doesnst start gdm... how can i solve it? i had to enable framebuffer also to display properly....
[04:24] <KBentley57> Right click on the desktop, effects, none
[04:24] <MaRk-I> DarkStar1: System/Preferences/Appearance "no effects"?
[04:25] <econdudeawesome> Howdy! Where would I set a mount point if I am specifying a new partition? "/"?
[04:25] <arn_> YankDownUnder: any other advice?  that hasn't seemed to help...
[04:25] <DarkStar1> MaRk-I: Ok will try now
[04:26] <econdudeawesome> Howdy! Where would I set a mount point if I am specifying a new partition? "/"?
[04:26] <lucas-arg> !plymouth
[04:27] <prince_jammys> econdudeawesome: anywhere you want. often at /media/your_mountpoint, or /mnt/your_mountpoint
[04:27] <DarkStar1> hey
[04:27] <econdudeawesome> prince_jammys even if this is the main partition where the OS will be installed?
[04:27] <DarkStar1> MaRk-I: your right it is conpiz
[04:27] <prince_jammys> econdudeawesome: no, then "/"
[04:28] <econdudeawesome> price_jammys -- thanks much
[04:28] <DarkStar1> MaRk-I: ipad is now remoting into ubuntu lol yey te hell with apple !!!
[04:28] <DarkStar1> hozza
[04:29] <YankDownUnder> arn_, From the linux perspective, if you've set up the shares to be browsed normally by any other machine (any other MS OS other than Win7), and they can be seen from any other non-MS OS, then you've done right. If you've created a username and password for the user and it still doesn't connect, then you've just hit the wall that I hit last year with the whole Windows7 crap.
[04:29] <arn_> YankDownUnder: i'll try my XP laptop and i guess we'll see
[04:29] <arn_> YankDownUnder: thakns
[04:31] <KBentley57> hey yank
[04:32] <KBentley57> Do you think its possible to use RDesktop to "remote" to quickbooks on a headless VM?
[04:32] <KBentley57> for remote apps
[04:33] <kandjar> hi there; what the best way to update a software (let say 'git') in an older ubuntu version (let say: hardy lts) when apt-get update says that you have the latest version
[04:34] <mrpink57> kandjar: you could try to compile it from source
[04:34] <KBentley57> what is the software you are trying to update kandjar
[04:34] <kandjar> KBentley57: git :)
[04:34] <trism> kandjar: git ppa https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa
[04:34] <KBentley57> lol
[04:34] <KBentley57> sorry
[04:34] <KBentley57> compile from source
[04:34] <KBentley57> thought it was an example
[04:35] <kandjar> KBentley57: it was an example, but also what I want to upgrade :) lol :)
[04:36] <kandjar> oh, is that what I need to do: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/git-core/ppa/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main  ?
[04:36] <trism> kandjar: yes, replacing YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE with hardy
[04:36] <DarkStar1> what's the cli command for finding users logged on the system\
[04:36] <DarkStar1> ?
[04:37] <kandjar> trism: I think my version is hardy; is there a way to verify it easily?
[04:37] <deexannihilate> loshki: I made it work. :)
[04:37] <trism> DarkStar1: who

[04:37] <sekula_> Hi folks. I have a question about a problem with the display of mathematical symbols in PDF files, either when using evince or okular. Has anybody else noticed that if you open a document laden with math (e.g. http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~dugan/USPAS/Lect20.pdf, page 5) symbols like Greek "mu" are wrongly displayed (as a "not equal to" sign)?
[04:37] <IamFED> ~_~
[04:37] <sekula_> This problem appeared in 10.04, but was not present before that.
[04:37] <sekula_> I can't find a bug report about this issue.
[04:37] <kandjar> deb not found.
[04:38] <kandjar> ?
[04:38] <kandjar> doh, system source :)
[04:38] <kandjar> ok :) I need to find where tha tis then :)
[04:38] <DarkStar1> is it strange that we can tunnel rd through SSH log in as another user on the system on ssh but access my desktop? yet who has no record of that user as being currently logged on?
[04:38] <deexannihilate> loshki: it seems the problem (which i drew the conclusion myself) was that I had an old version of unetbootin. I updated it and it works.. so I'm assuming that was actually the problem.
[04:39] <Loshki> deexannihilate: yup, that'
[04:39] <Loshki> deexannihilate: yup, that's pretty conclusive. Good to know for future reference too...
[04:39] <deexannihilate> loshki: have a great night and thanks again!!
[04:40] <kandjar> ok :) how do I add these line to the system source stuff?

[04:42] <magic_ninja420> whats a good sql database manager

[04:49] <enix311> hello, i set up apache2 some time ago and everything worked fine, moved files into /var/www/files no problem. Recently when I wanted to copy some files into the folder so i 'sudo cp -r /home/user/Desktop/folder /var/www/files/folder' the folder is copied but all files have an 'X' and are access denied. I have made no changes to apache since last time files were copied with no errors. any ideas? TIA
[04:50] <twobitsprite> I' running the netbook remix... I have mounted a cif share on a windows system... how do I add it to the main menu?
[04:51] <sekula_> enix311: I assume you have configured apache to allow files under a directory to be viewed?
[04:51] <twobitsprite> I've tried the menu editor, but my changes dont show up
[04:51] <aptcache> where do i report a bug in apt-cache; i belive the software is maintained by ubuntu?
[04:51] <fearful> Does anyone have any idea why my CD with ubuntu 10.04 amd64 version gets stuck when loading on a computer on file child_rip
[04:52] <enix311> sekula_ apache config is default except for port. so my answer would be yes.
[04:52] <aptcache> fearful: it could be the CD, check the integrity of the CD or try installing from a USB flash drive maybe
[04:53] <fearful> aptcache, how do I check the integrity? no options appear before this happens.
[04:53] <aptcache> fearful: if you are installing from the live disk, it should be an option at CD startup screen
[04:53] <enix311> sekula_would this be in apache.conf? i have looked thorugh /etc/apache2 files quite a bit
[04:53] <sekula_> Aha. Just in case anybody saw my post about math symbol fonts being messed up in Ubuntu 10.04 (e.g. the greek "mu" symbol in a PDF), the problem appears to be in the package ttf-symbol-replacement. I removed the package and the problem is now gone. Apparently, this replacement for the symbol.ttf font is not perfect.  And, I found the bug report to go with the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/605670
[04:54] <fearful> aptcache, that is the thing I do not have a startup screen just goes straight into here, I see a little computer and a little guy at the bottom of the screen and this happens
[04:54] <aptcache> fearful: let me find a webpage that shows you how to do this, one min
[04:55] <fearful> aptcache, alright thanks bro.
[04:55] <sekula_> enix311: It could be. In my own case, I have a default site defined (under sites-available/default) and in there I can direct apache to allow a person to browse the contents of a directory from their web browser.
[04:55] <ssmy> where can I find the OEM install option for 10.04?
[04:56] <enix311> sekula_ ok, thanks
[04:56] <YankDownUnder> ssmy, First screen on boot up, hit ENTER then, um I think F4 or F5

[05:10] <max_atreides> is there an experimental ubuntu repository? I'm trying to install python 2.7
[05:11] <server_> hello, how can I know the mac address, ip and computer name of my pc? I want to setup a network and I need to know the name of the computer on the network
[05:11] <aptcachebug> server_: sudo ifconfig <interface> or leave interface out for all
[05:12] <aptcachebug> server_: common interfaces are eth0 (usually ethernet), eth1 (ethernet or wireless), wlan0 and ath0 (wireless)
[05:13] <server_> aptcachebug, ok, the problem is that I have 2 network cards on my pc. Im planning to setup an internet cafe where the main computer (server) has linux and the rest windows. One of the network cards is used to connect the computer to the lan and the other card is for the printer
[05:13] <aptcachebug> server_: for the name of your computer, you can use lshw in terminal
[05:13] <moymoy> if i have more than one interface and two different gateways associated with those interfaces, is it possible for me to launch applications while specifying which interface to use? Some sort of environmental variable?
[05:14] <aptcachebug> server_: im sorry, i don't see your problem, can you explain further?
[05:15] <mdel> any ideas as to why my apache2 server would be running out of memory on a single request?

[05:16] <server_> aptcachebug, then I need to make one of the network cards the "main" card to connect to the internet. Should I use firestarter?
[05:16] <mdel> wage: uhhh
[05:16] <mdel> wage: you might need to reinstall
[05:16] <mdel> wage: i'd backup your data now
[05:16] <ajitabhpandey> wage: you may need to reinstall
[05:17] <mdel> before you rm -rf it ;)
[05:17] <aptcachebug> server_: there is a website on how to share the internet using ubuntu, let me find it
[05:17] <wage> the /home is on its own partition, that should be fine righT?
[05:17] <mdel> yea just reinstall then
[05:17] <server_> aptcachebug, thank you, I really appreciate your help
[05:17] <mdel> wage: and be sure to specify the mount point for /home
[05:17] <mdel> when you reinstall
[05:17] <aptcachebug> server_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing ;glad to help
[05:17] <abhijit> hello
[05:18] <aptcachebug> !hello | abhijit
[05:18] <mkurczyn> hola
[05:18] <aptcachebug> !es | mkurczyn
[05:18] <ajitabhpandey> wage: and while you specify the correct mount point for /home, make sure you do not select the "format" option
[05:18] <wage> ok
[05:19] <mkurczyn> helo , I am Martin
[05:19] <aptcachebug> server_: i used that page to share the internet from ethernet to wireless using those three lines (iptables) under the configure nat section
[05:19] <aptcachebug> !hello | mkurczyn
[05:19] <Firstgear_> is it possible to take a "snapshot" of how the windows are arranged in Ubuntu so that they can be saved and re-opened in the same order when wanted?
[05:20] <Firstgear_> the same order and position, size etc..
[05:20] <mdel> Fatal error: out of dynamic memory in yy_create_buffer() in Unknown on line 0
[05:20] <mdel> apache is running up the memory until it crashes the server
[05:20] <aptcachebug> Firstgear_: please fill out that suggestion at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com (refer to gdm as the package to do that)
[05:21] <Blue1> aptcachebug: link to article here on how to do internet connection sharing
[05:21] <Blue1> http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=218
[05:21] <moymoy> if i have more than one interface and two different gateways associated with those interfaces, is it possible for me to launch applications while specifying which interface to use? Some sort of environmental variable?
[05:21] <aptcachebug> Blue1: i did earlier, see above, here it is again: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[05:21] <fearful> aptcachebug, are you aptcache
[05:21] <MaRk-I> !ics
[05:22] <Blue1> moymoy: not that I am aware of...
[05:22] <aptcachebug> fearful: i am, go ahead
[05:23] <fearful> aptcachebug, I thought it may have been a disc issue I had burn previously with Brasero, I made a fresh cd using windows and toshiba disc creator and same issue with child_rip.
[05:23] <abhijit> aptcachebug, :)
[05:23] <moymoy> MaRk-I: I mean like, have rtorrent on wlan0, chrome on eth0 and firefox on eth1, ssh on eth2 .... that sort of thing
[05:23] <aptcachebug> fearful: ok, its not the CD then, i don't know of any issue, my 10.04 ran fine on x64, are you using live or alternative disk?
[05:24] <MaRk-I> moymoy: no idea
[05:24] <fearful> Live
[05:24] <yannf> hello
[05:24] <fearful> aptcachebug, live sorry
[05:24] <moymoy> Blue1: MaRk-I: thanks anyway for reading
[05:25] <yannf> I have a pb with openoffice-base: "S1000 General error java.util no such element exception"
[05:25] <aptcachebug> fearful: i can look it up a little on the internet, i would consider getting sudo lshw into a file and attach a new bug on the ubuntu forums if i don't find anything
[05:25] <yannf> while saving a record in a form
[05:25] <abhijit> yannf, #openoffice.org
[05:25] <shafiq> can anyone tell me why my Samsung printer isn't showing up as an option to print from anymore?
[05:26] <fearful> aptcachebug, thanks, I am also searching see I'm trying to install it on my bros computer on seperate partition wants to try it out
[05:26] <yannf> abhijit, no answer there after 2 days
[05:26] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, Has it changed from being your default printer?
[05:26] <abhijit> yannf, ok .
[05:26] <aptcachebug> fearful: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/472183 ;its a bug with your motherboard, there is a fix on that page
[05:27] <shafiq> YankDownUnder: it doesn't even seem to be an option.  and the oddest part is, i can't even add a new printer to my system (under system>admin>printers)
[05:27] <shafiq> YankDownUnder: it's like something "broke"
[05:27] <yannf> abatoo, looking on the net, it appears than using another Java engine might help
[05:27] <yannf> any idea?
[05:28] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, Ok - starting from the top, what has changed, been changed, updated, added or modified since it last worked?
[05:28] <fearful> aptcachebug, thanks bro
[05:29] <shafiq> hmm, not sure, but i can say that i did a system update yesterday i think and it froze, so i had to do a "dpkg configure -a" or something liek that to fix the broken install.  it was a font package i think.  but other than that, i can't really imagine what else it could be
[05:29] <shafiq> should i try and reinstall cups maybe?
[05:30] <CAPcap> hey I have Dreamlinux running in virtualbox, theres a program in dreamlinux to make a persistent usb of it. i want to use it to make one, but it cant find my flash drive through virtualbox. help?
[05:30] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, What would be best to do first and foremost, is delete the printer (if you can), then manually run a package update, then upgrade (make sure nothing further gets broken) then turn off the printer, turn it back on - see if it's "re found"....
[05:30] <shafiq> YankDownUnder: just did a reinstall of cups and it worked
[05:30] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, Roger that - that's easier.
[05:31] <shafiq> YankDownUnder: and also, the printer wasn't showing at all.  strange that it worked now though.  thanks for all the suggestions :)
[05:31] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, Just a thought - if this happens again, what about just restarting the cups service?
[05:31] <fearful> aptcachebug, thanks bro I was successful just a question what does it mean by booting acpi=off, I will have to always boot this way correct?
[05:32] <shafiq> YankDownUnder: well, i rebooted to see if that fixed it before and it did not.
[05:32] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, Strange that mate.
[05:32] <shafiq> YankDownUnder: weird how things just seem to break in ubuntu sometimes. lol
[05:32] <MaRk-I> CAPcap: if you used virtualbox OSE edition you cant use usb ports
[05:33] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, Well, truthfully, it's when the updates hit - or when something gets installed. I've got a few servers sitting around that I just don't touch - and they're happy as Larry - as long as nothing is done to them.
[05:33] <CAPcap> crap i am... how do i get around that? is there another program?
[05:33] <shafiq> YankDownUnder: really... so you don't update them at all?
[05:34] <JulieJulie> Helloo all.
[05:34] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, They're servers - they're happy doing what they're doing - the only thing that needs updating is clamav and fprot...nothing more...they're just servers.
[05:34] <aptcachebug> !hi | juliejulie
[05:34] <revilodraw> i have lildvdread4 and vlc media player and cant play a dvd?
[05:35] <CAPcap> crap i am... how do i get around that? is there another program? MaRk-I
[05:35] <shafiq> YankDownUnder: what about updates for potential security vulnerabilities?
[05:35] <aptcachebug> !dvd | revilodraw
[05:36] <MaRk-I> CAPcap: burn the .iso with unetbooting start the pc and then do it with your real PC
[05:36] <Snakkah> Hi. I was wondering, is it possible to install Ubuntu on a USB flash drive (32 GB)? And if so, which distro would be my best option?
[05:36] <Snakkah> Or would it be better to just use something like Xubuntu?
[05:36] <JulieJulie> I am wondering what is the best way to go about, dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu?
[05:36] <Buntfu> anyone in here ever sell any linux hardware or systems?
[05:36] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, For all that we're security conscious, when was the last time a nicely locked down linux server was beaten up? "Plan the work, work the plan" - lock it down from the beginning - a server is a server, and when setup exactly as that, well, it's generally quite happy and solid and secure. I'll patch'em after 6 months, otherwise, nothing.
[05:37] <JulieJulie> Some guides say, just do side by side, some say, do a small partition for windows system file, and another small parition for ubuntu system file, then a larger partition for the two OS to use as storage?
[05:37] <abhijit> Buntfu, whats your real questin?
[05:37] <CAPcap> Snakkah, the lighter the desktop environment or window manager the better for that purpose so xubuntu would run better than ubuntu, and lubuntu better than xubuntu.
[05:37] <xeer> Is there a file manager with a media player integrated? I believe a media plugin for nautilus would have already been considered but I can't find anything
[05:37] <aptcachebug> Snakkah: it is possible, but the larger the flash drive, the slower they are, so you may want to consider placing it on a smaller flash drive, like 8 gb max
[05:37] <Buntfu> abhijit, looking for someone to talk to about the market
[05:37] <revilodraw> aptcachebug: as i said, i already have libdvdread4
[05:37] <shafiq> YankDownUnder: interesting.  thank you for sharing.  never really worked with linux as mainly servers.
[05:38] <Snakkah> Oh really? I would think they would be faster on a larger drive?
[05:38] <abhijit> !ot | Buntfu
[05:38] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, They're cheaper and less stress to run for business purposes...do pretty much the same thing...
[05:38] <fearful> aptcachebug, did you get my last message?
[05:38] <aptcachebug> Snakkah: lto put ubuntu 10.04 on
[05:38] <YankDownUnder> shafiq, ...they just don't need to be rebooted or "watched for security issues" as much as anything MS
[05:38] <Buntfu> abhijit, thx
[05:39] <abhijit> Buntfu, welcome :)
[05:39] <thune3> Snakkah: the biggest isue with USB flash drive is the poor random write performance. I used a bunch of workaround to get ubuntu installed on an 8GB USB flashdrive to be usable.
[05:40] <Snakkah> Hm I see. I wouldn't mind having to use Lubuntu or Xubuntu. This is mainly for work purposes anyway.
[05:40] <CAPcap> Snakkah, have you used lubuntu?
[05:40] <Buntfu> Snakkah, how light do you need it?
[05:41] <Snakkah> Light enough to have ample space for documents and a few other files I'll be carrying around with me on the OS.
[05:41] <CAPcap> Snakkah, I only ask because lxde can be a little quirky. its fast but is not without problems
[05:41] <Snakkah> And I haven't used Lubuntu. Not yet anyway lol
[05:42] <thune3> Snakkah: my full ubuntu install on USB is < 3GB for system. The rest are my files. I don't think space will be an issue for any of the versions on a 32GB flash drive.
[05:43] <Snakkah> Oh okay, good.
[05:44] <Snakkah> thune3, if I have it on a USB drive would I be able to boot from any public computer, or no?
[05:45] <notorious> How do I mount a network share?
[05:46] <viiacesxh> ?
[05:46] <thune3> Snakkah: i'm not sure, i think so. As long as you leave network and drive stuff to the automatic mechinisms, and don't customize it too much.
[05:46] <Snakkah> Hm okay
[05:48] <Snakkah> thune3, how is your system less than 3 GB? I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop here and it says the system is taking up 6 GB of the 500 GB HDD.
[05:51] <thune3> Snakkah: Snakkah: well i have /var/log /var/run /tmp mounted using aufs as tmpfs so they never accumulate, and i have synaptic set to delete .debs after installing (or run apt-get clean periodically). I do imagine that I would probably install another GB of apps if I wasn't space constrained.
[05:51] <Guest12392> hhelo?\
[05:51] <thune3> Snakkah: even 6GB would give you 26GB for personal files on a 32GB stick
[05:51] <Guest12392> hello?
[05:51] <root> hi
[05:51] <Snakkah> Hm, true.
[05:52] <Guest12392> whats up!
[05:52] <abhijit> !hi | Guest12392

[05:52] <notorious> How do I mount a network share?
[05:53] <violinappren> !help | LOS
[05:53] <Guest68040> doing airmon-ng isnt giving me the wireless adapters name...is it because i also have an ethernet plugged in?
[05:53] <violinappren> notorious: places > connect to

[05:54] <violinappren> Guest68040: are you running it as root?
[05:54] <dudewhat> its air0mon-ng
[05:54] <dudewhat> airomon isnt it

[05:56] <Purpley> hi guys,What is the 3 digit number with chmod to make a .bin file executeable? For example sudo chmod xxx file.bin
[05:56] <violinappren> Purpley: chmod u+x
[05:57] <Purpley> violinappren: Thanks I always have trouble with chmod :)

[05:58] <dudewhat> anyone know how to edit source code?
[05:58] <violinappren> !help | dudewhat
[05:59] <dudewhat> im trying to edit source code for xchat, its written in C but there is no main.c file in there
[05:59] <dudewhat> how do i edit it?
[06:00] <dudewhat> there are only source and header files
[06:00] <abhijit> dudewhat, ask in #xchat
[06:00] <Edzo> yeah first u have to hack into the mainframe and hardwire a line into the c and then it explodes but its supposed to do that
[06:00] <Purpley> dudewhat: Open it in your favorite edtior
[06:00] <MoobyFR> you probably need to learn more how to program...
[06:00] <Purpley> Edzo: Lol
[06:00] <dudewhat> what the hell, all C programs have to have a main
[06:00] <Edzo> dont lie to us
[06:01] <violinappren> dudewhat: check xchat website to find their development mailing lists
[06:01] <dudewhat> ok.. well kerninghan will
[06:01] <violinappren> !ot | dudewhat
[06:01] <seidos> dudewhat, I tried to edit source for gnome-power-manager, found the same problem as I recall
[06:01] <dudewhat> thanks im not crazy...
[06:02] <Edzo> dude......what?
[06:02] <dudewhat> seidos said he had the same problem
[06:02] <Edzo> u mean the guy that just said that seconds ago?
[06:02] <Purpley> Quick question, if i access a file for example if I open a text file on a ssh machine am I downloading it and opening it or is it opened remotely and displayed remotely?
[06:02] <dudewhat> i thought i was going crazy
[06:02] <Purpley> Kinda stupid but just wondered
[06:03] <violinappren> Purpley: downloaded to a temporary file and sent back when saved
[06:03] <seidos> dudewhat, maybe your original question was valid.  I'm not sure how many users in here actually bother to try to read the source code.  Not meaning to disparage the room, I just have no clue to what the value of that statistic is.
[06:03] <umarsheikh> can anyone help me out with this error, which has stopped me getting updates to my ubuntu 8.04:
[06:03] <dudewhat> well you cant edit code with just editing the functions
[06:03] <dudewhat> you need the main file
[06:03] <Purpley> violinappren: Ahh what about if opened with vi?
[06:03] <sunzaru> how do i install a font as a system font instead of just for ME?
[06:03] <dudewhat> thats where the functions are used
[06:03] <umarsheikh> A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
[06:03] <umarsheikh> Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
[06:03] <umarsheikh> 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'
[06:04] <violinappren> Purpley: are you opening is inside an ssh session in a terminal or using Places > Connect To?
[06:04] <MoobyFR> dudewhat: just relly look at the source code ...
[06:04] <Purpley> violinappren: inside a ssh session
[06:04] <violinappren> umarsheikh: report it on launchpad
[06:04] <dudewhat> what does that mean
[06:04] <dudewhat> i looked at all the files
[06:05] <Edzo>  im 12 and what is this
[06:05] <Purpley> And what the heck, how do i exit out of VI lol I feel extremely stupid
[06:05] <umarsheikh> violinappren, where is launchpad
[06:05] <violinappren> Purpley: then no, it's not downloaded, the ssh binary transmits everything you see on a terminal back and forth, as if it's local terminal
[06:05] <Purpley> violinappren: Ahh thats what I thought
[06:06] <Edzo> YOU GET NOTHING, YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY SIR!
[06:06] <yannf> Purpley, :q
[06:06] <violinappren> dudewhat: this is not a programming support channel, please seek help from xchat developments or a C-related room
[06:06] <dudewhat> whats a c related room
[06:06] <MoobyFR> dudewhat: you really looked bad
[06:06] <Edzo> lol
[06:06] <dudewhat> ?
[06:06] <yannf> Purpley, or :wq for saving
[06:06] <dudewhat> how im asking whats the name of a c ralted room
[06:07] <dudewhat> so i can go
[06:07] <dudewhat> if you happen to know one
[06:07] <MoobyFR> xchat-2.8.8/src/common/make-te.c line 5
[06:07] <violinappren> Purpley: use nano, it's much more friendlier than VI
[06:07] <seidos> dudewhat, #c
[06:07] <Purpley> yannf: Ahhh I get it now im used to nano's way :)
[06:08] <yannf> Purpley, well, I am using vim regex all the time, and I can't live without it now ;)
[06:08] <yannf> I even edit Wikipedia that way
[06:08] <seidos> yannf, what is vim regex?
[06:09] <seidos> the only complaint I have with vim is I haven't figured out how to copy/paste an entire file
[06:09] <yannf> regular expressions
[06:09] <notorious> I'm trying to make it so that I can mount drives from a networked computer.  How can I do this so I can access it from command line?
[06:09] <yoshie> Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 Bit, Not able to Mount DVD for world of warcraft. Ubuntu 9.10 Worked, Any suggestions.
[06:09] <seidos> without highlighting with the mouse
[06:09] <Purpley> yannf: Well ill eventually get used to it all hopefully haha
[06:09] <Edzo> pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
[06:09] <violinappren> notorious: what is the remote machine running? if it's running ssh, you can use sshfs
[06:10] <notorious> windows, violin
[06:10] <seidos> yannf, I don't get what regular expressions have to do with vim.
[06:10] <yannf> seidos, it depends where you want to copy/paste? inside an existing file? as a new file?
[06:10] <seidos> yannf, from vim to paste.ubuntu.com
[06:11] <Edzo> no copypasta
[06:11] <violinappren> notorious: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-remote-windows-partition-windows-share-under-linux.html
[06:12] <yannf> seidos, you can do pretty amazing search and replace within vim
[06:12] <seidos> yannf, I just know about / to search
[06:13] <notorious> problem with that, violin, is that I can't get a servername to work
[06:13] <yannf> seidos, :%s/search/replace/gc
[06:13] <seidos> yannf, I'll try it
[06:13] <violinappren> notorious: pastebin it
[06:13] <yannf> % is for the entire file, g for global, c for confirm
[06:14] <seidos> I'll put it in a notes file.
[06:14] <seidos> yannf, what about copy pasting an entire file into pastebin?
[06:14] <notorious> I can get into the Windows Network, but when I click on the domain, I get "Unable to mount location.  Failed to retreive share list from server"

[06:17] <micah> my rythm box sometime randomly wont work and i have to log out and re log in

[06:17] <micah> how can I fix this?
[06:18] <yoshie>  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 Bit, Not able to Mount DVD for world of warcraft. Ubuntu 9.10 it worked fine, anyone know what the problem is? I need to mount the DVD and show all its hidden files.
[06:18] <mneptok> micah: run rythmbox from the terminal when ti won't launch correctly and gather more information
[06:18] <micah> ahh good idea
[06:18] <micah> thank you
[06:18] <violinappren> notorious: sorry, wrong person..  copy and paste the whole mount command here
[06:19] <notorious> violin, it goes beyond that
[06:19] <micah> do you know what to type in the terminal to start rhythm box?
[06:19] <violinappren> micah: just type it's name

[06:20] <MrGoodkat> hey im karmic and whenever i edit a pdf with xournal and print it or export it, it becomes really unsharp
[06:20] <linux_> ksjd
[06:20] <MrGoodkat> only the added text is sharp, the background pdf is really out of focus
[06:20] <violinappren> notorious: i thought you said you want to mount it on command line
[06:20] <notorious> I would like to do that too
[06:21] <notorious> but the servername doesn't work to begin with
[06:21] <notorious> the only way I can get to it is via the IP address
[06:21] <violinappren> notorious: it's easier to troubleshoot from command line, so paste the command are trying to use to mount it and the error it returns in a pastebin
[06:22] <notorious> mount -a is the command i'm trying to use
[06:22] <Toa> Why would a 2GB flash drive, which appears all but 128GB full, have only 743MB of files on it, according to nautilus?  I've checked the file system in both Gparted and fdisk (where it reports correctly), as well as run a file system check on it (also lists no problem).  More importantly, how would I fix it, short of reformatting the drive?
[06:22] <violinappren> notorious: "mount -a" is not intended to mount a windows share

[06:26] <CAPcap> I have a lubuntu 10.04 iso and id like to make a persistent lubuntu usb. can anyone help me with this?
[06:26] <Toa> violinappren, thanks.  Is there a way to verify if there is actually a total of 743MB on the drive or a total of 1.9GB before I do that?
[06:26] <sprung> Hi, I want to fix the notorious problem where when using Archive Mounter to mount an iso file, all files have a ";1" following the last character of the filename, rendering the volume unusable. Very annoying. I see there are lots of THREADS on ubuntu support forums, but not all that many possible solutions, and a lot of frustration from the posters. Any help getting the correct resolution for this problem?
[06:27] <deexannihilate> Anyone know how I can install flex to a USB? The computer I'm trying to get it on needs Wine to run internet and it's the only way to get it there. "Sudo apt-get install flex" will not work for me.
[06:27] <Toa> yoshie, does anything happen when you insert the disc?
[06:28] <violinappren> Toa: i don't know, sorry
[06:29] <yoshie> Toa, absolutely, mounts fine, but in order to install world of warcraft you need to first unmount it, Than mount it again for the sake of the hidden files on the DVD, but when i mount the DVD again it ses mount device not found
[06:30] <sprung> yoshie, it may be more appropriate for you to ask in #winehq
[06:30] <Omen_20> Is there a command to refresh the panel? I installed gnomenu but it isnt showing to add.
[06:30] <yoshie> hmm
[06:30] <violinappren> deexannihilate: what is 'flex'? i know two programs named flex and they ave nothing to do with internet access
[06:30] <sprung> deexannihilate, you may want to ask in #winehq as well
[06:30] <yoshie> Sprung,well i know its a Ubuntu problem, because it works fine in 9.10
 have you tried playonlinux to install wow ?
[06:31] <bullgard> Is the proper way to retart the NetworkManager '~$ service networki-manager restart' or '~$ sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart'?

[06:32] <yoshie> Jamil_1 no I havent, I usually use Wine or Codeweavers.
[06:32] <CAPcap> I have a lubuntu 10.04 iso and id like to make a persistent lubuntu usb. can anyone help me with this?
 playonlinux uses wine at the backend but makes installation rather easy
[06:32] <abhijit> !unetbootin | CAPcap
[06:33] <bullgard> CAPcap: You want to make a usb? Oh, oh!
[06:33] <CAPcap> bullgard yes a persistent one

[06:34] <bullgard> CAPcap: Good luck, Mr. engineer.
[06:34] <yoshie> Jamil_1 yes that mite work, but do you know what may be causing the error and how to fix it?
[06:34] <CAPcap> Toa, Lucid
[06:34] <yoshie> the closest thing i could come up with is Permissions have changed since 9.10

[06:35] <Purpley> Hi guys, if my ssh connection is rather laggy, .5 to 2 seconds of lag is there a way to counteract it?
[06:35] <Toa> CAPcap, Good luck.  There's another one at pendrivelinux.com if you need it.
[06:36] <violinappren> Purpley: use ssh -C (for compressing data back and forth)
 sorry but can you reiterate the problem
[06:36] <CAPcap> Toa, for what i can find there, they are all based on windows and require programs that only run on windows
[06:36] <abhijit> !tab | jamil_1
[06:36] <Purpley> violinappren: Im using putty but im sure theres a noption for that, thanks
[06:37] <jamil_1> abhijit, thnx

[06:40] <intmed> eastereggs in ubuntu ?
[06:40] <Toa> CAPcap, I thought there were more Linux tutorials there than there are, but there are a few at the bottom of the page. Like http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-from-cd/
[06:41] <CAPcap> thanks
[06:41] <Loshki> yoshie: is there, like, an error message?
[06:41] <gwern> so, I wanted to go cut down the time-delay in grub from 8 seconds to 1 or 2 seconds, but when I went to /boot/grub, I couldn't find the usual grub.conf (although a heck of a lot o other files). I take it that things have changed

[06:43] <bullgard> gwern: You better do not do it in the near future.
[06:43] <abhijit> gwern, you can eaily edit new grub2 file. just read that page its easy
[06:44] <Loshki> gwern: um, try editing GRUB_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub

[06:46] <Loshki> bullgard: I would say the former. I'm not sure anything in /etc/dbus* is meant to be run manually...
[06:46] <abhijit> gwern, :)
[06:46] <gwern> what if /etc and /boot are on different partitions?!
[06:46] <abhijit> gwern, more mess!!! :P
[06:47] <Loshki> gwern: it's worse than that. Grub2 is now configured in multiple different files in different places...
[06:47] <roved2101> lol
[06:47] <sprung> violinappren, 6 minutes isn't patient?
[06:47] <abhijit> sprung, no
[06:47] <cyphase> sprung: what iso is this? it works fine for me
[06:47] <violinappren> sprung: you repeated the question three times already
[06:47] <sprung> cyphase, Every ISO.

[06:49] <cyphase> sprung: which version of ubuntu?
[06:49] <bullgard> Loshki: Hm. --  Thank you for commenting.
[06:49] <abhijit> duckslammer, use cairo dock
[06:49] <DavidJHeinrich1> can anyone help me with my SVG icon problem??
[06:49] <yoshie> jamil_1 yes I have mounted it the regular way and it worked, BUt only problem is, it wouldnt show all the hidden files i need, thats where the problem really is. So it confusses me lol
[06:49] <sprung> cyphase, Lucid.
[06:50] <cyphase> sprung: hmm.. i dont know what to tell you. it works fine for me, though i do remember that it used to do that.
[06:51] <jamil_1> yoshie, you are using this command: sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/ ?
[06:51] <duckslammer> abhijit - i loaded docky yesterday and like it - what is cairo dock and why would i change?
[06:51] <abhijit> duckslammer,if you like it then dont change it

[06:53] <Zelozelos> i use the remote desktop viewer to monitor my kiddies computer which i also use to play music over my central pa, sometimes they log off and i was wondering is there a way for me to login using the remote desktop viewer or some other way?
[06:53] <Loshki> yoshie: given that you know the identical command worked in 9.10 (you did say that, right?) then I'd say you've hit a bug. Have you looked in launchpad?
[06:54] <yoshie> jamil_1 yes it worked in 9.10 thats correct and using the same commands, As far as launch pad im not sure what that is sorry.
[06:54] <jamil_1> yoshie, what is the out put if you remove -t udf ?
[06:54] <choonming> hi there. i got a question regarding about HAL... what are the downsides of using HAL?
[06:55] <yoshie> Jamil_1 can you give me about 15 min ?
[06:55] <jamil_1> yoshie, sure
[06:55] <Loshki> choonming: isn't HAL deprecated and due for removal? That would seem like a big downside...
[06:56] <yoshie> jamil_1 ok gonna do a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 ... had to go back to windows sadly, give me a few minutes k
[06:56] <sebsebseb> choonming: Loshki  HAL is removed in 10.04, and nearly removed in 9.10
[06:56] <choonming> Loshki, i know it is deprecated but i want to under further why is that so
[06:56] <sebsebseb> choonming: I think since they thought they could speed up boot up without HAL,  other distros still have HAL by the way
[06:57] <choonming> sebsebseb, i noticed HAL has been replaced by udev
[06:57] <vikasap> Hello all, The most used application in my computer is firefox. I am thinking of ways to speed up its performance. Will compiling firefox speed it up for me ?
[06:57] <violinappren> Zelozelos: google "gdm remote login"
[06:57] <Zelozelos> violinappren, kk ty i will
[06:57] <choonming> sebsebseb, to my understanding, HAL is similar to udev in terms of functionality but udev is much more lower level
[06:57] <sebsebseb> choonming: udev ?

[06:58] <sebsebseb> choonming: Whats udev?
[06:58] <Loshki> choonming: there's a tiny bit here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy

[07:09] <sebsebseb> YunIntegral: differnet types of graphics programs
[07:09] <YunIntegral> ah~
[07:09] <airtonix> YunIntegral, gimp and inkscape are the best of their kinds on linux.

[07:09] <YunIntegral> what about pinta?
[07:10] <airtonix> YunIntegral, it's an experiment in copying photoshop

[07:10] <sebsebseb> YunIntegral: I know this is for kids really, but  Tuxpaint is one of the best drawing programs for Desktop Linux :)  has nice ready to use images as well
[07:10] <TiK> hi
[07:10] <airtonix> YunIntegral, or paint.net (which copies photoshop)
[07:10] <YunIntegral> ah really? pinta.net is copy of photoshop?
[07:10] <sebsebseb> YunIntegral: no
[07:10] <airtonix> YunIntegral, no its a copy of paint.net >> which is.
[07:10] <sebsebseb> YunIntegral: its an alternative to Paint.net which is quite popular in Windows
[07:10] <TiK> anyone know how t make a 32bit SB startup disk hve a persistance
[07:10] <YunIntegral> yes yes alternative
[07:11] <violinappren> atx_: did you try ffmpeg and mencode ?
[07:11] <TiK> er USB
[07:11] <sebsebseb> YunIntegral: I woudn't compare either of those programs to Photoshop like airtonix is doing
[07:11] <airtonix> sebsebseb, i would.
[07:11] <Eventyret> Anyone got a good hand with Xconf, having some display id problems with the nvidia drivers. ? Ubuntu x64 10.4
[07:11] <YunIntegral> hm..

[07:11] <TrentonAdams> how do I get thunderbird 3.1 through the package manager?
[07:11] <atx_> ffmpeg seems not to encode quicktime, at least I have not seem it

[07:12] <Goatee> I can't install custom gwibber themes. I checked everything. it seems to me that the only real difference between the custom theme and the default themes is that the custom template.mako is seen by ubuntu as an html file and the default ones as plain text. I can't figure out how to tell ubuntu that the custom .mako is a plain text also. could anyone help me here?
[07:12] <intmed> what is pulseaudio
[07:12] <Eventyret> violinappren: i did ask the question in one line :P and it was just one question ^^
[07:12] <sebsebseb> intmed: what Ubuntu uses by default for sound since 8.04
[07:13] <sebsebseb> intmed: it is also the cause for most problems with sound in Ubuntu,  because they haven't exactly done it properly
[07:13] <violinappren> Eventyret: you asked if someone could help you but you didn't state exactly what the problem is
[07:13] <TiK> anyone know how t make a 32bit USB startup disk hve a persistance, I run 64 bit and need a bootable USB or school that saves files) but it as greyed out

[07:14] <OpenSourcery> ok
[07:14] <intmed> ok
[07:14] <rebirth> i am having problems with pulseaudio
[07:14] <Eventyret> violinappren:  i stated its with xconfig and the nvidia drivers :P
[07:15] <Eventyret> and i cant seem to find how to config it correctly oO
[07:15] <intmed> sebsebseb: i downloaded impulse screenlet. but it now working. any one tried it
[07:15] <violinappren> Eventyret: what errors do you get?
[07:15] <sebsebseb> intmed: I don't know what that is
[07:15] <realubot> Is it possible to list all packages and updates installed on my system from a spcial PPA?
[07:15] <Eventyret> violinappren: uhm had lots of it before X started, dunno if its a log of them somewhere ? it seems it just not starting
[07:16] <intmed> it is graphical spectram analyzer
[07:16] <violinappren> Eventyret: they could be in /var/log/Xorg* .. check
[07:16] <yoshie> jamil_1 ok back
[07:16] <intmed> sebsebseb: which version of ubuntu are you using ?
[07:16] <johngilbrough> Need help -- something i installed this afternoon via apt-get has messed things up bad -- how do I determin what I've installed in reverse time order?
[07:17] <johngilbrough> Most current first?
[07:17] <sebsebseb> intmed: I don't use Ubuntu on this computer anymore, with the exception of  Ubuntu virtual machine trying of the development version sometimes, another distro instead
[07:17] <Eventyret> violinappren: it is xorg.1.log.old
[07:17] <intmed> sebsebseb: ok
[07:17] <Eventyret> violinappren: but it is 1.2.3.4 :P
[07:18] <violinappren> johngilbrough: check dpkg/apt logs
[07:18] <umarsheikh> i have a ubuntu 10 cd, and my os is curretnly ubuntu 8.04. can i upgrade to ubuntu 10 but still keeep all my data and programs intact?
[07:18] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: yes, but
[07:19] <TiK> umarsheikh: partition you harddrive and copy what you want to save (movies and music?) onto it I guess
[07:19] <Eventyret> violinappren:  found it
[07:19] <Eventyret> violinappren:  (EE) Jul 16 07:48:05 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the
[07:19] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: it seems that its best to wait for the .1 release which will be soon,  I mean the update manager in 8.04 isn't even telling you that 10.04 is availalbe yet right?
[07:19] <violinappren> Eventyret: copy to a pastebin
[07:19] <Eventyret> oh my apologize :)
[07:19] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: I was told that it won't tell 8.04 users that 10.04 is available until the 10.04.1 release earlier
[07:19] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: so that when they upgrade it should be quite stable
[07:20] <yoshie> jamil_1 you there?
[07:20] <Eventyret>  violinappren http://pastebin.org/398858
[07:20] <vikasap> How can I reduce the size of my icons on the desktop ?
[07:20] <umarsheikh> sebsebseb, thanks for the information, my ubuntu 8.04 is badly broken, i filed a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/606131. it tells me it needs to update 1072 or sth
[07:21] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: whats the problem with the 8.04 install?
[07:21] <non00b> can someone please point me to a guide on using upstart, please. I'm still used to doing things the old-school way & need to alter some servies startup & priorities
[07:21] <violinappren> vikasap: in nautilus, edit > preferences
[07:21] <jamil_1> yoshie, yp
[07:22] <umarsheikh> sebsebseb, it was working all right till a week ago, i last updated my system about two weeks ago, but now it gives me the error that it cannot calculate upgrade.
[07:22] <Sickler> hey ya'll, when i spoof my mac address i cannot access the internet thereafter, i have tried disabling my wireless network and powercycling my router. any advice?
[07:22] <thune3> purvesh: i don't think the keyboard error message is a problem. The bug you link to, the person had that error message, but the problem was something else: a video problem. have you ever gotten graphics working on this system?
[07:22] <yoshie> jamil_1 here is the out put error in terminal,   yoshie@yoshie-desktop:~$ sudo mount -t udf -o ro,unhide,uid=yoshie /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrom0
[07:22] <yoshie> mount: mount point /dev/cdrom0 does not exist
[07:22] <umarsheikh> sebsebseb, sudo apt-get -f install does nothing,
[07:22] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: ok Synaptic has an  option for fixing broken packages and such
[07:23] <Goatee> I can't install custom gwibber themes. it seems to me that the only difference between the custom theme and the default themes is that the custom template.mako is seen by ubuntu as an html file and the default ones as plain text. How can I tell ubuntu that the custom .mako is a plain text as well?
[07:23] <umarsheikh> sebsebseb, how do i make use of it and where is it?
[07:23] <nisstyre65> Sickler: check if your access point has mac addr filtering?
[07:23] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: look around Synaptic there should be an option or two, that can probably help you
[07:23] <jamil_1> yoshie, change /dev/cdrom0 to /cdrom
[07:23] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: system > administration  > synaptic package manager
[07:23] <Sickler> nisstyre65: how would i do that
[07:24] <nisstyre65> Sickler: do you have access to your router or whatever you're using to connect to the internet?
[07:24] <Sickler> nisstyre65: yea
[07:24] <Eventyret> violinappren:  i will try a reinstall of the driver found a guide on the forums
[07:24] <violinappren> Eventyret: then check the kernel logs
[07:24] <vikasap> violinappren: There is nothing between 66% and 100% :-P
[07:24] <yoshie> jamil_1 hmm did that and nothing happend. interesting
[07:25] <yoshie> jamil_1 seems like we are on the right track though
[07:25] <jamil_1> yoshie, you are in terminal right ?
[07:25] <nisstyre65> Sickler: just see if it has an option to only allow certain mac addresses, but that isn't likely to be the problem. What are you 'spoofing' your mac address to? It might be autodetecting bogus mac addresses or something.
[07:25] <jamil_1> yoshie,  cd /cdrom
[07:25] <yoshie> jamil_1 correct
[07:25] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: also when/if you get that working great,  if you got a 8.04 that works nicely again,  I assume your on the desktop,  well if I was doing 8.04 on the desktop still,  I would  keep it probably untill it goes end of life no more security updates,  at the end of April next year
[07:25] <jamil_1> yoshie, and then type ls
[07:26] <Eventyret> exit
[07:26] <Sickler> nisstyre65: i am using macchanger-gtk and creating one very similar fake one compared to mine
[07:26] <yoshie> jamil_1 output pasted,  Autorun.inf    Installer.ico         Installer Tome 6.mpq
[07:26] <yoshie> Desktop DB     Installer Tome 2.mpq  Installer Tome.mpq

[07:26] <FloodBot4> yoshie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:26] <umarsheikh> ok sebsebseb now when i ask it to fix, it says fixed. and when i ask synaptic to reload package infromation, it says: W: GPG error: http://debian.lcs.mit.edu squeeze Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9AA38DCD55BE302B
[07:26] <Hibchibbler> to autoload a kernel module, it says to add an entry to /etc/modules.  I'm wondering where it looks for the ko files by default, and how to add additional paths?
[07:26] <jamil_1> yoshie, now you can use wine
[07:26] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: ok looks like you have added a Debian repo yourself, your not meant to use Debian repos at al in Ubuntu
[07:27] <sebsebseb> !debian | umarsheikh
[07:27] <yoshie> jamil_1 only problem is i need to see the DVD icon to right click on that .EXE file to use wine to install it.
[07:27] <xahur> i asked for help getting gnome-user-share to work, so far I've only been told to read up on smb. which doesn't really help me on the isdue in question
[07:27] <jamil_1> yoshie, type: echo $PWD
[07:27] <xahur> issue*
[07:27] <johngilbrough> violinappren, I think it was cairo-clock - will restart and see....
[07:28] <nisstyre65> Sickler: you could try doing it "manually" and see if there's any difference http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MAC_Address_Spoofing#Method_2:_Manual
[07:28] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: and when you download Debs yourself, make sure they are for Ubuntu, not Debian, and from trusted sources such as offical websites
[07:28] <Sickler> nisstyre65: will do thanks, ill give it a shot
[07:28] <yoshie> jamil_1 i see the LS list in Terminal, but nothing on the Desktop or the Computer
[07:28] <MaRk-I> umarsheikh: you need to add that pgp key or disable that repo temporarily
[07:28] <umarsheikh> sebsebseb, now how do i remove this addition.
[07:28] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: Why were you adding a repo yourself, for what?
[07:28] <umarsheikh> MaRk-I, i would be glad to disable it and move ahead
[07:29] <jamil_1> yoshie, what was the output of last command ?
[07:29] <umarsheikh> sebsebseb, i dont remember, probably i added it for rabbitmq-server but i am not sure
[07:29] <preecher> i kno this isnt ubuntu related but when i go to dload a program and it takes me to a "ftp" with a list of a lot of different files like -parent directory and so on--how do i download the program im wanting
[07:29] <yoshie> jamil_1 last command i did was LS
[07:29] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: right and what is that?
[07:29] <jamil_1> yoshie, echo $PWD
[07:29] <MaRk-I> umarsheikh: system/administracion/software sources / 3rd party uncheck it
[07:30] <umarsheikh> sebsebseb, related to events handling in probably rails applications, but may be its scope is a bit broader
[07:30] <yoshie> Jamil_1   yoshie@yoshie-desktop:/cdrom$ echo $PWD
[07:30] <yoshie> yoshie@yoshie-desktop:/cdrom$
[07:30] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: yeah go into software sources like he said, you can also get into it from Synaptic
[07:30] <jamil_1> yoshie, type wine Installer.exe
[07:30] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: then remove/disable the repo in there
[07:30] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: also if the program is installed from that repo, you should probably really remove it first
[07:31] <yoshie> jamil_1 ok let me finish these updates for ubuntu and ill try that command
[07:31] <Purpley> Is there a easy way to test the upload speed on my server through ssh?
[07:31] <vikasap> Is it ok to remove ubuntu one if I dont really use it ?
[07:31] <violinappren> preecher: do you mean an ftp client? try filezilla, gftp or just enter the ftp url in firefox
[07:31] <umarsheikh> MaRk-I and sebseb there are a number of things from there, like medibuntu, debian, ppa etc. shouldi uncheck the debian only or all of them?
[07:31] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: altough the message you did copy in, was simpally a security warning,  you hadn't done the verification thing,  however it also did say it was for Debian squeeze
[07:32] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: and your not meant to be using Debian versions of programs/repos in Ubuntu, as I was saying
[07:32] <MaRk-I> umarsheikh: read your the ERROR, gives you which repo is failing
[07:32] <preecher> violinappren thx
[07:32] <vikasap> I am skeptical about the software that I might accidently sync my data online
[07:32] <MaRk-I> umarsheikh: http://debian.lcs.mit.edu squeeze      <<<<
[07:32] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: just untick the Debian repo that you showed here
[07:32] <umarsheikh> MaRk-I, and sebsebseb ok, thanks, will uncheck that. i think i updaetd a file to effect adding of debian. do i also need to edit that source file, or will making changes from here also update that file?
[07:32] <Purpley> Is there a easy way to test the upload speed on my server through ssh?
[07:32] <sebsebseb> vikasap: yes you can remove Ubuntu One :)
[07:32] <umarsheikh> sebsebseb, ok will uncheck that
[07:33] <sebsebseb> vikasap: also you need an acstaul Ubuntu One account to use it
[07:33] <intmed> is ubuntu repository for ubuntu 64bit different from 32bit
[07:33] <sebsebseb> intmed: no
[07:33] <TiK> intmed: yeah different deb files are dl'd
[07:33] <Goatee> Gwibber won't accept custom themes. it seems to me that the only difference between the custom and the default theme is that the custom template.mako is seen by ubuntu as an html file and the default one as plain text. How can I tell ubuntu that the custom .mako is a plain text as well?
[07:33] <sebsebseb> intmed: in fact I think  its the same repo for both versions, and then they just detect 32bit or 64bit
[07:33] <vikasap> sebsebseb: Ok , thank you
[07:33] <DasEi> Purpley: do a testfile with scp, that also shows speed
[07:33] <finemann> Hi, my laptop runs lucid. When I start it, the screen blinks four times and a message regarding a missing WMID driver appears. After that everything starts normally. Is this a problem? (I have only ubuntu on my sys)
[07:33] <violinappren> Purpley: do you mean the upload speed for the whole server? try ntop
[07:34] <thune3> Hibchibbler: i believe you can make a directory  under /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/ and put it there. See item 10) in http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-module.html Set autoload with the instructions you have.
[07:34] <intmed> ok
[07:34] <Purpley> violinappren: Does that require a gui?
[07:34] <MaRk-I> finemann: acer laptop?
[07:34] <sebsebseb> vikasap: Your welcome :)
[07:34] <finemann> MaRk-I: yup
[07:34] <violinappren> Purpley: no, runs in terminal like top
[07:34] <vikasap> I simply hate software such as ubuntu one :-P
[07:34] <sebsebseb> vikasap: Ubuntu One is something I don't want to use either :)
[07:34] <MaRk-I> finemann: you might want to blacklist acer-wmi
[07:34] <Purpley> vikasap: You hate ubuntu! What?
[07:35] <vikasap> Purpley: You are missing the One
[07:35] <sebsebseb> Purpley: read it again
[07:35] <Purpley> sebsebseb: Ahhh
[07:35] <Purpley> Im tired :/ eyes decieve me
[07:35] <umarsheikh> sebsebseb, and MaRk-I , as soon as i removed the debian, my update has started wroking again, thanks a lot for this very frightening, but easy-to-fix-if-you-know-it fix!
[07:35] <finemann> MaRk-I: why is it having a problem?
[07:36] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: Your welcome :)
[07:36] <sebsebseb> umarsheikh: and indeed pretty easy to fix
[07:36] <finemann> MaRk-I: i mean: why, is it having a problem?
[07:36] <Purpley> violinappren: ? I dont see anything simple looks like its doing something with a bunch of protocols I just need to test port 80
[07:36] <Purpley> And see my servers upload kinda like speedtest.net
[07:36] <MaRk-I> finemann: no idea, google acer-wmi you'll see... but you can blacklist it doing the following in terminal and reboot: echo blacklist acer-wmi | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-acer-wmi.conf
[07:37] <TiK> Purp: you can upload a dummy file
[07:37] <jenue> guys, does ftp works fine in your ubuntu 10.04?
[07:37] <finemann> MaRk-I: so after that the whole thing'll come alright?
[07:38] <MaRk-I> finemann: actually do:   gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf     and just add:   blacklist acer-wmi              save and reboot
[07:39] <finemann> MaRk-I: okay, thanks lemme see.
[07:39] <yoshie> jamil_1 Updates finished need to restart be right back.
[07:40] <purvesh> thune3, sry for this much late reply, ya m often using my onboard graphic. i mean i use last option at Desktop prefrence, Visual Effect - Extra
[07:41] <Hibchibbler> thune3: thank you
[07:41] <thune3> purvesh: i'm not following. you have a configuration that works? and then you do something that doesn't work?
[07:42] <rage1> does vmware server allow creation of guest images? or is workstation required?
[07:42] <Goatee> Gwibber won't accept custom themes. The only difference between the custom and the default theme is that the custom template.mako is seen by ubuntu as an html file and the default one as plain text. How can I tell ubuntu that the custom .mako is a plain text as well?
[07:43] <purvesh> thune3, but ... may be all the thing is working fine
[07:43] <thune3> Hibchibbler: be aware that you will need to add that module to the dir of every new kernel you may upgrade to
[07:43] <thune3> purvesh: so everything works, you were just concerned about that error message?
[07:45] <yoshie> jamil_1 ok back
[07:45] <intmed> does ubuntu server stores the irc logs
[07:46] <s3r3n1t7> intmed, check the topic
[07:46] <Hibchibbler> thune3: when i upgrade, the path where it searches for modules changes?
[07:46] <finemann> MaRk-I: hi, the fix worked alright and i dont get anything about a missing wmid. but the screen still blinks 5 times. any way to fix this?
[07:46] <Aidar-Nagato> hi) i use one /boot for ubuntu and gentoo, but update-grub finds all kernels (both ubuntu's and gentoo's) and uses them with both system. is there a way to fix it without manual changing grub.cfg?
[07:47] <violinappren> Aidar-Nagato: why have the same /boot for two operating systems?!
[07:47] <intmed> s3r3n1t7: ok
[07:48] <Hibchibbler> thune3: ahh, so it must use the `uname -r` expansion
[07:48] <MaRk-I> finemann: hmm no idea depends on what makes it flicker/blink
[07:48] <thune3> Hibchibbler: each new kernel installs a new directory /lib/modules/2.6.32-99-generic/... , and that kernel searches for modules there.
[07:48] <yoshie> jamil_1 you there?
[07:48] <Hibchibbler> thune3: ok. thank you.
[07:48] <finemann> MaRk-I: anyway thanks regarding the other fix
[07:48] <MaRk-I> finemann: yw
[07:49] <jamil_1> yoshie, yp
[07:49] <arturo> hola?
[07:49] <jamil_1> yoshie, have you mounted the dvd ?
[07:49] <arturo> hola
[07:49] <System-7> Hello, I was just wondering, how can I change the gnome menu logo in the new 10.04 distro? I'm attempting to restore a decent human theme on my desktop, and I would rather get the classic colored logo up there than that dull gray one. I tried common places like /usr/share/icons but although my icon set is "Humanity" in the theme control changing "start-here.svg" in "Humanity" has no effect on the logo.
[07:49] <s3r3n1t7> Aidar-Nagato, I don't see how grub would be able to distinguish between the gentoo and ubuntu kernels, so I'm afraid the answer to that would be no.
[07:50] <Aidar-Nagato> s3r3n1t7, ok, thanx
[07:50] <intmed> i want a software to download a site, for offline reading
[07:50] <yoshie> jamil_1 no its on default right now, should i go ahead and unmount it and try to mount it again?
[07:51] <jamil_1> yoshie, yp
[07:51] <troopperi> intmed: firefox?
[07:52] <yoshie> jamil_1 right clicking on the DVD on the desktop doesnt give me the option to unmount like it did in 9.10
[07:52] <Sickler> does it make a difference that my wireless shows up as eth instead of wifi under ifconfig -a
[07:52] <Goatee> Gwibber won't accept custom themes. The only difference between the custom and the default theme is that the custom template.mako is seen by Ubuntu as an html file and the default one as plain text. How can I tell Ubuntu that the custom .mako is a plain text as well?
[07:52] <yoshie> jamil_1 should i just use terminal?> or is there  a way to fix this?
[07:52] <jamil_1> yoshie, you better make terminal you friend :)
[07:53] <rage1> does vmware server allow creation of guest images? or is workstation required?
[07:53] <violinappren> rage1: check it's entry on wikipedia
[07:53] <s3r3n1t7> Goatee, it depends on the content and the magic file numbers. Instead of going on the extensions like windows does, ubuntu checks the files themselves. For example, renaming a .avi to .jpg in windows will make it try to open in an image viewer, whereas ubuntu will still open it with a movie player. Have you checked that there are no spelling mistakes?
[07:54] <yoshie> jamil_1 ok i think its mounted...
[07:54] <jamil_1> yoshie, you are in terminal ?
[07:54] <yoshie> jamil_1 yes
[07:55] <violinappren> s3r3n1t7: actually, no. it depends on how the program code itself checks for file type (and not all programs use the same mechanism as file managers)
[07:55] <jamil_1> yoshie, dvd is mounted ?
[07:55] <Goatee> s3r3n1t7: I did. and Ubuntu does indeed see it as a plain text if I put .txt as extension.
[07:55] <yoshie> jamil_1 im not sure , doesnt show a desktop icon
[07:55] <DasEi> rage1: wrong place here;; either w-station or server, free for trial only required

[07:56] <violinappren> yoshie: use  a pastebin to avoid being silenced here
[07:57] <s3r3n1t7> violinappren, the program is called from ubuntu, which chooses the program depending on the file contents.
[07:57] <s3r3n1t7> Goatee, that's because both .html and .txt are text
[07:57] <jamil_1> yoshie, now ls and tell me if you get some out put or not
[07:58] <violinappren> s3r3n1t7: he's having a program with how gwibber detects the them not the file manager
[07:58] <violinappren> s/program/problem
[07:58] <Goatee> s3r3n1t7: but the info-window of the .mako differs both. and only the .mako's which as seen as "Plain Text" not "HTML file" are working as themes for some odd reason. :/
[07:58] <rox_> does this website work? http://www.xplicit.ca
[07:58] <s3r3n1t7> Goatee, it sounds like a spelling error in the custom .mako
[07:59] <yoshie> jamil_1 yes it has the output of the world of warcraft DVD
[07:59] <jamil_1> rox: only directory listing
[07:59] <jamil_1> ok
[07:59] <DasEi> rox_: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
[07:59] <jamil_1> yoshie, type wine Installer.exe
[07:59] <Topy> hm... i somehow fucked up my settings. on boot, i get the whole "your display isnt configured correctly" crap, but if i just cancel and start gdm from the command line it works perfectly
[08:00] <Goatee> s3r3n1t7: nope. it's template.mako. the same on the original. I copied the name from the original file. and the code in the .mako itself is correct too
[08:00] <yoshie> Jamil_1 it worked ! your a genius !!!!! thanks man
[08:00] <Topy> any ideas?
[08:01] <yoshie> jamil_1 Curious do you know why it has changed now in 10.04 ?
[08:01] <DasEi> Topy: using propitary drivers ?
[08:01] <jamil_1> yoshie, no idea
[08:02] <yoshie> jamil_1 is there a way to make the DVD show on the desktop or no?
[08:03] <jamil_1> yoshie, I havn't tried such thing before
[08:03] <yoshie> jamil_1 oh ok, is there somewhere you found this information at? so i can view it?
[08:03] <intmed> any app like httrack with good hui
[08:03] <intmed> gui
[08:04] <somethinginteres> Are workspaces saved after you exit a session?
[08:04] <DasEi> yoshie: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=447234
[08:04] <System-7> Hello, I was just wondering, how can I change the gnome menu logo in the new 10.04 distro? no effect on the logo.
[08:04] <Topy> DasEi: no (and it all worked before btw, it broke when i started messing with display managers)
[08:04] <jamil_1> yoshie, I don't think I have done much for you. You can use this if you are not already using it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[08:05] <Vig> somethinginteres: A Live session or a Guest session?
[08:05] <DasEi> Topy: have you got an /etc/X11/xorg.conf with content (gedit will show you) ?
[08:06] <kaushal> hi
[08:06] <kaushal> can someone please guide me about my post on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-July/223352.html ?
[08:06] <yoshie> jamil_1 awesome thanks, and for the record you have done more than I expected anyone too, so once again thank you ^^
[08:06] <Topy> DasEi: heh... it got lost somehow. but...wasnt xorg.conf deprecated or something?
[08:06] <jamil_1> yoshie, :)
[08:07] <troopperi> intmed: there is ubuntu version of httrack, but do you want use something else?
[08:08] <chepo> i got a amd64 but install ubuntu 9.10 32bit does that make a different?anybody and is 64bid better
[08:08] <DasEi> Topy: yes and no, it's empty by default, though filled by config again and can still be used, anyway, answer to previous question ?
[08:08] <Topy> DasEi: it doesnt exist
[08:08] <Topy> DasEi: but again: if i start gdm manually, everything works fine
[08:08] <Topy> as in, "sudo gdm"
[08:09] <DasEi> chepo: standard 32 handles max. 4 g ram, including graphics
[08:09] <chepo> is 64bid better for games do
[08:09] <intmed> troopperi: but it is command line, isn't it ?
[08:09] <troopperi> intmed: i check out...
[08:09] <chepo> like the graphics
[08:09] <DasEi> Topy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  ,  and also, which g-card do you use ?
[08:10] <Topy> DasEi: its an eeepc 701, so... whatever cheap intel chip they put in there
[08:10] <DasEi> chepo: my 64 runs fine, though there are few apps just available in 32 , little hassle to install
[08:10] <Goatee> I give up... maybe someday gwibber themes will make sense to me. right now it's just random....
[08:10] <Daniel12377> is there a log for remote desktop connextions ?
[08:10] <DasEi> chepo: ram/cpu ?
[08:11] <chepo> 3
[08:11] <chepo> 3gb
[08:11] <DasEi> Daniel12377: for tightvnc there is
[08:11] <Daniel12377> and for the default Remote Desktop ?
[08:11] <Topy> DasEi: and i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg before, no effect
[08:11] <troopperi> intmed: its open on my Kubuntu at Konqueror and i can select languages etc.
[08:12] <DasEi> Topy: so try reconfiguring, after (will log you off) sudo service gdm restart
[08:12] <DasEi> Topy: changes will be seen after next X restart#
[08:12] <intmed> troopperi: you mean it has gui
[08:12] <troopperi> intmed: yep
[08:12] <troopperi> intmed: i install it at repos
[08:13] <Topy> DasEi: i was doing all of that from the commandline, with no x running, and i restartet afterwards
[08:13] <Topy> *restarted
[08:13] <DasEi>  chepo : kinda cpu ?
[08:14] <DasEi> topy: least there should be an xorg now, might need modlines for it
[08:14] <chepo> emachine
[08:14] <chepo> el1200
[08:15] <chepo> emachine
[08:15] <DasEi> chepo: stay with 32 then, there is also the possib of pae, case ram increases
[08:15] <DasEi> !pae
[08:15] <Vig> Topy: What DasEi says is on the mark. looks like it is all solved in Launchpad: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+questions?field.search_text=gdm+start+at+boot&field.sort=RELEVANCY&field.sort-empty-marker=1&field.actions.search=Search&field.language=en&field.language-empty-marker=1&field.status=OPEN&field.status=NEEDSINFO&field.status=ANSWERED&field.status=SOLVED&field.status-empty-marker=1
[08:15] <Hibchibbler> thune3: no luck, it didn't load after following those instructions.
[08:16] <chepo> k but 64bid is better 4 games ah like the graphics
[08:16] <Hibchibbler> thune3: i can successfully load it with insmod, and I can see its output with dmesg. but it won't auto load because i don't understand who/what/where does what with /etc/modules
[08:17] <somethinginteres> Vig: A live session
[08:17] <DasEi> vig: thanks, could you use tinyurl, can't call that link
[08:17] <DasEi> vig: http://tinyurl.com/
[08:18] <Topy> Vig: sorry, but i dont see a single post relevant to my problem there
[08:18] <chepo> we got a bet 32bid games or 64bit games wish one is better graphics
[08:18] <Vig> DasEi: My bad, pulled it straight from Launchpad, search Launchpad GDM it pops up.
[08:19] <AdvoWork> if i have an okish spec ubuntu pc, can i somehow make it so i can have multiple rdp connections coming in(from either windows or ubuntu) chances are there will be less than 10 connections, possibly 5 concurrent connections to this pc..(chances are the pc i want to do this on will be a virtual os)
[08:20] <Vig> somethinginteres: Any changes or configurations in a Live session are usually not saved, they can be, takes a while to learn, ...
[08:20] <Hibchibbler> thune3: off to try depmod -a
[08:20] <violinappren> AdvoWork: you have to actually test it to know
[08:20] <somethinginteres> Vig: What I'd like is to be able to have a 'work' workspace, a 'game' workspace etc
[08:20] <chepo> can anybody tell me witch one is better using 32bid or using 64bid on games.witch one got better graphics
[08:20] <AdvoWork> violinappren, is there a specific rdp server i should be considering?
[08:21] <Topy> can i somehow get more detailed information about what happens when X tries to start? is there a proper log anywhere?
[08:21] <DasEi> chepo: no, graphics are dependend of g-card and available drivers, the 64 comes in hand in adressing issues on more extended hardware
[08:22] <violinappren> AdvoWork: well not rdc, but did you check neatx? it's an NX server
[08:22] <intmed> i want to use the gprs connection on my mobile through bluetooth in pc.
[08:22] <Vig> somethinginteres: That can be done, not easily in LiveCD, but a csmm or gconf using Compiz can do that.
[08:22] <DasEi> Topy: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:22] <chepo> k thanks buddy
[08:23] <DasEi> Topy: also dmeg (pipe to textfile) and /var/log/syslog might reveal something
[08:23] <DasEi> dmesg*
[08:23] <somethinginteres> Vig: what about just a standard non-LiveCD session?
[08:24] <Vig> somethinginteres: Is definitely do-able.
[08:25] <System-7> Hello, how can I change the gnome menu logo in the new 10.04 distro? From the bland gray one to the old colorful one?

[08:25] <DasEi> somethinginteres: what do you want to achieve ?
[08:26] <banisterfiend> somethinginteres: this may sound premature but do you want to be BFFS ?
[08:26] <Vig> somethinginteres: Pulling it up now on the forums...
[08:26] <Hibchibbler> thune3: for your own edification, i went to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/hello1 and ran depmod -a    and it worked.
[08:27] <Error404NotFound> i remove evolution but there are still some packages left that has to do with evolution, when i try to remove them apt-get also include ubuntu-desktop in remove list: http://pastebin.com/qn3iFtBU
[08:27] <rww> Error404NotFound: evolution-data-server isn't specifically related to evolution, despite the name. It's a backend server used by rather a lot of GNOME. I'd recommend leaving it installed.
[08:27] <somethinginteres> DasEi: I just want to have a different workspace for what I do - like, games etc so that all of that can be on one desktop's workspace
[08:27] <DasEi> Error404NotFound: use apt-get autoremove to just clean uneeded packages
[08:28] <Vig> somethinginteres: Here is a wallpapoz one, it is basically the same idea, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=17359
[08:28] <Error404NotFound> rww, what about others?
[08:28] <somethinginteres> Though, I am not trying to do it for LiveCD that was a mistake on my part :)
[08:28] <DasEi> somethinginteres: on the same system ? can you use compiz ?
[08:29] <k23z> how do I copy a file/directory with full path on Linux ?
[08:29] <DasEi> k23z: cp -r
[08:29] <rww> Error404NotFound: evolution-common, evolution-webcal, and nautilus-sendto should be removable. The rest look like EDS depends.
[08:29] <k23z> DasEi: no, that's recursive isn't it ? and it doesn't copy just one file, it copies the whole directory structure
[08:29] <somethinginteres> DasEi: yeah on the same system, yep I have compiz installed
[08:29] <somethinginteres> Vig: checking the link now
[08:29] <Error404NotFound> hmmm
[08:29] <rebirth> who ever sent me that link on fixing my sound in 10.04, it appears to have worked, so thanks!
[08:29] <banisterfiend> somethinginteres: well?
[08:29] <nio707> hello all
[08:30] <DasEi> k23z: right, then I didn't get you
[08:30] <nio707> need some help in ubuntu 8.04lts
[08:30] <banisterfiend> rebith: can you give me that link too? my sound is fucked too
[08:30] <violinappren> !help | nio707
[08:30] <Daniel12377> can i enable logs for vino-server ?
[08:30] <k23z> DasEi: ok
[08:30] <DasEi> somethinginteres: just use the cube ?
[08:30] <nio707> i cannot upgrade rdesktop1.5 to rdesktop 1.6
[08:31] <nio707> i downloaded the source and build   it
[08:31] <Vig> somethinginteres: And then there is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1516915&highlight=multiple+workspaces. It works well with KDE, you can install KDE widgets, programs and still use Gnome Desktop.
[08:31] <Error404NotFound> rww, nope, still tries to remove ubuntu-desktop :P
[08:31] <rww> banisterfiend: watch your language, please
[08:31] <banisterfiend> rebirth: i must warn you sometimes i get the impulse to rape. so if you do not give me that link i dont know exactly what could happen
[08:31] <rww> !guidelines > banisterfiend
[08:32] <rww> Error404NotFound: copy the command you're using and its output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, and link the created page here
[08:32] <nio707> and when i tried to install using make install the rdesktop file is still old rdesktop1.5
[08:32] <AdvoWork> violinappren, never heard of neatx, you used it before?
[08:32] <Error404NotFound> rww, removing nautilus-sendto however allows me to remove evolution-common and the webcal package without removing others.
[08:32] <seidos> Error404NotFound, rww I had the same problem trying to remove evolution
[08:32] <rebirth> http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala
[08:33] <seidos> Error404NotFound, rww I gave up, I assumed there was a library that evolution uses that is necessary for ubuntu-desktop
[08:33] <DasEi> k23z: if you want to copy a file, you won't use -r , if you want the content of a dir w/o  subdirs, use asterisks.. or ask again ?
[08:33] <Error404NotFound> seidos, its just stupid how closely coupled a mail client could be...
[08:33] <rww> seidos: they are, I mentioned as much earlier :)
[08:33] <violinappren> AdvoWork: no
[08:33] <k23z> DasEi: just -a or --parents
[08:34] <violinappren> AdvoWork: but i've used NX and it's pretty fast
[08:34] <nio707> apt-get upgrade rdesktop donot update rdesktop and give the message that it is the latest i could not understand what is the problem in upgrading an application
[08:34] <Scotsman> how do I mount a RAM disk please
[08:34] <rww> Error404NotFound: again, evolution-data-server is related to the mail client only in that the mail client is why it exists. If you remove all of the packages with "evolution" in the name apart from the evolution-data-server and evolution-data-server-common ones, the mail client is gone.
[08:34] <AdvoWork> violinappren, NX is like a terminology or a package? excuse my ignorance
[08:35] <rww> other stuff in GNOME uses the EDS backend. It really isn't removable.
[08:35] <nio707> NX means no machine
[08:35] <violinappren> AdvoWork: NX is a protocol like RDC, neatx is a server implementation of it, there are clients for gnu/linux and windows
[08:35] <nio707> it is a terminal server project for linux
[08:35] <violinappren> nio707: then the repositories don't have a new version of rdesktop
[08:36] <violinappren> nio707: what version of ubuntu are you runnning?
[08:36] <nio707> what sould i do then should i upgrade my ubuntu to 10
[08:36] <Scotsman> how do I mount a RAM disk please
[08:37] <AdvoWork> violinappren, ok cool, basically my problem is this, internally at site A, run a web based quoting system/lots of data, internally its fast, externally(site B) sending data fast, receiving slow, considering making the clients at site b connect to a server here and use the web browser on a pc here, should be fast. what do you think?
[08:37] <Vig> nio9707: Make a backup
[08:37] <violinappren> !upgrade | nio707
[08:37] <Scotsman> !ram

[08:39] <nio707> violinappren there is a bug in rdesktop 1.5 for ubuntu someone might have reported it how to find out and rectify this problem i need this desperately
[08:39] <thune3> System-7: i was offline so i don't know if you were answered. I'm on 9.10 (maybe it changed for 10.04) and the icon is /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png which you can backup and replace.

[08:41] <om26er> :(
[08:41] <johngilbrough> violinappren, Thank you, I believe the real culprit that was interfering with my keystrokes was my installing tcsh which was required for getting a Brother network printer working.  Uninstalled tcsh, rebotted and everything is behaving now.  Again Thank You.

[08:43] <aaaoooaaa> hi guys, I have an instructional book that has an audio cd accompanying it; I tried to make a backup using brasero and it spit out a .toc + bin(i think) file . Just to confirm, i tried burning, using brasero, unto an empty cd , but it isnt being recognized. What should I do?
[08:43] <n0n00b> violinappren & DasEi: both those are extra tools that needs installation. how does one admin the upstart process without extra 3rd-part y apps? no internal app like `crontab -e`?
[08:44] <om26er> nio707, btw there is a new LTS out there too ;)

[08:44] <violinappren> n0n00b: arrange the binary values on disk by hand
[08:44] <violinappren> johngilbrough: no i'm not
[08:45] <ceekays> DasEi: Thanks,  I will try installing Ubuntu Tweak
[08:45] <DasEi> n0n00b: that's update-rc.d , but to be honest, there had been many changes recently, which I havent followed up yet, will have to ask again for non GUI
[08:45] <bullgard> Is the proper way to retart the NetworkManager '~$ service networki-manager restart' or '~$ sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart'?
[08:45] <nio707> om26er is it possible to replace the rdesktop manually
[08:45] <bullgard> s/retart/restart/
[08:45] <n0n00b> violinappren & DasEi: this could be a very serious problem for unexperienced users....
[08:45] <violinappren> nio707: you could go to packages.ubuntu.com and download a newer version (packaged for a later distro version) and install it by hand .. but this may or may not work
[08:46] <nio707> i used ldd to find out the dependencies
[08:46] <AdvoWork> violinappren, any ideas if that would make an improvement? i assume it would, yet can't test

[08:46] <om26er> nio707, I dont know.

[08:47] <n0n00b> violinappren:  sysv-rc-conf should work well, thanks
[08:47] <violinappren> AdvoWork: it depends on the size of the data being tansferred.. but if you'd still go the remote desktop route, NX is compressed and very light on the network
[08:47] <violinappren> nio707: yes
[08:47] <DasEi> ceekays: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa

[08:48] <rsk> CkhiKuzad: so why did you even ask?
[08:48] <DasEi> ceekays: then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
[08:48] <rsk> CkhiKuzad: if you already knew the answear?
[08:48] <n0n00b> violinappren: that tool is the SysV runlevel config tool, which I can laready do well by hand. does it also apply settings to upstart?
[08:48] <violinappren> nio707: dont "doubt", try something to see if it actually works or not
[08:48] <CkhiKuzad> rsk, i did that command and got that.
[08:48] <AdvoWork> violinappren, ok thanks for the help, I think i need to do some proper testing
[08:49] <violinappren> n0n00b: upstart is backward compatible

[08:50] <CkhiKuzad> yeah i know that, rsk. the columns on the right all said none or slow. so cumulatively they all were none and slow.
[08:50] <n0n00b> violinappren: so by modifying /etc/rc?.d/S*daemon, pstart holors those changes?
[08:50] <violinappren> ^Mostafa: don't repeat your self, and what errors do you get when trying to run it?
[08:50] <rsk> CkhiKuzad: you just don't know howto read the output
[08:50] <iceroot> ^Mostafa: 1. please remove the ^ from your nick. 2. what does "can not run it" means? its giving an error or you dont know how to start it?
[08:50] <n0n00b> what about gdm? I want to disable it @ boot, but there is not /etc/rc2.d/S*gdm node
[08:50] <rsk> CkhiKuzad: don't presume things
[08:50] <^Mostafa> violinappren,  i don't know how to run it!
[08:51] <CkhiKuzad> rsk, my computer is 9 years old.
[08:51] <violinappren> ^Mostafa: find it in  the Applications menu
[08:51] <rsk> CkhiKuzad: so?
[08:51] <iceroot> ^Mostafa: acroread  in the shell or applicationsmenu
[08:51] <CkhiKuzad> (rsk still) so its likely that it isnt compatible.
[08:51] <rsk> CkhiKuzad: compatible with that?
[08:51] <CkhiKuzad> rsk: OpenGL.  i will pastebin the results from the command.
[08:51] <aaaoooaaa> hi guys, I have an instructional book that has an audio cd accompanying it; I tried to make a backup using brasero and it spit out a .toc + bin(i think) file . Just to confirm, i tried burning the resulting .toc unto an empty cd, using brasero, but upon reinsertion it isnt being recognized. What should I do?
[08:52] <iceroot> aaaoooaaa: the bin is containing the data
[08:52] <Mostafa> iceroot,  there is not any adobe in any place, i also use alt+F2 but i can't fine it in the list
[08:52] <aaaoooaaa> iceroot: ok so I should choose the .bin when burning?
[08:53] <DasEi> aaaoooaaa: I use k3b or dd for imaging cd's
[08:53] <iceroot> Mostafa: dpkg -l acroread   is showing what?
[08:53] <iceroot> aaaoooaaa: correct
[08:53] <rapsli> I want do disable hpet in grub 2... all the instructions are for grub1 though
[08:54] <DarsVaeda> hi, i ssh to a server pubkey is send but not taken, no specific information given, can i get more information why the key is not taken?
[08:54] <DasEi> rapsli: hpet ?
[08:54] <rsk> DarsVaeda: not unless you have root on the server
[08:54] <rapsli> DasEi: it has to do with the power management
[08:55] <rapsli> DasEi: for example http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1269421
[08:55] <DarsVaeda> if i have?
[08:55] <DasEi> rapsli: you want to modify a kernel option then ?
[08:55] <aaaoooaaa> DasEi: alright I think I found a tutorial on how to burn using dd
[08:55] <DasEi> aaaoooaaa: by dd you can just dd if=dev/sr0 of=any.iso
[08:56] <rapsli> DasEi: I guess? I'm not a linux guru, but I'm having this issue, and google tells me that disabling hpet would solve the issue
[08:56] <CkhiKuzad> rsk: http://pastebin.com/2XPzZLR4
[08:56] <mawst> Is there a way to change the shortcuts in console so instead of alt+arrow left and right I can use my darn weechat/irssi window switching? :D
[08:56] <tawny> i have ubuntu installed with the windows program, should i install grub-pc when upgrading??
[08:57] <rsk> CkhiKuzad:  it can do openGL but it's one of the slowest cards ever produced
[08:57] <aaaoooaaa> DasEi: why sr0 and not say cdrom0 ?
[08:57] <DasEi> rapsli: grub 2 is really different,  try to modify /etc/default/grub (backup the old one!!) , then sudo update-grub,  apart from it , there single files for own menu-entries located elsewhere
[08:57] <DasEi> aaaoooaaa: 'cause dd does a block/sectorwise copy on a device
[08:58] <CkhiKuzad> *metalocalypse guitar riff*ing old computers!
[08:58] <DasEi> rapsli: there are single*...
[08:58] <rapsli> aha :) DasEi: looks better
[08:58] <CkhiKuzad> rsk, so in other words, if i use OpenGL, i will get buttloads of lag, like when i use KDE?
[08:58] <Intmed> Any alternative for nokia pc suite
[08:58] <rsk> CkhiKuzad: probably
[08:59] <rsk> CkhiKuzad: anything using the intelcard will be slow
[08:59] <tawny> ive installed ubuntu with wubi. should i install grub-pc when i do upgrades?
[08:59] <MaRk-I> rapsli: in terminal do:  gksu gedit etc/default/grub.conf     and add in the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash hpet=disable"     do sudo update-grub and reboot
[08:59] <tawny> :/
[08:59] <MakX> Are there any decent GUI download managers that can do scheduling?
[08:59] <CkhiKuzad> damn you, intel! i will ask my aunt if maybe she can get my a oldnew video card
[08:59] <rapsli> Mark-I: Oky
[08:59] <MakX> d4x is rubbish in my opinion, very hard to use
[09:00] <tawny> damn it
[09:00] <DasEi> rapsli: int /etc/grub.d/ you find files, in their headers their purpose is explained, if /etc/default/grub won't do the job, think of visiting #grub, too
[09:00] <DasEi> !grub2
[09:00] <tawny> anyone have a suggestion
[09:00] <tawny> ?'
[09:00] <MaRk-I> rapsli: the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=   is already added there so just add hpet=disable
[09:00] <aaaoooaaa> iceroot: just tried that, same crap
[09:00] <rapsli> MaRk-I: etc/default/grub.conf    is empty. is that normal?
[09:00] <aaaoooaaa> ill try dd now
[09:01] <iceroot> aaaoooaaa: first try to use a better language
[09:01] <DasEi> rapsli: yes, don't edit it, it's /etc/default/grub
[09:01] <tawny> IF I DONT INSTALL GRUB 2 WILL UBUNTU BOOT AFTER I RESTART????
[09:01] <aaaoooaaa> iceroot: huh?
[09:01] <DasEi> !caps
[09:02] <oCean_> tawny: quit the caps
[09:02] <rapsli> DasEi and MaRk-I ... which file should I edit now? grub or grub.conf?
[09:02] <tawny> !POOP
[09:02] <iceroot> aaaoooaaa: we dont need "crap" here
[09:02] <DasEi> rapsli: grub
[09:02] <mneptok> tawny: please calm down
[09:02] <MaRk-I> rapsli: try grub, find the line
[09:02] <violinappren> !guidelines | tawny
[09:02]  * tawny is calmm
[09:02] <aaaoooaaa> iceroot: wow...
[09:02] <tawny> fuck this
[09:02] <MaRk-I> rapsli: /etc/default/grub
[09:03] <mneptok> charming fellow
[09:03] <k1ng> tawny, no its will not start.... no grub == ubuntu
[09:03] <rapsli> oky. DasEi: made the modification. what's the worst thing that can happen?
[09:04] <Mostafa> iceroot,  i have wine, i wanna run IE, what should i do then?
[09:04] <aaaoooaaa> CAN I USE THE WORD CRAP in #ubuntu?
[09:04] <DasEi> rapsli: you did a backup, to grub_orig .. worst is you copy it back  :)
[09:04] <iceroot> aaaoooaaa: stop it
[09:04] <oCean_> aaaoooaaa: stop it please
[09:04] <aaaoooaaa> i guess not
[09:04] <aaaoooaaa> cool
[09:04] <iceroot> Mostafa: install windows in a virtual machine
[09:04] <rapsli> DasEi: but the system will still boot? ;)
[09:04] <DasEi> rapsli: rapsli . file modified, saved ?
[09:04] <Mostafa> iceroot,  you mean in wine ?
[09:04] <rapsli> yep.
[09:05] <iceroot> Mostafa: in virtualbox
[09:05] <rapsli> still have to do the update thing
[09:05] <DasEi> rapsli: should , or have onother entry , case mess up
[09:05] <MaRk-I> rapsli: sudo update-grub  and reboot
[09:05] <iceroot> Mostafa: but why you need the ie?
[09:05] <DasEi> rapsli: sudo update-grub
[09:05] <foureight84> how do you copy from xterm to firefox or gedit?
[09:05] <rapsli> DasEi: ... oky. let's try. ... be back in a minute
[09:05] <foureight84> seems that i can only copy and paste within xterm
[09:06] <DasEi> foureight84: middlemouse
[09:06] <Mostafa> iceroot,  my university site just open  with IE :(
[09:06] <foureight84> DasEi: yes that pastes into xterm
[09:06] <foureight84> but i want to paste what i copied in xterm to firefox or gedit
[09:06] <DasEi> foureight84: and not a marked text back ? mine does
[09:06] <violinappren> Mostafa: google ie4linux
[09:07] <oCean_> foureight84: for me, middlemouse also pastes from xterm to firefox or whatever
[09:07] <oCean_> !afk > NightKhaos|Away
[09:07] <foureight84> weird it doesn't work like that for me
[09:07] <DasEi> Mostafa: or get a addon for ff, cheating header information
[09:07] <MaRk-I> Mostafa: use "user agent switcher in firefox" and make it look like it's IE  unless you need activeX you need to install ie with wine
[09:07] <Mostafa> DasEi,  how i can do that?
[09:07] <foureight84> DasEi: wait it does
[09:07] <DasEi> Mostafa: see MaRk-I
[09:07] <iceroot> Mostafa: change the university if the website only working with ie
[09:08] <DasEi> foureight84: ;-)
[09:08] <MaRk-I> iceroot: lol
[09:08] <DasEi> hehe
[09:08] <foureight84> DasEi: but no way i can use ctrl+v? hehe problem is i am on my laptop and i don't ahve a middle mouse gotta click both left and right
[09:08] <Mostafa> iceroot,  looooooool goood idea
[09:09] <mawst> Anyone?
[09:09] <thune3> foureight84: shift-insert often works
[09:09] <Mostafa> MaRk-I,  could you pls tell me what to do?
[09:09] <mawst> Someone here has to use irssi or weechat in console... and know how to let them have their shortcuts
[09:09] <foureight84> thune3: yep it sorta works
[09:10] <rapsli> DasEi: ... system is still running ;)
[09:10] <rapsli> let's see if it fixed the issue
[09:10] <violinappren> mawst: what's your question?
[09:10] <foureight84> shift insert pastes into xterm but when i do it in firefox it pastes something else i had copied outside of xterm
[09:10] <DasEi> rapsli: and no errors ? well, modify on ..
[09:10] <DJones> mawst: I use irssi, what shortcuts are you looking for
[09:10] <Mostafa> MaRk-I,  hello :) where i should go in my firefox?
[09:11] <MaRk-I> Mostafa: just open firefox, then click tools, addons
[09:11] <rapsli> DasEi: Nope. everything normal... I hope there are no more of those hpet errors. they usually come after some time
[09:11] <MaRk-I> and look for "agent switcher"
[09:11] <DasEi> foureight84: I don't remmber straight, but there was a possib to install an alternate clipboard, as terml and other apps sometimes won't, not sure for now
[09:11] <MaRk-I> Mostafa: or "user agent switcher"
[09:11] <foureight84> okay thanks DasEi i'll look into that issue
[09:12] <mawst> DJones: ubuntu makes alt+arrow (l/r) switch consoles
[09:12] <foureight84> no worries... i just thought i'd try irssi on xterm but i'll probably go back to normal terminal
[09:12] <DasEi> rapsli: fine then, I had my fun today with drdy errors on a crypted fake raid.. solved
[09:12] <mawst> DJones: but that's the shortcut to switch buffers in irssi etvc
[09:12] <Mostafa> MaRk-I,  i find it
[09:12] <mawst> I want ubuntu to let go of those shortcuts so I can use them in my irc client
[09:12] <foureight84> irssi is probably the coolest irc client i have ever used
[09:12] <rapsli> DasEi: I'm starting to really love linux. Only been working for like half a year with it
[09:13] <mawst> foureight84: try weechat
[09:13] <mawst> :P
[09:13] <foureight84> mawst: you can just do xterm -e irssi
[09:13] <nisstyre65> xchat 4 lyfe
[09:13] <foureight84> mawst: create a custom launcher with that command
[09:13] <mawst> I'm using it in the real console
[09:13] <mawst> Not a terminal
[09:13] <nisstyre65> mawst: you mean a tty ?
[09:13] <mawst> right
[09:14] <mawst> tty switches with alt+right or alt+left
[09:14] <mawst> Which is the worst thing I've ever encountered in ubuntu
[09:14] <mawst> There has to be a way to change this
[09:14] <foureight84> mawst: is weechat a clone of irssi?
[09:15] <Mostafa> MaRk-I,  tnxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[09:15] <mawst> eh I thought that at first foureight84, but no.
[09:15] <Mostafa> :D
[09:15] <Mostafa> it works
[09:15] <Mostafa> :D
[09:15] <FloodBot4> Mostafa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:15] <DJones> mawst: I'm not sure about the answer to that, I'm using it through screen and either ssh or putty, alt + l/r arrow just cycles through the channels for me
[09:15] <mawst> DJones: weird.
[09:15] <foureight84> mawst: i'll give that a try
[09:15] <MaRk-I> Mostafa: yw
[09:15] <mawst> foureight84: make sure you try the buffer addon
[09:15] <oCean_> foureight84: doesn't <shift><insert> paste like middlemouse would do?
[09:15] <Mostafa> floodBot4 sorry
[09:15] <MaRk-I> one X will suffice
[09:15] <abhijit> hi
[09:15] <mawst> foureight84: I have a tight setup with a channel / server / nicklist
[09:15] <Mostafa> it was just a big tnx
[09:15] <Mostafa> :)
[09:15] <mawst> Looks like xchat in text mode
[09:16] <foureight84> oCean_: shift insert does paste but there seems to be two different clipboard that it uses depending on where you are running the command
[09:16] <oCean_> foureight84: ok
[09:16] <foureight84> oCean_: in xterm it pastes what i copied in xterm, but in other gnome apps it pastes something else
[09:17] <Mostafa> MaRk-I,  just one more small problem, i install adobe reader but i can't see it in my applications list, where i cann find , and run it
[09:17] <DasEi> Mostafa: either doubleclick a pdf or in trml adobereader Blah.pdf
[09:18] <MaRk-I> Mostafa: there should be an icon on your desktop, or just open any pdf file and adobe will popup
[09:18] <Mostafa> ok
[09:18] <MaRk-I> Mostafa: or applications/office
[09:18] <DasEi> Mostafa: in trml tab will complete filenames
[09:19] <CppIsWeird> just for a sanity check, i ran diff -rqd /dir1 /dir2, and it didnt report anything, this means that those directories are EXACTLY the same byte for byte?
[09:20] <b3wbs> guys, i am on ubuntu 10.04 and want to dual boot with windows for an application. i just went to back up my grub file (/boot/grub/menu.lst) and found that menu.lst does not exist! where do i find it these days?
[09:20] <lunavorax> Bonjour tout le monde
[09:20] <foureight84> mawst: hmm weechat isn't bad. but i'm going to stick with irssi for now. i just got the notify to work yesterday :D
[09:20] <Mostafa> :D i love this place, problem solve as easy as drinking a glass of water
[09:20] <violinappren> !grub2 | b3wbs
[09:20] <abhijit> !grub2 | b3wbs it dotn exists in grub 2
[09:20] <kriss3d> Uhmm for some reason i cant remember anything right now.. Where do i find the settings for Work space in ubuntu 10.04 ? i think ive lost it somhow
[09:21] <mawst> heheh
[09:21] <violinappren> !fr | lunavorax
[09:21] <b3wbs> thanks guys!
[09:21] <lunavorax> oops sorry
[09:22] <Mostafa> MaRk-I, , what is the best program for editing  pdf files
[09:22] <MaRk-I> Mostafa: go to synaptic and search pdf editor, choose the one you like
[09:22] <DasEi> b3wbs: grub2 , there is , lot's more config files now, /etc/default/grub the one to edit
[09:22] <DasEi> !grub2
[09:23] <mawst> Ok so loadkeys is the answer.
[09:23] <mawst> Anyone know how to pass loadkeys vars in a startup script? :D
[09:23] <lunavorax> I'm looking for a software that can send me a specific email every hours. I can't find a software that does that.
[09:24] <mawst> lunavorax: couldn't you just chron sendmail or something?
[09:25] <lunavorax> I don't know what is chron sendmail ?
[09:25] <DasEi> mawst: or just jetting , assisstant technologies, set keys/shortcuts ? they are up at next restart then
[09:26] <oCean_> !cron | lunavorax
[09:26] <DasEi> !cron | lunavorax
[09:27] <lunavorax> Hum ok that looks very complicated but I'll try to get some documentation
[09:27] <matt__> Okay, I know you guys have probably got this one a million times. I have an Nvidia 8800GT and a monitor that supports 1650x1080, but it's not an option in the Nvidia X options. Halp?
[09:27] <DasEi> lunavorax: it's not too hard, there are are cron hourly, daily, weekly, real to too hard
[09:27] <DasEi> not*
[09:27] <aaaoooaaa> DasEi: hey I tried the dd thing but its giving me an error
[09:27] <oCean_> lunavorax: it's not complicated at all. Feel free to check in here again if you can't figure it out!
[09:28] <DasEi> aaaoooaaa: read error on the cd ?
[09:28] <aaaoooaaa> DasEi: dd: opening `dev/sr0': No such file or directory
[09:29] <DasEi> aaaoooaaa: check mount for the correct devicename
[09:30] <DasEi> aaaoooaaa: and would be /dev/sr0
[09:30] <mawst> DasEi: well setting with loadkeys fixes the shortcut problem but from what I'm told they reset after rebooting
[09:30] <danb> hey i need help
[09:30] <mawst> Now I have the problem of having to run a script as sudo at boot
[09:30] <mawst> heh
[09:31] <danb> can someone help me translate run.bat to run.sh
[09:31] <oCean_> mawst: /etc/rc.local does that
[09:31] <kraut> moin
[09:31] <oCean_> danb: that depends on what is run.bat
[09:31] <danb> a rsps run.bat
[09:31] <mawst> ahaaaa
[09:31] <aaaoooaaa> DasEi: what type of filesystem should it be? I dont think IM seeing anything resembling an Audio cd ... unless instructional audio cd have some special filtype ... http://pastebin.com/ZDZChApx
[09:31] <danb> basic dos but i dont know shell
[09:32] <oCean_> danb: well, this is not really the place for that. There is lots of documentation out there.. and #bash ofcourse..
[09:32] <steveire> Has anyone run that apport-collect thing?
[09:33] <GutZuWiSSeN> hmm.. how can i reinstall eth0 ?
[09:33] <giampiero> Hello ,I downloaded a .jar file an when  tried to run it I was told it wasn't executable, so I made it executable and installed the software. Now I wonder if that could have been some sort of malware. Is there a way to find out?
[09:33] <DasEi> aaaoooaaa: seems like cd isn't mounted right know, click under places and repeat mount-command
[09:33] <steveire> Is it interactive? Do I see the info it sends back before it is sent?
[09:33] <matt__> Can anyone help out in editing my xorg-conf to allow 1680x1050?
[09:33] <Church> hmm. has anyone experienced when using vnc remotely stuck alt key? is there any way to unstuck it without restarting remote X server?
[09:33] <rsk> giampiero: you can only presume, use your wit
[09:34] <DasEi> steveire: you mean about apt's package usage ?
[09:34] <Church> (using x11vnc to attach to running X11 server and accessing via tightvnc client)
[09:34] <giampiero> rsk: what do you mean?
[09:34] <rsk> giampiero: i don't know howto explain it better... i meant what i said
[09:34] <giampiero> rsk: so how can I find out?
[09:34] <rsk> giampiero: there is no sure way to find out
[09:35] <giampiero> rsk: online scanners?
[09:35] <srthmb> giampero: How are you at RE? ;)
[09:35] <rsk> giampiero: sure that's an option
[09:35] <giampiero> srthmb: what do yo mean?
[09:35] <aaaoooaaa> DasEi: alright remounted, and just to be sure, played one of the audio files in the cd. http://pastebin.com/xkDViXAg
[09:35] <srthmb> giampiero, reverse engineering. :P
[09:36] <aaaoooaaa> DasEi: the files have little "x"'s on their icons...might this be the issue?
[09:36] <aaaoooaaa> DasEi: on the wave files
[09:36] <giampiero> srthmb: don't know what it is.
[09:36] <srthmb> giampiero, my poor attempt at a joke.
[09:36] <oCean_> giampiero: the download not being executable has nothing to do with it being malware..
[09:37] <danb> oCean
[09:37] <fungo_> how to increase the number of loop device in Ubuntu 10.04?
[09:37] <oCean_> giampiero: regarding the contents of the jar.. well, I don't know about that.
[09:37] <kriss3d> Would anyone happen to know how to add work space in ubuntu 10.04 ? i cant find it at all. Seems i need two work spaces to have thunderbird running all the time. since it cant minimize to tray
[09:37] <giampiero> oCean:thank you for the serious reply. I know it doesn't necessarily have to be, but it could. So I wanted to fid out.
[09:37] <steveire> DasEi: Someone asked me to run apport-collect bug-number and it asks me for authorization.
[09:37] <srthmb> So, can anyone help me with my resolution problem?
[09:38] <markitoxs> is there any option to MERGE two directories with rsync? or with scp?
[09:38] <steveire> But it doesn't tell me what it wants to be authorized to do. It just wants full authorization.
[09:38] <steveire> It also doesn't tell me if I will have an opportunity to see what is sent before it is sent
[09:39] <Topy> hm... ok, i now learned a lot about how the ubuntu boot process works. and, umh... my solution to the problem is... to replace /etc/init.d/gdm with a file that contains gdm followed by esac, nothing else :)
[09:39] <giampiero> oCean_:so what would you do if you were in my shoes?
[09:39] <aaaoooaaa> DasEi: yeah?no?maybe?
[09:39] <Topy> it seems the whole error checking part of /etc/init.d/gdm is somewhat broken
[09:39] <danb> what other forms of linux is good besides ubuntu like whats a more complex version and how do i get it so i can keep ubuntu
[09:40] <rsk> danb: define more complex
[09:40] <danb> more coding involved
[09:40] <rsk> danb: you can code 24/7 in regular ubuntu
[09:40] <quag7_> Hello #ubuntu!
[09:40] <Topy> danb: your question doesnt make much sense, but you are probably looking for something like fedora or gentoo :)
[09:40] <Topy> as in, "doesnt do all the work for you"
[09:40] <geirha> danb: You could always try LFS, either by installing it in a virtual machine or along side ubuntu (dual boot). Teaches you alot about linux.
[09:41] <oCean_> giampiero: I only download software from sources I trust (e.g. ubuntu repositories, and other providers if've worked with). If I don't know if I can trust a download, I would try it first in a virtualbox installation. AlsoL malware comes in many forms. Lucky us using linux: we don't really have virus issues
[09:41] <Topy> geirha: hey, i didnt know about LFS, that looks very interesting!
[09:41] <danb> well im looking for one with better performance cuz i have a slow pc and i want one that has better performance but more coding do you still think lfs is the one im looking for?
[09:41] <kriss3d> danb,  well. uhmmm linux is linux. The diffrence is pretty must mostly how it handles packages and what software goes along with it
[09:41] <rsk> danb: yes get LFS
[09:42] <danb> kk where can i dl and one know ?
[09:42] <rsk> danb: first hit on google

[09:42] <geirha> danb: LFS is linux from scratch, you make it from scratch, tailoring it to your needs.
[09:42] <srthmb>  Can anyone help me enable 1650x1080 on my desktop?
[09:42] <bullgard> Is the proper way to restart the NetworkManager '~$ service networki-manager restart' or '~$ sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart'?
[09:42] <giampiero> oCean_: this I also do, but now that the damage,'s done, how can I find out if my machine is infected?
[09:42] <kriss3d> danb,  well http://distrowatch.com/ and take your pick
[09:42] <Topy> danb: LFS looks great to learn more about linux, but if what you are looking for is a useable system that simply has lower hardware requirements maybe you should look at damn small linux or one of those... generally, look at distrowatch.com
[09:42] <danb> wait wtf thats way more coding then i know now im scared
[09:42] <geirha> danb: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
[09:43] <oCean_> danb: other linux distributions are also not the topic for this channel. Feel free to join #ubunut-offtopic for such chat
[09:43] <danb> sorry oCean
[09:43] <oCean_> danb: also mind your language in this channel please
[09:43] <danb> sorry again lol
[09:43] <danb> thanks for help tho guys

[09:44] <danb> omg how many people are going to say that lol
[09:45] <oCean_> giampiero: No clue, sorry. Don't know what it "alledgedly" damaged.
[09:46] <danb> but bye guys i do mean it thanks for your time
[09:46] <giampiero> oCean_; Ok, thanks all the same.
[09:49] <srthmb> Can anyone assist in enabling 1650x1080 on my desktop? There is no option in my nvidia x server and I'm afraid I'll have to edit my xorg-conf
[09:50] <MaRk-I> aaaoooaaa: on that link you posted search for "dutch_gecko" read what he says
[09:50] <CppIsWeird> i just recompiled a kernel, however when i try to use it i get "invalid magic number" how fix?
[09:51] <aaaoooaaa> MaRk-I: yeah i read that, but since I bought this book, doesnt that mean that I am entitled to make a copy for my own backup?
[09:51] <beanage> srthmb, did you click detect displays?
[09:51] <srthmb> beanage, Yep.
[09:51] <aaaoooaaa> MaRk-I: and is there a tool that will facilitate this?
[09:51] <MaRk-I> aaaoooaaa: are you entitled? maybe is the disc copy protected? then not
[09:51] <Terminus> hello. how can i get "d-i passwd/user-password-crypted password" to work when preseeding? i tried using "echo 'foo'|mkpasswd -s -m sha-512" to generate it but it didn't work.
[09:52] <srthmb> beanage, I tried putting the resolution under the "advanced" tab in the nvidia x server settings and it worked, now my desktop is expanded beyond the sixe ogf my monitor
[09:52] <aaaoooaaa> MaRk-I: so even if I purchased it, i still wouldnt necessarily be entitled to make a copy?
[09:52] <srthmb> size of my monitor*
[09:52] <srthmb> aaaoooaaa: I think the rule of thumb is you're allowed one back-up for personal use only.
[09:53] <aaaoooaaa> eventhough
[09:53] <aaaoooaaa> srthmb: thats what im trying to do
[09:53] <aaaoooaaa> i dont want to depend on the cd
[09:53] <beanage> srthmb, whats it say under panning:?
[09:53] <srthmb> beanage, let me take a look, one moment.
[09:53] <aaaoooaaa> its clunky and I only have a laptop, running the cd drive eats up alot of battery
[09:54] <srthmb> beanage, where would I see the panning options at? I'm sorry.
[09:54] <beanage> aaaoooaaa, so rip the cd and call it a day.. whats the problem?
[09:54] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: Ive tried and tried and tried...its NOT ripping!
[09:55] <srthmb> beanage, Oh, that's where I put it 1650x1080. that's what's under panning. I put that in manually.
[09:55] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: ive tried sound juicer, brasero, "dd"
[09:55] <rsk> aaaoooaaa: so it's probably drm'ed, be carefull with what you buy.
[09:55] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: all lemons
[09:55] <aaaoooaaa> rsk: well i didnt know my book would have drm on it
[09:55] <aaaoooaaa> rsk: btw how do I know for sure
[09:55] <rsk> aaaoooaaa: mein either, but you bought it.
[09:56] <beanage> srthmb, in nvidia x server settings ->  xserver display config ->  Display tab
[09:56] <aaaoooaaa> rsk: how do I know if a disk is DRM'ed?
[09:56] <rsk> look for the word "sony"
[09:56] <beanage> aaaoooaaa, what is it?
[09:56]  * airtonix moans seductively at rsk
[09:56] <srthmb> beanage, I input 1680x1050 manually and that didn't do anything but expand my screen haha
[09:56] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: whatdya mean?
[09:56] <beanage> aaaoooaaa, what is on the CD?
[09:57] <airtonix> rsk, to be fair that's not enough to determine DRM
[09:57]  * airtonix hides
[09:57] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: oh audio tracks, its a guitar-instructional book
[09:57] <beanage> srthmb,  what monitor do you have? brand and model?
[09:57] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: .wave files
[09:57] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, if you look on the cover you should see an isbn...
[09:58] <srthmb> One second, I have to look that up, it's an LG.
[09:58] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: cd's have isbns? i thought only books did
[09:58] <beanage> aaaoooaaa,  Have you looked for the CD under piratebay or something of the like?
[09:58] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, i'm pretty sure it's an isbn (or at least a barcode number)
[09:58] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: no...i dont see why i should...
[09:58] <arnoldas> aliio?
[09:59] <beanage> aaaoooaaa, it's all about the simplist solution.
[09:59] <srthmb> beanage, I'm pretty sure it's a LG L226WT-BF 22-inch Widescreen
[09:59] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, i remember that all audio cds have this unique code that identifies it with services like cddb
[09:59] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix:  i dont think its an isbn(i know the book has one) but there is a code on the disk
[10:00] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: hl00695068 is the number
[10:00] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, http://www.alphamusicaustin.com/product_info.php?cPath=163_164_165&products_id=14063 ?
[10:00] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: yup thats it
[10:00] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, you might be able to search with that number to determine it's drm status
[10:01] <airtonix> its*
[10:01] <beanage> aaaoooaaa, what error are you getting back from sound juicer?
[10:01]  * airtonix lols at the isbn
[10:01] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: nothing...it just closes
[10:01] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: oh wait, how do i check the log
[10:02] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, is it a dvd or cd  ?
[10:02] <phlak_user> hi
[10:02] <srthmb> beanage, any ideas? My monitor and video card support the resolution.
[10:02] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: pretty sure its a cd
[10:03] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: yeah its only 600mbs
[10:03] <hareldvd> Can't save photos from my Cannon camera anymore. Any idea?
[10:03] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, ok
[10:03] <Guest2236> hi
[10:04] <matsalted> how do i refer to a usb drive in the command line?
[10:04] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: this is the soundjuicer output: http://pastebin.com/aDwYZ5yd
[10:04] <beanage> srthmb, yeah sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[10:05] <srthmb> beanage, ddcprobe not found?
[10:05] <phlak_user> matsalted: if it is mounted, it will be in /media
[10:05] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and mpg321 yet ?
[10:05] <oCean_> matsalted: as soon as it is plugged in, you'll see something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/464431/ in 'dmesg' output
[10:06] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: let me check
[10:06] <phlak_user> matsalted: else it should be one of /dev/sdb? where ?=1,2,3 etc
[10:06] <matsalted> ok, ill try that
[10:06] <oCean_> matsalted: on cmdline use "df" to see if and where it got mounted, probably /media. In cmdline, you would "cd /media/<usbvolumename>"
[10:06] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, and can you at least play the audio cd in a media player ?
[10:07] <srthmb> beanage, did you make a typo? apparently, that command does not exist.
[10:07] <airtonix> srthmb, what command did you type ?
[10:07] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: yup works with rythmbox
[10:08] <matsalted> thanks folks!:)
[10:08] <srthmb> airtonix, sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[10:08] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, doesn't rhythmbox have a disc ripper ?
[10:08] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: yes...let me try that
[10:08] <airtonix> srthmb, tip : run ddcprobe by itself and you will be told how to install it
[10:09] <airtonix> (if it in fact exists as part of a package in the repos)
[10:09] <srthmb> airtonix, found it. Installing that package
[10:09] <phlak_user> !info ddcprobe
[10:10] <srthmb> !info xresprobe
[10:11] <srthmb> beanage, greping monitorrange didnt provide results, do you just want me to pastebin the output?
[10:11] <j0rd> anyone know how to extend the DNS timeout for NetworkManager to something larger than 45 seconds. I can't figure it out and sometimes the DNS servers i use take longer than 45 seconds
[10:11] <tuxrocks> hi..i am on lucid ...my touchpad of lappy used to work on initial install...but after update the mouse pointer freezes after login on any user...i am having acer 5738..pls help...only external mouse is working
[10:12] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: hey how do i check the default rip location in rythmbox, you know/.
[10:12] <G_G> :-*
[10:12] <tuxrocks> j0rd: its sometihing to do with resolv.ocnf
[10:12] <tuxrocks> *conf
[10:12] <srthmb> airtonix, heres the output of that, any idea how to enable 1650x1080? http://pastebin.com/TRjquKxj
[10:12] <j0rd> tuxrocks: sorry, instead of DNS i mean dhcp
[10:13] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: nevermind its home apparently, ill try it and let you know
[10:13] <tuxrocks> j0rd: try man dhclient
[10:13] <G_G> I just installed 10.04
[10:13] <G_G> IT ROCKS!
[10:13] <j0rd> tuxrocks: takes longer than 45 seconds for DHCP server to get me an IP. By that time NetworkManager times out
[10:13] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, not too sure, it's been a very long time since i ripped a cd
[10:13] <tuxrocks> j0rd: is it ethernet
[10:13] <j0rd> tuxrocks: wireless
[10:14] <srthmb> airtonix, you got any ideas? It's driving me nuts.
[10:14] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: seems to be doing something
[10:14] <airtonix> srthmb, i'm not really sure what you're having problems with or what you're trying to achieve (i assume set a resolution on the screen?)
[10:14] <j0rd> tuxrocks: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf is set to timeout 60; but that doesn't change it
[10:14] <eventyret> How can i install java on x64 ubuntu for firefox 3.6.6 ?
[10:15] <srthmb> airtonix, yes, that's exactly it. My video card and monitor are fully capable of running 1680x1050 but the options are nowhere to be found.
[10:15] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, sorry i can't be of more help... my netbook doesn't have a cdrom and my desktop computer dvd drive died last week :(
[10:15] <tuxrocks> j0rd:go to terminal...type dhclient wlan0
[10:15] <begH8ck> @eventyret: sudo aptitude search java
[10:15] <cosimo_> hi
[10:15] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i need to fix networkmanager
[10:15] <cosimo_> big problem here.... i get smoothly t the KDM, i try to login, just when the sesion spalsh thingy come up, my scren goes black, the purple,  the green then yellow and then     just a bunch of columns of difretet colors. The computer freezes and i end up hacing to reboot manually
[10:15] <begH8ck> just look for the correct package
[10:15] <airtonix> srthmb, and you've installed the nvidia binary drivers ?
[10:15] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i need to fix what ever DHCP client NetworkManager is using
[10:15] <begH8ck> then sudo aptitude install <package>
[10:15] <j0rd> tuxrocks: because I'd like to continue to use network manager
[10:15] <srthmb> airtonix, I installed the nvidia drivers from the restricted drivers manager.
[10:16] <phlak_user> j0rd: i think nm uses avahi
[10:16] <begH8ck> the jre for FF should then be installed automatically
[10:16] <tuxrocks> can you connect using n/w manager
[10:16] <j0rd> phlak_user: got a man page for that?
[10:16] <eventyret> begH8ck: sorry i never done this tried and i just get all of the things that gives the name java ?
[10:16] <airtonix> begH8ck, im not sure that searching apt requires sudo
[10:16] <begH8ck> give me a sec
[10:17] <phlak_user> j0rd: hang on, i think it just handles dns; look at man avahi-daemon
[10:17] <airtonix> srthmb, ok and when you installed them did you then restart the computer ?
[10:17] <begH8ck> searching doesn't require sudo but install should
[10:17] <j0rd> phlak_user: just did/ no mention of dhcp, which is why i asked
[10:17] <srthmb> airtonix, yeah, I'm staring at NVIDIA X Server Settings now.
[10:17] <tuxrocks> j0rd: change your dns server in resolv.conf or in router properties if any
[10:17] <tuxrocks> try google dnd 8.8.8.8
[10:17] <airtonix> srthmb, did you run it with sudo ? (gksudo nvidia-settings)
[10:17] <tuxrocks> dns
[10:18] <j0rd> tuxrocks: my DNS works fine. I'm looking to change the DHCP timeout for NetworkManager
[10:18] <j0rd> from 45 seconds to something else
[10:18] <airtonix> srthmb, not that its necessary
[10:18] <srthmb> airtonix, Yep.
[10:18] <phlak_user> j0rd: it is dhclient ( a ps -fe| grep dhclient confirms)
[10:18] <iamy_china> Hi, there. I am using ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop, and I got a powerdown problem, anyone here can help me on this please?
[10:18] <NBZ4live> Hi @ all
[10:18] <phlak_user> j0rd: controlled by this file --> /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action
[10:18] <j0rd> phlak_user: /sbin/dhclient -d -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlan0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient-882495fd-c20f-4a97-831f-729a3487e8ca-wlan0.lease -cf /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf wlan0 ..... ahh. I see it
[10:18] <airtonix> srthmb, and when your machine booted up, just before you reached the login screen did you see the fullscreen nvidia logo ?
[10:19] <j0rd> phlak_user: i see it's pointint to it's own config files. Thanks. I'll fig around
[10:19] <srthmb> airtonix, the highest res I can get is 1360x760? And I do not remember seeing one.
[10:19] <begH8ck> just open a terminal and type in "aptitude search java"
[10:19] <airtonix> srthmb, if you do not see one it means your drivers are not being used
[10:19] <srthmb> airtonix, how do I see if they're being used
[10:19] <Krenari> hey guys, i want to know what i can use to mount .bin .cue file ?
[10:19] <aarizona> hello
[10:20] <aarizona> hai
[10:20] <iamy_china> Any one help me please?
[10:20] <wildbat> is there a program that can edit/ merge pdfs into one ?
[10:20] <NBZ4live> I'm searching for Xorg.conf. I have 4 displays with 2 NVIDIA videocards. Maybe someone have a good Xorg config file with compiz support?
[10:20] <aarizona> hello iamy
[10:20] <phlak_user> iamy_china: whats the problem with power down?
[10:20] <airtonix> srthmb, first i would uninstall from "hardware drivers" the nvidia drivers and then investigate using the nvidia drivers ppa
[10:20] <j0rd> phlak_user: timeout in that file is set to 60, looks like my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf ...but when i check my syslog on new IP attempt i see "NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (wlan0) Beginning DHCP transaction (timeout in 45 seconds)"
[10:21] <airtonix> srthmb, but before you even do that , you need to ensure that your video card is supported by the drivers
[10:21] <srthmb> airtonix, nvidia drivers ppa?
[10:21] <cheater99> hi guys
[10:21] <j0rd> phlak_user: and then if i can't get an IP  in 45 seconds, it times out and I can't connect. I have to sit and retry until it's under 45 seconds
[10:21] <hareldvd> Can't save photos from my Cannon camera anymore. Any idea?
[10:21] <ross__> what's the command for changing password
[10:21] <phlak_user> j0rd: did you check whether the same value is in /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf
[10:21] <ross__> how do you change  your password in the terminal
[10:21] <tuxrocks> j0rd: have you tried dhclient.conf
[10:21] <j0rd> phlak_user: ya, it's set to 60 second
[10:21] <iamy_china> aarizona: It can't power down it self. I have to press the power button for a few seconds.
[10:21] <phlak_user> j0rd: replace wlan0 with your interface
[10:21] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i'm using dhclient.
[10:21] <cheater99> after i conduct a search in nautilus, i would like to select one of the found files and open the dir it's in, what's the best way to do that?
[10:21] <Lantizia> !nopaste
[10:21] <llutz> ross__: passwd
[10:21] <Lantizia> !paste
[10:22] <phlak_user> j0rd: its commented out on my conf; check your file. if it has a ';' then the line isnt considered
[10:22] <NBZ4live> Here is my actual xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/rauYvRFv
[10:23] <NBZ4live> It works, but very slow and without Compiz support
[10:23] <airtonix> srthmb, ppa stands for Personal Package Archive. its a service hosted on launchpad where various people and groups provide apt repositories that are kept relatively more up to date than the offical repos
[10:23] <srthmb> airtonix, Ah, thank you :)
[10:23] <sprung> oh is that what it stands for. i tried to look up what it stood for several times
[10:24] <j0rd> phlak_user: no i added it in a while ago. been trying to fix this for a long time. Commented in `timeout 60;`
[10:24] <airtonix> srthmb, i myself am using the nvidia one for my netbooks nvidia ion gfx card
[10:24] <tuxrocks> j0rd: is you interface wlan0?
[10:24] <ross__> llutz: graci
[10:24] <j0rd> tuxrocks: yes, wlan0
[10:24] <tuxrocks> goto terninal j0rd and type dhclient wlan0
[10:24] <srthmb> airtonix, I have an nvidia 8800GT, so I am kinda stumped where to look
[10:25] <tuxrocks> *terminl
[10:25] <j0rd> tuxrocks: ya, just did. works fine. so now what?
[10:25] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: I think its working, lol
[10:25] <airtonix> srthmb, my desktop has that card...
[10:25] <sprung> What is the video card manufacturer I should be getting if I were to buy a gfx card today?
[10:25] <j0rd> tuxrocks: because that doesn't solve my problem
[10:25] <sprung> obviously not ati, what?
[10:25] <beanage> srthmb, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1019288  this might be helpful.
[10:25] <airtonix> srthmb, you should not be having these problems. mine can do 1920x1680
[10:25] <tuxrocks> j0rd: can you now connect
[10:25] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: which is weird, how would I go about doing it manually? Obviously I have all the necessary plugins
[10:25] <srthmb> airtonix, Argh.
[10:26] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, not entirely sure sorry
[10:26] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i am connected. but my issue is not being able to change the NetworkManager DNS timeout from 45 seconds. this problem still exists
[10:26] <sprung> i have an old nvidia geforce 6100 and 720p video skips like crazy
[10:26] <sprung> whats the video card i should get
[10:26] <airtonix> srthmb, remove the current nvidia drivers from the 'hardware drivers' interface first, then restart and get back to me
[10:26] <beanage> aaaoooaaa, what did you end up using to rip it?
[10:26] <srthmb> airtonix, rgr.
[10:27] <tuxrocks> j0rd: so how do you know its timeout...are you not able to connect sometime
[10:27] <beanage> Any of you guys have a jailbroken iphone?
[10:27] <j0rd> tuxrocks: yes. not able to connect if I don't get an IP in 45 seconds. Which happens on this one particular wifi connection i use a couple times a week
[10:28] <psycho_oreos> !offtopic | beanage
[10:28] <phlak_user> j0rd: can you set the dhcp timeout to 45s in the command line and check if that is the cause
[10:28] <j0rd> tuxrocks: it connects about 30% of the time. but usually i have to move my comuter to a different part of the room
[10:28] <j0rd> after i get an IP it usually works for the day
[10:28] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: im in the process of ripping, via rythmbox
[10:29] <beanage> aaaoooaaa, kewl.
[10:29] <matt__> airtonix, alright, rebooted.

[10:32] <srthmb> airtonix, will do
[10:32] <tuxrocks> j0rd: may be your dns is slow...try pinging the dns for and tell time of ping
[10:33] <Macpetersen> dose the HP 2133 stille need the CPU Scale fix with Ubuntu 10.04 UNR ??
[10:35] <j0rd> tuxrocks: either way I have to use their DNS servers, i'm stuckk with it
[10:35] <j0rd> tuxrocks: so even if they're slow, i still have to use them
[10:35] <Caffeinepill> puts("Hello world ^__^");
[10:35] <Caffeinepill> :D
[10:36] <j0rd> tuxrocks: because this happens before i can get conncetion. after i get connection things work fine. Until I lose my IP, which happnes every hour (not an issue though, just what happens on this public connection)
[10:36] <srthmb> airtonix, did you have to use the ppa drivers for your card?
[10:37] <j0rd> tuxrocks: problem is DHCP timeout is hardcoded into network manager from what I can tell
[10:37] <Caffeinepill> Excuse me, but is using Lubuntu would be beneficial than using Ubuntu in someways?
[10:37] <j0rd> NetworkManager/src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-manager.c:#define NM_DHCP_TIMEOUT   45 /* DHCP timeout, in seconds */
[10:37] <Misterio> Caffeinepill: Lubuntu is faster than Ubuntu
[10:37] <Misterio> Caffeinepill: It uses lxde instead of gnome
[10:37] <airtonix> srthmb, well i dont, but my computers definitely run better when i do.
[10:38] <Caffeinepill> Misterio: Is that the only thing that differs than the original Ubuntu which makes it better to use?
[10:38] <j0rd> Misterio: server install is even faster, it uses nothing instead of gnome
[10:38] <tuxrocks> j0rd: did you get the sourcce code
[10:38] <ahren> hi i am running an older hp pavillion desktop with an amd 64 processor.  the ubuntu.com website says that i should not use the 64 bit version for daily use.  which version should i be using the 32 bit or the 64 bit thanks
[10:38] <ComputerCoderGuy> Guys, I'm using XChat on Ubuntu right now, how come my internet is so slow
[10:38] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i've read that a couple places on the net from people having the same problem and not being able to resolve it with configs
[10:38] <srthmb> airtonix, installed, rebooting, wish me luck.
[10:38] <ross__> what is mounting in linux?
[10:39] <j0rd> ComputerCoderGuy: because your ISP sucks?
[10:39] <gunsofbrixton> hi, installed flashplugin on a 64 bit system, still no sound in flash, any other stuff I might try?
[10:39] <Misterio> !mount | ross__
[10:39] <oCean_> j0rd: no need for that kind of comments
[10:39] <gunsofbrixton> *sorry flashplugin-installer I mean, following the sticky forum 3d
[10:40] <ross__> misterio: is it possible to mount an external hard drive and to have your computer boot from it?
[10:40] <j0rd> oCean_: well, if i was debugging the problem. that's would be my first guess. not my OS
[10:40] <j0rd> tuxrocks: http://osdir.com/ml/networkmanager-list/2010-01/msg00061.html
[10:40] <Caffeinepill> So, do you guys recommend me to switch to Lubuntu?
[10:41] <ahren> any help
[10:41] <Misterio> ross__: Yes, if your BIOS supports that
[10:41] <j0rd> Caffeinepill: i use ubuntu with gnome. because i have a beefy computer with enough ram to handle it. it works good enough. I prefer ubuntu because it has more eyes on the project, which should translate to less bugs and issues
[10:41] <psycho_oreos> Caffeinepill, switching over to lxde is a matter of taste, nobody can recommend tastes unless if they are biased, you should try it out and make your own decisions.. and discussions about lxde on ubuntu should be aimed at #lubuntu
[10:41] <tuxrocks> tuxrocks: may be due to some bug
[10:41] <ross__> Misterio: how do you check if the BIOS supports it or not?
[10:41] <tuxrocks> j0rd:i think 45sec is more for dns to resolve
[10:41] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i think it's for DHCP
[10:41] <Misterio> ross__: Check if it can boot from any USB or external HDD. If it can, then you'll can do it
[10:42] <tuxrocks> ya dhcp
[10:42] <tuxrocks> sry
[10:42] <j0rd> tuxrocks: ya, i agree with you. That's my problem i'm trying to resolve
[10:42] <matt__> airtonix, that did absolutely nothing?
[10:42] <Topy> is there any way to see which file gets executed if i enter a command? what i mean is: if i enter a command, it will search in the places specified by path for a matching file, can i somehow see which one it decides to start?
[10:42] <j0rd> tuxrocks: extend the timeout from something greater than 45. right now i can't
[10:42] <matt__> airtonix, how do I purge it, I may need to retry
[10:43] <tuxrocks> j0rd: try some other network manager
[10:43] <airtonix> matt__, did you check hardware drivers before rebootng ?
[10:43] <tuxrocks> j0rd: uninstall nm
[10:43] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i've used wicd in the past...but prefer nm these days
[10:43] <j0rd> but yes. i guess if this is a problem I''ll just have to stop using NM
[10:43] <matt__> airtonix, ... no.
[10:43] <j0rd> until they resolve the issue
[10:43] <Caffeinepill> @psycho_oreos: So you telling me that it's only the GUI that differs from each other?
[10:43] <tuxrocks> j0rd: you can reprogram its source
[10:43] <airtonix> tuxrocks, have you checked the config files in /etc/NetworkManager ?
[10:43] <j0rd> tuxrocks: yep, could do that too
[10:43] <Topy> ah, found it, the answer to my question is: "which (command)"
[10:44] <j0rd> airtonix: ya, but there's no documentation on them. so i dunno what to put in there
[10:44] <phlak_user> Topy: that is determined by your PATH variable. for example, if you had a command called runme in /home/xyz/bin and in /usr/bin and your PATH had /home/xyz/bin before /usr/bin, the file in /home/xyz/bin would get executed.
[10:44] <j0rd> airtonix: if you can find me docs on /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf  that would be wonderful
[10:44] <airtonix> j0rd, i think removing network-manager is a bit extreme
[10:44] <j0rd> airtonix: i think hardcoding timeouts is extreme :)
[10:44] <psycho_oreos> Caffeinepill, GUI and some of the GUI tools mostly between ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu... not sure about edubuntu and linux mint uses gnome iirc
[10:44] <matt__> airtonix, should I install it again, check the hardware tab _then_ reboot/
[10:45] <phlak_user> j0rd: do you have the same issue if you connected via cable (eth0)?
[10:45] <ross__> where can you access the source code of the kernel
[10:45] <tuxrocks> j0rd: its a matter of replace and make...
[10:45] <j0rd> phlak_user: i dunno. only use wifi here.
[10:45] <phlak_user> j0rd: i would rather tweak the wireless router settings if the latencies from router to your lappy are too large
[10:45] <tuxrocks> ross__: apt-get kernel
[10:45] <psycho_oreos> ross__, apt-get install linux-source
[10:45] <bullgard> Is the proper way to restart the NetworkManager '~$ service networki-manager restart' or '~$ sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart'?
[10:45] <phlak_user> !kernel| ross__
[10:45] <j0rd> phlak_user: i only control my laptop. not the router
[10:45] <ross__> i just want to see the source code in text format
[10:46] <ross__> how do i do that?
[10:46] <s3r3n1t7> bullgard, first imo
[10:46] <Caffeinepill> psycho_oreos: What about the tools of programming? I program in C, but the thing is that I don't know if the softwares are there when needed so does they share the same server of softwares?
[10:46] <airtonix> j0rd, this looks useful : http://live.gnome.org/DarrenAlbers/NetworkManagerFAQ
[10:46] <psycho_oreos> ross__, you have to download it before you can see it, the source code doesn't come included with the image files to save space
[10:46] <j0rd> airtonix: will DL and have a look
[10:46] <phlak_user> ross__: download the source code from kernel.org and then extract it to a directory, navigate to that directory and use your favorite editor to see the files
[10:46] <ross__> i see - that's why i couldn't open it
[10:47] <airtonix> matt__, i would check the hardware drivers interface and see if you can enable something
[10:47] <ross__> so it's apt-get install linux-source?
[10:47] <matt__> airtonix, the nvidia-settings tell me I dont' have a driver and the hardware is telling me A different driver is in use
[10:47] <bullgard> s3r3n1t7: But both did not work for me this morning. They did not restart NetworkManager.
[10:47] <s3r3n1t7> bullgard, wrong program then?
[10:47] <j0rd> airtonix: no information there on adding lines to the nm config file
[10:47] <bullgard> s3r3n1t7: What do you mean?
[10:48] <ComputerCoderGuy> Anyone know why my internet is so slow on Ubuntu?
[10:48] <s3r3n1t7> bullgard, perhaps the thing you're trying to restart isn't the name of the program you've actually restarted
[10:48] <psycho_oreos> Caffeinepill, most programs regardless of which frontend they are were based on should be compatible, say for example you prefer to use konsole instead of gnome-terminal, you can simply apt-get install it. From then on apt-get handles all the dependencies needed to get konsole working on gnome-ui, usually included downloading of kde libs
[10:48] <ahren>  what about this lubuntu would it help my computer speed? it is running very slow with firefox for some reason
[10:48] <jan-pieter> I want to move some files to my usb-stick(16GB, ntfs). Small files work perfectly but once the files get around 50MB the copying just gets stuck. Can anyone help me solve this?
[10:48] <ahren>  when i download swiftfox should i use the 32 intel version or the 64amd version thanks :) i have amd64 older pc
[10:48] <airtonix> j0rd, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Configuration
[10:48] <psycho_oreos> ross__, might need to add sudo in front of that command
[10:48] <bullgard> s3r3n1t7: At least I keyed in the commands stated.
[10:49] <ross__> i love ubuntu ^^
[10:49]  * ComputerCoderGuy too
[10:49]  * ComputerCoderGuy is the IRC masteer
[10:49]  * ComputerCoderGuy has his own IRC network :P
[10:49] <iwobbles> yeah its great eh ross
[10:49] <s3r3n1t7> ComputerCoderGuy, please don't do that here.
[10:49] <ross__> everyday i am learning more and more and i have just about completely abandoned Windows, with the exception of having to use itunes for my ipod
[10:50] <airtonix> j0rd, http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/NetworkManager
[10:50] <eviltoaster> how do i change gnome volume control to use right sound device?
[10:50] <matt__> airtonix, the nvidia-settings tell me I dont' have a driver and the hardware is telling me A different driver is in use
[10:50] <Misterio> ComputerCoderGuy: Maybe it's that the reason of your slow internet? The IRC network is eating your connection?
[10:50] <Topy> phlak_user: i know, but as said, i wanted to know which one it picks (without going through the path variable myself), which is exactly what "which" does :)
[10:50] <psycho_oreos> ross__, there's gtkpod which I use
[10:50] <ross__> what is gtkpod
[10:50] <psycho_oreos> !ipod
[10:51] <ahren> !Rockbox
[10:51] <ross__> oh smack
[10:51] <ross__> let me check it out
[10:52] <airtonix> matt__, so when you used the driver provided by the default repo, nvidia-settings let you change the resolution ?
[10:52] <ComputerCoderGuy> Guys, my internet is slow because when I open a webpage it is like "Looking up www.webpage.com" for ages
[10:52] <psycho_oreos> ComputerCoderGuy, it could be ipv6 issue, try disabling ipv6 search if you are using ipv4
[10:52] <matt__> airtonix, yes, but it only let me go up to a weird res in the 1300's
[10:52] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: maybe your DNS isnt resolving
[10:53] <airtonix> matt__, and you know your monitor allows you to do other resolutions ?
[10:53] <matt__> airtonix, I ran windows 1680x1050 no problem.
[10:53] <bullgard> eviltoaster: PulseAudioVolumeControl > (Volume Control) > Configuration > Profile: <select>. Then  PulseAudioVolumeControl > (Volume Control) > Output Devices > Port > <select>.
[10:53] <phlak_user> Topy: it will always pick the one that lies in the directory that PATH defines
[10:54] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: can you fire up a terminal and type $dig www.google.com and see how much time that takes?
[10:54] <ComputerCoderGuy> phlak, ok
[10:55] <wh1sk3yj4ck> if I want to download everything from a web folder to my computer with wget, how would that command look like?
[10:55] <opij> is there a way to have evolution notify you of a new email without having to have it open?
[10:55] <ComputerCoderGuy> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ $dig www.google.com
[10:55] <ComputerCoderGuy> www.google.com: command not found
[10:55] <FloodBot4> ComputerCoderGuy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:55] <ComputerCoderGuy> phlak_user^^^^
[10:55] <ross__> man...that is a lot of code...
[10:55] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: did you add a dig in front of that www.google.com ?
[10:56] <ComputerCoderGuy> phlak_user, yes
[10:56] <ross__> i just looked at the source code for the kernel, i'm thinking that i will want to learn how to create LFS on my own
[10:56] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: the dollar sign was to indicate your prompt; you didnt need to  type it
[10:56] <ross__> anyone has experience with LFS?
[10:56] <phlak_user> ross__: whats LFS?
[10:56] <ComputerCoderGuy> phlak_user, oh, ok
[10:56] <airtonix> matt__, ok try this on the nvidia ppa you installed : http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html
[10:57] <ross__> LINUX FROM SCRATCH
[10:57] <airtonix> matt__, then restart and confirm that you have nothing related to nvidia-settings
[10:57] <aaaoooaaa> hi guys I was wondering if Nouveau is available for karmic?
[10:57] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: and dont paste the results here... use pastebin
[10:57] <ComputerCoderGuy> Ok
[10:57] <llutz> ross__: /j ##linuxfromscratch
[10:57] <phlak_user> ross__: oh ok; like here --> http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/
[10:58] <ross__> llutz: there is no one there: (
[10:58] <llutz> ross__: its off-topic here
[10:58] <airtonix> matt__, here is the ppa thingo for your reference : ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[10:58] <bazhang> #lfs-support on irc.linuxfromscratch.org  ross__
[10:58] <ross__> ok
[10:59] <ComputerCoderGuy> phlak_user: http://pastebin.com/5wriudhy
[10:59] <opij> is there a way to have evolution notify you of a new email without having to have it open?
[10:59] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: that looks fine, your reply is in 13ms
[10:59] <phlak_user> opij: there is a notify that you can add to the system tray
[11:00] <matt__> airtonix, doing so
[11:00] <vled> opij: isn't that what the notification area is for?
[11:00] <phlak_user> opij: *notifier*
[11:00] <opij> that will notify you even when evolution is closed?
[11:00] <vled> opij: no.
[11:00] <matt__> airtonix, how do I verify my system is clean of nvidia?
[11:00] <vled> you need biff for that
[11:00] <opij> vled: how do you have it notify you even when it's closed?
[11:01] <airtonix> matt__, i think the lack of nvidia-settings program is good enough at this stage
[11:01] <abhijit> hello guys
[11:01] <phlak_user> opij: theres a gdesklet that lets you do this also without having evolution open
[11:01] <matt__> airtonix, roger
[11:01] <opij> phlak_user: i want to use as little memory as possible
[11:01] <abhijit> since last 3 days login to my account taking toooooo much time. (not the boot/restart time) any help please?
[11:01] <root> scriptwarlock:
[11:01] <phlak_user> !info mail-notification
[11:02] <matt__> airtonix, so reboot and verify?
[11:02] <airtonix> matt__, yes did the ppa-purge show that it removed the packages ?
[11:02] <tensorpudding> ohnoes, root
[11:02] <phlak_user> abhijit: even the safe mode of gnome?
[11:02] <matt__> airtonix, yes, I'm going to reboot now
[11:02] <airtonix> okies
[11:02] <abhijit> phlak_user, diddnt tried that. what is it?
[11:03] <phlak_user> abhijit: at the login window, select safe mode from list of sessions
[11:03] <tensorpudding> does the ruby1.9.1 in the center not provide a /usr/bin/ruby?
[11:03] <abhijit> phlak_user, ok  i test that. brb ok?
[11:03] <yunintegral_> is there any way to change user's password with one command? (ex: passwd username password )
[11:04] <willwork4foo> hi - anyone here know much about grub2? I'm trying to work out how to set my default boot option to something other than the top entry on the list, and it's proving to be VERY difficult! I've set various things in /etc/default/grub and I've run update-grub, and nothing I do seems to have any effect at all
[11:04] <ivedoneitnow> Hi. i have a bit of a problem... tried to get plymouth working. i entered two commands. sudo update-alternatives –config default.plymouth, chose a theme, thensudo update-initramfs -u. my pc now wont start im running from live cd.. how do i repair it like disable plymouth and remake my initramfs? help!
[11:04] <matt__> airtonix, reboot, typed nvidia-settings, got this: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[11:05] <airtonix> matt__, looks like its still installed then. try loading up synaptics and see what nvidia packages are installed
[11:05] <matt__> rgr
[11:06] <matt__> airtonix, where do I find synaptics?
[11:06] <tensorpudding> also is ruby 1.8 not available in the software center?
[11:06] <airtonix> matt__, system > admin > synaptic package manager
[11:06] <abhijit> phlak_user, i go to fialsafe mode and it booted fast. but not all panels launched
[11:07] <phlak_user> abhijit: ok so there is some applet/panel that is causing the delay. Go to System-Preferences-Startup Applications and try removing applications and test.
[11:07] <matt__> airtonix, where do I find which ones i have installed
[11:07] <airtonix> matt__, do you see that search box up top ? type nvidia in there
[11:08] <matt__> airtonix, found it
[11:08] <ivedoneitnow> Hi. i have a bit of a problem... tried to get plymouth working. i entered two commands. sudo update-alternatives –config default.plymouth, chose a theme, thensudo update-initramfs -u. my pc now wont start im running from live cd.. how do i repair it like disable plymouth and remake my initramfs? im really stuck ><
[11:08] <abhijit> phlak_user, oh. whithin last 3 days network and on more applet crashed. and it asked me whether to delte it or not but then i select dont delet. but it happends only once. I want al that aps on panel?
[11:09] <airtonix> matt__, ok in the right pane, where all the packages are list, you can click one of the coloumns to sort them by status (installed, marked for upgrade, marked for removal, not installed)
[11:09] <matt__> airtonix, nvidia-current, nvidia-settings, nvidia-common, nividia-current-modaliases, nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidiia-96-modalises are the ones installed
[11:09] <abhijit> phlak_user, ok I wll try that later on. (remoing aps) thanks for your time :)
[11:09] <phlak_user> abhijit: there must be some config in the network applet that might be causing the issue. you need to isolate using the process described above if you arent sure what is causing the issue
[11:09] <phlak_user> ok
[11:10] <matt__> airtonix, theres also a couple of xserver ones that have nvidia in the description but not the name
[11:11] <Topy> hm... if i start slim through start-stop-daemon (with the exact commandline that /etc/init.d/slim uses) it fails, with xorg saying "screens found, but none have a usable configuration", however if i start it by simply calling "/usr/bin/slim" it works perfectly. any clues to why this may be? it seems it takes a different xorg configuration if started through start-stop-daemon, but i dont see how that would make any sense at all
[11:12] <airtonix> matt__, argh i can't remember if i removed those or not, but one question : when you included that ppa i recommended, did you use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade are doing the sudo add-apt-repository-blah-blah-blah  ?
[11:12] <Topy> why would "start-stop-daemon --start --name slim --startas /usr/bin/slim" give a different result than "/usr/bin/slim"?
[11:12] <airtonix> matt__, after doing add-apt-repo *
[11:12] <Andrew9> Creative Audigy 4, no sound. There is Dummy Output only. What can i do?
[11:13] <phlak_user> Topy: one reason could be. that the user that it runs as is different in both cases
[11:13] <matt__> airtonix, How about, I kill everything nvidia, and we start from square one
[11:13] <airtonix> matt__, normally i would say yes... but i 'm not sure that you will have a gui after restarting with that change.
[11:14] <matt__> airtonix, ill keep all xserv shenaniganz but kill nvidia
[11:14] <matt__> airtonix, and if it messed up I'll call it a night and read a book
[11:14] <airtonix> matt__, k
[11:14] <airtonix> matt__, when you installed ubuntu did you put /home on a separate partition from /  ?
[11:15] <matt__> airtonix, no, but I don't have anything important
[11:15] <airtonix> matt__, (its a good thing to do so you can minimise risk of loosing your documents and settings when reinstalling)
[11:16] <matt__> airtonix, I'll be sure and do that. removing and rebooting. See you on the other side... Hopefully.
[11:16] <airtonix> :)
[11:20] <Topy44> phlak_user: that may be true, but why would a different user cause X not to find a suitable configuration? anyway, is there any way to find out as which user star-stop-daemon is trying to run slim? i would GUESS that its as root, seeing as i need to run start-stop-daemon as root for it to work
[11:23] <phlak_user> Topy44: could this help --> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-558909.html
[11:24] <cosimo_> hi, i tried fixing a boot issue (slow, black screen with blinking cursos) creating the splash file enabling framebuffer, but now im not getting the plymouth spalsh, but  apink backkground with small ubuntu banner. It is faster nwo but how can ai change that splash?
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> I tend to just remove splash and use a text only screen. :) Im old-skool
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> and remove plymouth
[11:27] <Topy44> phlak_user: actually, after hours or stumbling around, it turns out my problem is identical with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdm/+bug/585853
[11:27] <Topy44> the bug concerns both xdm and slim
[11:28] <rlotun> hi all: I'm confused about the distinction between upstart and the scripts in /etc/init.d - they don't use the same system do they? I'm wondering whether it's possible to set an /etc/init.d script to respawn if the process dies
[11:29] <matt__> airtonix, had a bit of a wifi hiccup, but I'm back, without nvidia
[11:29] <rlotun> i've used upstart before for my own daemons - I wan to modify someone else's /etc/init.d script to make it respawn (like you can do in upstart)
[11:29] <airtonix> matt__, gui desktop ?
[11:29] <matt__> airtonix, indeed.
[11:29] <cosimo_> Dr_Willis, by text you mean you see all the system  loading messages?
[11:29] <airtonix> matt__, and i assume you already confirm a lack of nvidia
[11:30] <matt__> airtonix, nvidia-settings does not exist
[11:30] <matt__> airtonix, so that means all the other packages i killed are gone too
[11:30] <cosimo_> Dr_Willis, if it could just turn black, no text, no splashes, it would be great
[11:30] <SandGorgon> what is a good tool for IPTables GUI ?
[11:30] <airtonix> matt__, see if installing that  ppa works
[11:31] <airtonix> SandGorgon, i like to use UFW
[11:31] <matt__> airtonix, sorry, can I get that link one more time?
[11:31] <airtonix> matt__, sure one sec
[11:31] <MaRk-I> !ufw
[11:31] <matt__> airtonix, wait. I got it.
[11:31] <matt__> airtonix, nevermind XD. I need it
[11:31] <ComputerCoderGuy> !ufw
[11:31] <airtonix> matt__, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html
[11:31] <matt__> airtonix, Going to try again.
[11:32] <SandGorgon> airtonix, is it GUI based ?
[11:32] <airtonix> SandGorgon, you might not know it, but UFW has support for managing internet connection sharing.
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> cosimo_:  theres the 'text' option to the kernelto disable gdm/plymount and stuff.. or remove plymouth - My notes here ---> http://pastebin.com/r2AVuCN9
[11:32] <airtonix> SandGorgon, you can use gufw to edit ufw rules (which in turn manage iptables)
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> cosimo_:  i just have the text messages, and then it loads up gdm. I dont have any fancy Ubuntu logo/animations befor i see GDM screen. the consoles are also all using the normal text mode. Not the framebuffer mode
[11:33] <matt__> airtonix, alright, installed
[11:33] <airtonix> matt__, have a look at the hardware drivers interface
[11:33] <matt__> airtonix, activated in the hardware drivers, and rebooting.
[11:34] <airtonix> :)
[11:34] <rlotun> can anyone help regarding re: /etc/init.d vs. upstart? it'd be much appreciated.
[11:34] <vled> anybody know a good ldap directory browser?
[11:34] <alex88> SandGorgon: fwbuilder is also nice, but complicate
[11:36] <matt__> airtonix, hahahaha "This driver is activated but not currently in use"
[11:36] <matt__> Jesus.
[11:37] <alex88> matt__: nvidia-xconfig
[11:37] <AmokPaule> Hello, im about to buy a new gfx card. i have an nvidia now and my new one will be an nivdia aswell, is there anything when i change the card on what i have to look for? Like reinstalling the drivers or anything?
[11:37] <airtonix> matt__, mmm ok try removing it again then see what happens if you then install dkms and use the manual installation method of the nvidia drivers
[11:37] <alex88> AmokPaule: don't think so..
[11:37] <spinaker> i have some movies in my laptop how can i burn them and play it on my dvd player?do i need to encode in a way that dvd player would read it?
[11:37] <airtonix> matt__,  rebooting after ppa-purge of course.
[11:37] <alex88> airtonix: on a fresh install i always have to do nvidia-xconfig
[11:38] <AmokPaule> alex88 thanks
[11:38] <matt__> alex88, command not found
[11:38] <alex88> dunno, if you're install different drivers
[11:38] <airtonix> alex88, its been so long since i've had to do that
[11:38] <alex88> airtonix: had to do on 10.04
[11:38] <matt__> airtonix, okay, what did you want me to do?
[11:39] <erhao> 大家好阿
[11:39] <erhao> hallo
[11:39] <ComputerCoderGuy> Hi
[11:40] <erhao> are you here？
[11:40] <abhijit> I need to access vista from my ubuntu and my ubuntu from vista. so which one is recommended? considering security and speed? teamviewr or ubuntu's default rdp?
[11:40] <ComputerCoderGuy> Ummmm, yes
[11:40] <Guest38888> ya
[11:40] <airtonix> matt__, ppa-purge, remove nvidia, reboot, install dkms, download nvidia drivers for x86 from nvidia site, chmod  +x them, ctrl + alt + f1, login, sudo service gdm stop, sh /path/to/nvidia-linux-drivers.sh
[11:40] <Guest38888> hi
[11:40] <erhao> oh who is chinese
[11:40] <MaRk-I> !cn | erhao
[11:40] <airtonix> matt__, last step is actually : sudo sh /path/to/nvidia-linux-drivers.sh
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  over lan or over the internet?
[11:41] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, Internet
[11:41] <alex88> abhijit: rdesktop
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  freenx also works very well. but is a little more complex to setup
[11:41] <Guest38888> i'm new to this fantastic system
[11:41] <matt__> airtonix, which ppa am I purging again?
[11:41] <abhijit> alex88, is there any guide how to install setup rdesktop server and client on vista?
[11:41] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, freenx? ok I wll look at it
[11:41] <airtonix> matt__, ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[11:42] <alex88> abhijit: well the server is in vista..the remote desktop protocol..just enable remote access
[11:42] <kobrien> Hi, I need to set different default Java's on a user basis. So I want all Java apps on my account to run IBM java, but another account to run Oracle Java. Advice appreciated.
[11:42] <matt__> strange...
[11:42] <abhijit> alex88, ohh ok
[11:42] <matt__> airtonix, Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: ubuntu-x-swat x-updates
[11:43] <airtonix> matt__, are you sure you used sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings
[11:44] <matt__> Pretty sure.
[11:44] <airtonix> try it again
[11:44] <phlak_user> kobrien: one way is to specify the JAVA_HOME variable per user in his .bashrc
[11:44] <alex88> airtonix: why not ubuntu normal packages?
[11:45] <ComputerCoderGuy> Guys, is it possible to use Java on windows, as I kinda wanna play runescape :P
[11:45] <red2kic> ComputerCoderGuy: Java is cross-platform.
[11:45] <ComputerCoderGuy> red2kic, so I can just download  java?
[11:45] <marteen_> A little info to pass on - setting LCK..ttyACM0 to 9999 and chmod_ing it to +s +t in /var/lock and chmoding /var/lock itself +s keeps hackers from freezing your network
[11:45] <airtonix> alex88, because for some reason they will not allow matt__ to use all available resolutions. (i have the same card also which can do 1920x1680) using 195 drivers
[11:46] <red2kic> ComputerCoderGuy: Go to Java.com on Windows and download the appropriate .exe
[11:46] <kobrien> phlak_user: I should have mentioned that I've tried that approach and the app doesn't appear to read the JAVA_HOME variable.
[11:46] <ComputerCoderGuy> red2kic, Ubuntu doesn't use .exe  + I dont use windows, and I never will again
[11:46] <airtonix> matt__, for future reference , manual driver installation file is here : http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-256.35-driver.html
[11:46] <eventyret> Finaly i got java working *sighs* 1 1/2 hour of struggle :P
[11:46] <red2kic> ComputerCoderGuy: Also, you can ask for Windows supports in ##windows
[11:47] <red2kic> "<ComputerCoderGuy> Guys, is it possible to use Java on windows, as I kinda wanna play runescape :P"
[11:47] <red2kic> ComputerCoderGuy: You mean Ubuntu? :o
[11:47] <matt__> ComputerCoderGuy = Trollololol.
[11:47] <ComputerCoderGuy> matt_, sorry, lol, I mean Ubuntu
[11:48] <red2kic> !java | ComputerCoderGuy
[11:48] <maxflax> hello, was wondering how one upgrades a jaunty to next dist via bash
[11:48] <kobrien> phlak_user: solution found...I'll hardcode the path from Oracle Java for the only app I need to tun on that.
[11:48] <matt__> airtonix, can i get the ppa install page one more time? I'm going to purge and remove everything
[11:48] <red2kic> !upgrade | maxflax
[11:48] <phlak_user> kobrien: oh ok

[11:53] <mohamed21000000> and then and rebooted, the problem is I can't install or remove any software
[11:53] <Sary> bilalakhtar !
[11:53] <mohamed21000000> please help
[11:53] <phlak_user> mohamed21000000: are you on ubuntu?
[11:53] <mohamed21000000> yes
[11:54] <mohamed21000000> ubuntu 10.04
[11:54] <phlak_user> mohamed21000000: how are you attempting to install or remove software?
[11:54] <mohamed21000000> ubuntu software center
[11:54] <pipas> i all
[11:54] <mohamed21000000> or app center
[11:54] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: What error are you getting?
[11:54] <mohamed21000000> wait
[11:54] <pipas> i got a question about ext3 tune, can i ask here?
[11:54] <phlak_user> mohamed21000000: pastebinit if its more than 1 line please
[11:55] <phlak_user> !ask | pipas
[11:55] <Sary> bilalakhtar ...
[11:55] <pipas> ok
[11:55] <bilalakhtar> Sary: query with me
[11:55] <matt____> airtonix, downloaded, how to I chmod +x it?
[11:56] <pipas> on lucid lynx, who can i see what options are in use by the ext3 filesystem
[11:56] <axel_foley> hello
[11:56] <pipas> for example: noatime
[11:56] <airtonix> matt____, assuming it's in your ~/Download folder : chmod +x ~/Download/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35.run
[11:56] <vled> pipas: mount?
[11:57] <Misterio> pipas:  Doesn't lucid use ext4?
[11:57] <pipas> i dunno :P
[11:57] <phlak_user> pipas: type mount; the options will show up in parentheses ()
[11:57] <pipas> does it?
[11:57] <mohamed21000000> Misterio: when I want to install or remove an app, a warning box pops up saying that the system failed during an installation
[11:57] <Misterio> pipas: It does, they changed in 9.10 or 9.04
[11:57] <Misterio> ah, maybe you updated from older version
[11:57] <mohamed21000000> it asks to run a command: sudo dpkg --configure -f
[11:57] <matt____> airtonix, done, next step?
[11:57] <pipas> mount gives: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[11:58] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: Try installing with "sudo apt-get programm", and tell me the error. (Use pastebin please)
[11:58] <marteen_> The Queen of England is and old bat, huh?
[11:58] <pipas> does the "noatime" and "noadirtime" options disapeared?
[11:58] <Misterio> marteen_: huh?
[11:58] <vled> pipas: so no 'noatime' for you ;-)
[11:58] <phlak_user> pipas: no, you need to specify them in /etc/fstab if you want to
[11:59] <phlak_user> !ot | marteen_
[11:59] <MaRk-I> mohamed21000000: in terminal type that command "it's telling you what to do"
[11:59] <pipas> will it show then on the mount command?
[11:59] <phlak_user> pipas: it should
[11:59] <mohamed21000000> it said invalid operation
[11:59] <airtonix> matt____, you'll need to stop the x server and then you need to run the file. so : 1) press ctrl + alt + f1 (this will switch to a fullscreen terminal screen where you need to login) 2) login 3) then run the drier installer (assuming it's in your ~/Download folder ) sudo sh ~/Download/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35.run
[11:59] <mohamed21000000> misterio: it said Invalid operation
[12:00] <pipas> is there a way to put it "on the fly" ? like with tune2fs?
[12:00] <phlak_user> pipas: you can pass it "on the fly" using the mount command
[12:00] <airtonix> matt____, stopping the x server will also log you out from the gui desktop
[12:00] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: Try aptitude instead
[12:00] <mohamed21000000> how
[12:01] <phlak_user> phlak_user: using -o switch
[12:01] <wjlroe> Has anyone tried installing gnome-shell? I just get  gnome-shell: Depends: libgjs0 but it is not going to be installed
[12:01] <Misterio> sudo aptitude install programm
[12:01] <phlak_user> pipas: using -o switch
[12:01] <mohamed21000000> it is working
[12:01] <Misterio> wjlroe: sudo apt-get install libgjs0 and check error
[12:01] <pipas> thanks....but i tried and....no go...
[12:01] <mohamed21000000> I aborted moodle check in
[12:02] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: Maybe you have and error with apt-get
[12:02] <pipas> Invalid mount option set: noatime
[12:02] <pipas> when i tried tune2fs
[12:02] <strangeseraph> Hey, can I have some help please? :)
[12:02] <mohamed21000000> I didn't now that ctrl+c cancels things in terminal
[12:02] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: Yes, it's like abort
[12:02] <phlak_user> pipas: check man mount
[12:02] <cosimo_>  My booting was slow and to fix it i created the splash file with the FRAMBUFFER=y line. updated and when i rebooted now it is faster but i get an ulgy pink splash screen. Ive tried changing it with plymouth but it doesnt owrk
[12:02] <wjlroe> Misterio: Then I get: libgjs0: Depends: xulrunner-1.9.2 (<= 1.9.2.4~) but 1.9.2.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 is to be installed
[12:03] <Misterio> wjlroe: Install it

[12:03] <kliwon> hi every 1
[12:03] <strangeseraph> I've been having a good time putting music onto my iPod Touch using rhythmbox, but I've found that randomly some songs will not play after transfer. Nothing seems to get my iPod to acknowledge these tracks but others still play. They're all mp3s
[12:03] <mohamed21000000> now, I need an ovg to any format that youtube would accept
[12:03] <mohamed21000000> converter
[12:03] <mohamed21000000> any idea
[12:03] <strangeseraph> the songs show up in the ipod but they won't play, they'll be skipped past during playback
[12:04] <wjlroe> Misterio: install what? libgjs? there appears to be dependancy problems with xulruner
[12:04] <mohamed21000000> i making screencast
[12:04] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: sudo apttitude install ffmpeg winff

[12:04] <mohamed21000000> winff, doesn't work good in my computer
[12:04] <strangeseraph> its spelled aptitude ins't it?
[12:05] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: That happened me too... it worked fine with 0.31, but with 1.*...
[12:05] <mohamed21000000> avidemux is awsome, but it can't recognize mkv or ovg

[12:06] <imaginativeone> I can't access one of my drives.  it is mounted, but I don't have permissions on it.  how do I change that?
[12:06] <foexle> i try find out any soloutions in google .... but nothing
[12:06] <matt________> airtonix, "unbable to install the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'"
[12:06] <elric> the problem is,it gives an error 'If you reload a panel object, it will automatically be added back to the panel.'

[12:07] <eventyret> !hi bora
[12:07] <kliwon> hello bora
[12:07] <Misterio> elric: You're trying to reset panels?
[12:07] <eventyret> ><
[12:07] <foexle> so here no solutions too ?
[12:07] <elric> Misterio: No m just trying to use gnomenu
[12:07] <airtonix> matt________, any other info ?
[12:08] <marteen_> Cricket's "slower-up program" - /var/run/pppd2.tdb - change all occurrences of SPEED=57600 to 768000 and IPLOCAL= to =X.X.255.255 to get USB Modeswitch to work more efficiently...
[12:08] <matt________> airtonix, do you know the path to the install-log would be?
[12:08] <elric> when i run "GnoMenu.py run-in-window"
[12:08] <bora> I installed ubuntu 10.04 on both my tabletpc and desktop both have NVIDIA graphics cards. and I was able to install the nvidia drivers on the laptop without issues, but on my pc I get 640x480
[12:08] <elric> it gives a weird error,saying permission denied
[12:08] <super> 한글
[12:08] <marteen_> Use pico or emacs for pppd2.tdb

[12:08] <Shredzp> hello
[12:08] <airtonix> matt________, it's not in the same folder as the installer ?
[12:08] <bora> the card only has DVI outputs and its connected to the monitor over HDMI so DVI-HDMI
[12:09] <super> 헬로우
[12:09] <strangeseraph> guess nobody can answer my question
[12:09] <rww> wjlroe: libgjs is currently uninstallable due to a stable release update to xulrunner recently. An update got pushed through to fix this recently, so you should be able to install gnome-shell once it propogates to your package mirror.
[12:09] <Misterio> super: Chiness, japan?
[12:09] <Shredzp> hello
[12:09] <KM1KZ3> anyone who knows how to make lvl 80 spells work in mangos wow emulator??

[12:09] <matt________> airtonix, I'll do it again, so I can get the path to the error
[12:09] <ikonia> KM1KZ3: please don't ask for that sort of support
[12:09] <Misterio> elric: I'm using KDE right now, sorry
[12:10] <matt________> airtonix,  no biggie
[12:10] <ikonia> KM1KZ3: this is ubuntu operating system and application support
[12:10] <marteen_> Hackers also use a lock link in ~/.mozilla and .pwdlock in /etc
[12:10] <bora> Could anyone help me with that issue?
[12:10] <KM1KZ3> ikonia, ok do you know where can i ask ?

[12:12] <ikonia> bora: dvi-hdmi conversion can often be a problem
[12:12] <rapsli> how do I best (and most secure) update bios?
[12:13] <ikonia> rapsli: read the bios manual (there is normally a copy online )
[12:13] <bora> so what do you suggest? using DVI2VGA?
[12:13] <red2kic> rapsli: I updated my laptop's bio using a bio disc.
[12:13] <bora> the 8800GT I have has only 2 DVI outputs
[12:13] <rapsli> ikonia: what do you mean?
[12:13] <JeffJohnson> moin
[12:13] <ikonia> bora: check (use the xorg log) what modes your monitor is advertising (is it a monitor or a TV)
[12:13] <bora> its a monitor
[12:13] <ikonia> rapsli: the motherboard's manual will explain your options to update the bios
[12:13] <JeffJohnson> kann ich mir unter gnome irgendwie die fensterpos, desktop einstellungen  für eine andwendung merken? wie?:)
[12:13] <elric> Anybody use gnomenu here?
[12:13] <ikonia> rapsli: or in this case the laptop
[12:14] <rapsli> ikonia. oky
[12:14] <bora> the monitor has no problem working with the noveau drivers
[12:14] <foexle> any solutions for the problem with eyefinity on ubuntu 10.04 ? so i see 3 monitors in catalyst but i can activate only 2 monitors
[12:14] <rapsli> red2kic: what's bio disc?
[12:14] <ikonia> bora: what graphics drives are you using
[12:14] <ikonia> drivers even
[12:14] <strangeseraph> I'm just going to delete the messed up tracks and try putting them in again. Not a lot of them anyways
[12:14] <bora> I installed the nvidia drivers using the hardware drivers installer that comes with 10.04
[12:14] <ikonia> bora: ok, sounds sensible
[12:14] <raktunak> buenas
[12:15] <red2kic> rapsli: From manuals and tutorials I found online, I created a ISO to burn on disc. Put disc in the laptop and it updated.
[12:15] <ikonia> bora: using the xorg log file, what modes is your monitor advertising ?
[12:15] <Shredzp> hello
[12:15] <ikonia> bora: using the screen resolution tool, what modes are available ?
[12:15] <ikonia> bora: can you also verify they are using the nvidia drivers ?
[12:15] <rapsli> red2kic: awesome ;) ... I think I just found sucht a thing http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#biosdisk
[12:15] <bora> let me check
[12:15] <ComputerCoderGuy> whola
[12:16] <red2kic> rapsli: Whoa. That's awesome. :)
[12:16] <matt__________> airtonix, here is the log: http://pastebin.com/ZH7XvBM8
[12:17] <Shredzp> hello anyone out here?
[12:17] <ikonia> Shredzp: 1400+ people
[12:17] <foexle> yeah and no one use eyefinity :P
[12:18] <ikonia> foexle: what ?
[12:18] <foexle> ati eyfinity
[12:18] <foexle> +e
[12:18] <ikonia> what about it ?
[12:18] <bora> http://pastebin.ca/1901690 is this the right log?
[12:18] <arun__> which is the environment variable to get the default web browser of user ?
[12:18] <matt__________> airtonix, how screwed am I? hahaha
[12:18] <TechnoPagan_tm> Anyone use flipflop.sh
[12:18] <strangeseraph> all right, weird, copying the file again doesn't fix the problem
[12:18] <foexle> i've a problem use 3 monitors with one card .... but ati and ubuntu says it works
[12:19] <ikonia> bora: looks good
[12:19] <foexle> but i see 3 monitors but i can activate only 2 monitors
[12:19] <bora> and xrandr shows 640x480 at most
[12:20] <foexle> and google says it works, and now i ask here :)
[12:20] <abhijit> !dualmonitor | foexle
[12:20] <ikonia> bora: can you confirm it's using the Nvidia drivers in the xorg conf
[12:20] <airtonix> matt__________, these underscores are breeding
[12:20] <foexle> ubottu: not dual
[12:20] <radomirus> hi
[12:20] <bora> lets see
[12:21] <airtonix> matt__________, did you install dkms before running the installer  ?
[12:21] <matt__________> airtonix, haha yeah, I'll its getting longer out of anger, haha 'll shorten it
[12:21] <matt_____> airtonix, ... I knew I was forgetting something.
[12:22] <strangeseraph> okay there are a lot more faulty tracks than I thought. I dunno how to fix this!
[12:22] <bora> http://pastebin.ca/1901691
[12:22] <matt_____> airtonix, ill install that now
[12:22] <matt_____> !info dkms
[12:23] <bora> I have manually edited the line metamodes 1920x1080 to test it but nothing changed even after a reboot or X restart
[12:23] <bora> by default that line was 640x480
[12:23] <matt_____> airtonix, It says it's already installed/
[12:23] <ikonia> bora: interesting, I'd disable twinview (unless you are using 2 monitors)
[12:23] <airtonix> matt_____, ok, did you install the kernel headers for your current kernel ?
[12:23] <bora> twinview is set to 0,
[12:23] <bora> or is there another way to disable i
[12:23] <matt_____> airtonix, How would I go about doing that?
[12:24] <ikonia> bora: have you tried the nvidia-settings tool ?
[12:24] <ikonia> metamode is normally only used for twinview
[12:25] <airtonix> matt_____, first determine the kernel version with : uname -a
[12:25] <bora> nvidia-settings tool doesnt have twinview settings there
[12:25] <ikonia> bora: try using it to configure the card
[12:25] <bora> thats what i did
[12:25] <matt_____> airtonix, 2.6.32-21-generic
[12:25] <bora> the largest screen res is 640x480
[12:25] <airtonix> matt_____, then use apt-cache search linux-header and find the one that matches your version
[12:26] <ikonia> bora: is the nvidia kernel module loaded ?
[12:26] <matt_____> airtonix, what command would the search be? or can I use synaptic?
[12:26] <airtonix> matt_____, (although from memory i think the nvidia installer ought to install these for you)
[12:26] <airtonix> matt_____, apt-cache search linux-header 2.6.32-21-generic
[12:27] <TechnoPagan_tm> was marteen_
[12:27] <matt_____> airtonix, headers are at newest version.
[12:27] <airtonix> matt_____, argh you also have to black list the nouveau driver when using the manual driver isntall method
[12:28] <Destructo> damn this channel is big
[12:28] <matt_____> airtonix, Ahhhhh, that could be it. How do I do that.
[12:29] <Destructo> hell all. i have a question . i have ubuntu on a dell mini. i have a error saying my hd is working outside its parameters .. is there to fix that ?
[12:29] <airtonix> matt_____, here try this : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[12:29] <matt_____> airtonix, ill give this a shot
[12:29] <bora> matt_____, i followed that guide
[12:30] <matt_____> bora, thanks for letting me know, now I have a tad more confidence, haha
[12:30] <airtonix> matt_____, if that doesn't work then im out of ideas, (although i will say my desktop is still running karmic)
[12:30] <bora> But it didnt work for me
[12:30] <bora> so hope it works for you
[12:31] <raktunak> ejecuto un programa en el terminal y cuando crea la lista, me desaparece por la parte de abajo y el scroll de la barra no me permite bajar, se q hay mas informacion porq cuando achico la ventana del terminal, simplemente desaparece esa informacion, podria acceder probando de ejecutar el mismo soft desde alguna otra terminal q me pueda descargar¿
[12:32] <beppo> hello
[12:32] <Destructo> yo
[12:32] <Spanglish_7776> !es | raktnak
[12:32] <odb|fidel> raktunak: i bet you got better chances in english ;)
[12:32] <beppo> can't load a module it87, modprobe says FATAL: Error inserting it87 (/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/it87.ko): No such device
[12:32] <matt_____> bora, does the guide have a typo? because --purge is coming back as an invalid operation
[12:32] <beppo> but the file exists
[12:33] <N-S[X1]> Good afternoon. Why does 'top' tell me that almost all of my RAM is used (2.7GB / 3GB), when there are almost no apps running? checking all the different views and sorts, I can't find processes that would be eating any more than 4-500 MB in total; still those 400MB is all that is listed in "free".
[12:33] <bora> it has to be purge without -- i believe
[12:33] <matt_____> bora, thanks
[12:34] <matt_____> bora, couldn't find package remove XD
[12:34] <rww> N-S[X1]: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ answers pretty well, despite the... eccentric presentation.
[12:34] <bora> actually put two --
[12:34] <bora> so its --purge
[12:35] <matt_____> bora, it's selected, how do I delete them now?
[12:35] <bora> whats selected?
[12:35] <N-S[X1]> rww: lmfao - brilliant, thank you
[12:35] <matt_____> bora, it scrolled and "slected" all the packages
[12:35] <bora> apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* is the command
[12:36] <matt_____> Ah, then I guess I did it.
[12:36] <slinker1> N-S[X1]: see http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[12:36] <matt_____> reboot and pray. Here we go :D
[12:36] <bora> ive been trying to figure this out for 8+ hours straight
[12:37] <bora> im going back to fedora
[12:37] <bora> until ubuntu works with nvidia drivers =P
[12:37] <orschiro> hello guys, in every pdf I generate with texmakerX I have a big 1 at the beginning of each document. it's definitely not coming from my template. does anyone have the same problem?
[12:37] <alex88> bora: isn't it working'
[12:37] <alex88> ?
[12:37] <Spanglish_7776> bora are you using netbook remix of ubuntu?
[12:38] <bora> no i am not
[12:38] <bora> why would i do that on a pc?
[12:38] <bora> on a desktop
[12:38] <N-S[X1]> slinker1: got it from rww, but thank you.
[12:38] <Spanglish_7776> bora I came in in the middle of the convo, I'm not psychic
[12:38] <slinker1> N-S[X1]: this aint winders :)
[12:38] <Spanglish_7776> ;)
[12:38] <bora> alex88, it works but i cant get fancy graphics to run since the noveau driver doesnt support it
[12:38] <bora> Spanglish_7776, sorry
[12:38] <alex88> bora: what you mean with fancy graphics? compiz?
[12:39] <bora> yes
[12:39] <alex88> bora: what it says?
[12:39] <noisewaterphd> hi
[12:39] <Spanglish_7776> hi noisewaterphd
[12:39] <alex88> !hi | noisewaterphd
[12:40] <bora> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766879 this guy has the same issue with a KVM
[12:40] <noisewaterphd> I installed ubuntu 10.0.4 from a cd I burned from ISO, along side windows 7
[12:40] <noisewaterphd> windows 7 is on sda, i installed ubuntu on sdc
[12:40] <alex88> bora: can't change resolution? are you sure that nvidia drivers are active?
[12:41] <bora> yes because if it wasnt nvidia-config application would give an error
[12:41] <noisewaterphd> initially onlu ubunutu would boot, no grub screen, I fixed that, and I get the grub screen, but there is no windows option
[12:41] <alex88> bora: tried nvidia-xconfig and reboot?
[12:41] <N-S[X1]> Thx & bye
[12:41] <Spanglish_7776> bora: have you rebooted after activating the nvidia drivers...
[12:41] <alex88> Spanglish_7776: you just need to restart gdm
[12:42] <bora> of course i did
[12:42] <bora> 20 times
[12:42] <bora> in the last 60 minutes
[12:42] <alex88> bora: restart or xconfig?
[12:42] <abhi_nav> noisewaterphd, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-497355.html
[12:42] <noisewaterphd> now, i don't really care about windows, ubuntu will be my main os, but I need to install a windows 7 VM for adobe software
[12:42] <bora> reboot
[12:42] <arun__> which is the most light weight crossplatform gui tool ?
[12:42] <alex88> bora: try nvidia-xconfig, i've had to do that on 10.04
[12:43] <noisewaterphd> but this is an HP machine and did not ship with a win 7 disc
[12:43] <alex88> arun__: for doing? create gui? admin something?
[12:43] <bora> alex88,
[12:43] <arun__> alex88: for a simple desktop application
[12:43] <bora> it works fine on my tablet
[12:43] <noisewaterphd> where the hell is my win 7 disc, does hp just give you an image to burn or something
[12:43] <bora> but not on my desktop
[12:43] <alex88> arun__: build something? tried qt?
[12:44] <bora> the desktop has the NVIDIA 8800 GT, the card only has DVI outputs, and the monitor is connected via DVI/HDMI
[12:44] <alex88> bora: so, tried nvidia-xconfig or not?
[12:44] <bora> yes i did
[12:44] <alex88> oh k
[12:44] <alex88> no results i think..
[12:44] <slinker1> noisewaterphd: yep its in the hp menu but its just a restore image
[12:44] <arun__> alex88: I know qt but just wanted to know if there is nething better for the job
[12:44] <tensorpudding> I don't believe that HP gives you a restore disk.
[12:44] <alex88> arun__: dunno, i've always done with that
[12:44] <Destructo> how do i erase ausb stick
[12:44] <Destructo> usb
[12:44] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: you probably have a restore partition, you may be able to get a disc from HP but you'd have to buy it probably(just the dvd not the OS)
[12:44] <alex88> bora: tried with .bin file from nvnews?
[12:45] <tensorpudding> Destructo: you can zero it with dd
[12:45] <bora> is that a modified installer?
[12:45] <arun__> alex88: for simple qt application , how much size could be expected? you should have to install qt in a system with no qt for running this application right?
[12:45] <alex88> bora: nope just the lastest installer
[12:45] <bora> I have tried the latest installer from nvidia.com
[12:45] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: anyway to build an install from that restore partition?
[12:45] <abhi_nav> when i do ls in /dev there is one entry with green color. what the green color indicat?
[12:46] <alex88> arun__: yep, you don't need nothing else on client machines, and also is cross_platform
[12:46] <slinker1> bors if you havent run that command buntu isnt going to use the nvidia driver
[12:46] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: what about the vmware vConverter, where you can convert a live OS to a vmdk, does that actually work? does virtualbox have anything similar?
[12:47] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: not that I'm aware of. it's usually some kind of image and something like ghost to restore the image back to the OS partition.
[12:47] <Andrew9> what package do i need for samba gui?
[12:47] <alex88> bora: have a look at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606 http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490
[12:47] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: yes it works, I've done it but only with windowsXP I can't tell you for Win7
[12:47] <alex88> Andrew9: server? http://gadmintools.flippedweb.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=30
[12:47] <Dr_Willis_> anyone recall seeing a guide to get a specific command to run on a console at boot time? I lost my notes. I recall some commannd that you passed the command to 'run' to that could grab a console for its own use
[12:47] <alex88> Andrew9: gadmin-samba
[12:47] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: I'm not sure if Vbox has something like that
[12:48] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: ah, see, I've tried it before with XP and had no luck at all, I was hoping maybe it worked on 7
[12:48] <bora> I tried those insturctions as well
[12:48] <Andrew9> alex88: just normal samba settings gui which should be in the administration menu
[12:48] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: ok, so I'll check out that thread you sent me to and see if I can boot in there and try to convert it
[12:48] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: thanks for the pointers
[12:48] <alex88> noisewaterphd: windows 7 has a thing like that, to create a image from disk, to use on virtual pc.. but you can also use on virtualbox and wmware
[12:49] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: no prob
[12:49] <alex88> Andrew9: samba settings? like what?
[12:49] <noisewaterphd> alex88: win 7 has a built in tool? do you happen to have a link, or know the name?
[12:49] <bugaloo> hi all! does anybody know how can I mark a package to never upgrade?
[12:49] <Andrew9> alex88: like i go to the settings and see settings
[12:50] <Andrew9> alex88: i need to set password and logs
[12:50] <jrib> bugaloo: why?
[12:50] <eskofd> Whenever I try to run an OpenGL program on ubuntu 10.04 after about 20 seconds I get this: drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream. I've got ATI RS480 Graphics card. Anyone that could help me, please =)
[12:50] <tensorpudding> gnome-terminal doesn't seem to want to read my .bash_profile automatically
[12:50] <jrib> tensorpudding: why would it?
[12:50] <bugaloo> jrib, I need to login in a Netware network in my work, and it requires a specific version of ncpfs
[12:51] <jrib> !pinning | bugaloo
[12:51] <Andrew9> alex88: there must be a package which adds Samba Settings to administration menu
[12:51] <tensorpudding> jrib: because that would satisfy my expectations! :)
[12:51] <jacek_> hi all
[12:51] <tensorpudding> but seriously, why wouldn't it?
[12:51] <Zelozelos> is it possible to make it to where 2 single clicks on a filename will allow renaming?
[12:51] <Spanglish_7776> Andrew9: maybe SWAT will work?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis_> tensorpudding:  thats read by login shells  i think. such as 'xterm -ls'   nomrla shells dont read that one
[12:51] <alex88> noisewaterphd: looking at
[12:51] <jrib> tensorpudding: what do you want to do?
[12:51] <mukul> #ubuntu-sugarteam
[12:51] <alex88> Andrew9: sorry haven't seen, btw just try that gadmin package
[12:52] <tensorpudding> I want to load my highly customized bash configuration
[12:52] <Andrew9> Spanglish_7776: no it won't
[12:52] <Dr_Willis_> tensorpudding:  also  the system i think thesed days use .profile   instead of .bash_profile
[12:52] <jrib> tensorpudding: put it in the right file?  I still don't know what you are doing but ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc depending on that
[12:52] <tensorpudding> That's not usual where I'm from.
[12:52] <red2kic> "# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login exists.""
[12:53] <Dr_Willis_> tensorpudding:  check the .profile file comnments
[12:53] <bugaloo> jrib, perfect... I did look for it on synaptic but I just didn't see it... sorry and thank you
[12:53] <forkup> tensorpudding: it can use .bashrc
[12:53] <tensorpudding> I'm new to Ubuntu, mostly. Haven't used it since 7.10
[12:53] <tensorpudding> I have .bashrc also
[12:53] <tensorpudding> It's not loading that.
[12:53] <forkup> 10.04 does on my system
[12:53] <Dr_Willis_> normally the last line of the .bash_profile or .profile loads the .bashrc
[12:53] <jrib> tensorpudding: are you using bash...
[12:53] <tensorpudding> Yes.
[12:54] <jrib> tensorpudding: how are you determining your ~/.bashrc isn't being read?
[12:54] <Nuka-Cola> I just installed "Gnome Do", added/removed various apps on the "Docky" toolbar, and now Ubuntu freezes up when I reboot. Two windows appear at startup; the "Gnome Do" search window, and a window for "Unlock Login Keyring". I've never seen this keyring, and it won't allow me to enter a password. I can't click or type in Ubuntu, but the clock is still ticking so it's not truly frozen.
[12:54] <tensorpudding> It sets $PS1, and a ton of aliases and environment variables.
[12:54] <tensorpudding> When I start gnome-terminal, none of those are set.
[12:55] <Dr_Willis_> tensorpudding:  put an echo command in each file.. printing that its running.. see whats going on.. also try just 'xterm' to see if its doing it in there.
[12:55] <tensorpudding> actually hmm, nevermind
[12:55] <tensorpudding> it is loading .bashrc
[12:55] <red2kic> Nuka-Cola: Unlock Login Keyring occurs when you enable AutoLogin. Also, you can change Gnome-Do Preference to start silently.
[12:55] <Dr_Willis_> .bash_profile is read ONLY by login shells.
[12:55] <tensorpudding> Best configure gnome-terminal to use login shells then
[12:55] <Dr_Willis_> or optmize your scripts some more.
[12:55] <jrib> tensorpudding: no, best to use the right files for what you want to do :)
[12:55] <red2kic> tensorpudding: You installed using Ubuntu Desktop CD?
[12:56] <alex88> noisewaterphd: http://www.winimage.com/ this has the tool, shareware but for 1 time use can be useful
[12:56] <Dr_Willis_> some things only need to get set once at login. that the differance
[12:57] <bora> im done
[12:57] <tensorpudding> I have configured my scripts to work well on my other systems.
[12:57] <jrib> tensorpudding: if you read « man bash », you'll see ~/.bash_profile will only be read for login shells
[12:58] <bora> gotta find my fedora cd
[12:58] <noisewaterphd> alex88: thanks
[12:58] <ivedoneitnow> hi. somehow i managed to screw up my kernel and couldnt boot up, and had to revert to a previos version to boot up with. is there a way to re-install the kernel that i screwed up so it works properly again? thanks.
[12:58] <tensorpudding> I actually knew that, but I was expecting the terminal emulator to start up a login shell.
[12:58] <rapsli> has somebody experience with this: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/firmware#Flashing_the_firmware
[12:58] <jrib> tensorpudding: oh, ok, but it doesn't
[12:59] <figure002> ivedoneitnow: you could use your package manager for that
[12:59] <tensorpudding> It is the default behavior in urxvt, which is what I probably will end up using.
[12:59] <tensorpudding> I forgot that I hate gnome-terminal's usurping of some keybindings
[12:59] <arun__> []what do we call the rightmost portion of the top bar which shows an icon of running software(ex. vlc media player) ? :) :)
[12:59] <arun__> in ubuntu dektop
[13:00] <Morten_> systray ?
[13:00] <alex88> arun__: system notifications?
[13:00] <slinker1> notification area?
[13:00] <jrib> tensorpudding: yeah, I disable all that stuff in prefernecs
[13:00] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: recovery mode not works? tried live cd wit chroot?
[13:00] <tensorpudding> I do like the transparency of gnome-terminal though
[13:00] <jrib> tensorpudding: meh
[13:01] <Dr_Willis_> useless eye candy in place of useable features. ;)
[13:01] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: recovery mode did not work. tried live cd and chroot to filesystem but then what
[13:02] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: mmhh..install a kernel with dpkg
[13:02] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: put deb files of a kernel ad run install..but i'm not sure it will work
[13:02] <ivedoneitnow> isnt there an apt-get command or something? ><
[13:03] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: well, reinstall a kernel, yes
[13:03] <jamesanelay> Hi, Im running ubuntu , postfix and dovecot. and I cant recive e-mails allthought I can sen them. is there a part of the postfix config that will stop or allow smtp conntections from external ips??
[13:03] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: apt-get install linux-image-generic maybe
[13:03] <arun__> alex88: Morten_ slinker1 : I think it's systray which has all the applications running in background !!
[13:03] <tensorpudding> Oy, I am a tedious fool, I was depending on an .Xdefaults for the login shell behavior
[13:04] <alex88> arun__: it's a panel tool, go to add a panel tool and read it's name.. sorry but i've in italian and i don't know how is writed in english
[13:04] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: heh just tried it no go
[13:04] <jrib> tensorpudding: yeah, I didn't think urxvt started login shells by default
[13:04] <andy_> what do i have to do if my systm partition is nearly full, but i ahve anotuher partition wit enoguh space. Can i link them somehwo so that my system begin writing to that big partition?
[13:05] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: what's the problem on boot?
[13:05] <alex88> andy_: the other is empty?
[13:05] <jrib> andy_: well you can put a big folder just on that partition, like /home maybe?
[13:05] <llutz> jamesanelay: you should ask at #postfix but you'd better read this before http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
[13:05] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: black screen and no disc activity
[13:05] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: have you reinstalled windows and re-set grub?
[13:05] <jamesanelay> thankss llutz
[13:05] <arun__> alex88: is it notification area?? I cant see anything better in Add To Panel
[13:05] <andy_> i can do that, just move the home folder to that partition?
[13:06] <glickhole> howdy
[13:06] <alex88> arun__: are the same icons displayed?
[13:06] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: whats windows?
[13:07] <andy_> alex88, yes, its free space
[13:07] <jrib> !seperatehome | andy_
[13:07] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: ok, not that... cause i've had the same problem after windows reinstall..
[13:07] <glickhole> hey how is the new ubuntu remix? i have a little asus eeepc 2 gigs of ram, 250gig hard drive, etc and im wondering if i should run lucid full on it or nbr?
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[13:07] <jrib> !separatehome | andy_
[13:07] <alex88> andy_: empty space? not same icons? (vlc etc)
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: you can run either, thats more ram than i have in al my systems
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: what is the cpu / video card
[13:08] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: actually it happened sometime while i was playing with plymouth
[13:08] <Andrew9> whats the point of samba user and password if it doesn't work?
[13:08] <glickhole> ActionParsnip, is the nbr a little friendlier on netbook displays
[13:08] <glickhole> ActionParsnip, some intel video card cpu is a dual core atom
[13:08] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: oh lol, right...tried to remove it?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: works here just dandy, password requests are gooood
[13:09] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: no tried to use the themes
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: should be great then, if you like the remix gui then go for it :)
[13:09] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: it never woked for me
[13:09] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: i've asked if you've tried to remove it to fix the problem..
[13:09] <glickhole> i havent tried the remix gui thats what im asking, how it was
[13:09] <Spanglish_7776> Andrew9: did you do create a samba user with smbpasswd?
[13:09] <Andrew9> Spanglish_7776: i did
[13:09] <escaped> hello, i am on osx 10.6, but they have a bash shell with utf8. In the mac chan i could not get any help. Probobly some linux user has an idea.
[13:09] <escaped> i've got some files from an windows user and wanted to batch convert them to utf8. But i have a Problem with the filename encoding. (example: Apr%8As-Ski.jpg).
[13:09] <escaped> I tried using convmv. but with "convmv —unescape —notest —replace" the file disapears. "convmv -f iso-8859-15 -t utf-8" does nothing.
[13:09] <glickhole> or is rather
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER    should create the password for you
[13:09] <alex88> glickhole: nothing special..just for low-res pc..
[13:09] <ivedoneitnow> alex88:no hehe
[13:10] <figure002> ivedoneitnow: you could try to reinstall grub2.. that's should at least get rid of the black screen on startup
[13:10] <KM1KZ3> !help
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: mainly just a lot of vertical tweaks to suit smaller screens
[13:10] <glickhole> alex88, is it a pain in the whahoo to navigate
[13:10] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: try that..on 10.04 alpha it fixed some problems..maybe the same that you have now..
[13:10] <glickhole> hmm
[13:10] <alex88> glickhole: no, it's nothing hard..just useless
[13:10] <glickhole> usless?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> ivedoneitnow: figure002: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[13:10] <glickhole> whys it useless
[13:11] <alex88> glickhole: if you don't have small screen pc.yes
[13:11] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: and how do i use that password?
[13:11] <alex88> glickhole: netbook remix gui
[13:11] <Destructo> if im using gparted what should ipick when erasin usb stick.. msdos, loop, aix, amiga , bsd, etc ..
[13:11] <glickhole> i do have a small screen
[13:11] <glickhole> im on a netbook
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: well the username is the user who ran the command. the password is the one you set
[13:11] <alex88> glickhole: oh, so it can be useful for most used program access
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: I even installed it on my dad's desktop because its nice and simple
[13:12] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: and what is th euse for this password?
[13:12] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: use*
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: to access the samba shares
[13:12] <glickhole> hmm
[13:12] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: but it doesn't work!
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: watch some vids on youtube of it, see what you recon
[13:12] <ivedoneitnow> ActionParsnip: ive been in this channel a lot and your alwaly fixin everyones problems!! oh god help me action!!! hehe
[13:12] <red2kic> Andrew9: You create it -- Use the same one on your Ubuntu machine if you want to keep it simple. It is nice to be able to supply your friend a SAMBA access to your machine using a temporary password without revealing your linux's password. :)
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: is that how you enabled the password?
[13:13] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: i tried gadmin-samba
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> ivedoneitnow: the guide will fix your black screen at boot dude
[13:13] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: and did what you suggested
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: use the command I gave, i've not used gadmin as I understand the command line
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: you may have to restart samba to make it appl
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> y
[13:14] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: sudo samba restart
[13:14] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: no effect
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: thought it was sudo service samba restart (if your command shows the service restarting then its all good)
[13:15] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: samba: unrecognized service
[13:15] <ivedoneitnow> ActionParsnip: i did two comands and now i get black screen http://fpaste.org/zmZ3/ attempting to get a nice theme working for plymouth
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: ok well just do what it takes to restart the service and its good, could even estart to cover all bases
[13:16] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: restarting
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> ivedoneitnow: sounds like your video driver is proprietary, use this to make the boot use the framebuffer driver: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[13:18] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: now i can't even access it
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> ivedoneitnow: its the list of commands above the embedded video
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: are you asked for a password?
[13:19] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: no access to ip
[13:19] <philinux> Dban - never used it before. Is quick erase good enough for passing pc on to third party.
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: then thats a networking issue, not samba. Can you ping the IP?
[13:20] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: i can
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: then check the service is running
[13:20] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: why won't it be running?
[13:20] <bugaloo> Andrew9, see at /etc/init.d if there is the samba file
[13:20] <bugaloo> Andrew9, sometimes it's with name  "smb"
[13:20] <Guest33065> hi
[13:20] <topitobot> hi
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: no idea, if you arent getting the connection then possibly the service isnt running
[13:21] <topitobot> i need to install ubuntu in a computer that has windows
[13:21] <topitobot> do i need to format first?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: or there is a firewall blocking stuff
[13:21] <jrib> topitobot: no, installer can do that
[13:21] <topitobot> whats is the formatting useful for?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: not strictly, you can resize the partition to make room for a dual boot
[13:21] <Zaraphrax> topitobot: No but you'll neeed to partition the disk
[13:21] <bugaloo> Andrew9, also, try the port 139 and 445... you can do that using telnet (telnet ip port)... see if the port is open
[13:22] <Andrew9> bugaloo: samba4 and smbd is what's there
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: dleting all the data on the current drive/partition(s)
[13:22] <jrib> topitobot: huh?
[13:22] <topitobot> why partition ? i dont want to have windows
[13:22] <Zelozelos> how do i change the pointer for the desktop AND everything else, i cant seem to get rid of the simple lookin pointer
[13:22] <topitobot> just ubuntu
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: on the client run: sudo smbtree
[13:22] <bugaloo> Andrew9, you can try to start with "service smb start" then, I guess
[13:22] <bugaloo> ops
[13:22] <bugaloo> service smbd start
[13:22] <jrib> topitobot: just put in the disk and follow the instructions, you'll be fine
[13:22] <Andrew9> bugaloo: already running
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: then you will want to format, the installer has an option to use the entire disk. Make sure your backups of any data are recent before starting as it will destroy all data
[13:23] <bugaloo> hm
[13:23] <bugaloo> Andrew9, do you have any firewall rule on the samba box?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> Zelozelos: right click desktop -> change background -> Theme tab -> Customise -> Pointer tab
[13:24] <topitobot> why do i need to format ActionParsnip , i just have windows in my computer , formatting is not for deleting partitions?
[13:24] <manas> how do i update software catalog
[13:24] <Andrew9> bugaloo: i installed ubuntu 15 min ago, installed nvidia drivers and samba4 only
[13:25] <Andrew9> bugaloo: if firewall is enabled by default i didn't touch it
[13:25] <bugaloo> Andrew9, try disable any firewall rule anyway, maybe you have some by default
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: no, formatting will erase the data, Ubuntu cannot be installd to windows partitions so it will need to be formatted to ext2/ext3/ext4 etc so that Ubuntu will work.
[13:25] <bugaloo> try this: iptables -F
[13:25] <theadmin> Is there a key combo to minimize all windows?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> manas: sudo apt-get update
[13:25] <yunintegral_> how can i express "#" in regular expression? \# <-- it doesn't work
[13:25] <theadmin> (in GNOME)
[13:25] <Zelozelos> ActionParsnip, nope, its only diff in apps, (well some parts of apps) or when i resize a window, the normal pointer is still the same dmz white one, even if i choose a diff default pointer like the dmz black,,,,still the white one on the desktop
[13:25] <jacek_> hi all
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: why samba4 ?
[13:26] <jrib> yunintegral_: in what context?
[13:26] <manas> ive done that
[13:26] <topitobot> ActionParsnip the installer of ubuntu will do that formatting?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> yunintegral_: /#    to escape it
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> manas: then your systems knowledge of what is on your repositorys is up to date
[13:26] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: i was installing everything samba to get setting gui, now i'm guessing i should uninstall it
[13:26] <manas> im trying to install lightening for thunderbird through software center.
[13:26] <finemann> hi, i have many books in the form of pdf. is there any software that i can use to manage them?
[13:27] <rsk> finemann: yes
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: i would, just install samba and it will be fine
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: and remove samba4
[13:27] <topitobot> ActionParsnip the installer of ubuntu will do that formatting? or i need to do it appart?
[13:27] <bugaloo> Andrew9, ActionParsnip is right... try to uninstall samba4
[13:28] <finemann> rsk: which is?
[13:28] <rsk> finemann: whatever you prefer
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: the install disk will do all tat for you :). Read the screen during install. One screen will be the formatting screen, just tell the installer to use the entire disk and it will all be handled for you (I believe it's the defaul)
[13:28] <topitobot> ok
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: just read everything and you can't go wrong
[13:29] <johnbart> hello
[13:30] <johnbart> Does anybody know how to fix the problem where Evolution wont expunge email from trash?
[13:30] <bugaloo> Andrew9, try this: "smbclient -I 127.0.0.1 -L \\127.0.0.1" (blank password should work)... see if you get any answer
[13:30] <bugaloo> Andrew9, do that from your samba machine
[13:30] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: samba4 removed
[13:30] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: still no access to the ip
[13:31] <ihancioglu> hi I have shared a /tmp folder and symbolic link 1 folder from my home , I could not see that folder from windows , I fould something about "follow symlinks=yes" did not help to me
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: so if you run: dpkg -l | grep samba     you only have samba installed and not samba4
[13:32] <Andrew9> bugaloo: it outs bunch of generic info
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> ihancioglu: you will need to edit that in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[13:32] <Jackolantern> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afu-sUAykKs
[13:33] <philinux> Dban - never used it before. Is quick erase good enough for passing pc on to third party.
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: can you use http://www.pastie.org to give the output please
[13:33] <ihancioglu> ActionParsnip ; Yes I have added that line to smb.conf and restart samba does not help to me
[13:33] <needhelp> My Ubuntu partition is using a lot of disk space, what are some of the culprits of heavy disk space usage?
[13:33] <rsk> needhelp: big files
[13:33] <stanley_robertso> needhelp, check the /usr/src .. there might be a zip file.. which you can remove it.. if you have a backup of it
[13:33] <BluesKaj> what about nautilus /places/add network folder wich uses the smbclient (samba back end)
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> ihancioglu: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/How_to_setup_Samba_to_follow_symbolic_links%3F
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> needhelp: sudo apt-get clean   is a good place to start, also uninstalling old kernels can save ~120Mb per kernel
[13:34] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: paste.ubuntu.com/464514
[13:34] <saganbyte> I ran the less /proc/cpuinfo command and got th info i needed... i can close the terminal window to exit.. but i wanted to know how i could exit from it without closing the window...
[13:35] <needhelp> stanley_robertso: There isn't anything there.
[13:36] <bugaloo_> oops
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: ok so the folders are listed for the localhost which is good
[13:36] <needhelp> ActionParsnip: I've already done that. :)
[13:36] <bugaloo> Andrew9, did you try telnet on samba ports
[13:36] <bugaloo> ?
[13:36] <Andrew9> bugaloo: no
[13:36] <stanley_robertso> needhelp, then you have to search for big files in the system and remove if not required
[13:36] <stanley_robertso> i hope you already verified the /tmp directory
[13:36] <bugaloo> Andrew9, try it from your samba client
[13:36] <saganbyte> okay, just 'q'
[13:36] <saganbyte> :P
[13:36] <bugaloo> Andrew9, telnet samba-ip 139
[13:36] <bugaloo> Andrew9, and telnet samba-ip 445
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> needhelp: then install bleachbit and clean stuff off with that (watch your browser settings or it'll clean your passwords up, and avoid the options stating they will take a long time)
[13:37] <needhelp> stanley_robertso: I'm doing that now, but it takes a long time to scan my whole filesystem. :(
[13:37] <bugaloo> Andrew9, see if you get response
[13:37] <wiencon> xD
[13:37] <Andrew9> bugaloo: name or service not known
[13:37] <abhijain> facing problem on scorll..display is blinking ....
[13:37] <stanley_robertso> no.. better .. go with /tmp and then /usr/src and then /usr/lib .. in thta order
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> needhelp: also run: dpkg -l | less    and remove stuff you don't use. If you only use writer in OpenOffice then consider removing it (300Mb) and installing abiword (12mb)
[13:37] <stanley_robertso> OR.. kick off whole scan .. and  go for a tea
[13:38] <stanley_robertso> :)
[13:38] <wiencon> hello i have problem with abobe flash player ;/
[13:38] <wiencon> can anybody help me?

[13:38] <stanley_robertso> wiencon, shoot your direct question.. somebody might help
[13:38] <noisewaterphd> wiencon: what is the issue?
[13:38] <wiencon> i cant instal adobe flash player
[13:39] <abhijit> !details | abhijain

[13:39] <wiencon> i have 64 bit system
[13:39] <Andrew9> bugaloo: 445 : connection refused and 139 : connection timed out
[13:39] <stanley_robertso> what error you are getting wiencon ?
[13:39] <wiencon> and i cant find flash player for that system
[13:39] <abhijit> wiencon, flsh 64 bit is not available
[13:39] <noisewaterphd> adobe killed 64bit flash for linux for now
[13:39] <abhijit> wiencon, you can innstall regular flash in 64 bit ubuntu
[13:39] <johnbart> Is there a channel for Evolution email?
[13:40] <wiencon> so what i should do?
[13:40] <noisewaterphd> there is a 10.0.x 64 bit binary kicking around online that works though
[13:40] <bugaloo> Andrew9, ok... so samba works on localhost but not from a remote host
[13:40] <wiencon> i cant do anythink
[13:40] <stanley_robertso> wiencon .. as abhijain said.. install the flash player [ 32 bit ] under 64 bit machine
[13:40] <wiencon> i can even watch video on youtube
[13:40] <bugaloo> Andrew9, maybe you have any process blocking you
[13:40] <abhijit> stanley_robertso, :D abhijain its me abhijit
[13:40] <bugaloo> Andrew9, did you try "iptables -F" on samba machine?
[13:40] <willemb> Hi.  My empathy accounts are not connected, and trying to re-add them does not work, as the accounts screen never comes up.  any advice?
[13:41] <abhijit> wiencon, you can ? or you cannot?
[13:41] <stanley_robertso> ohh sorry .. abhijit
[13:41] <abhijit> stanley_robertso, :D
[13:41] <masteris> can anynone explain to me why my NM-APPLET saying that NetworkManager is not running?
[13:41] <wiencon> but is saying that architekture is bad "i386"
[13:41] <Gordon_G> Hi! does anyone know how to fix the splash screen resolution?
[13:42] <romildo> In a Makefile, what would be an implicit rule to make a binary "prog" from an icon source program "prog.icn" using the command "icont $<"?
[13:42] <Andrew9> bugaloo: i tried iptables -F no result
[13:43] <bugaloo> Andrew9, still not working?
[13:43] <abhijit> wiencon, see if you can get any info from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[13:43] <bugaloo> you should get no answer for the iptables command, but try again samba
[13:44] <bugaloo> if not, i have no idea :)
[13:44] <wiencon> abhijit thanks
[13:44] <abhijit> wiencon, welcome :)
[13:45] <noisewaterphd> wiencon: i have a working 64 bit binary if you want it
[13:45] <abhijain> abhijit: flash for 32 bit
[13:45] <bugaloo> Andrew9, do you have gnome installed on the same machine you have samba?
[13:45] <noisewaterphd> you just unpack it to /usr/lib/firefox/wjatever/whatever
[13:46] <abhijit> abhijain, thats was question or statement? I dont understand it
[13:46] <johnbart> Does anybody use Evolution? Should I switch to Thunderbird?
[13:46] <Andrew9> bugaloo: windows sharing is nonsense and linux is even worse..
[13:46] <wiencon> noisewaterphd ok a will be grateful:)
[13:46] <abhijit> johnbart, I use evolutin
[13:46] <willemb> johnbart:  I use Evolution
[13:46] <Andrew9> bugaloo: its ubuntu so i guess it has gnome installed
[13:46] <willemb> it works for me for everthing except google calendar publishing
[13:46] <johnbart> Have any of you encountered the trash problem?
[13:46] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: i used to prefer thunderbird over eveolution, but over the last few years that has reversed, evolution is very nice
[13:47] <blain> johnbart you should definitly switch to thunderbird
[13:47] <noisewaterphd> but, they both are fine
[13:47] <johnbart> I need to be able to empty the trash...
[13:47] <bugaloo> Andrew9, I really can't imagine what is wrong for you... I've installed ubuntu here and it always works with samba by default
[13:47] <stanley_robertso> guys.. one question.. i downloaded ubuntu 10 series [ .iso DVD file ] .. but when trying to bring it up in VM .. just a blank screen shows up
[13:47] <IdleOne> abhijain: did you not tell stanley_robertso that you are abhijit ?
[13:47] <Andrew9> bugaloo: it worked by default
[13:48] <abhijit> IdleOne, again the same issue. he is not me.
[13:48] <Andrew9> bugaloo: it broke after i tried to set password
[13:48] <stanley_robertso> any additional config we need to do ...unlike other flavours

[13:50] <stanley_robertso> iam able to install/use ubuntu 9 .. but not 10 series
[13:50] <noisewaterphd> i'd say ditch the dvd, and just install from the iso and see what happens
[13:50] <gartral> ok, rhat works
[13:50] <bugaloo> gartral, maybe you have a keyboard problem :P
[13:50] <stanley_robertso> yes.. i booted the virtual box .. using the .iso itself
[13:50] <stanley_robertso> just a black screen comes up
[13:50] <stanley_robertso> :(
[13:50] <CedricAthelstone> gartral: clean your keeyboard! :-)
[13:50] <noisewaterphd> i see

[13:51] <gartral> beyond cleanong
[13:51] <dapper> does anyone know of a good resource for installing/configuring openldap on lucid?  i tried to follow http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html, but it seems to have quirks i don't know how to resolve
[13:51] <noisewaterphd> i hate to send you away, but you'd have better luck on the virtualbox channel
[13:51] <crashev> which package contains mkinitrd tool ?
[13:51] <stanley_robertso> noisewaterphd,  i hope you are referring me :)
[13:51] <newbie85> hey
[13:51] <abhijit> abhijain, I am completely confused. You just started from the statement that something like ubunt 32 bit. I cant get nothng frm that
[13:51] <noisewaterphd> somebody over there will likely have run into the issue
[13:52] <noisewaterphd> stanley_robertso: ya
[13:52] <newbie85> i'm trying to install the ubuntu netbook version 10.04 on my netbook, can i install it side by side by my windows xp?

[13:52] <soicon> hi guys, I can not send/recieve files through yahoo in pidgin any more. Any ideas why ?
[13:52] <scooter12> y
[13:52] <blain> you can only use one at one time though
[13:52] <noisewaterphd> stanley_robertso: I'm not saying that nobody here could help, just that that sounds like a virtual box problem, not an ubuntu problem, so those guys might be of better assistance
[13:53] <Andrew9> bugaloo: it works. how do i set password?
[13:53] <blain> passwd ?
[13:53] <bugaloo> Andrew9, smbpasswd --help

[13:54] <Gambino> I just installed Ubuntu side by side with WinXP and Googled enough to find a program that starts with a 'W' (Sorry, I'm trying to refind). It partitions and does everything for you.

[13:54] <gartral> is there a way to blacklist the built-in keyboard?
[13:54] <wiencon> abhijit it dosen't working ;/

[13:54] <blain> SWAT? :O
[13:54] <Gambino> Oh... Still learning xchat.
[13:54] <newbie85> how, cause when i get on the prepare disk space menu, i have 3 options, the first is to erase and use the entire disk, second is use the largest continuous free space and the third is specify partitions manually
[13:54] <bugaloo> lol
[13:55] <wiencon> abhijit i do like it was written in this toturial

[13:55] <newbie85> 2nd choice just shows my flash disk
[13:55] <abhijit> wiencon, hmm
[13:55] <newbie85> i mean the usb drive
[13:55] <blain> newbie85 you can try sizing down the window partition, i recomend defragmenting it first

[14:07] <willemb> wow, is it normal for all the directories in .gconf/apps/emapthy/* to only contain a file called %gconf.xml ?
[14:07] <Serdar> I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my hp 2710p and got stuck with my wlan
[14:07] <bugaloo> Serdar, what's the problem?
[14:08] <Serdar> I can't activate it with the nm-applet, but it's available because dmesg says so.
[14:08] <Serdar> it seems like my activate button of the 2710p does not activate it
[14:08] <bugaloo> Serdar, can you activate it from terminal?
[14:08] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: check your PM
[14:09] <Serdar> bugaloo, rfkill list says: Wireless LAN hardblocked yes
[14:09] <Serdar> bugaloo, activate like sudo ifconfig wlan0 up?
[14:09] <bugaloo> Serdar, yes
[14:09] <bugaloo> Serdar, or sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[14:09] <vikas_> hi all
[14:10] <bugaloo> Serdar, my hp laptop is an old dv2000... on your hp, the hardblock is an real button or a function on keyboard?
[14:10] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, yo yo yo
[14:11] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: did that work for you now
[14:11] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, no
[14:11] <Serdar> bugaloo, I can't get SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
[14:11] <erUSUL> Serdar: is a broadcom ?
[14:11] <vikas_> i installed gtk2.10.14, i want to know will it make any change to gdm of ubuntu

[14:11] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, sorry didn't notice pm
[14:11] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, will see if it works now
[14:12] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: you deleted the meta file and restarted evolution?
[14:12] <Serdar> erUSUL, no intel Wireless 4965 AG or AGN
[14:12] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: oh, OK
[14:12] <Serdar> bugaloo, you are damn right :)
[14:12] <erUSUL> Serdar: that error can be missing firmware. but afaik intel firmware comes with ubuntu
[14:13] <Rastatux> Bonjour
[14:13] <bugaloo> Serdar, well... it's not the best way, but you can try using ndiswrapper
[14:13] <Serdar> oh
[14:13] <vikas_> i installed gtk2.10.14, i want to know will it make any change to gdm of ubuntu
[14:13] <noisewaterphd> just be happy you have intel hardware and not some broadcom junk
[14:13] <vikas_> help
[14:13] <Serdar> erUSUL, I hoped that
[14:13] <noisewaterphd> vikas_: ask a specific question
[14:14] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, there is no trash.cmeta file in my local folder
[14:14] <noisewaterphd> you are in the .evolution folder right
[14:15] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, yes
[14:15] <bugaloo> abhijain, did flash plugin work?
[14:15] <noisewaterphd> are you using the command line
[14:15] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, no just using nautilus showing hidden files
[14:15] <sipior> vikas_: not unless you've rebuilt gdm against it.
[14:15] <vikas_> after installing gtk2.10.14 i am not been able to boot in gdm mode ubuntu start in command line mode. noisewaterphd
[14:16] <sipior> vikas_: how did you install it?
[14:16] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: well, I guess that in itself could be your problem
[14:16] <vikas_> sipior, ./configure make and make install
[14:17] <buddha_> hey guys
[14:17] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: search your filesystem for Trash.cmeta
[14:17] <buddha_> i have a problem
[14:17] <vikas_> sipior,
[14:17] <sipior> vikas_: you didn't overwrite the previously-installed version, did you?
[14:17] <abhijit> !ask | buddha_
[14:17] <buddha_> does anyone installed mac4lin?
[14:17] <noisewaterphd> do an updatedb, then use locate
[14:17] <bugaloo> vikas_, why did you do that?
[14:18] <vikas_> i then restarted my computer
[14:18] <sipior> vikas_: it installed to /usr/local? (i hope!)
[14:18] <buddha_> i have a problem by installing mac4lin /home/buddha/.themes: Kann chdir nicht ausführen: No such file or directory

[14:22] <rileyp> has anyone installed mythpodcaster on ubuntu I'd really like to but Im struggling http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/wiki/Installation as this is for redhat I think
[14:22] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, no Trash.cmeta on my system
[14:22] <phlak_user> newbie85: download the image, burn it on a usb stick, boot off it and install
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: what windows do you currently have?
[14:22] <stranger-2> erUSUL, I have many hardware controlled by ONE module, and I want just one hardware to get "removed"
[14:22] <RobsomeAwesome> newbie85: do you currently have an ISO program ?
[14:22] <stranger-2> so module unloading will not work....
[14:22] <newbie85> XP, i made the usb flash drive
[14:22] <RobsomeAwesome> That's how i installed 10.04 on my netbook
[14:22] <newbie85> i booted through it
[14:23] <newbie85> i'm
[14:23] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: this might be a silly question, but have you shutdown evolution and reopened it and tried?
[14:23] <Serdar> the driver is iwlagn
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: then boot to the USB and you can resize the NTFS in the installer
[14:23] <newbie85> i just dson't know how to install it next to my windows xp

[14:23] <phlak_user> newbie85: it would guide you through that process
[14:23] <epinky> !pastebin | lasher
[14:23] <lasher> yah wont do it again sry
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> lasher: use a pastebin for multilined output
[14:23] <stranger-2> any other idea ?
[14:24] <sipior> vikas_: try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgtk2.0-0"
[14:24] <newbie85> it doesn't guide me, it gives me 3 options, one is to eride the entire disk, the othe is to specify partitions manually
[14:24] <phlak_user> stranger-2: change udev rules
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> !dualboot
[14:24] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, yes
[14:24] <erUSUL> stranger-2: i was thinking in this /sys/bus/pci/drivers/r8169/unbind <<< iirc writting 1 to that file unbinds the driver from the hard
[14:24] <lasher> anybody successfully using firefox-4.0?

[14:25] <Serdar> I tried to unload and reload nothing changed
[14:25] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, It's in .#evolution.sbd
[14:25] <noisewaterphd> oh
[14:25] <newbie85> i just don't understand those guides
[14:26] <noisewaterphd> ok, my bad
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: you will need to read
[14:26] <noisewaterphd> i was going from memory
[14:26] <bugaloo> Serdar, not sure, but did you try to use the phy0 interface?
[14:26] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, But I dunno why it didn't show up when I searched for it
[14:26] <noisewaterphd> delete that and restart evolution and you might have it fixed
[14:26] <noisewaterphd> if you used locate the # would have thrown it off
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm
[14:27] <Serdar> bugaloo, you mean like ifconfig phy0 up? there is no such device it says
[14:27] <bugaloo> hm
[14:27] <blain> ifup eth0
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: make sure your backups of your data in XP are recent incase of catastrophe
[14:27] <bugaloo> Serdar, what if you only do "sudo iwconfig"?
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: you use gparted to resize the ntfs after defragging
[14:28] <Serdar> bugaloo, lo eth0 wlan0
[14:28] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, trash is now empty!
[14:28] <bugaloo> can you paste the respose of "sudo iwconfig wlan0"
[14:28] <bugaloo> ?
[14:28] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: Awesome!
[14:29] <gartral> is there a way to blacklist the built-in keyboard?
[14:29] <armor-64> hi i want to install a program that is called glosomatheia!it's Greek program for learning programing and i want it to run with wine but because it's using Greek letters it's shows me this((example)??????????)can you help me?
[14:29] <noisewaterphd> now enjoy, like I said, even though you just had an issue, I've been liking evolution a lot more than thunderbird these days
[14:30] <noisewaterphd> and I used to be die-hard thunderbird
[14:30] <bugaloo> Serdar, can you paste the respose of "sudo iwconfig wlan0"?
[14:30] <noisewaterphd> it just started getting really buggy with contacts and multiple imap accounts for me
[14:30] <johnbart> thanks noisewaterphd
[14:30] <noisewaterphd> johnbart:np
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> armor-64: i'd ask in #winehq
[14:31] <serdar__> bugaloo, http://codepad.org/cEBWSgST
[14:32] <newbie85> all the guides you gave me links to show that ubuntu should give me an automatic option to resize my disk, why doesn't it do it?
[14:32] <armor-64> i can't find anything for the program in the winehq
[14:32] <abhijit> gartral, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725199
[14:32] <bugaloo> serdar__, weird... it seems good :\   you only get the error with "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan", right?
[14:32] <armor-64> actionparsnip ,i can't find anything for the program in the winehq
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: then run: gksudo gparted    you can resize the ntfs partition that way
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> armor-64: no, #winehq is an irc channel
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: you must backup to prevent data loss in the event of catastrophe and you must defrag
[14:34] <abhijit> gartral, also from win http://forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/586922-solved-disabling-built-keyboard.html

[14:34] <armor-64> actionparsnip ,aaa sorry i was thinking about the site,how can i talt to the winehq irc?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: yes

[14:34] <ActionParsnip> armor-64: /join #winehq
[14:35] <serdar__> bugaloo, I guess it'S because of the wlan switch
[14:35] <serdar__> I guess it does not work with ubuntu
[14:35] <abhijit> newbie85, are you trying to resize ntfs partition?
[14:35] <erUSUL> serdar__: you can try to nstall latest drivers . « sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic »
[14:35] <newbie85> yep
[14:35] <armor-64> actionparsnip ,ok thanks a lot
[14:35] <bugaloo> serdar__, is the swtich a physical button? or a keyboard function?
[14:35] <bluebaron> where  can I go for evolution support?
[14:35] <abhijit> newbie85, you need to install extra code to let gparted able to do that
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> bluebaron: if its in ubuntu, then here
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: let windows defrag its own stuff
[14:36] <abhijit> !pm | newbie85 no I wll talk here only
[14:36] <serdar__> bugaloo, physical, I can try to get an image
[14:36] <bugaloo> serdar__, try this: sudo rfkill unblock all
[14:37] <bugaloo> if it's physical, it should be no problem to see if it's enabled :)
[14:37] <newbie85> okay, so i'll log on windows

[14:45] <bugaloo> serdar__, did you check on BIOS?
[14:45] <erUSUL> stranger-2: keep in mind that with sudo you have to do « echo -n "1-1:1.0" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ub/unbind » ( first example )
[14:46] <stranger-2> erUSUL, I already did "sudo su -"
[14:46] <erUSUL> stranger-2: ok

[14:47] <erUSUL> stranger-2: and again; i've never used this facility maube you can only "unbind" hardware that is already hotpluggable ( usb )
[14:47] <stranger-2> erUSUL, I am trying that, and will also try to do the reverse thing.

[14:51] <ActionParsnip> lasher: glad you got the gold (I dont use firefox no more)
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> lasher:  i tend to use the 'tar.gz' to test out FF4.0 ice had it cause issues with the normal FF :)
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> bluebaron: clawsmail may have a libnotify plugin
[14:52] <lasher> ActionParsnip,  neither was i... until this moment
[14:52] <Serdar> shit, I guess it was a fucking BIOS problem, I enabled it now I hope it works now, and if it does: head->desk!
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> lasher: may as well have a look
[14:52] <bugaloo> ActionParsnip, if I can ask, what browser do you use?

[14:55] <Parsi> i installed ubuntu on vps, but it does not load desktop
[14:55] <Parsi> only shoes a terminal
[14:55] <erUSUL> Parsi: server version ? it has no gui
[14:55] <bugaloo> Parsi, does it "try" to show the desktop?
[14:56] <epinky> armor-64: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Advanced_Wine_User_Information#Running_Software_with_another_Language
[14:56] <bugaloo> Parsi, maybe you have some display driver problem?
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> mgcc:  i just use the nvidia drivers. run  the nvidia config tool, enable twinview and both monitors. save it to the xorg.conf and reboot (or restart X)
[14:56] <Parsi> bugaloo: it shoes a terminal windoe
[14:56] <bugaloo> Parsi, a graphic terminal?
[14:56] <Parsi> bugaloo: yes
[14:56] <violinappren> Parsi: by VPS do you mean a Virtual Private Server? How are you accessing it?
[14:56] <piero> how to install ip changer
[14:57] <arleslie> I'm unable to install update or empty the trash bin. Any ideas what is wrong?
[14:57] <Parsi> violinappren: yes, i installed ubuntu-desktop via putty
[14:57] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, Yes I did that as well but the issue is that once screen is on a much hire resolution then the other when the screen is the same model.  Can you help me resolve this issue please?
[14:57] <violinappren> Parsi: putty doesn't support graphical desktops
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  so you are on a windows machine,. ssh;d to a VPS (whatever that is) linux box, installed ubuntu-desktop.. then what?
[14:58] <DarkNemesis_> how to i generate a digital signiture?
[14:58] <Parsi> violinappren, bugaloo, erUSUL, Dr_Willis http://kimag.es/view/75677337.png it's what i have
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> mgcc:  i jus use the nvidia settings tool to set the res for my 2 monitors. both are dvi. so i rarely have res issues
[14:58] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, on screen 2 it wont give me the option to go above 640x480
[14:58] <abhijit> piero, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=827506
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> mgcc:  is it on a dvi or vga connection?
[14:58] <bugaloo> DarkNemesis_, gpg?
[14:59] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, VGA card
[14:59] <bugaloo> Parsi, vnc?
[14:59] <Parsi> bugaloo: yes
[14:59] <DarkNemesis_> its for a document, not to encrypt
[14:59] <bugaloo> Parsi, i'm not sure if I understand what you're trying :)
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  your # of colors seems to be set low.    You need to configure vnc to serve up more colors.. or use Freenx for better performance
[14:59] <Parsi> bugaloo: :-s
[14:59] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, is there a file i can edit to force screen 2 on 1280x1024 resolution?  thats the resolution on my main screen
[14:59] <iskywalker> hi
[14:59] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: i need a loaded desktop!
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> mgcc:  after enabling twniview and saving to the xorg.conf - you may edit the xorg.conf
[15:00] <Parsi> bugaloo: what should i do?
[15:00] <iskywalker> i have a weird problem, when assigning the  ifconfig eth0 manueally i have a connection, but dhcp doesnt work
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:   You need to clarify what you are doing exactly. we are a bit confused.. Freenx and vnc both let you get to a 'remote' desktop
[15:00] <piero> how to install ip changer
[15:00] <arleslie> I'm unable to install update or empty the trash bin. Any ideas what is wrong?
[15:00] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, thats the problem, i dont know how to edit xorg.conf
[15:00] <bugaloo> Parsi, there is a init file for vncserver... I can't remember the name but it should appears to you when you start the server desktop
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> piero:  i dont think we know what you mean by 'ip changer'
[15:00] <abhijit> piero, i replied you above
[15:00] <iskywalker> I have a debian system connected here and it works nicely, can be that it checks the nmac address?
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> mgcc:  its  a text file.   use a text editor. backuyp your original.
[15:01] <violinappren> DarkNemesis_: a "digital signature" is a hash of a file signed by your private key, so hash it and use gpg
[15:01] <piero> i did not get it please
[15:01] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: i need the desktop complately
[15:01] <iskywalker> my system is a eee-pc 1005

[15:01] <Parsi> a working gnome
[15:01] <tensorpudding> yeouch that is some low color depth
[15:01] <Spanglish_7776> Parsi: from my experience, remote desktop on ubuntu (vnc, etc) seems to only work when there is already a login session active and vnc is active
[15:01] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, no no i know that but the codes that would go inside is the issue
[15:01] <bugaloo> Parsi, I had a similar problem when my vnc was trying to start something like compiz
[15:01] <Parsi> bugaloo: i removed compiz
[15:01] <Spanglish_7776> Parsi: just installing a gui may not work
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  set up vnc to use more colors, or check your vnc client and tell it to use more colors. and it should look more normal.
[15:02] <Parsi> ok
[15:02] <Parsi> let me check more color
[15:02] <Parsi> colros
[15:02] <bugaloo> Parsi, let me check my vnc files, just a minute
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Spanglish_7776:  thats not totally correct. :_ you can install 'vncserver' and have a totally hidden desktop on  a server you connect to.. or have a dozen 'hidden' desktops'
[15:02] <Parsi> thank you bugaloo
[15:02] <epinky> Dr_Willis: hi, offtopic though, do you happen to know any alternative to Sheevaplug (Sheevaplug-like)? :)
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Spanglish_7776:  the GNOME 'built in share desktop' shares the local desktop  - thats one way
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> epinky:  never heard of it.
[15:02] <tensorpudding> there's the guruplug
[15:03] <bugaloo> parsi, look your ~/.vnc/  folder
[15:03] <Spanglish_7776> Dr_Willis: gotcha, only way i've done it is to use the built in function of remote desktop sharing. ;)
[15:03] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, could you please help me with that?
[15:03] <Parsi> bugaloo: a minute
[15:03] <bugaloo> Parsi, there is a "xstartup" file?
[15:03] <Parsi> bugaloo: is it vncserver problem?
[15:03] <bugaloo> Parsi, it seems
[15:04] <bugaloo> Parsi, this is my xstartup: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464550/
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> Spanglish_7776:  thats actually a relatively 'new' feature in gnome . :)  ive done the 'ssh in, run vncserver' method for years
[15:05] <bugaloo> Parsi, I had a similar problem and it was a vncserver conf problem... not sure because it was a long time ago, but try to take a look on the xstartup file... maybe you can make a backup of yours and try to use this one
[15:05] <Parsi> bugaloo: there is no .vnc in the root:-s
[15:06] <bugaloo> Parsi, are you starting vnc as root? lol
[15:06] <ManDay> Does anyone know whether xsetwacom is only a wrapper for xinput or not?
[15:06] <Parsi> bugaloo: yes :/
[15:06] <Parsi> bugaloo: i find it
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  why are you running vnc as root?
[15:07] <bugaloo> Parsi, really.. run it as root isn't a good idea
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> the user running 'vncserver' has a .vnc/ directory that has various vnc configs and log files.
[15:07] <Parsi> ah
[15:07] <Parsi> ok
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> the vncserver command also takes several options to tweak it as well.
[15:07] <josephseraos> Hi everybody. I'm looking for where I could find my friends on XChat. Could you help me?
[15:07] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: bugaloo http://paste.ubuntu.com/464553/
[15:08] <red2kic> josephseraos: We're your friends.
[15:08] <josephseraos> well. I know :)
[15:08] <bugaloo> Parsi, try to make a backup of your file and use mime: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464550/
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> josephseraos: you can use the /whois command
[15:08] <bugaloo> Parsi, It may work with some luck :)
[15:08] <Parsi> let me try
[15:08] <DarkNemesis_> is the pub half the half i share?
[15:08] <josephseraos> But, I have add a people in some place here, and I am not finding
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  thats the default script that defines what gets ran by the vncserver when it starts up. if you wanted to run for example icewm, and just a terminal. You could tweak that script
[15:09] <bugaloo> Parsi, see on your file that it's starting "x-terminal-emulator" (exactely that graphical terminal that you see on your desktop)... it should work replacing the file
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> I find it 'best' to let vnc always startup a terminal windiow.. just in case theres some other issues. :) i can still debug/start a second window manager via thst terminal
[15:10] <josephseraos> ?
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  also with vnc - its 'best' speed wise to use the most minimal desktop setup you can.
[15:10] <josephseraos> whois command?
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> josephseraos:  do you know their Nicks?
[15:11] <josephseraos> I can't remember
[15:11] <metalgeek_Newbie> HI, I have recently installed XChat from the sortware center.  Is this a good IRC Client? Can anyone suggest anything else? Also, I found an IRC channel called #Hardware on something called GamesSurge, but don't know much about IRC so don't know how to join. Sorry this must seem stupid
[15:11] <tensorpudding> Xchat is decent
[15:11] <red2kic> josephseraos: I think you should see it in #ubuntu when you log in?  "Notify: $USER is online (FreeNode) ?
[15:12] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, you can join a channel using /join #channel
[15:12] <AnxiousNut> how can i stop an ATI graphics card?
[15:12] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, but you have to know in what server the channel is :)
[15:12] <metalgeek_Newbie> bugaloo, Thats what i thought but how do i know
[15:12] <josephseraos> red2kic: I'm new on irc
[15:12] <eshat> How do I get the "choose locale" menu after lucid installed ? dpkg-reconfigure locales does only genarte the choosen locales, but I want to add some...
[15:12] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, about the server?
[15:13] <tensorpudding> Well, if you knew what network it's on
[15:13] <erUSUL> !locales | eshat
[15:13] <metalgeek_Newbie> yes
[15:13] <tensorpudding> for example, if it were on freenode, you'd put in freenode's server
[15:13] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, there are too many servers in the world :)
[15:13] <metalgeek_Newbie> Dr_Willis, Thanks for all your help yesterday, your the best!!!
[15:13] <tensorpudding> irc.freenode.net
[15:13] <red2kic> josephseraos: xchat? Generally we don't keep a list of friends. We just get along with whatever is going on with the channel. I mean, some people come in here once or twice and that's it. The regulars will be here often.
[15:13] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, people can create channel in any of them
[15:13] <metalgeek_Newbie> It said its on "GameSurge"??
[15:14] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, if you want a specific channel (like this one that you found on gamesurg), maybe you can look there for some information about the network they use
[15:14] <tensorpudding> gamesurge does appear to be an irc network
[15:14] <josephseraos> humm
[15:14] <tensorpudding> their server is irc.gamesurge.net
[15:14] <bugaloo> there it is
[15:14] <josephseraos> "Notify: RUSER is online (FreeNode)" is a command?
[15:14] <metalgeek_Newbie> tensorpudding, Thanks mate
[15:14] <tensorpudding> so you'd put that in for the server
[15:15] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, you can connect on irc.gamesurge.net then... and try /join #channel
[15:15] <josephseraos> is "Notify: RUSER is online (FreeNode)" a command?
[15:15] <josephseraos> is "Notify: $USER is online (FreeNode)" a command?
[15:15] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, if you're using xchat, you can open several server at the same time using different tabs
[15:16] <josephseraos> red2kic: is "Notify: $USER is online (FreeNode)" a command?
[15:16] <Misterio> josephseraos: Network's name is freenode, not FreeNode
[15:16] <red2kic> josephseraos: Well -- I added you and it displayed that right away. I'm assuming it'll display that when you already added friends and joined the channel/server.
[15:16] <metalgeek_Newbie> Do i ad it at the server list?
[15:16] <johnbart> Hello, I now have another problem
[15:16] <metalgeek_Newbie> sorry Network list
[15:16] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, if you want
[15:17] <johnbart> Ubuntu software center wont start
[15:17] <metalgeek_Newbie> bugaloo, is there another way, sorry about this
[15:17] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, another way for what?
[15:17] <josephseraos> red2kic: ok. I think I understood you
[15:17] <Shaan7> Hi! Recently everything that wants to use SDL (Neverball, Battle Tanks etc) fails to play audio. For e.g. Neverball says "No available audio device". Everything used to work fine until recently. Any ideas how can I troubleshoot? Thanks :)
[15:18] <nunojpg> I downloaded a package source from packages.ubuntu.com. Is there a standard way of compiling it? or the developers do it manually and then load binary and source apart to the repository?
[15:18] <johnbart> I tried starting Ubuntu Software Centre from the terminal and I see this error: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'partner_channel' referenced before assignment
[15:18] <Agan_squiddy> hi, how to deal with 8gigs of flashdisk read only filesystem? i've done google but no luck yet
[15:18] <dlublink> Ok. mysql-server is a meta package, I ran apt-get purge mysql-server-core-5.1 mysql-server-5.1 and it cleared it off entirely, when I reinstall the meta package the data directory and config directory were back to the package defaults
[15:19] <red2kic> nunojpg: Use terminal / synaptic / Ubuntu Software Center instead.
[15:19] <bugaloo> Parsi, did vnc work?
[15:19] <CAPcap> Im using cfdisk to partition a usb flash drive. im looking at the filesystem types and i see W95 FAT32 and W95 FAT32 (LBA). Whats the difference?
[15:19] <eshat> erUSUL: the locales page seems not to be up to date for lucid
[15:19] <nunojpg> red2kic: to download the source?
[15:19] <eshat> so my question again:
[15:19] <eshat> How do I get the "choose locale" menu after lucid installed ? dpkg-reconfigure locales does only genarte the choosen locales, but I want to add some...
[15:19] <nunojpg> red2kic: I want to make changes
[15:19] <Parsi> bugaloo: i was removed initd
[15:19] <Parsi> *xinetd
[15:20] <red2kic> !patch | nunojpg
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> CAPcap:  LBA i recall is needed for large sized hard drives.
[15:20] <bugaloo> Parsi, can't see the relationship, hehe
[15:20] <Parsi> bugaloo: what if i uncomment #unset SESSION_MANAGER
[15:20] <Parsi> #exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[15:21] <bugaloo> Parsi, not sure... you can try
[15:21] <Parsi> ok
[15:21] <CAPcap> Dr_Willis, So since I'm doing a 3Gb partition on a 4Gb flash drive i can use the regular one?
[15:21] <Andrew9> i am reading samba manual. it says " the username used here should be a real user setup on your PC/Server" what if i don't have password on my pc ?
[15:21] <rww> I note that clicking Guest68422's link is a rather bad idea.
[15:21] <bugaloo> Parsi, yeah... I think it should work
[15:22] <bugaloo> Andrew9, no problem
[15:22] <bugaloo> Andrew9, the samba user has to exist on pc/server, but password doesn't need to be the same
[15:22] <b1nd3r> Hey. If I have a ubuntu 9.10 that doesn't boot on a certain box, but 10.04 boots, so changing initrd.lz and vmlinuz from casper folder and from squashfs (boot/ folder) wasn't suppose to make 9.10  livecd to work too?
[15:22] <johnbart> software centre appears to be broken
[15:22] <Andrew9> bugaloo: so how would i create passwordless account for samba?
[15:23] <bugaloo> smbpasswd
[15:23] <bluebaron> rww, yeah probably ... java client ... he must htink he can find idiots here
[15:23] <bluebaron> think
[15:23] <Andrew9> bugaloo: and leave password blank?
[15:23] <p1l0t> !apache2
[15:23] <bugaloo> Andrew9, you have to choose a password for the samba user
[15:23] <Spanglish_7776> Andrew9: it might not let you not set a password.
[15:23] <bugaloo> Andrew9, what I meant is that you dont have to set the same password for the system user
[15:23] <p1l0t> What is the irc channel for apache2? I have some port questions
[15:23] <Andrew9> bugaloo: but should'nt it match client windows pasword?
[15:24] <jpds> p1l0t: #httpd / #ubuntu-server ?
[15:24] <hareldvd_> I installed both lilo and GRUB (is it OK?) thinking I could either run grub-install or lilo and choose later. Now when I run lilo I get fine readings but I get grub at boot time. Any idea?
[15:24] <Spanglish_7776> p1lot: #httpd
[15:24] <Agan_squiddy> hi, how to deal with 8gigs of flashdisk read only filesystem? i've done google but no luck yet
[15:24] <Parsi> bugaloo: http://kimag.es/view/25246775.png
[15:24] <bugaloo> Andrew9, smbpasswd will set the password that client will use to access this samba machine
[15:24] <Spanglish_7776> Agan_squiddy: what format is the drive Fat32?
[15:24] <p1l0t> jpds: Oh yeah I didn't think of that. Thanks
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> Agan_squiddy: check your mount options. What file system does it use?
[15:25] <bugaloo> Parsi, some problem with the pic... it didn't open right here
[15:25] <Andrew9> bugaloo: so username should be exact as windows's and password can be any?
[15:25] <Agan_squiddy> Spanglish, yes its FAT32
[15:25] <Parsi> bugaloo: http://www.kimag.es/share/25246775.png try this
[15:25] <Agan_squiddy> ActionParnsip, mount options, where is it?
[15:25] <epinky> Andrew9: use "-n" flag with smbpasswd
[15:25] <bugaloo> Parsi, ah! It seems there still some problem :(
[15:25] <Parsi> :(
[15:26] <bugaloo> Andrew9, yes
[15:26] <Stratford> can a floppy be formatted an used in linux?
[15:26] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: can you help me with this http://www.kimag.es/share/25246775.png
[15:26] <bugaloo> Stratford, yes
[15:26] <Andrew9> epinky bugaloo: ok i'll try
[15:26] <tensorpudding> Stratford: i think fdformat does that
[15:27] <epinky> Andrew9: also you must have "null passwords = yes" in global section of smb.conf
[15:27] <johnbart> Why, seriously
[15:27] <johnbart> one problem after another
[15:27] <Andrew9> epinky: ok
[15:27] <Stratford> ok then.. can it be partitioned in 2 equal; one for linux and 1 for ntfs/dos/fat16 ?
[15:27] <red2kic> !tab | josephseraos
[15:27] <AnxiousNut> how can i stop a graphics card?
[15:27] <Agan_squiddy> Spanglish_7776, it Fat32. how to fix it?
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  you proberly edited your xstartup for vnc and dident tell it to start a window maanger.. i ALWAYS set it where it starts a xterm as a 'failsafe' thing.
[15:27] <red2kic> josephseraos: Try typing red then use your tab key.
[15:27] <johnbart> One of the best features of Ubuntu 10.04 is now broken after updates
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  You could install icewm as a 'minimal' window manager for vnc.
[15:28] <tensorpudding> I don't think that floppies have partition tables, but I could be totally off base
[15:28] <hareldvd_> I installed both lilo and GRUB (is it OK?) thinking I could either run grub-install or lilo and choose later. Now when I run lilo I get fine readings but I get grub at boot time. Any idea?
[15:28] <trojan_spike> AnxiousNut, uninstall the driver
[15:28] <Spanglish_7776> AGan_squiddy: you plug it in and it just automounts read only?
[15:28] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: can i reconfig vncserver?
[15:28] <abhijit> !repeat | hareldvd
[15:28] <red2kic> josephseraos: Also...
[15:28] <red2kic> !who | josephseraos
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  you can configure vnc to do all sorts of things.. check the files in  your users .vnc dir
[15:28] <johnbart> Its really hard to tell people, "hey, the Software Centre is really easy to use" if it doesn't work reliably
[15:28] <josephseraos> red2kic, hi
[15:28] <red2kic> josephseraos: See? Not too hard. :)
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> johnbart: i don't, i tell them to use apt-get
[15:29] <Agan_squiddy> Spanglish_7776, pretty much yes. tried to reformat it but i got errors
[15:29] <Stratford> ok then.. can it be partitioned in 2 equal; one for linux and 1 for ntfs/dos/fat16 ?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> tensorpudding: sure they do, how so you think the files get allocated
[15:29] <rileyp> http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/wiki/Installation Can anyone help me install this on ubuntu
[15:29] <Spanglish_7776> Agan_Squiddy: which errors were they?
[15:29] <josephseraos> red2kic, Becouse I want to know if show a warning when I write to you
[15:30] <josephseraos> who red2kic
[15:30] <Stratford> i have formatted a floppy in 2 equal partition one for linux and one for ntfs
[15:30] <epinky> rileyp: Java? :(
[15:30] <Stratford> how can i put the file system on it
[15:30] <red2kic> josephseraos: You mean the red highlight? It allows people to see your message easily. That way you don't miss anything.
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> Stratford: you cant format floppys to ntfs afaik
[15:30] <rileyp> epinky ?  I need help
[15:30] <bugaloo> Stratford, what filesystem?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> Stratford: do you mean a usb flash device
[15:31] <bugaloo> Stratford, you can tray mkfs.vfat /dev/fd0
[15:31] <tensorpudding> Using anything other than a DOS fs for a disk would be a bad idea.
[15:31] <rileyp> its tomcat and java and ...helll
[15:31] <tensorpudding> floppy*
[15:31] <bugaloo> mkfs.[tab][tab] should show you the options :)
[15:31] <josephseraos> red2kic, When I write now, is it red highlight?
[15:31] <epinky> rileyp: so, you're on step ...
[15:31] <red2kic> josephseraos: Yes, for me. It is.
[15:31] <Agan_squiddy> Spanglish_7776: this error from gparted http://paste.ubuntu.com/464563/
[15:32] <josephseraos> red2kic, My irc client is XChat. what is your irc client?
[15:32] <red2kic> josephseraos: Same.
[15:32] <abhijit> do i need registered dynamic dns to be able to use remote desktop technology?
[15:32] <WeenerPunch> I'm bout to fling some dung @ this kneegrow
[15:32] <bugaloo> josephseraos, red2kic, best ircclient ever is the BitchX haha
[15:33] <bugaloo> abhijit, no... dyn dns is only to "find" your machine ip
[15:33] <Parsi> bugaloo: http://kimag.es/view/59421376.png
[15:33] <Spanglish_7776> Agan_Squiddy there isnt a write protect slider or button it, right?
[15:33] <abhijit> bugaloo, ok
[15:33] <bugaloo> abhijit, if you can find the ip other way, there is no need dyn dns
[15:33] <abhijit> bugaloo, hmm
[15:33] <schproodle> Trying Dotsch/UX 1.2 -- an Ubuntu-based boinc distro.  "hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/scd0 (every 2 sec)" is causing me trouble.  Can one do without this harassment of the CDROM?  I can hardly eject an irrelevant CD.
[15:33] <abhijit> bugaloo, can you help connecting to friend ubuntu?
[15:34] <rileyp> epinky im here ill pastebin
[15:34] <abhijit> bugaloo, if you are free
[15:34] <bugaloo> abhijit, not sure if I got what you want :)
[15:34] <WeenerPunch> &
[15:34] <josephseraos> red2kic, bugaloo : Well. I'm using Ubuntu and there is only XChat in the Synaptic. And it is very good
[15:34] <Agan_squiddy> Spanglish_7776: i've rechecked, negative. what should i do?
[15:34] <josephseraos> red2kic, bugaloo : more than pidgin
[15:35] <bugaloo> josephseraos, BitchX is a very old client :) It was just a joke... I use xchat too
[15:35] <abhijit> bugaloo, i have installed all that i know about rdp and my friend also installed vlc. now i want to connect his pc using internet
[15:35] <Spanglish_7776> Agan_squiddy: I wonder if it maybe a bad flashdisk or bad useb port? did you try plugging it a dif usb port?
[15:35] <Parsi> bugaloo: i run exec gnome-session and it worked!
[15:35] <slinker1> josephseraos: there's always irssi :)
[15:35] <Spanglish_7776> Agan_squiddy seems odd
[15:35] <bugaloo> Parsi, nice :D
[15:35] <rileyp> epinky http://pastebin.com/9RZKFUXs
[15:35] <bugaloo> abhijit, vlc or vnc?
[15:35] <Parsi> bugaloo: where should i put it?
[15:35] <josephseraos> bugaloo, :-) oh yeah
[15:35] <josephseraos> hehe
[15:35] <b1nd3r> Hey. If I have a ubuntu 9.10 that doesn't boot on a certain box, but 10.04 boots, so changing initrd.lz and vmlinuz from casper folder and from squashfs (boot/ folder) wasn't suppose to make 9.10  livecd to work too?
[15:36] <bugaloo> Parsi, on the xstartup file
[15:36] <josephseraos> bugaloo, I dont know
[15:36] <abhijit> bugaloo, vnc
[15:36] <Parsi> bugaloo: at the end? after last &?
[15:36] <josephseraos> I'm going right now
[15:36] <Agan_squiddy> Spanglish_7776: only got 3 USB slots on my laptop. tried them all but still no luck
[15:37] <bugaloo> Parsi, try comment x-window-manager and put it instead
[15:37] <josephseraos> red2kic, bugaloo ubottu : thanks a lot and bye bye for now
[15:37] <Parsi> ok
[15:37] <bugaloo> abhijain, you should can connect only putting his IP
[15:37] <Stratford> ActionParsnip, bugaloo ; well then take a look at this
[15:37] <bugaloo> abhijain, on the vnc client
[15:37] <Stratford> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/464566/
[15:37] <Spanglish_7776> Agan_squiddy: is the flashdisk unmounted when you try to format?
[15:37] <abhijit> bugaloo, it says connection closed
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> Stratford: wow, crazy stuff
[15:38] <bugaloo> Stratford, hahaha
[15:38] <solow> My clock is gone. >_<
[15:38] <abhijit> bugaloo, i got his ip by running whatismypd.com
[15:38] <Spanglish_7776> Agan_squiddy: if it's mounted formatting will fail.
[15:38] <Agan_squiddy> Spanglish_7776: absolutely
[15:38] <bugaloo> Stratford, sorry for ask, but... why are you trying to do this?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: what are you wanting to do on the remote system?
[15:38] <bugaloo> abhijain, are you using a router or something?
[15:38] <Stratford> practicing
[15:38] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: sort of download/upload
[15:38] <yessir_turan> hello people.. i installed nvidia card and its drivers and my console resolution is messed up now.. anybody knows what to do?
[15:39] <bugaloo> Stratford, haha, ok
[15:39] <Stratford> i'm new to all this
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: why not just install transmission daemon or rtorrent and use a web interface then....
[15:39] <abhijain> bugaloo: i am abhijain here and he is abhijit
[15:39] <solow> how do I reset my clock? All it says is Fri Jul 1. I have to click it to see the time... *sigh*
[15:39] <abhijit> ohh reallly?
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: you dont need a full blown desktop to manage torrents
[15:39] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: because sometimes i need more than download/upload :P
[15:40] <bugaloo> abhijain, it became confuse, haha
[15:40] <abhijit> bugaloo, :D
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: like what? There is usually a miles better choice than vnc, plus vnc has no security so you wil need to make ssh tunnels etc
[15:40] <gFred> I have this python-script I want to be able to run from everywhere. I just wanna type in "runme -op --tions" in terminal - not cd to the dir first or "/foo/bar/runme -op --tions"
[15:40] <gFred> how do I do that? :P
[15:40] <bugaloo> Stratford, ls -l /dev/fd*
[15:40] <martian> Where is the date format for 'ls' set? in a terminal, I get 2010-07-16 but when ls is run by a script via apache, I get "Jul 16 2010"
[15:40] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: editing mp3 tags
[15:40] <abhijain> abhijit: change your nick
[15:41] <bugaloo> Stratford, see if fd0p1 appears to you
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> gFred: put the script in /usr/bin
[15:41] <violinappren> gFred: put it in ~/bin
[15:41] <violinappren> ActionParsnip: bad idea
[15:41] <abhijit> abhijain, you change your nick. I am senior
[15:41] <bugaloo> abhijain, sorry, but I have to go to launch now
[15:41] <abhijit> bugaloo, ok
[15:41] <bugaloo> good luck
[15:41] <violinappren> gFred: make a bin directory in your home and move it there
[15:41] <abhijit> bugaloo, thanks :)
[15:41] <gFred> violinappren: why is it a bad idea to put it in /usr/bin?
[15:41] <Spanglish_7776> Agan_squiddy: I would try formatting the flashdisk on a dif machine and see if that helps. to rule out the flashdisk.
[15:41] <red2kic> gFred: or /usr/local/bin/ :)
[15:41] <bugaloo> see you soon guys :)
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: id3tool
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> violinappren: why?
[15:42] <Agan_squiddy> Spanglish_7776: im about to do that on my xp box. thanks a lot
[15:42] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: youhave everything:P
[15:42] <Spanglish_7776> Agan_squiddy: np
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: the only real thing i can see vnc is for is to teach users, otherwise command line apps can be used and use less bandwidth
[15:43] <solow> how do I reset my clock? All it says is Fri Jul 1. I have to click it to see the time... *sigh*
[15:43] <violinappren> gFred: ActionParsnip: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ and besides that, using ~/bin doesn't require root privs
[15:43] <Parsi> ActionParsnip: yes..
[15:43] <jumoit> hey, i have a hard time in getting NM recognize Huawei EC1261 as usb-modem, instead of usb-storage in order for the NM to be able to show that the network has been established. so, please extend me a hand.
[15:44] <Stratford> solow, system>admin>time and date
[15:44] <martian> Where is the date format for 'ls' set? in a terminal, I get 2010-07-16 but when ls is run by a script via apache, I get Jul 16 2010
[15:44] <gFred> violinappren: ok, thanks! That goes for red2kic and ActionParsnip as well... :P
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> violinappren: neither does putting the file in /usr/bin   where do you think all the other binarys you run are kept (hint:   run:    which firefox    )
[15:44] <erUSUL> martian: locale settings LC_DATE or LC_TIME
[15:45] <martian> erUSUL: thanks!
[15:45] <epinky> rileyp: have you considered this HOWTO it's RedHat-like oriented? I suggest you to use mythpodcaster-0.0.8-bin.tar.gz
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> solow: sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
[15:45] <erUSUL> martian: apache probably uses C and in your terminal it uses LANG
[15:45] <nucc1> anyone know where postfix logs are located?
[15:45] <red2kic> ActionParsnip: He probably don't know why either.  ~/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/ are recommended. You don't want your personal scripts in /usr/bin/ because that is where all executable binaries goes to when you install it from the repositories. You may lose scripts / getting overwrite if there are same filenames.
[15:45] <bora> ugh
[15:45] <solow> ActionParsnip, Stratford, The date is correct. It's just gone.
[15:45] <violinappren> ActionParsnip: using /usr/bin to PUT a file in there does require root privs
[15:45] <jumoit> there is no anyone here with such experience????
[15:45] <bora> no matter what i do i cant get a better resolution than 640x480
[15:45] <rileyp> epinky so I use the tar.gz
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> violinappren: oh absolutely but to launch them doesnt
[15:46] <gFred> I ended up putting my script in /usr/local/bin
[15:46] <erUSUL> jumoit: maybe you have to install usb-modeswitch
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> red2kic: possibly yes
[15:46] <violinappren> ActionParsnip: the question wasn't about launching
[15:46] <Stratford> ActionParsnip, do you have any thoughts on my issue
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> violinappren: gotcha, my bad
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> Stratford: whats up?
[15:47] <Stratford> my floppy
[15:47] <Stratford> partitions
[15:47] <epinky> rileyp: yep, replace that step with "tar -xvzf mythpodcaster-0.0.8-bin.tar.gz" and also consider installing Mythbuntu :)
[15:47] <abhijit> any here free to give us hand to connect to each other's ubuntu over internet usingn rdp? step by step? if yu are free?
[15:47] <Stratford> i can see them in fdisk but cannot access them respectively
[15:47] <red2kic> gFred: ~/bin will work too. /usr/local/bin means you can access the scripts using other users mode and in root mode too.
[15:47] <jumoit> erUSUL: yeah, as you said. i have done so. but, it's a pity that i cant got what i want still. so...
[15:47] <bora> anyone using 8800GT nvidia graphics card?
[15:47] <erUSUL> abhijit: rdp can only be used to connect to windows machines
[15:48] <gFred> red2kic: this is on backtrack, so that was no problem :)
[15:48] <rileyp> epinky I have mythbuntu
[15:48] <abhijit> erUSUL, I need to connect to my friends ubuntu using remote desktop viewer
[15:48] <red2kic> gFred: Great. :)
[15:48] <erUSUL> jumoit: usually searching "ubuntu + modem model" gives good results
[15:48] <gFred> Yep, thanks for the help guys. Works perfectly now!
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> Stratford: you need to mount them then
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> !mount | Stratford
[15:48] <epinky> rileyp: ok, then that HOWTO will be for Mythdora I think :)
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | bora
[15:48] <Stratford> sudo mount /dev/fd0p1 /mnt ?
[15:48] <Stratford> this does not work
[15:49] <abhijit> erUSUL, then how to connect two ubuntu?
[15:49] <erUSUL> Stratford: only /dev/fd0
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: the floppy has 2 partitions, one is amazingly ntfs formatted
[15:49] <Stratford> yes but i have the floppy in two partitions
[15:49] <erUSUL> abhijit: vnc ( vinagre )
[15:49] <abhijit> erUSUL, he has installed vnc
[15:49] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: Stratford o.0!!!!
[15:49] <AnxiousNut> modprobe is giving me this error when trying with ndiswrapper: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release! what does this mean?
[15:49] <jumoit> erUSUL, yeah, i have searched for that many times by google, and then tried so many methods over there. i'm not lucky. so....
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: exactly
[15:50] <rileyp> epinky I have extracxted the tarball
[15:50] <erUSUL> AnxiousNut: sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
[15:50] <violinappren> AnxiousNut: ignore it, it's harmless for now
[15:50] <bora> why would anyone want to have 2 partitions on a floppy?
[15:51] <violinappren> erUSUL: that may break tools looking for that particular path
[15:51] <Stratford> i can create/save/see any file/directory i create using linux but how to access ntfs partition
[15:51] <erUSUL> violinappren: what would couse that
[15:51] <AnxiousNut> erUSUL, then i should try modprobe again?
[15:51] <bora> ActionParsnip, I asked my question before, several times. I cant get over 640x480 when i install the nvidia drivers
[15:51] <Andrew9> bugaloo: smbpasswd doesn't work
[15:51] <erUSUL> AnxiousNut: a warning is only that... a warning. the modprobe succeed despite it
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> bora: same reason you'd have 2 partitions on any device
[15:51] <violinappren> Stratford: like any other partition, mount it from Places
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> bora: try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig   then rebooting
[15:52] <epinky> rileyp: then find your way to step 12 "Copy the MythPodcaster WAR file to the Tomcat webapps directory"
[15:52] <violinappren> erUSUL: a tool may try to generate or modify this file and it won't find it
[15:52] <Stratford> violinappren, i cannot seem to mount individual partitions
[15:52] <bora> ActionParsnip,
[15:52] <jumoit> erUSUL: after typing in lsusb, these information is shown on the terminal.(Bus 004 Device 121: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem
[15:52] <bora> I have done that several times
[15:52] <jumoit> )
[15:52] <violinappren> Stratford: what errors do you get?
[15:53] <bora> it doesnt help I have done everything that I can think of
[15:53] <bora> everything was working on fedora, and on my tablet pc the NVIDIA drivers work without issues but its a different gpu
[15:53] <rileyp> epinky  my web apps dir wil be differnt to inthe guide wil it not?
[15:53] <Andrew9> smbpasswd doesn't work what can i do?
[15:53] <erUSUL> violinappren: fair enough; AnxiousNut undo the mv « sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper » the warning is harmless you will have to live with it
[15:53] <Stratford> ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo mount /dev/fd0p1 /mnt
[15:53] <Stratford> mount: special device /dev/fd0p1 does not exist
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> bora: have you triedplaying with xorg.conf a little
[15:54] <epinky> rileyp: you should accomplish step 1-11 I think
[15:54] <violinappren> Stratford: is that a partition on a hard disk? it looks like a floppy
[15:54] <AnxiousNut> erUSUL, why undo it?
[15:54] <bora> well im not %100 familiar with xorg configs but i have tried some settings i found online
[15:55] <Stratford> floppy.. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/464566/
[15:55] <violinappren> Stratford: they are usually named /dev/sd*
[15:55] <AnxiousNut> erUSUL, it stopped giving me this error, isnt this better?
[15:55] <bora> nothing after like 18 hours of straight fiddling around
[15:55] <hareldvd> I have a different linux installation currently mounted on /othersys. When I run update-grub I no longer can see it added to the menu. Any idea?
[15:56] <rileyp> so i follow the binary install guide
[15:56] <martian> erUSUL: I thought I'd be able to run with what you said, but I can't find any reference in any of my profile settings or in apache's configuration to set anything regarding locale... any idea where it may be set?
[15:56] <rileyp> epinky Im not sure which guide im using
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> bora: if you pastebin your xorg.conf i'll have a looksee
[15:56] <hareldvd> also I suffer from terrible network lags so forgive me if I unintentionally write things several times.
[15:56] <epinky> rileyp: "http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/wiki/Installation" Binary Installation Guide
[15:56] <erUSUL> martian: maybe in apache's init script ?
[15:56] <violinappren> Stratford: i'm not even sure if the floppy driver would recognize partitions
[15:57] <Stratford> violinappren, you just saw my output
[15:57] <erUSUL> Stratford: all the googling i've done suggest that no it wont ; violinappren
[15:57] <bora> ActionParsnip, right now i have the default configuration generated by nvidia-xconfig as I just re-installed the system to try some other guide
[15:57] <rileyp> epinky so the binary guide
[15:57] <Stratford> i can write/save to the floppy
[15:58] <epinky> rileyp: yes, because you've untared the binary
[15:58] <rileyp> epinky 1 which java do i install
[15:58] <bihari> hi
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> bora: can you pastebin the xorg.conf if it comes down to that, I always use the nvidia vdpau ppa, works ok here
[15:59] <martian> erUSUL: you know too much! Do you imagine there could be any negative consequences to changing it from C (as you suspected) to LANG?
[15:59] <Stratford> ok how do i put the fs on the floppy
[15:59] <bora> vdpau ppa?
[15:59] <Stratford> this is how i have done it.. ubuntu@ubuntu:/$
[15:59] <Stratford> sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/fd0p1
[16:00] <epinky> rileyp: Universe and Multiverse must be enable then install sun-java6.bin sun-java6-demo sun-java6-doc sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-source
[16:00] <epinky> rileyp: enabled*
[16:00] <rileyp> epinky so i folowe the source steps and then the binary steps
[16:00] <erUSUL> martian: it should be something like LC_ALL=C to LC_ALL=en_EN.UTF-8 or some such and i really dunno; maybe apache just ignores this
[16:00] <rileyp> is this correct?
[16:00] <epinky> rileyp: yeah
[16:00] <sprung> ActionParsnip, you're one of the veterans of this channel, maybe you can help me out, I'm trying to fix that problem where ;1 is added to all files on the mounted volume when I use Archive Manager to mount any .iso file. Do you know how to fix that?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> bora: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa
[16:00] <rileyp> i have univers e and mulitiverse enabled
[16:00] <epinky> rileyp: no, I mean just the binary
[16:01] <violinappren> Stratford:  partitioning a floppy sounds like a really bad idea
[16:01] <lavish> hi all
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> sprung: does the file pass MD5 test?
[16:01] <bora> i should install their package?
[16:01] <epinky> rileyp: http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/wiki/Installation#Binary_Installation_Steps
[16:01] <erUSUL> martian: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/logs.html
[16:01] <sprung> ActionParsnip, yes
[16:02] <brett\> gateway pentium mobile laptop 1GB ram pretty standard with intel gma graphics etc.. new install of ubuntu 10.04. when my comp comes out of suspend the touchpad doesn't respond -- any clues?
[16:02] <Stratford> violinappren, why
[16:02] <martian> erUSUL: well, thanks for sharing your geniusness =D
[16:02] <Stratford> i'm just practicing
[16:02] <sprung> ActionParsnip, and if I extract the iso or copy the files from the mounted volume and go to the trouble of renaming every....single...file... the files work
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> sprung: do you mean like:   initrd.gz;1   etc?
[16:02] <erUSUL> martian: no problem
[16:02] <sprung> ActionParsnip, precisely
[16:02] <sprung> ActionParsnip, or VOB_0_1.VOB;1
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> sprung: why are you extractinig the files?
[16:03] <sprung> ActionParsnip, as a workaround
[16:03] <lavish> I'm trying to disable the logout button in the gnome menu. I found and set to true /apps/indicator-session/suppress_logout_restart_shutdown and /apps/indicator-session/suppress_logout_menuitem but nothing changes even after reboot.
[16:03] <rileyp> epinky E: Couldn't find package sun-java6.bin
[16:03] <oxymoron> WHich package to install to get java?
[16:03] <sprung> ActionParsnip, forget extracting the files that's a curve ball. the point is the archive mounter adds these ;1
[16:03] <lavish> I know there a lockdown editor, but if I disable the logout button it disable the poweroff applet too
[16:03] <erUSUL> martian: LC_TIME is the variable ...
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> sprung: you could extract them then use a script to rename them minus the extra chars
[16:03] <sprung> 's to everything
[16:03] <violinappren> Stratford: erUSUL just told you he's convinced (after googling) that the partitions won't be recognized, you can practice on a normal file treated as a disk .. that's possible in unix, mount -o loop
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> sprung: if you are wanting to make a bootable usb device you are doing it wrong
[16:04] <ZykoticK9> bora, to get dual monitor with Nvidia after running "sudo nvidia-xconfig" simply start the gui config app "gksu nvidia-settings" and select X Server Display Config on the left side then verify both monitor are enabled and select TwinView from the Configure button.
[16:04] <epinky> rileyp: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-*
[16:04] <sprung> ActionParsnip, that doesn't fix the problem that just works around the fact that archive mounter isn't handling the files properly
[16:04] <castellano> buenas tardes
[16:04] <sprung> ActionParsnip, No. I'm not. It does it with all .iso's
[16:04] <piero> software that can make me change my ip
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> sprung: log a bug then,or try mounting it manually and specify the iso standard
[16:04] <dabaR> castellano: I'm not a tard...
[16:04] <piero> i need software that can make me change my ip
[16:04] <sprung> ActionParsnip, the bug is already logged, well over two years ago.
[16:04] <violinappren> piero: set it manually in Network Manager
[16:05] <sprung> unbelievably, nobody's fixed it. just seeing if you knew anything about it
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> sprung: then i guess you are being hit with it and it is still in place as it hasnt been resolved, so you are stuck
[16:05] <piero> ok
[16:05] <piero> any website for ips
[16:05] <bora> ZykoticK9, Im not trying to get 2 monitors to run, I just want my only monitor to run at 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 instead of 640x480
[16:05] <sprung> ActionParsnip, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1080220 and redhat has it listed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469512
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> piero: you cant just CHOOSE an IP address, it doesnt work like that
[16:06] <bora> i dont even have a 2nd monitor
[16:06] <rileyp> epinky 10 min to dl at adsl 1 speeds sorry
[16:06] <erUSUL> violinappren: Stratford maybe that will work...  « dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img » then « sudo losetup /dev/loop0 floppy.img » then « sudo partx /dev/loop0 »
[16:06] <ZykoticK9> bora, ahh sorry - don't know where i got the dual-monitor part from then?  my bad.  Best of luck.
[16:06] <rileyp> epinky I can do some of the dir making and stuff though
[16:06] <sprung> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libarchive/+bug/299956
[16:06] <abhijit> piero, i gave you link
[16:06] <piero> how do i do it
[16:07] <Dazzled> what would be the best place to look for some simple file i/o commands?
[16:07] <Dazzled> man?
[16:07] <violinappren> piero: you can't just set it to any IP, read on TCP/IP networking to understand what you're trying to do
[16:07] <bora> maybe i should try the daily svn of 10.10
[16:07] <epinky> !ot
[16:07] <Guest32263> netbook channel?
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> sprung: you're gonna have to do a rename then
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> Guest32263: ubuntu netbook remix / edition support is here
[16:08] <sprung> ActionParsnip, That essentially makes Archive Mounter useless.
[16:08] <abhijit> piero, if you want static ip then you need to contact your isp
[16:08] <idioteque> ActionParsnip, cool :)
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> sprung: well yeah as there is a bug....
[16:08] <Stratford> erUSUL, all that ws greek to me
[16:08] <Stratford> can you guide step by step?
[16:08] <Stratford> please
[16:08] <sprung> ActionParsnip, any alternatives you know of to archive mounter, which uses gvfsd-archive ?
[16:08] <killown> a couple weeks i am having problem with ubuntu lucid, after few hours some websites like youtube google library.gnome etc.. stop to work and it only work after reboot the strange thing is i have a virtual machine with ubuntu server 10.04 and i can wget google.com works fine but not on my ubuntu lucid desktop take a look http://bpaste.net/show/7979/ anyone help me?

[16:09] <sebsebseb> Hi
[16:09] <red2kic> sprung: Create a script that'll extract all files (FROM ISO) to a hard drive then eliminate ;1 -- It is way better than doing the task manually.
[16:09] <abhijit> hello sebsebseb !!! its me abhi_nav!!!
[16:09] <name> hey
[16:09] <erUSUL> Stratford: first command ( with sudo ) makes an image file of the floppy; second attaches the file image to a loop device ( so to linux is just like any other disk ) the third command scans that disk looking for partitions and creates the device files for them if it succeeds
[16:10] <sebsebseb> abhijit: Right ok :)
[16:10] <abhijit> sebsebseb, :)
[16:10] <sprung> ActionParsnip, mount works gvfsd-archive does not.
[16:10] <name> the mirror i am using went down. is there a comprehensive list of ubuntu mirrors?

[16:11] <ActionParsnip> sprung: the app is in ALL distros that use it so it isn't solely ubuntu
[16:11] <killown> need ask the same thing again?
[16:11] <sprung> ActionParsnip, looks like somebody abandoned development on this app
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> sprung: I can give you a neat script to throw into your nautilus scripts to mount ISO files if you want....
[16:12] <killown> abhijit, i need ask the same thing again?
[16:12] <abhijit> killown, no

[16:15] <killown> i have sure that is a ubuntu lucid bug
[16:16] <beppo> i have very poor performance when writing and reading from/to the array
[16:16] <killown> i had to do a fresh ubuntu install to confirm it
[16:16] <epinky> killown: do you have mtr?

[16:20] <epinky> killown: try with "www.google.uk" and check
[16:20] <rileyp> epinky yes I have but do i need all the packages i installed or only some of them?
[16:20] <red2kic> killown: From the looks of it, Google have shunned you. It is time to man up and use Bing or Yahoo! ;(
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> killown: bing is pretty decent
[16:21] <killown> ActionParsnip, red2kic after reboot ubuntu lucid it works
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> killown: what IP do you get from: dig www.google.com
[16:21] <killown> the google works pretty fine with windows seven
[16:21] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: uh Bing doesn't always show honest results apprently
[16:21] <killown> why i am having this issue with ubuntu lucid
[16:21] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: when searching for open source stuff
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: works fine here, ive even used it to help you
[16:21] <killown> epinky does not work too
[16:21] <epinky> rileyp: it'd be better to install what the guide says
[16:21] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: to help me?
[16:21] <castellano> hay alguien que parle castellano
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: and find links etc
[16:22] <madlatvian> anyone from Australia
[16:22] <epinky> killown: you're on Brazil then try "www.google.com.ar"
[16:22] <killown> epinky, i am pretty sure that is a ubuntu bug, its happen with ubuntu server 10.04 in another machine who have another internet connection and another network card
[16:22] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: Plymouth?  well I really won't have much of a need for those links anymore :D since bye bye Ubuntu soon,  put another distro on instead :)  now that its actsualy messed up properly the install and I can't be bothered to fix it
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: yeah i'm leaning towards xpud more and more, even puppy
[16:23] <killown> right now i am in the side of a notebook with windows xp and navigating in the google note: its in same network
[16:23] <epinky> killown: that would be the craziest  bug I've heard of
[16:23] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: Mandriva :)

[16:23] <Stratford> ActionParsnip, how can i become a root user on a live cd
[16:23] <killown> sorry man couple weeks with it issue and everyday i need reboot the system, its getting pretty boring

[16:24] <rileyp> epinky Install the Apache Tomcat 6 Servlet Container (http://tomcat.apache.org/)
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> Stratford: by default you are the only user and the livecd user has no password so you can use sudo / gksudo without typing any passwords
[16:24] <killown> epinky, do i need make a screencast to prove what happen here? seems you not believe me
[16:24] <epinky> rileyp: according to your pastebin you've already done that "sudo apt-get install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin tomcat6-common tomcat6-user tomcat6-docs tomcat6-examples"
[16:25] <rileyp> epinky yes thats what i have I installed
[16:25] <rileyp> epinky so Im up to 3
[16:25] <epinky> killown: maybe proxy issue?
[16:25] <killown> epinky has no proxy here

[16:33] <ActionParsnip> killown: maybe someone else can dig the domain, see if they get the same IP as you
[16:33] <killown> http://bpaste.net/show/7981/

[16:41] <ActionParsnip> crim: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[16:41] <rileyp> epinky,   JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk6 at present
[16:41] <crim> action: no, but I don't commonly have problems with this sort of thing
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> crim: irrelevant, data can be ruined in transit. Check the data
[16:41] <crim> and the burned CD looked good
[16:41] <epinky> rileyp: hmmmmm, well it depends,on my system that would be the path /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun, check if /usr/java/jdk6 exists
[16:41] <crim> any idea what these symbols mean though?
[16:42] <crim> it's totally opaque to me
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> crim: you can check that too by pressing space on the stick man page and select check disk for errors
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> crim: it means "press any key to humanly interact with the system"
[16:42] <crim> wow
[16:42] <killown> how should i solve my problem?

[16:44] <Hilikus> hey guys
[16:44] <somedudeguy> hi.  So I'm trying to install ubuntu (xubuntu) on a firewire external drive on my macbook running os x 10.6.  The installer ran fine, but the Mac doesn't see the external drive anymore; i.e., it doesn't show up in startup disk and it won't boot from the external.  I've been searching online, and I can't find any documents that seem to pertain directly to this problem...how would I go about making a bootable, external drive with
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> crim: you wont get the iso test option on the cd, only test the cd
[16:44] <epinky> killown: if you're really sure it's a bug:
[16:44] <Hilikus> i'm having problems with mysql. it won't start at boot or if i do sudo service mysql start
[16:45] <epinky> !bugs | killown
[16:45] <Hilikus> but if i start it manually sudo -u mysql mysqld, it works fine
[16:45] <Hilikus> any idea what could be wrong?
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> somedudeguy: i'd ask in a mac channel, your issue is with the mac hardware not ubuntu
[16:45] <killown> epinky its not give me an error
[16:46] <somedudeguy> ActionParsnip: okay...can you point me in the direction of a channel?
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> somedudeguy: #mac
[16:46] <somedudeguy> kay, thanks
[16:46] <Rawk> can anyone help me with my NIC?  I have a RTL8139b on pci, only card I have been able to get to stay up consistently but it is very very slow on the download side
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> Rawk: are there any errors in the output of: dmesg | less    after a cold boot

[16:50] <rileyp> Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat6
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> Rawk: like firmware etc
[16:51] <rileyp> ${CATALINA_HOME}/bin/startup.sh
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> Rawk: does: ifconfig eth0    show the right link speed?
[16:51] <rileyp> This is like pulling teeth huh?
[16:52] <rileyp> epinky ${CATALINA_HOME}/bin/startup.sh
[16:52] <Rawk> ActionParsnip: looks right but RX has 1044 errors, which would explain upload being fine
[16:53] <acxty> HI guys, does someone know of a text based msn client different that tmsnc?
[16:53] <Beyecixramd> how can i search for duplicated words/lines in a text file and remove them? (and leave only 1)

[16:54] <rileyp> epinky sure
[16:55] <Beyecixramd> nvm, fixed it myself
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> Rawk: sounds like a crap cable or your NIC is bad, or a bad port
[16:55] <rileyp> epinky, http://pastebin.com/4e07zmmN
[16:55] <Rawk> very well could be a bad card, was one we had laying around in the office, thanks

[17:00] <epinky> rileyp: "export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat6"
[17:00] <rileyp> epinky,  http://pastebin.com/aCKJrhNx from when tomcat was installed

[17:01] <Dr_Willis> Gambino:  right clcikign there?  what are you even doing?
[17:01] <smooth_penguin> Dr_Willis: Im not sure I understand

[17:11] <name> what do you mean by 'will not shut down'?
[17:12] <zuher> soo, can any1 give me a tip of what I should try with my samba problem ?
[17:12] <name> does `halt` work?
[17:12] <acovrig> can I take an x11 app, run it over ssh, disown it (use screen), then re-attach it with the -X flag of ssh and get the x11 window back?
[17:12] <coz_> BlckHtCdllc,  mmm  have you tried    ctrl+alt+F1   log in  then    sudo init 6   << that will reboot the system
[17:12] <BlckHtCdllc> when i select "shut down" it takes me back to the login screen
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> acovrig:  not very easially.. (and perhaps not at all )
[17:12] <acovrig> BlckHtCdllc: sudo halt -p
[17:12] <name> BlckHtCdllc: try typing `sudo halt` into a terminal window and see if it works
[17:12] <rileyp> epinky, http://pastebin.com/GAPyrs5c sems ihave it running without error now
[17:13] <BlckHtCdllc> okay, bbs if it works

[17:13] <noob__> I want to install Xlibs for qt . can someone help with it ?
[17:13] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: as you know i just installed ubuntu on vps, but firefox close automatically !
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> acovrig:  i recall some 'tricks' ages ago to  let ypui move a X11 app from one display to another.. but it dident work very well.
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  im not even sure what a 'vps' even is.
[17:14] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: virtual private server
[17:14] <quickhelper> Hawkeye-X: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing under the Configure NAT section for the iptable commands
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  and that tells me very little also. :)
[17:14] <dr3mro> please help me to backup my google-chrome profile using ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[17:14] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: ignore what is it, it does not matter
[17:14] <acovrig> Dr_Willis: yea, me too, but I couldn't get it to work either, guess I can always get a cmd-line app equivalent
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  but run it from terminal.. look for error emssages
[17:15] <Parsi> ok
[17:15] <mikelifeguard> How can I set the default font to use for a document in OpenOffice? Every time I add a slide, I have to change the font for each textarea, when I just want to use the same font everywhere
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  firefox is also 'special' in how it runs.. if you ssh to a remote box and run firefox.. it CAN actually run forfox on the local machine.
[17:15] <coz_> yoshu,  I will be right back ...nature call :)
[17:15] <quickhelper> dr3mro: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8942937

[17:15] <yoshu> yeah
[17:16] <BlckHtCdllc2> which is good news, i suppose
[17:16] <Hawkeye-X> quickhelper: it doesn't help when I followed that doc and got everything else EXCEPT pptp/GRE (protocol 47) working.

[17:18] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: it's over vnc
[17:18] <metalgeek_Newbie> Hi guys, could someone please suggest a good web site for explaining some of the more complicated aspects of my bios, i keep finding sites but theyre allwell out of date and when i put in my model number only overclocking sites turn up.
[17:19] <quickhelper> sburwood: in terminal: sudo passwd <user>
[17:19] <sburwood> quickhelper: user?
[17:19] <quickhelper> sburwood: your username
[17:19] <pgpkeys> man passwd
[17:19] <sburwood> quickhelper: and that will change automatically the sudo password?
[17:20] <pgpkeys> root does not have a password. sudo requires you use the password of the user you are su-ing from
[17:20] <quickhelper> sburwood: yes, by changing your regular password for your username it will change the sudo password, now setting the root password is another story

[17:22] <cleifer> anybody know how to show the current kernel shmmax setting?

[17:22] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. what/where is the name of the remote desktop 'viewer' in Gnome/ubuntu?  If i got a remote box running vnc. just trying to connect to it.  I could install some othe vncviewer , but I thought gnome has one built in
[17:22] <BlckHtCdllc2> i performed a system update today in 10.0.4, and when I use the drop-down menu to shut down, it only takes me back to the user login screen. "sudo halt -p" works though. should I report this to sommeone?
[17:22] <sburwood> quickhelper: thx.  As you may notice, I'm a sort of n00b

[17:22] <quickhelper> sburwood: no problem, feel free to stop in here anytime
[17:22] <cleifer> wow this channel blows
[17:23] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: do you think it's vnc problem?
[17:23] <red2kic> Dr_Willis: vinagre, I think.
[17:23] <Beyecixramd> how can i delete everything after a # in a text file?
[17:23] <quickhelper> metalgeek_Newbie: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> red2kic:  there we go.. odd theres no ICON for that in the menus.
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> Beyecixramd:  with a sed script.  check out the various sed example/faq qweb sites
[17:23] <sburwood> bye everyone
[17:24] <quickhelper> Beyecixramd: can you give more details?
[17:24] <dragonlinux> bye2
[17:24] <pgpkeys> later
[17:24] <Beyecixramd> quickhelper: somethingimportant # something not important at all

[17:24] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  firefox is working fine here for me over vnc. Could be a Firefox issue.. hard to tell.
[17:25] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: but it's a fresh install of ubuntu
[17:25] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: i didn't touched it
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  that dosent prove its not a fir3fox issue..
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  perhaps you should update/upgrade the system - then see if it still does it
[17:25] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: it happens for all browsers
[17:25] <quickhelper> Beyecixramd: ok, in some type of configuration file, the editor of choice in Ubuntu is gEdit.  That program has a find and replace where you should put it find: "#" and replace ""
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  could be somthing to do with your VPS, 'shm' is some sort of memory access..  I think.
[17:26] <Beyecixramd> quickhelper: that'll only remove the #
[17:26] <Beyecixramd> quickhelper: i also want to remove the rest of the data until the end of the line
[17:26] <quickhelper> Beyecixramd: oh, you want the entire line gone, ok, yeah, a custom script is the only way i know of, as mentioned by someone else above
[17:26] <Parsi> aha
[17:26] <Beyecixramd> kk in #Archlinux they gave me an example, thanks quickhelper
[17:27] <dalton2345> hi everyone, dont know if i am in the right channel, does anyone know a movie playlist creator?
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> dalton2345:  a playlist for what player?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> Beyecixramd: have you asked in #bash  those guys got mad skillz
[17:27] <zuher> I can't log on on user home directory from windows, it says it's not accesible or I don't have permission what shoul I do ? :(
[17:28] <dalton2345> Dr_Willis: vlc, i cant create a playlist with vlc
[17:28] <preecher> no one answers in ubuntuone channel-im tryn setup ubuntuone for first time and keep getting message--Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to localhost:40365--can anyone help me?
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: ls can make playlists
[17:28] <pandora> hello im havung an issue with my macbook (triple booted) i think my grub is corrupted or something, when ever i try to load windows or ubuntu i just get a blinking curser.
[17:28] <quickhelper> dalton2345: maybe amarok might do it, it says it can create multimedia playlists
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> dalton2345:  why cant you? it has playlist features.. cant make one? cant save one? cant load one?
[17:28] <belkinsa> zuher: You don'y have prems to it.
[17:29] <zuher> and how can I fix this ?
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> zuher:  you did give the user a 'samba password' ? you did set smb.conf to share the home dirs?
[17:29] <dalton2345> Dr_Willis:  I know how to do it, but i create the playlist in vlc, i cant save it
[17:29] <belkinsa> You can't.
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: a playlist is simply a text file with alist of files to play. if all the files are in the same folder you can use ls with redirection
[17:29] <zuher> yes I did
[17:29] <Beyecixramd> ActionParsnip: good idea, thanks :D
[17:29] <zuher> I didn't gave it a linux password
[17:29] <dalton2345> ActionParsnip: whats ls?
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> dalton2345:  run vlc from terminal. see if theres any error messages
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: ls = list == dir (in windows)
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> zuher:  i always give the users a samba pass the same as theur linux password.
[17:30] <dalton2345> Dr_Willis: ok
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: if all the files for the playlist are in the same folder you can run:  ls *.mp3 > playlist.m3u     and you have the list
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> zuher:  then enable  home shares. then  i recall i have to use the full path to their home   ie: //servername/USERAME
[17:30] <pandora> hello im havung an issue with my macbook (triple booted) i think my grub is corrupted or something, when ever i try to load windows or ubuntu i just get a blinking curser.
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: you can do the same in windows but use dir instead of ls
[17:30] <quickhelper> zuher: are you using a ext2/ext3 reader from windows such as Ext2IFS_1_11.exe and reading a non-encrypted ext2/ext3 Ubuntu partition?
[17:30] <zuher> Dr_Willis : k, i'll try making a new user with same pass
[17:30] <BlckHtCdllc2> hi all, does anyone know the name of the software process that runs the bar at the top of the screen?
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> zuher:  thers the 'samba-docs' package that have several books on samba ussage. :) if you want to dig into it.
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> BlckHtCdllc2: gnome-panel
[17:31] <belkinsa> Gnome-panel.
[17:31] <zuher> quickhelper : i doun't know , i instaled ubuntu default mode ;P
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> zuher:  you DID install the samba service?
[17:31] <jesus_> Now I'm getting tired of this, and seeking help here. I have a tablet, worked ok (not good) in 9.10, works worse in 10.04. During first boots and boots from live medium, the pen is working. After installation/updates it no longer works. It does register the pen, but all movement sets the pen in the lower right corner. Can anyone help me with this?
[17:31] <BlckHtCdllc2> thanks action-parsnip :)
[17:31] <belkinsa> What kind of table do you have?
[17:31] <zuher> yes of course, i can access the right-click shared folders
[17:32] <belkinsa> tablet*
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> jesus_: then log a bug, if the pen is essential then use karmic, its supported wayyy into next year
[17:32] <zuher> but not the directories that requiere authenthification
[17:32] <quickhelper> zuher: i think ubuntu stuck you with ext4, which is not readable from windows, i'll post a suggestion to use ext3 for homes on brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[17:32] <jesus_> belkinsa, Fujitsu lifebook T series.
[17:32] <dalton2345> Dr_Willis: this are my last 3 lanes , i just cant see the playlist i saved, the folder is empty
[17:32] <dalton2345> [0x956a6f8] main playlist debug: rebuild done - 2 items, index -1
[17:32] <dalton2345> [0x99d4320] main input debug: Creating an input for 'maradona.flv'
[17:32] <dalton2345> [0x956a6f8] main playlist debug: no fetch required for (null) (art currently (null))
[17:32] <FloodBot4> dalton2345: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:33] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: i think it's memory problem, because there are 90MB free memory
[17:33] <zuher> quickhelper : k ,thanks . but I can access other folders from windows
[17:33] <zuher> only the ones that require user and pass I can't
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: are all the files in the same folder?
[17:33] <lcuk> jesus_, hmm
[17:33] <yoshu> coz_: the file is not executable for compiz effect as u provide me
[17:33] <violinappren> pandora: boot the live cd, use rescue mode/shell and reinstal grub
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> zuher:  sounds like miss configuring of your smb.conf then, or you need to give the users a sambapassword. or enter the share path/name properly.
[17:34] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: is there an app shows what applications uses memory?
[17:34] <lcuk> jesus_, i had same, but mine was linked to how hot the device was and wasnt driver related
[17:34] <quickhelper> zuher: that program *.exe above will let you read all, check if you have ext2/ext3 ubuntu partitions, and if you do you can use it to gain access to those directories
[17:34] <coz_> yoshu,   right click the file.... click on "Permission"  and tick the executable box
[17:34] <belkinsa> yoshu: You need mark it execuatble.
[17:34] <lcuk> it would flicker to the corner
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  'top' and 'htop'
[17:34] <sparro> is there a fix for the network manager problem where it incorrectly displays the red ! icon even when connectwd to wireless yet?
[17:34] <Parsi> thank you
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> zuher:  when you browse the shares do you see a 'homes' share?
[17:34] <dalton2345> ActionParsnip: prior to my saving yes, i created the playlist in another folder, but it doesnt exist, thats why i would to know if there's such a program that allow u to create video playlists
[17:34] <zuher> sec
[17:34] <pandora> violinappren how do i use rescue/shell? it just gives me 2 option, try and installl
[17:35] <jesus_> lcuk, as in high temperature?
[17:35] <sparro> any fix anyone, or is this bug just being ignored?
[17:36] <lcuk> jesus_, yeah in my case
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: i've always used ls. Use the terminal to change directory (cd) to the same folder as the files and run this: ls > ./playlist.m3u; gedit ./playlist.m3u            then delete the line with playlist.m3u on it, you now have a playlist
[17:36] <belkinsa> Dunno, did you try re-install it?
[17:36] <lcuk> i just gave up in the end and accepted my pen wasnt gonna work on that laptop
[17:36] <zuher> Dr_Willis : no I didn't found it
[17:36] <violinappren> pandora: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[17:36] <dalton2345> ActionParsnip: would it work with movie files
[17:36] <belkinsa> icuk: I had dead tabet pen also.
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> sparro: try wicd if its a massive issue, if you use 3G then stick with network manager
[17:36] <pandora> violinappren k i was just reading that as i ask lol thanks
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> zuher:  it could be your smb.conf is wrong. heres mine with my users 'homes' enabled as a share ---> http://pastebin.com/UGYQBUzt
[17:37] <jesus_> lcuk, ok... thanks I will see if thats it. I do need the pen, this is a work tablet, and I take notes on it.
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: it'll work with any media file you can  imagine
[17:37] <zuher> Dr_Willis : thanks, i'll try it now, brb
[17:37] <lcuk> jesus_, sure i understand
[17:37]  * lcuk takes notes all the time
[17:37] <karamorf> how do I get gnome terminal to pass the function keys to whatever I'm doing in bash?
[17:38] <sparro> the problem is that it prioritizes ethernet network over wireless so that even when wireless is connected it displays the ethernet status (not connected)
[17:38] <BlckHtCdllc2> okay i'm still stuck :/ i can't get my computer to shut down without going to terminal and typing "sudo halt -p"
[17:39] <belkinsa> Blck: Did you button break?
[17:39] <belkinsa> your*
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: works in windows too, you dont need a stupid gui app to make playlists
[17:39] <Nuka-Cola> Where can I find "Jockey" drivers? The "Envy" website says to use them, but doesn't offer a link, and I cannot find the website
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> Nuka-Cola:  jocky is a program in uubntu..
[17:39] <quickhelper> Nuka-Cola: http://packages.ubuntu.com jockey pulls from there
[17:40] <Nuka-Cola> thanks guys
[17:40] <Andy-at-home> guys, how can i add every permission and every user to every file and file in sub directories?
[17:40] <BlckHtCdllc2> belkinsa: typically, i've clicked the drop-down menu in the top right corner of the screen and selected shut down, but now that only returns me to the login screen
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> Nuka-Cola:  its the 'hardware drivers' tool.  the bianry name is 'jockey-gtk'
[17:40] <dalton2345> ActionParsnip: i will try your way, i put the files in a folder, cd to that folder, gedit
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> Nuka-Cola: evy really isnt advised
[17:40] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: maybe it's because i'm logged in as root?
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> Nuka-Cola:  'envy' site is proberly saying 'use the Jockey Program and let IT isntall tejh drivers as needed'
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  no idea.  theres no real need to ever login as root.
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: you need the command, if all the files have the same extension you can use that. eg: ls *.avi > playlist.m3u
[17:40] <Nuka-Cola> Well, this is my last attempt before reformatting. Having too many graphic/sound issues
[17:41] <Spanglish_7776> Andy-at-home: chmod -R perm dir
[17:41] <Spanglish_7776> I believe
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> Nuka-Cola:  system -> admin -> Hardware Drivers (is Jocky)
[17:41] <quickhelper> dalton2345: or find /directory -name *.avi >> playlist.m3u
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: if they are all different, leave out the filter then edit the file in a text editor to remove playlist.m3u
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: you can change playlist.m3u for wahtever you wish
[17:41] <yessir_turan> hello people.. i installed nvidia card and its drivers and my console resolution is messed up now.. anybody knows what to do?ff
[17:41] <Nuka-Cola> well crap, it doesn't install any new driver then?
[17:42] <dalton2345> i'm trying 3 videos flv  cause they small,
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> Nuka-Cola:  it DOES download and isntall the drivers  that it finds you need.. thats its job.
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> yessir_turan: do you mean the res on boot or do you use an X-less system?
[17:42] <Andy-at-home> nah that didnt work
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: ls *.flv > playlist.m3u
[17:42] <MetalGeek_Newbie> Tried Ubuntu offtopic, its full of script kiddies ans smack talk, no answers
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> Nuka-Cola:  new machine.. i run hardware-drivers , click to tell it to install my nvidia and wirless drivers.. let it do its thang.. and reboot.. done.
[17:42] <Spanglish_7776> Andy-at-home: what command are you trying?
[17:43] <rss> hi, is copying & pasting text into java applets, not possible? I am getting a blank box instead of text
[17:43] <Andy-at-home> im just testing just now but my ftpuser has ownership of files i want others to use
[17:43] <yessir_turan> I use a system with X,but when I open virtual console using Ctrl-alt-f1
[17:43] <rss> is it a problem with the locale?
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: your terminals pwd must be the same as the files you want to add
[17:43] <yessir_turan> ActionParsnip: with X, but with C-A-F1
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> yessir_turan: ahh i see
[17:43] <Nuka-Cola> I was hoping Jocky/Envy installed different drivers than what I had. guess that's out :P
[17:43] <Nuka-Cola> that was my last-ditch effort before reformatting
[17:43] <Spanglish_7776> you want to change ownership? chown -R user:usergroup dir
[17:43] <ManDay> Does anyone here know what one can enter into the textboxes in "Extented Input Devices >> Keys" in for example GIMP ?!
[17:43] <Andy-at-home> cool ive got it
[17:43] <Spanglish_7776> Andy-at-home: also put sudo in front of that
[17:43] <Spanglish_7776> cool
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> yessir_turan: use the commands above the embedded video: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[17:44] <Dr_Willis> Nuka-Cola:  drivers for what devices?
[17:44] <dalton2345> ActionParsnip: ok i cd the playlist folder, sorry to ask again, but do i do now
[17:44] <BlckHtCdllc2> belkinsa: if i hold down the power button for five seconds it will cut the power, but obvs. that's not the same as shutting down
[17:45] <Nuka-Cola> nvidia geforce 9800gt
[17:45] <anki_> hey guys
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: ls *.flv > playlist.m3u
[17:45] <dalton2345> i need to write that in the terminal thats it?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> Nuka-Cola: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> BlckHtCdllc2:  you can also hit alt-ctrl-delete at the right places and it should shutdown, or reboot, Your  issue is that from GNOME it dosent shutdown/power off properly right? how about from the GDM screen?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: yes, its the exact command
[17:46] <anki_> hey guys i should need help Im using grub and I want to make dualboot to windows but I dont know which disc /partition is windows please help me
[17:46] <quickhelper> Nuka-Cola: its a large 80 mb file, so be preparted for that when downloading nvidia-glx-185
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> anki_: sudo fdisk -l    should tell you
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> Nuka-Cola:  i got an 8800 gts here. :() I thought that card was very well supported by the nvidia drivers in the repos..
[17:47] <BlckHtCdllc2> Dr_Willis: i'm still a bit of a noob, so please bear with me -- when i click the top-right menu's "shut down" option, it goes to the login screen, rather than shutting down
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> Nuka-Cola:  or theres the newer ones from the nvidia seb site. (i never use those)
[17:47] <Vig> anki_: Did you read the How To on Ubuntu site?
[17:47] <anki_> actionparsnip the thing is I Got like 5 ntfs systems.
[17:47] <BlckHtCdllc2> Dr_Willis: sudo halt -p does work form terminal though
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> BlckHtCdllc2:  theres also a shutdown option on tha tscreen. or try 'alt-ctrl-delete'
[17:47] <dalton2345> ActionParsnip: hahahaha u make me happy
[17:47] <anki_> vig no sorry im not using ubuntu I dualbooting with gentoo
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> anki_: sure but they are on 1 or 2 disks, right
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> BlckHtCdllc2:  well if halt does work.. at least its not a 'bios/apci' issue then
[17:47] <anki_> 5 discs actionsparsnip
[17:47] <dalton2345> ActionParsnip: ty very much,,,, i own u one big time
[17:48] <BlckHtCdllc2> Dr_Willis: okay, i'll try that, but yeah. it worked fine until i uppdated this monring
[17:48] <rss> hi, is copying & pasting text into java applets, not possible? I am getting a blank box instead of text
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: its so easy dude :)  no need for dumb playlist editors now
[17:48] <dalton2345> ActionParsnip: its a great trick...u saved my life really
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> BlckHtCdllc2:  ive heard of some others with similer issues.. but ive not tried.. I got 3+ days of uptime on thios machine. :)
[17:48] <dalton2345> loll
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: you can do the same in windows, just change ls for dir ;)
[17:48] <BlckHtCdllc2> Dr_Willis: is there somewhere I should report the bug? or should i just wait and hope a subsequent update fixes it?
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> dalton2345: some sites CHARGE for playlist makers too....
[17:49] <Vig> nanki_: So it would be a triple boot?
[17:49] <zuher> Dr_Willis : it worked, i can now access homes (with no authentification) , but what I want to do is to make user/password protected folders, and to access them from windows, how can I do that ? if you got a good tut it's fine
[17:49] <anki_> well I do all manual I mount the ext2 system also edit grub thanks btw ,
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> anki_: the names of the disks will let you know which is which'
[17:49] <Nuka-Cola> well, maybe you could answer this. I'm getting "Desktop effects could not be enabled" when changing the visual effects. I think it may have something to do with "xorg.conf" I have a post in the forums if you'd be up to check it out
[17:49] <finemann> hi, when i ran a *.jar file, i got this output -> http://gist.github.com/478617. anyway i might run the file?

[18:05] <MetalGeek_Newbie> violinappren, Sorry, Whats that got to do with the error message i got?
[18:05] <quickhelper> MetalGeek_Newbie: ActionParsnip has it right, i would look at another room such as #linux if you don't want to register with freenode
[18:05] <Vig> Parsi: You are welcome.
[18:05] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: some channels you need to be registerd on the network for
[18:05] <sebsebseb> !register | MetalGeek_Newbie
[18:05] <MetalGeek_Newbie> cool, i getya
[18:05] <MetalGeek_Newbie> Are there any drawbacks
[18:06] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: to what?
[18:06] <quickhelper> MetalGeek_Newbie: you have to read the terms of agreement and privacy policies
[18:06] <MetalGeek_Newbie> Registering
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> MetalGeek_Newbie: none at all, also means when we see your name we know its you
[18:06] <whysoserious> Just one question
[18:06] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: MetalGeek_Newbie  well if nick protection is turned on
[18:06] <whysoserious> Cai I log into IRC chat?
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> MetalGeek_Newbie: and not some guy using your name (like the guy on twitter with my name grrrrr)
[18:06] <whysoserious> ICQ
[18:06] <MetalGeek_Newbie> Do i have to include the Newbie, I hope to drop that in a couple of years lol
[18:06] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: put nick protection on once registerd, or other people can use your name
[18:06] <whysoserious> ICQ
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  there are Im clients out that do ICQ.
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: you can use pidgin for that
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> !im | whysoserious
[18:06] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: and yeah I woudn't suggest registering a name with newbie in it :)
[18:07] <whysoserious> Yes
[18:07] <whysoserious> I mean
[18:07] <MetalGeek_Newbie> but i am
[18:07] <whysoserious> To log in just ONE SOFTWARE
[18:07] <whysoserious> Same here, same ther
[18:07] <whysoserious> e
[18:07] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: call yourself MetalGeek or something like that :)
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: yes, pidgin is multiprotocol
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  you are not being clear..
[18:07] <sammyboy405> Is there a good IRC channel to Ask Wine Questions?  Ive got an odd Windows DVR Security Camera App I cant get to work under Wine.
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  i find dedicated IRC clients MUCH better at IRC then the IM-Multi protocall clients
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: youo would fire up pidin and can access all protocols from there
[18:08] <whysoserious> Try ICQ chat, on the website interface
[18:08] <whysoserious> That sucks
[18:08] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: and not all channels on here are support channels, so would look a bit silly to have a name with newbie in them :D
[18:08] <whysoserious> Allright
[18:08] <whysoserious> My point is
[18:08] <sammyboy405> im using Smuxi IRC program.  Works really great
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> I dont plan on ever using ICQ ever again. :)  so no thanks..
[18:08] <Parsi> Vig: how can i replace window manager? i installed openbox
[18:08] <whysoserious> Where to create one single account to IRC and ICQ chat for exmple to one just Software to log
[18:08] <quickhelper> sammyboy405: most windows dvr security cam apps use IE, which wine supports, at least IE6, check to see if you cam supports that, or try winehq.org
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> Parsi: alt+f2    type: openbox --replace
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  at the gdm login screem.. or if using vnc. you edit your .vnc/xstartup script and restart vnc.
[18:09] <MetalGeek_Newbie> sebsebseb, Thanks for the thought.  I was using it to help people be patient with me
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: yes, pidgin
[18:09] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: and you don't need to say in the IRC nick that your a newbie  to something :)  can say it in messages in the channel, if you really want to, instead :)
[18:09] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: by the way
[18:09] <sebsebseb> !manual | MetalGeek_Newbie
[18:09] <whysoserious> I'll go for it
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: you apply all the protocols and accounts you want and its all handled from one place
[18:09] <Gambino> I just used WINE to install mIRC, but Ubuntu can't load a theme because of a missing font. Instead of Fixdeys, what is the xchat font?
[18:09] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: what should i write there? (sorry i don't know)
[18:10] <whysoserious> Alright fellas
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> Gambino: for which part?
[18:10] <Gambino> The input.
[18:10] <oddtod> i have a broadcom BCM4322 its showing up at Eth1 is this supposed to be thatway?
[18:10] <killown> epinky, you remember of my problem? google is working with proxy http://zend2.com
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  write where> in the xstartup ? you tell it to load the window manager you want to use.
[18:11] <whysoserious> Well, I have the software now on my system
[18:11] <Gambino> Monospace9?
[18:11] <quickhelper> oddtod: it should be okay, some adapters are eth0 some eth1
[18:11] <whysoserious> But
[18:11] <whysoserious> WHERE... to create an account for ICQ and IRC
[18:11] <whysoserious> Thats my point
[18:11] <whysoserious> Because, you see
[18:11] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: in xstartup, i should add openbox? or replace x-winodw-manager with openbox?
[18:11] <whysoserious> Everyone that loggs here show his own IP
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: click accounts -> manage accounts
[18:11] <MetalGeek_Newbie> so do i just put  /msg NickServ register MetalGeek?
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  think about it.. you dont need to run 2 window managers.. so replace it..
[18:11] <whysoserious> You know what I mean
[18:11] <slinker1> killown i blame hugo ;)
[18:11] <realmatt> how easy is it to watch a blueray movie in ubuntu?
[18:11] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: ok it was hardware you were asking about not Ubuntu,  well even so the manual might be useful in the future for something :)
[18:12] <whysoserious>  realmatt (~matt@68.153.117.232)
[18:12] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: sorry sorry, yes
[18:12] <oddtod> Hmmm i cannot connect to a networking using MSChapv2 for authentication with it it just searches for long periods of time
[18:12] <whysoserious> Show his IP on the login
[18:12] <Vig> Parsi: Restart usually activates it,
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> !cloak | whysoserious
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: what you got to hide?
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> !blueray
[18:12] <whysoserious> It was said to me, that you having an valid account, do not show the IP anymore on log
[18:12] <MetalGeek_Newbie> sebsebseb, Went to the manual before even coming to bother you great people
[18:12] <whysoserious> *if you
[18:13] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek_Newbie: oh
[18:13] <eric> hi i need some help install ssh
[18:13] <eric> server
[18:13] <whysoserious> To hide, because...
[18:13] <whysoserious> you know
[18:13] <whysoserious> Let me ask
[18:13] <whysoserious> Who is using Pidgin ritght now?
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: ease up on the enter key dude
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: me
[18:14] <sebsebseb> whysoserious: not right now, but yes I use Pidgin :)
[18:14] <whysoserious> Awesome
[18:14] <ikonia> whysoserious: this is an ubuntu support channel. What is your ubuntu support question
[18:14] <whysoserious> And about the interface?
[18:14] <violinappren> Guest98811: apt-get install openssh-sever
[18:14] <whysoserious> Its bettern than on xchat?
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: better implys a best which doesnt exist
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  i perfer actual IRC clients for 'irc'
[18:14] <ikonia> whysoserious: that's personal taste, try both see what you like
[18:14] <oddtod> whysoserious; i use pidgin for aim / google chat and other thins but xchat for irc i just like the interface
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: it is an irc client
[18:14] <whysoserious> I will
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  but i ONLY irc.. so i stick to dedicated iurc clients
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: some love it, some hate it
[18:14] <whysoserious> Just hate to show the IP on the log
[18:14] <crim> why: irssi is a very good console client
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  its not dedicated to just irc.
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: doesnt mean its not a client though
[18:15] <eric_> hi i need help with openssh server
[18:15] <realmatt> I just wanted to know how easy it was to watch a blueray movie in ubuntu
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  if you are going to just irc every so often - then learn to use it.
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> eric_: sup
[18:15] <whysoserious> lol
[18:15] <eric_> ActionParsnip i need help
[18:15] <whysoserious> I agree
[18:15] <violinappren> eric_: told you, apt-get install openssh-sever
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: why do you hate it?
[18:15] <whysoserious> Sorry, first time
[18:16] <oddtod> eric_; he's asking you to explain where you're stuck and what you wnat to do
[18:16] <whysoserious> Just chatting
[18:16] <MetalGeek> I'm official :P
[18:16] <sebsebseb> whysoserious: most Desktop Linux users think that Pidgin and I guess Empathy as well, aren't that good for IRC.  Xchat is rather popular, but I am quite the Konversation fan myself :)  KDE app though, will want to put KDE stuff on if you don't  already have that,  not a problem at all,  as long as your partition isn't really silly sized.  Also Linux distros are basically designed to have loads of programs installed without issues, unlike Windows :)
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  check #ubuntu-offtopic for reccomendations then.
[18:16] <ikonia> whysoserious: check the topic of this channel with the "/topic" command
[18:16] <eric_> i am trying to edit a file
[18:16] <eric_> sshd config
[18:16] <violinappren> eric_: please state exactly your problem all in one line
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> eric_: gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config    or for command line:   sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[18:17] <karamorf1> well I sure have done it now ... gnome terminal wasn't sending the function keys to whatever was running so I started messing with various stuff (mostly the term env variable). Now however function keys don't do anything for any program. Any suggests on what to look at to fix this?
[18:17] <realmatt> !blueray
[18:17] <MetalGeek> Dr_Willis, What can be done about the kids in the off topic channel. I got nothing but water bottles thrown and abuse?
[18:17] <eric_> k sorry
[18:17] <slinker1> whysoserious irsssi and screen ftw :)
[18:17] <eric_> thx
[18:17] <ikonia> !bluray
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> I perfer 'weechat' for text based irc clients
[18:17] <sebsebseb> whysoserious: and if you want IRC in the terminal, theres IRSSI and weechat
[18:17] <realmatt> !bluray
[18:17] <bihari> i have question can i compile gcc on my ubuntu
[18:17] <crim> action: thanks for the sanity check earlier with the install cd boot screen
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> theres no blueray factoiod. :)
[18:17] <^peanut^> whysoserious: ex irssi user here...weechat rocks =)
[18:17] <peaceful_warrior> Hi.
[18:17] <ikonia> bihari: if you have to ask you really shouldn't
[18:17] <crim> ttfn
[18:17]  * ActionParsnip prefers pidgin as he has been using it for the last 10 years
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> bihari:  you shoudl be able to.. but why do you need to?
[18:18] <MetalGeek> peaceful_warrior, hi
[18:18] <violinappren> !hi | peaceful_warrior
[18:18] <ikonia> bihari: ubuntu has a packaged gcc version, is there a problem with it
[18:18] <whysoserious> Man
[18:18] <Abhijeet> bihari, why do u want to compile gcc..
[18:18] <whysoserious> To use Pidgin I have to be an account at firt
[18:18] <whysoserious> o.O
[18:19] <ikonia> whysoserious: all IM services need you to have an account
[18:19] <whysoserious> And how do I know that I will drop here on my login also?
[18:19] <whysoserious> O.o
[18:19] <peaceful_warrior> I installed wine through synaptic, then I downloaded yahelite yahoo chat program for windows, when it try to run it with wine it says "not marked as executable" and it says something about executable bit... please help
[18:19] <bihari> i need it coz
[18:19] <ikonia> bihari: because what ?
[18:19] <whysoserious> Dude, we are LOST.
[18:19] <whysoserious> lol
[18:19] <ikonia> whysoserious: sorry you're lost ? what's up ?
[18:19] <bihari> i am learning c and the book whic i am using for C need some config like it shud have
[18:19] <ikonia> bihari: such as
[18:20] <Abhijeet> bihari, do u have any specific requirement.... which is not available on gcc
[18:20] <ikonia> bihari: what do you need that's not in the gcc package for ubuntu
[18:20] <bihari> console shell -bash graphical shell KDE 301 -10
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: yeah setup an account then appy it there
[18:20] <ikonia> bihari: that's nothing to do with gcc
[18:20] <bihari> EDITAR - KWRITE
[18:20] <whysoserious> Well, first of all, at my begging here, I was used to try my bada english
[18:20] <ikonia> bihari: they are linux desktop tools, nothing to do with gcc
[18:20] <whysoserious> But I kind hate that interface of Xchat IRC
[18:20] <ikonia> whysoserious: don't worry, your English is fine
[18:20] <whysoserious> So
[18:21] <whysoserious> Ok
[18:21] <bihari> COMPILER gnuc AND C++ COMPILER this one required it the book which i am refreing
[18:21] <sebsebseb> whysoserious: for instant messaging services you will need an account, useually a email address.  For IRC you can useually chat without signing up on the network,  but its useaully a pretty good idea to register.
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> whysoserious: to log in to a service you need an account, go make an account on the site then log in with it using pidgin
[18:21] <peaceful_warrior> xchat looks cooler than mIRC
[18:21] <ikonia> bihari: ok, so opent he package manager, search for "gcc" then install it
[18:21] <ikonia> bihari: you don't need to compile it, ubuntu has a package built for you already, easy to use and ready to ho
[18:21] <bihari> but when i run some programme it does not give me the correct out put
[18:21] <ikonia> go
[18:21] <whysoserious> But, my point is... where to create an account, just one if its possible to IRC and ICQ (which I go here anda there)
[18:21] <Abhijeet> bihari, like
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> bihari:  could be your guides are out of date also..
[18:21] <bihari> i have gcc but i want to modifyed gcc
[18:21] <ikonia> bihari: what do you need to change ?
[18:21] <sebsebseb> !register | whysoserious
[18:22] <Abhijeet> :)
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  perhaps that program has some help/docs/webn site with a guide.
[18:22] <whysoserious> Yes
[18:22] <sebsebseb> whysoserious: pick a name you want to use on Freenode, and register it
[18:22] <bihari> yashawant kanetkar Abhijeet
[18:22] <joshua__> Please could somebody help with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9526889#post9526889
[18:22] <whysoserious> The name is : REGISTER
[18:22] <ikonia> bihari: what ?
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> mirc is $20 whereas native linux clients are free and will run cleaner, why anyone would use it is beyond me
[18:22] <sebsebseb> whysoserious: personalley I woudn't register the name your currently using though, if I was you
[18:22] <Abhijeet> bihari, do not refere that crapy book.. refre K & R c
[18:22] <whysoserious> Why not
[18:22] <joshua__> I'm experiencing ocassional freezes on boot.
[18:22] <bihari> i want to change gcc config coz i want to know how to change the config :)  just for knowlrg and curosity
[18:22] <sebsebseb> whysoserious: since you could come up with some better name, I expect :)
[18:22] <ikonia> bihari: that is a VERY advanced topic
[18:23] <whysoserious> It was said to me that, if you register an account you IP will not be shown anymore when you login here
[18:23] <Abhijeet> ikonia, :)
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> bihari:  learn how to compuile 'helloworld.c' first...
[18:23] <Abhijeet> :)
[18:23] <whysoserious> lol
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  what says that?
[18:23] <bihari> yes i know Dr_Willis  but i dont get the real result when i run on gcc
[18:24] <Abhijeet> bihari, check on the gcc irc...
[18:24] <ikonia> bihari: ok - so thats not a reason to recompile gcc
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> bihari:  we dont know what you mean by 'real results' or what youa re doing.
[18:24] <ikonia> bihari: that's something you need to work through with the books support resources
[18:24] <whysoserious> It was on Karmic Koala release, when I came here and complaing about my IP ant the others being showed
[18:24] <ikonia> whysoserious: that's an issue the admins in #freenode can resolve for you
[18:24] <Abhijeet> bihari, i d't think  anyone going to help you because you are getting something wrong output..
[18:24] <sebsebseb> whysoserious: ip address will show,  but people can  hide their hostname once registered, if they ask #freenode
[18:24] <MetalGeek> Ok so how do you tell a registered nick from others
[18:24] <whysoserious> So, it was said that just with an valid accnout on IRC
[18:24] <Abhijeet> this is ubuntu forum
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> whysoserious:  if you want your ip hidden on freenode. you use the 'cloak' feature of freenode.. thats about it...
[18:24] <Abhijeet> not gcc..
[18:24] <Loopta> anyone using vsftpd on ubuntu if you are using it do you know how to limit account per one ip with allowing multiple connections?
[18:24] <ikonia> MetalGeek: #freenode will help you with that
[18:25] <bihari> i think i shud try channel #c
[18:25] <MetalGeek> so /join #freenode?
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> Abhijeet: but its on the repo so is supported
[18:25] <whysoserious> Man
[18:25] <sebsebseb> MetalGeek: yeah /join #freenode or  depending on your client, click the link
[18:25] <whysoserious> This chat is really helpful, Linux rocks
[18:26] <Abhijeet> ActionParsnip, good, you support because some output is not coming as expected from gcc.. :))
[18:26] <MSHughes> Hello, anyone got an idea of how to delete all 'read' messages using 'mail' ?

[18:33] <peaceful_warrior> Dr_Willis you are correct, it worked, thx
[18:33] <quickhelper> klip_: maybe someone else knows, thats the only thing i would have thought of (not a mac user myself)

[18:38] <quickhelper> ajin: SBC doesn't protocol block ssh
[18:38] <sonu1> ikonia: my monitor turned off, but my cpu light still on, and my fan turned off.
[18:38] <ikonia> LukeL: why hit him with upgrade ??
[18:38] <ikonia> sonu1: ok - that's not your computer shutting down
[18:38] <ManDay> does anyone know the name of the notifier?
[18:38] <LukeL> he can upgrade from 9.10, no?
[18:39] <mushroomss> finally connected via irssi android phone
[18:39] <ajin> quickhelper, I'm trying to do it from the boot shell
[18:39] <ikonia> sonu1: do you have an ati video card
[18:39] <ajin> quickhelper, no ssh
[18:39] <ikonia> LukeL: he's doing an install
[18:39] <ajin> quickhelper, and it is impossible
[18:39] <sonu1> ikonia:  i got nvidia geforce 9400, 3.0ghs, p4, 500gb hdd .
[18:39] <sonu1> *ghz
[18:39] <quickhelper> ajin: sorry i don't know more, but it looks like u've solved it "it is impossible"
[18:39] <sonu1> and  1.5 gb ram\
[18:39] <LukeL> well he said he has 9.10 installed currently
[18:39] <serom> ciaop
[18:39] <serom> ciao
[18:39] <Spondodge> everytime i log onto ubuntu on my netbook
[18:39] <ikonia> sonu1: Hmmm that should be supported
[18:39] <Spondodge> it brings the keyring up
[18:40] <serom> lista
[18:40] <ajin> quickhelper, funny :-) but I don;t like jokes
[18:40] <Spondodge> and asks for a password before it will connect to wifi
[18:40] <Spondodge> anyway to disable it for the wifi?
[18:40] <Spondodge> or at least make it logon initially
[18:40] <sonu1> LukeL:  but i heard  9.10 can't be upgraded via lts release
[18:40] <beppo> anyone here using a dell perc 5 or 6 on lucid?
[18:40] <ikonia> sonu1: it can
[18:40] <beppo> i have very poor performance when writing and reading from/to the array
[18:40] <ikonia> sonu1: if you read thst instructions ubottu gave you it will tell you how
[18:40] <mushroomss> well this is not for ircd :-)
[18:40] <Gordon_Gwas> does anyone know how I can make the Update manager shield appear on my panel?
[18:40] <mushroomss> byee
[18:41] <sonu1> but i've given only  8 gb space to 9.10. how can i increase it further?
[18:41] <ikonia> sonu1: you need to resize the partition using gparted running from a livecd
[18:41] <xangua> Gordon_Gwas: shield¿¿ you men the notification icon¿¿ do you have the notification area in your panel¿
[18:41] <DavidJHeinrich> hi all, how do I compile a program to use 4 cores with GCC?
[18:41] <sonu1> ikonia:   won't it corrupt the already isntalled files on that partitions?
[18:41] <DavidJHeinrich> I'm trying to find the option, but GCC's help file is confusing
[18:41] <preecher> my mic is workin fine but i cant get voice in pidgen any help here?
[18:41] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: just at things like make -j
[18:41] <ikonia> sonu1: no
[18:41] <LukeL> DavidJHeinrich make -j4
[18:42] <guest1> gparted is workin' well
[18:42] <Gordon_Gwas> xangua, yes I am talking about the update notification icon. Yes the area is there but it is empty
[18:42] <micah> I need help with gimp image editor
[18:42] <sonu1> ok then... let me upgrade my system thenn.. goodbye guyss.. will come back soon :P
[18:42] <micah> I need help with gimp image editor
[18:42] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia -- well, I ave an actual program.c file that I'm compiling, wouldn't I use gcc -o file program.c ?
[18:42] <quickhelper> Gordon_Gwas: add to brainstorm.ubuntu.com it should be added here: system -> administration -> update manager -> settings (authenticate here) -> one of the tabs
[18:42] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: you can do it that way yes
[18:42] <micah> anyone know about gimp image editor?
[18:42] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: is the option in gcc also -j ?
[18:42] <ikonia> micah: people in #gimp do
[18:43] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: no, I don't think so
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> micah:  and its got webs sites and docs all over the place...
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> micah:  but yovue not actually stated your exact issue.
[18:43] <DavidJHeinrich> so what's the gcc quad-core option?
[18:44] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: I'm just reading now, and it should use all cores by default
[18:44] <Gordon_Gwas> quickhelper, unfortunately I cannot find anything in the settings - authentication tab :(
[18:44] <micah> I did a text edit on a picture and when i save it only saves that text and wont take away the yellow and black box from around the text
[18:44] <quickhelper> Gordon_Gwas: neither could i, thats why you should add it to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[18:44] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: u mean gcc will compile the program to use all cores on the available architecture by default, or it will itself use all cores to compile the program?
[18:44] <micah> what is the #gimp thing?
[18:44] <Gordon_Gwas> quickhelper, I will add it now.. it is something that Mint distro has
[18:44] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: it will use all cores it can for that job at compile time
[18:44] <xangua> Gordon_Gwas: just open "gconf-editor" then you go to apps/update-notifier/autolaunch ; unmark it
[18:45] <xangua> that's all
[18:45] <ikonia> micah: it's a channel, type "/join #gimp"
[18:45] <micah> anyone know about text editing on gimp image editor?
[18:45] <ikonia> micah: stop asking and start listening
[18:45] <micah> "/join #gimp?
[18:45] <ikonia> micah: /join #gimp
[18:45] <micah> tytyttytytytytyt
[18:45] <micah> haha
[18:45] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: yea, I realize GCC itself will use all cores ot compile...but I want it to compile the program such that he program itself uses all cores
[18:45] <Gordon_Gwas> xangua, is it going to make it appear in the Panel?
[18:46] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: that's nothing to do with the compiler, that's the program being smp aware, and linking against a libc target that's smp aware (ubuntu is)
[18:46] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: ahh
[18:46] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: so then if the program is smp aware, then this should work "gcc -O2 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -mcpuq=core2 -o tiff2raw tiff2raw.c" right?
[18:46] <micah> no one in gimp
[18:46] <micah> last discussion was over a year ago lol
[18:47] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: you don't need the -marc=core2 or -mtune=core2
[18:47] <ikonia> micah: yes there is
[18:47] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: why not?
[18:47] <micah> ??
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> 49 people in #gimp
[18:47] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: sorry, I'll re-phrase that, you can use them, if you want, but be aware they won't always give you a benifit, in the same way -O3 won't
[18:48] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: should I use -mcpu=core2 though?
[18:48] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: do you fully understand the implications of using it ?
[18:48] <Gordon_Gwas> Thank you quickhelper and xangua :)
[18:48] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: do you think it will give you performance boosts ?
[18:48] <burlock> hi, i was trying to install the virtualbox-3.2 package, but got a load of unresolvable dependencies, all of them packages that are installed in newer versions (e.g. libc6 2.11 => 2.10, libqtgui4 4.4.6 => 4.5.3) - how can i resolve those and/or install virtualbox anyway?
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> micah:  there are 49 people in my nick listing and    when i joined - it said there were 49
[18:49] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: nope, no idea
[18:49] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: ok - then don't use it
[18:49] <violinappren> burlock: are you trying to install from official repositories?
[18:49] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: I get a bunch of errors when compiling the program, even without those options
[18:49] <quickhelper> Gordon_Gwas: not a problem, im adding it to brainstorm.ubuntu.com for you
[18:49] <guest1> If if i'm upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 and gone will it install all right without me right near the computer? Or I should keep waiting and choose some options to upgrade right.
[18:49] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: ok - so adding compiler options will only make you have more problems
[18:50] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: what are you trying to build ?
[18:50] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: a program called tiff2raw
[18:50] <Gordon_Gwas> quickhelper, that would be nice :)
[18:50] <ikonia> guest1: once the upgrade is in process it won't ask you for much
[18:50] <anteaya> my friend has a gobby client installed, he is English speaking and is living in Portugal. The client is rendered in Portuguese and he would prefer English. Any thoughts on how he can set the language to English in his gobby client?
[18:50] <burlock> violinappren, not directly ... i added the virtualbox.org source provided on virtualbox.org
[18:51] <guest1> but i'm upgrading to lucid and after myworkday need to make dpkg
[18:51] <wildc4rd> evening all
[18:51] <violinappren> burlock: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[18:52] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: here's the result of running a gcc like so, "gcc -O2 -o tiff2raw tiff2raw.c" : http://pastebin.com/epJ638jM
[18:52] <DavidJHeinrich> "
[18:52] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: massive incompatibility with headers
[18:52] <Gordon_Gwas> bye all!
[18:53] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: what does that mean?
[18:53] <ikonia> DavidJHeinrich: you'll need to talk to the software maintainers to get it compatible with modern distros
[18:54] <DavidJHeinrich> ikonia: ahh, k
[18:56] <martin___> What good commercial games for Linux do you recommend?
[18:56] <burlock> violenappren, thanks, got it now. i am running on mint helena which is based on karmic. i accidentily added the lucid source. so, thanks for the reminder :)

[18:57] <[4-tea-2]> Howdy. Anyone using Gwibber with multiple accounts? According to gwibber.org the account buttons below the text entry box are supposed to toggle what accounts to use for a message. Does that work for you?
[18:57] <oCean_> martin___: this channel is for technical issues only. Feel free to join #ubuntu-offtopic for other questions
[18:58] <martin___> oCean_: Cool, OK, thanks.

[19:00] <oCean_> NeedHelp: backtrack is NOT supported here
[19:00] <quickhelper> NeedHelp: /join #ubuntu-de
[19:00] <xangua>  [4-tea-2]: yes
[19:00] <violinappren> what the heck is backtrack that everyone is blabbing about?
[19:00] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: how? Just click on it and the button displays a state change?
[19:01] <NeedHelp> und wo wird mir dann geholfen
[19:01] <oCean_> !backtrack > violinappren
[19:01] <prince_jammys> violinappren: a distro.
[19:01] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: when I click on those buttons, nothing at all happens.
[19:01] <oCean_> NeedHelp: this is english only. Type: /join #ubuntu-de for German help
[19:01] <xangua> [4-tea-2]: you have to press enter to send an update
[19:02] <xangua> the buttons are for temporaly disabling an account if you don't want to send an update to everyone [4-tea-2]
[19:02] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: Yeah, that's exactly what I want. But they don't seem to do anything.
[19:02] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: that's why I asked - if you click on those buttons, do they visibly change in any way?
[19:02] <xangua> [4-tea-2]: like i said you need to press ENTER to send an update
[19:03] <[4-tea-2]> Pressing enter does... nothing.
[19:04] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: will those buttons give any visual feedback to their state when you use them?
[19:04] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: ie. can you see which accounts are going to be used, perhaps because the others are greyed out or something like that?
[19:04] <xangua> 1rst write a message 2nd press enter

[19:05] <rsk> dma: gnucash maybe
[19:06] <oCean_> [4-tea-2]: have some patience? Do you realize it's all volunteers here?
[19:06] <dma> k i'll try thanks
[19:06] <quickhelper> dma: you can use wine to emulate windows software; or try gnucash or kmymoney2
[19:06] <dma> thanks
[19:06] <xangua> [4-tea-2]: if you send and update and you don't want to send it to X accoun just clic on it and it will be grayed
[19:07] <helo_> i've been encountering a problem in gnome (usually firefox) where i'll type a few characters, and then suddenly they are highlighted and my next keystroke overwrites all of them
[19:07] <xangua> i really have no idea how to say it simpler than that
[19:07] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: thank you. Doesn't work for me, I'll report the bug.
[19:07] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: I just wanted this bit of information, tyvm.
[19:07] <kbinghii> I have a question regarding mounting a droid in Ubuntu 10.04
[19:07] <helo_> use protection
[19:08] <slinker1> hehe
[19:08] <kbinghii> It originally was working, however, when I connected to the internet, it is now telling me it is not authorized and I can't seem to find the solution
[19:09] <helo_> kbinghii: sounds like a question for #android
[19:09] <abeck> HOw do I install an app that ends with a .BIN extention, such as adobe?
[19:09] <kbinghii> Nothing changed on the android, Ubuntu changed
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> abeck:  what app exactly? you 'run' bin files.. ( but there may be bette ways)
[19:09] <quickhelper> !bin | abeck
[19:09] <violinappren> abeck: make it executable and click on it
[19:10] <oCean_> abeck: make it executable (chmod +x file.BIN) and execute it ./file.BIN
[19:10] <abeck> ADOBE
[19:10] <sahilsk> ikonia: i got ubuntu iso image. can't i upgrade via it?
[19:10] <Dr_Willis> abeck:  some MUST be ran from the terminal.  adobe WHAT?
[19:10] <helo_> abeck: adobe is a company, not a product ;)
[19:10] <ikonia> sahilsk: you need the alternative cd
[19:10] <xangua> abeck: adobe what¿¿
[19:10]  * Dr_Willis deletes adobe. :)
[19:10] <helo_> kbinghii: so ubuntu is telling you you aren't authorized?
[19:11] <helo_> heh
[19:11]  * violinappren  has an adobe in the garage 
[19:11] <xangua> abeck: adobe air¿¿ flashplugin¿¿ you can find those in the partner repositorie
[19:11] <sahilsk> ikonia:  don't know why, but my cdrom seem to got soem problem.  so , neither from usb?
[19:11] <lcuk> Dr_Willis, the adobe object you tried to delete is protected by DRM, please retry later
[19:11]  * prince_jammys straightens out xangua's question marks
[19:11] <violinappren> xangua: he probably means adobe acrobat reader
[19:11] <abeck> adobe reader for Linux
[19:11] <kbinghii> exactly, I changed to administrator on the account, and when I first installed Ubuntu, it read it fine as a 16gb drive, no problems, however now it's saying that it's a motorola a855, and it's not authorized to mount the 16gb drive
[19:11] <ikonia> sahilsk: are you using the alternative CD ?
[19:11] <xangua> adobe reader it's also in partner repositorie i believe abeck
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> I dont even need 'acrobat' reader these days. :) theres nicer alternatives
[19:12] <helo_> abeck: yeah, i bet there is a repository that contains the package in proper deb format
[19:12] <ridin> abeck, if it's a bin file, cd to where it is, and then chmod a+x (filename) and then ./(filename)
[19:12] <kepp_rm> hi ever1 ...
[19:12] <helo_> abeck: have you tried using evince to read pdfs?
[19:12] <abeck> I will go check what the .BIN file is telling me
[19:12] <xangua> abeck: enable the partner repository in your software sources
[19:12] <quickhelper> !hi | kepp_rm
[19:12] <abeck> back in a few
[19:12] <xangua> !partner | abeck
[19:12] <Vig> Evince us great for PDF
[19:13] <Dr_Willis> !info evince
[19:13] <sahilsk> ikonia: it's a live cd image
[19:13] <quickhelper> vig: Evince doesn't open all types of PDFs though, sometimes adobe is needed
[19:13] <ikonia> sahilsk: no
[19:13] <Dr_Willis> 6mb in size. I wonder how large adobes acribat reader is?
[19:13] <etienne_> it is possible to do audio call with pidgin?
[19:13] <ikonia> shazaam_: you need to use the alternative CD
[19:13] <quickhelper> Dr_Willis: about 60 mb
[19:13] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: just to add one more detail to my bug report, if you hover the mouse over those icons, does it change shape (to the hand with the pointing finger, perhaps)?
[19:13] <helo_> the kde reader is a little nicer... okular i think?
[19:14] <sahilsk> darn... so i can't upgrade.. man... what now...
[19:14] <Vig> quickhelper: Are there any Upstream or Updates at GNU/FSF?
[19:14] <helo_> sahilsk: can your machine boot from a thumb drive?
[19:14] <quickhelper> Vig: maybe some in the planning, none i have seen released
[19:14] <sahilsk> helo_:  yes
[19:15] <etienne_> it is possible to do audio call with pidgin?
[19:15] <ikonia> shazaam_: you CAN upgrade, you just need to use the alternative CD image
[19:15] <xangua> [4-tea-2]: it doesn't
[19:15] <savid> Hi, I'm trying to write an upstart script, and the program I'm running seems to change pid's after the upstart script detects it.   Is there a way to work around this?
[19:15] <xangua> etienne_: with a jabber account, yes
[19:15] <ikonia> sahilsk: you CAN upgrade, you just need to use the alternative CD image
[19:15] <etienne_> thank xangua
[19:15] <[4-tea-2]> xangua: ty
[19:15] <sahilsk> helo_:  but my computer turned of, everytime i try to install ubuntu 10.04.
[19:15] <kbinghii> When it read it just as a usb drive, it had no problems mounting, however, now it reads it as the phone and drive, and it is saying it is not authorized
[19:15] <rocket161> How to build the source code of a project in glade?
[19:16] <rocket161> I am trying glade, and there is no option for building the source code, :(
[19:16] <violinappren> etienne_:  yes it is, but only to a user running pidgin on linux (and using jabber/xmpp)
[19:16] <quickhelper> rocket161: download the source of glad (tar.gz file) and cd to the directory downloaded and in terminal ./configure && make && sudo make install
[19:16] <sahilsk> ikonia: this one http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download
[19:16] <kepp_rm> can you please suggest me a open-source software for ubuntu which use internet connection and we can can listen all radios from world. i see that there are sites like this : http://www.mikesradioworld.com/ which are supports million radios channel all over the world. i do not think that they use their own server.
[19:17] <violinappren> rocket161: ask in #gtk ?
[19:17] <CAPcap> Hi i have Lucid installed I have Gnome, Xfce and Lxde installed for environments. Gnome and Xfce both connect to the internet with networkmanager but lxde uses wicd. wicd never connects it just sits there trying to get the ip address all day. if i alt+f2 and run nm-applet then i can connect but then im using the wrong thing. how do i get wicd to work properly? am i missing a component? is there a setting to adjust?
[19:17] <quickhelper> kepp_rm: consider shortwave radios or a computer that can use SDR (software defined radios)
[19:17] <Dr_Willis> kepp_rm:  try http://bcdef.org/antenna/
[19:17] <rocket161> quickhelper: Thanks, but I already have glade installed. I am asking, how to build the source code of a project, made in glade? I need to edit the callback.c file, to use GTK C.
[19:17] <webPragmatist> hey guys I have the status 4 error for ureadahead… how can i get to my fstab to fix this or otherwise disable ureadahead?
[19:17] <^peanut^> kepp_rm: not sure if it's what you want but have you tried pandora.com? it's a free online radio
[19:18] <quickhelper> rocket161: sorry, mistook your question, someone might know
[19:18] <violinappren> CAPcap: it's a very bad idea to have both network manager and wicd installed
[19:18] <Dr_Willis> kepp_rm:  i have seen  sites that stream from a 'real' radio You can tune :)
[19:18] <rocket161> quickhelper: Sure, thanks.
[19:18] <ikonia> sahilsk: looks good
[19:18] <quickhelper> kepp_rm: also, http://classic.shoutcast.com has a great selection
[19:18] <rocket161> How to build the source of a glade project from glade interface designer?
[19:18] <CAPcap> violinappren, how so?
[19:19] <violinappren> CAPcap: both try to control network interfaces
[19:19] <CAPcap> i can see having them both running as a problem.
[19:19] <violinappren> !ot | rocket161
[19:19] <CAPcap> but thats why im trying to get wicd working independently
[19:19] <violinappren> CAPcap: both have daemons that run in the background
[19:20] <quickhelper> CAPcap: btw, i would download all the debs for wicd and network-manager once you have a stable connection
[19:20] <rocket161> violinappren: I doubt whether the question I asked is offtopic, as it is related to Glade running in Ubuntu, using Ubuntu's GTK. And what I am doing, is devising the apps for Ubuntu.
[19:20] <Andrew9> how do i run network-manager-gnome from terminal?
[19:20] <kepp_rm> quickhelper: Dr_Willis:  you give me just a site :( i can find every radios from my browsers. but it is not comfortable like a software for my desktop :( but thanks for helping.. :)
[19:20] <quickhelper> Andrew9: sudo service network start
[19:20] <violinappren> rocket161: this is a gtk development question and s bets answered by developers
[19:21] <Andrew9> quickhelper: i need to run the applet
[19:21] <esmit> Hello friends, how I share files between to ubuntus in the same LAN without samba?
[19:21] <oCean_> rocket161: it's not that you have a technical ubuntu issue you like us to solve.
[19:21] <quickhelper> Andrew9: gksu NetworkManager
[19:21] <rocket161> violinappren: Well, I hoped Developers might be here. If not, no problem, I'll look somewhere else.
[19:21] <CAPcap> quickhelper, my connection is fine, i have all of the packages installed, nm works fine, wicd doesnt. maybe it was just a bad install. ive had other problems with lxde that were fixed by reinstalling their respective packages
[19:21] <esmit> Hello friends, how I share files between two ubuntus in the same LAN without samba?***
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> kepp_rm:  that site was to a download of the antenna program that i use to listen to online radio statiionz
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> kepp_rm:  i guess youdident look at teh site.
[19:22] <Andrew9> quickhelper: i am on kubuntu, i need to run gnome network applet i just installed
[19:22] <kepp_rm> Dr_Willis:  i looked. i will lok again. i have problem wtih english. i will go back if i cna not download it. thanks!
[19:22] <quickhelper> Andrew9: in ubuntu 10.04, running gksu NetworkManager pulls up the network manager for gnome
[19:22] <Dr_Willis> kepp_rm:  theres also 'tunapie' in teh repos
[19:22] <Dr_Willis> !info tunapie
[19:22] <violinappren> esmit: install openssh-server on both of them and use Places > Connect to
[19:22] <savid> oh, nm -- I needed to add "expect fork"
[19:23] <CAPcap> !wicd
[19:23] <esmit> thankyou <violinappren>, I will try that.
[19:23] <quickhelper> CAPcap: try running wicd from wicd-ncurses (command line version)
[19:23] <Andrew9> quickhelper: it's already running
[19:23] <Andrew9> quickhelper: i just need the applet
[19:24] <Andrew9> quickhelper: nm-applet
[19:24] <quickhelper> Andrew9: Andrew9: ok, thanks

[19:26] <jlebar> How do I get autoconf 2.65 on Lucid?  Installing the autoconf package apparently gets me 2.50.
[19:26] <quickhelper> ^Jay2^: in terminal you can use iwconfig and iwlist to show details of your network card's wireless settings

[19:30] <abhijit> m back!!!
[19:30] <jlebar> violinappren, Yeah...I think I was just being confused by the Debian wrapper to choose between 2.13 and 2.5+.  Apparently it says 2.5 when you ask for the version, but it's actually newer than that.
[19:30] <jlebar> Very silly.
[19:31] <quickhelper> ^Jay2^: i would try to enable rts on your wireless card using iwconfig (see man iwconfig in terminal)
[19:31] <^Jay2^> quickhelper:  rts?
[19:32] <violinappren> ^Jay2^: it's a broadcom, has no free drivers and is riddled with issues
[19:32] <^Jay2^> quickhelper: should i iwconfig eth1 rts auto ??
[19:33] <quickhelper> ^Jay2^: yes, and then run iwconfig after to see if rts was enabled, if not ur card doesn't support it
[19:33] <kepp_rm> Dr_Willis:  i install the tunapie . it is very nice. i am wondering : who is updating all this server list every time ? :) it is very interesting...

[19:45] <frex> Sna4x8: same here.
[19:45] <Daekdroom> O.o
[19:46] <Sna4x8> It says to use the open source ones, and the proprietary ones do not support the 9550

[19:47] <ottermaton>  What I have so far works fine. What I'd like to add is the ability to delete a backup after it is, say, 5 days old.
[19:48] <erUSUL> amin_: well; if the diesk is new just replace it ?
[19:49] <Sna4x8> ottermaton: You can get the file time, compare that to the system time, and delete it after said amount of days pretty easily.
[19:49] <erUSUL> ottermaton: find /backupdir -type f -mtime +5 -delete ?
[19:49] <[4-tea-2]> All that talk about disks makes me wanna swap one myself.

[19:52] <frex> erUSUL: if i install the driver from ati web site? is it good idea?
[19:52] <erUSUL> ottermaton: you do not need eval to run date; eval is evil
[19:52] <erUSUL> frex: that driver wont support your card; is too old
[19:52] <ottermaton> erUSUL, that would delete all older files (I think) which I don't want to do

[19:53] <robbit10> Hi guys. A feature i liked about iTunes is that it automatically sorts your music folder into Artist/Album/Songs folders, although i'd rather have the folder structure like Artist/Songs. Is there any music player in Ubuntu that provides this functionality, or is there a script available that does this?
[19:53] <erUSUL> ottermaton: filename="backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar"
[19:53] <ottermaton> erUSUL, what is a better way to get the date in the file
[19:53] <frex> erUSUL: it says it supports 9550.

[20:10] <ottermaton> erUSUL, oops, I forgot to delete that line. I thought bzip added the bz2 extension
[20:10] <violinappren> amin_: linux pretty much supports everything, ask the freebsd guys

[20:10] <erUSUL> ottermaton: bzip does; but tar does not

[20:12] <harlan> My housemate's desktop runs ubuntu, and last night we finally did the 10.04 upgrade.  When we rebooted the box the machine died trying to mount (by uuid) the root drive.  I suspect that perhaps a module that the box needs may no longer be present, but I'm not sure how to check.  Any suggestions on where I can look to get the box running again?
[20:12] <dragonlinux> nice bot :D
[20:12] <ottermaton> erUSUL, I was wondering why it was taking so long too. That redundant line explains it
[20:12] <kazagistar> [4-tea-2]: explain?
[20:13] <violinappren> harlan: what's the exact error message?
[20:13] <[4-tea-2]> kazagistar: using local services from the outside often is very easy using an SSH tunnel.
[20:13] <Aeronius> billy: are you good to go?
[20:13] <yoshie> Alien Arena Sound not working, any suggestions?
[20:14] <harlan> boot from (hd0,0) ext3 (horrible UUID number)
[20:14] <harlan> starting up...
[20:14] <[4-tea-2]> kazagistar: and to isolate your friends, you could put their gaming boxes in a separate network (like 192.168.42.0/24) and set up iptables/NAT rules so they can't talk to the rest of your net.
[20:14] <harlan> moint: mounting none on /dev failed: no such device
[20:14] <harlan> sorry for the obvious typos...
[20:15] <violinappren> harlan: try specifying the partition using the /dev/sdXN notation
[20:15] <harlan> then there were some suggestions on what to look for, and I get dropped into ash in the initramfs
[20:15] <kazagistar> [4-tea-2]: does ssh tunneling allow IP broadcasts, like samba and gameserver broadcasts?
[20:16] <harlan> do this from the grub menu boot, or do you mean running a mount command from the initramfs?
[20:16] <portuguesehacker> hey guys some help please? how do i copy a file to file system opt?
[20:16] <[4-tea-2]> kazagistar: no, it's just for plain old tcp connections.
[20:16] <violinappren> kazagistar: ssh tunneling is a "dumb pipe" it just does what the program being tunneled is capable of doing
[20:16] <[4-tea-2]> kazagistar: if you need to access your samba server from the outside, yes, I guess a VPN is the way to go.
[20:16] <Aeronius> where do you set up a directory to share online?
[20:16] <abhijit> portuguesehacker, sudo cp source dest
[20:17] <billy> Aeronius, nope :( ive found that my hardware drivers switheched of but when i try to turn it on it comes back with an error
[20:17] <[4-tea-2]> kazagistar: if it was just a webserver or "generic file transfer", SSH could be preferable.
[20:18] <kazagistar> violinappren, [4-tea-2]: thanks for the advice
[20:18] <effowe> in the console when files are red what does that represent? my /etc/motd is showing up as red
[20:18] <yoshie>  Alien Arena Sound not working, any suggestions?

[20:19] <effowe> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root
[20:19] <harlan> there should be more - that's a symlink pointing to nothing.
[20:19] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: broken symlink
[20:19] <dj> kl
[20:19] <dj> hi
[20:19] <effowe> well its pointing to /var/run/motd, which is also red
[20:20] <effowe> i was streamlining (trying to at least) my ubuntu server install the other day and the motd stopped showing up somewhere amongst the many reboots
[20:20] <Guest73333> hi, i have written a script to get my weather. i am able to get the results in nautilus
[20:20] <effowe> and by that i mean removing tons of non-essential packages
[20:20] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: actually, it's the same here for me, never noticed before.
[20:20] <Aeronius> billy: sorry, I don't know what to do from there, just google for it.
[20:20] <Guest73333> but i want to get the results displayed in conky..
[20:20] <Guest73333> HELP
[20:21] <Guest73333> hi, i have written a script to get my weather. i am able to get the results in nautilus.  but i want to get the results displayed in conky..
[20:21] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: I guess that's Ubuntu's way to encourage you to roll your own.
[20:21] <^peanut^> Guest73333: have you looked or searched google for conky weather
[20:22] <^peanut^> Guest73333: there are already scripts for conky to get the weather.
[20:22] <effowe> roll my own.. huh? like create my own motd you mean?
[20:22] <Guest73333> yes but the get scripts which can get wethaer ffor the americas
[20:22] <Guest73333> i am from INDIA
[20:22] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: yes, sure, it's just a text file. Put "Don't log in here unauthorized or I will kick you in the face" in there and you're done. ;)
[20:22] <^peanut^> Guest73333: Doesn't matter. all the info is pulled via a weather code. you can get that from weather.yahoo.com I believe for your country
[20:23] <effowe> well i edited /etc/motd.tail and put in some BS, I read that that would get updated after a reboot, but no all i see is my last login..
[20:23] <Guest73333> i have done so much to pull the in4mation to my pc. all i want now is to show it in conky.
[20:23] <effowe> or could i edit /var/run/motd manually creating a file which would in turn fix the symbolic link?
[20:24] <Aeronius> should I copy a folder for sharing on my server to mnt, srv, or home?
[20:24] <^peanut^> Guest73333: if you output your info from your script to a tmp file, you should be able to read that in from conky.
[20:24] <Guest73333> tmp file?
[20:25] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: to give you some background: the motd file is used on multi-user systems to send messages, usually about software changes or updates etc, from the admin to the users. Since you're the admin, the motd is yours.
[20:25] <Guest73333> temporary file?
[20:25] <yoshie> Help Please, Alien Arena Sound not working, any suggestions?
[20:25] <^peanut^> yes
[20:25] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: Perhaps Ubuntu broke the script that built motd by assembling uname -a and files like motd.tail.
[20:25] <Guest73333> i used this command exec in conky, but it dosnt work!
[20:25] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: if I remember correctly how it works in Debian, the file is supposed to be re-built (or updated) with every reboot.
[20:25] <^peanut^> Guest73333: have you taken a look at the conky website for the correct variables to use a custom script within conky?"
[20:26] <Guest73333> i have been doing that for 3 days now
[20:26] <harlan> If we only just upgraded to 10.04 I should still be using (old) grub, and not grub2, right?
[20:26] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: and, yes. Just create /var/run/motd and see if rebooting removes it. If not, you're good. ;)

[20:30] <yoshie> Ubuntu 10.04 64 Bit LTS, Alien Arena Sound not working,
[20:31] <[4-tea-2]> Solox: it would certainly help, you should probably be using 10.4 (lucid lynx)
[20:31] <billy> hi im using a toshiba equium laptop and ive just installed karmic my wifi wont work ive downloaded and installed the new driver for it ??
[20:32] <pkarasev3> #gsoc
[20:32] <om26er> billy, Lucid is the latest version. you could give it a try
[20:32] <ratcheer> yoshie: Sound not working at all?
[20:32] <bastid_raZor> [4-tea-2]: /etc/update-motd.d is the new place that holds all that. edit those files and it is reread on each login. no need for reboots anymore
[20:32] <[4-tea-2]> bastid_raZor: yeah, I just found out about the update-motd package. :D
[20:32] <om26er> !lucid | billy
[20:32] <yoshie> ratcheer , sound for my system, music, video movies all that works fine. Game doesnt give sound for some reason, I did a restart shut down and still nothing.
[20:32] <billy> om26er, i kow lucd is th new version but id like to get it workig on karmic first
[20:32] <[4-tea-2]> But I don't need a motd on my Ubuntu boxes anyway, they're all desktop machines.
[20:33] <om26er> billy, install the latest kernel, reboot and see if it may help. first which wifi is it?
[20:33] <harlan> So I got the box to boot using the drive name instead of by-uuid - should I just go in and hack up the menu.lst (or whatever) file?  Is there a better way to go (like autoconfigure the grub params)?
[20:33] <billy> internal
[20:33] <ratcheer> yoshie: Sorry, I don't know anything about sound for games.

[20:34] <harlan> I think the box is still running old grub.  I'll look at upgrading, thanks.
[20:34] <harlan> What sort of bot is ubottu?
[20:34] <billy> is there not a program for swithingon kde wifi devices
[20:34] <h00k> harlan: ah, okay, I'll throw you !grub then, too

[20:34] <yoshie> 4-tea-2: how would i go about doing that?
[20:34] <h00k> !bot
[20:34] <dragonlinux> billy, your wifi doesnt detect any wireless?
[20:35] <effowe> still having motd issue, I looked in /var/run and there was an motd.new file in there, i copied the file to /var/run/motd and it fixed my symbolic link in /etc/motd, i then started another ssh session and the motd showed up! great, so i rebooted just to test and no dice, there is no longer a /var/run/motd file, but there is a motd.net file, and of course the /etc/motd symlink is broken again.. ideas?
[20:35] <billy> my wifi wont switch on :(
[20:35] <harlan> thx h00k
[20:35] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: try pasuspend first, it helps with applications that can't talk to a sound server and will allow them to talk to the audio card directly.
[20:35] <metalgeek_Newbie> I can seem to change my account name
[20:35] <effowe> *but there is a motd.new file i meant
[20:35] <metalgeek_Newbie> I cant seem to change my account name, sorry
[20:36] <bazhang> metalgeek_Newbie, dont repeat so quickly
[20:36] <yoshie> 4-tea-2 ses command not found
[20:36] <dragonlinux> billy,  is there any button to switch on your wifi ? or does it switched on already ?
[20:36] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: hang on, let me see what package has that command.
[20:36] <^peanut^> metalgeek: you can add a new account to your system, then logon with that and remove the old account
[20:36] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: once you have registered a name, you can't just change the account name
[20:36] <prince_jammys> metalgeek_Newbie: your account in irc, or your user name in your OS?
[20:36] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: for IRC
[20:36] <billy> dragonlinux,  theres a shortcut key but it isnt working
[20:36] <harlan> who "manages" the 'bot?  I'm asking because we could use some help with our supybot/infobot on #ntp...
[20:37] <^peanut^> yea guess I should have asked if it was irc or local account
[20:37] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: as for Ubuntu its very easy to create new user accounts
[20:37] <metalgeek_Newbie> user name in your OS
[20:37] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: yeah you don't re name users,  you can create new ones though with another name
[20:37] <metalgeek_Newbie> sebsebseb, so is that what you suggest?
[20:38] <h00k> harlan: you could check in #ubuntu-bots
[20:38] <sometux> Is there a way for voice and video on IRC?
[20:38] <bazhang> sometux, no
[20:38] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: applications > assessories > terminal
[20:38] <^peanut^> metalgeek: Click System>
[20:38] <metalgeek_Newbie> K, My name in the top right says MetalGeek, thats what i wanna change
[20:38] <harlan> thanks again, h00k
[20:38] <^peanut^> metalgeek: Click System>administration/User and Groups
[20:38] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: packages.ubuntu.com claims it never heard of it, which is a lie. I deinstalled pulseaudio (because of an incompatible application that I use a lot), so I can't check locally, but I think it was in pulseaudio-utils
[20:38] <h00k> harlan: No prob :)
[20:38] <sometux> limitation by protocol?
[20:38] <bobboau> I'm haveing an issue trying to install on a server, it won't install grub2, it asks me to insert the disk labeled blahblahblahlucidlinxblahblahblah into drive cdrom, I'm installing from a USB cd rom because the server does not have a cd rom in it, and I don't have a spare available
[20:38] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: sudo adduser  the-username-you-want-here
[20:39] <Tig3rzhark> hi
[20:39] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: ah, correct, pulseaudio-utils it is, but the command is called "pasuspender" (note the "er" at the end).
[20:40] <Kaigeos> hello.
[20:40] <Kaigeos> !rules
[20:40] <metalgeek_Newbie> ok thats simple enough, what about metalgeeks data (pics,vids etc) sorry too used to windows
[20:40] <yoshie> 4-tea-2 ok so i use that command and than what?
[20:40] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: give it a good password, don't need to fill in the other details it will ask if you want to fill in.  and then if you want it to have sudo/admin/root rights and such,  like the default useraccount after installing Ubuntu.  I guess there are commands for that as well, but not sure about that, can easilly do it graphically though in user groups, found in the system menu.
[20:41] <Kaigeos> I'm useing 10.04 LTS and I need kernel headers here's the issue.
[20:41] <sometux> bobboau, I think  I read about a similar problem
[20:41] <effowe> ugh, ok solved the problem by making a new symlink in /etc/motd -> /var/run/motd.new and it stayed through boot, it seems like that's the file in /var/run now and any instance of /var/run/motd gets erased after a reboot., anyone know about this? something new in 10.04 server?
[20:41] <delinquentme> can anyone suggest a shortcut key that will actually SEND my windows between my workspaces ?? Ive tried the windows key (mod) as well as the ALT (along w the 1 2 3 4 for my workspaces ... non have worked yet :P
[20:41] <Kaigeos> my kernel is 2.6.18 and I can't find any headers on apt-get.
[20:41] <Kaigeos> there are newer kernels, like 2.6.32 but yet the upgrade to them won't take.
[20:41] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: find the command used to start your game, let's say /usr/games/mygame, then start it using "pasuspender /usr/games/mygame" and see if you got audio. If yes, great. If not, kick computer.
[20:41] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: you can copy them over with the terminal I guess,  or access the users /home graphically and do it
[20:41] <prince_jammys> effowe: i thought this has been this way for years
[20:42] <Kaigeos> and they have headers available.
[20:42] <metalgeek_Newbie> ahh, overload, I hate to ask but would any of you kind people have the time to go alittle more slowly so i can ask a couple of other questions. Please
[20:42] <sometux> bobboau, device name change after restart
[20:42] <metalgeek_Newbie> oh that makes sense
[20:42] <bobboau> any idea on how to fix this?
[20:42] <metalgeek_Newbie> i get it i think
[20:42] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: by the way, this
[20:42] <sebsebseb> !who | metalgeek_Newbie
[20:42] <effowe> prince: im not sure, i just started having motd problems after upgrading recently, i didnt make any changes (that i know of) but /etc/motd points to /var/run/motd which doesnt exist..
[20:43] <effowe> kaigeos: try sudo aptitude install linux-headers
[20:43] <prince_jammys> effowe: ah. see if ''man motd'' offers any details.
[20:43] <MikaelPettersson> anyone used to installing the server ed?
[20:43] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: also check out the manual, it probably covers the kind of thing your wanting to do,  and well other basics it will
[20:43] <metalgeek_Newbie> sebsebseb, i usually do, sorry was rushing in exitement, Just found linux, LOVE LINUX
[20:43] <sebsebseb> !manual | metalgeek_Newbie
[20:43] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: sudo apt-get install update-motd
[20:43] <Tig3rzhark> I'm trying to create a home ftp to share my files.  All computers have ubuntu but the desktop has a lightweight desktop version.
[20:43] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: I think that's the package we both were missing.
[20:43] <sometux> bobboau, edit the grub config file to point the actual root
[20:44] <effowe> 4tea: ah, update-motd is already the newest version
[20:44] <Tig3rzhark> anyone can help me establish a ftp server on the lightweight desktop version
[20:44] <MikaelPettersson> anyone knows why a USB keyboard doesn't work in the server install?
[20:44] <effowe> 4tea: yet uh, typing update-motd says command not found..
[20:44] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: dpkg -L update-motd
[20:44] <Solox> ok back (an error occurred invalid argument) can someone help with this
[20:45] <billy> would downloading kde airplane mode turn on my built in wifi?
[20:45] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: on my system (10.4, 64bit) there are no executables in there. ;)
[20:45] <metalgeek_Newbie> sebsebseb, I have the user settings in front of me It says Marcus Anderson (Me), then underneath MetalGeek but in grey
[20:45] <sometux> bobboau, So boot form Live CD and then chroot to your root
[20:45] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: yeah you can look at the settings for the  current user
[20:45] <bobboau> ok
[20:45] <effowe> 4tea: yeah im a tardo, its in /etc/update-motd.d ok, now to read about that :) thanks
[20:45] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: after unlocking with your password
[20:45] <sebsebseb> metalgeek_Newbie: and then give the same rights, to your new user
[20:45] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: I still believe it's broken.
[20:46] <[4-tea-2]> ...or at least very badly documented. ;)
[20:46] <metalgeek_Newbie> so make the new user first
[20:46] <effowe> 4tea: hm, im just starting to get into the bare bones of the system, ive never submitted a bug before, would this be suitable? eh i donno, gonna go pour through the docs
[20:46] <bobboau> right now im in the server install recovery mode, is that an acceptable environment?
[20:47] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: apt-cache show update-motd - it's definitely a bug, or the description is a lie. ;)
[20:47] <billy> doesn't anybody know how to turn on built-in wifi on ubutu
[20:47] <yoshie> 4-tea-2 game ran from terminal and all i could see of any kinda error was    dlopen() on libopenal.so.1 failed
[20:48] <Solox> is there someone that will help in a priv chat i dont know who talk to who
[20:48] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: good catch!
[20:48] <bazhang> Solox, better to ask here
[20:48] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: OpenAL is an audio library. Whatever that means. I bet it's related to not having... audio.
[20:48] <harlan> anybody want to express an opinion as to whether or not I should switch from grub to grub2 for the ubuntu instance on this box that has been upgraded from whatever version of ubuntu we started with a year and a half ago?
[20:48] <yoshie> 4-tea-2 hmm interesting....
[20:49] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: best case would be that the game is just missing a dependency (ie. a hint to automagically install a certain package). Then you would just have to find that package and install it.
[20:49] <Solox> ok tryin to install ubuntu 10.04 an get this error invalid argument
[20:49] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: perhaps "sudo apt-get install libopenal1"?
[20:49] <billy> can anybody help me with a wifi problem on a laptop????
[20:49] <yoshie> 4-tea-2 let me try that
[20:50] <prince_jammys> !wireless | billy
[20:50] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: best case: it installs something. worse case: it tells you the package is already installed and up-to-date.
[20:50] <ratcheer> harlan: I don't have a stron opinion, but grub2 works fine, for me.
[20:50] <billy> prince_jammys, its no use to me
[20:51] <prince_jammys> billy: give more details about your setup/card, and about what's going wrong, and someone might be able to help.
[20:51] <Solox> i didnt get a awnser for you
[20:52] <yoshie> 4-tea-2 lol, installed  ( sudo apt-get install libopenal1 ) now sound works fine for the game lol, good job
[20:52] <bazhang> Solox, you need to provide a much clearer and more detailed question, with error messages in a pastebin and so on
[20:52] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: excellent. If you want to spare others this pain, report "missing dependency for libopenal1" as a bug for the game.
[20:53] <yoshie> 4-tea-2 yeah just gotta figure out how to report that and i will
[20:53] <billy> i dont know what the card is its built in to the laptop its a toshiba equium i just installed ubuntu ive got all the updates and drivers but my shortcut key wont turn on my wifi
[20:53] <prince_jammys> billy: see if ''lspci|grep Network'' brings up the specs for your card
[20:53] <harlan> thanks ratcheer - I have been using grub for a fairly long time, and have been avoiding grub2 because it just hasn't seemed "ready".  But if that's the way folks are now headed, it may make sense to upgrade to it.
[20:54] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: somewhere around here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ - but there's probably also a local Ubuntu command and someone can tell a bot to explain it to us.
[20:54] <[4-tea-2]> Or not. :D
[20:54] <prince_jammys> !bug
[20:54] <[4-tea-2]> ty
[20:55] <billy> it comes up blank :(
[20:55] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: so it's "ubuntu-bug alien-arena"
[20:55] <neo> hola alguen sabe como usar un router como un adaptador wifi?
[20:55] <prince_jammys> billy: try 'lspci|grep -i wireless', and if that's blank, try plain 'lspci'
[20:55] <yoshie> 4-tea-2 .com? or just search it at google?
[20:55] <^peanut^> billy: try running  "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and see if your card is listed there
[20:56] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: no, enter as a command: ubuntu-bug alien-arena - and then answer a few questions.
[20:56] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: ...and then enjoy the game. :)
[20:59] <yoshie> 4-tea-2 thanks bug reported successfully, thanks again for the help ^^
[20:59] <billy> it just says softwae modem is installed and workig
[21:00] <[4-tea-2]> yoshie: my pleasure
[21:00] <^peanut^> billy: so lspci | grep Network, reports no device?;
[21:00] <^peanut^> billy: what is the model number of your laptop?
[21:00] <git__> how does one find who is connected via TCP/IP to ones laptop?
[21:01] <git__> is the command netstat?
[21:01] <oCean_> git__: yes, with the right options, like "netstat -anp"
[21:01] <git__> thanks ocean_
[21:02] <portuguese> hey guys in trying to use a command ./configure  but says no command found. some help please
[21:02] <billy> psa67e -00300c8j
[21:03] <oCean_> portuguese: ./configure is often used when compiling software from source.
[21:03] <prince_jammys> portuguese: there must be a file called 'configure' in your present directory in order for that to work.
[21:03] <portuguese> How to Compile Qt for OpenMoko (http://code.google.com/p/mokotouch/)
[21:03] <^peanut^> billy: thanks. brb
[21:03] <portuguese> how do i go about doing that prince_jammys/
[21:04] <prince_jammys> portuguese: they probably forgot a 'cd' command to change directory into the new directory extracted from the tarball.
[21:04] <VicLinus> hi
[21:04] <effowe> 4-tea-2: hey so i wanted to report a bug about update-motd, as it appears to update /var/run/motd.new instead of /var/run/motd as it should breaking the symlink in /etc/motd .. does that sound about right?
[21:05] <prince_jammys> portuguese: is there a directory 'qt-everywhere-blah-blah' in your present directory?
[21:05] <portuguese> yes in opt
[21:05] <effowe> !bugs
[21:05] <portuguese> file system /opt
[21:05] <portuguese> i still learning. lol
[21:06] <^peanut^> billy: so your laptop doesn't come with a built-in wireless card it looks like. are you using a usb wireless adapter?
[21:06] <prince_jammys> portuguese: go to where the 'configure' file is, and run ./configure from there. The "./" means "in the current directory".
[21:06] <portuguese> k will try
[21:07] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: what bothers me most is that the update-motd package seems to be missing all executables/scripts that the description tells us about.
[21:07] <savid> Hi, I can't get any sound output on my new ubuntu install (speakers plugged into "line out" jack).    I've tried the ubuntu troubleshooting script, and everything appears fine -- just no audio.   Here's my alsa info:  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=dab556a7cfd1a6f2af49e560eb867722597c35ed
[21:08] <barfster> Dr_Willis: Will this work? http://pastebin.org/399175
[21:08] <portuguese> i no this has notting to do with ubuntu thanks prince
[21:08] <prince_jammys> portuguese: success?
[21:09] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: hmmm. well. After installing the package, I now have a motd (containing the result of 'uname -a'). No idea where that came from. Magick!
[21:09] <prince_jammys> what you need is an update-update-motd package
[21:09] <[4-tea-2]> :D
[21:09] <effowe> hm, after installing update-motd you mean?
[21:10] <oCean_> [4-tea-2]: contents comes from /etc/update-motd.d/00-header
[21:10] <micah> can someone help? rhythmbox is on the fritz says: glib.GError: Bad Request
[21:10] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: all hail to reading skills
[21:10] <[4-tea-2]>  The functionality formerly provided by this package is now integrated into

[21:11] <micah>  can someone help? rhythmbox is on the fritz says: glib.GError: Bad Request
[21:11] <portuguese> looking for the configure in opt
[21:11] <effowe> 4-tea-2: ok, well i have libpam-modules.. um, what to do next?
[21:11] <guntbert> !repeat | Micheal`
[21:11] <prince_jammys> heh
[21:11] <guntbert> sorry, Micheal` wrong nick
[21:11] <portuguese> im just stuck on ./configure -embedded arm -v -qt-mouse-tslib -I /opt/toolchains/arm920t-eabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/include/ -L /opt/toolchains/arm920t-eabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/lib
[21:12] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: man pam_motd, perhaps?
[21:12] <prince_jammys> portuguese: after you untar the tarball, you should see a new directory. cd into this directory and then run ./configure ....
[21:12] <petebrew> Hi everyone - I need to install postgresql + postgresql-8.x-postgis + postgresql-8.x-pljava-gcj.  In Lucid there is, postgresql 8.2 and 8.3, postgis 8.3 (but not 8.2) and pljava 8.2 (but not 8.3).  I can't therefore get all three running together.  Anyone happen to know why the a newer version of pljava hasn't been released?
[21:12] <prince_jammys> the "tarball" is the .tar.gz, or .tgz file you downloaded.
[21:12] <oCean_> portuguese: like: cd /opt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.x.x
[21:13] <effowe> 4-tea-2: yeah im reading about it now.. be back at some point thanks
[21:13] <portuguese> ok trying
[21:13] <Paddy_NI> portuguese, Are you currently working from another guide, if so link it here so we can see what you are trying to do
[21:14] <oCean_> Paddy_NI: the link is in scrollback
[21:14] <Paddy_NI> only joined
[21:14] <Paddy_NI> :)
[21:14] <portuguese> just the one i showed http://code.google.com/p/mokotouch/
[21:15] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: 'man update-motd' is exciting, too.
[21:16] <effowe> 4-tea-2: ok sorry for asking about this so much, but all the stuff im reading is pointing to putting the messages in /etc/motd AKA what should be /var/run/motd but the link is broken as its saving as /var/run/motd.new .. i havent found anything about it yet
[21:16] <Oer> !smb | Oer
[21:17] <yoshie> Is there a program that you can use to call somone Internationally on a Cell phone? A program compatible with Ubuntu or maybe a website? All i ever see are sites that charge.
[21:17] <mattgyver> Anyone familiar with a way to specify what monitor the GDM login presents itself on (nvidia)?
[21:18] <portuguese> prince worked thanks
[21:18] <Owier> hola!
[21:18] <prince_jammys> portuguese: welcome.
[21:19] <oCean_> !es > Owier
[21:19] <portuguese> now where is the file gona be?
[21:19] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: the thing is that the motd is created "on demand", so to have it, you have to log in to that machine from the outside.
[21:19] <ibuclaw> mattgyver, if you think of gdm as a *very* restricted login session, it's practically the same way you do it as usual. :)
[21:19] <billy> how would i go about installing a netgear wifi stick on ubuntu
[21:20] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: I set up openssh-server, connected by ssh, and now I have a complete /var/run/motd file with link to documentation and footer and all.
[21:20] <effowe> 4-tea-2: well i only ssh into this machine, and the reason its working now is because i moved /etc/motd to /etc/motd.bak and did a ln -s /var/run/motd.new /etc/motd
[21:20] <mattgyver> ibuclaw, yeah i think i asked the wrong question.  I have twin view enabled and it shows up on the right, i think i gotta figure out how to change the position on the monitor somehow
[21:20] <ibuclaw> mattgyver, copying the nvidia .desktop to /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow and logging off should launch the nvidia settings
[21:20] <PMantis> Hi guys! I'm trying to use vserver in a lucid server, but keep getting this when trying to build a new vserver:  /etc/vservers/.defaults/vdirbase/test: Function not implemented
[21:20] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: well, it works for me exactly as explained in man update-motd
[21:21] <ibuclaw> mattgyver, I wrote a mini-guide a while ago... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1333683
[21:21] <oCean_> portuguese: I had a look at the URL you showed, you actually have to download 2 things: besides the arms-toolchains, you also have to download qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.x.x.tar.gz from qt.nokia, not sure if you read that. But anyway, we're really getting offtopic here.
[21:21] <mattgyver> ibuclaw, oh i think i know what your saying let me read your post, thakns
[21:21] <nerdy_kid> my Xorg process is using 600mb of ram -- is this normal?
[21:22] <effowe> ok well update-motd must be saving my file to /var/run/motd.new and not /var/run/motd because when i moved /var/run/motd.new to /var/run/motd the symlink was fixed and it worked for a new ssh session, but rebooting removed /var/run/motd and created a /var/run/motd.new thus killing my old /etc/motd symlink.. yeesh
[21:22] <karthee> nerdy_kid.... compiz??
[21:22] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: did you update a machine from an older Ubuntu version? Perhaps your sshd_config isn't set up to use pam yet?
[21:22] <nerdy_kid> karthee kwin, still a little high though dont you say?
[21:22] <effowe> 4-tea-2: yes, just this week went from 9.04 > 9.1 > 10.04 all via sudo do-release-upgrade
[21:22] <billy> if i installed software for a wifi dongle on wine would i be able to use the dongle?
[21:22] <portuguese> yep did that. i had to start over with the configure lol . it says to pick commercial edition or open source? open source right?
[21:23] <ibuclaw> mattgyver, at about the middle, you should see a "cp /usr/share/applications/foo.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow"
[21:23] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: check /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the settings PrintMotd (yes? no?) and UsePAM (yes? no?)
[21:23] <ibuclaw> mattgyver, essentially, you do that.
[21:23] <portuguese> im gona have to write this down lol. thanks big time
[21:23] <karthee> nerdy_kid.... i agree .. 600mb s too much ....
[21:23] <mattgyver> thanks ibuclaw ill give it a shot
[21:24] <effowe> 4-tea-2: ok printmotd no and usepam yes
[21:24] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: well, that's how it's on a fresh 10.4 install, sorry, I'm lost.
[21:24] <nerdy_kid> karthee darn....well my nvidia drivers just got updated lets hope that fixes it :)  thanks for your help
[21:24] <karthee> nerdy_kid.... how much ram do u have
[21:24] <yoshie> Trying to find a program I can use with ubuntu to make international calls from my ubuntu box to a international cell phone, help anyone know?
[21:24] <nerdy_kid> karthee 3Gb
[21:24] <billy> if i installed software for a wifi dongle on wine would i be able to use the dongle?
[21:24] <karthee> nerdy_kid.... 10.04?
[21:25] <effowe> 4-tea-2: hah ok man, and to think, all this started because i was reading a huge manual on linux hier and got to /etc/motd and started poking around
[21:25] <^peanut^> yoshie: skype?
[21:25] <billy> yoshie, sounds like you want skype
[21:25] <nerdy_kid> karthee yup, i am also using kde 4.5rc2, but xorg usually hangs around 200mb
[21:25] <[4-tea-2]> effowe: heh, check whether your disk is at 100% full. That would explain weird behaviour.
[21:25] <yoshie> trying to use something free, skype charges....
[21:25] <bastid_raZor> effowe: edit the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/ or add your own to have a custom motd on ssh login.
[21:25] <^peanut^> yoshie: good luck finding a sip provider that lets you call cell/landlines for free
[21:26] <effowe> 4-tea-2: nope, i just uninstalled a ton of packages that werent being used (X11, gdm, etc etc..) so i freed a ton of space, maybe its a result of removing something i shouldnt have.. no broken dependencies or anything
[21:26] <yoshie> peanut , yeah thats what im trying to do heh
[21:26] <pakr> how are you all doing ?
[21:26] <effowe> bastid: yeah im having a larger problem with /var/run/motd not being created and instead /var/run/motd.new is
[21:26] <guntbert> !ot | pakr
[21:26] <^peanut^> yoshie: most that I've found won't let you make free calls. tho, if the other end had a wireless device that supported skype like (android), then you could call them for free =)
[21:27] <karthee> nerdy_kid.... try with compiz .. i m using .. mine s 4 gb ram .. still compiz uses 200mb ..    alt+f2   compiz --replace would do
[21:27] <portuguese> all hail to prince jammys also thanks oCean
[21:27] <portuguese> lol
[21:27] <nerdy_kid> karthee ok, thanks :)
[21:27] <yoshie> peanut , ok thanks for the info
[21:27] <^peanut^> np =)
[21:27] <billy> if i installed software for a wifi dongle on wine would i be able to use the dongle?
[21:27] <karthee> nerdy_kid.... u r wc
[21:27] <^peanut^> billy: might want to check in #wine or....
[21:28] <bastid_raZor> effowe: you can get around all that by making a script to echo your personal motd.. no need for update-motd package.
[21:28] <duckslammer> how do you update themes under gnome?  i got a theme online and installed then decided to change it and it says "cannot install directory over directory"  - now somehow i've reverted to the original theme and can't reinstall the one i liked, it says "xxxxx is not a valid theme".  help!!
[21:28] <billy> i got kicked from wine its invite only ??
[21:29] <^peanut^> oh
[21:29] <^peanut^> wow
[21:29] <bastid_raZor> !register | billy, register your nick:
[21:29] <effowe> bastid: yeah i got around it by changing the symlink of /etc/motd to /var/run/motd.new .. im just wondering why its messed up on my end, not so much concerned about adding personal info just yet
[21:29] <guntbert> billy: its #winehq
[21:29] <^peanut^> thanks guntbert. couldn't remember the full name
[21:30] <Guest37938> hi guys, a nice night is coming: i am trying to plug a gentoo box (disk) in a new config. You know what?
[21:30] <billy> cheers
[21:30] <snowrichard> maybe you should join #gentoo?
[21:30] <guntbert> ^peanut^: neither could I but /msg ubottu wine told me :-)
[21:30] <b1nd3r> where are the wallpaper used when the livecd starts ubiquity?
[21:30] <Guest37938> snowrichard: you re SO right... i thought i was! :)
[21:31] <Guest37938> sorry! cheers!
[21:31] <billy> does ubuntu make software to run wifi dongles
[21:31] <lcuk> billy, lots of wifi dongles should work
[21:32] <duckslammer> can someone help me with updating themes?
[21:32] <billy> ive got a netgear wg111t
[21:32] <^peanut^> billy: if you run sudo tail -f /var/log/messages from a terminal and then plug in your dongle...what shows up in the log? can you use pastebin.ubutnu.com and paste that info in?
[21:32] <pakr> duckslammer : yes, I can  :-) download the latest version(s) and copy it into /usr/share/themes/
[21:33] <duckslammer> pakr, thx!
[21:33] <pakr> what was I supposed to write ?
[21:33] <bastid_raZor> ^peanut^: you don't need sudo to read that logfile.
[21:33] <pakr> if there is no other way ...
[21:33] <rikkimaru> Is there a way to stop an SD card from being automounted?
[21:33] <duckslammer> pakr, does the file have be untarred?
[21:34] <pakr> duckslammer : of course
[21:34] <duckslammer> pakr: this is lot easier under xfce :-)  thx
[21:34] <pakr> duckslammer : hope you are not sarcastic
[21:35] <pakr> sudo cp -r /path /usr/share/themes/"nameOfTheTheme :-)
[21:35] <duckslammer> pakr: i have been using xubuntu forever but decided to try ubuntu so i could explain it to someone else - i am finding some unpleasant quirks, like setting system adjustments makes my browser close up
[21:35] <billy> this is what came up when i plugged it in http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/464694/
[21:36] <duckslammer> pakr: and the themes installer doesn't work
[21:36] <CAPcap> I want to have transparent windows in lxde which uses openbox as its wm. You see that a lot in straight up openbox theme pictures, can it be done in lxde? if so, how because i cant figure it out
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> what themes installer?
[21:36] <yur15t> hey. help me please with installing bootloader. i'm newbie in ubuntu. thanks
[21:36] <sweb> my num key not work ?
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | yur15t
[21:36] <sweb> why ?
[21:36] <pakr> duckslammer : weird, it works for me
[21:36] <duckslammer> pakr: my friend would not be able to figure these things out for herself, and i am spending hours running down trivial bugs.  so if that's sarcasm so be it.  i would call it an observation
[21:37] <kevinSJ> How do I run applications through terminal as a new process? So I can close the terminal after I run it?
[21:37] <bastid_raZor> kevinSJ: comman & disown
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> kevinSJ:  command &, then use 'exit'
[21:37] <[4-tea-2]> kevinSJ: I like "nohup command" instead.
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> dont use the close button. :)  (bad habbit)
[21:37] <pakr> duckslammer : all right
[21:37] <^peanut^> billy: it's possible that the kernel drivers (if any) are not built into your current running kernel.
[21:38] <billy> whats that mean
[21:38] <Snakkah> Does anyone here know anything about attempting to install Ubuntu (or one of its derivatives or another distro) on a USB drive so that it's bootable from the drive?
[21:38] <^peanut^> No support atm
[21:38] <^peanut^> or
[21:38] <pakr> does anyone have laptop LENOVO IDEAPAD G560 ? If so, what do you think about it ?
[21:38] <bastid_raZor> [4-tea-2]: that creates a nohup.log that logs all the output from the command, which if run for several days/weeks can get very large.
[21:38] <Snakkah> I keep having a problem with installing GRUB, since there's no MBR on the drive.
[21:38] <ben__> Snakkah, you can use startupdisk creator in system>administration
[21:38] <pakr> just say couple words about it please, I would like to buy it
[21:38] <dancek> CAPcap, did you try this: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:FAQ#How_do_I_get_true_32-bit_transparent_windows.3F
[21:38] <^peanut^> billy: hold on
[21:38] <billy> ok
[21:38] <p1l0t> a program called dhclient keeps changing my ip address at (seemingly to me) random times.. I don't see any entries in crontab to trigger it how do I stop it?
[21:38] <Snakkah> ben_, read second comment. There's no MBR.
[21:38] <CAPcap> dancek, no i havent thank you :)
[21:39] <[4-tea-2]> bastid_raZor: indeed, I failed to mention that, because it will say so anyway if he tries it.
[21:39] <sweb>  my num key not work ?
[21:39] <Snakkah> So I don't think that would work, would it? Or am I mistaken?
[21:39] <dancek> CAPcap, there probably won't be an automated way to have transparent windows but i reckon transset et al should work normally
[21:39] <^peanut^> billy: have you checked out this forum thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258732
[21:40] <guntbert> p1l0t: please have a look at /etc/network/interfaces. your interface should be mentioned there with its address and no dhcp
[21:40] <CAPcap> thanks
[21:40] <pakr> I am having this problem with internet connection, it works whenever it wants.. once it words once it does not ... I have set some things in /etc/network/interfaces, but it does not seem to be working yet.... any help ?
[21:40] <billy> cheers
[21:41] <p1l0t> Interfaces works normally when I do a /etc/init.d/networking restart... but something else is changing it when I am not looking and its driving me nuts
[21:41] <p1l0t> guntbert:
[21:41] <guntbert> p1l0t: please !pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces
[21:41] <[4-tea-2]> p1l0t: apt-get remove dhcp3-client, perhaps?
[21:42] <p1l0t> [4-tea-2]: lemme try that :) (I tried apt-get remove dhclient before and it was fail)
[21:42] <[4-tea-2]> p1l0t: or remove the dhcpd on your net that is feeding that box new ip addresses :)
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> Yea. dhclient gets its ip and info from your dhcp server and the lease timnes
[21:42] <[4-tea-2]> p1l0t: "dpkg -S $(which dhclient)" should tell you what package it's in.
[21:43] <WJ> I got myself a problem: I can't browse since today: eth0 works fine, wlan0 brought down, unplugged it even just to try it, IP config ooks fine, internal browsing also ok, /etc/resolv.conf mentione my dns servers just fine, ping to outside ip adresses works fine, but no nslookup
[21:43] <p1l0t> I removed dhcp3-client. Hopefully this fixed it. Thanks [4-tea-2] !
[21:43] <WJ> Who can point me in the right direction?
[21:43] <[4-tea-2]> p1l0t: gl
[21:45] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: now this could sound weird... there was a change to DNS root servers recently (DNSSEC).
[21:45] <p1l0t> WJ: 8.8.8.8 ? To test and see if it's your ISP
[21:45] <aeon-ltd> WJ: proxy settings?
[21:45] <WJ> 8.8.8.8?
[21:45] <bogdomania> or maybe he has setup some firewall
[21:45] <bogdomania> see ifconfig
[21:45] <p1l0t> Google public DNS
[21:46] <WJ> my windows systems are working fine, just my linux system isn't
[21:46] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: I didn't follow that too closely, but you could be affected if you only allow nameserver responses by UDP, because they're sending more data now.
[21:46] <[4-tea-2]> He might remember if he had changed his firewall rules just before it stopped working.
[21:46] <aeon-ltd> WJ: router settings changed?
[21:46] <WJ> nop
[21:47] <bogdomania> WJ, since you aren`t able to surf the net,anymore, before that, did you changed/installed scripts, firewall.. ???
[21:47] <duckslammer> pakr: i downloaded the theme and added it /usr/share/themes - but how do i install it?  when i go to system->preferences->appearance the themes in that directory are not shown - there are about 25 in the directory and only 9 show in the window
[21:47] <WJ> - can ping router, can ping other workstations in my network, dns settings are same on windows as on router and linux
[21:47] <binni> In Remote Deskt.. Preferences it says: "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network", so I assume I need to uncheck "Only allow local connections" but the advanced tab isn't there, so what do I do?
[21:47] <WJ> nothing, just booted up my system again
[21:47] <p1l0t> WJ can you ping an address outside of your local network?
[21:47] <pakr> duckslammer :as you said, you MUST untar it !!!!!!!
[21:48] <WJ> no adresses, but I can ping outside IP's
[21:48] <WJ> dns seems to be the problem
[21:48] <WJ> nslookup also fails
[21:48] <duckslammer> it is untarred - i am not naive about unix been doing it for 25 years - i just don't know my way around gnome
[21:48] <p1l0t> Yes
[21:48] <WJ> can I reset my dns settings someway?
[21:48] <bogdomania> could be TCP/IP stack fail?
[21:48] <duckslammer> pakr: it is untarred - i am not naive about unix been doing it for 25 years - i just don't know my way around gnome
[21:48] <WJ> remove the resolv.conf or something?
[21:49] <p1l0t> WJ: Which version are you using?
[21:49] <WJ> kernel you mean?
[21:49] <p1l0t> WJ: OS
[21:49] <xangua> duckslammer: simply drag it to the system>preferences>appearence window
[21:50] <duckslammer> xangua: drag it from a file manager?
[21:50] <pakr> duckslammer : I hope you can see "Appearance Preferences" with "Theme" and can see the themes ... f.e. "Custom, Ambiance etc .. ?
[21:50] <karthee> WJ: cat /etc/hosts
[21:50] <p1l0t> Lucid, gnome, netbook, server.. I guess I am wondering if you are using NetworkManager or not
[21:50] <duckslammer> pakr: yes
[21:50] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: in case you want to follow my absurd hunch, check 'iptables -vnL' to see what you're allowing on port 53.
[21:51] <guntbert> binni: that sentence means that you must have a host in the local network to access your machine - that is so. but you should see the address which should be used too, does that show?
[21:51] <xangua> duckslammer: open system>preferences>windows and the theme file you downloaded drag it there
[21:51] <pakr> then click "customize" in case you have really copied the theme into the "/usr/share/themes" folder, and you should be able to see the theme in there
 iptables: input: accept, output: accept, forware: accept
[21:52] <bogdomania> something similar,perhaps, here??!? http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7862179
[21:52] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: well, so much for that idea. ;)
[21:52] <patx> I want to install Ubuntu on a Ma Pro. I have burned the disc. However when I restart it just loads Mac. I don't want to keep Mac on the computer, I just want to re-write over the partition with Ubuntu. How can I do this?
[21:52] <WJ> etc/hosts states my 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1
[21:52] <WJ> (and some ipv6 adresses)
[21:52] <duckslammer> xangua: drag it FROM where and how?  i don't get the file manager, is there no way to type an exact path?  do i have to search through directory trees?
[21:52] <noisewaterphd> patx: hold down the option key during boot up
[21:53] <xangua> duckslammer: i do not know where you download your stuff
[21:53] <binni> guntbert, you mean: "Others can access your computer using the address 192.168.1.1 or HAL.local."? I want more then local access though, I want to access this computer from another computer through the internet.
[21:53] <patx> thanks noisewaterphd !
[21:53] <p1l0t> binni: OpenSSH
[21:53] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: next, I'd try a live CD to see whether it's the router that's fscking the linux box or if it's the local configuration of the linux system.
[21:53] <noisewaterphd> hey guys, old cowboy buddy that lives in the foothills up above my house just dropped off a WinBook J1
[21:54] <pakr> duckslamme : yes, like xangua said, you can try to install it from the "Appearance Preferences "
[21:54] <binni> p1l0t, guess I could just use that.
[21:54] <noisewaterphd> its filled with viruses and spyware, and he is totally cool with going the linux route
[21:54] <WJ> my other systems are running just fine, p[ining to outside IP's is also fine..
[21:54] <WJ> just not DNS requests
[21:54] <noisewaterphd> but what linux to put on this thing?
[21:54] <duckslammer> xangua: i go to system->preferences->appearance and "download themes online".  firefox asks me whether i want to install or save the file.  if i pick install, i get the error "cannot copy directiory over directiry".  so i save the file in /tmp and unpack it, then i mv it /usr/share/themes - now what do i do?
[21:54] <Flare183> noisewaterphd: Hardware Specs?
[21:55] <noisewaterphd> looks like its a 1ghz celeron with 256mb ram 20gig HD
[21:55] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: 'host' or 'nslookup' can help you find the problem.
[21:55] <Flare183> noisewaterphd: hmm try lubuntu
[21:55] <guntbert> binni: that has nothing to do with ubuntu, you must set up your router to forward such connections to your host
[21:55] <noisewaterphd> 10.0.4 be ok with the fancy effects disabled?
[21:55] <WJ> nslookup fails to look it up, just like host
[21:55] <noisewaterphd> lubuntu
[21:55] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: you can tell both tools which DNS server to use.
[21:55] <bogdomania> duckslammer, the  "cannot copy directiory over directory" or something like, that message usually returns that there is another theme like, installed..
[21:55] <noisewaterphd> i will check into it now
[21:55] <WJ> so it should be my dns settings, but they seems to be identiacal to my other systems!
[21:55] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: they will ignore local settings.
[21:55] <Flare183> noisewaterphd: alright
[21:56] <pakr> duckslammer : it is done ...
[21:56] <pakr> duckslammer : you should see the theme
[21:56] <xangua> duckslammer: i do not know what are yoy trying to install, you can get themes from
[21:56] <xangua> http://gnome-look.org/
[21:56] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: e.g. "host www.saar.de 8.8.8.8"
[21:56] <jake_> hello
[21:56] <Flare183> !hi | jake_
[21:56] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: if that fails, it's not your DNS setup but a network/router problem, methinks.
[21:56] <jake_> how do i erase my harddrive
[21:57] <heg> WJ: use dig instead nslookup, also this will not help your problem, but more informations
[21:57] <WJ> host www.saar.de 8.8.8.8: also fails
[21:57] <duckslammer> pakr: i have copied the theme to the directiry as you said.  the theme name does not appear in system->prefs->appearance.  in fact there are 25 installed themes that also do not appear in that menu.  i am at a loss here
[21:57] <CarlFK> what is a command to print a .txt file to the default printer?
[21:57] <portuguese> how do i extract a tar to usr/local please
[21:57] <bogdomania> duckslammer, what extension does the archive has? .tar.gz? .zip? .rar?
[21:57] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: then you don't need to bother about your DNS setup on that machine. Next: live CD or tcpdump. :D
[21:57] <Flare183> jake_: What do you mean?
[21:58] <pakr> use nautilus and look in the "theme" folder, if the theme is there
[21:58] <Flare183> !details | jake_
[21:58] <noisewaterphd> Flare183: you think if I threw a gig of ram in this it would do alright with gnome?
[21:58] <Flare183> noisewaterphd: yeah that would be a good idea
[21:58] <xangua> duckslammer: download the theme file (tar, tar.gz, zip, rar, etc) whetever you want, extract it somewhere then open the appearence window and drag the them THERE
[21:58] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: ...or wireshark, if you're the pointy-clicky kinda guy.
[21:58] <noisewaterphd> I'm not sure I want to send this old timer off with X11
[21:58] <duckslammer> bogomania: it was a zipped tar and i got it using gnome so it came from whatever default repository gnome uses, i did not specificy it manually
[21:58] <Flare183> noisewaterphd: lol
[21:58] <jake_> flare183: i want to install a new OS but im having troubles with my whacked up partitions and stuff on it so i want to completely reformat it
[21:59] <bogdomania> duckslammer,  zipped archives are not supported
[21:59] <xangua> jake_: then jsut install it in all the HD
[21:59] <noisewaterphd> i have no idea what the video card is though, what's you best guess based on the specs? system ram only?
[21:59] <bogdomania> unzip the archive see if there is some metacity && gtk2 folders.. then make a tar.gz archive
[21:59] <jake_> xangua: how do i do that?
[21:59] <WJ> all seems just fine
[21:59] <Flare183> jake_: Depends on the OS first off, and secondly, if its linux then try gparted
[21:59] <bassliner> hi there, i'm trying to write a preseed.cfg but the installation is still asking me for autoselecting the keyboard layout even with "d-i console-setup/ask_detect boolean false" and afterwards if i want to write the changes to disk after setting up LVM, any help how to find out how to correctly write the lines for my preseed.cfg?
[21:59] <WJ> weird enough..
[21:59] <pakr> duckslammer : ls /usr/share/themes/"nameOfTheTheme"
[21:59] <duckslammer> xangua: we have a disconnect here - i do not not understand you - you want me to drag the theme from someplace, what application do i use to see the theme file to drag it from?
[21:59] <Flare183> noisewaterphd: well try booting a ubuntu live CD and try it out first
[22:00] <xangua> jake_: in ubuntu there is an option to just install in the whole HD
[22:00] <hiexpo> wowbusy
[22:00] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: did you reboot your router yet?
[22:00] <Flare183> once you do get it up and running open a terminal and type in lspci and pastebin it :P
[22:00] <xangua> is there a fact to themes¿¿
[22:00] <xangua> !themes
[22:00] <WJ> nope
[22:00] <noisewaterphd> Flare183: good idea, will do
[22:00] <Flare183> noisewaterphd: :) np
[22:00] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: there you go. It just doesn't like Linux systems.
[22:00] <binni> guntbert, I'm not sure how routers work but the router firewall is disabled, shouldn't that be enough to allow connections coming in through the desired port
[22:00] <WJ> can it be usefull, since my other systems are working fine?
[22:00] <xangua> !themes > duckslammer
[22:00] <pakr> there should be : in my case f.e. :  gtk-2.0 , index.theme, metacity-1 , overglossed.jpg
[22:00] <duckslammer> pakr: this is the list: AgingGorilla
[22:00] <duckslammer> Ambiance
[22:00] <duckslammer> Atlanta
[22:00] <duckslammer> Bright
[22:00] <duckslammer> Clearlooks

[22:00] <duckslammer> ClearlooksClassic
[22:00] <xangua> !changethemes> duckslammer
[22:00] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: I've seen commercial routers behave weird before.
[22:01] <pakr> then there is only one theme
[22:01] <pakr> duckslammer : then there is only one theme
[22:01] <bogdomania> [4-tea-2],  he just said that other OS are working fine
[22:01] <bogdomania> with the same hardware
[22:01] <pakr> duckslammer : now use : ls /usr/share/themes/AgingGorilla
[22:01] <guntbert> binni: no, without your action no one from outside can reach your host (you are behind a NAT router)
[22:01] <hiexpo> flood
[22:01] <patx> noisewaterphd: i help option
[22:01] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: look at what we know... a DNS lookup directly to a known to be good DNS server fails and there are no iptables rules in place.
[22:01] <Flare183> duckslammer: just remember to pastebin it
[22:01] <patx> i justsaw mac hd
[22:02] <patx> no ubuntu choice
[22:02] <patx> i tried reloading, but still no
[22:02] <patx> i was forced to boot mac
[22:02] <duckslammer> pakr: a directory: metacity-1
[22:02] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: instead of rebooting the router, I recommended before to check a) with a live cd or b) with wireshark what's happening with the DNS requests.
[22:02] <WJ> ok, how do I reset my iptable configuration?
[22:02] <patx> duckslammer: where?
[22:02] <duckslammer> patx: where what?
[22:03] <patx> oh nevermind
[22:03] <oddtod> is there a way to make it so when i right click on an ISO / BIN file i can just have it mount ?
[22:03] <duckslammer> flare183: what is pastebin?
[22:03] <pakr> duckslammer : try this theme, use the same instructions : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Overglossed?content=74813
[22:03] <patx> i thought u said my nick sorry lol
[22:03] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: it's already empty, as you told us before, but anyway: iptables --flush
[22:03] <Flare183> !pastebin | duckslammer
[22:03] <bogdomania> duckslammer,  here: http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/05/26/how-to-install-ubuntu-themes/   is as simple as it gets
[22:04] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: to make totally sure, also do a: iptables --table nat --flush
[22:04] <duckslammer> pakr:flare183,bogdomania,ubottu: thx for you help, now i'll go read what i can find and try it out
[22:04] <bogdomania> good god.. duckslammer  come on mate, is basic stuff
[22:04] <tophyr> does ubuntu come with SCP on as default?
[22:04] <bogdomania> you`re welcome, anyways
[22:05] <Flare183> tophyr: yes it does
[22:05] <pakr> duckslammer : dont go anywhere, try it and tell us if it works
[22:05] <WJ> nothing :|
[22:05] <jake_> how do i completely reformat my hardrive with ubuntu? ive tried using gparted but i couldnt figure it out :(
[22:05] <tophyr> Flare183 which port does that listen on?
[22:05] <b1nd3r> how can  I change the loading image from ubuntu? I think is called usplash
[22:05] <[4-tea-2]> tophyr: outgoing yes, incoming: I don't think so. "sudo aptitude install openssh-server" would enable it.
[22:05] <Flare183> tophyr: 22 of course
[22:05] <bogdomania> jake_,
[22:05] <tophyr> gotcha, so it tunnels thru
[22:05] <hiexpo> jake_,  ubuntu will do it for you
[22:05] <canella> ciao
[22:05] <bogdomania> jake_, during installation process, or.. with rm *** /
[22:06] <jake_> uh see um yah so theres this problem with "ubuntu doing it for me" im installing windows :(
[22:06] <Flare183> bogdomania: you don't want to do that
[22:06] <canella> List
[22:06] <patx> How do I install Ubuntu on Mac? When I hold the option key on startup, I only see an Mac HD option.
[22:06] <bogdomania> Flare183, do what?
[22:06] <tophyr> [4-tea-2] i've already got ssh goin on, just didn't know if scp was included in that. thx :)
[22:06] <bogdomania> he wants to format his drive
[22:06] <WJ> haha, funny enough some fucker inhere is trying to attack my router
[22:06] <Flare183> jake_: you in the wrong channel then; ##windows is the channel you want
[22:06] <WJ> 85.190.0.3
[22:06] <pakr> patx : You have to run BIOS in case you are having a cd/dvd
[22:06] <FloodBot4> WJ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:06] <[4-tea-2]> tophyr: scp is "always on" in SSH. What sometimes need to be enabled is SFTP.
[22:06] <Flare183> bogdomania: you never tell a user to rm -f / or anything of that such
[22:06] <jake_> no cause my current OS is ubuntu
[22:07] <oddtod> jake_; in gparted right click on the partition you want to 'format to' and choose the type you'd like
[22:07] <tophyr> gotcha
[22:07] <bogdomania> Flare183, the guy want`s his drive formatted.. what is the problem?
[22:07] <patx> pakr: how do i rin "BIOS"?
[22:07] <binni> guntbert, awsome, just configured my router and now everything is working.
[22:07] <Patero-ng> hi robin
[22:07] <hiexpo> !language | wj
[22:07] <robin___> Hi Patero-ng!
[22:07] <jake_> it wont let me format it
[22:07] <robin___> I need help with my Grub menu.lst.
[22:07] <vinceman> what is a GRUB install device?
[22:07] <Flare183> bogdomania: never mind :/
[22:07] <pakr> patx : I am sorry, BIOS settings, BIOS happens to run itself ... :-)
[22:07] <robin___> I got rid of my Windows 7 partition and it says I still have it.
[22:08] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: actually, no, that's a security feature of the IRC network.
[22:08] <robin___> On GRUB.
[22:08] <robin___> So, how do I get rid of it?
[22:08] <vinceman> !GRUB
[22:08] <bogdomania> Flare183, yeah i know what you meant.. i didn`t ...but you did :)
[22:08] <robin___> thanks
[22:08] <patx> pakr: so how do i go to tht?
[22:08] <guntbert> binni: but please be aware that you maybe opened a (maybe big) door for everyone to intrude your network
[22:08] <pakr> patx : I believe it is solved somewhere on google ...
[22:08] <Flare183> bogdomania: oh lol sorry XD
[22:08] <patx> pakr: not that i can find...
[22:08] <bogdomania> :)) np
[22:08] <jake_> oh wait i think i found something. i went into disc utility and clicked on my hd and it has an option to erase it. that will work right?
[22:08] <[4-tea-2]> WJ: some IRC networks check whether users are exploitable before they allow them to log on - just for their protection. I think freenode does something like that, too.
[22:08] <Patero-ng> why did ubuntu became so popular
[22:08] <bogdomania> jake_,
[22:08] <jake_> what?
[22:09] <patx> 231
[22:09] <guntbert> !ot | Patero-ng
[22:09] <Flare183> Patero-ng: because its so awesome :P
[22:09] <bogdomania> do you really want to format your hdd?
[22:09] <bastid_raZor> binni: fail2ban is a good application to ban IP's that attempt to login via ssh.
[22:09] <bogdomania> you will lose all datas stored on it
[22:09] <jake_> well i want to get rid of my current OS to install a new one and yes i realise that
[22:09] <jake_> i am prepared to lose all my data
[22:09] <robin___> I looked through the GRUB page in help.ubuntu.
[22:09] <robin___> However, I still don't know how to do it.
[22:09] <pakr> patx : well, I have read articles about people who use mac "PCs" running on ubuntu, so there has to be a way
[22:10] <Flare183> robin___: You mean read it
[22:10] <Snakkah> Can anyone point me to a definitive guide for installing a Linux distro (in this case, Xubuntu) on a USB flash drive? I'm getting quite frustrated that many of the solutions out there do not seem to work.
[22:10] <robin___> Flare183, yeah.
[22:10] <Patero-ng> I want to ask if ubuntu has exploits or vulnerabilities developed for it more then other linuxes
[22:10] <patx> pakr: yea i have too and they all dualboot. which i dotn wanna do.
[22:10] <hiexpo> jake_,  - than install os through cd or usb  and format to use entire harddrive
[22:10] <robin___> What I want to do is get rid of the Windows 7 GRUB entry or get rid of GRUB booting up when I power on my laptop.
[22:10] <[4-tea-2]> Patero-ng: I guess we need to start working when we got a market share of >5% in the desktop market.
[22:10] <jake_> can windows do that :)
[22:10] <[4-tea-2]> Patero-ng: *worrying
[22:10] <xangua> !unetbootin > Snakkah
[22:10] <bogdomania> Patero-ng,  no, and yes.. ubuntu is just a linux distro.. like many others, depends on you how well is securised, and etc..
[22:10] <guntbert> bastid_raZor: binni configured his router for remote desktop access to his ubuntu host
[22:11] <patx> pakr: can u just tell me how to gte to BISO settings?
[22:11] <pakr> I do not have MAC
[22:11] <tophyr> patx reboot and hit f12, f10, f2 or del.
[22:11] <tophyr> or all four.
[22:11] <tophyr> sometimes tab.
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> or backspace..
[22:11] <patx> ok
[22:11] <bastid_raZor> guntbert: ah, i missed what he had opened it for, i was still in the mindset of the ssh/scp stuff.
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> :)
[22:11] <bogdomania> hit the whole keyboard :)
[22:12] <guntbert> bastid_raZor: :)
[22:12] <pakr> patx : I do not know, but on my PC it works with "keypad"
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> Hit the ANY key
[22:12] <[4-tea-2]> I have a box that wants F8 :)
[22:12] <pakr> patx : * "del"
[22:12] <tophyr> [4-tea-2] crazy bios mfgr's
[22:12]  * Dr_Willis thinks the bios/mb makers would have come to a standard by now
[22:12] <[4-tea-2]> It's obviously a notebook.
[22:12] <[4-tea-2]> No standards there. Never.
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> the standard is to be nonstandard
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> Hit Escape to Continue.. or Y to stop..
[22:13] <istvan> hey, i'm looking to use the optical spdif outputs on my abit ip35 pro. see this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1532405
[22:13] <tophyr> Dr_Willis lol
[22:13] <kazagistar> patx: I gave my friend an ubuntu live CD once, showed him how to boot it on his mac, and told him to not attempt an install without me. he did anyways, and since the live CD cannot resize the mac filesystem, in overwrote everything and made a single-boot system, and he lost everything
[22:13] <tophyr> he's gone
[22:13] <tophyr> probably mashin on the keyboard right about now
[22:14] <bogdomania> :)
[22:14] <kazagistar> tophyr: yeah, I noticed after I posted :/
[22:14] <[4-tea-2]> kazagistar: you misspelled "ex-friend"
[22:14] <blut> hello
[22:14] <blut> i am compiling alsa-utils and got configure: error: required curses helper header not found
[22:14] <blut> which package would resolve this?
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> !info alsa-utils
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> blut:  theres a apt get cvommand to install all needed dev files..
[22:15] <kazagistar> [4-tea-2]: we are still friends ( I helped him reinstall his OSX... and he realizes that I TOLD HIM NOT TO DO IT!) :P
[22:15] <hiexpo> blut,  did you read the read me first ?
[22:15] <patx> I held down ll those buttons but nothing happened.
[22:15] <[4-tea-2]> blut: "apt-get build-dep alsa-utils", methinks.
[22:15] <savid> Help! I can't get any sound --  aplay -l lists two sound devices, one analog and one digital (I have a line-out and a optical out, I'm using line-out).   The speakers work fine, tested w/ my phone with the same cable.   Any ideas what could be wrong?
[22:15] <Dr_Willis>  sudo apt-get build-dep alsa-utils
[22:15] <savid> I'm testing using aplay
[22:15] <[4-tea-2]> blut: probably with a sudo in front if you're unlike me.
[22:15] <Jordan_U> kazagistar: Ubuntu's installer actually can resize hfsplus.
[22:15] <[4-tea-2]> sudo bash ftw
[22:16] <patx> pakr: u say holding delete maybe will bring up BIOS settings?
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> sudo bash - for the loose.. learn to use 'sudo -s' :)
[22:16] <tophyr> patx there should be a line in the corner of the screen for a few seconds right when the computer turns on, that says "Press <X> for Setup". where <X> is some key
[22:16] <tophyr> whatever key that is, press that key.
[22:16] <istvan> i accidently installed grub over my windows 7 boot loader on my dual boot. how can i recover my win7?
[22:16] <durt> patx, it differs for different systems, google the right key.
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> istvan:  ask in #windows ?
[22:16] <tophyr> istvan insert win7 cd, run startup repair
[22:16] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, do you happen to know the difference between -s and -i?
[22:17] <[4-tea-2]> Dr_Willis: something new every day, tyvm!
[22:17] <kazagistar> Jordan_U: I dunno, but Xubuntu 8.04 couldn't afaik... perhaps it is new?
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  the enviroment settings.
[22:17] <savid> This is the output of aplay -l.  Any ideas what could be wrong?  http://dpaste.com/218994/
[22:17] <istvan> tophyr, i tried that, still no go
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  one uses root's settings.. other keeps the users settings
[22:17] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, thanks
[22:17] <patx> tophyr: i think its the aption key... when i hold that it brings up like a scrren with mac HD then an arrow button and a reload button
[22:17] <tophyr> istvan is grub or wbl in your mbr?
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  the env settings are the 'core' differance tween all these ways to get a 'root shell'
[22:17] <patx> tophyr: does that sound right?
[22:17] <oddtod> tophyr; whats your name a reference to?
[22:17] <istvan> tophyr, grub
[22:17] <hiexpo> istvan,  do you have lipstick   > cause kiss it good bye
[22:18] <blut> [4-tea-2]: haha
[22:18] <pakr> yes, while booting
[22:18] <istvan> hiexpo, :p
[22:18] <tophyr> istvan oh, you should be able to just put a line in grub.conf to daisychain into windows boot loader then
[22:18] <blut> [4-tea-2]: the apt-get build-dep alsa-utils installs texlive
[22:18] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, i've use seen both the -i and -s given as options - was wondering what difference it made.  Thanks again.
[22:18] <tophyr> on the individual partition
[22:18] <marfu20> ubuntu en español?
[22:18] <tophyr> patx are you on an apple machine?
[22:18] <blut> why is texlive a dependency of alsa-utils?!?
[22:18] <bastid_raZor> marfu20: #ubuntu-es
[22:19] <kazagistar> patx: sorry, are you trying to boot the live cd? holding down "c" does that
[22:19] <[4-tea-2]> blut: probably because of some great documentation magicke.
[22:19] <[4-tea-2]> blut: TeX is good for you.
[22:19] <istvan> tophyr, well the issue is that i over-wrote the windows boot loader - when i re-installed grub i accidently put it on that partition
[22:19] <tophyr> oddtod when i was a kid my dad called me 'tofer' (chris-topher), and he set me up with an email acct when i was like 8 and into aliens and such. i thought "tophyr" looked cool
[22:20] <blut> [4-tea-2]: i wanted to install texlive anyways, as i use it alot, but it does not have to be a dep of alsa!
[22:20] <tophyr> istvan oh so there's no WBL on your hd anywhere. how did startup repair fail?
[22:20] <patx> tophyr: yes
[22:20] <patx> kazagistar: sold rebot and hold c?
[22:20] <patx> or option then c?
[22:20] <[4-tea-2]> blut: the same package will probably produce a doc package with beautifully rendered documentation.
[22:20] <Pirate_Hunter> just added a hp k550 using the web interface however I wish to modify the settings, when I try I get 404 Not found error which is weird I get the same if I try to delete the printer. Can someone help me fix this issue?
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> blut:  perhaps for the docs/doc generation
[22:20] <tophyr> patx that makes much more sense now. sorry, i have no clue how to get into the bios on a mac.
[22:20] <tophyr> patx google probably knows tho.
[22:20] <patx> oh :(
[22:20] <kazagistar> patx: Hold down the “c” key when the computer boots up.
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> I thouight macs had 'firmware' not bios .
[22:21] <[4-tea-2]> blut: and it's not a dep of alsa... just a build-dep. And TeX belongs on any development system for beautifully historical reasons. :D
[22:21] <patx> kazagistar: ok ill try thanks
[22:21] <Jordan_U> patx: Did you burn the iso with disk utility?
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> at least my old PPC mac is radically differnt in how it has its 'bios' compared to a pc/
[22:21] <Rogues> #debian
[22:21] <Rogues> er
[22:21] <Rogues> sorry
[22:21] <[4-tea-2]> TRAITOR!
[22:21] <[4-tea-2]> er
[22:21] <kazagistar> lol
[22:21] <[4-tea-2]> sorry
[22:21] <patx> Jordan_U: i did
[22:21] <FloodBot4> [4-tea-2]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:21] <bogdomania> :))
[22:21] <istvan> tophyr, what is wbl? anyhow - i re-configured grub. now grub works, but when i select windows 7 it doesn't boot. someone linked me to a script that shows you a ton of info that said that the grub files were still on the windows partition. if i use the win 7 boot cd to repair it, it says its doing stuff, but still no go
[22:21] <tophyr> wbl == windows boot loader, sorry heh
[22:22] <Jordan_U> patx: Can you boot from other CDs?
[22:22] <patx> Jordan_U: i think i should reboot and hold c
[22:22] <etotheipi> is there a way of transparently modifying a /dev/video device, e.g. by rotating it 90 degrees?
[22:22] <patx> i have not tried
[22:22] <istvan> tophyr, oh - i think i over wrote wbl
[22:22] <bogdomania> i can understand why commercial support is given, for linux.. no offence
[22:22] <tophyr> yeah, no worries. i've done the same heh
[22:22] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: well bios is just the name of the PC's firmware... old ppc macs used OpenFirmware and intel macs use EFI ( sooner or later all pc's will switch to EFI too )
[22:22] <istvan> tophyr, whats the solution? :)
[22:22] <kazagistar> patx: try holding c first, that tends to work for me, and I have installed OSs on a few macs :P
[22:23] <[4-tea-2]> bogdomania: none taken
[22:23] <tophyr> you say startup repair says it's doing stuff, but still no go - does it end up giving you an error? or does it finish, say it's done and everything's peachy, and then still not work?
[22:23] <patx> kazagistar: ok brb
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL:  im still waiting for pc's to switch to efi.
[22:23] <Jordan_U> istvan: First, in Ubuntu make sure that the grub-pc package isn't configured to install to any partitions.
[22:23] <istvan> tophyr, says its completes
[22:23] <istvan> Jordan_U, i think it was you that had me re-install grub. i just selected sda, not any partitions. i didn't re-install the wbl though
[22:23] <noisewaterphd> oh ya, forgot about that, just holding down c boots from the cdrom automatically, holding down the option key presents a boot menu
[22:24] <tophyr> gotcha. i'm willing to bet then, that the issue is with your grub config. startup repair is pretty comprehensive in what it does
[22:24] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: hey ; somebody might want to install DOS 3.1 in its core i7 ... :P
[22:24] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL:  freedos! :)
[22:24] <istvan> tophyr, what then shall i do about it?
[22:24] <tophyr> istvan the problem is probably occurring when grub tries to hand off control to wbl. pastebin up your grub config
[22:24] <Jordan_U> istvan: You can do that by running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", when prompted for install devices make sure that only drives (like sda) and no partitions (like sda1) are selected (if you've already done this then you can go on to the next step)
[22:24] <tophyr> istvan also listen to Jordan_U, he sounds like he knows more about grub than i do
[22:24] <makish> I have big trouble regarding configuring my server to chare internet...running dhcp that works fine, but no internet on clients...
[22:25] <gFred> Hi! I have this 5,8 GB .mpg video file I want to burn to a 4,7 GB DVD :/ Do you guys know of any software that are able to split the .mpg-file in to two *playable* video files?
[22:25] <istvan> Jordan_U, i think you had me try that last time. then you had me run test-disk but that didn't help
[22:25] <gFred> I've trid with the cli-tool 'split', but the second part ain't playable
[22:25] <tophyr> gFred gui or cmd line? gui i'd go with virtualdub
[22:26] <tophyr> although i take that back, i don't know if there is a *nix version.
[22:26] <xangua>  gFred what about an video editor¿¿
[22:26] <bastid_raZor> !ics | makish
[22:26] <gFred> tophyr: doesn't matter, just that its not 1337-hardcore :P
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> grand_grunt:  proberly mencoder, or ffmpeg.. but you would ahve to check their docs/faq
[22:26] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  - howdy mate
[22:26] <istvan>   Jordan_U the doc u linked me to was slightly out of date, but i thihnk i figured it out. what was that boot script you linked me to so that I could see what was installed where?
[22:27] <Jordan_U> istvan: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[22:27] <z3r0c00l> hey, i wanted to upgrade my server vom 8.04 to 10.04, so I booted 10.04 amd64 alternate via USB. I use mdadm raid and LVM and LUKS, mdadm and LVM works, but cryptosetup cannot open my encrypted partitions. Error:
[22:27] <z3r0c00l> device-mapper: table: 252:3: crypt: Error allocatingg crypto tfm
[22:27] <z3r0c00l> device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
[22:27] <z3r0c00l> Does anybody know where the problem is?
[22:27] <gFred> tophyr: "VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms (98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista/7)"
[22:27] <FloodBot4> z3r0c00l: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:27] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: You might want to try k9copy.
[22:28] <tophyr> gFred heh yeah sorry bout that
[22:28] <Jordan_U> istvan: Have you tried "bootrec /fixboot" from the windows install CD as explained here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 ?
[22:28] <fobos> excuse me, how can i set up the Opera post cliens as a system default? what command line should i write?
[22:28] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: perhaps it can recode the file so it fits one DVD.
[22:28] <Gambino> I have dual boot and am trying to grab files from Windows, but am receiving and error: Unable to mount location. Any help?
[22:28] <tophyr> Jordan_U his windows install should be fixed, it's just the daisychaining grub -> windows that needs fixing
[22:28] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: that would mean a little quality loss, though. Not sure if that's important for you.
[22:28] <tophyr> windows cd's Startup Repair basically just blows away the partition's loader and rewrites it
[22:29] <gFred> [4-tea-2]: heh, that depends on the end result.. :P
[22:29] <istvan> Jordan_U, no, will do after that script finishes
[22:29] <gFred> Hard to tell, really
[22:29] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: I said "try" ;)
[22:29] <gFred> yes; 5,8 to 4,7 can't be that bad, or?
[22:29] <istvan> Jordan_U, http://www.pasteall.org/14393
[22:30] <istvan> Jordan_U, sda 2
[22:30] <kazagistar> Gambino: what command are you using?
[22:30] <Gambino> I am in the Computer File Browser.
[22:30] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: perhaps k9copy even allows a little clipping - if it's 4:3, making it cinemascope will certainly save a lot *g*
[22:31] <gFred> I'll try :)
[22:31] <gFred> thanks guys, I'll go and try!
[22:31] <[4-tea-2]> gl
[22:31] <gFred> If you don't hear from me, everything worked fine =)
[22:32] <istvan> Jordan_U, does that result look consistent with that that article will lead me to fix?
[22:32] <Jordan_U> istvan: Yes.
[22:32] <kazagistar> Gambino: wait, are you trying to grab linux files from windows? because that is... troublesome
[22:32] <istvan> Jordan_U, i'll get right on it then :)
[22:32] <istvan> Jordan_U, thanks
[22:32] <Jordan_U> istvan: You're welcome.
[22:33] <Gambino> kazagistar, No, I am trying to grab .txt mainly.
[22:33] <Gambino> kazagistar, But just clicking the drive brings up an error.
[22:33] <kazagistar> Gambino: what OS are you running right now?
[22:33] <Gambino> Ubuntu atm.
[22:34] <gFred> Hi guys! :/
[22:34] <kazagistar> Gambino: and the text file is on the windows partition? did you shut down windows correctly?
[22:34] <Gambino> Yes.
[22:34] <gFred> [4-tea-2]: k9copy only accepted a DVD, ISO-file or a folder as input
[22:35] <jaime> hi everybody
[22:35] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: turning the file into an ISO can't be hard, right?
[22:35] <duffydack> ffmpeg ftw
[22:36] <hylian> anyone know how to use wordpress once it is installed, no gui button, and info on what command
[22:36] <gFred> [4-tea-2]: heh, probably not.. :P
[22:36] <oddtod> tophyr, there is a char on Doll House named topher figured it might be  reference to that \
[22:36] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: did you see any knobs or buttons that indicated that k9copy would accept a 5GB ISO and recode it to a 4.7GB disc?
[22:36] <duffydack> [4-tea-2], I expect the program wants a dvd compliant structure, he`s only got an mpg.
[22:36] <jaime> i need help with the lay out of terminal server with shared internet conexion
[22:36] <duffydack> ffmpeg it down some, then dvdauthor it
[22:36] <gFred> [4-tea-2]: well, I just saw a input and output-button before I figured it wouldn't work
[22:37] <tophyr> oddtod ah, nah. a lot of ppl also think i'm ref'ing tofer grace somehow
[22:37] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: not sure what you young people use these days to create an iso, but I bet there's a dozen wrappers around mkisofs for Gnome and KDE that will do all the hard work.
[22:37] <gFred> but as xangua suggested, most video editing programs should do just fine to
[22:37] <^peanut^> hylian: try #wordpress
[22:38] <kazagistar> Gambino: any chance you could try doing it manually using this? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/
[22:38] <Gambino> kazagistar, I have the option to right click > mount? Do that?
[22:38] <Gambino> Let me check the link.
[22:38] <hylian> #wordpress
[22:38] <hylian> lol
[22:38] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: I think I used dvdauthor before and it worked.
[22:38] <gFred> [4-tea-2]: my excuse is that I usually don't just creat ISOs.. :P
[22:38] <hylian> !wordpress
[22:38] <^peanut^> hylian, type /join #wordpress
[22:38] <^peanut^> for the irc channel
[22:38] <hylian> peanut #wordpress in terminal does nothing, but thanx
[22:39] <AngryPunk> hello, ive got a problem with the latest ubuntu netbook where when logging in it just continues in some loop of switching virtual desktops
[22:39] <bogdomania> :)))
[22:39] <AngryPunk> its not a stuck keyboard or mouse
[22:39] <Gambino> hylian, /join #wordpress Unless I just missed a joke ...
[22:39] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: dvdauthor will build the directory tree, methinks, and mkisofs will turn that into an iso.
[22:39] <^peanut^> lol Gambino. I was starting to think I made one somehow
[22:39] <gFred> sounds like stress ^^
[22:40] <bogdomania> ^peanut^, you did.. :)
[22:40] <slow-motion> n8
[22:40] <gFred> whatabout a plain, easy and simple video editing program - if you have any suggestions around here at #ubuntu? ;-)
[22:40] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: I bet Google will find a three step tutorial or point to a graphical frontend for those tools.
[22:40] <erUSUL> avidemux
[22:40] <erUSUL> !info devede
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> I use devede all the time for making dvd videos from video files/
[22:41] <bogdomania> try acetone iso also
[22:41] <gFred> Dr_Willis: is it able to resize the video file to?
[22:41] <forlan> hello, is there a way to have both gui and cl emacs ?
[22:41] <Dr_Willis> I use it as its designed.. video --> DVD VIDEO you can play in a dvd file. It uses ffmpeg or mencoder to do the convertison.
[22:41] <erUSUL> forlan: install the packages
[22:41] <forlan> erUSUL: one gets removed
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> gFred:  ffmpeg and/or mencoder can reencode a video to a specific size.
[22:42] <Gambino> kazagistar, The first line I need to enter into the terminal, does nothing.
[22:42] <robin___> Halp.
[22:42] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: Google told me to tell you about http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Tovid_Wiki
[22:42] <robin___> My GRUB still won't remove the Windows 7 boot entry even after sudo update-grub.
[22:42] <forlan> erUSUL: for example if i had emacs23-nox istalled and later install the gtk version , nox gets removed
[22:42] <erUSUL> forlan: just calling (like in the 90's XD ) « emacs -nw » works here
[22:42] <gFred> Dr_Willis: I have such bad experience with those tools. Never right settings before the third try :P
[22:42] <Pirate_Hunter> can anyone tell me what is the cups drivers for hp officejet pro k550?
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> gFred:  i imagione the ffmpeg and/or mencoder faq/examples tell how to reduce the size of a video.
[22:42] <forlan> erUSUL: okay lol forgot about that
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> gFred:  time to learn them better I guess.
[22:42] <NISSAN> bonsoir tout le monde
[22:42] <Jordan_U> robin___: Why do you want it removed?
[22:43] <gFred> [4-tea-2]: oh, well. Say thaks from me!
[22:43] <gFred> Dr_Willis: you're probably right, but this is a bad timing for that now :)
[22:43] <erUSUL> Pirate_Hunter: probably works with hplip like most hp printers
[22:43] <robin___> Jordan_U, I don't actuallly have the Win7 partition anymore. I deleted it.
[22:43] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: Google apparently is feeling lucky now.
[22:43] <gFred> :D
[22:43] <vincent> wow, ubuntu 10.04 looks kinda nice
[22:43] <erUSUL> gFred: Arista or winff should have targets for dvd
[22:43] <Jordan_U> robin___: You probably forgot to delete the system partition.
[22:43] <thune3> gFred: for your original question splitting couldn't be easier with ffmpeg, see post #4 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=480343
[22:44] <Gambino> Tried to mount Windows drive from Ubuntu File Browser and: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 14: Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
[22:44] <bogdomania> robin___, what do you really want? if you deleted the windows partition, why do you want a windows entry in grub?
[22:44] <[4-tea-2]> ffmpeg ftw.
[22:44] <robin___> Jordan_U, I deleted the system partition in gParted. Then, I resized lucid to overlap it.
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> gFred:  forums show an example --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=480343
[22:44] <kazagistar> Gambino: it does, silent completion means success
[22:44] <Pirate_Hunter> erUSUL, hplip... ? I assume I have to download that as well?
[22:44] <robin___> bogdomania, I don't want the windows entry in grub. That's what I"m trying to get rid of.
[22:44] <forlan> erUSUL: thanks it worked here :)
[22:44] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: too many choices now, huh? HAH!
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> gFred:  they give exact command line example based on 'time'  of how you want to split
[22:44] <Gambino> well_laid_lawn, that's confusing, let me continue with instructions then.
[22:44] <gFred> OH NOES?!?! WHAT SOLUTION TO USE?!
[22:45] <Guest8481> what's flash player called in synaptic?
[22:45] <bogdomania> sudo update-grub?
[22:45] <atrus> i'm stumped: is there a way to get network-manager to connect to wifi on boot, ie, before log-in?
[22:45] <robin___> bogdomania, already tried that.
[22:45] <gFred> ok, I'll give ffmpeg a try
[22:45] <forlan> Guest8481: flashplugin-nonfree
[22:45] <Jordan_U> robin___: You do know that "C:" is *not* the system partition?
[22:45] <Gambino> Well that's confusing*
[22:45] <[4-tea-2]> gFred: all of them, and each one with three different settings until you get it right!
[22:45] <duffydack> robin___, edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg   then if you really need it gone.
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> ffmpeg -i input.mpg -ss 00:00:10 -t 00:00:30 out1.mpg -ss 00:00:35 -t 00:00:30 out2.mpg
[22:45] <well_laid_lawn> Gambino: I don't think you meant me...
[22:45] <gFred> [4-tea-2]: I fill you guys a report for tomorrow
[22:45] <[4-tea-2]> :D
[22:45] <robin___> Jordan_U, never said it was?
[22:46] <Gambino> well_laid_lawn, No. "Well, That's confusing" but nick complete. Sorry.
[22:46] <Guest8481> forlan, why not flashplugin-installer?
[22:46] <well_laid_lawn> :]
[22:46] <robin___> "# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE", duffydack
[22:46] <Guest8481> forlan? are you the dude who played at the world chamionships soccer for Uruguay??
[22:46] <forlan> Guest8481: dunno that's the one i always install , YES :D
[22:46] <duffydack> robin___, I have, few times.. I know you aint supposed to but I just removed some entries that wouldnt be removed for some reason..
[22:47] <WJ> Aha! I figured out my networking issue (no dns calls possible) it was a VMWare bridge-networking fuckup
[22:47] <Jordan_U> robin___: What I mean is that most people aren't aware that windows has a separate partition somewhat analogous to /boot. That's what os-prober (which is used by update-grub) is looking for.
[22:47] <robin___> ah
[22:47] <compositeur> hello ;o)
[22:47] <robin___> ah
[22:47] <kazagistar> Gambino: once you finish "# sudo  mount  -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/hdb1 /media/c" it should be mounted and accessible in a file browser at /media/c
[22:47] <imi> which package do I need to install to get package install hints when I type a command name not installed already?
[22:47] <duffydack> robin___, as  Jordan_U said, you must have windows still there in some way shape or form for it to pick it up.
[22:48] <WJ> vmware workstration can't handle 2 nics while bridge is set to autodetect
[22:48] <WJ> for some reason
[22:48] <Gambino> Geeze that's long. Wish I could paste.
[22:48] <compositeur> when I start Linux, I haven't graphic interface, I have juste the terminal, what should I do to recover KDE?

[22:49] <CarlFK> I have 5 network printers setup - is there a way to print a test page like thing that prints the printer name?  I am not sure which printer is connected to which printer setup
[22:49] <ballongen> ubuntu 10.4. i have two accounts, user1 & user2. Both are in a group called group10. both have a smbpasswd and are enabled. i want to share /home/user1/folder on samba. works fine. user1 can access it from a another pc. But user2 cant. Then i tried chown -R user1:group10 to /home/user1/folder with no success, what should i do? help  user2 can access its own folder too, like /home/user2/folder which the ownership is user
[22:49] <ballongen> 1:user1 on.
[22:49] <robin___> hmm
[22:49] <Cyberkilla> Hello, does anybody know if Mutter will be getting support for proper rounded window decorations?
[22:49] <robin___> !pastebinit
[22:49] <duffydack> robin___, are you sure you dont still have sda2
[22:49] <Guest8481> forlan it's different from Adobe Flash Player, isn't it?
[22:50] <forlan> Guest8481: same just different names
[22:50] <imi> which package do I need to install to get package install hints when I type a command name not installed already?
[22:50] <robin___> duffydack, looking at gparted all i have are a 1mb partition for bad sectors and the rest for ubuntu
[22:50] <coz_> hey guys... normally it was easy to change the "start-here" icon for the menus... I am not able to do that easily now... something changed>> how to do t his now ?? :)
[22:50] <Jordan_U> imi: command-not-found
[22:50] <Cyberkilla> KDE, OS X, and even Windows 7 have the ability to draw nice anti-aliased window borders. GNOME has no such facility. I assume that Mutter is the thing that would have to implement it?
[22:50] <duffydack> robin___, reboot then, might need to re-read the partition table or something...
[22:50] <thune3> robin___: i agree you still have some win7 remnant, you can set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub, if the only os you want in grub is the ubuntu
[22:51] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  ive notices some Icon themes ignore the changed  icons in some cases and use their own.
[22:51] <Guest8481> to get with the nice women you have to risk your life, don't you?
[22:51] <imi> thanks
[22:51] <dajhorn> ballongen: user2 needs execute permission on all parent directories.   chmod g+X
[22:51] <tobiasz> why is alsa so RETARDED? I can't disable the sound output playback of my microphone, and I have to hear myself talking to mic
[22:51] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  yeah that 's what I have seen as well
[22:51] <ballongen> dajhorn,  thnaks
[22:51] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  we looked into it once in here ages ago. never did figure it out. :)
[22:51] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  but chaning the icon in the theme  doesnt seem to work
[22:52] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  no problem... i will try to figure this out  or find someone who knows :")
[22:52] <Gambino> kazagistar, Thank you. It didn't work at all but I got into Windows anyway from /host.
[22:52] <thune3> tobiasz: sounds like you have a "capture feedback" slider that is feeding microphone back directly on the sound card.
[22:53] <tobiasz> thune3 I can't see such slider
[22:53] <beppo> anyone knows where reading and writing to the same disc makes the whole system hanging? lucid
[22:53] <ballongen> dajhorn: no success, should i change something more in smb.conf?
[22:53] <beppo> not where, why
[22:54] <pHro_> is anyone here familiar with the fail2ban package?
[22:54] <epinky> rileyp: you there? , can you check if tomcat is running?
[22:55] <ballongen> gotta go tnx
[22:55] <Cyberkilla> Argh
[22:55] <dajhorn> ballongen: First, check that the user can read the folder through a local shell account.
[22:56] <dajhorn> ballongen: Second, look at the /var/log/samba for obvious error messages.  Remember that you need to restart smbd for some changes to be applied.
[22:57] <dajhorn> ballongen: Third, check the read/write masks in the smb.conf file.  You may need to check the man pages.  They will probably be in octal form, like 0700.  You'll need to make them something like 0770.
[22:57] <Vic_Sage_The_Que> hey I have a question what version of ubuntu is best for a 1.3ghz P3
[22:57] <psperez> question on OWA and Ubuntu
[22:58] <dajhorn> ballongen: Gotta go.  Hopefully somebody else will pick up.
[22:58] <red2kic> Vic_Sage_The_Que: Use it as your home theater PC, I guess. If anything, avoid -desktop metapackages and install bare essential packages.
[22:58] <forlan> Vic_Sage_The_Que: lubuntu
[22:59] <Vic_Sage_The_Que> and how do i get the rotation to work xorg has a bug and i doubt it has been fixed
[22:59] <psperez> *************OWA and Ubuntu security question
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> Aloha
[23:00] <forlan> Vic_Sage_The_Que: lol
[23:00] <Vic_Sage_The_Que> this has a 16mb trident cyberblade chipset
[23:00] <ikonia> psperez: how about ask it rather than keep saying that
[23:01] <psperez> well, it be nice if someone would raise their hand and volunteer to discuss
[23:01] <forlan> lol
[23:01] <ikonia> psperez: you have to ask a question for someone to step forward
[23:01] <gFred> beh
[23:01] <Vic_Sage_The_Que> i wanna be able to have the screen rotate like it does in winblows
[23:01] <gFred> http://pastebin.com/a4ysLdXa
[23:01] <ikonia> psperez: people don't know if they know the answer until you ask
[23:01] <gFred> That's why I hate ffmpeg :S
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> psperez: just ask the channel. If someone can reply thenthey will
[23:02] <psperez> OK here is the questions.  Am I more secure if I use OWA while on Ubuntu
[23:02] <ikonia> psperez: n
[23:02] <ikonia> no
[23:02] <ikonia> psperez: I assume you mean outlook web access
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> What's owa?
[23:02] <gFred> Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/a4ysLdXa
[23:03] <psperez> yes
[23:03] <ikonia> psperez: in that case "no"
[23:03] <psperez> why not
[23:03] <ikonia> psperez: why would it
[23:03] <ryan22> using maverick, whats the easiest way to boot into the command-line
[23:03] <Vic_Sage_The_Que> screen rotation on my tablet pc any way to do it????
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> psperez: the attachments viruses will not affect ubuntu as most are windows based
[23:03] <psperez> will if I got some virus that was targeted at MS
[23:03] <makaveli0129> does anyone know the command to unblacklist a driver?
[23:04] <ryan22> i dont feel comfortable updating xorg with x loaded
[23:04] <red2kic> !blacklist | makaveli0129
[23:04] <ikonia> psperez: then clearly that wouldn't affect it,
[23:04] <red2kic> makaveli0129: Something opposite of that, I'd imaginge.
[23:04] <psperez> so seems like the answer is oyer
[23:04] <ikonia> ryan22: it's not a problem
[23:04] <ikonia> psperez: no, not really
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> psperez: windows virus don't touch ubuntu as it is linux
[23:04] <Flare183> !virus | psperez
[23:04] <max_> Yesterday, I was able to use GRUB to boot into Windows 7. I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and now I'm unable to boot into windows. It appears in grub but when I select to boot into, nothing but the flashing underscore appears, without an end.
[23:05] <ikonia> psperez: that's general mail, owa still has the same client and security risks no matter the platform
[23:05] <ryan22> ikonia: it has beeen in the past. i know i can init 3 on sidux to avoid but i cant find a way to close x on mavrick
[23:05] <karthee> psperez: Even I also tried for setting up MS owa on Evolution  .. But didnt work .. looks like it works only if you have MAPI ..  i could see a bug raise in 2005's  but no solution yet ..
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> max_: try running: sudo update-grub ,then rebooting
[23:05] <psperez> if someone sends me a message with a load, then it really can't run on ubuntu, correct!
[23:05] <ikonia> psperez: it depends
[23:06] <ryan22> i dont gt a command-line when i sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop either
[23:06] <poutsi> anybody else happen to have a combination of nokia booklet + lucid lynx?
[23:06] <psperez> how does it depend
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> psperez: they are coded for windows files and windows constructs so it won't touch ubuntu
[23:06] <gFred> yeah, I told ya. ffmpeg sucks
[23:06] <ikonia> psperez: if the command/exploit is specifc to microsoft, then no, you won't be effected, if the expoit connetains generic command like "mail" and mass mail out script, then yes, that will hit you
[23:06] <poutsi> actually, anybody happen to have any gma500 hw running with lucid? installing the drivers from the ppa breaks suspend/hibernate for me
[23:07] <psperez> so the answer is yes, then I'm more secure correct
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> gFred: you can tweak the file to match the bitrate then you can do what you wish. Its not ffmpegs job to match bitrates but they must match to do whayt you wish
[23:07] <ikonia> psperez: "no"
[23:07] <psperez> doesn't that mean I've reduce my exposure a lot more
[23:07] <makaveli0129> red2kic, that doesn't work i tried !blacklist b43
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> Gfred: its like saying mount sucks because it fails the mountpoint doesn't exist
[23:08] <ikonia> psperez: if your question is "will microsoft virus get me on ubuntu" then answer is no. if your question is "is owa more secure on ubuntu" the answer is "no
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> Ikonia: nice
[23:08] <MaRk-I> makaveli0129: read the instructions again you cant use "
[23:08] <MaRk-I> ughh danm keyboard
[23:08] <gFred> ActionParsnip: well, I just wan't a copy of the first 120 minutes - with exactly the same settings. I know you're probably right in what you says, but to me that doesn't sound like an difficult task you even need to use the word "bitrate" in :P
[23:09] <max_> tried that grub update command, didn't seem to do anything. any other suggestions ActionParnship?
[23:09] <tobiasz> mute in mic doesn't work
[23:09] <tobiasz> can't mute the mic playback
[23:09] <MaRk-I> makaveli0129: you cant use !blacklist in your pc that's command here
[23:09] <psperez> ikonia, can you be more specific why not, give me an actual example.
[23:09] <Kyngdom> has anyone here had any trouble with samba4?
[23:09] <Kyngdom> im in a pickle
[23:09] <ikonia> psperez: more specific??? how can I be more specific
[23:09] <forlan> psperez: is clearly a troll
[23:10] <ikonia> psperez: you are safe from microsoft virus's on ubuntu, OWA as a product is not safer on any other platorm than the other
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> Max_: I don't dualboot dude so have no experience of grub at all
[23:10] <makaveli0129> mark-l, this command was run sudobash -c 'echo -e "blacklist b43\nblacklist ssb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf' before and it black listed b43 do you know how to undo that?
[23:10] <max_> Okay, so I might as well re-ask the question then: Grub detects windows 7, but after upgrading to 10.04, I can't boot into windows 7 anymore. Still appears in grub, but when I select it and hit enter I'm shown a flashing underscore that never ends.
[23:11] <Aeronius> quit
[23:11] <psperez> OK, the way I understand it, If I get message with a load to run on MS, then it should not be able to run on nix
[23:11] <arooni> i want to be visually alerted each minute on ubuntu 10.04; i.e. when a minute passes; a white flash on the screen or something;  or something to let me know a minute has passed (taht is not a clock).  ideas?
[23:11] <ikonia> psperez: the odds are slim that it would be a problem on ubuntu
[23:11] <psperez> forlan, what the hell is a troll, can you assist or just use up space
[23:11] <forlan> lol
[23:11] <wizard_> arooni, whats the point of this
[23:12] <edbian> arooni, I can help you write a nifty script.  PM me?
[23:12] <makaveli0129> mark-l, nvmd i found the conf file and just deleted the lines that should fix it hopefully'
[23:12] <oneirosFade> psperez: A virus written for Windows won't hurt Linux, but it can be passed through if it's piggybacked on an attachment.  If the target is the web platform itself, however, then it doesn't matter on which platform you're accessing it, as the virus is written for the platform itself.
[23:12] <ikonia> edbian: while true; do echo "a minute has gone" sleep 60; done;
[23:12] <psperez> So, am I not reducing my exposure? yes
[23:12] <ikonia> oops
[23:12] <ikonia> arooni: ^ that was for you
[23:12] <ikonia> psperez: NO
[23:12] <wizard_> anyone get a gd site for widgets for ubuntu 10.4 and not screenlets cheers
[23:12] <edbian> ikonia, I'm gonna use notify-send.  But that's the idea yes.
[23:12] <arooni> wizard_,  i get distracted easily and need to be reminded that time is passing so i can get back on task
[23:12] <amin_> does we have low level formattin linux ubuntu
[23:12] <ikonia> edbian: close enough
[23:13] <arooni> ikonia, wont that just echo to stdout?
[23:13] <wizard_> arooni, how about a tazer lol jk
[23:13] <ikonia> arooni: yeah, you can replace "echo" with what ever you want
[23:13] <ridin> >>> print "maybe\tthis\tisn\'t\tso\tbad"
[23:13] <ridin> maybe	this	isn't	so	bad
[23:13] <arooni> wizard_, thatd be great if u could stand by me each minute and give me a taze
[23:13] <amin_> do we have  low level format in linux ubuntu????/?////
[23:13] <arooni> ikonia, any way to make screen flash?
[23:13] <littlebear> arooni: add one to cron.d with */10
[23:13] <ridin> oops, oh well
[23:13] <psperez> Can anyone give me an example of a virus that was not platform specific
[23:13] <wizard_> arooni, I like you thinking not on the taze lol
[23:14] <ikonia> arooni: can't think of something of the top of my head, maybe fbsetbg
[23:14] <wizard_> your*
[23:14] <aeon-ltd> psperez: none, some bridge *nixes, but not all. phishing is lmost universal
[23:14] <max_> Anyone?
[23:14] <aeon-ltd> *almost
[23:14] <gFred> [4-tea-2]: report: avidemux did the job
[23:14] <max_> I mean, I don't even get a bootmgr error, so it must be Grub's problem...
[23:14] <makaveli0129> ok all i'm trying to get my wireless working in 10.04 and the jockey log just keeps giving me this "kmod disabled, bcm43xx: blacklisted, b43: blacklisted, b43legacy: enabled"
[23:15] <z3r0c00l> ubuntu-10.04-amd64-alternate is missing lot's of crypto modules, does anybody know somethin about his?
[23:15] <figure002> psperez: that OWA thing.. it's a windows app right? how would you run it on Ubuntu?
[23:15] <wizard_> so anyone any gd sites for wigets for ubuntu 10.4 looking real geeky ones lol
[23:15] <ikonia> z3r0c00l: it should contain nothing different from the desktop install
[23:15] <psperez> https:website.........
[23:15] <forlan> z3r0c00l: look for em
[23:15] <Purpley> Hey guys, how do I send files to a ssh server? through the CLI
[23:16] <ikonia> psperez: scp
[23:16] <ikonia> psperez: sorry
[23:16] <ikonia> Purpley: scp
[23:16] <Purpley> Thanks
[23:16] <^peanut^> Purpley: scp "files to copy" username@remotehost:/path
[23:17] <psperez> well, this is not what I thought it would be, too vague to get more knowledge and maybe while others read along they would also learn
[23:17] <violinappren> Purpley: sprinkle fairy dust on the files
[23:17] <figure002> psperez: oh wait, it's a website
[23:17] <ikonia> psperez: there is nothing to learn
[23:18] <ikonia> psperez: what you are asking is the same as "will I be safe from car accidents by walking" of course you will, as you're not in a car, but you can still get hit by a car
[23:18] <ikonia> psperez: windows virus's will be no problem for you, however OWA's issues will still affect you
[23:19] <idioteque> b\
[23:19] <idioteque> hi
[23:19] <idioteque> im having trouble with trackpad on netbook remix
[23:19] <z3r0c00l> @ikonia: but it does, as a workaround I downloaded the kerne image from ubuntu.com extracted the missind modules and now I can mount mein encrypted partions
[23:19] <Purpley> Also, is there a program that can unzip a archive on the CLI?
[23:20] <z3r0c00l> @foran: what is em?
[23:20] <forlan> Purpley: unzip
[23:20] <Purpley> Ahh thanks :)
[23:20] <sander> Anyone know if ubuntu got exchange support ?
[23:20] <forlan> ;P
[23:20] <^peanut^> Purpley: unzip, tar, gunzip
[23:20] <sander> So I can access my contacts/calenders from my job.
[23:20] <sander> and mail.
[23:20] <idioteque> i tried to fix my trackpad using mouseprobe now its all messed up
[23:20]  * hiexpo strange
[23:21] <ikonia> sander: ubuntu as a product doesn't but applications such as evolution can access exchange if your exchange server is in web mode
[23:21] <^peanut^> sander: take a look at the email client "Evolution"
[23:21] <idioteque> can someone tell me how my trackpad can work the way it is supposed to in netbooks?
[23:21] <psperez> Ikonia, dosen't seem you be a good its person to discuss within a group to come up with solutions
[23:21] <Sephorah> Hey there
[23:21] <sander> ikonia, web mode.. what is that really.. I can log into a web interface to access my email.
[23:21] <ikonia> psperez: there is no "solution"
[23:22] <ikonia> sander: that's normally enough, it's imap mode and a web service (not just the gui) that's required
[23:22] <^peanut^> sander: evolution the email client uses the rpc/https web interface to owa to get your email
[23:22] <Purpley> If I have a folder with items in it with the name X, is there a way to copy all the items in folder X quickly into another folder? Im thinking of using a wildcard but im not sure if it  works with cp
[23:22] <Sephorah> I've just download the alpha 2 live dvd but I got troubles when trying to install it on my computer. The partitioner just allow me to install it on my usb device (used for the boot) and not on my hard disk
[23:22] <bazhang> Sephorah, #ubuntu+1 for that
[23:22] <Sephorah> oh okay
[23:22] <Sephorah> thanks
[23:23] <^peanut^> Purpley: cp -a folder
[23:23] <idioteque> how to set the trackpad to default settings under ubuntu netbook???
[23:23] <Purpley> ^peanut^: Ahh thanks!
[23:23] <^peanut^> Purpley: cp -a will copy the folder name and everything inside it.
[23:23] <^peanut^> Purpley: np
[23:24] <psperez> Ikonia: think of a virus that was in the wild in the last few months.  Now would I have been attacked by it if I was using OWA.  Lets say the Alureion-H
[23:24] <violinappren> idioteque: preferences > mouse
[23:24] <ikonia> psperez: if it is a virus for the Microsoft platform, no
[23:24] <violinappren> idioteque: from system menu
[23:24] <^peanut^> psperez: ubuntu connecting to web based OWA? no you wouldn't have been affected
[23:25] <hiexpo> or just gksudo nautilus
[23:25] <idioteque> violinappren, doesnt work... :S i ran modprobe and now it works like a ps2 mouse no scrolling support
[23:25] <idioteque> :S
[23:25] <sander> ikonia, ^peanut^ is all functionality in outlook supported?
[23:25] <tobiasz> can't mute the mic playback
[23:25] <ikonia> sander: basic only
[23:25] <tobiasz> doesn't work
[23:25] <ikonia> Sephorah: mail/calander etc
[23:26] <ikonia> ops
[23:26] <sander> ikonia, and what do you mean by basic?
[23:26] <Sephorah> np
[23:26] <psperez> ikonia, doesn't that by default eleminate a lot of risk, so I'm safer correct?  what does that translate to a safe evn
[23:26] <ikonia> sander: mail / calander, stuff like that
[23:26] <ikonia> psperez: I'll say it one more time
[23:26] <bazhang> psperez, you have asked and been answered. Please lets move on
[23:26] <forlan> psperez: use emacs for mail ,you'll bee much safer
[23:26] <forlan> be*
[23:26] <sander> ikonia, what about booking meetings?.. contact sync ?
[23:26] <littlebear> psperez: use google?
[23:26] <ikonia> psperez: if you question is "does using ubuntu remove the risk of microsoft virus" the answer is "yes" - if the question is "is using MS OWA on ubuntu" safer, the answer is no
[23:27] <^peanut^> sander: outlook itself is a beast of a email client. the evolution guys didn't want all that bloat, so they put in the most common options that outlook has... at a bare minium...and then added other stuff that outlook doesn't have
[23:27] <psperez> thanks
[23:27] <ikonia> sander: contact sync won't work (from memory) without an ldap intermedory
[23:27] <idioteque> i ran the command below, and now i cant use scrolling from the trackpad... :S echo options psmouse proto=exps > /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe
[23:27] <ikonia> calander sync, sure
[23:27] <idioteque> can someone help me set this back to default settings
[23:28] <violinappren> idioteque: move this file to your home directory or anywhere else
[23:28] <oneirosFade> idioteque: Run everything before the ">", look at what it output, then open the psmouse.modprobe and remove those lines from the end of the file, I'd say
[23:29] <makaveli0129> if any one can help me it would be much apprieciated
[23:29] <idioteque> oneirosFade, or violinappren ?
[23:29] <makaveli0129> i'm trying to get my wireless card to work but it won't
[23:29] <idioteque> :S
[23:29] <makaveli0129> iwconfig shows the card and shows the driver is in use but i can't use the card at all
[23:30] <hiexpo> Purpley,  - use gksudo nautilus and copy and put them where u want to    / but > be careful that is a dangerous command also
[23:30] <oneirosFade> idioteque: Your choice - IDK if that file was there beforehand or not, so both solutions may amount to the same end
[23:30] <MaRk-I> idioteque: that command wrote "options psmouse proto=exps in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe     your might want to remove that line or commented prepending it with ##
[23:31] <idioteque> ok thanks... guys... lemme try removing that line then...
[23:31] <idioteque> also my desktop icons are huge after that command... is this related? im using netbook remix by the way
[23:32] <buntoob> what does it mean for a virtual bridge device (br0) to have it's own IP address? does that traffic get sent to the host's kernel?
[23:32] <Purpley> Why is it that when I try to extract files out of a tar with tar -x file.tar it just freezes?
[23:32] <buntoob> i thought a bridge was supposed to be a hub/switch
[23:33] <buntoob> Purpley: it's probably not frozen
[23:33] <oneirosFade> AFK
[23:33] <buntoob> Purpley: just taking long time
[23:33] <Purpley> buntoob: Any way to check its progress?
[23:33] <Jet^Skier> idioteque, this may be a stupid question but why not just use the gnome menus? system>administration>mouse?
[23:33] <hiexpo> !bridge
[23:33] <lobozoo> Hey guys just wanted to know if there is a way to pause the chat to make it easier to read and follow instructions?
[23:33] <violinappren> Purpley: tar -xvf
[23:33] <Purpley> violinappren: Ahh thanks
[23:33] <buntoob> Purpley: you can open a new term and check the file size, and use the -v flag
[23:33] <^peanut^> lobozoo: scroll up and down?
[23:33] <hiexpo> lobozoo,  read up
[23:34] <buntoob> !bridge
[23:35] <makaveli0129> When i try to install the driver through the driver thing i get the following error in jockey.log: 2010-07-16 18:26:26,739 DEBUG: BroadcomWLHandler enabled(): kmod disabled, bcm43xx: blacklisted, b43: blacklisted, b43legacy: enabled
[23:35] <Lasivian> I'm getting an error when I try to shutdown because I have network file systems mounted in fstab that are not unmounting before I shutdown, how can I fix that? thanks
[23:35] <lobozoo> even when im scrolling , everytime a new chat comes through it takes me straight to the bottom , then i have to scrolll up to to find what i was reading
[23:36] <^peanut^> lobozoo: what chat client are you using?
[23:36] <Jet^Skier> lobozoo, cut and paste into a txt window maybe?
[23:36] <violinappren> broadcom chipsets have got to be the biggest piece of [bleep] ever
[23:36] <^peanut^> lobozoo: I am testing out Quassel IRC client and it's working great for what you are looking to do
[23:36] <lobozoo> empathy Im client
[23:37] <goncalossilva> hello!
[23:37] <Kahlua1> Pidgin
[23:37] <violinappren> !hi | goncalossilva
[23:37] <goncalossilva> I've just installed Ubuntu on a macbook pro
[23:37] <goncalossilva> somehow, I can't get it to boot... it just hangs :|
[23:37] <Lasivian> how do I umount something I mounted in fstab?
[23:37] <goncalossilva> any ideias?
[23:37] <^peanut^> lobozoo: I can scoll way up in the chat and then scroll back down to see the new chat stuff
[23:38] <goncalossilva> (yes, I don't want Mac OS X)
[23:38] <^peanut^> Lasivian: sudo umount /mount/path.
[23:38] <idioteque> it worked!!! :)
[23:38] <lobozoo> that sounds better
[23:38] <idioteque> thanks a lot guys!
[23:38] <violinappren> goncalossilva: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[23:38] <lobozoo> i will try thanx
[23:38] <^peanut^> lobozoo: good luck
[23:38] <MaRk-I> makaveli0129: look in /etc/modprobe.d/      find either blacklist.conf or b43blacklist.conf    and remove the one you dont want blacklisted anymore
[23:38] <MaRk-I> ha!! left
[23:39] <Lasivian> ^peanut^: and i'm guessing I can just drop that in a .sh in /etc/rc6.d or rc0.d to do it on shutdown?
[23:39] <goncalossilva> violinappren: that's not it... I've freshly installed Ubuntu over Mac OS X and can't get it to boot :(
[23:39] <idioteque> is there any program for ubuntu netbook that enables multiple touch on trackpads... like zooming etc?
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> Lasivian:  things should unmount as part of a normal shutdown process..
[23:39] <violinappren> goncalossilva: same solution applies
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> Lasivian:  no need to mess with  scripts in rcXXXX
[23:40] <^peanut^> Lasivian: well... it all depends on what u are trying to do. If you don't need the mount then just remove it from /etc/fstab. if you do need it every now and then, you could have a default option set in rc.local that unmounts it.
[23:40] <MaRk-I> goncalossilva: what video card do you have?
[23:40] <Lasivian> Dr_Willis: I'm getting this error: "CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid 331" when I shutdown
[23:41] <Lasivian> Dr_Willis: I have windows shares mounted in my fstab manually
[23:41] <violinappren> idioteque: not yet but there was an announcement
[23:41] <oneirosFade> Lasivian: You may want to look into pam_mount for that
[23:41] <Lasivian> oneirosFade: I had to mount them that way to make vlc work, this is a media player
[23:42] <idioteque> thanks violinappren, i'll wait  :) ubuntu netbook is just awesome! im loving it.
[23:42] <Dr_Willis> Lasivian:   if a user mounts windows shares. they should appear in the users .gvfs directory  - but i dont recall any issues with windows shares from fstab like yours.
[23:42] <oneirosFade> Lasivian: Yeah.  Just suggesting b/c I have Samba/CIFS shares set up for pam_mount, so when I log in, they mount, and when I logout/shutdown, they unmount
[23:42] <janisozaur> how do I create screencasts, reliably (I don't want a bunch of screenshots, but fluid motion)?
[23:42] <Lasivian> hrrm
[23:42] <^peanut^> Lasivian: do you reboot your media player often? If not, when you do reboot, do the drives mount up again after? Does the system hang because of that error and then you have to manaully power off and power on the system again?
[23:43] <Dr_Willis> janisozaur:  try the 'recordmydesktop' package and the gui for it
[23:43] <Lasivian> ^peanut^: they do remount properly, the system does hang
[23:43] <violinappren> janisozaur: instanbul
[23:43] <goncalossilva> MaRk-I: I believe it's a GF 320M
[23:43] <^peanut^> Lasivian: yea, you could try the pam_mount and or autofs to mount samba shares
[23:43] <Dr_Willis> Lasivian:  thers also the 'fusesmb' (or was it smbfuse) tool.
[23:43] <goncalossilva> MaRk-I: but If I use the live CD I can boot to my Ubuntu installation, so I'm guessing it's a bootloader issue
[23:44] <Lasivian> well, I know they do work just fine the way I have them mounting now, but they fail to unmount, which seems like it would be easy to fix without changing the whole system which I already understand :)
[23:45] <lobozoo_> <^peanut^: thanx dude this is much better
[23:45] <^peanut^> lobozoo: =) nice man. I'm starting to like it alot =)
[23:45] <Dr_Willis> Lasivian:  perhaps check the forums and get a clue why they are failing.  Only reason i can think of. is that you got some progreams that are still using the share.. but that dosent really make a lot of sence.
[23:46] <Silent_Dream> I'm upgrading to 10.04, from a previous upgrade which froze halfway, so im on a livecd, doing the alternate install method....and I am getting some complicated grub questions that I dont know how to answer
[23:46] <lobozoo_> <^peanut^: just a pitty personal messages dont show up a different colour
[23:46] <Lasivian> Dr_Willis: /etc/rc0.d/K15umountnfs.sh <-- that should umount fstab mounts, right?
[23:46] <pHro_>  there is an automatic mysql backup going on oon this server i have recently started maintaing, i have looked through the crontabs of all users but can not see any script, it runs everyday at the same exact time so i am sure its automated, anybody know where i can find out where the script that is running is?
[23:46] <^peanut^> Lasivian: might be frowned on here. but  on my redhat based systems (2 of them I think), I have a custom rc3.d (thats my runlevel) script with name01 that just unmounts the mounts that cause me issues during a rebot
[23:46] <Silent_Dream> I am dual booting with Grub i should mention
[23:46] <^peanut^> lol reboot
[23:46] <oneirosFade> Dr_Willis / Lasivian : IIRC, from having the same problem at one point, the issue is that the network interface goes down before it tries to unmount the filesystems, so Samba/CIFS can't actually communicate the unmounting with the server
[23:47] <Lasivian> because if that's not unmounting them then something else is wrong
[23:47] <hiexpo> !lol
[23:47] <^peanut^> Lasivian: just what oneirosFade said.
[23:47] <reppypeppy> My sound shuts off after a few minuted on youtube videos, but the other sounds in other applications does not shut off. I am using 10.04
[23:47] <reppypeppy> ubottu, really?
[23:47] <arooni> how can i do a new line in a string passed to notify-send?
[23:47] <arooni> how can i do a new line in a string passed to notify-send?
[23:47] <Dr_Willis> reppypeppy:  try the html5 feature of youtube. :) but you need to use the google browser for that.
[23:48] <erkan^> It is first time for me that I chat here via Empathy :S
[23:48] <violinappren> !help | Silent_Dream
[23:48] <reppypeppy> Dr.Willis, oh, but is ther enow ay to fix the problem in ubuntu?
[23:48] <Lasivian> oneirosFade: yes, i'm running /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh at shutdown and reboot, I think there might be some reason it's failing to unmount tham
[23:48] <beppo> im unable to change passwords with passwd
[23:48] <Dr_Willis> reppypeppy:  i dont have the issue.. and flash can be very hard to 'fix' because its all closed source.
[23:48] <janisozaur> how do I crop video file?
[23:48] <Silent_Dream> violinappren: I didnt ask to ask, i asked
[23:48] <beppo> anyone knows how to fix?
[23:48] <Lasivian> hrrm, I should find my shutdown log
[23:48] <Dr_Willis> janisozaur:  ffmpeg/mencoder, front ends to those tools.
[23:49] <hiexpo> !media | janisozaur
[23:49] <violinappren> Silent_Dream: you did not state what the GRUB questions are
[23:49] <Dr_Willis> beppo:  tell us what you are tryign to do exactly
[23:49] <reppypeppy> Dr.Willis, in the older releases of ubuntu people seemed to think it was something that pulseaudio was doing wrong
[23:49] <beppo> passwd localuser
[23:49] <^peanut^> beppo: what error are you getting?
[23:49] <beppo> mom
[23:49] <janisozaur> !tab | reppypeppy
[23:49] <beppo> its in german
[23:50] <beppo> http://pastebin.com/C8T3zWSE
[23:50] <Silent_Dream> violinappren: True.  it would be a lot to paste in this channel.
[23:50] <^peanut^> beppo: can you translate?
[23:50] <ZykoticK9> beppo, use sudo to change another users password --- "sudo passwd USERNAME"
[23:50] <Dr_Willis> reppypeppy:  pulse audio always gets blamed..     try it in a differnt browser perhaps. Try it in a window manager, thast dosent start pulse audio perhaps.   You could check the forums also. there may be others with similer issues.

[23:51] <beppo> it says, passwd: error when changing the authentification token
[23:51] <reppypeppy> Dr_Willis: i would like some way to get it so firefox does not use pulseaudio
[23:51] <beppo> it's done as root
[23:51] <oneirosFade> Lasivian: Not trying to force you into using another method, for sure.  But just like with anything in the Linux world, there's untold numbers of ways to get something done, but if you choose the path less traveled, just know that you may not have anyone to guide you ;)
[23:51] <^peanut^> beppo: are you using ldap or nis as your password backend?
[23:51] <janisozaur> beppo: you can set LANG env variable to "C" before running a program to switch it's translation to english (well, in most cases english) "LANG=C passwd ..."
[23:52] <beppo> ah ok
[23:52] <beppo> yes ldap
[23:52] <beppo> but i also have local users
[23:52] <^peanut^> beppo: so are you changing a local user password or ldap?
[23:52] <beppo> locale user
[23:52] <beppo> -e
[23:52] <beppo> root@vdr01:~/lib# LANG=C passwd root
[23:52] <beppo> passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[23:52] <beppo> passwd: password unchanged

[23:53] <FloodBot4> beppo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:53] <Lasivian> oneirosFade: Yes, but part of the reason i'm using Ubuntu is to learn why things do and do not work :)
[23:53] <Silent_Dream> violinappren: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464731/
[23:53] <^peanut^> beppo: so of you run getent passwd | grep the username do you see the username?
[23:54] <beppo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/464732/
[23:54] <Silent_Dream> violinappren: I am worried if I install a new grub, I will mess something up and then wont be able to access my other partition.
[23:55] <^peanut^> beppo: so you have 2 useraccounts with the same name but with 2 different uid's. that might cause the problem...
[23:55] <violinappren> Silent_Dream: why are you trying to install without grub? you should go back and install grub either on the root partition or the whole disk (if there are not existing boot manager)
[23:55] <oneirosFade> Lasivian: Sure, and a good reason, too.  Like I said earlier, and someone else echoed, the most common issue behind what's going wrong for you is that the network interface is being turned off (as part of the shutdown/reboot process) before the filesystems are unmounted.  Because of this, it unmounts locally, but can't communicate with the machine that's serving the fs, so CIFS hangs up after however l
[23:55] <oneirosFade> ong, and throws an error.
[23:55] <trism> arooni: notify-send "This is a message" $'This message has a newline.\nAnd more text on the second line.'
[23:55] <beppo> ah wait
[23:55] <Silent_Dream> violinappren: how do i "go back"
[23:55] <beppo> just added a user to ldap
[23:56] <beppo> deleted it now but problem persists
[23:56] <^peanut^> beppo: ok how bout create a new local user...like test1
[23:56] <arooni> thanks trism
[23:56] <^peanut^> beppo: then passwd test1
[23:56] <beppo> same
[23:56] <beppo> did it
[23:56] <^peanut^> beppo:  hmm
[23:56] <violinappren> Silent_Dream: what's installed on your other parition? you can install grub on the root partition of your new installation (like /dev/sda2 instead whole disk like /dev/sda) and chainload it from your other installation (if it supports so, is it another gnu/linux?)
[23:56] <^peanut^> beppo: can you pastbin your /etc/nsswitch.conf file
[23:57] <Kyngdom> wow
[23:57] <violinappren> Silent_Dream: no button at bottom to cancel?
[23:57] <Kyngdom> samba4 is impossible to get rid of

[23:57] <kazagistar> I am trying to create a VPN using openvpn that allows all connected computers to see each other's netbios broadcasts like a bridged tap connection, but NOT be bridged to any local LAN, which is what all the tutorials and examples show. how can I do this?
[23:57] <violinappren> Silent_Dream: then type no
[23:57] <oneirosFade> Lasivian: So, if I understand the way you -want- to work this through, you may have luck setting those partitions to "noauto" in fstab, then making mount/unmount scripts for them and putting them in the right places set to run at the right points in the up/down sequence
[23:58] <Silent_Dream> violinappren: doesnt do anything
[23:58] <violinappren> Silent_Dream: press enter?
[23:58] <reppypeppy> thanks
[23:58] <Silent_Dream> violinappren: i do, and the screen flashes, but it goes back to the yes/no prompt
[23:58] <malandrao> hi
[23:58] <violinappren> Silent_Dream: try just 'n' and enter
[23:59] <Lasivian> oneirosFade: aye, I think there is an error in how i'm mounting it actually, i'll come back if I need more info but I know i'm doing it the hard way :) thanks
[23:59] <Silent_Dream> violinappren:  same issue, flashes with some text really fast, and goes back instantly to this same prompt
[23:59] <^peanut^> beppo: hmm.. only thing I see in there that I never use because it never liked me was the compat option. what happens when you change password and shadow to files ldap?
[23:59] <violinappren> Silent_Dream: what happens when you press tab more than once?
[23:59] <Silent_Dream> violinappren: pressing tab will swap betwen yes and no
[23:59] <Silent_Dream> repeatedly
