[00:00] <Nisstyre65> sarge1221: there should be some kind of init script you can put that in, idk how ubuntu 10 does it tbh
[00:00] <liquidmeson> Sayo, when your in the live cd, try running in a terminal, sudo grub-install /dev/sdb and then sudo update-grub
[00:00] <Sayo> liquidmeson: oh sorry missed that last one, i did, this is the output i get: "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)"
[00:00] <Nisstyre65> you could always put it in root's crontab sarge1221

[00:01] <debbie> domcod: I was trying to find xmodmap commands that worked for myself and didn't notice you.
[00:01] <dto> hi. i have a problem. i tried to boot the realtime kernel and it doesn't go into X
[00:01] <debbie> I'll try yours, thanks
[00:01] <dto> it leaves me at a prompt
[00:01] <dto> i mean, login prompt.
[00:01] <dto> now:
[00:01] <Nisstyre65> dto: did you try running startx ?
[00:01] <Sayo> liquidmeson: that's really the main issue i'm running into
[00:01] <RabidGoblin> magicianlord:  games mostly.  fceu (NES emulator), Soldier of Fortune II, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
[00:01] <liquidmeson> Sayo, you could always try starting from scratch :? install windows &then install ubuntu on top....
[00:01] <wisey> linxeh ye skipton yorkshire
[00:01] <Spofer> [ubuntu newbie] I'm having problems with apt-get - I can't install basically anything. Where can i find documentation about the apt-get tool (I don't have man and can't install it)
[00:01] <liquidmeson> Sayo, try running sudo grub-install /dev/sda instead
[00:01] <sarge1221> Can you explain how to use crontab? I have heard of it being mentioned and I'm using the program called scheduled tasks.
[00:02] <RabidGoblin> magicianlord:  with pretty ambiguous errors as:  "Error opening a sound device."
[00:02] <dto> Nisstyre65: just did now. says it failed to load the nvidia driver. i think i know why:
[00:02] <jsec> Spofer: what's the issue?
[00:02] <debbie> domcod: it works, thanks.  I think this is a little tidier, but is really the same thing: xmodmap -e "keycode 122 ="; xmodmap -e "keycode 123 =";
[00:02] <Nisstyre65> sarge1221: great explanation here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Crontab
[00:02] <Sayo> liquidmeson: ahhh i did that an hour ago, wrecked my usb live install :/
[00:02] <magicianlord> RabidGoblin: alsa sometimes conflicts and mutes programs that are running simultaneously. you may know this. also, maybe a required module is not installed this time, such as mpg123.
[00:02] <Spofer> jsec: I'm getting "dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure)" on everything
[00:02] <Nisstyre65> sarge1221: obviously it's already installed on ubuntu
[00:02] <dto> Nisstyre65: i tried to install nvidia-common while running the realtime kernel
[00:03] <dto> Nisstyre65: because i remember compiling it before
[00:03] <Nisstyre65> dto: not sure what that is (realtime kernel)
[00:03] <StaRetji> Folks, I need urgent help. My ubuntu installed on usb stick stopped booting. I've backup image of the stick and saved it on new stick, the same thing happens. USB stick reboots PC just after the bios logo appears. I've booted another system and mounted the stick, all files are there. I suspect boot record is broke somehow. Can someone help me restore it. Corrupted stick is mounted in /mnt
[00:03] <domcod> debbie: nice :)
[00:03] <dto> Nisstyre65: linux-rt
[00:03] <Nisstyre65> dto: nah you won't have to compile it
[00:03] <liquidmeson> Sayo, oops :p weird tho, sda should be the first drive in you system, what that might mean is that when you install NBR you installed it to your usb drive instead of installing it to the internal hard drive
[00:03] <dto> oh
[00:03] <dto> wait
[00:03] <sarge1221> thanks Nisstyre64
[00:03] <sarge1221> 65*
[00:03] <dto> Nisstyre65: anyway the problem i'm having now is that i cannot boot into x even with the normal kernel
[00:04] <dto> even after reinstalling nvidia-kernel
[00:04] <dto> i think i might be missing some kernel source? it complained about that for the linux-rt
[00:04] <RabidGoblin> magicianlord: yeah, i've tried them multiple times making sure nothing else was using sound.  i'll check out the mpg123 thing
[00:04] <debbie> domcod: thanks so much.  now I can go watch House and not have to worry about what my belly is doing.
[00:04] <Sayo> liquidmeson: nah, this morning i was checking my email from within my normal, on-my-internal-drive install of UNR
[00:04] <basso> auch
[00:04] <debbie> I'll come back and let you all know what happened.  thanks again!  :)
[00:04] <magicianlord> RabidGoblin: it's a fault of alsa. it sucks
[00:04] <liquidmeson> Sayo, so you don't know what you did to mess it up?
[00:04] <jsec> Spofer: what happens if you try re-installing tzdata?
[00:04] <Sayo> liquidmeson: really, all that happened was i deleted my grub install by mistake, i just can't get it to reinstall :/
[00:05] <liquidmeson> Sayo, how do you do that?
[00:05] <Sayo> liquidmeson: what
[00:05] <liquidmeson> Sayo, delete grub on accident?
[00:05] <Spofer> jsec: Actually the problem started with man-db (--configure), and reinstalling it made it uninstalled....
[00:05] <Sayo> liquidmeson: how do i reinstall grub?
[00:05] <dli> Sayo, grub-install /dev/sda (if it's sda)
[00:05] <Spofer> jsec: but i'll try, just a sec
[00:06] <Sayo> liquidmeson: oh, no, i had 5 partitions this morning. a windows install, 3 Ubuntu installations and a swap install
[00:06] <liquidmeson> Sayo, ok okay...
[00:06] <StaRetji> Folks, I need urgent help. My maverick installed on usb stick stopped booting. I've backup image of the stick and saved it on new stick, the same thing happens. USB stick reboots PC just after the bios logo appears. I've booted another system and mounted the stick, all files are there. I suspect boot record is broken somehow. Can someone help me restore it. Corrupted stick is mounted in /mnt . How can I update grub, or at least how can I find out which gru
[00:06] <Sayo> liquidmeson: I deleted two failed ubuntu partitions, one of which apparently had grub on it, because now I boot to nothing lol :P
[00:06] <Sayo> dli: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[00:06] <Spofer> Sorry, how can you reinstall with command line apt-get
[00:06] <mickster04> StaRetji: if you can get all the data off, just reinstall it?
[00:07] <indio> Hi. I upgraded my system to Maverick Meerkat and I lost sound in OpenOffice.org presentations.
[00:07] <StaRetji> mickster04: The thing is, it is not only data, it is my HTPC, with lots of setting and tweaks :/
[00:07] <dli> Sayo, do you use a boot partition?
[00:07] <liquidmeson> Sayo, I would do a fresh install of windows if possible followed by installing ubuntu over it. backups of course :/
[00:07] <StaRetji> mickster04: thx for reply
[00:07] <jzitt> Ah, OK, here's the bug filing for what I'm experiencing: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-place-applications/+bug/635223
[00:08] <liquidmeson> Sayo, wipe everything in windows
[00:08] <Sayo> liquidmeson: if only class allowed such a luxury as time
[00:08] <Azendale> StaRetji: How you tried https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD ?
[00:08] <mickster04> StaRetji: i would recommend looking at reinstalling grub...that might do your fix...also settings should be in /home/user no?
[00:08] <Sayo> dli: a seperate partition devoted to holding a bootloader?
[00:08] <Jordan_U> Sayo: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[00:08] <liquidmeson> Sayo, in the windows install....ah yes...my reason for getting a ssd
[00:08] <Sayo> dli: if that's the case, then no
[00:08] <magicianlord> "separate"
[00:08] <Nisstyre65> seperate
[00:08] <Spofer> jsec: Apparently you  can't remove tzdata. It's uninstalls almost every package on ubuntu
[00:09] <Nisstyre65> :P
[00:09] <pato> hello
[00:09] <Azendale> StaRetji: if any of the instructions are confusing, just ask
[00:09] <pato> newbe here needs some desperate help
[00:09] <StaRetji> Azendale: thx for the info, I already booted another ubuntu and mounter currputed stick
[00:09] <mickster04> !ask | pato:
[00:09] <Sayo> brb all, need a cigg
[00:09] <pato> thank you! I just updated my ubunut 10.04 via apt-get
[00:09] <jsec> Spofer: right, there's a ton of packages that are dependent on it. Hang on...
[00:09] <pato> but I had installed a custom megaraid sas driver
[00:09] <pato> now the computer wont boot
[00:10] <Azendale> StaRetji: So start at the sudo mount --bind steps
[00:10] <pato> is there a way to recompile the kernel with the driver?
[00:10] <Spofer> jsec: Isn't is cool that you need to type in "Yes, do as I say!"?
[00:10] <Spofer> :)
[00:10] <dli> Sayo, I saw this error, but forgot the solution
[00:10] <ubuntu> anyone know about running linux on a smartphone?
[00:10] <jsec> Spofer: huh?
[00:11] <Nisstyre65> ubuntu: /join #openmoko
[00:11] <Spofer> jsec: When you apt-get remove tzdata you need to confirm by typing in "Yes, do as I say!"
[00:11] <dli> Sayo, do you use standard ubuntu kernel to boot?
[00:11] <sarge1221> For sake of good advice which cron type is normally advised? I'm looking for one that possibly doesn't allow for individual accounts to set up there own crontabs but rather a universal one.
[00:11] <pato> yes
[00:11] <liquidmeson> ubuntu, what smartphone? they are all different?
[00:11] <Nisstyre65> openmoko is the best one if you want total freedom
[00:11] <Nisstyre65> the hardware is open source
[00:11] <dli> Spofer, I think you can do "apt-get remove dpkg"
[00:12] <LjL> wait, why remove dpkg?
[00:12] <pato> anyone?
[00:12] <StaRetji> Azendale: so far so good, fingers crossed
[00:13] <LWSDesigns> same here why are you removing dpkg
[00:13] <Spofer> dli, but how can i install packages after that?
[00:13] <pato> :'(
[00:13] <Azendale> StaRetji: Ok, good luck!
[00:13] <dli> LjL, when you have to type, "Yes, do as I say"
[00:13] <LjL> Spofer: you can't
[00:13] <liquidmeson> Spofer, if your looking for a world clock application the software center has one.
[00:13] <Spofer> dli, LjL, oh got it :)
[00:13] <IdleOne> dli: and how does removing dpkg answer his question?
[00:13] <nepas> can anyone show me how to share an internet connection in ubuntu for cell phone?
[00:14] <jsec> Spofer: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[00:14] <Spofer> liquidmeson, Thanks, I'm trying to solve a different problem. I'm getting error with tzdata when installing stuff
[00:14] <Spofer> jsec: trying, thanks
[00:14] <LWSDesigns> nepas you can use firestarter to share your connection over blue tooth
[00:14] <raevol> hey all i am getting no sound out of most of my programs in meerkat, anyone seen a fix for this?
[00:14] <dli> nepas, how do your phone connect to ubuntu?
[00:14] <Spofer> jsec: tzdata is broken or not fully installed
[00:15] <dli> Spofer, sudo apt-get -f install
[00:15] <jsec> Spofer: k that's what I thought. One second.
[00:15] <dli> Spofer, or, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[00:15] <domcod> pato: since a package update clobbered your customization (a common mistake), can't you simply to the same customization again?
[00:15] <Spofer> dli, Thanks, what does it do?
[00:15] <domcod> pato: *do the same
[00:16] <nepas> LWSDesigns, dli: I want to connect to the internet via wifi on my cell phone
[00:16] <dli> Spofer, to recover from broken/interrupted apt actions
[00:16] <IdleOne> Spofer: apt-get -f install will try to fix any broken packages and dpkg --configure -a will try to configure any packages that need configuring
[00:16] <Spofer> Ok thanks everyone I'm trying that now
[00:17] <dli> nepas, but wifi on phone can not connect to your wifi-AP?
[00:17] <LWSDesigns> nepas if i'm understanding you correctly a router would work or multiple nics with firestarter in your ubuntu pc
[00:17] <pato> domcod: I guess I can try to boot in recovery mode and copy the rebuilt kernel image over
[00:17] <pato> if the system allows it
[00:17] <nepas> LWSDesigns, dli: and my laptop connect to the internet via cable.
[00:18] <Sayo> Jordan_U: thanks for the guide bro
[00:18] <liquidmeson> nepas, click on the wifi icon, then click create wifi network
[00:18] <Jordan_U> Sayo: You're welcome.
[00:18] <Spofer> dli, jsec: ok first error on both is "/etc/kernel/postinst.d/nvidia-common exited with return code 10"
[00:18] <teknod> hello
[00:18] <magicianlord> what's the name of the next Ubuntu?
[00:19] <Spofer> dli, jsec: then "Failed to process /etc/kernel/postinst.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic.postinst line 1003."
[00:19] <teknod> Has anyone else experienced trouble installing 10.10?
[00:19] <lifebound> Yes me
[00:19] <nepas> liquidmeson: what else?
[00:19] <magicianlord> teknod: what is your malfunction
[00:19] <lifebound> i Expected trouble
[00:19] <nepas> liquidmeson: I try it, but it does not work
[00:19] <teknod> I'm trying to install it along side another version and windows. It is taking forever to partition.
[00:19] <liquidmeson> nepas, well type in a name choose no security, might take a while for your cell phone to see
[00:19] <magicianlord> teknod: are you resizing?
[00:20] <edgar> hi, I have problems with the screen resolution in Ubuntu 10.10, can somebody help me?
[00:20] <lifebound> Hey I dual booted my Ubuntu with windows, but my windows was corrupted how do i delete my windows so ubuntu takes the space
[00:20] <Sayo> Jordan_U: haha oh man no joke that is actually exactly what i was looking for dude awesssommeee :D
[00:20] <nepas> liquidmeson: yes, I set it no password, but it does not still working
[00:20] <magicianlord> edgar: what is your gpu and can you use the monitor settins to change it?
[00:20] <liquidmeson> nepas, maybe your cell phone only supports 802.11g and your laptop is 802.11b, in other words your laptop is old
[00:20] <nepas> liquidmeson: I dont know why
[00:20] <edgar> no, i cant
[00:21] <magicianlord> has anyone had trouble with cell phone signals interfering with wifi connection on ubuntu?
[00:21] <dli> LifeBound, just delete the windows partition in gparted
[00:21] <LifeBound> How do i get gprated
[00:21] <nepas> liquidmeson: but another laptop can't connect either
[00:21] <LifeBound> or is it the text thing when i start up the c omputer
[00:21] <dli> magicianlord, I got the interference from microwave
[00:22] <dli> LifeBound, sudo apt-get install gparted
[00:22] <magicianlord> dli: ok man
[00:22] <Spofer> dli, jsec: what do you think?
[00:22] <magicianlord> dli: how far away was your microwave from the computer?
[00:22] <StaRetji> Azendale: Dude, thank you so much for the link and mickster04 also. You guys are great!!! It works :)
[00:22] <dli> Spofer, usually, it's kind of grub related error, not difficult to fix
[00:22] <Azendale> StaRetji: Your welcome. I'm glad it worked.
[00:23] <StaRetji> Azendale: it took 5 minutes to boot. How can I force fsck. It booted 30 seconds before.
[00:23] <StaRetji> It booted in 30 second before
[00:23] <Spofer> dli, grub? how can you tell?
[00:23] <nemchik> fun pastie i just made http://pastie.org/1219533 automatically does a bunch of recommended stuff for a fresh install (of course this is setup to my liking and designed for ubuntu maverick mainly but it could be easily used on other systems)
[00:23] <dli> Spofer, can you run : sudo update-grub
[00:23] <Sayo> halp: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /mnt
[00:23] <Sayo> chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
[00:24] <Spofer> dli, yes, thanks
[00:24] <Sayo> if i get a failure to use chroot, am i seriously screwed?
[00:24] <liquidmeson> nepas, help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing might be something in there that could help but it looks dusty
[00:24] <Spofer> it worked, but it seems i have double entries for the linux (I'm dual booting with windows 7)
[00:24] <Azendale> StaRetji: Maybe it will boot better now that you have run a fsck?
[00:24] <dojohnso> hey all, i was running 10.04 on a dual boot system with win7 (primarily use ubuntu now), and last night via the system update manager, i upgraded to 10.10. but now when it boots up and i choose Ubuntu as the OS to load, it gets to a grub command line and nothing else. it used to show a list of kernals to load up. any ideas why? i don't have my machine with me now, just curious
[00:24] <IdleOne> Spofer: those are different kernel versions
[00:25] <IdleOne> Spofer: it's normal to have a few in there
[00:25] <Spofer> IdleOne, yes, you're right. thanks
[00:25] <phoenix_> hello i need some help
[00:26] <StaRetji> Azendale: I haven't run fsck, can't remember the command, it was something reboot -F something. This is my dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/512741/ it shows a lot of warnings which I don't quite understand. Thx for helping so far, it's really appreciated.
[00:26] <IdleOne> ask away phoenix_, someone will help if they can
[00:26] <magicianlord> dojohnso: most likely a grub issue not pointing to the right partition with ubuntu on it
[00:26] <phoenix_> it seems that when i try to play a game in firefox some of the keys don't work. such as asdf and a few others.
[00:26] <nepas> let me make it clearer. I have a laptop with a cable internet network connection. I want to share that connection with my cell phone (or another computer) via wifi because there is no wifi here. How can I do that?
[00:26] <phoenix_> i recently downloaded ubuntu, and i had the same problem with mint
[00:26] <Spofer> dli, I've ran update-grub, and the dpkg --configure -a still fails
[00:27] <IdleOne> Spofer: fails how?
[00:27] <StaRetji> EXT4-fs (sda1): INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem

[00:27] <Sayo> hey anyone know how to force umount something if it's "busy"?
[00:28] <dojohnso> magicianlord: any idea what i can do to fix it? or check that?
[00:28] <indio> Hi. Does Ubuntu installer livecd bring OpenOffice.org?
[00:28] <StaRetji> Is mounted filesystem with ordered data mode good for USB stick, or it should be mounted differently.
[00:28] <domcod> phoenix_: you've found a flash game that works in windows but doesn't work in linux?
[00:28] <edgar> Somebody knows how to fix the problem of the screen resolution in Ubuntu 10.10? My graphic card is Intel 82845G... HELP ME PLEASE!!
[00:28] <phoenix_> yes
[00:28] <IdleOne> Spofer: hmm above my head, sorry
[00:28] <jsec> Spofer: do you have an nvidia card?
[00:28] <dli> Spofer, aha, nvidia

[00:28] <IdleOne> !repeat | edgar
[00:28] <dli> Spofer, I don't touch nvidia, traumatized
[00:28] <phoenix_> it's on every game i play
[00:29] <raevol> hi all, i have no sound on meerkat, could anyone help?
[00:29] <Azendale> StaRetji: I don't know alot about mounting and filesystems
[00:29] <chek0v> any other laptop owners with nvidia mobile notice screen brightness controls stopped working?
[00:29] <Sayo> kitche: thanks!
[00:29] <domcod> phoenix_: this is very odd. i thought flash was a robust cross-platform industry standard. can't help you though.
[00:29] <magicianlord> dojohnso: not offhand, but there is a way to fix grub. keep on asking here and google fixing grub 10.10. i need to go in a few
[00:29] <StaRetji> Azendale: ok mate, thx once again for the help :)
[00:29] <Azendale> StaRetji: If I was to give you advice on running fsck, it would be from me reading man fsck.ext4
[00:29] <Spofer> IdleOne, jsec, dli: Think so, I'm checking. brb
[00:30] <phoenix_> too bad. could somebody at least check if a game called disputed galaxy works? log in as a geust and try pressing a
[00:30] <dojohnso> magicianlord: great thank you!
[00:31] <uLinux> cups.conf "start on (filesystem"

[00:33] <indio> Hi. I upgraded my system to Maverick Meerkat and I lost sound in OpenOffice.org presentations. Any ideas?
[00:33] <jsec> Spofer: ok, so there's no harm in trying this then. apt-get purge nvidia-common, then apt-get install nvidia-comon
[00:33] <vvuja> drops wi-fi connections at the time
[00:34] <Spofer> jsec, ok, trying
[00:34] <vvuja> Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100
[00:34] <vvuja> there is Wireless AP
[00:34] <vvuja> and Ubuntu drops wi-fi connections from time to time
[00:34] <SamWeasley> Hello, everyone. I jumped from Karmic to Maverick and I'm with an issue about AAC. I used a script to convert videeos to my PSP handheld console so I could see it. On Karmic Koala, it worked okay, but either in Lucid Lynx and Maverick Meerkat it didn't work. Any suggestiões?
[00:34] <liquidmeson> vvuja, its probably the router nothin wrong with ubuntu

[00:35] <vvuja> liquidmeson: only AP
[00:35] <jsec> Spofer: :(
[00:35] <vvuja> liquidmeson: I found the bug report
[00:35] <Azendale> StaRetji: It looks like fsck.ext4 -f -p /dev/sda1 might be what you need. However, that would have to be while the filesystem is unmounted, so maybe from another system or somehow early in the boot? Of course, it might not still be /dev/sda1 if you are booted into another install/livecd
[00:35] <mengesb> liquidmeson: I have a near same issue, except that it seems that ubuntu won't connect to an ad-hoc SSID
[00:35] <dto> i fixed it everyone, thanks :)
[00:35] <Spofer> jsec, tell me about it :)
[00:35] <dto> i had an old version of the driver.
[00:35] <scott_ino> SamWeasley, what actual apps were the scripts utilizing, avidemux has a psp video output
[00:36] <atude> pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this?
[00:36] <vvuja> ok thanks
[00:36] <rockets> How do we add an icon to the Launcher in ubuntu netbook edition? I can remove things, but can't add.
[00:36] <vvuja> liquidmeson: it says in bug report that network-manager should be uninstalled and installed wicd (whatever that is)
[00:36] <atude> pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this?
[00:36] <IdleOne> jsec: there was a trick about deleting the postinst script and then running dpkg --configure -a but i don't know if would apply in Spofer's case
[00:36] <vvuja> liquidmeson: via Synoptic Package Manager
[00:36] <SamWeasley> scott_ino - mencoder on command line. I'm uploading on a pastebin my script

[00:37] <liquidmeson> mengesb, I had a similar problem with my school, had to complain to get them to fix there stuff
[00:37] <IdleOne> jsec: yeah I don't want to tell him to try and not be sure about it. the person who told me about it isn't online right now either
[00:38] <Spofer> IdleOne, jsec: Thanks for all your help. I've found this thread earlier with my first case, the man-db (--configure). But no solution on thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1482631
[00:38] <liquidmeson> vvuja, synaptic pm is in under system > admin in the top left menu

[00:38] <atude> I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this?
[00:38] <IdleOne> Spofer: if you can live with this error for a little bit and wait for jrib to come online he should be able to figure this out for you.
[00:38] <scott_ino> SamWeasley, does using avidemux work? perhaps we can get the code that it's using as i believe that just uses mencoder as well
[00:38] <stargazer>  #ubuntu-br

[00:43] <Esat> How to clipboard a window with menu commands?
[00:43] <mmitchem> hmm
[00:43] <mengesb> Esat: use screen capture
[00:44] <Esat> mengesb, i use PrtSc key on keyboard, but it just copy window,
[00:45] <jesse_> ok
[00:45] <jesse_> IM here
[00:45] <SamWeasley> scott_ino - sorry, I crashed
[00:45] <jesse_> alright
[00:45] <Esat> mengesb, i want to copy command which inside menu
[00:45] <jesse_> so.
[00:45] <scott_ino> SamWeasley, do you get an error?
[00:45] <mengesb> Esat: gnome-screenshot
[00:46] <scott_ino> SamWeasley, I should say... when i run that it tells me that mencode wasn't compiled with libfaac
[00:46] <scott_ino> do you have the standard package or your own?
[00:46] <phoenix_> hey somebody try a flash game and see if you can make the following keys work: a, s, d, f
[00:46] <rockets> Is there a way to pin apps to the sidebar in the netbook release of 10.10? E.g. I was able to remove Firefox by right clicking on it, but see no way to add chrome.
[00:46] <Azendale> StaRetji: Hmm, I don't have any clue why it's taking so long then. Hopefully someone else can help you
[00:46] <SamWeasley> scott_ino... Just a minute. I'm finishing I try and I'll send you the output... Could I DM it to you? Standard from Medibuntu
[00:46] <rockets> Chrome is installed, I just can't seem to pin it to the sidebar.
[00:46] <scott_ino> SamWeasley, yeah
[00:47] <Ianr> I am using ubuntu 10.10 netbook live CD (off of a USB stick).  Every time it starts it asks me if I want to try/install.  Is there a way so that it just goes right to the desktop without asking me eaech time
[00:47] <Esat> mengesb, for example there ais a windows which has a few menus like File, View, Tools, vb. , i want to copy a menu'S content
[00:47] <liquidmeson> phoenix_, if you start chrome you should be able to right click an pin it. Start it by searching in the top left
[00:47] <rockets> liquidmeson, you're talking about the netboox remix right? I'm trying to do that. I can't pin anything.
[00:48] <liquidmeson> i'm talking about the new unity ubuntu :(
[00:48] <LoJuRu> Ianr, you would need to edit the image on the USB stick.
[00:48] <rockets> liquidmeson, right. thats what im using. The option has actually appeared now though! It'd be nice if there was a way to reorder the icons though . . .
[00:48] <Ianr> LoJuRu: I'm in persist mode
[00:48] <atude> I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this?
[00:49] <liquidmeson> rockets, you can reorder them, drag the icon strait out and move it
[00:49] <rockets> liquidmeson, ah nice!
[00:49] <liquidmeson> rockets, if you drag it tooo far away the icon will be deleted !
[00:49] <Alberto_Espanya> Good morning from Spain
[00:49] <Alberto_Espanya> I need some help
[00:49] <rockets> liquidmeson, ohnoes!
[00:50] <rockets> liquidmeson, although a little slow and a little buggy, I'm loving unity.
[00:50] <rockets> I can only imagine it getting even better for 11.04
[00:50] <Maahes> atude: open up synaptic package manager, look up those packages, do a force version
[00:50] <SamWeasley> scott_ino - sent
[00:50] <Alberto_Espanya> I'm trying to make my Ubuntu 10.10 to work properly, and to do so I need to route PulseAudio through Jack, is there any easy way to do this or should I go back to Windows? :-(
[00:50] <liquidmeson> rockets, mee tooo :D defiantly buggy
[00:50] <CoinBR> I compiled a old GTK+ version, but my php-gtk still reading the new. How can I recompile the php-gtk forcing it to read the new (old) GTK+ version?
[00:50] <Alberto_Espanya> I need to record instruments with Ardour, which uses Jack.
[00:50] <oss_sos> hi all, i've read the many bugs related to the lack of OSS modules under maverick, has anyone a solution in here?
[00:51] <rockets> liquidmeson, but well designed overall. Sidebar needs autohide though. . .
[00:51] <liquidmeson> rockets, can't wait until tabs touch the very top, ex. in chrome for 11.04
[00:51] <Maahes> if you no longer have the old ubuntu repos in your sources.list you may have to add them back, if these were from different sources (alternately you could just download the packages individually atude
[00:51] <rockets> liquidmeson, ah, 11.04 is adding support for non-standard window decorations?
[00:51] <rockets> liquidmeson, wouldn't tabs touching the top cover battery indicator, etc.?
[00:52] <atude> Maahes: I have no idea what's there and what's not... problem is, all of these circular predependencies that make no sense
[00:52] <liquidmeson> rockets, at least i remember mark saying something similar, i'll hold him to it. The top right would fade over it some how....
[00:52] <atude> Maahes: how should I go about adhearing your suggestion?
[00:52] <rockets> liquidmeson, Mark as in Mark Shuttleworth?
[00:52] <liquidmeson> rockets, yep
[00:53] <rockets> liquidmeson, Is he a friend of yours, or he said it in some public statement?
[00:53] <Sayo> sup everyone, i have failed yet again
[00:53] <liquidmeson> rockets, i wish i knew him better, it was just from a mailing list :p
[00:53] <Maahes> atude: go into synaptic package manager, look up the package, force it to the old version from synaptic's menu (I forget which one)
[00:53] <oss_sos> maverick with no /dev/dsp is crippled
[00:53] <rockets> liquidmeson, psh, I was going to ask you to ask him if he could lend me some money :-P
[00:53] <atude> Maahes: I'll give that a try
[00:53] <Esat> mengesb, i want to copy command which inside menu
[00:53] <Sayo> when running mount /dev/sdb5 to /mnt, terminal just sits there, it's not doing ANYTHING :| two restarts and i can't get it to budge
[00:53] <geist_> can anyone help with a noob question ?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> oss_sos: Why do you want a /dev/dsp?
[00:54] <Maahes> Sayo: ....have you looked at your fstab?
[00:54] <oss_sos> Jordan_U: cause there are few applications that used it, is that not a good reason?
[00:54] <Sayo> Maahes: i'd love to, you know the command to do that off hand?
[00:54] <rockets> liquidmeson, have you found any chrome themes that are a good match for the 10.10/unity theme?
[00:54] <liquidmeson> Sayo, sudo mkdir /mnt/test and then mount to that folder, ie. sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt/test
[00:54] <Jordan_U> oss_sos: Have you tried running those applications with "padsp" or "aoss"?
[00:55] <MaD-ZaT> gt
[00:55] <MaD-ZaT> hey all
[00:55] <Sayo> liquidmeson: so "/mnt" in the filesystem is just the activly mounted device?
[00:55] <Maahes> Sayo: its a configuration file in /etc/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab
[00:55] <Maahes> so you'd nano /etc/fstab
[00:55] <liquidmeson> rockets, well i don't really user the clean themes i just use the designer ones, vincent at the moment from the google themes
[00:55] <chek0v> also does anyone know if the nvidia beta drivers will be updated via a regular release, or will that have to be done manually?
[00:56] <nepas> dli: I use firestarter and share wifi connect with my call phone, but it's just local, not go out the internet! eth0 is internet, wlan0 is local. How do I set it internet?
[00:56] <Sayo> liquidmeson: still hangs. said "killed" the first time i tried it, has hung every time since then i attempt to mount it
[00:56] <nepas> s/call/cell
[00:56] <liquidmeson> rockets, vince*
[00:56] <Maahes> Sayo: you may have a fucked up fstab
[00:56] <Sayo> well, fstab is 3 lines long
[00:57] <Sayo> should i print it here?
[00:57] <Maahes> Sayo: pastebin.com
[00:57] <rockets> liquidmeson, this theme seems like a great match, if you're interested: http://j.mp/bbMiW7
[00:57] <nepas> dli: are you here?
[00:57] <jesse_> OK so my friend is having issues installing Ubuntu 10.10. He cant manage to Boot from the disk
[00:57] <rockets> jesse_, he needs to recalibrate the flux capacitor.
[00:57] <jesse_> the text on his splash is all messed up
[00:58] <liquidmeson> rockets, thanks but I like the artwork.
[00:58] <jesse_> and rockets
[00:58] <lifebound> I need too resize my ubuntu partition in Gparted but it wont let me how do i resize it
[00:58] <Sayo> Maahes: http://pastebin.com/aMDLjp3K
[00:58] <jesse_> YOUR A JENIOUS
[00:58] <jesse_> no but seriously
[00:58] <uLinux> "Hostname localhost resolves to 2 IPs." how can I fix this?
[00:58] <jesse_> hello?
[00:58] <rockets> sudo dpkg-reconfigure flux_capacitor SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS.
[00:58] <Azendale> uLinux: Can you pastebin you /etc/hosts file?
[00:58] <Jordan_U> lifebound: You need to boot from a LiveCD / USB
[00:59] <uLinux> Azendale: wait a second
[00:59] <Sayo> but Maahes, you should understand, i'm inside of a usb live stick trying to repair GRUB2 in my MBR, so that's the fstab of the live disk i'm assuming
[00:59] <jesse_> rockets
[00:59] <jesse_> he CANT get into ubun tu at ALL'
[00:59] <jesse_> no sudo -.-
[00:59] <rockets> jesse_, I know man, I'm messing with you.
[00:59] <sin_tax> I'm trying to install 10.10 x64 from a flash drive and it is hanging immediately after it gives the first line or two 'Linux loader by so and so et al' ... Any ideas?
[00:59] <jesse_> i know i know but i need a real answer
[00:59] <shirleytoole> jesse: what's your problem?
[00:59] <rockets> jesse_, sorry, I only have fake answers.
[01:00] <kgunpowder> Where can I go to learn the more than just basics of Ubuntu?
[01:00] <sin_tax> I used universal USB installer and the 10.10 x64 iso from the website
[01:00] <Jordan_U> Sayo: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after trying mount?
[01:00] <Jordan_U> !manual | kgunpowder
[01:00] <jesse_> well... my friend cant boot into any Ubuntu desktop. hes trying to boot into a live CD so he can install but all he gets are jumbled codes on his splash
[01:00] <liquidmeson> Sayo, with the amount of time your spending i'd just go for a reinstall, assuming you got stuff backed up
[01:00] <Sayo> Jordan_U: well it hangs after i attempt mount
[01:01] <Sayo> liquidmeson: can't :/
[01:01] <uLinux> Azendale: alnet
[01:01] <jesse_> It also said something about a missing file or something or another and he made sure to burn and download the file properly
[01:01] <Jordan_U> Sayo: The entire screen? You can't do anything at all after running mount?
[01:01] <uLinux> Azendale: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=2MpSZ5aR
[01:01] <Sayo> Jordan_U: nothin. terminal just sits there blinking the cursour
[01:01] <Sayo> and it's just when i mount my linux install at /dev/sdb5
[01:02] <jesse_> i think my friend is having the same problem as Sayo
[01:02] <Jordan_U> Sayo: And you can't open another terminal after that?
[01:02] <Ceno3x> Hi, is anyone here having problems with nvidia and hdmi audio?
[01:02] <Sayo> Jordan_U: I can
[01:02] <Jordan_U> Sayo: Then please do, then pastebin the output of "dmesg".
[01:02] <atude> Maahes: the packages don't seem to exist anymore
[01:02] <Jordan_U> Sayo: That will hopefully tell us why mount is hanging.
[01:03] <atude> this is absolutely rediculous
[01:03] <Sayo> Jordan_U: ugh i know this sounds so noob, but I can't copy the whole thing, it extends past the scroll limit
[01:03] <nepas> my phone can connect to my laptop via wifi. But it can't access to the internet, just local. How do I set it for accessing the internet. My laptop connect to the internet via eth0.
[01:03] <jpmorgan> hi, why does the 10.10 iso require "overburn" to fit? is this normal?
[01:03] <KB1JWQ> jpmorgan: Distro's getting bigger.
[01:03] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: How large is your blank CD? It needs to be 700 meg.
[01:04] <jpmorgan> i think 650mb - i dont think they come much bigger??
[01:05] <Sayo> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/5Dsm2y9h
[01:05] <uLinux> Azendale: * http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Y9ntcXfw
[01:05] <jpmorgan> im trying to burn it now but if it makes a
[01:05] <jpmorgan> bad CD then what?
[01:05] <dli> jpmorgan, burn with verification
[01:05] <sin_tax> anyone have anything bad to say about unetbootin before I try it instead of universal usb installer?
[01:05] <Azendale> uLinux: It is probably because both 127.0.0.1 and ::1 are given for localhost in the file. If you look at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/warning-hostname-localhost-resolves-to-2-ips-using-127-0-0-1-a-812950/ it sounds like it's ok to ignore. Is it causing you problems?
[01:05] <dli> sin_tax, unetbootin is good
[01:06] <uLinux> Azendale: the ::1 is ipv6 which i disabled
[01:06] <jpmorgan> will do dli
[01:06] <uLinux> using grub
[01:06] <uLinux> jpmorgan: burn at low speed, and use verify
[01:06] <sin_tax> What is 10.10 hdmedia?
[01:06] <atude> I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this?
[01:06] <Sayo> Jordan_U: this all started after i just umounted /dev/sdb5 10 minutes ago using the -f flag i think, or -l
[01:06] <jpmorgan> problem is the machine im putting 10.10 on doesnt have a dvd reader. ok thanks for suggestions
[01:06] <SeRVeR01> hey all , everytime i run my pc i got to readjust my monitor resolution to 1280x1024 every time it goes back to 1027x768 I use Ubuntu 10.10
[01:07] <Jordan_U> !minimal | jpmorgan
[01:07] <adilalpman> hi all
[01:07] <liquidmeson> sin_tax, make sure you choose the iso stored localy instead of redownloading it again through the application
[01:07] <Azendale> uLinux: In that case, I'm guessing removing localhost from the ::1 line should do the trick. (You would need to open the file with root permissions, ie gksudo gedit /etc/hosts)
[01:07] <adilalpman> i have a problem about ubuntu one option in ubuntu's gnome
[01:07] <sin_tax> liquidmeson, that's what I'm doing, thanks
[01:08] <uLinux> Azendale: ye sudo nano
[01:08] <adilalpman> i have registered for an account from http://one.ubuntu.com but i cant add it to ubuntu one in ubuntu 10.10
[01:08] <uLinux> Azendale: i have to restart networking?
[01:08] <jpmorgan> yah i just grabbed the download from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download - i would think a hard 650mb ceiling might be a good idea for a widely distributed iso
[01:09] <Azendale> uLinux: When every I've messed with /etc/hosts I didn't unless I changed the hostname (then things worked, but thought they were on a different computer)
[01:09] <Sayo> Jordan_U: was that enough in that file, or is it missing too much?
[01:09] <Centurion210> hello everyone... is it possible to install ubu 10.10 to a usb hardrive from windows ? or do i have to do it by a livecd ?
[01:10] <Alberto_Espanya> I'm trying to make my Ubuntu 10.10 to work properly, and to do so I need to route PulseAudio through Jack, is there any easy way to do this or should I go back to Windows? :-(
[01:10] <uLinux> Azendale: solved :)
[01:10] <jpmorgan> lol "BURN PROCESS FAILED"
[01:10] <uLinux> jpmorgan: what program are you using
[01:10] <jpmorgan> i guess i will build an older ubuntu
[01:10] <sin_tax> OK, my MD5 hash is correct - Anyone else had trouble with Universal USB Installer freezing before installing 10.10 (x64)?
[01:10] <Jordan_U> Sayo: Reboot then run "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda5"
[01:10] <jpmorgan> i am using nero but the infrarecorder also reported it was too large an image
[01:10] <Sayo> ok one second
[01:11] <uLinux> Azendale: i commented out all the ipv6 liens
[01:11] <uLinux> liens
[01:11] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: Most blank CDs are 700 meg.
[01:11] <uLinux> sorry *lines
[01:11] <W43372> the theme for my GUI is all black with white text and for some reason my mail in evolution shows up as white text on a white page. How do fix?
[01:11] <Sayo> Jordan_U: heard, brb
[01:11] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: You can also make a bootable USB to install from.
[01:11] <jpmorgan> the target machine has no usb or dvd
[01:12] <jpmorgan> so i will have to find another writeable cd and a smaller image to make
[01:12] <Azendale> SaRy: I got the firefox to work by upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 (I was having trouble starting firefox because of an already running error, even though it wasn't running)
[01:12] <jesse_> quick question guys
[01:12] <jpmorgan> i think i will just go with my last iso . perhaps i can upgrade it after its up and running
[01:12] <jesse_> other then regular wine, i need a really good program for running Steam and older games
[01:12] <UbuntuNoob> whenever i start up my laptop, i cant connect to any networs even with a direct connection and when i click on the wifi icon it says networking disabled any ideas on how to fix this
[01:12] <racionalist> Hello :)
[01:13] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: Did you see my message about the minimal CD?
[01:13] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: The last iso is also 700 meg :)
[01:13] <Jordan_U> jpmorgan: They all have been for as long as I can remember.
[01:13] <jpmorgan> yah i cant even find any more blank CDs, that was my last one.
[01:13] <jesse_> you guys r useless -.-
[01:13] <jesse_> thanks alot
[01:13] <jpmorgan> i did see the minimal CD thanks

[01:26] <nepas> IdleOne: He is shirleytoole
[01:26] <liquidmeson> lumaki, cool! there should be a read me in there on how to build,,... typically ./config && make && sudo make install         then you can test

[01:32] <liquidmeson> adilalpman, try alt-f2 ubuntuone-preferences
[01:33] <ka1ser> b43 is a somewhat reverse-enginnered driver... you might try a specific driver for your wifi card

[01:37] <adilalpman> wait pls
[01:37] <W43372> IdleOne: I'll fiddle around with it, I never thought of that. I just chose 'get more themes' and tooled around on that website that comes up
[01:37] <Tomcat025> Is there a way short of reinstalling Maverick to get my desktop settings, display settings et all to default?

[01:38] <adilalpman> liquidmeson : pls check http://paste.ubuntu.com/512781/
[01:38] <Jooder492> what is the diffrence between ubuntu server and ubuntu 10.10?
[01:39] <Tomcat025> server typically has no gui
[01:39] <Tomcat025> for one
[01:39] <sayo> omg
[01:39] <sayo> Jordan_U, bro thank you
[01:39] <RudyValencia> Server version is optimized for servers
[01:39] <W43372> IdleOne: /shrug I just switched back to the one I was using prior. The one I had wouldn't let me change my colors.
[01:39] <W43372> Thanks everybody
[01:39] <sayo> Jordan_U, worked like a charm, any idea why i had to fix the disk?

[01:40] <maruq> keep getting:  System information disabled due to load higher than 1

[01:40] <RudyValencia> ah, working okay so far

[01:40] <edugonch> Hello, does somebody know why phppgmyadmin is not working in 10.10 please
[01:40] <RudyValencia> I'll be back in a bit
[01:40] <adilalpman> liquidmeson:yes
[01:41] <maruq> shows up as roughly 1.20 in Ganglia
[01:41] <W43372> Wait, one more question. My laptop only has a half gig of RAM and I'm running Karmic. Is it expected that 77% of RAM is being used up by programs even when I'm not doing anything or is something screwy going on?
[01:41] <adilalpman> liquidmeson:i installed 1.2 days ago
[01:41] <adilalpman> 1-2
[01:41] <froodle> I updated to 10.10 from 10.04, and I noticed the applications menu nested some things differently.  E.g. the games menu had submenus for different genres.  After reboot it went back to previous theme.  How do I change it manually?

[01:42] <JodaZ> W43372, propably, you might want to try one of the lighter netbook flavoured *buntus

[01:42] <i_is_broke> jose__:  fail
[01:42] <jose__> yup ... totally fail
[01:43] <jose__> i'm just trying irssi
[01:43] <adilalpman> liquidmeson:can i im u?
[01:43] <Dulak> W43372: linux in general uses free ram for buffers to make things faster.  Drop to a terminal and type 'free'  you should see a line with buffers, that's free ram used to cache and make things faster
[01:43] <jzitt> Hmm. According to what people are saying when I find references in search, there should be something in the logon screen to let me choose between Unity and ubuntu-desktop. I'm just not seeing it. Wonder where it would be.
[01:43] <W43372> Jodaz: I'll take that into consideration. I'm trying to hold out until my next round of student loans after the new year to get a new machine
[01:43] <liquidmeson> adilalpman, you can pm me in a new window in irc?
[01:44] <adilalpman> ok
[01:44] <W43372> Dulak: Right now it says seventy-two percent in use by progs and sixteen percent as cache
[01:45] <W43372> Eitherway, thanks for the assistance tonight. I've got homework.
[01:45] <Dulak> W43372: that's about right for 512m of ram

[01:53] <jzitt> So the references say that I should "choose in GDM" whether I want Unity or the standard desktop. I'm assuming that the screen on which I log in is GDM, but the option still isn't there. Might I be logging in through something other than GDM?
[01:54] <UbuntuNoob> for some reason whenever i start my computer, under NetworkManager.state , NetworkingEnabled=false. How can i change this to be true on startup?
[01:54] <mattgyver> jzitt, i believe its referring to selecting Unity as the session you wish to launch from the gdm
[01:54] <uLinux> my keyboard bind alt + print is not working. how can i fix this
[01:55] <mattgyver> jzitt, at the bottom you should have a panel that has a sessions select box
[01:55] <jzitt> mattgyver: OK, I'll give it another look. Gonna log out and see if it's there, then log back in and return.
[01:56] <shafic> Can someone tell me how I launch a Java *.jar file?
[01:56] <mattgyver> shafic, i think its java -jar file.jar
[01:56] <mattgyver> shafic, yeah it is
[01:57] <ka1ser> that is correct mattgyver
[01:57] <shafic> mattgyver ka1ser: wonderful, thank you
[01:57] <mattgyver> uLinux, take a peek in Preferences>Keyboard shortcuts and see if you can fix it there, not sure anything else really
[01:58] <zoid> yawnnn
[01:58] <uLinux> mattgyver: already did :(
[01:59] <uLinux> mattgyver: maybe it's a keyboard layout problem
[01:59] <nikola> what is a command to make output like for example i type: xinput without option and argument  it gives me all options for "xinput", what is the command to make same result for command like ls
[01:59] <invisime> can someone point me in the direction of a good wireless troubleshooting document?
[01:59] <uLinux> mattgyver: because i press alt + print i just dont work
[01:59] <rockets> Has anybody been able to get Chrome's built in PDF plugin working? I still get the missing plugin error :(
[02:00] <mattgyver> rockets, I havent messed with that but Just print to file and select pdf
[02:00] <rockets> MatBoy, that's not at all what I'm talking about.
[02:00] <rockets> erm mattgyver ^
[02:00] <UbuntuNoob> help
[02:00] <jzitt> mattgyver: At the bottom of the logon screen I saw an icon for Universal Access settings, the time and date, and an icon for Shutdown Options. What do I do to choose the different desktop?
[02:01] <mattgyver> jzitt, you should have a sessions selection too but its possible it only appears if you have more than one desktop environment installed
[02:01] <mattgyver> jzitt, can you link me to the reference you were looking at previously?
[02:01] <uLinux> mattgyver: if there is a error where what log should i check?
[02:02] <mattgyver> nikola, man <package> or info <package> should give you detailed information for packages if thats what your trying to figure out
[02:02] <yh> 这
[02:03] <jzitt> mattgyver: Nothing on going *from* Unity *to* ubuntu-desktop, but several the other way, such as http://www.ubuntugeek.com/new-unity-release-ready-for-testing-in-ubuntu-10-1010-04.html
[02:03] <shauno> uLinux: alt+printscreen not working is a known bug, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/metacity/+bug/642792
[02:04] <Dulak> jzitt: logout, choose gnome as the session instead of unity, you are no longer using unity
[02:04] <shauno> the short version is that the sysrq functionality in the keyboard is eating it before it gets to X (may be specific to some layouts, oddly)
[02:04] <jzitt> Dulak: the question is: How do I choose gnome as the seeion instead of Unity?
[02:04] <uLinux> shauno: ty
[02:04] <Dulak> jzitt: from the session dropdown box on the login page
[02:05] <Guest82593> hi guys someone have driver for video sis mirage?
[02:05] <RudyValencia> OK, my system crashed. I have a trace in syslog.
[02:05] <RudyValencia> (b43 wireless crashed as I expected)
[02:05] <jzitt> Dulak: As far as I can tell, there is no session dropdown box on the login page.
[02:05] <Guest82593> someone there?
[02:05] <nikola> mattgyver, i find info and man too long for some short info i need.i want as simple as possible list of all options for specific command , similar to one when you give a command that require options, and if you dont give option, it gives short list of options that go with that commansd, similar if you just type xinput
[02:05] <westmi> jzitt, should be there
[02:06] <Dulak> jzitt: click your login name, at the bottom you should see a sessions button or dropdown box appear
[02:06] <RudyValencia> ka1ser: what do I do now that I'm back after b43 crashing
[02:06] <Guest94654> I can't see a the whole message in a window.  Here's part of it though... "It is impossible to install or remove any software.  Us the package manager synaptic or run sudo apt-get install" and then I can't see anymore
[02:06] <Dulak> jzitt: it only shows up once you select a user, since it is user specific
[02:06] <mattgyver> nikola, yeah ive never seen a program to do quite that, some commands if you execute them it will give you just the options but not all
[02:06] <jzitt> Dulak: Are you saying that the sutton appears only after I click on my name?
[02:07] <westmi> yep

[02:09] <RudyValencia> sacarlson: that's what b43-fwcutter installed - those two packages
[02:09] <westmi> did ya use synaptic?
[02:09] <IdleOne> MarkSS: the package name is openssh-client
[02:09] <IdleOne> not an underscore
[02:09] <RudyValencia> westmi: me?
[02:09] <westmi> no
[02:10] <silbak04> if you guys would like you can check out my blog on here silbak04.blogspot.com
[02:10] <silbak04> thanks
[02:10] <RudyValencia> The problem is gone if I use ndiswrapper
[02:10] <UbuntuNoob> can someone help to resolve my issue
[02:10] <BugeyeD> hi all. can anyone describe how rhythmbox knows whether to display the 'record to cd' button when a playlist is selected?
[02:11] <bjv> Is there an Xorg tool, or wrapper that will modify an X app - so the mouse cursor cannot leave the app? maybe until a modifer key is pressed
[02:11] <K-Rich> Can anyone tell me how to get ANSI emulation to work for telnet BBSes. i got color, but the characters are not right, even after trying an ASCII character TTF
[02:11] <sacarlson> RudyValencia: did you make it all the way to step 3b?
[02:11] <K-Rich> using gnome-terminal
[02:11] <nikola> UbuntuNoob, you should just ask
[02:11] <RudyValencia> I let it do the installation itslef
[02:11] <RudyValencia> *itself
[02:12] <UbuntuNoob> i have. on startup, my laptop has network manager turned off
[02:12] <bjv> i'd like to run this game in a window - but control is difficult w/ the cursor running out
[02:13] <bjv> i'd like to capture the cursor to within one window
[02:13] <sacarlson> RudyValencia: if you could get synaptic or apt-get do it itself they wouldn't have wrote that artical
[02:13] <westmi> UbuntuNoob, did ya do all your updates?
[02:13] <UbuntuNoob> if i go to gksu gedit /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state, NetworkingEnabled=false. every time, i have to turn it to true, save it, and reboot for it to take effect, and it only lasts for one power up
[02:13] <RudyValencia> so how do I do it again the right way?
[02:14] <RudyValencia> just follow the directions?
[02:14] <UbuntuNoob> doing so now
[02:14] <UbuntuNoob> brb
[02:17] <jzitt> Dulak: Thanks, that worked. None of the pages that I searched aid that the setting appears only after you select the user, which is one logical way to do it, but only obvious in retrospect.
[02:17] <finalblogger> hi
[02:17] <finalblogger> to all

[02:19] <finalblogger> thanks liquid but i aksed for free:)
[02:20] <RudyValencia-> I'm watching syslog from another terminal while downloading the Ubuntu ISO
[02:20] <nikola> finalblogger, there on that link you have a lot free learning books, i am atm reading introduction to linux. pdf
[02:20] <finalblogger> thanks buddy
[02:20] <liquidmeson_> finalblogger, http://ubuntu-manual.org/ also has a pdf if your ereader can read em
[02:21] <mattgyver> uLinux, do you need to kill it just once, or on every boot?
[02:21] <uLinux> mattgyver: every
[02:22] <finalblogger> thanks liquid
[02:22] <uLinux> mattgyver: i tried "sudo rcconf" "sudo update-rc.d -f cups remove"
[02:22] <ChogyDan> uLinux: why are you trying to disable cups?
[02:22] <RudyValencia> let's see if our issue is resolved
[02:22] <mgmuscari> i want to cross-compile toward arm - what packages do i need to do this?
[02:23] <uLinux> ChogyDan: cause i dont need it
[02:23] <mattgyver> uLinux, someone may need to correct me if im wrong but I think you can remove from /etc/rc2.d/ your cups init script, its probably something like S50cups
[02:23] <Kage> Hey, I installed Kubuntu from a DVD and it seems that the DVD contained packages for every language known to man
[02:23] <Sickler> can someone shine some light on libdvdcss, is it legal in the u.s? is this just on linux or all OS's
[02:23] <Kage> I am upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10
[02:23] <Kage> Is there a way I can choose to redownload 500 language packs?
[02:23] <mattgyver> well, removing the symlink that is, not the script itself
[02:23] <Kage> or something
[02:23] <mgmuscari> i specifically want libc
[02:23] <ka1ser> codesourcery toolchains is a good one mgmuscari =)
[02:24] <liquidmeson_> mgmuscari, http://www.ailis.de/~k/archives/19-ARM-cross-compiling-howto.html
[02:24] <VisualAssassin> how do i change the backgrounds on the other workspaces without it changing all of them?
[02:24] <ChogyDan> mattgyver: uLinux: it is /etc/init/cups.conf I believe
[02:24] <uLinux> mattgyver: K00cups
[02:24] <mgmuscari> ka1ser: thanks... any idea what the package name for the arm version of libc is?
[02:24] <ka1ser> mattgyver I think it is better to remove it with update-rc.d
[02:24] <Sickler> can someone shine some light on libdvdcss, is it legal in the u.s? is this just on linux or all OS's... I am asking bc I am unsure if I should install
[02:24] <glauce> I cant install software from kubuntu dvd, when the system is installed in hdd.
[02:25] <mgmuscari> ka1ser: i'm actually already using devkitpro - but i need to get at some of the libc stuff that isn't included in it (specifically sys/select.h, maybe some others...)
[02:25] <mattgyver> ChogyDan, thats the conf file though, im specifically talking about the init script that is fired off on boot which points to /init.d/cups
[02:25] <sacarlson> Sickler: the software is legal but what you do with it might not be.  you can copy your own personal dvd disks like famaly video. just not copywrited stuf
[02:25] <ChogyDan> Sickler: it is illegal to play DVDs in the US without paying a license fee
[02:26] <liquidmeson_> mgmuscari, this might be better, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1087057
[02:26] <sacarlson> ChogyDan: you mean if I create a DVD and make it gnu (free) people in usa still have to pay a licencse fee?
[02:27] <mgmuscari> liquidmeson_: thanks
[02:27] <mgmuscari> i just came across dietlibc
[02:27] <mgmuscari> which looks like it can target arm
[02:27] <mgmuscari> i'm going to try linking against it
[02:27] <ChogyDan> sacarlson: nah, only if the encoding is hollywood encrypted
[02:27] <Sickler> sacarlson: ChogyDan: not concerned with copy, ripping, pirating. Thats not my cup of tea. But if i play a netflex movie on my computer with or a new simpsons dvd i bought.... these are clear of legal dilemmas
[02:27] <ChogyDan> sacarlson: encryption*
[02:28] <finalblogger> ok guys one more question..i want to see Social Network (movie) for free...any links
[02:28] <finalblogger> :)
[02:28] <linux_is_my_hero> how do i get adobe flash player 10 for chromium?
[02:28] <rww> !piracy
[02:28] <sacarlson> ChogyDan: you might be right about that.  maybe there is other methods of encryption you could use like divx
[02:28] <mgmuscari> lol for a second i thought that piracy message was directed at the guy looking for flash player
[02:28] <phoenix_> hello heres my problem. When playing flash games certain keyes don't work, such as the asdfg. Please helped i have installed two different linuxes with the same result
[02:28] <finalblogger> i am scared
[02:29] <sacarlson> ChogyDan: divx still plays in my dvd player
[02:29] <invisime> I am trying to help my friend's wireless card work on meerkat.
[02:29] <invisime> lshw -C network shows the device as disabled.
[02:29] <liquidmeson_> finalblogger, http://vodo.net/ even better
[02:29] <invisime> however, the connectivity icon in the tray indicates that the hardware button is turned on.
[02:29] <bcessa> hi there, I've a little prob here, I know that using the sticky bit on a directory (g+s) cause every file and dir created inside of it inherit the parent group, question: is there something like that but for the user? I mean, making the files and dirs inherit the user stuff?
[02:30] <phoenix_> so im new and nobody even helps :'(
[02:30] <invisime> the troubleshooting guide leads me in circles at this point.
[02:30] <ka1ser> mgmuscari just give codesourcery a try... we use it at TI all the time without problems... it has libc and everything
[02:30] <finalblogger> leme see
[02:30] <finalblogger> :)
[02:30] <mattgyver> linux_is_my_hero, enable partner repo in System>Administration>Software Sources>Other Software and then install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:30] <invisime> she's using an AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (from Atheros).
[02:31] <seismicmike> hey guys, today in the middle of the afternoon, Google Chrome just decided to stop working. It died and then when I tried to start it back up, it would open a window and immediately close it. After repeated attempts and attempted re-installs it doesn't even open a window at all now. I checked the error logs and I'm getting a bunch of these: "chrome[9674]: segfault at aed3ebf2 ip ad92ccec sp bf949e80 error 6 in IcedTeaP
[02:31] <seismicmike> lugin.so[ad925000+2e000]". I'd say it's a bug in the current version of chrome except I've tried both unstable and stable and I hadn't updated chrome when this started. It's weird. Searching google didn't turn up anything useful. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know what could cause it? How to fix it? Thanks.
[02:31] <mattgyver> linux_is_my_hero, you can always install from adboe's site, i think it fires apt which walks you through the same thing too
[02:31] <ne7work> hello all please someone tell me from where can I learning php on very good level. :)
[02:31] <uLinux> mattgyver: there is a /etc/init/cups.conf maybe i can use that?
[02:32] <glauce> where the files are stored on ubuntu dvd?
[02:32] <mattgyver> uLinux, yeah if it has an option to disable on startup you could i guess, im not sure
[02:32] <uLinux> mattgyver: it says "start on (filesystem"
[02:33] <uLinux> i'll try "never"
[02:33] <ChogyDan> uLinux: just comment out that start on lines
[02:33] <uLinux> with # right
[02:33] <sacarlson> invisime: I'm not sure but that might use the same driver that this article has a solution for http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=982808......This
[02:33] <bcessa> nobody?
[02:33] <ChogyDan> uLinux: ya
[02:35] <uLinux> ChogyDan: check http://pastebin.com/6af7uHvT
[02:35] <sacarlson> ne7work: php like any other language for me I like to look at example code.  each time I hit something I can't do in it I google it.
[02:35] <keith2> Well, new install of Ubuntu 10.10 looks to be going well, no problems
[02:36] <liquidmeson_> keith2, well thats lame, we can't exactly help you with that now can we....
[02:36] <sacarlson> ne7work: languages are all similar so depending on what languages you already know that would depend
[02:37] <RudyValencia> OK it crashed again.
[02:37] <alpha232> All Hail routing gods.. I have a server with two uplinks, I need to ensure that traffic coming in, returns back on the same interface.
[02:37] <RudyValencia> I was trying to copy a file from a local Samba share when it panicked
[02:37] <ka1ser> RudyValencia: thats sad to read
[02:37] <RudyValencia> What do I do
[02:37] <LinuxGuy2009> I just created a repository disc with APTonCD that contains the four main desktop environments, and I tried "sudo apt-cdrom add" and it fails. Ive done this in Debian stable and it works fine so I know what Im doing. Is this an APTonCD bug or a core system bug.
[02:38] <seismicmike> oh wait... might have answered my own question..... I uninstalled the icedtea plugin and now it's working.... anyone know what the icedtea plugin is and why it would cause this?
[02:38] <RudyValencia> What do I do? Switch to ndiswrapper?
[02:38] <mattgyver> seismicmike, icedtea i think is basically an open source java plugin
[02:39] <ka1ser> RudyValencia: you can try it and if it works fine for you then I don't see why you can not use it
[02:39] <plum> hey guys
[02:39] <ChogyDan> LinuxGuy2009: I think I've seen that bug before
[02:39] <RudyValencia> It works with ndiswrapper AFAIK
[02:39] <RudyValencia> last time I tried it did
[02:39] <seismicmike> hmmmm, maybe that was recently updated..... no... I did a grep "icedtea" /var/log/apt/history.log and the only entries are from when I just removed it.
[02:40] <RudyValencia> how do I report the error to Ubuntu?
[02:40] <seismicmike> seems quite odd to me that it would start in the middle of the afternoon......
[02:40] <plum> I can't see my Applications dropdown. i've just updated to 10.10.
[02:40] <plum> I have CompizConfig installed, if that helps with my problem :s
[02:40] <plum> Can someone help me with this?
[02:40] <ka1ser> you might want to check also you have no other wireless driver running which might cause conflict...
[02:40] <RudyValencia> I don't
[02:40] <ka1ser> also, that you are running latest version of b43
[02:40] <RudyValencia> b43 is part of the kernel
[02:41] <RudyValencia> and I'm using 2.6.32-25 (the latest Lucid kernel)
[02:41] <ka1ser> and what is the error you are getting?
[02:41] <brick_> hi, if I already installed "Ubuntu Restricted 'blabla'" Do I need to install "KUbuntu Restricted" also?
[02:41] <liquidmeson_> alpha232, sudo iftop -i eth0 and eth1 in another terminal
[02:41] <brick_> hi, if I already installed "Ubuntu Restricted 'blabla'" Do I need to install "KUbuntu Restricted" also? Service Packs..
[02:41] <seismicmike> plum, first thing I'd do is right click on the desktop and click "Change Desktop Background" then go to Visual Effects and set it to None
[02:41] <RudyValencia> ka1ser: I'll pastebin
[02:41] <finalblogger> guys when i boot my laptop it gives me so many options although i just have Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 ..how to get rid of all that?

[02:41] <eros_> boa noite pessoal
[02:42] <eros_> alguem pode me ajudar?
[02:42] <seismicmike> that will at least establish a baseline that will allow you to open your menu. From there try to re-enable your compiz features and see if that takes care of it
[02:42] <seismicmike> this is assuming you're on gnome.

[02:48] <AegNuddel> brick_, no.  Kubuntu is based on Ubuntu, but is not the same, so you do not need the Kubuntu package
[02:48] <Gnea> dizko, when did it quit working? when you used it? or did you turn the system on and kept it on the ubuntu system?
[02:48] <brick_> ok
[02:49] <brick_> Thank you AegNuddel and mattgyver for your responses
[02:49] <dizko> i tried booting with it, with it set to the ubuntu machine since power-on

Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry."
[02:54] <Gnea> dizko, oh dear... a belkin.... throw that garbage away and get an iogear or something else....
[02:54] <Privacy0> Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?
[02:54] <Gnea> dizko, no, I'm serious, belkin kvms suck
[02:54] <phoenix_> coughs *hello*
[02:54] <phoenix_> um...
[02:54] <dizko> gnea: well it works fine, seems like ubuntu 10.10 is what needs to go in the garbage, this is one of several things which stopped working ;)
[02:54] <uLinux> another prob omg.. "sudo: unable to resolve host localhost.localdomain"
[02:55] <phoenix_> how do i do the cough thingy.
[02:55] <liquidmeson_> froodle, alt-f2 alacarte
[02:55] <RudyValencia> ka1ser: http://pastebin.com/ep2cLnrb
[02:55] <Gnea> dizko, no, belkin has made faulty kvms for years, it's a well-known fact

[02:55] <^DEMOSS^> i wanna do a server on linux
[02:55] <phoenix_> how do i cough like *cough cough*
[02:55] <Thetim> does anybody knows Aero Snap
[02:55] <dizko> gnea: that may be the case, but this isnt the kvm's fault as it works fine in the previous release of ubuntu as well was with windows
[02:56] <AegNuddel> Despite my best efforts the game has been hacked again and user accounts have been deleted again. I am reviewing the situation.
[02:56] <AegNuddel> hmm
[02:56] <Gnea> dizko, but then, if it was working on an LTS release and broke on a release deisgned for breaking things in mind..
[02:56] <AegNuddel> looks like things are messed up in game
[02:56] <phoenix_> yeah thats not the problem it works with my windows just fine
[02:56] <liquidmeson_> froodle, or xfce4-menueditor
[02:56] <AegNuddel> type /me coughs
[02:56] <Kage2> It would be awesome if I could see packages that I have requested to be installed so I don't have to shift though 2000 dependencys
[02:56]  * phoenix_ coughs hello
[02:56] <dizko> gnea: im just trying to find out if there is some method of troubleshooting / debugging i might undertake which could help me identify what is the issue
[02:56]  * chris_ coughs silently 
[02:56] <^DEMOSS^> =)
[02:57] <Gnea> dizko, with belkin, I'm not sure, it's just had a history of not working right with linux
[02:57] <dizko> that what i cant proceed to troubleshoot the various other things which stopped working ;)
[02:57] <Pilif12p> What's the best way to update perl?
[02:57] <phoenix_> aegnuddel could you logg into the game as a guest and try the buttons
[02:57] <froodle> liquidmeson_, k, it's open.  I see the submenus on the left, but there's no option to force the Applications menu to sort them.
[02:57] <techbreak> how to update grub? which version of grub is lates?
[02:57] <techbreak> latest*
[02:57] <Gnea> Pilif12p, the same way you update any other installed package on the system
[02:58] <phoenix_> i feel like taking my computer and smashing it on the ground then using my soldering iron and taking out every solder in my computer right now...

[02:58] <mgmuscari> i need to install the arm version of dietlibc, but when i install the dietlibc package, it only includes the libraries that are compiled for x86_64.... how can i get the arm libraries?? btw, trying to build dietlibc from scratch fails due to certain memory security settings in ubuntu
[02:58] <Gnea> phoenix_, awesome, gonna build a new tower out of it?
[02:58] <dizko> tsolox: good lord why =(
[02:58] <liquidmeson_> froodle, yah its manual :/ you could try looking in the home folder and deleting some of the .gconf folders to reset settings
[02:59] <uLinux> if i type hostname shows "localhost.localdomain" but in "/etc/hostname" is the one i want..
[02:59] <liquidmeson_> froodle, i'm assuming you've been upgrading since ubuntu alpha or something
[02:59] <^DEMOSS^> i am true russian lol-man )) i wanna do on a linux many interesting free project for EDU )))
[02:59] <AegNuddel> I tried
[02:59] <phoenix_> Gnea could you go onto disputed galaxy and log in as guest then try to press S then enter
[02:59] <xrfang> I periodically get "GPU Hung" error (system freeze, and switch to console see that message), using kubuntu 10.10. is there any reported cases & solutions? thanks
[02:59] <A|pHA_six3> rww: wanted to have some fun ;)

[03:01] <phoenix_> -.- i feel like nobody knows what im going through right now... i feel alone, unable to chat with my fellow friends on my game
[03:01] <phoenix_> um i think im 64 let me check how do i check

[03:02] <AegNuddel> just weird
[03:02] <liquidmeson_> phoenix_, in terminal type uname -a look for 64
[03:03] <^DEMOSS^> phoenix_  never say THAT word here !!!
[03:03] <JoeCoolMobile> When I updated to 1010 I can only boot into a text only interface
[03:03] <rww> Pilif12p: Please feel free to ignore ^DEMOSS^, they're being a little overenthusiastic.
[03:03] <rww> sorry, mistab
[03:03] <rww> phoenix_: ^^^
[03:03] <linux_is_my_hero> how do i install my flash plugin?
[03:03] <phoenix_> Gnea, um steam game??
[03:03] <mattgyver> linux_is_my_hero, did my previous instructions?
[03:04] <tsolox> if an ubuntu install hangs on the language selection part, what's the next step to do?
[03:04] <mattgyver> linux_is_my_hero, did you try*
[03:04] <phoenix_> Does THAT word start with a w
[03:04] <linux_is_my_hero> mattgyver: it didn't work.
[03:04] <Gnea> phoenix_, nevermind
[03:04] <linux_is_my_hero> mattgyver: it says it is already installed
[03:04] <^DEMOSS^> rww ok ))
[03:04] <mattgyver> linux_is_my_hero, what browser are you using?
[03:04] <dizko> Gnea: the built-in synaptics pointing devices on my notebook work in the live installer, but don't show up at all after install.  are those also considered to be unworthy of continued support with ubuntu ?
[03:04] <linux_is_my_hero> mattgyver: chromium
[03:04] <mattgyver> linux_is_my_hero, by chance is it working in firefox?
[03:05] <linux_is_my_hero> mattgyver: i don't even have firefox anymore
[03:05] <liquidmeson_> for flash in 64ubuntu http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/install-64bit-flash-from-a-ppa-or-deb/
[03:05] <AegNuddel> never say THAT word?  What word?
[03:05] <Privacy0> i feel like taking drugs
[03:06] <^DEMOSS^> i have one quetion..... why all use  ubuntu and repair more canonical sh*t if you can use Debian and do not have problem ??
[03:06] <ka1ser> RudyValencia: you might want to check this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586967
[03:06] <phoenix_> ok this is what came up when i typed uname -a      phoenix@Hal:~$ uname -a

[03:06] <liquidmeson_> ^DEMOSS^, more polish
[03:06] <hmca> mattgyver: going for kde-full on my natty
[03:06] <mattgyver> ^DEMOSS^, Because ubuntu is based on unstable and is cutting edge?
[03:06] <^DEMOSS^> Yes - Unstable
[03:06] <rww> ^DEMOSS^: Please don't use cusswords, even obfuscated ones. Additionally, drop the attitude.
[03:07] <R0B0G3N3S1S> kkk here i am
[03:07] <Gnea> dizko, hard to say, but the main Ubuntu releases are moving in a direction away from older hardware
[03:07] <R0B0G3N3S1S> I'm back
[03:07] <^DEMOSS^> cusswords = bad words ? or tipe as Debian and other ?
[03:07] <rww> ^DEMOSS^: bad words
[03:07] <Seeker`> ^DEMOSS^: This is getting offtopic for here
[03:07] <dizko> its a brand new device
[03:07] <^DEMOSS^> ok - thnx
[03:08] <mattgyver> ^DEMOSS^, you pay a little more to sit first class ;)
[03:08]  * R0B0G3N3S1S coughs *BS*
[03:08] <gurjeet> I have wasted 2 CDs and an equal number of hours on this. I downloaded the 10.10 64 bit and after burning the MD5 of /casper/filesystem.squashfs does not match. The MD5 of the iso matches that on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes . This is ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[03:08] <Gnea> R0B0G3N3S1S, never heard of this game before, looks kinda cool actually... do you play it in a browser?
[03:08] <Seeker`> R0B0G3N3S1S: what?
[03:08] <^DEMOSS^> mattgyver ?? rephrase that
[03:08] <R0B0G3N3S1S> yes i do play it in a browser gnea
[03:08] <ka1ser> see ya
[03:09] <^DEMOSS^> mattgyver i am russian system administrator ) but in this night i have more fun in my work ))
[03:09] <Gnea> R0B0G3N3S1S, I wish my ubuntu installation didn't get hosed earlier, I'd confirm that it works or not... it's working fine in xp :/
[03:10] <^DEMOSS^> and i like this channel.... if i can - i help pple here and in ubuntu-ru
[03:10] <gurjeet> I have wasted 2 CDs and an equal number of hours on this. I downloaded the 10.10 64 bit and after burning, the MD5 of /casper/filesystem.squashfs does not match. The MD5 of the iso matches that on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes . This is ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso
[03:10] <gurjeet> ^DEMOSS^: help me then ;)
[03:10] <mattgyver> ^DEMOSS^, the point i was trying to make is that theres a price you pay for everything that is good :)
[03:11] <R0B0G3N3S1S> yeah same with me but my friggin xp hardrive went dead
[03:11] <linux_is_my_hero> liquidmeson_: THANKS! :-) it worked
[03:11] <^DEMOSS^> if you have not valid MD5 - you must reload torrent file whith iso - and bern new CD or DVD- RW disk
[03:12] <linux_is_my_hero> oh no, not windows...
[03:12] <linux_is_my_hero> what are you going to do?
[03:12] <R0B0G3N3S1S> it is ubuntu hey everybody how do i report a problem
[03:12] <linux_is_my_hero> :-(
[03:12] <mikeru> hey, due to a bug in maverick's installation program it wiped out my friend's laptop harddrive
[03:12] <rww> !bug
[03:12] <mikeru> he doesn't want to recover the stuff anymore (thanks WZX)
[03:12] <mikeru> but he wants to install windows 7
[03:12] <bobthemilkman> Okay, here's my problem. I want to mount a USB drive over the LAN using sshfs to my local filesystem. However, it appears as though I require root access to view that folder.  My ssh account is in the sudoers file on that computer. How can I do this?
[03:12] <AHemlocksLie> I'm having some trouble with my wifi using p54pci. Anyone have any experience/ideas in this area?
[03:12] <^DEMOSS^> why rw ??? - becouse they have good and fat layer
[03:12] <liquidmeson_> gurjeet, cd /media/cdrom0 && md5sum -c md5sum.txt  in a terminal
[03:12] <mikeru> how do I install 7 without installing again ubuntu
[03:13] <^DEMOSS^> and if you have trouble whith that - you may rewrite bad iso
[03:13] <PryMaL> mikeru: do you mena win 7?
[03:13] <gurjeet> liquidmeson_: Thats what is failing... it says: md5sum: ./casper/filesystem.squashfs: Input/output error
[03:13] <mikeru> PryMaL, exactly
[03:13] <liquidmeson_> gurjeet, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[03:14] <test34> demossed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[03:14] <PryMaL> mikeru: virtualbox-ose is your friend!
[03:14] <mikeru> PryMaL, noes!
[03:14] <R0B0G3N3S1S> ok idk what the package is that the bug is in... would it be root??
[03:14] <mikeru> he wants not virtualization
[03:14] <liquidmeson_> dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=1 count=732766208 | md5sum where count = iso size
[03:14] <mikeru> he wants dual-booting
[03:14]  * AegNuddel cries at the thought of W7
[03:14] <^DEMOSS^> gurjeet reload iso and bern it on new CD-DVD-RW disk
[03:14] <AegNuddel> that OS stinks... I HAVE tried it
[03:14] <nanotaboada> hello everyone, may someone help me with compiz?
[03:14] <gurjeet> liquidmeson_: I am following those exact instructions. md5sum -c md5sum.txt | grep -v "OK$"
[03:14] <PryMaL> I have to run winblows @ work :|
[03:14] <R0B0G3N3S1S> ........ ..... ...... ..... ...... i feel abandoned
[03:15] <lewis1711> hmm I am noticing very slow visual responses in ubuntu 10.10. I am using the fglrx driver. Anybody have any clue on how to diagnose this? I did not have the same problem using fglrx/catalyst in arch
[03:15] <liquidmeson_> gurjeet, dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=1 count=732766208 | md5sum   instead...where count = iso size
[03:15] <^DEMOSS^> AegNuddel That OS is for FUN ))
[03:15] <R0B0G3N3S1S> windblows sux
[03:15] <R0B0G3N3S1S> gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodddddddddddddddddddddd im gonna reinstall windows
[03:15] <gurjeet> liquidmeson_: let me try that too.
[03:15] <R0B0G3N3S1S> good bye
[03:15] <^DEMOSS^> =)
[03:15] <^DEMOSS^> yeah
[03:15] <manu__> hey
[03:15] <^DEMOSS^> install debian
[03:15] <AegNuddel> ^DEMOSS^, your idea of fun must be different from mine
[03:15] <Pilif12p> ..anybody?
[03:15] <lewis1711> infact it's slow in general. right now gnome-system-monitor consumes 550mhz
[03:15] <R0B0G3N3S1S> windblows installation started
[03:15] <liquidmeson_> R0B0G3N3S1S, imokaywiththis.jpg
[03:15] <rigved> hi everyone
[03:15] <^DEMOSS^> AegNuddel use debian
[03:16] <daniel__> hello
[03:16] <R0B0G3N3S1S> liquidmeson... thayt failed
[03:16] <manu__> anyone here who can help me with setting boot records?
[03:16] <nanotaboada> I've distro upgraded to Meerkat, enabled Compiz PPA, after rebooting my compositing is gone :(
[03:16] <R0B0G3N3S1S> blaahabalahh lflaf afndlkaj
[03:16] <R0B0G3N3S1S> goo byd
[03:16] <Gnea> R0B0G3N3S1S, this game looks okay.... but it doesn't do anything
[03:16] <rigved> i have installed QEMU on my Ubuntu 10.04 and I have downloaded the Linux-2.6.35.7 source code
[03:16] <R0B0G3N3S1S> gnea you have to do missions
[03:16] <^DEMOSS^> When you have more  things and knowloges about Linux - you may go to repair Ubuntu and build new good distro
[03:16] <R0B0G3N3S1S> then you can go and kick some other ppls arsses
[03:16] <mikeru> AegNuddel, it's a dark necessity
[03:17] <AHemlocksLie> windows 7 isn't too bad, but I had some stability issues. I also pirated it, though, so you sorta get what you pay for >_>
[03:17] <AegNuddel> ^DEMOSS^, why?  IMO You're a troll, recommending other OSes in an Ubuntu channel
[03:17] <rigved> how to i install this Linux-2.6.35.7 to a virtual machine in QEMU
[03:17] <rigved> ?
[03:17] <^DEMOSS^> i an not troll
[03:17] <Gnea> R0B0G3N3S1S, I selected a mission, it highlights a square, but I can't do anything. i look at the controls howto, they don't work. it's the game that's broken, not ubuntu.
[03:17] <mikeru> QEMU? people still use that?
[03:17] <RudyValencia> OK I see what's wrong
[03:17] <AegNuddel> AHemlocksLie, even if you do pay, you WILL have the issues
[03:17] <manu__> heeeelllppp_
[03:17] <RudyValencia> apparently my WiFi and Ethernet on this laptop conflict.
[03:17] <nanotaboada> can anyone help me reinstalling Compiz?
[03:17] <^DEMOSS^> AegNuddel i use debian on server and ubuntu in my ASUS k60IC
[03:17] <rigved> mikeru: what should i use instead?
[03:17] <Gnea> AegNuddel, some OS's are better for some functions better than others
[03:17] <manu__> how do i set the boot record under the terminal
[03:17] <R0B0G3N3S1S> did you try to click on the arrows then click on the windows and then click on the arrows.. cause it works for me to move
[03:17] <RudyValencia> *sigh* I guess I have to dig up a WiFi Cardbus card.
[03:18] <william_> wow are we busy tonight.  i have a client that has downloaded a tar.gz an azurelea something  how is that installed via aptitude
[03:18] <rigved> mikeru: virtualbox...?
[03:18] <RudyValencia> I hate having to use a card but eh
[03:18] <Gnea> R0B0G3N3S1S, there are no arrows, just little triangles
[03:18] <mikeru> rigved, AFAIK VirtualBox is faster
[03:18] <liquidmeson_> william_, for tar.gz files you have to extract them to a folder
[03:18] <mikeru> and much better. I mean, QEMU doesn't even have a GUI
[03:18] <manu__> can anyone tell me how to set boot records under linux?
[03:18] <AegNuddel> Gnea, ok sure, but for my purposes I have found Winblows inadequate.
[03:18] <^DEMOSS^> AegNuddel see how working debian - i can say, that if you wanna work and relax - use debian.... Wanna get fun and repair errors  for every update - use Ubuntu
[03:18] <rigved> mikeru: ok, i have that too
[03:18] <mikeru> sure, it may have some frontends, but those just wrap around the command line interface and suck
[03:19] <gurjeet> liquidmeson_: All those methods are just different ways of verifying MD5, so I guess if 1 fails we can assume the disk is actually bad.. isn't it?
[03:19] <PryMaL> manu__: you looking for your boot sequence? ie grub.
[03:19] <liquidmeson_> william_, then look for a install help file
[03:19] <R0B0G3N3S1S> no direction pad????? on your keyboard
[03:19] <manu__> no
[03:19] <rigved> mikeru: but i do not know to install Linux-2.6.35.7 into a virtual machine crated under VirtualBox
[03:19] <mikeru> rigved, as for installing that specific kernel version...
[03:19] <Gnea> AegNuddel, yeah, I'm just using it in the interim until I get ubuntu working again... schoolwork tends to take priority hehe
[03:19] <R0B0G3N3S1S> gnea on your keyboard
[03:19] <PryMaL> mikeru: best thign I have found with virtualbox is that you can allow or NOT allow the VM to have control of certain hardware
[03:19] <liquidmeson_> gurjeet, the last method is the best method and the other methods won't work
[03:19] <mikeru> PryMaL, virtualbox is teh best
[03:20] <manu__> @przmal i have windows 7 on sda1 and unluck set boot record to sda3
[03:20] <Gnea> R0B0G3N3S1S, yeah, they don't do anything. nothing happens on the screen.
[03:20] <manu__> need windows for work :(
[03:20] <AegNuddel> see him trry and talk to me now
[03:20] <AegNuddel> try
[03:20] <william_> liquidmeson: which i did extract so is it the install help file that will give instructions or that is what I aptitude install
[03:20] <R0B0G3N3S1S> it does for me... did you click the game screem>< this bums me out
[03:20] <PryMaL> manu__: so you want to dual boot? ie. windows OR linux?
[03:20] <AegNuddel> talk down to me, get the treatment you deseve.
[03:20] <manu__> sorry for wrong spelling keyboard is set wierd
[03:20] <AegNuddel> deserve.
[03:20] <AHemlocksLie> aegnuddel: maybe, but I think there's something wrong with the hardware in that comp. I think it's the power supply's too weak, so the added graphics polish ups the load on the graphics card, which ups the load on the supply, so poof, power cycle
[03:21] <gurjeet> liquidmeson_: you mean `md5sum -c md5sums.txt` is not reliable?
[03:21] <liquidmeson_> gurjeet, even if it fails you could always try installing anyway, or you could make a live usb instead of live cd! instructions on the ubuntu.com site
[03:21] <rigved> mikeru: ok...but is there some option under virtualbox which allow me to install the basic linux-2.6.35.7
[03:21] <liquidmeson_> gurjeet, well... that should work... :(
[03:21] <mikeru> rigved, what's the use of a kernel without userland?
[03:21] <A|pHA_six3> really hates using live dvds
[03:21] <AegNuddel> AHemlocksLie, what computer?  I don't know anything about that game and this is the first time I have even looked at it
[03:22] <lewis1711> how can I check what cpu scaling ubuntu is using for my processor? is there a file it's located in?
[03:22] <liquidmeson_> william_, there are a few ways to install stuff, the best way is to search for it in the ubuntu software center
[03:22] <rigved> mikeru: i want to understand kernel programming, so i want to test it under a virtual machine
[03:22] <manu__> @PryMal should be the mbr
[03:22] <R0B0G3N3S1S> nooooooooooooooooooooooooo i loved the game... now it's single player
[03:22] <AHemlocksLie> anyone have experience with getting laptop wireless card Netgear WG511 to work?
[03:22] <mikeru> rigved, you need a way to interface with the kernel
[03:22] <AHemlocksLie> I have the windows drivers, but ndiswrapper refuses to function, so I got p54pci to work, and it does to a degree, but I'm getting a lot of connection issues
[03:22] <AHemlocksLie> aaand judging by how quiet it is, I'm having more of those issues now
[03:22] <liquidmeson_> william_, tar.gz files are old school install from scratch, if you can find a .deb file it is the same as a .exe on windows aka easy
[03:22] <william_> liquidmeson: and where is that found.  we did the add remove and it did not pick up the app
[03:23] <retry> I just updated from 9.10 to 10.4 (lts)...the old kernel works the new kernel boots up with no display.  What could be the problem?
[03:23] <mikeru> rigved, now, if you already have a distro installed, AFAIK you just compile the kernel inside it and install it
[03:23] <manu__> I want to boot windows on sda1 current record is sda3
[03:23] <Gnea> R0B0G3N3S1S, seriously, none of the keys on mykeyboard are doing anything to the game to make it react
[03:23] <liquidmeson_> william_, what are you installing, if i might ask?
[03:23] <rigved> mikeru, yes and but also a way to test new things without hurting my system
[03:23] <manu__> @PryMal:I want to boot windows on sda1 current record is sda3
[03:23] <william_> liquidmeson: would the deb be in the extracted files
[03:23] <AHemlocksLie> aegnuddel: my desktop PC, it's been through a couple upgrades, and my last graphics card caused some real instability issues. Windows 7 just made them worse, I Think because of how they polished everything up to make it all pretty and therefore more demanding on the graphics card
[03:23] <R0B0G3N3S1S> yeah he took out multiplayer... no more server, damn hackers.
[03:23] <mikeru> rigved, I'm confused @_@
[03:23] <william_> liquidmeson: vuze is the install whatever that is
[03:23] <R0B0G3N3S1S> it's gone gb for now gotta take a showewr
[03:23] <mikeru> rigved, anyway, I'm not a kernel expert
[03:24] <mikeru> sorry
[03:24] <Gnea> ok
[03:24] <AegNuddel> AHemlocksLie, oh!  I see!  Makes sense to me.  M$ is all skin-deep...
[03:24] <liquidmeson_> william_, if you open the software center search for azureus
[03:25] <liquidmeson_> william_, that is the same thing as vuzu
[03:25] <rigved> mikeru, that ok
[03:25] <JoeCoolMobile> How can I get out of text only mode?
[03:25] <AHemlocksLie> aegnuddel: yeah, if I actually tried to play a GAME? the AUDACITY
[03:25] <AegNuddel> AHemlocksLie, yeah...I guess that would be hard
[03:26] <AHemlocksLie> yeah, took me forever to figure it out, but someone finally suggested that was likely the problem
[03:26] <kayros> alguem aqui fala portugues
[03:26] <william_> liquidmeson: thank you i have installed from debian server before but not from a third party tar.gz and the software center would be found where
[03:26] <rigved>  i want to make changes to the linux kernel and test this new kernel in a safe environment without effecting my environment
[03:26] <mattgyver> JoeCoolMobile, not to sound funny, how did you get into it? normal boot, or did you switch ttys with crtl+alt+f?
[03:26] <adrian> espanol
[03:26] <AHemlocksLie> makes perfect sense in retrospect, really, but it never occurred to me that my power supply, of all things, would be causing the problems
[03:26] <JoeCoolMobile> mattgyver, updated to MM, restarted.
[03:27] <JoeCoolMobile> can't boot into th GUI
[03:27] <AHemlocksLie> okay, is anyone in anyway good at fixing wifi issues? I gotta get this figured out
[03:27] <liquidmeson_> william_, I would suggest updating your system, it is probably out of date, this can be done from System> admin> update manager
[03:27] <tieinv> JoeCoolMobile,   Ctrl+Alt+F7
[03:27] <mattgyver> JoeCoolMobile, try issuing a 'sudo telinit 2' and see if it gets you in
[03:27] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: still working on this? any progress
[03:27] <liquidmeson_> william_, software center should appear in the top left under applications
[03:27] <JoeCoolMobile> mattgyver, nothing
[03:28] <AHemlocksLie> km0201, someone suggested I use p54pci, and it's working to a degree, but it's really unstable wifi. Usually takes a minute or two to connect to stuff, then whether it's gonna be fast or slow is a coin toss, and it sometimes likes to drop all together
[03:28] <manu__> @PryMal> Do you now how to do it?
[03:28] <william_> liquidmeson: ok thanks I will take this info to work tomorrow and will be able to help the client better
[03:28] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: hmm.
[03:28] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 so I just dropped the ndiswrapper problem for a new one
[03:28] <william_> liquidmeson: have a good night
[03:28] <KM0201> lol
[03:29] <manu__> How do I move the boot record from sda3 to sda1?
[03:29] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 really, I think ndiswrapper is my best bet, but nobody can help me fix that, so I dunno if I can really do much with that
[03:29] <mattgyver> JoeCoolMobile, if tieinv's suggestion doesnt work reboot and hold shift, and see if you have multiple grub entries, dont select a rescue mode
[03:29] <liquidmeson_> william_, good luck
[03:29] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: yeah.. i really don't understand the problem w/ ndiswrapper
[03:29] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 maybe if I could get it to compile right and install from that, but I can't get that to happen, so I'm outta luck there
[03:30] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: why do you think you'd n eed to compile it, vs using the version in the repos?
[03:30] <Guest34744> alguien habla español?
[03:30] <manu__> ???
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> !es | Guest34744
[03:30] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 I have no idea, but I'm willing to try anything at this point
[03:30] <KM0201> !es | guest347
[03:30] <rigved> i want to make changes to the linux kernel and test this new kernel in a safe environment without effecting my environment
[03:30] <JoeCoolMobile> mattgyver, why not
[03:31] <rigved> how do i install the basic linux-2.6.35.7 kernel to virtualbox?
[03:31] <Amaro> Why unity's global menu works fine but indicator-app-menu is so glitchy?
[03:31] <mattgyver> JoeCoolMobile, sorry my thought kinda ended there lol, select a different entry that does not say rescue mode, you can use rescue mode but it wont start x
[03:31] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 it finds a half dozen errors in one of the source files, but that can't be right because they'd have fixed it by now and it wouldn't be all over the internet saying to use it
[03:31] <JoeCoolMobile> tieinv, did something but its on a b?anl line
[03:31] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 and even if they wouldn't have fixed it, my second point still stands, people wouldn't say use it
[03:31] <JoeCoolMobile> mattgyver, none of the different entried do anything dfferent.
[03:32] <mattgyver> JoeCoolMobile, ok
[03:32] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: ok, so you tried to compile ndiswrapper, and then installed ndisgtk from the repos, which then apparently installed the version of ndiswrapper, from the repos.
[03:32] <manu__> can anyone help me?
[03:33] <KM0201> manu__: ask your question
[03:33] <dan5790> How do I list files in a directory from the command line?
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> dan5790: ls
[03:33] <KM0201> ls /directory
[03:33] <emmanuel> hi, quick question
[03:33] <manu__> How do I move the boot record from sda3 to sda1?
[03:33] <emmanuel> how can run fsck
[03:33] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 yeah. Before I installed Ubuntu, while in Windows, I researched a bit and built a setup pack, which was ndiswrapper to compile from source and the windows drivers to use with it. When that wouldn't compile, someone suggested using ndisgtk, which grabbed ndiswapper-common and -utils-1.9 at installation
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> !fsck | emmanuel
[03:33] <glithcd> ubuntu 10.04, how do i get bluetooth working?
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> !bluetooth | glithcd
[03:34] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 that, however, didn't have an ndiswrapper.ko file until I ran depmod -a, I believe it was, at which point it changed to module ndiswrapper not found
[03:34] <JoeCoolMobile> mattgyver, still stuck
[03:34] <emmanuel> thanks a lot
[03:34] <emmanuel> that's a quick answer
[03:34] <soulwarp> !help
[03:34] <liquidmeson_> manu__, the sda3 is just a name, give us more info. ex, i need more space for my windows install or windows dosen't show in the menu
[03:35] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 and no amount of asking in IRC, googling, or forum combing has done anything to resolve the inability to find the ndiswrapper module
[03:35] <KM0201> hmm
[03:35] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 which really doesn't make sense to me, considering that ndiswrapper works as a command at the command prompt, making me inclined to believe it's there
[03:35] <manu__> I unlucky set the boot record to sda3, windows boot loader and windows are installed under sda1. I want to boot windows again
[03:35] <KM0201> yea..
[03:36] <KM0201> AHemlocksLie: i wish i had a good answer.
[03:36] <manu__> at the moment it is booting on empty partition sda3 ... can't find a boot loader, since there isn't one
[03:36] <liquidmeson_> manu__, applications >accessories > terminal, type in: sudo update-grub
[03:36] <soulwarp> How to I post large amounts of code as a link?
[03:36] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 and even after blacklisting prism54, it's still showing (alternat driver: prism54) when I run ndiswrapper -l, which is mind boggling, and not even modprobe -r prism54 or rmmod prism54 can change that
[03:36] <KM0201> !paste | soulwarp
[03:37] <manu__> i only have a boot linux
[03:37] <soulwarp> KM0201, thank you
[03:37] <manu__> don't have grup
[03:37] <manu__> i need to do it on the terminal
[03:37] <liquidmeson_> manu__, are windows and ubuntu in the same computer
[03:37] <razz1> how to set up transmission to connect to trackers via proxy? any guide available?
[03:37] <AHemlocksLie> km0201 what if it's a problem with my ndiswrapper.ko? that was missing initially, perhaps it's pointing something in the wrong direction
[03:37] <KM0201> manu__: you probably have grub, it's just skipping it because it's only detected 1 OS... Linux requires grub to load the kernel...
[03:37] <manu__> no upuntu is on usb stick
[03:38] <manu__> had it lucky with me
[03:38] <manu__> I DONT HAVE GRUP
[03:38] <liquidmeson_> menu__, if you pull out the usb stick it should go back to windows
[03:38] <Sickler> i just moved to xubuntu from ubuntu and i am finding that i miss a lot of the natulius shortcuts (like F3 to get a split window) is there a way I can get these into thunar or to which over to natilus
[03:39] <manu__> IT WONT GO BACK TO LINUX
[03:39] <soulwarp> I'm having trouble mounting a Sony DVD+RW disc. I insert it and does not mount. Here is my /etc/fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/512833/
[03:39] <manu__> Linux is running on dev/usba1
[03:40] <bobthemilkman> soulwarp: Is it blank?
[03:40] <manu__> I know a lot about systems, linux windows and mac the only thing is i never changed the mbr on linux shell
[03:40] <mark2010> how can i enable automatic sending email from evolution while evolution is closed i.e right click file, sento email ?
[03:40] <liquidmeson_> manu__, so when you turn on the computer you see ubuntu, it works good?
[03:40] <manu__> I don't even have a gnome enviroment
[03:41] <manu__> no when i turn it on off again it says there is nothing to boot on the partition .... mbr cannot be found
[03:41] <manu__> hdd is visible and mountable unter shell
[03:41] <soulwarp> bobthemilkman, The person who gave me the disc says it works on her Windows. It was recorded on her camera.
[03:41] <manu__> it looks as working
[03:41] <pibarnas> it is impossible to install software from dvd source in (k)?ubuntu. there's a bug.
[03:41] <bikcmp> Hi all, are there any good applications for syncing your ipod with ubuntu?
[03:41] <manu__> the boot record is set to the wrong partition on sda
[03:41] <bikcmp> (I have the ipod touch 4)
[03:41] <liquidmeson_> manu__, what windows was on there before? 7 xp, vista?
[03:42] <manu__> windows 7
[03:42] <nathanieljohnson> no bikcmp
[03:42] <bikcmp> nathanieljohnson: no? dang
[03:42] <liquidmeson_> manu__, put in the 7 disk and look for a repair option
[03:42] <manu__> I don't have the installer cd
[03:42] <soulwarp> bobthemilkman, My theory is her windows used some kind of compression not common with linux UDF auto mounting
[03:42] <manu__> i m in canada and all my stuff is in germany
[03:42] <KM0201> bikcmp: i believe the touch, you have to jailbreak in order to make it work w/ Linux..
[03:42] <bikcmp> KM0201: it is jailbroken.
[03:42] <soulwarp> bobthemilkman, but the disc was made using her camera...
[03:42] <nathanieljohnson> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod
[03:42] <KM0201> !ipod | bikcmp
[03:43] <bikcmp> thanks :)
[03:43] <liquidmeson_> manu__, http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[03:44] <manu__> liquidmeson_: I nither have a cd nor a second usb stick nor a burner
[03:46] <emmanuel> hi i try sudo shutdown -F -r now to force fsck to check the disk for bad sector
[03:46] <liquidmeson_> manu__, so if you don't have the windows disk then there is no way to have ONLY windows on the laptop.. I would recomend using the usb stick and booting ubuntu
[03:46] <emmanuel> but it did not check
[03:46] <emmanuel> anything wrong i did
[03:46] <emmanuel> ?
[03:46] <emmanuel> thanks
[03:46] <KeithWeisshar> I'm having a problem with Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on my high-end PC.  It takes a long time to boot and get to the desktop.  It also takes a long time to install and the install stalls in the download package and installing system phase.  It also takes a long time to switch to console after pressing ctrl-alt-f1.  I have an EVGA X58 3X SLI motherboard, Geforce GTX 470 video card. Realtek LAN and Audio, NVIDIA HDMI Audio on the video c
[03:46] <manu__> I m on ubuntu right now

[03:47] <manu__> liquidmeson and i need to set the active partition to 1
[03:47] <liquidmeson_> manu__, when you open the installer do you see windows?

[03:48] <Starn> Hello?
[03:48] <h00k> !hi | Starn
[03:48] <h00k> bah, I forget that factoid is gone.
[03:48] <liquidmeson_> manu__, the ubuntu live usb should have a installer on the desktop
[03:48] <Sickler> i just moved to xubuntu from ubuntu and i am finding that i miss a lot of the natulius shortcuts (like F3 to get a split window) is there a way I can get these into thunar or to which over to natilus
[03:48] <pavan> hello everyone
[03:49] <hxcjonnysniper> i can connect to my wired network but i cant open the internet. need help real bad. i have been trying to fix this for weeks. no ones yet to help me. plz help!!!!!!!!!!
[03:49] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: When you say you can't open the internet, meaning you can't get a browser to open?
[03:49] <manu__> what does this help m
[03:49] <Starn> i ran into an major issue upgrading 10.04 to 10.10.. it Crashed at about 80% and now i can not boot into ubuntu i just get some command line grub. can someone help me? do i have to redo ubuntu installation like everything lost?
[03:49] <pavan> I have installed remastersys from soft center, but it haven't created any shortcut, how to run it, does it need any other supporting packages?
[03:49] <KM0201> hxcjonnysniper: probably stating the obvious, but i assume other devices on the network have internet access?
[03:49] <h00k> Starn: You might be able to recover grub, let me find the factoid
[03:50] <manu__> liquidmeson_, i need windows 7 again .... and this is installed on sda1
[03:50] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k: i can get the browser open but it wont load anything at all.
[03:50] <emmanuel> ubottu: i did not check for filesystem check during reboot
[03:50] <Starn> thanks h00k. i'm not to great with grub or command line stuff.
[03:50] <h00k> !grubrepair | Starn
[03:50] <h00k> Starn: follow the RestoreGrub wiki
[03:50] <manu__> can i not set the active partion of a hard disc with fdisk?
[03:51] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: Are you sure your network is set up proper? Does it work with other machines?
[03:51] <pavan> !remastersys
[03:51] <KeithWeisshar> The Live CD boot pauses at the welcome to ubuntu console prompt and then i get a gui-less background and then later it then asks if i want to try ubuntu or install ubuntu,  if I select try buntu, it pauses and then goes to blank screen, pauses and then goes to gui-less background, pauses and then the desktop
[03:51] <RudyValencia> Why doesn't Ubuntu include the patch from Debian to fix b43 crashing due to the 3c59x in my lappy?
[03:51] <Crash1hd> can anyone explain what this does? sed -r 's/^\?[ ]+//'
[03:51] <Starn> ok h00k i hope this fixes the issue i have. i dislike command line grub thingy
[03:51] <RudyValencia> (per http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586967)
[03:51] <h00k> Starn: good luck
[03:51] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k: yeah it works with other machines. and i can get on the internet on this laptop but only through wireless.
[03:51] <pavan> hello anybody can help regarding remastersys
[03:51] <liquidmeson_> manu__, before windows starts there is a loader (windows boot strap or grub) it seems your missing the windows boot strap and no grub... so you have to install grub since you have no windows cd
[03:52] <KeithWeisshar> Could it have something to do with my hardware?  There is no problem running Ubuntu 10.10 in VirtualBox.
[03:52] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: Is your network card getting an IP address?
[03:52] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:idk
[03:52] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: do you know where to check? okay
[03:52] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:no.
[03:52] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: Go to System -> Administration -> Network Tools
[03:53] <KeithWeisshar> does anyone else have the same mobo and vidcard?
[03:53] <liquidmeson_> manuu, grub can start windows, in the terminal try typing sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[03:53] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k: okay what now?
[03:53] <liquidmeson_> manuu__, grub can start windows, in the terminal try typing sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[03:53] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: on that first tab, 'Devices' pick your ethernet card (eth0)
[03:53] <h00k> does it show an IP address?
[03:53] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: ^
[03:53] <KM0201> KeithWeisshar: does it eventually get to the desktop?.. that sounds pretty normal to me...
[03:54] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k: okay ipv4 says it 0.0.0.0
[03:54] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: It sounds like you're not getting an IP address. Do you know if your network card is functioning properly?
[03:54] <manu__> liquidmeson_, it is a hp notebook, i changed the boot order to usb, harddrive, ... to get online somehow ... we linux has a kind of bootloader, but i don't really know which bootloader
[03:55] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:yeah it is. i ran a ping on it and it was fine wired and wireless.
[03:55] <manu__> i cannot install anything to the usb stick, i tryed alreadz
[03:55] <KeithWeisshar> it takes about five minutes to get to the desktop
[03:55] <AegNuddel> With Ubuntu, is it better to use a USB Wireless card or a PCI one?
[03:56] <manu__> i would need to install the easypeasy linux first on a harddrive which i don't want
[03:56] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: you won't be able to ping out if it's not getting an IP address
[03:56] <KeithWeisshar> it takes between 5 to 10 minutes to fully load the desktop
[03:57] <liquidmeson> manu__, when your in the usb live try running that command
[03:57] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k: well under wired network it used to have auto eth0. it doesnt even have that now.
[03:57] <Sickler> i lost my touch sensitive button functions from moving from gnome to xfce (ubuntu to xubuntu) how do i fix this
[03:57] <liquidmeson> manu__, that doesn't install to usb that installs to hard drive
[03:57] <JoeCoolMobile> mattgyver, I fianlly got MM workng after a weeks worth of work and recompilinh the kernel from source
[03:58] <manu__> it doesn't I tryed!
[03:58] <keith2> I'm trying to switch to Linux on a dinosaur of a computer. An old Compaq 500 Mhz 512MB RAM w/80GB HDD. I installed Xubuntu, everyone went fine, but when I open system monitor, my CPU usage shows 97-100%. Is there a better distro to run on such an old computer, or can I free up some resources somehow?
[03:58] <liquidmeson> manu__, what does it say?
[03:58] <manu__> and i don't want to overwrite my windows either
[03:58] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: does your network card have a link light on it? There should be a light that stays on, and one that flashes on-and-off with activity
[03:58] <liquidmeson> keith2, lubuntu its brand new :D
[03:58] <AHemlocksLie> anyone here familiar with ndiswrapper problems? when I try to modprobe ndiswrapper, I get FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not foudn
[03:58] <KM0201> lubuntu would be my choice, but hae you looked in the processes, to see what is causing the resource spike?
[03:59] <BugeyeD> anyone know how to achieve an oem install of the netbook edition?
[03:59] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k: i dont have a network card. im trying to get a wired connection.
[03:59] <manu__> liquidmeson, cannot find /
[03:59] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: right, I mean where the network cable plugs in, you should have lights there
[03:59] <keith2> I will check it out. Not yet on the processes but even if I start a simple game like quad system resources max out
[04:00] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k: it is lit up green. not blinking. or anything. just green.
[04:00] <manu__> liquidmeson which makes sence since it is read only ... the image is but to the usb stick like a read only cd
[04:01] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: So, you have a link, but it's not giving you an IP. Can you right click on the network applet -> edit connections
[04:01] <manu__> liquidmeson the bootloader is neither lilo nor grup
[04:01] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k: okay did it.
[04:01] <Lewoco> One of my runlevel 2 scripts is prevents my system from booting. Is there any way to make Ubuntu start in runlevel 1?
[04:01] <JoeCoolMobile> I kind of installed both netbook and desktop versions and its flickering insanely
[04:01] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: Under 'Wired' you should see 'Auto eth0,' does that exist?
[04:01] <randomseed> I want a networked laser printer for home network that Linux, Leopard, XP and Windows 7 can Access. Anyone know of a printer for me?
[04:02] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:yeah.
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | randomseed
[04:02] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: Click it -> Edit
[04:02] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:alright.
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> randomseed: my advice is an HP, HP love linux
[04:02] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: it should have your device MAC, and MTU 'automatic'
[04:02] <AHemlocksLie> does anyone know why compiling ndiswrapper from source might fail?
[04:03] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: and Connect automatically should be checked
[04:03] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:yep
[04:03] <randomseed> ActionParsnip, thanks! I will check that out
[04:03] <Sickler> i lost my touch sensitive button functions from moving from gnome to xfce (ubuntu to xubuntu) how do i fix this
[04:03] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: go over to IPv4 settings, make sure 'Method' is set to Automatic (DHCP)
[04:03] <soulwarp> AHemlocksLie, you should be able to just install
[04:03] <h00k> !info ndiswrapper | AHemlocksLie
[04:04] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:yep
[04:04] <h00k> bah.
[04:04] <soulwarp> AHemlocksLie, then again it's been a while since I installed it
[04:04] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:and ipv6 on ignore.
[04:04] <h00k> !ndiswrapper | AHemlocksLie
[04:04] <liquidmeson> ndiswrapper-common
[04:05] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: Well then. Hm.
[04:06] <syntax_> ubuntu Br
[04:06] <syntax_> Link
[04:06] <emmanuel> how to repair disk bad sector?
[04:06] <h00k> !br | syntax_
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> emmanuel: you don't. the drive is dying and you should buy a new one
[04:06] <Snowflame> Right.  Question that I hope is humiliatingly easy.  The new Ubuntu installer is complaining I don't have 2.4 GB free.  Checking back in Windows 7, I have the entirety of my second Hard Drive as "Unallocated."  There is no option to format, merely to add a volume.  This is correct, right?  But it still doesn't like it.
[04:07] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: I'd say re-ask the channel to see if someone else can help, also include more details like you have link light, no activity light, no IP, etc
[04:07] <emmanuel> will fsck will not do it?
[04:07] <KM0201> Snowflame: how big is the unallocated space
[04:07] <emmanuel> or at least remedy it?
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> Snowflame: use custom partitioning to make 10Gb for /, 1xRAM amount for swap and the rest for /home
[04:08] <Sickler> i lost my touch sensitive button functions from moving from gnome to xfce (ubuntu to xubuntu) how do i fix this
[04:08] <Snowflame> It's a 1TB drive.
[04:08] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:appreciate it. im going to fucking delete this shit fuck ubuntu!
[04:08] <h00k> hxcjonnysniper: please watch your language.
[04:08] <Snowflame> Okay, so I should just format it myself from a shell?
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> hxcjonnysniper: keep the language PG please
[04:08] <KeithWeisshar> is ubuntu 10.10 buggy
[04:08] <hxcjonnysniper> h00k:yeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh boyyyyyyyyyy
[04:08] <KM0201> Snowflame: but how much did you unallocate for Linux?.. i'm guessing you don't want to give Linux 800gb?(assuming Windows is using 200gb)
[04:08] <hxcjonnysniper> 10.10 sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> KeithWeisshar: half, but its release, its a bit immature yet
[04:08] <Snowflame> I have two 1 TB drives.  The intent was to give Linux all of this drive.
[04:09] <KeithWeisshar> i'm havingn a problem getting it installed and running
[04:09] <emmanuel> if someone does like ubuntu, you better get off here
[04:09] <emmanuel> *does not like
[04:09] <Snowflame> Currently within Windows it looks like System (100 MB), C: (931 GB), and "Unallocated."
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> Snowflame: if you use my advice you will be fine, all the partitions will be primary and the / and /home partitions will be ext4
[04:09] <KeithWeisshar> i didn't have any issue with the previous version
[04:09] <KeithWeisshar> what's wrong with ubuntu 10.10
[04:10] <Snowflame> Anyway, worst comes to worst, I'll just use your advice, Parsnip.
[04:10] <KM0201> KeithWeisshar: well, nothing's wrong w/ it, whats the problem?
[04:10] <KM0201> i'm not sure i'd make a 800gb /home.. but that's just my thinking.
[04:10] <gilaniali> To set up disk space limits for users, i should go through the tutorials for Quota or is there something better?
[04:10] <Snowflame> When I installed Ubuntu 8.10 for dual-boot it did all the partitioning for me but I suppose I shouldn't be scared as I did hand-parition a Debian build back in the day.  Just spoiled nowadays.
[04:10] <Cairo|> how do i specify what driver to configure whith "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> Snowflame: it means you can reinstall without deleting your home ;). Also makes backups easier
[04:11] <KM0201> Snowflame: if you've partitioned for linux before, you should have no problem.
[04:11] <Sickler> i lost my touch sensitive button functions from moving from gnome to xfce (ubuntu to xubuntu) how do i fix this
[04:13] <KeithWeisshar> unable to complete installation
[04:13] <KM0201> KeithWeisshar: well that's not really telling much.. why?
[04:13] <lucent> KeithWeisshar: ready the fire extinguisher!
[04:13] <lucent> is it glowing bright red and shouting in Klingon?
[04:14] <KeithWeisshar> stalls in installating system phase after downloading packages, i have both install updates and install third party packages ticked
[04:15] <Phr3ak_> hi there!
[04:15] <lucent> if one of those servers is unreachable, it might fail that way
[04:15] <KM0201> KeithWeisshar: 32 or 64bit, and have you considered the alternate install cd?
[04:15] <KeithWeisshar> the install stalls with progress bar about 80% of screen
[04:15] <AHemlocksLie> soulwarp, sorry, afk'd a sec. I installed ndisgtk, which installed ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9, but it's apparently still not gonna work. ndiswrapper still works as a command line command, though, which confuses me a little
[04:15] <syntax_> can someone help me install a webcam on Ubuntu 10.04 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 Webcam
[04:15] <KeithWeisshar> 64-bit, have not used alternate cd
[04:15] <KeithWeisshar> only have desktop cd
[04:15] <lucent> syntax_: not a bad question, but I am afraid.
[04:15] <KM0201> !webcam | syntax_
[04:16] <KeithWeisshar> is the new desktop installer buggy
[04:16] <KM0201> syntax_: just prepare for fail...
[04:16] <KM0201> KeithWeisshar: no, it's actually quite good.
[04:16] <KeithWeisshar> should i disable install updates and 3rd party packages duriing installation
[04:16] <ah_kevin> no
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> KeithWeisshar: its up to you
[04:16] <KM0201> KeithWeisshar: you can try... i assume the machine is connected to the internet during install?
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> KeithWeisshar: you'll just download them once you get logged in first time
[04:17] <KeithWeisshar> is there a known issue with certain hardware configuration such as the gtx 470 video card
[04:17] <KeithWeisshar> the noveau driver doesn't support the gtx 470 video card
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> KeithWeisshar: the proprietary nvidia driver doesn't fly with the xorg version in maverick yet
[04:18] <KM0201> KeithWeisshar: you might have better luck w/ the alt. install cd...
[04:18] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, 256 or current does
[04:18] <KeithWeisshar> should i get the dvd version
[04:18] <KeithWeisshar> does the dvd version have both live and alternate
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: sweet, i've seen folks in here reporting issues
[04:18] <Zwei> I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu, how do I access an external hard drive from a terminal? - It's already mounted, automatically.
[04:19] <KM0201> KeithWeisshar: i don' tthink so... just download the alt. install cd, and try it.. have you installed ubuntu before?
[04:19] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, 256 has been working since beta i believe
[04:19] <c0nv1ct> Zwei: type `mount` to see where it is mounted, navigate there with `cd`
[04:21] <ZykoticK9> Zwei, "cd ~/.gvfs" if it's automatically mounted
[04:21] <Zwei> ZykoticK9: there's nothing in .gvfs
[04:22] <ZykoticK9> Zwei, then check the output of "mount"
[04:22] <Ertain> Hello everyone.  I'm currently trying out the Maverick Meerkat liveCD.  Does anyone know how to change the video drivers?
[04:23] <zetheroo1> upgrade to 10.10 has been one of the smoothest, if not THE smoothest, upgrade ever for me :)
[04:23] <Fezzler> I want to record my guitar.  Which audio capture devices work with Ubuntu?
[04:23] <ZykoticK9> Ertain, if you are using the LiveCD you are very limited when it comes to graphics card drivers, to need to do a real install to install "real" drivers
[04:23] <ZykoticK9> Ertain, s/to/you
[04:24] <Diverdude> it seems android will give ipods/iphones a well deserved set-back! Finally mac is beeing punished for beeing way worse than microsoft when it comes to closed platforms!
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> !ot | Diverdude
[04:24] <Ertain> Thanks, Zykotick9.
[04:25] <AegNuddel> go android!
[04:25] <Zwei> thanks ZykoticK9, c0nv1ct, how do I get to ext4? mount gives this: http://codepad.org/UmFiJr7L
[04:25] <h00k> Please keep the conversation on topic in here
[04:25] <Zwei> there is no sda5 under /dev/ and I don't know where is ext4
[04:25] <c0nv1ct> Zwei: look in /media/
[04:26] <c0nv1ct> Zwei: /media/40301D5B301D596C
[04:26] <ZykoticK9> Zwei, ya, check /media/40301D5B301D596C
[04:26] <Zwei> c0nv1ct, ZykoticK9: Thanks guys!
[04:27] <Zwei> so what does the /dev/sdb1 mean?
[04:27] <c0nv1ct> Zwei: first partition of second hdd
[04:27] <Zwei> ah
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> Zwei, sdb sd means SCSI drive and and b means second
[04:27] <liquidmeson> or sata!
[04:27] <brad__> I need to send clocksource=jiffies to the kernel at boot, but I don't know how with grub 2. Could someone explain where I'd stick this?
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> liquidmeson, or ide ;)
[04:28] <c0nv1ct> or sas :P
[04:28] <liquidmeson> ide show up different?
[04:28] <ZykoticK9> liquidmeson, or floppy ;) :)
[04:28] <ZykoticK9> liquidmeson, not anymore
[04:28] <liquidmeson> :D
[04:28] <ZykoticK9> liquidmeson, everything shows up as scsi emulation these days
[04:28] <emmanuel_> i know ubuntu is smart enough not to write on bad sector, right?
[04:29] <ZykoticK9> emmanuel, actually "bad sectors" is a hardware not a software issue, so not necessarily
[04:29] <emmanuel_> alright
[04:30] <liquidmeson> emmanuel_, you can check the status of your drive from system> admin >disk utility
[04:30] <emmanuel_> yup
[04:30] <emmanuel_> i check it
[04:30] <quiescens> if it knows its a bad sector it will avoid it
[04:30] <quiescens> or it can be made to avoid it anyway
[04:30] <emmanuel_> that when i know the disk has bad sector
[04:30] <hux> I'm trying to verify that ubuntu server (any recent version) will work 'well' with a Dell 1950PE server -- specifically with the PERC5 raid card -- the ubuntu hardware compatibility website seems horribily outdated -- am I looking in the wrong place?
[04:30] <ZykoticK9> ext's ability not to fragment FTW (/OT)
[04:31] <freakabcd> hi all
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | hux
[04:31] <freakabcd> What is the difference between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server edition?
[04:31] <maco> freakabcd: well, server doesnt have a desktop, to start with...
[04:31] <ZykoticK9> freakabcd, server has no gui - basically only difference.  it's easier for people to install services on desktop, then a gui on server!
[04:32] <freakabcd> uh, ok.. so basically desktop without X and associated libs/apps ?
[04:32] <hux> ActionParsnip: yeah thats what I'm looking at and it doesn't have very current information about Dell server hardware
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> hux: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/
[04:33] <freakabcd> ok, i'll simply get the desktop iso
[04:33] <Snowflame> Hmph.  Well this is frustrating.  For those tuning in now, I'm trying to convince Ubuntu that there's a whole 1 TB hard drive waiting for it, but it can't find it.  The auto-installer complains about not enough space with no elaboration or options.
[04:33] <Snowflame> Attempting to use fsck or Gparted also seems to fail.
[04:34] <gilaniali> I just installed quota using apt-get but when i type 'quota' it returns empty
[04:34] <Snowflame> I end up with just "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2" which I suspect means that it isn't installed by default on the CD.
[04:34] <ubuntu> hola
[04:34] <cmdrk> Snowflame: Try fdisk -l
[04:34] <hux> ActionParsnip: thank you!
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> hux: it doesnt directly list the server but if you find a server with the same perc chip it should give indications
[04:34] <Snowflame> I get nothin off that.
[04:35] <Snowflame> Which makes sense because Ubuntu's GUI based stuff sees no disk drives either.
[04:35] <hux> I found the server directly on there -- i want to double check the PERC card specifically though
[04:35] <cmdrk> Snowflame: seems like the drive isn't detected in BIOS then. have you double checked that?
[04:35] <ZykoticK9> gilaniali, on a system without quota it would return "The program 'quota' is currently not installed." best of luck.
[04:35] <Snowflame> (Disk Utility claims no one is home as well.)
[04:35] <Snowflame> I will, but Windows can see it just fine.
[04:35] <Snowflame> So I doubt that.
[04:35] <Snowflame> Because if it was a BIOS problem then Windows shouldn't be able to find it either.
[04:36] <ZykoticK9> Snowflame, try not to use enter so much - use 1 line to describe you problem.  see factoid !enter
[04:36] <Snowflame> I also tried formatting the hard drive from within Windows.
[04:36] <gilaniali> ZykoticK9: i do know its installed, which quota returns the location
[04:36] <Snowflame> No change.  And duly noted, Zkyotic.
[04:36] <liquidmeson> hux, https://10.cloud.ubuntu.com/
[04:36] <gilaniali> but why isnt it returning something when i try to invoke it
[04:36] <ZykoticK9> gilaniali, i've never used quota - just wanted to inform you that you "part" way there
[04:36] <freakabcd> i want to install the 64-bit version.
[04:37] <hux> liquidmeson: Thanks, but I already have the physically server - or rather I'm acquiring it this week
[04:37] <ZykoticK9> freakabcd, so install the 64bit version?
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> freakabcd: go for it then :)
[04:37] <ZykoticK9> freakabcd, it's what i use (haven't done 10.10 on desktop yet)
[04:37] <Diverdude> Is it possible to set up ubuntu in such a way that it can be remote-controlled using ipod? For example for browsing videos and music and starting the videos/music on the server?
[04:37] <Snowflame> Also, does anyone know if it's normal to not see any hda# or sda# when ls in /dev ?  It's not what I'd expect but might explain the missing hard drives.
[04:38] <rocket16> !isitout
[04:38] <Snowflame> (This is off a CD-boot of 10.10 amd64 in case it's relevant, though I doubt that.)
[04:38] <liquidmeson> diverdude, ipod :p not unless your great with electronics :p with an iphone or android however it is possible
[04:39] <Crash1hd> does anyone know of a good svn script that I can add to a cron to check for new files every 20 mins or so and then adds and commits them or deletes them accordingly (I have one but its not working right)
[04:39] <pnunn> Has anyone other than me ended up with a stuck raid device in a 10.04 install?  I've just had an install fail, now I can't remove the device.
[04:40] <Diverdude> liquidmeson, how is it possible with iphone?
[04:40] <Diverdude> liquidmeson, is there some app which may be used for that
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> pnunn: hard of soft raid?
[04:41] <Diverdude> liquidmeson, i was thinking something like installing somesort of media center on my ubuntu machine and then some sort of remote control app on my iphone....is that possible?

[04:43] <Gryllida> Fing3rz: There is not inough info to answer yet, please be more specific

[04:47] <AHemlocksLie> is anyone in here familiar with patching source? I think I finally found the root of my ndiswrapper compiling problems, found a .patch file to fix it, and now I need to apply the patch
[04:47] <Enigmati1Coder> Is there a way to view recent terminal output? I just asked this a second ago and was told nano ./bash_history, That gave terminal input
[04:47] <tensorpudding> Gryllida: you need to add color escape codes to the $PS1 variable
[04:48] <Gryllida> Enigmati1Coder: Ah, then I'm afraid no, you have to rerun the commands
[04:48]  * tyoc213 want to know if someone use persistent USB run via VirtualBox and has used synaptic or any other privileged command
[04:48] <maco> AHemlocksLie: what do you need to patch?
[04:48] <Enigmati1Coder> ty
[04:48] <AHemlocksLie> maco: ndiswrapper, the latest version isn't compatible with kernel 2.6.35 from what I've been lead to believe
[04:49] <tensorpudding> Gryllida: for instance, if you want to make a certain part of it red, you need to wrap it like "\e[0;31m (stuff) \e[m"
[04:49] <Gryllida> tensorpudding: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/512869/ is what I see in ~/.bashrc ; I am wondering how to turn colors on
[04:49] <maco> AHemlocksLie: oh goody. is there a bug for this on launchpad?
[04:50] <tensorpudding> Gryllida: you could add a line "color_prompt=yes" right before that
[04:50] <AHemlocksLie> maco: I've no idea. I showed someone the output of my failed compiling, and they said it looked like kernel mismatch, so someone else hunted down the patch for me
[04:50] <AHemlocksLie> maco: but they weren't familiar with the exact commands to apply it, so I dunno how to fully fix it
[04:51] <ZykoticK9> Gryllida, the command Enigmatil... was looking for was "history"
[04:51] <maco> AHemlocksLie: lets take this to #ubuntu-bugs so we dont clog the support channel

In Ubuntu its only showing 2 gb though and it generally feels a bit sluggish (im guessing because of the ram issue) and I'd also like to try and make ubuntu look a bit more like KDE but im not having any luck

[04:58] <ubuN3wb3> driverpatching::::::    wget http://patchesXXXX...... whats the next step???
[04:58] <tensorpudding> ubuN3wb3: you want to pactch kernel drivers? why?
[04:58] <ZykoticK9> xk0beda1, to address more then 4GB of memory you need the 64bit version (yes PAE can address more, but not for any one program!)
[04:59] <Gryllida> !kde | xk0beda1
[04:59] <ubuN3wb3> airckrack:D
[04:59] <bnjmn> how can i remove the mail icon from the indicator applet?
[04:59] <tensorpudding> ubuN3wb3: using patches you find on the internet is a pain, because you'll need the sources to the version of the kernel that you're patching
[04:59] <Gryllida> bnjmn: I have same question ( I was able to remove it only along with volume control)
[04:59] <tensorpudding> ubuN3wb3: which are almost surely not going to match the version in the ubuntu repositories
[04:59] <bnjmn> it has a mail icon and a sound icon, i like sound control there, but i just want the mail thing to disappear
[04:59] <ubuN3wb3> i have the source
[05:00] <ZykoticK9> bnjmn, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/remove-mail-icon-leave-volume-control
[05:00] <bnjmn> Gryllida: huh... yeah, i like volume control there..
[05:00] <tensorpudding> ubuN3wb3: the patch is probably applied using patch
[05:00] <xk0beda1> I did download the 64 bit version
[05:00] <bnjmn> ZykoticK9: thanks a lot
[05:00] <tensorpudding> ubuN3wb3: assuming that it's a diff patch
[05:00] <Gryllida> bnjmn: yeah, I haev same question, didn't find it; have been using ubuntu for 4 months, and still no idea on it
[05:00] <bnjmn> Gryllida: well ZykoticK9 just provided the answer :) thanks again ZykoticK9
[05:00] <tensorpudding> ubuN3wb3: then you have to compile the kernel, and probably run a script to grub2 to update the kernels list so you can attempt to boot it
[05:01] <ZykoticK9> bnjmn, :)
[05:01] <ubuN3wb3> ui
[05:01] <ubuN3wb3> i think i dit this steps
[05:01] <Gryllida> ZykoticK9: 'sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages' <- do indicator messages *only* include the mail indicator? And is this package installed only on Ubuntu by default
[05:01] <Gryllida> ?
[05:02] <ZykoticK9> Gryllida, i "believe" yes to both questions.
[05:02] <Fing3rz> how would I get a MCP61 High Definition Audio sound card working?
[05:02] <eroick> Hello, with a fresh ubuntu server install, I boot up  but get no login prompt. After the kernel messages the screen goes blank and then says "Starting NTP server ntpd    [ OK  ]." If i press CTRL-ALT-F1, I get back to tty1 with all of the kernel messages and a login prompt. Is there a reason that I'm not automatically presented with the login prompt? tty1.conf is stock and starts getty... Any ideas?
[05:02] <bnjmn> it removed the mail indicator for me... i just had mail and sound though... i had to restart the indicator-applet (remove / add) as well
[05:03] <bnjmn> i bet it includes mail, chat, and that unity thing whatever it is
[05:03] <xk0beda1> also it doesn't detect up to 4 like you said its just 2 which is mind blowing at least for me since that makes no sense at all
[05:03] <maquis> okay, trying to follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades for my desktop.  It's currently running Lucid, so I opened up UpdateManager and clicked Check.  All it said was "Your system is up-to-date".  I didn't get a box offering to let me upgrade
[05:03] <ZykoticK9> eroick, i'd recommend repeating the same question in #ubuntu-server
[05:03] <izinucs> eroick: if nobody here knows check in #ubuntu-server
[05:03] <lapa> where is the chinese ?
[05:03] <gilaniali> i ran edquota username and it opened an editor for me to edit the values
[05:03] <tensorpudding> lapa: in #ubuntu-cn
[05:03] <gilaniali> but what do the soft and hard limits refer to it? Mb, Gb?
[05:03] <eroick> ZykoticK9, izinucs, will do. thanks.
[05:04] <maquis> oh wait... might've just found it
[05:04] <h00k> !cn | lapa
[05:04] <Sickler> I am looking to personalize a distro in vmplayer to produce an install cd, is there a way / program i can use or this
[05:05] <maquis> in case anyone else asks about this, you have to fix your settings to say that you want all releases...
[05:05] <atude> I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this?
[05:05] <xk0beda1> so.... guys..... I installed a 64 bit ubuntu and its only giving me 2gb out of 6.
[05:05] <h00k> !remaster | Sickler
[05:05] <maquis> is there a way to pass that on to someone with rights to edit the documentation?
[05:05] <Sickler> h00k: thanks
[05:05] <izinucs> xk0beda1: how many memory sticks do you have
[05:06] <ZykoticK9> maquis, by default LTS will only upgrade to LTS (working as designed really)
[05:06] <xk0beda1> 3 sticks 2 gb each
[05:06] <Jordan_U> maquis: It's a wiki, you can fix it yourself.
[05:06] <maquis> Jordan_U: Ah... I thought I would need special perms, so I didn't try...  :)
[05:06] <izinucs> xk0beda1: have you run memtest?
[05:06] <Jordan_U> maquis: Also, that is mentioned on that page: "Change the Release Upgrade drop down to "Normal Releases" and close the application
[05:06] <xk0beda1> on ubuntu? no I have not ill look up how to do that
[05:07] <Fing3rz> how would I get a MCP61 High Definition Audio sound card working?
[05:07] <izinucs> xk0beda1: usually the option is on boot in the grub menu
[05:07] <xk0beda1> alright. but mem test that sounds to me like it'll test my memory, which works on windows, is that correct or will it just configure something in ubuntu?
[05:07] <xk0beda1> that is if it finds a problem which it should
[05:08] <izinucs> xk0beda1: it tests your ram for issues..
[05:08] <Jordan_U> xk0beda1: What is the output of "free -m"?
[05:09] <maquis> Jordan_U: really?  I apparently missed that
[05:09] <maquis> boy... i must be blind
[05:09] <deryl> ah hah! its NOT specifically kdm causing me issues. its the fglrx driver IN COMBO with kdm. kdm doesn't completely reset X on logout, and the fglrx driver isn't completely reinitialized so the screen corrupts. if I don't run the fglrx module I don't have the problem.
[05:09] <xk0beda1> I logged back in windows so I can't do that right now.. and yea like I said it'll test my ram for issues but obviosuly there are none with my ram if it works on w7 no ? its just a problem with ubuntu detecting?
[05:10] <izinucs> xk0beda1: special motherboard settings?
[05:10] <izinucs> aka bios settings?
[05:10] <deryl> If you take your screen on logging out of X, and make the bottom 1/2 black, then make the top half full of ---------- (make these solid lines not dotted) the space of a normal scanline on the screen, it looks like someone took the scrreen and scrunched it up
[05:10] <xk0beda1> Ooooh yes actually I have to change my ram timings
[05:11] <xk0beda1> or else windows doesn't boot up, I forgot about that
[05:11] <xk0beda1> it was 8-8-18 and I think I have it at 8-8-21 now
[05:11] <izinucs> xk0beda1: you overclocking?
[05:11] <freakabcd> i want to install the 64-bit version, but the download page says if you need full support for 32-bit code, use just the x86 images
[05:11] <xk0beda1> yea my mobo has a dummy OC so I have that on
[05:11] <freakabcd> whay is this? i thought 32-bit binaries execute cleanly on a 64-bit system
[05:11] <deryl> freakabcd ~ well the only other thing you can do is install the lib32-compat libraries
[05:11] <Jordan_U> xk0beda1: Good to hear that linux deals with the issue more gracefully than windows :)
[05:12] <freakabcd> deryl, yeah. and that takes care of 32-bit binaries
[05:12] <freakabcd> so why the recommendation that for "full support of 32-bit use x86 images" ?
[05:12] <ZykoticK9> freakabcd, install ia32-libs, AND check out the program getlibs for 32bit support on 64bit OS
[05:12] <xk0beda1> yea that's nice to know it still lets me use it.. so is running that mem test gonna fix it or what can I do
[05:12] <Kilowatt> Pardon the cut-in, but the code red is wearing off and I have A question before my typing loses all intelligibility: I'm trying to put Maverick on my laptop and I manage to boot it from the USB drive I've mounted and installed it on, but when I go to the main GUI and attempt to run the trial mode to see if it even works, I get hit with "/casper/vmlinuz: file not found"- it also does this for the install. Is this a known issue? If so
[05:12] <ghost> helllo
[05:12] <Jordan_U> freakabcd: It's a controversial decision, most of the community disagrees with that statement.
[05:12] <freakabcd> are there 32-bit binaries that don;t work properly on 64-bit even with all the compatibility libs, etc. ?
[05:13] <freakabcd> Jordan_U, ah, ok.
[05:13] <Jordan_U> freakabcd: No, there aren't.
[05:13] <quiescens> the most likely issue is any kernel level drivers that might not have a 64-bit version
[05:13] <Jordan_U> freakabcd: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940
[05:13] <ZykoticK9> Jordan_U, I like the current "32bit recommended" a LOT more then the "64bit NOT recommended" it was before
[05:13] <Guest28960> i have a problem
[05:13] <xk0beda1> uh so yea how do I make it so that linux detects my ram timings
[05:13] <izinucs> that's why we're all here
[05:14] <xk0beda1> im here because I think you guys are all awesome, actually
[05:14] <deryl> freakabcd ~ hehe i guess zykotick9 and jordan_u pretty much answered it
[05:14] <ZykoticK9> freakabcd, Jordan_U re:are there 32bit programs that don't work? --- yes there are SOME, but very few
[05:14] <deryl> noticed as I was typing
[05:14] <Jordan_U> ZykoticK9: Can you name one that will not work even in a 32 bit chroot?
[05:14] <izinucs> freakabcd: Citrix doesn't have a 64bit client
[05:14] <Guest28960> well i just installed ubuntu 5.1 to my imb t22 and it will not pick up my wireless card
[05:15] <xk0beda1> sooooo
[05:15] <xk0beda1> change ram timings on ubuntu to what I have on w7. how to do this
[05:15] <izinucs> Guest28960: DOH! ... 5.1 .. really?  get something newer
[05:15] <ZykoticK9> Jordan_U, doh - i've never gone the 32bit chroot method - so no I can't say that.  What I can say is a couple of 32bit emulators do NOT work with the 64bit ia32libs method.
[05:15] <ZykoticK9> Jordan_U, :)
[05:15] <Jordan_U> Guest28960: There has never been a 5.1 release of Ubuntu, only 5.04 and 5.10. Both of those releases have not been supported for a long time now though.
[05:16] <Kilowatt> *cough*
[05:16] <izinucs> xk0beda1: there's also ##linux .. sometimes it helps
[05:16] <Guest28960> yea i have 5.10
[05:16] <Guest28960> but i say 5.1 for short
[05:16] <izinucs> Guest28960: that would be breezy badger.. 5 years old
[05:16] <xk0beda1> this place is so aweosme though
[05:16] <Jordan_U> Guest28960: Please install a supported release of Ubuntu then, like 10.04 or 10.10.
[05:16] <izinucs> Guest28960: it's no longer supported
[05:17] <Kilowatt> I'm trying to put Maverick on my laptop and I manage to boot it from the USB drive I've mounted and installed it on, but when I go to the main GUI and attempt to run the trial mode to see if it even works, I get hit with "/casper/vmlinuz: file not found"- it also does this for the install. Is this a known issue? If so, is there a place I can find a fix?
[05:17] <Guest28960> but when i instal the updates it laggs
[05:17] <Guest28960> alot
[05:17] <XP1>     what's the simplest way to create a keyboard shortcut that runs something?
[05:18] <brad__> What should I do if /dev/dsp is missing?
[05:18] <izinucs> Guest28960: there are no updates.. the repos for 5.10 are long gone.. your system can't find the repos
[05:18] <Jordan_U> brad__: Use padsp or aoss.
[05:18] <Jordan_U> brad__: That has been a popular question recently for some reason :)
[05:18] <ZykoticK9> XP1, System / Preferences / Keyboard Shortcuts
[05:18] <Guest28960> im talkin bout the new releses of ubuntu
[05:18] <XP1> ok
[05:18] <izinucs> Kilowatt: could be an issue with how the live distro was put on the usb.. might try a cd
[05:19] <tyoc213> What is the difference between desktop and server? I mean I can run and addapt a desktop to run servers and so on, so what is the "real" difference?
[05:19] <Kilowatt> Alas, I'm hosed CD-Wise.
[05:19] <brad__> Jordan_U, thanks :)
[05:19] <ZykoticK9> tyoc213, now a days - almost nothing!
[05:19] <tyoc213> the only thing I see different is the iso size...
[05:20] <tyoc213> but I dont know what is the difference :S
[05:20] <ZykoticK9> tyoc213, server "shouldn't" have a GUI installed
[05:20] <tensorpudding> tyoc213: Ubuntu desktop runs a lot of stuff that a server doesn't need.
[05:20] <Guest28960> well whats the best ubuntu i can install for my ibm t22 laptop
[05:20] <lapa> how to use myeclipse in ubuntu?
[05:20] <anubhav> tyoc213: reliablity
[05:20] <tyoc213> ZykoticK9, like I know it has the interface
[05:20] <Jordan_U> Guest28960: Could you try to be more clear. Are you using an obsolete version of Ubuntu because recent versions run too slowly on your hardware? If so then you should instead look at Xubuntu or Lubuntu which are lightweight yet fully up to date and supported.
[05:20] <ZykoticK9> tyoc213, tensorpudding has a point as well
[05:20] <izinucs> Guest28960: 10.04 is supported for the next 3 years.. I have it on my t42
[05:20] <ZykoticK9> tyoc213, by default servers is CLI (no-GUI) only
[05:21] <tyoc213> I see
[05:21] <anubhav> tyoc213: do you mean the diffrence between server and desktop Hardware?
[05:21] <Guest28960> but the spec are alot different
[05:21] <tensorpudding> tyoc213: Also, most people create servers which have to be locked-down and hardened for security purposes, and desktop Ubuntu probably would need a lot of work to get tere
[05:21] <tyoc213> no... there are out there real srevers that even let you hot plug ;)
[05:21] <ZykoticK9> tyoc213, my point, was that it "should" stay that way.  Your right, you can install services on desktop JUST fine ;)
[05:21] <Jordan_U> tyoc213: The only difference is in the packages installed by default. Any "desktop" install can be completely transformed to use the same packages as the "server" install, and visa-versa
[05:22] <tensorpudding> tyoc213: and in my humble opinion, Ubuntu isn't really what I'd use for a server.
[05:22]  * Jordan_U notes that wikipedia is hosted on Ubuntu servers
[05:22] <tyoc213> OK, I think I get the main points, thanks people :)
[05:22] <ZykoticK9> tensorpudding, google would disagree ;) </ot>
[05:23] <freakabcd> Jordan_U, so which packages do i need after my 64-bit install? ia32libs, lib32-compat, ...? i ask because i don;t know the names of these packages
[05:23] <atude> I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/byR017b6 <-- how do I fix this?
[05:23] <buddhi> how to connect usb modem in ubuntu
[05:23] <buddhi> ??
[05:23] <ZykoticK9> tyoc213, ia32-libs
[05:24] <xk0beda1>  change ram timings on ubuntu to what I have on w7. how to do this
[05:24] <izinucs> atude: did you run .. sudo apt-get -f install .. like it suggested?
[05:24] <freakabcd> xk0beda1, thats really not an ubuntu question.. #kernel, #kernelnewbies, #linux, etc. can most likely help you with that
[05:24] <Guest28960> what the best relesed ubuntu out is good for the ibm t22
[05:25] <Jordan_U> freakabcd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790
[05:25] <tensorpudding> xk0beda1: fairly sure that RAM timings are handled in the BIOS
[05:25] <tensorpudding> xk0beda1: I am fairly sure you can't change that stuff while the computer is running
[05:25] <buddhi> i am having several problems after installin ubuntu in my dell inspiron 1410 laptop so plzzz i need help
[05:25] <pnunn> Whats with this stuffed up distribution!! Why the hell doesn't the desktop partitioner have raid in it?
[05:25] <xk0beda1> right, but I have it changed in w7 bios. so is there a separate bios for linux that I need to change it in?
[05:25] <tensorpudding> xk0beda1: well, maybe not
[05:25] <tensorpudding> xk0beda1: there is only one BIOS
[05:25] <xk0beda1> sorry it's the firm time im trying to use linux
[05:25] <xk0beda1> okay so what can I do
[05:26] <tensorpudding> xk0beda1: if you set it in the BIOS, it should work irrespective of the OS
[05:27] <ZykoticK9> freakabcd, sorry my last post was suppose to be to you.  ia32-libs first then getlibs (as Jordan_U suggested) for specific packages
[05:27] <izinucs> xk0beda1: there's also #ubuntu-offtopic if you wanna give that a try
[05:28] <xk0beda1> so what can be another reason for it seeing 2gb
[05:28] <atude> izinucs: yes, I get the same exact error
[05:28] <freakabcd> ZykoticK9, yeah i saw the message. thanks
[05:28] <xk0beda1> il try that
[05:28] <atude> izinucs: keep in mind, it stuck in this circular predependency checl
[05:28] <freakabcd> tensorpudding, "Removed on-fly memory timings change (unstable)" Enhancements in v2.00 for memtest :)
[05:28] <izinucs> atude: how about .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:29] <freakabcd> so it appears that long ago they got rid of such functionality. but most certainly is possible while system is online
[05:29] <andre__> Hi!
[05:30] <atude> izinucs: same thing.. actually, returns some error complaining about libc6 being unpacked already
[05:30] <atude> izinucs: otherwise, same exact thing
[05:30] <izinucs> atude: weird.. do you have a separate /home partition?
[05:30] <atude> izinucs: no
[05:31] <izinucs> atude: there's a command someone else will have to give you the right syntax for.. but it's something like sudo dpkg -i --reconfigure
[05:31] <maquis> hmmm... my upgrade to maverick just failed with "'E:Couldn't configure pre-depend x11-common for x11-xkb-utils, probably a dependency cycle.'"  Anyone know anything about this?
[05:32] <AegNuddel> yeah my sis can't even GET to it to upgrade
[05:32] <ZykoticK9> atude, you might want to try the general (if you haven't already) apt fix of "sudo apt-get -f install"
[05:32] <Crash1hd> anyone know how I can make this code work with spaces? http://www.pastie.org/1219958 <-- for example if I have a folder called "new folder" it trys to svn add new and svn add folder not svn add "new folder"
[05:32] <izinucs> ZykoticK9: suggested earlier.. same issue for him
[05:33] <ZykoticK9> izinucs, k - sorry, i wasn't really following the issue, just read the last message.  my bad.
[05:33] <izinucs> ZykoticK9: no worries.. jump right in
[05:36] <DEMNVT> Hi all
[05:36] <DEMNVT> Do USB devices only show up in lsusb if they have a driver loaded or something? Or should I be able to see any USB device?
[05:36] <izinucs> DEMNVT: depends on the device. what is it?
[05:36] <DEMNVT> Trying to get a Powerware UPS to work with nut but the bloody thing doesn't show up using lsusb on any ubuntu system
[05:36] <atude> ZykoticK9: yeah, izinucs already suggested that, and it doesn't do any good
[05:36] <DEMNVT> even though it shows on Windows fine as soon as I connect it
[05:37] <DEMNVT> driving me nuts :(
[05:37] <DEMNVT> parden the pun :p
[05:37] <ZykoticK9> atude, ya, i got that impress, sorry i don't have anything else to suggest.  good luck man.
[05:37] <izinucs> DEMNVT: after plugging it in open a terminal and type dmesg.. at the end it should give you a mount point
[05:37] <MTec007> hello, I have a wifi card that is fully capable of N speeds and a router to go with it, but under linux it will not connect to N speeds, but only 54mbps instead. i found this post that pertains to my card but no solution was offered. linux has the driver, rt2860 but it wont connect to my b/g/N router at all but WILL connect to a b/g router, and i have also tried loading the windows driver for it through ndiswrapper. with ndiswrapper
[05:37] <MTec007>  it will connect to my b/g/n router but only at 54mbps. any insight? http://goo.gl/xl61
[05:38] <DEMNVT> izinucs: that was actually what I was going to try next. Thanks for confirming
[05:38] <DEMNVT> will tailing /var/log/messages also be helpful?
[05:38] <izinucs> DEMNVT: not sure
[05:38] <DEMNVT> I've seen posts from others with the same UPS and it does show stuff in lsusb... so I must be missing something I think
[05:39] <DEMNVT> izinucs: Ok. thanks.. will check dmesg
[05:39] <eroick> with a fresh ubuntu server install, I'm being sent to tty7 (or whatever CTRL-ALT-F7) is. is there a way to change this?	
[05:41] <Guest36255> Hello, everyone
[05:41] <Exploiter> How can i move all my files name songs1.mp3 to songs100.mp4 to /songs what command to move all files whos name starts with songs (not format) ??
[05:41] <hellslinger> does anyone know how I can get back the ability to hit Ctrl Alt F{1,6} and get a terminal login?
[05:42] <ZykoticK9> eroick, i'd try reasking the same question in #ubuntu-server
[05:42] <Exploiter> How can i move all my files name songs1.mp3 to songs100.mp4 to /songs what command to move all files whos name starts with songs (not format) ??
[05:42] <ZykoticK9> Exploiter, "mv songs* /songs"
[05:43] <izinucs> Exploiter: mv /path/to/songs* /path/to/songs/
[05:43] <Exploiter> ok let me try
[05:43] <MTec007> ZykoticK9, izinucs that wont match the 1 through 100 though
[05:43] <ZykoticK9> MTec007, i'm guess that was only an example - it moves everything starting with "songs"
[05:44] <toonacid> Just came to quickly say, updated my server to 10.10, and it worked great, after fixing config files, and some maintencance. :) Also, desktop upgrades always seem to fail lol. I had to reinstall my desktop many times over before it worked right. But.. Fresh install is better anyhow. :) 10.10 is really nice, besides a few bugs here and there (like my jumpy mouse :( )
[05:44] <ZykoticK9> MTec007, s/guess/guessing
[05:44] <Exploiter> error: cannot move fiel to subdirector itself..
[05:44] <MTec007> ZykoticK9, unfortunatly i cant remember the correct command to do so..
[05:44] <ZykoticK9> Exploiter, does "pwd" currently say "/songs"?
[05:45] <Exploiter> nop,, in directory of songs.mp*
[05:45] <Exploiter> "/songs" is in same dir
[05:45] <LGSilva> hello. Im using ubuntu 10.10 on a dell mini 9 netbook. how can I see a list of detected hardware?
[05:45] <toonacid> Oh, by the way, anyone using KDE in 10.10, have you noticed, while using Firefox, that the screen "sticks" to what it showed before, and it doesn't update the display. I've had it happen in quite a few apps. It's got to be one of the worst bugs afaik, worse than my mouse. Any ideas?
[05:46] <ZykoticK9> MTec007, the bash number would require a [0-100] but i couldn't tell you the proper placeholder's either, so mine might fail ;)
[05:46] <toonacid> LGSilva: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=402065
[05:47] <LGSilva> thank you toonacid
[05:47] <bobthemilkman> Is there any way to properly test the connection between two computers?  Allegedly this network is supposed to be 1000gbps, so I'd like to confirm that.
[05:47] <Jordan_U> Exploiter: mv songs*.mp3 songs/
[05:47] <bobthemilkman> Obviously most download/upload tests will be limited by write speed, is there any better way to check?
[05:47] <MTec007> Exploiter, mv /path/to/songs[1-100].mp* mv /path/to/songs/ should be right
[05:47] <MTec007> erm
[05:47] <MTec007> Exploiter, mv /path/to/songs[1-100].mp* /path/to/songs/ should be right
[05:48] <Exploiter> ok worked, it moves all files to my root
[05:48] <Exploiter> :|
[05:48] <lucent> hey, what are the correct permissions for directory entity /var/lock ?
[05:48] <Exploiter> i should had use /parth/to/songs
[05:48] <lucent> I'm seeing it's root.root 1777
[05:48] <mattcodes> how do I set a shortkey to min/max tweekdeck?
[05:48] <MTec007> Exploiter, you can still move them though
[05:48] <Jordan_U> Exploiter: What is the the exact command you used? I'm guessing you had an extra space.
[05:48] <ZykoticK9> lucent, "drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 80 2010-10-13 07:52 /var/lock/"
[05:48] <ppq> lucent: same here - drwxrwxrwt  2 root root   40 2010-10-14 06:22 .
[05:48] <lucent> ZykoticK9: thanks, and ppq thank you
[05:49] <fearthepenguin> bobthemilkman,  download the file to either /dev/shm (ram) or /dev/null (bit bucket)
[05:49] <dan5790> Is ubuntu 10.04 supposed to install xchat by default? I'm sure it did before.....
[05:49] <Exploiter> mv song* /songs
[05:49] <lucent> I think JAVA program not having access to serial port device /dev/ttyUSB0 is a strange problem for me
[05:49] <izinucs> dan5790: nope
[05:49] <tottiq> dan5790, nope
[05:49] <dan5790> ok ty
[05:49] <ZykoticK9> dan5790, no - xchat NOT default
[05:49] <Jordan_U> dan5790: No, now there's just empathy by default.
[05:49] <ppq> dan5790: no, xchat isn't installed by default
[05:49] <lucent> I'm trying to use 'arduino' ide which is a java program, I used to be able to access /dev/ttyUSB0 without any problem, and permissions are not the issue because I've tried as root ... so now I'm confused
[05:50] <toonacid> lucent: Mine shows drwxrwxrwt  4 root     root       80 2010-10-13 21:09 lock
[05:50] <dan5790> Which package installs the proper xchat and not the gnome skinned one? I seemingly cant access any features lol
[05:50] <lucent> now I'm pretty sure it's not a locking issue
[05:50] <MTec007> hello, I have a wifi card that is fully capable of N speeds and a router to go with it, but under linux it will not connect to N speeds, but only 54mbps instead. i found this post that pertains to my card but no solution was offered. linux has the driver, rt2860 but it wont connect to my b/g/N router at all but WILL connect to a b/g router, and i have also tried loading the windows driver for it through ndiswrapper. with ndiswrapper
[05:50] <MTec007>  it will connect to my b/g/n router but only at 54mbps. any insight? http://goo.gl/xl61
[05:50] <Jordan_U> dan5790: "xchat"
[05:50] <fearthepenguin> lucent,  are you sure its on usb0?  time dmesg and see what usb port the arduino bound to
[05:51] <fearthepenguin> s/time/type/
[05:51] <lucent> fearthepenguin: Yes, I do see some errors though
[05:51] <mee> one of my shortcuts doesnt work. every time i click it it loads and then does nothing
[05:51] <lucent> "[83232.612858] mct_u232 ttyUSB0: usb_submit_urb(read bulk) failed pipe 0x40410480 err -22"
[05:51] <lucent> many of these ^
[05:51] <fearthepenguin> lucent, looks like the ftdi chip might be having issues.  this a generic arduino or a clone?
[05:51] <ZykoticK9> mee, more details please.  what is the shortcut?  what command is it running?  is it a terminal script?
 its a shortcut for a game in wine
[05:52] <lucent> fearthepenguin: the fdti chip is in my adapter and not on the arduino board, is that what you mean?
[05:52] <ZykoticK9> mee, ahh is the command a single line?  can you paste it in the channel, or pastebin?
[05:52] <fearthepenguin> lucent:  if its a generic aduino, it will have an ftdi chip on the board. do you have a mini or something else?
[05:53] <mee> env WINEPREFIX="/home/rinehart/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Counter Strike Source\Counter-Strike Source.exe"
[05:53] <lucent> fearthepenguin: mine has a serial RS-232 port, it's a clone... I've used that before
[05:54] <lucent> fearthepenguin: the problem is my usb <-> serial converter device which is its own device and not an arduino component :)
[05:54] <ZykoticK9> mee, try: env WINEPREFIX="/home/rinehart/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Counter/ Strike/ Source\Counter-Strike/ Source.exe"
[05:54] <fearthepenguin> lucent:  got it.  unplug the arduino from the adapter, unplug the usb adapter and plug it back in and see if you still get those errors in dmesg
[05:54] <ZykoticK9> mee, try: env WINEPREFIX="/home/rinehart/.wine" wine "C:\Program/ Files\Counter/ Strike/ Source\Counter-Strike/ Source.exe"
[05:54] <lucent> fearthepenguin: ah, okay
[05:54] <dizko> Gnea: still around?  fixed my issue =) =)
[05:54] <fearthepenguin> lucent: yeah, it sounds like your ftdi adapter may be on the fritz, but trying to eliminate the arduino connected to it from the equation.
[05:54] <Exploiter> jodan_u please help
[05:54] <ZykoticK9> mee, sorry - the 2nd one, missied the Program/ Files the first time
[05:54] <Exploiter> mv songs* songs/ not working
[05:55] <Exploiter> cannot move dire to its subdire
[05:55] <corpse> hola...
[05:55] <MTec007> Exploiter, mv /path/to/songs[1-100].mp* /path/to/songs/ should be right
[05:55] <Exploiter> ok
[05:55] <bobthemilkman> fearthepenguin: I'm actually on a WinXP machine, but I was hoping to run a test through an SSH to my linux server.  Is there any easy way to do this without having to reboot to my windows machine to linux? :S
[05:55] <lucent> fearthepenguin: see dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/512890/
 nope still doesnt work
[05:56] <Some_Person> Is there any way to make everything on my screen appear slightly smaller so that my netbook's screen can show more stuff at a time? I have a lot of dialogs cut off by the gnome-panel
[05:56] <ZykoticK9> mee, try that command in a terminal window.  does it work?
[05:56] <Exploiter> Mtec007 still same, cannot move XX to a subdirectory of itself
[05:56] <corpse> hola necesito ayuda.
[05:56] <fearthepenguin> bobthemilkman:  the linux machine is up yes?
[05:56] <ZykoticK9> !es | corpse
[05:56] <bobthemilkman> Yeah, I'm SSHed into it right now.
 no
[05:57] <ZykoticK9> mee, what is the error/output?
[05:57] <maco> Exploiter: thats ok. itll still move everything *else*
[05:57] <lucent> fearthepenguin: my hardware is bought from http://www.pfranc.com/usb/usb.shtml
[05:57] <maco> Exploiter: if you do "ls" you'll see it moved all the individual files
[05:57] <cartes> Tabmow:  You here?
[05:57] <lucent> I know it worked in the same physical configuration, with an older kernel from Lucid
 there is none
[05:58] <Exploiter> maco :| i m really stupid, yes you are right.. haha
[05:58] <fearthepenguin> lucent: err 21 is "hardware didn't respond"  if I remember correctly. Do you have any other machine you can test that adapter on?
[05:58] <ZykoticK9> mee, what about: WINEPREFIX="/home/rinehart/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Counter Strike Source\Counter-Strike Source.exe"
[05:58] <ZykoticK9> mee, sorry you need to add the \s
[05:59] <fearthepenguin> bobthemilkman: you could use wget to fetch a file from a connected host and just output to /dev/shm .  You just want to test your download rate right?
[05:59] <lucent> fearthepenguin: no, I can try with older kernel, or dual-boot into microsoft OS to verify the hardware... but I'm very certain the hardware is functional and this is a driver or java problem
[05:59] <bobthemilkman> fearthepenguin: That will be bottlenecked by the file read speed.
[05:59] <gymophett> I know this sounds stupid. But is there like, a weight loss program application thing for Ubuntu? :P
[06:00] <bobthemilkman> I think I might do something like scp IP:`yes` /dev/null
[06:00] <hasek79> how do i get this usb head set to work its headphones with a mic so i can talk but i dont know if i need a plugin or to set something up. i dont know if its working
[06:00] <fearthepenguin> bobthemilkman: source the file from /dev/shm and download it to /dev/null
[06:00] <bobthemilkman> What's the name of that RAMdrive FS they have these days... tmpfs?
[06:01] <bobthemilkman> source the file?
[06:01] <mee> its not working but even if i dont use the shortcut it still doesnt work
[06:01] <lucent> hasek79: if it's working then you will be able to see it as a recording device in System | Preferences | Sound
[06:01] <fearthepenguin> lucent: could try inserting the mct_u232 module with debug enabled.  rmmod mct_u232; modprobe mct_u232 debug=1
[06:02] <hasek79> no there is no signal is there something i need to do?
[06:02] <deadroot> hello all
[06:02] <fearthepenguin> bobthemilkman:   yeah tmpfs is ram and is what /dev/shm is.   if you put your file in /dev/shm and then download it to /dev/null, you have cut the disk out totally
[06:02] <deadroot> newbie here
[06:03] <bobthemilkman> I see!
[06:03] <RudyValencia> Hi, I'm having trouble with wireless on my laptop. b43 crashes because of a conflict with 3c59x, and ndiswrapper fails to yield any networks like it should
[06:03] <eroick> when I ssh into my box, i can login successfully but I don't get a shell. locally, i can see that the user has logged in from a remote IP and is running a shell. ssh -vvv produces nothing of interest... any ideas? I've tried switching between bash/dash for default shell...
[06:03] <fearthepenguin> bobthemilkman:  of course you wont have a file left in /dev/null being  the bit bucket, but you will have eliminated the disk
[06:03] <lucent> fearthepenguin: An error has occurred in the Pastebin software. Please notify the administrators.
[06:03] <bobthemilkman> So on the server, I can sudo cp TESTFILE /dev/shm, and then on this machine scp IP:/dev/shm /dev/shm?
[06:04] <bobthemilkman> Or /dev/null, either or.
[06:04] <RudyValencia> What can I do? I want working WiFi...
[06:04] <mrbook> can't get ubuntu to full screen
[06:04] <fearthepenguin> bobthemilkman: yes that would be all network IO except for caching  that could occur
[06:04] <deadroot> i'm using putty to access a ubuntu server, and i needed to use 'screen' to continue the execution of a twenty four hour build when i inevitably have to close the putty program
[06:04] <fearthepenguin> lucent:  hehehe
[06:04] <deadroot> is it possible at all to resume the view of the screen from another putty session?
[06:05] <fearthepenguin> bobthemilkman:  no real way to eliminate that though
[06:05] <RudyValencia> deadroot: screen -r
[06:05] <lucent> fearthepenguin: okay, so we will do it again... ttp://pastebin.com/Cn8KcKzy
[06:05] <deadroot> RudyValencia: thank you
[06:05] <RudyValencia> :D
[06:05] <brad__> I can't create a new account on launchpad to report a bug. It won't send me a confirmation code.. just an email saying I might have forgotten my password?
[06:05] <mrbook> Help - i can't full screen
[06:05] <shaheenery> I can't seem to get my hard drive to mount read and write even though the fstab seems to be good
[06:05] <RudyValencia> I've never had problems with my WiFi via ndiswrapper before
[06:05] <bobthemilkman> fearthepenguin: Well, the server's currently nowhere near its 8GB of RAM usage, so I think it'll be okay.
[06:06] <RudyValencia> but b43 conflicts with 3c59x due to a Debian bug
[06:06] <zhengshi> Does LibreOffice have a PPA?
[06:06] <RudyValencia> (I don't like Debian beacuse they're missing a lot of the Ubuntu stuff)
[06:06] <RudyValencia> ah
[06:06] <RudyValencia> yes there is
[06:06] <ZykoticK9> deadroot, use <ctrl><a><d> to disconnect from a screen session, then the "screen -r" to reconnect
[06:07] <amalloy> how
[06:08] <amalloy> er, sorry. how can i get the Welcome to Ubuntu banner not to display when i ssh in? i've tried moving /var/run/motd, but it still prints. do i have to reboot or something?
[06:08] <fearthepenguin> bobthemilkman:  yeah you should be covered
[06:08] <fearthepenguin> lucent: this a belkin device?
[06:08] <bobthemilkman> I'm gonna go ahead and assume that even on a 1gbps network, the memory thoroughput is much faster :3
[06:08] <cartes> Hi all
[06:08] <shaheenery> here is my fstab line for my drive:   http://pastie.org/1220009
[06:08] <zhengshi> Hi
[06:08] <ZykoticK9> bobthemilkman, by orders of magnitude
[06:09] <cartes> any Ubuntu Mirror Managers in here?
[06:09] <bobthemilkman> That's what I thought.
[06:09] <lucent> fearthepenguin: I mentioned, it is a "Purple USB" serial converter, 'U232-P9(2.4)' from pfranc distributor http://www.pfranc.com/usb/usb.shtml
[06:09] <lucent> works great except now with the Maverick kernel 2.6.35-22-generic
[06:09] <fearthepenguin> lucent: ah right.  I ask because I do see some really old issues with the belkin adapter using that chip
[06:09] <fearthepenguin> lucent: but nothing recent
[06:10] <fearthepenguin> lucent: I'd try to revert to the older kernel and insmod it debug and see what happens
[06:10] <Niq> Hey
[06:10] <Omen_20> Is there any way to get Banshee in the sound menu like Rhythmbox?
[06:10] <lucent> fearthepenguin: okay.
[06:10] <fearthepenguin> lucent: it feels like a hardware issue, but stranger things have happened in regressions
[06:10] <lucent> fearthepenguin: I'm noticing more problems than benefits on my hardware, with the new kernel. Hey, this is progress, right?
[06:11] <deadroot> i'm getting: "There is no screen to be resumed."
[06:11] <fearthepenguin> lucent: it's always progress for someone
[06:11] <ZykoticK9> Omen_20, IF you don't get an answer here, you might want to try repeating in #kubuntu  Best of luck.
[06:11] <lucent> it ate my firewire storage with data corruption, backups too, now serial device ... when will the hurting stop?
[06:11] <ZykoticK9> Omen_20, oh sorry - it isn't a kubuntu issue!  my bad.
[06:12] <fearthepenguin> lucent:  yike !
[06:13] <enav> hi... i want to know how to make webpages shortcuts with firefox.... i did it on 9.04 just drag and dropping the webaddres to the desktop... but now this action is not the same and create local web copies instead of web shortcuts
[06:13] <Omen_20> ZykoticK9, I found my answer. Just a simple plugin install. Thanks
[06:14] <carlotolinero> when i update to 10.10 my compiz seems not working
[06:15] <pankajm> wireless is disabled in network manager applet , and mobile broadband also doesn't appear , i was able to successfully connect using a mobile broadband connection, rfkill list all shows hard block as yes ?
[06:16] <deadroot> hmm... i seem to have fixed my problem via some kludge or it fixed itself when running 'screen -d -r'
[06:17] <deadroot> thanks again RudyValencia. it's what i wanted. :)
[06:17] <deadroot> bye
[06:17] <RudyValencia> bye
[06:17] <Sikth> Just installed Ubuntu karmic along side Fedora. Grub doesn't see fedora anymore, ideas?
[06:18] <ZykoticK9> Omen_20, nice!  and thank you - it's good to know banshee can be integrated
[06:18] <homecable> Sikth why install to linuxes for
[06:18] <homecable> linux is linux
[06:18] <carlotolinero> why my compiz not working after i upddated into 10.10
[06:19] <carlotolinero> any ideas
[06:19] <homecable> lmao
[06:19] <fearthepenguin> carlotolinero,  open a terminal,  type compiz --replace .  any errors?
[06:19] <homecable> read the err logs
[06:20] <shaheenery> OMG I can't get my mounting file permissions / samba stuff all working together
[06:20] <Sikth> homecable, because there are subtle differences between them, just using the Fedora live disc I was confused on things
[06:20] <pankajm> my wireless is disable in network manager .. any resons?
[06:20] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, right click on network manager and click enable wireless
[06:21] <davf> I'm using 10.04 and evolution and evolution --express look the same. Thanks for the help in advance
[06:21] <pankajm> not possible , its greyed out
[06:21] <carlotolinero> fearthepenguin thank you
[06:22] <carlotolinero> its working now and no errors
[06:22] <fearthepenguin> carlotolinero, no problem.
[06:22] <pankajm> hatake_kakashi: i tried rfkill list all , it shows wlan0 -- soft block no , hard block yes
[06:22] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, is wireless enabled in bios? what about pressing the wifi button?
[06:23] <pankajm> it works perfectly in windows xp in dual boot , btw i m only worried about mobile broadband , it was working once , now i cant see it in the applet's list
[06:24] <shaheenery> anyone ever seen a time when   "sudo chmod 777 file.txt" doesn't error out, but doesn't give write privilages?
[06:24] <pankajm> hatake_kakashi: but it is still inside the mobile-broadband tab..
[06:24] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, I'd check dmesg output, you might have installed a standard kernel
[06:24] <carlotolinero> fearthepenguin hey man
[06:24] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, err I meant non-standard kernel
[06:25] <pankajm> hatake_kakashi: yeah , its the ubuntu 10.04 kernel
[06:25] <zhengshi> Can I play video file when Transmission is downloading it?
[06:25] <ZykoticK9> shaheenery, FYI you can't apply linux/unix permission to a samba share
[06:25] <pankajm> hatake_kakashi: i m on xp , which software can i use to read the ext4 files?
[06:25] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, recall what you did last to make it not work.. the wireless broadband afaik is usually handled by the driver known as option
[06:26] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, I don't think there are any.. had you been on ext3 you can get ext2ifs
[06:26] <zhengshi> RT @pankajm:  i m on xp , which software can i use to read the ext4 files?
[06:26] <earthmeLon> How do I add new mime types to my server?  I have video files showing up as application/octet-stream and would like to learn how to add their mime types
[06:26] <shaheenery> ZykoticK9: I'm trying to set the directory to share to 777 so I can create a samba share where users can read/write
[06:26] <ZykoticK9> shaheenery, well 777 should give read/write/execute to everyone?!
[06:26] <shaheenery> correct
[06:27] <pankajm> hatake_kakashi: now it seems i cant detect my 3g usb modem as a modem , when i try to make a new connection , it doesn't detect it as it used to..
[06:27] <ZykoticK9> shaheenery, are you testing across Samba?  i'm sure it's a samba vs. folder permission issue then.
[06:27] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, was it detected as a flash drive? some wireless broadband modems allow you to also store or retrieve drivers from the stick itself, if so you need usb-modeswitch
[06:28] <Tarantulafudge> How can I install older releases of software?
[06:28] <shaheenery> when I "mount" the drive I can't write to it...when I "sudo mount" the drive I can't start a samba share
[06:28] <shaheenery> no, I"m not testing across samba
[06:28] <pankajm> hatake_kakashi: yeah it has storage which is detected
[06:28] <shaheenery> I am simpy in the directory in terminal
[06:28] <pankajm> i have also got those packages
[06:29] <ZykoticK9> shaheenery, seems like you have a few things going on.  are you trying to share an entire drive?  or just a folder on a drive?
[06:29] <pankajm> hatake_kakashi: i will try it and see , btw it worked without them...
[06:29] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, have you actually tried switching it back to modem mode?
[06:29] <Sickler> where are the background images in xfce stored
[06:29] <shaheenery> just a folder
[06:29] <shaheenery> http://pastie.org/1220009  this is my fstab line
[06:29] <ZykoticK9> shaheenery, and this folder can you post the ouput of "ls -ld /path/to/folder"?
[06:29] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, well it would be more ideal if you recalled what you did last to mess things up like that :) no wireless internet and no wireless broadband
[06:30] <pankajm> hatake_kakashi: modem_ode?
[06:30] <hatake_kakashi> pankajm, yes modem mode, usb-modeswitch has that capability
[06:30] <pankajm> hatake_kakashi: thanks for that info , i ll try that
[06:31] <davf> anyone know where the config files are for evolution to start clean?
[06:31] <shaheenery> shaheenery@mallow:~$ ls -ld /media/crazy_bear/CrazyBear/
[06:31] <shaheenery> drwxr-xr-x 14 shaheenery shaheenery 32768 2010-10-14 01:17 /media/crazy_bear/CrazyBear/
[06:32] <ZykoticK9> shaheenery, because you are trying to mount into /media i'm gonna have to leave you issue for someone else.  best of luck man.
[06:32] <shaheenery> ?
[06:32] <shaheenery> No, problem, but why is that?
[06:32] <ZykoticK9> shaheenery, i don't know the implications of /media - so i gotta bail
[06:32] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, are you trying to mount a directory to another directory?
[06:32] <zhengshi> How to enable IPv6 function in Transmission?
[06:33] <soroush> hello guys, how i can see my hardware info in ubutnu?
[06:33] <lucent> fearthepenguin: I've booted 2.6.32-24-generic on the same hardware configuration and the serial converter _is_ working
[06:33] <bazhang> soroush, sudo lshw
[06:33] <Sickler> where are the background images in xfce stored, they arent all in /usr/share/background as i would espect
[06:33] <ZykoticK9> shaheenery, personally i mount my drives outside of /media - and leave it for the automatic stuff.  good luck man.
[06:33] <shaheenery> just trying to mount my external hard drive so I can share a folder on it using samba
[06:34] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, why not create a directory under /mnt as root and mount it there?
[06:35] <Name141> how long ago did 10.10 release?
[06:36] <maco> Name141: sunday
[06:36] <bazhang> Name141, 4 days
[06:36] <Name141> oh, must need a new server selection then
[06:36] <Name141> (mirror)
[06:37] <Name141> yeah now it's downloading.
[06:38] <soroush> i wanna to get my vga (nvidia) info for download driver,how i can it?
[06:38] <bazhang> soroush, check in hardware drivers
[06:38] <shaheenery> hatake_kakashi: same as mounting it in media, it can't change the folder permisisons to create it as a samba share
[06:38] <soroush> i do it
[06:39] <soroush> but i dont found vga info
[06:39] <soroush> this is for my labtop
[06:40] <shaheenery> "Nautilus needs to add some permissions to your folder "CrazyBear" in order to share it....blah blah....Do you want Nautilus to add these permissions?  when I choose "add the permissions automatically"  I get an error box "could not change the permissions of folder "CrazyBear"
[06:40] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, not really, afaik HAL deals with mounting storage devices into /media and if you have a directory there with the same name as the one HAL is planning to mount it as (i.e. disk for example) HAL will create a new directory and mount the storage device there.. which is why it will get messy and thus not ideal.
[06:41] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, you'll need root permissions to do it.. I don't know of the graphical way, I deal with it via command line
[06:41] <hatake_kakashi> again its not ideal to go around changing stuff inside /media, one bad mistake and you may end up with a messy setup
[06:41] <atude> I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/27A5MEKf <-- how do I fix this?
[06:42] <A|pHA_six3> hatake_kakashi: what is the command for that
[06:42] <shaheenery> Well yeah, putting it there wasn't MY idea that's where it put it by default
[06:42] <hatake_kakashi> A|pHA_six3, chown and maybe chmod.. afaik root can only mount devices though in theory one could `hack' it to make it so that users can also mount it
[06:43] <A|pHA_six3> hatake_kakashi: gotcha just like to know everything about HAL and root permissions
[06:43] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, if you're going to mount it manually I suggest you to mount it inside /mnt instead.. there's no fancy automounting happening in /mnt and so you won't have a messy setup
[06:44] <shaheenery> but even when it's under /mnt  and I try to chmod 777 a file  it doesn't give write privilages to user

[06:44] <charlyms> ubuntu and veoh?
[06:44] <zhengshi> What's this?
[06:44] <hatake_kakashi> A|pHA_six3, or I could be wrong it might also be udev that handles it.. and most power tools are only reserved for super user
[06:44] <bazhang> ^DEMOSS^, #ubuntu-ru
[06:44] <^DEMOSS^> =) sorry
[06:44] <^DEMOSS^> ok i go ubuntu-ru

[06:45] <ranjan> Hi all
[06:45] <UNIm95> shit happens : http://www.conceivablytech.com/3421/business/microsoft-patents-gpu-accelerated-video-encoding/
[06:45] <charlyms> hi
[06:45] <ranjan> can i share my host machines pci modem to virtualbox?
[06:45] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, maybe you need to mount it with option for user to add/remove files, etc
[06:45] <hatake_kakashi> ranjan, no
[06:45] <ranjan> hatake_kakashi: why is it so?
[06:45] <bazhang> UNIm95, wrong channel
[06:46] <UNIm95> bazhang no it is right channel
[06:46] <hatake_kakashi> ranjan, its because there's no proper and stable support for PCI passthrough/hotswapping.. however its best to ask this in virtualbox support channel
[06:46] <chu_> w00t!
[06:46] <bazhang> UNIm95, its offtopic. so no its not
[06:46] <UNIm95> bazhang we would also pay for it
[06:46] <chu_> My mirror has updated, now I can join the cool people in 10.10
[06:46] <ranjan> hatake_kakashi: ok thank u.
[06:46] <bazhang> UNIm95, #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:47] <atude> I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/27A5MEKf <-- how do I fix this?
[06:47] <A|pHA_six3> atude: squashfs loop ?
[06:47] <atude> no
[06:47] <A|pHA_six3> 0_0
[06:48] <atude> ???
[06:48] <A|pHA_six3> atude: wrong channel oppps
[06:49] <Omen_20> Shotwell's upload feature is useless if it cant see your Facebook albums
[06:49] <gigglefight> hello. looking for a gnome environment that's stable on a 128mb ram older computer.
[06:49] <UNIm95> bazhang: ubuntu use GPU-Accelerated Video Encoding   via vlc totem and mplayer
[06:50] <bazhang> UNIm95, no one asked about that. dont paste link here.
[06:50] <zhengshi> The GNOME Foundation is looking for developers to enhance the developer
[06:50] <zhengshi> experience of using GTK+ to port and create applications on MeeGo
[06:50] <zhengshi> Handset devices.
[06:50] <gigglefight> xubuntu, was pretty hard on it; the computer was slow when I installed xubuntu on it.
[06:50] <chu_> gigglefight: Probably won't find a GNOME environment that's stable with 128mb. I
[06:50] <UNIm95> bazhang ok it is your choise
[06:50] <bazhang> !ot | zhengshi
[06:50] <zhengshi> When can I install Ubuntu on my mobile phone ? :D
[06:50] <tiox> gigglefight, while it's not Gnome, the XFCE or XLDE environments should fit the low memory bill.
[06:51] <bazhang> zhengshi, you cant. #ubuntu-offtopic for chat NOT here
[06:51] <chu_> gigglefight: I'm under the impression XFCE requires 256mb to run well. Perhaps one of the *Box's (OpenBox, Fluxbox) would fit your needs?
[06:51] <A|pHA_six3> zhengshi : soon
[06:51] <tiox> Well, what about Lubuntu?
[06:51] <Lewoco> How do I enable netbios name resolution for programs like 'ping'? I tried adding 'wins' to the hosts line in nsswitch.conf but this didn't help.
[06:51] <lucent> atude: are you using synaptic?
[06:51] <bullgard4> Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense?
[06:51] <lucent> atude: I think synaptic or aptitude can resolve these conflicts
[06:51] <gigglefight> thanks chu. I've tried lubuntu... :( it wasn't loading. i may reburn the disk.
[06:52] <lucent> atude: apt-get will *not*
[06:52] <A|pHA_six3> Lewoco: samba ?
[06:52] <gigglefight> laters. will look into lubuntu and box.
[06:52] <tiox> I came here to ask what "Sticky Windows" are and how they could be applied to my windowing habits.
[06:52] <Lewoco> A|pHA_six3, Yeah, I've already got samba and nmblookup can resolve names. Just stuff like ping doesn't work.
[06:53] <tiox> Use habits, how I use windows etc.
[06:53] <atude> lucent: apt-get
[06:53] <A|pHA_six3> Lewoco: ping does not work at all or just name resolution ?
[06:53] <jjs3> http://imagebin.org/118427 can someone help be solve this colour problem
[06:53] <Lewoco> A|pHA_six3, Just name resolution
[06:53] <atude> lucent: oh, how should I resolve the problem with aptitude/synaptic?
[06:54] <lucent> atude: if you have aptitude installed, just do "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade"
[06:54] <LWSDesigns> lucent apt-get -f install to fix dependencies
[06:54] <lucent> have had bad luck with 'apt-get -f install' never again!
[06:54] <tiox> What problem?
[06:54] <A|pHA_six3> Lewoco: hmm yea I dunno but that is a good question
[06:54] <tiox> jjs3, what problem?
[06:54] <hatake_kakashi> I'd advise against dist-upgrading..  it's hardly ever clean and you'll get issues
[06:55] <lucent> that's true, though safe-upgrade won't do what we want either
[06:55] <jjs3> tiox, the colors are not the same which usually doesnt happen, is it possible to change the indicator applet color to match the panel, i notice its only with some themes it will do this
[06:56] <tiox> Uh... huh?
[06:56] <hatake_kakashi> clean install is by far the most ideal, sure it'll take time to setup and all however you won't have any issues here and there just because of dist-upgrade
[06:56] <ruum> hey guys I am currently running ubuntu 10.4
[06:56] <tiox> OOH I see.
[06:56] <jjs3> tiox, theres two colors in that panel, two shades of gray, it stands out too much to me and i want to make them the same
[06:56] <jjs3> yea
[06:56] <ruum> how do I get the whole OS updated
[06:56] <atude> lucent: wtf.. I had it installed but apt-get must of uninstalled it during dist upgrade..
[06:56] <ruum> ?
[06:56] <tiox> Hmmm.
[06:57] <ruum> from 10.4 to 10.10 ?
[06:57] <tiox> Is this a color you defined?
[06:57] <atude> lucent: so I cant install it now
[06:57] <lucent> atude: aptitude is not installed by default as of Maverick, true story
[06:57] <lucent> atude: if you can get to a UI, then run synaptic
[06:57] <tiox> On 10.4 up it's a graident of grey.
[06:57] <tiox> Part of the Ambiance system theme.
[06:57] <atude> lucent: what do I do in synaptic? I was in there and could not progress much
[06:57] <LWSDesigns> yea and if memory is correct aptitude package installs are not recorded by the system manager
[06:57] <lucent> oh well
[06:57] <atude> lucent: I just get the same errors with apt-get
[06:57] <tiox> In fact, try that -- Change the theme and see if the color difference affects other themes.
[06:58] <lucent> atude: I'm thinking you might be stuck without a lot of work
[06:58] <Smail> Tell me! What is VLAN???!!!
[06:58] <lucent> stuck, without an answer unless you do a lot of work
[06:58] <lucent> reinstall time?
[06:58] <ruum> vLAN dude is called virtual lan
[06:58] <hatake_kakashi> Smail, virtual LAN, information is available on wikipedia
[06:58] <jjs3> tiox: nope, just when to customize theme and it seems to do that to quite a couple, one has the applet orange while the panel is white, i dont get it
[06:58] <ruum> and lan stands for local area network
[06:58] <earthmeLon> I am having a very hard time figuring out how to add mime types to my magic db.  Anybody here familiar with mime types ?
[06:59] <ruum> its mainly used in swithes and routers
[06:59] <atude> lucent: there's no way to just force a package to install? I'm finding that almost 100% unlikely and unrealistic.. To remove my data is too much work
[06:59] <ruum> does that answer your question smail ?
[06:59] <lucent> atude: you can set its selection status manually using 'dpkg'
[06:59] <LWSDesigns> in other words you can have one dhcp server setup for multiple subnets with vlans
[06:59] <atude> lucent: what do you mean?
[06:59] <lucent> atude: I only know where to point you to find out yourself, I have no interest to do this homework for you sorry
[06:59] <ruum> so can anyone answer my question
[07:00] <tiox> Alright, I learned what sticky windows are.
[07:00] <ruum> is it possible to update the whole OS?
[07:00] <bazhang> !upgrade > ruum
[07:00] <tiox> Also jjs3, I don't know.
[07:00] <atude> lucent: I'm not requesting you do any "homework".. if you know of a solution, feel free to let me know, otherwise just say you don't....
[07:00] <atude> lucent: thanks though
[07:00] <caoyuangulang> echo data
[07:00] <tiox> I never encountered this problem. Maybe removing the applet, then adding it back in again in the hopes it refreshes the colors?
[07:01] <lucent> atude: I know only that it has something to do with selection statuses, and I have no interest to find out what those are really, so good luck to you :)
[07:01] <atude> lucent: selection status.. thanks :O
[07:01] <ubuntu__> how do I get the ip of my local printer?
[07:02] <jjs3> tiox: tried but no luck
[07:02] <tiox> Again, not a problem I can quite investigate... what programs add these applets?
[07:02] <lucent> atude: selection status is shown in output of 'dpkg -l' like ii means install-desired and installed,  I think.   Somehow you can manually set the status of what is desired
[07:03] <RudyValencia> OK, I'm trying to get WiFi working on my lappy (Dell Inspiron 8200).
[07:03] <tiox> Or if they're already there, what applets?
[07:03] <lucent> that's whoosh way over what I care to learn about right now, I don't mean to be rude though
[07:03] <soroush> how i can protect folders and file in ububtu ? same hide or lock/
[07:03] <hatake_kakashi> ubuntu__, check under router's web UI?
[07:03] <lucent> soroush: nothing easy to do
[07:03] <RudyValencia> b43 (the WiFi driver) conflicts with 3c59x (the Ethernet driver) and causes a crash
[07:04] <RudyValencia> (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/533335)
[07:04] <Ryen> !truecrypt | soroush
[07:04] <lucent> soroush: there's an encrypted home folder, or Private folder that requires password, but nothing per-folder arbitrarily
[07:04] <RudyValencia> and I can't get ndiswrapper to work
[07:04] <hatake_kakashi> RudyValencia, tried linux-backports?
[07:04] <ubuntu__> hatake_kakashi, thanks. i forgot to turn the printer on though <_<
[07:04] <RudyValencia> Backports? No.
[07:04] <jjs3> tiox: indicator applet and indicator applet session
[07:04] <RudyValencia> I don't like backports.
[07:05] <soroush> ok
[07:05] <deadroot> hello all again :)
[07:05] <hatake_kakashi> RudyValencia, tried compat-wireless/wireless-testing instead? :)
[07:05] <RudyValencia> what's that?
[07:05] <tiox> :/
[07:05] <tiox> It seems like it's a pre-defined background?
[07:05] <shaheenery> anyone ever had the problem of not being able to chmod a file?
[07:05] <deadroot> i have another problem. my shell script needs to set some environment variables. but after the script has executed, the variables are still not set. does anybody have any idea what is going on?
[07:05] <jjs3> tiox: yes
[07:05] <tiox> I try changing the color and the image backgrounds stick.
[07:06] <RudyValencia> I don't like modifying my system beyond that provided by Ubuntu
[07:06] <hatake_kakashi> its a whole bunch of wireless drivers from later (or earlier) kernel version for one to compile, install and use with their kernel
[07:06] <shaheenery> Sorry anyone ever had the problem of not being able to "sudo chmod" a file?
[07:06] <RudyValencia> Why isn't ndiswrapper working? It used to work before, on 10.04 too (which is what I use)
[07:06] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, unusual, not that I've had that issue
[07:07] <hatake_kakashi> RudyValencia, you might want to make sure b43 is fully unloaded and maybe its deps.. then blacklist b43
[07:07] <deadroot> shaheenery: does the file exist?
[07:07] <LWSDesigns> shaheenery sure its not a symbolic link
[07:07] <tiox> jjs3, this issue only happens to me when using Ambiance or Radiance.
[07:07] <RudyValencia> I tried removing b43 and ssb
[07:07] <shaheenery> I "sudo mounted" the drive in /mnt and not /media
[07:07] <shaheenery> not a regular user can't use it
[07:07] <icesword> what's the latest version of ubuntu?
[07:07] <RudyValencia> the WiFi card still won't use ndiswrapper
[07:07] <tiox> And what the hell were Canonical thinking letting this error slip?
[07:07] <shaheenery> I want to chmod so anyone can read / write
[07:07] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, its the mount options, you have to mount it giving permissions to user
[07:08] <tiox> Predefined backgrounds for applets are no good... sounds like a Gnome setting.
[07:08] <hatake_kakashi> RudyValencia, you tried.. and so b43 is not in lsmod neither is ssb?
[07:08] <shaheenery> i specified "rw" and "user" in fstab
[07:08] <jjs3> tiox: yea i would kinda be bumbed if i couldnt use a theme bc of this, and i try changing the windows color and the applet color changes with it
[07:08] <shaheenery> http://pastie.org/1220009
[07:08] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, try users
[07:08] <RudyValencia> ssb still loads despite being blacklisted
[07:08] <tiox> Anyone have an idea on where the settings for ambiance/radiance applet background is?
[07:09] <Broady> hey guys - looks like libmozjs-dev was removed in lucid - any idea how i can get spidermonkey now?
[07:09] <tiox> Happens on New Wave too.
[07:09] <hatake_kakashi> ssb is probably loaded because of b43 being loaded.. so b43 needs to be blacklisted not just ssb
[07:09] <tiox> But on any of the older Gnome themes, there's no problem.
[07:09] <RudyValencia> hatake_kakashi: both are blacklisted
[07:10] <tiox> Who the hell thought having pre-defined applet backgrounds was alright?!
[07:10] <hatake_kakashi> RudyValencia, and are they still loaded?
[07:10] <RudyValencia> b43, b43legacy, bcm43xx, and ssb are all blacklisted
[07:10] <deadroot> i have another problem. my shell script needs to set some environment variables. but after the script has executed, the variables are still not set. does anybody have any idea what is going on?
[07:10] <hatake_kakashi> maybe you didn't configure blacklist properly or its not in the right location
[07:11] <jjs3> tiox: its quite annoying right?
[07:11] <tiox> Hell yeah it is!
[07:11] <wars> hi
[07:11] <wars> i'm wars
[07:11] <jjs3> 1468 other people, no idea haha
[07:11] <tiox> I found this problem before, but I shrugged. Now I'm getting angry.
[07:11] <hatake_kakashi> deadroot, think you need to export those variables but check with #bash or whichever shell you are using
[07:12] <hatake_kakashi> I'm not on gnome and I'm not using the latest version so I can't assist
[07:12] <shaheenery> hatake_kakashi:  no users does the same thing
[07:12] <RudyValencia> hatake_kakashi: I put them in as I usually do
[07:13] <tiox> hatake_kakashi, use Raidance or Ambiance and change the background color.
[07:13] <RudyValencia> (the blacklist lines)
[07:13] <tiox> Oh...
[07:13] <deadroot> the script is supposed to export the variables. everything worked fine when running in my virtualbox fresh copy of ubuntu 9.04, but things are breaking in the old production server that's also using ubuntu 9.04
[07:13] <tiox> Oops, nvm.
[07:13] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, is the device mounted as ntfs? I think ntfs has issues even if you did specify mounting as users, you need to mount it under your id and group id specifying that in the mount
[07:13] <RudyValencia> blacklist b43, blacklist b43legacy, blacklist bcm43xx, blacklist ssb (each on separate lines, no commas
[07:14] <hatake_kakashi> hmm
[07:14] <tiox> I has an idea. Is there an area where the themes are stores?
[07:14] <hatake_kakashi> RudyValencia, weird, but does manually unloading of drivers work?
[07:14] <tiox> stored*
[07:14] <shaheenery> hatake: no, it's not NTFS
[07:14] <deadroot> would 'screen' have any effect on export?
[07:14] <hatake_kakashi> shaheenery, is it FAT32?
[07:14] <tiox> I am thinking it's a special entry in a theme file's text that invokes the background on applets.
[07:14] <RudyValencia> hatake_kakashi: lemme reboot and see what happens
[07:15] <RudyValencia> brb
[07:15] <hatake_kakashi> k
[07:15] <deadroot> no, screen isn't a reason. the same behaviour outside of screen
[07:15] <jjs3> tiox: yea gksu nautilus /usr/share/themes
[07:16] <deadroot> and i can set the variables manually
[07:16] <deadroot> but the script just can't seem to set the variables :(
[07:17] <shaheenery> hatake: yes W95 FAT32
[07:17] <RudyValencia> I'm back
[07:17] <shaheenery> is what sudo fdisk -l says
[07:17] <RudyValencia> still no WiFi
[07:18] <RudyValencia> lsmod lists ssb as loaded but not used
[07:18] <RudyValencia> it's still loading
[07:18] <tiox> Some odd reason, /usr/share/themes/ambiance/ambiance can't be opened.
[07:18] <Jordan_U> deadroot: An application can't change the environment variables of its parent process.
[07:18] <tiox> What type of file are these unopenable files?
[07:18] <Jordan_U> deadroot: What are you actually trying to do?
[07:19] <jjs3> tiox: could u be using the theme
[07:19] <Jordan_U> deadroot: And how?
[07:19] <deadroot> running a "setenvironment.sh" file that is supposed to set environment variables
[07:19] <deadroot> works fine on my virtualbox install
[07:19] <Jordan_U> deadroot: "run" it how?
[07:20] <deadroot> "-bash-3.2$ ./setenvironment.sh"
[07:20] <Jordan_U> deadroot: That can't possibly work.
[07:20] <deadroot> why not?
[07:20] <Jordan_U> deadroot: You need to source the script, not execute it as a separate process.
[07:20] <deadroot> hmm
[07:21] <Jordan_U> deadroot: An application cannot change the environment variables of its parent process.
[07:21] <deadroot> okay
[07:21] <Jordan_U> deadroot: "source ./setenvironment.sh"
[07:21] <deadroot> okay
[07:21] <deadroot> that is strange...
[07:21] <deadroot> brb
[07:21] <hatake_kakashi> RudyValencia, hmm weird, I suppose one could hack up a script to automatically remove ssb on reboots/bootup
[07:22] <bullgard4> Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense?
[07:22] <deadroot> okay, my script is indeed using 'source ./setenvironment.sh'
[07:22] <RudyValencia> I manually removed both ndiswrapper and ssb and then modprobe ndiswrapper
[07:22] <RudyValencia> and even that doesn't work
[07:22] <tiox> Not relevant, but here's a weird bit:
[07:22] <tiox> # Style to set the toolbar to use a flat style. This is because the "New" button in
[07:22] <tiox> # Evolution is not drawn transparent. So if there is a gradient in the background it will
[07:22] <tiox> # look really wrong.
[07:22] <tiox> # See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446953.
[07:22] <FloodBot1> tiox: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:23] <tiox> That's in the gtkrc file, BTW
[07:23] <deadroot> it shold have worked fine, but later on, the build script ran erroneously. the symptom is the same as the environment var not being set. i'll try again and see what happens this time. thanks Jordan_U
[07:23] <RudyValencia> I don't want to break my usual habit of using LTS releases but I'm tempted to try 10.10
[07:23] <deadroot> my current change will be to 'sudo screen'
[07:23] <hatake_kakashi> RudyValencia, that's what linux-backports are for
[07:23] <Wraithulek> I have broken NTFS Partition, i can't resize it with gParted. When I want to mount it's error: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (266245181): Invalid argument
[07:24] <RudyValencia> Is there a way to get a newer kernel?
[07:24] <hatake_kakashi> if not a newer kernel may fix the issue
[07:24] <jjs3> tiox: may i pm u
[07:24] <tiox> Rudy: There are some changes if you are using the default theme.
[07:24] <hatake_kakashi> no its not ideal but its possible
[07:24] <bullgard4> How often is popularity-contest called?
[07:24] <RudyValencia> newer than linux-image-2.6.32-25?
[07:25] <tiox> Active buttons and stufff will appear more orange. The scrollbar up/down buttons now have rounded ends to accommodate the rounded scrollbar And progress meters are less rounded.
[07:25] <hatake_kakashi> alot newer if you enabled 10.10 release but again its not ideal
[07:25] <RudyValencia> hm
[07:25] <RudyValencia> so I can't have a newer version than 2.6.32-25?
[07:25] <RudyValencia> :(
[07:25] <hatake_kakashi> I meant 10.10 release repo
[07:25] <jjs3> tiox: i have a work around for that color issue
[07:25] <deadroot> okay, i've started yet another build run
[07:25] <hatake_kakashi> no, you can submit a bug and hope/pray
[07:25] <tiox> What?
[07:25] <hatake_kakashi> well you've already done that :)
[07:26] <RudyValencia> I think I'll just go back to XP despite it being slow
[07:26] <tiox> jjs3: What have you found?
[07:26] <deadroot> as mentioned before i'm using putty to do the runs. and as it may take more than twenty four hours, i'm using screen to do it.
[07:26] <tiox> Awww Rudy, don't do that to us. :P
[07:26] <RudyValencia> I still use Ubuntu on my server though
[07:26] <RudyValencia> and that's not gonna change
[07:26] <lucent> win32 putty + screen = disaster
[07:26] <tiox> Good man.
[07:26] <lucent> never figured out why that was though
[07:26] <RudyValencia> and I can use it on my desktop alongside Win7
[07:26] <deadroot> my concern now is that whenever i use screen, then exit putty, then try to reattach via another putty window, it says that 'There is no screen to be resumed.''
[07:27] <jjs3> tiox, sudo apt-get install gcolor2 , take a sample of what color you want the panel to be, right click panel->properties-> background-> choose solid color _. and enter in your color code that gcolor gives you
[07:27] <DEMNVT> should the standard 'mail' command be available in Ubuntu from terminal?
[07:27] <lucent> deadroot: oh did you detach or hit [X] on the win32 window ?
[07:27] <deadroot> i hit the [x]
[07:27] <lucent> bad monkey zombie! baaad
[07:27] <lucent> you terminated screen by doing that
[07:27] <deadroot> ^_^;;;
[07:27] <deadroot> no, the screen is still running
[07:28] <jjs3> tiox: oh and turn the opaque all the way to the right
[07:28] <deadroot> but it says it is attached
[07:28] <lucent> well, it doesn't like [x] so use ctrl+a then ctrl+d
[07:28] <sresu> How can I use crosshurd package? !info crosshurd
[07:28] <jjs3> like i said its a work around and not a fix
[07:28] <sresu> !info crosshurd
[07:28] <tiox> Huh.
[07:28] <lucent> I think I'm eating some bad pasta sauce, my stomach is making weird noises and my screen is getting wavy
[07:28] <tiox> Well, it still shouldn't require that!
[07:28] <jjs3> tiox: I know, we should submit the bug
[07:28] <lucent> is there any way I can tell from the command line if my screen really is wavy, or if I should just go to the emergency room?
[07:29] <tiox> You do it.
[07:29] <jjs3> tiox: haha ok
[07:29] <maco> lucent: look somewhere other than the screen and see if that's wavy too
[07:29] <tiox> Doesn't effect me plenty because I like the default theme.
[07:29] <tiox> But link me, I'll back you up.
[07:29] <lucent> maco: can you type that in a non-wavy font? ;)
[07:29]  * lucent runs away from IRC
[07:29] <jjs3> tiox: how do i do that? (link you)
[07:30] <tiox> Submit the bug and link me to the page it's on.
[07:30] <deadroot1> sorry, got disconnected
[07:30] <tiox> Copy the URL and paste.
[07:30] <deadroot1> lucent: okay, i'll try that. thanks.
[07:30] <jjs3> ah
[07:30] <tiox> Yeaaaaah.
[07:30] <tiox> Tired?
[07:31] <txomon> hello, i found a ubuntu upgrade bug
[07:32] <deadroot> lucent: thanks. works like a charm. :)
[07:32] <OpenSourcedNick> I'm trying to merge directories and from what I've seen until now the tools are right down Pathetic. anyone has some advice ?
[07:32] <txomon> in the netbook version, when u try to upgrade, ther is a missing package
[07:32] <lucent> deadroot: some programs (like irssi) are smart enough to dettach themselves when asked to
[07:32] <deadroot> thanks for the tip
[07:32] <lucent> deadroot: that's called "screen-awareness" but you know, the other ten million programs out there have no clue and you must get into a ctrl-a-d habit
[07:33] <txomon> http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/netbook-meta/ubuntu-netbook_2.035_i386.deb  not found says
[07:33] <deadroot> okay will do
[07:34] <carlotolinero> i got bug on opening a compiz. about glXDestroyPixmap / GLX 1.3 is not supported.. any ideas??
[07:34] <lucent> deadroot: another pro tip for you, typing ~. in an ssh session will kill that ssh session
[07:34] <lucent> deadroot: useful if the program you're running remotely barfs, or the connection is disrupted
[07:34] <lucent> typing successive ~'s I think will go deeper into the rabbit hole
[07:34] <lucent> i.e. ~~. to kill 2-deep ssh session
[07:35] <RudyValencia> I think I'm going to reinstall on this machien
[07:35] <RudyValencia> *machine
[07:35] <RudyValencia> probably just get 10.10 and install it
[07:35] <max_> buenos dias alguien que hable  spanish ?
[07:36] <soreau> carlotolinero: That is not a bug, it's a harmless warning you can ignore
[07:36] <lucent> RudyValencia: be sure to burn a CD, the usb flash process is not quite working in my experience
[07:36] <RudyValencia> yeah
[07:36] <RudyValencia> I'm gonna download it via bittorrent
[07:36] <deadroot> lucent: thanks again. ^_^;;
[07:36] <RudyValencia> brb moving to another PC
[07:37] <qftf> hi
[07:37] <RudyValencia> :o
[07:37] <RudyValencia> my USB flash disk didn't show
[07:37] <jey> Is there a way to tell apt to always install -dev and -doc versions of packages?
[07:38] <carlotolinero> soreau: sorry thought this is counted as a bug. so everytime i open my laptop i must always type Compiz at the terminal? tnx
[07:38] <lucent> jey: not that I am aware of, never heard of it
[07:38] <lucent> jey: you could write a script that searches your installed package list for not-installed versions of the package that are -dev and -doc
[07:38] <jey> time to write a script then
[07:38] <maco> carlotolinero: it doesnt start automatically if you set it in software sources?
[07:38] <jey> lucent: will do, thanks
[07:39] <lucent> jey: alternately, you can use apt-get build-dep packagename to install the dependancy packages needed to build a particular program
[07:39] <lucent> think that might be what you want
[07:39] <lorph> I untarred some elf executable files, and now they won't run saying "No such file or directory" does anyone know what's wrong?
[07:39] <sulumar> Greetings
[07:40] <atude> How do I change my Apt preferences?
[07:40] <carlotolinero> maco i already install it there i just updated awahile ago and this happened
[07:40] <tiox> carlotolinero: Or you can make a new launcher with compiz as the command and have it as a startup application...
[07:40] <hatake_kakashi> lorph, you need to append ./ after giving it execute permissions
[07:40] <carlotolinero> tiox how can i do that. sorry newbie here
[07:41] <tiox> Well, what are you trying to do?
[07:41] <tiox> What do you speak of?
[07:41] <tiox> I'm a noob myself, but I know some things.
[07:41] <lorph> hatake_kakashi: I did
[07:41] <AegNuddel> lol...http://www.divshare.com/download/12834430-ce1
[07:41] <hatake_kakashi> lorph, I meant ./foo
[07:41] <lorph> hatake_kakashi: when I untarred it, it already had chmod +x permissions, so I did it again
[07:42] <Smail> how to reset your password GRUB???!!!
[07:42] <lorph> and I am running it with the ./ syntax
[07:42] <tiox> I see.
[07:42] <ubuntu>  nmmz
[07:42] <lucent> Smail: troll somewhere else.
[07:42] <lucent> thanks.
[07:42] <ubuntu> .j
[07:42] <carlotolinero> hehe iknow how to set things and appear in the startup. but why does it not runs automatiaclly after i updated today
[07:42] <tiox> Actually...
[07:42] <hatake_kakashi> lorph, go into the directory of the untarred bins and try that
[07:42] <tiox> I don't know.
[07:42] <ubuntu> mati
[07:42] <lorph> hatake_kakashi: already tried it, same problem
[07:42] <tiox> It still runs for me after the update.
[07:43] <tiox> Then again, different PC.
[07:43] <lorph> hatake_kakashi: I tried moving the file to another directory and renaming it, does untarring mess up executables
[07:43] <earthmeLon> I am having trouble with mime-types:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9969744
[07:43] <carlotolinero> yeah i guess so. using Hp mini though
[07:43] <tiox> But still, if you cannot resolve this issue so compiz loads without a nudge from a startup launcher, then... I don't know.
[07:44] <hatake_kakashi> lorph, weird, maybe I'd try compiling the source code and running the compiled one after compiling
[07:44] <omesh> hi
[07:44] <omesh> how to configure Samba
[07:44] <lucent> Oh, hi mark.  I DID NOT.  I DID NOT HIT HER.
[07:45] <hatake_kakashi> !samba | omesh
[07:45] <greene> !
do not understand!
[07:45] <txomon> so anyone does know any solution to the problem i encountered¿?
[07:45] <txomon> in the netbook version, when u try to upgrade, ther is a missing package
[07:45] <bullgard4> Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense?
[07:46] <txomon> http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/netbook-meta/ubuntu-netbook_2.035_i386.deb not found says
[07:46] <maco> txomon: run "sudo apt-get update" first
[07:46] <user_618> !inetd
[07:46] <hatake_kakashi> txomon, probably try doing update before upgrade
[07:46] <lucent> txomon: it's either (A) your local mirror is missing the file  (B) dependency problem
[07:46] <maco> txomon: a new version has probably been released, replacing the old one it's looking for
[07:47] <coercive> !inet
[07:47] <lucent> change mirrors, and apt-get update
[07:47] <soroush> hi again, how i can compile cpp file in ubuntu?
[07:47] <hatake_kakashi> !compile | soroush
what is Troll??
[07:47] <soroush> no
[07:48] <hatake_kakashi> !troll| Smail
[07:48] <soroush> i have simple cpp file
[07:48] <coercive> !silc
[07:48] <soroush> and i wanna run it in linux
[07:48] <lucent> soroush: that's off-topic for the channel, but if you'd like I'll talk about it in privmsg
[07:48] <Jordan_U> soroush: g++ foo.cpp
[07:49] <soroush> where i can found g++?
[07:49] <G1BS0N> !troll | Smail
[07:49] <glithcd> So I decided to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 today but then this happened. http://pastebin.com/LprKySMf   Please help!!
[07:49] <deadroot> hmm... does anybody know if gcc 4.1.3 will be backported to ubuntu 10.10?
[07:49] <lucent> glithcd: ouch
[07:50] <Jordan_U> soroush: sudo apt-get install g++
[07:50] <glithcd> lucent, is that really bad?
[07:50] <lucent> no
[07:50] <soroush> ok
[07:50] <lucent> it's just hurting my brain to think about why it's happening
[07:50] <G1BS0N> lol
[07:50] <lucent> so yeah it's really bad and painful for me to look at X(
[07:50] <glithcd> lucent, do you think it's fixable?
[07:51] <lucent> uh... well I can fix anything with an explosive target and a .22
[07:51] <G1BS0N> lucent: is there a story with x
[07:51] <Jordan_U> glithcd: How did you try to upgrade?
[07:51] <lucent> maybe you want it to be working after it's "fixed" though and that's gotta take a minute to ponder about it
[07:51] <glithcd> Jordan_U, I did it with update manager
[07:52] <lucent> also, why are you running a PAE kernel?
[07:52] <glithcd> lucent, to see my 8 gigs of ram without using 64 bit
[07:52] <tensorpudding> deadroot: backported? that's an old version of gcc isn't it?
[07:52] <Jordan_U> glithcd: Did you get any error message from update-manager?
[07:52] <glithcd> Jordan_U, Yes a few
[07:52] <lucent> glithcd: oh okay, makes sense
[07:52] <sulumar> greetings
[07:52] <glithcd> Jordan_U, is there a log for update manager?
[07:53] <deadroot> maybe my use of the word is wrong. but will gcc 4.1 be supported? i know it is pretty old, but the program i'm building depends on 4.1's behaviour
[07:53] <lucent> "why is grub-probe reporting back badly?" is my question
[07:53] <tensorpudding> deadroot: the version in 10.10 is 4.4
[07:53] <lucent> deadroot: you can install older versions, I think
[07:53] <deadroot> i'm aware of that, but the program will not successfully build on 4.4
[07:53] <deadroot> so i have to compile 4.1 from source?
[07:53] <lucent> no, I mean you can apt-get install gcc-4.1
[07:54] <lucent> the executable will be named gcc-4.1
[07:54] <glithcd> lucent, well it wanted me to upgrade grub so I did but I told it to keep my local files instead of upgrading to the maintainer version
[07:54] <lucent> how you make that work I leave as an exercise for you :)
[07:54] <tensorpudding> deadroot: it should be possible to have multiple back versions of gcc
[07:54] <deadroot> it's not listed. first thing i tried when testing 10.10
[07:54] <tensorpudding> deadroot: i think there is a 4.1 package
[07:54] <Jordan_U> glithcd: multiple logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade/
[07:54] <lucent> glithcd: err... why didn't you use maintainer version?
[07:54] <tensorpudding> deadroot: and it would be located as gcc-4.1, so you'd need to modify CC and CXX in your build scripts
[07:55] <deadroot> maybe it was recently changed then. i tried uncommenting everything in the apt/sources.list and nothing
[07:55] <glithcd> lucent, I wanted to keep my grub the way I edited it
[07:55] <hDy> is there a place that I can have applications startup after the initial desktop loads? I know I could put it in the startup application list but it loads to soon there
[07:55] <lucent> deadroot: use the software sources manager, if you can
[07:55] <Guest27975> Ahhhh, having extreme problems in 10.10. ZynaddsubFX no longer works! I can't get a single sound out of it and it's slow as heck! xD
[07:55] <lucent> Guest27975: is jackd set up correctly?
[07:55] <deadroot> no, CC and CXX was not sufficient. i had to relink gcc and g++ to 4.1 for the build to succeed. i would otherwise get buffer overflow errors when running the resulting server application
[07:56] <txomon> lucent | maco | hatake_kakashi look this http://imagebin.org/118432
[07:56] <Guest27975> lucent: in Lucid, I didn't need JACK - I just used Zyn by itself, not with anything else or any sound running in the background
[07:56] <deadroot> because somehow, it used both 4.1 and 4.3 (probably for some of the different dependent packages within the source)
[07:56] <tensorpudding> deadroot: pretty sure that the alternatives system handles that
[07:56] <deadroot> okay, i'll look into that later
[07:56] <lucent> Guest27975: okay, here's a hint, use jackd
[07:56] <andai> Hi! My iPod says "No Songs" when i turn it on
[07:56] <tensorpudding> deadroot: software that depends on a specific version of a specific compiler is not maintainable
[07:56] <Jordan_U> deadroot: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo sh -ex /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig" ?
[07:57] <deadroot> Jordan_U: do you really mean me?
[07:57] <andai> tho all the files are on it, every player except iTunes can read it fine, and Banshee spent about an hour "rebuilding the database" (..so where is it?)
[07:57] <Jordan_U> deadroot: No, sorry.
[07:57] <txomon> lucent: did u see the link?
[07:57] <deadroot> ok
[07:57] <txomon> maco:  did u see the link? http://imagebin.org/118432
[07:57] <Jordan_U> glithcd: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo sh -ex /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig" ?
[07:58] <lucent> txomon: ah, yes.  I think your mirror is bad, I told you, try to use a different mirror and to apt-get update before the upgrade
[07:58] <brunot> hi here
[07:58] <txomon> lucent: tell me another mirror, cos thats the mirror I have...
[07:58] <carlotolinero> how to edit your dual boot? seems that 3 kernels and 3 recovery showing up
[07:58] <glithcd> Jordan_U, sure
[07:58] <deadroot> tensorpudding: yes. it is quite a pain, but i'm not up to the task of fixing 100MB of *.tar.gz worth of code
[07:58] <Guest27975> lucent: but I don't want to lol - if it worked with Jack in Lucid, why would it stop? I mean, do I have to use jack? i didn't before :O
[07:59] <UpdatingAvailabl> Hello
[07:59] <brunot> anyone having sound issues with 10.10 ?
[07:59] <Guest27975> lucent: * worked WITHOUT my bad xD
[07:59] <lucent> Guest27975: 'lol'.
[07:59] <UpdatingAvailabl> Could please someone help me? I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 using the alternate CD. The installation hangs on "Updating the list of available packages...
[07:59] <lucent> good luck trying to make that work in anything other than jack. 'lol'.
[08:00] <tensorpudding> deadroot: if it really requires that you use a specific version of gcc in one spot, and a specific version of gcc in another, you're likely to have trouble
[08:00] <Guest27975> lucent: So, in 10.10, I have to use Jack, is what you're saying.
[08:00] <carlotolinero> i have issues on 10.10 unity
[08:00] <tensorpudding> you could try compiling the different parts with different gcc versions, but i have no idea if you'll be able to link them
[08:00] <G1BS0N> lol
[08:00] <sebsebseb> !details | brunot
[08:00] <carlotolinero> about compiz.. cant start automatically
[08:00] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: right yeah
[08:01] <lucent> Guest27975: the only other non-jack toolkit that has active development is PortAudio in conjunction with Mixxx, and even that is falling to pieces.  Use JACK, is what I'm suggesting.
[08:01] <deadroot> tensorpudding: no. it needs to use 4.1 all the way through. i believe it was some third-party package within the code base that somehow ignored CC and CXX
[08:01] <carlotolinero> i always type Compiz on the terminal :)
[08:01] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: Compiz does not work with Unity
[08:01] <glithcd> Jordan_U, Here you are: http://pastebin.com/mBJ6DLMn
[08:01] <tensorpudding> deadroot: okay
[08:01] <Guest27975> Lucent: ah, okay. and that will solve the speed issue, as well? because its beyond laggy - didn't seem to do that before
[08:01] <deadroot> i had to relink g++ and gcc to fix that, instead of depending on CC and CXX
[08:01] <bugSSS> with the help of a team, you can view all open ports on your PC???
[08:01] <tensorpudding> deadroot: it's possible that the part that is broken by 4.3 is something which could be easily changed, like some sort of deprecated code
[08:01] <lorph> hatake_kakashi: agh I found out, I didn't have lib32z1 installed to run x86 programs :(
[08:02] <brunot> details: audio was working perfect on 10.04. After the upgrade to 10.10: sound does not play on internal speakers, I can only hear throught headset with bad quality. And also can hear through HDMI
[08:02] <lucent> Guest27975: I understand your concern, and JACK is not always the easiest thing to set up, but please go learn it and be happier for it with all your serious audio needs :)
[08:02] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: its not compatible with mutter
[08:02] <brunot> I was and am still using pulseaudio + alsa
[08:02] <bugSSS> with the help of a team, you can view all open ports on your PC???
[08:03] <carlotolinero> but can i still run it? what do you suggest?
[08:03] <lucent> brunot: mixer interfaces may have changed between ALSA versions included in the new kernel for 10.10 release... so, I think that's annoying but you have to play with the mixer settings
[08:03] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: no not with Unity
[08:03] <Jordan_U> glithcd: "sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme.save"
[08:03] <Guest27975> lucent: Listen, I know Jack, it's great and I all, I just hate using it. I came on because Zyn worked *without Jack before, and that was my inquiry. Why would it suddenly need Jack in 10.10 whereas in 10.04 it didn't? That's the question I'm getting at. (And I don't mean to sound blunt. xD)
[08:03] <Wraithulek> when i want add chmod
[08:03] <Wraithulek> it error
[08:03] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: with the normal desktop version or  KDE  or LXDE or XFCE, and so on, sure
[08:03] <Wraithulek> bash: /media/Wszystko/DiabloInstall/D2-1.12A-enUS/Installer.exe: Permission denied
[08:03] <brunot> lucent: I played with everything avail in the mixer...
[08:04] <deadroot> tensorpudding: perhaps, but i lack the knowledge and experience to identify if it is such a case
[08:04] <lucent> brunot: oh, 'advanced' things in alsamixer, even?
[08:04] <lucent> or gnome-alsamixer
[08:04] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: ok so your on a net book?
[08:04] <brunot> lucent: what do you mean by "advanced" ?
[08:04] <deadroot> about two months ago, i had not really experienced working with any *nix
[08:04] <carlotolinero> sebsebseb: yes
[08:04] <glithcd> Jordan_U, chmod: cannot access `/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme.sav': No such file or directory glithcd@glithcd-laptop:~$
[08:05] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: you may want to try out Lubuntu/LXDE its nice, and more lite waight than Xubuntu/XFCE  also you can run compiz in it
[08:05] <lucent> brunot: there are simple mixer controls, but then there are also advanced mixer controls.  I think 'gnome-alsamixer' program shows you advanced mixer controls if you'd like
[08:05] <Jordan_U> glithcd: You forgot the 'e' at the end.
[08:05] <sebsebseb> !lubuntu | carlotolinero
[08:05] <glithcd> Jordan_U, ok the command went through
[08:05] <glithcd> Jordan_U, Should that be it?
[08:05] <lucent> brunot: 'gnome-alsamixer' Edit | Sound Card Properties   and check everything?
[08:05] <Jordan_U> glithcd: Yes, now try "sudo apt-get -f install".
[08:06] <brunot> lucent: yes I did all that
[08:06] <txomon> lucent:  how can i report that my mirror is bad¿?
[08:06] <bullgard4> Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense?
[08:06] <carlotolinero> sebsebseb: can i save space in that? coz im on my laptop mini :)
[08:06] <lucent> txomon: I don't think that is reportable problem, it's bad... so like it is raining outside, well, maybe it won't be raining later :)
[08:06] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: sure it won't take up that much space,  and you get good basic apps
[08:07] <brunot> lucent: not sure it might help, but I tried to boot from the 10.04 live CD (64 bits): audio works fine. I looked all the alsamixer settings
[08:07] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: by default with it
[08:07] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Why do you think it's nonsense?
[08:07] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: however if you  then want stuff that didn't come with it, can still install that or most of it
[08:07] <txomon> lucent: ok... ah! I can update from central server!
[08:07] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: I mean you run Gnome and KDE apps for example inside Lubuntu/LXDE
[08:07] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: can run
[08:07] <lucent> txomon: "main" Canonical server should always be correct
[08:07] <brunot> lucent: then booted on 10.10 live CD (32 & 64 bits), and also cheched the alsamixer settings: they were the same, and no audio
[08:07] <cnwesleywang> does anynody know how to install ubuntu 10.04 server on IBM x3850m2?
[08:08] <zulfi> need some hrlp
[08:08] <lucent> brunot: I don't know if the mixer interface changed, or if there is now a regression for your device
[08:08] <glithcd> Jordan_U, Thanks, it seems to be installing linux-image2.6.35 just fine now.
[08:08] <sebsebseb> !ask | zulfi
[08:08] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: Because the compute does not need to. It already has a sapshot. Otherwise the computer cold not resum-from-disk.
[08:08] <lucent> brunot: I'm very simple what I know about Linux Kernel, not much for programming
[08:08] <carlotolinero> sebsebseb: ok thats why im having problems with unity. hehe i ddnt know that compiz theres is not compatible
[08:08] <zulfi> ok
[08:08] <bullgard4> s/compute/computer/
[08:08] <carlotolinero> sebsebseb:thanks pal
[08:08] <Jordan_U> glithcd: You're welcome.
[08:08] <lucent> brunot: it would be helpful if I could guide you to dump the ALSA driver registers for inspection, but I do not know how
[08:08] <glithcd> Jordan_U, A reboot should be all I need now.
[08:09] <cnwesleywang> I count not install neither 32bit version nor 64bit version.
[08:09] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: Compiz isn't compatible with Gnome Shell either, which is nice,  currently has a development version, but Ubuntu should be using that by default with the rest of Gnome  3 next year :)
[08:09] <brunot> lucent: thanks a lot for your help ! Do you know if there is someone knowing more about audio and interested in finding/fixing bugs ?
[08:09] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: both Unity and Gnome Shell use mutter
[08:09] <cnwesleywang> and I do not want change to RHEL or centos, I want keep both my dev and deploy environment  on same os: ubuntu.
[08:10] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Part of the "s2disk snapshotting *system*" is the code to resume from disk. At least that would make sense to me.
[08:10] <atude> How do I change my Apt preferences?
[08:10] <cnwesleywang> anybody helps me.
[08:10] <sebsebseb> cnwesleywang: anyway ok your welcome :)
[08:10] <sebsebseb> carlotolinero: ^
[08:10] <brunot> lucent: I think I saw many different groups ont irc for different topics, but none regarding sound/audio
[08:10] <lucent> brunot: there is an ALSA user's mailing list, but no forum or IRC will help you with this
[08:10] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: NVM, it's late and I failed at reading comprehention.
[08:11] <lucent> brunot: sound device programmers are not likely to hang out on IRC answering questions, that is what I see
[08:11] <cnwesleywang> I installed ubuntu 10.04 server version on 3850M2 it stopped after choose language.
[08:11] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: Right. Thank you.
[08:11] <lucent> brunot: it is a good thing that you are able to boot 10.04 livecd and your sound is working, that will be useful in your process to find out which registers are set that make it work for you
[08:11] <brunot> lucent: ok, would you mind giving me a link to get the mailing list address & rules to use it, if you know it ?
[08:11] <xfrog> how do I set my notifications to reflect new mail. I always have to manually click the taskbar where the mail icon is to see if I have any new mail. I was under the impression that it would be automatic
[08:11] <cnwesleywang> and for ubuntu 10.04 server amd64 version it says that can not found any hard disk.
[08:12] <lucent> brunot: links would be at alsa-project.org website, so I will look there too
[08:12] <brunot> lucent: looking right now
[08:12] <cnwesleywang> I prefer install 32bit version for that's our dev environment.
[08:13] <lucent> brunot: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
[08:13] <brunot> lucent: there seem to be a lot if things on this, including details to debug, etc... So I will try 1st, before annoying anybody
[08:13] <zulfi> am trying to install splinter cell conviction, and its saying i need to install DirectX for the game to run, but i have wine to work with it, and every time i try to install the DirectX its says...An internal system error occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your windows folder to determine problem, and am like  saying to my self i dont use bumb windows, so anyone in this room can see what am talking about?
[08:14] <zhengshi> What program can record time spent on using each program in system?
[08:14] <lucent> brunot: I am sure that the important fact is that you can make it work with (Ubuntu 10.04 livecd) and that it is not working with (Ubuntu 10.10 livecd), because now you can reproduce the issue easily
[08:15] <cnwesleywang> no one have installed ubuntu server on IBM x3850 ever?
[08:15] <zulfi> how is there a way to install Directx
[08:15] <brunot> yep. I would suppose it is a low level issue
[08:15] <lucent> zulfi: there is not.
[08:15] <zulfi> oh i see
[08:15] <lucent> zulfi: ##windows ?
[08:15] <andycc> zulfi, I don't think DirectX works on Linux.
[08:15] <lucent> zulfi: are you a programmer writing a game
[08:16] <Jordan_U> !appdb | zulfi
[08:16] <zulfi> not really just a kid trying to play one of my good game on ubuntu 10.10
[08:16] <atude> I must have a really rare problem or this community has no idea how ubuntu works...
[08:16] <zulfi> but it seems like it wont play with out the Direstx crap!
[08:17] <Junkbot> gah
[08:17] <deadroot> bye guys. thanks for teaching me ^_^
[08:17] <Junkbot> has anybody had success installing Unity/UNE (Maverick) on the dell mini 10 (intel gma500)
[08:18] <brunot> atude: or they don't answer obvious questions for which you can find the answer by clicking the 1st link google gives you if you type it there
[08:19] <atude> brunot: I thought about that, but apparently that's not the way to go..
[08:20] <brunot> atude: maybe 2nd link then ? ;)
[08:20] <brunot> atude: jk :)
[08:20] <Jordan_U> atude: What "Apt preferences" are you trying to change?
[08:20] <atude> brunot: no... I guess you didn't see any of my questions, so it'd make sense for you to not know what i'm talking about
[08:21] <atude> brunot: google is unable to help fix 10.10 update issues
[08:21] <atude> brunot: think there's probably a bug somewhere, and should probably report it
[08:21] <brunot> atude: just saw 1: "how to change the apt preferences".
[08:21] <zulfi> it sucks that they don't make windows games compatible for ubuntu 100$. what quishtions me why wont they make it like that?
[08:21] <zulfi> i meant 100%
[08:22] <atude> brunot: I'm stuck in a dependency loop due to update manager aborting its release update for some stupid reason, the result when trying to fix my system, pastebin.com/27A5MEKf <-- how do I fix this?
[08:22] <Jordan_U> !ot | zulfi
[08:22] <sebsebseb>  
[08:22] <cnwesleywang> how to install ubuntu on IBM x3850?
[08:22] <brunot> atude: lol, yeah now I understand why you're here :)
[08:22] <atude> brunot: going though with many things, I've determined that changing my configs could help, or break everything
[08:22] <Jordan_U> atude: Next time add "http://" to your links, it makes then easier to go to for us lazy voluteers :)
[08:22] <Jordan_U> atude: Is that the complete output? Does apt freeze there or exit?
[08:23] <brunot> zulfi: you can try an app named "crossover"
[08:23] <atude> Jordan_U: exits
[08:24] <Jordan_U> atude: What command did you run that gave that output?
[08:24] <atude> Jordan_U: just about anything apt-get  will give me that output
[08:25] <lucent> atude: fastest resolution may be a backup, then clean re-install and restore your data
[08:25] <lucent> atude: just suggesting maybe that would save you time.
[08:25] <atude> Jordan_U: specifically though, -f -s --reinstall dist-upgrade
[08:25] <atude> lucent: I'd rather learn to fix the issue rather than not learn to fix the issue
[08:25] <plum> hey guys
[08:25] <plum> hi guys
[08:25] <mattcodes> I have tweetdeck in the err. systray.. (top right), what the keyboard shortcut to bring to screen as it doesnt show in alt+tab like minimized programs?
[08:26] <Jordan_U> atude: What about "sudo dpkg --configure -a"?
[08:26] <plum> i'm looking at grep swap /etc/fstab
[08:26] <Sandking> i wanted to test some lighter desktop environment - what would be better choice - xfce or fluxbox?
[08:26] <atude> Jordan_U: just errors out
[08:26] <atude> Jordan_U: too many errors
[08:26] <lucent> atude: yeah, I agree, but it sounds like you have hit a landmine
[08:26] <Jordan_U> atude: Could you pastebin those errors?
[08:26] <plum> how do i tell if my swap is in use, or if i should remove it?
[08:26] <atude> Jordan_U: sec
[08:26] <plum> # swap was on /dev/sdb6 during installation
[08:26] <plum> UUID=ccd0fd9f-62b9-457a-8558-8a2255f4937b  none         swap  sw                 0  0
[08:26] <plum> # swap was on /dev/sdb7 during installation
[08:26] <plum> UUID=15be132a-7da5-4459-8693-845323963dc9  none         swap  sw                 0  0
[08:26] <FloodBot1> plum: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:26] <plum> ahh ok, sorry
[08:27] <plum> http://paste.ubuntu.com/512949/
[08:27] <Noctis_Lux> Hi.
[08:27] <lucent> mattcodes: don't know, think that's not possivle
[08:28] <lucent> typo... argh
[08:28] <plum> ^ looking at that, is it safe to remove my swap partitions since they were used only (to my knowledge) in installation?
[08:28] <mattcodes> damn, was hoping to do a day without the mouse
[08:28] <mattcodes> found it ctrl+alt+tab
[08:29] <ortsvorsteher> plum, swap is used all time while your os is running. i wouldnt remove swap.
[08:29] <lucent> mattcodes: oh, does that work for your app? I thought it selected the top level objects (panels, etc.) only?
[08:30] <mattcodes> it works for tweetdeck
[08:30] <mattcodes> other stuff like dropbox
[08:30] <mattcodes> cant see
[08:30] <plum> ortsvorsteher: but i have two swap partitions (one from an install that didn't work, i believe)
[08:30] <plum> i'm trying to figure out if i should remove one or both, if one or both is not being used
[08:30] <plum> that log doesn't show if it's being used...? i don't know how to interpret them
[08:31] <brunot> gonna read the alsa site, ttyl
[08:31] <ortsvorsteher> plum, just try out which swap partition isnt used, remove this one.
[08:31] <brunot> lucent: thanks for your help & support !
[08:31] <plum> ortsvorsteher: i don't know which one is used & which one isn't,, i tried swapon -s and couldn't understand it
[08:31] <earthmeLon> Is anybody here familiar with mime-types and troubleshooting why file is unable to determine mime-type of items in the magic db?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9969789
[08:32] <plum> They both say under 'Used': 0
[08:32] <plum> http://paste.ubuntu.com/512951/
[08:32] <chu_> Sandking: Are you using a laptop?
[08:33] <Sandking> chu_: yes, netbook to be precise
[08:33] <atude> Jordan_U: I"m having problem logging that since it's just writing to the tty
[08:33] <macsim> hi, my laptop doesn't boot on kernel 2.6.35-22 but it works on 2.6.32-25 is it a know issue ?
[08:33] <Sandking> chu_: i remember i tried some distro which was really minimalistic but can't remember how it was called
[08:34] <ortsvorsteher> plum, /dev/sdb6 is your first swap device, /dev/sdb7 is with prior 2 a second swap device
[08:34] <Sandking> quite news, designed with netbooks in mind
[08:34] <sako> hey guys what are the repositories with the newer packages?
[08:34] <chu_> Sandking: Do you mind using the terminal?
[08:34] <ortsvorsteher> plum, may you try to read "man swapoff" and turn off swap on /dev/sdb7
[08:35] <plum> ortsvorsteher: are either of them not in use then...? cause if it says under 'Used' 0, i interpret that as "not being used"...
[08:35] <Sandking> chu_: wel, i use it from time to time to do simple stuff, but i'd like to have gui desktop
[08:35] <Jordan_U> atude: sudo dpgk --configure -a > /tmp/dpkg_configure_log 2>&1
[08:35] <plum> ortsvorsteher: i can turn swap off from gui in gparted though, right?
[08:35] <atude> Jordan_U: ah, there we go
[08:36] <Sandking> chu_: why did you ask?
[08:36] <ortsvorsteher> plum, if i make swapon -s on my machine, it shows me also the 0 on my swap device. it doesnt seems to to show that swap is not used.
[08:36] <Soraya> hi guya
[08:36] <plum> ah, okay. how much space is your swap partition, ortsvorsteher ? is it around 700mb?
[08:36] <ortsvorsteher> plum, i never tried to turn off swap in gparted. i take a look at man page
[08:36] <plum> hmmmm, okay
[08:36] <chu_> Sandking: Well, it just depends. For instance, connecting to wireless isn't as automatic in fluxbox as it is in say gnome, or even xfce, just requires a bit of fiddling.
[08:36] <Soraya> my flash drive wont open on windows
[08:37] <ortsvorsteher> plum, my swap partition is 11GB.
[08:37] <Soraya> do i need to write a autorun.text file
[08:37] <plum> oh wow
[08:37] <plum> i see
[08:37] <Soraya> i formated using ubuntu
[08:37] <chu_> Sandking: If you don't mind getting dirty (so to speak), I strongly recommend fluxbox, but I don't know to what extent you are prepared to play around.
[08:37] <plum> so why would i have two swap partitions if yours has one? i think that would be unnecessary
[08:38] <andai> what management tool / music player can i use to rebuild my iPod's database?
[08:38] <atude> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/CHB5H6ac
[08:38] <Soraya> and now i cant seet dispay on my computer on windows and i use to move files around
[08:38] <Sandking> chu_: thx, i'll try it then
[08:38] <andai> banshee did it, and found everything, but it didn't really make it so that my iPod knows there's stuff on it
[08:38] <tgywa> HI
[08:38] <ortsvorsteher> plum, yes, one swap partition would be enough. how much memory your system has?
[08:39] <plum> my system has 4gb
[08:39] <tgywa> what is the short cut to use a previosly used command ... instead of typing agian ... on Ubuntu?
[08:39] <chu_> tgywa: !! I think
[08:39] <Gnea> tgywa, up-arrow, or history
[08:39] <ortsvorsteher> plum, i would take minimum 4GB of swap space than, normally you take 1,5 times memory.
[08:40] <caemir> Saluton ⚘
[08:40] <bullgard4> Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense?
[08:40] <tgywa> Gnea, I always use history command and up arrow ... but for eg ... when u use history, you may need copy the command to use it ...
[08:40] <plum> ortsvorsteher: i'm lacking that space at the moment... should i just delete one of the swaps and grow the other one with the space i gain from the deleted swap partition?
[08:41] <Gnea> tgywa: look for the number, then do !number.
[08:41] <Jordan_U> atude: Could you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy libc6" and "apt-cache policy libc6-amd64" ?
[08:41] <atude> Jordan_U: please hold
[08:42] <sako> hey guys what are the repositories with the newer packages?
[08:42] <ortsvorsteher> plum, may you read at first !swap and follow the link ubottu gives you.
[08:42] <ortsvorsteher> !swap | plum
[08:42] <plum> !swap
[08:42] <kthakore> I can seem to change my wifi mode from anything but Managed or Ad-Hoc

[08:44] <Gnea> tgywa: cheers
[08:44] <Gnea> kthakore: can you connect via wired at all?
[08:52] <bullgard4> sako: There is something like "tsting". But you better grab a package form a Maverick repository.

[08:53] <kthakore> Gnea: Wired sure.

[08:53] <Phylock> zhengshi: why would you have that ??
[08:53] <tensorpudding> zhengshi: something like miro?

[08:53] <tas> Hi everyone, can anyone tell me how I can edit permissions for a Partition? so I don't have to move an .exe file to my desktop to change its permission to be executable?

[08:53] <zhengshi> I will try it
[08:53] <zhengshi> Thanks:_
[08:53] <Jordan_U> atude: Part of the problem may be that you have the maverick proposed repository enabled, but since you've already started installing packages from -proposed removing it now probably won't help much (you need proposed packages now to resolve dependancies).
[08:53] <atude> Jordan_U: how should I go about doing that?
[08:53] <tas> Hi everyone, can anyone tell me how I can edit permissions for a Partition? so I don't have to move an .exe file to my desktop to change its permission to be executable?

[08:58] <Coolslai> yeah but i dont see a place where it says iso DL
[08:58] <Coolslai> ive never used ubuntu btw
[08:58] <Gnea> ah
[08:58] <Coolslai> i have no idea wat im doin
[08:58] <Gnea> just go to download it
[08:58] <Gnea> it's always an iso
[08:58] <Gnea> :)
[08:58] <Coolslai> i got a win RAR
[08:58] <bazhang> also try #vbox
[08:58] <Gnea> that won't do
[08:59] <Coolslai> well it DLed as a RAR file
[08:59] <Gnea> Coolslai: the .iso is a cd image, just download it and plug it into vbox. there should be documentation for vbox to make it happen.
[08:59] <Gnea> Coolslai: well then it did something wrong
[08:59] <Coolslai> instructions?
[08:59] <Coolslai> Teamviewer?
[08:59] <Gnea> what?
[08:59] <_ruben> winrar tends to recognize .iso files as archives
[09:00] <Gnea> !vbox
[09:00] <Coolslai> well what should i do to fix it?
[09:00] <Gnea> are you sure it's broken?
[09:01] <Coolslai> im sure
[09:01] <Coolslai> its DLed as a RAR file
[09:01] <Coolslai> if u want i can have u TV me
[09:01] <Coolslai> if u know what that is
[09:01] <Coolslai> teamviewer.com
[09:01] <Gnea> I know what it is, and I'd prefer not to.
[09:01] <Coolslai> oh okay... ugh... i need this done... >.<
[09:01] <Gnea> it shouldn't save as a .rar it should save as a .iso
[09:01] <Gnea> so, 'save as' not 'open with', obviously
[09:02] <Coolslai> i saved it
[09:02] <Gnea> Coolslai: be calm, patient and take the time, and it will get done. we're not getting paid here, so you'll need the patience.
[09:02] <Coolslai> idk why its RAR though
[09:03] <Gnea> okay, try to rename it to a .iso file
[09:03] <Coolslai> kk
[09:03] <locky_keaney> hey can some one give me a hand, im very desperate and a massive noob. just installed ubuntu to run xbmc on my htpc after windows stuffed up and i got some problems and questions. such as that all my data is on NTFS formatted drives and i need them to access xbmc so all my shows and movies are there, and to allow sharing on them so the whole house can stream and add remove things
[09:03] <Coolslai> still looks like a rar file
[09:03] <locky_keaney> make sense?
[09:03] <Gnea> and if you haven't already, /join #vbox
[09:04] <Coolslai> i have
[09:04] <Gnea> Coolslai: that makes no sense at all, it should just be an .iso file
[09:04] <Coolslai> idk... it downloadded into a WinRAR file
[09:04] <Inferus> morning
[09:04] <lhavelund> Gnea: try running him through running file on it to determine the mimetype.
[09:05] <Gnea> lhavelund: he's in windows.
[09:05] <lhavelund> Oh, right.
[09:05] <lhavelund> Nevermind.
[09:05] <vega-> he probably has some half-a.. download manager that interferes or whatever
[09:05] <Coolslai> no i dont
[09:05] <Gnea> Coolslai: well, did you get vbox installed?
[09:05] <Coolslai> yea
[09:05] <Gnea> so run it
[09:05] <Coolslai> now what?
[09:06] <Gnea> what do you need this for anyhow?
[09:06] <locky_keaney> can anyone help?
[09:06] <kai696> Yes, usually someone can help
[09:07] <Coolslai> im going to wipe this hard drive and save the stuff i need, and im debating on downloading a modded version of win7 (Win8) or chosing ubuntu... i h ave heard ubuntu is better than windows...
[09:07] <KM0201> man, whats w/ the netsplits
[09:07] <Gnea> Coolslai: please repeat?
[09:07] <Coolslai> im going to wipe this hard drive and save the stuff i need, and im debating on downloading a modded version of win7 (Win8) or chosing ubuntu... i h ave heard ubuntu is better than windows...
[09:08] <kai696> Coolslai, depends what you are using your computer for
[09:08] <KM0201> Coolslai, well, it depends on what you do...
[09:08] <Gnea> Coolslai: well, the right tool for the right job, can't go wrong there
[09:08] <Coolslai> i use it for a shit load of things
[09:08] <bazhang> Coolslai, language
[09:08] <kai696> don't expect to insert the latest disk of Grand Theft Auto and expect everything to run ssmoothly
[09:08] <Gnea> Coolslai: we also don't swear in here
[09:08] <Coolslai> srry
[09:08] <kai696> Coolslai, i wouldn't recommend it, especially if it's your fist linux distro
[09:09] <kai696> Have it to play around with before you totally switch over
[09:09] <Gnea> Coolslai: well, you'll need to ask #vbox about setting up a new session and getting that part running
[09:09] <Coolslai> well i use it for gaming, coding, internet, school, and media...
[09:09] <Coolslai> pretty much everything
[09:09] <Gnea> Coolslai: okay, then ubuntu should work just fine, with some modifications and adjustments here and there
[09:09] <kai696> anyways, I'm trying to install grub from a live-disk that no longer has ubuntu partitioned on it, I don't know how to repair the MBR from a windows side of things, but i'm having trouble installing the actual grub itself to my box. (mounted Sda1 already)
[09:10] <Coolslai> alright, but do you know how i can cetup this iso file thing?
[09:10] <Coolslai> its so cofuzzling
[09:10] <kai696> Coolslai, "gaming" on ubuntu has gotten better but it'
[09:10] <KM0201> Coolslai, gaming might be your only issue... I would start w/ a dual boot setup,  rather than immediately nuking Windows
[09:10] <Gnea> Coolslai: first of all, you need to get vbox running, which is what #vbox is for
[09:10] <kai696> s still a task and a half note that you probably won't have support for the games windows might have had before
[09:10] <Gnea> KM0201: depending on what games he wants to play
[09:10] <Coolslai> i was thinking sual boot, but i wanted oto know which i should use as my master
[09:10] <Gnea> ubuntu has plenty of decent games, some of them aren't mainstream
[09:11] <KM0201> Gnea, true... but Wine/Gaming.. is far from perfect for Windows games...
[09:11] <kai696> Gnea :P they are amazing to be honest.
[09:11] <Gnea> Coolslai: whichever you're comfortable with
[09:11] <Coolslai> wat u mean i need vbox running?
[09:11] <KM0201> Gnea, i agree.. i love Urban Terror...
[09:11] <Gnea> KM0201: I was refering more to native linux games
[09:11] <kai696> Coolslai, Virutal Box
[09:11] <binchel> what's this
[09:11] <Coolslai> i have it installed and running fine... i just need i tsetup
[09:11] <kai696> binchel, I'm not sure, what IS this ?
[09:11] <Gnea> kai696: yeah, I enjoy some now and then
[09:11] <Coolslai> i have it installed and running fine... i just need i tsetup
[09:12] <kai696> coolslai, burn ISO to disk using image burner (PowerISO, Nero, so on)
[09:12] <Gnea> !ubuntu | binchel
[09:12] <Coolslai> i have nero i think
[09:12] <Coolslai> wbut i dont have the iso
[09:12] <Gnea> Coolslai: for now, you're better off getting vbox to work
[09:12] <kai696> Would anyone have a moment look over my delima ?? ( can repost is needed )
[09:13] <Gnea> kai696: do it
[09:13] <Coolslai> i download and its WinRar
[09:13] <icarus-c> Coolslai, that's because winrar associate with .iso file
[09:13] <kai696> Coolslai﻿anyways, I'm trying to install grub from a live-disk that no longer has ubuntu partitioned on it, I don't know how to repair the MBR from a windows side of things, but i'm having trouble installing the actual grub itself to my box. (mounted Sda1 already)
[09:13] <Gnea> Coolslai: okay, let's try this again - go to the ubuntu site, and when it asks you what you want to do with it, you say "save as..."
[09:13] <icarus-c> Coolslai, forget winrar and just burn it with a image burning software
[09:13] <icarus-c> *burn to disc
[09:13] <kai696> Coolslai: ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[09:13] <Coolslai> okay
[09:14] <Coolslai> okay
[09:14] <kai696> Gnea my post was part of a Coolslai reply haha sorry it is reposted however
[09:14] <Coolslai> wat do i save it as? winRAr file or "all files"
[09:14] <icarus-c> Coolslai, for your own good, change Windows file explorer preferences to not to hide known filename extension
[09:15] <icarus-c> Coolslai, those you get from http://ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download  are ISO   (disc image)
[09:15] <Gnea> kai696: wait, you say you DON'T know how to use fixmbr in windows? :)
[09:15] <kai696> Coolslai : Winrar has the ability to take over ISO files so if it shows and a winRAR icon it doesn't mean it IS winRAR format
[09:15] <zipp0> hello everyone, now i begin install Ubuntu 10.10, but i'm thinking how about partitions. /boot, /home, /tmp, /usr, /var, /, ...
[09:15] <kai696> :P well not without a disc, Gnea
[09:15] <Gnea> Coolslai: all files
[09:15] <zipp0> my hdd space is 200GB
[09:15] <Coolslai> well thats wa happened
[09:15] <icarus-c> Coolslai, WinRar is involved here because when you install WinRar, you tell it to be the default application to handle ISO too
[09:15] <zipp0> anyone help me to fix it,plz !
[09:15] <icarus-c> Coolslai, but winrar could only extract ISO,  not burning to disc
[09:15] <seidos> anybody know what version of alsa comes with maverick?
[09:15] <kai696> zipp0, What's the problem?
[09:16] <Coolslai> okaty, so in short what should i do? re download? or what?
[09:16] <vega-> zipp0: forget partitioning into a million pieces.. 20gb for /, rest /home
[09:16] <Gnea> zipp0: those are directories, not partitions... shouldn't need to split them up that drastically... /home on its own is usually good enough
[09:16] <icarus-c> zipp0, since you have asked such quesiton, you could forget those /tmp, /usr, /var... part.   just like 15GB  / (rootfs)  and the rest for /home
[09:16] <icarus-c> zipp0, plus SWAP
[09:16] <vega-> zipp0: assuming this is a desktop
[09:16] <Gnea> zipp0: meh, I'd say 80gb for /, rest for /home
[09:16] <kai696> Gnea any solution to my problem ??
[09:16] <vega-> yeah swap of course
[09:16] <icarus-c> Gnea, 80GB for / ?!
[09:17] <vega-> 80? what for?
[09:17] <Gnea> icarus-c: /var
[09:17] <vega-> almost half his drive
[09:17] <icarus-c> Gnea, clean it up a bit man
[09:17] <icarus-c> just ~10GB here
[09:17] <zipp0> i use 2GB for swap
[09:17] <icarus-c>  i mean the whole /
[09:17] <popey> 10GB here for / too
[09:17] <binchel> is there any Chinese here?
[09:17] <Gnea> icarus-c: heh, you don't use sql much I take it
[09:17] <vega-> 10-20 is more than enough to have room for upgrading etc.
[09:17] <zipp0> 80GB for / ? i think it's too large
[09:17] <zipp0> :D
[09:17] <icarus-c> binchel, yes. but we don't speak chinese on this channel
[09:17] <ecit> binchel: ^_^
[09:17] <Gnea> Coolslai: yes, just save it as an .iso file
[09:17] <icarus-c> binchel, for chinese , /join  #ubuntu-cn
[09:18] <kaco> nazdar pelo
[09:18] <kaco> prdi
[09:18] <icarus-c> Coolslai, you don't have to redownload.... it is just WinRar registers itself as the default application to handle ISO
[09:18] <Coolslai> Gnea icarus-c kai696 : okay, so in short what should i do? re download? or what?
[09:18] <kai696> Coolslai, go to PM window
[09:18] <Coolslai> kk
[09:18] <kai696>  @ everyone ﻿I'm trying to install grub from a live-disk that no longer has ubuntu partitioned on it, I don't know how to repair the MBR from a windows side of things, but i'm having trouble installing the actual grub itself to my box. (mounted Sda1 already)
[09:18] <Gnea> Coolslai: did you see how I said to "save it as an .iso file"? yes, that means re-download it
[09:18] <binchel> redo the os
[09:18] <binchel> hehe
[09:18] <icarus-c> Coolslai, seriously, set not to hide file name extension in explorer,  it helps
[09:18] <Coolslai> ohbut wat d o i do bout RAR?
[09:19] <Gnea> Coolslai: kill it
[09:19] <icarus-c> Coolslai, screw winrar
[09:19] <zipp0> but for the last time, i mean the time i'll install ubuntu 11.04, i don't want to backup data to another hdd
[09:19] <ecit> Coolslai: unrar it, run wubi.exe~
[09:19] <icarus-c> unrar an iso ?...
[09:19] <icarus-c> NICE
[09:19] <ravibn> need help with repo for installing xen 4.0
[09:19] <zipp0> so, how can i store all of my data on a "stable directory"
[09:19] <zipp0> ?
[09:20] <icarus-c> zipp0, stable directory?
[09:20] <Gnea> kai696: honestly, I'd just use a livecd on a cd or usb stick, boot that and follow directions for getting grub working again
[09:20] <vega-> zipp0: that's just what a separate /home partition is for, to be able to upgrade nicely
[09:20] <Coolslai> ecit: how do i un Rar it?
[09:20] <zipp0> icarus-c: i mean, i don't want to move/backup my data to another devices to reinstall newest ubuntu
[09:20] <vega-> zipp0: upgrade won't touch /home
[09:20] <icarus-c> zipp0, just keep /home on another partition , that well no matter how you screw up the OS  (/ rootfs)  it wouldn't affect your user data
[09:21] <kai696> Gnea i'm not sure what you mean, I'm here because there aren't step-by-step instructions :P
[09:21] <ecit> Coolslai: just like a normal rar file..
[09:21] <Gnea> kai696: are you using grub 1 or grub2?
[09:21] <popey> zipp0: you don't need to have /home on a separate partition to reinstall and not lose the contents of /home
[09:21] <Coolslai> ecit: oh u mean extract it?
[09:21] <icarus-c> Coolslai, kai696 you don't "unrar" an ISO... but extract it.   WinRar could extract ISO, yes/
[09:21] <popey> zipp0: recent versions of Ubuntu have been able to reinstall over the top
[09:21] <ecit> Coolslai: eh , yes!
[09:21] <Coolslai> lol okay
[09:21] <ravibn> need help with repo for installing xen 4.0 or latest on 10.10 desktop ?
[09:21] <icarus-c> Coolslai, do you want to burn to disc or what?
[09:21] <kai696> icarus-c, I know ? I never stated different
[09:22] <Coolslai> yeah i do
[09:22] <zipp0> vega-: icarus-c: i think it's good for me :D But, if i won't upgrade, i'll reinstall over the older version ubuntu, that data will be ok?
[09:22] <Coolslai> but i have no spare discs...
[09:22] <icarus-c> Coolslai, use USB drive then
[09:22] <Gnea> Coolslai: don't worry, for vbox you don't need a real cd, just point it at the iso
[09:22] <kai696> ﻿Gnea i'm not using anything, this box WAS duel-booting, but I nuked the ubuntu partition from windows management
[09:22] <Coolslai> okay
[09:22] <popey> zipp0: if you choose to manually partition during install of 11.04 and _dont_ tick the 'format' option it will reinstall over the top and keep your /home data
[09:22] <zipp0> popey: ah, really, thanks for that information :D
[09:22] <vega-> zipp0: yes it will, you just specify your old /home when reinstalling (remembering not to click "format")
[09:22] <Gnea> kai696: well that's a fine how-ya-do lol
[09:22] <kai696> Gnea: And I know, my own stupid idea haha
[09:23] <icarus-c> zipp0, look..... all your data should sit in /home,  if not, blame yourself for that.   therefore,  no matter how many times you format  /  rootfs,  your /home on another partition is untouched
[09:23] <popey> icarus-c: uhm, mysql data doesn't sit in /home
[09:23] <popey> icarus-c: so its unfair to blame someone when their data isnt in /home
[09:23] <icarus-c> popey, that is another story right?
[09:23] <Coolslai> I am extracting it now.... i start wubi, then what?
[09:23] <kai696> Gnea: but anyways, I'd like to get my computer to be able to boot again so I either need to reinstall windows MBR from live CD or install grub from live-cd, either way I am strictly working only with linux
[09:23] <Coolslai> I am extracting it now.... i start wubi, then what?
[09:23] <popey> icarus-c: no, not really
[09:23] <ravibn> need help with repo for installing xen 4.0 or latest on 10.10 desktop
[09:23] <zipp0> icarus-c: ok, i got it, thanks a lot :D
[09:24] <Gnea> kai696: okay, so what version of ubuntu are you trying to work with?
[09:24] <ecit> Coolslai: like install a normal softwore, you can install ubuntu in windows
[09:24] <Gnea> !xen
[09:24] <kai696> Gnea: 8.04
[09:24] <Coolslai> but can i switch between windows and ubuntu?
[09:24] <kai696> Hardy Heron
[09:24] <Gnea> kai696: okay, then you're using grub1
[09:25] <Gnea> !grub | kai696
[09:25] <Gnea> kai696: see the restoregrub link :)
[09:25] <icarus-c> Coolslai, you could dual boot
[09:25] <kai696>  ! note, it's not able to restore as the partition is no longer there
[09:25] <ecit> Coolslai: after install, reboot , you will see a menu for select os. have fan
[09:25] <Exploiter> how can i open director name 'new folder' as it have space in it???
[09:25] <Gnea> Coolslai: yes
[09:25] <kai696> @ Gnea
[09:25] <ZeiP> I'm getting this when trying to launch gnome-do: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/TDErDVkP . All the other mono software are broken too... What could cause this?
[09:25] <kai696> I've been reading a few forums and that is why I am here
[09:25] <icarus-c> Exploiter, cd "new folder"  OR  cd new\ folder
[09:26] <wanttoknow> \join ubuntu-cn
[09:26] <icarus-c> /
[09:26] <Gnea> kai696: you're missing the point. you said you wanted to reinstall grub, this will get you to reinstall grub.
[09:26] <kai696> I want to reinstall grub WITHOUT having a linux partition
[09:26] <Coolslai> okay, so lemme get tis straight, install ubuntu like regular, then restart my computer, and just pick which OS i wanna start?
[09:26] <Gnea> kai696: I didn't say anything about reinstalling ubuntu.
[09:26] <Coolslai> okay, so lemme get tis straight, install ubuntu like regular, then restart my computer, and just pick which OS i wanna start?
[09:26] <Gnea> kai696: yes, I know, so boot the livecd and do it.
[09:26] <Exploiter> icarus is this syntax corret? = cd /usr/"new folder"/file1/
[09:26] <ecit> Coolslai: yes it is
[09:26] <kai696> Gnea I'm on the live cd :P but i'm having trouble haha that is why I am here mate
[09:27] <Gnea> kai696: you need to have a small linux partition there for the grub files, it is inevitable
[09:27] <icarus-c> Exploiter, eh... good quesiton, i've never done that.  but  cd  "/usr/new folder/file1/"
[09:27] <Coolslai> will i have to do permission s... to view all my files and stuff....
[09:27] <icarus-c> Exploiter, are you really making a folder in /usr/ ?
[09:27] <Exploiter> ok thanks !!
[09:27] <razz1> what are the ports that need to be open for transmission to work properly?
[09:27] <Gnea> Coolslai: worry about permissions later
[09:27] <Exploiter> just example
[09:27] <icarus-c> razz1, depends on your setting
[09:27] <Gnea> Coolslai: just get it working first
[09:27] <ecit> Coolslai: You could operate windows's files in ubuntu
[09:28] <Coolslai> k
[09:28] <Coolslai> brb...
[09:28] <kai696> ecit: not natively
[09:28] <icarus-c> why not?..
[09:28] <icarus-c> and what do you mean by natively?
[09:28] <kai696> ie: .exe files won't open without WINE
[09:28] <ecit> kai696: often be~
[09:28] <kai696> (software not included with the ubuntu install)
[09:28] <icarus-c> kai696, you could be a good lawyer...
[09:29] <kai696> icarus-c if only I wasn't in computer **
[09:29] <icarus-c> you could challenge the word "operate"  /__\
[09:29] <Gnea> lol
[09:29] <greamer> i was at my friends house.  we drank out.  we made decisions the day after that we should drink again next week.
[09:29] <kai696> Damn right I could
[09:29] <ecit> ok ok
[09:29] <Coolslai> wtf is it download the iso torrent for on wubi?
[09:30] <razz1> icarus-c: like, I am using UFW, already added a rule for incoming connections port. But when I run nmap, it does not seem to be open
[09:30] <Gnea> greamer: this has what to do with ubuntu?
[09:30] <bazhang> greamer, wrong channel
[09:30] <icarus-c> Coolslai, tell wubi to use the iso you just downloaded (which is itself)
[09:30] <rapha> Hi!
[09:30] <kai696> Hi!
[09:30] <Gnea> Hi!
[09:30] <rapha> What is the proper way to write a language like Arabic under Ubuntu 10.10?
[09:30] <icarus-c> razz1, what about your router/firewall
[09:30] <kai696> lol
[09:30] <greamer> it's a friends house.  he has a laptop that i needed to check out before drinking.  thought you should know.
[09:30] <bazhang> greamer, stop that
[09:31] <Coolslai> ugh... ill just wait 2 hours... >.< ill be back in a about 2 hrs
[09:31] <Gnea> greamer: I know a door you could check out
[09:31] <kai696> Greamer have you been drinking tonight?
[09:31] <razz1> icarus-c: no router, using mobile broadband, directly connected to net
[09:31] <greamer> next week.  fo shew.
[09:31] <icarus-c> razz1, well probably mobile broadband would block incomming connections
[09:31] <icarus-c> razz1, but not sure. ask your ISP
[09:32] <kai696> icarus-c does transmission have encription ?? I thought it did
[09:32] <kai696> if so shouldn't be a problem to download torrents
[09:32] <icarus-c> kai696, the point is about ISP blocks all incoming connection
[09:33] <icarus-c> if you disable ufw (firewall),  and you still can't get incoming connections in transmission or whatever.  i suppose ISP is blocking it
[09:34] <icarus-c> it refers to all incoming connections
[09:34] <kai696> icarus-c I'm a lawer and I say objection ! ... under no reasonable grounds.
[09:34] <icarus-c> not just about BT detection and block it..
[09:34] <icarus-c> but any incomming connection
[09:34] <icarus-c> think of a NAT network without port forwarding
[09:35] <icarus-c> "python -m SimpleHTTPServer "  then use machine from another network to access  http://<your_ip>:8000/
[09:36] <icarus-c> eh wait
[09:36] <icarus-c> forget it
[09:36] <razz1> icarus-c: I get incoming connections, but the speed do not go above 10kb? used the google tool to check if my ISP was blocking torrents, came up negative. any other reason why speeds are so low
[09:37] <icarus-c> well that suggest your ISP is not blocking incoming connections
[09:38] <kai696> lol
[09:38] <kai696> I love you icarus-c
[09:38] <icarus-c> thanks
[09:39] <razz1> icarus-c: kai696: can you think of any reasons? i am at a loss
[09:39] <icarus-c> no peers? :P
[09:39] <Gnea> razz1: who's your isp?
[09:39] <razz1> gnea: vodafone
[09:39] <kai696> razz1: no idea to be honest. if he's on a network then maybe modifying inc ports is probablyhis only solution if the ISP is not blocking inc
[09:39] <Gnea> razz1: maybe the transmissions on the other end(s) are slow?
[09:40] <razz1> Gnea: one thing I have noticed is when I test the incoming port in transmission, it always says closed? not sure why? even without firewall
[09:42] <bullgard4> Why does Maverick message: "s2disk snapshooting system" when I resume-from-disk? Isn't this nonsense?
[09:42] <kai696> bullgard4 snap-shot from wake ? that's odd lol
[09:42] <Gnea> razz1: http://www.torrent-invites.com/bittorrent-discussion/70693-vodafone-prohibits-p2p-use-broadband-customers.html
[09:43] <razz1> Gnea: any other good client for ubuntu, I used to use utorrent in windows.
[09:43] <bullgard4> kai696: "wake" is an ambiguous term. It has several different meanings.
[09:43] <Gnea> razz1: dunno, I'm at uni now so torrent is pretty much off-limits
[09:44] <icarus-c> uni is lovely
[09:44] <kai696> resume-from-disk, assuming disk is "sleep" you're waking it
[09:44] <kai696> it's not ambiguous when common sense is applied
[09:44] <bullgard4> kai696: Thank you for commenting.
[09:45] <Tokumei> isnt deluge any good and similar to mutorrent for windows?
[09:45] <Gnea> well, one can have common sense and not know how to apply it
[09:45] <kai696> Gnea: lol
[09:45] <Tokumei> razz1, you can also run mutorrent with wine, it's supported
[09:46] <Gnea> kai696: wouldn't you agree? how many normal, decent everyday people have you met that go absolutely back to the stone age when they don't re-apply common sense to the problem?
[09:47] <razz1> Tokumei: thanks, actually I can run it in windows VM but wanted to know if there were any alternative to run natively in ubuntu
[09:47] <kai696> Gnea: I'm not getting into this on the grounds that I'll get myself pissed off at stupid people that make no sense... too many now a days
[09:48] <Gnea> kai696: but even they're a step up from the ones that just want to sit there and blame you for everything bad that's happened to them :)
[09:48] <rapha> How can I write Arabic in Ubuntu 10.10?
[09:48] <kai696> gnea: LOL
[09:48] <Gnea> !arabic
[09:48] <kai696> rapha: System>Administration>Language Support
[09:48] <Gnea> rapha: I'm pretty sure they can help you in there with that
[09:48] <rapha> hopefully they speak english there ... thanks Gnea
[09:48] <Gnea> rapha: good luck
[09:48] <rapha> kai696: already installed it :)
[09:49] <kai696> !arabic Rapha
[09:49] <kai696> !arabic
[09:50]  * Gnea passes the summer sausage and cheese to kai696 
[09:50] <kai696> lol I'm not sure IRC action commands so I won't give it a go,
[09:50] <Gnea>  /me does something
[09:50] <Gnea> :)
[09:51]  * kai696 is not sure why Gnea is passing him summer sausage and cheese, but gladly accepts, and eats. haha 
[09:51]  * sdl_init 
[09:52] <Gnea> because it's an awesome snack at 4am
[09:52] <kai696> anyways, there's this attractive female that works at the Esso down the street that I'm going to sexually harrass for the next little while, or until Gparted finishes it's operation. for those curious about my install windows MBR from ubuntu live disk looks like the fix was sudo apt-get ms-sys
[09:53] <icarus-c> rapha, i think  ibus/scim support arabic input.
[09:53] <Spofer> Hi all, I have a weird dpkg problem - http://paste.ubuntu.com/512983/
[09:53] <Gnea> kai696: awesome
[09:53] <kai696> Gnea: I am, Aren't I
[09:54] <Gnea> well, you can be full of yourself or full of sausage and cheese lol
[09:54] <kai696> hahahaha byee mate
[09:54] <Gnea> later
[09:55] <icarus-c> rapha, and maybe you need to change keyboard layout too
[09:55] <icarus-c> rapha, aha!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGY3Bhce2CU
[09:55] <icarus-c> easier than i thought
[09:58] <will> ?
[09:58] <root> hello
[09:58] <Fikret_TR> Hi
[09:58] <will> hello
[09:58] <icarus-c> echo "hello" | write root
[09:59] <will> how are u
[09:59] <skalka> hi
[09:59] <Fikret_TR> Thanku im fine are u
[10:00] <atude> wtf
[10:00] <Jordan_U> atude: I warned you it was a dangerous command. Now look what you did to the channel :)
[10:00] <Gnea> lol
[10:00] <atude> Jordan_U: >_>
[10:01] <Jordan_U> atude: Try "sudo dpkg --configure libc6 -o  APT::Immediate-Configure=0".
[10:01] <atude> Jordan_U: yeah, same error
[10:02] <Jordan_U> atude: Try "sudo apt-get -f install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=0" again then. You should see more output than before.
[10:02] <Rickardo1> How do I flush the postfix send que without starting the service?
[10:02] <will> hello
[10:03] <q1w> i managed to install tor and privoxy
[10:03] <lucent> Rickardo1: this is covered in the manual page 'sendmail flush'
[10:03] <will> whats goin on
[10:03] <q1w> now i shoul configure my browser to use it right?
[10:03] <atude> Jordan_U: yes much more.. looks like there's some awk in there
[10:03] <Roland> anyone knows how to make ser2net connect to another computer? not listen for a connection
[10:04] <Tokumei> razz1, deluge is a native client. transmission is the default bittorrent client in ubuntu and it's my favorite bittorrent client on os x
[10:05] <joshuakey> I'm using desktop version, 10.10 on my netbook, but want to try remix. anybody can help me?
[10:05] <Spofer> Hi all, I have a weird dpkg problem - http://paste.ubuntu.com/512983/
[10:05] <gucki> hi. i messed up my files in initramfs-tools while writing some boot scripts. now i wonder how i can the whole folder get regenerated? which package do i have to install. i tried a lot, but none brought me back the original files (i moved /etc/initramfs-tools to a temp location so the new package should think it's nothing there and so install everything new)
[10:05] <twermund> @joshuakey on your login screen you can select different desktop sessions, chose one that is not Ubuntu Netbook Edition, because that is Unity
[10:05] <lucent> Roland: any connection, really
[10:06] <th1> hi can anyone help me to get sound in Java on ubuntu 10.10?
[10:06] <th1> the java apps work but there is no sound output
[10:06] <lucent> Roland: you want to emulate a serial character device that transmits network data?
[10:06] <joshuakey> thanks, i'll try.twermund.
[10:06] <razz1> Tokumei: I just installed utorrent in windows VM and it works just fine with speeds hitting the max, I still cannot figure out why transmission is having issues?
[10:07] <lucent> razz1: which filesystem?
[10:07] <q1w> how to configure my system in order to use tor?
[10:07] <Jordan_U> atude: Pastebin?
[10:07] <lucent> q1w: #tor
[10:07] <q1w> lucent nice
[10:07] <lucent> tor is not an Ubuntu issue.
[10:07] <atude> Jordan_U: sorry, server I was using went down
[10:07] <Roland> lucent, no, the local computer must connect to a remote computers ip_addr:port and send/receive data from local computers serial port to remotes tcp/ip port
[10:08] <atude> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/512989/
[10:08] <lucent> Roland: oh okay use 'telnet'
[10:08] <th1> razz1, is it because the windows client uses upnp to punch an incoming hole in your router and Transmission doesn't
[10:08] <razz1> lucent: ext4
[10:08] <Tanvir> In which directory ubuntu keeps it's default background images?
[10:08] <razz1> th1: there is no router, connected directly to net
[10:08] <lucent> razz1: ext4 is bad news for bittorrent client behaviors, suggest using ext3 as your filesystem to sanity check
[10:09] <Roland> lucent, how do I redirect data from serial port to telnet?
[10:09] <lucent> Roland: don't know about that
[10:09] <lucent> Roland: if ser2net can do it then it will be detailed in the example config file
[10:09] <th1> Roland, do you want incoming telnet session to connect to your local serial port?
[10:10] <Roland> th1, no it must be outgoing connection
[10:10] <Jordan_U> atude: What is the output of "sudo locale-gen --purge; echo $?" ?
[10:10] <kai696> Hey all, for some reason Gparted is taking one heck of a long time to expand my SDA1 volume... (hours upon hours), anyone know why this might be ?
[10:10] <Roland> th1, the computer with the serial port connects to a remote computer and shares the serial port
[10:10] <kai696> (fast enough computer, really shouldn't take that long. 4gb ram 2.6ghz)
[10:10] <joshuakey> @twermund I log out and check but there is no session menu, just my log in id. I use desktop version 10.10. Should I install ubuntu-remix?
[10:11] <th1> Roland, what is running on the remote computer?
[10:11] <atude> Jordan_U: cat: /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ies4linux-2.99.0.1: Is a director
[10:11] <Maddeth> kai696: how much data you got on it? and if it was a windows partition did you defrag before?
[10:11] <joshuakey> but i could not find in synaptic package.
[10:11] <Roland> th1, a random application which runs a socket server
[10:11] <Fikret_TR> When will start ubuntu in Education event?
[10:12] <Maddeth> kai696: wait.. just expanding?
[10:12] <kai696> Maddeth: running live DVD of ubuntu 8.04m disk size 250GB expanding to 500GB..
[10:12] <th1> Roland, ser2net maybe?
[10:12] <kai696> the expansion is a windows partition, yes
[10:12] <th1> but that takes incoming connection
[10:12] <Jordan_U> atude: That may be the root of all your problems. (may).
[10:12] <twermund> @joshuakey if you type in your username and then press enter you should see a bar pop up asking you to choose a session
[10:12] <atude> Jordan_U: that's good to know, in ways...
[10:12] <Roland> th1, ser2net expects someone to connect to it, not the other way round
[10:12] <atude> Jordan_U: let use proceed, heavily armed
[10:12] <atude> s/use/us
[10:13] <Maddeth> kai696: the space that it is being expanded into, is it free or being moved?
[10:13] <kai696> unallocated space to ntfs
[10:13] <Tanvir> Hello, In which directory ubuntu keeps it's default background images?
[10:13] <kai696> (ie, existing NTFS @ 250GB; another 250 unallocated (Deleted partition))
[10:13] <Jordan_U> atude: Try running the ie4linux uninstall script. Or if you can't find one then move that directory into your home directory (so that it's out of the way but can be restored if needed).
[10:14] <Maddeth> kai696: hmm, not sure why it is taking so long then, how long has it been running, and what is it doing at the moment?
[10:14] <kai696> @ Tanvir /usr/share/backgrounds
[10:14] <demetris_> hi
[10:14] <demetris_> am looking for some help
[10:14] <kai696> 2 hour estimated finish time. been running for 30 mintues now
[10:14] <Tanvir> Thanks kai696
[10:14] <bullgard4> Tanvir: Read 'man gdm'. I am not sure if Ubuntu's manual is detailed enough but Sun's is.
[10:14] <kai696> np
[10:15] <kai696> Demetris_ What is the problem ?
[10:15] <demetris_> nvidia drivers
[10:15] <demetris_> xorg config

[10:15] <demetris_> i install by gnome
[10:15] <demetris_> no go
[10:15] <demetris_> i manually install same sh*t
[10:15] <coz_> ooo
[10:15] <kai696> please watch language
[10:16] <Maddeth> kai696: not sure why it is taking so long
[10:16] <kai696> Maddeth: me either :P
[10:16] <atude> Jordan_U: wow, progress............
[10:16] <coz_> demetris_,  would you walk me through how you installed the nvidia drivers  in one sentence
[10:16] <demetris_> after restart says xorg has not configured
[10:16] <atude> Jordan_U: stuff is actually installing
[10:16] <kai696> Demetris_ check query
[10:16] <Jordan_U> atude: :)
[10:16] <demetris_> i sudo nvidia-xconfig
[10:16] <atude> Jordan_U: I'm probably being tricked though, so hang tight
[10:17] <demetris_> it re installs but same thing
[10:17] <kai696> I sent you a link in query (PM) please go there
[10:17] <th1> Roland, use ncat from the nmap package with -e option to run cu
[10:17] <newbie|2> Help!! after an update my ubuntu (10.10) freeze at loading the Gnome desktop. I have gnome-shell as startup application. What can i do??
[10:17] <coz_> demetris_,  did you manually install another nvidia driver?
[10:17] <Jordan_U> atude: Please file a bug report against ie4linux. Even if this doesn't fix everything I'm pretty sure it's a pretty serious bug in ie4linux.
[10:18] <atude> Jordan_U: what do I do?
[10:18] <Tanvir> kai696, I can't copy-pest image there.
[10:18] <Tanvir> :(
[10:18] <Tanvir> How can I do that?
[10:19] <kai696> Tanvir you need to terminal move the image
[10:19] <kai696> newbie|2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/406266
[10:19] <Tanvir> How?
[10:19] <demetris_> sudo apt-get dkms build-essential -> invalid operation kdms
[10:19] <atude> Jordan_U: I guess I mean, what do I say? I'm not exactly sure what information to entail
[10:19] <demetris_> how i fix this?
[10:19] <Roland> th1, can ncat send/recv data both ways?
[10:19] <kai696> Tanvir :Type "man mv" at the command line to learn about moving files.
[10:19] <lunavorax> hello everyone !
[10:19] <Tanvir> kai696, okay.
[10:20] <lunavorax> Will kernel 2.6.35 be available as an update for ubuntu 10.04 ?
[10:20] <kieran-wee> hi can anyone help me.? when im running ubuntu it connects for like 3 mins then disconnects?
[10:20] <kaptan_11> hi!
[10:20] <kai696> Kieran-wee, what do you mean "disconnects"? Are you running wireless ?
[10:20] <Jordan_U> atude: I'm not completely sure either, and it's too late for me to think right now (2 AM) so maybe I can help you write a bug report tomorrow?
[10:21] <kieran-wee> no kai696 im using a 3 dongle.
[10:21] <newbie|2> kai696: i can't see any solution there. it's Incomplete....so?? :/
[10:21] <kieran-wee> my 13 year old brother gets this problem on his computer to.
[10:21] <atude> Jordan_U: sure.. I'm in the same timezone :p
[10:21] <nebula_> help
[10:21] <Roland> th1, can ncat send/recv data at the same time*
[10:21] <nebula_> Desktop effects could not be enabled
[10:21] <nebula_> ?
[10:22] <Jordan_U> atude: :)
[10:22] <atude> Jordan_U: the dude who maintains (or doesnt?) doesn't seem to have a bug tracker of any type
[10:22] <kaptan_11> I use Ubuntu 10.04.1. When i write to terminal "sudo firefox" it opens the firefox with the default users config settings. But when i write "sudo nautilus" it open the nautilus with new config settings. Which is the directory when i use an application with "sudo" ?
[10:22] <atude> Jordan_U: so a personal email would probably suffice, no?
[10:22] <Tanvir> kai696, there is so much texts, I don't know which section I need to read.
[10:22] <Tanvir> What will be the command to move?
[10:22] <kai696> newbie|2 <-Can you please upgrade to GNOME Do 0.8.2 and let us know if this still occurs?  (Or even better, compile source from bzr trunk!)
[10:22] <atude> Jordan_U: shouldn't I send it to someone who maintains the package for ubuntu though?
[10:23] <kai696> kieran-wee http://www.technicalathma.com/2010/09/installing-3g-dongle-on-ubuntu/
[10:23] <newbie|2> kai696: i can't see my desktop! it freezes the gnome....so how can i upgrade an app?
[10:23] <kieran-wee> kai696 i cant read that well :(
[10:24] <th1> Roland, yes, like this: ncat -t  -e "/usr/bin/cu -p ttyS0" HOST PORT
[10:24] <Jordan_U> atude: There is no package for Ubuntu (at least not in the standard repositories).
[10:24] <atude> Jordan_U: ah...... >_>
[10:24] <gauravbutola> plz help, I cant uncheck "Manage Windows Without Launcher" of the docky.
[10:24] <kai696> EVERYONE: please don't be lazy, were here to point you in the right direction, this should be a learning experience for you as well
[10:25] <kieran-wee> kai696 but with that it wont let me click on mobile connections.
[10:25] <kieran-wee> its a blank tab on it
[10:25] <kai696> Tavir :$  sudo mv /Library/StartupItems/Broadbandoptimizer/ ~/Desktop <-- this is an expample of moving broadbandoptimizer to your desktop
[10:25] <kai696> change it for moving images
[10:25] <kai696> Kieran-wee one moment
[10:25] <kaptan_11> I use Ubuntu 10.04.1. When i write to terminal "sudo firefox" it opens the firefox with the default users config settings. But when i write "sudo nautilus" it open the nautilus with new config settings. Which is the directory of config files when i use an application with "sudo" ?
[10:27] <kai696> Kieran-wee : copy and paste this http://www.technicalathma.com/2010/09/installing-3g-dongle-on-ubuntu/
[10:27] <kai696> (don't just click on it)
[10:27] <atude> Jordan_U: why would that directory have caused so many problems?
[10:27] <orpheu> hi everyone. can someone help me settings the font types to default?
[10:27] <iceroot> kai696: 1. never run firefox as root, 2. use gksudo
[10:27] <iceroot> kai696: sorry wrong nick
[10:27] <yillkid> Can I ask Cmake question in here? too few people in CMAKE IRC ..
[10:27] <atude> no
[10:27] <iceroot> kaptan_11: 1. never run firefox as root, 2. use gksudo for nautilus
[10:27] <orpheu> I've installed fontmatrix and this for some reason, messed around with my configurations...
[10:27] <kieran-wee> kai696 im on that website but what im trying to explain is when i go on ubuntu it wont let me click on the mobile connections tab
[10:28] <elyob> Hi, have a device plugged into /dev/ttyUSB0 which I have to quite often remove and reinsert due to an overflow (am reading via head command).  Is there any way I can emulate this reinsert via command line?
[10:28] <Jordan_U> atude: Because it caused locale-gen to fail, which caused the libc6 configure script to fail, and pretty much *every* package depends on libc6.
[10:28] <iceroot> kaptan_11: and the directory you are asking is /root/
[10:28] <kai696> Kieran-wee I am sorry I wasn't able to find another solution for you :( keep looking though
[10:28] <kaptan_11> iceroot: i know i dont have to open firefox with sudo but i want to learn so im trying something. anyway i try gksudo nautilus and it opens with a new user config users settings (i mean it is like reseting).
[10:29] <atude> Jordan_U: wjat does locale-gen have to do with the mix? I see as everything is updating, locale-gen is being ran
[10:29] <iceroot> kaptan_11: you are running it as root with the config of root
[10:29] <kaptan_11> iceroot: ah ok. thank you!
[10:29] <liuyq> hello
[10:29] <iceroot> kaptan_11: every user had its own config, saved in his home-directory
[10:29] <Jordan_U> atude: When there is a libc upgrade locale-gen needs to be run. locale-gen is now working because that directory has been removed.
[10:30] <newbie|2> kai696: any solution?
[10:30] <kaptan_11> iceroot: i understand . and why "sudo firefox" opens with my user-home files ? and not root users files ?
[10:30] <Jordan_U> kaptan_11: You should *never* run "sudo firefox">
[10:31] <kaptan_11>  Jordan_U: i know i just triyng something to leartn.
[10:31] <kaptan_11>  Jordan_U: tahnk you!
[10:31] <th1> can anyone help me how to get Java's sound working in 10.10?

[10:40] <hoare> Hi Guys. I have a problem: I made some settings about laptop-mode and power settings a few days ago. Now, there is no "suspend" "hibernate" options under poweroff menu. They have disappeared. How can I restore my settings.
[10:40] <Nagilum_> Roland: minicom?
[10:40] <Tanvir> Thanks kai696
[10:40] <kai696> Tavir did it work ?
[10:40] <kai696> Tanvir*
[10:40] <Tanvir> Yes.
[10:40] <kai696> :)
[10:40] <Tanvir> But at first it didn't appear on the background menu
[10:40] <stilia-johny> i had gnome shell 3 and i remove it complete and now when i am trying to enable compiz it show me a message "compiz desktop effect could not be enabled " any help
[10:41] <Tanvir> kai696, Maybe I need to clear that folder cache, right?
[10:41] <Roland> Nagilum_, I need something for an embedded device
[10:41] <u> nick manc
[10:41] <kai696> I'm honestly not sure, never delt with background images before, I like the current ones :0
[10:41] <soreau> stilia-johny: ask in #compiz
[10:41] <stilia-johny> thanks ...
[10:42] <Tanvir> kai696, What is the command to clear a folder cache?
[10:42] <Tanvir> Do you know?
[10:42] <Nagilum_> Roland: then cu seems like a good choice
[10:42] <hoare> anyone knows how to restore "suspend" option? I made some laptop-mode settings and I want to reset them.
[10:42] <Tanvir> kai696, I used that command to clear the .fonts cache.
[10:42] <Tanvir> But I forgot. :(
[10:42] <Nagilum_> Roland: what exactly do you want to do?
[10:43] <Roland> Nagilum_, the local computer must connect to a remote computers ip_addr:port and send/receive data from local computers serial port to remotes tcp/ip port
[10:43] <Nagilum_> Roland: ah, sounds like a case for slip
[10:43] <Nagilum_> Roland: see slattach
[10:44] <hoare> hmm obviously no one knows the solution :/
[10:44] <kai696> Not sure Tanvir,
[10:44] <kai696> Hoare, we might all be busy, query me your problem
[10:44] <Tanvir> kai696, okay. Thank you very much for your help.
[10:44] <kai696> Sorry I couldn't be more assistance, Tanvir
[10:44] <kai696> ﻿/server irc.gnome.org:#gnome-shell
[10:45] <kai696> oops
[10:45] <hkm> someboddy who know use aria2 pls?
[10:45] <Roland> Nagilum_, I think the slattach creates the connection over serial port,
[10:46] <SaRy> hoare, did you checked your bois Under " power management setting.
[10:46] <hkm> i need to know how to continue an download?
[10:46] <Nagilum_> Roland: isn't that what you asked for?
[10:46] <Roland> Nagilum_, serial port's data needs to be sent over ethernet
[10:46] <Nagilum_> Roland: what type of connection do you have?
[10:46] <hoare> SaRy: what is "bois"?
[10:46] <greamer> idaho.
[10:47] <hoare> SaRy: all my settings about "suspend" has gone. ie. on batt. power if lid closes it was suspending, however it is now empty and only option is shutdown.
[10:47] <hoare> I lost those settings.
[10:47] <Nagilum_> Roland: if you have tcp/ip you can use nc/netcat to pipe data over the network
[10:48] <hoare> I edited many files under /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/ however I uninstalled laptop-mode and disabled now, however suspend still doesnt exist
[10:49] <SingAlong> is "scp -r remote@remote.com:/some/remote/path localDir"  right to copy the entire dir from /some/remote/path to localDir?
[10:49] <hoare> Can anyone send me files under /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/ by zipping?
[10:49] <llutz> SingAlong: yes
[10:50] <SaRy> hoare, so those settings are gone from " System>>Preferences>>Power management.

[11:15] <hiChina> ask google
[11:15] <al_ektro> i want to check if there is a process running
[11:15] <mawst> You could install virtualbox instead, rather easily I might add, noob-tux
[11:15] <deadroot> i have a simple question. i'm trying to log the timestamps when my scripts do a particular task. i have been using "date | tee -a ~/log". is there a better way to do this? and with some more information, like "Step 123: [date]" instead of just "[date]"
[11:15] <al_ektro> like "ps |pgrep PROCESSNAME"

[11:17] <ariefbayu> hello there
[11:17] <noob-tux> sebsebseb: im having problem installing bt4 on vbox....that's why i might try vmware on it might works fine
[11:17] <ariefbayu> I've question. With the release of ubuntu 10.10, there's new font style. Now, I can't (don't want ATM) upgrade to 10.10. So, is there any way for me to install this font on 10.04?
[11:18] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: bt4 is a security pentration distro, so quite pointless to virtual machine it, and you probably shoudn't really be using it in the first place
[11:18] <akssps011> I was upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. when the packages were installed I chose to replace update-manager(options were keep and replace). After that msg appeared that "update manager not responding" and the distribution upgrade needs to be terminated. I restarted the PC and now I cannot boot into ubuntu anymore
[11:18] <noob-tux> sebsebseb: in vbox mostly i override all the repos i've used in bt4....doin update in my main ubuntu gives lots of problems....
[11:18] <irvken> how do i convert an ogg file to something i can put on you tube?
[11:18] <hoare> oh dudes. my "sudo pm-suspend" runs however, Suspend does not appear on shutdown menu. how can I restore it any ideas?
[11:18] <akssps011> Is there a way out ?
[11:18] <arky> Does anyone fully test driven FreeBSD in Gnome? Is it as easy to operate as Ubuntu "non-terminal" users?
[11:18] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: bt4 is not meant to be used as a desktop OS
[11:19] <hoare> I have ruined some power and laptop-mode settings and cant restore them
[11:19] <sebsebseb> arky: no FreeBSD will be more complacted to use than Ubuntu, you can virtual machine try it inside Ubuntu, with enough RAM and what not
[11:20] <noob-tux> sebsebseb: i aint using it for my own interest or any lame h4x0r thingy....i'm doin this for my college presentation....part of my thesis works....if i have the right to say no and get diploma i wouldnt give time on doing bt in the first place
[11:20] <akssps011> I can't even see the GRUB. The computer restarts when I try to boot in to ubuntu
[11:20] <ariefbayu> irvken, youtube don't accept ogg?
[11:20] <akssps011> Anyone to help ?
[11:20] <ambient_sky> Hia ll
[11:20] <jmazaredo> when i add user in linux, where do the system copies it from?
[11:20] <Nagilum_> akssps011: boot from CD and reinstall grub
[11:20] <jmazaredo> the default layout
[11:21] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: right well a lot of these courses teach stupid stuff, but sure use it some how then
[11:21] <noob-tux> sebsebseb: that's why i'm installing bt on a virtual machine and after that i'll delete it all...
[11:21] <ambient_sky> Is there anybody expirienced with X crash on Acer notebooks with dual monitors in some apps?

[11:21] <arky> sebsebseb: thanks...and you have used FreeBSD with Gnome extensively?
[11:21] <sebsebseb> arky: no
[11:21] <noob-tux> sebsebseb: if only i could punch my instructor and free from an assault charges i'll do it without hesitations
[11:22] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: well its good  your doing something with a LInux distro
[11:22] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: but the problem with backtrack
[11:22] <akssps011> Nagilum_: ok..looking
[11:22] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: is that a lot of the newbies,  think its ok to use it as a desktop OS, when it is not
[11:22] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: since its based on Ubuntu, that also means sometimes they come in here asking about it
[11:22] <Nagilum_> robtone: heute ein schritt vor, morgen zwei zurück
[11:22] <Nagilum_> ups, ECHAN
[11:23] <arky> Anyone else fully test driven FreeBSD in Gnome? Is it as easy to operate as Ubuntu "non-terminal" users?
[11:23] <sebsebseb> !backtrack | noob-tux
[11:23] <deadroot> nvrm. found my answer. thanks :)
[11:23] <akssps011> Nagilum_: My problem is this: Iwas upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. when the packages were installed I chose to replace update-manager(options were keep and replace). After that msg appeared that "update manager not responding" and the distribution upgrade needs to be terminated. I restarted the PC and now I cannot boot into ubuntu anymore
[11:23] <sebsebseb> arky: #bsd  #freebsd or something I guess
[11:23] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: also there are better distros, you could learn security stuff from
[11:23] <jmazaredo> when i add user using the command line where does the system gets its default layout for creating users?
[11:25] <irvken> ariefbayu you tube don't allow ogg format
[11:25] <noob-tux> sebsebseb: the only thing i loved about #bt4 is that they don't tolerate noobs! if u want to learn bt read stuffs rather asking basic things..... :) and they're so strict! so probably newbies got pissed and admins got the right to Kick or Ban them hehehehe
[11:25] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: well their fault for basing it on Ubuntu
[11:26] <racionalist> Hello :)
[11:26] <sebsebseb> noob-tux: you get noobs, if you base such a distro, on a noob distro
[11:26] <racionalist> Had someone problems with indicator-sound ? :D
[11:26] <racionalist> And one thing... Empathy sucks :D
[11:27] <Karen_m> pidgin

[11:32] <sebsebseb> deena: 64bit  Ubuntu should work on your computer,  if it will be good for you or not and the computer,  thats something else,  but can get an idea for that one when booting from the Live CD and trying
[11:32] <JoeMaverickSett> Sebben: i wouldn't say yes or no.so you gotto see for yourself.

[11:34] <rww> Tanvir: open a terminal, type "irssi"
[11:34] <Aemaeth> Tanvir, open a terminal and type irssi <server>
[11:34] <Aemaeth> rww, <3
[11:35] <Tanvir> irssi doesn't have graphical interface?
[11:35] <JoeMaverickSett> Tanvir: open a teminal by going to Application > Accessories > Terminal, and as everyone suggested type irssi
[11:35] <rww> Tanvir: no
[11:35] <JoeMaverickSett> Tanvir: nope.
[11:35] <Aemaeth> Tanvir, no, i think it's what you use when you don't want a gui...
[11:35] <JoeMaverickSett> Tanvir: if you want GUI, try xchat. :)
[11:36] <kaiserleo> xchat nutz ich auch
[11:36] <sebsebseb> !de | kaiserleo
[11:36] <Aemaeth> JoeMaverickSett, but why is the windows xchat $20? or is it like mirc where you never really have to pay? a windows user was asking
[11:36] <kaiserleo> i use xchat
[11:37] <dylan__> Hi. i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and i can't enable desktop effects .  when i try it says "searching for available drivers" then  "desktop effects could not be enabled"  can anyone help me?
[11:37] <JoeMaverickSett> Aemaeth: i don't know xchat on windows. i think it's like mIRC where you can choose to use the free trial, but I'm not sure though.
[11:37] <zonyl> dylan__: DId you change video cards on that installation ever?
[11:37] <noob-tux> JoeMaverickSett is right...xchat = mirc
[11:37] <Tanvir> There is a problem with xchat and chatzilla, they don't let 15/20 channel at a time. In Windows, mIRC does allow that.
[11:38] <dylan__> i just installed it last night then only thing ive done on this is install xchat and google chrome
[11:38] <Benkinooby> someone knows a pdf-viewer as powerfull as okular?
[11:38] <noob-tux> Tanvir then use mirc on ubuntu install it thru wine
[11:38] <Tanvir> Wine support mIRC?
[11:39] <ariefbayu> I've question. With the release of ubuntu 10.10, there's new font style. Now, I can't (don't want ATM) upgrade to 10.10. So, is there any way for me to install this font on 10.04?
[11:39] <Aemaeth> Tanvir, wine supports CounterStrike
[11:39] <JoeMaverickSett> ariefbayu: yes. let me pull that up for ya, hang on.
[11:39] <Tanvir> Aemaeth, sorry?
[11:39] <ronny> hi
[11:40] <JoeMaverickSett> ariefbayu: here it is. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/public-ubuntu-font-family-ppa-for.html
[11:40] <Aemaeth> Tanvir, it's a graphics intensive first person shooter, so it might handle mIRC
[11:40] <Tanvir> Oh.
[11:40] <ronny> is there a way to tell ubuntu via dhcp 'there is a local package repo cache'?
[11:40] <ariefbayu> JoeMaverickSett, Awesome, thx!
[11:40] <JoeMaverickSett> ariefbayu: i'm using 10.04 and yeah it works.so, cheers! hope you enjoy using Ubuntu. :)

[11:47] <Maniac`> don't see specific command in help list
[11:47] <JoeMaverickSett> tas: last time i did, ubuntu can't open it if it is. :(
[11:47] <tas> JoeMaverickSett, I did not have a peripheral device in my windows7
[11:47] <Maniac`> I can't configure wireless device cause it says:
[11:47] <Maniac`> # iw dev wlan0 set freq 2410
[11:47] <Maniac`> command failed: Device or resource busy (-16)
[11:47] <Maniac`> !!!!!

[11:48] <tas> JoeMaverickSett, it was working yesterday, it showe me my phone, but I had to close it, now it wont work, shows a big TURN ON BLUETOOTH button...
[11:48] <obiyoda> How do I get all the certificates into /etc/ssl/certs?
[11:48] <Aemaeth> JoeMaverickSett, since i have ATT it lets me pop!  i never checked that account
[11:48] <obiyoda> I think there is a command to download all the standard CA files but I can't find it.
[11:48] <Aemaeth> JoeMaverickSett, but on my regular @yahoo.com it won't let me, only @att.net
[11:49] <JoeMaverickSett> tas: hmm, i tried to guess the option. are you sure you didn't switch of the bluetooth device on win7?
[11:49] <nunojpg> on the graphic interface, file properties window, there is a tab for notes. Can I read that notes on the command line?
[11:49] <JoeMaverickSett> tas: device as in *driver* option. sorry for that.
[11:50] <tas> JoeMaverickSett, oh, no I didn't its on.
[11:50] <ambient_sky> exit
[11:51] <JoeMaverickSett> tas: oh, then you should ask the 1st question again. i'm abit noob on those matter. but i'll try to find a solution. :)
[11:51] <Aemaeth> tas, how do you know it's on?
[11:51] <tas> JoeMaverickSett, My bluetooth, won't work, (when I click right click on the icon in tray) it says "turn off bluetooth"
[11:52] <piousminion2> How do I get my IM in empathy to pop up instead of just seeing a green mail icon on the top panel?
[11:52] <tas> JoeMaverickSett, Aemaeth, when I open preferences then I get a big button telling me TURN ON BLUETOOTH.
[11:52] <Aemaeth> hey, tas, idk if this will help, but you could try blueman  i think it's just sudo apt-get install blueman
[11:53] <tas> Aemaeth ok let me try.
[11:53] <JoeMaverickSett> tas: i was talking about win7. when you shut down did you turn off the driver? no?
[11:53] <JoeMaverickSett> tas: or your issue is not regarding to that.
[11:53] <philip__> Anyone can help me with the case that when i install ubuntu 10.10 with the nvidia drivers from ubuntu repo and i install virtualbox. when i start virtualbox the x server reboots.
[11:54] <tas> JoeMaverickSett, bluetooth is ON in windows7
[11:54] <JoeMaverickSett> tas: oh, okie.

[11:57] <pie_time> does anyone know any torrent programs that can be configured to dynamically limit your upload speed?
[11:57] <tas> Aemaeth, JoeMaverickSett thanks anyways :)
[11:57] <nebula> Aemaeth,  "Desktop effects could not be enabled"
[11:58] <Aemaeth> all effects?
[11:58] <ajsie> how do you simulate the UP key in the command line?
[11:58] <seidos> nebula, does glxgears run?
[11:59] <venilsurya> Hey, I'm trying to install xautoclick
[11:59] <philip__> Really no one knows why virtualbox crashes the x server in combination with the closed source nvidia driver ?
[11:59] <venilsurya> I'm getting errors.
[11:59] <venilsurya> Can anyone help?
[11:59] <cixa> what portable media players are compatible with ubuntu?
[11:59] <zonyl> nebula: What vid card do you have now?
[12:00] <seidos> cixa, depends what you mean by 'compatible'.  i hear the devices that act like simple massage storage devices work best.
[12:00] <piousminion2> How do I get my IMs in empathy to pop up on the screen instead of them just changing the email icon on the top panel from white to green?
[12:00] <Guest48520> @philip__ : I have seen this also. Try VBoxSDL to start the VM, this fixed it for me
[12:00] <venilsurya> Can someone help me with installing xautoclick?
[12:01] <philip__> i am going to try that. tnx Guest48520
[12:01] <Aemaeth> seidos, haha, yeah, screw itunes when i can just use it like a flash stick
[12:01] <nebula> seidos,  zonyl  >>> compiz after update to latest version just shown me that
[12:01] <nebula> "Desktop effects could not be enabled"
[12:01] <nebula>  my video card 6600 geforce   and at 10:04 he had a gun
[12:01] <LeoP> #phalanger
[12:02] <cixa> seidos: do you have any recommendations?
[12:02] <seidos> Aemaeth, i actually like file systems...they do a good job of organizing stuff :)
[12:03] <zonyl> nebula: I had an issue during upgrade where the old nvidia driver from 10.04 got in the way.  I removed nvidia-current and selected x-servers-all to be re-installed
[12:03] <nebula> seidos,  glxgears  work !
[12:03] <seidos> cixa, uh, well...uh.  no, i don't own a massage storage device music player that doesn't work best with itunes, unfortunately.
[12:03] <nebula> zonyl,  ok !
[12:03] <zonyl> zonyl: problem manifested the same way you are describing. Ill bet if you look at the xorg log you will see it complain about GLX
[12:03] <xiaolu> da
[12:04] <seidos> is pricegrabber.com still a good site to check for prices?
[12:04] <jrib> !ot | seidos
[12:04] <SaRy> piousminion2, !see bug 449260
[12:05] <piousminion2> I swear none of the messages in this channel have anything to do with one another. It's like 200 bots just googling for "ubuntu" and posting a random quote from the results. lol
[12:05] <seidos> ah, well, it was for cixa.
[12:05] <SaRy> !tap
[12:05] <seidos> cixa, you can try browsing pricegrabber.com's selection.  someone mentioned a version they bought that they liked, but i don't recall the make and model.
[12:06] <ajsie> how do i use the "history" command to fire the latest command?
[12:06] <piousminion2> The lack of response proves my point better than I could have imagined. rofl   Later ubuntards.
[12:07] <jrib> piousminion2: this is not the way to get support...
[12:07] <jrib> !guidelines > piousminion2
[12:07] <piousminion2> Who said I needed support?
[12:07] <peto_> hello/
[12:07] <Aemaeth> piousminion2, you can buy support at ...
[12:07] <jrib> piousminion2: this channel in *only* for ubuntu support.  If that's not what you are looking for, then you are in the wrong channel
[12:08] <peto_> what is better to tint screen redish at night: f.lux or RedShift?
[12:08] <seidos> cixa, i think you want one with "flash memory".  i'm not sure if there is a hard drive version available that asks as a simple mass storage device
[12:08] <SaRy> lol .. i don't see anyone getting paid here, it's all Volunteers baby :D
[12:08] <Aemaeth> i was mocking google ads
[12:08] <bazhang> SaRy, stay on topic please
[12:08] <Aemaeth> you can buy ANYTHING ON EBAY apparently
[12:09] <peto_> what is better to tint screen redish at night: f.lux or RedShift?  Or perhaps other?  I'm having problems installing them in 10.10
[12:09] <SaRy> bazhang, sure.
[12:09] <piousminion2> jrib: It's also for trolling ubuntards, but that's a story for another day.  I'm having an issue with empathy and for some reason I assumed such an easy answer would be readily answered.  I suppose I was wrong.
[12:09] <Kaoruchan> its been 4hrs.. upgrading my 10.04 to 10.10
[12:10] <jrib> piousminion2: read the guidelines ubottu sent you
[12:10] <Aemaeth> Kaoruchan, you won't be happy when it fails :(
[12:10] <cnwesleywang> Can anybody help me to install ubuntu 10.04.1 to an IBM x3850 m2?
[12:10] <ubuntu> .hjli
[12:10] <Kaoruchan> Aenaeth:why? :O
[12:11] <ubuntu> ,läläkl
[12:11] <piousminion2> jrib: I was good all the way up to "don't be annoying", damn.  lol
[12:11] <jrib> ubuntu: stop please
[12:11] <ubuntu> ml
[12:11] <jrib> piousminion2: yeah, that's an important one for you to note...
[12:11] <sniperjo> has anyone here got any experience with MANET / mesh networks ?
[12:11] <jrib> sniperjo: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[12:12] <i2v8an> hi, does anyone know where I can find documentation for keyboard shortcuts in the unity shell?
[12:12] <ubuntu> mm,ö,ö
[12:12] <tgywa> How can I make a custom PHP 5.2. package on Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[12:12] <cnwesleywang> I try to instal amd64bit version on x3850 but is says no hard disk detected.
[12:12] <Kaoruchan> ubuntu: hahaha
[12:12] <piousminion2> Does anyone know how to get IMs in empathy to pop up on the screen instead of them just changing the email icon on the top panel from white to green?
[12:12] <jrib> tgywa: why?
[12:12] <sniperjo> jrib: ok, but its not exactly a widly known topic
[12:13] <jrib> sniperjo: do you just care that people know something about it or are you going to ask the person that says "yes" a new question?  If you just ask your question to begin with, everyone wins
[12:13] <piousminion2> sniperjo: Is it specific to ubuntu?
[12:13] <cnwesleywang> Should I pay for this
[12:14] <sniperjo> piousminion2: it is at the moment
[12:14] <tgywa> jrib, I have web customer using both(PHP 5.2 & PHP 5.3).
[12:15] <jrib> tgywa: I don't know the best way to have multiple versions of php
[12:15] <WXZ> I've got gnome-core
[12:16] <WXZ> how do I make it look pretty though?
[12:16] <tgywa> jrib, if I can make a package ... first .. then I will choose ...
[12:17] <piousminion2> Why is it recent versions of ubuntu try so hard to look like MacOSX?
[12:17] <jrib> tgywa: you can make a package, but that probably won't help you run both versions simeltaneously
[12:17] <jrib> piousminion2: stick to support please
[12:17] <StuckMojo> ok, so is maverick released or not?
[12:17] <bazhang> piousminion2, #ubuntu-offtopic please
[12:17] <jrib> StuckMojo: yes
[12:17] <bazhang> StuckMojo, yes
[12:17] <StuckMojo> on the release notes page it says beta
[12:18] <tgywa> jrib ... don't worry about that ... at them moment I am running both using fcgid .. the question now is how to make a package ...
[12:18] <StuckMojo> and update-manager gives this: This is still a RELEASE-CANDIDATE release.
[12:18] <jrib> !packaging > tgywa
[12:18] <piousminion2> I am sticking to support.  I'm a user and I'd like to know why ubuntu is the way it is.  Will you not support an ubuntu user in this?
[12:18] <jrib> tgywa: but packages already exist
[12:18] <jrib> !source > tgywa
[12:18] <StuckMojo> so these are just oversights? it's no longer beta or RC ?
[12:18] <bazhang> piousminion2, its chat. and opinion. this is not the channel for it
[12:18] <jrib> piousminion2: you're getting close to the line... in case you were wondering
[12:18] <Aemaeth> piousminion2, not when youre more curious bout osx
[12:19] <piousminion2> I don't care about OSX, I'm just curious why all the stock gnome defaults have been changed to match it.
[12:19] <jrib> piousminion2: it's not on-topic here.  Move on.
[12:19] <Aemaeth> can make it anything you want and you have complaints, have fun being stuck with limits in your system
[12:20] <minimec> piousminion2: The other way people would say 'Why Linux is still looking as WinXP'? This is a choice of the Window-Manager you use. Gnome would more be MacOS like, KDE would more be like the Windows family.
[12:20] <piousminion2> jrib: You said support is on-topic.  I'm not debating or berating, but inquiring.  That is most certainly support relayed.
[12:20] <jrib> piousminion2: it's not, we just told you it's not support.
[12:20] <Flynsarmy> In maverick bookmarked FTP urls open in FF instead of nautilus. how do i fix?
[12:21] <piousminion2> minimec: I bed to differ. Linux is a kernel and it looks nothing like XP's kernel.
[12:21] <minimec> piousminion2: That's what we are talking about. Window Managers,not kernels... ;)
[12:21] <StuckMojo> gnome is mac os like?
[12:21] <StuckMojo> since when?
[12:22] <Aemaeth> StuckMojo, i'm in the same boat
[12:22] <StuckMojo> looks just as much like windows as kde as far as im concerned
[12:22] <bazhang> Aemaeth, StuckMojo #ubuntu-offtopic please
[12:22] <StuckMojo> openbox/fluxbox/blackbox those look different
[12:22] <Aemaeth> does mac have more than that dock? i heard they took away taskbars in the last feature
[12:23] <Flynsarmy> Are FTP bookmarks under the 'Places' menu opening in the browser instead of nautilus in maverick for anyone else? Or anyone even able to confirm that its NOT for them?
[12:23] <StuckMojo> bazhang: ok, real question then: this is wrong, yes? "= Welcome to the Ubuntu 'Maverick Meerkat' development release =" and "This is still a RELEASE-CANDIDATE release."
[12:23] <bazhang> StuckMojo, check www.ubuntu.com
[12:24] <StuckMojo> bazhang: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes
[12:24] <StuckMojo> The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 10.10 beta featuring ....
[12:25] <StuckMojo> note the "beta" there
[12:25] <bazhang> StuckMojo, not updated then. its final

[12:25] <elyob> Hi, have a device plugged into /dev/ttyUSB0 which I have to quite often remove and reinsert due to an overflow (am reading via head command).  Is there any way I can emulate this reinsert via command line?
[12:25] <StuckMojo> ok just making sure. one occurance is easy to ignore. two different places made me wonder
[12:26] <elyob> Any suggestions on how to diagnose a head command overflow on a USB Serial device read (/dev/ttyUSB0) .. ta
[12:26] <Pr3nt1c3> I've noticed the clock in the panel, when I add other timezones... pop's out to the top of the screen, hence fails in allowing me to view other timezones, or edit new timezones
[12:27] <Pr3nt1c3> how do I re-attatch the clock to the pane???
[12:27] <Pr3nt1c3> panel even???
[12:27] <Flynsarmy> Pr3nt1c3: right click on the panel - add to panel - clock
[12:28] <Pr3nt1c3> the clock is already there
[12:28] <Pr3nt1c3> it's how it responds to 'adding new timezones / locations'
[12:28] <andyvy> Pr3nt1c3: it adds a new clock to your desktop?
[12:28] <tgywa> jrib, so can't I a custom package?
[12:28] <StuckMojo> "No longer supported by Canonical" means exactly that, right? said packages are still in ubuntu?
[12:28] <jrib> tgywa: you can...
[12:28] <Spider_Fred> hi I installed awesome but when I run it, I use really to much pcu, whats wrong?
[12:28] <Flynsarmy> Are FTP bookmarks under the 'Places' menu opening in the browser instead of nautilus in maverick for anyone else? Or anyone even able to confirm that its NOT for them?
[12:28] <augustl> there's a file I can delete to reset what Ubunu know about the network/hardware it's on. Where is that file? I can't remember..
[12:28] <StuckMojo> or does it mean they've been dropped from the distro altogether in the new version?
[12:29] <bazhang> StuckMojo, in the notes?
[12:29] <tgywa> jrib, how can I make?
[12:29] <StuckMojo> bazhang: in the "Do you want to start the upgrade"
[12:29] <Pr3nt1c3> I just removed, and re-added it... it still jumps up at least 300px from panel, instead of attatching to panel
[12:29] <jrib> tgywa: read the documentation ubottu sent you
[12:29] <Pr3nt1c3> how do I fix this?
[12:29] <tgywa> jrib, how can I make? a package from a compiled and working PHP 5.2?
[12:29] <StuckMojo> it lists that, and packages that'll be removed, and upgraded, etc.
[12:29] <Pr3nt1c3> when I click on the 'clock' that is
[12:30] <jrib> tgywa: but like I said, these packages already exist, just modify one of them
[12:30] <bazhang> StuckMojo, got  an example?
[12:30] <teacher_> hiii
[12:30] <StuckMojo> Flynsarmy: i think you just have to go into your preferences and look at the "preferred applications"
[12:30] <teacher_> hii
[12:30] <StuckMojo> bazhang: f-spot
[12:30] <kai696> Hey there, trying to get sudo apt-get install ms-sys but it cannot find it ?
[12:30] <StuckMojo> bazhang: traceroute
[12:30] <bazhang> StuckMojo, yeah, replaced by shotwell
[12:30] <Pr3nt1c3> it's very weird
[12:30] <kai696> live-cd mount ubuntu 8,04 (hardy heron) ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ms-sys

[12:30] <FloodBot3> kai696: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:31] <StuckMojo> bazhang: gone from the distro, or just not installed by default and supported by canonical?
[12:31] <Pr3nt1c3> it used to pop-up directly from panel, not detached
[12:31] <augustl> fount the file. /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[12:31] <gauravbutola> .
[12:31] <StuckMojo> bazhang: duh. i can answer this myself
[12:31] <Flynsarmy> StuckMojo: system - prefs - preferred applications. There's none for FTP in there
[12:31] <StuckMojo> bazhang: by searching packages.ubuntu.com
[12:31] <bazhang> kai696, thats a windows file
[12:31] <StuckMojo> bazhang: sorry
[12:31] <FloodBot3> StuckMojo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:31] <bazhang> kai696, what are you trying to do
[12:31] <fake51> hiya, having a problem with Thunderbird in Ubuntu, wondering if anyone's come across it. Basically, the popups on new email don't correctly report what I receive, it just reports unread email from one inbox, not from any other accounts
[12:32] <kai696> reinstall windows MBR from livecd
[12:32] <bazhang> aha
[12:32] <kai696> @ bazhang
[12:32] <bazhang> !info mbr | kai696
[12:32] <cixa> what portable music players do you guys use?
[12:32] <StuckMojo> bazhang: ah yes, it's still there, just now it's in universe where before it was in main
[12:33] <bazhang> cixa, related to ubuntu? or just chatting
[12:33] <StaRetji> Is someone familiar with this error at boot:
[12:33] <StaRetji> error: out of memory grub rescue>
[12:33] <minimec> cixa: Archos 3 Vision. Painless in combination with ubuntu
[12:33] <StuckMojo> cixa: iphone. i suffer through having win7 in virtualbox for itunes
[12:34] <Pr3nt1c3> so, anyone got a fix for the clock-panel applet? I want it to remain attached to panel.
[12:34] <kai696> Anyone know why Gparted would hit an error expanding a volume ? saying to check filesystem
[12:34] <StaRetji> I'm stuck folks, please help
[12:34] <cixa> bazhang: yes of course related, i assume everyone here runs ubuntu and hence can recommend some suitable portable music players
[12:34] <StuckMojo> kai696: bad disk?
[12:35] <andyvy> Pr3nt1c3: only thing i would suggest is downloading ubuntu tweak, there's an option to do complete lockdown of all panels, and then try to add your new timezones to the clock, see if that keeps it intact
[12:35] <StuckMojo> kai696: if it tells you to check it, you should
[12:35] <kai696> StuckMojo, shouldn't be ? works fine when it starts lol
[12:35] <kai696> StuckMojo, how ?
[12:35] <bazhang> cixa, newer iPods may need virtual machine to sync
[12:35] <StuckMojo> kai696: fsck or whatever, depending on the filesystem on it

[12:35] <bazhang> cixa, many others have a use at usb storage device facility that makes it very easy to sync

[12:36] <kai696> command not found StuckMojo, can't access the disc (since no MBR) running 8.04 HH ubuntu liveCD
[12:36] <andyvy> cixa: i use a basic 60gb ipod with gtkpod to sync files
[12:36] <StuckMojo> kai696: that's a windows command
[12:37] <StuckMojo> kai696: since it's a window FS
[12:37] <kai696> StuckMojo, i know, figured it wouldn't work here, is there a ubuntu equalivent?
[12:37] <Pr3nt1c3> the only 'tweak' in the repo's is "an efficient hex editor"
[12:37] <kai696> fsck didn't work, gave me a notice may cause irreputiable dmg
[12:37] <StuckMojo> kai696: i sincerly doubt it
[12:37] <bazhang> Pr3nt1c3, its an unsupported app. use at your own risk.
[12:37] <Pr3nt1c3> darn
[12:38] <Pr3nt1c3> thanks for the advice bazhang
[12:38] <StuckMojo> kai696: ntfs is a closed filesystem. MS doesn't distribute the format
[12:38] <StuckMojo> so it's hard to write an fs check for it

[12:39] <DaveWM> is there some part of the file system that i can write to that's actually in memory instead of on the disk ?  i'm doing something where i don't wanna create a lot of disk activity

[12:39] <Black_Prince> Hello, how can I boot Live CD Image via currently installed GRUB?
[12:39] <StuckMojo> DaveWM: yeah usually
[12:39] <DaveWM> StuckMojo:  lol where would that be ?
[12:39] <bazhang> Black_Prince, grub2? boot iso from hdd?
[12:40] <Black_Prince> bazhang yes
[12:40] <StaRetji> Is someone willing to help me with boot error: out of memory grub rescue>
[12:40] <StaRetji> I've updated grub following http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide but this is the error I get. Is there I can do on grub rescue> prompt? Any help would be highly appreciated
[12:40] <StuckMojo> DaveWM: df -h  and look for i think /dev/shm
[12:40] <StuckMojo> but it depends on the distro
[12:40] <StuckMojo> although i suppose you're asking about ubuntu, given the channel ;)
[12:40] <MiK__> hey guys! Got a problem! want to buy a zotac ion itx d-e and i don't know what ram will fit...
[12:41] <DaveWM> thanks StuckMojo

[12:42] <Black_Prince> Thank you bazhang
[12:42] <rek> hi bluetooth is no longer working since 8.04  do something to fix this!!
[12:42] <DaveWM> StuckMojo: yea,  /dev/shm was what i was looking for
[12:43] <StuckMojo> DaveWM: i think /var/run and all the others that show up as "none" for the Filesystem are actually ramdisks
[12:44] <of2vil> hello, has someone here configured an xbox to connect over the internet through a linux computer? (xbox -> linux computer -> internet)
[12:44] <StuckMojo> of2vil: i've done it with a ps3
[12:44] <StuckMojo> of2vil: just install squid, then set the http proxy settings to use the linux box
[12:44] <StuckMojo> of2vil: or do you mean *all* network traffic?
[12:44] <jtao> what
[12:44] <jtao> what
[12:45] <of2vil> StuckMojo: yes, i want to use xbox live etc on the xbox (i dont know the details that it needs) but i played around with iptables a bit but came to no result
[12:45] <StuckMojo> of2vil: well, you need to set up linux as a router/nat
[12:45] <laza> hi
[12:45] <StuckMojo> of2vil: and have 2 nics in it
[12:46] <StuckMojo> there's a nat howto
[12:46] <laza> i want to install ubuntu on my lenovo t61p, shoud i get the netbook, or the desktop edition?
[12:46] <of2vil> i have two nics - i am connected from the computer to the router via wlan and the xbox is connected to the ethernet port
[12:46] <laza> it's a laptop
[12:46] <StuckMojo> of2vil: http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/nat.html
[12:47] <of2vil> StuckMojo: thanks i will check it out
[12:47] <JoeMaverickSett> laza: desktop edition.

[12:47] <enkidu> hello, is anyone playing around with builtin xD card readers support?
[12:47] <of2vil> StuckMojo: no i didnt
[12:48] <StuckMojo> of2vil: did you do all 4 things that are listed there?
[12:48] <of2vil> i found two tutorials for that scenario on the web but none of them worked out
[12:48] <shekar> hello hi i downloded octanerender demo how do i compile it
[12:48] <of2vil> i had much more complex iptable commands :D
[12:49] <StuckMojo> of2vil: that example assumes eth0 is your internet interface, and eth1 is your internal
[12:49] <StuckMojo> of2vil: oh. well it really is as easy as that shows
[12:49] <bazhang> !compile > shekar
[12:49] <sangeeth> I have connected myself to a WIFI connection which gives Internet service through Proxy setting.... So, i can't use my internet through terminal for SUDO APT-GET UPDATE... Please help...
[12:49] <StuckMojo> of2vil: in your case, wlan0 is your internet, and eth0 is your internal network (probably)
[12:50] <shekar> hi bazhang yes
[12:50] <laza> bye
[12:50] <shekar> ubottu how do i see your private message :)
[12:50] <of2vil> StuckMojo: i guess the other way round "/dev/eth1, to your external network on /dev/eth0" so eth0 would be my wlan0 and eth1 would be my eth0
[12:51] <StuckMojo> yes
[12:51] <StuckMojo> since wlan0 connects to your router
[12:51] <sangeeth> ANYBODY HELP PLEASE....
[12:51] <gucki> aynone knows which package contains the /etc/initramfs-tools or how i can find out?
[12:52] <of2vil> StuckMojo: ok, i updated my script - be right back
[12:52] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: you can tell apt to use a proxy
[12:52] <gucki> i need to reinstall these....
[12:52] <llutz> gucki: initramfs-tools   (use apt-file)
[12:52] <StuckMojo> of2vil: you don't need to reboot or anything
[12:52] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: it's just an environment var
[12:52] <sangeeth> StuckMojo: HOW???
[12:53] <llutz> !caps| sangeeth
[12:53] <sangeeth> ubottu: Sorry :D
[12:53] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: GIYF: http://blogs.sun.com/venky/entry/using_apt_get_with_a
[12:54] <gucki> llutz: cool, tnx :_)
[12:54] <sangeeth> StuckMojo: Thanks.... :)
[12:54] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: there's an easier way though. with just an env var, IIRC
[12:55] <burg> hello.i am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on asus x50gl notebook (nvidia geforce 8200, 3gb ram ddr2, core2duo t5800 2ghz), but after the progress bar, it freezes (i can only move mouse, can`t click on icons from topbar) and can`t do anything else. is there any known bug with my motherboard?
[12:56] <of2vil> StuckMojo: do i have to assign an manual ip/etc on my console? because it failed because it couldnt get an ip address
[12:56] <kai696> How do I force mount a parition?
[12:56] <StuckMojo> of2vil: oh yeah, you'll also need a dhcp server
[12:56] <enkidu> burg: seems like broken setup image?
[12:57] <StuckMojo> of2vil: well, actually you won't
[12:57] <StuckMojo> of2vil: you can manually assign ips
[12:57] <rusty149> a
[12:57] <StuckMojo> of2vil: what's the ip of eth0?
[12:57] <StuckMojo> does it have one?
[12:57] <of2vil> StuckMojo: at the moment: 192.168.44.2 (from a previous tutorial that didnt worked)
[12:57] <burg> enkidu, it was a problem with ubuntu 8.x and my chipset, but 9.04 and 9.10 worked fine, no problems
[12:58] <StuckMojo> of2vil: ok, what's the netmask?
[12:58] <of2vil> StuckMojo: 255.255.255.0
[12:58] <StuckMojo> k, then just manually assign the xbox 192.168.44.anythign-except-2
[12:58] <StuckMojo> and use the same netmask
[12:59] <of2vil> ok, i will give it a shot
[12:59] <StuckMojo> might have to manually assing DNS servers too
[12:59] <kai696> StuckMojo got a comment? Situation turned from bad to worst :|
[13:00] <kai696> some reason my /dev/sda1 is reading as EXT3 but I only extended the volume (NTFS) and it changed the format  ?? now I can't mount it because of an error I'm receiving
[13:00] <stercor> I bricked my netbook upgrading to Maverick.  After the download and install (I went to bed), there was a screen with a red square near the upper-right corner.  I inadvertently left that screen while moving the netbook.  Now it won't boot (well, I can get to recovery mode on an earlier kernel.)
[13:00] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: you can just do: export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/
[13:00] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: that overrides what's in the config file anyway

[13:01] <kai696> very
[13:01] <Zonetti> acer_, update-manager -d
[13:01] <StuckMojo> kai696: you could manually reassign the partition type back to ntfs
[13:01] <kai696> Know how > point me in the right direction ?
[13:01] <acer_> Zonetti, just update manager won't do that?
[13:01] <StuckMojo> kai696: fdisk
[13:02] <Zonetti> acer_, I guess not =/

[13:03] <rapha> Gnea: kai696: found out how to enter Arabic now. Just wanted to give word about #ubuntu-arabic that that's basically a dead channel, so it might be necessary to check if there's somebody there before sending people over to it. The one name you see in there looks like a bot.
[13:03] <of2vil> StuckMojo: didnt help either - in addition i had to set the gateway ( i set it to 192.168.44.255 (thats the bcast of eth0))
[13:03] <acer_> helloWorld_890, try #eclipse
[13:03] <helloWorld_890> ok
[13:04] <StuckMojo> of2vil: no, gateway should be .2
[13:04] <StuckMojo> of2vil: sorry, forgot that
[13:04] <of2vil> ah that makes sense - brb
[13:04] <kai696> rapha Sorry, we really don't have time to check all the channels, google surfing is your best bet, depending on what you actually want to do.. otherwise please state your problem more percisely
[13:04] <StuckMojo> works with .255 because bcast sends to every address on the subnet, thus it gets to .2
[13:05] <rapha> kai696: My problem is solved. I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up about the state of the #ubuntu-arabic channel.
[13:05] <kai696> Okay, thank you.
[13:05] <sangeeth> Does anyone know about any ongoing project on Linux, that a novice to kernel, but a good C Programmer could participate...
[13:06] <rusty149> sangeeth: VLC
[13:06] <StuckMojo> kai696: m for help
[13:06] <sangeeth> rusty149: What's VLC?
[13:06] <StuckMojo> kai696: then l (and note which one is NTFS)

[13:07] <kai696> no, it shouldn't be Dynamic, last Windows boot successfully stated it was basic
[13:07] <StuckMojo> kai696: what's p say?
[13:08] <rusty149> sangeeth: really good program but in need of developers
[13:08] <StuckMojo> kai696: one partition, 500G?

[13:08] <sangeeth> rusty149: Are you in it?..
[13:08] <kai696> sorry
[13:08] <StuckMojo> of2vil: it's probably your router
[13:08] <StuckMojo> kai696: sda1 is already ntfs
[13:08] <of2vil> StuckMojo: its 192.168.88.2 (so its 88 and not 44 as my eth and xbox)
[13:08] <kai696> aye, but in Gparted it's showing Ext3
[13:09] <kai696> and i can't mount that volume because it says it can't find an NTFS @ stuckmojo
[13:09] <of2vil> StuckMojo: does that work anyway :?
[13:09] <Aemaeth> my webcam turn on after suspend, it's kind of freaking me out, i'm on an asus laptop, so i can't disconnect it manually...i dont know any cli for the webcam device/usb?
[13:09] <StuckMojo> of2vil: if linux is resolving dns ok, then that address is a good dns server to use
[13:10] <StuckMojo> of2vil: it's probably the internal address of your router
[13:10] <of2vil> yes it is the ip of the router
[13:10] <StuckMojo> of2vil: that's the one to use then
[13:11] <kai696> Stuckmojo: Just need to access it to back up some of my data then i can do a clean wipe of the drive
[13:12] <StuckMojo> kai696: have you tried sticking it in another windows box?
[13:12] <kai696> none available :(
[13:12] <kaco> hmm?
[13:12] <StuckMojo> kai696: it may already be shot you know
[13:12] <StuckMojo> kai696: i.e. you may be shit out of luck
[13:13] <rusty149> kai696: get Gparted to check it and if it does not work use windows install disc to fix it
[13:13] <StuckMojo> IIRC doesn't gparted splash a big giant message that says "BACK UP YOUR DATA!!!" before it lets you resize?
[13:13] <Segaja> hi. i just updated to 10.10 and now fbpanel is not working as i want it to and as it did before. now fbpanel is only visible on the first desktop and not an all of them..
[13:13] <sangeeth> Sorry, your second way seems to be not totally functional, but the first works...
[13:14] <kai696> rusty149: if I ahd windows install disc I wouldn't be having this problem mate; StuckMojo disc SHOULD be fine it was running perfectly earlier until i deleted the ubuntu partiton from windows management (Which had GRUB, stupid me), so I boot to live disk and won't mount.
[13:14] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: second way works too, but you have to do it in every login session you want to use apt in
[13:14] <Aemaeth> StuckMojo, hmm, i forget, been a while, but IIRCAW they stopped that a couple years ago
[13:14] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: the first way is more permanent
[13:14] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:14] <llutz> StuckMojo: it hasn't "brain-1.0-user0" as depend/recommend :(
[13:14] <sangeeth> StuckMojo: One more question... Should the Username Pwd be given only to http or also to https and ftp
[13:14] <StuckMojo> kai696: wait, you just want to get grub back onto it?
[13:15] <of2vil> StuckMojo: fyeah :) it works, it can connect, but is complaining about a "moderate" nat type
[13:15] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: that depends on your proxy server
[13:15] <kai696> StuckMojo, no, I just need to force mount the partition so i can back up to my external drive then i can wipe the drive clean
[13:15] <kai696> Query (PM) shows my error from terminal
[13:15] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: if you need it to use a browser to go to https, then you need it here too
[13:16] <sangeeth> StuckMojo: You are AWESOME!!!
[13:16] <StuckMojo> sangeeth: shut up baby i know it
[13:16] <sangeeth> :D
[13:17] <Odd-rationale> Hello! Is there a graphical (non-terminal) way to do "sudo ./script"? Thanks!
[13:17] <StuckMojo> kai696: you could try using vmware or some such...load windows there and give it access to the raw disk
[13:17] <StuckMojo> kai696: then see if windoze can mount it
[13:17] <rusty149> kai696: I am following now. Sounds like you have deleted your ubuntu partition. Then the only way to recover data is to use rescue a program
[13:17] <of2vil> StuckMojo: is it possible that i have to open some special ports (i guess i dont)
[13:17] <llutz> Odd-rationale: gksudo
[13:17] <StuckMojo> of2vil: no, the way you've set it up it should forward everything
[13:17] <Odd-rationale> llutz: i mean like from the file manager?
[13:18] <StuckMojo> of2vil: you did the realated,established bit?
[13:18] <kai696> rusty149, it's not. If I can force moutn the partition I canpull the files off of it, however gparted shows EXT3 whereas fdisk shows NTFS... it's really strange
[13:18] <StuckMojo> of2vil: it's probably got to do with the fact that you're going through *2* nats
[13:18] <StuckMojo> of2vil: one for the router, one for linux
[13:18] <of2vil> StuckMojo: maybe i have to open them on my router
[13:18] <StuckMojo> of2vil: it's a nat of a nat
[13:18] <jianfei> yeh
[13:18] <StuckMojo> of2vil: that would be the spot
[13:18] <StuckMojo> of2vil: or you might have to forward them in linux
[13:19] <of2vil> StuckMojo: but it worked a few weeks ago where i connected the xbox directly to the router (maybe upnp (i think this is how its called)) does not work through the routed linux
[13:19] <kai696> Rusty149 check PM please.
[13:19] <tms2> Anyone familiar with Acer laptops and wireless issues?
[13:19] <StuckMojo> of2vil: that was only one nat
[13:19] <StuckMojo> of2vil: do you know what nat is?
[13:19] <llutz> kai696: fdisk shows the partition-id, that must not  be the filesystem used
[13:19] <kai696> StuckMojo i don't have an image/disk of windows to run on VMware
[13:19] <BluesKaj> kai696, or you could use gparted live cd to activate the partition , since windows probly deleted it
[13:19] <StuckMojo> kai696: thepiratebay.org
[13:19] <of2vil> StuckMojo: network address translation

[13:20] <BluesKaj> kai696, in other word your install is there, windows just doesn't see it
[13:21] <franky_> u-es
[13:21] <kai696> BluesKaj I don't know what you mean? I'm not on windows, and the filetype won't matter
[13:21] <StuckMojo> BluesKaj: he's trying to mount the nfts partition in ubuntu
[13:21] <of2vil> StuckMojo: http://pastie.org/private/6dm8rhwlmybzadccihwwbg maybe i need those rules (i found them in an tutorial that didnt worked)
[13:21] <StuckMojo> BluesKaj: his former windows drive i guess
[13:21] <kaco> afternoon
[13:22] <kai696> Stuckmojo: correct
[13:22] <BluesKaj> kai696, in the terminal sudo fdisk -l , pastebin the output pls

[13:27] <Exile> hey guys, I've got a bit of a problem. I've upgraded to 10.10 from 10.04 and my graphics drivers are all screwed up. I've got an nvidia card and the restricted drivers are saying I have something called nvidia_current installed?!? Also when I go into nvidia x server settings it says 'you do not appear to be using the nvidia driver' and I have a blank xorg.conf file?!? does anyone have any idea how I could fix this?

[13:34] <ghosTM55> any help ?  thx
[13:35] <rusty149> kai696: sudo mount -o force /dev/sda1 /mnt
[13:35] <rusty149> kai696: the previous mount command was wrong
[13:35] <iceroot> ghosTM55: have a look at the manual, there is a command to build the kernel-modul, but normally the modul comes when you install it with apt-get

[13:36] <gucki> when i try to remove evolution, it tells me that also ubuntu-desktop etc. will get removed. is this ok?
[13:36] <nitrogenycs> StuckMojo: The only option is downgrading my libc6 and libc6-bin packages. Is this a good idea?
[13:36] <Tarantulafudge> gucki, you will lose your desktop
[13:36] <kai696> http://pastebin.com/H1cBjL5w
[13:37] <iceroot> Tarantulafudge: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package
[13:37] <gucki> iceroot: so it's safe to proceed?
[13:37] <kai696> what if i try to unmount THEN remount ? just incase
[13:37] <StuckMojo> nitrogenycs: doesn't look like much of a difference
[13:37] <Tarantulafudge> iceroot, sorry used to aptitude
[13:37] <rusty149> kai696: unmount in gparted (if possible) and close gparted
[13:37] <Provance> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu for the first time, looks GREAT but I can't get the internet to wrok, my comp. uses an Wirless Adapter (Actiontec USB 802.11b) I downloaded linux-wlan-ng is that right for me and how do I set it up??
[13:37] <rusty149> kai696: re run command
[13:38] <iceroot> gucki: its not a good idea to remove the meta-package because of updates in the future
[13:38] <StuckMojo> nitrogenycs: i wouldn't think it would matter
[13:38] <kai696> negative, won't let me unmount from gparted
[13:38] <StuckMojo> nitrogenycs: check the changelog to see what changed from 7.2 to 7.3
[13:38] <kalinka> hi, I have a problem with nautilus search
[13:38] <sipior> kai696: try using lsof to see what's holding the partition open.
[13:38] <StuckMojo> nitrogenycs: vi /usr/share/doc/libc6/changelog.Debian.gz
[13:38] <kalinka> the search tool always search the home folder and there is no way to change that
[13:39] <kai696> sipior : everything
[13:39] <rusty149> kai696: sudo umount /dev/sda1  and  close naytilus or anything else that may be accessing it
[13:39] <gucki> iceroot: hm, but ubuntu-desktop install a lot of things (like evoltion) i dont want..
[13:40] <sipior> kai696: it's obviously not everything. find out which processes, and then kill them.
[13:40] <kai696> http://pastebin.com/VxyMtLSi
[13:40] <nitrogenycs> StuckMojo: Ok, I am just starting linux again. I remember when I upgraded my glibc like 7 or 8 years ago and the system was just pieces afterwards :) The changelog looks fine, just some minor assertion fixed.
[13:40] <iceroot> gucki: then you have to install gnome by hand with the components you want without using the meta-package
[13:40] <kai696> says its not mounted
[13:40] <StuckMojo> nitrogenycs: yeah, so it shouldn't matter
[13:41] <Provance> I need to install the driver for my wireless adapter (Actiontec USB 802.11b) I found linux-wlan-ng but I don't know if it supports my model, and don't know how to set it up any help?
[13:41] <kai696> Sipior that was ALL that I could copy over
[13:42] <nitrogenycs> StuckMojo: Thanks a lot, all seems to work now :)
[13:42] <sipior> kai696: i don't see the problem. you have the process IDs, what's keeping you from killing them?
[13:42] <StuckMojo> nitrogenycs: np
[13:43] <ohir> :)
[13:43] <kai696> sipior, don't know how to on linux, and i don't know how to read that output
[13:44] <nikola> how do i do ls -l screen by screen if output is too long
[13:44] <BluesKaj> Provance, dunno about the linux-wlan-ng , it's quite an old project
[13:44] <sipior> kai696: ah, now we're getting somewhere. the process id is the second column. killing processes is done with "kill <pid>". alternatively, you can use pkill, if you like.
[13:44] <rusty149> kai696: sudo killall firefox
[13:44] <Guest78378> i downloaded IceCast 2 by Synaptic. where i can  find it?
[13:44] <Provance> @Blueskaj: Is there an alternative?
[13:44] <Guest78378> how run this?
[13:45] <kai696> rusty149 why would firefox cause sda1 to not mount ??
[13:45] <BluesKaj> Provance, which wifi chip ?
[13:45] <nikola> Guest73192, open ubuntu software center, type icecast in find, and then more info
[13:45] <Provance> It's a USB wireless adapter
[13:45] <kai696> sipior, but which processes would I kill to make the volume mount ?
[13:46] <peto_> what program is better to tint the screen reddish at night?  F.Lux, RedShift?  Or perhaps other?  I'm having problems installing them in Ubuntu 10.10
[13:46] <ter0> ubuntu is awesome.. time to delete my windows7 partition :)
[13:46] <rusty149> kai696: just kill all proceses you are not using
[13:46] <sipior> kai696: the ones that were reported by lsof as having open files on the partition you want to unmount.
[13:46] <erty> hi there

[13:48] <Pici> Zonetti: Just need to have the computer on.
[13:48] <Pici> erty: getent passwd
[13:48] <erty> to find user ?
[13:49] <Pici> erty: Or cat /etc/passwd

[13:50] <nikola> erty,  passwd is file with info
[13:50] <Pici> erty: Thats the file that holds the information.  Password information isn't actually in that file.

[13:51] <MindVirus> Hey. I installed the Zuki theme but now all I get is the shitty default theme with the Zuki scrollbars. Any advice?
[13:52] <Zonetti> Pici, so the 'crontab -e' writes the script in root or something like that? I mean, the script will work independent of the user who is logged in?
[13:52] <MindVirus> The blocky, ugly one.
[13:52] <MindVirus> Are there GTK error logs?
[13:53] <Pici> Zonetti: It drops it in /var/spool/cron somewhere, and yes, it'll execute as whomever that crontab is owned by.

Everything just closes and I am logged off. Any ideas?
[14:11] <sangeeth> Sorry guys.... I don't need a proxy site... I need a VPN software
[14:11] <jsec> |ns|nR8: no. for some reason a re-burn of the cd tends to fix that issue for me...

But when i try to import this module from python2.5, it can't find the module. why isn't the default behaviour of python2.5 to look after modules in pyshared, and how can i reach this behaviour in debian-way?
[14:12] <PDani> i mean, ubuntu-way ;)

[14:14] <thechef> I accidently interrupted the upgrade process from 10.04 to 10.10. I was able to resume it using the console command. The point at which I was interrupting the upgrade process was where it was about to remove certain applications no longer required in 10.10 (among them is f-spot) - now how do I remove these packages manually if I don't know anymore which these are? I think that's all the applications that come out of the box with 10.04, but
[14:14] <thechef> not 10.10?
[14:14] <rapha> nikola: thanks still :-)
[14:15] <acer__> Sorry gyts, got disconnected, if someone has message me I may have lost the contents.
[14:15] <thechef> Or how can I resume the original upgrade process?
[14:15] <BluesKaj> thechef, run sudo aptitude autoremove
[14:15] <kryptyk> Morning all. I am having a strange issue that I have never encountered before. Anytime I run certain applications (VirtualBox for example) as soon as I move my mouse to the application, I am logged out of my session. No warning, no error, nothing. Everything just closes and I am logged off. Any ideas?
[14:15] <acer__> Is there a way to reset grub or something?
[14:15] <Pici> BluesKaj: aptitude isn't installed by default, probably best to use apt-get for examples :)
[14:15] <sebsebseb> BluesKaj: you can sudo apt-get install aptitude

[14:20] <Quaxir> Heydo, I'm encountering a grub-problem after updating Kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. When booting I get error: "the symbol 'grub-xputs' not found". I've tried to fix it with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099 but when chrooting to my normal system it tells mount point(s) doesn't exist. Any advice I should try?
[14:21] <Provance> I'm trying to set up an Actiontec Electronics, Inc. [hex] UAT1 Wireless Ethernet Adapter, if it's not listed here http://wiki.debian.org/linux-wlan-ng#supported-prism2-usb does that mean there is nothing I can do?
[14:22] <acer__> nikola, do you think I could do that from inside windows?
[14:22] <acer__> Because I cannot boot Linux anymore.
[14:22] <nikola> acer__, you need to boot from live cd,burn the alternative cd, instert in cdrom and reboot into it
[14:23] <nikola> onethatwecantsayitsname doesnt have support for ext2 3 4
[14:23] <nikola> acer__, you can also boot from usb, if you dont want to waste cd
[14:23] <acer__> nikola, I was thinking to try it from inside windows using Oracle VirtualBox...
[14:24] <nikola> afaik no
[14:24] <thechef> BluesKaj, that doesn't remove f-spot, so it seems that it doesn't exactly do the same as what actual upgrade proposed. How can I instead explicitely remove all packages for which what I said above applies exactly: Comes out-of-the-box with 10.04, does not come out-of-the-box with 10.10
[14:24] <nikola> they see only hardware windows gives them, acer__

[14:26] <acer__> nikola, ok
[14:27] <rumbert> devyll: I think that is possible with a soldering iron.  I think the connectors are compatible.  They are of TRS type. check that they have same # of connection points.

[14:37] <joe85> when I start an application from a terminal it locks the terminal, is there a way to start an application independant from the terminal window I am using?
[14:37] <enkidu> StaRetji: either you have to use tunefs, either change /etc/fstab options (last two numbers)

[14:38] <Dbl_Tap> joe85: man gnome-terminal or xterm. both have ways of not waiting for the command to finish.
[14:39] <StaRetji> enkidu: I'm using usb stick btw and here is my /etc/fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/513120/ I've messed with it before. Could you please have a look? Thx.
[14:39] <uLinux> AbhiJit: doesnt work :( just like alt + print
[14:39] <enkidu> StaRetji: usb you say?
[14:39] <StaRetji> enkidu: Yes, Its for xbmc (htpc)
[14:39] <AbhiJit> uLinux, in lucid is i press the key comination for lock scfreen ctrl alt l in 'normal' speed then it dont work. but if i decrease the speed very slightly then it works

[14:40] <pavan_>  ZGHirc  I installed virtualbox from soft center,
[14:40] <pavan_> so have I installed everything or still need to install some extra packages?
[14:40] <uLinux> AbhiJit: ctrl alt l works fine here
[14:40] <AbhiJit> ok
[14:40] <BluesKaj> splittsville
[14:40] <AbhiJit> uLinux, i was just givin you my experience example
[14:40] <untitled> anyone set up gitosis on ubuntu?
[14:40] <uLinux> AbhiJit: okok
[14:41] <aeon-ltd> joe85: did it work?
[14:41] <StaRetji> enkidu: You don't mind if I ask what it does? errors=remount-ro 0       1 to errors=remount-ro 0       0
[14:41] <enkidu> StaRetji: also, usb flash drives are slow in general, so you would prefer to use non-jurnaling filesystem (ext2)
[14:41] <uLinux> AbhiJit: i need to start using launchpad
[14:41] <AbhiJit> uLinux, yah
[14:41] <enkidu> StaRetji: it disables forced filesystem check on every mount
[14:41] <Gangrel> !kde
[14:42] <elb0w> So why in ubuntu 10.10 does my private key not work if it is named identity?
[14:42] <StaRetji> enkidu: I've just installed maverick :/ without swap and made /var/log to be written in memory. At least I think I did that
[14:42] <Gangrel> is it possible after installing kde to restore gnome?
[14:43] <enkidu> StaRetji: good. anyways, you wuld prefer not to use: journalling, atime, diratime etc
[14:43] <enkidu> Gangrel: why not?
[14:43] <rolando> A alguien le a pasado que al iniciar algun sonido (ej: musica o notificaciones) se escucha como si tuviera estatica... y al rato se escucha normal.. ya que mi maquina tiene este sintoma y no se si este relacionado con el pulseaudio.
[14:43] <dli> elb0w, to debug, try "ssh -v -p" "cd /usr/sbin;/usr/sbin/sshd -d -p"
[14:43] <Pici> !es | rolando
[14:44] <Gangrel> enkidu and how to i restore them?
[14:44] <StaRetji> enkidu: if forced filesystem check in good for the usb stick, I will leave it then. How about "EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)" Is ordered mode good for usb system? Also, I guess I can't change ext4 to ext2 on a working system?
[14:44] <geez> Hi, my ubuntu 9 login just returns me to the login screen. whereas if i login in as root or another user all is OK. any diagnostices to remedy this?
[14:44] <enkidu> Gangrel: just install ubuntu-desktop
[14:45] <Gangrel> enkidu won't this be a problem about dual GUI?
[14:45] <enkidu> StaRetji: unfortunately, you cannot mount ext4 as ext2. Forced filesystem check makes you waiting for bootup, while it will not find errors
[14:46] <enkidu> Gangrel: no, it will be not. I have kde, gnome, lxde and icewm on my desktop
[14:46] <ZGHirc> pavan_:I have not use the virtualbox,but they are the same.All need to install a tool .You can google it.
[14:46] <Pici> Gangrel: You can choose what desktop you want on the login screen.
[14:46] <BluesKaj> Gangrel, you choose your desktop environment at login
[14:46] <Gangrel> ahh i see
[14:47] <AbhiJit> does ubuntu automatically reads and executes the autorun files in my pen drive? (its full of viruses)
[14:47] <enkidu> AbhiJit: no
[14:47] <enkidu> it is windows-only feature
[14:47] <StaRetji> enkidu: So basically it should be safe without it. If it doesn't find errors I don't see the point using it. I've just changed 1 to 0 and it's the same delay. Nothing has changed.
[14:47] <enkidu> only .desktop files are executed automatically
[14:47] <BluesKaj> AbhiJit, only if you plug it in while running windows
[14:47] <rusty149> viruses is a major windows feature
[14:48] <AbhiJit> enkidu, when i asked the same question to wine people they told me it depends on distro. so i asked here. BluesKaj
[14:48] <enkidu> StaRetji: dunno, then, it must wait for something else, but not for driver you mentioned before
[14:48] <Quantum_Ion> yeah I know viruses love windows to DEATH
[14:48] <Davedan> how can I build latest numpy on ubuntu?
[14:48] <Quantum_Ion> NO VIRUS on LINUX hahah
[14:48] <dli> AbhiJit, I think you can infect ubuntu by plugging in a usb, you are entitled to win a big chunk of $$$
[14:49] <StaRetji> enkidu: Ok, thx for effort, it's really appreciated.
[14:49] <enkidu> Quantum_Ion: there are viruses for linux, but most of them cannot find dependencies ;)
[14:49] <Quantum_Ion> enkidu, right and that whole permission thing too
[14:49] <BluesKaj> AbhiJit, you must be careful tho, if you share folders on a network which has windows machines connected
[14:49] <jayeola> is there a way to create a live usb key and have permanent data stored there?

[14:50] <jayeola> example:- store files, keep packages installed on it etc
[14:50] <rusty149> jayeola: use ubuntu startup disk creator and specify a persistant size

[15:08] <tmba> hello, I'm running ubuntu 10.04 as a print server (and fileserver), but now all of a sudden I get "usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf failed" message when trying to print pdf files. I tried looking in the /var/log/cups/error_log but could not make much out of the message there. Anyone familiar with this problem?
[15:08] <Wavesonics> lenovo, damn, didnt seem to help :/
[15:08] <travlingeek> so does all the software install to a usb thumb drive in a persistance be installed or just the basic software of ubuntu is when using a live usb thumb drive
[15:09] <lenovo> Wavesonics,  oh no .
[15:09] <happydude> does anyone know how to turn off screensaver in 10.04
[15:09] <galusr> BluesKaj: Here is the output http://pastebin.com/s9JGCizp
[15:09] <lenovo> Wavesonics,  sorry i can't help me
[15:09] <nikola> happydude, System - Preferences - Screensawer
[15:09] <erUSUL> happydude: System>Preferences>Screensaver? or is that too obvious
[15:09] <undecim> happydude: System -> Preferences -> Screensaver?
[15:10] <Exploiter> my system went crzy, i m trying to isntall usplash, it says to remove: nearly all of my installed softwares..
[15:10] <i2v8an> happydude: you can disable it completely by using the start up program manager - I'm not sure what it's called these days.
[15:10] <Exploiter> anypro here, i can give teamviewer access..!!
[15:10] <nikola> actually, erUSUL it is not so obvious because people coming from windows are expecting screensawer to be at same place as Desktop settings
[15:11] <BluesKaj> galusr,  what does lsusb show ?
[15:11] <erUSUL> just expecting people to take a look at System menus ....
[15:11] <undecim> hmm... How do I make Ubuntu lock screen when I close my laptop?
[15:12] <happydude> I believe I have turned off everything, but it still blanks the screen after about 10 minutes!
[15:12] <nikola> im not saying that you are wrong, erUSUL :) just that was my first reaction when i wanted to turn it off, but i am a bit faster newb when looking for stuff in menu
[15:12] <galusr> BluesKaj: http://pastebin.com/VeRv0Ydm
[15:12] <undecim> happydude: That's probably the power management
[15:12] <undecim> happydude: Are you on a laptop running on battery?
[15:13] <nertil> how to turn off the screensaver? because everytime it ask me for my password!!!
[15:13] <happydude> undecim, I have turned off powermanager after configuring it not to blank the screen ever.
[15:13] <happydude> I is a desktop
[15:13] <dave65> nertil: just turn that option off
[15:13] <lenovo> nertil, you can set in powermanger
[15:13] <undecim> nertil: System -> Preferences -> Screensaver. You can keep the screensaver, but tell it to not lock the screen.
[15:13] <nikola> nertil, , System - Preferences - Screensawer
[15:13] <nertil> power manager?
[15:13] <nertil> ok
[15:13] <i2v8an> run gnome-screensaver-preferences in a terminal or run dialog to go directly to the menu
[15:14] <undecim> happydude: Turned off powermanager?
[15:14] <GMX750> HI please help! my issue is at-------------> http://paste.ubuntu.com/513148/
[15:14] <dave65> system/pref/screensaver
[15:14] <tmba> hello, I'm running ubuntu 10.04 as a print server (and fileserver), but now all of a sudden I get "usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf failed" message when trying to print pdf files. I tried looking in the /var/log/cups/error_log but could not make much out of the message there. Anyone familiar with this problem?
[15:14] <multipass> how do i make ubuntu not ask for password when come out of sleep
[15:14] <happydude> undecim, I turned off powermanager in startup applications
[15:14] <dave65> anyone from Wales?
[15:14] <AbhiJit> multipass, uncheck ask password in screensaver setting
[15:14] <undecim> happydude: The power management system will still be running. That's just the frontend to it
[15:15] <Pici> GMX750: #ubuntu-server may be more appropriate for your question.
[15:15] <happydude> undecim, ok.
[15:15] <multipass> im in there and done see the option AbhiJit
[15:15] <undecim> happydude: Go to system -> Preferences -> Power management, and change "Put display to sleep when inactive for:" to "Never"
[15:16] <afallenhope> Is there a way of adding a cdrom to the apt-get repo in terminal
[15:16] <BluesKaj> galusr, so your outboard drive is the Western Digital usb ? , the dev/sdc seems to be it
[15:16] <AbhiJit> multipass, there is - lock screen when screensaver is active
[15:16] <undecim> multipass: It's the lock screen option
[15:16] <happydude> undecim, I already done that... verifying ... yes it is set to never.
[15:16] <multipass> thats disabled
[15:16] <multipass> and its different than what im asking
[15:16] <AbhiJit> multipass, no its the one you want
[15:16] <Mrokii> What would be the best place to look (which log) to find out why the system crashed?
[15:16] <happydude> and screensaver is set to not activate when idle.
[15:16] <multipass> im talking about when the computer comes back from being asleep(suspended) not screensaver
[15:17] <nertil> humm why i get notification area with ! and a triangle and says the update information is outdated this may caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer avaiable
[15:17] <galusr> BluesKaj: hmmm ok. For some reason when I set this up I thought is was /dev/sdb2 & sdb3 and setup /etc/fstab as such. These two devices mount fine on boot. What on earth is it mounting I wonder?
[15:17] <undecim> happydude: weird. When your screen blanks, is it just a black screen, or does your monitor go to sleep?
[15:17] <undecim> happydude: I.e., does the backlight turn off?
[15:18] <happydude> undecim, I think the monitor goes to sleep, but I am not sure. I have two different monitors. It happens to both.
[15:18] <VP1> Hi, I want to manually download all dependencies of Wine 1.2 for my Lucid for further installing onto some other Lucid desktops which r not having Internet connection. Pl tell how to.
[15:18] <nertil> humm why i get notification area with ! and a triangle and says the update information is outdated this may caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer avaiable
[15:18] <galusr> Can anybody tell me how to view the shutdown logs from the command line?
[15:18] <drew212_> I cannot commit my files using eclipse and the subclipse plugin anymore, i updated ubuntu and it started throwing me an error about my workspace: unable to read the workbench state
[15:19] <undecim> happydude: Are you using proprietary video drivers?
[15:19] <nertil> humm why i get notification area with ! and a triangle and says the update information is outdated this may caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer avaiable

[15:20] <preetam> undecim there?
[15:20] <elro> hi, I'm trying to install netbook remix on an eeepc, but it doesn't recognise the usb stick (created on my mac following install instructions) as a bootable device
[15:20] <SaRy> nertil, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1545424.html
[15:20] <undecim> happydude: I think that fglrx handles the power management for its card/monitors
[15:20] <undecim> preetam: Yeah, I'm here

[15:21] <undecim> happydude: Install the catalyst control center and see if you can change the options there.
[15:21] <preetam> undecim yesterday I resolved the issue..

[15:21] <BluesKaj> galusr, how many partitions on the outboard , looks like 3 ?
[15:21] <Exploiter> dli, any sugestions?
[15:22] <dakota_> Graphics problem....
[15:22] <SaRy> Exploiter, Try these commands in the Terminal window:

[15:22] <preetam> undecim the problem is with the nm-system-setting.conf file
[15:22] <mcantor> How can I convince gnome-terminal to set its TERM to "xterm-256color" instead of just "xterm"?
[15:22] <SaRy> Exploiter, The first one updates your software package list, the second tries to fix possibly broken packages, the last one will try to clean the system of unneeded packages.

[15:25] <outlaw84> I am on a server that i running ubuntu but seams to be missing lots of coreutils :/
[15:25] <dogmatic69> hi everyone, any one subscribe to / buy linux format and is it worth while
[15:25] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: and your wallpaper is definately larger than that?, also are you running compiz?
[15:26] <dakota_> aeon-ltd compiz what is that..
[15:26] <aeon-ltd> !compiz | dakota_
[15:27] <alan__> Hey.
[15:27] <undecim> dakota_: Compiz is what does the "Desktop effects"
[15:27] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: its a compositing manager, which handles desktop effects and usually docks require this
[15:27] <alan__> For some reason my linux ubuntu 10.10 is slow? Any reasons?
[15:27] <galusr> BluesKaj: There is only two partitions I thought. It does look like 3 though here. I'll try mounting them now.
[15:27] <uLinux> just find how to clear auth.log "sudo bash" "cat /dev/null > /var/log/auth.log"
[15:28] <dakota_> aeon-ltd I am running the Xfce desktop. I  am running Docky too. I CHECK THE COMPIZ OPTION...
[15:28] <undecim> alan__: Have you checked your system monitor for processes hogging CPU/RAM?
[15:28] <travlingeek> so i have made a live usb of ubuntu and i have created a persistance on the usb thumb drive and i have many many extra software install on it i would like to know when im gonna install ubuntu on my netbook  will it install all those extra software  that was added to the thumbdrive in the persistance or not
[15:28] <alan__> When i had a lower version of ubuntu it was fine but sense i installed 10.10 today, its been slow to hell.
[15:28] <undecim> travlingeek: No it won't
[15:28] <alan__> undecim: Where do i check that?
[15:29] <dli> alan__, run 'top' in terminal
[15:29] <undecim> alan_: System -> Administration -> System Monitor
[15:29] <travlingeek> thanks undecim
[15:29] <undecim> alan__: Look at the processes tab, and click "% CPU" or "Memory" to sort the list by CPU or RAM usage
[15:30] <alan__> Do you want a screenshot?
[15:30] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: just try this, in a terminal 'killall docky' then 'docky'
[15:30] <tiox> alan: Maybe you can move the preference files over for each program, but that's it -- you gotta reinstall everything.
[15:30] <outlaw84> Is it normal for an ubuntu installation to be running a kernel that is from Red Hat? When checking in /proc/version?
[15:30] <tgywa> jrib, I am doing my first packaging ... question ...about the control file ... should I create my self ... or is that included in the downloaded source package?
[15:30] <undecim> alan__: No that's fine. Is there anything using up a lot of CPU or memory?
[15:30] <madjoe> hi! can I limit an application not to use more than 50% of available RAM?
[15:30] <dakota_> how do you enable compiz in Xfce..
[15:31] <alan__> Well look:  2319 alan      20   0  847m 599m 4008 S   90 60.5 532:05.79 plugin-containe
[15:31] <gantrixx> how can I tell if I have the Intel GMA 550 chipset?
[15:31] <drew212_> is there a way to completely remove a program and install fresh? I have eclipse and want to uninstall, but --purge doens't remove everything, when i reinstall it it still has all the plugins installed
[15:31] <tiox> Can you type in compiz and enable it?
[15:31] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: have you got it installed?
[15:31] <B-r00t> dakota_: you must install compiz
[15:31] <undecim> madjoe: I think you can set user limits on the process... I'd have to look up how to do it though
[15:31] <outlaw84> drew212_: have you tried to remove ~/.eclipse ?
[15:31] <dli> gantrixx, lspci|grep GMA
[15:31] <drew212_> outlaw84: no
[15:31] <dakota_> aeon-ltd that fixed it but the when I typed docky once agaain it went back to the problem.
[15:31] <dli> gantrixx, or generally, lspci|grep -i vga
[15:31] <madjoe> undecim: please do. I use Karmic x64
[15:32] <tiox> I was gonna suggest Synaptic, since you can also use the completely remove option there.
[15:32] <PowerTux> hi all, anyone knows why it rewrite printers.conf putting AuthInfoRequired username,password to a windows printer ?
[15:32] <tiox> But caps lock got in the way. :P
[15:32] <B-r00t> dakota_: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/
[15:32] <PowerTux> the device is DeviceURI smb://user:password@ip/printersname
[15:32] <quaack> im trying to build a broadcom driver but get the following error;  error: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory. any ideas?
[15:32] <PowerTux> i delete line AuthInfoRequired username,password and restart cups, and when i print from Firefox it happens again
[15:32] <FFForever> Any ideas why my cpu is always 1.x+ even with no apps open (just logging in)
[15:32] <VP1> vp1
[15:33] <galusr> BluesKaj: That mount command you gave me is not working. It's giving me usage information for the mount command!>
[15:33] <galusr> BluesKaj: Do I need to specify filesystem or something I wonder?
[15:33] <galusr> BluesKaj: The usage info is quite long. :(
[15:33] <drew212_> outlaw84: i'm trying that now
[15:33] <dli> alan__, make sure you have free Mem: Swap:, do not have high usually on %CPU %MEM. if you say something like 99 , 49, etc.
[15:33] <tiox> Let's face it: Ubuntu is becoming bloated because of all the extra stuff that comes with it. Don't want a bloated OS? Compile your own kernel. ;)
[15:33] <HexLaTor> FFForever, services
[15:33] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: do you use synaptics, the package manager?
[15:34] <dli> tiox, or just install debian
[15:34] <gantrixx> dli, It says I have VGA compatible controller: Intel Corportation System Controller Hub ( SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 06)
[15:34] <dakota_> I just use the Software Center or install it maunally in the terminal with aptitude.
[15:34] <gantrixx> dli, this speaks about the driver not the chipset doesn't it?
[15:34] <alan__> tinypic is slow today, im just uploading a screenshot
[15:34]  * tiox runs like the dickens
[15:35] <dli> gantrixx, poulsbo, it says all, return the computer to intel, and ask for replacement
[15:35] <alan__> dli: Here is a screenshot -> http://oi54.tinypic.com/oro4s1.jpg
[15:35] <dakota_> aeon-ltd I just use Software Center or Istall things manually in terminal.
[15:35] <MysteryGuest> hI -- i'm using grub 2 but when I get a new kernel image only the old grub menu.lst is updated, not grub.cfg.  What should I do?
[15:35] <gantrixx> dli, you are being fascisious.....what are you talking about?
[15:36] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: ok install compiz and ccsm
[15:36] <tiox> gantrixx: Ubuntu IS Debian with a lot of stuff.
[15:36] <dli> alan__, plugin! must be from adobe flash :( sudo pkill -9 plugin
[15:36] <ats> My internet connection is not working in 10.04, I upgraded it recently.
[15:36] <gantrixx> tiox, what does that have to do with returning my computer?
[15:36] <dakota_> aeon-ltd CCSN what is that exactly..
[15:36] <undecim> madjoe: Looks like the ulimit commad will do what you want... Do you want this to apply one time, or every time you lauch a program?
[15:36] <dli> gantrixx, you have poulsbo, don't expect much support here, or in linux generally
[15:36] <aeon-ltd> !ccsm
[15:37] <aeon-ltd> !ccsm | dakota_
[15:37] <madjoe> undecim: everytime I launch my Chrome
[15:37] <ix_> i've tried to install alsa-driver-linuxant.deb from linuxant.com, and it didn't install, it gives me an error make: [uninstall] Error 1 (ignored)
[15:37] <alan__> dli: I've killed it now.
[15:37] <ats> Is 10.04 has internet connection problem?
[15:37] <alan__> Wish i didn't upgrade to 10.10
[15:38] <tiox> Wow, that's bold...
[15:38] <alan__> Might just install debian
[15:38] <tiox> I wanna hold a quick vote.
[15:38] <dogmatic69> 10.10 x64 ftw
[15:38] <joeyeye> tiox, I vote no
[15:38] <Pici> tiox: Please not in this channel, this is for support only.
[15:38] <undecim> madjoe: Okay, I'm not sure what unit this is supposed to be in, but it looks like KB. How much ram do you want to give chrome?
[15:38] <tiox> Everyone actively chatting, who has had problrms with 10.10 since install?
[15:38] <dli> alan__, adobe is the one to blame, not ubuntu
[15:38] <muh-die-kuh> hi, i i got an asus p5q premium board, and want to stream the microphone input to the hdmi input. any hints on how to do that? (streaming it to line out would be no problem… :( )
[15:38] <offy> When I open a folder using the Places drop down list. It just loads open office and nothing happens. It opens the folder if I open Nautilus to view folders.
[15:38] <tiox> Oh, w/e
[15:38] <gantrixx> dli, why do you say I should return my computer?
[15:38] <dli> gantrixx, I said it wrong, please forgive me
[15:39] <alan__> dli: How can i stop this loading at start up so it doesnt hog my CPU?
[15:39] <WXZ> what's the applet with the drop down
[15:39] <joeyeye> tiox, I have no problem with 10.10 on hp mini netbook, compiz and unity are fine
[15:39] <WXZ> that says "log off, shut down, restart" etc.
[15:39] <ats> My internet connection is not working in 10.04, via ethernet. What should be the reason
[15:39] <enkidu> muh-die-kuh: you will need software mixer for that, but you can use arecord - | aplay -
[15:39] <tiox> dogmatic69: Yes, x64 FTW. But also, hard to play with for newbs because they can't just whip out the ubuntu-restricted-extras package for Flash and JS.
[15:39] <madjoe> undecim: well, I use 1.5GB of RAM, so 300MB should be enough?
[15:39] <dakota_> aeon-ltd it says I already have the latest version of compiz but when i typed the command to install ccsm it could not find such a package.
[15:39] <enkidu> to record from current input and to play on out
[15:40] <dli> alan__, there are open source flash plugins out there, not sure whether they are acceptable for you or not
[15:40] <mcantor> Anyone?  How can I convince gnome-terminal to set its TERM to "xterm-256color" instead of just "xterm"?
[15:40] <gantrixx> It seems that the Unity interface will not run on a Dell mini 10.  They state that it has the Intel GMA 550 GPU chipset.  I've not been able to verify this, but I have installed the Poulsbo drivers as recommended and it still doesn't work
[15:40] <muh-die-kuh> enkidu: i'll check that. thanks. any hints on which software mixer you want to use these days? (my knowledge on this topic might be outdated…)
[15:40] <Gangrel> how do i unistall KDE?
[15:40] <offy> When I open a folder using the Places drop down list. It just loads open office and nothing happens. It opens the folder if I open Nautilus to view folders
[15:40] <dli> alan__, apt-cache search flash|grep plugin
[15:40] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: it has the full name 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or you can install simple-ccsm
[15:40] <SaRy> WXZ,indicator applet session !
[15:40] <undecim> madjoe: Okay, so 300 MB = 307,200 KB, so you need to right-click on your menu, choose "edit menus" and find chrome.
[15:40] <drew212_> what is a terminal alias? how do i create one to connect to my home box if i type ssh homebox, instead of the IP?
[15:40] <enkidu> muh-die-kuh: dunno, it depends on hw
[15:40] <dakota_> aeon-ltd found it on Software Center
[15:41] <aeon-ltd> Gangrel: sudo apt-get remove kde (or kubuntu-desktop if you installed that)
[15:41] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: ok
[15:41] <undecim> madjoe: Then, you will want to edit it and replace the command with this: sh -c "ulimit -Hv 307200; google-chrome"
[15:42] <gp5st> sorry if this isn't the best place; i figured since it differs in ubuntu from the pecl package: can someone help me with using uuid_create from php5-uuid in ubuntu? I get 'call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated' and  'parameter wasn't passed by reference' when i tried to remove the &. I understand why I need pass-by-reference here, but I don't know how to do it in the constructs of php
[15:42] <alan__> dli: What one do you recommend
[15:42] <madjoe> undecim: cool! I'll try that! thanks!
[15:42] <undecim> madjoe: If you do that, every time you launch chrome from the menu, it will be restricted to 300MB ram
[15:43] <dli> alan__, I suggest you to try lightspark, which is not in ubuntu yet
[15:43] <dakota_> aeon-ltd but docky still causes the problem when started, should I  restart or what..
[15:43] <undecim> madjoe: If you have a desktop or panel shortcut, you need to remove it and make a new one from the editted menu shortcut
[15:43] <alan__> hm
[15:43] <madjoe> undecim: great! hopefully Chrome won't crash my Ubuntu anymore
[15:43] <Exploiter> i got error, unable to connect to dbus while booting up.. and then low grapic memory

[15:43] <madjoe> undecim: I use a panel shortcut, but I think I can handle that
[15:43] <dli> alan__, lightspark uses less cpu then adobe flash, but not yet feature complete
[15:43] <WXZ> SaRy:
[15:43] <undecim> madjoe: XD. If you find you need to teak that value, you can change the 307200 to whatever KB you want.
[15:43] <William_> hi
[15:43] <WXZ> all I get when I add that is "no indicators"
[15:44] <alan__> OKay thanks.
[15:44] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: start runnning compiz, then restart docky
[15:44] <dli> alan__, if you just want to play youtube, sudo apt-get install minitube
[15:44] <madjoe> undecim: got it! :)
[15:44] <alan__> Yeah thats all i need :)
[15:44] <blackshell> can anyone guide me how to install lamp on my ubuntu system,i did not get good resource from internet
[15:44] <dli> alan__, lightspark can play all youtube too
[15:44] <SaRy> WXZ,
[15:44] <erUSUL> !lamp | blackshell
[15:45] <William_> lamp
[15:45] <dakota_> aeon-ltd thats what I did but then it whent to the way it was when docky was restarted.
[15:45] <alan__> I've installed minitube now.
[15:45] <undecim> madjoe: I'd kind of like to know though if this works. I know chrome eats up a lot of RAM because it runs each tab in a new thread, and I don't know if that limit counts for each thread or if it's shared among them.
[15:45] <WXZ> yes?
[15:45] <offy> When I open a folder using the Places drop down list. It just loads open office and nothing happens. It opens the folder if I open Nautilus to view folders
[15:45] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: please take a new screenshot please,
[15:45] <SaRy> WXZ, What you did exactly.
[15:45] <alan__> Okay question about conky, i've installed it but now on the tutorial its saying: "Make a configuration file in your home directory (Ex:-/home/ubuntuadmin)", though that doesn't even exist?
[15:45] <WXZ> but i wrote something after it
[15:46] <madjoe> undecim: oh, good point... since each tab is a separate process, somehow I think it won't work for all of them
[15:46] <madjoe> undecim: we'll see
[15:46] <WXZ> (10:43:57 AM) WXZ: all I get when I add that is "no indicators"
[15:46] <undecim> alan_: You need to make a .conkyrc file in your home directory
[15:46] <alan__> So: /home/alan/ ?
[15:46] <tiox> Pretty much.
[15:46] <madjoe> undecim: can I put %U at the end like this? sh -c "ulimit -Hv 307200; google-chrome %U"
[15:46] <dakota_> aeon-ltd it looks the same as before in the screenshot I just took, but when docky is quit it looks normal and everything wroks fine and the black bar is gone, but it looks just as it did before with docky enabled.
[15:46] <dli> alan__, your home directory is '~', "$HOME" in terminal
[15:46] <outlaw84> quit
[15:47] <drew212_> im getting a bad assignment trying to use an alias, whys that?
[15:47] <undecim> madjoe: Yup, just like that
[15:47] <madjoe> ok
[15:47] <WXZ> SaRy: all I get when I add that is "no indicators"
[15:47] <WXZ> full sentence.
[15:47] <undecim> alan_: /home/alan/.conkyrc would be your conky config file, yes
[15:47] <alan__> ah thanks
[15:47] <SaRy> WXZ, i see
[15:47] <Exploiter> alan_ if you need, i have a cool conky myself.. let me know..
[15:47] <undecim> alan_: You will probably want to copy someone else's config file to start with
[15:48] <tensorpudding> drew212_: what is what you're trying to alias, exactly?
[15:48] <SaRy> WXZ, !see bug 548414
[15:48] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: even running compiz? did you do 'compiz --replace' in terminal before restarting docky?
[15:48] <tiox> !conky | tiox
[15:48] <WXZ> SaRy: and I can't click it, well I can, but it does nothing
[15:48] <undecim> alan_: There is a huge thread on the ubuntu forums with conky configs and screenshots
[15:48] <WXZ> !see bug 548414
[15:48] <drew212_> ssh to my home box, i dont want to type an IP

[15:49] <drew212_> dli: hostname? how do i do that?
[15:49] <dakota_> aeon-ltd  just figured that out and eveything works fine now thanx.
[15:49] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: oh ok, good :)
[15:49] <stealth_> Hey people, I need to recover a document for a friend off a SD drive. The thing is, it is a .docx file. Anyone know a tool that can recover these files, because foremost can not recover them to the best of my knowledge
[15:49] <dli> drew212_, the easiest, put in your /etc/hosts
[15:49] <tensorpudding> drew212_: you could either add the host to /etc/hosts, or make an entry in ~/.ssh/config
[15:49] <dli> drew212_, a line like: 192.168.0.5 myhome
[15:49] <drew212_> alright
[15:50] <MysteryGuest> HI -- I have grub2 installed but ubuntu kernel udpates do not update grub.cfg -- just the old menu.lst.  What should I do?
[15:50] <dli> drew212_, even better, install dnsmasq as well, sudo apt-get install dnsmasq, and put "nameserver 127.0.0.1" as your first line in /etc/resolv.conf
[15:51] <dli> MysteryGuest, sudo update-grub
[15:51] <abhinav_singh2> how to install tar.gz file?
[15:51] <dli> MysteryGuest, grub2 doesn't use menu.lst, grub.cfg is auto-generated
[15:51] <MysteryGuest> dli -- doesn't update grub.cfg...just menu.lst
[15:51] <jdimatteo> hi all, I'm trying to boot my Ubuntu 9.10 system into single user mode or recovery mode from grub 2.  after I select "recovery mode" from the grub menu, a second menu comes up with options like "Resume" and "Drop to root shell prompt", but I can't seem to choose "Drop to root shell prompt" because a bunch of text like "Starting NTP server ntpd" overwrites my screen.  can someone please help me?
[15:51] <aeon-ltd> abhinav_singh2: what's inside it? source code? a theme?
[15:51] <tiz-> .tar.gz is a zip file
[15:51] <tensorpudding> abhinav_singh2: unpack it, then read the installation instructions provided on the site you downloaded it from
[15:51] <dli> abhinav_singh2, depends, but mostly, ./configure;make;sudo make install
[15:51] <dakota_> aeon-ltd but now I need to remove the bottom panel in Xfce have any Ideas, i tried removing it like I would in Gnome but it wont work.
[15:52] <innerand> Hello, I m using ubuntu 10.10 on ssd. noatime for all volumes, swapiness set to 10, iosheduler is deatline, /tmp and /var/log are tmpfs. Direktly after booting i have 2GB written data (iostat). If i deaktivate swap i have no written data ( < 1MB). Is it possible that something writes the full 2 GB swap during boot?
[15:52] <dakota_> aeon-ltd already figured it out..
[15:52] <tensorpudding> abhinav_singh2: all that it being a .tar.gz file means that it is a compressed archive with files in it. there is no general way to "install" what is in it unless it has some more specific structure.
[15:52] <undecim> abhinav_singh2: .tar.gz files are archive files, like a .zip file on windows. If you are trying to install a program, have you made sure that it's not in the Ubuntu software center?
[15:52] <dli> dakota_, right click on panel to set panel properties, or find it in xfce setting manager
[15:53] <tensorpudding> abhinav_singh2: for instance, if it is full of themes, it can probably be installed using the Install... button in the Appearance menu
[15:53] <MysteryGuest> dli: udpate-grub does not update grub.cfg -- it updates menu.lst which is not used by grub2
[15:53] <aeon-ltd> dakota_: heh :) lol
[15:53] <glaucous> Sometimes while booting kernel (text mode) the kernel (1/4 times) stop loading, and if frozen until I push the power button - then the boot continues. What exactly happens when I push the power button during boot? Because it always works.
[15:53] <dli> MysteryGuest, weird, do you have grub2?
[15:53] <jdimatteo> how do I boot into single user mode / recover mode so that NTP and NFS mounts don't get hung up?
[15:53] <Exploiter> Oct 14 16:53:47 linux-Desktop init: Unable to connect to the system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused
[15:53] <Exploiter> any idea anyone?
[15:53] <dli> dakota_, you can also run in terminal: xfce4-panel -c
[15:54] <MysteryGuest> dli: yes!  grub legacy won't boot my machine
[15:54] <jk_> j #ceidades ceider
[15:54] <alan__> Okay im on here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865
[15:54] <tensorpudding> jdimatteo: pretty sure that single-user mode implies that network daemons like that don't start up
[15:54] <alan__> Says: Add dbe module to /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reduce flickering.
[15:54] <alan__> sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:54] <drew212_> dli: what if i want to type ssh homecomputer - where homecomputer = blabla@122.0.0.1 or whatever? its not working for me its saying cannot resolve hostname
[15:54] <dli> MysteryGuest, rm the menu.lst file, try again: sudo update-grub
[15:54] <alan__> Though i don't get no text to edit/
[15:54] <offy> When I open a folder using the Places drop down list. It just loads open office and nothing happens. It opens the folder if I open Nautilus to view folders
[15:55] <uLinux> where xset settings are saved?
[15:55] <tensorpudding> drew212_: does ping resolve the hostname to the correct IP?
[15:55] <jon_> donnell
[15:55] <jdimatteo> tensorpudding: I'm having trouble booting into single user mode.  can you please help me?
[15:55] <dli> drew212_, first, "ssh blahblah@122.0.0.1" works for you
[15:55] <madjoe> undecim: I can see several chrome processes - one is owned by root and all the others are owned by me as a normal user... I just opened two tabs and I can see that the root process uses 217MB of RAM and all the other processes (more than 20!!) use the same value of 836MB of RAM
[15:55] <MysteryGuest> dli: I got the message: "Could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Would you like /boot/grub/menu.lst generated for you? (y/N)"
[15:55] <tensorpudding> jdimatteo: it's the (recovery) option of GRUB2
[15:55] <dli> drew212_, then, you have a line in /etc/hosts: 122.0.0.1 myhomeserver
[15:56] <jdimatteo> tensorpudding,  after I select "recovery mode" from the grub menu, a second menu comes up with options like "Resume" and "Drop to root shell prompt", but I can't seem to choose "Drop to root shell prompt" because when I hit the down arrow key to navigate down to that option, a bunch of text like "Starting NTP server ntpd" overwrites my screen
[15:56] <undecim> madjoe: More than 20 processes? Do you have that many tabs open?
[15:56] <madjoe> undecim: no, I opened only 2 tabs
[15:56] <tensorpudding> jdimatteo: are you sure sure that you're not hitting the resume option?
[15:56] <drew212_> dli: nope
[15:56] <undecim> madjoe: What I think is really weird is the one running as root...
[15:56] <alan__> Thats one thing i've noticed with google chrome, if you have so many tabs open it uses more processes,
[15:56] <madjoe> undecim: oh, those 20 processes are /usr/bin/google-chrome
[15:57] <drew212_> dli yes ssh blabla@122.0.01 or wahtever works
[15:57] <offy> When I open a folder using the Places drop down list. It just loads open office and nothing happens. It opens the folder if I open Nautilus to view folders
[15:57] <undecim> madjoe: Hang on, let me install chrome and have a look at this. Are you using chrome stable?
[15:57] <dli> MysteryGuest, sudo less /usr/sbin/update-grub
[15:57] <dli> MysteryGuest, sudo which update-grub
[15:57] <madjoe> undecim: and there are 2 processes that are recognized like /opt/google/chrome/chrome and both of those use 911MB
[15:57] <alan__> So goes for Windows, does the same
[15:57] <BluesKaj> galusr, just try mount /dev/sdcx
[15:57] <dli> drew212_, what about your /etc/hosts?
[15:58] <madjoe> undecim: Chrome Beta x64
[15:58] <drew212_> dli: no it doesnt have that in there
[15:58] <drew212_> all it has is localhost and myname-laptop
[15:58] <MRS23FF> hello

[15:58] <madjoe> undecim: Chrome 7.0.517.36 beta

[15:58] <chandan> how can i install a software by using package manager?
[15:59] <tensorpudding> jdimatteo: is it a timeout?
[15:59] <MRS23FF> i have an fujitsu siemens amilo li2735 and i cant use 10.04 or 10.10
[15:59] <dli> chandan, search, choose, and install
[15:59] <tensorpudding> jdimatteo: the timeout can be really fast

[15:59] <MysteryGuest> dli: sudo which update-grub
[15:59] <MysteryGuest> /usr/sbin/update-grub
[15:59] <MRS23FF> the problem is the sistem double restarts
[15:59] <jdimatteo> tensorpudding: yeah, I guess so, I'll try to go faster :)
[15:59] <MRS23FF> i think it is a bios problem...

[15:59] <Exploiter> any idea anyone?
[16:00] <madjoe> undecim: oh, I was looking at the virtual mem, not RES! sorry... well, thse /opt/google/chrome processes use 143M! both of them!
[16:00] <MysteryGuest> dli: works fine -- do you want to see the whole thing?
[16:00] <drew212_> dli: that doesnt work either
[16:00] <tensorpudding> MRS23FF: double restarts?
[16:00] <undecim> madjoe: So they are using a total of less than 300 MB?
[16:00] <dli> MysteryGuest, no, does the file show grub.cfg?
[16:00] <MRS23FF> when i power on
[16:00] <MRS23FF> the laptop

[16:04] <Zaca12>   /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[16:04] <undecim> toader: If you open a terminal, you can type "swapon -s" to see a summary of your active swap partitions, their size, and their current usage
[16:04] <dli> drew212_, you are supposed to type "ssh user@server" or "ssh server", if username stays
[16:04] <Zaca12> could anyone help?
[16:04] <undecim> madjoe: Awesome
[16:04] <drew212_> dli: ping myhomeserver does not work
[16:05] <tensorpudding> MRS23FF: this sounds like a problem with your laptop, not with Linux, if you're saying it boots correctly
[16:05] <madjoe> undecim: that is a valuable information, thanks for that!
[16:05] <toader> undecim: i think it is not this info
[16:05] <toader> undecim: i want to know the page size
[16:05] <undecim> madjoe: You know, I think I know a way you could make this adjustable on the fly, too... I'm gonna have to explore this a little, lol

[16:10] <blackshell> goltoof_:thanks
[16:10] <undecim> uLinux: Otherwise, you could just uninstall it?
[16:10] <goltoof_> blackshell:  you can reconfigure apache to host a different directory, ie  ~/localhost

[16:11] <Grey_Loki> Hi, I want to re-set my grub(2, I think) install after it somehow zonked and forgot that I have an XP installation on this machine. I have Ubuntu 10.4 installed through Wubi, and an XPSP3 install on this laptop. The XPSP3 install is on the first partition of two on this single disk, and the Ubuntu install is in a 10GB file in the second partition. What tools/steps do I need to be looking at to reconfigure grub now that it seem
[16:12] <drew212_> BluesKaj: do i do this on the computer im SSHing to or from?
[16:12] <gizmobay> I ran memtest and it failed. Now it passes even though I didn't touch a thing. How can this be?

[16:15] <blackshell> goltoof_:how?
[16:15] <Grey_Loki> Additionally to the above, i've just tried running grub-mkconfig (which from what i'm reading is now the default way of getting grub2 to recognise installed OSes), and it recognised several Ubuntu installs (i.e, the past two kernels and their recovery modes), and one other install which it calls Ubuntu, but which has completely different settings and information compared to the other four.

[16:17] <gizmobay> hmm thanks undecim the RAM is brand new.
[16:17] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: done, no luck. when i reboot the key, ubuntu reinstall ubiquity... dunno why!
[16:18] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: How did you remove it?
[16:18] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: If you remove it from the live system, it won't save changes, because the live system stores changes in RAM, which is wiped on reboot
[16:18] <v_v> undecim: hey , thank you .
[16:18] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: with apt-get... i made a mistake? apt-get remove ubiquity and all the ubiquity's packages
[16:19] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: ah .. correct, thats what i'm doing... is there any other way to remove it, please?
[16:19] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: err... not "any other way", but the correct way to remove it :D
[16:19] <nertil> is it possible logmein on ubuntu ?
[16:19] <MAD-PPAS> hi there i need to now how to Synaptics TouchPad ubuntu 10.10
[16:20] <MAD-PPAS> how to install that and us :)
[16:20] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: You need to extract the squashfs that's on the CD/Thumb drive that you're using, chroot into the extracted directory, and THEN apt-get --purge remove it.
[16:20] <MAD-PPAS> " Synaptics TouchPad "
[16:20] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: Or, I recommend using aptitude to find and remove/add packages.
[16:20] <nertil> is it possible logmein on ubuntu ?
[16:20] <nertil> is it possible logmein on ubuntu ?
[16:21] <undecim> nertil: not AFAIK
[16:21] <nertil> what is afaik

[16:21] <undecim> nertil: as far as i know
[16:21] <researcher1> is it easy to make Xp the default system in a dual boot where Ubuntu is already the default OS
[16:21] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: ok, thanks.. i'll use aptitude (not apt-get). undecim excuse me for the stupid question (i'm not an advanced user), 1) mount -o loop filesystem.squashfs /somedir .. 2) chroot . 3) remove

[16:22] <_vaibhav_> in system monitor How I can monitor stats of different lan connection?
[16:22] <jsjc> I have an ubuntu that I just realized (due to slow internet connection) that there is something wrong going on... al my NIC are dropping packets by the million/sec
[16:22] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: You can't mount squashfs read-write. You have to extract it, do your modifications, then rebuild it.
[16:22] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: Say, would this be a thumb drive or a CD?
[16:22] <antonio_mazzarri> argh.. :)
[16:22] <BluesKaj> drew212_, both , if they're linux

[16:23] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: How large of a drive? and are you planning on using it to store stuff other than Ubuntu?
[16:23] <nertil> aptidute!
[16:23] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: my usb disk is 64Gb... i'll store on it ONLY ubuntu (customized)
[16:23] <MRS23FF> is there somebody who can help me with a problem related to suspend / resume on ubuntu and a power problem

[16:24] <genie> Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server.
[16:24] <genie> any suggestion?
[16:24] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: Well, you have a few options then... You could just use another thumb drive or a CD to install Ubuntu to that thumb drive. Or, you can make a custom live usb without squashfs if you want to clear changes every time it boots
[16:24] <MRS23FF> upgrade with an cd
[16:25] <lou1234> anyone know how to remove a bad package?
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> lou1234: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename

[16:25] <jrib> lou1234: define "bad package"
[16:25] <lou1234> it was a package of themes and the last theme apparently is missing some lines in the file
[16:26] <lou1234> i tried to manually install the .deb packages
[16:26] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: There are benefits to both. The installation being easier and upgradeable, though a live system tends to be more stable when used across multiple computers
[16:26] <lou1234> but everything seems to eb a bit broke

[16:28] <researcher1> how can I identify myself as my  nick is registered on freenode
[16:28] <Wavesonics|work> this is the worst ubuntu upgrade ive had in YEARS
[16:28] <jrib> researcher1: #freenode can help you with that
[16:29] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: yes, sure.. that's what i've done! i made an usb stick + persistance.. but the problem is still the same, sometime ubiquity ask me to install or try ubuntu
[16:29] <rusty149> Benkinooby: sudo apt-get purge lubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove
[16:29] <researcher1> ok
[16:29] <sipior> Wavesonics|work: nice way to begin a conversation.
[16:29] <cfairles> sectorb, don't use -w ? filter for http protocol ? tcpdump -Xvv | less -n ?

[16:29] <Benkinooby> rusty149, thank you
[16:29] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: my ubuntu + persistance works great... but this ugly ubiquity... argh!
[16:29] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: Well, you could also just modify the syslinux config to always go to desktop instead of asking to install
[16:30] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: ok, how ?! :D
[16:30] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: if i can do that, its ok for me
[16:30] <acer_> Was trying to repair grub from a 10.10 upgrade but the repair system doesn't recognize the /sra1 or /sra2 partitions as a a valid one or does't find grup files, is it possible?
[16:30] <cfairles> sectorb, tcpdump -Xvv tcp | less -n or something
[16:30] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: I believe it's the "text.cfg" file in the syslinux folder
[16:30] <obengdako> Wavesonics|work: adam why do you say this is the worst upgrade?
[16:30] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: yes, and i dont have the "ubiquity" on my startup line

How do I report an upgrade bug like this? I report bugs on apps all the time, but what package should I report it on (with apport-bug). Is there a special way to report upgrade bugs?
[16:34] <sectorb> _nice_ thanks cfairles

[16:34] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: and other 2 lines with the name of the system, like label live, kernel blablabla

[16:47] <alex88> undecim: i had atheror 5008 and it has n working..btw i'll try that thank you..
[16:47] <Wavesonics|work> 10.10 has screwed up my Ethernet port, so if I unplug my cable and replug it, it doesnt detect it and start up,  again, any ideas?
[16:47] <acer_> Wavesonics|work, man, this computer may worst a fortune!!!
[16:47] <robinsmidsrod> (running 10.04 LTS)
[16:47] <Benwa> jrib→ thanks :)
[16:47] <erUSUL> galusr_: how mauch memory does this machine has? swap?
[16:47] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, not accessible at this time :/
[16:47] <Threepwood5> I'm using mplayer in my Python script, But it comes back with loads of unwanted text when playing a file, Is there a Quite switch? ( I couldn't find it )
[16:47] <jrib> lou1234: one way to remove it would be to do "dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq packagename", otherwise you need to figure out why the package is not installing correctly and sort that out
[16:48] <alex88> undecim: oh..only iwlang..thank you...now trying..
[16:48] <gpetrakis> undecim: i have a UUID line there
[16:48] <undecim> Threepwood5: Put "> /dev/null" at the end of the command
[16:48] <acer_> Wavesonics|work, so you think we should stop talking?
[16:48] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: ah ok.. he'll search "txt.cfg" but i've the same 5 lines on it :) ahah... i'm becaming crazy, trust me! :D
[16:48] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: as stupid i made cp -ar text.cfg on txt.cfg :D
[16:48] <undecim> gpetrakis: You will have UUIDs for other partitions as well. If you already have one that says swap, then you're fine.
[16:48]  * eeffoc waves at everyone.
[16:48] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: i'm trying ALL! :)
[16:48] <finalblogger> i cant configure my yahoo account in chat?
[16:48] <acer_> Wavesonics|work, can you see a light in the end of the tunnel for me? or for my grub?
[16:48] <finalblogger> any help
[16:49]  * erUSUL waves back
[16:49] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, srry im @ work, cant spend any more time, but if u are at a grub command line when u boot, then u CAN recover it, thats for sure
[16:49] <undecim> gpetrakis: You should have a swap partition by default if you let Ubuntu manage the partition setup
[16:49] <Threepwood5> undecim: Forgot I could do that, Thanks
[16:49] <galusr_> erUSUL: I'm not sure how to check. Seems sufficient while running apps in GNOME and remotely via FreeNX though.
[16:49] <gpetrakis> undecim: i have only one for the /dev/sdb1
[16:49] <alan__> How do i uninstall ubuntu games?
[16:50] <undecim> gpetrakis: So nothing with "swap" in it?
[16:50] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, like i said there are those 3 commands "linux" "initrd" and "boot" which will allow u to boot ur install, research them to find their arguments, and GRUB2 supports tab complete so u can get ur kernel image names easily
[16:50] <alan__> Though i want to keep python and all its using..
[16:50] <gpetrakis> undecim: no
[16:50] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, once ur in the install u need to run the grub update program to reinit grub
[16:50] <erUSUL> galusr_: free -m; all those error come from oom killer killing apps becouse you run out of memory. so either there is a memory leak somewhere or you are overloading the mchine
[16:50] <acer_> Wavesonics|work, I believe in you, but I need a recipe.
[16:50] <undecim> gpetrakis: You will need to make one on a livecd with GParted then.
[16:51] <acer_> Wavesonics|work, thats to vage for me. I need something very clear step by step.
[16:51] <acer_> They shouldn't have released this upgrade. This is a disgrace!
[16:52] <gpetrakis> undecim: how big to do the swap partition
[16:52] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, ya im pretty frustrated w\ it as well :(
[16:52] <alex88> undecim: worked..it says abgn on iwconfig..but 65mb/s..but i'll try if it works fine...thank you
[16:52] <sipior> acer_: maybe you can get your money back.
[16:52] <undecim> gpetrakis: If you want to hibernate, make it the size of your ram.
[16:52] <jakov1> Hi. does anyone owns asus netbook? I'd like to install a ubuntu on it (from pendrive), but I don't know how can I reboot the asus express gate... anyone?
[16:52] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, ur in luck
[16:52] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, i found some paper i had written the commands on
[16:52] <acer_> sipior, if I had put money on it I would have at least my right to sue this company.
[16:52] <undecim> alex88: I think 65mb/s is wireless N at top speed
[16:52] <gpetrakis> undecim: as big as the RAM size?
[16:53] <undecim> gpetrakis: Yup
[16:53] <acer_> Wavesonics|work, great.
[16:53] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, are you at the GRUB command line?
[16:53] <alex88> undecim: mbit..it would be 300 teorically..
[16:53] <undecim> alex88: Oh, nvm, I just googled it, lol
[16:53] <acer_> No, I need to reset the machine to try access it and see.
[16:53] <undecim> alex88: Or maybe there is confusion of bits vs bytes here...
[16:54] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, so ur on the same machine?
[16:54] <alex88> undecim: np..because on win router says connected at 300 and now 130...but i'll test better :) thanks for the time
[16:54] <Wavesonics|work> acer_, thats gonna b a pain...
[16:54] <acer_> Wavesonics|work, yes
[16:54] <Grey_Loki> How can I find a list of what's on my various hard drives and partitions?
[16:54] <Grey_Loki> I have a windows install somewhere, but i'm not sure what Ubuntu is calling it
[16:54] <Grey_Loki> i.e, dev/sdax, with x being the partition number
[16:54] <acer_> Wavesonics|work, I can try log on a different machine and test it. but I cannot loose windows man!
[16:55] <anodesni> Hi, I'm trying to get my tv card working. Its a Pinnacle PCTV 73e SE, the driver is loaded correctly according to dmesg output. When I 'scan' with the initial channel file for my country I only get messages about "(tuning failed)". What's wrong?
[16:55] <PennStateJoe74> can anyone offer me some assistance creating a lirc.config file to turn on/or my television set using a serial ir blaster and known discrete codes
[16:55] <gpetrakis> Grey_Loki: with gparted from USC
[16:55] <galusr_> erUSUL: After running free -m it says I've have total 488, used 473 and free is 14. Is this MB? That would be half a GB of ram? Swap values for total, used and free are all at zero. It's only when I shut the machine down that I get all these errors though. Is it strange that it would only max out the memory at this stage?
[16:55] <PennStateJoe74> i mean on/off
[16:55] <rusty149> Grey_Loki: blkid
[16:55] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: I have to leave for ~30 minutes, but I'll be back if you still need help
[16:56] <jefelex> windows is crap
[16:56] <antonio_mazzarri> undecim: thanks.. dont worry! i'm googling hope to find something ...
[16:56] <DrHalan> hey, how do i enable gallium3d when using nouveau?
[16:56] <kennyG> Wavesonics|work, hey, that's me. I will leave the other machine and try with you a step by step recipe. Ok?
[16:56] <alex88> undecim: about ~4mbyte/S...seems nice..thank you :)
[16:56] <antonio_mazzarri> becuase is really strange i cannot make an usb stick without ubiquity! :(
[16:56] <antonio_mazzarri> later undecim
[16:56] <PennStateJoe74> lirc anyone
[16:56] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: You should just be able to copy the "live" option from text.cfg into syslinux.cfg
[16:57] <Wavesonics|work> kennyG, sure
[16:57] <jefelex> I'm liking 10.04 - just upgraded from 9.10 - it is better
[16:57] <erUSUL> galusr_: yes half gig of ram. well dunno; the oom killer messages are there though. there are no other errors that i can see.
[16:57] <undecim> antonio_mazzarri: Anyways, time for me to go. bbl
[16:57] <antonio_mazzarri> bbl
[16:57] <antonio_mazzarri> !
[16:57] <Wavesonics|work> kennyG, ok so are u at the GRUB cmd line?
[16:57] <cdubya> Looking for suggestions on a simple web interface for backup on server 10.04. I have a network drive I'm wanting to copy from to an attached external drive, but want to automate it.
[16:57] <rjharv> jefelex: why not go to 10.10
[16:57] <kennyG> Wavesonics|work, yes, I am acer and someone here at office is KeenyG :P
[16:57] <kennyG> Wavesonics|work, hold a sec. I will have to restart it.
[16:58] <jefelex> I want to try out 10.04 for a while - see if it needs to be upgraded
[16:58] <kennyG> Wavesonics|work, GRUB command line is Linux command line, right?
[16:58] <Wavesonics|work> kennyG, no
[16:58] <Wavesonics|work> kennyG, GRUB is before u even boot linux
[16:58] <Wavesonics|work> kennyG, its wher eu select what OS to boot
[16:58] <jefelex> rjhan:  has the floppy drive bug been ironed out of 10.10?
[16:58] <dschuett> anyone ever have a problem with ubuntu noticing when your isp changes your ipaddress...?
[16:58] <Wavesonics|work> kennyG, if there are no entries for OSs to boot, then u get a command line
[16:59] <kennyG> Wavesonics|work, I am on GRUB startup window.
[17:00] <kennyG> Wavesonics|work, I have two different options : Win and Ubuntu. If I choose Win it boots from Windows 7 and it's working.
[17:00] <jefelex> gotta go - ttyl
[17:02] <DSN> well, ive ditched BT on HDD, commign back to ubuntu :D
[17:03] <archlich> Has anyone seen x86_64 firefox with no plugins enabled not correctly handle requests to msdn?  e.g. going to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394597%28v=VS.85%29.aspx causes a  Unable to Service Request page to appear.  The site renders fine in chromium and my coworkers pc using the same version of firefox
[17:03] <lou1234> jrib: that helped out a ton.. thank you very much!!
[17:05] <Alberto_Spain> Hello
[17:05] <xckpd7> what are some of the more popular things to do to Ubuntu once you've installed?
[17:06] <SaRy> xckpd7, sync your files ..
[17:06] <DSN> install msf + set and root your mum's pc
[17:06] <DSN> install aircrack and crack you neighbours wep
[17:06] <Failican> hell yah
[17:06] <DSN> install ettercap and ssl strip and arp poison yoru boss's email password
[17:07] <DSN> lol...
[17:07] <galusr_> erUSUL: Ok and does dmesg include both startup and shutdown error messages? I wonder how I could analyse my ram to kill unnecessary apps that use alot of memory.
[17:07] <anodesni> Hi, I'm trying to get my tv card working. Its a Pinnacle PCTV 73e SE, the driver is loaded correctly according to dmesg output. When I 'scan' with the initial channel file for my country I only get messages about "(tuning failed)". What's wrong? I got it working before
[17:07] <erUSUL> galusr_: use top; order by memory use hitting "M"
[17:10] <mycroftmkiv> anodesni: You may need to load the firmware. see http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_nano_Stick_(73e)#Firmware_Installation
[17:10] <anodesni> mycroftmkiv, dmesg reports : dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw'  dib0700: firmware started successfully
[17:10] <Wavesonics|work> 10.10 is a travesty
[17:11] <mycroftmkiv> See that page for more troubleshooting info.
[17:11] <mick_laptop> anyone know who manages planet.ubuntu.com ?

[17:12] <martin_l336> hello room
[17:12] <martin_l336> :) any technician here?
[17:12] <aeon-ltd> !ask | martin_l336
[17:13] <martin_l336> Ok mod sorry ^^
[17:14] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: heh  aeon-ltd isn't a mod/op
[17:14] <galusr_> erUSUL: I think swap should solve that problem anyway. It seems to be when trying to startup some firefox thing that the problem is happening. Running top I can see firefox is fairly intensive. I think the shutdown info isn't included in dmesg though. Firefox would not be running at shutdown - the problem is near the end of the shutdown process aswell I think.
[17:15] <martin_l336> i'm wondering why my SIS graphic can't be identify in ubuntu 10.4? I already try to do almost all modification from ubuntuforum source and also other blogs but only return me with flickering screen or xconf fail. Now i'm using vesa driver running @1028x768.. my native resolution is 1366x768. I just wondering if i can push vesa driver confiugration to display
[17:15] <martin_l336> sebsebseb: lol because it red :P
[17:15] <firewalker22> ahoy hoy, does anybody in here know how to make the keyring start automatically on boot so it does not interfere with remote desktop login?
[17:15] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: the highlight?
[17:16] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: if a nick is used on IRC,  most clients high light
[17:16] <Quantum_Ion> keyring is annoying
[17:16] <firewalker22> yes it is!
[17:16] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: anyway I have bad news for you, SIS  doesn't exaclty work nicely with Ubuntu if at all relay
[17:16] <martin_l336> sebsebseb: yeah i know that already.... that's why i'm just curious about reconfigure my vesa to work with my native res
[17:17] <Quantum_Ion> firewalker22, the way to get rid of keyring is edit your start up menu and disable gnome keyring
[17:17] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: you probably won't get very far trying to get it to work
[17:17] <firewalker22> thxs quantum, will give that a try
[17:17] <martin_l336> sebsebseb: any advice for other version of gnome based that "maybe" have a little bit support to run my display
[17:18] <martin_l336> sebsebseb: i just need a 2d acc with native res only that
[17:18] <asw> hello,i need a sip voip client,any suggestions?thanks
[17:18] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: Gnome isn't responsible for your graphics card,  thats xorg, but also the Linux distro your using
[17:18] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: well the distros to an extent
[17:19] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: and yes hardware may work much better on another distro, but I think SIS will be a problem for like all of them
[17:19] <Caesi> Hello - could anyone help me with creating a Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 USB Startup?
[17:19] <sebsebseb> !usb | Caesi
[17:19] <Caesi> thanks sebsebseb
[17:19] <martin_l336> sebsebseb: yup know it already... that's why i need an advice.. some people reffering to use PClinuxos and mandriva that's running well
[17:19] <sebsebseb> Caesi: ok your welcome :)
[17:20] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: oh right interesting
[17:20] <Sven12345> hello how do i make my videos on my computer run more smothly and work better, basically what programs do i download to make videos run more smothly
[17:20] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: yeah PC Linux OS may even be the Desktop LInux distro that has the best hardware support at the moment
[17:20] <Matthew_> Hello
[17:20] <step21> Sven12345, get a faster computer or run less programs
[17:20] <KM0201> sebsebseb: really? i totally disagree.. I've got plenty of hardware that won't work w/ PCLOS, but works out of the box w/ Ubuntu
[17:21] <Matthew_> I don't know if this is the appropriate room, however can someone help me with ACPI settings?
[17:21] <Sven12345> step21 haha i know the videos can run more smothly since i also have windows on this very same computer so i want to know which programs can make the videos run equally as smothly as in windows
[17:21] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: also technically its very good, but going into some more details about that here would be off topic.   Mandriva can be good, but kind of pointless doing that one now,  because  a fork for it is on the verge of being made :)
[17:21] <step21> Sven12345, are they flash videos?
[17:21] <sebsebseb> KM0201: well depends on the hardware and how the distro does support
[17:21] <martin_l336> hmm
[17:22] <Sven12345> step21 no mkv videos
[17:22] <sebsebseb> KM0201: quite a lot of hardware that doesn't just work in Ubuntu like wireless and such for example, is likely to just work or be really easy  to have working in other distros such as that one, but right we are getting off topic now
[17:22] <KM0201> Sven12345: i think vlc will play them.
[17:22] <martin_l336> sebsebseb: so based on ur opinion that pclinux is the one who have the best hardware support for now?
[17:22] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: to be honest I don't use that distro, b ut have had in vm, and know someone online, who knows a lot about it, and even does packaging for them
[17:22] <Sven12345> kmo201 yes vlc will play them but i want a smother playing with less grainy picture and less hacking just as it works in windows
[17:23] <Macchia> 7EXIT
[17:23] <step21> Sven12345, then still the same applies, prob. windows has access to hardware decoding and linux doesn't, if you run the proper drivers already there is no program to fix that
[17:23] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: if you try another distro, you may find that your hardware works better
[17:23] <worthapp> hello i am looking for a SIP VoIP client,any suggestions?thanks
[17:23] <KM0201> martin_l336: what problem are you having?
[17:23] <Sven12345> step21 how do i check if i have the most update drivers and how do i update them and how do check which decoders are running
[17:24] <KM0201> worthapp: you mena other than skype?
[17:24] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: Ubuntu isn't like a magic gloove/shoe that fits all users and all computers, if you get what I mean
[17:24] <rajmahendra> any one help me... when ever i open software center it says 26 packages are broken  i try to use sudo apt-get -f install its not working
[17:24] <KM0201> sebsebseb: for that matter, no linux distro is
[17:25] <worthapp> KM0201, yes,i need a *SIP* client,not a peer2peer voip client
[17:25] <martin_l336> sebsebseb: yeah i know that.... just try to maximal my display resolution and 2d acc
[17:25] <sebsebseb> martin_l336: if you watn to talk about other distros a bit,  pm  would be a better place, since we are going off topic
[17:25] <KM0201> worthapp: ekiga  it's in the repositories
[17:25] <aeon-ltd> rajmahendra: try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[17:25] <KM0201> worthapp: there's a few others, but that one comes right off the top of my head
[17:26] <dzan> hi, someone knows a guide on how to best partition your hdd for a ubuntu server install? because if you do it automatic it all becomes one big partition.. not very good
[17:26] <Mortalscan> hi everyone.... i need to setup a proxy on a Ubuntu VPS .. i was thinking squid .. maybe some one knows of a great doc to do this?
[17:26] <worthapp> KM0201, i cant find how to configure it

[17:27] <Sven12345> how do i check if i have the latest nvidia drivers for ubuntu?
[17:27] <jim__> does anybody have and experience of using easyBCD, please pm me, i'm a bit unsure about dual booting
[17:27] <i2v8an> marcel: I think that is a new (as of 10.04) ubuntu security feature
[17:28] <rajmahendra> error where envoured when processing libreoffice
[17:28] <marcel_> how can  i bypass it?
[17:28] <solidus-river> i need help on how to add new users
[17:28] <KM0201> worthapp: linphone maybe?
[17:28] <rajmahendra> aeon-ltd, its giving error saying encountering error while processing libreoffice files
[17:29] <worthapp> KM0201, i'll try it out\
[17:29] <step21> Sven12345, what graphics card do you have? I don't think checking codecs will do anything, there are no better/worse ones
[17:29] <poincare101> Hello everyone. I just got on the ubuntu10.10 live CD and everything loaded just fine, but the wirless comes out as disconnected. What can I do to fix this? (I'm pretty familiar with the linux command line, just new with wireless)

[17:30] <frewsxcv_> anybody familiar with lc3 here?
[17:30] <rajmahendra> anyone help me to solve broken packages of libreoffice issue
[17:31] <step21> run the assistant that allows you to install the 3rd party drivers
[17:31] <alan__> Is there any VNC type of software for linux?
[17:31] <poincare101> anyone for my question?
[17:31] <undecim> poincare101: What question? I just logged
[17:31] <KM0201> alan__: yes.. vnc..lol
[17:32] <i2v8an> cdubya, the number is something about file references
[17:32] <Sven12345> step21 what assistant?
[17:32] <step21> Sven12345, System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
[17:32] <alan__> lol, where would i get it package manager?
[17:32] <poincare101> undecim: yeah. I'll paste it.
[17:32] <KM0201> alan__: well, another option, if you don't want to deal w/ setting up your router, etc.. and it's not for commercial use... use TeamViewer... it's dead nuts simple.
[17:32] <poincare101> undecim: Hello everyone. I just got on the ubuntu10.10 live CD and everything loaded just fine, but the wirless comes out as disconnected. What can I do to fix this? (I'm pretty familiar with the linux command line, just new with wireless)
[17:32] <Sven12345> step21 yes i did that but is that the latest drivers?
[17:32] <trism> !vnc | alan__
[17:32] <step21> Sven12345, there should be a box to check if they aren't installed
[17:33] <KM0201> poincare101: lspci in a terminal and determine yoru wireless chipset
[17:33] <Sven12345> step21 it is allready installed but what i want to know if the latest drivers are installed
[17:33] <undecim> poincare101: What card?
[17:33] <undecim> poincare101: "lspci" for internal, "lsusb" for usb to find the model
[17:33] <worthapp> KM0201, linphone seems to be what i was looking for,i am configuring it right now
[17:33] <step21> Sven12345, yes, update manager will tell you when new versionsa are available
[17:33] <poincare101> undecim: I just built a computer so, I can tell you exactly.
[17:34] <KM0201> worthapp: ok.. hope it works out
[17:34] <Sven12345> step21 i think you dont know what you are talking about
[17:34] <poincare101> poincare101: dlink xtreme n for the desktop
[17:34] <worthapp> KM0201, thanks again
[17:34] <KM0201> poincare101: well, then by all means, share... we don't care what type of card you installed, we need the chipset.
[17:34] <nagesh> trying do a fresh installation from usb, but hdd is not detected. can someone help me?
[17:34] <KM0201> poincare101: it is a internal card, right? or is it USB?
[17:34] <cdubya> i2v8an, any way to suppress that and the permissions output?
[17:35] <poincare101> KM0201: yeah, its internal. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=531
[17:35] <step21> lol
[17:35] <KM0201> poincare101: if you're not going to listen, i'm not going to bother helping you.. I DON"T CARE WHAT THE MODEL IS... we need to know the chipset.. lspci ina terminal
[17:35] <i2v8an> what about just doing ls ?
[17:35] <ThomasBerends2> Hi, anybody here with experience with Wubi ?

[17:36] <vileger> hello. I need some help. I cannot copy any file to windows share with ubuntu 10.10
[17:36] <ThomasBerends2> I installed Ubuntu using the Wubi installer, but when I boot Ubuntu, I get a session like the live-cd, I even have an install button :S (I don't have the CD in my pc, so that isn't the problem)
[17:37] <poincare101> KM0201: what part of it? (sorry if you mentioned it alreadY0
[17:37] <KM0201> poincare101: the wireless device, look through the lspci output, and yous hould be able to identify which onje is your wireless card
[17:37] <i2v8an> vileger, what OS are you using for the share?
[17:37] <solidus-river> nvm got it
[17:37] <undecim> ThomasBerends2: Are your settings saved when you reboot?
[17:37] <trism> alan__: just need: sudo apt-get install conky-all; then read about configuring it in the conky docs http://conky.sourceforge.net/documentation.html
[17:37] <nagesh> trying do a fresh installation of  10.10 from usb, but hdd is not detected. can someone help me
[17:38] <jarocks> so anyone know any nice dropbox esque services i could run off my box?
[17:38] <testi_> how can i disable 3rd mouse-button emulation? Can I do that without editing the xorg.conf - and why isn't the default NOT TO if unspecified in xorg.conf?
[17:38] <ThomasBerends2> undecim: i'm geting help right now ;_)
[17:38] <vileger> hello. I need some help. I cannot copy any file to windows share with ubuntu 10.10. It says  "there was an error copying the file into smb://(etc). invalid argument."
[17:38] <tortoise7>    I see that folks are having way more important/serious issues than myself, however, I would appreciate some pointers or help with getting the KeyBoard Backlight operational on my toshiba satellite notebook...... ubuntu 10.0.4   AMD components, fresh install, no other os on the system...thoughts, suggestions, comments?
[17:39] <poincare101> KM0201: The closest thing I could find is the ethernet controller
[17:39] <poincare101> it doesn't seem to see the wireless...
[17:39] <KM0201> poincare101: and it's a PCI card you installed?
[17:39] <poincare101> KM0201: Yes.
[17:39] <jarocks> Has anyone here used sparkleshare?
[17:39] <KM0201> poincare101: is the machine online, w/o wireless?
[17:40] <poincare101> KM0201: no, but I can try to get it online.
[17:40] <Failican> anyone know a good and cheap wifi adapter for aircracking ect ;)
[17:40] <aeon-ltd> Failican: ask in #backtrack
[17:40] <KM0201> poincare101: han gon just a minute
[17:41] <vileger> hello. I need some help. I cannot copy any file to windows share with ubuntu 10.10. It says "there was an error copying the file into smb://(etc). invalid argument."... Please... I need help
[17:41] <i2v8an> vileger, have you tried doing a google search for 10.10 and the error message yet?
[17:42] <oddy> hey chaps, my sound is all jittery and stuttery, my system is going all slow since i installed 10.10. is this a known issue?
[17:42] <vileger> yeah, i couldn't find anything
[17:42] <poincare101> KM0201: yeah.
[17:43] <vileger> i just saw that someone have the same problem in other versions of ubuntu
[17:43] <KM0201> poincare101: you don't see anything in your lspci, about an "Atheros" card.. cuz google suggests it might have an atheros chipset(which means, intheory, it should work)
[17:44] <nagesh> trying do a fresh installation of  10.10 from usb, but hdd is not detected. can someone help me
[17:44] <i2v8an> vileger, yeah, I have had something similar before.  I don't remember actually doing anything about it, though
[17:44] <i2v8an> -- besides messing with the server side settings
[17:44] <poincare101> KM0201: I'll check again
[17:46] <vileger> i2v8an: I have another ubuntu installation with 10.04 version and works fine
[17:46] <poincare101> KM0201: Nope. no atheros anywhere. Am I missing a driver or something?
[17:47] <KM0201> poincare101: what verison of ubuntu are you using?.. i just saw a link that suggests that should work out of the box.
[17:47] <oddy> is anyone else having trouble with gstreamer making their computer MEGA SLOW on 10.10?
[17:47] <poincare101> KM0201: 10.10, live CD
[17:47] <i2v8an> vileger, most possibly a bug?
[17:48] <vileger> i supossed.
[17:48] <KM0201> poincare101: it looksl ike it's an atheros chipset, and should work "out of the box...   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsDlink#PCI
[17:49] <KM0201> poincare101: unless you've got some weird version that hasn't been reported yet
[17:49] <poincare101> KM0201: any ideas?
[17:49] <KM0201> poincare101: well, you can try NDISwrapper i guess..
[17:49] <poincare101> KM0201: I'll try restarting it.
[17:49] <vileger> I'll keep looking on google...
[17:49] <KM0201> not sure how effective that will be on a live cd
[17:49] <vileger> thanks anyway
[17:49] <KM0201> poincare101: ok
[17:49] <sam_sam> my /sbin has permissions such that nonroot users can execute/modify its contents.Is it normal /default? it contains "init" so if i change its permissions such that non root can not execute them will my system be inaccessible? ( i guess ubuntu doesnt have any root level accounts )
[17:50] <i2v8an> vileger, and here it is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-application/+bug/659854... not that a bug report is helpful. lol
[17:50] <burg> hello. what is the difference between ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso and ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso ?
[17:50] <oddy> burg: unless you are a company, you want the "desktop" one
[17:50] <oddy> burg: the alternate one is for OEMS and for people doing custom installs, 99 times out of 100 you'll want the desktop.
[17:51] <peepingtom> burg: Alternate is a text-mode installer, desktop is much easier
[17:51] <oddy> burg: and what peepingtom said :)
[17:51] <vileger> burg, thanks.
[17:51] <sam_sam> my /sbin has permissions such that nonroot users can execute/modify its contents.Is it normal /default? it contains "init" so if i change its permissions such that non root can not execute them will my system be inaccessible? ( i guess ubuntu doesnt have any root level accounts
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> depends on what you like, I find both ways equally simple
[17:52] <KM0201> peepingtom: not really... Alternate is just as easy... maybe the desktop is less intimidating.. but they both do the same thing, it's how they look while doing it.
[17:52] <i2v8an> no one has mention that the alternate installer can install in machines with low ram, yet
[17:52] <dan2> hey guys
[17:52] <dan2> somehow my "sound/volume control" on my system/taskbar disappeared
[17:52] <dan2> I can't figure out how to add it back
[17:52] <dan2> but several reboots later it's still not there
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> !panelfix | dan2
[17:52] <trism> dan2: right click the panel, add the indicator applet
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> !fixpanel
[17:53] <dan2> ActionParsnip, already did that
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> dan2: cool
[17:53] <dan2> there's no indicator applet for the volume control that I can find
[17:53] <trism> dan2: if that doesn't work, make sure indicator-sound is installed
[17:53] <msl> sam_sam, You mean that your permissions are opened to the point that users can write to the /sbin directory or replace executables?
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> dan2: if you check in the startup items you can add the startup item there
[17:53] <msl> That wouldn't be right...
[17:53] <dan2> ActionParsnip, what does that mean?
[17:53] <poincare101> KM0201: still not working :C
[17:53] <trism> dan2: indicator applet is the name of the applet (there is no separate volume control applet anymore)
[17:54] <msl> Usually a user can read/execute from /sbin though, but on some distros it isn't in the PATH.
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> dan2: edit the startup ites, you can re-enable the item there
[17:54] <poincare101> KM0201: the LED at the back of the card is blinking though
[17:54] <sam_sam> msl:yes, i came to know about it just now as i ran rkhunter
[17:54] <BLZbubba_> in /etc/network/interfaces, is there a way to put a crypted password in the wpa-password line?
[17:54] <BLZbubba_> i really don't want my password in plain text
[17:54] <KM0201> poincare101: can you receive PMs on that client.
[17:54] <alan__> How do i make a folder on the dropdown at the top aka Places?
[17:54] <KM0201> or can you PM me?
[17:55] <sandking> hi
[17:55] <aeon-ltd> hi
[17:55] <sandking> anyone can suggest fan/heat mintoring app?
[17:55] <dan2> trism, I'm not sure how to take indicator applet and convert it to a sound applet
[17:55] <sam_sam> msl:don't think it's safe as i guess /sbin contains  executables that are supposed to be run by root
[17:55] <sam_sam> i dont *
[17:56] <dan2> trism, it just shows me a email message icon and it wants me to setup email accounts and crap like that
[17:56] <sandking> since i installed 10.10 i feel that my netbook runs a little noisier with fans
[17:56] <trism> dan2: you don't convert it to anything, it is part of it, as long as you have indicator-sound installed
[17:56] <peepingtom_> sandking: are you using ubuntu desktop or ubuntu netbook edition?
[17:56] <poincare101> KM0201: I think, yes.
[17:56] <dan2> trism, indicator sound is installed
[17:56] <dan2> trism, so why am I not seeing it?
[17:56] <msl> alan__, If you open Nautilus you can link things on the left hand side
[17:56] <peepingtom_> sandking: UNE uses Unity desktop, which uses Mutter. It has higher GPU requirements
[17:56] <trism> dan2: then run: killall gnome-panel;
[17:56] <sandking> peepingtom_, desktop as there's no 64 bit of netbook
[17:56] <trism> dan2: it should restart and you should see it
[17:57] <cdubya> dan2, I know you said you rebooted several times.....have you tried to do killall gnome-panel to see if it comes up? Even if it doesn't immediately show up on my panel, it does after that
[17:57] <dan2> trism, didn't work
[17:57] <cdubya> oops, trism beat me to it....
[17:57] <dan2> cdubya, didn't work
[17:57] <sam_sam> msl: is that safe ?
[17:57] <alan__> msl: Where is Nautilus located?
[17:57] <i2v8an> sandking, what about pae kernel in notebook version?
[17:57] <Kartagis> how can I extract multi volume .zip files?
[17:57] <testi_> How can I disable 3rd-mouse-button emulation?
[17:57] <trism> dan2: out of curiosity, try running: gnome-volume-control-applet; and see if it appears and works in the notification area
[17:57] <KM0201> alan__: what do you mean, where is it located.. you mean how do you open it?
[17:58] <dan2> trism, that works
[17:58] <sandking> i2v8an, sorry, i'm not geeky enough to understand that :]
[17:58] <fixxxermet> I installed Ubuntu from the alternate CD.  How can I remove all ubuntu / gnome GUI stuff and be left with only the console?
[17:58] <skfin> fixxxermet: You should install ubuntu server edition if you want non-gui installion
[17:58] <trism> dan2: so sound is fine, odd that the volume icon isn't showing up
[17:58] <alan__> KM0201: Like where is it so i can add a folder to there?
[17:58] <msl> sam_sam, I would say that it isn't safe if binaries can be replaced.  But it is normal to be able to execute from /sbin
[17:58] <dan2> trism, so how do I get that item to show up all the time?
[17:58] <sandking> in system monitor i don't see anything using my cpu, but the fans keep rolling :/
[17:59] <KM0201> alan__: just go to places/home  that's nautilus... Nautilus is simply a file browser
[17:59] <msl> alan__, The file browser.  If you open your Home directory, for example.
[17:59] <trism> dan2: if you want to use gnome-volume-control-applet instead, you add it to System/Preferences/Startup Applications, this was the default in karmic and still works
[17:59] <i2v8an> sandking, pae: physical address extension: almost as good as 64bit 4gb < ram support.  netbook installer installed it by default on my machine
[17:59] <skfin> fixxxermet: Otherwise you can use http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde (remove ubuntu there)
[17:59] <fixxxermet> skfin: I don't have physical access to the box right now
[17:59] <sam_sam> msl:changing permissions will make my system inaccessible( as it contains "init") , right?
[17:59] <alan__> What i want to do is, on the drop-down at the top where it says Places, i want a folder there. How can i do this? Just add a folder in /home/usr/?
[18:00] <sandking> i2v8an, but you used netbook edition, or standard?
[18:00] <fixxxermet> thanks skfin
[18:00] <skfin> fixxxermet: Notice that it applies only in 10.10
[18:00] <i2v8an> netbook
[18:00] <duffydack> sandking, ive noticed my i7 laptops fans come on more frequently when doing nothing at all..its usually near silent even when browsing and other minimal stuff.
[18:00] <sandking> i2v8an, in other words - can i just add it now?
[18:00] <msl> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 125704 2010-08-12 18:10 /sbin/init    <-- my perms on init
[18:00] <MrRoboto> anyone here who uses scribus for ubuntu?
[18:00] <msl> Do your permissions match that?
[18:00] <sandking> i2v8an, i was before using mint on 10.04 ubuntu and it was cooler then
[18:01] <sam_sam> msl:if i set  root -> create and delete , others -> list only then ? thats wht i see to make it secure
[18:01] <rek_> hi where's startup file in gnome?
[18:01] <i2v8an> that's funny because as soon as I installed 10.10 my fans are actually running at the right time
[18:02] <sandking> i2v8an, bun can i add this pae now?
[18:02] <Wraithulek> there is any broadcasting program with graphical menu?
[18:03] <i2v8an> sandking, you might already have it.
[18:03] <sandking> i2v8an, how can i check it?
[18:03] <Wraithulek> there is any broadcasting program with graphical menu?
[18:04] <Wraithulek> i hope you understand my lame english
[18:04] <sam_sam> msl: drwxrwxr--   2 root     root      4096 2010-10-10 17:33 sbin
[18:04] <i2v8an> sandking, uname -r.  if it says -generic-pae then you already have it
[18:04] <sandking> i2v8an, generic
[18:04] <sandking> :/
[18:05] <sam_sam> msl: i have changed it to "root -> create and delete , others -> list only" now so it shows those settings
[18:05] <sandking> i2v8an, somebody said that netbook edition was all about gui
[18:05] <sandking> now it seems that it's also about kernel
[18:05] <KM0201> poincare101: are you there?
[18:05] <rek_> hi where's startup file in gnome?
[18:06] <KM0201> rek_: like you want to add something to start on startup?
[18:06] <i2v8an> sandking, it should use the same kernel as the standard version.  I have had to install the pae kernel myself in the past
[18:06] <sandking> i2v8an, oh. ok, thx anyway - got to go
[18:06] <i2v8an> np
[18:07] <ubuntu> Hello everyone. what kernel module does ubuntu use for atheros cards?
[18:07] <ubuntu> I meant wireless cards.
[18:07] <rek_> KM0201:  ssh /etc/init.d/ssh start because it wasn't up when i swithed on the pc but don't know because can't even access now strange...
[18:07] <rek_> sudo
[18:07] <KM0201> poincare202: do you still need help?
[18:07] <poincare202> Yeah.
[18:07] <KM0201> PM me
[18:07] <poincare202> Its still not working.
[18:08] <cahyo> hello
[18:08] <testi_> How can I disable 3rd-mouse-button emulation forever?
[18:10] <kush> hey
[18:10] <kush> any1 online
[18:11] <Misterio> kush: Yes. Hi
[18:11] <phd> hi
[18:11] <Kaco> kush: yes
[18:11] <xeno__> hello everyone
[18:11] <nmvictor> ubuntu does not ask for password when i login. please help
[18:12] <Sickler> i installed via backup dvd created with remastersys and i cannot change my root password, which stinks bc i purposely made it weak at the time, how do i change this, I already tried sudo passwd
[18:12] <i2v8an> sickler, have you tried sudo passwd root yet?
[18:12] <raven> which version of ubuntu used kernel 2.6.15?
[18:13] <i2v8an> raven, 7.10 ?
[18:13] <Dulak> nmvictor: System->Administration->Login Screen has the setting for autologin, you can disable it and then you will have to put a password in to login
[18:14] <kefealo> hello
[18:14] <nmvictor> Dulak: thanks
[18:15] <kenaj> where do I find/install firmware for internet wireless connection?
[18:15] <i2v8an> raven, how about 6.04 ?
[18:15] <nmvictor> i was dissapointed that Maverick is not a long term support distro,im sticking with Lucid for that one reason
[18:16] <Misterio> !lts | nmvictor
[18:16] <Sickler> i2v8an: yes just tried still the default password
[18:16] <suprsonic> anyone using landscape?
[18:16] <Pici> raven: Are you running that right now? You can do lsb_release -a  in a terminal to see the UBuntu version.
[18:16] <Dulak> raven: 'lsb_release -a' should show you all the version info about whatever you are running
[18:16] <i2v8an> sickler, su -c 'passwd' ?
[18:16] <Misterio> nmvictor: Meh, it doesn't sends you info... next LTS is going to be released in 2012
[18:18] <Dulak> nmvictor: I keep LTS on my servers but workstations I upgrade to the newest about a month after a new release to let the worst bugs get ironed out.
[18:18] <Da_Wrecka> Okay, this isn't a request for help. I was asking a couple of nights ago about problems running video with my external monitor set to 1280x1024.
[18:18] <MrRoboto> what is the easiest way to install fonts?
[18:18] <Sickler> i2v8n: attempting now
[18:18] <Da_Wrecka> Turns out the video chip in my netbook, an Intel 945, has a maximum virtual desktop of 2048x2048. Outside this range, 3D acceleration is disabled.
[18:18] <Misterio> Dulak: After a month? I can't one too much :P
[18:18] <Misterio> wait*
[18:18] <leo2007> hi
[18:19] <timmyt> I am using Ubuntu in a virtual machine. How do i make ubuntu see the machine folder i set up on my host? i configured vbox to add the machine folder.
[18:19] <ddilinger> having a wierd problem with my bluetooth headset.  If i connect the headset to my phone it works fine(audio received and sent), if I connect the headset to my 10.04 machine it records just fine, but i have to plug in headphones and switch the output to headphones in padevchooser to get an audio(so, no audio on the headset)
[18:19] <Da_Wrecka> Which nicely explains why I have no problems with 1024x600/1024x768 and I do have problems with 1024x600/1280x1024.
[18:19] <ddilinger> any know where to start debugging the bluetooth for that?
[18:19] <Dulak> MrRoboto: download the font, double click it in the file manager, click the 'install' button in the lower right hand corner of the screen that comes up.
[18:19] <Da_Wrecka> Positioning the external monitor below the internal monitor on the virtual desktop means no problem, because that way it fits within the 2048x2048 constraint.
[18:20] <Dulak> Misterio: That's good, you can help them find the bugs so when I do upgrade I don't have to deal with it.  Impatience does have it's uses.
[18:20] <Sickler> i2v8an: still no luck
[18:20] <Da_Wrecka> And evidently, Totem along with MPlayer and such depend on 3D acceleration
[18:20] <MrRoboto> dulak: thanks, can I choose like 300 fonts at once with this method?
[18:21] <Dulak> MrRoboto: nope, you'd have to copy them wherever that install button does, then update the font cache to pick them up.
[18:21] <wildc4rd_> evening all
[18:21] <glithcd> The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
[18:21] <nmvictor> Dulak: would rather that
[18:21] <blocky> banshee doesn't really give much info when it says network error loading podcast
[18:21] <glithcd> how do i fix that?
[18:22] <ddilinger> glithcd: apt-key
[18:22] <Da_Wrecka> seems I either have to put up with 1024x768 on the external screen, or deal with the confusion of moving the mouse DOWNWARDS to move it to the other screen.
[18:22] <youness> hell world
[18:22] <ddilinger> glithcd: you need to get a copy of the key and add it with apt-key add <file>
[18:23] <glithcd> ddilinger, how do i get the key?
[18:23] <ddilinger> glithcd: from wherever you got the source line for your sources.list
[18:23] <glithcd> ddilinger, jus type that nd it will get the key?
[18:23] <ben_> how do I get the update-manager to keep previous kernel versions?
[18:23] <ddilinger> glithcd: i just joined chat, so dont have your full history :)
[18:23] <nmvictor> !info apt-key
[18:23] <glithcd> ddilinger, is it ok if i pm u?
[18:23] <Dulak> Da_Wrecka: I put the external monitor on top of the internal monitor myself, the way it's laid out on my desk it feels more natural to move up onto the external instead of down.
[18:24] <ddilinger> glithcd: just ask here, generally better because if someone else has same issue its logged
[18:24] <Da_Wrecka> Mmm. But that's you.
[18:24] <nmvictor> !pckg apt-key
[18:24] <Da_Wrecka> My setup, the external monitor is to the right of the netbook
[18:24] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok
[18:24] <nmvictor> !pkg apt-key
[18:24] <Dulak> Da_Wrecka: mine too
[18:24] <ddilinger> nmvictor: its in the main apt package
[18:24] <timmyt> Anyone know how to make my machine folder to my windows 7 os appear on my ubuntu guest?
[18:24] <Da_Wrecka> I might give your way a try then
[18:25] <ubuntuselur> can someone suggest a good command line torrent client please? i want to use it over ssh
[18:25] <collabra> !apt-key
[18:25] <Dulak> Da_Wrecka: it was easier to get used to for me
[18:25] <ddilinger> Da_Wrecka: not sure how your configured, but it is possible to have them side by side(at least, on a pc with 2 screens, havn't ever done a laptop)
[18:26] <WinstonSmith> hi everybody :D. my upgrade drom 10.04 to 10.10 hangs since over 1 hour at "setting new software channels". any ideas? can i safely close it by force & retry?
[18:26] <Dulak> ubuntuselur: rtorrent is a terminal client
[18:26] <Da_Wrecka> ddilinger: Yes, it is. But if I do that, the virtual desktop exceeds the 2048x2048 limit imposed by the video chip in my netbook
[18:26] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[18:26] <ddilinger> Da_Wrecka: ahh, i get you.  ya thats a bummer
[18:26] <Dulak> ddilinger: he's stuck stacking up and down because of the resolutions
[18:26] <EvaLuaTe> when I try to run VMware on ubuntu 10.10 I get an error that it can't build a kernel module and this is what its log says: http://pastebin.com/H9MmUstY
[18:27] <Da_Wrecka> And while it IS possible to do that despite the hardware limitation, the result is that 3D acceleration is disabled
[18:27] <ddilinger> having a wierd problem with my bluetooth headset.  If i connect the headset to my phone it works fine(audio received and sent), if I connect the headset to my ubuntu 10.04 machine it records just fine, but i have to plug in headphones and switch the output to headphones in padevchooser to get an audio(so, no audio on the headset).  Anyone know where to start debugging this?
[18:27] <Dulak> Da_Wrecka: it's brutal without 3d, might as well be on the framebuffer in 1995
[18:27] <nbubuntu> hi , I need some help , how do I set my folder option icon on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[18:27] <Da_Wrecka> So I either use 1024x768 on my external monitor, or I need to stack one on top of the other virtually, otherwise no 3D acceleration and no playable video.
[18:28] <ddilinger> or just use the external monitor
[18:28] <ddilinger> can the internal be disabled?
[18:28] <Da_Wrecka> Also an option, but I prefer to have two screens
[18:28] <ddilinger> well, your laptop doesn't like your preference :P
[18:28] <Da_Wrecka> Once you go dual-head, it's hard to go back
[18:28] <ddilinger> i have a 23" horiz and 2x21" in vertical :)
[18:29] <Da_Wrecka> (the VGA monitor I'm using, I was actually using on my gaming PC. Unfortunately that machine is deader than disco.)
[18:29] <kenaj> help, cant make wireless internet connection. 'puter says "no firmware" Can someone help?
[18:29] <glaucous> How long to you think I'd take to fsck a 1 TB partition on a 5200 RPM drive?
[18:29] <ddilinger> glaucous: lunch time
[18:29] <nbubuntu> hi , I need some help , how do I set my folder option icon on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[18:29] <Dulak> glaucous: at least an hour
[18:29] <Da_Wrecka> So I thought 'sod it' and hooked one of the screens up to my netbook
[18:30] <appi_uppi> Hi, While ubuntu 10.04 running on desktop PC suddenly pushes blink screen and then reboots.
[18:30] <Gnea> appi_uppi: while doing what?
[18:30] <glithcd> ddilinger, i even keep getting disconnected from here
[18:31] <EvaLuaTe> any idea what the problem could be or how I could run vmware?
[18:31] <glaucous> Dulak, ddilinger, oh god, 400 GB was quite fast although on a 7200 RPM
[18:31] <ddilinger> glithcd: hmm, that has to be tangential to the apt-key problem
[18:31] <glithcd> ddilinger, did u get everything else i entered?
[18:31] <ddilinger> glithcd: no, nothing actually
[18:31] <glithcd> ddilinger, well please help me fix it
[18:31] <appi_uppi> Gnea, any activity such as either browsing, etc
[18:31] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok ill re-enter it
[18:31] <SpaceBass> hey folks, I have a remote box that I want to make a persistant ssh connection back to a server I have - IE if the power goes out, when it reboots, it re-establishes the connection.... is there a more elegant way to do that than a bash script called by cron?
[18:31] <glaucous> Dulak, ddilinger, but I guess it's wise to fsck the backup drive once a while?
[18:31] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: check vmware.com support forum to see if they have an update-any patch yet
[18:32] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: a tunnel or what does the ssh connection do?
[18:32] <jMyles> Has anybody discovered a quick fix for bug 660649 (btrfs not mounting)?
[18:32] <SpaceBass> ddilinger, yeah, a reverse tunnel
[18:32] <timmyt> thank you for your help.
[18:32] <timmyt> found out the solution on the net
[18:32] <Dulak> glaucous: if you can unmount it and fsck it while doing other stuff sure
[18:32] <Gnea> appi_uppi: heat buildup perhaps?
[18:32] <glithcd> ddilinger, i jus upgraded to 10.10(which btw is horrible so far) and i went to update nd its giving me msgs like "Unable to connect to ppa.launchpad.net:http: Err http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick/main i386 Packages " and the other one i posted
[18:32] <stefg> SpaceBass: /etc/rc.local
[18:32] <appi_uppi> Gnea, no not really
[18:32] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: for a tunnel, i create 2 connections, local->remote and local->remote 22,  then a cron that runs once a minute and checks if it can use the local->remote 22 to get a ls, if not it re-opens both tunnels
[18:32] <Gnea> appi_uppi: how do you figure?
[18:32] <SpaceBass> stefg, I get how rc.local would work at boot, but not for connection drops, or a server reboot, etc
[18:33] <glaucous> Dulak, that does sound perfect. Guess I can turn automatic fsck off in fstab on those partitions (not root and /home).
[18:33] <WinstonSmith> hi everybody :D. my upgrade drom 10.04 to 10.10 hangs since over 1 hour at "setting new software channels". any ideas? can i safely close it by force & retry?
[18:33] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: so, forward local 10000-> remote 3306 and local 10001->remote 22
[18:33] <glithcd> ddilinger, this one too "E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[18:33] <glithcd> "
[18:33] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, I though someone would have encountered this problem before and could adive me where to look directly :)
[18:33] <SpaceBass> ddilinger, got it! thanks and to reestablishe the tunnels you are using cron and a script?
[18:33] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: if port 10001 cant make a connection, it re-opens both.  The check is run by cron once a minute or so
[18:33] <appi_uppi> Gnea, even for the first time login, I am not able view mouse pointer. I have lock and unlock to view pointer.
[18:33] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: haven't touched 10.10 yet (this is one of the reasons lol), but if I was going to look for a solution, that's where I'd go
[18:34] <stefg> SpaceBass: i see. so since you need to listen to the heartbeat you'll have some sort of cron job anyway
[18:34] <SpaceBass> ddilinger, and assuming you are using key pairs?
[18:34] <ddilinger> SpaceBass: yea, using a key with no password
[18:34] <appi_uppi> Gnea, may be compatibility issues?
[18:34] <SpaceBass> ddilinger, and stefg thanks!
[18:34] <Darxus> Unicode isn't working on one of my two Lucid desktop machines.  Any pointers?  Unicode is showing up garbled in gnome-terminal.
[18:34] <BluesKaj> glithcd, when upgrading of the internet always delete any ppas in the sources.list first, they interfere with upgrade process and aren't vaid repos with the new OS
[18:34] <SpaceBass> I just set up a space box to sit in the dmz and act as the ssh server, feeling like its a fairly savvy solution
[18:34] <glaucous> Is there a way to skip fsck on boot? Doesn't seem like fastboot in grub helped.
[18:34] <ddilinger> glithcd: one sec, there is a specific procedure for ppi apt keys
[18:35] <Darxus> Actually, unicode 2014 (long dash) is showing up as "--" when I type it in locally.
[18:35] <_Len> guys, Im using Maverick and when I plug the headset it doesnt make any sound. Can you help me?
[18:35] <glithcd> ddilinger, do tell, please
[18:35] <Gnea> appi_uppi: perhaps... when the system locks, can you use sysrq to restart or do you have to press the power/reset botton?
[18:35] <Darxus> It's actually getting converted to two charcters.
[18:36] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, ok, I found a patch on their site that seems to work. Here's the link should you be interested: wget http://www.sputnick-area.net/scripts/vmware7.1.1-patch-kernel-2.6.35.bash
[18:36] <Noctis_Lux> Hi.
[18:36] <ddilinger> glithcd: there is also a chance that your ppa packages wont be compatibile with 10.10
[18:36] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: awesome, cheers
[18:36] <ddilinger> glithcd: the command is sudo apt-get adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <KEYID>
[18:36] <ddilinger> glithcd: but you need the id :)
[18:36] <mbroeker> Do you know why egroupware is not currently in maverick?
[18:36] <appi_uppi> Gnea, I mean, for the first login I am not able to view mouse pointer. But When I manually lock the screen and later unlock it will make mouse pointer visible on the desktop.
[18:37] <_Len> guys, Im using Maverick and when I plug the headset it doesnt make any sound. Can you help me?
[18:37] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, and the exact page where I found it, should someone else ask, so you can advise them where to look: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1608187 :)
[18:37] <rrtty> hi
[18:37] <Gnea> appi_uppi: ooooooooh.... what kind of mouse?
[18:37] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, and I thank you for you suggestion :)
[18:37] <glithcd> ddilinger, i dont even know how to get any of that
[18:37] <glithcd> ddilinger, im kinda lost in all this
[18:37] <Darxus> rxvt-unicode isn't correctly displaying unicode either.
[18:38] <ddilinger> glithcd: what is the actual line in sources.list
[18:38] <appi_uppi> Gnea, serial, samsung pleomax
[18:38] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: no problem, make sure it works and then I'll consider making a global announcement
[18:38] <glithcd> ddilinger, would u be willing or interested in doing it for me?
[18:38] <Gnea> appi_uppi: what computer accepts serial mice anymore?
[18:38] <EvaLuaTe> Gnea, yeah, it works nicely
[18:38] <ddilinger> glithcd: i can prob fix it in 5 minutes with ssh :P
[18:38] <Gnea> EvaLuaTe: excellent.
[18:39] <ddilinger> glithcd: although, i usually send a bill for 2 hours for 2 minutes of work :P
[18:39] <mbroeker> btw, maverick has no support for oss emulation, phppgadmin needs lots of tweaks to work, php seems not compatible anymore to most web apps. will it be fixed?
[18:39] <EvaLuaTe> vmware just finished installing the kernel modules and runs nicely :)
[18:39] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok, so your gonna send me a bill??..lol
[18:39] <ddilinger> glithcd: yea, i'll address it to irc.freenode.net :P
[18:39] <glithcd> ddilinger, hahaha
[18:39] <glithcd> ddilinger, i dont think i have ssh setup
[18:39] <appi_uppi> Gnea, Its old desktop PC. 2.4 GHZ, Pentium 4 with 512 mb RAM
[18:40] <nbubuntu> I think I fix it , solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468099
[18:40] <nbubuntu> Thanks bye :)
[18:40] <glithcd> ddilinger, i was thinking more along the lines of using teamviewer
[18:40] <BluesKaj> ddilinger, hmm hqnd holding is at a premium here these days , we seem to have quite few who aren't willing to learn.
[18:40] <ddilinger> glithcd: run 'find /etc/apt -type f | xargs grep ppa`
[18:40] <glithcd> ddilinger, also my internet is severely slow with 10.10
[18:40] <BluesKaj> hand holding that is
[18:41] <appi_uppi> Gnea, I do have laptop. But I am yet install ubuntu 10.04. Presently I testing it on Desktop Personal Computer to check the performance and it is awesome.
[18:41] <Sickler> i just added sensor-applet and i cant find it when trying to add it to the panel
[18:41] <ukine_work>  /j #asterisk
[18:41] <kenaj> bye
[18:41] <BluesKaj> oh well, time yo take break...yard work
[18:41] <Gnea> appi_uppi: okay, can you get a USB mouse?
[18:41] <koliberekswidnic> hello
[18:42] <appi_uppi> Gnea, sure I can
[18:42] <Gnea> appi_uppi: okay, try that and see if the mouse lags still
[18:42] <ddilinger> having a wierd problem with my bluetooth headset.  If i connect the headset to my phone it works fine(audio received and sent), if I connect the headset to my ubuntu 10.04 machine it records just fine, but i have to plug in headphones and switch the output to headphones in padevchooser to get an audio(so, no audio on the headset).  Anyone know where to start debugging this?
[18:42] <appi_uppi> sure
[18:43] <ddilinger> it doesn't just happen on one ubuntu machine, this happens on both my 10.04 machines
[18:43] <soroush_> guys g++ is installed on my pc , how i can to run it and compile c++ file??
[18:43] <ddilinger> one is a fresh install, i hoped it would work out of the box but still no :(
[18:43] <trism> soroush_: g++ -o output_file input_file.cpp
[18:44] <xixor> !ati
[18:44] <William> hello
[18:44] <William> anyone can help me?
[18:44] <glithcd> ddilinger, omg everything is sooo slow=(
[18:44] <stefg> ddilinger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto i think you'll need  a parameter for your audio card
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> William: not if you don't ask
[18:44] <William> i cant set my ubuntu resolution display to 1024x768
[18:44] <stefg> !fixres
[18:44] <ddilinger> stefg: even though the bluetooth shouldn't be going through the pc audio?
[18:45] <Gnea> William: what can you set it to?
[18:45] <ddilinger> stefg: because the pc audio works fine
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> William: run: lspci | grep -i vga ,websearch the output to find guides
[18:45] <soroush_> where copy cpp file to run by g++?
[18:45] <stefg> ddilinger: i think the "sound chip" will still manage the audio routing
[18:45] <SaRy> ddilinger, have you checked the 'Community Documentation ' it's useful though
[18:45] <ddilinger> stefg: hmm, well i'll browse through it, see what i find
[18:45] <Sickler> i just added sensor-applet and i cant find it when trying to add it to the panel
[18:46] <stefg> ddilinger: even if it doesn't do the D>A conversion
[18:46] <ddilinger> SaRy: i browsed through, but didn't find much relating to bluetooth besides 'it doesn't connect at all
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: anywhere, the compiler gets added to $PATH
[18:46] <ddilinger> SaRy: seems half working bluetooth is an oddity :)
[18:46] <soroush_> ActionParsnip cpp is drive e
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: if you have build essential installed you can compile from anylocation
[18:47] <soroush_> now how i can compile it?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: there is no "drive e" in linux
[18:47] <William> hi
[18:47] <glithcd> ddilinger, i cant get pastebin to work so i can post the output of that last command..
[18:47] <glithcd> ddilinger, and every page takes like 10 yrs to load..
[18:47] <ubuntu> ok, someone please enlighten me as to how I can verify that the install disc is OK... There is no option anymore when I boot from disc...
[18:47] <William> anyone can help me?
[18:47] <ddilinger> glithcd: yea, pastbin it
[18:47] <William> i cant set my resolution display for my lappy
[18:47] <ddilinger> glithcd: sounds like you should just install 10.04 again :)
[18:47] <soroush_> what do u mean?
[18:47] <trism> soroush_: this is really offtopic for this channel, try the guide here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C++_Programming/Examples/Hello_world
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: you need to mount the partition containing the code. Then compile it
[18:47] <soroush_> i have 5 drive
[18:48] <ddilinger> glithcd: i'm not familiar with any way to backport an already upgraded system though
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: windows incorrectly names partitions as drives
[18:48] <soroush_> ok
[18:48] <ubuntu> !verify
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> soroush_: maybe but you could have 3 partitions oneach and windows would show 15 "drives" when in reality there are 5 drives and 15 partitions
[18:48] <svm_invictvs> Heya.  What's the package that has the synaptics touchpad driver?
[18:49] <William> can anyone help me how to change my ubuntu resolution display ?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> svm_invictvs: its part of a standard install xserver-xorg-input-synaptic (I believe)
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> William: I told you how to find guides using the lspci command
[18:49] <ubuntu> this is RIDICULOUS... why the hell can I not check for errors on the LIVE CD anymore????  Nice one Canonical... 8/
[18:50] <svm_invictvs> ActionParsnip: Really
[18:50] <William> sorry i dont get it
[18:50] <svm_invictvs> ?
[18:50] <William> because im disconnecting just now
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: you can
[18:50] <svm_invictvs> ActionParsnip: Is thre an application that can adjust the settings?
[18:50] <_Len> !sound
[18:50] <William> can you repeat /
[18:50] <glithcd> ddilinger, thats what im trying to do but my internet is so crappy in 10.10
[18:50] <glithcd> ddilinger, this is making me soo mad, i almost want to jus delete 10.10
[18:50] <ubuntu> ActionParsnip, care to share?
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> svm_invictvs: sure: dpkg -l |grep syna
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: if you lose the pathetic attitude, sire
[18:51] <ddilinger> ubuntu: what do you mean you cant check for errrors?
[18:51] <scribe> Hey guys, I just updated to 10.10.  What happened to my copy and paste?
[18:51] <ddilinger> ubuntuselur: md5sum the recorded disk and compare
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntu: when the screen with the keyboard and stickman shows, press spacebar and you will see the old style menu
[18:51] <scribe> no highlight copy and middle click paste
[18:51] <srj> plop
[18:52] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, the attitude stems from someone who has computer skills struggling thanks to Canonical's 'make it simple' ethos... If I find it diffocult, n00bs will find it impossible
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntu: just because you don't know its there doesn't always mean it doesn't exist
[18:52] <srj> Hi. Im trying to figure out which /dev/file is my IR reciever that come with my laptop. please help
[18:52] <ddilinger> scribe: lol, i love that feature and people have been trying to remove it for 10 years because its not 'like windows'
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: it can still be asked mpore
[18:52] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, but I'll refrain... shoot
[18:52] <scribe> how do I get my X11 copy and paste back?  Ubuntu isn't windows!
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> More elequently
[18:52] <William> ActionParsnip : hi.. when i try lspci command
[18:52] <William> this is what i get
[18:52] <William> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[18:53] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, how might one go about verifying live cd, aka check for errors in every other previous version of Ubuntu since time began ;0)
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> William: ok then you will most likely need an xorg.conf file, its the only way I've seen those fly
[18:53] <scribe> ddilinger, they didn't remove it right?  There's some stupid option to make it right again, right?
[18:53] <KM0201> William: those devices suck under Linux(at least In my experience)
[18:53] <William> yes i know , but i would like to try it
[18:53] <ddilinger> scribe: yea, i think its an xorg option but a quick google isn't turning one up
[18:53] <William> ok where should i put this xorg.conf ?
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: same way, its just hidden behind a dumb splash in newer versions
[18:53] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, reason I ask is gparted and software centre have both crashed in live cd environment
[18:53] <fireinspace> dubious to install
[18:54] <leo2007`> hi
[18:54] <captainc> What's the best way to proxy only certain application through a vpnc tunnel?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> William: you'll need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:54] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, never had to remove dumb splash before... esc?
[18:54] <glithcd> ddilinger, and pastebin is not working correctly for me, it keeps wanting me to save a file call download.php instead of actually pasting anything
[18:54] <glithcd> ddilinger, is there another service that i can use?
[18:54] <Serraphyn> I just did a kernel upgrade via update manager and now my video keeps restarting in low graphics mode, can anyone help me?
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: any key will do, I use space
[18:54] <scribe> ddilinger, why do they have to screw with things! :)  I didn't ask for it to be turned off. :)  Thanks for the hint.  I'll look
[18:55] <glithcd> ddilinger, i dont know what to do..
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: its also how to access the memory test
[18:55] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, 'dumb splash'... your words, not mine... I agree though
[18:55] <ddilinger> glithcd: download a livecd on another pc perhaps
[18:55] <firewalker22> Does anyone out there know where I could find a decent guide to configure nagios3 on ubuntu 10?
[18:55] <ddilinger> glithcd: it sounds like everything broke on upgrade,  a fresh 10.10 or 10.04 install is probably in order
[18:55] <glithcd> ddilinger, dammit.
[18:55] <William> ActionParsnip, when i try ur command , this file is a new conf file. so where should i get this conf file?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> William: you will see a blank file, you can now websearch your output of lspci to find guides and xorg.conf files. You should rebootto test
[18:55] <glithcd> ddilinger, i didnt want to loose everything i have done in this ubuntu
[18:56] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, I'll reboot and give it a once over.... I'm having to upgrade from Jaunty thanks to EOL... 80/
[18:56] <William> ok
[18:56] <William> after i paste the source
[18:56] <William> i just reboot?
[18:56] <glithcd> ddilinger, but i guess i have no choice
[18:56] <ddilinger> glithcd: tar up /etc, and your /home is on a seperate partition anyways right?
[18:56] <glithcd> ddilinger, fuck.
[18:56] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, cheers though, appreciate it
[18:56] <aeon-ltd> firewalker22: not much but this should get you started https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Nagios3
[18:56] <ddilinger> glithcd: also do a dpkg --get-selections > packagelist
[18:56] <glithcd> ddilinger, no its not.
[18:56] <ddilinger> glithcd: well, in the future /home always goes on its own partition :)
[18:56] <maquis> I updated my desktop (nvidia box) to maverick, and now I can't get X to come up.  I keep ending up with just a blank screen and I have to reboot forcefully (via ssh) in order to fix it (killing X doesn't do anything, as X is in a bad state)
[18:56] <srj> Hi, Sorry for the cross-talk, but can someone help me figure out which /dev/file is my IR reciever that come with my laptop. thanks
[18:56] <DASPRiD> in the future, /home is in the "cloud" ;)
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> William: if the file doesn't yield a desktop, hold shift and boot to recovery root console and run: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old ,then reboot
[18:57] <glithcd> ddilinger, but then i would have to partition my hd
[18:57] <glithcd> ddilinger, i try to stay away from partitioning
[18:57] <ddilinger> glithcd: not sure how you would proceede, there is a way to resize ext partitions
[18:57] <TER0RR> hello..
[18:57] <ddilinger> glithcd: well, if you dont have partitions then you cant re-install without losing everything
[18:57] <fireinspace> ActionParsnip, if they intend on hiding these things they should make it obvious there are more advanced options accessible via keypress - just a thought
[18:57] <William> ok i wil try
[18:57] <ddilinger> glithcd: with a 10G / and everything else on /home, you can reinstall any time
[18:57]  * napster good night to all
[18:57] <whitewizard> hello
[18:57] <glithcd> ddilinger, ill try doin that then
[18:58]  * sresu says goodnight to napster
[18:58] <firewalker22> I am having trouble getting the ports of my router to be recongnized by nagios3 when I activate the commands in switch.cfg that are supposed to monitor the port-1 and reboot nagios it says there is a configuration error
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> William: you'll need to save the file before rebooting but yes. Good displays and decent video chips work together to see what res can be shown. In your case you need to tell the OS what's what
[18:58] <glithcd> ddilinger, i think im jus gonna delete 10.10, then reinstall
[18:58] <ddilinger> glithcd: probably the easiest solution
[18:58] <ddilinger> glithcd: if you have another pc make a tar of /etc and back that up, and also dpkg --get-selections
[18:58] <glithcd> ddilinger, so seriously i only need 10 gigs in the file system?
[18:58] <ddilinger> glithcd: 20 if you want, but generally / doesn't take up much space
[18:58] <glaucous> I'm not sure if fsck is running or not. At boot I see "EXT4-fs (sdc5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)". And after that nothing happens. Although i happens on two other partitions as well.
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: if you look at the graphic its quite clear. Press the keyboard for human interaction ;). It is kinda cryptic
[18:59] <ddilinger> glaucous: go with 20 to be safe,  i've use 4.4G on this pc
[18:59] <glithcd> ddilinger, i hope i can figure out how to delete/reinstall everything
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> fireinspace: did you md5 test the iso before you burned it too?
[18:59] <maquis> I updated my desktop (nvidia box) to maverick, and now I can't get X to come up.  I keep ending up with just a blank screen and I have to reboot forcefully (via ssh) in order to fix it (killing X doesn't do anything, as X is in a bad state)
[18:59] <glithcd> ddilinger, i usually have a buddy of mine helping me
[19:00] <sresu> I installed Ubuntu Lucid initially on my sysyem. To change it to Kubuntu I used the following commands - < sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get remove liborbit2 >. Now I want to have Ubuntu alone. What should be the right commands that will remove Kubuntu completely?
[19:00] <ddilinger> glithcd: well, dpkg --get-selections | grep install will get a list of all your packages
[19:00] <dimbos> hello guys
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> maquis: remove the proprietary driver then reboot to use the open driver then reinstall the proprietary driver
[19:00] <ddilinger> glithcd: then you can apt-get install that package list later
[19:00] <sandking> i tried to remove default keyring but it tells me that there's no .gnome2 dir!
[19:00] <sandking> where could it be stored ?
[19:00] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok
[19:01] <maquis> ActionParsnip: do you know off the top of your head where the driver is?  is it going to be in /lib/firmware?
[19:01] <Richie086> sandking: under your home folder?
[19:01] <scribe> Arg!  I can't work with copy/paste broken!  Who is responsible for this crap?!
[19:01] <glithcd> dpkg --get-selection just enter that in terminal?
[19:01] <ddilinger> scribe: when you figure it out post a bug against 10.10 for it
[19:01] <sandking> Richie086: ah. i thought that in main folder
[19:01] <Richie086> so /home/sandking/.gnome2
[19:01] <ddilinger> scribe: i guarantee your not the only one with that issue :)
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> sresu: kubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage and will only remove itself if you use that method. It does not remove the other packages it installs
[19:01] <glithcd> ddilinger, just enter this in terminal? dpkg --get-selection
[19:01] <rubbs> I'm trying to find out why my terminal is *NOT* beeping at me. I'm using screen and when someone pings me on irssi I don't get a "ding" sound. I've double check to see if visual bell is turned on, and it's not. It's set to audio bell. Anyone got any ideas?
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> maquis: for what?
[19:02] <Richie086> sandking: if you are not seeing .gnome2 in your home folder try ls -lh | grep .gnome2
[19:02] <maquis> ActionParsnip: nvidia
[19:02] <scribe> ddilinger, thanks for being supportive and sympathizing with me.  I will.
[19:02] <jamil_1> Hi, I have Kubuntu 10.10 and software upgrade from Kpackage kit gives a 403 error while update goes smoothly in the terminal
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> rubbs: sudo modprobe pcspkr ,may do it
[19:02] <Richie086> . means it will be hidden usually when you list the contents of the dir
[19:02] <ddilinger> glithcd: `dpkg --get-selections` lists all the packages, `dpkg --get-selections | grep '<tab>install$'` will get the list of installed packages (replace <tab> with Ctrl-V tab)
[19:02] <sresu> ActionParsnip: I said I used those command to install Kubuntu :)
[19:02] <maquis> ActionParsnip: I had used the hardware tool in 10.04 to add the driver
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> maquis: remove the packages using apt-get
[19:02] <sandking> Richie086: no, it's there. just the keyring file was named differently
[19:03] <Richie086> sandking: oh is it working now?
[19:03] <othniel> ubuntu 10.10 is perfect
[19:03] <glithcd> ddilinger, ok great thx
[19:03] <sresu> ActionParsnip: Now, how can I remove Kubuntu and install Ubuntu alone?
[19:03] <maquis> ActionParsnip: ok... i'll do that.  thanks!
[19:03] <sandking> i see login.keyring instead of default.keyring
[19:03] <dimbos> i got a trouble with ubuntu 10.10... sometimes it changes keyboard layouts randomly... what should i do?
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> sresu: I believe if you remove kde-core it will force the removeoff the kde apps
[19:03] <sandking> i suppose it's the same?
[19:03] <othniel> anyone using BURG?
[19:03] <Richie086> sandking: can you rename the file?
[19:03] <ddilinger> glithcd: `dpkg --get-selections | grep '<tab>install$' | cut -d '<tab>' -f 1` finally puts that list without the 'install' word at the end so it can be done with cat <filename> | sudo xargs apt-get intsall
[19:03] <aeon-ltd> !anyone | othniel
[19:03] <glithcd> othniel, burg is awesome.
[19:03] <Richie086> sandking: should not be an issue
[19:04] <The_Snake> hey there... can anyone tell me how to disable vsync? because it's messing somethings here.. sometimes computer gets stuck..
[19:04] <nobarking> is Ubuntu built on Debian stable with Ubuntu's own package updates & patches?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> maquis: you can listthe installed packages with nvidia in and remove them
[19:04] <rubbs> ActionParsnip: I'm on a laptop without a physical system speaker. It used to use the Ubuntu drum before I upgraded to 10.10. is modpcskr for physical pc speakers?
[19:04] <mawst> othniel, yes
[19:04] <mawst> Good stuff.
[19:04] <sresu> ActionParsnip: There is no package of that name..
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> rubbs: not sure then
[19:04] <sandking> Richie086: bareword not allowed while strict subs in use...
[19:04] <Pici> nobarking: 10.04 LTS was built off of stable, but generally we sync from unstable.
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> nobarking: pretty much, and documentation as well
[19:05] <rubbs> ActionParsnip: ok, I'll try a few more things. thanks for your help
[19:05] <Jordan_U> Pici: *testing
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> sresu: dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[19:05] <sandking> Richie086: removing it should not make anything bad, right?
[19:05] <Richie086> sandking: what are u doing in order to get that error?
[19:05] <Pici> Jordan_U: er, right,
[19:05] <sresu> ActionParsnip: Nvidia? Was that for me?
[19:05] <Richie086> sandking: removing what?  the keyring file?

[19:07] <Pici> sresu: Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome
[19:07] <Dulak> ddilinger: that's a lot of work, you can just feed that list verbatim to dpkg --set-selections and then run dselect to install the entire list in one go
[19:07] <Richie086> sandking: check pm
[19:07] <sandking> Richie086: well, i removed it anyway.
[19:07] <sandking> ;]

[19:11] <charmander33> Hello, I have a problem in a fresh 10.10, an ATI 9200 R200 have this performance: 422 frames in 5.0 seconds = 84.366 FPS, is it normal?

[19:11] <The_Snake> hey there... can anyone tell me how to disable vsync in radeon drivers? because it's messing somethings here.. sometimes computer gets stuck..
[19:11] <SaRy> imac, uGet , Downloader for X , SKDownloader .
[19:11] <imac> sary thnx :)
[19:12] <rawky> Hello all, anyone have to enter keychain twice after upping to 10.10?
 thats because of the vsync, the new kernel automaticly activates the vsync, so it's normal to be 84~85FPS if your monitor refresh rate is 85HZ
[19:14] <srj> Hi. Im trying to figure out which /dev/file is my IR reciever that come with my laptop. please help
[19:14] <imac>  is der ny way to bypass the proxy connection dying with censoring suggest me some software like your freedom for ubuntu
[19:14] <charmander33> The_Snake: how can i disable it?
[19:14] <eskofd> the new kernel causes screen flickering, is it because of that vsync thing? couldn't use it and have to use the older kerner now
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: unless you turn it off
[19:14] <djzn> hi folks, is "strongness" a word at all, in any case?
[19:14] <imac> 1
[19:14] <rawky> sure it's a word
 The_Snake: how can i disable it? ---- thats what im tring to find out here too
[19:14] <SaRy> dimbos, !see bug 629503
[19:14] <gol10dr> Any ideas how to reset the updates warning in 10.10 when you log in?
[19:15] <djzn> rawky: isn't "strength" used instead of it?
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> djzn: its a bit crass but it should be ok
[19:15] <imac> djzn :D
[19:15] <charmander33> where is xorg.conf or similar here? why is not at /etc/X11 ?
[19:15] <rawky> djzn: maybe yu're right
[19:15] <djzn> ActionParsnip: it is grammar incorrent, right?
 Yes but how do i turn it off? how do i turn vsync off?
[19:15] <imac> haha
[19:15] <jurgen> is there a channel for questions about mdadm?
[19:15] <djzn> I am just checking this because a professor just came with this today
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> djzn: anglasizing words like that isn't gramatically graceful but should be acceptable imho
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: depends on the video chip
[19:16] <Gnea> !raid | jurgen
[19:16] <dimbos> Sary thanx, but it didn't help :(
[19:16] <mbeierl> anyone know how to migrate all my tags and such from f-spot to shotwell?
[19:16] <mernilio> hi all!
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: nvidia-settings can beused for nvidia cards to turn it off easily
[19:16] <djzn> ActionParsnip: I know... however, anyone who writes "strongness" on a class, it is incorret, right
[19:16] <Gnea> jurgen: could try #raid
[19:16] <Pici> jurgen: #ubuntu-server may be able to help as well.
[19:16] <iMac> .
[19:16] <mernilio> and i salute you!
[19:16] <SaRy> dimbos, i know ..:S
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> djzn: i'd say incorrect as it should be worded better
 if you want xorg to be on etc/x11 u have to reconfigure it and than move the - xorg.conf.new file to that folder with name xorg.conf and than the X will start using that file
[19:17] <dimbos> Sary mocking me? :)
[19:17] <djzn> ActionParsnip: what i mean is... .people get the meaning, but should never be written in anything like a newspaper or such thing
[19:18] <Maahes> jurgen: also the wikipedia page for mdadm is a quick reference, with extra sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mdadm
[19:18] <Pici> djzn: I'd say that its not Ubuntu related and should be answered in ##english
[19:18] <aeon-ltd> !ot | djzn
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> djzn: sure in casual stuff it should be fine. Published articles would be laughed at
 my chip is an ATI IGP 9100 - and im using the radeon drivers
[19:19] <hackamore> new to ubuntu server
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: not sure there. I avoid ati like Paris Hilton avoids talent. If they have a gui it may be in there
[19:19] <mernilio> melb you know.. i have learned the biggest aussi towns as in an uppside spade.sidney, peart and .. i dont know..
[19:19] <SaRy> lol
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: if not then you'll need an xorg.conf to set vsync off
[19:19] <Pici> !ot | mernilio
[19:20] <mernilio> alice spring and darwin! :-)
 the only "kind off GUI" is the driconf and i can not disable it there

[19:20] <brick_> I have a Video Blue Ray file, I want to convert it to ISO with Devede, Will that file convert to DVD so it'll play on my DVD player?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: then i'd get searching, if you don't have an xorg.conf then you can just have the option in there and the rest will be done by udev etc
[19:21] <mernilio> btw. i dont like you ubutnu people trashing me!
 i have the xorg.conf file, just don't know what command to disable vsync
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> mernilio: stay ontopic and you'll be fine :)
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> The_Snake: time to warm up those search engines then
[19:21] <mernilio> for ick, should be fucko like RMS would have said!

[19:25] <Maahes> brick_: I think you're better off looking for forums on devede, doing strange things with iso's and getting them to work with your dvd player are usually pretty finnicky things to do, and probably beyond the scope of expertise here.

[19:35] <fireinspace> not that it should matter
[19:35] <oss1981> is there any manual for bt tools
[19:35] <fireinspace> giampaolo, are you using flashplugin-nonfree?
[19:36] <danharris83> yes i have it in the help files it is called a small bash script and i have to install it for it to create the reletive folders for my server .  the info is here im just not sure how to do it   http://cytec.us/tools/repo/help.html

[19:36] <munshi>  i cannot seem to setup vodafone internet stick k 3520
[19:36] <mnoyce> Hi. Has anyone else had issues with tool-tips in Ubuntu 10.10? I have the Metacity compositing manager enabled and tool-tips seem to only appear after I moved the mouse, or only the shadow appears, but not the tool-tip itself. Just wondering...
[19:36] <sara123> Hey everyone: i'm trying to connect to internet via networkmanager, but it won't appear in systray. notificationarea IS activated. also tried to install wicd, but am always lacking packages.. can anyone help me to get acces to internet, please?
[19:37] <fireinspace> giampaolo, oh dear... I'd have said fire up synaptic to see, but first you'll have to install it... don't know if software centre gives you package versions... I'm old school... still using jaunty
[19:38] <jags> yo I just formated a drive to ext4 and I can't write to it, It belongs to root
[19:39] <jags> how do i change the permissions so my user can has full access
[19:39] <munshi> can any1 help me with installing USB vodafone stick???
[19:39] <fireinspace> ok, checked cd for errors and there are non... but gparted crashes... software centre crashes... this really puts me off installing maverick... so far, not so good
[19:39] <sporkboy> Okay, my X still isn't loading. no errors I can find.. the orange "ubuntu" text goes away, and nothing happens after that. I've tried reinstalling all the nvidia and xserver stuff, including downloading last night's driver from nvidia. nothing works. (I'm in failsafeX right now)
[19:39] <pepo> hi to all people !!!
[19:39] <pepo> did anybody use dd utility?
[19:39] <sresu> Is it right to assume that sticking to a particular Ubuntu/Linux distribution and updating only the kernel will still give me a running system, howsoever oudated it maybe in applications?
[19:39] <fireinspace> jags, well change owner then? !chown
[19:39] <giampaolo> fireinspace: I've just installed flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer and it's a little better than before
[19:40] <giampaolo> but it still sucks
[19:40] <delaman> I am trying to use tsMuxeR but i get this error every time http://i.imgur.com/Zn1FT.png   Any ideas to what is the problem?
[19:40] <fireinspace> giampaolo, what gfx card/driver
[19:40] <jags> fireinspace, I'll look that up
[19:40] <sporkboy> jags: man fstab may have the answer to your question.
[19:40] <giampaolo> what's recommended to have a decent flash plugin? heck! we are in 2010
[19:40] <houserockr> hi there! where can i activate the list view in nautilus in ubuntu maverick?
[19:40] <jags> there was a gui app that managed fstab for you, anyone remember the name?
[19:40] <KM0201> giampaolo: adobe flash works fine...
[19:40] <fireinspace> jags, is it external or what?
[19:40] <danharris83> adobe-flash-install  in synaptic package manager
[19:41] <jags> fireinspace, its internal
[19:41] <fireinspace> what mount point?
[19:41] <DaZ> houserockr: view->list ? >:
[19:41] <MrRoboto> has scribus 1.3.3.14 been released for ubuntu?
[19:42] <fireinspace> giampaolo, you only need flashplugin-nonfree
[19:42] <soroush_> hi again, how i can see network status (send,recive,...) like "netstat" in windows command promt?
[19:42] <jags> fireinspace, its /dev/sdb1 mounted at /media/
[19:42] <houserockr> DaZ: don't have that option :/
[19:42] <fireinspace> jags, where in media?
[19:42] <DaZ> houserockr: ctrl+2?
[19:42] <jags> fireinspace, /media/Tiamat
[19:43] <DaZ> houserockr: are you sure it's nautilus?
[19:43] <giampaolo> danharris83: I don't have a package called "adobe-flash-install" in synaptic
[19:43] <fireinspace> jags, what username?
[19:43] <jags> fireinspace, its jags
[19:43] <houserockr> DaZ: yep, about says its nautilus version 2.32.0
[19:43] <houserockr> DaZ: ctrl+2 doesn't work either
[19:43] <fireinspace> jags, chown jags:jags -R /media/Tiamat
[19:44] <jags> fireinspace, cool thanks
[19:44] <bredoto> hia
[19:44] <bredoto> Does anybody knows how to start up some script using runlevel under non root user?
[19:45] <pepo> people! I have a 300GB hard drive. when i do dd if=/dev/zero of=temp bs=1M count=3096 I get 61.6 MB/s (dual xeon 2.4, 2GB memory), but when I do the same command on a desktop with Intel i7 Core 500GB hard drive I get 46.2 MB/s. Could somebody give me some ideas where to dig?
[19:46] <fireinspace> pepo, are the HDD's different speeds?
[19:47] <vik> So does one just shout out questions here or how does it work?
[19:47] <pepo> nope 300GB drive Seagate ST3300831AS and 500GB drive Seagate 3500841AS, both 3Gbit/s
[19:48] <GregValheru> vik, yes just ask away
[19:48] <fireinspace> vik, yeah, thogh the way you ask determines the chance of help
[19:48] <vik> Ok. Ill do my best :)
[19:48] <fireinspace> s/thogh/though
[19:48] <soroush_> somebody help me   how i can see network status (send,recive,...) like "netstat" in windows command promt?
[19:48] <bredoto> I have a script that should be executed as regular user. How cat i put them in to the runlevel in such a way that after sys reboot it starts under reg user!!!!!
[19:48] <sporkboy> soroush: there's netstat there too
[19:48] <pepo> ups. 300GB drive 150 data transfer rate and 500GB 300 i/o data transfer rate
[19:49] <mawst> soroush_, nettop?
[19:49] <soroush_> i dont know
[19:49] <soroush_> i new linux user
[19:49] <pepo> looks like 500GB drive work slower than 300GB, how it is possible? O_o
[19:49] <fireinspace> soroush_, netstat?
[19:50] <soroush_> netstat is windows
[19:50] <fireinspace> soroush_, netstat works here ;0)
[19:50] <mawst> soroush_, netstat is a Unix command.
[19:50] <fireinspace> soroush_, have you even tried?
[19:50] <vik> I Installed ruby by running sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-full in the terminal. This seemed to work fine but two things are peculiar: 1: the way to run ruby is not ruby, but ruby1.9.1 and 2: running ruby1.9.1 -v gets me ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [i686-linux]
[19:50] <sporkboy> soroush_, try it... linux has netstat. trust me.
[19:50] <tdn> I am considering buying a Macbook or Macbook Pro. However, I am not sure if the hardware (+ periphirals) is fully supported by Ubuntu. How can I verify that it is? Do you have any experience with Ubuntu on Apple hardware?
[19:50] <mawst> Probably before it was a windows one.
[19:50] <mawst> :P
[19:50] <soroush_> no :D
[19:50] <soroush_> ok
[19:50] <fireinspace> soroush_, doh!
[19:51] <bredoto> hm
[19:51] <klandwehr> lol
[19:51] <oss1981> why cant i join bt ch
[19:51] <soroush_> sporkboy: it's work tanQ
[19:52] <klandwehr> sorry wrong chat room whoops
[19:52] <pepo> any ideas?
[19:52] <jay_> Just updated to 10.10, it has eeming randomly logged me out twice now, known issue?
 any ideas?
[19:53] <fireinspace> pepo, well ,your using a different size drive and different cpu... I'm not surprised... rated speeds of drives are not always 100% accurate
[19:53] <sporkboy> Okay, X not working after maverick upgrade, can't find any errors, can't get it to load outside of failsafe mode. anybody?
[19:53] <fireinspace> pepo, maybe try the larger drive in the xeon machine.. see if that makes a difference?
[19:53] <zeating> Whenever i boot ubuntu on my laptop battery it freezes, and whenever i take out the power it freezes. so basically 10.10 renders my laptop useless
 but why on a old xeon hard drive works faster than on Intel i7?
[19:53] <zeating> does anyone know what could be causing this
[19:54] <zeating> its so frustrating :(
[19:54] <dima_> i need driver for ati mobility radeon 2400, but the official driver defenatly have problems, any sugestions?
[19:54] <fireinspace> xeon are pretty good
[19:55] <dima_> xeon?
 I don't think so :)
 old xeon better than i7..... never
[19:55] <dima_> anyone?
[19:55] <email1459> hi there, is anybody who can help me: i install ubuntu nebook is very nice and good but i have no microfone, what can i do?
[19:55] <fireinspace> pepo, have you tried different bs?
[19:56] <zeating> anyone :S?
 yes... every time on xeon machine it is faster than i7
[19:57] <rxd> df
[19:57] <email1459> hi there, is anybody who can help me: i install ubuntu nebook is very nice and good but i have no microfone, what can i do?
 give me a bs parameter at your choose
[19:58] <fireinspace> pepo, sometimes certain drives will be optimized for different bs sizes... It's a little out of my field though
[19:58] <Ichat> email first of all did you check the audio settings pannel and unmute - are you setting the right cannel (for example)
[19:59] <Weyome> New try: why does sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-full install version 1.9.2 for me on ubuntu? also, ruby doesnt run by the command ruby, but ruby1.9.1
[19:59] <Ichat> email1459:  -

[20:00] <timemachine3030> Hi, I have I'm trying to black list a package from a repo so that it does not update from the repo.
[20:00] <Weyome> BluesKaj: Before I installed, I ran ruby -v which didnt get me anything
[20:01] <Weyome> But maybe that doesnt mean that it isnt istalled?
[20:01] <test1_> Hi

[20:02] <BluesKaj> Weyome, if it isn't installed you'll get a message like , The program 'ruby' is currently not installed.
[20:02] <test1_> I installed ubuntu 10.10 from scrach, and it create only one big partition "/" , in 10.04 it create "/" partition for the system, and "/home" partition, in 10.10 the default partition allocation is only one big partition?
[20:02] <Ichat> nertil:  ask in  #putty
[20:02] <GanonKiller> there is a sound bug for meerkat
[20:03] <nertil> you can ask too when ppl will be there
[20:03] <Surlaw> Hello, I've just dled kubuntu 10.10, did a wubi install, rebooted, let the iostall finish, took a while btw with a frozen kubuntu screen, they could at least put a progress bar or something... anyway, it finishes, I restart, chose generic kernel and BOOM it fails : Gave up waiting for root device [.... some shit] Alert! /dev/sdb2 does not exist... WTH?! I seriously hate linux, always had, always
[20:03] <Surlaw> will... too bad I need it sometimes as a programer XD So Ccould anyone help with that? Please :p
[20:03] <FloodBot1> Surlaw: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:03] <zeating> Whenever i boot ubuntu on my laptop battery it freezes, and whenever i take out the power it freezes. so basically 10.10 renders my laptop useless
[20:03] <fireinspace> nertil, but why not use ssh?
[20:04] <nertil> fireinspace,  in terminal?
[20:04] <fireinspace> nertil, yeah
[20:04] <nertil> okk
[20:04] <fireinspace> test1_, that has always been the default...
[20:04] <luca> hi - I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Asus EEE PC. Would like to use two finger scrolling, but I can't activate the option. Help? :)
[20:04] <BluesKaj> test1_, did yoi install 10.10 to / , with manual partitioning option or did you use the auto-partitioner
[20:04] <Weyome> BluesKaj: Yeah, thats what I got before, and is what I still get when I run ruby -v: The program 'ruby' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[20:04] <Weyome> sudo apt-get install ruby
[20:04] <Rikku> hello?
[20:04] <fireinspace> test1_, you ahve to manually partition (advanced) during install to set a seperate /home
[20:05] <test1_> I choose the "use entire disk
[20:05] <test1_> I choose the "use entire disk" option
[20:05] <Rikku> the sound keeps bugging out
[20:05] <Weyome> BluesKaj: Thx for your effort in helping me btw!
[20:05] <fireinspace> test1_, well what did you expect?  that will do exactly that!?!
[20:05] <Maahes> Weyome: type which ruby
[20:06] <BluesKaj> Weyome, np.
[20:06] <aquarat> it's a bit worrying when you type "sudo nickserv______" to identify yourself :/
[20:06] <Weyome> Maahes: which ruby didnt return anything
[20:06] <test1_> to allocate and create the partition automaticaly, including /home
[20:06] <domcod> nertil: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/putty
[20:06] <fireinspace> test1_, Use entire disk means NO seperate /home partition... /home is instead placed on the / partition
[20:06] <Maahes> Weyome: okay, so its definitely not installed. (you could have had it installed to somewhere not in your path)
[20:07] <test1_> ohh I see..
[20:07] <Weyome> Maahes: which ruby1.9.1 did return /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 on the other hand
[20:07] <test1_> should I reinstall it?
[20:07] <maquis> okay, i was in here earlier with X problems on my server, and someone (ActionParsnip) is the nick coming to mind, but I'm not certain) suggested I remove nvidia packages, then reboot, then re-install them.  I was able to get in without the nvidia packages, but when I went and re-installed them, X went back into a bad state after I rebooted...
[20:08] <Maahes> Weyome: create a symlink of ruby1.9.1 called ruby in usr/bin
[20:08] <under0> Hi. I've to print a web page but there is not my printer. Why? lsusb ->  Bus 001 Device 005: ID 03f0:7611 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet F2492 All-in-One
[20:09] <DaZ> test1_: you can live without /home on separate partition
[20:09] <Weyome> Maahes: Ok. Need to read up on symlink then. Will all ruby stuff work if its through this link?
[20:09] <BluesKaj> maquis, maybe this method will help http://pastebin.com/qWg96z8C
[20:09] <fireinspace> DaZ, though it is better practice to have a seperate /home
[20:09] <Rikku> has the sound bug been fixed for meerkat?
[20:09] <DaZ> it is
[20:09] <Rikku> the sound keeps bugging out
[20:09] <Maahes> Weyome: then make sure its executable. If ruby1.9.1 is "ruby" the symlink just executes it, try going into usr/bin and doing ./ruby1.9.1 just to check
[20:10] <test1_> ok.. I think I'll install gparted and create another partition for /home
[20:10] <test1_> thanks you all
[20:10] <Weyome> Maahes: Ok. Will do. Thanks alot!
[20:11] <lateigne> bonsoir

[20:15] <sporkboy> okay... this obviously isn't gonna work... is there a way to downgrade back to 9.04?
[20:15] <sporkboy> errr... 10.04, not 9.04. nerr.
[20:16] <Da_Wrecka> sporkboy: Back up your /home directory (assuming you don't have a /home partition) and reinstall. That's about the only way I've found to downgrade Ubuntu
[20:16] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> is it just my hardware or does linux in general respond slower then windows? anyone?
[20:16] <dli> sporkboy, is it absolutely needed?
[20:16] <maquis> BluesKaj: I'll ook into that... thanks!
[20:16] <sporkboy> dli, I can't get X to load out of failsafe mode, and now I can't get apt to work right.
[20:16] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, generally not true
[20:16] <Nick2> Is Ubuntu 6.06 still supported?
[20:17] <bjsnider> maquis, what hardware is this?
[20:17] <Da_Wrecka> wow, that's a bit more of a harsh situation than mine...
[20:17] <Pici> Nick2: On the server, yes.
[20:17] <tensorpudding> Nick2: yes
[20:17] <Nick2> ok, thanks
[20:17] <Da_Wrecka> Mine, I downgraded from 10.10 to 10.04 because I couldn't put up with that Unity awfulness
[20:17] <dli> sporkboy, sudo apt-get update
[20:17] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> well no matter which distro, kernel, window manager i use its always a little more sluggish then any version of windoze i use dli
[20:17] <maquis> BluesKaj: that's actually what i did...
[20:18] <maquis> bjsnider: lemme check
[20:18] <KM0201> Da_Wrecka, why not just put a normal gnome interface on the netbook?
[20:18] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, I feel the opposite, and I would delete the 'a little' though
[20:18] <BluesKaj> !LTS |  nick2
[20:18] <maquis> bjsnider: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)
[20:19] <Rikku> i am currently running maverick meerkat 10.10
[20:19] <bjsnider> maquis, what driver are you trying to use?
[20:19] <maquis> (sorry, 1-year-old really wants my keyboard) :)
[20:19] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> what could i be doing wrong then dli... what is causing me to have poor results
[20:19] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, if you ever tried super-pi, you would notice that it's at least 10% faster in linux
[20:19] <maquis> bjsnider: i tried to install nvidia-common
[20:19] <Rikku> the sound fades out when i play something
[20:19] <bjsnider> maquis, you mean nvidia-current?
[20:19] <maquis> bjsnider: yeah...
[20:19] <maquis> sorry
[20:20] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, hard to say, do benchmarking yourself :(
[20:20] <bjsnider> maquis, what driver does jockey recoomend?
[20:20] <BluesKaj> maquis, I think nvidia -current will work with the 6150
[20:20] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> im not trying to knock linux dli i want to use it but i need it to pull its weight
[20:20] <maquis> jockey?
[20:21] <bjsnider> maquis, hardware drivers manager
[20:21] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, also, you'd better provide more info and be more specific
[20:21] <sporkboy> dli, update works, but it says 0 upgrades available, then when I try to install, says 150 to install, then fails with: E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libbz2-1.0'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)
[20:21] <maquis> i tried to use the "additional drivers" thing from inside gnome, but it said i wasn't using any drivers
[20:21] <twinkie_addict> the neuvoue driver works pretty well in 10.10 since my tnt2 drivers arnt suported any more
[20:21] <maquis> was I using the wrong tool?
[20:21] <Da_Wrecka> KM0201: Because every time I tried to use regular GNOME all I got was a desktop with a couple of icons on it. No taskbar for running applications, no menus for loading applications short of Alt-F1.
[20:21] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> i dont understand how i can go from running a pile of apps on windows 7 eating up half my cpu and ram just idling to nearly using nothing running linux but still having a slower response time
[20:22] <bjsnider> maquis, it should appear and recommend a driver. if not launch it manually
[20:22] <Targeter> don't you love that
[20:22] <KM0201> Da_Wrecka, strange, gnome works flawlessly on my netbook
[20:22] <dli> sporkboy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9966852
[20:22] <maquis> bjsnider: should appear when?  and if I'm launching in manually, is it something other than the "additional drivers" menu under settings->administration?
[20:23] <bjsnider> maquis, that is the one
[20:23] <Da_Wrecka> KM0201: Are you using the specific Netbook release, or the Desktop release?
[20:23] <maquis> bjsnider: ok... let me remove nvidia-current again and get rid of my xorg.conf again so I can get into that box again
[20:23] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, response time of what? example?
[20:24] <bjsnider> maquis, jockey adds a xorg.conf automatically when you activate a driver
[20:24] <KM0201> Da_Wrecka, desktop release.
[20:24] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> everything dli... opening folders... animations... programs open faster in general but still have a sluggish feel once open
[20:24] <maquis>   bjsnider ok... i'll look at that
[20:24] <Da_Wrecka> that may be why
[20:24] <Da_Wrecka> I was using the Netbook release
[20:24] <maquis> bjsnider: do i want to check jockey before installing the driver, then?
[20:25] <bjsnider> maquis, activate the driver through jockey. do not do it manually
[20:25] <sporkboy> dli, yes, that's my problem, but I don't see a solution posted.
[20:25] <Targeter> netbook release is slightly optimized more for netbooks hence why it feels more responsive on them
[20:25] <Belinrahs> I just did the upgrade to maverick and upon checking xrandr - it now thinks my display is connected via "HDMI-1" whereas 10.04 thought it was DVI-I-1. How can I make this display be recognized as dvi-i-1?
[20:25] <KM0201> Targeter, i guess i disagree.. it felt sluggish and awkard to me... I like a normal gnome on my netbook far better
[20:26] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> i run a dual core amd cpu thats 32/64 dli but i always use 32 bit distros for compatibility sake... would that be the problem dli?
[20:26] <sporkboy> but I have to go.
[20:26] <maquis> bjsnider: ok... I removed nvidia-current, removed my xorg.conf, and rebooted.  then, i went to system->administration->additional drivers
[20:26] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, for desktop response time, you may want to try faster desktops than ubuntu-desktop, sudo apt-get install xfce lxde
[20:26] <maquis> it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[20:26] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> (i use windows 32 bit though as well dli)
[20:26] <iulhk> any idea about "update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/openfire missing LSB information"?
[20:26] <bjsnider> maquis, make sure all modalias packages are installed
[20:27] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, of course, 64bit is recommended, unless you know for 100% sure that you need 32bit, even so, I suggest a 32bit chroot, or virtual machine for that
[20:27] <maquis> bjsnider: so, install nvidia-current-modaliases or all the nvidia-modaliases?
[20:27] <bjsnider> maquis, all of them
[20:27] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> 32bit chroot? or vm for what dli?
[20:28] <meowsus> Does anyone here use VNC on their Android Phone to controll their Ubuntu box?
[20:28] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, one more rule, I don't use windows, I don't understand windows, so, you don't have to tell me anything about windows
[20:28] <zeating> how come when i switched to ubuntu 10.10 64 bit i cannot use my laptop without plugging it into the AC
[20:28] <zeating> it locks up on boot with just battery
[20:28] <maquis> bjsnider: ah... okay, i might've accidentally removed these when I was previously trying to get things working... :)
[20:28] <Rikku> my sound keeps fading out when playing music or video.. any fixes?
[20:29] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> whats a 32bit "chroot" dli and what should i use it for?
[20:29] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, to try schroot: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[20:29] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, to try KVM: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
[20:29] <fr33mind> hi
[20:29] <maquis> bjsnider: ok... installed those, the hardware manager didn't see anything still, so i'm rebooting and will try again
[20:30] <fr33mind> isn't there a package to give extra functionalities to the touchpad?
[20:30] <Tigger_Yum-Yum> i think ill try a 64b xfce distro dli, thanks for the help
[20:31] <dli> Tigger_Yum-Yum, xfce is good compromise for speed and functionality
[20:31] <maquis> bjsnider: still no love.  :(
[20:32] <Rikku> i have sound in my browser but not in any other programs
[20:34] <maquis> bjsnider: figured it out (with your help)!  I had removed nvidia-common as well as nvidia-current before, so that was preventing it from seeing it
[20:34] <dli> sporkboy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484020

[20:37] <poincare101> Hello everyone. I just got a new 1 TB hard drive, and right now, I'm just gonna put ubuntu on it. However, later on, can I partition ubuntu so that windows 7 can join in?
[20:37] <h00k> poincare101: yes, you can resize your partition
[20:37] <h00k> !dualboot | poincare101
[20:38] <glaucous> I was modifying the location of  var by moving it to another drive, this did however not result successfully and i reverted it by copying it back to /var. However, at boot I get this: "Could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthoriy". And after that: "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)"
[20:38] <_CommandeR_> any info about raid 0 and linux ?
[20:38] <tensorpudding> !raid
[20:39] <maquis> bjsnider: erm... just finally finished installing and I rebooted... and it's stuck again :(
[20:39] <tensorpudding> it can be done using mdadm
[20:39] <poincare101> h00k: thx.
[20:39] <brontoeee> what is the default button order in guis? (if on right side)? i have x,_,o
[20:39] <tensorpudding> that's it
[20:39] <h00k> poincare101: no prob, there's a part on the wiki about resizing, too
[20:39] <maquis> i'm really confuddled by this thing
[20:39] <tensorpudding> oh, on the right
[20:40] <tensorpudding> usually _,o,x
[20:40] <_CommandeR_> tensorpudding, but i do not want to have software raid
[20:40] <tensorpudding> which is not quite inverted
[20:40] <brontoeee> tensorpudding, ok
[20:40] <tensorpudding> _CommandeR_: got a raid card?
[20:40] <bjsnider> maquis, which driver did it recommend?
[20:40] <_CommandeR_> tensorpudding, I already have Raid 0 running with 3 partitions created and running NTFS on them
[20:41] <tensorpudding> ah, fakeraid
[20:41] <_CommandeR_> tensorpudding, its running on ATI southbridge
[20:41] <Reallycool> My GRUB won't work with the keyboard built into this laptop, or any keyboard I plug into it, is there any way around this?
[20:41] <alan__> How do i remove adobe flash in ubuntu? 10.10?
[20:41] <tensorpudding> there is some support for fakeraid
[20:42] <tensorpudding> but it's messy
[20:42] <xckpd7> question: what's a lightway way to manage windows in ubuntu (10.10)? let's say I want to toss one window to the right, and one to the left
[20:42] <tensorpudding> RAID-0 across three drives? That's pretty hazardous
[20:42] <jahdae> hello, i have a disgustingly low resolution after installing the nvidia drivers in ubuntu.  any ideas on how to fix this? I already tried editing the xorg manually but that did not work
[20:42] <xckpd7> and another question: why isn't maverick letting me drag windows across to different workspaces?
[20:42] <brontoeee> i meant on the left side really ...
[20:42] <maquis> bjsnider: ummm...  there were two... and I selected the one it said was recommended...
[20:42] <tensorpudding> jahdae: try installing nvidia-xsettings
[20:43] <jay_> could use a hand here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1596771
[20:43] <genie> hello
[20:43] <jahdae> tensorpudding: done that. does not give me any higher resolutions
[20:43] <bjsnider> maquis, try the other one
[20:43] <genie> how can I upgrade using .iso ?
[20:43] <jahdae> tensorpudding: i'm in 640x400 right now
[20:43] <maquis> bjsnider: will try that
[20:44] <jahdae> genie when you mount the CD/ISO it should ask you if you want to
[20:44] <jahdae> genie why don't you do it via update manager?
[20:44] <thiefy> what is the default user name and password to the xubuntu 10.10 live cd?
[20:44] <Reallycool> My GRUB won't work with the keyboard built into this laptop, or any keyboard I plug into it, is there any way around this?

[20:45] <jahdae> any ideas on how to solve my resolution problem anyone?
[20:45] <_CommandeR_> tensorpudding, well after reading i guess it is fakeraid, but one issue. Gparted read my drives but not the partition tables. How do i make it read the partition tables to then resize my partitions?
[20:45] <xckpd7> coolmadmax: yeah the windows are like liquid when you move them
[20:45] <genie> thanks jahdae
[20:46] <James-Blaze> can anyone tell me why when i boot from my Ubuntu CD and try to install it takes me to a console and not the GUI installer?
[20:46] <xckpd7> I even try to drag the little icon in workspaces to another and that doesn't work eithe
[20:46] <ajsie> if google chrome os is built on ubuntu .. doesnt that mean you can go down to ubuntu level and do stuff on the shell?
[20:46] <xckpd7> s/eithe/either
[20:46] <ajsie> install softwares etc
[20:46] <Deathspawn> how do I get access to my folders through the live CD? I need to backup my stuff because the main install of Ubuntu messed up and the folders are locked for me. (like .mozilla, etc)
[20:46] <James-Blaze> please?
[20:47] <ehcah> Does anyone if know if there is a PST import tool for either Evolution or Thunderbird?
[20:47] <alan__> James-Blaze: Please explain?
[20:47] <maquis> bjsnider: it had recommended version current.  i will try version 173 instead
[20:47] <bjsnider> do that thing
[20:47] <tensorpudding> _CommandeR_: Linux's handling of Window's fakeraid partitions is probably not going to work
[20:48] <James-Blaze> Alan- When I boot from the Ubuntu installation disc it runs but then takes me to a terminal like window and not a GUI
[20:48] <heatxsink> hi if I wanted to sync the installed packages between an already configured instance of ubuntu and a clean install of ubuntu (both the same version) how would I do that?
[20:48] <James-Blaze> it says ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[20:49] <alan__> Then what
[20:49] <James-Blaze> thats it
[20:49] <Jordan_U> !clone | heatxsink
[20:49] <tensorpudding> _CommandeR_: it involves some partition table mangling, i'm not sure it's possible
[20:49] <ZloiKotFAQ> ëþäèèè
[20:50] <alan__> James-Blaze: I'm not sure it shouldn't do that though. Try reboot and boot the disk when its about to start and it should give you the GUI.
[20:50] <James-Blaze> i have already tried that alan_
[20:50] <ZloiKotFAQ> whether someone speaks Russian?
[20:50] <Lounge> i lost the default volume control applet, how do i get it back?, cant find it anywhere

[20:51] <Lounge> i'm missing the Ubuntu 10.10 Volume Indicator Applet
[20:51] <Lounge> how do i get it back?
[20:51] <James-Blaze> i dont understand you there alan
[20:52] <Deathspawn> nevermind, sudo nautilus gave me access...
[20:52] <bjsnider> maquis, in that case your hardware probably isn't currently supported by the nvidia driver. lots of people are in that situation at the moment
[20:52] <maquis> bjsnider: did maverick take out support?
[20:52] <maquis> bjsnider: it was supported in lucid.
[20:52] <bjsnider> no, but this is a beta driver
[20:53] <robotron> hola
[20:53] <acer_> What file I need to edit to fix my grub-pc to obtain the updated information after Ubuntu 10.10 upgrade?

[20:53] <ace_steel> hey!!! can anyone tellme how to delete log files of pidgin?
[20:53] <ace_steel> ?
[20:53] <bjsnider> maquis, you'll have to use the nouveau driver for now
[20:54] <Reallycool> wait, is 10.10 out?
[20:54] <ace_steel> yes really cool
[20:54] <maquis> bjsnider: i'll look at that later, then... if i turn nvidia off, it at least boots for now
[20:54] <alan__> Reallycool yes.
[20:54] <Reallycool> my god...

[20:55] <ace_steel>  ?
[20:55] <acer_> Jordan_U, the thing is I am unable to boot directly. I need to use grub prompt to boot after 10.10
[20:56] <Jordan_U> acer_: What happens when you try to boot normally?

[21:01] <acicula> Question, i have a paired bluetooth phone, but everytime i want to access i get prompted again to enter a pin code both on ubuntu and then again on the device, this on 10.10 (netbook remix)
[21:02] <Jacen> I'm having some problems with the installation of Ubuntu. After it installed and reboots it stops at the black screen with the horizontal bar. Any ideas what to do?
[21:02] <acicula> err, how can i fix it from bugging me about a pin, the phone is set to autoconnect with the paired pc
[21:02] <sebsebseb> Jacen: hmm
[21:02] <Jacen> I've tried the wubi installer and disc methods
[21:03] <sebsebseb> Jacen: Which graphics card?
[21:03] <Jacen> NVIDIA Geforce GTS 360m
[21:03] <sebsebseb> Jacen: How old is the computer?
[21:03] <acicula> with a 360m its brand new
[21:03] <Jacen> 6 months
[21:04] <sebsebseb> Jacen: black screen with horizontal bar, I guess you mean  boot up screen that went wrong
[21:04] <sebsebseb> Jacen: for the Wubi  did you use an ISO that you downloaded?
[21:04] <Jacen> Yep...its the one that it downloads
[21:05] <sebsebseb> Jacen: maybe just a bad download
[21:05] <Jacen> http://www.agearnotebooks.com/asusg51jx-a1.html    <<<my laptop
[21:05] <dyrnade> How can i install Free Download Manager(FDM) on ubuntu?
[21:05] <sebsebseb> Jacen: still got the ISO?
[21:05] <Jacen> I've tried redownloading it and everything
[21:05] <Deathspawn> Jacen: does a hard reboot work? (hit power button till it shuts down then turn back on) I have a similar problem with a dell laptop and i just hard reboot it and sometimes i get the screen, and sometimes it boots fine.
[21:05] <Jacen> where does wubi save the file whn you run it?
[21:06] <Jacen> and I've tried rebooting it multiple times...still doesnt work
[21:06] <sebsebseb> Jacen: puts a file on the Windows partition for Ubuntu
[21:06] <Martijnvdc> Hi, when i try to mount my external hard drive as user, i get the following error: "User doesn't have privilege to mount. For more information please see: http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged" when i do what the guide says, i still have the same error, what can be done about this please?
[21:06] <ace_steel> Jacen:why don't u try installing it by usb stick?!?
 sudo.
[21:06] <Jacen> I guess I'll try that next
[21:07] <Jacen> miss ubuntu :(
 i'm trying not to use sudo
[21:07] <alan__> I still think arch linux still beats ubuntu.
[21:07] <sebsebseb> Jacen: lap tops tend to get the problems,  and some computers Ubuntu doesn't like at all,  may depend on the version though.  However sometimes other distros work much better on a computer than Ubuntu,  but I would suggest trying a previous version of Ubuntu such as 10.04, before considering trying another distro.
[21:08] <Mathuin> I am about to report a bug with the Indicator Applet with regard to the mute indicator.  apport-bug wants to know if it's a "sound/audio related problem" or a "display (X.org)" problem.  I think they're talking about drivers there and this isn't a driver issue but an app issue.  I just wanted to make sure, though.
[21:08] <Jacen> I tried 10.04 before 10.10 came out
[21:08] <sebsebseb> Jacen: same problem?
[21:08] <Jacen> yep
[21:08] <ace_steel> Jacen:i suggest u go with 9.10 first
[21:08] <sebsebseb> Jacen: I am not sure which Nivida card you got, but its not a really fancy one right?
[21:08] <Jacen> Its pretty nice
[21:08] <Jacen> its a 1gb
[21:08] <sebsebseb> Jacen: Ubuntu tends to work best with standard hardware
[21:09] <sebsebseb> Jacen: also as ace_steel is suggesting 9.10 may be a good idea to try
[21:09] <KM0201> Jacen, that's probably a 9x... how does lspci identify it?
[21:09] <Martijnvdc> alan__:  i'm trying not to use sudo
[21:09] <alan__> okay.
[21:09] <Rosbuntu> without sudo what can u use
[21:09] <Rosbuntu> my ubuntu is damn slow
[21:09] <alan__> Rosbuntu want to know why?
[21:09] <alan__> Adobe flash :)
[21:09] <Martijnvdc> it's not possible to mount a device without root privileges??
[21:10] <Rosbuntu> i dont know why it is slow
[21:10] <alan__> Don't think so no.
[21:10] <sebsebseb> alan__: ArchLinux isn't really for newbies, so not a great one to recommend to many people
[21:10] <Rosbuntu> if u know let me know
[21:10] <KM0201> alan__,  i dont have probs w/ flash on my Desktop(Nvidia graphics) on my Laptop.. it's a bit more an issue..
[21:10] <Jacen> KM0201: I'm not sure what you mean
[21:10] <KM0201> Jacen, nevermind, i saw where you responded a minute ago
[21:10] <ArtArfon> Im beefing up antivirus scanning on the gui plane, the plane boss :) http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/gadmin-antivirus/screenshots/
[21:10] <alan__> Rosbuntu its adobe flash. - Go to terminal type: top -> Check witch is taking the most cpu/memory.
[21:11] <albertito> hi! my terminal bell is not working (probably it hasn't been working for a long time), and I can't enable it. It does not work on xfce-terminal (my regular terminal), xterm, or gnome-terminal. beep works, tho. Any ideas about what may be going on?
[21:11] <Rosbuntu> okk
[21:11] <Jacen> so I should try an older version of Ubuntu or another type of Linux?
[21:11] <albertito> I've tried enabling it with xset, and in the options of both xfce-terminal and gnome-terminal, but it's still not working
[21:11] <sebsebseb> Jacen: it may just be a Plymouth issue
[21:11] <sebsebseb> Jacen: the boot up
[21:11] <sebsebseb> Jacen: that 10.04 and 10.10 use
[21:12] <alan__> ArtArfon: What language is that c?
[21:12] <ArtArfon> C
[21:12] <ArtArfon> GTK+
[21:12] <acer_> Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/513375/
[21:12] <Jacen> Well darn
[21:12] <sebsebseb> Jacen: may be an issue with Plymouth itself, or just the way Ubuntu has done it.  9.10 uses Xsplash instead, and that may work better
[21:12] <alan__> Thought so
[21:12] <Jacen> Well thanks guys!
[21:12] <Jacen> I'll try it and see
[21:12] <sebsebseb> Jacen: 9.10 also is still supported untill the end of April next year
[21:13] <Rosbuntu> How can i use orangeHRM in my ubuntu
[21:13] <ArtArfon> alan__: I think ill drop the quarantine button because it can hide viruses or give false positives. What do any of you think ?
[21:13] <sebsebseb> !virus | ArtArfon
[21:13] <alan__> ArtArfon: Yeah go for it
[21:14] <ArtArfon> alan__: I have it linked to a popup that tells the user to remove the file with the remove button or reinstall the system to be secure (as it is)
[21:14] <alan__> Yeah.
[21:15] <alan__> ArtArfon: Whats this for ubuntu?
[21:15] <Jordan_U> acer_: What commands are you using toboot from the grub shell?
[21:15] <defib> Whenanyone has a chance, I'm trying to get compiz to work with my fresh install of 10.10
[21:15] <ArtArfon> alan__: All Open Source systems
[21:15] <ArtArfon> alan__: Itll be in ubuntu as well
[21:16] <Jacen> Can someone link me to the 9.10  download?
[21:16] <sebsebseb> Jacen: make sure to md5sum check as well ideally
[21:16] <kevin_> Hello! How do I get to the pure-text-only command line black screen with white letters and nothing else mode? I can't seem to figure it out.
[21:16] <alan__> Jacen: Its on the website.
[21:16] <acer_> Jordan_U, not sure because I use the auto complete function.
[21:16] <sebsebseb> Jacen: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10
[21:16] <erUSUL> kevin_: crtl + alt + f1
[21:16] <sebsebseb> acer_: no not 9.10
[21:16] <sebsebseb> acer_: uh wrongo ne
[21:16] <h00k> kevin_: try a TTY: ctrl+alt+f1 through f7, then the graphics are back on ctrl-alt-f8
[21:16] <sebsebseb> alan__: no not 9.10,  in the above link though yes
[21:17] <Jordan_U> acer_: Can you try using the recovery mode option from the grub menu?
[21:17]  * Rosbuntu is sleepy
[21:17] <sebsebseb> !md5sum | Jacen
[21:17] <acer_> Jordan_U, but its linux ... initrd ... boot
[21:17] <sebsebseb> Jacen: and the codes you compare the ISO to are on that 9.10 section as well
[21:17] <kevin_> erUSUL, h00k, I tried those, but they didn't work.
[21:17] <acer_> Jordan_U, how does it work?
[21:17] <erUSUL> !doesntwork
[21:17] <kevin_> heh
[21:18] <kevin_> It doesn't have any outcome. I press the buttons, nothing happens.
[21:18] <alan__> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors
[21:18] <alan__> They are all listed there.
[21:18] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: you could try 8.04.4 the previous Long Term Support release, which like 9.10 gets support on desktop untill end of April next year.  and if none of these work,  loads of great alternative distros out there :)
[21:18] <Jordan_U> acer_: It just passes different kernel parameters. I suspect the splash screen may be what's causing the reboot (and the recovery mode option doesn't include the "splash" kernel parameter)
[21:18] <sebsebseb> Jacen: ^^^^^
[21:18] <sebsebseb> above
[21:19] <kevin_> erUSUL, h00k, I've also tried /etc/init.d/gdm stop, but that didn't work either
[21:19] <acer_> Jordan_U, oh, if you mean the variations I've already tryed all of them. doesn't work :(
[21:19] <alan__> Told you they're listed on the site :)
[21:19] <Jacen> oh okay
[21:19] <erUSUL> kevin_: sudo stop gdm && sudo pkill X
[21:19] <h00k> kevin_: like, they didn't show up?
[21:19] <Jacen> thanks!
[21:20] <BBBThunda> Hey everyone!  I'm trying to schedule rsync to run automatically once per day, but there are a few special requirements that are making this tough to figure out...
[21:20] <kevin_> I'll give those a try
[21:20] <luca> hi - how can I enable SHMConfig? Thanks
[21:21] <alan__> Your welcome
[21:21] <BBBThunda> I want to schedule rsync to sync a remote folder to my local machine.  The job/task must be able to prompt me for a sudo/gksu password when it runs (similar to how update manager autoruns and prompts for pw) and also prompt me for the SSH password needed to connect to the remote server.  The job should also be able to log to a file owned by root.
[21:21] <BBBThunda> anyone know how to pull this off?
[21:22] <ldiamond> How do I get mount.cifs binary? I cant find any package for it
[21:22] <BBBThunda> Can't use cron because that runs in the background and I won't be able to input the passwords.
[21:22] <acer_> Jordan_U, ?
[21:22] <Mathuin> Is there a particular reason you want to have a scheduled task that requires interaction?  Why not use public keys to avoid the need for passwords?
[21:22] <defib> Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do?
[21:23] <BBBThunda> Mathuin, I don't know how to use them yet... I was actually researching that earlier but then I figured if it prompts me for a pw that would be enough
[21:23] <albertito> in case anyone cares, it was pulseaudio that had it commented out. Why would anyone want to disable the x11 bell by default at pulseaudio level, it's beyond me...
[21:23] <acer_> I've already reinstalled grub-pc but it haven't deleted the stating up files related...
[21:23] <aguitel_> anyone use ubuntu-tweak ?
[21:23] <acer_> Could someone help me to solve this issue please???
[21:23] <kevin_> h00k, erUSUL, I tried sudo stop gdm && pkill X, and it worked, but it didn't put me to the command line
[21:24] <Mathuin> BBBThunda: searching the fine web for "passwordless ssh" will walk you through the process of configuring ssh.
[21:24] <BBBThunda> Mathuin, will that cause ssh to ALWAYS be password-free?  I do not want that.
[21:24] <erUSUL> kevin_: the tty's are in crtl + alt + f1-6. if they do not show up there is a bug somewhere ( or missconfiguration )
[21:24] <Jordan_U> acer_: The commands you're running manually are basically the same ones the menu entry is running, so it's odd that one causes a reboot and the other doesn't.
[21:24] <kevin_> h00k, erUSUL all it did was put me to a black screen with text where I could type, but no command prompt, couldn't enter commands or do "ls" or "pwd" or nything
[21:24] <BBBThunda> Mathuin, for that server I mean.
[21:24] <ilovefairuz> !ssh | BBBThunda
[21:25] <erUSUL> kevin_: what graphic card do you have; what drivers?
[21:25] <kevin_> erUSUL, I have 6 monitors, perhaps that has something to do with it?
[21:25] <Mathuin> If you configure the local root user to be able to log into the remote system as whatever user is necessary for the backup, you can schedule the cronjob as local root.
[21:25] <c3l> blist
[21:25] <acer_> Jordan_U, that's because probably my system is reading some different information from some source by default from the ones I am putting by hand.
[21:25] <kevin_> erUSUL, I have 2 gts240 and 1 9800gtx
[21:25] <sebsebseb> !root
[21:26] <BBBThunda> thanks ilovefairuz, I know how to use ssh (not to mention scp and sshd), just don't know the downstream effects of using public keys, etc.
[21:26] <erUSUL> kevin_: and what are you suing?
[21:26] <erUSUL> using*
[21:26] <Mathuin> BBBThunda: some of those issues are discussed at that link.
[21:26] <kevin_> erUSUL, you mean driver-wise?
[21:26] <acer_> The thing is how to find the resource where grub-pc is getting thiose wrong informations and that are the same one upgrade to 10.10 forgot to fix.
[21:26] <Jordan_U> acer_: You can look at your /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see the exact commands being run when you select a menu entry.
[21:26] <ilovefairuz> BBBThunda: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[21:26] <erUSUL> kevin_: well you do not have the three cards working at once? do you?
[21:27] <Mathuin> Oooh, ssh-copy-id, now *that's* useful.
[21:27] <kevin_> erUSUL, yes, they are all working at the same time, and they do work, but they don't have the most up to date driver, I am trying to isntall them via the cli, but can't have gdm running at the same time.
[21:28] <sammy> so, sharing /home/bobby/Public (to anonymous users with, say, samba - or sharing ~user/public_html with read permissions for the apache user)  means that /home/bobby must be readable by everyone, right?
[21:28] <acicula> kevin_: the drivers that come with ubuntu, did those not work for you? i assume since you are inst manually you are  using nvidias run file?
[21:29] <uLinux> what is ALSAmixer config folder?
[21:29] <uLinux> i want to reset all the settings
[21:29] <kevin_> acicula, the default drivers did work. However they are missing some functionality as well as being a bit choppy. I am trying to install via the nVidia run file.
[21:29] <fgh> where are the settings fore gnome panel and gnome themes stored?
[21:30] <defib> Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do?
[21:30] <ravn> hi folks, I'm workin on setting up a newly bought nas, and when I mount one of its shares with nfs, it seems things are not written to the nfs-volume, but to the underlying root fs volume. Why is this?
[21:30] <Jordan_U> acer_: Could you try asking in #grub? Mention the exact symptoms.
[21:30] <acicula> sammy: yeah i believe so, not the files in there though. dont think it has to be listable either, so just read permissions may be enough, but im not enirely sure on that otherwise try +x
[21:31] <acicula> kevin_: ah ok, thats pretty vital info. Whats not working precisely, you ran the .run file and now no gui will come up or?
[21:31] <sammy> excuse me, execute. acicula, thanks. +x allows cd'ing into a directory without reading its contents, for just this sort of occassion. I'm not sure what got me thinking I had to have +r instead of +x
[21:32] <acer_> Jordan_U, the information that grub.cfg file conteign is the same as I enter at prompt or linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro   quiet splash
[21:32] <acer_> 	initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic

[21:32] <soroush> guys when i do right click in /home "create folder" is disable, how i can make folder this place ???/
[21:32] <acicula> ravn: what do you mean by root fs volume
[21:33] <acicula> your local disk or some disk on your nas?
[21:33] <acicula> soroush: you cant write in /home as a user
[21:33] <Mas0ne> Hi all! Anyone with knowledge concerning libpam-unix2?
[21:33] <acicula> soroush: try using /home/<yourusername>
[21:33] <ldiamond> How do I get mount.cifs binary? I cant find any package for it
[21:33] <ace_steel> soroush:u can mk it by using terminal
[21:33] <lucas--> Does anyone here works with RTAI (Real Time Application Interface)?
[21:33] <soroush> how?
[21:34] <acicula> eh browse to your home folder by clicking on the house icon in nautilus
[21:34] <DraZoro> acicula: You will have to change permissions see man chmod
[21:34] <acicula> DraZoro: i dont, nor does he ;)
[21:34] <Mas0ne> Does anybody know why libpam-unix2 disables user logins?
[21:34] <ace_steel> pwd -> if ur in ur hm folder then mkdir <folder name>
[21:35] <soroush> i want to make ".fonts"  folder in /home
[21:35] <ace_steel> soroush:first pwd on ur terminal
[21:35] <acicula> soroush: what are you trying to achieve, ubuntu uses a fairly strict regime when it comes where you put files?
[21:35]  * DraZoro send the wrong message to acicula apologies
[21:36] <guntbert> soroush: you can have it in /home/soroush but not in /home
[21:36] <kevin_> acicula, well, the default drivers allow me to use the computer. I'm using it now. However I think that they are limited and that the nV drivers would be better. I can't run the .run file because I have to be in text only mode, and that's what my goal is right now. I was thinking that because I have 6 screens it wierds out the ctrl + alt + f1-6 thing.
[21:36] <Black_Prince> Hi, can someone guide me how to boot Ubuntu Live CD Image with GRUB2 ?
[21:36] <glaucous> How do I change x-server? For instance I se X :3 -ac and start a wine application there. If I then use ctrl+alt+f7 I get back to gdm, but how do I then get back to X 3?
[21:36] <soroush> not at all??!!
[21:36] <uLinux> How can I reset ALSA settings to default?!
[21:37] <mbeierl> NOOOOO!  I just upgraded to maverick and the stupid garbled text in xterms bug with nvidia came back!  why or why?
[21:37] <uLinux> mbeierl: fresh install ?

[21:38] <liminal> i need some wifi help
[21:38] <acicula> kevin_: well not very knowledgeable about multicard setups,does it use multiple x servers or just one for all cards?, you can shutdown the x server by typing sudo service gdm stop in a terminal. The nvidia has an uninstall flag i think if things dont work. Id recommend removing the existing nvidia-binary drivers before installing the nvidia drivers manually(and remove those first before reenabling the drivers that came with ubuntu)
[21:38] <DraZoro> liminal: What is the problem with wifi ?
[21:38] <liminal> I need my wlan0 IP to set by my router DHCP
[21:38] <liminal> its currently fixed

[21:39] <Laurenceb> can i upgrade from 8.04lts to 10.04lts with a 10.04 install disk?
[21:39] <acicula> soroush: its not impossible, but its aking to retrofitting your car to be horsedrawn
[21:39] <Laurenceb> to save on download bandwidth use?
[21:39] <DrGrov> Is it a good time now to update to 10.10 from 10.04?

[21:41] <Tarantulafudge> how can I start working with the ubuntu software store?
[21:41] <liminal> how do i set my wlan0 IP to be obtained via DHCP?
[21:41] <zertt> what is the equivalent of this command  /etc/sysconfig/network on ubuntu ?
[21:41] <DrGrov> Chaser: Thanks, pretty sure though 10.10 can not be more troublesome than 10.04 lol
[21:41] <Laurenceb> acicula: i dont have fast enoug internet
[21:41] <acicula> liminal: that is usuual the default
[21:42] <Laurenceb> to download all the files required.. but i do have an install disk
[21:42] <acicula> Laurenceb: err sec lemme have a look for you, dont think its possible that way
[21:42] <kevin_> acicula, It uses one x server for all the screens, when I do "sudo service gdm stop" i am not taken to the command prompt, that's the issue. Instead I'm put into a black screen that I can type on, but there is no prompt at all, can't execute commands.
[21:42] <Laurenceb> if not it would be a useful feature to have as part of ubuntu
[21:42] <zertt> what is the equivalent of this command  /etc/sysconfig/network on ubuntu ?
[21:43] <Jordan_U> Black_Prince: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F

[21:43] <Laurenceb> im going to have to take my machine to work and steal their connection :P
[21:43] <phisher1> or centos, fedora, etc
[21:43] <Tarantulafudge> anyone? I am interested in featuring a product in the ubuntu software store
[21:43] <acicula> kevin_: oic
[21:43] <DraZoro> Laurenceb: Why don't you back up and do a fresh install ?
[21:43] <ganeshran> hi the fonts on firefox in ubuntu dont look good. Is there a way to improve look, by using anti aliasing maybe?
[21:43] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, is it open source?
[21:43] <acicula> kevin_: tried booting rescue mode and dropping to a rootshell without starting the gui
[21:43] <jrib> Tarantulafudge: you want to know how to package your software and get it into the repositories?
[21:43] <Laurenceb> DraZoro: i could but itd be a pain to set everything up and organise the backups
[21:44] <Laurenceb> update is supposed to be fairly painless
[21:44] <Tarantulafudge> jrib, ubuntu 10.10 allows you to buy software now

[21:44] <Laurenceb> Tarantulafudge:stallman will be raging
[21:44] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, if it is closed source then you need to talk directly to canonical
[21:44] <Chaser> zertt, /etc/network/interfaces

[21:45] <basix-> is there an application that substitutes iTunes on linux?
[21:45] <kevin_> acicula, haven't tried that, i thought that the recovery mode used a different kernel, and installing the drivers with that kernel would not work for the other kernel. Is that true?
[21:45] <waltercool> basix-, Music Player, AKA Rhythmbox
[21:45]  * Laurenceb will organise his files... someday
[21:45] <Wraithulek>  hw:0:0 as audio device (microphone), how to change it to speakers?
[21:46] <Tarantulafudge> ssam, how does one talk directly to canonical, is there no main route for developing apps for the app store?
[21:46] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/contact
[21:46] <Wraithulek> in icecast
[21:46] <basix-> okay i can upload mp3s straight to my ipod with it?
[21:46] <acicula> Laurenceb: it used to be possiblle with an alternate cd, but itĺl be a pain if you have more then just a basic system installed still, best to just go find a speedy internet pipe
[21:46] <Laurenceb> yeah thats my thoughts
[21:46] <waltercool> basix-, yes, just connect it and open Rhythmbox ;)
[21:46] <Lounge> the incicator applet is supposed to show the volume right?
[21:46] <_CommandeR_> need help with ubuntu and dmraid, thing is that it sees my disks but not the array
[21:46] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, the closed source stuff in the software center comes from the canonical partners repo.
[21:46] <acicula> kevin_: eh it uses the samme kernel
[21:46] <Lounge> mine doesn't show it
[21:46] <basix-> waltercool, thanks :)
[21:46] <Laurenceb> just nick a connection at work as opposed to my crappy adsl
[21:47] <kevin_> acicula, ok, I'll give that a shot, thanks!
[21:47] <acicula> kevin_: look in menu.lst or whatever the grub file is, the kernel options are different
[21:47] <acicula> kevin_: getting a terminal without a prompt means there isnt a login program running
[21:47] <Tarantulafudge> ssam, what about selling open source?

[21:48] <Viliny> hey guys, my file server recently broke so moved the Hard drive to a similar computer but the target machine has a integrated intel gfx card as opposed to the original nvidia gfx - im getting low graphics mode when i get to ubuntu now and it's failing to load nvidia drivers--- obviously... how do i make the switch in gfx drivers?
[21:48] <acicula> kevin_: kinda obvious i admit, but could be its hidden somewhere, thing shift and ctrl and such also may serve as hotkeys for more terminals
[21:48] <kevin_> cool, thanks acicula I appreciate it.
[21:48] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, you can try, but there is nothing to stop anyone packaging it and putting it in the main repo for free
[21:48] <phisher1> Viliny: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:48] <Tarantulafudge> ssam, right, will I still need to contact canonical to do that?
[21:48] <acicula> ravn: eh im sorry i only have like 5 lines of memory, your response was regarding what again?
[21:49] <qwertyjustin> is ubuntu faster when installed as a seperate partition, and slower when installed via windows with wubi.exe?
[21:49] <brad__> of course
[21:49] <ravn> acicula: regarding the nfs mount...
[21:49] <acicula> ah
[21:49] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, to get it in the main repo, you just need to make sure the source is online somewhere and file a bug asking for a package
[21:49] <qwertyjustin> any ideas?
[21:49] <acicula> can you pastebin the output of mount
[21:49] <Viliny> phisher1: thanks, it's done now without any feedback - it's ok now?
[21:50] <acicula> qwertyjustin: slower via wubi
[21:50] <phisher1> Viliny: eh, actually, goto console, stop gdm, then run that
[21:50] <ravn> acicula:  no output the relevant line from df is "192.168.1.100:/media 1943483136    554752 1942928384   1% /home/nfs"
[21:50] <qwertyjustin> acicula: yeah i thought so, why is that? is it just slower to load up, but otherwise just as fast to actually run?
[21:51] <ssam> Tarantulafudge, though it might be good to get into a ppa first
[21:51] <Viliny> what was the command to stop gdm again?
[21:51] <phisher1> /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[21:51] <acicula> qwertyjustin: wubi opens the file containing the / at boot and mounts it as a loopback, so you are mapping a fs in a file on a disk.
[21:51] <ssam> Viliny, or sudo services gdm stop
[21:52] <acicula> qwertyjustin: at least i assume thats how it works
[21:52] <phisher1> i was waiting for someone to say that. =\
[21:52] <Viliny> it told me to stand by for a minute while the display resets and then went black screen on me

[21:55] <ravn> acicula: hmm, this is strange... now it works... grrr. Honestly, I did not do anything different this time! weird?!?
[21:55] <phisher1> do not go into single user
[21:55] <zertt> the equivalent of this line /etc/sysconfig/network gives this /etc/network/interfaces  so what is the equivalent of this line /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ?
[21:55] <basix-> thanks, i'll check it out
[21:55] <Doonz> anyone here familiar with googlecl?
[21:55] <jrib> zertt: why not just tell us what you want to accomplish?
[21:56] <soroush> which keys use to end process in ubuntu ?? example in windows : Alt + Ctrl + Del
[21:56] <MrClean> alt f4
[21:56] <Viliny> phisher1: rebooting now, but at what point do i do the key combo?
[21:56] <phisher1> after you're in X is fine..
[21:56] <zertt> i just editing my network settings jrib
[21:57] <acicula> Guest86993: if its a server grade raid chip mayybe just easier to check the linux kernel support for it directly?
[21:57] <Chaser> zertt, you might want to look at manpage http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/interfaces.5.html /etc/network/interfaces is the place where you do stuff that you normally would do in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethXX
[21:57] <jrib> zertt: system -> administration -> network then?
[21:57] <Viliny> okay well phisher1 that seems to leave me with a blank black screen
[21:57] <Viliny> as if the computer can't go into console mode
[21:57] <zertt> no i used to wokk with cli
[21:57] <zertt> so plz don't change habit
[21:57] <mao_> someones knows which is the best dj program for linux (i have mixxx now)
[21:57] <Viliny> i get the option to run ubuntu in low graphics mode or exit to console login
[21:57] <phisher1> Viliny: try ehh.. safe mode ? what the hell is it in ubuntu
[21:57] <magicianlord> all right
[21:58] <sresu> Just completed upgrading Lucid to Meerkat. It fetched 1098 new packages which amounted to around 1.5 GB. Is something wrong?
[21:58] <phisher1> exit to console login.. have you tried that ?
[21:58] <Viliny> console login works as poorly as ctrl+alt+f1
[21:58] <basix-> there is no exporting help on that website for the iPod
[21:58] <magicianlord> Running 10.10 on an Acer One netbook.
[21:58] <magicianlord> WUT
[21:58] <_Tristan> sweet, bro.
[21:58] <magicianlord> yep
[21:58] <phisher1> Viliny: well you gotta be able to get to a console
[21:58] <phisher1> I would suggest deleting your xorg.conf .. but you might not be able to get to anything again
[21:58] <Viliny> phisher, if i do the distro upgrade and stuff like that - you think this mess would clear in that same instance?
[21:58] <phisher1> since your console is apparently not working
[21:59] <Viliny> with all the kernel upgrades and whatnots
[21:59] <Lounge> whats with all of these libboost packages that are being kept back?
[21:59] <phisher1> Viliny: do this dude.. just go make a basic xorg.conf
[21:59] <phisher1> and use driver intel
[21:59] <jrib> Lounge: pastebin exactly what you did and the full output
[21:59] <tehowe> I just allowed Win7 to install about 20 updates (haven't been using it much :) on my dual-boot system and when I went back into Lucid, it froze on startup requiring me to hold down the power for a cold start about 5 times before Gnome finally came up successfully - each time it got a little further along. Any idea why this might happen?
[21:59] <Viliny> how exactly
[22:00] <_CommandeR_> how do I resize a fakeraid
[22:00] <kv102t> So, Q1, how do I check what ububtu verison i'm on?
[22:00] <slooksterpsv> no one is responding to my requests for support in #kubuntu so I was wondering if I could ask here
[22:00] <Pici> kv102t: lsb_release -a
[22:00] <ari-tczew> is any option to receive files via bluetooth on ubuntu?
[22:00] <acicula> Guest86993: if its a server grade raid chip mayybe just easier to check the linux kernel support for it directly??
[22:00] <acicula> err nvm Guest86993
[22:00] <acicula> Guest86993: if its a server grade raid chip mayybe just easier to check the linux kernel support for it directly?
[22:00] <jrib> slooksterpsv: if it's specific to kde, #kubuntu is probably your best bet, but otherwise you're fine
[22:01] <kv102t> OK, so i'm on 10.4, is the update manager going to push me onto 10.10 or do i need to do something myself?
[22:01] <acicula> ugh, 1000H keyboard is not agreeing with me
[22:01] <jrib> !upgrade | kv102t
[22:01] <nerdy_kid> hi all, I am helping out with this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594784&page=4  I need to know, is the MBR the same as the partition table and if not where on the disk is the partition table so I can back it up with dd?  thanks
[22:01] <Viliny> i tried purging nvidia drivers earlier but i still get "failed to load nvidia module does not exists  0" error and below that a no drivers available error - phisher1
[22:01] <acicula> ari-tczew: enable bluetooth, set your pc visibile, send files from phone?
[22:01] <slooksterpsv> couple of things, I'm running 10.10 and Kontact won't do custom colors and doesn't quit when I quit nor is the icon in the panel
[22:01] <Viliny> when i boot, then i go into low graphics mode
[22:01] <tylermolamphy> kv102t: the update manager will update 10.04 and give you the option to upgrade to 10.10.
[22:02] <acicula> nerdy_kid: MBR and partition tables are not the same thing
[22:02] <slooksterpsv> and evolution doesn't display properly in KDE
[22:02] <acicula> you can find the partition table a few sectors after  the MBR
[22:02] <tylermolamphy> kv102t: It will have a small area above the list of updates that says "New Distro Update Avail." or something to that effect.
[22:02] <Lounge> yeah for some reason my system is not allowing all these libboost packages to be installed, and the ones that do get installed. i keep getting a notice that they're nolonger needed in the terminal
[22:02] <kv102t> tylermolamphy: When will it? 10.10 is out and i've checked for updates..
[22:02] <nerdy_kid> acicula thanks, didnt think so but wanted to make sure.  Do you know where the partition table is exactly?  I know the MBR is the first 512Kb.
[22:02] <bluefrog> nerdy_kid, to backup mbr   dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/savembr bs=512 count=1
[22:02] <Android_Nerd914> g nickserv identify Androidhtc
[22:02] <phisher1> Viliny: try just changing nvidia to intel in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:03] <Lounge> n
[22:03] <Pici> kv102t: You may need to go into your software sources and change the upload to LTS releases only setting.
[22:03] <bluefrog> nerdy_kid, to backup partition table  sfdisk -d /dev/sda > partition.save
[22:03] <Wraithulek> in icecast audio device is hw:0:0 (microphone) how to change it to speakers or how to get hw number of speakers?
[22:03] <Pici> kv102t: I don't recall what the exact wording is on the graphical interface.
[22:03] <acicula> nerdy_kid: punch it into google, this is pretty well documented stuff. theres no need to phsyically locate the partition table though
[22:03] <phisher1> Viliny: take out any instance of glx too
[22:03] <phisher1> http://pastebin.com/yrnFJQJa
[22:03] <phisher1> something along those lines
[22:04] <kv102t> shell commands?  apt-get install ???
[22:04] <phisher1> missing a endsection there, but you get the idea
[22:04] <bluefrog> nerdy_kid, to restore the partition table  sfdisk /dev/sda < partition.save
[22:04] <tylermolamphy> kv102t: see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades
[22:04] <bluefrog> nerdy_kid, to restore the mbr   dd if=/path/to/savembr of=/dev/sda
[22:04] <nerdy_kid> bluefrog ok thanks a bunch :)  I guess the mbr is the first 512 bytes not kilobytes -- always get that mixed up.
[22:04] <Viliny> okay i removed glx module and set intel as the gfx
[22:05] <Viliny> trying now
[22:05] <tylermolamphy> kv102t: Also Kubuntu specific: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades/Kubuntu
[22:05] <kgunpowder> Can anyone help me? During some Linux boots, I end up with a bunch of sprawling code that will end and lead me nowhere after a point. :(
[22:05] <Wraithulek> can you help me?
[22:05] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: You would have to be more specific as to what the code says.
[22:06] <kgunpowder> tylermolamphy, I believe it says "kernel-init-helper"
[22:06] <Kartagis> I want to get rid of a package, but even though I attempt to purge it, it freezes my system. how to completely get rid of it?
[22:06] <Viliny> phisher1: im golden :) thanks man!
[22:06] <ari-tczew> acicula: thanks, I had to enable receiving in options
[22:06] <kgunpowder> tylermolamphy, this happens when I use the recovery console, and recently when booting Ubuntu, then I get nowhere.
[22:06] <kv102t> is it safe to update???  is there anything new- that stands out..
[22:06] <zatan> Hi, is naybody able to help me , with sound cards, at the moment i got two SOUND cards one inside HDA and another External (creative SB094) , How can i make it work my external card? and disable HDA soud card?
[22:06] <MrClean> no
[22:07] <acicula> ari-tczew: oh i missed that bit, but glad you figured it out and shared it :)
[22:07] <phisher1> Viliny: that work for ya?
[22:07] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: Let me do some googling, one second.
[22:07] <MrClean> make him google for himself
[22:07] <hsr> Hi.. I'm on irssi now. How can I initiate X11 from CLI?
[22:07] <phisher1> startx
[22:07] <phisher1> or gdm start
[22:07] <Viliny> phisher1: yes! now, i have some fstab lines about hd's that aren't there anymore... any way to regenerate fstab or something?
[22:07] <kv102t> is it safe to update???  is there anything new- that stands out..
[22:08] <Viliny> im watching it in gedit atm and they are all sd hd's whilst the one ubuntu is on is a pata and should be hda?
[22:08] <phisher1> just remove the erroneous lines
[22:08] <kv102t> Also if i download and use CD to upgrade, it will do so, Correct?
[22:08] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: Do you have a prompt that you can use when you boot?
[22:08] <Lounge> anybody know why i'm getting kept back from all these libboost packages?
[22:08] <MrClean> yes
[22:08] <hsr> phisher1: I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 and went to tty1. So I should try startx.. right?
[22:08] <phisher1> hsr: are you already in an X session ?
[22:09] <kgunpowder> Only a prompt asking me for one of three boot options, and after that it just scrolls through code and would SEEM as if it's waiting for something, but nothing.
[22:09] <kgunpowder> Tylermolamphy
[22:09] <hsr> phisher1: I don't know.. cannot say
[22:09] <phisher1> hit ctrl-alt-f7
[22:09] <phisher1> can you say now?
[22:09] <MrClean> this channel should be split
[22:09] <Ganymede> Is there a guide to installing packages without root priveleges? I know I can just download the .deb and extract it into my own home directory somewhere but how can I take care of all the deps easily? I'm looking to use KDE apps on a university Ubuntu machine that doesn't have them installed.
[22:10] <defib> Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do?
[22:10] <Ichat> MrClean:  - split into what?
[22:10] <basix-> i am having problems exporting my songs from my ipod to my computer with rhythm music player, does this program not support that feature with ipod?
[22:10] <acicula> kv102t: MrClean you can update from cd/dvd with the alternate installation disc.
[22:10] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: What are your three boot options?
[22:10] <Cebot> hi
[22:10] <Wraithulek> hi
[22:10] <MrClean> gaynmede: sudo apt-get install <packages>
[22:10] <kgunpowder> tylermolamphy, boot generic, recovery boot, and go back for my Win7 option.
[22:10] <acicula> kv102t: id use an online update if possible though
[22:11] <hsr> phisher1: Yes... Thanks :) What was it?
[22:11] <Ganymede> MrClean: Okay, without sudo priveleges either.
[22:11] <Cebot> what's the name of the program ubuntu netbook edition uses for the gnome panel? (the one on the left side)
[22:11] <Viliny> phisher1: can i completely copy the hd im booting from to a sata disk i have? pata->sata want to put the os on a bigger disk
[22:11] <Lounge> can someone help with all these libboost packages that i keep getting when trying to apt-get upgrade?
[22:11] <acicula> Cebot: mutter
[22:11] <phisher1> Viliny: eh.. using ghost ya
[22:11] <phisher1> why though ?
[22:12] <phisher1> just backup what you need elsewhere then do a fresh insatll
[22:12] <MrClean> ganymede: you can't sudo anything?
[22:12] <kv102t> acicula: it's not showing on my update manager
[22:12] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: This would be a lot easier if I had the actual error that you are getting. Could you maybe boot up and give me the last few lines of code on your screen?
[22:12] <Ganymede> MrClean: Nope, just a normal user.
[22:12] <hsr> phisher1: It worked.. But what actually happened?
[22:12] <phisher1> hsr: what worked?
[22:12]  * hsr really like irssi now
[22:12] <phisher1> Irssi 0.8.15 (20100403) - http://irssi.org/
[22:12] <phisher1> =)
[22:12] <hsr> phisher1: Ctrl+Alt+F7 worked
[22:12] <MrClean> ganymede: join #linuxmint-help will probably be more helpful than this
[22:12] <phisher1> what did it do ?
[22:13] <kgunpowder> tylermolamphy, That is the last line, something about the kernel help but along with that there's that line, and one with a ? at the beginning, like that for hundreds of lines too. Not just that one.
[22:13] <phisher1> f7 is the tty predefined to have an X session
[22:13] <hsr> phisher1: It went to desktop I should say.. My okular was open, I was reading pdf
[22:13] <Viliny> phisher, spent so much time configuring this server id like to just transfer him to a better hd
[22:13] <acicula> kv102t: go into system->administration->software sources and look for an option that governs wether you get informed of every 6 month ubuntu upgrade or just the 18month lts update.
[22:13] <phisher1> gotcha.
[22:13] <Wraithulek> in icecast audio device is hw:0:0 (microphone) how to change it to speakers or how to get hw number of speakers?
[22:13] <phisher1> Viliny: you are still better off reinstalling
[22:13] <Ganymede> MrClean: or #debian even.
[22:13] <phisher1> you can get a list of packages you have installed and just install them to new box
[22:14] <phisher1> then copy over your ~/
[22:14] <acicula> kv102t: then rerun update-manager, check sources and it should provide you the upgrade option at the top of the update-manager window
[22:14] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: That's a bit confusing. What specifically does it say about your kernel? If it is a kernel issue and it's not giving you a prompt, it's usually cause for a re-installation of the kernel.
[22:14] <Cebot> acicula: thanks. by any chance, got the project homepage at hand too?
[22:14] <arbeck> I'm trying to install 10.10, but when i boot from the cd, my keyboard and mouse don't work.  I've never had this problem before, and I'm currently running 9.10
[22:14] <hsr> phisher1: So the desktop is X session and this cli on which irssi is is tty, right?
[22:14] <phisher1> oO
[22:14] <Kartagis> !info tucan
[22:14] <MrClean> ganymede: mint has developers in it almost constantly. if you can't get ikey or someone to help you the internet is down.
[22:14] <Viliny> yes but settings and all... it worked as a dhcp server and gateway and everything - took me a day to configure it all at some point and id just rather not do all that again...
[22:14] <edward_megginson> running Ubuntu 10.04. I am unable to resize my print dialog windows for some reason. Any ideas?
[22:14] <phisher1> hsr: don't run irssi from console dude
[22:14] <phisher1> open up a terminal
[22:14] <hsr> phisher1: That was the only help.. see
[22:14] <hsr> phisher1: But why?
[22:15] <phisher1> copy/paste
[22:15] <defib> Hey guys, I'm looking for some help trying to get compiz working properly. When I run the system test included in 10.10, it tells me theres no rendering method in use. What can I do?

[22:15] <Kartagis> can anybody help me get rid of this  tesseract-ocr please? I never wanted to install it but it seems it is a dependency for tucan
[22:16] <Kartagis> it always freezes when unpackiing
[22:16] <acicula> defib: what graphics hardware, or what computer if you dont know do you have, have  you enabled hardware drivers?
[22:16] <Cebot> acicula: nvm, got it...though googling for "mutter" will give you funny results, as it's the german word for "mother" :P
[22:16] <Kartagis> unpacking*
[22:16] <hsr> phisher1: Why I should not use irssi in tty?
[22:16] <acicula> Cebot: add mutter window manager
[22:16] <akaedintov> anyone help me please ??
[22:16] <kgunpowder> tylermolamphy, That would make a bit of sense, because I can't get anywhere when it comes down to that, but it would seem that another copy of "Isadora" does just about the same.
[22:16] <defib> acicula: I enabled the flgrx driver. I have an ati mobility radeon hd 4650

[22:17] <nadav> heya
[22:17] <nadav> how can I toggle between languages using the keyboard?
[22:17] <acicula> defib: what if you disable the flgrx driver again, does compiz work then
[22:17] <FloodBot1> nadav: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:17] <akaedintov> this is so crowded in this window , can someone write me in PM ?

[22:17] <FloodBot1> phisher1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:17] <edward_megginson> somehow i am no longer able to resize the print dialog windows or the columns inside. Any ideas?
[22:17] <defib> acicula: lemmie try that. when I enable the advanced desktop effects in appearance a window pops up looking for drivers
[22:17] <nadav> FloodBot1,  what the hell? I only typed 2 sentences
[22:17] <hsr> phisher1: Okay. Sorry. Thanks
[22:17] <fumanchu182> On 9.10 are there issues with solr-tomcat5.5 I am getting dependencies issues and I can't find anything in any bug reports.
[22:18] <acicula> defib: ah, dunno then :/
[22:18] <hsr> How to close irssi?
[22:18] <nadav> Anyway, back to my question - Is there any way I can toggle between languages using a keyboard shortcut?
[22:18] <acicula> hsr: /quit
[22:18] <phisher1> /quit
[22:18] <akaedintov> acicula help me please, i cant reach to desktop of ubuntu
[22:18] <hsr> How to close irssi?+
[22:18] <acicula> akaedintov: where during booting does it get stuck
[22:18] <phisher1> hsr: /quit
[22:18] <hsr> phisher1: And I repeat Ctrl+Alt+f7 will give me f7
[22:18] <phisher1> !!
[22:18] <defib> acicula: when i do compiz --replace everything flashes and then theres no title bars
[22:18] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: I would try reinstalling Mint, but if a fresh installation throws this error at you, then it's either a bad kernel release (unlikely,) or it doesn't like your computer hardware (more likely.)
[22:18] <akaedintov> noo
[22:18] <hsr> -++
[22:18] <phisher1> hsr: yes
[22:19] <phisher1> wow, pay attention
[22:19] <acicula> defib: yeah means compiz isnt starting
[22:19] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: I'm not familiar what kernel Mint runs on, so from there you're about on your own.
[22:19] <kv102t> acicula: OK i got it. Should i update?
[22:19] <defib> acicula: is there some command i can do that will give some feedback?
[22:19] <acicula> kv102t: that depends
[22:19] <AHemlocksLie> I'm trying to install ndiswrapper, and I'm trying to compile from source. The install file says when I run ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build, I need to see .config and include, but I don't have .config. How can I get it?
[22:19] <kgunpowder> tylermolamphy, I'd take your advice for both, ubuntu didn't have my drivers and although I got around that, Mint has disagreed from the start.
[22:19] <MrClean> whats wrong with mint?
[22:19] <acicula> defib: did you restart after enabling flgrx?
[22:20] <defib> acicula: of course
[22:20] <kv102t> acicula: well eveything works. is there anything new and sweet about the 10.10...  ? lol
[22:20] <ZykoticK9> kgunpowder, MrClean mint is OT here
[22:20] <MrClean> ot?
[22:20] <ZykoticK9> MrClean, sorry, Off Topic
[22:20] <nadav> Is there any way I can toggle between languages using a keyboard shortcut?
[22:20] <phisher1> AHemlocksLie: you might need kernel source.. is that default in ubuntu ?
[22:20] <Guest58331> I try to remove  a user account through the gui and when I close and go back to it; its still there. when i try the terminal command i get "userdel: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later."
[22:20] <MrClean> how is it off topic? its based off ubuntu?
[22:20] <acicula> kv102t: idunno, im using 10.10, its not completely terrible, theres an maverick experience topic on the ubuntu forum that may be usefull?
[22:21] <kv102t> acicula: could anything go wrong, now i know yer,yer it could but how lickley is it. Got vbox what i don't want to kill
[22:21] <i_is_broke> try ##mint
[22:21] <AHemlocksLie> phisher1, I have no idea, where would I find it?
[22:21] <phisher1> Guest58331: sudo
[22:21] <phisher1> or gksu
[22:21] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: Try out a new flavor, like Ubuntu 10.10 or Kubuntu 10.10, and see if you still have the same problems. Then you'll know that it's your hardware, unless Mint and Ubuntu run the same kernel. I have no idea if they do or not.
[22:21] <Guest58331> sudo did not work
[22:21] <kgunpowder> Ubuntu 10.10 is what I'm using, but I'll give a reinstall a shot.
[22:21] <kgunpowder> Tylermolamphy
[22:21] <acicula> defib: hmm, id stick to flgrx then, dunno why compiz is failing then. err could try starting it with compiz --replace and pasting any error message into google to see what turns up?
[22:21] <alket> Why i cannot format my USB, is it broken ?
[22:21] <MrClean> zykoticK9: how is Mint off topic, its based off ubuntu?
[22:22] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: When you said Isadora, I assumed you were running Linux Mint. My bad.
[22:22] <phisher1> Guest58331: open a terminal, sudo /usr/sbin/userdel -rf usertodel
[22:22] <defib> oh, and whats the keyboard shortcut to bring up a run
[22:22] <rww> !mintsupport | MrClean
[22:22] <phisher1> defib: alt-f2
[22:22] <ZykoticK9> !mint | MrClean
[22:22] <defib> thanks
[22:22] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: In that case, try 10.04 and see if those issues are there.
[22:22] <sresu> How to system activity from CLI?
[22:22] <tylermolamphy> kgunpowder: They run different kernels.
[22:22] <sresu> *know
[22:22] <rww> MrClean: In the same way that Ubuntu is offtopic for #debian. It's not a supported derivative.
[22:22] <defib> acicula: ill try that real quick
[22:22] <kv102t> acicula: might just download as CD and try as liveCD first.
[22:22] <tylermolamphy> sresu: top
[22:22] <acicula> kv102t: if ose it'll get updated automatically, if its the closed source version you'll have to make sure the new kernel gets the driver i think. As always backup before upgrading
[22:22] <MrClean> rww: thats just silly.
[22:22] <phisher1> AHemlocksLie: are you booted to your currently installed kernel?
[22:22] <arbeck> can someone help me with the installer.  My keyboard doesn't work when I boot off the cd.  I can't select a language or do anything.... it just hangs.
[22:23] <phisher1> i.e., did you install a new kernel but not reboot?
[22:23] <akaedintov> acicula , check your pm plase
[22:23] <acicula> kv102t: it works fine for me bar a few small glitches with hardware thats poorly supported(still).
 can i write from here please?

[22:23] <FloodBot1> akaedintov: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:23] <AHemlocksLie> phisher1, yeah, I'm in Ubuntu 10.10 right now, haven't done anything special, just a regular boot
[22:23] <rww> MrClean: No, it isn't. Linux Mint makes changes that we don't know about or support, so if you want help with Mint, use their channel. If you want to use this channel, use this channel's distribution..
[22:23] <tylermolamphy> phisher1: Try the silly stuff, like changing to another USB port.
[22:23] <Guest58331> userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later. is what came out after running that command
[22:23] <defib> acicula: all it puts out after compiz --replace is ' starting gtk-window-decorator '
[22:23] <MrClean> rww: what if I use both?
[22:23] <acicula> akaedintov: im not a personal support, for that i get payed. please ask your questions here
[22:23] <tylermolamphy> arbeck: Try the silly stuff, like changing to another USB port.
[22:24] <sresu> tylermolamphy: Thanks
[22:24] <rww> MrClean: Then you can ask in here for help with the Ubuntu install, and in Mint's channel for help with the Mint install.
[22:24] <tylermolamphy> phisher1: My bad, wrong person.
[22:24] <kv102t> acicula: Thanks, Think i'll clode MY HDD before updating !
[22:24] <tylermolamphy> sresu: No prob.
[22:24] <gizmobay> is there cpuburn for 10.10?
[22:24] <MrClean> rww: how can I make firefox free of latency issues in Kubuntu?
[22:24] <arbeck> tylermolamphy, I've tried all the silly stuff I can thing... two usb keyboards, changing all the ports, etc... i might be able to dig up a ps2 keyboard from someone, but I don't want to have to do that
[22:24] <rww> MrClean: No idea, I don't use Firefox on my Kubuntu.
[22:25] <rww> akaedintov: FloodBot1 is a bot, it doesn't understand you. Ask in-channel.
[22:25] <tylermolamphy> arbeck: What version are you trying to boot?
[22:25] <Pici> gizmobay: Yes, its in universe.
[22:25] <phisher1> AHemlocksLie: click on the little power button
[22:25] <akaedintov> at first i installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition, without a problem, it opened as usual....and there was 2 drivers neeeded permission to install , wireles drive and nvidia...i allowed them, because of that , i cant get to ubuntu ever again....Ubuntu 10.10 akaedintov tty1,akaedintov login: password:.aka@akaedintov: ~$ _.and so i cant reach to desktop.plase help me :(
[22:25] <phisher1> AHemlocksLie: does it say restart to install updates?
[22:25] <AHemlocksLie> phisher1, nope, just regular restart
[22:25] <MrClean> rww: is this channel always so....full....and lacking etiquette?
[22:25] <arbeck> tylermolamphy, 10.10 amd64... i'm running 9.10 currently
[22:25] <acicula> akaedintov: dont post your password as this channel is publicly indexed
[22:26] <phisher1> AHemlocksLie: you do have build-essentials installed right?
[22:26] <akaedintov> it is not my password
[22:26] <ZykoticK9> akaedintov, i'd suggest you try to uninstall nvidia and reboot.  possibly "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current" if you installed current.  good luck.
[22:26] <akaedintov> just described my problem
[22:26] <phisher1> build-essential *
[22:26] <acicula> akaedintov: do you know how to remove an nvidia driver via apt-get ?
[22:26] <AHemlocksLie> phisher1, I believe so, I'll try again just in case. sudo apt-get install build-essentials?
[22:26] <phisher1> sudo apt-get install build-essential
[22:26] <akaedintov> nope
[22:26] <tylermolamphy> arbeck: Try 10.10 i386 if you have another install media. It will work on your arch. Check if you have to same problems, but you don't have to install it 32bit.
[22:26] <AHemlocksLie> phisher1, already newest version
[22:27] <akaedintov> which of these commands
[22:27] <acicula> do what ZykoticK9 posted, login on the text console and use sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current
[22:27] <akaedintov> and , what will happen then , ill use it without driver ?
[22:27] <acicula> then reboot and do not reenable the nvidia driver for now
[22:27] <icedoe> A few days ago my network interface stopped detecting the ethernet connection in 10.04. I'm not sure what changed as it had been working fine previously, but I have confirmed that the problem is on the computer itself (hardware or software, not sure, but my hardware is rather new and higher end)
[22:27] <usuario> Hey. I've got a question. Does anybody knows how to disable the automuting of speakers feature? Ubuntu mutes my front panel headphones when I plug them
[22:27] <icedoe> What should I be checking to get this back up/ determine if its hardware or ubuntu problem?
[22:27] <tylermolamphy> icedoe: run ifconfig and post here the output
[22:28] <acicula> akaedintov: well there are two drivers, a binary one and an open source one. the binary one just carries more features
[22:28] <AHemlocksLie> phisher1, is .config supposed to be part of build-essentials or something?
[22:28] <phisher1> AHemlocksLie: i'm guessing you can't use the version in repos?
[22:28] <phisher1> AHemlocksLie: no.. i'm not sure what actually puts .config there
[22:28] <AHemlocksLie> phisher1, of ndiswrapper? nope, I was trying to use ndisgtk, but that's giving me errors finding the ndiswrapper module
[22:28] <ZykoticK9> usuario, that's funny - usually people want the opposite.  I have no idea though - good luck.
[22:28] <akaedintov> ok then,ill try and come ask again
[22:28] <akaedintov> thanks
[22:29] <acicula> yw
[22:29] <Bing0> Hi,  I upgraded to 10.10.  I have my /home dir backed up.  In places, I kept bookmarks of servers I connected to often.  Where in ~/ can I locate the config file so I can access my shares again in new install?  Thank.
[22:29] <moonunit> hey
[22:29] <_CommandeR_> what is the fdisk hex code for /home partition
[22:29] <AHemlocksLie> phisher1, so I'm trying to install ndiswrapper from source, which involved tracking down a patch to make it compatible with kernel 2.6.35, so it compiles okay, but still doesn't fix the problem, so I'm guessing I need .config
[22:29] <tarzeau> _CommandeR_: depends on the filesystem?

[22:31] <phisher1> Fn+F6
[22:31] <AHemlocksLie> phisher1, crap, thanks for trying, then

[22:31] <usuario> ZykoticK9, well it's mutting the ONE I am plugging in, and I have to unmute it from the volume control center to hear anything
[22:31] <AHemlocksLie> I'm trying to install ndiswrapper, and I'm trying to compile from source. The install file says when I run ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build, I need to see .config and include, but I don't have .config. How can I get it?

[22:31] <LordDragon> hey all. im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 with wubi on my windows xp netbook. but even though i have the 10.10 iso in the same directory as the wubi.exe installer, it insists on installing 10.04-1. is there any way to fix that?
[22:31] <phisher1> the Fn key!
[22:31] <mostholy> i'll try that
[22:31] <FloodBot1> phisher1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:32] <phisher1> oh shutup bot
[22:32] <MrClean> the fn key
[22:32] <MrClean> the function one
[22:32] <Chaser> AHemlocksLie, are you looking for kernel .config then ... /boot/config-`uname -r`
[22:32] <MrClean> the one that says FN
[22:32] <moonunit> can someone PM me
[22:32] <MrClean> you know? FN?
[22:32] <mostholy> that's all it takes? thanks! i'll try that
[22:32] <tarzeau> no no the Fn key on the laptop keyboard
[22:32] <moonunit> who can help with update
[22:32] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, yeah, installing ndisgtk from repositories isn't working right, can't find ndiswrapper module, so I'm trying to install from source to hopefully fix it
[22:32] <tarzeau> not like f1,f2,f3...
[22:32] <MrClean> thats a bit queer mate
[22:32] <phisher1> Guest58331: [16:30] < phisher1> and you are running via sudo or su'd to root ?
[22:32] <inusp> oi pessoal
[22:32] <phisher1> you really have to nick prefix in here .. sheesh
[22:32] <mostholy> yeah i got it, thanks tarzeau
[22:32] <phisher1> noobs and lots of traffic
[22:33] <acicula> AHemlocksLie: ndiswrapper is part of your kernel as a module
[22:33] <tarzeau> phisher1: lots of traffic?
[22:33] <inusp> kk alguem falando portugues ?
[22:33] <mostholy> and thank you too, mrclean. you could hae helped me, but you've done so much omre
[22:33] <mostholy> more
[22:33] <Guest58331> phisher1: yes I am
[22:33] <acicula> AHemlocksLie: modprobe ndiswrapper should load it for you?
[22:33] <rww> !pt | inusp
[22:33] <Lars_G> Yu know, I still don't know why ubuntu couldn't wait until my birthday (22) to release meerkat
[22:33] <Bing0> tarzeau, lotsa ppl asking questions...
[22:33] <AHemlocksLie> Chaser, do I just need to copy that to the build folder?
[22:33] <phisher1> tarzeau: I thought that was obvious.
[22:33] <tarzeau> phisher1: the billionths second after unix time was LOTS of traffic. this is low
[22:33] <tarzeau> Bing0: not that much
[22:33] <phisher1> mmk
[22:33] <tarzeau> Bing0: i've seen busier channels
[22:33] <Bing0> Hi,  I upgraded to 10.10.  I have my /home dir backed up.  In places, I kept bookmarks of servers I connected to often.  Where in ~/ can I locate the config file so I can access my shares again in new install?  Thank.
[22:33] <phisher1> ahh
[22:33] <phisher1> was waiting for you
[22:33] <phisher1> mr. 1up
[22:33] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, it's not working. It says FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found
[22:33] <phisher1> theres always at least 1
[22:33] <tarzeau> Bing0: which application was it? gnome nautilus or something?
[22:34] <Chaser> AHemlocksLie, I dont know anything about ndiswrapper but yeah to compile a new kernel you have to copy that as .config
[22:34] <LordDragon> does anyone use wubi installer in here?
[22:34] <icedoe> output from ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/513410/plain/
[22:34] <tarzeau> used it once. SUCKS big time
[22:34] <AHemlocksLie> Chaser, okay, so in theory, I need to copy that to the build folder, rename it to ".config", and try to compile ndiswrapper again?
[22:34] <dhalsim> hi, i need to disable eclipse in indicator menu applet. anyone knows where to do that?
[22:34] <acicula> AHemlocksLie: what ubuntu version are you using?
[22:34] <RoC_MasterMind> Has anyone gotten root on iSCSI working?  I can install fine, but when I boot the system using gPXE, it shows grub and then iscsitarget says "login failed to authenticate with target", even though there is no authentication configured during Ubuntu setup or on the target.
[22:34] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, 10.10
[22:34] <Bing0> tarzeau, I assume.  the app that is called when I click Places in the upper tray.
[22:35] <icedoe> looks to me like it detects the ethernet, but at least network manager is not detecting
[22:35] <ZykoticK9> !anyone | LordDragon
[22:35] <moonunit> how do i update from RC?
[22:35] <Chaser> AHemlocksLie, yes also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[22:35] <acicula> AHemlocksLie: odd, its part of the standard kernel image
[22:35] <Pici> !final | moonunit
[22:35] <tarzeau> Bing0: must be gnome. it's a config file in your home. gconf,gconf2 .gnome or .gnome2, there's so many places, or even .local
[22:35] <acicula> can you type in locate ndiswrapper.ko
[22:35] <tarzeau> Bing0: it'll be hard to locate the exact place
[22:35] <alket> How to repair a damaged USB ?
[22:35] <LordDragon> ZykoticK9, i already asked my exact question but no one noticed :)
[22:35] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, originally, it couldn't find ndiswrapper.ko, then I fixed that with depmod -a, then it started the module not found stuff
[22:36] <tarzeau> Bing0: the point is, gnome application configuration is a big big mess. worse than windows registry imho
[22:36] <acicula> Bing0: at a guess its somewhere in .gnome
[22:36] <LordDragon> ZykoticK9, my question was this:
[22:36] <LordDragon> hey all. im trying to install ubuntu 10.10 with wubi on my windows xp netbook. but even though i have the 10.10 iso in the same directory as the wubi.exe installer, it insists on installing 10.04-1. is there any way to fix that?
[22:36] <Bing0> tarzeau, i was afraid of that :/
[22:36] <Bing0> acicula, ok thanks
[22:36] <tarzeau> Bing0: just don't use gnome? :)
[22:36] <_CommandeR_> when creating a partition with fdisk how do you specify it as /home (with t command)
[22:36] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, yeah, I have it now that I tried to install it from source after tracking down a kernel patch, but it's still not working, so I'm trying to get .config
[22:36] <Bing0> tarzeau, im not that linux literate yet
[22:36] <phisher1> LordDragon: just install 10.04 and update
[22:36] <phisher1> =\
[22:36] <Bing0> im getting there :)
[22:36] <tarzeau> Bing0: or don't bother configuring it, or saving/restoring/upgrading their config files
[22:36] <acicula> _CommandeR_: mount locations are not set via fdisk
[22:36] <tarzeau> Bing0: it's not a linux problem. it's a gnome problem
[22:36] <acicula> just the disk type
[22:36] <ZykoticK9> _CommandeR_, partitioning and mounting are two separate things
[22:37] <tarzeau> Bing0: mister icaza thought he's a very smart guy. but he's not
[22:37] <LordDragon> phisher1, i tried that. it killed my current install and ubuntu wont even boot now. so i was gonna do a fresh install of 10.10
[22:37] <Bing0> it's all good tarzeau
[22:37] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, ...but locate ndiswrapper.ko still doesn't return anything, which is odd, I've seen it in a folder before, so I know it exists
[22:37] <acicula> AHemlocksLie: the kernel config you mean?
[22:37] <MindVirus1> When I run update-notifier, I get "** (update-notifier:21653): WARNING **: already running?"
[22:37] <MindVirus1> Any advice?
[22:37] <ZykoticK9> _CommandeR_, /home should be type 82 or 83 (one is linux the other swap, forget which  is which)
[22:37] <acicula> AHemlocksLie: err, dpkg-query -S ndiswrapper.ko gives ?
[22:37] <MindVirus1> ZykoticK9: 83 is Linux, 82 is swap.
[22:37] <MindVirus1> _CommandeR_: ^^
[22:37]  * tarzeau continues to play nethack and murder some more Gnomes...
[22:37] <ZykoticK9> MindVirus1, thanks
[22:37] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, I guess, the install file says running ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build needs to have at least .config and uh... something else it has now
[22:38] <acicula> the kernel config is stored in boot, its the map file
[22:38] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, er, had already
[22:38] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, thanx, yes  it is 83 that is Linux
[22:38] <_CommandeR_> was unsure in what to choose.
[22:38] <phisher1> duh, that is kernel config..
[22:38] <MindVirus1> I feel like it's a problem in my home directory.
[22:38] <phisher1> been so long since I've manually installed a kernel
[22:38] <fgh> my minimize and close buttons on windows are to the left how do i move the to the right?
[22:38] <MindVirus1> Some configuration's screwed up.
[22:38] <mostholy> ok, so the Fn key did absolutely nada
[22:38] <MindVirus1> fgh: Get gconf-editor.
[22:38] <MindVirus1> (You should have it.)
[22:38] <ZykoticK9> !controls | fgh
[22:39] <MindVirus1> Or that.
[22:39] <phisher1> mostholy: you realize you have to hit it in combination with the CRT/LCD button also right ?
[22:39] <mostholy> tarzeau, you still here?
[22:39] <tarzeau> mostholy: sure
[22:39] <meesebyte> How do I connect to an LAN (ethernet) in ubuntu 10.10 (the connection is bridged with a wireless Internet connection)?
[22:39] <mostholy> nope, no one told me that
[22:39] <MindVirus1> Any advice?
[22:39] <tarzeau> mostholy: the Fn key is like shift or ctrl or alt
[22:39] <mostholy> that's why i was asking how to do it
[22:39]  * phisher1 sighs
[22:39] <akaedintov> im back agaaiin!
[22:39] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, the dpkg command shows it in /kernel/ubuntu/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko, but that's only because I saw something somewhere while it was still giving errors about it that it needed it there. Actually, I need to reboot now that I've copied it into the kernel folder, don't I?
[22:39] <tarzeau> mostholy: it's dead, pressed alonely. but combined with the right other key, it's very powerful
[22:39] <hobomo> EXIT
[22:39] <phisher1> [16:31] < phisher1> Fn+F6
[22:39] <phisher1> [16:31] < phisher1> or whateevr
[22:39] <younder> I use the fresh skin which have the buttons on the right side
[22:39] <tarzeau> mostholy: check the color of the fn letters on the key
[22:39] <akaedintov> i deleted nvidia-current
[22:39] <fgh> thanks zykotick9
[22:39] <mostholy> yeah tarzeau, i know the the Fn key
[22:39] <acicula> meesebyte: plugin cable , optionally set connection details in nm-applet, right click->edit connections
[22:39] <akaedintov> but now
[22:39] <tarzeau> mostholy: then look for this color on other keys
[22:39] <AHemlocksLie> acicula, originally, it was in /lib/modules/misc, but I put a copy of it where I thought it needed to go
[22:40] <mostholy> just gotta find out which other key it is
[22:40] <tarzeau> mostholy: it should look like a screen symbol, that which will switch outputs
[22:40] <MindVirus1> Come on. Anyone?
[22:40] <mostholy> if this helps, its a Dell laptop. not my main machine
[22:40] <meesebyte> acicula: And.... Then what? Im there already
[22:40] <MindVirus1> Looking for a challenge?
[22:40] <tarzeau> mostholy: it's very cool that you know the Fn key
[22:40] <mostholy> i know how to do it on my Acer, ust not on the dell
[22:40] <MindVirus1> Betcha can't solve this.
[22:40] <akaedintov> i deleted nvidia-current , but now , it comes to the image writing ubuntu and under it five dots. it stucks in there.
[22:40] <phisher1> mostholy: LOOK at your keyboard.. you should see one of your function keys or # keys.. will either say CRT/LCD  or have a picture of a monitor
[22:40] <Robinux> hey guys ubuntu and kubuntu are pretty much the same except for their graphical looks right?
[22:40] <acicula> meesebyte: you need an ip,netmask and gateway, dns makes live more joyfull. thats it, if you dont have an internet connection then your bridge setup is broken
[22:40] <phisher1> Robinux: yes
[22:40] <mostholy> yep. looked for that. will try again
[22:41] <phisher1> different desktop environments.
[22:41] <Bing0> .
[22:41] <tarzeau> MindVirus1: i couldn't and wouldn't want to fix that, not ever for money
[22:41] <akaedintov> i deleted nvidia-current , but now , it comes to the image writing ubuntu and under it five dots. it stucks in there.
[22:41] <Robinux> phisher1: i see ok thanks man, i think i made a mistake i should've downloaded kubuntu cuz i've never tried kde4.5 :D
[22:41] <MindVirus1> phisher1, Robinux: The desktop environments are different as well as the applications you will be using.
[22:41] <akaedintov> acicula , are you rthere
[22:41] <acicula> akaedintov: try the rescue console and then the option that tries to start a gui or repair it?
[22:41] <tarzeau> akaedintov: welcome to ubuntu
[22:41] <phisher1> MindVirus1: don't tell me. =)
[22:42] <MindVirus1> phisher1: His name's right there.
[22:42] <tarzeau> akaedintov: do you have nv or nouveau drivers, if not nvidia?
[22:42] <acicula> rescue console as in select rescue option at boot.
[22:42] <phisher1> obviously different applications specific to each desktop environemnt will be different.
[22:42] <Mrokii> Robinux: Why don't you just install KDE?
[22:42] <akaedintov> no i dont
[22:42] <icedoe> should ifconfig output the same information when the ethernet cable is disconnected as when it is connected?
[22:42] <MindVirus1> phisher1: Not the newbie.
[22:42] <MindVirus1> *Not to
[22:42] <meesebyte> acicula: Will windows Internet sharing work instead of a bridge?
[22:42] <c3l> ive recently installed 10.10 now ubuntu doesnt recognize my keyboard AT ALL (laptop). bios does recognize it.. what could the issue be?
[22:42] <phisher1> hence why I said "Don't tell me"
[22:42] <phisher1> anyway...
[22:43] <c3l> okay, mousepad died now too
[22:43] <Robinux> i can get KDE with aptitude? then before logging in it will let me choose wether to use KDE or GNOME?
[22:43] <acicula> tarzeau: he just removed the nvidia drivers as they broke the graphics, were restting it back to noveau, if the rescue console doesnt fix it he will have to drop to a root shell, forcibly reinstall noveau and dpkg-reconfigure and reboot
[22:43] <akaedintov> acicula , then ehich section i select , in recovery section ???
[22:43] <tarzeau> Robinux: yes
[22:43] <MindVirus1> phisher1: I have no reason to believe you're not a newbie -- especially if you answer inconclusively to a newbie.
[22:43] <Robinux> nice :D
[22:43] <MindVirus1> Anyways...
[22:43] <phisher1> MindVirus1: fine, just don't talk to me for any reason then. =)
[22:43] <tarzeau> acicula: it should be possible without reboot too
[22:43] <MindVirus1> phisher1: Deal!
[22:43] <acicula> akaedintov: not sure what the options are called, but one has to do with fixing your  graphics or rescue graphics or safe mode or something to that extend. anyone who'sever seen that prompt feel free to chime in, heh
[22:44] <Omen_20> Is there any way to give GNOME's Window background color transparency or translucence? I'm thinking like panels do.
[22:44] <acicula> tarzeau: heu, probably
[22:44] <MindVirus1> update-notifier will not start, saying "already running?"
[22:44] <MindVirus1> Any advice?
[22:44] <tarzeau> Omen_20: wow
[22:44] <akaedintov> lets try that
[22:44] <akaedintov> t5hankls
[22:44] <Robinux> "Maverick" that's how its spelled right? i wanna name my Vbox right
[22:44] <rww> Robinux: yes
[22:44] <tarzeau> Omen_20: and when you have that, you work twice as fast?
[22:44] <acicula> tarzeau: hes stuck at boot though, so he needs to reboot and livecd/rescue to root shell first
[22:44] <tarzeau> acicula: or init=/bin/bash linux kernel parameter?
[22:44] <Omen_20> tarzeau, point?
[22:44] <Robinux> rww: thanks
[22:45] <tarzeau> Omen_20: i wonder why people ask for things like that. get a mac!
[22:45] <tarzeau> if you want to waste time
[22:45] <tarzeau> (and money)
[22:45] <acicula> tarzeau: id stick to using the root console
[22:45] <tarzeau> acicula: that's what you get, by init=/bin/bash
[22:45] <MindVirus1> What directory could I remove to reset the data from update-notifier?
[22:45] <MindVirus1> It would be in ~.
[22:45] <tarzeau> acicula: a console as root user
[22:46] <Omen_20> tarzeau, Whether u think it is a waste of time is irrelevant to me and doesnt answer whether or not it can be done. But thanks anyways.
[22:46] <MindVirus1> Actually... Is there a program that detects what files a program reads or writes?
[22:46] <acicula> tarzeau: yeah but so will rescue mode -> drop to root shell, less change of errors
[22:46] <tarzeau> Omen_20: no, it can't be done easily
[22:46] <Robinux> btw for a x64 processor with vbox being also x64 is it ok if i use the i386 version, it was saying (recommended) in the downloader and i felt there might not be enough x64 applications for x64 based systems or whatever
[22:46] <Vilemaxim> #centos
[22:46] <tarzeau> Omen_20: and if you do it, x gets unstable, as soon as you use applications that use opengl
[22:46] <AHemlocksLie> Chaser, I copied it, but it's still not showing up when I run the ls command. did I do something wrong somehow?
[22:46] <Omen_20> tarzeau, ok, thx. I saw where Compiz could make everything transparent, but not certain parts of windows.
[22:47] <c3l> im getting 'no X keyboard found' how do i fix this? bios can find my keyboard, standard eee pc
[22:47] <tarzeau> Omen_20: compiz can make the WHOLE window of any x application transparent
[22:47] <tarzeau> Omen_20: if you know the right key/mouse combination for it
[22:47] <Omen_20> tarzeau, yeah I dont want to use anything tacked on. I was looking for a supported way like how panels have it built in.
[22:47] <chalcedny> where's the md5 checksum for 10.10 ?
[22:48] <Robinux> okkkkk i guess i'll go ahead with installing the i386 version, i can't wait to download the other one anyways
[22:48] <trism> chalcedny: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/MD5SUMS
[22:48] <acicula> Robinux: this is not windows, most stuff is native 64bit
[22:48] <chalcedny> Robinux, 64 bit is fine, been great
[22:48] <ZykoticK9> chalcedny, or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[22:48] <mrnoda> hi all, when installing ubuntu 10.10, I notice the option for "install to largest free space" has been removed. Im using a laptop which i have reserved a 40gb partition primarily for ubuntu, but im not sure how I can simply choose the partition in the installer
[22:48] <chalcedny> ty much trism and ZykoticK9
[22:48] <bstarek> hi all
[22:48] <_CommandeR_> Ok guys got an issue, when using +4096MB i get value out of range in fdisk
[22:49] <mrnoda> Must I used the advanced option and decide a swap partition for myself, or is there an option to simply use a specified partition?
[22:49] <bstarek> my ubuntu isnt finding any update?is it weird??
[22:49] <isai> hello.
[22:49] <acicula> bstarek: trying to update from 10.04?
[22:49] <ZykoticK9> _CommandeR_, you don't have that much space available most likely
[22:49] <tarzeau> mrnoda: i'd just use a swap file, not a partition
[22:49] <Guest58331> userdel wont remove other user accounts even with root privs... it shows the error " userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later."
[22:49] <bstarek> acicula, no running the regular synpatic updates
[22:49] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, i should have 25gb
[22:50] <acicula> bstarek: i guess there just arent any updates then
[22:50] <bstarek> acicula, usually i have always have 3 or 4 updates....
[22:50] <ZykoticK9> _CommandeR_, verify using "p" in fdisk
[22:50] <tarzeau> Guest58331: try fuser -k /etc/gshadow ?
[22:50] <bstarek> acicula, possible :)
[22:50] <isai> Installed Ubuntu LTS last week on a new system. I can't get the system to consistently boot properly. After GRUB, sometimes it starts just fine, other times the screen goes black and then nothing. ?
[22:50] <loltph> one essential, my USB ports don't work with Ubuntu at all no detection, hpnx6325
[22:50] <Valantis_> hi
[22:50] <acicula> bstarek: even devs have a slow day
[22:50] <bstarek> acicula, well thats fine to me :)
[22:50] <acicula> isai: inconsistent behaviour typically points to a hardware problem
[22:50] <loltph> On an old laptop of mine nx6120 it worked fine
[22:50] <loltph> ati usb drivers
[22:51] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, blocks 83883366 for part1
[22:51] <isai> It's a new system, how to test for problems?
[22:51] <tarzeau> do you people like the ubuntu font?
[22:51] <Guest58331> tarzeau: it still isnt working
[22:51] <nertil__> CCcam rox on ubuntu 10.10
[22:51] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9,  for second 209158267+
[22:51] <bstarek> acicula, thankss
[22:51] <isai> also, once booted everything works fine, not a single problem after that.
[22:52] <alket> Why i cannot see shared folders in my local network ?
[22:52] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, this is a raid array of 2 disk each 150gb so there is 300gb of space and should be 25gb of unpartitioned space
[22:52] <Guest91999> how can I upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04 server?  all the guides say to set Prompt=normal, but I assume that will upgrade me to 10.10
[22:52] <acicula> isai: see if you get inconsistent behaviour too with 10.10?
[22:52] <ZykoticK9> _CommandeR_, ahh sorry - i can't help with RAID stuff.  good luck man.
[22:52] <dinky> Hi people, anyone good with bind? Having problems with setting up opendkim
[22:52] <isai> acicula: Is the difference between LTS and 10.10 really that big?
[22:53] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, is there a command to se how mutch is left?
[22:53] <tarzeau> isai: there's quite some differences yes
[22:53] <acicula> isai: well newer kernel and drivers make it worth trying yeah
[22:53] <Wizzard7> yes it is
[22:53] <dinky> I need some help with bind & opendkim. Can someone take a look at my config files?
[22:53] <tarzeau> isai: so are they between all releases. the ubuntu/canonical guys do quite some big changes every half a year
[22:53] <c3l> can I enter the console Without using the keyboard? im stuck in gdm as X doesn recognize my keyboard? (the keyboard is working, stuff like functino + Fkey to toggle wifi etc works, and it responds to the keyboard before X is launched) and even if I enter a console during boot (ctrl alt F*) I still get thrown back to gdm when its loaded.. do I need to reboot to fix this?
[22:53] <Guest58331> tarzeau: it still isnt working
[22:54] <tarzeau> i love the upgrade problems between gnome releases
[22:54] <ZykoticK9> _CommandeR_, when you use "n" for new with defaults what size does it create?  use "d" and the partition number to remove it (if you don't want it) - BE CAREFUL with this stuff!
[22:54] <tarzeau> Guest58331: yeah i heard that. you are telling me the 2nd time already
[22:54]  * tarzeau shrugs
[22:54] <tarzeau> Guest58331: if you want i can bake you chocolate cake
[22:54] <Guest58331> tarzeau: i wasnt sure if you saw it
[22:55] <isai> I'm already running for development stuff on this new system. I don't want to reinstall and blow that away. There has to be a better way to test hardware problems.
[22:55] <tarzeau> Guest58331: i saw it. but i don't remember what wasn't working. hehe
[22:55] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, it defaults to 4480
[22:55] <Guest58331> tarzeau: fuser -k /etc/gshadow didnt work
[22:56] <tarzeau> Guest58331: you did that as root?
[22:56] <dinky> I need help with bind & opendkim, can someone help?
[22:56] <acicula> c3l: if rebooting fixes it id just do that
[22:56] <ZykoticK9> _CommandeR_, blocks?  i'm not sure if that would be 4GB?
[22:56] <_CommandeR_> ZykoticK9, i guess it is blocks
[22:56] <tarzeau> dinky: obviously not, since nobody replied on the first time you asked...
[22:56] <guerrilha_gig> datacrusher, deu treta la
[22:56] <tobyjoiner> I just asked this, but got disconnected, so not sure if someone answered:  how can I upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04 server?  all the guides say to set Prompt=normal, but I assume that will upgrade me to 10.10
[22:56] <tarzeau> dinky: i know a bit of bind, but opendkim? no idea what that is
[22:56] <acicula> dinky: thats pretty specific stuff, this might not be the best place to ask
[22:56] <Guest58331> tarzeau: yes
[22:56] <20QAB8U6P> hey im having a problem the bar at the top of my windows is gone so i cant close the windows can anyone help me
[22:56] <ZykoticK9> _CommandeR_, which brings me back to my first comment - not enough space most likely
[22:57] <erUSUL> tobyjoiner: you have to do 8.10 --> 9.04 --> 9.10 --> 10.04
[22:57] <dinky> acicula: any idea of a better place?
[22:57] <basix-> ubuntu 10.10 runs a lot slower than 10.04
[22:57] <daniel__> Russo23
[22:57] <tobyjoiner> puke....but thanks =)
[22:57] <robotti^> basix-: is that true?
[22:57] <c3l> acicula: it doesn't. rebooted about 5 times now, trying with external keyboards too.. still nothing
[22:57] <basix-> yea
[22:57] <acicula> dinky: server admin stuff google->forums->mailing lists ?
[22:57] <tarzeau> basix-: i didn't notice anything like that
[22:57] <basix-> it's as slow as windows now
[22:57] <robotti^> should I reinstall ubuntu 10.04
[22:57] <tarzeau> robotti^: i don't think so
[22:57] <basix-> netbook*
[22:57] <tarzeau> robotti^: i woudln't
[22:58] <ZykoticK9> robotti^, not for me - i think basix- experience might be a unique situation
[22:58] <tarzeau> basix-: which netbook? which video card/driver?
[22:58] <tarzeau> ZykoticK9: for sure!
[22:58] <robotti^> tarzeau: my trackpoint scrolling does not work anymore after update
[22:58] <basix-> HP mini 110-1030NR
[22:58] <HGOTYT> the bars on my windows arent showing up anyone know how to fix it?
[22:58] <robotti^> it were working very well on ubuntu 10.04
[22:58] <basix-> especially loading software center
[22:58] <basix-> before it was a snap in 10.04 for me
[22:59] <tobyjoiner> thanks erUSUL
[22:59] <tarzeau> so something is broken in that part of it
[22:59] <basix-> i was very impressed compared to windows
[22:59] <acicula> HGOTYT: your wm crashed, open a terminal and type metacity --replace & or just reboot
[22:59] <Guest58331> tarzeau: still there?
[22:59] <arcsky> ist possible to send a processes (irssi) to a screen ?
[22:59] <tarzeau> Guest58331: yeah
[22:59] <twinkie_addict> im have good luck with 10.10 thught it is a very custum setup
[22:59] <ZykoticK9> HGOTYT, try running "compiz --replace" from alt+f2 (or terminal), if that fails "metacity --replace"
[22:59] <tarzeau> arcsky: screenshot? or gnu screen?
[22:59] <acicula> arcsky: no you cant do that
[22:59] <jMyles> Hello - Ive blacklisted a kernel driver, and than unblacklisted the driver, and now its not showing up - any suggestions?
[22:59] <arcsky> ok thx
[22:59] <Guest58331> tarzeau: kk... so any ideas?
[23:00] <tarzeau> Guest58331: nope, but when i think back at situations like yours
[23:00] <HGOTYT> thx guys that fixed it!
[23:00] <ZykoticK9> arcsky, type "screen" then start irssi -- use ctrl+a+d to detach
[23:00] <tarzeau> Guest58331: stuff doesn't work. i would install nethack, and play that
[23:00]  * twinkie_addict waits eagerly for his pizza to finsh cooking
[23:00] <acicula> jMyles: sudo depmod -a and try again?
[23:00] <tarzeau> Guest58331: it's very funny and a good time killer, and it'll exercise your patience
[23:01] <arcsky> well i have open a irssi window and i want it to be online without close it now/not reconnect
[23:01] <tarzeau> arcsky: did you run it inside gnu screen or not?
[23:01] <arcsky> tarzeau: no screen
[23:01] <yagoo> hi
[23:01] <twinkie_addict> the mana world is good if you a gui
[23:01] <tarzeau> arcsky: bad luck :)
[23:01] <uLinux> to play on linux sucks..
[23:02] <yagoo> am wonder about 10.10 < does multitouch support mac?
[23:02] <tarzeau> uLinux: bullshit. sauerbraten, bubnbros, jumpnbump, nethack, world of goo, great stuff!
[23:02] <rww> tarzeau: watch your language, please
[23:02] <jMyles> Sudo Depmod -a and restart?
[23:02] <tarzeau> rww: he said "sucks"
[23:02] <twinkie_addict> eternal lands
[23:02] <rww> tarzeau: two wrongs don't make a right
[23:02] <twinkie_addict> dofus
[23:02] <ZykoticK9> yagoo, multitouch in ubuntu, if it's supported at all, is very new for sure (be it on mac h/w or pc)
[23:02] <uLinux> sucks = not good
[23:02] <acicula> yagoo: ubuntu does do multitouch, wether the new mac does is unsure
[23:02] <tarzeau> rww: so what. just warning one, and not the other. is shit too!
[23:02] <yagoo> i see this- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch#Hardware%20Support
[23:02] <izardstreet> anyone know why i don't get a dropshadow on my nautilus-elementary menu items
[23:03] <racionalist> Is 10.10 more stable than 10.04?
[23:03] <twinkie_addict> theres alot of games for linux
[23:03] <Guest58331> userdel wont remove other user accounts even with root privs... it shows the error " userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later." can anyone else help
[23:03] <nadav_> how can I access my drive D that I recently had with windows
[23:03] <IdleOne> !language | tarzeau
[23:03] <nadav_> I can see it through the GUI
[23:03] <yagoo> nmind.. may/maynot.. not exactly sure of the trackpad hardware on here
[23:03] <nadav_> but I want to acess it with the command line
[23:03] <rww> tarzeau: I don't consider "sucks" to be family-unfriendly. I do consider your continued cussing to be.
[23:03] <twinkie_addict> even for my old box
[23:03] <uLinux> twinkie_addict: yeah there is but no good games and to play window$ games on linux.. sucks like i said :p
[23:03] <robotti^> anybody with trackpoint?
[23:03] <tarzeau> uLinux: there's good games for linux too
[23:04] <uLinux> make a decent fps game and i will play
[23:04] <linux_is_my_her1> how do install frostwire on ubuntu64?
[23:04] <ZykoticK9> racionalist, an LTS version (10.04) is typically more stable then the regular releases (10.10) - as the new releases introduce newer versions of software
[23:04] <tarzeau> uLinux: sauerbraten?
[23:04] <uLinux> bah
[23:04] <Robinux> hey guys the "software center" where you find "science and engineering" is that like what comes with GNOME only? or it comes in any ubuntu like in kubuntu for example?
[23:04] <jjoohhnn> you can play Minecraft on Linux!
[23:04] <rww> yup
[23:04] <racionalist> ZykoticK9 That means I should stick with 10.04 if I want more stability?
[23:04] <uLinux> yeah and sudoku -.-
[23:05] <ZykoticK9> racionalist, yes
[23:05] <tarzeau> Robinux: all the packages come with any linux system that has .deb packages
[23:05] <rww> Robinux: Generally, you can run any program on any desktop environment, it just might not look perfect
[23:05] <ZykoticK9> racionalist, the whole point of LTS is largely for stability
[23:05] <Robinux> oh ok
[23:05] <rww> Robinux: I believe Software Centre shows software meant for any
[23:05] <ZykoticK9> racionalist, and it should just keen getting more and more stable over time
[23:06] <Lars_G> Are there any ease space savers for / so that I can update from beta to hardy final?
[23:06] <Guest58331> userdel wont remove other user accounts even with root privs... it shows the error " userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later." can anyone else help
[23:06] <tarzeau> racionalist: as well as being supported by security updates
[23:06] <Robinux> well waw you guys i'm so glad i decided to try out ubuntu i just LOVE LOVE LOVE the "science and engineering" department lol its amazing
[23:06] <Robinux> sooooo helpfull
[23:06] <tarzeau> Robinux: which applications exactly?
[23:06] <Robinux> i think i'll download x64ubuntu and install it tomorrow
[23:06] <yagoo> Robinux, u install it right now u sob! ;p
[23:07] <Robinux> i didn't install i just clicked
[23:07] <Robinux> "try cd"
[23:07] <Lars_G> Robinux: Yeah, but I'm waiting to see an ubuntu distro similar to mandrake FEL
[23:07] <Robinux> and it was in "ubuntu softar center"
[23:07] <Robinux> yagoo very funny mate
[23:07] <yagoo> Lars_G, mandrak doesnt exist
[23:07] <Robinux> lars_g: got no idea, i'm new to linux
[23:07] <yagoo> Lars_G, you sure don't know its called mandriva now..
[23:08] <twinkie_addict> it does they just call it mandrivia now
[23:08] <Robinux> haha
[23:08] <tarzeau> uLinux: what about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_xwrr1KFWQ ?
[23:08] <Lars_G> yagoo: Yeah yeah, old habits die hard
[23:09] <Robinux> alright i'm shutting it down, going to the other vm till i install ubuntux64 and make it my #1 linux distro :D
[23:09] <Lars_G> Robinux: it's a mandriva based distro dedicated to EE
[23:09] <IdleOne> !ot
[23:09] <Lars_G> Robinux: All you need from PCB cad to VHDL coding
[23:09] <yagoo> Robinux, believe it or not.. i actually just finished ubuntux64 in vmware :p
[23:09] <Robinux> i thought it was debian based?
[23:09] <Lars_G> Meh sorry IdleOne
[23:09] <Robinux> finished?
[23:09] <LogicallyDashing> I've just installed a Radeon card. Things seem to be going alright, but DirectDraw surfaces aren't rendering. What's missing?
[23:10] <yagoo> Robinux, it's rebooting.. took about 10-15 minutes
[23:10] <Robinux> you're kidding
[23:10] <Robinux> why vmware when you have vbox? :P
[23:10] <yagoo> I guess it'll be sometime before they hack the macbook's multi trackpad..
[23:10] <Robinux> 10-15 minutes to install? yahoo?
[23:10] <yagoo> Robinux, yep..
[23:11] <yagoo> Robinux, vbox is good too.. haven't tried it on vbox
[23:11] <Robinux> i guess thats ok, about the same it took for debian to finish i  think
[23:11] <yagoo> Robinux, not keeping track of time.. i'd say about 8-10 minutes ...
[23:11] <Robinux> well its free too
[23:11] <Robinux> :D
[23:11] <rww> Ubuntu Desktop installs are faster than Ubuntu Alternate and Debian installs.
[23:11] <Mariojinx> I have Windows Vista and Ubuntu on the same machine. Is there any way I can actively switch between ubuntu and my already-installed windows?
[23:11] <twinkie_addict> 10 min after download for me to was running cli only install then added stuff later
[23:11] <Robinux> and their irc channel is helpful :D
[23:11] <tarzeau> rww: i disagree
[23:11] <rww> Ubiquity copies a disk image to the hard disk, whereas debian-installer (which Ubuntu Alternate also uses) installs the packages manually. so...
[23:12] <yagoo> Robinux, -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch#Hardware%20Support
[23:12] <yagoo> apparently doesnt look like macbooks trackpads are ready :/
[23:12] <rww> tarzeau: Okay. You have some very weird hardware or aren't installing comparable packagesets between the two, then.
[23:12] <tarzeau> rww: from cd to harddisk? filesystem of choice?
[23:12] <yagoo> Robinux, am looking forward to see what multitouch can do ubuntu..
[23:12] <Mariojinx> Did anyonw see my question?
[23:13] <tarzeau> rww: so this disk image thing is new w/ 10.10? we're mostly doing netboot/netinstalls (gbit connected to local mirrors, same packageset)
[23:13] <yagoo> Mariojinx, ? how is ubuntu installed?
[23:13] <tarzeau> rww: preferably to xfs
[23:13] <rww> tarzeau: no, it's been like that for a while
[23:13] <Mariojinx> yagoo: Ubuntu is installed by GRUB duelboot.
[23:13] <tarzeau> rww: then i didn't notice anything of the speedup with 10.04 (or it only works in some circumstances)
[23:14] <tarzeau> rww: the netboot/netinstaller downloads package by package and unpacks it
[23:14] <rww> tarzeau: netboots and netinstalls don't use Ubiquity.
[23:14] <yagoo> Mariojinx,  well u can add 2-3 lines to your grub config.. your config syntax depends if u use grub v1 or v2..
[23:14] <Robinux> what's kde's package called?
[23:14] <tarzeau> rww: can i use ubiquity with netboot/netinstall?
[23:14] <rww> I said the Ubuntu Desktop installer. i.e., the one on the Ubuntu Desktop ISO. i.e., not netboot
[23:14] <rww> tarzeau: not that I know of
[23:14] <Robinux> although now i have a feeling i won't wanna change lmfao i fell for gnome
[23:14] <Robinux> i'm too in love :P
[23:15] <tarzeau> rww: aha. i'm not going to build in cd-rom drives into 200 computers, then walk from one to another to install ubuntu
[23:15] <zprime_> I have a problem installing ubuntu.  I've tried several times today, but it keeps stoping at the "who are you part?" saying "Ready when you are..." with the forward button grayed out.  This has happened on 2 cd-r, a dvd-rw, and flash drive.  I've tried different write speeds, 32-bit and 64-bit. Long post, but any ideas?
[23:15] <Robinux> but i just wanted to know what version of kde it would download so i did this in a terminal "apt-cache policy kde"
[23:15] <Mariojinx> yagoo: What r those lines? I'm new. :(
[23:15] <Robinux> and it didn't work
[23:15] <rww> tarzeau: then what I said doesn't apply to you, obviously.
[23:15] <tarzeau> very nice. i'd like that feature not just on the cd!
[23:15] <NginUS> does anyone know how 10.10 does multiple bond devices nowadays? Nothing I fing online is relevany anymore.
[23:15] <NginUS> *find
[23:15] <ZykoticK9> rww, the new installer, with the partitioning/copying running at the bottom, with the questions regarding keyboard and location on top is brilliant. </ot>
[23:15] <tarzeau> rww: do you have some technical details, how it's done? i mean, what if the target disks are of different sizes, set up with lvm, and xfs (not ext2,3,4)
[23:15] <NginUS> I can only bring up 1 bond device, regardless of the max_bonds= value
[23:16] <rww> ZykoticK9: indeed
[23:16] <Mariojinx> I want to run both my OSes at the same time to switch between them.
[23:16] <rww> tarzeau: no idea, I haven't looked at the code
[23:16] <Kartagis> can someone help? there are problematic packages I can't get rid of for the life of me, and they keep haunting me every time I try autoremove etc.
[23:16] <tarzeau> Kartagis: which packages?
[23:17] <yagoo> Robinux, are you using ubunut permanently in the vbox? (there are accelerators for it-- but not sure for ubuntu v10.10)
[23:17] <finalblogger> hi guys
[23:17] <Kartagis> tarzeau terresac-ocr or something
[23:17] <iceroot> Kartagis: please paste the output of your apt-get
[23:17] <tarzeau> Kartagis: tesseract?
[23:17] <Robinux> ubuntu 10.10  it is, but its just a live-cd
[23:17] <finalblogger> i have just installed openoffice database from software centre but i cant open it
[23:17] <Mariojinx> I want to run both my OSes at the same time and switch between them.
[23:17] <Kartagis> tarzeau yea, that
[23:18] <finalblogger> no response
[23:18] <yagoo> Mariojinx, you can't run them at the same time. You can run them only at the same time, if one is virtualized..but it'll run alot slower** (like in vmware or virtualbox)
[23:18] <Robinux> yagoo: ubuntu 10.10  it is, but its just a live-cd
[23:18] <Kartagis> iceroot doing what? trying to remove it?
[23:18] <Lounge> ok fixed the problem with not seeing the vol applet by resetting the desktop back to default "rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity"
[23:18] <moonunit> how do i upgrade my distro again
[23:18] <tarzeau> Kartagis: you know the versions of debian/ubuntu are very outdated?
[23:18] <iceroot> Kartagis: yes, post the errors
[23:18] <moonunit> i already did apt get upgrade
[23:19] <Mariojinx> yagoo: Then is there a way I can integrate the compatibility of Vista with the speed and reliability of ubuntu?
[23:19] <moonunit> is it apt-get distro upgradE?
[23:19] <yagoo> Robinux, you should check that out.. if u plan on using vbox permanently.. (virtualbox developers may call it "add-on" software for a particular linux-- which installs accelerated drivers for the VM machine)
[23:19] <gilaniali> !clone
[23:19] <tarzeau> having tried more than 4 different ocr packages on linux, that was very disappointing... when seeing what scanner supplied windows ocr software was capable of
[23:19] <gilaniali> !automate
[23:19] <gilaniali> !cloning
[23:20] <Mariojinx> yagoo: Then is there a way I can integrate the compatibility of Vista with the speed and reliability of ubuntu? Right now, either way gives me half of what I want.
[23:20] <test34> How can I set the dual pane as a default in Nautilus ?
[23:20] <tarzeau> test34: have you been using norton commander or far, back then?
[23:20] <yagoo> Mariojinx, is linux running "natively" or not? Sounds to me I'm talking alien..
[23:21] <Mariojinx> yagoo: Ubuntu is running on a different partition than Vista.
[23:21] <zprime_> I have a problem installing ubuntu.  I've tried several times today, but it keeps stoping at the "who are you part?" saying "Ready when you are..." with the forward button grayed out.  This has happened on 2 cd-r, a dvd-rw, and flash drive.  I've tried different write speeds, 32-bit and 64-bit.
[23:21] <ady01> here to help the linux user
[23:21] <yagoo> Mariojinx, you want to share the files? You can mount ntfs-3g under linux..
[23:21] <usuario> yes yagoo
[23:21] <Jordan_U> zprime_: Your username must be all lowercase.
[23:21] <usuario> :)
[23:22] <Robinux> wait whats the search cmd for packages
[23:22] <zprime_> I don't understand zprime is all lowercase
[23:22] <test34> tarzeau, a little, why ?
[23:22] <Kartagis> iceroot whatever  I do, it's trying to install those two packages again
[23:22] <tarzeau> test34: you know about mc (midnight commander)?
[23:22] <William_> ubuntu 10.10 don't change much
[23:22] <yagoo> Robinux, "apropos package" :p
[23:22] <ZykoticK9> test34, looks like it's related to this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608431 see the forum post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435333
[23:22] <`ak> Anybody else make the mistake of upgradingto 10.10 and trying to buy software?
[23:23] <Some_Person> Is there any way to scale down everything on the screen (not just the dpi of the fonts) so that there is more space on my netbook's screen for things?
[23:23] <iceroot> Kartagis: what package? what is the output of apt-get?
[23:23] <tarzeau> `ak: buy what software?
[23:23] <`ak> Sadly Fluendo
[23:23] <Some_Person> I have a lot of windows cut off by the gnome-panel because the screen isn't very tall
[23:23] <`ak> i only updated to 10.10 for that purpose
[23:23] <Mariojinx> yagoo: I know. I want to have all my games, audio creation softwares, and anything else I may encounter to run on ubuntu.
[23:23] <Jordan_U> yagoo: apropos searches man pages for relevant (already installed) commands.
[23:23] <fgh> chromium or chrome?
[23:23] <test34> tarzeau, I tried that one too.. did they come out with a X gui ?
[23:23] <ady01> if you have a netbook some_person ubuntu have a version for netbooks
[23:23] <`ak> but the associated links are 401's
[23:24] <tarzeau> test34: no, and i'm glad they haven't :)
[23:24] <Jordan_U> Robinux: apt-cache search foo
[23:24] <Some_Person> ady01: I know, but I don't like the interface used on that version
[23:24] <Robinux> lol
[23:24] <tarzeau> test34: why would you want an X version?
[23:24] <`ak> so of course, now my apt repositories are screwed
[23:24] <yagoo> Mariojinx, you can't. There is a project called wine which can run a limitted number of windows applications more or less natively..
[23:24] <test34> thanks ZykoticK9  sounds like it
[23:24] <Kartagis> iceroot tesseract-ocr and tesseract-ocr-eng. apt-get proceeds normally then just hangs
[23:24] <iceroot> Kartagis: without details...
[23:24] <Robinux> Jordan_U: you da man!
[23:24] <`ak> i can confirm that there is no net connection, not proxy, other repos work - but oddly enough NOT the ones I paid for
[23:24] <yagoo> Mariojinx, if you need windows for gaming then obviously you can't get rid of it..
[23:25] <ady01> you cant scale down the norm version on netbooks some_person
[23:25] <yagoo> :p
[23:25] <test34> tarzeau, can use ssh with mc?
[23:25] <tarzeau> test34: yes
[23:25] <Kartagis> iceroot huh? I gave you details
[23:25] <`ak> Dual-boot windows/ubuntu is good for games
[23:25] <iceroot> Kartagis: i cant see a pastebin-entry
[23:25] <tarzeau> test34: you can also use x apps over ssh, but they might not be that fast
[23:25] <test34> tarzeau, I'll give it another try then
[23:25] <`ak> wine gaming kinda sux
[23:25] <yagoo> Mariojinx, unless that game has been ported to linux.. like urbanterror :p
[23:25] <tarzeau> `ak: full ack!
[23:25] <Mariojinx> yagoo: I know, but I want to know if there is a way I can use my apps on a lower level than wine.
[23:25] <Some_Person> ady01: Well then somebody should add that feature
[23:25] <shlomo> halo
[23:25] <mtx_init> How can one uninstall the indicator-applett without uninstalling and removing the right most usermenu on the gnome panel called session.
[23:25] <tarzeau> `ak: but there's native games, that are nice to play
[23:25] <Kartagis> iceroot apt-get doesn't produce an error. it just hangs
[23:25] <zvacet> I can not set permissions for usb how to do it
[23:25] <test34> tarzeau, I dont mean using it over ssh, I mean accessing an ssh directory with it
[23:26] <basix-> hmmm. how come ipod syncing is so difficult on ubuntu
[23:26] <yagoo> Mariojinx, you need a good computer.. Virtualbox can do it.
[23:26] <`ak> tarzeau - Totally agree!
[23:26] <iceroot> Kartagis: dpkg --configure -a  is doing what?
[23:26] <`ak> but if you're playing windows games, dual boot is simply a better game experience
[23:26] <ady01> some_person netbooks where designed to be cut down versions of notebooks so they are 'minimalistic'
[23:26] <Kartagis> iceroot and I can't get rid of it for the life of me
[23:26] <yagoo> Mariojinx, but everything inside will run slower..
[23:26] <Some_Person> basix-: Because Apple refuses to do anything standard
[23:26] <Mariojinx> yagoo: I have an Acer Aspire M3641... 2 years old...
[23:26] <iceroot> Kartagis: and aptitude is doing the same?
[23:26] <tarzeau> test34: hm... dunno, i never need that. ssh fuse mounts were not very fast, nor stable when i tried
[23:26] <Kartagis> iceroot yea
[23:26] <yagoo> Mariojinx, but everything inside will run slower.. << not for gaming.
[23:27] <basix-> is there anything better than rhythm, gtkpod?
[23:27] <`ak> amarok 1.4 ;)
[23:27] <trism> mtx_init: if you remove the indicator-applet-session menu from the panel, it will add most of the menu options there to the System menu (Lock/Log Out/Shutdown)
[23:27] <Some_Person> ady01: In form factor and processing power, sure, but usability and software too?
[23:27] <yagoo> basix-, i've seen songbird but their libraries are not community standardized...
[23:27] <Mariojinx> yagoo: It's not just applications, my Vista installation is screwy. My internet connection is half that of Ubuntu. <<1.0MB
[23:27] <Mariojinx> yagoo: It's not just applications, my Vista installation is screwy. My internet connection is half that of Ubuntu. <<1.0MB per second
[23:27] <ady01> yep afriad so some_person
[23:27] <Nadav> why some folders are colored green?
[23:27] <Nadav> in ubunutu console
[23:27] <Kartagis> iceroot maybe I should upgrade to maverick then try doing what I am trying?
[23:27] <gilaniali> I have an Ubuntu VPS, which has root logins disabled, i use a user account to log in which is a sudoer, and whenver i need to do a lot of messing around i simply change to root using `su root`. Is this the generally recommended way?
[23:27] <`ak> Mariojinx even less then 1MB should be ok for most games
[23:27] <basix-> yagoo, what's do you mean community standardized?
[23:27] <yagoo> Mariojinx, so re-intstall a new vista.. what can i say..
[23:28] <mtx_init> trism: I want it there though, like it as always been.  what a dumb move making that menu dependent on indicator-aplett
[23:28] <basix-> does amarok work on gnome?
[23:28] <yagoo> Mariojinx, then you'll just have to rerun grub-install </dev/XXX?> .. with the ubuntu rescue cd..
[23:28] <test34> tarzeau, with nautilus you can use sftp and easily transfer files to localhost.. I'll check to see if thats possible with "mc"
[23:28] <`ak> su root = bad ubutu juju
[23:28] <mtx_init> basix-: sure
[23:28] <Nadav> Why some folders in ubuntu console have their background color green? just wondering
[23:28] <iceroot> Kartagis: any output of "sudo dpkg -l | grep -v ii" ?
[23:28] <ZykoticK9> Nadav, green mean the directory is world writable
[23:28] <`ak> but, being an old hand - i still do it to half of my systems
[23:28] <Mariojinx> yagoo: How will I run my Vista partition as an image, then?
[23:28] <trism> mtx_init: actually it was always in the System menu until recent versions, when it moved, it has always been part of the indicator-applet-session
[23:28] <ady01> netbooks are just designed to be used as 'mobile' internet/email etc devices some_person so they only have limited hardware
[23:28] <`ak> but really forcing SUDO is a much better way to manage access etc
[23:29] <ZykoticK9> Nadav, you can use "ls -l" to see the permissions
[23:29] <mtx_init> basix-: clementine is better than modern amarok
[23:29] <`ak> and the first time you accidentally hit enter instead of tab when typing rm -rf : you'll be glad you weren't root
[23:29] <yagoo> Mariojinx, back up your data. sounds like you're telling me you have a virus.. I won't fix that on your windows..
[23:29] <Nadav> ah
[23:29] <Nadav> it m eans everyone can r/w
[23:29] <Nadav> ?
[23:29] <gilaniali> `ak: so what would u suggest?
[23:29] <mtx_init> trism: 10.10 is the first where it has been with indicator applet
[23:29] <Kartagis> iceroot http://pastebin.com/PmALbMe9
[23:29] <`ak> Why do you need to be root for the moment?
[23:30] <`ak> sadly, some software simply wants you to be root
[23:30] <mtx_init> trism: the rest it has been its own panel applett.
[23:30] <Some_Person> ady01: So you are basically telling me that I shouldn't try to run a mainstream OS on it?
[23:30] <iceroot> Kartagis: apt-cache policy tesseract-ocr-eng
[23:30] <yagoo> Some_Person, we only trust #topic.
[23:30] <`ak> personally - after a year of trying I've gotten used to prepending everything with sudo
[23:30] <yagoo> Some_Person, you want something else? go #there :p
[23:30] <gilaniali> `ak: i am trying to set up apache, and dont have to keep sudoing for the smallest thing
[23:30] <Mariojinx> yagoo: I just want to run Virtual Box where it boots up a partition. How will I run my Vista partition as an image?
[23:30] <trism> mtx_init: not true, but I don't really want to argue about this, you could try removing indicator-me if you don't want the other part of indicator-applet-session, don't know if that will work though
[23:30] <zprime_> I have a problem installing ubuntu.  I've tried several times today, but it keeps stoping at the "who are you part?" saying "Ready when you are..." with the forward button grayed out.  This has happened on 2 cd-r, a dvd-rw, and flash drive.  I've tried different write speeds, 32-bit and 64-bit.
[23:30] <`ak> or - if I have an install that really wants to be root - I enable it, then disable afterwards
[23:30] <`ak> gilaniali - is it a personal system?
[23:30] <ady01> you can some_person but dont expect full functionality
[23:31] <gilaniali> `ak: yup, a private vps
[23:31] <Mariojinx> yagoo: I don't have a virus, I'm right now using linux. :\
[23:31] <`ak> then do what makes you happy in the end
[23:31] <`ak> that is the trade off
[23:31] <`ak> sudo minimizes the chance you'll do a system wide mistake
[23:31] <Some_Person> ady01: Perhaps more limiting in my case is the fact that this netbook has no hard drive. I have ubuntu installed to an SD card
[23:31] <DaveTheAve> if you dont want to sudo constantly use sudo su to get a root prompt.
[23:31] <`ak> the other option, install apache as it's own user
[23:31] <ady01> thats why ubuntu & even windows have cut doen versions for netbooks some_person
[23:31] <`ak> apply all the proper rights
[23:31] <`ak> then su to that user
[23:31] <Some_Person> ady01: Windows has a netbook edition?
[23:31] <DaveTheAve> no
[23:31] <ZykoticK9> Mariojinx, your VirtualBox question is best asked in #vbox you can see the RAW partition instructions (notice the WARNING!) at http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk
[23:31] <yagoo> zprime_, did u try usbstick?
[23:32] <`ak> then all apache stuff won't need sudo - but  you still can't hose your root file sysstem or other sensitive places
[23:32] <mtx_init> trism: I have uninstalled indicator* since its inception and that menu has never gone away, just the rest of the crap with it. So it must have not been dependant on indicator or it would have been removed.
[23:32] <ady01> they do some_person its called windows 7 starter
[23:32] <zprime_> Yes
[23:32] <_Valantis_> hi
[23:32] <ady01> thats for netbooks some_person
[23:32] <`ak> However, I always compile my own apache's so it's easy - not sure what the ubuntu apache's look like when done from repo
[23:32] <Mariojinx> Zykotic9: let me check that link...
[23:32] <zprime_> The usb wouldn't ever load all the way though
[23:32] <ZykoticK9> !tab > Mariojinx
[23:32] <_Valantis_> i need some help with a driver for a USB VIDEO IN  its avermedia EZmaker usb
[23:33] <yagoo> zprime_, so i'd look at bios settings.. is your hd using what? ide/ahci ?
[23:33] <basix-> grr how the heck can i continue using linux without a good ipod sync?
[23:33] <Mariojinx> Zykoti9: let me check that link...
[23:33] <Mariojinx> Damn it, double post.
[23:34] <yagoo> Mariojinx, you told me that ubuntu was on its own partition.
[23:34] <zprime_> i don't know how do I find that
[23:34] <yagoo> ZykoticK9, ^ to Mariojinx
[23:34] <dhaivat> hello everyone. I have a dlink dwa 556 card that has a atheros 5008 chipset. How can I install drivers for this? It doesn't even show up in lspci.
[23:34] <trism> mtx_init: you could likewise remove it all and add shutdown and logout applet buttons in its place
[23:34] <alfonso> I installed gparted but when I run it , it crashes
[23:35] <basix-> i can't even upload a new song to my ipod with any of these applications?
[23:35] <Some_Person> ady01: Windows 7 Starter Edition = silly, in my opinion. Why would anyone even think of producing an OS where you cannot even change the desktop background?
[23:35] <n-ice> how do I install my kernel sources
[23:35] <Mariojinx> yagoo: Yes, but I want to run a different partition from my current one in a VM area.
[23:35] <mtx_init> trism: I could, but then the fancy menu is not there and I like it there.  I guess I will just deal with it
[23:35] <n-ice> I'm using 10.10
[23:35] <yagoo> Mariojinx, that's pretty useless..
[23:36] <yagoo> Mariojinx, you can use a gparted live cd in the VM and resize the linux partition..
[23:36] <ZykoticK9> n-ice, "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)"
[23:36] <zprime_> I figured out how to find that out and I don't have ANY o.s. installed right now
[23:36] <n-ice> ZykoticK9: thanks!
[23:36] <zprime_> I cleared my hard drive sure that the installation disc would work
[23:36] <dhaivat> oops. i meant a ar5418 chipset.
[23:36] <Mariojinx> yagoo: your missing the point. I want to be able to run Vista in a different partition from my seperate Ubuntu distro.
[23:36] <ady01> netbooks are not full notebooks some_person there just cut down versions - very portable etc but very limited hardware, even the processor is cut down, they use 'atom' or simlar which are like mobile phone processors
[23:37] <Nerdy3_14159265> I need some help with grub and sound in linux
[23:37] <zprime_> I'm running off of the live disc right now
[23:37] <airtonix> 'ak why do you need to recompile apache
[23:37] <yagoo> Mariojinx, I asked what was native. You reply was about having another partition. You've lost me since.
[23:37] <Nerdy3_14159265> My headphones don't work on ubuntu, and I need to delete grub entries and see if I can update it
[23:37] <Mariojinx> yagoo: your missing the point. I want to be able to run Vista in a different partition from my seperate Ubuntu distro. <<Running VBox or something, but booting a real system, not an image.
[23:37]  * yagoo ingores Mariojinx
[23:38] <alfonso> Why does dd doesnt work with windows xp ISO?
[23:38] <Nadav> I just downloaded utorrent for linux, how do I install tar.gz files? sorry for the newbieness
[23:38] <_Valantis_> i need some help with a driver for a USB VIDEO IN  its avermedia EZmaker usb  :P ...
[23:38] <Jordan_U> !windows | alfonso
[23:38] <Wraithulek> gn
[23:38] <airtonix> Mariijinx this information is on the virtual box website
[23:38] <Rockj> Is there any easy software which can easily modify the default ubuntu theme colors? Like the red background on terminals?
[23:38] <ady01> some_person netbooks are popular but there not full notebooks - they are just designed for portablility
[23:38] <askhader> What's the equivalent of grub's menu.lst on the latest ubuntu distributions?
[23:39] <Jordan_U> Nadav: What's wrong with the Free clients?
[23:39] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | askhader
 i think u have something against netbooks :P
[23:39] <Rockj> or could tell me where those settings are stored so I can modify em? I want to save these settings so I can share em with my laptop and friends.
[23:39] <Tokumei> Mariojinx, you want to run windows and ubuntu at the same time? if you need windows programs to work, check if they are compatible with wine in wine's appdb
[23:39] <airtonix> Ady01 my netbook wants to disagree with you
[23:39] <Nadav> Jordan_U,  what free clients?
[23:39] <ZykoticK9> askhader, see the !grub2 link - but the main file is /etc/default/grub
[23:39] <Mariojinx> I know how to use virtualbox. I want to use virtualbox on a partition, not an image.
[23:39] <Tokumei> http://appdb.winehq.org/
[23:39] <Jordan_U> !torrent | Nadav
[23:39] <ady01> not at all valantis - they have there place but i think some_person is confusing them with a full notebook
[23:40] <Tokumei> Mariojinx, if you want to do that, then read the virtualbox manual to learn how to do that, or figure it out. or do you want us to tell you how to use virtualbox in a channel that isnt about virtualbox?
[23:40] <airtonix> Mariojinx read the vbox site and be aware that doing this will bork your windows install for normal use
[23:41] <n-ice> what's ubuntu 10.04 kernel?
[23:41] <Tokumei> and why does it matter that you're using a different partition instead of an image file?
[23:41] <Nadav> aha
[23:41] <Nadav> I did not know that Jordan_U , thanks
[23:41] <rww> n-ice: 2.6.32
[23:41] <Mariojinx> Thanks. I'll try it.
[23:41] <Jordan_U> Nadav: You're welcome.
[23:41] <ady01> no confusion at all airtonix - netbooks are good but they have & always been designed to be cut down versions of notebooks
[23:41] <Nerdy3_14159265> I need some help getting my headphones working in linux
[23:41] <airtonix> Tokumei, because the method to access the oartition requires extra steps
[23:42] <Tokumei> n-ice, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+10.04+kernel&l=1
[23:42] <alfonso> I installed gparted but when I run it , it crashes. Why?
[23:42] <x_aos> exit
[23:42] <ady01> nerdy3_141592 can i help you
[23:43] <Nerdy3_14159265> sure
[23:43] <Da_Wrecka> Speaking of netbooks... Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the icon size in the launcher in the netbook version of Lucid?
[23:43] <rww> Tokumei: don't use lmgtfy links here, please. Link to the useful page you found on Google, and feel free to politely mention that's where you found it.
[23:43] <Tokumei> rww, aw, fine :/
[23:43] <ady01> nerdy3_141592 are you getting no sound at all
[23:44] <HaPK_PerCar> I recently upgraded to Maverick, in this toshiba satellite L645D, but sound won't come out of the headphones jack! can anyone help me here?
[23:44] <Tokumei> some things are best found out with a simple 5-second google search
[23:44] <Nerdy3_14159265> ady
[23:45] <Nerdy3_14159265> ady01 I get sound but it won't send any to my headphones
[23:45] <Da_Wrecka> Tokumei: Some things, but not all. I've not found out how to adjust the icon size in the Lucid launcher, for example
[23:45] <ady01> so are you getting sound from speakers then nerdy3_141592 ?
[23:45] <Scunizi> when looking in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers I have 2 options for nvidia.. 173 and "Current Version".. the Current version is running.. but how do I verify *which* version it is? either gui or cli
[23:46] <Nerdy3_14159265> yes
[23:46] <Tokumei> Da_Wrecka: well, of course not all. but something as simple as what kernel 10.04 uses, certainly.
[23:47] <Tokumei> you should only ask people things if you've already tried finding out yourself
[23:47] <Tokumei> 5 seconds of research time isnt unreasonable
[23:47] <Da_Wrecka> Yeah, on that we can agree
[23:47] <Guest51476> i try running sudo usrdel zakk and I keep getting "userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later."
[23:47] <_Valantis_> hello can any one help install my hardware ?
[23:47] <_Valantis_> i need some help with a driver for a USB VIDEO IN  its avermedia EZmaker usb  :P ...
[23:47] <Da_Wrecka> Although at the same time, it's entirely possible that you'll find the answer to one question while looking for something else
[23:48] <Tokumei> Da_Wrecka, like i said, not for something as simple as "which kernel"
[23:48] <HaPK_PerCar> I recently upgraded to Maverick, in this toshiba satellite L645D, but sound won't come out of the headphones jack! can anyone help me here?
[23:48] <Da_Wrecka> I found out why movies wouldn't play for me sometimes while trying to find out how to use multi-monitor in Xfce, for example
[23:48] <_Valantis_> its this one: http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=188
[23:49] <basix-> is Wine the best windows emulator for ubuntu?
[23:49] <Tokumei> and if doing research helps you solve other problems as well, all the more reason to use google
[23:49] <Tokumei> basix-, Wine Is Not an Emulator
[23:49] <Da_Wrecka> (still haven't figured out how to get multi-monitor in Xfce. If not for that I think I'd be using Xfce instead of GNOME all the time)
[23:49] <rww> basix-: yes
[23:49] <Tokumei> lol, i just had to do that :p
[23:49] <basix-> what is it considered?
[23:49] <islam> What did i just hear?
[23:49] <HaPK_PerCar> Wine Is'nt aN Emulator
[23:49] <islam> Wine? Emulator?
[23:49] <basix-> rww, thx
[23:50] <islam> Wine is noat an Emulator :p
[23:50] <LordDragon> basix-, for emulator use virtual box or parallels or vmware
[23:50] <islam> *not
[23:50] <basix-> ok
[23:50] <basix-> ;)
[23:50] <Tokumei> basix-, it's just a compatibility layer or interpreter or whatnot. it makes windows programs compatible with linux. you dont have to worry about all those technical details though, i was just teasing.
[23:50] <ady01> basix if you really must run windows exe's use a decent virtualisation software
[23:50] <basix-> lol k
[23:50] <Tokumei> technically, an emulator is like a "virtual computer"
[23:50] <basix-> ady01, just to run itunes
[23:50] <basix-> k :)
[23:50] <islam> Kinda
[23:51] <Tokumei> wine doesnt do that, it just lets you run windows programs natively and directly on your computer, without any emulation
[23:51] <HaPK_PerCar> basix-, why do you need itunes?
[23:51] <basix-> ha
[23:51] <islam> btw,why do you want to use itunes?
[23:51] <Da_Wrecka> Wine is useful for certain Windows apps under Linux though, when your system can't handle virtualisation.
[23:51] <islam> lol
[23:51]  * Tokumei hates itunes D:
[23:51] <LordDragon> wine is more of an api translator or something
[23:51] <basix-> cuz i can't add any mp3s to my ipod
[23:51] <ady01> try banshee basix - just the same and will connect to ipod /iphone etc
[23:51] <Da_Wrecka> I quite like being able to play Diablo 2 on my Ubuntu netbook :)
[23:51]  * islam loves IRC
[23:52] <islam> Or PVZ
[23:52] <darrend> hi.  My dbus-daemon seems to be leaking memory (using 870m right now and growing).  Any known issues with it?
[23:52] <_Valantis_> hehehehe Diablo2  :P
[23:52] <Da_Wrecka> wish I could use the high-res patch with D2, but it doesn't work with the latest version
[23:52] <Da_Wrecka> _Valantis_: Quiet you
[23:52] <Nadav> i installed tightvncserver through the aptitude program, how do I configure it?
[23:52] <Da_Wrecka> I'm talking about a netbook, it can't handle anything newer.
[23:52] <HaPK_PerCar> sound won't come out of the headphones jack. help please?
[23:52] <test34> basix-, next time you'll know not to buy an ipod
[23:52] <basix-> ady01, ok i'll check it out
[23:52] <_Valantis_> Diablo2 is nice
[23:52] <basix-> test34, what will i plug into my bose speaker?!
[23:52] <_Valantis_> i have a friend crazy about diablo
[23:52] <yagoo> islam, quite atheistic viewpoint coming from your name :p.. itunes is needed for proper ipod transfers
[23:53] <ady01> if you really must run itunes basix use sun virtual box and run windows in linux
[23:53] <Da_Wrecka> My MP3 player is a six-year-old Creative Zen Touch.
[23:53] <test34> basix-, another brand mp3 player
[23:53] <Nadav> i installed tightvncserver through the aptitude program, how do I configure it? I cant find it for some reason
[23:53] <islam> Rhythmbox is good for your Ipod
[23:53] <Da_Wrecka> twenty gigs of storage space and it cost me ten quid on Ebay
[23:53] <basix-> i don't think you can plug other mp3 players into it
[23:53] <GanonKiller> my sound keeps going out
[23:53] <yagoo> Nadav, use nx (from nomachine.com gpl available) .. so much better
[23:53] <islam> Well it worked for Ios 3.XX
[23:53] <basix-> is it a pain in the butt to install wine and itunes?
[23:53] <test34> basix-, do you use the 1/8 audio plug?
[23:53] <Nadav> yagoo, right now I have to use it
[23:53] <Nadav> any idea?
[23:53] <Tokumei> banshee can sync with ipod cant it? why would you need itunes?
[23:54] <basix-> cuz all of linux's ipod compatible programs don't work for me
[23:54] <Da_Wrecka> basix-: Installing Wine is easy. You just use sudo apt-get install wine
[23:54] <yagoo> Nadav, you mean you're setting it up.. the server side or the client side?
[23:54] <islam> @yagoo well aplle wants you to use itunes ;)
[23:54] <ady01> basix the web site for banshee is http://banshee.fm/
[23:54] <islam> *apple
[23:54] <Da_Wrecka> iTunes, well... Why the hell would you want it, first of all
[23:54] <basix-> k thx
[23:54] <Nadav> I need to set the server side at my computer
[23:54] <Nadav> I cant find it tho
[23:54] <Tokumei> hey, why isnt banshee just the default music manager in ubuntu anyway? why rythmbox?
[23:54] <Da_Wrecka> There are so many less craptastic ways to sync your MP3 player
[23:54] <yagoo> Nadav, I tell everyone to stop using vnc.. I stopped using it 3 years ago...
[23:54] <basix-> test34, the ipod docks right into the speaker
[23:54] <yagoo> Nadav, nx is catching on as its replacement..
[23:54] <Da_Wrecka> okay, on Windows you're stuck with iTunes, but Linux, you've got a lot more options
[23:54] <basix-> there is no other input .. i dont think?
[23:55] <ady01> hi tokumei they dont include it as its not supported by canonical yet
[23:55] <Tokumei> itunes is slow and their itunes store is overpriced and only in apple's sucky .m4a format
[23:55] <basix-> i would love to never have to buy anything apple
[23:55] <Nadav> I will do it when i got time but I must get going
[23:55] <Tokumei> basix-, actually, apple makes really really wonderful screens.
[23:55] <test34> basix-, if your speakers had a 1/8 audio input then you could plug any mp3 player (or any phone)
[23:55] <yagoo> Nadav, there's nothing to setup with nx.. it's much easier to setup than vnc..
[23:55] <ady01> banshee runs everything peeps and works
[23:55] <HaPK_PerCar> sound won't come out of the headphones jack. help please?
[23:55]  * islam likes Apples
[23:55] <basix-> it's the bose speaker made specifically for ipod :/
[23:56] <yagoo> Nadav, download the .debs for ubuntu (from nomachine.com) then simply dpkg -i *.deb
[23:56] <basix-> k ady01  i'll try banshee
[23:56] <Tokumei> ady01, why isnt banshee default in ubuntu instead of rythmbox?
[23:56] <Tokumei> rythmbox seems very inferior
[23:56] <Guest51476> i try running sudo usrdel zakk and I keep getting "userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later."
[23:56] <yagoo> Nadav, make sure openssh is already running.. then client side is too obvious..
[23:56] <test34> basix-, sorry for you luck then
[23:56] <yagoo> Nadav, (nx runs inside ssh as a subsystem..)
[23:56] <basix-> test34, it's ok i'll figure something out..thx
[23:56] <WienerWuerstel> Which Ipod do you use basix?
[23:56] <_Valantis_> i need some help with a driver for a USB VIDEO IN  its avermedia EZmaker usb  anyone done anything similar ?
[23:57] <ady01> canonical dont include it in the software list yet tokumei
[23:57] <Da_Wrecka> Quick, lazy question; What's the command for creating symbolic links?
[23:57] <yagoo> Da_Wrecka, apropos links
[23:57] <Da_Wrecka> ta
[23:58] <Some_Person> Da_Wrecka: ln -s
[23:58] <Starn> Hello,
[23:58] <HaPK_PerCar> sound won't come out of the headphones jack. help please?
[23:58] <rww> Da_Wrecka: ln -s /where/link/goes/to /optional/location/of/link
[23:58] <rww> though relative paths are better than absolute if possible
[23:58] <Guest51476> i try running sudo usrdel zakk and I keep getting "userdel: cannot lock /etc/gshadow; try again later." please someone help
[23:58] <Da_Wrecka> Okay, thanks all. I just needed the ln though, I'd have pulled up the manpage from there :)
[23:58] <ArtArfon> gholms c-76-17-250-218.hsd1.mn.comcast.net (Idiot...)
[23:58] <ady01> you can install banshee from software scources in ubuntu 9.04 onward basix
[23:58] <trism> Tokumei: rhythmbox is the default gnome audio player, ubuntu generally sticks with the gnome defaults (I like exaile myself)
[23:59] <rww> ArtArfon: hrm?
[23:59] <HaPK_PerCar> I recently upgraded to Maverick, in this toshiba satellite L645D, but sound won't come out of the headphones jack! can anyone help me here?
[23:59] <ady01> dont think exalie works with iphones/ipod etc though trism
[23:59] <Starn> If i use dual boot and booted into windows what would be a good way to run ubuntu in a virtual box if possible? while it has its own partition on this hard drive?
[23:59] <yagoo> HaPK_PerCar, is the sounddevice listed anywhere?
[23:59] <ady01> correct me if im wrong though trism
