[00:00] <paris> ilovefairuz! great, I meant something beside myql-query-browser.
[00:00] <bidaboy> WaltzingAlong, and virtualbox can open vmware virtual machines?
[00:01] <ilovefairuz> paris: you could search synaptic
[00:01] <kinks> is there not a free vmware player in the repo?
[00:01] <WaltzingAlong> yeah, bidaboy, ask google
[00:01] <pars> Damn loosing my mind I need to recover 1 folder :(
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> kinks: no, thats why that guide exists
[00:01] <Mqueue> ilovefairuz>>  do you know how to fix this one ?
[00:01] <bastidrazor> kinks: not in the repo's but there is a vmware-player
[00:01] <bidaboy> WaltzingAlong, ok thanks
[00:01] <ilovefairuz> !google > WaltzingAlong
[00:01] <DasEi> kinks: the ose version of vbox is
[00:01] <bastidrazor> kinks: available on the vmware page.
[00:01] <ilovefairuz> Mqueue: what's wrong now? can't boot windows?
[00:01] <WaltzingAlong> fuck
[00:02] <econdudeawesome> Is anyone else having trouble with minitube? Whats the deal?
[00:02] <pars> ActionParsnip: I cant fsck it, cant clear the journalling, cant use backup blocks... any options left lol?
[00:02] <ilovefairuz> econdudeawesome: youtube could have changed its markup and minitube cant parse it, leave the guy a comment
[00:02] <Caer> octavio-rdz: (I cant paste) ifconfig says eth1 is the wifi ; dmesg says "eth0: Broadcom ... Wireless controller" and then "udev: renamed eth0 to eth1", then "eth1: non IPv6"
[00:02] <Pici> WaltzingAlong: Please mind your language here.
[00:03] <ilovefairuz> !language ? WaltzingAlong
[00:03] <kinks> pars: yes, buy a new hard drive and use telekinesis to copy your data.
[00:03] <WaltzingAlong> anyone else?
[00:03] <econdudeawesome> ilovefairuz I don't have a launchpad account--do I need one to leave a comment?
[00:03] <WaltzingAlong> !language | WaltzingAlong
[00:03] <tokigalor> clonezilla is better for copyig data
[00:03] <DasEi> WaltzingAlong: your issue ?
[00:03] <bazhang> WaltzingAlong, ask a question
[00:03] <tokigalor> copying*
[00:03] <ilovefairuz> econdudeawesome: i mean the developer's blog
[00:03] <pars> kinks: hard drive is only 2 weeks old
[00:03] <WaltzingAlong> !listofwordsoneshouldnotuseinthischannel > WaltzingAlong
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> pars: foremost can read the partition and attempt to recover data. I STRONGLY suggest you think more and get a backup. That way you dont care if the drive dies as you can restore the data
[00:03] <econdudeawesome> ah
[00:04] <DasEi> !coc > WaltzingAlong
[00:04] <octavio-rdz> Caer: ok well it does detect your eth0
[00:04] <kinks> pars: in that case, refer to warranty, then use telekinesis to copy data? I don't know. :/
[00:04] <bazhang> WaltzingAlong, please /msg ubottu
[00:04] <octavio-rdz> now try ifconfig eth0
[00:04] <pars> ActionParsnip: damnit I guess ill just format it then :@
[00:04] <WaltzingAlong> /msg ubottu !coc
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> kinks: drive only has issues due to poweroutage during fsck
[00:04] <kinks> ah
[00:05] <DasEi> WaltzingAlong: may I pm you ?
[00:05] <rilliam> can anybody here tell me how to mount and smb share

[00:06] <pars> ActionParsnip: thanks for the help anyways, ill just have to format it - bye
[00:06] <Caer> octavio-rdz: because I tried adding a connection and it asks the MAC address
[00:06] <mducharme> I need it to work properly in ubuntu 10.04
[00:07] <mducharme> that's why I was asking in here
[00:07] <ridin> ilovefairuz, thanks
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> mducharme: check the HCL, HP are super supported
[00:07] <ilovefairuz> mducharme: HP ones are generally well supported

[00:09] <mducharme> actionparsnip and ilovefairuz - the HP laserjet they have right now doesn't work properly
[00:09] <Dr_Willis> mducharme:  I got a nice Brother  with wireless for $100 on sale. :) H:-2170W
[00:09] <dementor> i cant write i cant move the mouse
[00:09] <mducharme> I had told them to get an hp laserjet because it would work
[00:10] <mducharme> but the hp that they got was some kind of "winprinter"
[00:10] <ilovefairuz> dementor: what's the make and model, how are they connected?
[00:10] <Dr_Willis> mducharme:  theres some Hp's that have issues.. my brother had a slight issue.. but its best to reseaerch befor spending a lot of $$$
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> mducharme: grab the latest HPLIP, it should help
[00:10] <mducharme> laserjet 1018 model
[00:10] <Dr_Willis> mducharme:  thats why i like the new wireless/networked printers.
[00:11] <mducharme> uses some kind of zjstream protocl
[00:11] <mducharme> I had it working fine back when they were on opensuse
[00:11] <Dr_Willis> mducharme:  for a company. they should be checkin out the cost of ink and how much they are going to be printing. that can be 100x the xost of the printer over  the life of the printer.
[00:11] <mducharme> but since I moved the to ubuntu it hasn't worked
[00:11] <dementor> the mouse a wireles genius and the keyboard ia 4tech and thei are conectet to the serv thro a kcm switchi
[00:11] <dementor> kvm
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> dementor: try without the kvm
[00:12] <mducharme> and I tried upgrading the hplip, no difference
[00:12] <weedar> I want to cross-compile for sparc64 on my 64-bit Ubuntu, any ideas how? So far I've only found cross-compilers for sparc32-targets
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> weedar: use a chroot
[00:12] <dementor> the same i tryed
[00:12] <mducharme> the 1018 is suppposed to be compatible, but it isn't, that's why I wanted to make sure whatever it is is not a winprinter
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> !chroot
[00:12] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: that Brother printer worked OTB?
[00:13] <Caer> For an unknown reason my network applet doesn't show any Ethernet connection anymore, what should I do?
[00:13] <xStink> hi i have the strangest issue
[00:13] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  yes. Once i fitgured out how to get it networked right. I had to plug it into the wired network first to set up the wireless settings.
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> Caer: do you have an entry for it in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[00:13] <xStink> anyone around this time on a Sunday?
[00:14] <Caer> ActionParsnip: no, but neither for eth1 which the applet shows (but I can't see my router there)
[00:14] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: mine seems to work only when it feels like it. there are drivers in the repos for it but for whatever reason it doesn't always get recognized
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Caer: if you do, thats why. but you don't so its ok
[00:14] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  I  do think i had to manually install the proper brother package from teh repios for the drivers.  But there was some odd issue  where it would be real slow to print. A check of the forums suggest just using the Generic PCL5 driver. and now its printing quite well
[00:14] <ilovefairuz> dementor: what's the model of the switch ?
[00:14] <bidaboy> what is the best text to speech client
[00:14] <RealEyes> have you guys heard of the Starcraft II POL?
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Caer: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    websearch for the product line of the wired connection for guides
[00:14] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: thanks for the hint.
[00:14] <octavio-rdz> Caer: if you do ifconfig eht0 and it does show you the ip then it must be ok ..... if not you could try ifconfig eth0 up
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> bidaboy: there is no best app for ANYTHING.
[00:15] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  try the generic pcl5 perhaps. It was weird bug. it would take 40 min for it to print a little bity page..  :) i seiwtched to the genric pcl5 and not had any issues since.
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> bidaboy: theres no best anything in life
[00:15] <xStink> I installed 10.4, rebooted and everything works fine
[00:15] <dementor> ilovefairuz; is a lindy switch
[00:15] <Caer> octavio-rdz: ifconfig says "cannot find eth0"
[00:15] <Guest37482> anyone know how to install python 3.1.2?
[00:15] <ilovefairuz> bidaboy: search synaptic for "tts"
[00:15] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  also if says its out of toner.. You can put some black tape over   one of the 'windows' (a little pencil sized clear hole) on the Toner cart. and prioberly get a few 100+ more pages out of it. :)
[00:15] <xStink> then i update and all of a sudden i don't have permission to use sound, reboot or anything like that
[00:15] <ilovefairuz> dementor: no model? just "lindy"
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> bidaboy: there is espeak and festival I can think of, neither are best, nor are they worst
[00:16] <dementor> but ai try whit out the switch and the same plb
[00:16] <octavio-rdz> Caer: you if you just do eth0 it does show eth0?
[00:16] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  it said i was out of toner after 100 pages on one toner cart. :(   not sure how many i will actually get.
[00:16] <octavio-rdz> Caer: oops I mean if you just do ifconfig it does show eth0
[00:16] <Caer> ActionParsnip: lshw shows only eth1 (without naming it)
[00:17] <weedar> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the suggestion :) I'd prefer being able to compile for several architectures at once though, by specifying "cross-sparc32 cross-sparc64 amd64" for example to compile for sparc32/64 on a 64-bit x86 system
[00:17] <ilovefairuz> dementor: the keyboard is not detected even without the switch?
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Caer: you will need a ppa
[00:17] <Caer> octavio-rdz: no
[00:17] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: right now I just want to get it working again. \o/ for saving ink hehe
[00:17] <Guest37482> anyone know how to install python 3.1.2?
[00:17] <bidaboy> i want to say that is available for diferent langage
[00:17] <dementor> ilovefairuz,  yes is not detected
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Caer: then reboot and run:  dmesg | less     and read through, see if your ethernet port is detected at boot and if there are any issues with it
[00:17] <chris___1> http://imagebin.org/106644 im on an acer extensa 4620Z and it's running really hot. fancontrol isnt reading the configuration file sudo sensors-detect make, though it was written correctly
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> Guest37482: you will need a ppa]
[00:17] <octavio-rdz> Caer: strange if you said that dmesg | grep eth shows that is there
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  yea. i finally started looking in the forums for others with that slow issue.. and stumbled upon the fix. search the forums for my posts it will be ione of those.
[00:18] <ilovefairuz> dementor: the keyboard connection is usb ?
[00:18] <DasEi> Guest37482: any certain reason for this newer version ?
[00:18] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: will do thanks.
[00:18] <dementor> ilovefairuz, yes
[00:18] <Guest37482> not really
[00:18] <Caer> octavio-rdz: I did not says that ; it seemed like the wireless card started as eth0, then was renamed eth1
[00:19] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  over all - i give it a B+ - good price.. decent speed.. ok features..  :)  its just real LOUD when it first starts up.. and  its right next to my bed.. so the wife prints while im asleep and i hit the ceiling.
[00:19] <ilovefairuz> dementor: can you ssh into the machine from another one? and type lsusb
[00:19] <corpsegrindr> Has anyone succefully gotten HDMI audio to work on a nvidia G210? I have run every tutorial I can find  and have still not been able to get it working
[00:19] <Guest37482> i just like to keep things up to date and im new to python
[00:19] <DasEi> Guest37482: then stay with the repo one on a productional system or try in a vm first, as dependencies , by a small chance, can mess up
[00:19] <ilovefairuz> dementor: try attaching them without the switch and restart the computer
[00:19] <dementor> ilovefairuz, from this computer i cant
[00:20] <Ace2> I need help. I am running Ubuntu 10.04. I had the PC up and running when I left today. When I came back I went to get back on and it was froze on a black screen. I was able to see and move my mouse around but the password screen would not come up. I restarted and it wont go past "Grub loading, please wait..." Error 17
[00:20] <Caer> ActionParsnip: what is a ppa? but dmesg after a reboot said something like 'udev: eth0 renamed to eth1' (eth1 is the wireless card after the boot)
[00:20] <octavio-rdz> Caer: my bad then .... did you read about the problem about the dual booting? that I typed after you said you were going to reboot?
[00:20] <Guest37482> does kubuntu 10.04 have a version built in?
[00:20] <DasEi> !latest > Guest37482
[00:20] <bidaboy> virtualbox can open virtual machines created via vmware?
[00:20] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: perhaps move the printer? where do I find that PCL5 driver? in repos?
[00:20] <barfster> Guest37482: cat /etc/issue
[00:21] <Caer> octavio-rdz: yes, but you said you changed something in the card properties ; I cant see any. Plus the card works fine under windows.
[00:21] <ju2wheels> bidaboy: yes, just dont install vmware tools on i think is the only requirement
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | caer
[00:21] <DasEi> bidaboy: with some tricks, yes, but not in general, a vm is easily created on half-efficient equipment
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> Guest37482: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/python3.1
[00:21] <bidaboy> DasEi, how?
[00:22] <ilovefairuz> dementor: well we can't troubleshoot without ssh, try attaching without switch and restarting
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> Caer: sounds like the wifi is being named as et0 but the wired is usually eth0, is the wired connection enabled in bios?
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  it was allready insatlled. heres the thread -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1461480
[00:22] <octavio-rdz> Caer: I don't have a windows box right now ... but as I remember it was in Control Panel -> Network -> Select the network then properties
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  change the printer from brother whatever.. to -> Make and Model: Generic PCL 5e Printer Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.0
[00:22] <DasEi> bidaboy: vbox is like a pc in pc, with all parts, so you just use a iso and install to vbox's harddrive, for deeper info look at their homepage or join ##vbox
[00:22] <Caer> ActionParsnip: the card worked fine yesterday ; I will check the BIOS
[00:23] <bidaboy> DasEi, ok thaks
[00:23] <dementor> ilovefairuz, tomorow i will change the way i connect to the serv  and i wil come back for help:)

[00:25] <Dr_Willis> I am here.. you are 'there' :)

[00:25] <ilovefairuz> Mr_Sonoma: pm?
[00:25] <Mr_Sonoma> sure
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> Caer: good move
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> Caer: is the system a laptop or branded pc?
[00:25] <DasEi> Dr_Willis: they are everywhere.. ot, k
[00:26] <hiexpo> evening all
[00:26] <Caer> ActionParsnip: HP dv6 laptop ; has a "disable wifi" button and some quirks
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> Caer: greta, let me search
[00:27] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, Hi, Where did you go earlier?
[00:29] <octavio-rdz> Caer: I suppose you are in windows in that machine the one with the problem right?
[00:30] <Caer> octavio-rdz: I have windows installed but I connect to IRC from an other laptop (and though a headless server)
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Caer: do you dual boot?
[00:30] <Caer> ActionParsnip: yes
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: not sure
[00:30] <FabParma> how to modify the menu into the applet to the desktop panel that has an envelop as icon?
[00:31] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, could you spare a second?
[00:31] <Caer> ActionParsnip: windows 7, ubuntu Lucid ; I have three kernels installed, and tested the last two
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Caer: ok the windows boot may be tying up the device, head into device manager and disable power saving on the device as well as uncheck the box to allow the device to wake windows up. Windows is screwing te hardware up
[00:31] <octavio-rdz> Caer: ok got to "Devices manager" (or something like that)  and select the ethernet card then properties and see if there is something like Link Down power saving
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: sure
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> octavio-rdz: yeah, so annoying. dual boots can be such a PITA
[00:33] <octavio-rdz> ActionParsnip: yes I had that problem like a year ago .... it just stopped working after a windows update
[00:33] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: I am unable to see the printer on the network, telling me to check System > Admin > Firewall
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> octavio-rdz: never had the issue as I dont use windows :)
[00:34] <theholder> hey all
[00:34] <octavio-rdz> ActionParsnip: good point .... now I don't do dual booting but I used to .... now just Ubuntu
[00:34] <TheEskimo> !hi | theholder
[00:35] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, Cheers, I don't know if you remember but I installed Ubuntu LL to a 500gb SATA drive a few days ago.  I still have two little 40gb ATA's left around. I'm planning to put one of them in this machine as a place to put windowsXP, Could this create problems as I hear that GRUB is alot more intelligent than win bootloader and so best practice would dictate that I install Win first. Ant thoughts would be warmly recieved thanks.
[00:35] <FabParma> how to modify the menu into the applet to the desktop panel that has an envelop as icon? i'd like to set Thunderbird, as default and add some link useful to me, at the moment the only shwon is Pidgin link
[00:35] <thune3> FabParma: i couldn't make sense of your question. could you try again?
[00:35] <metalgeek> Ant = Any, sorry
[00:35] <Ace2> I was getting an "Error 17" message when I was starting up my PC. I reinstalled grub 2 and now when I start it just says GRUB with a curser flashing after it. Can someone help me please?
[00:35] <FabParma> thune3: its a bit more clear now?
[00:36] <econdudeawesome> what is the name of the program used to change the sound theme? I'd like to invoke it from the command line...
[00:36] <metalgeek> thune3, Hi, Thanks for all the help the other day, really helped ;)
[00:36] <TheEskimo> metalgeek: If you are installing windows and ubuntu on different harddrives the order doesn't matter.
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: sure you can install windows to them, you will need to add the entry in grub as grub can boot windows hapily
[00:36] <Caer> ActionParsnip octavio-rdz : unchecked, and it worked ; thank you very much for your patience and $&#@ windows !
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> Caer: yep :(
[00:37] <ilovefairuz> econdudeawesome: gnome-volume-control
[00:37] <octavio-rdz> Caer: that is a good new.
[00:37] <metalgeek> TheEskimo, ActionParsnip , Thanks guys, so just install the hardware, bootup with win cd, install as per normal & then tell GRUB about it?
[00:37] <econdudeawesome> lovefairuz is that the gnome equivalent of alsa-mixer, or does that allow a change in theme?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: sounds good to me. To be double safe you can disconnect the power from the Ubuntu drive and then you will have no threat of damaging the data
[00:38] <TheEskimo> metalgeek: Yup. You might have to change the harddrive boot order in your bios, but probably not. It should be just that simple.
[00:38] <demism> as far as configuration files, and system structure is ubuntu identical to debian? What are the differences?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> !ot | demism
[00:39] <Ace2> Can someone please help me with a grub problem
[00:39] <matthew_> i don't have pulseaudio, how can I switch to my usb soundcard in alsamixer?
[00:39] <ilovefairuz> !help | Ace2
[00:39] <octavio-rdz> metalgeek I don't see any problem in having windows in other HD ... what do you plan to install? cause I remember that I could not install windows XP in a slave HD
[00:39] <Ace2> I was getting an "Error 17" message when I was starting up my PC. I reinstalled grub 2 and now when I start it just says GRUB with a curser flashing after it. Can someone help me please?
[00:40] <thune3> FabParma: i'm really tired, and maybe it's just me; but no. I'm reading it as: 'How do I modify the panel applet that displays an envelope icon? I'd like it to open Thunderbird instead of Pidgin.'
[00:41] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: boot from livecd, open a terminal, type fdisk - l, and pastebin it
[00:41] <Tzetsin> m
[00:41] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, OK
[00:42] <corpsegrindr> Has anyone succefully gotten HDMI audio to work on a nvidia G210? I have run every tutorial I can find  and have still not been able to get it working
[00:43] <FabParma> thune3: close to the system clock do you see an icon that seems an envelop?
[00:43] <metalgeekSSL> ActionParsnip, IdleOne, Dr_Willis, Being a noob to all this you guys have been very patient, Thank you. I can always find one of you day and night, Ubuntu spirit?
[00:43] <FabParma> thune3: clickin on it you get Evolution and Pidgin
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: i've never seen anyone get hdmi working
[00:43] <FabParma> thune3: right?
[00:43] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/468648
[00:44] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: sad
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> metalgeekSSL: just time to kill
[00:44] <IdleOne> metalgeekSSL: our pleasure
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: i just use my soundcard, its what its made for
[00:44] <FabParma> thune3: so, i would like to modify that applet
[00:44] <metalgeekSSL> See ya in a bit then ;)
[00:44] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: yeah, unfortunetly thats not working either
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: do you use a creative audigy per chance?
[00:45] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: As a matter of fact i do, audigy platnium ex
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: guess how I knew...
[00:45] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: It also does not work
[00:45] <DasEi> xfi-rumours
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> corpsegrindr: they are a real pain to get going, not worth the heartache at all
[00:46] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: your ubuntu installation is on sda1 ?
[00:46] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Yes
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> no idea why people buy them at all
[00:46] <corpsegrindr> ActionParsnip: I have onboard hd nvidia sound, but I think it may be broken. even with windows 7 i get mostly white noise from it
[00:46] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: in the terminal type 'grub'.. then .. root (hd0,0)
[00:47] <thune3> FabParma: i  can only point you to http://moztraybiff.mozdev.org/ or http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/email-notification-add-mozilla-thunderbird-to-the-indicator-applet-in-ubuntus-system-tray/
[00:47] <DasEi> corpsegrindr: I haven't follow it, since being very nasty , but as I remember there was something going on with latest alsa in conjunction with pulseaudio, if you don't mind the hassle, can try it
[00:48] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, I got a syntax error near unexpected token '('
[00:48] <corpsegrindr> DasEi: Yeah i have done all the alsa updates and pulse tweaks with no effect. Others claim to have gotten it working though
[00:48] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: are you sure you typed corrected? root (hd0,0)
[00:48] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Yes

[00:49] <wizard_> anyone no were I can get the flying windows plugin for compiz?
[00:49] <DasEi> corpsegrindr: last I know from it was a degraded functionality, so more a x-wing then a x-fi, though nice under win
[00:49] <FabParma> thune3: thank tou for help me
[00:49] <ionut> hi. i have a nokia 5200 and i want to connect to the internet using that phone . what software should i use?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: flying window?
[00:50] <FabParma> thune3: i have a look right now
[00:50] <DasEi> corpsegrindr: did you search alsaproject for your specific model ?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: like the screensaver?
[00:50] <corpsegrindr> DasEi: I did not. ill run that right now
[00:50] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, yes thats the one
[00:51] <DasEi> corpsegrindr: http://www.alsa-project.org/
[00:51] <ilovefairuz> ionut: do you have a bluetooth chip ?
[00:51] <ionut> ilovefairuz: no i don't ( you mean in my laptop? )
[00:51] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/468650
[00:51] <ilovefairuz> ionut: yeah in laptop
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: let me see, have you asked in #compiz too?
[00:52] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, no I just asked in here
[00:52] <ionut> ilovefairuz: no , i don't. but i think if i have the right software i can connect it using usb
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/07/31/install-three-experimental-compiz-plugins/
[00:53] <DasEi> Ace2: looks like you try to run a grub 1 command from bash (and not the grub-shell) on grub2
[00:53] <ilovefairuz> ionut: well you can buy a very cheap bluetooth dongle (like $1) , and try pairing the phone with the laptop, network manager will detect if it can access the internet from it, most modern nokia phones work fine
[00:53] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, tried that I get this
[00:53] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: type grub and then press enter, you'll get to a prompt
[00:54] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, OK
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: get what?
[00:54] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: then, root (hd0,0)
[00:55] <ionut> ilovefairuz:  so , i think i missundertund (i wrote that correct :D ?) myself. i want to connect my phone using cable usb to use the network of a vodafone card of my phone. using bluetooth is the same. but what kind of software i shoult use
[00:55] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, install git-core
[00:55] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, It says "The program grub is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install grub
[00:55] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, which I am installing now
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> wizard_: the guide shows what to install, although one of the packages need changing, the system will tell you which
[00:56] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, cheers nearly there i think
[00:57] <ilovefairuz> ionut: no software, it works out of the box, after you buy the bluetooth dongle (attaches to a usb port),  right click on bluetooth icon and select "setup new device", the rest is an easy wizard, then you'll find the connection in the network manager icon added automatically
[00:57] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: grub2
[00:58] <ilovefairuz> ionut: if you laptop has bluetooth, you don't need to buy the bluetooth dongle
[00:58] <wizard_> ActionParsnip, get this wizard@wizard-laptop:~/compizplugins/screensaver$ make
[00:58] <wizard_> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[00:58] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/468652

[01:01] <bael> install samba

[01:02] <ilovefairuz> wizard_: type: ./configure && make
[01:02] <Bridger987> bael >  I installed Samba before I even started.  Still not working.
[01:02] <jcape> Question about the firefox 4 ppa: should it be displaying the tabs-on-top style?

[01:05] <Guest26548> hey there is there anying way to get my microsoft lifecam to work on ubuntu
[01:06] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, OK, installation finished. No error reported
[01:06] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: ok try rebooting
[01:06] <wizard_> ilovefairuz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/468658/
[01:07] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, OK
[01:07] <ilovefairuz> wizard_: well you need cmake, not make
[01:07] <ilovefairuz> sudo apt-get install cmake
[01:08] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  system - prefs - sound
[01:08] <wizard_> ilovefairuz, I have cmake installed
[01:08] <murielgodoi> Is fglrx needed to get 3d hardware support using Radeon 9600se + lucid?
[01:08] <ilovefairuz> wizard_: type: cmake
[01:08] <wizard_> ilovefairuz, done now install ?
[01:08] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund it's not there
[01:09] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  which isnt there? the sound tab?
[01:09] <ilovefairuz> wizard_: did you read README.txt ? probably has instructions
[01:09] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund the sound option in the preferences menu
[01:09] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, I restarted and it comes to up to what looks like a prompt that says GRUB with a flashing curser but you can't type anything
[01:09] <wizard_> ilovefairuz, will have a look now cheers
[01:09] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, what distro you running?
[01:10] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund I tried through the command line--gnome-volume-whatev. and it didn't work
[01:10] <econdudeawesome> Lubuntu 10.04 installed over Ubuntu 10,04
[01:11] <Niglop> are there any video editing software in linux that work the same as sony vegas?
[01:11] <matthew_> I've configured my power settings to never put the display to sleep, but it still goes to sleep...
[01:11] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: are you sure sda1 is where you installed ubuntu ?
[01:11] <eyes_only> recent updates broke my touchpad, ui hangs dmesg throwing resync fail errors
[01:11] <zaspan> Question: i`m trying to compile "k10temp" module to work with "sensors" but when I run "make install" it says it`s missing some file(FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/build/System.map': No such file or directory). I reckon that I am missing some kernel development files and I don`t know which ones. Can someone please tell me which packet to apt-get?
[01:11] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  i am not sure in lite ubuntu where youd find the sound app :( i looked at it once and didnt like it as a desktop
[01:11] <ilovefairuz> !bug | matthew_
[01:12] <Ace2> Yes
[01:12] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  did you try asking in #lubuntu ?
[01:12] <sindegra> zaspan: I think ./configure should report what you're missing.
[01:12] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Yes
[01:12] <matthew_> ilovefairuz, i know what to do with a bug, thank you. I was just wondering if this was user error in some way.
[01:12] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund yes--#lubuntu is dead, the only one who answers is phillw who is away. Google of course reveals nothing :-)
[01:12] <ilovefairuz> sindegra: no ./configure for kernel modules
[01:13] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, sorry :( but for that sub distro i am not sure. they took alot of things out they considered unnecessary
[01:13] <zaspan> sindegra, yes there is no configure file. just Makefile and k10temp.c
[01:13] <sindegra> econdudawesome: I run lubuntu, what's the problem?
[01:14] <Wiesshund> sindegra,  He cant find the sound control app to turn off desktop theme sounds etc
[01:14] <econdudeawesome> sindegra I cannot change the sound theme--using the gnome controls from my underlying original Ubuntu install (10.04) changes nothing, and I get the annoying "pop" sound any time I open a chromium tab. I just want to disable the sound theme (not just turn down my volume)
[01:15] <arniokas> is there any tool, except from lm-sensors, that doesn't work with my netbook, for temperature-monitoring?
[01:16] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: did you run make before make install? is module built?
[01:17] <zaspan> ilovefairuz, yes i did
[01:17] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: does insmod on the module work?
[01:17] <redvil> need suggestions for a good DVD ripper to install in ubuntu..one that is easy to configure and use? anyone?
[01:17] <BigC_> say I was to buy a notebook that has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 gpu in it. Do I download the driver from the AMD website, or do I get it via synaptic? Also is there a open source driver for this GPU?
[01:17] <nb72> I'm looking to run an old machine headless as a server (mostly file server in the house).
[01:18] <ilovefairuz> !hardware | BigC_
[01:18] <nb72> Is there a guide for setting up a machine to control it over ssh?
[01:18] <ilovefairuz> nb72: install ubuntu server edition, and ssh gets installed automatically
[01:19] <Mr_Sonoma> nb72, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring
[01:19] <nb72> ok.  I'm installing ubuntu server 10.04.
[01:19] <FabParma> thune3: has worked, not exactly as i wanted but its fine for me i make a screen for you
[01:19] <nb72> Thanks guys
[01:20] <econdudeawesome> sindegra--any idea?
[01:20] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: pretty much stumped admittedly. I didn't even know lxde had sound themes.
[01:21] <Wiesshund> redvil, eh i just use nero for that
[01:21] <Wiesshund> sindegra, it doesnt, its a left over from his 10.4 full install
[01:21] <BidaBoy> when i try to use fbi (image and pdf viewer in cosole) i get this message : 'open /dev/fb0 no such file or directory' can any one help me?
[01:21] <redvil> wiesshund: do they have nero for ubuntu?
[01:21] <Wiesshund> redvil, not really but wine...
[01:21] <zaspan> ilovefairuz, if I am using insmod right then it works. I used it like this: insmode k10temp.ko
[01:21] <econdudeawesome> sindegra I think its a holdover from the initial Ubuntu install (i installed the lubuntu-desktop package afterwards). Problem is gnome-volume-control says I have no sounds installed
[01:22] <redvil> wiesshund: thnx
[01:22] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: aha.
[01:22] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: then mv  the module  to /lib/`uname -r`/modules  and add it to /etc/modules
[01:22] <econdudeawesome> sindegra where would you start looking?
[01:23] <Oer> redvil, nero is a paid app, maybe this is any help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVD%3A%3ARip
[01:23] <Chaorain> I'm having  some problems. I have a Dell Xps M1730 and I can't get the wifi to work. "rfkill List" says that the device is hardware disabled. Is there anything I can do about this?
[01:23] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, i found some web posts where people did the same thing but none of the posts had a resolution, that didnt entail putting the full version back
[01:23] <redvil> oer: will look that one up too..thnx
[01:23] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: I'd try and figure out how gnome implements sounds themes, try to find the appropriate file and delete the entries
[01:23] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund yeah, I saw some of those posts
[01:23] <BidaBoy> when i try to use fbi (image and pdf viewer in cosole) i get this message : 'open /dev/fb0 no such file or directory' can any one help me?
[01:24] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, silly idea but can you uninstal the themes?
[01:24] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: lshw -C network
[01:24] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: pastebin output
[01:24] <econdudeawesome> Wiesshund I'd like to, not sure how
[01:24] <econdudeawesome> cause I think that would compeltely take care of the problem, and I never use them anyway
[01:24] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome,  see if you can find them in the package manager?
[01:25] <BidaBoy> i repeat, when i try to use fbi (image and pdf viewer in cosole) i get this message : 'open /dev/fb0 no such file or directory' can any one help me?
[01:25] <redvil> oer: does lucid support it? it only says the latest release is for 8.04..
[01:25] <ilovefairuz> !patience | BidaBoy
[01:25] <BidaBoy> ok, i waiting
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> BidaBoy: you need to use framebuffer for console
[01:26] <BidaBoy> ActionParsnip, how
[01:26] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: ok It will be a bit because I have to reboot to that os
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> BidaBoy: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/     use the guide until the youtube video
[01:28] <BidaBoy> ActionParsnip, ok thanks
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> BidaBoy: its also how to get a decent res for plymouth under proprietary drivers
[01:29] <BidaBoy> ActionParsnip: ok

[01:31] <ActionParsnip> jerald: the ppa does have a lucid folder, even has maverick too
[01:31] <ilovefairuz> FNi: rdesktop
[01:32] <econdudeawesome> Wiendhuss, sigendra--all sounds are stored in /usr/share/sounds--I can take it from there :-D
[01:32] <jerald> I'm new to this system.. sorry I don't get you guys.. here is  the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/468663/
[01:32] <Wiesshund> econdudeawesome, cool
[01:33] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: are sound themes maybe being implemented by pulseaudio>
[01:33] <jerald> ActionParsnip, how can I fix this
[01:33] <sindegra> econdudawesome: alright then.
[01:33] <econdudeawesome> sindegra possibly
[01:33] <melkor> Has anybody here had luck using fglrx drivers + 2.6.34 kernel?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> jerald: I just added the PPA and it updated ok. how did you add the ppa?
[01:34] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: you would have that because you converted from ubuntu to lubuntu
[01:34] <econdudeawesome> sindegra yes
[01:34] <jerald> I think when I update to create a dock.. not so familiar with it.. what's ppa?
[01:34] <eyes_only> psmouse.c resync failed, latest update, anyone have a quick hack for synaptics touchpad?
[01:35] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I don't know what is ppa
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> jerald: its the thing you added to install the theme from
[01:35] <zaspan> ilovefairuz, thx that worked but if I am guessing correctly i will have to do this procedure every time a new kernel arrives
[01:36] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I just drag the folder to the theme box then automatically install the theme..
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> jerald: you added an extra software source to then install the theme from didnt you?
[01:36] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: yeah recompile
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> jerald: click System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[01:36] <FNi> ilovefairuz: that worked perfectly. thanks!
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> jerald: then remove the repo you added
[01:37] <ilovefairuz> FNi: you're welcome
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> jerald: it's the elementary art one which you want to remove
[01:37] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, Hi,
[01:37] <jerald> ActionParsnip, everything is in lucid
[01:37] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Ok, I went through the process again to reinstall grub. Now I'm getting on restart: Minimal BASH- like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> jerald: what do you mean?
[01:37] <ilovefairuz> zaspan: google dkms
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: howdy
[01:38] <lumberjack[> hey, abit offtopic here, but are there any mirc packages with extra tools included? recommend some plz ;)
[01:38] <`Assassin> How do I do a really minimal ubuntu install?
[01:38] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, Then it has grub> with a flashing prompt after it
[01:38] <jerald> ActionParsnip, the elementary theme is supported with ubuntu lucid main
[01:38] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, Install was smooth as silk, now for the bit I have no idea about, GRUB?
[01:39] <ilovefairuz> Ace2: normally, if ubuntu is on sda1, it would have booted right into it
[01:39] <rww> lumberjack[: try ##mirc
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> jerald: yes, I know. I'm getting you to remove it so we can readd it
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: will you please quit just latching onto me just because I'm here
[01:39] <jerald> ActionParsnip, so which one I should remove?
[01:39] <Ace2> I unhooked the other drives. There is only one drive left so I know it's right
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: ask the channel like everybody else, if I have a solution I will reply
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> jerald: the elementary theme one

[01:40] <Niglop> are there any video editing software in linux that work the same as sony vegas?
[01:40] <Ace2> ilovefairuz, My home folder is encrypted. Is there a way for me to access it to save my files? I'll just reinstall the whole system
[01:41] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: you might have already solved your problem but sound-theme-freedesktop seems to do sound themes
[01:41] <ridin> ok, when downloading large files my wireless adapter downloads it for a bit and then 'gives up'
[01:41] <metalgeek> ActionParsnip, **latching** You said always happy to help, if your here ask you, so i have, don't worry, won't bother again. Didn't realise it was upsetting you
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> Niglop: http://techcityinc.com/2009/02/04/top-10-free-video-editors-for-ubuntu-linux/    no idea about sony vegas, if its a firewire interface it should be fine
[01:41] <sindegra> econdudeawesome: uninstalling that might solve it in a more elegant matter
[01:42] <jerald> ActionParsnip, now i know how to see thanks.. so what now I will just unchecked the box.. or remove?
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> metalgeek: its just a bit imposing
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> jerald: get it removed, i'll give you the command I ran to add it in again
[01:43] <metalgeek> I have installed windows to a different drive in my ubuntu box, i have no idea how to configure GRUB as am complete noob so any help would be appreciated, Cheers everyone

[01:48] <ilovefairuz> ridin: is it a usb one? lsusb

[01:48] <Dr_Willis> metalgeek:  in theory. You rerun 'sudo update-grub' and it 'should' see and add a proper grub menu item for windows - reguardless of what hard drive windows is instgalled on.
[01:48] <ionut> which is the best way to install system sounds for my ubuntu 10.04?
[01:48] <CkhiKuzad> I have the window-picker applet for my gnome panel, which allows the windows to have little tab close things on them, and on a screenshot, i saw that it could get rid of the top bar of a window when it was maximized, how do i set this to be able to work?
[01:49] <metalgeek> Dr_Willis, Thanks
[01:49] <ridin> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/n3aWmMZz
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> CkhiKuzad:  theres some panel applets that let you do that. I forget the names however.
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> CkhiKuzad:  they are not in the normal reposiutories.
[01:49] <melkor> using the system/hardwar to install fglrx fails to install

[01:53] <scrote> hi
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> ionut:  ive never seen any alternative sound themes.. its like that part of the OS/gui/confuigs.. sort of got ignored.. you got the default and 'none'  last i looked.
[01:53] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: the wifi light does flash, The bluetooth is also controlled by this swith and it stays on, if that makes a difference
[01:53] <scrote> is $-L the variable for libraries?
[01:54] <ionut> Dr_Willis: but you can install others?
[01:54] <jerald> ActionParsnip, http://www.pastie.org/1058829
[01:54] <ionut> Dr_Willis: isn't that?
[01:54] <coz_> ionte, in all honesy I personally shut of all sounds :0
[01:54] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: so the indicator is on but no difference?
[01:54] <Guest24256> how can i remove limewire from edubuntu
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> ionut:  ive never seen a way. never really noticed..  i use 'no sounds'
[01:54] <aeroba> all my files in the root directory are showing up as text files
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> Guest24256:  if it was installed via the package manager.. use the packaghe manager to remove it
[01:54] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: Bluetooth: yes Wifi: no
[01:55] <coz_> ionut,     http://ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/%22Borealis%22+sound+theme?content=12584
[01:55] <ionut> Dr_Willis: i have installed some sound themes. but i want a good one (like a person that says "hello boss" :)) or sth like that )
[01:55] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: one light for both of them?
[01:55] <jrib> aeroba: how are you making that determination?  Where exactly?
[01:55] <coz_> ionte,   I am sure there are sound themes out there.... why I dont know :)
[01:55] <Darklord6229> what is the command for the terminal to find out what my wireless card is and the info about it
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> ionut:  ive never seen any. or tried any..  not seen a tool to change the sound themes wither..
[01:55] <jerald> coz_,  help me with this http://www.pastie.org/1058829
[01:55] <ilovefairuz> ridin: lsmod
[01:56] <ionut> coz_: for ubuntu is ogg?
[01:56] <Guest24256> cant find it
[01:56] <ilovefairuz> Darklord6229: lshw - C network
[01:56] <aeroba> jrib: well, when I open up rox-filer, all  my files show up as text icons, and when I click to open them, they open as empty text files
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> jerald: great, ok run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and change:  deb repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4 binary/    to:   deb http://repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4 binary/
[01:56] <coz_> ionut,   I believe they are .ogg files
[01:56] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: no, two seperate lights but one switch for both
[01:56] <jrib> aeroba: and if you use nautilus?
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> jerald: save the new file then run: sudo apt-get update       why you'd want to use that PPA is anyones guess
[01:56] <coz_> jerald,   that is your sources list ...yes?  what help do you need with it?
[01:56] <ionut> coz_: the fastest way to install it is to copy it in the sounds directory?
[01:57] <ridin> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Ta8VK3tU
[01:57] <bock> Why do all my jpeg files coming from the built in card reader show up distorted? I can view them fine with imageviewer but when uploading to facebook still distorted.
[01:57] <aeroba> jrib: I use both natilus and rox
[01:57] <coz_> ionut,  that is where i used to place my own sounds i would create .. I assume it is in the same place   just be sure you rename the files if t hey are not renamed already to match which sounds go with which events
[01:58] <jrib> aeroba: if you use nautilus is the strange behavior also present?  Can you give an example of a specific file?
[01:58] <ionut> coz_: ya. got that. thanks man
[01:58] <coz_> jerald,   you still there??
[01:58] <jerald> yeah done
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> jerald: is it any better now?
[01:58] <coz_> ionut,  if the sound theme creators are "good"  then the sounds should already be named properly for the respecitve events
[01:59] <jerald> Coz_, yeah I'm here
[01:59] <coz_> jerald,  ok I see this is your sources list   yes??  waht is the issue?
[01:59] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I'll try to update
[01:59] <bock> why are jpeg files distorted do they need to be imported
[01:59] <aeroba> jrib: Yes, jrib, the strange behavior is still present. For example, I right click on a tar.gz file that I just downloaded, check its properties, and see that under properties the tar.gz file is text
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> jerald: cool, once you get that square, I'll give the command to install the theme
[01:59] <ionut> coz_: ya, maybe they think if everything is done like from default , nowone will open and watch all the files...
[02:00] <coz_> bock,  depends on the resolution of jpeg images  some can be very pixelated if the resolution is low
[02:00] <jrib> aeroba: what does the « file » program in a terminal say about it?
[02:00] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: tail -f /var/log/messages while you flip the switch
[02:00] <bock> they came off my 10.3 nikon
[02:00] <aeroba> jrib: what do you mean by <<file>> program?
[02:00] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: ok, I have to reboot again
[02:00] <jrib> aeroba: open a terminal, type "file PATH_TO_YOUR_TAR.GZ"
[02:00] <coz_> bock,  mm  and I assume they have a high res  ...the camera is above 5 megapixels ?
[02:00] <bock> coz: yeah for sure
[02:01] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I got another issue.. I can't go to update.. it says could not  initialize the package information
[02:01] <jerald> ActionParsnip, the one we changed..
[02:01] <bock> coz: 10.3m
[02:01] <coz_> bock,  this may not work but could you take a screenshot of the distorted image and upload to picpaste.com
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> jerald: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update     thanks
[02:02] <jerald> E: Type 'http://repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4' is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:02] <jerald> jerald@jerald-Mobile:~$
[02:03] <bastidrazor> jerald: you should join #backtrack-linux
[02:03] <aeroba> jrib: funny, it says "cannot open '/root/downloads/zim-0.48.tar.gz (no such file or directory)
[02:03] <coz_> jerald,  then place a  #  in front of that   #deb repo.offensive-security.com/dist/bt4 binary/
[02:03] <coz_>    and try to update again
[02:03] <jerald> basicer, yeah I love backtrack.. I still have to fix my ubuntu
[02:03] <ilovefairuz> ridin: looks like a driver bug
[02:03] <ilovefairuz> !bug | ridin
[02:03] <jrib> aeroba: then there's no such file.  Why do you have stuff like that in /root anyway?
[02:03] <Gackt> can anyone link me to an update "install from usb" guide? please
[02:04] <coz_> bock,  did you upload that screenshot?
[02:04] <john> hello, Ubuntu server 10.04, mpd up and running, but no audio output.
[02:04] <jrib> aeroba: Anyway, zim is in the repositories, why aren't you using APT?
[02:04] <bastidrazor> jerald: then remove the line that you just pasted from your /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:04] <bock> coz: sorry working on it one sec
[02:05] <coz_> bock,  oh ok :)
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> jerald: sounds like that repo is a bit whack
[02:05] <aeroba> jrib: but its there. I had to save it somewhere, I usually untar my tarballs and then configure and such. I tried right-clicking in rox and clicked terminal here, wrote the file name, -it recognizes it
[02:05] <coz_> bock,  pick a photo you dont mind sharing publicly
[02:05] <bastidrazor> jerald: mixing repositories is the perfect way to break things.
[02:05] <jrib> aeroba: did you see the last thing I said?
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> jerald: I just tried to browse to the repo in my browser and it failed
[02:06] <Craig`> how do I change my resolution? i went system->pref->display, my monitor is unknown (i'm on laptop) and the only available resolutions are 800x600 and 640x480, i want 1024 :(
[02:06] <ridin> ilovefairuz, what should i put?\
[02:06] <ActionParsnip> Craig`: what video card?

[02:06] <coz_> Craig`,  lspci | grep -i vga
[02:07] <midas__> hello. how do i enable rhythmbox to encode mp3? what do i have to install?
[02:07] <ilovefairuz> !install | Gackt
[02:07] <Craig`> :00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[02:07] <ductTapeDJ> This one should be easy: I just installed ubuntu 10.4 on a computer already running Windows 7 and I want to know the easiest way to share files between the two OS's.
[02:07] <Craig`> 01:00.0*
[02:07] <bastidrazor> midas__: probably ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> ductTapeDJ: linux can write and read to NTFS
[02:07] <ductTapeDJ> what's that?
[02:07] <coz_> midas__,    ffmpeg would be the first thing to install
[02:07] <ilovefairuz> ridin: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect
[02:08] <aeroba> jrib: now I did. Yes, I did download the .deb file, but it didn't run...so I thought I'd compile to see what the problem was
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> ductTapeDJ: what's what?
[02:08] <ductTapeDJ> what's ntfs?
[02:08] <jrib> aeroba: I didn't say to download a deb file
[02:08] <trojan_spike> great question would be how to access ubuntu files from windows 7.. i still havnt got that yrt :(
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> ductTapeDJ:  the windows 'drive' shold show up in the  places/computer/media area.
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs | ductTapeDJ
[02:08] <jrib> aeroba: do you know about APT?
[02:08] <trojan_spike> yet
[02:08] <ductTapeDJ> ooh! I didn't think to check there
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> ductTapeDJ: its the crap file system windows uses
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> ductTapeDJ:  ntfs is the filesystem that windows uses.
[02:08] <ductTapeDJ> okay I'll restart and try again.
[02:08] <coz_> Craig`,  ooo sis
[02:08] <bastidrazor> ubottu: tell trojan_spike about samba
[02:08] <aeroba> jrib: you said to go get it from the repository, correct?
[02:08] <jerald> ActionParsnip, it's working.. finally
[02:08] <lumberjack[> windows whats that?
[02:08] <jrib> aeroba: I said to use APT
[02:08] <ductTapeDJ> yeah I installed ubuntu as a backup in case windows craps out
[02:08] <coz_> Craig`,  mmm  you need th sis drive for that card
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> jerald: cool, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/elementary-theme-gets-ppa.html
[02:08] <bock> coz: that might have worked the thumbnails where distorted when uploading but the preview was correct and the pic uploaded correct thanks man
[02:09] <ductTapeDJ> I understand ubuntu is better overall but my games run on windows :(
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> jerald: if you mess up your sources file you will get issues
[02:09] <ductTapeDJ> anyway, thanks for the help!
[02:09] <Craig`> coz_, where can one obtain that?
[02:09] <Craig`> i googled, heh
[02:09] <coz_> Craig`,  hold on I think I have one archived if not let me google it hold on
[02:09] <jerald> bastidrazor, your next.. how can I run backtrack on ubuntu?
[02:09] <bock> coz: one more quick one how do i make the open gl version of the cairo dock open on startup
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> jerald: backtrack isnt supported here
[02:10] <jerald> ActionParsnip, thanks fro the tip..
[02:10] <bastidrazor> jerald: in a virtual machine?
[02:10] <jrib> aeroba: do you understand what to do?
[02:10] <coz_> bock,   you can go  into system/preferences/ startup applicatons    and put in  cairo-dock -o   as the command
[02:10] <jerald> ActionParsnip, sorry..
[02:10] <aeroba> jrib: you mean apt-get? yes
[02:10] <jrib> aeroba: if you prefer to use apt-get, sure.  Use that
[02:10] <jerald> bastidrazor, do you have email?
[02:10] <bastidrazor> jerald: not that i am going to give you. sorry.
[02:10] <bock> coz: you awesome thanks bro are those your thems
[02:10] <aeroba> but I really want to see my files....all I see are text
[02:11] <UberN00b> hey guys, does anyone know how can i uninstall office 2007 along with wine ?
[02:11] <jerald> bastidrazor, heheheh evil.. pure evil..
[02:11] <jrib> aeroba: Okay, but to install zim, use APT.  In any case, it seems the file doesn't exist.  Pastebin « ls /root/downloads »
[02:11] <Dr_Willis> UberN00b:  Uninstall? You can just use its uninstaller icon (that should be in the wine menus) or delete the whole .wine dir if you wanted to go extreme
[02:12] <bastidrazor> jerald: do you know what backtrack is?
[02:12] <jerald> ActionParsnip, don't worry If I mess up.. you guys can help.. every time you help me.. I am learning. every little issue every little answer is knowlege..
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> UberN00b: run: uninstaller   you can remove office there, then you can run: sudo apt-get --purge remove wine    then to remove it ALL, run: rm -r ~/.wine
[02:13] <UberN00b> Dr_Willis would that uninstall the office as well ?
[02:13] <aeroba> jrib: so there's nothing I can do? because it's not just the tar file I can't see. It's also everything in /root/desktop
[02:13] <jrib> aeroba: you can do what I asked I guess...
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> jerald: indeed, every day is a school day
[02:13] <jerald> bastidrazor, I know what it can do.. but don't know how to operate.. that is why I use ubuntu first to familiarize linux..
[02:13] <onur> Hi. I am trying to use Ubuntu in a chroot environment in Debian. Debian using /tmp/.X11-unix socket for Xorg but Ubuntu using a different one. How can I set Ubuntu to use /tmp/.X11-unix file to use X socket?
[02:13] <coz_> Craig`,  let me check my storage drives hold on
[02:13] <Craig`> thanks
[02:13] <jerald> ActionParsnip, I love messing my machine.. :D every thing you just said today.. I jot down notes.. lols.. now I know.. :D
[02:14] <bastidrazor> jerald: it is an OS similiar to Ubuntu.. meaning you have to install it just like you did ubuntu. you can not run backtrack on Ubuntu.
[02:14] <ilovefairuz> onur: ln -s?
[02:14] <Dr_Willis> UberN00b:  would what? in most cases stuff you run/install via wine.. installs to the .wine directory. thats how wine works by default.
[02:14] <aeroba> jrib: you mean type file in terminal?
[02:14] <UberN00b> ActionParship how ? I tried with Alt+F2 the output was no such file or directory
[02:14] <onur> ilovefairuz: but which location?
[02:14] <jrib> aeroba: No, you already told me you ran file.  Pastebin « ls /root/downloads ».
[02:14] <UberN00b> Dr_Willis, oh thanks then i'll just  uninstall wine
[02:14] <ActionParsnip> UberN00b: run it in terminal
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> UberN00b:  thats not what i said..
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> UberN00b: uninstalling wine will leave the app still installed in ~/.wine which you will need to delete
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> UberN00b:  if you uninstall the 'wine' program friom the pacakge manager. it will NOT clean out your .wine dir
[02:15] <bock> why wont my fan controllers work either like thinkfan
[02:15] <midas__>  what codecs do I need to install to be able to encode mp3 on rhytmbox
[02:15] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: back, http://pastebin.com/gYXnVS7g
[02:15] <jerald> bastidrazor, I know.. it's backtract 4 which is the latest.. but there was this blog I read about.. it was ubutu 8.04 I think.. that they installed backtract3.. I don't know.. I forgot..
[02:16] <Bogus8> Ok, running Server 10.4 and I had this problem before but I had done dist-upgrade and it was thought that was the problem... So I reinstalled.  Now I'm getting the same error... when I shut down and reboot I get "unexpected inconsistency; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
[02:16] <Bogus8> What gives?
[02:16] <coz_> Craig`,  I have not used these in some time so I cannot guarantee they work   http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linux-sis/index.php?page=Downloads
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> midas__: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and you should be ok
[02:16] <ilovefairuz> onur:  /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
[02:16] <Bogus8> I was running just fine and shut down clean
[02:16] <coz_> Craig`,  but let me keep searching as well
[02:16] <aeroba> jrib: then what?
[02:16] <jrib> aeroba: give me the url
[02:16] <coz_> Craig`,    http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/xserver-xorg-video-sis
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: boot to liveCD and fsck the partition
[02:16] <midas__> ActionParsnip, thx, installing...
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack | jerald
[02:17] <coz_> Craig`,  that second link would be more reliable
[02:17] <UberN00b> Dr_Willis oh i just found the "uninstall wine software"  button :D  that might do the work, thanks :)
[02:17] <aeroba> jrib: it's not doing anything, it just prints >
[02:17] <UberN00b> ActionParsnip oh i just found the "uninstall wine software"  button :D  that might do the work, thanks :)
[02:17] <coz_> Craig`,    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Sis
[02:17] <jrib> aeroba: what did you type?
[02:17] <Craig`> thanks
[02:17] <bock> what a good fan controller?
[02:17] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: I have done that last time I had the problem and it seemed to fix it but then upon reboot it came up again... I am now at my buddy's installing the system and just d/l a live cd to try to repair it again... will attempt that but I don't have much fait in it
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> bock: in what sense
[02:17] <onur> ilovefairuz: It's debian's socket file. Ubuntu looking somewhere else for this file. I am searching this location. (sorry for bad english)
[02:17] <aeroba> pastebin <<ls root/downloads>>
[02:17] <bastidrazor> jerald: as ActionParsnip indicates backtrack is not supported here. we will not be able to help you with it.that includes installing. #backtrack-linux would be the proper channel.
[02:18] <jrib> aeroba: the «» are for your benefit.  You don't type them
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: be sure to md5 test the iso ;)
[02:18] <jrib> aeroba: press ctrl-c and try again
[02:18] <coz_> Craig`,   try to get the .deb package for the sys driver....one warning  you wont be able to run something like compiz with that though
[02:18] <jerald> ubottu, I don't have time for other os.. I need to know UBUNTU as of now.. nothing more..
[02:18] <onur> ilovefairuz: Can you or someone paste netstat -x output if you are using ubuntu lucid?
[02:18] <Craig`> I don't think I use compiz
[02:18] <jrib> aeroba: and that's also not what I told you to type
[02:18] <bock> ActionParsnip: like I want to oveclock the cpu fans cause its 112 where im at
[02:19] <aeroba> jrib: it's not?
[02:19] <Craig`> coz_, sorry to be a noob but which .deb should I get? (i thought there would be a simple command for this :P)
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> bock:  is that 112F or C ? :)
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> bock: then i'd ask in ##hardware
[02:19] <jrib> aeroba: no scroll up.
[02:19] <jerald> bastidrazor,  thanks..  @ all.. guys.. thanks for the help.. I need to get up and have my breakfast already..
[02:19] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: ugh... it's at my house.... could that really be the problem?  Why wouldn't I have seen this issue before?
[02:19] <aeroba> OH
[02:19] <coz_> Craig`,  well not sure    you have to find out if your system is 32 bit or 64 bit before deciding which package to use  and that ubuntu link should be read fully first
[02:19] <jerald> @ all: I'll be back for another issue.. hehehhe
[02:19] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: if the system says then i'd do it
[02:20] <bock> 112F outside cpu is just getting really hot wondering if there was an easy program to control the fans
[02:20] <Craig`> coz_ 64bit
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> jerald: not for backtrack here
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> bock: the kernel will handle it
[02:20] <coz_> Craig`,  ok open synaptic package manager
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> bock:  I always go the lazy route . and take off the side of the case and get a big desk fan.
[02:20] <coz_> Craig`,  then hit the search button and type in  xserver xorg video sis
[02:20] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: if the system says what?  I'll fsck it for sure... but you think the syftem ? telling me to check the install CD for defects?
[02:20] <coz_> Craig`,  it may or may not be there let me check here
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: if the system is saying the partition needs fscking then i'd do it
[02:21] <Craig`> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/xserver-xorg-video-sis ?
[02:21] <Craig`> then i'm guessing i'm wanting the amd64 one?
[02:21] <onur> ilovefairuz: Looks like my problem is completely different. Sorry for waste your time.
[02:21] <bock> Dr_Willis: Yeah that works for sure
[02:21] <coz_> Craig`,  it looks like it is already in the repositories
[02:21] <lemonade_> morning
[02:22] <coz_> Craig`,  open up synaptic package manager   hit the Search button and type in  xserver xorg vieo sis
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> Bogus8: if you boot the CD and press space when the stickman shows you can check the cd for defects, also check the iso for issues using md5sum before burning so you know the iso is consistant and complete
[02:22] <bock> ActionParsnip: Really thats cool I install thinkfan and thought it would allow me too
[02:22] <hiexpo> coz_,  even if system is 64 you will be happier with 32 :)
[02:22] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: right... I will... I jus know I had this EXACT error on this system before and it wouldn't help.
[02:22] <coz_> Craig`,  and yes you want the amd64  one
[02:22] <coz_> hiexpo,  oh its not for me  guy  :)
[02:23] <jrib> aeroba: any progress?
[02:23] <hiexpo> coz_,  oh ok sorry
[02:23] <Bogus8> ActionParsnip: right... but install ent very smooth... I've been using the  fotemy buddy's needs... just when I rebooted it flipped out.
[02:23] <coz_> Craig`,  as long as you installed the 64 bit ubuntu version then use that 64 bit package and when it installs you MUST reboot the system
[02:23] <aeroba> jrib: nope.
[02:23] <pfifo> has anyone figured out a way to stream shows over ustream.tv using ubuntu yet?
[02:23] <Bogus8> 's needs... just when I rebooted it flipped out.
[02:23] <jrib> aeroba: so you weren't able to run the command I told you to run and pastebin it?  What are you having trouble with?
[02:23] <Craig`> coz_, the package is already installed
[02:24] <Craig`> apparantly
[02:24] <coz_> Craig`,  mmmm
[02:24] <aeroba> jrib: running the pastebin command itself
[02:24] <Bogus8> wow... I got some serious lag to my system and it's causing some typo's... sorry
[02:24] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[02:24] <jrib> !pastebin | aeroba
[02:24] <coz_> Craig`,  let me check on the ubuntu how to
[02:24] <ShapeShifter499> I've lost all sound on my ubuntu 10.04 64 bit system how do I fix this
[02:25] <DareDevil01> Hi i need to know how to set a module to load every time a reboot
[02:25] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, hi, run alsamixer form the command line and check that everything is unmuted
[02:26] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo: it says "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory"
[02:26] <adamkex> DareDevil01: add your module to this file /etc/modules
[02:26] <coz_> Craig`,  here is another hit  on google    http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-sis-771671-mirage-3-video-drivers-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid.html  I have no idea if this is valid or not
[02:26] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, was sound woring after you installed?
[02:26] <DareDevil01> adamkex thank you
[02:26] <jrib> aeroba: are you actually doing this or should I go do something else?
[02:26] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo: did it somehow get deleted?
[02:27] <adamkex> DareDevil01: you're welcome
[02:27] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo: sound on my system was working up till today
[02:27] <UberN00b> ActionParsnip ermm, how do i run the uninstaller in terminal again ? XD
[02:27] <PDG1> so I believe it was actionParsnip that helped me last time... but either way. I was having some video issues and it was suggested i look for more information on the video card i had. I found some information but i cant understand it.
[02:27] <Craig`> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:27] <Craig`> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[02:27] <jrib> PDG1: no one can help you after reading that.
[02:27] <hentai7> how can I get my resolution higher? its only at 640*480 and the monitor can do more, installed nvidia driver for gfx card, before with no driver it was 800*600 now its worse, any manual way
[02:28] <coz_> Craig`,  is that a terminal read out?
[02:28] <Craig`> yeah
[02:28] <PDG1> jrib, you're right...
[02:28] <coz_> Craig_Dem,  close synaptic package manager
[02:28] <Craig`> two minutes though, i didn't download a file
[02:28] <Craig`> righto, thanks
[02:28] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, if I was in your position I would just reinstall, in my experience trouble shooting sound problems is a big hassle.
[02:28] <aeroba> jrib: thanks for trying to help. feel free to move onto something else. it looks like my bash doesn't have pastebin. sorry for wasting your time.
[02:28] <jrib> PDG1: you're goal should be to write something that someone can read and then help you (use pastebin if you need to include logs or errors and the like)
[02:28] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo: reinstall? the WHOLE system?
[02:28] <ductTapeDJ> hey again
[02:28] <ductTapeDJ> so... yes and no.
[02:29] <machete> hey, I want to mount swap partition
[02:29] <jrib> aeroba: it's not a command, you just open a web browser, copy and paste what is in your terminal, hit submit, give the url
[02:29] <PDG1> jrib, it was a mistake :P I understand what i did wrong
[02:29] <machete> what's the filesystem type contraction?
[02:29] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, its probbally quicker than trying to track down the issue and then attempting to fix it.
[02:29] <ductTapeDJ> Thanks for the advice, I can move files from windows into ubuntu now... but ubuntu doesn't see my internet connection. How do I set up wireless?
[02:29] <ductTapeDJ> I know the SSID and WEP password, but there's all this weird "VPN" stuff that windows cleverly hides from me
[02:29] <ductTapeDJ> and now I'm lost.
[02:30] <machete> what's the command to mount a swap filesystem?
[02:30] <Muelli> machete: mount.
[02:30] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: try ..  sudo echo 0 > /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rf_kill ... sudo ifconfig wlan0 up ... iwlist wlan0 scan... this should show you available networks.. if not, it could be a hardware issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/230844
[02:30] <machete> mount /dev/sdxx /mnt -t ....?
[02:30] <Muelli> machete: bullshit
[02:30] <Muelli> machete: swapon, sorry.
[02:30] <bastidrazor> ilovefairuz: that will not work > will eat your sudo
[02:30] <adamkex> pwned
[02:31] <ilovefairuz> bastidrazor: you're correct
[02:31] <ductTapeDJ> Chaorain, should I try that too?
[02:31] <aeroba> jrib: so I go to the pastebin.ca website, and paste ls /root/downloads?
[02:31] <ironfoot495> Hello I havew a problem getting ubuntu 9.10 to send error messages to my email address. I do HAVE THUNDERBIRD WORKING BUT WHEN i TRY TO USE A PHP ERROR PROGRAM IT WONT SEND IT TO MY EMAIL? Can someone help me troubleshoot this?
[02:31] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: Alright, I'll give it a try
[02:31] <ilovefairuz> Chaorain: sudo su -, and type the commands without sudo
[02:31] <machete> Muelli, unknown filesystem type swapon
[02:31] <Bogus8> Ok... I just ran the fsck.ext4 check on the drives and it fixed them... then I reboot and it comes RIGHT back to the SAME errors!
[02:31] <hiexpo> with wep key should connect
[02:31] <ductTapeDJ> wait, how do I list available networks?
[02:31] <Muelli> machete: sorry. the command is swapon. not mount.
[02:31] <Bogus8> HELP PLEASE :(  I'm about to cry here... second time I've built this system
[02:32] <Chaorain> aeroba: I think you messanged the wrong guy
[02:32] <machete> oh I see
[02:32] <bastidrazor> ilovefairuz: bad idea... try echo 0 | sudo tee -a /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rf_kill ..instead
[02:32] <ductTapeDJ> never mind I'll try back later.
[02:32] <ilovefairuz> bastidrazor: why a bad idea?
[02:32] <machete> thanks
[02:32] <bastidrazor> ilovefairuz: sudo su is a bad idea.. if you want a root bash session use sudo -i
[02:33] <PDG1> anyway.... I don't understand if i should follow these instructions or not because i'm not using jaunty http://paste.ubuntu.com/468676/
[02:33] <ilovefairuz> bastidrazor: hm you still didn't say the "why" but i'll google it
[02:33] <coz_> PDG1,  you could attemtp to replace the work jaunty  with lucid   its risky at best though
[02:34] <coz_> PDG1,  you definitly do NOT want to use the jaunty repository howev
[02:34] <oaf> http://pastebin.com/nDM1EsAJ
[02:34] <coz_> however
[02:35] <coz_> PDG1,  rather replace  jaunty with lucid in the repository link
[02:35] <PDG1> coz_, i was also thinking that...
[02:35] <coz_> PDG1,  just dont use the jautny repo
[02:35] <coz_> PDG1,   what is this for again?
[02:35] <nb72> Hi all.  I have ubuntu server setup.  I can ssh in using 192.168.0.100.  how can I ssh in using the hostname?
[02:35] <oaf> coz_ http://pastebin.com/nDM1EsAJ
[02:35] <Bogus8> What the F is going on with this system?  I was able to tell i to continue to boot... now when I logged in it says "unable to add entry for user gilligan" then it dumps out a BUNCH of errors.  It has also mounted the / in RO and didn't mount a second drive (possibly due to that error)
[02:36] <coz_> oaf,   you probably didnt use   sudo for the commands
[02:36] <oaf> coz_ i try it
[02:36] <ilovefairuz> !language | Bogus8
[02:36] <PDG1> coz_, I'm not even sure if maybe I'm using the most up to date driver for karmic anyway
[02:36] <coz_> PDG1,  you are on karmic?
[02:36] <Bogus8> ilovefairuz: really?  I can't say "F"?
[02:36] <coz_> PDG1,  sorry to make you repeat but what is t his for again?
[02:37] <ilovefairuz> Bogus8: the whole phrase is not needed
[02:37] <oaf> coz_ invalid command after i use sudo
[02:38] <robertpayne> Is there any way to test cron job configuration files?
[02:38] <coz_> oaf,   ok start from the beginning...what are you doing?
[02:38] <Bogus8> ilovefairuz: well, Might be if you were on my end? :)
[02:38] <oaf> coz_ i want to put a file into that ftp server
[02:38] <PDG1> coz_, not really repeating, so it's okay :P... my display cuts out during video playback sometimes. I was directed to find something about the video card i have, 82865G (rev 02), and i found that wiki artivle
[02:38] <coz_> oaf,  oh  !!!  ok then you are talking with the wrong person for that  sorry
[02:39] <oaf> ....
[02:39] <coz_> PDG1,  and the read out of    lspci | grep -i vga

[02:47] <my_first> hello
[02:47] <my_first> I am a ubuntu starter
[02:48] <PDG1> coz_,  from what I've read already... it seems like it's something to do with 3D and 2D video not being displayed properly... which just gave me an idea
[02:48] <Mr_Sonoma> my_first, how can we help you?
[02:48] <Chaorain> ilovefairuz: I had a few typos but here it is, http://pastebin.com/aeFKHHbs

[02:51] <PDG1> coz_, and you're gone
[02:51] <Guest50770> could anyone here help me with an issue trying to play media files off a windows share
[02:54] <wiley> anyone know where I can get touchpad help for lucid on my macbook 5,1?
[02:55] <ShapeShifter499> is there a command I can run so a application would run the latest xulrunner no matter where its installed?   i.e.  "/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.7/xulrunner -app "/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.7/chatzilla/application.ini" ?
[02:57] <cornwallis> here is what i am trying to do: say i have a folder called /clientA and it has files in it on the local computer (server 1). I also have another server (server 2) on the same LAN that needs to share files across the network to that same folder "/clientA". will NFS be able to combine the files on that folder? can someone lead me in the correct direction?
[02:57] <ZykoticK9> wiley, don't know if you seen it already, but might help.  good luck https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-1_5-2/Lucid
[02:58] <wiley> thanks Zykotick.... been there and all around Google but can't seem to get it to behave like it does in OSX.... too sensitive
[02:58] <ZykoticK9> !tab > wiley
[02:59] <ZykoticK9> wiley, having to type ZykoticK9 is a pain.  Zy (TAB) is SO much easier.
[02:59] <Random832> cornwallis: so, what, some of the files in the folder are on the local computer and others are on the server?
[02:59] <Random832> could you mount it in a different directory and do a symlink
[03:00] <wiley> yep, thanks ZykoticK9 ... cool feature.  I haven't been on IRC in years
[03:00] <cornwallis> yes, correct. the files on server2 need to be available on server1 through that same folder. the software will not allow it to work in different folders
[03:00] <Random832> of course, tab completion has its own danger
[03:00] <Random832> zykes-: isn't that right?
[03:01] <ZykoticK9> Random832, +1
[03:01]  * Random832 is always getting mixed up with Randall on #xkcd
[03:02] <FNi> I'm trying to add a cifs share, but the remote share has a space in the name. How do I represent the space for mounting?
[03:02] <retour> c
[03:03] <ZykoticK9> FNi, you need to use a \ before the space to "escape" it
[03:03] <FNi> c?
[03:03] <thune3> cornwallis: i'm still no 100% clear on what you are trying to do. But the direction I would point you in is "aufs".
[03:03] <ZykoticK9> FNi, for\ example\ this\ is\ with\ spaces
[03:03] <FNi> ZykoticK9: gotcha. so "Server (E)" becomes "Server\ (E)"?
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> FNi, you got it ;)
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> FNi, no!
[03:04] <FNi> do i need to esscape the brackets too/
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> FNi, you need to escape the ( too
[03:04] <FNi> *escape
[03:04] <FNi> :D great minds
[03:04] <happyface> what controls the +tab shell auto completion?
[03:04] <ZykoticK9> FNi, "Server\ \(E\)" i think
[03:04] <FNi> thanks, will try it
[03:05] <cornwallis> i will read into that thune3. thanks
[03:05] <FNi> it's a horrible name for a share, but I don't have access to change it...
[03:06] <sweetpi> FNi: or depending on how your doing it, you can wrap it in quotes
[03:06] <ZykoticK9> sweetpi, +1 on the suggestion FNi
[03:07] <FNi> " or '?
[03:07] <ZykoticK9> FNi, "
[03:07] <FNi> ta
[03:07] <sweetpi> either actually
[03:07] <ZykoticK9> sweetpi, there is a difference between " and ' (don't ask me what it is though)
[03:08] <sweetpi> for shell, but some programs will only allow " in their config
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> we using spaces in share names in fstab? or did i miss somthing? :)
[03:10] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, share name of samba, not sure where/how it's being used ;)
[03:10] <sweetpi> he didnt specify where exactly. im just blabbing :)
[03:10] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  well in fstab you dont quote the spaces. you have to use some other weird sequwence.
[03:11] <ZykoticK9> FNi, see above
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> a single quote is  i always think of as a 'more intense' quote :) vs
[03:11] <FNi> oh crap, yes it is for fstab
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> the " which lets programs still interperate/change things in teh quotes.
[03:12] <ZykoticK9> not to be confused with executing a subprogram ` ;)  muddying the waters further
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> FNi:  i was thinking it was like a sequence like 'name/040whatever' or somthing odd like that with a ###
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  i always try to use $(subprogram) these days :)
[03:12] <sweetpi> FNi: then \040 is for spaces
[03:12]  * sweetpi is too slow
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> sweetpi:  there we go.. :) i never can rember that.
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> I had teh # right at least.
[03:13] <FNi> now i'm confused. is it \ or /?
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> Now WHY its \040  i never have figured out.
[03:13] <sweetpi> FNi: its \040
[03:13] <FNi> ta
[03:14] <FNi> and what about brackets, do they still need to be escaped too?
[03:14] <ZykoticK9> FNi, the \040 is NOT as escape character situation, it's an ANSI call or something
[03:14] <randy_> Dr_Willis: thats because 040 is octal for the space in ASCII
[03:14] <ZykoticK9> s\ANSI\ASCII
[03:14] <bp0> is there a ppa for nvidia drivers?
[03:15] <bp0> not the nvidia vdpau one
[03:15] <randy_> Dr_Willis: so, if you want to find a particular character that is not on you keyboard, you can just reference the ASCII table.
[03:15] <sweetpi> randy_: wouldnt that be 62 in octal?
[03:15] <ZykoticK9> bp0, that repo probably has the newest nvidia drivers packaged for ubuntu.  there may be others, good luck.
[03:16] <bp0> it doesn't have drivers, just the vdpau mplayer
[03:16] <sweetpi> nm getting my numbers mixed up
[03:16] <bp0> is there a ppa with the 25x.xxx series of nvidia drivers?
[03:17] <subone> Can anyone tell me what this line does in bash? `done < <( somecommand )`
[03:17] <codeshah> hey guys, my cron jobs keep beingloged to /var/mail/<user>
[03:17] <codeshah> how can I change this? I added a >> test.log but that didn't work :(
[03:17] <EruditeOgre> Anyone out there have experience with configuring a 10.04 install for power saving on a laptop? Running PowerTOP right now and it's telling me an audio device is active 100% of the time but I can't seem to figure out what is going on or how to fix it.
[03:18] <randy_> sweetpi: lets not overanalyze the *why* behind ASCII.  i just know that if i check on ascii-table.com that 040 is for space in octal
[03:19] <luis_> ayuda, alguien me pude ayudar a poner modo monitro Ubunu
[03:19] <luis_> ?
[03:19] <FNi> Is there a way to 'reboot' fstab so I can see if this worked?
[03:19] <sweetpi> randy_: yeah, i messed up. was thinking space was 32 in hex
[03:19] <enav1> hi people i wnat to see the hardware black list of ubuntu... give me a link pleas
[03:19] <its-me-again> FNi: never fstab an os when you are using it.
[03:20] <FNi> its-me-again: okay
[03:20] <enav1> luis_: unete a #Ubuntu-es
[03:20] <randy_> FNi: check /etc/mtab : that is the file for currently mounted drives
[03:20] <ZykoticK9> FNi, i think "sudo mount -a" will try to mount everything in fstab
[03:21] <its-me-again> FNi: the best way to fstab an os is to boot from live cd run gparted right-click on partition you want to run and check it.
[03:21] <ZykoticK9> its-me-again, are you thinking of fdisk?
[03:21] <sweetpi> or fsck
[03:21] <its-me-again> oops i am
[03:22] <randy_> its-me-again: yeah, i'm confused too

[03:32] <klose> exit
[03:32] <EruditeOgre> usacomputertec: using pulseaudio?
[03:33] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre no I ditched pulseaudio for ALSA
[03:33] <sweetpi> slim: you should be able to do it with a udev rule. there might be an easier way, but ive never tried to do this before
[03:34] <slim> sweetpi, how do i set the udev rule and what is that?
[03:34] <ZykoticK9> usacomputertec, semantics i know but Pulseaudio uses ALSA.  Pulse is a replacement for ESD.
[03:34] <EruditeOgre> usacomputertec: have libsdl1.2debian-alsa installed?
[03:35] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre just a sec
[03:35] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre it's not installed install it?
[03:35] <rolandpish> Hi, I'm in a box with xubuntu and installed nautilus because of ease of use of some apps. How can I avoid nautilus respawn when I kill it?
[03:36] <sweetpi> slim: like i said, ive never tried to give all users access to all usb devices. just thought it would be worth mentioning one possible way
[03:36] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre are you still with me?
[03:38] <enriq> rhythmbox is not showing cover art, plugin is enabled, spins continuously, any idea?
[03:38] <ZykoticK9> slim, you might want to see this post if your USB disks are FAT/NTFS http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1448092 good luck man.
[03:39] <E_MAN> could someone please help me with a permission problem?
[03:40] <E_MAN> i cant install anything
[03:40] <ZykoticK9> !anyone | E_MAN
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> rolandpish:  check the nautilus command line options.  theres one you need to use i belive
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> E_MAN:  clairfy what you are doing and how.
[03:40] <rolandpish> Dr_Willis, thanks! I'll check it right now.
[03:40] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, "install anything"?  using what?  what are you installing?
[03:41] <E_MAN> when i try to install any program i get an error
[03:41] <Livin4Jesus> Hi.
[03:41] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, "pulling teeth here", what is the error?
[03:41] <E_MAN> it says that i do not have the permissions to , or the file is corrupt
[03:41] <E_MAN> sorry i type sorta slow
[03:41] <alex_> hi, I'd like a dock/panel in which open applications are represented by a single icon, but applications are NOT grouped
[03:41] <alex_> does such a thing exist?
[03:41] <slim> ZykoticK9, thx but it says to add this to fstab: `/dev/sdd1 /media/usbstick vfat user,umask=000,utf8,flush,noauto 0 0`, but can i make ntfs use umask=000 as default for all drives, not just the ones the explicitly specify?
[03:42] <Livin4Jesus> I need some help with Wubi. When I install it and reboot to really get it install, but when I get there, it just reboots. Help?
[03:42] <ZykoticK9> slim, i'm sorry i don't use FAT/NTFS for hardly anything sorry.  i really don't know.
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> E_MAN:  tell us Exactly what you are installing and how.
[03:42] <E_MAN> teamviewer
[03:43] <slim> ZykoticK9, hmm yea not sure why im still using ntfs either. Its a legacy from the times where i still was using windows :(
[03:43] <medy> hi all. I upgraded to 10.4 and when i it restarted i am getting this error and a frozen sxcreen: a box pops up and says the nVidia driver isnt su[porrted etc etc and ubuntu will start in low graphics mode. but then it stays frozen. whats my first move here? do i need to make a LiveCD of 10.4?
[03:43] <gluxon> alex_: Avant Window Navigator?
[03:43] <slim> too much data to convert now.
[03:43] <E_MAN> and i am installing it by using GDebi package installer
[03:44] <Livin4Jesus> Hihi. I need some help with Wubi. When I install it and reboot to really get it install, but when I get there, it just reboots. Help?
[03:44] <EruditeOgre> usacomputertec: try installing it and see if it works.
[03:44] <alex_> thanks I'll try it out
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> E_MAN:  so you are doing 'sudo gdebi whatever.deb'  ?
[03:45] <E_MAN> no
[03:46] <E_MAN> let me try
[03:46] <E_MAN> hold on
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, in Dr_Willis you should substitute sudo with gksu
[03:46] <Random832> what exactly does gksu do that's different from sudo, other than using a gui for the prompt?
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> !gksudo | Random832
[03:47] <ZykoticK9> Random832, using sudo with graphical programs can break your account!
[03:47] <Random832> the manpage for gksu just says it's a front-end
[03:48] <NeonLightning> with my msi wind u100 every time i unplug the power it thinks its below the critical level and goes into standby and i can't see any setting to change that to do nothing
[03:48] <medy> i upgraded to 10.4 and im getting a frozen screen upon startup. do i need the new LiveCD or can i try to fix the problem with the 9.04 liveCD
[03:48] <Livin4Jesus> Hello? I need some help with Wubi Installer.
[03:48] <Wiesshund> medy how old is your pc?
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  gdebi  is terminal.. gdebi-gtk is the X gui. :)
[03:49] <Livin4Jesus> I need some help with Wubi. When I install it and reboot to really get it install, but when I get there, it just reboots. Help me, please.
[03:49] <medy> weiSSHUND not old at all
[03:49] <Wiesshund> Livin4Jesus,  no need to repeate just be patient
[03:49] <medy> amd phenom
[03:49] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, my bad, i though dpkg was used on terminal.  Sorry E_MAN ignore my gksu advice!
[03:49] <Wiesshund> medy how old is the video card then?
[03:49] <kifo> Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to run a program as root without leaving the terminal window open the entire time its running
[03:49] <Random832> dpkg doesn't handle dependencies
[03:49] <E_MAN> sorry i am getting this error what does it mean sudo: must be setuid root
[03:49] <Random832> uh.....
[03:49] <Wiesshund> medy im just wondering bout the unsuppoerted msg
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  gedbi on terminal on a deb will auto-grab the dependencies.. :)  thats the main benifit. actually it may also ask for root permisions/pass if you dont use sudo/whatever.
[03:49] <Random832> ls -l /usr/bin/sudo
[03:50] <medy> weisshund nvidia 9800
[03:50] <Random832> -rwsr-xr-x 2 root root 127664 2010-04-13 13:43 /usr/bin/sudo
[03:50] <Random832> E_MAN: what is it for you?
[03:50] <medy> previousluy i was using proprietary drivers for the nvidia card i believe
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> E_MAN:  sounds like you may have some how caused a major issue on the system if  sudo is not 'setuid root'
[03:50] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, good to know - thanks.  New tools are always welcomed ;)
[03:50] <Random832> have you at any point screwed something up with a chmod command?
[03:50] <E_MAN> ok
[03:51] <usacomputertec> Erudite0gre ok we installed it and now we need to see if it works.
[03:51] <E_MAN> no
[03:51] <Random832> what does ls -l /usr/bin/sudo say for you?
[03:51] <E_MAN> rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 127664 2010-06-18 16:40 /usr/bin/sudo
[03:51] <Random832> also - anyone: is there a tool that does a comprehensive check of permissions against the package database?
[03:51] <Random832> E_MAN: ok, that's bad.
[03:51] <FNi> And another problem with fstab. The mount works perfectly but ubuntu executes fstab way before the laptop connects to the wireless network, causing the share to be inaccessible. Possible to 'delay' the mount?
[03:51] <grumete> hi I was installing wormux trough the shell and when getting "setting up wormux..." now freezes, it's just there for several minutes and nothing happens
[03:51] <Random832> first of all, chmod go-w /usr/bin/*
[03:52] <Random832> second, chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo
[03:52] <E_MAN> i tried to fix another problem with chmod
[03:52] <Random832> ok, you screwed it up
[03:52] <E_MAN> maybe is screwed someting up
[03:52] <Random832> what was the chmod command that you did before?
[03:52] <Random832> ..y.eah
[03:52] <E_MAN> hold on
[03:52] <Random832> what was the _exact_ chmod command that you did before for the other thing, and what directory did you run it from
[03:52] <E_MAN> gluxon: what was the command?
[03:52] <Wiesshund> medy yea that would be normal (proprietary drivers) you might wanna make the 10.4 liveCD. i am not sure with that up to date hardware why its saying not supported
[03:53] <kifo> Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to run a program as root without leaving the terminal window open the entire time its running
[03:53] <E_MAN> gluxon: ???
[03:53] <kifo> E_MAN: you mean grumete?
[03:54] <E_MAN> Random832: i think it is chmod 777 ./ -R -v
[03:54] <Random832> E_MAN: eek. _where_ did you run that?
[03:54] <Random832> what was your current working directory at that time? and who told you that command?
[03:54] <E_MAN> and kifo no gluxon is my  friend
[03:54] <kifo> ah okay sorry
[03:54]  * Random832 isn't so sure he's your friend if he gave you that command
[03:55] <E_MAN> i think it was home/(my user name)/
[03:55] <Random832> that shouldn't have hit /usr/bin
[03:55] <grumete> kifo I'm trying to install wormux trough the shell.
[03:55] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, if 777 has been applied to everything in /usr/bin that's a bad thing.
[03:55] <Random832> so... again, general question
[03:55] <E_MAN> k
[03:55] <kifo> grumete: something against synaptic?
[03:55] <Random832> is there any command that will verify every file against the package database?
[03:55] <monkey_dust> 5 am here
[03:55] <Random832> and fix permissions
[03:55] <E_MAN> is there a way to fix it?
[03:55] <grumete> yes, it doesn't have the latest version.
[03:56] <kifo> oh so youre using some package from the site
[03:56] <kifo> ?
[03:56] <Random832> E_MAN: that's what i'm trying to find out... i gave you two things that should help, but without knowing the full scope of the problem, who knows what got screwed up
[03:56] <grumete> ok, the point is that it just stopped
[03:56] <E_MAN> it is possible that i ran it in the wrong directory
[03:56] <sweetpi> Random832: he probably missed the . in ./ and changed perms recursively on /
[03:56] <medy> is there a command to get into command line during the time ubuntu is strating up?
[03:56] <Random832> E_MAN: do me a favor and do ls -ld / /usr /usr/bin, and paste the output to pastebin
[03:56] <kifo> medy: you mean boot into command line instead of x
[03:57] <E_MAN> drwxrwxrwx 22 root root  4096 2010-07-22 23:34 /
[03:57] <E_MAN> drwxrwxrwx 12 root root  4096 2010-07-23 00:43 /usr
[03:57] <E_MAN> drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 36864 2010-07-23 00:53 /usr/bin
[03:57] <medy> yea that would make sense
[03:57] <ZykoticK9> medy, hold shift and select recovery mode from grub menu is the closest...
[03:57] <kifo> i used to have to do some roundabout thing
[03:57] <EvilPhoenix> !pastebin | E_MAN
[03:57] <kifo> let me link you medy
[03:57] <E_MAN> sorry
[03:57] <kifo> medy: i know theres a better way to do it but i did some weird workaround that always worked for me, ill find it
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> Biggest danger to a Ubuntu/Linux box these days.. seems to be the users :)
[03:58] <Random832> anyway, that tells us that what we were afraid of is true
[03:58] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, if you've set everything in / to 777 i'd say reinstalling is probably easiest way to correct the issue.  Hopefully someone disagrees ;)  Good luck man, you might need it.
[03:58] <Random832> so is there any permission fixing tool?
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> Random832:  Other then total reinstalling of every package... (ick)
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> Random832:  and even then. that may miss some stuff :)
[03:59] <medy> shouldnt the recovery option in GRUB be only a command line?
[03:59] <medy> bec that too freezes up
[03:59] <NeonLightning> Dr_Willis: thats been the biggest danger for linux systems forever
[03:59] <Guest15420> hey i just got ubuntu and when i play something it plays out my speakers and my headphones how do i fix that?
[03:59] <E_MAN> what exactly does 777 do?
[04:00] <Random832> E_MAN: it sets it to rwxrwxrwx instead of what it's supposed to be
[04:00] <kifo> medy: if youre talking about what im thinking i couldnt find any *easy* way to do it
[04:00] <ZykoticK9> E_MAN, everything read / write and worst executable
[04:00] <E_MAN> ok
[04:00] <medy> ok im just gonna gho home and make a livecd and start my search there
[04:00] <medy> thanks anyhow
[04:00] <E_MAN> is there a way to fix the permissions without reinstalling?
[04:00] <Random832> mostly just annoyances if you're on a single user system, but for example it'll break anything that needs to be setuid
[04:00] <Random832> or stuff that doesn't allow their files to be accessible to all
[04:01] <Random832> apparently not
[04:01] <kifo> Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to run a program as root without leaving the terminal window open the entire time its running
[04:01] <Random832> just back up your whole /home/whatever to somewhere else and reinstall
[04:01] <E_MAN> ok
[04:01] <E_MAN> thanks
[04:01] <Guest15420> hey i just got ubuntu and when i play something it plays out my speakers and my headphones how do i fix that?
[04:01] <Random832> kifo: gksu
[04:01] <ZykoticK9> kifo, start the program from "gksudo"
[04:01] <E_MAN> ill reinstall later, but it is working for now
[04:01] <E_MAN> bye
[04:01] <kifo> is that a gnome thing? Ill try it
[04:02] <kifo> it isnt going to start up the whole gnome panel and everything right
[04:02] <Random832> kdesu or kdesudo if you're on kde
[04:02] <Random832> no, it's just gtk
[04:02] <kifo> im in awesome
[04:02] <Guest15420> anyone?
[04:02] <Random832> awesome?
[04:02] <kifo> yea
[04:02] <kifo> awesome window manager
[04:02] <Wiesshund> medy in 10.4 i dont think the command prompt option exists from the boot screen natively , you have to get into the os and change the run levels
[04:03] <ZykoticK9> Wiesshund, incorrect.  medy
[04:03] <ZykoticK9> !runlevels > Wiesshund
[04:03] <Datz> hi, I was just wondering why on the download page I see: 64bit Not recommended for daily desktop usage
[04:03] <Dr_Willis> Wiesshund: You could edit one of the grub boot menu lines and use the 'text' option if you wanted.
[04:04] <Guest15420> hey i just got ubuntu and when i play something it plays out my speakers and my headphones how do i fix that? i have asla but i can't separate the channels
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> Datz:  use waht you want. that advice for people that dont even kniow what 64bit is mainly.
[04:04] <kifo> Random832: ZykoticK9 that looks like it worked! thank you
[04:04] <ZykoticK9> Datz, official "bug" on the matter ;) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> Datz:  see http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Marcel-Gagne-Orbiting-Planet-buntu/Stop-Apologizing-For-Linux
[04:04] <Datz> Dr_Willis: ah, thanks for the info guys
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> Datz:  short answer. Use 64bit if you can. :)
[04:05] <kifo> Gksu doesnt run it as the correct user
[04:05] <warriorf1rgod> I am having an issue with ubuntu 10.04 where my volume indicator applet shows my volume as muted, but nothing in sound preferences does.  I also cannot open alsa mixer and have no sound.  Any suggestions?
[04:05] <kifo> its transmission, it doesnt run with all of my torrents and everything loaded, like its a different user
[04:06] <Wiesshund> ZykoticK9, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" still work?
[04:06] <ZykoticK9> kifo, "gksu -u $username program"
[04:06] <Guest15420> can anyone answer my question? :(
[04:06] <kifo> ZykoticK9: that equates to running it as root?
[04:06] <ZykoticK9> Wiesshund, don't think so.  but not "sure"
[04:06] <FabParma> does exist a startup delayer for autostart apps?
[04:06] <ZykoticK9> kifo, by default it's root, but if you use the -u switch you can specify the user
[04:07] <Wiesshund> heh on thing i kind of missed on newer distros, cmd line is nice if you need to fix gui related stuff
[04:07] <Dr_Willis> Guest15420:  you have checked the ubuntu forums? there may not be a quick fix. or it may depend on youyr exact sound card.
[04:07] <Guest15420> ok ill check
[04:07] <kifo> ZykoticK9: no, that gives me permission denied
[04:07] <ZykoticK9> kifo, what command are you using?
[04:08] <Datz> ZykoticK9, Dr_Willis: good articles, answered my question mostly I think :)
[04:08] <kifo> gksu -u brendan transmission -m
[04:08] <ZykoticK9> kifo, are you user brendan?
[04:08] <kifo> yes
[04:08] <ZykoticK9> kifo, then don't use gksu at all
[04:08] <kifo> ZykoticK9: gives the same error
[04:08] <NeonLightning> with my msi wind u100 every time i unplug the power it thinks its below the critical level and goes into standby and i can't see any setting to change that to do nothing. what can i do about that?
[04:09] <ZykoticK9> kifo, can you pastebin the entire error?
[04:09] <kifo> its only one line
[04:09] <ZykoticK9> kifo, is there a verbose switch?
[04:09] <kifo> could not open "/home/brendan/.config/transmission/lock" permission denied
[04:09] <kifo> ZykoticK9: ill try
[04:10] <andrea_> hola
[04:10] <ZykoticK9> kifo, i bet the permission on that lock file are set to root!
[04:10] <kifo> ZykoticK9: they are the same error, can i try this without gksu or should i use gksu
[04:10] <kifo> ZykoticK9: the reason i run it as root is because if i dont it doesnt load any of my torrents or settings or anything
[04:10] <ZykoticK9> kifo, ls -l /home/brendan/.config/transmission/lock
[04:10] <kifo> I tried to fix it once on the advice of someone here but it messed everything up and i had to manually add them all again
[04:11] <kifo> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-07-14 15:16 /home/brendan/.config/transmission/lock
[04:11] <ZykoticK9> kifo, owened by root exactly
[04:12] <kifo> i tried fixing this in some way suggested by someone in here and it really messed it up
[04:12] <kifo> so now i have to run it as root
[04:12] <here4thegear> Using ubuntu in vmware but I need to be anonymous online. proxy maybe? what can I do ensure that I'm less 'traceable'
[04:12] <kifo> or it doesnt load my setting
[04:13] <ZykoticK9> kifo, if you need to run it as root it very bad!  you should fix it, but i'd worry about having to restart your torrents so don't really want to recommend solutions :|
[04:13] <FabParma> how to delay the startup apps like beagle daemon, google desktop etc?
[04:13] <kifo> ZykoticK9: yea im sort of ashamed to say i run it as root but its a problem i need to fix
[04:13] <kifo> i have some odd 700 torrents running all the time
[04:13] <kifo> so if i mess something up i have to re add them all one by one and say where the data is and check it
[04:14] <kifo> took me about a month, but its not a good situation to be in, running a program as root like that, i think
[04:14] <ZykoticK9> kifo, especially a network file sharing program
[04:14] <kifo> im not proud, but ive been unable to fix it thusfar
[04:15] <kifo> transmission chat people told me to renistall so, i dont want to do that, that would involve manually adding them all again
[04:15] <thune3> NeonLightning: there is a gconf setting trick in post 1 of this that might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9230036
[04:15] <ZykoticK9> kifo, this is BAD advice - but it bet it caused the problem in the first place.  trying just running "sudo transmission_BLAH_BLAH" and i bet it works.
[04:15] <kifo> it does, but then i have to leave the terminal open
[04:15] <kifo> and its very ugly
[04:15] <ZykoticK9> kifo, LOL
[04:15] <kifo> i just want to run it as sudo transmission blah blah in the background
[04:16] <kifo> so i dont have to be ashamed every time i see it
[04:16] <subone> What is the equivilant kill signal for clicking the X in a windows title? so that if it goers to tray it will
[04:16] <ZykoticK9> kifo, you're proving to the channel why "YOU SHOULD NEVER USE SUDO for graphical apps" ;)
[04:16] <kifo> ZykoticK9: i didnt want to, but on the advice of someone here, it became broken and i havent been able to fix it
[04:17] <kifo> it used to run and just not read files from external drives was the problem, it had to be root for that, then i did something and now it wont even start without sudo blah blah, i just want to run it as sudo blah blah in the background and have it be done with
[04:18] <kifo> wouldnt running something through gksu as root be equivalent to running it as sudo blah blah from a terminal logged in as a user?
[04:18] <ZykoticK9> kifo, have you tried running it from inside screen?
[04:19] <kifo> what is inside screen?
[04:19] <ZykoticK9> kifo, type "screen" in a terminal and see if it's installed, if not install it
[04:19] <kifo> what is it....my computer is very slow, i cant run anything too graphical
[04:20] <ZykoticK9> kifo, lol it's not graphical at all.
[04:20] <kifo> edit: its installed
[04:21] <kifo> trying "screen sudo transmission -m"
[04:21] <ZykoticK9> kifo, ok.  once you type screen.  then start your transmission client as normal, then press ctrl+a+d which should "detach" you back to the first terminal.  then close the terminal window ;)
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  or from terminal --> 'commandtorun &' then 'exit'
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  and dont use the 'close button' ever. :) use exit command..
[04:22] <kifo> Dr_Willis: that requires me to leave the terminal open
[04:22] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, if you close the terminal won't that close the program!?
[04:22] <kifo> i dont have a close button, i dont even have a mouse :p
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  & and exit wont
[04:22] <kifo> Dr_Willis: yes, it will, because as long as transmission is running, it wont complete and go to exit
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  it hasent in the last 8+ years.. there MAY besome that still close.. but ive never seen it.
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  i run gui apps with & and exit all the time.
[04:22] <senthil> If you use "nohup sudo transmission &" you can close the terminal window
[04:22] <NeonLightning> thune3: lets hope that works(i just tried briefly and it now seems to lock up my system)
[04:23] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, xcalc & - then close terminal and xcalc closes :(
[04:23] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  i just did 'transmission &'  then 'exit' here.. transmission still ruinning
[04:23] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  i did mention the 'exit' command and 'never using the close button' :)
[04:23] <kifo> Dr_Willis: doesnt work for me
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  xcalc &, and exit. does not close xcalc here
[04:24] <kifo> its okay i dont have buttons
[04:24] <kifo> dont worry
[04:24] <kifo> senthil: that worked perfectly, thank you
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, ok gotcha exit is key.  Thanks number 2 for the night ;)
[04:24]  * Dr_Willis wonders WHY someone is 'sudo transmission' in the fiorst place
[04:24] <kifo> Dr_Willis: bad command from someone in this chat
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  ages ago i set up window manager where xterm dident even have a close button.
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, a lesson on why never to run gui apps with sudo
[04:25] <kifo> anyways buttons are useless if you dont have a mouse Dr_Willis
[04:25] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, that was re: Transmission
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  ive never really had any issues with gui aps and sudo.. other then a 'cant open display' due to X securioty type settings
[04:25] <kifo> Dr_Willis: it always leaves the terminal open for me
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> but once i get a system set up. I dont really need to sudo much .
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  clarify what you mean/are doing perhaps?
[04:26] <subone> What is the equivilant kill signal for clicking the X in a windows title? so that if it goers to tray it will
[04:26] <henry__> español
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> subone, do you mean minimize?  there is no kill signal for that.
[04:27] <henry__> español
[04:27] <thune3> NeonLightning: the only other suggestion in that thread to to make sure bios is current.
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> !es | henry__
[04:28] <subone> ZykoticK9, no i mean when i click the X button to close the app it goes to the system tray. what signal is equivilant of hitting the X button?
[04:28] <kifo> DURgod_: what?
[04:28] <kifo> Dr_Willis: * what do you mean clarify lol
[04:28] <ZykoticK9> subone, those apps (like Rhythmbox) are special, they aren't typical linux behaviour.
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[04:29] <subone> ZykoticK9, so you're saying i cant send a specific kill signal to it? i thought thats how the wm handled it...
[04:29] <Dr_Willis> kifo:  i have no idea what you ment by 'always leaves teh terminal open'   what does? be verbose and concise on IRC :)
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: can I PM please dude?
[04:30] <ZykoticK9> subone, you can use "kill PID#" or "killall program_name" to kill a program, equivalent of x in corner.
[04:30] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, of course.
[04:31] <subone> ZykoticK9, so then if it is equivilant how does the app know the difference between clicking the X and sending that signal, because its not going to the tray
[04:32] <ZykoticK9> subone, as i said, that tray stuff if "non-standard" behaviour
[04:33] <subone> ZykoticK9, the app already has it built in so why cant i do it?
[04:33] <Izinucs_> subone: the kill signals and x don't interact with the program itself.. mostly.. they do with the system.. it tells the system to "kill" that program
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> subone: you can use alltray to tray apps
[04:34] <subone> Izinucs_, so how would you recommend sending such an app to the tray as it would if the X was clicked because clicking the X and killing using killall are not the same result
[04:34] <magicianlord> what's the command to intsall the current nvidia drivers from console?
[04:34] <subone> ActionParsnip, i am not trying to tray anything that doesnt already tray itself
[04:34] <subone> i just want to do it from the cli
[04:35] <magicianlord> tru subone
[04:35] <ZykoticK9> magicianlord, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> some programs have command line optiosn to do things like that. as a 'remote controll' type feature
[04:35] <subone> huh?
[04:35] <magicianlord> ZykoticK9: that's whati thought. thanks
[04:35] <senthil> you can use "wmctrl -c  <window Title>" to close a window from commandline
[04:35] <senthil> you have to install wmctrl thou
[04:36] <subone> senthil, lemme try that
[04:36] <Izinucs_> subone: ah I missed part of your earlier posts.. you want a program to end up by the clock like pidgon works or empathy .. right?  I don't know the answer to that unfortunately
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> or you can use: kill with some special options to make it close gracefully
[04:36] <wrek> hey all. think i have a majr problem on my hands. booting into recovery mode i get these mesagges: init: ureadahead-other main process (3377) terminated with status 4. mountall: fsck /home [2818] terminated with status 8. mountall: unrecoverable fsck error: /home
[04:36] <subone> senthil, that works thanks!
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> Izinucs_: alltray does it
[04:40] <ZykoticK9> kill by default is "asking politely" to close actually.  -9 is the "now" option.
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> 'close with extreme prejudice' :)
[04:41] <thune3> wrek: is this after formating a new home partition? or did some action preceed this error or was it working and then out of the blue...?"
[04:41] <Izinucs_> ZykoticK9: what's the -15 option? *NOW!* as opposed to now
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> Izinucs_: -9 is the biggest hammer
[04:41] <jvm> hi. i migrated an old ubuntu user to ubuntu 9.10, and want to encrypt his home directory. could i simply do "sudo adduser –encrypt-home foo", login with his old user, login with his new user, then move all data from the old home directory to the new home directory, delete the old user, and rename the new one?
[04:41] <wrek> thune3 this happened after upgrading to 10.04
[04:41] <ZykoticK9> Izinucs_, i like Dr_Willis's "extreme prejudice" description ;)
[04:42] <Izinucs_> ActionParsnip: ZykoticK9 mee too
[04:42] <ubuser> anyone know a beat maker that would possibly work on ubuntu 5.1
[04:42] <thune3> wrek: sounds like need to correct your fstab entry for your home dir.
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> ubuser: lmms
[04:43] <magicianlord> what's the default nvidia driver installed
[04:43] <Flannel> jvm: You want to encrypt the whole home folder? or just the Private folder in it?
[04:43] <jvm> Flannel, there is currently no Private folder. i want to encrypt the whole home directory.
[04:44] <ubuser> actionp- my ubuntu 5.1 computer isnt connected to the internet either, do i need any special files, and im kinda new to linux.. can i just download the linux version
[04:44] <ubuser> it says ub 8
[04:45] <wrek> thune3 im currently making a LiveCD. i guess I'll look at my fstab once i get one. can i just install a new version of ubuntu and keep my files? bec there are other things going on and it looks like a lot of work. i have the OS on a seperate partition
[04:45] <Flannel> jvm: Yeah, but you can add an encrypted private folder.  Alright.  http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/06/migrating-to-encrypted-home-directory.html  Is a howto for migrating
[04:45] <ubuser> does anyone know a beat maker that will work on an ancient version of ubuntu... 5.1
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> whats a 'beat maker' ? a metrodome ?
[04:46] <ubuser> fl studio
[04:46] <ubuser> my ub 5.1 pc isnt on the internet either..
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> and fl studio is ?
[04:46] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> HI
[04:46] <ubuser> music maker
[04:46] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> I AM GAY :)
[04:47] <FloodBot1> CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:47] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> MY AGE IS 17
[04:47] <Flannel> CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA Please stop.
[04:47] <jvm> thanks Flannel, i think i'll try it with the second user then, it sounds more straight-forward ;)
[04:47] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> hi
[04:47] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> i am gay and my age is 17 :)
[04:47] <ubuser> anyone know a music maker like flstudio that will work on ubuntu 5.1
[04:47] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> i love britney spears :):)
[04:47] <Flannel> ubuser: 5.10 isn't a supported version of Ubuntu (and hasn't been for a while).  I suggest you upgrade to a more recent one
[04:48] <Flannel> CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA: This is an Ubuntu support channel, please stay ontopic.  Thanks
[04:48] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> hi
[04:48] <thune3> wrek: this should be pretty straighforward from the livecd. depends on the "other things". With care (since your home dir is on a seperate partition), installing fresh and keeping home is doable.
[04:48] <CHICOGAYCOLOMBIA> i am gay and my age is 17 :):):)
[04:49] <ubuser> my 5.1 has sound and snd rec works...
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> ubuser: i'm guessing you mean frooty loops. lmms is very similar
[04:49] <ubuser> i dont think it works on ub 5.1
[04:50] <magicianlord> hmm
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> ubuser: your release isnt supported anymore
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> ubuser:  You should really consider reinstalling a newer version of ubuntu.
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> a 5 year old  version of ubuntu is  pushing it
[04:51] <ubuser> other one i have is 9.1   its only a 768 processor 128 ram
[04:51] <FNi> Anyone know why Ubuntu thinks my laptop lid is permanently closed?
[04:51] <ubuser> but i always have trouble getting the mic to work in 9.1
[04:51] <wrek> thune3 the other things seem to be the nviadia drivers. i guess first ill try to edit fstab although that always makes me nervous
[04:54] <RealEyes> whats up guys?
[04:54] <magicianlord> yo
[04:55] <magicianlord> what's the command to determine space used in console
[04:55] <ubuser> whats another word for music maker
[04:55] <Theo> hey guys. im running windows atm thru oracle vm virtualbox. i attached an usb drive but its no recognized by the machine. can anyone tell how to make vm virtualbox recognize my usb drive? cheers
[04:55] <Flannel> magicianlord: du (Disk Used)
[04:55] <ubuser> quotes...
[04:55] <magicianlord> Flannel: thanks
[04:56] <magicianlord> Flannel: is that in megabytes?
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> Theo:  you have checked teh vbirtualbox docs/manual?  You Are using the Virtualbox from the Vbox homepage? not the ose version in the repos?
[04:56] <ubuser> im checking google for a music maker, whats another common word for it
[04:57] <Theo> Hey Dr Willis. Yeah im looking at the manual atm and yeah i downloaded it from the homepage
[04:57] <NeonLightning> ubuser: depends on what way your making music i use makers called trackers
[04:57] <Flannel> magicianlord: KB
[04:58] <Flannel> magicianlord: And, possibly base 10 instead of base 2 (du -h will make it human readable, --si will force it to 1000 instead of 1024 for human readable)
[04:59] <doctorZeus> virtualbox docs were/are terrible imo.. it took me a few hours but google eventually led me to the path of success for usb devices on vbox
[05:00] <Dr_Willis> last i tried. i just clicked a few things. :) but that sas a few mo back.
[05:00] <shockmount> i always have problem with vbox
[05:00] <shockmount> worst i dont have a cdrom drive
[05:00] <Theo> neither haha
[05:01] <ubuser> if i am downloading a beat maker, can i use the linux version for ubuntu 5.10? or the src files??
[05:01] <Theo> ok thanks for the tipps guys
[05:01] <magicianlord> Flannel: thanks. the h parameter formats it by megabyte
[05:02] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[05:03] <EvilPhoenix> anyone here familiar with postfix?  someone in #ubuntu-server is seeking help with it and getting no responses
[05:03] <Flannel> magicianlord: It'll format it in whatever prefix is most sane
[05:03] <deathnight114> If i install ubuntu with the windows installer on the same partition as windows, will it format windows?
[05:04] <Flannel> deathnight114: You mean wubi?
[05:04] <deathnight114> Yeah
[05:04] <Flannel> deathnight114: No, wubi does no formatting or partitioning, it creates an Ubuntu install as a file on your windows system (two files, actually, I believe)
[05:04] <sebsebseb> deathnight114: no since it doesn't set up a real partition
[05:04] <deathnight114> okay
[05:04] <deathnight114> thanks
[05:04] <Flannel> deathnight114: It's just looking for a drive to store the files
[05:04] <deathnight114> I just needed to make sure before i installed it
[05:06] <deathnight114> thanks

[05:11] <ubuser> my pc is ubuntu 5.1 (i know its old, but it works..) i dont have internet on this pc however i need to get a specific depency on this computer is there any way to download "sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt libsamplerate0 libsdl-sound1.2" to put them on a cd??
[05:12] <sebsebseb> ammini: Your welcome
[05:12] <Craig`> so yeah, does anyone recommend me that book?
[05:12] <sebsebseb> Craig`: for learning programming or Linux commands?  I didn't go on link
[05:12] <Craig`> basically learning about linux and it's commands
[05:13] <ubuser> and install them cmds*
[05:13] <sebsebseb> ubuser: the 5.1 repos are probably long gone
[05:13] <sebsebseb> ubuser: 5.10 even
[05:13] <Dr_Willis> Craig`:  theres plenty of free books/guides and sites to learn  lots of that stuff..
[05:13] <Craig`> Dr_Willis, I was wondering if anyone had the book - i'd just get a pdf, but i can't currently find one -
[05:13] <sebsebseb> !terminal \ Craig`
[05:14] <Dr_Willis> Craig`:  i always check the bargin bins at the book stores for command line specific/bash books.  Most 'general' books are too general.
[05:14] <sebsebseb> !terminal | Craig`
[05:14] <sebsebseb> Craig`: Basic commands and such in Ubuntu Manual, and theres also Ubuntu Pocket Guide which you can download or I think buy in book form even
[05:14] <sebsebseb> Craig`: I mean download or buy in book form,  same for the manual actsualley
[05:14] <ubuser> its in my repos... how can i download it to the desktop

[05:15] <ubuser> free cds in the mail
[05:15] <ubuser> and it doesnt have internet
[05:16] <sebsebseb> ubuser: (in fact its like I have completly forgotton 5.10 since it was years ago)
[05:16] <Craig`> thanks guys
[05:16] <ubuser> and the sound works and my mic
[05:16] <ubuser> and snd rec
[05:16] <ubuser> so all i need is a music maker
[05:16] <ubuser> and im good
[05:16] <ubuser> i just need the depencys in the repos list
[05:16] <ubuser> on a cd
[05:16] <ubuser> and only got like 20 mins..
[05:16] <wrekt> if i install drivers while on a desktop session on the Live CD will they be there when i boot from the HDD?

[05:17] <sebsebseb> ubuser: Linux noob after using Ubuntu since 5.10 ?
[05:17] <ubuser> honestly i was wonderin if it was..
[05:17] <ubuser> what are "source" files exactly
[05:18] <ubuser> dos cmds?
[05:18] <jvm> hi. so ive a user with encrypted home directory, ubuntu 9.10. forgotten password. no important data in the encrypted home directory. i chrooted on a live cd and changed the password, but when rebooting, login didn't work. i dont wanna reinstall. adding a new user with the live cd also lead to "Authentication failed" when actually booting the system. how do you do this?
[05:19] <thune3> wrekt: not unless you are "chroot"ed into your hdd filesystem. If possible you could download ".deb"s and save them for installing when you boot hdd.
[05:19] <ubuser> is there a way to download svn repos to desktop
[05:19] <aloon> anyone ever have the problem in Lucid where you fn F-key to a virtual terminal and the screen is blank ? I can't seem to fix that even by doing everything in the write-ups to fix plymouth resolution etc
[05:20] <sebsebseb> ubuser: I think there might be something you can use, I mean a repo for old releases, but I am not sure.
[05:21] <sebsebseb> ubuser: Ok the computer is offline, but even so why exactly are you doing 5.10?  Why not just put a later version on that is still supported, for example 8.04.
[05:21] <ubuser> doesnt have teh internet and its an old pc
[05:21] <forbidy> #netcorp new free shell service running !!
[05:21] <forbidy> #netcorp new free shell service running !!
[05:21] <forbidy> #netcorp new free shell service running !!
[05:21] <ubuser> got the cds in the mail
[05:21] <FloodBot1> forbidy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:21] <sebsebseb> ubuser: 8.04 works on old PC's as well
[05:21] <ubuser> and 9.1 doesnt have sound with the no internet
[05:21] <hormiga> I need help from the best compiler
[05:22] <sebsebseb> ubuser: 9.10 you mean,  and sure, but 8.04 :D
[05:22] <hormiga> i have a compiling issues
[05:22] <sebsebseb> !8.04 | ubuser
[05:22] <ubuser> then i'd need even more cds
[05:22] <ubuser> need cmd svn-repo ..download/ftw
[05:22] <sebsebseb> ubuser: Well  offline install or not, once a version of Ubuntu is no longer supported,  as far as I know,  support for it, in this channel, is off topic.  Except for the upgrading to a later version that is supported, support.
[05:22] <ubuser> libqt3-mt pl9x
[05:23] <ubuser> supported non working sound too
[05:23] <EvilPhoenix> yeah old versions are not supported here, except with "how to upgrade from a non supported version"

[05:31] <RealEyes> were you talking to me?
[05:31] <bastidrazor> RealEyes: http://conky.sourceforge.net/   ..read the variables page and documentation. it will tell you all you need to know
[05:31] <tensorpudding> any media players which can play m4b?
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> Conky is the kind of tool you play with for 3 weeks to get your perfect config.. then lose it. :)
[05:32] <hormiga> !botabuse | sebsebseb
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> Ive learned to keep my fancy configs like that on my UbuntuOne account :)
[05:32] <hormiga> hehehee
[05:33] <sebsebseb> hormiga: your not meant to play with the bot in here, or ubuser for that matter
[05:33] <hormiga> Anywho...
[05:33] <bastidrazor> Dr_Willis: you are crazy.. conky rules and once you get it set. you want everyone else to use it
[05:33] <Gimped> RealEyes http://i34.tinypic.com/1zlc8rp.jpg <<< this is the power of Conky =)
[05:33] <hormiga> I come here for help
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> bastidrazor:  yes..  and it can take a week to get things just right. :) but i did find thiz the other day.
[05:33] <patman023> @rww: Window manager warning: "" found in configuration database is not a valid value for keybinding "run_command_1"
[05:33] <hormiga> they did not helped me in Ubuntustudio room
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> http://code.google.com/p/conkywizard/      a nice gui/config tool for conky
[05:34] <hormiga> Does anyone here knows something about Ubuntustudio?
[05:34] <sebsebseb> !studio | hormiga
[05:34] <bastidrazor> Dr_Willis: i agree, the tweaking needed to get it just perfect is time consuming. in my opinion it is well worth it. 2 of the 3 boxes i use have conky on them.
[05:34] <patman023> rww: Window manager warning: "" found in configuration database is not a valid value for keybinding "run_command_1"
[05:34] <hormiga> I come from that damn room!!
[05:34] <hormiga> ....
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> bastidrazor:  ive not even begun to learn the 'lua' features that are in the new conky versions :)
[05:35] <emet> I have a schroot
[05:35] <jvm> thune3, is that...unrealistic? i mean, on an older system it would just ve worked with chrooting and a simple "adduser", on the livecd.
[05:35] <emet> but I can't install in it
[05:35] <emet> because sudo doesn't exist
[05:35] <rww> patman023: I take it that metacity doesn't start?
[05:35] <sebsebseb> !language > hormiga
[05:35] <emet> what did I do wrong
[05:35] <grendal_prime> hey on the graphical greeter it opens up now with the screen split in half ..one half looks huge like its running something for people with limited visibility.  then it says something like "welcome to.." and i cant make out the rest of it.
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> hormiga:  have you asked an actual support related question yet?
[05:35] <patman023> thats the error i get in tty1
[05:35] <bastidrazor> Dr_Willis: neither have i, the older configs i have still work and i have yet to have a want for Lua and its greatness.
[05:35] <patman023> so no
[05:35] <hormiga> YES!!
[05:35] <rww> patman023: considering that it's a warning and not a fatal error, I'd check anyway.
[05:36] <hormiga> many times
[05:36] <grendal_prime> how do i turn that off?
[05:36] <emet> is there any tool that makes doing schroots easier
[05:36] <grendal_prime> i think i kid fkd that up somehow.
[05:36] <safetynet> When I go to System/Administration/Printing - "Add" a printer is greyed out - my HP Photosmart 7350 was listed But now is gone - Any ideas ? ?
[05:36] <patman023> rww: check which?
[05:36] <hormiga> I remember you, dr_Willis
[05:36] <rww> patman023: go back to your X session, see if metacity is running now.
[05:36] <grendal_prime> emet,  you mean ssh roots?
[05:36] <emet> no
[05:36] <hormiga> Dr_willis: do you know whats wrong here?
[05:36] <grendal_prime> like if you want to root an sftp user to there home dir?
[05:36] <hormiga> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/DFY0nQLE
[05:36] <emet> it's kind of like a virtual machine
[05:36] <sebsebseb> !language > grendal_prime
[05:36] <patman023> didnt work the first 6 times i tried it... now it did...
[05:36] <patman023> rww: thanks
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> hormiga:  i havent even seen your actual question.. it must of scrolled past..
[05:37] <emet> !schroot
[05:37] <emet> !chroot
[05:37] <sebsebseb> Dr_Willis: his actsaul question was basically well there wasn't one as such
[05:37] <sebsebseb> Dr_Willis: hormiga asked for the best compiler in the room
[05:37] <Gimped> wow its busy in here =D
[05:37] <grendal_prime> sebsebseb, sorry.
[05:37] <grendal_prime> wasnt thinking
[05:37] <rww> Dr_Willis: his actual question was pretty much http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/DFY0nQLE
[05:37] <grendal_prime> anyway.
[05:37] <hormiga> I was compiling intltools because UbuntuStudio had an old one, for the NetworkManager
[05:37] <emet> that wiki page is garbage btw
[05:37] <emet> it hasn't been updated in like 3 years
[05:38] <sebsebseb> emet: well heres some good news then
[05:38] <hormiga> because, Ubuntustudio did not detected my WIFI automatically
[05:38] <sebsebseb> emet: they are planning on re doing their help sites properly, by 10.10
[05:38] <grendal_prime> emet, you tried virtualbox?
[05:38] <RealEyes> Gimped, what is conky? Can I download it? lol
[05:38] <RealEyes> Gimped, what theme are you using?
[05:38] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: Conky is an app that you run from the terminal
[05:38] <grendal_prime> its about as simple as i can find ...and im a VCP
[05:38] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: will show your computers uptime and such
[05:38] <hormiga> I hate computers....
[05:38] <bastidrazor> RealEyes: did you not go to the page i linked you?
[05:38] <hormiga> i am outta here
[05:39] <emet> grendal_prime, virtualbox is not really suitable for my use case
[05:39] <Snakkah> Is it illegal to use a live USB OS (such as Ubuntu like I have installed on a USB stick) on a public computer? O_o
[05:39] <Gimped> RealEyes: http://conky.sourceforge.net/ <<< can get it here =)
[05:39] <sebsebseb> shockmount: probably not, but might be against the rules for using that computer
[05:39] <Gnea> it's easy to hate what isn't understood
[05:39] <RealEyes> bastidrazor, i didnt
[05:39] <emet> sebsebseb, :\
[05:39] <sebsebseb> shockmount: wrong one
[05:39] <sebsebseb> Snakkah: see above ^
[05:39] <bastidrazor> RealEyes: sudo apt-get install conky   .. the page i linked you is the documentation you need to configure it
[05:39] <Snakkah> sebsebseb, I figured that was for me. Haha.
[05:40] <deathnight114> how do i get adobe flash player 10 for ubuntu?
[05:40] <deathnight114> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree installs 9
[05:40] <deathnight114> not sure if flashplugin-nonfree is correct, but i know from when i previously had it installed
[05:40] <RealEyes> can someone read this pastebin file and tell me what this guy did while he was ssh'd into my system? :s
[05:40] <rww> !info flashplugin-installer
[05:40] <rww> doesn't look like 9 =\
[05:41] <deathnight114> hmm
[05:41] <deathnight114> i'll try
[05:42] <Gimped> RealEyes: if you setup conky, you can show port info and will prevent stuff like that from happening in the future =)
[05:42] <RealEyes> i let him do it
[05:42] <collabra> is there any program i can use to enable 'loudness equalization' for audio?
[05:42] <RealEyes> he said he was upgrading my OS
[05:42] <Gimped> ah =|
[05:42] <collabra> anyone?
[05:42] <bastidrazor> RealEyes: look at your ~/.bash_history  if he used your account.
[05:43] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: upgrading Ubuntu is easy to do graphicalley
[05:43] <RealEyes> bastidrazor, can I pm you so you can read the pastebin on history>?
[05:43] <AVkrakkle> What's up?
[05:43] <RealEyes> You got it anyway lol
[05:44] <tntc> is there a good music file duplicate remover out there?  like a banshee plugin or something?
[05:44] <deathnight114> okay
[05:45] <deathnight114> i did adobeplugin-nonfree
[05:45] <RealEyes> if anyone wants to read the pastebin file of this guy hacking my system, you can PM me.
[05:45] <deathnight114> and i clicked on a random video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62c3FL9b0Yc&feature=featured&videos=d94ltRRjhlQ)
[05:45] <RealEyes> I got the history log.
[05:45] <deathnight114> And when i try to move the video thing to a different location in the vid

[05:48] <sebsebseb> nimbiotics_: Right I am not even on Ubuntu right now since another distro :)  ,but if you look under  system  and then I think its log in  under administration or preferences

[05:50] <deathnight114> doesn't work
[05:50] <FabParma> how to install a ppa source?
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> deathnight114:  ok. so THATS the issue then
[05:51] <deathnight114> I remember when i used to have ubuntu installed
[05:51] <Dr_Willis> deathnight114:  try right clciking, and holding down the right mouse button, THEN left clicking on the video play/stop/slider buttons
[05:51] <deathnight114> I uninstalled flash player 9 (adobeplugin-nonfree) and then did some script
[05:51] <deathnight114> and it fixed it
[05:51] <ZykoticK9> deathnight114, are you using 64bit Ubuntu?
[05:51] <greezmunkey> safetynet: have you tried: sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart ?
[05:52] <deathnight114> yes @ ZykoticK9
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> theres dozen of 'fixs' for the 'cant click on a button in flash' issue
[05:52] <ZykoticK9> deathnight114, is clicking working now?
[05:52] <deathnight114> no
[05:52] <safetynet> greezmunkey: Nope will give a shot though - hang on let ya know - THanks
[05:52] <deathnight114> It works with certain video
[05:52] <deathnight114> videos
[05:52] <deathnight114> the ones with the older style look
[05:52] <deathnight114> it doesn't work on
[05:52] <FloodBot1> deathnight114: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:53] <nimbiotics_> sebsebseb> Found it, its called "Login Screen". Thanks!

[05:53] <deathnight114> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62c3FL9b0Yc&feature=featured&videos=d94ltRRjhlQ
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> deathnight114:  if you mainly have an issue with YouTube. you could use the HTML5 featuire  YouTube
[05:53] <greezmunkey> safetynet: you can monitor listening services with: netstat -antp | grep "LISTEN" (cups should be on port 631)
[05:54] <sebsebseb> nimbiotics_: Your welcome, and yeah I knew about that, just coudn't remember at the moment,  what it was actsauly called or the exact menu in system it was in.
[05:54] <PDG1> coz
[05:54] <deathnight114> Dr_Willis, there was a command to get flash player 10, and it fixed it
[05:54] <ZykoticK9> deathnight114, clicking works in both firefox and chromium on my 64bit ubuntu
[05:55] <RealEyes> Does anyone know a good YouTube video that explains Ubuntu and how it works in a theatrical manner? lol
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> deathnight114:  theres dozens of 'commands, and things' one can try to do to fix the flash issues.
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> deathnight114:  one 'fix' is to disable compiz.
[05:55] <deathnight114> brb, i found the script
[05:56] <abhijit> hello
[05:56] <nimbiotics_> Another one ... How do I change super user's password?
[05:56] <wrekt> whats the command to display all the hdd's and their uuid
[05:56] <RealEyes> Does anyone know a good YouTube video that explains Ubuntu and how it works in a theatrical manner? lol
[05:56] <EvilPhoenix> nimbiotics_:  google it we wont tell you since using sudo is all you need to do stuff.
[05:57] <RealEyes> nimbiotics, I know how to do that
[05:57] <RealEyes> goto terminal and type in: su passwd
[05:57] <terrylm> Grub problem with new 10.04 install, kernel panic, no root, unknown block device (0,0) ... any ideas
[05:57] <greezmunkey> wrekt: sudo blkid
[05:58] <xangua> RealEyes: i liked this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/best-advert-for-ubuntu-you-probably.html
[05:58] <wrekt> greezmunkey, thnx
[05:59] <seanj> well, the bug for pulseaudio lagging in games was closed, yet it still exists in Lucid.. im not pleased
[05:59] <sebsebseb> xangua: It was ok,  and it wasn't this Sebastian that told him about it :D  When I was in a channel like last night,  a guy is like, you got mentioned on omgubuntu,  and I was like what,  no  I wasn't except when it was user days.  :D
[05:59] <greezmunkey> wrekt: np :)
[06:01] <terrylm> Any help with grub?
[06:02] <sebsebseb> !grub2 | terrylm
[06:02] <sebsebseb> terrylm: I think what it is saying is it can't find your partition for Ubuntu, or use it at least
[06:02] <safetynet> greezmunkey: I see after running shell toward the end of command return it says - ( LISTEN 2075/cupsd ) But not sure what I'm look'n at here - can you explain abit ?
[06:02] <sebsebseb> terrylm: no /  and no Ubuntu
[06:03] <wrekt> this is my fstab. http://paste.ubuntu.com/468722/ is there anything to indicate why im having such problems after upgrading?
[06:03] <terrylm> Thanks all
[06:03] <sebsebseb> terrylm: either that or the kernel can't be used properly, hence kernel panic
[06:03] <greezmunkey> safetynet: it means it is running, point your browser to "localhost:631" (sans quotes) see what happens
[06:03] <sebsebseb> terrylm: it is a fresh install or?
[06:03] <terrylm> yes
[06:03] <safetynet> greezmunkey: By the way the first shell you gave did start the cups and printer shows up now as well THanks for that tid bit...
[06:04] <sebsebseb> terrylm: ok
[06:04] <wrekt> basically after upgrading im toasted. even with the liveCD i cant get a fresh install going as i get an error
[06:04] <greezmunkey> safetynet: cool
[06:04] <sebsebseb> terrylm: Have you done Ubuntu before?
[06:04] <terrylm> 9.04, running on it now.
[06:04] <sebsebseb> terrylm: oh so the problem was with 10.04, and then you put 9.04 on instead?
[06:05] <wrekt> i wish i was on 9.04
[06:05] <sebsebseb> wrekt: yeah 9.04  the last properly good version of Ubuntu that is still supported realy,  except for one little feature that I didn't like :D
[06:05] <terrylm> 9.04 first, then 10.04 on an unused partition.
[06:06] <wrekt> i wish i could go back. im totally locked out now
[06:06] <sebsebseb> wrekt: I think 11.04 might be the next one though, and yeah 10.10  netbook only though
[06:06] <slinkeey> hello
[06:06] <sebsebseb> wrekt: locked out?
[06:06] <terrylm> it would not boot, and trying to boot the old kernels for 9.04 booted into 10.04 but hung...
[06:06] <sebsebseb> terrylm: a dual boot?
[06:06] <deathnight114> fixed it!!!!!!!!
[06:06] <wrekt> yea my machine is toasted
[06:06] <deathnight114> :>
[06:06] <wrekt> im on the live cd atm
[06:06] <slinkeey> is it possible to create a virtual network device that is routed through my PPP connection
[06:06] <terrylm> yes
[06:06] <sebsebseb> terrylm: right uhmm
[06:07] <sebsebseb> terrylm: so which Grub you got on there?
[06:07] <sebsebseb> !grub | terrylm
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> You can share your dial up connection with other pc's on the lan. Yes. :0 did that years and years ago
[06:07] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[06:07] <slinkeey> so that I can can get around a vpn problem where my assigned ip address is the same as my office network
[06:07] <bastidrazor> Dr_Willis: 4KB/s is not much bandwidth to be sharing :\
[06:07] <slinkeey> no not share a connection
[06:07] <terrylm> I had to edit the root= entry for 9.04 kernel and it booted right up and here I am...
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> bastidrazor:  a few years back.. it was all we had. :)
[06:07] <slinkeey> I tether off my blackberry and I am getting 10.20.x.x as the assigned ip
[06:08] <sebsebseb> terrylm: why dual booting 9.04 and 10.04?  since the problem with Grub ?
[06:08] <slinkeey> well my office just so happens to use 10.20.x.x as the internal network
[06:08] <terrylm> just like to know 10.04 work and migrate some things over before blowing 9.04 away.  like to have options.
[06:09] <Sary> Hello Ubuntu ;)
[06:09] <wrekt> anyone recognize this error: mountall: fsck /home [2818] terminated with status 8. mountall unrecoverable fsck error: /home
[06:09] <slinkeey> so I was hoping to trick my notebook intot hinking it is on 192.168 network so it route 10.x.x.x through the vpn when connected
[06:09] <sebsebseb> terrylm: really the older Grub is better for most of us,  the one that 9.04 uses for example, but 10.04 nope.  In fact quite a few distros are still using Grub by default, rather than Grub 2, even Fedora which is interesting, since Fedora is more cutting edge than Ubuntu, gets most stuff first.
[06:09] <CerebroJD> When I boot up Lucid, I dont have a splash screen even when using 'quiet' and 'splash' in menu.lst, it displash for about 2 seconds after displaying "Starting up" in the top-left corner for 20 seconds, the goes to the logon screen.  Any thoughts?
[06:10] <sebsebseb> terrylm: personally I prefer 9.04 over 10.04, for various reasons, and 9.04 is still good to use untill  the end of October, when support runs out
[06:10] <terrylm> ok
[06:10] <wrekt> all this talk about 9.04 is making me want to cry
[06:10] <Sary> ahmad: ;)
[06:10] <sebsebseb> wrekt: why?
[06:10] <magicianlord> why
[06:11] <wrekt> bec i upgraded and i wish i hadnt
[06:11] <magicianlord> wrekt: upgrade to 9.10
[06:11] <terrylm> that is way i like options
[06:11] <safetynet> greezmunkey: Hey thanks for all you're help on the printer - not sure why it flaked out - but things happen - Could you possibly help with one other little issue ?
[06:11] <sebsebseb> wrekt: same here, when I upgraded the other computer to 9.10, well actsauly the hard disk got compeltly re done what was on it, and I thought, ok i'll do 9.10 then, only like three months untill 10.04, but then 10.04 realy did let me down
[06:11] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: hmm, you are getting an address on your BB that is in the same network as you company lan? That doesn't sound right.
[06:12] <bp0> can different disk use a different scheduler?
[06:12] <slinkeey> Why not greeze?
[06:12] <sebsebseb> terrylm: wrekt Newer is not always better! Yeah
[06:12] <slinkeey> greezmunkey, why not? they both use the 10.x for the internal network
[06:12] <RealEyes> how do i format the HDD and reinstall Ubuntu?
[06:12] <CerebroJD> greezmunkey: it makes sense if they use the same dhcp method with the same masking pattern
[06:12] <RealEyes> w/o touching my win7 partition? lol
[06:13] <Dr_Willis> RealEyes:  what all is on it right now?
[06:13] <sebsebseb> terrylm: ok so whats the problem?
[06:13] <sebsebseb> terrylm: exactly?
[06:13] <terrylm> Well at this point ...
[06:13] <clayg> What is a good app for ubuntu that will let me use my bluetooth gps and display where I'm at on a map?
[06:13] <RealEyes> win7 and Ubuntu
[06:13] <slinkeey> greezmunkey, not the same physical network... just the same scheme.. many private nets are 10.x.x.x/8
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> clayg:  i wa thinking Google earth/maps let you do that.. but ive never looked into it.
[06:14] <RealEyes> i got it nvm
[06:14] <terrylm> I chrooted to 10.04 from 9.04 and tried to run grub, it almost seemed to work ...
[06:14] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: yeah, I get that. Just bad luck then...
[06:14] <safetynet> greezmunkey: I need to reset my Panel I believe it's corrupt because when I run an app it does not show down in the toolbar - I know there is a shell command to reset the Panel or Toolbar but can't remember what it is - ? ?
[06:14] <terrylm> untill the end and it said it could not find a list of partitions...
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> realslix_:  if you want to reinstall ubuntu over the existing install.  You just use teh custom partitioning feature of the installer and tell it where to put / and so forth. (over the existing partitions)
[06:14] <clayg> Dr_Willis, I'll give it a shot.
[06:14] <RealEyes> BRB
[06:14] <sebsebseb> terrylm: Do you know that 10.04 uses a completly different version of Grub than what 9.04 uses?  9.04 is the old Grub,  10.04 is Grub 2
[06:15] <terrylm> so now I'm not sure if grub is working at all, half afraid to reboot ...
[06:15] <wrekt> is it crazy/stupid/extreme to reinstall 9.04 into the partition the OS is in?
[06:15] <slinkeey> greezmunkey, Yep.... I can get one machine on our network that is 192.168.x.x That is on some old subnet... The AS400 is dual ip addressed...
[06:15] <greezmunkey> !panel > safetynet
[06:15] <sebsebseb> terrylm: What boots up?  Also do you know which Grub is being used?
[06:15] <safetynet> !panel
[06:16] <terrylm> Well, by editing the root= at the grub menu I can or could boot 9.04. not sure now.
[06:16] <sebsebseb> wrekt: yeah you could re instal 9.04 with a clean install, but with support it only has untill the end of October
[06:16] <xangua> !panels | safetynet greezmunkey
[06:16] <safetynet> xangua: Thanks
[06:17] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: I don't think spoofing the network at your end will help, the vpn is terminated at both ends, and associated routing entries are in place. The routing at your corp office would not know how to get to your spoofed net, so you would not get a reply to packets even if you could get them there.
[06:18] <greezmunkey> xangua: (s) i get it!
[06:18] <Parabola> evening
[06:18] <magicianlord> yo
[06:18] <magicianlord> how are peeps liking 10.04
[06:19] <sebsebseb> terrylm: ok
[06:19] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: about the only way I can think of to get around that would involve some heavy iptables/ipmasq work, and may not be worth the effort.
[06:20] <slinkeey> ok
[06:21] <slinkeey> greezmunkey, or I can ask att if 10.x is there only internal ip's that they assign..
[06:22] <slinkeey> maybe they will also go 192.168 at request
[06:22] <slinkeey> never know.. I doubt it though..
[06:22] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: now you're on it! :) make them fix their network!
[06:22] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: I mean really, they probably sould have a guest subnet or something you can get to.
[06:22] <slinkeey> not really broke... just coincidence.. I could hit random hotspots that happen to use the 10.x internal scheme..
[06:23] <sebsebseb> terrylm: messing around with Grub is useualy not fun
[06:24] <safetynet> xagua: Thanks so much - Mean allot - My panel is look'n sweet now - you folks thats answer questions are a big plus to us newbies...
[06:25] <NanoDano> magicianlord: I like 10.04
[06:25] <NanoDano> We use it at home and professionaly
[06:25] <Theo> hey guys. im running windows thru oracle virtuabox but it doesnt recognize my usb stick. i was looking a solution on google but nothin helped me. maybe u guys have a solution thats working? churrr
[06:25] <NanoDano> Theo, is it mounted by your ubuntu?
[06:25] <safetynet> greezmunkey: Thanks a bunch and a bunch more by the way - means allot to me for the help - was pulling my hair out before!
[06:25] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: you may be on to something there. Talk with your IT manager, explain what you are up against. Maybe suggest 172.19.1.x for BB vpn terminations. I doubt that private subnet is in use much at coffee shops.
[06:25] <Theo> NanoDano: yeah it is
[06:26] <NanoDano> Theo try unmounting it first
[06:26] <ugh> Hey everybody.  Got a little problem I hope someone can help with.   My stinking touchpad just quit on me.   I can move the cursor around with it, buy I can click with either of the buttons or tap to click.  At first I could still use the right clicker, but now... not so much.   ANything you'd suggest I look at?
[06:26] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: (with a 24 bit mash)
[06:26] <greezmunkey> s/mash/mask
[06:26] <ugh> *can't click rather
[06:26] <slinkeey> yeah
[06:26] <Theo> NanoDano eject it or safly remove ;p?
[06:27] <Random832> ugh: sounds mechanical
[06:27] <greezmunkey> slinkeey: good luck!
[06:27] <greezmunkey> g'night all
[06:27] <ugh> I was afraid you'd say that. :-(
[06:27] <kschwangfelder> hello all; is this the right place to ask an installation related question?
[06:27] <Random832> is the machine still in warranty?
[06:28] <NanoDano> Theo, i just meant unmount the usb stick in ubuntu using umount
[06:28] <slinkeey> greezmunkey, thanks for the tips even though it is not 100% ubuntu.. I was just hoping the ubuntu community had tricks up their sleees :) hehehehehehehehe
[06:28] <ugh> Random: I wish.  Nope, about 4 years old.
[06:28] <slinkeey> sleeves
[06:28] <NanoDano> Theo, If ubuntu has the USB stick mounted, it will tell windows it's busy and wont let it have it probably
[06:28] <Clayg> any decent GPs/map apps for ubuntu? just tried viking and gpsdrive, both are garbage
[06:28] <Theo> NanoDano, sorry how do i unmount it?
[06:28] <Clayg> so I'm looking for suggestions that dont include those apps
[06:29] <Random832> sorry - if you don't mind the risk of completely ruining your machine, you could try taking it apart and cleaning it / finding any parts that are bent out of shape or something
[06:29] <Error404NotFound> i am looking for easy to use Finance/Budget Management application. Gnu Cash is way over my head, i am just another IT guy trying to maintain record with no finance background.
[06:29] <Random832> other than that- buy a mouse?
[06:29] <NanoDano> Theo, one sec
[06:29] <Random832> goodnight all
[06:30] <NanoDano> Theo: type   cat /etc/fstab in a console
[06:30] <ugh> Random832: I'll be heading out in the AM to pick up a mouse.  Easiest solution.
[06:30] <NanoDano> Theo: and then see if you recognize the one that is the USB stick
[06:30] <ugh> Random832: Thanks for responding.  I appreciate it a lot.
[06:31] <NanoDano> Theo: sorry I think the proper thing to do would be just type mount in your console, and it should output everything you have mounted currently
[06:32] <kschwangfelder> so I am trying to install ubuntu to dual boot with windows xp home edition. my mother board is asus k8v se Deluxe.  The only way I could get windows xp to see the hard disk for install was to have it set up as RAID.  now, however, ubuntu install cannot see the disk.  any ideas on what I can try to get this going??
[06:32] <kschwangfelder> the hard disk is sata, btw
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> You have a single hard disk set up as a raid?
[06:33] <kschwangfelder> it was the only way windows xp would see it
[06:33] <kschwangfelder> probably partially due to my lack of expertise
[06:33] <NanoDano> kschwangfelder: Windows only recognizes NTFS partitions and ubuntu usually uses ext3, so if you have 1 hard disk it should be partitioned into separate parts one for windows one for linux
[06:34] <kschwangfelder> NanoDano: right now it has two partitions; one with the xp that I installed and the other is unformatted.  how do I format it for ubuntu to see if the installer cannot see it?
[06:35] <NanoDano> kschwangfelder, it doesn't see ANY partitions? Does it at least see the one that has windows on it?
[06:36] <kschwangfelder> NanoDano: no, it does not even recognize there is a hard disk there.  it sees other things though, a usb stick, an external harddrive...
[06:38] <NanoDano> kschwangelder, I'm really not familiar with RAID or how that affects the installer. If you can boot into the LIVE mode off a CD you can try using the fdisk tool, but if you're not familiar with it either I wouldn't recommend
[06:38] <kschwangfelder> hmm, well the xp install is new, so if the only danger is ruining it, I have no problem wading into unfamiliar territory.  I am talking to you from  my laptop
[06:39] <dade> Hello, Anyone around?
[06:39] <Gimped> kschwangfelder: i suggest you explore the LiveCD and fdisk route first =)
[06:40] <kschwangfelder> Gimped: Is the LiveCD different from the normal Ubuntu 10.4 install CD or is it just an option which can be selected from the install cd?
[06:40] <dade> I'm running TS3 interfaced into MYSQL which requires libmysqlclient15off{u} to work but everytime i try to apt-get install anything else it tries to remove libmysqlclient15off{u} anyway to stop this from happening?
[06:40] <NanoDano> kcschwangfelder, should be same cd
[06:40] <Clayg> what is a good map/gps app for ubuntu?
[06:40] <Gimped> kschwangfelder: i'm not too familar with ubuntu's cd distributions
[06:41] <NanoDano> dade, not sure but try looking into apt-get options, maybe there is an option to keep existing versions instead of deleting when updating
[06:41] <kschwangfelder> NanoDano/Gimped:  I will try this and see what I can do.  Stand By...
[06:41] <NoPart> I'm running into a similar problem
[06:41] <NanoDano> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition
[06:41] <NoPart> the isntallation shows no partitions
[06:41] <NoPart> or drives
[06:42] <NoPart> but it does see my thumbstick
[06:42] <NanoDano> NoPart, is it a blank hard disk or does it have somethign onit
[06:42] <PureSine>  hi I have downloaded latest version of Virtual Box and Ubuntu and installed an ubuntu VM on my Windows 7 machine, also I have a Windows XP VM machine. the problem is ubuntu VM causes the whole system(Windows 7) to crash. I know it is related to VM because I had no such problem before installing the VM. Also I should say sometimes the system had worked for about half a day without crash but usually it causes the system to crash under 1 hour. The
[06:42] <PureSine>  cl
 ue that I have is that when I boot  ubuntu VM it gives a message "piix4-smbus 0000:00:07.0:SMBus bus address uninitialized - upgrade bios or use force_addr = 0xadrr"  . this message appears at boot time and before ubuntu logo appears. interesting thing is Windows XP VM does not show such message. Someone in VBox channel told me it is ubuntu related not VBox
[06:42] <NoPart> I removed all partitions with GParted
[06:42] <FloodBot1> PureSine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:43] <NoPart> the computer I am trying to install on has no partitions
[06:43] <NanoDano> NoPart, I had a similar problem recently, I formatted my disk but i forgot to 'activate' it or something, hold on
[06:43] <NoPart> just 1 terabyte of unallocated space
[06:45] <NoPart> NanoDano, I've never had this problem with Ubuntu before.
[06:45] <Clayg> what is a good map/gps app for ubuntu?
[06:45] <Gimped> Clayg: google maps not good?
[06:46] <Clayg> Gimped, I never could find an option using google maps for gps intergration
[06:46] <Gimped> clayg: ah i see =|
[06:46] <Clayg> Gimped, maps or earth?
[06:46] <Clayg> Gimped, have you used it yourself with gps?
[06:48] <Gimped> clayg: have you tried kismet or gpsdrive?
[06:49] <Gimped> sorry google earth =D but not sure if google has gps integration
[06:49] <Clayg> Gimped, tried gpsdrive but it never was able to "move", i was able to download a map fo murich and thats pretty much it
[06:49] <Clayg> Gimped, trying kismet now :
[06:49] <NanoDano> NoPart, when you removed all partitions did you perform a format of the drive?
[06:50] <NoPart> NanoDano, negative
[06:50] <NanoDano> NoPart, I think that was the problem I had. I had removed all partitions but it was kind of like 'dead' space, i had to do a format for it to recognize, or something =\
[06:50] <Gimped> Clayg: check your pm's plz
[06:51] <NoPart> NanoDano, what can I use to format? Does the LiveCD have something?
[06:51] <Gimped> NoPart: you can use fdisk on a LiveCD or PartitionMagic if you have that =)
[06:52] <dade> so what would cause apt-get to remove (and not upgrade) a package reguardless of what your installing?
[06:52] <NanoDano> NoPart, there should be lots of info on the net about using fdisk
[06:52] <NoPart> Thankyou very much, I will give it a whirl
[06:52] <NanoDano> dade, maybe a package got incorporated into another one, that you are installing
[06:53] <dade> this is what i have installed for Teamspeak 3 and it keeps uninstalling it https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/i386/libmysqlclient15off/5.1.30really5.0.83-0ubuntu3
[06:53] <Gimped> dade: could be a dependency issue? not sure if ubuntu has those kinds of problems =P
[06:54] <NanoDano> dade, what is it you are installing that's new?
[06:54] <dade> like
[06:54] <dade> for example
[06:55] <dade> if i go for something thats allready installed like postfix apt-get install postfix
[06:55] <dade> this is what it says
[06:55] <dade> postfix is already the newest version.
[06:55] <dade> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[06:55] <dade>   libmysqlclient15off
[06:55] <dade> Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
[06:55] <dade> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[06:55] <FloodBot1> dade: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:56] <Clayg> im trying to compile kismet but ran into a problem at the end, if anyone has time to check out my pastebin of the results http://pastebin.com/uuEvHGWV I'd appreciate it
[06:56] <dade> were you able to see my post?
[06:56] <thune3>  dade: if you don't autoremove them, they should stay just fine. no?
[06:56] <Jordan_U> NoPart: I personally doubt that formatting will help anything. The only reason I can think of that it would is if your drive has old data on it that looks like the installer to be metadata for FakeRAID. If the installer sees a drive using FakeRAID that it doesn't understand it ignores it, because writing anything to such a drive could cause you to need to rebuld the RAID array.
[06:57] <dade> how do i get apt-get to stop auto removing?
[06:57] <dade> or
[06:57] <NoPart> Jordan_U, okay, what are my options?
[06:57] <dade> how do i flag it as required?
[06:57] <Jordan_U> NoPart: I don't think that you're using FakeRAID, but the most common cause of a disk not showing up in Ubuntu's installer (when visable in other utilities on the LiveCD) is the installer incorrectly thinking it's FakeRAID.
[06:58] <NoPart> Jordan_U, is there a known fix for this problem?
[06:58] <NanoDano> dade, i didn't see anything about it being removed, i just saw a note saying you dont need it and you can remove it
[06:58] <Jordan_U> NoPart: Reboot the LiveCD and press any key during the first few seconds of booting and you'll get extra boot options. Press F6 and select "No dmraid".
[06:59] <NoPart> okay thanks!
[06:59] <Jordan_U> NoPart: You're welcome, I hope that option helps :)
[07:00] <Jordan_U> dade: Do you know what that package is? Do you want that package installed?
[07:00] <dade> http://paste.ubuntu.com/468741/
[07:00] <dade> there
[07:00] <wrekt> ok my mouse is glitching up big time. it keeps freezing up and then going really slow. its driving me crazy?
[07:00] <dade> no matter if i try to install something that allready installed or if i just try to install lets say VLC it tries to remove that package
[07:00] <Clayg> while trying to run kismet installed from repos it crashes and i see this http://pastebin.com/1tNJfTbV anyone seen this before?
[07:00] <dade> and i cannont continue without uninstalling it
[07:00] <Jordan_U> dade: That's aptitude, apt-get doesn't actually remove that type of package automatically.
[07:01] <dade> ooooo
[07:01] <[NoD]Dr`Kamron> Hello people. :)
[07:01] <dade> so use apt-get instead?
[07:01] <ramesh> how do i know if my computer overheating or not? i'm using ubuntu 10.4
[07:01] <Jordan_U> dade: That will work, but are you sure you really need that package?
[07:02] <dade> yes my Teamspeak 3 server wont connect to my mysql server without it
[07:02] <Gimped> ramesh: generally if you can fry eggs on your pc, its overheating
[07:02] <[NoD]Dr`Kamron> I'd like to use my phone as a modem, but I've tried like everything and it won't detect the phone
[07:02] <[NoD]Dr`Kamron> Can anyone help?
[07:02] <ShadowFoxBiH> what phone are you using?
[07:02] <Jordan_U> dade: Ok, then you should explicitly apt-get install it so that apt / aptitude know that you want it installed.
[07:02] <wrekt> so anyone have a lead on this glitchy mouse on 10.04?
[07:03] <ramesh> Gimped if i can fry egg it means my computer fried already.
[07:03] <dade> got it
[07:03] <Gimped> ramesh: lol you can get a system monitor prog and check that for cpu temps
[07:03] <dade> so aptitude is more of a auto thing for less involved users?
[07:03] <zitelli> Hi, I arrived now from de FISL...
[07:03] <[NoD]Dr`Kamron> I've tried all the programs and apt-get installations and everything
[07:03] <dade> versus apt-get?
[07:03] <abhijit> !sensors | ramesh
[07:03] <ramesh> Gimped any website that i can check what is the normal temp for my cpu?
[07:04] <dade> ramesh:  if your cpu is below 60C while under load you are ok
[07:04] <Gimped> ramesh: i use conky and that works great for me
[07:04] <dade> Thanks for the help guys
[07:05] <abhijit> ramesh, best web site is your laptop company's website or call center they will tell you about it. also each laptop model have its own maintainance document which you can get from company. in that all details are there
[07:05] <Jordan_U> dade: Yes, aptitude also has a pseudo GUI (ncurses) interface option and other features. Debian's official policy is to recommend aptitude, Ubuntu's general policy is to use apt-get, and in all honesty in most cases either will work just fine.
[07:05] <dade> thanks for the help :)
[07:06] <Jordan_U> dade: You're welcome :)
[07:06] <[NoD]Dr`Kamron> So can anyone help?
[07:06] <[NoD]Dr`Kamron> I'd like to use my phone as a modem, but I've tried like everything and it won't detect the phone <-
[07:07] <wrekt> does anyone have a lead on the glitchy mouse problem in 10.4? its pretty unusable as it is
[07:09] <nimbiotics_> Hello everyone, im using ubuntu 9.10, with a GeForce 9400 GT and nVidia driver version 185.8.36. I cannot keep screen resolution configuration between sessions. What can I do? TIA!
[07:10] <ramesh> my cpu temp is 60 to 62 celcius.
[07:10] <Gimped> ramesh: hm..mine is 53*C
[07:11] <NanoDano> wrekt, what kind of mouse? have you tried another?
[07:11] <Gimped> ramesh: if you're worried about your pc overheating i suggest getting a sys mon to keep track of it
[07:11] <dade> ramesh: what cpu useage are you at? is this a laptop or desktop? 60c idle is hot
[07:12] <Gimped> indeed, i'd like to fry some eggs on that one =P
[07:12] <ramesh> dade: laptop. i'm only using xchat...
[07:12] <wrekt> NanoDano, honestly i havent bec i dont have any others atm. ive NEVER had issues with this mouse ive had it for years and used it on prev versions no issues
[07:12] <dade> ramesh: have you tried blowing out the fan slots with a can of air?
[07:13] <dade> ramesh: is this by chance an HP?
[07:13] <ramesh> dade... haha.. have not try that. there is some sticky thing at the fan site.. just noticed...
[07:13] <NanoDano> wrekt, 1st I'd say try another mouse, 2 try a mouse of a different kind (USB or PS/2) or even just another usb slot?
[07:14] <dade> ramesh: reason i say so ive seen tons! and TONS of laptops overheating and its cause they have a HUGE dust bunny covering the internal heatsink
[07:14] <PSYK3D> hello everyone
[07:14] <dade> and of course that little laptop fan isnt strong enough
[07:14] <dade> hey psyk3d
[07:15] <wrekt> NanoDano, diff usb slot seems to be working better yay
[07:15] <wrekt> NanoDano, good thinking
[07:15] <wrekt> have to restart be back later
[07:15] <PSYK3D> it this the right place to ask questions when in trouble
[07:15] <NanoDano> wrekt, awesome! You know, persoanlly I ruined 1 of my usb slots by spilling water
[07:15] <dade> Psyk3d: i asked my problem here :P
[07:15] <ramesh> dade thanks. i will blow my laptop now...
[07:15] <wrekt> im gonna have to investiogate this further bec its in the back and never had an issue
[07:15] <PSYK3D> okey

[07:49] <Koterpillar> barcode, mount -a will complain and give the name of FS. Then, Fsck.
[07:50] <happyface> clayg: why don't you just put dd-wrt on a router to do that
[07:50] <Koterpillar> barcode, also, just "mount" will list mounted filesystems. You can see which one is missing.

[08:06] <kschwangfelder> NanoDano:  I have returned from booting the LiveCD to see I could create the correct partitions on the undetected hard drive.  When I boot into Ubuntu by CD, I am able to see the drive in the disk tool and make new linux partitions.  However, when I boot the Ubuntu installer, it once again does not see my hard drive
[08:07] <arpad2> hello
[08:08] <arpad2> after changing refresh rate, my screen goes black in 10.04, smb for help?
[08:13] <ykaya> Archana_, thank you very much. Already tried keytouch but I was not successful.
[08:13] <Archana_> ykaya, If no one is answering here, you may try ubuntuforums.org Good luck.
[08:13] <kschwangfelder> hi everybody.  based on some earlier advice from NanoDano, I booted the ubuntu 10.4 LiveCD to see if the disk tool could detect my SATA hard drive which the installer refuses to recognize.  the disk tool does see the hard drive and allowed me to create appropriate partitions.  however, when I run the installer, it still only sees a usb stick and external usb drive.  any thoughts on a next possible step?
[08:14] <Archana_> kschwangfelder, I too had such problem at my friends. I tried every other trick found on the sites. No use. Maybe you could try wubi... :(
[08:15] <kschwangfelder> wubi causes its own set of problems.  it would not load properly, hanging up on not being able to find a proper root directory or something
[08:16] <Flannel> kschwangfelder: Check your BIOS settings to make sure you don't have some RAID type stuff going on, also check to make sure your MoBo supports the HDD, you may need to set jumpers to force the drive down to slower speeds/protocols if that's the case
[08:16] <ykaya> Archana_, thanks a lot.
[08:16] <Archana_> kschwangfelder, Sorry. I wait with full hope that the 10.10 will have fix this problem so that i can install on my friend's computer.
[08:17] <Flannel> Archana_: I suggest you check the SATA speeds on his mobo vs the drive
[08:17] <Flannel> Archana_: Next time you get a chance, of course :)
[08:17] <kschwangfelder> Flannel: I actually already forced it to a lower speed.  it has a working windows xp install on it.
[08:17] <kschwangfelder> it's just not visible to Ubuntu installer
[08:17] <Archana_> Flannel, Thanks for replyin. =)
[08:18] <kschwangfelder> Ubuntu booted from live CD does see the drive
[08:18] <kschwangfelder> btw, not that it matters much, but the mobo is asus k8v se deluxe
[08:18] <Archana_> Flannel, But ubuntu 9.04 'sees' his partitions on the hard.. but 10.04's installer says unallocated space....
[08:18] <RealEyes> "man bash"

[09:18] <sandking> it needed some more time to connect
[09:18] <professor_G> sunk8,  does your internet say local only?
[09:19] <xibalba> hey
[09:19] <vu1kan> it was working fine before the reset
[09:19] <xibalba> anyone here good w/bind ?
[09:19] <xibalba> i'm struggling w/such a newb thing
[09:19] <professor_G> xibalba,  i had the same thing
[09:20] <xibalba> does someone mind helping me out here and taking a look
[09:20] <xibalba> http://pastebin.com/zy4uQ1uD
[09:20] <sunk8> professor_G, local only, where? I have an ethernet cable connected. I created a PPPoE connection. It connects fine and opens up just one page.... google.com Am not sure if it's picking that up from just cache...
[09:20] <xibalba> i just need it to resolve 1 domain, zcs.lethalnetworks.com, so i can install Zimbra
[09:20] <xibalba> Very Simple, I've done DNS on freebsd a bunch of times. dunno why i'm struggling so hard
[09:20] <sunk8> professor_G, I have a valid ip address, checked thro ifconfig
[09:20] <xibalba> professor_G , if you take a look i'd appreciate it
[09:21] <professor_G> sunk8, in windows does it say (hover over wireles/signal meater) say local only
[09:21] <Gryllida> how do I add user to sudoers group in bash?
[09:22] <xibalba> Gryllida , try sudoedit
[09:22] <xibalba> professor_G , i know i'm missing something simple
[09:22] <Gryllida> ?
[09:22] <suprengr> sunk8: you are describing awhat sounds like a driver problem
[09:23] <sunk8> professor_G, I am using Windows XP. So there was a Local Area Connection already... That's my ethernet cable. Created a PPPoE connection  and it works fine...
[09:23] <thune3> Gryllida: not sure of command line, need to add group "admin" to user
[09:23] <randy_> Gryllida: yeah, the admin group has 'sudo' priveleges according to the default sudo policy
[09:23] <hspaans> Gryllida: sudo usermod -a -g admin LOGINNAME
[09:23] <hspaans> sudo usermod -a -G admin LOGINNAME
[09:24] <hspaans> sorry, you need the second one
[09:24] <randy_> Gryllida: even easier, you can just add them to that group from user admin in the menus
[09:24] <professor_G> xibalba,  do you mind me pming you?
[09:24] <sunk8> suprengr, driver problem? the kernels of both Ubuntu and openSUSE are the same. I wonder what's wrong.
[09:25] <xibalba> professor_G , not at all go ahead
[09:25] <xibalba> on aim or irc ?
[09:25] <xibalba> xibalbasd on aim

[09:29] <hspaans> sunk8: most likely you have broken pMTU discovery
[09:29] <noboot> Gimped, why doesnst grub-install install itself in the MBR?
[09:30] <suprengr> professor_G: cheers mate
[09:30] <sunk8> hspaans, pMTU?
[09:30] <sunk8> hspaans, could you plz translate it into nooby english?
[09:30] <Gimped> noboot: not sure, should ask the devs that question =)
[09:31] <noboot> Gimped, ooh i picked /dev/sda  in stead of /dev/sda1 now.. and that works!
[09:31] <hspaans> sunk8: turn iptables off, drop all rules and try again
[09:31] <noboot> i wonder whats the difference
[09:32] <noboot> gonna try a reboot
[09:32] <noboot> bye
[09:32] <tr33m4n> surely you'd install grub to mbr of /dev/sda?
[09:32] <tr33m4n> oh wait
[09:32] <tr33m4n> u said that
[09:32] <Gimped> noboot: gratz =)
[09:32] <noboot> i dont know what sda or sda1 mean
[09:32] <sunk8> okay, ill be back soon. gotta reboot. same comp. ;-)
[09:32] <sunk8> hspaans, okay, ill be back soon. gotta reboot. same comp. ;-)
[09:32] <Gimped> noboot: sda = soft drive something 1
[09:32] <AVkrakkle> quick question: how do i tell my sound card to use snd-ctxfi instead of snd-hda-intel?
[09:33] <Gimped> noboot:  i think
[09:33] <hspaans> sunk8: reboot? why
[09:33] <noboot> i'll google it
[09:33] <arpad2> after refresh rate change, screen goes black in 10.04, any suggestions what to do?
[09:33] <noboot> i could use some extra knowlegde:)
[09:33] <noboot> oh, sda1 means partition 1 on sda
[09:33] <tr33m4n> :)
[09:34] <Gimped> noboot: yeap something like that =P
[09:34] <RealEyes> i cant get root access
[09:34] <RealEyes> what is the default p word?
[09:34] <tr33m4n> RealEyes, try doing sudo before your command, the default password is your password
[09:35] <tr33m4n> ie, your user password
[09:35] <tr33m4n> if your trying to log on as root from gdm, that's not gonna work
[09:35] <tr33m4n> you could enable the account, however it's not recommended
[09:36] <Cheery> hi. could you propose a small webserver that I could use simply by starting it in directory where I've got the contents I want to put up?
[09:36] <Cheery> there's no other http servers on my system
[09:37] <tFF> RealEyes, u may login as a default user then "sudo su -" to become root
[09:37] <tFF> the root's pass is the same as for the default user
[09:37] <Cheery> also, could someone FINALLY update the chromium-browser to newest version from that old version 5?
[09:38] <tr33m4n> Cheery, have a look at lighttpd, might be what you need
[09:38] <tFF> RealEyes, yeah, and u gonna do this from terminal
[09:38] <vu1kan> i've got a netgear wnr834bv2 that got reset to factory defaults, when i plug an ethernet cable into it, my ubuntu doesn't even see that i've got a viable ethernet connection...i went into network connections and set everything to automatic, and it still won't connect to the router's config; it was working fine before the reset...any suggestions as to why this is?
[09:38] <xibalba> professor_G , is that something you offer here regularly? remote linux support via ssh?
[09:38] <Wintermute_> Hi all! :)
[09:38] <Wintermute_> Small question regarding system update...
[09:38] <tr33m4n> also to update chromium I added the repositories found in Ubuntu Tweak
[09:39] <Wintermute_> What are updates that are not security updates?
[09:39] <tr33m4n> I get the daily builds
[09:39] <Cheery> Wintermute_: they are other updates
[09:39] <Cheery> Wintermute_: simple eh?
[09:39] <Cheery> Wintermute_: it ought read somewhere unless that feature is broken.
[09:39] <hspaans> Wintermute_: little bugfixes that needed to be fixed due to broken functionality or experience
[09:40] <Wintermute_> Cheery: Ahhh
[09:40] <AVkrakkle> how can i tell my soundcard what drivers to use?  every site i go to says system>preferences>sound but I'm not seeing any options for ALSA
[09:40] <Wintermute_> Cheery: Ok. But it don't change version of the package itself correct?
[09:40] <professor_G> xibalba,  no moastley by controlling thir computer (moving the mouse .etc)
[09:40] <Wintermute_> Cheery: Like, ubuntu 10.04 will use php 5.3 forever correct?
[09:41] <Cheery> Wintermute_: depends.
[09:41] <tr33m4n> Wintermute: you can downgrade to 5.2, I had to do that for a successful Drupal installation
[09:41] <Wintermute_> Cheery: on what?
[09:41] <Cheery> there's minor updates and then there's major updates
[09:41] <Cheery> major updates break backwards compatibility at least partially
[09:41] <ussa> help please how can i install messenger on ubuntu
[09:41] <RealEyes> do you guys know how to get 'sensors' on your panel?
[09:41] <Wintermute_> tr33m4n: You can run drupal now on 5.3 :P
[09:41] <Cheery> ussa: install pidgin internet client
[09:41] <tr33m4n> ussa, what sort of messenger?
[09:41] <RealEyes> when I try to add and search for it, nothing comes up
[09:41] <hspaans> ussa: start empathy
[09:41] <tr33m4n> Wintermute: true, but many plugins don't worj
[09:42] <tr33m4n> *wor
[09:42] <ussa> hotmail
[09:42] <Wintermute_> Cheery: Ok, but major upgrades are only from major version changes (like from 09.10 to 10.04)
[09:42] <hspaans> ussa: it support microsoft messanger / communicator
[09:42] <Wintermute_> correct?
[09:42] <Cheery> Wintermute_: minor updates fix little things that are just unspecced or wrong behavior.
[09:43] <livo1> hello
[09:43] <Wintermute_> Cheery: But it should not change the version of the software it self...
[09:43] <tFF> RealEyes, what kinda sesors? cpu, mem, network, disk - just add system monitor applet
[09:43] <RealEyes> cpu
[09:43] <Wintermute_> Cheery: Lets say that my app works with apache2.2
[09:43] <Cheery> Wintermute_: it does. That's really important anyway.
[09:43] <sunk8> hspaans, I'm back. No go.
[09:44] <RealEyes> tFF: thats not the right one.
[09:44] <sunk8> hspaans, firewall is not an issue.
[09:44] <tFF> RealEyes, add system monitor applet to the panel
[09:44] <Cheery> Say the user is having an old version of the software, that's going to be visible from version number if it gets updated whenever fixes arrive.
[09:44] <Wintermute_> Cheery: And then, one day... I just run a plain apt-get upgrade to apply security fixes and it change my apache to 2.3???
[09:44] <Wintermute_> Cheery: This is not the expected behaviour I guess...
[09:44] <tFF> RealEyes, and the choose sensors u want
[09:44] <Cheery> Wintermute_: the major version number ought not change without user intervention, of course.
[09:44] <tFF> RealEyes, *then
[09:45] <sunk8> By the way a really weird thing happened... I can search through the google search bar through firefox. But I installed opera, so it's not a browser issue.
[09:45] <sunk8> hspaans, By the way a really weird thing happened... I can search through the google search bar through firefox. But I installed opera, so it's not a browser issue.
[09:45] <Cheery> that's the case with python, (2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 are all different packages)
[09:45] <rumbert> In APT preferences, how can a package source such as Ubuntu release or 'security update' be preferred?
[09:45] <tFF> RealEyes, i assume u r in gnome
[09:45] <Wintermute_> Cheery: I think it should change to <same_distro_main_version_package>-ubuntu<revision> no?
[09:45] <RealEyes> yes i am
[09:46] <Wintermute_> Cheery: Ok... thanks! :) so no security update are actually functionality fixes :D
[09:46] <Wintermute_> Cheery: thanks!! :)
[09:46] <good_fellow> !
[09:46] <Cheery> Wintermute_: that's the case. Though there are minor and major version numbers.
[09:47] <Cheery> and the versioning is bit different on every program anyway.
[09:47] <Wintermute_> Cheery: I guess the minor can change, but it don't brake backward compatibility
[09:47] <Cheery> though if features change during the run of version number, that version change should be major.
[09:47] <RealEyes> what is that terminal command to update restriced packages or something?
[09:47] <Wintermute_> Cheery: Good... Thanks!
[09:48] <Algorithm_42> hi
[09:48] <Wintermute_> Cheery: See ya
[09:48] <Cheery> There's one exception though.
[09:48] <Cheery> oh. he left already.
[09:48] <arpad2> after refresh rate change, screen goes black in 10.04, any suggestions what to do?
[09:48] <Cheery> well, maybe he understands that if software update doesn't break backwards compatibility, it's discussable whether major version number change is required.
[09:49] <RealEyes> arpad2, someone just had that same problem...
[09:49] <spungo> arpad2: yeah, I suggest you leave the refresh rate as it was. *chortle*
[09:49] <thune3> sunk8: is it an mtu issue anyway? does "ping wikipedia.org" work and "ping -s 1472 wikipedia.org" not work?
[09:50] <asktoby> Just recently installed the latest Ubuntu. When I was first using it, the envelope in the tray would turn green occasionally.
[09:50] <rumbert> I think it would be something with Pin: release a=??????  What are the values for Ubuntu?  is different than debian.
[09:50] <asktoby> Presumably to let me know of new mails and broadcasts. Not any more! Any idea why?
[09:51] <X-Raimo> hello, I compiled new kernel using make bzImage modules modules_install install. But there's no initrd file. Why? And how to create it?
[09:51] <hspaans> rumbert: the backend is the same
[09:51] <tr33m4n> rumpert: release a=Lucid/Karmic etc
[09:52] <arpad2> spungo: how to do this?
[09:52] <arpad2> chortle
[09:53] <tFF> RealEyes, 1 more thing. are u using une lucid or desktop one?
[09:53] <RealEyes> how do i tell?
[09:53] <RealEyes> I just put in: sudo apt-get install sensors-applet vlc
[09:53] <tFF> RealEyes, is a ver for netbook version or generic for desktop?
[09:54] <tFF> RealEyes, typos, sorty
[09:54] <tFF> sorry )
[09:55] <tr33m4n> does anyone else find that when updating server 10.04 sometimes /usr/bin/<command> gets their priveledges removed? after an update I found apt-get without any at all! had to chmod
[09:55] <RealEyes> im on a desktop
[09:55] <RealEyes> want to read my terminal?
[09:55] <RealEyes> I can pastebin...
[09:55] <tFF> RealEyes, have u succeeded with your sensors?
[09:55] <RealEyes> No sensors found!
[09:55] <noboot> hi, i upgraded ubuntu and now it doesnt boot up. i did grub-install from live-cd and now i just get a grub prompt at reboot. What should i do?
[09:56] <hspaans> tr33m4n: create a bugreport
[09:56] <tr33m4n> noboot: did you specify the root partition for the grub-install?
[09:56] <noboot> tr33m4n, yes
[09:56] <tr33m4n> hspaans: good idea
[09:56] <tFF> RealEyes, just press right mouse on your panel and "add to panel" "system monitor" applet. that's it
[09:56] <noboot> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/dddddd  /dev/sda1
[09:56] <noboot> like that
[09:57] <noboot> it said it was successful
[09:57] <RealEyes> tFF its not working
[09:57] <rumbert> hspaans: the valid values are different.  For Debian, it would be 'stable'
[09:57] <tr33m4n> noboot: try doing it to /dev/sda rather than /dev/sda1
[09:57] <pipim> or.id
[09:57] <tFF> RealEyes, how come? what do you mean by?
[09:57] <noboot> oh sorry, i did it with /dev/sda
[09:57] <noboot> not 1
[09:57] <hspaans> rumbert: no
[09:58] <rumbert> noboot: install package mbr and put it on your MBR
[09:58] <RealEyes> tFF: read my terminal, I'll pastebin it
[09:58] <rumbert> hspaans: what do you mean?
[09:58] <noboot> how do i put it on my MBR?
[09:58] <tr33m4n> noboot: when you upgraded did you upgrade grub as well? you might be using grub-legacy
[09:59] <hspaans> rumbert: you put in a release name and stable is only an alias
[09:59] <noboot> it says grub 1.98 (thats the new one, i think) in the grub prompt i get at boot up
[09:59] <rumbert> noboot: I do not remember.  I found out from the included documentation, which would be in /usr/share/doc/mbr .
[09:59] <rumbert> hspaans: no longer.  The release name, like 'squeeze' or 'woody' is no longer valid.
[10:00] <rumbert> noboot: you put grub on the partition, right?  something needs to run from the MBR to pass off the boot to the partition
[10:00] <hspaans> rumbert: woody isn't part of the report, but squeeze is
[10:00] <noboot> rumbert, how do i do that? probably not
[10:00] <hspaans> rumbert: and squeeze just runs fine here
[10:00] <rumbert> hspaans: I don't know what you mean by report.  But both are release names.
[10:01] <txomin> hola
[10:01] <noboot> rumbert, it gives a grub prompt at boot-up.. doesnt that mean grub is installed somewhere?
[10:01] <tr33m4n> noboot: you may have to chroot into your installation from a live cd and issue update-grub
[10:01] <hspaans> rumbert: they need to be release names that are part of the repositories you're using and woody is not been part of the repo for a long time now
[10:01] <rumbert> noboot: yes, but is that grub remnant from former install and you have 2 grub installs?
[10:02] <Aruzsi_> Hi There! rdesktop without window frame is a bug or a feature? Looks like a window without window manager.
[10:02] <internet2007137> 说话
[10:02] <rumbert> noboot: i see you said it is new version
[10:03] <noboot> i just did update-grub and it repaired something
[10:03] <rumbert> noboot: what you need to do depends on whether you installed grub most recently to MBR or partition.
[10:03] <rumbert> noboot: that is best.  try it
[10:03] <internet2007137> shift
[10:03] <AVkrakkle> how can i tell my soundcard what driver to use?  i'm trying to switch my X-Fi from the default to snd_ctxfi
[10:04] <tr33m4n> noboot: i'd recommend booting live cd again, select boot from first hard disk, and issue grub-install from installation rather than live cd
[10:04] <tr33m4n> noboot: wait, grub-update even
[10:04] <noboot> how do i select boot from first hard disk?
[10:04] <swj> Hi all!
[10:04] <noboot> im in a live cd right now
[10:04] <tr33m4n> noboot: there should be an option on the menu that appears when you boot the live cd
[10:05] <tr33m4n> noboot: you'll have to restart
[10:05] <noboot> i dont think i got an option
[10:05] <noboot> i'll try it now

[10:11] <caac> tr33m4n: it says "The file is of an unknown type" when I double-click it
[10:11] <hspaans> caac: it depends on the layout. if it is an iso then file-roller can do it for you
[10:11] <AVkrakkle> livo1: I just don't know the command, and I can't find it anywhere.
[10:11] <hspaans> arpad2: don't change your refresh rate
[10:12] <swj> to zlcl: no. but try to look at the device manufacturer
[10:12] <caac> hspaans: a guy told me it was a backup, 'cause I'll need to reformat my flash drive
[10:12] <arpad2> hspaans: unfortunately I ve already done it :(
[10:12] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Official website should provide a sound card driver
[10:13] <hspaans> caac: file <filename>
[10:13] <AVkrakkle> livo1: I read that it's no longer necessary with the ALSA drivers.
[10:13] <caac> error :/
[10:14] <caac> the file has a lock icon on it though
[10:14] <AVkrakkle> livo1: The card says it's using snd-hda-intel, though.
[10:14] <caac> so I'll try to open it as root
[10:14] <hspaans> arpad2: try the xrandr command
[10:14] <tr33m4n> caac: you could use the dd command to extract its contents
[10:14] <AVkrakkle> livo1: How do I tell it to use snd-ctxfi?
[10:14] <caac> tr33m4n: how?
[10:14] <tr33m4n> caac: or mount the img, then copy the contents
[10:15] <hspaans> caac: that means it is or read-only or not readable for you
[10:15] <livo1> AVkrakkle: If not, then change the system - preferences - sound - the hardware, the following configuration file options
[10:15] <arpad2> hspaans : ok
[10:15] <caac> so I'll open it as root?
[10:15] <abhijit> hello guys whats up?
[10:15] <tr33m4n> caac: mount -a -o ro,loop image.img /media/image
[10:15] <swj> to  zlcl: also seek to i-net may already have someone like that and someone laid drv
[10:15] <caac> tr33m4n: I only got a flash drive
[10:15] <caac> which is messed up
[10:16] <livo1> AVkrakkle: system - preferences - sound - the hardware, the following configuration file options
[10:16] <froud> Hi, Ubuntu 9.10. What package(s) must I install in order to get a CUPS Development Environment so that I can make from src?
[10:16] <caac> I tried opening it as root, it still gives me the error: The file is of an unknown type
[10:16] <AVkrakkle> livo1: I'm looking at the Hardware tab right now.  The only option is "Profile."
[10:17] <tr33m4n> froud: sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename>
[10:17] <hspaans> caac: what does file <filename> say when you run it as root?
[10:18] <caac> hspaans: does it require a sudo?
[10:18] <livo1> AVkrakkle: 你的系统版本是什么？
[10:18] <ertu> i know this is kind of irrelevant with ubuntu but..  I was giving xfce a try. While I was browsing through themes it crashed and now I can't log into xfce. Any ideas?
[10:18] <internet2007137> server
[10:19] <caac> hspaans: dump.img: data
[10:19] <caac> oCean_: hey!!
[10:19] <oCean_> caac: hi
[10:19] <caac> oCean_: after 12h, it finally finished creating the dump.img :D
[10:19] <froud> tr33m4n: thx
[10:19] <hspaans> caac: how did you create it?
[10:19] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Your system version?
[10:19] <tr33m4n> froud: no worries :)
[10:19] <AVkrakkle> livo1: You mean like.... OS version?
[10:20] <caac> hspaans: a dd command, can't remember, I'll ask
[10:20] <livo1> AVkrakkle: yes
[10:20] <caac> oCean_: how can I retrieve the data from the file?
[10:20] <AVkrakkle> livo1: 10.04
[10:20] <AVkrakkle> livo1: Lol, what was with the Chinese?
[10:20] <oCean_> caac: wow. That's a looong time. However, copying the image to another image should be lots quicker
[10:20] <oCean_> caac: well, there is the challenge :)
[10:21] <caac> English please
[10:21] <oCean_> caac: the problem is, that the image file is not really a blockdevice, so it won't play nice with partitions
[10:21] <abhijit> ertu, try in #xubuntu
[10:21] <livo1> AVkrakkle: I am also, but I have just told you the options
[10:22] <ertu> abhijit, alright thanks
[10:22] <AVkrakkle> livo1: Hmm... I keep reading the same thing, but I don't see anything on that tab but Profile.
[10:22] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Oh, I am Chinese, and English is not good, where you can be certain of the exercises.
[10:22] <oCean_> caac: the dump is merely a backup, just in case. If we can come up with a solution, you would be able to try that on the real device, but maybe someone can come up with anything you could try on the image file (I haven't yet)
[10:23] <AVkrakkle> livo1: Ah.  Cool.
[10:23] <caac> oh, so the dump can be used after I reformatted my flash drive?
[10:23] <oCean_> caac: anyway, you could try a 'mount -o loop /path/to/image.img /mnt' and see if any errors show up
[10:23] <livo1> AVkrakkle: thx
[10:23] <llutz> caac: thats an image of a raw-drive? use losetup with offset option to mount it/access data
[10:24] <lukas_xx> Hi all, I have a problem with install nvidia drivers, especially with a package nvidia-settings. There is Depends: screen-resolution-extra (<= 0.11). In repository I have only screen-resolution-extra 0.13. Do you know a solution how can I install nvidia-settings. Thanks a lot for your help.
[10:24] <caac> oCean_ and llutz, don't confuse me lol
[10:24] <caac> what should I do?
[10:24] <oCean_> llutz: any ideas? the original device seemed to have lost its partitiontable
[10:24] <oCean_> caac: try the mount command first? No harm in that
[10:25] <caac> ok
[10:25] <ski_> Also it depend have you make dd of ex. /dev/sda or /dev/sda1
[10:25] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Your sound card may not be supported. Ubuntu's support for some hardware is not very good. Especially in the many factory and did not develop the appropriate driver under linux. What you are to use sound recording?
[10:26] <caac> oCean_: mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[10:26] <AVkrakkle> livo1: I'm using a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio.
[10:26] <oCean_> caac: try adding -t vfat ?
[10:26] <llutz> oCean_: i havent read all. its an image of a drive which lost partition-table and he wants to restore that table? dd if=file.img of=/dev/sdX count=1
[10:26] <AVkrakkle> livo1: I read that it is now supported with ALSA.
[10:27] <llutz> caac: http://tinyurl.com/rawimage
[10:27] <Cheery> ARGHL
[10:27] <AVkrakkle> livo1: But it wants to use the HDA Intel drivers for some reason.  I don't know how to tell it to use ALSA.
[10:27] <hspaans> caac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[10:27] <Cheery> I look for a small httpd I could run from command line to test a small static web-app
[10:28] <oCean_> llutz: the usbdrive had apparently lost its partitiontable. Just to make sure he dd the device to an image on disk, that way creating a backup on disk. Partitiontable is still not there
[10:28] <ski_> if dd has been done like dd if=/dev/sdX ... there is also partition table on dump.
[10:28] <Cheery> lovelyfully all apps I found just are horrible >:Ö
[10:28] <caac> llutz: I'll do "dd if=dump.img of=/dev/sdb count=1"
[10:28] <oCean_> caac: I don't see how that would restore the partition table
[10:28] <llutz> caac: stop, i misread your problem
[10:28] <hspaans> caac: see the page as partition tables can be recovered (read guessed)
[10:28] <caac> oh ok
[10:28] <ravibn> Hi! I am unable to print on Karmic 9.10 The printer setup seems to be alright
[10:28] <oCean_> caac: you re-tried the mount with -t vfat ?
[10:29] <caac> add - t vfat to the end, k
[10:29] <abhijit> !printer | ravibn
[10:29] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Your sound card and the same as my. But I is USB interface, can be used directly. The default is ALSA.
[10:29] <caac> oCean_: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
[10:29] <caac>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[10:29] <caac>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[10:29] <caac>        dmesg | tail  or so
[10:29] <Benkinooby> hmmm, i am trying to get automount for usb's running on my system (ubuntu 10.04, fluxbox gui), but on the ubuntuwebsite i didn't see any usefull information and other forums are far outdated. what processes are required to run to get a successful auto mount? when i plug in a pendrive, it get a window telling me "unable to mount [pendrivename]. not authorized". so it lloks like automount is up and running, but my permissions are f**** up. where can i
[10:29] <FloodBot1> caac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:29] <Benkinooby> start to search for the problem?
[10:29] <caac> oh dear, sorry
[10:30] <AVkrakkle> livo1:  Hmm... I don't know what to do, then.  It's not using the ALSA drivers.
[10:30] <ravibn> abhijit : all the setup seems to be ok. When I print from any doc it does create a job and the printer head also moves but no characters are printed
[10:30] <llutz> caac: try using "testdisk" to recover the partitions
[10:30] <abhijit> ravibn, dunno
[10:30] <caac> llutz: tried that, analyze and deeper analyze gave me shit
[10:30] <livo1> AVkrakkle: You can try to post on the forum. I found that people who use linux very enthusiastic.
[10:31] <Jibadeeha> is it possible to install ubuntu to an usb memory stick so i can use it on various laptops - sort of like a portable installation
[10:31] <arpad2> !x
[10:31] <oCean_> caac: llutz might have a good point there. You can install "testdisk" from repository
[10:31] <AVkrakkle> livo1:  Cool.  I'll try that.  Thank you.
[10:31] <ravibn> this is a very strange printer problem I am facing with this printer HP deskjet f300
[10:31] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Maybe try other sound card drivers to support the sound card can be used.
[10:31] <caac> it's installed
[10:32] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Because a lot of hardware drivers in linux under essentially the same way. The sound card I can use many types of driving.
[10:33] <AVkrakkle> livo1: I noticed.  I just wish I knew how to do something as basic as pick which one it uses.
[10:34] <llutz> caac: you can try "gpart" too for partition-recovery
[10:34] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Synaptic Software Manager.
[10:34] <ravibn> I have a strange help with my printer HP deskjet F300 any help is appreciated
[10:34] <caac> gparted?
[10:34] <slidinghorn> !ask | ravibn - :)
[10:34] <llutz> caac: gpart
[10:34] <tr33m4n> ravibn: what's the problem?
[10:34] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Flexible use of search function.
[10:34] <caac> kk, installing
[10:35] <AVkrakkle> livo1: Hmmm.... Nice!
[10:35] <caac> installed
[10:35] <ravibn> tr334n : I have the printer setup alright when I print from any document it creates a print Q job
[10:35] <oCean_> caac: as for the testdisk part, from the manualpage is seems to work with imagefiles too. llutz might correct me here, but I think a "testdisk /path/to/image.img" should get things started
[10:35] <ravibn> tr334n : also it prints on the printer
[10:36] <ravibn> tr334n : that is it moves the printer head and paper but no characters are printed
[10:36] <llutz> oCean_: this kind of recovery always should be done from images, never from real devices
[10:36] <caac> so I'll do oCean_'s command
[10:36] <ravibn> tr334n : only a blank sheet is ejected
[10:36] <oCean_> llutz: understood
[10:37] <ravibn> tr33m4n : so what do you think abt this problem ?
[10:37] <tr33m4n> ravibn: try printing an ubuntu test page from the printer manager
[10:37] <ak-48> hi all :D
[10:37] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Oil
[10:37] <tr33m4n> ravibn: if that works then it's not your printer
[10:37] <AVkrakkle> livo1: What's that?
[10:38] <tr33m4n> ravibn: the printers not your problem that is
[10:38] <caac> oCean_:
[10:38] <caac> Proceed or sudo?
[10:38] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Refueling........
[10:38] <ravibn> tr33m4n :  where is this printer manager
[10:38] <AVkrakkle> livo1: Refueling with what?
[10:38] <oCean_> caac: don't think sudo is needed, if so, you'll get an error message soon enough
[10:39] <PeterNL> Hi, my wifi connection sometimes disconnects, and I can't reconnect unil I reboot. Atheros AR928X PCIe adapter (ath9k) on 9.10 32bit
[10:39] <oCean_> caac: if the imagefile is owned by your user, that is
[10:39] <ravibn> tr33m4n : ????
[10:39] <caac> well it says "Note: Some disks won't appear unless you are root user."
[10:39] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Buttoned your sound card.
[10:39] <tr33m4n> ravibn: currently using the dreaded XP... at a guess I'd say System>Preferences? or maybe Administration
[10:39] <caac> it's root
[10:39] <caac> so I'll do sudo
[10:39] <AVkrakkle> livo1: What does that mean?
[10:39] <PeterNL> ravibn: system>administration>printing
[10:39] <tr33m4n> PeterNL: thanks :p
[10:40] <caac> gonna disconnect, brb
[10:40] <ravibn> tr33m4n : that is only printer configuration
[10:40] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Ha  ha ha, that is, you need to find the driver as soon as possible so that  your sound card to work together, so that your efforts mean.
[10:40] <AVkrakkle> livo1: Oh, I see.
[10:41] <PeterNL> Hi, my wifi connection sometimes disconnects, and I can't reconnect unil I reboot. I do have this problem with any network. Atheros AR928X PCIe adapter (ath9k) on 9.10 32bit
[10:41] <ravibn> tr33m4n : I used win XP to print on the same printer and it does the job so there is no problem with the printer at all
[10:41] <tr33m4n> ravibn: there should be an option to print a test page in the printer preferences (sorry, I'm currently using XP, therefore don't have my ubuntu install to reference)
[10:41] <livo1> AVkrakkle: Chinese and English speech patterns of difference.
[10:41] <erUSUL> PeterNL: enything in dmesg when it disconnects ?
[10:41] <tr33m4n> ravibn: oh ok
[10:41] <AVkrakkle> livo1: Ha ha, I understand.  Your English is very good, though.
[10:41] <tr33m4n> ravibn: what exactly are you trying to print?
[10:42] <PeterNL> Maybe... I'll try to look in older syslogs if I can find something
[10:42] <ravibn> tr33m4n : any document you take and print it just ejects a blank page after moving the printer head
[10:42] <erUSUL> PeterNL: also install this package ( newer drivers ) linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic
[10:43] <PeterNL> erUSUL: I'll try that
[10:43] <tr33m4n> ravibn: try deleting the printer from the print manager, and add it again
[10:44] <caac1> back
[10:45] <caac1> oCean_: partition table > intel?
[10:45] <ravibn> tr33m4n : I hv given the print the test page let me see what comes out
[10:47] <ravibn> tr33m4n : in the printer Q it displays as processing
[10:49] <caac> oCean_: you there?
[10:51] <ravibn> tr33m4n : it completed the printing job but a blank paper
[10:52] <caac> oCean_: nvm, I chose Intel, I'll do analyze now
[10:54] <oCean_> caac: back. But i have no experience in using testdisk.. I just saw some examples, seems to provide possibility to analyse?
[10:54] <caac> analyzing atm oCean_
[10:54] <caac> seems to work
[10:54] <caac> I'll continue
[10:54] <sawsereqwa>  hi all, i'm about to install some form of Linux on a new laptop, I've never used 64bit Linux and i'm now wondering whether it's time to switch.  Any thoughts on hardware/drivers with 32 vs 64. any other aspects I should consider ?   It's a W510 Thinkpad with an i7 CPU
[10:55] <caac> or wait, should I do "load backup"?
[10:55] <om26er> sawsereqwa, +1 for 64bit
[10:55] <oCean_> caac: really don't know. Would that be a backup of the partitiontable? could be
[10:55] <abhijit> !64 | sawsereqwa
[10:55] <caac> idk ><
[10:55] <caac> llutz: you there?
[10:56] <sawsereqwa> ye i know they're supported, but are the repos the same, are the drivers as good etc..
[10:56] <iceroot> sawsereqwa: 64bit working fine now
[10:56] <sawsereqwa> i'll probably be putting xubuntu
[10:56] <ravibn> sawsereqwa : Hi! none of the Ubuntu disto worked on my laptop
[10:56] <Tomashe> wondering .. there is a way to install gui on my ubuntu server 10.4?
[10:56] <abhijit> sawsereqwa, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit
[10:56] <iceroot> sawsereqwa: repos are the same (adrress) but its using amd64/all instead of i386/all
[10:56] <Tomashe> if yes .. how
[10:56] <PeterNL> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/cvkKeiF8
[10:56] <iceroot> Tomashe: sure
[10:56] <abhijit> Tomashe, sudo apt-get install ubuntu
[10:56] <sawsereqwa> abhijit, thanks
[10:56] <HarryS> Which way is the "cleanest" way to upgrade Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04? It's on a customer's remote box, and I wish to upgrade it via ssh, but I also wish to minimise any potential problems that I would need to drive over and fix. I would also prefer for the user to not notice any changes after the upgrade if possible.
[10:56] <iceroot> Tomashe: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:57] <abhijit> Tomashe, sudo apt-get install ubuntu -desktop
[10:57] <oCean_> caac: did it display any partition layout yet?
[10:57] <ravibn> sawsereqwa : on a core i7 cpu u need a kernel with i686 kernel so none of the Ubuntu downloads that are available currently work with core i7
[10:57] <caac> dunno oCean_ ><, I'm a newbie
[10:57] <iceroot> HarryS: the normal upgrade,way but remeber this
[10:57] <iceroot> !controls | HarryS
[10:57] <ravibn> sawsereqwa : this is my first hand experience
[10:57] <caac> I'll pm
[10:57] <Tomashe> -desktop is unknown somehting like that
[10:58] <sawsereqwa> iceroot, i mean does it take longer to package 64bit programs/is it harder. should i expect the same programs available as easily.  will it be harder for me to compile stuff that isn't in the repos ?  say I need libxyz
[10:58] <abhijit> Tomashe, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:58] <iceroot> sawsereqwa: its the same
[10:58] <abhijit> Tomashe, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for kde
[10:58] <HarryS> iceroot: "normal upgrade"? I thought there are many different ways.
[10:59] <iceroot> HarryS: do-release-upgrade
[10:59] <iceroot> !upgrade | HarryS
[10:59] <iceroot> HarryS: of course in a screen-session
[10:59] <HarryS> all right cool, thanks
[11:00] <iceroot> Tomashe: but why need a gui on the server-edition? why not using the normal ubuntu-installation?
[11:01] <iceroot> but that brings an interesting question, is ubuntu-desktop on 10.04 lts supported 5 years or 3 years?
[11:02] <iceroot> server-edition
[11:02] <psycho_oreos> I think all lts are supported for 5 years
[11:02] <psycho_oreos> !lts
[11:02] <psycho_oreos> partially correct there I am
[11:02] <iceroot> psycho_oreos: but server and desktop are using the same repos
[11:03] <psycho_oreos> iceroot, doesn't matter, its up to the policy makers, so servers are supported for 5 years on lts
[11:03] <Slowmove> is there any programs for playing bluray discs on linux yet?
[11:03] <iceroot> psycho_oreos: but server comes without ubuntu-desktop
[11:04] <iceroot> Slowmove: no (not drm protected ones, which are all you can  buy)
[11:04] <psycho_oreos> iceroot, you can always install the desktop later, just don't expect to gain 5 years worth of support using desktop packages with server backends
[11:04] <sawsereqwa> iceroot, thanks, i'll go ahead with 64 then
[11:04] <vak> hi all
[11:05] <iceroot> psycho_oreos: i know,  but i think you get the queestion wrong/cant answer the question
[11:05] <abhijit> sawsereqwa, i m using 64 bit lucid
[11:05] <Slowmove> iceroot - is there any development in that area. Any projects aiming for playing those or is the DRM to hard to fix?
[11:05] <HarryS> Is the Ubuntu team considering switching the button sides in the next release, how it was prior to 10.04? I understand it's an easy config change, but why?
[11:05] <iceroot> Slowmove: there are projects atm there is a project for normmal blu-ray
[11:05] <psycho_oreos> iceroot, then I don't understand what is your question. Yes server does not come with desktop as standard is only because its meant to be for computers to be dedicated and usually headless
[11:06] <thyri0n> i almost got used to the buttons on the left side
[11:06] <thyri0n> ;)
[11:06] <slidinghorn> HarryS, they have plans to keep them in their current spot (on the left) as they want to put "new stuff" in the right corner...not sure what though
[11:06] <HarryS> Q_Q That's crappy in my opinion.
[11:06] <mitiora> ./msg NickServ identify meteor
[11:06] <thyri0n> was quite a nice idea, I like it
[11:06] <MatBoy> are there still issues with flash and so on on 64bits versions ?
[11:06] <iceroot> psycho_oreos: the question is, what packages have 5 years support in lts, only the default packages which comes with the installation or all? if all, why desktop edition has only 3 years if they are using the same repos
[11:06]  * MatBoy installed 32bit on his 64 bit lappy :S
[11:06] <thyri0n> makes it bit more distinctive
[11:06] <abhijit> !identify | mitiora
[11:07] <iceroot> MatBoy: there is no amd64 flash anymore
[11:07] <thyri0n> hi slidinghorn by the way :)
[11:07] <WaltzingAlong> iceroot: packages for lucid
[11:07] <MatBoy> iceroot: that sucks ?
[11:07] <slidinghorn> hey thyri0n
[11:07] <psycho_oreos> iceroot, whatever packages native to server, so whatever that came on server as standard will most likely have 5 years support
[11:07] <iceroot> psycho_oreos: so no ubuntu-desktop
[11:07] <HarryS> I think it looks stupid, users might click the X while chosing the file menu, and it also discourages Windows users to use Ubuntu now (most people don't want huge change)
[11:07] <thyri0n> got back to Ubuntu 10.04 after some serious distro hopping
[11:07] <abhijit> MatBoy, switch to 64 bit
[11:07] <MatBoy> abhijit: yeah I need to, my laptop is slow of you ask me
[11:08] <MatBoy> with 32 bits
[11:08] <psycho_oreos> iceroot, yes because ubuntu-desktop requires xorg and other things and that isn't standard part of server release
[11:08] <thyri0n> HarryS: from a usability point of view it's possibly stupid
[11:08] <abhijit> MatBoy, hmm
[11:08] <thyri0n> mac users will like it though
[11:08] <thyri0n> :D
[11:08] <garry> how to install gnome shell in ubnntu 10.04
[11:08] <iceroot> psycho_oreos: but what about packages which dont have a gui and does not come by default (e.g. vim)
[11:08] <aeon-ltd> MatBoy: what spec is your laptop anyway?
[11:08] <psycho_oreos> iceroot, they most likely fall under desktop but I wouldn't know
[11:08] <aeon-ltd> garry: you mean gnome-terminal, just go to synaptics or use apt
[11:09] <MatBoy> aeon-ltd: lenovo t61 with a T7100 and 2GB
[11:09] <aeon-ltd> MatBoy: clock speed?
[11:09] <HarryS> Who cares about Mac users? The majority of computer users (and those switching to Ubuntu) use(d) Windows.
[11:09] <abhijit> mitiora if that was your password then chage it immidiatly
[11:09] <MatBoy> aeon-ltd: 2x 1,8Ghz
[11:09] <thyri0n> HarryS: absolutely right there
[11:09] <aeon-ltd> HarryS: yeah true, market share for macs are low, i could probably see iOS users take over full OSX users ina bout 5 years
[11:09] <ikonia> MatBoy: that laptop will have no issues with flash
[11:09] <Tomashe> after i installed the gui how do i witch to it? i user putty to remove control the server
[11:10] <ikonia> MatBoy: if you install the flashplugin-nonfree package from the package manager you will get flash
[11:10] <abhijit> Tomashe, it will automatically login to gui
[11:10] <MatBoy> ikonia: no, but it's slow overal... I mean... I think I need 64bits for a more stable system... as I have on my other systems too
[11:10] <ikonia> MatBoy: you think wrong
[11:10] <ikonia> MatBoy: you won't notice any visual difference in general usage between 32/64bit
[11:10] <MatBoy> ikonia: 32bits on 64bits HW is not always stable and fast
[11:10] <ikonia> MatBoy: yes it is
[11:10] <iceroot> was there a develop-channel on freenode for ubuntu?
[11:11] <MatBoy> iceroot: ubuntu+1
[11:11] <Tomashe> it's not
[11:11] <ikonia> MatBoy: the only time it's a problem is if you exceed 4GB of ram, and use the PAE kernel
[11:11] <iceroot> MatBoy: that is beta-channel
[11:11] <ikonia> irk: #ubuntu-devel
[11:11] <MatBoy> oh indeed :)
[11:11] <ikonia> oops
[11:11] <iceroot> ikonia: thx
[11:11] <ikonia> iceroot: #ubuntu-devel
[11:11] <aeon-ltd> MatBoy: full 64bits performance will not actually be achieved until a few years, when there is a coding overhaul.
[11:11] <aeon-ltd> MatBoy: the problem most likely lies in the software your using
[11:11] <aeon-ltd> *not the OS, yes i know its software aswell
[11:12] <MatBoy> aeon-ltd: yeah true, but I run it on my desktop for a long time and it's more stable I get the feeling
[11:12] <ikonia> MatBoy: are you experiencing visual slow performance, or processing slow performance
[11:12] <MatBoy> and why should I go to 64 bits anyway than, if mem is the only issue
[11:12] <ikonia> MatBoy: don't got to 64bit then
[11:12] <vak> Ubuntu was installed as guest OS un VMWare running under Mac OS X. Now I try to play the this Ubuntu-guest image under VMWare that runs also in Ubuntu and... no networking :( I hope I should just change some things in my Ubuntu-guest OS?
[11:12] <MatBoy> ikonia: slow performance, ok my disk is encrypted but even than... a lot of CPU usage for nothing and so on
[11:13] <ikonia> MatBoy: is performance visually slow, or cpu/processing slow
[11:13] <aeon-ltd> MatBoy: my advice, as ubuntu grows stay away from stock configs, e.g. gnome + compiz unless your gpu can handle it
[11:13] <PeterNL> MatBoy: what process is using the cpu?
[11:13] <NeverGone> hello
[11:13] <caac> anyone familiar with TestDisk?
[11:13] <iceroot> !anyone | caac
[11:13] <MatBoy> ikonia: both
[11:13] <caac> dude I asked my question
[11:13] <ikonia> MatBoy: ok, visually slow is a good chance xorg is miss-configured, that's a common issue,
[11:13] <MatBoy> aeon-ltd: even compiz runs smooth on my eeepc :)
[11:14] <ikonia> MatBoy: processing slow, lets look at what's hogging th eresource
[11:14] <iceroot> caac: maybe but we dont scroll the channel to see if someone asked a real question
[11:14] <ikonia> MatBoy: yes, but that may have a supported/correctly configured card
[11:14] <PeterNL> (I don't have problems with gnome+compiz. I like it and it's fast. 2*2,1 GHz + 4Gram + HD4570 @ 9.10 32bit pae)
[11:14] <caac> wtf?
[11:14] <garry> how to install gnome shell
[11:14] <tukadafoonday> Hey people, i am new to linux, I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and when it was installing the update my computer locked up, anywho, now it hangs on the bootup and says the following (Process:407) Glib-warning**getpwuid_r() failed due to unknown user id (0) any help would be great - thanks in advanced
[11:14] <ikonia> why are you all referencing your system spec to compiz ?
[11:14] <aeon-ltd> MatBoy: i wouldn't run compiz unless it was useful in some way
[11:14] <ikonia> MatBoy: what video card is in the problem machine ?
[11:14] <MatBoy> PeterNL: depends on, I was bittorenting, and what version I use... it defuncts and cannot be killed using the pid, and that is with more programs... I have the idea that encryption is not that fast but people say you should not notice it
[11:15] <Tomashe> hmm looks like i need vnc
[11:15] <Tomashe> anyone could help me with that
[11:15] <Tomashe> ?
[11:15] <MatBoy> aeon-ltd: I use it a lot
[11:15] <garry> gnome shell on ubuntu how can i install it
[11:15] <ikonia> garry: search for the package in the ubuntu repos
[11:15] <aeon-ltd> garry: you mean gnome-terminal, just go to synaptics or use apt
[11:15] <ikonia> garry: then mark it for install
[11:15] <ikonia> gnome shell is a gnome 3 feature
[11:15] <PeterNL> torrents *can* use a lot of cpu. Is that all?
[11:16] <MatBoy> ikonia: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
[11:16] <ikonia> MatBoy: ok, so that should be a supported but low powered device
[11:16] <aeon-ltd> PeterNL: torrents genreally hover over aroun 2-4% of cpu
[11:16] <MatBoy> PeterNL: but 100% all the time ?
[11:16] <garry> where i search the in ubuntu repos
[11:16] <ikonia> MatBoy: you need to make sure your xorg ocnfig is using the "intel" driver
[11:16] <ikonia> garry: gnome 3 is not released yet
[11:16] <caac> so.. anyone familiar with testdisk?
[11:16] <garry> and other gnome shell can i download
[11:17] <tukadafoonday> I don't mean to be pushy, but can anyone help with my problem?
[11:17] <PeterNL> On my P3 600MHZ I have had over 90% when calculating the hashes of a few gigabytes of torrent. I don't know what that would be on a modern cpu...
[11:17] <Tomashe> guys how do i install a vnc client ?
[11:17] <MatBoy> he damn, is xorg.conf not used anymore... ?
[11:17] <MatBoy> this was changed I thought
[11:17] <ikonia> Tomashe: there are plenty in the ubuntu repos, open the pacakge manager and search
[11:17] <garry> ikonia i need to install any version of gnome shell
[11:17] <aeon-ltd> PeterNL: what client?
[11:17] <PeterNL> MatBoy: depends on what drivers you use
[11:17] <ikonia> garry: it's not available until gnome-3
[11:17] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: get a console and type sudo aptitude install vlc
[11:17] <Tomashe> server sorry
[11:18] <PeterNL> aeon-ltd: transmission (headless)
[11:18] <MatBoy> PeterNL: just a default 10.04 install
[11:18] <ikonia> MatBoy: xorg is used if you hardcode it, if there are parameters (file empty) that are empty, gnome trys to work them out
[11:18] <aeon-ltd> PeterNL: but was it gui?
[11:18] <ikonia> MatBoy: so it's dynamic unless you use xorg.conf to hard code your options
[11:18] <Tomashe> pl dpw
[11:18] <PeterNL> MatBoy: Oh, you have intel grapics, so you don't use xorg.conf anymore
[11:18] <MatBoy> ikonia: I always did it like that :) xorg.conf rules :D
[11:18] <Tomashe> Benkinooby: whats now
[11:19] <ikonia> MatBoy: ok, so hardcode the intel driver and see if that makes a positive differnce
[11:19] <tukadafoonday> Hey people, i am new to linux, I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and when it was installing the update my computer locked up, anywho, now it hangs on the bootup and says the following (Process:407) Glib-warning**getpwuid_r() failed due to unknown user id (0) any help would be great - thanks in advanced
[11:19] <PeterNL> MatBoy: the closed ATi and nVidia drivers still use xorg.conf...
[11:19] <MatBoy> PeterNL: ah, mhh... I mostly have 2x Nvidia in my PC for my multiple monitors :)
[11:19] <magicianlord> yo
[11:19] <ikonia> MatBoy: some intel cards default to the i810 driver which doesn't work as well as the intel
[11:19] <MatBoy> yeah but ATI is a big issue on Linux, never like(d) it
[11:19] <garry> ikonia so cann't install it
[11:19] <ikonia> garry: no, gnome 3 is not released yet
[11:19] <MatBoy> ah nice, someon is in here as root :D
[11:19] <MatBoy> *someone
[11:19] <PeterNL> MatBoy: it actually works as good as on windows (still crappy, but kinda ok)
[11:20] <MatBoy> PeterNL: yes, but we are in Ubuntu here ;)
[11:20] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: doesn't work for server?
[11:20] <ikonia> MatBoy: it's just an ident, doesn't mean he's using root
[11:20] <PeterNL> rule 1: never update fglrx unless you have to
[11:20] <MatBoy> ikonia: moslty it is
[11:20] <MatBoy> *mostly
[11:20] <hspaans> MatBoy: please stop spreading fud
[11:20] <Tomashe> after i installed it
[11:20] <Tomashe> whats now
[11:20] <xibalba> anyone here good w/postfix ?
[11:20] <Tomashe> how do i connect to it
[11:20] <tukadafoonday> I guess no-one knows how to help me?
[11:20] <xibalba> i'[m trying to do a simple smtp forward server
[11:20] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: argh! sorry
[11:20] <quiescens> technically, its not even an ident response
[11:20] <Benkinooby> i read vlc and not vnc
[11:20] <Benkinooby> sorry
[11:20] <Misterio> MatBoy: I would use NVidia, if I were you
[11:20] <quiescens> because it has the ~
[11:20] <MatBoy> hspaans: people login from mailservers as root to IRC to get help... so... hehe I see it a lot :)
[11:20] <xibalba> i have a transport map with  the following
[11:20] <garry> kk thanks ikonia
[11:21] <Tomashe> :/
[11:21] <xibalba> lethalnetworks.com      smtp:reza.homeunix.net:2500
[11:21] <Benkinooby> vlc is for playing video -.- ...
[11:21] <xibalba> but my maillog file keeps saying this
[11:21] <hspaans> MatBoy: I mean about ATI
[11:21] <Tomashe> hehe
[11:21] <xibalba> Jul 25 03:20:02 lethalnetworks postfix/smtp[48660]: AEFC14501B: to=<reza@lethalnetworks.om>, relay=none, delay=18, delays=17/0/1.2/0, dsn=5.4.4, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=lethalnetworks.om type=A: Host not found)
[11:21] <MatBoy> Misterio: yes I have them alsways in my PC... but this... it's a laptop :)
[11:21] <Tomashe> ok
[11:21] <xibalba> can you guys tell me if reza.homeunix.net resolves
[11:21] <xibalba> for you ?
[11:21] <Tomashe> how do i install vnc
[11:21] <garry> can u tell me how to install themes in ubuntu 10.04
[11:21] <Benkinooby> ah, ok...for vnc there are many...
[11:21] <xibalba> anybody?
[11:21] <FloodBot1> xibalba: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:21] <ikonia> !themes | garry
[11:21] <garry> ikonia: can u tell me how to install themes in ubuntu 10.04
[11:21] <vistakiller> two months official release of Lucid now and plymouth is still broken
[11:21] <MatBoy> hspaans: it sucks, sorry, no other experience by myself and with people around me... on windows it seems ok
[11:21] <ikonia> Tomashe: open the package manager, search for vnc then hit "install" on the packages you want
[11:21] <Tomashe> i'm using putty
[11:22] <Tomashe> i have no desktop
[11:22] <vistakiller> i see today this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAIznHhNKPk
[11:22] <aeon-ltd> garry: just download them put them in .themes or /usr/share/themes
[11:22] <Misterio> xibalba: If you can resolve evertone can; use in terminal "host reza.homeunix.net"
[11:22] <Tomashe> this is why i need to install vnc
[11:22] <quiescens> xibalba: its saying there's an error trying to resolve lethnetworks.om
[11:22] <MatBoy> Tomashe: you have no dekstop and use putty ?
[11:22] <Tomashe> so i could seee the desktop
[11:22] <MatBoy> *desktop
[11:22] <llutz> xibalba: <reza@lethalnetworks.om>  <- typo in address? om/com
[11:22] <quiescens> xibalba: which makes sense because i don't think there is a .om
[11:22] <vistakiller> the problem is that i have the same netbook and plymouth is completly broken there
[11:22] <abhijit> xibalba, connection error
[11:22] <Tomashe> i have desktop i just cannt see it putty is just see terminal no?
[11:22] <PeterNL> xibalba: reza.homeunix.net (70.181.251.79)
[11:22] <aeon-ltd> PeterNL: are you running transmission is a gui environment?
[11:22] <hspaans> MatBoy: the FOSS-driver just do their work and for a long long time
[11:22] <vistakiller> and to my dekstop machine too
[11:22] <PeterNL> PeterNL: I run transmission on my server. I use the web interface
[11:23] <aeon-ltd> PeterNL: but is it running in X on the server?
[11:23] <garry> ikonia :what is eyecandy
[11:23] <PeterNL> aeon-ltd: I run transmission on my server. I use the web interface
[11:23] <vistakiller> why you dont fix two months now the plymouht problems? We have report these problems two months before the official release but nothing happens :(
[11:23] <ikonia> garry: read the link
[11:23] <ikonia> vistakiller: why are you ranting in here
[11:23] <hspaans> MatBoy: the closed source crap from both ati and nvidia are both below any standard
[11:23] <k00giez> wazzzzzzuuuuupppppppppppppppppppppp
[11:23] <Benkinooby> maybe you give x11vnc a try
[11:23] <PeterNL> aeon-ltd: I don't dare to run X on that machine :O
[11:23] <ikonia> vistakiller: this is not the channel where developers listen
[11:23] <ikonia> k00giez: please don't
[11:23] <ikonia> vistakiller: contribute to the bug report
[11:23] <k00giez> oknia
[11:23] <tukadafoonday> I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and when it was installing the update my computer locked up, anywho, now it hangs on the bootup and says the following (Process:407) Glib-warning**getpwuid_r() failed due to unknown user id (0) any help would be great - thanks in advanced
[11:23] <magicianlord> are deb files compressed?
[11:24] <aeon-ltd> PeterNL: maybe you could try rtorrent? and ssh instead of the web interface, it might be lighter
[11:24] <vistakiller> there is 6 bug report already for plymouth but nothing happens
[11:24] <Benkinooby> tomashe: maybe you give x11vnc a try
[11:24] <ikonia> vistakiller: ok - so ranting in here won't help, post a construvtive post to the bug
[11:24] <k00giez> was up mao
[11:24] <abhijit> vistakiller, #ubuntu-devel
[11:24] <vistakiller> i must write 6 posts :P or is more
[11:24] <ikonia> abhijit: no
[11:24] <ikonia> abhijit: that is not a support channel
[11:24] <abhijit> ikonia, no? ok
[11:24] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: do you have a gui on your server?
[11:24] <ikonia> that is for development discussion
[11:24] <magicianlord> sometimes bugs arent fixed for months, until next release
[11:24] <abhijit> ikonia, I see
[11:24] <PeterNL> Nope, I need a good looking web interface, and transmission actually works great. The time it actually downloaded faster that it could calculate the hashes was an exeption...
[11:25] <vistakiller> plymouth is the first think that will see a new user
[11:25] <PeterNL> aeon-ltd: ^
[11:25] <vistakiller> how they left this bug to pass to official release?
[11:25] <ikonia> vistakiller: stop now
[11:25] <vistakiller> ok banned me
[11:25] <ikonia> vistakiller: I've told you ranting in here will get you nothing, contribute to the bug report
[11:25] <vistakiller> when i always say something that you dont like you ban
[11:25] <vistakiller> and i am old ubuntu user
[11:25] <xibalba> wow this is too much ext
[11:26] <aeon-ltd> PeterNL: yeah, is there anything else running on the server, if you can go to it now use 'top'/'htop' and see what else may be consuming all the processors power
[11:26] <Benkinooby> how can i fix that annoying "unable to mount [drive name] Not Authorized" ? any hints where to start?
[11:26] <llutz> vistakiller: you're offtopic here, take your rant somewhere
[11:26] <vistakiller> this is the famous ubuntu community?
[11:26] <ikonia> vistakiller: I don't care on your age, make a contribution to the bug report,
[11:26] <vistakiller> you ban the people that complain about something?
[11:26] <ikonia> vistakiller: it will get progressed, if you provide helpful information
[11:26] <garry> can i back up my data online
[11:26] <ikonia> vistakiller: complaining in here will do nothing
[11:26] <vistakiller> i help with bug reports 4 years now
[11:26] <aeon-ltd> vistakiller: haha lol, 'famous', not likely just a big channel is all
[11:26] <ikonia> vistakiller: that's great, so you know the process
[11:26] <slidinghorn> xibalba, if you'd like you can also check out #ubuntu-beginners -- less clutter there :)
[11:26] <vistakiller> and i am member in loco community of ubuntu
[11:27] <Tomashe> i installed x11vnc hwo do i connect to it ?
[11:27] <PeterNL> aeon-ltd: it's not using 100% now. That was only once, and it was a few months ago. And there is http, ssh, postfix, dovecot, transmission, php, mysql and lots of other things running on that box :D
[11:27] <vistakiller> you can say just "stop now" so easy to me
[11:27] <ikonia> vistakiller: then you know the process, so use the process to help with the bug instead of complaining in here
[11:27] <WaltzingAlong> stop now
[11:27] <ikonia> vistakiller: I have said stop, I'd suggested how to progress the bug, so I don't want to see any more on it please.
[11:27] <vistakiller> i help the bug report but nothing happens
[11:27] <abhijit> #ubuntu-bugs?
[11:27] <ikonia> abhijit: why are you suggesting random channels ?
[11:28] <llutz> xibalba: ..<reza@lethalnetworks.om>..  <- typo in address .om/.com?  how should postfix deliver to a non-existing domain/host
[11:28] <abhijit> ikonia, not random. he says that something with solving bugs.
[11:28] <ikonia> abhijit: do you know what the topic of #ubuntu-bugs is?
[11:28] <vistakiller> ok i live in your happy community world guys this was not the ubuntu that i know all this years
[11:28] <vistakiller> something have change
[11:28] <aeon-ltd> PeterNL: oh okay, fair enough
[11:28] <abhijit> ikonia, bugsquad
[11:28] <ikonia> abhijit: and how will that help him resolve his bug?
[11:28] <vistakiller> low quality test and none from developers have hear the problem that we report
[11:28] <tecb0y> how do you setup a ssh tunneling server
[11:29] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: type to console : man x11vnc
[11:29] <tecb0y> so i can connect back to it when i am out of the house ?
[11:29] <abhijit> ikonia, dunno. but he can meet some people working on that bug and he can talk to them
[11:29] <tecb0y> i can only find documentation on the client side
[11:29] <ikonia> abhijit: no he can't
[11:29] <tecb0y> no the server side configuration
[11:29] <abhijit> ikonia, ok
[11:29] <Tomashe> i installed it and open ports and set a passwrod
[11:29] <ikonia> abhijit: the people "working" on that bug are not in that channel, it's Bug Squad, not the developers working on it
[11:29] <Tomashe> whats now
[11:29] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: i don't have x11vnc at hand right now, so i can't tell u the command straight... btw do you have a vnc server running at the computers you want to connect to?
[11:29] <WaltzingAlong> Tomashe: installing x11vnc - done; now start x11vnc, which starts a vnc server attached to an x11 session.
[11:29] <abhijit> ikonia, ohh I see. ok
[11:29] <PeterNL> g2g, bye!
[11:30] <aeon-ltd> PeterNL: bye
[11:30] <WaltzingAlong> Tomashe: followed by a vnc client to the computer where you ran x11vnc
[11:30] <tecb0y> i want to be able to run all my http traffic securely
[11:30] <Tomashe> hmm
[11:30] <Tomashe> can offer me a good client ?
[11:30] <Tomashe> a windows client that i can see the ubuntu machine from
[11:30] <WaltzingAlong> ultravnc.sf.net
[11:30] <ikonia> Tomashe: ##windows for windows software discussion please.
[11:30] <WaltzingAlong> Tomashe: ^
[11:30] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: tightvnc, ultravnc, ...
[11:31] <greenone> @tecb0y , did you try ssh with tunnels ?? :)
[11:31] <Benkinooby> how can i fix that annoying "unable to mount [drive name] Not Authorized" ? any hints where to start?
[11:31] <Tomashe> ty
[11:31] <WaltzingAlong> Benkinooby: become authorized

[11:33] <llutz> tecb0y: "ssh -D 8888 user@youserver" to setup a SOCKS-proxy. point your local webbrowser to localhost:8888 "SOCKS 5" then to use the tunnel
[11:33] <WaltzingAlong> Tomashe: and you are connecting from another local machine?
[11:33]  * greenone Use GSTM for linux tunnel app btw

[11:34] <gops> can any one help me
[11:34] <Tomashe> this is what i wrote in my putty
[11:34] <Tomashe> 10.0.0.13
[11:34] <abhijit> !ask | gops
[11:34] <WaltzingAlong> Tomashe: putty will look at port 22, guess you were to try 10.0.0.13 in ultravnc (connecting to port 5900)
[11:34] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: you need to have avnc server started on your target computer
[11:35] <Tomashe> tightvnc not ultra
[11:35] <tecb0y> llutz, i tried ssh -D 9999 tec@myserver -p 5555
[11:35] <Tomashe> on tightvnc i cannt change the port
[11:35] <n0a1ias> hey so every time i try to open software center, it loads, then  closes instintly and idk y
[11:35] <Benkinooby> erUSUL: yes
[11:35] <tecb0y> llutz, but it just ssh's into my server
[11:36] <llutz> tecb0y: and creates a tunnel
[11:36] <Tomashe> wait

[11:36] <abhijit> hello Slifer :)
[11:37] <Tomashe> how do i check if it's running or now
[11:37] <Tomashe> ?
[11:37] <WaltzingAlong> Tomashe: 10.0.0.13:5900
[11:37] <greenone> you have to connect to localhost:5800 in VNC when the tunnel is running
[11:37] <WaltzingAlong> Tomashe: nmap 10.0.0.13
[11:37] <tecb0y> llutz, ok sweet works !
[11:37] <foolguy> Can I use a ps3 controller with ubuntu over usb?
[11:37] <Tomashe> nmap is currenty not installed
[11:37] <tecb0y> llutz, so i just leave the the terminal logged in?
[11:38] <llutz> tecb0y: yes, if you close it, you'll close the tunnel
[11:38] <BadElvis> hi, i want to write a linux driver for a usb sim card reader. it consists of a usb-to-serial converter and a hex-inverter. http://www.linux-usb.org/ seems to be interesting but seems a little bit outdated. what is a good point to start reading?
[11:38] <Benkinooby> Tomashe:t this one helped me a lot, but i guess you allread read it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
[11:39] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: do you have phsyical access to the server and the (windows) desktop?
[11:40] <Tomashe> it's in the next room
[11:40] <Tomashe> i dont have screen there
[11:40] <Tomashe> so i want to use the vnc
[11:40] <jeffmr_> I've installed bt4 to a usb thumb drive by formatting it as fat32 in mac os and then using netbootin and an iso image in bt4.  I've also installed refit and bt4 on a partition on my hard drive.  Refit recognizes and boots the linux partition but it recognizes and won't boot the usb drive.  It appears with a bootcamp symbol over it and says its a legacy os but when I select it to  boot the screen goes black and the computer heats up.  I've cr
[11:40] <jeffmr_> bootable drives with other linux oses.  Is there any reason this doesn't work?  Backtrack is an ubuntu distribution and I've asked on their channel.
[11:41] <vicky_> hey ppl
[11:41] <bazhang> jeffmr_, bt4 in #backtrack-linux
[11:41] <jeffmr_> bazhang, I've been there
[11:41] <jeffmr_> not many mac users
[11:41] <bazhang> jeffmr_, its not supported here.
[11:41] <jeffmr_> are you an admin?
[11:41] <bazhang> jeffmr_, does it matter? its not supported here.
[11:42] <Benkinooby> Tomashe: just to get it right: your'e sitting in front of a win computer wich you want to use to controll your ubuntu server via vnc. the server has no monitor.
[11:42] <jeffmr_> well, it does because its linux, this is a huge linux forum, and their might be a linux guru here that knows the answer considering that there are 1441 members here.
[11:42] <ikonia> jeffmr_: backtrack linux is not supported here, do not ask again
[11:42] <bazhang> !backtrack > jeffmr_
[11:42] <ikonia> jeffmr_: you have been given the correct channel to join
[11:43] <jeffmr_> I'm not asking for support, I'm asking it anyone knows, what is this a concentration camp?
[11:43] <Benkinooby> hahahahahahahaha
[11:44] <ikonia> jeffmr_: this channel supports/discusses Ubuntu only,
[11:44] <Benkinooby> sorry, this was inappropriate
[11:44] <ikonia> Benkinooby: thank you
[11:44] <jeffmr_> backtrack is ubuntu
[11:44] <ilovefairuz> !backrack | jeffmr_
[11:44] <ilovefairuz> !backtrack | jeffmr_
[11:44] <ikonia> jeffmr_: no it's not, this is the last time you will be told
[11:45] <jeffmr_> konia are you admin?
[11:45] <ikonia> jeffmr_: it doesn't matter, please respect the channels topic
[11:45] <bassist> quit
[11:46] <Benkinooby> whoa... it could ahve be so easy: if jeffmr_ would have tried the same thing with ubuntu instead of bt to lern how to do it....
[11:46] <jeffmr_> I've already done that
[11:46] <ikonia> Benkinooby: backtrack has differnces, hence why it's not supported here
[11:46] <jeffmr_> say hi to your 'dads' for me
[11:46] <ikonia> Benkinooby: they also have a good support channel, however backtrack is not aimed at "new" users, so they don't cut a lot of slack

[12:20] <pieman82>  ilovefairuz:I know thanks.
[12:21] <ilovefairuz> bambam_: the panel right click menu has no "add to panel"? make sure you click on an empty area in the task bar
[12:22] <bambam_> ok but then I can not move it to the place where it earlier used to be ... ie ... in the box of "workspace 4"
[12:24] <bambam_> ilovefairuz : how to get trash bin inside the panel ... I mean in the 4th box which opens workspace 4
[12:25] <ilovefairuz> its-me-again: there are ffmpeg builds for windows too, google it
[12:25] <ilovefairuz> bambam_: right click on it and select 'move'

[12:32] <xibalba> weird thing is i can't ping out of my network either
[12:32] <xibalba> thats probably the issue
[12:33] <ilovefairuz> bambam_: as far as i know, applets cannot be located INSIDE the pager applet (the one showing 4 workspaces) but alongside it
[12:33] <Kunin> why cannot I not do modprobe -r ehci_hcd on 10.04?
[12:33] <ilovefairuz> xibalba: traceroute google.com
[12:34] <bambam_> ilovefairuz : then how was it there in the first place, in fresh installation the bin is always in the 4th box of workspaces ?????? :O
[12:35] <xibalba> its somethnig to do w/my router

[12:39] <yessir_turan> and it installed postfix.. Now its asking me for configuartion. I don't want to install that. Can I terminate. I press cancel, but it doesn't terminate.
[12:39] <yessir_turan> Ctrl-\ doesn't work either.

[12:44] <ilovefairuz> Kunin: probably the driver of a smart card reader
[12:44] <Kunin> ilovefairuz: I'm trying to figure out why all of the sudden my mouse and keyboard do not respond (mouse is partial, movement works as does the reprogrammed buttons, but primary buttons do not)
[12:45] <Kunin> ilovefairuz that's what I thought, and that shouldn't be the cause of my problem... very confusing
[12:45] <ilovefairuz> Kunin: anything relevant in Xorg's log?

[12:50] <troubled> either ubuntu broke suspend on my machine during last updates or after being instructed to test the latest vanilla kernel (maverick). Any ideas if the kernel would cause any tools to update in a way that would break the system suspend?
[12:51] <bazhang> troubled, maverick kernel with lucid? that is explicitly not supported
[12:51] <troubled> Linux compaq 2.6.18-bootsplash+ipset+u32+ipp2p+mms+sip-1 #1 Tue May 13 12:18:52 EDT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[12:51] <abhijit> hello
[12:51] <troubled> oops, wrong machine, sec :)
[12:51] <troubled> bazhang: Linux wks 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:20:59 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[12:52] <bazhang> troubled, thats not the maverick kernel
[12:52] <troubled> bazhang: I was specifically told to test a problem in 10.04 with the .35 current kernel. I did. since then the system fails to suspend.
[12:52] <bazhang> troubled, that was not good advice. and it is explicitly not supported.
[12:53] <troubled> bazhang: let me explain it better. I suspend and have suspended this machine every day without problems since january when I installed. 2 days ago I tried the maverick kernel and had a system update. one of those 2 things broke suspend
[12:53] <jrib> troubled: so don't use the maverick kernel?
[12:53] <troubled> jrib: im not, but i did boot it once to test something. just putting it out there. I just pasting the `uname -a` of what i am actually runing now
[12:53] <bazhang> troubled, indeed. and using a kernel from a development release is explicitly not supported for just such a reason. it will break things.
[12:54] <jrib> troubled: then don't say you're using it, that's confusing :)
[12:54] <admini> test
[12:54] <troubled> jrib: sorry, bad wording. Not "using", had "tried" it to test for a problem for a bug report.
[12:54] <sobersabre> hi.
[12:55] <jrib> troubled: anyway, it shouldn't have affected anything else afaik
[12:55] <sobersabre> I have ubuntu machine, and it has a file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox
[12:55] <quiescens> i'm still using 2.6.31, which occasionally fails suspend, 2.6.32 frequently breaks usb and/or video acceleration requiring a restart to fix, and 2.6.34 causes X to completely die resulting in loss of any work in progress
[12:55] <sobersabre> inside that file there are these settings:
[12:55] <troubled> bazhang: thats fine, but any idea what might update in the config files that might have tweaked their configs that might break suspend by even just trying maverick?
[12:55] <quiescens> so for the timebeing, 2.6.31 is still the.. least annoying of 3 evils
[12:55] <moshisushi> hello! i'm trying to follow this guide: http://shifteightgeneration.com/content/wdtler-fix-tler-setting-wd-desktop-hard-drives, but now i need to make a bootable usb stick instead of burning the image to a CD
[12:55] <moshisushi> because my server has no CD drive
[12:55] <bazhang> troubled, no idea about maverick kernels and current releases, sorry
[12:55] <troubled> jrib: thats what I am thinking. but its either that or the last update to the system from proposed. just here checking if anyone else might have noticed it
[12:55] <moshisushi> how do i do that in ubuntu?
[12:56] <bazhang> moshisushi, unetbootin
[12:56] <bazhang> moshisushi, assuming it is a linux iso
[12:56] <troubled> a look at the syslog though seems to show like the system, upon powerup, starts logging as if its finishing shutting down for a suspend, then it locks up and I get the beeps
[12:57] <moshisushi> bazhang: nah it's not a linux iso really
[12:57] <bazhang> moshisushi, what iso
[12:57] <Guest79166> kk
[12:57] <troubled> bazhang: got a system you can suspend real fast? :)
[12:57] <moshisushi> bazhang: not sure what it really is.. it's a CD for fixing Western Digital drives
[12:57] <bazhang> troubled, works fine for me
[12:58] <moshisushi> bazhang: it's FreeDOS or something
[12:58] <Guest79166> do any one here know hacking?
[12:58] <troubled> bazhang: nice to know its an isolated problem. thanks :)
[12:58] <bazhang> moshisushi, no idea if unetbootin can handle that.
[12:58] <sobersabre> anyway, how do I disable this apparmor setting?
[12:58] <bazhang> Guest79166, kernel hacking?
[12:59] <Guest79166> no web site hacking?
[12:59] <jrib> troubled: what was your reasoning for testing the kernel?
[12:59] <bazhang> Guest79166, no, dont ask here
[12:59] <Kunin> ilovefairuz see anything?
[12:59] <Guest79166> k..........
[12:59] <lxsys> ilovefairuz: i'm just going to type it cant be bothered to get stupid usb to work, shouldn't take 20 minutes :(
[12:59] <ilovefairuz> moshisushi: i haven't to make freedos boot of usb for a similar thing but it failed to boot though I didn't pursue it much, try asking in #freedos
[12:59] <troubled> jrib: I was asked by a dev in a bug report
[12:59] <jrib> troubled: right, but regarding what?
[12:59] <ilovefairuz> Kunin:  still looking
[13:00] <ilovefairuz> lxsys: right-click and format is not working ?
[13:00] <troubled> jrib: a dvd problem. seems the latest kernel is fine with it
[13:00] <troubled> well, dvd drive
[13:00] <jrib> troubled: ok, just figured maybe it was related
[13:00] <ilovefairuz> moshisushi: haven't been able *
[13:01] <lxsys> ilovefairuz: yes it is, but teh other laptop keeps throwing up permission denied
[13:01] <troubled> jrib: nah. but as I was saying, this only happened the last 2 days, and the only thing that happened since was the .35 test and a package update
[13:01] <moshisushi> ilovefairuz: however it's not really freedos....
[13:01] <jrib> troubled: do you know what packages were updated?
[13:01] <moshisushi> i mean.. FreeDOS is ON tehre
[13:01] <Kunin> ilovefairuz well... apparently some keys are working, kill X did
[13:01] <moshisushi> but you boot the CD, THEN you select FreeDOS
[13:01] <ilovefairuz> lxsys: mount it and copy using, sudo cp /path/to/file  /media/disk/
[13:01] <moshisushi> so i guess it's just some kind of bootable CD
[13:02] <troubled> jrib: not off hand. was some stuff from proposed and some stuff from security. i'd have to go through the logs
[13:02] <lxsys> ilovefairuz: tried that, won't work. also made a file on the usb from working laptop and it was ok, edited it on other laptop and it wasn't happy.
[13:02] <ilovefairuz> moshisushi: yes it is, the disk utility runs on freedos
[13:02] <jrib> troubled: hmm, proposed isn't really meant to be used as a an "always-on" repository
[13:03] <troubled> jrib: ya, might just be the first time ive been bitten by having it on. i don't want to disable it now though in case I start getting missing dependancy issues
[13:03] <jrib> troubled: you won't get missing dependency issues
[13:04] <lxsys> ilovefairuz: nevermind, somehow smacking the laptop in rage got the damn card to work... must be loose connection
[13:04] <ilovefairuz> !who | moshisushi
[13:04] <troubled> jrib: even if I remove something that was updated to a higher version than is stock and they depend on stuff that was from proposed or pulled in from it?
[13:04] <Kunin> ilovefairuz and a new error when X restarted: could not updates ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority
[13:04] <moshisushi> ilovefairuz: sure :>
[13:04] <quiescens> percussive maintenance
[13:05] <ilovefairuz> moshisushi: what you are referring to is just the bootloader, the actual OS is freedos
[13:05] <jrib> troubled: you're removing things, dependencies aren't required to remove something and apt would tell you if other things depend on it
[13:05] <troubled> jrib: well, guess ill disable it than, thanks
[13:06] <moshisushi> ilovefairuz: so getting the image on there with UNetbootin set to FreeDOS is worth a try?
[13:06] <moshisushi> ilovefairuz: well, that's what i'm doing now anyway
[13:06] <ilovefairuz> moshisushi: i don't think it would, but try it
[13:07] <ilovefairuz> Kunin: sudo chown -R gdm /var/lib/gdm
[13:08] <Kunin> ilovefairuz was about to do that, just looking to see what it was now... user landscape and group admin... no idea what either of those are
[13:09] <Kunin> ilovefairuz and the original problem still exists
[13:09] <ilovefairuz> moshisushi: http://wiki.fdos.org/Installation/BootDiskCreateUSB has instructions for ubuntu
[13:09] <ilovefairuz> Kunin: the keyboard/mouse are not working even after restarting X?
[13:10] <Kunin> ilovefairuz correct, still not working
[13:10] <ilovefairuz> Kunin: there could be a memory corruption somewhere, try rebooting?
[13:10] <Kunin> ilovefairuz BUT, they do work through synergy, so the keystrokes and such are being registered somewhere
[13:11] <Kunin> ilovefairuz IE, I can move my mouse onto this computer, and using the mouse/keyboard from my main type this message
[13:11] <wh1sk3yj4ck> how do I run a cli command so that it doesn't go into .bash_history?
[13:12] <Kunin> ilovefairuz or, more odd... keyboard works (on both systems), but mouse still does not work (on either)
[13:12] <llutz> wh1sk3yj4ck: start the line with a space
[13:12] <ilovefairuz> Kunin: pkill synergys and start it again
[13:12] <wh1sk3yj4ck> llutz, cheers mate
[13:15] <Kunin> ilovefairuz no apparent change
[13:16] <ilovefairuz> Kunin: more than one synergys could be running, try killall -KILL synergys, and restart X
[13:17] <Kunin> ilovefairuz unless they can hide from ps -e I doubt it, but ok
[13:17] <girgoo> exit
[13:18] <HaarDz> How i can use the sed command to change this " ' " character
[13:19] <allguru> i have improved www.noobsnetwork.com !!! , what do you think?

[13:27] <calebr> hi, does anybody know if it is possible to get boost > 1.40 for ubuntu as deb package?
[13:27] <ilovefairuz> moshisushi: there's a directory on the ISO called 'dosapps'   so copy that to the usb drive .. it has the scanning app you need to run
[13:27] <ilovefairuz> moshisushi: you can extract is from the ISO using archive manager
[13:28] <Kunin> ilovefairuz thanks though
[13:28] <ilovefairuz> Kunin: np

[13:38] <magicianlord> hello. flashplugin install couldnt download, and never installed the plugin

[13:42] <linxeh> is there anything in the repositories that will help me in aligning a video recording from a camcorder with an audio recording of the same event (I recorded a friends band playing on multitrack and have just been mixing it down, and now want to synchronise the music to the video camera footage I made)
[13:42] <ilovefairuz> mint: pastebin lshw -C network
[13:42] <linxeh> something like iMovie ?
[13:42] <e01> ilovefairuz, i install it but it won`t apear in plugins list
[13:43] <abhijit> linxeh, kdenlive?
[13:43] <ilovefairuz> e01: it's a tray app
[13:43] <e01> how to run it
[13:43] <alberto> hola
[13:43] <second> I'm trying to restore a computer for some relatives -_- I setup ubuntu and they used an EXTREMLY weak password, it seems as though someone has guessed the password (go figure) and removed root from all users but themselves, the computer isn't always on which is why they are never logged in. I can see the user account
[13:43] <ilovefairuz> !es | alberto
[13:43] <second> how do I get the computer to drop a root shell ?
[13:43] <moshisushi> ilovefairuz: it all worked
[13:43] <ilovefairuz> e01: from applications menu
[13:43] <moshisushi> ilovefairuz: thanks
[13:44] <ilovefairuz> moshisushi: you're welcome
[13:44] <second> I did init=/bin/bash from grub and it dropped a shell but I was unable to get it to passwd
[13:44] <linxeh> abhijit: I'll take a look, thanks
[13:44] <second> it kept saying invalid auth tokens etc
[13:44] <second> so I tried the recoverymenu but the text on that is messed up too
[13:45] <ilovefairuz> second sudo passwd to change the root password
[13:45] <greenone> linxeh: Enna or Moovida
[13:45] <e01> ilovefairuz, i had no glipper or clipboard manager in the menues
[13:45] <linxeh> abhijit: that looks great, thanks
[13:45] <second> ilovefairuz: I was root
[13:45] <linxeh> greenone: ok I'll take a look at those too - many thanks
[13:45] <william> hello
[13:45] <abhijit> linxeh, :)
[13:46] <linxeh> greenone: those don't do anything like what I want to do ?
[13:46] <second> ilovefairuz: I was in a dropped shell after init=/bin/bash
[13:46] <calebr> hi, does anybody know if it is possible to get boost > 1.40 for ubuntu as deb package?
[13:46] <william> go ubuntu!
[13:47] <ilovefairuz> e01: did you install it first? alt + f2 and type glipper
[13:47] <blurid> hey
[13:47] <hiromi> hey blurid
[13:47] <blurid> maybe someone can help??
[13:47] <linxeh> calebr: libboost
[13:47] <hiromi> blurid, ask
[13:47] <blurid> :-)
[13:47] <blurid> yes
[13:47] <ilovefairuz> !details | blurid
[13:47] <justakill> hey everyone can someone help me out i'd like to know if my synaptic package manager is correctly configured
[13:48] <ilovefairuz> e01: did you install it first? alt + f2 and type glipper
[13:48] <ilovefairuz> !details | justakill
[13:48] <ilovefairuz> second: what are you trying to accomplish ?
[13:48] <calebr> linxeh: yeah, libboost is in 1.40 and i need at least 1.41. lastest is 1.43
[13:48] <justakill> well it works its about my repository's
[13:48] <blurid> i want to install another linux distribution via usbstick. Or trnsferred the bootloader to my usb is bit of a problem
[13:48] <linxeh> calebr: oh sorry I didnt read ;-)
[13:48] <greenone> Linxeh : Thats true, u can try VideoCut or AviDemux to do something like that but thats all i know about video apps like iMovie, but maybe those apps will help :)
[13:49] <justakill> i'm not sure i have the right ones for my distribution
[13:49] <linxeh> greenone: fwiw, kdenlive is exactly what I was after :)
[13:49] <linxeh> greenone: thanks!
[13:49] <ilovefairuz> !unetbootin | justakill
[13:49] <blurid> there most be a program or something??
[13:49] <ilovefairuz> !unetbootin > blurid
[13:49] <linxeh> blurid: yes, try unetbootin
[13:49] <second> ilovefairuz: I'm trying to reset the root password
[13:50] <greenone> linxeh, thanks will have a look at those apps later
[13:50] <second> also the user that logs into gnome (auto-login) has had its password changed too
[13:50] <ilovefairuz> second: login normally to the machine and sudo passwd
[13:50] <JackNocturne> i need help about ddrescue > http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/rpvjzsin  < thanks in advance
[13:51] <second> ilovefairuz: sudo needs a password -_-
[13:51] <second> which I don't have
[13:51] <ilovefairuz> second: what happens when you try passwd in init=/bin/bash ?
[13:51] <Random832> second: you don't have a password on your regular user?
[13:52] <Random832> i don't think that configuration is supported
[13:52] <ilovefairuz> !pm | Tomashe
[13:52] <second> Random832: nope that was changed by whoever hacked in
[13:53] <Tomashe> noone helps me
[13:53] <hiromi> Tomashe, ask again
[13:53] <second> ilovefairuz: I think it may be because I didn't have rw, I had ro
[13:53] <second> forgot about that
[13:53] <ilovefairuz> second: use livecd, and chroot to your root partition, then execute passwd
[13:53] <Tomashe> i cannt understand why my vpn isnt working i installed the x11vpn using that : http://lifehacker.com/317125/set-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps
[13:53] <Tomashe> then downloaded tightvpn client
[13:53] <second> ilovefairuz: -_- mhm that was my first idea but they lost the cd
[13:53]  * second is doing this over the phone -_-
[13:53] <Tomashe> but still cannt connect to the network on my localhost
[13:54] <hiromi> Tomashe, is the VNC port open on both firewalls
[13:54] <ilovefairuz> second: append: rw init=/bin/bash
[13:54] <Tomashe> i dont know atm i'm using putty to connect my server
[13:54] <second> ilovefairuz: i'll try that next, last time had ro (read-only)
[13:54] <Tomashe> and i'm kinda n00b
[13:54] <hiromi> Tomashe, hold on
[13:55] <Tomashe> when i do nmap 10.0.0.13 it gives me some values
[13:55] <e01> ilovefairuz, i restart gnome and glipper is apearing now:)
[13:55] <e01> 10x
[13:55] <llutz> second: install a fresh OS on that machine.if someone hacked in, you cannot be sure he hasn't left some more things. you cannot trust this system
[13:55] <Random832> second: edit /etc/shadow and replace the encrypted password with "VwL97VCAx1Qhs" - that sets it to "root"
[13:55] <Random832> or yeah just reinstall
[13:55] <Random832> llutz: though if they changed the root password they're not that subtle :P
[13:56] <JackNocturne> i need help with this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/rpvjzsin
[13:56] <Random832> and changed the user password
[13:56] <second> llutz: I'll just lock everyone out
[13:56] <robotjox> hello, I wonder if anyone here can help me - I'm trying to log into a networked server through a remote connection with ssh, but I get a "Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic)" all the time. I don't know much about ssh, but I have been asked if I have "enabled port forwarding in my client", but I am using bash, so that should be alright, yes?
[13:56] <Random832> second: technically even if you do that and even if it _tells_ you everything's locked down, there could be a hole it's been programmed not to tell you about
[13:56] <second> llutz: you don't know these people, they would really really f that machine up if they tried to do a fresh install
[13:56] <llutz> Random832: speculation, you cannot be sure. so reinstall is the only way to get a known state
[13:57] <second> Random832: I'll have to do the best I can
[13:57] <second> at least until I go visit them
[13:57] <Random832> how would they "f it up" (also language)
[13:57] <second> Random832: >_> you don't know them, trust me on this one
[13:58] <ilovefairuz> robotjox: bash is a shell not an ssh client
[13:58] <ilovefairuz> !ssh | robotjox
[13:58] <second> that machine also has windows on it, they would wipe that and all their datas :P and I would be blamed for it
[13:58] <robotjox> ilovefairuz: oh, yes - so I guess I'm using "open-ssh", then?
[13:59] <karmic-koala> hi all, anyone knows what's the opposite of easy_install (aka if i wanted to get rid of stuff installed using easy_install) ???
[13:59] <JackNocturne> help with ddrescue  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/rpvjzsin
[13:59] <ilovefairuz> robotjox: yes openssh
[14:01] <eigentor> Hm how can I disable password request when installing software from the software center
[14:01] <robotjox> ilovefairuz: but do you have any idea why I can't get in?
[14:01] <eigentor> I trust myself ;)
[14:01] <ilovefairuz> JackNocturne: unmounting it will ensure no data is written
[14:01] <abhijit> how to see my gnome version?
[14:01] <JackNocturne> thank you : )
[14:01] <william> go into system monitor
[14:02] <ubuntu-usr> hi all
[14:02] <abhijit> william, thanks
[14:02] <william> welcome
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> abhijit: dpkg -l | grep gnome-common
[14:02] <ilovefairuz> robotjox: is that the first time you use ssh?
[14:02] <ubuntu-usr> does anyone know how to send file from symbian s60.3 using putty?
[14:02] <robotjox> ilovefairuz: I have done a "-v" debug, but all I get is "Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic)"
[14:03] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, ok
[14:03] <robotjox> ilovefairuz: no I have used it often
[14:03] <robotjox> ilovefairuz: but never with forwarding
[14:03] <ubuntu-usr> i'm using ssh connection to ubuntu
[14:03] <ilovefairuz> robotjox: type: ls -l  ~/.ssh/id*
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> eigentor: you need to type the password as you are using gksudo as your user is just that, a user but you are in a special group to allow you to use sudo and gksudo
[14:04] <eigentor> ActionParsnip: eh....
[14:04] <robotjox> ilovefairuz: that lists the keys
[14:04] <eigentor> gksudo
[14:04] <eigentor> hm
[14:04] <eigentor> well I use the shell regularly on my webserver
[14:04] <eigentor> but on the desktop this is new ground for me
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> eigentor: its the correct way to run graphical apps with elevated priveledges, sudo for graphical apps like nautilus and gedit will ruin file ownerships
[14:05] <ilovefairuz> robotjox: ssh-copy-id user@host
[14:05] <Utrinqueparatus> can you install une to a sd card
[14:05] <eigentor> ActionParsnip: ok
[14:05] <eigentor> but I had problems understanding what I should do
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Utrinqueparatus: sure, there is an option in the livecd to install to usb
[14:05] <KrisKo> ubuntu-usr: copying files via ssh: scp /path/to/file/file.xxx user@computer:/store/file/here/
[14:06] <Utrinqueparatus> ActionParsnip: i have no cd drive its a netbook
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> eigentor: just stick with it, it makes the system more secure
[14:06] <pula_n_pizda> hello i have problem with login
[14:06] <eigentor> ActionParsnip: sure
[14:06] <robotjox> ilovefairuz: then I get the "Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic)" again :(
[14:06] <KrisKo> ubuntu-usr: not sure if U can copy files from e.g. mobile phone running symbian
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> Utrinqueparatus: do you just want to install from SD card or install as a persistant install to the SD card/
[14:06] <Utrinqueparatus> either or
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> Utrinqueparatus: ok then you can use usb-creator-gtk in an established Ubuntu once you download (and MD5 test) the ISO you want
[14:08] <ubuntu-usr> KrisKo, i'll check it. but i think that's impossible because this command will be given remontly. i'm wrong? how about put command?
[14:09] <artinstartin> How can I change the settings of the audio (amplifieing the already 100% volume) permanently?
[14:09] <froschi> ubuntu-usr: i think you really can not with putty
[14:09] <KrisKo> ubuntu-usr: put command is for ftp protocol, it has diferent syntax, but it's also possible to copy files via ftp
[14:10] <ilovefairuz> robotjox: try loggin it using: ssh -o "PubkeyAuthentication no"  user@host
[14:10] <Utrinqueparatus> i am trying to copy files from ubuntu to an external ntfs hdd and it keeps giving me the error: error open file "file path" input/output error
[14:10] <ubuntu-usr> KrisKo, so in this case my server should have ftp server too?
[14:11] <KrisKo> yes
[14:11] <aaronyy> ssh has buildin sftp
[14:11] <XimDev> dear all, how do I know the model and brand of my hard disk using commandline in ubuntu
[14:11] <XimDev> and serial number
[14:12] <oCean_> XimDev: use lshw
[14:12] <ikonia> XimDev: your hard disk vendor may have tools, but it's doubtful
[14:12] <ilovefairuz> Utrinqueparatus: check cables, or try formatting the disk, if neither worked it's a hardware issue
[14:13] <llutz> XimDev: hdparm -I /dev/sdX
[14:13] <ikonia> oCean_: nice one, didn't know that showed the disks serial
[14:13] <troubled> XimDev: hdparm -i /dev/XXX should tell you all
[14:13] <XimDev> thanks a lot oCean_ ikonia and llutz
[14:13] <XimDev> thanks a lot troubled
[14:14] <robotjox> ilovefairuz: thanks for your help, but now I can't even log into the remote server anymore let alone the remote computer I am trying to access. I think there's a  problem on their end. Thanks again!
[14:14] <llutz> troubled: -i won't show serial
[14:14] <oCean_> ikonia: hdparm seems to do the trick also!
[14:14] <troubled> llutz: does on mine
[14:14] <robotjox> ilovefairuz: I'll try to contact them. Thanks!
[14:14] <troubled> llutz: even tells me the firmware rev
[14:14] <ilovefairuz> robotjox: their firewall probably blocked you for repeated attempts, and you're welcome
[14:14] <llutz> troubled: my bad, you're right, sry
[14:15] <troubled> ;)
[14:17] <froschi> ubuntu-usr: i'd go the other way and find some ssh client for s60, like http://thinkabdul.com/2007/11/29/rsync-symbian-synchronize-nokia-s60-files-with-multiple-foldersdirectories-on-computer-via-ssh-over-wifi/ <- never tried it, but will soon :)
[14:20] <padhu> Which is the best GUI firewall for ubuntu 10.04?
[14:20] <KeithChester> im trying to get eeepc acpi support package installed, but am getting the following error message:
[14:20] <padhu> gucf  or firestarter?
[14:20] <troubled> padhu: firestarter seems to do an okay job. i use shorewall now though
[14:20] <KeithChester> eeepc-acpi-scripts: Depends: acpi-support-base but it is not installable
[14:20] <KeithChester> any ideas?
[14:20] <padhu> gufw*
[14:21] <troubled> padhu: shorewall isnt a gui btw. but it pwns :)
[14:22] <padhu> oh, then how can i use it?
[14:23] <Gup> Guys, I'm trying to track down a memory leak... any good tools about? It would be cool to plot the mem usage of the individual process from ps on a graph over time or something?
[14:23] <Gup> I've tried comparing screen shots of top or activity monitor throughout the week, but everything just seems to be slowly increasing!
[14:23] <padhu> troubled:  ^^^
[14:23] <spiky> padhu: gufw works well
[14:23] <troubled> padhu: shorewall? its a bunch of config files in /etc/shorewall that you "fill in the blanks"
[14:23] <ubuntu-usr> froschi, thx. i wonder is port forwarding here is unnecessary
[14:23] <ikonia> Gup: what do you think is leaking ?
[14:23] <troubled> padhu: shorewall is more of a rather advanced firewall though
[14:24] <Gup> ikonia, thats the problem, i have no idea!
[14:24] <padhu> troubled: give me an link for learn it
[14:24] <ikonia> Gup: why do you think something is leaking then ?
[14:24] <troubled> padhu: http://sohrewall.net/
[14:24] <PS> hello.
[14:25] <troubled> padhu: iirc, ubuntu ships with 4.2, so pick the docs accordingly when on that site
[14:25] <AloneWolfCRO> Heloo! I have a q? How that i remove nautilus elementary?
[14:26] <padhu> Sure, troubled. Thank you
[14:26] <ubuntu-usr> froschi, where rsync daemon should be run? on ssh server or on my mobile?
[14:26] <ikonia> AloneWolfCRO: open the package manager, search for the package, click remove
[14:26] <troubled> padhu: also, to have a better shorewall experience, I removed/disabled the package for the default ubuntu network that gives each user the option for specifying the networking info. I forget the package name though. basically, I reverted back to a "traditional" networking environment where the eth is brought up during start and stays up
[14:27] <padhu> troubled: oh
[14:27] <AloneWolfCRO> ok i will try
[14:28] <angelitusss> Hi everyone! I wonder if any has solved the flickering screen issue? I'm having that problem with ATI radeon 1200x and Intel based video cards.
[14:28] <troubled> padhu: also, you probably want shorewall-perl instead of plain shorewall, that installs a perl version of the compiler instead of a bash/sh based compiler. there are limits that probably will affect both, but perl tends to be the more powerful one
[14:28] <Jec> anybody use ibus ?
[14:29] <troubled> padhu: an example: the shell shorewall can do firewalling on a bridge, but the perl version cant yet. (not likely to affect you). Where as the perl version can auto detect broadcast address of an interface but the shell version cant, etc.
[14:29] <ikonia> Jec: just ask your question
[14:29] <AloneWolfCRO> ikonia: i can't see nautilus elementary on synaptic :S
[14:29] <padhu> troubled: that's good idea. any GUI tar ball?
[14:30] <ikonia> AloneWolfCRO: there doesn't appear to be a  nautilus elementary package in the ubuntu repos
[14:30] <ikonia> AloneWolfCRO: how did you install it ?
[14:31] <troubled> padhu: as for the package to remove, do you know that little applet ubuntu gives you to control networking? remove that package. As for GUI, no, its just "always on" so to speak. just apt-get install shorewall-perl shorewall-doc, and you should be good to go. Its safe to install too as it wont run until you enabled it in /etc/default/shorewall
[14:31] <AloneWolfCRO> i thik via ubuntu tweak
[14:31] <ikonia> AloneWolfCRO: then we don't support it here
[14:31] <AloneWolfCRO> I know :S
[14:31] <ikonia> AloneWolfCRO: then why are you asking ?
[14:32] <AloneWolfCRO> i just thing that you will still help me
[14:32] <ikonia> AloneWolfCRO: I have no idea how ubuntu-tweak installs packages for you, you'll need to speak to the ubuntu-tweak people to find out how it installs
[14:32] <terry> Whats PDTV?
[14:32] <Gup> ikonia, i have to reboot once every few weeks, when i do mem usage is about 20% with loads of free or cached, but used slowly creeps up until its left no room for cached, things start to swap and everything grinds to a halt, here's my munin memory graph http://imagebin.ca/view/wuyxlS.html
[14:32] <terry> Whats PDTV?
[14:32] <AloneWolfCRO> ok thnx
[14:32] <terry> Whats PDTV?
[14:33] <sam__> hi
[14:33] <froschi> ubuntu-usr: if you can login from putty, you don't need port forwarding in your setup. then you don't need it for filetransfer either. rsync daemon *if* you need it should be run on server. but you shouldn't need it for basic usage (only for advanced user managment or so)
[14:33] <ikonia> Gup: simplest thing to do is, boot your box, leave it running with nothing additional open, see how that responds, that will rule out generic services/applications
[14:33] <cloud_xff7> xD
[14:33] <cloud_xff7> hello
[14:33] <angelitusss> Hi! Anyone solve the flickering issue? (Ubuntu 10.04 -  ATI or Intel)
[14:34] <cloud_xff7> any girl here?
[14:34] <cloud_xff7> :D
[14:34] <troubled> cloud_xff7: ?
[14:34] <ikonia> cloud_xff7: this is a support channel only, please keep to that topic
[14:34] <cloud_xff7> ok
[14:34] <cloud_xff7> calm friend

 thank you friend :D
[14:35] <angelitusss> Hi guys
[14:36] <Gup> ikonia, could be a bit inconvenient.. it runs all sorts of stuff like mail server and backup stuff i wouldnt want to be down for any period of time, not to mention i need to use it to work on!
[14:36] <angelitusss> I moved all the Win machines to Ubuntu. But now I have half of them flickering, anyone solve this?
[14:37] <angelitusss> I mean, at my office
[14:37] <ikonia> Gup: so you're going to have to use tools like top to see where your resources are going,
[14:37] <sam__> having problems with etting my windows effect when i enable my nvidia card it resets my resolution to 640x480, i ried a few different thing then got the mesage 90.7 kh/84.6khz frequency out of range please try a diff resolution, since then i had to reinstall pclinux because it wont loead into ubuntu
[14:37] <angelitusss> We're very happy, but the flickering in 10.04 could be annoying...
[14:37] <XDS_> "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc2,        missing codepage or helper program, or other error        (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,        instead of some logical partition inside?)        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try        dmesg | tail  or so "
[14:38] <XDS_> Nothing wrong with the disk
[14:38] <padhu> troubled: ok, i am going to try
[14:38] <ubuntu-usr> i made usb disk with ubuntu but i would like to add ghost 4 linux to my usb drive. how to do that?
[14:38] <DarsVaeda> hi, i could need some help troubleshooting my network connection
[14:38] <troubled> padhu: np, gl!
[14:38] <erUSUL> !persistent
[14:38] <amaurea> Hi! I'm trying to mount my mobile phone as a mass storage device. It supports this, but when I attach it, it does not automatically appear in /media. Is it possible to make the computer rescan for devices to mount there? Or how could I mount it manually?
[14:39] <oaf> ubuntu-usr: do you have ghost for linux?
[14:39] <DarsVaeda> i have no connection to my router, ifconfig says that my inet addr is 127.0.0.1 that makes me wonder
[14:39] <DarsVaeda> my router works, i'm writing from my notebook now
[14:39] <ubuntu-usr> oaf, i'll download it soon
[14:39] <troubled> padhu: if you get stuck and firewall yourself offline, just remember to do "shorewall clear" in a shell as root. that will open your firewall up so to speak. "shorewall stop" actually blocks everything in or out
[14:39] <froschi> ubuntu-usr: mmhh... about rsync and port forwarding i take everything i said back. according to the docs, it's kinda confused, and for some reason you seem to need the daemon...
[14:40] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: 127.0.0.1 is the lo adrress. what is the ip for eth0 or wlan0 ?
[14:40] <DarsVaeda> ahh ok, there is no eth0
[14:40] <DarsVaeda> at least when i do "sudo ifconfig"
[14:40] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: what NIC card do you have on the machine?
[14:40] <ubuntu-usr> froschi, you mean deamon at server side
[14:41] <DarsVaeda> its onboad, worked yesterday and like 2 years before
[14:41] <DarsVaeda> onboard
[14:41] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: lspci | grep -i net
[14:41] <oaf> ubuntu-usr: how to use ghost 4 linux?
[14:41] <DarsVaeda> realtek RTL8101E
[14:42] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: try « sudo modprobe r8169 »
[14:42] <Gup> ok ikonia, i'll keep comparing screen shots over time, but as i say, it looks like everything slowly increases its mem usage. i'll upload them over the next few days if i still cant figure it out! cheers :)
[14:42] <DarsVaeda> what should that do erusul?
[14:42] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: dod eth0 come up ?
[14:42] <DarsVaeda> nope
[14:42] <erUSUL> did*
[14:42] <ubuntu-usr> oaf, see at http://redkrieg.com/2007/03/19/ghost-4-linux-complete-guide-to-imaging/
[14:43] <DarsVaeda> the light is on at the cards input
[14:43] <oaf> ubuntu-usr: thanks
[14:43] <DarsVaeda> can i check if ubunt can access the card?
[14:43] <DarsVaeda> like hardware-manager in windows
[14:43] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: « sudo modprobe -r r8169 && sudo modprobe r8169 »
[14:43] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: then « dmesg | tail -n20 » paste the output
[14:43] <blue112> Hi here =)
[14:44] <Benkinooby> is 79.179.5XX.XXX a LAN ip?
[14:44] <troubled> Benkinooby: you mean rfc1918? no
[14:44] <DarsVaeda> i can not paste the output
[14:44] <DarsVaeda> but there is an eth0: entry
[14:45] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: do you see any obvilous error ?
[14:45] <DarsVaeda> eth0: RTL8102e
[14:45] <padhu>  troubled: sure
[14:45] <DarsVaeda> no errors
[14:45] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: do « ifconfig » does eth0 appears now ?
[14:45] <sam__> any 1 know what caouse the" 90.7khz/84.6khz frequency out of range please try another resolution" error it prevents me from loading ubuntu
[14:45] <DarsVaeda> no
[14:45] <Benkinooby> troubled:s o i sould be able to ssh to it via internet?
[14:45] <froschi> ubuntu-usr: yeah, or on mobile... both options seem to work according to the docs... i only don't see any encryption at all there or ssh protocol though... this is strange...
[14:46] <DarsVaeda> the only thing in dmesg is that it says PCI INT A disabled
[14:46] <troubled> Benkinooby: well, its an internet routable ip range, if thats what you are asking. ie: its not 192.168.X.X, 172.16.X.X or 10.X.X.X
[14:46] <DarsVaeda> but a bit beneath says PCI INT A -> GSI 17 ...
[14:46] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: check « ifconfig » does it have a eth0 now ?
[14:46] <ilovefairuz> !hi | blue112
[14:46] <Benkinooby> troubled: ah ok, thx. i was not sure about the rang of LAN ips
[14:47] <blue112> :D
[14:47] <DarsVaeda> no just local
[14:47] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[14:47] <erUSUL> DarsVaeda: :(
[14:47] <troubled> Benkinooby: np
[14:47] <troubled> Benkinooby: those are coverered in RFC1918 specifically btw, google it for coffee reading :)
[14:48] <ilovefairuz> amaurea: tail -f /var/log/messages as you plug it in
[14:48] <adalal> hey
[14:48] <adalal> i was wondering if there is a way to get multiple output streams from one webcam
[14:48] <fragg> hello
[14:49] <DarsVaeda> can i somehow reinstall all networking? like on the installation
[14:51] <amaurea> ilovefairuz: Ok, I have done that, and something did happen when I plugged it in. here is a pastebin of it: http://pastebin.com/jFAJN9e6
[14:52] <themusicgod1> Gup: apparently it can be handy to trace calls to mmap
[14:52] <themusicgod1>  this is an example, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxkernelnewbies@googlegroups.com/msg01913.html
[14:53] <themusicgod1> ideally if you could do the same for freeing the memory you could make sur ethat they always come in pairs
[14:53] <themusicgod1> also, valgrind
[14:54] <themusicgod1> or did you mean something simpler than those two?
[14:54] <DarsVaeda> @erUSUL: in the Network Tools i can see a eth0 device, it also has the correct hardware address ... may this give a hint?
[14:55] <ilovefairuz> amaurea: ls /dev/sdb* ?
[14:56] <amaurea> ilovefairuz: does not exist
[14:56] <amaurea> that is where I looked first
[14:56] <ilovefairuz> amaurea: what's the phone model? and pastebininit /var/log/messages
[14:57] <DarsVaeda> i can also do "ifconfig eth0" that brings up my card
[14:57] <amaurea> ilovefairuz: wait, what exactly do you want me to pastebin? The phone model?
[14:57] <amaurea> ilovefairuz: or the whole of /var/local/messages?
[14:57] <DarsVaeda> but it has no ip address
[14:58] <ilovefairuz> amaurea: yes the whole file, and write your phone model here
[14:59] <troubled> ilovefairuz: you mean pastebinit yes? amaurea: you mean /var/log/messages, yes?
[14:59] <amaurea> troubled: yes
[15:00] <tyler51c> does anyone here use seamonkey
[15:00] <DarsVaeda> i need some troubleshooting with my ethernet connection, my router works but still there is no internet connection

[15:00] <moritz__> hi, i've got an ubuntu derivative installed on my aspire one 532h netbook and the touchpad doesn't work. xorg log doesn't have any errors in it and even says it loaded the touchpad drivers. any ideas?
[15:00] <swordfish> can opera installed in ubuntu?
[15:00] <DarsVaeda> yes
[15:01] <coz_> moritz__,  which derivitive is this?
[15:01] <coz_> derivative rather
[15:01] <swordfish> opera installation in ubuntu  please tell me the process
[15:02] <coz_> moritz__,  which derivative of ubuntu is this  ??
[15:02] <moritz__> mint. already asked in their channel, no response yet and i maybe it's non-mint-specific known problem?
[15:02] <swordfish> i need the process of opera installation in ubuntu
[15:02] <swordfish> 10.04
[15:02] <moritz__> swordfish: go to opera.com and download the ubuntu package. :)
[15:02] <swordfish> is .deb
[15:03] <amaurea> ilovefairuz: The phone model is a sony ericsson w980, I think (can't see it right now, as the phone functions are available during a mass storage session). I'm not sure how to pastebin a whole file effectively, so I uploaded it somewhere else: http://folk.uio.no/sigurdkn/messages
[15:03] <uma_> hi
[15:03] <swordfish> hi
[15:03] <swordfish> uma_
[15:03] <moritz__> coz_: any ideas? :)
[15:03] <amaurea> ilovefairuz: note, that file contains several attempts
[15:04] <coz_> moritz__,   not off hand ...no...last time I tried mint it had issues the refular ubuntu did not...
[15:04] <xguru> anyone have ati drivers working in lucid?  I have the following error.  http://www.pastie.org/
[15:05] <oliver_> Is it possible to record the screen with a ati card? It laggs a lot
[15:05] <moritz__> coz_: i fear that the regular ubuntu is too bloated to be able to work on a 1gb ram netbook. :/
[15:06] <troubled> oliver_: tried something like gtkrecordmydesktop or similar?
[15:06] <coz_> moritz__,   well i switched to Edubuntu for that reason...works much faster than any of the others
[15:06] <marienz> moritz__: I run vanilla ubuntu on an ancient laptop with 1280MB of ram, works sufficiently well for my needs
[15:06] <marienz> moritz__: does boot and resume a bit slowly, but once it's up it works for me.
[15:07] <marienz> but I guess I'm pretty patient :)
[15:07] <oliver_> troubled: I have tried gtkrecordmydesktop with default settings... i cannot record with compiz on and without compiz it's work but not flawless
[15:07] <payam> test of Smuxi IRC!
[15:07] <troubled> oliver_: ah compiz. ya that can lag video alot, and worse, keeps the GPU temp's peaked I find. I turn that garbage off
[15:07] <moritz__> marienz: i'd have to have 4+ apps at the same time for work, which is itself a problem with 1gb of ram with these apps :(
[15:08] <marienz> moritz__: ahh, I see.
[15:08] <amaurea> oliver_: have you tried ffmpeg? I've heard that described as the only decent screen capture on linux
[15:08] <marienz> moritz__: yeah, I usually just run a browser, an editor, and one or more terms.
[15:08] <moritz__> So, does anyone else have an idea why my touchpad isn't working? :/
[15:09] <troubled> moritz__: tried checking the logs yet?
[15:09] <swordfish> sometimes virus will do it like that
[15:09] <oliver_> troubled: alright... how can i see the temp on my card?
[15:09] <swordfish> checkit out
[15:09] <troubled> oliver_: i use gkrellm myself, YMMV
[15:09] <moritz__> troubled: yep, xorg log says it loaded the driver and doesn't have any errors.
[15:10] <troubled> moritz__: and the trackpad is known to be working to begin with?
[15:10] <glich> quick question:what format to use on a pendrive:ext2,ext3,ext4,ntfs or reiserfs?
[15:10] <oliver_> amaurea: now, how can i do that?
[15:10] <moritz__> according to some ubuntu forum posts, yes
[15:10] <oliver_> troubled: thx, will try it
[15:10] <xguru> anyone have ati drivers working in lucid?  I have the following error.  http://www.pastie.org/
[15:10] <troubled> moritz__: no, I mean your actual trackpad. ie: is it broken, or did it work in windows or previously etc
[15:10] <amaurea> oliver_: I am looking for the page where I read about it now
[15:10] <TheEskimo> glitch: It depends. Do you want it to be accessable from any other OSs?
[15:11] <oliver_> amaurea: great
[15:11] <gerst> use fat32
[15:11] <moritz__> troubled: oh, yeah. works in windows.
[15:11] <lisnux> hi all :D
[15:11] <jagan185> hi everyone.
[15:12] <jagan185> Where are the files recieved over bluetooth stored in Ubuntu 10.04
[15:12] <glich> its for a portable firefox lol..to use only in linux
[15:12] <Raydiation> hi guys, i guess im not the only one, my network icon in the gnome panel, where i could see the network connections vanished
[15:12] <TheEskimo> glich: I would use ext3 or 4 than personally. It is actually not extremely important which you choose.
[15:12] <troubled> moritz__: xsetpointer help? xsetpointer -l, lists devices, xsetpointer <device>, should set it. might help to try force it maybe?
[15:13] <ben72> hi! I really need some help. I have an usb device which works randomly. I get a "/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) 'FATAL: Module usb:v0519p0007d0400dc00dsc00dp00icFFiscFFipFF not found." when it doesn't work..
[15:13] <glich> its using java and flash inside the pendrive,not the system plugins
[15:16] <moshisushi> if i add a new partition to unpartitioned space on a disk with fdisk, will writing the changes to destroy the old partitions?
[15:16] <moritz__> troubled: what format should the "device" be given to xsetpointer? neither the number nor the name from "xsetpointer -l" work. it says "Extended device 12 not found"
[15:17] <amaurea> oliver_: having trouble finding the page. still looking, but you might want to search for it yourself too
[15:17] <troubled> moritz__: no clue. i was wondering that myself. might be expecting a /dev/XXXXX name for all I know
[15:18] <ben72> moshisushi, I see no reason why they should if you don't remove them in fdisk
[15:18] <oliver_> amaruea: ok
[15:18] <moshisushi> ben72: good
[15:19] <oliver_> i have installed lm-senors and run sensors-detect but i cannot se my cpu temp... i have i intel i5
[15:20] <glich> oO
[15:21] <ryan_languagelab> greetings. i ran grub-install and now I can no longer access windows. Grub doesn't give me a menu of OSs to boot into. How can I put windows back on that menu?
[15:22] <ikonia> ryan_languagelab: why did you run grub-install ?

[15:23] <ryan_languagelab> ikonia, I had an old copy of Ubuntu, Windows 7, and Xubuntu. The old Ubuntu ran grub and every time the kernel was updated I had to manually update its menu.lst
[15:23] <ikonia> ryan_languagelab: ok, so there is still no need to run grub-install
[15:24] <ryan_languagelab> ikonia, how can I go about fixing it even though I did run it?
[15:24] <ikonia> ryan_languagelab: why did you really run it ?

[15:25] <madrid> Hi , I read this, and for this reason jaunty is better than lucid??, for me lucid is more heavy :
[15:25] <madrid> This distro part of the fantastic distro Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope", which is considered by the great community Ubunteros one of the best versions of Ubuntu, if not the best, in terms of quality and performance.

[15:26] <amaurea> ilovefairuz: thank you. I'll read thad and try pysdm
[15:26] <ikonia> ryan_languagelab: my suggestion would be to use a shared /boot partition for the pair of them, manualy put the windows entry back into the shared menu.lst and make sure the timeout option is set above 2 seconds so you can see the menu
[15:27] <capB> hi, I had windows installed and then installed ubuntu alongside it. Now, on loading, I get the windows boot screen which lets me choose ubuntu, and then the GRUB screen after I select ubuntu. How do I remove windows entirely and make sure the boot loader doesn't mess things up?
[15:27] <ryan_languagelab> ikonia, ok the thing is I'm not really sure what partition I should be doing this on
[15:27] <ikonia> ryan_languagelab: pick either the ubuntu or xubuntu one, but then make sure both ubuntu and xubuntu's fstab uses the same partition as boot
[15:28] <wizard_> anyone no of a program that will take my protect songs from Itunes and turn them into mp3 so I can add and play in XBMC ?
[15:28] <ikonia> ryan_languagelab: you'll then need to re-apply grub to point at that partition

[15:28] <ilovefairuz> capB: did you install using Wubi, the windows-based ubuntu installer  or on a separate partition ?

[15:29] <ikonia> capB: ubuntu is now based on your windows file system, so you can't remove it
[15:29] <ikonia> capB: you'll need to do a clean install on another partition for a proper seperate ubuntu install

[15:30] <dany> do you know if is there a way to get the name of the process that creates a file?
[15:30] <ikonia> madrid: it's not, this is your final warning
[15:30] <feltham83> HI ALL
[15:30] <ZykoticK9> capB, what ikonia is saying above basically is WUBI does not create a "stand-alone" type install, with WUBI you Ubuntu relies on windows (which is why i view it as a poor choice)
[15:30] <dairyman> does anyone know how i can fixthis? i cant access nautilus
[15:30] <ikonia> madrid: if you start this behaviour again, you will be removed
[15:30] <ryan_languagelab> ikonia, I only want to boot Xubuntu
[15:30] <ikonia> ryan_languagelab: ok, so remove your ubuntu partition
[15:30] <ilovefairuz> dany: no, but if the process still has it open, try lsof
[15:30] <ikonia> ryan_languagelab: and just use that one OS partition (xubuntu) to control it
[15:30] <dany> ilovefairuz:  lsof namefile?
[15:31] <feltham83> I have a problem, i can't login to my system using GNOME i can only do it using FAILSAFE GNOME. Anyone help?
[15:31] <ilovefairuz> dany: lsof | grep filename
[15:31] <troubled> dany: not unless its in use or it logged the fact to my knowledge (short of having a security auditing system that is setup to record such a thing). lsof might help
[15:31] <madrid> ikonia ok , not more censure please
[15:31] <capB> ikonia: wow, that is unexpected. Can I at least get rid of the windows boot screen.
[15:31] <ikonia> madrid: yes, that is the fact
[15:31] <ikonia> capB: no
[15:31] <dany> ok
[15:31] <dany> thank you :) I'm gonna try it

[15:34] <ikonia> wizard_: this isn't up for debate, if you don't like apples terms, talk to them or don't use it
[15:34] <troubled> dany: things like grsecurity or selinux might be configurable to audit such events though, but thats some serious time investment to setup stuff like that
[15:34] <dany> troubled: got it.. :(

[15:36] <giorgiofauzia> ciao
[15:36] <ikonia> suprengr: installing grub on a partition won't work, unless your board supports booting from a partition rather than the mbr

I can get the client to pxeboot and save a disk image... but getting it to pxeboot to restore an image fails with it hanging after the PXE menu screen.
[15:49] <troubled> dany: worst case, that one liner with the "while true...." loop, with a sleep of .1 or something crazy low should catch it eventually. just pipe it out to something like "tee" and have it logged so you can search the massive amount of output (or use grep to filter empty lines etc)

[16:04] <troubled> im guessing -o = ||

[16:09] <troubled> cheater99: although your way definetly seems like the better solution :)
[16:09] <cheater99> nope, it wasn't used with if/fi, it was just used to fail the script if the file isn't found

[16:13] <Turbolinux> Hello everyone. I am looking an easy solution for activating built-in 3G mobile modem on my Toshiba NB200 internet based notebook computer. Can I activate my mobile modem without configuring it in advanced way? Thank you for your help.
[16:13] <ubuntu-usr> wiretapped, ubuntu from usb works but after i add another distro to another folder there is need to add some lines in syslinux/menu.cfg
[16:14] <jasonmchristos> troubled: mailq returns blank
[16:14] <wiesshund> ubuntu-usr>>  oh your sticking multiples on 1 flashdrive? i misread then
[16:14] <mobal> Turbolinux: what is the type of the 3g modem?
[16:15] <troubled> jasonmchristos: well, nothing in the queue then. so if mail was sent, it was delivered somewhere. the mail logs should hopefully to you to whom (as per the /etc/aliases file most likely)
[16:15] <Turbolinux> Mobal: It's an integrated type mobile modem.
[16:15] <jasonmchristos> troubled: all blank
[16:15] <troubled> jasonmchristos: when you ran mailq, did it say "Mail queue is empty"?
[16:15] <mobal> i do
[16:15] <ruben23> hi guys any idea on how to set a kick start install of ENU- netbook edition of ubuntu..?

[16:16] <jasonmchristos> ive sent mail but never received it

[16:17] <ruben23> hi guys any idea on how to set a kick start install of ENU- netbook edition of ubuntu..?
[16:17] <ruben23> are there channels for Ubuntu netbook edition..?
[16:17] <microlith> TLF: not usually, you can try forcing it but bad things may happen
[16:17] <troubled> jasonmchristos: k, means it returned okay (error level 0), but that doesn't always mean much :) take a look in the /var/log/mail.* files for today. try tail -f one of them and send a test mail to yourself or root etc
[16:18] <jasonmchristos> troubled: how do i send a test mail as root?
[16:18] <xangua> ruben23: yes, this

[16:19] <Turbolinux> Mobal: I wrote my device brand and model as a previous message.
[16:19] <ruben23> any idea..? on creating a kick start install for ENU..?
[16:19] <troubled> jasonmchristos: well, dont need to send as root. just run something like "mail root", hit enter, type the subjetc, then type some garble and hit "." on a line by itself iirc to end it
[16:19] <mobal> Turbolinux: i read
[16:19] <xangua> ruben23: no idea
[16:19] <TLF> thanks, microlith
[16:19] <mobal> Turbolinux: google said it is an erricsson model. and i found this link. Try this: http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2008/12/07/how-to-use-an-att-ericsson-f3507g-card-on-ubuntu-intrepid/
[16:20] <troubled> jasonmchristos: just hit enter on the "CC:" field, then it will be sent. a good test  is to send email to the current username
[16:20] <jasonmchristos> i dont want to receive mail as root i want to get mail to my user though
[16:20] <jasonmchristos> the root account is locked
[16:20] <troubled> jasonmchristos: sure, but sure you want to verify the email system is working yes?
[16:20] <jasonmchristos> yes, i read somwhere i have to have an email sent so it will setup the local maildir
[16:21] <troubled> jasonmchristos: so you should be able to do "mail $USER<enter>" and send yourself an email. if that doesn't work, your MTA system is broken
[16:22] <NewtoLinux> hello

[16:31] <bihari> SGH-b520
[16:32] <troubled> jasonmchristos: this is a ubuntu system or debian?
[16:32] <jasonmchristos> ubuntu

[16:32] <bihari> sethil its SGH-B520 samsung mobile set and i cant able to connect it  in my ubuntu

[16:33] <Turbolinux> Mobal: Can you help me? Thank you.
[16:33] <troubled> jasonmchristos: well, maildrpo package in ubuntu has the maildirmake script with it, which is a procmail replacement by the looks of it. guess you could try install that
[16:35] <troubled> jasonmchristos: exim4 should be able to autocreate the maildir in the configured location though. not sure why yours wouldn't be unless the permissions are off or something. Why are you trying to manually make the dir, did any of the log files give you a hint in this direction, or is it just a guess?
[16:35] <NewtoLinux> troubled: how can i change the logon name on the top right in the panel next to the "shut down" button
[16:35] <bihari> can any one plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help me
[16:35] <troubled> jasonmchristos: also, if its exim4 instead of postfix, i think the mail logs go in /var/log/exim/mainlog or something
[16:35] <jasonmchristos> troubled: i dont get why i even need exim for local mail
[16:35] <troubled> NewtoLinux: perhaps System menu -> Preferences -> About me?
[16:35] <magicianlord> i wonder if i should uninstall the x applications and all and stick to console
[16:36] <magicianlord> it would give a more pure feeling
[16:36] <jasonmchristos> troubled: i thought exim was just for sending mail external
[16:36] <NewtoLinux> troubled: but i would like to change the name of the user
[16:36] <troubled> jasonmchristos: and locally. although you might be able to try something like procmail only instead of a full daemon, not sure, never tried
[16:37] <troubled> NewtoLinux: vipw? do you want to change the username or the full name in the GEcos field?
[16:37] <NewtoLinux> i changed the logon name but that only shows up at the logon prompt

[16:38] <pakair> NewtoLinux, you should have System|Admin|Users and Groups. Use that app to modify user info.
[16:38] <troubled> jasonmchristos: if anything, you can probably disable the daemon for just local delivery though. but the system needs some app in place to call for sending mail and delivering to the correct path
[16:38] <jasonmchristos> troubled: how would you personally tell a command to run at boot that needs sudo?
[16:39] <cheater99> troubled: thanks

[16:40] <capB> hi, I used unetbootin to make a USB bootable ubuntu, but when I reboot my pc tells me there is no available USB boot options
[16:40] <Turbolinux> Mobal: Can you say how must I copy the codes to the file?
[16:41] <troubled> jasonmchristos: well, I know on debian at least that mail likes to go to the spool dir in mbox format. so if your mail app was setup to use maildir, you wouldnt "see" the email unless it new to use mbox etc
[16:41] <pakair> NewtoLinux, logout and login again. It should refresh the user at the top right of the screen

[16:41] <nameda> capB: is it just going to the OS you have on your hard drive?

[16:43] <ManDay> Guys, I think I've made a HORRIFYING discovery: That is, every time you buy a copy of Windows you give a lot of money to Microsoft and therefore a lot of money to Bill Gates - and Bill gates donates a lot of money to charity, So every time you download Ubuntu you kill an African Child!
[16:43] <troubled> bihari: I don't even know how that connects, let alone how to help you. so I wouldnt say its simple :)
[16:44] <nameda> capB: If you can get to an interactive menu for picking what to boot off of, use that. My laptop doesn't passively boot from Removeable Media, even though it's set up that way in the BIOS
[16:44] <bihari> well when i by this set i got 1 cd which has  .exe file to install  but ubuntu doesnot support .exe file
[16:44] <wiesshund> ManDay>> eh we try our best

[16:44] <troubled> bihari: what are you trying to do anyways, teather internet through a phone or something?
[16:44] <magicianlord> ManDay: he gives it to a charity that wastes the money
[16:45] <ManDay> xangua: I know, I can hardly live with that guilt either...
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> bihari:  you use wine to install .exe's if yopu are lucky. However.. running an exe from a cd by double clicking on it. dosent work last ic hecked. use teh command line.
[16:45] <bihari> manday thats wrong !
[16:45] <magicianlord> donations are never used efficiently
[16:45] <erUSUL> ManDay: download ubuntu send *all* the money you have to a charity org. you do not need MS or bill gates as intermediaries
[16:45] <NewtoLinux> bihari: try to see if you can find linux driver for your samsung

[16:53] <pakair> NewtoLinux, you can rename the home dir
[16:53] <Turbolinux> ErUSUL: No I copied the codes under this file's ''Example'' section. I asked that is it right or is it wrong.
[16:53] <NewtoLinux> I did that
[16:53] <terrylm> New install of 10.04, kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[16:53] <NewtoLinux> but i couldn;'t even log on
[16:53] <ilovefairuz> cmayo: only with ubuntu or generally?
[16:53] <xangua> cmayo: #hardware ¿
[16:54] <cmayo> ilovefairuz: well, i only have ubuntu installed
[16:54] <rocket16> Hello all.
[16:54] <NewtoLinux> so i used the guest account to change back
[16:54] <iterative> erUSUL: no, I think this thing has issues --- I think I'm just going to reload it (I don't handle computer stress well)
[16:54] <bitplane_> Hi, downloading from a windows share is sloooooww. any tips on improving performance, or is it my router?
[16:54] <NewtoLinux> what i am saying is that my logon name is diff from what is showing up on the top
[16:54] <ikonia> bitplane_: are you accessing the windows computer over the internet ?
[16:54] <ilovefairuz> cmayo: are you using an acer? your battery may need replacement
[16:54] <terrylm> The root= line in grub had /dev/sda3 instead of UUID=..., so I tried UUID=... but that was the same result.
[16:54] <pakair> iterative, seem this is an error with dbus. Can you reboot your system?
[16:55] <cmayo> bitplane_: reduce resolution, reduce graphics
[16:55] <bitplane_> ikonia, no, just the network. over the internet would be faster
[16:55] <rocket16> Is there any decent alternative to OneNote yet? I really hate most MS products, but OneNote 2007 was truly great. I tried Basket, but it is for KDE, and I wish to have something in GNOME.
[16:55] <ikonia> bitplane_: ok - so why are you thinking your router is a problem ?
[16:55] <erUSUL> Turbolinux: well i'm in the same position as you. either yo trust the blog post or not ...
[16:55] <NewtoLinux> and i have logged out, and rebooted also
[16:55] <cory_cowgill> erSUL: Thanks for help. I have connected to my wireless network now. That was only issue I had while installing Ubuntu. Have a great day.
[16:55] <cmayo> ilovefairuz: no it's a toshiba... well, it's my girlfriends and the only way i can communicate with her this weekend while i'm gone, so i'm trying to fix it. hopefully it is just a glitch, i had her restart and see what happens
[16:55] <ikonia> bitplane_: is it slow for any other network activity over the lan ?
[16:55] <erUSUL> cory_cowgill: no problem
[16:55] <troubled> NewtoLinux: the name up there is your login name though, not your "full name"
[16:55] <asrj> hai to all
[16:55] <bitplane_> ikonia, I don't have any other network activity and I don't fancy installing server software to test it
[16:55] <iterative> pakair: sure, I'll reboot.  Another new development is when I reboot this laptop, it hangs at "Checking for running unattended-upgrades"
[16:55] <troubled> NewtoLinux: just wondering if you are expecting it to be properly spelled and punctuated like "Bob Smith"
[16:55] <iterative> pakair: it did that earlier and it's doing it again now
[16:56] <ilovefairuz> cmayo: did it start happening recently? dust could affect charging
[16:56] <NewtoLinux> troubled: that's my problem.. my loggin name is diff from what is visible on top
[16:56] <bitplane_> I do know that it's slower to download a file from the windows box than it is over the internet
[16:56] <ikonia> bitplane_: ping your windows machine, does it respond in a reasonable time
[16:56] <cmayo> ilovefairuz: yes, it just started... is there anything i can do?
[16:56] <NewtoLinux> troubled: no.. its a single word
[16:56] <Turbolinux> erUSUL: I trust but it doesn't tell the place for copying to the file. I want to know this because I don't want to do a mistake.
[16:56] <bitplane_> pings are tiny packets, smb is udp isn't it?
[16:56] <ilovefairuz> cmayo: clean dust, upgrade bios if newer version available or call support
[16:57] <troubled> NewtoLinux: the login manager I think displays the Full Name, not the login name, iirc
[16:57] <bitplane_> not ideal, but ~10ms ping time but latency isn't the issue here
[16:57] <pakair> NewtoLinux, you seem to do something wrong. First, create a user bob. It WILL create a /home/bob. Then change the name of bob to robert. The home dir does NOT change. You can manually rename /home/bob to /home/robert
[16:57] <troubled> id have to logout to verify that though. not exactly a screen I see often ;)
[16:57] <bitplane_> throughput is the problem
[16:57] <ikonia> bitplane_: ok, so why do you think this is an ubuntu issue if you know it's throughput ?
[16:57] <erUSUL> Turbolinux: it says; the file is /etc/sysfs.conf
[16:58] <bitplane_> ikonia, it was a question;  do other people see this problem, is throughput related to latency, are there changes I can make to increase speed?
[16:58] <thorns> How do I get the latest kernel in Lucid from Maverick for example?
[16:58] <ikonia> bitplane_: no-one else has this problem
[16:58] <pakair> iterative, somehow it does not see the Atheros. Search the Net, I dont have a quick answer, sorry.
[16:58] <ikonia> thorns: you can't
[16:58] <bitplane_> ikonia, do you use smb and get good speeds?
[16:58] <iterative> pakair: no worries, thanks a lot for your help!
[16:58] <ilovefairuz> bitplane_: mta ?
[16:58] <thorns> ikonia, hmm, no backports?
[16:58] <cmayo> what is a good itunes clone for linux?
[16:58] <ikonia> bitplane_: excellent speed
[16:58] <ikonia> thorns: no
[16:58] <Turbolinux> erUSUL: Yes but I don't know the specific place.
[16:58] <cmayo> rhythmbox or banshee?
[16:58] <xangua> cmayo: rhythmbox, banshee
[16:58] <erUSUL> cmayo: default Rhythmbox or banshee
[16:58] <ilovefairuz> cmayo: http://alternativesto.net
[16:58] <ikonia> bitplane_: I watch HD movies over it
[16:59] <senthil_> banshee..
[16:59] <Turbolinux> Is it right when I copy to under ''Examples'' area on this file?
[16:59] <NewtoLinux> pakair: i did that but when i tried to log back on it gave me 2 error messages and some authentication failure or something so i changed the home directory back using the guest account and things are back to normal
[16:59] <thorns> ikonia, any other third party solution to have the latest kernel release automatically installed in Ubuntu?
[16:59] <wackyshut> cmayo:prefer rhythmbox..
[16:59] <erUSUL> Turbolinux: the filenname tells you. directory /etc/ filename sysfs.conf
[16:59] <ikonia> thorns: no
[16:59] <bitplane_> I'm getting ~700k/sec which is fast enough to watch HD movies
[16:59] <feltham83> woop i managed to resolve my GNOME prob, switched visual effects on and off
[16:59] <bitplane_> it's over an hour to copy a dvd though
[16:59] <John--> I need some help, I accidently deleted my grub and ubuntu partition.
[17:00] <John--> And I burned a Ubuntu CD
[17:00] <John--> But it doesn't work correctly
[17:00] <John--> It only works in live mode
[17:00] <ilovefairuz> John--: boot livecd, and pastebin, fdisk -l
[17:00] <ikonia> John--: then you need to re-create a new partition and re-install ubuntu
[17:00] <bitplane_> John-- systemrestorecd.iso, see if you can recover the partition
[17:00] <Turbolinux> No no I want to know that is it right when I copy these codes under ''Examples'' area on this file.
[17:00] <pakair> NewtoLinux, if that's the case and you do have files under bob, first move them to /tmp, then delete user bob, create user robert and mv files from /tmp to /home/robert
[17:01] <NewtoLinux> no files this is a new installation.. my first
[17:01] <senthil_> Banshee got "banshee-extension-mirage" something similar to genius
[17:01] <John--> ilovefairuz: I did fdisk -l
[17:01] <erUSUL> Turbolinux: that is an absolute pathname.
[17:01] <ikonia> John--: you need to re-install ubuntu, which will also re-install grub for you
[17:01] <Bersam> hi all ... i have a wireless adaptor usb that installed and known by my ubuntu as default ... but i have a little problem :) when i made my connection and want to share internet over it ...
[17:01] <erUSUL> senthil_: hilarious results with mirage .... ( is uspect that is the same with genious )
[17:01] <ikonia> !ics | Bersam
[17:01] <Bersam> but new connection don't showen in my ipodtouch
[17:01] <pakair> NewtoLinux, so create users, delete users and see the changes. Linux is fun.
[17:01] <John--> ikonia: The thing is, my ubuntu cd doesn't work properly.
[17:02] <ikonia> John--: get another one
[17:02] <ilovefairuz> !pastebin | John--
[17:02] <terrylm> john--:  Years ago I mistakenly overwrote the partition tables on not one, but three drives!  I did get it all back, but it took a week and was a huge learning exp..
[17:02] <ikonia> John--: burn another one, buy one
[17:02] <ilovefairuz> Jone--: or use a usb desk
[17:02] <ilovefairuz> !unetbootin > John--
[17:03] <senthil_> erUSUL: Agreed... comparably hilarious :)
[17:03] <Turbolinux> ErUSUL: I can't tell you exactly I think. I know the path name and I copied but I am not sure is it right when I copied under ''Examples'' area on sysfs.conf file. I don't want to configure this file in a wrong way.
[17:03] <John--> I have a blank cd, but am I able to download on a live cd?
[17:03] <EruditeOgre> Ok, powertop is reporting that when I use my touchpad I'm getting tons of wakeups [Rescheduling Interrupts] Kernel IPI
[17:03] <ikonia> John--: yes you are
[17:03] <John--> Okay.
[17:03] <John--> I'll do that.
[17:03] <Turbolinux> This is the point.
[17:04] <John--> Thanks for the help.
[17:04] <EruditeOgre> Is this normal? Kinda new to Ubuntu/Linux
[17:04] <NewtoLinux> pakair: when i first installed ubuntu.. i had 2 accounts (ubuntu, guest) The ubuntu account had my first name under it which is what is showing up on the top right.. Then i changed the Ubuntu to read "The Master" but my first name is still showing up under "The Master".  So i went to cli and changed my home directory to read "Master" but then i couldn't log on so I changed everthing back
[17:06] <DummyMode> hi there..
[17:06] <bullgard4> My ssh link to a remote host now and then quits unexpectedly. I obtain: "Write failed: Broken pipe." What log should I look for for details?
[17:07] <rww> EruditeOgre: yup
[17:07] <DummyMode> I'm trying to set up openldap for my PDC, I'm using ubuntu 10.04, but cannot find slapd.conf, where is it? under /etc/ldap there is another structure which I do not know..
[17:07] <erUSUL> Turbolinux: i bet that the lines on the file can be anywhere in it.
[17:07] <bitplane_> bullgard4, record the connection using wireshark, debug TCP packets
[17:08] <Turbolinux> erUSUL: I understand so I will try to save under ''Examples'' are. I hope it will work.
[17:08] <NewtoLinux> pakair: did you get a chance to read my last comment
[17:08] <psyphercode> hi all, just upgraded to the latest kernel and it deleted my windows entry in grub.cfg. ran sudo grub-install and update-grub which didn't fix it. Reading the wiki it says you may not edit grub.cfg. could anyone pls assist?
[17:08] <bullgard4> bitplane_: Thank you very much for your help. I will do that.
[17:08] <DummyMode> or how can I tell openldap to use slapd.conf?
[17:08] <P67> bullgard4: Try connecting to the box using ssh -vvv (Super Verbose).. See where it drops out
[17:09] <bitplane_> bullgard4, it's probably due to a timeout or connection reset. not much you can do about it :(
[17:09] <bullgard4> P67: Thank you for your advice too.
[17:09] <P67> Welcome bullgard4
[17:09] <Archana_> Hi, according to a page in ubuntu geek.com anyone can login my ubuntu by using recovery mode... Isn't this a security vulnerabilty?
[17:10] <gafir> how can I leave X/Gnome GDM etc and go to shell only with Ubuntu?
[17:10] <erUSUL> Archana_: if someone has phisical access to your system all betas are off
[17:10] <bullgard4> bitplane_: At least I will get some more orientation.
[17:10] <Archana_> erUSUL, I don't understand your reply.
[17:10] <erUSUL> Archana_: you can set password in bios and in grub2 to make it more difficult to achieve though
[17:11] <bitplane_> Archana_, look into full disk encryption
[17:11] <Archana_> erUSUL, If posting that page here is against the rules, shall i send that to your pm ?
[17:11] <bitplane_> can't remember the name of the software
[17:11] <bitplane_> truecrypt
[17:11] <Archana_> erUSUL, please check that link in my pm. Isn't that a security vulnerabilty ?
[17:11] <erUSUL> Archana_: that even if recovery mode was anaviable if i'm in front you computer and can reboot it i can use a livecd or edit the grub menu myself
[17:11] <Archana_> bitplane_, Yes, i have truecrypt
[17:12] <Archana_> erUSUL, then, isn't this editting grub - one line a security vulner ?
[17:12] <bitplane_> Archana_, then they can't see your partition without a password anyway, you're safe
[17:12] <erUSUL> Archana_: again even if i can not edit grub i can use a livecd
[17:13] <reisio> someone have a solution to having meta key work for both panel_main_menu _AND_ meta+e, meta+d, etc.?
[17:13] <bitplane_> being able to get onto your system and install a hardware keylogger is a security vulnerability ;)
[17:13] <Archana_> erUSUL, Yes, my question is WHY should ubuntu allow this. Not all users can use truecrypt ..
[17:13] <bitplane_> keep your PC in a locked room!
[17:13] <Archana_> bitplane_, :-)
[17:13] <Archana_> erUSUL, isn't this a security vulnerablty ? :( ...
[17:14] <brahim> ola
[17:14] <brahim> ola
[17:14] <brahim> oi
[17:14] <brahim> hi
[17:14] <FloodBot1> brahim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:14] <bitplane_> Archana_, most users don't need military grade encryption, they want ease of recovery instead
[17:14] <erUSUL> Archana_: becouse disallowing it only porvides a *FALSE* sesnse of security
[17:14] <Archana_> brahim, Hi.
[17:14] <brahim> hi
[17:14] <brahim> -z
[17:14] <lys> hi
[17:14] <Archana_> brahim, stop flooding and ask support question if you have any.
[17:15] <knoppix> Hey Hell fell on me while upgrading from 8.04 to karmik 9.10 when downloads were completed packages unpacked and configuration was going on. Powercut! For two days I am struggling. Somehow found this knoppix livecd. Now, I have error msg: on recovery boot, my aptitude compels to do dpkg --configure -a but dpkg says the files are readonly. How to proceed please?
[17:15] <Archana_> bitplane_, Ok.
[17:15] <Rena_> brahim, para de mandar msg repetidamente, seja paciente e aguarde alguem conversar com vc
[17:15] <Archana_> erUSUL, Ok. But search on google results to that page :P ....
[17:15] <Archana_> Rena_, No use, he has gone .
[17:16] <Rena_> brahim, se for br, digita /join #ubuntu-br
[17:16] <bitplane_> knoppix, set the files to read-write?
[17:16] <Rena_> gone?! o0 sorry bb
[17:16] <IdleOne> Rena_: brahim has left the channel
[17:16] <knoppix> bitplane_, ok but which files?
[17:16] <capB> hi, how can I make the default panel in gnome the xfce panel instead of the gnome system panel?
[17:17] <bitplane_> maybe /var/cache/apt/archive
[17:17] <capB> also, is there a way to get the icon box applet for the xfce panel for the gnome panel
[17:17] <adi_> patreyou
[17:18] <adi_> jazda
[17:19] <m3r1ll> Idleone, ive got my grub problem fixed, but i lost the support page you posted. Can you list it again plz?
[17:19] <Turbolinux> What is name of the package that shows your hardware info?
[17:19] <IdleOne> !grub2 > m3r1ll
[17:19] <hardisk_> Hi
[17:19] <hardisk_> I have a weird problem with Torrents
[17:19] <IdleOne> m3r1ll: glad you got it fixed.
[17:19] <hardisk_> Just downloaded the Ubuntu 10.04 Iso via torrent with transmission, and the file is not in my computer..
[17:19] <hardisk_> Even if the download is over
[17:20] <hardisk_> it is supposed to be in /home/hardisk/téléchargement
[17:20] <hardisk_> It is not :/
[17:20] <m3r1ll> well i kinda just rigged the first loader, made the time on the first one 0 and hide the menu so i dont even see it
[17:20] <hardisk_> any idea,
[17:20] <hardisk_> ?
[17:20] <hardisk_> Locate and Find can't find it too
[17:20] <hardisk_> What happenned?
[17:21] <senthil> in Transmission; try  right click -on the torrent and click "Open Folder"
[17:21] <hardisk_> senthil, and?
[17:21] <hardisk_> senthil, It opened the folder
[17:21] <Geforce88> does openoffice.org have a chat room ?
[17:21] <NewtoLinux> hello helpers.. i still cannot seem to change the name visible on top right
[17:22] <hardisk_> senthil, the iso is not in it..
[17:22] <senthil> which folder it opens?
[17:22] <hardisk_> senthil, /home/hardisk/téléchargement
[17:22] <knoppix> bitplane_, can you guide where the dpkg files are please?
[17:22] <IdleOne> Geforce88: #openoffice.org
[17:22] <xangua> hardisk_: where do you got that torent¿ ubuntu.com ¿
[17:22] <un214> How do I stop apt-get dist-upgrade from installing new kernels?
[17:22] <hardisk_> xangua, yes
[17:23] <xangua> well i would suggest download it again hardisk_ S:
[17:23] <NewtoLinux> even though my login name is "Master" my first name is still showing as the person logged on
[17:23] <hardisk_> xangua, urgh, ok
[17:23] <IdleOne> !pinning | un214
[17:23] <un214> IdleOne: wrong answer
[17:23] <IdleOne> un214: bad question
[17:23] <un214> I don't need any kernel
[17:23] <Archana_> :)
[17:24] <IdleOne> un214: then I have no idea what you want
[17:24] <NewtoLinux> even though my login name is "Master" my first name is still showing as the person logged on
[17:24] <Archana_> un214, but you can remove them carefully excluding the latest...
[17:24] <Bersam> i set up my connection in ubuntu (with wireless adaptor) but still can't see it in my device(ipod touch)
[17:24] <Bersam> what should i do no ?
[17:25] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi all! Im having some smb performance issues and read in one forum that smbnetfs could be the solution. So I installed it, copied configfiles to .smb/ but then what? Can I just leave the mount in the fstab or should I remove that and mount it with smbnetfs? And how do I do that?
[17:25] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: Did you change your first name in the user accounts page?
[17:25] <un214> Actually Archana_: my ubuntu install is in a chroot jail
[17:26] <Archana_> un214, Good luck..!
[17:26] <NewtoLinux> EruditeOgre: you mean "user settings" under the "users and groups"|?
[17:26] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: Yes
[17:27] <NewtoLinux> yes i did
[17:27] <Geforce88> can i get openoffice help here? no one is in their channel
[17:27] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: So the account name is still your first name?
[17:27] <asrj> hai
[17:27] <NewtoLinux> on the left ther are 2 accounts one is "Master" and one is guest
[17:27] <lux``> hey guys
[17:27] <NewtoLinux> well ..
[17:27] <rlankfo> hola
[17:27] <asrj> i want your help- is any one help me for minitube
[17:27] <lux``> tar c dir > f.tar.gz should tar a whole directory and its files right?
[17:28] <lux``> I saw in the man that --recursion is on by default
[17:28] <lux``> but it's not workng :/
[17:28] <xangua> !anyone > asrj
[17:28] <troubled> lux``: no, just c and no z means dont use .gz filename
[17:28] <NewtoLinux> under the "Master" my first name is showing in gray and my first name is showing as the person logged on
[17:28] <troubled> lux``: tar -zcvf filename.tar.gz /path/to/some/dir
[17:28] <NewtoLinux> i want "Master" to be visible not my first name
[17:28] <rlankfo> lux``: tar -cvzf f.tar.gz dir/
[17:28] <lux``> uh but last time worked
[17:28] <lux``> oh well thx
[17:29] <pakair> NewtoLinux, I read your comments. Here's what I did, I created user bob, gave it a pass. Then clicked top right to switch from current user. I logged on as bob and on the top right is reads bob. I switched users again to my current user. It changed the top right again. I cannot tell what you're doing wrong.
[17:29] <lux``> is it the faster way rlankfo trollboy ? a store 0 is fine
[17:29] <troubled> lux``: well, tar c f.tar.gz /dir, would work, but it wouldnt be gzip even though you gave it that filename
[17:29] <pipegeek> How do I go about changing the time zone in lucid?  The date/time control panel appears to have changed, and that option is no longer presented.
[17:29] <rlankfo> pipegeek: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[17:29] <pipegeek> sure
[17:29] <pipegeek> but, I mean
[17:29] <lux``> it would be faster to do right troubled ?
[17:29] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: man usermod
[17:29] <pipegeek> is there no way to do it through the graphical interface?
[17:30] <pipegeek> that seems like a strange omission
[17:30] <rlankfo> oh idk, i only use CLI :P
[17:30] <pipegeek> lulz
[17:30] <rlankfo> i'm sure there is
[17:30] <troubled> lux``: without gzip? certainly. but then you would just do "tar c f.tar /dir" not f.tar.gz, which is lying about the file format
[17:30] <NewtoLinux> pakair: i know that should work but it is not
[17:30] <asrj> i run the minitube the message display "The file or folder www.youtube.com does not exist"
[17:30] <asrj> What i want to do
[17:30] <knoppix> Powercut  spoiled my karmik kola upgrade from Hardy. dpkg now complains about readonly files. Which files should I alter now please?
[17:30] <lux``> tar c 3.tar mangasimg/
[17:30] <lux``> tar: 3.tar: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
[17:30] <lux``> mm
[17:31] <NewtoLinux> pakair: when you created the account "bob" do you also see "bob" below "bob"
[17:31] <lux``> troubled, is it tar c file.tar dir/?
[17:31] <lux``> not working
[17:31] <troubled> lux``: sure, assuming dir/ is in the current dir
[17:31] <troubled> try use an absolute path
[17:31] <nameda> pipegeek: it's under the administration menu, as the date time option; pretty sure it's there and locked so people without admin can't change clock
[17:31] <NewtoLinux> pakair: in users and groups i mean
[17:32] <lux``> samething troubled
[17:32] <rlankfo> troubled: try fc
[17:32] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: man usermod < Tells you all about how to go about changing it.
[17:32] <pipegeek> nameda: Strangely absent.  I'll see if it's hidden.
[17:32] <rlankfo> er lux`` : fc
[17:32] <lux``> i'm sure it worked yesterday :/
[17:32] <knoppix> Please guide to unlock files spoiled during dpkg upgrade.
[17:32] <lux``> okay
[17:32] <troubled> oops ya need -f
[17:32] <troubled> my bad
[17:32] <NewtoLinux> EruditeOgre: i'm trying that thanks
[17:32] <pakair> NewtoLinux, there is only one bob in the Users and Groups. Why do you see two?
[17:32] <pipegeek> nameda: actually just not there
[17:32] <pipegeek> this is a fresh install
[17:32] <nameda> pipegeek:I use cardapio for my menu, so it might just be different
[17:32] <troubled> lux``: also, "f" has to come right before the filename, so "tar cf 3.tar dir/" NOT "tar fc 3.tar dir/"
[17:32] <pipegeek> hehe, ok
[17:33] <nameda> lemme check something
[17:33] <pipegeek> thx
[17:33] <pipegeek> At this point, I'd just like to know that it's possible :)
[17:33] <lux``> # tar cf 3.tar mangasimg/
[17:33] <pakair> NewtoLinux, there is bob (bold) and under it bob (italics, gray)
[17:33] <lux``> the dir is 30gb...
[17:33] <lux``> the file 3.tar is few kb
[17:33] <lux``> wtf :/?
[17:33] <mimmo> we
[17:33] <FloodBot1> lux``: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:33] <NewtoLinux> pakair: yes that's what i mean
[17:34] <nameda> pipegeek: Not in System > Administration > Date and Time?
[17:34] <rlankfo> lux``: if it's 30gb i would tar -xvjf dir.tar.bz2 dir/
[17:34] <NewtoLinux> now change the "bob" to Mike and you will see the "bob" in italics remains
[17:34] <nameda> or time and date
[17:34] <pipegeek> nope.   That menu option is absent, nor is it in the menu editor
[17:34] <lux``> rlankfo, no that would take years, a .tar is fine
[17:34] <troubled> rlankfo: s/x/c/
[17:34] <pipegeek> I remembered that too, but I think it may have disappeared with the upgrade to lucid
[17:34] <pipegeek> or, rather, with the reinstall to lucid
[17:34] <NewtoLinux> and bob will still show up as logged on
[17:34] <lux``> I need to transfer it to another server and untar, it's faster to transfer big as it is without compression
[17:35] <rlankfo> troubled: yeah :)
[17:35] <troubled> :)
[17:35] <lux``> still it's not working, but yesterday worked, same command i have it in the scrollback
[17:35] <pakair> NewtoLinux, one is the display name (bold), the other is the user name (italics).
[17:35] <Geforce88> is there a way to upgrade and bypass a broken openoffice.org install ?
[17:35] <DivineBrevity> Is anyone here familiar with the Pinnacle Dazzle Capture Device and Lucid?
[17:35] <pipegeek> nameda: If you have it, what's the name of the actual executable that provides that control panel, so I can look up what package provides it?
[17:35] <DivineBrevity> GeForce, have you tried reinstallation?
[17:36] <Geforce88> DivineBrevity,  trhats the weird, thing, the upgrade , fails
[17:36] <NewtoLinux> pakair: did you change "bob" to Mike\/
[17:36] <nameda> pipegeek:time-admin; it's a part of gnome's control set
[17:36] <Geforce88> DivineBrevity,  i mean reinstallation : http://pastebin.com/A07R5pBj
[17:36] <pipegeek> :-\
[17:36] <DivineBrevity> Can you mark for complete removal, then try to reinstall?
[17:36] <nameda> just remake the manu item? that's weird for it to just up  and vanish
[17:36] <Geforce88> complete removal fails via package m,anager
[17:36] <NewtoLinux> pakair: if you change "bob" to Mike you will see that "bob" is still logged on
[17:37] <pipegeek> Indeed it is.  And it's installed; there's just no menu entry.  que bizarre
[17:37] <Geforce88> http://pastebin.com/A07R5pBj
[17:37] <pakair> NewtoLinux, yes, I changed the display name to Robert. IT shows Robert (bold), bob (italics). bob is the user name and there exists /home/bob
[17:37] <nameda> might wanna file that as a bug, if you can figure out how you did it
[17:37] <NewtoLinux> pakair: Rigght
[17:37] <DivineBrevity> That is strange. I
[17:37] <NewtoLinux> now you will that bob is still logged on
[17:38] <jabba> hello
[17:38] <NewtoLinux> if you now go and rename your home dir to "Robert" you will not be able to log on
[17:38] <pipegeek> nameda: I'll look into it.  Gotta go board my flight now :)
[17:38] <DivineBrevity> GeForce, did you try to remove it with the "software center?"
[17:38] <pipegeek> thanks d00d
[17:39] <jabba> which software can i use to mux a dts-audio stream to a mkv video?
[17:39] <Geforce88> DivineBrevity,  yes. it's broke big time. look at this if you have time :: http://pastebin.com/RNzZNwVL
[17:39] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: Did you read about usermod?
[17:39] <nameda> pipegeek: no biggie, I'm waiting for a flight now too
[17:39] <pipegeek> haha
[17:39] <troubled> jabba: ffmpeg maybe?
[17:39] <EruditeOgre> You'll probably have to boot to recovery mode to change things
[17:40] <Sixxor> Hello. My friend installed ubuntu 10.4 on my mothers cpu when he visited here. But he set a passwd for the user and he cant remember what it was. What am i to do ?
[17:40] <pakair> NewtoLinux, you need to read on UNIX user names. Changing /home/bob to /home/robert will not work. You need to edit the password file and other things

[17:41] <Sixxor> Hello. My friend installed ubuntu 10.4 on my mothers cpu when he visited here. But he set a passwd for the user and he cant remember what it was. What am i to do ?
[17:41] <EruditeOgre> Sixxor: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-recover-password-under-ubuntu.html
[17:41] <pakair> NewtoLinux, the pass file has the user and the login dir. Read on the password file and the fields it contains.
[17:43] <NewtoLinux> pakair: yes.. i came across a tut once but seems complicated to make so many changes.. perhaps it would be easier to create a new account ?

[17:49] <nhandler> Does anyone know of a way to detect left/right/middle mouse clicks in a bash script? It looks like I can possibly parse /dev/input/mice, but there is very little information about this that I could find.

[17:51] <monkey_dust> guys - I'm unable to install the flash-plugin for chromium or firefox - is this a known issue and is there a solution?
[17:51] <NewtoLinux> how can i hide who has left and who has joined in the "channel" window
[17:51] <EruditeOgre> monkey_dust: Flash should install just fine for firefox.
[17:51] <nhandler> NewtoLinux: Use your client's /ignore command
[17:51] <EruditeOgre> Installing for chrome is a bit more involved.
[17:51] <monkey_dust> EruditeOgre, it does not, that's why I'm asking
[17:51] <NewtoLinux> i'm using web client
[17:52] <nhandler> NewtoLinux: The freeonde one? If so, I do not believe it supports hiding that info.
[17:52] <NewtoLinux> nhandler: ok
[17:52] <xangua> monkey_dust: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ¿

[17:55] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: You could always install ChatZilla. It automatically hides that information.

[17:58] <saidi> hi, how can i install man pages section 2 (system calls)?
[17:58] <Djchat> exit
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> NorthByNorthWest: use ifconfig and look at the rate option
[17:59] <soreau> saidi: What makes you think it isnt installed already?
[17:59] <EruditeOgre> saidi: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
[18:00] <saidi> soreau, when showing it with xman..
[18:00] <slidinghorn> CaNoc, most of the issues I'm seeing with this error are fixed with updates:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[18:00] <NorthByNorthWest> ActionParsnip: thanks... i run 'man ifconfig' but cant find anything about rate...?
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> NorthByNorthWest: also make sure both interfaces support 100Mbps or whatever you expect
[18:01] <NewtoLinux> xangua: EruditeOgre which is the best chat client to install.. is one better than the other.. which one has most all the features
[18:01] <monkey_dust> !best| NewtoLinux
[18:01] <NorthByNorthWest> ActionParsnip: well from another computer I get 50 Mbit/s from the same NAS

[18:02] <terrylm> Hi all, does 10.04 use an initrd file to boot? I don't seem to have one, could be my problem?
[18:03] <NewtoLinux> sorry i'm new to all this.. i don't know where to go for what
[18:03] <slidinghorn> CaNoc, I can't verify the authenticity of this post, as the OP only has 1 post in the forums, but it may be worth looking into...be sure to read *all* commands before performing any: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1422072

[18:03] <ActionParsnip> NorthByNorthWest: using the same cable?
[18:03] <Guest62284> any help with drivers (intel 3945) and wifi for backtrack 4?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> NorthByNorthWest: http://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=71827    bit weird, worth a try though

[18:08] <terrylm> Ooops, connection dropped... did I miss an answer?
[18:08] <bullgard4> What is the reason that Ubuntu today offers to upgrade to 10.04.1 today ahead of time?
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> Guest62284: probably because you are one of those fools who logs in as root
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> Guest62284: so youor default nick will be root, there will be a tonne of other fools with the same nick so you get a randomly generated one
[18:08] <soreau> ActionParsnip: why call people fools? is it even possible to login as root on ubuntu?
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> soreau:  not by default.
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> soreau: running an irc client as root is pretty dumb
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> 'running anything as root thats not needed
[18:09]  * wiesshund me logs in as root on embeded linux :(  <excuse, has no choice>
[18:09] <soreau> Yea but that is not likely so you shouldnt jump to conclusions
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> 'running anything as root thats not needed = major security type issue' :)
[18:09] <soreau> especially when it involves name calling :P
[18:09] <Segura> Hi, I have downloaded a chmod script and It crash in the 13 line, any idea why? http://pastebin.com/1M5rcj3Q
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> soreau: look at the info of the nick, gives it away
[18:09] <saidi> soreau, now it's installed, after installing manpages-dev package
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> Segura: I'd ask in #perl
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> Segura:  you prioberly need to install some perl module/support packages for 'gtk'
[18:10] <EruditeOgre> saidi: :)
[18:10] <Segura> okey thx
[18:10] <abhijit> hello friends :)
[18:10] <soreau> saidi: It was already installed here.. unless some other dev package pulled it in some time ago
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> !hi | abhijit
[18:10] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, :)
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> Segura:  read the script.. line 3 --> # A GUI for chown, chgrp and chmod. Requires perl and perl-gtk
[18:11] <soreau> saidi: or unless you arent using regular ubuntu
[18:11] <saidi> EruditeOgre, thank you :)
[18:11] <kop_> regular ubuntu ?
[18:11] <jNovice> Hi. I have coputer wiht Athlon 1,4 Ghz and with 1,5gb ddr. Will be Xbuntu 10.04 much more faster on this hardware than Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[18:11] <saidi> soreau, i'm using 9.10
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Segura: Dr_Willis: doesnt nautilus already have that feature?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> jNovice: XUbuntu will be faster on any hardware as it is leaner than gnome and kde
[18:11] <xangua> jNovice: better try lubuntu if you want faster
[18:12] <aeon-ltd> jNovice: 1.5 gb hdd?
[18:12] <abhijit> !who | kop_
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  proberly does. :)
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> jNovice: there is also LUbuntu which will hopefully get official status and is lihter still
[18:12] <wiesshund> aeon-ltd>> 1.5gb ddr ram
[18:12] <aeon-ltd> wiesshund:  my bad, skim read it
[18:12] <wiesshund> hehe
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> lubuntu is looking perttier now in 10.10 also -> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/new-artwork-for-lubuntu-1010-maverick.html
[18:13] <jNovice> aeon-ltd i'm wrote 1,5gb ddr :P
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: yeah theres still a few niggles though
[18:13] <aeon-ltd> jNovice: what would be better is either lubuntu, or get stock ubuntu and strip it down, and use *boxes as your wm and a light panel like tint2
[18:13] <jNovice> xangua ActionParsnip i'm not very professional user, it will be harder to use Lubuntu than Ubuntu ?
[18:14] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, have you installed lubuntu on ubuntu?
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> jNovice:  lighter - some features may not be there normally..
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> jNovice: more guides are for Ubuntu, I'd use that until you get familiar. You can install LXDE later for a more responsive system if you find it slow
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> jNovice:  so yes it might be a little harder to do some things.. they use different apps for most everything.. some m ay be easier
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  last time i did that.. it had 'issues'
[18:14] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, hello its me abhi_nav :) this is my new nick :)
[18:14] <slidinghorn> jNovice, all desktop environments will have their own quirks, but the underlying purpose is pretty similar.  you shouldn't have problems making the switch.
[18:14] <nameda> jNovice: There's always Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I'm using that on my primary right now, with the custom WM disabled
[18:15] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, so you will recommend me to do it or not? I mean installing lubuntu on my cutely running ubuntu?
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> jNovice:  you could roll your own 'light' desktop depending on your needs.
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  test it out via a live cd first. You may hate it.
[18:15] <schlaftier> Segura: probably libgtk2-perl is the package you need
[18:15] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, ok. Thanks :)
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  last i tried it. the thing remioved network-manager and installed wicd.. which was a bit of a bother.
[18:16] <terrylm> Can someone using 10.04 look in their /boot directory and tell me if they do or do not have a file like initrd-something.img or initrd.img-something?
[18:16] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, I see
[18:16] <Segura> Dr_Willis, perl OK, perl-gtk not in the repositories
[18:16] <schlaftier> Segura: probably libgtk2-perl is the package you need
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  and i cant stand the file manager they used. There was an issue (ages ago) where some how installing lubuntu-desktop also set the gnome default fuile manager to be the pcmanfm, which i found VERY annoying.
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> Segura:  use the search feature of the package manager.. or see what schlaftier  suggested
[18:17] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, ok
[18:17] <Segura> I already had that package
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> pcmanfm is sweet, super slick
[18:18] <jNovice> ok, thank you all. First I will try xbuntu, and on VM on more powerfull hardware I will check lubuntu :)

[18:26] <john38> BluesKaj, i want to hear computer content on Tv's built in speakers i dont want to hear sound from desktop speakers
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  same here. no idea when it changed. :)
[18:26] <advorak> Dr_Willis: the upgrade destablized my ubuntu installation in VirtualBox
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> advorak:  you did file a bug?  You can edit the grub cfgs to set the default kernel.
[18:27] <BluesKaj> john38, remove thedesktop speaker wire connection and then do as I posted above.
[18:27] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: The question is why it came out prematurely or "ahead of time".
[18:28] <wiesshund> bitplane_>>  half-life series, fear1
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  as far as i know the x.x.1 stuff is mainly when they send out a new 'default' cd.   Not really a 'big' jump in the packages avail. they just roll all the updates into the new iso
[18:29] <bitplane_> thanks wiesshund :)
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  so in 'theory' if you did a clean install from a X.X.1 cd. you souldent have 200+ mb of updates right at teh start
[18:29] <bitplane_> I'll check out fear 1
[18:29] <josephseraos_> thanks
[18:30] <josephseraos_> how do I change my nickname?
[18:30] <abhijit> josephseraos_, /nick <newnick>
[18:30] <slidinghorn> josephseraos_, /nick newnickname
[18:30] <advorak> Dr_Willis: I was looking in grub.cfg before, and it pointed me to /etc/default/grub .. It just didn't hit me .. I'll try playing with GRUB_DEFAULT= :-)
[18:30] <ssoxygen__> I am developing an open source (GPL v3) project to apply KDE's oxygen icons to Windows. I want to know whether I am permitted to incorporate Ubuntu's human icon set and offer that as an option (Ubuntu's human icon theme is under a CC-BY-SA license, AFAIK). If I am permitted, then must I state that the Human icon set is under a different license?
[18:30] <wiesshund> bitplane_>>  ive also ran doom3 diablo2 (non steam) and wow in linux no probs. that about the only games ive got. im sure lot sof others work as well
[18:30] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: I hope that a major portions of the bugs which I reported to Launchpad will have been fixed in 10.04.1.
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> advorak:  theres a 'saved' option thats lets you use some command line tools
[18:31] <advorak> daftykins: thanks.  I was there, but I couldn't find what I was looking for .. but GRUB_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub seems most appropriate...
[18:31] <rww> bullgard4: 10.04 + regular system updates = 10.04.1. If they haven't been fixed by updates to 10.04, they're not going to be fixed in 10.04.1
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  it dosent work that way.. if you update/upgraded regullary. you should have an identical system to whatever 10.04.1 is. Its not like they released 200+ fix's just for 10.04.1
[18:31] <preecher> ive been using ubuntu for about 3 years and i used to have windows and ubuntu -now i only have ubuntu because i wiped my windows restore area on my harddrive by mistake-i dont really need windows but i did use to have video and voice chat on yahoo messenger with out of state relatives and now i can only use empathy and pidgin and such and i have been unable to have the audio/video---does it work in ubuntu ? or is this only somethi
[18:31] <preecher> ng that works in windows? can someone help me please
[18:31] <soreau> john38: Your tv only has svideo in, no audio inputs?
[18:32] <xangua> preecher: try gyache fot audio/video in yahoo
[18:32] <wiesshund> ssoxygen__>>  ive no idea on the licensing part, but doesnt litestep already have a theme like that?
[18:32] <abhijit> preecher, video and audio chat works well in ubuntu in empathy or pidgin
[18:32] <Zolomon> This isn't really ubuntu related but I don't really know where to turn.. I just got my hands on a http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12722_div/12722_div.HTML - but I don't have the original adapter. I have a universal adapter that I'm unsure about whether I can use or not. What voltage is needed?
[18:32] <bullgard4> rww, Dr_Willis Thank you for commenting.
[18:33] <abhijit> Zolomon, may be try in ##hardware?
[18:33] <wiesshund> Zolomon>>  4-cell (32 WHr) Lithium-Ion  i believe is 6 volt?
[18:33] <xangua> abhijit preecher voice and video in empathy/pidgin works only in jabber
[18:34] <bitplane_> Zolomon, you can get a universal adapter with a bunch of different connections and adjustable voltage
[18:34] <abhijit> xangua, I see
[18:34] <bitplane_> it will say the voltage on the bottom of your laptop
[18:34] <preecher> xangua i appreciate ygachi info but i was in here last night and we never got it to work something about it not working in 10.4 according to the one helping me last night --abhijit i must be doing something wrong cause i cant get it to work in pidgin or empathy on the yahoo protocol
[18:34] <Zolomon> bitplane_: Yeah, I have one like that. I'm just not sure if something might break if I use the wrong voltage..
[18:34] <wiesshund> Zolomon>>  while you can always start at low voltage, you only get one chance at polarity, check it very good before hand
[18:34] <Zolomon> bitplane_: I tried to look but there was nothing on the bottom
[18:35] <ssoxygen__> @wiesshund:This program is supposed to change most of your windows icons to icons from Linux themes. Its basically for linux lovers stuck on windows. The thing is under the GPL, and incorporating the human theme will mean including CC Sharealike code into the program. Does this mean that Ill have to relicense all the code under the CC-BY-SA
[18:35] <josephseraos> is this channel the same of irc.ubuntu.com ?
[18:35] <wiesshund> Zolomon>>  and yes if you over juice it, it will probably fry it, but that battery pack i believe is 6 volts
[18:35] <Zolomon> tell wiesshund: polarity? I live in Sweden - never had to worry about polarity before..? :S
[18:35] <jonathan> josephseraos: yes, it's the same server
[18:35] <Zolomon> tell wiesshund: Thanks!
[18:35] <abhijit> I never heard about irc.ubuntu.com. does it really exists?
[18:36] <rww> abhijit: irc.ubuntu.com is an alias to irc.freenode.net.
[18:36] <LjL> abhijit: it's just an alias to freenode
[18:36] <wiesshund> Zolomon>>  LOL in sweden DC current has polarity too
[18:36] <advorak> Dr_Willis: thanks, I'll look at the Saved section. :-)
[18:36] <rww> or chat.freenode.net. or something.
[18:36] <abhijit> rww, LjL ok
[18:36] <abhijit> hmm

[18:37] <preecher> if i get a jabber account will that make my audio/video work on the yahoo protocol in pidgin?
[18:37] <abhijit> wiesshund, its ok
[18:37] <rww> How do I purge deleted messages in mutt without closing and reopening the mailbox?
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> preecher: is gyache still not built on its ppa?
[18:38] <xangua> preecher: no
[18:38] <Zolomon> EruditeOgre: Thanks! I guess I can't use my adapter then, capped at 12V. :/
[18:38] <xangua> ActionParsnip: in the ppa there is no version for lucid
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Xangua: gotcha
[18:38] <preecher> ActionParsnip i dunno i dunno  what that means
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> preecher: nm, xangua cleared it up
[18:39] <sebsebseb> Hi
[18:39] <preecher> what is ppa
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> !ppa | preecher
[18:39] <EruditeOgre> rww: $
[18:39] <EruditeOgre> also known as <sync-mailbox>
[18:40] <sebsebseb> Dr_Willis: oh that factoid has  changed a bit, still pretty useless though unless the link explains it propery
[18:40] <rww> EruditeOgre: thanks
[18:40] <preecher> ActionParsnip do i need a ppa
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: the link let's you search the launchpad ppas. Pretty useful
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> preecher: there's a gyache ppa which does cam and voice for yahoo but the ppa doesn't have a lucid folder
[18:41] <sebsebseb> preecher: Ubuntu tends to only do security updates, and so a ppa is a way to add repos yourself, to get later versions of software, if you don't want to wait untill the next Ubuntu release (or change distro to one that already has that software).  Shoudn't install to many ppas, because they are only semi supported, and sometimes can cause issues with your install.
[18:41] <sebsebseb> preecher: and installing from a ppa would be easier than compileing a program from source
[18:42] <hiromi> sebsebseb, of course
[18:42] <hiromi> sebsebseb, a ppa is a personal repository of packages, you add it once and it just works :)
[18:42] <preecher> i dont know how to compile -so more or less i cant audio/video on the yahoo protocol?
[18:43] <sebsebseb> hiromi: or it maybe messes up the system,  if its a malicious ppa for example
[18:43] <abhijit> !compile | preecher
[18:43] <hiromi> sebsebseb, well that could happen, true :)
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> preecher: if there is another client or another ppa then yes
[18:43] <preecher> ActionParsnip how can i find out
[18:48] <preecher> i just looked at the ygachi page again- if i install a older ubuntu that ygahchi will work on will that be ok instead of using 10.4?
[18:51] <EruditeOgre> preecher: https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa
[18:51] <gharz> guys, is it safe to install ubuntu on top of windowz 7 using wubi?
[18:51] <gharz> !wubi
[18:51] <gharz> i'm concern about the boot up system if wubi can automatically configure the boot configuration of windowz 7
[18:51] <EruditeOgre> preecher: It's got 1.2.9-0.1 for lucid
[18:51] <gharz> some clarifications, please.
[18:52] <coz_> gharz,  I have not tried but based on some of the comments on this channel I would say it is tentative at best
[18:52] <gharz> coz_: ok.
[18:52] <gharz> thanks!!!!
[18:52] <gharz> i'll do that
[18:52] <coz_> gharz,   why not simply install ubuntu on its own partition?
[18:52] <wonderworld> hey, i need an english native speaker. What would you say if a guy fights with a dog for a ball?
[18:52] <wonderworld> fight about the ball?
[18:52] <wonderworld> fight for a ball?
[18:52] <preecher> EruditeOgre i think that is for 64bit i tried that one last night
[18:52] <coz_> wonderworld,  i would say it is off topic
[18:52] <henkpostma> fight over a ball
[18:53] <coz_> wonderworld,  fights over the ball
[18:53] <gharz> coz_: coz it's easier for me to delete ubuntu and i don't have to reconfigure the mbr... besides i don't have CD available :( it's running on a daemon tools
[18:53] <wonderworld> coz_: nah, it's the name finding process for an ubuntu version
[18:53] <gharz> ;)
[18:53] <wonderworld> thanks guys
[18:53] <henkpostma> I have a problem with two files disappearing after rebooting after kernel upgrade
[18:53] <coz_> gharz,  ah ok welll... then give it a whirl
[18:53] <gharz> coz_: thanks!
[18:54] <EruditeOgre> preecher: Don't know. It doesn't say anything on the PPA about being 64-bit only
[18:54] <henkpostma> it is /var/run/screen, which I was able to recreate, and /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p which means my sound is not working now
[18:54] <preecher> EruditeOgre ill try again
[18:59] <henkpostma> does anybody know how to recreate this sound device /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
[19:00] <EruditeOgre> henkpostma: are your drivers for your sound card installed properly?
[19:00] <ub123> hi, i got a usb livecd and a corrupt harddisk (i think), but when i choose 'live cd' it just starts giving endless errors 'ata1.00: failed command: read DMA' etc
[19:01] <henkpostma> EruditeOgre: they were working before the kernel upgrade
[19:01] <ub123> how can i make it ignore the harddisk and just do it from memory?
[19:01] <coz_> ub123,  when starting the live cd  choose the "check cd " options to be sure the disk is not corrupted
[19:01] <henkpostma> EruditeOgre: so I presume they were installed properly
[19:01] <ub123> ok i will
[19:02] <coz_> ub123,  if the hard drive is corrupt  and you have nothing on it that you need to save
[19:02] <ub123> i do unfortunately :(
[19:02] <coz_> ub123,  you can then us a utility that can be burned to disk named   Dban
[19:02] <EruditeOgre> henkpostma: Check to see if they are still working.
[19:02] <Number5_> Hello, is it possible to use Skype on Ubuntu???
[19:02] <coz_> ub123,  that will write zeros to the drive  and if it is not a bad hard drive it should be free of any problems
[19:03] <EruditeOgre> henkpostma: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[19:03] <ub123> coz_, im trying to save some data from it.. but it's not working
[19:03] <coz_> Number5_,  it is  yes   but you may have to install ubuntu tweak which had a skype repository for  ubuntu
[19:03] <chris_osx> Number5_: sure
[19:03] <henkpostma> EruditeOgre: there are a few devices that look similar /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c etc
[19:03] <coz_> ub123,  I see... and you cannot access that disk at all ?
[19:03] <ub123> it just tries to boot the live cd (from usb) for hours, giving endless 'ata' errors
[19:03] <xangua> coz_ Number5_ skype is in the partner repos
[19:03] <oshi> Number5: sudo apt-get install skype worked for me
[19:03] <xangua> !partner | coz_ Number5_
[19:03] <coz_> xangua,   ah cool to know thanks
[19:03] <Number5_> Well how can I get one if there is?
[19:04] <ub123> i dont know what i would do to access it
[19:04] <Number5_> I'm new to ubuntu...
[19:04] <coz_> ub123,   mmm hold on
[19:04] <sebsebseb> !skype | Number5_
[19:05] <NewtoLinux> hello.. i installed chatzilla.. now how do i make it appear in the "guest" account?
[19:05] <coz_> ub123,   look here maybe    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=250165
[19:05] <BluesKaj> NewtoLinux, ask in #chatzilla
[19:05] <coz_> ub123,   or here   http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/
[19:05] <EruditeOgre> NewtoLinux: Install it in firefox on the guest account?
[19:05] <xangua> NewtoLinux: the gues account doesn't save setting, better istan a single irc cliente like xchat
[19:06] <Tempus_> hello all hey I have the live in my drive and it gave me the package manger before but now its not giving me that option, Im using my android phone to tether for internet, how do I get back to the package manager to reinstall some items I am missing
[19:06] <EruditeOgre> Oh, didn't knwo the guest doesn't save settings
[19:06] <NewtoLinux> EruditeOgre: i installed it in the admin account .. now i have to reinstall it in the guest as well
[19:07] <ghoti> Is there a way I can get `dig` to tell me which nameserver is handing out my request?  If the first nameserver in resolv.conf fails, I'd like to know if fault results I'm seeing are from a broken nameserver.
[19:07] <coz_> Tempus_,  not sure but you could try  from terminal  update-manager
[19:07] <Tempus_> coz_: ok will try that ty
[19:08] <ub123> coz_: that can only work once the livecd boot ups,, which it doesnt
[19:08] <coz_> ub123,  ooooo ok
[19:08] <henkpostma> EruditeOgre: I went over the link you posted, all modules are loaded and sound card is shown
[19:09] <NewtoLinux> so if i want to install a package or any addons and give other (selective) users permission, how can i do that
[19:09] <coz_> ub123,   well  unless you have another system that you can plug that system's hard drive in via usb  I am not sure then how to access it..unless you stick in the windows cd and do recovery  if in fact what is on that hard drive is windows
[19:09] <RealEyes> hey guys... I had my pc on screensaver all night. When I got back on, it wouldnt come out of screensaver mode...
[19:10] <yellowriver> nick LearnToSwim
[19:10] <ZykoticK9> RealEyes, try ctrl+alt+f1 and see if you get a terminal (do determine if the system is hung), ctrl+alt+f8 to get back to GUI i believe or f7
[19:10] <henkpostma> RealEyes:  drop to tty1 (CTRL-ALT-F1) and run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' to restart X, but it will drop any running programs, so you might loose unsaved data
[19:11] <RealEyes> i lost my conky uptime :/
[19:11] <RealEyes> I just hard booted it
[19:11] <henkpostma> RealEyes: that will do it too :)
[19:11] <NewtoLinux> any thoughts
[19:11] <Tempus_> coz_: well I got an option to update online but not the packages I need to reinstall ....grrrr for some reason I cant login through gnome splash screen cuz I accidentally deleted the login.keyring when I was trying to remove the default.keyring
[19:12] <RealEyes> New question: I'm dual booting win7 and Ubuntu; Whenever I start my PC, the boot screen shows TWO copies of Ubuntu generic, how do i make it show only one?
[19:12] <coz_> Tempus_,  oooo  then I am at aloss   I am sure someone here can help and if not you could try ##linux channel  although this is specific to ubuntu they may hav options
[19:12] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: uhmm yeah
[19:12] <coz_> be back In a bitg
[19:12] <RealEyes> <.<;
[19:12] <coz_> bit
[19:12] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: When you install new kernels, it will add to the bootloader
[19:13] <Beav> RealEyes, do you have a /boot/grub/menu.lst file?
[19:13] <ZykoticK9> RealEyes, if you have more then one kernel installed, you can uninstall old kernels (it is a good idea to keep 2 at least, to fall back on if necessary)
[19:13] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: to show only one,  remove the old kernel/s,  or at least the entry for them, from Grub2,  assuming your on 10.04?
[19:13] <RealEyes> What I did was: I let someone ssh into my system and I dont know what they did. I re-formatted my EXT4 and SWAP, and re-installed (10.04)...
[19:13] <sebsebseb> !grub2 | RealEyes
[19:13] <RealEyes> Now, I see 2 choices for Ubuntu.
[19:14] <NewtoLinux> so if i want to install a package or any addons and give other (selective) users permission, how can i do that
[19:14] <Beav> does Grub2 use a menu.lst file?  I can't find mine.
[19:14] <barfster> Is same-gnome no longer a part of ubuntu?
[19:14] <Tempus_> RealEyes: one of those versions of ubuntu generic may also be a recovery mode so dont delete that one
[19:14] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: oh your the one that was here last night, asking people to look at some file since the SSH?
[19:14] <henkpostma> Beav: no
[19:14] <Number5_> Does anyone wants to give a Skype name, so I can test with you?
[19:14] <sebsebseb> Beav: no Grub2 is more difficult to configure than the old one, since its not as simple as just editing menu.lst
[19:15] <sebsebseb> !grub2 | Beav
[19:15] <ZykoticK9> NewtoLinux, assuming an executable program.  Create a group with the users that you want permission to execute the file, then set X (execute) for that group but NOT the "other" group
[19:15] <Beav> thanks, I am trying to do the same thing as RealEyes
[19:15] <RealEyes> sebsebseb: Yes :D
[19:15] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: So who did you let in anyway, some guy from Internet?
[19:15] <RealEyes> I know it's -not- the recovery mode. There are 2 of those now as well.
[19:15] <n8t> hi all
[19:16] <henkpostma> ok, anybody have more things to try to recreate some /dev/snd files? There are some, but the one that alsa needs is not there
[19:16] <RealEyes> someguy123 he's on the irc.malvager.com server in #hackforums
[19:16] <Beav> i have the latest ubuntu install, when I goot is says grub 1.7
[19:16] <RealEyes> sebsebseb, doesn't matter anymore. He can't get back in lol
[19:16] <Beav> goot=boot
[19:16] <ZykoticK9> Beav, 1.7 = Grub2
[19:16] <Beav> ahhh, thanks
[19:16] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: ok didn't need to know the exact guy :D  altough that channel name seems a little odd.
[19:16] <NewtoLinux> ZykoticK9: i just added chatzilla to the admin account now if i want to give the guest permission .. how do i do that
[19:17] <RealEyes> well, it serves it's purpose.
[19:17] <ZykoticK9> NewtoLinux, sorry no idea
[19:17] <neel> How to do java programs in ubuntu??
[19:17] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: SSH and VNC can be rather useful, but you should only really let people into your computer, that you properly trust.
[19:17] <slidinghorn> neel: more information is needed.  see !details (/msg ubottu !details)
[19:18] <RealEyes> sebsebseb, so how do I get to that boot screen and click 'delete' on my older copy? I garauntee that particular OS isnt on anymore because when I choose the second Ubuntu, it still takes me to the first.
[19:18] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: no there isn't a second Ubuntu
[19:18] <neel> I have installed JDK .How to set path as we do in windows??
[19:18] <Tempus_> bbl
[19:18] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: I guess you don't understand what a kernel is yet
[19:19] <Isonyx> Hello All. Im having a small problem. The sound Icon on the top right of my screen dissapeared anyone know how to get it back?
[19:19] <sebsebseb> !kernel | RealEyes
[19:19] <RealEyes> No. I'd really like to watch a YouTube video that dumbs everything down lol
[19:19] <Isonyx> COuld anyone assist me?
[19:19] <ZykoticK9> Isonyx, right click / add to panel / indicator applet.  Or did you try uninstalling Pulse?
[19:19] <Isonyx> Pulse?
[19:19] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: so yeah  like the bot said its the core,  and yes its the core of any Linux distribution/distro
[19:20] <oshi> RealEyes: If you want stuff dumbed down, then perhaps Windows is your best bet.
[19:20] <ZykoticK9> Isonyx, try the right click thing ;)
[19:20] <RealEyes> thx for the tip oshi
[19:20] <Isonyx> Whats that And yes I looked and the sound Icon isnt moveable and therefore not included in the apps..
[19:20] <RealEyes> thats why I'm dual booting lol
[19:20] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: in simple terms altough this isn't 100% correct,  its the program in the background, that deals with all hardware and software.  well I suppouse thats pretty much correct really, I mean it has to run xorg as well after all, which is responsible for the graphical stuff.
[19:20] <RealEyes> so i see...
[19:20] <Beav> has anyone used virtual box to boot the latest version of ubuntu from a fixed hdd inside vista or win7?
[19:21] <MDVz0r> is there a difference between the ubuntu 10.04 live cd and the installation? Because when i put my laptop in standby, when running the livecd, it works perfectly, but when i put it in standby, running the installation from my harddisk, the screen remains black when resuming..
[19:21] <Redcl0ud> RealEyes, if you search for nixie pixel on youtube she has some videos on certain linux stuff that you might like
[19:21] <RealEyes> I've been watching her! :D She's good.
[19:21] <RealEyes> I got my themes and my compiz working cuz of her
[19:21] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: I thinink heres a good download for you
[19:21] <Isonyx> So...Whats pulse?
[19:21] <ZykoticK9> Beav, by "fixed hdd" do you mean a physical partition?
[19:21] <sebsebseb> !manual | RealEyes
[19:21] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: Theres also an Ubuntu Pocket Guide that you can download, thats good
[19:21] <Beav> ZykoticK9, yes
[19:21] <Beav> not a live disk
[19:22] <RealEyes> linkage plx? :D
[19:22] <sebsebseb> Isonyx: Pulseaudio is what Ubuntu uses for sound by default since 8.04, and since the way they do it or whatever, thats also the reason for most sound problems since 8.04.
[19:22] <Isonyx> Hello All. Im having a small problem. The sound Icon on the top right of my screen dissapeared anyone know how to get it back?
[19:22] <Isonyx> Ah.
[19:22] <Isonyx> I see.
[19:22] <RealEyes> these things will get me familiar with grub so I can delete that empty selection on my boot screen?
[19:22] <sebsebseb> lsandova: and there are  other ones you can use instead, like ALSA and such
[19:22] <Isonyx> So how do I uninstall it?
[19:22] <RealEyes> You can theme GRUB2? lol
[19:22] <ZykoticK9> Beav, I've never used VBox for actual partitions before.  See Raw disks in documentation for some hints http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk  Notice the warning!  Best of luck.
[19:23] <sebsebseb> lsandova: not you.  Isonyx see above
[19:23] <Beav> ZykoticK9, thanks!
[19:23] <RealEyes> you know what I did? When I partitioned I chose  to put it to '/' instead of '/boot'
[19:23] <sebsebseb> Isonyx: normally you don't, and by doing so, the sound applet I belive it was, may brake
[19:23] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: you don't need a seperate /boot
[19:23] <RealEyes> but, it's still on the GRUB2 menus...
[19:23] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: by default Ubuntu puts everything into /  ,but its useful to have a seperate /home as well :)
[19:23] <abhijit> !sound | Amol
[19:23] <RealEyes> Hm, i'll just pipe down and read ;)
[19:24] <abhijit> !webcam | Amol
[19:24] <slidinghorn> RealEyes, yes you can...you can use splash images, colors, or an application called burg for a GUI based grub (here's mine: http://imagebin.org/106681)
[19:24] <Redcl0ud> would be nice if there was a free manual that could be downloaded for the ipod touch
[19:24] <Isonyx> Maybe..Pulse HAS been uninstalled or the process has been stopped..Any idea what the process name is? + Its not a problem with the sound ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE SOUND APPLET being invisible.
[19:24] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: slidinghorn   I don't think Brug is the best thing to recommend for a newbie, since its still in development.
[19:24] <sebsebseb> Burg
[19:25] <rww> Redcl0ud: you mean an Ubuntu manual that's readable on the iPod Touch?
[19:25] <sebsebseb> RealEyes:  slidinghorn and its a pretty new project
[19:25] <Amol> abhijit, Thanks dude
[19:25] <Amol> abhijit, will look into the link
[19:25] <Redcl0ud> ya
[19:25] <rww> Redcl0ud: can they read PDF?
[19:25] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: slidinghorn and if it goes wrong on people, there bootloader can completly mess up, as far as I know
[19:25] <abhijit> Amol, ok
[19:25] <Redcl0ud> no clue never tried
[19:25] <ZykoticK9> slidinghorn, that's really cool!  Thanks for pointing out burg (still not sure i'll bother though, grub and plymouth only take a couple of seconds)
[19:25] <rww> Redcl0ud: if it turns out they can, http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[19:26] <raks437> I need some help installing MySQL on Ubuntu 10.4..Need urgent help please ?
[19:26] <seanscot_> Hi folks.
[19:26] <j0rb> hey, having a network problem upgrading from ubuntu 7 to ubuntu 10 on an older box. i've got an onboard NIC i don't want to use, and an intel pro gigabit NIC that i do want to use. ubuntu only wants to use the skge driver for my intel pro, which results in a 'link is not ready' message. i think i got this working a few years ago by forcing the use of the e1000 driver somehow, but that doesn't seem to be working now. any clue what i could
[19:26] <RealEyes> slidinghorn: SICK SCREEN!
[19:26] <trism> Isonyx: did you add the Indicator Applet back to the panel as previously suggested? Is indicator-sound installed?
[19:26] <RealEyes> so now, tell me what that firefox page is that you're on titled 'Absolute Beginner'
[19:26] <Redcl0ud> I have the manual downloaded on this pc atm would like to be able to read it some other way while I did stuff on the pc
[19:27] <seanscot_> Complete newb here, anyone know how to get packet tracer installed on ubuntu?
[19:27] <RealEyes> The file '/home/realeyes/Downloads/utorrent.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.
[19:27] <banished> Hi, how can I find out which version of a library I have installed?
[19:27] <slidinghorn> RealEyes, check out this page for theming GRUB: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[19:27] <Isonyx> Trism: Thanks so much. I ow you one.
[19:28] <seanscot_> Theres an ubuntu installer , but im just too much of a tard to know how to install bin or pkg files lol
[19:28] <seanscot_> Anyone?
[19:28] <kitty_> I am looking for help on getting dual monitor support working in hardy
[19:28] <ZykoticK9> RealEyes, that's the new message from Gnome, you need to mark the file executable either from nautilus or command line.  FYI using wine from command line does NOT have this issue.
[19:28] <rww> Redcl0ud: Right-click it in the file manager -> Properties -> Permissions -> check the Execute box
[19:28] <kitty_> seanscot_ dpkg blah.deb
[19:28] <rww> RealEyes: Right-click it in the file manager -> Properties -> Permissions -> check the Execute box
[19:28] <rww> Redcl0ud: sorry, mistab
[19:28] <abhijit> banished, apt-cache policy <package>
[19:28] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: blacklist the driver for the intel pro
[19:28] <seanscot_> Sorry hitty?
[19:28] <BluesKaj> RealEyes, exe files are windows files and some like utorrent can be run in wine
[19:28] <seanscot_> I am a tard remember lol
[19:29] <BluesKaj> !winehq | RealEyes
[19:29] <RealEyes> I have Wine!
[19:29] <RealEyes> Dx
[19:29] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: i've tried putting 'blacklist skge' into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to do just that, but it had no effect. i also put 'e1000' into /etc/modules and an 'alias eth0 e1000' into /etc/modprobe.d/alias.conf -- all to no effect
[19:29] <BluesKaj> RealEyes,ok
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> seanscot_, typically you don't want to install either bin or pkg files!  use Ubuntu Software Center and Hardware Drivers to install 99% of programs.  What are you trying to install?
[19:30] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist not blacklist.conf
[19:30] <EruditeOgre> If I understand blacklisting correctly
[19:30] <Redcl0ud> rww, turns out they can be read on a ipod touch just don't know if I can download it straight to it though
[19:30] <seanscot_> packet tracer
[19:30] <Chad_> Hello all, have a small problem, I have networking working fine including wireless on a presario 2200 laptop, but it will not work for any user except root, it seems the drivers do not load for anybody else... how do I fix this quickly?
[19:30] <seanscot_> I just searched software centre , no joy
[19:30] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: i'll try, but i was pretty sure everything in that directory needed to end in .conf....
[19:31] <raks437> anyone help me with MySQL installation...new to ubuntu
[19:31] <RealEyes> where can i find the 'file manager>Properties...
[19:32] <sebsebseb> raks437: might, be useful well at least for MySQL I guess
[19:32] <sebsebseb> !lamp | raks437
[19:32] <sebsebseb> !mysql
[19:32] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: yeah, actually, i added my 'blacklist skge' to the bottom of the stock, pre-existing blacklist.conf file...
[19:32] <j0rb> which didn't work
[19:32] <ZykoticK9> seanscot_, sorry man i'm not familiar with "packet tracker" so can't even recommend an alternative package.  Consult and Readme or Install files that came with the package?  good luck.
[19:33] <seanscot_> Cisco packet tracer is a network emulator
[19:33] <seanscot_> used for people studying for the CCNA
[19:33] <raks437> @sebsebseb: MySQL ??Installation...rpm is giving error

[19:33] <mikeconcepts> is there a channel for ubuntu respins like pinguy?
[19:34] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: cat /etc/modprobe.d/skge.conf?
[19:34] <sebsebseb> raks437: RPM what?  Ubuntu doesn't use RPM's
[19:34] <barfster> Where did the same-gnome game go?
[19:34] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: that show anything?
[19:34] <bihari> i have a problem i cant able to connect my SAMSUN SGH-B520 set to my ubuntu through USB port

[19:34] <sebsebseb> !thanks | raks437
[19:35] <raks437> @sebsebseb: Thanks
[19:35] <john38> BluesKaj, thanks
[19:35] <sebsebseb> raks437: ok your welcome
[19:36] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: you rebooted after blacklisting, correct?
[19:36] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: many times now
[19:36] <shankar96> Anyone had success setting up httpd on startup ?
[19:36] <sebsebseb> !rpm | raks437

[19:37] <shankar96> I've been trying since yesterday, and cannot get my httpd start at boot....
[19:37] <RealEyes> ktorrent works for DLing torrents?
[19:37] <sebsebseb> !apt | raks437
[19:37] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: If they offer a .deb file then you can just double click it to install it. From when I was taking CCNA though what they had was an executable that prompts you to agree to their license, then unpacks a .deb file and installs it. Which is kind of idiotic as license agreements can be put into the .deb itself.
[19:37] <bihari> i have a problem i cant able to connect my SAMSUN SGH-B520 set to my ubuntu through USB port
[19:37] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: of course

[19:37] <john38> Is there any way to not have low id when not using aMule
[19:37] <RealEyes> Alright guys, suggest me some good techno music!
[19:37] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: 'sudo modprobe -r skge'
[19:37] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: uninstalls the module successfully and downs the interface. i've tried then modprobe -a e1000 but this doesn't make eth0 available.
[19:37] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: Ktorrent is the best alternative to Utorrent really
[19:37] <john38> Is there any way to not have low id when using aMule
[19:37] <RealEyes> Also, my win7 has Norton, what does Ubuntu have in terms of that?
[19:37] <sebsebseb> RealEyes: as for music, recommendations, we aren't meant to do that in here, however you can join #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[19:38] <RealEyes> yesss!
[19:38] <sebsebseb> !virus | RealEyes
[19:38] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: any way to disable the ethernet in bios?
[19:38] <bvleur> Hi. I'm trying to configure pure-ftpd using this guide: http://www.ubuntu-howto.info/howto/how-to-install-and-configure-pure-ftpd . Configuration steps seem to go just fine, but trying to login gives an authentication error. What could be wronge?
[19:38] <EruditeOgre> the onboard one.
[19:38] <seanscot_> ahh, no luck so far :(
[19:38] <seanscot_> Linux:
[19:38] <seanscot_> To install the Linux BIN packages, set the permission to be executable (chmod +x PacketTracer53_*.bin) then execute the binary in the terminal.
[19:38] <ZykoticK9> barfster, the closes thing is called "Same Game" but it's different from Same Gnome (not as good in my opinion).  I can find "Same Game" in Ubuntu Software Center; but haven't figured out the actual package name yet.
[19:38] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: i've disabled the onboard one in BIOS, yes.
[19:38] <seanscot_> Instructions are probably simple to you guys lol
[19:38] <EruditeOgre> Hrm, but it's still loading the drivers for it?
[19:38] <barfster> ZykoticK9: That’s the one
[19:38] <barfster> I am installing it now: curl -O http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-games/same-gnome_2.28.0-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[19:39] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: If all they have is a ".bin" file then open a terminal and run "chmod +x /path/to/file.bin" then "/path/to/file.bin".
[19:39] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: no, the onboard NIC is out of the equation now, i think. the skge driver is being loaded for eth0 -- my intel pro.
[19:39] <haydoni> Hi, I was wondering if I should report this/these as a bug (I'm new to this), vlc and spotify don't respect transparency/colour of panel, http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=u1s9z&s=3 (screenshot) any thoughts?
[19:39] <john38> Is there any way to not have low id when using aMule
[19:40] <seanscot_> how do i find the path?
[19:40] <john38> it says because im behind a firewall or router
[19:40] <naxil> hi
[19:40] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: You can drag the file into the terminal.
[19:40] <Chad_> networking working fine including wireless on a presario 2200 laptop running Ubunu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, but problem is it will not work for any user except root, it seems the drivers do not load for anybody else... how do I fix this quickly?
[19:40] <xangua> haydoni: vlc is a qt app and spotify windows's...
[19:40] <seanscot_> I tried it :(
[19:41] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: And what happened?
[19:41] <wtf1> Is it possible to create md5 files for complete folders with md5sum
[19:41] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: So it's loading the wrong driver for the hardware? Sorry, I'm just trying to understand exactly what is going on cause when you first said it you seemed to be saying that it was loading the drivers for both.
[19:41] <john38> Is there any way to not have low id when using aMule

[19:43] <seanscot_> I dont want to attempt the windows version with wine, thats just lame
[19:43] <Drak> how to configure scroll-wheel from mouse?
[19:43] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: sorry, i mentioned the onboard NIC for no good reason and probably should have been clearer. i have a single NIC, an add-in PCI intel pro. ubuntu has detected it and decided to use the wrong driver -- skge. i cannot seem to force ubuntu to use the e1000 driver for it. the reason i'm going down this path is, i *think* it's how i got this NIC working last build.
[19:43] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: What happens when you try to drag the file into the terminal?
[19:43] <haydoni> xangua: is that a "no"? Does qt mean ubuntu not seeing it isn't a bug? I thought the spotify may be a bug in wine? cheers
[19:44] <seanscot_> unknown file type it says
[19:44] <seanscot_> now it says permission denied
[19:44] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: Immediately after dragging it, or after running the command?
[19:44] <shankar96> Anyone had success installing startup scripts with chkconfig ?
[19:44] <seanscot_> yes
[19:45] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: Which?
[19:45] <shankar96> I do chkconfig -a httpd on, and the startup scripts dont take effect...
[19:45] <shankar96> Any suggestions on how to do it ?>
[19:45] <seanscot_> just imeddiately after dragging it in
[19:46] <Drak> please, how to configure the speed of my scroll wheel mouse??
[19:46] <seanscot_> im installing root now
[19:46] <seanscot_> maybe that will help?
[19:46] <sebsebseb> !root | seanscot_
[19:46] <abhijit> Drak, system=>preferences=>mouse?
[19:47] <seanscot_> it said root wasnt installed then gave me instructions to download it
[19:47] <Drak> abhijit, option has no scroll wheel there
[19:47] <Drak> :\
[19:47] <seanscot_> not sure if its the right thing to do but I just went with it lol
[19:47] <beav> well I got the old kernel distros out of my boot loader
[19:47] <sebsebseb> beav: no they aren't distros
[19:48] <sebsebseb> !distros | beav
[19:48] <sebsebseb> beav: and a load of others
[19:48] <sebsebseb> !kernel
[19:48] <Jordan_U> Right click the file in the file browser and go to Properties then permissions. Check the box that says "Allow executing file as program".
[19:48] <beav> sebsebseb, thanks for the correction.  i didn't mean distro, i meant version
[19:48] <GeForce88> how do you change the resolution in [Ubuntu "karmic" 9.10] using nvidia drivers and the nvidia control dialog doesn't show support for more than 640X480. i know this hardware will support 1024x768 and higher
[19:49] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: after getting the proper driver on did you try an ifup eth0?
[19:49] <abhijit> Drak, this page has some results see if any useful to you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en-GB&q=mouse%20scrolling%20speed%20ubuntu
[19:49] <seanscot_> jesus im thick
[19:50] <seanscot_> all i had to do was go to permissions and make it executable
[19:50] <Danawar> Heyaa, i need to install this http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=14410&action=edit in order to get COD4 working how would i go about doing this?@
[19:50] <seanscot_> lol
[19:50] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: ex. 'modprobe -r skge', 'modprobe -a e1000', 'ifup eth0'
[19:51] <seanscot_> Yes!!
[19:51] <seanscot_> Done!!
[19:51] <seanscot_> Thank you!
[19:51] <seanscot_> I can get on with my studies now :)
[19:51] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: You're welcome :)
[19:51] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: ifup complains that interface eth0=eth0 is unknown. i have been using ifconfig eth0 down/up though -- same thing, right?
[19:52] <uzu-cat> i'd like to install windows on a partition, but i've heard that when you do that the ubuntu launcher gots deleted
[19:53] <wtf1> Is it possible to change the resolution of plymouth?
[19:53] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: Yeah. ifup eth0 is really just ifconfig eth0 up
[19:53] <Jordan_U> seanscot_: When you're done with your studies maybe you should ask Cisco to distribut it as a normal .deb file so it can just be double clicked to install, they can look at the packaging for Sun (Oracle) Java if they can't figure out how to add a license agreememnt to the .deb itself.
[19:53] <abhijit> uzu-cat, its not get deleted. you need to reinstal it. thats it
[19:53] <abhijit> !fixgrub | uzu-cat
[19:53] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: yeah, so no dice then. it's like e1000 can load, but isn't being associated with the device for some reason. i had thought that "alias eth0 e1000" in /etc/modprobe.d/somefile would do that part...
[19:54] <uzu-cat> and how can i reinstall it from the livecd?
[19:55] <abhijit> uzu-cat  read the link given by ubottu. yes live cd
[19:56] <uzu-cat> oh, thats right, i didn't see it
[19:57] <poser> I recently install ubuntu 10.04 and ran software update this morning, but when I boot up now, I get a screen that says "grub >" any idea how to fix this?
[19:58] <poser> I also tried the grub-install /dev/sda, which did not do the trick
[19:58] <Scherenhaenden> hi everybody
[19:58] <beav> you could try sudo update-grub
[19:58] <uzu-cat> well, thank you guys!
[19:58] <Scherenhaenden> im trying to install my soundcar... it was working really well upto an upgrade
[19:58] <abhijit> !who > beav
[19:59] <Scherenhaenden> n now i cant make it work
[19:59] <strangebre> is there a tool which can write mac addresses on my lan into a csv?
[19:59] <poser> beav: I tried that too
[19:59] <Scherenhaenden> does know anybody how can i do to install my soundcar?
[20:00] <western> Hello
[20:00] <beav> poser, you boot right in to grub?
[20:01] <poser> beav: it seems that way, like it just says grub> and a paragraph essentially saying to hit tab for options
[20:01] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: Think I found it!
[20:01] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: crossing fingers :)
[20:02] <EruditeOgre> 'less /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules'
[20:02] <Scherenhaenden> brb
[20:02] <beav> poser, can you manually get in to the system?
[20:04] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: just the one PCI device line starting with SUBSYSTEM.
[20:04] <poser> haven't tried, assuming you mean can I boot from the grub menu? I'm using the live cd now
[20:04] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: correct MAC, NAME="eth0", etc
[20:05] <bock> when i close the lid on my laptop it causes the login screen locks up??
[20:05] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: What does it have for DRIVER==?
[20:05] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: DRIVERS=="?*",
[20:05] <EruditeOgre> So it's searching the device path upwards
[20:06] <bock> when i close the lid on my laptop it causes the login screen locks up anyone know a fix for this
[20:06] <poser> beav: I do not see a menu.lst in either the /boot or /boot/grub directories
[20:06] <poser> beav: probably the main issue
[20:07] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: hrm.... not sure what to make of that.
[20:07] <poser> beav: nevermind, I see that menu.lst no longer is used
[20:08] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: me either. Trying to mentally work through at what point the skge driver is being associated with the network card.
[20:08] <kasun> bock, Go to System-> Power Management -> Then you can choose what to do when the laptop lid is closed.
[20:08] <GeForce88> how do you change the resolution in [Ubuntu "karmic" 9.10] using nvidia drivers and the nvidia control dialog doesn't show support for more than 640X480. i know this hardware will support 1024x768 and higher
[20:09] <kasun> GeForce88, are you sure the NVdia driver is installed?
[20:09] <GeForce88> according to compiz working and the hardware drivers dialog box, yes
[20:10] <GeForce88> i just can not set the resolution any higher.
[20:10] <naxil> i have a problem with fstab
[20:10] <bock> kasun: thanks i feel like an idiot this is so easy i forget
[20:10] <kasun> GeForce88, go to System -> Administration -> hardware drivers and check whether the driver is activated.
[20:10] <kasun> bock, no problems :)
[20:11] <GeForce88> kasun, yes it is. reconfiguring by using the reconfigure tool for nvidia does the same thing.
[20:11] <GeForce88> it will NOT set above 640
[20:11] <GeForce88> can i manually add the resolution i want in the conf ?
[20:12] <naxil> geforce you know something for radeon 9250 128mb
[20:12] <GeForce88> naxil, i do not. i know ati is Supposed to just work with ubuntu
[20:13] <kasun> GeForce88, where you tried to set the resolution?
[20:13] <GeForce88> kasun, nvidia xserver settings dialog
[20:13] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: i *think* the way i got through this last time was to compile a kernel without the skge driver and with the e1000 code either as a module or right into the kernel. plus possibly some other stuff that, who knows, it was like three years ago and ubuntu was a bit different then.
[20:13] <GeForce88> kassun, video card is geforce fx5200 128meg
[20:13] <kasun> it should display all the resolutions
[20:14] <GeForce88> kasun, it shows two
[20:14] <daedalus96> i am having issues with Karmic, I just updated from Jaunty. When i try to boot, it takes me to the screen with the with ubuntu logo, then just stops...
[20:14] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: that's one way to do it. :)
[20:14] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: still, seems a bit of a pain.
[20:14] <earthling_> which should I download 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu? why is 32 bit "recommended for most users" on ubuntu.com ?  I have AMD athlon 64 X2 dual core processor
[20:14] <abhijit> bte guys :)
[20:14] <GeForce88> earthling, then use the 64 bit
[20:14] <abhijit> bye*
[20:15] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: yeah, definitely -- was hoping to avoid having to maintain a custom kernel across future upgrades.
[20:15] <earthling_> GeForce88, it will be faster for me?
[20:15] <GeForce88> i use 64 bit 10.04 on my laptop and love it
[20:15] <kasun> GeForce88, I got geforce 9200 and it displays max of 1280x800
[20:15] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: what is dmesg saying when you modprobe -a e1000?
[20:15] <kasun> umm, can't see what's the problem here
[20:16] <GeForce88> earthling, people debate which is fater, but in my honest opinion, only a certain program will benefit from 64 bit. not so much the kernel
[20:16] <daedalus96> i am having issues with Karmic, I just updated from Jaunty. When i try to boot, it takes me to the screen with the with ubuntu logo, then just stops...
[20:16] <korst3n> Hello, how do I put my m4r ringtone into my iPhone at ubuntu? I've put the file at itunes_control\ringtones folder and edited the ringtones.plist file but the new ringtone is still not there
[20:16] <Maximenko>  /close
[20:16] <GeForce88> kasun, i have a geforce 8800 512 that works fine, but this main board doesn't have a pci-e slot
[20:17] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: just prints the driver identifier stuff -- "Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version xxx", etc.  when i modprobe -r skge, i do get a lot of activity around disabling eth0, but nothing equivalent when loading e1000.
[20:17] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: Well, sadly, you've maxxed out my limited knowledge when it comes to linux/ubuntu. Not sure why it's doing this to you or how to go about fixing it.
[20:18] <naxil> some people can help me with grub (come in query)
[20:18] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: well you've been a champ -- thanks! :)
[20:18] <kasun> GeForce88, may be this would solve the issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1292200
[20:18] <EruditeOgre> All I can think is that you have to figure out why Ubuntu associated your chipset with skge and get it to change that association
[20:18] <mataks> help please.. how to connect to network using samba?
[20:19] <EruditeOgre> But I have no clue what stage of boot associates drivers with hardware.
[20:19] <saymoo> mataks: explain more
[20:19] <saymoo> e.g. domain join? file share browsing? or backup domain (bdc)?
[20:19] <saymoo> etc
[20:19] <kasun> hmm, looks like no help in i
[20:19] <kasun> *it
[20:20] <Redcl0ud> my processor is a single core so why does ubuntu has a processor 0 and a processor 1 when I open up system monitor?
[20:20] <j0rb> EruditeOgre: yeah, i remember that being part of the fix last time, just can't remember what voodoo was required, and since the module files seem to have changed a bit since then, i'm not even sure the old fix would be relevant anymore
[20:20] <mataks> saymoo,  i want to connect to my window folder to get some shared files. however i can't see the shared folder in my network here in ubuntu
[20:20] <GeForce88> kasun, that thread was a problem, with no solution , only to go back to windoez
[20:20] <saymoo> mataks: you configured the network adapter settings correctly? (as in both machines can ping eachother)
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  sometimes i have to type in the full path to the share in the nautilus file manager 'address' bar. ie:  smb://servernameorIP/sharename
[20:21] <EruditeOgre> j0rb: yeah. They keep changing the boot system but then don't leave any documentation about how it works now.
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  sometiomes i have to use the ip also. instead of the name
[20:21] <F4RR4R> Does anyone know of a usb-dvi adapter that works with Ubuntu?
[20:21] <shiftingcontrol> whenever i right click on a music file and select open with vlc it doesnot open
[20:21] <rww> Redcl0ud: Your processor probably uses hyperthreading
[20:21] <GeForce88> kasun, i will manually set the resolution in my conf once the dist upgrade is complete
[20:22] <shiftingcontrol> if i give vlc in terminal it doesn't open
[20:22] <Redcl0ud> rww, yes it has hyperthreading just didn't figure it would show up like that
[20:22] <shiftingcontrol> can anyone help me out?
[20:22] <mataks> saymoo, Dr_Willis : i have no idea how to do that.. im just new to ubuntu. but before when i fresh install the samba.. all works fine.. i can access any file from my network.. but now i want to share some file again i cant see any in my network.. maybe i'ts not configured to start up on boot?
[20:22] <rww> Redcl0ud: Yup. I have one too, shows up as two processors for me.
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  it gives no error messages at all from terminal>?
[20:22] <rww> or cores, at least
[20:22] <jmagder> The bandwidth meter and output of ifcofig seems to be limited to 4GB
[20:23] <shiftingcontrol> Dr_Willis:VLC media player 1.1.1 The Luggage (revision exported)
[20:23] <shiftingcontrol> vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--user-agent="VLC media player"'
[20:23] <shiftingcontrol> Try `vlc --help' for more information.
[20:23] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  in the nautilus address bar you hit ctrl-l to enter a path.. and you type it in.
[20:23] <Redcl0ud> rww, so much for me to learn and my hardware support class left out alot of stuff
[20:23] <jmagder> Is there a way of working around this 32 bit limit?
[20:23] <luis_> hello channel, i have an issue hopefully some can help me out today.
[20:23] <kasun> GeForce88, yeah, i saw that. looks like fx5200 driver for ubuntu has some problems/compatibility issues. manually setting the resolution could be harmful if your driver doesn't support that. but it's worth a shot!
[20:23] <jmagder> I need this information to work around annoying bandwidth limits.
[20:24] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  has vlc ever worked on that system>? try a different user. It could be your vlc configs are messed up
[20:24] <GeForce88> kasun, i'm sure the card (which supports the resolution in windoez) supports 1024x768
[20:24] <kasun> GeForce88, and the article says you can go upto 800x600 without the driver.
[20:24] <shiftingcontrol> yea it s been workin for around past 2 mnths
[20:24] <GeForce88> kasun, then i lose my compiz. which is the reason i'm fighting to make it work
[20:25] <shiftingcontrol> i tried to remove using ubuntu software centre it should me waiting for process tovquit
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> shiftingcontrol:  make a new user see if it works for them. or perhaps just clean out your old vlc configs/settings
[20:25] <kasun> GeForce88, yes, but what if driver have some problemsand can't render graphics beyond the given value?
[20:25] <luis_> i currently run 10.04 and installed on a lenovo U350. my issue is that when i plug in some head phones into the jack i get no audio, and the internal speakers continue to play
[20:25] <kasun> GeForce88, ha ha... yeah. compiz is damn good! :)
[20:26] <mataks> Dr_Willis, is there any other way? like just before all i have to do is just click browser network location in Places
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  see if typing in the address works.. if it dosent.. then you may have other issues
[20:26] <wiesshund> compiz still crash alot?
[20:26] <orsh> hi to all.I have some problem with my Ati radeon x1300/x1550,puted new Ubuntu 10.04 now my desktop effects dosent work,can someone help me about how to fix this
[20:26] <luis_> not for me wiesshund
[20:26] <kasun> GeForce88, aren't there other versions of the driver available? if so try another one. I have too driver versions listed.
[20:27] <kasun> s/too/two/
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  i normally type in the address then bookmark the location. i never have to  bother  with the network location/browser thing again
[20:27] <mataks> Dr_Willis, i don't know what address i will type :(..all i know is i want to access the folder DC
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  do you even see the pc listed at all?
[20:27] <GeForce88> kasun yea, ubuntu installed 173, i'll try the 95 once i get finished updateing
[20:27] <FNi> New user trying to figure out why sometimes Ubuntu fails to boot (black screen after kernel select) and other times the wifi doesn't initialize. Is there some type of boot log which records these problems?
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  from the command line the  commands 'smbtree' and 'findsmb' can also give you some clues as to what servers/shares are on the network
[20:28] <orsh> hi to all.I have some problem with my Ati radeon x1300/x1550,puted new Ubuntu 10.04 now my desktop effects dosent work,can someone help me about how to fix this pls?
[20:28] <mataks> Dr_Willis, there's no shared folder when i type in findsmb..
[20:28] <wiesshund> orsh>>  did you try turning them off then on again?
[20:29] <orsh> wesshund how can i try that,i am new in linux
[20:29] <wiesshund> orsh>>  also is the card a 1300 or 1550 ?
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  it does see the server then?
[20:30] <mataks> Dr_Willis, no
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> mataks:  try smbtree

[20:33] <wiesshund> mataks>>  that part of windowsLIVE breaks smb, might be worth checking
[20:34] <Dr_Willis> Hilikus:  i think they would become 2 seperate files.
[20:34] <orsh> kasun even if in top it says that i dont have properly installed drivers
[20:34] <ryan_languagelab> greetings all! I am using Xubuntu but for some reason the system identifies itself as Ubuntu. I've been using the system for a while but how can I clean up the menus so it is more Xubuntu-like than Ubuntu-like (trying my best to explain what I'm seeing)

[20:36] <shiftingcontrol> can anyone help me out ?
[20:36] <saymoo> hiexpo: i know, but since matak is not computer savvy, it would (imho) be better to give complete command examples

[20:37] <orsh> kasun i alredy downloaded ,but this package is for red hat and suse

[20:42] <HarryS> >_< I was doing a distupgrade on a client's box, and apparentally they are stupid and didn't listen to me with "DO NOT TOUCH IT UNTIL I TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN", so they rebooted it without the install finishing. What do I do now?
[20:42] <saymoo> ZykoticK9: hmm, degrading development? :P
[20:43] <mnbv0987> i installed 64 bit ubuntu 10.04 using wubi on a 64bit windows 7 machine. i reboot into ubuntu and it says "verifying the installation configuration", then it fails with "no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu". what should i do next?

[20:44] <Dr_Willis> Darklord6229:  use the package manager to install it.
[20:44] <Flannel> HarryS: Alright.  The first thing to do would be apt-get update/apt-get dist-upgrade, and see where you wind up.
[20:45] <HarryS> I'll try sudo dpkg --configure -a then
[20:45] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, +1 for recommendation, Darklord6229

[20:48] <{g}> Hello Ubuntu People! How are you today? Im trying to install google-chrome on a minimal ubuntu machine that does not have ubuntu-desktop but openbox. I tried it via downloading the .deb file and installing it with "dpkg -i". That results in missing dependencies. Doesnt dpgk -i install dependencies? Do I have to add some parameter? Or use apt somehow?
[20:49] <Flannel> {g}: No, dpkg won't install dependencies.  gdebi will though.
[20:49] <linxeh> {g}: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser (if you dont mind using the opensource build)
[20:49] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  use sudo gdebi whatever.deb
[20:49] <Jordan_U> {g}: Run "sudo apt-get -f install" to get the needed dependencies.
[20:49] <ZykoticK9> cwill747, i'd try updating your system and see if that corrects the issue.  "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade", after finished restart and cross your fingers ;)  good luck.
[20:49] <HarryS> okay
[20:49] <cwill747> ZykoticK9: I could update my system if I could connect to the internet. Haha I tried that.
[20:50] <{g}> Jordan_U: i tried that. it removed google chrome again.
[20:50] <slidinghorn> newbie-cro, check out the link to the forum in my last post to you
[20:50] <HarryS> :[ why don't people listen to me though, I told her to not touch the box until I called back telling her that she could
[20:50] <{g}> linxeh: ok, will try that one
[20:50] <HarryS> and she reboots it, and it's bad now
[20:50] <HarryS> I think I am going to need to reinstall it
[20:51] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, gdebi to the rescue ;)  which you informed me of yesterday i believe.
[20:51] <wiesshund> HarryS>>  charge her for her stupidity
[20:51] <Jordan_U> HarryS: Bad in what way?
[20:51] <HarryS> she'd just reinstall windows probably
[20:51] <korst3n> Hello, how do I put my m4r ringtone into my iPhone at ubuntu? I've put the file at itunes_control\ringtones folder and edited the ringtones.plist file but the new ringtone is still not there
[20:51] <slidinghorn> HarryS, what happens when you try to boot it back up?  (sorry if I'm making you repeat yourself, was greeting the pizza delivery girl)
[20:51] <HarryS> I don't know Jordan_U, she is just saying "it doesn't work anymore" though I can still ssh in fine
[20:51] <ikonia> korst3n: to be honest, itunes functionaity is best left to itunes on windows/mac
[20:52] <{g}> linxeh: I get "you requested an impossible situation"
[20:52] <slidinghorn> HarryS, if you can SSH into it, try running sudo apt-get update  and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:52] <{g}> linxeh: and "libxss1 is not installable" and other stuff.
[20:52] <HarryS> yeah doing now
[20:52] <Jordan_U> HarryS: Then tell her that it will eat her cat if she reboots it without you telling her to, then apt-get dist-upgrade.
[20:53] <korst3n> ikonia, yeah but i shouldn't have to install itunes just to have one ringtone right?
[20:53] <ikonia> korst3n: it's a propritary product, you may have to
[20:53] <{g}> linxeh: oh, after apt-get update it seems to work
[20:53] <wiesshund> korst3n>>  i believe Iphones only work via itunes for ring tones etc
[20:54] <psylostlife{rus}> hi2all
[20:54] <slidinghorn> !hi > psylostlife{rus}
[20:54] <HarryS> and she left me 3 messages and tells me "there is an error on the montor", but won't even tell me the exact error message :|
[20:54] <HarryS> sigh
[20:54] <wiesshund> korst3n>>  and as it was explained to me, only ones you buy off itunes.  i dont have one so cant confirm that part
[20:54] <ikonia> HarryS: we cant help
[20:54] <Jordan_U> slidinghorn: Havin ubottu PM people to say hi is a bit much, next time try "!hi | nick".
[20:55] <slidinghorn> Jordan_U, point taken
[20:55] <ikonia> HarryS: you'll have to support her
[20:55] <HarryS> I know.
[20:55] <wiesshund> HarryS>>  ive got a big big hammer here, need it?
[20:55] <korst3n> i guess i'll try running itunes over wine, thanks anyways
[20:55] <SSMiaka> hello, everyone!
[20:56] <hiexpo> korst3n,  good luck with that
[20:56] <SSMiaka> quick question: where can I find the drivers folder in lucid?
[20:56] <HarryS> I got errors with  nvidia-96 nvidia-glx-96 when doing dpkg --configure -a
[20:56] <SSMiaka> I can't seem to find it
[20:56] <ZykoticK9> korst3n, you'll most likely have to run a virtual machine (with USB) for proper itunes/iphone support.  hopefully i'm wrong.
[20:56] <HarryS> but it doesn't tell me WHAT it did wrong
[20:56] <Jordan_U> HarryS: She is really going to want to reboot if somthing is wrong, you may want to just tell her to leave the computer alone (go out to luch?) for at least an hour or two.
[20:56] <MoRpHeO> hello i am leandro
[20:56] <MoRpHeO> tell me hello
[20:56] <Jordan_U> HarryS: Can you pastebin the exact error message?
[20:56] <ZykoticK9> !hi | MoRpHeO
[20:57] <earthling_> you guys agree with 64-bit Ubuntu - Not recommended for daily desktop usage?
[20:57] <{g}> So if you have a .deb file - how do you install it and all dependencies?
[20:57] <HarryS> there is no error message that I see, it just said "problems with these packages"
[20:57] <Flannel> earthling_: No.
[20:57] <Darklord6229> can i not get itunes on this os?
[20:57] <Flannel> earthling_: (No, it is fine for daily usage)
[20:57] <Sarah32uk> hi i need a bit of help im getting error when i try to open new yahoo emil " Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999. could anyone help me with it? i think its cuz i opened to many accounts and i cant open any new one i tried to go trough proxy but still getting the same error
[20:57] <hiexpo> deb package installer
[20:57] <Flannel> {g}: use gdebi
[20:57] <ZykoticK9> earthling_, no - see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940
[20:57] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  i use gdebi. or that whatver -f  after installing it.
[20:58] <dade> Darklord are you needing itunes for an apple device?
[20:58] <wiesshund> earthling_>>  I use 10.4 64bit every day, its perfectly fine
[20:58] <{g}> Flannel: "gdebi -i file.deb"?
[20:58] <Darklord6229> for my ipod but also because i like it for my media player
[20:58] <slidinghorn> Darklord6229, some versions work, others don't...see here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347   for your ipod, see !ipod
[20:58] <linxeh> {g}: yeah, always apt-get update before you start installing new packages if possible :)
[20:58] <dade> !ipod
[20:59] <hiexpo> or add deb repos
[20:59] <earthling_> wiesshund, how much RAM do you have?
[20:59] <Flannel> {g}: gdebi package.deb
[20:59] <wiesshund> earthling_>> 2gb
[20:59] <saymoo> SSMaika:driver as kernel modules mostly, they reside in the kernel source subfolders. /usr/src/linux/modules e.g.
[20:59] <earthling_> wiesshund, no flash issues?
[20:59] <{g}> Flannel: Flannel ok
[20:59] <saymoo> driver*
[21:00] <HarryS> earthling_: you can use the 32bit wrappers to use flash on 64bit
[21:00] <wiesshund> earthling_>>  no anything issues other than a crappy printer with no good driver
[21:00] <HarryS> it isn't native, but it works
[21:00] <Sarah32uk> hi i need a bit of help im getting error when i try to open new yahoo emil " Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999. could anyone help me with it? i think its cuz i opened to many accounts and i cant open any new one i tried to go trough proxy but still getting the same error
[21:00] <ZykoticK9> Darklord6229, i'm under the impression that iTunes under wine can't use USB devices (hopefully i'm wrong)
[21:00] <g0tcha> hey guys, does ubuntu have support for touchscreen taplet pcs?
[21:00] <earthling_> wiesshund, ok
[21:00] <slidinghorn> g0tcha, I believe so...I have a tablet toshiba that works
[21:00] <ikonia> g0tcha: some devices, yes
[21:01] <g0tcha> slidinghorn, running ubuntu 10.04 and it works comfortable with the touch screen tablet?
[21:01] <g0tcha> ikonia, hmm what do you mean 'some devices' ?
[21:01] <g0tcha> i thought if the device itself has the feature, it all depends on the OS
[21:02] <g0tcha> if it has the capability and the drivers/softwares for it
[21:02] <slidinghorn> g0tcha, yeah -- as ikonia said though, it's dependent on the device (i.e. some work, others may not)
[21:02] <ikonia> g0tcha: I mean some touch screens are supported, some are not
[21:02] <g0tcha> ah
[21:02] <ZykoticK9> g0tcha, "it all depends on the... device manufacturer" ;)
[21:02] <g0tcha> hmm i didnt think of that
[21:02] <g0tcha> is there a way to find out?
[21:02] <ikonia> read the hardware compatability matrix
[21:02] <slidinghorn> g0tcha, run it on a livecd and try
[21:03] <saymoo> hmm someone uses irc running as root...
[21:03] <saymoo> :P
[21:03]  * saymoo points to Henrique
[21:03] <ikonia> saymoo: it's just an ident, doesnt mean they are running as root
[21:03] <HarryS> I thought root ident was kicked from here
[21:03] <g0tcha> slidinghorn, hmm just pop in the livecd and if its support it should work from there?
[21:03] <wiesshund> saymoo>>  me
[21:03] <g0tcha> ikonia, i dont really know how to do that :/
[21:03] <g0tcha> or know what you mean to begin with
[21:04] <saymoo> most irc progs use the current user for ident
[21:04] <saymoo> by defaul
[21:04] <saymoo> t
[21:04] <Drak> how to configure the speed of my scroll wheel mouse in gnome or google chrome?
[21:04] <ikonia> g0tcha: saymoo does it matter ?
[21:04] <Drak> please?
[21:04] <ikonia> no
[21:04] <ikonia> g0tcha: sorry, that was for saymoo
[21:04] <g0tcha> lol ok .. i was wondering at first what does saymoo stands for heheh
[21:04] <wiesshund> saymoo>>  ive an embedded linux i use sometimes, and unfortunately everything on it is done as root, you should see it get klined lol
[21:05] <saymoo> it´s a bad habbit, if he/she is indeed running as root, so better point to it
[21:05] <saymoo> :)
[21:05] <ikonia> saymoo: it's their own business
[21:05] <saymoo> i disagree, since there are many beginners here, side information is always good, to point out
[21:05] <HarryS> ikonia: not really, some users don't understand the concepts of account security and WHY you should not run everthing as root.
[21:06] <HarryS> if they are aware, so be it, but most are not aware.
[21:06] <ikonia> HarryS: if they are a beginner they would not know how to unlock the root account on ubuntu
[21:06] <ikonia> if they are smart enough to unlock the root account, they should know what they are doing
[21:06] <carnation232> i did a get apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* then sudo sh NVIDIA* tnow when i restart my cpu it says 90.1khz/84.7khz frequencey out of range, and it wont let me log into the os at all any ideas?
[21:06] <saymoo> ikonia: again, i disagree, many people, know the trick for the root password
[21:06] <HarryS> lol, when I first used Ubuntu, sudo was the first command I learned, and I prefixed it on EVERYTHING until I realized I was being bad with it.
[21:06] <ikonia> saymoo: then they are on their own
[21:06] <Gnea> saymoo: how can you be sure they're really running as root? I could easily make it so my root account isn't really an administrator anymore and run irc that way and you'd never know the difference.
[21:07] <zimmaphp> hi all newbie here. just installed desktop ubuntu 10.4 never used it before. wanted to install php 5.3 don't know how to do that or 5.2+ can someone guide me in right direction?
[21:07] <saymoo> and copying that knowlegde from eachother, but they have no idea about the dangers
[21:07] <saymoo> Gnea: read up
[21:07] <Flannel> zimmaphp: Do you want it running through apache?  or just as a standalone PHP installation?
[21:07] <Gnea> saymoo: read up yourself.
[21:07] <ikonia> ok enough now
[21:07] <ikonia> the comment has been made
[21:07] <edbian> zimmaphp, yes!  Use the php package in the repos.  sudo apt-get install php
[21:07] <zimmaphp> standalone for now
[21:08] <V0r34uS> hi
[21:08] <Flannel> zimmaphp: `sudo apt-get install php5-cli` will install php for you.
[21:08] <slidinghorn> !lamp | zimmaphp also see here
[21:08] <Flannel> zimmaphp: First, you should do `sudo apt-get update`
[21:08] <mneptok> V0r34uS: 'lu
[21:09] <shiftingcontrol> i am getting this error,E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[21:09] <shiftingcontrol> E: Unable to lock the download directory,wot am i supposed do
[21:09] <carnation232> any 1 know why my cpu gets stuck with the freguency out or range error?
[21:09] <wiesshund> Gnea>>  in all fairness, how many people actualy strip root and then use it as a user? :)
[21:09] <zimmaphp> I read somewhere on the net that php 5.3 is not avail for ubuntu?
[21:09] <carnation232> wel how to fix it
[21:09] <Gnea> wiesshund: how many people would admit to it? :)
[21:09] <LjL> zimmaphp: nonsense.
[21:10] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: do you have synaptic or another installation program running?
[21:10] <wiesshund> Gnea>>  probably only me
[21:10] <zimmaphp> Flannel I'm new at this is that at command (terminal)?
[21:10] <dade> zimmaphp, not true im running it my self PHP Version 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2
[21:10] <ikonia> !software > zimmaphp
[21:11] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:synaptic is throwing that error
[21:11] <Flannel> zimmaphp: Yeah.  Or if you would like to do it graphically, you can use Synaptic to do it, instructions for that are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto  (you're looking for the php5-cli package)
[21:11] <hangfire> What groups does a user need to be in to use cron? I'm finding that my user's scripts aren't being run (from an ok crontab)
[21:11] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: so is there anything else running, like Ubuntu software Center or aptitude?
[21:11] <V0r34uS> Someone knows the shortcut's keyboard to minimize/maximize a window ?
[21:11] <Flannel> hangfire: How many lines do you have in your crontab?
[21:11] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:nope
[21:11] <hangfire> Flannel: 7 or so
[21:11] <hangfire> Flannel: + comments
[21:12] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: you can manually remove the lockfile if you're sure
[21:12] <dade> Shiftg: sytnaptic package manager?
[21:12] <saymoo> Gnea: anyway, if you read up the messages, you would have read, that i said: ¨if they are running root¨ condition..so we cannot know for sure.. but nevertheless, giving a notice won´t hurt, since others could be informed too (¨ooh, i´m root now, thatś bad? geez i didn´t know.. handy to know..¨) kind of pass on..
[21:12] <saymoo> :)
[21:12] <mneptok> saymoo: please let the subject drop
[21:12] <dade> saymoo: i agree running as root is unessicary extra layer of fail
[21:12] <Stefanos90>  re
[21:13] <Stefanos90> soz
[21:13] <Gnea> saymoo: yeah, saw all that.
[21:13] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:yea,i m facing every tym i run synaptic for s/w installation
[21:14] <dade> shift you cant have synaptica package manager, updater, or software center open a the same time... its a safety thing
[21:14] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: when this happens, are you manually rm-ing the lockfile?
[21:14] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:yea
[21:14] <BigC> How can I enable totem to play videos from youtube from the side bar. When I search for a video, it pops up saying "Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file."
[21:15] <shiftingcontrol> have anyone tried hadoop here ?
[21:15] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: do you only use synaptic? or do you use apt-get, aptitude, or Ubuntu Software Center as well?
[21:15] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:i use all those
[21:15] <Flannel> hangfire: I don't believe you have to be in any particular group for cron.  Can you pastebin your crontab?
[21:16] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: that error will happen if you have not closed out of another APT-based program - sounds like you're trying to run more than one at the same time
[21:16] <Number5_> Hello guys, I got a situation here, my HD is full now I can't even delete files to make some space free. What tools to use, or what to do?
[21:16] <shiftingcontrol> chrissharp123:even i thot the same but i am running at a time one of those
[21:16] <chrissharp123> Number5_: live CD
[21:16] <Jordan_U> lat: shiftingcontrol
[21:16] <chendry> What's the best way to have centralized users on 10 or so servers?  Should I install / configure openldap manually, or are there turn-key solutions (webmin?  ebox?) that I could use?
[21:16] <Number5_> chrissharp123, is that the only solution??
[21:16] <hangfire> Flannel: let me try a cut-down one first. I'm seeing no errors in syslog though :(
[21:16] <Jordan_U> shiftingcontrol: Sorry, meant that to be /lastlog :)
[21:16] <mneptok> Number5_: you should be able to delete files with sudo, as most filesystems reserve blocks for root's use
[21:17] <chrissharp123> Number5_: maybe not the only, but probably the best :-)
[21:17] <randy_> chendry: for the most part, you're gonna have to learn some stuff ...
[21:17] <Flannel> Number5_: reboot to the recovery console (choose it at GRUB) and then you can prune things.  `apt-get autoclean` is a good start
[21:17] <randy_> chendry: i would say that ldap is the way to go, though
[21:17] <randy_> chendry: but, don't worry, there has been a *lot* of work done on making user administration much easier than LDAP by itself...
[21:17] <Number5_> chrissharp123, mneptok, Flannel, thnx
[21:18] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: try running synaptic from the command line for a while & see if there are any obvious errors
[21:18] <Jordan_U> shiftingcontrol: What is the output of "sudo fuser /var/cache/apt/archives/lock" ?
[21:18] <randy_> chendry: you can start here https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-authentication.html
[21:18] <chendry> randy_: yeah, i've been playing with it and saw the ldapscripts package, that seems to help a lot.  However, getting the LDAP server up and running seems difficultish
[21:18] <BigC> how do I force a ubuntu installation with a computer that has under 256 MB of ram
[21:18] <scoopex> how can i get a list of pending security updates on commandline? is there a query using apt-get/aptitude?
[21:19] <io> chendry: There are guides that can be followed with example setups, I'm sure that will help.
[21:19] <hangfire> BigC: do a server install, then only install what you need
[21:19] <Jordan_U> !alternate | BigC
[21:19] <wiesshund> BigC>>  im not sure it will actualy run
[21:19] <hangfire> BigC: (there are probably boot options too)
[21:19] <chrissharp123> !alternate | BigC
[21:19] <hangfire> BigC: 256MB is piles, btw
[21:19] <io> chendry: Did you take a look at the wiki page already?
[21:19] <shiftingcontrol> Jordan_U:/var/cache/apt/archives/lock:  5436
[21:19] <shiftingcontrol>  is the o/p
[21:20] <chendry> i just worry a bit about all of the cut-and-paste I have to do.  I don't like to cut-and-paste unless I understand exactly what I'm doing.  I think I just need to read over the documentation a bit more
[21:20] <wiesshund> under 245mb id probably run puppy
[21:20] <BigC> yes I know but still I will try, actually the computer has 96 MB of ram
[21:20] <dbugger> Hey guys. Is there a way to get create a screenshot from a video using the shell?
[21:20] <Jordan_U> shiftingcontrol: And what is the output of "ps aux | grep 5436"?
[21:20] <io> !ldap | chendry
[21:20] <chrissharp123> BigC: +1 what wiesshund says  - Lucid Puppy is based on Ubuntu
[21:20] <io> chendry: Take a look at that, it could help.
[21:20] <hangfire> dbugger: do you know the frame number?
[21:21] <randy_> chendry: there's also this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication
[21:21] <hangfire> dbugger: scrot
[21:21] <wiesshund> Puppy does well on very low end hardware
[21:21] <hangfire> dbugger: I'd use mplayer -screenshot though
[21:21] <dbugger> hangfire, since I dont know the number of frames, i was thinking of making it one from the middle.
[21:21] <zimmaphp> thank you all that helped me.

[21:22] <Broken> any way to chain load a kernel from another kernel with a kext?
[21:22] <randy_> chendry: reluctantly, OpenLDAP can be a bear to figure out initially... if you're really serious about getting it working, though, and the number of users you expect to have warrants it, you should look into reading one of the very fine manuals on OpenLDAP
[21:22] <Broken> or
[21:22] <Broken> any way to force load uboot from a kext?
[21:22] <Jordan_U> Broken: What is your actual end goal?
[21:22] <chendry> io: i'm going to give those all a good read and play around with it some more.  Thanks much!
[21:22] <Broken> or is this the wrong place to ask?
[21:23] <randy_> chendry: regardless, once the database in LDAP is set up correctly, its relatively easy to get it working on all the servers you want to be performing the authentication
[21:23] <dbugger> hangfire, ah no! I dont want to open the videos. People submit videos to me, and I want them to have a screenshot to represent them.
[21:23] <Broken> Jordan_U, pm?
[21:23] <io> chendry: No problem, ask here if you need further help during that.
[21:23] <hangfire> Flannel: yes, looks like it's a bad(?) crontab - I'll just have to test it line by line. Thanks for the hint (I thought that there was a parsing run when you edit them ..?)
[21:23] <Jordan_U> Broken: Is there a reason you don't want to keep it in channel?
[21:23] <Broken> a little...
[21:24] <UberN00b> guys what do you think if ironkey flash drives for secure data transmission/storage ?
[21:24] <Jordan_U> Broken: Ok, then you may PM me.
[21:24] <randy_> chendry: just, **make sure** you have a backup on ea. of your servers in case the LDAP server goes down for whatever reason.  i'm referring to (1) account that has admin access
[21:24] <revarr> I have an acer aspire 5740 to fix a bug I am going to update my laptops BIOS.  anyone see anything bad about this?
[21:24] <scoopex> how can i get a list of pending security updates on commandline? is there a query using apt-get/aptitude?
[21:24] <scoopex> oops
[21:24] <BigC> Also, How can I enable totem to play videos from youtube from the side bar. When I search for a video, it pops up saying "Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file."
[21:24] <hangfire> UberN00b: it uses CBC, which isn't secure. Encrypt the contents of a regular usb key yourself ;)
[21:25] <chrissharp123> shiftingcontrol: looks like you're trying to open synaptic with synaptic already running....
[21:25] <hangfire> UberN00b: wait, I'm mixing CBC and ECB up
[21:25] <chendry> randy_: so like a root account that can authenticate from /etc/passwd if LDAP dies?
[21:25] <hangfire> UberN00b: it should be fine for most purposes
[21:25] <randy_> chendry: yes, exactly!
[21:26] <randy_> chendry: and, be *careful* when you edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, any mistakes can make your system unbootable...
[21:26] <UberN00b> hangfire, give me a second to google cbc and ecb :D but ... when you say encrypt it yourself, do you mean certain software in mind or just ...erm ms office encryption + pass for access ?
[21:27] <hangfire> UberN00b: um, no. Use a rarfile w. password. They have quite good security
[21:27] <revarr> anyone also have an acer aspire 5740 and upgraded their BIOS
[21:27] <io> !anyone | revarr
[21:27] <UberN00b> hangfire, thanks a bunch :)
[21:27] <Flannel> hangfire: No, there isn't.  But one thing to be aware of is that the last line you have in there that you want to run needs a newline at the end of it (so I always hit enter twice and stick a comment down there about that comment needing to be last)
[21:28] <randy_> chendry: once you've got everything working, though, it should be a remarkably trivial and easy task to add/remove/edit users across the network.  a lot of work now, to save yourself work later, right?  should be worth it ;)
[21:28] <hangfire> Flannel: there is in gentoo :P
[21:28] <hangfire> Flannel: thanks man
[21:28] <revarr> ahh sorry
[21:28] <jtravnick65> revarr, what is the bug that your trying to fix by updating your bios?
[21:29] <chendry> randy_: indeed!  my eventual goal is to get all this down so that puppet can rebuild everything from scratch.  I can't wait for that day
[21:29] <hangfire> UberN00b: That's an easy, cross-system compatible approach. For better security, encrypt the partition (use truecrypt)
[21:29] <revarr> the brightness is not controlable via hotkeys, powermanagement, anything
[21:30] <hangfire> revarr: is there a screen brightness file in /proc/acpi ?
[21:30] <chendry> randy_: but, in general, is the process: figure out the minimal ldif you need to initially populate the database, run the ldif against a fresh openldap install, configure ldapscripts, and then use ldapscripts to add groups / users?
[21:31] <revarr> hangfire: I see a power_resorce file but nothing more.  Also Ubuntu is not picking up the acpi wmi
[21:32] <hangfire> revarr: Screen brightness control is going to be controlled through ACPI.
[21:32] <UberN00b> hangfire i assume it would take a while to explain me how to encrypt a partition, so may i ask for a link to a howto or something ?
[21:32] <hangfire> UberN00b: Truecrypt has a wizard :)
[21:32] <UberN00b> hangfire, thanks :)
[21:33] <revarr> yes there are troubles with the acpi
[21:33] <UberN00b> hangfire nice, it even passes my first look test - its free :D
[21:33] <randy_> chendry: that sounds about right.  unless you're doing fancy stuff with your ldap directory, the standard scema for unix users should be more than enough.  right now, i can't remember exactly what scemas you will need, but, the good thing about ldap is you can do more than just unix login with it.  you can also make it act as the e-mail addressbook, etc.....
[21:34] <edbian> UberN00b, All of gnu/Linux is free :)
[21:34] <revarr> hangfire: I have installed Ubuntu a few times and this is the common issue between the hardwarre and software I guess?  I'm not the most versed at this
[21:34] <hangfire> edbian: there are many programs which can be installed which are not.
[21:35] <chendry> randy_: great - well, I think i'm on the right track then.  Thank you very much for your help!
[21:35] <edbian> hangfire, Free as in beer, I am aware that there is software that is not free as in freedom :)
[21:35] <hangfire> revarr: you will need to get acpi working to get brightness control. Take a look at settings in BIOS / search for your motherboard id online for a guide
[21:35] <hangfire> edbian: no, I meant programs that you pay for.
[21:35] <edbian> hangfire, There are things in the repos that you must pay for?
[21:35] <randy_> chendry: oh, and, here is a little know ldap editor i found to work very very well: http://directory.apache.org/studio/
[21:35] <hangfire> edbian: (not in the repos)
[21:36] <edbian> hangfire, ahh, ok thanks :)  I think we're on the same page now
[21:36] <revarr> hangfire: I have tried.  The current solution seems to be a patch along with adding acpi_osi="Linux" to the kernel loader
[21:36] <revarr> but the patch doesn't work
[21:36] <hangfire> edbian: piles of scientific / engineering tools have linux clients (because they just go faster :P )
[21:36] <revarr> hangfire: also said patch mentioned updating the bios
[21:36] <hangfire> revarr: then do so :)
[21:37] <randy_> chendry: subsequently, that ldap editor can be setup to also make changes to the LDAP server's new config system...
[21:37] <revarr> trying
[21:38] <hangfire> revarr: when you're updating bios, yoda says "do or do not, ... " :)
[21:38] <revarr> hangfire: but when I follow the steps to set up an iso of FreeDOS all the files for my BIOS update do not copy
[21:38] <revarr> hangfire: because it states that the temp directory I created and mounted is out of memory
[21:38] <hangfire> revarr: What medium are you using? a USB key?
[21:38] <revarr> trying to
[21:39] <revarr> hangfire: trying to.  Though I have tried a CD as well
[21:39] <revarr> hangfire: both times the files refused to copy
[21:39] <hangfire> revarr: When do you get the OOM error?
[21:39] <duffydack> id rather wipe my system and install windows just to run a bios update than trust any dos program.. but thats just me...
[21:39] <hangfire> revarr: How are you creating the bootable usb key ?
[21:40] <revarr> hangfire: when I try to copy my files from where I have them to the temporary directory I have mounted
[21:40] <HarryS> I upgraded to 10.04, and somehow apache2 got installed. I try apt-get removing it, and it says no package exists, but it's running right now.. www-data  1893  0.0  0.1  22284  3584 ?        S    16:25   0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
[21:40] <hangfire> duffydack: actually, general wisdom says that you shouldn't trust windows-based flashers :)
[21:40] <HarryS> What to do?
[21:40] <hangfire> duffydack: freedos is a pretty solid environment
[21:40] <hangfire> revarr: Are you following a guide? (link)
[21:40] <duffydack> hangfire, I`ll trust the flashers for my dell, not let me down yet..
[21:40] <jukebox-zero> has anyone here done any dual-booting with Mint Isadora & Lucid?
[21:41] <hangfire> duffydack: dell once cost me a dvd burner :-/
[21:41] <revarr> hangfire: yes I am a second.  Also it seems FreeDOS doesn't load correctly I beleive
[21:41] <duffydack> hangfire, I get a replacement laptop if i even sneeze on it :)

[21:42] <hangfire> revarr: If you're not already using it, use 'unetbootin' to create the live-USB
[21:42] <revarr> hangfire: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789.  I did use Unetbootin for FreeDOS and I added the update on the USB as well
[21:42] <jukebox-zero> Now when I boot grub 2 exits to recovery after saying there is no such partition, so I gotta use the super grub boot disk which loads Lucid just fine but doesn't find my Isadora install, which I can mount once lucid is running and looks fine, but this isn't the first grub issue I've had since installing lucid. Wondered if anyone else had grub issues with lucid?
[21:42] <duffydack> revarr, personally for isos I use http://psychoticspoon.blogspot.com/2009/01/booting-multiple-livecds-from-single.html ..  just cat the iso, simple.
[21:43] <revarr> hangfire: I will try this method
[21:44] <hangfire> revarr: which method are you using? M3 looks pretty easy to arrange
[21:44] <jukebox-zero> This is also the first time I updated-dist rather than a fresh install migrated from 9.07 to Lucid.
[21:45] <hangfire> revarr: actually scratch that - M3 doesnt' work with grub-2
[21:45] <revarr> ohh
[21:45] <barfster> How can I make this not busy? # umount /dev/hdc1
[21:45] <barfster> umount: /var/www: device is busy
[21:46] <revarr> hangfire: this OS is nice but some of this issues are just weird
[21:46] <barfster> I did /etc/apache2 stop
[21:46] <hangfire> barfster: `lsof | grep <mountpoint>` - then stop whatever is using the mount point
[21:46] <revarr> hangfire: I tried to step back to 9.10 but that is a black screen with the live CD.  Seems like something is wrong every time I try on this comp
[21:47] <hangfire> revarr: well, updating bios is traditionally a pain in linux :(
[21:47] <hangfire> revarr: What kind of file is the BIOS update in?
[21:47] <cesc_> hi there... does anyone know a way to stop web advertising. I'm sick of it. It makes loading web sites slow. In windows I used to edit the host file. Which solution for ubuntu?
[21:48] <brontoeee> how do i make thumbnails appear for avi, mp4 and other files in nautilus?
[21:48] <hangfire> cesc_: 1./ don't - ads keep the web alive. 2./ adblock
[21:48] <jukebox-zero> ... well hell. Guess I'll grab grub2 from the debian sid repo and see if that fixes it. It's fixed issues for me before in karmic.
[21:49] <NginUS> cesc_ : firefox extensions: adblock plus & flashblock
[21:49] <cesc_> thanks hangfire and NginUS
[21:50] <jukebox-zero> cesc_: Also might switch your DNS servers to opendns if you get redirected by your ISP a lot.

[21:51] <JacobF> Hi, I'm on Lucid and all was working well until today I started using two monitors and now when I start up I get an error, I think related to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/531027 what do I do? I can't get in.
[21:51] <revarr> hangfire:  bat files and exe files I'm just saying in general.  saying I'm out of memory when I'm not
[21:52] <randomguy> In 9.10 I cannot access any network as non-root. Not in gnome ($ firefox) nor on tty ($ ping). As root it works in gnome (e.g. sudo firefox) and tty (sudo ping). In the gnome user admin program, I checked all boxes including networking permissions for the ubuntu user. Still they can't connect. Any clue? Is this possibly related to kernel .config option that prohibits non-root network usage ?
[21:52] <NginUS> cesc_ : open an account with opendns & set up filtering

[21:56] <thune3> HarryS: /usr/sbin/apache2 can be installed (if i'm reading this right) by several different apache2-mpm... packages. see if any apache2-* files are installed. "dpkg -l | grep apache2"
[21:56] <jimi_>  trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libabiword-2.8.so', which is also in package abiword-sugar 0:2.8.0~ppa1

[21:57] <HarryS> thune3: yeah, I wondered how it got installed though, I never requested it be installed, EVER. Is it in the 9.10 -> 10.04 release required packages or something?
[21:57] <barfster> Is there an older version of lsof?
[21:57] <revarr> anyone here have an Acer 5740 as well?
[21:58] <chrissharp123> jimi_: where did you get the abiword package you're trying to install?
[21:58] <a-> test
[21:58] <jimi_> chrissharp123, im not sure...  im not trying to install it, i was doing an update
[21:58] <chrissharp123> jimi_: ah... hmm
[21:59] <chrissharp123> jimi_: I see - you are using a PPA for another package, yes?
[22:00] <JacobF> chrissharp123: I can get to command line login but can't start gdm
[22:00] <jimi_> chrissharp123, what are PPA packages?
[22:00] <JacobF> it stops with the startup dots on the screen

[22:00] <evergreenterrace> hey guys, does anyone know how I can play stuff from Spotify website?
[22:01] <nobriel> hi
[22:01] <evergreenterrace> I get this warning "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (spotify) isn't associated with any program."
[22:01] <chrissharp123> JacobF: have you seen this?: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[22:01] <edbian> evergreenterrace, What's in the address bar??
[22:01] <nubE> hi all
[22:01] <edbian> evergreenterrace, It's referring to http://
[22:01] <edbian> evergreenterrace, or file:///
[22:01] <JacobF> chrissharp123: no, I'll look at it now
[22:01] <chrissharp123> jimi_: you can see which PPAs you have by going to System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[22:01] <evergreenterrace> edbian, http://open.spotify.com/track/0s0GSgtocAsmI1r7nU8uLu?ref=search

[22:02] <Flannel> !mintsupport | jukebox-zero
[22:03] <edbian> evergreenterrace, I have no idea how it's supposed to work though :(  That's the problem.  Firefox knows what to do with http://www.somesite.com  or file:///home  or ftp://someOtherSite.com
[22:03] <jukebox-zero> i love bots. :D
[22:03] <edbian> evergreenterrace, It has no idea what spotify:<something>  is used for.  Am I making sense?
[22:04] <randomguy> barfster: what is your problem with the current version of lsof ?
[22:04] <evergreenterrace> edbian, yeah I think I get your point
[22:04] <edbian> evergreenterrace, I hope you can figure it out!  That's on odd site.
[22:04] <evergreenterrace> edbian,  thanks anyway dude!
[22:05] <thune3> HarryS: it seems weird. There are some other packages (ebox,webgui,moodle,openguides,cortado...) that could pull in one of those apache2-mpm packages. I would assume you accidentally instaeed one of them. Did "dpkg -l | grep apache" return anything?
[22:06] <HarryS> thune3: I am 99.9999% sure nothing apache related was installed prior to upgrading. http://pastebin.com/rzewU8RM is the results of "dpkg -l | grep apache"
[22:06] <mcnellis> I know someone who is workingon an open source project and I volunteered to make an ubuntu ppa for it. I'm lookin for soe general guidelines to help me create the PPA can anyone point me in the right direction?
[22:06] <jukebox-zero> Okay... maybe I'm an idiot and missing something. in xchat, how do I specify I want to connect to irc.spotchat.org? Doesn't seem to be in the pre-loaded list.
[22:07] <mcnellis> I've already set up my launchpad account and signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct and uploaded that I'm to the point now i need to upload the .deb or add the dependencies or whatever I'm not exactly sure what i need to do next to actually get the project up in the PPA
[22:07] <wiesshund> jukebox-zero>>  /server server.name.com
[22:07] <Pudgy> Is it possible to play sound (via mpg123 or something) through ssh?
[22:07] <slidinghorn> jukebox-zero, in the network list, you can click the add button to the right of the networks
[22:07] <jukebox-zero> wiesshund: Thanks
[22:07] <wiesshund> jukebox-zero>>  you can add it to the list also
[22:08] <jukebox-zero> wiesshund, slidinghorn: ah, didn't look far enough I guess. Thanks guys.
[22:09] <NorthByNorthWest> hi all! heres one strange problem.. Ive built a e1000e.ko network driver to get proper speed in my network adapter... men when rebooting the old version of the e1000e gets loaded anyway and I haver to rmmod it and insmod the new one...
[22:10] <NorthByNorthWest> heres a "find" of e1000e* from my computer... any suggestions? http://pastebin.com/zkqNwXtX
[22:10] <froschi> Pudgy: i.e. mplayer accepts '-' on the commandline happyly ... so you cat 'cat localfile | ssh user@host mplayer -' or the other way round: 'ssh user@host cat remotefile | mplayer -' ... i do that from time to time
[22:11] <randomguy> NorthByNorthWest: according to that find, there is only one e1000e.ko file on your system
[22:11] <randomguy> NorthByNorthWest: # modinfo e1000e
[22:11] <barfster> randomguy: # cat /etc/issue
[22:11] <barfster> Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 \n \l
[22:11] <NorthByNorthWest> randomguy:  ill try that
[22:11] <randomguy> NorthByNorthWest: check which version it is
[22:12] <thune3> HarryS: maybe see if this one returns anything  "apt-cache rdepends --installed libapache2-mod-php5"

[22:18] <evergreenterrace> I'm trying to upload a picture to a social network through firefox but when I browse it, it doesn't show up on the list, even though I'm sure it's in the directory in which I'm looking for. Does anyone have any idea why this happens?
[22:19] <randomguy> In 9.10 I cannot access any network as non-root. Not in gnome ($ firefox) nor on tty ($ ping). As root it works in gnome (e.g. sudo firefox) and tty (sudo ping). In the gnome user admin program, I checked all boxes including networking permissions for the ubuntu user. Still they can't connect. Any clue? Is this possibly related to kernel .config option that prohibits non-root network usage ?
[22:19] <hiexpo> preecher,  just see whats in it video card wifi card etc and see if it is compatable
[22:19] <pure_hate> hola hiexpo

[22:20] <mariooo> hi, good afternoon. Some buddy could tell me how can I restore the free drivers of my wlan, i installed the privative driver and now my wlan is not working at all
[22:20] <mariooo> :)
[22:20] <mariooo> :(
[22:20] <osmodivs> how do i install an Intel driver?
[22:20] <ilovefairuz> randomguy: what error do you get when you try to ping for example?
[22:21] <evergreenterrace> ilovefairuz, yeah, but the thing is, I can see it when I attempt to upload it to a different website
[22:21] <ilovefairuz> osmodivs: driver of what? most are installed by default
[22:21] <slidinghorn> osmodivs, what *kind* of intel driver?
[22:21] <NorthByNorthWest> randomguy: weird... after a fresh reboot modinfo shoes this: http://pastebin.com/ZjNkYsC8 but "lshw -C network" says this: http://pastebin.com/w5h14jua They show different versions of the driver!
[22:21] <osmodivs> Sound driver
[22:21] <hawkal> are there any log files that I can check to see why my computer crashed?
[22:21] <ilovefairuz> evergreenterrace: this is rather strange, try pressing ctrl + h to show all files
[22:21] <osmodivs> wait, i think it is for the ETH0
[22:21] <wiesshund> evergreenterrace>>  perhaps the file is in wrong format for the site your trying to upload to?
[22:21] <osmodivs> yes
[22:21] <slidinghorn> evergreenterrace, sounds like the pic isn't a supported format of the site
[22:22] <preecher> hiexpo -i didnt kno external harddrives had video an wifi cards in them but ill ask and see--thanks
[22:22] <osmodivs> well, i have lots of problems here
[22:22] <hawkal> what are they?
[22:22] <osmodivs> but i have the Ethernet driver here
[22:22] <ilovefairuz> osmodivs: eth0 is a network interface not a sound card, pastebin lshw
[22:22] <randomguy> NorthByNorthWest: just a first thought: maybe the driver info is hardcoded where it is looked up by the lshw program ?
[22:22] <wiesshund> preecher>>  i think he meant that for someone else
[22:22] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: let me check
[22:22] <evergreenterrace> slidinghorn, it's .jpeg just like other files it detects normally
[22:22] <JacobF> chrissharp123: I tried adding 'nornodeset' where that article suggested but it didn't help.  When I try to start gdm with 'sudo start gdm' it says 'gdm start/running, process 1585' and nothing happens
[22:22] <osmodivs> ilovefairuz: no, it is Ethernet
[22:22] <carlosleon> Hi there o/
[22:23] <hiexpo> preecher,  i would suggest geting ubuntu live cd and run it and see how it  goes
[22:23] <evergreenterrace> slidinghorn, ok not .jpeg, but .jpg
[22:23] <ilovefairuz> osmodivs: pastebin lshw
[22:23] <ilovefairuz> !hi | carlosleon
[22:23] <osmodivs> Since an electrical storm burned my power surge, the ethernet port does not work, i am on a wifi right now, so some one sugested to reinstal the driver
[22:23] <evergreenterrace> ilovefairuz, done that, still no good
[22:23] <NorthByNorthWest> randomguy: well... if I do a rmmod and then an insmod with the e1000e.ko-path lshw gives me the correct driver version, and the network runs att full speed again!
[22:23] <osmodivs> And the sound got messed up too...
[22:24] <osmodivs> but thats another theme
[22:24] <ilovefairuz> evergreenterrace: rename the file?
[22:24] <randomguy> NorthByNorthWest: ok then forget about that
[22:24] <ilovefairuz> evergreenterrace: or even move to a different location
[22:24] <evergreenterrace> ilovefairuz, also tried that already
[22:24] <thune3> HarryS: you could also look through /var/log/apt/term.log (must be sudo/gksudo) for apache2 to guess what might have installed these packages (and when).
[22:24] <ilovefairuz> osmodivs: that would be a hardware issue, not a driver issue
[22:25] <osmodivs> So, my Mobo is dead?
[22:25] <osmodivs> Can a MObo die?
[22:25] <mcnellis> I'm trying to set up a PPA and reading the docs here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete It says to use the command dh_make like dh_make -e your.maintainer@address but I'm not sure what your.maintainer@address is
[22:25] <osmodivs> It can't die, i need internet and sound!!
[22:25] <mcnellis> is it my  email address? or is it my OpenID?
[22:25] <ilovefairuz> mcnellis: your email
[22:26] <mcnellis> thanks ilovefairuz
[22:26] <Oer> osmodivs, yes, a mobo can die, check the inside if it needs any dusting, that could solve problems too
[22:26] <ineedhelp09> can anyone tell me how to get rid of the low graficmode error: http://pastebin.com/rGnEyLgm
[22:27] <ineedhelp09> its about poulsbo drivers
[22:27] <osmodivs> Oer: i cleen my Mobo everyweek, since it doesent even have a case
[22:27] <osmodivs> Oer: Well, it's an open case
[22:27] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: I need to setup something before I can test. 1sec

[22:28] <nimbiotics_> Hi. Whats up with v10.04? it shows asuch  weird behavior, i cant even xplain it. Its like it doesnt respond to mouse events, just a bit more complicated,. Any explanations or fixes? TIA!
[22:28] <carlosleon> I have set up two real desktops using ATI Catalyst Control Center. Withing each real desktop, I have four virtual Desktops. But at this time, I'm working on the secondary desktop and I can move between the virtual desktops on it, but I have no idea how to switch to the "principal" desktop. May somebody help me please? I have googled for a couple hours with no success.
[22:28] <randomguy> NorthByNorthWest: I wonder where your system is taking two different versions of the module form from while you only have one e1000e.ko
[22:28] <ilovefairuz> osmodivs: take it to #hardware
[22:28] <soreau> ineedhelp09: It says drm open failed. There may be a hint in dmesg. Can you pastebin your complete X log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) and the output of dmesg?
[22:29] <osmodivs> The weird thing here was, my PC worked with Ubuntu 8.4 livecd, but not with a 10.04
[22:29] <ilovefairuz> nimbiotics_: well you have to describe your problem if you're hoping for a fix

[22:31] <carlosleon> soreau: I'm using Compiz Fusion. Where did you say that I can download that plugin?
[22:31] <nimbiotics_> ilovefairuz> I said it, OS stops accepting mouse input intermitently
[22:31] <hiexpo> !pm | wiesshund
[22:31] <soreau> iskin: Which graphics driver are you using?
[22:31] <uRock> osmodivs, buy a case and put a fan in it
[22:31] <ilovefairuz> iskin: switch to run level 3 and use: Xorg -configure  .. to generate an xorg.conf

[22:33] <ilovefairuz> revarr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[22:33] <soreau> iskin: Since fglrx supports xrandr1.2 at least, you may be able to add the new mode with xrandr, though it would only be active for that session. If it works, then you can put a mode line in your xorg.conf
[22:33] <hiexpo> wiesshund,  well if i said hard drive that was a miss should have been system
[22:33] <NorthByNorthWest> randomguy: theres a folder /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/modules/driver that when I list it contains a file named pci:e1000e, its listed in the color turquise, whats that?

[22:43] <hiexpo> mariooo,  that is one of the best cards out there it does lots of neat  stuff outta the box no patches needed or drivers ubuntu already has them
[22:43] <slidinghorn> hendaus, you need to provide more details -- what did you update?  what version of virtual box?  what happens when you try to open it?  any errors?  What about if you try through terminal?
[22:43] <wiesshund> hendaus>>  thats not alot to work on, can you be a bit more specific?
[22:43] <uRock> then it should be in the System> Preferences> mouse unless you edited the Main Menu
[22:44] <realopty> uRock, the pref setting is there i can go into mouse settings
[22:44] <realopty> but it dont say 'scroll speed'
[22:44] <realopty> is there a file i can edit?
[22:44] <mariooo> :s hiexpo
[22:45] <uRock> realopty, I don't think it is adjustable.
[22:45] <hendaus> slidinghorn,  what should i type on terminal?
[22:45] <soreau> ineedhelp09: maybe drm is crashing somehow then. But you'd still need to login with a user that is part of the video group
[22:45] <mariooo> ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/6upeeNbu
[22:45] <hiexpo> mariooo,  :s whats that mean

[22:50] <soreau> ineedhelp09: Run that command with sudo then log out
[22:50] <erUSUL> orsh: then why you downloaded the 64 bit driver ?
[22:50] <uRock> orsh, the driver you are trying to install is for 64 bit
[22:51] <orsh> 32 and 64 bit are in the same package
[22:51] <erUSUL> orsh: ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run the x86_64 means 64 bits
[22:51] <erUSUL> orsh: ok
[22:52] <jimi_> chrissharp123, i had to go pick up a mate who ran out of gas, and your message is out of my scroll back
[22:52] <soreau> orsh: More importantly, why are you trying to manually install the proprietary catalyst driver? Unless you have an HD5xxx card that should not be necessary
[22:52] <mariooo> ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/st9EFEEE
[22:52] <orsh> soreau i cant enable desktop efects
[22:52] <soreau> orsh: The open radeon driver supports all radeon cards except the HD5xxx series (yet) and fglrx doesn't support older radeon cards

[22:53] <orsh> ati radeon x1300/x1550

[22:53] <ineedhelp09> soreau: im part of the video group now but the low grafic mode problem remains :<
[22:54] <orsh> soreau what should i do?
[22:54] <ilovefairuz> mariooo: the card has a functional driver, remove ndiswrapper
[22:54] <soreau> orsh: So you need to remove all fglrx driver packages you installed and reboot so the radeon driver can work
[22:54] <soreau> ineedhelp09: Can you pastebin X log and dmesg again now?
[22:54] <ineedhelp09> ok sure
[22:54] <orsh> soreau how to remove all fglrx?

[22:55] <lm3620> how do I unblock port 37
[22:55] <soreau> orsh: Did you install fglrx yet? ie. xorg-driver-fglrx package. If so, remove it. If you haven't installed anything yet, pastebin the output of 'compiz --replace' from your terminal to pastebin.com
[22:55] <hiexpo> i use that card alfa

[22:57] <ilovefairuz> lm3620: for incoming connections?
[22:57] <Number6> I need to remove some files
[22:57] <erUSUL> lm3620: maybe you have to set up your router? or install the server/daemon that listens there
[22:57] <actionParsnip> Number6: I'd boot to liveCD, chroot to the installed system and remove some packages
[22:57] <soreau> orsh: If synaptic was the only method you used to install the driver, yes
[22:57] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: ping www.google.com: unknwon host (with non-root)
[22:57] <erUSUL> Number6: boot into recovery mode ( in grub menu )
[22:58] <Number6> actionParsnip, I used LiveCD, but had no p[ermission to modify files (or remove)
[22:58] <soreau> orsh: After removing fglrx, you should reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and -dri packages
[22:58] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: this is happening with any network interface (I tried 3 different devices)
[22:58] <actionParsnip> Number6: you will if you chroot

[23:02] <soreau> ineedhelp09: It looks like drm might be crashing. Since I'm not experienced with this particular intel gpu, I will have to refer you to #intel-gfx (pastebin your logs there and be prepared to wait)
[23:02] <mcnellis> bah I'mstill not sure, maybey ou can help me again coz_ I have an audio program that generates spectrograms. It's built on gtk though should I make its section Gnome like rhythmbox?
[23:02] <actionParsnip> Number6: yeah there is a USB bug with grub
[23:02] <mcnellis> or is that section reserved for gtk packages that are included with gnome by default?
[23:03] <actionParsnip> Number6: boot to liveCD then chroot, you can then remove packages as you wish
[23:03] <soreau> ineedhelp09: btw, does 'groups' show you are part of the video group now?
[23:03] <ineedhelp09> soreau: okay np. still thanks alot for helping

[23:03] <pooky> I'm trying to use mutt and gmail, and I keep recieving a gnutls error. I searched on google, where it seems lots of people have the problem, but I haven't been able to find the fix. Any suggestions?
[23:03] <soreau> ok
[23:03] <soreau> well that was my only idea
[23:03] <coz_> mcnellis,  mm good question...since its built around gtk i would think that would be a good choice  under graphics applications

[23:05] <mcnellis> When i previously built the .deb from source and then installed the .deb it automatically put it there which I was surprised, but how does it decide?

[23:05] <ineedhelp09> yea ^^
[23:05] <mcnellis> the package previously required gstreamer so maybe that's how it decided? It requires ffmpeg instead of gstreamer now though

[23:12] <Number6> Hi guys, I use LiveCD to solve my problems. How can I chroot to my Ubuntu disk. For now I can only open the disk to copy files. But I have no write access. I do this using GUI, at the moment I don't know how to do that on command line if it's needed.
[23:12] <actionParsnip> !chroot
[23:12] <thefreebro> thanks got my pass changed
[23:12] <soreau> ! work | carlosleon
[23:13] <ilovefairuz> Number6: why chroot ? not need to copy files
[23:13] <erUSUL> Number6: the grub2 page has a step by step on how to do it ( the part about recovering grub )

[23:14] <nimbiotics> ilovefairuz> heres my Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/MMqtJevk
[23:15] <pooky> actionParsnip: so the answer is to just not use mutt's smtp support?
[23:15] <online> cant open synaptic package manager and software center,anay help
[23:15] <Number6> Guys, this is the problem now, I can access to the folders I need, but I can't remove some files which make my Ubuntu get stuck on startup. Now how can I get permission to delete some files.
[23:15] <erUSUL> online: error msg ?
[23:15] <orsh> soreau u there?
[23:15] <online> i got error
[23:15] <randomguy> Athunye: if you want to get rid of them entirely you can use synaptic or apt-get remove to delete them from the system or you can remove init scripts in /etc/init.d
[23:15] <online> yes
[23:15] <Sjors> Hi, can anyone test something for me? I think I've found a bug and I want to know whether I'm the only one
[23:15] <randomguy> Athunye: but that's ugly
[23:15] <actionParsnip> pooky: no idea, all i know is that guide exists
[23:15] <randomguy> Sjors: shoot
[23:15] <online> erusul yes
[23:15] <ilovefairuz> randomguy: when did you start getting this error? did you install anything ?
[23:15] <erUSUL> Number6: use « gksudo nautilus » handle with care a rooted file manager is a weapon of mass destruction
[23:15] <Number6> It's midnight here and I hope to find a simple solution to solve my problem
[23:16] <chrissharp123> !details | online
[23:16] <online> erusol i got error mssg
[23:16] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: since I installed ubuntu
[23:16] <soreau> orsh: sure
[23:16] <Number6> erUSUL, thank you my friend
[23:16] <mcnellis> is there an easy way to get the list of dependencies for a package?
[23:16] <erUSUL> online: we have to guess it or you are going to tell us ?
[23:16] <Athunye> randomguy: I don't want to remove those packages, becuase I need them. I just want to stop them from boot time.
[23:16] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: it never worked. I really suspect it is kernel related for that and other reasons...
[23:16] <online> chrisharp123 ubuntu 10.04
[23:16] <erUSUL> mcnellis: aptitude show packagename
[23:16] <Sjors> in the login screen, when nobody is logged in, go to the universal access options, then enable the onscreen keyboard - a new window will flash and then disappear
[23:16] <Sjors> does this happen for you too, randomguy / others?
[23:16] <mcnellis> erUSUL: I'm making a PPA for a package of which I only have the source.
[23:16] <Sjors> ubuntu 10.04
[23:16] <orsh> soreau same now,even my display monitor dosent recogniz now
[23:16] <ilovefairuz> randomguy: did you tweak anything ?
[23:16] <Sjors> happens for me in the 64-bit edition in vmware fusion on my Mac
[23:17] <pooky> so mutt smtp is broken for gmail in ubuntu?
[23:17] <mcnellis> sorry my first statement wasn't enough information heh erUSUL
[23:17] <online> erusul cant initialize the package info
[23:17] <randomguy> Sjors: let me check. I was about to mess around with on screen keyboard too! (got ts device here)
[23:17] <soreau> orsh: Are you able to pastebin the X log from that failed session?
[23:17] <orsh> soreau now i cnat change resulution to
[23:17] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: yes I have an entirely different kernel configuration vs ubuntu kernel config
[23:17] <online> any help
[23:17] <Sjors> randomguy: great ;-)
[23:17] <orsh> soreau how to check  x log?
[23:17] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: I am using the arm rootfs of 10.04 generated using rootstock program
[23:17] <soreau> orsh: Pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:18] <Number6> erUSUL, this way doesn't show me the ubuntu-disk. If I open nautilus as a normal user, than I do see the ubuntu-disk!
[23:18] <randomguy> quick question: how can I restrict a program to have only one instance (system wide or gnome) ?
[23:18] <online> i got messge('E:Type 'exit' is not known on line 36 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.'
[23:18] <Number6> erUSUL, on cmd-line mode I don't know how to do that
[23:18] <Sjors> randomguy: by locking a pidfile :)
[23:18] <Number6> erUSUL, I mean I don't know how to mount to my ubuntu-disk
[23:18] <erUSUL> Number6: « gksudo nautilus /mount/point/of/ubuntu/disk »
[23:18] <randomguy> Sjors: can you elaborate?
[23:18] <online> ubuntu 10.04
[23:19] <Sjors> randomguy: what you do is: check /var/run/appname.lck, take a PID from that file if it exists, then kill -0 it; if that works then another instance is already running
[23:19] <soreau> orsh: Are you able to get into X? If not I can tell you how to paste it from command line
[23:19] <pradeep> hi everyone
[23:19] <Sjors> randomguy: otherwise, write your own PID to the file, done
[23:19] <chrissharp123> online, can you copy and paste the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com ?
[23:19] <Sjors> randomguy: what works even better is to use DBUS and just check if a service is already available, if so exit, if not take it
[23:19] <Number6> erUSUL, the problem is I don't know how to mount to ubuntu-disk. As a normal user Nautilus somehow magiacally shows me the ubuntu-disk\
[23:20] <orsh> soreau how to get into x?
[23:20] <soreau> orsh: I mean like logging in
[23:20] <orsh> yes i can login
[23:20] <erUSUL> Number6: if it is mounted for the normal user it is mounted for all users
[23:20] <ineedhelp09> Oer: I installed those poulsbo drivers but it just lets me boot in low grafic mode
[23:20] <erUSUL> Number6: see the output of the mount command
[23:20] <actionParsnip> Number6: you can mount the partition in the places menu, you can then run: gksudo nautilus   and get write access. The partition will be mounted as it's UUID under /media
[23:20] <orsh> soreau tell me how to paste it from comand line
[23:21] <randomguy> Sjors: do you have some sample bash script for the manual pidfile method ?
[23:21] <lm3620> please help me when I telnet to port 37 of my local host it fails. how could I open port 37 the time server.
[23:21] <soreau> orsh: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
[23:21] <actionParsnip> lm3620: if you run: netstat -a     is the port listening?
[23:21] <erUSUL> lm3620: do « sudo lsof -i :37 »
[23:21] <lm3620> thank you
[23:21] <Sjors> randomguy: manual pidfile is usually what servers do - DBUS is sort of a "newer non-UNIX approach"
[23:22] <ilovefairuz> lm3620: is the server running ?
[23:22] <randomguy> Sjors: it is for openning only one instance of wicd-client program when tapping the icon in gnome-panel
[23:23] <soreau> orsh: The last line of output should be a link to the X log
[23:23] <mcnellis> Anyone have any suggestions for determining the dependencies of some software of which i have the source and am trying to create a .deb for
[23:23] <online> chrissharp123 i already paste it
[23:23] <Sjors> randomguy: for GNOME / gtk applications, use dbus integration, it's a lot easier programming-wise
[23:23] <Sjors> randomguy: but maybe gtk has stuff for it - I know kdelibs does
[23:24] <erUSUL> lm3620: that wont open the port. that will show us if there is actually something listening on that port
[23:24] <chrissharp123> online: URL?
[23:24] <Sjors> randomguy: with kdelibs / qt, you can just say: I want only one instance of this application ever
[23:24] <pradeep> Chrissharp123 http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/YiZc73Cc
[23:25] <ilovefairuz> mcnellis: apt-get build-dep
[23:25] <Sjors> randomguy: it automatically does the stuff via dbus :)
[23:25] <orsh> soreau http://sprunge.us/gcOJ  check this output
[23:25] <randomguy> Sjors: ok. I tried to reconstruct your problem: I logged out (not switch user) and in the gnome login screen I tapped the global access icon and chose on screen keyboard. a nice window pops up and ---- stays open.
[23:25] <Sjors> randomguy: hm :/
[23:25] <mcnellis> ilovefairuz: but how do I use it if I don't have the .deb made already?
[23:26] <Sjors> randomguy: weird, this is on 10.04? I just took the non-updated isos from ubuntu.com
[23:26] <Sjors> randomguy: problem is that I can't seem to type in there, probably vmware fusion did something wrong
[23:26] <ilovefairuz> mcnellis: are you patching a deb from standard repositories?
[23:27] <ilovefairuz> mcnellis: just apt-get build-dep packagename
[23:27] <soreau> orsh: You need to install the radeon driver.. you must have removed it by mistake
[23:27] <Number6> actionParsnip that did the dtrick!! Pffff, it got me nuts... The problem is I don't have much time, it's 00:30 h am here. Tomorrow I got to work
[23:27] <mcnellis> no ilovefairuz I just have the source for this program and I've volunteered to make an Ubuntu PPA for it
[23:27] <Number6> actionParsnip, erUSUL once again thank you very much.
[23:27] <mcnellis> the package author uses Arch Linux
[23:27] <erUSUL> Number6: no problem; all solved now ?
[23:27] <chrissharp123> online: can you now post the output of 'sudo apt-get update' and share the URL?
[23:27] <orsh> soreau ok i will do now with synaptic
[23:28] <soreau> orsh: xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[23:28] <ilovefairuz> mcnellis: then read its docs to determine the libs requires, also check the 'configure' file
[23:28] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: so I actually have millions of things that are different from stock x86 ubuntu - but. if you assume that people test the rootstock generated ARM rootfilesystem I doubt the problem is on ubuntu side. I rather think my kernel config is messed up
[23:28] <peluchin> if i can play whit playonlinux prototype?
[23:28] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: the thing is I can perform all other stuff just normal. it is just the network that can't be accessed by non root
[23:28] <randomguy> Sjors: sorry I only used qemu in the past
[23:29] <ilovefairuz> randomguy: you'd probably have more luck in #kernel
[23:29] <chrissharp123> pradeep: are you also online ?
[23:29] <pradeep> chrissharp123, what do you mean
[23:29] <mcnellis> hmm ilovefairuz isn't there an easier way? I actually previously made a .deb for this package before and somehow I ended up with a sufficient list of dependencies lol not sure how though
[23:29] <pradeep> am using my ubunt laptop
[23:30] <chrissharp123> pradeep: I mean, I asked the user online  for his /etc/apt/sources.list and you responded with yours :-)
[23:30] <mcnellis> I'm a noob at this ilovefairuz and the configure file seems to be thousands of lines long lol
[23:30] <systm> how do i set up hdmi out using Propriortary ati (on laptop)
[23:30] <Zeus__> Does anyone know how I can get the Powered by Ubuntu sticker?
[23:30] <ilovefairuz> mcnellis: check the package manifesto in arch ?
[23:30] <actionParsnip> Number6: i suggest once you get booted, uninstall old kernels, this will get you ~120Mb per kernel
[23:30] <Jordan_U> Zeus__: http://www.system76.com/article_info.php?articles_id=9
[23:30] <actionParsnip> Number6: also uninstal openoffice and install abiword if you only use writer
[23:31] <actionParsnip> Number6: lots of space saved :)
[23:31] <orsh> soreau ok i must to reboot now see u after reboot
[23:31] <Number6> erUSUL, actionParsnip , another problem arise! Somehow GRUB is now showing the menu, but my keyboard doesn't react in this menu.
[23:31] <randomguy> ilovefairuz: ok thank you very much.
[23:32] <blag> my lucid server has simply hard-powered off at random times for the past few days.  this is getting quite aggravating, so what can i do to log the problem?
[23:32] <lubo_> hello. could someone explain me what following thing does? apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.xx
[23:32] <actionParsnip> Number6: just hangout, it will timeout
[23:32] <ilovefairuz> randomguy: good luck
[23:32] <Number6> actionParsnip, really??
[23:32] <ilovefairuz> lubo_: it fetches all packages needed to compile a package
[23:32] <ilovefairuz> lubo_: man apt-get
[23:33] <Number6> actionParsnip, it's a grub 1.97 (ubuntu 9.10)
[23:33] <lubo_> ilovefairuz: Are the packages then those here? http://packages.debian.org/experimental/linux-source-2.6.35
[23:33] <lubo_> binutils, bzip2,gcc, and so on?
[23:34] <ritztech> anyone know a good scripting helper site ( is live person.com good or is there better thanks)
[23:34] <Jordan_U> Number6: If it doesn't timeout in about 5 seconds then it's not going to.
[23:34] <flomaster> my root password I set up on install has changed, I can't sudo  , when booting up  I press "esc" rapidly and I do not get a grub menu to boot in recovery or anything can some one help me ?
[23:34] <Zeus__> Jordan_U, thank you!
[23:34] <ilovefairuz> lubo_: this is debian, ubuntu has it's own repository, and i said the packages needed to COMPILE a package not to RUN a package (that gets installed with apt-get install )
[23:34] <actionParsnip> Number6: by default it should timeout and boot the deffault option
[23:34] <Jordan_U> Zeus__: You're welcome.
[23:34] <DCat____> Hi.  Is there a way to reset gnome without losing specific preferences(like firefox, filezilla, virtualbox, etc.).  The reason is some functions of compiz are broken(CTRL-ALT arrows for example).  Thanks.
[23:35] <ilovefairuz> !ot | ritztech
[23:35] <Number6> actionParsnip, Jordan_U is right, I also don't see count down
[23:35] <Jordan_U> actionParsnip: Except when Ubuntu fails to boot, after which the menu will stay so that you can choose other options.
[23:35] <Jordan_U> Number6: Is it a USB keyboard?
[23:35] <ilovefairuz> !lostpassword | flomaster
[23:36] <Number6> Jordan_U, laptopkeaybord
[23:36] <ritztech> i just need some help in scripting and im not really sure where to go with a .sh file for an IF THEN
[23:36] <actionParsnip> Jordan_U: lame
[23:36] <DCat____> ritztech, google bash script examples
[23:36] <Number6> Jodan_U, I guess it's internally connected throug usb
[23:36] <lubo_> ilovefairuz: i build an own kernel. i know that they have been needed to compile and not to use. I am a loooong time gentoo user. now i must learn how debian/ubuntu works. The packages listed on the debian/ubuntu page - when running an build deb, does it take then the red, green and blue packages?
[23:36] <ilovefairuz> DCat____: gconf-editor might help
[23:36] <Jordan_U> Number6: Does the keyboard work in the BIOS menus?
[23:36] <ritztech> http://pastebin.com/G3wE07kN  OHH i have like up continously for 14 hrs i might need a break now ( im normally not a coder ) ha
[23:37] <Number6> Jordan_U, yes!
[23:37] <ilovefairuz> lubo_: none of these, these are runtime dependencies
[23:37] <DCat____> ilovefairuz, i dont see an option in there to "factory reset" gnome/compiz tho
[23:37] <hhassey> Anyone with Bonobo server activation problem says something like connection refused and you are back to the login screen!!!
[23:38] <Number6> Jordan_U, is there another suggestion?
[23:38] <actionParsnip> Number6: then you will need a chroot to mess with grub some
[23:38] <lubo_> ilovefairuz: where could i see the dependecies that would be installed "without" using apt-get?
[23:38] <Jordan_U> Number6: Odd that it doesn't work in grub then. You might have to boot from a LiveCD and add a timeout.
[23:38] <tryx> che hay alguna linea para bajar de una las cosas necesarias en 10.04 ubuntu como el gmake perl etc ?
[23:38] <tryx> ?¿?¿?
[23:38] <ilovefairuz> DCat____: this is a registery of preferences, browse to the app and reset on or more keys, their description is shown you when select them
[23:38] <DCat____> ilovefairuz,  ok thanks.
[23:39] <Jordan_U> !es | tryx
[23:39] <Number6> actionParsnip, Jordan_U , well in that case I'll try tomorrow again, cuz I need some sleep, gotta work.
[23:39] <Number6> thank you guys
[23:40] <Number6> have a nice day...
[23:40] <ilovefairuz> lubo_: i'm not sure if they are available through the web interface
[23:40] <mcnellis> I'm having trouble creating my .deb this is the output I'm getting "dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2" more info here: http://pastesite.com/17715
[23:41] <nobarking> hello all
[23:41] <nobarking> i use to be able to drag and drop images on my desktop to make them wallpapers, for some reasons i'm unable to right now
[23:41] <nobarking> anyone have a clue as to what it is?
[23:41] <lubo_> ilovefairuz: are they following: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.35~rc5-1~experimental.1.dsc  and there then Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 7), cpio, module-init-tools, .....
[23:42] <ilovefairuz> lubo_: yeap
[23:42] <nobarking> btw i use KDE
[23:42] <lubo_> ilovefairuz: what does Build-Depends-Indep: mean?
[23:42] <flomaster> ilovefairuz, that method is not working,  whilist holding shift and rebooting I do not get the grub menu ,  when pressing esc many a time I do not get the grub menu, I can however use live cd and boot from my usb stick any way to fix it from live cd ?
[23:42] <ttvd> hi, I have a question about remote desktop. it let's me vnc in only when user is already logged in.. is it possible to make it work for login screen (gdm) ? Thanks.
[23:44] <mr_hai> there  is an ncurses program for viewing kernel modules and thier options and you manipulate them and modprobe with it
[23:44] <mr_hai> what is the name of that program
[23:44] <Jordan_U> flomaster: Can you still login as your user, just not use sudo?
[23:45] <ilovefairuz> lubo_: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-sourcebinarydeps
[23:45] <lubo_> ilovefairuz: and how can i just add one "package" from the experimental part of debian into my system? on gentoo i always could unmask those package and then the system used the testing/unstable thing
[23:45] <ilovefairuz> lubo_: apt pinning
[23:46] <zf> hello, is the performance of 64bit ext4 much better that the 32bit one?
[23:46] <flomaster> Jordan_U, I have it set so my user doesn't have to type a password when booting up, so yes my only user can log in, but I can't do anything sudo or su because it tells me   USERNAME is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[23:46] <indigo747> Does anybody know why X should be taking up 30%-50% of CPU time?
[23:46] <ilovefairuz> lubo_: there are some very fine debian manuals you can read :)
[23:46] <Jordan_U> flomaster: Have you been changing permissions? By default in Ubuntu the first user created is allowed to use sudo.
[23:47] <ilovefairuz> indigo747: possibly because of compize
[23:47] <lubo_> ilovefairuz: i found them while google for "apt pinning" thanks a lot :)
[23:47] <indigo747> ilovefairuz: using xfce with no compiz
[23:47] <mr_hai> there  is an ncurses program for viewing kernel modules and thier options and you manipulate them and modprobe with it what is the name of that program?
[23:47] <flomaster> Jordan_U,  I have not knowingly changed permissions
[23:47] <Jordan_U> zf: There is no 32 bit or 64 bit ext4.
[23:47] <revarr> I'm trying to create custom liveusb with freedos and a bios update
[23:48] <ilovefairuz> indigo747: do you have composting enabled ? check "Window Manager Tweaks"
[23:48] <flomaster> revarr, what seems to be the problem?
[23:48] <ilovefairuz> !ot | revarr, check freedos wiki
[23:49] <revarr> flomaster: I'm trying to setup a live usb to update my bios
[23:49] <ilovefairuz> revarr: there's a wiki page on fdos.org for that, check it
[23:49] <Jordan_U> !pm | zf
[23:51] <indigo747> ilovefairuz: that would be in "compositor", right?
[23:51] <Jordan_U> zf: I don't think that there will be any effect on filesystem performance with 32 bit vs 64 bit Ubuntu, fileystems are generally limited by Disk IO rather than CPU.
[23:51] <flomaster> Jordan_U, when I tried to reinstall  ubuntu I get to the part where I format my hard drive and pick which one I am going to install on and I do not have any buttons to click next on so I am kinda SOL on starting from scratch
[23:51] <ilovefairuz> mcnellis: did you try to build the package manually first ?
[23:51] <ilovefairuz> indigo747: it's in the dialog i told you about
[23:51] <feedmecereal> What's the keyboard shortcut to get to the address bar in Chrome?
[23:52] <ilovefairuz> feedmecereal: alt + d
[23:52] <indigo747> ilovefairuz: I meant the "compositor" tab
[23:52] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | flomaster
[23:52] <indigo747> ilovefairuz: because I have "enable display compositing" disabled
[23:52] <feedmecereal> ilovefairuz: Thanks
[23:52] <ilovefairuz> indigo747: i don't use xfce any longer so i don't remember extactly
[23:52] <flomaster> Jordan_U, I can try it
[23:52] <Jordan_U> flomaster: Could you pastebin your /etc/sudoers and / or a screenshot of the problem you're having with the installer?
[23:53] <indigo747> ilovefairuz: in short, no, I don't  have any compositing enabled
[23:53] <michaelxq> i've installed linux mint at my external drive and when i boot without the external my computer fails to start
[23:54] <jeffreyf> Is there any way to harness the under-utilized GPU to increase processing power of my PC?  There is much potential in the GPU for stuff like BOINC (Seti, etc).   HOW do I harness the under-utilized processing power in my nVidia card?
[23:54] <ilovefairuz> indigo747: try quiting all apps and watch htop
[23:54] <flomaster> Jordan_U, I can't pastebin my /etc/sudoers because I do not have access and when promted for my password I enter it but it tells me this : xbmc is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.    xbmc is my user name btw
[23:54] <ilovefairuz> !mint | michaelxq
[23:54] <indigo747> ilovefairuz: how do you know I use htop? just wondering, I do
[23:55] <ilovefairuz> indigo747: i don't know what YOU are using, I use it
[23:55] <Jordan_U> flomaster: I meant that you would mount your Ubuntu partition from the LiveCD.
[23:55] <flomaster> oh ok brb
[23:55] <corpsegrindr> I am getting very slow data transfer speeds on my ubuntu box. going from sdd1 to sda1 im transfering at about 200kbps. would that have anything to do with the OS its self? (sdd1 is 72000rpm sda1 is 59000rpm)
[23:56] <infid> can i run itunes in ubuntu somehow, like wine, stabily?
