[00:00] <madfox> kemnitz idr off the top of my head. I think its x11 but check the help for apt-get and there should be an option to list packages and you can output that to grep
[00:00] <will> i nautilus under program?
[00:00] <jrib> will: nautilus is the name of the default file browser
[00:01] <kemnitz> madfox: k thanks. looking now....
[00:01] <Gnea> opr: weird. have you run sudo apt-get update?
[00:01] <martian67|> !danger Gnea
[00:01] <zebastianortis> hey i have a problem
[00:01] <martian67|> !danger
[00:01]  * Gnea looks at martian67| 
[00:01] <zebastianortis> i thoguht i had changed the password but it turns out i didnt i typed sudo passwd root and changed the password
[00:01] <zebastianortis> but my sudo pw is the same as before
[00:01]  * Gnea looks HARD at martian67| 
[00:01] <zebastianortis> it didnt work
[00:01] <almater> also will the startup disk creator wipe existing content of the specified mass storage device
[00:02] <myrmidon> hm
[00:02] <madfox> kemnitz try x11-common specifically
[00:02] <crucialhoax> Why wont AWN show open windows of icons not added to the dock?
[00:02] <opr> gnea:http://pastebin.com/r4Vbzni0
 Hm, i was looking in the permisions, but i dont see it there, i think its how the shell interprets the request, which could mean youre answear is in the bash RC file. --Just guessing though
[00:03] <will> where is my default windows 7 ntfs partition
[00:03] <rod> MOCP died in the upgrade to 10.10!!!!!
[00:03] <madfox> will its probably the only ntfs partition detected
[00:04] <will> I'm in the file brower
[00:04] <myrmidon> hm interesting
[00:04] <Gnea> opr: did you say you're using a proxy?
[00:04] <myrmidon> does anyone know how to use terminal to launch a program and close the terminal?
[00:04] <madfox> will well then get out of the file manager, open up a partition manager, and look at its mount point
[00:04] <opr> yes, auto configuration url one
[00:04] <jrib> econdudeawesome: move on to mpd!?
[00:04] <opr> gnea: ^
[00:05] <Gnea> opr: k, why can't you use direct connection?

[00:05] <zacstone> anyone got to get ubuntu 10.10 at 120hz yet?
[00:05] <kellnola> myrmidon, you can't. Why would you want to?
[00:05] <Gnea> so you can't load webpages on a uni computer?
[00:05]  * Gnea can load webpages just fine at his uni
[00:05] <opr> gnea: i can, the proxy is working in my browser
[00:05] <zacstone> with new 120hz gaming LCD monitors?
[00:05] <lakcaj> Hello.  I've tried google and the forums, but I'm having a problem.  I installed 10.10 on my desktop machine, and after installing the nvidia-current restricted driver, I get a blank screen after a reboot.  GDM does not come up at all.  Any suggestions?
[00:05] <myrmidon> so i can launch things from terminal
[00:05] <zebastianortis> Blicken, bash file?
[00:05] <myrmidon> and not have the terminal sitting there idle in the background
[00:06] <opr> gnea: everything works in windows too
[00:06] <prappl93> Anybody know if it is possible to get Evolution to run in the background so I can have it checking my e-mail constantly and be informed when I get new mail?
[00:06] <zacstone> ^1test
[00:06] <zebastianortis> by the way nobody answered my question, i thought i had changed my password by sudo passwd root but the password i use to login seems to be the same, can someone help me out
[00:06] <kellnola> myrmidon, you can. But normally, when you close the terminal, or more properly the shell, it closes it's child processes
[00:06] <Gnea> opr: what steps have you taken, so far, to get the proxy to work with apt?
[00:06] <zacstone> 120HZ 120HZ I WANT. I WANT IT NOW. ANYBODY KNOW WHY MY NVIDIA WON'T LET ME DO IT?
[00:07] <Gnea> zacstone: because you typed in all caps.
[00:07] <opr> gnea: system > preferences > network proxy > auto-configuration URL > apply system wide
[00:07] <jrib> zebastianortis: run « sudo passwd root -l », then run « passwd » (both as your user)
[00:07] <scott_ino> zebastianortis, because you don't login under root do you? it's not roots password it's your admin password
[00:07] <madfox> zebastianortis why are you loging in as root?
[00:07] <RRU_Sciguy> zacstoneL may not be supported by your monitor
[00:07] <jeff_mitchell> i have the latest Linux Format magazine, and i'm trying to install handbrake from the LXF DVD. it keeps telling me to install more dev junk, and then i try "make". but every time it says i need to sudo apt-get more dev tools. what the heck gives?
[00:07] <Smail> as port forwarding in Ubuntu? in which files are configuration?
[00:07] <will> where is partition manager
[00:07] <iflema> zebastianortis you dont set a root password in Ubuntu nor use the root account at all! sudo passwd [username] sill change the sudo password and what are you doing and this is Ubuntu support...
[00:08] <RRU_Sciguy> zacstone, it may not be supported by your monitor
[00:08] <zebastianortis> ok, now going back to my original request, how do i make a password prompt pop up when i click on a particular folder i created which only root can read/write?
[00:08] <scott_ino> Smail, have you tried UFW?
[00:08] <jrib> zebastianortis: you probably want to look into some sort of encryption options
[00:08] <jeff_mitchell> addendum on last post: is there a meta packages which installs all the dev stuff for me? build-essentials isn't enough.
[00:08] <Smail> yes!
[00:08] <madfox> will I dunno its your system.  I installed gparted and it shows up under administration
[00:08] <Gnea> opr: I see.... is there a result from this command:  echo $http_proxy
[00:08] <kellnola> zebastianortis, you would need to create a script for nautilus to do that
[00:08] <vsd20c> I'm setting up a network for a web server and a domain... I'm going to be running it off a older box but, not sure how i should run the base. If i installed ubuntu or puppy linux as a base would it be okay to virtualize the server machine on that base or should i directly install the server os on the machine.... or does it matter at all?
[00:08] <will> where is the partition manager
[00:08] <scott_ino> Smail, and no go? usually that does the trick for easy port forwarding
[00:09] <zebastianortis> kellnola, pcmanfm

[00:09] <iflema> zebastianortis alt+f2 gksudo [packgemanager] [path]
[00:09] <madfox> zebastianortis we already told you. Make a wrapper with gksudo
[00:09] <rww> jeff_mitchell: what sort of thing are you looking for that isn't in build-essentials?
[00:09] <opr> gnea: no it is blank :\
[00:09] <zanus> How do you change the login splash screen
[00:09] <opr> gnea: must i restart the computer?
[00:09] <Gnea> opr: no.
[00:09] <zanus> I can't find it in Themes
[00:10] <phirestalker> is there a way to get desktop effects to be enabled when my session starts so my cairo dock looks right?
[00:10] <Gnea> opr: okay, do you know how to use vim?
[00:10] <jeff_mitchell> rww: well, right now it says "E: Couldn't find package autoreconf". and before that it was a whole lot of other things.
[00:10] <kemnitz> madfox: I told aptitude to reconfigure it, and there was a bunch of errors about an illegal character in the version string. I then tried startx|less to see the whole mess of errors it was saying and I think I may have noticed the culprit. "FATAL: Module nvidia not found" then "NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module."... What package is for that?
[00:10] <kellnola> zanus, gdm2 isn't very configurable in ubuntu yet
[00:10] <zebastianortis> madfox, how!?
[00:10] <opr> gnea: not very well, can i use nano instead?
[00:10] <prappl93> quietone, thanks, but I don't know if that will work as I am planning. I mean with Evolution closed entirely... is there a way to keep it running in the background sort of thing?
[00:11] <blakkheim> opr: vim would be a very useful thing to learn
[00:11] <Gnea> opr: sure, do this:  sudo nano /etc/bash.bashrc
[00:11] <zebastianortis> gksudo pcmanfm /Home/Desktop/Elegance/$ = DEBUG: FmJob error: No such file or directory
[00:11] <madfox> kemnitz crap...not sure. I can try digging it up but idk if it would work or not. you may need to try a fresh install.
[00:11] <opr> gnea: roger
[00:11] <Smail> thank so you so much!
[00:11] <Gnea> opr: then add the following line:  export http_proxy=http://user:pass@your.proxy.server:port/
[00:11] <rww> jeff_mitchell: Install the "autoconf" package to get autoreconf. I don't know of a metapackage that covers autoconf etc., though.
[00:12] <madfox> zebastianortis muck around your menu configuration and look at how gksudo is used. Then make a new menu option that uses that for pcman.
[00:12] <opr> gnea: ok, standby
[00:12] <ddilinger> when doing nslookup on a domain of mine, i get 'no servers could be reached'  how can i find out what server its trying to get from(not the local named server, which is fine for all lookups besides this one, but whatever that server is connecting to that is timing out)
[00:12] <scott_ino> Smail, did you get it?
[00:12] <kemnitz> madfox: I'll try installing nvidia-kernel-common, which I notice isn't installed, and see if it starts behaving.
[00:12] <opr> gnea: i don't have a username and password?
[00:12] <dorin> does anyone know  how to get apt-get through ssh tunnel, like socks5 ?
[00:12] <Monika> I have just upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10. When I now click links in Thunderbird, they open in Konqueror instead of Firefox, even though I have set Firefox as the default browser in the system settings and set the http and https handlers in Thunderbird's about:config to /usr/bin/firefox. Any thoughts?
[00:12] <Gnea> opr: then http://your.proxy.server:port/
[00:12] <madfox> kemnitz sounds like a good idea. might need to reboot or even recompile the kernel though.
[00:13] <Smail> yes!
[00:13] <opr> gnea: ok, trying that
[00:13] <Gnea> opr: let me know when you've saved and quit
[00:14] <kemnitz> madfox: oooh. that will be an adventure! ... crud. how do I connect to eth0 via DHCP from the command line?
[00:14] <zebastianortis> madfox, ok how do i muck around my menu config?
[00:14] <zebastianortis> i am a newb
[00:14] <Gnea> opr: you then need to run this command:  . /etc/bash.bashrc  before sudo apt-get update
[00:14] <opr> gnea: i fixed it now, i didn't need to nano it, i just set up the proxy manually rather than with the config url
[00:15] <Gnea> opr: oh?
[00:15] <opr> gnea: yeah everything seems to be working now, heh heh heh
[00:15] <madfox> zebastianortis not sure. In gnome its under my administration
[00:15] <Gnea> opr: awesome
[00:15] <opr> gnea: thanks for your help and patience
[00:15] <Gnea> opr: cheers
[00:15] <vsd20c> Self bump: Making ubuntu network - for base machine can i virtualize off of puppy linux or should i just install the server os directly
[00:15] <zebastianortis> madfox, what should i google for if i'm on lubuntu
[00:16] <hDy> is it possible to use diffrent wallpapers on each desktop without compiz?
[00:16] <Gnea> zebastianortis: you should say that you're a noob in the first place, next time.
[00:16] <madfox> kemnitz hmm...there was a link somewhere about that. I can try looking for it. Or if you are adventurous info ifconfig
[00:16] <zebastianortis> Gnea, will do next time
[00:16] <hiexpo> nite all

[00:18] <suweid> Howdy, I was wondering if someone could maybe help me with a weirdo problem. My ISP uses some kind of custom settings... I don't know what it is exacly, but internet basically works after about 3 minutes of inactivity, when I plug it into my stationary computer. On my laptop however, it does not work. My best guess is that some DHCP setting needs longer timeout. Could someone all knowning point me to the right direction?
[00:18] <hiexpo> < south Gnea
[00:18] <Gnea> yeah, the system hardlocked 3 times in a row. finally it said "no more"
[00:18] <Flare183> `3Shades: you need to sudo kill vi

[00:19] <econdudeawesome> jrib: what is mpd?
[00:19] <madfox> kemnitz K, good luck
[00:19] <Flare183> `3Shades: if all else fails, use xterm
[00:19] <`3Shades> Flare183, where lol
[00:19] <jags> music player daemon
[00:20] <jrib> econdudeawesome: by "mocp" you meant the music player right?

[00:20] <econdudeawesome> jrib: yes. I haven't come across mpd.
[00:20] <Lateralus> Does anyone know where I can find a package of xserver-xorg-video-intel for lucid which has displayport support?
[00:20] <hiexpo> one must remember google is ones best friend
[00:20] <Gnea> between ubottu and google, yeah
[00:20] <Lateralus> Or where I can find instructions for building a package from the display-port branch of that driver's code
[00:20] <jrib> econdudeawesome: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki It has tons of clients.  Many on the console.  For example, ncmpcpp
[00:20] <Smail>  I know you people in the know! Topic for consideration; tracert goes, but the host does not ping?  whats the problem?

[00:21] <korisnik____> hi. i have amd64 procesor and 10.04 version. problem is that i dont know do i have amd64 or i86 version of ubuntu. if i have amd version i would update normally on 10.10, but if i have 10.4 i86 is it possible to update on 10.10 amd64 without full reinstall
[00:21] <Gnea> Smail: tracert is a windows program
[00:21] <hiexpo> root
[00:21] <zebastianortis> no i mean, how do you stay s root the whole time, i made a file that only root can write and its my journal
[00:21] <KB1JWQ> !root
[00:21] <zebastianortis> sometimes it takes me an hour writing an entry so
[00:21] <KB1JWQ> sudo bash?:-)
[00:21] <econdudeawesome> jrib: but why isn't mocp working? That is the preferred one for our household, and just works typically
[00:21] <Gnea> zebastianortis: it doesn't work like that.
[00:21] <Datz> any reason why gnome system monitor would be showing 7.8GB of RAM when 8 are installed
[00:21] <Flare183> korisnik____: open a terminal on the i386 version, and type in lshw
[00:21] <MrStein> sudo su
[00:22] <Smail> yes
[00:22] <korisnik____> man sudo, info sudo whatis sudo, apropos sudo
[00:22] <Flare183> korisnik____: and look for the CPU info, it'll tell you
[00:22] <jrib> econdudeawesome: oh I have no idea.  Did you check bugs.ubuntu.com?  What happens now when you try to run mocp?
[00:22] <Gnea> MrStein: bad. sudo -i is preferred
[00:22] <Flare183> Datz: Your BIOS might be reserving some
[00:22] <econdudeawesome> jrib: major fail.

[00:23] <MrStein> switching to VT1 by ctrl-alt-F1 disconnects me from WLAN. Switching back to VT7 (X) makes it to reconnect. Is this by design?

[00:23] <Monika> How can I disable this horrible Netbook shell that made itself default after upgrading to Maverick and get back normal KDE?
[00:24] <kemnitz> madfox: crud. this thing is having errors left and right... a fresh install is starting to sound like a great idea. Its still complaining about version strings. "error in Version string `3.0.147-586977_Ubuntu_karmic`: invalid character in revision number."
[00:24] <scott_ino> MrStein, just tried it, didn't disconnect me at all
[00:24] <jrib> econdudeawesome: and did you check bugs.ubuntu.com?
[00:25] <econdudeawesome> jrib: No, cause this is a legacy error from the beta. Thought I'd be disgruntled ;-)
[00:25] <karan> hi
[00:25] <rww> Monika: It's somewhere in System Settings. Workspace, perhaps? There should be a dropdown somewhere with "Netbook" and "Desktop" in it.
[00:25] <jrib> econdudeawesome: http://moc.daper.net/node/599 looks promising
[00:25] <karan> i eed help with wine
[00:25] <Monika> I have searched for Netbook and Desktop in the system settings. No result for Netbook. None of the results for Desktop had such an option.

[00:27] <karan> wat is  rm -rf
[00:27] <ente> karan: remove recursively
[00:27] <maco> karan: remove, recursively, forced
[00:27] <karan> meaning..?
[00:27] <scott_ino> MrStein, yes
[00:27] <ente> seanp2k: I was curious about the reactions
[00:27] <edbian> karan, It deletes everything on your hdd
[00:27] <KB1JWQ> ente: Troll elsewhere.
[00:27] <madfox> karan rm -rf delete EVERYTHING if you do it to / you wipe your system
[00:27] <Flare183> karan: it would remove everything in your root filesystem deleting everything
[00:28] <seanp2k> ente: I like umount -l / more
[00:28] <seanp2k> ente: echo > /etc/fstab is also fun
[00:28] <korisnik____> why not just use some winxp shitty program for fixing partition table. that really messes things up, and doesnt delete anything
[00:28] <MrStein> scott_ino: I tried it in LiveCD. On desktop I connect by clicking the NM applet (then enter WPA2 key...). If I go to VT1 (or VT2,...) the ifconfig shows the interface has no IP address assigned. pings fail etc...

[00:30] <scott_ino> MrStein, so you're saying when you switch using Ctrl+Alt F1 it disconnects you?
[00:30] <suweid> Scunizi, house.
[00:30] <MrStein> yes
[00:30] <kemnitz> madfox: lol. It seems to be saying its related to `virtualbox-3.0` which I did have installed, but I uninstalled it now. Hay! Now I'm not getting complaints about it. <reboots again/>
[00:30] <scott_ino> MrStein, WLAN
[00:30] <scott_ino> I can test on lan if you'd like/
[00:31] <Monika> at least I have tried every entry that could possibly translated to workspace
[00:31] <korisnik____> uname -e gives: 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 20:26:08 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux . does that mean i have i86 version?
[00:31] <glaucous> trism, thank you
[00:31] <Monika> no such setting anywhere
[00:31] <Flare183> korisnik____: Yes
[00:31] <maco> Monika: its icon is that yellow swirl?
[00:31] <MrStein> scott_ino:  I described it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594318
[00:31] <suweid> Scunizi, other people in the house have the same problem. After connecting jack to computer it take a few minutes to connect. This time it doesn't work though. :/
[00:31] <korisnik____> can i do update from 32 to 64?
[00:31] <MrStein> scott_ino: did you set you connection as a system connection?
[00:31] <korisnik____> without loosing data
[00:31] <Scunizi> suweid: well.. that jack in the wall goes someplace else in the house which interfaces to the cable line or phone line for internet access.. and has an internet "modem" attached.
[00:31] <ente> why is rm -rf / still considered dangerous even though it does nothing unless you add --no-preserve-root?
[00:32] <Scunizi> suweid: that modem is for cable internet or DSL.. do you know which?
[00:32] <seanp2k> glaucous: look in your ~/.themes folder in
[00:32] <madfox> kemnitz nice
[00:32] <seanp2k> glaucous: try this: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/themes-0.html.en
[00:32] <scott_ino> MrStein, just normal WLAN.... selected my SSID, entered in my WPA key (which is now saved in keyring) and away it goes
[00:32] <Flare183> korisnik____: No that I know of, what I had to do when I made that mistake with my laptop was back everything up and reinstall Ubuntu using the 64bit version
[00:32] <rww> ente: because 1) some currently-supported versions of Ubuntu don't have that patch, 2) generally people who say it are looking to cause damage.
[00:32] <madfox> ente cause you never know what strange things people do to their systems...
[00:32] <znull> hey any ideea why I can't mount my HDD ? mount: unknown filesystem type LVM2_member I'm getting
[00:32] <suweid> Scunizi, I'm from sweden, we don't have DSL. Everyone has ethernet everywhere! No modems...
[00:33] <ente> rww: which ones?
[00:33] <bastidrazor> ente: you
[00:33] <suweid> Scunizi, the connection is basically silent for a while, and then it starts to talk back.
[00:33] <seanp2k> ente: i work for a hosting company and we have had people do stuff like recursively chown /var and other dumb things
[00:33] <MrStein> scott_ino: well, if you ever feel bored, please try it in the Live environment and comment on that forum thread. ;)
[00:33] <MrStein> thanks for now
[00:33] <glaucous> seanp2k, thanks, will take a look
[00:33] <kemnitz> madfox: crud. still can't startx because it still claims the nvidia module is missing. You mentioned recompiling my kernel?
[00:33] <rww> ente: 8.04
[00:33] <ente> seanp2k: hey, that's nice
[00:33] <seanp2k> glaucous: NP, i modified my theme, it's not too hard
[00:34] <ente> rww: wow, that's still supported?
[00:34] <scott_ino> MrStein, just tried it again, no issues.... even ran a few commands in VT1
[00:34] <Scunizi> suweid: wow.. so it must come in via fiber or something.. well. I really don't know I'm sorry to say.. you might ask your ISP about that .. if others are having the same problems then it might be their issue and not yours
[00:34] <Monika> maco: thanks, found it \o/
[00:34] <korisnik____> ok, im googleing long time now, Flare183 , gonna see there, but tbh, there was too much work into this install to do full reinstall
[00:34] <rww> ente: LTS, so supported for three years on desktop, five on server.
[00:34] <madfox> kemnitz yeah. I havnt messed with that much but it seems that when you add a new kernel module you have to recompile it with that module. there are guides on the net.
[00:34] <Scunizi> suweid: their's meaning the ISP
[00:34] <glaucous> seanp2k, great. trying to figure  out a good mix between ambiance and clearlooks
[00:34] <maco> Monika: yay!
[00:34] <MrStein> scott_ino: well the obivous thing is to run ping on VT1 to see if it works
[00:34] <Pinna> I am using freenet6's ipv6 tunnel because I want to party with the cool kids and all that. The 400ms+ latency is a bit unsuitable for some applications such as IRC... so I still want to use ipv4 by default, using ipv6 only when necessary. How do I configure this? (i might also randomly die because of this)
[00:34] <Flare183> korisnik____: Just takes a lot of patience
[00:34] <Monika> and actually Arbeitsbereich could reasonably be translated to workspace ... not sure how I missed that#
[00:34] <seanp2k> glaucous: this might be of interest too:http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/metacity/metacity-themes.html
[00:35] <madfox> kemnitz if that doesnt work or starts going over your head too much Id just say F it lol
[00:35] <RedXIII> git
[00:35] <suweid> Scunizi, well, thanks anyway. I'm sure they are just doing something "clever". You don't happen to know if there is a DHCP ip aquisition timeout setting and how one would go about changing that value?
[00:35] <rww> ente: heck, 6.06 is also still supported on servers. LTS lasts a long time..
[00:35] <mm3> hi, is there a window with network services?
[00:35] <rohanc> unable to connect to internet in Ubuntu 10.10 wired DSL connection, any ideas guys?
[00:35] <glaucous> seanp2k, perfect
[00:36]  * madfox is away: Time for lunch!
[00:36] <seanp2k> rohanc: is it PPPoE or .... ?
[00:36] <Ryen> !away | madfox
[00:36] <ente> does ubuntu have any advantages on a server over, let's say, debian?
[00:36] <Scunizi> suweid: I don't ... however you might try using network manager and "disconnect" the network.. pause.. then reconnect and the computer will request an IP again.
[00:36] <edbian> ente, It's newer packages so there are more features.
[00:36] <suweid> Scunizi, that's how i used to "fix it" before!
[00:36] <RRU_Sciguy> rohanc, should connect entirely.....
[00:36] <karan> someone help ^.-
[00:36] <suweid> ifup / ifdown
[00:36] <edbian> ente, Other than that there is very little difference between Ubuntu server and Debian server.
[00:36] <rohanc> seanp2k: in windows yes it is PPPoE
[00:36] <scott_ino> MrStein, yes it works... sorry.. wish i could give you my working setup as i don't ever switch
[00:36] <karan> k atleast which is the best fps on ubuntu online?
[00:37] <seanp2k> rohanc: check here first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[00:37] <kemnitz> madfox: heh. yeah. I was trying my hardest to keep my current install just so that I wouldn't have to reinstall all of the PPAs and stuff I've got, but I'm starting to think that that may be easier that all this.
[00:37] <suweid> Scunizi, but now it doesn't work. Oh well. I'll google "internet not working" and die of old age. :)
[00:37] <rohanc> RRU_Sciguy: i'm sorry, i couldn't get it
[00:37] <rww> ente: Ubuntu adds a bunch of cloud computing support and the option for commercial support from Canonical. Other than that, not really imho.
[00:37] <Scunizi> suweid: LOL!  what happens if your machine is off.. plugged into the network and is turned back on.. if it works immediately then it's a strange issue..
[00:37] <seanp2k> rohanc: might be better to post all the details in a forum post because it's a complicated problem
[00:37] <Pinna> oh well.
[00:37] <ente> sounds reasonable
[00:37] <rohanc> seanp2k: i've already connected and updated my system.. but them later after rebooting.. it doesn't connects
[00:38] <ente> support from canonical was the main reason why ubuntu was so widely accepted, iirc
[00:38] <rohanc> seanp2k: what details do I have to post?
[00:38] <edbian> ente, Yeah that's probably true.
[00:38] <suweid> Scunizi, no it would still take 3 minutes. Of course I had a router at some point and then everything would work right away, because it would hold the connection. It had an accident involving a plant and a lot of swearing so it's out of commision now.
[00:38] <mm3> should I repeat the question?
[00:39] <Pinna> So... how do I configure my netbook to default to ipv4?
[00:39] <edbian> Pinna, It already does
[00:39] <edbian> mm3, please do
[00:39] <Scunizi> suweid: does it happen when more than one machine is plugged into the network in the house at the same time? does it happen if only one machine is plugged in ?
[00:39] <geckopunk> Good evening everyone!
[00:39] <mm3> hi, is there a window with network services?
[00:39] <waaade> does anyone have time to help me with some wireless problems in 10.10?
[00:40] <KB1JWQ> !ask | waaade
[00:40] <edbian> waaade, yep
[00:40] <Pinna> edbian: does it? it does not explain why all my irc clients use ipv6 when i tell them to connect to irc.freenode.net
[00:40] <noob581849864> where do i DL a stable version of Handbrake?
[00:40] <mm3> for example under SUSE there is a graphical app to enable services at startup
[00:40] <Flare183> noob581849864: You can't at the moment unless you build it
[00:40] <suweid> Scunizi, it happens always, and there's only one jack so i'll go with "one machine".
[00:41] <afallenhope> !ati
[00:41] <edbian> Pinna, oh, IDK it might be choosing ipv6 over ipv4.  I"m not sure.
[00:41] <waaade> edbian, my wireless works perfectly when i first boot up.  (i'm running 10.10 on an MSI u100 netbook).  When i put it to sleep and wake it up again, i can see networks but can't connect.  it just keeps asking for the router's password
[00:41] <edbian> waaade, Let's do it.  PM me if you want
[00:41] <geckopunk> So I've been getting this error when I startup. My Screenlets says: "Internet connection is required to run this Screenlet"
[00:41] <geckopunk> So I thought it was my ClearRss screenlet
[00:41] <Pinna> i had to explicitly kill gogoc (my tsp client for freenet6) to be able to use ipv4 now.
[00:41] <Scunizi> suweid: then you only have 3 choices.. reconnect the way you have been.. google ubuntu dhcp auto refresh timing or something.. or get a new router ..
[00:42] <Pinna> this is my guess, edbian
[00:42] <ente> whatever, good night to all of you
[00:42] <geckopunk> I edited the code in /usr/shar/screenlets/ClearRssScreenlet.py to make __timeout = 15 to accomoated for my wireless to connect
[00:42] <geckopunk> but I still get the error...
[00:43] <Pinna> well, i would appreciate it if anyone could help. the original question is "I am using freenet6's ipv6 tunnel because I want to party with the cool kids and all that. The 400ms+ latency is a bit unsuitable for some applications such as IRC... so I still want to use ipv4 by default, using ipv6 only when necessary. How do I configure this?"
[00:43] <geckopunk> is there a code to only connect my ClearRSS screenlets to run when active connection is present?
[00:43] <noob581849864> Flare183: compiling from source gives me a deluge of errors. see here: http://pastebin.com/5DXCtAwF
[00:43] <suweid> Scunizi, I'm going to google until I get gray hair, then I'll consider getting a router. :D
[00:43] <edbian> waaade, Problems like that are common.  It is difficult to write open source software for things like suspend to disk and suspend to ram because they are poorly implemented and not well standardized.  The only suggestion I can make is try modprobe -r <moduleName> the module for the wifi card right before you suspend.  Then modprobe <moduleName> right after you come back from suspend to get it working again.
[00:43] <suweid> Scunizi, thanks.
[00:43] <e01> hello
[00:43] <KindOne> Anyone know how to make Ubuntu NOT ask for my password every time i want to do something ???
[00:44] <e01> i had problem when watching movies on totem
[00:44] <e01> i see that pulseaudio uses 90% of cpu
[00:44] <Flare183> KindOne: you can't because its a security flaw if its not that way
[00:44] <jrib> KindOne: it will only ask for a password for administrative tasks.  What exactly are you doing so often that requires a password?
[00:44] <waaade> edbian, i'll give that a shot.  i appreciate your help!
[00:44] <scott_ino> KindOne, anything administrative you can't... however you can auto login and auto installs security updates
[00:44] <edbian> KindOne, It only asks for the password when you want to do something an administrator should do.  It's pretty much the core of Linux security that you're not root all the time.
[00:44] <e01> is it known problem or is just on my system
[00:44] <noob581849864> KindOne, you could run as root all the time (bad idea) or you could change the time delay, which is usually 15 mins. i have the same problem, but i put up with it!
[00:44] <edbian> waaade, Yep.
[00:44] <RRU_Sciguy> e01: shouldn't happen.......
[00:45] <noob581849864> KindOne, change the 15 min sudo period to 30 min... maybe?
[00:45] <e01> RRU_Sciguy, any idea?
[00:45] <Pinna> KindOne: do you mean sudo, or your keyring?
[00:45] <recmajkemi> my  apelet network manager moved to right side all of the sudden and i cant move it back on default place
[00:45] <RRU_Sciguy> e01: not really, may be the sound decoders you are using......
[00:46] <cxo> What was the previous default font called?
 "does ubuntu have any advantages on a server over, let's say, debian?" - In contrast to Debian, Ubuntu will say "please" and "thank you".
[00:46] <test34> all I need to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 is: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade right?
[00:46] <jrib> test34: nope
[00:46] <jrib> !upgrade | test34
[00:46] <test34> thanks jrib
[00:46] <edbian> test34, Go into software sources and make sure it's set to normal releases and not LTS only.  Other than that, yes
[00:47] <test34> ok edbian, thanks
[00:47] <Ianr> I rebooted my machine today and now I can't resolve domain names.  I can ping ip's and connect to my wireless network.  Any ideas on where to look? I never had to set my name servers or anything like that before
[00:48] <noob581849864> compiling handbrake from source is useless. can't i just add another repo and DL the package?
[00:48] <edbian> Ianr, The name servers are set in /etc/resolv.conf
[00:48] <KindOne> Yeah, it asked for my password whenever i do stuff like Synaptic Package Manager.... I just want to turn that password asking thing off, and I know the risks
[00:48] <Cheeto> Is there a way to download 10.10 directly onto my Ubuntu 10.04 machine?
[00:48] <realubot> How do I set a password for the user ubuntu using a Ubuntu Live on USB? I know that sudo passwd ubuntu will set a password but it won't be stored at my persistent Ubuntu Live USB. How do I set a password for the user ubuntu that will prevent the use of sudo without having a password?
[00:49] <Ianr> edbian: file doesn't exist
[00:49] <edbian> Cheeto, Yes.  Go into software sources, change it from LTS to normal. Then start the update manager.  It does take a long time but it's in place
[00:49] <edbian> Ianr, you don't have an /etc/resolv.conf   ?
[00:49] <Scunizi> test34: dist-upgrade *does not* take you to the next release.. it upgrades packages you already have within the release you're running
[00:49] <Cheeto> edbian, how do I change it?
[00:49] <kemnitz> madfox: WOOOOOOO! :D Just tried booting with my old kernel, and it worked like a charm. At least now I can mess with this stuff through Synaptic :P
[00:50] <edbian> Cheeto, ?  It's a drop down menu
[00:50] <Ianr> edbian, whats wierd is that I have a resolve.conf.tmp
[00:50] <Ianr> edbian, resolve.conf is empty
[00:50] <edbian> Ianr, Very odd.  Change it.  Drop the .tmp
[00:50] <edbian> Ianr, not resolve.conf, resolv.conf
[00:50] <edbian> Ianr, no 3
[00:50] <edbian> Ianr, no e*
[00:50] <korisnik____> Cheeto: you go to software repository, and there look for long time support, swithc to normal
[00:51] <Cheeto> edbian, found it. Sorry. Couldn't find it for a sec. :S
[00:51] <Cheeto> korisnik____, found it. ;)
[00:51] <virtu> hi, I am back again... anyone knows if the audio interface behringer model UCA202 works nice on Ubuntu?
[00:51] <korisnik____> i did it my self just seconds before you asked
[00:51] <edbian> KindOne, use windows if you wanna be root all the time
[00:51] <KindOne> ....
[00:51] <edbian> Cheeto, :)
[00:51] <Ianr> edbian, what I try to move/copy it says "Input/output error"
[00:51] <edbian> KindOne, You said you were annoyed with the root password?
[00:52] <korisnik____> strange, im looking into update page, didnt gave that option...
[00:52] <edbian> Ianr, Then you're doing it wrong?  sudo cp /etc/resolve.conf.tmp /etc/resolv.conf
[00:52] <gilaniali> I am running ubuntu on a VPS. Can I make an account that is space limited, i.e the user cant store more than X gb of data on it?
[00:52] <Ianr> edbian, i'm already root
[00:52] <edbian> Ianr, then do that same command without sudo.  What error does it give?
[00:52] <KindOne> edbian: if i open " Ubuntu Software Center " it wants the password, I want to disable the password asking thing entirely...
[00:53] <Ianr> edbian, same error "Input/output error"
[00:53] <edbian> KindOne, The only way I know of to never enter a password is to be root all the time.  Being root all the time is a ridiculous security risk.  It is the same methodology of windows xp.
[00:53] <sakekasi> how do I turn on multitouch in ubuntu desktop 10.10?
[00:53] <smmy> can anyone tell me what this means when trying to add a key and how to fix it please? "gpg: no writable keyring found: eof"
[00:53] <scott_ino> KindOne, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-password-prompts-in-ubuntu.html maybe??
[00:53] <Ianr> edbian, maybe my USB is corrupt, this is live mode (persist)
[00:54] <korisnik____> my mistake, it does say on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades to switch to normal.
[00:54] <edbian> Ianr, It sounds that way to me.
[00:54] <seyfarth> Uhh don't laugh, but are there solutions to the default Gbrainy puzzles anywhere?
[00:54] <scott_ino> sakekasi, you can't yet,I think most of the multi-touch support is for devs though you can get  two finger scrolling easily
[00:54] <blakkheim> lol
[00:54] <realubot> Does anyone have a clue how to store a password for user ubuntu using a persistent Ubuntu Live USB? The password will be lost each time I shutdown the computer so that the ubuntu user still will work without wntering the password. I want even the user ubuntu to enter a password executing sudo command.
[00:54] <smmy> !lol | blakkheim
[00:55] <blakkheim> smmy: don't think saying it once is "on a regular basis"
[00:55] <Jordan_U> realubot: How big is the USB drive? You may just want to do a regular install.
[00:55] <test34> Scunizi, ok thanks, I followed instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades and upgrade is on the way
[00:55] <bhsher_> Hello all.  Can anyone help a "newbie" with a printer problem?
[00:55] <Ianr> edbian, i can't even ls -l resolv.conf to read the permissions.  Is it possible network manager left it open or has it open?
[00:55] <Ryen> !anyone | bhsher_
[00:55] <scott_ino> bhsher_, just ask
[00:56] <edbian> Ianr, That file doesn't get locked.  Additionally you can ls -l a locked file.  Something is wrong the the FS on the flash drive.
[00:56] <smmy> can anyone tell me what this means when trying to add a key and how to fix it please? "gpg: no writable keyring found: eof"
[00:56] <afallenhope> I'm having issues with my video driver running Lucid on amd64 ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200]
[00:56] <test34> Ryen, a question can also start with "Does anyone.." and be the real question
[00:56] <afallenhope> right now I'm using the open source driver, but for whatever the reason I can't use tty terminal or press "logout"
[00:56] <bhsher_> I have a Canon mx 860 that I need help getting to work with Ubuntu.  So far, it will not print.
[00:57] <LjL> test34: well that one wasn't

[00:58] <scott_ino> bhsher_, http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?25,9006,9786
[00:58] <scott_ino> might be of help
[00:58] <test34> Ryen & LjL, this bot "fact" is wrong that's all.. I'm not saying that his question was not his real question
[00:58] <meesebyte> my MSI wind u160's wireless card is havin problems... It won't connect to networks and after trying it suddenly is just "disabled" and when I manually switch the wifi on/off ubuntu freezes up and I have to reboot
[00:58] <KindOne> scott_ino: thanks that worked !
[00:58] <smmy> can anyone tell me what this means when trying to add a key and how to fix it please? "gpg: no writable keyring found: eof"
[00:58] <bhsher_> Thanks Scott.  I'll give it a shot.

[00:59] <Pinna> 'ello Dice-Man
[01:00] <Dice-Man> what ?
[01:00] <Dice-Man> hi Pinna
[01:00] <hDy> anyone know of a good webcam recording software for linux?
[01:00] <Dice-Man> cheese !
[01:01] <benh> hrm
[01:01] <realubot> Jordan_U: It's 4GB.
[01:01] <hDy> cheese didn't work so well for me, same with wxcam :/
[01:01] <benh> did the GUI upgrade tool suddently become dumber than an arse or did somebody at Canonical had a brain fart ? :-)
[01:01] <scott_ino> hDy, you can also try guvcview
[01:01] <test34> hDy, do you need motion detection ? e.g.: starts recording when it detects motion
[01:01] <korisnik____> im doing the normal update now, but i have a feeling that i would download less if had gone with alternative? is my feeling right? coz im dowlnoading 900mb
[01:01] <virtu> hi, I am back again... anyone knows if the audio interface behringer model UCA202 works nice on Ubuntu?
[01:01] <benh> seriously ... doing an upgrae used to keep your sources and just rewrite them to change the distro name
[01:01] <hDy> test34, nah just youtube video stuff
[01:01] <realubot> Jordan_U: And I will be able to use it on more than one computer so maybe I need to use the Live version then?
[01:02] <benh> but the maverick one just removes everything and points you to the canonical servers unconditionally
[01:02] <benh> so gone the local mirrors, proxies etc...
[01:02] <benh> grmbl
[01:02] <Jordan_U> realubot: You can use a normal install on more than one computer as well.
[01:02] <test34> hdy, if cheese doesnt work there might be a problem with your webcam driver
[01:02] <meesebyte> my MSI wind u160's wireless card is havin problems... It won't connect to networks and after trying it suddenly is just "disabled" and when I manually switch the wifi on/off ubuntu freezes up and I have to reboot
[01:02] <hDy> test34, the video output is fine.. just the audio/video sync is horrible
[01:02] <hDy> eeer wait cheese doesn't do audio lol
[01:03] <hDy> wxcam had bad audio/video sync
[01:03] <realubot> Jordan_U: Ok, I thought a normal installation somehow identified the computer architecture and installed (compiled) Ubuntu in a specific way or something.
[01:04] <realubot> Jordan_U: But will it fit on a 4GB flash drive? I know it will work using a 8GB drive, but 4GB?
[01:04] <realubot> Jordan_U: I don't need any storage at all, just a comple of MB.
[01:04] <realubot> *couple
[01:04] <Jordan_U> realubot: Yes, the minimum requirement is 2.6 GIG
[01:05] <realubot> Jordan_U: ok, that sounds very nice and you are sure it will work as a Ubuntu Live booting from USB?
[01:05] <sakekasi> wait so is there no way to enable multitouch? I have a multitouch touchpad
[01:05] <test34> hDy, not really sure what the problem is, but it could possibly be your computer/CPU is too slow
[01:05] <realubot> Jordan_U: Even if I use it on a computer different that that I used to create the install?
[01:06] <Jordan_U> realubot: Yes.
[01:06] <realubot> Jordan_U: Ok, thank you very much. Then I will do a comlete installation instead of using the Live session. Thanks once again.
[01:06] <Jordan_U> realubot: If you install any proprietary drivers then that will no longer be true though.
[01:06] <Jordan_U> realubot: You're welcome.
[01:07] <realubot> Jordan_U: Yes, I understand that, but I'll just install the default Ubuntu system, no other software.
[01:07] <dugger5688> realubot: Keep in mind that not all computers can boot from USB.
[01:07] <Monika> I have just upgraded to Kubuntu 10.10 with Thunderbird 3.1. When I now click links, they open in Konqueror instead of Firefox, even though I have set Firefox as the default browser in the system settings and set the http and https handlers in Thunderbird's about:config to /usr/bin/firefox. Any thoughts?
[01:08] <realubot> dugger5688: Yes, I know. But the computers I'am going to use the flash drive are able to boot from USB. Thanks for warning me anyway.
[01:08] <sakekasi> I just got the following error from firefox while trying to download a fileThe file could not be saved because you do not have the proper permissions.  Choose another save directory.

[01:10] <sakekasi> but it also says that there ar rw perms for everyone
[01:10] <realubot> sakekasi: Yes, maybe it is.
[01:10] <ninjabox> no, I'm saying those are the two modules you need to see which one works for your card
[01:10] <ninjabox> Guest72475: lspci | grep Network will show you what card you have
[01:10] <Guest72475> ninjabox, thanks
[01:10] <realubot> sakekasi: Check who owns the directory by: ls -l /media/directory...

[01:14] <mtk31> can anyone help me with my screen resolution?
[01:14] <realubot> sakekasi: You have to change download driectory OR change the owner of the download directory.
[01:14] <Scunizi> sakekasi: is this a secondary drive or a usb drive?
[01:14] <flowbee> is there a way with wget to AVOID a certain URL?  like a logout url?  link i want to avoid wget getting is "http://subdomain.domain.com/logout?destination=node%2F96"

[01:14] <blakkheim> sakekasi: man chown;man chmod
[01:15] <realubot> sakekasi: Try change the owner by: sudo chown sakekasi:sakekasi /path/to/your/download/directory
[01:15] <Soraya> any suggestions ?
[01:15] <KindOne> scott_ino: did not work...
[01:15] <Scunizi> sakekasi: do you mount it manually? or does it mount automatically on boot? if it's on boot then check the permissions in the mount line in /etc/fstab
[01:15] <realubot> sakekasi: The you will change the owner AND the group sakekasi.
[01:15] <sakekasi> Scunizi it mounts automattically
[01:16] <Scunizi> sakekasi: then check /etc/fstab
[01:16] <sakekasi> Scunizi how do I change the owner in fstab?
[01:16] <billybigrigger> adwdad: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569941
[01:16] <realubot> Soraya: Maybe you have shut down the wireless using a switch at your laptop?
[01:16] <billybigrigger> adwdad: the answer, (and exact problem) is in that post
[01:16] <Scunizi> sakekasi: you can also change the owner by .. sudo chown <your user name>:<your user name> /media/<mount point>
[01:17] <adwdad> billybigrigger:  i found that aswell but i don't know how to do the things it says
[01:17] <sakekasi> Scunizi here's the line in fstab: /dev/sda7   /media/Files   ntfs   defaults   0   0 what should I change?
[01:17] <realubot> Soraya: Some people have shut down wifi by misstake and have to turn it on manually.
[01:17] <Soraya> i need to enable it
[01:17] <Scunizi> sakekasi: ah.. a ntfs partition.. that I don't know.. typically adding rw in the right spot of the line.. I'll have ubottu send a link on mount
[01:17] <mtk31> can anyone help me with my screen resolution?
[01:18] <Scunizi> !mount | sakekasi
[01:18] <Soraya> how can i do this ?

[01:18] <ROPEN> hi
[01:18] <Soraya> realubot: how i enable my wireless
[01:19] <realubot> sakekasi: Maybe this option in fstab will do any good: "user - Permit any user to mount the filesystem. This automatically implies noexec, nosuid,nodev unless overridden."
[01:19] <dan__> Is anyone else getting updates failing on fresh install of 10.10? I have failed on line "run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/nvidia-common 2.6.35-22-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic". I am running a Toshiba Satellite Pro M200 with intel onboard graphics
[01:19] <damien_c> when i plug it in it still plays on my speakers...not very useful :P
[01:19] <adwdad> billybigrigger:  how do i "give the hard drive the MS-DOS partition table and formatting it to NTFS" Will this delete my data?
[01:19] <realubot> sakekasi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[01:19] <ROPEN> hi
[01:19] <ROPEN> eny one her
[01:19] <billybigrigger> adwdad: yes you will most definitely loose your data...but if you can't mount it, there shouldn't be any data on it? correct?
[01:20] <FreshPrince> ROPEN, a lot as u can see

[01:22] <korisnik____> adwdad: backup data on it, and reformat with suggested settings on that page
[01:22] <mtk31> ubottu I know about it, but I dont know how to change on my netbook using ubuntu 10.10
[01:23] <adwdad> billybigrigger: i don't have anywhere to put it, is there anyway to do it without losing my data?
[01:23] <realubot> Soraya: Well, I think you may have problems with the wifi driver, BUT first you may try to switch the wifi on/off or off/on manually by using the switch that is located somewhere at your laptop chassis.
[01:23] <geckopunk> Okay, I'm still having issues with my Screenlets...

[01:25] <nkey> mtk use the ubuntu netbook edition
[01:25] <realubot> Soraya: Here are the solution I think: "Easy fix. Connect to your network with an Ethernet cable. Let Ubuntu download and process the pending updates. Reboot. Then go to System - Administration - Hardware Drivers and let it search. It will Show "Broadcom B43 wireless driver". Activate it. "
[01:25] <mtk31> the highest is 1024*600 I want 1024*768

[01:26] <Ryen> mtk31: You cannot create a larger resolution. Your "monitor" or screen will only allow you what it says.

[01:27] <mtk31> ryen I know it but in windows I can do it with atray soft
[01:27] <Soraya> yes

[01:45] <Yusuke> how to run AutoCAD in Ubuntu 10.10
[01:45] <MarkTimTach> Hello I really need help
[01:45] <MichaelBehan> Good evening :)
[01:45] <octavio-rdz> Yusuke: have you tried with wine?
[01:45] <Scunizi> Yusuke: there's lots of CAD programs available .. some quite complete .. AutoCAD may never run in linux
[01:45] <MarkTimTach> can I talk to an admin
[01:46] <MichaelBehan> I am installing Ubuntu inside windows from a USB key, and it seems that even though I downloaded the i386 ISO - it is installing a 64bit OS. Is this normal?
[01:46] <Scunizi> !ask | MarkTimTach
[01:46] <MichaelBehan> My arc his intel i5 64, but I want to install the 32bit OS.
[01:46] <quant> MichaelBehan, no
[01:46] <MichaelBehan> arch
[01:46] <MichaelBehan> Hmm
[01:46] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: you can do that with no problem
[01:47] <MichaelBehan> Mainly because the RSA and Cisco software I need to use does not work in wine on a 64bit platform
[01:47] <alberto> Can anybody help me with PulseAudio Jack module?
[01:47] <MarkTimTach> I was installing Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and my screen went blank and then shut off and now I can not boot it up it is just a blank screen i can't even recover it
[01:47] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: if your machine is 64 bit you have the option of 64 or 32 bit OS.. if your machine was only 32 bit then you *would not* be able to run a 64 bit
[01:47] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, I don't recall that option. Is it offered when installing inside windows?
[01:47] <MichaelBehan> I'm about to try kubuntu
[01:47] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: try Ctrl+Alt+F2 and see if that dumps you to a command prompt
[01:48] <jags> MarkTimTach, same thing happened to me, I just wiped the disk and reinstalled lucid
[01:48] <MarkTimTach> no it don't
[01:48] <alberto> Can anybody help me with PulseAudio Jack module?
[01:48] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: ah .. are you using Wubi? to install inside of windows? .. personally I wouldn't.. install Virtualbox in windows and then Ubuntu in that
[01:48] <MichaelBehan> Yes
[01:48] <MarkTimTach> I tryed that
[01:48] <MichaelBehan> Looking up virtualbox
[01:49] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: virtualbox.org
[01:49] <MichaelBehan> thanks :)
[01:49] <MichaelBehan> I would think the performance would be less with that?
[01:49] <MarkTimTach> when I press any button on the keboard it just makes a really loud beep
[01:49] <MichaelBehan> MarkTimTach, Sounds like your system is locked up

[01:51] <MichaelBehan> er sorry
[01:51] <Quintin> peeps[work]: backup in what sense ?
[01:51] <MichaelBehan> I meant Scunizi
[01:51] <MichaelBehan> peeps[work], dd if=/dev/sda of=/myEntireDrive.image
[01:51] <MichaelBehan> ^^ example only
[01:51] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: it allows you to create virtual machines inside of different OS's
[01:52] <peeps[work]> Quincy, backup so that i could restore my hard drive completely, since I plan on trying something crazy with it
[01:52] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, Pretty neat.. looks better than vmware
[01:52] <MarkTimTach> I cant even install windows now every thing is black what do I do
[01:52] <MichaelBehan> but still that seems like a big performance hit. I'm trying to get away from windows. I just can't partition this machine because it's a work pc
[01:52] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: yea.. I used Vmware for several years.. vbox is cleaner, lighter and easier.
[01:53] <ilovefairuz> !info duplicity | peeps[work]
[01:53] <MichaelBehan> So I'm kind of forced to use wubi and install inside windows
[01:53] <scott_ino> +1 for virtualbox ;) just my two cents
[01:53] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: no. use vbox..
[01:53] <Quintin> peeps[work]: yea, dd would work.  use a boot disk and dd one drive to another ... like... dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb .  or use ghost.  or the linux ghost clone
[01:53] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, ?
[01:53] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, Again it seems like running a vm inside windows would be a big performance hit
[01:53] <peeps[work]> hmm, i don't have a spare drive on this laptop, i guess i could dd to a file on a network share
[01:54] <MichaelBehan> And it would be defeating the purpose of trying to get away from windows UI
[01:54] <blakkheim> MichaelBehan: wubi is also a performance hit
[01:54] <rhcp1253> Ah, need help
[01:54] <Quintin> peeps[work]: sure, though that's gonna be slower.  I'd connect a drive with a usb adapter
[01:54] <MichaelBehan> This is a solidstate drive. I'm not as concerned with drive performance hits
[01:54] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: wubi is kinda like a dual boot but will interfere with windows normal boot loader.. if you can't dual boot with a work machine then don't use wubi..  there really isn't much of a performance hit these days..
[01:54] <rui> hello everybody
[01:54] <eross> helloooooo
[01:54] <blakkheim> MichaelBehan: why can't you do a real install?
[01:54] <peeps[work]> Quintin, i gotta work with what I've got, no usb adapter
[01:55] <MichaelBehan> blakkheim, It's a work laptop and that would make people angry
[01:55] <MichaelBehan> If they found out
[01:55] <billybigrigger> peeps[work]: depending on your network, dd over the network shouldn't be too bad
[01:55] <MichaelBehan> I work for Disney, so...
[01:55] <blakkheim> MichaelBehan: then maybe you shouldn't be installing linux at all on their computers
[01:55] <peeps[work]> i doubt my hard drive throughput can saturate gigabit LAN anyways
[01:55] <eross> heh mickey mouse
[01:55] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: you can ctrl+f for full screen in vbox .. it'll totally cover the windows ui
[01:55] <billybigrigger> peeps[work]: it can
[01:55] <billybigrigger> peeps[work]: what kind of hard drive? rpms?
[01:56] <MichaelBehan> blakkheim, I'm in a department with a little more freedom
[01:56] <MichaelBehan> I don't think it will be an issue as long as I don't partition the drive.
[01:56] <MichaelBehan> but this is digressing a lot.
[01:57] <rui> please who can helpe me i have ubuntu gnome 10.10 maverick meerkater and every time i try to send my video image to someone its crash and close the skype. Is there anyone to help me
[01:57] <blakkheim> MichaelBehan: do a real install but encrypt the partition, then when you have to return it you can get rid of it and regrow the ntfs partition
[01:57] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: wubi will change the boot loader to Grub
[01:57] <MichaelBehan> Scunizi, That's fine
[01:57] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: live usb boot ? :D
[01:57] <MichaelBehan> yep that's an option.
[01:58] <billybigrigger> peeps[work]: either way, dd will use ssh to transfer data, which is the bottleneck i'd be worried about, but still, unless you have a TB or higher drive, it's nothing a bag of popcorn can't handle...
[01:58] <billybigrigger> if it's your only option, it's your only option :P
[01:58] <MichaelBehan> thank you for your help :)
[01:58] <jags> MichaelBehan, just get a cheap sata drive off newegg and swap out the work hd until you need to give it back
[01:58] <MichaelBehan> lol
[01:58] <Scunizi> MichaelBehan: linux boot at home .. ssh in from work and run the desktop
[01:58] <MichaelBehan> This is a sold state machine. Not sure what the connections are like
[01:58] <blakkheim> it's the same SATA connection..
[01:58] <MichaelBehan> Oh cool
[01:59] <MarkTimTach> can someone please help I can not do anything with my pc I was trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 and my screen went black and then it shut off and I could not do anything I cant even go back to windows or install ubuntu 10.04 or anything what do I do
[01:59] <peeps[work]> it's only 64GB drive
[01:59] <blakkheim> MarkTimTach: boot from a live cd and start over
[01:59] <MarkTimTach> I cant I have already tried that nothing works
[02:00] <MichaelBehan> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148443&cm_re=sata_laptop-_-22-148-443-_-Product
[02:00] <rui> please who can helpe me i have ubuntu gnome 10.10 maverick meerkater and every time i try to send my video image to someone its crash and close the skype. Is there anyone to help me
[02:00] <MichaelBehan> that seems so cheap it's scarey
[02:00] <blakkheim> MarkTimTach: maybe a bit more detail than "it doesnt work"
[02:00] <Ken8521> rui: 32 or 64bit?
[02:00] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: sounds like you might have had a cooincendental hardware failure
[02:00] <peeps[work]> in an ubuntu install, is there an option to keep existing home data if it's not on a different partition?
[02:00] <rui> Ken8521:32
[02:00] <bluedoor_> Why am I unable to log into my DSL router's network? 192.168.1.254 should be the address for my router. I have done this before from my exact computer, but now I am having trouble. Any ideas?
[02:01] <MichaelBehan> thanks all! :)
[02:01] <Ken8521> peeps[work]: not to my knowledge.. easiest thing to do, is back your /home up to an external drive.. most /home configs are only around 2-3gigs tops(w/o any personal files) so you might have a thumb drive big enough to back it up
[02:01] <alberto> Can anybody help me with PulseAudio Jack module?
[02:01] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: perhaps using https://<ip> instead of http://<ip>?
[02:01] <nerdy_kid> alberto I had it running
[02:02] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, i'll try, brb
[02:02] <Ken8521> alberto: what exact problem are you having?
[02:02] <scott_ino> peeps[work], that's why people used to put /home on a separate partition and re-mount it whne they upgrade, but since you can do a rolling upgrade now most don't do it
[02:02] <MarkTimTach> ok I was installing Ubuntu 10.10 and my computer screen went black on me and then shut off so I turned it back on I put Ubuntu 10.04 in the cd drive and nothing happened then I tried to go back to windows thinking maybe that would help but nothing happed there eather so know if you press a button on the keyboard it makes a load beeping sound and then my computer shuts off again
[02:04] <peeps[work]> scott_ino, yeah i used to do it, but for some reason i chose not to this time.  i figured i never really needed it... until now
[02:04] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, that didn't make a difference
[02:04] <scott_ino> peeps[work], why can't you simply upgrade, what are you changing?
[02:04] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: you using chromium or FF
[02:04] <MarkTimTach> is there a tech support number I can call I live in the U.S.A
[02:04] <nerdy_kid> alberto if i remember correctly you install the pulseaudio-module-jack and then all you have to do is run a script once you start jack
[02:04] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: thats strange... so it won't boot any at all?
[02:04] <rui> Ken8521: Can you helpeme
[02:04] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, i've tried w/ both
[02:05] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: this sounds hardware related, not software related, if it won't do anything
[02:05] <peeps[work]> scott_ino, changing from 32bit to 64bit
[02:05] <MarkTimTach> no it wont boot anything
[02:05] <scott_ino> peeps[work], ahhh that'll do it
[02:05] <Ken8521> rui: sorry, no i cannot... maybe try seeking support from skype.
[02:05] <keith2> could someone tell me the command to upgrade to 10.10 from terminal
[02:05] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: make/model of the machine?
[02:05] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: that's an unusual address.. typically they are 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 for the router.. try the first suggestion
[02:05] <MarkTimTach> I was running ubuntu 10.04 and then i wanted to upgrade it
[02:05] <nerdy_kid> alberto the script: http://pastebin.com/vRFppMwP
[02:05] <rui> Ken8521:ok thank you
[02:05] <Ken8521> rui: because this is really more of an application issue, than an ubuntu issue..
[02:06] <MarkTimTach> it is a Compaq cq60
[02:06] <rui> Ken8521:ok thank you
[02:06] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, neither worked
[02:06] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: what is the address of the machine you're trying from?
[02:06] <FreshPrince> keith2, "sudo apt-get dist-updgrade"
[02:06] <FreshPrince> sry
[02:06] <FreshPrince> keith2, "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[02:06] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, local address?
[02:06] <keith2> thanks
[02:06] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: any chance it's hot, and it's not booting due to heat? let it sit and cool for a while, etc?
[02:06] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: yes
[02:06] <Some_Person> I'm installing ubuntu using the alternate text-based installer, and I need to know if I should select yes or no to this prompt: "[?] Configuring checkbox: Default enabled state. Default Enabled"
[02:06] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, inet addr:192.168.1.74
[02:07] <MarkTimTach> nope it is cool and I had just turned it on
[02:07] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: is that DHCP or static.. did you set it?
[02:07] <RealOpty> when i try to upgrade to 10.10 i get this error "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages."
[02:07] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, I'm not sure, i don't remember, how can i tell?
[02:07] <aphid> so.. i installed 10.10 via updated on my netbook.  now it boots up, pops up the authentication dialogue.  after I log in I get a pretty abstract desktop and a mouse cursor but no UI or menus
[02:07] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: that really sounds like a hardware issue to me...
[02:08] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: if you don't know then it's most likely DHCP.. you'd know if you set a static address... do you have a windows machine to test the router with?
[02:08] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, no i don't, just mac and android
[02:08] <Ken8521> can't you log in to the router?  most of the time it's in the router settings whether you're using DHCP or static
[02:08] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, I could try my roommate's comp, i guess
[02:09] <MarkTimTach> is there anything that conanical can do?
[02:09] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: does it work on the android?
[02:09] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: what would canonical have to do w/ a hardware problem?
[02:09] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: honestly, i think it was just crappy luck it happened during an upgrade...
[02:09] <MarkTimTach> well after all I was running Ubuntu when it happened
[02:09] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: to my knowledge, canonical only has paid support.. but the days of Linux ruining hardware are long since past us...
[02:10] <recmajkemi> can you guys tell me where could i find any system monitor that is diplayed on desktop
[02:10] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: if you're running windows, and it shuts down, and will nto boot at all, and you hit the keys, and it just beeps, and you call Microsoft, what are they going to tell you?
[02:10] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: that's like saying "I was in the white house when the astroid hit me.. the President is responsible"
[02:10] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, those don't work from android
[02:11] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: i sympathize w/ your problem.. but you really need to contact Compaq from the sounds of it.. but from the looks of that laptop, i'm guessing it's out of warranty
[02:11] <MarkTimTach> I was not running windows I was running Ubuntu and I never had this problem with windows but then all of a sudden it happens in Ubuntu
[02:11] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: try your roommates win machine.. It might be that the firmware in the modem expects IE or direct X for some ungodly reason.
[02:11] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: i was making an analogy.. you apparently missed it.
[02:11] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, I've logged into the router from this machine, I haven't made changes to this machine either
[02:11] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: regardless, id on't see why you think this is ubuntus fault... if you're driving a car, and you crash, is it the dealers fault?
[02:11] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: have you checked your cabling? monitor etc..
[02:12] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, i'll try WIN
[02:12] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: sounds like the address is changed
[02:12] <MarkTimTach> yes I have
[02:12] <Ken8521> Scunizi: it's a laptop, so i assume he's using the laptop screen
[02:12] <MarkTimTach> I am running Ubuntu on my desktop and nothing has ever happened
[02:12] <Scunizi> Ken8521: which guy are you responding about.. I've been talking to a couple of people.
[02:13] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: your desktop has likely never had a hardware failure...
[02:13] <Ken8521> Scunizi: MarkTimTach
[02:13] <taomaster> hello i 'm having issue with  the linksys usb network adapter wusb600n. did not have this issue with ubuntu 9.04
[02:13] <MarkTimTach> nope
[02:13] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: everything you're describing, strongly suggests hardware failure.
[02:13] <Scunizi> Ken8521: ah.. ok.. didn't catch that before.
[02:14] <recmajkemi> how can i make windows title bar to be as one with tray when maximized
[02:14] <recmajkemi> in desktop edition
[02:14] <MarkTimTach> never mind I got it \
[02:14] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: Ken8521 maybe.. just maybe.. the Fn key and external monitor key
[02:14] <Ken8521> Scunizi: probably.. cuz he jus said he "got it".. which means it was something simple...
[02:14] <kpj_> Has anyone loaded driver for ubuntu using powerline connection?
[02:15] <Ken8521> kpj_: don't those typically hook up to a normal ethernet port?
[02:15] <Scunizi> Ken8521: or he "got" what we were telling him about hardware failure.
[02:15] <alberto> nerdy_kid Sorry
[02:15] <Ken8521> that coudl be to.. ;)
[02:15] <alberto> nerdy_kid I wasn't here
[02:15] <alberto> nerdy_kid Than you very much for everything.
[02:15] <MarkTimTach> it is the monitor that went bad I just plugged a cord into my laptop and connected the other end to my tv and now I can see stuff
[02:15] <Ken8521> MarkTimTach: ok.
[02:15] <nerdy_kid> alberto no prob.  Hope it helps, if you need more info I do have a link somewhere that i used, but i have to dig it up.
[02:15] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: AH HA.. that's a tough one.. sorry that happened.
[02:15] <MarkTimTach> thanks for your time
[02:15] <kpj_> Ken8582 - It is a port which transmits over the power lines in the house - so a driver is needed
[02:16] <alberto> nerdy_kid Have you got it running on Ubuntu 10.10?
[02:16] <MarkTimTach> where can you go to replace a monitor for the laptops
[02:16] <Ken8521> kpj_: isit a PCI card, or a USB card, or what?
[02:16] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: just remember that if you can't / don't want to fix the screen, you can always us the machine as a headless server :)
[02:16] <MarkTimTach> lol
[02:17] <Ken8521> kpj_: brb..
[02:17] <MarkTimTach> can I run windows software in ubuntu 10.10
[02:17] <kpj_> I have a standard ethernet card but it requires a separate driver to communicate throught the powerline device
[02:17] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: mostly screen replacements is more expensive than most machines.
[02:17] <wakeupsticky> the ubuntu .iso file is written up to the first 15 mb and then nti media maker freezes....:\
[02:17] <nerdy_kid> alberto no, that was in 10.04.  should be the same though
[02:17] <alberto> nerdy_kid I got some errors.
[02:18] <nerdy_kid> alberto ok well let me pull the link for you
[02:18] <Scunizi> MarkTimTach: some win software.. like what?
[02:18] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, nothing works from the WIN machine. I have a 2wire router, and the manual suggests the IP to be either http://gateway.2wire.net/ or http://192.168.1.254/  , is there a way of finding out what the address is?
[02:19] <jexmex> any program to play acc files from audable?
[02:19] <alberto> nerdy_kid Thank you very much, once more.
[02:19] <jexmex> err aax files
[02:19] <wakeupsticky> anyone know if there is a problem with the ubuntu .iso file or with nti mediamaker?
[02:19] <Guest6086> Can someone help me?....  whenever I restart my network manager ALWAYS forgets the networks key so I have to re-enter it every login
[02:19] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: you can use nmap to go through all the IP's on your lan and report what is connected .. from that list you should be able to tell. you'll have to google for nmap instructions though.. I'm not well versed in it.  Some here might be able to direct you though.
[02:20] <nerdy_kid> alberto no problem :)  here is the link, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012.  the post is huge so im gonna pastebin the important part
[02:20] <bluedoor_> Scunizi, thank you
[02:20] <Scunizi> bluedoor_: sure :)

[02:23] <chien> hola!
[02:23] <wakeupsticky> is there a ubuntu installation channel?
[02:23] <wakeupsticky> what is wubi.exe?
[02:23] <minimec> Guest6086: delete that connection once in the properties of the network-manager, and then connect again. It should save the password.
[02:24] <Guest6086> minimec: I have tried
[02:24] <minimec> Guest6086: That is strange...
[02:24] <Scunizi> wakeupsticky: if you boot the cd while windows is open then wubi allow for ubuntu install to happen in windows.. Personally I don't recommend it.. boot cold to a properly burned cd and dual boot or use virtualbox.org to create a vm of ubuntu
[02:25] <wakeupsticky> nti mediaplayer is ruining my cds
[02:25] <nerdy_kid> alberto I think that the error is saying "connection refused"?  in that case is jackd running?  i was using qjackctl to control jack btw.
[02:25] <Iszak> I recently completely remove google chrome in attempts to correct a problem which prevented it from loading profiles however as a side effect it no longer shows up in the repo only chromium.
[02:25] <Guest6086> minimec: is it possible there is a problem with my keyring? Anyway to reinstall it?
[02:25] <wakeupsticky> by writing 10% of ubuntu to them and then spitting out an error message
[02:25] <wakeupsticky> WTF
[02:25] <Iszak> Is there any way to get it back into the repo?
[02:25] <HaxXxoR> can anyone help me with a wireless problem

[02:26] <chien> hola tios se acabo la fiesta..?
[02:26] <alberto> nerdy_kid mmm, no, jackd isn't running actually
[02:26] <alberto> nerdy_kid Is qjackctl better?
[02:26] <Ken8521> kpj_: i don't really understand how a PCI card, requires a separate driver to communicate over a power line.
[02:26] <nerdy_kid> alberto qjackctl is a REALLY handy control app for jackd
[02:26] <Ken8521> kpj_: does this ethernet card, have cat5/6 cable connected to it?
[02:27] <minimec> Guest6086: Do you have a password for the keyring? You could set the keyring to run without password, or delete the entry for your network there too.
[02:27] <islandfellow> trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a laptop with trial version of windows 7 and it hangs every time at the ubuntu logo, any ideas why?
[02:27] <xananax_> Hello; I have issues with my wireless and I am completely new to ubuntu. How would I go about understanding where the problem is?
[02:27] <xananax_> I used ndiswrapper and it tells me everything went fine, but I still cant connect
[02:27] <Ken8521> xananax_: well first what type of wireless device are you using, and what chipset?
[02:27] <alberto> nerdy_kid Oh, I see, that's the one I'm using.
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> islandfellow:  whats your video chipset? Tried teh Nomodeset option? You could alwo try the alternative installer cd.
[02:28] <alberto> nerdy_kid The graphical user interface
[02:28] <DavyCave> ubuntu 10.04 support multi-monitor SLI?
[02:28] <Guest6086> minimec: It doesnt ask me for the password at startup anymore for some reason so it could be that
[02:28] <taomaster> i'm having issues with linksys wireless adapter wusb600n
[02:28] <xananax_> ken8521: I am using an old compaq presario c500; I tried to google it but apparently it's not even on hp's website anymore, so I dunnow what the chipset is
[02:28] <kpj_> ken8521 - It is most likely me, I installed the powerline where my windows system required to load a driver for the ethernet to be able to communicate with the powerline adapter
[02:29] <kpj_> I had assumed that I should do something similar for Ubuntu machine
[02:29] <xananax_> But following the advice in a thread, I loaded up bcmlw5 with ndiswrapper, that I built from source
[02:29] <Ken8521> xananax_: is it an internal wireless device on the machine, or a USB, etc?
[02:29] <xananax_> ken8521: internal
[02:29] <Ken8521> xananax_: ok, so it's a broadcom.. do you know which one?
[02:29] <DavyCave> anyone know the Nvidia / Ubuntu channel?
[02:29] <nerdy_kid> alberto yeah
[02:29] <chien> ddr3...ou 4
[02:29] <Ken8521> xananax_: open a terminal and type "lspci"(no quotes, lower case L) and hit enter, and look through the output, and find yoru wireless device
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> DavyCave:  not sure there is one. You could check the forums.
[02:29] <tonyyarusso> DavyCave: there isn't an nvidia-specific one
[02:29] <HaxXxoR> can anyone help me with a wireless problem
[02:30] <xananax_> ken8521: Yeah according to the thread it is broadcom, but I dunnow how to get more info...How would I go about knowing which one?
[02:30] <DavyCave> im trying to find information on if 10.04 supports multi-monitor SLI mode?
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> DavyCave:  i dont use sli. but multi monitors work good here with my nvidia systems
[02:30] <Ken8521> xananax_: see the info i just sent you
[02:30] <Ken8521> DavyCave: same here..
[02:30] <minimec> Guest6086: I am not a guru when it comes to the keyring. I run it in 'unsave mode' whitout password. So I don't have the keyring questions. It could be that you allowed the keyring to always allow access to the network.
[02:30] <DavyCave> Dr_Willis: yea i use multi monitor now, but i saw nvidia finally enabled multi with SLI so i want it lol
[02:30] <amikrop> Hello. Since I installed the nVidia proprietary driver, my splash image disappeared. How can I fix that?
[02:31] <Guest6086> minimec: know anyone that might be able to assist me better?
[02:31] <nerdy_kid> amikrop by spash image you mean the nice "ubuntu" splash that pops up while the computer is booting?
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> DavyCave:  check the nvidia-settings tool i guess.. SLI with Multi Monitors. seems a bit of a contradiction.. but  I always found sli a thing.. that i never could justify. :)
[02:31] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: yes
[02:31] <islandfellow> @dr_willis not sure of the  chipset, where would I find the alternative installer cd?
[02:32] <Ken8521> !alternate > islandfellow
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> islandfellow:  its at the download sites. YOu could try the Nomode set option also. at the grub menys, you hit the space key, then F6, for other options, enable  the nomode set. then boot.
[02:32] <xananax_> ken8521: sorry sorry I was too busy typing the line passed me by...So as far as i can tell, it tells me it is Broadcom BCM4311
[02:32] <HaxXxoR> Can anyone help me with a wireless issue on netbook edition
[02:32] <DavyCave> Dr_Willis: well i run 2 World of Warcraft's at the same time so if i cant get SLI turned on then my frames will increase cause ill be running 2 windows in 1 desktop vs. 2 games on 2 cards on 2 desktops
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> islandfellow:  for my Nvidia systems I have to use that - or else the systems hang.
[02:32] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: so, any ideas?
[02:32] <nerdy_kid> amikrop yeah I think i might have a link for you one sec, gotta dig it up
[02:33] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: sure
[02:33] <xananax_> ken8521: so I try to locate the drivers for that serie, download those and try again?
[02:33] <minimec> Guest6086: You can try to configure the keyring ->system->preferences->Passwords...
[02:33] <Ken8521> xananax_: PM?
[02:34] <aphid> after I authenticate on 10.10 I get an abstract desktop background with no menu or UI.  i can cntrl-alt-f1 ok, and bring up the shutdown/restart options by hitting my power button.. but that's it
[02:34] <pi3ch> any one ported GNOME Do for windows?
[02:34] <xananax_> ken8521: I mean since the output of lspci tells me BMC4311, I try to download the windoz drivers for that adapter and try with ndis again?
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> pi3ch:  there are similer programs for windows.
[02:34] <islandfellow> thank you @ubottu @ Dr_Willis will try right away
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> pi3ch:  i dont use any of them.
[02:35] <Ken8521> xananax_: no, there's a native way to do it.. first, uninstall ndiswrapper
[02:35] <wakeupsticky> is there an ubuntu installation channel?
[02:35] <pi3ch> I tried Launchy and SlikRun
[02:35] <pi3ch> but GNOME Do is way better
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> pi3ch:  been using Kupfer on ubuntu lately.
[02:36] <pi3ch> btw I m not windows user I just got windows in office so I would like to have Gnome do on it.
[02:36] <pi3ch> Kupfer?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> !info kupfer
[02:37] <xananax_> ken8521: I removed ndis-utils and ndis-common and ndisgtk using synaptic...But I don know if I should do anything more since I built ndiswrapper from source and it was the first time I tried something like that
[02:37] <wakeupsticky> is there an ubuntu installation channel?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  not that ive ever seen.
[02:37] <pi3ch> yeah any better than GNOME Do?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> pi3ch:  try it and decide for yourself. Gnome-do hasent been gettting alot of updates  from what i hear..
[02:38] <Ken8521> xananax_: ok.. is the machine connected to the internet right now
[02:38] <nerdy_kid> amikrop having trouble finding this link sorry, my bookmarks all seem to have vanished...
[02:38] <wakeupsticky> does anyone on here know anything about getting ubuntu on a windows machine?
[02:38] <twinkie_addict> how do i set apt to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.4 in the cli
[02:38] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: hmm, ok...
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  burn the cd.. boot cd.. follow directions...
[02:38] <DavyCave> should i load my Asus M2n-SLI Deluxe chipset drivers from the Asus website or just use what ubuntu likes?
[02:38] <xananax_> ken8521: yeah I am typing from it, ethernet connection
[02:38] <nerdy_kid> amikrop still looking though
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  unless you want to be more clear on the problem
[02:39] <wakeupsticky> burn cd: error error error error
[02:39] <wakeupsticky> impossible
[02:39] <Ken8521> xananax_: in a terminal sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[02:39] <Ken8521> after that, restart
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:   check the is0/msd5 or make a bootable flash drive.
[02:39] <Chaos2358> hi is there a multi account chat/im client similar to empathy but with voice and cam chat
[02:39] <amikrop> nerdy_kid: alright :)

[02:39] <Gnea> Hey everyone, my WUBI isn't doing so good anymore... it was working just fine until it hardlocked 3 times in a row today, then proceeded to drop to the grub> interface at boottime. Booting to winXP told me that \ubuntu\disks\ was corrupted, so I ran chkdsk /r, did the reboot thing, watched it fix a bunch of errors on the c:\ drive, and upon reboot, the \ubuntu\disks\ directory is now *gone*. I have no idea what to do at this point, I fe
[02:40] <wakeupsticky> any way to undo burning a cd? nti mediamaker screwed up all my cd-rws
[02:40] <wakeupsticky> by burning part of ubuntu and then giving me an error message
[02:41] <Jordan_U> Gnea: Your message was cut off at "no idea what to do at this point, I fe".
[02:41] <Gnea> Jordan_U: ah, thanks
[02:41] <Gnea> I have no idea what to do at this point, I fear I have lost an entire OS and many important documents for school...
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  if they are 'rewriteables' you can erase them. You may want to check out some other cd buirning software for windows.
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[02:42] <wakeupsticky> how do i know if they're rewriteables? is the rw in cd-rw "rewriteable"?
[02:42] <wakeupsticky> ubottu, that's not helpful
[02:42] <scott_ino> wakeupsticky, yes
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  ubotu is a bot....
[02:42] <wakeupsticky> lol
[02:42] <DavyCave> LOL
[02:43] <scott_ino> good times in here
[02:43] <DavyCave> bot seams pretty smart to me
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  Look at the disk and label.. if they are not 'rewriteable' then they cant be 'undone'
[02:43] <DavyCave> at least it knows its a bot
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  theres always  the make a bootable flash drive option - if you dont have any more blank disks.
[02:43] <twinkie_addict> how do i set apt to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.4 in the cli ?
[02:43] <wakeupsticky> fuck, they are cd-4s
[02:44] <Jordan_U> Gnea: Is there any directory like "check#" in the root of your windows partition?
[02:44] <wakeupsticky> cd-rs
[02:44] <scott_ino> twinkie_addict, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:44] <IdleOne> !language | wakeupsticky
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> For burning ISO files in windows - i tend to use Infra Recorder,  Theres many other free iso burning tools ouyt for windows.
[02:44] <twinkie_addict> says no new upgrads
[02:44] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | twinkie_addict
[02:44] <stealth191> SERVER irc.dal.net
[02:44] <DavyCave> well that was annoying
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  you must burn the iso as an Image also.. if you burn it to cd.. then look at the cd.. and see a single .iso file.. you burnt it wrong.
[02:44] <Guest19673> twinkie_addict: i just had that same issue, one sec
[02:44] <Gnea> Jordan_U: no
[02:44] <scott_ino> twinkie_addict, because your software sources are set to only look for LTS releases, you'll need to change this
[02:45] <twinkie_addict> ok
[02:45] <nerdy_kid> amikrop here are some links.  you need to be able to RECOVER YOUR SYSTEM should it not boot after these hacks.  I.E. know how to use a terminal well.
[02:45] <twinkie_addict> thanks
[02:45] <nerdy_kid> amikrop the links http://www.sucka.net/2010/03/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/           http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469475
[02:46] <Guest19673> twinkie_addict: yeah, in settings, change under release upgrade to normal releases in update manager
[02:46] <wakeupsticky> ok, looks like i have one good cd left
[02:46] <twinkie_addict> figured it was somthing simple i even tryed do-release-upgrade

[02:46] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  check your md5sum of the iso file first.
[02:46] <Chaos2358> hi is there a multi account chat/im client similar to empathy but with voice and cam chat
[02:46] <nerdy_kid> amikrop I hope those help you, I have to go now
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  when you burn - set the program to burn at the lowest speed it can handle also.
[02:46] <Ken8521> HaxXxoR: what is your wireless device on the netbook?
[02:46] <Ken8521> it's probably a ralink
[02:46] <twinkie_addict> i dont have gui so i'll have to edit the file
[02:47] <Guest19673> twinkie_addict: ahh, nm then
[02:47] <wakeupsticky> recommended burning software? nti mediamaker is what i've been using but so far it hasn't been working
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  imgburn is also good for windows -->  i think it can even check the md5's   http://www.imgburn.com/
[02:47] <h00k> wakeupsticky: Brasero workswell for me
[02:47] <HaxXxoR> hang on 1 sec ken
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  theres plenty of burning tools fo rwidnows :) http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/dvdcdburning.shtml

[02:48] <cwraig> wakeupsticky: 1+ imgburn
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> wakeupsticky:  that reccomends some others.
[02:48] <twinkie_addict> so i edit apt.sourses ?
[02:48] <Jordan_U> Gnea: You could try using "photorec" to recover the wubi .disk file.
[02:48] <HaxXxoR> ok Ken dumb question whats the command in terminal to get system info
[02:48] <cwraig> imgburn is dvd decrypter without the dvd decrytping
[02:48] <Ken8521> HaxXxoR: lspci (lowercase L)
[02:49] <HaxXxoR> its just a intel pro wireless 2200bg
[02:49] <Guest19673> twinkie_addict: honestly not sure, i'll check mine, since i changed it in gui, i'll see if their is anyting usable
[02:49] <Ken8521> HaxXxoR: and that doesn't work out of the box?
[02:49] <Gnea> Jordan_U: was hoping to avoid that .... thanks
[02:49] <HaxXxoR> no i tried installing 10.10 and had to revert it back because of video issues
[02:50] <HaxXxoR> and now i cant connect to my wireless
[02:50] <HaxXxoR> i know the ssid is right and so is the passphrase
[02:50] <HaxXxoR> but it keeps showing up as a red exclamation point
[02:50] <Jordan_U> Gnea: Do you still see the "\ubuntu" directory?
[02:50] <twinkie_addict> thanks i looked at the help site but nut to about editng config file
[02:50] <wakeupsticky> doesn't it seem like useful, non-crippled free software for windows is almost guaranteed to have spyware on it?
[02:51] <KB1JWQ> !ot | wakeupsticky
[02:51] <HaxXxoR> wow just got it
[02:51] <wakeupsticky> sorry

[02:51] <twinkie_addict> sorry typing is bad pills are kicking they make me a little off for a bit after taking them
[02:51] <Ken8521> HaxXxoR: ok.
[02:52] <minimec> HaxXxoR: You will kill me... ;) Did you suspend or hibernate once? Zhat may deactivate the wireless. You may have to activate it with the hardware button or in the network-manager.
[02:52] <twinkie_addict> i hate presription meds

[03:16] <pjz> tazmania: it might depend on some settings in /etc/default/ somewhere
[03:16] <tazmania> ok
[03:16] <james296> does anyone here know if its possible to make dragging multiple files and/or folders better looking? for example, showing the actual folders and/or files as transparent items, instead of ugly dotted borders
[03:17] <Lynx_2> james296: install windows. ;-)
[03:17] <twinkie_addict> its amazing how usefull a text based browser is when you have no guui lol
[03:17] <james296> I meant in linux, not Windows...
[03:17] <brian_> lynx_2: i was going to try that if this becomes a prob. Can I reinstall with out wiping the system>
[03:17] <pjz> james296: check the System/Preferences/Appearance stuff
[03:18] <james296> that shows nothing about it
[03:18] <pjz> james296: I'm presuming you're using default ubuntu? so gnome?
[03:18] <Lynx_2> brian_: not to my knowledge, but if its running ok, i would just leave it, i was assuming u were doing a fresh install to begin with.
[03:18] <james296> yes
[03:18] <twinkie_addict> i have a habbit of installing one text based irc client and browser just in case x craps on me IF im running x
[03:18] <Lynx_2> some of these other guys might know if u can reupdate a bad update though
[03:19] <BeeBuu> how can i disable all usb devices but storage ?anyone help please.
[03:19] <tazmania> pjz: found the hostapd in /etc/default.  Do I need to add in anything in /etc/network/interfaces for wireless hostapd AP?
[03:19] <pjz> tazmania: no idea :)
[03:20] <tazmania> OK
[03:20] <aphid> after updating to 10.10 using the updater, I now get a blank desktop graphic after authenticating.  no ui, no menu, nothing...
[03:20] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: as noone has answered you question, i'll be unhelpful ;-) i don't think u can without doing a lot of scripting as the kernal is built to recognize the usb device on connection
[03:21] <BeeBuu> lynx_2:Oh....
[03:21] <pjz> BeeBuu: you maybe can; you'll need to look into how udevd works
[03:21] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: thats just the nature of usb devices bro... what are u trying to do exactly?
[03:21] <mrandrzejak1> ive been having problems with my system and panels after ctrl+alt+f5. ive got everything working again (i think) but is there any tests i can run on my system to see if all is OK?
[03:22] <twinkie_addict> woot 8 min left on dowload then thigs will start to install :)
[03:22] <Lynx_2> twinkie_addict: yeah its a b*tch, wait till the install
[03:22] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2:actualy,i want my PC just can use disk via USB
[03:22] <twinkie_addict> and ill stall have a cli base to buil up frome to my liking
[03:23] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: why do you want to disable everyting else, u'll lose keybourd and mouse unless ps2, i was thinking u were doing HTPC (home theatre pc) or something
[03:23] <tortoise7> does ubuntu 10.04 support backlit keyboards?
[03:23] <DavyCave> any OS should totoise
[03:23] <Lynx_2> i'm gonna say yeah
[03:24] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2: something like that.
[03:24] <RealOpty> when i try to upgrade to 10.10 i get this error "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." any suggestions?
[03:24] <DavyCave> Tortoise7: all back lit keyboards are just powered by the USB so its not even a OS deal
[03:24] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2: any suggestion?
[03:24] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: unless its a security issue i wouldn't worry about it then
[03:24] <twinkie_addict> Lynx_2 judging from the 10.4 cli only install should only take about 20 min max and i only hve 370 megs of ram
[03:24] <Lynx_2> just unplug and leave it
[03:25] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2: i don't want the others can conctorl that machine via USB
[03:25] <Lynx_2> twinkie_addict: nice!!!! 1:45 on dual core 2 gig
[03:25] <tortoise7> DavyCave: if that is the case.... how then to enable and disable it?  the former key control (Fn + z) no longer has an effect.
[03:26] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: lol, i'd go the low end approach then... unplug external usb from mobo, calk to the hard wired mobo connections ;-)\
[03:26] <twinkie_addict> but im not get the entire ubuntu destop crap only conanline stuff then i can install xorg xinit xfce4 and other aps that i want like seamonkey
[03:26] <DavyCave> Tortoise7: did you try it on another computer?
[03:26] <BeeBuu> that's a way,but i need save something to a USB disk
[03:26] <nobarking> what is the lightest desktop environment available for Ubuntu?
[03:27] <Lynx_2> twinkie_addict: nice bro, i might try all cli one day ;-)
[03:27] <Andorin> Hi, my laptop, which runs 10.10, has stopped booting. I updated it this morning. After the BIOS screen I just see a blank black screen with a blinking white cursor. Any thoughts?
[03:27] <twinkie_addict> the nice thing is by doing this way you boot to command line then just run startx :)
[03:28] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: hmm, could try serial to usb adapter, i think on most bios their is a way to disable usb altogether, atleast their is on mine, then u could still use your usb stick
[03:28] <twinkie_addict> i dont have to run all of x to chat in irc
[03:28] <BeeBuu> Lynx_2: no any easy ways?
[03:29] <twinkie_addict> i got used to cli from slack ware i just dont feel right doing any other way
[03:29] <Lynx_2> BeeBuu: not to my knowledge, but i don't claim to be an expert either, i'm sure their is actually if u're good at coding, its all open source after all, but i don't think their is an easy way... a start is all storage is labeled hdx (hd0 hd1) etc, i would start their
[03:30] <BeeBuu> Thanks, Lynx_2
[03:30] <Lynx_2> Weems: np, good luck
[03:30] <tortoise7> DavyCave: this in on a new toshiba satellite notebook..... came with win7 and a bunch of toshiba s/w..... all components worked as expected.... formatted and made a fresh install of ubuntu... have gotten nearly everything to work Except the backlit function for the keyboard.... thougths?
[03:31] <twinkie_addict> woot done dowloading now upgradeing
[03:32] <Ken8521> tortoise7: i had that problem on my Acer... a long time ago.. any chance it's a Intel graphics device?
[03:32] <tortoise7> Ken8521: nope... all AMD stuff on this unit
[03:33] <mrandrzejak1> ive been having problems with my system and panels after ctrl+alt+f5. ive got everything working again (i think) but is there any tests i can run on my system to see if all is OK?
[03:33] <mamece2> anyone here use Vbox? i try to emulate BT4 and use a wireles usb adapter
[03:33] <Ken8521> tortoise7: hmm, do you know what the graphcis device is?
[03:33] <thuong> w cm how can i read system computer in ubuntu os same as command DXDIAG in MS windows ?
[03:33] <blakkheim> thuong: lshw
[03:33] <blakkheim> mamece2: this isn't a BT channel
[03:33] <hDy> mamece2, could just boot in to it on a live cd..
[03:33] <cipher_> any idea why my server doesn' think it needs to upgrade?
[03:34] <cipher_> it keeps saying there isn't a new release
[03:34] <Lynx_2> are u graphical or cli cipher?
[03:34] <cipher_> cli
[03:34] <mamece2> blakkheim but the issue is related to ubuntu, its the host OS
[03:34] <Lynx_2> talk to twinkie_addict cipher
[03:34] <Lynx_2> he just went through it
[03:34] <twinkie_addict> i can help with i just did it
[03:35] <cipher_> thanks
[03:36] <cipher_> what do i need to do
[03:36] <Lynx_2> its involved.... he's prolly looking
[03:36] <twinkie_addict> cipher check in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrade scroll down to default set it to normal
[03:36] <twinkie_addict> then run do-release-upgrade
[03:36] <tazmania> pjz: doesn't need anything in /etc/network/interfaces.  dnsmasq will take care of the rest like dhcp server etc.  hostapd is up automatically now.  thanks.
[03:36] <cipher_> yea i already looked and it's normal
[03:37] <twinkie_addict> weird it worked perfectly for me
[03:37] <twinkie_addict> i dont know then did you update first ?
[03:38] <cipher_> it's still 10.04
[03:38] <Nolan_Hester> i recently upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 and the new sound menu applet will not appear in my notification area
[03:38] <cipher_> how do you print the version?
[03:38] <twinkie_addict> my 10.4 system was curent wen i started upgrade
[03:38] <cipher_> i know it's 10.04 because it didn't upgrade the kernel tho
[03:38] <cipher_> i'm still 2.6.32
[03:39] <twinkie_addict> try useing aptitude for some reson apt-get dosent upgrade kernel in 10.4
[03:39] <Lynx_2> have u done all other relevant upgrades to 10.04 before trying to upgrade to 10.10
[03:39] <twinkie_addict> at least not for me
[03:39] <trism> Nolan_Hester: the sound applet is now in the indicator applet (it was in 10.04 too), if that is already in your panel, make sure indicator-sound is installed
[03:39] <mrandrzejak1> is there any programs to restore my system, but not remove any of my apps?
[03:40] <xplo-> Hey, is it possible to install a portable version of ubuntu on a 128G Usb stick ?
[03:40] <xplo-> or on a 320G portable HDD
[03:40] <ubuntu_> hello can someone please tell me how I can install ubuntu in a netbook with only2gigas of hd?
[03:40] <blakkheim> !mini > ubuntu_
[03:40] <Xuzz> !seen LordElph
[03:40] <Xuzz> aww
[03:40] <cipher_> it says i don't need to upgrade anything
[03:40] <cipher_> killin me
 !mini > ubuntu_
[03:40] <xplo> talking to me ?
[03:41] <tortoise7> Ken8521: ati  mobility radeon hd5145 with a Gb of discrete ram.... not sure how this applies to the keyboard backlit problem.
[03:41] <blakkheim> obviously not
[03:41] <xplo> ah ok
[03:41] <Nisstyre65> what's discrete RAM? : |
[03:42] <Lynx_2> cipher_ i would think that its not set to normal releases in relase upgrades. try a reboot, double verify, make sure its not a temp file etc... prolly something stupid
[03:42] <twinkie_addict> i wish i knew i ham haveing great sucess useing the same info i gave you
[03:42] <gbs> hi, there is a unity channel in freenode?
[03:42] <xplo> is there a portable version of ubuntu available?
[03:42] <twinkie_addict> my upgrade is almost done
[03:43] <twinkie_addict> 5 10 min max
[03:43] <Lynx_2> xplo: i've never heard of one
[03:43] <xplo> or any other distro ?
[03:43] <Lynx_2> xplo: yes their are, what are u looking for?
[03:44] <xplo> just something to play around with
[03:44] <cipher_> this is killin me
[03:44] <xplo> i got a new 320G external and a 128G flash key
[03:44] <Lynx_2> xplo: u can play around with ubuntu as a live cd
[03:44] <zebastianortis> let me put it this way, i recently upgroud to 10.10 from 10.04 and now when i plug in the logitech speakers 1 8th jack into the headphone thingy there's no sound, the laptop keeps playing it from its own internal mic, how do i fix this
[03:44] <gr8m8> xplo: you can put the standard ubuntu on a usb stick
[03:44] <xplo> i want it to be portable on my external
[03:44] <Lynx_2> xplo: u can install it in windows even, but its not really portable as i think u're speaking as every computer has different hardware
[03:45] <twinkie_addict> xplo a great distro to play with is slakware
[03:45] <Lynx_2> yup
[03:45] <xplo> gr8m8 seriousely ?
[03:45] <gr8m8> !unetbootin | xplo
[03:45] <Roasted> I created a folder in /var/www that I own and have 7 permissions to. Why is it within that folder if I delete something, it warns me itll be deleted RIGHT away, whereas if I delete something from my home dir, it goes to the trash bin? Just curious on why theres a difference.
[03:45] <Lynx_2> xplo-it doesn't work like that, if u try to boot a linux distro on another computer graphically it will most likely crash
[03:45] <gr8m8> xplo: the second link
[03:45] <xplo> ty gr8m8
[03:45] <zebastianortis> ok problem solved, next
[03:46] <gr8m8> Lynx_2: nope - you can swap hdds between comps no prob
[03:46] <msl> Roasted, is the directory setguid?
[03:46] <Lynx_2> yeah u can, but not a bootable HD, with a totally dif os for another computer
[03:46] <Lynx_2> maybe i misunderstood the question
[03:47] <Roasted> msl, I have no idea what you just asked me...
[03:47] <gr8m8> Lynx_2: if it has its' own bootloader sure you can
[03:47] <virtue> Hello. Does anyone know anything about sound?
[03:47] <xplo> the thing is i want to install a linux environment on my huge external, so i could use it AT THE SAME TIME i use my vista lappy
[03:47] <xplo> possible right ?
[03:47] <Lynx_2> ok, so if i install ubuntu on my HD for my comp, my gfx card, etc etc, and bring my HD to your computer, u're saying their is a way the OS will successfully load?
[03:48] <xplo> but, ubuntu on the portable, and vista in his pc
[03:48] <un214> it should boot
[03:48] <un214> it might boot to command prompt
[03:48] <zebastianortis> on additional drivers, i am on lubuntu 10.10, upgraded from 10.04 and it works smooth, i noticed though, on the additional drivers it mentions broadcom b43 wireless driver and broadcom sta wireless driver and ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver, now, i am connected through the wireless right now and it works fine, screen resolution also seems to work fine so should i leave it and take the not broken don't fix it approach or not?
[03:48] <xplo> but, both at the same time ?
[03:48] <msl> Roasted, or maybe sticky bit
[03:48] <Lynx_2> exactly, i won't load
[03:48] <msl> I mix them up sometimes
[03:48] <gr8m8> xplo: you need a vm to run two os's at the same time
[03:48] <xplo> one says yes, and the other says no
[03:48] <msl> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit
[03:48] <xplo> ..
[03:49] <gr8m8> !vbox | xplo
[03:49] <zebastianortis> none of these are activated
[03:49] <Roasted> msl, is this just because /var/www is within the root directory and separated partitioned wise from my home dir?
[03:50] <pjz> augh, it's got to do with the !@#$%^& wifi drivers
[03:50] <jjman6_> I have partition that claims its full (i did a du -h ) but there should be nearly 15Gb free. Trash is empty. i can't figure out why its full reporting its full but its not. It is also being shared via NFS & i was deleting/copying files remotely i think it has to do with this...
[03:51] <RedSingularity> Here is a question.  Why the hell doesnt skype for linux update its news section?
[03:51] <KB1JWQ> jjman6_: Stale file handles, if you deleted something that's a process is hoding open.
[03:51] <grub2sucks> I think I'm having trouble  with grub2.  Can anyone help?
[03:52] <jjman6_> KB1JWQ: how can i clear that out!
[03:52] <bonez2046> grub2sucks: what's it doing or not doing?
[03:52] <virtue> Think anyone can explain to me why my mp3s I play are all sped up in any player?
[03:52] <spidy> os[Linux 2.6.32-25-generic-pae i686] distro[Ubuntu "lucid" 10.04] cpu[8 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         860  @ 2.80GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 1.20GHz] mem[Physical: 7.8GB, 95.6% free] disk[Total: 1.4TB, 92.9% free] video[10de:05ea] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel]
[03:52] <spidy> yo
[03:52] <spidy> :)
[03:52] <KB1JWQ> jjman6_: Figure out what's being held open via LSOF? :-)
[03:52] <FloodBot1> spidy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:52] <Flynsarmy> Anyone here running pidgin? Notice the taskbar doesn't blink on default maverick theme?
[03:53] <twinkie_addict> need to reboot bb
[03:53] <bonez2046> Flynsarmy: I used to use pidgin.. now I run bitlbee on localhost.. and it works great...
[03:53] <Flynsarmy> bonez2046: that was completely unhelpful :) haha
[03:53] <Andorin> Flynsarmy: I don't recall the panel icon for Pidgin ever blinking
[03:53] <msl> Roasted, Being in a different part of the directory tree shouldn't be an issue.  Likely the perms on the directory are causing this (I think).
[03:54] <Flynsarmy> Andorin: it blinks bright orange on unread messages the way the windows one does
[03:54] <bonez2046> Flynsarmy: I never claimed that I was being HELPFUL.. just sharing my thought on the issue
[03:54] <msl> stat /var/www | grep Access
[03:55] <virtue> Think anyone can explain to me why the mp3s I play are all sped up in any player?
[03:55] <KB1JWQ> Crap encoding, virtue?
[03:55] <Flynsarmy> If your FTP/SFTP transfer times out and just sits on 'preparing' and never goes away, whats the best way to remove it? Why doesn't it ever time out and go away on its own?
[03:55] <Andorin> Flynsarmy: What mine does is change the green circle to a yellow smiley-face... which is what it was doing in Lucid as well, and at least Karmic if I recall
[03:55] <virtue> KB1JWQ: Youtube too. Any Mp3/music file.
[03:56] <Flynsarmy> Andorin: oh, not up there, i mean in the window list at the bottom
[03:56] <virtue> and any*
[03:56] <Andorin> Flynsarmy: Oh, I see what you mean
[03:56] <grub2sucks> I just downloaded 10.10, and rather than upgrade again, I formatted via the live cd and did a new install.  Now instead of showing the grub menu, the word "GRUB" appears and my computer hangs.  What did I do wrong?
[03:56] <Andorin> Flynsarmy: Yep, you're right, the text just bolds, no blinking.
[03:57] <Flynsarmy> Andorin: hmm. I'm wondering if its a bug with pidgin or if none down there can blink in any app anymore - bug with maverick maybe?
[03:57] <mgmuscari> does anyone have ideas why a tap interface wouldn't be responding to arp requests?
[03:57] <wakeupsticky> so i got the .iso burned to a cd and booted from it. ubuntu took like 10 minutes (literally) to load and when it loaded, it started the file manager over and over creating an infinite loop (the taskbar was full of "Starting file manager" windows which kept popping up
[03:57] <twinkie_addict> well i rebooted ok :)
[03:58] <Andorin> Flynsarmy: You said it won't do it in the default theme. Does that mean you tried other themes?
[03:58] <wakeupsticky> )))))))))
[03:58] <mgmuscari> it seems to be dropping all packets
[03:58] <Flynsarmy> Andorin: haven't tried others. This is the first time i've ever actually LIKED the default theme. don't want to change it :)
[03:58] <Loshki> jjman6: sometimes, nfs renames files instead of deleting them (I forget why). Check your disks for leftover filenames beginning with .nfs...  Note: You need to run 'ls -a' in a terminal to see such files...
[03:58] <Lynx_2> everything working ok twinkie?
[03:59] <virtue> So nobody knows why all .mp3s would be sped up for someone?
[03:59] <jjman6_> Loshki: yea i looked for hidden files.  nothing
[04:00] <Lynx_2> virtue- have utried running it in multiple programs? sorry if u've already stated that, i just got back on.
[04:01] <RabidLockerGnome> Hi all, my laptop will only output sound via HDMI. any ideas? it has an ALC888 Analog and Intel HDMI built in
[04:01] <Lynx_2> laptop with HDMI is out of my price range ;-)
[04:02] <RabidLockerGnome> cost me $500 ;-)
[04:02] <Lynx_2> nice find, where ;-)
[04:02] <tiox> Is there a way to set sound source?
[04:02] <RabidLockerGnome> walmart, back in january
[04:02] <grub2sucks> ack, my computer just spontaneously rebooted
[04:02] <virtue> Lynx_2: Yes, multiple players. Even youtube audio is sped up.
[04:03] <wakeupsticky> i just ran the checksums and they are the same
[04:03] <grub2sucks> so does anyone know how to troubleshoot booting problems?
[04:03] <Lynx_2> virtue: hmmm, might be a flash problem if u're on 10.04 get rid of it, biggest peice of garbage canonical has ever turned out, 10.10 fixed all of my probs
[04:03] <Magros_Forever> #ubuntu-br
[04:03] <Lynx_2> then again, if its just mp3's its not just flash
[04:03] <Jordan_U> virtue: Is video fast as well?
[04:04] <wakeupsticky> so i got the .iso burned to a cd and booted from it. ubuntu took like 10 minutes (literally) to load and when it loaded, it started the file manager over and over creating an infinite loop (the taskbar was full of "Starting file manager" windows which kept popping up)
[04:04] <wakeupsticky> ^^ any idea what this is about?
[04:04] <virtue> Lynx_2: It's flash and all mp3s in all players. Running 10.10 final.
[04:04] <virtue> Jordan_U: I'll test a video file now.
[04:04] <Lynx_2> wakeupsticky: had that prob one time, beleive it or not, it was the cd-rom/dvd-rom, was the culprit, swap em out if u have a spare
[04:05] <wakeupsticky> you mean the drive, not the cd itself?
[04:05] <Lynx_2> yup, i know, wierd
[04:05] <virtue> Jordan_U: I played a .mkv and it ran at normal speed, with no sound.
[04:05] <Lynx_2> yeah the drive itself
[04:06] <wakeupsticky> also, how do i install ubuntu alongside windows rather than just run it from the cd?
[04:06] <histo> !dualboot | wakeupsticky
[04:06] <Jordan_U> wakeupsticky: If you press any key during the first 5 seconds of boot you can do a CD integrity check, which will fail if there is any probalem with the media or the drive.
[04:07] <Lynx_2> virtue-i get wierd sh*t when i don't have mencoder installed, just random crap, i can't explain it, but everytime i do a fresh install, i get wierd crap untill i install it, try sudo apt-get install mencoder

[04:10] <mattcodes> okay, I downloaded Ubuntu VTC Certification (need something to watch whilst the girlfriend is watching thai tv), yes I know certs are like "macdonalds fine cuisine specialist
[04:10] <Gnea> Dante: what kind?
[04:11] <mattcodes> how do I open .bin on Ubuntu, on windoze I'd use virtual cd or something
[04:11] <Dante> I have tried both ethernet to wireless and also a usb to a wireless
[04:11] <mattcodes> presumably the bin is an image of the cd/dvd and inside are avis
[04:11] <Jordan_U> grub2sucks: Extra commentary won't get you support sooner, please avoid it in the future. Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[04:11] <Dante> the usb to a wire is a module WUSB300N
[04:11] <RabidLockerGnome> Okay, so since all the sound goes through one card, ubuntu is for whatever reason only working with one device. and there's no way to make it use the other one
[04:12] <msl> mattcodes, mount -o loop yourdisk.iso /some/mount
[04:12] <msl> something like that
[04:12] <wakeupsticky> when i try to shrink my c drive i'm told that i can only shrink it by like 1600 MB o_O
[04:12] <virtue> Lynx_2: Installed mencoder. No apparent changes. :/
[04:13] <Dante> Any help with getting a WUSB300N to work with 10.10?
[04:13] <virtue> Jordan_U: I've only tried mp3s. System sounds seem fine though, just a bit staticy.
[04:13] <wakeupsticky> Total size before shrink in MB: 142492; Size of available shrink space in MB: 1647
[04:13] <kgunpowder> Help me out here please?
[04:14] <wakeupsticky> That's crazy...i have much more free space than that
[04:14] <Ken8521> Dante, whats the chipset on it?
[04:14] <Dante> What do you mean by chipset
[04:14] <kgunpowder> Hey.
[04:14] <Jordan_U> virtue: You said there is a problem with youtube, does the video play fast as well?
[04:14] <Lynx_2> wakeupsticky: goto the manual option, its proabably trying to maximize your swap space
[04:14] <Aemaeth> wakeupsticky, did you defrag first? i'm guessing that if there are chunks of files everywhere that might have an effect?
[04:15] <Aemaeth> or what Lynx_2 said
[04:15] <virtue> Jordan_U: Yes. The little seconds on the youtube timeline move about 3x as fast. It's the same thing with any application audip player too.
[04:15] <grub2sucks> Jordan_U: understood, but given the volume of this channel, it's hard to tell if people have actually seen what gets typed before it's 10 pages into oblivion and/or if they are interested. I'm checking out your link now.
[04:15] <wakeupsticky> There's no manual option unless you mean where you can arrow up/down the amount of space to shrink, but I'm not allowed to increase that
[04:15] <j1> trying to upgrade, its telling me not enough disk space, i know there is enough free space, but i think it is looking on the wrong partition, how do i get it to look on the partition that i want
[04:15] <wakeupsticky> And no, I didn't defrag...
[04:15] <Gnurdux> can someone help me downgrade X, as the version in Maverick breaks lots of things for me?
[04:16] <kgunpowder> EXCUSE ME, I have a simple question.
[04:16] <Jordan_U> grub2sucks: Then just repeat your question, without the commentary.
[04:16] <Procule> hello, how do I revert an upgraded package ? the new flashplayer for 10.04 is terrible (in the bad sense)
[04:16] <Ken8521> Dante, wireless devices have a chipset on them(most common are Intel, broadcom, atheros, ralink)
[04:16] <Lynx_2> wakeupsticky: u actually are allowed too, its kinda hard to find, i was puzzled by that before but unfortunately i don't remember how i bypassed it ;-)
[04:16] <Aemaeth> !ask | kgunpowder
[04:16] <Ken8521> Dante, did you say it's USB?
[04:16] <jadarite> I have tried to use a USB to install ubuntu and edubuntu, but when it boots up, it just lists "Syslinux 3.86.......Peter Anvin et al"  and stalls.  I used the universal USB program as instructed.  Can someone help me try to find the solution to getting this installed?  I have been working on this for 2 days.
[04:16] <mattcodes> how can I change the default editor to gvim in ubuntu 10.04?
[04:16] <kgunpowder> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 works fine, but as soon as it boots I lose my desktop, no detected input.
[04:17] <kgunpowder> What's wrong here? I'm new to Ubuntu so I'm a little clueless.
[04:17] <Lynx_2> wakeupsticky: its a tab or something wierd, but read the screen it tells u what to do, once u find it u'll feel like an idiot (or at least i did)
[04:17] <mikeru> hey
[04:17] <mikeru> I'm having trouble with a HP Pavilion dv5
[04:17] <Jordan_U> jadarite: If you're making the USB from 10.04 you need to use Ubuntu's "Startup Disk Creator", not unetbootin.
[04:18] <Ken8521> mikeru, what type of trouble?
[04:18] <Lynx_2> off to bed, night all
[04:18] <mikeru> I accidentally turned off the touchpad with the touchpad switch button
[04:18] <mikeru> so I turned it on again
[04:18] <jadarite> Jordan, it's 10.10.  Assume everything is most recent.
[04:18] <mikeru> and the touchpad was working again, but the keyboard wasn't
[04:18] <Aemaeth> yikes
[04:18] <mikeru> so I turned it off and on again
[04:18] <mikeru> and then the touchpad wasn't working but the keyboard was
[04:19] <kgunpowder> Stuck in Limbo then?
[04:19] <Jordan_U> jadarite: Then you're trying to make a 10.04 USB from 10.10?
[04:19] <mikeru> and again and the touchpad has not worked since then
[04:19] <jadarite> Jordan, I am on Windows, not using previous ubuntu versions.
[04:19] <McEnroe> Hey guys, I want to install 10.10. I don't have wired internet and a broadcom wireless recognized by restricted drivers thingy. Since I don't have wired I can't download the wireless driver. I have a usb stick I could use to transfer it, but I need to know what to download first ... Any prior experience with that?
[04:19] <jadarite> Jordan, nothing to do with 10.4
[04:19] <mikeru> I went to a VT and killed X
[04:19] <Jordan_U> jadarite: Are you using the latest version of unetbootin?
[04:19] <mikeru> (sudo killall Xorg)
[04:19] <wakeupsticky> Also, the instructions for installing ubuntu say to just enter the cd, start up, and follow the instructions...but i don't get installation instructions, i just get ubuntu from the disc
[04:19] <jadarite> Jordan, I have Windows 7 and I want unbuntu 10.10.  EVERYTHING IS MOST RECENT.
[04:19] <mikeru> then both were working again...
[04:20] <mikeru> but new every time I log in, the touchpad GETS TURNED OFF !
[04:20] <jadarite> Jordan, how do I check that?
[04:20] <seidos> anyone help give me some ideas to get sound working in totem and/or rhythmbox?  sounds works currently in chrome, and the login sound works.
[04:20] <mikeru> like, I'm moving the cursor and it stops moving as soon as the login sound is heard
[04:20] <zacstone> hey have anyone figured out how to get ubuntu desktop at refresh rate of 120hz?
[04:20] <semitones> wakeupsticky, hmm that's odd. Do you see any icons on the desktop when you start ubuntu from the cd?
[04:20] <mikeru> Ken8521, lookabove
[04:20] <grub2sucks> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/Ph6GuxVs
[04:20] <Aemaeth> wakeupsticky, as far as the install, you didn't get a choice of 'Try ubuntu' or 'Install' at the very beginning? its the same point it asks for your language, if you used the regular install cd you should have seen this?
[04:21] <zacstone> I am on lastest nvidia drivers for ubuntu
[04:21] <Ken8521> mikeru, i was following
[04:21] <wakeupsticky> i used the .iso cd
[04:21] <izinucs> zacstone: trying to hook it up to your big scree
[04:21] <wakeupsticky> i burned it
[04:21] <Jordan_U> virtue: I think it may be a problem with your computer's clock.
[04:21] <Ken8521> wow, never heard of anything like that
[04:21] <izinucs> zacstone: screen?
[04:21] <mikeru> Ken8521, oh, so do you have any idea :( ?
[04:21] <semitones> wakeupsticky, please be more specific than .iso...
[04:21] <Ken8521> mikeru, sorry, i don't....
[04:21] <zacstone> izinucs: not big screen, just my 120hz LCD monitor
[04:22] <zacstone> izinucs: its stuck at 60hz. I hate that.
[04:22] <jadarite> Jordan, I think you are recommending I use another program instead of the USB universal installer?
[04:22] <kgunpowder> What am I to do about my screen? When Ubuntu 10.10 boots, my desktop goes to sleep and I hear a notification sound (assuming it's a welcome one).  How can I fix this?
[04:22] <zacstone> izinucs: even the in xconfg i set it to 120hz but my monitor still said its in 60hz mode
[04:22] <izinucs> zacstone: google your card first and see if it's capable.. if it is.. then did you install nvidia drivers from the hardware drivers appelate or the binary from nvidia?
[04:22] <Jordan_U> grub2sucks: What you are seeing at boot is not grub2 but grub legacy. Change the boot order in your BIOS.
[04:23] <wakeupsticky> ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386 is the image file i burned
[04:23] <sanduz2> how can you hear a sound if it goes to sleep?
[04:23] <ZGHirc> zacstone: my nvidia drivers is the beta version.
[04:23] <zacstone> izinucs: I know my card, my card supports more than 120hz for sure, its geforce 9800gt
[04:23] <kgunpowder> My moniter goes to sleep, but I have speakers...
[04:23] <izinucs> zacstone: so which way did you install the driver?
[04:23] <Jordan_U> jadarite: Yes (I am not familiar with that particular program, and unetbootin is known to work).
[04:23] <zacstone> ZGHirc: i even roll back drivers, it won't even help
[04:23] <jadarite> Jordan, thanks, I will try now
[04:23] <sanduz2> kgunpowder, your video card driver probably isnt working. press alt+f1 on your keyboard and login and from there you can work
[04:24] <zacstone> izinucs: from the ubuntu software
[04:24] <sanduz2> maybe
[04:24] <Jordan_U> jadarite: You're welcome.
[04:24] <kgunpowder> So just boot it and see if alt+f1 will fix it?
[04:24] <kgunpowder> I mean, after I go to sleep hit that?
[04:24] <zacstone> izinucs: is there command to FORCE 120hz no matter what..
[04:24] <ZGHirc> zacstone: Though it is the beta version .It 's just work well.
[04:24] <izinucs> zacstone: xrandr will adjust the hz..
[04:24] <virtue> Jordan_U: .avi video is sped up as well. I enabled the clock applet gnome panel to show system time with seconds. It seems to be functioning normally except that it jumps 2 seconds really often with a small pause, but the pause still keeps it on time exactly.
[04:24] <ABGD> is it normal to have CPU usage hovering around 54%? i have a intel core 2 duo
[04:24] <sanduz2> kgunpowder, alt+f1 wont fix it, but you will be able to log in and type commands and stuff, thats what you need to start fixing it
[04:24] <izinucs> !xrandr | zacstone
[04:25] <izinucs> zacstone: despite that the link says it's for dual monitors
[04:25] <sanduz2> if its a driver problem anyway
[04:25] <zacstone> ubottu: i don't want dual monitor!
[04:25] <kgunpowder> sanduz2: I'm a complete newbie to Ubuntu, I wouldn't know where to start or how. I'm not exactly the best with video drivers to boot.
[04:26] <sanduz2> kgunpowder, but thats the first step no matter what you do so see if it works
[04:26] <McEnroe> Hey guys, I want to install 10.10. I don't have wired internet and a broadcom wireless recognized by restricted drivers thingy. Since I don't have wired I can't download the wireless driver. I have a usb stick I could use to transfer it, but I need to know what to download first ... Any prior experience with that?
[04:26] <kgunpowder> sanduz2 if it works I won't be back.
[04:26] <kgunpowder> thanks.
[04:26] <sanduz2> k
[04:26] <sanduz2> np
[04:27] <Jordan_U> virtue: There are two different clocks, the real time clock which is used for pausing for X number of miliseconds, to keep a program running at a given speed, and the calender clock which keeps the date and time.
[04:27] <BOZZY> Errr... I got a quick question here too :)
[04:27] <zacstone> izinucs: ok i'll reboot into ubuntu. i'll be right back
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> BOZZY: ask away, no need to announce first :)
[04:27] <Jordan_U> virtue: One can be working correctly while the other is going too fast, and that appears to be what's happening.
[04:27] <BOZZY> Hehe... So my question is if I am coming across a bug in 10.10
[04:27] <wakeupsticky> ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386 is the image file i burned
[04:27] <wakeupsticky> ^ is that right?
[04:27] <semitones> yes that's right
[04:28] <semitones> wakeupsticky, what are you trying to do?
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> wakeupsticky: remember to MD5 test the ISO before burning it
[04:28] <BOZZY> Whenever I boot up into 10.10 I notice that my wallpaper (current one and default one) would appear tiled before I finally get to my desktop... Is this normal behaviour?>
[04:28] <Dante> Ken8521: yes its a Linksys usb network adapter
[04:28] <wakeupsticky> i md5 tested it and it checked out. i'm trying to install ubuntu alongside windows
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> BOZZY: funnily enough I just answered this on launchpad: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/129170
[04:28] <wakeupsticky> vista
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> wakeupsticky: good, many don't :)
[04:29] <aezaerth> Hi the world!
[04:29] <Ken8521> Dante, plug the adapter in, give it a second to load, open a terminal, and type lsusb(thats a lowercase L).. hit enter, and find the wireless device in the output
[04:29] <aezaerth> I asked a quick question. If you want to export the history of your clipboard (like Parcellite) how would you? The purpose of the maneuver is to copy full link without a switcher from a window to another (Web / Notepad) and have a whole series of linked web column
[04:29] <Dante> how do i open a terminal?
[04:29] <aocoder> Howdy! I tried to install something, but instead broke Synpatic. I'm not really sure what I should do... error message follows; what should my next step be? It seems like I have a blank sources.list.
[04:29] <aocoder> E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> Dante: CTRL+ALT+T
[04:29] <aocoder> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[04:30] <Jordan_U> !terminal | Dante
[04:30] <aocoder> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
[04:30] <aocoder> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[04:30] <FloodBot1> aocoder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:30] <wakeupsticky> should i try re-burning the file?
[04:30] <virtue> Jordan_U: That makes sense. Any ideas on how to access the clock that programs run on?
[04:30] <semitones> wakeupsticky, what happened when you booted from cd?
[04:30] <ssbr> I want to install Wine without having internet on the computer I'm installing it on. How would I do this?
[04:30] <BOZZY> Hehe... That was actually my question ActionParsnip
[04:30] <aphid> Since upgrading to 10.10, after authenticating I get an empty desktop background and a mouse cursor but nothing to click...
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> aocoder: can you give the output of: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | head -n 55 | tail -n 1      thanks, don't paste like that either please
[04:30] <BOZZY> thanks for answering my question :)
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> BOZZY: zing!
[04:30] <Jordan_U> virtue: No, you might want to ask in ##hardware.
[04:30] <wakeupsticky> when i booted from cd i got the screen with "ubuntu" and the five white dots (turning red) for about five minutes (literally). then ubuntu just started up, but "Starting file manager" windows kept popping up over and over (but just in the taskbar)
[04:31] <wakeupsticky> firefox worked for a minute but then kept crashing
[04:31] <zacstone_> izinucs: how do i know if i'm on kdm or kde?
[04:31] <aocoder> ActionParsnip, sorry about the pasting
[04:31] <izinucs> zacstone_: kdm is kde.. like gdm is gnome..
[04:32] <Dante> Ken: alright i hout which usb it is in what do i do with it?
[04:32] <Dante> i found out*
[04:32] <semitones> wakeupsticky, hmm... what kind of computer is it?
[04:32] <zacstone_> izinucs: so i'm on gdm if i'm on ubuntu?
[04:32] <blakkheim> ActionParsnip: why cat | head when you can just head file
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> ssbr: you will need to grab all the dependancies from the web, you could start with wine then see what the packages moan about, then go grab that package and so on, very messy
[04:32] <Ken8521> Dante, you found out what?
[04:32] <wakeupsticky> acer aspire
[04:32] <izinucs> zacstone_: yes.. unless you're on kubuntu.. but you should have to stop X to make the change
[04:32] <ssbr> ActionParsnip: Oh. Well. The other part is that strictly speaking I haven't installed ubuntu yet, either
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> blakkheim: true but it's what came to mind so I flew with it
[04:32] <AshyIsMe> hello
[04:33] <AshyIsMe> is there an ubuntu package for vim 7.3 somewhere?
[04:33] <AshyIsMe> i cant seem to find one in synaptic
[04:33] <semitones> wakeupsticky, usually when you boot from the cd
[04:33] <semitones> wakeupsticky, you get a splash screen asking if you want to try ubuntu, run a memory test, etc.
[04:33] <Dante> on the terminal it came up with the devices pluged in to each usb is that all i was suppose to get?
[04:33] <aocoder> ActionParsnip: "cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory"
[04:33] <blakkheim> AshyIsMe: ubuntu usually has outdated packages, if the "vim" package is too old then you should compile it yourself
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> AshyIsMe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1558288
[04:33] <blakkheim> !info vim
[04:33] <wakeupsticky> i'm going to reburn the image onto a dvd-r
[04:33] <semitones> wakeupsticky, and when you "try ubuntu," it gives you a chance to install later on.
[04:34] <semitones> wakeupsticky, so I'd try doing that again, and have IRC open while you do it if you can
[04:34] <AshyIsMe> blakkheim, fair enough, guess im getting lazy in my old age
[04:34] <Ken8521> !who | Dante
[04:34] <HOLOGRAPHICpizza> Does anyone know if the Alternate Install CD for Maverick has an option for a command-line install? (no desktop environment)
[04:34] <Ken8521> Dante, yes... do you see your wireless device in the list?
[04:34] <wakeupsticky> can't have irc open while i try to boot, cause i only have one computer
[04:34] <histo> HOLOGRAPHICpizza: thats all it does
[04:34] <blakkheim> !mini > HOLOGRAPHICpizza
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> aocoder: ok then use nautilus to open /etc/apt   find sources.list and open it, you must have that file as it not only relates to your error (there is a bad line 55) but it's also needed
[04:34] <mikeru> Ken8521, fixed it
[04:35] <wakeupsticky> but i will have it open while i'm reburning and i'll come back after i try to boot again
[04:35] <Ken8521> mikeru, great
[04:35] <izinucs> HOLOGRAPHICpizza: nope.. server does
[04:35] <mikeru> Ken8521, I guessed there was something wrong on my session, so I logged in
[04:35] <mikeru> the touchpad got disabled
[04:35] <Ken8521> hmm
[04:35] <mikeru> Ken8521, so I started gnome-do with windows+R
[04:35] <mikeru> gconf-editor
[04:35] <Tac_Home> so, I have 10.10 on my netbook and now I am having trouble with my attached monitor.  The settings window shows everything correctly, but my netbook screen is blank, and I just have a netbook sized portion of my LCD active, and showing what I'd normally see on just the netbook screen.... any thoughts?
[04:35] <semitones> wakeupsticky: ok. You might also like to grab the -alternate cd image while you're at it.
[04:35] <mikeru> went to desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad
[04:36] <mikeru> and touchpad_enabled was disabled
[04:36] <Kiba> hmm
[04:36] <jadarite> Jordan, in UNetbootin, what do I choose to install edubuntu 10.10?  They have several options for ubuntu 10.10 but nothing for edubuntu
[04:36] <wakeupsticky> is that an image to try if the normal one doesn't work properly?
[04:36] <Kiba> my bootloader is broke
[04:36] <semitones> wakeupsticky, exactly
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> Tac_Home: try the shortcut key to modify the display, possibly some F-key + fn
[04:36] <kgunpowder> I'm back.
[04:36] <kgunpowder> Alt+F1 was only a second route to the problem.
[04:36] <Dante> Ken: yea i says linksys for one of the devices
[04:36] <HOLOGRAPHICpizza> izinucs: I remember the old alternate CDs did, I don't want to have a sever kernel though, which is why I don't just use the server edition.
[04:36] <Dante> it*
[04:37] <jadarite> In UNetbootin, what do I choose to install edubuntu 10.10?  They have several options for ubuntu 10.10 but nothing for edubuntu
[04:37] <Ken8521> jadarite, have you already dowbnloaded the isO?
[04:37] <histo> jadarite: edubuntu-desktop
[04:37] <jadarite> ken, yes
[04:37] <izinucs> HOLOGRAPHICpizza: so once installed install the kernel you want and uninstlal the server kernel :)
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> Ken8521: if you run: sudo lshw -C network   you will see the chip it uses (the make is moot) and can websearch on how to make that chip work
[04:37] <histo> jadarite: nvm ignore me
[04:37] <Ken8521> ActionParsnip, lsusb should show the same thing
[04:38] <Kiba> hi
[04:38] <Kiba> my boatloader is broke
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> Ken8521: no, it shows different stuff, although the 8 character hex ID is also useful for finding guides
[04:38] <kgunpowder> I still get a sound that's akin to three sixteenth-notes on a drum of some sort, but my monitor always goes to sleep.
[04:38] <Kiba> and I forgot my window password :(
[04:38] <HOLOGRAPHICpizza> izinucs: That's a pain in the butt but I guess I'll do it anyway. :/ lol
[04:38] <jadarite> I have both ubuntu 10.10 and edubuntu 10.10.  I don't know the answer to either.  I just see live and net listed
[04:38] <Kiba> grub is broke :(
[04:38] <Ken8521> jadarite, if you've already downloaded it.. click the option below.. and use the button beside it to navigate to the ISO you downloaded
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: can you expand on "broke", it doesn't tell us anything at all
[04:38] <Kiba> ActionParsnip: I cannot boot into linux
[04:38] <Kiba> there is no options
[04:39] <jadarite> ken, WHAT OPTION BELOW?  BELOW WHAT?  I am confused
[04:39] <wakeupsticky> i think maybe i stopped the burn process prematurely last time
[04:39] <wakeupsticky> it just popped the cd out but then sucked it back in
[04:39] <Tac_Home> ActionParsnip, I don't get what you're asking me to do....
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: ok and what actually happens when you try to boot, what happens onscreen....
[04:39] <histo> Kiba: doyou still have the instal cd?
[04:39] <wakeupsticky> i think i took it out at this point last time
[04:39] <Kiba> boot me into a grub terminal
[04:39] <wakeupsticky> but it's doing something else now
[04:39] <Kiba> histo: can't install via CD
[04:39] <wakeupsticky> (ImgBurn)
[04:39] <Kiba> doesn't even have a CD drive
[04:39] <RabidLockerGnome> man, this is disheartening. There is not one snd-hda-intel model that works, not one setting that helps. My laptop will not output sound no matter what, unless its going through HDMI. major wtf
[04:40] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: its a bug
[04:40] <RabidLockerGnome> and how do i work around it histo ?
[04:40] <semitones> ActionParsnip, this may be of interest to someone you were helping: http://www.planetoss.com/detail.php?id=13
[04:40] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: there is a fix you can isntall let me get the buglink
[04:40] <aocoder> ActionParsnip:line 55 =  wget -q http://repository.glx-dock.org/cairo-dock.gpg -0-
[04:40] <kgunpowder> I've installed it, but I can't get any visual on Ubuntu at all.  Alt+F1 hasn't helped, it only leads to the same problem.
[04:40] <kgunpowder> Using 10.10
[04:40] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: what type of machine do you have
[04:40] <RabidLockerGnome> Acer Aspire 7736Z
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> Tac_Home: look at your keyboard and you will most likely have one labelled 'Fn' in the bottom left, if you look at the F-keys (F1, F2, F3 etc) you may see a little image of a monitor, maybe with an arrow. it varys from system to system so I cannot describe it exactly, if you press them together it should switch the vga output mode and show a split view or a cloned view and such
[04:40] <CSSnub> I'm getting a gconf error when I try to run firefox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512100/
[04:40] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: yeap
[04:41] <Ken8521> RabidLockerGnome, what was your codec output?
[04:41] <[Hypnotoad]> wow
[04:41] <CSSnub> As near as I can tell I don't have gconf
[04:41] <histo> Ken8521: its a bug
[04:41] <Kiba> shit shit shit
[04:41] <CSSnub> and I don't have any lock files
[04:41] <[Hypnotoad]> 13 critical updates in Windoze update.
[04:41] <Dante> Ken: what do I do now? I have a terminal up with the devices in each usb
[04:41] <Ken8521> histo, i know... had the same prob on my laptop
[04:41] <Kiba> can't access window since I forgot password, no USB drive, etc
[04:41] <histo> Ken8521: well there is a fix someone made
[04:41] <Kiba> I am in the worst position
[04:41] <Ken8521> Dante, if you're going to say my name, say all of it, otherwise, it doesn't alert me you're talking to me.. and w/ 1600 people here, i don't read every line
[04:41] <Kiba> unless I can fix it in grub
[04:41] <Giselle> hello all, i need help, someone can tell me how install HideMyIP 2009 in ubuntu please
[04:41] <Ken8521> Dante, what chipset is it?
[04:41] <semitones> kgunpowder, did you try ctrl-alt-f1?
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> aocoder: thats why, that is a command, not an entry in the sources file. If you run:  gksudo gedit     then open the file then you will have write access and can delete the line, save the new file then run: sudo apt-get update
[04:42] <kgunpowder> No, may I ask what that would do?
[04:42] <kgunpowder> semitones
[04:42] <Ken8521> histo, yeah, adding something to alsa-conf?.. thats what i did, worked on mine
[04:42] <semitones> kgunpowder, that command switches you to a virtual console, which is like a terminal that lets you imput commands.
[04:42] <histo> Ken8521: different issue different card
[04:42] <CSSnub> Should I install gconf?
[04:42] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: bug #617647
[04:42] <Ken8521> hmm, i thougth he said intel
[04:42] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/617647
[04:42] <kgunpowder> semitones, what commands do I input? I've no experience with Ubuntu
[04:42] <semitones> kgunpowder, sometimes those are working when graphics aren't working for whatever reason
[04:43] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: basically install dkms and the deb that the one guy links at near the bottom
[04:43] <semitones> kgunpowder, lets do it one step at a time :) first see if that works.
[04:43] <Dante> Ken8521: how do i tell? it doesnt say in the terminal and the only thing i can say is that it was made 12/2007
[04:43] <aocoder> ActionParsnip - okay, that makes sense
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: make a bootable usb using a different system and you can reinstall grub. I am not conversant with grub but you CAN boot if you type certain commands at the prompt
[04:43] <aocoder> ActionParsnip: thanks
[04:43] <RabidLockerGnome> histo, excellent, thanks
[04:43] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: its a problem with the detection of the card. Problem is across architecture and distros it's a problem with the 2.6.35 kernel
[04:43] <kgunpowder> semitones I'm booting to it, other than that (which takes a little bit) is there another way to do this side-by-side?
[04:43] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: please mark the bug as effecting you also
[04:43] <RabidLockerGnome> histo: what an annoyance!
[04:43] <Ken8521> Dante, try this in a terminal see if it tells you more.. sudo lshw -C network
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> aocoder: you need gksudo to run gedit with elevated access, just opening the file only opens it as user whic doesn't have write access the file
[04:43] <histo> RabidLockerGnome: yeah its not a problem on anything running earlier kernels like 2.6.32
[04:44] <semitones> kgunpowder, is your problem that you can't see anything when you boot up ubuntu?
[04:44] <Chaos2358> can some one help me? i found a way to install yahoo messenger on ubuntu on http://www.technixupdate.com/download-yahoo-messenger-for-ubuntu-linux-with-webcam-voice-chat-photo-sharing-support/ but my terminal cannot find libssl0.9.6" any ideas????
[04:44] <grub2sucks> Jordan_U: Hmmm  It looks like I have grub2 installed on my ubuntu partition, and grub 0.97 on my windows partition.  Is that a problem?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> Chaos2358: which release?
[04:44] <Chaos2358> 10.04
[04:44] <kgunpowder> semitones yes, I get a welcome sound (three beats on a drum) and my monitor goes to sleep shortly beforehand.  After that, I'm screwed.
[04:44] <Tac_Home> ActionParsnip, Nothing happened good... aside from now whenever I type it switches monitor configurations on it's own.....
[04:44] <RabidLockerGnome> Now if only my computer wouldn't slow to a crawl when I tried to use HDMI, i'd be set!
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> !info libssl lucid
[04:44] <semitones> kgunpowder, funny story, that happened to me the very first time I tried ubuntu, 4 years ago :)
[04:45] <sin_tax> What's a good size for an ubuntu partition on a dual boot system (128GB primary HDD)
[04:45] <sin_tax> 30GB? 20?
[04:45] <kgunpowder> semitones, great, then you should know the answer?
[04:45] <histo> sin_tax: yeah
[04:45] <hmmmmmmmm> i'm having the wonderful ubuntu black screen problem, if anyone can help me, that'd be greate ...adding nomodeset to grub on bootup doesn't work for me either : (
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> sin_tax: the system partition can be 10Gb and be very happy, use the rest for swap and /home
[04:45] <Chaos2358> ActionParsnip wow that really sucks. thank you though
[04:45] <histo> sin_tax: I split my drive in half when I was dual booting back in teh day but it's really up to you.
[04:45] <izinucs> sin_tax: safe side 3 partitions.. root "/" 8-12 gigs.... swap 1-2gigs... /home the rest (it's where your data lives)
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> Chaos2358: its in there dude, sec
[04:46] <goo__> ActionParsnip: libssl-dev ?
[04:46] <Chaos2358> ActionParsnip oh ok cool
[04:46] <sin_tax> do I need swap with 8GB of RAM and SSD?
[04:46] <semitones> kgunpowder, I know what my answer was, for ubuntu 4 years ago :P
[04:46] <sin_tax> Also, is EXT4 fine for SSD?
[04:46] <Dante> Ken8521: which part are you asking for from what came up? it looks like it looking at the ethernet port and not the usb
[04:46] <kgunpowder> semitones, ?
[04:46] <semitones> kgunpowder, but I can show you what I did. What kind of monitor and graphics card are you using?
[04:46] <UbuntuLily> I have Maverick and for some reason everytime I reboot i lose my nvidia video settings (keeps reverting to 800x600 but I want to use 1024 x 768)
[04:46] <Ken8521> !wireless | Dante
[04:46] <UbuntuLily> Anyone have an idea how to deal with this?
[04:47] <Ken8521> Dante, i don't think i'm gonna be able to help you, maybe you'll havve some luck w/ that
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> sin_tax: shouldnt do
[04:47] <izinucs> UbuntuLily: start nvidia-settings from terminal using sudo and save the changes to xorg.conf..(it's an option)
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> !info libssl0.9.8 | Chaos2358
[04:47] <kgunpowder> semitones, I'm using an old HP with some nVidia chip set and an HP monitor
[04:47] <sin_tax> ActionParsnip, shouldn't do what? sorry..
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> Chaos2358: you may need to symlink the file to libssl0.9.7 in /lib
[04:47] <kgunpowder> semitones excuse me while I get the specs
[04:47] <hmmmmmmmm> izinucs: any idea how to handle the black screen on bootup? have m330
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> sin_tax: shouldn't need swap, whats the PC for?
[04:48] <chris8> Hey room... got a newer tower and wondering about connecting my old tower in some sort of LAN or cluster to maximize efficiency... is this worth it? Mosix?
[04:48] <Giselle> !wireless | Giselle
[04:48] <Chaos2358> actionparsnip great thanks
[04:48] <semitones> kgunpowder, ok, you may need to have those handy :)
[04:48] <izinucs> hmmmmmmmm: did you build the computer? or does it have a gforce motherboard that might be 2 years old?
[04:48] <sin_tax> ActionParsnip, everything, it is my main desktop
[04:48] <hmmmmmmmm> izinucs: brand new sony vaio f series (new as of May 10)
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> sin_tax: yes, but what activities do you do?
[04:48] <izinucs> hmmmmmmmm: gforce motherboard chipset that is.. not specifically a gforce board
[04:49] <kgunpowder> semitones, I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE chipset with about 800mb of vram on a 1280 * 1024 resolution
[04:49] <zhengshi> Google Desktop or Beagle ? Which is better?
[04:49] <kgunpowder> semitones using an HP f1905e monitor
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> sin_tax: 3D modelling, music mixing and mastering, sound composin, cad, dtp, chat, compiling.....
[04:49] <RabidLockerGnome> histo: its working now. Thanks!!!!!!!!
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> zhengshi: neither is better, nor worse
[04:49] <sin_tax> Graphic design, light gaming, programming, IRC, lots of browsing
[04:49] <UbuntuLily> Here?    /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:49] <aphid> since updating to 10.10, after I authenticate all I get is a blank desktop-background artsy abstract graphic and a cursor.. but I can't do anything
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> sin_tax: should be fine
[04:49] <semitones> kgunpowder, alright great. We may have to look up some specs about that monitor later, but right now lets see if we can get that virtual terminal working
[04:50] <AndChat> how do i entwr my wpa password in text mode?
[04:50] <izinucs> hmmmmmmmm: could be many things.. maybe turn off acpi on the kernel line.. pci=nomsi on the kernel line... plymouth (boot splash screen) messing up.. nvidia bug.. hard to tell.
[04:50] <Kiba> hmm
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> zhengshi: a better implies a best which simply doesn't exist. Use both for a while and see which YOU like
[04:50] <Dante> Ken8521: If i have a driver for it for linux how can I install it?
[04:50] <Kiba> I can't boot :(
[04:50] <Ken8521> Dante, well it depends on the driver.
[04:50] <Random832> !isitout
[04:50] <Ken8521> Dante, install it per the instructions
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: i'd put more text than that in your question like the stuff I had to get out of you earlier, people are more likely to reply
[04:51] <Dante> Ken8521: the only instructions i have is the ones from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530772
[04:51] <Kiba> ActionParsnip: well, I am dropped into grub rescue prompt
[04:51] <Ken8521> Dante, ok, so follow those.
[04:51]  * Kiba is in general panic
[04:51] <mattcodes> anyone suggest a password manager (for outside of browser) - should have sync ability or at least be dropbox compatible?
[04:51] <sin_tax> The 10.10 installer is very slick, I like that it starts the file loading while you do timezone, etc.
[04:51] <Dante> Ken8521: I was trying to get to that but the folders werent there
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: yes you told me earlier, but if you must repeat then if you give some details right off the bat then you will most likely be helped more
[04:52] <kgunpowder> semitones, you there?
[04:52] <Kiba> ActionParsnip: what information do you want?
[04:52] <semitones> still here
[04:52] <chris8> Hey room... wondering about creating a LAN or cluster with my old tower and my newer one... is this worth it? Mosix?
[04:53] <RabidLockerGnome> Big problem #2: Ubuntu is becoming totally unresponsive when I plug in HDMI. The second I unplug it, it's fine. Any ideas???
[04:53] <Chaos2358>  ok one more question. is ubuntu 10.04 "Debian Sid" or "Debian Woody"??
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: no, when you type a question in here add detail. Instead of "My system won't boot" you could try adding at least some details. You will get more help
[04:53] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, ? neither? it's ubuntu 10.04
[04:53] <Kiba> ActionParsnip: I am using wubi ubuntu
[04:53] <semitones> kgunpowder, after you hear the login drums, try going into the virtual terminal by pressing 'ctrl-alt-f1'
[04:53] <Kiba> and recently upgraded to 10.10
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: my suggestion is to use a different PC to make a bootable USB device / SD card and boot that, or websearch how to give raw commands to grub to make it boot
[04:54] <izinucs> RabidLockerGnome: research xrandr.. it will help redirect video output to the hdmi
[04:54] <Kiba> which um...created a mess out of grub
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: oh dear, wubi really sucks
[04:54] <kgunpowder> semitones I'll give that a shot, this will take me about five minutes or so to boot my PC about three times. So don't leave me here.
[04:54] <Chaos2358> Ken8521 ok sorry for the dumb question i didn't know as i'm only three weeks into using linux/ubuntu
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: may help: http://calamari.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/fixing-a-broken-wubi-grub-after-ubuntu-updates/
[04:54] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, well what exactly are you trying to download?... you should really try to use the package manager
[04:54] <semitones> kgunpowder, alright i'll be here
[04:55] <Kiba> ActionParsnip: the only problem is that I forgot my window password :(
[04:55] <Kiba> hmmm
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> Kiba: ask about that in ##windows then
[04:55] <Dante> How do I log in as root?
[04:55] <Chaos2358> Ken8521 package manager doesnt have what i'm looking for. http://www.technixupdate.com/download-yahoo-messenger-for-ubuntu-linux-with-webcam-voice-chat-photo-sharing-support/ it's supposed to be yahoo messenger
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> Dante: you don't
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | Dante
[04:56] <rcsheets> !root
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> Dante: you dont need to either, you are a member of admin so you can use sudo and gksudo to get admin access
[04:56] <RabidLockerGnome> izinucs: Thanks!
[04:56] <semitones> um guys, do you know if dkpg-reconfigure xservers-xorg is still a viable command for manually configuring graphics?
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> Dante: it makes the system a whole tonne more secure
[04:56] <izinucs> RabidLockerGnome: work?
[04:56] <RabidLockerGnome> googling now, izinucs
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> semitones: not anymore, not since gutsy I believe
[04:56] <izinucs> RabidLockerGnome: good luck..
[04:56] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, hmm, i guess if i was gonna try one of those, I'd try the Jaunty package
[04:57] <RabidLockerGnome> izinucs: Thanks again.
[04:57] <chris8> Hi room... can anyone give me some advice on combining towers? is it worth it? what program to use? Mosix?
[04:57] <Chaos2358> Ken8521 ok thank you
[04:57] <izinucs> RabidLockerGnome: np :)
[04:57] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, hang on a sec...
[04:57] <Chaos2358> ok
[04:57] <semitones> ActionParsnip, ok, in that case, what should I do to help someone who hears the login drums but doesn't see any picture?
[04:57] <Chaos2358> Ken8521 ok
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> semitones: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[04:58] <izinucs> semitones: drop to a tty (ctrl+alt+F2).. log in .. and do a full update with .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ..
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> chris8: can you expand on "combining towers" please
[04:58] <izinucs> semitones: then .. sudo reboot now ..
[04:58] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, hmm, seems the jaunty packages ar emissing.
[04:59] <semitones> izinucs, how much will that help if they're using 10.10?
[04:59] <chris8> Action: through a LAN or cluster... apparently Mosix is one of a few different programs that can sync up different nodes in a cluster
[04:59] <semitones> ActionParsnip, thanks :)
[04:59] <Chaos2358> Ken8521 so i'm guessing there is going to be no way i can get yahoo voice and video chat on ubuntu then
[04:59] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, there has to be an ubuntu package around somewhere
[04:59] <izinucs> semitones: dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade to the next release.. just upgrades current packages to more recent ones if they are available.
[05:00] <mattcodes> I have ~/Dropbox/Books , how I can add this to gnome file manager shortcuts so I dont have to find the folder everytime I want to save this this directory?
[05:00] <obj-c> What's the objective C channel on freenode
[05:00] <Chaos2358> Ken8521 Reason it's so important is my brother and alot of my old squad are still in afghan and all use yahoo vid chat
[05:00] <izinucs> semitones: it's the first think I do to make sure the system is up to date
[05:00] <semitones> izinucs, ok
[05:00] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, yeah, i understand
[05:01] <DavyCave> hello all
[05:01] <chris8> ActionParsnip: guess i'm looking for feedback on running a micro-cluster: forseeable problems and a measure of utility
[05:01] <Chaos2358> Ken8521 i've been searching for two weeks and thats all i can find though. any ideas on where else to look?
[05:01] <DavyCave> can you run an Nvidia 8600GT and a Radeon HD card together on ubuntu 10.04 with full driver support?
[05:01] <Aemaeth> why does xchat for windows ask for $20?
[05:01] <semitones> kgunpowder, are you here now?
[05:01] <grub2sucks> Jordan_U: that worked, thanks!
[05:01] <kgunpowder> semitones, if I press the said keys BEFORE the drums (ie: at a three choice boot selection screen) I get the same as I would in the recovery option, but it only scrolls down as far as kernel_thread_helper or something. AFTER the drums, nothing happens at all.
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> chris8: may help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSP-Cluster
[05:02] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa
[05:02] <chris8> ActionParsnip: Thanks man! Take it easy!
[05:02] <semitones> kgunpowder, ok... hmm... try ctrl-alt-f2, ctrl alt-f3, etc... and see if any of those will give you a virtual terminal and a place to login
[05:03] <izinucs> DavyCave: as long as you hand write the xorg.conf file.. suggestion.. put one card in. install drivers and with nvidia-settings you can get it to write it's info to xorg.conf.. then install the ati and do the same.. combine the two in the correct fashion and you should be good to go.. it won't be easy though..
[05:03] <Dante> is there a default password for su?
[05:03] <semitones> kgunpowder, are you running ubuntu from the live cd by the way?
[05:03] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, can you drag the directory to the bar on the left side of nautilus?
[05:03] <Chaos2358> Ken8521 ok i'm not exactlly sure what that is?
[05:03] <Ken8521> Dante, stop using SU
[05:03] <mattcodes> Aemaeth will try now
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> Dante: no, you can use: sudo -i    and get a root terminal
[05:03] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, PPA repository for gyachi...
[05:03] <kgunpowder> This terminal would look like? Semitones I downloaded 10.10 onto a CD , wouldn't work, so by putting the CD in while running win7, it prompted for an installation apart from the win7 OS, so I took that option.
[05:04] <Chaos2358> ken8521 ok i just saw the gyachi at the bottom
[05:04] <chris8> ActionParsnip: hmmm... not too sure if tha's what I'm looking for... the clusters don't have servers
[05:04] <histo> How do you upgrade 10.04 to 10.10 from cd?
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> Dante: there is no root password and the account is disabled. I can't be any clearer
[05:04] <mattcodes> Aemeath, FFS, it was that simple :) thanks
[05:04] <DavyCave>  izinucs: thanks for the input. Yea its never easy :-\
[05:04] <Chaos2358> Ken8521 thank you so much. you seriouslly dont know how much that means
[05:04] <virtue> Jordan_U: Thanks. I adjusted this internal clock via appending "noapic acpi=off" to the grub boot entry for this OS.
[05:04] <Dante> Ken8521: How do you install NDISWrapper
[05:04] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, i also use dropbox, and i moved a shortcut to the entire dropbox folder to there on nautilus, so that should help you out
[05:04] <Ken8521> Chaos2358, no problem
[05:04] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, great
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> chris8: you can run the system on desktop systems, you will just have X taking up various amounts of ram and cpu
[05:05] <hmmmmmmmm> izinucs: i think this may help, http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/wiki/NVIDIASetup however, don't have anything in the proc folder ... any ideas?  thanks btw
[05:05] <Aemaeth> that link should also make one in your "places" bar on top, but doesn't always show up in every program
[05:05] <semitones> kgunpowder, ok, so when you boot up, do you have a bootloader that lets you choose between windows and ubuntu?
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> chris8: http://fghaas.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/ubuntu-10-04-with-full-cluster-stack-support/
[05:05] <NetUser> hey guys i have a e1550 i did the mode switch and everything worked fine for about 2 hours, now ever time i plug in my device i get the message network dissconnected, even before i try and connect to the network and the internet has stop working
[05:05] <NetUser> any ideas?
[05:05] <chris8> ActionParsnip: gah! totally! thanks!
[05:05] <kgunpowder> semitones, yes, then on the choice of ubuntu I have three other options, normal, recovery, or back to square one
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> chris8: a server is simply a system offering services to other systems
[05:06] <izinucs> hmmmmmmmm: the post says it all.
[05:06] <semitones> kgunpowder, ok... well the virtual terminal would look something like a DOS interface -- just white/gray text on a black screen
[05:06] <chris8> ActionParsnip: i thought in a cluster that all the nodes were "equal"
[05:06] <ActionParsnip> chris8: true, afaik
[05:06] <kgunpowder> semitones, anything to put into that?
[05:06] <mattcodes> clipboard manager? on windoze I use arsclips which stores the last 10 entries, i can do ctrl+alt+z (1..10) and see last ten, recommendation/
[05:06] <histo> ugh you can't upgrade from desktop cd
[05:06] <semitones> kgunpowder, possibly :D first lets see if you can get one
[05:07] <chris8> ActionParsnip: so does one fuction as a server? or do they all do a little bit? :P
[05:07] <ubuntu_> .
[05:07] <semitones> kgunpowder, if not, ActionParsnip found me a link that will help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[05:07] <kgunpowder> semitones, ....taking me step by step I may be new to ubuntu, but not to software! *leaves to do as is told*
[05:07] <chris8> ActionParsnip: thanks for the headsup and the directions! i'm outtie!
[05:07] <Doc1987> I have a aspire 1 532h netbook that had bluetooth capablities when I had windows installed. Now with ubuntu netbook the computer tells me that I don't have a bluetooth adapter installed.
[05:07] <etyrnal_> how do i create a user who can NOT change their password using the GIU?
[05:08] <etyrnal_> GUI^
[05:08] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, screenlets has something like that, and another more native approach i can't remember just now
[05:08] <blakkheim> why would you do that to your poor user :(
[05:08] <etyrnal_> i am a parent
[05:08] <sin_tax> Is there any reason to install 10.04 x64 instead of 10.10 or should I got ahead with maverick?
[05:08] <kgunpowder> semitones, save that, I'm going to try one solution at a time.
[05:08] <kgunpowder> brb semitones
[05:08] <blakkheim> etyrnal_: you can always reset it as root
[05:08] <semitones> kgunpowder, gotcha, good luck
[05:09] <blakkheim> etyrnal_: or even have a cron job that resets it every night
[05:09] <etyrnal_> i don't want to have to
[05:09] <semitones> oh snap
[05:09] <semitones> I didn't realize he couldn't do it at the same time as irc...
[05:09] <killawat-313> hello
[05:09] <killawat-313> is enlightenment considered a desktop environment or a windows manager?
[05:09] <blakkheim> killawat-313: a window manager
[05:10] <etyrnal_> How do i set a user up so that their password can not e changed?
[05:10] <etyrnal_> be^
[05:10] <etyrnal_> (by the user that is)
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> killawat-313: sounds like a WM to me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Enlightenment
[05:11] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, the screenlet thing i'm talking about is called "Copystack" within that program, but i KNOW there's one that you can put just by your clock, someone else in the room will probably know it
[05:11] <killawat-313> so then i would need to install it over and environment right?
[05:11] <etyrnal_> another reason, is because it's a shared account...  a family account...  and i do not want child A being able to accidentally/purposefully change the password
[05:11] <mattcodes> Aemaeth will take a look thanks
[05:11] <etyrnal_> and i don't see why i should have to pass my request for help past an evaluation just to get help?
[05:12] <blakkheim> killawat-313: it usually runs standalone
[05:12] <beilabs> just installed redis on ubuntu 10.04.....server is started, when I go to the web console on http://localhost:6379/ I get -ERR wrong number of arguments-ERR unknown command a number of times, any tips?
[05:12] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, the only reason you wouldn't like the screenlets is 1) it puts it on the desktop  2) it takes a whole nother program just to run
[05:12] <killawat-313> ok thanks
[05:12] <etyrnal_> so, is there a way to set a user's password, and then make it so that user can not change the password?
[05:12] <blakkheim> !repeat | etyrnal_
[05:12] <troy-> if a virtual machine is whole disk encrypted setup in an LVM container - how can i mount the /boot partition without decrypting?
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> killawat-313: it may be able to stand on its own, fluxbox and openbox can do this but from that wiki it sounds like it needs a DE. I've not used E before though
[05:13] <mattcodes> one more question is there an alt+tab (fast) between apps running in different windows, I know I have winkey+A which is pretty fast but quick switching between a and b a global alt+tab?
[05:13] <etyrnal_> i love how people will question my motives for asking for help, but then won't help
[05:13] <meee> how do i install a game thats on a disc?
[05:13] <blakkheim> meee: is it a linux game?
[05:14] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, if you're using compiz, there's all sorts of bindings you can make to do different things, if you are and want more info just ask
[05:14] <izinucs> etyrnal_: not sure exactly how but it has to do with what group the user belongs to..
[05:14] <spotter> updated to maverick, ssh doesn't come up on boot
 its CSS
[05:14] <spotter> this is annoyting as it's a headless box
[05:14] <spotter> can blindly login as root w/ keyboard attached and start /etc/init.d/ssh start
[05:14] <Gnea> spotter: was sshd selected during installation?
[05:14] <spotter> but upstart isn't starting it
[05:14] <spotter> Gnea, upgrade from lucid to maverick
[05:14] <etyrnal_> izinucs: thanks!  a least that's a start...  so You are saying, that as far as You know, it is/may be possible tho?
[05:15] <Digital_1> No don't
[05:15] <Digital_1> Maverick is bumpy
[05:15] <Gnea> spotter: weird. did you check to make sure it's in the runlevels?
[05:15] <zhengshi_> chrome 8.0!
[05:15] <Digital_1> LTS ftw
 ya i think so
[05:15] <doc1987_> can anyone help me with a bluetooth issue im having with ubuntu netbook
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> spotter: log a bug and you can add the command in /etc/rc.local   as a hacky workaround (or mess with the bootup if you wish)
[05:15] <spotter> Gnea, it was uninstalled from /etc/rc2.d
[05:15] <izinucs> etyrnal_: I know it's possible.. user settings are very flexable
[05:15] <mattcodes> i see there is a compiz process running, im on 10.04 ubuntu (gnome) pretty default setup at the moment?
[05:15] <Gnea> spotter: why?
[05:15] <spotter> I have no idea
[05:15] <spotter> I manually update-rc.d it into place
[05:15] <spotter> then dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
[05:15] <Digital_1> Anyone get Gwibber to work with Facebook?
[05:15] <spotter> and it was removed again
[05:15] <Gnea> weird
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> spotter: log a bug
[05:15] <semitones> Digital_1, yep
[05:15] <Prohibited> hello =P
[05:16] <Gnea> spotter: I would just update-rc.d it and leave it at that
[05:16] <Pinna> maverick is bumpy and i'm jumpy for natty.
[05:16] <Gnea> spotter: and file a bug while you're at it
[05:16] <etyrnal_> izinucs: thanks -- that right there is a big help - no i know where to start looking - much appreciated
[05:16] <izinucs> etyrnal_: good luck.. nice project
[05:16] <Digital_1> @semitones Mine just has an authorize button and it does authorize but afterwards  I can't find anything to actually add the account.  Did you have any such troubles with yours?
[05:16] <etyrnal_> so maybe create a group, put that user in it, and then set that group to be unable to change it's pw -- essentially, right?
[05:16] <spotter> Gnea, not a "bug"
[05:16] <spotter> from it's postinst
[05:16] <spotter> emove_old_init_links() {
[05:16] <spotter> it actively does this
[05:16] <FloodBot1> spotter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:17] <Gnea> spotter: if it's not working like it's supposed to be working, it's got a bug
[05:17] <spotter> true
[05:17] <sacarlson> spotter: you can just make a work around untill you find the real problem.  setup a cron @reboot to start a script that waits 30 secounds before it starts it.  I asume it tries to start before the networks is up
[05:17] <spotter> but its doing what it means to do
[05:17] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, alright then, you can install the "compizconfig-settings-manager" and "fusion-icon"  and then open in applications > system tools > the fusion icon for compiz
[05:17] <izinucs> etyrnal_: maybe.. but more like remove membership in the group that allows password changes.
[05:17] <doc1987_> can anyone help me with a bluetooth issue im having with ubuntu netbook
[05:17] <kgunpowder> semitones, I'm on, this has worked so far.
[05:17] <zhengshi_> Will Firefox 4.0 enter 10.10 ?
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> !details | doc1987_
[05:17] <mattcodes> zhengshi, its not out of beta yet so unlikely
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> zhengshi_: if you add the mozilla ppa you can have it now
[05:18] <Gnea> spotter: right, but for a server, I would expect sshd to be working out of the box, particularly if I explicitly told it to be installed at install time
[05:18] <etyrnal_> hmm - the user is in a group named after their own name
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> etyrnal_: thats normal
[05:18] <meee> how do i install an iso file
[05:18] <izinucs> etyrnal_: no.. there are several/many groups that a user belongs to "out of the box"
[05:18] <zhengshi_> I had.. But I doesn't feel it good..
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> etyrnal_: you will also notice the group ownership of $HOME is the username
[05:18] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, i'm on a fresh install too, so we both need to do this..hah
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> meee: you need to mount it then install whatever is inside
[05:18] <sacarlson> spotter: or just modify the ssh-server script to wait some time after boot before it starts
[05:18] <mattcodes> sudo meee, mount -o loop /home/me/download.iso /mount/mydownload
[05:19] <mattcodes> if mount/mydownload doesnt exist do mkdir -p /mount/mydownload
[05:19] <etyrnal_> ActionParsnip: i see that
[05:19] <Lowwe> Anyone know of some virtual machine software that will actually let me use my video card and install drivers for it?
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> mattcodes: meee: the mount point must exist (a mount point will be an empty folder)
[05:19] <etyrnal_> hmmm - not seeing a way to control groups, except for membership
[05:19] <CSSnub> How do I reinstall gconf?
 i mounted it and theres a lot of stuff inside
[05:19] <izinucs> Lowwe: nope.. vm implies vm hardware
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> etyrnal_: why do you prefix stuff with 'hmmm'?
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> meee: cool then do what you need to do with it
[05:20] <mattcodes> Aeamoth, wow. sweet,  loads of things to tweet... :) thanks
 what
[05:20] <mattcodes> tweet -> tweak
[05:20] <Jordan_U> Lowwe: What is your end goal?
[05:20] <twinkie_addict> i noticed like 5 errors when i loged in to cli seem update-notifier was not installed an cpu checker . i installed update-notifier and that fix erros
[05:20] <Lowwe> izinucs: I was planning on having Ubuntu as my main OS, and run Windows in VM for games... I guess i'm screwed here?
[05:20] <izinucs> Lowwe: because the guest doesn't see the actual hardware in the machine but the virtualized hardware provided by the vm software
[05:20] <Lowwe> Jordan_U: ^
[05:20] <AndChat> how do i entwr my wpa password in text mode?
 what do i do with it?
[05:20] <lucent> USB stick creation is hosed due to syslinux incompatibilities, how lovely.
[05:21] <tonysan> how do I execute command in existing desktop session with only cli?
[05:21] <lucent> AndChat: I'm not aware of a way to do this through network-manager and cli
[05:21] <crankharder> after updating all of my packages (including grub), I rebooted and "the symbol grub_puts_ not found"  and I get a grub rescue prompt -- any ideas?
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> etyrnal_: you have an owner with some access, the group ownershi pwith access. You can change the group ownershi pto give different people access to the data, the last access is the rest of the world
[05:21] <spotter> bug filed
[05:21] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, oh yea, my favorite are using the "shift switcher" bound to my left click button at the bottom of the screen to cycle windows in that immediate desktop, and right click for all workspaces,
[05:21] <lucent> tonysan: you need to set SCREEN environment variable
[05:21] <izinucs> Lowwe: well.. 3d with virtualbox is still experimental.. so yea.. most likely
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> meee: well I have no idea what file the iso relates to. "an ISO file" could be the iso of ANYTHING
[05:21] <Jordan_U> Lowwe: You can enable 3D acceleration in VirtualBox, it just doesn't work the way you think / explained.
 its diablo 2
[05:21] <izinucs> Lowwe: dual boot
[05:21] <tonysan> lucent: more hint? my vncserver is not working well...
[05:21] <Lowwe> Hate dual boot
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> Lowwe: you arent going to get full gaming in a VM
[05:22] <lucent> tonysan: trying to remember how to do it, hang on
[05:22] <tonysan> so I need a VNC-less solution
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> meee: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=74
[05:22] <joej323> can anyone provide assistance with install of 10.10 desktop? I keep running into an initramfs error
[05:22] <Jordan_U> tonysan: DISPLAY=:0.0 some-command
[05:22] <Lowwe> ActionParsnip: I've seen it done on a mac
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> meee: it runs in wine
[05:22] <_joe> anyone else have trouble with maverick becoming "theme-less" after installing the binary nvidia drivers?
[05:22] <izinucs> tonysan: remote X?
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> Lowwe: tats mac, it has different support to linux
[05:23] <etyrnal_> ActionParsnip: can i do this through. /System/Administration/Users and Groups?
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> Lowwe: we arent talking about mac here
[05:23] <Aemaeth> mattcodes, with compiz you can make your system as pretty or as dull as you feel fits your needs, obviously a professional setting doesn't need fancy things but you show a non *nix user the cube and they're normally impressed,  although i love my sphere <3
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> etyrnal_: if you like, sure
[05:23] <lucent> tonysan: I messed up, okay it's DISPLAY environment variable
[05:23] <tiox> Funny! I just watched something about WINE-based services online.
[05:23] <Lowwe> ActionParsnip: I know, just stating the fact. It was a mac emulating windows
[05:23] <FyreFoX> hi is upgrading from 9.10 to 10.10 a supported path?
[05:23] <spotter> hmm
[05:23] <spotter> adding ssh to rc2.d didn't help
[05:23] <spotter> still not coming up
[05:23] <lucent> tonysan: your first X11 session will be ':0' which is a shortcut for localhost:0 I think
[05:23] <tonysan> izinucs: well, I use windoze in my office...
[05:23] <lucent> tonysan: export DISPLAY=:0; gedit
[05:23] <spotter> off to login again
[05:23] <lucent> that would run gedit
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> Lowwe: as far as I know you won't get great 3d performance in a VM under linux
[05:24] <Lowwe> ActionParsnip: damn
[05:24] <mattcodes> Aemaeth, probably just for shortcut setup for now although visual aids can definitely help productivity in many circumstances
[05:24] <tiox> Cedega's the best option, paid, CodeWeavers makes CXGames, a good alternative that supports the WINE effort more than Cedega does. PlayOnLinux's free, and if you wanna be ambitious, just go nuts and get WINE.
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> Lowwe: you could ask in ##vbox
[05:24] <lucent> tonysan: requires that your Xauthority file is created and that you have magic MIT cookies set up properly, which they may or may not be
[05:24] <doc1987_> im running ubuntu netbook version 10.04 and when i start up my bluetooth applet does not start. How do I get it to start up?
 i already have the game mounted on my desktop
[05:24] <izinucs> tonysan: remote X over ssh using putty on windows with gtk loaded.. I saw a post once about it after googling
[05:24] <lucent> doc1987_: there's a switch to make it always display or only when connected, are you wanting that?
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> meee: thats fine, launch the setup binary with wine
[05:24] <mattcodes> shortcut to restore a minimized app?
 whats that
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> !wine | meee
[05:25] <FreshPrince> i recently upgrade to  maverick.. is it normal that the font have changed?
[05:25] <doc1987_> lucent: im wanting it to always display
[05:25] <FreshPrince> *upgraded
[05:25] <lucent> FreshPrince: I've heard reports that fonts are changed here and there, it's not "normal" but also it is well known
[05:25] <Jordan_U> FreshPrince: Yes, it's the new font made specifically for Ubuntu.
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> mattcodes: could use alt+tab
[05:25] <FreshPrince> oh
[05:25] <FreshPrince> ok cool :>
[05:25] <Aemaeth> FreshPrince, it changed for me from 10.04
[05:25] <FreshPrince> mine too yes
[05:26] <FreshPrince> well it looks great
[05:26] <lucent> doc1987_: okay, the way I would do it is different than the sane way
[05:26] <tiox> Since the frivolous questions are being asked now, I wanna know: Is there a way to rename the menus in Ubuntu?
[05:26] <mattcodes> ActionParsnip, doh! of course... too much beer last night
[05:26] <Aemaeth> ActionParsnip, now he can make alt-tab do all sorts of neat things :3
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> izinucs: you'll need xming running for the app to stick to
[05:26] <tonysan> izinucs: cygwin/X is pretty old, and I have a very hard time configuring it.
 i have wine and every time i try to run the setup.exe it tells me to insert disc
[05:26] <Jordan_U> tiox: Right click > Edit Menus
[05:26] <lucent> doc1987_: sane way is System > Preferences > Bluetooth [x] Show Bluetooth icon
[05:26] <jfer> hi i was wondering how to select what packages are installed using a preseed file for ubuntu server
[05:26] <tiox> No no, the top-level menu names.
[05:26] <spotter> Gnea, the strangest thing about this
[05:27] <lucent> doc1987_: insane way is install 'dconf-tools' and run dconf-editor to edit the GSettings value manually
[05:27] <spotter> Gnea, the strangest thing about this
[05:27] <tiox> Like, renaming Applications to Start for instance.
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> doc1987_: simply add the command "bluetooth-applet" to your Sessions, log out and log in again
[05:27] <tonysan> lucent: so it is export DISPLAY=:0; gedit
[05:27] <Gnea> ?
[05:27] <spotter> when I nmap the box b4 I login as root and start ssh, no ports are open
[05:27] <doc1987_> lucent: ok...i dont really know if my laptop is supporting bluetooth honestly. it tells me no adapters but when i had windows on this thing it had bluetooth
[05:27] <MACscr> is it easy to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04?
[05:27] <spotter> no services available
[05:27] <Kiba> ack
[05:27] <Jordan_U> MACscr: Yes.
[05:27] <histo> !upgrade | MACscr
[05:27] <spotter> as soon as I start it up and ssh in, a lot of ports become visible
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> mattcodes: alt+tab is sweet :)
[05:27] <Kiba> I am in initramfs
[05:27] <spotter> as one would expect
[05:27] <tonysan> lucent: export DISPLAY=:0; (some command I want to run) ?
[05:27] <spotter> so weird
[05:27] <spotter> guessing upstart dependencies
[05:27] <spotter> but have no idea
[05:27] <tiox> MACser: Don't try it -- Update chronologically for best results.
[05:27] <FloodBot1> spotter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:28] <lucent> tonysan: you need to set DISPLAY env variable so the program knows which X11 session to connect to
[05:28] <spotter> sorry FloodBot1
[05:28] <tiox> At least that's what I read.
[05:28] <Gnea> spotter: are you nmapping locally or remotely?
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> meee: then i'd ask in #winehq  and/or check the link I gave. You may need to mess with winecfg to make it work nice
[05:28] <histo> tiox: MACscr no upgrading from LTS to LTS is find
[05:28] <spotter> remotely (same home lan)
[05:28] <histo> tiox: MACscr s/find/fine
[05:28] <tiox> Oh, LTS to LTS.
[05:28] <Jordan_U> tiox: LTS to LTS is the exception.
[05:28] <tiox> Alright.
[05:28] <lucent> tonysan: in bash commandline the way to do this is 'export DISPLAY=:0'
[05:28] <Gnea> spotter: that's just plain weird.
[05:28] <spotter> yes
[05:28] <yooo> anyone know how to permanently change the MAC address of wlan0?
[05:28] <lucent> semi-colon is just saying end of statement
[05:28] <doogie_> Hi. Can you tell me support channel in russian?
[05:28] <MACscr> huh?
[05:28] <blakkheim> yooo: you can't
[05:28] <tonysan> lucent: oh, it works well, thanks!
[05:28] <histo> !ru | doogie_
[05:28] <spotter> my laptop upgraded fine
[05:28] <blakkheim> yooo: you can only mask it temporarily
[05:28] <Gnea> spotter: have you asked anyone in #ubuntu-server about it yet?
[05:29] <yooo> anyone know how to pseudo-permanently change the MAC address of wlan0?
[05:29] <crankharder> by default does grub get installed to /dev/sda1?
[05:29] <Aemaeth> yooo, i think it resets when you power down, i thought that was kind of hardwired
[05:29] <MACscr> histo: it is easy or it isnt easy. me confused =P
[05:29] <spotter> asking now
[05:29] <histo> MACscr: it is easy
[05:29] <Aemaeth> yooo, you could make a script that sets it every time you boot up though
[05:29] <lucent> yooo: "permanently" ?   would require changing the firmware code on the device, or you can create a udev.d rule which runs mac changing command at boot time
[05:29] <histo> MACscr: you just use the upgrade manager and it will handle it. Or you can download the alternate iso and use that.
[05:29] <tiox> Just gonna make my request clear: How can I rename the top level menus, Applications, Places and System?
[05:29] <yooo> lucent, note my second message
[05:29] <Jordan_U> crankharder: No, by default it gets installed to the mbr, i.e. /dev/sda.
[05:29] <joej323> trying to do a fresh install of 10.10 desktop but keep getting this error: (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid argument    Can no mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on filesystem.squashfs    any help?
[05:29] <Jordan_U> crankharder: You should never install grub to a partition.
[05:29] <lucent> yooo: :)
[05:30] <tiox> Because I highlight it and no option is there.
[05:30] <yooo> Aemaeth, unfortunately I can't write scripts
[05:30] <histo> joej323: did you check the cd to make sure it burned correctly?
[05:30] <tiox> Just new menu or new item.
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> joej323: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded?
[05:30] <doc1987_> lucent: it is telling me i have no adapters installed but when i had windows i had bluetooth on my laptop?
[05:30] <Aemaeth> its not much code...can probably find it on the google
[05:30] <lucent> joej323: sounds like corrupt data on a CD
[05:30] <histo> !md5sum > joej323
[05:30] <spotter> Gnea, one can hear a pindrop there
[05:30] <lucent> doc1987_: too bad about that
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> joej323: did you burn the CD slowly? Did you check the CD for defects?
[05:30] <joej323> i'm installing from a pen drive, previously tried 3 cd's all had same error, md5sum is clean
[05:30] <izinucs> Jordan_U: I think he means like sda vs sdb .. always at the beginning of the drive
[05:31] <lucent> doc1987_: I only know how to tell the bluetooth applet software to be there when a supported bluetooth device is there
[05:31] <Gnea> spotter: yeah, it's like that at sometimes, gotta be patient to get anywhere
[05:31] <lucent> joej323: oh...
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> joej323: check USB consistancy then as well as test ram
[05:31] <yooo> Aemaeth, find what on google? what specifically/
[05:31] <doc1987_> lucent: ah ok..thanks tho
[05:31] <lucent> joej323: what method are you using to make the USB bootable?
[05:32] <histo> killawat-313: it's a window manager
[05:32] <histo> joej323: you can still perform an checksum on usb
[05:32] <Aemaeth> yooo, there are many ways i'm sure, but here's one, http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/changemac
[05:32] <killawat-313> thanks
[05:32] <joej323> used a program to make it bootable, just a moment i'll give you the name... ActionParsnip: already did memtest86+ also came back clean... what do you mean check usb consistancy?
[05:32] <lucent> doc1987_: the output of 'hcitool dev' can show you any supported hci (bluetooth)
[05:32] <spotter> hmm
[05:32] <spotter> my nfs isn't working
[05:33] <histo> yooo: macchanger will work
[05:33] <spotter> can mount, but nothing visible on mounted side
[05:33] <spotter> ewird
[05:33] <lucent> doc1987_: you need to make it so that your bluetooth is working before the software can interact
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> joej323: when the USB boots and you see the stickman screen (just like ytou did for the ram test) you can check USB consistancy there
[05:33] <semitones> ActionParsnip, why is it called the stickman screen?
[05:33] <spotter> hmm, this upgrade was a major failure
[05:33] <doc1987_> lucent: ok
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> semitones: I call it that as there is a little stickman at the bottom of the screen
[05:34] <joej323> ok, program used to make usb bootable was universal usb installer 1.8.05
[05:34] <semitones> oh yeah --- a man and a keyboard?
[05:34] <joej323> correction 1.8.0.5
[05:34] <doc1987_> lucent: so if it comes up blank my guess is its not supported
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> semitones: http://s.linux-mag.com/i/articles/7740/lucid-boot.jpg
[05:34] <lucent> joej323: okay. well, I am discovering problems with bootable USB methods since after 9.04 ISO
[05:35] <semitones> ActionParsnip, yeah -- I assume that's a keyboard next to him :P
[05:35] <Kiba> so my installation is runined
[05:35] <lucent> joej323: that's my project for today too is make it boot from USB
[05:35] <joej323> ActionParsnip: just a note, the memtest was the windows memtest not ubuntu
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> semitones: indeed ;)
[05:35] <Kiba> time for me to get a USB drive
[05:35] <lucent> doc1987_: correct !
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> joej323: i'd try the ubuntu memtest
[05:35] <Jordan_U> semitones: ActionParsnip: It's supposed to mean "Press any key for accessability options", but It took me a few boots to realize that so I guess they didn't do a good job conveying that :)
[05:35] <yooo> histo, permanently?
[05:35] <Kiba> (thankfully, the most improtant part are already somewhere else
[05:35] <Kiba> )
[05:35] <doc1987_> lucent: ok thanks...i was hoping that it had bluetooth wanted to play around with that
[05:35] <peepsalot> i formatted a usb stick for ext4, and now it mounts with root permissions.  how can i make it give me write permission on the root of this drive?
[05:35] <joej323> i don't think it's allowing me to get that far, Action
[05:35] <histo> yooo: not sure you'd have to take a look and try. I don't use it.
[05:35] <semitones> Jordan_U, oh that's what it means :P you cleared up a lot of mystery just there!
[05:35] <jfer> is it possible to select which packages are installed using a preseed file for ubuntu server?
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: yeah, cool huh most people say "oh yeah" when you tell em
[05:36] <jonathan> nautilus search isn't working in maverick :-(
[05:36] <lucent> doc1987_: some laptops disable wifi to enable bluetooth, or they are switched on and off together
[05:36] <lucent> doc1987_: try your switches on your laptop's surface
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: your witness ;)
[05:36] <zebastianortis> i am on lunbuntu
[05:36] <zebastianortis> how do i make nautilus my default manager?
[05:36] <doc1987_> lucent: its a netbook and has no switches
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> zebastianortis: lubuntu, not lunbuntu
[05:37] <zebastianortis> nobody responded to that on lubuntu channel
[05:37] <jeffmiflia> #hackthissite
[05:37] <zebastianortis> ActionParsnip, thanks
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> zebastianortis: lubuntu doesn't ship with nautilus but it can be installed
[05:37] <lucent> doc1987_: you can make a switch with a sharp bowie knife, and repeated stabbing motions? >:-)
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> zebastianortis: pcmanfm is much sleeker
[05:37] <zebastianortis> if i type nautilus on the terminal it works
[05:37] <semitones> zebastianortis, why would you install nautilus on lubuntu though? pcmanfm is so much nicer
[05:37] <histo> zebastianortis: sta I thouht was for the 3g broadcom stuff
[05:37] <histo> zebastianortis: and yes if it aint broke don't fix it
[05:38] <doc1987_> lucent: lol this is true
[05:38] <zebastianortis> nautilus works but it's not default
[05:38] <chandan> how can i install adobe photoshope cs2 in linux
[05:39] <histo> chandan: maybe with wine
[05:39] <ost> hi
[05:39] <histo> !wine > chandan
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> semitones: it doesnt have a lot of the guff which users like (setting up shares) but i think pcmanfm is awesome too
[05:39] <Aemaeth> maybe with virtualbox, histo?
[05:39] <lucent> chandan: 'adobe photoshope cs2' is not supported Ubuntu software
[05:39] <lucent> so... try WINE forums
[05:39] <lucent> and good luck
[05:39] <izinucs> chandan: perhaps using wine.. if you're shooting RAW then look for Darktable .. they have  a PPA to make it easy to install... It's like Lightroom
[05:39] <histo> lucent: or #wine-hq
[05:39] <tortoise7> any of you folks have a working backlight on your keyboard..... and if so, how did you do it?
[05:39] <icarus-c> lucent, in fact, probably no one would support that, not even adobe :P
[05:40] <histo> lucent: or whatever there channel is
[05:40] <icarus-c> adobe says "oh ubuntu? we don't support ubuntu"
[05:40] <semitones> ActionParsnip, yeah that's true... I guess it's still more lightweight to have lxde and nautillus than gnome and nautillus
[05:40] <lucent> icarus-c: you make me laugh in recognition of the truth. :)
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> zebastianortis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463008&page=2
[05:40] <icarus-c> ubuntu says "oh adobe*? we don't support adobe software"
[05:40] <Jordan_U> tortoise7: Yes, and it Just Worked™ for me.
[05:40] <Aemaeth> adobe should /mostly/ be supported
[05:40] <Aemaeth> no?
[05:40] <histo> Aemaeth: not in linux
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> Aemaeth: adobe are evil
[05:40] <Aemaeth> why do i have adobe air? i'm confused
[05:40] <icarus-c> Aemaeth, does ubuntu support microsoft?
[05:40] <Gwar> How can i remove certain programs from the Indicator Applet in the pannel? Atm I have Sound, Transmission and Rhythembox that I want to keep but an Envelope thing with pidgin that I don't.
[05:41] <doc1987_> lucent: maybe you can help me...im taking a networking class in school and looking for cool and useful networking programs for ubuntu...any you know of?
[05:41] <zhengshi_> Where to download default Windows 7 theme file?
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> Aemaeth: its closd source proprietary stuff
[05:41] <semitones> Gwar, nobody likes the envelope thing :P
[05:41] <tortoise7> Jordan_U: works for me at preboot.... but NOT after..... toshiba satellite laptop
[05:41] <Gwar> semitones: HOW DO I KILL IT! :'(
[05:41] <semitones> Gwar, if somebody tells you how, I will be all ears :D
[05:41] <Gwar> D:
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> zhengshi_: http://www.redmondpie.com/windows-7-transformation-pack-for-ubuntu-linux-cid346/
[05:41] <lucent> hey, right click "Remove From Panel" No?
[05:41] <icarus-c> Gwar, indicator applet? you mean  "notification area" where some tray icons of apps are displayed?
[05:41] <semitones> lucent, that also removes other stuff though
[05:42] <lucent> oh and so you're right
[05:42] <histo> Gwar: exit the apps.  also go to system > preferences > session to stop them from starting on log in
[05:42] <Aemaeth> ActionParsnip, i know it's evil, but i was pretty sure i had something...maybe that's a different company i'm thinking of
[05:42] <icarus-c> Gwar, you need to dig into the particular app to make it not to show a tray icon
[05:42] <zhengshi_> ActionParsnip Thank you:)
[05:42] <joej323> just out of curiosity: who is here trying to install linux because they're fed up with windows? lol
[05:42] <Gwar> icarus-c: There are two. One has things like Pidgin, Skype and Teamspeak. And the other has Transmission Sound Preffs and the Envelope thing
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> zhengshi_: all I did was websearch (good ol bing)
[05:42] <Gwar> The tray thing is not the same as the one transmission uses
[05:42] <histo> joej323: I was about 6 years ago
[05:42] <lucent> joej323: 10+ years ago I did
[05:42] <Aemaeth> bing's not old!
[05:42] <icarus-c> Gwar, mind to post a screenshot?
[05:42] <Gwar> I cant remove the one transmission uses without remnoving transmission!
[05:42] <histo> Gwar: it's the ntofication area
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> Aemaeth: they make some linux apps but their product range is aimed mainly at windows and max
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> mac
[05:43] <Tac_Home> under 10.04 on my netbook, my additional LCD always worked fine to span both.... now it seems I can only get one to work at a time with 10.10 after upgrading.  is there anything I can do?
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> Tac_Home: log a bug
[05:43] <joej323> histo, lucent, you guys moved at the right time lol
[05:43] <Gwar> histo: There are two kinds. One is Notification area, and one is Indicator Applet
[05:43] <histo> !dualview | Tac_Home
[05:43] <lucent> Tac_Home: play with 'xrandr' on the commandline?
[05:43] <histo> Tac_Home: is it an nvidia card?
[05:43] <Gwar> Pidgin is showing under this envelope thing in the indicator applet and I don't want it too :'( but there is only an option to remove it from the notification area in pidgin
[05:44] <icarus-c> Gwar, in Transmission : Edit -> Desktop -> untick Show transmission icon in the notification area
[05:44] <Tac_Home> histo, I got no message
[05:44] <Tac_Home> lucent, no
[05:44] <Tac_Home> histo, checking
[05:44] <histo> Tac_Home: yeah I know wrong trigger
[05:44] <histo> Tac_Home: lspci | grep VGA
[05:44] <easy_enemy> hello
[05:44] <Gwar> icarus-c: I WANT transmission there. I want to get rid of this envelope thing, and Pidgin has no option for it so It has to be an option for the indicator
[05:44] <Tac_Home> histo, intel
[05:45] <Tac_Home> histo, it's an acer aspire one
[05:45] <histo> Gwar: the enelope is empathy
[05:45] <semitones> Gwar, try opening up evolution and seeing if there's an option there
[05:45] <Tac_Home> histo, everything was fine in 10.04, and I never needed to do anything ....
[05:45] <semitones> Gwar, because afaik, the envelope belongs to the evolution mail suite
[05:45] <histo> Tac_Home: ughh yeah you'd have to play with xrandr or something to see what works
[05:45] <Gwar> Aha! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
[05:45] <Ken8521> Gwar, i believe.. it's called indicator-me...
[05:45] <semitones> rofrl
[05:45] <histo> Tac_Home: the intel video drivers change then probably
[05:45] <Ken8521> in synaptic
[05:45] <Aemaeth> pidgin shows up in my notification area
[05:45] <Guest75652> sh: inxi: not found
[05:45] <zebastianortis> yeah thats a link to choose how you log in
[05:46] <zebastianortis> i only have lubuntu and i have nautilus
[05:46] <Tac_Home> histo, that's a pretty big suck, eh?
[05:46] <zebastianortis> i want nautilus to be the default  fm
[05:46] <Tac_Home> histo, what's xrandr
[05:46] <Ken8521> Gwar, sorry, i just checked, it's indicator-messages
[05:46] <histo> Tac_Home: well i'm sure there is a way to get it working. I don't ahve the same card to test.  xrandr allows you to apply settings on the fly
[05:46] <Gwar> Ken8521: Thank you so much!
[05:46] <Ken8521> Gwar, no prob.
[05:46] <histo> !xrandr | Tac_Home
[05:46] <Gwar> semitones: I HAVE t3h ANSWER! :P
[05:47] <Ken8521> and to get Pidgin in the panel, is in the tools/preferences on your buddy list
[05:47] <Gwar> semitones: remove indicator-messages :P
[05:47] <icarus-c> zebastianortis, i have a feeling that by the time you run nautilus on lxde, you are using more resources than a plain GNOME
[05:47] <Ken8521> one of hte tabs is "show pidgin in system tray... change to always"
[05:47] <Gwar> ya I have it there already :)
[05:47] <Gwar> I just coulnt get rid of the stupid envelope! :P
[05:47] <zebastianortis> icarus-c, i am running nautilus on lxde and it's working
[05:47] <zebastianortis> it works well that is
[05:48] <icarus-c> zebastianortis, i'm talking about resource consumption, not work or not
[05:48] <Ken8521> Gwar, it used to belong to evolution, but that changed when Ubuntu tried to integrate everything
[05:48] <Aemaeth> Gwar, i used to hate it too, but then pidgin started crashing on me, so i like it through necessity
[05:48] <Ken8521> Aemaeth, really? no probs at all w/ pidgin here
[05:48] <Aemaeth> Ken8521, yea, it might have been my setup, or it was conflicting, i'm sure it's not worldwide or anything
[05:48] <icarus-c> zebastianortis, nautilus would load lots of gnome stuff, on top of lxde
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> Aemaeth: tried the pidgin ppa?
[05:49] <besson3c> Guys, I installed a bunch of standard updates on my Ubuntu 10.04 system, and now when I boot I get errors about the UUID not being found... The UUID in my menu.lst file was not set to the UUID of my /boot partition for some reason, but even when making this switch I'm still getting this error. Why would an update mess around with Grub this way, and do you have any suggestions for restoring my ability to boot the system?
[05:49] <Aemaeth> ActionParsnip, i might do that later, but now i'm on the empathy train
[05:49] <icarus-c> besson3c, menu.lst ?..
[05:49] <Ken8521> Aemaeth, ugh.. i just can't get on that train..
[05:50] <besson3c> icarus: my /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:50] <Sam_Fisher> Howdy ya'll!
[05:50] <Aemaeth> and could it have been something like the facebook plugin slowing it down? that always seems to be buggy anyhow, what you get for using facebook to chat
[05:50] <joej323> ok so i haven't tried it yet, but it seems that the universal usb installer was automatically loading the corrupt download (that i didn't delete for some reason) onto the pen drive which is why i was getting that error... about to give it another shot... wish me luck!!!
[05:50] <icarus-c> besson3c, so you have been using grub 0.97 instead of grub2 ?
[05:50] <Aemaeth> joej323, that sounds like the reason it would be corrupt
[05:50] <kevin_> does anyone have the link of .debs for the different wine packages? I can't find it
[05:51] <Ken8521> kevin_, why not use synaptic or apt-get?
[05:51] <joej323> Aemath, I know, right? windows is starting to make me look like an idiot.... LOL
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> besson3c: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644773    shows how you can chroot and remove the UUIDs and change them to raw devices instead
[05:51] <Tac_Home> histo, ubottu, xrandr got both screens showing stuff.... so I might be getting somewhere... is there a GUI available to help configure it? right now it lays each display on top of the other, so I don't really have an expanded desktop and all the options look painful
[05:51] <kevin_> Ken8521, can't get 1.3.3 on synaptic. only lets me do 1.2
[05:51] <Aemaeth> joej323, for future reference, unetbootin can download the image for you (not 10.10 last i saw though)
[05:51] <besson3c> icarus: evidently... I've been using this system for a while now w/o a clean install - several versions of Ubuntu. Did an update break grub 0.97? How do I replace the old grub with teh new one?
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> kevin_: add the wine ppa
[05:51] <kevin_> ActionParsnip, I did that as well
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> kevin_: then if you run: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search wine   you should see it
[05:52] <Aemaeth> with windows i have no problem booting, everything else is disgusting, in linux everything's great, but often have boot issues...
[05:52] <Jordan_U> besson3c: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[05:52] <Ken8521> kevin_, i just added the wine ppa repository to ubuntu, and it installed 1.3 just fine
[05:52] <kevin_> ha, forgot to do the update. thank you ActionParsnip
[05:52] <Aemaeth> i dont' even have a windows partition anymore, but it seems like they got that one part correct
[05:53] <kevin_> Ken8521, got it, thx ;)
[05:53] <histo> Tac_Home: I'm not too familiar with xrandr but youc an apt-cache search xrandr  see if there is anything else like a gui availible
[05:53] <joej323> Aemath: yeah i've heard about it but I'm deployed in Afghanistan right now, so the internet blows... i can only do a direct download with flashget for some reason... but I'm off to try the "new" pen drive
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> kevin_: yep you need to tell the package system to refresh the lists ;)
[05:53] <icarus-c> besson3c, we have been using grub2 for a while. it wouldn't be surprising if newer updates break grub1.   you may use grub2 instead, or simply just fix the existing grub
[05:53] <kevin_> ActionParsnip, learn something new everyday ;)
[05:53] <mikeru> hey, I installed maverick on a hp pavilion dv5
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> kevin_: every day is a school day
[05:53] <mikeru> it was good seeing that ethernet and wifi work out of the box now
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: no sound though?
[05:54] <Aemaeth> wow, resorting to flashget is brave enough, and plus he's in afghanistan
[05:54] <mikeru> ActionParsnip, no. It's actually a very minor problem
[05:54] <jonathan> how do I disable the gnome keyring asking me to re-enter my password every login??
[05:54] <mikeru> that is, if you're not epileptic
[05:54] <Ken8521> mikeru, what sound device does the HP have?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: nice, ive seen no end of hp dv5 owners with sound badness
[05:54] <mikeru> NO SOUND ISSUES
[05:54] <kevin_> ActionParsnip, yup
[05:54] <mikeru> huh
[05:54] <icarus-c> besson3c, boot up from livecd, run command "blkid"  to find out the UUID of your root file system (or other as well).  then match it with /etc/fstab & the grub entry
[05:54] <Ken8521> mikeru, oh ok.
[05:54] <AK3> Nice
[05:55] <izinucs> besson3c: blkid needs sudo to run.. so .. sudo blkid
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> jonathan: if you set a blank password for the key it will go, or you can mess with some extra packages and pam
[05:55] <mikeru> Ken8521, ATI Technologies Inc RS780 Azalia controller
[05:55] <histo> Ken8521: did yuou get your sound working?
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> mikeru: ok, whats up with your ATi?
[05:55] <mikeru> thing is, the wifi drivers are mistaking the wifi toggle for a wifi indicator of the sorts
[05:55] <Ken8521> histo, i had my sound working in alpha3...lol... just took a little googling
[05:55] <wassail_> exit
[05:55] <mikeru> it's supposed to be blue when on and red when off
[05:55] <wassail_> exit
[05:55] <mikeru> and touching it would toggle it
[05:55] <Ken8521> histo, not to mention, resorting to an old gutsy gibbon trick
[05:56] <mikeru> but instead touching it nothing happens
[05:56] <sweetpi> izinucs: since when does blkid need sudo?
[05:56] <histo> Ken8521: Oh nvm I thought you were the one experiencing the bug before. Didn't mean to get you confused with someone else
[05:56] <jonathan> ActionParsnip: how do I change the password?
[05:56] <mikeru> and it constantly changes between blue and red when there's traffic!
[05:56] <Ken8521> histo, nope, was trying to get some info to give some suggestions
[05:56] <mikeru> like a HDD light, wifi style
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> sweetpi: try it without, noting will be output
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> sweetpi: its always been like that
[05:56] <mikeru> now, it's incredibly distracting and it alternates extremely fast
[05:56] <mikeru> gives me headaches
[05:57] <sweetpi> ActionParsnip: I just did, and it listed everything as normal
[05:57] <llutz_> ActionParsnip: no, blkid never needed sudo before
[05:57] <besson3c> icarus: how do I fix grub 0.97, just so that I have enough info to make that decision? The other error I'm getting is "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured". Is this related? I just replaced the UUID reference in my grub menu.lst file with /dev/sda1, and now at boot I'm getting "alert /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell". This isn't true - I can mount /dev/sda1 from my rescue CD
[05:57] <n-iCe_> hello, there are no sources.lists in 10.10?
[05:57] <furi> is there a support channel for wine, or should i ask here?
[05:57] <Ken8521> !wine | furi
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> sweetpi:  llutz_: http://pastie.org/1217425
[05:58] <furi> Ken8521: thanks.
[05:58] <Ken8521> furi, your best bet is #wine
[05:58] <furi> Ken8521: alright. thanks again.
[05:58] <n-iCe_> hello, there are no sources.lists in 10.10?
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> n-iCe_: i have one in my clean install
[05:58] <mikeru> Ken8521, #winehq.
[05:58] <mattcodes> is virtualbox the best performance for hosting a windows vm? host: ubuntu 10.04 guest (probably): win7 32bit 1.5gb memory with vs 2010 / resharper
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> n-iCe_: want mine?
[05:58] <Jordan_U> besson3c: Can you mount /dev/sda1 from the busybox shell?
[05:58] <mikeru> Ken8521, #wine is invite only anyway
[05:58] <n-iCe_> /etc/apt/sources.lists right?
[05:58] <llutz_> ActionParsnip: yes starting with 10.10 , blkid never needed sudo before
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> n-iCe_: yes
[05:59] <besson3c> Jordan_U: how would I do that from the busybox shell? mount /dev/sda1?
[05:59] <Ken8521> mikeru, usually it redirects to winehq
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> llutz_: this is a clean install with the beta, upgraded to RC
[05:59] <n-iCe_> i hae nothing there
[05:59] <Jordan_U> besson3c: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
[05:59] <sweetpi> ActionParsnip: "ls -al /sbin/blkid" ?
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> n-iCe_: http://pastebin.com/TbVzkN7U
[05:59] <llutz_> ActionParsnip: listen: there was no need for sudo before.
[05:59] <besson3c> Jordan_U: I'll try that... If I can't, what woudl that tell me?
[05:59] <icarus-c> besson3c, i would try a update-initramfs -u  in chroot using livecd
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> sweetpi: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22164 2010-03-22 17:51 /sbin/blkid
[05:59] <llutz_> ActionParsnip: before 10.10
[06:00] <Firartix> hey
[06:00] <Firartix> got a question
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> llutz_: i can only show what my system says. I call it as I see it
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: ask away
[06:00] <llutz_> ActionParsnip: you don't get me
[06:00] <besson3c> icarus: what does that command do?
[06:00] <Firartix> i'm trying to upgrade, and the installer wanna remove 25 packets + 40 "unneeded" ones
[06:00] <Firartix> assuming i click on "Keep" instead of "Remove"
[06:00] <Jordan_U> besson3c: That it's a kernel problem, more specifically than that it's hard to tell without more info.
[06:00] <Alagar1> any one can help me. how to receive emails from multiple domain in sendmail and postfix
[06:01] <Firartix> will it only remove the 25 and keep the 40 others ?
[06:01] <Firartix> or will it instead not remove any and cause stuff to break :/
[06:01] <besson3c> Jordan: the error I'm getting is "mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt failed: no such file or directory"
[06:02] <sweetpi> ActionParsnip: I've never needed sudo to use blkid, maybe its new on 10.10?
[06:02] <llutz_> Alagar1: read the fine documentation at postfix.org, ask at #postfix for more info after you've done it
[06:02] <llutz_> sweetpi: it is new on 10.10
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: its just cleaning up the old obsoleted packages for you. I'd go for it. You can always reinstall stuff once you reboot
[06:02] <icarus-c> besson3c, the kernel couldn't find your disk, maybe missing some modules/drivers in the early boot stage. initramfs provides modules to kernel at early boot
[06:02] <sweetpi> llutz_: ah ok
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> sweetpi: no idea, had to do it in lucid, its no biggy
[06:02] <bazhang> !blkid
[06:02] <Kraken__> just after the boot in, the kde is already occupying 600 mb of my 1gb.. is gnome lighter?
[06:02] <llutz_> sweetpi: whyever they changed that
[06:02] <bazhang> that predates 10.10
[06:02] <Firartix> Action: yea that's what i thought too but there's stuff that seem "useful" too :s
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> bazhang: thanks
[06:02] <icarus-c> Kraken__, i think yes
[06:03] <Firartix> like uh
[06:03] <Firartix> well nvm XD
[06:03] <AK3> can you mask root filesystem as something else while at the same time use true crypt ?
[06:03] <sweetpi> bazhang: I'm not trying to pick.. just saying every box I've used with ubuntu on it has never needed sudo for blkid
[06:04] <Kraken__> ok... icarus-c, thanks... but i think i will install xubuntu instead
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> sweetpi: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=blkid   shows it last modified in 2007 which is gutsy
[06:04] <besson3c> On a totally different note, not to derail my own solution seeking, but while I wait for the liveCD to boot, I've struggled for ages with my VIA ethernet controller and various Ubuntu kernels (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/454747)... I see some of you are running 10.10... Is this problem fixed there? :)
[06:04] <semitones> thanks Gwar
[06:04] <icarus-c> AK3, linux got an infrastructure called LUKS. it support encrypted rootfs
[06:05] <AK3> THX
[06:06] <kevingp17> hello
[06:06] <AK3> elo
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> hi kevingp17
[06:07] <kevingp17> this is a ubuntu chat room for help right?
[06:07] <Firartix> ughhh that new launcher bar is kind of odd
[06:08] <Ryen> kevingp17: Yes.
[06:08] <kevingp17> ok then ill come by tom and as a question
[06:08] <doc1987_> anyone know any good internet browsers?
[06:08] <kevingp17> im kind of sleepy right now
[06:08] <kevingp17> chrome
[06:08] <kevingp17> opera and frefox
[06:08] <icarus-c> doc1987_, firefox, opera, chromium
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> !browser
[06:08] <mattcodes> doc1987_ firefox
[06:08] <Firartix> minefield
[06:08] <Firartix> :°
[06:08] <Chingalink> hi
[06:08] <Chingalink> BUN BOONTOO
[06:08] <mattcodes> IE6
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> also arora is groovy
[06:09] <icarus-c> and midori :D
[06:09] <Firartix> mmh
[06:09] <Firartix> chrome can't run?
[06:09] <icarus-c> Firartix, your problem?
[06:09] <Firartix> ?
[06:09] <mattcodes> chronium I think its call on linux
[06:09] <icarus-c> mattcodes, nah
[06:09] <icarus-c> chromium is the project.    chrome is the product from google
[06:10] <Firartix> oh
[06:10] <icarus-c> like Namorako  vs  Mozilla firefox 3.6
[06:10] <mattcodes> sorry, my bad, I seen a screencast with Chronmium Web Browser in Ubuntu the other day that was all
[06:10] <llutz_> !info chromium-browser
[06:10] <icarus-c> technically similar (if not same code),  but different brand name & trademark
[06:11] <replicasex> icarus-c, would chromium be able to do the bookmark syncing?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> icarus-c: chromium is the bleeding edge browser name
[06:11] <icarus-c> replicasex, yes.
[06:11] <icarus-c> ActionParsnip, that is because it is where chrome development lies in?
[06:11] <Mossyfunk> How do i find out from CLI when a file was created?
[06:11] <replicasex> icarus-c, any particular pluses to using chromium over chrome?
[06:11] <AK3> icarus -c : How do you protect your code ?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> icarus-c: Chromium is the open source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code   so yep :)
[06:12] <icarus-c> apparently chrome take a snapshot from chromium from time to time
[06:12] <quiescens> there isn't technically a creation date
[06:12] <morpheuspr> what r the main diferences between lucid and maverick??
[06:12] <llutz_> Mossyfunk: you can't on ext-fs (yet)
[06:12] <icarus-c> AK3, what do you mean?
[06:12] <replicasex> morpheuspr, sound menu is different, I think someone said X was different, not much really.
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> morpheuspr: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat-has-been.html
[06:13] <morpheuspr> ActionParsnip, thanks :)
[06:13] <Mossyfunk> llutz, bummer =(
[06:13] <icarus-c> ubuntu 10.10 uses xorg 1.9 right?
[06:13] <AK3> icarus -c : Do you code if you do how do you protect your code from others stealing it ?
[06:13] <AK3> icarus -c : What Crypto ?
[06:13] <icarus-c> current nvidia driver is unhappy with xorg 1.9 :(
[06:14] <icarus-c> AK3, you mean after you compile or the original source code?
[06:14] <besson3c> thanks for your help, guys... I fixed things by upgrading to grub2
[06:14] <morpheuspr> i think im staying with lucid
[06:14] <Mossyfunk> What about ufs?
[06:14] <AK3> icarus -c : Correct
[06:14] <replicasex> icarus-c, my system has been randomly freezing, going to put it up to nvidia.
[06:14] <AK3> icarus -c : compile your own work
[06:15] <icarus-c> AK3, no idea. i don't do commercial software development,
[06:15] <icarus-c> AK3, maybe use a obfuscator?
[06:15] <levi_> hi and good morning
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> hi levi_
[06:15] <mtk31> anybody knows how can I use  bigger resolution on my netbook using ubuntu 10.10 ?
[06:15] <levi_> i'm trying to build up a connection to a vpn with openvpn on ubuntu 10.04 . this is my command on the commandline and i'm getting the following output... http://privatepaste.com/b38b9aa16a    on windows i use the astaro vpn-client... i've got an .ovpn file too, but i don't know how to use it or even if i can use it in openvpn
[06:15] <AK3> icarus -c : no clue what that is
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> mtk31: depends on the video chip
[06:16] <AK3> icarus -c : sounds like the flux capacitor
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> !vpn | levi
[06:16] <mtk31> ak3 I know it but in windows I can do it with atray soft
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> mtk31: lspci | grep -i vga     will show what it is
[06:16] <levi_> ActionParsnip: do you know if i can use the astaro vpn files ?
[06:17] <icarus-c> AK3, to protect the compiled code. i heard that to obfuscate the code, then compile.  it will make the binary soo hard for human to understand
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> levi_: no idea, i dont use vpn
[06:17] <llutz_> AK3: why should one protect source-code? go and read a bit about open-source software and some licenses
[06:17] <Lanks> i installed some packages in synaptic package manager and it seems to be stuck in the "installing software" window. How can I force it to close or finish safely?
[06:17] <mtk31> it have 1024*600 but in windows i use atray soft and i can change the resolution to 1024*768
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Lanks: if you open a terminal and run:  top     you can see if its working
[06:17] <chriswaterguy> My friend here is trying to run/install Lucid from USB on a netbook. Getting a "can not mount" error. Any tips on next steps?
[06:18] <icarus-c> AK3, and to protect the uncompiled/unpublished source, disk/file encryption and if possible avoid local storage and  use remote file server instead
[06:18] <AK3> llutz_: your not that cool guy
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> mtk31: those are windows things so don't matter here
[06:18] <morpheuspr> the 10.10 Unity for netbooks looks amazing
[06:18] <AK3> icarus-c: thx
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> mtk31: if you can give the output of the command we can progress
[06:18] <killawat-313> Lanks; type xkill in a terminal
[06:18] <icarus-c> llutz_, there are just so many reasons to be close source .. especially in commercial software dev
[06:18] <AK3> icarus-c: ok let re phrase
[06:19] <morpheuspr> anyone using compiz what settings r the ones on compiz that u can with one button get all your open windows in one workspace??
[06:19] <AK3> icarus-c: If you did your own designs you would intrust another re4mote server ?
[06:19] <Lanks> killawat-313: didnt work...
[06:19] <mtk31> mtk31@mtk31-laptop:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
[06:19] <mtk31> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[06:20] <Lanks> ActionParsnip: synaptic is in there but what am I looking for in particular?
[06:20] <soreau> morpheuspr: #compiz
[06:20] <soreau> ! u | morpheuspr
[06:20] <icarus-c> AK3, assuming the server is trusted and secure of course. that protect your code if your computer is stolen
[06:20] <killawat-313> Lanks:i would just logout and log back in then
[06:20] <mtk31> I looking for some soft like astray for linux or any command ...
[06:20] <icarus-c> disk encryption is probably sufficient, but just being paranoid
[06:20] <AK3> mtk31: atray soft ? Encryption better than PGP or true crypt ?
[06:20] <icarus-c> mtk31, what does atray do
[06:20] <Lanks> killawat-313: ok
[06:20] <morpheuspr> ??
[06:21] <sin_tax> I went from this http://i.imgur.com/S4ibu.jpg to this http://i.imgur.com/gd3fp.png - I should be in an Ubuntu commercial.
[06:21] <levi_> hm?
[06:21] <levi_> hi again
[06:21] <levi_> where does the network-manager saves his configuration files?
[06:21] <replicasex> sigh, I thin I'm subject to the horrible nvidia driver clash in maverick
[06:21] <replicasex> think*
[06:21] <besson3c> guys, what is the latest kernel version in 10.04? 2.6.32-25-generic?
[06:21] <icarus-c> sin_tax, eh... my friend, your IE being like that is because you install toolbars blindly :-o
[06:21] <mtk31> icarus-c atray soft help me to change resolution from 1024*600 to 1024*768
[06:22] <sin_tax> icarus-c, nah, I bought a used laptop
[06:22] <icarus-c> mtk31, xrandr command,  or resolution/montor settings somewhere in System
[06:22] <icarus-c> sin_tax, lol it got a great ex-user
[06:22] <sin_tax> $150 for a 17" dual core 2.0 / 2GB... good deal imo.  She said it was slow ;-)
[06:23] <icarus-c> sin_tax, what cpu model ?
[06:23] <sin_tax> AMD 64 X2
[06:23] <icarus-c> sin_tax, damn... it is like a good warrior
[06:23] <furan> hio
[06:24] <furan> is there a known issue with vaio P's and EHCI setup not going well on 10.10?
[06:24] <icarus-c> sin_tax, isn't it like flying?
[06:24] <Sayo> hey everyone
[06:25] <killawat-313> Sayo: hey
[06:25] <Lanks> killawat-313: hey i logged out and now when I try to start synaptic package mgr I get "Unable to get exclusive lock"
[06:25] <sin_tax> icarus-c, yeah. It is running very nicely on 10.10
[06:26] <killawat-313> Lanks: use the terminal and type top
[06:26] <icarus-c> sin_tax, oh wait. did she NOT purging her data before selling to you :-o
[06:27] <sin_tax> icarus-c, nope
[06:27] <peepsalot> so, i just installed 64bit to replace 32bit maverick, and tried to keep my home data.  the weird thing is, i did an update, installed a few packages, rebooted and now my interface is really ugly, it's not using the correct icons for the set theme, etc
[06:27] <sin_tax> Tax returns and everything were on there.
[06:27] <killawat-313> Lanks: tell me if you see synaptic in the list provided
[06:27] <peepsalot> changing the theme won't even change the icons
[06:27] <doc1987_> how do i change the name that appears on networks for my linux laptop
[06:27] <icarus-c> peepsalot, do you have the theme you were using installed?
[06:27] <Lanks> killawat-313: no it isnt...
[06:27] <AK3> Nvidia ? Is that the r00t h00k
[06:28] <solidus-river> i need to reconfigure proftp but dpkg-reconfigure proftpd isn't working.. :\
[06:28] <peepsalot> icarus-c, i'm pretty sure i was using the default stuff
[06:28] <icarus-c> doc1987_, edit /etc/hostname  &  hostname command
[06:28] <doc1987_> icarus-c: thanks
[06:29] <icarus-c> doc1987_, and edit /etc/hosts  to map the new hostname to 127.0.0.1 too
[06:29] <killawat-313> Lanks: because the program might be stuck u might have to wait a while before it shows up
[06:29] <h00k> AK3: what
[06:29] <Tac_Home> histo, ubottu, no amount of tweaking is getting me past both desktops laying on top of one another.... something maybe about a virtual desktop size?  I just wish I could go back to 10.04 so this all worked :-/  I can't work on just my netbook screen like this
[06:29] <peepsalot> the gnome ui is defaulting to some really really basic square looking stuff, not smooth looking at all.
[06:29] <AK3> h00k: Captain
[06:30] <histo> Tac_Home: you can go back to 10.04 it's free just like 10.10
[06:30] <doc1987_> icarus-c: thanks
[06:30] <icarus-c> peepsalot, GNOME's default? that leaf background, and clear looks ? :-S
[06:30] <replicasex> Is canonical really considering using gnome-shell as the default soon?
[06:30] <peepsalot> the wallpaper is the purple ubuntu one, but maybe it is clear looks, let me see
[06:31] <Tac_Home> histo, is there an easy way to do that?
[06:31] <Firartix> hey guys got a silly question about the new notebook sidebar
[06:31] <Firartix> assuming i got something running already and i wanna launch a separate instance
[06:31] <Tac_Home> histo, or is this potentially something that will work again soon like it used to?
[06:31] <icarus-c> peepsalot, well the default you see on ubuntu is not GNOME's original default
[06:31] <Firartix> well, how to do it XD ?
[06:32] <Firartix> i mean
[06:32] <Firartix> is there any other way to do this
[06:32] <peepsalot> icarus-c, i know how it's supposed to look, i have another computer with ubuntu installed, something got messed up somehow
[06:32] <Firartix> than using in-app "create new window/terminal/whatever" ?
[06:32] <icarus-c> Firartix, hit alt-f2  and enter the app name
[06:32] <Firartix> ><
[06:32] <krogers0001> is there an irc channel for beginners?
[06:32] <icarus-c> krogers0001, of what
[06:32] <krogers0001> ubuntu
[06:33] <joej323> ok, folks, i'm on the live disk right now... have a few questions about installing alongside windows 7
[06:33] <Guest91145> sh: inxi: not found
[06:33] <icarus-c> krogers0001, this channel is fine
[06:33] <krogers0001> ok
[06:33] <AK3> krogers0001: yea irc.distrust.us #r00tsecurity
[06:33] <icarus-c> joej323, ubuntu should automatically detect windows and setup dual boot
[06:33] <joej323> first, what file system do i use. second, where do i need to install the boot loader?
[06:34] <Sayo> AK3, lol
[06:34] <icarus-c> joej323, install boot loader to MBR
[06:34] <icarus-c> joej323, and make sure you don't overwrite windows partition wrongly
[06:34] <joej323> icaru-c: i chose manual because it wasn't detecting the partition i wanted to install to
[06:34] <Sayo> so i just installed linux
[06:34] <Sayo> it looks like i don't even have to learn bash anymore
[06:34] <icarus-c> Sayo, you mean ubuntu ?
[06:34] <Sayo> the hell happened
[06:34] <AK3> Sayo: just saying , you know that its a real irc old school channel ;)
[06:34] <Sayo> icarus-c, no i mean linux. period.
[06:35] <coppro> my sound broke when upgrading. What's the form response this time around?
[06:35] <joej323> i assume that i would install boot loader to /dev/sda1 Windows 7 (loader)?
[06:35] <icarus-c> Sayo, if you just boot linux, it will go kernel panic right after init :P
[06:35] <icarus-c> linux is just the kernel
[06:35] <Sayo> icarus-c, lol fair point
[06:35] <Sayo> i meant to differentiate between this not only being a fresh unr install,
[06:36] <replicasex> joej323, what do you mean?  I've never needed to think abotu boot loaders when installing.  Are you using more than one HD?
[06:36] <icarus-c> joej323, no, install to MBR. which means  /dev/sda  (no partition number)
[06:36] <Sayo> but my first fully working linux installation.
[06:36] <joej323> ok, cool, thanks icarus-c
[06:36] <AK3> Sayo: Where is the A|pha Script for ubuntu IRC ? 0_0
[06:36] <aphid> I updated ubuntu to 10.10 -- now after I authenticate it dumps me to a pretty abstract desktop background but no menu or UI.. basically stuck there
[06:36] <icarus-c> joej323, that is overwriting windows' boot loader in MBR
[06:36] <peepsalot> i can't change my icons to humanity dark, they are stuck on something ugly
[06:37] <Sayo> blah
[06:37] <icarus-c> joej323, and it will configure chainload to pass to windows' bootloader to boot itself
[06:37] <Sayo> no club
[06:37] <Sayo> clue*
[06:37] <joej323> sweet... i'm glad i have you guys, it's been way too long since i did this LOL
[06:38] <joej323> also i have a 2TB external drive that's NTFS will Ubuntu recognize it?
[06:38] <icarus-c> Sayo, in terms of ease of use, linux itself has no change at all in all these years. but there are plenty decent user-friendly linux distribution out there
[06:38] <AndChat> i'm still hanging on a the coloured background screen. any ideas?
[06:38] <aphid> AndChat -- i've got the same problem
[06:38] <icarus-c> joej323, yes. linux can read/write NTFS  using NTFS-3G driver
[06:38] <AndChat> aphid, nvidia?
[06:39] <icarus-c> joej323, which should come preinstalled with ubuntu
[06:39] <aphid> AndChat - don't think so, it's a crappy netbook
[06:39] <Kraken__> damn.. this xfce is amazing... it looks like i upgraded my laptop :)
[06:39] <AK3> nvidia is the devil
[06:39] <joej323> awesome... I love you guys... in a totally platonic way of course...
[06:39] <replicasex> They say the nvidia drivers are better than ATI's - I'd hate to see what that looks like.
[06:39] <AK3> Nvidia = Kieser Soyse
[06:39] <icarus-c> Kraken__, it gets even better if you don't use DE and  use a window manager based setup :P
[06:39] <Sayo> icarus-c, i mean, i noticed there are finally gui's for everything, installing, uninstalling, advanced system maintenance. i gotta say, they really upped there game around here, i'm impressed.
[06:40] <aphid> intel integrated graphics :S
[06:40] <icarus-c> Sayo, credits to that linux distribution :)
[06:40] <Kraken__> can i run apps like quassel or chrome in such enviroments, icarus-c?
[06:40] <AK3> ROFL , Dam sli haters
[06:40] <icarus-c> Kraken__, why not
[06:40] <AndChat> ak3, buy me a new laptop and i'll stop using this nvidia card :-P
[06:40] <AK3> Im going back to cross fire
[06:40] <rubydiamond> hi guys
[06:40] <Kraken__> that's nice... i will try it then :)
[06:41] <Sayo> lol indeed
[06:41] <rubydiamond> what is md5 checksum of Ubuntu 10.10 (32bit) desktop version
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> !hashes | rubydiamond
[06:41] <coppro> I repeat, sound issues with upgrade - any ideas?
[06:41] <AK3> Anyone played the new call of dutyon nvidia cards yet ?
[06:42] <icarus-c> Kraken__, a DE ships with every application from window manager to file manager, panel, screensaver...etc  they are all individual applications
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> coppro: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*   then press ALT+F2 and run: pulseaudio   may help
[06:42] <AK3> Action: !Nic3
[06:42] <icarus-c> Kraken__, that is, you could run nautilus on xfce,    use kwin instead of metacity on gnome,  run amarok on lxde...etc  but using components from different DE at the same time is just lame :P
[06:42] <sin_tax> Anyone know how to fix the problem where pressing the 'off' button on a synaptics touchpad will cause problems in 10.04 and .10?  Keyboard stops responding (except for CTRL+ALT+DEL, menus don't work, etc.)?
[06:43] <Royall> I can access the files on my external HDD using sudo nautilus, but not normal nautilus.. on my nautilus it's just an empty folder
[06:43] <coppro> E: module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.

[06:43] <coppro> E: alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> Royall: dont run nautilus with sudo
[06:43] <Royall> ActionParsnip: I don't do that normally
[06:43] <AK3> dam i thought this was a warez channel
[06:43] <Guest26830> hey guys I have a weird problem, my ubuntu desktop has just started doing some odd things 1)all menus are gone from the top panel, 2) messing around with the panels has gotten me 3 invisible panels that still take up space ( i cant right click to 'delete this panel' or anyting)
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> Royall: you should use gksudo, sudo is NOT for gui apps
[06:44] <Royall> ActionParsnip: I just used it to discover I can access my external HDD with root
[06:44] <coppro> ooh, sorry
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> coppro: you could add the alsa ppa and get 1.0.23
[06:44] <coppro> will try; ppa?
[06:44] <icarus-c> AK3, didnt you read /topic
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> Royall: then you may need to add it to /etc/fstab
[06:44] <coppro> (and by ppa? I mean what's the PPA url)
[06:44] <Royall> ActionParsnip: I'm not sure what to add in the way of options
[06:44] <Guest26830> also there is no .config/menu directory
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> coppro: https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/unstable
[06:44] <coppro> thanks
[06:44] <AK3> icarus-c : I do not know to read
[06:45] <momentum> what does /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs stanfd for?
[06:45] <icarus-c> Royall, do you have an entry of your external HHD in /etc/fstab and it doesn't allow ordinary users to mount it?
[06:45] <AK3> icarus-c : only speak 1337
[06:45] <Kraken__> lol icarus-c  ... just discovered that now, since i run kdevelop on xfce :p    i'm going to install blackbox now... just discovering the amazing linux world :)
[06:45] <momentum> it's taking up 27% of /, which is the entireity of / in use
[06:45] <bazhang> AK3, stop that
[06:45] <momentum> (this is on a ssd)
[06:45] <AK3> icarus-c : Uber
[06:45] <Royall> icarus-c: I do, I've tried this: /dev/sdb1 /media/[re]drive_   ext3     rw,user,noauto 0   0
[06:45] <Royall> neither that nor defaults works
[06:46] <sin_tax> Is there anywhere that offers a 'how to use' tutorial for Linux / Ubuntu?  I'm pretty savvy but I've been on Windows / DOS based systems for 20+ years and am not sure about all the paradigms that Linux has (like how the filesystem works, etc.)
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> Royall: i don't think you should have the brackets in the line, i suggest you change the mount point
[06:46] <aphid> AndChat - did you install from cd/usb or upgrade?
[06:46] <sin_tax> I'd like to know more about bash scripting, etc, too.
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> sin_tax: ask in #bash then
[06:46] <bazhang> !filesystems > sin_tax
[06:46] <Royall> ActionParsnip: the brackets have worked for a while.. but how would I change the mount point
[06:46] <Royall> wait, no
[06:46] <agronholm> my visuals just went to sh** with the latest bunch of updates (looks almost like motif now) -- anyone know how to fix this?
[06:46] <llutz_> Royall: your external is a ext3? then use chown/chmod to set permissions
[06:47] <Royall> I need the brackets, that drive has my music which is on rhythmbox
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> Royall: make a new empty folder with a simple name and then edit fstab to mirror the new folder
[06:47] <agronholm> and yes, using ubuntu maverick
[06:47] <kevin_> my friend just tried updating from 10.04 to 10.10, and it doesn't load Ubuntu. He gets this error: http://pastebin.com/DcXe8AnZ help please
[06:47] <icarus-c> sin_tax, my advice: don't bother to read those how to use linux books at first. just use it, explore!  and google for howto or read man page when you don't know how to perform certain task
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: can you expand on "visuals"
[06:47] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: toolbars, firefox tabbar etc
[06:47] <sin_tax> Thanks, I've already learned a lot, I just don't want to miss basic stuff if I can help it.
[06:47] <icarus-c> sin_tax, as time passes, you will know a lot
[06:48] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: looks damn ugly now
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: do you use nvidia / ati video chip?
[06:48] <agronholm> nvidia
[06:48] <coppro> ActionParsnip: did not help; alsa is 1.0.17 according to apt-cache show alsa-oss
[06:48] <bazhang> !abs > sin_tax
[06:48] <Royall> llutz_: chmod did it, thanks!
[06:48] <bazhang> sin_tax, check the ubuntu manual as well
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: the nvidia drivers dont play well with the xorg in maverick yet
[06:48] <bazhang> !manual
[06:48] <Royall> (and thanks to everyone else)
[06:48] <coppro> oh wait, 1.0.23 according to alsa-base
[06:48] <icarus-c> sin_tax, i found that trying to host your own server is a great learning experience
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> coppro: thats old dude, the ppa should ramp you up to 1.0.23
[06:48] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: I use the proprietary driver since the open source drivers tend to hang my machine
[06:49] <agronholm> from time to time
[06:49] <sin_tax> icarus-c, I am probably going to try setting up a minecraft server, with automated backups via bash, etc., so that should be fun.
[06:49] <icarus-c> sin_tax, you will learn linux, apache, how php/perl works, mysql setup,  networking... and much more
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: then you'll have to wait while nvidia catch up
[06:49] <sin_tax> RDP, too
[06:49] <replicasex> ok, so I added the wine dev ppa, can I just type sudo apt-get install wine1.3?
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: yes
[06:49] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: how can this be a driver problem? the visuals were just fine before the update
[06:49] <robojake> Is there a way to make ubuntu login automatically without a password and not require one for sudo like the live cd?  I'm making a custom live cd with some HD diagnostics tools on it, but I'd like to remove the password
[06:49] <sin_tax> bazhang, great links/info, thanks
[06:49] <agronholm> and it's not like the graphics are corrupted or anything
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: were you on maverick before the "update"?
[06:50] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, thanks :P
[06:50] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: yes
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: and what did the update install?
[06:50] <Jordan_U> !remaster | robojake
[06:50] <icarus-c> robojake, you mean sudo without entering password? that comes at serious security risk
[06:50] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: I don't remember -- how do I find out?
[06:50] <coppro> ActionParsnip: the maverick default is 1.0.23
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: you can look in /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:50] <robojake> icarus-c: It doesn't really matter on a live cd
[06:51] <kevin_> my friend just tried updating from 10.04 to 10.10, and it doesn't want load Ubuntu. I think it has to do with grub. He gets this error: http://pastebin.com/DcXe8AnZ help please
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> !sound | coppro
[06:51] <icarus-c> robojake, oh i didn't read the "making a custom live cd" part :P
[06:51] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Was he using wubi?
[06:51] <kevin_> Jordan_U, I believe not.
[06:52] <aphid> When I boot 10.10, after authenticating I am stuck at a blank desktop screen.  Cursor works.
[06:52] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Do you have access to the computer currently for troubleshooting?
[06:52] <kevin_> No i do not :/
[06:52] <replicasex> i have a 5.1 setup, but ubuntu's sound default was stereo duplex or whatever, it gives a load of options, can ubuntu handle 5.1 output?
[06:52] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: litvte, python-vte, tzdata, linux-libc, new kernel
[06:52] <agronholm> nothing that should break the looks
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: possibly the new kerel then, if you remove the proprietary driver then reinstall it, it may help
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: the kernel module for the nvidia driver needs compiling for the updated kernel so is likely that is the cause
[06:53] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: I'll try that
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: and can easily break the looks
[06:54] <kevin_> Jordan_U, is it a grub problem?
[06:54] <kevin_> based on the error?
[06:54] <Jordan_U> kevin_: It's hard to diagnose without access to the computer, if you need to get the computer booted you can use Super GRUB2 Disk as it's bascially automatic, but you'll need to have him come here / post in the forums and respond to figure out what's wrong and fix it permanently.
[06:54] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Yes.
[06:55] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: http://yfrog.com/2oscreenshotwup
[06:55] <agronholm> this is what it looks now
[06:55] <robojake> I have everything setup in a virtual machine drive the way I want it and I'm creating a live cd with remastersys but I don't want it to have any passwords. I've already looked over those links ubottu
[06:55] <agronholm> I'll go reinstall the driver and come back then
[06:55] <Jordan_U> kevin_: If he could run boot info script that will likely give any information needed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280
[06:55] <kevin_> Jordan_U, I can get him to connect to the IRC, he's on a live cd right now
[06:55] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Please do then.
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: looks fine to me
[06:55] <kevin_> ok, one minute. thank you
[06:56] <Sayo> dog hook me up wit a bash guide
[06:56] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: no, it's ugly as hell, and totally different from what it was before the update
[06:56] <bazhang> !abs > Sayo
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: like i said, remove the driver then reinstall it
[06:56] <agronholm> trying that now
[06:56] <mrandrzejak> Can someone please recommend another ubuntu distro for a computer that has: 1.5ghtz ram, 100gb hd, with a via C7-D processor?  Ubuntu 10.04 is a bit sluggish. Thanks!
[06:56] <Sayo> i need to l3a4n m3 s0m3 s(4p71|\|5
[06:56] <MACscr> ok, i upgraded my ubuntu 8.04 system to 10.04 using the update manager, then it prompted me to reboot. Did it maybe not modify the boot menu? http://pastebin.com/VAzWqiZW
[06:57] <mrandrzejak> im thinking xubuntu or lubuntu, but cant decide
[06:57] <bazhang> mrandrzejak, lubuntu
[06:57] <MACscr> anyway, it fails to boot as you can see in that output
[06:57] <bazhang> Sayo, english only here
[06:57] <[thor]> woo.. rockin 10.10, high five guys!
[06:57] <robojake> How does the official install/live cd not have any passwords?
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> mrandrzejak: i'd say Lubuntu, its light and responsive but you may have to do some stuff the old school way sometimes
[06:57] <Sayo> bazhang, omg seriously that's exactly what i wanted, thank you so much
[06:57] <mrandrzejak> bazhang - but why lubuntu? and can i run Cheese on it?
[06:57] <[Screamo]> people still use ubuntu?
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> mrandrzejak: you can run cheese on any buntu you can find
[06:58] <Sayo> also forgive my social commentary aheh aheh aheh
[06:58] <bazhang> mrandrzejak, its very light. cheese should run fine
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> [Screamo]: yep, its the fastest growing distro available
[06:58] <mrandrzejak> can i switch lubuntu so it feels more like ubuntu? top and bottom panels?
[06:58] <bazhang> Sayo, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[06:58] <[Screamo]> ActionParsnip, what a pity
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> [Screamo]: you dont have to use it
[06:58] <kevin_> Jordan_U, does the livecd bring xchat by default?
[06:59] <[Screamo]> ActionParsnip, oh i dont
[06:59] <mrandrzejak> lubuntu lighter than xubuntu?
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> mrandrzejak: you can add an extra panel if you wish. I find it a bit excessive personally
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> [Screamo]: problem solved
[06:59] <Jordan_U> kevin_: No, it contains empathy (which is pretty poor as an IRC client, but works).
[06:59] <kevin_> Jordan_U, ok, ill just tell him to install schat
[06:59] <tiox> Yay, I did it, awesome.
[06:59] <[Screamo]> ActionParsnip, but what about all the poor little noobs that are content with a bloated slow system and know no better
[06:59] <Fritzy> Having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook on Dell Mini 9. I selected the "use entire disk" option, and towards the end of the install I get a "Bootloader install failed" dialog. And no amount of selecting options and clicking OK gets me anywhere... the OK button depresses, but the dialog stays up.
[06:59] <kevin_> Jordan_U, btw, he can't find his ubuntu partition.
[07:00] <tiox> Found a guide that worked. If you wanna change the names of the main menu items...
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> [Screamo]: you can install the minimal and get an unbloated OS
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> tiox: I'd post it on ubuntuforums  to share :)
[07:00] <easy_enemy> My screen keeps on freezing and im just using built in video card, I cant find a driver compatible with ubuntu, what should I do?
[07:00] <tiox> Well it already exists.
[07:00] <Fritzy> vesa?
[07:01] <Fritzy> easy_enemy: try the vesa driver.
[07:01] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Is he fairly inexperienced with Ubuntu?
[07:01] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: this is how it _should_ look like (now that I removed the proprietary driver): http://yfrog.com/45screenshot2bap
[07:01] <kevin_> Jordan_U, unfortunately yes.
[07:01] <tiox> But you have to get a couple of things.
[07:01] <AndChat> ok, last line in my xorg log says it's waiting for xserver to accept connections. then nothing.
[07:01] <agronholm> I'll see what happens when I reinstall it
[07:01] <[Screamo]> ActionParsnip, nah bad ubuntu is bad
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: the WM is a different colour scheme is all I can see there dude
[07:02] <tiox> Follow this guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5043898&postcount=11) but before you do, first get liblocale-msgftm-perl and gettext.
[07:02] <Diverdude> Anybody here knows a good a good IRC channel for discussing music?
[07:02] <histo> Wow upgrade is failing horrible
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: and the buttons are mildly different
[07:02] <bazhang> Diverdude, /msg alis list *music*
[07:02] <Mike> #ubuntu
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: #ubuntu-offtopic  may know
[07:02] <Fritzy> Can someone please help me? Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook on Dell Mini 9 Bootloader install failed?
[07:03] <tiox> After that, the rest is easy. Tell msgmft where the file with the modifications are, then use the rest of the commands in the guide to change the menu items.
[07:03] <kevin_> Mike, eres tu?
[07:03] <Mike> Sip
[07:03] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: buttons, toolbars..plenty of ui elements looked horrible
[07:03] <kevin_> ok
[07:03] <kevin_> Jordan_U, Mike is the friend I was talking to you about
[07:03] <rww> jpds: you may want *!wearethesi@*shellium.org instead.
[07:03] <kevin_> erm, Guest30358 now
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: i dont dig eyecandy dude, looked fine before
[07:03] <kevin_> lol
[07:03] <kevin_> mike your name change to Guest30358
[07:03] <Guest30358> ...
[07:03] <agronholm> great
[07:03] <kevin_> dont worry
[07:03] <agronholm> now it's not entering X anymore
[07:03] <Guest30358> Yeah i read it -.-
[07:03] <tiox> I have Applications Places System set up as Start Computer Ubuntu. :P
[07:04] <tiox> (Windows Vista/7 user, whadda ya want?)
[07:04] <kevin_> lol
[07:04] <agronholm> and now my laptop hung completely
[07:04] <kevin_> Jordan_U, should I tell him to try that boot info script?
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/?action=view&current=Screenshot.png  pretty simple
[07:04] <kevin_> Mike, vete a http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ y baja ese script
[07:05] <robojake> solved my own answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513820&highlight=shadow
[07:05] <rww> jpds: original ban was against *!*@should.have.tried.shellium.org, not *!wearethesi@should.have.tried.shellium.org
[07:05] <Jordan_U> Guest30358: We need some information to debug your problem. Could you follow this guide to run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280, then give us a link to the RESULTS.txt using http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ?
[07:05] <rww> stupid shell hosts, make everything complicated :(
[07:05] <Fritzy> help -- can't get passed "Bootloader install failed" dialog in install.. can't even cancel installation.
[07:05] <robojake> can I add this to ubotto?
[07:06] <Fritzy> How do I pull up a shell during install?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> robojake: yikes editting the shadow file, scary
[07:06] <Guest30358> ok I download it it
[07:06] <robojake> yeah but I'm doing it on a virtual machine and making a live disk out of it
[07:06] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: There should be a drop down area for looking at detailed error messages.
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> robojake: like this:   /msg ubottu !thing is description
[07:06] <robojake> I wouldn't do it on my own machine
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> robojake: e.g.   /msg ubottu !jackdaniels is JD is a tasty tasty bournon
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> etc
[07:07] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: it won't enter X anymore after I installed the proprietary drivers, any pointers on what to do?
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: could try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install dkms     then reboot to get X (maybe). You may have to remove them again and get a desktop then fight from there
[07:07] <chandan> is there is any role of graphics in linux?
[07:08] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: Not that I can see. "How would you like to proceed?" followed by the options of choosing a different device, continuing, or cancelling. Selecting any of these options and hitting ok does not close the dialog and doesn't appear to do anything other than depressing the OK button.
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> chandan: sure, games for one
[07:08] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: How comfortable are you with the terminal?
[07:08] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: quite comfortable
[07:09] <mcKitteh> hey
[07:09] <easy_enemy> Do I need to download the vesa driver?
[07:09] <Eryn_1983_FL> hey peeps what does it mean when your data led  just  blinks slowly?
[07:09] <mcKitteh> I put all of the files from my cd to my usb stick
[07:09] <Eryn_1983_FL> i can't fnd my manual or i would check..
[07:09] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: not sure how to open a terminal from this view though.  :)
[07:09] <mcKitteh> how do I make that usb stick bootable now?
[07:09] <Eryn_1983_FL> the pc won't boot up
[07:09] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: else I'd run grub-install myself
[07:09] <bazhang> mcKitteh, use unetbootin
[07:10] <sin_tax> mcKitteh, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ ?
[07:10] <mcKitteh> not what I'm asking bazhang
[07:10] <robojake> !passwordless > robojake
[07:10] <mcKitteh> or that
[07:10] <robojake> :(
[07:10] <Ryen> !usb | mcKitteh
[07:10] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: Ok, then press ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal (ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to X) then run "DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-terminal" to start a terminal within X. From there please use gnome-screenshot to create a screenshot.
[07:10] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | Fritzy
[07:10] <[thor]> derr... what is the CLI command for triggering the gnome-screensaver config gui?
[07:10] <mcKitteh> the files are already on the USB stick, so I  want a tool just to make it bootable
[07:11] <mcKitteh> unetbootin and the pendrive linux ones put the files there
[07:11] <bazhang> mcKitteh, put there how
[07:11] <mcKitteh> they are already there
[07:11] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: It sounds like you can probably trick the installer into thinking it installed grub successfully by making /usr/bin/grub-install a symlink to /bin/true, but I'd like to see the exact error/dialog first.
[07:11] <easy_enemy> My screen keeps on freezing and im just using built in video card, I cant find a driver compatible with ubuntu, what should I do? Do I need to download the vesa driver? Im using ubuntu 9.04
[07:11] <agronholm> ActionParsnip: I can't get to X no matter what I do
[07:12] <mcKitteh> bazhang, the linux files are already on the usb drive

[07:13] <ActionParsnip> agronholm: if you run:   sudo nvidia-xconfig   it should make an xorg.conf using the proprietary driver
[07:13] <PeppiS> Hur installerar jag Amsn?
[07:13] <bazhang> !se | PeppiS
[07:14] <agronholm> I really hate it when ubuntu hangs when I close my laptop screen
[07:14] <mcKitteh> bazhang, I came in here just wondering if I needed to do anything else..
[07:14] <agronholm> I think it's trying to enter sleep mode, and fails
[07:15] <mcKitteh> like do I need to add any files to make the usb bootable?
[07:15] <PeppiS> ubottu tack
[07:15] <bazhang> mcKitteh, copied how; please clarify

[07:16] <kevin_> Jordan_U, ok, he's about to post the contents to pastebin. give us a minute lol
[07:16] <bazhang> robojake, /msg ubottu
[07:16] <robojake> I tried msg that but it said the same thing
[07:17] <bazhang> !usage > robojake
[07:17] <kieths> sudo problem on USB pendrive with persistence enabled
[07:17] <kevin_> Jordan_U, okay here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/eggY6nhm
[07:17] <kevin_> what are wee looking for?
[07:17] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: Can you continue with the "continue without bootloader" option?
[07:17] <rww> robojake: try /msg ubottu !nopassword is <reply> How to create etc...
[07:18] <mcKitteh> bazhang, is it possible to make the usb bootable if I just copied the files from a cd with rsync to the usb device?
[07:18] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: no, regardless of which of the 3 radio options I select, when I click Ok or hit enter or anything else, the button depresses, but the dialog stays up
[07:18] <bazhang> mcKitteh, don't think so
[07:18] <Sayo> oh ok, super n00b question, how do i add/remove things from the launcher bar in UNR?
[07:18] <mcKitteh> there has to be
[07:18] <mcKitteh> linux isn't like that
[07:18] <mcKitteh> haha
[07:18] <icarus-c> Sayo, does drag/drop work?
[07:19] <kevin_> Jordan_U, yes, I was mistaken, he used Wubi. How does that impact the problem?
[07:19] <Sayo> no
[07:19] <rww> Sayo: open it, right-click the icon, click the relevant menu option
[07:19]  * icarus-c has never used netbook remix
[07:19] <Sayo> ironically though i tried
[07:19] <rww> (not ironic)
[07:19] <Sayo> rww, that doesn't work either
[07:19] <robojake> it worked yeah
[07:19] <mcKitteh> Jordan_U, you are extremely smart - will you assist me?
[07:19] <robojake> You need the is
[07:19] <icarus-c> lol
[07:19] <Jordan_U> kevin_: There is a known but with wubi that I am ashed still exists.
[07:19] <Sayo> rww, i know  :/
[07:19] <robojake> !nopassword > robojake
[07:20] <kevin_> Jordan_U, and what would that be?
[07:20] <kieths> Question: Lost sudo access on Pendrive installation with persistence enabled due to sudoers mode being changed.  Being USB, there is no recovery mode.  How to access sudo to fix the problem?
[07:20] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: I can't get past the dialog. :S  grub-install generally errors out with "grub-probe error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev/ mounted?)
[07:20] <icarus-c> Fritzy, in chroot?
[07:20] <Fritzy> icarus-c: no, just sudo
[07:20] <xrfang> how to downgrade video card driver in kubuntu 10.10? after upgrade I periodically get "GPU hung" error (found in console as the X environment does not respond)
[07:20] <Jordan_U> kevin_: When wubi is installed to a disk other than "C:" on upgrades grub is installed to the mbr, rather than to an image file within the windows partition, making the computer unbootable.
[07:21] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: You need to "sudp chroot /target" first.
[07:22] <kevin_> Jordan_U, oh no...and I'm guessing there's no way to fix it?
[07:22] <mcKitteh> :(
[07:22] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: /target is empty.... sudo chroot fails with "/bin/bash : No such file ..."
[07:23] <Jordan_U> kevin_: No, it can actually be fixed fairly easily. "sudo apt-get install mbr && sudo install-mbr /dev/sda" should do it, but the problem will come back next time the grub-pc package is upgraded.
[07:23] <Logos> hi
[07:24] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: mounted it... trying now
[07:24] <kevin_> Jordan_U, ok, but can he do that from the LiveCD?
[07:24] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Yes.
[07:25] <kevin_> oh
[07:25] <kevin_> and then he should be able to boot normally, Jordan_U ?
[07:25] <Jordan_U> Guest30358: Open a terminal then run "sudo apt-get install mbr && sudo install-mbr /dev/sda", make sure you copy that command exactly (without the quotes).
[07:25] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Yes.
[07:25] <kevin_> Jordan_U, GREAT!
[07:26] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: now that I did sudo mount /dev/sda1 /target && sudo chroot /target ... my /dev/ seems incomplete.. and grub-install still cannot find a device
[07:26] <homecable> how do i add eth1 ip 192.168.1.1
[07:26] <kieths> Anyone familiar with accessing root access for repairs on a USB Pendrive installation?
[07:26] <histo> homecable: /etc/network/interfaces
[07:26] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: You need to bind mount /dev/ /proc/ and /sys/ into the chroot first.
[07:27] <histo> !sudo > kieths
[07:27] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: sudo mount -o bind /sys/ /target/sys; sudo mount -o bind /dev/ /target/dev/; sudo mount -o /proc /targed/proc
[07:27] <Jordan_U> *-o bind on the last one as well.
[07:27] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: cool, now I have grub installed on /dev/sda how do I continue past the locked dialog?
[07:28] <IpSe_DiXiT> hi, after upgrading to 10.04 im stuck in spashscreen, can anyone help?
[07:28] <kevin_> Jordan_U, he got this problem "Guest30358> install: missing destination file operand after `/dev/sda'
 Try `install --help' for more information."
[07:28] <GreyGhost> hey ..
[07:28] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: did you try recover mode?
[07:29] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: or hit e and disable splash and quiet so you can see what's going on.
[07:29] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: i cant even get into recovery mode, plus im a noob and i wouldn't know what to do
[07:29] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: Try adding "echo grub-install has been temporarily disabled, FIX THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; exit 0" as the second line of /usr/sbin/grub-install
[07:29] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: hold shift to get to the grub menu
[07:29] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: as the computer is booting
[07:29] <GreyGhost> anyone else has firefox crashing over and ver again with ubuntu 10.10?
[07:29] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: ok let me try, brb, dont leave me plz, im like this since yesterday...
[07:30] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: Then hopefully the installer will think grub-install ran successfully, as it will just exit with success.
[07:30] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: there are others that can help as well i'm sure
[07:30] <kieths> histo?
[07:30] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: yesterday i was here the whole afternoon and nobody helped...
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> GreyGhost: no as I dont use it
[07:32] <kevin_> Jordan_U, was there something missing after "/dev/sda" ?
[07:32] <GreyGhost> IpSe_DiXiT, do ctrl+alt +f1 when stuck at splash .. see wht it says ..
[07:32] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: ok i pressed shift and entered the GRUB menu, selected recovery mode, finally it seems like itz loading
[07:32] <GreyGhost> ActionParsnip, hehe .. addons keep me with firefox..
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> GreyGhost: if you close the browser, rename ~/.mozilla then rerun it, does it work ok?
[07:32] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: no dice.. tried within chroot and outside of it. :S
[07:32] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: And before you reboot, make sure you run "update-grub" within the chroot.
[07:32] <IpSe_DiXiT> GreyGhost: already tried it, it says nothing
[07:32] <Jordan_U> kevin_: No.
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> GreyGhost: many browsers have addons
[07:32] <kieths> Is histo a bot?
[07:32] <bazhang> kieths, no
[07:33] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: im in recovery mode what do i do?
[07:33] <kevin_> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/Nf7mSAhd
[07:33] <kevin_> that's what came up
[07:33] <kevin_> is that correct then?
[07:33] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Ahh, shame on me. I hadn't actually read the boot info script output yet, his problem was not the one I was thinking of (though install-mbr shouldn't have done any harm).
[07:33] <GreyGhost> ActionParsnip, nope.. crashes even if go to my add ons tab now ..
[07:33] <kevin_> Jordan_U, Oh. hehe, still fixable though?
[07:34] <shiwei> is hacker use it to communicate?i am a freshman for ubuntu
[07:34] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: well lets try this first
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> GreyGhost: ok then delete the new profile and rename your original one back in
[07:34] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: reboot and get to the grub menu
[07:34] <GreyGhost> yep .. done that
[07:34] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: then hit e to edit your mainline
[07:34] <Jordan_U> kevin_: The command was supposed to be "install-mbr" not "install -mbr" (not that that matters now). Looking at the output further now.
[07:34] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: i just did, and in the grub menu i had 4 opts
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> GreyGhost: could try the mozilla ppa, see if the later build helps
[07:34] <RudyValencia> My server offers Ubuntu installation via PXE booting and approx apt package caching - how cool is that? :D
[07:34] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: ah ok
[07:34] <IpSe_DiXiT> will do
[07:34] <kevin_> Jordan_U, Oh, okay. thank you.
[07:34] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: then delete the quiet and splash portions and hit enter to boot that kernel
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> RudyValencia: nice
[07:35] <GreyGhost> ActionParsnip, yeah .. was plannin on installing the mozilla builds now .. thanks
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> GreyGhost: try chromium daily, it has some sweet extensions and is better than firefox with flash (well, is here)
[07:36] <GreyGhost> ActionParsnip, oki .. :D
[07:37] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: done
[07:37] <felon> how do i lock a folder to where anyone else gets on here they have to have a password to to open it.
[07:37] <blakkheim> felon: you can encrypt it, there are many programs for doing this
[07:37] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: did you remove quiet and splash and hit enter?
[07:37] <tiox> felon: For Windows, TrueCrypt.
[07:37] <Jordan_U> kevin_: I can't see anything wrong in that output. Can he be on IRC while rebooted at the grub shell (or can you be and talk to him over the phone)?
[07:38] <tiox> Small, free, restricts access and modification.
[07:38] <maxime_> !fr
[07:38] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: yeah and then i boot, i could read a couple of things like it was mounting drives starting apparmor, firefox, etc then it went blank screen like before
[07:38] <AndChat> ok, last line in my xorg log says it's waiting for xserver to accept connections. then nothing.
[07:38] <felon> im not on windows
[07:38] <kevin_> Jordan_U, one second
[07:38] <tiox> bah. What OS?
[07:38] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: firefox?
[07:38] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: what did you upgrade from?
[07:38] <blakkheim> tiox: do you know what channel you are in?
[07:38] <felon> ubuntu
[07:38] <kevin_> ok Jordan_U, he'll call me now
[07:39] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: Tried what exactly? Modifying the script or update-grub?
[07:39] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: 9.10>10.04
[07:39] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: hrm... No idea man should just work. maybe check logs in recovery mode
[07:39] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: they are in /var/log
[07:39] <tiox> Yeah, sorry.
[07:39] <kennethsime> I'm dual-booting, and want Ubuntu to mount my other partition at startup. Ideas?
[07:39] <tiox> I thought I was in another channel, wasn't paying attention.
[07:39] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: will do right away
[07:40] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: modifying grub-install in chroot and outside
[07:40] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: what screen is it hanging exactly?
[07:40] <tiox> Also, I changed the top bar to say Start  User  Ubuntu
[07:40] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: to echo and exit 0 as you said
[07:40] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: im in recovery mode, what do i do?
[07:40] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: cd /var/log
[07:40] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: doesn't help me get passed the dialog
[07:41] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: and start looking at various logs like cat syslog
[07:41] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: Try doing the same with /usr/sbin/update-grub.
[07:41] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: in chroot or out?
[07:41] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: In.
[07:41] <AndChat> kennethsime: won't the fstab do that?
[07:41] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: ok
[07:42] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: how do i open the logs?
[07:42] <kevin_> Jordan_U, ok...now it's not even letting him get into Windows
[07:42] <IpSe_DiXiT> im in var/log
[07:42] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: And confirm that it worked with "grub-install; echo $?" and "update-grub; echo $?" (should print the message then "0" for successfull completion).
[07:42] <kieths> histo: !sudo fails.  /etc/sudoers mode 0644, should be 0440.  No Recovery mode (USB Pendrive with persistence).
[07:42] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: cat logname  will put the output on teh terminal. Or you can open them with nano.   nano logname
[07:43] <histo> kieths: what are you trying to do exactly?
[07:43] <Jordan_U> kevin_: What happens when he tries to boot? He hasn't done anything that should have changed anything.
[07:43] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: both echo the message and then echo's 0 within chroot /target
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> kieths: then boot to an alternative Linux OS and chmod the file properly
[07:44] <kieths> histo: fix sudo
[07:44] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: Can you continue now?
[07:44] <histo> kieths: what groups is your user in?
[07:44] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: no, the button depresses, but nothing else changes
[07:45] <kevin_> he's saying that its comes up MBR to choose Ubuntu or Windows 7, and then when he chooses either of them it tells him to restart the computer. Something about using the Windows CD to repair.
[07:45] <kieths> histo: single user, ubuntu, not under a group
[07:45] <kevin_> Jordan_U, that's what he's telling me
[07:45]  * GreyGhost kicks firefox..
[07:45] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: the last thing i read in "dmesg" is "padlock: VIA PadLock not detected" ???
[07:45] <Jordan_U> kevin_: What exactly does happen? Error message, blinking cursor on a black screen?
[07:46] <histo> kieths: who are you logged in now as?
[07:46]  * GreyGhost kicks firefox
[07:46] <bazhang> GreyGhost, stop that
[07:46]  * GreyGhost starts up opera to download chrome ..
[07:46] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: well dmesg will only be for the current boot you'd have to look at the saved ones
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> GreyGhost: please dont spam like that
[07:46] <kieths> histo: auto-login to user ubuntu (only the one account, admin)
[07:46] <GreyGhost> ActionParsnip, bazhang sorry
[07:46] <kevin_> Jordan_U, no blinking cursor, just a black screen. When he goes into either options, it's Enter to continue or escape, and they both restart the computer
[07:46] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Maybe it's a bug in the installer UI rather than in the installation /dpkg scripts themselves.
[07:47] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: shall i look at "boot.log"?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> kevin_: What happens if you try to close the window?
[07:47] <Dalarist> Hello everyone.  I've run into a sticky issue, and didn't know if this is the right place to ask?
[07:47] <histo> kieths: type groups in a terminal and see if you are a member of the admin group
[07:47] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: i'd look at that and syslog
[07:47] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: confusing me with kevin_? I can't close the window either... no reaction.
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> GreyGhost: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install chromium-browser
[07:47] <starn> hello?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> kevin_: So he is seeing options?
[07:47] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: I can go to the right-click menu and close
[07:47] <GreyGhost> ActionParsnip, thanks
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> hi starn
[07:47] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: another option maybe something with power management is buggy try booting with acpi=off
[07:47] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: but that doesn't do anything either
[07:48] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: you would do that by hitting e and adding that to the line
[07:48] <kevin_> Jordan_U, there's no window. It's just the MBR telling him those two choices, and when he goes to either of them it gives the same problem for each choice
[07:48] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Ahh, discard my comment about the closing the window and the installer UI, that was meant for Fritzy
[07:48] <kevin_> lol no problem Jordan_U
[07:48] <kieths> histo: long list of groups (surprised), and admin and adm are in the list
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> GreyGhost: chromium does pre DNS caching for the links on pages, makes the web faster :)
[07:48] <starn> can anyone help me with dual monitors? i got it setup for two separate displays but it treats them like they are not connected  i can not drag stuff over to the other monitor like in windows :(
[07:48] <histo> kieths: check out the psychocats link from ubottu
[07:48] <kevin_> The problem is he can't even load into Windows 7, and he doesn't have a windows cd to repair
[07:48] <histo> !sudo > kieths
[07:49] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: sorry to make you juggle.. if I reboot, I imagine it'll boot to an uncompleted install. Is there some way I can finish the install?
[07:49] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: You may just have to use the alternate install CD, or "sudo pkill dpkg" and hope the install then completes in a usefull state ( I doubt it will ).
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> kieths: its how you can control access, if you remove your user from the cdrom group for example, it will not have access to optical media
[07:49] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: ok
[07:49] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: thanks for your help.  :)
[07:49] <Jordan_U> !alternate | Fritzy
[07:49] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: have a good one
[07:49] <Jordan_U> Fritzy: You're welcome.
[07:49] <GreyGhost> ActionParsnip, yaeh .. heard bout that :) i usually need plugins sqlite manager (for editing sqlitedbs), ftp etc. so stuck to firefox all thesse years .. will try chrome now ..
[07:49] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: boot.log starts with "Loading essential drivers" and it ends with "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/sda1: clean, 124883/2312422 files 692345/95647389 blocks"
[07:50] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: ok i'll try adding the acpi = off
[07:50] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: yeah see if that helps
[07:50] <kevin_> Jordan_U, Ahhhh hahaha he was able to fix it with a VISTA cd
[07:50] <albada> I am using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS and it is oftenly freezed. There is no sign in messages file. Is there anyone who has an idea?
[07:50] <kieths> histo: psycocats talks about the exact problem, but, the repair requires a recovery mode, not availale to the USB Pendrive with persistence installation.
[07:50] <brorjonas> When i switch workspace, the whole background and menu bar moves. What's the setting to change to keep them still and only the windows to move?
[07:50] <brorjonas> in compiz that is
[07:50] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: how do i go to the grub menu from here? dop i have to reboot and hit shift again?
[07:50] <Jordan_U> kevin_: Now both windows and Ubuntu are booting, or just windows?
[07:50] <agreimann> Hello. I'm having a problem with a shell script. Seriously--I'm looking for help on this.
[07:51] <kevin_> is there anyway he can fix the wubi problem within the windows?
[07:51] <bazhang> agreimann, tried #bash
[07:51] <starn> can anyone help me with my dual monitors? nvidia geforce 8600 gt...
[07:51] <kevin_> Jordan_U, let me verify
[07:51] <agreimann> Yes--I did. Specially, I can't get the --yesno function in dialog to work properly for a reboot script.
[07:52] <nickmoeck> starn: What is the issue that you're having?
[07:52] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: yeah reboot shift
[07:52] <agreimann> It shuts down no matter what I do.
[07:52] <Jordan_U> kevin_: I'm going to be gone for a few minutes, but I'm coming back.
[07:52] <kevin_> Ok Jordan_U
[07:53] <agreimann> Is there any way I can assign a command to a button in the script?
[07:53] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: when i gave "sudo reboot" i read the same line that i read in the boot.log "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/sda1: clean, 124883/2312422 files 692345/95647389 blocks" followed by this "disconnecting from plymouth"
[07:53] <histo> kieths: why can't you boot recovery mode?
[07:53] <starn> nickmoeck: it is not functioning correctly i have it setup for two separate monitors and it displays two separate desktops and i can not click and drag windows into the other screen. and i can not open programs onto other monitor..
[07:53] <agreimann> I'm hoping someone knows how this can be done. :)
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> starn: once you install the proprietary drive you can use the nvidia config app in the menus to set it up
[07:53] <histo> kieths: hold shift while booting and  it will bring up the grub menu
[07:54] <sanduz2> i added a ppa so there is now two packages with the same name. how do i make sure that apt-get install will choose the newest version
[07:54] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: okay
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> sanduz2: its automatic
[07:54] <sanduz2> oh ok thanks
[07:54] <nickmoeck> sanduz2: apt will automatically install the one with the highest version number
[07:54] <histo> Are the repos just getting hammered or is my connection jacked?
[07:54] <sanduz2> thanks
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> histo: i'd say hammered
[07:55] <starn> ActionParsnip: that is what i tried using and is what made things more complex.. at least before i did i could click and drag windows into other monitor. and treat it like an extension to my desktop. now i can not and before all i wanted was to choose my LCD to be my default primary monitor.
[07:55] <histo> ActionParsnip: i'm only pulling 60k/sec
[07:55] <nickmoeck> starn: to elaborate on ActionParsnip's advice, in nvidia-settings, make sure to choose TwinView instead of having separate X displays
[07:55] <rww> histo: Update servers tend to be pretty bad for a week or two after release
[07:55] <agreimann> Again, I'm having trouble with a shell script on two computers that work to power down and reboot the PCs. I used dialog in the scripts with the --yesno flag, and the No button still causes them to turn off! I'm wondering if anyone can help. :)
[07:55] <kieths> histo: Recovery mode is not included in the build.  lubunto 10.04 lts, innstalled to USB Pendrive using Universal USB Installer, 3GB persistence using casper.
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> histo: time for ntop and see what your router knows'
[07:55] <agreimann> Please... I don't mean to be rude, but any ideas?
[07:56] <histo> kieths: well then perhaps the lubuntu people may be able to help. The only other way would be booting a live cd and mounting the pendrive and fixing
[07:56] <histo> ActionParsnip: can't install ntop now while i'm dl'ing
[07:56] <Dalarist> Hello,  I've been having a devil of a time getting eth0 to actually pick up an IP address on boot.  After looking though threads new and old I'm no closer to a solution, anyone happen to be able to help me?
[07:56] <starn> why twin view? ain't that just one screen being displayed onto both monitors? i do want them separate but i want to be able to click and drag windows and stuff in between them
[07:57] <histo> Dalarist: /etc/network/interfaces
[07:57] <histo> Dalarist: that's if you don't want to use network -manager
[07:57] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: cant type "=" in order to add acpi=off, the button with = on my board gives another symbol... uff
[07:58] <Dalarist> @histo : network-manager is uninstalled, and /et/network/interfaces has been set to auto up eth0 and dhcp and still no go
[07:58] <kieths> histo: I've got Ubuntu 10.04 installed to HDD (full install) on the system which is booting the USB.  I would be happy to mount it, but don't see how using Ubuntu.  Which program?
[07:58] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: try a different symbol key ...
[07:58] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: i tried them all, im a noob, not an idiot :D
[07:58] <histo> kieths: let me see if I can find a way to mount the casper system
[07:58] <nickmoeck> starn: twinview allows you to drag and drop windows between two monitors
[07:59] <kieths> histo: thank you VERY much!
[07:59] <histo> !init > homecable
[08:00] <histo> kieths: one sec
[08:00] <pLr> IpSe_DiXiT: edit it once youve booted, or instead go into single user mode by putting s instead
[08:00] <histo> kieths: plug in the usb drive and find the casper-rw file
[08:01] <kieths> histo: got it
[08:01] <histo> kieths: sudo mkdir /media/casper && sudo mount -o loop casper-rw /media/casper
[08:02] <Fritzy> Jordan_U: my first boot involved manually specifying the kernel (then running fixing and running grub-update after boot) and remarking out the cdrom line in /etc/apt/sources.list ... other than that seems fine so far.  :)
[08:02] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: try F keys as well
[08:02] <MACscr> whats the root UUID in menu.1st?
[08:02] <kieths> histo: copied command.... will try on the system now... typing...
[08:02] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: like F1-F6 etcc..
[08:02] <MACscr> er, lst
[08:02] <histo> kieths: well it will only work if the terminal is in the directory where casper-rw is
[08:03] <histo> kieths: so you'd have to open a terminal then cd /wherever/usb/drive/is/    first then do the command
[08:03] <kieths> histo: clear... will be great if I can repair rather than rebuild..
[08:03] <rww> MACscr: the UUID of the relevant partition. You can see partition UUIDs with "sudo blkid"
[08:03] <Hoober> Testing linux 1 2 3
[08:03] <tazmania> how do I add a service into init.d or rc.d in ubuntu server?
[08:03] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: the f keys wouldn't work....
[08:03] <histo> kieths: you should be able to you just need to chmod the file it sounds like
[08:03] <tazmania> I want my coovachilli to start up automatically
[08:03] <IpSe_DiXiT> pLr: i cant boot, thatz the prob
[08:03] <histo> tazmania: update-rc.d
[08:04] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: ughhh.
[08:04] <pLr> IpSe_DiXiT: did you try s?
[08:04] <MACscr> rww: whats the point of the UUID? can i remove it? seems like it could be a pain in the but when doing recoveries
[08:04] <histo> y keyboard?
[08:04] <IpSe_DiXiT> pLr: when i press S it only shows me what its doint and then it crashes like always
[08:04] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: do you have some goofy foreign keyboard?
[08:04] <rww> MACscr: UUIDs stay the same if your hard drive ordering changes, /dev/sda (or whatever) notation doesn't
[08:04] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo, no i dont :D
[08:05] <rww> MACscr: if that's not an issue, and you're trying to get things working, you don't have to use them. I don't remember enough grub1 to know how to set up the alternative, though.
[08:06] <kevin_> hey Jordan_U, thanks for the help you had given me. He was at least able to get back on windows. That's good enough for us now. I'll just show him how to do it without Wubi next time. Thank you! Good night!
[08:06] <histo> MACscr: you can remove it and just use device names if you want.
[08:06] <shazzr> I got a Nvidia NV25 (Geforce4 Ti 4400) graphic card that won't work on 10.10. I had it working on 9.10...does anyone know which driver to install?
[08:06] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: since there are many = in those line i even tried copy and paste one of em but ctrl+c gives me a command line instead :D
[08:06] <IpSe_DiXiT> ufff
[08:06] <MACscr> rww: why im worried is that i just upgraded from 8.04 LTS to 10.4 LTS and last time i tried, it wouldnt reboot and had issues finding the partition for some odd reason. This is grub2 obviously.
[08:06] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: yeah ctrl+c is a kill signal
[08:06] <rww> MACscr: As I understand it, 8.04 to 10.04 upgrades stick with GRUB1. I don't have a web browser handy to look at your pastebin, so if it says otherwise, never mind.
[08:06] <MACscr> rww: more specifically, this is the error i got last time: http://pastebin.com/VAzWqiZW
[08:07] <MACscr> rww: really? i swear its grub two since its uses menu.lst. I always used grub.conf with grub1
[08:07] <nickmoeck> MACscr: you've got that backwards.  menu.lst is grub1
[08:08] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: I don't know how else you can type a =
[08:08] <rww> MACscr: umm. GRUB2 uses grub.cfg and GRUB1 uses menu.lst...
[08:08] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: after ctrl+c i had grub> and typed "ls" it gives me (hd0) (hd0,5) (hd0,1) but i only have one hd, and shouldn't it be partitioned only in 2? one for everything and one for swap? o_O
[08:08] <Dalarist> so network-manager and network-manager-gnome are gone, /etc/network/interfaces contains (other than the loopback):
[08:08] <Dalarist> auto eth0
[08:08] <Dalarist> iface eth0  inet dhcp
[08:08] <Dalarist> yet still no address is being pulled for eth0
[08:08] <FloodBot1> Dalarist: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:08] <MACscr> rww: since you know what your talking about, mind checking out that pastebin to save me from myself? =P
[08:09] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: hd0 is the drive hd0,1 and hd0,5 are the partitions
[08:09] <histo> IpSe_DiXiT: your in the grub command prompt
[08:09] <rww> MACscr: as I said, I don't have a web browser handy to do so.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Dalarist: if you set static, does it work
[08:09] <etherealite> I'm on 32bit etch and firefox is sucking really badly for me. Am I doing something wrong or does firefox just suck?
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Dalarist: are  the lights flashing on the interface?
[08:09] <vivek40> hi does anyone have any experience here of using the multitouch features of maverick
[08:09] <MACscr> rww: ah, np, thanks
[08:09] <Dalarist> after a /etc/init.d/networking restart or an ifup ifdown it'll work, but not on the initial boot
[08:09] <Dalarist> that is in either dhcp or static
[08:09] <vivek40> etherealite: firefox should not suck, could you please elaborate
[08:10] <rww> etherealite: "32bit etch" --> try #debian.
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> etherealite: debian isnt supported here
[08:10] <gr8m8> etherealite: debian etch?
[08:10] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo: itz weird how in the grub command prompt i cant write = and most of the symbols are mixed up but in the root shell prompt of recovery mode my keyboard works perfectly
[08:10] <bazhang> etherealite, #debian
[08:10] <etherealite> I'm using 10.4
[08:10] <etherealite> ubuntu
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> etherealite: not if you are using etch
[08:10] <Dalarist> Action: to directly answer your question, yes, the lights do flash, and it does work, but doesn't pull an IP on boot.
[08:10] <etherealite> its not etch
[08:11] <etherealite> I'm wrong
[08:11] <bazhang> etherealite, pastebin sources.list please
[08:11] <vivek40> if it is 10.04 then firefox does not suck..:-)
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> etherealite: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit; lsb_release -a | pastebinnit
[08:11] <histo> etherealite: whats the output of cat /etc/issue
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> firefox sucks, too slow and chews ram like a fat kid at a free pie stall
[08:12] <etherealite>  cat /etc/issue
[08:12] <etherealite> Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS \n \l
[08:12] <pLr> IpSe_DiXiT: plug a usb keyboard to get the =
[08:12] <lyte> any ideas why my apt package isn't installing a /etc/cron.d/apt file and how i might get that file back?
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> Dalarist: if you run:  sudo dhclient3 eth0     doesit get an IP?
[08:12] <etherealite> Firefox works fine for the first 12 hours of use, then starts sucking until I restart it
[08:13] <histo> etherealite: you ahve your browser open for more than 12 hours at a time?
[08:13] <Dalarist> Action: yup.
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> histo: i do but i use chromium, works great
[08:13] <vivek40> ya 12 hours is awesome
[08:13] <etherealite> histo yes, it is open weeks at time
[08:13] <lyte> etherealite: checked top for the flash wrapper? I can keep firefox open for months at a time as long as i kill flash quite often.
[08:13] <noisewaterphd> I use chrome on ubuntu, but I havent closed it in months
[08:13] <histo> ActionParsnip: etherealite sounds like you guys need to go outside.
[08:13] <etherealite> i have to kill flash multiple times a day
[08:13] <Laurenceb> hi
[08:14] <kieths> histo: success and not, both.  The chmod worked perfectly.  Looks like the sudoers file may be corrupted (which is likely happened at the same time as it changed to the wrong mode).  Will re-edit / replace the file, and go from there, armed with your casper mount command.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
[08:14] <vivek40> I dont know but i dont like chrome much
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> etherealite: what is the output of: uname -m   ?
[08:14] <etherealite> killall plugin-container is the most used command in my history
[08:14] <Laurenceb>  http://pastebin.com/em07GxnQ <-any idea what could casue that?
[08:14] <histo> kieths: np
[08:14] <etherealite> ActionParsnip i686
[08:14] <IpSe_DiXiT> pLr: dont get what u mean?
[08:14] <aphid> have an update to the blank desktop I've been stuck at
[08:14] <lyte> etherealite: the process i see is nt<something>.bin.. i'm not on the box that experiences the problem at the moment
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> etherealite: ok and does flash work?
[08:15] <MACscr> if my system did indeed update from 8.04 to 10.04, why does it still say 'Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS, kernel 2.6.24-25-xen' in menu.lst?
[08:15] <aphid> i put in a usb drive to try to back up my home directory... and it popped up a file browser for it :O
[08:15] <lyte> anyone know how i get my /etc/cron.d/apt file back?
[08:15] <etherealite> flash works as long as you don't keep any vids paused for more than an hour
[08:15] <lyte> a simple "aptitude reinstall apt" didn't help
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> lyte: i dont have that file here
[08:15] <etherealite> else flash sound stops working.
[08:15] <pLr> IpSe_DiXiT: you need to press = to resolve ur problem, plug a different keyboard to your comptuer
[08:15] <lyte> ActionParsnip: "dpkg -L apt" lists it as being part of that package :(
[08:15] <noisewaterphd> etherealite: what version of flash?
[08:15] <histo> lyte: there is apt-file
[08:15] <IpSe_DiXiT> histo,pLr: i just found out the UUID of my swap its different from the one on my fstab
[08:16] <etherealite> noisewaterphd the newest flash in the repos
[08:16] <histo> lyte: that would just be a cron job for auto updates maybe?
[08:16] <histo> lyte: the one you want back
[08:16] <pLr> IpSe_DiXiT: that is normal
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> lyte: dpkg -S   shows it in the apt package, if you reinstall that package you can get it, or extract the deb and manually copy the file in place
[08:16] <Dalarist> Action : in summary it looks like the hardware is working fine, the dhcp server is fine, the dhcpclient is fine, and in fact if I force a dhcp request it all works together, but nothing during boot is making that request.
[08:16] <lyte> histo: yeh basically, but i'd rather use the one from the package than right it myself
[08:16] <lyte> ActionParsnip: I have reinstalled the package :(
[08:16] <histo> lyte: I dunno how you got the cron job in the first place
[08:17] <aphid> AndChat - you still around?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> lyte: then the deb will be in /var/cache/apt/archives   copy it to $HOME and extract it, you will then get the file
[08:17] <lyte> don't know if I ever have... just investigating why my apt cache never updates automatically
[08:17] <lyte> ActionParsnip: yeh i might do it
[08:17] <etherealite> So whats the deal? Do I have to restart firefox as soon as it gets slow?
[08:17] <histo> lyte: because it doesn't oon anyones system.
[08:17] <vivek40> hi has anyone here used the touchscreen functionalities of maverick
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Dalarist: if you press tab after typing action it will highlight me like I am doing to you
[08:17] <lyte> histo: documentation says it will
[08:17] <lyte> histo: hence looking for that file
[08:18] <histo> lyte: what documentation?
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> Dalarist: sounds like a bug, you can add the command in /etc/rc.local to run the command after stuff happens as a work around, add it above the exit 0 line
[08:18] <lyte> histo: the googled and now lost in teh tab abyss kind :p
[08:18] <lyte> histo: i'll try a few things like apt-file first
[08:18] <etherealite> ActionParsnip So whats the deal? Do I have to restart firefox as soon as it gets slow?
[08:18] <histo> lyte: okay well ubuntu isn't set up that way
[08:18] <noisewaterphd> etherealite: the last stable flash for 64bit linux was 10.0, which I do not believe is i the repos. There is no 64bit 10.1. The repos must contain 10.2, which is really just a developer preview released by Adobe Labs. Expect a few bugs, and do them a favor by reporting them.
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> etherealite: i suggest you remove or disable addons to see what is making it slow
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> etherealite: thats all I got, I think firefox stinks
[08:19] <plum> hey guys
[08:19] <lyte> histo: also "man apt.conf"
[08:19] <plum> does the upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 automatically restart the computer?
[08:19] <histo> lyte: lyte are you talking about the cron-apt package?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> plum: it will require a manual reboot
[08:19] <lyte> histo: ahh damn it's cron.daily :(
[08:19] <plum> ah sweet, thanks ActionParsnip
[08:19] <etherealite> ActionParsnip I removed myself from the admin group now I can't sudo, do i have to go to init level 1 to get myself backon?
[08:19] <lyte> histo: no not cron-apt
[08:20] <plum> i've got some partitions i'm moving around and growing/shrinking with gparted. don't want them to die in the middle of it
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> etherealite: boot to root recovery console and add yourself to the group there
[08:20] <histo> lyte: there is /etc/cron.daily/apt
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> plum: make sure your backups are sufficiently recent and you have less to worry about
[08:20] <lyte> histo: found the file, now. confusing cron.d and cron.daily... pebkac.
[08:21] <noisewaterphd> what are these "backups" you speak of?
[08:21] <histo> lyte: how about locate have you ever used that?
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> noisewaterphd: ?
[08:21] <plum> they aren't very recent, :(  but i don't really have much to lose on these partitions. just don't want them to become un-recoverable
[08:21] <aphid> So.. After updating to 10.10 I get a blank desktop after authentication.    after putting in a usb thumb drive, a browser for that showed up on the screen.. so it's not completely broken, but I have no menus
[08:21] <noisewaterphd> oh come on, that one was an obvious joke
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> plum: then tread carefully, backups before messing with partitions is a real smart move
[08:21] <lyte> histo: yeh, next time... issue is bad permissions (no +x) on the file
[08:22] <histo> lyte: seems like the default way they do it
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> noisewaterphd: i've been up too long as I ave a nightshift to work so I have to jig my body clock
[08:22] <plum> btw... i have two linux-swap partitions on my /dev/sdb, should i delete one or both of them?
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> noisewaterphd: so humour is lost on me right now
[08:22] <noisewaterphd> ActionParsnip: no worries
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> plum: i think you can only have one, you can raid them though to get more swap space speed
[08:23] <farciarz84> hi, would you recommend me some tool to download/upload speed of my internet connection?
[08:23] <farciarz84> *to limit*
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> farciarz84: www.speedtest.net/
[08:24] <plum> ActionParsnip: they're both swapped on whenever i boot up my computer, but i don't know which one i should turn off / delete. do you have any suggestions? i sort of distrust swap in the first place...
[08:24] <lyte> farciarz84: i like trickle
[08:24] <farciarz84> ActionParsnip: to limit connection
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> plum: its like thepage file in windows except its on its own partition so it doesnt stick the place up
[08:24] <plum> ahh gotcha
[08:25] <plum> ActionParsnip: do you know how i would figure out which one of those is safe to remove? i could use the extra space
[08:25] <gilaniali> is it possible to have a set of command execute everytime a user logs in using ssh?
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> plum: i'd just remove whichever is smallest, ideal for swap is 1xRAM for 2Gb RAM or more and 2xRAM for less than 2Gb RAM
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> plum: whichever, I suggest you consult your /etc/fstab   to see whats going on
[08:25] <richardcavell> Is there a program that will allow me to record my voice stop and start, like a dictaphone?
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> farciarz84: you could use trickle maybe
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> !info trickle
[08:26] <lyte> plum: "swapon -s"
[08:26] <plum> lyte: that'll show which /dev/sdb is in use?
[08:27] <plum> (i unmounted them both to move them around, i can't access now to check)
[08:27] <lyte> plum: yep, pretty sure you can have two at once though so i think it'll just show both
[08:27] <plum> ah
[08:27] <plum> so i should just leave them?
[08:27] <lyte> plum: you can always "swapoff /dev/whatever"
[08:27] <farciarz84> lyte: thx
[08:27] <lyte> plum: dunno, i actually only have a couple of machines that even have a swap partition...
[08:28] <kieths> histo: Thanks again.  Looks like it will require some deep editing.  Calling it a night.  Will pick up the torch in the morning.  Sincere thank, Kieths
[08:28] <plum> lyte: one of them i'm pretty sure was left over, i had some trouble getting ubuntu installed once & reinstalled
[08:28] <plum> so i think the one from that installation is still there
[08:29] <lyte> plum: yeh well "swapon -s" shows active swap parititions, "free" shows memory/swap usage. You have to decide based on your usage patterns what's good
[08:29] <lyte> plum: i doubt it will hurt having two, i doubt you can _badly_ break it by removing one (as long as you "swapoff" first)
[08:30] <dalaristmobile> ActionParsnip you still here?
[08:30] <plum> lyte: i'll check next reboot to see which one is active then. thanks for the swapon -s command :)
[08:31] <lyte> plum: no worries.
[08:31] <llutz_> plum: grep swap /etc/fstab         will tell you
[08:31] <plum> also... i have 4gb of ram, so i don't know even why i would need swap...?
[08:31] <tensorpudding> plum: Hibernate.
[08:32] <zero> ~~
[08:32] <plum> ahh i see
[08:32] <tensorpudding> plum: Also, if you're really taxing your system it can be beneficial for it to use a small amount of swap
[08:32] <llutz_> plum: if you don't need to hibernate you don't need a swap-partition at all. if you really need some swap, you always can add a swapfile later
[08:33] <Laurenceb> http://pastebin.com/UjG19sQz can anyone suggest whats causing that?
[08:33] <Laurenceb> its the main branch of fldigi from the site
[08:33] <plum> i rarely, perhaps never, use hibernation anyway :s
[08:33] <Laurenceb> i compiled on my x64 system
[08:33] <Laurenceb> all the libraries seem ok
[08:34] <dalaristmobile> Alright, looks like Action is gone.  so if anyone can help me along toward a solution it would be great.  My desktop's eth0 (the only network connection) isn't pulling an ip address.  Turns out that dhclient3 doesn't pull an ip address but if i use /etc/init.d/netwroking restart it grabs an ip address and works fine.  I don't want to have to type this in every time, so we tried adding it to /etc/rc.local but no luck there.
[08:34] <blahsphemer> My professor said that linux uses a _fair_ _credit_ based scheduler for scheduling Timesharing classes. I'd like to see the code for that.
[08:34] <blahsphemer> I don't seem to have any luck finding it on google
[08:35] <tensorpudding> blahsphemer: the people at ##linux might know
[08:35] <blahsphemer> tensorpudding, oh okay, thanks a lot
[08:35] <plum> alright guys, i'm gonna go get some sleep while this thing works
[08:36] <Jordan_U> blahsphemer: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6
[08:36] <plum> thanks for the help :)
[08:36] <plum> cya
[08:36] <tensorpudding> Laurenceb: It could be a bug.
[08:38] <Laurenceb> tensorpudding: yeah :S
[08:38] <Laurenceb> but how come it only effects my machine?
[08:39] <lyte> Laurenceb: different fonts on your machine?
[08:39] <lyte> the bit before the stack trace even says who to contact
[08:39] <Laurenceb> heh yeah, but theyll take ages rto respond
[08:39] <icarus-c> blahsphemer, kernel/sched_fair.c
[08:39] <Laurenceb> should i try installing different fonts or something?
[08:40] <blahsphemer> icarus-c, oh great. Thanks, i'll look into it right away
[08:40] <lyte> Laurenceb: nfi.. it's dying during font handling code, that's all i can tell
[08:40] <Laurenceb> i have lbfltk 1.1.7-6 and thats actually listed as compatible in the install notes
[08:41] <lyte> maybe you have too many, maybe you don't have enough, maybe the guy with the email in the stack trace can make a better educated guess... who knows?
[08:41] <Laurenceb> so...
[08:41] <icarus-c> blahsphemer, http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.35.y.git;a=blob;f=kernel/sched_fair.c;h=a878b5332daad5d7db16625f298a4e963edac909;hb=HEAD
[08:41] <Laurenceb> yeah, the fldigi developers are rather slow.. but looks like the only option :(
[08:42] <realubot> I tried to install Ubuntu on a usb flash drive and now Grub2 seem to be damaged at my laptop. There is some bug that installs some part of Grub2 onto the USB and another part to the hhd. Now I need to somehow fix my broken Grub2 at my hdd and install i correctly on my flash drive too. I CAN boot in my system having the USB flash drive inserted because somehow they flash drive AND hdd let me boot into my original Ubuntu
[08:42] <blahsphemer> icarus-c, beautiful, if you were right next to me I'd kiss you right away :). Thank you so much
[08:42] <realubot> How do I fix a broken Grub2 within a booted Ubuntu system (no need for a Live CD here).
[08:42] <histo> realubot: you probably install grub to your hard drive instead of the flash drive
[08:42] <inoob_> realubot, if you are a member of linux magazine
[08:42] <histo> !grub | realubot
[08:42] <inoob_> i saw an article on that
[08:43] <realubot> histo: YEs, a part of it, but not all of it... Well, I have read a bug about it. Some part of Grub2 installed at my hdd and some part at the USB so now I need to have the USB flash drive inserted to boot my original system at the laptop hdd.
[08:43] <dalaristmobile> So dhclient won't grab an ip address but networking restart will.  What's happening here, and is it related to not getting an ipaddress on boot.
[08:44] <wangchao> iuhoi
[08:44] <deftone7> How do I install my wireless drivers on ubuntu remix usb?
[08:44] <lyte> dalaristmobile: do you have hard coded ip addresses in your config? that would *set* an ip during network restart, but not from dhcp...
[08:45] <sin_tax> I have a feeling that the ribbon on my touchpad may be crooked... has that every happened to anyone else?  Left click does both buttons, right click does nothing
[08:45] <sin_tax> wrong channel, sorry
[08:45] <realubot> histo: I have read the tip at Ubuntu Documentation, but I CAN boot into the system so I thought I could reinstall or somehow fix the Grub2 WITHIN the booted system without using the Live CD. I get into my system, so I have to somehow fix the Grub2, like reinstalling it from Terminal.
[08:45] <dalaristmobile> Lyte: nope, networkmanager is removed, so it should be using /etc/network/interfaces right?  Which is set for dhcp
[08:45] <seidos> link to ubuntu with md5 checksums?
[08:46] <realubot> histo: Like sudo grub-insall or smoething from Terminal.
[08:46] <lyte> dalaristmobile: sounds right to me. is the interface up or down when you run dhclient ?
[08:46] <Pr3nt1c3> I'm having trouble getting my soundcard recognised (onboard), neither the rear, or front jacks work.
[08:46] <Pr3nt1c3> Ideas?
[08:46] <deftone7> can anyone tell me how to install my wireless driver on my ubuntu remix i installed to my usb stick with a 1GB persistance?
[08:46] <dalaristmobile> lyte: it's up, i think.  You mean listed under an ifconfig without any parameters
[08:47] <realubot> histo: This is what happened: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/414996
[08:48] <lyte> dalaristmobile: yeh i think that's good enough. You freshly off an install? One of the recent installs had a broken dhclient for me when using wireless. I used ethernet, upgraded, rebooted and everything was fine...
[08:48] <lyte> dalaristmobile: otherwise, no idea.
[08:48] <smalltown_boy345> hi room.. i am planning to run studiobuntu on my eepc.. do you have any idea what all i would need?
[08:48] <dalaristmobile> fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 64-bit
[08:48] <smalltown_boy345> i know that there is a distro called eeuserbuntu or something..
[08:49] <Pr3nt1c3> the netbook version should install fine on the eepc
[08:49] <lyte> dalaristmobile: i reckon see if you can get temporary network working, do apt-get upgrade (or whatever upgrade path floats your boat) and if it still doesn't work, lodge a bug
[08:49] <peppajiggapuff> So I just upgraded my server from 10.04 to 10.10 but on logging in it still says there's a bunch of packages to update and a new release available. What's up with that?
[08:49] <deftone7> Can anyone help me with my wireless??
[08:50] <seidos> releases.ubuntu.com
[08:50] <seidos> mount command?  i've tried sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick that didn't work
[08:51] <Hoober> Anyone know how to get the packages from the soft-ware sources i added to show up in the software center?
[08:51] <llutz_> !dontwork > seidos
[08:51] <seidos> Hoober, no, sorry.  i don't use the software center, i tend to always use apt-get or aptitude :/
[08:51] <deftone7> Does anyone hear what i'm saying in here? lol am I getting through??
[08:51] <rww> deftone7: yes
[08:51] <nitneiht> hi!
[08:51] <lyte> deftone7: usually i search for the chipset with "lspci" and then google for "ubuntu <chipset>"
[08:52] <seidos> llutz_, mount: mount point /media/sdb1 does not exist
[08:52] <llutz_> seidos: create it
[08:52] <blahsphemer> icarus-c, where are the initial credits assigned here in the sched_fair.c?
[08:52] <nitneiht> ubuntu 10.10 was released that so cool but any one can tell me the difference thing about long time support
[08:52] <deftone7> i know exactly what chipset it is but i'm using a usb stick with 1gb persistance.....i can't download it from sanaptic packager
[08:53] <dalaristmobile> lyte: as a follow up, apt-get and the update manager contain no update for me.  so just log a bug?
[08:53] <pavan> hello everyone
[08:53] <rww> nitneiht: LTS releases are supported for 3 years on desktops; normal releases are supported for 1.5 years. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is thus supported until April 2013, and Ubuntu 10.10 (not LTS) is supported until April 2012.
[08:53] <rww> !lts
[08:53] <seidos> llutz_, actually, wrong error.  it was this:  mount: mount point /media/usbstick does not exist
[08:53] <llutz_> seidos: create it (sudo mkdir /media/usbstick)
[08:54] <Moopz> Hey. Was wondering if anyone know an RSS Applet for Gnome?  I want it to show the actual headline on the top panel and then cycle through the most recent ones. I tried grss but it wasn't really what I was looking for.
[08:54] <pavan> I have installed ubuntu netbook remix, it was working fine today morning now its leading to a blank screen, only desktop session is working
[08:54] <pavan> plz help
[08:54] <nitneiht> i dont need to be supported after 2012 , joking
[08:54] <llutz_> seidos: if you manually mount something, you have to make sure the mountpoint exists
[08:54] <rww> lol
[08:54] <lyte> dalaristmobile: that's what i'd do.
[08:55] <seidos> llutz_, /dev/sdb1 exists in /dev
[08:55] <dalaristmobile> lyte: crap...well thanks for all your help.
[08:55] <seidos> llutz_, this is what i am typing at cli:  sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[08:55] <llutz_> seidos: create the mountpoint as the error told you (sudo mkdir /media/usbstick)
[08:55] <nitneiht> if i upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 how about my document for example what happen with my download folder
[08:56] <rww> nitneiht: Upgrades shouldn't affect your documents or anything like that, but you should backup beforehand anyway, as with any other major change.
[08:56] <llutz_> seidos: 3 lines above you wrote /media/usbstick? what command do you really use and what error do you get exactly?
[08:56] <seidos> llutz_, done (but the error didn't tell me to make a directory)
[08:56] <lyte> nitneiht: it will stay. a release upgrade is *basically* just a bunch of apt-gets
[08:56] <dto> hi. finally tried the realtime kernel, it dies during boot (and drops to textmode prompt)
[08:56] <nitneiht> thanx lyte rww
[08:56] <deftone7> wow getting no luck...lol
[08:57] <dto> after trying to recompile the nvidia driver under that, it says headers for realtime kernel arent installed so it skips that module build. but now i can't boot either kernel, hangs on purple high-res ubuntu loading screen with 5 orange dots that don't change
[08:57] <lyte> deftone7: if you know the chipset and have google there is likely to be some documentation somewhere that will tell you packages to install and how to enabled the modules... we're not in front of your computer though
[08:58] <ljsoftnet> how do i disable wireless at startup?

[09:10] <bazhang> blackshell, you dont. use the package manager
[09:10] <rww> sudo apt-get install xfce4
[09:10] <travkin> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[09:10] <blackshell> bazhang:how?
[09:11] <rww> or xubuntu-desktop, if you want additional xubuntuy things
[09:11] <icarus-c> blahsphemer, sorry i was away. i'm no kernel hacker so i don't know. but i suppose it is well documented.  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.35.y.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/scheduler/sched-design-CFS.txt;h=8239ebbcddce1d9b84689b8e1be530243bee5f83;hb=HEAD
[09:11] <bazhang> blackshell, see above
[09:11] <blackshell> travkin:i already downloaded a tar file
[09:11] <travkin> blackshell, type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop in your terminal
[09:11] <travkin> no need in tar file
[09:11] <ljsoftnet> llutz_ is that lspci or lscpi?
[09:11] <tiox> Aaaagh, someone help me.
[09:11] <furi> installing mesa results in "configure: error: X11 development libraries needed for dri driver" on ubuntu 10.10. what should i do?
[09:11] <blackshell> tarvkin:as a matter of fact i downloaded the tar file from xfce website itself only
[09:11] <aubrey> Question: I can't change the volume on my pure USB Speakers, it can be either max or zero.
[09:12] <tiox> I am trying to use the command tar -zxvf hamachi-0.9.9.9-x.tar.gz but it fails. Is there a specific place I should put the file?
[09:12] <aubrey> jaunty 9.04
[09:12] <Mossyfunk> lspci
[09:12] <travkin> blackshell, if you want to install XFCE from sources, you have to use another distro, like Gentoo. Ubuntu is based for binary packages
[09:12] <travkin> installing XFCE from sources is incorrect way and may lead to some conflicts in future
[09:12] <travkin> so just follow the tips
[09:13] <deftone7> wow having no luck....last time did this was with fedora and it was 2 years ago

[09:13] <blackshell> and one more thing,i prevously insatlled kde from terminal and then ran "sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop",but still most of the kde applicaton are still there?how do i remove that?
[09:13] <aubrey> Mossyfunk: you meant me and my USB speakers with lspci ?
[09:13] <bazhang> !puregnome > blackshell
[09:14] <deftone7> i need to activate the Broadcom STA Wireless drivers on my ubuntu remix usb stick
[09:14] <travkin> !purekde > blackshell
[09:14] <travkin> not gnome
[09:15] <Mossyfunk> aubrey, srry was referring to ljsoftnet's question
[09:15] <llutz_> seidos: read carefully, its not mounted ("mount" to check)
[09:16] <ljsoftnet> llutz_ is this the module name "02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)"
[09:16] <seidos> llutz_, it is listed in /media ?
[09:16] <llutz_> seidos: the presence of a mountpoint doesn't mean its mounted
[09:16] <seidos> llutz_, affirmative
[09:16] <aubrey> Mossyfunk: perhaps you know something about pre USB speakers in Ubuntu ?
[09:16] <aubrey> s/pre/pure
[09:16] <Moopz> Does anyone know any RSS applet for Gpanel that acts like ticker tape?
[09:17] <llutz_> ljsoftnet: some lines down, theres "kernel module". thats the one you need
[09:17] <Mossyfunk> aubrey, I don't sorry.... very new to linux myself.
[09:17] <aubrey> Mossyfunk: aye, thanks
[09:17] <ljsoftnet> llutz_ ok
[09:18] <llutz_> ljsoftnet: "kernel driver ...." and "kernel module"    should contain a module name (ath5k most likely)
[09:18] <Moopz> Anyone...?

[09:21] <aanti> hi there
[09:22] <aanti> where can i download latest iso from daily kubuntu-live/installation iso, preferrably somethinh for an usb stick ?
[09:22] <Moopz> Is it because no one knows an applet that does that or because no one cares enough to respond?
[09:22] <DesiArnez6> Wondering if anyone knows how I can remove the streaming program "HQTube"?
[09:23] <inoob_> What is the best SVN for a newbie to use?
[09:23] <llutz_> DesiArnez6: how did you install it?
[09:24] <aanti> where can i download latest kubuntu daily snapshot ?
[09:24] <aanti> preferrably in ISO format or something for my usb stick ?
[09:24] <aanti> erm HI btw
[09:25] <llutz_> aanti: cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily
[09:25] <aanti> thanks
[09:25] <rww> aanti: There isn't a "latest Kubuntu daily snapshot". Kubuntu 10.10 was just released, and development of Kubuntu 11.04 hasn't started yet.
[09:25] <rww> just use a 10.10 ISO.

[09:41] <llutz_> ljsoftnet: sorry i don't know any other way to disable it (which does not mean, there's no)
[09:42] <dbruce77> netwerk, I will look around and see what I can find....it will run 10.04 but not this...really lame
[09:42] <llutz_> DesiArnez6: check that script for an "uninstall" option or check what it installed and remove that manually.
[09:42] <kibibyte> hi

[09:43] <kkkk> иди на хуй
[09:44] <Moopz> Does anyone know any RSS applet for Gnome that acts like ticker tape?
[09:44] <llutz_> ljsoftnet: just remove that line from blacklist-file
[09:44] <llac> kkkk: which irc client do you use? how do you type that?

[09:47] <ae86-drifter> can somebody pls help me boot my maverick, i am getting mount errors
[09:47] <tomolds> ae86-drifter: you're not the only one
[09:47] <ae86-drifter> tomolds  what does yours say?
[09:47] <tomolds> ae86-drifter: let me guess General error ?
[09:48] <ae86-drifter> no, according to mtab, none is already mounted on /lib/init/rw ; mountall: mount /lib/init/rw terminated with exit status 1.
[09:48] <tomolds> ae86-drifter: different to me then.
[09:48] <AlHafoudh> bazhang: many thanks
[09:48] <Moopz> Does anyone know any RSS applet for Gnome that acts like ticker tape?
[09:48] <tomolds> ae86-drifter: I got the impression that it's less error prone if you have a fresh disk.
[09:49] <tomolds> ae86-drifter: hence I'm nuking my drive and installing it fresh.
[09:49] <ubuntovod> Hey all. I am buddy kkkkk
[09:49] <ae86-drifter> tomolds, yeah..... im not doing that
[09:49] <ubuntovod> фыв
[09:49] <ae86-drifter> i dont want to anyway
[09:50] <llutz_> !ru >ubuntovod
[09:51] <dotblank-laptop> is there a time limit on cronjobs?
[09:51] <solidus-river> i think i just set up a mail server, how do i send out a test mail?
[09:51] <jpds> dotblank-laptop: No.
[09:51] <ae86-drifter> depends on the job
[09:51] <Moopz> Can people not read what I am writing or what?
[09:51] <llutz_> solidus-river: mail -s testmail foo@bar.org
[09:51] <bobba> Hi :) I've got a fresh install - console only - and I can't type the | key on the fresh install... They keyboard layout is clearly wrong.  I know how to change it in gnome, but I haven't got a clue how I can get the | key in the terminal - can anyone help?
[09:52] <dotblank-laptop> It seems to abort my tar -caf command
[09:52] <ae86-drifter> Moopz there are hundreds out there
[09:52] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, any that can be integrated into Gpanel? I haven't been able to find any.
[09:52] <sweetpi> Moopz: either nobody knows, or the ones that do are sleeping or dont feel like responding
[09:52] <Leon81> Hello there..  I have a very minor problem I was hoping someone could help me deal with (I'm a Ubuntu novice)
[09:53] <solidus-river> llutz_: mail command is not found
[09:53] <ae86-drifter> Moopz sear5ch for rss aggregator gnome in google
[09:53] <Moopz> ae86-drifter,  all of them are a seperate program that just opens. I just want to be able to read the headlines without having to open a seperate program
[09:53] <llutz_> solidus-river: install bsd-mailx
[09:53] <llutz_> solidus-river: then          mailx -s testmail foo@bar.org
[09:53] <ae86-drifter> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-rss-readers-available-in-ubuntu.html
[09:54] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, that gives me the same programs that I've tried and I couldn't find anything that integrates with the panel
[09:55] <solidus-river> llutz_: should that command take a looong long time?
[09:55] <ae86-drifter> Moopz, well i have one as part of google desktop, maybe you should use that, or something similar, like a widget or panel...
[09:55] <llutz_> solidus-river: it waits until you wrote the mailtext and end with a "." on a newline
[09:55] <dotblank-laptop> if I use a tar-v command in cron will it quit
[09:55] <dotblank-laptop> seems to abot ovcer time
[09:56] <llutz_> solidus-river: doesn't it tell you this?
[09:56] <dotblank-laptop> maybe its due to too much stdout?
[09:56] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, Google Desktop does the same as some of the other programs.
[09:56] <solidus-river> llutz_: not when you issue the command, i should have read the man pages but i was blindly copying your command :)
[09:56] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, as far as I can see
[09:56] <llutz_> dotblank-laptop: why do you use -v in a cronjob?
[09:56] <RudyValencia> hm
[09:57] <Leon81> I somehow lost my notification area panel and not sure how to get it back..
[09:57] <dotblank-laptop> llutz, well its a command we sometimes run manually
[09:57] <ae86-drifter> Moopz, err ok
[09:57] <dotblank-laptop> llutz, it calls a script and inside the script it has a tar with a -v
[09:58] <ae86-drifter> Moopz, do you want it in the panel?
[09:58] <llutz_> solidus-river: sorry my bad, i was sure it gives that help :(
[09:58] <Moopz> ae86-drifter,  Yes, I want it to show me the headlines as text on the panel. Perhaps scroll over the screen like ticker tape.
[09:59] <bobba> dotblank-laptop, Check to see if it's an interactive shell within the script - if it isn't, dont use the -v
[09:59] <ae86-drifter> Moopz, there i googled it for you : GNUsTicker - RSS/RDF/Atom Ticker and more, Gnome panel applet aggregator
[09:59] <solidus-river> llutz_: thats wierd, wtih my mail server i can recieve e-mail and i can check my inbox, but it doesnt seem like sending mail is working. Could i have forgot to open a port?
[09:59] <ae86-drifter> wasn't hard, was on the first page
[09:59] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, That just gives me an archive that I have no clue on how to install.
[09:59] <netwerk> RudyValencia, change your color depth to 16 and see if that helps, i see that a lot with cards using 24 but only having accelleration at 16
[10:00] <RudyValencia> netwerk: of what?
[10:00] <ukd1_> hi guys, I've got 10.10 server installed on virtualbox - I installed cloud-init package and now my vm doesn't boot properly (i.e. doesn't get to a login prompt, even in recovery mode). I can see a message saying cloud-init terminated and then a bunch of messages saying "DataSourceEc2.py[WARNING]: .... url error [timed out]"
[10:00] <bobba> dotblank-laptop, or redirect the output within the cron command so it doesn't go to stdout but a log file instead
[10:00] <ae86-drifter> Moopz: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=135963&package_id=149370&release_id=319751
[10:00] <llutz_> solidus-river: check logs to find the errors
[10:00] <netwerk> of your xsession/destop resolution
[10:00] <Felix__> How do i stop the installer from trieing to install grub?
[10:00] <solidus-river> llutz_: nevermind, it worked but it got sent to spam filter by gmail
[10:00] <Felix__> Ubuntu 10.10
[10:00] <RudyValencia> this is a laptop, onboard video is an nvidia geforce 4 go 440
[10:00] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, as said, I have no clue how to install that. I tried.
[10:00] <Jordan_U> Felix__: Did you try the alternate install CD yet?
[10:00] <ae86-drifter> Moopz, try harder or stop using linux
[10:01] <merciza> Hi
[10:01] <merciza> I am looking for someone to help me with adding a driver to the mini.iso
[10:01] <netwerk> RudyValencia, i see it on this thinkpad laptop most often
[10:01] <Felix__> i need the live cd, cause i have to build my own parted before installation (raid10 dualboot)
[10:01] <Jordan_U> Felix__: And could you file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug ubiquity" about the problem you're having with the live installer?
[10:01] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, ....
[10:01] <merciza> i have 1 huge issue which is I dont have a linux box at the moment
[10:01] <ae86-drifter> Moopz, i just downloaded it, there are CLEAR instructions
[10:02] <ukd1_> any ideas guys?
[10:02] <seidos> can't use /msg nickserv identify command in empathy :(
[10:02] <ae86-drifter> cat README
[10:02] <netwerk> RudyValencia, is you are using the 'nvidia' restricted drivers you can use nvidia-settings to try different layouts
[10:02] <atude> Hi, I just tried to upgrade ubuntu though the package manager, and it seems to have failed... now i'm stuck in a dependency loop and cannot upgrade anything
[10:02] <atude> what do I do?
[10:02] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, The INSTALL file doesn't make me any wiser.
[10:03] <seidos> atude: did you upgrade to a new distro?  from what to what?
[10:03] <ae86-drifter> what about typing "./configure; make; sudo make install" ?
[10:03] <ljsoftnet> llutz_ hey i got it working
[10:03] <atude> seidos: I tried to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10
[10:03] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, where?
[10:03] <atude> seidos: the upgrade aborted
[10:03] <ae86-drifter> wherever you extracted it to
[10:04] <ljsoftnet> llutz_ how about the trackpad and the two buttons on my netbook, can i blacklist it also?
[10:04] <RudyValencia> netwerk: when I install the nvidia drivers my laptop's screen doesn't come on
[10:04] <netwerk> RudyValencia,  not even in console mode ?
[10:04] <RudyValencia> (it works in the consoles but not in the X session
[10:04] <netwerk> thats normal
[10:04] <netwerk> have to set x up properly to use it
[10:05] <RudyValencia> ok
[10:05] <netwerk> nvidia-xsetup
[10:05] <ljsoftnet> how about the trackpad and the two buttons on my netbook, can i blacklist it also?
[10:05] <RudyValencia> I thought it was nvidia-xconfig
[10:05] <netwerk> might be nvidia-xconfig
[10:05] <netwerk> ya
[10:05] <ae86-drifter> Moopz, try opening a terminal, cd to the directory you extracted it to, type "./configure; make; sudo make install"
[10:05] <RudyValencia> that's when my screen stops working
[10:05] <RudyValencia> is when nvidia-xconfig writes the xorg.conf
[10:05] <RudyValencia> (and I restart gdm)
[10:05] <netwerk> been a cpl days since ive had to use it, drove me nuts on public access server, still a lil flakey in vnc too
[10:06] <seidos> atude: sorry, i'm on a live usb testing out some stuff.  did someone answer your question?
[10:06] <Moopz> ae86-drifter, Doesn't work, getting: make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
[10:06] <solidus-river> hmm my ssl authentication is not working using gmail to access my dovecot server, the only error i get is that there is an ssl error and i should check my ports
[10:06] <heivind> is there any way to scale the gnome userinterface? im running my screen in the max resolution it support, but i still think the menus, buttons, fonts and icons could be smaller than they are.
[10:06] <merciza> or if anyone could help show me where i could see if my driver is supported in the ubuntu 10.10 mini iso?
[10:06] <netwerk> you have to manually edit it and adjust the setting that is killing x
[10:06] <ae86-drifter> Moopz, type pwd and what does it say
[10:06] <netwerk> you can look in the xserver.log file to find out which part it hung up on
[10:06] <atude> seidos: no
[10:07] <Moopz> /home/mathias/Documents/GNUsTicker
[10:07] <ae86-drifter> Moopz, pastebin the whole terminal session
[10:08] <RudyValencia> netwerk: me?
[10:08] <netwerk> like in my case it wanted to make it 1280x1024/24 hardware said it could use, monitor said it could not, but i found what needed chaning in the log file
[10:08] <seidos> atude: well, i'm not really sure what the error is, but i just realized myself that trying out an upgrade version of ubuntu on a live usb first is a great idea before upgrading...if you can afford a live usb that is.  but let me check launchpad for you.  can you provide more details?
[10:08] <netwerk> yes RudyValencia
[10:08] <RudyValencia> x is working it's just that it thinks the VGA output is the default screen
[10:08] <ukd1_> exit
[10:08] <netwerk> you can force that too
[10:08] <hellnest> hello
[10:08] <cell0> anyone know of a good network statistics collector? i asked this question yesterday but didn't really get any feedback
[10:08] <hellnest> can someone PM Me
[10:08] <hellnest> i need an advice
[10:09] <netwerk> RudyValencia, multi head outputs are covered in the xorg.conf that it makes
[10:09] <ikonia> hellnest: what's up ?
[10:09] <lyte> cell0: long term or short term?
[10:09] <atude> seidos: I have no other details.. what is it that you're looking for? Also, I'm not interested in wiping my entire partition just to update packages.. that's rediculous
[10:09] <cell0> lyte: long term
[10:09] <netwerk> RudyValencia, you can then just switch out the one set for default
[10:09] <haakonn> the maverick kernel broke sound (it just echoes endlessly), hibernation (it never wakes up again) and logout/reboot (from kde). rebooting into the .32 kernel solves everything, but this is not exactly a long term solution :(
[10:09] <hellnest> which version of ubuntu that support sis mirage 3+
[10:10] <hellnest> i search over internet and tole me that 9.04 version is suitable for sis mirage 3+ VGA
[10:10] <seidos> atude: no, not wiping out partitions.  just trying the distro out from a live usb to see how it works on your hardware.  i am checking launchpad to see if anyone else has had the same problem
[10:10] <RudyValencia> I don't know much about xorg.conf
[10:10] <ikonia> hellnest: good question, SIS support in general is poor, especially around 3d acceleration, most tend to use the "vesa" (stable but no acceleration) driver
[10:10] <atude> it works fine for my hardware
[10:10] <atude> @ seidos
[10:10] <malv> why am I having problems getting ubuntu to mount my encrypted partition?
[10:10] <malv> did they change the format of crypttab or something?
[10:10] <rohdef> where's sun/oracle java in maverick?
[10:10] <lawrence> hello
[10:11] <seidos> atude: then i do not understand your question.  i thought you upgraded from jaunty to maverick (10.04 to 10.10) and you were having a problem with it "looping"
[10:11] <RudyValencia> partner repo
[10:11] <lyte> cell0: i've used a long term one at work but the name is aluding me :(
[10:11] <hellnest> ikonia can you PM me?
[10:11] <hellnest> i want to discuss
[10:11] <hellnest> :)
[10:11] <netwerk> RudyValencia, the default is well commented and also opening: man xorg.conf in a 2nd window/screen helps a bunch too, its a lot easier then looks at first, exspecially if you already have a set up one to compare with
[10:11] <hellnest> ig you have free time also
[10:11] <hellnest> hehehe
[10:11] <FloodBot1> hellnest: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:11] <atude> seidos: I "attempted" to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10, but the upgrade aborted (packaage manager)
[10:11] <ikonia> hellnest: just talk in the channel
[10:11] <hellnest> ok so if i install 9;04 version would it be ok?
[10:11] <RudyValencia> I don't
[10:12] <cell0> lyte: looking for ntop type reports but on a ongoing basis
[10:12] <seidos> atude: oh, i see.  i thought the upgrade was botched and you couldn't boot.
[10:12] <Rembo> всем привет
[10:12] <ikonia> hellnest: no, as you said it is marked as quite unstable
[10:12] <seidos> atude: did you get a specific error back from synaptic?
[10:12] <e01> rembo, zdaroi
[10:12] <netwerk> afk a bit
[10:12] <hellnest> so 9.04 is marked as a unstable version for ubuntu?
[10:12] <rohdef> how do I install java in Maverick?
[10:12] <atude> atude: something about a series of packages not being able to install, the upgrade would abort.. that's it
[10:13] <ikonia> hellnest: no, the sis xorg driver, they are of a poor quality in general in my personal opinion
[10:13] <atude> atude: it's not at all specific, which is another problem..
[10:13] <atude> seidos: **
[10:13] <hellnest> oh about that i already know :)... not only a crap it's a trash! hehe
[10:13] <lyte> cell0: tcptrack is good short term... ahah i remembered... pmacct is the one we use for long term accounting
[10:14] <hellnest> anyway i'm only have this one so do you have any sugesttion which version i should install?
[10:14] <Rembo> сдесь че все не порусски пишут?
[10:14] <MaryJones> Can somebody help me with a problem I am having?
[10:14] <ikonia> !ru  | Rembo
[10:14] <rohdef> Rembo, english please
[10:14] <atude> seidos: my fear is that why I reboot, I will not boot properly and will have to go into recovery mode.. that being said, trying to update or backtrack would be unlikely since I'm stuck in a dependency loop
[10:14] <cast> MaryJones: not if you don't tell anyone what it is
[10:14] <ikonia> MaryJones: if you ask a question
[10:14] <seidos> atude: i am searching here:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ for "upgrade to maverick failed"
[10:14] <atude> seidos: .... okay
[10:14] <atude> seidos: do you have any idea why i'd be stuck in a dependency loop?
[10:15] <Rembo> нафига?
[10:15] <Rembo> нафига?
[10:15] <seidos> atude: no i don't.  i would have to google your problem.  do some research to see what i can find.
[10:16] <cell0> lyte: thanks i'll take a look see
[10:16] <hellnest> dannyboy can you PM me?
[10:17] <dannyboy> If I want to install ubuntu for a friend who is not too computer savvy (coming from windows vista) should I stick to the long term support 10.04 version or install 10.10?
[10:17] <hellnest> do you the one who post somwhere arround internet regarding SIS Chipset?
[10:17] <atude> Does anyone have any idea how I can break free of this dependency loop? I have attempted to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.4 and of course, the update failed/aborted and none of the packages feel that they need to update as well
[10:17] <ikonia> hellnest: why are you asking people to pm you
[10:17] <ikonia> hellnest: what is your question ?
[10:17] <haakonn> dannyboy:  i would pick lts myself, too much trouble with karmick for a newbie
[10:17] <rohdef> oh there is a ppa for sun/oracle java why all this resistance against sun/oracle java?
[10:17] <atude> What do I do to reset whatever is looking for dependencies?
[10:17] <atude> or ignore them
[10:18] <ikonia> rohdef: didnt some mention earlier it was in the partner repository ?
[10:18] <dannyboy> haakonn, awesome thanks =)
[10:18] <rohdef> ikonia, don't think so, didn't see it in that case
[10:18] <ikonia> !java
[10:19] <ikonia> rohdef: is the partner repo enabled ?
[10:19] <hellnest> ikonia : i need a discussion, can't read clearly when talking in room that's why i'm ask someone to PM. i just curious about Ubuntu and how to get it work with my notebook which is not friendly for linux. Sorry if i bothering your place
[10:19] <malv> anyone knows whats different between 10.10 and 10.04 in setting up luks?
[10:19] <rohdef> ikonia, yes, it's not there on maverick as far as I can see
[10:19] <malv> geezus christ, what a pain in the ass
[10:19] <ikonia> hellnest: try it, see if it works, but as I said SIS support is poor in Linux
[10:19] <Scoon_> Hi, new to ubuntu just have a couple of things. Firstly I can remove things from the launcher, but how do I add programs? Doesn't respond to right click
[10:19] <Scoon_> using netbook remix btw
[10:20] <sweetpi> hellnest: just download 10.10 live cd and see how well it works
[10:20] <ikonia> malv: calm down a bit please
[10:20] <rohdef> ikonia, maybe the docs should be corrected
[10:20] <rohdef> ?
[10:20] <ikonia> rohdef: if it's not there, they certainly do need correcting
[10:20] <MaryJones> I have a dell laptop running at a resolution of 1280x800 and an external dell LCD which runs at 1600x1200. No i could use these under 10.04 however my external no longer displays after a 10.10 install
[10:21] <vak> hi huys
[10:21] <rohdef> ikonia, but can you enlighten my on why people prefer openjdk over sun/oracle?
[10:21] <ikonia> rohdef: no idea
[10:21] <rohdef> ikonia, ok, thanks
[10:21] <haakonn> rohdef:  some people prefer free software
[10:22] <vak> blueman seems to be the easiest way to share Internet from our computers to mobile phones via bluetooth.
[10:22] <llutz_> rohdef: they prefer free soft, see oracle/sun as $evil
[10:22] <dannyboy> rohdef, openjdk is open source... sun java is closed source
[10:22] <ikonia> dannyboy: sun java isn't closed source
[10:22] <Scoon_> Hi guys just need some help re ubuntu netbook remix. Need to add program to launcher, unsure how. Looked through help docs but launcher doesn't respond to right click
[10:22] <dannyboy> oh ok my bad
[10:22] <haakonn> ikonia:  yes, it is for now
[10:22] <seidos> atude: i don't think ignoring dependencies is a good idea.
[10:22] <rohdef> haakonn, no?
[10:22] <vak> Are there any definitive guide on how to get Internet on our mobile phones via bluetooth?
[10:23] <haakonn> rohdef:  sun java 6 is proprietary software
[10:23] <malv> ok next question, why cant I find the  cryptab file in busybox?
[10:23] <malv> I regenerated the initramfs after installing cryptsetup
[10:23] <mR0> My gnome menu (places) won't open. It shown "No application is registered as handling this file". How can I fix it?
[10:24] <kedarm> How do I debug when my autom4te failed with exit status: 1  (no further information)?
[10:24] <ikonia> !softsource
[10:24] <rohdef> haakonn, ok seem to remember wrong, I actually thought that java was opensourced, my bad
[10:24] <rohdef> haakonn, either that or oracle made sure to hide the source as good as possible
[10:25] <atude> seidos: okay, so how do I go about breaking this dependency loop? Ignoring the dependency and installing the dependents one by one seems to make a whole lot of sense
[10:25] <haakonn> rohdef:  java *was* opensourced, as openjdk. openjdk is the codebase that will eventually turn into sun/oracle jdk 7 (mostly), but for now java 6 is stable and is not free
[10:25] <ankitg__> hi
[10:25] <atude> seidos: in fact, it's the only thing I can think of atm though would fix the problem
[10:25] <rohdef> llutz, by "see oracle/sun" as $evil" do you mean that they do or as I should?
[10:25] <DarkStar1> richardcavell: have you tried that dicta software you recommened?
[10:25] <ankitg__> i want to  update all packages except one how can i skip that
[10:26] <Scoon_> Hi guys sorry if I'm impatient I was under the impression that this would be the place to go to get some support. Please let me know if this is not the right place
[10:26] <rohdef> haakonn, ok, I'm confused then, because why doesn't openjdk then support all the stuff oracle java does?
[10:26] <llutz_> ankitg__: set the one on hold (aptitude hold package)
[10:26] <ae86-drifter> what is the go with sun virtualbox, whats the difference withween it & OSE ? they look the same....
[10:26] <richardcavell> DarkStar1: yes
[10:26] <JAMD456> How do I enable desktop sharing in Ubuntu?
[10:26] <haakonn> rohdef:  it mostly does, but there are some tiny things (snmp most notably) that sun couldn't open source
[10:26] <llutz_> ae86-drifter: OSE has no USB-support
[10:26] <richardcavell> DarkStar1: It's OS X though
[10:26] <richardcavell> not Ubuntu
[10:27] <haakonn> rohdef:  and a big reason for preferring sun jdk in important places is that it has been much better tested than openjdk
[10:27] <lowkey> ellow, how can I encrypt whole partiton with dm_crypt in new Ubuntu 10.10 .. ?
[10:27] <rohdef> haakonn, snmp is that commonly used for homebanking and security related stuff?
[10:28] <haakonn> rohdef:  it's used for network diagnosis afaik
[10:28] <ae86-drifter> simple network monitoring protocol
[10:28] <haakonn> rohdef:  but banking systems often check the specific jdk versjon and doesn't understand "openjdk"
[10:28] <Scoon_> Guys? Is this programming chat or ubuntu community support? Is it possible to ask a question here?
[10:28] <rohdef> haakonn, ah then it makes sense
[10:28] <cast> Scoon_: the latter, ask whatever you want
[10:28] <ae86-drifter> you can use it in the 80's for monitoring old printers and machines..
[10:28] <richardcavell> Scoon_: it's end user support.  What do you want to ask?
[10:28] <haakonn> home banking + java is bad news, mostly :)
[10:29] <Mosaert33> hey Jordan_U, I'm back (Brandon123456), the Fedora way didn't work :S. So I installed b43-fwcutter again, and now I had the idea to go to the USC and I searched for b43, and it gives me 4 results, says I installed 1 of them (obvy), but there are 3 more left, would any of those work?
[10:29] <sulumar> Scoon_, its community support
[10:29] <rohdef> haakonn, home banking + java = almost all banks in DK
[10:29] <llutz_> ae86-drifter: snmp is still used, on modern hardware too
[10:29] <Scoon_> Okay, I'm using netbook remix, I can remove items from the launcher but can't add. Looked in support docs but the launcher doesn't bring up a menu on right click
[10:29] <haakonn> rohdef:  same here, luckily my bank gives me a choice
[10:29] <rohdef> haakonn, lucky bastard  :)
[10:30] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: What exactly did you install?
[10:30] <Rembo> дайте ссылк на ru
[10:30] <Jordan_U> !ru | Rembo
[10:30] <Scoon_> were you asking me Jordan?
[10:30] <ankitg__> aptitude hold package is showing E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[10:30] <ankitg__> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root
[10:30] <Scoon_> Chrome,  just want to add it to launcher
[10:30] <ae86-drifter> llutz_ i think your right, but you need to get MIB files for each device and newer vendors supply these?
[10:31] <llutz_> ae86-drifter: some do
[10:31] <llutz_> ankitg__: use sudo
[10:31] <rohdef> haakonn, but well might as well try if my homebanking works in openjdk, but as long as most banks don't work in openjdk I can't see it as nothing but a cute toy
[10:31] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  I did "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter", but it didn't ask me to fetch it or so :(
[10:32] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Do you have a /lib/firmware/b43 directory?
[10:32] <haakonn> rohdef:  i use java for many things, and openjdk always works, but i can see your point :)
[10:33] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  nope (but the Terminal clearly said it's installed, and the USC says it's installed too, so maybe I need to reboot before it takes effect?)
[10:33] <masterr> hello everybody please help me with my Acer Aspire 7738G Touch Volume control
[10:33] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Try downloading http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz , I think my connection is stable enough at the moment that you should be able to do it.
[10:33] <masterr> how can i use it under ubuntu
[10:34] <ankitg__> thanks now its working
[10:34] <masterr> hello everybody please help me with my Acer Aspire 7738G Touch Volume control
[10:34] <masterr> how can i use it in Ubuntu ?
[10:35] <ankitg__> its still not being hold
[10:35] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  so no reboot is required? (I downloaded the package from your site btw)
[10:35] <sam__> guten morgen, ich habe eine frage..ich habe ubuntu 10.10 netbook installliert, alles lief auch ganz gut, bis ich gestern üner systemaktualisierung den intel  grafik treiber updatete( ppa:glazen). nach der Installation startet ubuntu nicht mehr richtig, es erscheint nur noch das hintegrundbild aber kein  menü maus, etx..mit STRG-ALT-ENf kommt aber das abmeldemenü
[10:36] <Jordan_U> !de | sam__
[10:36] <llutz_> !de > sam__
[10:36] <masterr> hello everybody please help me with my Acer Aspire 7738G Touch Volume control
[10:36] <masterr> how can i use it in Ubuntu ?
[10:36] <Jordan_U> !patience | masterr
[10:37] <ankitg__> there are 60 packages to be upgraded first one is 19% [1 linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic 17.1MB/31.5MB 54%] how to skipp this please tell me
[10:37] <Scoon_> Is there anyone who can help with the netbook remix? Just a simple Q, first time ubuntu user
[10:38] <ikonia> Scoon_: why don't you just ask the question, rather than asking if someone maybe able to help
[10:38] <Scoon_> Well I did actually ask it ikonia, but nobody answered it
[10:38] <ikonia> Scoon_: then nobody is available to help you
[10:38] <Scoon_> well you must be if you are able to respond
[10:39] <seidos> er, aptitude is no longer included in 10.10?  or is it because i'm running a live usb?
[10:39] <masterr> hello everybody please help me with my Acer Aspire 7738G Touch Volume control
[10:39] <masterr> how can i use it in Ubuntu ?
[10:39] <ikonia> Scoon_: no, or I would have helped
[10:39] <llutz_> seidos: they dropped it from default-install/live-cd
[10:39] <whitman> I've got Ubuntu 10.10 installed in VirtualBox and I've enabled desktop effects to 'Normal', if I move a window to the top or bottom so that it sticks to a panel it then gets stuck to the panel and I can't drag it away.  Trying to move the window only moves it to the right.  Is there a work-around/fix for this?
[10:39] <Mosaert33> so Jordan_U, I won't reboot, and I'll do "sudo apt-get remove b43-fwcutter"? Then extract the tarball from you into /lib/firmware/b43?
[10:39] <Scoon_> Instead of debating whether you are able, why don't you help; I need to add a program to the launcher bar in the netbook remix
[10:40] <ikonia> whitman: using desktop effects on virtual box isn't a good idea, as the video card is virtual
[10:40] <ikonia> Scoon_: I just said, if I was able to help, I would have done
[10:40] <Scoon_> well you implied it was because you were unable
[10:40] <Scoon_> as in, busy
[10:40] <seidos> masterr: i'm not sure what i would do if i were you...just remap the keys, and create a bug in launchpad.  then wait.  i use cntrl up and cntrl down for vol up and down
[10:40] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: No ned to remove b43-fwcutter. And yes, extract it into /lib/firmware/b43/ by running "sudo tar -xf /path/to/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/"
[10:41] <seidos> llutz_: what do you use to search for packages from cli?
[10:41] <whitman> ikonia, I know that, and the effects work fine even if I bump the effects up to 'Extra', but for some reason the windows are sticking to panels and getting stuck.  This didn't happen on 10.04 in VirtualBox.
[10:41] <llutz_> seidos: apt-cache search
[10:41] <seidos> llutz_: acknowledged
[10:41] <cousteau`work> I have a program that requires the libstdc++.so.5
[10:42] <cousteau`work> I can find the libstdc++5 package on jaunty and maverick but not karmic. Should I symlink libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.6 as a workaround?
[10:42] <cousteau`work> s/karmic/lucid/
[10:43] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  does that become this? sudo tar -xf /home/brandon/Downloads/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/
[10:43] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Yes.
[10:43] <Mosaert33> ok
[10:44] <atude> Hi, I just tried to upgrade ubuntu though the package manager, and it seems to have failed... now i'm stuck in a dependency loop and cannot upgrade anything
[10:44] <tonysan> I connects through ssh tunnel, but the console shows "channel 8: open failed: connect failed: Connection timed out"
[10:44] <tonysan> how do I deal with it? or is it just normal?
[10:44] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  it asked me for my password, and I checked, and I now have a folder /lib/firmware/b43
[10:45] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Once you've extracted the firmware try running "sudo rmmod b43 ssb wl" Then "sudo modprobe b43"
[10:45] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  should the 2nd command follow by && or do I enter it once the first is successfully entered?
[10:46] <seidos> is there a package for the flash plugin in 10.10?  is it not available from live usb?
[10:46] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Either way.
[10:49] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  apologies for the interruption, but I just experienced one of those random disconnects again
[10:49] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  you said "once you've extracted the firmware", how do I do that?
[10:50] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: That was the command I already gave you, since you have a /lib/firmware/b43/ directory it worked.
[10:50] <Mosaert33> oh ok
[10:50] <Mosaert33> so I'll do the first command you gave me now
[10:52] <cousteau`work> never mind, libstdc++.so.5 was included as part of the program I'm using, but it wasn't on the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[10:53] <Greenstuff> hey, I have this problem where ushare was starting on boot, but rescently it stopped. I can start it manually using /etc/init.d/ushare start but it won't start on boot even after running update-rc.d sgain
[10:54] <ae86-drifter> im gonna back up my  home partition, should i use cp -RV /home /home.bak
[10:54] <Greenstuff> same problem with proftpd
[10:54] <ae86-drifter> or -AV ?
[10:54] <llutz_> ae86-drifter: cp  -ax ..
[10:54] <ectospasm> ae86-drifter: use rsync
[10:54] <ae86-drifter> llutz what is the x for
[10:55] <llutz_> ae86-drifter: one-filesystem
[10:55] <ectospasm> ae86-drifter: if you use rsync you won't have to start over if you kill the copy operation for whatever reason
[10:55] <ae86-drifter> yes.. thats it thnx
[10:55] <ae86-drifter> ectospasm, it's only around a gig, but thanks
[10:56] <lost_> what is this libQtGui.so
[10:56] <ae86-drifter> downloading 10.10 at 160 KB/s
[10:56] <ae86-drifter> so slow
[10:56] <ectospasm> ae86-drifter: ah.  I'm currently trying to transfer 660GB from an external USB drive to a network NAS:  USB->wifi->NFS->NAS.  And it's *ugly*!
[10:57] <ae86-drifter> ectospasm, i now see why you know these things ;)
[10:57] <ectospasm> ae86-drifter: just running du on either the USB drive or the NAS mount takes *forever*
[10:57] <ae86-drifter> ectospasm, i used gnome to transfer 250GB of movies over to my server yesterday
[10:58] <ectospasm> Next time I'm getting an eSATA drive
[10:58] <ae86-drifter> just left it overnight and it was fine
[10:58] <ae86-drifter> i should say nautilus
[10:58] <ectospasm> ae86-drifter: this has taken nearly a week, but I kept stopping and starting it
[10:58] <MattLinux> sup everyone
[10:58] <ae86-drifter> sup mattgyver
[10:59] <ae86-drifter> i mean MattLinux
[10:59] <ae86-drifter> stupid tab
[10:59] <ectospasm> ae86-drifter: took me a bit to figure out the Win7 machine I was using wasn't up to snuff.  Imagine that. (-;
[10:59] <MattLinux> heh
[10:59] <llutz_> ectospasm: no ethernet available? wifi to copy big files s..ks
[10:59] <MattLinux> hows everyones morning
[10:59] <ae86-drifter> windows 7 :O
[10:59] <ectospasm> llutz_: not readily available
[10:59] <ljsoftnet> can someone do a video and voice chat with on google talk,? just wana test my webcam and microphone
[11:00] <ljsoftnet> can someone do a video and voice chat with me on google talk,? just wana test my webcam and microphone
[11:00] <ectospasm> llutz_: the machine I was using would have taken up too much space.  It's not my NAS, and I am no longer in that city
[11:00] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  I did those 2 commands and now I can't do wifi anymore
[11:01] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  I'm on ethernet now
[11:03] <Hoober_> Hold on guys. I need techie help. But i don't understand most the time what you say. Should i plug my computer into the wall for better connection? (i am new to using ciruit boarDS)
[11:03] <ae86-drifter> ectospasm NAS over wifi would be a waste of a NAS
[11:03] <rww> Hoober_: Don't PM me, please.
[11:03] <Hoober_> rww don't talk to me in public. ty
[11:03] <viddy> Warning: asshole detected
[11:03] <Hoober_> indeed
[11:03] <ae86-drifter> kernel panic
[11:03] <Hoober_> rww, you need a vacation bro
[11:03] <Hoober_> i am juts here to get my techie help
[11:03] <viddy> no, i meant you
[11:03] <ectospasm> ae86-drifter: yes, this is not a permanent solution
[11:04] <viddy> :P
[11:04] <cast> wtf is a boards
[11:04] <Hoober_> ok sorry. i am just new to ubuntu
[11:04] <vak> how, guys, do you share Internet via Bluetooth?
[11:04] <ljsoftnet> can someone do a video and voice chat with me on google talk,? just wana test my webcam and microphone
[11:04] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  you there?
[11:04] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Make sure that bcmwl driver is disabled in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers then try rebooting. I don't expect it to help, but it's worth a try.
[11:04] <sam__> Hi I am helping build an elearning course in Drupal. We would like to have examples in our text that users can click on and the example then expands. Can you let users hide/ unhide a block without reloading the whole page? Some kind of jQuery?
[11:04] <Hoober> so i have my wire connected to the circuit board, but i don't think my connection is qualifying?
[11:04] <Hoober> i don't know any other word to describe it.. erm
[11:05] <Hoober> you know the icon near the top where the clicker can go?
[11:05] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  the only way to disable that driver I was using is by removing it, but then I got no drivers at all?
[11:05] <llutz_> sam__: /J #drupal.de
[11:05] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: If you can't connect to wifi after rebooting then I can't think of anything to do right now except go back to the less than stable but working proprietary drivers again (via System > Administratin > Hardware Drivers).
[11:05] <Hoober> how do i boost my fierfox? do i like  turn the pegs of the circuit board into tether ball stands and mount ubuntu disc on side?
[11:06] <llutz_> sam__: depending on your irc-client, you may have to use        /join #drupal.de
[11:06] <netwerk> where do i look to controll what drivers and other such things load at boot ?
[11:06] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  wait, do I remove the driver? Or just reboot?
[11:06] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Remove the bcmwl driver, then reboot.
[11:06] <Hoober> i usually am a hardware buff
[11:06] <netwerk> im alking before  the console asnd x loads
[11:06] <llutz_> Hoober: do you have any ubuntu support related question or do you just want to troll?
[11:06] <sam__> doh sorrry
[11:07] <Hoober> is trolling gonna solve my technical issue?
[11:07] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  I'm not sure what you mean with bcmwl, is it the one I was using before?
[11:07] <Thylith> I just installed a fresh 10.10 install from USB, but now Ubuntu wont boot correctly, it's stuck with a black screen and a cursor in the top left corner. Any ideas?
[11:07] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Yes.
[11:07] <manhunter> hi,why is ubuntu not named like ubuntu 2010,ubuntu 2009 etc?
[11:07] <viddy> because thats stupid
[11:07] <Mosaert33> ok, I'll remove and reboot, bbs
[11:08] <Hoober> i think i just laughed some pea out the rear-end of my weener.
[11:08] <Hoober> whoops
[11:08] <Hoober> wrong channel
[11:08] <netwerk> Thylith, x is not loading correcting, try booting into repair and fixing your x
[11:08] <manhunter> viddy: no,that's good to understand the realease year
[11:08] <viddy> manhunter: wikipedia has the release year. and how does the release year matter, all packages will get refreshed anyway
[11:08] <Hoober> brb updating my hardrive
[11:08] <ljsoftnet> can someone do a video and voice chat with me on google talk,? just wana test my webcam and microphone
[11:08] <Colm_Smyth> hi, i am having issues running ubuntu (both versions 10.04 and 10.10) netbook remix on a Toshiba Dynabook netbook. The netbook is dual boot with XP and Ubuntu, however when selecting to run Ubuntu....it basically times out and wont run....HOWEVER, for some weird reason, if i keep running my finger across the trackpad, it will boot! BUT, after finishing booting....the trackpad wont work! any...
[11:08] <Colm_Smyth> ...ideas why this is happening?
[11:08] <llutz_> manhunter: what do you think the 09.xx 10.xx stands for?
[11:09] <Thylith> netwerk, ok, thanks
[11:09] <viddy> ha, the year in the version number is clever.
[11:09] <viddy> its not totally useless, at least
[11:09] <netwerk> Colm_Smyth, bad driver choice ?
[11:09] <manhunter> ubuntu 2010 is better,
[11:09] <manhunter> like avg 2011
[11:10] <manhunter> kespersky 2010
[11:10] <manhunter> etc
[11:10] <viddy> Windows Server 2003
[11:10] <Colm_Smyth> netwerk: i am not sure, it runs Linux Mint flawlessly
[11:10] <llutz_> snake-oil 2022
[11:10] <viddy> people are still using it
[11:10] <dyingprism> manhunter: maybe to you
[11:10] <manhunter> that tells the recent story
[11:10] <sebsebseb> manhunter: Ubuntu comes out
[11:10] <llutz_> !ot > manhunter
[11:10] <Sven1234>  how do i get my installed version of ubuntu 10.10 64 bit version to start with the noapic option
[11:10] <sebsebseb> manhunter: in the 4th month  April and the 10th month October
[11:10] <sebsebseb> manhunter: and so the version numbers
[11:10] <netwerk> Colm_Smyth, a diff distro may use different hardware detection, there are options you can try to force at boot
[11:10] <sanduz2> why does my ubuntu 10.10 always leave the optical output light on? (my laptop has a headphone jack that doubles as an optical output)
[11:11] <sanduz2> it goes off when i mute
[11:11] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  I rebooted, what ,next? (I'm still on ethernet)
[11:11] <sebsebseb> manhunter: well actsaully the first LTS was delayed two months so that was 6.06 ,but yep they  will useually be 04 and 10.  10.04  10.10 for example
[11:11] <momentum> what's the best tool on ubuntu to create rap beats?
[11:11] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Try connecting via wifi, if it doesn't work then switch back to the other driver.
[11:11] <Colm_Smyth> netwerk, what can i do to force hardware detection?
[11:11] <manhunter> is multimedia codecs and flash-plugin automatically installed on ubuntu?
[11:11] <sebsebseb> manhunter: calling a program after a  year, is more of a propritary software kind of thing,  free software does not tend to do this :)
[11:12] <sebsebseb> !freedom | manhunter
[11:12] <sanduz2> momentum, i think you need beatzAudio from Dr Dre
[11:12] <ljsoftnet> can someone do a video and voice chat with me on google talk,? just wana test my webcam and microphone
[11:12] <sebsebseb> manhunter: no they are not, but you can install them easilly
[11:12] <manhunter> what's the command to install adobe reader?
[11:12] <ae86-drifter> can someone fix my mount issue with fstab / mtab please ? i am about the clean install :((
[11:12] <sebsebseb> manhunter: you don't need Adobe Reader there are good alternatives
[11:12] <momentum> sanduz2: Dr Dre wrote his own software?
[11:12] <sebsebseb> !pdf | manhunter
[11:12] <Sven1234> how do i get my installed version of ubuntu 10.10 64 bit version to start with the noapic option
[11:12] <sanduz2> you need the hardware
[11:13] <llutz_> Sven1234: edit grub commandline at boottime
[11:13] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  I just launched Hardware Drivers, and now I have another driver, I'll first activate that, then plug out ethernet, then try to connect with wifi?
[11:13] <sebsebseb> momentum: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will give you MP3 support,  AVI support, Flash, and some other stuff
[11:13] <manhunter> if the multimedia codec , flash-plugin,gcc, are automatically installed with ubuntu,then it will be more user friendly for us
[11:13] <sebsebseb> manhunter: ^^^ above,  momentum wrong one
[11:13] <Sven1234> llutz how do i do that i know nothing about computers
[11:13] <sanduz2> ubuntu 10.10 does automatically install all the codecs and flash
[11:13] <sebsebseb> manhunter: they could probably do Flash by default really, but they don't for a few reasons
[11:14] <manhunter> for multimedia code installation we need to add medibutu , right?
[11:14] <sanduz2> theres an option in the installer
[11:14] <sebsebseb> manhunter: also by the way WIndows does not come with Flash by default
[11:14] <sebsebseb> manhunter: no you need to run the command I just told you to, but if you want commercial DVD support for example, then yes medibuntu
[11:14] <ljsoftnet> llutz can we do a video chat, just send your email to on Private message
[11:14] <cast> adobe flash is non-free and should not be installed.
[11:14] <llutz_> Sven1234: press "e" when grub-menu is shown, go to the line starting with "linux" add "noapic" at the end of that line, press ctrlx
[11:14] <llutz_> ctrl-x
[11:14] <manhunter> linux mint comes with flash,i think
[11:15] <dyingprism> ubuntu seems more user friendly than windows in my opinion anyway, adobe doesn't allow microsoft to bundle flash with its software either
[11:15] <Sven1234> what is a grub menu
[11:15] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Do you see any networks listed in the network manager applet currently?
[11:15] <llutz_> ljsoftnet: no
[11:15] <radek> prohlížení  dalšího PC přes SKYPE
[11:15] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  yeah, tons, and none of those 2 drivers is activated, cuz I'm on ethernet
[11:15] <ljsoftnet> llutz_ ok sorry
[11:15] <Sven1234> what is a grub menu do you mean that menu when you can select ubuntu or windows?
[11:15] <manhunter> xpdf,okular,other are not as good as adobe reader
[11:15] <llutz_> Sven1234: thats it
[11:15] <a2warik> ﻿In Openoffice spreadsheet Whenever i copy a long sentence & paste it in one cell instead of having every thing in one cell itself the sentence is split & pasted in number of rows. I want everything to remain in one cell. Will someone help?
[11:16] <momentum> sanduz2: where can I even buy this? I seem to only find headphones; but neither the hardware nor the software
[11:16] <manhunter> what's the commadn to install adobe reader on ubuntu?
[11:16] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Then just disconnect from ethernet, without changing anything in hardware drivers, and you should be able to connect via wifi (hopefully more stably).
[11:16] <Sven1234> llutz so i press E then i type the letters noapic at the end and the i press ctrl+x and nothing else it is done?
[11:16] <Mosaert33> ok Jordan_U , here I go :P
[11:16] <Colm_Smyth> anyone know how to force hardware detection when booting to ubuntu on a dual boot XP netbook?
[11:16] <llutz_> Sven1234: make sure to add "noapic" at the correct line
[11:16] <Colm_Smyth> its a toshiba dynabook
[11:16] <sebsebseb> Mosaert33: you don't need it
[11:16] <sebsebseb> manhunter: you don't need it
[11:17] <sebsebseb> manhunter: also I belive Ubuntu still comes with a program for opening PDF
[11:17] <Sven1234> llutz how do i know which is the correct line?????
[11:17] <manhunter> sebsebseb: why don't i need it?
[11:17] <ljsoftnet> can someone do a video and voice chat with me on google talk,? just wana test my webcam and microphone
[11:17] <triptec> why is filesharing in ubuntu totaly worthless, if one must edit the smb.conf to share somethingokay, but one might think clicking share this folder might share it!
[11:17] <sebsebseb> manhunter: since there are loads of great alternative programs for PDF
[11:17] <manhunter> sebsebseb: what is that?
[11:17] <sebsebseb> manhunter: not sure what is pre installed for PDF, but try opening a PDF and it will probably open with something :)
[11:17] <llutz_> Sven1234: press "e" when grub-menu is shown, go to the line starting with "linux" add "noapic" at the end of that line, press ctrlx
[11:17] <sanduz2> momentum, to be honest, linux doesnt have any really good music production apps
[11:17] <netwerk> Colm_Smyth, : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common%20Boot%20Options
[11:17] <manhunter> sebsebseb: are you talking about evince?
[11:18] <sebsebseb> manhunter: yes thats one of them
[11:18] <llutz_> Sven1234: do you run that ubuntu now?
[11:18] <sebsebseb> !pdf | manhunter
[11:18] <manhunter> sebsebseb: do you use ubuntu 10.10?
[11:18] <dyingprism> manhunter: there is a channel on freenode named #ubuntu-chat and google "install adobe reader ubuntu"
[11:18] <sebsebseb> dyingprism: no hes not being off topic
[11:18] <Sven1234> llutz now at this second i am running windows 7 i ahve both ubuntu 10.10 and windows 7 installed togheter on the same computer
[11:18] <sebsebseb> dyingprism: also I think you meant #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:18] <lyte> triptec: there is standard samba sharing available from nautilus with editing any files, if you want to do something more complex you need to edit the config by hand...
[11:18] <Colm_Smyth> netwerk, thanks will check that out. i switched back to Mint this morning....but want to try ubuntu out if i can get it booting smoothly
[11:19] <netwerk> Colm_Smyth, im on a thinkpad 600e, your issue is easy in comparison
[11:19] <llutz_> Sven1234: so do it as i told you. there would have been a different way but that requires ubuntu running
[11:19] <sebsebseb> manhunter: for now yeah,  not for that many weeks though I guess :D  since other distros :)   also currently in Lubuntu, but  yeah thats still Ubuntu really
[11:19] <manhunter> does ubuntu 10.10 grub get the windows 7?
[11:19] <Sven1234> llutz ok i will try
[11:19] <manhunter> after installation of ubuntu
[11:19] <triptec> lyte, as in sharing a folder, advanced I'm not sure I'd call it that
[11:19] <ae86-drifter> i need some serious help i can't boot without a livecd, the 10.10 upgrade totally wrecked it
[11:19] <netwerk> yes, grub2 and win7 bootloader mostly get along
[11:20] <lyte> triptec: you can share a folder without editing any config files...
[11:20] <Colm_Smyth> newtwerk : yeah, i figure it must be something easy to fix........cos when it DOES boot with the coercion of my fondling the trackpad, all is good ;)
[11:20] <lyte> triptec: if you want complex shares or authentication _then_ you have to edit the config
[11:20] <manhunter> if i install ubuntu 10.10 , will it get windows 7?
[11:20] <Krishnandu> manhunter, Yes
[11:20] <taomaster> anyone tell me which usb wireless adapter will work with 10.4.1 lts?
[11:20] <manhunter> when it install grub2
[11:20] <tensorpudding> manhunter: if you install ubuntu 10.10 and keep your old windows 7 on there, i'll be picked up
[11:20] <triptec> lyte, doesn't seem to work if it's on a usb drive
[11:20] <ae86-drifter> netwerk, on my laptop it has been perfect ever since win7 RC came out, except for one windows update where i had to reinstall grub
[11:20] <Krishnandu> manhunter, grub2 will automatically detect other installation be it other linux distros or windows
[11:20] <netwerk> taomaster, the wusb600n works with ndiswrapper
[11:21] <manhunter> bye
[11:21] <sebsebseb> manhunter: Grub 2 sucks, for many of us compared to the previous version, that you can't just have in later verisons of Ubuntu, but yes it should pick up on your WIndows 7 no problem and let you boot that as well
[11:21] <netwerk> its a linksys
[11:21] <taomaster> netwerk i have it and it wont work
[11:21] <Colm_Smyth> netwerk, thanks again....i'm off to tinker with my Dynabook. there is something very satisfying about tinkering with different OS set-ups. lol
[11:21] <netwerk> taomaster, use the ndiswrapper package, then when it askd for the driver.inf file, use the windows p version of the driver
[11:22] <netwerk> windows XP**
[11:22] <netwerk> i did that and both the 600n usb and my smc pcmcia card work just fine
[11:23] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  like you said, magic happened, Connection Information now says I'm using the b43 driver instead of the wl driver, even though Hardw Drivers says none of the 2 are activated! :D
[11:23] <Krishnandu> sebsebseb, thats diff thing buddy...manhunter just asked whether grub will pick up win7 or not
[11:23] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: :)
[11:23] <stuie> #ubuntuusers
[11:23] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  would you mind explaining how I am using Wifi without a driver?
[11:24] <ae86-drifter> how do i make ubuntu clear all mount points?
[11:24] <sebsebseb> Krishnandu: I like to give people some extra education about this kind of stuff, at times as well, when I can :)
[11:24] <erUSUL> ae86-drifter: define "clear"
[11:24] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: You aren't.
[11:24] <ae86-drifter> mtab ?
[11:24] <Krishnandu> sebsebseb, Thats nice :)
[11:24] <Gnea> ae86-drifter: utilize the shutdown command
[11:24] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  elaborate :P
[11:24] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: The b43 driver is open source, and is part of the linux kernel sources. It has always been installed.
[11:25] <Gnea> Mosaert33: if your hardware works, there's a driver driving it
[11:25] <Mosaert33> so the Linux Kernel is taking care of my wifi, nice
[11:25] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: The reason it didn't *work* untill now is that along with a driver you need firmware, code which runs on the card itself.
[11:25] <Mosaert33> ah
[11:25] <Mosaert33> so it's not the kernel, but the firmware
[11:26] <netwerk> ae86-drifter,  umount -a
[11:26] <Gnea> the linux kernel takes care of everything, but your wifi driver is actually a kernel module, so an indirect extension of the kernel, not directly part of the kernel
[11:26] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Broadcom licenses this code in such a way that it can't legally be distributed with Ubuntu.
[11:26] <Mosaert33> yeah
[11:26] <Gnea> most hardware drivers in linux tend to just be kernel modules of some sort
[11:26] <Emanon> yay tor on my iphone
[11:26] <Thylith> hmm.. I'm trying Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a console due to my boot problems, but it doesn't work..
[11:27] <Thylith> how do i get into a recovery mode so i can fix my xconf?
[11:27] <Mosaert33> alright, thx for helping, I'll come back if this is unstable too :D (prob won't lol, since it's the same as the one on 10.04)
[11:27] <Saby> Thylith, use Ctrl+Alt+F2
[11:27] <lost_> can ubuntu runs a RPM file?
[11:27] <Mosaert33> so maybe cya Jordan_U :P
[11:27] <Gnea> lost_: yes
[11:27] <sebsebseb> !alien | lost_
[11:27] <Thylith> Saby, same there unfortunately
[11:27] <Saby> Thylith, you will need to get into single user mode
[11:27] <Saby> from the grub
[11:27] <Thylith> problem is that i never get any boot options..
[11:27] <sebsebseb> lost_: Alien being dangerious like the bot factoid says, I am not so sure about that, however you would usually use an Ubuntu deb or compile a program rather than try and use a RPM in Ubuntu
[11:28] <Thylith> just black screen with cursor
[11:28] <Gnea> lost_: depends on the rpm, really
[11:28] <lost_> i have to search aptitude
[11:28] <sebsebseb> lost_:  trying to use RPM's in Ubuntu should be a last resort really, thats what I am saying
[11:28] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: What hardware drivers would normally do to "Enable the driver" would be to download the windows driver from broadcom's website (because they're the only ones allowed to distribute it) then extract just the firmware from it. Since you added the firmware manually, Hardware Drivers thinks that the driver has never been "enabled" (because it hasn't done anything to get the firmware).
[11:29] <roffe> I'm Swedish, but I prefer using Ubuntu in English. There's one tiny problem to it though, whenever I check the calender it starts every week on a sunday. Is it possible to fix this to mondays instead?
[11:29] <stuie> wisst ihr wie man mithilfe der ubuntu 10.10 iso ubuntu 10.04 updaten kann ?
[11:29] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  so Hardw Drivers should say that the b43 one is In Use right? (I don't mind that it doesn't say that though)
[11:29] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Why the option wasn't previously there in Hardware Drivers for you I don't know. But I'm glad it's working now :)
[11:29] <erUSUL> !de
[11:29] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: Yes, it should.
[11:29] <Mosaert33> ok
[11:29] <jrib> roffe: « man locale » is where I would start my search
[11:30] <Sven1234> llutz it did not work
[11:30] <Mosaert33> Jordan_U,  tyvm again, and maybe cya if this wifi sucks too :P
[11:30] <Jordan_U> Mosaert33: You're welcome :)
[11:30] <erUSUL> roffe: set only LC_TIME to swedish locale?
[11:30] <Mosaert33> :)
[11:30] <cemc> how can I disable indexing in 10.10 ? I don't want it to start even, completely disable it
[11:30] <roffe> Thanks guys, I'll look into both!
[11:31] <Sven1234> how do i make an installed version of ubuntu 10.10 run with the noapic version selected
[11:31] <travkin> use google before asking dumb questions
[11:31] <travkin> cemc, what do you mean exactly with indexing?
[11:31] <travkin> Sven1234, sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[11:31] <travkin> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noapic"
[11:32] <Sven1234> i am not running ubuntu now but windows
[11:32] <travkin> then do sudo update-grub
[11:32] <travkin> do you have ability to boot LiveCD?
[11:32] <Sven1234> travkin right now i am in windows 7 i can not start up ubuntu because it only works with noapic so how do i make it start up with noapic
[11:32] <travkin> what's filesystem of installed Ubuntu partition?
[11:32] <travkin> ext4?
[11:33] <cemc> travkin: there's that app that indexes your files for quick searching or whatever. there's an icon that briefly appears when it's doing that, I think at startup
[11:33] <Sven1234> travkin yes i can use live cd with noapic option and install with noapic option now after installation i want it to start with noapic option how do i do that
[11:33] <travkin> Sven1234, follow this guide: http://www.socialblogr.com/2010/09/how-to-read-file-in-ext4-file-system-from-windows-7.html
[11:33] <travkin> you'll be able to see content of your parition and edit files
[11:33] <roffe> Anyway, I think it should be a standard option to switch between the timesystems in the clock-app
[11:33] <travkin> then find your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and add to append noapic option
[11:33] <lost_> i have setup alien now but it still asks for libQtGui.so.4
[11:34] <erUSUL> Sven1234: edit /etc/default/grub add noapic to where splash and quiet is ( betwen the  quotes) run « sudo update-grub »
[11:34] <travkin> erUSUL, damn, he can't run update-grub because he don't have ability to boot into Ubuntu
[11:34] <travkin> read carefully
[11:34] <travkin> cemc, Preferences -> Startup Applications - there have to be what are you looking for, like Indexing Service
[11:34] <travkin> but it was removed from 9.10, i thought
[11:34] <travkin> starting from*
[11:34] <FloodBot1> travkin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:35] <Sven1234> erUSUL wo wo wo i know little about computers i am now running win7 how do i make the installed ubuntu start with noapic option
[11:35] <travkin> Sven1234, what's wrong with you? I told you how to do it
[11:35] <erUSUL> Sven1234: then edit the option directly in the grub menu. when booting prss shift so the grub mwenu appears. then hit enter to edit. go to kernel line and add noapic to the end. do crtl + x to boot the modified grub entry
[11:36] <llutz_> erUSUL: i already told him to do, "didn't work" [sic]
[11:36] <erUSUL> Sven1234: to edit is press "e" not enter
[11:36] <littlebobby> I'm running 10.10 64-bit and I've got sound delays in flash. All the help stuff regarding this problem on the web seems outdated for maverick. any ideas?
[11:36]  * erUSUL shuts up now ;)
[11:37] <Sven1234> erUsul when grb opens i pressed E then i pressed down to the end of the last line, then i pressed enter to make a new empty line then i typed in noapic then i pressed ctrlx but that did not work ubuntu did not start
[11:37] <travkin> littlebobby, sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio helped me on another laptop. anyway, there's a discussion on ubuntuforums.org, and some users offer another solution
[11:37] <Sven1234>  erUSUL when grub opens i pressed E then i pressed down to the end of the last line, then i pressed enter to make a new empty line then i typed in noapic then i pressed ctrlx but that did not work ubuntu did not start
[11:37] <llutz_> Sven1234: i told you where to add "noapic". that was not at the end in a new line!
[11:37] <littlebobby> travkin, yeah, I thought about getting rid of pulseaudio, thanks for the tip
[11:37] <erUSUL> Sven1234: no you do not have to make a new empty line you have to add noapic to the end to the already existing kernel line ( the one that starts with kernel )
[11:37] <littlebobby> travkin, wasn't sure it was still a good idea
[11:38] <Sven1234> llutz hello  please explain again and should i ahve the "" marks as well or just the letters noapic
[11:38] <Talon_> how do I edit a theme in more detail? I really like ubuntu 10.04's default theme, but i made the buttons be on the right rather than the left, and added the menu in there... but the menu is a stupid dot, the other themes make that stupid dot be the applications icon.
[11:38] <travkin> littlebobby, on another distro I don't use pulseaudio at all and don't see any need in it
[11:38] <llutz_> Sven1234: no just add the bare word noapic to the kernel line
[11:39] <littlebobby> travkin, you don't have the link to that discussion, have you?
[11:39] <Talon_> i guess i need to edit the Ambiance window border or something
[11:39] <travkin> littlebobby, let me see the history
[11:39] <Sven1234> so a line that starts with the word kernel i am to add the letters noapic at the end of that line and if so am i to press spacebar to create gap between the last letter of that line and the letters noapic?
[11:39] <llutz_> Sven1234: yes
[11:39] <Sven1234> ok will try again then
[11:39] <Sven1234> cheers
[11:40] <travkin> littlebobby, no. just make Search on forums
[11:40] <littlebobby> travkin, I'll do, thanks :-)

[12:12] <erUSUL> herbmonk: /join #blender ?
[12:12] <greenmang0> gDD_: :D
[12:12] <llutz_> gDD_: no harm if you don't have used sudo
[12:12] <Lenny|Work> "Richard@Sky: Ed Miliband is making his first appearance at Prime Minister's questions as Labour leader."
[12:12] <Thylith> i managed to get into command line now.. but, "grub is not installed.. 1 package to remove 'grup-pc'.. one package to install 'grub'.."
[12:12] <Sven12345> llutz_ it did work for ubuntu now it starts without any problems, thanks for that, BUT what does noapic mean what am i saying no to here and do i need the "apic" for something
[12:12] <Lenny|Work> oops wrong channel sorry guys
[12:12] <gDD_> llutz_: yes, i use sudo
[12:12] <Thylith> is that correct?
[12:13] <llutz_> gDD_: time to restore the backup
[12:13] <gDD_> a quick scan via testdisk don't do anything, i think maybe i need a deep scan
[12:13] <gDD_> anyway i don't think testdisk is born for handle this thing
[12:14] <herbmonk> erUSUL: already did, but I'll ask in their about blender form now on, just thought I might try hear too
[12:14] <llutz_> Sven12345: it disables the use of the apic, but please use google for more information. i don#t know very much about that
[12:14] <herbmonk> sorry if my post was off topic
[12:14] <herbmonk> my basd
[12:14] <herbmonk> bad
[12:14] <greenmang0> llutz_: is it at all possible to recover data after > /dev/sda4 ?
[12:14] <gDD_> llutz_: no backup :(
[12:14] <gDD_> i forgot to say it's a ext4 partition
[12:14] <llutz_> greenmang0: depends how much data was written to the partition. i guess its hard to recover
[12:15] <gDD_> primary ext4 400GB partition
[12:15] <llutz_> gDD_: no backup so no important data lost :)
[12:15] <greenmang0> llutz_: ok
[12:16] <Sven12345> llutz_ my computer frooze i need to turn off power to restart and missed if you wrote anything to me
[12:16] <ne7work> hi all where is AllowOverride in apache please someone tell me
[12:16] <gDD_> llutz_: yes, not really important
[12:16] <llutz_> Sven12345: it disables the use of the apic, but please use google for more information. i don#t know very much about that
[12:16] <llutz_> gDD_: so don't waste your time trying to recover
[12:16] <Some_Person> I'm getting a kernel panic: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[12:16] <Sven12345> llutz_ ok
[12:16] <gDD_> llutz_: my $HOME was there, it's better to recover that...
[12:17] <Sven12345> llutz_ thanks for the help ;)
[12:18] <gDD_> ahh... luckily i have an 1 month ago root partition at another HDD
[12:18] <gDD_> with $HOME
[12:19] <sun> hello people
[12:19] <llutz_> !backup > gDD_ for the future, think about this ...
[12:19] <ne7work> hello all in apache from wich file can I make this AllowOverride Al ?
[12:19] <ne7work> hello all in apache from wich file can I make this AllowOverride All ?
[12:20] <harpal> I am trying to run windows form sample in ubuntu with mono
[12:20] <harpal> and I am getting error while running file
[12:20] <gDD_> llutz_: so it is very hard to recover?
[12:20] <harpal> Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Automation.Provider.AutomationInteropProvider ---> System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: The classes in the module cannot be loaded.

[12:21] <llutz_> gDD_: try testdisk/photorec but i doubt it is worth the time
[12:21] <stix> Hi guys. Can I minimize rythmbox and Xchat to the tray?
[12:23] <gDD_> llutz_: ok, i tried photorec before and it recoverd a bad small tar file from that partion
[12:23] <Krishnandu> stix, Yup, see it in app's preferences
[12:24] <leigh> how are you all
[12:24] <Sven12345> i am fine
[12:24] <nunojpg> on ubuntu 10.04, /proc/uptime tends to have to send number larger than the first. Isn't it suppose for the first to be always the bigger?
[12:24] <Sven12345> how do you check your system information inside ubuntu such as graphic card, processor etc etc
[12:25] <gDD_> llutz_: thanks for the help:)
[12:25] <sebsebseb> Sven12345: lspci in terminal
[12:25] <Sven12345> sebsebseb ok
[12:26] <pea[0]> how do you login to root to the gui?
[12:26] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: why?
[12:26] <pea[0]> i want to do basic things like move files
[12:26] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: which files?
[12:27] <Skaperen> pea[0]: do it at the command line
[12:27] <sulumar> sudo nautilus
[12:27] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: files that are wehre?
[12:27] <sebsebseb> sulumar: thats gksudo
[12:27] <pea[0]> i'm getting bored of having to google everything i want to do
[12:27] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: gksudo nautilus ,but be careful with that
[12:27] <pea[0]> when i can just drag and drop
[12:27] <Sven12345> when i installed ubuntu on my machine i allready had win 7 on it, and in instalation i gave it 100gb of disk now why can i see the windows part of the disk as well???? and not just the ubuntu part and can i move stuff across the 2 different parts?
[12:27] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: you don't want to delete stuff you shoudn't or move stuff in the wrong place for exmaple
[12:27] <pea[0]> don't i
[12:27] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: also permissions can be annoying yes, but they are there from a reason, to keep your system safe, and that does mean from you from the user as well
[12:27] <pea[0]> i thought this was linux, not windows
[12:28] <nibbler_> what package in 10.4 do i have to install to get http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/en/man1/winexe.1.html ?
[12:28] <pea[0]> this system isn't even connected to the internet
[12:28] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: if you do certain stupid things,  you might get some issue
[12:28] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: right, but even so
[12:28] <Skaperen> pea[0]: if you are bored of googling for everything you want to do, then hang out here and do the googling of what other people want to do
[12:28] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: if you move files around into the wrong places for example, depending on what they are, you might be able to mess your system up a little bit
[12:28] <pea[0]> sebsebseb, yes, well as i said, this is linux, not windows
[12:28] <pea[0]> i should be able to do what i want, right or wrong
[12:29] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: also you don't really need to do anything,  except with /home  and maybe extenrlah ard disks
[12:29] <sebsebseb> roved2101: ^
[12:29] <pea[0]>  /opt
[12:29] <Sven12345> sebsebseb ok but why can i see the other partion the one i gave to windows inside my ubuntu???
[12:29] <jrib> pea[0]: right, windows is the silly place where you run everything as root, linux is not that silly place
[12:29] <Skaperen> pea[0]: sudo /bin/bash ... now you have a shell running with root power ... "passwd root" to set a root password if you don't have it done already
[12:29] <pea[0]> i want to run the gui as root
[12:29] <sebsebseb> !noroot | Skaperen pea[0]
[12:30] <sebsebseb> !root | pea[0]
[12:30] <Skaperen> sebsebseb: I know
[12:30] <llutz_> Skaperen: if you need a root-shell, use correct "sudo -i"
[12:30] <pea[0]> sebsebseb, please don't spam me
[12:30] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: you should learn a bit about permissions, and probably about the file system a bit and how it works
[12:30] <sebsebseb> !permissions | pea[0]
[12:31] <pea[0]> sorry but i'm gonna have to ignore the bot
[12:31] <odb|fidel> lol
[12:31] <jrib> pea[0]: if you don't want answers, then don't ask questions...
[12:31] <pea[0]> my client is going crazy with highlight beeps
[12:31] <Skaperen> pea[0]: why?
[12:31] <odb|fidel> ut tries to help you
[12:31] <pea[0]> *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*
[12:31] <odb|fidel> if you ignore the bot - dont expect help
[12:31] <odb|fidel> pea[0]: configure your irc client
[12:32] <odb|fidel> there is no need to make sounds if a users-nick is used
[12:32] <sebsebseb> indeed @ odb|fidel
[12:32] <pea[0]> i don't want a lesson in permissions anyway. i want to know how to get access to my own computer
[12:32] <llutz_> !manual > pea[0] read this
[12:32] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: things can mess up with Ubuntu as well, things can mess up with any operating system when stupid stuff is done,  no operating system is 100% perfect
[12:32] <sebsebseb> llutz_: except he may have the bot on ignore now,  so you may want to give the link instead :D
[12:32] <jrib> pea[0]: they are one and the same
[12:33] <Skaperen> llutz_: why do you think that is "correct"?
[12:33] <llutz_> Skaperen: because it sets a correct environment and has no strange sideeffects, other ways may have
[12:33] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: that you can't do certain stuff just like that, with certain files and folders, is becsue of security, and that does mean, from you the user
[12:34] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: that you can't just do,  you can do stuff with those files though, if you know how, but there are ways to do stuff with those files, and ways not to as well
[12:34] <Skaperen> llutz_: I've found it causes more problems than it avoids (been doing it many ways for a couple decades)
[12:34] <pea[0]> well thank you linux for protecting me from myself, but i don't want it
[12:34] <a2warik> ﻿﻿sebsebseb: & every body, sorry to disturb but i have a problem know you   solve that easily In spreadsheet Whenever i copy a long sentence & paste it in one cell instead of having every thing in one cell itself the sentence is pasted in number of rows. I want everything to remain in one cell. Will someone help?
[12:35] <llutz_> Skaperen: use "sudo bash" and make "echo $HOME" then, you'll see one point
[12:35] <Skaperen> llutz_: if I want a full login to root I just do that
[12:35] <sebsebseb> pea[0]:  you the user,  are actsually the biggest risk to an operating system going wrong,  not malicious computer hackers/blackats (media call them hackers, that is wrong)
[12:35] <odb|fidel> pea[0]: seems like you dont want to learn - so why are you asking then?
[12:35] <odb|fidel> just wondering
[12:35] <Skaperen> llutz_: then I just login as root ... the least problems
[12:35] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: thats blackhats I did a typo
[12:35] <sebsebseb> and crackers
[12:35] <pea[0]> sebsebseb, i promise not to steal my own money when i hack into my own computer and steal my own credit card details
[12:35] <llutz_> Skaperen: please just don't suggest that to others here.
[12:36] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: no its not so much about that
[12:36] <pea[0]> uh huh
[12:36] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: is about you moving files that you shoudn't for example, or accidently deleting them,  that you need for your Ubuntu install to work properly
[12:36] <pea[0]> lampp installed everything to /opt
[12:37] <sebsebseb> pea[0]: however doing stuff with LAMP files,  will probably be ok yeah
[12:37] <llutz_> pea[0]: because you didn't use the packages
[12:37] <Skaperen> llutz_: if it solves their problem, then I should suggest it ... I am a man of truthful answers
[12:37] <a2warik> pea[0], sebsebseb & all others but i have problems too will some one solve that please
[12:38] <odb|fidel> a2warik: please repeat your problem
[12:38] <llutz_> Skaperen: people who have to ask how to get a root shell, shouldn't use it that way. they don't know what they're doing
[12:38] <sebsebseb> a2warik: I hardly do stuff with spreadsheets, so I am not really the person to be asking :)
[12:38] <Leo145> hi.i have upgraded  10.04 to 10.10 but boot splash did'nt change.what should i do?
[12:38] <pea[0]> i know how to login as root. i'm asking how to login to root in the gui so i can drag and drop
[12:39] <sebsebseb> a2warik: in fact I have mainly been doing stuff with spreadsheets when forced to,  by courses, and then it was Excel
[12:39] <Smail> Hello!
[12:39] <nibbler_> hmm, looks like winexe has silently been dropped from ubuntu? that would be very strange.....
[12:39] <a2warik> odb|fidel: i have stated my problem earlier will you read it there
[12:39] <spidla> Hi everyone, I have got a problem with my intel GPU. This problem has already been described by BUG #634683. However on the launchpad is said, that BUG is resolved and fix is released. I have latest version of affected packages and problem is still unresolved.
[12:39] <odb|fidel> a2warik: i got it already - talking about openoffice i guess right?
[12:40] <jamw> After upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, when I try and tail -f a file it says "Cannot watch x,: No space left on device". What do?
[12:40] <a2warik> ﻿odb|fidel: yes
[12:40] <Skaperen> llutz_: actually, that is exactly why I answered it that way ... to make them think of the concepts ... they probably already know sudo runs a COMMAND as root ... just use bash as the command and voila ... they can realize "oh, just combine things" (the unix way)
[12:40] <odb|fidel> a2warik: best place to get OO help is the mailinglist
[12:40] <spidla> Is there anything I can do ? Is the fix already included in updates ?
[12:40] <odb|fidel> a2warik: there are usually really helpful & nice
[12:41] <Skaperen> llutz_: but I guess this channel is more about "take care of people's computers for them" and less about "teach them basic concepts so they work on their own"
[12:41] <llutz_> Skaperen: you overestimate most of the askers :(
[12:41] <llutz_> Skaperen: unfortunately true
[12:41] <Leo145> hi.i have upgraded  10.04 to 10.10 but boot splash did'nt change.what should i do?
[12:42] <a2warik> ﻿odb|fidel: mailing list will be slow than chat i also tried #openoffice but no one seems to respond
[12:42] <Thylith> i wish i had those problems.. :P
[12:42] <Skaperen> llutz_: I don't give this answer to any or all ... just to the onese I sense can use it ... *sigh*
[12:42] <sebsebseb> Leo145:  it did not change?
[12:42] <adeadrat> Hello, is there anyway I can install windows so I can dual boot without wipeing my ubuntu installation ?
[12:42] <sebsebseb> Leo145: as far as I know 10.10 uses exactly the same Plymouth theme as 10.04
[12:42] <Thylith> adeadrat, use google?
[12:43] <Leo145> no.i think 10.10 uses another theme
[12:43] <TiK> adead: sorry I am not ure abut the windows installer and if it uses a partition or the whole hdrive
[12:43] <Skaperen> llutz_: of course the really correct answer for learners is to get an Ubuntu Administrator book or read web/wiki pages for that topic
[12:43] <llutz_> adeadrat: you can, just free some space on your harddisk, primary partitions are preferred by win
[12:44] <sebsebseb> adeadrat: if you put WIndows on after Ubuntu, it will over write the Master Boot Record so only Windows will boot, and then its a pain to re install Grub 2 onto the MBR
[12:44] <Thylith> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[12:44] <sebsebseb> adeadrat: depending on what Windows app you want to run and how much RAM and such, a virtual machine inside Ubuntu may be good enough
[12:44] <Leo145> sebsebseb: no.i think 10.10 uses another theme
[12:44] <sebsebseb> Leo145: no  I think it hasn't changed
[12:44] <adeadrat> hm okey thanks for the answers I'll try a VM or something instead
[12:44] <llutz_> Skaperen: i agree. most things here could/should be answered with .tfm but users take that as an offense :(
[12:44] <sebsebseb> Leo145: anyway you can look in the repo for Plymouth themes, and install what you want
[12:44] <xxfog> Hi guys, I got a question. I installed ubuntu server edition some days ago and configured a softwareraid 1 on 2x 1TB hdd drives
[12:44] <sebsebseb> Leo145: and uninstall what you don't want and such
[12:45] <Skaperen> llutz_: yeah, that problem is too true :(
[12:45] <llutz_> Skaperen: anyway, enough offtopic
[12:45] <sebsebseb> xxfog: #ubuntu-server
[12:45] <Smail> Tell me what's the problem: no host is pinged, and tracert passes?
[12:45] <Skaperen> llutz_: ok
[12:46] <Leo145> sebsebseb: look at screenshots on the web.they have different theme
[12:46] <Smail> Tell me what's the problem: no host is pinged, and tracert passes?
[12:46] <sebsebseb> Leo145: well install it yourself then
[12:46] <sebsebseb> Leo145: from the repo
[12:46] <graphiclunarkid> I have an odd problem with the new Ubuntu One sign-up wizard on Maverick Netbook edition: on an English (United Kingdom) keyboard layout with English (United Kingdom) as the system language, if I type '@' in the email address text-box it prints as Ω. Anyone else experienced this?
[12:46] <Damascene> Hi, why my interfaces file has only two lines auto lo & iface lo inet loopback. is there any other file that has the settings?
[12:46] <xxfog> I had to set the partitions on both HDDs when installing software raid 1 - now one of the HDD crashes and I want to install a new HDD (also a hdd from another manufacturer) as second drive again, but how do have to install it? Will the sync-prozess start itself or will i have to start it manually? do I have to set the partions before the installation of the hdd by hand?
[12:47] <llutz_> Damascene: not if you use networkmanager
[12:47] <Damascene> llutz_ thanks
[12:48] <sebsebseb> graphiclunarkid: #ubuntuone
[12:48] <graphiclunarkid> sebsebseb: Thanks. On my way.
[12:48] <sebsebseb> graphiclunarkid: ok your welcome
[12:49] <sekon> anyone know what the command /bin/universe is supposed to do ??
[12:52] <Pr3nt1c3> I just noticed there's no tor avail for x61-10.10
[12:52] <Pr3nt1c3> I've tried all avail options, ideas?
[12:52] <Pr3nt1c3> !tor
[12:53] <llutz_> Pr3nt1c3: torproject.org has a repo
[12:53] <Pr3nt1c3> I can't access it
[12:53] <Pr3nt1c3> well, everything bar compiling from source
[12:53] <Brabusik> Can you tell me russian channel of ubuntu?
[12:53] <llutz_> !ru
[12:54] <KayAteChef> is www.medibuntu.org down?
[12:54] <KayAteChef> I am trying to get a video to play with codecs D;
[12:54] <Pr3nt1c3> "failed to fetch ... torproject... IP: 194.8.197.80"
[12:54] <Pr3nt1c3> !torproject
[12:55] <sekon> anyone know what the command /bin/universe is supposed to do ??
[12:55] <Pr3nt1c3> I've also tried all the repo's listed on torproject.org
[12:55] <Stellarium-> KayAteChef: no connection for me to medibuntu.org
[12:55] <LjL> Pr3nt1c3: show me your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[12:55] <LjL> KayAteChef: seems down
[12:56] <lirvan> does anyone know of anything like keybreeze for ubuntu
[12:56] <Stellarium-> a keybreeze equivalent? what is keybreeze
[12:56] <llutz_> Pr3nt1c3: you are from china?
[12:57] <ojii> hello world
[12:57] <LjL> lirvan: i'm not sure what Keybreeze is exactly, but judging from Google - perhaps GNOME-Do?
[12:57] <Karen_m> my cat walked on my keyboard and now the whole screen/color scheme is dark... it's almost as if it's a 'negative' with a photo...
[12:58] <ojii> can I download system updates without applying them yet? I want to use the fast internet connection at work to download them but actually apply them in my free time at home
[12:58] <LjL> Karen_m: i think that must be the "negative" plug-in in Compiz, but i don't know what the keyboard shortcut to (de)activate it is
[12:58] <lirvan> thanks ljl. i already use gnome do. but with keybreeze you can summon it with just one key .
[12:58] <Karen_m> ok it gives me something to go look for in keyboard shortcuts
[12:58] <LjL> ojii: sudo apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade
[12:58] <soreau> Karen_m: Super+M or +N
[12:58] <ojii> LjL, and to apply?
[12:59] <Karen_m> what is super?
[12:59] <LjL> lirvan: hm, can't the shortcut be changed?
[12:59] <LjL> ojii: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:59] <Pr3nt1c3> LjL line 20
[12:59] <soreau> Karen_m: The windoze logo key
[12:59] <Karen_m> wow that is neat, thank you!
[12:59] <ojii> LjL, is that for any updates? dist-upgrade sounds weird
[12:59] <Pr3nt1c3> llutz_ no I am not, australia
[12:59] <KayAteChef> haha negative... neato
[13:00] <Pr3nt1c3> didn't want to spam the channel
[13:00] <Stellarium-> Karen_m: that's a new one, i hate cats
[13:00] <LjL> ojii: it's because it's a smarter form of upgrade than just "upgrade", which was made to upgrade to a newer release, but it works just fine for normal updates too. i think its name has been changed to "full-upgrade" now to make it sound less weird
[13:00] <basso> Hello!
[13:00] <LjL> !pastebin | Pr3nt1c3, use this
[13:00] <Karen_m> super+m is awesome now that I know the toggle
[13:01] <ojii> LjL, thanks for the clarification
[13:01] <soreau> Karen_m: Super + Scroll for ezoom IIRC
[13:01] <basso> i was trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on encryptet LVM on my Macbook PRO, but for some reason it could not find anything to boot :(
[13:02] <Chell> Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu is much more difficult to get higher resolutions in Virtualbox than Debian? In Debian you don't even have to install guest-additions, while in Ubuntu adding guest additions doesn't even solve it.
[13:03] <israfil> hello
[13:03] <mr-ali> hi
[13:03] <Guest13684> Yo
[13:03] <mr-ali> wazzap
[13:03] <abon10> 11
[13:04] <abon10> 66
[13:04] <israfil> i have got a question concerning nvidia with hardy heron
[13:04] <mr-ali> i have been installed ubuntu 10.10 on my pc and i install another language on it but when i write the langauge is changing with out i'm pressing shift _alt
[13:05] <israfil> i have the nvidia 310 M (GT 218). i have written a modeline and so on in order to make it work
[13:06] <Sven12345> how do i update my drivers for Geforce GT220 graphic card for Ubuntu 10.10
[13:06] <israfil> now the resolution works, but i have a problem with the reaction time of the graphics. e.g. when i scroll down a text, i have to click to be able to see the text i want to see after scrolling
[13:08] <Sven12345> how do i update drivers for Geforce GT220 graphic card in Ubuntu 10.10
[13:09] <llutz_> !nvidia > Sven12345
[13:09] <Karen_m> soreau, scroll?  scroll lock?  nothing happens
[13:09] <llutz_> Karen_m: scroll = mousewheel scrolling
[13:09] <soreau> Karen_m: Scroll as in the scroll wheel on you mouse
[13:09] <LjL> Pr3nt1c3: you wrote "maveric" instead of "maverick"
[13:09] <Pr3nt1c3> \o
[13:10] <Karen_m> wow
[13:10] <LjL> Pr3nt1c3: and anyway, torproject.org doesn't seem to have a Maverick package yet - just Lucid
[13:10]  * Pr3nt1c3 facepalms
[13:10] <Karen_m> very neat
[13:10] <Pr3nt1c3> lucid won't work, I tried it
[13:10] <llutz_> Pr3nt1c3: get the source.tar.gz, build yourself
[13:11] <LjL> Pr3nt1c3: i guess you might try the debian testing package (no guarantees though)
[13:11] <Pr3nt1c3> I'll try, haven't done it before (hence the nick suggesting noobness)
[13:12] <Pr3nt1c3> woops, I tried hardy before, not lucid... thanks a bunch!
[13:12] <LjL> hardy's a bit too old :)
[13:13] <LjL> (although i run it)
[13:13] <Xyrfo> does covergloobus work on maverick yet
[13:14] <Karen_m> I setup a bunch of snippets in gedit.  I've rebooted and what not, and now they are gone.  Where did they go?
[13:16] <tgywa> HI
[13:16] <sebsebseb> tgywa: hi
[13:17] <tgywa> sebsebseb, where can I get Kermik packages for Lucid?
[13:17] <Pr3nt1c3> ok, next question: in compiz-gui... I've enabled desktop cube, however I appear unable to get an image on top, and bottom of cube. just a plain color
[13:17] <Pr3nt1c3> pointer / link?
[13:17] <sebsebseb> tgywa: Kermik?  Karmic?
[13:17] <tgywa> sebsebseb, Karmic
[13:17] <sebsebseb> tgywa: packages for what?
[13:17] <researcher1> may I get guidance on maverick here
[13:18] <test1> hello all, I want to upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10,  now on ubuntu 10.04 my file system is EXT4, can I upgrade to 10.10? it will change my file system?
[13:18] <sebsebseb> tgywa: that do what?
[13:18] <tgywa> sebsebseb, php 5.2 ... Lucid has php 5.3
[13:18] <sebsebseb> tgywa: why would you wnt to downgrade?
[13:18] <tgywa> sebsebseb, no I want to run both php 5.2 and php 5.3
[13:18] <llutz_> test1: a- you can b- it won't change
[13:18] <LjL> tgywa: that's not possible
[13:18] <Pr3nt1c3> do I need to use .png instead of .jpg?
[13:18] <sebsebseb> tgywa: as far as I know you can't just do that
[13:19] <bricky> hello is there anyone who uses UNR?
[13:19] <test1> llutz_: but if I want the new file system that came with ubuntu 10.10? I need to install it from scrach?
[13:19] <sebsebseb> test1: btrfs isn't properly stable yet in 10.10 and such
[13:20] <LjL> test1, ext4 is pretty new itself.
[13:20] <sebsebseb> test1: plus would need to make a seperate /boot in in another file system for it, since Ubuntu isn't set up to use it properly yet, that will be 11.04 probably
[13:20] <test1> it will be batter to stay with EXT4?
[13:20] <sebsebseb> test1: for now yes
[13:20] <sebsebseb> test1: probably so in your case
[13:20] <LjL> test1: yes
[13:20] <test1> ok.. I'll stay with EXT4 for now... thanks
[13:21] <sebsebseb> test1: however will be good when most distros are using btrfs by defaults, and snapshots can be used easy and so on, but yeah that should be next year :)
[13:22] <test1> :)
[13:23] <djzn> is it only me having ANNOYING indicator-applet bugs, like a black rectangle beside the ethernet indicator or such thing?
[13:23] <test1> if I will install ubuntu 10.10 from scrach, it will ask me which file system I want to use? ext4 or vtrfs?
[13:23] <bazhang> test1, no
[13:23] <sebsebseb> test1: by default you get Ext4, if you do a manual install you can do other file systems
[13:24] <bazhang> test1, you need the debian-installer alternate cd and need to explicitly choose it
[13:24] <test1> oh I see...
[13:24] <test1> so the default file system in ubuntu 10.10 is still EXT4, am I right?
[13:24] <sebsebseb> bazhang: as far as I know btrfs can be installed from the desktop CD
[13:24] <sebsebseb> test1: yes
[13:25] <test1> ok
[13:25] <bazhang> sebsebseb, perhaps so, installed during beta, though it would have to be via manual set up
[13:25] <sebsebseb> bazhang: yes via the manual set up
[13:25] <test1> thanks a lot guys :)
[13:26] <sebsebseb> bazhang: and gparted can do it as well as far as I know

I used to be able to.. but now I can't. it doesn't show up.. it USED to.. but no longer available after I purged the drivers. what do I need to do to change it so I can use it again in working order?
[13:30] <afallenhope> I'm currently doing a dist-upgrade
[13:30] <djzn> hey anyone knows a workaround for the ethernet applet indicator bug?

[13:35] <BugeyeD> hi all. anyone know if burn-to-cd is purposefully disabled in rhythmbox on the latest netbook edition?
[13:35] <undecim> BugeyeD: I doubt it.
[13:36] <undecim> BugeyeD: More likely, if it's disabled, but you have a cd, rhythmbox isn't detecting it.
[13:36] <afallenhope> Hey, I'm running AMD 64 Ubuntu 10.04 and I can't get the proprietary  drivers. I used to be able to.. but now I can't. it doesn't show up.. it USED to.. but no longer available after I purged the drivers. what do I need to do to change it so I can use it again in working order?
[13:37] <undecim> BugeyeD: Oh wait, there is a seperate package for the rhythmbox cdrecorder
[13:37] <Gandalf84> hi
[13:37] <BugeyeD> undecim: i thought they should have used the same package as with standard desktop (which does work). the netbook sees the cd - i installed NBR from the same drive.
[13:37] <afallenhope> !ati
[13:37] <undecim> BugeyeD: Make sure you have rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder
[13:37] <BugeyeD> undecim: yup, that's installed (apparently by default). i also installed the separate burning app package as well (brasero).
[13:38] <wgx> 大家好
[13:38] <BugeyeD> undecim: the thing that bugs me is that despite having the plugin package installed, it doesn't show up under plugins in the rhythmbox menus.
[13:38] <Pr3nt1c3> !cn | wgx
[13:38] <undecim> BugeyeD: Did you enabled the plugin?
[13:38] <brunot> Hi
[13:38] <BugeyeD> undecim: it doesn't show up under plugins
[13:38] <Gandalf84> i open my Music folder with MediaPlayer, but i forgot to remove the option "open always this kind of file with this application", now if i click on my Home folder it will be open with MediaPlayer, how can i restore the default settings?
[13:39] <undecim> BugeyeD: Do you have rhythmbox-plugins?
[13:39] <brunot> did someone already upgrade to 10.10 and has audio/sound problems ?
[13:39] <BugeyeD> yes. it was installed by default.
[13:40] <BugeyeD> brunot: on the contrary, one of my "problems" went away after updating to 10.10 ...
[13:40] <Ichat> Gandalf84:   there should be an aplication preference app in your  settings pannel
[13:40] <BugeyeD> undecim: yes. it was installed by default.
[13:40] <brunot> lucky you bugeyed !
[13:40] <undecim> BugeyeD: What about this list of rhythmbox suggests?: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gnome-codec-install, gnome-control-center, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, brasero, rhythmbox-plugin-coherence. Anything missing from that list?
[13:40] <Gandalf84> Ichat there is nothing about folders
[13:41] <wgx> Everybody is British or American?
[13:41] <Ichat> Gandalf84:  -   you might want to open the folder in natilus and show hidden files ....
[13:42] <LjL> wgx: not really, but the channel is english-speaking
[13:42] <Gandalf84> Ichat: yes, i want to open folders with nautilus
[13:42] <BugeyeD> undecim: not sure, i'll have to go take a look. but it seems likely to me that the -burner plugin would suck in anything it needed. and -burner was installed by default.
[13:42] <brunot> wgx: nope, french
[13:42] <undecim> BugeyeD: I know, it is strange
[13:42] <BugeyeD> wgx: i'm martian
[13:42] <magnetron> wgx: we all speak english here
[13:42] <Ichat> Gandalf84    in terminal   sudo nautilus /home/yourname/yourfolder
[13:43] <BugeyeD> undecim: thanks for the ideas, i'll keep digging. or give up, not sure. :)
[13:43] <wgx> Haha ~ sorry I am Chinese
[13:43] <Gandalf84> ok, but how to restore the opening of a folder with nautilus when click on folder icon?
[13:43] <undecim> BugeyeD: Hey, I found this package in aptitude, ubuntu-netbook-default-settings. I'll look in it and see what I find.
[13:44] <researcher1> I want to install packages by task using synaptic of maverick but this service seems unavailable.Kindly advice me
[13:44] <Ichat> Gandalf84:   -  im not sure but logics would say  there's some kind of   .desktop file (of some sorts)
[13:44] <Gandalf84> where?
[13:45] <Guest1172> researcher1: try Ubuntu Software Center
[13:45] <Ichat> gandalf84  in the fubar folder
[13:46] <researcher1> Guest1172: But that feature to install by task is not there
[13:46] <syareez> hye
[13:46] <Gandalf84> Ichat: in widnows when using explorer there is "Folder Options" and there i can find all the file extensions association with apps
[13:46] <rusty149> researcher1: what do you mean by task?
[13:46] <Gandalf84> there is something like this in ubuntu?
[13:46] <BugeyeD> wgx: no worries. i get more flack from being martian than you're likely to get by being chinese
[13:47] <researcher1> rusty149: like you select Edubuntu server and it installs everything needed for that or a print server and the like
[13:47] <Gandalf84> ok, done!
[13:48] <Gandalf84> i open nautilus with terminal and than right click on the folder / open with "Nautilus" with option "open always with this app" checked
[13:48] <rusty149> researcher1: Well firstly you need to run the Server distro for that (not the desktop)
[13:48] <rusty149> researcher1: Then try the 'tasksel' command
[13:49] <researcher1> ok
[13:49] <zombie-robot> ubuntu does not recognize my esata pci card
[13:50] <rusty149> researcher1: just run tasksel from terminal on desktop version and you will see edubuntu server on the list

[13:51] <ubuntudude> Why would I choose to use a filesystem other than the default?
[13:51] <ae86-drifter> im about to do a clean 10.10 install, i backed up my home folder to a seperate ext4 partition and also copied my etc folder just incase i need something from there.. is there something else i should back up?
[13:51] <Ichat> ubuntudude:  - because you can ....
[13:51] <killawat31> either slim or gmd
[13:51] <erry> So, how well does ubuntu 10.10 work?
[13:51] <shane2peru> where can I check the crontab log??
[13:52] <ubuntudude> Ichat, ....
[13:52] <ae86-drifter> i saved my 4gb apt cache as well
[13:52] <Ichat> ubuntudude:  -all filesystems have thair pro's and cons
[13:52] <brunot> erry : works fine in general. But I have a problem with it: sound only works through my headset now
[13:52] <llutz_> ae86-drifter: backup the list of installed packges too: aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-package
[13:52] <erry> That's my cue to not update yet
[13:52] <erry> >_<
[13:53] <ae86-drifter> llutz, i cant boot it

[13:53] <wgx> 韩国人？
[13:53] <Ichat> ubuntudude:  for example if you have an old  Compact Flash disk  you would beter format it with  a ext2 if you can..     but if you want  a  network filesystem you might want  zfs or btrfs (beta)

[13:57] <HugsAlot> Can you run an already installed Windows 7 Partition inside Ubuntu? Looked up VMWare and VirtualBox via google, but all I keep finding is "INSTALL windows 7 in ..."
[13:58] <ae86-drifter> when i am on the live cd, can i retreive a list of packages installed on my hard disk?
[13:58] <ae86-drifter> HugsAlot, download clonezilla and image your disk, then restore the image to the VM
[13:58] <llutz_> ae86-drifter: chroot into your disk-install
[13:59] <ZykoticK9_> HugsAlot, you can see the VBox Raw disk/partition instructions at http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk (Note the warning at the top, and I have never tried/tested this)
[13:59] <ae86-drifter> llutz, ok i'll try that thanks
[13:59] <snoop_> join #ubuntu-german
[13:59] <HugsAlot> ae86-drifter, Which VM "?client?" are we talking about?
[14:00] <ae86-drifter> VMware, VBox, anything, all you need to do is boot the clonezilla disk in the VM, select the previously created image
[14:00] <harpal> how to add script to startup??
[14:00] <Snadder> Is it possible to install php 5.2 from .deb into Ubuntu 10.04?.. side by side of php5.3 ?

[14:04] <jinx_> how can I reset a USB device from the command line?
[14:04] <hogbog> Is there a known problem with Ubuntu 10.10 where various buttons on my mouse stop working after a while? I've been getting this since I've upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. First mouse button 1 stops working, then a bit later mouse button 2, or sometimes the scrollwheel. I'm getting this with different mice. It seems to also affect my keyboard occasionally, where it starts lagging or just becomes completely dead (but I can still switch to a
[14:04] <hogbog> VT with ALT+F1). Also, restarting X fixes the issue immediately, so I doub't it's some weird HW problem affecting all my input devices.
[14:04] <seba_> I add it to the program "GAdmin-BINS" but it erase too. I supouse that i need use /etc/network/interfaces ?
[14:04] <WXZ> how can I tell if something is a "metapackage"
[14:04] <ubuntudude> Ichat, WOW thanks so much man =)
[14:04] <hogbog> there's also nothing on dmesg or /var/log/messages or /var/log/Xorg.0.log as far as I can tell
[14:04] <WXZ> rather than just a package?
[14:04] <ubuntudude> that was very helpful just what i needed =)
[14:04] <HugsAlot> ae86-drifter, Clonezilla isn't available in the Package Manager or Software Center. Am I doing it wrong?
[14:04] <hogbog> it's really driving me crazy as I am trying to get work done :(
[14:04] <Ichat> ubuntudude:  - yw.
[14:04] <ae86-drifter> llutz, i didnt know you could chroot, that's awesome!!

[14:05] <seba_> ok, i´ll try
[14:06] <xananax> manu91: so if you want help, I can't give any (I am a total newbie) but if you want to check if it works, well, I had a good experience at least

[14:09] <jamw> After upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, when I try and tail -f a file it says "Cannot watch x,: No space left on device". What do?
[14:09] <manu91> xananax: I installed it yesterday too on ubuntu 10.10 and a bug appear...the installation dont end..and since that i cant install nothing
[14:09] <hogbog> sigh
[14:09] <hogbog> guess I should wait longer next time before upgrading
[14:09] <recmajkemi> can anyone try run kradioripper for me in 10.10 mine wont even start
[14:10] <xananax> manu91: then I think you should be looking for help on how to remove files after an installation hanged, I doubt that the problem comes from cutter itself (but as I said before, total newbie here, so I give this advice with great uncertainty)
[14:10] <nomaxiri> I upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 now I can't activate visual effects on my ATI RADEON HD3400
[14:10] <ae86-drifter> lol
[14:10] <xananax> llutz: yes, thank you, that's how it's called
[14:10] <xananax> llutz: I'll try to use that and report back
[14:10] <ae86-drifter> im scared to do this upgrade
[14:11] <llutz_> markbieber: "apt-cache policy cups-bsd| grep Insta"
[14:11] <hogbog> i wish I hadn't, I have to go reinstall ubuntu now
[14:11] <hogbog> ubuntuforums.org not loading for anyone?
[14:12] <hogbog> google shows a hit for the problem I'm having but i can't load the damn page :s
[14:12] <manu91> xananax: haha okok thank you =) i will try to install the lastes version (yn)
[14:12] <ZykoticK9_> hogbog, ubuntuforums is working here, can you see the google cache for the page?
[14:13] <elb0w> I am trying to get my ubuntu install to work however the screen turns off once it goes past boot. After research we found that we made need to make the setting "usedisplaydevice 'DFP'" may enable it as I use DVI. However I do not have a Xorg.conf, how can I make this work?
[14:13] <hogbog> ZykoticK9_, ooh thanks that did the trick
[14:13] <ubuntu10_2010> quick question - where are the services for Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[14:13] <hogbog> must be some weird routing problem
[14:13] <ubuntu10_2010> you know for starting/stopping apache, telnetd, etc ?
[14:14] <hogbog> anyway it looks like my 'mouse button stops working' issue is something other people are getting as well and is triggered by pressing multimedia keys on one's keyboard
[14:14] <llutz_> ubuntu10_2010: service <servicename> start/stop
[14:14] <ubuntu10_2010> no, the GRAPHICAL user interface
[14:15] <ubuntu10_2010> It was in 8.X I know, it's not installed by default in 9.10
[14:15] <ZykoticK9_> ubuntu10_2010, the GUI service thing was last seen in 9.04 I believe
[14:15] <ubuntu10_2010> ?
[14:15] <llutz_> ubuntu10_2010: i guess its gone, due to upstart
[14:15] <ubuntu10_2010> They removed it ?
[14:15] <_kafka> how do i run a gui app with sudo?
[14:15] <LjL> !gksudo | _kafka
[14:15] <ubuntu10_2010> well, I am digusted
[14:16] <ZykoticK9_> _kafka, be sure to use gksu or gksudo for GUI command (or things WILL break)
[14:16] <nzerox> hey guys
[14:16] <_kafka> thx
[14:16] <_kafka> that was easy
[14:16] <markbieber> llutz, what does this command supposed to do? it writes "unable to locatepackagecups-bsdj"
[14:16] <ae86-drifter> llutz, thanks for that, i now have a list of all of the installed packages, i am about to do a fresh install now, anything else you can suggest at all?
[14:17] <jochenaxl1> hi, i've got a problem with dm-crypt since 10.10. using recent kernel, it does not accept my pw. when taking old kernel, it works. any idea? :)
[14:17] <llutz_> markbieber: just check if cups-bsd is installed, since the old "lpr" package won't work right with cups
[14:17] <xananax> llutz: I ran pppoeconf, and as far as I can make sense out of what I was doing, I configured it right; however, ifconfig ppp0 gives me "device not found"...Any idea?
[14:17] <nzerox> when using ssh key pairs, should i generate one key pair and use that for all my machines or should i generate a key pair for each of my machines??
[14:17] <undecim> nzerox: One key pair for each machine
[14:18] <llutz_> xananax: sorry i don't know much about pppoe, since i never used it. try "sudo pon"
[14:18] <undecim> nzerox: That way, if someone steals a key from one of your machines, you can revoke access to that key only
[14:18] <llutz_> markbieber:and the command was "apt-cache policy cups-bsd | grep Insta"
[14:18] <nzerox> undecim, thanks man
[14:19] <llutz_> ae86-drifter: i guess you've saved the most important things
[14:19] <xananax> llutz, answer: "/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/provider: unrecognized option '/dev/modem'"
[14:19] <ae86-drifter> llutz, okay, cool, if i forgot something it's your fault!
[14:19] <llutz_> ae86-drifter: send me the bill
[14:19] <ae86-drifter> thanks dude
[14:20] <ae86-drifter> here it goes...

[14:22] <tgywa> How can I change Keyboard layout on ubuntu ?? I know how to do it on GUI ... u r right ... but how do I do tha on command line?
[14:23] <BugeyeD> ibansal: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[14:23] <llutz_> markbieber: fine, i wonder why old lpr still is installed by default...
[14:23] <ibansal> BugeyeD, thanks
[14:23] <undecim> tgywa: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/changing-my-keyboard-layout-language-globally-by-command-shell-182285/
[14:23] <eoke> tgywa: Assuming you mean for the console "man loadkeys" should tell you about the command which might help.
[14:24] <Mithos^> hi
[14:24] <hogbog> strange, 'wget ubuntuforums.org' seems to work, I can telnet to it, but actually loading the page in firefox doesn't work; it hangs forever on 'reading data from..'
[14:24] <hogbog> wonder what the heck could cause that
[14:24] <LjL> hogbog: wfm
[14:25] <Mithos^> how can I change the settings so that apt/synaptic/etc use my network webcache
[14:25] <hogbog> wfm?
[14:25] <Mithos^> ?
[14:25] <rob_w> where das gdm save which windowmangar to start .. i want metacity only on :0.0 and not on :0.1
[14:25] <LjL> hogbog: works for me
[14:25] <undecim> hogbog: Problems with the http server
[14:25] <hogbog> LjL, oh, hrm yeah I dunno, must be something weird on my side
[14:25] <undecim> hogbog: Though I can get to it just fine.
[14:26] <preetam> pls help.my wifi is disabled after upgrading to ubuntu 10.10
[14:26] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[14:26] <undecim> hogbog: Close firefox, rename the .mozilla directory, and then see if you can get to it
[14:26] <hogbog> oh, it *does* work in Chromium, how weird is that :p
[14:27] <Ken8521> preetam: whats your wifi device?
[14:27] <preetam> Ken8521 how to know?
[14:28] <kpoman> hey guys hello all !
[14:28] <Ken8521> preetam: is it USB or internal?.. 32 or 64bit?
[14:28] <undecim> preetam: Hello again. Did you finish installing wicd?
[14:28] <Mossyfunk> Is there any reason I would want a journaled filesystem on /boot?
[14:28] <preetam> Ken8521 it is internal
[14:28] <hogbog> undecim, hmm it now seems to hang on reading data from yui.yahooapis.com, but I'll try renaming .mozilla
[14:28] <kpoman> I am having a big problem here. I try to copy files to a "/dev/sda5 on /media/49EAAFEA24C3860A type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)"
[14:28] <Ken8521> preetam: well, then lspci in a terminal, should output your wireless chipset... it's probably broadcom or ralink, since it didn't work out of the box
[14:29] <kpoman> everything copies fine, then I reboot the PC and the files copied are gone... WTF is this ????
[14:29] <preetam> hi undecim I install wicd .actually i am not comfortable with wicd for connecting to mobile GPRS connection etc.
[14:29] <kpoman> I already lost 3 VM's and lot of time
[14:29] <preetam> my wifi is Intel PRO
[14:29] <undecim> preetam: ah, okay
[14:29] <kpoman> do someone have any idea ?why does it show as if the files are there, then when rebooting (on windows, or on ubuntu) the files are gone
[14:29] <Ken8521> preetam: there's several intel pro's..w hich one..
[14:30] <undecim> Ken8521: I was helping preetam yesterday. He has an internal intel card, which works fine from the command line. Its the network manager that isn't working
[14:30] <Guest1301> anybody
[14:30] <undecim> Ken8521: It fails with an error that it can't get the NetworkManager DBus name
[14:30] <Ken8521> did you try reinstalling networkmanager?
[14:30] <preetam> the rfkill list command shows no soft or hard block for my wifi
[14:31] <undecim> Ken8521: How would that help?
[14:31] <preetam> even i reinstall the network manager but it is of no use
[14:31] <Ken8521> undecim: well.. if the network manager is erroring out, maybe something got borked in the upgrade.. reinstall it... but it sounds like he tried that
[14:31] <undecim> Ken8521: It's like it's trying to run two network managers at once...
[14:31] <elb0w> I dont get that in version 10.10 in 2010 the os can have a problem detecting DVI?
[14:31] <elb0w> how is that possible
[14:32] <llutz_> elb0w: nvidia?
[14:32] <liqiming> #join ubuntu-cn
[14:32] <undecim> Ken8521: Actually, maybe a purge and a reinstall...
[14:32] <elb0w> llutz, yeah
[14:32] <Ken8521> undecim: then check currently running apps, and see if there's two running, and kill one..
[14:32] <undecim> Ken8521: Tried that. No other network manager is running
[14:32] <llutz_> elb0w: stupid nvidia cards always use analog-out as vid#1
[14:33] <Ken8521> undecim: usually when you choose to reinstall, i believe it purges the old one
[14:33] <jadarite> you mean   /join #ubuntu-cn
[14:33] <llutz_> err primary
[14:33] <elb0w> llutz, whats the fix?
[14:34] <hogbog> ok I think I found the bug for my mouse button stops working issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udev/+bug/637208
[14:34] <BluesKaj> preetam , Ken8521 , maybe checking /etc/resolv.conf for to make sure the nameserver IP and gateway (router) are listed
[14:34] <llutz_> elb0w: personal xorg.conf where devices were set correct. pls google for more info, its too long ago i needed it
[14:34] <elb0w> k
[14:34] <hogbog> bummer that it didn't get fixed in final release (makes me wonder what the point of beta testing is?)
[14:34] <llutz_> elb0w: the nvidia-driver has options for that
[14:34] <Ken8521> BluesKaj: but if the machine is apparently connecting via terminal...
[14:34] <kpoman> any idea someone ?
[14:34] <preetam> BluesKaj i am connected to internet through my ethernet  card
[14:34] <elb0w> llutz, cant get it to boot :P how can I install a nvidia driver
[14:34] <llutz_> elb0w: my workaround was to buy a card with 2x DVI ;)
[14:35] <preetam> but the wifi is not working
[14:35] <kpoman> why the files seem to be there ( i can even open them from the new location) and when I reboot the files are not there anymore
[14:35] <elb0w> llutz, lma
[14:35] <elb0w> lol*
[14:35] <undecim> Ken8521: Well, I just reinstalled wicd and still have my settings, which are stored system-wide
[14:35] <Ken8521> preetam: i thought you said you could sign on to your wifi through terminal?
[14:35] <Ken8521> hmm
[14:35] <BluesKaj> preetam, Ken8521 ok
[14:36] <undecim> preetam: You have this machine connected via ethernet, correct?
[14:36] <preetam> Ken8521 but wicd detects local wifi
[14:36] <_mrn_ver_> hi all
[14:36] <preetam> undecim yes u r correct
[14:36] <_mrn_ver_> i have installed the ubuntu in my laptop first
[14:36] <kpoman> please help me
[14:37] <kpoman> I lost lot of data because of that
[14:37] <kpoman> :(
[14:37] <_mrn_ver_> not  when i wanna install windows xp the system is  not detecting the cd
[14:37] <oles> is there any differences between netbook and desktop versions of 10.10 in terms of energy savings?
[14:37] <undecim> preetam: Can you go to a terminal, completely remove and then reinstall network manager with this command: "sudo apt-get purge network-manager && sudo apt-get install network-manager"
[14:37] <preetam> my etc/resolve.conf  content is "# Generated by Connection Manager options edns0 nameserver 192.168.1.1"
[14:37] <_mrn_ver_> how to install windows?
[14:37] <llutz_> elb0w: try         Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"  in Device-Section
[14:37] <Ken8521> _mrn_ver_: thats a windows support issue, try #windows
[14:37] <_mrn_ver_> ok
[14:38] <_mrn_ver_> thank u
[14:38] <llutz_> elb0w: or try using nvidia-settings to generate a xorg.conf for you
[14:38] <tado> hey all. quite a few issues after 10.10 upgrade. first in order of importance: windows don't display the edges. some come up with the bar "file, edit. etc", some don't. none comes with the three buttons to close, minise or maximise
[14:38] <oles> hey guys
[14:38] <kpoman> any ideas ?
[14:38] <kpoman> :(
[14:39] <philsf> hi, since yesterday my pidgin doesn't connect to either msn or gtalk. Is this happening to anyone else?
[14:39] <Chell> kpoman, how did you mount it?
[14:39] <kpoman> Chell: gnome mounted it
[14:40] <undecim> philsf: My gtalk works fine
[14:40] <kpoman> i was able to copy lot of things there, by gui's, by command lines, etc..
[14:40] <Chell> usb-stick?
[14:40] <kpoman> and even to run the stuff from them
[14:40] <kpoman> no. it is a psyhical partition on my main hard drive
[14:40] <Ken8521> philsf: fine here, what version of pidgin
[14:40] <ehcah> Are the repositories different under 10.10 than 10.04? Or maybe the 10.10 install is missing some?
[14:41] <undecim> ehcah: There will be some slight differences, and some apps from third party repos and PPAs may not have been built for 10.10 yet.
[14:41] <kpoman> Chell: i dont know why files figure like there, present, but then after a reboot they are not
[14:41] <kpoman> ok
[14:41] <Ken8521> ehcah: i believe you should remove 3rd party repo's before upgrading
[14:41] <philsf> Ken8521, maverick version, 2.7.3-1ubuntu3
[14:41] <ae86-drifter> why ubuntu 10.10 website got link to usb install when pendrive installer only supports 10.04?
[14:41] <kpoman> this is very critical, such a behaviour
[14:42] <kpoman> could lead one to loss of data
[14:42] <kpoman> if i did a mv instead of a cp
[14:42] <kpoman> pfff
[14:42] <ehcah> I had installed mono a few days ago and now can't.
[14:42] <tof> Hello, I have a directory /var/www/html, wich is a nfs mount point. I want to access that directory, not the directory mounted on it. (I don't want to unmount) Is that possible???
[14:43] <Ken8521> kpoman: i'd be willing to bet you fubarred your terminal commands... but i dunno
[14:43] <elb0w> How do I tell ubuntu to use a Xorg.conf?
[14:43] <llutz_> elb0w: copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X. it should be used automatically
[14:43] <undecim> elb0w: Just add the options you need to the Xorg.conf
[14:44] <elb0w> llutz, will try ty
[14:44] <amikrop> Hello, since I installed the proprietary nVidia drivers, my boot splash image disappeared, the boot resolution got too low, and I get ugly big letters instead. So, I installed startupmanager to fix that. But when I set resolution 1600x1200 (and other options such as "use splash image" and "no text during boot") I get a "out of sync" from my screen instead of the boot logo. Any help, please?
[14:44] <amikrop> What can I set as options to startup manager
[14:45] <preetam> hi after reinstalling network manager still the network manager status shows " Networking disable."
[14:45] <amikrop> to get my old nice boot splash graphics back?
[14:45] <llutz_> grm, why will cups-pdf will be removed on upgrade .04 -> .10? it still exists in 10.10 :(
[14:45] <jpartogi> @sean is there any reason why the Boolean in ripple is a module instead of class? This creates conflict with other library that also extends Boolean but defined it as class
[14:45] <amikrop> My screen resolution is 1920x1080
[14:45] <elb0w> llutz, how can I generate a xorg.conf?
[14:45] <Pici> jpartogi: Wrong channel methinks.
[14:45] <preetam> undecim no use of reinstalling network manager still the network manager is "Networking Disable".
[14:46] <llutz_> elb0w: xorg -configure       or using "nvidia-settings"
[14:46] <undecim> preetam: Open a terminal and make sure the network manager is running with "sudo service network-manager restart" and if it still doesn't show up, press alt+f2 and type "killall nm-applet" and then again with "nm-applet"
[14:46] <jpartogi> ooops
[14:46] <jpartogi> sorry
[14:46] <undecim> preetam: Wait, did you remove wicd?
[14:46] <preetam> undecim no the wicd in there but not running..
[14:47] <undecim> preetam: Well, the wicd server will still be running. In the terminal run "sudo service wicd stop" and then do the instructions I gave.
[14:47] <elb0w> llutz, 1) does gdm have to be stopped for that 2) how can I change runlevel?
[14:48] <jimcooncat> I made a little script called "yman", which takes one argument, a man page name, and displays it in yelp. I'd like to have bash tab-complete for my yman the same as for man. Where do I find the tab-complete specifications?
[14:48] <undecim> elb0w: To reset your X server, you should be able to just relog
[14:48] <llutz_> elb0w: sudo service gdm restart
[14:48] <elb0w> llutz, I mean to generate the xorg does gdm have to be stopped?
[14:49] <llutz_> elb0w: yes
[14:49] <elb0w> ok
[14:49] <undecim> elb0w: It shouldn't have to be
[14:49] <elb0w> undecim, I think it doesnt auto detect with gdm
[14:49] <elb0w> unless im mistaken
[14:49] <undecim> elb0w: Unless you are doing Xorg -configure
[14:49] <preetam> undecim i did the way u said but still the network manager shows status as "Networking Disable"
[14:49] <Mithos^> ok, I changed the network settings to the proxy configuration script. and clicked apply system wide. Now, firefox works, but software center doesn't. help?
[14:49] <elb0w> Yes Xorg -configure

[14:53] <Pici> !ask|  graphitemaster
[14:53] <graphitemaster> this is urgent
[14:53] <undecim> preetam: You can try. "sudo service dbus restart" though I don't know if it will break your desktop session
[14:53] <erUSUL> techbreak: it depends on what you want. you want simple gui. a full feldged ubuntu desktop? xubuntu ?
[14:54] <DrPoO> how can I see all of the users that have been trying to connect to my machine using ssh?
[14:54] <graphitemaster> and be slow, i have 2 lines of scroll back all I have thanks to shitty irssi
[14:54] <Da_Wrecka> I'm running Lucid Netbook on an Acer Aspire One, 1.5GB RAM, Intel 945GME graphics chip. I've got an external Hansol 16" CRT connected. If the CRT is set to 1024x768, I can play videos without any problems. If the CRT is set to 1280x1024, video playback is black on both screens. I'd like to be able to use 1280x1024. Am I SOL?
[14:54] <Wavesonics> i have a Wubi install that I just upgraded to 10.10, and the upgrade seems to have confused GRUB, i now just have a GRUB command prompt, how do i fix it?
[14:54] <graphitemaster> highlight my nick when responding so i can see
[14:54] <llutz_> harpal: use full pathes to scripts/commands when using rc.local
[14:54] <mad> hey
[14:54] <Silasle> Will grub be reinstalled if i do an fresh ubuntu install?
[14:54] <graphitemaster> ubuntu distro update from 1004 to 10.10 broke everything
[14:54] <techbreak> erUSUL, I have already Ubuntu 10.10 but I want a Ubuntu server edition GUI
[14:54] <graphitemaster> nvida drivers do no work?
[14:54] <graphitemaster> because i cannot start x
[14:54] <mcking> Just upgraded to 10.10, now virtualbox-ose causes Xorg to reset, anyone else have this problem?
[14:55] <undecim> preetam: Of course if it does break something, you can just log out and back in, since the dbus and network manager services stay running when you log out.
[14:55] <graphitemaster> Xorg for me is broken, i even removed it, and reinstalled it twice
[14:55] <graphitemaster> same for my drivers
[14:55] <erUSUL> techbreak: server has no oficial gui. you can do « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » to get the full gui
[14:55] <graphitemaster> I tried 30 drivers now :/
[14:55] <erUSUL> techbreak: or you can opt to install something lighter
[14:55] <graphitemaster> over
[14:56] <graphitemaster> GRRR
[14:56] <graphitemaster> this is annoying
[14:56] <techbreak> erUSUL, something ligher like?
[14:56] <graphitemaster> does anyone want to help me in a query ?
[14:56] <Wavesonics> Any ideas on how to fix GRUB for a Wubi install?
[14:56] <graphitemaster> this chan is full of text, and i have two lines of scroll back!
[14:56] <tof> Hi, is it possible to access a directory which is a mount point, without umounting it? (say /dev/sda1 is mounted on /etc, I want to access /etc without umounting /dev/sda1 on it)...
[14:56] <undecim> preetam: I have to leave, but I will be back soon.
[14:56] <graphitemaster> 0~1~4~4~
[14:56] <erUSUL> techbreak: xubuntu? only gnome-core? or even lubuntu (lxde )
[14:56] <graphitemaster> how can i move screens in irssi?
[14:57] <amikrop> Hello, since I installed the proprietary nVidia drivers, my boot splash image disappeared, the boot resolution got too low, and I get ugly big letters instead. So, I installed startupmanager to fix that. But when I set resolution 1600x1200 (and other options such as "use splash image" and "no text during boot") I get a "out of sync" from my screen instead of the boot logo. Any help, please? What can I set as options to startup manager? to ge
[14:57] <amikrop> t my old nice boot splash graphics back? My screen resolution is 1920x1080.
[14:57] <bangfoo> Wavesonics, have you been able to run "sudo update-grub" from a command line?
[14:57] <techbreak> erUSUL, is there nay how to's to server setup?
[14:58] <erUSUL> techbreak: many people do not install a gui on the server edition; you may want to ask in #ubuntu-server
[14:58] <techbreak> erUSUL, we have six system working under one lan connection... what would be best to setup server?
[14:58] <Wavesonics> bangfoo, I did the distro upgrade, all successfull, restarted, went through the first windows boot loader (remember this is Wubi) then selected Ubunt, and was dumped to a GRUB commandline
[14:58] <Wavesonics> bangfoo, should i run sudo update-grub at the grub commandline?
[14:58] <techbreak> erUSUL, oh okei I better find my way in #ubuntu-server :) :)
[14:58] <bangfoo> Wavesonics, eeew. so grub is not finding the install
[14:58] <erUSUL> techbreak: good luck
[14:59] <Wavesonics> bangfoo, it seems that way
[14:59] <bangfoo> Wavesonics, i havent tried wubi in quite awhile
[14:59] <neo__> hi everybody
[14:59] <bangfoo> sorry, Wavesonics
[15:00] <Wavesonics> bangfoo, np :/
[15:00] <neo__> question about : movie's trailer from apple website
[15:00] <neo__> big problem with my ubuntu
[15:00] <Da_Wrecka> Anyone have any ideas regarding dual-monitor in Lucid Netbook?
[15:00] <techbreak> erUSUL, thanks :)
[15:01] <Poul|Raider> after upgrade to 10.10 it hangs on boot and says failed waiting for disk
[15:02] <Wavesonics> what is the exact kernel version that comes w\ desktop 64bit in 10.10? I need to know to save my install!
[15:02] <pr0xy> I'm having issues installing 10.10 via CD. It installs, but it won't boot up from the drive.
[15:03] <preetam> undecim no improvement after restarting the Dbus
[15:04] <elb0w> llutz, got into the xorg.conf and under section screens added, Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"
[15:04] <elb0w> but it did not work on reboot
[15:04] <llutz_> elb0w: tried         Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"  in Device-Section
[15:04] <llutz_>  ?
[15:05] <Wavesonics> does anyone know the exact kernel name the 65bit desktop shipped w\ in 10.10?
[15:05] <elb0w> llutz_, nope did UseDisplayDevice
[15:05] <elb0w> should use ConnectedMonitor?
[15:05] <llutz_> elb0w: try it, i'm not sure
[15:05] <elb0w> k
[15:06] <GuyForget> I'm having an issue with lirc. When I use my remote the event gets interpreted twice. Using irw I see that the event is only being sent once, so I know it is not an issue of my remote control repeating itself. Ubuntu interpreted some of my remote buttons right out of the box, but not all of them. I installed lirc to get the rest of my buttons, but now I think the earlier way ubuntu was reading them is still working.
[15:06] <llutz_> elb0w: doesn't "man nvidia" list/explain those options?
[15:06] <undecim> preetam: I'm back
[15:07] <undecim> preetam: Any luck?
[15:07] <tgywa> How can I install greek keyboard lay out on ubuntu?
[15:07] <preetam> undecim no luck
[15:08] <Dulak> tgywa: System->Preferences->Keyboard, then add the layout you want to use
[15:08] <preetam> still the network manager status is "Network Disabled"
[15:08] <undecim> preetam: You restarted dbus?
[15:08] <tgywa> Dulak, but I want to do it from the console
[15:08] <tgywa> Dulak, but I can do it from the console
[15:08] <undecim> preetam: And restarted network manager after that?
[15:09] <zimnyx> When I kill ssh daemon something starts it again. Any tips how can I find out what is it?
[15:09] <preetam> undecim the command "sudo service network-manager restart" is not working
[15:09] <undecim> zimnyx: How did you kill it?
[15:09] <undecim> preetam: What does it say?
[15:09] <zimnyx> kill PID
[15:10] <undecim> zimnyx: kill it with "sudo service ssh restart"
[15:10] <llutz_> zimnyx: sudo service ssh stop
[15:10] <undecim> zimnyx: sorry, that should be stop, not restart
[15:10] <preetam> undecim it says "unknown instance:"
[15:10] <llutz_> zimnyx: sudo service sshd stop
[15:10] <undecim> preetam: Does it say that it started it?
[15:11] <preetam> undecim no only says "unknown instance:"
[15:11] <preetam> says "restart: Unknown instance:"
[15:11] <undecim> preetam: then do "service network-manager status
[15:11] <Dulak> tgywa: sudo apt-get install console-data
[15:11] <elb0w> :(
[15:11] <Dulak> tgywa: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data (if it's already installed)
[15:11] <Noctis_Lux> Hi.
[15:11] <sinnedam> hey guys...newb here, having the hardest time trying to change my ip address to static. I have followed the instructions on running /etc/network/interfaces in terminal and changing the info to static, but it says to save and close the file...how do i do that?
[15:11] <preetam> undecim it shows "network-manager stop/waiting"
[15:12] <Chell> llutz_, when are you supposed to user sudo service ssh ... and when /etc/init.d/ssh ... ?
[15:12] <undecim> preetam: do start instead of restart then... I may be confusing the behavior of Ubuntu and Fedora's service commad
[15:12] <llutz_> sinnedam: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces    change your lines, save/quit with ctrl-x
[15:12] <Dulak> sinnedam: what editor are you in?  nano?
[15:12] <cg_> hello. i installed the kubuntu10.10, and i got a widget called microblogging on the desktop. anyones knows any introduction on it ?
[15:12] <sinnedam> vi
[15:13] <preetam> undecim "network-manager start/running, process 2967"
[15:13] <zimnyx> llutz_, undecim: Worked. So I should forget about usign /etc/init.d/* directly in current ubuntu?
[15:13] <Dulak> Sinister: hit escape, then :wq<Enter>
[15:13] <llutz_> Chell: /etc/init.d/ is old sysv-init. ubuntu uses upstart now and preferrs service .... syntax. but that won't work with all services afaik
[15:13] <undecim> zimnyx: service is the preferred way, I believe
[15:13] <coz_> cg_,   I have seen this but I dont now anything about it  ,,,you could try in the  #kubuntu channel
[15:13] <Poul|Raider> Dulak, ??? finland ?
[15:13] <Dulak> Sinister: thats short for write and quit
[15:13] <undecim> preetam: Do status again to see if it is still running
[15:13] <cg_> coz_,  thank you , man
[15:13] <Dulak> Poul|Raider: ?? not sure what you mean
[15:14] <Poul|Raider> Dulak, just the nickname, knew one who used it who was from finland :)
[15:14] <llutz_> i wonder when those sysV-init stuff will be purged completely and upstart works as supposed
[15:14] <Dulak> Poul|Raider: oh no I'm a dirty american
[15:14] <EddInaBox> Hello, new here.  I am using 10.10 and cannot get IEEE1394/Firewire to work, it didn't work in 10.4 or 9.10 either.
[15:14] <preetam> undecim surprisingly the status shows "network-manager stop/waiting"
[15:14] <tensorpudding> i doubt that it'd be removed completely, that would almost surely break POSIX and a lot of software
[15:14] <Poul|Raider> Dulak, Okay :) have fun then :D
[15:15] <qinguishan> hello
[15:15]  * undecim slams his head onto the desk
[15:15] <llutz_> tensorpudding: then they shouldn't have installed upstart, it just confuses things
[15:15] <undecim> preetam: I'm out of ideas until I can figure out how to find what application is using the NetworkManager service
[15:15] <joby> Does anyone have a problem using flash in 10.10
[15:16] <AndChat-> No
[15:16] <janisozaur> how do I disable breadcrumbs in nautilus?
[15:16] <coz_> joby,   I am not but what issue are you having
[15:16] <nigelb> janisozaur: Ctrl + L
[15:16] <janisozaur> !anyone | joby
[15:16] <Dulak> it's a fundamental difference from debian that I don't like, upstart needs more time to mature, but for a workstation it's good enough.  Wouldn't run it on a server though.
[15:16] <undecim> how to list dbus services and/or tell what process is providing a dbus service?
[15:16] <janisozaur> nigelb, it works only for an instance of nautilus, I want a permament fix
[15:17] <Loonatic> Hi there, anyone could tell me what would be the easiest way to have my webserver (apache) ask for a password on a specific folder only for external traffic, i want to local people (192.168.1.*) to be able to browse the folder without entering passwords ?
[15:17] <coz_> janisozaur,   you use elementary  stuff for nautilus?
[15:17] <tgywa> Dulak, yes ... I've installed and dpkg-reconfigure to choose greek alphabet ... but seems that I need to switch to greek(gr) ... tried ... loadkeys gr ... how can I do that
[15:17] <nigelb> janisozaur: ah, that needs a gconf value edit, lemme get that for you
[15:17] <joby> Flash games is easiest page wont load, says try updating your flash player but i have the lastest flash installed allready
[15:17] <undecim> Loonatic: .htaccess
[15:17] <undecim> Loonatic: I'm not too savvy on it though
[15:17] <janisozaur> coz_, don't know what you're talking about. is "elementary stuff" a package or what?
[15:17] <Dulak> tgywa: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales localeconf
[15:18] <Loonatic> undecim: i tried to play with .htaccess too but with no luck, so then i think it's back to reading about .htaccess
[15:18] <Dulak> tgywa: if the problem is the locale, that should ask all the right questions
[15:18] <crosbow> i used WUBI and then upgraded my distro -> i still have the windows bootloader, but grub stopped working, so i can't boot ubuntu. (it was like BCD -> GRUB -> ubuntu) any way to fix this? :(
[15:18] <janisozaur> joby, which version? www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[15:19] <joby> 10.1.999
[15:19] <tado> after upgrade to 10.10 compiz went crazy! can anyone spare two minutes to help fixing it? or has anyone encountered big trouble and already solved it?
[15:19] <preetam> undecim please check this link for the bug  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/659460
[15:19] <janisozaur> joby, there is no such version. do you use gnash?
[15:20] <zelda> test
[15:20] <joby> let me check
[15:20] <nigelb> janisozaur: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9425742&postcount=7
[15:20] <nigelb> that one tells you how to have the location always
[15:20] <undecim> preetam: aha! connman is conflicting then
[15:21] <janisozaur> nigelb, thanks
[15:21] <razz1> any good guides on how to set up proxy to connect to trackers in transmission? any help?
[15:21] <joby> 10.1.999
[15:21] <EddInaBox> Can anyone help me with IEEE1394/Firewire, or suggest where I might get assistance?
[15:21] <undecim> preetam: well, try stopping connman, then restarting network-manager
[15:21] <joby> thats what the link u provided tells me
[15:21] <janisozaur> joby, what browser do you use?
[15:21] <joby> firefox
[15:21] <joby> 3.5
[15:21] <preetam> undecim command to stop is sudo connman stop
[15:22] <janisozaur> joby, "ps ax | grep firefox", find its pid (first column), then "lsof -p <firefox_pid>"
[15:22] <RabidLockerGnome> Does anyone remember that mail client in 10.04 that was an alternative to Evolution, but worked with Evolution?
[15:22] <undecim> preetam: I would imagine. I don't have it installed on my system so I can't check it myself. If you press tab half-way through typing "connman" it should auto-complete if it is a valid option
[15:22] <janisozaur> joby, or rather "lsof -p <firefox_pid> | grep -i flash"
[15:22] <lenzy> hey, why do i get such thinks in the evolution header? =?UTF-8?Q?sch=C3=BClerVZ Zentrale?=
[15:22] <JuJuBee> Can someone help me figure out how to tether a laptop to an android based phone?  Ihave rooted the phone but don't know how to connect to it as the access point (WiFi or USB)
[15:23] <llutz_> lenzy: wrong char-encoding (quoted printable)
[15:24] <preetam> undecim no use the tab shows only connman-applet shall i run kill connman-applet
[15:24] <crosbow> what is the easiest way to install ubuntu? wubi turned out to be the devil.. is USB stick a good idea?
[15:25] <zelda> guys,I met  a problem  "An error occured while mounting /home"
[15:25] <tado> after upgrade to maverick compiz doesn't work. won't enable any effect at all. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing. i think it could also be the cause of a very annoying black background that is always present behind the cairo-dock bar. does anyone know how to try and fix it? couldn't find any help online so far...
[15:25] <undecim> preetam: Sorry, I got disconnected. If you sent anything after my last message, I didn't see it.
[15:26] <undecim> zelda: Did it drop you to a busybox shell?
[15:26] <undecim> zelda: And did it give you any info on what the error is?
[15:26] <preetam> undecim shall i run the application kill connman-applet
[15:26] <Wavesonics> hooray!!! Saved my Wubi install!!!!
[15:26] <zelda> nope
[15:27] <zelda> I press s to skip  then everything goes well
[15:27] <zelda> but when restart  error again
[15:27] <undecim> preetam: "sudo service connman stop" should stop connman, then you can "sudo service network-manager start"
[15:27] <kevin_> hi, what is the command line to remove something from blacklist?
[15:27] <joby> im supposed to type that in the terminal?
[15:27] <undecim> preetam: And do the alt+f2 "killall nm-applet" and "nm-applet" if you have to after that
[15:27] <HelloMommy> how come...i set on /etc/fstab a gid=group parameter...and a user who is not in that group has that partition mounted when he starts his session?
[15:28] <janisozaur> joby, yes. and when using irc, be sure to type name of the other person you're talking to in front of message
[15:28] <janisozaur> !tab | joby
[15:28] <Poul|Raider> anyone who got a solution for me, upgraded to 10.10 and it wont boot, says failed waiting for hdd or something, and alert something with uuid of hdd
[15:28] <undecim> HelloMommy: I don't think gid controls who can mount it
[15:29] <preetam> undecim something happen great
[15:29] <HelloMommy> i thought if i set gid...ony members of that group are allowed to mount it
[15:29] <janisozaur> joby, also be sure that firefox with some page that utilises flash is running at the time you execute this command
[15:29] <preetam> undecim now the network-manager status is running.
[15:30] <Dulak> HelloMommy: no that sets the group id of the mount, not who can mount or unmount it, that is handled by the user= or users= options iirc
[15:30] <kevin_> anyboby knows how to remove something from the blacklist?
[15:30] <undecim> preetam: Awesome. If your applet doesn't show networks yet, kill nm-applet and then start it again.
[15:30] <obengdako> hi all skype does not work for me says p2p connection failed any help?
[15:30] <AKPP> i got a problem with my touchpad on my new sony vaio - it seens like ubuntu doesn't recognize it and consequently i cant configure it
[15:30] <preetam> undecim but the "enabale networking" and "enable wireless" is greyed and shows device not managed
[15:30] <janisozaur> kevin_, there are blacklists for modules, perhaps apache and many others, specify more information
[15:30] <HelloMommy> how many user can i specify in users=?
[15:31] <computa_mike> hi - I just upgraded my netbook to UNR 10.10 - When I click the Ubuntu Logo I see like some launchers.  But only web and get new software actally work - nautilus doesn't seem to want to load.  Any ideas?
[15:31] <Wavesonics> is there anyway to migrate a Wubi install to a physical partition?
[15:31] <kevin_> janisozaur, its in modeprobe.d
[15:31] <AKPP> how can i make ubuntu recognize my touchpad? it doesn't, so i can't configure my touchpad..
[15:32] <janisozaur> kevin_, well then you just remove or comment out the line
[15:32] <LSannin> hola alguien conoce algun buen reemplazo de one note>
[15:32] <TANK8465> hey all, has anyone figured out suspend in 10.10?
[15:32] <janisozaur> !es | LSannin
[15:32] <jiffe> anyone have trouble using aee in ubuntu 10.10 ?
[15:32] <undecim> preetam: Did you press alt+f2 and "killall nm-applet" and then "nm-applet" to restart the applet?
[15:32] <jiffe> I'm getting 'sorry, unable to use this terminal type for screen editing' all of a sudden
[15:32] <kevin_> janisozaur, any terminal commands?
[15:33] <janisozaur> AKPP, you may try "modprobe -r psmouse" and after that "modprobe psmouse proto=imps" (once or twice)
[15:33] <VagaStorm> what have they done to increase the speed of 10.10, al my programs start insanly fast compared to 10.4
[15:33] <janisozaur> kevin_, sudo vim <file>
[15:33] <kevin_> thanks
[15:34] <tgywa> Dulak, yes ... I've installed and dpkg-reconfigure to choose greek alphabet ... but seems that I need to switch to greek(gr) ... tried ... loadkeys gr ... how can I do that
[15:34] <Dulak> HelloMommy: use the group= option to specify a group of users to mount
[15:34] <Diverdude> mac runs os2 right? which is based on a nix kernel right?
[15:34] <Dulak> tgywa: I told you all I know on switching the keyboard around, not sure what else there is
[15:34] <HelloMommy> okk
[15:34] <preetam> undecim nm-applet does not shows the network manager in the system tray
[15:34] <undecim> Diverdude: I thought mac is based on the BSD kernel
[15:35] <ddelrio1986> How do I install PHP extension on ubuntu?
[15:35] <Diverdude> undecim, but is BSD not a nix kernel?
[15:35] <tgywa> Dulak, that didn't work
[15:35] <undecim> Diverdude: Yeah.
[15:35] <tlir> ddelrio1986: you mean the php interpreter? are you interested in the command line version or for web development?
[15:35] <AKPP> can someone help me with a touchpad problem?
[15:35] <undecim> preetam: Maybe just "sudo apt-get purge connman" and then restart your computer?
[15:36] <janisozaur> AKPP, did you use sudo?
[15:36] <ddelrio1986> tlir, I've already got LAMP working. I just need to add xmlrpc to my PHP installation. I can't find the ext directory that PHP usually has so that I can point my .ini file at that directory and enable it.
[15:36] <HelloMommy> dulak: is parameter group= allowed in fstab??
[15:36] <AKPP> janisozaur no i'll try that
[15:37] <Dulak> HelloMommy: yes it should be, I read it on the mount man page
[15:37] <fd> hey guys... is this the right channel about 10.10 issues?
[15:37] <tlir> ddelrio1986: did you install it with apt-get?
[15:37] <ddelrio1986> tlir, Yes
[15:37] <TwoD> ddelrio1986: sudo apt-get install php5-xmlrpc didn't do that for you?
[15:37] <tlir> ddelrio1986: and it's not available?
[15:38] <Dulak> HelloMommy: wait, it says only use group, and make sure the user is in the group that owns the device
[15:38] <ddelrio1986> TwoD, I didn't realize that php extensions can be done with apt-get. Let me try that.
[15:38] <scotly> fd: ubuntu 10.10? If you're talking about QML, then yes, if you're talking about ubuntu, probably not.
[15:38] <Dulak> HelloMommy: so look at the device file you are mounting, add the user to the group that owns it, then use just 'group' as the option in fstab
[15:38] <tlir> ddelrio1986: ahh? I just asked you if you used apt-get to install the extension and you said yes :)
[15:39] <TwoD> ddelrio1986: Many of the common ones are available as packages, yes. Just search for those starting with php5-
[15:39] <ddelrio1986> I thought you were asking if I used apt-get to install php itself.
[15:39] <nikola> any media player i try doesnt have time in miliseconds, and i need it for syncing subtitles. i googled it for a longer period of time, but couldnt find it. anyone uses something for that?
[15:39] <tlir> ddelrio1986: nope. run the command TwoD told you about, that's how you install it
[15:39] <marko> where is the problem if i have picture over HDMI and a cannot get sound to play over HDMI. Is ti nvidiva drivers or sound card drivers?
[15:39] <AKPP> janisozaur nothing really happened i think. i just want the "touchpad" tab back in preferences>mouse
[15:39] <ddelrio1986> Thanks for the help tlir and TwoD. I've been running php on Windows for years. Still new to all this Ubuntu stuff. I just used synaptic to get it.
[15:40] <janisozaur> nikola, it's just a guess, but I'd bet that mplayer has such option, try its man page
[15:40] <martin101> hello all, can someone attempt to help me identify a compiz setting I want disabled?
[15:40] <janisozaur> !anyone | martin101
[15:41] <ogionnj> I just upgraded my netbook to Maverick, but the old window manager is still showing (minus the gnome-panel on the top).  Can someone help me get rid of it, and get unity running?
[15:41] <Da_Wrecka> Trying again; I'm running Lucid on an Acer Aspire One, 1.5GB RAM, Intel 945GME graphics chip. I've got an external CRT connected. If the CRT is set to 1024x768, I can play videos without any problems. If the CRT is set to 1280x1024, video playback is black on both screens. I'd like to be able to use 1280x1024. Am I SOL?
[15:41] <nikola> janisozaur, i already tried, but i will give it another shoot
[15:42] <fd> i have a thinkpad t400 and a freshly installed ubuntu 10.10 since some days... sometimes the system becomes very slow and the mouse kind of freezes. this seems to be unrelated to any special program. if i close all programs, system sometimes runs as usual, sometimes not, but the problem returns sooner or later. does this soudn familiar to anyone? the system monitoring shows no problems with ram or cpu
[15:43] <martin101> I want to disable a compiz effect (I think it maybe something to do with compiz) but I can't work out what it is, when I have two windows open and overlapping, if I move the mouse away from the active one, it fades the active one
[15:43] <TwoD> ddelrio1986: If you didn't know, synaptic does the same thing as apt-get just via a GUI. I find almost everything I need in Ubuntu's (or third party) repositiories, it's pure awesomeness compared to the Windows mess =)
[15:44] <simonecuttlefish> hello
[15:44] <Exploiter> martian101 / simon, you need to install advance compiz manager
[15:44] <icko> hi
[15:44] <Da_Wrecka> TwoD: That's not saying much
[15:44] <icko> wath
[15:44] <undecim> martin101: What plugins do you have enabled?
[15:44] <icko> ?
[15:44] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[15:44] <Exploiter> martian101 / simon, so that you can easily configure the settings..!!
[15:44] <martin101> I have installed
[15:44] <martin101> undecim, all sorts
[15:44] <nikola> martin101, Effects - Fading Windows
[15:44] <computa_mike> ogionnj: I had the same problem - I think I just ran sudo apt-get distupdate (or was it upgrade)
[15:45] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: ?
[15:45] <martin101> I tried disabling that, no difference.
[15:45] <Exploiter> nikola is rite martian just disable that..!!
[15:45] <Hukka> How can I stop gdm user from starting up pulseaudio?
[15:45] <Da_Wrecka> TwoD: Your comment on synaptic?
[15:46] <simonecuttlefish> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waxat-_tRH8&feature=fvw This is Bach - BEST composer (they all said so :) It's like Linux, you have to feel what you are doing, then it makes sense
[15:46] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: ah, you agree?
[15:46] <computa_mike> ogionnj: Unity seems fine, but I can't find all my applications in the unit app bar...
[15:46] <joby> Janiszaur: sorry got disconnected
[15:46] <fd> i have a thinkpad t400 and a freshly installed ubuntu 10.10 since some days... sometimes the system becomes very slow and the mouse kind of freezes. this seems to be unrelated to any special program. if i close all programs, system sometimes runs as usual, sometimes not, but the problem returns sooner or later. does this soudn familiar to anyone? the system monitoring shows no problems with ram or cpu
[15:46]  * TwoD is a bit distracted hehe
[15:46] <martin101> nikola, I even logged out and back in again, re-opened advanced compiz manager and it has been disabled but it still does it
[15:46] <Da_Wrecka> TwoD: Yes, but like I say, saying that apt/Synaptic/et cetera is better than the Windows isn't saying much
[15:46] <ogionnj> computa_mike: No luck.  apt-get had nothing to do: 0 upgraded, 0 newly ihstalled, 0 to remove
[15:47] <Da_Wrecka> *Windows mess
[15:47] <computa_mike> ogionnj: My install took ages - in fact at one point the battery ran out.  It was estimating 8 hours to updrade...
[15:47] <computa_mike> ogionnj: what happens if you check for updates?
[15:47] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: you mean it's an understatement?
[15:47] <TANK8465> FOUND SOLUTION TO MY SUSPEND PROBLEM: if you have usb 3.0, it can cause some conflicts with the kernel. to get suspend working, add SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci-hcd" to /etc/pm/config.d/unload_module . you might have to create the file unload_module yourself.
[15:47] <Da_Wrecka> TwoD: JUst a bit
[15:48] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: hehe
[15:48] <sbvf> proof that justin bieber is gay  http://adf.ly/91IF
[15:48] <preetam_> undicem the network manager icon is not appearing in the system tray
[15:48] <ogionnj> computa_mike: I've already upgraded without any problems.  But now that I log in, I get the old menu system, and not unity
[15:48] <sbvf> proof that justin bieber is gay  http://adf.ly/91IF
[15:48] <ogionnj> There is nothing left to upgrade
[15:48] <Da_Wrecka> Still looking for someone who's knowledgeable about dual monitors. Although thinking about it, how do I find out just how much onboard framebuffer my video adapter has?
[15:48] <joby> janisozaur: i coped this into the terminal:  lsof -p<firefox pid> grep -i flash  = bash: firefox: No such file or directory
[15:48] <Da_Wrecka> just so's I can rule that out
[15:48] <momo_> hey, when did 10.10 come out?
[15:48] <undecim> preetam_: Try pressing alt+f2 and type "nm-applet"
[15:49] <Pici> momo_: 10/10/10
[15:49] <LWSDesigns> joby what distro you using
[15:49] <Nagilum_> Da_Wrecka: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:49] <CarlosP> Q; Im tryn to setup PXE boot for thin clients but cant get more than 3 clients to connect any ideas on what it could be?
[15:49] <joby> ubuntu 10.10
[15:49] <LWSDesigns> kde
[15:49] <Exploiter> 10 oct
[15:49] <momo_> Pici: okay thanks, I was expecting the usual oct 31st :p
[15:49] <computa_mike> ogionnj: not sure then...  I believe the package which drives the interface is ubuntu-netbook
[15:49] <janisozaur> joby, you're supposed to replace "<firefox pid>" with well... its value
[15:49] <ogionnj> computa_mike:  I'll look for it in synaptics
[15:50] <jht330> 有中国人吗
[15:50] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: I have some experience with that, using nvidia cards. Tried the hardinfo tool?
[15:50] <computa_mike> ogionnj: good idea
[15:50] <bcessa> hi there, just a newbie question, how can I print/echo a '$' character in bash without making it trying to expand a variable?
[15:50] <wo> 我刚想问这个问题
[15:50] <joby> janisozaur what the value what am i supposed to put in there i dont understand
[15:50] <janisozaur> !cn | jhattara
[15:50] <janisozaur> jhattara, sorry, not for you
[15:50] <jht330> Thank
[15:50] <Da_Wrecka> TwoD: Hardinfo? Does that work with Intel chips?
[15:50] <momo_> bcessa: put quotes around it
[15:50] <ogionnj> computa_mike: already installed
[15:50] <momo_> bcessa: single and double quotes work differently
[15:51] <janisozaur> joby, the one you got with "ps ax | grep firefox"
[15:51] <bcessa> like so: '$' (single) or this "$" (double)?
[15:51] <Da_Wrecka> found it n the Xog log Nagilum_ pointed me to. Says 256MB. Can't rule out the possibility that it's all AGP memory, but it seems unlikely that would be insufficient for what I'm trying to do.
[15:51] <Da_Wrecka> *Xorg
[15:51] <LWSDesigns> yea in synaptics adobe flash plugin you can just go to adobe download the .deb file to your hojme dire and run it with dpkg -i flash*.deb
[15:51] <ogionnj> computa_mike: I'm marking ubuntu-netbook and a few others for reinstallation and trying again
[15:51] <momo_> bcessa: I forget, try both and see what happens :)
[15:51] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: nm, it shows you some hardware stats for things like CPU, network, RAM etc, but I couldn't find framebuffer info in there
[15:52] <Nagilum_> Da_Wrecka: grep VideoRam /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:52] <bcessa> got it, is just like this: \$ ;)
[15:52] <LWSDesigns> wierd I have 10.10 installed and never really had any flash issues
[15:52] <momo_> bcessa: great, that works too
[15:52] <wieshka> Hey folks, need some support/help on this problem: http://wieshka.pastebin.com/Fqp0awkU - i am trying to get work Hauppauge USB-live2 on Ubuntu 10.04
[15:52] <joby> janisozaur i have looked but im sorry i dont understand what ur wanting me to do i see all the codes
[15:52] <nikola> i was wrong, its opacify , what martin101 was searching for :(
[15:52] <Da_Wrecka> Nagilum_: Yeah, I found it, thanks.
[15:52] <wieshka> but my vidoe input shows only blue screen
[15:52] <Da_Wrecka> 262144KB, which is 256MB.
[15:53] <Nagilum_> yep
[15:53] <gepatino> gnome-shell: Does anyone knows what the black bar at the bottom is? The one that appears when the pointer is at the lower-right corner?
[15:53] <Da_Wrecka> I suspect that's not dedicated... Know any way to find out for sure?
[15:54] <computa_mike> ogionnj: have you checked your repository locations?
[15:54] <pankaj_sharma> gepatino: those are 4 desktops
[15:54] <CarlosP> any 1 know anything about PXEBoot ThinClients ?
[15:54] <momo_> bcessa: btw, it was single quotes that would have worked too, you can enclose the entire string in single quotes and not worry about backslash escape sequences
[15:54] <BluesKaj> LWSDesigns, make sure you're updated , there was a flash update yesterday and make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed
[15:54] <ogionnj> computa_mike: No.  But it had no trouble finding packages
[15:54] <gepatino> pankaj_sharma, i'm talking about gnome-shell, not the standard gnome desktop
[15:54] <joby> Java seems to be working but nothing flash related will
[15:54] <Da_Wrecka> Still trying to figure out why I can play video with my external monitor set to 1024x768 but not 1280x1024, anyone have any clues?
[15:54] <bcessa> momo_: thnx ;)
[15:55] <LWSDesigns> Joby the only way i know that might help  to download the package manual here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP
[15:55] <momo_> bcessa: np
[15:55] <Nagilum_> Da_Wrecka: sure why not
[15:55] <computa_mike> ogionnj: the reason i was wondering was if you had upgraded from a previous version, and the repo's hadn;
[15:55] <janisozaur> joby, that's because you apparently use gnash, which is open-source flash, but might not work with 100% content out there
[15:55] <Da_Wrecka> Nagilum_: Are you saying you have an idea, or...?
[15:55] <ogionnj> computa_mike: so the repos should say maverick, right?
[15:55] <Nagilum_> Da_Wrecka: System->Preferences->Monitors enable second monitor
[15:55] <janisozaur> joby, but since you're not able to execute the simplest commands I can't help you
[15:55] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: what happens when you try with the higher resolution?
[15:56] <computa_mike> ogionnj: That's what I'm seeing here...
[15:56] <joby> janisozaur well everything work untill i update to 10.10
[15:56] <Da_Wrecka> TwoD: The movie player shows a black rectangle instead of the video I'm trying to play.
[15:56] <Da_Wrecka> Set the CRT to 1024x768 and the video plays as expected.
[15:57] <Da_Wrecka> The internal monitor stays at 1024x600 regardless
[15:57] <janisozaur> joby, do you even read what I say? it seems that you can't comprehend it, so please stop bugging me. there might be someone else that could help you
[15:57] <computa_mike> ogionnj: This is the version of Unity that I have installed : 0.2.46-0ubuntu5 (unity)
[15:57] <computa_mike> ogionnj: Could the old interface still be installed also?
[15:57] <lousygarua> oh no, just ran `sudo aptitude` from a terminal on 10.10 and it opened an ugly GTK gui! how do i use the beautiful ncurses terminal gui again?
[15:57] <ogionnj> computa_mike: what's in your startup apps?  Is Netbook Launcher in EFL there?  Is there a line for Unity?
[15:58] <pintook> hello is it now ok to upgrade to ubuntu 10.10
[15:58] <Exploiter> pintook, yes why not.. go for it
[15:58] <TANK8465> pintook: your suspend might break, but theres a quick fix for it. pretty much, DO IT
[15:58] <computa_mike> ogionnj: This is going to sound stupid - but how can I find that out?
[15:58] <ogionnj> system->preferences->startup applications
[15:58] <pintook> ok thanks
[15:58] <Da_Wrecka> I didn't like 10.10
[15:59] <ogionnj> computa_mike: system->preferences->startup applications
[15:59] <Da_Wrecka> The Unity interface makes me throw up in my mouth
[15:59] <Da_Wrecka> Desktop 10.10 might be okay, but I really dislike Unity
[15:59] <pankaj_sharma> I AM CURRENTLY upgrading to 10.10..        i hope everthing works
[15:59] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: sounds like what used to happen on my old Windows installation when I tried to play video on thesecondary monitor, hardware overlay only works on one surface at a time. Maybe something similar here?
[15:59] <Exploiter> pankaj ji dont worry, it wont..!!
[15:59] <joby> Well Since im a newby to commands.. i have updated to 10.10 and my flash will not work, i have updated my flash and it says its install. but when i goto a site i wont work
[16:00] <lousygarua> yay! just ran `sudo aptitude remove aptitude-gtk` and after the removal it uses the original aptitude ncurses gui again.
[16:00] <bergqvistjl> Hi, I have a very weird problem (which has also been happening since 10.04 as well, although I've done a complete re-format and re-install to 10.10 and its still happening)
[16:00] <bergqvistjl> Basically, roughly every other time (or sometimes it does it two times in a row) Ubuntu fails to boot. What happens is it hangs on the boot screen, if I press escape before-hand to view the text info, the last indication I get is that the fsck has run sucessfully on the drive. Any ideas? When i say hang i mean, no HDD activity, keyboard doesnt work, so i have to press the reboot button on the PC, and if i'm lucky the next time the PC usually boots fine as 
[16:00] <bergqvistjl> Mobo: Biostar t-power i45
[16:00] <bergqvistjl> CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
[16:00] <bergqvistjl> Graphics: XFX Nvidia GTX 275
[16:00] <FloodBot1> bergqvistjl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:00] <Nagilum_> Da_Wrecka: hmm, not really and idea, you try to fiddle with xrandr
[16:00] <pintook> eploiter;
[16:00] <arky> arky: in ubuntu do i need to shut down programs before I shut down my computer?
[16:00] <pankaj_sharma> there are no upgrades for this system.. what is this?
[16:00] <undecim> arky: Only if you need to save your work in that program
[16:00] <bergqvistjl> my problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512433/
[16:00] <computa_mike> ogionnj: I'm running unity, so it's all a little different
[16:01] <arky> thanks undecim
[16:01] <ogionnj> computa_mike: yeah.  I'm not sure how to find out in unity
[16:01] <bergqvistjl> sorry its a bit long-winded but I would like to get it sorted if possible. Also no-one ever reads my forum posts :(
[16:01] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: I'm using TwinView on my nVidia card with two screens, it extends the desktop to cover both screens with one surface, all managed by the card meaning hw acceleration is available on both. Would not be the case if I was using truly separate screens.
[16:01] <bergqvistjl> PM me if you have to.
[16:01] <Dulak> arky: no when you shutdown it will send signals to all running programs telling them to shutdown, you might lose unsaved work, but you don't have to stop everything to do a shutdown
[16:01] <janisozaur> bergqvistjl, if your problem doesn't fit here, because floodbot blocks you, it's 99.9% tl;dr
[16:01] <Da_Wrecka> TwinView isn't available to me. My netbook has an Intel video chip
[16:01] <bergqvistjl> yeah ive put it in a pastebin now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512433/
[16:02] <arky> thanks dulak
[16:02] <janisozaur> bergqvistjl, don't. express it in fewer words
[16:02] <undecim> bergqvistjl: When your computer hangs, does your caps lock flash?
[16:02] <bergqvistjl> no
[16:02] <bergqvistjl> everything is non-responsive or in the state its in when it hanged
[16:02] <pankaj_sharma> why my upgradation getting failed
[16:02] <lahwran> undecim: remind me what it means when it does...
[16:02] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: I know, that was just me thinking loud about why it works for me. Tried disabling overlays in the player to see if that makes a difference? Will be slower, but might give a clue on what's failing.
[16:02] <bergqvistjl> so if caps-lock was on, it stays on, and vice versa
[16:03] <Misterio> pankaj_sharma: What fail are you getting?
[16:03] <undecim> lahwran: Flashing caps lock means kernel panic
[16:03] <TwoD> undecim: isn't that numlock?
[16:03] <Da_Wrecka> TwoD: Not sure how to do that with Totem
[16:03] <pankaj_sharma> it shows.. upgradation failed for this system
[16:03] <bergqvistjl> even so, nothing flashes, it just stops working and hangs
[16:03] <undecim> TwoD: Is it? It's been forever since I've seen a kernel panic, lol
[16:03] <Exploiter> pankaj ji make sure you software update is not setup to LTS updates only
[16:03] <shane2peru> can someone recommend a better torrent client then Transmission?  transmission seems to kill my router and vonage phone,
[16:03] <joby> Is there anyone who can help me with a flash problem, i have updated to 10.10, and i have updated all the nessacry flash, but flash programs still wont load. it tells me to update your flash. but it shows as the newest
[16:03] <shane2peru> no way to limit the number of connections that I know of.
[16:03] <lahwran> undecim: oh it does? I thought it meant some kind of hardware panic ..
[16:04] <littlebobby> travkin, deinstalling pulseaudio did the trick -- sounds in flash no longer have a delay. interestingly, my multimedia keys don't cause any actions anymore. did you experience the same?
[16:04] <Misterio> pankaj_sharma: Only that? Any text describing error?
[16:04] <undecim> lahwran: idk, it's been a while since I've had either...
[16:04] <goltoof> shane2peru: utorrent
[16:04] <pankaj_sharma> no text
[16:04] <Misterio> pankaj_sharma: Can you take a screenshot please?
[16:04] <shane2peru> goltoof: is that in the repos?  easy to setup and use?  is there gui?
[16:04] <travkin> littlebobby, mhm, nope, but i'm using XFCE (Xubuntu). I think/know it's not related with the pulseaudio
[16:04] <TwoD> undecim: same here, have managed to hang it beyond panic a couple of times, completely irresponsive, but when it did go in to panic mode I think it was numlock. Anyway, I think my issue was with a faulty hdd.
[16:04] <preetam> undecim now the network indicator is not appearing in the system tray even after restart and run nm-applet.
[16:04] <kili2> hi
[16:05] <ogionnj> computa_mike: I have to deal with this later.  Got other things to do.  Thanks for your help
[16:05] <travkin> littlebobby, make sure in Preferences -> Sound are set ALSA device, not PulseAudio
[16:05] <littlebobby> travkin, I've checked that they still register correctly (in the shortcut-settings), but there is just no action to it
[16:05] <bergqvistjl> So has anyone got any ideas? I'm guessing I think its a compatiblity problem with my hardware
[16:05] <Misterio> !screenshot | pankaj_sharma
[16:05] <littlebobby> travkin, yeah thanks
[16:05] <undecim> bergqvistjl: This may be a hardware issue
[16:05] <arky> i just installed ubuntu, but my reading indicates that freebsd is a truer unix and more core oriented. Also the user community has improved. So I'm thinking of switching. Please advise
[16:05] <bergqvistjl> gagh :(
[16:05] <shane2peru> goltoof: thanks for the recommendation I will check it out.
[16:05] <pankaj_sharma> Misterio: wait
[16:05] <preetam> undecim i think some problem with  indicator-network
[16:05] <undecim> arky: Don't switch to freeBSD until you know your way around a *nix system
[16:05] <kili2> i got following problem, i started ubuntu 10.10 (fresh download from ubuntu.com) and booted it (without installing) to save some data from a 10-year old notebook
[16:06] <kili2> now it wants a user :O
[16:06] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: sorry, don't know that either. Totem doesn't seem to have many options. I mostly use VLC and there it's amongst the output device settings.
[16:06] <joby> Is there anyone who can help me with a flash problem, i have updated to 10.10, and i have updated all the nessacry flash, but flash programs still wont load. it tells me to update your flash. but it shows as the newest
[16:06] <preetam> undecim if i install indicator-network connman automatically get installed.
[16:06] <Da_Wrecka> TwoD: Okay, progress. I went into Multimedia Systems Selector>Video and set the default output plugin to X Window System (No Xv)
[16:06] <raptor_> what about nvidia 96xx drivers on 10.10? does anybody installed it succesfully?
[16:06] <littlebobby> travkin, oh, there's a dialog now (in german) that says that it's waiting for an answer from the audio system :-)
[16:06] <Da_Wrecka> Now the video plays, although it's extremely choppy and not suitable for actual use
[16:06] <undecim> preetam: indicator-network must be connman's frontend...
[16:06] <LWSDesigns> Arky you are correct the community is growning I'm a huge BSD user but its often still to complicated for the newbie or novice user
[16:06] <Poul|Raider> where is the gnum mount file located
[16:06] <shane2peru> goltoof: no utorrent in repo. :(
[16:06] <undecim> preetam: Make sure you have network-manager-gnome installed
[16:06] <Misterio> raptor_: Don't you have the option for installing them?
[16:07] <shane2peru> can someone recommend a good torrent client to replace transmission? in the repos with gui easy to use?
[16:07] <teliti> Hello. I did install texlive and everything works fine, except the "umlaut" of german. I already installed texlive-lang-german. Does anyone has a hint?
[16:07] <LWSDesigns> korrent
[16:07] <raptor_> Misterio: i think about nvidia's official, not from Addiotional Drivers
[16:07] <erUSUL> shane2peru: deluge
[16:07] <TwoD> Da_Wrecka: ah ok. I don't have much experience with Intel cards, never had those problems with the one in my netbook, maybe driver thing?
[16:07] <shane2peru> LWSDesigns: I should have mentioned for Gnome. :)
[16:07] <Da_Wrecka> Thing is, I just don't get why it works fine in 1024x600/1024x768 and not 1024x600/1280x1024
[16:07] <LWSDesigns> yea it works great
[16:07] <joby> i use transmission bitorrent it works great for me
[16:07] <shane2peru> erUSUL: thanks!!!  I will give that one a try
[16:07] <Misterio> shane2peru: KDE applications works fine under GNOME
[16:08] <preetam> undicem i am installing network-manger-gnome
[16:08] <undecim> preetam: Ah, that's it then.
[16:08] <arky> thanks undecim and LSWDesigns
[16:08] <shane2peru> Misterio: yes, I know, but they usually draw in a LOT of deps.
[16:08] <LWSDesigns> I found transmission to be resource hog unlike Ktorrent in gnome
[16:08] <CarlosP> any 1 know anything about PXEBoot ThinClients ?
[16:08] <aeon-ltd> rtorrent!!!
[16:08] <undecim> preetam: Since network manager is running fine, this should let you control it. Just run "nm-applet" from the alt+f2 box to start it then.
[16:08] <kili2> i got following problem, i started ubuntu 10.10 (fresh download from ubuntu.com) and booted it (without installing) to save some data from a 10-year old notebook...  and i dont want to reboot because it needed 30 mins to reboot :(
[16:08] <joby> LWSDesigns i went to the link u provided but it tells me my flash player is newest version
[16:08] <preetam> undicem  the network-manager-gnome is already there
[16:08] <bergqvistjl> i'm going now. So any other ideas/suggestions/info about my problem?
[16:09] <kili2> and now it wants a user
[16:09] <TwoD> aeon-ltd: can the rss auto-download features of rtorrent match those of µTorrent?
[16:09] <Da_Wrecka> guess I'm stuck with 1024x768 for now.
[16:09] <preetam> undicem no use nm-applet does not work
[16:09] <shane2peru> transmission kills my internet because of too many connections, and I can't seem to find a way to lower the connections
[16:09] <shane2peru> I did limit the speed, but that didn't help, totally kills firefox or any browsing
[16:09] <undecim> preetam: Maybe you don't have the notification area in your panel
[16:09] <LWSDesigns> I think its becauase you have installed a 3rd party or Gnome Flash player maybe
[16:10] <kili2> i got following problem, i started ubuntu 10.10 (fresh download from ubuntu.com) and booted it (without installing) to save some data from a 10-year old notebook... and it wants a user...  and i dont want to reboot because it needed 30 mins to reboot :(
[16:10] <preetam> undicem then how to resolve theissue
[16:10] <aeon-ltd> TwoD: suppose not, but then again i don't torrent 'series' of things, so the client fits for the user's needs
[16:10] <TwoD> kili2: please be patient
[16:10] <undecim> preetam: right-click on the panel, click "add to panel" find "notification area" and add it
[16:10] <TwoD> aeon-ltd: ok, thanks.
[16:10] <JWebb22> Hey everyone. I need help.
[16:10] <undecim> preetam: Then nm-applet should show up
[16:10] <karzon_> Does anyone know if I can use a bluetooth headset (kind made for a phone) in ubuntu as a earphone and mic? Specifically "Plantronics Explorer 360"
[16:11] <lahwran> why is my ubuntu install stuck on 89%?
[16:11] <Hukka> Where are the upstart boot scripts, and more specificly where is gdm started?
[16:11] <joby> LWSdesigns i will try and see if that works
[16:11] <lahwran> it's been like that for nearly 30 seconds :(
[16:11] <arky> Do others agree that FreeDSB is harder to use than Ubuntu? I have mediocre computer skills
[16:11] <LWSDesigns> maybe go into synaptics and browse your installed programs
[16:11] <lahwran> Hukka: /etc/init/
[16:11] <Pici> Hukka: upstart stuff in /etc/init/
[16:11] <JWebb22> I'm trying to hook my Xbox 360 to my laptop to get on Live and it's not letting me.

[16:12] <TwoD> kili2: what are you trying to do that needs a password?
[16:12] <kili2> TwoD: to login?
[16:12] <kili2> i dont know
[16:12] <Hukka> Hm, thanks. But seems like it's not obvious how gdm starts it's pulseaudio instance. Any hints on finding where that happens?
[16:12] <kili2> normally it just starts
[16:12] <SaRy> lahwran, Maybe you need to wait a while longer for it to finish.
[16:12] <kili2> but now it wants a user...
[16:13] <joby> LWSdesigns: Thank you for that Tid Bit! remvoing the nash and just having Adobe.. it worked thank you
[16:13] <kili2> and i don't know the root password
[16:13] <YeTr2> my executable bits on my /bin/chmod seem to be wrong. howto fix?
[16:13] <undecim> arky: FreeBSD is definitely harder to use than Ubuntu. It doesn't come with a desktop, and isn't specifically designed to be user friendly like Ubuntu is
[16:13] <preetam> undicem the notification area is there since Xchat and battery indicator icon is there.
[16:13] <LWSDesigns> Cheers Joby :)
[16:13] <CarlosP> Q; Im tryn to setup PXE boot for thin clients but cant get more than 3 clients to connect any ideas on what it could be?
[16:13] <Hukka> Also when do the things not under /etc/rc5.d start? I'm trying to make system pulseaudio start earlier than the gdm pulseaudio
[16:13] <undecim> preetam: Those use a different app, the indicator applet

[16:15] <YeTr2> tensorpudding: dunno. even better thou, when I try to change it, I get 'Operation not permitted'
[16:15] <YeTr2> tensorpudding: using a chmod executable I copied from another system

[16:15] <tensorpudding> YeTr2: Are you doing it as root?
[16:15] <YeTr2> tensorpudding: busybox chmod won't change it either.
[16:15] <SaRy> lahwran, Sounds like you have a bad CD image.Either the file itself or you need to reburn the ISO to the CD.Do a checksum on the image first to make sure it is good or you will wind up wasting a lot of CD's.hecking iso images & cd's is over here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

[16:17] <undecim> preetam: Try to kill it with killall nm-applet and try that again

[16:18] <YeTr2> i has chmod again.
[16:18] <theTroy> is there a way to see what programs are using internet? I am constantly receiving 6-7 kb/s but I cannot tell WHAT program is doing that
[16:18] <YeTr2> heh... havn't played with lsattr in forever.
[16:18] <tensorpudding> YeTr2: it sounds like something malicious attacked your system
[16:18] <Dulak> YeTr2: You got cracked and they wanted to make it hard for you to fix.  You need to backup your data and wipe everything.  You cannot trust any binary executable on your system now.

[16:19] <spotter> every time I run powerpoint X restarts on a new VT

[16:24] <Dulak> WXZ: meta packages have thier own section, so for instance if you do 'aptitude show packagenamehere' and it lists 'Section: metapackages' it's a metapackage

[16:32] <AxionStile> boot first
[16:33] <AxionStile> then hd
[16:33] <AntonioPT> AxionStile, if you don't want to use USB you can try dowloading again and burning to another cd
[16:33] <Wraithulek> thanks
[16:33] <Wraithulek> !fixgrub
[16:33] <AxionStile> yeah :( i think ill try usb :)
[16:33] <AxionStile> Thanks!
[16:33] <AxionStile> brb
[16:33] <bradluyster> I'm having some  trouble with X on Maverick using an Intel 945GME video card:  Using dual screens, my virtual screen size is limited to 2048x2048, while it *should* be limited to 4096x4096.  Disabling DRI Manually doesn't help.
[16:33] <AntonioPT> !grub2 maybe?
[16:33] <AntonioPT> !grub2
[16:33] <LiquidInsect> So hey guys (speaking of GRUB), I installed 10.10 (netbook) via Wubi, and I just installed a kernel update, and upon rebooting, I don't even get a GRUB prompt. I choose ubuntu from the NTLDR menu, and I'm dumped back to the bios. Any ideas?
[16:34] <preetam> undecim ps -ef | grep nm-applet command shows 2 nm-applet are already started.
[16:34] <Vinetou> undecim is AES-128 the strongest cipher or is it AES-256?
[16:34] <SaRy> JWebb22, see #14 on that link.
[16:35] <undecim> Vinetou: I think you can go as high as you want with the number, but most people stop at AES-256
[16:35] <lahwran> my isntall is stuck at 95% running dpkg
[16:35] <AntonioPT> LiquidInsect: have you tried installing without Wubi? It's really easy, shrink the Windows partition, create another for ubuntu and you're done, and you'll face less problems than using Wubi
[16:35] <LiquidInsect> AntonioPT: I can't shrink it
[16:35] <Vinetou> undecim so AES-256 is stronger encryption than AES-128?
[16:35] <LiquidInsect> It's set up with 4 primary partitions
[16:35] <AntonioPT> LiquidInsect: why?
[16:35] <lahwran> what should I do to kill dpkg nicely and resume package operations after isntall?
[16:36] <undecim> Vinetou: Yes
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> LiquidInsect:  ive seen some windows installs that way these days.. very annoying of them.
[16:36] <LiquidInsect> the first is very small, the second contains windows, the third is a recovery partition, the fourth is another tiny one
[16:36] <LiquidInsect> yesh
[16:36] <AntonioPT> lahwran: I don't think you can do that...
[16:36] <LiquidInsect> annoying is putting it lightly
[16:36] <LiquidInsect> that's why I went with wubi
[16:36] <lahwran> AntonioPT: :(
[16:36] <LiquidInsect> but I might just have to throw away the recovery partition and hope that I don't have to reinstall windows at any point
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> LiquidInsect:  I would reccomend using virtualbox, or installign to a flash drive. instead of using wubi..
[16:37] <lahwran> ooh it finised!
[16:37] <Vinetou> unde please something in Wikipedia... i just want you explanation on the subject...  please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard
[16:37] <LiquidInsect> haha virtualbox on a netbook
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> LiquidInsect:  make the recovery disks like the  pc makers force you to.
[16:37] <AntonioPT> LiquidInsect: you can safely remove the recovery partition, I did it ages ago on my HP laptop :) and the other tiny partition, what's in it?
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> LiquidInsect:  ive ran vbox on my netbook.
[16:37] <Vinetou> please read this: A related-key attack can break 256-bit AES with a complexity of 299.5, which is faster than brute force but is still infeasible. 192-bit AES can also be defeated in a similar manner, but at a complexity of 2176 which is also infeasible. 128-bit AES is not affected by this attack.
[16:37] <mtchll> anyone has any clue about this random server crashes? http://paste.ubuntu.com/512449/
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> LiquidInsect:  Running from a flash drive on my netbook worked very well also.
[16:37] <LiquidInsect> AntonioPT: no idea, windows doesn't recognize it
[16:37] <Vinetou> why is AES-128 not affected by this attact?
[16:37] <Vinetou> attack*
[16:37] <AntonioPT> Can you open it on Ubuntu?
[16:38] <undecim> Vinetou: I have no idea. I've heard about the attack, but don't know the details
[16:38] <LiquidInsect> AntonioPT: If I could run it I'd tell you ;)
[16:38] <njdoyle> does anyone know how to turn off the proprietary ATI drivers from the command line? I turned them on and now X doesn't start.
[16:38] <AntonioPT> LiquidInsect: Live CD/USB :)
[16:38] <LiquidInsect> AntonioPT: no CD drive
[16:38] <AntonioPT> Live USB then :D
[16:38] <LiquidInsect> Nor do I have a USB stick handy
[16:38] <LiquidInsect> so yeah
[16:38] <LjL> Vinetou: err, this is not really the right channel for that. try #crypto
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> njdoyle:  see if /etc/X11/xorg.conf is using them. If so you could either rename that file.. or edit it to use the other drivers.. (i dont know what the other ones are called)
[16:39] <LiquidInsect> I was hoping there was some way to get into GRUB but I guess I'll have to reinstall
[16:39] <Da_Wrecka> Dr_Willis: You can run from a flash drive if the flash drive is't a piece of ass at least.
[16:39] <Vinetou> undecim why can you attack the stronger encriptions, i.e. AES-192 and AES-256, but you cannot attack the weaker AES-128  ?
[16:39] <TwoD> Weird! Xorg was using 60% cpu (maxing out at least one core) on its own and I couldn't see why. Accidentaly took irrsi out of fullscreen and poof; CPU usage is down to barely noticable again :s
[16:39] <eeepcme> hello
[16:39] <njdoyle> Dr_Willis, I was hoping there was an on/off switch like there is in the GUI
[16:39] <EddInaBox> Hello, I am struggling to get IEEE1394/Firewire to work, can anybody help?
[16:39]  * kostas_thess__ br
[16:39]  * kostas_thess__ brb
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> njdoyle:  jockey has a text option. You could disable it that way I guess..
[16:39] <Da_Wrecka> I wound up having to replace the SSD in my netbook because the SSD was such an unmitigated pile of ass, I'm not even kidding
[16:39] <AntonioPT> LiquidInsect: well, if it reboots when choosing Ubuntu, then it must be a problem with GRUB... If it was a kernel problem atleast grub would appear
[16:39] <nlawson> i ma trying to use the plugin manager for drupal and i am getting the following error message ... warning: ftp_connect() [function.ftp-connect]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /hermes/web05b/b583/pow.mediabridges/htdocs/playpen/sites/all/modules/plugin_manager/ftp.backend.inc on line 94. ... what is the directory i should direct the FTP information to on the website?
[16:40] <IdleOne> !language | Da_Wrecka
[16:40] <njdoyle> Dr_Willis, what is jockey?
[16:40] <LiquidInsect> AntonioPT: yeah
[16:40] <Vinetou> undecim so is using EAS-128 better than AES-192 or AES-256then?
[16:40] <pr0xy> Hey, I'm having trouble installing Kubuntu 10.10 from CD.
[16:40] <undecim> Vinetou: That's interesting...
[16:40] <Da_Wrecka> Alright, noted. But the SSD was still awful.
[16:40] <LiquidInsect> I think once I've got my USB drives back I'll make an external recovery disk and then just install without wubi
[16:40] <LiquidInsect> way too many headaches with that
[16:40] <undecim> Vinetou: Even with that, breaking the encryption is still infeasable though
[16:41] <rusty149> pr0xy: please be more specific. what happens
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> njdoyle:  thats the name of the hardware-drivers tool's actual binary name.
[16:41] <eeepcme> hi guys
[16:41] <herbstleyd> Hello there, I'm having a bit of an issue with ALSA on Ubuntu 10.10.
[16:42] <njdoyle> Dr_Willis, okay, found jockey-text, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. (strange name though, would never found it with a name like that)
[16:42] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: fire away, what's wrong?
[16:42] <pr0xy> rusty149 after I install from the CD, It reboots. When It reboots, kubuntu never shows up.
[16:42] <graphitemaster> I'm having an issue with the update to Ubuntu 10.10
[16:43]  * graphitemaster should no never to update Ubuntu ever, because every fucking time he does it something breaks
[16:43] <Vinetou> undecim i would like to know why AES-128 is not affected by the related-key attack
[16:43] <IdleOne> !language | graphitemaster
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> njdoyle:  ever try to come up with an origianl name for software? :) About everything is taken.. heh.
[16:43] <graphitemaster> this is the greatest one yet, my second monitor does not work at all
[16:43] <herbstleyd> Basically, I tried to get WINE to work with ALSA sound drivers (OSS ain't quite doing the job) so I tried to update ALSA (and failed miserably). My sound card is no longer "there"
[16:43] <aeon-ltd> graphitemaster: solution = use rolling release distros :)
[16:43] <LjL> Vinetou: seriously, ask in ##crypto
[16:43] <graphitemaster> after spending the last 20 hours I give up
[16:43] <rusty149> pr0xy: what do you see instead? Have you removed the cd?
[16:44] <graphitemaster> I reinstalled the nvidia drivers
[16:44] <eeepcme> how can i edit the grub bootloader..im using 10.04, in jaunty i used to edit the menu.lst but now i cant find that in 10.04. anybody?
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  whats your nvidia card/chipset?
[16:44]  * undecim is reading about AES related-key attacks
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | eeepcme
[16:44] <njdoyle> Dr_Willis, I would have called it something like "restricted-driver-tool" or something so it could be found easily with some guesswork and tab completion
[16:44] <herbstleyd> I've tried reinstalling alsa-base and several other packages around it, but I can't get it to work...
[16:44] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: wine audio has always worked without a problem for me, no configuration needed.
[16:44] <pr0xy> yes, the CD was removed. It never gives the bootloader. stops at the bios
[16:44] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, nvidia geforce 9800gt
[16:44] <undecim> preetam: See if you can get System -> Preferences -> Network Connections
[16:45] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, using nvidia driver: 256.53
[16:45] <undecim> Vinetou: Well, for starters, these are two seperate attacks. One for 256 and one for 128
[16:45] <amit> Ubuntu 10.10 hangs with tremendous load upto 9.56 and 164% cpu usage for most active programs(values for Gnome system manager)
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  Hmm. I got an 8800gtsxxx here. that ive used twinview on.  using whatever nvidia-current gives.. You want a pastebin of my xorg.conf? Ive rarely had sny issues with the nvidia drivers.
[16:45] <preetam> undecim yes i am getting the network connection
[16:45] <aleka> trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a VM. Installer wont work because it detects I have less than 2.6GB space, but I have a dynamic HD on the VM and do not want to assign a static size on the VM. Any way to get around this?
[16:45] <herbstleyd> Not for me I'm afraid :/ tried WINE 1.2 stable, which didn't work, so I built 1.3.4 from source and ALSA drivers didn't show up in the winecfg list. Only OSS (but wait, hasn't that been discontinued in 10.10?), which gave me "Audio test failed" messages.
[16:45] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, idk, everytime I reboot - I have to reinstall nvidia -
[16:45] <undecim> preetam: It's just a matter of the icon showing up, which I don't understand why it doesn't...
[16:45] <graphitemaster> it's annoying :/
[16:45] <dwarder> aleka: set it to 10
[16:45] <AntonioPT> Why don't you use Wine PPA?
[16:46] <rusty149> pr0xy: assuming you used default settings for GRUB. It seems like in issue of BIOS settings
[16:46] <herbstleyd> Now, after reinstalling alsa-base, I don't have ANY sound at all.
[16:46] <mcsean> I've successfully upgraded to 10.10 on my netbook. Is there any way to shrink the size of the icons in the doc on the left or make it auto-hide?
[16:46] <pr0xy> rusty149 what should I do?
[16:46] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  sounds like a dmks type issue. But ive not seen that problem. (dkms? DMKS?) that thing that keeps kernsl drivers all synced. :)
[16:46] <herbstleyd> Tried that too, AntonioPT :/
[16:46] <herbstleyd> Nothing's working at all
[16:46] <rusty149> pr0xy: ensure the correct harddrive is selected and is at the top of the boot list
[16:46] <graphitemaster> well this is driving me up the walls, it's not finding my second monitor at all
[16:46] <herbstleyd> I've got NO sound whatsoever now, not even native.
[16:47] <preetam> in startup application under Network Manager the command is "nm-applet --sm-disable"
[16:47] <undecim> Vinetou: It looks like because the block size of AES is only 128, you can get more information from multiple block from the cipher?
[16:47] <pr0xy> rusty149 it is.
[16:47] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, I reinstalled ubuntu-desktop
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:   so the nvidia driver IS working with 1 monitor?
[16:47] <graphitemaster> yes
[16:47] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: you compiled your own alsa?
[16:47] <undecim> Vinetou: Idk, I'm not a cryptographer, lol
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  but whats this having ro reinstall it every time then? If using 1 monitor you dont have to?
[16:47] <rusty149> pr0xy: if you are sure the bios is correct then try reinstaiing GRUB
[16:47] <Vinetou> undecim i asked in crypto
[16:48] <EddInaBox> I can't get Firewire to work at all, can anybody help?
 i would like to know why AES-128 is not affected by the related-key attack
 There is less freedom to affect the difference in the block with the key during encryption.
[16:48] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, well it seems stable now, previously it was just breaking each time
[16:48] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, the issue is I need both my monitors
[16:48] <herbstleyd> wb!
[16:48] <aleka> dwarder: I assigned 10 GB and still same issue
[16:48] <kn33> Please, who can help me? I am panicing. I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 10.10. I have an encrypted LVM. Now I rebooted and there is an error: the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found grub_rescue> _
[16:48] <herbstleyd> Anyway, in response to the compile question: Nope.
[16:49] <rusty149> pr0xy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512460/
[16:49] <pr0xy> rusty149 it's not an issue in 10.04, and i don't know how to reinstall grub.
[16:49] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, like I even tweaked the most of stuff I could, and nothing works
 because a block in AES-128 is exactly 128 bits, that is why AES-128 is not affected by the related-key attack
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  to enable my 2 monitors. i install teh drivers, reboot, run 'gksudo nvidia-settings' enable twinview, then restart the X server (sudo service gdm restart)   thats all ive ever had to do..
[16:49] <preetam> undecim in startup application under Network Manager the command is "nm-applet --sm-disable"
[16:49] <herbstleyd> I know I must've done something stupid. I've had a REALLY bad week with my box so far.
[16:49] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, thats all I ever have to do too
[16:49] <pr0xy> rusty149 does that apply to 10.10?
[16:49] <AntonioPT> I have no idea what happened to leave you without audio if you only messed with Wine...
[16:49] <AntonioPT> Try reinstalling alsa.
[16:49] <graphitemaster> but inside the nvidia-settings utility it's not finding my second monitor!
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  theres also the 'nvidia-xconfig --twinview (i think) tool to enable it..
[16:50] <rusty149> pr0xy: yes
[16:50] <herbstleyd> I tried reinstalling alsa-base, no change.
[16:50] <undecim> preetam: I forget what the sm-disable flag does...
[16:50] <herbstleyd> Even after reboot
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  that is odd..  DVI? VGA?
[16:50] <graphitemaster> DVI
[16:50] <graphitemaster> on the same card
[16:51] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, and the driver utility shows that the card is dual link enabled, it's just not finding my other monitor
[16:51] <amit> Little help here!!!Ubuntu 10.10 hangs with tremendous load upto 9.56 and 164% cpu usage for most active programs(values for Gnome system manager)
[16:51] <Plugh> Does anyone happen to know the typical delay between a new release becoming available and when update manager will offer the option of doing the dist upgrade?
[16:51] <herbstleyd> Taking the risk of sounding like an idiot: I don't know what could have gone wrong, lol.
[16:51] <graphitemaster> and i know sure it's not the driver, because it's the same version as it was before the upgrade
[16:51] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: you have no idea how many times has that happened to me :D
[16:51] <sebsebseb> Plugh: 10.04 only shows other LTS's by default, but you can get it showing normal releases
[16:51] <kn33> Please, who can help me? I am panicing. I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 10.10. I have an encrypted LVM. Now I rebooted and there is an error: the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found grub_rescue> _
[16:51] <sebsebseb> Plugh: system > administration > software sources
[16:51] <tensorpudding> amit: sounds like you might have a runaway process
[16:52] <Plugh> sebsebseb: ok, ty
[16:52] <sebsebseb> Plugh: ok your welcome :)
[16:52] <pr0xy> rusty149 should I use nomodeset because I have an nvidia carn?
[16:52] <pr0xy> card
[16:52] <elias> what does it mean when the pulse audio icon in the notification area has a red sign on it?
[16:52] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: have you already tried reinstalling alsa?
[16:52] <herbstleyd> Yep :(
[16:53] <Dr_Willis> pr0xy:  to install to my nvidia systems I have to use nomodeset first.. untimm i get the nvidia drivers installed.
[16:53] <Plugh> sebsebseb: not that it matters too much right now. Testing with the live CD seems to indicate that PulseAudio is still broken in 10.10 with my audio hardware that previously worked fine with just ALSA.
[16:53] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: have you tried checking alsamixer (I know it's a stupid question, but it has happened to me :D)
[16:53] <herbstleyd> /proc/asound/cards has disappeared miraculously, that's where the problem is!
[16:53] <rusty149> y
[16:53] <herbstleyd> There is no device to mix with :D
[16:54] <sensisensi> hi. can i run ubunu 10 on my acer 1.5ghz celeron M 512mb old laptop?
[16:54] <Wraithulek> yes
[16:54] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: have you installed an exotic kernel recently? (compiled your own, ppa, mainline, ...)
[16:54] <herbstleyd> Nope.
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> sensisensi:  should be able to.
[16:54] <sensisensi> Wraithulek:were u saying yes to me?
[16:55] <Wraithulek> i have run ubu 10.10 on 1.6 PC with 128 ram
[16:55] <Wraithulek> yess
[16:55] <pr0xy> bye
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> sensisensi:  it may be a little slow. You may want to try out lubuntu
[16:55] <joe85> is OpenSSH server installed by default on ubuntu?
[16:55] <sensisensi> Dr_Willis: ok thanks
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> joe85:  No it is not.
[16:55] <cutout33> Hi, am trying to develop php on ubuntu the problem is I have to put the files under /var/www and so I have to edit the files as root. is there a way that I add my self to a certain group or something to be able to edit these files using my user with out sudo?
[16:55] <Dulak> joe85: the client is but not the server
[16:55] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, what if I pasted you my xorg.conf, perhaps you can take a peak
[16:55] <Galvatron_2> Hi
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  I could paste you mine that works.. but really the xorg.conf's for my twinview systems are very minimal anyway.
[16:56] <graphitemaster> now only if ubuntu stop moving files around in ever release I could find my xorg file :/
[16:56] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: How long have you got ubuntu installed? is it fresh 10.10 (recent)?
[16:56] <herbstleyd> I think the easiest solution will be to back up everything of importance and do a clean install. I've spent 42 hours (!) letting testdisk run on my Array (just to tell me my MFT is gone), I might as well spend another 20 minutes reinstalling
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  if the nvidia-settings tool is not seeing the monitor. I dont think its an xorg.conf issue
[16:56] <herbstleyd> Not even 48h mate.
[16:56] <herbstleyd> And yes, 10.10
[16:56] <MrKeuner> hello, in which configuration file should one specify the environment variables for them to be recognized withing GNOME applications? Eclipse fails to recognize the export line specified in ~/.profile, for instance
[16:56] <SaRy> The Dr is here .. nice to see you Dr_Willis :)
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> graphitemaster: there isn't one by default, it's not moved at all
[16:56] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: that's what I was going to propose you :)
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> SaRy:  yep. and close to my bed time
[16:56] <Dulak> cutout33: you can just 'chown -R username:username /var/www' to your own user and it will work fine, I do that for my dev boxes
[16:56] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, do you have remote desktop, perhaps you can spy on my desktop here
[16:56] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, don;t worry I don'r run compiz or any of that slow shit
[16:57] <SaRy> Dr_Willis, On time.
[16:57] <cutout33> Hi, am trying to develop php on ubuntu the problem is I have to put the files under /var/www and so I have to edit the files as root. is there a way that I add my self to a certain group or something to be able to edit these files using my user with out sudo?	
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> !ohmy | graphitemaster
[16:57] <herbstleyd> Well, thanks for trying mate. If you're ever around V.N. Milfontes, come down for a beer or 2 ;)
[16:57] <Plugh> cutout33: /etc/groups
[16:57] <graphitemaster> sorry :/
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> cutout33: use: sudo -i    and you will not need to enter your password until you type: exit
[16:58] <cutout33> Plugh : what group should I add my self to?
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  heres one of my twinvioew enabled xorg.confs  --> http://pastebin.com/mFpKdBug
[16:58] <AntonioPT> herbstleyd: I spent my holidays there when I was a kid, didn't know you were tuga :D
[16:58] <Plugh> cutout33: make that /etc/group. You can add yourself to www and if the files are group www with group write perms you can make changes to the files without having to use sudo
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  i notice that half that file is comments/commented out stuff :)
[16:59] <Plugh> cutout33: you will need to logout/login after changing /etc/group
[16:59] <EddInaBox> Can anybody tell me where the best place to get help with Firewire is?
[16:59] <cutout33> Plugh, thanks I'll try it
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> EddInaBox: if it's under ubuntu then here
[16:59] <Plugh> cutout33: yw.

[17:00] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, well for me it's just not finding my second monitor ;(
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> joe85: uninstall java to make the packages square then install from there
[17:00] <EddInaBox> ActionParsnip: Yes, Ubuntu 10.10, but I've asked here a few times and nobody has replied.
[17:00] <m0tan> Used WUBI to install Ubuntu on a work machine because I didn't want to repartition it etc.  -- tried the Maverick upgrade last night and it failed.  Ubuntu no longer boots (GRUB prompt).  Do I need to uninstall it and reinstall it?
[17:00]  * graphitemaster checks to see if his bios had turned off dual monitor
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> EddInaBox: if nobody replies then nobody knows, try later as there will be different users

[17:06] <srinur> hi
[17:06] <rigved> hi everyone
[17:07] <Wraithulek> hi
[17:07] <Galvatron_2> I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with USB ADSL modems: Sagem F@st 800 and Thomson SpeedTouch 330. Their drivers seem to make my system freeze completely while loading the desktop. All I can do is a hard reset. Could someone take a look at this log: http://pastebin.com/hQ1Mdd69 ?
[17:07] <rigved> can anyone tell me which virtualization software should i use to run a separate linux kernel in ubuntu 10.04
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  qemu may do what you need.
[17:07] <Guest36257> ActionParsnip : dude i am trying to do many things but its not working but last time 9.04 i386  is working how this problem is comes
[17:07] <phiberjenz_> Hi! What is the best virtualization software to run WinXP under Maverick?
[17:07] <appleseed> Something has been gradually eating up my main disk space the past week, how can I see which processes are writing to the disk atm?
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> phiberjenz_:  virtualbox can handle XP very nicely.
[17:07] <KM0201> phiberjenz_, i like virtualbox
[17:07] <Ceno3x> hi guys, I'm trying to setup ubuntu one on 10.04 but something's wrong, the thing doesn't connect. can someone help me debug?
[17:07] <marko> how do i remove pusleaudio in ubuntu 10.04
[17:08] <Ceno3x> appleseed: iotop might be a good bet
[17:08] <rigved> Dr_Willes: so i can run the basic linux kernel in it?
[17:08] <appleseed> will try thx Ceno3x
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  I think it has such a feature. its very flexiable.
[17:08] <KM0201> phiberjenz_, but if you need USB, like to sync an ipod or zune... use the version on the website, instead of the OSE version in the ubuntu repos
[17:08] <phiberjenz_> Thanks, does it have USB support?
[17:08] <Ceno3x> appleseed: there's some more advanced tricks you can do if that doesn't work
[17:08] <rigved> Dr_Wills: thank you
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> phiberjenz_:  the version from the virtualbox homepage does.
[17:08] <marko> is this good command for removing pulseaudio? sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
[17:08] <lesshaste_> which tool lets me select pages from a pdf doc in linux?
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> !virtualbox | phiberjenz_
[17:08] <srinur> anyoner can help me connect to my DSL wired internet connection on Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit OS??.. more info about it here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595080
[17:08] <phiberjenz_> ok, thank you very much, will give it a try.
[17:08] <phiberjenz_> like you said, i need itunes
[17:08] <Plugh> marko: The short answer is you can't. The longer answer is you could but not without a lot of work. Too many things require pulse audio. I'd love to get rid of it myself as it just messed up my sound system.
[17:09] <rigved> DR_Willis: and how good is virtualbox?
[17:09] <NCS_One> hi
[17:09] <rigved> Dr_Willis: is it only for GUI based OS?
[17:09] <Ceno3x> rigved: great. seriously
[17:09] <NCS_One> how can I check de IPs an app is using ?
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  it work for all my needs...
[17:09] <jpds> NCS_One: ifconfig ?
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  what are you wanting to run in it?
[17:10] <marko> Plugh, the problem is that i get this when trying to play digital audio: aplay: main:654: audio open error: Device or resource busy. I lloked in google and someone said it's because pulse audio is blocing it
[17:10] <wer_> How can I download linux-header source ?
[17:10] <rigved> Dr_Willis: initially only a basic linux kernel
[17:10] <jpds> NCS_One: Or do you mean using as in what it's connecting to?
[17:10] <NCS_One> jpds: yes
[17:10] <rigved> Dr_willis: then maybe more GUI based OS
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> rigved: it can run a gui desktop if you wish
[17:10] <Ceno3x> wer_: download the right package
[17:10] <Guest36257> plz help me i am trying to install ubuntu 10.04,10.10 64 bit but it always come blank screen
[17:10] <finalblogger> ActionParsnip where do i have to enter port numbers
[17:10] <finalblogger> as there is not field for that
[17:11] <red_ragon> i read that linux kernel is  monolithic, but book is old. Is kernel 2.6.31 monolithic?
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> wer_: install linux-headers-generic    (assuming you are using the generic kernel)
[17:11] <Ceno3x> red_ragon: yes
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> finalblogger: in the config
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> rigved:   check out qemu and se eif it does what you need,
[17:11] <jpds> NCS_One: sudo netstat -pt
[17:11] <yuseffathi> hi

[17:11] <red_ragon> LoJuru: Ceno3x: thnx
[17:11] <Ceno3x> wer_: download correct package and dependencies from the website, install on offline machine
[17:11] <Plugh> marko: You can check the options for sound output devices and try the other options provided (if any are provided).
[17:11] <rigved> Dr_Willis: ok
[17:11] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, nothing not even your config worked
[17:12] <graphitemaster> this is pissing me off
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> wer_: then grab the deb then copy it to the system, you will need to repeat if there are any deps needed
[17:12] <jpds> NCS_One: You might what this command if you just want IPs: sudo netstat -ptn
[17:12] <rigved> thank you everyone
[17:12] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, why does the driver hate me so much :/
[17:12] <NCS_One> jpds: thanks
[17:12] <Ceno3x> so no help with the non-functioning ubuntu one?
[17:12] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis,  can't do anything without my second monitor.

[17:15] <KM0201> sensisensi, nothing
[17:15] <Plugh> marko: be thankful you have sound at all with 10.04. I have none on my desktop but its ok on the laptop. Can't help you with HDMI as I don't use HDMI
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> sensisensi:   it dosent have the eyecandy. and different default apps for many tasks..
[17:15] <kirill> hello there
[17:15] <marko> Ceno3x, yes
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> sensisensi:  but you can install ubuntu stuff you may need.
[17:15] <KM0201> sensisensi, the only difference is the GUI.. they are the same OS under the hood
[17:15] <yuseffathi> no
[17:15] <Guest36257> whenever i am trying to install ubuntu 10.04,10.10 in my 64 bit computer its always come console screen
[17:15] <kirill> are there somebody who can help me to configure ALSA to support microphone?
[17:15] <wer_> Ceno3x: my network card's driver isn't there in ubuntu so I have to re-install it whenever a grub update is made.
[17:15] <Ceno3x> marko: if you get working, let me know, I can't seem to pull it off myself :D
[17:15] <graphitemaster> Dr_Willis, i don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:16] <graphitemaster> yes I ran nvidia-xconfig :/
[17:16] <sensisensi> KM0201: ok cool. so its just as good to get for my old crap laptop?
[17:16] <graphitemaster> 1000,000,0000 times
[17:16] <marko> Ceno3x, we'll wish me luck
[17:16] <Smail> tell me a program like AdminPack only under Linux?
[17:16] <Wraithulek> need some like virtualbox for Ubuntu 10.10
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> Smail: what does it do?
[17:16] <yuseffathi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/512474/
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> graphitemaster:  i think you run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig -a' to make one.
[17:16] <marko> Plugh, try this http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> Guest36257: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloded? Did you check the CD for defects?
[17:16] <Ceno3x> Wraithulek: why not use virtualbox?
[17:16] <wer_> Ceno3x: so right now my driver requires linux-kernel source
[17:16] <sensisensi> thanks KM0201&Dr_Willis
[17:16] <KM0201> sensisensi, lubuntu is fine... some might consider LXDE not to be as user friendly as Gnome(ubuntu)... but it's fine... you hae to pay for eyecandy, and that price can't be paid by older systems
[17:16] <Wraithulek> it is support USB and CD-Rom?
[17:17] <wer_> Ceno3x: but 10.04 dvd has linux-headers upto *-24 only
[17:17] <finalblogger> ActionParsnip thanks for all but plzz tell me how to configure port numbers
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> sensisensi:  i installed Lubuntu-desktop on my Ubuntu system. Trying it out right now. Seems to cover most all the  features needed.
[17:17] <finalblogger> where is that option
[17:17] <lpjhjdh> so I'd like to uninstall all software from a couple external ppa's, how can I get a list of installed packages?
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> Wraithulek:  the virtualbox from the vbox homepage supports USB devices.. both versions OSE and non-ose support cdroms
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> finalblogger: it should be part of the config I dont use evolution, its too bloated for my tastes
[17:18] <Plugh> marko: ok, I'll take a look. My desktop is stuck on 9.10 until I can fix the sound problem, or until PulseAudio gets fixed.
[17:18] <sensisensi> cool thanks guys.i love irc and i love linux
[17:18] <Wraithulek> thanks
[17:18] <red_ragon> What is the linux standart file system?
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> red_ragon: there isnt one
[17:18] <lpjhjdh> found a couple of suggestions with aptitude search and dpkg-query but neither seemed to work
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> red_ragon: ubuntu uses ext4 by default
[17:18] <ZykoticK9> !clone | lpjhjdh
[17:18] <red_ragon>  Linux's standard filesystem lacks some advanced features, such as
[17:18] <red_ragon> journaling. However, more advanced filesystems for Linux are available, although not
[17:18] <red_ragon> included in the Linux source code;

[17:19] <jimcooncat> red_ragon: that sounds like an ancient article
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> red_ragon: linux doesn't have a standard file system, linux is the kernel ONLY
[17:20] <Smail> add users, group policies is desirable from a GUI!!!???
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> red_ragon: you can install Linux on XFS or reiserfs if you wish, there is no standard

[17:24] <jimcooncat> red_ragon: most distributions now use ext3 by default, but as ActionParsnip observes there are many available. Supposedly the future will be btrfs

[17:25] <jimcooncat> Da_Wrecka: I'm behind the times!
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Da_Wrecka:  ext4 is the default for the last release or 2 i belive.
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> BTRFS was debated to be the default in 10.10. but aparently got pushed back.

[17:28] <srinur> lady_gaga_1: what do mean check the network connection?? I'm on it now with Windows 7

[17:29] <dborba> Dr_Willis, the issue im running into is that the printing interface only prints "1 page per document page" - since the document page is too big, I end up with only a corner... :\

[17:31] <Guest3777> frnds i need urgent help
[17:31] <appleseed> Ceno3x: ok I think I've found the problem with my diskspace being gradually eaten away, it's the ~/.gvfs folder content. When I try to ls or access that folder the shell hangs, is there a way to move .gvfs to another disk or something?
[17:31] <Smailik> Another question: ping host and tracert to the host does not pass. what is the problem??? pleaseeee tell me!
[17:31] <wer_> Ceno3x: sorry..didn't noticed..
[17:31] <Wizzard7> I use Thunderbird for my Yahoo emails..
[17:31] <finalblogger> hmm
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> appleseed:  .gvfs is a special direcotry used by gnome to let you access your samba shares and other things....
[17:32] <Wizzard7> (I like technical chat... )
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> appleseed:  examine it again from the console when your user is logged off.. It should be empty.
[17:32] <Ceno3x> wer_: man, if you don't know anything about this, it's gonna be a pain to install the packages manually, you probably need to do some reading if you want to do advanced stuff like this
[17:32] <appleseed> Dr_Willis: yes I do have Samba running
[17:32] <Smailik> Another question: ping host and tracert to the host does not pass. what is the problem??? pleaseeee tell me!
[17:32] <llutz> Smailik: iptables blocking? cable broken? icmp blocked?
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> appleseed:  so if you do things to .gvfs you will be doing them to the samba shares you user has mounted/accessed to.
[17:32] <Ceno3x> appleseed:  hmm.what do you mean exactly my disckspace being gradually eaten away? does .gfvs grow a lot in size over the weeks? over a couple of minutes?
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> appleseed:  so in short.. dont be messing with .gvfs :)
[17:33] <sacarlson> Smailik: is this host on your local lan?  if so you might try arping instead

[17:33] <ActionParsnip> aphid: if you press ALT+F2 and run: nautilus     do you get the desktop ok?
[17:33] <appleseed> Ceno3x: about 100MB extra a day, and I only have 850MB left
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> Guest3777:  does it mention busybox ?
[17:34] <Ceno3x> appleseed: wow, let me check how big mine is
 Smailik: is this host on your local lan?  yes LAN
[17:34] <aphid> ActionParsnip - altf2 doesnt seem to do anything.  i can cntrl-alt-f1 though.. and if I put in a usb drive it pops a window up for it in the center of the screen :S
[17:34] <appleseed> Dr_Willis: I'll try turning off Samba and see if that helps
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> appleseed:  lot that user out of the desktop, login at the alt-ctrl-f1 console. and see if .gvfs directory has anything in it. Mine is totally empty
[17:34] <Ceno3x> appleseed: mine is empty.
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> aphid: if you log on as a different user, is it ok?
[17:34] <ravma> hi my internal mic is not working for 10.10 release
[17:34] <sacarlson> Smailik: most windows system don't return ping so I use sudo arping hostname  it will return if it's there
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> appleseed:  ssh type shares can also get mounted there. and I think iso/archive mounts as well.
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> ravma: is the system a laptop?
[17:35] <ravma> could any one solve this
[17:35] <jags> I'm trying to manage my ipod in 10.4, I'd tried a few different apps but apparently my ipod database is too new for linux to handle? Is there a quick way to fix it?
[17:35] <aphid> ActionParsnip -- not sure, I only have one user?
[17:35] <Guest3777> i tried all ur solution mention on the link but its doesnt work
[17:35] <ravma> laptop mini
[17:35] <Guest3777> tell me
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> aphid: boot to root recovery mode and make one
[17:35] <appleseed> Dr_Willis, Ceno3x: ok thx a mill.
[17:35] <Ceno3x> appleseed: yeah, have you checked what's in that folder?
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> ravma: what make / model ?
[17:35] <ravma> packardbell dot
[17:35] <Wizzard7> ravma, I had to look thru the devices in Sound preferences to find my mic
[17:35] <KM0201> Guest3777, when it boots to the console, does it mention busybox?
[17:35] <Guest3777> installing screen comes after that i am chosing any file it goes to blank screen
[17:35] <gomateshwar> i am having  problem with NIC. its not getting detected. lspci shows 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd. Device ffff (rev 01)
[17:35] <aphid> ActionParsnip -- good idea :D trying it
[17:36] <ironcitadel> Trying to d/l 10.10 but it hangs at the 75% mark.  3 different mirrors.  Any ideas anyone?
[17:36] <ravma> but while recording sound it works
[17:36] <Wizzard7> have to change defaults to use my USB headset, too
[17:36] <aquarat> ikonia, are you here ?
[17:36] <Guest3777> What  bzy box
[17:36] <Ceno3x> ironcitadel: maybe you've run out of disk space xD
[17:36] <Guest3777> means
[17:36] <Guest3777> ?
[17:36] <ravma> tell me how
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> ironcitadel:  try the torrents
[17:36] <gomateshwar> i am having  problem with NIC. its not getting detected. lspci shows 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd. Device ffff (rev 01)
[17:36] <Wizzard7> Dr Willis, how dp you keep up with all the questions?  :)
[17:37] <Ceno3x> ravma: well, you can record sound with it so the driver must be working. in what applications doesn't it work?
[17:37] <KM0201> Guest3777, when the console comes up, does it say something about busybox.. it's a pretty simple answer
[17:37] <appleseed> Ceno3x: actually I have a bazillion pdf's and browsers and shells and kate sessions active so I can't logout atm; i've been suspending to ram the past 30 days
[17:37] <ikonia> aquarat: in and out, why ?
[17:37] <ravma> skype
[17:37] <ironcitadel> Ceno3x  Nope, got several GB available.  In fact I deleted a couple old iso's before starting.
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> Wizzard7:  lots of coffee.
[17:37] <novaspirit> hi, trying to add a new icon/location for my place up by the menu
[17:37] <Wizzard7> I must make more, then....
[17:37] <barberan> How do I recognize directed broadcast IP address from the list of IP's ?
[17:37] <Guest3777> no it does't mention any busybox
[17:37] <ravma> and also in soud preference its not showing any sense
[17:38] <Ceno3x> appleseed: yeah, I pulled one of those 30days recently. I just asking you to check what files were in the folder, maybe you can recognize something and see what's going on
[17:38] <Smailik> sacarlson>tracert level at which the model OSI operates???
[17:38] <aquarat> ikonia, I just wanted to let you know that I never got that raid pci-e card working, I tried it on two different motherboards, in 16x slots and 1x slots, the same result each time. I eventually swapped it with a pci version (Silicon Image chip)
[17:38] <aquarat> just thought I'd let you know
[17:38] <appleseed> Ceno3x: i'll muster up the courage to logout and get back to you, thx =)
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Guest3777: when you boot, does it mention busybox?
[17:39] <barberan> How do I recognize directed broadcast IP address from the list of IP's ?
[17:39] <Ceno3x> ravma: well, try this. go to sound preferences and input devices. You can see the input level changing if you make noise
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> ravma: so the mic works, just not in skype?
[17:39] <ikonia> aquarat: how very annoying, I'm sorry it didn't work
[17:39] <jags> broadcast is the last ip in a subnet I think
[17:39] <Guest3777> no it doesnt mention busybox tell me frnd what can i do
[17:39] <Ceno3x> appleseed: dude, I was just saying like open nautilus and go the folder, no logout needed
[17:39] <ravma> i tried but no sense
[17:39] <aquarat> no worries, just one of those things, was an experiment to start off with :)
[17:39] <finalblogger> i fixed my toucpad and now its working but still i cant do scrolling through it....???
[17:39] <Ceno3x> ravma: what's "no sense"?
[17:40] <ravma> i mean not working
[17:40] <Ceno3x> ravma: what's "not working"?
[17:40] <ironcitadel> D/L of 10.10 hangs at 75%.  df=54GB avail.  Tried 3 mirrors same result.  Ideas anyone?
[17:40] <appleseed> Ceno3x: no it seems logout is necessary, both ls and nautilus stalls when trying to access .gvfs
[17:40] <maquis> all the instructions i've found for adding a google calendar to evolution say that when i click new calendar, there should be a "google" type in the type drop-down box.  I don't have that, and am trying to figure out if I need an additional plugin package of some sort.  I'm on ubuntu 10.10

[17:41] <Guest3777> i tired many times
[17:41] <Wizzard7> ironcitadel, odd, D:'s shouldn't hang. I had not problems with 10.10
[17:42] <jags> finalblogger, I'm not sure what your issue is, you can try installing the touchpad app from synaptic and see if you can change the options
[17:42] <Ceno3x> ravma: sorry man I gotta go, good luck
[17:42] <appleseed> Ceno3x: oh wait, haha, there it goes, .gvfs is empty afterall; back to the drawing board
[17:42] <andybiker> Guest3777, try reinstalling. it's quicker!
[17:42] <Wizzard7> tried a different browser>?
[17:42] <ironcitadel> Wizzard - Well, thanks for the info.  I'll see if I can get a torrent going.. Peace,all
[17:42] <maquis> all the instructions i've found for adding a google calendar to evolution say that when i click new calendar, there should be a "google" type in the type drop-down box.  I don't have that, and am trying to figure out if I need an additional plugin package of some sort.  I'm on ubuntu 10.10
[17:42] <Wizzard7> torrents can be the problem if they stall, I guess
[17:42] <Guest3777> reinstalling how can do that when it is not working i tried more than 5 times
[17:43] <Guest3777> plz help ,e
[17:43] <Nimrodel> hello to all
[17:43] <MrKeuner> hello, in which configuration file should one specify the environment variables for them to be recognized withing GNOME applications? Eclipse fails to recognize the export line specified in ~/.profile, for instance
[17:43] <Ceno3x> appleseed: in accessories you have the disk usage analyzer, would this be of any help?
[17:43] <Wizzard7> Ravma, in your sound prefs, how many input devices show there?
[17:43] <KM0201> Guest3777, stop the whining.. is it an installt hat is not working, or when you try to boot the CD
[17:43] <llutz> maquis: its an add-on called "provider for google calendar"
[17:43] <ravma> only one
[17:44] <Wizzard7> Ravma, only one? Mine has like 4 input and 4 outputs showing.  Is it a USB headset for Skype?
[17:44] <fragalot> Hey - some *#$$! deleted the /var/log directory. is there a way of regenerating this? (Without it, I have no logs, apache won't run, mysql cries, and various other services are molesting kittens)
[17:44] <enav> Hello how can i configure 2 videocards in the same computer????
[17:44] <ajsie> how do you go forward/backward one page in vim?
[17:44] <appleseed> Ceno3x: with ls ~/.gvfs it now says: ls: cannot access .gvfs/movies on foreign-pc: Input/output error ---- Ah, I actually have a stalled copy process going from said foreign-pc, one of those that you just cannot seem to kill...
[17:44] <ravma> no
[17:45] <Wizzard7> Ravma, y ou said it is "internal".  Is this a laptop?
[17:45] <Dr_Willis> enav:  depends on the chipset of the cards.
[17:45] <enav> well i got 1 ATI and 1 nvidia
[17:45] <IpSe_DiXiT> hi, starting in reovery mode (only way i could) it tells me that my screen, graphic card and input device settings could not be recognized correctly and ill have to do it myself. how?
[17:45] <ravma> during  the call i use internal mic  to speek
[17:45] <enav> and 3 displays
[17:45] <Dr_Willis> appleseed:  perhaps a reboot in the near future is a good idea...
[17:45] <enav> Dr_Willis: well i got 1 ATI and 1 nvidia  and 3 displays
[17:45] <AxionStile> Okay
[17:45] <appleseed> Dr_Willis: agreed; thx for your help.
[17:45] <AxionStile> so, I installed ubuntu 9.10 just now.. via pendrive
[17:45] <ravma> but its not working i tried to configure in soundpreferece to enable the mic
[17:46] <AxionStile> stand alone
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> enav:  ive heard it can be done.. but only seen 1 person ever in this channel that was doing it.
[17:46] <enav> who is that
[17:46] <maquis> llutz: okay... do I find that in synaptic, or where?
[17:46] <ravma> but unfortunately  its not working
[17:46] <dogmatic69> hi all, i just tried to install the google talk plugin on ubuntu 10.10 x64 and it died, now i cant open any browsers getting this error when trying in shell Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 612: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
[17:46] <Wizzard7> Ravma, understood...   if it is the only input source showing in Sound,  and you have it selected, I cannot see how it cannot be working
[17:46] <dogmatic69> anyone seen that or have some advice?
[17:46] <AxionStile> Now, i had windows xp on here, and now it's saying my hd is failing and has bad sectors annnnd *reads list* something to do with a current pending sector count.. i see red text and it appears as if my hard drive is more dangerous than nuclear waste
[17:46] <Wizzard7> unless it is not recognized or wrong drivers...
[17:46] <dborba> looks like photoprint will get it done - it's AWEFULLY slow though :\
[17:47] <seemawn> hi
[17:47] <AxionStile> I'm runing the palimpsest disk utility
[17:47] <AxionStile> doing a scan real quick
[17:47] <seemawn> i have a little issue with the knetwork-manager applet
[17:47] <AxionStile> its almost complete i believe
[17:47] <ravma> i tried in skype to fix the problem but in mic configuration its like pulse audi o
[17:47] <enav> Dr_Willis: windows works fine with the 2 cars  but linux disable the nvidia
[17:47] <llutz> maquis: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/4631/
[17:47] <seemawn> it will not connect to a wpa-enterprise network
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> enav:  no idea. he was in here a few days back. It will also depend on how new the cards are.. a lot of the ati cards are not supported by the fglrx drivers any more.
[17:47] <seemawn> with peap, msvchap2 and sth with 0
[17:47] <AxionStile> Any recommendations?
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> enav:  you did install the nvidia drivers for that card?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> AxionStile: drives are cheap, if it has bad sectors then cut your losses and grab a new one
[17:47] <AxionStile> Action but it was fine just last night :(
[17:48] <Guest3777> Console screen comes during installing ubuntu 10.10
[17:48] <seemawn> sth version 0 is peap version 0
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> seemawn: not all wifi adapters can connect to wpa
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> AxionStile:  ive had hard drives die while i was using them.. Click-Clack-Crash-Dead....
[17:48] <maquis> llutz: I'm using evolution... do thunderbird addons work in evolution?
[17:48] <llutz> maquis: no
[17:48] <AxionStile> Well that hurts my feelings :(
[17:48] <enav> Dr_Willis: i got 2 drivers on the driverJokey list... ATI is working and nvidia show me the ubuntu logo
[17:48] <Wizzard7> Ravma. same as I have. I have to change things in the Sounds section of System, Preferences when I use Skype to enable the headset, then have to change it back for speakers to work.. The microphone on headset shows and an audio input in Sounds.
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> AxionStile:  hard drives are the weakest link these days.
[17:48] <seemawn> ActionParsnip: i would not complain when in all other configurations (networkmanager-gnome) it works
[17:48] <llutz> maquis: sorry my bad, i misread your question
[17:48] <maquis> llutz: no problem
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> AxionStile: there will be a line between ood and bad. I suggest you grab the ultimate boot cd and use the drive manufacturers tool to test it
[17:48] <maquis> i might consider thunderbird, though... :)
[17:49] <AxionStile> It was fine until i started trying to install mint last night
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> enav:  all i can do is suggest checking the forums.
[17:49] <llutz> maquis: thunderbird is crap too
[17:49] <AxionStile> alright :o)
[17:49] <aphid> ActionParsnip - it complained about not being able to write some files in the user directory (I probably should have given the new user one eh?) and then dumped me ...... to a blank desktop pattern
[17:49] <dogmatic69> anybody? i would love to look it up on google but cant open a browser now :(
[17:49] <maquis> llutz: are there any good options?
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> seemawn: maybe it can't connect to it, you should see whats what
[17:49] <Wizzard7> Dr Willis, how well I know, had a 250GB WD drive get sick... read errors, talk about SLOW....
[17:49] <AxionStile> what'
[17:49] <seemawn> i mean: Except the air pressure, all settings remained the same:
[17:49] <llutz> maquis: depends on your needs, my favorite (with gui) is claws-mail
[17:50] <AxionStile> what's sad is this pc is not even a year old :o(
[17:50] <Dr_Willis> Wizzard7:  really hurts when a 1TB hd gets errors.. I got one i call 'Flakey' it seems to have some issue in the first 100gb.. :) so i got that partioned off..  and i dont keep anything critical on it.
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> dogmatic69: make sure there are no processes relating to the browser you run
[17:50] <Wizzard7> Ravma, has this Mic ever worked?
[17:50] <ravma> i tried installig kmix but no chnage no option in to chaange
[17:50] <seemawn> computer on the same place, but instead of gnome, I try connecting to the network with the kde-builtin settings
[17:50] <seemawn> *program
[17:50] <dogmatic69> ActionParsnip: i just restarted, there is nothing running then... afaik
[17:50] <Dr_Willis> AxionStile:  ive seen HDs die quicker/younger then that .. or die after very very very old
[17:50] <ravma> yes
[17:50] <Wizzard7> Dr Willis, is solid state the way to go?
[17:50] <maquis> llutz: interesting
[17:50] <bluespotmouse> hello everyone!
[17:50] <maquis> i've only ever used the gmail web-ui and mutt in the past...
[17:50] <maquis> :)
[17:50] <marcial> hola
[17:51] <dogmatic69> ActionParsnip: checked in sys monitor and there is nothing
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> Wizzard7:  I imagine in a year or 2 it will be that way.  the prices are almost reaonable. :)
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> dogmatic69: if you run the browser from terminal, the output should give clues
[17:51] <ravma> when i opened my sound recorder its workingnow
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> Wizzard7:  but i need Drive space.. Not speed.
[17:51] <llutz> maquis: unfortunately claws has no real calendar-plugin at all
[17:51] <marcial> alguien habla espanol
[17:51] <ravma> but during the call not working
[17:51] <bluespotmouse> what is the difference between gtk and kde?
[17:51] <Wizzard7> Ravma, so if I understand, when you go to System, preferences, sounds, the Inpit tab, only one item there and it is selected? What is it called?
[17:51] <seemawn> never mind. This channel seems to be too high frenquated. Forget my question please, I try it in #ubuntu.de
[17:51] <seemawn> .
[17:51] <dogmatic69> ActionParsnip: i pasted it just now, im new to ubuntu and dont know what it means, Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 612: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
[17:51] <dogmatic69> also cant look it up
[17:51] <sebsebseb> bluespotmouse: good question
[17:52] <Smailik> how to change the resolution in Ubuntu, through the terminal! where and what you need to register?
[17:52] <Wizzard7> Dr Willis, I meant for stability
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> bluespotmouse:  gtk is a library used by gnome.. kde uses qt instead of gtk. (i think i got that right) (very simpilified)
[17:52] <llutz> maquis: keep using mutt, it's imho the best mua at all :)
[17:52] <kn_> I would like to reinstall grub2 according to this commands, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9881898&postcount=2 however, how can I find out what I have to put for X and Y ? My ubuntu is in an encrypted LVM and I don't want to screw up.

[17:56] <noumaan> VwieVendetta: that was for me?
[17:56] <Wizzard7> Ravma, OK, I did a CD install on mine, it picked up all inputs and outputs.. but I'm guessing your internal microphone is Mono, and that's the problem...
[17:56] <sebsebseb> !ask | krikke959

[17:56] <Braber01> I'm using the ubuntu netbook edtion and I'd like to have gdm disabled i know how to disable it m, however I can't rember wich file I need to rename to disable it.

[17:57] <Wizzard7> Ravma, right, it shuld be recognized as Mono, to begin with
[17:58] <Dbl_Tap>  zayr: switch between keyboards how?
[17:58] <zayr> whats the keyboard shortcut for switching keyboard layouts ?
[17:58] <Wizzard7> My guess is it is not being recognized.
[17:58] <noumaan> Smailik: it allows you to boot into your linux partition and fixing grub from inside ubuntu is easier
[17:58] <zayr> Dbl_Tap: ^
[17:58] <Dulak> Braber01: sudo update-rc.d gdm disable
[17:58] <sebsebseb> kn_: ok might have to re install
[17:58] <Wizzard7> the Stereo input is likely from you Sound Card
[17:58] <x0rs> Whenever I execute the function on line 4 the dictionary it erases any data that it held before the function was executed. I need it to add the data instead of overwrite it, any ideas? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/275035/
[17:58] <kn_> sebsebseb, I would like to reinstall grub2 according to this commands, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9881898&postcount=2 however, how can I find out what I have to put for X and Y ? My ubuntu is in an encrypted LVM and I don't want to screw up.
 I realized
[17:58] <AxionStile> hmm
[17:58] <sebsebseb> kn_: oh you did the encrypted home option?
[17:58] <kokozedman> hey guys
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  check /etc/init/gdm.conf - if that exists. upstart is handling gdm. reame the file to be /etc/init/gdm.DONTSTART  or simil;er to disable it.
[17:59] <sebsebseb> !grub2 | kn_
[17:59] <kokozedman> anyone knows an FTP client that can do parallel uploads?
thanks
[17:59] <zayr> anyone  can help me ?
[17:59] <kokozedman> a command line-tool for ubuntu server
[17:59] <Wizzard7> Does anyone have an idea why my Flash Player is on speed??
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> !info wput
[17:59] <sebsebseb> zayr: not sure about keyboard shortcut, but you can add keyboad switcher applet to the panel
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> kokozedman:  try wput ?
[18:00] <kn_> sebsebseb, no, everything is encrypted except /boot
[18:00] <KB1JWQ> ncftp can do parallel uploads.
[18:00] <kokozedman> Dr_Willis: let me check that out ... thanks
[18:00] <Wizzard7> It's anew thing with 10.10....
[18:00] <zayr> sebsebseb: i want keyb. shortcuts
[18:00] <krikke959> I installed ubuntu 10.04 yesterday but i can't play DVD disks on the standard player supplied with it, it just plays the disk with a lot of snow and interference. when I try to find the dvd codec it says it is missing it doesn't find anything
[18:00] <MrRoboto> what is the best backup software for ubuntu?
[18:00] <sebsebseb> kn_: well then things probably aren't quite as secure as you think they are, and  using encryption with Ubuntu for partitions, really can mess up on people at times
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> krikke959:  theres some script you have to run to enable dvd playback I recall. check the !dvd factoid.
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> !dvd | krikke959
[18:00] <Braber01> quit
whether the image to make a bootable disk?
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> !backup | MrRoboto
[18:01] <x0rs> nm i figured it out, I had my dict = {} inside the function that called the outside function
[18:01] <kn_> sebner, it is an encrypted LVM
[18:01] <sebsebseb> !lvm | kn_
[18:01] <sebsebseb> kn_: anyway I can't really help you, so good luck I guess
[18:01] <kn_> sebsebseb, it is an encrypted LVM
[18:01] <Zuph> I'm trying to get a dual screen configuration working with Ubuntu 10.10, using an Intel 945GME Video chipset.  So far, it will not let me set a virtual screen size greater than 2048x2048, although the driver is supposed to support up to 4096x4096.  I have tried disabling DRI and Acceleration to no effect.
[18:03] <IpSe_DiXiT> i need to configure my graphic card (ATI) my screen and my input device settings (so the output says) otherwise ill just be able to access my sys in recovery mode-failsafeX. anyone can help?
[18:03] <Wizzard7> Does anyone have an idea why my Flash Player is playing at warp speed?  Tried Flash player updated, different browsers and plugins, no joy.
[18:04] <Wizzard7> I'm on a new install of 10.10
[18:04] <Wizzard7> 64 bit
[18:04] <Breakthru> IpSe_DiXiT, try low graphics mode, then click System - Administration - Hardware driver
[18:04] <Dbl_Tap> Wizzard7: pretty sure I seen that listed in bugs still.
[18:04] <Wizzard7> Ah... I see...
[18:04] <kokozedman> Dr_Willis: are you sure this is capable of parallel uploads?
[18:04] <Dbl_Tap> Wizzard7: for 64-bit specifically.
[18:04] <Wizzard7> Joe Cocker looks even worse in high speed.
[18:05] <IpSe_DiXiT> Breakthru: already done, it says there are no proprietary drivers installed on this computer
[18:05] <Wizzard7> Dbl_Tap, it won't let me install a 32 bit player
[18:05] <kokozedman> i've looked at wput's man page... but i can't see anything about that
[18:05] <Breakthru> IpSe_DiXiT, but is there the option to install ATI drivers?
[18:05] <Wizzard7> Dbl_Tap, ok thanks....
[18:06] <lokkju> just switched to 10.04 with a dual monitor setup, and having a bit of an issue.  there seems to be a 300px or so "dead space" between my two monitors - windows dragged into it disappear before coming out the other side, etc
[18:06] <lokkju> ideas?
[18:06] <sc30317> lokkju, what kind of graphics card are you running?
[18:06] <alset> NickServ alset BJnh4hr7
[18:06] <Dbl_Tap> lokkju: are you using proprietary drivers for the card.
[18:06] <mobius> alset: "woops"
[18:06] <IdleOne> alset: Change your nickserv password
[18:06] <IpSe_DiXiT> Breakthru: nope
[18:06] <alset> lol
[18:07] <lokkju> GeForce GT 220 (nVidia).  not using the proprietary drivers
[18:07] <sc30317> y not?
[18:07] <KM0201> i'm surprised that doesn't happen more often
[18:07] <lokkju> sc30317, it's a workstation, I don't need need anything the closed drivers give me...  unless you're suggesting that is the problem
[18:08] <rusivi> alset: It's best to do that in the freenode, never in the chat screen (even if your comfortable with it).
[18:08] <osx5> hello everyone
[18:08] <osx5> I was wondering, I did the minimal install and what is a program I need to get to extract .deb's or install them
[18:08] <osx5> a gui one just to have
[18:08] <lokkju> osx5, dpkg or apt-get
[18:08] <Dbl_Tap> lokkju: i'd start there first.

[18:08] <osx5> k
[18:09] <osx5> lokkju: problem is when I tried to run apt-get install 7zip it didn't work
[18:09] <osx5> I guess my repositories are bad?
[18:09] <sc30317> lokkju, I have found that installing the closed drivers always seems to fix problems
[18:09] <dborba> so much for me claiming that printing in ubuntu was less painful than on winblows :X
[18:09] <lokkju> sc30317, Dbl_Tap, thx, I'll try it
[18:09] <sc30317> lokkju, unless you have a specific reason why you would NOT want to used the closed drivers, do it
[18:09] <lokkju> osx5, what error?
[18:10] <osx5> lokkju: package 7zip is not available but reffered to etc etc
[18:10] <preetam> pls help i am getting this "* (nm-applet:3743): WARNING **: <WARN>  constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager."output for command nm-applet.

[18:20] <JackStoner> wakeupsticky: :P, i think otherwise...
[18:20] <gaurav__> i after installing ubuntu 10.10 when i am trying to boot ubuntu 10.10 it only comes blank screen

[18:21] <LogicallyDashing> Gnea, Seagate Barracuda 7200.9
[18:21] <wakeupsticky> i like the idea of the jvm
[18:21] <LogicallyDashing> looks like S/ATA
[18:21] <lolo> which kind of sucks since ALL of my files are on discs right now
[18:21] <wakeupsticky> but if i wanted to program in java i'd program in smalltalk :P
[18:21] <JackStoner> wakeupsticky: quite neat right? :P
[18:21] <Gnea> lolo: not sure on that one... haven't bothered with 10.10 yet, as it isn't an LTS release... perhaps someone else has
[18:21] <henry276> could anyone help me fix a problem concerning networkmanager no longer accessible in taskmenu?
[18:21] <haakonn> wakeupsticky:  hundreds of languages run on top of the jvm, java is just one :)
[18:21] <blakkheim> henry276: install wicd

[18:22] <haakonn> good good :)
[18:22] <LogicallyDashing> Gnea, at least as old as the drive itself, figure 3 years
[18:22] <VwieVendetta> Which Basic idioms are good for Unix?
[18:22] <Dbl_Tap> wakeupsticky: if you have a bootable cd try to boot up with it to test the drive, if it doesn't work will point you in the right direction.
[18:23] <LogicallyDashing> maybe 5 years
[18:23] <lolo> well can anyone tell me the first step to take to try to figure out why the drive doesnt appear?
[18:23] <lolo> i like learning new stuff ;)
[18:23] <wakeupsticky> hey, something odd...when i do "sudo shutdown 0" in the terminal and ubuntu shuts down, the computer doesn't turn off
[18:23] <Gnea> LogicallyDashing: I would try a new sata cable, that's solved many of my sata woes in the past
[18:23] <LogicallyDashing> lolo, do an lspci and see if the drive shows up there
[18:23] <LogicallyDashing> Gnea, thanks :)
[18:23] <wakeupsticky> is it supposed to turn the computer off or am i supposed to do that once i get the ubuntu screen?
[18:23] <Dbl_Tap> wakeupstick, lolo: see my comment to wakeupsticky above; got confused with my convos
[18:24] <Gnea> LogicallyDashing: not sure why, but sata cables tend to have a relatively short lifespan compared to ide/scsi cables
[18:24] <JackStoner> wakeupsticky: what are you trying to do?
[18:24] <wakeupsticky> lol just shutdown the computer

[18:28] <kukibird1> osx5 sudo apt-get update
[18:28] <Dbl_Tap> lolo: if you have a bootable cd try to boot up with and see if it works; will be a quick way to see if you have a bad drive.

Normal HDD movement sounds, nothing to be concerned about. I also have a newer external HDD purchased a month ago that is silent doing anything.

When I click print, an authorization box pops up, showing what appears to be an unchangable "none" as my username and a text input for a password (although there are no labels on either of these fields). There is no authorization needed for this printer (neither on my windows machine or at all according to the admin). Does anyone know what password is being requested? Thanks!
[18:37] <giuseppe_> hi
[18:37] <kukibird1> osx5 right clicking on archives should give you options or start the default archive manager
[18:37] <JackStoner> henry276: did that work??
[18:37] <osx5> kukibird1: this was a mminimal install
[18:38] <trism> tado: last I checked (in lucid), it was hard-coded to show a keyboard indicator in the notification area when you have more than one keyboard layout, I'll take a quick look in maverick and see if it is changed though
[18:38] <henry276> jackstoner: i'm trying.
[18:38] <vjj2000> hi everyone  how do i change  the default os in grub e.g. i would like to have windows as the default until i am quiet familiar with my new ubuntu 10.10
[18:38] <KB1JWQ> vjj2000: Edit your grub configuration.
[18:38] <tado> trism: my problem is the opposite: it always shows which layout i'm using, and i don't need it to be shown in tray with icon and country code next to it. would like to take it away from there
[18:39] <KB1JWQ> vjj2000: The "default" option. :-)
[18:39] <llutz> vjj2000: edit /etc/default/grub
[18:39] <valheru> hi everyone, having a screwy problem with grub. Essentially have grub + ubuntu installed on one drive and Windows 7 on another whole drive. Grub seems to be stuck in the bootloader of the windows 7 drive . I have run startup repair on the Win7 partition a ton of times and each time it allows me to boot into it once or maybe twice and then it goes back to trying to boot grub...this all happens even with the linux disk unplugged
[18:39] <iBeur> bonsoir
[18:39] <valheru> its like grub keeps reinstalling itself into the MBR somehow
[18:39] <LoJuRu> vjj2000, Are you new to Linux?
[18:39] <rodemires> Good day all,  where can i get help for tvtime?
[18:40] <kenaj> bye
[18:40] <LoJuRu> !bye | kenaj
[18:40] <vjj2000> lojuru not completely but it has been some time
[18:40] <LoJuRu> vjj2000, Welcome back! Can I recommend http://linuxcommand.org/ to help you refresh yourself?
[18:41] <vjj2000> lojuru thx
[18:41] <LoJuRu> vjj2000, Always a pleasure! =)
[18:41] <henry276> jackstoner: what files am i supposed to move to the other directory?
[18:41] <JackStoner> henry276: just a min
[18:41] <Justone> anyone know the key combo to exit full screen game mode with wine?
[18:41] <JackStoner> henry276: which guide are you using?? the 1st or 2nd?
[18:41] <valheru> anyone have any ideas? I just dont understand why grub wont go away , the Win7 startup repair should wipe it out completely
[18:42] <LoJuRu> Justone, /j #wine
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Justone: i'd ask in #winehq too
[18:42] <LoJuRu> Winehq, my bad
[18:42] <Justone> ok... ty
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Justone: could use ctrl+alt+t
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Justone: loading a terminal may give it a kick
[18:43] <Justone> ActionParsnip: tried... but locked it up :(
[18:43] <gol10dr> Upgraded my server to 10.10 and update/upgrade yields no updates but reboot gives me 311 packages and reboot required.  Ideas?
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Justone: or alt+tab
[18:43] <enav> where is the xorg.conf file
[18:43] <henry276> jackstoner: the first one
[18:43] <Justone> ActionParsnip: alt+tab does nothin.
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> enav: /etc/X11
[18:44] <enav> thanks
[18:44] <MrKeuner> hello, in which configuration file should one specify the environment variables for them to be recognized withing GNOME applications? Eclipse fails to recognize the export line specified in ~/.profile, for instance
[18:44] <elb0w> llutz, So I have tried all possible Xorg options to allow DFP. I booted into run level 3 and installed nvidia drivers as well. All to no prevail. Lastly I have installed a analog card also resulting in monitor going to power saving mode after post. Any ideas what else it could be?
[18:44] <rodemires> when i try to use tvtime it comes up blank, when i do 'tvtime-scanner', it returns: Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml, No tuner found on input 0.  If you have a tuner, please
[18:44] <rodemires>     select a different input using --input=<num>.
[18:44] <llutz> elb0w: not really, sorry
[18:44] <JackStoner> henry276: use the 2nd one its a bit more straightforward
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> enav: one doesn't exist by default but if you make one it will be obeyed
[18:45] <trism> tado: no, I understand that, my point was originally there was no way to disable the icon, but it seems there is a key in gconf now, I am testing it, one moment
[18:45] <enav> ActionParsnip: i want to force my 2 video card works together
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> enav: you can make a skeleton file in root recovery mode and run: Xorg --configure
[18:46] <JackStoner> henry276: basically you have to remove the folders specified...then reboot
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> enav: if they are nvidia based then nvidia-settings can make them work nice
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> !dualhead | enav
[18:46] <enav> ActionParsnip: 1 nvidia and 1 ati    and 3 displays
[18:46] <tado> trism: alright
[18:46] <sensisensi> hi. i have an old crappy laptop with ubuntu 9 that i want to tether my android phone for mobile broadband.but the app on phone says i need ubuntu 10.4.i think that is too much for this laptop, as ubuntu 9 doesnt run very fast.if the phone app says i need ubuntu 10.4, will lubuntu work just the same or do i need ubuntu for this thing?its called easythether.
[18:47] <semk0> hi guys
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> enav: yikes, you'll need xorg.conf then
[18:47] <semk0> i have upgraded to meerkat but my old ppa's are disabled
[18:47] <semk0> is it normal?
[18:47] <JackStoner> henry276: do this: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[18:47] <gol10dr> Any ideas what would cause a reboot required to keep popping up?
[18:47] <Gnea> semk0: yes
[18:47] <JackStoner> then reboot
[18:47] <enav> ActionParsnip: do you thinks is possible what i want to do'
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> sensisensi: the minimum reuirements are the same so you can run lucid
[18:47] <Gnea> gol10dr: new kernel installed
[18:47] <semk0> Gnea: will they be auto enabled later on?
[18:47] <JackStoner> gol10dr: if you've done an update that required a reboot
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> enav: sure, its going to take a bit of effort though
[18:48] <gol10dr> did that
[18:48] <Gnea> semk0: only if you tell them to be
[18:48] <gol10dr> Keeps popping up and shows updates
[18:48] <gol10dr> all updated
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> JackStoner: no need for force in the home folder
[18:48] <enav> ActionParsnip: point me for some forum to do this.. pleas
[18:48] <semk0> Gnea, what's the command for that?
[18:48]  * gol10dr updated from 10.04 server to 10.10
[18:48] <JackStoner> ActionParsnip: thanks... :P
[18:48] <Gnea> semk0: just enable them again in your sources
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> enav: you will just need sample xorg.conf files
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> gol10dr: why, lucid is supported longer...
[18:49] <sensisensi> ActionParsnip: sorry i wasnt clear. i mean the app on my android phone requires ubuntu 10.4.so i have to upgrade my ubuntu 9 to 10.4 but i'm wondring if the app will work just as well with lubuntu
[18:49] <semk0> Gnea, oh ok. i checked some of them in launchpad site and it appears that they exist also for meerkat
[18:49] <gol10dr> act
[18:49] <Gnea> semk0, there ya go, just edit what's there to reflect what you need
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> sensisensi: its the same OS, just a different DE
[18:49] <gol10dr> ActionParsnip: Just for testing.
[18:49] <henry276> jackstoner: tried the second one, but it wouldn't work
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> sensisensi: if you are on jaunty you will need y
[18:50] <sensisensi> ActionParsnip:k thanks!
[18:50] <semk0> Gnea, thanks mate
[18:50] <JackStoner> henry276: what do u mean wouldnt work...that happened??
[18:50] <Imants-LV> hello
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> To upgrade to karmic first, sensisensi
[18:50] <mattholimeau> heyas - sorry to repeat - looking for help with what password a printer authentication dialog box could be looking for
[18:50] <Gnea> semk0, cheers
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> mattholimeau: is the printer shared on a windows box?
[18:50] <Imants-LV> im trayngto instal ubuntu here right now
[18:50] <gol10dr> ActionParsnip: Any reason why it is showing 311 updates and a reboot prompt even after complete shutdown and restart
[18:50] <Gnea> Breetai: awesome nick
[18:50] <mattholimeau> it's shared directly on the network
[18:50] <tado> trism: do you know if there is anywhere where i can look for it? gotta leave in a minute...
[18:51] <sensisensi> ActionParsnip:i am going to format and install lubuntu on this
[18:51] <Imants-LV> i need some info
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> mattholimeau: i'd read the manual then
[18:51] <Breetai> Gnea:  Thanks, when I can't use it I go with BreetaiOfTheZentradi  which is even cooler if longer to type.
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> sensisensi: then you can jump straight to Lucid
[18:51] <mattholimeau> heh, looked there, didn't seem to be anything about use authentication
[18:51] <mattholimeau> user* authentication, rather
[18:51] <sensisensi> ActionParsnip:roger that. thanks
[18:51] <Gnea> Breetai: but that gives it away :)
[18:52] <henry276> jackstoner: nothing happened. i typed it in, got back to desktop, restarted but got the very same problem as before.. should it have changed anything else?
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> gol10dr: run the updates then is all I can suggest
[18:52] <trism> tado: unfortunately it has no schema, so it looks like ubuntu patched it out when adding the appindicator patches (and it was ignored when I added and tried it), I'll keep looking for a bit though
[18:52] <replicasex> Le sigh, I'm having to downgrade to 10.04 because of the new xorg and my nvidia driver :(
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> JackStoner: you may want to look in $HOME/.config too
[18:52] <gol10dr> ActionParsnip: did an apt-get updates and upgrade but it shows it is good.  Unsure what the deal is..
[18:52] <replicasex> Does anybody know if this xorg issue is going to be adressed soon?
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: nvidia will catch up, their support rocks
[18:53] <JackStoner> ActionParsnip: what do i need to look for?
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> JackStoner: folders relating to the users issue
[18:53] <ANNLOU> hi.  I am trying to fix some file names.  they either start with abcdef or ABCDEF i want them to be  all ABCDEF (uppercase) why didn't mv abcdef* ABCDEF* work?
[18:53] <Breetai> Up until about March of 2010 I had great performance with Ubuntu. Now after running for a few hours, the system bogs down. I have 4 gigs of RAM, swappiness is set to 10, Power management is set to performance. I don't know if it is firefox 3.6  or what. But once it happens, it does not get better, everything crawls, even if I shut down all the apps. Normally htop runs at 1% to 2%, once this happens, htop runs at 18%. Anyone have any idea what thi
[18:53] <Breetai> s could be?
[18:53] <JackStoner> ActionParsnip: can user safely remove .config folder and it being regenerated??
[18:53] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, so how would they go about fixing this problem?  should I just wait for an update?
[18:54] <ANNLOU> Breetai: are you running 64 bit?
[18:54] <tado> trism: really have to leave right now though :) i can leave the laptop on.. if you figure something out, maybe you can leave me a message in pvt? but in general, don't bother too much: i'll ask again when i have a bit more time
[18:54] <c3l> Hi, I just installed for a frien ubuntu, and she'd like to use a program that behaves more silimarily to the way windows live messenger behaves. any suggestions?
[18:54] <JackStoner> henry276: try and create a new user and log in using that account to see if the problem is system wide or otherwise
[18:54] <Sanky> Hello.  Up to now, I used two monitors by using the system > monitors settings.  Then suddenly something broke (...) and I was forced to install nvidia drivers.  Now, I can't find how to make it properly support multiple monitors.  If I use TwinView, it just makes everything into one big monitor, which is stupid as there's a hole I can't see.
[18:54] <Gnea> Breetai, not sure that htop is the better program to run, I would check it out with the top program and see what's chewing up resources the most
[18:54] <JackStoner> c3l: emesene
[18:54] <nooo> Has anybody here used remastersys?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> c3l: amsn
[18:55] <Breetai> ANNLOU: no, but I have tried 64 bit and it did not help
[18:55] <c3l> JackStoner: ActionParsnip: does webcam work?
[18:55] <kn_> Any Grub experts here?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: hang fire and wait, you could just use the open driver til it gets fixed if you don't need 3D
[18:55] <Imants-LV> so i now in allocate drive space window and cant continue install i got this error (No root file system is defined) can some wan explain me what i need to do?
[18:55] <ANNLOU> Breetai: there are issues on 64 bit systems.  are you any good with the mv command?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> ANNLOU: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=704347
[18:55] <trism> tado: yes, just ask again when you get back, I'm just looking because people ask this question often, so I'd like to know if it is possible as well
[18:55] <JackStoner> c3l: it should i suppose...
[18:56] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, any idea of how fast it'll come down the pipe?
[18:56] <bxf4> Hello, just installed 10.10 on MacBookPro1,1 and lost F11 and F12 as button 2 and button 3.  Anyone fixed this already?
[18:56] <tado> trism: alright. hope you will find an answer and hope to find you here next time :)
[18:56] <kn_> I have the problem that I have an encrypted LVM and upgraded to 10.10. But now my grub is screwed up and the OS won't boot any longer.
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Breetai: there are tweaks to make firefox less crappy
[18:56] <tado> trism: thanks
[18:56] <Breetai> Gnea: I prefer htop but I have run plain old top. Usually the big offender is firefox or chrome. But once it happens, and I shut down firefox, top  will flip between top, pulseaudio and X as top CPU chewers
[18:56] <Braber01> hey I just disabled the gdm on my laptop and now when ever I run startx the desktop is swiched around, and kind of looks like the desktop editon instead of netbook edtion that confused me.
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: ask nvidia, no idea
[18:56] <Breetai> ANNLOU: yes I am fine with mv
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> bxf4: is there a bug logged for it?
[18:57] <Breetai> ActionParsnip: Do they really make it that much LESS sucky? and where can I find them?
[18:57] <ANNLOU> Breetai: let me look at ActionParsnip script - not quite what I had in mind but it might work
[18:57] <Gnea> Breetai: likely it's pulseaudio, I've always disliked that program, it's never setup correctly in Ubuntu
[18:58] <SaRy> Imants-LV, you must highlight the root / ..
[18:58] <bxf4> ActionParsnip: Not sure, thought it might have just moved.
[18:58] <bxf4> ActionParsnip:  I think I know how to check.
[18:58] <FoxRythem> I just got my WUSB300N to work but now Ubuntu doesn't see it after 1 minute any suggestions on what to do?
[18:58] <Karen_m> I setup snippets in gedit, and now the custom ones I made are gone.  Is there a trick to having them stick around?
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Breetai: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/speed-up-firefox-web-browser.html
[18:58] <henry276> jackstoner: same problem
[18:58] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, it's a pretty significant annoyance, it randomly freezes up.  Going to just go back to the lts for a month or two I think.
[18:58] <Imants-LV> ok. will tray :)
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Breetai: firefox imho is rubbish, it can be made slightly better
[18:59] <Breetai> Gnea: back in the day I ran without pulseaudio and firefox 3.0. I have often wondered if it was one, the other or the combo that has been zapping me. Like I said, since about March.
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: keep your ear to the floor
[18:59] <JackStoner> henry276: then try installing wicd
[18:59] <Breetai> Gnea: I went to Lucid back in Feb and it ran great, then all of a sudden, everything started to bog down.
[18:59] <Gnea> Breetai: try disabling/removing it and see what happens
[18:59] <di3gopa> Hello everyone, i am trying to use a piece of hardware i have, its called magic touch , whenever i try to use it the program says "Warning: Can't find hiddev0 device!" if I do a lsusb i can see the device but for some reason ubuntu do not see itm thanks
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Breetai: you can also install and configure a local dns so you don't keep probing the web for dns resolution
[19:00] <henry276> jackstoner: so thanks for the help anyways.. will try so later
[19:00] <Karen_m> None of my snippets will survive an open/close of gedit :(
[19:00] <preetam> undecim r u there
[19:00] <JackStoner> henry276: no prob...hope it gets fixed
[19:00] <SaRy> Imants-LV, have you Added the partition table ..
[19:00] <Azendale> Firefox keeps giving me the "Firefox is already running, but is not responding."  error. I have run killall firefox and killall firefox-bin, which didn't work. I also tried removing .parentlock in the profile folder to no avail.
[19:00] <kn_> I have the problem that I have an encrypted LVM and upgraded to 10.10. But now my grub is screwed up and the OS won't boot any longer.
[19:01] <kn_> Any idea what to do?
[19:01] <SaRy> Azendale, Try login out ..
[19:01] <Breetai> Gnea: I have tried using both Chrome and Konqueror.
[19:01] <Azendale> Possibly related:I first noticed the error when I tried to run firefox over a 'ssh -X' connection
[19:02] <Azendale> SaRy: I already tried restarting too
[19:02] <FoxRythem> ndiswrapper isnt responding anymore any help to get it working again?
[19:02] <Gnea> Breetai: right, but it doesn't matter when you've got this sticky piece of pulseaudio between them and your soundcard. if your soundcard already has a perfectly working driver, why do you need pulseaudio?
[19:02] <seyacat> how can i use command output as operator echo "1" | $((1+2)) not works
[19:02] <SaRy> Azendale, Killall -9 firefox
[19:03] <Azendale> I also tried making a different profile, but that one didn't work
[19:03] <Breetai> Gnea: Becuase Ubuntu will keep installing and enableing pulese audio, it is like some sort of fetish.
[19:03] <Sanky> "Dual X servers" + Xinerama is /pretty/ good, except that it treats my top monitor as the primary monitor and I want it the other way around.  And Redshift only works for the top one, again.
[19:03] <Gnea> Breetai:yeah, but it's fixable
[19:04] <Breetai> Gnea: it could be flash.
[19:04] <Azendale> SaRy: Just tried that, and run it with sudo too, and it didn't work
[19:04] <cfairles> seyacat, operator? or operand? you want to say, add 2 to the output of a command? or change the operator (+,-,* etc.)
[19:04] <Gnea> Breetai: which requires sound
[19:04] <Breetai> Gnea: And I ususally start with a Xubuntu install, and until maveric I could do that without pulseaudio being on board by default.
[19:05] <SaRy> Azendale, under your profile .. did you remove files “lock” and “.parentlock”.
[19:05] <seyacat> cfairles: i need some like that   echo "1" |  COMMAND (OUTPUT1 + 1)     2
[19:06] <seyacat> cfairles: yes add 2 to the output of command
[19:06] <SaRy> Azendale, Find your profile , it will be at ~/.mozilla/firefox/[Profile name]/ .
[19:06] <Azendale> SaRy:I tried removing '.parentlock' I didn't see any lock. Are the question marks some shell syntax to select more than on file?
[19:06] <replicasex> at least installs are quick :(  sadface
[19:07] <anon33_> is there an easy way to list all user-installed packages with apt-get?

[19:08] <SaRy> Azendale, am not sure ..
[19:10] <ari5av> hi, I'm having a memory lapse.  what's the ubuntu package that gives you all the basic required development tools?  gcc, make, etc?
[19:10] <Azendale> SaRy: If I moved the settings folders for mozzila in the home folder to a different name, would firefox try to make new ones?

[19:10] <emptystr> Hello
[19:10] <ari5av> ActionParsnip: right that's it, thanks :)

[19:13] <ActionParsnip> MrKeuner: add in in $HOME/.bashrc
[19:13] <Sanky> Thanks, I guess..  :|
[19:13] <seyacat> cfairles: i need some like  echo 1 | echo $(lastOuptu) +2 | bc
[19:13] <MrKeuner> ActionParsnip, would that work for both shell and gnome at the same time?
[19:14] <seyacat> cfairles: get the last output as openrad
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> MrKeuner: worth a try,you can always take it out

[19:15] <AHemlocksLie> I'm getting some errors compiling ndiswrapper to get my wireless card working. I'm guessing it's a functional release, though, so I'm guessing the problem's on my end. Is there anything that might cause compiling problems?

I've confirmed tomcat and apache are both working independently, so the problem must be the mod_jk configuration.  I don't know where to go from here?

[19:22] <coolsan> how can i boot in single user mode
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> coolsan: add text to the boot options in /etc/default/grub then run: sudo update-grub
[19:23] <Pici> napster: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> coolsan: the extra boot option is: text ,just to clarify
[19:23] <SaRy> Azendale, You may have to kill different processes.
[19:23] <Pici> napster: Short answer is (probably): sudo fc-cache -f -v
[19:24] <napster> Pici: Thanks :-)
[19:24] <Boeboe> what are the most performant nvidia drivers? The open source ones or the official binaries?
[19:24] <Azendale> SaRy: I did the pgrep firefox and got nothing, so doesn't that mean there's no firefox running?
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Boeboe: the proprietary imho, they don't work with maverick yet
[19:24] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, btw, how would I switch to the open source driver (nvidia) and what kinds of performance hits would I take?
[19:25] <AHemlocksLie> if I'm getting "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found", how can I fix this?
[19:25] <the_dark_warrio> After upgrading from Lucid, my gnome-terminal opens in root folder. Any hints on how I can make it open in my home folder again?
[19:25] <Boeboe> Action: I am running them with maveric right now :x
[19:25] <SaRy> Azendale, it sure does .. but are you sure !
[19:25] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: did you install ndiswrapper, and modprobe it?
[19:25] <nebri> Boeboe: I'm currently using the official binary versions, I can directly compare them with the windows version in terms of performance.
[19:25] <AHemlocksLie> km0201: I used sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: the open driver isn't too shabby. You can blacklist the driver orif you use xorg.conf then specify the driver as nouveau instead of nvidia
[19:25] <jg47hm> ActionParsnip: this command (chmod +x $HOME/.Desktop/filename) doesn't work. how to go to the location download in command line (using something like cd :/ downloads)???
[19:26] <AHemlocksLie> km0201: I was gonna try to compile ndiswrapper, but it was compiling wrong, and I asked about it, so someone said to use ndisgtk
[19:26] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: ok...
[19:26] <KM0201> you still have to modprobe it, to my knowledge
[19:26] <Boeboe> yeah, but I'm not concerned with the windows version. Just want to know what driver gets the best performance in linux :)
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> jg47hm: you said it was on the desktop. I also told you to change the filename part of the command to what the actual file is named
[19:26] <AHemlocksLie> km0201: modprobe ndiswrapper gives same error
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Boeboe: proprietary imho
[19:27] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, do you know how I can tell if I'm using xorg?  I assume I am, but I dunno.  Also, any explicit instructions on how to edit it?  I'll google it too
[19:27] <flypp> hi, could someone test if libnotify is working on lucid?. I'm trying "notify-send <some stuff>" and nothing happens
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> !ndiswrapper | AHemlocksLie
[19:27] <AHemlocksLie> km0201: from what I can piece together, I'm assuming when I Try to load my windows drivers, it runs modprobe ndiswrapper and gives the error, but that's just a newb guess
[19:27] <nebri> Boeboe: proprietary as well imho. Never had any issues with them.
[19:27] <Boeboe> good, sticking with those then, thanks :)
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: if you have a mousepointer and a desktop, you are using xorg
[19:27] <jg47hm> ActionParsnip: yes it is in download too.. The file name is Setup.exe
[19:27] <Azendale> SaRy: I also run sudo pgrep firefox  and it still gave no answer.
[19:28] <AHemlocksLie> actionparsnip: bonus of having to use my tethered phone? I can't visit https sites, including all the ubuntu docs -_-
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> jg47hm: same commandjust change the file
[19:28] <lunks> Hello! :) I have a Windows VM inside my Ubuntu host using Virtualbox. Virtualbox can handle serial port virtualization/emulation. Is it possible for me to establish a connection to SSH on Cygwin inside the Linux machine? Via TCP it already works.
[19:28] <SaRy> Azendale, Try .. ps aux |grep fire
[19:28] <lunks> ...of course, using a emulated serial port!
[19:28] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: whats your wireless device anyway?

[19:29] <AHemlocksLie> km0201: I already have the drivers, and I foudn a guide saying that it should work, I just gotta get ndiswrapper to function first
[19:29] <Azendale> SaRy: I get "teachers  2665  0.0  0.1   3324   792 pts/0    S+   14:28   0:00 grep fire"

[19:30] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: what is the link to the tutorial you used?
[19:30] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 if that's what you call the ones you insert in the sides of laptops, yeah
[19:30] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 oh god, lemme see if I can track it down again... I copied everything into a .txt file
[19:30] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 actually, I'll just pastebin it

[19:31] <jimbobjim> hi everyone
[19:31] <panis> hi
[19:31] <jimbobjim> can someone tell me if its possible to install ubuntu FROM an external hdd
[19:31] <Pici> jg47hm: Desktop is typically not .Desktop.
[19:32] <jimbobjim> there are plenty of intructions to install it TO a hdd, but not FROM
[19:32] <Pici> jg47hm: Just: ~/Desktop/Setup.exe
[19:32] <panis> is there a chance to get filetransfer working in empathy?
[19:32] <adrian_kx> wel ill try ubuntu ro
[19:32] <adrian_kx> since none of u know anything
[19:32] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 http://pastebin.com/ANRe8yRW it's pretty old, but I figure that just means it should work as well or better with the newer Ubuntu
[19:32] <Guest12379> after setting kernel into nomodeset mode its not working what i do
[19:33] <AHemlocksLie> km0201: I've been piecing together information from a lot of places, but that's the gist of what I'm doing, using ndiswrapper to load the XP drivers
[19:33] <AHemlocksLie> km0201: it sounds like it should work... if I can just get fucking ndiswrapper to work
[19:34] <Pici> AHemlocksLie: Please mind your language here.
[19:34] <nebri> jimbobjim: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick will allow you to install from a USB thumbdrive if you can't install from a cdrom/dvd.
[19:34] <replicasex> Do you guys think that the whole nvidia/xorg kerfuffle could be avoided if I stopped using special effects?
[19:34] <AHemlocksLie> pici: sorry... I'm starting to get really frustrated with this, been trying to fix ndiswrapper for like 2 or 3 days now
[19:35] <nooo> How can I move the close/min/max buttons to the right (Windows style) of windows?
[19:35] <Armageddon> is there an application that hides KDE applications in gnome and vice versa ?
[19:35] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: can you get PM's?
[19:35] <SaRy> Azendale, so you didn't get a line like "sary      1997  0.0  0.0   1900   428 ?        S    15:26   0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.10/firefox

[19:36] <KM0201> thought you said you were on a phone or something.
[19:36] <filospinato> c'è qualcuno che parala italiano?
[19:36] <Pici> !it | filospinato
[19:36] <SaRy> Wow
[19:36] <nilla> Hey guys, how is it going?
[19:36] <nebri> Armageddon: In gnome you can right click on your applications menu, then enter the menu editor. Beside each entry you can place a check mark to hide/unhide applications from the menu without deleting them if that’s what your after? Don't know about KDE though as I don't use KDE myself.
[19:36] <SaRy> Azendale, then it'snot running.
[19:37] <nilla> I installed the Unity interface in 10.04 NB
[19:37] <filospinato> emmm io non parlo inglese che volemo fà?
[19:37] <nilla> I was wondering, would that allow the Unity interface to work exactly as it does in 10.10?
[19:37] <Azendale> SaRy: I tried moving the .mozzila folder and then running firefox again, and it made a new .mozilla and profile. However, it still get the same error!
[19:38] <Armageddon> nebri, I use Gnome as well and have been for almost 3 years now, but you know KDE applications all over the place into each other is not organized so I'm looking to show KDE apps in KDE and Gnome in Gnome, I found this http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/01/13/ubuntu-to-kubuntu-keeping-the-menus-clean/ but it seems that if I install applications they won't get organized
[19:38] <Chaos2358> whats the terminal command to remove un needed stuff?
[19:38] <SaRy> Azendale, so it's not about the  user profile.
[19:38] <Chaos2358> i thought it was sudo apt-get auto remove
[19:38] <Armageddon> Chaos2358, what do you mean by un-needed stuff ?
[19:38] <durt> Chaos2358, autoremove
[19:39] <Chaos2358> no space?
[19:39] <Armageddon> Chaos2358, sudo apt-get autoremove you mean ?
[19:39] <Armageddon> yes no space
[19:39] <durt> yup
[19:39] <Chaos2358> ok it's just been a rough day brain isnt working right
[19:39] <Chaos2358> thank you guys
[19:39] <durt> Chaos2358, also see the man page for much more info, recommended.
[19:39] <SaRy> Azendale, am looking at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/24555/
[19:40] <nebri> Armageddon: Ah sorry, that's the best I had for ya in terms of KDE/GNOME applications. Not sure what else to try/do :(.
[19:40] <Armageddon> nebri, me neither... thanks anyway :)

[19:50] <erUSUL> AnxiousNut: no problem
[19:50] <isw> glithcd: ahh yea I did... was just testing the irc waves to see if anyone knew how to restore the original download icon

[19:51] <glithcd> isw, maybe check the emblems section in properties?

[20:01] <IdleOne> elb0w: yes, you might need to change LTS releases only to Normal Releases in the Software Sources
[20:02] <azkorl> And if yes, what can a flash exploit do on my linux box.
[20:03] <van7hu> kukibird1 : Problem solved."indicator applet session" is what I need

[20:11] <ganeshran> hi which is the best IDE for ubuntu
[20:11] <wal3> hello. my syslog is been flooded with: kernel: [ 2022.278562] gspca: URB error -62, resubmitting
[20:11] <SaRy> glithcd, guess what .. i can't tell ya !
[20:11] <ganeshran> for doing HTML, Javascript, php coding
[20:11] <glithcd> SaRy, well thankyou for you effort
[20:11] <durt> lenzy, there's a click box in preferences>>pointing devices
[20:11] <glithcd> SaRy, its well appreciated =)
[20:11] <undecim> ganeshran: Have you tried KompoZer?
[20:11] <SaRy> glithcd, got it for you ..
[20:11] <glithcd> SaRy, any clue where else i could find my answer?
[20:12] <glithcd> SaRy, listening..
[20:12] <enema> glithcd, i think i can help you.
[20:12] <arky> re Ubuntu vs FreeBSD for a newbie: if I install GNome on FreeBSD and have some support, should I be able to operate FreeBSD as well as Ubuntu? Free BSD seems like a better system, but harder for a newbie to use.
[20:12] <glithcd> enema, listening..
[20:12] <lenzy> durt: i cant find it
[20:12] <enema> ok, i have this blog site where i do tutorials about stuff like this.
[20:12] <ganeshran> undecim: nope. is it good? I tried emacs but its too CLI based for me
[20:12] <SaRy> glithcd, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Elegant-Brit.ton?content=104804
[20:12] <lenzy> do i have to install something?
[20:12] <syslq_> arky: it's even more obscure that's all
[20:12] <ganeshran> undecim: looking for a more GUI based IDE
[20:13] <enema> want to check it out?
[20:13] <undecim> ganeshran: It's alright, I never really use and IDE for web development, just Vim, which is a CLI text editor.
[20:13] <glithcd> SaRy,  i will give that a try
[20:13] <arky> syslq: you mean not many users, but a good OS?
[20:13] <durt> lenzy, ya maybe, can't remember the package name but should be in synaptic.
[20:13] <glithcd> SaRy,  thank you very much
[20:13] <SaRy> O' wait .. thats for the Gnome screensaver right !
[20:13] <enema> ok
[20:13] <glithcd> enema, u were saying??
[20:13] <enema> http://www.tinyurl.com/2snvvs
[20:13] <ganeshran> undecim: I like my colour coding and auto formatting. blame it on my Visual studio experience :)
[20:13] <SaRy> glithcd, you're welcome :)
[20:14] <glithcd> enema, was that directed to me?
[20:14] <ganeshran> undecim: Is eclipse good to be used for php/html and JS coding?
[20:14] <wal3> hello. my syslog is been flooded with: kernel: [ 2022.278562] gspca: URB error -62, resubmitting
[20:14] <undecim> ganeshran: Try kompozer then and see how you like
[20:14] <lenzy> synaptic is already installed
[20:14] <undecim> ganeshran: Never used eclipse
[20:14] <ganeshran> undecim: ok i will install it. Thanks.
[20:14] <durt> lenzy, heh, synaptic package manager, and maybe software center.
[20:15] <ganeshran> i am running LiveAndroid on virtualBox with Android as guest and Ubuntu as Host OS. But I am not able to connect to the internet.
[20:15] <ganeshran> insite guest od
[20:15] <ganeshran> os
[20:15] <lenzy> xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is installed
[20:15] <arky> What's your opinion on Ubuntu vs FreeBSD for newbies?
[20:16] <ct529> hi everybody .... how do you compare two binary files to see how different they are?
[20:16] <lenzy> there's only horizontal scrolling in preferences
[20:16] <ct529> (20%different, or 30 different or ....)
[20:16] <berefeira> ! hellos
[20:16] <trism> ct529: vbindiff is pretty good for that (if you actually want to see the hex and where they differ)
[20:16] <AHemlocksLie> I'm having some problems with ndiswrapper, anyone know how to fix a FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found error from modprobe or ndisgtk?
[20:17] <SaRy> glithcd, may wan download this tutorial .. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6786897/ubuntu_customization.tar.gz
[20:17] <durt> lenzy, not talking about synaptics, but rather synaptic package manager. the settings window is called gpointing device settings, but again I can't remember the package name.
[20:17] <berefeira> is anyone else having trouble connecting to irc via ipv6? I'm using miredo
[20:17] <ct529> trism: thanks a lot!
[20:18] <lenzy> okay, thanks
[20:18] <Odin_Eidolon> durt, i'm having trouble installing ubuntu 10.10 on my samsung nc10. ubiquity crashes because of "parted_server unexpectedly closed"...
[20:18] <Odin_Eidolon> do you have any idea about it?
[20:18] <glithcd> SaRy, i believe that is only a lock screen
[20:19] <glithcd> SaRy, i dont know if there is a difference between the login screen nd that but i think there is..
[20:19] <ganeshran> Is Kompozer in the package manager?
[20:19] <ganeshran> It says package not found
[20:19] <KM0201> !info kompozer
[20:19] <durt> Odin_Eidolon, sry no, but there is a thread on ubforums about it, just google.
[20:19] <jimcooncat> arky: Ubuntu has better community support for new people.
[20:20] <Guest30845> hi
[20:20] <liquidmeson> @KM0201 in the software center kompozer shows up
[20:20] <KM0201> liquidmeson: ok, so install it
[20:20] <ct529> trism: it works, but I would like to measure how different they are
[20:20] <arky> jimcooncat: thanks. Are you conversant with both OS's?
[20:21] <Guest30845> hey guys can i installe IE in ubuntu bcuase i hav web sit with asp lang
[20:21] <durt> Odin_Eidolon, google the error message that is.
[20:21] <intrader> I have a usb drive,I deleted autorun.inf. Now I have a problem with context menu;perhaps not related. The context menu does no longer pop up (to allow me to unmount the drive)
[20:21] <undecim> Guest30845: You can try IE4Linux
[20:21] <liquidmeson> @KM0201 yep it installs and works fine.
[20:21] <undecim> Guest30845: Otherwise you need to run Windows in VirtualBox
[20:21] <ganeshran> Guest30845: Why do you need IE for ASP code. As long as your supports it, it will run
[20:21] <Guest30845> undecim it dosn't work
[20:22] <ct529> trism: do you know if there is a tool to do that, that measures how many bytes are actually different?
[20:22] <KM0201> liquidmeson: i guess i don't understand what the other gus problem was
[20:22] <ganeshran> AS long as your server supports it
[20:22] <Guest30845> aspx its for microsoft
[20:22] <Guest30845> i can writ in my forum
[20:22] <Guest30845> i can't
[20:23] <kostas> hello do you know any channel to ask a question for trixbox?
[20:23] <kostas> or asterisk general
[20:23] <Guest30845> the solution is to run winxp on VirBox
[20:23] <jMyles> Awful question to have to ask: Can I create a bootable windows disk on a USB flash drive from Ubuntu?
[20:23] <ganeshran> Guest30845: aspx pages will open perfectly in Firefox /chrome. If you are looking for development testing, then try any linux servers that can serve ASP.NET pages. I doubt if there are any
[20:23] <durt> kostas, searchirc.com
[20:23] <undecim> Guest30845: asp is server-side code. It doesn't matter what browser you're using.
[20:24] <ganeshran> Guest30845: I dont see the need for IE in your problem at all.
[20:24] <nertil> how is possible my camera isnt recognized by lsusb
[20:24] <c3l> http://audacious-media-player.org/.
[20:25] <VeasMKII> Can someone point me in the right direction for fixing my media in ubuntu, it keeps showing green flickering artifacts after upgrading from 10.04
[20:25] <Guest30845> nop ther is problem wen i want to Write in my forum i can't
[20:25] <liquidmeson> nertil, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras is it on there?
[20:26] <nertil> no i think
[20:26] <nertil> i think it is plug and play camera without drivers, on windows i just pluged without drivers
[20:26] <ganeshran> Guest30845: See this link. You can setup apache to serve aspx pages and test in Firefox/chrome. Development you can do with any text editor. http://www.ivankristianto.com/software-development/mono/howto-run-asp-net-on-linux-with-apache-web-server-mono-mod_mono/760/
[20:26] <undecim> Guest30845: Well that's a problem with your server or your ASP code, not your browser
[20:26] <jimcooncat> arky, no, I've looked at FreeBSD, but after chatting with them I concluded I'd need more handholding than what they were willing to give at the time. I'm not a noob to computing, either -- just BSD
[20:26] <scampbell> anyone having luck getting the latest WoW running under 10.04 or 10.10?
[20:26] <l_r> how fast is 10.10 (boot/use) compared to 10.04 on the same machines in your experience
[20:27] <erUSUL> !appdb | scampbell
[20:27] <smallfoot-> scampbell, try #winehq
[20:27] <scampbell> yeah, I know, just thought I'd ask. Looks like a total fail :(
[20:27] <Guest30845> hmmm thx guys
[20:27] <Benkinooby> does some1 know a powerfull pdf-viewer like okular? i love okular but it has too many dependencies for my taste and evince lacks of many functions.
[20:27] <ganeshran> Guest30845: I think its a problem of code specifically written for IE which isnt working in other browsers. Not sure if IE can be installed through WINE. But you are better of, using windows in that case
[20:27] <liquidmeson> l_r, bout the same :/ looks nicer tho
[20:28] <Guest30845> ganeshran yes
[20:28] <l_r> liquidmeson, nicer in what sense?
[20:28] <trism> ct529: not off the top of my head, would be pretty simple to write in a couple lines of python for a naive implementation that doesn't consider insertions or deletions, only changes, depends what you want
[20:28] <Guest30845> it is
[20:28] <arky> jimcooncat: thanks
[20:28] <aartist>   I have portable harddisk. Can I install Ubuntu on it?

[20:41] <liquidmeson> wxz, it might be rebuilding the list..
[20:41] <WXZ> so.. just wait a while?
[20:41] <liquidmeson> wxz, give it a minute or so then i'm not sure

[20:45] <tasaduq> Hi everyone, I have a problem installing windows applications via wine software, any help?
[20:45] <WXZ> that's what I'm using coz_
[20:45] <FullThrottelStop> THe soundcard do not show in any mixer program. One thing I was able to do was disable the onboard sound in the bios and t hen it showed the Radeon sound device in the mixer but still no hearable output was produced.
[20:45] <WXZ> but right now, with the programs I've installed
[20:45] <WXZ> I'm at about 1.5 gigs

[20:46] <sjokkis> hi. i took out some drives from my stationary today, leaving just the system drive. now when it boots up it shows the splash screen, with progress bar and all that, and once the splash screen disappears i'm left with a blinking cursor in the top left corner, and nothing further happens, even though i've waited for ~20 minutes. i can't switch to any other TTYs, so i'm not sure how to get any information on what the problem is. any takers?
[20:46] <BluesKaj> FullThrottelStop, make sure  alsa-base and alsa-utils are installed
[20:46] <nertil> in windows yes
[20:46] <tasaduq> Hello, anyone to help me?

[20:46] <sporkboy> okay. updated to 10.10, boot hung on blank screen after some messages, can only get it going in failsafeX from recovery. I'm looking at xorg-pushers ppa for newer nvidia drivers. anybody have any reasons not to do that or better ideas?
[20:46] <WXZ> firefox, openoffice-calc, openoffice-writer, xorg, gnome-core (none of which have recommends)
[20:46] <nertil> glithcd,  no drivers :)
[20:46] <WXZ> that's about 2 gigs
[20:47] <coz_> WXZ,  are you haveing hard drive storage issues
[20:47] <glithcd> ummmmmmmm
[20:47] <ChogyDan> sporkboy: what does dkms status say?
[20:47] <WXZ> coz_: I'm tesing it on a 4 gig system
[20:47] <erUSUL> FullThrottelStop: sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
[20:47] <tasaduq> hello?
[20:47] <WXZ> trying to get the actual "system" as low as possible
[20:47] <glithcd> nertil, im lost, search it on google, the compatibility of your webcam/mic and linux?
[20:47] <liquidmeson> wxz, could try lubuntu
[20:47] <c3l> how do I get audacious to look as it looks on its site (http://audacious-media-player.org/)? I cant find that skin
[20:48] <nertil> glithcd,  wait im giving u picture of webcam

[20:48] <glithcd> nertil, brb
[20:48] <WXZ> coz_: gnome-core
[20:48] <coz_> WXZ,  I would  assume the lubuntu or xubuntu  would be the smallest install
[20:48] <WXZ> I'll try lubuntu
[20:48] <coz_> WXZ,  yeah  just dont choose anything to install from the minimal
[20:48] <ChogyDan> sporkboy: interesting.  You have all 3 installed.  Why?
[20:49] <WXZ> oh, I didn't
[20:49] <mikeru>  Huge problema.
[20:49] <WXZ> you mean the "extra features" thing
[20:49] <sporkboy> ChogyDan, bc I was switching around seeing if any of them worked.
[20:49] <coz_> WXZ,  the lubuntu is the lxde desktop...based on gtk like gnome but still very very young
[20:49] <mikeru> I installed maverick on a friends machine
[20:49] <Naso> bulgari ima li ?

[20:50] <rypervenche> The ibus-daemon on my top panel stops working after I use my laptop for a while. I upgraded to Maverick recently. It won't let me turn it off or restart it when it's like that either. Is there a solution for this?
[20:50] <WXZ> that's bad coz_
[20:50] <tasaduq> coz, I can't run windows applications via wine, the .exe files won't execute. and sorry.
[20:50] <mikeru> I accidentally clicked Use entire hard drive or whatever the optioon was called
[20:50] <coz_> WXZ,  oh?  what do you need?
[20:50] <hxcjonnysniper> no wired network. need help.
[20:50] <VCoolio> !bg | Naso
[20:50] <mikeru> Then I clicked divide hard drive or whatever that was called to bring it back to ubu tu plus windows
[20:50] <WXZ> file-browser-applet, tomboy, notification area, system tray
[20:50] <llutz> kevin_: that one needs visualbasic runtime environment
[20:50] <sporkboy> ChogyDan, just says it can't load GLX. (googling that led me to xorg-pushers ppa) want the exact error?
[20:50] <alexis_> alguien habla español?
[20:50] <rusivi> !wine | kevin_
[20:50] <AHemlocksLie> I'm trying to get ndiswrapper working, and I think I'm getting conflict from prism54. When I run ndiswrapper -l, under driver installed, it says "device (1260:3890) present (alternate driver: prism54)", which I assume to mean prism54 is already loaded DESPITE BEING BLACKLISTED ALREADY, and sudo modprobe -r prism54 doesn't change anything. Anyone have any suggestions?
[20:50] <guntbert> !bg | Naso
[20:50] <coz_> WXZ, you can install those  later
[20:50] <rusivi> !spanish |alexis _
[20:50] <ChogyDan> sporkboy: use pastebin
[20:50] <mikeru> But I clicked install and it used the whole hard drive nevertheless
[20:51] <kevin_> llutz, do you know the specific winetricks command for it?
[20:51] <WXZ> oh, so I *can* install the apps
[20:51] <llutz> kevin_: no
[20:51] <WXZ> it just doesn't come with it
[20:51] <mikeru> Im sure it is a bug on the installation
[20:51] <Naso> bulgari?
[20:51] <alexis_> donde escribo eso?
[20:51] <WXZ> is that what you meant?
[20:51] <mikeru> But anyway how can I recover the lost partition and files?
[20:51] <lasindi> Hi all, I just upgraded to 10.10, but my mic isn't working anymore. I've been putting all the controls in alsamixer up to 100 but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
[20:51] <coz_> WXZ,  as I said I am not sure  what comes with lxde  /  lubuntu  you will have to check online for that
[20:51] <kevin_> llutz, ok, thank you though
[20:51] <tasaduq> mikeru, its almost impossible to recover them.
[20:51] <erUSUL> mikeru: testdisk can recover partition tables.

[20:57] <WXZ> you're running from a live CD now right?
[20:57] <AHemlocksLie> anyone familiar with ndiswrapper, does (alternate driver: prism54) mean it's using the prism54 module?

[20:58] <cmyrland> Hi all. I'm having trouble with my Acer Aspire 3810T laptop. When I want to resume from suspend it reboots, hence making suspend useless. I've tried following the instructions over at the ubuntuwiki, but the only result I got was losing the ability to suspend/hibernate completely. This is the command that was supposed to make it work: sudo sed -i.orig -e 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=\"/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=\"i8042.reset=1 /g' /etc/default/grub &&
[20:58] <cmyrland> sudo update-grub

[21:17] <izinucs> genie: look in synaptic package manager and the list of repositories in there.. deactivate that repo
[21:17] <duncan-nz> genie: that's not so unusual, it's often just temporary or a network problem. check your connection and try again later.

[21:18] <duncan-nz> genie: actually I agree with izinucs. I hadn't noticed it was a custom repo. Usually a good idea to disable them when upgrading releases.

[21:27] <Kyle__> KenBW2: Open source drivers, for 2d, all are good.  For 3d, Intel > ATI > NVidia.
[21:27] <duncan-nz> grahamperrin: I can log into my pc from the remote desktop, so it does work.
[21:27] <Kyle__> KenBW2: That said, the closed source Nvidia drivers are really good.
[21:28] <Firartix> hey thair, willing to know if you can help me :P
[21:28] <duncan-nz> grahamperrin: I mean log in when there is no-one logged into a session yet.
[21:28] <Firartix> i kind of have a inter-os clock issue :(
[21:28] <siddhion> liquidmeson, i have extracted the files nwo where do I place them?
[21:28] <KenBW2> Kyle__: Indeed, I have NVidia atm but am thinking for the future

[21:28] <ChogyDan> ganeshran: it does the task, which includes php

[21:29] <Firartix> modifying the time in the top screen bar changes it in the BIOS right ?

[21:29] <xbonesx> anyone know how to take the music from a video and turn into a mp3?
[21:29] <Kyle__> KenBW2: Once in awhile I do run into a bug with the open-source nvidia drivers, but thats when doing things like virtualizing a windows7 desktop, and running a jaba based screen sharing app from within the windows VM.  The closed source drivers fixed that issue.
[21:29] <Kyle__> KenBW2: but like I said it's a really far out there issue :)
[21:29] <__cool__> hm, people, why don't in evolution the triangles work any more? cannot unfold to see the subfolders... googling didn't find me something relevant...
[21:29] <liquidmeson> siddhion, shouldn't need to extract the file
[21:30] <liquidmeson> open a terminal and type: sudo dpkg -i locationto.deb
[21:30] <KenBW2> Kyle__: so why Intel > ATI > NVidia?
[21:30] <kpoman> anyone
[21:30] <liquidmeson> siddhion, open a terminal and type: sudo dpkg -i locationto.deb it should now be installed
[21:30] <maxigas> I am upgrading from 10.4 to 10.10, but I have the default full disk encryption that the installer (of 10.2) have set up.  Should I be worried about this bug then?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/512640/
[21:30] <siddhion> liquidmeson, so were do I put the 'light-themes_0.1.8_all.deb'
[21:30] <liquidmeson> siddhion, the .deb file is like an exe file in windows
[21:31] <liquidmeson> siddhion, once it is installed you can delete the .deb file
[21:31] <Firartix> so uh ... you guys got any clue about my clock issue stuff :s ?
[21:31] <Kyle__> KenBW2: Intel releases open source drivers more often IMO, and they are generally more stable.  When the ATI open source drivers are good, they're great, but I have had stability issues with them.
[21:31] <Kyle__> And the open-source nvidia drivers are really poor on 3d.
[21:31] <glithcd> hmm all of a sudden i have 2 universal access preferences icons on my top panel, how can i get rid of them?
[21:32] <rypervenche> My sound stopped working. It is now affecting a lot of my applications. I'm on Maverick and when I click on the sound icon (which has --- next to it) it shows no options. How can I fix this without having to restart? It's not the first time it's happened.

[21:32] <duglas> For years I have been visiting this site (http://www.smh.com.au) now for some unknown reason I am being redirected to this site (m.smh.com.au) ... same content just different formatting.  Anyone got any ideas as to why?
[21:32] <steven78> salut :)
[21:32] <duglas> I am running chromium-browser
[21:32] <KenBW2> Kyle__: so why Intel > ATI > NVidia? 1024x768 on a 17" monitor is painful
[21:32] <Nolan_Hester> going next year to start my degree in computer science :)
[21:33] <haakonn> duglas:  sounds like their mobile version
[21:33] <KenBW2> Kyle__: oops
[21:33] <c3l> duglas: it thinks you're on a mobile device, hence the m. in the url.
[21:33] <siddhion> liquidmeson, hmm looks like I have a dependency problem. i need gconf2 2.28.1-2 but I only have 2.28.1
[21:33] <KenBW2> Kyle__: I've had problems with resolutions in the past. 1024x768 on a 17" monitor is painful
[21:33] <duglas> been on a desktop all the time.
[21:34] <liquidmeson> siddhion, well i guess make sure maverik is uptodate
[21:34] <Kyle__> KenBW2: 17" crt or LCD?
[21:34] <rypervenche> duglas: Yeah, I happens to me too on Chromium, but not on Firefox.
[21:34] <siddhion> liquidmeson, im in lucid
[21:34]  * Kyle__ just uses whatever is native for LCDs, but has never had problems with any res on any of those brands of cards.
[21:34] <KenBW2> Kyle__: LCD
[21:35] <Rix> why does the browser in the ubuntu live cd version not have flash plugin..and i cant install it cause it's live cd
[21:35] <Kyle__> KenBW2: What happens?
[21:35] <siddhion> liquidmeson, i did a 'sudo apt-get upgrade' right before
[21:35] <KenBW2> Kyle__: i just get 1024x768
[21:35] <KenBW2> Kyle__: although if i boot with my 19" CRT and swap the cable i can get 1152x864
[21:35] <xbonesx> can anyone tell me how i might be able to record the sound from a video into a mp3?
[21:35] <rypervenche> Rix: It's always been that way Rix. If you use a USB drive you can upgrade right to the USB drive.
[21:35] <Sayo__> sup
[21:36] <arsalan> sdsa
[21:36] <rypervenche> My sound stopped working. It is now affecting a lot of my applications. I'm on Maverick and when I click on the sound icon (which has --- next to it) it shows no options. How can I fix this without having to restart? It's not the first time it's happened.
[21:36] <Kyle__> KenBW2: Which card?  It's possible that it's not detecting the monitor properly... it can happen.
[21:36] <duglas> How do I tell chromium that it is on a desktop???
[21:36] <KenBW2> Kyle__: Nvidia...er something and my Dell MIni 9
[21:36] <Kyle__> KenBW2: THe mini9 had an nvidia card?
[21:36] <KenBW2> Kyle__: no lol
[21:37] <LWSDesigns> rypervenche some messaging clients and voip clients like zoiper tend to take over all sounds and control might be something running?
[21:37] <Rix> rypervenche thanks but how can i do that,i use usb stick but i cant install anything
[21:37] <Kyle__> KenBW2: OK I was gonna say...
[21:37] <KenBW2> Kyle__: my desktop with Nvidia card and my dell mini 9 both exhibit the problem
[21:37] <liquidmeson> siddhion, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:37] <lorph> is it possible to have rc.local start a screen session in the background on boot? everytime I reboot, I don't see the screen sessions, but when I manually run /etc/rc.local it works
[21:37] <Kyle__> KenBW2: Ah ok.  Make sure it's not on mirroring mode, and tell it to re-detect the montior.
[21:38] <Guest67852> Alright I want to put ":(){ :|:& };:" in a bash script but its not working (DONT PUT IT IN YOUR COMMAND LINE)
[21:38] <KenBW2> Kyle__: i only have the 1 monitor (atm)
[21:38] <Rix> i boot the os in live mode
[21:38] <rypervenche> duglas: Go to the bottom of the page and click on "Standard site" I think it was.
[21:38] <Guest67852> withut the quotes
[21:38] <Guest67852> but it doesnt run
[21:38] <Kyle__> KenBW2: I think it's a button that says "Detect Monitors".  I've seen bad vga cables & extention vga cables make the system unable to properly detect the monitor, and just default to 1024x768 only.
[21:39] <KenBW2> Kyle__: doesnt help
[21:39] <Kyle__> KenBW2: Also check the refresh rate.  That can screw it up as well.  Most cards can't display some resolutions at particular refresh rates.
[21:39] <Kyle__> KenBW2: Weird.
[21:39]  * Kyle__ frowns
[21:39] <LWSDesigns> #!bin/bash is at the top of the script and chmod 755 nameoffile to make it excutable
[21:39] <Rix> is it possible to install flash plugin in firefox in the live version of ubuntu placed on usb stick
[21:39] <duglas> rypervenche: thanks ... lets hope it sticks
[21:39] <ady01> guys can anyone recomend a good ubuntu domain controller/authentication server software - tried a few including webmin - any pepople have good recomendations  ?
[21:39] <KenBW2> Kyle__: yea i tried that too
[21:40] <Kyle__> KenBW2: Have you tried switching to the closed-source driver?
[21:40] <LWSDesigns> ady01 there are samba and active directory setups for mulit os networks
[21:40] <KenBW2> Kyle__: already am doing

I noticed before I rebooted that the system was acting VERY odd, dialoge boxes were white, and I couldn't open anything.. So I went to an open Nautilus window and tried to do something, and i got the message that my MAIN FILESYSTEM WAS READONLY!!! How on earth could this happen? When I rebooted, I got stuck at a shell type thing called initramfs.. and had to har
[21:47] <Avo> d reboot. I'm on a different partition now. WTF happened? Have my files been lost? How can I fix this? THANKS SO MUCH!

[21:51] <tasaduq> hello, compiz is installed on my system, can anyone tell me where to active and deactive certain functions? when I search compiz in gnome do, it does not appear, but synaptic package manager says its installed.
[21:51] <etyui> you mean this line asterisk:asterisk by correctuser:correctuser ? dugger5688
[21:51] <LWSDesigns> etyui have you added the user to the sytem with sudo adduser asterisk
[21:51] <Firartix> Mmh guys i got some kind of issue with wifi... i think it's driver related, but i'm not really sure :(
[21:52] <Firartix> i can't get to connect to my school's wi-fi under ubuntu
[21:52] <Madwill> thanks a lot, lastly would you guys recomment Maverick Meerkat ? or should a stick with lucid lynx ?
[21:52] <Firartix> it uses hidden SSID and multiple broadcasting access points
[21:52] <dugger5688> etyui: The tutorial probably means replace is you $USER:$USER where you replace $USER with whatever your user name is.
[21:52] <dwhitehead> Has anyone found a solve for the changes to Remote Desktop in 10.10? I could remote to my 10.04 just fine...
[21:52] <Firartix> it works fine on Win7 though

[21:52] <Firartix> but it just won't work on my comp
[21:53] <etyui> ok thx working now
[21:53] <tasaduq> Firartix, you will get a good reply and faster, if you sum all your problem in one line.

[21:53] <zieen> Hey I've got a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 and I can't get sensitivity/acceleration settings in mouse preferences to work.  Nothing c hanges no matter where I put the sliders.
[21:53] <dugger5688> dwhitehead: have you updated recently?
[21:53] <tasaduq> hello, compiz is installed on my system, can anyone tell me where to active and deactive certain functions? when I search compiz in gnome do, it does not appear, but synaptic package manager says its installed.
[21:53] <chris_> julian_: Purchase N Router if your WiFi card support N Wifi, maybe?
[21:53] <Firartix> excuse me <_<
[21:53] <Firartix> soo well let me' sum it up
[21:54] <Sayo__> hey, wxz, I'm on a USB live stick, and as per the guide i  ran mount | tail -l, the address it pointed me to was sdb5, but I think that's the usb stick, not my install on  the  internal drive, thoughts
[21:54] <dwhitehead> dugger5688: upped to 10.10 earlier this week
[21:54] <dugger5688> tasaduq: 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager'
[21:54] <chris_> tasaduq: "aptitude search compiz | grep system"
[21:54] <RambJoe> does the global menu in ubuntu 10.10 netbook support QT?
[21:54] <epaphus> Hello. Has anybody been able to "burn" a bootable iso to a usb stick such as: sudo dd if=usb-image.iso of=/dev/sdb  ... i cant get it to work.... iam trying to burn a ubuntu minimal iso.
[21:54] <gnubie> interesting on my notebook, the boot sequence halts to a black screen after the grub selection menu. Turns out it is the preload app that is doing it.
[21:54] <Sayo__> i would assume if i hadn't changed my mount since booting onto the stick, i'm not mounted on the internal drive
[21:54] <WXZ> WXZ: it should be fine if later on you replace "sdb5" with "sda"
[21:55] <sporkboy> background: upgraded to 10.10, hangs on blank screen on boot. got all my x log errors cleared, but it's still not coming up. ideas?
[21:55] <dugger5688> dwhitehead: I know, but have you run updates since then? The 10.10 remote desktop bug is fixed. If you're still having trouble you should file a bug report.
[21:55] <Firartix> I can't get to connect to my school's Wi-FI network (hidden SSID, multiple access points, and in-browser auth) using Ubuntu. I got no issue on Win7 though. Do you think it's driver related ?
[21:55] <dwhitehead> dugger5688: will try that, thanks!
[21:55] <Sayo__> WXZ: that'll put it on my main MBR of the drive?
[21:55] <WXZ> yeah
[21:56] <Martin_vW> Since Ubuntu 10.10, FIrefox has a new icon for the back button. Can I somehow restore the old Firefox icons?
[21:56] <WXZ> I don't know if you need the UUID of your first partition though
[21:56] <WXZ> sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[21:56] <WXZ> *should* work
[21:56] <dugger5688> if you need the UUID type "sudo blkid"
[21:56] <WXZ> but if it doesn't try sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/UUID_of_your_ubuntu_partition /dev/sda
[21:56] <Martin_vW> I even tried to install a theme, but it actually changes all icons _except_ the back icon and the other icons in that bar :-(
[21:57] <WXZ> I'm assuming you only have 1 hdd right Sayo__
[21:57] <Avo> help! my ubuntu partition wont mount!
[21:57] <Avo> it's read-only!
[21:57] <Rix> is it possible to install flash plugin in firefox in the live version of ubuntu placed on usb stick
[21:57] <tasaduq> dugger5688, i still can't get it...
[21:57] <erUSUL> Avo: check it from a livecd;
[21:57] <LWSDesigns> Firartix I doubt it I think its the type of encryption they use....like tokens or EAP mode maybe
[21:57] <Avo> erUSUL, Okay, like boot to the ubuntu livecd?
[21:58] <Sayo__> WXZ: yup
[21:58] <WXZ> then yeah, what I said up there applies
[21:58] <Avo> erUSUL, And do what exactly? Verify that I can read it?
[21:58] <LWSDesigns> Firartix like software tokens with Radius or anything like that
[21:58] <erUSUL> Avo: yes; the ubuntu livecd would do
[21:58] <Sayo__> it said it ran without errors but didn't print a map like the guide mentioned
[21:58] <Sayo__> well i'll try it
[21:58] <dugger5688> tasaduq: Install compizconfig-settings-manager, then it shows up under System->preferences->compiz config...
[21:58] <erUSUL> Avo: fsck; gparted can do it
[21:58] <WXZ> Sayo__: sudo grub-install /dev/sda << this command?
[21:58] <Avo> erUSUL, Won't that destroy/have the potential to destroy data..?
[21:59] <Sayo__> oh no
[21:59] <tasaduq> dugger5688, thanks, found it
[21:59] <Sayo__> WXZ: this one: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/99cb2048-c77e-4208-99eb-ea707079303c /dev/sda
[21:59] <WXZ> yeah
[21:59] <Firartix> LWSDesigns: well
[21:59] <WXZ> that means it worked
[21:59] <Kyle__> hum.  Must've missed it
[21:59] <Firartix> they don't use any kind of encryption LWSDesigns
[21:59] <Sayo__> sweet
[21:59] <etyui> after following a tutorial where evry thing works fine, now i want to automate all cli, what i have to do ?
[21:59] <Firartix> just hidden SSID
[21:59] <Sayo__> well i'll restart it
[21:59] <Sayo__> brb
[22:00] <LWSDesigns> Firartix hmm thats an issue I can't solve I have the same issue
[22:00] <Firartix> aw :/
[22:00] <erUSUL> Avo: it all depends on the damage that is already done. you can ru a fsck with options to not touch anything only report problems. if that is ok. run the "repairing" fsck.
[22:00] <Firartix> okay
[22:00] <etyui> i mean is it possible to automate everything on a script i don't know ?
[22:00] <erUSUL> Avo: fsck can move files to /lost+found/
[22:00] <LWSDesigns> I had a program installed trying to think of name green icon logo on ubuntu 6.06 to solve it
[22:01] <Avo> erUSUL, What do you mean damage done? I was using the computer perfectly fine for like 20 minutes, and now I'm just in windows on the same computer. So it can't be hardware.
[22:01] <Firartix> :o
[22:01] <rockets> Is there any way to remotely control an ubuntu machine over the internet, without forwarding ports? E.g. something like logmein.com or gotomypc.com that's Linux compatible?
[22:01] <Smoodo> I am creating a list of table names from a file list.  I have the list of files from the command 'ls -c1 | grep MYD',  Next I need to keep the resulting strings but strip off the .MYD extension.  How would I do that?
[22:01] <LWSDesigns> Firartix Rutilt Manager
[22:01] <unperson> Is there any easy way to restrict the memory a program may take, or is that only possible through more esoteric means (like virtualization)?
[22:01] <erUSUL> Avo: dunno; root only remounts read only if there is some error
[22:02] <erUSUL> Avo: check the logs. maybe there is some clue
[22:02] <Firartix> mmmh
[22:02] <Avo> erUSUL, And if there is?
[22:02] <LWSDesigns> Firartix back then it wasn't an ideal fix I will look into a bit here if you will online for awhile
[22:02] <Firartix> LWSDesigns: this hasn't been updated for 2y, isn't the ubuntu integrated wirless manager better?
[22:02] <Firartix> okay
[22:02] <erUSUL> Avo: i can only speculate from here. you have the data to make the decissions. i can take a look to the log if you want
[22:02] <soroush> any one here help me to install apache,mysql and php ?
[22:03] <erUSUL> !lamp | soroush

[22:03] <soroush> tanQ
[22:03] <AHemlocksLie> is it likely there's an ndiswrapper launch bug with 10.10? that would explain why I can't wrestle ndiswrapper into functioning
[22:03] <narayan> hey all, I got a few questions, I am new to ubuntu used to debian
[22:03] <Newbuntu> hey guys
[22:03] <etyui> yes i feel ignore after my question
[22:04] <etyui> after following a tutorial where evry thing works fine, now i want to automate all cli, what i have to do ?
[22:04] <etyui> i mean is it possible to automate everything on a script i don't know ?
[22:04] <AHemlocksLie> or with prism54, which seems to be loading, despite being blacklisted
[22:04] <narayan> how exactly does auto mount work in ubuntu?
[22:04] <Smoodo> ah... solved... good old 'sed s/.MYD//
[22:04] <kenaj> hey, guys, I need help.
[22:04] <erUSUL> narayan: auto mount of what? removable media?
[22:05] <uLinux> Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs. Only scanned 127.0.0.1
[22:05] <Avo> erUSUL, Okay. Well you've been very helpful; I think I'll reboot to a livecd and check out the logs..
[22:05] <uLinux> 2 hostname's ?
[22:05] <Avo> erUSUL, thanks
[22:05] <Newbuntu> quick question, i have ubuntu installe din virtual box and when i click start to boot up the ubuntu VM ubuntu loads with the starting screen Ubuntu 10.10 and then four small white dots that get loaded with the color red and a purple background
[22:05] <LWSDesigns> you need to add your mount to fstab
[22:05] <erUSUL> Avo: no problem
[22:05] <Newbuntu> why is this?
[22:05] <uLinux> why does /etc/hosts uses "localhost.localdomain"?
[22:05] <uLinux> use
[22:06] <Newbuntu> and then it gves me some sort of error saying to upgrade bios or use some weird text line
[22:06] <kenaj> how do I make a wireless internet connection with missing firmware?
[22:06] <Newbuntu> but the machine does work but someonething is wrong with the startup
[22:06] <LWSDesigns> your machine needs to have a local network address for sql and such
[22:06] <narayan> automount is not working, and I am unsure of how ubuntu manages it
[22:06] <narayan> there are no entries for DVD/CD ROMS in /etc/fstab
[22:07] <Firartix> sooo aside from that wifi issue..
[22:07] <Newbuntu> can soemoen help me?
[22:07] <erUSUL> kenaj: you cant
[22:08] <Newbuntu>  i have ubuntu installe din virtual box and when i click start to boot up the ubuntu VM ubuntu loads with the starting screen Ubuntu 10.10 and then four small white dots that get loaded with the color red and a purple background and then it says to upgrade bios or use a weird text line, but the machine functions correctly after all this why does it do this?
[22:08] <kenaj> I know that but where do I find the firmware?
[22:08] <erUSUL> narayan: udev/udisks manages that in recent ubuntu ( used to be hal or and devicekit )
[22:08] <Firartix> I got some issue with the clock. I recently installed Ubuntu, and during installing the timezone and the time wouldn't match because my BIOS time was already in GMT+2. Now, whenever i change the time to be correct on Win7 or Ubuntu, it changes BIOS one, and therefore the other OS one - making it invalid
[22:09] <erUSUL> narayan: udisks --enumerate
[22:09] <Firartix> is there any way to settle all this to get times right everywhere ? >_<
[22:09] <dhevil> ok. ubuntu studio keeps crashing on decent Amd 64 bit: 2 gb ram: nvidia geforce 8500 1 gb ram, ideas? i am new to ubuntu. migrating from opensuse
[22:09] <erUSUL> Firartix: edit the UTC variable in /etc/default/rcS
[22:11] <Firartix> okay
[22:11] <Firartix> erUSUL: i guess i gotta restart ?
[22:11] <tip2tail> hello
[22:11] <zth> is there a way to downgrade from 10.10 to 10.04 without re-installing?
[22:11] <glithcd> hi
[22:11] <kenaj> I run 10.10. How do I find internet firmware?
[22:11] <gOLDfeesh> Hey, so I updated to Maverick and now my video doesn't work
[22:11] <Firartix> oO downgrade meh
[22:12] <gOLDfeesh> kenaj i'm in the same boat....
[22:12] <liquidmeson> zth, not really, it wouldn't be easy anyway
[22:12] <Firartix> there seem to be alot of problem around with 10.10
[22:12] <tip2tail> I wonder if anyone can help - I'm fairly new to Ubuntu - using 10.10 - and I want to relocate where the Documents, Pictures, Music etc folders are on my system.
[22:12] <Newbuntu> everytime i boot up ubuntu in virtualbox it prompts me to install ubuntu
[22:12] <Firartix> awell gonna reboot
[22:12] <tip2tail> I want to redirect them to folders on my NTFS drive rather than my main one.
[22:12] <tip2tail> Can anyone help?
[22:12] <rooks> zth, i just installed old Radiance theme, and im just waiting till wifi will be fixed in 10.10
[22:13] <VCoolio> tip2tail: ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[22:13] <erUSUL> Newbuntu: you still have the iso in the virtualcd drive?
[22:13] <Newbuntu> umm
[22:13] <Newbuntu> im not sure
[22:13] <tip2tail> VCoolio - thanks - DO I edit that file?
[22:14] <VCoolio> tip2tail: or change the folders in your home to symlinks to ntfs folders; yes, you can edit the file
[22:14] <Newbuntu> how would i view the vitual cd drive
[22:14] <gOLDfeesh> tip2tail yes
[22:14] <liquidmeson> kenaj, ubuntu dosen't use firmware, things typically either work or don't work. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[22:14] <tip2tail> how do I change the folders to Symblinks - that sounds easier
[22:14] <erUSUL> Newbuntu: #vbox
[22:14] <thechris> I need help finding my network printer
[22:14] <ubuntu_> erUSUL, I'm in the livecd!

[22:15] <liquidmeson> tip2tail, right click make link
[22:15] <zth> would it be possible to use 10.10 but with an older kernel? im thinking Lucid's RT-kernel
[22:15] <tip2tail> klkl - thanks I'll give it a go
[22:15] <klaxian_> when burning a dual layer disk with K3b, it stops with an I/O error after the first layer.  any ideas?  brasero won't start burning at all
[22:15] <androidbruce> could anyone help me out with application crashed and system sluggishess?
[22:15] <liquidmeson> thechris, is it on a windows pc?
[22:15] <klaxian_> this was working fine in ubuntu 10.04
[22:16] <liquidmeson> thechris, i mean is the printer connected to a windows computer?
[22:16] <androidbruce> all of a sudden applications will "dim to a grey"
[22:16] <erUSUL> ubuntu_: ok; good news,
[22:16] <thechris> liquidmeson: no, the last time I used this I used ipp
[22:16] <androidbruce> and almost force close
[22:16] <kenaj> My computer was playing beautiful music (amarok) and suddenly shutdown yesterday. Now I  cant make wireless internet connection
[22:16] <tip2tail> That was simple - gonna like this system! Much easier than Windows 7! Thanks guys!
[22:17] <klaxian_> androidbruce: how much RAM do u have?
[22:17] <sporkboy> still can't get X up. I did spot something in my log that looks a little suspicious: [    38.580] (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled. could that be my problem?
[22:17] <androidbruce> 3gb's klaxian_
[22:17] <karmel> I have usb hdd with fat32 and it mounts with read only. How to deal with it?
[22:17] <jinx_> how can I reset a USB device from the command line?
[22:17] <androidbruce> klaxian_, well 2.8 according to ubuntu
[22:17] <Wavesonics> after upgrading to 10.10 my themes are messed up, they either dont apply all the way, or dont survive a reboot, any ideas?
[22:17] <erUSUL> jinx_: define "reset"
[22:18] <VCoolio> karmel: try pmount or add a line to fstab in which you specify permissions
[22:18] <liquidmeson> thechris, http://localhost:631/printers/ hopefully the printer is already online
[22:18] <klaxian_> androidbruce: what applications are crashing and sluggish? is it always the same ones?
[22:19] <avo> erUSUL, So?
[22:19] <thechris> liquidmeson: "no printers"
[22:19] <jinx_> erUSUL, basically I have a USB mouse with a usb reciever.  To sync it with the mouse I have to unplug it and plug it back in.  I want to basically do that from the command line
[22:19] <erUSUL> avo: i would do a read only fsck pass
[22:19] <avo> erUSUL, How exactly can I do that?
[22:19] <Armageddon> I have a Toshiba A300D-17G with a Chicony webcam built in, whenever I try to access the webcam the wireless crashes and I need to restart to make it work again, anyone has any idea ?
[22:19] <erUSUL> avo: sudo e2fsck -nv /dev/sdxx
[22:20] <liquidmeson> thechris, anyway to check if it is online, maybe ping the printer if it has an ip or the host or check power physically?
[22:20] <avo> erUSUL, and there is NO CHANCE at all for ANY sort of damage/bad stuff at will with that command, right :)?
[22:20] <thechris> liquidmeson: its plugged into the network.  it has power.
[22:21] <KatoHearts> hello?

[22:23] <nogal> Hey there - anyone mind helping me out with a nautilus-elementary issue?
[22:24] <KatoHearts> Ok I installed 10.10 on my win7 laptop
[22:24] <Omen_20> anyone able to get GlobalMenu working on 10.10?
[22:24] <jinx_> erUSUL, basically I have a USB mouse with a usb reciever.  To sync it with the mouse I have to unplug it and plug it back in.  I want to basically do that from the command line
[22:24] <KatoHearts> It refuses to accept its existence
[22:24] <Pelao> alguien habla castellano??
[22:24] <CosmiChaos> Please help, i lost my window-decoration in Synaptic  Any other applications works. Restart does not solve the issue, i pressed some ALTF# combos but that dont fit it back, please help.
[22:24] <nogal> Kato - what do you mean?
[22:24] <KatoHearts> I cant find it
[22:25] <KatoHearts> I cant boot into it
[22:25] <karmel> VCoolio, have added a line to fstab and nothing
[22:25] <Omen_20> KatoHearts, GRUB not come up?
[22:25] <nogal> you can't boot into win7 or ubuntu?
[22:25] <KatoHearts> Grub?
[22:25] <Omen_20> The list of OSs to boot to
[22:25] <karmel> /dev/sdb1    /media/dysk    vfat    rw,users,umask=0000    0    0 - looks good i think
[22:25] <karmel> it is /dev/sdb1    /media/dysk    vfat    rw,users,umask=0000    0    0 - looks good i think
[22:25] <KatoHearts> ok let me check that
[22:25] <Sayo> i also cannot boot
[22:25] <aeon-ltd> CosmiChaos: you mean the window border? try alt-f2 then type 'metacity --replace' or 'compiz --replace' if your using compiz
[22:25] <Sayo> :(
[22:25] <klaxian_> androidbruce: does a reboot help?  how much swap space is in use?  is something maxing out your RAM?
[22:25] <Pelao> al parecer no habla nadie castellano, me voy a buscar ayuda a otra parte
[22:25] <kenaj> bye folks and thanks
[22:26] <liquidmeson> thechris, if it dosen't show up there then there is probably something wrong with the printer, if is connected via usb check the pc, if ethernet/wireless then printer.
[22:26] <nogal> anyone mind helping out with getting nautilus elementary to load?
[22:26] <erUSUL> jinx_: really dunno; sorry
[22:26] <nogal> i installed it via PPA and restarted it, but only the regular nautilus will load
[22:26] <liquidmeson> nogal, its kinda automatic if you follow the steps right
[22:26] <liquidmeson> nogal, try restarting the pc?
[22:26] <CosmiChaos> aeon-ltd, no and yes. the windowborder... yes... the decoration is lostbut ONLY for one specific application ... like i said Synaptic. so your idea does not work. please read my issue carefully before.
[22:27] <nogal> yes, i've restarted nautilus, and my pc
[22:27] <nogal> (and of course done the update/upgrade)
[22:27] <Some_Person> Ok, I want to know what the hell is causing this: I installed ubuntu, and it booted fine, installed some drivers and stuff and all was good. A few boots later, I try to boot and get a kernel panic. This persists seemingly every boot. I boot to the alternate install cd (it was handy at the time) and reinstalled GRUB. It booted fine again. A few boots later, kernel panic. Then, next boot (and currently), I get an (initramfs) prompt.
[22:27] <pooltable> help on  getting gdesklets to work i click on it it try to loads then it crasher what is wrong ?
[22:27] <liquidmeson> nogal, try alt-f2 an type nautilus

[22:28] <nogal> still runs the "old" version that came packaged with 10.10
[22:28] <avo> erUSUL, Okay, I ran that!
[22:28] <avo> erUSUL, No damage done, but it did find some errors; i'll pastebin them
[22:28] <aeon-ltd> CosmiChaos: just test this though, open a terminal and try any sudo gui app to test if this is only for apps run as root
[22:28] <Some_Person> I thought it might be bad RAM or something, but memtest86 checked out
[22:29] <erUSUL> Some_Person: would help the reason/error of the panic

[22:29] <Omen_20> Does anyone know how to install netbook's global menu in Desktop edition?
[22:30] <Omni_Link> Help: I'm trying to setup the window key to run a command, however in the Keyboard settings the Win Key will not respond. (but it will respond when i'm in KeyTouch)
[22:30] <Some_Person> erUSUL: Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[22:30] <aeon-ltd> CosmiChaos: please read my query carefully before, i said test for root applications
[22:30] <KatoHearts> Ok that's a lot of grub
[22:30] <KatoHearts> which one do i use
[22:30] <nogal> Kato - which come up?
[22:31] <KatoHearts> .92 through 1.98
[22:31] <CosmiChaos> aeon-ltd, no you simply dont read, i said everything else is working, just stop your awful support, i love to shoot my head more likely then going on with you
[22:31] <erUSUL> avo: well; now you have to choose if you want fsck to fix those errors
[22:31] <Firartix> Hi there again! Wanted to know if you guys would happen to know where flash object saving stuff might be located. I recall it was in App Data\Roaming\ on Windows, and would like to copy crappy flash games saving to my ubuntu boot :p
[22:31] <KatoHearts> and one called multiboot
[22:31] <pooltable> help on  getting gdesklets to work i click on it it try to loads then it crasher what is wrong ?
[22:32] <onaogh> i have properly configured my http proxy, but apt-get keeps on says that proxy authentication failed
[22:32] <HellRage> hii alll
[22:32] <nogal> let me just make sure i'm with you
[22:32] <KatoHearts> k
[22:32] <nogal> when you turn on your computer
[22:32] <HellRage> need some help withe sound card driver
[22:32] <Omni_Link> I'm trying to setup the window key to run a command, however in the Keyboard settings the Win Key will not respond. (but it will respond when i'm in KeyTouch)
[22:32] <nogal> does it load a screen with a selection of operating systems
[22:32] <KatoHearts> no
[22:32] <avo> erUSUL, How do I do that? Why would I NOT do that?
[22:32] <nogal> alright
[22:32] <eroick> Hello, with Lucid Server I do not get a terminal at boot. I know it boots up successfully because I can get a terminal by pressing CTRL-ALT-F1, but none appears immediately. I'm connecting to this computer over serial, so I can't get a terminal. Any ideas?
[22:32] <KatoHearts> and when i go to that screen win7 is the only option
[22:33] <nogal> which did you install first?
[22:33] <KatoHearts> win7
[22:33] <CosmiChaos> Anyone does know the keyboard-shortcut to bring back Windowdecorations for a specific application. I somehow managed to kill it permanently for synaptic.
[22:33] <HellRage> how can say how i can rollback my sound card driver ?
[22:33] <KatoHearts> came on the laptop
[22:33] <eroick> Unless there's a way to send CTRL-ALT-F1 with GNU Screen.
[22:33] <erUSUL> avo: run fsck with -p instead of -n
[22:33] <erUSUL> e2fsck*
[22:33] <onaogh> i need help with updating apt-get from behind proxy, writing proxy info @ ~/.bashrc doesn't help
[22:34] <nogal> did you shrink the partition on it?
[22:34] <avo> erUSUL, Ignoring the free/opensource warranty stuff, is there a chance this can damage things? Should I back up the important files first?
[22:34] <erUSUL> avo: as i said fsck may move files dirs to /lost+found/ when repairing a filesystem if the damage requires it
[22:34] <KatoHearts> not that I know of
[22:34] <liquidmeson> KatoHearts, when you put the cd and it worked did you click on the icon on the desktop?
[22:34] <avo> erUSUL, I don't exactly know what that is.
[22:34] <erUSUL> avo: /lost+found/ is a special dir in your filesystem
[22:34] <pooltable> help on  getting gdesklets to work i click on it will try to loads then it crasher what is wrong ?
[22:35] <avo> erUSUL, But isn't the drive read-only..?
[22:35] <KatoHearts> used wubi downloaded from main site
[22:35] <onaogh> help
[22:35] <liquidmeson> i wish they would get rid of wubi
[22:35] <Guest1172> KatoHearts:
[22:36] <KatoHearts> yes
[22:36] <pooltable> what wrong with wubi?
[22:36] <nogal> Katohearts, what i did on my laptop for that was to use vista/7 to shrink my partition, to do that - go to your control panel
[22:36] <KatoHearts> k
[22:36] <nogal> give me a moment it's been forever since i've used windows
[22:37] <liquidmeson> pooltable is makes ubuntu look bad cus it runs inside another os,.. slower
[22:37] <flupke> hello, when I transfer music on my iphone with rhythmbox (0.13.1) on my iphone (3.1.3), I can see them fine in the ipod app, but can't play them, anyone has a solution ?
[22:37] <Firartix> hmmm.... what exactly is that "YUM File" type Adobe Flash gives me as download o_O ? can i open this as a package someway ?
[22:37] <Firartix> somehow*
[22:37] <pooltable> liquidmeson ic thanks
[22:37] <nogal> kato - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2672-partition-volume-shrink.html
[22:37] <erUSUL> avo: no the system to avoid further damage mounts the disk read only when errors are found during operation
[22:37] <eroick> Is there a way to send CTRL-ALT-F1 though GNU Screen?
[22:37] <pooltable> help on  getting gdesklets to work i click on it will try to loads then it crasher what is wrong ?
[22:37] <rusty149> Firartix: yum is for Fedora
[22:37] <KM0201> pooltable, i[m not sure i really agree w/ that... Wubi is fine, to test.. but i wouldn't run it as an alternative to installing properly
[22:38] <Firartix> o
[22:38] <tom453642356> hi - where can i get the source code for md5sum ?
[22:38] <Firartix> i guess .deb's for debian

[22:38] <pooltable> i have ubumtu installed
[22:38] <avo> erUSUL, How can I be sure that the drive is unmounted before running fsck on it?
[22:38] <rusty149> Firartix: yep
[22:38] <Firartix> is .apt okay ?
[22:38] <pooltable> 10.10
[22:38] <Some_Person> Firartix: You want .deb
[22:38] <onaogh> do i have restart after updating .bashrc with proxy info
[22:38] <rusty149> Firartix: Do you have 64-bit ubuntu?
[22:38] <erUSUL> avo: fsck complains laudly if the fs is mounted
[22:38] <Firartix> oh okay
[22:38] <Firartix> rusty149: no
[22:38] <afallenhope> yeahh. I'm switching to Fedora, latest versions of ubuntu are wack

[22:39] <erUSUL> avo: correct. it will issue scary warnings and ask for confirmation at least twice
[22:39] <liquidmeson> flupke, do you know if the music on your computer is in .mp3 format?
[22:39] <afallenhope> !home
[22:39] <Firartix> the menu says ".deb for ubuntu 8.04+" and "APT file for ubuntu 9.04+"
[22:39] <Firartix> XD
[22:39] <flupke> liquidmeson, yes, it's in mp3 format
[22:40] <tom453642356> trism: what directory does the source get put in?
[22:40] <KM0201> why is tab not auto completing on a new xchat install?
[22:40] <rusty149> Firartix: just get the .deb
[22:40] <xolo> can some1 help me with installing game?
[22:40] <avo> erUSUL, Oh great. So should I back up before doing this?
[22:40] <quarksalber> hi, is there any possibility to get m4a working in rhythmbox?
[22:40] <Guest27818> KM0201, check your options
[22:40] <pooltable> use chatzilla here
[22:40] <trism> tom453642356: the current working directory
[22:40] <Guest27818> xolo, yes?
[22:40] <nogal> xolo - what's the issue?
[22:40] <julian__> yone know if nvidia 310M has compatibility issues with debian or ubuntu
[22:40] <KM0201> guest27818 well duh.. i've never had to enable it on a new install before... i've went through the options.
[22:40] <erUSUL> avo: up to you really; backup is allways a good idea nonetheless
[22:40] <jgb> what is the purpose of gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor?
[22:41] <julian__> yone know if nvidia 310M has compatibility issues with debian or ubuntu
[22:41] <andycc> julian__, maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1392766 helps
[22:41] <erUSUL> jgb: letr nautilus access some kind of photo cameras
[22:41] <trism> tom453642356: it will be the source to many of the basic utilities so you will need to find the source code in there
[22:41] <nogal> julian - nvidia has propriatary drivers - check those first
[22:41] <tom453642356> trism: thanks i can see the files now, i'll look into it
[22:42] <flupke> liquidmeson, like I said I can see the file, but when I play them I see them start, then the play icon blinks a few time and the ipod app goes back to the song list
[22:42] <infidel> !help
[22:42] <julian__> ok i sheak
[22:42] <nogal> anyone run nautilus-elementary on 10.10?
[22:42] <Elric> hi all have a ? and dont want to sound like i am a linux hater because i love linux it been awhile sense i last installed linux on my comp i do a lot of gameing so been using windows to do so but gameing as of late has gotten boreing so thought i dive back in but seems the 3 linux os i tried to install cannot find my ati cards or cant load the drivers for them i really like the way elive looks and was wanting to try that one or mandriva but i cant
[22:42] <Elric> get past the driver stage
[22:42] <andycc> nogal: me
[22:42] <infidel> man that should list the url to the forbidden fruits
[22:43] <pooltable> i have ati card here like to get it to work better also
[22:43] <Some_Person> Does anyone have any idea what the heck might be going on with my system (will repost the problem if anyone wants to help)?
[22:43] <andycc> Elric, google "<your card's name> linux"
[22:43] <nogal> andy - did you have any trouble getting it to load? i've set up the PPA, ran the update/upgrade and restarted nautilus, and my pc, but still the 'old' version is running, any ideas?
[22:43] <dhevil> ubuntu studio keeps crashing on Amd 64bit, 2gb ram, nvidia geforece 8500 1gb ram. system fine on windows and opensuse. ideas?
[22:43] <EvilPhoenix> pooltable:  System > Administration > Additional Drivers   first.  Do that to see if your card has drivers available
[22:43] <andycc> Some_Person, repost
[22:43] <andycc> nogal, no, it works perfectly here
[22:43] <Some_Person> Ok, I want to know what the hell is causing this: I installed ubuntu, and it booted fine, installed some drivers and stuff and all was good. A few boots later, I try to boot and get a kernel panic. This persists seemingly every boot. I boot to the alternate install cd (it was handy at the time) and reinstalled GRUB. It booted fine again. A few boots later, kernel panic. Then, next boot (and currently), I get an (initramfs) prompt.
[22:44] <avo> erUSUL, So I'm trying to copy my /home folder to an external HD with nautilus, but some files (the ones that start with . mainly) say they can't be copied because I don't have read permissions.. whats wrong?
[22:44] <rusty149> Elric: System > Administration > Additional drivers
[22:44] <liquidmeson> flupke, i personally don't own an iphone, but i would try converting a song or two to a different format to see if they work
[22:44] <nogal> avo - try runnin 'sudo nautilus' to run nautilus with elevated privleges.
[22:44] <flupke> liquidmeson, what format ? iphones only support aac and mp3 AFAIK
[22:44] <liquidmeson> flupke, it might be something wrong with the way they were saved, or maybe the song names are to long
[22:45] <aeon-ltd> CosmiChaos: you probably don't want my help anymore and i apologize for being rude, however are you running a application called 'maximus'
[22:45] <onaogh> plz somebody help me with apt-get
[22:45] <erUSUL> avo: all of them?
[22:45] <liquidmeson> flupke, anyformat, just to see if it works :/
[22:45] <rusty149> onaogh: man apt-get
[22:45] <jgb> erUSUL: thx. any idea what the" volume
[22:45] <jgb> erUSUL: thx. any idea what the "volume" part stands for?
[22:45] <nogal> onaogh, what do you need help with?
[22:46] <andycc> Some_Person, I would suggest posting to the forums. The last time I got something like that was with a kernel update, but I don't think that's your case.
[22:46] <zth> when i boot my computer, there's no way for me to enter GRUB and choose what kernel to boot from. how do i solve this?
[22:46] <avo> erUSUL, I don't think so. I did it to /var/www with only like 1 type of those warnings, i skipped it, and it copied i think almost everything
[22:46] <flupke> liquidmeson, that's not the way iphones work, files are stored in a special database, you don't drop them as is
[22:46] <aeon-ltd> !fixgrub | zth
[22:46] <Elric> i did that i googled seems the 2 new 5970 ati cards r really hard to get installed on linux but if i could just get it installed using vga mode i can write a workable drive used to do it all the time when i had linux 12  years ago lol
[22:46] <infidel> where is that web site that has all the tweaks like dvd playback and stuff?
[22:46] <flupke> liquidmeson, thanks anyway
[22:46] <erUSUL> jgb: it is the name that storage objects get in ubuntu? partitions disks etc ...
[22:46] <nogal> flupke - i sync my iphone with rhythmbox, maybe i can help?
[22:46] <liquidmeson> flupke, i mean convert them on the pc then re sync
[22:46] <Some_Person> I'm going to try reinstalling GRUB again to see if that will at least make it boot again
[22:46] <andycc> zth: I think you need to hold a key. Spacebar or Shift probably.
[22:46] <Omni_Link> I'm trying to setup the window key to run a command, however in the Keyboard settings the Win Key will not respond. (but it will respond when i'm in KeyTouch)
[22:46] <erUSUL> avo: ~/.gvfs/ can not be copied
[22:47] <jgb> erUSUL: ah, of course!

[22:47] <julian__> yone know if nvidia 310M has compatibility issues with debian or ubuntu

[22:47] <flupke> nogal, well, I can transfer my music apparently fine, I can see the files in the ipod app, but when I hit play the play icon blinks and it goes back to the songs list

[22:48] <VCoolio> Laptop_dim: you may like this https://launchpad.net/redshift
[22:48] <julian__> yone know if nvidia 310M has compatibility issues with debian or ubuntu
[22:48] <nogal> rhythmbox is 0.13.1
[22:49] <pooltable> flupke try this http://ipodlinuxinstl.sourceforge.net/
[22:49] <liquidmeson> onaogh, you can setup a proxy by right clicking on the network icon and going to vpn, then assuming you have internet continue as usual
[22:49] <vincnet> jest ktos z PL ?
[22:49] <Wraithulek> tak :d
[22:49] <onaogh> VCoolio: folder /etc/profile does not exist, rusty149: i tried that, not working
[22:49] <liquidmeson> onaogh, nvm ignore that
[22:49] <pooltable> help on  getting gdesklets to work i click on it will try to loads then it crasher what is wrong ?
[22:49] <vincnet> hejo
[22:49] <Omni_Link> ClvRt: Tried the keyboard shortcut: click on the command i want, press the win key and no responce.
[22:49] <CosmiChaos> aeon-ltd, "sudo rm /root/.synaptic -R" fixed my problems but thanks for your tryin to find out whats causin it. no it was not maximus, i repeat that i hit a keyboard-shortcut and that must have killed the configs of the application
[22:49] <vincnet> mam pytanie
[22:49] <andycc> julian__, possibly. Google is your friend here.
[22:50] <flupke> nogal, mine is a 3G, I think I read somewhere they changed things concerning sync... maybe that explains the difference
[22:50] <kieths> histo: Are you online?
[22:50] <onaogh> ?
[22:50] <andycc> !pl | vincnet
[22:50] <flupke> pooltable, I use it to make phone calls, too ;)
[22:50] <aeon-ltd> CosmiChaos: sorry i couldn't help and i'm glad you resolved it
[22:50] <test34> How to get the old Firefox buttons graphics back?
[22:50] <aeon-ltd> julian__: check forums for users of the nvidia 310m see if any large issues are there
[22:50] <pooltable> flupke ok
[22:50] <nogal> flupke - something that i noticed is that rhythmbox doesn't sync the same way as itunes
[22:50] <VCoolio> onaogh: it's a file, like .bashrc, and read every time you start a new session; and root should use it
[22:51] <pooltable> firefox look under theams
[22:51] <ClvrRt> Omni_Link, In my experience I've had to press the win key and then some other key at same time for a key combo shortcut  ex win+G for Chromium browser
[22:51] <flupke> nogal, indeed since syncing in itunes works :D
[22:51] <julian__> possibly no, the only
[22:51] <nogal> flupke - your best bet is to start the sync and just let it sit, because even when my phone stops reading 'syncing' it will still be syncing
[22:51] <onaogh> VCoolio: so shall i write proxy info there, http_proxy="user:passwd@proxy:port"
[22:52] <rusty149> onaogh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512686/
[22:52] <Omni_Link> ClvRt, Yeah, the Win+W works fine however i cannot get just the win key to pull up a command.
[22:52] <nogal> flupke - if you just watch it after the phone stops reading 'syncing' it will take a few moments and do it again - it's kind of erratic but it does work, just takes a little time
[22:52] <flupke> nogal, yeah I thought it could be me pulling the plug too fast, but I tried with a single mp3, ejected the iphone cleanly, and still no luck
[22:52] <anon33_> is there a hotkey for navigating to the desktop in a file explorer? ie - choosing where to save a file
[22:52] <ClvrRt> Omni_Link, Not sure think it works like the ctrl button. I'll poke around a bit see if I can get it working like you want
[22:53] <onaogh> rusty149: already tried that, restarted and no effect, apt-get can resolve sources hosts but cannot connect
[22:53] <kieths> Question: Any way to mount the root of a USB bootable Ubuntu, and add files to it?  (Not as in 'persistence', as my goal is to avoid writing, to keep it customized with no easy/accidental changes).
[22:53] <tom453642356> problem with md5 source code: md5sum.c:19:20: error: config.h: No such file or directory
[22:53] <nertil> why my USB Wireles stick goes down
[22:53] <onaogh> rusty149: i am using same proxy info for firefox and it works
[22:53] <nertil> everytime
[22:54] <Omni_Link> ClvrRt, It works in Keytouch program it will activate when i press the button.. however it does not work in Keyboard Shortcut. I've also tried changing my Keyboard to a different 104 keyboard, no luck.
[22:54] <rusty149> onaogh: Have you tried using synaptic
[22:54] <nertil> wich software is good like Windows Live Messenger
[22:54] <onaogh> rusty149:  yes, configred synaptics network settings as well, doesn't work
[22:54] <flupke> nogal, could you please tell me which version of libimobiledevice0 you have ?
[22:54] <rusty149> onaogh: You can add the proxy details i....  oh well
[22:55] <trism> tom453642356: that's not a problem with the code, it means you didn't configure it, you likely can't build it standalone without some additional effort, try a: ./configure; make; in the source root directory
[22:55] <nogal> flupke - i'd be glad to - but how do i check?

[22:56] <ClvrRt> Omni_Link, Just out of curiosity what are you setting the win key to run
[22:56] <rusty149> onaogh: apt may need to restart?
[22:56] <manuel_> buona notte
[22:56] <rusty149> onaogh: have you rebooted?
[22:56] <onaogh> rusty149: did restart eith every config i did
[22:56] <nertil> does pidgin use video chat
[22:56] <Omni_Link> ClvrRt, to the "Run Command" like Alt+F2?
[22:56] <aeon-ltd> nertil: not sure, but i don't think so, if i was going to use video chat i'd use skype
[22:57] <onaogh> O.o
[22:57] <intrader> I have a usb drive,I deleted autorun.inf. Now I have a problem. The context menu does no longer pop up (to allow me to unmount the drive)

[22:57] <mengesb> Having issues with an error code 16 displayed in RutilT - says it cannot connect to an Ad-Hoc wifi access point.  Is this a limitation possibly with my wifi card in my HP Mini5101? or an issue with Ubuntu 10.04 / 10.10 ?
[22:57] <julian__> fuck ubuntu
[22:57] <ilovefairuz> nertil: use aMSN
[22:57] <ilovefairuz> !ops | julian__
[22:57] <onaogh> rusty149: thats what i am trying to do
[22:58] <Omni_Link> ClvrRt, i'm trying to set it to "Show Panel's Main Menu", the higher ups want to use it like they do in Windows.. even tho there are 3 options for them..
[22:58] <nogal> julian  - that wont get you any help here
[22:58] <tom453642356> trism: thank you for your  help. it is a bit annoying that you need to compile 50 different programs to get md5sum compile to work, but it seems to work
[22:58] <sporkboy> okay... can somebody please help me get x to load in maverick with an nvidia card?
[22:58] <kieths> Re-stated question: Any way to customize a USB installation of Ubuntu without using persistence, which enables users to write to the USB?

[22:59] <nogal> try removing your configuration for xorg
[22:59] <rusty149> onaogh: do you get any errors if you use update-manager?
[22:59] <onaogh> rusty149: apt-get update wont work for me unless i config the network proxy settings, for which i tried to config at 3 different places at a time, and restarted with each, double checked proxy ip and passwords, but it doesn't work, i am sure proxy info is valid becoz i use it for firefox and chat here
[22:59] <flupke> nogal, I have the same version... I'll keep investigating, thanks anyway
[22:59] <onaogh> rusty149: let me paste and give u linl
[22:59] <ClvrRt> Omni_Link,  leave it to the bosses to make things more complicated :)
[22:59] <nogal> sporkboy try removing your xorg.conf for that - i had an issue with that
[22:59] <Some_Person> kieths: If you only want to use it with one computer and the drive is big enough, you could install to the USB drive
[22:59] <moldy> i am trying to use apport-collect from the command line. i cannot figure out how to use the launchpad login form. i can enter my username and password, but "continue" does not seem to be a link i can follow. any hints?
[23:00] <Omni_Link> ClvrRt, you have no idea.. they are family to top it off.
[23:00] <avo> erUSUL, Okay. So I think I'm going to run fsck now. What is -p for? and why not f2fsck?
[23:00] <avo> erUSUL, e2fsck**
[23:00] <onaogh> rusty149: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512690/
[23:00] <erUSUL> avo: use e2fsck -p is to automatically fix the filesystem
[23:00] <ClvrRt> Omni_Link, haha no way you are going to win that one
[23:00] <kieths> Some_Person: Goal is to modify the installation, add drivers, aps, scripts, then make it read-only.
[23:00] <erUSUL> avo: "man e2fsck" has all the details
[23:01] <kenaj> how do I find internet missing firmware?

[23:02] <nertil> Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps Network Adapter
[23:02] <sporkboy> nogal: tried that already. got rid of the errors, but I still don't have X
[23:02] <nogal> kenaj, firmware for what?
[23:02] <Omni_Link> ClvrRt, can i use Xev if i know the key code for that key? Win(Left) = 0x700e3
[23:02] <nertil> its stop working after 2 hours than i need to get of and get on again
[23:02] <nertil> what may be
[23:02] <liquidmeson> kenaj, you can also find other networks by clicking the wifi icon in the top right
[23:02] <nogal> sporkboy, on another machine i also had to remove another file in the same directory called xorg.conf.blahblahblah in order to startx
[23:02] <ilovefairuz> nertil: system > administration > hardware drivers .. is your card listed there? if so, enable it

[23:04] <Sayo> hey everyone, if anyone could help me with a grub issue it would be super coooool :D
[23:04] <mengesb> can someone help with some wifi issues I'm having?  Apparently my netbook (HP Mini 5101) and Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't like ad-hoc infrastructures according to RutilT - Error 16 - can't set operating mode : ad-hoc
[23:04] <nogal> sporkboy, check that directory and make sure that no other .conf is in it, try to startx, and let me know if you get any errors

[23:05] <liquidmeson> kenaj, but you have a internet cable plugged in?
[23:06] <kenaj> yes
[23:06] <nogal> sporkboy, not xorg.*
[23:06] <nogal> xorg.conf and xorg.conf.*
[23:06] <ilovefairuz> kenaj: what make you think the firmware is missing?
[23:06] <erUSUL> avo: why you did not use -pv ?
[23:06] <Sayo> it's odd that of everything in the manual here: (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows), doesn't really work for me as they say
[23:06] <liquidmeson> kenaj, when you click the up/down arrow icon in the top right does it give you a wireless option?
[23:06] <chris____> Anybody running 10.10 on a Macbook Pro?  I'm having some weird trackpad issues where it barely moves the arrow even though the speed is set really high.
[23:07] <avo> erUSUL, I was speaking to some other people and they said it wasn't needed.
[23:07] <lalinda> hello i have a problem try to install a new ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop
[23:07] <ilovefairuz> kenaj: paste the output of: sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo ifconfig wlan0 up; iwlist scan

[23:07] <indio> Hi. I upgraded my system to Maverick Meerkat and I lost sound in OpenOffice.org Presentations
[23:07] <avo> erUSUL, I didn't do anything yet, so if its really a mistake then i can just say no
[23:07] <rusty149> onaogh: could you paste the proxy settings used in the .bashrc file?
[23:07] <erUSUL> no not an error
[23:08] <Technoviking> my delete key think it is backspace, how to I change that
[23:08] <liquidmeson> kenaj, where does it say you need firmware?
[23:08] <rusty149> onaogh: You should use http not https?
[23:08] <indio> Hi. I upgraded my system to Maverick Meerkat and I lost sound in OpenOffice.org Presentations.
[23:08] <Omni_Link> Technoviking, Have you tried re-setting your keyboard to default?
[23:08] <ilovefairuz> !patience | indio
[23:09] <Technoviking> Omni_Link: yeah, no change, I have a Macbook Pro
[23:09] <liquidmeson> Technoviking, try hitting the insert key on your keyboard and trying again
[23:09] <indio> :)
[23:09] <ClvrRt> Omni_Link, Still working on it
[23:10] <netman> any one have problem try to boot form CD i386 ?
[23:10] <Omni_Link> Technoviking, I'm having keyboard problems also and found if i setup the default everything was fixed.
[23:10] <zth> is there a way to install Ubuntu 10.10 maverick from alternate cd but choose the 2.6.33-rt kernel instead as default?
[23:10] <nogal> indio, when i first got 10.10 i had a similar issue - but it was with firefox. it turned out to be ALSA which needed some configuration, and for some reason it was also muted by default
[23:10] <avo> erUSUL, Okay, I hit 'y'. It said a bunch of Inodes were FIXED. Then it asks Deleted inode 5242884 has zero dtime.  Fix<y>?
[23:11] <rusty149> zth: After installation you can remove the default kernel and install a different one
[23:11] <indio> nogal: Thanks for the tip :)
[23:11] <Sayo> I get this output when attempting a manual write of grub to the mbr "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sdb
[23:11] <Sayo> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[23:11] <Omni_Link> ClvrRt, no worries, i've got about 20 minutes before i'm done for the day. i've been racking my brain on this for about three hours.
[23:11] <zth> rusty149, thanks
[23:11] <erUSUL> avo: just hit y. if you used -p you wouln't need to answer anything
[23:12] <liquidmeson> zth, http://www.osadl.org/Realtime-Preempt-Kernel.kernel-rt.0.html
[23:12] <avo> erUSUL, I see.
[23:12] <avo> erUSUL, So i did, and it asks about some block bitmap differences.. hit y again?
[23:12] <nogal> anybody have an issue with nautilus-elementary on 10.10 - i can only load the standard nautilus
[23:12] <jeand> bonsoir
[23:13] <ClvrRt> Omni_Link, lol ok but now you got me set on figuring it out ocd just a little :)
[23:13] <erUSUL> avo: niether you nor even i; are in possition of making a decission maybe ext34 developers can
[23:13] <erUSUL> avo: we poor mortals have to trust filesystem developers
[23:14] <jeand> ki peut m'aider
[23:14] <Omni_Link> ClvrRt, That is the only reason why i'm still at it.. i'm still new to Ubuntu, but i'll be damn'd if a simple key error is going to stop me
[23:14] <raevol> also, where would i go to change the video mode KMS is setting to for grub2?
[23:15] <jurgen> hi
[23:15] <nertil> amsn says audio/video call capabilities has ben disabled in this version of aMSN because Microsoft TM  has changes their protocols again and disabled access to their SIP servers blocking amsn for giving you access to this feature

[23:17] <nertil> why ?
[23:17] <liquidmeson> raevol, unfortunatly not all computer support kms at this time, if your looking to change the theme of kms however that is different
[23:17] <nogal> nertil - sounds like in a nutshell microsoft wants everyone to use their software
[23:18] <liquidmeson> nertil, gmail video chat works great for me :D
[23:18] <zth> where can i find an original sources.list file? i need to redo my sourcesfile completely
[23:18] <raevol> liquidmeson: i am trying to get kms to use 1280x1024@75 isntead of 1280x1024@60. it's supported
[23:18] <Sayo> for what its worth i know this might be a little basic, but i'm trying to understand the abstract behind how mounting works (coming from windows), I'm on a USB live stick trying to install GRUB2 to the MBR ( i deleted the partition it was on by mistake), i believe the usb stick is sda, and my internal drive is sdb, but i can't write to sdb, do i have to mount it?
[23:18] <nertil> liquidmeson,  were to get it?
[23:18] <jurgen> so whats the difference in doing a kernel upgrade instead of a distro upgrade
[23:18] <liquidmeson> nertil, gmail.com
[23:18] <nertil> okey
[23:18] <nertil> :"D
[23:19] <^Neptune> New to ubuntu here, how can I switch workplaces?
[23:19] <nogal> sayo, ubuntu tends to mount most automatically
[23:19] <nogal> try /home/ or /media/
[23:19] <Badger32d> jurgen - kernel upgrade just upgrades your kernel, dist-upgrade upgrades you to the latest distro - i.e. 10.04 to 10.10 vs 2.6.33kernel to 2.6.33.2, etc
[23:19] <ilovefairuz> ^Neptune: ctrl + alt + left/right arrow

[23:20] <uvacav> is a $.post's success function supposed to run only if the json response contains {"success":true} -- or is it if the server returns 200 code
[23:20] <Sayo> nogal: i dunno, when i ran the grub2 gui installer it just flat out told me it couldn't write to sdb, and manually via terminal it tells me it's not mounted. is there a command i can see all mounted devices and where they point?

[23:24] <Badger32d> meesebyte, open the synaptic package manager, type in gnome - there should be a meta package that allows you to install gnome

[23:25] <sebsebseb> debbie: maybe theres something on the lap top to move to change the volume,  I meant that channel since hardware stuff isn't really Ubuntu,  however   can turn volume down and such in Ubuntu
[23:25] <Badger32d> meesebyte - for gnome3 you will want gnome-shell
[23:25] <debbie> sebsebseb: it quite literally gets on my tits
[23:25] <MattLinux> afternoon everyone
[23:25] <meesebyte> Badger32d: Ok awesome. Thanks for the help
[23:25] <Badger32d> np
[23:26] <MattLinux> Badger32d afternoon
[23:26] <debbie> sebsebseb: so I want to stop that little wheel thing on the front edge from doing anything
[23:26] <debbie> sebsebseb: because I can turn the volume up and down with the mouse and the keyboard.  I don't need to be able to do it with my belly too
[23:26] <hmca> greetings, where can i find the xvid mpeg4 decoder for totem? using latest dev ubuntu ppc
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> hmca: which release?
[23:27] <Sayo> ugh
[23:27] <Badger32d> mattlinux, ole!
[23:27] <Sayo> it's telling me /dev isn't mounted, but won't let me mount it because it isn't a block device?
[23:27] <sebsebseb> debbie: on a lap top, you probably can't just disable that anyway
[23:27] <hmca> ActionParsnip: 10.10
[23:27] <sebsebseb> debbie: however I don't know
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> hmca: i's not dev anymore, its released
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | hmca
[23:28] <debbie> sebsebseb: I have disabled it for every other program except for mplayer
[23:28] <kenaj> bye es tnx fer now
[23:28] <nogal> sayo - perhaps you'd have better luck using a livecd instead of booting from usb?
[23:28] <Sayo> nogal: netbook, no cd drive :/
[23:28] <sebsebseb> debbie: Why are you using mplayer?
[23:28] <sporkboy> nogal: okay, it started x, but it was all stripey, and the right edge was on the left.
[23:28] <Sayo> all i need to do is install grub2 to the mbr of my internal disc, it can't be too hard
[23:29] <debbie> sebsebseb: it's the best
[23:29] <sebsebseb> debbie: for playing what?
[23:29] <debbie> sebsebseb: House MD
[23:29] <debbie> sebsebseb: and Dexter
[23:29] <sebsebseb> whats MD?
[23:29] <debbie> sebsebseb: and Prison Break (season 2)
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> mplayer is the daddy :)
[23:29] <nogal> sporkboy, can you explain?
[23:29] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: well
[23:29] <debbie> sebsebseb: (it got a bit boring in season 3)
[23:29] <BalSak> hi guys. is the ubuntu mobile (MID) now completely dead? I'd like to load the interface for my HTPC
[23:29] <debbie> sebsebseb: but this is off topic.  try #tvshows
[23:29] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: maybe you can help her/him  something about sound
[23:30] <domcod> debbie: you've disabled the external volume control for everything, _except_ mplayer??
[23:30] <sebsebseb> debbie: your issue is off topic I thought
[23:30] <debbie> sebsebseb: MD is Medical Doctor
[23:30] <nogal> debbie, there's a 5$ fix called a 'lap desk'
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: i suck at sound issues
[23:30] <sebsebseb> domcod: since I thought you meant the actsaul hardware on the lap top  something
[23:30] <sebsebseb> debbie: ^
[23:30] <hmca> !codecs
[23:30] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: yeah same, but this isn't just soume sound issue
[23:30] <debbie> domcod: I've disabled the 'volume up' and 'volume down' shortcuts in the keyboard shortcuts dialog, so it no longer affects the 'master' volume, but mplayer is still affected by the volume wheel
[23:30] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: its to do with the external sound hardware on a lap top
[23:30] <nogal> sayo, are you trying to make a dual boot?
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> !sound
[23:31] <jzitt> !wine
[23:31] <jurgen> mdadm question: after dist upgrade(8.04->10.4) can I still mount/build old array?
[23:31] <sporkboy> nogal: not much better than that. like the display was overlapping itself.
[23:31] <sebsebseb> !fishing | jzitt
[23:31] <domcod> debbie: just tape the wheel. do you know whether the hardware is doing the volume change all by itself, or if the change request is routed through the kernel?
[23:31] <chu> .wc
[23:32] <dli> how do I remove adobe flash plugin? adobe flash is installed, but found no package by: apt-get remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree
[23:32] <jzitt> sebsebseb: "fishing"?
[23:32] <debbie> domcod: I know the wheel is only affecting mplayer, not totem, xine, etc.  I don't know more.
[23:32] <Sayo> nogal: I had like 5 partitions, 1 windows, and 3 UNR installs (2 of which failed). I deleted the two failed installs from within the third, but unfortunatly my copy of grub was installed to one of them, so when i boot up, i go straight to grub rescue>
[23:32] <nogal> sporkboy, if you can see enough to do anything, try installing the proprietary drivers
[23:32] <nogal> dli, use synaptic
[23:32] <sebsebseb> debbie: thats a good idea do something to the wheel so it won't move
[23:32] <indio> Hi. I upgraded my system to Maverick Meerkat and I lost sound in OpenOffice.org Presentations.
[23:32] <debbie> domcod: taping it is a good idea.  so it WAS a hardware problem after all!  :)
[23:32] <Ven]n> when I try to install bcmwl-kernel-source it wants to build for both 2.6.32-25 AND 2.6.34-020634rc5-generic, why is that?
[23:32] <sebsebseb> jzitt: you can pm the bot for factoids
[23:33] <dli> nogal, what's the package name?
[23:33] <Ven]n> and it fails for the last one
[23:33] <sebsebseb> jzitt: only meant  to use them here, when they are aimed at other people
[23:33] <nogal> dli, just search for flash and they should come right up
[23:33] <BalSak> !HTPC
[23:33] <debbie> hey seb, where are you from?
[23:33] <sebsebseb> uh just now debbie that was meant to be sent to domcod
[23:33] <BalSak> hi guys. is the ubuntu mobile (MID) now completely dead? I'd like to load the interface for my HTPC
[23:33] <sebsebseb> debbie: Why do you wonder where I am from?
[23:33] <dli> nogal, as I mentioned, it's not what I found: apt-get remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree
[23:33] <jzitt> sebsebseb: Ah, OK. I have a question about Wine and Unity, so was seeing if there was any info.
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> BalSak: tried XBMC ?
[23:34] <nogal> sayo, why don't you try just try installing and formatting it to a single partition?
[23:34] <debbie> sebsebseb: you seem so nice and helpful
[23:34] <sebsebseb> jzitt: whats the question?
[23:34] <sebsebseb> !ask | jzitt
[23:34] <sebsebseb> debbie: yeah I am useually :)
[23:34] <sebsebseb> debbie: England, you?
[23:34] <debbie> sebsebseb: Canada
[23:34] <jzitt> How do I get programs that I installed with Wine to appear in Unity?
[23:34] <domcod> debbie: the wheel is not affecting xine. did you do something to xine to make it so?
[23:34] <nogal> dli, why do you need to remove flash?
[23:35] <dli> nogal, I don't want adobe flash
[23:35] <jzitt> (I asked earlier, with no response.)
[23:35] <Sayo> nogal: there are a lot of externalities i can't go into right now, but i can't reformat anything
[23:35] <BalSak> ActionParsnip: I've built a machine that runs multiple media center apps on seperate concurrent TTY's, so I'd like to add another possible interface, like Ubuntu MID, MeeGo or Google TV
[23:35] <debbie> domcod: I may have lied about xine.  Sorry.  I know it doesn't affect totem though.  I don't even have xine installed.  I don't know what came over me,.
[23:35] <sebsebseb> debbie: I think I know who you might be
[23:35] <Ven]n> When I try to install bcmwl-kernel-source it wants to build for both 2.6.32-25-generic AND 2.6.34-020634rc5-generic, why is that? It fails on the last one and I only want it to build for 2.6.32-25.
[23:35] <debbie> sebsebseb: oh?
[23:35] <nogal> sayo, sorry then, i wish i could help more
[23:35] <debbie> sebsebseb: then you should be extra helpful
[23:35] <Sayo> and sdb is telling me it's already mounted but df prints nothign of the sort...ugh no worries, thanks anyway nogal
[23:35] <domcod> debbie: did you do something to totem to make it so?
[23:36] <sebsebseb> debbie: well if you got a daughter, but also a guy staying with you at the moment from this country
[23:36] <arky> I've been asking intermittantly from users FreeBSD/Ubuntu seasoned users:  is FreeBSD harder to use than Ubuntu for plani desktop users? I want to hear from a variety of users. Thanks
[23:36] <BalSak> ActionParsnip: I've got XBMC, Boxee, Enna, Moovida/Fluendo & Banshee loaded, & looking for more options
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> BalSak: Ubuntu MID Edition ended active development after 9.10 Alpha 6   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Mobile
[23:36] <debbie> domcod: nope, other than clearing out the 'keyboard shortcuts' for "volume up" and "volume down" in the system keyboard shortcut dialog
[23:36] <nogal> dli, if you don't want it i suggest opening synaptic, searching for flash and removing everything flash related
[23:36] <liquidmeson> arky, way harder
[23:36] <debbie> sebsebseb: I do!
[23:36] <debbie> sebsebseb: are you some sort of weird creeper?
[23:37] <dli> nogal, I don't want adobe flash, doesn't really mean to remove flash
[23:37] <BalSak> ActionParsnip: yea, i saw that. it's a pity. I would've like to have been able to add the PPA & install the interface. I'd like to avoid a full-blown desktop like GDM  or even Unity
[23:37] <sebsebseb> debbie: no  I am the one that helped your daughter with Ubuntu, and then she introduced him to you.  however this isn't really the place to talk,  pm can be though
[23:37] <arky> liquidmeson: thanks. And just to be sure: you're a seasoned user of both?
[23:38] <debbie> sebsebseb: I was trying to watch House MD, but the wheel is still turning
[23:38] <dli> nogal, sorry, my bad, the adobe flash is from 32bit chroot :( that's why not found by apt-get
[23:38] <liquidmeson> arky, seasoned i guess
[23:38] <domcod> debbie: can you devise an experiment to determine whether this is what disabled the volume wheel for totem? maybe the volume wheel is just a fancy keyboard add-on and the system sees it as keyboard events?
[23:38] <BalSak> ActionParsnip:you got any other good media centers you could recommend?
[23:38] <liquidmeson> arky, i've only ever used fbsd from a terminal
[23:39] <Spofer> exit
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> BalSak: i just use vlc + vlc remote on my android phone :)
[23:39] <sebsebseb> domcod: your from near Vanvcouver yeah?
[23:39] <debbie> domcod: the system sees the wheel as "XF86AudioRaiseVolume" and "XF86AudioLowerVolume" events
[23:39] <liquidmeson> arky, discovered both around the same time for server installs :p
[23:39] <sebsebseb> not you domcod, but debbie  stupid auto complete
[23:39] <BalSak> ActionParsnip: ... not a terrible idea....
[23:39] <ask> hi
[23:39] <domcod> debbie: are those x11 events, visible with, say, xev?
[23:40] <debbie> domcod: do you have buttons on your keyboard to turn the volume up and down?  like dedicated multimedia keys?
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> BalSak: sits on a desktop, vlc in the tray. I use my phone to start the film / music and it starts playing
[23:40] <arky> liquidmeson: it can be interfaced now with Gnome so I wondered how helpful the GUI is
[23:40] <BalSak> ActionParsnip: this HTPC I built is pretty skinny. no desktop; only X
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> BalSak: I also use x forwarding to run spotify so the app shows on my lappy but the sound comes out of the server :)
[23:41] <Sayo> ok, super simple question, anyone know how to determine what sdb and its corresponding suffix number coincide with what partition I have installed, and more over, if 'df' doesn't display a device, such as "sdb" being mounted, but "sudo mount /dev/sdb /dev/sdb" says sdb is busy or already mounted
[23:41] <goltoof_> Cursor becomes unresponsive. Out of the blue it will move but not grab or click.  Alt-tab also stops working. After a minute or two it will come back. How do I reset, or restart the process?  What configs control that?  Recently installed Wacom bamboo tablet, which might of changed cursor settings..?
[23:41] <liquidmeson> arky, for the basic user I would just default to ubuntu purely by howmuch more info you can find just by googling
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> Sayo: if you run: mount   you should see what is mounted where
[23:41] <dli> ActionParsnip, pulseaudio can forward audio through net
[23:41] <nogal> anyone with 10.10 know about gesture recognition and if its possible on a standard synaptic (the company, not the package manager) touchpad?
[23:41] <Andys^> wtf is kslowd ?!?!
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> dli: true but this requires zero config :)
[23:41] <debbie> domcod: xev shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512712/
[23:42] <Sayo> ActionParsnip: i did, and verified that sdb is not mounted, but last time i checked terminal didn't lie :/
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> Sayo: you can't mount a block device to itself
[23:42] <BalSak> ActionParsnip: not familiar with spotify. I've installed miro & banshee
[23:42] <erUSUL> Andys^: a kernel threath;
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> Sayo: you also mount partitions, you cannot mount sdb
[23:42] <Sayo> ActionParsnip: so if i wanted to access the mbr of my internal drive to write grub files to it, how would you suggest i mount it?
[23:42] <Sayo> ActionParsnip: ahhh, would you suppose sdb0 may be the mbr?
 OK. Beside that you're also, you're saying that FBSD is way harder than Ubuntu from the terminal
[23:43] <liquidmeson> debbie, i have dedicated buttons
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> Sayo: if you want to write grub then you point the grub installer command to sdb the partitions are moot
[23:43] <jsec> Hi all. My battery indicator on my laptop almost never reports the proper battery life and percentage (it's currently at 1.5% after being fully charged). running acpi -b shows the proper life left, but I don't want to run that every 20 mins. to see if my battery is going to die. Any ideas?
[23:43] <frobe> I know this is off topic but does anyone have any information on connecting a wireless headset to a tv/ (more specificly an direct tv hd dvr recvr with digi audio out?
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> jsec: log a bug
[23:43] <tado> trism: you still online? did you figure anything out about the keyboard layout icon?
[23:44] <jsec> ActionParsnip: tried. Launchpad is down for maintenance for the moment.
[23:44] <liquidmeson> jsec, my laptop is similar in that when brand new a full charge was 70%
[23:44] <dli> jsec, try the gnome-sensor applet, you can select sensors to be acpi ones
[23:44] <Sayo> ActionParsnip: as per the guide here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows), from what i gather, running "sudo grub-install /dev/sdb" should work, right?
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> jsec: hang fire then log it, does the system turn off when the erroneus level reaches zero
[23:45] <Sayo> becuase this is the error it provides: "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[23:45] <Sayo> "
[23:45] <trism> tado: yes, it was patched to add a key in 10.04.1, but doesn't work in 10.10, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/631989
[23:45] <nogal> sayo
[23:45] <Sayo> supsup
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> Sayo: looks ok to me, i dont play with grub as I only single boot ubuntu
[23:46] <jsec> ActionParsnip: no. But it's annoying when it does reach zero because I keep getting the "Battery is at critical level" popup every 5 minutes for an hour.
[23:46] <tado> trism: launchpad down for manteinance. i'll save the link and check later. thanks though
[23:46] <nogal> sayo i'm not positive but i'm pretty sure that the /dev/sbd location is not in actuality the mount location of your hard drive
[23:46] <Sayo> nogal: thoughts on where it would be
[23:47] <jsec> dli: technically the sensor is correct, it's just not displaying correctly
[23:47] <nogal> open a terminal and type 'df'
[23:47] <Sayo> mind you i am running a netbook with no other drives,  one internal IDE drive and currently booted off a USB stick with a live install
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> Sayo: /dev/sdb is the actual device and can be mounted, if you want to install grub to it then you use that device
[23:47] <sebsebseb> jzitt: can you repeate the question
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> Sayo: all drives are IDE, but we know what you mean ;)
[23:47] <frobe> wr
[23:47] <sebsebseb> jzitt: Wine and Unity
[23:47] <nogal> listed on the right
[23:47] <debbie> so do you think it's worth me hanging around for some help?
[23:47] <debbie> or is that all I'm getting?
[23:48] <liquidmeson> sayo, system>admin>disk utility, click on the largest one, Device: /dev/sd??
[23:48] <domcod> debbie: xmodmap seems to be the right tool here, but i've never used it. pase the output of xmodmap -pk
[23:48] <nogal> debbie, your issue is that your stomach moves your volume knob?
[23:48] <domcod> debbie: *paste
[23:48] <debbie> nogal: my issue is that moving the volume knob unpauses my video, and changes the volume
[23:48] <Sayo> ActionParsnip: my biggest issue is that i am currently coming at you live from the inside of a usb live install, and i'm trying to use this as a recovery console situation to repair grub, so i don't even think my internal hd is "mounted"
[23:48] <debbie> nogal: I'd rather it did nothing at all, 'cos I move it accidentally, and have other ways to adjust the volume
[23:48] <jzitt> How do I get programs that I installed via Wine to appear un the Ubuntu Unity interface?
[23:48] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, they're not going to put the new xorg into 10.04 are they?  It works just fine now that I'm back on 10.04 ...
[23:48] <Sayo> nogal: you want me to pm you the output of df?
[23:49] <nogal> yes
[23:49] <nogal> to sayo
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: no idea dude, you coudl hit launchpad when it comes back up and check the roadmap
[23:49] <nogal> debbie, sorry i misread it, no idea
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> Sayo: it wont be by default
[23:49] <sebsebseb> debbie: your lucky Chris has helped you out a lot with Ubuntu,  but this is the big channel, people are volunters,  you can't always expect to get a good reply
[23:50] <replicasex> Does anybody know about the new xorg and if it would be pushed to 10.04?
[23:50] <liquidmeson> debbie, could always take your laptop appart and pull out the cable connected to it
[23:50] <debbie> domcod: xmodmap -pk output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512726/
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> replicasex: could ask in #ubuntu-dev
[23:50] <Sayo> liquidmeson: sdb5 is my UNR install, sdb2 is my windows install,
[23:51] <Sayo> liquidmeson: but i want grub as my one primary bootloader, on the MBR of the whole device
[23:51] <meesebyte> What's the best way to shrink a partition and alot another one if windows is installed on said partition?
[23:51] <debbie> liquidmeson: I could.  I think maybe putting some duck tape over the wheel is what I'll try first if nobody can come up with a proper solution
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> debbie: duct tape
[23:51] <sebsebseb> debbie: it may be a bug with mplayer, why you can't just do what you want to do
[23:52] <debbie> ActionParsnip: I use duck tape
[23:52] <nogal> meesebyte, if you're running vista or 7 you can shrink it from the control pannel
[23:52] <debbie> ActionParsnip: it's better quality
[23:52] <debbie> ActionParsnip: and quacks
[23:52] <meesebyte> nogal: Ohrlly. Its windows 7.., so ;)
[23:52] <debbie> sebsebseb: I usually do what I want to do, but in this case I can't
[23:53] <gilaniali> I am trying to run this command but i am getting a permission denied error: ssh user@server 'git --bare init path/to/repo'
[23:53] <debbie> ActionParsnip: http://www.emergencyresources.com/ducktape.jpg
[23:53] <gilaniali> shouldnt this work in my own directory
[23:53] <jurgen> mdadm question: after dist upgrade(8.04->10.4) can I still mount/build old array?
[23:54] <liquidmeson> Sayo, can you currently boot windows and ubuntu on the same device?
[23:54] <replicasex> ActionParsnip, apparently it won't, which is very good news.
[23:54] <linxeh> gilaniali: your user doesnt have write access to path/to/repo
[23:54] <nogal> meesebyte: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2672-partition-volume-shrink.html
[23:54] <domcod> debbie: echo 'keycode 122 =' | xmodmap -; echo 'keycode 123 =' | xmodmap -
[23:55] <Sayo> liquidmeson: i could this morning. what happened was, a year ago i installed ubuntu on here, it put grub on its partition, i dual booted xp and ubuntu for a minute,
[23:55] <Sayo> liquidmeson: i recently reinstalled UNR, deleted the old ubuntu and subsequently deleted my grub, now i cant boot at all
[23:55] <fallenservant> hey does anyone know how to change your shell colors in icewm?
[23:56] <liquidmeson> Sayo, do you remember when you installed UNR if you selected use whole disk?
[23:56] <Sayo> no i did not
[23:56] <Sayo> i set it to a  very specific partition
[23:56] <magicianlord> Unity interface is underwhelming.
[23:56] <liquidmeson> Sayo, if your running ubuntu at all grub is on there, the problem is that its not seeing windows
[23:57] <magicianlord> LINKS
[23:57] <Sayo> liquidmeson: no man, when i boot the computer all i get is "grub recovery>_"
[23:57] <wisey> I'm moving to skipton soon and the exchange there has an ofcom classification of market 3. I currently live in Gargrave who's exchange is market 1. My broadband connection goes from around 700 kB/sec down to 15 kB/sec between 5pm and 11pm. Basically i'm not happy with it. I'd like a connection with 700 kB/sec 24/7 and fast torrents. Can you recommend something to me?
[23:57] <jzitt> magicianlord: Yeah, it's pretty but cryptic. Currently flummoxed trying to get Wine-installed programs to show up in it at all.
[23:57] <linxeh> wisey: skipton, yorkshire ?
[23:58] <Sayo> liquidmeson: like, when i boot i can't get into my hard-drive-installed version of unr
[23:58] <liquidmeson> Sayo, I belive someone say in the usb live, run sudo grub-install /dev/sdb
[23:58] <magicianlord> jzitt: like your rap music, dawg. yes, unity is not very useful compared to the standard desktop MEOWkat.
[23:58] <StuckMojo> when did maverick release?
[23:58] <liquidmeson> Sayo, did you try that?
[23:58] <StuckMojo> nervmind
[23:58] <magicianlord> StuckMojo: 10.10, money
[23:58] <Sayo> liquidmeson: try what?
[23:58] <domcod> debbie: did it work
[23:58] <domcod> ?
[23:59] <nertil> how to update my wireles stick drivers?
[23:59] <StuckMojo> odd
[23:59] <sebsebseb> StuckMojo: The Sunday that has just been was the 10.10 release
[23:59] <StuckMojo> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes <- still calls 10.10 a beta
