[00:09] <UbuntuNoob> hi for some reason after i installed ubuntu my sound no longer works
[00:12] <zkriesse> UbuntuNoob: Ok did ya check out sound preferences?
[00:12] <aveilleux> !sound |UbuntuNoob
[00:12] <ubot2> UbuntuNoob: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.
[00:14] <UbuntuNoob> thanks some of my settings were wrong

[05:20] <seidos> HoboSteaux, yeah, it already has been.
[05:21] <HoboSteaux> proprietary pain in the ass
[08:27] <Puck`> good morning team
[08:41] <seidos> I'd like to map the keys on my computer keyboard to musical notes, so that I can play music with it.  Is this possible/probable?  and how should I go about doing it?

[08:59] <seidos> duanedesign, thanks I'll give it a try
[09:01] <seidos> ah, damn it, jack server won't run
[09:08] <seidos> that's weird, audacity works but qjackctl doesn't
[09:28] <geirha> Hm. Seems the forums went down.

[09:29] <geirha> I get Database error
[09:30] <boywonder> hi can anyone help me out im bit off a newb?
[09:31] <boywonder> like hello?
[09:31] <serfus> boywonder, sure, pleas ask
[09:31] <serfus> *please
[09:31] <boywonder> ok thanks im trying to acces this file to edit it
[09:31] <boywonder> .../etc/ufw/before.rules
[09:32] <boywonder> only if i use gedit its telling my im not allowed
[09:32] <boywonder> so i sudo
[09:32] <boywonder> that didnt work yet
[09:33] <serfus> seems like you have to be root..
[09:33] <serfus> oh you did
[09:33] <serfus> well, how?
[09:33] <serfus> did you open nautilus as root?
[09:33] <boywonder> i thought root was /root
[09:34] <geirha> If you install nautilus-gksu, you can right-click and choose open as administrator
[09:34] <boywonder> whats nautilus?
[09:34] <geirha> The "explorer"
[09:34] <boywonder> oh there must be a way for me to acces this file manually
[09:34] <geirha> gksudo gedit /path/to/file
[09:35] <boywonder> i dont want to install any shit just know , i dont even know how!!
[09:35] <boywonder> what does that line mean or shall i look it up
[09:35] <boywonder> preferable the gkpart?
[09:35] <geirha> That'll run gedit /path/to/file  as root (the superuser/administrator)
[09:36] <boywonder> im told not to run as root
[09:36] <serfus> by who?
[09:36] <boywonder> lesson one
[09:36] <serfus> it's just temporary
[09:36] <boywonder> so i have to unroot
[09:36] <geirha> You should never log in as root, that's true. But the above command runs gedit and gedit only as the root user
[09:37] <geirha> That's the standard way of editing system configuration files.
[09:37] <serfus> boywonder, there are some tasks which requires root
[09:37] <boywonder> thats to another thing my account was created on install, i thinkin is that bad?
[09:38] <geirha> The user created when you installed have permissions to run programs as use by using sudo/gksudo
[09:39] <geirha> *run programs as root user
[09:39] <geirha> It'll ask you for your password when you run sudo/gksudo
[09:40] <boywonder> the friggin file was blank, im trying to stop echo request
[09:40] <boywonder> in ufw
[09:40] <geirha> Either its blank, or you've opened a non-existant file (in which case it creates an empty one)
[09:41] <boywonder> i ran a wrong directory i got it know
[09:46] <boywonder> hey thanks cool as
[09:51] <geirha> Have a look at the docs for your release of ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/
[09:52] <geirha> It explains common tasks, like installing software
[10:09] <Abhijeet> virus detected in my  laptop
[10:10] <Abhijeet> please help me to remove the recycler virus from my laptop which affected the ubuntu 10.04 os
[10:13] <geirha> What does it do?
[10:14] <geirha> !antivirus
[10:14] <ubot2> Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus
[10:22] <Abhijeet> when i open the external drive such as the ubuntu dvd it shows shortcut to the folder names ubuntu
[10:25] <Abhijeet> and also the system drive shows 128 tera bite of data!!!!!!!!!!! please help me
[10:26] <geirha> Where does it say 128 terabyte exactly?
[10:27] <Abhijeet> when i open the my computer it shows thw different drives . when i open the properties tag of the drive where the ubuntu is installed
[10:38] <geirha> The one labeled "File system" ?
[10:38] <geirha> It shows the total of all mounted filesystems.
[10:44] <Abhijeet> yes it is but my hard disc is of 320 gb and i have installed win xp on same laptop as dualm boot
[10:48] <geirha> Have you any samba shares or similar mounted?
[10:50] <Abhijeet> no i dont  have installed the samba software
[10:52] <geirha> It's pre-installed. Whenever you enter a network share, it gets mounted, and I believe the space usage will be added to that total you saw.
[10:52] <Abhijeet> but my basic question is why the shortcut is showed in the dvd of ubuntu and alos in the repositary dvs of ubuntu after clicking the shortcut it shows all the content which was there
[10:53] <geirha> Not sure I follow what you mean by that one. Maybe take a screenshot?
[10:53] <geirha> !imagebin
[10:53] <ubot2> Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it.

[18:17] <abhjeet> sorry misspelt!!!!!!! it is ' please help me someone'
[22:32] <HoboSteaux> hey has anyone had a read-only removable hd partitioned with ext3?
[22:33] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: I don't understand the purpose of making such a partition read-only
[22:33] <HoboSteaux> i threw an 1.5tb hd in a case,formatted it plugged it back in and it was read only
[22:33] <HoboSteaux> i didnt intend that to happen and dont know how to change that
[22:34] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: It was probably mounted read-only. Is Ubuntu mounting it automatically?
[22:34] <HoboSteaux> yeah
[22:34] <HoboSteaux> but its happening on my router too, running ddwrt
[22:34] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: This is an external drive? Or rather, an internal drive placed into an external enclosure
[22:34] <HoboSteaux> internal in external
[22:35] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: I assume (since you're using dd-wrt) that you're familiar with Terminal
[22:36] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: Am I correct in my assumption?
[22:36] <geirha> By default, when you create an ext filesystem, it'll only be writable for root.
[22:37] <HoboSteaux> yeah aveilleux
[22:37] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: unmount the drive, then (but leave it plugged in)
[22:37] <HoboSteaux> alright
[22:38] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: Then can you cd /dev and ls sd* for me, then paste the output here?
[22:38] <HoboSteaux> its on the other side of town right now :S ill do that tho and see what i can get out of it
[22:39] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: Oh, can you not SSH into it?
[22:40] <HoboSteaux> no, ive been testing using this laptop, so its not connected to the router right now :S
[22:40] <HoboSteaux> otherwise yes (vpns ftw)
[22:41] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: Wait, you DO or DO NOT have the ability to mount and unmount this drive?
[22:41] <geirha> How do you determine it is read-only?
[22:41] <HoboSteaux> i culdnt do any operations on it, but i could see everything etc
[22:42] <HoboSteaux> bbiab, doctors apptmt to get rd of day 7 of a fever
[22:42] <aveilleux> HoboSteaux: In any case, what I was going to have you try was sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdX /media/usbdevice rw   Thus passing the "read-write" flag to the mounter
[22:43] <geirha> -o rw
[22:43] <aveilleux> geirha: Right, -o. I'm still in fstab mode.
