[00:00] <aeon-ltd> phychole: did you do it via System>Administration>Login Window?
[00:00] <edbian> illmortal, You have to use one or the other.  fwcutter is preferred.  It is easier.  Thing is, you have to be connected to the internet then install the package.  It downloads things from the internet.  Took me a long time to learn that.  I wish it was more clearly explained.
[00:00] <sam898889> anyone here?
[00:00] <phychole> hemm I can see login window
[00:00] <boywonder> illmortal have you checked b43?
[00:00] <edbian> sam898889, I'm here!
[00:00] <phychole> what mus i do
[00:00] <on3pk> bodwick, howso?
[00:00] <BlaDe^> pure_hate which log could I view to see what's wrong?
[00:00] <illmortal> with fwcutter i should be able to download the 64-bit deb in one machine then transfer it via usb stick, right?
[00:00] <sam898889> hehe   hi guys  im using a macbook 2.1  i installed the firmware for the isight cam and it installed ok  but i cant get it working.  anyone here know how to help me out to get it working?
[00:01] <bodwick> on3pk if you put a link to eg ~/Documents/Pics into ~/Dropbox it will share the Pics folder
[00:01] <edbian> illmortal, The package downloads stuff from the internet and copies into the proper directories.  I don't know how to do that on one machine and then transfer the files.
[00:01] <boywonder> imortal i may have missed prior convo, but have you checked the b43?
[00:01] <on3pk> oh awesome
[00:01] <bodwick> on3pk so you can share anything just by making symlinks to Dropbox default dir
[00:01] <aeon-ltd> phychole: local --> then add then add your theme, for further reference --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-gdm-gnome-display-manager-theme-in-ubuntu.html

[00:02] <sam898889> hi guys  im using a macbook 2.1  i installed the firmware for the isight cam and it installed ok  but i cant get it working.  anyone here know how to help me out to get it working?
[00:03] <edbian> illmortal, b43 is the driver for any 43xx card
[00:03] <edbian> illmortal, It won't work without fwcutter doing it's thing.
[00:03] <boywonder> http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
[00:03] <edbian> illmortal, That's the link ^^
[00:03] <bodwick> lxLee you mean MASM assembler ?
[00:04] <lxLee> bodwick: yes
[00:04] <illmortal> thank you edbian, ill check it out

[00:04] <bodwick> lxLee i just used the windows one with dosbox :)
[00:04] <Godzilla> latagore: it's good to just backup your whole home dir
[00:05] <edbian> latagore, They're all stored in hidden folders inside your home directory.  The files start with a .  use view -> view hidden files to see them.
[00:05] <bodwick> lxLee worked well for me, you can also try using wine in case of problems but should be ok with dosbox

[00:07] <BlaDe^> can anyone help please?
[00:08] <walterj89_> please + thankyou,  this touchscreen has been killing my head... for a few months actually
[00:08] <edbian> BlaDe^, Yeah, what is the problem?
[00:09] <BlaDe^> my server isn't returning SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT and all sorts of services are crashing left right and centre
[00:09] <BlaDe^> me and the other guy can't log in but fortunately I still have a session active
[00:09] <edbian> BlaDe^, dmesg is a good starting point.
[00:09] <BlaDe^> http://pastie.org/1140420 <- is the ssh log if I try to get back in
[00:09] <boywonder> illmortal what was the lspci ?
[00:10] <BlaDe^> what shall I do with dmesg edbian  ?
[00:10] <edbian> BlaDe^, Run it and read the output.  It usually gives helpful advice as a starting point for general errors.
[00:10] <Guest80304> i want to change my nickname here, but i don't how to do so...any good doc about irc's?

[00:12] <charlescrosbie> wtf is this?
[00:13] <intel64gamer> I can't start Ubuntu... my monitor just goes into sleep mode after the first loading bar.I am using the 64bit Version with a 6 core processor and ati graphics...
[00:13] <boywonder> illmortal then you need to install b43!
[00:13] <timewriter> intel64gamer , ati might be the problem
[00:13] <illmortal> lol that's what im tryin to do at this point now.
[00:13] <boywonder> ok ill help

[00:14] <illmortal> I dunno if I'm retarded but http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#device_firmware_installation  seems to be all over the place but I've only read about 11 lines lol
[00:14] <BlaDe^> can I reinstall ssh without being kicked off?
[00:14] <BlaDe^> if my friend can get on, he's better with linux than me
[00:15] <cagordon> BlaDe^: Looks like you are trying to use credential "Blade" accourding to postie, is that the right user per sshd on xxxx?
[00:15] <BlaDe^> cagordon:  definitely
[00:15] <BlaDe^> i'm logged into ssh i have another session active
[00:16] <BlaDe^> my friend can't login, i can't log back in -- imap server is crashing, all sorts is just randomly crashing it sees

[00:16] <latagore> edbian: Thanks
[00:17] <edbian> latagore, As I said before.  You should have full control (full permissions) on EVERYTHING in your home folder :)

[00:17] <boywonder> illmortall go system/administration/synapticpackagemanager
[00:17] <illmortal> boywonder fair warning, no internet on the machine im trying to get wireless lan to work
[00:18] <cagordon> Blade^ there is 'tail /var/log/mail.info' to watch what mail is doing... check log files that have been recently written (ls -lt | head", look for syslog or daemon.log for clues
[00:18] <illmortal> im using my laptop for internet access, boywonder.
[00:18] <boywonder> illmortal what you mean your on a remote connection?
[00:19] <histo> !offline | illmortal
[00:19] <BlaDe^> cagordon:  http://pastie.org/1140470
[00:19] <illmortal> no, im on two different machines... my desktop which is the one that needs the driver and im on my laptop doing research online
[00:19] <histo> illmortal: is it a broadcom card by the way?
[00:20] <illmortal> yep
[00:20] <illmortal> 4318
[00:20] <edbian> illmortal, Keep in mind.  That you may be able to get the fwcutter package on your machine but when you run fwcutter or whatever the command is it won't work unless that machine has internet access.
[00:20] <boywonder> he dont need fwcutter
[00:20] <illmortal> hmm... i think i've done it before, but you could be right edbian
[00:20] <edbian> illmortal, follow boywonder He seems to be on to something :)
[00:21] <illmortal> ok :D
[00:21] <cagordon> BlaDe^ note syslog and daemon.log ore top two. What's in say daemon.log (of the two)?
[00:21] <xand> I installed updates on ubuntu 9.10 (I will upgrade to a newer version soonish) but now Firefox's search box has changed from Google to Ask.com, and I can't find Google in the list of search engines to change it to; how can I change it back?
[00:21] <boywonder> i dont get what hes trying to do
[00:22] <illmortal> boywonder check it out
[00:22] <BlaDe^> cagordon:  the entire file (if I cat it ) is about Sep  5 19:22:49 spooshi dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received. --- and DHCPDISCOVER
[00:22] <illmortal> boywonder... on my desktop, i have a wlan card, which is by broadcom model#: 4318 when i do a LSPCI command it sees it without a problem, but apparently i need firmware/driver installed in order to enable it
[00:22] <boywonder> the machine hes trying to instal b43 dont have an internet connection right?
[00:22] <illmortal> correct, boywonder
[00:23] <boywonder> but you can pass from usb
[00:23] <tamzin>  where is the crack for  Bandwidth manager from softPerfect please
[00:23] <illmortal> correct, boywonder
[00:23] <boywonder> np
[00:23] <illmortal> ok :D
[00:23] <Pici> !piracy | tamzin
[00:24] <tamzin> ok sorry
[00:24] <timewriter> how do i turn on vertical sync on ubuntu 10.04 ?
[00:24] <cagordon> BlaDe^ is your box trying to fetch a dhcp address? Could it be that the machine no longer knows who it is? If so, that might explain why your inbound connect requests aren't actually going to spooni (xxxx?)
[00:25] <BlaDe^> cagordon:  i think that's correct yes
[00:25] <tamzin> Ok how can you control or manage bandwidth in ubuntu linux workgroup
[00:26] <illmortal> if i can get the .deb 64-bit of fwcutter i should be able to install it without an issue, right?
[00:29] <cagordon> BlaDe^ usually you have to have a static (or at least, not changing, ip address to be able to ssh into and for mail to be able to figure out "who I am". You need to sort out why all of the dhcp requests. Why did dhcp lease expire? Why aren't you getting a renewal? That sort of thing...
[00:29] <LinuxGuy2009> I have the base system installed along with openbox, gdm, and a few apps but openbox is not displaying the "Debian" menu that lists all the installed apps. Am I missing some additional package for that feature?
[00:30] <wasutton3-Laptop> how would i go about finding if one of my ext4 partitions has extents enabled?
[00:30] <histo> LinuxGuy2009: there is a debian menu package
[00:30] <BlaDe^> cagordon: Sep  5 17:24:45 spooshi postfix/smtpd[30611]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms  -- for mail
[00:30] <histo> LinuxGuy2009: trying to remember the name of it at the moment
[00:30] <LinuxGuy2009> histo: ok cool Im sure I can find it. Thank you.
[00:31] <histo> LinuxGuy2009: menu
[00:31] <bodwick> LinuxGuy2009 you've got /var/lib/openbox/debian-menu.xml ?
[00:31] <histo> LinuxGuy2009: installing the menu package will do it.
[00:32] <lxLee> bodwick: help me with one more thing, where did you learn assembly from?
[00:32] <jxtreme> does sb know how a tutorial how to use the /sys/devices/ ?
[00:33] <LinuxGuy2009> histo: Yep your right I found it in aptitude, listed under suggests or recomends. Restarted openbox. Worked perfect. Thank you.
[00:33] <KittyBoots> Hello, I'm trying to write a script.  This is  more difficult than I had anticipated. Is there anyone who can assist me with this?  Maybe a script is not the best way to accomplish the task at hand, possibly a function or a modified alias command.
[00:33] <cagordon> BlaDe^ SASL authentication is a different problem. Has to do with In postfix, this might be the mech-list in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf
[00:33] <hmca> anyone here with ubuntu 10.4 and raid6 ? trying to do this - echo "clean" > /sys/block/md1/md/array_state , get a echo write error: Invalid argument
[00:34] <bodwick> lxLee mostly from practise, i can give you some links to nice www in priv
[00:34] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, what do you want to accomplish?
[00:34] <bodwick> lxLee you use intel syntax not at&t, yes?
[00:34] <lxLee> bodwick: yes
[00:35] <BlaDe^> cagordon:  the sasl folder is empty
[00:35] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; I have a command that I want to execute on a directory to convert the files into a different format.
[00:35] <cagordon> BlaDe^ postfix? if not, I run out ofexperience quick... sri

[00:36] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, i think I can help you
[00:36] <cathoderay> do you anything about bash scripting?
[00:36] <BlaDe^> cagordon:  yeah /etc/postfix/sasl exists but there's no smtpd.conf there
[00:36] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, do you know anything about bash scripting?
[00:37] <illmortal> -.- so i found the 64bit .deb of fwcutter but apparently ill need internet access... not in the mood to carry a 40lb massive desktop up stairs just for connectivity
[00:37] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; I know very little, but I have a friend with me who is more knowledgable about it than me.  He is suggesting it would be necessary to make a function.
[00:38] <histo> KittyBoots: you can do it with just the command
[00:38] <histo> KittyBoots: bash is very powerful.
[00:38] <vibedigital> hi. How to send a specific log event by email on ubuntu 10.04  ?
[00:38] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, what format changing are you specifically talking about?
[00:38] <histo> vibedigital: you need a mail server installed.
[00:39] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; I am using ffmpeg to convert a directory of *.mov into *.avi
[00:40] <walterj89_> i hate touchscreens.... support for the older ones is jsut soo bad.
[00:40] <walterj89_> just on linux in general
[00:40] <histo> KittyBoots: you can use for i do etc.... blah blah blah
[00:40] <cagordon> BlaDe^ following the johnny.chadda.se article on mail-server-howto-? Good level of detail, helped me...

[00:41] <BlaDe^> cagordon: nope, but a lot of services are playing up I don't think it's specifically a mail issue
[00:41] <histo> BlaDe^: no I was trying to lookup what you were talking about.
[00:42] <anon> !list
[00:42] <boywonder> illmrtal half way down that page is how to extract it usunf fwcutter,i didnt realise you had no internet,also i heard that its only in repository so kinda contradicting myself,sorry edbian! also if i was going to do this id get an internet connection going
[00:42] <cagordon> BlaDe^ got to get the ip-address thing settled down. Can't be trashing about looking for a dhcp lease...
[00:42] <th0r> KittyBoots: have you looked into winff for doing those conversions?
[00:43] <edbian> illmortal, The easiest way is to install fwcutter from the repos while the machine is connected to the internet.
[00:43] <anon> !bot
[00:43] <illmortal> edbian that's the problem... i don't have internet at all =X
[00:43] <histo> anon: stop
[00:44] <BlaDe^> I'll try to look into that now cagordon  :) thansk for yuor help so far btw - much appreciated
[00:44] <illmortal> ubuntu should just implement the driver
[00:44] <illmortal> make it native to ubuntu.
[00:44] <gh0zt> anyone know of a bug with dnsmasq binding to ALL interfaces even when specific listen addresses are set?  i can't get it to listen on one specific ip or tun0
[00:44] <KittyBoots> th0r; no, please tell me about it.
[00:44] <cagordon> BlaDe^ np & lots of luck |patience :)
[00:44] <th0r> KittyBoots: it is just a gui front end for ffmpeg...it is available via the repos
[00:44] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, i don't think you need to create a function to do that
[00:44] <edbian> illmortal, :(  Then IDK
[00:45] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, however it could be more elegant to do so
[00:45] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, just a moment
[00:45] <g0bl1n> I need to decrypt a file (which I don't know what kind of encryption was used). What should I use, from repos ?
[00:46] <vibedigital> i ll try postfix then
[00:46] <histo> g0bl1n: how do you know its encrypted?
[00:46] <histo> g0bl1n: or why do you think its encrypted
[00:46] <billy> hi folks - just tried 'date | xclip' in a terminal and nothing is in clipboard - any clues?
[00:47] <g0bl1n> histo, it is a quiz. I made part of the quiz to build the file, now need it to be uncrypted
[00:47] <histo> g0bl1n: well what'd you use to encrypt it?
[00:47] <jrib> billy: how are you checking?
[00:47] <KittyBoots> cathoderay, th0r; O yeah I have looked at this gui before, it is not as dynamic as I am looking for.
[00:48] <g0bl1n> histo, no one knows how it was encrypted
[00:48] <nellie> can anyone recommend a good agp video card for gaming with ubuntu 10.04 ?
[00:48] <g0bl1n> histo, so we need bruteforce
[00:48] <cathoderay> KittyBoots,
[00:48] <vibedigital> how is the process to use postfix for send event log by email?
[00:48] <KittyBoots> cathoderay, th0r; It does work though, just not able to tailor it to my desired command.
[00:48] <billy> jrib: using gedit - wanted the date & time
[00:48] <g0bl1n> histo, any hint ?
[00:48] <jrib> billy: are you middle clicking?
[00:48] <histo> g0bl1n: most likely if its even possible
[00:48] <bonez2046> why is it I can burn a new ubuntu cdrom.. install disc and it won't boot yet an old knoppix disc boots just fine?
[00:48] <th0r> KittyBoots: yeah...if you want total config control you really should look at a bash script like cathoderay was talking about
[00:49] <g0bl1n> histo it seems it is relatively simple to crack it
[00:49] <cathoderay> KittyBoots: this code changes the filename extensions of the files... adapt it to run with your ffmep
[00:49] <bonez2046> is there some issue with the latest .iso from ubuntu.com?
[00:49] <cathoderay> for f in *.MP3; do mv "$f" "`basename "$f" .MP3`.mp3"; done;

The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://download.virtualbox.org lucid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 54422A4B98AB5139 Oracle Corporation (Virt
[00:49] <billy> jrib: that's it - why doesnt the menu in gedit show clipboard content available?
[00:49] <ddilinger> I know i installed the signing key back when, and i tried to reinstall the signing key using the instructions on virtualbox website but that didn't help
[00:49] <bonez2046> jrib: one I just downloaded from ubuntu.com half hour ago.. and then burned using k3b..
[00:50] <jrib> billy: because there are two clipboards, see « man clipboard »/-selection
[00:50] <jrib> bonez2046: There are dozens of isos....
[00:50] <billy> jrib: thanks
[00:50] <jrib> bonez2046: anyway check the md5sum
[00:50] <jrib> !verify > bonez2046
[00:50] <bonez2046> jrib: this is for the 32 bit..
[00:50] <jrib> bonez2046: there are dozens of 32bit isos...
[00:51] <histo> bonez2046: you need to do a hash check on your iso then.
[00:51] <billy> jrib: no manual entry for clipboard - oh well
[00:51] <jrib> billy: sorry.  I meant « man xclip »
[00:51] <bonez2046> I looked for the hash check for the md5sum but didn't see anything on the ubuntu.com site
[00:51] <jrib> !md5sums | bonez2046
[00:51] <histo> bonez2046: its right by the download link
[00:52] <histo> bonez2046: or atleast it used to be
[00:52] <g0bl1n> i've been trying to use cifer, but don't know how
[00:52] <cathoderay> KittyBoot, do you know how a "for" works?
[00:53] <phychole> wb
[00:54] <boywonder> as far as i konw the md5 hashs for ununtu 10.4 are wrong anyway!
[00:54] <jrib> boywonder: erm, why do you say that?
[00:54] <phychole> in ubuntu 10.04 i can get system>>adminstration>>login window
[00:54] <cathoderay> KittyBoot, if you want, pass me your gmail contact and i'm going to help you
[00:54] <boywonder> because i didnt get a match!
[00:54] <phychole> where i can get it?
[00:54] <bonez2046> histo: ok, I ran the md5sum on my .iso and it matches perfectly with the iso on the ubuntu hashes site..
[00:54] <Satan911> Installing Ubuntu 10.04 on my new laptop - On the comp I'm using right now I used a FAT 32 file system.. Now I'm wondering what's best between NTFS or ExFAT. Any suggestions?
[00:54] <phychole> any body help me
[00:54] <bonez2046> 9a95ed6f6ec38fb58c446dba1add6a08
[00:54] <jrib> boywonder: then it's more likely that your download has an issue
[00:54] <bonez2046> that's my hash..
[00:55] <walterj89_> I wouldn't use fat...
[00:55] <bonez2046> still, the disc this .iso creates won't boot
[00:55] <boywonder> i downloaded it 3 times
[00:55] <boywonder> of seperate machines
[00:55] <Satan911> I think I'm gonna use NTFS..
[00:55] <histo> bonez2046: then I would suspect media or burning speed
[00:55] <Satan911> Should be fine?
[00:55] <walterj89_> for ubuntu?
[00:55] <jrib> bonez2046: how are you burning it?  And you need to checksum the burnt cd
[00:55] <bonez2046> histo: I put it at 4x for the speed, the slowest..
[00:55] <boywonder> i had to reduce the burn
[00:55] <walterj89_> no sue the default the ubuntu uses
[00:56] <boywonder> there a disk check tool on install
[00:56] <jrib> boywonder: you "burned as image" right?  You didn't just make it a data cd with the .iso on it?
[00:56] <walterj89_> Satan911 i would expect you would run into problems installing ubuntu on ntfs
[00:56] <histo> bonez2046: you need to perform a checksum on the burnt disk
[00:56] <boywonder> i burnt the iso
[00:56] <histo> bonez2046: I believe ubottu provided instructions for that.
[00:56] <Satan911> Why's that walterj89_ ?
[00:56] <jdawg> How do I delete a swap partition? I'm reinstalling ubuntu...says it's protected
[00:57] <Satan911> I've been looking and I can't find what's the "ideal" file system for Ubuntu
[00:57] <bonez2046> histo: I just compared to the checksum that k3b derives from the .iso when I open it there.. all the same identical sum
[00:57] <walterj89_> becvause Ubuntu I believe doesnt recongnize it by default because it owned my MS
[00:57] <histo> jdawg: it must be used right now Or did you have home directory encryption?
[00:57] <bonez2046> histo: this machine I am trying to load on.. I think is intel.. would this be an issue if the machine I want to boot is instead an amd?
[00:57] <histo> bonez2046: No the actual disk itself
[00:57] <walterj89_> I think ex3 or something like that is the default for Ubuntu
[00:57] <histo> bonez2046: nope
[00:57] <walterj89_> I'm not an expert on it
[00:57] <Satan911> I'm formatting my partition and the only 2 options I have are NTFS and ExFAT
[00:58] <jdawg> Histo: i'm on live CD...no home dir encryption
[00:58] <histo> bonez2046: hash the disk
[00:58] <histo> jdawg: ahh maybe liive cd is using swap
[00:58] <jdawg> Histo: says it's unmounted
[00:58] <tank_> good evening everyone, anyone here know anything about tablets/tablet drivers
[00:58] <walterj89_> In ubuntu?  odd
[00:58] <histo> jdawg: turn swap off then try
[00:58] <bonez2046> histo: how do I hash the disc?
[00:58] <jdawg> histo: how do i turn swap off
[00:58] <histo> jdawg: swapoff
[00:58] <walterj89_> Those are the only options for Windows...
[00:58] <bonez2046> wiat.. I got it..
[00:59] <Moc> Argh, all my text file is have the wrong caractere set in them now because of Ubuntu Terminal Charactere Set.  It show only Unicode - UTF-8... but UTF-8 = UTF8, and Unicode = UTF-16 !
[00:59] <histo> jdawg: swapoff /dev/whatever
[00:59] <jdawg> histo: says i'm not a superuser
[00:59] <jrib> Moc: erm... what?
[00:59] <histo> bonez2046: and does it boot to a logo screen and seem to hang?
[00:59] <tank_> anyone, anyone at all know anything about tablets
[00:59] <tru3fate> can anyone tell how to set compiz fusion , so my cube can be see thru.
[00:59] <tank_> jdawg: use sudo
[00:59] <histo> jdawg: put sudo infront of the command you are using
[01:00] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; What do you mean?
[01:00] <Moc> jrib: When I write Ééàêç... it actually send it in UTF-16 instead of UTF-8.
[01:00] <bonez2046> histo: no logoo screen, just boots straight through to windows
[01:00] <jrib> Moc: ok.  That makes more sense.  What you first said was strange.
[01:01] <cagordon> tank_ bamboo pen ctl460 PITA need to compile driver... but it does work eventually
[01:01] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, I have your solution
[01:01] <Moc> jrib: sorry.  So In the Gnome Terminal Charactere set, it set to Unicode/UTF-8 !
[01:01] <jdawg> histo: ok, i did that...same thing, didn't let me
[01:01] <Moc> so that kinda wrong
[01:01] <histo> bonez2046: I would double check your bios then and set it to bootcd first
[01:01] <jdawg> histo: command worked, cant delete swap
[01:01] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; What do you suggest?
[01:01] <tank_> cagordon: right now using a tablet on a thinkpad x41, it should work for that right?
[01:01] <histo> jdawg: type mount    in a terminal see if its mounted
[01:01] <walterj89_> Satan911  NTFS will not work correctly with Ubuntu,  file permisions will be kind of screwed up I believe
[01:02] <bonez2046> histo the hash to disc is exactly the same too..
[01:02] <tank_> cagordon after all, its all wacom
[01:02] <Satan911> kk
[01:02] <bahadunn> anyone know why usb keyboard does not work in grub?
[01:02] <histo> bonez2046: then boot sequence isn't hitting the cd.
[01:02] <jrib> Moc: I figured that was based on your locale
[01:02] <walterj89_> Satan911 You have to boot from cd and reformat with whatever the default patition type is
[01:02] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, I could explain to you how to get there in a more convenient way...but if you want, we can go ahead from here
[01:02] <Moc> jrib: The terminal charactere set define what is sent
[01:03] <walterj89_> Satan911 if you are dualbooting with Windows you have to shrink the Windows partition probably
[01:03] <boywonder> bonez2046, have you also made the partition?
[01:03] <Satan911> Yea I did that
[01:03] <Satan911> I shrinked the windows partition
[01:03] <cathoderay> KittyBoot, I was just suggesting to talk in gtalk
[01:03] <Satan911> But it's "unusable" at the moment
[01:03] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; I do not have gtalk.
[01:03] <jdawg> histo: it's not mounted
[01:03] <histo> Satan911: ext4
[01:04] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, msn?
[01:04] <Satan911> At the moment I just shrinked my Windows partition
[01:04] <Satan911> it's unallocated
[01:04] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; perhaps I should become aquanted
[01:04] <cagordon> tank_ well... launchpad has articles on building wacom drivers, pointers to fixing the udev rules, and tweaking xorg.conf.d dirs. took me abt a month elapsed to put it all together so I wouldn't call wacom a walk in the park. Of course, YMMV...
[01:04] <Satan911> But I can't seem to set it to ext4 from windows
[01:04] <[Dead][Pixel]> Hi guys, I downloaded 10.04 onto a DVD at low burn speed and want to install on my PC. right now it has a blank hard drive. I am able to boot to the disc, it shows me at the bottom of the screen a keyboard and a man in a circle, but then the screen goes black with blinking underscore at top left and does nothing else.
[01:04] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; yes have msn and yahoo
[01:04] <Satan911> and when I launched the live CD it said the partition I created was unusable
[01:04] <KittyBoots> im on right now
[01:04] <tank_> cagordon: much appreciated. aught to be fun.
[01:05] <bonez2046> boywonder: made the partition? I haven't even gotten the disc to boot yet.. how can I then make the partition?
[01:05] <cathoderay> so, if you want, i'm there ->  raios dot catodicos at hotmail dot com
[01:05] <boywonder> use gparted to sort the partition
[01:05] <bonez2046> histo: I put , in BIOS, the hard drive at very bottom, and cdrom at top.. with floppy drive.. in middle, still it won't boot the disc
[01:05] <cagordon> tank_ shall I give you reference to article I found? Or google away? Your choice...
[01:05] <histo> jdawg: no idea then.  Are you sure you're trying to delete a swap on the actuall hdd.
[01:06] <jdawg> histo: pastebin error
[01:06] <jdawg> histo: check my error...title is can't delete swap
[01:06] <histo> bonez2046: take the hdd out of the sequence all together.  Also make sure you didn't just burn the iso file to the cd and there are actaull files there.
[01:06] <timewriter> swapoff
[01:06] <boywonder> bonez2046,  have you set the boot order?
[01:06] <jdawg> histo: yes i'm sure...hdd is the only one in sequence
[01:06] <sinman> have a quick question about the StartUp-Manager... when I start it why come it only shows 2 out 4 tabs and not all 4 tabs?
[01:07] <jdawg> oops, wrong reply,lol
[01:07] <boywonder> lol
[01:07] <bonez2046> boywonder: see above.. yes, the cdrom is at the top of the boot order
[01:08] <bonez2046> histo: there are actual files there
[01:08] <histo> jdawg: I have no idea perhaps someone else can help. I can pull up your link at the moment.
[01:08] <jdawg> ok, thx histo...
[01:08] <histo> bonez2046: Do you have another cd you can boot from to check that  your system is functioning?
[01:08] <histo> bonez2046: such as windows setup disk or other distro?
[01:09] <timewriter> jdawg , use gparted
[01:09] <bonez2046> histo: I insert an OLD knoppix disc and boots up fine every time
[01:09] <jdawg> timewriter: gparted doesn't take into account that 4.1 gb swap partition...can't see it there
[01:09] <histo> bonez2046: I don't know thats just odd if the hashes match.
[01:09] <jdawg> timewriter: did you see my post at pastebin?
[01:09] <Sinister|Nation> or do i need to open the StartUp-Manager as root to get all 4 tabs?
[01:10] <timewriter> please retype the link
[01:10] <boywonder> even if the hashs are wrong it would still try to boot
[01:10] <cathoderay> KittyBoot, where are u from?
[01:10] <timewriter> i can see anything in gparted
[01:10] <jdawg> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dQfVS3fA
[01:11] <timewriter> minnesota
[01:11] <tank_> cagordon: any references are appreciated, but for the most part, google is my homeboy
[01:11] <bonez2046> histo: yes, windows disc works, knoppix disc works.. all fine, just not these  newly burned discs.. which I can see fine on my ubuntu machine.. .. several foldlers and files including autorun.inf md5sum.txt README.diskdefines and wubi.exe
[01:11] <bonez2046> histo: there are these folders: casper, dists, install, isolinux, pics, pool, preseed, ubuntu
[01:12] <timewriter> thanks jdawg
[01:12] <bonez2046> histo: are those folders and files supposed to be on the disc I burned?
[01:12] <timewriter> is that a primary or a secondary hdd ?
[01:12] <jdawg> timewriter: yw
[01:12] <boywonder> bonez2046,  im stumped? try formating
[01:12] <cagordon> tank_ np; same here but here is ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1321238 article that helped me with wacom tablet. GL
[01:12] <cory> what's up
[01:12] <bonez2046> boywonder: try formatting WHAT?
[01:12] <boywonder> the hdd
[01:13] <boywonder> oh you can boot life
[01:13] <bonez2046> boywonder: the disc, hdd on the machine where I want to install is already formatted and runs win xp pro.. I want to install ubuntu over that.. but what should I format?
[01:13] <bonez2046> histo: any other ideas?
[01:13] <boywonder> live, said i was stumped
[01:13] <timewriter> anything lol
[01:13] <tank_> cagordon: live long n prosper dude, ty
[01:13] <Guest77> Does anyone know why ubuntu only recognizes 1 core of my i3 processor?
[01:13] <jdawg> timewriter: any thoughts?
[01:13] <timewriter> bonez2046 , do you have additional free space on that hdd ?
[01:14] <bonez2046> timewriter: on the machine where I want to install?
[01:14] <timewriter> jdawg , can you afford to format the entire drive ?
[01:14] <timewriter> bonez2046 , yes
[01:14] <jdawg> timewriter: yes
[01:14] <bonez2046> timewriter: I cant' get that machine to boot the drive or recognize it, how then would I copy the disc contents to that hdd?
[01:14] <timewriter> bonez2046 , do you want to dual boot with windows xp , or to erase windows xp and install ubuntu ?
[01:14] <boywonder> bonez2046,  when i installed mine i used gparted first to crate the new partitiion by shrinking my xp
[01:15] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; are you avaliable on the msn
[01:15] <bonez2046> timewriter: I want to just install ubuntu on the machine..
[01:15] <LinuxGuy2009> Is there a fairly simple way to convert a game that comes as a .run into a deb package so I can manage it within a file manager?
[01:15] <timewriter> ok , bonez2046 , set the 1st boot device in bios , to CD-DVD
[01:15] <timewriter> 2nd to hdd
[01:15] <timewriter> reboot , insert the ubuntu cd
[01:15] <bonez2046> boywonder: how then can I use gparted.. though, if I can't get this disc to boot up?
[01:15] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, yes
[01:15] <boywonder> i recon your burn is bad bonez2046
[01:15] <bonez2046> timewriter: I have done all that
[01:15] <boywonder> boot gparted
[01:16] <timewriter> and ubuntu doesnt want to boot from your cd ?
[01:16] <bonez2046> timewriter: right
[01:16] <cathoderay> KittyBoots: raios dot catodicos at hotmail dot com
[01:16] <timewriter> media or hardware problems
[01:16] <timewriter> you can create a bootable usb
[01:16] <jdawg> timewriter: won't let me format using disk utility
[01:16] <cathoderay> KittyBoot, what yours?
[01:16] <timewriter> jdawg , thats because youre using the hdd right now ?
[01:17] <timewriter> jdawg , boot the ubuntu cd , then format it using gparted
[01:17] <jdawg> timewriter: ok, it magically worked all of a sudden, but can't delete that 4g partition
[01:17] <jdawg> i am using the ubuntu cd now
[01:17] <timewriter> right click on it , swapoff
[01:17] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; felixthemagiccat
[01:17] <Guest77> LinuxGuy2009: I believe you need to chmod +x adfjklasdf.run then ./asdfjklsdf.run
[01:18] <timewriter> bonez2046 , do you have another windows machine there ?
[01:18] <bonez2046> timewriter: I even removed the hard drive as an option at boot, and now I get the No Booto device available message
[01:18] <jdawg> timewriter: i'
[01:18] <jdawg> timewriter: i'm using live cd, will let me format, but not edit partition
[01:18] <timewriter> jdawg , impossible
[01:19] <LinuxGuy2009> Guest77: Yes I know how to install a .run file. If you do that it installs outside a package managers scope. I was wondering if its possible to convert the .run to a .deb so the package managers can see it and manage it.
[01:19] <jdawg> timewriter: well it's happening
[01:19] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, you are offline here
[01:19] <boywonder> bonez2046,  but it boot xp ritE?
[01:19] <KittyBoots> cathoderay, I am here and on msn
[01:19] <timewriter> bonez2046 , your CD/DVD-RW is properly detected in bios ?
[01:19] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; I do not seem to be able to send you a message.
[01:20] <jdawg> timewriter: keeps refusing to delete protected swap partition...even though i'm booted up with live cd and hdd is umounted
[01:20] <lov255> how do I find out which pwd Tcl is in?
[01:20] <timewriter> jdawg
[01:20] <Guest77> LinuxGuy2009:  Probably not, if you can find an rpm of the same install you can run "alien filename.rpm" to convert to a deb file
[01:20] <cathoderay> me neither...
[01:21] <LinuxGuy2009> Guest77: Yes I know that.
[01:21] <timewriter> right click on that key , right next to that 4.1 GB partition

[01:32] <Karth> Verminator: ubuntu asked me to upgrade and I let it, it said it was a partial upgrade
[01:32] <jdawg> i've already deleted the other partitions, just not the swap, which i can't
[01:32] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; I am on google now.
[01:32] <Karth> Verminator: some 1500 packages
[01:32] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, type in the first line:"#!/bin/bash" --without the quotes
[01:33] <timewriter> jdawg , go to the Device section
[01:33] <timewriter> and Create new partition table
[01:33] <jdawg> ok
[01:33] <MysteryPig> Ubuntu 10.04 LTS keeps freezing on me! what can i do to fix
[01:33] <boywonder> throw it in the bin!
[01:33] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, in the second one, type:"for f in *.mov"
[01:33] <jdawg> timewriter: which partition table does it matter?
[01:33] <timewriter> ms-dos , usually
[01:33] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, I'll put in the bin
[01:34] <Verminator> Karth, I'm not an expert by any stretch, but have never heard of a partial upgrade.  I do know that in my reading and advice from others is not to upgrade via synaptic, but get the iso image and a do a fresh install of the new version
[01:34] <edward_> how do i remotely connect to ldap server and query it for information? using a username and password?
[01:34] <MysteryPig> ubuntu keeps freezing
[01:34] <Karth> ah, well it is a synaptic upgrade, I just didn't want to use another disc
[01:34] <jdawg> timewriter: i did that, but it only shows my hd 232gb....where is that 4gb swap, lol.
[01:34] <timewriter> mhm
[01:34] <jdawg> should be 236 gb.
[01:34] <timewriter> very weird
[01:34] <MysteryPig> ubuntu keeps freezing and i dont know how to fix
[01:35] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, can you paste here again that line that you call ffmpeg?
[01:35] <boywonder> MysteryPig, thats alot of information to go on with!
[01:35] <timewriter> jdawg , if i were you , id grab a tool from seagate`s website
[01:35] <timewriter> and do a zero fill drive
[01:35] <Verminator> Karth, if you have a seperate hd for /home, it <<should>> keep many of your customizations, but it does NOT work all the time due to bad choices of the programmers for the individual programs
[01:35] <jdawg> timewriter: thanks....i will
[01:35] <Karth> Verminator: its a single hard drive
[01:35] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; what do you mean "I'll put in the bin"?
[01:35] <timewriter> jdawg , no
[01:35] <jdawg> no?
[01:35] <timewriter> download ultimatebootCD
[01:35] <Verminator> Karth, yes, but u can partition it into several logical drives.
[01:36] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, i'll give you an url with the code
[01:36] <timewriter> and burn it to a cd
[01:36] <timewriter> boot from it , and go to hard disk tools
[01:36] <jdawg> ok
[01:36] <KittyBoots> ffmpeg -i $input -vcodec libxvid -b 18000k -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 320k -deinterlace -s 1440x1080 $output
[01:36] <timewriter> use the seagate tool
[01:36] <jdawg> k
[01:36] <Karth> Verminator: its not, its partitioned into a single partition
[01:36] <jdawg> thx again timewriter
[01:36] <Verminator> Karth, for instance, you can have SDA 6 for /, and SDA 7 for /home
[01:36] <timewriter> no problem , i hope that would fix
[01:36] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; ffmpeg -i $input -vcodec libxvid -b 18000k -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 320k -deinterlace -s 1440x1080 $output
[01:37] <Verminator> Karth, w/ this setup, if u install a new os, u will loose all customizations and personal files, unless u back up first
[01:37] <Karth> Verminator: besides I had some customizations outside of /home
[01:37] <lov255> where would the eggdrop put the file eggdrop.conf into when I install form the respository?
[01:37] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, try this -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/488996/
[01:38] <Verminator> Karth, for future 9installs, its very good to have at least 2 partitions, one for home and one for root
[01:38] <Verminator> Karth, i know that does not solve your immediat problem, sorry
[01:38] <Karth> Verminator: I simply installed it like I do with windows, and I hasn't partitioned that since 03
[01:38] <Karth> formatted*
[01:38] <zcat[1]> Verminator, good trick though, resize the old install just a little and do a fresh install, then mount the old partition eg as /oldinstall, rename /home and make a link 'ls -s /oldinstall/home /home'
[01:39] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, you have to change the line 3 with your directory of mov files and make this script runnable
[01:39] <lov255> I keep getting the error - pplease make sure you edit your config file completely - when I try to run this script and I have edited it
[01:39] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; how do I switch from *.MOV to *.MTS as input?
[01:39] <Karth> anyhow, is there a way to correct my current install, I don't like to format
[01:39] <lov255> anyone know where the .conf file is stored for the eggdrop that I got from the respositry
[01:39] <zcat[1]> Verminator, how to turn a one-partition install into a / and /home install without any real effort ;)
[01:40] <cathoderay> change the line 4, where you see *.mov change to *.mts
[01:40] <Verminator> zcat[1], good trick, thx for the tip
[01:40] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; Will the script promt me for the directory?
[01:40] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, no.
[01:40] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, what directory you want to read?
[01:40] <zcat[1]> It's a little ugly but a lot quicker than backing up and reinstalling if there's a lot of data (although you should already have backups too ;)
[01:41] <m0tan> How do I get an IDE drive to mount over USB connection?
[01:41] <KittyBoots> cathoderay; The directory always changes with new videos.
[01:41] <m0tan> if i do sudo fdisk -l it does not show up
[01:41] <hellboy316> dont know if possible with ide drives but you can use a usb case for sata drives
[01:41] <Verminator> zcat[1], r u saying this would be the way to fix Karth's current probl;em?
[01:42] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, ok, you want to be prompted for the source directory of mts files or the destiny directories of converted files? or both?
[01:42] <m0tan> hellboy316, I'm using a IDE/SATA->USB converter
[01:42] <Karth> yeah I don't backup often, the only media I have to back up with is ZIP 100 disks and 3 1/4 discs
[01:43] <hellboy316> m0tan: I have seen external usb cases for sata ... i havent used it though
[01:43] <Karth> so its not that viable
[01:43] <m0tan> hellboy316,oh ok
[01:43] <Verminator> Karth, so do u have a lot of customizations and dta?
[01:43] <hellboy316> are you not able to install the drive in the case properly
[01:43] <Karth> its not my pc, thats the primary reason for not formatting
[01:44] <Verminator> Karth, oh ok, that explains some...thinking
[01:44] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, if you want to be prompted, use the "read" command
[01:44] <cathoderay> KittyBoots, take a look at here -> http://www.linuxconfig.org/Bash_scripting_Tutorial
[01:44] <Verminator> Karth, just for future ref, the ubuntu upgrader has a bad reputation
[01:45] <boywonder> ok i got a question, if i want to boot from grub do i need a u3 usb disk?
[01:45] <Verminator> Karth, uusally best to install from new iso disk
[01:45] <Karth> Verminator: I just really don't want to have to start over every new version
[01:46] <zcat[1]> Karth, use the alternative cd and do an upgrade?
[01:46] <lov2555> ls
[01:46] <Verminator> Karth, oh I agree, its a pain, and I've only done it once, but most articles i read have bad experience w/ the upgrade
[01:46] <Verminator> Karth, its why i stick w/ the LTS versions
[01:46] <zcat[1]> I've had one or two upgrades go OK, but most go bad....
[01:46] <Karth> I see, what is the LTS version
[01:47] <Verminator> Karth, Long Term Service release
[01:47] <Verminator> Karth, they are releaseed 1/ 2 years
[01:47] <avnit> how to find the version of ubuntu
[01:47] <Verminator> Karth, excuse me, once every 2 years
[01:47] <zcat[1]> avis, lsb_release -a
[01:47] <[Dead][Pixel]> Hi guys, I downloaded 10.04 onto a DVD at low burn speed and want to install on my PC. right now it has a blank hard drive. I am able to boot to the disc, it shows me at the bottom of the screen a keyboard and a man in a circle, but then the screen goes black with blinking underscore at top left and does nothing else. The DVD works fine on other computers.
[01:47] <Karth> still rather often, the pc I'm on now hasn't needed a reinstall of any sort for 6 years now
[01:48] <Verminator> Karth, do u have any of the live CDs to use?
[01:48] <Karth> just a 9.1 live cd
[01:48] <zcat[1]> Karth, you could give debian a shot, it has a much longer releace cycle and I think a smoother upgrade path..
[01:48] <Karth> takes like 20 mins to boot in though due to low RAM
[01:48] <mxe5> Hi - How do I run a file from the CD-Rom as administrator - When I try to run it - I get an error saying I need to run the file as administrator ? ?
[01:49] <Verminator> Karth, sorry, but i think this one is over my head, very sorry.
[01:49] <zcat[1]> mxe5, sudo
[01:49] <Karth> I see, I'm not too experienced with linux in general
[01:49] <boywonder> sudo -s
[01:49] <boywonder> thats root
[01:49] <zcat[1]> sudo name-of-script.sh
[01:49] <Verminator> mxe5, u could use a terminal, cd to the CDrom, and use sudo to run the command/file, etc
[01:49] <jjk9___> mxe5:  sudo
[01:49] <zcat[1]> or sudo -i / sudo -s to get a root shell and then run the script
[01:50] <Karth> so there's no way to correct it at this point?
[01:50] <zcat[1]> or alt-F2 gksu nautilus to open a browser window running as root, then brose to the cd and run (doubleclick) the script..
[01:50] <mxe5> Verminator: I tried to get to the path of the CD rom but got an error.
[01:50] <Verminator> Karth, I'm sure there is a way, but I dont know it.
[01:51] <Verminator> Karth, sorry
[01:51] <Verminator> mxe5, is the CD mounted?
[01:52] <mxe5> Verminator: In terminal I typed < cd /media/cdrom0 > and get an error
[01:52] <Verminator> mxe5, whats the error?
[01:52] <Karth> Verminator: well thanks anyhow, dissapointing though, while I'm here I do have a second issue which no visits here have been able to fix. My 9 pin Impact printer prints at 2 characters a minute on that system but 1 page a minute on xp
[01:52] <mxe5> Verminator: Yes it is
[01:52] <bonez2046> timewriter: I took the new disc and stuck it in a macbook and it read right up, access all the files.. but on this machine, the dell desktop.. this disc is not visible.. i can't get it to read on this machine..
[01:52] <humphreybc> Where should I report a bug that affects "Monitor Preferences" aka gnome-display-manager
[01:53] <timewriter> bonez2046 , your cd/dvd-rom might be malfunctioning
[01:53] <zcat[1]> Karth, many ways. You could use the live CD to resize your main partition without doing a full install, make a filesystem in the new partition, move everything but /home over, then fix up /etc/fstab and grub to match the new layout. I've done similar in the past..
[01:53] <mxe5> Verminator: No such file or directory - is error I get.
[01:53] <Verminator> Karth, ask the question in general, w/o addressing it to me, someone might no, I have little exp w/ printers, also try the forum #ubuntu-beginners
[01:54] <bahadunn> anyone know why a ps2 keyboard will not work with grub
[01:54] <bahadunn> ?
[01:54] <zcat[1]> Karth, might be easier to use something like puppy or insert for your live CD, they'll have less overhead than ubuntu and still provide mostly the same tools

[01:57] <bonez2046> timewriter: yeah, then why does it CONSISTENTLY boot up win xp pro and other disc like my old KNOPPIX live cd.. every time? Here's one wrinkle. for this disc that works elsewhere. this is a writeable dvd, upon which I burned this ubuntu .iso.. would that fact, that it's not a writeable cdrom but dvdw disc cause this< event hough it's no problem elsewhere?
[01:58] <Verminator> mxe5 , "cd /media"

[02:00] <bahadunn> this is rediculous
[02:01] <Verminator> bahadunn?
[02:01] <bahadunn> not even a ps2 keyboard works in grub to select an OS
[02:01] <bahadunn> usb keyboard ps2 keyboard nothing works
[02:01] <joshritger> I am doing a minimal install and would like to know what package to install inorder to get my linksys wireless card for my laptop working, it works on a full install out of the box
[02:02] <bahadunn> and I added an option in /etc/default/grub for GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="ohci uhci" and now ubuntu wont load
[02:02] <killown> what's the best filesystem for /home?
[02:02] <bahadunn> so grub is all the computer runs because no keyboard works
[02:02] <Verminator> bahadunn, I have used both w/ no special effort
[02:03] <bahadunn> you would think ubuntu would work these kinds of bugs out
[02:03] <Verminator> bahadunn, u should set up a default entry to be loaded after a set time to avoid any grub issues u might have
[02:03] <bahadunn> Verminator: that is the way it was
[02:04] <bahadunn> Verminator: but now the time limit does not count down since I added the preload modules
[02:05] <joshritger> what package installs wifi drivers in the default install of ubuntu as of 10.04
[02:05] <Verminator> bahadunn, sorry man, i know some of these things are frustrating, u may need to use a live CD to get to the grub config files, or maybe try alt F2 to get to a command line interface.
[02:05] <Karth> anyhow what do you guys suggest as the best course of action considering its not my pc and some firefox saves passwords have been forgotten by the owner, it appears that the thing is just switching to a resolution higher than the old monitor can support
[02:06] <boywonder> the defualt driversw wont work with broadcom!!
[02:06] <bahadunn> Verminator: I know but this computer is 2000 miles away
[02:07] <bahadunn> Verminator: it's my dad's so it's a little difficult to fix from here
[02:07] <bahadunn> Verminator: I have to get a computer friend to go visit him
[02:07] <joshritger> the default install works, I am just doing a minimal install and need to know what is installed be default
[02:07] <Verminator> Karth, u could try booting into safe/recovery mode and editing the xorg.conf file.
[02:07] <bahadunn> I might just tell him to use windows and forget ubuntu
[02:07] <bahadunn> I am getting sick and tired of all these weird little quirks I get out of ubuntu
[02:07] <bahadunn> makes me want to go back to debian
[02:08] <Verminator> bahadunn, oh thats a bummer.
[02:08] <Verminator> bahadunn, I too have been having issues w/ ubuntu, and am considering another distro, but would never return to windows
[02:08] <joshritger> boywonder: I am trying to do a minimal install, the default install installs the proper driver, that is what I am looking for
[02:09] <bahadunn> Verminator: yeah but this is my dad
[02:09] <Karth> verminator well how does ubuntu load into safe mode? I tried esc while it was loading but it didn't do anything but print ^[ onto the screen
[02:09] <bahadunn> I have been using linux/freebsd for over 10 years now
[02:09] <boywonder> joshritger,  i dunno!
[02:09] <bahadunn> I aint going to switch to windows
[02:09] <joshritger> ok
[02:09] <bahadunn> but my dad might have a lot less problems out of windows then ubuntu
[02:09] <Verminator> Karth, it should be an option in a menu at bootup, if not there is a key combo which I dont know off the top of my head, will look on net for u
[02:10] <bahadunn> unfortuately that is the case
[02:10] <etherealite> How can I remove text formatting from the clipboard (buffer whatever)?
[02:10] <Karth> Verminator well ty, there is no menu when it loads, just a blinking _
[02:10] <Verminator> bahadunn, what were u originally trying to do to grub, did u revcently uograde or something?
[02:11] <Verminator> Karth, bahadunn, brb and will try to help if i can, have to leave for a few minutes
[02:11] <bahadunn> Verminator: my dad got windows to dual boot.  So we backed up his home directory and installed windows and ubuntu in a dual boot

[02:17] <[Dead][Pixel]> Hi guys, I downloaded 10.04 onto a DVD at low burn speed and want to install on my PC. right now it has a blank hard drive. I am able to boot to the disc, it shows me at the bottom of the screen a keyboard and a man in a circle, but then the screen goes black with blinking underscore at top left and does nothing else. The DVD works fine on other computers.
[02:18] <boywonder> how long do you wait
[02:18] <boywonder> ?
[02:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> 10 minutes
[02:18] <boywonder> thats too long
[02:18] <etherealite> chelz do i have to logout to get glipper working?
[02:18] <dlp211> where is xorg.conf in 10.04
[02:18] <boywonder> burn onto cd
[02:18] <chelz> [Dead][Pixel]: you might have to use the alternate installer
[02:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> i can press F2 before the black screen, and it gives me language/boot options but no matter what option it does the same thing
[02:19] <ChogyDan> dlp211: you don't need one
[02:19] <dlp211> i have dual monitors and need to edit it
[02:19] <[Dead][Pixel]> chelz: I am just wondering if this could be hardware or ubuntu
[02:19] <chelz> etherealite: if you right click on a panel you can go "Add to Panel". should be in there as "clipboard manager"
[02:19] <chelz> [Dead][Pixel]: if you can boot the disc on another computer you can select "verify integrity"
[02:19] <ChogyDan> dlp211: then just make one with whatever you need.  xorg.conf is no longer needed, but you can make one to override the defaults
[02:20] <dlp211> ok so when i setup dual monitors and nvidia created an xorg.conf file for me where did it save it so i can edit it and fix my mouse being stuck on the second monitor
[02:21] <chelz> dlp211: "man xorg.conf"
[02:21] <ChogyDan> dlp211: should be the standard spot, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:22] <chelz> also    sudo updatedb && locate xorg.conf
[02:22] <dlp211> thanks

[02:33] <mcc> So... I have this ubuntu, with a copy of apache. It works. I install "libapache2-mod-python". Suddenly, as soon as apache starts, it prints into error.log "child pid 19746 exit signal Segmentation fault" once a second
[02:34] <mcc> Also apache no longer works. I notice there are two different modules listed in aptitude, "libapache2-mod-python" (marked as "i") and "libapache2-mod-python2.6" (marked as "v")
[02:34] <mcc> What does the i/v thing? is one an alternate version of the other?
[02:34] <edbian> mcc, You have a segmentation fault which means some program is trying to write into ram which it is not allowed to and crashing.  Either that or you have bad ram.
[02:35] <edbian> mcc, Try running an older version of one or the other (or both)
[02:35] <mcc> edbian: well, apache segmentation faults if i enable mod python, and stops segmentation faulting if i disable it.
[02:35] <edbian> mcc, Well it could be apache or python.
[02:35] <Verminator> bahadunn, also check the grub wiki, keep in mind ubuntu uses the new grub2
[02:35] <[Dead][Pixel]> how can i boot from livecd in safe graphics mode with vesa drivers
[02:35] <edbian> mcc, or the module itself. (not really sure of the architecture there)
[02:37] <Verminator> USB ports are all offline, lsusb hangs indefinaitly, cant kill lsusb, lsusb task is listed as uninteruptable, and waiting cjhannel = down, any suggestions how to fix this w/o a reboot?
[02:37] <edbian> Verminator, kill -9 lsusb
[02:38] <Verminator> edbian, tried that and nothing, thx though
[02:39] <thune3> [Dead][Pixel]: hit ESC (or any button) at first screen (one with two icons). Hit F6. if xforcevesa is an option choose it. if not, hit ESC and add it to the grub line after "quiet splash"
[02:40] <van7hu> #asm
[02:40] <Verminator> edbian, I even tried w/ adding sudo and still a no go
[02:41] <edbian> Verminator, I don't think you can do anything besides reboot.
[02:41] <area51pilot> what is the channel for 10.10 support?
[02:41] <Verminator> edbian, that stinks, any idea what caused this in the first place?
[02:42] <Verminator> edbian, that stinks, any idea what caused this in the first place?
[02:42] <edbian> Verminator, No.  Faulty hardware?  I've never seen anything like that before.
[02:42] <ev1Lsh> hi all
[02:44] <edbian> ev1Lsh, Hi
[02:44] <ev1Lsh> Hi   edbian
[02:47] <mcc> i ran aptitude safe-upgrade and all my problems magically disappeared
[02:47] <mcc> well
[02:47] <edbian> mcc, Well that works too :)
[02:47] <mcc> all my ubuntu-related problems, i mean
[02:47] <edbian> mcc, It probably upgraded to newer packages of apache or something
[02:47] <mcc> so there you are i guess
[02:47] <edbian> mcc, Let me know if you figure a command that will solve ALL of your problems.
[02:48] <mcc> i'll watch out for that
[02:49] <surgy> !espanol
[02:49] <[Dead][Pixel]> thune3: yeah thanks bro i just figured that out after some searching, but that's exactly the solution
[02:50] <pie_time> i installed gnome network manager and my ethernet network connection is working but i dont see any icon in my panel. how do you fix that?
[02:52] <pie_time> hello
[02:52] <edbian> hi
[02:52] <edbian> pie_time, Do you have a notification area in your panel??
[02:52] <pie_time> yes
[02:53] <ari_stress> morning
[02:55] <ssax> Anybody remember the screen that said "automatically setup separate /usr...blah" on Ubuntu Server 10.04 installation? Can anyone tell me what says exactly? I can't find it because I don't remember it and now I don't see it.
[02:57] <pie_time> I have the network manager applet installed, but its not showing up in my 'Add to Panel' menu!!!
[02:57] <edbian> pie_time, the network manager applet is part of "notification area"
[02:57] <jrib> ssax: you mean in the install?
[02:57] <edbian> pie_time, If the network bit isn't showing up then there is a bug.
[02:58] <pie_time> edbian,
[02:58] <pie_time> im trying to install gnome but am getting this:
[02:58] <pie_time> gnome:
[02:58] <pie_time>  Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed
[02:59] <edbian> pie_time, try this: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[02:59] <pie_time> i already have ubuntu desktop i believe
[02:59] <edbian> pie_time, aptitude is better at resolving dependencies and ubuntu-desktop is the proper package.
[02:59] <edbian> pie_time, Then you have gnome as well.
[02:59] <edbian> pie_time, aptitude show ubuntu-desktop
[03:00] <fission6> can someone walk me through how to check my swap space and how to set it up to be ideal with my system. everything runs rather slow due to small memory and i am trying to improve speed if possible
[03:00] <pie_time> edbian, wanna be my pal
[03:00] <edbian> pie_time, I'm your pal.
[03:01] <edbian> pie_time, why? :)
[03:01] <edbian> fission6, free -m    (shows your current ram / swap usage)
[03:01] <edbian> fission6, How much ram do you have?
[03:01] <jrib> !swap | fission6
[03:02] <fission6> edbian, http://dpaste.com/239338/
[03:02] <fission6> ...not much
[03:02] <pie_time> edbian, just looking for someone who knows a lot about ubuntu. but i'd probably end up being a nusance after a while
[03:02] <mcc> okay, here is a problem.
[03:02] <Tweaky> its strange but my swap space has always been 0 used
[03:02] <mcc> i have a .tgz here. i would like to extract it.
[03:03] <jrib> mcc: right click -> extract
[03:03] <edbian> fission6, 1 Gb of swap, 512Mb of swap?  You might get  slight improvement out of 2Gb instead of 1Gb of swap.  But that's pretty much it.
[03:03] <mcc> unfortunately the .tgz itself is, roughly, the size of the available space left on the device.
[03:03] <^james_foo^> fission6: i think the setup is fine. if you need more speed, get more ram
[03:03] <fission6> i can't
[03:03] <mcc> so the tgz is about 180 MB (would be 200 uncompressed), but there's only 96 MB left on the disk.
[03:03] <edbian> pie_time, I like Ubuntu.  I'll be your bud.
[03:03] <fission6> well apparently i can only get another 1/2 gig
[03:04] <mcc> Is there some way to uncompress a tgz while at the same time deleting it?
[03:04] <edbian> pie_time, Any questions picking your brain right now?
[03:04] <jrib> fission6: do it, you'll notice the difference
[03:04] <fission6> edbian, is there a way to really slim down my ubunut install
[03:04] <robb> why does grub have trouble with ext usb hdd's??
[03:04] <pie_time> edbian, yeah i have a couple
[03:04] <edbian> fission6, It really isn't bad.  It's probably your processor that is the bigger bottle-neck.  Try a light weight DE like xfce or lxde
[03:04] <edbian> pie_time, Such as.... ?
[03:05] <pie_time> edbian, can i pm you
[03:05] <edbian> pie_time, yep
[03:05] <fission6> how can i tell what DE i am using? i think i installed a light weight one but not sure which a few months ago
[03:05] <edbian> fission6, Umm, generally how it looks.
[03:05] <fission6> i have fluxboc i think
[03:05] <fission6> fluxbox
[03:06] <edbian> fission6, before you log in check the session of the DE you wanna start.
[03:06] <[Dead][Pixel]> if im in ubuntu on the live cd how can i view files on that drive?
[03:06] <jrib> mcc: well you can uncompress in place with gunzip... not sure about untarring...
[03:06] <kmthein> Question: how can I fix slow loading of Opera (probably due to ipV6 issue)?
[03:06] <fission6> let me see
[03:06] <sacarlson> robb:  you might be using grub legacy with ext4, I'm not sure that's supported.  you should be able to upgrade to grub2 that does support extX
[03:06] <fission6> i think its fluxbox, could that be right
[03:07] <mcc> hm.. i tried gunzip and also got a "no space left on device"... so it looks like it's not exactly doing it in-place. although in-place sounds hard
[03:07] <robb> wouldn't the 10.04 installer use grub2?
[03:07] <jrib> mcc: why don't you just do it on another machine?
[03:07] <jrib> mcc: or put a usb stick in it or something
[03:07] <mcc> jrib, the exact thing i'm trying to do here is transfer from another machine, and i don't have physical access (it's a xen host)
[03:07] <mcc> anyway thanks
[03:08] <sacarlson> robb: if it's a fresh install it should.  but when I installed 10.04 from having ubuntu 8.04 some how it kept grub legacy
[03:08] <jrib> mcc: I don't understand the issue.  Why would transferring involve untarring at all?
[03:08] <ev1Lsh> Pls tll how to sync my iPhone with ubuntu
[03:08] <mcc> jrib: in order to transfer the files from machine a to machine b, i tgz'd them on machine a and then ftpd them over to machine b
[03:08] <robb> yea i read about the upgrade path troubles, andputting grub 2 instead
[03:09] <jrib> mcc: so why don't you not do it that way :P  Do you have ssh access?
[03:09] <mcc> i do
[03:09] <robb> i've tried eeebuntu, ubuntu 10.04 desktop and netbook remix. via usb stick, network install. just get hgrub rescue prompt at reboot (if anything!)
[03:10] <mcc> can you scp entire directories or something?
[03:10] <robb> frustrating, as all previous ubuntu experience have been quite positive
[03:10] <jrib> mcc: scp -r, yeah
[03:10] <jrib> mcc: though even if you couldn't for some reason you could achieve what you asked with a series of pipes
[03:10] <mcc> "pipes"?
[03:11] <edbian> |
[03:11] <jrib> mcc: just use "scp -r" though
[03:11] <mcc> I guess I don't get what that would mean when i'm moving data across a network
[03:11] <mcc> short of using ncat or something
[03:11] <mcc> anyway, scp -r
[03:11] <mcc> i will look at that thanks
[03:11] <sacarlson> robb:  did you check the grub links? http://paste.ubuntu.com/489015/
[03:12] <jrib> mcc: basically you'd have tar output to stdout, pipe to ssh then have tar read from stdin on the server
[03:12] <edbian> robb, It's likely that your hdd is partitioned in an odd way and it's tricking Ubuntu.  All of those distros likely have identical installers
[03:13] <Datz> I'm tying to output part of a log from /var/log/ through php funtion shell_exec() but webserver user apparently doesn't have permission.
[03:13] <Datz> so can someone tell me if it is a bad idea to add webserver user to admin group?
[03:13] <jrib> Datz: yes, terrible idea
[03:13] <mcc> jrib: Yikes. Out of curiosity, what would I use to "read" ssh at the other end? This is something I've seen done with netcat but I didn't know you could do it with the ssh tools.
[03:13] <Datz> jrib: ok.. figures.. apache2 isn't secure :P But how to go about this then?
[03:13] <edbian> Datz, It would allow a potential hacker to make the webserver do something like "destroy the entire filesystem.
[03:14] <robb> edbian: i let the installer wipe the hdd each time :)
[03:14] <Datz> edbian: ok. I see.. bad idea.. glad I didn't do it
[03:14] <robb> i'll read that pastebin thing and try it out, looks similiar to what i tried earlier
[03:14] <edbian> robb, odd
[03:14] <edbian> Datz, yep
[03:14] <sacarlson> robb: from the sound of it you may have you bios set to boot something other than /dev/sda.  if you do that you need to tell the install where you want the mbr to be.
[03:14] <Datz> edbian: did you see my original problem?
[03:15] <jrib> mcc: something like this should work I think:  tar czvf - foo/ | ssh example.com 'tar xzvf -'
[03:15] <edbian> Datz, Yeah, make the file writeable for the server.
[03:15] <robb> yea, the advanced button on step 8. i tried dev/sda and dev/sda1, same results
[03:15] <jrib> mcc: basically you can think of ssh letting you have the pipe go to another machine, but it would work the same as if you strung together two tar commands with no ssh involved
[03:16] <sacarlson> robb:  what does your bios boot from?  sdb1?  sdc2?  you should check it
[03:16] <robb> i have options for usb, usb drive, network, etc
[03:16] <mcc> jrib: oh, that is interesting. thank you
[03:16] <edbian> sacarlson, That makes no sense.  the bios boots from the motherboard (itself), the bios then tells some partition to boot.
[03:16] <jrib> mcc: but I would use scp
[03:16] <Datz> edbian: humm, just need it readable. I don't know if I can make fail2ban.log readable to www-data easily?
[03:17] <robb> i've tried every combination of devices and order, always same grub failure
[03:17] <mobasher> can anyone help me fix my login screen issue...i was playing with login screen on 9.04 and i messed up my login screen now i can't login
[03:17] <rockhopper> lol
[03:18] <Datz> humm.. probably need more info than that mobasher
[03:18] <sacarlson> edbian: that's correct it boot SOME partition that is controled by settings that can be changed at bios setup.
[03:19] <mobasher> okay i think i turned on the xdmcp or something than i started getting no server are there for me to logon to..now i changed something in the gdm.conf and it tells me no servers were defined in the config file and xdmcp was disabled
[03:19] <Datz> think edbian is gone?
[03:19] <jrib> mobasher: if you could get rid of the "something"s, it would probably be easier to help
[03:19]  * Datz goes about another method
[03:20] <mobasher> unfortunately i didn't make the backup of the gdm.conf otherwise i wouldn't have ended up in this issue
[03:20] <mobasher> is there anyway i can reset the configuration file to a default one or something ?
[03:20] <robb> can login as different user to a shell?
[03:20] <boywonder> i hate it when that happens
[03:20] <jrib> robb: yes, use "su - USERNAME"
 the gdm screen login not the shell
[03:21] <robb> jrib: not me, for mobasher
[03:22] <mobasher> how can i reinstall the gdm ...can someone guide me to that...is it apt-get install gdm or ??
[03:22] <rd4> sudo apt-get remove gdm && sudo apt-get install gdm
[03:22] <jrib> mobasher: something like the following should do it...  apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install PACKAGE_THAT_THE_FILE_BELONGS_TO     (though I don't remember right now if you have to delete/move the file for it to restore it)
[03:22] <mobasher> jrib>> thanks mate let me try that out..
[03:24] <jrib> mobasher: I'm leaning towards: yes, you need to remove/rename the existing gdm.conf for it to work (or see « man dpkg » for a better option)
[03:26] <mobasher> jrib>> i removed the gdm package and it was asking me to remove linux headers so i did
[03:26] <mobasher> jrib>> now i'm unable to resinstall them back on
[03:26] <mobasher> apt-get install gdm
[03:26] <rockhopper> what does it say mobasher
[03:26] <rockhopper> ?
[03:26] <mobasher> could not resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com
[03:26] <mobasher> so there is no internet for it to download the packge i guess
[03:27] <jrib> mobasher: I didn't say to remove any package
[03:27] <rockhopper> yep you have to have internet!!
[03:27] <rockhopper> you shud've reinstalled or done that --force-confmiss
[03:28] <mobasher> i have the CD 9.04 can i resinstall from there ?
[03:28] <mobasher> live cd
[03:28] <jrib> mobasher: no you need alternate, though you could have gotten the gdm.conf from there...
[03:28] <glick> hwy whats the channal for ubuntu beta?
[03:28] <glick> 10.10
[03:28] <glick> ?
[03:28] <glick> im trying to find the repos for skype and google earth and all those goodies?

[03:33] <bikcmp> Hi, this might be a bit off topic here, but are the ubuntu FloodBot's open source?
[03:34] <rockhopper> are you using UNR?
[03:34] <uRock> no
[03:34] <uRock> nope
[03:34] <robb> i am
[03:34] <xangua> pie_time: network-manager-gnome if you....well, use gnome; network-manager-kde if.......
[03:34] <rockhopper> my brightness key doesn't do anything!!
[03:34] <bikcmp> uRock: was that directed to me?
[03:34] <uRock> I used the ubuntu-desktop
[03:34] <rockhopper> does your brightness key work?
[03:34] <robb> gotta hold the Fn key, but yea
[03:35] <robb> up, down, and ext vga
[03:35] <mxe5> How do I open a folder on the desktop as an administrator ? ?
[03:35] <uRock> I have never been able to get any of the specialized keys to work(though I have never tried), but ubuntu docs has a page for netbooks that may be helpful.
[03:35] <rockhopper> well, my Fn + *^ key doesn't work
[03:35] <mcc> is there anything in the ubuntu packages that will do something like track network usage on a machine over time?
[03:36] <uRock> mxe5: in a terminal enter gksu nautilus
[03:36] <DasEi> mcc: local or remote machine ?
[03:36] <rockhopper> nor does the Fn + *v
[03:36] <rockhopper> uRock, does your brightness key work?
[03:36] <mcc> dasei: um, remote machine i have ssh access to.
[03:36] <robb> mine worked from beginning
[03:37] <mcc> i have a monthly bandwidth cap and i would like to be able to easily check "how much up/down have i used this month?"
[03:37] <uRock> mcc, there is snort, wireshark, tcpdump and many other things, but they all require heavy reading to get them set up
[03:37] <DasEi> mcc: run darkstat or nagios on the remote, acces as client
[03:37] <rockhopper> robb, did you download any special package?
[03:37] <mcc> wireshark sounds pretty heavyweight
[03:37] <robb> no, just what the NBR installed
[03:37] <DasEi> dasei:if you user fowarded x , could also use etherape or showtraf
[03:37] <mcc> one other thing-- there's this /proc/net/dev thing. what time period are the numbers in there over? since startup?
[03:37] <uRock> rockhopper: don't have one
[03:37] <robb> have done all updates tho
[03:37] <tru3fate> how do i get my keyboard functions to work
[03:37] <mcc> anyway i'll check those out thanks
[03:38] <mobasher> can anyone help me install gdm please :)
[03:38] <rockhopper> i get this error in dmesg when i press that key

[03:39] <robb> mine's a compaq mini 110
[03:39] <rockhopper> i can control the brightness from terminal by set_pci something
[03:39] <uRock> this may still help with the Lenovo /msg NickServ identify

[03:40] <uRock> this may still help with the Lenovo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC
[03:40] <tensorpudding> it's an ACPI error think I believe
[03:40] <rockhopper> lol
[03:40] <DasEi> mobasher: just because of gdm missing, won't drop your network, how do you connect (the internal), by dhcp via a router ?
[03:40] <uRock> it is better when the clipboard reads my mind
[03:40] <rockhopper> heh!!
[03:40] <mobasher> DasEi >> i'm using the ndiswrapper the card is not supported now no more interent
[03:40] <rockhopper> thank your clipboard, it didn't read your pw
[03:41] <mxe5> uRock: Thanks much that should do it... Appreciate the helping hand...
[03:41] <mobasher> DasEi >> anyway i can get them from the Livd CD
[03:41] <DasEi> mobasher: ic, so we got to chroot in, but I'm no good at wireless, ok, your part then , so..

[03:44] <xangua> pie_time: was network-manager-gnome installed or did you have to¿
[03:44] <pie_time> xangua, it was already installed
[03:44] <DasEi> mobasher: you're currently not speaking fromm the live-cd ?
[03:45] <xangua> pie_time: no idea

[03:47] <DasEi> mobasher: I don't understand still.. you are on another hd (ubuntu) with the gdm-missing drive on the same laptop ?
[03:47] <sebsebseb> Hi
[03:47] <Habs> Is there any way to force native games or applications to run in a window if they have no way to do so in the settings or configuration files of that game?
[03:48] <mobasher> DasEi> okay no no..my desktop is broken...where gdm is missing...i'm on laptop getting help from you :)
[03:48] <mobasher> DasEi> i got in the filesystem using the recovery mode and now i'm at root on that machine where i mounted the Live cd
[03:49] <DasEi> mobasher: ah ok, so need to chroot in from live cd then, so your main problem is getting internet working now
[03:49] <DasEi> so no need*
[03:49] <llua> when using openbox some apps doesn't use the gtk+ theme is there a way to force the app to use it?
[03:50] <DasEi> mobasher: no way for wired network ?
[03:50] <Habs> Like, for example in Windows I know you can do this: http://compsimgames.about.com/cs/firsttimehere/ht/gamewindowed.htm Is there an equivalent in Ubuntu?
[03:50] <mobasher> DasEi> nope the wires are in the basement and i'm on the 3rd floor :(
[03:50] <mobasher> DasEi> this ndiswrapper thing is killing me not sure how to get that to work with this
[03:52] <DasEi> mobasher: as said, I'm no good at wireless, which chip is it ? or maybe a wire from lappi to desktop (patchcable is needed, unless gigabitnics or switch handy) ?
[03:52] <[Dead][Pixel]> if i have a 2tb hard drive and boot to it using LIVE CD, and i put external hard drives on the computer to xfer files to the 2tb drive, how do i do that? I don't see a location anywhere with all my other files on the drive... where is it?
[03:52] <red2kic> mobasher: I'm on 3rd floor and the router is in the basement! Just buy long cable wires. :)
[03:52] <ssax> Sorry, I missed the first guy. Anybody remember the screen that said "automatically setup separate /usr...blah" on Ubuntu Server 10.04 installation? Can anyone tell me what says exactly? I can't find it because I don't remember it and now I don't see it.
[03:52] <red2kic> mobasher: And a switch for every floor. :)
[03:52] <mobasher> DasEi> it's a maravell driver
[03:52] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: sudo fdisk -l shows external ?
[03:53] <mobasher> red2kic>> righttttttttt...i should move everyone else from the house cuz the PC needs to work :)
[03:53] <DasEi> mobasher: can't help there really, basics :
[03:53] <DasEi> !wireless
[03:54] <spazzy> I have just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a old pc.  It has a Nvidia AGP geforce 5500 graphics card.  I could only get it to run from the live cd with the nomodeset xforcevesa options.  After installing the cursor would flash on a black screen.  I edited the GRUB menu with nomodeset xforcevesa and now I can get to cli but I can't get into the x server.  xinit brings up a small window that looks...
[03:54] <spazzy> ...like a console but it is unresponsive.  Any suggestions on how to get the X.org window(GUI) environment working?
[03:54] <mobasher> DasEi> can't i move the packages from the livecd and use them somehow ?
[03:54] <DasEi> mobasher: another solution is hang the deskbox to your lappi
[03:55] <DasEi> mobasher: prbly, but I'm the wrong guy to ask
[03:55] <Viking667> quick question - how would I generate a sine wave from the commandline using the gstreamer tools? Some of the examples in the gst-launch manpage aren't working for me, telling me: Error constructing pipeline: no such element 'sinesrc'
[03:55] <Viking667> For what it's worth, I can't seem to use the "spider" element for the same reason
[03:56] <mobasher> DasEi> no worries bro..i think i'm gong to reinstall the stupid thing...what else can i do ..no much there is to do :) thanks for the info though...i should have just renamed the gdm.conf file to begin with instead of removing gdm
[03:56] <DasEi> mobasher: might be easier to boot desk by live cd, chroot in and try network conectivity, then install
[03:56] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: no, it's not the issue, my internet 2tb drive is what i use to boot the live cd to, and there is data on that drive, how do i find it?
[03:56] <mobasher> DasEi> naaa it's not going to work i know this old school pc....no worries i just have to reinstall weblogic on it again that's all.
[03:57] <mobasher> DasEi> which i was trying to avoid as much as i can :)
[03:57] <trakinas> [Dead][Pixel]: have you mounted your drives?
[03:58] <DasEi> mobasher: so ask again with exact chipset/model of the wireless nic (hwinfo will show) and for someone enabling it from cmd-line
[03:58] <trakinas> [Dead][Pixel]: if you go to Places > Computer you will probably see all your drives/partitions
[03:58] <mobasher> DasEi> learning more and more everyday with this system...3rd month now..must have been my 9th install playing with different things :)
[03:58] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: you found your desired parti's in fdisk ? name ?
[03:58] <[Dead][Pixel]> trakinas: i do not see it there,
[03:59] <mobasher> DasEi> don't worry about it...gime like 10 mins it should be backup again i'll tell u chipset it doesn't work with ubuntu system..it's not supported..its wirelss card on p5ad2 asus board
[03:59] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: no, how would i do that in terminal
[03:59] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: sudo fdisk -l
[03:59] <DasEi> -l = lower L
[04:00] <Habs> What is the policy here for "bumping" up questions that haven't been responded to/answered yet? Should we just accept the fact that nobody knows it, or are we allowed to bring it back up only after a certain amount of time, etc? (And yes, maybe this is some sort of cheesy way to bring back up my question :P)
[04:00] <DasEi> Habs:bring some patience, use forumsearch
[04:00] <DasEi> !patience > Habs
[04:00] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: i can't find it, it's a 2tb drive, it's the only internal one that i booted to the livecd from
[04:01] <trakinas> [Dead][Pixel]: pastebin what fdisk -l shows
[04:01] <[Dead][Pixel]> trakinas: i can't, the computer is next to me with no net
[04:01] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: did you boot live cd or did you use live cd to boot to a hd ? how many drives are connected ?
[04:01] <[Dead][Pixel]> trakinas: but the drives it shows, are external drives no larger than 250gb
[04:02] <glick> hey can anyone else verify if google repos are down?
[04:02] <trakinas> I see.
[04:02] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: i boot live cd, 4 drives connected, 2tb, 200gb, 200gb, 250gb
[04:02] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: i can not find 2tb drive, it's set as main drive on bios
[04:02] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: so prbly fdisk -l shows a long list of partitons..
[04:03] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: yes but none with over 250gb
[04:03] <trakinas> [Dead][Pixel]: try df -h and see what it outputs
[04:03] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: :)
[04:04] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: it says it is sdb, but it also says "disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
[04:04] <timotheus> I am running Ubuntu Server 10.04 with desktop environments installed to server NX sessions. How can I remove 'Shutdown', 'Restart', 'Suspend', 'Hibernate' from the UI environments and command-line for all users?
[04:05] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: which fs shall it be ? what' s the os you're talking from now ?
[04:05] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: im on my laptop using ubuntu
[04:05] <mobasher> timotheus>> i believe that has to do with user groups permissions if i'm not wrong
[04:05] <brandon420> can anyone explain how to get the music status's on xchat?
[04:05] <trakinas> [Dead][Pixel]: is it ntfs?
[04:06] <[Dead][Pixel]> trakinas: i have no idea, it was just an external, i put it in as master, it was factory formatted, but it has data on it
[04:06] <trakinas> [Dead][Pixel]: I see.
[04:06] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: which filesystem shall sdb5 be ?
[04:06] <DasEi> ah ^
[04:07] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: prbly unformated then
[04:07] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: yeah it doesn't say, it says there is no partition table, so no info is loaded other than the drive
[04:07] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: so will have to do that first
[04:07] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: well if it was unformatted, how come i can hook it up to this laptop with ubuntu via USB (external) and it works
[04:07] <trakinas> I have to go now.
[04:07] <trakinas> cheers all!
[04:07] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: i don't want to format, it has data on it :p
[04:08] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: so hang up again to laptop and check what's up with it
[04:08] <brandon420> does anyone know how to get "now playing" option on xchat?
[04:08] <DasEi> brandon420: it's a plugin
[04:08] <brandon420> DasEi, can you be more specific?
[04:09] <timotheus> brandon420: some web pages from 2008 and older say to remove shutdown permission from gdm.conf in /etc/ ; but that file does not exist with the new GDM. In fact, the new GDM configuration is not strait forward.
[04:09] <DasEi> brandon420: sudo apt-get install pidgin*, then can choose it from pluginview (amongst many others)
[04:09] <brandon420> for irc though?
[04:09]  * red2kic is now playing "Spamming the channels"
[04:09] <bsmith093> if i have an avi file that should be one but is actually two files can i just join them together with something like lxsplit? will that work to play the complete file?
[04:09] <brandon420> and thanks timotheus,think you got the wrong person though.
[04:10] <brandon420> wells
[04:10] <brandon420> ill brb
[04:10] <brandon420> opps
[04:10] <Starcraftmazter> hey guys
[04:10] <mobasher> hey
[04:11] <Starcraftmazter> I've just hooked up 2 monitors with an ati/amd 5870
[04:11] <Starcraftmazter> can someone give me guidence on how i can get 1 monitor to equal one workspace?
[04:11] <bsmith093> so anyway joining avi file will that work or is there something else i have to do to ensure the whole file will be played
[04:12] <Steve132> So, I'm in dire need of a new laptop
[04:12] <red2kic> bsmith093: Why don't you play one file? Then play second file? Sometimes it is the simplest approach. :)
[04:12] <Steve132> and for the first time in my life I have the money to get something nice
[04:12] <DasEi> !dualhead | Starcraftmazter
[04:12] <Loshki> bsmith093: you want avimerge to join the files....
[04:12] <bsmith093> k then i suppose thats fine
[04:12] <bsmith093> how long will it take
[04:13] <Steve132> My job is a graphics reseacher and programmer at a university
[04:13] <sacarlson> [Dead][Pixel]: I'm sure you looked at it with gparted?  seems what I read above you have a new 2tb disk with nothing of value on it just factory stuf.  sounds like you should just partition and format it and copy your files to it.  am I wrong?
[04:13] <Steve132> So I really want my new laptop to support DirectX11, or more specifically, OpenGL4.   In the past, I've been really loyal to nvidia, mostly because of their superior linux driver support
[04:13] <red2kic> bsmith093: I googled. Example: mencoder -ovc lavc start.avi end.avi -o complete.avi
[04:13] <mikeru> I have a 64-bit system. I only have 2GB of RAM though. Do I still get a speed boost for using the amd64 version, or does that only happen when you have more than 4GB of RAM?
[04:14] <thune3> ls -lrt
[04:14] <Steve132> mikeru: You should get a boost
[04:14] <tensorpudding> there isn't really a speed boost associated with 64-bit, that I know of
[04:14] <xangua> mikeru: better use 32bit with !pae kernel
[04:14] <bsmith093> red2kic: i found avi merge going to try that seems perfect
[04:14] <[Dead][Pixel]> sacarlson: DasEi i just hooked it up to this laptop it says NTFS, and there is a partition table...
[04:14] <mikeru> tensorpudding, AFAIK the speed boost is that you can access more than 4GB of RAM natively with no PAE mumbo jumbo
[04:14] <xangua> well if only 2gb !pae is not necesary
[04:15] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: which live cd you use ? older one ?
[04:15] <Izinucs> I'm trying to use Brassero to create an iso of a cd.. it wants to create a .toc .. how do I get it to create an .iso?
[04:15] <tensorpudding> that's not really a speed boost
[04:15] <mikeru> tensorpudding, I heard PAE is slower than native access
[04:15] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: or size of drive maybe not supported by other bios ?
[04:15] <sacarlson> [Dead][Pixel]: so did a friend give it to you with files you want to copy from it or do you want to put files on it?
[04:15] <mikeru> tensorpudding, and 64-bit arithmetic stuff
[04:15] <tensorpudding> probably true
[04:15] <Steve132> tensorpudding: I don't know if the benchmarks bear it out, but a 64-bit cpu using 32-bit instructions, especially when most of the x86 packages are compiled for a 386 or 586
[04:15] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: live cd 10.04
[04:15] <Starcraftmazter> DasEi: is it not possible to do on gnome then?
[04:15] <mobasher> DasEi> yipie back in action hehehe :)
[04:15] <[Dead][Pixel]> sacarlson: bios recognizes drive
[04:15] <tensorpudding> 64-bit addressing should actually increase ram usage I think
[04:16] <Steve132> would theoretically be significantly slower than native 64-bit
[04:16] <mikeru> tensorpudding, It does.
[04:16] <Steve132> instructions
[04:16] <DasEi> Starcraftmazter: it is
[04:16] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: sacarlson the drive was external originally, perhaps it's the controller card?
[04:16] <mikeru> hmm
[04:16] <mikeru> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64_bit#Pros_and_cons
[04:16] <gryllida> I'm on Hardy, trying to compile something, get message `This script requires a shell more modern than all the shells that I found on your system. Please install a modern shell, or manually run the script under such a shell if you do have one.'. What can I do?
[04:16] <xangua> gryllida: update your system¿
[04:17] <tensorpudding> gryllida: what shell is this
[04:17] <Steve132> Uh, anyway, what I wanted to ask was "Does ATIs linux support still suck?  Anyone run OpenGL apps under ati drivers?"
[04:17] <tensorpudding> it probably means that your version of bash or ash is so old that the shell scripts are incompatible
[04:17] <Izinucs> nvm.. I got it.. properties change to iso... doh! . you'd figure that would be the default for brassero
[04:17] <gryllida> tensorpudding: define `what shell' question, I do not understand
[04:17] <sacarlson> [Dead][Pixel]: I don't think it's a controller problem.  did you try auto mount it by going to Places>Computer and click on the device to auto mount it?
[04:17] <gryllida> xangua: how?
[04:18] <xangua> gryllida: run update manager and upate to lucid
[04:18] <gryllida> xangua: I have cli access only
[04:18] <xangua> upgrade*
[04:18] <gryllida> no gui
[04:18] <tensorpudding> gryllida: what shell is it trying to use to compile whatever it is you're installing
[04:18] <xangua> !update
[04:18] <DontKnow17898> ubottu has been kicked automaticly by  -No_One ScripT-
[04:18] <DasEi> [Dead][Pixel]: I don't think so, but look up the type in gpated, next to size could be a table problem
[04:18] <prince_jammys> gryllida: Hardy has bash 3.X, which is a pretty modern shell. That installer has a problem.
[04:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> sacarlson: i plug the drive externally into the computer and boot into ubuntu livecd and it shows up fine, so i don't know why it won't work internally
[04:18] <gryllida> xangua: you mean ungrade to 10.04?
[04:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> DasEi: see aboe^
[04:18] <[Dead][Pixel]> above*
[04:18] <xangua> gryllida: yes
[04:18] <Loshki> gryllida: I afree with prince_jammys. So what is it that you are trying to compile?
[04:19] <gryllida> Loshki: bopm
[04:19] <mikeru> gryllida, sudo do-release-upgrade
[04:19] <mikeru> what the shell.
[04:19] <gryllida> ok
[04:19] <tensorpudding> gryllida: what software is this you're trying to compile
[04:19] <Datz> hi, I'm tring to edit something with emacs, but I can't edit the file. It says it is locked.
[04:19] <Datz> how can I unlock the file?
[04:19] <tensorpudding> gryllida: you should check the requirements of this software to see what it means
 what kind of file...try sudo it
[04:20] <DasEi> Datz: own it to you or least give write access
[04:20] <Steve132> mikeru: Regarding the link you posted, it seems mostly talking about proprietary software, for which most of it is compiled in 386 mode so it won't get the benefit...but if you get 64-bit ubuntu, ALL of your code can use wider data paths, more registers, and the full x86_64 architecture, including sse3 and all that
[04:20] <mikeru> hey
[04:20] <spazzy> I have just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a old pc.  It has a Nvidia AGP geforce 5500 graphics card.  I could only get it to run from the live cd with the nomodeset xforcevesa options.  After installing the cursor would flash on a black screen.  I edited the GRUB menu with nomodeset xforcevesa and now I can get to cli but I can't get into the x server.  xinit brings up a small window that looks...
[04:20] <spazzy> ...like a console but it is unresponsive.  Any suggestions on how to get the X.org window(GUI) environment working?
[04:20] <Datz> mobasher: I've actually tried that as well, with no success.
[04:21] <Steve132> mikeru: Unless you have some compelling reason to get the 32-bit version (driver issue or proprietary software that's 32 only) then I strongly reccomend 64-bit
[04:21] <mobasher> as DasEi said try to own and then and try it
[04:21] <Loshki> gryllida: Upgrading is a last resort, IMO. Is it bopm-3.1.3.tar.gz, or a cvs version...
[04:21] <mikeru> Steve132, but doesn't it use more memory?
[04:21] <Izinucs> spazzy: do a full upgrade now.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .. when done sudo service gdm start
[04:21] <Datz> DasEi: I was just editing it recently
[04:21] <Datz> I created the file
[04:21] <Steve132> maybe, but its probably miniscule
[04:21] <Steve132> the memory usage will be in pointer variables
[04:21] <mikeru> Loshki, lucid is LTS and should be much better supported
[04:22] <gryllida> do-release-upgrade as root says   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.py", line 92, in __init__
[04:22] <gryllida>     t=thread.start_new_thread(self.download, ())
 try sudo vi <name of file>
[04:22] <gryllida> thread.error: can't start new thread
[04:22] <Steve132> but most reasonably well-designed programs don't have huge blocks of memory that is only pointers
[04:22] <Datz> mobasher: humm, ok..
[04:22] <DasEi> Datz: sudo emacs, try again, no success ? ls -a someFile tells you more
[04:22] <mikeru> gryllida: WEIRD. (and nextime use pastebin.ubuntu.com)
[04:22] <prince_jammys> gryllida: it's extremely unlikely that that installer requires bash newer than hardy's.
[04:22] <Datz> guess I'll have to try
[04:22] <gryllida> hrm
[04:22] <prince_jammys> no matter what the error message says
[04:22] <gryllida> Loshki, yes, 3.1.3
[04:22] <Loshki> mikeru: it should, but it isn't. It's not particularly better than 8.04, and sometimes worse....
[04:23] <Loshki> gryllida: let me try it on my hardy system...
[04:23] <Datz> DasEi, mobasher: while I was gone I noticed this in the terminal: [1]+  Stopped                 emacs contact.php
[04:23] <mobasher> DasEi> new system is quite fast now :) now going to load the weblogic :)
[04:23] <mikeru> wait, gryllida is on 8.04??? that's OLDDD
[04:23] <tensorpudding> 8.04 is the previous LTS release
[04:23] <prince_jammys> it's not *that* old.
[04:23] <tensorpudding> so it's not that odd
[04:24] <gryllida> mikeru: ya. and as I said, the upgraade cmd you gave me doesn't succeed.
 you have a lock on the file of yourself...try ps -ef | grep emacs
[04:24] <mikeru> gryllida: I don't know then :(
[04:24] <tensorpudding> there should be instructions for upgrading from LTS to LTS
[04:24] <Datz> thanks mobasher
[04:24] <mikeru> old to me. but whatever
[04:24] <mikeru> : )
[04:24] <tensorpudding> gryllida: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Hardy
[04:25] <DasEi> tensorpudding: there is , just call update-manager
[04:25] <Datz> mobasher: datz     12988 27037  0 21:31 pts/0    00:00:00 emacs contact.php
[04:25] <gryllida> will the upgrade save my user files ?
[04:25] <Datz> mobasher: I should kill that process?
[04:25] <tensorpudding> gryllida: yes
[04:25] <mobasher> Datz> you can kill the process >>BUT that will leave all changes as is and kill it...maybe it may not save some of the work you ahve done
[04:26] <Loshki> gryllida: upgrading is a huge sledgehammer for this small nut. You'll be months recovering from the upgrade. Just want you to know what you might be letting yourself in for. Have you tried these directions: http://wiki.swiftirc.net/index.php?title=Installing_and_Configuring_BOPM_on_Linux
[04:26] <Datz> ok, thanks mobasher
[04:26] <mobasher> Datz> np good luck :)
[04:26] <gryllida> Loshki: of course. ./configure gives the old shell error.
[04:27] <Loshki> gryllida: I can't download bopm-3.1.3.tar.gz right now, site seems to be down :-(
[04:27] <tensorpudding> gryllida: there is a bopm package in hardy by the way
[04:28] <DasEi> gryllida: just a shot in the dark : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install build-essential && sudo apt-get -f missing     ?
[04:28] <mikeru> hey, my magic mouse stopped working in ubuntu :(
[04:28] <Loshki> tensorpudding: well spotted...!
[04:28] <gryllida> aptitude safe upgraade cmd says FATAL -> Failed to fork.
[04:28] <tensorpudding> gryllida: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/bopm
[04:28] <gryllida> :o
[04:28] <tensorpudding> you don't need to upgrade
[04:28] <gryllida> lol
[04:28] <mikeru> ö
[04:28] <gryllida> it's packaged
[04:28] <DasEi> !info bopm
[04:28] <mobasher> gryllida>> u're lucky it didn't replace that o with a u in fork there :)
[04:28] <tensorpudding> it's only a minor version behind the one in lucid besides
[04:29] <gryllida> mobasher: er I don't understaand last line
[04:29] <mobasher> gryllida>> no worries :) just a stupid joke :)
[04:30] <Loshki> gryllida: And anyway, don't upgrade just on a whim and just because someone in here tells you to. At the very least, you need a full backup before you attempt an upgrade...
[04:30] <mobasher> DasEi> how long have u been in the linux world ?
[04:30] <Datz> mobasher: well I can't kill the process for some reason
[04:31] <nsGrif> Can anyone help me with a problem in 10.10?
[04:31] <DasEi> mobasher: about 4 years, different shapes though, but's that's ot
[04:31] <Datz> I try kill pid, sudo kill pid.. top -p pid .. .still there
[04:31] <mobasher> Datz>> do a kill -9 <process>
[04:31] <tensorpudding> Datz: what state is the process in
[04:31] <Datz> mobasher: thanks
[04:32] <Datz> tensorpudding: not sure.. but let me try the -9 option.. whatever that is
[04:32] <Datz> lol
[04:32] <Datz> mobasher: by <process> that is ID number?
[04:32] <javatexan> moin all
[04:32] <prince_jammys> Datz: yes, PID.
[04:33] <mobasher> paste the ps -ef | grep emacs
[04:33] <mobasher> Datz> paste the ps -ef | grep emacs
[04:33] <tensorpudding> don't kill -9 without care
[04:33] <javatexan> I put on 10.10 beta....how to add sun jdk, jre, etc?  seems to be different than 10.04
[04:33] <zeleftikam> i have a 10.04 install on a machine with very limited disk space. is there something obvious in the install that i can harmlessly delete to free up lots of space? i took off openoffice and the media player and stuff like that i could find. any ideas on slimming down?
[04:33] <Loshki> !10.10
[04:33] <tensorpudding> -9 means send SIGKILL instead of SIGTERM; it's kinda sorta like Force Quit in Windows.
[04:33] <nsGrif> The 10.10 beta isnt installing for me.
[04:33] <robb> houldn't there be 3?
[04:33] <robb> doing the installer again... i see in disk utility there is only 2 partitions on the ext drive,
[04:34] <Loshki> nsGrif: javatexan: please use #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 issues
[04:34] <mobasher> DasEi> not bad...i have been in and out of the ubuntu world 3 years then kept going to windows back again...on the solaris system at work but you dont get to play with production environment too much :)
[04:34] <Datz> ok, the process doesn't appear, but I still can't edit the file with emacs.
[04:34] <Datz> lol
[04:34] <Datz> I love it
 worked ?
[04:35] <DasEi> Datz: what a file is it ? just a project file ? a systemfile ?
[04:35] <mobasher> Datz>> dude use vi ...more powerfull ;)
[04:35] <tensorpudding> you can try using lsof to see if it is open somewhere
[04:36] <prince_jammys> tell us the error message.
[04:36] <Steve132> so, does anyone have any experience with ATI under linux?  Does it still suck?  Can you run OpenGL well?
[04:36] <tensorpudding> there's probably a file that is created when emacs locks a file from being edited, and just killing emacs didn't remove that lockfile
[04:36] <Datz> mobasher: but the I have to learn vi
[04:36] <Datz> lol
[04:36] <tensorpudding> possibly in /var/lock
[04:36] <Datz> DasEi: just a small unimportant php file
[04:37] <Datz> humm
[04:37] <spazzy> vi is not to bad really just takes a little while to get use to
 ATI works man..but i'm on 9.04...works great for me like a charm..will get a nvida card soon then try the latest version of ubuntu...but so far it's very stable :)
[04:37] <tensorpudding> hmm, it seems that it would be in the same folder as the file you were editing
[04:37] <prince_jammys> Steve132: if you need 3D from fglrx, support for some cards has been discontinued. The open source 'radeon' works pretty well, depending on your needs.
[04:37] <Loshki> Datz: read the online help for emacs re: Interlocking. There's a lock file you probably need to delete..
[04:37] <DasEi> Steve132: for ubuntu, the newer ati's are better supported by the opensource-drivers, though still no fun in propitary drivers, so I prefer nvidia or others
[04:37] <tensorpudding> so try doing ls -a in that directory
[04:37] <Datz> Loshki: I'll take a look
[04:37] <mobasher> Datz>> hahahhaa..it's not that hard mate...if i can learn it anyone in this room can trust me :) just look for cheat sheet of vi on the net :)
[04:38] <Steve132> prince_jammys: Yeah, I need the proprietary driver support, because I need OpenGL4 for my job
[04:38] <prince_jammys> Steve132: check if your card is supported.
[04:38] <prince_jammys> !ati
[04:38] <DasEi> Datz: php is for acces, so consider to change it back afterwards : sudo chowm Datz some.php, change accordingly
[04:38] <DasEi> Datz: php is for acces, so consider to change it back afterwards : sudo chown Datz some.php, change accordingly ^typo
[04:38] <Steve132> Well, I haven't bought anything yet, I'm looking into a new system and I want to know if the price difference on the top-of-the line is worht it
[04:39] <mobasher> Steve132>> it's funny some of the top of the line cards sometimes give u more headache than the 100 bucks card ..which works like a blaze lol..trust me
[04:39] <prince_jammys> Look online for problems with fglrx and whatever card you're thinking of buying
[04:39] <DasEi> Steve132: depends on what you want to do with it under ubuntu
[04:39] <Steve132> An HD5870 looks awesome vs a GF480 for the price, but I need the high end GPU support and OpenGL4,
[04:40] <Steve132> I want to run and compile GL4 applications
[04:40] <chris_osx> how are the opensource-drivers energy-wise? do they safe the same amount of energy as the proprietary ones ? (on notebooks)
[04:40] <Datz> mobasher: well.. I'll look into vi
[04:40] <Datz> DasEi: thanks, I'll try that
[04:40] <mobasher> Datz >>> no worries anytime ;-)
[04:41] <Steve132> so, its looking like I should stick with Nvidia despite the price because of the better proprietary driver support
[04:41] <DasEi> Datz: emacs is more advanced, for starting up nano,vi or (x) gedit and kate are for startup
[04:42] <Datz> well, I've used emacs for awhile.. leaned to like it.. but worth looking into other editors
[04:43] <prince_jammys> Datz: what is the problem?
[04:43] <DasEi> Steve: sadly yes, desktop effects can be done with some ati's upper the 9200 series, but full 3 d support is still a problem,
[04:43] <tensorpudding> Datz: did you do what i suggested?
[04:44] <DasEi> Datz: listen to tensorp, too, case file is locked by another process
[04:44] <prince_jammys> ''fuser /path/to/file''
[04:44] <Datz> tensorpudding: sorry, sidetracked to no end :P looking now
[04:44] <prince_jammys> or ''fuser -vki /path/to/file''
[04:44] <delinquentme> Hey all .. SO i was just having trouble w my flash player .. and i got it fixed by changing the specified driver for chrome.. NOW i cant play .movs
[04:45] <delinquentme> anyone have any suggestions?
[04:45] <Datz> tensorpudding: I've deleted all buffer files or any other from that dir. Also, I've cp and removed old then renamed, still no luck
[04:46] <Datz> I bet you apache2 is locking the file.
[04:46] <spazzy> no internet on a wireless desktop, no way to run cable either, only have CLI, any suggestions?
[04:46] <Datz> spazzy: suggestion for what?
[04:46] <kezkankrayon> @Datz might be late and irrelevant. have you seen vimtutor?
[04:46] <DasEi> !wireless | spazzy
[04:47] <spazzy> datz: to get the internet working
[04:47] <spazzy> ubottu:  will read that ty
[04:47] <Datz> kezkankrayon: hehem thanks.. but I'm not looking to switch editors, but rather solve the current problem of a file being locked. ;)
[04:47] <DasEi> np, spazzy, ubott.. is the channel ro-bot
[04:47] <ijustam> Really quick, does Ubuntu 10 use Python 2.6?
[04:47] <tonsofpcs> Installed netbook on my eeepc900a earlier this week, I can't seem to get the home key to be mapped to home, it seems to be stuck as meta...
[04:47] <spazzy> DasEi: lol
[04:47] <Datz> spazzy: oh.. see that link :)
[04:48] <spazzy> ty
[04:48] <DasEi> ijustam: yes
[04:48] <ijustam> all i needed to know, thanks
[04:49] <prince_jammys> Datz: what does ''fuser /path/to/file'' say?
[04:49] <|Sacred|> tonsofpcs settings>keyboard shortcuts, should be able to bind whatever keys you want in there
[04:50] <Datz> prince_jammys: with no quotes, there is no output
[04:50] <tonsofpcs> |Sacred|: It won't let me as it sees the physical keypress as "meta" and not "XFHome" or "WinkeyL" whatever it should be
[04:50] <prince_jammys> Datz: try with sudo.
[04:50] <Datz> ok
[04:50] <Datz> prince_jammys: still nothing
[04:51] <prince_jammys> and emacs says it is locked?
[04:51]  * Datz checks again
[04:51] <prince_jammys> try #emacs
[04:51] <Datz> apparently I am only reading a buffer
[04:51] <Datz> ok
[04:52] <prince_jammys> #emacs folks might know what to do.
[04:52] <Datz> good call, thanks
[04:52] <prince_jammys> welcome
[04:53] <pfifo> why cant use unionfs in 10.04?
[04:53] <pfifo> why cant i even install unionfs in 10.04?
[04:54] <mobasher> pfifo> what's unionfs ?
[04:54] <mikeru> mobasher, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unionfs
[04:56] <pfifo> as far as i can tell here (im on the livecd) they switched to aufs, but refuse to let me use both aufs and unionfs levaing me solutionless for merging mutiple directoreis, I say this because i cannont install utilties for aufs nor unionfs and neither will work in a mount command
[04:58] <mobasher> mikeru>> thanks mate :) interesting :)
[04:58] <van7hu> hello all
[04:59] <mobasher> van7hu >hey
[04:59] <pfifo> a simple test case for this can be found here http://pastebin.com/hRvDDdDZ
[04:59] <van7hu> I just type sudo apt-get install stadict
[04:59] <van7hu> in lucid
[04:59] <van7hu> Is that stardict
[04:59] <van7hu> in sourceforge
[04:59] <van7hu> ?
[05:00] <mobasher> van7hu >> yeap u're right
[05:00] <white_magic> hey, i downloaded the latest version of firefox (the latest beta for ff4), but I'm not sure where to place the folder
[05:01] <white_magic> i'd appreciate some help..
[05:01] <van7hu> heh
[05:01] <van7hu> are you sure ?
[05:01] <van7hu> mobasher
[05:01] <mobasher> van7hu>> yea give it a shot
[05:02] <xangua> white_magic: just extract it
[05:02] <DasEi> white_magic: I suggest you to add daily build repo and have it automated
[05:02] <mobasher> van7hu>> why don't you try in the snaptics ?
[05:02] <van7hu> hell
[05:02] <van7hu> thank you
[05:02] <prince_jammys> white_magic: maybe http://twitteling.com/2010/07/how-to-install-the-firefox-browser-beta-4-on-ubuntu/ is of use.
[05:02] <DasEi> white_magic:else can put the deb anywhere and install it
[05:02] <prince_jammys> white_magic: the link above is what DasEi is suggesting.
[05:02] <prince_jammys> (the first suggestion)
[05:02] <xangua> DasEi: mozilla doesn't provide .deb and daily build sounds loke a bad idea
[05:03] <pfifo> how do i install unionfs?
[05:03] <van7hu> oh
[05:03] <van7hu> thanks
[05:04] <mobasher> van7hu>> did you find it ?
[05:04] <white_magic> ok
[05:05] <DasEi> xangua: daily build next to stable, why not ? yes, tar.gz now, missed sth. there, there where debs somewwhere
[05:05] <pfifo> how do i install unionfs?
[05:06] <van7hu> I just installed it by terminal
[05:06] <mobasher> van7hu>> lol okay as long as u got what u need i guess :)
[05:07] <tonsofpcs> installed Ubuntu Netbook latest [10.04?] on my eeepc 900a, for some reason X is seeing the  homekey keypress as meta rather than as WinkeyL or XHome or whatever it needs to be to be used to map to  a custom shortcut and/or 'home'.... any idea how to get it to map properly?
[05:07] <van7hu> It provides me a chinese dict
[05:07] <van7hu> :D
[05:07] <tonsofpcs> (keycode 133)
[05:07] <mobasher> van7hu>> nice :)
[05:07] <DasEi> !repeat pfifo
[05:08] <DasEi> !repeat|  pfifo, try apt-cache search  unionfs, there is some stuff, never tried it , though
[05:08] <pfifo> im seriously 2 seconds away from filing a bug here
[05:08] <mobasher> lol
[05:08] <van7hu> I am trying with synaptic
[05:08] <van7hu> the 1st time
[05:08] <van7hu> heh
[05:09] <mobasher> van7hu>> it's quite easy to do that...you get tons of other choices as well

[05:24] <rockhopper> and run the sudo rfkill list and see if its hardblocked!
[05:24] <mxe5> I can not get the regular #ubuntu channel to come up - It say's #ubuntu-unregged - I registered this Nick I'm using right now - So what is the problem ? ?
[05:24] <txt23> rockhopper: Still the same
[05:24] <rockhopper> ok.. its caused coz of some unsync of the switches..
[05:24] <txt23> rockhopper: hard block is still on. :(
[05:25] <rockhopper> do you have windows?
[05:25] <rockhopper> installed!
[05:25] <txt23> rockhopper: Yes I do
[05:25] <rockhopper> it happens when the wifi's disabled in some other os..
[05:25] <rockhopper> try booting in windows and switch wifi on!
[05:25] <rww> mxe5: You're not identified with nickserv.
[05:25] <txt23> rockhopper: It was on though.
[05:25] <rww> mxe5: /msg nickserv identify usernamehere passwordhere
[05:25] <rockhopper> try it again txt23
[05:26] <txt23> Oh ok I will thank you
[05:26] <rockhopper> it must work that way!
[05:28] <mxe5> rww: So type in your second command in the top feenode area ?
[05:29] <rww> mxe5: yes. It should open up a private message window with Nickserv and send that text top it.
[05:29] <rww> to **
[05:31] <mxe5> rww: I did it - and got back - This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.

[05:33] <ryaxnb> sry, wrong post
[05:35] <mxe5> rww: So I just went back there and typed in my password and it recognized me - so does that mean the Nick I'm using is registered and valid but for some reason need to check with #freenode ?
[05:35] <rww> mxe5: Looks like you're identified now, so whatever you did worked.

[05:40] <rww> Karen_m: #ubuntu+1
[05:40] <Blue1> Karen_m: it's for the next release of ubuntu (10.10 maverick meercat) currently in beta
[05:43] <newbiePOH> hello
[05:43] <Datz> every ubuntu (type?) get a new release?
[05:44] <Datz> -generic -pae -server etc?
[05:46] <zilch_> where do I get answer for ruby on rails setup related query ... not about development in ruby on rails ..
[05:47] <tensorpudding> There should be a rails channel on freenode somewhere.
[05:47] <zilch_> k
[05:47] <zilch_> tensorpudding, but my question is about installing latest package on ubuntu ...
[05:47] <white_magic> random question, if i use the 'man myCmd' in terminal, how can i find out how many options it has w/o needing to count them?
[05:48] <tensorpudding> There's an ubuntu help article on rails
[05:49] <coleisman> wow
[05:49] <nocturnus> does ubuntu live come with b43 wireless driver?
[05:49] <coleisman> haven't been on IRC in a long time
[05:49] <coleisman> b43?
[05:49] <nocturnus> yes
[05:49] <nocturnus> broadcom b43
[05:49] <coleisman> what chipset
[05:49] <coleisman> oh
[05:49] <coleisman> should
[05:49] <nocturnus> no
[05:50] <Datz> if I create a cron job to read a file, and output it to a dir every x number of min, will it replace the old file?
[05:50] <nocturnus> doesnt work
[05:50] <tensorpudding> I had to download the b43 driver.
[05:50] <nocturnus> and ubnut is telling me to install it
[05:50] <nocturnus> tensorpudding: where from?
[05:50] <rww> nocturnus: yes, it comes with the b43 driver. It doesn't come with b43-fwcutter installed, though.
[05:50] <nocturnus> why do i need fwcutter?
[05:50] <tensorpudding> The device manager allowed me to get the firmware.
[05:50] <nocturnus> i just wanna go on the internet
[05:50] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: I have it working on my notebook hp dv2000
[05:50] <PresuntoRJ> b43
[05:50] <tensorpudding> I didn't mind too much it was proprietary.
[05:50] <red2kic> nocturnus: And I just want to compile kernels. :)
[05:50] <nocturnus> what's the name ofgthe pkg that the download manager downloads?
[05:50] <tensorpudding> But I didn't have to do anything manually, it was all automatic.
[05:50] <nocturnus> i dont have wireless in ubuntu so i can't dl it
[05:50] <rww> nocturnus: b43 is the driver. b43-fwcutter gets the firmware for your device. a lot (all?) of bcm43xx devices need non-free firmware to actually work.
[05:51] <spyk3> hello
[05:51] <rww> !bcm43xx
[05:51] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: I went to my system/admin menu
[05:51] <tensorpudding> I had to plug it into the ethernet of course.
[05:51] <nocturnus> i dont hav ether
[05:51] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: driver hardware...
[05:51] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: I was connect via ethernet cable for that... it had downloaded the b43 drivers...
[05:51] <nocturnus> all of u guys downloaded via ethernet
[05:52] <nocturnus> just tell me the download location ill DL it in windows then place it on the LIVE sub
[05:52] <nocturnus> usb
[05:52] <IdleOne> nocturnus: packages.ubuntu.com
[05:52] <Datz> Does this look like a legitimate working crontab entry? */5 * * * * cat /var/log/fail2ban.log > /var/www/site/fail2ban.log
[05:53] <PresuntoRJ> IdleOne: do you know the name of the packages he needs?
[05:54] <JamezQ> Is this the right place to ask a question about bash
[05:54] <nocturnus> IdleOne: dunow pkg name
[05:54] <JamezQ> ?
[05:54] <JamezQ> Or terminal
[05:54] <JamezQ> I don't know yet
[05:54] <nocturnus> connect where is the package in ethernet but then i have to command line it
[05:54] <PresuntoRJ> JamezQ: could be...
[05:54] <JamezQ> alright, I shall ask.
[05:54] <IdleOne> JamezQ: #bash maybe
[05:54] <PresuntoRJ> !ask | JamezQ
[05:54] <IdleOne> nocturnus: rww told you the name of the package already
[05:55] <nocturnus> i have to reboot brb trying something
[05:55] <nocturnus> IdleOne: what is it i dont even know it
[05:55] <nocturnus> alrady
[05:55] <Tweaky> !vbox
[05:55] <holocene> I am having an issue getting virtualbox guest additions working right on ubuntu lucid vbox 3.1.6. My issue is that I can not resize my vbox window to larger than 60% or so of host screen. How can I get a larger screen?
[05:56] <JamezQ> So I want to put each directory in a directory into it's own *.zip. But I don't know how to in terminal. Example: A B C D ---> A.zip B.zip C.zip D.zip
[05:56] <uRock> man tar
[05:56] <uRock> !tar
[05:57] <JamezQ> Eh, does anyone know how to do what I am saying though, I have tried reading the man
[05:57] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: I believe u need b43-fwcutter.deb .... I have the version 1:012-1build1   on my system, working from the driver download applet
[05:57] <boywonder> hi can anyone please help out with missing mbr-helper?
[06:02] <prince_jammys> JamezQ: for dir in */; do zip -r "${dir%/}.zip" "$dir"; done
[06:03] <JamezQ> price, how would I use that for, example, home/james/A
[06:03] <JamezQ> where everything is in A
[06:03] <prince_jammys> it'll zip every subdirectory in the present dir
[06:03] <JamezQ> alright, thanks ^ ^
[06:03] <nocturnus> do i need anything else except from bf-cutter ?
[06:04] <nocturnus> i just want to lecture on my hotmail emails
[06:04] <uRock> JamezQ: tar -cvf <file.name> to compress and tar -xvf <file.name> to extract
[06:04] <JamezQ> so, just to be sure, the command is do "zip -r "${dir%/}.zip" "$dir"; done"
[06:04] <MichaelSOG> I've a question, why recently when I get in freenode, in ubuntu channel automatically, it redirects me to ubuntu.unreagged, or something like that
[06:04] <MichaelSOG> my nickname is also registered
[06:04] <JamezQ> it ends with done, right/
[06:04] <JamezQ> ?
[06:04] <prince_jammys> JamezQ: no, the entire thing i said.
[06:04] <prince_jammys> for .... done
[06:04] <nocturnus> anyone knows how much it works?
[06:04] <uRock> MichaelSOG: I have had that same problem.
[06:05] <JamezQ> thanks
[06:05] <MichaelSOG> I don't know why =/
[06:05] <prince_jammys> JamezQ: the 'for', 'do', 'done' is not english, it's the full shell loop.
[06:05] <prince_jammys> it's code
[06:05] <JamezQ> Thank you so much
[06:05] <MichaelSOG> and just with this channel, others doesn't make me something similar
[06:06] <uRock> yup
[06:07] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: it depends on few packages, most on default installation
[06:07] <MichaelSOG> none can tell me why?
[06:08] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: debconf (>= 0.5) , debconf-2.0 , libc6 (>= 2.4) , and wget
[06:08] <red2kic> !identify | MichaelSOG
[06:09] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: it works just fine, I am typing from a b43 wifi connection right now
[06:09] <b00m_chef> I am trying to get a samba share (OSX) to mount in ubuntu, however, the permissions are f*kd...can someone help?
[06:09] <b00m_chef> In fstab I have it setup with a credentials file and defaults
[06:09] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: it might have some issues with a particular chipset, but the chance for it to work is good
[06:09] <b00m_chef> when I try to create a test directory in the mounted samba OSX share, I get this: mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Permission denied
[06:10] <MichaelSOG> kinda freak, I've put that service on my Konversation =/
[06:10] <chazz> is the code of FloodBot available?
[06:11] <aegis> Hey, any idea when Drupal will work with Ubuntu 10.04?
[06:11] <PresuntoRJ> nocturnus: my system runs on a BCM4311 rev 01
[06:11] <Gnea> drupal doesn't work with 10.04?
[06:11] <chazz> aegis, ..it does?
[06:11] <chazz> s/?//
[06:12] <PresuntoRJ> aegis: there is a package for that, you could also run from their repository trunk... most likely, #ubuntu-server will be able to help you a lot
[06:12] <aegis> well, you have to downgrade to the PHP from Karmic
[06:12] <aegis> Thanks PresuntoRJ
[06:13] <rww> chazz: no
[06:13] <PresuntoRJ> aegis: remember to specify if you are trying to use drupal 5 or drupal6 , ok?
[06:13] <b00m_chef> hmm
[06:13] <chazz> rww, damn. They seem quite useful
[06:14] <okra> has anyone been able to get ubuntu working on a gateway all in one pc?
[06:15] <aegis> PresuntoRJ, will do...
[06:18] <okra> I haven't even been able to get passed the Try Ubuntu Without Installing option... hit enter.. screen goes black... never to be seen again.
[06:18] <okra> past*
[06:19] <okra> same with Install Ubuntu option.
[06:20] <uRock> okra when the LiveCD first starts to boot, tap the space bar until you get the main menu and select to test the cd image. Also, if you have an intel gpu you may have to use the safe graphics mode
[06:20] <okra> it is indeed intel
[06:23] <CppIsWeird> is there a utility that allows you to modify how intel's speedstep i7's work?
[06:24] <thune3> okra: see workaround A -- From the LiveCD in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes  (i'm assuming you have 8xx series chipset)
[06:24] <codeprime> how do you rip all tracks from DVD with acidrip?
[06:24] <codeprime> it only lets me rip one at a time
[06:29] <zetheroo1> I am trying to install a package and am getting this error: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java7-jre ( )|sun-java6-jre ( )|jre (>= 1.6.0)
[06:29] <zetheroo1> does this mean I have to install the closed source Java packages?
[06:29] <Doyle> zetheroo1: are you using the synaptic package manager?
[06:30] <zetheroo1> Doyle: package installer
[06:30] <fishcooker> i've tried ubuntu liveusb...
[06:30] <fishcooker> how to make it persistent when i tried another box?!
[06:31] <Doyle> zetheroo1: it typically finds and installs all dependancies by its self. You can install them on your own, then try the app you wanted again.
[06:31] <Doyle> fishcooker: here ya go   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[06:31] <zetheroo1> Doyle: yes, well it's not installing the dependencies this time because they are no longer present in the default Lucid repos, afaik
[06:32] <cyberjunk502> i need some help
[06:32] <Chr|s> Cyber_Akuma: have to be more descriptive
[06:32] <valbaca> !ask | cyberjunk502
[06:33] <DoubleString> hey all
[06:33] <Untouchab1e> Hi all.. quick question
[06:34] <ldiamond> how do I suspend a server (S3) from CLI?
[06:34] <Untouchab1e> Running Ubuntu 10.04 and wanting to try out Gnome 3 (Gnome-Shell?). Ive gathered that all that is required is a sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and then a gnome-shell-replace
[06:34] <Untouchab1e> but what if I want to go back to Gnome 2.3?
[06:34] <fishcooker> thanks doyle 4 quick response, i read it first before asking again :D
[06:35] <cyberjunk502> i want to change my home directory to another partition is that possible with reinstalling
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Untouchab1e: I believe its: gnome-shell --replace
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: I'd just move the folder in root recovery console then symlink
[06:36] <Doyle> zetheroo1:  have a look at this, it may help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466184
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: or you could copy the data then mount the partition as /home
[06:36] <cyberjunk502> i want to change my home mount point to another partition is that possible with reinstalling linux
[06:36] <Untouchab1e> ActionParsnip: thanks
[06:36] <zetheroo1> Doyle: thanks, I found the command to enable the partner repository with java6 ;)
[06:36] <Doyle> zetheroo1: cool
[06:36] <shadow420> !server
[06:36] <DontKnow17898> ubottu has been kicked automaticly by  -No_One ScripT-
[06:37] <AlbertoP> cyberjunk502: yes it is possible. a) move /home there with its content b) edit fstab to point to the new place
[06:37] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: how to mount the partition as /home
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: you'll need to move the data to another place too or the data will be stored twice. Mounting only replaces the visible data
[06:37] <okra> thune3, no luck there tried. the i915.modeset=1
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: you'll need a new entry in /etc/fstab for it
[06:37] <Chr|s> DontKnow17898: Not cool to play around.
[06:38] <PresuntoRJ> ldiamond: I believe there is a script in /etc/acpi called sleep that does the trick
[06:38] <AlbertoP> cyberjunk502: little care... pay attention to move also the hidden directories of your home
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> !cookie
[06:38] <Doyle> fishcooker: so you've gotten ubuntu to boot from usb, but it doesn't save your work to the key?
[06:38] <shadow420> I need help with an old dell poweredge 2300 I am trying to instaLL UBUNTU LINUC ON IT
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> Hehe she's still here
[06:38] <PresuntoRJ> ldiamond: I am not sure if it depends on gnome and dbus, though
[06:39] <shawnboy> When you click on pic in Firefox and make it desktop background, where is that file stored?
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> shadow420: linux, not linuc
[06:39] <fishcooker> yip2 doyle
[06:39] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: Its says i don't have the permission to do so even if i had open it as root
[06:39] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: should i log in as root
[06:39] <shadow420> ActionParsnip sorry about that
[06:39] <fishcooker> that's true... i've got the ubuntu run from usb
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> !fstab | cyberjunk502
[06:40] <fishcooker> the thing i want after i apt-get install 'sth' i got it persistent on my usb
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> shadow420: what's your issue?
[06:40] <fishcooker> is there any option
[06:40] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: how to copy the content of home directory
[06:41] <Bam_Bam> I'm trying to start OpenVPN from terminal. I have the configuration file in /etc/openvpn and it automatically connects but I'm not able to establish any connections, whereas if I use the network-manager-openvpn GUI it connects no problem. Same certs / keys.
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: you need to boot to a different usb to install to another usb (or boot cd to install) if you transferred the iso then it uses a compressed file so changes don't stick
[06:41] <fishcooker> Doyle !?
[06:41] <Bam_Bam> Is there something more that the GUI does?
[06:41] <Doyle> fishcooker: ah, so your installs dont stick... just asec
[06:41] <uRock> the GUI does everything
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> cyberjunk502: mount the destination as writable and copy the data over
[06:42] <Doyle> there ya go. Thanks ActionParsnip ... I was just about to over-think it
[06:42] <shadow420> I am trying to get the server see a scsi cdrom drive
[06:42] <cyberjunk502> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[06:43] <fishcooker> actionParsnip i don't get your point wold you plz explain to me again more slowly :D
[06:43]  * uRock is getting sleep... c-ya tomorrow peoples.
[06:43] <insign> Hello, i need a generic help. I want link subdomain.mysite.com to an other server out of the server of mysite.com, on dns config, ill use NS or CNAME param? So that the same files from the main site are available in the subdomain.
[06:43] <okra> hmm
[06:44] <Doyle> Bam_Bam: look at the log file, you'll probably see something about it not being able to load a conf or crt (i think) file.
[06:44] <Doyle> Bam_Bam: try running it with sudo... that's all the suggestion I can offer. Sorry
[06:44] <shawnboy> Anyone know where mozilla keeps desktop background images?**
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> fishcooker: the packages you run are in a big tar.gz file, as they are needed they are extracted and used. When you install stuff in the live environment it only applys to the ram drive. If you install to the usb instead of transferring the iso, it will act like a platter based drive and updates will stick
[06:45] <spyk3> ok now maybe i have done this right
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: I believe its $HOME/Pictures but I haven't used firefox for years
[06:46] <spyk3> i have a dell inspiron 2200 when i installed ubuntu i can't get my wireless drives to work
[06:46] <spyk3> it doesn't see my network
[06:46] <spyk3> ethernet works good
[06:46] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: what do you use?
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: chromium daily and arora
[06:47] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: darn. HOME/pictures isn't it.
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: one line will identify the wireless
[06:47] <shadow420> I am trying get an old dell poweredge up and running but it's not seeing a scsi cd-rom drive
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: if you get the filename of the image you could search $HOME for the filename
[06:48] <shadow420> its an old scsi setup
[06:48] <fishcooker> doyle actionparsnip thanks again... is there any pointer to do your option?!
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> shadow420: does it show in the output of: sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive
[06:48] <spyk3> im not sure i will have to reinstall ubuntu i just didnt know if there was an easy way or something first time linux user
[06:48] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: that's part of my problem. I don't know the filename because I came across web pic and chose "make background" now I want to know image file.
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: well, no. If it doesn't work now. A reinstall will put you in the same place
[06:49] <shadow420> the server itself is not seeing the cd rom
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: could check your history for something that smells right
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: could also ask in the mozilla irc channel
[06:49] <spyk3> its on my laptop and im on my desktop
[06:50] <spyk3> i reinstalled windows when i couldnt get wireless to work with my laptop
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: well its only a single line, you can read and type the chip name into websearches
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: obv makesure the killswitch is set so the wireless chip is enabled
[06:50] <spyk3> so basically when i get ubuntu back on do i type that sudo lshw etc into terminal?
[06:51] <spyk3> complete newb at linux
[06:51] <Doyle> fishcooker: just boot from CD/DVD, then install the OS to your usb key. Be careful not to select your hard drive
[06:51] <shawnboy> I think I found it by looking at HOME/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml
[06:51] <okra> thune3, ahh that link is misleading.. its not modeset=1 its modeset=0 ;)
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: yes and you'll see the chip. If wired works i'd advise you use a wired connection and get updated. The driver may simply be offered to you
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: sounds likely
[06:52] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: I think it's in HOME/Firefox_wallpaper.png
[06:52] <spyk3> ActionParsnip, how do i update
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> spyk3: use software centre etc
[06:52] <shawnboy> yeah, ActionParsnip that's where it is.
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> shawnboy: cool, get it opened and see :)
[06:53] <shawnboy> ActionParsnip: just a little nosing around is all it took. Thanks though for responding to my question.
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> No problems fellah
[06:56] <fishcooker> doyle thanks lucky there a 2 usb on my hand... ic ic your point rite now actionparsnip
[06:57] <Doyle> beauty
[06:57] <Doyle> I can't wait to replace this laptop. I'vebeen putting it off till one with usb3 comes out that I like...
[06:57] <Doyle> USB3 keys here I come!
[06:58] <mcc> is there a quick way to get a list of all files on a system owned by a particular user?
[06:58] <mcc> about to run deluser --remove-all-files, want to mkae sure this isn't a mistake
[06:59] <zetheroo1> is there a gui for vnc?
[06:59] <dougb_freebsd> it's not "quick," but 'sudo find / -user foo' will do it
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  a gui to do what?
[07:01] <zetheroo1> I am looking for an alternative to Yuuguu and Teamviewer ... anyone know of anything?
[07:01] <thune3> okra: if 0 is the option that works for you, i think you may not have 8xx graphics. please check "lspci | grep VGA"
[07:01] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: remote desktop access
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  yes.. i know what vnc does.. what sort of gui are you really needing it for? you connect to an ip. and thats about it..
[07:01] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: afaik with VNC it's anything but simple
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  i found it rather simple
[07:02] <zetheroo1> :)
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> you run the vncserver in read only mode. and let others connect.
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> over the Internet however - it can be sluggish.
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> FreeNX can be much faster
[07:02] <Dr_Willis> but freenx is also a bit more complex to setup.
[07:03] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: that is what I need it for ... accessing computers all over the place
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> For best preformance - see freenx or some of the nx variants.
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  personally i just ssh in to the remote box's and run what apps i need
[07:03] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: so there is nothing like Teamviewer that just basically "works out-of-the-box" ...
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> gnomes built in vncserver works out of the box.. but it has its own limitations.
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> ssh -X remotebox    works :)
[07:04] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: I mean mainly working out-of-the-box for the other person
[07:04] <ikey> not secure though Dr_Willis..
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> Ive no idea what features TeamViewer has comparesd to other machines
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> Shareing a Desktop that has compiz running can also cause 'issues' i recall.
[07:05] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: with Teamviewer you just install it and give the remote individual the pin ... he puts it in the program on his side and accesses your system ... no setup needed at either end
[07:05] <fishcooker> dr_willis zetherool visit nomachine.com
[07:05] <fishcooker> there is varian freenx there
[07:05] <ikey> Dr_Willis, a few  X extensions cause issues with it tbh.
[07:05] <zetheroo1> Teamviewer is also for Mac, Windows and Linux ...
[07:05] <ikey> Not just composite
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  he enters the pin in what exactly?  he has to install somthing to access the teamviewer box dont he
[07:06] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: yes ... both sides install the app
[07:06] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: if I want to access your system I get your pin and put it into my app ...
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> so its getting the actual connection info from some master server?   via the pin?
[07:07] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: yes ... I suppose it's all running through another server somewhere
[07:07] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: Yuuguu is much like Skype ... but with "Screen Sharing"
[07:08] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: and it also is for Mac, Windows and Linux
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> then why dont you use it? what did i miss. :)
[07:08] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: the reason I use these apps is because the person I am helping does not have to be tech-savvy to use them ....
[07:09] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: but at the same time I would rather use something free and open source if it were available
[07:09] <zetheroo1> but I am prepared to be told there is nothing quite like it ;)
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> vnc and NX are more 'general' tools - is the reason they are not 2 clicks and they are done.
[07:09] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: ok
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> vnc and nx can do what you want. but they will take more setup. because they have different design goals.
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> then can also do 100x more then what you want. :)
[07:10] <suigeneris> hey
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> Most apps have webuis so vnc often isn't needed :)
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> Hi suigeneris
[07:11] <suigeneris> is there a simple way to show codec info of a video file?
[07:11]  * suigeneris waves to ogunay 
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: I believe mencoder can show that
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> suigeneris:  ffpobe can give info also.
[07:11] <Dr_Willis> suigeneris:  or right click on a video , properties and check the tabs
[07:12] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: but why is it sluggish over the Internet?
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> gnome file manager can give a lot of info.. but im not sure if thats a default feature. or if extra packages are needed
[07:12] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: I have heard that from several ppl
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  vnc is a rather old protocall and shares the whole desktpp as a series of images (basically)
[07:12] <Dr_Willis> it was designed for lan ussage and quick connections. and not super complex desktops
[07:13] <coldhak> lxde appears to be forcing the default panel to be stuck to the bottom of the screen. is this a bug, or a 'feature'?
[07:13] <coldhak> any way to fix it?
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  You may want to ask in #lubuntu
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: it can be moved to the top (I believe)
[07:13] <coldhak> indeed, but there's so few in there, i doubt my question would be answered.
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  thers always the lxde homepage/docs  - theres so few people in here that use Lxde it may not get answered in here.
[07:14] <coldhak> ActionParsnip, it has the option in the panel config menu, but it glitches back to the bottom.
[07:14] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: I take it the vnc protocol is gpl !?
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> Saw where Lubuntu is getting pushed back and is not going to be an 'official' variant in 10.10 either.
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  yes - has been for years. befor nx or these other tools even existed
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> One reason for its quirks. It was sort of the first.. (sort of) and the others learned from its limitions
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: right click panel -> panel settings -> geometry tab
[07:15] <coldhak> yes. it glitches back to the bottom.
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: the setting should be saved in your configs. Make sure you are the owner of you $HOME
[07:16] <zetheroo1> Dr_Willis: are there other gpl protocols? nx?
[07:16] <viki> hello ubuntu ppl
[07:16] <coldhak> ...is it possible to not be the owner of $HOME?
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: otherwise I would log a bug
[07:16] <coldhak> how do I check this?
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo1:  FreeNX is the gpl variant of NX i belive.
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  if you accidently run some apps as root.. you can mess up permissions in your users HOME - yes.
[07:17] <Doyle> coldhak: it's called a mortgage
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: you could have ran a gui app with sudo and garbaged the ownership, a few files may be affected and cause issues
[07:17] <CppIsWeird> any utilities to control the cooling of laptops?
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Doyle: nice :)
[07:17] <viki> Dr_Willis: NeatX is googles variant of freenx, also gpl and newer
[07:17] <coldhak> the only gui app i've run with sudo is synaptic
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo1: why are you using vnc? What do you do in the vnc session?
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> viki:  yep. ive gotten the nx stuff working.. but itsa a little confuseing..
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: don't!
[07:18] <viki> :)
[07:18] <coldhak> but still, how do I check that?
[07:18] <Doyle> ouch
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: sudo is not to be used with gui apps. Use gksudo
[07:18] <viki> btw im wondering if anyone could help me with bash logging issues
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  ls -al /home/ and  ls -al in your home dir to see ownership/permissions
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: run: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
[07:19] <zetheroo1> ActionParsnip: I am not using it
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo1: ok cool
[07:19] <zetheroo1> ActionParsnip: I was looking to find an alternative to other tools I was using ...
[07:19] <mobasher> viki> what's the issue ??
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo | coldhak
[07:19] <ikey> Coz you break xauthority.
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: if you are the owner of all of home and it still happens you should log a bug. The guys in #lubuntu may be able to help
[07:21] <coldhak> ok, i'll ask them then
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> coldhak: and maybe even in #lxde
[07:21] <mcc> hello... i am having some odd problems... i am trying to install mysql-server and it keeps failing. i've purged and reinstalled several times now. i always get to a point where if i say service mysql start i get an error in daemon.log saying: "mysql pre-start process (29460) terminated with status 1"
[07:21] <mcc> or some pid
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> Although #lxde has 14 users in
[07:22] <mcc> looking on google I see many people with similar problems but none of their fixes worked for me.
[07:22] <mcc> is there any way to find some kind of log that explains where and why this "pre-start process" failed?
[07:22] <Doyle> mcc: what version?
[07:22] <coldhak> #lubuntu isn't much better. I may just go back to fluxbox.
[07:23] <Doyle> I've had the issue with 5.1
[07:23] <mcc> Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[07:23] <mcc> and it's mysql 5.1, yes
[07:23] <mcc> do you think it would be easier if i used mysql 4?
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  check  the docs at the lxde homepage. it very well could be they got the panel locked to the bottom for some reason.
[07:23] <ikey> coldhak, Plain OpenBox is nice.. just stick your own panel in
[07:23] <mcc> it appears there are a really enormous number of ways that mysql "pre-start "script can fail
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> coldhak:  the panel is handled by lxpanel program i recall.  You could roll your own desktop and use fluxvbox and lxpanel.
[07:24] <dougb_freebsd> tint2 works well with plan openbox
[07:24] <dougb_freebsd> I use that for my freebsd configuration
[07:24] <ikey> or even bmpanel
[07:24] <Doyle> mcc: does my.cnf exist for you?
[07:25] <mcc> ...hm.
[07:25] <mcc> actually, this time it doesn't.
[07:25] <Doyle> mcc do a "locate my.cnf" in the terminal
[07:25] <Doyle> ok,  you need to put it in. It's easy... I'll give you a link
[07:25] <mcc> i've purged and reinstalled about four times now... every other time /etc/my.cnf made it in, this time it didn't
[07:25] <Doyle> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/573318/+attachment/1394782/+files/my.cnf
[07:26]  * mcc nods... let me handle that and come back
[07:26] <Doyle> that's the default my.cnf, save it in /etc/mysql/
[07:26] <extraclassic> dougb_freebsd: do you know how to have multiple boxes in the tint2 panel for your desktops, like in crunchbang
[07:26] <mcc> i was at a point like a half hour ago though that i had that exact my.cnf file in place and it was failing for some other reason, though
[07:26] <dougb_freebsd> I don't know what crunchbang is, but tint2 is highly configurable
[07:26] <Doyle> mcc: try it again to be sure. We'll run down your issue
[07:27] <mcc> thanks. one minute
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> dougb_freebsd:  a ubuntu spinoff that basically just has openbox
[07:27] <ikey> 9.04 anyway
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> or was it fluxbox.. or some XXXXXbox
[07:27] <ikey> Dr_Willis, OpenBox
[07:27] <dougb_freebsd> ok, then why not just run crunchbang? :)
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> Openbox
[07:27] <ikey> Dr_Willis, Latest CrunchBang uses Debian.
[07:27] <ikey> fwiw.
[07:27] <mcc> by the way, just out of curiosity, how do you restart "apparmor"?
[07:28] <Doyle> Oooooo, tint2 is beautiful... I love the stuff I hear about when I'm here
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> dougb_freebsd: its not supported here but you can make an equiv using ubuntu and get support here
[07:28] <ikey> Doyle, bmpanel aint shabby either. few nice themes on deviantArt you could tweak
[07:28] <extraclassic> dougb_freebsd: crunchbang is based on ubuntu, but uses openbox...I'm using arch though for more up-to-date softwrea
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> ikey: ahhh they moved to debian. Nice
[07:28] <ikey> ActionParsnip, Statler is Debian base. Last Ubuntu base was 9.04
[07:29] <dougb_freebsd> Doyle: I'm very fond of tint2, it's small but very featureful, and you can do very nifty things with it
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> ikey: gotcha. Lubuntu all the way here :)
[07:29]  * Dr_Willis looks back on all the linux variants... and the
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> graveyard of dead disrtos...
[07:29] <retco> what is the flag to see the file permissions with ls?
[07:29] <Doyle> Thanks ikey dougb_freebsd
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> retco:  -L or was it -l
[07:29] <ikey> ls -l
[07:29] <retco> ah thanks
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> L as in List..
[07:30] <ikey> Doyle, np
[07:30] <groken> if someone used mount --bind to mount the /proc dir, how can i locate the original source of the folder that is now bound to /proc?
[07:30] <Doyle> retco: if you're ever in doubt and no one's around you cna use "man ls" which will bring up the manual
[07:30] <retco> yeah i would've guessed v as in verbose
[07:30] <ikey> groken, check output of 'mount' by itself?
[07:30] <retco> but that's unix for you
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> retco:  verbose is for logging type messaghes..
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> so -v makes no sence.. or  for version
[07:30] <retco> well I went over ls --help but I couldn't see it
[07:30] <dougb_freebsd> Doyle: here is my rc file: http://dougbarton.us/tint2rc.txt
[07:31] <ikey> Dr_Willis, Its not the distro graveyard you should be looking at. Check out the newcomers :)
[07:31] <retco> verbose is for any output to be more verbose
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> retco:  alias la='ls -al'    is a common alias
[07:31] <retco> it makes more sense than "list" if you ask me :P
[07:31] <ikey> list, as in "full listing"
[07:31] <Doyle> dougb_freebsd: saved. That's going to save me a lot of time. Can't wait to play with it
[07:31] <ikey> but yeah I see your point retco. list list.
[07:32] <retco> hmm, everything readable. DAMN why can't it open the files.
[07:32] <dougb_freebsd> Doyle: for the transparency to work you need something like hsetroot in order to get a background, or if you're really adventurous something like xcompmgr
[07:32] <sinman> K i had figure out how to get the grub menu showing with a background with just one linux OS install, now I had search over and over, and came up empty handed, How do I change the ubuntu with the 5 dots from the start and shut down screen
[07:33] <ikey> sinman, that'd mean changing the plymouth theme.
[07:33] <ikey> which I have no clue about :)
[07:33]  * ikey finds plymouth to be an instable technology in its infancy
[07:33] <sinman> ikey : k, then I'll do a search about plymouth themes then
[07:34] <ikey> kk
[07:34] <mcc> doyle: ok... somewhat to my alarm, this time when i replaced my.cnf in /etc/mysql and ran sudo service mysql start, service just hangs
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> Plymouth really should have a trivially easy way to disable it.. :)
[07:34] <ikey> Yeah but Plymouth is too deeply rooted into Ubuntu..
[07:34] <Doyle> dougb_freebsd: thanks again... i'm a trailblaizer so I'll check out xcompmgr
[07:34] <dougb_freebsd> glad to help, good luck :)
[07:35] <ikey> Doyle, CrunchBang maintain their own fork of xcompmgr which is supposedly superior.
[07:35] <Doyle> mcc: and when you kill it and try again?
[07:35] <sinman> does anyone else knows how i can change these in plymouth?
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> eyecandy should always have an off switch. :) I can turn it off now.. but its a bit of a hack.
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> sinman:  theres some alterantive plymouth themes in the repos. and other places
[07:35] <Chr|s> How can I change the login screen? I am unable to do so. I don't care for the purple color
[07:35] <Doyle> ikey: pfft, everyone says their stuff is superior... but I'll give that one a try also
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  if you dont like the wallpaper. find the image and change it. Or use that 'gdm2setup' proigram to tweak it.
[07:36] <ikey> Doyle, It is pretty good tbh. xcompmgr was only intended as a demonstration composite manager.
[07:36] <Doyle> ikey: linux mint says their ubuntu is more ubuntu than ubuntu... it's not
[07:36] <ikey> Doyle, No they dont..
[07:37] <ikey> Got it all wrong there..
[07:37] <Chr|s> Dr_Willis: I have tried to change it, also tried that program. Each time I tried, it freezes on me.
[07:37] <jhattara> is there a way for a script to check if the computer needs a restart to apply updates ?
[07:37] <mcc> doyle: whenever it starts or stops i seem to be geting three lines: "main process terminated with status 1", "main process ended, respawning" and "mysql post-start process (29984) terminated with status 1". every time i start it seems to print these three lines to daemon.log endlessly
[07:37] <mcc> however if i stop and start a lot service mysql start never exits on its own
[07:37] <retco> awh shit it's windows paths!
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  editing the wallpaper is rather trivial. find the original one in /usr/share  and back it up. copy yoru new one over the old  :)
[07:38] <retco> is there a shell that can handle backslashes?
[07:38] <rww> retco: watch your language, please
[07:38] <Doyle> I've been in their channel a few times for help with mint when I had it over the last year, but I dind't like the atmosphere
[07:38] <sometux> I want to migrate my script from twitter basic auth to OAuth, HOW?!
[07:38] <retco> hmm sorry
[07:38] <ikey> Doyle, LM isnt just about the underlying system, it appreciates the base and uses it to the full potential. And fwiw theres a debian version too.
[07:38] <ikey> Also if you'd been in the channel i'd have seen you.

[07:38] <Chr|s> Dr_Willis: so basically rename the new wallpaper I want the same as the original?
[07:39] <Doyle> mcc: hmmm
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  thats the simple way to change it.
[07:39] <mcc> so this is the exact error i'm getting : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/613032 i should mention, when i purge and reinstall, it fails to set up the root password and prints an error about ./mysql/user.frm
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  ive seen scripts that set it to be whatever wallpaper the user selects automatically also
[07:39] <Doyle> mcc: ok brb
[07:39] <retco> I just tried rendering an lxs I saved under windows on linux
[07:39] <Chr|s> Wished that was never changed in the newer version
[07:39] <Chr|s> ahh well, thanks :)
[07:39] <retco> and I have the assumption that it can't find the file because the paths have backslashes in them
[07:40] <retco> Is that correct?
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  the GDM theme is so critical? :) thats amuseing..
[07:41] <Dr_Willis>  the original wallpaper i think is /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png   (for some odd reason)
[07:41] <dougb_freebsd> retco: if you're accessing files from unix you don't use backslashes, use forward slashes
[07:41] <dougb_freebsd> and be sure to escape any spaces
[07:41] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: is that the crap stained carpet?
[07:41] <retco> yeah well the exporter does the paths
[07:41] <retco> will windows handle forward slashes?
[07:42] <Chr|s> Dr_Willis: To me it is, no reason to change something that has worked in the previous release. Should be able to change the login screen flawlessly instead of having to rename another picture the same as the original.
[07:42] <retco> appears it will
[07:42] <retco> ugh I hate operating system
[07:42] <retco> *s
[07:42] <mcc> should the mysql user be a member of the root group?
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:   go read up on the changes with gdm2 vs gdm1  -  gdm2  will have more features.. eventually.
[07:43] <retco> Luxrender should handle this differently
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> Chr|s:  if you really want - you can install the old gdm.
[07:43] <sometux> Does anyone know how to migrate a shell script from "Twitter basic auth" --> "OAuth"?
[07:43] <retco> heck, luxblend shouldn't export backslashes
[07:43] <Blue1> retco: things break:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/565757
[07:43] <Chr|s> Dr_Willis: thanks
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> I always just edit the wallpaper to a solid blue color. and thats about it for my GDM tweaking
[07:44] <dougb_freebsd> sometux: isn't that something you should be able to find on twitter's web site? Not really on topic here
[07:44] <retco> oh damn wrong channel
[07:44] <retco> I mean
[07:44] <retco> oh snap
[07:45] <retco> ugh now how am I gonna fix this crap
[07:45] <ipunk> how to unmount?
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> sudo umount /media/whatever
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> ipunk:  umount what exactly?
[07:45] <ipunk> and iso mounted to a directory
[07:45] <undead> hi to all
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> ipunk:  sudo umount /media/whatever
[07:46] <roscogruen> what is ubuntu chat channel
[07:46] <roscogruen> ?
[07:47] <SwedeMike> roscogruen: #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:47] <rww> roscogruen: for non-support chat? #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:47] <roscogruen> kewl.  thanks SwedeMike & rww
[07:48] <Doyle> mcc: just for fun, tell me what's running when you do a 'ps -e | grep sql'
[07:48] <ipunk> now how to mount ???
[07:48] <mcc> doyle: atm nothing
[07:49] <n00by> there's a 2.5gb zip file I need to download, but my connection is not good, so with browser it will take 3 days, and I can't have my PC switched on for 3 days...so what shall I do?
[07:50] <mcc> i'm right now trying to run a program called "mysql_install_db"
[07:50] <SwedeMike> n00by: wget can resume downloads if you tell it to.
[07:50] <n00by> SwedeMike: well, it's not a direct link download, I mean you have to go to that link, it asks for username and password, feed in, and then download, so it's possible with wget ?
[07:50] <mobasher> n00by>> is the file available in torrent format ?
[07:50] <SwedeMike> n00by: I don't know.
[07:50] <mcc> it gives me anunusual error message that stats with "examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information"
[07:50] <mcc> but no such logs exist
[07:50] <n00by> no idea mobasher
[07:51] <n00by> it's a feed provided by apple for it's ipad and iphone apps
[07:51] <mcc> this a little bit makes me wonder if ther eis some kind of problem with the /var/lib/mysql dir permissions that is blocking log files and such from being created
[07:51] <mobasher> n00by>> well it should say there ? check
[07:51] <n00by> mobasher: one sec
[07:51] <mcc> are you trying to download the iphone sdk?
[07:51] <Doyle> mcc: ok, do a tail on /var/log/daemon.log and try to start the service again while watching the tail
[07:52] <Doyle> mcc: you should only see a few lines pop up
[07:52] <n00by> mobasher: NO
[07:53] <mcc> doyle: okay.. "start the service" how exactly? sudo service mysql start?
[07:53] <ipunk> now how do improve the sound qulity from my laptop because on some songs ir teally sounds very bad?
[07:53] <SwedeMike> n00by: tell the people who are hosting the file that you have this problem and ask them to split it up in smaller parts.
[07:53] <n00by> SwedeMike: it's a zip file itself
[07:53] <mcc> does this channel have a pastebot
[07:53] <n00by> I don't think they would do it, they are APPLE INC. :P
[07:53] <mcc> or can someone recommend one
[07:54] <n00by> SwedeMike: also files in them I saw are 1gb huge
[07:54] <Sarvesh_ji> hi all.. i need to mount an external HDD (USB/firewire interface ) on my ubuntu 10.4 workstation
[07:54] <n00by> so no solution for this ?
[07:54] <th0r> !pastebin
[07:54] <boywonder> can anyone help out with usb boot for gparted?
[07:54] <SwedeMike> n00by: zip files can be split.
[07:55] <n00by> SwedeMike: well, but tell me one thing
[07:55] <Doyle> mcc: ok do a 'tail -F /var/log/daemon.log' and start the service as you've been doing... I assume /etc/init.d/mysql start
[07:55] <n00by> to reach that url kget or wget would need username and password to feed in, can they do this ?
[07:55] <Doyle> mcc:  yea, pastebin is good
[07:55] <ipunk> now how do improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs ir really sounds very bad?
[07:56] <SwedeMike> n00by: it depends on the authentication method.
[07:56] <n00by> SwedeMike: please explain
[07:56] <SwedeMike> n00by: just look at the man page, wget can do basic http authentication, the one that pops up in your browser. If it's something else, then it can't.
[07:57] <n00by> yeah, that pops in the browser heh
[07:57] <mobasher> n00by>> try Aria download manager
[07:57] <SwedeMike> n00by: then just try it.
[07:57] <n00by> wget is a command line tool heh, some GUI tool ?
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> wget has GUI front ends also
[07:57] <mobasher> n00by>> Aria
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> theres also other download managers.
[07:57] <n00by> mobasher: is that better ?
[07:58] <mcc> doyle: http://pastebin.com/dCWbNwRs
[07:58] <mobasher> n00by>> sudo apt-get install aria
[07:58] <n00by> ok mobasher, installing wait
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> boywonder:  clarify your question to the channel.
[07:58] <n00by> mobasher: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package aria
[07:59] <Doyle> mcc: ah, that's right, they want us to use the service command now... ok brb
[07:59] <mobasher> n00by>> read PM
[07:59] <n00by> mobasher: you too :P
[07:59] <mcc> but service doesn't appear to do anything /etc/init doesn't.
[07:59] <mcc> i'm really concerned about this user.frm problem. every time i try to install it says it failed to create user.frm.
[08:00] <mcc> but it is confusing because from looking at google there seem to be a very large number of problems that generate the same two or three error messages...
[08:01] <Doyle> mcc: ok, look in '/etc/mysql/conf.d' for a link to '/home/user/my.cnf'
[08:01] <ipunk> how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs ir really sounds very bad?
[08:01] <Doyle> ipunk: plugin external speakers
[08:02] <ipunk> yeah i has a hifi pconnected to my laptop
[08:02] <Sarvesh_ji> hi all.. i need to mount an external HDD (USB/firewire interface ) on my ubuntu 10.4 workstation
[08:02] <Sarvesh_ji> pls help
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> Sarvesh_ji:  Pluyg it in and it 'should' auto mount
[08:02] <mcc> doyle, the only thing in that folder is a file named "mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf"
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> Sarvesh_ji:  if not - try mounting it by hand with the proper 'sudo mount /dev/whatever /media/PICKAPLACE' command
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> !mount | Sarvesh_ji
[08:04] <Doyle> mcc: does 'locate my.cnf' return anything other than /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[08:04] <Doyle> ?
[08:04] <mcc> doyle: find / -name my.cnf returns only /etc/mysql/my.cnf and a backup in my home dir
[08:07] <Doyle> mcc: did you install mysql from the synaptic package manager?
[08:07] <Sarvesh_ji> Dr_Willis : local mounting is not a problem ... but I want to use it from other system in my network... hence thought of nfs mount it
[08:07] <ipunk> how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs ir really sounds very bad?
[08:09] <mcc> doyle, i installed it via "aptitude"
[08:09] <mcc> and as mentioned i've tried purging / reinstalling it several times. i think what might have happened, one of the times i tried to install it i ran out of space on the disk and something got messed up that uninstalling did not fix. but i don't know.
[08:10] <mcc> my purging procedure is to purge, deluser and --delete-all-files the mysql user, then delete all files/dirs with mysql in the name
[08:10] <Doyle> mcc: ok, purge it. Use synaptic package manager and search for 'mysql-server' you'll see one with the version 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6, install that. Apparently this version has resolved the issue you're experiencing
[08:11] <mcc> doyle: okay... sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is synaptic package manager?
[08:11] <mcc> this is like a gui dpkg or something?
[08:11] <Doyle> mcc... I had this issue almost 2 months ago. I did everything then one dya the issue went away... they must have snuk in an update I didn't notice
[08:11] <n00by> using kget, shows Status - Delayed, then it shows Status - Connecting... then again Status - Delayed, does that means it cannot authenticate ?
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> Sarvesh_ji:  you can set up NFS or samba. you will need to set the proper permissions on the decvice when you mount it - to be able to share it.
[08:11] <Doyle> mcc: teh package manager can be found under the System menu, and under Administration
[08:12] <mcc> doyle, there is no gui on this machine and i can't really get one on
[08:12] <Doyle> mcc: it's a gui to allow you to search for and install software. It handles all requirements and dependancies
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> Sarvesh_ji:  if the remote box is a linux machine. It could use sshfs to access the device. or winscp if its a windows box.   This may be easier to setup
[08:12] <n00by> Dr_Willis: any idea ?
[08:12] <Doyle> mcc: ok
[08:12] <mcc> do you suppose there's a way to get that information with the command line tools?
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> !info synaptic
[08:13] <kalmosx> I've been searching and trying tutorials.. nothing works. ASUS UL30 webcam upside down :(
[08:13] <kalmosx> anyone have advice? cheese is right-side up, flash is upside down
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  upside down? :) thats.. amuseing..  I tend to turn mine upside down when i Chat.. to annoy people
[08:14] <n00by> Dr_Willis: any help?
[08:14] <n00by> using kget, shows Status - Delayed, then it shows Status - Connecting... then again Status - Delayed, does that means it cannot authenticate ?
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i saw a program that works as a front end to the webcam that can to tricks and effects.. it can rotate.. but it may be a little overkill to use it to just rotate it back.
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  i tend to just use wget from command line.
[08:14] <kalmosx> hm, well i wonder if it will work... only flash is upside down, so i don't know what's up
[08:14] <n00by> Dr_Willis: and you can use resume, pause and so on from the command line itself ?
[08:15] <mcc> so according to this 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6 is the version i have installed
[08:15] <mcc> i got this with dpkg --list | grep mysql
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  wget has options for those yes.
[08:15] <mcc> do you suppose if i just went with mysql 4, the problem would correct itself?
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> n00by:  IF the server supports it
[08:15] <Doyle> mcc: just to confirm you're installing with 'sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1'?
[08:15] <n00by> Dr_Willis: hmm, just used kget doenst works, but thanks!
[08:15] <mcc> i'm installing with sudo aptitude install libdbd-mysql-perl mysql-client mysql-server
[08:15] <mcc> but that's choosing the 5.1 package
[08:15] <Doyle> mcc: have you run sudo apt-get update recently?
[08:16] <mcc> yes, within the last few hours
[08:16] <mcc> and everything is upgraded
[08:16] <kalmosx> perhaps i should install a lens on my webcam to flip the image...
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  this tool (i cant find its name)  sort of works as a middleman - it makes a 2nd fake video device  so the webcam -> program -> device -> program accessing the cam.. sees the fake cam. that can do all sorts of tricks. and even get some programs working that have issues directly accessing the web cam
[08:16] <mast`> would anyone know how to open a gnome-terminal window with more than one tab then telling each tab what process to run? directly from a command line (or a shell script)
[08:17] <Dr_Willis> mast`:  ive seen that asked befor.. i think its possible. but i dont recall how it was done. check gnome-terminal --help perhaps
[08:17] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: this sounds excellent, if only i could find it...
[08:18] <Doyle> mcc: ok, sorry, for aptitude update then. hmmm
[08:18] <mcc> i'm gonna try 4.1. wave a dead chicken
[08:18] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i saw it on the 'pinguy os' ubuntu variant and was playing with it. It let me pipe videos to my webcam. :)
[08:18] <mcc> it just seems so strange that these scripts are failing and the most specific error i can get is "status 1"
[08:19] <Doyle> mcc: would it be ok for you to just use 'sudo tasksel'?
[08:19] <Doyle> it setup a lamp server
[08:19] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: i suppose i'll continue digging in google's archives
[08:19] <mcc> doyle: oh. well, that would work fine, though i'm not very familiar with it
[08:20] <Doyle> mcc: give it a shot, it sets it up as the packages would normally be setup anyway. It's just a quicky way someone setup at some point
[08:20] <mcc> doyle: this looks like it's doing basically the same things i was doing by hand
[08:20] <Doyle> the status 1 error is junk. Programmers. Can't kill em... lol
[08:20] <Doyle> exactly
[08:21] <mcc> ...
[08:21] <mcc> well that's terrifying
[08:21] <Doyle> what is?
[08:21] <mcc> the tasksel thing worked on the first try :O
[08:21] <Doyle> bo ya!
[08:21] <mcc> like, mysqld is running fine now :O
[08:21] <mcc> thank you so much!
[08:21] <Doyle> lol
[08:21] <Doyle> That's now my answer for everything
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  yea. I recall the app was java based (wich suprised me) i dont see it in the PinguyOS listing.. proberly because it was not an app he just apt-get install'ed.. but nstalled by hand. Let me heck my bookmarks
[08:22] <Evo11> morning guys
[08:22] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: thanks a lot :)
[08:22] <Doyle> anytime mcc, that was fun
[08:22] <Evo11> does anyone know of a good program for creating ISO files of movies?
[08:23]  * ikey would say dd but always gets flamed for it
[08:23] <p1oooop1> Evo11: yeah, but I don't think it's for linux...
[08:23] <p1oooop1> stupid windows domination.
[08:23] <Evo11> k lm looking for a linux one tyhough
[08:23] <p1oooop1> Evo11: search up dvdshrink ;)
[08:23] <p1oooop1> haha
[08:23] <Doyle> Evo11: use dd
[08:23] <Evo11> l use that on my windows machine also
[08:24] <undifined> p1oooop1, decss was made on linux ..
[08:24] <Evo11> that is for linux Doyle?
[08:24] <undifined> lol Doyle
[08:24] <ikey> Example: dd if=/dev/dvd of=MY_BACKUP_LEGIT_HONEST.iso
[08:24] <Doyle> Evo11: yes, dd copies information bit for bit from the source to the destination, empty space included
[08:24] <ikey> Technically it should be UDF. but ohwell.
[08:24] <undifined> Evo11, tried K3b or Brasero
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i cant find the name in my bookmarks either. When i Upgraded this box. it may got removed.. I need to reboot the other box to Pinguy to find its name.. but that box is busy for the next 20 min reencoding a video. so it may be a bit. I cant even find it on google.
[08:26] <Evo11> I tried that one undifined but I got the following error: libdvdcss.so.2 (library).
[08:26] <undifined> got dcss ? no :p
[08:27] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: i appreciate your help, thanks
[08:27] <Evo11> no l don't have dcss, but lm installing K3b to try that one
[08:28] <jhattara> if there any way for a script to see if apt wants to restart the system ?
[08:29] <dougb_freebsd> jhattara: if you're that worried about it, just restart
[08:30] <jhattara> dougb_freebsd, i'd like to make an automated script to restart a server in case of kernel upgrade
[08:30] <dougb_freebsd> you shouldn't do automated kernel upgrades
[08:31] <itbcn8> h8
[08:32] <jhattara> dougb_freebsd, would it be better to make a manual timed restart
[08:32] <jhattara> ?
[08:32] <dougb_freebsd> that depends, what are you trying to accomplish?
[08:32] <sinman> how can i delete a file thru the command line?
[08:32] <jhattara> i have a webserver that needs to be restarted in the middle of the night if at all
[08:33] <jhattara> and was just wondering is it possible to let apt control the need for restart
[08:33] <ikonia> sinman: rm
[08:33] <sinman> ikonia : thanxs
[08:33] <dougb_freebsd> updating software on a server without human interaction is a really bad idea
[08:33] <ikonia> jhattara: are you seriously saying free bsd has a better "cron" than Linux ?
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> but if you choose to do it anyway, best of luck to you :)
[08:34] <jhattara> well, i have no physical access to the server around the time the restart has to be done
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> ikonia: I don't see him saying that at all
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> jhattara: who said anything about physical access?
[08:34] <ikonia> dougb_freebsd: no, I've just re-read, my mistake
[08:34] <ikonia> dougb_freebsd: your nick name caused confusion
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> ikonia: no worries :)
[08:34] <dougb_freebsd> someone else on freenode has dougb
[08:35] <dougb_freebsd> and the first time I logged on here I was looking for help on another channel, so I wanted to make it clear who I was
[08:36] <jhattara> what's the difference if i don't have physical access to the server whether the restart is in cron or if i do it with ssh?
[08:37] <dougb_freebsd> jhattara: I'm assuming you have some sort of remote console access since it's a server ... if you don't, you're better off doing it when you have physical access
[08:37] <dougb_freebsd> which is better, to have it down for 10 minutes during the day when you can fix it immediately, or to have it down for 4 hours overnight because you told cron to reboot it and it failed to come back?
[08:38] <jhattara> yeah, i got ssh
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> I have to wonder why a webserver 'needs to be restarted' daily
[08:38] <jhattara> Dr_Willis, who said anything about daily
[08:38] <dougb_freebsd> ssh is not remote console access
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> why else would you want to be automateing it..?
[08:39] <jhattara> well, that's all the access i got to the computer
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> ssh in restart it then.. and hope for the best i guess. if its a one time thing.
[08:39] <dougb_freebsd> jhattara: then don't do software upgrades OR reboots unless you have physical access
[08:39]  * Dr_Willis agrees with dougb_freebsd
[08:39] <dougb_freebsd> Dr_Willis: you missed a whole bunch of the conversation
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> dougb_freebsd:  probnerly. :) been researching info for  some other guy...
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> I need a longer history buffer on my irc client
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> Ive had to many 'remote' box issues.. and the remote headless server is in the next room...
[08:42] <jhattara> dougb_freebsd, so basically you are saying that i shouldn't reboot a system at all if i don't have a primitive access to it?
[08:43] <dougb_freebsd> yes, that's exactly what I'm saying
[08:43] <dougb_freebsd> unless of course it's not a problem if the thing stays off line till you can get to it again
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> why is cron involved.. cant shutdown take a time artument also..
[08:44] <jhattara> Dr_Willis, it can
[08:44] <jhattara> i was just wondering if i could do a fully automated script that would restart only if apt thinks it needs a restart
[08:47] <jhattara> another script i'd like to create is something that would probe the status of various server-daemons and attempt to restart them if they are not functioning properly
[08:48] <dougb_freebsd> there are all sorts of monitoring systems available already ... nagios is probably the easiest place to start
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  the hard to rember name is 'webcamstudio' *doh*
[08:48] <Blue1> dougb_freebsd: I use hobbit
[08:48] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: awesome! i'm going to try it now
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  http://www.ws4gl.org/
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> WebcamStudio For GNU/Linux creates a virtual webcam that can mix several video sources together
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> It has some real neat features. You can broadcast your desktop, then switch to your face. then to a movie, or other source real fast.
[08:49] <kalmosx> this sounds like an awesome tool :D
[08:50] <rileyp> no sound in firefox flashplayer help please
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  one main feaure i recall. it it can get webcams that flash cant 'see' to work with flash.
[08:50] <Blue1> rileyp: 32 bit or 64 bit?
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  the inteface is a little odd.. but not to hard to figure out
[08:51] <rileyp> Blue 1 10.04 lucid 32 bit
[08:51] <rileyp> Blue1 10.04 lucid 32 bit
[08:52] <Blue1> rileyp: okay let me get my netbook brb
[08:52] <rileyp> Blue1 Its an asrock ion front end mythv has sound and xbmc has sound
[08:53] <trijntje> Hi all, how can I fake giving virtualbox a blank CD/DVD?
[08:53] <rileyp> Blue1 and vlc has sound now Ive set it to hdmi in the vlc setings
[08:53] <Blue1> rileyp: please prepend message to me with my nick, thanks.  I am not understanding.  You have no sound at all, or you have no sound with firefox?
[08:54] <rileyp> Blue1 no sound with firefox
[08:55] <Blue1> rileyp: please prepend messages with my nick or I will be unable to help you.
[08:55] <rileyp> Blue1 no sound in firefox only is what I am doing wrong Blue1
[08:56] <funh> is an ssh server pre installed with 10.4?
[08:56] <jussi> funh: no
[08:56] <jussi> funh: sudo apt-get install ssh
[08:56] <Blue1> rileyp: try auto-complete.  try typing in blu then hit the tab key
[08:57] <jussi> funh: the client is, but not the server
[08:57] <rileyp> Blue1,  ok
[08:57] <ipunk> how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs it really sounds very bad?
[08:57] <Blue1> ipunk: use headphones (really)
[08:58] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: this is great! works just as you said
[08:58] <ipunk> the problem is not in the speakers my laptop is connected to a hifi
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  yea. You can stgream a video to your friends and chat with them at the same time
[08:58] <Blue1> rileyp: you should have a file called libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  some of the GUI is odd. and not clear like whats a 'animation' source vs a actual video..
[08:59] <Blue1> rileyp: so let's do a reality check and make sure it's there
[08:59] <ipunk> the problem is that the quality of the sound is very bad sometimes
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  heh. I am now streaming a video. with the weather report on top of it. :)
[08:59] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: dude, sweet
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  whats amuseing.. its a java app.. but its aparently not ported to windows
[09:00] <sreerajc> Hi
[09:00] <rileyp> Blue1,  flash is installed and working just no sound  /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer: Is a directory
[09:00] <Matsy> Hello! :)
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i DO notice that my colors in my videos are wrong. like the red/green/blue are shifted or somthing. BUtg live cam feed is not
[09:01] <rileyp> Blue1,   sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autormove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[09:01] <Blue1> rileyp: correct let's see if the libflashplayer.so is there.
[09:01] <Blue1> rileyp: okay I'm done.
[09:01] <sreerajc> Picasa taking too much time to load why?
[09:02] <sreerajc> How can i install a .sh file?
[09:02] <Matsy> I'm just going to ask a question right away: How do I install a different kernel on Ubuntu? I need 2.6.32.9, apparently. It seems like installing a different kernel is dangerous enough, so I really don't want to screw it up.
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  try using a video file as your source. and see if the colors are correct. This is the 2nd pc now ive seen the colors be wrong
[09:02] <rileyp> Blue1,  flash is working just no sound I need to set my default sound output device to the hdmi port somehow
[09:02] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: will do, just a moment
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> sreerajc:  what is this sh file exactly? it can depend  on what its isntalling
[09:03] <rileyp> Blue1 Me thinks if i plugged in speakers to 1/4 inch jack I would have sound
[09:03] <trijntje> !kernel | Matsy
[09:04] <Matsy> Thanks, haha.
[09:05] <funh> jussi: thank you
[09:05] <jussi> np
[09:07] <Matsy> Hm.
[09:07] <Matsy> When reading this. I have this one question. I don't want to use the kernel. I just need it to compile something. Would this guide still apply?
[09:07] <rileyp> how can I set default audio output to hdmi
[09:08] <rileyp> Im using lucid and get no sound from flashplayer
[09:08] <rileyp> flash works sfine other than no sound. I have sound in mythtv ,vlc and xbmc
[09:08] <sreerajc> Sorry, does anyone know server for English language
[09:09] <rileyp> server is server in english
[09:11] <sreerajc> rileyp, I mean server to learn English
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> Learning English over IRC is sort of like me learning Japaneese by watching ANIME....
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> sreerajc:  you may want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic  they may have some suggestions.
[09:12] <chris_osx> rileyp: do you mean a irc server?
[09:12] <sreerajc> Dr_Willis, k,thnx
[09:13] <chris_osx> sorry i mean sreerajc
[09:13] <rww> sreerajc: try the ##english channel on this server
[09:13] <chris_osx> or learn german
[09:13] <sreerajc> Chr|s, yes
[09:14] <akios> hi, is there a way to get Battlefield bad company 2 running with ubuntu?
[09:15] <Espen-_-> cant get my server to boot
[09:15] <Espen-_-> http://paste.ubuntu.com/489121/
[09:17] <Espen-_-> Have runned fsck, tried different kernels
[09:17] <JoshuaL> try setting your hardware clock?
[09:18] <Espen-_-> looked over my fstab
[09:18] <Espen-_-> JoshuaL: this is a linode. So I dont have access to the hw clock
[09:18] <Espen-_-> But I have opened a ticket with them.
[09:18] <Espen-_-> Cant even do hwclock --show. Returns nothing
[09:18] <om26er> I had nvidia on this system. today I pulled it out and now system does not start
[09:19] <om26er> now I am in failsafe gnome
[09:19] <ikonia> om26er: you'll need to reconfigure your xorg
[09:19] <om26er> ikonia, something like dpkg-reconfigure?
[09:19] <ikonia> om26er: what have you replaced the nvidia card with ?
[09:19] <om26er> ikonia, the built in intel
[09:20] <ikonia> om26er: ok, so you need to edit the xorg.conf file and remove the "driver nvidia" line, or better still, remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let X auto detect it all again
[09:20] <ezrafree> hello
[09:20] <AnxiousNut> morning all!
[09:21]  * om26er reboots
[09:21] <ezrafree> ever since i've updated ubuntu my mx5000 mouse/keyboard combo has been dropping connection after a short while
[09:21] <ezrafree> any ideas?
[09:21] <ipunk> how to improve the sound quality from my laptop because on some songs it really sounds very bad?
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> thats a bluetooth moude ezrafree ?
[09:22] <ezrafree> yes Dr_Willis
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> ipunk:  just some? anything differnt about those? differnt format? type of muzak?
[09:22] <ipunk> no dif style of music thats all
[09:22] <ikonia> oh
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> ezrafree:  never used a BT mouse/keyboard so i cant help.  You may want to check teh forums see if others have same issue
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> ezrafree:  this was a 9.04 -> 10.04 upgrade? or just  a recent 10.04 update?
[09:24] <ipunk> me thinks this is a driver problem
[09:25] <ipunk> the hifi is fine Im playing with the 3.5 mm audio cable its connectteed to my laptop is fine too
[09:25] <ipunk> and I certainly didin't have that bad quality on w7
[09:26] <__good_day_> Hello friends, I am trying to install ubuntu as guest using vmware. I had issue with the installation, after the minimum installtion the setup reboots the guest OS(ubuntu 10.01.1) and then a purple screen appears. After that login prompt comes. What to do now ?
[09:26] <codebrainz> hi.  I've lost the ability in Nautilus to right click and open files (in a text editor for example) and also the option to choose which program the file opens with is gone.  anyone know how to get this back?
[09:28] <codebrainz> __good_day_, pick your username, enter your password and press Enter
[09:28] <om26er> ikonia, now the situation changed. the system does not start directly but if I go to recovery mode sudo gdm starts gdm fine
[09:28] <om26er> with 3d working
[09:28] <ipunk> cmon guys youre telling me that i cant listen songs with more bass on my acer with ubuntu ???
[09:28] <ikonia> om26er: did you do what I told you to do ?
[09:29] <om26er> ikonia, yes deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:29] <__good_day_> codebrainz: login incorrect.
[09:29] <ikonia> om26er: this is ubuntu 10.04 right ?
[09:29] <om26er> ikonia, yes
[09:29] <th0r> I just installed lucid to a dell laptop. The usb mouse was working perfectly until I installed the updates. lsusb shows the mouse properly, but the mouse no longer moves the cursor. I have added 'acpi=force irqpoll' to grub per the forum post, but that didn't help.
[09:29] <ikonia> om26er: ok, so when you start it in normal mode what happens ?
[09:30] <om26er> ikonia, tty
[09:30] <ikonia> om26er: you need to check the Xorg logs then to find out why it's not starting at boot time
[09:30] <om26er> ikonia, then if I enter user name and password and then sudo gdm does not start gdm
[09:30] <codebrainz> __good_day_, did you setup a user during install?
[09:31] <ikonia> om26er: you need to check the logs to see what it's not happy about
[09:31] <om26er> ikonia, where are the logs?
[09:31] <ikonia> om26er: also make %100 certain /etc/X11/Xorg.conf is not there
[09:32] <om26er> yes not there
[09:32] <Jordan_U> ipunk: I'm betting that the files that sound horrible only sound that way because the files are broken. Many players simply ignore gain settings that seem too absurd which is why they would sound normal in other players.
[09:34] <ipunk> i tryed dling the song w\from 3 dif sources
[09:34] <ipunk> and tryed playing it with dif players
[09:34] <svip> lol, all these guides for Ubuntu on a Mac are terrible; none of them mentions how to boot from a CD on a Mac.
[09:34] <ipunk> the song is more electro or techno is the sound quality is ....
[09:34] <chris_osx> svip: press C
[09:34] <pozic> What's the name of the application that shows the network connection?
[09:34] <ikonia> svip: `if you own a mac it should be known
[09:34] <chris_osx> on startup
[09:34] <svip> ikonia: Apparently not for all.
[09:35] <pozic> I also would like to know the name of the container that contains this applet.
[09:35] <pozic> Ah, I think it was nm-applet.
[09:35] <svip> chris_osx: Well, it took me a while to dig that information up.
[09:35] <svip> It wouldn't hurt to include it in the guides; just sayin'.
[09:37] <pozic> Humans are not born with knowledge about either OSX or Ubuntu. Since Ubuntu is for human beings, it should be in the guides or there should be a reference to something which does explain it. Not that I use a Mac.
[09:37] <Jordan_U> ipunk: Could you give an example file that sounds bad?
[09:38] <itbcn8> pozic, you can't find a good install reference for a mac?
[09:41] <Jordan_U> ipunk: Have you tried using mp3gain?
[09:41] <pozic> itbcn8: it was not my problem.
[09:41] <pozic> itbcn8: and I didn't even search.
[09:42] <pozic> itbcn8: I could probably find it, if I wanted it.
[09:42] <ipunk> mp3gain?
[09:42] <Tweaky> anyone know how to turn on usb support? theres no icon for it in the lower right corner. some things i read suggested adding permissions to the vbox user group or something to that effect, but no group named that exists
[09:42] <Tweaky> in virtualbox sorry
[09:42] <RCP> Tweaky Bios
[09:42] <ikonia> Tweaky: the open source virtual box does not have usb support
[09:42] <itbcn8> ya pozic, because they have REALLY detailed step by step instructions, for every macbook make and model
[09:42] <ikonia> Tweaky: only the full version does
[09:43] <Tweaky> oh!
[09:43] <Jordan_U> ipunk: It's a piece of software for modifying an mp3 files gain settings.
[09:43] <Tweaky> so it has to be purchased to have that function?
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> Tweaky:  no - its a free download.
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> Tweaky:  its just differnt then the ones in the repos.
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> !virtualbox
[09:45] <mast`> Dr_Willis: for future reference, opening a new terminal with tabs & processes is done with --tab -e "process1" --tab -e "process 2" :)
[09:45] <Tweaky> so if i get it from the vbox site that one has the support for usb?
[09:45] <Tweaky> nvm u just answered
[09:45] <Jordan_U> ipunk: Make a copy of one of the bad files and try running "mp3gain -a -k /path/to/song.mp3" then play the modified file.
[09:46] <ipunk> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iijrhUzYGPM
[09:46] <ipunk> it sounds bad in youtube too
[09:47] <ipunk> the sound just isn't clean the way it was on w7
[09:47] <Chr|s> !upgrade
[09:47] <ikonia> ipunk: your audio controller may just have a poor kernel module
[09:48] <ipunk> it sounds just fine on w7
[09:48] <ikonia> ipunk: yes but you're not using windows 7, hence why I said it may just have a poor kernel module
[09:48] <ipunk> kernel doesn't say much to me Im afraid ;(
[09:49] <ikonia> ipunk: kernel is basically the linux "driver manager"
[09:49] <ipunk> is there anyway i fix this I have acer 5738 ZG
[09:49] <ikonia> ipunk: what is your audio controller, that's the real question
[09:49] <ipunk> acer aspire 5738zg*
[09:49] <__good_day_> codebrainz: When I configure virtual machine in vmware, I entered username/pass. I tried that and it is working. Thank you. The installation process didnt ask anything performs - installing additional components, network detect, dhcp configration, settingup clock, formatting partition, installing base system.
[09:50] <ipunk> ikonia:  how do I check whats my audio controller?
[09:50] <ikonia> ipunk: check your hardware specs (back in 5 minutes)
[09:50] <__good_day_> codebrainz: I got into linux prompt after login. Its command prompt, how to get graphical screen. do I need to install anything for start. Startx is not working.
[09:50] <pie_time> when trying to play a radio station on ubuntu i get "Please enter a valid login name and password for realm (null)". I have no idea what I'm supposed to enter. Could anyone please tell me?
[09:50] <pie_time> VLC
[09:51] <ipunk> how do i check what hardware i has on ubuntu???
[09:52] <codebrainz> __good_day_, which install CD did you use?
[09:52] <codebrainz> ipunk, you can use the hwinfo utility
[09:52] <RCP> Can Someone point me to a howto install active directory on ubuntu 10.04?
[09:52] <__good_day_> codebrainz: ubuntu-10.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso, running i3 processor
[09:53] <DoubleString> hey all
[09:53] <ipunk> codebrainz:  please tell the exact instuction second day on ubuntu
[09:53] <codebrainz> __good_day_, did you install "command line only" system?
[09:53] <__good_day_> codebrainz: No, it didnt ask anything and install on its own. I am not sure where to do the required setting
[09:54] <codebrainz> ipunk, 'apt-get install hwinfo' and then 'man hwinfo' for instructions
[09:55] <codebrainz> __good_day_, try 'apt-get install xorg ubuntu-desktop'
[09:56] <ahox> Hi, is there a way to find out how many ram modules are installed without openin the case?
[09:56] <codebrainz> ipunk, there's some really good gui tools for this as well, but i can't remember any names
[09:56] <ahox> /proc/meminfo does not have this info
[09:56] <pie_time> when trying to play a radio station on VLC i get "Please enter a valid login name and password for realm (null)". I have no idea what I'm supposed to enter. Could anyone please tell me?
[09:57] <ipunk> codebrainz:  thx i has the hardware listed in mah termianl now
[09:57] <__good_day_> codebrainz: it needs administrative priviliges to execute the command. I am loggin in as ubuntu@ubuntu. I havenot entered anywhere the root password while installation or configuring the virtual machine. Any way i get login as root or run su command.
[09:58] <__good_day_> codebrainz: any default root password
[09:58] <codebrainz> __good_day_, sudo apt-get install ...
[09:59] <codebrainz> __good_day_, it sounds like you're running the live system though and not the installed one, you should've been asked to setup a user
[09:59] <pie_time> IT SAYS HTTP AUTHENTICATION AT THE TOP OF THE BOX
[10:00] <th0r> ahox: free will show memory
[10:00] <__good_day_> codebrainz: ooh.. Yes, How to make sure I am running live system. Also your command works and I have been asked to install a lot of packages of around 2 GB.
[10:00] <ahox> th0r, thnx, however I am interested in the number of installed modules... I just found the command lshw, maybe this one is helpfull
[10:01] <codebrainz> __good_day_, it will all be for nothing if you're running the live system
[10:01] <ipunk> ikonia:                         Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
[10:01] <codebrainz> __good_day_, probably easier just to reinstall using the Desktop CD
[10:02] <pie_time> anyone!?
[10:03] <th0r> pie_time: you get that when the server does not respond....there is nothing to enter...it is a bogus prompt
[10:03] <umc> guys, if I do a tail -f /var/log/messages, I get "rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="969" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'". any idea what that means ? google didn't help
[10:03] <pie_time> th0r, then how do i access this station ive accessed 5 times before with no problem?
[10:04] <umc> that command lightweight doesn't exist
[10:04] <__good_day_> codebrainz: I got you, Instead of downloading desktop one, I have downloaded alternate iso image. Let me download the desktop and install again. Thank you a Lot..
[10:04] <th0r> pie_time: it is probably either busy or offline. Sometimes you can get in by trying several times, but sometimes the server is just offline
[10:04] <pie_time> ok
[10:04] <pie_time> thanks
[10:05] <__good_day_> codebrainz: downloading http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso image now.
[10:05] <datune> What's the preffered method to have a script execute on startup of a server?
[10:05] <codebrainz> __good_day_, yep, it should be much friendlier if you are kinda new
[10:06] <codebrainz> datune, you can add a call to it in /etc/rc.local iirc
[10:08] <datune> What if I write a script named FOO, which executes the real script, put that in /etc/init.d/ and then do update-rc.d FOO defaults, wouldn't that be a better option?
[10:09] <codebrainz> datune, i guess, it depends what the script is doing and when you want it to run
[10:10] <datune> codebrainz: It's a monitoring tool for MySQL Servers (called MONyog)
[10:10] <codebrainz> datune, only reason i say rc.local is because it runs last afaik
[10:11] <datune> codebrainz: Really, I just want to make sure that if the machine is rebooted, MONyog is started
[10:11] <Naznaz> hi, I installed http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+sunrise+plymouth?content=129696 but it is only in greyscales on startup, what can I do about that?
[10:11] <datune> codebrainz: I see. Thanks a lot!
[10:12] <akios> blubb o.O
[10:12] <akios> Is there a way to get Battlefield bad company 2 running with Ubuntu or no chance?
[10:12] <DjAngo23> Hello everyone, i have a local server with dnsmasq on it, and it is working great with the window scomputer in my environment. But the mac and mainly the Ubuntu computer are not working via that dns:   I configured my DNS IP /etc/resolv.conf and did sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload
[10:12] <DjAngo23> If i ping a subdomain it just doesn' t work.
[10:13] <DjAngo23> On the PC' s it is working
[10:13] <chickamade> hello, has some one this this prob? My apt-* is getting stuck on this, e.g.
[10:13] <chickamade> sudo apt-get check
[10:13] <chickamade> Reading package lists... Done
[10:13] <chickamade> Building dependency tree... 50%
[10:13] <FloodBot3> chickamade: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> Hmm, i dont recall ever using the apt-get check command...
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> somthing to add to my notes.
[10:16] <DjAngo23> Any ideas guys ?
[10:16] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, it happens for other apt-*, aptitude or GUI
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> chickamade:  i wonder if thers not a currupted file in /var/cache/apt
[10:16] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, it just got stuck at 50% and going nowhere
[10:17] <ipunk> ikonia:                         Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> chickamade:  you could clean out the files in /var/cache/apt BUT some of those are required for apt to work. so dont just delete them.
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> apt can get very mad if some of the dirs/files in /var/cache/apt are not there
[10:19] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: i can't really get webcamstudio to stream video, it just hangs
[10:19] <kalmosx> but at least i can finally flip my video
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i did see some mention of being needed to be added to a video group when i ran it the first time.
[10:19] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: so i can't test it for you, sorry :(
[10:20] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: yeah, not sure what to do about that
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  i just add a video file source and look at the preview is all i did
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  use the system admin users tool and check the groups
[10:20] <DjAngo23> Back online. Some network issues
[10:20] <DjAngo23> I have a local server with dnsmasq on it, and it is working great with the window scomputer in my environment. But the mac and mainly the Ubuntu computer are not working via that dns:   I configured my DNS IP /etc/resolv.conf and did sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  select the user, advanced settings, theres a check box for video.
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  ive never actually had anyone connect to my webcam/webcamstudio. ive only watched the previews - so for all i know - it dosent work at all. :)
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> kalmosx:  got to log out/back in to change the groups. Brb
[10:23] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: after adding myself, it still shows the message :/
[10:23] <kalmosx> ah ok
[10:23] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, I moved pkgcache.bin to pkgcache.bin.bak, and apt-* seems happy BUT when I issue an install command it seemed to forget that coreutils, udev, and friends are installed
[10:24] <kalmosx> Dr_Willis: i admire your patience and good will, goodnight :)
[10:24] <chickamade> Dr_Willis: not sure if I should continue
[10:25] <chickamade> is there a way to tell APT to regenerate its cache?
[10:26] <Naznaz> hi, I installed the splashscreen from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu+sunrise+plymouth?content=129696 but it is only in greyscales on startup, what can I do about that?
[10:27] <Error404NotFound> http://pastebin.com/AhZbfvDK is this a valid bind zone definition? specially the MX part? Upon "dig mx domain.com" it gives "domain.com. 14400 IN MX 10 213.15.90.208.domain.com." which i don't think is right
[10:28] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: ask in #dbs
[10:28] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: ask in #dns
[10:28] <Error404NotFound> #dns
[10:29] <Error404NotFound> ikonia, tried in #bind with no luck
[10:30] <ezrafree> what should i do if i don't have a /etc/default/bluetooth ...should i just create one or is there something i should install?
[10:30] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, it seems /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin is corrupted, but if I moved it away, APT and dpkg would seem to lose all memory of installed pacakges
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> chickamade:  yea. Not sure what to do.
[10:30] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: ok - it's still nothing to do with ubuntu
[10:30] <Error404NotFound> ikonia, may be if dns is hosted on an ubuntu box :P
[10:31] <voob_of_doom> anybody knows some app that gives graphical representation of disk usage?
[10:31] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: no
[10:31] <Error404NotFound> ikonia, i was just kidding, peace :)
[10:31] <sometux> can't get the youtube plugin in totem to work?
[10:32] <diverse_izzue> voob_of_doom, baobab
[10:32] <voob_of_doom> diverse_izzue: thanks
[10:32] <diverse_izzue> voob_of_doom, Applications->accessories->disk usage analyzer
[10:33] <chickamade> Dr_Willis, apt-* seems happy if I moved it away, it regenerate one that is about the same size 14MB (but diff says they're not the same)
[10:33] <DjAngo23>  Hello everyone, i have a local server with dnsmasq on it, and it is working great with the window scomputer in my environment. But the mac and mainly the Ubuntu computer are not working via that dns:   I configured my DNS IP /etc/resolv.conf and did sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload
[10:35] <sometux> Totem youtube-plugin doesn't work, why?
[10:35] <ikonia> DjAngo23: what happens when you try to do an nslookup
[10:35] <boywonder> hi,can anyone tell me what:- unable to find a medium containing a live file system means?
[10:36] <ikonia> boywonder: in what context
[10:36] <boywonder> my gparted wont run
[10:36] <ezrafree> how can i tell what version of ubuntu i'm on?
[10:36] <ikonia> boywonder: are you running from a livecd ?
[10:36] <ikonia> ezrafree: lsb_release -a
[10:36] <boywonder> a usb
[10:36] <boywonder> live
[10:37] <boywonder> i get a debian live error
[10:37] <ikonia> boywonder: Hmmmm what shouldn't be a problem, but to me it suggests it' can't write to the live filesystem
[10:37] <ikonia> boywonder: what version of ubuntu ?
[10:37] <DjAngo23> ikonia, nslookup gives my the correct IP
[10:37] <boywonder> 10.4
[10:37] <ikonia> DjAngo23: then your dns is working on the desktop
[10:37] <ezrafree> ikonia: thanks
[10:38] <boywonder> im dual booting?
[10:38] <ikonia> boywonder: what does that have to do with anything
[10:38] <DjAngo23> ikonia,  i know the problem
[10:38] <sometux> I have problem playing youtube videos in Totem 2.30.2, any ideas?
[10:38] <DjAngo23> i named my server local
[10:38] <DjAngo23> Anbd that creates a conflict
[10:38] <boywonder> anyway what could it be?
[10:39] <ikonia> boywonder: I've just suggested the problem
[10:39] <boywonder> where is the live file system?
[10:39] <ikonia> boywonder: it should be on your usb
[10:40] <deploy> Im looking for a network interface monitor which can tell me total data usage over a period of time (month). Any suggest one?
[10:40] <ikonia> deploy: cacti ?
[10:40]  * deploy looks
[10:40] <Matsy> Wow, how could wubi have modified my bios settings
[10:41] <boywonder> ikonia,  so it could be i havnt got the live cd in order?
[10:41] <Matsy> Completely changed the boot sequence.
[10:41] <tasslehoff> where does "uname -a" take it's info from? /boot?
[10:42] <ikonia> tasslehoff: from the running ker el
[10:42] <ikonia> kernel
[10:43] <tasslehoff> ikonia: hm. does grub take the kernel from /boot?
[10:43] <tasslehoff> by default
[10:44] <tasslehoff> ikonia: I installed 32-bit Ubuntu, but uname -a says x86_64. It failed installing grub and used an old /boot from my previous 64-bit install
[10:45] <sometux> how to make nautilus to display the location path in buttons instead of a text box?

[10:47] <ct529> hi guys!
[10:47] <ct529> I have some difficultie sin setting out an alternative outgoing server on evolution. Is that even possible? I have one server that I use in the office (the main one), but when I am at home I need to use a different one.
[10:48] <Naznaz> I installed a spashsreen but that is only displayed in black/white on startup. What can I do about that?
[10:48] <ikonia> tasslehoff: your running 64bit
[10:48] <ct529> I cannot access any other outgoing server from the office (the block the protocol) and I cannot access the office server at home (again, the block the protocol)
[10:48] <ct529> any help?
[10:49] <algnod> Hi, I would like to help test 10.10beta and I am running into some issues, is someone here who could help?
[10:49] <Doyle> ct529: talk to your office tech dept
[10:49] <ct529> Doyle: and say what?
[10:49] <Doyle> ct529: get some vpn action going
[10:49] <itbcn8> algnod: what sort of problems
[10:49] <ct529> Doyle: nope, it slows everything down
[10:49] <ct529> Doyle: I would like to configure an alternative outgoing server
[10:50] <Doyle> ct529: vpn is used to assure security. A company will not allow alternate connection methods to be employed. Read the IT policy I'm sure it's mentioned in there that any attempt to breach network security has severe repercussions
[10:51] <ct529> Doyle: I need to set up an alternative outgoing server when I use the laptop from home for personal use
[10:51] <rww> algnod: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for Maverick questions and support, try there :)
[10:52] <ct529> Doyle: it is fine with our IT department
[10:52] <algnod> thanks rww
[10:52] <Doyle> ct529: all access to your corporate network will have to be handled by the companies IT dept. If there's a sever involved get themt o set it up and tell you how to establish a connection.
[10:53] <Doyle> ct529: if you have a more specific question than how to connect to a corporate network from home...
[10:57] <ct529> Doyle: you did not read qhat I said .... I need to set up an alternative outgoing server when I use the laptop from home for PERSONAL use .... it is perfectly FINE with my IT department (I checked with them) .... there is only one simple technical question: hwo do I set up an alternative outgoing server in evolution under ubuntu 10.04?
[10:58] <Doyle> ct529: ok, lets try this again. I have issues with people trying to circumnavigate network security... years of compromised networks has made me freak out at the idea of it
[10:59] <ct529> Doyle: look, it is not a security issue .... it is the fact that I cannot find the way of configuring an alternative outgoing server on evolution in ubuntu 10.04 for personal use .... in what way is that related to a security issue????
[10:59] <Baram2> anyone know anything about the latest kernel update breaking logitech wireless mouse/keybards?
[11:00] <Doyle> ct529: What is the connection for? Mail primarily I assuem
[11:02] <Baram2> just updated kernel (to 2.6.32-24) on 10.04, now my logitech MX wireless mouse/keyboard will not function.  Pulling the USB key and putting back makes it prompt to grant/reject access to some long string of numbers... any idea what's going on?
[11:03] <ct529> Doyle: it is just an outgoing server (smtp) on evolution to send emails, my personal, private emails, that should not go through the company outgoing smtp server
[11:03] <Doyle> ct529: ok lovely. you have it's public ip address?
[11:03] <boywonder> what would live medium path be set to for gparted on usb?
[11:03] <ct529> Doyle: of whom?
[11:04] <Doyle> ct529: to connect to the company server you have to have either it's IP address or its web address
[11:05] <Doyle> ct529: it'll look something like 64.128.2.252 or http://company.com/exchange or something
[11:05] <ct529> Doyle: I am saying I do NOT want to connect to the company's address .... I want to connect to an alternative smtp server, that I can choose when I send personal emails  .... exactly as it works in other email clients, like kmail!
[11:05] <umc-work> can I disable everything that has to do with sound ? drivers, etc ? I don't use sound on a computer, and I want to check if that's causing problem with a general protection fault
[11:07] <Doyle> ct529: ok, so you have the server setup already, does it have an external ip address taht you can ping at home? If you're not going to be tunneling into the company network via vpn, it has to ahve a public ip address
[11:07] <ct529> Doyle: yes I have that
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> umc-work:  you could rmmod the sound card modules.
[11:08] <Baram2> anyone?
[11:08] <Doyle> ct529: and you have the username and password for the mailbox that's setup on the server?
[11:08] <Doyle> Baram2: huh? mouse?
[11:08] <ct529> Doyle: yep
[11:09] <Doyle> ct529: ok, can you ping the ip address?
[11:09] <Doyle> ct529: we'll start with the basics
[11:09] <ct529> Doyle: yep
[11:09] <Baram2> yes, updated kernel from repos, now my mouse and keyboard do not work
[11:09] <Doyle> ct529: ok, what happens when you plug in all the settings into your amil client exactly? Are you getting an error?
[11:09] <Baram2> a few times it prompted me to grant access for them, I did, it asked again, I did... now it doesn't ask and doesn't do anything
[11:09] <Doyle> Baram2: ah fun... just a minute
[11:10] <Baram2> looks just like this: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454549
[11:10] <umc-work> Dr_Willis: can that be reversed ? do you know any docs that explain how to do that ? I never dealt with stuff like this. I know the codek is Realtek ALC889A. it's an intel sound card
[11:10] <ct529> Doyle: nope, it happens that I have to set a completely new account, whilst I want to use it with the same account
[11:10] <Baram2> but their fix is talking about netbook remix and some omnibox(or something) module, neither of which I'm dealing with
[11:11] <ct529> Doyle: one account, two alternative smtp servers .... exactly as in kmail / kontatct
[11:11] <Matsy> I am having an issue while building kernel 2.6.32.9. I'm doing make oldconfig && make prepare, but it's giving me the following erros:
[11:12] <Matsy> The error the command make oldconfig && make prepare is giving me is as follows: make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'.  Stop.
[11:12] <ct529> Doyle: In the tab sending emails I only find the way on setting one smtp server for one account
[11:12] <Matsy> It's a tad weird.
[11:13] <sweetpi> ct529: just add a new account without incoming server, only your alternate smtp server. then when you create mail just choose the "From" dropdown
[11:13] <Doyle> ct529: thats right, typically it's one account/one smtp server. You can add multiple accounts to an email client and setup folders for each, or dump all mail into one
[11:13] <ct529> Doyle: is thatv the only solution?
[11:13] <Naznaz> I installed the splashscreen from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=129696&forumpage=1 but it is only grey for me. Any idea?
[11:13] <Doyle> ct529: sweetpi 's suggestion is solid, if the program will accept it with empty fields
[11:14] <sweetpi> ct529: choose incoming server type "None"
[11:14] <ct529> Doyle: sweetpi: so evolution doe snot actually allow for alternative smtp servers in the same account? that is the reason why I did not find any documentation on google or on th evolution sever
[11:14] <snoy_ms> hey all. I installed a fresh ubuntu server. now i cant use apt http://pastebin.com/BuTknewE
[11:15] <snoy_ms> sorry its germany. At the top are my source and then the erros when using apt-get update
[11:15] <sweetpi> ct529: not that I know of, but I dont use it. I just opened it cause I was tired of you two arguing :p
[11:15] <tasslehoff> ikonia: yep, but the issue is that the install didn't touch the /boot partition. so it loads a 64-bit kernel, but my everything in my install expects 32-bit
[11:15] <tasslehoff> I need to reinstall /boot
[11:16] <ct529> sweetpi: what do you use?
[11:16] <Doyle> Baram2: are you on 2.6.32-24?
[11:16] <snoy_ms> never saw this before.....NODATA 1 NODATA 2 signature !??!
[11:16] <Baram2> doyle yes
[11:16] <Doyle> Baram2: revert
[11:16] <Baram2> doyle: 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:17] <sweetpi> ct529: depends on what im doing.. but thunderbird on gui
[11:17] <Doyle> Baram2: revert for now, let them fix it, then update it later
[11:17] <Baram2> Doyle yeah... small problem there, ESC key on my keyboard is broken, can't get into GRUB menu
[11:17] <magul_> #bazaar
[11:17] <Doyle> Baram2: borrow a keyboard from a friend/neighbor when you have a chance
[11:17] <Baram2> doyle there's no work around on this at all?  I could just comment it out in the menu.lst
[11:18] <ct529> sweetpi: I actually did not argue, just asked a question .... does thunderbird allow for alternative smtp servers on the same account? I just migrated from KDE to GNOME becaus ethis is what everybody else was using, but I feel constrained by evolution
[11:18] <Doyle> Baram2: you can try putting in a line 'pci=noacpi' and see fi that helps
[11:18] <snoy_ms> anyone can help me?
[11:18] <Baram2> doyle what's the issue?
[11:19] <Doyle> Baram2: ... your mouse doesn't work?
[11:19] <Naznaz> I installed the splashscreen from http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=129696&forumpage=1 but it is only grey for me. Any idea?
[11:19] <Doyle> is this a trick question?
[11:19] <Baram2> doyle I know my mouse (and keyboard) don't work... I mean what's the problem with this kernel :P
[11:19] <Doyle> snoy_ms: wudup?
[11:19] <mujtaba> Hi any one here I need to discuss an issue with USB  internet drivers
[11:20] <snoy_ms> Doyle: http://pastebin.com/BuTknewE
[11:20] <snoy_ms> Doyle: installed a fresh ubuntu server.
[11:20] <Doyle> Baram2: ah, the problem is that several people have had this problem and no one has a fix
[11:20] <snoy_ms> Doyle: now i get errors when using apt-get update
[11:21] <sweetpi> ct529: yeah I understand, I didnt mean you were trying to argue. But someone took it as you were trying to get around a firewall. I knew you wasnt, but I didnt know how to do it in evolution... now I do :)
[11:21] <snoy_ms> Doyle: http://pastebin.com/NdsZ3rsK
[11:21] <Baram2> doyle you would think making sure keyboards and mice work would be a basic QA check before release :P
[11:21] <ct529> sweetpi: :-D .... what about thunderbird?
[11:21] <Baram2> doyle what else will pci=noacpi effect?
[11:21] <Doyle> Baram2: lol I know how you feel but they dont' have every piece of hardware to test with in development
[11:22] <sweetpi> ct529: thunderbird is basically the same way, except you have a list of outgoing servers and in the accounts you choose a default one
[11:22] <Doyle> Baram2: it disables the routing of acpi information on the system bus
[11:22] <Doyle> Baram2: Can't get into it, but sometimes it works magic
[11:22] <Baram2> doyle I tried two different wireless keyboards, by two very different manufacturers so... seems to be the same bluetooth issue that always crops up in a different manner, in the past it was simple enough to just unplug and replug
[11:24] <Doyle> snoy_ms: try this http://pastebin.com/ZMh3h9wD
[11:24] <linusoleander> Is it possible to watch a some files in a folder. If a something i change in the folder, a callback is being kicked on
[11:25] <Baram2> doyle: boot option did nothing
[11:25] <Doyle> Baram2: bluetooth, tell me one of those keyboards is a wired usb
[11:25] <Baram2> doyle: I have one old PS2 keyboard I keep around for when things just don't work, other than that I have 2 bluetooth sets, normally only one in use (synergy between the two systems)
[11:26] <snoy_ms> Doyle: same problem..... "GPG error:"
[11:26] <Doyle> Baram2: ok, how about this, teh grub list should have an entry for each version kernel available on your system, just select the old one as the default by manually editing it
[11:26] <ct529> sweetpi: I like that!
[11:27] <user> i
[11:27] <Doyle> snoy_ms: ah ok, got ya
[11:27] <Baram2> doyle was just about to reboot it again, after commenting out the new -24, which leaves the -22 I had before
[11:28] <Doyle> snoy_ms: run these in order
[11:28] <deploy> ikonia: Cacti looks good, but Im lost with configuring the network device. You able to help per chance?
[11:29] <Doyle> snoy_ms: 'apt-get clean'    'cd /var/lib/apt'   'mv lists lists.old'    'mkdir -p lists/partial'    'apt-get clean'   'apt-get update'
[11:29] <Doyle> Baram2: nice
[11:29] <JohnHeikkila> Hey guys
[11:29] <Baram2> doyle guess I won't update my other computer today :P
[11:29] <whysoserious> Hey kiddos
[11:29] <kaozk_> Hi! can any one suggest  me how to change the ip address in ubuntu 10.04...
[11:29] <JohnHeikkila> Anyone know how to fix Google-Chrome's "Profile could not be opened"
[11:30] <whysoserious> I am asking for any help about Ethernet connection and DNS
[11:30] <Benwa> kaozk_, sudo ifconfig INTERFACE NEW_IP
[11:30] <azlon> what is the fastest way to transfer files from one PC to another? Gigabit ethernet? Is there a way to transfer from eSATA to eSATA?
[11:30] <red> how can I set my laptop CPU to be on full power always? it's never disconnected from power supply
[11:30] <Doyle> Baram2: better not to  lol
[11:30] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> how can I tell if the system I am on is 64bit or 32bit?
[11:30] <Benwa> kaozk_, for example : sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1
[11:30] <red> but each time I login the scheme goes to "on demand"
[11:30] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> uname -a doesn't realy help
[11:30] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> one says  x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:30] <JohnHeikkila> it's 64
[11:31] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> the other  i686 GNU/Linux
[11:31] <JohnHeikkila> 64
[11:31] <red> 686 = 32bit
[11:31] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> JohnHeikkila, I know. The SECOND ONE
[11:31] <JohnHeikkila> ohh
[11:31] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> so, camn I reliably assume the i686 is a 32bit system?
[11:31] <kaozk_> i will reply  after trying thanks in advance!!!
[11:31] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> is there a more definitive way?
[11:31] <snoy_ms> Doyle: it did it, same problem....http://pastebin.com/Ychp1xuv
[11:31] <ct529> sweetpi: thanks a lot for your help
[11:31] <JohnHeikkila> if 686 is 32 bit, what's the difference between i686 and i386?
[11:32] <red> age
[11:32] <JohnHeikkila> lol
[11:32] <hsr> Hello
[11:32] <red> i386 and i486 are the names of some really old Intel processors
[11:32] <hsr> Atlast back on my fav channel!
[11:32] <JohnHeikkila> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: Is your PC a laptop?
[11:32] <Flannel> JohnHeikkila: You remember 286, 386, 486, 586, etc?
[11:32] <sweetpi> ct529: yw
[11:32] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> JohnHeikkila, they are intel architectures for their chipsets, age, etc, see ubuntu having a 686 compile target, also though, see "how computers work" - what I want to know is, in WikiSpeak, WhyHasNobodyFixedThisSoICanFindOutWhatMachineThisServerIs?
[11:32] <Baram2> doyle umm... uname verifies I'm on -22, and I still get the same thing and the same error message...
[11:32] <red> the CPUs are still compatible with the old i386 binaries still
[11:32] <JohnHeikkila> Flannel: I don't think I'm old enough to remember
[11:32] <JohnHeikkila> kay
[11:32] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> JohnHeikkila, My mac is a wall mounted clock
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> Bummer. I can not get google chat/video to work with WebCamStudio :*(
[11:33] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> what is a "PC" and what is a Laptop, this is chunks of silicon we are talking about
[11:33] <red> my first PC was a 286dx :)
[11:33] <hsr> How to record radio streams in Rhytmbox/Amarok?
[11:33] <JohnHeikkila> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: Talking about Desktop PC or Laptop
[11:33] <Doyle> snoy_ms: 'sudo aptitude -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update'  then do  'sudo apt-get update'
[11:33] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> they happen to be "somethings" on the other side of "tubes" so I can't turn them up side down to "check"
[11:33] <red> but: how can I set my laptop CPU to be on full power always? it's never disconnected from power supply? it's automaticly on demand each time i log in.
[11:33] <Doyle> Baram2: oh you're completely foobared
[11:33] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> JohnHeikkila, You have no context, you are out of your depth, let's go bowling
[11:33] <Flannel> JohnHeikkila: Alright, well, it was basically just the next revision.  So first we had 286, etc, etc.  So, the 386 version assumes you're at least using a 386.  The 686 assumes you're using at least a 686 (686 had some more features than 386, it makes use of those, and assumes you won't be using a processor without them)
[11:33] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> What command can I run?
[11:34] <Baram2> doyle wtf was in those updates...
[11:34] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> Flannel, any conclusive command I can tap tappity tap to get the bits?
[11:34] <JohnHeikkila> Ok
[11:34] <Doyle> Baram2: Narcotics and Jar-Jar Binks stickers
[11:35] <JohnHeikkila> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: You could try installing a 64 package and if it can't, then it's not 64bit
[11:35] <sweetpi> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo
[11:35] <snoy_ms> Doyle: now i get this http://pastebin.com/a08EjW4k
[11:35] <Doyle> Baram2: we may be able to assume it wasn't the kernel update, maybe something else
[11:35] <snoy_ms> Doyle: also errors
[11:36] <Baram2> doyle something in the last 4 days, was gone for the weekend and just did the updates when I got back
[11:36] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> sweetpi, same output on both
[11:36] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> I have a binary, on server A, it runs
[11:36] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> on Server B is says "no file or folder found"
[11:36] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> wtf
[11:36] <JohnHeikkila> Hey I need some help with google chrome's "Your profile could not be opened correctly"
[11:36] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> so... ?!?!?!?!!!!!! how and when where what? possible? not found for wrong architecture? or is something else happening?
[11:36] <JohnHeikkila> and this doesn't do the trick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1341721

[11:37] <hsr> How to record radio streams in Rhytmbox/Amarok?
[11:37] <Baram2> doyle any way to find out what updates were last installed?

[11:37] <JohnHeikkila> sweetpi: I have a 64 bit computer but I'm running 32 bit ubuntu
[11:37] <JohnHeikkila> lol
[11:38] <sweetpi> JohnHeikkila: yes, i didnt say it was the running kernel. I thought he was asking about his cpu
[11:38] <JohnHeikkila> sweetpi: Ohh, sorry
[11:38] <Doyle> Baram2: yea, you can use synaptic package manager and go File > History
[11:38] <Doyle> Baram2: keyboard can do it
[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> jrib, a.out
[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> how can bash return No such file or directory
[11:39] <jrib> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: I don't really full like pulling teeth, can you just say the relevant information to your issue?
[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> HOW CAN SHE SLAP?
[11:39] <snoy_ms> Doyle: seems that it is a connection problem. "HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host"
[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> :-) but seriously, HOW? It is 2010, HOW?
[11:39] <Doyle> snoy_ms: give it an hour and try again, that's all I can tell ya from here
[11:39] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> jrib, a.out runs on serverA, not on serverB, bash just says: No such file or directory
[11:40] <snoy_ms> Doyle: oki doki, thanks so far
[11:40] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> How is that possible. That is the issue: ./a.out: No such file or directory
[11:40] <Doyle> snoy_ms: np, good luck
[11:40] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> protip: ls ./a.out works
[11:40] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> *^%&^%& BASH, HOW DOES IT WORK?
[11:40] <wikiik> hi

[11:41] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> ./a.out: No such file or directory
[11:41] <Doyle> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: try ls -la
[11:41] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> that is it, nothing to pastebin...
[11:41] <kaozk_> Hi! how can i restart my network connection on ubuntu 10.04?!...
[11:41] <jrib> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: this channel is not a pastebin.
[11:41] <boywonder> help me man?
[11:41] <wikiik> i have just installed ubuntu in a pc, but i don't know why it doesn't get the ip address throw dhcp
[11:41] <wikiik> any idea how to force the dhcp to get the address?
[11:42] <snoy_ms> Doyle: i read something about firewall problems. "fetch error" seems to be a firewall block

[11:42] <gschwepp> kaozk_:     /etc/init.d/network-manager restart  ?
[11:43] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> jrib, I don't need to pastebin, there is nothing to pastebin, stop saying pastebin. It is simple: two binaries, one server, it works, second server, I get No such file or directory. Where is the pastebin there? In the same space to paste the pastebin url, I could paste the actual thing.
[11:43] <jrib> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: no you can't because I asked you for several things.
[11:43] <boywonder> can anyone help me with my gparted live boot usb?
[11:43] <mbrochh>  Hello all. Which linux commands are best suited to check if a file is empty
[11:44] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> aaaha, result of those commands
[11:44] <jrib> mbrochh: you could use du to check size I suppose
[11:44] <dtcfyvgubhinjmk> I truncated your input
[11:44] <jrib> dtcfyvgubhinjmk: ok, but pastebin everything including the commands you are running each server at the same url as it's easier for me to manage multiple people that way
[11:44] <boywonder> or point me to a #?
[11:44] <HollyRain> .bzrignore file (bazaar), can be used comment lines? #
[11:45] <jrib> boywonder: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[11:45] <boywonder> i just dont get live media?
[11:45] <Baram2> doyle only other thing, besides programs I see is some libgu and udev...
[11:45] <jrib> HollyRain: try #bzr
[11:46] <gschwepp> boywonder: are you looking for a live usb stick? with ubuntu on it?
[11:46] <kaozk_> huh! that did not work it displays some error msg ! is there any other way to change the ip address and restart the network connection?!
[11:46] <boywonder> no that would be nice at a later stage though, im just trying to get gparted working on it?
[11:46] <snoy_ms> Doyle: is there a way to add the key thing without using the keyserver ?
[11:46] <gschwepp> kaozk_: ifconfig

[11:50] <jrib> boywonder: this is ubuntu, try #debian if you are asking a debian question

[12:07] <julio-PE> what is the default web browser in Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Edition? and 10.10? tnks!
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> julio-PE:  that would be firefox.
[12:07] <ost2life> okay, yesterday I was in here reporting problems with my wifi. Despite everything seeming to be okay upto and including wlan0 being able to negotiate an IP address and actually connect to the network, I've been unable to access any external server at all from that PC. Since then I got frustrated and did a clean install on /, however /home was on it's own partition and i left that untouched. The problem has persisted on an ot
[12:08] <hsr> Dr_Willis: What should be the application for apt contents in firefox?
[12:08] <CppIsWeird1> i want to make an image of a windows ntfs partition and save it to an external hard drive so that i can restore that partition later. is that possible?
[12:09] <julio-PE> Dr_Willis: for both Firefox is the default? i was read something about Chromium as default. it's wrong?
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  i nomrally save them , then use gdebi to install deb packages via the command line.  I think FF can assoircate deb's with gdebi also and can work
[12:09] <sometux> I have problem playing youtube videos in Totem, please help?
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> julio-PE:  it was firefox when i installed 10.10

[12:11] <gschwepp> ost2life: your system, what and what your problem is what your goal is and a pastebin of right that you got there
[12:12] <gschwepp> tarabaz: #xchat or so?
[12:12] <tarabaz> yep
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> tarabaz:  becuse theres a LOT of channels
[12:13] <industrial> Howcome there is no Create Directory option in the menu when I right click on a folder in Nautilus in the List View? this is quite annoying. I have to create a folder in the main folder and then drag it somewhere in the tree.
[12:13] <tarabaz> that was a lame question, but i'm more familiar with irsii - just testing xchat right now. and i must say - in irsii there are no such freezes - think that i back to my beloved irsii :D
[12:13] <hsr> industrial: What directory you tried thaT?
[12:14] <gschwepp> tarabaz: s/irsii/irssi
[12:14] <industrial> hsr: any directory I right click in the tree view (list view in nautilus) doesn't let me create a new directory under that one. not one.
[12:14] <tarabaz> typing to fast ;)
[12:14] <ezrafree> Baram2: thank you ill try that
[12:15] <hsr> industrial: Are you able to create in other modes?
[12:15] <jayeola> hey chaps. having trouble removing a package:- http://pastebin.ca/1934219 any tips?
[12:15] <hsr> industrial: Are you able to create in other views?
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> industrial:  you have to click on a empty part of the file listing (and its sort of hard to find a good empty place) or use the menu item. Or are you meaning right clicking ON a directory Icon?  cant say ive ever tried that..
[12:15] <ost2life> gschwepp: Pastebin: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/inFEFcaZ The wifi is a USB edimax device that up until yesterday worked perfectly and without a hitch. Then I rebooted, and when the system loaded, the wifi connected (including assigning me an IP) to the network, however I was unable to connect to any external server, no ping or HTTP request, nothing. HOWEVER, the computer is visible on the DCHP client list and I've checked all
[12:15] <gschwepp> ost2life: QUERY D
[12:15] <ost2life> query d?
[12:16] <jrib> jayeola: it's not from the official repositories?  Check its scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ to see what is going wrong
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel
[12:16] <ezrafree> Baram2: thank you! it worked. you're a genius!
[12:16] <industrial> Dr_Willis: well its where I expect it. if the menu item in the File menu does so for the main directory why can't a subdirectory right click menu do it for that subdirectory?
[12:17] <jayeola> jrib: thanks
[12:17] <hsr> Dr_Willis: Yes/.. that reset panel will help
[12:17] <industrial> Dr_Willis: I'd like to get somewhere with this. What's the best way to go to the creators of Nautilus? a mailing list somewhere or ticket system?
[12:17] <anezmk> Hey
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> industrial:  post the idea to the brainstorm site. You could make a nautilus script entry that could do it i imagine
[12:17] <hsr> industrial: Are you able to create in other views?
[12:17] <anezmk> Need some help?!
[12:17] <industrial> hsr: probably not
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> I got enought right click entries on my menus anyway
[12:17] <industrial> hsr: but it makes sense in a tree :)
[12:18] <hsr> industrial: Its most likely related to permissions else reset panel is required
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> with that nautilys-pyextensions tool you could add such an entry if you wanted industrial
[12:18] <anezmk> When I try to install dotnet20 with winetricks I get an error everytime!
[12:18] <hsr> industrial: Go to terminal and try 'gksudo nautilus'...are you able to create then?
[12:19] <sometux> Can anyone confirm Totem youtube plugin works in Lucid, its never worked for me?
[12:19] <industrial> hsr: its not file permissions, its an option I expected to be there but isn't in the nautilus interface :)
[12:19] <hsr> !info nautilys-pyextensions
[12:19] <anezmk> Help anu one?
[12:19] <anezmk> any even
[12:19] <hsr> !info nautilus-pyextensions
[12:19] <headkase314> !ask | anezmk
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> http://www.giuspen.com/nautilus-pyextensions/

[12:21] <anezmk>  i'm typing sh winetricks dotnet20 please help?
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> I cant see much gain by a special menu item to make a subdir in a dirctory you are not in.. but whatever. :)
[12:21] <hsr> Dr_Willis: Yes..
[12:21] <fubarbundy> Hi boys and girls... sorry if I get any etiquette wrong in here, but I need some help with a GVFS problem...
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> anezmk:  try the winetricks homepage, and #winehq perhaps?   i dont recall using sh winetricks, just  ./winetricks whatever
[12:22] <jrib> jayeola: by the way, it's usually best to figure out what's going wrong and fix it rather than just commenting or destructively editing the script
[12:22] <fubarbundy> File associations have suddenly stopped working on GVFS mounts for non-GVFS-aware applications...
[12:23] <zetheroo1> has anyone had success with OpenMeeting in Ubuntu?
[12:23] <anezmk> Dr_Willis, Thx i'll try that
[12:23] <hsr> Dr_Willis: I've installed what you said regarding recording radio streams. Now what?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  run the program? figrue it out.. you never did state what radio stream
[12:24] <fubarbundy> I am getting:
[12:24] <fubarbundy> Could not display "[file]".
[12:24] <fubarbundy> There is no application installed for [filetype]
[12:24] <fubarbundy> Select Application/OK
[12:24] <FloodBot1> fubarbundy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:24] <headkase314> anezmk, here is some stuff to look through to make sure you have all the prerequisites set up correctly -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3754
[12:25] <boywonder> ok i know ive been told to go elsewhere just im havin no luck, what is noswap in menu.lst mean?
[12:25] <pfg> fubarbundy: google file extension then google ubuntu support for it and install
[12:25] <pfg> boywonder: virtual or "real" server
[12:26] <fubarbundy> pfg, thanks for your response but it's not a general association problem.
[12:26] <anezmk> headkase314, thx..
[12:26] <boywonder> pfg,  so if its set to noswap thats virtual
[12:26] <boywonder> ?
[12:26] <headkase314> anezmk, welcome, hope it helps.. ;)
[12:26] <pfg> boywonder: its a hint that it may be, some VPS (as opesed to VMWare IE containers) have that
[12:27] <fubarbundy> Only non-GFS apps (OOo, SMplayer etc.) are not 'recognised' by Nautilus
[12:27] <fubarbundy> If I copy the file locally it opens fine.
[12:27] <boywonder> im talking about menu.lst?
[12:27] <pfg> boywonder: your system or your renting it from a provider ?
[12:27] <fubarbundy> Been working fine up until 3 or 4 days ago.
[12:28] <boywonder> ok reeboot
[12:28] <pfg> boywonder: yes, no-swap is a normal trouble shooting option but since you have been hanging around and not solved shit yet I asume thats been said so look for other options
[12:28] <industrial> Dr_Willis: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25783/
[12:29] <hsr> Dr_Willis: I cannot find option to add stream and not even to record..
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  streamtuner has a record button.. if you can figure out your stream/radio url
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  it just calls streamripper with the proper options
[12:30] <mrbeany> I would like to disable all keyboard shortcuts, gnome, compiz, etc. Is there one program I can do this all from? And if not how could I go about it?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> streamtuner dosent seem to work right with Shoutcast any more. :(
[12:31] <pfg> mrbeany: system - prefrences - keyboard shortcuts , out of intrest why ?
[12:31] <soreau> mrbeany: If you did that, you wouldnt be able to even move, resize or focus your windows. What problem are you having exactly?
[12:32] <mrbeany> I have kidz that dont understand shortcuts
[12:32] <gryllida> how do I get a list of users of the os in cli?
[12:32] <mrbeany> they are playing and game and then all of a sudden the computer starts shutting down or something
[12:32] <pfg> mrbeany: if there desktop users then just disable any real shortcuts they may screw up with and edit the main menu to remove system menu
[12:32] <jrib> gryllida: depends on what exactly you want to do.  "ls /home" might be enough, if not, read /etc/passwd
[12:33] <fubarbundy> mrbeany - you might need compiz-config-settings-manager to disable all of Compiz's shortcuts too...
[12:33] <pfg> gryllida: type users
[12:33] <fubarbundy> (or dig around in gconf :)) )
[12:33] <tjubalauba> is there some nice X editor that has block select mode?
[12:33] <jrib> tjubalauba: gvim
[12:33] <pfg> fubarbundy: ture, never disabled all keyboard shortcuts, seems excessive
[12:33] <anezmk> headkase314, thx, it did it.. I had to run the exe file...
[12:33] <fubarbundy> And there will still be hard-coded stuff like the Delete key in Nautilus
[12:34] <soreau> tjubalauba: geany perhaps
[12:34] <headkase314> anezmk, awesome you're welcome glad I helped! ;) =)
[12:34] <mrbeany> I have ccsm, do  you know where I can see a list to disable them?
[12:34] <fubarbundy> Am I in the right channel to get some kind of expert help with GVFS?
[12:34] <fubarbundy> mrbeany, from memory they're scattered across each plugin's keybinding tabs
[12:34] <mrbeany> or do I have to configure each plugin seperatly?
[12:34] <mrbeany> fubarbundy: thanks
[12:35] <jrib> mrbeany: http://pastebin.com/08r39Vq2 is what I have in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0.  You could look into that (you'll have to read gtk docs).  You may be interested in gtk-enable-accels
[12:35] <gryllida> how do I change user's password in cli?
[12:35] <soreau> mrbeany: Ubuntu made it to where you cant disable some plugins, like move, resize and decoration
[12:36] <mrbeany> jrib: thanks will look into it
[12:36] <headkase314> gryllida, passwd command
[12:36] <gryllida> ok
[12:36] <jrib> mrbeany: that basically disables the shortcuts you see in the menus (the underlined keys)
[12:36] <mrbeany> soreau: I dont want to disable the plugins themselves, I just want to disable the shortcuts
[12:38] <soreau> mrbeany: then figure out whatever shortcut it is, then go to ccsm>preferences and click on the keyboard icon in the Filter box, then press the keybinding to see if its bound to anything in ccsm
[12:38] <red> argh
[12:38] <red> what was the name of the KDE control panel that could be installed on gnome?
[12:38] <AivarasKivilius> Do ubuntu 10.10 have own chanel?
[12:38] <soreau> mrbeany: note you will need sexy python installed for the keyboard icon to appear
[12:38] <soreau> ! maverick | AivarasKivilius
[12:39] <mrbeany> soreau: thanks, I think that it what I was looking for
[12:39] <AivarasKivilius> soreau, Thanks!
[12:39] <soreau> no problem ;)
[12:40] <ezrafree> what's the best way to set my time for my new timezone? it seems everytime i set it to Mountain time, next reboot it goes back to Eastern
[12:42] <mrbeany> soreau: I installed the python-sexy package but I dont see a keyboards button in ccsm?
[12:42] <soreau> mrbeany: in ccsm>Preferences, the button right above the Close button
[12:43] <brendan-k> "the beta is ready for your feedback" is written on the ubuntu homepage
[12:43] <soreau> mrbeany: err, actually it is in Advanced Search
[12:45] <brakim> Hi if i want the latest "nonbeta" veriosn of ubuntu and i want the dvd version and 64bit is ubuntu-10.04-dvd-amd64.iso the one i'am looking for?
[12:45] <mrbeany> soreau: hmm.. I cant see it, in either preferences or advanced search. So I updated all the related packages and I still cant see it
[12:45] <headkase314> brakim, you're better off downloading the cd version.  The dvd version mainly has language packs that you don't really need.  The cd image can be burnt and booted from dvd media if that is all you have.
[12:46] <soreau> mrbeany: It is a small icon in the Filter text box in advanced search
[12:46] <bubbles|> hi
[12:47] <mrbeany> soreau: aaahhhh yes I see, I was looking for something different. Thanks
[12:47] <bubbles|> why doesn't postfix respond to me any more if i telnet to localhost?
[12:47] <brakim> headkase314 it just that i only have dvd's at home
[12:47] <stealth_> Hello everyone. I am having trouble with amarok. I have tried all the guides I can find on the internet at the moment but I still cant get it to play through my usb headset. Anyone got any suggestions?
[12:48] <dr0id> how do I copy all the files from /var/www/folder1 to /var/www/folder2 ?
[12:48] <headkase314> brakim, I burnt the cd image to a dvd blank because that was all I had and it booted and installed fine.  You should be good there too?
[12:48] <dr0id> using console ofc
[12:48] <jrib> !cli > dr0id
[12:48] <jrib> dr0id: cp -a   is usually what you want
[12:49] <brakim> headkase314 okey so its possible to burn a cd image to a dvd ? didnt know that
[12:49] <headkase314> brakim, yes it is ok.  I don't know 100% but it worked for me.
[12:49] <stealth_> Anyone able to help?
[12:49] <jrib> stealth_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[12:50] <stealth_> I did jrib mate. basically my USB headset will not work with amarok even though it will pick it up in the settings and play sounds through it.
[12:50] <jrib> stealth_: only amarok?
[12:50] <stealth_> yeah
[12:50] <stealth_> I been using this fine on youtube
[12:50] <brakim> headkase314 but ubuntu-10.04-dvd-amd64.iso is the right version
[12:50] <jrib> stealth_: check its preferences for some output options?
[12:50] <hsr> Dr_Willis:
[12:50] <stealth_> jrib, I have, the USB headset it set to first
[12:51] <hsr> Dr_Willis: There?
[12:51] <jrib> stealth_: I think there's a #amarok, try that
[12:51] <brendan-k> does anybody know how often the irc logs are updated?
[12:51] <stealth_> ok mate
[12:51] <headkase314> brakim, for the dvd yes.  For the cd you would get the 64-bit from here -> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[12:51] <brendan-k> i just disconnected and i would like to see was my question answered
[12:51] <jrib> brendan-k: there's a small delay, just check what the most recent entry is for the #ubuntu log
[12:52] <jrib> brendan-k: the last thing you said here was "the beta is ready ..."
[12:54] <headkase314> brakim, how much memory is in your system?  64-bit is most suited to systems that have 4GB or more of memory.
[12:55] <tjubalauba> is there any competitor on the linux text editor scene that hasnt a GUI constructed for a computer with ADHD... that is - not vim o emacs
[12:56] <M00BYFR> adhd ?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  hmmm?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> tjubalauba:  no idea what half of what you said ment.. but theres dozens of text editors out. If you dont like vim or emacs. try geany or efte
[12:57] <tarabaz> hi there. does anybody know some reporting software for email server (or client), that will measure response time for incoming emails and show it in some report form?
[12:57] <hsr> Dr_Willis: How to change the recorded streams directory?
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  for what program?
[12:58] <hsr> Dr_Willis: The one you suggested.. did you forget my query?
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  i suggested several.  streamtuner and tunapie have gui settings dialogs.. and streamripper is a cli tool
[12:58] <hsr> Dr_Willis: I am using streamtuner now ...
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> check its settings
[13:00] <hsr> Dr_Willis: I can surmise that well but since i'm not able to find those settings particularly, i asked you :)
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> theres a directory setting i see.. thats about all i know on the topic.  I tend to use Tunapie
[13:01] <hsr> Dr_Willis: Okay.. where in Tunapie?
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> the logically named  'path to rip directory'
[13:01] <hsr> ok
[13:02] <stealth_> Dont know if anyones here or able to answer my question but could anyone refer me to a guide to get ym USB headset working with amarok. It will work in the settings but it will not work at all when I try to play music out of it. I know there is a way to do it but cant find the guide. Anyone able to help? ( I tried #amarok and nobodys spoke for the last 3 hours so yeah)
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> Thats the only directory setting Tunapie seems to have. :)
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> stealth_:  perhaps twiddle with the pulse audio settings
[13:03] <hsr> Dr_Willis: yeah.. got that.. Thanks. But Unfortunately, i cannot add any radio stream as with streamtuner
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  learn the streamripper tool that both are using as a backend. then you dont need tunapie or streamtuner
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> vlc can record streams also i recall

[13:06] <hsr> Dr_Willis: Thanks
[13:06] <elzoog> Dr. What do you mean by having a disc in the drive?
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> elzoog:  its saying your sr0 = Optical drive  has  ' Incompatible medium installed
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> elzoog:  so DO you have a disk in teh drive?
[13:06] <hsr> elzoog: You must be having a CD inserted
[13:07] <elzoog> Dr. I think I have a CD in, but why would that matter?
[13:07] <pie_time> can anyone tell  me how to organize the software in ubuntu software centere from most popular to least popular like you used to be able to do?
[13:07] <brendan-k> jrib: by the looks of things they are updated on the hour every hour
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> elzoog:  its talking abouyt your CD drive.  pop the disk out and see if you get the same error.
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> elzoog:  thats why it matters
[13:07] <jrib> brendan-k: I see
[13:07] <hsr> Yeah correct
[13:07] <elzoog> Wouldn't sr0 mean the hard drive?
[13:07] <brendan-k> jrib: thanks for helping

[13:09] <brendan-k> can somebody please tell me where can one give this feedback?
[13:09] <elzoog> Ok, I see the problem now.   I put a lightscribe DVD in to burn a label on the back side but never got around to it.
[13:09] <pie_time> can anyone tell  me how to organize the software in ubuntu software centere from most popular to least popular like you used to be able to do?
[13:09] <headkase314> !maverick | brendan-k
[13:09] <elzoog> Thanks Dr.   I was worried that it was complaining about my hard drive
[13:10] <hsr> ?!
[13:10] <brendan-k> headkase314: thank you
[13:10] <headkase314> brendan-k, you're welcome! ;)
[13:11] <pie_time> no one knows?
[13:11] <win0err> Hi!
[13:11] <pie_time> hi
[13:12] <Elba> shalom
[13:12] <pie_time> !il | Elba
[13:13] <adminio> hi
[13:13]  * Gnea is pretty sure he has no clue
[13:13] <adminio> i need all packages for install vbox on pc whitout internet.
[13:13] <pie_time> can anyone tell  me how to organize the software in ubuntu software centere from most popular to least popular like you used to be able to do?
[13:14] <Elba> That's neat. I know a few places that could use that, as Arabic/Hindi/Hebrew/etc. isn't generally spoken throughout the development community
[13:14] <dhruvasagar> Hi, is it possible to record audio and listen to it simultaneously via the speakers / headphones ?
[13:15] <adminio> i need all packages for install vbox on pc whitout internet. can help me?
[13:15] <hsr> dhruvasagar: That would become mike (minus the recording) :)
[13:15] <hsr> dhruvasagar: That would become mic (minus the recording) :)
[13:15] <Elba> dhruvasagar: yes
[13:15] <dhruvasagar> hsr: actually I am recording by connecting my guitar directly to the system...not using a mic, so...
[13:16] <sniperjo> has anyone heard of anybody being able to put a full distro on a linux picture frame like the HP DreamScreen 100
[13:16] <dhruvasagar> Elba: how !?
[13:16] <bazhang> pie_time, not available as far as I know; perhaps you mean gnome-app-install which does have that
[13:16] <bazhang> adminio, which version of vbox? the one with usb support or not
[13:17] <dhruvasagar> in essence I want to hear exactly what is being recorded...how is that possible !?
[13:17] <Elba> dhruvasagar: I don't use Linux for stuff like that, so I dunno. My guess? You'd record it and then send it to the speakers. However, one should raise the question of why you want to do this
[13:17] <hsr> dhruvasagar: For whaT?
[13:18] <pie_time> bazhang, does gnomeappinstall have all the new programs?
[13:18] <dhruvasagar> Elba: as I said, I am recording by connecting my guitar to the PC directly, so as I am recording I want to be able to hear it too..
[13:18] <dhruvasagar> hsr: what do you mean for what ?
[13:18] <dhruvasagar> wouldn't you like to hear the guitar as you play too ?
[13:18] <hsr> dhruvasagar: Got from your reply to Elba.. lemme see how i can help
[13:19] <Elba> dhruvasagar: yeah, that's why we, as humans, have evolved to have ears
[13:19] <pie_time> bazhang, does gnomeappinstall have all the new programs?
[13:19] <dhruvasagar> Elba: but what I hear is different from what is being recorded...(slightly)
[13:20] <bazhang> pie_time, no idea, never use it; try it perhaps and find out?
[13:20] <pie_time> bazhang, how could i test it
[13:20] <dhruvasagar> Elba: especially if I connect some pedals for distortion before I feed it to my PC
[13:20] <bazhang> pie_time, by installing it?
[13:20] <jochenh> hello! I need help, my wlan internet connection is much to slow, can someone help me?
[13:21] <Elba> jochenh: how slow is it?!
[13:21] <pfg> jochenh: pay for a faster connection ?
[13:21] <pie_time> bazhang, what software should i search for to test it
[13:21] <jochenh> about 1mbit
[13:21] <magnetron> jochenh: probably the signal is too weak
[13:21] <jochenh> magnetron, signal is about 25-50%
[13:22] <simplexio> jochenh: try to force link spped to higher (may or may not work)
[13:22] <magnetron> jochenh: yes
[13:22] <dhruvasagar> Elba: like for example, when your recording video, isn't it better to see what's being recorded live !?, Just like that I want to hear the music I am recording live....is that really so absurd ?
[13:22] <jochenh> simlexio, how can I do that?
[13:22] <hsr> dhruvasagar: No its not.. Just hold on
[13:23] <Elba> dhruvasagar: It could be. I play the keyboard, so everything I hear from the keyboard is the same on the piano. How is it different on your computer than in your own ears?
[13:23] <dhruvasagar> hsr: sure
[13:23] <jochenh> simplexio, how can I do that?
[13:23] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: what are you using to record ?
[13:23] <pie_time> bazhang, what software should i search for to test it
[13:24] <dhruvasagar> Elba: electric guitars don't produce music by themselves, their signals are amplified and processed by amplifiers & fed to speakers, in my case, I am connecting it directly to the computer & not to an amplifier.....
[13:24] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: audacity
[13:24] <bazhang> pie_time, its called gnome-app-install
[13:24] <simplexio> jochenh: man iwconfig
[13:25] <yakamo> can anyone recommend software that would erase all my data on my computer if someone makes several failed attempts to login?
[13:25] <pie_time> bazhang, no kidding! lol bazhang im just trying to ask you, once i have it installed, what new software that only exists in 10.04 can i search for to make sure its up to date? :)
[13:25] <dhruvasagar> yakamo: wtf ?
[13:25] <jochenh> simplexio, I tried iwconfig ra0 rate 54m
[13:25] <sniperjo> Would it be possible to flash the modded linux on a HP DreamScreen 100 and put another distro on it ?
[13:25] <bazhang> dhruvasagar, watch the language
[13:25] <iceroot> yakamo: that is a very very very bad idea
[13:25] <dhruvasagar> yakamo: that's a really messed up request lol
[13:25] <headkase314> yakamo, just encrypt it.  That way if they don't know the password they'll never get it.
[13:25] <jochenh> siimplexio, but that didnt help
[13:25] <glebihan> yakamo: why would you want to do that ???
[13:25] <sipior> yakamo: i can foresee some amusing failure modes for such a setup
[13:26] <dhruvasagar> bazhang: ok
[13:26] <iceroot> yakamo: if i want i would delete all your stuff by just login with wrong password
[13:26] <hsr> dhruvasagar: Please follow proper etiquette
[13:26] <dhruvasagar> hsr: :), alright
[13:26] <yakamo> i have a laptop and i just want to ensure my data is safe
[13:26] <erUSUL> yakamo: full disk encryption
[13:27] <bazhang> !encryption > yakamo
[13:27] <yakamo> erUSUL: will that take extra time for boot
[13:27] <dhruvasagar> yakamo: hardware level encryption is also an option...
[13:27] <erUSUL> yakamo: security has its costs
[13:27] <headkase314> yakamo, during install where the installer asks whether you want to log on automatically or require a password there is a third option which creates an encrypted home folder.  Use that option and nobody will ever get your data if your laptop is lost/stolen.
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> a whole 5+ more sec to boot.. vs...
[13:28] <yakamo> headkase314: ah ok i will do that, just like the idea of my data being wiped out
[13:28] <pie_time> erUSUL, someone could just boot into his system using their own kernel
[13:28] <hsr> dhruvasagar: Sorry but as far as i recall there used to be one third party software for your specific needs which i had in my softwares,, iwas trying to recall the name. I couldn't even find it in my softwares. Someone in this channel may help you soon!
[13:28] <dhruvasagar> hsr: sure :)
[13:28] <yakamo> but curious question would that screw up my drop box data
[13:28] <erUSUL> pie_time: if the disk is encrypted that "someone" needs the passphrase
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> yakamo:  would what screw it up..
[13:29] <headkase314> yakamo, that is secure enough.  Encryption cannot be cracked right now.  In another ten years or so when quantum computers come online then and only then will encryption be crackable.
[13:29] <hsr> Dr_Willis: Thanks for your help... ciao
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> rot13 your data. No one will ever guess that. :)
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  have fun.. im watching Futureama on tunapie :)
[13:29] <pie_time> bazhang, no kidding! lol bazhang im just trying to ask you, once i have it installed, what new software that only exists in 10.04 can i search for to make sure its up to date? :)
[13:29] <yakamo> Dr_Willis: my drop box is in the home folder
[13:29] <dhruvasagar> Hi guys, when I login, windows do not have borders or title bar and they come up in the top left corner, I can't do much.
[13:29] <hsr> Dr_Willis: Yeah i learnt its back... Great!
[13:30] <yakamo> so it would encrypt that data as well
[13:30] <yakamo> which would be much use to me on another device
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> yakamo:  its also mounted/syncned. so i doubt if it will get encrypted On the dropbox storage
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> yakamo:  but the encryption guide proberly mentions this.
[13:30] <dhruvasagar> The only sol I have found so far is, I go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effect -> Select Extra, for which it takes 3-4 seconds and after that everything is normal...
[13:31] <pie_time> erUSUL, people in debian told me you would need a kernel kept on an external media source for the encrypted system to be safe
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> if you mount a usb to /home/username/stuff and they have an encrypted home.. does the stuff on the usb get encrypted as well.....
[13:31] <yoosef> hi. ive been running ubuntu server 10.04 for a bit over month now. i use it as fileserver on my lan, its also running openssh-server. everything seems to work fine... but i think the server load averages are bit too high, for system only running samba & openssh-server. load avarages are anything between 1.00 - 1.20. most of the times its 1.00. got 4gb ram and pentium 2.8ghz installed.. any ideas what might cause that load?
[13:31] <Suprano> greetings
[13:31] <gezegenci> hi every one, i'm using ubuntu desktop 10.04 and in the panel there is a mail icon after i click mail icon i'm seeing "set mail" i want revome it from panel ?
[13:31] <Suprano> How can I use ion3 with two monitors, configured using xrandr
[13:32] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: about your audio recording, did you try checking the "Software playthrough" option in the "Recording" section of the preferences ?
[13:32] <erUSUL> pie_time: i think you lost me. full disk encryption needs a separate boot that is not encrypted ( for grub). that's all
[13:32] <Kris92> hello?
[13:32] <Kris92> any1 here??
[13:32] <pfg> Kris92: no
[13:32] <glebihan> !ask | Kris92
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> gezegenci:  be carefull if you right click/remove - you will remove the whole Indiactor applet. I did see some gmail notifier that used that Mail Icon to check your gmail. if thats what you perfer.

[13:35] <bazhang> Kris92, ubuntu support question?
[13:35] <nettezzaumana> magnetron: no, by pressing some <yes> button *in evolution* because he titillated it that evolution asked inane Q: "do you want to remove your addressbook" ?
[13:35] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: yea seems nice, I will try that tonight :), I hope it works
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> gezegenci:  there used to be about 30 comments on that url also that give other neat tips.. but they aparently all got reset
[13:36] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: thanks :)
[13:36] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: you're welcome
[13:36] <gezegenci> Dr_Willis: i don't want remove mail icon i want remove in mail icon "Set mail" or "S"
[13:36] <zidoh> i've got lucid installed, but i need the package libg2c0 (available apparently in jaunty and below).. is there a way to figure if it was moved to some other package name, in which case, what?
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> gezegenci:  no  idea then. i got the icon set to do my gmail.  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/gmailwatcher-another-way-to-get-gmail-alerts-in-the-ubuntu-messaging-menu/
[13:37] <gezegenci> Dr_Willis: thanks
[13:37] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: about your other issue, looks like your windows manager crashes at startup, are you using compiz ?
[13:37] <atlantide> He have this message "segfault at bf093fc8 ip 00a671f5 sp bf093fcc error 6 in libc-2.11.1.so[a0b000+142000]". someone would have solved this problem and how ?
[13:37] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: yeap
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> Im not even sure what i installed to get the gmail in my Mail indicator :) i need it for some other machines
[13:38] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: actually I even have a bug filed for compiz...but no response by anyone in that
[13:38] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: could you try "compiz --replace" in a terminal and see what output you get ?
[13:38] <redbullfx> hey everyone
[13:39] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/dhruva/.compiz/session/10f0b452f559b49b12837529358654100000018000008"
[13:39] <hsr> Dr_Willis: How are you able to open MRL in tunapie?
[13:39] <redbullfx> Can anyone tell me how to change the firefox icon or rhythmbox icon on my Panel? Top Panel???
[13:39] <iceroot> redbullfx: right click on it and choose propertie
[13:39] <soreau> dhruvasagar: Does dmesg show anything interesting at this point?
[13:40] <bazhang> redbullfx, right click properties, click on icon
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  i just use tunapie to watch video streams the browser finds normally.
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  then i tell it to record those.
[13:40] <hsr> Dr_Willis: browser?
[13:40] <redbullfx> iceroot, I dont have Icon there
[13:40] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: do you really want to use compiz or would metacity fill your needs ?
[13:40] <redbullfx> i have launcher properties
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  yes  the tunapie stream browser  thats 80% of the interface. :)
[13:41] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: I would like to use compiz...unless metacity can have the 'extra' visual effects
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> tunapie just shows all the streams  thats its main feature. the rest of the work it hands off to the backend tools. audcaious, or streamripper
[13:41] <hsr> Dr_Willis: yeah. But the TV interface opens vlc and vlc gives error as - Your input can't be opened:
[13:41] <hsr> VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://85.236.103.28:6000'. Check the log for details.
[13:41] <gezegenci> Dr_Willis: wowow t's amazing thanks again (gmail)
[13:41] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: no metacity doesn't
[13:42] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: hold on, looking if I can find something to help
[13:42] <dhruvasagar> soreau: what would be interesting? do you want to see the output !?
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> gezegenci:  theres like 3 apps that do that.. but they are really not that complex. but at least with them i dont have to keep a browser open, or run some other applets in the panel
[13:43] <hsr> Dr_Willis: What should i do in that case?
[13:43] <dhruvasagar> btw, if it helps, please have a look at this - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/625112
[13:43] <redbullfx> Here is what i have. I added the rhythmbox to my panel for  one click  Launch. But i would like to change the icon.  Cant find it??
[13:43] <redbullfx> Lucid
[13:43] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: you may try installing fusion-icon
[13:44] <BluesKaj> 'Happy Labour Day' folks
[13:44] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: it solved some issues with compiz for me some time ago (I'm not using compiz anymore)
[13:44] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: was that really for me !?
[13:44] <headkase314> BluesKaj, here in Canada! ;)
[13:44] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: ok installing
[13:44] <BluesKaj> headkase314, yup , canucksville it is ! ;0
[13:45] <soreau> dhruvasagar: fusion-icon isnt going to help anything
[13:45] <hsr> Dr_Willis: What should i do in that case?
[13:45] <dhruvasagar> glebihan: actually another interesting thing is, I use guake, and I like it to be transparent, but its not transparent anymore...I just see my wallpaper behind it, not the actual open windows etc...
[13:45] <dhruvasagar> soreau: hmm
[13:45] <dhruvasagar> soreau: any suggestions ?
[13:45] <soreau> dhruvasagar: Try this: Start compiz, then close all open windows and go to sys>prefs>startup>options and click remember currently running apps
[13:46] <DoubleString> hey all
[13:46] <ashwani> hi this is ashwani
[13:46] <dhruvasagar> soreau: hmmm
[13:47] <dhruvasagar> soreau: what about completely deleting /home/dhruva/.compiz/session folder !?
[13:47] <glebihan> dhruvasagar: for your settings, try using "ccsm", it should allow you to get your transparency back
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> hsr:  vlc is working fine with tunapie here for me.
[13:47] <soreau> dhruvasagar: yea, it wont hurt to delete .compiz

[13:50] <ashwani> and i know how to use ubuntu little bit
[13:51] <dhruvasagar> soreau: nope
[13:51] <glebihan> RainRain: it's asking you each, not once per session ?

[13:51] <dhruvasagar> soreau: I just deleted .compiz and reselected 'extra' visual effects & things seem to be back to normal
[13:51] <soreau> dhruvasagar: well it sounds like its fixed now
[13:51] <dhruvasagar> soreau: the only test now remains is to reboot and see if things will be normal on boot
[13:51] <hsr> ashwani: http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[13:51] <RainRain> glebihan: yes i understand - but it's still a problem for me - i may restart my pc often

[14:00] <amit> I m installing it using wubi
[14:00] <glebihan> amit: so when do you get this error with virtual disks ?
[14:00] <BluesKaj> W7 networking is awful, RainRain
[14:00] <glebihan> amit: ok
[14:00] <Solved> hello?
[14:00] <Solved> I am a beginner to ubuntu
[14:01] <RainRain> BluesKaj: i can imagine that you might - but i dont have time for unlocking things that i dont need unlocked ---- and also i find app installation draconian
[14:01] <Solved> Can anybody tell me simply how to get rid of old operating systems?

[14:02] <erUSUL> Solved: old kernel versions?
[14:02] <LincKraker> i'd like to ask one of the oldest questions to date...... nvidia or ati?
[14:02] <jochenh> hello! I cant open http://www.ralinktech.com, can anybody?
[14:02] <glebihan> amit: virtual disks creation can take a really long time, are you sure it crashed ?
[14:02] <RainRain> BluesKaj: by the way i hadnt heard about w7 networiking - is it a prob for very simple net connection ( just to a router ) or is it with big network administaration or something
[14:02] <BluesKaj> draconian? heh, that's funny ...where in windows can you find repository with add free apps that just work ? RainRain
[14:02] <amit> glebihan.. Yes I waited for 2 hours
[14:02] <amit> It does not move
[14:02] <erUSUL> Solved: 9.04 is an ubuntu version not kernel. what are you trying to do ?
[14:02] <Solved> I  download 9.04 a while ago and I cant get it to boot so i want to get rid of it
[14:03] <erUSUL> Solved: upgrade? from 9.04 to something newer?
[14:03] <amit> when I cancelled and restarted the pc, Ubuntu was there in boot menu
[14:03] <bazhang> Solved, 10.04 or 9.04
[14:03] <Solved> no i have 10.04 and 9.04 now
[14:03] <erUSUL> Solved: just install a newer version on top of it.
[14:03] <Solved> but 9.04 doesnt work
[14:03] <Solved> I allready have a newer version
[14:03] <bazhang> Solved, you are dual booting 9.04 and 10.04?
[14:03] <jochenh> hello! I cant open http://www.ralinktech.com, can anybody?
[14:03] <amit> I selected to boot using ubuntu, It initialized and at the point of setting partition it warn me
[14:03] <chiky_cin> hey, i am having trouble doing a pre-seed install of lucid. The preseed file syntax is fine, i checked by debconf-set-selections -c".
[14:04] <RainRain> BluesKaj: actually i think the repository is brilliant - but it's the 3 or 4 ( i havent figured it out yet ) ways of installing things, certain apps need multiple lines to be added to files - my journey to get all the apps i need working has been pretty harrowing compared to double click and run wizzard
[14:04] <erUSUL> Solved: then just fomat the partitions of the older version so you can use them for storing data
[14:04] <glebihan> amit: are you installing wubi on a fat32 partition ?
[14:04] <BluesKaj> RainRain, mostly windows machines all on the same network requiring W7 to comunicate..for instance vista and w7 need to belog to the same homegrouop , a pita to set up
[14:04] <amit> yes
[14:04] <erUSUL> Solved: gparted can be used for that

[14:04] <LincKraker> its time for me to get a new video card.. whats better supported in ubuntu? ATI or Nvidia? right now i have an ATI x1300
[14:04] <glebihan> amit: in that case, you won't be able to create virtual disks bigger than 4GB
[14:04] <Solved> ok
[14:04] <Solved> thanks
[14:04] <glebihan> amit: it's really recommne
[14:05] <glebihan> amit: it's really recommended to install on ntfs partition
[14:05] <amit> oh..
[14:05] <amit> thanks glebihan
[14:05] <glebihan> amit: you're welcome
[14:05] <amit> can I format the partition at the time of installation of Ubuntu?
[14:05] <BluesKaj> RainRain, what apps are you trying to install ?
[14:05] <llua> @LincKraker, Nvidia
[14:05] <RainRain> BluesKaj: will remember that tip[ thanks - i have an xp machine that i'll be connecting to .... but actually the main problem with ubuntu for me is that my server is running xp and has a NDAS drive attached - connecting to this seems borderline impossible
[14:05] <amit> I have 27 gb space for ubuntu
[14:06] <jochenh> sipior, thanks!
[14:06] <amit> I selected to install 20 gb
[14:06] <glebihan> amit: never used wubi, but I don't think so, you should format the partition before installing ubuntu
[14:06] <LincKraker> llua: are you sayin nvidia is better supported? or are you making a personal suggestion?
[14:06] <llua> @LincKraker, little of both.
[14:06] <LincKraker> llua: :) nVidia it is
[14:06] <RainRain> BluesKaj: i think i;ve installed about 30 programs for work -- some were easy but the overall process seems a bit over the top sometimes - ( some of the programs were really hard to get going compared to their windows versions
[14:07] <llua> @LincKraker, just a card imo. :|
[14:07] <jochenh> sipior, its up but there is a error on the page, or not?
[14:07] <pfg> RainRain: and how much did you pay for them ?
[14:07] <sipior> jochenh: i've no idea
[14:08] <RainRain> pfg: all free
[14:08] <pfg> RainRain: worth the time then ; )
[14:08] <glebihan> jochenh: yes there is an error on the page, but this has nothing to do with Ubuntu
[14:08] <amit> thanks glebihan you helped me a lot
[14:08] <RainRain> pfg: yes but the windows versions are also free
[14:08] <amit> bye
[14:08] <glebihan> amit: you're welcome :)
[14:08] <klikklak> hi all, I'm trying to debug this over the phone: we have a huaweiu e1820 3g modem we cannot find the device file to, how sdo I find it?
[14:09] <pfg> RainRain: ah, oh well, no adverts, spyware or other shit ?
[14:09] <RainRain> pfg:  of course windows is not itself but i'm not convinced
[14:09] <bazhang> pfg, language please
[14:09] <BluesKaj> RainRain, ok so you're talking about a work environment , something aai haven't had to deal with. I think I can understand the challenges there.
[14:09] <pfg> RainRain: thats life, security alone dude
[14:09] <jochenh> glebihan, thanks
[14:09] <RainRain> pfg: no i mean for instance an opensource windows version being easier to install than it's ubuntu version ( not equivolent )
[14:09] <pfg> BlueEagle: we are all Linux Ubuntu, all 500 of us and we love this shit :D
[14:10] <bazhang> pfg, stop the cursing
[14:10] <MrUnagi> anyone know of an open source way to create a virtual display?
[14:10] <pfg> bazhang: thats cursing ? you should meet my mother...
[14:10] <bazhang> pfg, keep it g-rated.
[14:10] <dhruvasagar> :/
[14:10] <chiky_cin> i have added pkgsel/include in the preseed file, but it is not installing those packages.
[14:10] <headkase314> I have a problem.  My wireless -> http://pastebin.com/NsCrzSdN seems to freeze every once in a while.  When I lose the connection everything becomes unresponsive and eventually the display will turn to vertical bars and I have to power cycle the computer.  Any other information I should provide?  Laptop, Acer Aspire 5100.
[14:11] <RainRain> BluesKaj: yes i think for personal ubuntu would be the king but not convinced in a complex work environment,,,,, but hey ,,,,, im still here !!!
[14:11] <chiky_cin>  I am following this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/amd64/preseed-contents.html
[14:11] <dhruvasagar> what's the alternate to compiz !?
[14:11] <BluesKaj> pfg, I'm on both gnome and kde , so I'm a believer :)
[14:11] <pfg> bazhang: ah, fair enough
[14:11] <dhruvasagar> can I have transparency in metacity !?
[14:11] <gardar> not without compiz
[14:12] <pfg> BlueEagle: cool as the ROI is incredible
[14:12] <dhruvasagar> gardar: ok, is there any alternative to compiz ?
[14:12] <BluesKaj> RainRain, one thing , ubuntu networking is superior in many ways to windows ...daughter has a mac and her printer is being used as a network printer for my 2 linuxboxes
[14:12] <bodwick> dhruvasager yes, turn it on in gconf-editor
[14:12] <sipior> pfg: might want to check your tab-complete there...
[14:12] <soreau> dhruvasagar: Actually, you can enable metacity compositing
[14:13] <dhruvasagar> soreau: compositing ?
[14:13] <Oer> !iptables > Oer
[14:13] <pfg> sipior: :D correct, thanks
[14:13] <xmu> fixed channel mon0 : -1
[14:13] <RainRain> BluesKaj: thanks - i'll def keep the networking thing in mind
[14:13] <bazhang> xmu, support question?
[14:14] <BluesKaj> RainRain, all OSs have their quirks and drawbacks , it's a matter of what leaves you the least frustrated :)
[14:14] <Dr_David_banner> Hello, I have a question
[14:15] <Dr_David_banner> I have ubuntu installed on my netbook, It only boots when I have key activity.
[14:15] <RainRain> BluesKaj: never a truer word spoken !!!
[14:15] <chiky_cin> can anyone please help me with ubuntu preseed install?
[14:15] <soreau> dhruvasagar: using gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager
[14:15] <xmu> when i use aircrack-ng  ,   i come accross the problem _   "fixed channel mon0:  -1" on the right top    and  then  when i start aireplay , theres "the AP's channel is 9 but ..is -1""
[14:15] <soreau> dhruvasagar: this should enable metacity compositing, for basic shadows and transparency
[14:15] <dhruvasagar> soreau: checkin
[14:16] <bazhang> xmu, try #aircrack-ng
[14:16] <xmu> bazhang,  yes , i'm now using aircrack-ng
[14:17] <bazhang> xmu, that's a channel.  /join #aircrack-ng
[14:17] <dhruvasagar> soreau: ok, how do I switch to metacity from compiz ?
[14:17] <xmu> bazhang,  ok  :D  thx
[14:17] <soreau> dhruvasagar: set the visual effects to None
[14:18] <dhruvasagar> soreau: done
[14:18] <dhruvasagar> soreau: the guake window is transparent, so does that mean transparency in metacity is working ?
[14:18] <soreau> dhruvasagar: yea
[14:19] <Whacka> Hey, trying to compile a Java program (not in repos, no .debs etc.) and ant crashes saying my "compliance level" of Java is 1.5 when I have 1.6.
[14:19] <dhruvasagar> soreau: ok thanks a lot man, i'll reboot and confirm if things are fine at boot
[14:19] <soreau> dhruvasagar: It will only allow for programs that already have transparency support. It cant make any window transparent like compiz
[14:19] <dhruvasagar> brb
[14:19] <dhruvasagar> soreau: ok
[14:19] <hsr> Dr_Willis: There?
[14:22] <chiky_cin> can i somehow check if preseed file is being parsed? Or debug the whole process?
[14:23] <Taios> Hey guys - im having a seriously annoying mouse problem - tried asking on forums, tried lots of google and tried asking one of my Linux friends...basically, it's wireless and keeps randomly disconnecting and wont reconnect...but this does not happen in windows!
[14:24] <Solved> Is it possible to rename old operating systems?
[14:24] <Solved> in the list of operating systems to boot
[14:24] <hsr> Solved: Yes
[14:25] <glebihan> Solved: yes you have to edit grub configuration files
[14:25] <glebihan> Solved: are you using grub1 or grub2
[14:25] <matrixblue> Solved: edit the /boot/grub/menu.list or /boot/grub/grub.conf file
[14:25] <hsr> Solved: Its advisable to not to, but you can do that by findind grub-config files
[14:25] <jrib> !grub2 | Solved
[14:26] <hsr> Solved: It would be better to follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[14:27] <philinux> Solved: also see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[14:27] <Taios> any ideas?
[14:27] <matrixblue> Solved: /boot/grub/grub.cfg*
[14:28] <bazhang> matrixblue, you dont edit that directly, ever
[14:30] <jrib> matrixblue: read the top of that file :)
[14:30] <headkase314> Whenever my wireless internet disconnects and tries to reconnect it eventually freezes the computer with vertical bars displayed and I must power cycle.  lshw for wireless -> http://pastebin.com/NsCrzSdN thinking it is a resource conflict I just did this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9323832&postcount=1 (added model=acer to modprobe) and this gives me an additional microphone in my sound audio setting
[14:30] <headkase314> s.  So, is there anything else I can do or do I now wait to see if it freezes again?
[14:31] <matrixblue> bazhang, jrib: Point taken
[14:32] <Keith_> hey everyone here that can help me out?
[14:32] <bazhang> Keith_, ask a question
[14:33] <matrixblue> headkase314: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[14:33] <Keith_> i am doing the switch over from windows 7 to ubuntu netbook, and i tred it twice and it wont work...
[14:33] <sipior> headkase314: it invariably freezes when you disconnect and then reconnect the wireless network? no other time?
[14:33] <Keith_> i am using the iso and saving it to the usb drive....but when i get to the screen to intsall it dowsnt move
[14:34] <headkase314> matrixblue, Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with ppa:xorg-edgers/drivers-only enabled (my first attempt to fix the freezing) and everything else out of the box, just installed around 3 days ago.
[14:34] <sipior> headkase314: the fact that the video behaves strangely would seem to point to a deeper root cause. does the machine get especially hot?
[14:34] <Keith_> windows 7 starter isnt working for me
[14:34] <aeon-ltd> !usb | Keith_
[14:34] <Taios>  Hey guys - im having a seriously annoying mouse problem - tried asking on forums, tried lots of google and tried asking one of my Linux friends...basically, it's wireless and keeps randomly disconnecting and wont reconnect...but this does not happen in windows! <--- no-one any ideas?? Im doing CS at uni so really want to actually be able to use Ubuntu well!!
[14:34] <matrixblue> headkase314: YOu should use the 32-bit edition unless you have more than 4 gigs of RAM
[14:34] <headkase314> sipior, it is dual boot with Vista and the other OS does not exhibit any issues when booted.
[14:35] <Keith_> yes i did follow them ijust and confused
[14:35] <Arthur___> i want to use eubuntu can i install the eubuntu desktop ? sudo apt-get install ????
[14:35] <headkase314> matrixblue, I know 32-bit is recommended but 64-bit gives 3-4% performance improvement at a cost of a small increase in storage requirements.
[14:35] <sletz> hi, which version of JACK is in Maverick? JACK1 or JACK2 ?
[14:36] <jussi> both iirc
[14:36] <bazhang> Arthur___, sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop
[14:36] <bazhang> sletz, try in #ubuntu+1
[14:36] <Arthur___> ok its edubuntu dua thanks!
[14:36] <matrixblue> headkase314: Understood but it could be a problem with incompatible drivers
[14:36] <philinux> sletz: apt-cache policy jack
[14:36] <philinux> jack:
[14:36] <philinux>   Installed: (none)  Candidate: 3.1.1+cvs20050801-26 Version table:     3.1.1+cvs20050801-26 0
[14:36] <headkase314> sipior, the freeze is always preceded by losing my wireless internet connection and then it trying to reconnect
[14:36] <FloodBot1> philinux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:37]  * philinux dont know how that happened
[14:37] <headkase314> matrixblue, the wireless drivers are built-in.  There are no drivers listed in "Hardware Drivers" and wireless works straight from install and in a live session as well.
[14:38] <sipior> headkase314: ah, so you're not turning off the connection. the loss of wireless is a symptom, not a cause. does anything interesting turn up in your logs that corresponds to the timing of the crashes?
[14:38] <headkase314> sipior, which log would you like me to pastebin?
[14:39] <sipior> headkase314: i'm not scrounging through your logs for you. have a look in /var/log/messages to start, and match the times up with when the machine was known to be behaving strangely.
[14:39] <headkase314> sipior, ok thanks.  Will look in that log now.
[14:40] <sipior> headkase314: also, does the machine always crash after a certain amount of time?
[14:40] <Keith_> everytime I do the universal program for the ubuntu progrss it keeps saying stuff like file invalid or what no...is it possible to hook my netbook to my desktop and just transger? my windows 7 crashed and it just loads the boot page
[14:42] <Keith_> hey u free for some assistance
[14:43] <TxMatt> Hello.. Is anyone els having the problem with your torrent client freezing, or freezing while your watching a youtube videos, or ptretty much downloading anything makes my box freeze bad now...
[14:43] <TxMatt> It started after I upgraded to 10.04
[14:43] <headkase314> sipior, I do not know what I am looking for in those logs.  I just modified my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and added the line: "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" and that gives me an additional microphone in my sound properties.  I did this because I think it is a resource conflict.  I came across that setting in an unrelated issue and have now reapplied it and I guess I'll just have to wait and see if my laptop fr
[14:43] <headkase314> eezes again.
[14:44] <BluesKaj> Keith_, dual booting ?

[14:45] <neru> can any user assist me?
[14:45] <headkase314> I have an Acer Aspire 5100 and have not been able to get the built-in microphone working (that was the previous issue I came across that setting with and no-one else has succeeded in getting the internal mic working either.  So I undid the setting and now just reapplied it)
[14:45] <boywonder> does anyone know about unable live media image?
[14:45] <TxMatt> should i just reinstall a older version of ubuntu?
[14:45] <philinux> neru: Ask away
[14:45] <philinux> TxMatt: Try Deluge it's in the repo
[14:45] <neru> is macromedia flash available for this OS
[14:45] <sipior> headkase314: the log messages are individually timestamped. do any messages appear immediately before a time when the machine was known to be acting strangely? when did this behaviour start, by the way? (recently, i take it?)
[14:46] <philinux> neru: Yes
[14:46] <yowshi> gah keyboard interfering with mouse again
[14:46] <TxMatt> I've used about 5 diff torrent clients, they all seem to freeze up for some reason..ths has never happened before while running a ubuntu os..
[14:46] <headkase314> sipior, I just installed about 2 days ago and the issue is intermittent enough that it has likely been present the entire time.
[14:46] <TxMatt> idk if it was a update that caused it or what
[14:46] <philinux> neru: Browse a site that needs it and the os will offer to install it.
[14:47] <Keith_> No i want to completely get rid of windows 7
[14:47] <neru> oh ok thanks :D
[14:47] <TxMatt> and ive reformated a couple times to, without added the updates..
[14:47] <TxMatt> didn't help

[14:47] <Keith_> i just tried again and didnt work
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> TxMatt:  try a differnt torrent client. or throttle it down perhaps?

[14:49] <TxMatt> Dr_Willis: I've tried that, my connection spped is 12mbs and i knocked my download speed to only 300K/bs, still didn't help..
[14:50] <TxMatt> it would freeze my whole box
[14:50] <TxMatt> still
[14:50] <neru> TxMatt you're a loser
[14:50] <neru> Screw ubuntu, GET A LIFE
[14:50] <neru> Geeeeeeeeeeez

[14:50] <smw> !ops | neru
[14:50] <neru> That you are.
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> TxMatt:  try a differnt client. somthing seems odd..
[14:50] <TxMatt> Yeah it does..
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> TxMatt:  what client are you using anyway>
[14:51] <TxMatt> Ive used about 5 diff clients..
[14:51] <TxMatt> other people on forums have been having the same problem so i'm not the only one.
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> TxMatt:  ive found its often the Upload speeds that lag my machines
[14:51] <boywonder> does anyone know about unable live media image?
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> TxMatt:  ive also been using the latest Deluge from PPA's thats been working very well for me
[14:52] <headkase314> sipior, thank you for the responses.  Next time it freezes I will check /var/log/messages right away.  Are there any other specific logs I should check?  If not then I'll have to consider this all the help I can receive until it happens again..
[14:53] <TxMatt> I'll try it again, right now..
[14:53] <BluesKaj> TxMatt, this fallacy that certain clients are faster than is just that , it's how you configure the client bandwidth and NAT that determines your speeds ..make sure your router opens the same ports in the client
[14:53] <boywonder> dum de dum what a way!
[14:53] <DeathCubeK> guys can someone please tell me how to install linux on my mac
[14:53] <TxMatt> Its not only the torrents, its when i unrar, install updates, eveything that has to do with downloading..
[14:53] <DeathCubeK> icant figure it out
[14:53] <TxMatt> and its not cause i have a shity box..
[14:54] <AndyGraybeal> what is a popular or recommended way to edit a bootable iso file?
[14:54] <Keith_> when i do the universal usb drive for ubuntu..it comes up with a window that says a whole lot of things file broken
[14:54] <Keith_> any ideas
[14:54] <smw> DeathCubeK, be more specific. Is there a specific problem you are having?
[14:54] <gryllida> `make[1]: lex: Command not found' -- what package can I install to fix it?
[14:54] <Keith_> it jsut did it again
[14:54] <TxMatt> Sysinfo for 'sm0k3': Linux 2.6.32-24-generic running , CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ at 1000 MHz (2004 bogomips), HD: 425/1154GB, RAM: 1003/1949MB, 175 proc's, 52.12min up
[14:54] <sipior> headkase314: check /var/log/kern.log as well (i can't remember if those entries are copied in messages) does the machine always crash after a certain amount of time, or when you're running some specific program? without more data, it's difficult to speculate at the moment.
[14:55] <Keith_> any ideas
[14:56] <hz282> sup
[14:56] <TxMatt> see,  even while downlaoding deluge from the repos it freezes..
[14:56] <TxMatt> =\
[14:56] <BluesKaj> TxMatt, then you have a networking issue
[14:57] <TxMatt> my dl is 12mbs it shouldnt take longer then 2/3 minunts to dl it..
[14:57] <hz282> hey how do i connect to another irc like irc.awesomeric.net?
[14:57] <gschwepp> Is it correct, that i can just use special programs if i connect 2 computers for grid distribution?
[14:57] <headkase314> sipior, I just checked that log.  In both that and messages there appears a line: "Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -249305204 ns)" perhaps that is it?  I just changed a hardware configuration for the sound (gives me an additional microphone which is correct) so I think I should wait and see now and if it happens again check both those logs and come back?
[14:57] <TxMatt> Yerah, I'm about to call these tards and bitch...
[14:57] <TxMatt> yeah*
[14:57] <Keith_> hey u free?
[14:57] <Keith_> i need some assistance
[14:58] <BluesKaj> hz282, /server irc.server.whatever
[14:58] <hz282> thnks
[14:58] <BluesKaj> hz282, in the server textbox
[14:59] <sipior> headkase314: i doubt the clock is the problem (that's only a quarter of a second delta anyway). i think you should wait until it happens again, and then pastebin the log entries immediately preceding the trouble, so we can have a look.
[14:59] <Keith_> I need HELP i have school work to do and i cant get ubuntu on my netbook...my windows 7 crashed....does anyone here have yahoo messenger so we can speak?
[14:59] <TxMatt> calling my isp right now....
[14:59] <TxMatt> lets see what they have to say.
[15:00] <headkase314> sipior, ok - thank you for the help and that is what I will do.  If it happens again I will pastebin the tail of messages and kern.log.  So, again, thank you.
[15:00] <sipior> headkase314: best of luck, hopefully it will get sorted soon
[15:00] <gschwepp> Keith_: maybe i can help you but not with yahoo messenger /quer gschwepp and tell me your problem
[15:01] <headkase314> sipior, I hope so too as I greatly prefer Ubuntu to Vista! ;)  Thanks.

[15:11] <rockhopper>  
[15:12] <Keith_> my windows 7 crashed so i need to use the univerasl usb installer
[15:13] <bodwick> Kaith_ can you run Ubuntu form pedndrive without installing or does it also crush?
[15:14] <Keith_> wont do that either
[15:14] <Omicr0n`> Keith, HP mini ##??
[15:15] <pkkm> Is there a good Linux DVD authoring program, apart from dvdstyler and kmediafactory (both don't work on my computer)?
[15:16] <headkase314> pkkm, DeVeDe
[15:16] <subspider> my webcam is not working
[15:16] <headkase314> !info DeVeDe
[15:16] <rockhopper> lol
[15:16] <Pici> !info devede | headkase314
[15:16] <rblst> i cannot use my logitech webcam with skype under ubuntu 9.10, this has been so for some of the previous releases too, although it worked fine under 8.04, is it only my impression that ubuntu is actually getting worse?
[15:16] <Keith_> hp mini 110
[15:16] <Pici> headkase314: Package names are case-sensitive.
[15:16] <Stefanos90> hello, i have conected a windows computer to my router via wi-fi, how can i watch what he has inside via terminal?
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> pkkm:  i wonder why they dont work. most are just front ends to the various backend tools
[15:16] <headkase314> Thanks Pici, thats the one! ;)
[15:17] <bodwick> rblst skype doesn't detect your cam?
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> I use DeVeDe all the time.. fairly simple. but it works well
[15:17] <rockhopper> Stefanos90, you need him to share his folders
[15:18] <rockhopper> and connect through windows sharing server with his ip!
[15:18] <Stefanos90> yes he is
[15:18] <xkcd_clone> !launchpad
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> Stefanos90:  clarfy what you mean 'watch what he has inside'
[15:18] <Stefanos90> i need to transfer some files is it posible
[15:19] <rblst> bodwick, it does detect it, but when i test it, nothing appears and cpu goes up close to 100%
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> Stefanos90:  you can access windows shares from the command line  if you mount them to a directory.
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> Stefanos90:  or he could use winscp and access the linux box and transfer files over. that may be easier.
[15:19] <rockhopper> Dr_Willis, as he's said that the windows pc folders're shared, i think he wants to know how to access them
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> Stefanos90:   this is on a local lan right?
[15:19] <rockhopper> Stefanos90, did he share with enough permissions for you to access?
[15:19] <pkkm> Dr_Willis, these backend tools crash during creating a DVD, in both cases.
[15:19] <rblst> bodwick, i have two logitech cams, both used to work okay, now i cannot use either
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> Stefanos90:  you could right click on some directory (like /home/Yourusername/Public and share it.. and let him connect to you. it often works better that way
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> pkkm:  thats odd.. but these other tools might use the same backend tools.
[15:20] <rockhopper> Stefanos90, or you can open some folder, and click on file and connect to server
[15:20] <pkkm> Dr_Willis, I'll try them and see.
[15:21] <rockhopper> then you'll have to select windows share and enter his ip address and conenct
[15:21] <rblst> bodwick, i have tried loading libraries, changing xml con file, reverting to earlier versions, installing static version from medibuntu; no luck
[15:21] <tom][v> Hi, I'm using Apache/2.2.12 with wsgi & django to write an intranet app on an "Linux 2.6.31-22-server  #63-Ubuntu SMP" box here. Problem is: the web app works fine while I happen to have an ssh window logged in, but whenever I'm not ssh'ed in apache returns 403 forbidden.
[15:21] <Omicr0n`> Keith, try "Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 Karmic" instead...
[15:22] <rockhopper> tom][v, did you give enough permissons for the folders shared for others to acess?
[15:22] <rockhopper> *acces
[15:22] <Keith_> ok
[15:22] <Stefanos90> places>network?
[15:22] <rockhopper> Omicr0n`, is there any advantage or changes from UNR 9.10 to 10.4
[15:23] <rockhopper> Stefanos90, open some folder
[15:23] <simplexio> tom][v: do you run those apps from your homedi?
[15:23] <rockhopper> in your computer
[15:23] <rblst> anybody here who can help me using my logitech cam with skype in 10.04?
[15:23] <Stefanos90> yes
[15:23] <Keith_> ok
[15:23] <rockhopper> click on file
[15:23] <Matthes> when I run 'jockey' it doesn't says anything about my  radepon mobility x1300  . I want to install the ati/amd drivers because the ones I currently use seem to make some progs doen't work very well
[15:23] <rockhopper> Stefanos90, then click on conenct to server
[15:24] <andretti> i folled the libdvdcss instructions, but I'm still getting "Add. Sense: Read of scrambled sector without authentication" when I try to copy VIDEO_TS files off of a dvd (the dvd plays fine in totem though). Has anyone run into this before?
[15:24] <suigeneris> from the output of inonv -l, what is the different between ISO_8859-9 and ISO8859-9 ?
[15:24] <Matthes> how can I install these >original< drivers?
[15:24] <andretti> i ran the install-css.sh script
[15:24] <rockhopper> Omicr0n`, Does UNR 10.4 have any advantage or significant  change from UNR 9.10?
[15:24] <bodwick> rblst does cheese detect  those webcams?
[15:24] <histo> rockhopper: updated packages
[15:25] <rblst> bodwick, i'll have to check
[15:25] <histo> rockhopper: faster boot times can be seen with 10.04
[15:25] <histo> rockhopper: also 10.10 will show the biggest changes to UNR with the new unity interface.
[15:25] <rockhopper> histo, I was wondering coz, in 10.04, my brightness keys won't work...
[15:26] <rockhopper> histo, but i can change it from the terminal!
[15:26] <tom][v> simplexio: yes from my home dir
[15:27] <histo> rockhopper: you can boot to 10.04 and see if it helps with your brightness issues.  The install disk is fully bootable. Youc an even make a usb key to boot from.
[15:27] <rblst> bodwick, yes cheese can use the cam, but CPU load is 100%, so it's practically useless
[15:27] <rockhopper> histo, I'm currently using the 10.04
[15:27] <tom][v> rockhopper: yes it's all universally readable
[15:27] <rockhopper> is that the one available?
[15:28] <histo> rockhopper: okay then whats the question I thought you were asking about changes from 9.10
[15:28] <rockhopper> I haven't tried the 9.10
[15:28] <bodwick> rblst which process usues most cpu when trying to use the webcam?
[15:28] <rockhopper> Yeah, i wan't to give 9.10 a try if the brightness keys work in it!
[15:28] <Matthes> when I run 'jockey' it doesn't says anything about my  radepon mobility x1300  . I want to install the ati/amd drivers because the ones I currently use seem to make some progs doen't work very well
[15:28] <Matthes> how can I install these >original< drivers?
[15:28] <rockhopper> if so, i can run it until 10.10's released
[15:28] <livinglyif3> How do I know what Graphics Card driver I'm using ???
[15:28] <histo> rockhopper: you can try the beta of 10.10
[15:28] <rockhopper> ok
[15:28] <histo> rockhopper: ubuntu.com/testing
[15:29] <rockhopper> histo, thanks!
[15:29] <BluesKaj> livinglyif3, lspci | grep VGA
[15:29] <tom][v> "[error] [client 10.0.0.195] (13)Permission denied: access to /url/ denied, referer: http://url/"
[15:29] <rblst> bodwick, cheese uses above 90%
[15:29] <headkase314> Matthes, with Ubuntu 10.04 the X-server has changed enough that you cannot use AMD/Ati legacy drivers which is what you would need for an X1300.  So, you must use the Open-Source drivers that are built-in when you install or go back to an older version of Ubuntu.
[15:30] <Matthes> headkase314: means there is no chance to run crashing progs? :(
[15:30] <avinashhm> hi , i am on 10.04 ubuntu, running xchat ... can we automate logging to a network and list of channels ..[every time we start xchat ]
[15:30] <headkase314> Matthes, the open-source drivers are improving but it is slow-going.  Like see what it's like in 10.10 or 11.04
[15:31] <Matthes> hmm, ok thanks
[15:32] <PsychiC> hey guys ubuntu install messed up my mbr and now I cant login to my windows sys on sda1.... Ive got 2 winxp os (sda1&2) and the grub.cfg shows the second os tries to boot from hd0,1 but it will actualy start sda2 ?
[15:32] <bodwick> rblst quick google shows it could be pulse autio related
[15:32] <rockhopper> histo, is upgrading from 10.04 better or installing the fresh 10.10 beta better?
[15:32] <headkase314> Matthes, you can also do: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/drivers-only" then "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get upgrade".  But if you do this you may occasionally run into a broken driver.  That repository is bleeding-edge open-source drivers.
[15:32] <bodwick> rblst try disabling auto-respawn, kill pulse audio and test if the issue persists
[15:32] <histo> rockhopper: it's allt he same however I will caution that its Beta and not recomended for production machines. Discussion on 10.10 takes place in #ubuntu+1 channel.
[15:33] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, sudo update-grub
[15:33] <rblst> bodwick, i wonder how video and audio is connected, but thanks, i'll do just what you suggest
[15:33] <TxMatt> lol@at&t not having support for LInux.
[15:33] <keith_> i got to the ubuntu install screen and nothign happens any ideas? do i click enter on install?
[15:33] <keith_> it just flashes
[15:33] <bodwick> rblst http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-886560.html
[15:34] <bodwick> rblst check it out, maybe it'll help
[15:34] <rblst> bodwick, thanks man
[15:34] <bodwick> rblst :)
[15:34] <tom][v> ok, this could be to blame? /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/g3aNUP80
[15:34] <simplexio> tom][v: are you using homedirs which are mounted only when you login in ? (crypted?)
[15:35] <the_german> hi i try to configure my /etc/sudoers so that every user can use "chown" and "mount" ...The syntax is correct but I doesnt seem to work! Any ideas?
[15:35] <tom][v> simplexio: yes encrypted
[15:35] <simplexio> tom][v: sounds like you need to move data to some dir which is allways mounted
[15:36] <outer_space> how do u make a screencast in ubuntu?
[15:36] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, I've ran the command, rebooted, choose the OS on /dev/sda1 , boots into the second one (/dev/sda2)
[15:36] <popey> !screencast | outer_space
[15:36] <histo> outer_space: gtkrecordmydesktop
[15:36] <outer_space> ty folks
[15:36] <popey> outer_space: there's a new one called kazam which works in 10.04
[15:36] <popey> outer_space: but its broken in 10.10
[15:36] <simplexio> tom][v: /var/www/ should work
[15:36] <histo> outer_space: gtk-recordmydesktop sry.
[15:37] <simplexio> tom][v: or create /home/something which isnt crypted
[15:39] <tom][v> simplexio: that makes sense, I'll try. thanks for now!
[15:39] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, does the grub menu show your windows entry , like windows xp or 7 or?
[15:40] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, it shows both winxp on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 (which it should) , but either one will boot into /dev/sda2
[15:41] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, /dev/sda2 is which OS?
[15:41] <PsychiC> winxp (2nd)
[15:41] <BluesKaj> the first is probly the rescue partition for windows
[15:42] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, negative, both are full winxp installs
[15:42] <Diehard> hey guys, do you recommend upgrade to 10.10?
[15:42] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, what's your linux partition ?
[15:42] <headkase314> !maverick | Diehard
[15:42] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, /dev/sda8 is ubuntu root
[15:44] <BluesKaj> what about grub is it showing up listing the OSs , I don't understand why you keep referring to the the dev partitions
[15:44] <sniperjo> does anyone know the minimum spec needed for vlc to play SD video ?
[15:44] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, grub shows all the OS'ses , ubuntu, memtest, winxp, winxp, debian
[15:45] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, did you install windows after linux was installed ?
[15:45] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, no, ubuntu was last
[15:46] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, you have a lot of partitions and it keeps booting windows and ignoring your choices , is that correct?
[15:46] <TxMatt> whoa
[15:46] <TxMatt> at&t need to get some linux techs
[15:47] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, it only ignores which winxp I choose, it will boot ubuntu and debian. Both winxp lines will boot winxp on /dev/sda2.
[15:48] <tom][v> In fact while I'm here: anyone know how can I fix this error: sudo apache2ctl graceful; "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName" (thanks :-)
[15:49] <dotblank> My WM is completely messed up.. windows don't redraw themselve correctly, don't minimize or switch desktops
[15:49] <ChogyDan> tom][v: I've had that for ages, but I don't use my webserver at all.  I suspect that it is just a minor misconfig that can be ignored
[15:49] <dotblank> also when a new window pops up it is under existing windows
[15:50] <Silivrenion> hey there. I'm trying to ping my windows computer on the network from a neighboring ubuntu computer, and can't seem to locate the correct hostname for it
[15:50] <ChogyDan> dotblank: when did this start happening?
[15:50] <azexian> hey, having problem playing a hd film on my machine, bit weird, video plays perfectly with mplayer, but no sound. On vlc I get sound, but the video is so jumpy it's unwatchable, any ideas?
[15:50] <Silivrenion> windows -> ubuntu names work, but the other way i'm having difficulty
[15:50] <webus> hi! i have a problem in boot process on ubuntu. when system startup sometimes my keyboard and mouse doesn't work. i push power button and ubuntu reboot after 60 secs.
[15:50] <dotblank> ChogyDan, hard to remember.. its been going on a while now
[15:51] <Silivrenion> i've tried, for example, ping hostname, ping \\workgroup\hostname, and all come up unreachable, but pinging the IP address works
[15:51] <dotblank> ChogyDan, I did install nvidia's latest with a ppa
[15:51] <gschwepp> webus: are they plugged in directly or over an kvm switch?
[15:51] <tom][v> ChogyDan: ok, thanks.
[15:51] <Silivrenion> am I missing something?
 directly, ps/2
[15:51] <dotblank> ChogyDan, I don't think that did it tho
[15:51] <ChogyDan> dotblank: maybe you should disable compiz
[15:51] <gschwepp> webus: im just interested because i get sometimes the problem while using kvm switch.
[15:51] <dotblank> hmm interesting...
[15:51] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, could it be something to do with --fs-uuid ?
[15:52] <gschwepp> webus: didnt really find a answer to that question sorry
[15:52] <dotblank> ChogyDan, I went to disable it and it says mutter isn't running
[15:52] <tjubalauba> soreau, Dr_Willis: Thanx for the geany proposal... instant love!
[15:52] <dotblank> and I can't enable / disable anything
[15:52] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, open /boot/grub/grub.cfg , check to see whether your first partition is listed
[15:52] <tjubalauba> ...some hours late
[15:52] <ChogyDan> Silivrenion: I don't think the hostname like that is pingable
 if i push num lock button in boot process everyting ok.  i think ubuntu can't see my keyboard and mouse if they inactive in boot process
[15:52] <soreau> tjubalauba: tep
[15:52] <soreau> yep*
[15:52] <drdozer> Hi - I'm having trouble with ubuntu 10.10 - which room do I ask in?
[15:52] <ChogyDan> dotblank: Sys > Prefs > Appearance > Visual Affects > None  ?
[15:53] <dotblank> Also I originally had compiz off
[15:53] <headkase314> !maverick | drdozer
[15:53] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, or /dev/sda1 equivalent
[15:53] <dotblank> ChogyDan, let me get you a screen cap
[15:53] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, lemme try to post it @ pastie.org
[15:53] <azexian> hey, having problem playing a hd film on my machine, bit weird, video plays perfectly with mplayer, but no sound. On vlc I get sound, but the video is so jumpy it's unwatchable, any ideas?
[15:54] <simplexio> tom][v: that ".. servers name.." i there because your hosts file , dns server give different name than some apache config file. and i have too , dosnt cause any problems ( that im aware f)
[15:54] <erdnase> I get an error when I try to save a .jpg file using GIMP. It says:... nevermind, I tried to save it again and it worked. >_> Weird.
[15:54] <dotblank> ChogyDan, http://imgur.com/uoXdf.png
[15:54] <erdnase> But it tells me something about the memory and the plugin.
[15:54] <ChogyDan> dotblank: is this lucid?
[15:55] <dotblank> ChogyDan, yes
[15:55] <Silivrenion> ChogyDan, it's pingable, because IP address pinging works
[15:55] <ChogyDan> dotblank: I would try removing the nvidia stuff, myself.  Thought... I wonder what mutter is
[15:55] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, brb , upgradinq to maverick requires reboot
[15:56] <dotblank> ChogyDan, I needed nvidia latest to run sc2 in wine
[15:56] <Silivrenion> the issue I have is that I don't know how ubuntu formats hostnames for a given windows network resource
[15:56] <ChogyDan> Silivrenion: maybe try smb:// or something
[15:57] <ChogyDan> dotblank: well, it is easy enough to reinstall, and if removing works, at least you have narrowed down the issue
[15:57] <dotblank> ChogyDan, I tried running mutter --replace
[15:57] <Silivrenion> it's not restricted to samba... this is a problem mostly for synergy2, since i need a valid hostname. I can see the windows machine in ubuntu's samba enumerator, but i just can't find the hostname >.<
[15:57] <dotblank> it seem to sorta work
[15:57] <dotblank> but now I get Window manager warning: Missing composite extension required for compositing
[15:57] <ChogyDan> dotblank: what is mutter?
[15:58] <keith2> Question: Updated some packages this morning, and my shut off button I pinned on the taskbar became unusable. I deleted and pinned it again, but I wonder what caused it, anyone know?
[15:58] <dotblank> ChogyDan, no idea seems to be a WM
[15:58] <Karen_m> with debian-archive-keyring being updated, nothing is funky eh with any repo?
[15:58] <RandomTime> My wireless is periodicly disconnecting after upgrading to 10.10 beta.
[15:58] <Silivrenion> nevermind, it was hostname.local. avahi-resolve-address -a did it
[16:00] <dotblank> ChogyDan, Wow that was odd
[16:00] <Karen_m> why would : debian-archive-keyring    be needing an upgrade?  Is there a way to read the changelog before I commit to this dist-upgrade?
[16:00] <dotblank> My whole WM exploded
[16:00] <ChogyDan> dotblank: try metacity --replace
[16:01] <Nepherius> is lubuntu lighter then xubuntu ?
[16:01] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, http://pastie.org/1141599
[16:01] <dotblank> I restarted x and everything seems to work now
[16:01] <dotblank> Now I remember! I installed gnome shell
[16:02] <ChogyDan> dotblank: mmm hm, I think mutter is part of gnome-shell, a metacity replacement

[16:07] <remoteCTRL> hi guys!
[16:07] <ricdanger> doesnt work
[16:07] <ricdanger> on 10.04
[16:07] <remoteCTRL> how do i upgrade to maverick?
[16:07] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, I wonder why the uuid values for both windows partitions are the same and what could have caused that...it's beyond my expertise I'm afraid :(  ...maybe someone more knowledgeable can help here ?
[16:07] <sebsebseb> remoteCTRL: its not final yet
[16:07] <remoteCTRL> !maverick
[16:07] <super-noob> guys ive messed up
[16:07] <sebsebseb> !details | super-noob
[16:08] <super-noob> i was messing with the passwd file and made myself a root by changind 1000.1000 to 0.0 or something like that now my password file is locked
[16:08] <sebsebseb> ricdanger: Whats the point trying to do that?  They could just turn off the computer using the power button anyway?
[16:08] <ricdanger> freenx / remote access
[16:08] <MaybeDrunk> ricdanger: you right, and also gdmsetups seems to be useless in this situation
[16:09] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, thats what I figured out so far ;)   I guess it's because I used the same winxp install for both.... i've read i might have to use labels....will try that tonight
[16:09] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, but many thanks anyway :)
[16:09] <ricdanger> I already tried policykit policies, but they are not working for restart and shutdown
[16:09] <sebsebseb> super-noob: not meant to enable the root account in Ubuntu
[16:09] <super-noob> sebsebseb: i know this now thats why im such a noob
[16:09] <super-noob> i hate not being in control
[16:10] <sebsebseb> super-noob: ah ha you don't understand what sudo is I guess? Or didn't know
[16:10] <rblst> bodwick, i've tried killing pulseaudio, the problem remains; the forum thread you sent me is not about skype video
[16:10] <sebsebseb> super-noob: with sudo you are in control
[16:10] <keith1> First time trying to get a webcam to work in Linux, how would I go about it?
[16:10] <trism> ricdanger: are you using the correct actions? the current ones in 10.04 are org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.*
[16:10] <sebsebseb> !sudo | super-noob
[16:10] <BluesKaj> PsychiC, sorry I couldn't help .... if you find a solution , be sure to let me know if I'm here , thanks
[16:10] <MaybeDrunk> ricdanger: i have a lot of problems to, and manual does not help a lot ...
[16:10] <super-noob> yes but what i was trying to use sudo with wasnt working
[16:10] <ricdanger> yep, I'm usign that ones org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.*
[16:10] <ricdanger> and also upower
[16:11] <sebsebseb> super-noob: by the way most other distros what they do, is when installing you would set up two accounts, a normal user account, and a root account.  The root account you would never log in to,  instead you would use the normal user account, and only become root when you need to.
[16:11] <super-noob> ok so how do i fix all this
[16:11] <ricdanger> hibernate and suspend is not shown after I disable the upower actions
[16:11] <ricdanger> but restart and shutdown are still shown
[16:11] <slow-motion> hi
[16:11] <sebsebseb> super-noob: if you log into a root account, loads of services and such, can run that shoudn't be running like that useually
[16:11] <headkase314> super-noob, you also need to use "gksudo" when it is a graphical application or you could run into issues too.
[16:11] <StErMi> hi everyone! I've created a cronjob with exec('/usr/bin/crontab /home/emanuele/public_html/htcheck/protected/extensions/crontab/crontabs/htcheck_devise', $out); And it adds the cron to the user www-data. The problem is that the cron doesn't really execute the command */2 * * * * /usr/bin/htcheck -vsi -c /home/emanuele/public_html/htcheck/protected/extensions/crontab/crontabs/htcheck_devise.conf
[16:11] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, actually ubuntu overwritten my other bootloader on /dev/sda without asking (or at least I did not see a page in the setup) , my previous bootloader GAG did the job quite well
[16:11] <sebsebseb> super-noob: and yeah what headkase314 put
[16:12] <StErMi> if I try to execute it from the command line everything works well. I think that the user www-data can't execute it but I can't add the cron to my home user couse it requires root
[16:12] <joshritger> what app should I install to change my gdm theme, I have a minimal install
[16:12] <super-noob> ok ive learnt my lesson dont fuck with root sudo instead so how do i fix all this
[16:12] <sebsebseb> super-noob: there is a way to disable the root account in Ubuntu again, but I am not  sure how
[16:12] <Seeker`> !language | super-noob
[16:12] <sebsebseb> super-noob: and yeah language
[16:12] <PsychiC> BluesKaj, I have debian installed on /dev/sda6 which during setup I've installed the bootloader on /dev/sda6 thus not overwriting the bootloader on /dev/sda
[16:12] <ricdanger> actually, I already disabled org.freedesktop.devicekit.power.*, org.freedesktop.upower.* and org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.*
[16:12] <super-noob> opps sorry
[16:13] <VCoolio> joshritger: gdm2setup from launchpad.net
[16:13] <joshritger> thanks
[16:13] <warlockscript> hahha this is new
[16:13] <sebsebseb> super-noob: also with Windows, a main reason why there is so much malware (malicious programs) is because most users are running it with admin, when they don't need to,  which means full power for the system to them, but also any malware.
[16:13] <super-noob> so how do i unlock the password file so i can make it all working again
[16:13] <trism> ricdanger: this works for me http://pastebin.com/BxFTPVbE in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-disable-shutdown.pkla , stops the test8 user from shutting down or suspending (well it prompts for an admin password, but completely disabling it is possible too), you have to add gdm too if you don't want someone shutting down from the login screen
[16:13] <VCoolio> joshritger: the old gdm themes don't work anymore; you can specify gtk2 themes to use for buttons etc and change background
[16:13] <remoteCTRL> super-noob: i guess your best option is to fire up the computer with a live cd and then edit our passwd from there again
[16:13] <super-noob> also sudo dont work no more
[16:13] <Seeker`> !google test
[16:13] <sebsebseb> warlockscript: ok hi
[16:14] <warlockscript> sebsebseb: i think the old trick never work anymore to lucid
[16:14] <joshritger> ok
[16:14] <super-noob> is there anyway to do it from here
[16:14] <sebsebseb> warlockscript: uh what are you trying to do?
[16:14] <warlockscript> sebsebseb: reverse caps lock
[16:14] <super-noob> sudo: unknown uid: 1000 I have no name!@paul-laptop:~$ ^C
[16:14] <remoteCTRL> super-noob: nope there is not, you perfectly locked yourself out... whats wrong with the live cd option?
[16:14] <ricdanger> trism. I have something like that already, for all users. But shutdown and restart menu items are still shown in gnome
[16:15] <warlockscript> sebsebseb: gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/mousekeys_enable 0
[16:15] <super-noob> nothing i can do that np
[16:15] <trism> ricdanger: yes, that has nothing to do with showing the items
[16:15] <ricdanger> I also set that to "no"
[16:15] <trism> ricdanger: it just disabled them working, because they have no policykit auth
[16:15] <rblst> anybody here who can help me using my logitech cam with skype in 10.04?
[16:15] <super-noob> just wanted to know if there was a alternative befreo i go remaster a live
[16:15] <warlockscript> sebsebseb: thats the old trick but in lucid no more runs
[16:15] <sebsebseb> warlockscript: I don't know
[16:15] <StErMi> hi everyone! I've created a cronjob with exec('/usr/bin/crontab /home/emanuele/public_html/htcheck/protected/extensions/crontab/crontabs/htcheck_devise', $out); And it adds the cron to the user www-data. The problem is that the cron doesn't really execute the command */2 * * * * /usr/bin/htcheck -vsi -c /home/emanuele/public_html/htcheck/protected/extensions/crontab/crontabs/htcheck_devise.conf
[16:15] <StErMi> if I try to execute it from the command line everything works well. I think that the user www-data can't execute it but I can't add the cron to my home user couse it requires root
[16:16] <warlockscript> sebsebseb: ok
[16:16] <cedriczg> rblst, have you cheese installed?
[16:16] <remoteCTRL> super-noob: what need to remaster??  and nope there is no other way as you computer right now does not accept a single command that requires the os to lookup access control
[16:16] <rblst> cedriczg, yes
[16:16] <warlockscript> anyone knows how to restore a reverse caps lock?
[16:16] <ricdanger> trism: I understand. But if I disable suspend and hibernate with policykit, the menu items are not shown anymore. Is it possible to do the same with shutdown and restart?
[16:16] <cedriczg> rblst, does your webcam work with cheese?
[16:17] <remoteCTRL> super-noob: i guess you have not given root a password, right?
[16:17] <super-noob> root has a password
[16:17] <rblst> cedriczg, it captures the input, yes, but CPU is up to 100%, so it is practically useless
[16:17] <warlockscript> anyone knows how to restore a reverse caps lock?
[16:17] <sebsebseb> super-noob: have you logged into the actsaul root account?
[16:18] <headkase314> !patience warlockscript
[16:18] <headkase314> !patience | warlockscript
[16:18] <cedriczg> rblst, did you try to run cheese on terminal to see if you get any strange output?
[16:18] <warlockscript> hehehe of course..
[16:18] <warlockscript> i only repeat my concern twice here
[16:18] <sebsebseb> super-noob: if so maybe you should just clean install the OS, after all some stuff may have changed, that shoudn't have
[16:19] <trism> ricdanger: I'm sure there is a way to hide those options, but I don't know it
[16:19] <rblst> cedriczg, i get some warnings and an error
[16:20] <droes> I've got crunchbang and ubuntu 10.04 installed side-by-side, but I can't get crunchbang running well. How do I remove crunchbang without ruining anything?
[16:20] <sebsebseb> droes: ok uhmm
[16:20] <sebsebseb> droes: which one controls Grub?
[16:20] <Barbeapapa> hi
[16:20] <droes> I'm not sure, but I think crunchbang
[16:20] <Barbeapapa> how i can have a complete graphic extinction with plymouth  ? ( on Ubuntu, without tty1 screen )
[16:21] <cedriczg> rblst, and if you run skype on terminal, do you get similar error?
[16:21] <StErMi> I've a cronjob associed to www-data. It's listed in it's jobs but it's not executed. Why?
[16:21] <rblst> cedriczg, no
[16:21] <scriptwarlock> Dr_Willis: ping
[16:21] <jrib> StErMi: impossible to answer, give more details
[16:21] <sebsebseb> droes: in fact, someone the other day, had Ubuntu Desktop Edition and Ubuntu Netbook Edition on his computer, he wanted to get rid of the netbook edition, so he did
[16:21] <gryllida> how do I install jvm 1.5+, if I am on Hardy?
[16:21] <rblst> cedriczg, this is what i get with cheese: http://paste.ubuntu.com/489302/
[16:21] <sebsebseb> droes: and well it turns out that its /boot was controlling Grub
[16:21] <StErMi> from php i've created a cronjob. PHP associate it to the user www-data
[16:21] <uRock> when the grub screen comes up, look at the top of the screen and see which version number it is using. Crunchbang uses legacy grub
[16:22] <StErMi> when I do crontab -u www-data -l it show my cronjob but it's never executed the comand
[16:22] <droes> uRock: this is crunchbang alpha 2, so it's different from the 9.04 I think
[16:22] <StErMi> how can I know which is the problem?
[16:22] <sebsebseb> droes: so  yeah Grub messed up he coudn't boot into desktop edition or Windows 7,  but then I heped him later to re install :)  even helped him make his old  netbook edition partition into a seperate /home
[16:22] <jrib> StErMi: pastebin the crontab, make sure there's a final new line
[16:22] <droes> sebsebseb: I'd hope to avoid that. messed up grub once, not a happy memory
[16:22] <Barbeapapa> how can i have a complete graphic shutdown process with plymouth ?
[16:23] <sebsebseb> droes: if you get rid of the wrong /boot you have to re install the OS
[16:23] <ricdanger> trism: figured it out :) /apps/indicator-session/ had settings to suppress the menu item :)
[16:23] <sebsebseb> droes: basicalley
[16:23] <StErMi> jrib, http://pastebin.com/P5uLxLqD
[16:23] <erdnase> Excuse me, I need help. :) I created an image using GIMP. Saved it as .xcf. Then when I try to save it as .jpg. This error pops up: "Unable to run plug-in file-jpeg (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg)   Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory)".
[16:23] <sebsebseb> droes: however with seperate /home thats not a big deal
[16:23] <trism> ricdanger: does it actually work? last time I tried that key did nothing
[16:23] <cedriczg> rblst, do you know what is that file cheese tries to open?
[16:23] <uRock> droes, I don't think debian has moved up to grub 2 yet. They are known for waiting for stuff to "age" before using it
[16:23] <scriptwarlock> anyone knows how to restore a reverse caps lock?
[16:23] <sebsebseb> uRock: Debian are on Grub 2
[16:23] <sebsebseb> uRock: not stable just yet though I guess
[16:23] <ricdanger> yep. it seems to work. I no longer have the menu items there
[16:24] <jrib> StErMi: if you have a final new line, check your mail from cron or redirect stdout and stderr to some file and check it
[16:24] <uRock> sebsebseb: thanx, I didn't know that
[16:24] <ricdanger> just lock scree and logout
[16:24] <droes> uRock: the splash screen has debian and crunchbang on it, I'm assuming that's a sign crunchbang controls that?
[16:24] <Barbeapapa> how can i have a complete graphic shutdown process with plymouth ?
[16:24] <trism> ricdanger: excellent
[16:24] <sebsebseb> uRock: its other distros like Fedora, Mandriva, and PC LInux OS, who are still using the old version of Grub :)
[16:24] <sebsebseb> uRock: so yeah its Ubuntu Debian and Ubuntu and Debian based distros, that are mainly using Grub 2, where as others, nope
[16:25] <ricdanger> trism: I wonder if there exist more widgets that shutdown the computer
[16:25] <StErMi> jrib, how can I do that? Sorry but i'm pretty noob to it... how can I redirect stdout and stderr to some file and check it
[16:25] <sebsebseb> droes: what you could also do is
[16:25] <droes> uRock and sebsebseb, it's grub version 1.98-1
[16:25] <jrib> StErMi: first, does your crontab have a final newline?
[16:25] <sebsebseb> droes: thats Grub 2
[16:25] <StErMi> how can I check it?
[16:26] <jrib> StErMi: press enter at the end of your crontab and save
[16:26] <droes> sebsebseb: the grub background has crunchbang and debian logo's
[16:26] <uRock> droes, that version of Crunchbang uses mostly all debian applications, hence the IcedWeasel instead of Firefox, but either way this is off subject
[16:26] <pdvyas_> How do i prevent users to "ls /home" and see all the directories of users?
[16:26] <sebsebseb> droes: you could try making a seperate /boot  for what was crunchbang, but then Ubuntu might have issues updating it with the kernels and such
[16:26] <sebsebseb> droes: ok crunchbang is responsible for Grub then
[16:26] <droes> sebsebseb: bummer
[16:27] <jrib> pdvyas_: don't give them read access to the directory
[16:27] <sebsebseb> droes: have you got a seperate /home already?
[16:27] <uRock> just run the LiveCD and reinstall grub to ubuntu
[16:27] <Gnea> pdvyas_: in ssh or ftp?
[16:27] <d0mynus> hey i tried to install ubuntu and it gives me error 0
[16:27] <gardar> whoa, just ran e2fsck on my fileserver and got 44.9% non-contiguous
[16:27] <StErMi> jrib, are you talking about the file of the cron or the crontab comand? :/
[16:27] <gardar> never seen this much non-contigous
[16:27] <pdvyas_> jrib: chmod 750 locks out everyone
[16:27] <jrib> StErMi: the user's crontab... Use crontab -e
[16:27] <droes> sebsebseb: I have two home partitions if that's what your asking
[16:27] <jrib> pdvyas_: I didn't say to chmod 750
[16:28] <sebsebseb> droes: ok one is in the crunchbang install and the other is in Ubuntu?
[16:28] <vjm> anyone have experience using a nuforce uDAC with linux ??
[16:28] <Gnea> pdvyas_: there are ways around 750
[16:28] <droes> sebsebseb: yes
[16:28] <sebsebseb> droes: have you got data that you  want in both?
[16:28] <dpac_> pdvyas_, chmod o-r /home
[16:28] <droes> sebsebseb: the only stuff I care about is on the buntu
[16:28] <sebsebseb> droes: ok :)
[16:28] <pdvyas_> dpac: trying that
[16:28] <rblst> cedriczg, it seems an ogg video, i don't know why it wants to open that, the Reason translates as: the data stream does not contain any data
[16:29] <StErMi> jrib, i opened it with nano and if I go down I can 'see' a newline
[16:29] <Gnea> pdvyas_: 711 or 4711 on each ~ tends to work nicely
[16:29] <sebsebseb> droes: ok what I did last time,  was got that person, to delete everything from their partition,  except for /home
[16:29] <jrib> StErMi: k, do the other thing I said then :)
[16:29] <sebsebseb> droes: then turned that into a seperate /home partition on the installer
[16:29] <sebsebseb> droes: and he made a new /  for Ubuntu and re installed, and yep everything was fine
[16:30] <sebsebseb> droes: first I got him to move some stuff into Windows 7, but I didn't trust that fully,  so I wanted to be sure, he woudn't lose any data, so did it this other way
[16:30] <pdvyas_> Gnea, jrib, dpac : 750 was a BAD idea really, chmod o- r /home did the trick
[16:30] <sebsebseb> droes: copy into Windows 7 I should say
[16:30] <napoliguest> hi all
[16:31] <uRock> !hi
[16:31] <pdvyas_> Gnea, jrib, dpac : thanks a tonne
[16:31] <rblst> cedriczg, i've deleted all items, now cheese does not give any output in terminal
[16:31] <jrib> pdvyas_: now the important question, why do you want to do this?
[16:31] <cedriczg> rblst, and does it consume too much cpu?
[16:31] <sebsebseb> droes: and he would show me screenshots of the partition stuff and what not.  and yeah I spent about two hours or so heping this person, but the results were good :)
[16:31] <StErMi> jrib, I'm pretty noob in linux command line. How can I redirect stdout and stderr to some file and check it?
[16:31] <rblst> cedriczg, yes
[16:31] <napoliguest> I need help with intel gma 4500m in my acer 1810tz. Screen resolution issues
[16:31] <nettezzaumana> heya
[16:31] <nettezzaumana> i have new laptop with `i7 qm720` with intel turbo boost technology but i can't see it running by looking in proc/cpuinfo although my sixth sense says to me that it won't be there anyway .. any notice to turbo boost + linux ?
[16:32] <pdvyas_> jrib: I dont want mom to know how many people actually have an account on my box ( half of my class)
[16:32] <rblst> cedriczg, around 90%
[16:32] <cedriczg> rblst, so no error nor warning but still consuming too much cpu?
[16:32] <jrib> pdvyas_: she can still find out by other means if you care
[16:32] <rblst> cedriczg, exaclty
[16:32] <pdvyas_> jrib: disabled user list from gdm also ;)
[16:32] <sebsebseb> droes: and you want to do this in pm?  probably better really,  otherwise it kind of gets in the way of other people wanting help in here
[16:32] <cedriczg> rblst, mmmhh
[16:32] <jrib> pdvyas_: cat /etc/passwd for example
[16:32] <cedriczg> rblst, and what about skype output?
[16:32] <droes> that's probably for the best sebsebseb
[16:33] <pdvyas_> jrib : protecting that too, thanks
[16:33] <jrib> pdvyas_: I'm not sure if users need to be able to read that
[16:33] <rblst> cedriczg, skype produces no text output
[16:33] <napoliguest> no help?

[16:40] <dpac_> pdvyas_, as a matter of fact /etc/passwd is generally unreadable for 'others' in production servers where there are lots of users.
[16:40] <sburjan`> hello. Why Can't I use swapon a partition that is inside a logical partition ?
[16:40] <VCoolio> joshritger: hmm, that's a pyhton thing; it should be mentioned as a dependency then; try 'apt-cache search imagefilter' and see if a python package contains that
[16:40] <cedriczg> dreux, do you have the name of those desktops?
[16:40] <dreux> nope
[16:40] <simplexio> sburjan`: it need to be in fstab
[16:40] <straw_hat> Hey, has anyone had problems with detecting things on a 1394 port? I'm trying to mount a 500GB Maxtor external hard drive, and it doesn't seem to be detected at all, doesn't show up when I run fdisk -l, nothing. The Hard Drive itself seems to be able to figure out that it's detected, however, lights up properly.
[16:41] <dreux> if I can find one can you help me to install it cedriczg?
[16:41] <sburjan`> simplexio : it is .. grepping fstab returns this
[16:41] <sburjan`> # swap was on /dev/sda4 during installation
[16:41] <sburjan`> UUID=d00ef2a0-6f1a-4784-9797-31ebb4d73a78 /dev/sda5 swap sw 0 0
[16:41] <cedriczg> dreux, sure
[16:41] <sburjan`> UUID was put manually by me, and /dev/sda5 by me too
[16:41] <dreux> k thanks cedriczg ill go look
[16:41] <cedriczg> dreux, ok
[16:42] <simplexio> sburjan`: and those wont start ?
[16:42] <straw_hat> come to think of it, autodetect hasn't worked for my ipod either, though it showed up in fdisk, at least.
[16:42] <joshritger> VCoolio: that shows nothing, no feedback when I type it in
[16:42] <sburjan`> well it's not mounted with df -h
[16:42] <simplexio> sburjan`: usually dmesg / swapon give error if they fail
[16:43] <simplexio> sburjan`: df -h dosent show it, use mount
[16:43] <Datz> Hi, I'm trying to enable cron logging. I'm folling a tutorial: Edit /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment the line starting with cron.*   However, there is no /etc/syslog.conf
[16:43] <gryllida> ok.. I installed `openjdk-6-jre` but am still getting `No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system. Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.` message .. doing it as root.. ubuntu hardy... what can I do?
[16:43] <zfe> what's this madness
[16:43] <gryllida> Datz: make it
[16:43] <rblst> sburjan`, have you set up a swap area on /dev/sda5?
[16:43] <gryllida> !hi | zfe
[16:44] <zfe> folks, empaty gives "network error"
[16:44] <zfe> how can i investigate over it
[16:44] <Datz> gryllida: ok.. but then that brings me to my next question. Instead of uncommenting that line. I'd have to write it..
[16:44] <simplexio> sburjan`: actually "mount" dosent show swaps
[16:44] <sburjan`> mount: unknown filesystem type 'swap'
[16:44] <dpac_> gryllida, Which application gives that error?
[16:45] <gryllida> Datz: I do not have /etc/syslog.conf , at another 10,04 machine
[16:45] <dreux> cedriczg, this one http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/xl_Monochrome?content=91399
[16:45] <rblst> sburjan`, is /dev/sda5 a swap area?

[16:46] <scriptwarlock> anyone knows how to restore a reverse caps lock?
[16:46] <jrib> scriptwarlock: what is that?
[16:46] <sburjan`> rblst : yes, I created it with GParted
[16:46] <sburjan`> but swapon and mkswap say that sorinello@Phoenix:~$ sudo mkswap /dev/sda5
[16:46] <sburjan`> /dev/sda5: Device or resource busy
[16:46] <scriptwarlock> jrib: now im typing to a caps lock to attain small letters
[16:47] <scriptwarlock> jrib: any idea how to restore?

[16:48] <datta> firefox does not open for the ubuntu bug report, how do I fix that?
[16:48] <gryllida> !details > linuxson26
[16:48] <dpac_> gryllida, you should be able to find a conf file for the application. You'll have to change the path to match openjdk's path. I got the same error while running both netbeans and webgoat. I was able to find conf files for both of them.
[16:48] <cedriczg> dreux, I thought you wanted a menu that would not be the common drop down for applications
[16:48] <dreux> well I said drop down menu, but im talking about the basic desktop theme it gives you with the new ubuntu cedriczg
[16:48] <gryllida> dpac_: maybe but i do not know what openjdk's path is
[16:49] <RandomTime> I've installed amp mp3 plugin to Ubuntu, but mp3 playback is choppy. Is there anything I can do (better codec) to make playback better. Tried VLC and rhythmbox
[16:49] <linuxson26> It's not showing newly created GSM connection in possible list of connections
[16:49] <thune3> straw_hat: if dmesg isn't showing any activity, i might look into if you have right firewire drivers loaded.
[16:49] <RandomTime> an*
[16:49] <linuxson26> So I cant connect
[16:49] <dpac_> gryllida, Why don't you try to open ./openfire in vim or nano or gedit, for that matter.

[16:50] <dennis> hey experts... so we upgraded a server from 8.04 -> 10.04 and now the lvm volumes cant be found e.g the system wont reboot

[16:51] <linuxson26> gryllida: this only happens on my laptop
[16:51] <cedriczg> dreux, One way to install that theme would be to download the theme package. Then go to system > appearence > click on install on theme tab. And select the package you downloaded

[17:13] <Erik_> hello, since a recent update i have a problem with logging in to websites like for example i-google and kongregate.com. This problem occurs in every browser (chrome, firefox and opera), anyone know how to resolve this ?
[17:14] <Daniel0108> ilovefairuz how to enable it there?
[17:14] <dpac_> gryllida, Did that work?
[17:14] <ilovefairuz> Daniel0108: where's the paste url?
[17:14] <siddhion> SixThreeOh: The problem is that I can not even access my Windows XP Pro CD so how would I access the 'fixmbr' command?
[17:14] <dhruvasagar> Erik_: what kind of problem ?
[17:14] <rockhopper> Erik_, What problem do you have while logging in?
[17:14] <Daniel0108> ilovefairuz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/489318/
[17:14] <soreau> dhruvasagar: It is a bug that has plagued many for this ubuntu version, but usually saving the session works
[17:14] <RandomTime> siddhion: how did you install WinXP without the CD?
[17:15] <anon101|serv2> hey guys
[17:15] <anon101|serv2> quick question
[17:15] <anon101|serv2> I installed ircd-hybrid
[17:15] <dhruvasagar> soreau: ok, well I am sure, i'll be able to fix it soon though
[17:15] <cedriczg> dreux, and you get the error once you try to install the package through the appearence interface, right?
[17:15] <ilovefairuz> Daniel0108: gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled -t bool true
[17:15] <anon101|serv2> but external connections are refused, any ideas on what might be causing it?
[17:15] <zak23e3i> is there any commands to check what video card driver do i need?
[17:15] <dhruvasagar> soreau: I don't like the option of fresh install, will have to go through a lot of pain of installing a lot of applications :(
[17:15] <Erik_> It doesnt work at all, i can input my data, but it plainly doesnt log in.
[17:16] <gryllida> dpac_: `./openfire /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre` didn't work. it says `No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system. The version of the JVM must be at least 1.5. Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM. You can also try to delete the JVM cache file /root/.install4j'.
[17:16] <gryllida> same
[17:16] <siddhion> RandomTime: ok I see SixThreeOh probably thought I already had XP installed which I dont! haha. I have Xubuntu 10.04 installed. I need to replace it with XP for a family member. When I try to boot with the XP cd I get this error: CDBOOT couldn't find ntldr
[17:16] <Daniel0108> ilovefairuz: YEAAAA, it DID the trick :D thanks very much :DDDDD
[17:16] <soreau> dhruvasagar: as a hack, you could add compiz --replace to the startup programs and see if that works
[17:16] <ilovefairuz> Daniel0108: you're welcome
[17:16] <dreux> no the theme worked cedriczg but im trying to install the gtk engine
[17:17] <rockhopper> Erik_, does it give any error?
[17:17] <saulus> Can I install ubuntu-server totally on lvm2 devices? grub1 always required another disc to boot from. Now I saw that the device map of grub2 displays my lvm2-partivions. Thus I wonder: Do I really need a standard harddisk to boot from or can I have my /boot on a lvm logical volume?
[17:17] <RandomTime> siddhion: I'm assuming you've tried WINE to get the program to work. If it's a true windows install CD, it shouldn't need anything on the current OS to install
[17:17] <zak23e3i> plz help
[17:17] <rockhopper> like you didn't give the required fields like pw or uname?
[17:17] <fableflame> When I'm running a live cd, it keeps using my swap, what command do I run to make it quit using my swap?
[17:18] <headkase314> fableflame, swapoff?
[17:18] <RandomTime> swapoff
[17:18] <rockhopper> zak23e3i, do you want to know what video card you have or what video driver you have?
[17:18] <Erik_> @rockhopper no it doesnt, that's whats baffeling me, it shows the login dialog and accepts my data. But no logged in page appears afterwards.
[17:18] <soreau> zak23e3i: Which card do you have as reported by the output of lspci|grep VGA ?
[17:18] <fableflame> headkase314, RandomTime, that's the whole command? "swapoff"?
[17:18] <RandomTime> fableflame: yes - man swapoff for more details
[17:19] <headkase314> fableflame, I think you have to sudo it though.  Do "man swapon" and off in a console.
[17:19] <ennesimo> !list
[17:19] <siddhion> RandomTime:  No I just tried to boot the XP cd by restarting from Xubuntu. I have Wine installed but did not try to use it. I did not consider that. Could it work?
[17:19] <TxMatt> Qustion: Could the cause of my torrent client and downloads freezing be caused because i'm running a x86 on a 64bit proc?
[17:19] <dpac_> gryllida, Does this help? http://goo.gl/oEtj
[17:19] <TxMatt> i called my isp and they couldnt help cause i was running linux......even when i dl from the repos I freeze up
[17:19] <zak23e3i> VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[17:20] <RandomTime> siddhion: depends on the program you want to work - what windows programs are stopping the use of Xubuntu for the family member?
[17:20] <dhruvasagar> soreau: but it is not a compiz problem...I had switched to metacity as you had suggested and it was still the same...
[17:20] <Daniel0108> bye ;)
[17:20] <dpac_> gryllida, export INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4/jre
[17:20] <soreau> zak23e3i: The 3D driver for that card should already be installed and working by default
[17:21] <soreau> zak23e3i: There is no other driver choice really
[17:21] <soreau> zak23e3i: What does this say? glxinfo|grep renderer
[17:21] <sinman> good morning everyone.... I'm planning on redoing my computer and need to know how or where I can download the ndiswrapper so I can get my wireless back up and running again after doing a fresh install
[17:22] <soreau> dhruvasagar: I know it is not a compiz problem. I already told you, it is a problem with gnome + ubuntu 10.04
[17:22] <imanc> how can I find out whether ubuntu supports a particular printer?  Im' looking to buy a printer, but don't want something that wont be compatible with ubuntu
[17:22] <dreux> do you understand what I mean cedriczg?
[17:22] <cedriczg> dreux, oh, ok. I see. I didn 't know you were trying that
[17:22] <zak23e3i> The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[17:22] <zak23e3i> apt-get install mesa-utils
[17:22] <dhruvasagar> soreau: yea, but you asked me to try with compiz --replace ..
[17:22] <deel> hello all
[17:22] <siddhion> RandomTime: oh far too many. I have already checked the lists. Adobe programs fair badly on Wine. I thought you meant I could start the XP cd via Wine or something. Yeah I have to get XP installed. Wine will not cut it unfortunately.
[17:23] <Erik_> @rockhopper that's indeed whats happening, as if all three browsers just don't know i log in.
[17:23] <deel> i'm looking for some help with lubi - could someone please point me in the right direction?
[17:23] <RandomTime> sinman: If there aren't proprietry drivers avalible for it (there are lots more now than were were earlier in the system -> administration -> aditional drivers, you'll probably have to connect the computer to ethernet and download the drivers through that, then connect wirelessly
[17:23] <siddhion> RandomTime: So once again, the problem I am having is just that I can not boot the XP cd at all. I get the error CDBOOT couldn't find ntldr
[17:23] <gryllida> dpac_: http://codepad.org/s1OcB2Vg
[17:23] <gryllida> no effect
[17:24] <zak23e3i> do i need to: apt-get install mesa-utils?
[17:24] <soreau> dhruvasagar: Oh right, that is something to try.. you might even try a script that does sleep 10; compiz --replace
[17:24] <RandomTime> siddhion: ugh, there shouldn't be any problem with that, as the windows CD should install withought using anything from the current HDD
[17:24] <dreux> do you know how to install gtk engines cedriczg?
[17:24] <soreau> dhruvasagar: and hopefully you put it in the right place, sys>prefs>startup apps
[17:24] <sinman> RandomTime : i been using the ndiswrapper to install the windows driver for my dlink from the dlink disk
[17:24] <ennesimo>  /msg ubottu !bot
[17:24] <cedriczg> I have two packages still showing in my update manager, but they are in grey and I can't select them. How can I update those?
[17:25] <dpac_> gryllida, as it says, try to delete .install4j file
[17:25] <cedriczg> they are libeet1 and edisplay
[17:25] <siddhion> RandomTime:  so translation would be  "its a hopeless situation" ARG! thanks anyways.
[17:25]  * Erik_ afk
[17:25] <deel> can anyone help with lubi?
[17:25] <RandomTime> siddhion: sorry - http://tinyurl.com/3y99sgc - seems to show other people having this issue. You could see if their soultions help
[17:26] <RandomTime> good luck
[17:26] <zak23e3i> soreau: glxinfo|grep renderer
[17:26] <zak23e3i> The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[17:26] <zak23e3i> apt-get install mesa-utils
[17:26] <gryllida> dpac_: http://codepad.org/yEe4d6Uk
[17:26] <soreau> zak23e3i: It is telling you that you have to install mesa-utils package to use glxinfo..
[17:26] <bukcyball> hey
[17:27] <RandomTime> sinman: what do you see in system -> administration -> additonal drivers? Your card may now have a native linux driver
[17:27] <RandomTime> !hi bukcyball
[17:27] <bukcyball> i am facing the problem
[17:27] <bukcyball> can u help?
[17:27] <zak23e3i> soreau: ok :)
[17:27] <sinman> Randomtime: I don't see the adminstration > additional drivers
[17:27] <RandomTime> depends on what the problem is
[17:27] <dpac_> gryllida, sudo apt-get install openjdk6-jre-headless
[17:27] <headkase314> RandomTime, Do you mean System > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[17:27] <dreux> thanks for the help cedriczg im going to eat lunch
[17:27] <bukcyball> am facing some unusual problem regarding z-order of windows in ubuntu 10.04, gnome environment.
[17:27] <RandomTime> listed as "aditonal drivers" for me, might be hardware drivers
[17:28] <gryllida> dpac_: E: Couldn't find package openjdk6-jre-headless (it's hardy)
[17:28] <cedriczg> dreux, your welcome. Have a good lunch. Bye
[17:28] <deel> I'm getting an error that says "could not find any file needed to boot"...any idea what i should do?
[17:28] <bukcyball> Whenever I restore any window, it becomes always on top. The always-on-top property of the window is still unselected, but it remains always on top. Since the always-on-top is already unselected, I cannot make the window not-always-on-top. To view any window in the background, i have to explicitly minimize that always-on-top window, or maximize it, to remove always-on-top property.
[17:28] <bukcyball> Is there any gnome setting which makes restored (not maximized/minimized) windows always-on-top.
[17:28] <tonsofpcs> find a file to boot.
[17:28] <headkase314> RandomTime, I don't have an Additional Drivers here (10.04) but do have a Hardware Drivers..
[17:28] <RandomTime> headkase314: might be a change in 10.10
[17:28] <cedriczg> How can I get to update the grayed packages on my update manager?
[17:28] <dpac_> gryllida, sorry a typo -  sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre-headless
[17:28] <headkase314> RandomTime, probably ;)
[17:28] <zak23e3i> soreau: done but still all my 3d mini games and google earth doesnt work properly :(
[17:28] <sinman> RandomTime: is there something I need to download to see the additional drivers?
[17:28] <deel> tonsofpcs: great idea! but i have no idea how to
[17:29] <cedriczg> Does anyone have an idea about that?
[17:29] <deel> grub menu.lst is pointing to the right files
[17:29] <soreau> zak23e3i: You still havent showed the output I wanted to see
[17:29] <RandomTime> sinman: headkase314 suggests that it might be called "hardware drivers" on 10.04 - I'm using the beta version, might have been renamed
[17:29] <bukcyball> RandomTime: did you read my problem?
[17:29] <philinux> 10.04 = Hardware Drivers

[17:30] <sinman> RandomTime: ok done a search the only thing it shows is my Nvidia card drivers nothing else
[17:30] <dpac_> gryllida, Lastly, you can force the script to use openjdk. Just copy the line 26 and paste it after line 3 in http://codepad.org/zX6oGnnv. You can then run it using ./openfire /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre
[17:30] <bukcyball> RandomTime: so whom should I ask? Even google isn't helpful

[17:32] <soreau> zak23e3i: Ok, step 2. What is wrong with google earth and games?
[17:32] <gryllida> dpac_: Thanks you. It works now.
[17:32] <sinman> RandomTime: I could copy the windows drivers from from the disk to my usb stick, but unless there's another way to install without using the ndiswrapper, I would like to know
[17:33] <Patero-ng> hello
[17:33] <ilovefairuz> bukcyball: do you have desktop effects enabled?
[17:33] <Erik_> @rockhopper: problem solved, it had to do with me being stupid and not remembering what i installed. The proxy server was the cause.
[17:33] <dpac_> gryllida, After installing headless package?
[17:33] <Patero-ng> did anybody read my important question is about network security
[17:33] <RandomTime> sinman: if there aren't native linux drivers (you could also try and search d-link's site) you'll have to use ndis
[17:33] <gryllida> dpac_: no, put line 26 after line 3 and add it as command line argument helped; that headless package doesn't exist on hardy

[17:34] <RandomTime> sinman: that means they probably don't have the drivers. You're going to have to copy the ones on the CD and use ndiswrapper
[17:34] <Kills> none of that helps my lame sound quality on songs with more bass
[17:34] <Patero-ng> an incmomming packet can be either 1 of the 2

[17:35] <sinman>  Could I use the Ubuntu Customization kit to install the ndiswrapper
[17:35] <ilovefairuz> Patero-ng: on TCP level? there's a whole handshaking process that takes place
[17:35] <soreau> zak23e3i: You likely need newer radeon driver then. You can get it by installing a more recent kernel (latest is 2.6.35) and installing xorg-edgers repo to update the userspace components
[17:36] <sinman> and burn another ubuntu disk
[17:36] <RandomTime> you could put the ndiswrapper packages on a CD, and install from there
[17:36] <sreerajc> im using Xchat
[17:36] <sreerajc> it is possible in it?
[17:36] <RandomTime> sreerajc: yes
[17:36] <sinman> k where would i download the package at
[17:36] <soreau> zak23e3i: Because I suspect you are still using 2.6.32 and there have been a considerable amount of changes in the radeon driver since then

[17:43] <sreerajc> cedriczg, u there?
[17:43] <soreau> dhruvasagar: That is because compiz never exits, and that code waits until each command completes before running the next one
[17:43] <cedriczg> sreerajc, yes. I see that. But I see other info as well
[17:43] <dpac_> dhruvasagar, try adding & after compiz --replace

AND Unable to run plug-in "file-jpeg" (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg) Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory).
[17:46] <gryllida> RandomTime: I don't think so, but 200MB is a lot
[17:46] <Kills> I has no multimedia issues just the sound qulity is bad on songs with more bass
[17:46] <RandomTime> gryllida: I'd suggest creating a swap partition (try gparted) and swapping it on, that'll probably give you enough memory
[17:47] <cedriczg> Can anyone tell me how to update the greyed packages I see on the update manager list?
[17:47] <tucemiux> Kills, that depends on the hardware that you have
[17:47] <RandomTime> Kills: could it be that your speakers are tinny, and can't handle the bass?
[17:47] <gryllida> RandomTime: how do I do it in cli..? I can't do it, it is vps, access denied when I do swapon, so no way. is there any other cause for this behavior except for being out of ram?
[17:47] <Arpad2> where can I ask for SIP/voip software help?
[17:48] <RandomTime> gryllida: sudo?
[17:48] <Kills> no it couldnt be i have ahifi conenctetd to my laptop
[17:48] <headkase314> cedriczg, go into System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager and if you can't do it there at least it should tell you why.
[17:48] <Kills> the cable and the hifi is fine and the sounds is good on w7
[17:48] <tucemiux> Arpad2, if youre using ubuntu you can ask here, all in one line, if someone knows the answer they will surely reply
[17:48] <Kills> I can give you waht audio controller i have
[17:49] <gryllida> RandomTime: I'm logged in as root, yes
[17:49] <Arpad2> tucemiux: ok:)
[17:49] <sacarlson> Kills:  there are graphic equilizers you can use in some audio applications that can fix that.  like in audacious
[17:49] <RandomTime> well, that's a mystery to me
[17:49] <Kills> sacarlson:  doesn't fix anything
[17:50] <erdnase> Last, I'm kinda desperate. :P Excuse me, I'm trying to save a .jpg file using GIMP, and here's what i get: Saving '/media/Paulo/Ink/Notebooks/Customers/GIMP/xxxx/xxxx.jpg' failed: Failed to run plug-in "file-jpeg". AND Unable to run plug-in "file-jpeg" (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-jpeg) Failed to fork (Cannot allocate memory).
[17:50] <sacarlson> Kills:  it could cut all base so it should make your base problem be gone
[17:50] <Kills> sacarlson: well i want my sons to sound liek they did on w7
[17:50] <sacarlson> Kills:  you need to adjust the base to what the audio system can handle
[17:50] <gryllida> .....
[17:50] <RandomTime> erdnase: can you try to save in another format?
[17:50] <cedriczg> headkase314, thanks. That made the trick. I did it manually through synaptic as you suggested
[17:50] <Kills> sacarlson:  everything worked just fine on w7
[17:51] <erdnase> RandomTime, let me try .png. Sec.
[17:51] <headkase314> cedriczg, you're welcome!  I had that once too.. ;)
[17:51] <Kills> my hifi can handle it
[17:51] <sacarlson> kills: its not automatic you have to make it sound the way you want it to.
[17:51] <erdnase> RandomTime, Same error. But now it's png. :P
[17:51] <Arpad2> i tried to make voip call with both qutecom and twinkle , but the recipient couldnt hear me, is it sth with codec, can snb help me , please?
[17:51] <Rods_Tiger> I?ve just installed 10.04 on someone?s machine and the migration assistant claimed to offer to move all the accounts and such over, which was accepted. But it didn?t! How can I run it again now it?s installed?
[17:51] <erdnase> RandomTime, also tried .gif.
[17:51] <RandomTime> erdnase: tiff?
[17:51] <sacarlson> Kills: well maybe the equalizer default on w7 was the way you want it so set it to sound like that
[17:51] <gryllida> I have 300MB free RAM, 100MB occupied but http://codepad.org/4O1EhxYo -- any ideas?
[17:51] <Kills> sacarlson:  hows that gonna remove some extar sounds coming in the background when i play some songs
[17:52] <erdnase> RandomTime, nope, can't.
[17:52] <cedriczg> has anyone tried successfully the webkit message style for pidgin?
[17:52] <sacarlson> Kills:  turn off devices that you don't need to listen to
[17:52] <erdnase> RandomTime, I can save it as .xcf though.
[17:52] <Kills> you eman liek hwat devices?
[17:53] <RandomTime> bah, looks like something's wrong with the saving. At least you've got a copy saved as something. I'm not sure, perhaps someone else on the channel is
[17:53] <Kills> you mean like what devices?
[17:53] <flupke_> hey, I wrote a post with instructions to make the U35JC (almost) fully functional on ubuntu: http://schawat.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/configuring-the-asus-u35jc-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/
[17:53] <erdnase> RandomTime, thanks, I'll try to... play with the tile cache, maybe this can help.
[17:53] <erdnase> Gawd I need to save this now.
[17:54] <sacarlson> Kills:  you sound card must have about 7 devices to listen to.  turn off the ones you don't need at the time like mike, line in, aux1, aux2...aux10
[17:54] <Kills> how to do that?
[17:54] <sacarlson> Kills:  look at your mixer
[17:55] <Kills> its the second day im on ubuntu so youre gonna have to be more precise with the insturctions
[17:55] <sacarlson> Kills: I use aumix but there are many not sure what you use or prefer
[17:57] <sacarlson> Kills: I'm also not sure what sound applications you run. so I am like you with very little to work with.
[17:57] <Kills> i use rthe default player to play music
[17:58] <sacarlson> Kills: that can be changed and I have no way of know what that is today
[17:58] <Kills> rhytmbox
[17:58] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[17:59] <crucialhoax> I made a small script that fetches the battery info in attempt to fix an incorrect low laptop battery warning, how do I get the script to run at startup and at 30 min intervals?
[17:59] <sinisterstuf> is there a way to change which applications start on startup using the terminal only? no startup applications gui thing?
[17:59] <sacarlson> Kills: well that's not my favorite.  I think it lacks a graphic equalizer but maybe they added it since I played with it.
[17:59] <rockhopper> hi
[17:59] <Kills> -.- I need to improve my sound quality lets not firget that
[17:59] <rockhopper> i have upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 netbook
[17:59] <RandomTime> !hi | rockhopper
[18:00] <headkase314> !maverick | rockhopper
[18:00] <edward__> how do i use ldapmodify to change the olcAccess settings?
[18:00] <rockhopper> and now when try to boot from it, it's not booting
[18:00] <rockhopper> just a blinker's blinking and no further booting!!
[18:00] <sacarlson> sinisterstuf: startup when you login or when you boot?  yes to both
[18:00] <rockhopper> its the same case when i try booting it from live usb
[18:00] <rockhopper> does anyone have any idea?
[18:01] <rockhopper> I'm able to boot from older kernel
[18:01] <rockhopper> but not the 2.35 something
[18:01] <rockhopper> I am able to boot from 2.6.32 but not 2.6.35
[18:01] <headkase314> !maverick | rockhopper
[18:03] <imanc> any one know where i can find a list of compatible printers?
[18:03] <imanc> for ubuntu
[18:03] <Delvien> imanc google.
[18:03] <Kills> any1 out there who knows how to deal with laptop sound quality problems?
[18:03] <sacarlson> rockhopper: I assume you upgraded the kernel and you had a propriatary driver running  before.  you need to disable that driver by moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:03] <Arpad2> i tried to make voip call with both qutecom and twinkle , but the recipient couldnt hear me, is it sth with codec, can snb help me , please?
[18:04] <ilovefairuz> !hardware | imanc
[18:04] <crucialhoax> Are there environment variables for a battery?
[18:04] <sacarlson> rockhopper: then completely remove the driver package you installed and reinstall it from the kernel you want to run.
[18:05] <ilovefairuz> crucialhoax: no, check /proc/acpi/battery
[18:05] <Delvien> crucialhoax: Ellaborate
[18:05] <imanc> ilovefairuz: cheers!
[18:05] <sacarlson> rockhopper: when I say move I mean mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.cong.org
[18:06] <rockhopper> err!!
[18:06] <rockhopper> sacarlson, if it doesn't have the config file, does it load?
[18:06] <crucialhoax> I want to write a script that does cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state and runs at startup and every 30 min
[18:06] <sinisterstuf> sacarlson: sorry afk, I mean when I log in. I'd like to know if there's a file with a list of applications that start on login so I can edit it or make a script to change it.
[18:06] <sacarlson> rockhopper: yes without the xorg.conf it boots to opensource drivers
[18:06] <imanc> gutted - it aint in the list :(
[18:07] <rockhopper> ok
[18:07] <Delvien> crucialhoax: Out of curiosity, what are you trying to accomplish with that?
[18:07] <rockhopper> sacarlson, then how to remove the driver package?
[18:07] <crucialhoax> Delvien: I read that on my specific netbook it resolves an incorrect low battery error
[18:07] <Delvien> crucialhoax: I see.
[18:08] <michal__> hello, my Blackberry suddenly wouldn't mount in Ubuntu anymore. It will mount in Live CD. Any ideas?
[18:08] <erUSUL> !cron | crucialhoax
[18:08] <ikonia> michal__: what's the error
[18:08] <erUSUL> crucialhoax: you will have to cat to a specific file
[18:08] <Delvien> crucialhoax: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ will help you right that script :)
[18:08] <sacarlson> sinisterstuf: yes look at System>preferences>startup applications
[18:08] <crucialhoax> Delvien: Yeah, could seem o get it. erUSUL I tried cron, didnt seem to work lol
[18:08] <bukcyball> erUSUL:I am facing some unusual problem regarding z-order of windows in ubuntu 10.04, gnome environment.
[18:09] <tracy69> hi everyone
[18:09] <crucialhoax> Delvien: Ok, ill check it out thanks :)
[18:09] <sacarlson> rockhopper: that depends on what driver you installed
[18:09] <rockhopper> sacarlson, there's no suck file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:09] <rockhopper> *such
[18:09] <michal__> ikonia: Everything was fine until recently when my Ubuntu wouldn't see the phone anymore. Upon "lsusb", I don't see Blackberry on the list of devices
[18:09] <sacarlson> rockhopper: then you must not have propratary drivers
[18:09] <Ianrr> I am new to Ubunto, switching from windows.  I used putty as my ssh client, and one thing I loved was I could hit tab and it would "autocomplete" directory names, exeutables or file names.... I am use the termal to ssh, is there a way to enable this
[18:09] <blink> what is a good video file converter for ubuntu? i want to convert .flv format into .3gb
[18:10] <ilovefairuz> michal__: change cable?
[18:10] <sacarlson> rockhopper: stick with the older kernel then
[18:10] <ikonia> michal__: what does the syslog show
[18:10] <tracy69> i said hi !!!!!!
[18:10] <bukcyball> what does one do, when computer doesn't boot and show only grub rescue prompt?
[18:10] <rockhopper> Is there any solution for me to boot with the newer kernel
[18:10] <Freudlund> Need advice, i accidentally installed ubuntu on my USB drive, now I want to rectify this(i had already partitioned a piece of c drive for Ubuntu) I want to reinstall, and remove the old ubuntu from USB drive, can i manually edit the grub options and just delete the partition from USB, or is there a more "correct" way?
[18:10] <jrib> Ianrr: that's done by your shell, nothing to do with putty
[18:10] <th0r> blink: winff
[18:10] <sacarlson> rockhopper: remind you my spelling is not good I hope you looked close in near the spelling I provided
[18:10] <jjk9> Ianrr:  what ssh client
[18:11] <ilovefairuz> Ianrr: autocompletion is a feature of the shell, not SSH
[18:11] <tensorpudding> Freudlund: you can just edit the partition table and reformat
[18:11] <jjk9> Ianrr:  oops terminal
[18:11] <michal__> ilovefairuz: I tried a different cable but no chage
[18:11] <ilovefairuz> bukcyball: using Wubi?
[18:11] <VCoolio> !hi | tracy69
[18:11] <ZykoticK9> Ianrr, what is the output of "echo $SHELL"
[18:11] <ilovefairuz> michal__: sudo tail -f /var/log/messages ... and then plug it in
[18:12] <Freudlund> tensorpudding, can i do this from install disc?
[18:12] <Ianrr> ZykoticK9: bofore I connect, or after
[18:12] <ZykoticK9> Ianrr, after
[18:12] <Rods_Tiger> I?ve just installed 10.04 on someone?s machine and the migration assistant claimed to offer to move all the accounts and such over, which was accepted. But it didn?t! How can I run it again now it?s installed?
[18:12] <J-On> Hi !
[18:12] <ZykoticK9> Ianrr, are you using the root account?
[18:12] <sacarlson> Freudlund: just gparted and delete and reformat the partitions you want to delete and add to it
[18:13] <Ianrr> ZykoticK9: both are /bin/bash, before and after I connect
[18:13] <Ianrr> ZykoticK9: no this is a user account
[18:13] <jrib> Ianrr: what are you sshing to?
[18:13] <tucemiux> I have everything installed in"/" and is encrypted, I cant boot up and want to change my fstab, can I do this using a live cd?
[18:13] <ZykoticK9> Ianrr, then i'm not sure why you don't have tab autocomplete - best of luck.
[18:13] <Ianrr> jrib: a remove server (CentOS)
[18:13] <PTBD> hallo. if I install the 10.10 beta will I have to download and install the final 10.10 or will the beta be updated to final?
[18:13] <Ianrr> jrib:remote
[18:14] <sinisterstuf> sacarlson: thanks, I've used that, but I'd like to edit the startup applicatinos from the command line
[18:14] <michal__> ikonia: how do I get the syslog or what exactly do you need from there?
[18:14] <tucemiux> PTBD, ubuntu+1
[18:14] <tucemiux> PTBD, #ubuntu+1
[18:14] <PTBD> huh?
[18:14] <sacarlson> PTBD: 10.10 will be changeing until the date that is it's end of life.  it changes daily
[18:14] <Ianrr> ZykoticK9: my fault, I'm retarded.  I just changed my /home directory structure last week after 3 years of it being the same
[18:14] <ikonia> michal__: the syslog is in /var/log/messages
[18:14] <Ianrr> ZykoticK9: so I was trying to autocomplete a directory that wasn't there
[18:14] <jrib> Ianrr: so it works?
[18:14] <Ianrr> Jrib: yes
[18:14] <jrib> Ianrr: heh
[18:15] <ZykoticK9> Ianrr, glad you figrued it out :)
[18:15] <headkase314> Hooray!  I lost my wireless connection and it did not freeze the computer with vertical bars displayed!  The only thing I changed was specifying an additional parameter in my sound hardware's configuration!  Before losing wireless was a freeze condition!  So it seems it was a resource conflict!
[18:15] <Ianrr> Jrib: While I'm here, one more question :)   I have this integrated chat, and it lets me add IRC... but I couldnt figure out how to view the actually channl, it would just let me msg individual users
[18:15] <sacarlson> sinisterstuf: well there are ways to do that but  I never do.  there are ways to change all the values in the gui envirnment but I forget how.  can some one tell him?
[18:15] <jrib> Ianrr: "integrated chat"?
[18:16] <Ianrr> jrib: Upper right hand site, it lets me add IRC under "Chat Accounts"
[18:16] <Ianrr> Jrib:side
[18:16] <Muscovy> Does anyone know if there's a way in lftp to exclude directories with the mirror command?
[18:16] <th0r> Ianrr: you using pidgin?
[18:16] <ZykoticK9> Ianrr, that's called Empathy - and it's terrible with IRC a real client is MUCH better
[18:16] <sacarlson> sinisterstuf: and I mean in gnome the one I use.  there is a utilty to do that.  I'm not sure that you run standard gnome.
[18:17] <jrib> Ianrr: ah, don't bother with empathy for irc
[18:17] <Ianrr> ZykoticK9, jrob: ok thanks.  Is it ok for Gchat etc?  I am using XChat for IRC now
[18:17] <smw> Ianrr, xchat is good
[18:17] <ZykoticK9> Ianrr, Empthy is great for IM, just not IRC ;)
[18:17] <jjk9> jrib:  what's yr fav irc client?
[18:17] <Delvien> irssi > most other clients, but you have to like terminal based apps  :)
[18:18] <jrib> Ianrr: yeah, works great otherwise.  But irc is a different beast.  Even the author admits empathy isn't really good at irc :)
[18:18] <jrib> jjk9: weechat!
[18:18] <AlleyKatt> hi people, need advice on booting/formatting a laptop if anyone got a moment...
[18:18] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: ask away
[18:18] <jjk9> jjk9:  off to get info on weechat
[18:18] <Ianrr> ZykoticK9, Jrib: ok last question for sure... I have my development site mapped to a webdav folder.  In windows I could use tortus SVN to view the status of files... Is it possible to do that on Ubuntu?
[18:19] <michal__> ikonia: what is the website to post the information here? I don't recall it, smth like dropbox
[18:19] <ZykoticK9> Ianrr, sorry i've never used webdav so no idea.  good luck.
[18:19] <ikonia> !pastebin | michal__
[18:19] <jrib> Ianrr: I don't know about gui clients for webdav.  Maybe you can do it with nautilus (file -> connect to server) or with a nautilus extension of some sort.  Personally, I use cadaver, but it's command line
[18:19] <Ianrr> ZykoticK9, Jrib: Ok thanks.  Either way I love Ubuntu.  Esp being a developer its like if someone wrote an OS with me in mind
[18:20] <AlleyKatt> its a HP Pavillion Entertainment laptop, had Win7
[18:21] <sinisterstuf> sacarlson: well thanks for all your help...
[18:21] <AlleyKatt> primary HD was split in 2, C: (100gb) and D: (400gb) and the D-drive was bitlocked...
[18:21] <sacarlson> sinisterstuf: I see this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347089
[18:21] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: bitlocked? did you get an error that it was locked by somethingsomething*windows*something?
[18:21] <AlleyKatt> I could format the system partition (100mb) and C-drive with the Windows install cd
[18:22] <Legend_Xeon> why hackers hate windows and love linux ??
[18:22] <AlleyKatt> but not the D-drive, win7 x64 installer keeps sayin' that its dynamic
[18:22] <ZykoticK9> !ot | Legend_Xeon
[18:22] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: Are you trying to install linux or win7?
[18:22] <Legend_Xeon> ok
[18:23] <sacarlson> Legend_Xeon: they know that windows is weak and linux is stronger in security
[18:23] <J-On> Hi there, I'm having a damn issue with my VLC, here is the thing, I have a DVB-T thingy, and i'd like to receive the terrestrial Video (don't really know how it's called in english), so my w_scan can't find anything, i mean, it finds it, but doesn't write it in the destination file
[18:23] <J-On> It's saying "Info: NIT(actual) filter timeout", It would be awesome if someone could help me out with that :D
[18:23] <Legend_Xeon> thanks for the response
[18:23] <AlleyKatt> trying to install ubuntu 10.04 lts desktop x64, I tried to make ubuntu take over the full HD, but it gets to about 15% then says theres an i/o error
[18:23] <Frelon> about:config
[18:23] <gabriel> Hey all, How can I install the latest gnome version?
[18:24] <tucemiux> how do you mount an extended ext3 partition?
[18:24] <ikonia> gabriel: you can't
[18:24] <AlleyKatt> Delvien: both, actually - primary thing right now is just getting the whole drive properly cleaned out
[18:24] <ikonia> gabriel: you wait for ubuntu to update it's packages, then they will get offered to you
[18:24] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: format the drive first with gparted (under system)
[18:24] <ZykoticK9> AlleyKatt, check the md5 of your image (or cdrom), an i/o error could be from the cd, or caused by the cd driver - or from your HD (worse issue)
[18:24] <gabriel> ikonia, why can't I install GNOME Shell 2.31.2
[18:24] <RobinJ> lol bots :D
[18:24] <ikonia> gabriel: gnome shell is not gnome
[18:25] <sacarlson> tucemiux: just go to Places>computer>click  the drive you want to automount
[18:25] <brontoeee> whats the correct way to add 2nd partition on lucid lynx? like for /data for example, is there a graphical tool?
[18:25] <sipior> gabriel: you always have the option of building the latest gnome release from source. better pack a lunch, though...
[18:25] <ikonia> brontoeee: gparted
[18:25] <RobinJ> GPartEd brontoeee
[18:25] <ZykoticK9> brontoeee, add the driver you your fstab file (i don't know a gui method)
[18:25] <overlordm2> hey can someone help me with this?
[18:25] <gabriel> ikonia, thanks m8
[18:25] <AlleyKatt> Delvien: problem is booting up ubuntu live just gives me a blank desktop... nice background, but nothing else...
[18:25] <Legend_Xeon> Can i install windows after ubuntu ?
[18:25] <tucemiux> sacarlson, how mount an ext3 partition **manually***, it seems it's an ext4, gparted is saying its ext3
[18:26] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: then your livecd is borked.
[18:26] <RobinJ> Legend_Xeon: yes you can, but you'll have to restore grub afterward
[18:26] <ZykoticK9> Legend_Xeon, yes, but you'll need to reinstall GRUB after
[18:26] <headkase314> Legend_Xeon, install Windows first or Windows will clobber the bootloader.
[18:26] <brontoeee> ikonia, i used disk utility (gparted) to format and mount, will this automount on boot now?
[18:26] <Legend_Xeon> how ?
[18:26] <Solved> I just installed ubutntu 10.04 home edition onto my computer and now it says i have to do mainetenance on the computer, however I do not know what commands to use.
[18:26] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 | Legend_Xeon
[18:26] <sacarlson> tucemiux: that is manualy in a graphic envirnment.  you need cli?
[18:26] <Legend_Xeon> ok
[18:26] <Legend_Xeon> Thanks so much
[18:26] <ikonia> brontoeee: no, you have to update /etc/fstab
[18:27] <AlleyKatt> hitting ctrl-alt-del a few times gives me the shutdown dialog, but the mouse cursor (which was visible when asking about install/run Live) is invisible and no menus or anything
[18:27] <overlordm2> My menu icons are all greyscale for some reason
[18:27] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: re-download the .iso, and re-burn it :) or if your laptop boots to USB, do it that way
[18:28] <AlleyKatt> hmm so b0rked livecd... I burned the image off ubuntu.com at 4x, too fast?
[18:28] <tucemiux> sacarlson, i can do it with a GUI, thank you, i have to use the command line
[18:28] <Solved> I am trying to download ubuntu 10.04 off of a CD, but nothing happens when I turn on the computer with it inside
[18:29] <ZykoticK9> !md5 | AlleyKatt
[18:29] <michal__> ikonia: here is the syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/489353/
[18:29] <sacarlson> tucemiux: you want to mount it at boot?  the modify /etc/fstab file
[18:29] <mobasher> Solved> check your bios boot sequence
[18:29] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: frankly, CD's are a medium which are undependable and imo should never be used. borked livecds burns are common, even at the lowest speed
[18:30] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: also depends on your burner/how old/brand/etc
[18:30] <brontoeee> ikonia, sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[18:30] <brontoeee>  ?
[18:30] <rob_p> AlleyKatt: More likely to be an incompatibility with your hardware. If you want to make sure your image is good, make an md5 of it and compare it against the sum listed on the Website.
[18:30] <tucemiux> sacarlson, no, i just wanted to mount it **manually**, it looks like the rescue cd I have doesnt support ext3, I have to download a newer rescue CD
[18:30] <overlordm2> i fixed it; nevermind
[18:30] <overlordm2> lol
[18:30] <sacarlson> tucemiux: also look at man mount  if you want to do mount and umount functions on the command line
[18:31] <mikebeecham> hi guys...I have added a locally-connected printer into localhost:631, but when I do a search for it on another machine on the same network, nothing appears.  Would someone mind guiding me?
[18:31] <sacarlson> tucemiux: well without a system that won't support ext3 then the commands won't help you need a kernel that will support it.
[18:31] <Solved> I am trying to download ubuntu 10.04 off of a CD, but nothing happens when I turn on the computer with it inside. I am a beginner to ubuntu, although I do understand the basics to the terminal
[18:32] <jonasfa> where can I find any docs on how to simulate a MultiTouch device?
[18:32] <Delvien> rob_p She burned it in win7, with the drivers that were installed with the burner more than likely. I doubt it was an incompatability with her hw :P
[18:32] <edward__> how do i use ldapmodify to change the olcAccess settings?
[18:32] <headkase314> Solved, have you verified that your computer is set to boot off of the cd-rom in your computers BIOS screen?
[18:32] <mobasher> Solved>> are you trying to boot from the CD ??
[18:32] <RandomTime> How do I reduce the default font size for application windows, etc?
[18:33] <headkase314> RandomTime, go to System > Preferences > Appearance and you will see the font options.
[18:33] <mobasher> Solved>> as said before check your bios boot sequence to see if u're booting off the CD first
[18:33] <ilovefairuz> Solved: did you burn the ISO image to a CD and changed BIOS settings to change boot order?
[18:33] <rob_p> Delvien: Either way, it's a waste of time to have them re-download the image.  If it's suspected of being corrupt, an md5 will answer it in a hurry.
[18:34] <Solved> I have a CD that I ordered from ubuntu. (10.04 LTS)
[18:34] <RandomTime> headkase314: thanks
[18:34] <headkase314> RandomTime, you're welcome! ;)
[18:34] <overlordm2> Good choice Solved
[18:34] <mobasher> Solved>> did you check the boot sequence of the computer ????
[18:35] <jarlg> Should downloading a regular .iso install from ubuntu.com, and dd'ing it to a usb-drive, result in a working, live cd pen? (dd if=iso of=/dev/sdX)
[18:35] <Tweaky> hi. having an issue updating libwebkit, and its now uninstalled, i get an error when reinstalling it, and its limiting my functionality.. even my software center disappeared. http://www.sendspace.com/file/0j6xt8 screenshot of error
[18:35] <Delvien> rob_p: Yes, but you assume everyone knows how to check the md5, it would take longer to explain that then telling people to just re-download (takes 15m and you can go make a sammich in the meantime)
[18:35] <jac0b> hai i have qa vunirability
[18:35] <jac0b> on my web server
[18:35] <AlleyKatt> Delvien: hm, seems you're right....
[18:35] <overlordm2> Try to see if you computer has an option while booting up to hit a key and choose right away what the boot device will be
[18:35] <erUSUL> jarlg: no; use unetbootin
[18:36] <overlordm2> unetbootin is good
[18:36] <sacarlson> Delvien: wow your intenet must be fast to think that you can download a system that fast.
[18:36] <jarlg> erUSUL: Is there any way to get a corresponding .img file?
[18:36] <Delvien> sacarlson: I download a full image in 6 minutes.
[18:36] <erUSUL> jarlg: dunno;
[18:36] <jarlg> erUSUL: Okay. Thanks. :)
[18:36] <AlleyKatt> uhmm... no... the md5 actually checks out
[18:37] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: how old/new is the laptop?
[18:37] <sacarlson> Delvien: remind you not everyone here is rich in bandwith like you.  like me in thailand we don't got it yet.
[18:37] <jac0b>  do i can founde ubintu vmare image
[18:37] <rob_p> Delvien: Not everyone has a broadband connection! Anyway, checking the md5 hash is pretty trivial.
[18:37] <mikebeecham> hi there, can someone please tell me how I can find my machines host name?
[18:37] <tucemiux> hostname
[18:38] <mikebeecham> heh...thanks
[18:38] <NetScr1be> good day unbuntans
[18:38] <jac0b> whate are using
[18:38] <John47> problem after upgrading to 10.10 beta - my dell mini 9 screen flashes after login, no GUI.  Any ideas?
[18:38] <linuxson26> How can I check which driver Lucid is using for my display card? It's causing some serious pixelation, and I suspect that it might be using the wrong one
[18:38] <Delvien> sacarlson: There are always torrents, which would be faster than an http dl. :P
[18:38] <mikebeecham> tucemiux, is there a way I can change my hostname?
[18:38] <headkase314> !maverick | John47
[18:38] <NetScr1be> trying filter server access by MAC address
[18:38] <Delvien> rob_p: Well they can make and eat 5 sammiches when tehy are downloading a new image :P
[18:38] <sacarlson> Delvien: well with my super fast 20kbyte per second I'm sure that would just take me...... 6 hours?
[18:38] <tucemiux> John47, im having the say problem, attempt to boot up into failsafe mode and you can get more error messages
[18:38] <jac0b> i can                help if you are using back track
[18:38] <AlleyKatt> Delvien: Pavillion dv6, about a year old
[18:39] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: humm.. you get gui at all?
[18:39] <linuxson26> How can I check which driver Lucid is using for my display card? It's causing some serious pixelation, and I suspect that it might be using the wrong one
[18:39] <John47> tucemiux: hmmm...troubling.
[18:39] <NetScr1be> the command: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 8889 -m mac --mac-source 00:23:76:54:39:5C -j ACCEPT
[18:39] <ilovefairuz> !backtrack > jac0b
[18:39] <AlleyKatt> this time it booted to live, still blank desktop, cursor now visible (black X)
[18:39] <John47> tucemiux: trying to boot into failsafe now
[18:40] <Delvien> linuxson26: gksu jockey-gtk, should have the proper one there, choose the more stable of the two if more than one shows (assuming you are using gnome)
[18:40] <NetScr1be> should result in only that MAC address being able to access tcp port 8889
[18:40] <NetScr1be> however ...
[18:40] <linuxson26> Delvien: thanx
[18:40] <AlleyKatt> maybe I can get a cli boot disk from somewhere with gparted?
[18:40] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: dv6 is an older laptop model i thought?
[18:41] <Delvien> huh i was wrong
[18:41] <AlleyKatt> or press some key combo during boot?
[18:41] <NetScr1be> sudo iptables -L | grep GMote  returns ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            /* 'dapp_GMote' */
[18:41] <NetScr1be> ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpt:9901 /* 'dapp_GMoteTouch' *
[18:41] <flupke> isn't there a standalone version of indicator-applet, that could run out of the default gnome tray/window manager ?
[18:41] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: When you boot up the livecd it gives you a couple options, you should see one that says "safe video mode" or something (been a long time since I installed from graphical)
[18:42] <linuxson26> Delvien: Hmmm...no proprietary drivers in use. I am currently also having difficulty with the ppp setup on this laptop, so I don't think that will, cause it can't connect to refresh
[18:42] <AlleyKatt> nah pretty ok new machine, born w/ win7 x64
[18:42] <Delvien> linuxson26: what gfx card do you use?
[18:42] <Rods_Tiger> I?ve just installed 10.04 on someone?s machine and the migration assistant claimed to offer to move all the accounts and such over, which was accepted. But it didn?t! How can I run it again now it?s installed?
[18:42] <jac0b> hey wher i can found ubuntu vmware
[18:42] <NetScr1be> in other words, it's accepting connects to those ports from anywhere
[18:42] <abhijeet> had anyone tried ubuntu 10.10 beta.. is it usable ?
[18:42] <logan_wolf> hi
[18:42] <AlleyKatt> hmm no..? Just boots to graphic interface, dialog comes up - run live or install?
[18:42] <logan_wolf> can anyone tell me how to install metasploit
[18:42] <linuxson26> Delvien: Hold on...I know its an ATI card...just checking on the specific model
[18:42] <Delvien> abhijeet: not yet ready for production machines :P
[18:43] <sipior> abhijeet: no, more or less by definition. only use it if you plan on filing bug reports.
[18:43] <Delvien> linuxson26: lspci should show you
[18:43] <abhijeet> Delvien, sipior.. ok guys..
[18:43] <sinisterstuf> sacarlson: thanks a lot, that's exactly what i needed
[18:43] <linuxson26> Delvien: Radeon Mobility 9200
[18:44] <michal__> ilovefairuz: I tried "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages", but did not work. I got a different output in terminal after I connected the phone
[18:44] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: yeah but there should be a hotkey, f6 IIRC, that will alow you to boot with safe video settings
[18:44] <NetScr1be> no ubuntu firewall gurrus in da house??
[18:44] <AlleyKatt> Delvien: should I unplug the external mouse during boot, could that be it?
[18:44] <sacarlson> sinisterstuf: cool glad to make you happy.
[18:44] <abhijeet> Delvien, sipior... Ubuntu 9.04 gave me nasty issues on my dell laptop. so I am waiting for the new release to test ..
[18:44] <AlleyKatt> ok will try, thx
[18:44] <Tweaky> hi. having an issue updating libwebkit, and its now uninstalled, i get an error when reinstalling it, and its limiting my functionality.. even my software center disappeared. http://www.sendspace.com/file/0j6xt8 screenshot of error http://pastebin.com/rQAz8rs8 pastebin of error
[18:44] <abhijeet> for time being i m shifted to other linux...
[18:44] <NetScr1be> abhijeet how old is laptop?
[18:44] <abhijeet> NetScr1be, 1Year
[18:44] <ilovefairuz> michal__: it's not supposed to make it "work" it's only to show what the machine does when the phone gets plugged, pastebin the messages that you go
[18:45] <ilovefairuz> !paste | michal__
[18:45] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: If a mouse is what is causing your livecd to boot up, i think we have a bigger problem than your install :P
[18:45] <rob_p> NetScr1be: What is your default policy for that chain set to?  If it's set to ACCEPT, then the rule for the mac address is trumped by the default policy.
[18:45] <Delvien> not boot up *
[18:45] <abhijeet> NetScr1be, I have already asked for help but no one can help me out..
[18:45] <sipior> abhijeet: there are two versions ubuntu that have been released since 9.04. does one of them not work?
[18:45] <edward__> how do i set defaultaccess using cn=config?
[18:45] <Rods_Tiger> How can I run the migration assistant?
[18:45] <abhijeet> sipior, i have not tried the second version...
[18:46] <Delvien> abhijeet: this is a busy channel, sometimes not all questions can be answered right away, best to try back in a few minutes if no one answers
[18:46] <NetScr1be> abhijeet, you'll probably have to bring the specific issues instead of shotgunning the problem
[18:46] <linuxson26> Delvien: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/494699
[18:46] <linuxson26> Delvien: Does this mean trouble??
[18:46] <ilovefairuz> Tweaky: are you running lucid?
[18:47] <RandomTime> In the clock preferences, there's a weather panel. Any way to get other locations from the ones listed?
[18:47] <Delvien> linuxson26: that was submitted almost a year ago
[18:47] <Tweaky> no. ubuntu 10.10. im aware this isnt 10.10 chat however i thought someone might be able to shed some light on how i could resolve
[18:47] <linuxson26> Delvien: Ahhh...sorry
[18:47] <ilovefairuz> RandomTime: type a city name in "Location" field and it should autocomplete
[18:48] <linuxson26> Delvien: I recently installed 10.04 on my laptop, after having used 9.10 for quite some time
[18:48] <abhijeet> Delvien, NetScrlble.. I have tried many times... I used it  for around 2 Months .. then I got frustrated with the issue and then switched to another linux.. but I can't live with out my favorite linux
[18:48] <ilovefairuz> !maverick | Tweaky
[18:48] <linuxson26> Delvien: And that worked just fine, except for a small tweak I had to make in the xorg.conf file
[18:48] <RandomTime> ilovefairuz: there only seems to be US cities in the list
[18:48] <mikebeecham> Hi there, could someone guide me through adding a printer through CUPS?  I have added my USB printer to CUPS, but my windows machine cannot detect it
[18:48] <Delvien> linuxson26: Well i know how i would solve your issue on archlinux, :P but that doesnt help. I'm pretty sure your card doesnt use the fglrx driver anyway.
[18:49] <NetScr1be> brb
[18:49] <RandomTime> ilovefairuz: ok, spelling error, sorry
[18:49] <michal__>  ilovefairuz: thank you very much. here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/489368/  http://paste.ubuntu.com/489374/
[18:49] <linuxson26> Delvien: Yeah....had pretty much no problems with it in Karmic
[18:49] <Delvien> linuxson26: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver check this wiki out
[18:50] <mikebeecham> I'll even say PLEASE, as I'm really desperatwe
[18:50] <Baribal> Hi. I got the Broadcom STA drivers working on a friends new laptop earlier, but I can't connect to our WLAN. When I activate the connection, there appears the symbol for connection seeking in the task bar, but it keeps cycling through its animation, then disconnects again.
[18:50] <kraetzja> i just addgrouped a user, but `id` still doesnt show the group. how do i update this without restarting?
[18:50] <axisys> in solaris coreadm tells where a core dump of an application will be placed.. what is equivalent in ubuntu linux ?
[18:51] <Baribal> So how can I find out what went wrong? And is there a tool to scan for all wireless networks?
[18:51] <axisys> i am getting segmentation fault and i dont see any core file where I am running from
[18:51] <kraetzja> baribal, iwlist <dev> scanning, if you have wireless-tool
[18:51] <kraetzja> s
[18:51] <jac0b> i need a security info
[18:51] <jrib> kraetzja: log out and back in
[18:51] <Delvien> mikebeecham: if your printer has linux drivers for it, im sure there is a guide online. You ask a very specific question without detail, best to consult google first.
[18:52] <Delvien> mikebeecham: printername + ubuntu + how to
[18:52] <ZykoticK9> !google | Delvien
[18:52] <Baribal> kraetzja, Thanks, checking... as soon as he gets back from the toilet to enter his screensaver password. ^^
[18:52] <mcl_> how can i reset my gnome desktop, messed it up
[18:52] <Delvien> zykotick9 please dont ! me.
[18:52] <mikebeecham> Delvien, I've had it working before, but had to reinstall my OS...since then there is nothing set up.  I'm sure that I set it up correctly though
[18:52] <Ianrr> I'm getting this message a lot if I have files open in an ssh terminal (using vim)  "Write failed: Broken pipe"
[18:53] <headkase314> !panels | mcl_
[18:53] <linuxson26> Delvien: Hmmm... Only problem is, it's gonna take me forever without an internet connection on the laptop
[18:53] <brontoeee> ikonia, did the trick, not sure if mkdir /mountpoint is to be done in /  thought?
[18:53] <Delvien> linuxson26: Such is the life of a OS that has online repos.
[18:54] <mcl_> thx a lot
[18:54] <headkase314> mcl_, you're welcome.
[18:54] <apidya2006> Hey peeps anybody familiar with ireport?
[18:55] <Baribal> iwlist -> "Interface doesn't support scanning"
[18:55] <men19> hi
[18:55] <linuxson26> Delvien: Yeah...but thanx anyway for all the help
[18:55] <linuxson26> Delvien: Appreciate
[18:56] <AlleyKatt> Delvien: f6 did turn off the nice "ubuntu . . . . ." logo screen during boot some of the way, getting a load of i/o errors... must be bad image I guess, several of the errors regarded dpkg-something (2 of'em)
[18:57] <AlleyKatt> Ill try burning with Nero 10 instead of ImgBurn, I guess
[18:57] <linuxson26> Delvien: Having problems with the network manager not showing my newly created GSM connection. You wouldn't know anything on fixing that, would you?
[18:57] <linuxson26> Delvien: Tried both down- and upgrading network manager, and nothing worked

[18:59] <gordon_> this is stupid
[18:59] <tucemiux> i downloaded the latest updates, now my machine freezes after it boots up, any ideas, anyone?
[18:59] <Delvien> gordon_: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please :)
[18:59] <Ianrr> Where would I find the ssh settings file?
[19:00] <NetScr1be> GSM?
 what kind of setting ?
[19:01] <Ianrr> mobasher:  On windows with puddy I set keepalive = 60 and it would prevent my ssh sessions from timing out

[19:01] <punkrockmcduck> Does anyone have any experience with LDAP on Ubuntu?
[19:01] <mobasher> Ianrr>> i believe in the home directory ..check in .ssh folder

[19:01] <punkrockmcduck> I'm having trouble setting up an ubuntu machine to act as an LDAP client

[19:03] <usc911> it just tabs like 7 spaces each time
[19:04] <AlleyKatt> oh ok, can try that... very strange with the varying errors, maybe the drive...
[19:04] <AlleyKatt> ended up in a busybox 1.13.3 cli this time..
[19:04] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: here we are: When you put in the CD and it shows you the screen with a little picture of a keyboard and a cutout person at the bottom, hit a key on your keyboard. At the menu that appears, use the "Check CD for defects" option.
[19:04] <jac0b> hai
[19:05] <ziarkaen> Don't use Ubuntu myself; Which is the best 5-minute guide to teach my friend the fundamentals of GNU/Linux including filesystem, users, permissions, basic command-line and package management (apt obviously)?
[19:05] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: if that comes out with no errors, your HDD might be having some problems.
[19:05] <punkrockmcduck> ziarkaen: You're probably gonna need more than five minutes.
[19:05] <ziarkaen> 10?
[19:05] <ziarkaen> He doesn't have a long attention span
[19:05] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: Most HP laptops have a system utility that you can boot to and check the HDD for errors, if all else fails, do this
[19:06] <AlleyKatt> oh, very neat'n'clever, that... just hit that
[19:06] <ziarkaen> But has managed to install the game UT2004 by himself without understanding anything he was doing (as root btw)
[19:06] <jac0b> seek people
[19:06] <AlleyKatt> yup, did that earlier Delvien - no errors found, was first check I did in bios
[19:06] <jac0b> hai evry 1
[19:06] <AlleyKatt> took like 2 hours
[19:07] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: From everything that you've said, it soundslike your HDD is the issue.
[19:07] <Shinydan> evening all
[19:07] <AlleyKatt> now got ubuntu logo ..... again, and below it seems to be checking the files :) this at least is kinda progress hehe
[19:08] <BlaDe^> is it possible to remotely upgrade to 10.04 but to a fresh copy?
[19:08] <Delvien> jac0b: Hello. There is no need to say hi more than once :) if you have a question, please ask, if you want to just chat, you can /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:08] <BlaDe^> my server is in co-loc and I don't want to bring it home really

[19:09] <Delvien> Shinydan: what kind of speed problems?
[19:09] <AlleyKatt> could be it, Delvien - reason for format was constantly filled c-drive, maybe its b0rked... hmm should "Checking ./casper/filesystem.squashfs" take several minutes?
[19:10] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: It should, yes
[19:10] <AlleyKatt> it has red/whited the dots like 10 times over that one file so far
[19:10] <jac0b> join hack5
[19:10] <AlleyKatt> ok brying to be patient then hehe
[19:10] <BlaDe^> Delvien: is there any way I can get it close to a fresh-install from an upgrade?
[19:10] <AlleyKatt> trying*
[19:10] <Shinydan> Delvien: Rhythmbox is skipping like mad, internet speed is tending to zero. It could be I'm trying to do too much.

[19:11] <rascal999> how do i change gdm resolution?
[19:11] <Delvien> BlaDe^: Not.. really. Unless you manually purge conf files and purge packages, but that could take forever and you could seriously bork something.

[19:12] <HektoR_> hello guys ... can i work with three monitor together with asus and nvidia video cards ?
[19:12] <Solved> I have alot of very important files on an older operating system of ubuntu that I tried to upgrade and will now not start up (it says I need to do maintenance, and that mountall main process was illed by ABRT). What can I do to get back those files safely?
[19:13] <Delvien> AlleyKatt: Well hopefully that fixes the issue for you. Could of already been done and on your way if we just did that to begin with :P
[19:13] <Delvien> ./smuggrin
[19:13] <Tweaky> solved: boot from livecd
[19:13] <appi_uppi> jrib, :),
[19:14] <Delvien> Shinydan: well.. weird resolution would imply gfx card. have you used jockey to get the proper drivers?
[19:15] <Delvien> solved easy if you have physical access to the machine
[19:15] <Shinydan> Delvien: No. I shall do that now.
[19:15] <juliohm> what is the most known feed reader for Gnome?
[19:15] <Delvien> solved you can just boot to a live cd, and copy the files you need to a USB drive.
[19:15] <mobasher> Solved >> you should have backed up those first..but what is it saying when booting up
[19:15] <Delvien> Shinydan: gksu jockey-gtk (if you are using gnome)
[19:15] <Kills> why doesn't adding facebook to my broadcast accounts doesnt do anything
[19:16] <trism> juliohm: liferea?
[19:16] <Delvien> juliohm: ^ i concur with trism
[19:16] <juliohm> tnks!
[19:16] <murlidhar> {  text-shadow: 0px 0px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); } how can i use this in fonts.conf ?
[19:16] <romulo> hi all
[19:17] <Shinydan> Delvien: Comes back with "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[19:17] <Delvien> Kills: Well mine works, make sure you are fully updated, and have the right UN/PW in.
[19:17] <Delvien> Shinydan: old hardware eh?
[19:17] <Kills> it just doesn't add, though it says it authorized facebook
[19:17] <Delvien> Shinydan: have you tried changing the resolution under system>pref>monitors
[19:17] <Shinydan> Delvien: A few years, yeah, which is why I'm thinking I might be trying too much at one time.
[19:17] <TooR4u> Hi, i am trying to install ubuntu 9.10 version in my external hdd. But, the installation is freezing while detecting the filesystem type. The file system health is very good. I can mount the partition.
[19:17] <linuxson26> Can anyone help me with Network Manager? It's not showing my newly created GSM connection.
[19:17] <_mrn_ver_> hi all
[19:18] <linuxson26> Running Lucid
[19:18] <usc911> figured it out all good
[19:18] <mobasher> TooR4u>> what is exact error?
[19:18] <Shinydan> Delvien: It's recognising the monitor fine, and when I boot from switch-off it works fine. It's only when I use the on/off button on the taskbar that things go wrong
[19:18] <_mrn_ver_> why not the atomatic mounted  partitions get shown in etc/fstab file in ubuntu 10.04?
[19:18] <romulo> I decide to delete windows partition and now I'm trying to use the unallocated space without success... does any1 knows how to resize my ubuntu extended partition?
[19:18] <TooR4u> mobasher, 1min
[19:19] <linuxson26> romulo: Use gparted
[19:19] <aeon-ltd> _mrn_ver_: because gnome has its own volume manager
[19:19] <mobasher> !pastebin TooR4u
[19:19] <ssd532> romulu, have u tried gparted?
[19:19] <aeon-ltd> romulo: how are you trying to do this?
[19:19] <ravn> hi guys, anyone know if there are any programs to work with chopro chord files? In particular to format lyrics in chopro format nice?
[19:19] <_mrn_ver_> but it was not in ubuntu 9.04 or easrliers. m i right?
[19:19] <Shinydan> Delvien: it might be two separate questions or two aspects of the same one. Main problem: is there anything obviously wrong with my setup, and if there is, how can I tell?
[19:20] <aeon-ltd> _mrn_ver_: no , i think it was
[19:20] <dpac_> ravn, Try the windows version of program you used on wine
[19:20] <romulo> I already tried gparted without success...
[19:20] <mobasher> TooR4u>> use pastebin to post the message
[19:20] <aeon-ltd> romulo: are you using the liveCD?
[19:20] <romulo> I use my Ubuntu Live CD
[19:20] <mobasher> !pastebin
[19:20] <linuxson26> romulo: did you try running it as a live cd?
[19:20] <romulo> yep
[19:20] <_mrn_ver_> so ,is it further modified to mount the partitions automatically but not to show the details?
[19:20] <aeon-ltd> romulo: is the partition and free space adjacent?
[19:20] <Delvien> Shinydan: so it screws up when you hit an applet on gnome-panel?
[19:21] <ssd532> romulo, I think you are doing something wrong.
[19:21] <Shinydan> Delvien: Yes.
[19:21] <ravn> dpac_: huh? i did not use any wine-program...
[19:21] <Delvien> Shinydan: gnome environment right?
[19:21] <Grappleseed> Hey #ubuntu, I'm looking to install linux for the first time, is there any channels i should go to for advice or help?
[19:21] <Shinydan> Delvien: Yep
[19:21] <ssd532> Grappleseed, just install
[19:21] <aeon-ltd> Grappleseed: here if you have a problem
[19:21] <dpac_> ravn, What program you used on windows for the job you mentioned?
[19:21] <Delvien> Shinydan: alt+f2 input: "metacity --replace" without quotes, hit enter
[19:21] <murlidhar> {  text-shadow: 0px 0px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); } ...................how can i use this in fonts.conf ?
[19:21] <romulo> windows part were before the extended one
[19:22] <Delvien> Shinydan: hit that same applet
[19:22] <_mrn_ver_> aeon-ltd: my question  is ,why  in previous versions the volume manager used to mount the partitions  by itself?
[19:22] <Delvien> Shinydan: still happen?
[19:22] <linuxson26> romulo: what error/error code does it give you when trying to resize the partition?
[19:22] <aeon-ltd> _mrn_ver_: it still does it, doesn't it?
[19:22] <Shinydan> Delvien: Will have to close the machine down to find out. 8) Brb.
[19:22] <Delvien> Shinydan: np
[19:23] <TooR4u> mobasher, http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2249/screenshotk.png
[19:23] <Grappleseed> allright, thanks
[19:23] <dpac_> !install
[19:23] <TooR4u> mobasher, my partition table configuration is, http://pastebin.ca/1934503
[19:23] <Solved> Tweaky
[19:23] <Solved> ?
[19:23] <_mrn_ver_> aeon-ltd: but since i am using the ubuntu 8.04 ,i had to mount all the other disk partitions manually. but  from ubuntu 10.04 it is fixed and done as u said by vilume manager automatically
[19:23] <aeon-ltd> romulo: they have to be adjacent to expand
[19:23] <dpac_> Grappleseed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[19:23] <ssd532> romuo, I am not sure but you can not use that space without deleting extended partition
[19:23] <romulo> no error codes, gparted doesn't allow use unallocated space
[19:24] <_mrn_ver_> aeon-ltd: so can u please elaborate on it?
[19:24] <Solved> I have alot of important files on an older version of ubuntu that I tried to upgrade and can now not boot up. help!
[19:24] <romulo> but if I delete the extend I will lose my Ubuntu installation
[19:24] <ssd532> Solved use live cd and take backup
[19:24] <aeon-ltd> _mrn_ver_: not sure, it probably just got better at detecting partitions and new devices, or it has something to do with ditching HAL and relying more on udev
[19:24] <linuxson26> romulo: So you are just trying to make your current partition larger? If I understand this correctly?
[19:24] <mobasher> TooR4u>> are you running LiveCD?
[19:24] <dpac_> romulo, Is the unallocated space outside extended partition?
[19:25] <TooR4u> mobasher, yah ..
[19:25] <xcyclist> I cannot get an internet connection on my thinkpad t410 with my install disks.  I tried both 10.10 and now 10.04.
[19:25] <romulo> is it possible to send a .png file here with my gparted screen/
[19:25] <mobasher> TooR4u>> and what were you trying to do again ?
[19:25] <aeon-ltd> romulo: pastebin
[19:25] <ZykoticK9> !paste | romulo
[19:25] <romulo> ok
[19:25] <_mrn_ver_> aeon-ltd: sorry,but i have checked  that  udev utility is not installed in my system .can u  tell me out to figure it out?
[19:26] <xcyclist> Thinkpad t410 does not connect to Internet with install disk 10.04 nor 10.10.
[19:26] <ZykoticK9> xcyclist, wireless or wired?
[19:26] <TooR4u> i am trying to install ubuntu in my external hdd. when the live cd is trying to detect the filesystems the installation is freezing and giving the error shown in the image.
[19:26] <_mrn_ver_> aeon-ltd: i  mean to figure  it out.
[19:26] <xcyclist> ZykoticK9: wired
[19:26] <xcyclist> And I've checked the wire.
[19:26] <aeon-ltd> _mrn_ver_: i won't know for sure, i haven't used ubuntu in a year. but it might help if you look up what ubuntu replaced HAL with
[19:26] <TooR4u> mobasher, i am having this problem from couple of days...
[19:26] <Shinydan> back
[19:27] <TooR4u> mobasher, the problem is, it is not able to detect the filesystem type....
[19:27] <Delvien> xcyclist: have you clicked on network manager applet and selected eth(0)
[19:27] <mobasher> TooR4u >> which sdb are you trying to install ?
[19:27] <Shinydan> Delvien: That worked a treat
[19:27] <xcyclist> ZykoticK9:  It has a w7 install, and when I boot that, it comes up and talks on the internet.
[19:27] <Kills> how to view something that doesn't fit in the screen like the authorizacion of broadcast accounts?
[19:27] <TooR4u> mobasher, sdb5
[19:27] <Delvien> Shinydan: so that worked for you?
[19:27] <xcyclist> Delvien:  No...
[19:27] <Delvien> xcyclist: might do that :)
[19:27] <dpac_> Kills, you mean in the terminal?
[19:27] <janisozaur> hello. I use terminal a lot via gnome-terminal application. I have my background set to be transparent (about 20-30%), scrollback set to ~5000 lines and I have a nvidia gf8600 with latest proprietary drivers. Sometimes scrolling in my terminal comes to a crawl. If I launch another instance of terminal it scrolls fast, usually also if I wait some time it fixes itself in the terminal. Anyone has an idea what may cause it and how to fix i
[19:27] <janisozaur> t?
[19:28] <Kills> no on Braodcast accounts
[19:28] <mobasher> TooR4u >> just out of curiosity did you back up everything you have ...seems like u are using only one drive there
[19:28] <Kills> the window is too long for my laptop screen and the bottom half is hidden i cant see it
[19:28] <xcyclist> Delvien:  Network Connections u8nder Preferences?
[19:28] <_mrn_ver_> aeon-ltd:  i have used " udevinfo -v" .can u check it out on  your system(if using ubuntu)
[19:28] <trism> Kills: you should be able to hold ALT and drag the window with the mouse
[19:28] <Delvien> janisozaur: its the amount of lines you are scrolling back bud :) it's having to read the file and load it into memory
[19:28] <Kills> thx
[19:28] <ZykoticK9> trism, that way my thought as well, but i doubt it will work for a menu
[19:29] <TooR4u> mobasher, that is my external hdd configuration. I dint not paste the internal hdd details
[19:29] <Delvien> xcyclist: no its on your gnome-panel, top right side, should have an icon like a network connection, left click it
[19:29] <Delvien> Shinydan: did that work?
[19:29] <linuxson26> Can anyone help me with Network Manager? It's not showing my newly created GSM connection.
[19:29] <_mrn_ver_> aeon-ltd: so how can we make sure that a perticular partition is mounted on which node in filesystem?
[19:29] <romulo> !pastebin
[19:29] <Kills> why i can't authorize my facebook account it just says Success everywhere and then nuthin happen
[19:29] <TooR4u> mobasher, if i remove my external hdd, then i am able to go to the next screen .. (I am able to install the operating system in the internal hdd)
[19:30] <Delvien> linuxson26: its not a common thing to deal with, have you combed the forums + google?
[19:30] <janisozaur> Delvien, do you really think so?  have 6GB of ram and system monitor applet says that programs use 45% and 54% is used by buffers (whatever the buffers are)
[19:30] <mobasher> TooR4u >> okay so you want to use the whole sdb or just sdb5 ?
[19:30] <xcyclist> Devien:  The one that shows is for wireless, not the usual up / down arrow thing I see on my other laptop for wired.
[19:30] <brandon420> quick question, why is it when i type "uptime" it says 7 users, when im in the only user on this computer, me and root.
[19:30] <aeon-ltd> _mrn_ver_: not sure, sorry. i'm not really a heavily experienced user when it comes to partitions
[19:30] <linuxson26> Delvien: Yip. Left a thread on forums, and that was like 4 days ago. No replies
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Kills: in gwibber or the website?
[19:30] <TooR4u> mobasher, just a change.. i am trying to install the operating system in sdb2. Not sdb5
[19:30] <Delvien> janisozaur: the amount of memory is negligable, its when its loaded into that memory that takes a lil. Why do you need 5k lines anyway? that's insanely high
[19:30] <ssd532>  _mrn_ver, df
[19:30] <TooR4u> sorry
[19:30] <Kills> gwibber
[19:30] <janisozaur> Delvien, I mean it sounds possible, but I can't recall if it also happens on my laptop which is rather lower specced than my desktop. Also, there is a lot of ram...
[19:30] <TooR4u> mobasher, i am trying to install in sdb2
[19:31] <brandon420>  quick question, why is it when i type "uptime" it says 7 users, when im in the only user on this computer, me and root.
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: have you connected to the system via ssh?
[19:31] <trism> ZykoticK9: I figured you authorized it like with twitter, in the gwibber-accounts window, which is ALT draggable here
[19:31] <brandon420> no.
[19:31] <Delvien> xcyclist: open a terminal and input: ifconfig, pastebin the info
[19:31] <_mrn_ver_> ok aeon-ltd ,can  anyone please responde the post ?
[19:31] <Delvien> !pastebin | xcyclist
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> Kills: try the gwibber ppa or the proposed ppa in software sources
[19:31] <brandon420> ActionParsnip, i have connected to other computers vis ssh, one currently running.
[19:31] <_mrn_ver_> responde to the post
[19:31] <janisozaur> Delvien, well I might tone it down a bit, but trust me, some gcc errors take up all this space :P
[19:32] <ZykoticK9> trism, my bad then ;)
[19:32] <Kills> ActionParsnip:  how to do that its my second day on ubuntu please be more precise
[19:32] <Delvien> janisozaur: haha, i feel ya.
[19:32] <BiggFREE> What is a ppa ?
[19:32] <mobasher> okay ...just to let you know since you are working with partitions on that drive... iwould recomend that you back the data on the other partitions incase you end up erasing them...even if you are installing on the external drive or whatever it is...you can't install from LiveCD you have to boot the HD

[19:32] <hsr> Hello
[19:33] <BiggFREE> janisozaur: headkase314Thanks :)
[19:33] <headkase314> BiggFREE, usually they contain newer versions of applications that you can't get from the standard Ubuntu repositories
[19:33] <Delvien> man i wish they would shorten the ubottu responses.
[19:33] <hsr> From where i can download UNIX ?
[19:33] <xcyclist> I have no media, so I'll have to type it in...
[19:33] <BiggFREE> Thanks a lot :)
[19:33] <cuddlefish> !download > hsr
[19:33] <Delvien> xcyclist: no need, do you see ethX (X standing for a number)
[19:33] <janisozaur> Delvien, your assumption sounds likely, but I'd like to confirm it. Any ideas other than recompiling/hooking into gnome-terminal in suspicious places?
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Kills: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-team/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:34] <Delvien> janisozaur: not really sure, never dabbled with it, I only use 512 lines :)
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Kills: paste all that as one command in terminal
[19:34] <aeon-ltd> hsr: what do you mean?
[19:34] <romulo> linuxson26, I sent you my gparted scrn
[19:34] <Delvien> janisozaur: otherwise, run gnome-terminal from another terminal and try what you were doing, see if you are getting erros
[19:34] <mobasher> TooR4u> just becareful...as I said since you are trying to install on logical partition...just make sure you backup the data when you run the install installation...run it from CD don't run the livecd to install ubuntu
[19:34] <Delvien> errors*
[19:35] <hsr> UNIX and not linux
[19:35] <janisozaur> Delvien, ah, good idea. though I'm not sure it will spurt out this many warnings as any kde app...
[19:35] <Shinydan> Delvien: Yes, that's worked perfectly. I'll go and hammer my machine a bit and see if the response time is up at all. Thank you.
[19:35] <Kills> ActionParsnip:  now what>?
[19:35] <mobasher> TooR4u> setup the bios to boot from the CD and then run the install and select the appropriate partition to install on
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> hsr: this is ubuntu support only. The guys in #ubuntu-offtopic may know
[19:35] <mobasher> TooR4u> BRB 10 mins
[19:35] <romulo> linuxson26, I just want to expand my extended partition
[19:36] <Delvien> Shinydan: Go into appearance, and turn off special effects. It's your 3d thats borking you.
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Kills: did it upgrade gwibber?
[19:36] <Delvien> Shinydan:  I had a hunch, but you should look into getting your gfx card driver working properly, and that should solve most your problems
[19:36] <aeon-ltd> hsr: still not getting you, unix is linux and bsd (well the ones for free anyway)
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> aeon-ltd: bsd is different dude

[19:36] <Delvien> and mac osx: P
[19:37] <aeon-ltd> ActionParsnip: its unix based though
[19:37] <hsr> aeon-ltd: No they are not the same - unix, unix-like and linux are different
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Kills: all I can suggest then is to log a bug. There are tonnes of clients for that sort of stuff. Omgubuntu review one nearly daily
[19:38] <Delvien> hsr Regardless, this isnt the channel you should be asking. If it's not specically about ubuntu and ubuntu support, you should be asking elsewhere
[19:38] <janisozaur> when I change my wallpaper in gnome-appearance-properties, there is some lag. Is it considered a bug in gnome? any chance to see it change wallpaper more promptly?

[19:38] <TooR4u> mobasher, Hey, livecd and installation cd are bundled together .. (They are in the same cd). now i am in livecd mode. :)
[19:38] <Shinydan> Delvien: My Visual Effects are already off - or did you mean something else?
[19:38] <janisozaur> ActionParsnip, there is a lag _before_ a fade
[19:38] <Delvien> Shinydan: thats it, "metacity --replace" turns them off too :)
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> janisozaur: oh. Not sure then
[19:39] <ProfessorBacon> anybody ever had the sliders for mp3s not work?  the time progress slider does not progress when playing mp3s in rhythmbox or movie player for me.. 10.04

[19:45] <Grappleseed> thanks dpac_: the size i have is 22.3 mb -_-
[19:46] <Delvien> xcyclist: and you are on an install, not a livecd right?
[19:46] <thegreatspace>  /join #jaxlug
[19:46] <Grappleseed> Incidentally, does anyone know how to fix this problem with Google Chrome?
[19:46] <Kills> Codename:	lucid
[19:46] <xcyclist> Delvien:  NO!  I am running the live CD, because I had not gotten on with other tries with the install.
[19:46] <dpac_> Grappleseed, Try using torrents. Its a better way to download.
[19:46] <xcyclist> Delvien:  Both did not get on.
[19:47] <Grappleseed> Thanks dpac_, do you know of a good torrent to download the current ubuntu iso on?
[19:47] <dpac_> Grappleseed, It is generally a sign of poor connection. I never get half downloaded files on chrome.
[19:47] <Grappleseed> I do have a very poor connection, so you're probably right.
[19:47] <_mrn_ver_> i try to install kernel 2.6.35 .i have downloaded it by "curl" command .it is showing in shell  that it got downloaded.but when i try to install it,it is showing:http://codepad.org/d6bgb3VD
[19:47] <Delvien> xcyclist: okiedoke.. go to a terminal and type "sudo su" (shouldnt ask for a pw)  then "dhclient -r" and then "dhclient eth0"
[19:47] <dpac_> Grappleseed, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: could try chromium :)
[19:47] <Grappleseed> ActionParsnip: what's that?
[19:48] <xcyclist> "There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 4823"
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: its the open source version which chrome is based on
[19:48] <_mrn_ver_> then i tried to install ncurses .it is showing:http://codepad.org/A9tsyE2O
[19:48] <_mrn_ver_> please help me  :(
[19:48] <dpac_> Grappleseed, That's Google chrome without all the google tracking
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> !kernel | _mrn_ver_
[19:48] <Grappleseed> Ah i see.
[19:49] <Delvien> xcyclist: killall dhclient, then try again
[19:49] <xcyclist> Odd:  Now I show a eth0:avahi Link... with inet addr:169.254.8.162.
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: its in the repo now. There's also a daily build ppa if you want bleeding edge
[19:49] <Grappleseed> Well, if this goes well, I'll not be using it anymore anyway.
[19:49] <Grappleseed> Thanks though.
[19:49] <Delvien> xcyclist: check your net then ping www.google.com
[19:49] <Kills> ActionParsnip: Codename:	lucid
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: you could use a download helper like uget
[19:49] <Delvien> xcyclist: you should get no timeouts, and constant pings
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> Kills: ok all I can suggest is log a bug
[19:50] <xcyclist> No such dhclient found on killall.
[19:50] <intrader> what happened, I see a log of kicks
[19:50] <xcyclist> And the eth0:avahi thing is still up.
[19:50] <Grappleseed> Sorry I really don't know what that means.
[19:50] <Grappleseed> I feel a bit intimidated, all you people seem to be super computer savvy.
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> Kills: if you run: ubuntu-bug gwibber ,it will start the ball rolling
[19:50] <Delvien> xcyclist: open a new terminal and type "ping www.google.com"
[19:50] <Grappleseed> Trying the torrent right now.
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: bleeding edge means compiled very recently
[19:51] <Grappleseed> I know what that means haha.
[19:51] <Delvien> Grappleseed: Its a facade!
[19:51] <Grappleseed> I meant, what's ppa, or the repo?
[19:51] <xcyclist> Cannot ping.  "ping:  unknown host google.com"
[19:51] <nighmi> hi, I've got problems watching DVDs. I installed the libdvdcss, and the DVD is played, however, every 20 seconds or so, the sound interrupts for a fraction of a second, and the video is quite "fluent", but not at a normal rate, either... any ideas?
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: ppa and repo are just names for the servers you download stuff from in software centre
[19:51] <TooR4u> mobasher, hi ..
[19:51] <xcyclist> Delvien:  Cannot ping.  "ping:  unknown host www.google.com"
[19:52] <Delvien> xcyclist: are the lights on the ethernet cord lighting up?
[19:52] <chrissharp123_> !repo | Grappleseed
[19:52] <MACKIE> is there a youtube video or something on how to share files back and forth between ubuntu and windows over a network..i understand samba but im struggling some
[19:52] <Delvien> xcyclist: sorry ethernet plug* on the laptop
[19:52] <calwig> Hi,  does anyone know where to find a channel about CMS??
[19:52] <xcyclist> Delvien:  No.
[19:52] <Grappleseed> Oh I see.
[19:52] <calwig> Content Management System
[19:52] <mobasher> TooR4u> k i'm back
[19:52] <calwig> !info CMS
[19:52] <Delvien> xcyclist: in the terminal "sudo ifconfig eth0 up"
[19:52] <chrissharp123_> !ppa | Grappleseed
[19:52] <Grappleseed> I already got that bot message.
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: the official ones are called repositorys, or repos for short. If you add 3rd party servers to download from they will be ppas or personal package archives
[19:52] <chrissharp123_> Grappleseed: ok - just trying to help
[19:53] <mobasher> TooR4u> k where were we ?
[19:53] <smw> calwig: there are many content management systems. Do some googling
[19:53] <Grappleseed> OHHH repository.
[19:53] <Grappleseed> Thanks.
[19:53] <dpac_> Grappleseed, download the torrent from here http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ .. Scroll down to see  the list of files and download the .torrent file which is for your system.
[19:53] <smw> calwig: !info is used for searching the ubuntu repo
[19:53] <TooR4u> mobasher, http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/3958/screenshot1ml.png
[19:53] <calwig> smw i have, theres hundreds
[19:53] <calwig> smw: ok thx
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: every day is a school day :)
[19:53] <xcyclist> Delvien:  I am still in root.  I did it, and no change.
[19:53] <AlleyKatt> calwig: try #CMS or #SMS - one of'em is for the CMS Made Simple project
[19:53] <Delvien> xcyclist: still no lights?
[19:54] <smw> calwig: well, what do you need one for?
[19:54] <pfifo> hai guise, whats going on in here?
[19:54] <Grappleseed> Yeah I'm downloading right now.
[19:54] <Grappleseed> On my crappy internet, 5.0 kb/s
[19:54] <mobasher> TooR4u >> have you install ubuntu on this 414 GB partition ?
[19:54] <Delvien> Grappleseed: jeeez..
[19:54] <xcyclist> Delvien:  Yes, we still have no lights.
[19:54] <TooR4u> mobasher, imin
[19:54] <calwig> smw: creating a prof website
[19:54] <Grappleseed> Yeah, I'm out of work right now, so my internet is kind of cancelled.
[19:55] <Grappleseed> And I'm using a wireless n network from the library about 50 meters down the street.
[19:55] <AlleyKatt> when MemTest+ has run halfway, I should be pretty safe that its not a mem problem right?
[19:55] <mobasher> TooR4u >> why the partition type is showing w95 ext d ?? it's suppose to show ext or something
[19:55] <pfifo> Grappleseed, 'borrow' your neighbors internet
[19:55] <Grappleseed> My neighbours all have WEP, which I know is easy to break into.
[19:55] <AlleyKatt> calwig: if you want a very pro system, try #drupal
[19:55] <Grappleseed> But I really don't want to do anything illegal.
[19:55] <imanc> drupal :(
[19:56] <sebsebseb> Grappleseed: yep its illegal to use a naighbours wireless, without permission
[19:56] <Delvien> xcyclist: Well no lights mean 1 of couple things 1) bad cord 2) cord is not making lead contact 3) your net card is non-standard and some offbrand Bull--- that isnt supported / drivers available / not reconginized 4) you dont have it pluged in all the way on either end or ... 5) the port on the router is bad / router is not doing its job
[19:56] <Grappleseed> What about if they have no encription, does that count as permission?
[19:56] <sebsebseb> Grappleseed: I assume the using without knowing doesn't count though, but I don't know for sure
[19:56] <linuxson26> Grappleseed: It's still without their conscent
[19:56] <calwig> AlleyKatt: im there
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: we can only advise you. Technically its their responsibility to keep you out ;)
[19:57] <calwig> AlleyKatt: will see what they say now, have you used one?
[19:57] <Grappleseed> Oh well, you have to sign into the library's internet to use it, so that counts as permission.
[19:57] <mobasher> TooR4u >> i have never install ubuntu from the live CD session not sure if you could even do that
[19:57] <sebsebseb> Grappleseed: and legally your braking the law if you knowingly use it without permission
[19:57] <sebsebseb> Grappleseed: and maybe also if your using it without knowing
[19:57] <dpac_> mobasher, you can. Atleast in 10.04
[19:57] <Grappleseed> lol, "this house is unlocked, maybe I can walk in and eat food without permission legally."
[19:58] <mobasher> dpac_>> oh okay..didn't know that my bad...do you think you can help TooR4u with that ?
[19:58] <sebsebseb> Grappleseed: if you want to be a good naighbour though, you could go over there, and explain to them about wireless encryption, or try to
[19:58] <ra2010> !pastebinit http://imagebin.org/112897
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: pretty much sums it up :). Like it
[19:58] <xcyclist> Delvien:  I really appreciate your help Delvien.  I am going to try a bunch of things with the wires to make sure I am sane.  I will get back and announce any success, but for now perhaps it's best to stop using your time.
[19:58] <Delvien> xcyclist: regardless of if you are connected to the lan/wan, you should still at least see 1 light on the card
[19:58] <xcyclist> Thank you again Devian.
[19:58] <sebsebseb> Grappleseed: exactly if there house is unlocked, you can't just legally go in there, well same thing for their wireless when it comes to using
[19:58] <mobasher> dpac_>> he's stuck at >> http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/3958/screenshot1ml.png
[19:58] <dpac_> mobasher, I haven't been following the conversation, so I am not sure.
[19:58] <pfifo> Grappleseed, just crack the WEP then go in and QoS yourself and change the routers password. Dont forget to setup DMZ or virtual hosts for you ftp and vent server
[19:58] <xcyclist> Delvien:  Yes.
[19:59] <Delvien> xcyclist: good luck, sorry i couldnt solve it for ya
[19:59] <mobasher> dpac_ >> he's trying to install the ubuntu and he's having problems with installation that's all
[19:59] <Grappleseed> Man how do you guys even stand a channel with 1368 people in it.
[19:59] <Grappleseed> My main channel is only 140 and even it seems crowded sometimes.
[19:59] <brorjonas> Anyone who has a solution to extremely slow eduroam wifi connection?

[19:59] <CkhiKuzad> in GParted, does swapon add that swap partition to a system's caching?
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: just read. Its not hard :)
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> CkhiKuzad: yes
[19:59] <dpac_> mobasher, I think I might be able to help.
[19:59] <brorjonas> Grappleseed, many lurkers here. :P
[19:59] <CkhiKuzad> ActionParsnip, \o/
[20:00] <mobasher> dpac_ >> u da man :) TooR4u ...dpac_ is going to help u with it..
[20:00] <ra2010> hello all
[20:00] <TooR4u> mobasher, thank you .. :)
[20:00] <CkhiKuzad> now how do i checks my current swap that is being used by my system
[20:00] <edward__> how do i set defaultaccess using cn=config?
[20:00] <TooR4u> dpac_, hi ..
[20:00] <mobasher> np bud :)
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> CkhiKuzad: also if you boot livecd and its spots some swapspace it will use it
[20:00] <dpac_> TooR4u, hey
[20:00] <pfifo> Grappleseed, seriously theres been times when i didnt even ralize there were other convos going on cause i was so focused on the 1 or 2 people i was helping
[20:01] <ra2010> I'm trying to expand my extended partition using gparted on livecd
[20:01] <TooR4u> dpac_, did you saw the partition table of mine ..?
[20:01] <ra2010> but without success
[20:01] <AlleyKatt> calwig: sure, several... CMSMS is great for simpler things, very user friendly
[20:01] <TooR4u> dpac_, http://pastebin.ca/1934503
[20:01] <dpac_> TooR4u, w95 ext just means that its an extended partition. Extended partition is not the partition you want to install your ubuntu on. Extended partitions are further logically divided into more partitions. In your case its ntfs
[20:02] <AlleyKatt> calwig: drupal is generall NOT - otoh, its very advanced and got the modules to extend it ad infinitum
[20:02] <TooR4u> dpac_, yah .. how to get rid of that extended partition ..??
[20:02] <Friar> I have ubuntu desktop installed right now. can I switch to kubuntu or lubuntu for my user account, but keep gnome ubuntu for my wife's account?
[20:02] <AlleyKatt> generally*
[20:02] <TooR4u> dpac_, without loosing data ..?? :)
[20:02] <CkhiKuzad> ActionParsnip, How do i check how much swap my system is currently using?
[20:03] <calwig> AlleyKatt: i need it for a website im dl it now, will see how it functions
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> Friar: sure, install the other desktops. You can select the desktop at login at the bottom of the screen
[20:03] <ikey> CkhiKuzad, df -h
[20:03] <ikey> free -m
[20:03] <ikey> Even
[20:03] <dpac_> TooR4u, How much data do you have on that 414GB partition?
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> CkhiKuzad: df -h; free -m
[20:03] <ikey> Wrong channel >_>
[20:03] <ra2010> any tips to do that?
[20:03] <TooR4u> almost 380 gb
[20:03] <pfifo> Friar, yes gdm login screen will allow you to choose a window manager. simply run tasksel to install kde or whatever
[20:03] <CkhiKuzad> Thanks ikey and ActionParsnip
[20:03] <Friar> ActionParsnip, thanks...I appreciate it! sudo apt-get install ??? kubuntu? lubuntu?
[20:03] <TooR4u> dpac_, almost 380 gb
[20:04] <Friar> pfifo, what is tasksel?
[20:04] <Snappleseed> lol pfifo: I don't have any program atm to crack the WEP, I don't know which ones to get , I don't know what QoS means, I don't know how to remotely change a router's passowrd. And I don't know how to set up DMZ or a virtual host.
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> Friar: kubuntu-desktop and lxde will do it
[20:04] <Snappleseed> I'm going to learn though eventually.
[20:04] <pfifo> Friar, a program that installs a list of packages
[20:04] <dpac_> TooR4u, So you want to install Ubuntu on the free space?
[20:04] <CkhiKuzad> woot. 4198 megabytes of swap.
[20:04] <TooR4u> dpac_, yah ..
[20:04] <Snappleseed> Seeds 982, Peers 499 on the ubuntu desktop ISO torrent, what's with all the leechers
[20:04] <Friar> ActionParsnip, pfifo, thanks a bunch guys. easy answers.
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> Friar: you can use gnome apps in kde and lxde if you wish
[20:05] <AlleyKatt> calwig: let me put it this way, drupal is a waste of time if you need it for a small, few-pages (<100) project with no advanced database requirements and/or extreme extendability... or in other words
[20:05] <ikey> Snappleseed, Brave new world :S
[20:05] <AlleyKatt> cmsms is great for your local physiotherapist's website, drupal is what runs the white house website
[20:05] <CkhiKuzad> netsplit?
[20:06] <dpac_> TooR4u, You can use gparted to shrink the size of 414gb partition to around 385 GB. You can use the rest to create and ext3 partition.
[20:06] <dpac_> TooR4u, System->Administration->gparted
[20:06]  * AlleyKatt does a very small netsplit boogie

[20:10] <xcyclist> Delvien:  You still there?
[20:10] <Knew> Hi
[20:10] <TooR4u> dpac_, I think, it is not able to detect the filesystem type of sdb5 . don't it ..?
[20:10] <ra2010> ActionParsnip... I tried live CD but without success
[20:10] <Wiesshund> jrib heh well no bot is going to answer 3 questions, and then go reregister
[20:10] <VCoolio> dreux: loose the / at the beginning; see where you downloaded it or where the folder is, navigate to that
[20:11] <jrib> Wiesshund: well it's just one question :P
[20:11] <dpac_> TooR4u, It is showing NTFS. Isn't it NTFS?
[20:11] <Knew> Does Ubuntu have enterprise support in parity with RedHat Enterprise Linux or Novel's offerings?
[20:11] <benishor> Hello there. can anybody help me out with this? I have decided to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 and I get an upgrade error stating : could not calculate the upgrade
[20:11] <Wiesshund> i had to answer 3, maybe i answered to slow
[20:11] <ra2010> ActionParsnip, let me show my gparted scrn
[20:11] <TooR4u> dpac, it is ntfs
[20:11] <jrib> Wiesshund: and you don't have to do both, you can either answer the question or just register and never be bothered again
[20:11] <benishor> Is there any way to see what's going wrong?
[20:11] <Knew> Why is Ubuntu better than the cloud?
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> ra2010: you need to do it there so the partitions are unmounted. You may have to swapoff the swap space too
[20:11] <TooR4u> dpac_, correct
[20:12] <pfifo> Knew, canonical offers support for ubuntu.
[20:12] <Knew> So why is Ubuntu better than the cloud?
[20:12] <Wiesshund> jrib got me since i was already regged, and authed with nickserv. maybe bad day for floodbot
[20:12] <TooR4u> dpac_, okey, never mind .. tell me what should i do .? :)
[20:12] <jrib> !ot | Knew
[20:12] <ra2010> ActionParsnip, please take a look at my gparted scrn http://imagebin.org/112897
[20:13] <dpac_> TooR4u, You want to install ubuntu on the 80GB partition or on this external drive?
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> benishor: do you have the package ubuntu-desktop installed (or one of the other -desktop packages)
[20:13] <benishor> ActionParsnip: how can I check?
[20:13] <Wiesshund> Where would one look for the brasero plugin transcode2vob? seems it is needed to make any kind of dvd format disk, but i dont see anything like it in the software list
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> ra2010: my web is cripplingly slow. It'd take years to load
[20:13] <benishor> ActionParsnip: I'm currently running gnome after having installed kde
[20:13] <erUSUL> !find transcode2vob
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> benishor: software centre and search
[20:13] <TooR4u> dpac_, actually, the 80 gb partition is in the external hdd. :)
[20:13] <ra2010> ActionParsnip, just 50k png file
[20:13] <pfifo> Wiesshund, i use tovid, it is great for making DVDs
[20:13] <dreux> vcoolio, I get this dreux@dreux-laptop:~$ gtk-enginesxl_cheese gtk-enginesxl_cheese: command not found . . . but I know its located in my downloads folder
[20:14] <TooR4u> there are 2 partitions in my external hdd
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> ra2010: it takes me about 200 seconds to load pastebin.com then another 30 or so for the text
[20:14] <VCoolio> dreux: ok, then: cd ~/Downloads/gtk-enginges<hit tab here>
[20:14] <Grappleseed> Anyway, this whole installing Ubuntu thing for me is actually sort of an endeavour into trying to become more advanced at manipulating a computer.
[20:14] <benishor> ActionParsnip: perhaps this might be what you're refering to : http://hq.scene.ro/upgrade_error.png
[20:14] <dpac_> TooR4u, Is it completely free?
[20:14] <VCoolio> !tab | dreux
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> ra2010: plus my battery is waay low (g1 android on not g3 speed)
[20:14] <Grappleseed> I mean, I grew up with DOS, 95, 98, XP, that's the extent of my computer knowledge.
[20:15] <Grappleseed> I know more than the normal guys.
[20:15] <Grappleseed> But still, not that great.
[20:15] <TooR4u> dpac_, yah .. i have filled 3 gb. But, yah it is free .. :)
[20:15] <ra2010> Ok
[20:15] <benishor> ActionParsnip: my pic is 17kb in size
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Grappleseed: as you use the OS you will learn, the same you did with the other OSes
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> benishor: loading
[20:16] <benishor> Grappleseed: you'll get used to it by using it
[20:16] <Grappleseed> yeah, I figure.
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> benishor: loaded
[20:16] <linuxson26> ActionParsnip: Only downside is, the learning curve is quite steep, and in the meantime, the rest of your work stands still
[20:16] <dpac_> TooR4u, Cool, backup the 3gb data onto the 414GB partition. Format the 80GB partition into Ext3
[20:16] <benishor> Grappleseed: same here. I started with dos and then all windows flavours
[20:16] <TooR4u> dpac_, okey .. 1min..
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> benishor: ok you may need to run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop
[20:16] <Grappleseed> I used DOS only when i was really young.
[20:16] <Grappleseed> I'm only 19.
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> linuxson26: true, same with any OS
[20:16] <Grappleseed> But my dad was in the computer business.
[20:16] <dpac_> TooR4u, Use gparted. Infact, make 78GB Ext3 and 2GB Swap
[20:17] <TooR4u> dpac_, okey ..
[20:17] <pfifo> Grappleseed, im an unlicensed surgeon I specialize in brain implants, i have a chip here that will make you an expert overnight. You intrested?
[20:17] <linuxson26> ActionParsnip: True... :)
[20:17] <ra2010> ActionParsnip, let me describe it here... I have Unallocated space in the begining, then /dev/sda3 extended... and inside it /dev/sda5 ext3 and /dev/sda6 linux-swap
[20:17] <Grappleseed> You know, instead of watching TV, I played computer games.
[20:17] <Knew> Ubuntu support sucks.
[20:17] <sebsebseb> Knew: depends
[20:17] <benishor> Grappleseed: I first started with kde based ubuntu ( because I was coming from a windows culture ) and then turned to gnome because it was better integrated and generally felt smoother
[20:17] <Knew> I got an e-mail back about Ubuntu ext2 errors
[20:17] <sebsebseb> Knew: on wo is helping you
[20:17] <xcyclist> Delvien:  You still there?
[20:18] <benishor> ActionParsnip: currently reinstalling
[20:18] <Knew> This is what it said: The consumer should be aware that he or she may be the only entity in
[20:18] <Knew> the universe, and therefore that any perceived defects in Ubuntu's
[20:18] <Knew> quality are the consumer's own fault.
[20:18] <Grappleseed> Anyway, gotta go do some laundry, so brb.
[20:18] <sebsebseb> Knew: whats tis?
[20:18] <sebsebseb> this
[20:18] <Knew> sebsebseb, the e-mail
[20:18] <sebsebseb> Knew: an email?
[20:18] <kurrata> hi, could someone hint how can i set desktop_session variable manually. My openbox does not  seem to understand that it is running openbox and i am getting error
[20:19] <sebsebseb> Knew: uhmm  you can pay for support from Canonical, or  get support in this channel for example and the forums from the community
[20:19] <Knew> sebsebseb, ok
[20:19] <BlaDe^> is there any way to mount a mssql database on linux?
[20:19] <sebsebseb> Knew: So who did you email? or whatever
[20:19] <dpac_> kurrata, Export desktop_session = value  in terminal
[20:19] <sebsebseb> Knew: Whats this about an email?
[20:19] <linuxson26> This is driving me nuts!! Not only does this pixelation on my laptop display suck, but it's intermittent as well!!!
[20:19] <dreux> vcoolio its not working im typing the file name word for word too
[20:19] <sebsebseb> Knew: or were you just attention seeking?
[20:20] <lucascastro> kurrata: did you already try to use fluxbox  or you really want to use openbox?
[20:20] <benishor> hmmm .. still same error while trying to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10  ... "can not mark ubuntu-desktop for upgrade". Can anyone please help out with this?
[20:20] <Grappleseed> Sweet the download's up to 100 kb/s
[20:20] <Grappleseed> WOOOO
[20:20] <sebsebseb> Knew: ok you were trolling it seems
[20:20] <jrib> !10.10 | benishor
[20:20] <ZykoticK9> benishor, #ubuntu+1 channel
[20:20] <kurrata> lucascastro i moved to opnebox from fluxbox
[20:20] <ra2010> please, I just want to expand my Ubuntu partition with the space of a windows deleted part... any tips?
[20:21] <VCoolio> dreux: first: cd  (now you're in your home folder); then: cd Downloads (now you should be in your Downloads folder); then: cd cheese<tab>   else I don't know; learn some commandline basics first
[20:21] <linuxson26> ra2010: Gparted
[20:21] <VCoolio> dreux: remember it's all sensitive for capitals too
[20:21] <pfifo> ra2010, use gparted to adjust your partitions
[20:21] <lucascastro> kurrata: I've used fluxbox some years ago.
[20:21] <ra2010> linuxson26: I already tried it without success...
[20:22] <pfifo> !details | ra2010
[20:22] <ra2010> linuxson26: let me describe the gparted partition map... I have Unallocated space in the begining, then /dev/sda3 extended... and inside it /dev/sda5 ext3 and /dev/sda6 linux-swap
[20:22] <VCoolio> dreux: also, since I'm sensing you're new at this, use 'sudo checkinstall' instead of 'sudo make install' as third step if you get there https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall
[20:23] <lucascastro> ra2010: you can use gparted to resize your windows partition and create a linux partition and mount in your system.
[20:23] <linuxson26> ra2010: So you had windows installed first, and then added ubuntu?
[20:23] <ra2010> yep
[20:23] <ra2010> now I deleted the windows one
[20:23] <VCoolio> dreux: echo $PWD   to see what folder you're currently in;   ls   to see what files/folders are available
[20:23] <ra2010> and wanna to expand my Ubuntu to get that waisted space
[20:24] <dreux> Vcoolio, I get dreux@dreux-laptop:~/Downloads$ cd xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themes.tar.gz bash: cd: xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themes.tar.gz: Not a directory
[20:24] <linuxson26> ra2010: Ok... you will then have to look for some other third party partitioning software. Try downloading Hirens Boot CD. It has a whole bunch of hdd tools
[20:24] <VCoolio> dreux: that's an archive, extract that first
[20:24] <lucascastro> ra2010: so you can do that and solve the problem.
[20:24] <Kills> any1 out there who knows how to deal with laptop sound quality problems?
[20:24] <dpac_> VCoolio, actually 'pwd' works just as fine. Trying not to overcomplicate things
[20:25] <VCoolio> dreux: sudo apt-get install unp     then: unp xl_chees<tab>
[20:25] <VCoolio> dpac_: right, sorry :)
[20:25] <ra2010> linuxson26: thks
[20:25] <slow-motion> hi
[20:25] <blockhead> hi
[20:26] <oblu> pfifo: about that chip .. whats included?
[20:26] <pfifo> what package is basero in?
[20:26] <dreux> vcoolio, reux@dreux-laptop:~/Downloads$ unp xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themes xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themesdreux@dreux-laptop:~/Downloads$
[20:26] <ZykoticK9> pfifo, do you mean brasero?
[20:26] <linuxson26> ra2010: np :)
[20:27] <linuxson26> ra2010: Just proceed with caution though...
[20:27] <ndiondgodgn> hello
[20:27] <ndiondgodgn> In pidgin, how do I REMOVE old groups?
[20:27] <TooR4u> dpac_, yah .. i did that .. but, it is freezing here .. http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/5246/screenshot2uf.png
[20:27] <VCoolio> dreux: sorry? that doesn't make sense
[20:28] <th0r> ndiondgodgn: right click on the group name and delete it
[20:28] <ndiondgodgn> no
[20:28] <AlleyKatt> "Buffer I/O error on device sr0" - any1 know what that is?
[20:28] <ndiondgodgn> I'ts still there
[20:28] <ndiondgodgn> I've done that before
[20:28] <pfifo> man trying to use xfce4 and keep the system minimal, but at this point im almost completly installed gnome
[20:28] <ndiondgodgn> but when I want to add a buddy to a new group
[20:28] <ndiondgodgn> it still shows all the group names
[20:28] <dreux> hmm not the next step isn't working vcoolio. thats what it showed me after I unpacked the cheese engine
[20:28] <dpac_> TooR4u, Don't start the installer. Use gparted from the menu
[20:28] <ZykoticK9> AlleyKatt, error from cdrom drive (sr0)
[20:28] <dreux> now*
[20:29] <VCoolio> it is unpacked? then there should be a folder to 'cd' into
[20:29] <VCoolio> dreux: ^
[20:29] <dpac_> TooR4u, Or does that come after you've setup the partitions already?
[20:29] <TooR4u> dpac_, i didn't use the installer .. i did the partitions using gparted ..
[20:29] <TooR4u> dpac_, yah . i have done the partitions using gparted and tried to install again .. :)
[20:29] <AlleyKatt> hmmmm 2nd disc... so it gotta be either the burner or the reader, testing in another machine
[20:29] <hypn0> ndiondgodgn, try #pidgin
[20:30] <dpac_> TooR4u, How long did you wait? It shouldn't take long, though.
[20:31] <dreux> vcoolio, Im in the folder now but the second part doesn't work still the autogen part
[20:31] <TooR4u> dpac_, it didnt took long.. first i have converted all the space into ext3. then i have deleted the partition again and made the swap space .. So, it took some time ..
[20:31] <VCoolio> dreux: what does it say?
[20:32] <dreux> vcoolio, /autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-animation ---> bash: /autogen.sh: No such file or directory
[20:32] <dpac_> TooR4u, Can I see your partition table? sudo fdisk -l in terminal
[20:33] <TooR4u> dpac_,
[20:33] <TooR4u> ok ..
[20:33] <VCoolio> dreux: oh, i see, there are subfolders, NOW you need 'cd gtk-enginesxl_cheese'
[20:33] <VCoolio> dreux: there are other folders with themes in them
[20:33] <TooR4u> dpac_, http://pastebin.ca/1934544
[20:34] <dreux> vcoolio, im in the gtk folder now and the autogen code is still no go
[20:35] <dpac_> TooR4u, I don't see the changes you've made. It still shows sdb5 as NTFS
[20:35] <TooR4u> dpac_, sorry .. pasted wrong link .. http://pastebin.ca/1934548
[20:35] <VCoolio> dreux: again, what does it say? the file is there now..
[20:35] <TooR4u> dpac_, that is correct one .. my bad
[20:35] <Maletor> How do I backup my SSD (dd if=? of=?) if I want to boot to liveCD and realign partition table. Doesn't dd /dev/sda backup the partition table as well?
[20:36] <tracy68> good evening
[20:36] <tracy68> anyone with problems over here ?
[20:36] <pfifo> dose apt-get install grub-pc try to install grub2 into your mbr, and try to create a /boot/grub directory, or do you have to run grub-install afterwards?
[20:36] <erUSUL> Maletor: use fsarchiver to archive the filesystems withing ?
[20:36] <erUSUL> pfifo: the former
[20:37] <dpac_> TooR4u, No problem. I see its alright. I don't see anything wrong with it.
[20:37] <dominicdinada> how to delete mail for another user in postfix?
[20:37] <dominicdinada> like bulk delete
[20:37] <TooR4u> dpac_, so, what is the next step .. ??
[20:37] <dreux> vcoolio, dreux@dreux-laptop:~/Downloads/xl_cheeselooks_Engine_Themes/gtk-enginesxl_cheese$ /autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-animation ----> bash: /autogen.sh: No such file or directory
[20:37] <pfifo> erUSUL, so if i need to fix my USB drives mbe i should boot a livecd with grub2 already installed?
[20:37] <pfifo> mbr*
[20:38] <VCoolio> dreux: ah, you need a .  in front:  ./autogen.sh
[20:38] <erUSUL> pfifo: i dunno what problem are you trying to solve ...
[20:38] <dpac_> TooR4u, Is your CD fine. If you have a fast connection, you may try 10.04. I had issues with ubiquity partitioner as well in karmic. I had to resort to upgrading from jaunty
[20:38] <BAHAAA> hello
[20:39] <mbroeker> BAHAAA, root + irc = nogo
[20:39] <pfifo> erUSUL, i installed 8.04.4 and i had my flashdrive plugged in, it overwrote my flashdrives MBR with grub1, now i want to fix it
[20:39] <dreux> vcoolio it said I needed to download files inorder to install this
[20:39] <TooR4u> dpac_, Hmm . okey .. i will download 10.04 .. :)
[20:39] <erUSUL> pfifo: you want to install grub2 mbr in the flash drive? use grub-install ?
[20:40] <hugo> where can i find the proxy configuration file?
[20:40] <VCoolio> dreux: what files?
[20:40] <pfifo> erUSUL, i dont have grub-install, im using 8.04.4
[20:40] <erUSUL> pfifo: use a livecd ?
[20:40] <dreux> You must have autoconf installed to compile GTK+./You must have automake 1.7.x installed to compile ./You must have libtool installed to compile GTK+.
[20:40] <dpac_> TooR4u, That should work flawlessly. Also, please confirm the md5hash after downloading to confirm the integrity of the file you downloaded
[20:40] <pfifo> erUSUL, ok thats what i thought, thanks
[20:40] <dreux> vcoolio ^
[20:41] <TooR4u> dpac_, ok sure ..
[20:41] <beefheart> where's the config file that stores which ubuntu mirror to use?
[20:41] <erUSUL> pfifo: or chroot to the flash drive from the 8.04 install to the flash drive install
[20:41] <VCoolio> dreux: ah, you're really doing this for the first time; ok: sudo apt-get install build-essential automake checkinstall
[20:41] <pfifo> erUSUL, good idea, but thats a no go, flash drive just contains a bunch of isos
[20:41] <dreux> yea im new to this vcoolio, but im sure your noticed that lol
[20:42] <erUSUL> pfifo: i see;
[20:42] <VCoolio> dreux: then try again, and do 'sudo checkinstall' instead of 'sudo make install' later
[20:43] <beefheart> is there a utility to update sources.list? i need to pick a new mirror
[20:43] <VCoolio> dreux: you can install libtool and autoconf too if it's not included; also you may need libgtk2.0-dev  but wait for it to complain about it
[20:43] <ZykoticK9> dreux, VCoolio's checkinstall suggestion is a very good one - but realize that will create a DEB file that you can then install/uninstall using the regular package mechanism
[20:43] <dpac_> beefheart, add-apt-repository
[20:43] <erUSUL> beefheart: System>Admin...>Software sources
[20:44] <Behemoth> Hiho
[20:44] <VCoolio> ZykoticK9: I'm afraid we're not there yet, but thanks; good thing I've nothing important to do and there is beer </offtopic>
[20:44] <Knew> Hi
[20:44] <Knew> err, sorry let me /part
[20:44] <hugo> how can i update the system behind a proxy with authentication?
[20:45] <beefheart> erUSUL: i'm running a minimal server install
[20:45] <dreux> i still need automake 1.7.x/libtool/intltool vcoolio
[20:45] <erUSUL> beefheart: edit the sources.list with a text editor,
[20:46] <zifre> hi!
[20:46] <zifre> ıs someone using TOR here ?
[20:46] <VCoolio> dreux: ok, install that
[20:46] <Behemoth> hiho
[20:46] <ZykoticK9> !hi | Behemoth
[20:47] <VCoolio> dreux: the more you compile, the less you have to go through these dependencies; don't despair, it's not always like this
[20:47] <dreux> vcoolio I use apt-get?
[20:48] <VCoolio> dreux: yep, sudo apt-get install blah  you can use tab to autocomplete here too

[20:51] <Wiesshund> AlleyKatt have you triend unetbootin? personaly i kind of like using it better
[20:51] <dominicdinada> how to delete mail for another user in postfix? in bulk?
[20:51] <AlleyKatt> uhh no..?
[20:52] <VCoolio> dreux: I've got an idea to quicken things: sudo apt-get build-dep gtk2-engines-clearlooks   <-- this will install everything you need to compile clearlooks, which is another engine; we're not going to do that, but the dependencies are the same
[20:52] <Behemoth> i cant find some packages and i want to imstall it to help me to compile anyone can help me to find some old packages ?
[20:52] <Wiesshund> AlleyKatt it will make a usb liveCD for you, and it does it pretty easily.
[20:53] <dreux> ok vcoolio
[20:53] <AlleyKatt> yup got the page, thanks! Readin'
[20:54] <dreux> I told me this after it was done vcoolio. . .  E: Unable to find a source package for gtk2-engines-clearlooks
[20:54] <Hopsa> Behemoth: I can try
[20:54] <VCoolio> dreux: and for gtk2-engines  (without clearlooks part)?
[20:55] <WarrenSH> ~ $ mkdir tmp
[20:55] <WarrenSH> ~ $ cd tmp
[20:55] <WarrenSH> ~/tmp $ mkdir a
[20:55] <WarrenSH> ~/tmp $ cd a
[20:55] <WarrenSH> ~/tmp/a $ mkdir b
[20:55] <FloodBot1> WarrenSH: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:55] <WarrenSH> ~/tmp/a $ cd b
[20:56] <WarrenSH> why is this a bad habit?
[20:56] <dreux> vcoolio I took off the clearlooks part and it is installing
[20:56] <Wiesshund> because you scroll everyone else off the screen, something common sense should tell you
[20:57] <VCoolio> dreux: cool; after that, back to ./autogen.sh until it's done complaining
[20:57] <WarrenSH> no that that
[20:57] <WarrenSH> but the why I was using cdl
[20:58] <Wiesshund> WarrenSH can you reask the question, all on one line?
[20:58] <ZykoticK9> WarrenSH, you could shorten your command to "mkdir -p tmp/a/b" as all one command
[20:58] <dreux> its still telling me I need automake and libtool eventhough I downloaded those already vcoolio
[21:00] <VCoolio> dreux: if you do 'which automake' does it reply /usr/bin/automake?
[21:00] <ZykoticK9> dreux, did you use apt to install automake?  "apt-cache policy automake" does it show as installed?
[21:01] <dreux> yea it does vcoolio, and no zykotick9
[21:01] <LorgonJortle> Howdy!
[21:01] <meltingwax> i set up my computer to share a mounted NTFS external harddrive, and when i try to access it on antoher computer through "network" in nautilus i get "Unable to mount location. Failed to mount Windows share." any advice?
[21:02] <buntunub> !Samba
[21:02] <LorgonJortle> I just did a 'sudo atp-get install python3' and installed the newest version, but when I type 'python' into the shell, I get python 2.6. How do I get rid of 2.6 and use 3.1.2 as the default? I want to make sure Wing IDE is using the right version, too.
[21:02] <VCoolio> dreux: this is confusing.. apt-cache policy automake doesn't mention it?
[21:02] <LorgonJortle> apt-get*
[21:03] <samuel2010> Does anyone know why the mic and earphone socket dont work on a macbook 2,1???
[21:03] <mcc> Would there be a simple way to get a quick answer to "how much RAM is currently being taken up by all http processes"?
[21:03] <diogo_79> hi
[21:03] <diogo_79> my ubuntu machine stops working
[21:03] <diogo_79> the machine boots but stops at logo ubuntu
[21:03] <zfe> anybody good at networking?
[21:03] <diogo_79> dont know what to do next
[21:03] <mobasher> diogo_79>> i think you should provide more information than that ?
[21:03] <jmad980> D:
[21:03] <buntunub> mcc: ps aux | grep http
[21:04] <diogo_79> i have done some configuration in xorg.conf file after boot it stops at ubuntu logo
[21:04] <Behemoth> Hopsa, thnx for u helping im rlly glad for ur help and im gonna try and i will made it :)
[21:04] <mcc> bnut, honestly i'm not sure how to read these numbers. I want ot total together... VSZ? or RSS?
[21:04] <diogo_79> my ubuntu is the 10.04.1
[21:04] <CkhiKuzad> Is there a DPG 'plugin' for the Arista Transcoder so i can convert videos into a video that is able to be played by Moonshell
[21:04] <coz_> samuel2010,   out of curiosity ...do the speakers work?
[21:04] <dreux> automake:   Installed: 1:1.11.1-1   Candidate: 1:1.11.1-1 thats what i got coolio
[21:04] <dreux> vcoolio*
[21:04] <ZykoticK9> diogo_79, if messing with xorg.conf caused the problem, simply move xorg.conf to a different name and try again
[21:04] <mobasher> diogo_79>> you said not starting up...what is it saying ?? error messages ?
[21:05] <Maletor> If I boot into a liveCD and type `sudo fdisk -H 32 -S 32 /dev/sda` will that destroy my data?
[21:05] <Hopsa> Behemoth: No problem.
[21:05] <samuel2010> coz_,  yeah  they work fine
[21:05] <mkanyicy> diogo_79: what is the message that appears on the screen?
[21:05] <VCoolio> dreux: ok, and for intltool?
[21:05] <coz_> samuel2010,  did you type alsamixer in terminal and check to see if any slider volumes are down or muted?
[21:05] <VCoolio> dreux:  I mean libtool
[21:05] <diogo_79> it doest show any message
[21:05] <diogo_79> it freezes
[21:05] <LorgonJortle> I just did a 'sudo apt-get install python3' and installed the newest version, but when I type 'python' into the shell, I get python 2.6. How do I get rid of 2.6 and use 3.1.2 as the default? I want to make sure Wing IDE is using the right version, too.
[21:05] <samuel2010> coz_,   hang on ill check it   to see if there is something wrong
[21:05] <coz_> samuel2010,  if they are muted  just hit the  lower case "m" on the keyboard to unmute
[21:05] <mkanyicy> diogo_79: are you having only ubuntu installed?
[21:06] <mobasher> diogo_79>> where about it freezes? at boot up or after logging in
[21:06] <diogo_79> but if i touch the power button it shutdowns
[21:06] <ZykoticK9> diogo_79, hold shift as computer is starting, can you choose an older kernel?
[21:06] <Key_Gruin> diogo_79: did you backup xorg.conf first? or you might find a backup file
[21:06] <headkase314> LorgonJortle, you don't want to get rid of 2.6, it is used for all sorts of things behind the scenes.  Does typing "python3" without the quotes in a terminal start Python 3.1.2?
[21:06] <buntunub> mcc: not sure what exactly your trying to do.. try - apropos http - or apropos (whatever it is your tyring to accomplish) to get the command
[21:06] <samuel2010> coz_,   it says  mic jack M  does that mean its on mute?
[21:06] <diogo_79> no i have not backup xorg file
[21:06] <dreux> libtool:   Installed: (none)   Candidate: 2.2.6b-2ubuntu1 , vcoolio
[21:06] <buntunub> mcc: then read some of the man pages for those commands that look like what you want
[21:06] <coz_> samuel2010,   probably   hit the keyboard  letter m  while that on is highlighted and see
[21:06] <VCoolio> dreux: there you go, apt-get install libtool
[21:06] <diogo_79> and i have only ubuntu install in the machine
[21:06] <dominicdinada> how to delete mail for another user in postfix? in bulk?
[21:07] <CkhiKuzad> Is there a DPG encoder for the Arista Transcoder?
[21:07] <samuel2010> coz_,   do i need line in or mic in?   line in right?
[21:07] <[Dead][Pixel]> I have a 2tb external WD my book external hard drive, and it was working fine, it has 1tb of data on it, and I can't lose it. I had the disk attached to a windows PC and I reassigned the drive letter to it, and rebooted, and now this drive will not connected to ANY computer. In linux here is my error message: http://pastebin.com/25g0p3qj   in windows it says i have to format it
[21:07] <LorgonJortle> headkase314: Yeah, alright. 'python3' works, but I guess I just want to aim Wing IDE at python3 now.
[21:07] <diogo_79> i have hold the shift key
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> dominicdinada, you might want to try asking in #postfix
[21:07] <LorgonJortle> .join #WingIDE
[21:07] <coz_> samuel2010,  for the mic I would guess mic in
[21:07] <mkanyicy> diogo_79: did you try to boot on recovery mode?
[21:07] <diogo_79> and chose recovery mode
[21:07] <LorgonJortle> fudge
[21:07] <samuel2010> coz_,   ok  let me see
[21:07] <dreux> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? . . . vcoolio
[21:07] <dominicdinada> ok
[21:08] <diogo_79> what to do next
[21:08] <samuel2010> coz_,   nope  nothing   wont change   still on Mic Jack M
[21:08] <VCoolio> dreux: always sudo with apt-get install, sorry
[21:08] <diogo_79> i have option resume
[21:08] <diogo_79> clean
[21:08] <diogo_79> dpkg
[21:08] <coz_> samuel2010,  if it is muted it should like this    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/Screenshot-cosimo321%40coz%3A%20%7E.png
[21:08] <diogo_79> failsafex
[21:08] <diogo_79> grub
[21:08] <VCoolio> dreux: sudo !!    repeats last command with sudo
[21:08] <diogo_79> and netroot
[21:08] <headkase314> LorgonJortle, basically for the startup of Wing IDE find the startup shortcut or script and if a shortcut change python to python3 and if a script edit it and do the same.  Python 3+ file extensions are also ".py3"
[21:08] <mkanyicy> diogo_79: chose resume
[21:08] <FloodBot1> diogo_79: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:08] <samuel2010> coz_,   mine looks different
[21:08] <diogo_79> sorry
[21:08] <diogo_79> guys
[21:08] <dreux> k
[21:08] <Maletor> If I boot into a liveCD and type `sudo fdisk -H 32 -S 32 /dev/sda` will that destroy my data?
[21:08] <samuel2010> coz_,  ill send u a screenshot  cos im not sure what this means. hehe
[21:09] <Zenlol> I'm looking for a python help channel. and it won't let me join #python. =/
[21:09] <LorgonJortle> headkase314: Alright. Thanks, man.
[21:09] <headkase314> LorgonJortle, if a shortcut, right-click properties then change python to python3
[21:09] <diogo_79> i have choose resume
[21:09] <coz_> samuel2010,  yes it would because i actually compile my own alsa driver
[21:09] <ubter1> Hi. I'd like to install ubuntu from minimal-cd image. But I need to run "ethtool" command to get my network card up. How can I do that after I boot ubuntu minimal-cd??
[21:09] <diogo_79> and enter my user name
[21:09] <headkase314> LorgonJortle, you're welcome.
[21:09] <coz_> samuel2010,  but the mute symbol should be similar
[21:09] <mcc> zenlol, type /nickserv helpand it will explain how to register your username. once you do that #python will let you in
[21:09] <mkanyicy> does anyone knows how to freeze a window in pidgin when looking at old entries on IRC?
[21:09] <mcc> help not helpand
[21:09] <samuel2010> nope  not the same  coz_
[21:09] <mobasher> diogo_79>> enter the username that you created during the ubuntu installation and password
[21:09] <coz_> samuel2010,  let me see a screenshot jut hit   alt+printscreen to get that
[21:10] <diogo_79> yes
[21:10] <diogo_79> i have done that
[21:10] <kyan> Hello! I asked this already at #kubuntu but nothing really came of it.
[21:10] <ubter1> Hi. I'd like to install ubuntu from minimal-cd image. But I need to run "ethtool" command to get my network card up. How can I do that after I boot ubuntu minimal-cd??
[21:10] <mkanyicy> and then what happens aftet that diogo_79?
[21:10] <dreux> its still saying You must have automake 1.7.x vcoolio :/
[21:10] <samuel2010> coz_,   will do
[21:10] <diogo_79> i have a console display
[21:10] <kyan> My computer refuses to boot now that I have updated the kernel.
[21:11] <diogo_79> i have backup the xorg.conf file and delete the xorg.conf
[21:11] <mkanyicy> diogo_79:  can you type commands? or is it frozen?
[21:11] <[Dead][Pixel]> I have a 2tb external WD my book external hard drive, and it was working fine, it has 1tb of data on it, and I can't lose it. I had the disk attached to a windows PC and I reassigned the drive letter to it, and rebooted, and now this drive will not connected to ANY computer. In linux here is my error message: http://pastebin.com/25g0p3qj   in windows it says i have to format it
[21:11] <kthomas_vh> possible/how to create a system that will boot both 32,64-bit?
[21:11] <samuel2010> coz_,   http://imagebin.ca/view/5x-Vre.html
[21:11] <diogo_79> may i resume the system?
[21:11] <diogo_79> yes i can type commands
[21:11] <headkase314> LorgonJortle, is Wing IDE compatible with Python 3+?  Python 2.x and 3+ are not compatible.  If Wing IDE was written for 2.x then you'll need to run it using the 2.x interpreter.  If it's written for 3+ then python3 is the right one to start it with.
[21:11] <ZykoticK9> kthomas_vh, you'd need to dual boot 32 & 64 bit installs
[21:11] <coz_> samuel2010,  ok yes  you see the douible "MM" below the sliders?
[21:11] <mkanyicy> diogo_79: run 'sudo init 1 to go back to the so-called recovery mode
[21:11] <samuel2010> coz_,  yeah
[21:11] <coz_> samuel2010,  those are muted
[21:12] <mkanyicy> diogo_79: 'sudo init 1'
[21:12] <samuel2010> ok
[21:12] <mkanyicy> diogo_79: and then choose grub
[21:12] <diogo_79> ok
[21:12] <patman023> hey guys, having problems with installing ANY distro with a kernel above 2.6.31.(whatever) on my new laptop - any suggestions as to where to snag support for an issue like that?
[21:12] <kthomas_vh> ZykoticK9, essentially,  different installs... ?
[21:12] <coz_> samuel2010,  with the arrow buttons scroll to one of them and hit the  m  letter on the keyboard to unmute
[21:12] <samuel2010> coz_,   so i need to press M on them and they will work ?
[21:12] <ZykoticK9> !runlevels | mkanyicy
[21:12] <ZykoticK9> kthomas_vh, correct
[21:12] <LorgonJortle> headkase314: Ah.... I've been using it with 2.6, so it mustn't be for 3.x. I guess I'll wait for the next release. :-P
[21:12] <coz_> samuel2010,  yes the lowercase  "m"
[21:12] <kthomas_vh> got it,  thanks :)
[21:12] <VCoolio> dreux: now I'm out of options; if it's installed and autogen complains it's not I don't know; maybe it asks for a very specific version?
[21:13] <headkase314> LorgonJortle, you should still be able to write 3+ code in it just run it separately in a terminal using python3 then.. Good luck with the programming! ;)
[21:13] <coz_> samuel2010,  if you keep hitting the  right arrow button you may have more sliders  beyond the window border there
[21:13] <samuel2010> coz_,   u are a GENIUS!!!
[21:13] <samuel2010> coz_,   LOOOVING U!!!
[21:13] <VCoolio> dreux: doesn't it say automake >= 1.7.x ? it may be configured for karmic and now lucid's automake is too new, just guessing
[21:13] <ZykoticK9> VCoolio, the version for automake 1.7 is much older then the 1.11 included in Lucid, not sure what version dreux is using?
[21:13] <LorgonJortle> headkase314: :-D
[21:13] <coz_> samuel2010,  also the "UP"  arrow and "Down" arrows raise and lower volumes
[21:13] <VCoolio> ZykoticK9: 1.11
[21:13] <dreux> yea vcoolio you must have automake 1.7.x installed to compile
[21:14] <samuel2010> coz_,    thanks dude. (or dudette)
[21:14] <mkanyicy> ZykoticK9,  why is your name not tab-complete-able?
[21:14] <coz_> samuel2010,  no problem ..enjoy :)
[21:14] <ZykoticK9> mkanyicy, it is Z y TAB
[21:14] <samuel2010> coz_,   r u using macbook running ubuntu
[21:14] <samuel2010> ?
[21:14] <kyan> My computer won't boot after a kernel upgrade. Any suggestions?
[21:14] <crohakon> How do I change the settings for the splash screen at boot?
[21:14] <coz_> samuel2010,  no I am not sorry... but the settings should be identical as far as I know
[21:14] <VCoolio> dreux: then ask the author of the app to update his source thing, it has been a year; create a command
[21:14] <diogo_79> guys i have the problem solved
[21:14] <Maletor> How can I fix my misaligned SSD?
[21:14] <VCoolio> comment I mean, on his gnome-look page
[21:15] <diogo_79> i have delete xorg.conf
[21:15] <diogo_79> and recreate with nvisia-xconfig
[21:15] <diogo_79> i am back with a x server
[21:15] <mkanyicy> !yay| diogo_79
[21:15] <Key_Gruin> yah diogo_79
[21:15] <Maletor> I just want to run fdisk -H 32 -S 32 so that I can have it working properly. I will do this from liveCD. Will this destroy data?
[21:15] <samuel2010> coz_,   yeah   should be.  only need to get my isight working now and then ill be happy !
[21:16] <dreux> vcoolio so there is no automake 1.7.x ?
[21:16] <mkanyicy> Maletor: what do you want to do?
[21:16] <kyan> Is there any way to mount ext4 in gutsy?
[21:16] <VCoolio> dreux: sorry, you're out of luck here; he needs to fix his source code; happens sometimes, you spend a lot of time and end up with nothing; you shouldn't need to downgrade automake
[21:16] <coz_> samuel2010,  I have no doubts you will get it :)
[21:16] <Maletor> mkanyicy: I want to change it from 255 63 to 32 32
[21:16] <mkanyicy> kyan: dont think so.
[21:16] <xangua> kyan: gutsy is not suported
[21:16] <Key_Gruin> how can I change the system locale language from german to english on ubuntu server? command line only...
[21:17] <kkal> how can I change the settings (font sizes etc) for the terminal I get after pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6?
[21:17] <dreux> so I have to look for a new theme then vcoolio
[21:17] <mkanyicy> Maletor: maybe I got you from midway, I do not understand what your numbers mean.
[21:17] <kyan> Hmm. I'm trying to learn the version of the latest kernel in my machine because super GRUB disk isn't seeing it.
[21:17] <VCoolio> dreux: try the murrine engine, it has transparancy support, much more worth the effort to compile if you ask me
[21:17] <mkanyicy> Maletor: good luck, but if you doubt data loss, I recommend backing up first!
[21:17] <Maletor> mkanyicy: Ok. I need to align like this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives
[21:17] <kkal> anyone?
[21:17] <samuel2010> coz_,   haha not worked so far.  its looking bleak!  haha i might just invest in a USB one   might work with no problems.
[21:17] <blendmaster1024> how would I boot a live ubuntu such that the image is loaded into ram, much like how knoppix's ram option works?
[21:18] <samuel2010> anyway coz_   thanks for your help!  really  much appreciated
[21:18] <patman023> (repeating cause i got buried) hey guys, having problems with installing ANY distro with a kernel above 2.6.31.(whatever) on my new laptop - any suggestions as to where to snag support for an issue like that?
[21:18] <coz_> samuel2010,  cool   and no problem :)
[21:18] <nytek_> Key_Gruin: Edit your rc.conf with the correponding langauge under Locale
[21:18] <Maletor> mkanyicy: Otherwise it is aligned improperly. I need to know: Can I do this operation from liveCD and how do I preserve *all* data?
[21:18] <samuel2010> UBUNTU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bye guys
[21:18] <Key_Gruin> nytek_: thanks
[21:18] <kkal> how can I configure the terminal I get after pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6?
[21:18] <th0r> kkal: that is set at boot as options to grub
[21:18] <nytek_> Key_Gruin: you got it :D
[21:18] <guntbert> Key_Gruin: I don't know, sorry -- but you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server
[21:19] <guntbert> Key_Gruin: forget what I said :-)
[21:19] <th0r> kkal: the font size is set by options to grub, the color etc can be set in .bashrc
[21:19] <crohakon> How do I change the settings for the splash screen at boot?
[21:19] <ZykoticK9> crohakon, boot splash is called Plymouth in 10.04
[21:19] <kkal> th0r: didnt know grub was involved but now it makes sense! thanks :D
[21:20] <th0r> kkal: the screen resolution is set first, in grub, then the rest can be set using escape sequences in .bashrc
[21:20] <crohakon> Okay, how do I change the settings for Plymouth? After installing my nvidia drivers it is really low res.
[21:20] <Maletor> mkanyicy: Does that make sense?
[21:20] <patman023> any idea the best place to find out why i'm having an issue with kernels above 2.6.31.x?
[21:21] <Key_Gruin> etc has no rc.conf
[21:21] <dreux> vcoolio what theme do you use?
[21:21] <Maletor> mkanyicy: How do I backup sda? DD will copy partition table right?
[21:21] <Key_Gruin> is that where it should be?
[21:21] <Hopsa> blendmaster1024: If its live it should boot most things into ram. /etc /var /home /root /tmp and so on.
[21:21] <headkase314> crohakon, if you use proprietary drivers the low-res is not easily fixable and the fix breaks on every kernel update and you need to redo it.  If I remember correctly from when I read about that.
[21:21] <ZykoticK9> crohakon, happens to all nvidia settups - see http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ if you REALLY want too (i don't bother)
[21:21] <Stealth_> Hey, I have a question. Using GNOME and ubuntu 10.04, how do I add more desktops to switch too?
[21:21] <Hopsa> blendmaster1024: Otherwise the "live" in live-cd/dvd isnt very "alive" :)
[21:21] <nytek_> Key_Gruin: are you sure?
[21:22] <VCoolio> dreux: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Arta-Darker+?content=124965
[21:22] <ZykoticK9> Stealth_, click on the switcher / preferences / add to Columns
[21:22] <gcr> Stealth_: Right-click on the window pager in the corner and pick "Properties", I think. There should be a "Number of Desktops" panel IIRC
[21:22] <gcr> Or that
[21:22] <mkanyicy> Maletor: well, that seems to be some advanced stuff for me, Ivent used SSD's yet, but please backup until you get a confirmation that backup isnt needed
[21:22] <Stealth_> Ok i will try it now

[21:22] <guntbert> nytek_: the only rc.conf is in /etc/init but serves a different purpose
[21:23] <walterj89_> hey... is there anyone here that is familure with 3m Serial Touchscreens?
[21:23] <zfe> anybody can help me with some network configuration
[21:23] <Hopsa> Maletor: If you have another computer on the lan or net somewhere you can use gadmin-rsync to run the backup in an easy way.
[21:23] <Stealth_> ZykoticK9: I am using compziz so I cant see the desktop changer.
[21:23] <dreux> ill look into finding a new theme thanks a lot for the help vcoolio
[21:24] <nytek_> guntbert: well, im not familiar with ubuntu server, does it do something different with the rc.conf?
[21:24] <VCoolio> dreux: no problem, have fun
[21:24] <zfe> folks, i basically want to have a virtual interface, where every connection in the house has to get by
[21:24] <ZykoticK9> Stealth_, add to a panel then.  sorry i don't know another way of doing it...
[21:24] <zfe> let's say i'm the gateway
[21:24] <Stealth_> Ok then mate I will try it
[21:24] <kyan> I'm just going to back up all my data to an external hd then do a complete reinstall.
[21:25] <walterj89_> Where is a good place to get an answer to a guestion regarding touchscreens.. ubunutu forums?
[21:25] <kyan> Thanks for your help!
[21:25] <guntbert> nytek_: in current ubuntu the /etc/init/rc.conf serves to "runs the old System V-style rc script when changing between runlevels"
[21:25] <crohakon> ZykoticK9, headkase314 is there a way to just disable it so I can see the text as it boots?
[21:26] <blendmaster1024> Hopsa: I mean I want to be able to eject the CD
[21:26] <nytek_> guntbert: I see.
[21:26] <Key_Gruin> I can add the LANG variables to the .bashrc file also, I have the info for that
[21:26] <Key_Gruin> on a user level
[21:27] <guntbert> nytek_: did you mean rc.local?  (server and desktop are identical in that part)
[21:27] <ZykoticK9> crohakon, add/edit the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to /etc/default/grub - then run "sudo update-grub2"
[21:27] <Hopsa> blendmaster1024: Why ? ... Most live cd's arent aimed for that amount of ram i should think, because they want it to run on most systems.
[21:27] <Kills> I   conect my phone to my laptop but it doesnt recognise it what to do?
[21:27] <headkase314> crohakon, http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337602 <- those are Karmic instructions, wait until someone says GRUB in Lucid is the same before doing it.
[21:28] <Hopsa> blendmaster1024: If you want blender or so then i suggest you install Linux and save yourself alot of trouble and get the proper loading speeds.
[21:28] <guntbert> Key_Gruin: then you will want to use /etc/bash.bashrc for systemwide settings
[21:28] <crohakon> headkase314, I have a fresh install of Lucid with grub 2
[21:29] <headkase314> crohakon, ZykoticK9 said "sudo update-grub2" that is what is different from the instructions I linked to.  The file and the command arguments you edit are the same.
[21:29] <crohakon> headkase314, thanks
[21:29] <crohakon> ZykoticK9, thanks
[21:29] <headkase314> crohakon, you're welcome.
[21:30] <Key_Gruin> guntbert: thanks, that would be it
[21:30] <blendmaster1024> Hopsa: don't make stupid assumptions about what I want to do based on my nick.

[21:31] <mcc> So, I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to configure apache on a server with limited resources. I think I need to set the number of processes spawned (MaxClients) to a low number. However when I look in ubuntu's httpd.conf I find MaxClients is set in three different "MPM" blocks: "prefork", "worker", and "event". What is the difference between these three?
[21:32] <mcc> I'm looking at the MPM documentation but can't figure out how it decides which of these three "MPMs" to use.
[21:32] <bnixy7> when i go to "places" and network... and try to access the shares from there, it will not work, saying it wont mount after 30 seconds... but I go to "Go" and "location" and type in smb://<ip address> it will work.  does anyone know why?
[21:32] <Hopsa> blendmaster1024: calling someone stupid is not so good. Yes, you can load up the remaining filesystem into ram by creating and using a loopback interface via ram0. Not entirely easy but highly doable.
[21:32] <Hopsa> guntbert: ;)
[21:33] <walterj89_> no one here knows anything about toucscreens?
[21:33] <Hopsa> blendmaster1024: First write down whats not loaded into ram: mount will tell you what is.

[21:37] <headkase314> crohakon, I should rephrase that: optionally remove "quiet" if you want to see text as stuff is initialized.

[21:53] <Hopsa> headkase314: I noticed, still a point worth making as i see alot of these things.
[21:53] <janisozaur> Delvien, about the gnome-terminal issue I mentioned earlier. I think it is unrelated to cache residing in file (tbh, I doubt it actually does cache those lines in file), as after changing rendering options (visual enhancements) in gnome-appearance-properties to different mode (none/additional) the lag is cured and works good for a while
[21:53] <headkase314> Hopsa, ;)

[21:53] <Hopsa> ok

[21:54] <benishor> bnixy7: I'm afraid I have no clue in this case

[21:54] <Doyle> Baram2: How did you fix it?
[21:54] <benishor> bnixy7: try ping servername
[21:54] <benishor> does it work>?
[21:55] <glebihan> mrmike: otherwise, uncommenting lines 40 and 41 should work too
[21:55] <headkase314> bnixy7, is there a password on the Windows share?  I seem to recall that nautilus has issues with passworded shares and another possibility may be the netBIOS port is firewalled somewhere between your two connections.
[21:55] <mrmike> glebihan: thank you
[21:55] <glebihan> mrmike: you're welcome
[21:56] <bnixy7> headkase314: no, because if i type in the location line: smb://<ipaddress> it will connect and I can modify/change files

[21:59] <bnixy7> not a problem.  so do i check these ports in the terminal?
[21:59] <AlleyKatt> (cd drive is broken it seems)
[21:59] <headkase314> bnixy7, you check to make sure that those ports are not firewalled or blocked on all devices your connection passes through from (linux)computer to (windows)computer.

[22:03] <ptDDev> hi
[22:03] <ptDDev> how can i change the gdm login background?
[22:03] <Jophish_n900_> howdy guys
[22:03] <noo> glebihan: why does ifconfig help you? thats just the network stuff of my computer and not anything from the router
[22:04] <headkase314> bnixy7, first of all take stock of what devices the connection is passing through then in Windows go to it's firewall and specifically allow those ports, say a router is next, depending on the router it's likely different for each one, check those ports, and then in Ubuntu do "sudo apt-get install gufw" then in that (System > Administration > Firewall Configuration) again allow the ports.
[22:04] <glebihan> noo: well, never a bad idea to take a look at that when having troubles with network connections
[22:04] <hiexpo> ptDDev, you mean the loginbackground right
[22:05] <ptDDev> hiexpo, that's right. ubuntu tweaks doesn't work, and neither does python-gdm2setup
[22:05] <ptDDev> hiexpo, is there a configuration file i can edit?
[22:05] <Hopsa> noo: Doesnt your router provide your computer with information souch as what it itll have and what route its packages will take and most likely even what DNS's to use ?
[22:05] <noo> glebihan: I send you the link in a second. I thhink that the problem might be that I might have to configure a DNS server, because I'm using dhcp to connect to the internet, but I don't know what my dhcp server should be. I think that should be the router itself shouldn't it?
[22:06] <Hopsa> noo: Doesnt your router provide your computer with information souch as what IP it itll have and what route its packages will take and most likely even what DNS's to use ?
[22:06] <Kills> AndrewMC:  doesn't allow me because Im not the owner
[22:06] <glebihan> noo: yes the dhcp server should be the router
[22:06] <noo> so I should put in 127.0.0.1??
[22:06] <hiexpo> ptDDev, leave it alone by messing with it your asking for troubles \
[22:07] <walterj89_> just locked up Ubuntu for the first time...
[22:07] <glebihan> noo: 127.0.0.1 is the local IP (of the computer), not the one of the router
[22:07] <walterj89_> surpised I've never done that before
[22:08] <Hopsa> noo: It doesnt have to be if youre on a more advanced network. all it does is hand out information to your computer so that it can reach the LAN and internet properly
[22:08] <ptDDev> hiexpo, ubuntu is getting worse lately, not better. i'm moving to mint
[22:08] <VCoolio> ptDDev: that won't help, it's ubuntu with a green theme, but whatever floats your boat
[22:08] <hiexpo> ptDDev, its the same thing
[22:09] <headkase314> walterj89_, go to System > Preferences > Keyboard and then in that go to Layout tab and click Options then expand "Key sequence to kill X server" and check the option.  Close it all out and from then on Control+Alt+Backspace will get you out of most crashes by killing the X server and returning you to the login screen.
[22:09] <ptDDev> you mean, the same ui options that ubuntu blocks are blocked in mint too?
[22:09] <noo> I just tried to set 127.0.0.1 as my primary dns-server but it says that this is not a valid dns server
[22:09] <bnixy7> headkase314: i opened up the firewall config and put allow for ubuntu on both sections.  im basically pretty confused and have no idea what I am installing.  fyi.

[22:10] <hiexpo> ptDDev, since grub2
[22:10] <headkase314> bnixy7, ufw is Ubuntu's default firewall.  gufw is a graphical interface to configure it.  That saves you from having to do it all on the command line.
[22:10] <Hopsa> ptDDev: what functionality ?
[22:10] <VCoolio> Kills: add your user to the owner group or change file ownership
[22:10] <Kills> VCoolio:  how to do that??

[22:10] <ptDDev> like the gdm options
[22:10] <slow-motion> n8
[22:10] <bnixy7> headkase314: well i went to the gui for the firewall and selected "allow" for both incoming and outgoing... is that what you wanted me to do?
[22:11] <ptDDev> you can't turn off the user list for example
[22:11] <VCoolio> Kills: first find out which one you want; what are you trying to do?
[22:11] <Hopsa> ptDDev: I need precise answers if you please.
[22:11] <carlos> hi
[22:11] <headkase314> bnixy7, ufw may be disabled so you're Ubuntu machine may not need the ports specifically allowed but gufw will let you easily see this.  I think it's much more likely the ports are blocked either on the Windows machine or in your router between machines.

[22:14] <headkase314> bnixy7, get one route working first.  From the Ubuntu machine to the Windows server.  It may be that the port is blocked on a router and once you find it the other machines won't need anything else done.
[22:15] <VCoolio> Kills: but skipping password involves a security risk, be aware of that
[22:15] <bnixy7> headkase314: would i want to "port forward" then?

[22:15] <pippo> hi guys
[22:15] <hiexpo> well it should just show you and other than when clicking other it shows all
[22:15] <pippo> can u help me?
[22:15] <flixil> pippo, no, you will burn in hell like everyone :)
[22:16] <Kills> VCoolio:  what risks?
[22:16] <headkase314> bnixy7, I don't believe you want to forward the port as that may lock it into a single machine.  Give me a second with google.
[22:16] <VCoolio> like bad scripts will be able to execute anything without being blocked by a password request
[22:16] <VCoolio> Kills: ^
[22:16] <bnixy7> headkase314: appears that port forward and port trigger are the two options I havE
[22:16] <glebihan> noo: you do not know the IP of your router, is that right ?
[22:17] <noisewaterphd> ifconfig will show you your gateway
[22:17] <guntbert> ptDDev: see http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/07/03/disable-login-screen-user-list-ubuntu/
[22:17] <jk_> incognito, just delete the word "nofb" in that line, and leave the hash mark in place. It's not commented out; grub legacy uses those lines as templates. then do update-grub
[22:17] <Kills> VCoolio:  I only would liek to be able to move damn songs from my phone and to it -.-
[22:17] <Kills> and i need to go through a hell to do that -.-
[22:17] <VCoolio> Kills: ah, now that's different; you need to mount your phone with user permissions
[22:18] <VCoolio> how did you mount it?
[22:18] <Kills> with automount programa
[22:18] <Maletor> How do I fix my SSD so that it has the correct heads and cylinders (32 *32) not 255*63 which is what I have now?
[22:19] <VCoolio> Kills: don't know of that; use mount /dev/phone /folder -o rw,user   (do 'sudo chown -R /folder' first) or try pmount
[22:19] <Doyle> Anyone know how to open a self extracting archive (.exe) in linux?
[22:20] <mobasher> Doyle >> are you trying to run it  or just open it ?
[22:20] <Hopsa> ptDDev: Aha, now i see. Use the word "require" or "must" type their usernames.
[22:20] <Doyle> mobasher: I need to get the files out of it, whatever works is fine with me
[22:20] <magnetron> Doyle: try right clicking on it and open with file-roller
[22:20] <Hopsa> ptDDev: Or "I want them to".
[22:21] <VCoolio> Kills: actually, chown -R username:group /folder   group can be the same as username, up to you
[22:21] <SCD[Eire]> Hey so in my UNR I can login etc but when I try to do anything that requires an admin auth it says my password in incorrect. Anyone know what I can do?
[22:21] <bnixy7> headkase314: I need to run... work calls.
[22:21] <incognito> jk_, I just looked in /grub/boot and there is no menu.lst
[22:21] <mobasher> Doyle >> check PM see if that helps
[22:21] <Doyle> magnetron: I don't have that option, but i see file roller is installed
[22:22] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Open the user account gui and select not to have "root" disabled.
[22:22] <glebihan> incognito: probably using grub2, so you should look for grub.cfg
[22:22] <magnetron> Doyle: do you know which compression it's using?
[22:22] <incognito> glebihan, thanks
[22:22] <lorenzo> !list
[22:22] <Doyle> mobasher: I'll give that a try. Mag, rar I believe
[22:22] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa, I can't. It wont let me
[22:22] <magnetron> Doyle: and rar is installed on your system?
[22:23] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: You use your own password to open it (via sudo)
[22:23] <headkase314> bnixy7, see here for a possible solution -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88206
[22:23] <jk_> incognito, the line to change in grub2 will be in /etc/default/grub and normally just contains "quiet splash" without anything else.
[22:23] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa, that's my problem. It wont let me. It says the password is wrong but I know it's right because I login with it
[22:23] <bnixy7> headkase314: thank you for your help.
[22:23] <walterj89_> is there a command to reset a serial port,  nad any attached controller?
[22:24] <litropy> Hi, peeps. How do I connect to my laptop over my network? I'm running samba and can screenshare .. I just don't see my other computer's hd.
[22:24] <Dice-Man> hi there
[22:24] <headkase314> bnixy7, you're welcome, good luck if you have to run - try back again when you're back.
[22:24] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Is your username listed in /etc/sudoers ?
[22:24] <Doyle> magnetron: mobasher bah, go it... I figured rar would be installed by default these days
[22:24] <glebihan> SCD[Eire]: do you manage to use "su" (not sudo) in a terminal ?
[22:24] <Doyle> bad assumption
[22:24] <litropy> laptop runs maverick
[22:24] <Dice-Man> my mouse does not moove i'm on a fresh install of lucid lynx
[22:24] <magnetron> Doyle: well it's shareware and not free, so Ubuntu can't legally do that
[22:24] <mobasher> Doyle >> :)
[22:24] <glebihan> Hopsa: he won't able to see that if he cannot get admin privileges
[22:24] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Can you run: "sudo apt-get update" ?
[22:24] <Dice-Man> i have a samsung n150 plus
[22:24] <Dice-Man> netbook
[22:24] <Doyle> gotcha
[22:24] <Doyle> thanks
[22:25] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa, no because it tells me my sudo password is wrong
[22:25] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Hmm, odd....
[22:25] <SCD[Eire]> glebihan, nope I can't
[22:25] <Dice-Man> someone could help me please ?
[22:25] <glebihan> Hopsa: do you have a live CD ?
[22:25] <mobasher> Dice-Man>> what's up ??
[22:26] <Dice-Man> mobasher, oh cool but my mouse does not moove anymore :/
[22:26] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: So you can login with your username and password (that isnt root) and you cant do pam auth via sudo to gain administrational privileges
[22:26] <incognito> jk_, thanks, I just opened grub.cfg and it said "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE."
[22:26] <Maletor> How do I fix my SSD so that it has the correct heads and cylinders (32 *32) not 255*63 which is what I have now?
[22:26] <glebihan> SCD[Eire]: do you have a live CD ?
[22:26] <Hopsa> glebihan: No
[22:26] <mobasher> Dice-Man>> what have you changed ??
[22:26] <glebihan> Hopsa: sorry, was asking to SCD
[22:26] <Hopsa> glebihan: I saw that :)
[22:26] <SCD[Eire]> Exactly Hopsa , usually I'd reinstall but someone borrowed by USB and I only have a 512MB usb with me now :(
[22:27] <Dice-Man> mobasher, i hit some touches like f1 randomly to see what happen
[22:27] <SCD[Eire]> glebihan, think that answers you too :P
 have you considered rebooting ?
[22:27] <rblst> anybody here who can help me using my logitech cam with skype in 10.04 please?
[22:28] <Dice-Man> mobasher, yes but not the pc, the server X what you think about it ?
[22:28] <salty> how can i burn a .cue, .bin image in ubuntu 10.4?
[22:28] <Hopsa> glebihan: would that limit the amount loaded into ram so that somehow sudo wouldnt work ? / I feel its not a problem.
[22:28] <crohakon> Is freeciv any good?
[22:28] <Dice-Man> i forgot the cmd for restarting the server X
 hmm...okay i'm confused..u rebooted or no ?
[22:28] <Dice-Man> no
[22:29] <Dice-Man> i want to reboot the server X
[22:29] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa, it's installed on my machine which has 1GB of ram. I cannot reinstall because the biggest USB I have is 512MB
[22:29] <VCoolio> Dice-Man: sudo service gdm restart
[22:29] <SCD[Eire]> Should have been clearer
 k ..reboot then please
[22:29] <Hopsa> crohakon: Try it :) ... Also try warzone 2100, Monkeybubble, Torcs and Racer :)
[22:29] <walterj89_> rblst .. good luck getting anything logitec working..  they dont support linux last time I checked
[22:29] <headkase314> Dice-Man,  go to System > Preferences > Keyboard and then in that go to Layout tab and click Options then expand "Key sequence to kill X server" and check the option.  Close it all out and from then on Control+Alt+Backspace will get you out of most crashes by killing the X server and returning you to the login screen.
[22:29] <glebihan> Hopsa: no, was asking that, because if he had had a live CD, he would have been able to boot on edit and manually edit /etc/sudoers
[22:30] <mobasher> Dice-Man >> if you need to reboot...what you can do is press ALT + F2 and type gnome-terminal ...when in terminal type sudo reboot
[22:30] <Hopsa> glebihan: Seems to be what he should do, edit /etc/sudoers.
[22:30] <Dice-Man> mobasher, ok thanks
[22:30] <rblst> walterj89_, funny thing is, i have two logitech cams, both worked out of the box some versions earlier, around 8.04; none does now
[22:31] <mobasher> Dice-Man >> np
[22:31] <glebihan> Hopsa: yes but he cannot do this without booting on a live CD, since he cannot get admin privilege
[22:31] <flixil> Hello. I'm trying to mix branches of software like I used to do in debian. I'm using lucid and I'm trying to mix with the newest in maverik but I cannot access them change lucid for maverik in /etc/apt/sources.list   What is the name I should use?
[22:31] <Hopsa> glebihan: Isnt the entire /etc booted into ram ?
[22:31] <walterj89_> rblst... ya a quick search and I do see it working with 8.04
[22:31] <headkase314> flixil, you're insane.
[22:31] <walterj89_> well some logitec cams
[22:31] <headkase314> flixil, ;)
[22:32] <glebihan> Hopsa: I don't think so, but I may be wrong
[22:32] <rblst> walterj89_, so does this imply ubuntu is actually getting worse? hp printers ditto, BTW
[22:33] <Hopsa> SCD[Eire]: Where did you get this live cd from ?
[22:33] <walterj89_> rblst  ... not really,  just not keeping up with newer webcams i guess
[22:33] <SCD[Eire]> I downloaded it and just wrote it to the usb
[22:34] <walterj89_> rblst  .. i expect is more of those webcams having worse drivers tho
[22:34] <donkeyy> HI room
[22:34] <mobasher> donkeyy>>> whas up happening :)
[22:34] <glamvian> hi
[22:34] <donkeyy> hey mobasher
[22:34] <rblst> walterj89_, but in my case, i am using (or, more precisely, trying to use) the _same_ cams
[22:34] <Hopsa> rblst: The HP1000x printers need firmware etc so thats a no-buy for me. I opted for the samsung printers instead.
[22:34] <donkeyy> I have a question
[22:34] <flixil> Oh shit sorry I mispelled maverik and it's maverick. Now it works :)
[22:34] <glamvian> how are you today all
[22:35] <flixil> headkase314, thanks for your constructive tip
[22:35] <glebihan> !ask | donkeyy
[22:35] <walterj89_> rblst  try searching on google.com/linux
[22:35] <mobasher> donkeyy>>> you just reminded me to watch shrek lol
[22:35] <Hopsa> rblst: The HP100x printers need firmware etc so thats a no-buy for me. I opted for the samsung printers instead.
[22:35] <donkeyy> CAn you make a linux USB where you can actually boot up to linux and save things within linux?
[22:35] <SCD[Eire]> Hopsa I downloaded it from the site and wrote it to a usb
[22:35] <donkeyy> Yes Mobster thats the point
[22:35] <donkeyy> :)
[22:35] <erUSUL> !usb | donkeyy
[22:35] <jk_> glebihan, can't SCD reboot into recovery mode and do the editing?
[22:35] <donkeyy> its Donkeeey
[22:35] <rblst> Hopsa, what i'm trying to get at is that hp printers worked smoothly some versions back, now it's areal pain getting them work under Ubuntu
[22:35] <donkeyy> lol
[22:35] <headkase314> flixil, you're welcome but I still think you're mad ;)  Mixing like that?!
[22:35] <walterj89_> rblst I found this but if it works with ubuntu I dont know http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/
[22:35] <Hopsa> rblst: I like the big Gestetners as well. Very robust.
[22:35] <mobasher> donkeyy>>> lmao
[22:35] <incognito> jk_, there is no such line in the /etc/default/grub file, but there is a line that say's, "GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 my computer monitor is 1024x768. Do you think that if I change it that will solve my problem?
[22:35] <glebihan> jk_: even in recovery mode, he'll need root password to access shell
[22:35] <donkeyy> haha
[22:35] <rblst> walterj89_, i'll take a look, thanks
[22:36] <donkeyy> NO I know you can make a linux live USB
[22:36] <Hopsa> rblst: their firmware isnt "free" to use and include in distributions.
[22:36] <mobasher> !usb | donkeyy
[22:36] <donkeyy> but how can I make a regular linux USB where I can save things within linux
[22:36] <flixil> headkase314, you can pin packages so that that mixture is contolled http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
[22:36] <glamvian> linux is kimprut the world
[22:36] <jk_> glebihan, funny, i don't here. the password is only needed if one has set a password for root, rather than being content to use sudo.
[22:36] <erUSUL> donkeyy: normal fat32 usb's are not good enough for you ?
[22:36] <Hopsa> rblst: That will also mean its not free to modify so that users will like the printers they bought :(
[22:37] <headkase314> flixil, I believe you must know what you're doing - it sends shivers up MY spine though... =)
[22:37] <glebihan> jk_: oh yes, so it may work (I do have set a root password)
[22:37] <donkeyy> ok I have a live USB of linux mint
[22:37] <rblst> Hopsa, i've never heard of this manufacturer before
[22:37] <donkeyy> BUt I cant save things in it
[22:37] <Hopsa> rblst: Ricoh ?
[22:37] <donkeyy> Its always just like a live cd
[22:37] <glebihan> SCD[Eire]: you may try what jk_ suggested
[22:37] <glamvian> kimprut is the best in the world
[22:37] <SCD[Eire]> How do I boot to safe mode?
[22:37] <rblst> Hopsa, yes, i've heard about that
[22:37] <ZykoticK9> salty, cdrdao should be able to burn bin/cue files.
[22:38] <glebihan> SCD[Eire]: reboot in recovery mode, access the shell and edit /etc/sudoers to add your username to it
[22:38] <mobasher> donkeyy>> live cd is live cd it works from the memory no changes to physical drive is done...it's just to try out and stuff
[22:38] <Hopsa> rblst: They joined forced with Gestetner. Utmost good printers.
[22:38] <flixil> headkase314, I know, the spirit of ubuntu users is try not to get your hands dirty :) I come from debian and gentoo
[22:38] <donkeyy> yes mobasher
[22:38] <Hopsa> forces
[22:38] <SCD[Eire]> glebihan, how do I put it in recovery mode?lol
[22:38] <donkeyy> but in a live udb you can save things right?
[22:38] <Dice-Man> i restarted it and it run
[22:38] <Dice-Man> thanks a lot
[22:38] <salty> ok thnx ZykoticK9
[22:38] <rblst> walterj89_, i didn't know about this linux google, cool!
[22:38] <headkase314> flixil, ;)  My Ubuntu-fu is not up to doing that... Yet.. ;)
[22:38] <flixil> donkeyy, you can save on the hard drive or if it was enabled on the usb itself
[22:39] <mobasher> donkeyy>> there are a few changes in the new live cd i'm not too familiar with it..i'm on the old school ubuntu machine :)
[22:39] <glebihan> at startup,  access grub menu, and select the recovery mode kernel
[22:39] <flixil> ubuntu-fu?
[22:39] <glebihan> SCD[Eire]: at startup,  access grub menu, and select the recovery mode kernel
[22:39] <Hopsa> rblst: I used to buy alot of HP printers, but now ive lost all interrest in them.
[22:39] <headkase314> flixil, like kung-fu.
[22:39] <jk_> SCD[Eire], press the left shift key immediately after booting, to bring up the grub menu. then arrow down one line to the one that says "recovery" and press Enter. You'll get a menu with a number of options, one of which is to enter a root shell. Take that one and be very careful what you do.
[22:39] <flixil> oh gongfu
[22:39] <chrissharp123_> SCD[Eire]: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo#recoverymode
[22:39] <headkase314> =)
[22:39] <donkeyy> mobasher is it posible to enable it on the usb, so it will boot from the usb and pretty much run like the hardrive?
[22:40] <glebihan> jk_: there again it depends, for me it's escape :)
[22:40] <donkeyy> or sorry flixil
[22:40] <SCD[Eire]> Ok thanks jk_  and glebihan , be back on soon let you know how I got on
[22:40] <glebihan> SCD[Eire]: ok
[22:40] <Hopsa> rblst: I have no relation to any printer manufacturer or so if you wonder.
[22:40] <mobasher> donkeyy>> you need to configure your bios for that to boot from it whenever u want
[22:40] <donkeyy> Yes it boots from the USB
[22:40] <jk_> glebihan, it's escape for grub legacy but left shift for grub2. SCD may need to try both but I figure that he's using grub2.
[22:40] <donkeyy> but its in LIVE Mode
[22:40] <flixil> donkeyy, the app that you used to create (burn) the live usb should be able to enable space in it for documents and stuff
[22:40] <mobasher> donkeyy>> just change the boot sequence
[22:41] <glebihan> jk_: yes it's more likely
[22:41] <flixil> headkase314, let's try the new kernel. Reboot :)
[22:41] <mobasher> donkeyy>> yes..when you remove it it will not boot from it
[22:41] <rblst> Hopsa, but you're saying that these makes are no-no for linux?
[22:41] <donkeyy> WHats a good distro for a live usb?
[22:41] <donkeyy> with decent speed
[22:42] <mobasher> donkeyy>> all are good mate what you like is the choice is yours...i have been with ubuntu for 3 years not...love it wana stick with it :)
[22:42] <donkeyy> cool mobasher
[22:42] <Hopsa> rblst: Atleats the 100X series where crap. Requires software loaded into ram that is non-free to the customer who bought HP-Printers.
[22:42] <donkeyy> :)
[22:42] <headkase314> donkeyy, I sometimes boot Puppy Linux -> http://puppylinux.org/main/index.php?file=Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm
[22:42] <mobasher> ;)
[22:42] <donkeyy> I liked Fedora but it was too difficult :(
[22:43] <headkase314> donkeyy, for running off USB that is, installed Ubuntu all the way.
[22:43] <rblst> Hopsa, i see
[22:43] <Hopsa> rblst: I bought some HP 1005 printers and they utilized that crap.
[22:43] <mobasher> donkeyy>> lol...ubuntu is nice and user friendly
[22:43] <Hopsa> rblst: I always liked HP but now i feel theyve done bad.
[22:43] <donkeyy> headkase314... what do you mean install it all the way
[22:44] <rblst> Hopsa, i have similar feelings
[22:44] <mobasher> donekyy>> he means on the HD like a real OS
[22:44] <headkase314> donkeyy, Installed I have and use Ubuntu but sometimes I boot off of USB with Puppy Linux and use that as a Live session.  It has a persistence option too which can be useful.
[22:44] <donkeyy> ok so from a live cd... can I install it on the usb??
[22:44] <mobasher> donkeyy >> make sure you backup the data dude...before you do something like that ..yes u can
[22:44] <donkeyy> lol
[22:45] <donkeyy> I have nothing on the usb
[22:45] <mobasher> donkeyy >>lol...so man people start to do that out of curiosity and kill the cat if u know what i mean :)
[22:45] <headkase314> donkeyy, yes just keep the ISO you download, burn it boot the cd then there is an installer on the cd that can transfer the ISO (from your hard drive) over to a USB stick.
[22:45] <Hopsa> rblst: Ill think about emailing them about lost sales but yould think theyd know better then not pleasing their buystaff/admins/users etc.
[22:45] <donkeyy> thanks headkase314 and mobasher
[22:45] <headkase314> donkeyy, you're welcome.
[22:45] <mobasher> donkeyy >>np anytime
[22:45] <donkeyy> :D
[22:46] <rblst> Hopsa, hmm, not worth your time i guess
[22:46] <Hopsa> rblst: It wouldnt surprise me if we dont have 10000 of their older printers and a few hundred Gestetners.
[22:47] <Hopsa> rblst: I think it would change things.
[22:47] <rblst> Hopsa, where do you work?
[22:47] <incognito> jk_, and glebihan I don't know if what I did solved the problem, but it booted this time. Sometimes it boots for a while, and then just stops working. I guess I'll see if it is fixed in time. Thanks for your help.
[22:48] <mobasher> rblst>> what a blunt question to ask on a global chat :)
[22:48] <jk_> incognito, you're quite welcome!
[22:48] <Hopsa> rblst: But what i can also tell you is that i have many friends that doesnt like their new unfree-must-have-to-use-their-printers-software
[22:48] <glebihan> incognito: you're welcome
[22:49] <incognito> I'm kinda new to linux.... this is fun
[22:49] <Hopsa> incognito: If you feel its fun youve landed on both feet :)
[22:50] <incognito> :)
[22:50] <Hopsa> Its how it should be.
[22:52] <erUSUL> !away > macode
[22:52] <rblst> mobasher, i don't think anybody cares, i was just curious
[22:53] <rblst> walterj89_, i'll try to compile this driver, thanks
[22:54] <mcc> So I'm confused. I'm staring at top. And apache2 seems to be taking up more and more RAM-- it's risen from not much %MEM to like 41%. However, while this happens, the "Swap:" line at the top of the screen doesn't seem changed-- it still says almost all of the swap is free. And Mem: hasn't really changed either, because it was saturated to start with.
[22:54] <mcc> Am I misreading top? How do I tell how much swap space is left?
[22:54] <erUSUL> mcc: free -m
[22:56] <mephiston> Hello guys
[22:57] <Hopsa> mephiston: good day
[22:57] <stealth_> Hey. I was thinking of upgrading Ubuntu to the 10.10 beta. When I install it using Update Manager, what does it do? Does it create a seperate option in the boot menu or overwrite my 10.04. Not fussed either way, just wondering.
[22:57] <glebihan> stealth_: it overwrites the existing installation
[22:57] <headkase314> stealth_, it overwrites existing files.
[22:57] <stealth_> Ahh good
[22:57] <Hopsa> stealth_: Basically leaves /home instact
[22:57] <incognito> mcc, I'm just a beginner, so you may know a lot more than I do, but my first instinct would be to also run conky and compare what it says.
[22:58] <Hopsa> stealth_: Basically leaves /home intact

[22:58] <stealth_> Ahh fair enough ikonia
[22:58] <MrUnagi> what is that crap
[22:58] <stealth_> When would you suggest upgrading it to 10.10?
[22:58] <sebsebseb> MrUnagi: spam
[22:58] <ikonia> stealth_: not until it's stable
[22:58] <sebsebseb> stealth_: when the final comes out
[22:58] <Sunderphon> MrUnagi: Every now and again that happens.
[22:58] <stealth_> Ahh ok
[22:58] <erUSUL> stealth_: two weeks before official release.
[22:58] <MrUnagi> never use to have that before...
[22:58] <incognito> what the heck!!!
[22:58] <erUSUL> stealth_: two weeks *after* official release.
[22:58] <stealth_> and hey sebsebseb
[22:59] <erUSUL> sorry
[22:59] <ikonia> stealth_: when it is officially released is when you should update
[22:59] <stealth_> Ahh ok ikonia
[22:59] <ZykoticK9> MrUnagi, incognito please don't talk about the spam (adds to the problem)
[22:59] <ndevastator> what the hell was that about with the autistic lord
[22:59] <incognito> gotcha
[22:59] <ikonia> don't worry about it - lets move on
[22:59] <ndevastator> ok
[22:59] <sebsebseb> stealth_: yeah the update manager will say a new version is availalbe when its ready,  unless its set to only look for LTS
[23:00] <stealth_> Ahh good seb.
[23:00] <ikonia> stealth_: 10.04 is lts, 10.10 isn't so it won't offer the udpate
[23:00] <stealth_> Ikonia, I can install it from the update manager any time. So i can just do it when its launched.
[23:00] <glebihan> ikonia: depends on the configuration
[23:01] <ikonia> glebihan: yes, and the default 10.04 is no, non-lts update
[23:01] <mephiston> guys, can I make a question? I'm using gmail as a smarhost of postfix, and it's automatically resending all my emails, I have cheched /etc/mail.rc and I can't see anything suspcious for this resending, have you got any ideas how to avoid this anoying resends?
[23:01] <valbaca> decide for yourself: System > Administration > Update Manager
[23:01] <ikonia> mephiston: what's re-sending, postfix or gmail
[23:01] <headkase314> stealth_, basically you should only install 10.10 beta if you intend to be reporting bugs.  Because you will be running into them.  If you are looking to use the system problem-free you should at least wait until a release candidate.
[23:02] <stealth_> Yeah thats what I will be planning to do now headkase314
[23:02] <sebsebseb> stealth_: theres a setting you can change in the update manager so that non LTS releases are offered as well.  However 10.10 won't be out untill the 10th of October,  and then the download servers will get packed,  so probably best to wait a week or so at least, before upgrading really.
[23:02] <ikonia> stealth_: you need to be able to debug and work with problems, not just report "it's not working"
[23:02] <mephiston> mmm postfix, I thing
[23:02] <ikonia> mephiston: what makes you think that ?
[23:03] <stealth_> I can wait till October seb
[23:03] <mephiston> wait, I confirm if it was gmail, by it self, It will figure the "gmail settings" on the header
[23:03] <mephiston> mmm
[23:04] <stealth_> Oh and sebsebseb you were right, 10.10 netbook does look pretty good
[23:04] <sebsebseb> stealth_: ok so you might want to do another clean install when 10.10 comes out, and put the netbook edition on
[23:05] <stealth_> Yeah
[23:05] <mephiston> ikonia: from: root <email@gmail.com> to user@gmail.com Date..... Subject mailed-by gmail.com
[23:05] <mephiston> but when I send it through thunderbird or webmail
[23:05] <stealth_> I think I am going to do that sebsebseb.
[23:05] <stealth_> How hard would it be
[23:05] <sebsebseb> stealth_: and since you got a seperate /home now, that will be really easy to do
[23:05] <stealth_> Ahh good
[23:06] <mephiston> ikonia: but with thunberbird, evolution, and webmail doesn't make this
[23:06] <mephiston> so... I'm a bit lost >_<
[23:06] <stealth_> It just looks such a improvement seb, i am interested in getting it
[23:06] <sebsebseb> stealth_: give it same username and password, and should be fine
[23:06] <Hopsa> mephiston: Badly configured client
[23:06] <ikonia> mephiston: is thunderbird/webmail using postfix, or direct to gmail
[23:06] <stealth_> ok seb mate, sounds good
[23:06] <mephiston> directo to gmail, not postfix
[23:06] <mephiston> but the logcheck uses postfix
[23:07] <tracy68> lspci nor dmesg doesnt show my wifi build in card does anyone know why ?
[23:07] <ikonia> mephiston: ok, so look in the postfix log to see if it is being sent once or twice with postfix
[23:07] <mephiston> and it's really anoying to see "one incoming message, and a copy"
[23:07] <stealth_> I just install 10.10 netbook sebsebseb, and delete the partition with this copy on?
[23:07] <ikonia> tracy68: if lspci doesn't show it, it doesn't exist (disabled)
[23:07] <sebsebseb> stealth_: yeah or just format it, when putting the netbook edition on
[23:08] <Redeemed> Hey, is there any way I can change the location of my /home without sny bootable media?
[23:08] <stealth_> sebsebseb, how would I find my current partition and format it?
[23:08] <sebsebseb> Redeemed: maybe
[23:08] <stealth_> Well
[23:08] <sebsebseb> !home | Redeemed
[23:08] <stealth_> just find it, not format it, I can do that
[23:09] <glebihan> stealth_: df might help you
[23:09] <stealth_> df?
[23:09] <glebihan> stealth_: yes, type "df" in a terminal
[23:09] <sebsebseb> glebihan: he is kind of on about next month here,  and I helped him re install recently
 u know what it show ? Broadcom Corporation Device 4353  but thats not an info i dont know what chip it is how to determine the chip it use ?
[23:09] <ikonia> tracy68: make sure it's enabled (kill switch)
[23:10] <ridin> where is the application directory in wine?
[23:10] <sebsebseb> stealth_: if your going to re install Ubuntu,  be that desktop edition or net book,  or even another distro for that matter.  you can format the Ext4 partition in the installer, and install  what your installing there.  or  delete the partition, and make a new partition, and install there
[23:10] <erUSUL> ridin: ~/.wine/drive_c/
[23:10] <tracy68> ikonia is Broadcom Corporation Device 4353 BCM4353 ???
[23:10] <stealth_> Ahh ok sebsebseb, sounds easy enough I hope
[23:10] <ikonia> tracy68: so ?
[23:10] <Hopsa> stealth_: Add "-h" to get it in human readable form (GB/KB/Bytes) etc.
 im asking you
[23:11] <ikonia> tracy68: I don't know what model you have
[23:11] <sebsebseb> stealth_: in manual partitioning you would do it
[23:11] <stealth_> K hopsa, sounds pretty good mate. Hopefully I will get it set up fully. And sebsebseb, what are the advantages of me using Netbook Edition?
[23:11] <Esat> register nickserver
[23:11] <stealth_> Yeah seb, using gparted right?
[23:12] <ikonia> tracy68: are you using ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10
[23:12] <ridin> erUSUL: err:module:import_dll Library mss32.dll, i put it in ~/.wine/drive_c
[23:12] <sebsebseb> stealth_: at the moment with 10.04 not much over the desktop version, but from what I have seen of Unity as in webpages and videos, it seems quite a lot of advantages for 10.10 over the desktop version
[23:12] <sebsebseb> !unr | stealth_
[23:12] <tracy68> 10.04
[23:12] <stealth_> Lemme checkit
[23:12] <ikonia> tracy68: then why are you discussing it in #ubuntu+1
[23:12] <vlad> hi...i am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 lts server, won't see my sata dvd player during install!
[23:13] <tracy68> im using 10.04
[23:13] <ikonia> tracy68: then why are you discussing it in #ubuntu+1
[23:13] <sebsebseb> tracy68: #ubuntu+1 is for the development version of Ubuntu, currently 10.10
[23:13] <vlad> have tried setting bios to ide for controller, no help
[23:13] <vlad> any ideas?
[23:13] <tracy68> ubuntu+1 is for 10,10 and im here cuz im using 10.04
[23:13] <incognito> sebsebseb, I'm sure that you can change the location of your home folder. I'm sure you know that it can be done on installation, but I'm sure you can also do it if you can find the file that tells ubuntu where the home file/files is and change the entry.
[23:13] <stealth_> sebsebseb, I just HATED the little bar at the side in 10.04. Looked at the one in 10.10 and it looked amazing
[23:14] <sebsebseb> incognito: change the location of /home folder, you mean moving to a seperate partition, and after install? If so you want this
[23:14] <sebsebseb> !home | incognito
[23:14] <SpudDogg> stealth_: what bar?
[23:14] <stealth_> Ubuntu Netbook Remix SpudDogg
[23:14] <SpudDogg> stealth_: ahh k
[23:15] <Redeemed> another question, is it possible to move an entire installation to a different drive?
[23:15] <ikonia> Redeemed: yes
[23:15] <Hopsa> Redeemed: man "dd"
[23:15] <sebsebseb> Redeemed: I guess so,  I think you might even be able to do it in gparted, by copying the partiitons with it
[23:15] <incognito> sebsebseb, maybe I misunderstood what you were asking. I thought you were asking if you can do it.
[23:15] <vlad> anyone else have prob with Server install not seeing dvd/cd drive?
[23:15] <ikonia> vlad: no
[23:16] <sebsebseb> vlad: by the way there is a channel for the server edition #ubuntu-server
[23:16] <incognito> I don't like the fact that the exit minimize and maximize buttons are on the left side of the windows now. Can that be changed to the right?
[23:16] <vlad> ah...ok.  thx.  i'll take a look seb.
[23:16]  * hiexpo hey sebsebseb 
[23:16] <sebsebseb> vlad: your welcome
[23:16] <mephiston> it makes no sense... o.O in /var/log/mail.log doesn't appear any signal of this resend, that's werid
[23:16] <sebsebseb> hiexpo: hey
[23:16] <ZykoticK9> !controls | incognito
[23:16] <stealth___> Oh and sebsebseb will I be able to use a USB device to test netbook remix first
[23:16] <sebsebseb> stealth___: of course
[23:17] <ikonia> mephiston: it does show in the log once ?
[23:17] <stealth___> Ahh good seb, I am gonna do that first
[23:17] <sebsebseb> !usb | stealth___
[23:17] <Hopsa> Redeemed: dd if=/dev/YOURDEV of=DESTDEV possibly, check the manpage first
[23:17] <ridin> where is the application directory in wine
[23:17] <sebsebseb> ridin: its a hidden .folder in home called .wine
[23:17] <stealth___> Yeah I know how to do that easy enough I think seb
[23:17] <slacker_> I just installed ubuntu(10.4) x64 on my girlfriends laptop, shes got a reliance usb modem (ZTEMT usb modem). I tried installing directly from the .deb package available on it but it said its on the wrong architecture, so i installed wvdial and followed the instructions given over here http://bit.ly/cajkQ3 which did not work and gives me the error warning:inherited section [modem0] doesn not exist in wvdial.conf and vwdialconf tells
[23:17] <hiexpo> !wine \ ridin
[23:17] <stealth___> Just wondered if I would be able to do itwith 10.10
[23:17] <sebsebseb> slacker_: you can have a proper install on your USB stick as well
[23:17] <sebsebseb> slacker_: wrong one
[23:18] <mephiston> ikonia: look at the query
[23:18] <sebsebseb> stealth___: rather than just using it for the live session
[23:18] <ikonia> mephiston: look at what ?
[23:18] <hiexpo> !wine
[23:18] <stealth___> Huh seb
[23:18]  * vol7ron is away: like a champ
[23:18] <mephiston> ikonia: private message
[23:18] <stealth___> SOmeone told me that was not possible to do
[23:18] <Hopsa> slacker_: Get a package for the correct architecture
[23:18] <stealth___> and save my settings in the OS
[23:18] <sebsebseb> stealth___: you can have a install  from your USB stick,  instead of or as well as from a hard disk, if you want
[23:18] <ikonia> mephiston: it's just showing characters,
[23:18] <stealth___> Really?
[23:18] <ikonia> mephiston: does it show the mail being sent once ?
[23:18] <mephiston> o.O
[23:18] <sebsebseb> stealth___: yeah see bot link above
[23:19] <stealth___> ok
[23:19] <ridin> sebsebseb: err:module:import_dll Library mss32.dll, i tried putting it in the system32 folder but it said it needs to be in the application folder, i removed the dll in the system32 folder but i get that error
[23:19] <mephiston> ikonia: yes, send once to the user I said
[23:19] <mephiston> but there aren't any mention in the log file of the "autocopy"
[23:19] <slacker_> Hopsa: thats not really possible, they dont support it
[23:19] <Hopsa> ridin: Windows ?
[23:19] <ridin> Hopsa: wine
[23:19] <sebsebseb> ridin: basic Wine support here,  more complex Wine support  try #winehq
[23:19] <Hopsa> slacker_: Send an email..
[23:19] <zfe> hello
[23:19] <slacker_> no way to get wvdial or anything else to work?
[23:20] <zfe> it seems that linux can't read my battery stats properly
[23:20] <zfe> what can it be the problem?
[23:20] <ikonia> mephiston: send a test mail, check the mail id's in the headers, do they have different or the same unique reference number
[23:20] <sebsebseb> ridin: actsaully yeah most Wine support should be done in #winehq really rather than here, since its not proper Ubuntu support
[23:20] <Hopsa> ridin: Make sure you dont have duplicate dll files
[23:20] <sebsebseb> ridin: if you have a problem with your Wine program installation.  something went wrong, rather easy to start over, just move or delete .wine from your home folder.  its a hidden folder
[23:21] <Redeemed> Hopsa, thanks much.
[23:21] <Hopsa> ridin: what is the error message after "err:module:import_dll Library mss32.dll,"... ?
[23:21] <Hopsa> Redeemed: Np
[23:21] <ridin> rr:module:import_dll Library mss32.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\joshua\\
[23:21] <ridin> ownloads\\Grand Theft Auto Vice City - PC\\gta-vc.exe") not found | rr:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\joshua\\Do
[23:21] <ridin> nloads\\Grand Theft Auto Vice City - PC\\gta-vc.exe" failed, status c0000135
[23:22] <sebsebseb> ridin: oh your trying to Wine that
[23:22] <mephiston> ikonia: I'm comparing the headers, wait a sec, and I will say about
[23:22] <sebsebseb> ridin: well that probably isn't going to work well in Wine, if at all really, well maybe after some right configuring
[23:22] <BeSeN> Hello All can i ask somethink about wubi
[23:22] <glebihan> !ask | BeSeN
[23:22] <sebsebseb> ridin: Wine tends to work better in general with older apps, and also apps that aren't 3D games
[23:23] <ridin> sebsebseb: according to the appdb it works perfect
[23:23] <sebsebseb> ridin: well get support in #winehq for it then
[23:23] <Hopsa> ridin: Thanks. Seb takes over from now
[23:23] <sebsebseb> Hopsa: no I wasn't pushing you out :)
[23:23] <BeSeN> thanks. So i want to ask why wubi download 2 times ubuntu and after this give me some strange error and where i can find the log to read this error
[23:24] <BeSeN> regards :)
[23:24] <sebsebseb> Hopsa: its just getting programs working in Wine isn't really Ubuntu support, you could  help  him in #winehq if you want of course though :)
[23:24] <slacker_> its not like they would really care to code another package just for a single customer....additionally i think by getting the proper dependencies i could install a 32bit s/w on my x64 system (like i did for adobe air) and then there are options like wvdial....i just need a push in the right direction...
[23:26] <mobasher> how to create similar user account with access to apps in ubuntu ?
[23:26] <sebsebseb> mobasher: you mean like the default Ubuntu account?
[23:26] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> no no ...i have a user account ..but i need to mimic another account and profile and apps access to another user which i want to create
[23:27] <heffay> the wacom digitizer in my HP TC4200 tablet pc is not being detected in kubuntu 10.04. Can someone assist me in troubleshooting?
[23:27] <sebsebseb> mobasher: ok uhmm  I don't have Ubuntu with Gnome in front of me right now, but I think its
[23:27] <sebsebseb> mobasher: (well I would have if I loaded up a vm)   system > administartion > users and groups
[23:27] <sebsebseb> mobasher: well something like that, and in there you can set up the permissions for an account
[23:28] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> will that automatically give access to all apps which i have ?
[23:28] <sebsebseb> mobasher: what I would personally do is,  sudo addusr passwd in the terminal
[23:28] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> or i have to copy my home directory to his ?
[23:28] <sebsebseb> mobasher: add the account like that, and then do the rest graphically
[23:29] <sebsebseb> mobasher: wrong command by the way,  sudo addusr thats correct
[23:29] <sebsebseb> mobasher: then you can set it up so that the account can access your /home if you want as well
[23:29] <headkase314> sebsebseb, adduser
[23:29] <sebsebseb> as well as the account having its own /home
[23:30] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> hmm..not that i want them to access my profile
[23:30] <discozohan> Hello! I create raid10 with mdadm "/dev/md4", but after reboot "/dev/md4p1" appeared. Why ?
[23:30] <sebsebseb> headkase314: ok well I nearly had it :)  thanks though,  been a while since I used that
[23:30] <headkase314> sebsebseb, ;)
[23:30] <mephiston> ikonia: on headers Message-id: same for both, then the received field is bigger in the "wanted mail" but there is an ID which is the same, the rest it's very different
[23:30] <glaucous> (Sitting on Kubuntu, probably not related) - I'm having some problems with ATI drivers, I'm getting 150 fps / 5 frames on GLXGEARS. I installed latest 10.8.
[23:30] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> i would rather create a home directory for him and copy my contents of apps on to his basically that's what i want to do and give them limited access
[23:30] <patman023> hey guys, I can run any flavour up to 9.10 on my brand new laptop, but not 10.04. I updated my 9.10 install to 10.04 and then tried using the old 2.6.31 kernel, but nothing newer trhan 2.6.31 works. help?
[23:30] <SpudDogg> i just got a job as an information security engineer...they make me use windoze.  boooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[23:31] <sebsebseb> mobasher: ok thats quite easy to do, once you have the account set up
[23:31] <sebsebseb> mobasher: make the account, and then copy stuff in to it , basiclley
[23:31] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> k i have the account setup so just copy my home to his ?
[23:31] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> gota ya
[23:31] <sebsebseb> mobasher: however
[23:31]  * SpudDogg hugs vmware
[23:31] <sedstapler> SpudDogg: i prefer whips & handcuffs
[23:31] <sebsebseb> mobasher: remember home isn't only data, its program user data
[23:32] <SpudDogg> sedstapler: yea.  me too :(
[23:32] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> meaning ?
[23:32] <sebsebseb> mobasher: you don't know about the hidden .folders?
[23:32] <Hopsa> and .files
[23:32] <sedstapler> glaucous: glxgears is not a good benchmark
[23:32] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> that's okay...i can remove some of them from his account once done
[23:32] <sebsebseb> mobasher: no need to
[23:32] <sebsebseb> mobasher: he will have his own .folders
[23:32] <SpudDogg> speaking of hidden files, i find ntfs streaming interesting
[23:33] <glaucous> sedstapler: well it does tell me something. I tested particle effects and my laptop was faster, same thing in glxgears (150 vs 2200).
[23:33] <sebsebseb> mobasher: and then you can copy whatever data you want him to also, have into there,  or  even set up a folder in your /home folder I guess, and share it
[23:34] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> hmm..basically i have no data just desktop configurations and etc some app configurations profile and etc
[23:34] <patman023> somebody? anybody?
[23:34] <sebsebseb> mobasher: if you do this stuff correctly, you don't really need the same data twice on the computer
[23:34] <sebsebseb> mobasher: no data in /home ?
[23:34] <EvilPhoenix> I"m stuck in a rather odd predicament.  Laptop running 10.04, hard drive made a few loud sounds like something got stuck internally, froze a little, then now it gets stuck in a pre-ubuntu-login-screen boot loop
[23:34] <EvilPhoenix> TTY1 also is all out of proportion
[23:34] <Hopsa> SpudDogg: The interresting part in streaming is what the end computers can decompress at their end and what the server can compress and then send to the clients
[23:34] <sebsebseb> mobasher: in the graphical program, you can set up the file and group permissions
[23:34] <EvilPhoenix> any ideas what's going on?
[23:34] <sebsebseb> mobasher: the user account rights
[23:35] <sebsebseb> mobasher: he can have exactly the same as your account, or he can have something diffenret
[23:35] <mobasher> sebsebseb>> k let me give it shot and see how it goes i think i got it..thanks bro cheers
[23:35] <glebihan> patman023: what do you mean exactly, when you say it doesn't work ?
[23:35] <sebsebseb> mobasher: and by default things are set up with a new account, so that they can't install software, for example
[23:37] <sdwrage> Hey guys. I need to mv all files with the extension of rhtml to html.erb within a folder and its subfolders. How would i do that?
[23:37] <Hopsa> sdwrage: you want to move all files into one ?
[23:37] <phisher1> you want to move all files to a file named html.erb ?
[23:37] <rewati> hey guys my gnome panel is missing and alt+f2 is not giving me run command also my gnome is messed up what shud i do??

[23:38] <sebsebseb> !panels | rewati
[23:38] <sdwrage> Hopsa, no, I want to move all files with the extension .rhtml to the same filename but with the extension .html.erb

[23:38] <patman023> glebihan: I cannot run (even from a livecd/dvd, 32 or 64 bit) any kernel newer than even the newest iteration of 2.6.31, I end up getting a stack trace (i think)

 no such process gnome-panel is not running
[23:40] <sebsebseb> rewati: yeah uhmm
[23:40] <sebsebseb> rewati: maybe it just crashed on you, and you need to log out and back in agian
[23:41] <incognito> I ran this command: gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close" , but it did not change the close min max buttons to the right! as instructed. What' up?
 i have rebooted many times
[23:41] <sebsebseb> !controls | incognito
[23:41] <sebsebseb> incognito: you did exactly what those links said yeah?
[23:42] <incognito> I did log out
[23:42] <incognito> yeah what those links said
[23:42] <slacker_> Vivek: I just installed ubuntu(10.4) x64 on my girlfriends laptop, shes got a reliance usb modem (ZTEMT usb modem). I tried installing directly from the .deb package available on it but it said its on the wrong architecture, so i installed wvdial and followed the instructions given over here http://bit.ly/cajkQ3 which did not work and gives me the error warning:inherited section [modem0] doesn not exist in wvdial.conf and vwdialcon
[23:42] <sebsebseb> incognito: anyway the buttons on the left is only for the two new (well not so new now) default 10.04 themes
[23:42] <lucas-arg> hey one question guys, ive installed linux-image-generic-pae and headers-pae it installed -19 kernels, ive checked the repos and there is a -20 kernel, shouldnt those packages install lastest kernels by default?
[23:42] <sebsebseb> incognito: use another theme, maybe the old brown look from before 10.04 even, and the buttons will be on the right
[23:42] <sebsebseb> incognito: or the clear looks theme for example that still comes with Ubuntu
[23:43] <incognito> what the heck does !controls | incognito mean?
[23:43] <jdawg> I'm setting up a home network (two ubuntu lucid lynx systems)...the server is desktop edtion, client is netbook edition...I really don't know where to start...I did dowload those apache updates to enable public file sharing...thats about it
[23:43] <erUSUL> incognito: instructions for the bot
[23:43] <erUSUL> !bot | incognito
[23:43] <airtonix> incognito, it's hwo the bot forwards messages to you
[23:43] <intrader> Is the scrollbar behavior described somewhere?
[23:43] <nUboon2Age> sebsebseb: incognito: (alternatively use Ubuntu tweak i think to move buttons)
[23:43] <Hopsa> sdwrage: cd to the folder where you keep the files and run: ls | xargs -I {} mv {}.rhtml {}..html.erb (Test this first)
[23:43] <sebsebseb> nUboon2Age: maybe, but ubuntutewak isn't an offical program
[23:43] <sdwrage> Hopsa, thx
[23:44] <incognito> gotchyall
[23:44] <Hopsa> sdwrage: cd to the folder where you keep the files and run: ls | xargs -I {} mv {}.rhtml {}.rhtml.erb (Test this first)
[23:44] <Hopsa> Np, but test it first
[23:44] <erUSUL> ikonia:  Hi! I'm ubottu's favorite infobot <<< s/ubottu/#ubuntu/ ??
[23:44] <airtonix> incognito, did you try using uppercase STRING instead of just string ?
[23:44] <lucas-arg> sebsebseb: gconf-editor metacity tab general tab there u can oder buttoms
[23:44] <TwoD> If I have two gfx cards installed (PCI-E), will I be able to use both for output at the same time? I'm not talking SLi here, though both are nVidia cards.
[23:44] <incognito> okay... change themes....gotcha
[23:44] <Vivek> slacker_: My Photon modem works out of the box
[23:44] <nUboon2Age> sebsebseb: true.  but not too hard to obtain/use
[23:44] <sebsebseb> nUboon2Age: and it could probably mess peoples systems up a bit, if used wrongly
[23:44] <Vivek> slacker_: I have not used Reliance Netconnect.
[23:44] <incognito> airtonix, I'll try that
[23:44] <blackswan> free software... there's just so *much* of it. what's the best way to browse packages, in your humble opinion?
[23:45] <nUboon2Age> sebsebseb: i gotcha
[23:45] <jdawg> How do i set up a home network to get 2 ubuntu systems talking for file sharing?
[23:45] <erUSUL> !nfs
[23:45] <slacker_> Vivek: oh arite, just presumed ya might have faced a similar problem...but is there a way to do it with some kind of dialer like wvdial?
[23:45] <Hopsa> sdwrage: Let me know how this works.
[23:46] <sebsebseb> nUboon2Age: also there shoudn't really be any need for ubuntutweak since that kind of stuff, should be built in, but no
[23:46] <Hopsa> sdwrage: Let me know how this works. Also add directories in that test-directory of files.
[23:46] <slacker_> Vivek: would probably work right if it was a 32 bit system...the deb doestn work on this, or is there a way to solve those 32-bit dependencies like for adobe air
[23:47] <bsaulsbu> Hi, my ubuntu box is not returning ping requests. Any ideas?
[23:47] <blackswan> turn it on?
[23:47] <erUSUL> bsaulsbu: firewall?
[23:47] <Vivek> slacker_: I am on a 64 Bit Debian Testing now.
[23:47] <rblst> i cannot use cheese because my CPU is fully loaded, why is it so?
[23:47] <slacker_> Vivek: shuks, lucky you that it works :P
[23:48] <Grappleseed_> Can someone kick Grappleseed
[23:48] <bsaulsbu> erUSUL: not that i know of.
[23:48] <nUboon2Age> sebsebseb: i totally agree
[23:48] <erUSUL> rblst: use "top" to find out why
[23:49] <MoLoot> neat bot :)
[23:49] <sebsebseb> nUboon2Age: and yeah they could even use the nice graphical control centre for configuring the system, that Mandriva and PC Linux OS have, but no they don't,  anyway off topic now
[23:49] <rblst> erUSUL, top says what i already know, cheese consumes 70-90% of CPU time
[23:49] <bsaulsbu> i connected to IRC from my Ubuntu box, but when I try to ping it from an external machine, it wont respond
[23:50] <erUSUL> bsaulsbu: the routers's firewall?
[23:50] <sdwrage> Hopsa, I ended up using a shell command for git as I was using git.
[23:51] <sdwrage> for f in **/*.rhtml; do git mv "$f" "${f%.*}.html.erb";
[23:51] <sdwrage> :)
[23:51] <Hopsa> sdwrage: Haha! Cool! :)
[23:51] <sdwrage> yep :)

[23:52] <Hopsa> sdwrage: ls | xargs -t -i mv {} {}.filename.old
[23:53] <histo> Magnetro: do you have a X based system or just command line?
[23:53] <Magnetro> commandline i'm sure.
[23:53] <incognito> I tried typing STRING and it still didn't work (all caps)
[23:53] <histo> Magnetro: ?  I meant do you have a window manager or gnome or anything of that sort installed?
[23:53] <bsaulsbu> erUSUL: my roommate just told me there is some weird issue with ping requests sent through our wireless router
[23:54] <mark__> is there anyone who could help me get sound working on new system build dh55hc intel board no hd audio
[23:54] <bsaulsbu> i can just use wired. thanks
[23:54] <Magnetro> gnome.
[23:54] <histo> Magnetro: should work then.  Does sound work in other apps?

[23:57] <glebihan> SCD[Eire]: What happened, did it prompt for password ?
[23:57] <lolmac> real time indexing, something that i could find a file almost instantly in 3000gb of files
[23:59] <SCD[Eire]> glebihan, I couldn't get it to go into the grub menu at all it doesn't even display it. So then I just got Damn Small Linux and booted it as a live USB. But it wouldn't mount my hard drive and so I could do nothing :(
[23:59] <mark__> ubottu this is on board sound
[23:59] <rblst> i cannot use cheese with my logitech webcam because my CPU is fully loaded, why is it so?
[23:59] <headkase314> mark__, ubottu is a bot
